A Super Talk Mississippi Media Production.

You're listening to a Thunder and Lightning Extra here on Super Talk, Mississippi.

I'm Brian Hayden, and joining me now on the Welcome Home Beef Hotline is my good friend and the co-host of the Sports Talk Mississippi that you're hearing every day, Monday through Friday, 3 to 6 on any Super Talk channel.
