Mornings with Greg & Eli 3-27-26-hr3

Greg Gaston, Eli Savoy, and Jay Hamm open the final hour from the Family Leisure Studios. The clock reads 9:07, and the show is in its final hour for the day and the week. The weather update comes fast. It is 68 degrees and maybe 69, breezy, and cooler than yesterday, with showers possible later this morning and a thunderstorm possible this afternoon, but not an all-day rain affair. Tonight drops to 41 and turns mostly cloudy, windy, and chilly, while Saturday and Sunday look sunny and warm. The show then gets right to 10 in a row. The listener line is opened at 901-360-8255, and the game is framed as the thing that has swept the nation while Napa Cafe and Gates Lumber are named as the weekly sponsors. The pace stays brisk. A run of betting talk follows, with a 4-0 sweep, Iowa over Nebraska, Texas outright over BYU, and Texas plus points over Purdue all folded into the same confident stretch. One speaker says the recent wins have him in a real good mental space rolling into this Friday card. A joke cuts through. A story about a wife, a cheating husband, a missed attempt to cut him, and a court outcome gets a golf-clap reaction before the conversation rolls on. Vegas comes up next. The plan is to post up at New Resorts World on Saturday, check out the spas, and get a workout in, even though one speaker says he does not normally go into sports books and does not want to get recognized. The room stays familiar. There is talk about drunk callers, about the kind who show up with an immediate 'you suck,' and about how that is just part of the scene when someone is public-facing on sports picks. The confidence talk keeps going. The speaker connects a strong college and pro football winning season, the Super Bowl, and three straight winning weeks in March as the reasons he has started getting his footing back after going 11 and 18 in February. The close also runs through a ClassicArmsOfMemphis.com read about over 700 firearms in stock, used and new guns, buying and trading, and free inspections and appraisals. The closing stretch is all gratitude. Greg Gaston thanks John Barless, Joe DeLeon, and Brandon Lang for joining, then thanks the listeners for the calls and texts before handing off to Well Done Friends on Sports 56. Monday is next. The show promises a return at 7 a.m. for Eli Savoy and Jay Hamm with Greg Gaston.
