I'm coming to you from a city filled with heroes in Bunker's Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, Greg Rosithal,
What is up? Boys? Hey? Dan? Hi, And this is a special week. We've got a lot of guests and uh, this person is not even really a guest. She's part of the family. She's one of the heroes. And uh, for the first time ever, I mean, how special is this guest not a guest, actually a member of the family. She's got her own sanctioned theme song from a contest that lasted weeks and came down with one winner. So introducing on the Around the NFL Podcast for the first
time with her theme music, Connie Fox. See crank that up, turn that up in my headphones. There's a wolf. There's a wolf. There's a wolf. Can't blow your house down. There's a wolf. There's a wolf. There's a wolf. Can'd of blow out? Don't mess where, don't do it, don't do it, don't do stupid, don't messwear, don't do it, don't do don't do stupid. God, ay, we could keep it going. We could just do that. The whole show could just be that. That's fine. Hello, what is up there?
She is, Welcome back to the show. How you been? How you holding up? I know you're doing a lot of puzzle work. Obviously you and Gonzo are doing, um some improv work and some on camera work together. I'm in knowing that you got a lot of cooking. It seems like in Connie Fox headquarters. Yeah, well, um, I just finished a slice of lemon ricotta cake. Um. I've to date now done a pineapple upside down cake, a brownie cheesecake, the lemon ricottic cake. I think a pie
is next. I've been puzzling, and then the network put a camera at the house because I think they know that if they don't keep me busy, that I will continue to post like increasingly more concerning content. So I think it's just a safeguard for everyone. They're keeping you busy too. On the network side, You're all over the television during these times. How about that? Yeah, I did a little total access today in fact, I've been doing Total Access on Thursday and Friday, Little Mock Draft Live
on Tuesday. Who knows what's next? I had that up. How intrusive is that home cam? Does it watch you while you sleep? Well? They told me that I can't turn it off? Um, which is concerning. That's how they get you. I currently have a shirt over Yeah, I have a t shirt over it. And then I've just connected the audio like twenty seven different ways, so for
now it's okay. However, however, Rhett Lewis also has a home cam at his house and he informed me that there was nowhere else to put it except for his bedroom, so that is not where line is. And are we absolutely certain that there's only one cam that was set up? I mean, how closely did we watch this? I right now it's to be believed there is only one. But this is a crazy mixed uff world, so who knows. There was a movie that came out starring Sharon Stone
and one of the Baldwin brothers. I believe it was Billy Billy Baldwin. A lot of people don't remember Billy called Sliver. That was about a lot of cameras being set up in someone's house without their knowledge. So just you know, a radar situation for you. Side note, I actually had the soundtrack to Sliver, which the UB forty song on it didn't there was one or two it was. It was dragged down by it being completely uh, the opposite of memorable. I don't know how I Love You
had the soundtrack. I think it actually had the cover of Can't Help Falling in Love on it by the UB four by by UB forty, which they made its way onto a number of totally ill fated mixtapes that I made for like ninth Grade Girls when I was also in ninth grade, just to be clear about that, which came up on the Throwback podcast their last appearance
where we went through Mark Sessler mixtape favorites. So dig that up out of the archives if you want to learn more about Mark's romantic journey then led him to the beautiful Simone Sessler. You good call uh YOUB forty. Can't Help Phoning in Love is on the Sliver soundtrack, a movie whose tagline was like, hey, you remember seeing Sharon Stone naked and bass sick instincts? You love this one. It's the next one and she's making again. UM so Colleen,
so great to have you here. It's like a family reunion, especially given given the times. And I think we talked about it on this show, or who knows, maybe it was on our UM our text group which is uh labeled a t NTS labeled by Colleen months ago. Um that our hang out the Friday before everything got locked down has has functionally served as the last time any of us had any type of social connection. So to get us all get back together again, it feels good.
