Yesterday’s late night grind had the whole crew working until the wee hours, so today’s show didn’t hit the

yee until two hours behind schedule.

Winnie, a creature of habit, was up with the roosters, despite the delay.

“Hope no danger comes their way.”

“Hopefully, these wolves are as chill as the ones up front.”
