Man DiTayo, Kyle Brandt in New York City. Kyle, I like the fact that we have eliminated the term sophomore slump in our show now. We will not acknowledge it because I won't even call the second hour of our show that. We have an absolutely electric factory rundown coming to you this way on GMFB. Kyle, right? Right? Tell me I'm wrong. You can't. We don't. No, you're right. We don't say X-factors. We don't say pretenders or contenders. We don't say, I didn't have that in my bingo cart. And we don't say sophomore slump. We do say that this hour, in fact, this segment, I think it's going to be a debate topic that's going to have us drawing knives. Let's just get into it right now. GMFB coming in hot. Fire in the hole.

2:17.2

household name players got married.

2:20.0

Just a lot of weddings going on from a lot of really important players on the field.

2:24.5

How does that affect the players historically moving forward?

2:28.8

When they get married, does it alter how they play for better or worse the following fall?

2:33.1

We did the research and the results are stunning. We're not going to believe it we have. We did the deep dive over the years, and I'm going to present it to you shortly. Okay, perfect. And we're not talking about the percentage of success for the marriages. It's the success on the field, okay? So just make sure there's a clarification for that. Throw down Thursday.