It's great. That was like the last supper of like happy hours. So here we are. I got like a bit of a pot pourri for the show today. I think we got a lot of fun stuff to talk about. Um, we're going to um get caught up on with everyone in quarantine. Let's go around the group, Rick, you included a kind of quarantine Mount Rushmore. If you had to pick four people, uh to be locked down with shelter in place, can't be loved, ones must be living, and at least one of the four people has to be
an NFL figure. I'm just curious what you guys are gonna come up with with your list. My list is pretty incredible and I'd like to see anybody trying to beat it. If I loved one. Can it be like people you know? No friends, no anyone that you already a consider someone close, like an intimate person like for you, for instance, jentle Nick. Couldn't be on your group, couldn't be like Grover from Tybee Island. I don't, I don't know exactly, can't be dead, none of us. We can't
steal Lakisha from West is what you're saying. It feels too intimate at this point. Um and uh. Also, we're gonna get caught up on the news with another flash with Mark Sessler. Uh and um before that and says something he has to get off his chest that can't wait for that. We're gonna save that for the end
of the show. What's on Wes's radar. But before that, Colleen, when we were chatting and text you and I earlier this week, you had mentioned something that had started to evolve out of your inner self over the time of this lockdown. You want to explain a little bit to the audience. Well, I I texted Dan and I said, is it weird that I'm starting to have feelings for Andrew Cuomo and I don't think that that is necessarily original at this point. I think other people are feeling
that as well. But it's almost like an Andrew Anthony duo that has evolved in my life of Andrew Cuomo and Anthony Fauci. Uh, two guys who I would have previously never really looked looked twice at, and now they have really just invaded my living room and I feel like they're here almost every day. And so, yeah, having some weird feelings, it's not an invasion. If they're welcome,
you're just opening the door right up. For there's for Chris Cuomo, I mean, who looks very much like Andrew Cuomo, who's on television UM prominently also and and left out of your love interest pool. Well, I'm I'm feeling a little bad for Chris right now because he's quarantined in
his basement with the virus. H Yeah, he's got the rownas So it's been my feelings have been more directed towards uh, the leader of New York right now, although you know the continued disrespect of our governor, Gavin Newsom. I mean, if you're going to Central casting for like a hot governor, UM, who didn't make maybe as many mistakes as as Cuomo. Is that who you're catching feelings for? Greg? Yeah, I think I'm going newso big fantom. Wait, let me
google him. I want to get a good look at him. Though, good look at Come on, you don't know what our government. I mean, he's been on top of now, I mean it's time to take a good look at him. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh wow, Hello damn. He's six three two. It seems like he'd be like a sit official in like one of the Batman films. Basically, Gregg, you and Newson would be such a great couple. He's that aulking Goliath and he'd be on his arm anyway. That's uh, that's who
we're catching feelings for during the lockdown. And now it's that time flash with Mark Minko. Thank you Demon. Will the NFL draft be undone by a gaggle of Luddites? With April's draft just weeks away and set to operate remotely? Adam Schefter reports certain coaches in front office staffers are reluctant to have faceless tech nerds in their home while
the coronavirus does its thing. A point of view not shared by the Demon who loves when strangers enter his living space for casual small talk, fellowship over a potluck summer and maybe just see what the night leads to, right demon, just read the news Jet Jerk. Meanwhile, Bengals coach Zach Taylor says all options are on the table
when it comes to X starting quarterback Andy Dalton. The Glowing ginger Man has other thoughts, though, with one Bengals insider telling us that Dalton wants to start elsewhere under a new contract that would allow in quotes, dead presidents to rain down from every room in the house. It's a workplace tactic made popular by our very own Tiny Box, who currently makes more than every staffer on this show combined time six while doing puzzles with a man in
the bathrobe. The Colts runner Nahem Hines is expected to get plenty more action this upcoming autumn for the Athletic, not the case for the Demand. Following his better Half soft reboot in a Household a Drift with Big Toddler energy in Hollywood, his Jets quarterbacks Sam Donald about to follow in the footsteps of Broadway Joe. Donald's name has been discussed for a lead role in the much anticipated follow up to Y two k's indie hit chokol Lot,
with a working title of chocol Lot Overdrive. The rule would require Donald to learn French from scratch and tumble into a heated love triangle with fifty six year old Juliette Boa Five year old Judy Dench. Not a problem for Donald, according to Hollywood Power agents Brian Lord, noting Donald has been, in quotes, a huge Dench guy for years and doesn't see age when looking at a female's overall makeup. You know, the d Man is happy for Sam,
but at the same time turning green with envy. After spending the better half of two thousand and six founding The Dench Boys, a member's only fan club dedicated to tracking Dench as many on and off screen love affairs, with reports every twenty minutes on a very slow newsday. This is Mark Sessler with your twenty sports update. Thanks make mant what happened to? What's that? There's a body bag on the floor and I'm in it? Yeah, I
am a little concerned. You know. We launched the Flash in honor of w w F A N and the Makeman. Who's the best guy and he gets canned? Days later, a little bit of a correlation. I'm a little worried about that. I mean, i'd go down the Jamis Winston Route and just say, you know, I'd take it as a compliment, But I don't feel good about what it knows because it was someone like he was embedded in the Great Man. One bit of news that the McMahon
did miss. And we haven't been getting enough. We haven't been getting a lot of news on the bow Ringer front. So I figured it's time to just um morph things a little bit. Here. Uh, let's catch up with a friend we haven't heard from a lot lately. And now another edition of Sipping Checking. Yeah, it's it's our new program. Or we're checking on Gino Smith, Greg's favorite football player of all time, the West Virginia product, former second round pick of the New York Jets who was in the news.
