What's up, y'all? I'm Bud Elliott, and this is another edition of the Nolcast.

Unfortunately, yet another game where we do not have a Winston reaction, so we don't have an

instant reaction. I'm not just going to jump on here to rant about a loss when it's just,

you know, kind of second verse, same as the first, but I do have a couple game takes that I wanted to get off.

I have some thoughts about Mike Norvell's most recent press conference,

maybe some things that are going on behind the scenes in the program that I think people

might be interested in, you know, to the extent that I can share those without betraying

confidence of, you know, people who have come to trust me over the years.

So we will talk about all that and more.

Take some Patreon questions tonight.

Really appreciate everybody tuning in and checking this out.

You guys have told, tell me you like some of the shorter episodes,

a little bit less of rambling.

So I will try to try to just say the damn thing and get on.

And that's fine.

If you guys know other potential like occasional co-host you want me to work with,

let me know.

I am actively in the process of kind of feeling that out.

Probably not going to add it before the season's done.

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

But anyway, let's go ahead and get into this thing.

So this is kind of the loss that in some ways bothers me the most.
