The Group Chat Episode 37: Combine Impressions (Feat. Joey Mulinaro)

we don't know about bruised. We haven't confirmed any any bruises or anything like that. It was really concerned about his calves fitting into the ski boots, so we hope that worked for him. But it has been a reductive NFL Combine for us here in Indianapolis. We've gotten a lot of, uh, just good things from either experts or listening to the prospects. I always enjoyed this time, really just for the stories that come out of the combine. There's always a few good that stick out from the rest.

What's so far has been your favorite NFL Combine story. It's a good question, I think, and I know you tweeted this in response to the quote I put out from from him, but, um, javon Kin lost story really yeah. I don't know if I would say it's a combine story. It's just it's just his story and many of us have heard it at this point, but he kind of

told it again at least part of it. I mean, the guy homeless just such a really difficult upbringing, and I just thought, it's every time he talks about it,

it's just fascinating. And so to hear him talk about being eleven years old by himself on a Greyhound bus from DC to South Carolina and just all of the how fast he had to grow up really um, and he mentioned he was I didn't go to junior college to then be like, Okay, now I'm gonna, you know, prove it here and I'm gonna go to SEC school and then from there I'm gonna make it to the league. He was like, I just went to junior college because it was a place where I could sleep and I

was gonna have food regularly. And it kind of puts a lot in perspective. Um, obviously that these guys here chasing an NFL dream. He was just looking for some stability in his life. So um, everyone's rooting for him. I'm really excited to see just kind of where he ends up, and we'll be curious to follow him wherever. That is, just because of all he's kind of had

to overcome just to get this far. Yeah, he's definitely my favorite story to come out of the combine, to of just getting to know these kids, because you know, he even made a comment that he understands why people are asking the questions about it. But I thought at the podium it was interesting to see him say it's not a remarkable story. He kind of, you know, leaned in. He was like, this is not I get why you're asking, but it's not a remarkable story. It's it's my story

and it's been my reality. But no one really started to pay attention until the Senior Bowl, which is when the NFL starts to get to know these prospects. And so that's just really what this week it continues to do. We hear the scouts and everyone say at all the time. This week at the NFL Combine is just another step in this big picture of who these players are, and it has been really cool to see um some of

these stories come out. Kin Law, he's a South Carolina gamecock. Um, so those of you listening in the Carolinas, he's definitely one that we have seen for a couple of years and it's crazy that. I mean, he's even been linked in a couple of mock drafts of of potentially coming to Carolina or staying in the Carolina. So, um, I think that's definitely one of my favorite favorite stories. But another favorite story is actually happening later on the podcast.

Um there's always random things that happened either in media row or you'll see something on Twitter. A good thing that came out on Twitter earlier today is apparently they ran out of diet pepsi in the media workroom. This was a big deal for some writers that were up there. Um, I believe some tensions were high and some words were exchanged over diet pepsi. Needing the diet pepsi. Apparently they were coming at it, they were coming at five, but

that didn't help them right now. They needed it right now. So all of those even stories that come out of this crazy week of the entire INNFL taking over Indianapolis. But my favorite, all time favorite is coming later on the show because there were so many celebrities here. I mean so many Nick Saban. I don't know if you've seen that Nick Sabans here at coach Oh no, you're

excited about that. Matt coach O. Uh, Colin Cowhard, he even came out and we we talked to every single one of Andrew Luckyn and Andrew never does media like this. Andrew Lucky even stopped by um. So stick around because that is coming later on in the podcast. But today it was defensive line and linebackers at defensive front seven up at the podium. I mean, some interesting stuff from some Baylor kids. We were able to hear from a couple of Yoda quotes. So from today, Max, what was

what was the most intriguing thing you heard at the podium? Well, James Lynch, the defensive lineman from Baylor, and Clay Johnston, the linebacker from Baylor, both available, and they were surrounded by folks from Charlotte who were asking about a couple of coaches. Um, So we kind of had to warn them. We were like, hey, yeah, we're from Charlotte, so we're about to ask you a bunch of questions about Matt Rule and Phil snow Um. And they were really good

