I appreciate how many of you responded to our question on our show last night. With the NFL announcing that it will air one wild card game in mid-January exclusively on Peacock Network except well Peacock app it is the Peacock Network but it's an app or streaming service connected to NBC. It will be the only way you can watch the game other than the local market broadcast and as we used last year's game as the example in this same Saturday night window was Jacksonville and it was LA. The NFL will control which game it puts in that window of course it's trying to maximize its potential when it comes to viewership very often that Saturday night game is considered one of the least attractive. Because Saturday night is not a night on which a lot of people stay in and watch TV now there could be sports bars there could be sports books there could be other places of entertainment where the game is on but people don't. Compared to the other nights of the week people don't hunker down in the chairs by the vast majority on Saturday nights to watch TV. Even I don't do that every week though that sounds really nice some Saturdays. I gotta be honest.

It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS Sports Radio it is our home show especially right now that actually sounds really delightful. Although I do have plans this upcoming Saturday night so you know I won't be sitting in my chair doing this watching TV. Anyway we got bombarded by your responses and they really did run the gamut whether it be those of you who say of course it's only five bucks a month. I already have the Peacock app it's worth it for Premier League Soccer as well as the Olympics and some of the other sporting events that they air. But I think the driving force is how many of these streaming services do you already have so that's a major question. If you don't have any other ones well then five bucks a month is no big deal.

What's the dealio yo? But if it's your fourth or your fifth and you also pay for cable some of you draw a hard line. So that's kind of the driving force behind the thought process whether or not it's worth it. Now will NBC Universal slash Peacock end up putting more sporting events on the streaming service? Probably. NBC also has the rights to Notre Dame football. Oh could you imagine there might be a riot.

Might be a riot if that happened among Notre Dame alum. There is always the radio. Many of you responded with hey I'll just listen on the radio. Or I feel as though my influence my words they're making a difference in this world when a few people respond with I'll just catch it on NFL network a few hours later.

Boom! That's what I'm talking about. Now Dexter Henry who was here doing the updates last night asked me the smart question of whether or not it would be worth it to miss out on the conversation if you will. Don't you want to watch it when everybody else is watching it? Well first of all on a Saturday night I don't necessarily need to be watching it when everyone else is watching it because I don't work Saturday nights. However, however, when it comes to the NFL playoffs he's right you miss out on some of the social media reaction which can be entertaining as well almost like a sideshow. It's a social sideshow if you will. You can miss out on a lot of that if you aren't watching at the same time.

But I can be listening I can be following on NFL network no doubt they're flipping the place pretty quickly you can see them on Twitter as well. So I still don't think unless I can do a seven day trial which Jay's pretty sure they're not going to allow us to watch NFL on a seven day trial. Or I can sign up for the service and then cancel it pay for one month and cancel it. That's one thing I might consider. But the other option would be well friend texted me last night hey you can use my login.

Problem solved. Jay's actually considering using his ex-girlfriends to whom he does no longer speak. Why would you no have some dignity Jay. Don't use your ex-girlfriend's login when you barely speak anymore that's no have some pride please. I'm just saying that I haven't used it since but I believe it's still logged in on my accounts on my devices.

So if it's still logged in is it my fault. Yes you shouldn't that's embarrassing I'm embarrassed for you please. Are you kidding me. I would rather pay the five bucks for you than have you be using your ex-girlfriend. Stop it. Seriously where's your dignity.

It sounds like I'm like calling her and saying hey what's up good to talk to you. I need the password again. Remember that Peacock account. No it's just like still there. No why didn't you log out. I haven't used it since we used it to watch that one show Parks and Rec. Okay but why haven't you logged out. Get your phone right now and log out of the app.

I don't know. Jay that's embarrassing for you. I'm embarrassed for you. She still might use my Netflix or HBO who knows. You should change the password. Why in the world would you allow your ex-girlfriend to use your accounts. Oh I actually don't have the app on my phone.

It's on my laptop I believe on my TV. I mean seriously this is humiliating. Have a little pride. Have a little pride. If I log in I'm not going to log out.

I'm already in. I'm so embarrassed for you. No.

