You're listening to the Mike Francesa podcast on the Bet Rivers Network.

Hello, good everybody, and welcome to the Mike Francesa podcast, part of the Bet Rivers Network,

as we come to you on this abbreviated holiday week, tomorrow, our Football Friday show with all the picks and everything else, Francesa 5,

all the football for your big, big holiday

week. On this Tuesday, it's obviously a lot of, a travel day for a lot of people, the end of the

work week for most people. And, you know, it's funny. When we started in the business, now you're going back a lot of years.

You're going back to the 80s, which is kind of ancient now to talk about the 80s. But when we started, say, Micah the Mad Dog, our Wednesday Thanksgiving show was always considered the biggest drive time show of the year.

The feeling was there were more people in the listening audience.

And remember, drive time is because most people that are listening around in the cars.

That's the idea.

Okay.

Morning afternoon drive, especially afternoon drive. The Wednesday was always considered, and there came a point

where people started saying, I think Tuesday is bigger than Wednesday. I think Tuesday is

bigger than Wednesday, and Wednesday's a day off for a lot of people. And I think that it did change as we've expanded these weekends whenever we can. Whenever America can get a five-day weekend, they want it. Okay. Whenever they can get it over Christmas, get over New Year's, get it the right day. Calendar-wise, and of course, get it on Thanksgiving.

With Black Friday now being a big deal and, you know, being such a mega deal and now

Cyber Monday.

So it's, it's, you know, everything gets bigger and more stretched out and everything else.

So that's why Tuesday has become as big as it is.

And, you know, they say statistically that it is the biggest travel day of the holiday

weekend is Tuesday.

So, you know, you go by what they say statistically.

Now, we got some emails to get to.
