In case we missed it coming up in just about 15 minutes time Nick Wilson, Jonathan Peter and we do have the Browns preview show coming up at seven. Grant Delphit Brown safety. Nice. Love Grant Delphit. Yeah, that'll be always a great interview too. So make sure to stay tuned to that and of course, TNF. It's a Wednesday. We don't have it. It's not like Wednesday night football. That would be ridiculous. We're getting there. We're making a freaking way out. You want to rail against that, don't you? Not really. Just I just I don't know what to do today at the amount of people that are like, why are we playing on a Wednesday? You got football back. Get us together people. We needed Wednesday football more than we need an air to breathe right now. Okay. Okay. I don't know. It's such a football drought. I don't care that it happened on a Wednesday. You do this in week eight. Maybe I got an issue with what's going on. Never ever an issue was starting the season earlier. This took way too long. They're literally going to do it the day before Thanksgiving. I'm good with that. No, I'm good with that. No, I'm good with that. No, I'm sorry. I I don't want every day of the week. What do I care? I'm going to watch it anyway. It's

something nice to watch as I'm, you know, when I get home, I'm thrilled with it. Give me as much as much and as often as you want. Everyone complains about if we get to 20 regular season games, it's going to dilute the product. And I say, nay, nay, having a game every day of the week, that will dilute the product. You still get your Friday. You still get your Tuesday. You still get your Saturday. Yeah. No, because at points, we have Saturday games late in winter. We also have we get Saturday games. The only thing we don't have is a Tuesday or Friday game, give the NFL five years. They'll figure it out. Oh, Friday because the laws is going to be really hard to do. The Tuesday game, Tuesday, billion dollar corporations have never changed laws on a win. Tuesday is coming. We have there's high school ramifications. There's also things that are in fact. You get out, give so rats ass about high school ramifications. You think he hasn't already tried to go ahead and get Friday games. Oh, I don't reason why they do the Friday game that they're able to right now and put it at three o'clock. They'd much rather put it at seven. There was so easy to get around this stuff. They'd already have it at seven. No, it just takes time and money and they have both of those things to the NFL. Yeah, they've been trying.

They've been trying for years to get that done. That one, I don't know that that's ever going to happen. I really, I truthfully don't you, you underestimate no, because they've been trying. They've been trying really hard for a long time. And you notice they haven't stopped. They haven't gotten it done. Yeah. Much like the one by regular season because of college football and high school football that one might actually be a real one. What I love about you is that you think anything sacred in America. It's not that sacred. I just think that so you just think that they've unlimited power and unlimited money and it's going to be able to pull it off because you see all sorts of examples of that being the case in America. Literally. But they've been trying. You're actually like they like haven't even given it a a hardy try yet. They've been trying for a decade plus to get Friday night football going. Again, there's a reason why their games are already at three o'clock on Friday. Does that have to adhere to that law? Let me ask you as just throwing money at it and then throwing around their power. Then it would have already been done. And let me ask you 20 years ago, did we have football games on Fridays? No. Okay. So we've made headway. Is that what I'm understanding? We've made all that money, all that power, all that influence has made a headway on Fridays already. You got a

three o'clock game that is you could have done 20 years ago if you wanted to. That's that's adding games within the within the construct of the wall. And you can flip from three to seven pretty quick. No, you can't. That's where the wall comes in. That's where this problem is coming. I love the way you're thinking. That's where this problem is a job. There's a reason why they had to put it at three o'clock. Do you think they write Friday at three o'clock? You think that was a great game for them? Yeah. They were much rather preferred seven o'clock. The wall says they can't right now. So they can't at right now. Operative terms. Right now. They've been fighting for a long time to get ready to get this turn. But that's why I'm so blown away. I'm being right now. Like, oh, do you all just sell this isn't a honey moment for you? So so night. It's just like a hard at moment. No, they've been trying really damn hard for a long time to play Friday night football. They've not been able to circumvent that. It's like when some of like the 25 year old guys we have working here when like a pretty girl walks by and they go, oh boy. Yeah. Oh, she's a lady. That's what you are right now for the NFL and Friday night football. If they have the power and the money that you suggest that they have, they would have had the ball already changed. They don't have a change for a reason. They've been trying