I said on national radio that even though it did not end well. Not true. Not true. Okay. You know it's not great but it wasn't messy. Exactly.

I didn't say that. I said even though it didn't end well. I mean it obviously didn't end well or you would still be together.

Does anything end well? I mean I don't even speak to ex-boyfriends. You're asking the wrong person. I don't have any desire to be in touch with ex-boyfriends.

But at the same time I also wouldn't use their logins and their apps. No. I'd rather pay for it myself than take one more thing from any of my ex-boyfriends. Hell to the no.

Oh I gave her plenty. The relationship has been over for how long? A little over a year. Jay. I can't look at you right now. I'm going to take that phone. Next time you bring in your laptop for some type of digital editing I'm logging out of it. Well it might be logged out. I'm not sure.

I'm just saying there's like an 80% chance it's still logged in. Okay. I mean I can't even take you seriously right now.

Can we do something else with our lives? Coming up in 30 minutes. Ask Amy anything. You don't have to ask me about ex-boyfriends because they don't exist actually. They're distant memories. I can't even remember their names.

Nor would I take their logins and their passwords. Jay. I didn't take it. It's one of those. I'm grandfathered in. It's one of those kind of things.

Ew. Okay. Well when I go through a breakup I do not keep the gifts that my exes gave me. What do you do with them? I donate them. I give them to someone else.

I regift them. No. I'm just saying.

If it's logged in and I go to check I'm not going to log out once I'm in and then buy it. I'm embarrassed for you. Don't be taking handouts from an ex-girlfriend. That's just wrong. It would be a one night thing. That's a football game.

I watched it and then maybe I'll log out after that. Men maybe. You are full of it. We're not talking about this ever again. Until you show some dignity and pride in yourself. I don't know.

I think that's a good move. No. Actually if you decide to use the password for something else. I don't know. Can you get her into some kind of trouble? Can you order a bunch of services with the password?

Can you like add premiere services? We're getting devious. Okay. Ask Amy anything. You don't have to ask me about that. It's coming up in 30 minutes.

On Twitter, After Hours, CBS, or to our Facebook page. I mean, clearly Jay and I are not not on the same page when it comes to this. Let's talk about football because he's embarrassing himself. And it is. Is it lost?

Oh my goodness it's lost. DeAndre Hopkins caught it. It's time for QB news on After Hours. Hey, did someone say Joe Burrow? Theoretically, he would be the next quarterback in line for a big contract extension now that both Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson have been paid.

But you know what? He doesn't really want to talk about that. He was meeting with the media on Tuesday. Good to hear from Joe. Good to see Joe.

And he's busy already getting prepared for 2023. You start throwing as you get closer to this time of year. So we've been throwing for a couple weeks.

And you find where you can improve and find little things every year that you think can help you win. Alright, alright, alright. We waited long enough.

What about the contract extension? Because we need to know. I'm involved. That's in the works. That's not really something that I like to play out in the media. That's something.

Damn media. That's the way I think they want to do business. I want to do business. We prefer to keep that between us.

Love that answer. That's how we want to do business in Cincinnati. That's how I want to do business as well.

Good. Also, sometimes agents don't tell their athletes or their clients until it's nearly a done deal. Until they actually have a proposal to share with them. So he does say he's involved as opposed to being on the outside and not really knowing what's happening. And he's a lot like a Patrick Mahomes in this respect.

He wants a contract extension, of course, because who doesn't? But you also know that you need pieces around you which can cost money. Whenever you have guys on the team that need to be paid, that's always on your mind. You want that to be a focal point and so we're working to make that happen. Yeah, you got to have good players.

You can't. I mean, it doesn't matter how good your quarterback is. If you don't have good players around him, you're not going to be a very good team. It means he wants to win. He knows what he has to do to win and he wants to win. He's a winning guy. He's not a quarterback that's always interested in money and all that other stuff.

He just wants to win and that's the good thing about Joe. Jamar Chase, both college and pro teammate. He and T. Higgins both there for the indoor practice.

