Welcome to the latest episode of the shamrock.

I'm Pete Sampson, joined as always by my co-host, Matt Fortuna in Chicago.

Matt, this is our last episode before Christmas and after yesterday's kind of COVID scare

sort of thing where it's like, is this game still happening?

Yes.

Just the media access has changed.

I think my brain was in a really weird spot when I went to bed last night because no joke.

I had a dream that you FaceTimed me from the Camelback Inn to show me how skilled you were as a skateboarder.

And somehow you were skateboarding with Jess Matana, who's Notre Dame media personality.

So I, like I say, like my brain is a little bit fried after this last month. I need to

get to the camel back in after Christmas this morning

on December 25th.

I don't know how I'm supposed to follow this revelation.

It's impossible.

It's impossible. I'm not going to the game.

I don't skateboard. I've never skateboarded my life.

I've never actually met Jess.

Nor do I think I've FaceTime you since we do this thing via Zoom enough where we don't need to see each other anymore than we already do. God, it has been a month. It is Festivus. I don't if that's like your area of grievances. Mine would, uh, normally there's a lot with this team. I don't have anything really to complain about right now other than COVID,

which is not a neuradame problem.

That's a world problem.

So I think for the most part, health notwithstanding,

everyone's in a really good place right now.
