This is an IHeart podcast.

And just like that, we're back another edition of the late kick extra podcast, Tuesday morning, October 26th, the year of our Lord, 2021.

Happy to be back in the extra format. I know we had to take a little break last week. We had to give you a roundtable. We only do those like, what, twice a year I think we've done so far this year.

And also a little storytelling here and there. And I got some good ones for you this morning.

And that's the way this works. And if I sound a little bit wired, well, I am because I mean,

I just downed a whole can full of caffeine. But also the Braves are in the World Series tonight.

I don't think you guys

quite realize what this means to me. And it's not a baseball podcast, so I'm not going to bore you with all those details. But I'm just, to give you a little idea of my childhood, I was such a big Braves fan growing up, that in the summer when I was out of school, I would record the games at night, they were still on TBS back then.

I would record the games, watch them live

as I record them, and then watch them was out of school, I would record the games at night. They were still on TBS back then. I would

record the games, watch them live as I record them, and then watch them again the next morning.

So I would watch 18 innings on average of every Braves game. So yeah, it's a pretty big deal.

Because when they were in the playoffs every year, but not winning the World Series quite enough
