the rich eyes and show and now sitting in for rich. Here's Brian Weber. Welcome to the program. Great to be sitting in for rich on this new year's e final edition of the show for the year.

1:02.0

We are in a festive mood. We're going to have a great time talking football with you. Get you fully lined up for a massive NFL Sunday and the national semifinals coming up later today in college football.

1:15.0

In fact, let's make it official. Let me lean over hit this button. The countdown to kick off his own true way for the first of two national semifinals coming up at 330 Eastern Cincinnati and Alabama.

1:28.0

Follow by Georgia and Michigan. Hopefully by now if you've heard me on many versions of the Brian Weber show, which you've been canceled on several different national networks or filling in for rich.

1:42.0

This is day three of the extravaganza. You get a sense of my approach. I never overwhelm you with guests. We'll stick with a winning formula just one per hour in 20 minutes.

1:54.0

We'll expand the conversation talk NFL with Eric Edom of Yahoo sports coming up an hour number two. We'll go in depth on the national semifinals final four of college football when we say hello to Andy staples of the athletic more NFL conversation in the last hour of the show.

2:12.0

We'll check in with a good friend of mine Nick Ferguson, the former NFL safety. So there are opportunities for you to get involved with the program. The goal is to be interactive. The phone number 1844204 rich.

2:27.0

You can always hit me up on Twitter. That's B W Weber Weber would to be your last opportunity to have your voice heard this year. And hopefully I've not destroyed the program and it could lead to other opportunities.

2:46.0

As now I'm politicking on the air as a desperate fill in host, but maybe there will be a day when rich is not available. And because I'm here in Southern California, maybe you'll see my smiling face wearing way too much makeup on the simulcast probably won't happen because I'll be so excited to see my guy.

3:06.0

Dell to phone and I'll be yelling even more than I normally do, but should that day occur. The issue for me will be how do I lay out all my paperwork that's always the trouble when I'm on television and I understand it's a medium driven by optics, everything has to look clean and tidy.

3:28.0

So for example, I have several piles in front of me. Now I know where everything is and there's a science behind what appears to be random placement, but I had a quality monologue about the national semifinals in college football all mapped out will get there.

3:47.0

Not going to let this content not be used as my last show of the year after all, and it certainly is fitting given all that's on the line when Cincinnati is trying to prove not only they belong, but the entire group of five should have more opportunities on a national stage like this against my dialabamba, but less than an hour ago as I was just perusing the internet, making sure I wasn't going to miss anything.

4:13.0

While it's a holiday for most of you, it's a vitally important time, specifically in the NFL. So the news broke about an hour ago as I was going through Twitter, I saw the tweet from Adam Schaefter that according to his sources and then 15 minutes later, it was confirmed by the Minnesota Vikings.

4:34.0

Kirk Cousins not going to play in the Sunday night game, which is hugely important for the seven and eight Vikings against the 12 and three Packers.

5:02.7

So here we are again, and this is not about my work schedule throughout the holidays, but I was on the air in this time slot on Tuesday, when the Carson Wentz news broke.

5:16.6
