I'm out of here because the show's starting. Happy to have you all here, though. We've got a lot to talk about on today's show.

Of course, we are getting ready for game three, which is coming up tomorrow. We will have a little bit more diving into, well, a lot more really on tomorrow's show about game three and all of that.

But I have some early thoughts on game three that I want to get into.

Also going to get into the mailbag and use that to pinball through a lot of different topics on today's show.

So a lot to get into before I dive in everything.
