We knew Nebraska would likely have few issues beating Akron, but did you or anyone envision 68-0 being possible? How impressive was that beatdown on Saturday? Nebraska does play a game this weekend---vs. Houston Christian—but it's hard to not look ahead to Michigan…how much has your opinion about Nebraska's chances in that game changed from before the season, if at all? Nebraska had more punt return yards in the Akron game than they had the entirety of last season…was that just a bad punter for the Zips or signs of the punt return game being a factor the rest of season?  Show Sponsored by NEBCOOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The LeBron James Family Foundation School of Education Director, Dr. Gary Holliday, and the assistant director, Dr. Renee Mudrie explain it all in this episode.

Host Rich DiPaolo welcomes back John Roush, CEO of Express Wash Concepts (EWC), to discuss the company's latest strategic moves and its continued momentum in the express carwash space. Roush shares insights into EWC's recent acquisitions, including new sites in Pittsburgh, three ZIPS locations in Ohio and the Cleanland Car Wash property, detailing how each fits into EWC's broader growth blueprint. He also explores how EWC maintains brand consistency across five distinct banners while adapting to regional market nuances. As EWC gears up for 25-plus projected openings this year, Roush discusses how the company is scaling staffing, technology and internal operations to support expansion. He also highlights the company's workplace culture, which recently earned Moo Moo Express the 2025 ColumBEST Best Employer award and talks about what drives EWC's repeat recognition on INC. magazine's list of fastest-growing companies in the Midwest.

 Ready for the towing industry's biggest shows? September brings two of the year's most anticipated events, and this episode gives you the inside scoop on what makes them special. The Mid-Atlantic Expo (September 4-6) transforms the North Carolina State Fairgrounds into a hub of industry innovation with over 75 vendors and 800+ serious industry professionals. As Darian explains, "You had owners perusing up and down the aisles looking for information," making it valuable for both attendees and exhibitors. The nearby attractions and affordable vendor rates create an experience that extends beyond just business.  But when DJ discusses the 47th Annual Midwest Regional Tow Show (September 25-27), his enthusiasm reaches another level. "It's the most family-friendly show of the year," he declares, describing how the Great Wolf Lodge venue becomes home to a complete experience for towing families.