sports about it. I mean, their praise for these coaches was just effusive. Um, I mean and talking about how much they love these guys. I mean it's not just like, yeah, these these guys are really good coaches. I learned a lot. It was like, No, I loved my time with coach Snow, and UM, I really do think that that's kind of the That's what Matt Rules trying is going to try to do in Carolina. It is a family type environment with his coaching staff. There's a lot of really tight

bonds and that extends to his players. Um. You can you can tell just the connection that was formed. And I think the players believe that's a big reason why they had success was because everyone was a lot more selfless. They all sort of bought in and we're playing for each other and for these coaches. And I think that's that's why. Yes, they had some talent, they brought in some talented players in that program, but I think it was the intangible element that really they felt put them

over the top. And Uh, both both guys were entertaining to listen to Phil Snow. Like we've heard a lot about Joe Brady, we haven't heard as much about Phil Snow, right, you know, he's kind of the older, old school defensive. Everyone's always focus on the offense and the fireworks that l s U put up. But it was interesting to learn a little bit more about Phil and to hear them say, you know, a little bit more about the

origins of the Yoda nickname. And Clay told me that he thinks he might have been the one who started that. He actually got a little bit of trouble because it was like Phil Snow had never heard of Yoda, and what are you talking about? But he said, he's just this, He's this old guy who's a super genius um and they all he owes all of his football knowledge and the ability he has right now to go on a white board with these NFL teams and really map out

what these coverages look like and dissecting the schemes. All of that he credits to Phil Snow and how he prepared him for this. Um. So those guys Lynch Lynch too, I mean, it was they swear by him, and we all know it's an adjustment going from the college to pro level. But man, if you listen to those two kids talk Lynch and Johnston, they will tell you that anybody in that Panther's locker room that you're about to become a much better player from getting work with these

two coaches. I thought it was interesting Lynch talked about how when he first got to Baylor that Snow taught him the offense first, and that was that. I thought that was an interesting Snow clip from him. Um, just learning the offense first and then kind of doing it back us. And it makes sense too. I mean, you know, if I've heard in the past, coaches will use a sort of tactic to say, you know, the best way we can play defense is to know what the offense

is trying to do. Right, So let's in Phil Snow's mind, it was clearly we've got to make sure our kids understand what the offense is trying to do to them, and then we can build off that and say here's how we're going to defend it. So, um, yeah, that was that was an interesting point he made, and it it makes sense. Well, you hear all the time of Matt Role every time he says, you know, we want teachers.

We want people who can you know, actually coach these kids and and and give them more than just you know, go to this I on this play. It's it's the why behind it. So it was it was interesting. I liked that quote from him to have just no this is this is real. They don't just talk this talk, they're actually doing it. They're form players can say it, but it still doesn't The quote of the day which Johnston when he said Snow is amazing. We call him

the Yoda, that's his nickname. He's just this old man. That's a super genius. Johnson said. So maybe he did get in trouble a little bit for Yoda, but let's just show Snow he's just an old man. Yeah, that's a super genius. I think that might dig a hole a little bit. He called him like a lovable grandpa. I don't know. I don't know that Philip would actually

love that either. He actually probably he probably would. But a lot of really cool things from the comment what what's kind of like your wrap up of of what you had here? Well, today was a big day too, just because there were some heavy hitters at the podium as well. And Derek Brown and Isaiah Simmons, as we talked about on our preview episode of the Group Chat, those are the two names that have been kind of

connected to Carolina early on in this process. Us. Um. First of all, Derek Brown, just when he's you know you're standing next to him, is an imposing figure. Not the most um outspoken guy, pretty quiet, but he doesn't need to do a whole lot of talking. UM. That guy. You can just you can just see that he's a lot to deal with um in the trenches. UM. So, I was just impressed with the way he kind of carries himself. He looks like a guy that's all business.

