We started with four guests in year one; we went to three last year. We tried to have three this past season, and we’ve had some late cancellations; we’ve only had two guests, so it’s given more time for Eli to make fun of me. It’s certainly given us maybe a little more time to talk some football, so maybe that’s something we’ve kind of stumbled on to. But it’s been fun.”
