Having a classic case of the Mondays.

Yeah.

Welcome in to an episode of the

Avalanche at the Ring podcast. I'm Megan Engley, joined by Jesse Montaño in Seattle ahead of Game 4 tonight.

My brain short-circuited that that was actually happening tonight.

How are you doing today?

I'm good. I'll be honest when I said I'm ready to go.

I didn't realize we were like ready to go.

You guys are on top of it today. So I got to catch up. I'm ready to go I didn't realize we were like ready to go that was you guys are on top of it today So I got to catch up. I got to get on your guys's level No, I'm good main. It's I was hoping to that the camera work a little bit better in the background got a nice view of the space needle here So it's it's a it's a good day here in Seattle. It's a little rainy a little little gloomy. We got morning skate here in about two hours. So I'm doing great. How are things back home? I've been working on my playoff beard. I don't think it's coming in as nicely as yours is right now. Oh, I don't know. I don't know. This doesn't look too great right now. I gotta get it cleaned up a bit.

I loved Frankie's comments about having the media that Bennett reported grow playoff

beards.

So we actually did it last year.

I don't know if you remember.

I thought we had a super chat that asked us to do it.

So at least me and AJ, I don't remember

if Ruto did it. But we actually did it last year and I remember by the end, I was like,

we were all hoping they would go this far, but I wasn't fully banking on going this far.

Keeping a beard that long. Yeah, yeah. I was like, and now those beard's out of control. But no, yeah, I'm with Frankie. It's nice. Everyone should do it. And yours is coming in great, Megan. Thank you. I've been working on it since October. I think you should go with maybe a playoff. You didn't call them curls what'd you call them?

I don't, mini braids.

Mini braids.

I could do mini breeds.

Yeah, just go mini braids the entire time.
