This is an IHeart podcast.

And welcome in.

Late Kick is live at this Thursday night, March 17th year of our Lord,

2,022 jam-packed, high atop, just a sea of grief in downtown Nashville. We're one block away from Broadway. It is St. Patrick's Night. Do you have any idea what's going on just over there? If you don't know already, you probably don't want to know. But look, a lot of college football shows out there, getting a little shook this time of year. March Madness, knocking them off their production schedule. Couldn't be us. We already got knocked off our schedule due to technical issues, so we're certainly not canceling another show, and there will be a reward for you being tuned in tonight or tomorrow whenever you choose to listen. Thank you for being here. Let me tell you what we're doing tonight. A little something different, but I think it's probably going to equate to a more jam-pack show than we even would have had with our normal format. You know how we do the late Kick Extra podcast, which is all Q&A, and I can't ever get to all the questions. Well, we're going to use this, and we're going to get to a whole lot of them tonight. I think we have like eight or nine. And we're probably going to come very close to spanning the entire college football universe. We've got questions about pretty much everything tonight. I am a little bit more excited even than I was when I pitched the concept earlier today. And I was already excited there. So we're going to go a long way around that old college football globe

tonight. They're watching us in Albuquerque in New Mexico. They're watching us in a Jesse country,

as we call it, Harrisburg, PA. You know where else they're watching us? In Quentin Malaysia,

our international audience never ceases to amaze me. And so I'm going to give an international

shoutout a night, and we have like a stockpile

of international shoutouts to give at late kick Josh make sure you're following on Twitter

Instagram you're really going to want to do that tonight because I want to give you a word

right now the word is madness okay and some of you are tuned in live right now I know a ton

of you are going to watch this replay and listen to this replay but we're in in the middle of the NCAA tournament. We're not ignorant to that. This is what we call

a P1 special. The diehard fans are going to show up either way. And you need to be rewarded for it.

So I just want you to remember it. Treat it like a promo code, if you will. Just keep this word

locked away. Madness. Probably not that hard to remember. Madness. You'll

know why a little ways down the road. Just for now, all you need to know is March 17th, madness.

That's what I need you to remember. Okay, so we've got so many questions teed up. I asked you to

submit some this morning. So we've got a combination of those and then some that have been left over from other shows and we took some that you guys submitted today and we could do whole shows off of them so we kicked them down the road a little bit so if we don't get to the question tonight it may not be because we ignored it or couldn't get to it it may be that we're going to get to it but that's that. Let's tee it up. Let's have a little fun tonight. First question. By the way, for those unfamiliar,

this is how the late kick extra podcast sounds all the time. So if you haven't ever tried it out,

here's a good idea of what you're missing. First question from our good friend, grumpy old

Sarge. He said exactly what would it take to get January 1st back to being

the college football day.
