In the First Hour of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, the guys welcome back A.I. Ty AKA Kumi-Ty from his 6-week excursion. They discuss the Avs’ Western Conference Finals matchup as they debate the benefits of rest versus rust. Stoke missed out on the Broncos schedule reaction on Friday so he gets his chance to give his take on the tough 6-weeks to open the football season. Mike and Stoke try to get a read on the Avs’ opponent in the Western Conference Finals: the Vegas Golden Knights. Aaron Rodgers is back in Pittsburgh, how does that affect their matchup with the Broncos later in the season? Mike gets Stoke’s status for tomorrow’s show before they wrap up the first hour trying to decode a bunch of Gen Z slang.
