recording in progress hey welcome into the morning buzz i'm laurence holmes thanks so much for hanging

out we appreciate you listening whether you're checking us out on spotify or if you're

checking us out on apple or if you're on youtube for all my youtube peeps, I kind of went back to old Reliable today

with Zoom instead of Stream Yard

and we'll see if the video ends up being

at least a little bit better from an audio standpoint.

The podcast have had no problems.

By the way, if you do, if you're also someone that consumes podcast via Apple or Spotify,

you should subscribe to House of L over there too.

Give us a five-star review.

It is very, very helpful.

I will be self-indulgent today.

I will navel gaze a little bit today on the show

because I got a surprise, strangely enough,

like during the recording yesterday,

I got the text message from my guy,

Josh Nelson over at Sox Machine,

that I had been nominated for Illinois SportsCaster of the Year,

which is crazy.

Like, it's definitely one of the things for my Infinity Gauntlet that I've been working on.

And I was blown away by the fact that I was nominated for this.

Like truly, I was not expecting it.
