Tuesday edition pro football talk live here on NBCSN. Hello to our friends in the UK and

Ireland who are seeing the program live on Sky Sports and a special hello to our friend Alan in the

UK is having a lung operation today. Our thoughts are with him and his wife Susan. They are loyal viewers of the program in the UK. So we wish Alan all the best. Good morning. Chris, how are you? I'm doing good. I want to say good luck to Alan, too. I mean, you know, he doesn't tune into the show just to watch you. He might like me, too. In fact, you know, so I just want to make sure I can say hi.

I don't know. When did I suggest that he only watches the show to see me? And I, I, I, I, I, it was 30

seconds or less. This is going to be a long two hours. This is the mood you're in today.

I don't know, man.

I know.

You never know, right?

But yes, we got to say hi to him.

He reached out through, or his wife reached out through social media last night.

And we say hi to the UK every morning.

Alan Akera, I believe, is the last name.

But good luck to you with your lung surgery.

Go get them slugger, we'll be here.

Nice to know that you pay attention to the conversations we have just before we go on the air, Chris.

I totally paid attention and just didn't care at all, so it doesn't matter.

Yeah.

Okay.

That's good.

That's good to know.

All right.

Look, we're all still dealing with a strange time in our nation.