And every LSU player that I I heard from this week, everyone gets asked variation of this question, right, who was the toughest player you win against all of them on that LSU football team, said Derek Brown. I mean they were in unison on that one. It was like that dude, it was Edwards Hilaire, the running back. I'm saying that right. He's he told he told me it was like Derek Brown just does whatever he wants to do. So that that dude is a good player. I think he's in

the conversation for among the best player in this draft. UM, and so is Isaiah Simmons. Who's who's the Clemson products and he was. He was interesting to talk to you because he's a guy. And he made this point he's sort of dition lists now, and he said, you know, years ago that was a knock. It was if your position list, it's like, well, you can do a bunch of things, but you're a master of none quote unquote.

Today's NFL being position list is an asset. Uh And with the way defenses want to potentially utilize him safety linebacker close to the line of scrimmage as a Russian end, I mean, he can do a whole bunch of different things, and he feels like that's gonna make him really attractive to these NFL teams. And I agree. I think he's

he's he's right, and he's a really good athlete. He knows the defense so well from having to do all those different things, and I think teams in that top ten for sure are going to take a hard look at Simmons. Another question that's always asked, at least in my one couple of days of being here, is they always ask who do you compare yourself too. I thought it was interesting that Simmons said Jalen Ramsey, who's a corner tyrone Matthew who's a safety, and Von Miller, who's

an edge. Maybe if you just mix them all together, you would get Isaiah Simmons. I found that interesting. Also liked how he said, you know, the new NFL is these tight ends, and when you look at the Empire, these tight ends are having. Well that doesn't fit your traditional linebacker. But he's that speed linebacker that can run around.

And when I was listening to him speak and kind of how he approaches the game, it did remind me a little bit of Darius Leonard, who was taken with the Colts when I was there, and he's not used in that traditional linebacker because he's so quick from sideline to sideline. So he he's a little bit of you know, he might be that nickel or he might drop back, but he is the linebacker. He's that quarterback um of

the defense. So I am just curious though with Isaiah Simmons listening to him, is his knowledge there to be that quarterback of the defense? You think so? I mean with the way he's used to Clempson, the success that Clemson has had, the way that you know, you hear about Dabbo and those coaches being teachers but I think

that might be a big question for him. I haven't heard the raven review about his football i Q, and I feel like you normally hear that as you go through this of you know, he's a guy that can definitely run that defense. But I think it's crazy too that, you know, Dary Brown arguably the best player in this draft, but he's linked to the Panthers dropping a seven. So I think when you look in that top ten, that's what makes an interesting a team. They want quarterbacks, they

want to do all these things. But you could have the best guy dropped to seven and end up coming to the Panthers. Yeah. Look, I know Chase Young has certainly a lot to say about being the best player in this draft. He came out here today and declared that I think a lot of people would agree, Um, Joe Burrow. Of course, at the quarterback position, the best quarterbacks are going to be valued a little more heavily than the best interior defensive lineman. That's just a reality

of the way this league is right now. Everyone who doesn't have a quarterback is desperate to find one. So yeah, I think if you're a team sitting in the position like the Panthers are at seven. If you're gonna take a best available player approach, depending on what happens in front of you, yeah, you might have somebody fall into your lap, very much like what happened in two thousand twelve with Louke Kikley, who you know at a at

a linebacker spot. Clearly, if you look back on that now a Hall of Fame linebacker following to where he did at nine, people probably feel like they should have taken him or consider taking him a little earlier. Um, so that that can happen. And I think, yeah, Derek Brown with his with his talent level, you just don't see guys at a size able to do what he can do very often. I mean it's it's rare, um, but he might be on the board and that would

certainly be intriguing. Yeah, it is crazy, go ahead. I mean it's it's possible with there might be a quarterback run early and both of those guys are sitting there at seven. If they have their pick of those two, that would be an interesting conversation, right, I mean your value, what are you weighing? You know, you've got an interior disruptor,