They call it a bubble, by the way, but I think bubble has such a different connotation these days. So yeah, they were starting phase two of team workouts and it was good to see them and also to hear them. Now, Jamar Chase actually points to, hey, the fact that he doesn't want every last dollar for himself, it says something about who he is, not just as a quarterback, but also as a leader. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence, CBS Sports Radio, something I never knew about Joe Burrow. Apparently, he's a big fan of USC and Chase backs him up. I guess he practices in the locker room. From football and basketball and all, I guess I haven't been to a basketball game in a while, but you know, you're right up close to the action and it's life or death in there. So it's, you know, it's a different vibe for sure.

It's a lot of fun to go to. Like UFC punches, fly kicks and punches. You don't watch UFC? Yeah, he does this. This is normal. He does that to everybody. You don't see this in the locker room? Yeah. He kicks on me sometimes, like he do it all the time. This I would love to see.

Maybe the subject of hard knocks. Joe Burrow practicing his UFC moves, his fly kicks on Jamar Chase. I guess I put the wrong one on. Remember when he showed up to a press conference last year with the wrong jersey? Didn't even realize it.

Now people thought it was a stunt, but I actually love that his reaction was so genuine. Alright, sticking in the AFC for a hot second. Tennessee has got another rookie quarterback. So last year it was Malik Willis.

Now it's Will Levis. Traylon Burks, what about the new guy? Actually, I've never met him until when they got here Monday.

Well, yesterday. But he seems like a great kid. He can throw the ball. You can tell that he's in tune with what the coaches are trying to teach him.

He can just keep getting better and better. Wide receiver Traylon Burks get to know the third string quarterback, at least for now, Will Levis. And Malik Willis is still listed as the number two guy on the Titans depth chart. Speaking of competition, I don't actually know that Tennessee is a competition. I feel like Ryan Tannehill pretty much has got that one sewn up unless Will Levis goes in there like a house on fire. There is a competition in the NFC South with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Todd Bowles, yes, he's still the head coach. Now remember, we had just heard from the OC in Tampa that it is actually going to be a legit competition between Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask. And Todd Bowles confirms that on the Rich Eisen Show Tuesday.

Yes, it is a competition. I mean, we don't have a starter right now. We know Baker's played in games and Trask has not. But we've watched Trask over the years and we like some of the things he does. And we're going to give him a chance to play and compete and see who comes out. And you know, we told Baker this coming in. It's not anything new that he doesn't know. He's up for the challenge.

I think those two work and help make each other better. So we'll make that decision when the time is right. But Todd Bowles actually says we don't have a starting quarterback right now.

We don't have one. Although to be fair, Baker is listed. At least if you check out depth charts online, Baker is listed as QB one. So seriously, is it actually possible that Kyle Trask could start the season opener for Tampa? He beats him out. He's the star. Todd Bowles, so matter of fact, if you're wondering, the Rays, big Rays.

Oh my gosh, I knew I was going to do that. Not the Tampa Bay Rays. They're already in season. The Bucks kick off the season at the Vikings. So on the road in Minnesota, US Bank Stadium, and that's Sunday, September 10th. It's after hours here on CBS Sports Radio.

Just throwing the dates out there gives me a little bit of a thrill. Well, I mentioned Minnesota. I think the NFC North, where the Vikings reside, is a wide open division. Green Bay did not win that title last year, and you had the Vikings spit the bit in the playoffs. We know the Lions came on strong. The Bears, there's a lot of optimism around them because of what they did in the draft. Packers, they've got Adam Stedovich as their offensive coordinator, and he's full speed ahead with Jordan Love.

Playbook standpoint, I think pretty much all of it's on the table. He's been around for three years, like you said, and really attacked it even last year. You could see him coming to his own, felt a lot more comfortable.

I thought this was an interesting revelation from Stedovich. Considering what Brock Purney did last year with the Niners, now he was the third string quarterback, he took over after the first two got hurt, and what happened? The offense really flourished around him because he didn't try to do too much. He relied on his playmakers. Stedovich says with Jordan Love, they're going to have a similar approach to what the Niners did with Brock Purney.

