Welcome to Andy and Ari on three, where we always compromise.

We always give a little, get a little.

Because that's how you do business, right, Ari?

Yeah, I'm trying to think about the compromises that you and I have made.

Like, one, your compromise, you have to show up and work with me every day.

Well, you've compromised for the start time of the show because you've got to drop your daughter

off at school or camp and camp is farther away from school. So you're hauling ass to get back

here in time for the show. And I appreciate that. I know that's hard. That's difficult.

But I also think this is the best time. So like I get it. And like when I'm finally like 10 minutes away from home, I can relax. But my house between the hours of 6 a.m. and 8.30 a.m. Central time is a zoo. So, and I remember five years ago, I used to stay up until three in the morning every night and sleep into like 10.30.

Remember? Like, that was the life of a sports writer. Nothing ever happened before noon.

Except that one time when I was a 19-year-old reporter who slept in on Memorial Day of 2000, I can't remember what year was, 2009.

No, no, no, way past 2009, but when Jim Tressel resigned, it was 2009 or 2010.

2011.

It was 11?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I slept in because it was Memorial Day and I was like partying all weekend and I woke up at

1 p.m. and he had been like resigned at 8.30 a.m. like I thought like that was like that stuck

with me but I was a responsible adult at the time. I was I had already written two columns by that

point. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't even weigh in on it.

Like, can you imagine how frantic that was for me?

You know, stuff happens.