Maybe not his fault that he was in the news. He got dragged into the news cycle by his old head coach Rex Ryan, who on ESPN decided to take shots at his former quarterback. Here's what Rex had to say. Let's give him somebody else. Let's give him Geno Smith, Let's give him whoever and let's let's see how many Super Bowls he would have won. Gino then shot back on Twitter, my mama never liked dude. He'd been a snake, and y'all glorify it. Should have got fired after year one.
Truth is, we won eight games after ESPN had his winning two and he got his job back. Somehow I'm caught up in the feud and I'm the scapegoat, same guy that drafted me. Hashtag the business. Gino Smith unemployed as of this time. Rex Ryan out of football on the sideline and making noise. Greg, your thoughts on your boy Gino Smith? I mean, Rex seems to be projecting here. You know, he he was expected to be this great head coach. He fizzled out. He's an under five Coach's
expected to be a big time analysts. That doesn't seem to be going that well. Now he's taking shots at Gino. Who really did get Rex Ryan paid an extra year if Gino Smith didn't win those games? In December? Rexell, here we go blowing it in. Here we go again with what Greg talking about Geno's two thousand thirteen December. I mean, is it is it a fact or not? Those jobs saved remembers. Yeah, those those games saved him.
The calendar on Greg's Mount Rushmore house is just December two thousand thirteen, with Gino sitting right next to him. And this is the same Rex who referred to Marii Cooper as a tird after Cooper assigned his deal. I think what's happening here with Rex is either he now realizes he's never gonna be a head coach again, and he doesn't want to take an assistant job, so he's now putting on the FU shades and deciding just to
blow people up to get as much much notoriety as possible. UM. I kind of get the vibe that's where he's now. And I don't know when these things are forced, they very rarely work. So Claiborne said, give the Patriots Rex Ryan and see see how that would have gone into Let me interject here, as someone who traveled along the Italian and Germanic countrysides with Rex Ryan and and has spent plenty of time along with you guys working with his brother, I couldn't disagree more. I think he's correct
in what he's said. Um. His his analysis is spot on, and I hope to hear more. I like that and let it never be forgotten Greg that in January two thousand eleven, Rex Ryan went up to Foxboro and won a playoff game. I mean, Geno Smith's been involved with a lot more winning playoff games over the last few years than Rex Ryan. He's still in the league defined involved. I mean he's the backup quarterback. But Russell Wilson needs help. When Philip Rivers needs help, they know where to go.
They go to Gino. Yes, Gino still unemployed, but we will be tracking it in our new segment. And that was another edition of Sipping on Veno, Checking on Gino. That segment has legs I could see. I'll see many more chapters to commin with, imagine over the next couple of months. I mean the thing with keeping up with bow Ringer, which is one of my favorite. When I was doing that, your guy Gino is my guy, they
go pick another one of your guys. No, I mean I think that it's Don't you like the idea of a segment that keeps Gino on the show in some capacity? I mean not not if he's going to be mocked. You know, the dignity of Gina He's very relevant, so it makes sense. All right, let's do some let's have some more fun. It's a it's a slow newsday in the NFL, so let's do it. Quarantine Mount Rushmore. Pick four.
