Hey, everyone.

Adi Kinkabwala, joined as always by the fabulous.

Mike Ian.

I will take fabulous.

I will take any positive, glowing adjective that you are willing to throw my way at D.D. You know, I feel like if you've been up since 2 a.m., Mike, then even if I just said the chipper, Mike Yam, you would have been happy.

But as we talk about fun times, good times, we have to talk about a fun football movie that came out in 1996 and gave us probably one of the most fun, quotable lines of any sports film ever. So Mike, come on, give it to us. What am I talking about?

Show me the money! Sorry, that's as good as it's going to get. That's as good as it's going to get for me.

I have to say for being up since 2 a.m., that is really good, Mike, right there. I might need you to

record that for my ringtone. That would scare everyone around you.

Of course, for any of our listeners who are wondering where exactly that's from, it is
