The hosts are still celebrating Olympic hockey gold while mocking Canadian fans for their salty reactions.

Friday sounds pretty good at the start. Ward and Aaron open with sunshine, lunch-hour talk, and some victory-lap energy after men's and women's hockey medals both came down to overtime. They are still watching the highlights, and they are not pretending otherwise. The final goals, the Hellebuyck stop, and the reaction from the other side of the northern border all feed the kind of sports chatter that happens when a clip is still fun enough to run back. The tone is happy, a little needling, and loose in the way local radio can be when the hosts know the room. Then the show turns back into local radio. Lounge 93, InCommons Bank, and the Baylor women's basketball read are not throwaway filler here. They take up space and keep the break tied to Waco and Central Texas. Baylor gets its Sunday reminder, with the women closing the regular season against TCU in Fort Worth, countdown at 2:30 and tip-off at 3. The hosts handle it like calendar business for local listeners, not a national item floating past. Back in the studio, Kyle Yeomans is still not there. The reason is plain enough: he got tied up at the Combine. Ward and Aaron do not sound shocked, because that kind of place can wreck a clean radio schedule fast. One minute a guest has time, the next minute another Combine obligation wins. The clip works because it does not try to be bigger than it is. It is the Press Box in normal motion, jumping from medals to sponsor reads to Baylor to a delayed Combine hit. Game Time comes next on ESPN Central Texas, and the handoff feels like one more regular Friday in the local sports cycle.
