Hey, this is Sean Steyer, the host of Ivy Nation Sports Talk, what you've known as Ivy Nation Sports Talk, and what is now Ivy Nation Sports Beat, because if you're used to listening to this show or watching it on YouTube, well, you've come to know it as the Irish Breakdown Channel and Ivy Nation Sports Talk. I'm putting a disclaimer at the front of this podcast because today was the day we merged our show with Budweiser's Weekday Sportsbeat with Sports Radio WSBT in South Bend, which is heard on 960 a.m. and 106.1 FM on the radio. Vince DeDario, Jesse Steyers, were both with me on today's show.

We had a little, again, technical issue at the start, so I didn't want to just kind of go in cold to where the show picks up here in a minute.

But we do have a new name. It is now Ivy Nation Sports Beat on our podcast platform. But the multiple ways

you can watch and listen to the show now, there are a lot. You can watch it live still on

YouTube, either on the Irish Breakdown channel or on the Sports Radio, WSBT, channel. You can also

listen live, 960 a.m. in South Bend, 106.1 FM in southwestern Michigan, also on the

WSBT radio app. You can listen on demand at sports radio, WSBT.com. And of course, here on this podcast as well.

And I do want to, again, thank Dave Deutsch and Jim Erizarry from WSBT for bringing us aboard

at the radio station as well as Brian Driscoll here at IB and the WSBT radio engineer Bob Henning.

So it, you know, a little bit different format beginning with the fact that there are commercial breaks. And that'll come up a few times during the show. There's some references to what happens during commercial breaks on the YouTube stream. But wanted to get that in. So here's the rest

of the first hour of Ivy Nation Sportsbeat from today, Monday, July 21st, the first day

with Budweiser's weekday sports beat and sports radio, WSBT. Tunes is one of our old friends

from the YouTube show,

I can't wait for commercials.

This will be like watching the Super Bowl without J-Lo halfway through.

You won't actually hear commercials in your YouTube stream.

There will be commercial breaks.

And, you know, for our old friend Salty,

who was complaining that we were starting the show

late already we're trying to sort of navigate how the you know how the commercial breaks

impact our live streams and all that stuff as well so i'm trying we're trying to minimize that

a little bit so the show does start at 505 that's when we start so you know there are a couple commercial breaks during the show does start at 505. That's when we start so that, you know,
