Welcome to the show. It's a Friday.

Hope you're having a good day.

Jesse and I were just talking before we got on the air that this has been an understandably long week.

It's like the wind was taken out of our sails at the beginning of the week and we've all been treading water trying to reach the shore

ever since is kind of what it feels like are you are you drained like or do you feel as drained right now as you've felt maybe since,

uh, think back to August, I guess?

I am very drained right now.

Uh, been a very long week in terms of, you know,

the sports world just, just taking their shots at nondon

obviously still the disappointment of nardame not making the playoff and then

also just a very busy work week as well um so worked a lot of hours it just like

in life sometimes it feels like everything just hits at once and this is this is one of those

weeks i'll tell you what hits at once this show on the

irish breakdown youtube channel of course it's on the sports radio w sb t youtube channel as well

but ghost of n d in the youtube chat says he only found ivy a few weeks ago and uh he says

you guys have been getting spoiled with all the awesome Notre Dame content. I love back-to-back

shows. So there's your standard, Jesse. You've got something to live up to now as we roll into

relationship in the future. I wanted to start, though, because we weren't here yesterday.
