This episode is brought to you by Pepsi Max.

With the UAE for Champions League kicking off

and a brand new format for the new season,

you've got to wonder, will anything ever be the same?

Well, one thing you can know for sure is that Pepsi Max,

as proud sponsors of the men's and women champions league,

will be cheering from the sidelines like never before.

Pepsi Max, Dirsty for more. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 401 of the Battery Power podcast.

I am your host, Brad Rowland, and it's Sunday, May 28th. It's

almost Memorial Day, and I am joined by the fearless leader managing editor Chris Willis is here.

Hello, sir. How are you? Hey, Brad. How are you, man? I'm living the dream. We upgraded on Scott

tonight. That's good to see. Scott is still gallivanting around some international location and I'm trying to fill his shoes and, you know, look,

you always offer to be on the podcast, but you're so busy. I try not to bug you too much,

but it's time. Here we are. Yeah, and I missed earlier this week for Stephen to do a solo show.

So, you know, I'm glad to jump on here with you. It was fun to listen to Stephen. It was old

school. I really

enjoyed it. He seemed to be a natural in the hosting solo realm, but it's hard. People do not

appreciate that it's not comfortable to talk to yourself for 35 minutes about anything.

I do it all the time in basketball. I've gotten, I guess, maybe a little bit better at it,

but it's really terrifying. So shout out to Stephen for that. And Sean does it all the time too, and Sean is amazing at it.

So there you go.

We'll get into a lot of stuff on this podcast.
