God bless football.

God bless football, Mike J.

God bless football, Mike Golick, Jr.

Oh, God bless football, Taylor. Oh, God bless football, Taylor.

God bless football, Steve God.

You made his day.

You could have ruined his day.

I would have preferred that, but you made his day just by saying his name, Mike Gola, Jr.

Hey, listen, I do it I can.

I skipped the last name because I knew I was going to butcher the pronunciation,

even though I've known Taylor for God knows how long at this point.

Vipolis. Did I get it right? Yeah, nailed it. First try. Wow. I've been called him TV for months.

On a podcast. Go figure. Yes. So I was, I was panicked because normally your dad joins us on Tuesdays. That's when we're taping.

But he texted me today saying that he has lost his voice and he needs to save it for your show in the afternoon.

And in a panic, I texted Mikey A saying, I need a Golick today. He reached out to you. So thank you for doing this. And I'm concerned about your dad. I mean, that's only because his mom didn't answer. I was just going to say, I figured at ND mom was next up on the list here for Mikey A. Yes, yes. Is that okay, though? Is he, is he, is he going to be okay? He's doing okay. I heard him on our show meeting. He sounds a lot better today, but he is, he's the old school football player. He's everything we love about my dad. And that extends into broadcasting where much like in the NFL, how we talk about now the concussion protocol on the sideline, you literally have the team doctor take the helmet away from the player. We had to take the helmet away from dad yesterday.

It was too much for him.

He was just going to go run himself into the ground,

going to wind up with no voice, no throat, no anything.

So we had to pull him back, but he's good now.

Because your dad, listen, in a world where everyone is so unreliable,

your dad is the most reliable thing in my life.

Like he cares, like, and he was upset about not doing this.