a guy at the line of scrimmage. You've talked about the Panthers run defense and how all the issues they had last year, you'd certainly feel like, man, okay, that's a big way we can address that right off the bat. But Simmons too as a playmaking linebacker, as Caroline you mentioned, he was talking about it, how are you going to defend the kittles and Kelsey's in the world these days? You need somebody like me to do that? And he

makes a compelling point. Um, He's he's got that rare ability and a space linebacker to cover running backs like Christian McCaffrey. We're going to see more and more running backs doing what Christians doing. That's kind of the direction this is all going. So Um, a talent like Simmons is also intriguing one. So we'll we'll see where. We've still got a little ways to go before the Panthers

are on the clock. Um, but it's it's become a prety clear that these guys are certainly in that conversation and it's getting down to the point in the combine where there's really just one more day of media availability and then you start getting all on the field testing where we get to hear about hip flexibility, uh, the knee drive fast forty, all of those that we've already heard about, the hand size of of many of these guys. Yes, who is twitchy. But we now have to get to

the parts of the podcast. That is one of my favorite parts from this entire combine. So when we had so many celebrities stop, I'm just back to back. They were lined up at the table to come on the group chat. It was crazy, but really it's linked to one man we had. So when you may know he went viral on Twitter for his Nick Saban impersonation about picking his favorite having to pick between Thanksgiving sides. So it was Joey Molinaro. He is from Indianapolis. He works

for a radio station here in town. But he said he started this and now it has grown into um, I don't want to say full time business, but we think it should be because here's what he did for is. I won't say anymore about because it was fantastic, But here's a little segment we did with many many personalities, but all stimming from one man. We have one of our first guests. So on this podcast, we we have some guests that come in but normally it's me making

a full of myself. Um, I am going to show off who that PERSONA is a little bit later, but we have our first guests. Although this is a bit of a package deal, I think is the best way to put it. It's it's it's one person, multiple personalities, several guests waiting to join. They really are and and I wish you know, you're not gonna be able to recognize this person necessarily over audio, but I think if you see who we're talking about, I'll post something. Um,

you'll recognize him because he's gone viral many times. Any times viral? How does that sound? Yeah, it's like you know, you tell your grandma that and she's like, well, what's going on to the doctor problem? Check out that? That doesn't sound good? But yeah, I know it's it's been fun, it's been wild. Well, we have Joey here, Joey you you gotta tell us how the heck did this come about? Have you always been able to do impersonations? Yeah, I

mean I've tried. Like you know, I tell people that I was kind of like the living room impersonator grown up, right, I do like school teachers and different you know, family friends and stuff like that. But then once I know, got into the professional media world or whatever, I was like, if I want to keep doing this, I need to do people that other people know besides just like my fifth grade teacher. Um, and so I started giving it

a shot and you know, going for it. Well, you may be able to recognize him when we asked him to do the Nick Saban. I think that's I think Andrew Luck is your best impersonation personally. We're gonna we're gonna talk to him in a little bit. You got a lot. I mean you were up close and personal with him. That's why I think it's so good, because the cadence everything is so good. So we're we're going to talk to Andrew and just a little bit. Um. But Nick Saban is what really got you the most viral.

That's where people may yes, UM, tell us how did that come about? When did you think about, Oh, I should definitely have Nick Saban talk about Thanksgiving it and get that going. Yeah, it was because, like you said, Luck was the first one that I did. Um, So then I started once he retired. Um, I was like, I gotta figure out somebody else that I can do,

and um, it. It was around Thanksgiving time obviously, and I was like, I don't think anybody's done anything with that sabing bit that um he did with Maria Taylor right where he was the quid asking, And I was like, it'd be funny if talking about Thanksgiving, you know, he's talking about instead of two different quarterbacks, he's talking about two different options of food, you know, whether it besides

