They're off to a great start this season. Another win last night. Jason was talking about their defense before we jumped on the air. Number one in the league tied with Colorado. So he'll join us at 7 o'clock. And coach Mike Loxley, head football coach at Maryland, will join us at 9 o'clock. I got to tell you, I've got a cough that I just can't kick. I've been quilling

it, NyQuil and DayQuil. Yeah. It's a waste. Need some cough drops. I've done cough drops.

It started with the sore throat on Friday night. You know when you have that sore throat

where it feels like razor blades? No, not tickle. It felt like razor blades when he swallowed. That went away, but the rest of the head cold just hasn't gone away. It takes some time. All that does is just like dull the pain a little bit. I'm not going to secure you. You know what I mean? I can see why Jason used to do that every night, though. Helps you sleep? It helps you sleep great.

I did not sleep great because I was coughing all night.

Yeah.

But it just, it kind of tastes good.

I don't know.

The night goals not bad.

I just like it because it knocks my ass out.

Yeah.

I love it.

I don't take it anymore, but.

Yeah, you might have had a borderline problem with it for a while. Yeah, and an addiction. You're leaning on it heavily. I mean, I think I have an addiction to melatonin. I take melatonin on the weekends. You're just trying to say, keep that sleep cycle regular. I just think I'm addicted to it. Yeah. That's what I don't get, because you always like, my body doesn't allow me to stay up. Well, you're also taking sleep aid. Correct. Like I said, I think I'm addicted to it. But he probably gets tired before he's taking it. It's not really that much of a sleep bait. No, I mean, I get tired, but then when you take it 20 minutes after I take it, it makes you more tired. It's hard to keep the eyes open. Yeah, yeah. But he gets tired before he takes the thing, believe me. Yeah, yeah. Well, I told myself I wasn't going to stay up late last night, but NBA on NBC, man. It's pretty cool. I watched a little bit of the first game. I'm sure you watched the Michael Jordan interview. I didn't see that. I was switching around, but... So how are they going to use him? How are they actually going to use him? You're still unclear? I think they might just be stringing out this interview for a while. Oh, my God. They're just going to milk that forever. That can't be the case. I think they may be milking it.

No. Are they paying him a boatload of cash? I mean, I guess he's going to do some analysis at some point. He was talking about how he still loves the game. He wishes he could be out there still. Right. What else? Anything else? Anything good? I didn't watch the full thing. Yeah. But I did watch a little of the late game. And, you know, a lot of people are into the music being back. You know, the iconic. Do, do, do, do, do, do. All right. I didn't know it left. They were playing that all right. What's the big deal? Because you didn't have this.

Why? Because this is NBC's music. It's their property, I guess. I mean, they didn't even have the national news on last night. Yeah. They bumped the national news, which they never do. What, the 11 o'clock news? No, no, the national news. A 7 o'clock NBC news. Oh, 7 o'clock. Yeah, because they wanted to put the pregame on.

And they had Mello and Anthony Hardaway and Vince Carter, all doing pregame.
