Well, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good evening Notre Dame fans, wherever you are, whenever you're watching or listening to this show, really appreciate you all for making us a part of your day.

I'm Mike Singer. I run the recruiting and YouTube operation of blue and gold.

And with me is the Indiana Sports Hall of Fame, Sports Writer Hall of Famer, Eric Hansen.

Eric, what is new, my friend? How are you? I feel like it's been a long time since we've done a show.

It's probably only been a week. But how the heck are you, you sir it's only been a week but it i'm doing great uh we got all the way up

into the 30s today which is as warm as it'll get all week so this was the peak of tropical

warmth i guess uh folks please do hit the thumbs up on this video subscribe to channel for more tropical warmth, I guess.

Folks, please do hit the thumbs up on this video, subscribe to channel for more content.

It just feels nice being out of the portal coverage as much as I loved it. And we had great numbers on everything.

You guys were really locked into following transfer portal coverage.

It is nice to be out of it and to cover what i know really really well and that's high school

recruiting and coaches on the road so it is a busy time of blue and gold um eric tip of the cap for

you for what we're going to talk about first about this news that came out tomorrow yesterday

while you were uh on your football Never Sleep Show with Tyler James,

Notre Dame defensive tackle Jason on you being granted a six-year of eligibility,

some breaking news from Mr. Eric Turkey Leg Hansen.

Pretty great.

So tell me about what this was like breaking, breaking that news while on a YouTube show.

It was, you know, pretty typical.

A lot of times it's relatives of mine who call me during the show forgetting that I'm on the air.

And this was a great source that

tipped me off onto the Jason Anya news and I had to say hey I'm live on YouTube