or desserts or whatever it is. And um, you know it was just a quick fifteen second bit and you know, called on with the right audience and how many views does that have? Do you know? Do you keep up with it? No? Um? I mean it's back in November, so last time I checked a couple of million something like that. But that's so fun. In a while, it was worth it. So now I hope everyone out there

knows who we've got on here. But really we've got to talk about the combine and there's no one better that knows, you know, Indie and the Combine than Andrew Um. So we'd love to hear from Andrew of just you know, why why is Indie? Why why should the combine stay Indie? It's it's a perfect place of of a centralized location, a lot of great architecture around, whether it be Lucas Soil or the convention center. Where everything is is a

very very good spot. Uh. Like I said, essentially located a lot of good food, a good restaurants, and good places to hang out. But it's snowing, Andrew, it's snowing here. I mean what these l a people, they don't know what to do. But that's another great thing is that everything walking distance from the hotel to the convention center. Sometimes they even have overpasses that you can walk in. Uh. And that makes it very convenient. So I'd be an

advocate that I should stay here for a long time. Andrew. I don't know how much you're keeping up with the draft these days, but do you have any thoughts on the quarterback talent on display? Everyone's talking about Joe Burrow? He any good? Well, I'm a dad now, uh so, I'm I'm pretty busy on a on a day to day. Will there it be you know, helping my daughter start to read already because we're very smart, or you know,

having to get up and change poopy diapers. I haven't kept up with it too much, but Joe Burrow is Uh, I think he's gonna be just fine. And instead Two's gonna be fine too, And uh, if anyone fall to Indie, I think that'd be pretty good. Well, speaking of too, I think I think saving just walked. Is that? Yeah? Exactly? Nick? How are you doing? I know Ta is here and and gosh, I mean you had quite a time with him. How do you think he's gonna do at this next level? Yeah,

I mean thanks for having me on your program. Uh to it as somebody that I'm very proud of. I wish you would have stayed another year because we've got to be able to go down to l s U and beat those beat those dudes. We got us last. Um, But anybody who gets to I was gonna be really pleased with who'd they get as a as a person, as a player. And uh, you know, I'm I'm trying to run my own football program. So if you would just take the time to not ask me about two anymore,

that'd be good. All right? Are you? Nick? Are you looking for some sympathy for the Alabama program? The fact that they're losing a quarterback. Seems like you guys just replace talents so easily. Why why should we feel bad for you guys for having to lose to it for next year. Look, I'm not asking anybody to feel bad for me. I'm Nick freaking saman I have a statue. You have a statue. I don't. I don't Nick. That's why I thought I'm a living legend. I don't recruit,

I reload. That's what we do Alabama, my football program. Yeah, I mean it's true, but you know, for a while, you guys were the dynasty of everything about me. Clemson's coming upon your l s U. Well, Caroline, I'm sorry one year dound. That don't mean that we're not gonna be come back. So I still think that we're on top. We gotta count the rings a little bit. You got some rings, you're right, how you're wearing a few exactly.

L s U got you, and they look to be building quite a powerhouse program that I don't know that you guys are gonna have total control over that conference in nation like you have. It's like I tell my wife, sometimes every blind score finds a nut every now and then. So L s U I get us once in seven years. I'm not too worried about it. Okay, all right, well, coach, oh, actually he's walking not The coag is crazy. How many

uh big guys are coming through. Yeah, I mean you just kind of said that about you know, I mean, coch coach O coming in here. But coach, first off, you know, congratulations this year with what your team was able to do. Thank you so much. You're so good to be here on the Panther Podcast with everybody so excited about Joe Burrow here in Indianapolis right now, and we had you he's gonna be a Bengal so still kind of a talk on some sort of way, but

very upseting. Well. He handled himself very well yesterday at the press conference. And are you are you surprised with how he's gone through this an entire situation? Most definitely not. That's how we raised our players. That's how we raised them to be, from baby tagles to grown up tacles. Joe Burrow is definitely a grown up tacle. He's got a national championship and uh sort of proud of them. Coach, You've got sixteen growing up tigers here in Indianapolis. How