People cannot be loved, ones cannot be family. Who would be your optimal people to shelter in place with for weeks slash months? Is this gonna be months? Is it already months? What? What is time? We were hitting twenty eight days tomorrow because that first Friday was the bunker cast um. It was also the first day schools were out, so that's twenty eight days as of tomorrow, twenty eight days later. Anyway, of the four, at least one must be an NFL figure. So Connie, why don't we start
again with you. I'm very interested to hear what your quadrant would be. Alright, so I'm giving all four right now? Yeah, let it rip. Okay, Uh, this was very difficult. I had many questions about it in terms of could we have somebody who is dead, uh in quarantine with us not actively dead obviously, but somebody from the past bring them back? That is not okay? So here are my four. I'm gonna go with Michelle Obama because she's incredibly relatable, intelligent, inspiring,
great conversationalists. Also, I want to know all the details about what actually happened at the White House and all the global drama that happened, and I feel like I would be able to get some of that in quarantine, plus the extension of a Barack Obama FaceTime. It just feels like that would be great, and I'd sign an n DA no problem. Okay, Shehelle Obama. And then my NFL figure is mark Ingram because I just love him.
He seems both chill and fun at the same time, and I feel like he would be a great hang every time I've ever interviewed him. He is super easy to talk to and it just feels like, no matter what group you have assembled, he would be perfect to just drop in. And there's a good example that mark could not select Marketing Ram because they are friends, whereas Palin does not have a personal relationship so she could select him. That's my status update on one where things
stand between me and mark Ingram. I'm not sure he's best friends as any idea who I am at this point, but I'm hoping so Okay, I'm also going to go with Tina Fey because obviously obviously she's hilarious and bright and she's from Philly, so that appeals to me, and it's somebody took one of mine, so forward. Sorry, she is somebody that I got her. She's someone I could do improv with. So then I'm ready to take that classy. Um, yeah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna brush up on my skills with
Tina fet So I just want her. This is my favorite, not even under the radar feud between Erica and Colleen about the improv class that went sideways that I signed up for because Colleen says she was picking the same one and then I signed up. Anyway, you're so full of Ship's creek it's ridiculous. I'm brushing you to your ultimate potential, Ricky. I'm just trying to get you there. Did you guys smooth this over with like a SPA day? Then I suggest that and then you know we we
we fell through. It felt through. Yeah. My I have a group on and um, I can all I can't use it on Monday holiday weekends. Yeah, So anyway, I don't know what happened prioritize that quality time with Erica yeah, all right. My last would have done the spot with m j Acosta. Listen. I was going to go to this fall with Erica. In fact, I texted her and I was like, oh my god, it's Emma's birthday. We should definitely go to the spot together and take pictures
and send them to Emma. But as it turns out, it was Emma my nieces, my god daughter's birthday, and not Emma. The second half of the broadcast, Quest Love can Quest Love. He's yes, also, Philly. He's been doing like all of these amazing sets during the lockdown. So I've always wanted to learn the drums, and I feel like, bring bring your tables and we'll hang out and play great music and doing prop together. It'll be awesome. That's that's a good one. That's a good And who's your
NFL player? Ingram? Oh Ingram? Okay, good, all right, that's a nice, nice forsome gotta be all rounded. All right, Greg, you're up. If someone else go, you know, alright, Mark, You're up? All right? Um. I also struggle to this a little bit, but you know, I'm gonna go with some people that have made me think they're struggling a lot today, Mark, I am. I would say this has been a from me, a D D minus performance, and that's being general. I want to pull back the curtain
a little bit. Mark is the most punctual member of the Around the NFL podcast. I'm on the other side of that, probably um. And when Mark sends us a text twenty minutes before showtime saying he needs extra time, you know something. There's a war zone going on at
the rented pad. Yeah. Well, the spinning on that was, you know, my my wife is trying to work full time right now, and she was on a believe a call or something, and I have two boys under the age of ton ten that needed to go um to the bathroom and not the easier way but the harder option there at the same time, and one would not let the other into the room and was using like taking twenty five minutes watching his hands while I was trying to teach child number two how to squeeze your
