I think we're live.

All right.

Welcome, everyone.

Sorry, I had a slight delay there.

Anthony Broome here with Clayton Safie, Chris Ballas,

for the first of many upcoming Monday night live shows.

We will be live here talking Michigan football at 6 p.m. on Monday nights throughout the season.

So fellas, good to be back. I'm in the,

the captain's chair, so to speak, for these. So, um, yeah, basically what we'll do, uh, before we get

both you guys in here, we're going to talk about this. The next step in the decision was

announced over the weekend. A depth chart was also announced. We spoke to Jim Harbaugh earlier today. So fellas, welcome on in. And Chris, you finally, you've got the headset. You've got the microphone. You look like a Twitch streamer here. So welcome to the 21st century. Just kidding. I can hear you. Can you hear me now? I was this message. I got all kinds of problems with these mics, mics man and it's kind of nerve-wracking have been live since i was on the bozo show i think back when i was like in kindergarten so and you guys did probably don't even remember that it was well before your time so but it was this bozo the clown you're referring it is i was not the clown i was just a kindergarten kid throwing balls into a bucket back then. But yeah, but this is fun, fellas. And assuming that the Wi-Fi holds up, we've had some major storms go through here, fellas. So we all lost a little bit of power at one point or another. But, hey, let's talk to Michigan football. And imagine naming your kid Bozo and he ends up being something other than a clown. It'd be unbelievable. Well, yeah, there was actually a guy who named his kid Adolf and it's like, come on, man, what are you doing? You know, so Bozo Adolf, those are big no-nose kids. Those are off the table now. Absolutely. No, I'm pumped fellows for these and it's game week. Get the buzz around town a little bit, driving around past the big house earlier.

You're kind of looking at it, realizing we're going to be up in that press box and hit a tailgate before in just a few days. So crazy. Yeah, it's exciting. And you know what? It was interesting today, guys listening to Jim Harbaugh talk after his podcast. We needed some clarity on the quarterbacks. and, you know, there was a faction that said, oh, that's going to be how J.J. fares against Colorado State and how, I'm sorry, how J.J. Fares against Hawaii and K. Fares against Colorado State that's going to determine who's the starter for the rest of the year. Well, that'd be just stupid. So we knew that wasn't going to happen. And Jim Harbaugh did say today that both guys are going to play. This thing could go on all year.

He said even beyond that these guys both have a lot of eligibility left and it's like he said it's a good problem to have yeah so anyone who's typically the three of us will come in and do the thursday show and it's a lot more i say structured loosely because we have you know we have a good time on there and we get through, we'll cover a lot of ground.

But these Monday night shows and really all of the live shows.

So just a quick intro to that, we'll be here Monday nights.

John Borton will do Tuesdays at 5.30.

You'll get a recruiting show with E.J. Holland on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. post game shows with me, usually about 30. You'll get a recruiting show with E.J. Holland on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. Post game shows with me,

usually about 15 minutes after the game ends with myself and Ryan Van Bergen. And then Sunday,

Ballast will be with Skeen at 7 p.m. So that's what we're doing for right now. The Thursday show will

stay intact. Probably not. It doesn't look like at this

point, we'll be able to make that happen live, but you will still get the three of us on Thursdays.

But yeah, let's hop right into it then. The quarterback battle has been the story of the offseason for
