**Kelley Bydlon** (0:20)
You think you could do it?

**Gill Alexander** (0:21)
Probably not, probably not as quickly.

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:24)
Definitely not, definitely not as quickly and smoothly.

**Gill Alexander** (0:26)
Well, thank you very little.
Gill Alexander, that's Kelley Bydlon. Hour number three today, unscripted with the Crack Man, Bill Crackenburger in studio as per usual. Guess who's on the show tomorrow? Kelley's not going to be here tomorrow, by the way. We should probably say that.

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:41)
Yeah, will not be.

**Gill Alexander** (0:42)
Where are you starting your vacation early?

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:43)
Vacation.

**Gill Alexander** (0:44)
Where are you going?

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:45)
To Nashville, Tennessee early tomorrow morning.

**Gill Alexander** (0:47)
Nash Vegas.

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:48)
I actually got to get up earlier tomorrow morning to get to the airport than I do usually for the show.

**Gill Alexander** (0:53)
What time's your flight?

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:54)
It's like 6.15 or something.

**Gill Alexander** (0:55)
I think you'll be okay. But yeah, you don't have to be your usual jovial self.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:00)
That's true. That's true.

**Gill Alexander** (1:01)
Yeah, you could just be quiet.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:03)
I did have that one.
Just let it happen. I did have that random thought this morning. I was like, all right, what do I got to do today to like get ready for tomorrow? I'm like, do I really have to get up earlier tomorrow? Like what? I screwed up vacations.

**Gill Alexander** (1:15)
Direct flight. Yes.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:16)
Direct flight.

**Gill Alexander** (1:16)
Yeah. Nice. Why are you going to Nash Vegas?

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:18)
Just annual guys trip. We always just pick a party town that most of us haven't been to. What a great town.

**Gill Alexander** (1:24)
Great.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:25)
So I kept all I keep hearing.

**Gill Alexander** (1:26)
You're going to say hi to Dave Ross when you're there. Oh, I shouldn't have said that.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:29)
I did text Dave like a month ago that I was coming out there and then I hadn't followed up.

**Gill Alexander** (1:33)
Dave, I think he's going to snub you.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:34)
I like it, Dave. You're like anything. We're just going to be drinking the whole time and eating.

**Gill Alexander** (1:37)
So Kelly's not going to be here. So I said to myself, I was like, self, how can we replace the great personality that is Kelly Bydlon? Well, tomorrow, not only Fezzic Fridays, but you know who is making his triumphant return to the Vsyn airwaves and will be sitting next to me for at least three segments tomorrow?

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:54)
Who you got?

**Gill Alexander** (1:55)
My mishpucha, Chrissy Andrews.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:57)
Love it, absolutely love it.

**Gill Alexander** (1:58)
Chrissy Andrews, who has a new book.
Remember he had, he started with Then One Day, which is just, was basically like our story times on the Beating the Book podcast, put into print, he could flesh them out more, just hilarious stories. The next book he had was called Then One Year, which was intended to be something else, but COVID hit, so it became this really interesting journal of every day from a bookmaker perspective during COVID. And if you read that book, you'll go, Oh my God, I forgot that happened. Oh my God, I can't believe that. Right. So there's that book. Then he did a novel, which was great. And then he's coming back with this book, which is called Then One Life. So he's gone from Then One Day to Then One Year, now to Then One Life. So Chrissy, you'll be here to talk about it tomorrow in studio.

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:46)
I got a signed copy in my bag right now.

**Gill Alexander** (2:47)
Yeah, man.

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:48)
He saw Chrissy a couple of times over at BetBash. It was great.

**Gill Alexander** (2:51)
Yeah, he's a bench. He'll be here. And there's a chapter of the book about VSiN.
It's a whole thing. It's fantastic. So we look forward to that as well.

**Jeff Erickson** (3:03)
I'll be great.

**Gill Alexander** (3:04)
Oh, and oh, you think that so Fezik, Chris Anderson, I have to separate those two, by the way. Something else on tomorrow's show.
