Dan, I'm a little bit nervous today.

About?

Well, you know, I get here and I go say hello to my friend Mike Ryan,

and this is also coming off of a very, like, he was in a bad place yesterday.

Like he's had some dark stuff on the show yesterday.

And off the air.

A lot of people in Miami are still hurting.

There's a feeling of like sickness of hangover all over the city.

Yeah. And I said hello to him this morning. You i was like hey i just just regular how you're doing goes terrible i want to die like i don't know what i'm supposed to say to that yeah you're not supposed to say much of anything is that because uh duke is suing to keep mensa from coming here is because he's fighting's fighting with Uncle Luke? Is it just because they lost and he still hasn't gotten over it? He's here, I suppose I can ask. I mean, maybe it was because FSU beat the Hurricanes basketball last night. That too. I went to that game yesterday and I thought I could power through. And I saw a couple of people in the Hurricanesounge that I'm friends with and we all looked at each other. This was a mistake. We're going to go. Left at half time. I didn't have the heart to just watch green and orange running up and down a court. They had like ESPN on in the Hurricanes Lounge. So every 30 seconds, you just see Mendoza and confetti. confetti fly. Well, the thing I wanted to ask you guys actually is if you've been able to avoid the

televisions enough, because I just saw it this morning, to avoid seeing again and again the

Mendoza play.

The one Mendoza play of him running up the middle and scoring the touchdown keeps playing.

I feel like some of my channels are only airing that, nothing else.

Yeah, it's glorious, isn't it?

Hey, by the way, I don't know why everybody's so down in the dumps.

It's another sunny day here in football America.

As we go into this show, a request, in fact, a demand. From here on

out, call me national champion, Dave Damashire. Thank you. I mean, that's aggressive.

You just came in. You just bossed everyone around. Now Indiana is going to be cocky.

He's got the right. He's got the right. His team won.
