Summary

Mike and Rico begin the second hour of the show by bringing up a discussion that has been prominent on 97.1's airwaves today: Caitlin Clark not making the USA women's team for the 2024 Olympics. Valenti wonders if we should care about all of this since he doesn't. The guys take a few of your calls and read your ticket texts on the topic before Paul Serra joins for a college football blitz at the end of the hour.
