Welcome to Annie and Ari's New Year's Blockin' Eve. I always wanted to host a New Year's show, Ari. It's been my dream. On the team network. Yeah. We just need a giant, yeah, I need like a giant garlic bulb dropping behind me. Yeah, well, we're going live at 6.30 in the morning. Pacific time. On New Year's Day, Pacific time. Yeah. Well, that's the time zone I'm in. So that's the one that affects me. Yeah, it's 8.15 now. Quit your whining. But no, what I'm saying is after this, I'm going to write. And then I'm going to go to bed because, like, I don't have the emotional ability to go out downstairs to the media room and start drinking and all this and then wake up at 630 and then cover the game.

Nobody wants to kiss another sports rider anyway.

Yeah.

Well, the truth is that I guess it is a sad state of affairs when you're like New Year's plans are just being alone in a hotel room without your family.

But here we are.

This is the I mean, that's been our existence for the, I know, entirety of our career. So like, it's not

really anything new. So, yeah, we did get room service burgers sent up here. So that, that, that's a

good way to ring in the day. Oh, oh, oh, look at you. We put, we put the pinky up with each sip our tea.

All right.

So I think we should start out with a question in the chat from Ferris

because I think it totally sums up the Penn State win against Boise State.

Has James Franklin won a big game yet?

So like the question is, is this count?

Is that what he's getting at?

Yeah, I lean, yes.

I lean, yes.

And look, it was a 17-point game.

You were sweating the backdoor cover just now.

It was, the back door was open.

And Boise State, I mean, look, that touchdown that was erased by the hands to the face

penalty, that's where it fell apart.

Yeah.