butt cheeks. So you know, gigantic issue doesn't happen. It's a life skill. But you know that was happening about two minutes before we were meant to be signing on. It's not always glamorous this this parent life. It is not. Um, I never had that conversation with my dad. Don't act like you've never done it. All Right, here we go for the quarantine. Four some five some. I guess um number one we go Alec Baldwin because I've always liked Baldwin. Yeah,
but Baldwin. I mean, if you've been watching his live Instagram UM updates, which you know, I always get him like, I'm gonna watch like twelve seconds of this, but like five minutes later, I'm like, I have no idea what he's talking about. Uh, he seems to be I don't want to suggest that he's on a substance, but in a natural high of some sort and not operating in reality. And he also looks like he hasn't slept or done anything healthy in about four or five months. And the
whole thing is just very appealing to me. Um, And so he I think he could add some gravitas to the room, mixing it up. It's male female. I don't want all all guys. You know it stuck together for four or five months, so now we knew you'd have females in the mix. Alright, Well, I like it, Like, let's get some different personalities and vibes in their number two Gale God. Oh, because I gotta tell you something,
here's what I do. I would put her in a corner after her little imagined song, which I think deliciously went totally sideways. You have to sit in a chair in a corner for the first like ten days, and she we would just be able to, you know, we could give her little like plates of food or something, but she learned to live like the I love Greg's face right now. He's of Paul, but um, she would
learn to live like the like the common punished preaching, punishing. Yeah, she's she's been to start out that she's been very bad, and she'll just sit in the corner. I think it's kind well. And then so the third person, because you're gonna say this is my NFL figure and you're gonna say, oh, you know this person, but I've worked with this person for over a decade at this point, and the person has no idea that I exist in this same uh employment or workspaces him. That's Michael Irvin, who I know
Colleen could not pick. She's close with, but an absolute and I don't know anything about him other than what I see on screen, I would you gotta bring a wild card in, And to me, he is an absolute total wild card in a locked in space, and I want to see what he would come up with over the course of the next days. And my fourth person, um, you know, along the lines of the show that Erica watched.
I still think that the last show that I'm a completist on before all this mess happened was Love and Love is Blind, And I'm going Gianna from Love is Blind because I've been tracking her Instagram and I find her to be also yeah, and she well she also if you watch her Instagram feed, she seems to although you know someone's writing some sort of message from her,
have no idea that the pandemic exists. She's out about her garden like in a four thousand dollar dress, she's doing her hair, she's eating like six thousand dollar cupcakes. Like I It's it's while while also while a nice break from the mess, at the same time, I'm slightly appalled with her, so and I consider her only maybe one of the few people that's a bigger wild card than Urbans. So you can put all those people together and I just would be enjoying the sights and soundsus.
Will she also be punished? No, she's not in that stane and Gail, you know, has a chance to repent for what she's done. So you chose two women that you specifically have some animosity towards, but also attraction is well, animosity for sure, but I mean that, but fleeting animosity. Does Gail stay in the underground soundproof basement or does
she go room with us? But she's in, She's in the corner, in like an uncomfortable chair, and she's not allowed to move, all right, Chris Wesley, Well, let's start with the football figure. We're going Ricky Williams oh. I like that traveler, soul searcher, wander, nonconformist and sort of in the gal Jadovain. If he acts up, we just stick a football helmet on him and put him in the corner. I think I think he might have had
a line in the Imagine song. I have to rewatch that he might have um And you know we're gonna start our franchise with a Marco Polo type of figure. I need somebody who's gone to the four corners of the earth and can regale us with stories. And since I can't have Anthony Bourdain rest in peace. I'm picking Argentinean chef Francis Mallman, who is actually the most interesting man in the world. If you ever seen Chef's Table
on Netflix, he's on there. He has We're gonna be quarantined, quarantined at his lakeside hacienda in the mountains of Patagonia, right by a lake. So we're gonna have that ambiance going. And I said, he's a chef, so he works with fire, he works with water, um, and he always has the best ambiance. So we're gonna start there that that's our first two picks. Then we go Sa Ray from HBO's Insecure.