Brock came in and had a lot of success last year. Anytime you have a young quarterback come in, you're looking at, okay, what are the schemes, what are the different route concepts, what are the different things that you can do to kind of simplify things, make reads a little easier, whatever it may be. And while Jordan Love isn't a first year guy, and he certainly has spent time in the system, as Adam points out, this will be his first time getting all the reps. This is when he has to get accustomed to the speed. He has to get accustomed to being the man in the arena.

So it's going to be fascinating. Certainly the fact that he's not a rookie should help. He's been through a lot of practices. He knows the personnel. He knows his receivers and the guys on the line. That gives him an edge. And yes, Stedovich is there talking about a guy who was a young quarterback, a rookie, last season in terms of comparison. But at least they will say this publicly, they'll say this outwardly, to a man in Green Bay. They all believe Jordan Love is ready. I think his handle, just his ability to translate the meetings to the field and his ability to kind of just see the game from a quarterback perspective where he's not processing too fast.

He's processing within the time of the play. There's so many intriguing story lines already. And it's mid-spring. But that's the NFL. Are there any more big events on the NFL calendar before we actually get to mandatory OTAs?

Which of course will require every single player, every single coach, every single GM to be available yet again. Do we have more owners meetings? Probably.

We probably do. I'll bet those are coming up sometime in the next three weeks. You know there's going to be some sort of golf event scheduled where Mahomes and Allen team up against Rogers and whatever. Actually, I think there is another one coming up. Isn't there? A charity golf? Is there?

There might be. It would be the match four or the match five. Oh, they're still doing the match?

I don't know. You're the one that mentioned golf tournament. But that's charity though. I'm saying actual NFL events that are scheduled. I'm going to go with mandatory OTAs as well as another round of league meetings. That's where I'm going with it. I think that's how the NFL will stay relevant.

How about this? We don't have the rules changes approved for 2023 yet, which means the competition committee still has to get together. The owners have to vote. The sale of the commanders is pending. I'm telling you there's a lot more to happen.

May 22nd through 24th there's a scheduled spring league meeting. See what I mean? They can't take a break.

They refuse. How much do you hate to be those coaches and you think I've got work to do and you make me show up at these things over and over again. Alright, you are ten minutes away from being cut off. Like you're at a baseball game and there's a pitch clock and that time is coming. It's coming quickly. Send your questions to our show Twitter after hours CBS or to our Facebook page. Ask Amy Anything is now on the horizon straight ahead. There's going to be a major void in our football coverage next fall.

We lament to tell you through no fault of our own things will drastically change. I'll explain coming up. It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS Sports Radio. You are listening to the After Hours Podcast. Nobody wants to be the bad guy in the situation and honestly there isn't at this point a bad guy in the situation. As long as everything gets resolved the right way they want to move on and and now I want to play and so that would obviously be moving on as well.

This is After Hours with Amy Lawrence. Did someone say moving on? Well that's appropriate. Considering the fact that we will have to move on to greener pastures. At least we hope they're greener. Sometimes the grass isn't greener on the other side but we don't have a choice. Coming up this fall we will no longer have weekly radio appearances from Aaron Rodgers to share with you.

How could you possibly say that? Because The Pat McAfee Show which catapulted to superstardom in large part because of Aaron's weekly appearances not to mention his scintillating dialogue he uses The Pat McAfee Show as the way to get his side of the story out there. He knows it's a safe space.

And so when he wanted to announce his decision when he wanted to talk about the darkness retreat when he wanted to defend himself over his immunization as opposed to his vaccination This is his platform because he knows he's not going to get pushed back there. I mean it's a former teammate of his that's along with McAfee and they get it. And they made a lot of money. And Aaron deserves some of the credit.

Though probably isn't taking money to do it. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence CBS Sports Radio. Aaron may or may not be part of The Pat McAfee Show when it makes its big move to network TV.

My former network. We will not I underscore not be using the audio coming up next fall from The Pat McAfee Show. It's just not going to happen man. It's definitely not going to happen man. For a bunch of reasons but primarily because it's on a competing network and we generally I would say 98% of the time do not share audio.

With this with my previous network. So too bad so sad I guess now we'll only get Aaron Rodgers in the Jets pre-game and post-game and weekly multi-weekly press conferences. I suppose. It really is.

