coming up in just over 15 minutes at eight o'clock will be joined by Erick O'Neal, former

0:13.8

FBI agent who took down Robert Hanson who recently passed away in prison. He was the

0:21.1

subject of the movie Breach from a really good movie came out probably 12 or 15 years

0:28.0

ago. I don't know how old that movie. I was going to say 2005. Yeah, it's been out for

0:32.1

a while. But he'll join us coming up it could be wrong on it. So you don't want to

0:35.6

miss that. But we want to do get into the pretty remarkable body transformation of former

0:44.1

NFL alignment Russell O'Koon who played in the NFL for 11 seasons. He was a top 10 pick