did you acquire so much talent? How are you going torn down? Turn down to come on down there? To Coach's house house and gumbo with my mom and Cocole. It's always gonna be a great time. You guess that's true. Well, I do have to say our our producer, Matt huge L s U fan he went to the game. Um, I'm sure he recognized him though, because he was around so much and all that he did for your program. Yeah, I mean he was there. I don't think it it

really you wouldn't have won without him there, Coach. Oh, I mean he's a big part any anytime that we have extra support those tacles down there, new oleans that we had a lot of it. But I certainly appreciate you, Matt being down there. I don't whaticee about about that. It's about that. I mean it was closer to h Okay, does people want to tacles up there? You're winning the championship, the championship. But I remember looking up when I looked up the talcle Faithful, and I saw you when I said,

that's what I saw about talks. It's a moment that I don't think I'll ever forget. I'll be honest with you. I see a tear in your eye. I mean I'm holding them back right now. I'm glad, but we do have to actually kind of shift a little bit here. Um, we we saw you walking around yesterday, Colin, but listen, we had to sit you down here because you're not very nice to Panther fans. Sometimes you're not very nice, uh,

to Cam Newton. And the news came out this week, you know, and if he's healthy, he's the Panthers guy. We need an apology about how why do you just not like the guy I'm not. I'm not in the credit business, in the honesty business. If you want to credit, go to your local bank. I'm not in that business. I'm in the honesty business. Okay, Cam, he's more into fashion magazines than the playbook. I can't apologize to a guy who's more worried about looking good in the But

Colling camis but Colling camis let. Kim hasn't had a winning record in three years. Three years. It's hurt. I think we need we need At a certain point, it just seems like it gets oddly personal between you and Kim, and I think I think people just want to know why why is that? I mean, objectively, he's been great in the community. His teammates love him all these things, and yet you seem to still find ways to poke

holes in him whenever you get a chance. See, my philosophy with quarterback has always been, you have to be somebody who could be a face of the franchise, someone who's not a backwards hat kind of guy, back Newton backwards hat kind of guy. Feather in the cab kind of guy. They're in the cab, he's on g Q, he's on you know what I want. I want him in the playbook. He isn't in the playbook. He's out there in a g Q and worried about Instagram and

with this and doing the rap. And you know, you know when we were we were trying, we were trying, but Colin, get out of here, Colin, just just get out. You know, we tried, We tried. We tried to get out of a round of applause here for Joe. How how do you what? How do you do it? I mean, I just, you know, I just have I just have fun with it, you know, And I just try to make the characters be as big and as loud and

as obnoxious as they can be. And like it was somebody like coach Oh, he's so lovable that I don't, you know, saving to somebody and collin somebody that you know that that makes people mad a lot and a lot of people don't like saving. A lot of people don't like cowherd Um for different reasons. But there's not too many people who don't like coach. Oh. He's just a very lovable, likable guy. That's good. You've got a

good coach, thank you. That's always fun to just be able to just get into that and be the lovable, big old coach. Oh. But yeah, so I just you know, I just have fun with it and just try to come up with bids that will make people laugh. And the thing about your impersonation though, it's it's the little

things that you just absolutely get right. That's like he did a video the other day where he was faking some press conference and at the beginning of the video he had someone like reach up and set like a

microphone on the table like those little touches. Big people who watch sports all the time about the detail that just that makes me how much how much practice does it take to get to a point where on command you can go from one voice to another to another, especially on the spot like this you don't have a chance to like get a warm up or just like try to get into it. Yeah, it's tough because sometimes, like you know, I mean that, that's what it is like.

