Welcome back to the latest edition of the audible presented by Trader Joe's.

This is a special edition.

This is our national title preview show and we are joined by a big guest. He's a tough get but we were able to wrangle him.

It is Ari Wasserman who I'm excited that I will be seeing this weekend before Washington plays Michigan

We have a lot to get to Ari. Thanks for joining us today

It feels so good that the man has been lifted guys. I feel free. It's a shame that it's coming on the Ari Wasserman's shame tour, but I'll take any appearance on the audible I can get. Thanks for having me on.

I mean, I feel like this is the second time we've had you send like this is the second time having you on and listening to you say the band the band that was never a band has been lifted but

Ari for those it's not a man until you say it isn't like I you have to be the one that no I there's no there's no man

Some of our listeners have the feeling that somewhere beneath we can only just

Aria can only see your face and the top of your shirt is there or is there not a

little placard on your work desk that just says boss?

You're talking to this too, right?

I'll take that as a yes.

No, I mean for people who, I don't know how you wouldn't be familiar with Ari's work, but he is the host of our until Saturday or co-host of our until Saturday podcast, as well as the Stars Matter podcast and Stars Matter

is why we wanted to have you on our obviously this Michigan Washington matchup is

very unique in that it is two teams that don't necessarily hit that

magic threshold of four and five-star recruits which has kind of been your hauling card.

So, you know, how are you feeling right now?

This, if you would have asked me four or five months ago,

would be impossible.

I did ask me, I did ask you on this very show.

And what did I say?