It's totally fine. We're going to have to settle for only Aaron Rodgers say two or three times a week and not on his Tuesday appearances if it's still Tuesday. I have no idea. Things could change.

On The Pat McAfee Show. So it's fun while it lasted. I actually feel a great relief. Now I don't have to listen to it.

Stop talking about me. How many other podcasts. Actually we're replacing Aaron on McAfee with New Heights. Travis and Jason Kelsey.

They're actually I think the new hip sports podcast on the planet. Who the fuck is that guy? Well his name's Aaron Rodgers.

But he's going to Competing Network. Mayor jabroni. That's right. He's a jabroni. That's what he is.

And actually it's not his fault. I have wondered this Jay. Whether or not Aaron may bulk at McAfee's new home because we know what he said to say Adam Schefter. Right? Didn't he send Adam Schefter a DM about losing my number? I don't have your number. You're not going to have my number.

Right. But then later Later when it was Schefter who was reaching out to him didn't he tell Schefter to lose his number? I'm pretty sure that happened. He was so ticked off that he told NFL insider Adam Schefter to lose my number. Because Schefter put those posts up on Twitter. He said, well I'm just going to double down and share the text on Twitter. So he might be a little hesitant to go on and reveal anything here. I'm not sure whether or not he will go with McAfee to his new home. But I do know that we will be devoid of Tuesdays with Aaron Rodgers moving forward.

That we're not. It's a little bit like producer Jay using his ex-girlfriend's password. Nope. I left there for a reason. On principle I will not be using the audio from my former network.

From my ex-network if you will. On principle. Also because we do have access to Aaron Rodgers in many other ways. And because the Jets will be on national TV ten times in the upcoming season.

I didn't say I'm going to my darkness retreat just to figure out if I'm going to play next year or retire. Right? So then that narrative got out there.

So how many f***ing narratives can come from one like show? Well I don't know. Because we're not going to be using that as material for ours anymore. You are so mad. Are we going to be left out? Do you feel like do you feel as though we're going to be left out Jay? Are you going to feel left out because we don't have it every Tuesday? A little.

Are you? I do look forward to Aaron and his. You know he was so salty.

He was so snarky. I feel like he's in a better place now and he might not be as good of a soundbite anyway. But you know he's Aaron so we'll get him from his press conferences. And I'm sure the New York media will bust his chops a ton so. I think that he will have them eating out of his hand before long actually. Especially if the Jets are winning.

So yeah we're going to have to settle for access to Rogers two or three times a week. It's fine. It's totally fine. And it's fine.

It really is. It's totally fine. Alright last couple minutes to send your questions for Ask Amy anything Twitter Facebook. For your generosity blah blah blah. You are listening to the After Hours podcast.

This is After Hours with Amy Lawrence. Time to ask Amy anything. Sort of. Before you even ask me the peonies are opening this week. I can't stop taking pictures of my pink peonies. The very first one started to open on Tuesday. So I had taken photos in the morning they were still really really big buds not actual blooms. And then by the time I came out in the afternoon a few of them had started to open. And we have no rain in the forecast until Saturday. Remember last year they were destroyed by a rainstorm like a hail and rainstorm right after they opened. So I'm praying for some good weather for a few well two weeks tops and then they're gone. But they're beautiful. Maybe I'll post some photos as they start to open.

It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS Sports Radio. The peonies also represent my anniversary of buying the house. It'll be three years next week.

Three years next week. Producer Jay what else you got for me? Well I wanted to start somewhere else but you just led me into a different direction so I think we'll start there. Karen wants to know what are some of your favorite things about your house or home? Oh definitely the flowers. There's a different flower that blooms in the beds or in the garden in the backyard. From February to November there's a different flower that blooms every month and sometimes more than one. The crocus is starting February then it's the daffodils then it's the tulips. The lavender is blooming right now.

The peonies are about to open. The rose trellis it's getting covered by rose bush. The hydrangeas are starting to fill out. The lily beds are full.

It goes on and on until the daisy bush that blooms in October and November so that's one of my favorite things. But I also love the fact that the house is older. It was built in 1951 and it's had some upgrades. The kitchen is relatively new but I do like the fact that it's got some character to it.