Kesha and I are simpatico on my female picks. We're also gonna go with Chrissy Teagan, who has cheff abilities of her own. Is funny, um and not. She might be a little much to handle in a quarantine situation. She can wear Ricky's football helmet in the corner. West. Your list is like shockingly similar to the people that I almost had on mine, which is crazy. I Bourdain was the one I was asking about whether or not we could have somebody dead on the list. Chrissie, Teagan
and Saree were right there but didn't make the cut. Eventually. I love your list. I think it's great. Well you can you can hang out with us as soon as the quarantine is over done. Um, all right, I will throw up mine. I wanted to hit different like areas of because there's a lot of this is about time
killing obviously, um the NFL figure. I'll start there, also Ryan Fitzpatrick, and I'll give a shout out to Neil Reynolds because Neil I have uh document an evidence that Neil um had an amazing time with Fitzpatrick, who was very down to earth and easy to talk to and had uh some interesting interest. Maybe we go down to a water hole. Maybe I'm maybe I'm locked down at at his pad, but too many kids there. Maybe I'll send the kids to California and just will be me,
Ryan and my other two people at his house. Is that cruel? I don't know. Maybe maybe not in this Okay, I want to have a funny somebody funny, So I'm gonna go with Bill Hayter. He seems like super down to earth and um, I think he's one of the funniest guys. Um in show business, the business of show and just seems like a down to earth guy. That's important. I want down to earth people and I but I want a rock star who's the most down to earth rock star. Dave Grohl. Give me Dave Grohl of the
Food Fighters. That dude has stories to tell. That's a big part of this too. I want to talk to people that have lived the life. Grol is really big into barbecue now. He like multiple big green eggs. He's oh, he's always smoking and grilling. He's us. Uh, meat plants are shutting down at the at the moment, so you
better buy meat up right now. People want the amount of money that we have inside the bank accounts, we will get meat mart and uh, finally, you know, I was gonna go Tina Fey, but Collie and You drafted her, So I'm gonna go Tina fe Adjason on some level stay in the NBC family. I'll go Jenna Fisher. I love the Office, love to binge the office. She's another very cool, down to earth person who I feel like we would hit it off, maybe a Jim Pam type vibe.
So Jenna Fisher Pam from the Office is my fourth so hater roll Fisher, Fitzpatrick. I'm sure Emily would be absolutely thrilled with the tail end of that list. There no no issues, no problems over the course of a five or six months. You know, locked in? I locked in? You have locked in? When you have you have an actress chained to your basement. I know, But I'm not one of the moments in our pod guest ter God, I just assume I come out into a completely new
world and and family structure and everything else. So I'm just assuming that. I feel like Fisher is somewhat unassuming. I don't know if Emily would be messed up with that, but maybe she is. Greg is it? Are you ready? Now? Sure? West got me thinking you do need someone. Um, ideally that's like a great a great cook. So I'm gonna know. And Grole bailed me out there. Yeah, I'm gonna go Podma from Top Chef. If you're from me, it's just it's just a strong choice and a great cook. Um.
I want musicians because I just want that. I want some entertainment, I want some personality. I'm going Lucinda Williams to play some guitar. I'm going Megan the Stallion. I just think she'd add a lot of life to the party. And then I'm wrapping it up back with Teddy Bridgewater. Didn't we under entwer this question like a week ago. It's just like me and Teddy hanging out with our
three ladies and we're chilling. So Padma, Lucinda, Megan and Teddy. Yeah, all right, you're gonna talk to him about his little issue with air yards for I'm flying, alright, Ricky rickylose it out all right. So first off, I have this was tough. I had to go between um, Taylor Swift
and Justin Timberlake. But I ended up going with Taylor Swift for music just because, yeah, just because we can hang out and like, I just feel like she's super cool and I'd love to see like behind the whole sort of like the Tom Brady facade, Like what's what she really like? Um, for the funny option, I want to hang out with Kate McKinnon. So if she was hanging out, we could just do we could just improv
skits together all day long. Finally you'll have that, You'll have a blonde partner that, finally that I can count on that has to stay in my house. Um, so that'll be great. And then also I want Neil Degrassi Tyson to just like tell to tell me like bedtime stories of just like how the world was created, and he could like I could just think of the funniest sketches with like Kate McKinnon, Taylor Swift on her guitar, and Neil Degrassi Tyson like, um, you know, like narrating
us doing simple tasks. And then my NFL figure, Yeah, but like make me smarter and I really am interested in that, Like the way that he does Planet Earth is so great. No that I don't have time for that, Um no, I do. I do like reading, but I think he'd be cool to hang out with. And then lastly, my NFL figure is Matt Ryan, and I know, such a shocker out of left field, but I did an interview with him for Super Bowl with Check two years ago.
Single handedly the nicest NFL player I have ever met, like took the time to talk to us who was there, like the little people on the side, not the interview. He was like, oh, how's your day going, Like, oh it's early, Like made conversation was super sweet, like took me back at how nice he was, so I would take my gamble with that. You know what's interesting about that choice, Matt Ryan, there's a flip side of that coin.
