Then, Ali and Beau spend some time with 92.9 The Game’s own soccer insider Madison Crews! Beau, Ali, and Madison discuss what charms Madison got on her Bank of America charm bracelet, if Madison thinks Japan can take down Brazil today in their round of 32 match, if Madison thinks Congo DR are the darlings of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, how Madison is feeling about the Congo DR vs. England match that’s happening here in Atlanta on Wednesday, the US Men’s National Team having a manageable path to the quarterfinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, what the USMNT has to do to beat Bosnia-Herzegovina in their round of 32 match on Wednesday, who US Men’s National Team fans should be rooting for to win between Belgium and Senegal, because the winner of that match will face the USMNT if the US Men’s National Team beats Bosnia-Herzegovina on Wednesday, and if Madison thinks Christian Pulisic will play the full 90 minutes against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Wednesday. Finally, The Morning Shift crew closes out hour three by spending some time with the Head Basketball Coach of the Houston Cougars and former Head Coach of Atlanta Hawks’ first round pick Kingston Flemings, Coach Kelvin Sampson! Dylan, Ali, and Beau talk to Coach Sampson about how rewarding it was for him to see Kingston Flemings, Chris Cenac Jr., and Emanuel Sharp get drafted this year, how Kingston Flemings grew as a defender under him at Houston, the type of person that Hawks fans are getting in Kingston, how he sees Kingston Flemings’ game translating in the NBA with the Hawks, how he and the school help students stay out of gambling trouble and make sure they’re well versed when it comes to their finances, and when he’s going to try and come to Atlanta to see Kingston play.