15 years. Yeah. And that is that is a pittance of time in the in the grand cost most of the time. The pittance of time. That's the whole time. Good. That was been in trial. It took us about the 25 years of constant push to get weed legalized and it's not legalized. So much power and so much money took 20 years to get anything done. Yes. Yes. That is. Yes. Yes. Yes. And declining morals while I'm at it. Let me get on my soap box and declining morals and these phony baloney politicians. That felt good. He's really good. He politics. Yeah. They're phony and baloney. I'm gonna say it and it rhymes too. Yeah. Are you gonna tell me politicians aren't phony baloney there? Not making that defense. Okay. I didn't know how polygons are gonna get over there. I'm making that defense. Uh, speaking of things that make people nauseous, uh, Kirk Herb Streets dog. Peter has a merch store. Now it's a pop-up store. So it's going to be following the college game day crew, but currently it's it rests upon baton Rouge. Now, the nice side of this, a percentage of sales will support local veterinary

schools. We don't know what that percentage and or it's with about 2%. I had actually another 5% is going towards getting NFL football on Fridays at seven o'clock. Uh-huh. And or dog-focused organizations, which by the way, dog-focused organizations, you could really get liberal with the language of that. Yeah. I need I need more direct. I need more like this is going to the I, you know, you know, the, the problem I have when it comes to certain charities. Yeah. Certain charities that they act as if they're like they're doing the greater good, but the reality is that so much of the money is just going to the CEO. So they're not nearly as much as this is right. There we go. Not nearly as much towards the actual, you know, problem that you're trying to fight. The reaction to this. Um, I live in a world where there's a lot of stuff I don't like and most of the time, I might mutter something under my breath, maybe send like a really snarky tweet about it, but most of the time, I just keep going about living my life. Yeah. People cannot do that with Kirk Herb Street's

dog. I don't know what this dog did to people. I don't know what Herbie did to people other than predict and call college football and NFL games, but the insidious relationship that social media has with Kirk Herb Street's dog. Guys, if you don't like this, don't shop at it and it'll go away. That's how this one kind of works. I think I have more of a problem than people that shop at the dog store. The dog store existing or buy a photo of Kirk Herb Street's dog and walk around with that. I actually like the over you are all with a cute puppy. Actually, that's not mine. That's Kirk Herb Street's dog. Who's Kirk Herb Street's dog? He's an ounce or I really like it. It doesn't like college football games. So why do you have his dogs face on your shirt right now? Why? I just think it's fine. Actually, I think you're being very dismissive of the dog. I think what they would say is that's Peter Herb Street and that who I'm like, Oh, Peter Herb Street. He's a big star. He's a nationally televised star in the sports world. Have you ever given your dog or at least ever introduced your dog is like Mungo Wilson and done the last name with it. It's

insane. No, no, it's insane. And not just that, but I am. It's a booney tunes behavior. I am vehemently opposed. It dogs having human first names. My cousin, my uncle had a dog, bass at Hound, a Hound dog called Mike. Yeah. And I just remember thinking like that's that's my uncle was a 40 year old mechanic with cancer named Mike. That's what Mike goes to. Not a dog. Not a beagle. That's what it was. It was a damn big. No, I agree. I always felt like dog names should be more comical than anything. And that's where you get to name it. I always named it after baseball players I liked and little things like that. That's where that falls in play. Yeah, but hey, a Margaret, get over here. Margaret, like that just like you can't even have fun with your dog names. I got to I got to imagine the people who just oh, it's only named their dogs. Human names. They couldn't think of anything else. The least fun planet. Like you could take

them to Amsterdam to any of those different places that they have. And they would be like, you guys got a dog museum around here. You guys, anybody got any cool pennies? That's what they sound like. Yeah. And dog museum and cool pennies. Yeah. Yeah. Lane. Are you talking about like the little, like they're literally be I put like the little, like, stamp it down. Sex show going on. They're like, oh boy, look at this new app I have on my, my phone there. What kind of app is it? I don't know. It might be a good app. Tells me the weather, but in Russia. Oh, I got a call. Darryl. Okay. Darryl would be a ridiculous dog name. You know, there are a lot of people with first name. Oh, it's just pissed right now. Whatever. Basically, it's probably a lima. It's probably like half the listening audience. The first dog in the day is gunning for your boy right now. Suzy or something. They're a little with it. Now, Suzy is kind of funny. Yeah. Suzy funny because Suzan would be

ridiculous. Okay. Okay. See? I pick up one button down. And Casey messed in five minutes on 92-3. The fan.
