This is the best of Stugats and Company live on Fox Sports Radio.

We are wrapping it up here from the American Century Championships out in Lake Tahoe, same day, every single day. I mean, it's unbelievable. Haven't seen a cloud in seven days. It's actually incredible, Taylor. We have a loaded show. We really do. Gary Sheffield, Matthew Gachuk, AJ Hawk. How about that? And Robert

Sala going to join us today. And on God bless football on the podcast, you can listen to what I

think was the best conversation we had all week. It's the Joe Thaisman show with Stuygots.

I mean, that guy is just unbelievable. But Taylor, you had an Austin Reeves interaction earlier today that I would like to hear more about. You just teased it. You're like, hey, Austin Reeves interaction, and I know what to do with that. That means it's something you want to talk about. So what happened with you and Austin Reeves here? So I saw Austin Reeves this morning in the hotel lobby. And as he was walking by, he just assumed I was somebody. So he said, hey, how are you doing? Very, very nice, courteous guy. Yes, if you're staying in the resort that I'm staying in, yes, they think you're somebody. It's an unbelievable thing. I've been coming here for 10 years. For nine years, no one thought anything about me. And now this year, everyone thinks of a big time celebrity just by staying in this hotel.

So Austin Reeves asked me, how are you doing? And I said,

if I was doing any better, I'd be you. And I gave him the double finger guns. He loved it.

Yeah. He said, and then when he said he loved it, I said, Austin, you could have that one for free. And, I mean, four years, $185 million max extension, good for Austin Reeves. It's very kind to you. So you set the table for me to go eat? Is that what you did? We're probably not going to get them. You did that a little late in the proceedings here. I would have preferred the finger guns like on Tuesday. You never know when you're going to run into Austin Reeves when you're getting coffee in a hotel lobby. You could have walked past Austin Reeves at any point this week. Just like, listen, you would have had to gone out of your way to do it, but you could have done it at any point. He's been standing next to us within 15 feet of us since Monday. Listen, you're going to nitpick this. You're going to nitpick that. Yeah. I'm having the time of my life. I know you are. I saw Colin Jost too again. Did you really? Me and Colin Jost, off air, have one of the best relationships here. That's great. It doesn't translate to getting him onto the show.

Well, it's parlayed into nothing.

I mean, well, it's parlayed into a little friendship with Colin Joseph where I see him this year. We both love Carolina. Right. That's what we bonded over last year. I knew we could bond over. He didn't remember me. Right. But I knew I could get that bond back with him because of how strong our bond was last year.

Yep.

I asked him, what do you think about the Mike Malone hire? Right away, his face lit up. He was like, finally, somebody asked me about Carolina. I've been dying to talk Carolina. Sure. He said he loves the hire. Yeah. And then as he was walking away, he said, it can't be worse than the Bill Belichick hire.
