In hour three of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, they bounce around topics like Mike’s (fake) illustrious tennis career, a new job opportunity for Stink, and how much money PFM made Stoke. They revel in the schadenfreude of seeing a top player reject the Dallas Stars. They brace themselves for no big news for the Avs or the Nuggets. They open a mystery box from a dedicated listener. The guys wrap up the third hour with a bad look for CSU.