It doesn't look like a cookie cutter. Also it's on a postage stamp lawn which is about the most I can take care of. I love that it's up on top of a hill so it's away from the highway on top of a hill and Penny and I have a flat space where she can walk. And then also love the fact that it's in a really quiet part of my neighborhood.

So at night and actually first thing in the morning there's hardly anybody out. It's great. I really love love love my neighborhood. I'm so grateful for it. And to be able to own this house which is as much as I can possibly handle on my own I couldn't do anything else. It's a good challenge for me.

It keeps me busy but also is it's just such a source of pride for me. I love that I saw a photo of the peonies and they are coming in lovely. They are.

They're starting to open up. Alright. So a lot of talk about Peacock and why people use it. People have cited the Olympics as a main reason. Alan asks, what Olympic event would you have the best chance at winning a gold medal in? Winter or summer?

Wow that's a good question. What Olympic event would I have the best chance of winning a gold medal in? Huh. Well definitely not downhill skiing because I look like a I get a little uncoordinated when it comes to skiing. I've done some skiing but I'm going to go with basketball because it's a team sport. I prefer a team sport. I would think that curling would be another one if I actually started practicing because I'm pretty good at that type of you know throwing a ball and hitting a target or rolling a ball up to a target. It's a little bit like the nice version of of bocce ball right? So yeah I kind of think if I could do curling but I'm into the team sport.

So basketball because that's the game I played in college. I would go there. Now Luna asks did Bob and his family enjoy the cookies that you sent them for Mother's Day? According to Bob. Now I suppose he could be lying but I don't think so. His mom sent me a text saying how much she loved the cookies and that I could bake for them anytime.

I didn't know that he had given his mom my number so now mom and I have texted a few times which is nice. He said that on Mother's Day when there was a full house the cookies and the chewy bars rapidly disappeared and that a bunch of people went home taking the last of what was remaining. He actually loves the island cookies. So the oatmeal butterscotch were the ones that he said were his favorites but now that he's had the island cookies he's all about them. So his birthday is in a couple weeks so I'll have to decide what to make for him. I'm going to take a coconut cream pie for when we get together because it's get this, weird thing we share it's our favorite pie. Coconut cream, mine and his.

But I also need to make him something for his birthday. Have you made him the chocolate fudge brownie cookies? The double chocolate fudge brownie cookies?

I have not. Should I make those? Those were for your birthday though. Those might be my favorite cookie I've ever eaten in my entire life. Alright, I'll try that. Good morning Bob. I will try making him double chocolate fudge brownie cookies and see if those compare to the oatmeal butterscotch or the island cookies that he's now a huge fan of. I think they would be right there. Okay.

Alright, I'll try it. Sean asks, when you were growing up did you ever have a job that you just didn't like and you think that that experience led you to this job or where you are now? Oh no, I've known that I wanted to do sports radio since I was 16. But I obviously couldn't work in sports radio when I was 16. So I had various cleaning jobs when I was younger. My first job at 12 years old was to clean a beauty salon on Saturday afternoons once the man had closed it.

He was a member of our church. My mom would drive me there, drop me off. I had to lock myself inside. I would clean for two hours and she would come back to get me. But when I was in college, I was home for one summer I guess it was. I had a cleaning job at a lady's house.

Oh no, hated it. I had to do her ironing. Her ironing, her dusting and her vacuuming.

Three things, well I don't mind vacuuming but I don't iron or dust at my house and I had to do it at her house. It was the worst. The ironing specifically, every Saturday I had to go to her house and iron and dust. And I dreaded it every single week. It's, it, ugh. No, I hated it. Especially someone else's dust and yeah, well it was relatively clean every week because I was dusting every week.

But yeah, the ironing, that was the worst. Alright, this one comes from Tim. He says, I'm taking my son to his first baseball game this year, I guess relatively soon. And he says, I'm also going on a hot air balloon ride.

Whoa! So he asks, is there anything on your summer bucket list that you want to get done this summer? My summer bucket list. Well, I still do have hopes of potentially climbing Mount Washington, meaning hiking it. I've driven it a bazillion times as a New Hampshire native.