You just have to roll with it, like you can't you know, if at the start you're not you're right into it. You just have to keep going right because you guys aren't You're gonna be like, oh yeah, take a few practice rounds and don't know what we're doing this. So it's like if I'm not getting at first, now I'm getting a cowherd something I'm not think everything about cowhert is like when he asked a question like yeah, but obviously this is a great radio for the people

who are listening. Hopefully we got wet, but no, man, you just have to like just go into it. You can't you know, struggle and be like ah, stop anything that you just gotta go into it and keep rolling. Well. I'm not a professional, but I do have one impersonation. It's not of a particular human tomorrow persona um and it's Southern mom. And listen, she gets pissed when she gets real piff when um, when some guys like the meeting members Colin talking about my boy cam. Um, we

don't deal with that, and we don't. We don't. Yeah, we don't really deal with that. We did a bit earlier this year and I gotta get out of it. We did earlier this year with Yeah it's hard, you gotta get up. But with uh CMC carried the ball for what thirties seven? It was crazy, I think it was thirty seven times, and people were like, oh, you're running him too hard. So Southern Mama became uh Christian

McCaffrey's mother. She's very protective. Then she's very protective and said, you know, hey, thirty five, Hell give him forty two. I've always been running to the franch for me this whole time. And then I had the audacity to tell his mother that I actually did it and did the import like did it for her on the sidelines. I've never had the like, I've never had that experience of like somebody that I impersonate with him, you know, I've

never done it in front of him. I've been around Andrew when he was playing, and that was always kind of weird because I felt like he might have known. But then again, he's not on anything, so I can see anything like, but um, you know, so I haven't. I haven't gotten that x I don't know. I feel like that's right up Andrew's alley. I think he would enjoy and think it's it's funny. I can't. I can't tell.

I would hope. So it's like a dream of mine to do a little like like across the table together and like kind of Jimmy Fallon who was my guy from Rolling Stones, um whatever his name Jack one day that would be amazing. Yeah, but I don't know what too. Let's hope that we can do that. But I'm gonna jump on this train. I'll try. I want to make that happen to Yeah, you have more connections. So funny Andrew Andrew interviewing Andrew. Yeah, I mean I think it would.

It would be perfect. We could pub the XFL for his dad. Well, I mean we could would go crazy. We can we can pull the strings on this. I want to make this happen. But seriously, thank you so much for joining us. Tell the people where to follow you because they need to be able to they need to be able to hear you. Yeah, so just on Twitter is my main my main platform. Joey spelled, you know, joe Y and then Mullinero m U L I N A R O Joey MULLNERO on Twitter and we can

keep having fun and find me on their awesome. Well, we can't wait to see what else you come up with, and we appreciate you joined us. Thanks. Wow, wow, I mean really, Matt, are you okay? I've been waiting a long time. Not only did you get to hit that button, but I mean, coach, oh, thank you for all all that you did. Yeah, that meant a lot to me because obviously, you know you did forget all these guys that are here. It was your favorite? Who was your

favorite of the interviews? Mine is Andrew because he nails the cadence, which words get you know, brought to life through the body line. It was just and then I interviewed him for three years and so I know that voice in that cadence. Honestly, think if we hadn't told people who Joey was and we just said Andrew's here in Indianapolis, he's doing a little bit of media. We actually got him for five minutes and he acted as if, you know, like if we just played it straight. I

don't know that anyone. I don't know. I think he could. I think he could have gotten away with two. I think that one and very good. In a radio situation where all you're hearing is the voice, I don't think you're able to tell if we had played it off. I mean, why wouldn't those We should have done that. This is why we get for not really preparing. We should have just done it like that. I just wonder anyway it was. It's that good. But that that is

why that's my favorite piece from the combine. Yes, there's all these storylines about these players and what they're doing, but we just had a man sit here and run through four different impersonations. That's not happening in every combine. At every combine, you're gonna have, you know, a runaway story. You're gonna have a guy that you know breaks these records, and you're not going to have Andrew Luck, Nick Sabe and Cocho and Collin Coward on the same show. I

can tell you that for free. So you're welcome for all this great content that we brought you from this year's NFL Combine. That concludes, uh the group chat here in Indianapolis. We will be back in Charlotte and talk to you guys next week.
