Good morning, Kempers.

Alan Jerry, don't worry, it's only an hour long, and most days it doesn't suck.

There we go, a couple minutes after 5 o'clock, the Eddie Scuzeri.

Hello, hello, hello, Mike Flegelman in the producer's chair today.

Good morning to you as well, and across from me as an empty chair because Al Dukes is off today.

And I will tell you, he has picked a good day to be off because there are not a lot of fun

stories.

There's not a lot of funny stuff out there.

And quite frankly, nobody played unless you like hockey.

The Rangers did lose to the capitals.

But that having been said, there is a big, big game tonight in the NBA. And I do have a lot to get to.

As always, we will do four calls in the middle segment of the hour. Four calls. 888, 808, 101, 9 is the number about anything you want to talk about. The show, the podcast, whatever. It doesn't matter. Sports, whatever you'd like, that is on the table. That'll be after the

break. But there's a lot to do today in terms of actual games, which is why, again, good day for

Al not to be here. And there's a lot going on in the NFL, which we will get to. Good day for

Willie Colon to be in with Gio. So that'll be fun. And we will do that in just a couple of minutes. But, but, but, but there is a, for a regular season, Thursday night basketball game,

especially in these parts.

It's a pretty big game tonight in the NBA.

Now, does it suck that it's at 10 p.m.?

It does.

At least for, if you're listening morning, but you're up early.

And that likely means you are up early tomorrow.

And at 10 p.m. start does stink.