So yeah, there's still some hope. There's a friend who's really interested, plus my college roommate who lives in Maine. We're trying to come up with a weekend when we might be able to hike Mount Washington.

But here's an incredible item on my bucket list that will get checked off in early August. I am going to see John Williams, my favorite composer, lead the Boston Pops. I think it's the Boston Pops, at their summer home Tanglewood. And they're doing a tribute concert to him and his music, but he will be there conducting.

How about that? John Williams. I'm going with some friends. I'm meeting some friends there who are sitting on the lawn. I actually bought a solo ticket to be underneath inside the venue. It's one of those outdoor venues where they do have covered seating.

I bought a ticket to get as close as possible, and then I'll join my friends at some point. But I cannot wait to see John Williams actually conduct a symphony orchestra himself, himself with his own music. I mean, you've got to think how many realistically more opportunities are there going to be to see that. Not many. Exactly. I cannot wait.

This is early August. I cannot wait. Tanglewood, Massachusetts. This one ties in kind of nicely. Mike wants to know, what's your favorite historical, or what's your favorite historical record-breaking moment in sports history? In sports history.

Oh, gosh. Record-breaking moment in sports history. I feel like I've seen so many, and we've watched so many of these moments. I'm not allowed to say Barry Bonds, right? That's a loud record-breaking moment. I'm really not allowed to say Barry Bonds. Maybe Steph Curry is setting the all-time three-pointer record, just because he's, I feel like he's brought some new life and infused some new life into basketball, and the Warriors remind me why I fell in love with basketball in the first place. So yeah, I'll say Steph Curry capturing the all-time three-point shooting, well, three-point shooting mark, meaning most three-pointers made.

That was a couple years ago, right? Yeah, that's a good one. Okay, I'll say that one.

Alright, here's another one from another moment. Another guy named Mike, he asks, if you had to keep doing radio, but couldn't talk about sports anymore, what's something else you would like to discuss? Animals, of course. Food, cooking, of course. In general, just the basic challenges that we face as humans, right? So how many times have I told you stories about traffic, or about lawn care, or about, you know, different travel issues? Travel would be another great one, so I would love to do that.

I could talk animals, I could talk food and cooking, and I could talk travel, and I'd be like a pig in slop. Happy, happy, joy, joy. This one's from Therese, she asks, while eating at a restaurant, you are served the wrong meal. Now, the one you're served is equally as good as the one you would have ordered, but it's not what you ordered. Do you send it back, or do you eat the one that you're given?

Do they cost the same? Let's say the one you're given is more. Mmm. I probably eat some of it, because it's good, but then when the waiter or waitress comes by, I indicate that it's not actually my meal, and I need my other one. So I'll eat some of it, I'll sample it since it's sitting there.

They're obviously gonna throw it away, right? They're not gonna give it to someone else, or put it on a different plate, so I might as well eat some of it, but then I want my own meal. Last one before rapid fire, David asks, what's your favorite donut variety? Oh my gosh, I love donuts. I really do like the Krispy Kreme, the actual Krispy Kreme, the glazed, with the warm, it's supposed to be warm cream in the middle, so I love that. Big fan of chocolate glazed donuts as well, and I also really like pumpkin donuts, I can't help it. Pumpkin, apple cider donuts, the fall versions, those are delicious too. Very good.

Alright, rapid fire. Waffles or pancakes? Pancakes with pure New Hampshire maple syrup. Pizza or pasta? Oh gosh, uh, I eat more pasta, I love pasta, but I mean, who doesn't love pizza, but Chip or Dale? What? The chipmunk.

Oh, okay, uh, Chip. Bunk bed or water bed? Bunk bed. Painting or drawing?

Painting. Captain America or The Flash? Neither. Neither?

I'm not a fan. Neither. Gotta pick one. The Flash. Indiana Jones or Han Solo? Oh god, it's not fair!

But I do love Indiana Jones, I can't wait for the new one. Markers or crayons? Markers. That's fun. It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence, CBS Sports Radio.
