PFT Live starts now.

Good morning. It's Wednesday, not Wednesday. Look, I screwed up right out of the gates. It's Tuesday.

0:34.1

Time is a flat circle here in Indianapolis. It's Groundhog's Day. We're back. It feels like we just left. And look who's with me. We have the very rare three-person show for the full

0:40.4

two hours. I don't think we've ever done three for the full two hours. We rarely do three for

0:46.6

two minutes. Miles Simmons, Shereen Williams, here with me. Chris Sims on his way at some point today

0:53.1

from Snowden, Connecticut. So thanks to both of you for getting up early. I know Miles is still adjusting from the whole jet lag thing. But at least, at least it's 7 a.m. It's not 4 a.m. Usually when you do this, it is 4 a.m. on your clock. You can look at your phone. You can look at your computer and see that it is

1:10.9

indeed 7 o'clock. So thanks to both of you for being here. Of course. You know, what's funny, Mike, I do keep my computer on Eastern time. So, you know, it's like you're trying to fool yourself, right, into thinking that everything is really later than it really is. And so today I don't really have to fool myself.

1:27.8

It's nice to just, you know, be here and be in God's time on Eastern Time and, you know, the United States.

1:34.1

And here we go.

1:35.5

This will be fun.

1:36.7

The one thing that I learn every time I leave the Eastern Time Zone is the Eastern Time is all that matters. And it's so difficult. It's very true. It's so difficult to do the math. And I think if you're only one hour behind as you are in Dallas, like it's even harder then and I never get used to it. And then when I finally begin to get used to it, it's time to go back home. But fortunately, and that's the first thing my wife asked when I called her and said, hey, I'm here. She's at the same time, I think it is. Nothing's changed. Nothing's changed on my phone or my computer. So we're still Eastern times. It does. In South, yes. Well, in South Bend, at least this is my understanding, and I hope I get this right.

2:17.9

Because in South Bend... I hope you get it wrong.

2:19.7

Well, I know. That would be pretty hilarious.

2:21.5

It's just outside of South Bend, or like maybe in South Bend, it changes from Eastern to Central.

2:27.3

Because my best friend is from up there.

2:30.7

And so his family was in Eastern Time, but his wife's family is in central so like they have

2:36.9

all kinds of confusion on time zones yeah but wait and they go to daylight savings i didn't think

2:42.5

they went to daylight savings i don't think they do daylight savings in indiana we're going to find that

2:46.7

out all right we'll find that out kids kids if you have a snow day yeah it feels like school. We're not talking about football, but we will be. And you may learn some other things. You may learn some words. I'm going to try to get one of them to swear on the air today. We were taking bets on who it would be. It's going to be miles. It's going to be miles. It's going to be miles. It's going to be miles. It's going to be sure. We've got two hours this morning, and there's no one around, and I doubt that anyone will be around for the next two hours. It's just the way it works. They'll start to trickle in. There's podiums everywhere. You can see them in the background. They will be from time to time occupied, partially, sometimes fully. They'll be media all over the place. There's a CBS

3:24.9

set next to us. There's some TV sets down here. Later in the day, there'll be coaches and
