| 0:05.7 | here on the Monday edition of yard, the magnificent Monday edition of the yard. We don't fear Mondays |
| 0:12.4 | around here because we know it gives us another chance to get it right. So hope that you are well |
| 0:17.7 | today. There is a lot going on. And listen, I'm going to be honest with you. |
| 0:22.8 | So we spoke last week about the flag extensively on Friday and had a lot of reaction to that. |
| 0:30.5 | And as I said when I recorded the show, it doesn't hurt my feelings for someone to disagree with me over matter of an opinion you know |
| 0:38.2 | that's that's life you know we're not all going to agree on the same things and that's that's part |
| 0:43.2 | of the beauty of our of our culture is that the fact that we can agree to disagree and i'm okay |
| 0:48.9 | with people taking the opposite side of me but i I will say that I had dozens of messages, |

| 1:40.8 | Got a top 10 list. Didn't do a top 10 list on Friday, just felt that |
| 1:45.1 | that show should stand on its own because I didn't feel in a festive mood at 2 a.m. talking about |
| 1:51.5 | those things. And listen, I'm very passionate about that too because I love Mississippi State. |
| 1:56.9 | I love the state of Mississippi. And many days, that's the order in which it runs. |
| 2:02.6 | To be honest, some people say, well, Steve, you know, that's a little silly. |
