Very exciting. Mel Kiper Jr. is with us. A little bit early, but I saw a promo for the draft during the playoffs. We're still playing football. That's how big this thing has become.

And Mel Kuiper Jr. is the reason it has become so big.

We were talking right before we started recording here, Mel.

And you imagine we had field on and first draft, the first draft pod is out right now with

field with Mel and of course Mike Greenberg.

And I said, where's field? How's he doing? You said he's out there skiing. He's out in

Colorado on the slopes. And I asked you, have you ever been skiing? And you looked at me like

I was an alien. Are you crazy? No, no. Water skis, no, snow ski. No, especially snow

I'm not a cold weather person now. That's not for me. So no, I have not done. I don't feel just be careful because last time he did something vacation wise, he was on a beach and hurt his shoulder. But by the way, guys, this lets you be back basically ringing 2026. When I'm one with you guys, now we know 2026 has begun. I'm watching Pitbull and Little John on New Year's Eve and now I got these guys. Now I'm back. It's like New Year's

once again. So 2026 actually begins the day for me now that we can ring in the new year.

We're talking a little draft here. Oh, I love it. Did you make it up till midnight, Mel?

I made it up to like 23, 3 o'clock. Yeah. Yeah. Really?

Oh, it's on New Year's Eve. I always stay up till 3, 4. The longest I've ever been up was New Year's Eve was 5. That was the year I met Kim. One of our first dates was a New Year's Eve party. Right. So I was up to like 5 o'clock that particular New Year's Eve. but other than that, there's always football the next day. So you can't go to, you know, I'm working. So I can't be, I can't be out all night. So, yeah, the one year I did not care about being out all night was the year I met Kim. One of the many things I love about you is how simple you keep your life and risk free that you keep your life. And so I am

wondering the most adventurous thing Mel Kuyper Jr. has ever done. I married Kim. I got married

because nobody in my family friends thought I would ever get married because they thought there

would be nobody out there crazy enough to ever say yes to me okay so that came and mickey knows that

michy knew me before kith so i would say that's the most crazy thing she's ever done mel was marrying

you it's the most adventurous thing that kins ever done right let me mike see nobody believes in me guys

even i said well it's always me because i'm the crazy one i'm'm always been noted as being the crazy one. Everybody says that. Then who would ever, ever, Beano Cook, late

great Beano Cook, one of our best friends ever. So his messages, I love Lord and Kim. When he met Kim,

he gave us a year and a half for an over under for our marriage. And Beano said the smart

money, the sharps, the sharps are on the under, heavy.