He is known as one of the meanest s o b s on the field in game action, and he's very He's known to be very hard on teammates who who go on the wrong side of him if they make a mistake or some type of mental error. So here's the only concern there. You got the nice guy that's doing the interviews on radio road at the Super Bowl. What if the real Matt Ryan is closer to the guy on the field and you're like trapped in the house with like a psychopath. Yeah, but like Taylor Swift
can beat him over the head with you. Your description for Taylor was like, I want to see what she's really like like for this exercise. I don't want anyone who you're finding out what they're really You have a lot of gambles, it's a lot of risks. Are you kidding me? You literally just who was? Who? Did you say? Megan the Stallion, Greg who seems very nice? But my real answer would be no one, of course. I mean the real choice of the I would rather be by myself.
But I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that's the obvious. Taraka's Taraka's point. We're gonna get to know these actual people, all of them. I mean, it's it's gonna be a bit of a coin flip how they turn out. Of all the people we mentioned, if this actually happened, when we all reconvened on the other side, I'm sure, um more than one of us would have a story of being deeply disappointed by one of our choices. That's just
no doubt. And Marks Mark's going to jailison as it's over, So no, I just I'm going in, Well, I'm going in extremely disappointed with two of the people, so they can can only get better. I like yours. Yours is almost like you're trying to reform them in a way, Lessons. It's a prison, all right. I just tried to google Megan the Stallion. Yeah, he made that name up right, I didn't know if it was Megan m a Stallion. She's literally, like, you know, the biggest ump female raps
there other than Cardi B in the world. I've never heard that before in my life for real. Yeah, I guess we're old. That's not that's you guys. You guys have heard her song. Huh yeah, you guys have heard her songs. They're everywhere. There's no chance that you wouldn't Recomprobably not in my house. You want to get give
me Foxy Brown. That's a female rap on. Keisha is now rapping in the background, so she's heard of her with an extra given Before we get to West's final thought and what's on his radar, I'm gonna spin through it real quick, Cessler Baldwin, Goodoh, Michael Irvin, Giananna, Giananna, Connie Fox Questla, Tina Love, Tina Fee, Michelle Obama, mark Ingram West, Ricky Williams, the chef guy, what's his name?
Francis Momon, Fancis moment say Christy Teagan, a little bit of a trouble spot there for aventually uh zeus or hater Grole, Jenni Fisher, Fits, Magic, Greg Padma, Lucinda Megan Misstallion, Teddy Bridgewater, Ricky Taylor Swift, Kate McKinnon, Neil deGrasse, Tyson and Matt Ryan. Maybe we'll do some type of social thing. Ricky find out who has the best forsome that Greg could put it together since he knows what does best on social Alright, alrights, you you got something that's on
your mind. So it's time for Chris Westling the mailman. What's on his radar? Here's what's on my radar. People writers in particular, who frequently substitute the word folks for people, human, citizens, fans, riff raff, whatever, yet have never and would never speak the word in actual conversation. If you don't say the word folks, don't write the word folks. Thank you. That's a great one. West. Is it fair to say that
Phil Sims and Chris Collinsworth are playing by your rules? Collinsworth, is I know he's been on your radar for years for being folksy? Well? The irony here, Yeah, it's a very Midwestern type saying, isn't it hey? Folks? Of course it's Midwestern and southern, and people who actually use it cool keep using it so you think, let me let me see if I'm reading the tea leaves here, people are co opting what is your region's colloquial term for, you know, good people. There's two things going on here.
Writers get tired of using the same word over and over again, So you don't want to say people every time. So I get that. And the second thing that's going on is you're trying to act like somebody you're not you. You don't say the word folks, so just leave it out of your vocabulary altogether. It's sort of like when people say that a player inked a deal, like get out of here with that. Also, signal caller, Really no,
I got it a lot of triggers. But we we do say signal caller though, because you just run out of things to say we use we use signal call field, general, out loud general. You have one mark. I don't know if you've been using it lately, but um I worked with you so long that I've read enough of your copy that you had one. It was a description for either quarterback or running back. It's like a hurler or do you have some type of a little outside the
box I've called a quarterback? All those things, because it's like you when you're in one of these stories where, to Greg's point, you're using the word quarterback seventeen or eighteen times. I find myself when I look back at some old stuff I've written, which is rare, I'm like, what the heck was going through the body in the system when I decided to use that ultra cheesy word like hurler. I mean, it's just embarrassing. So, you know,
I don't know Catapult, you know, third year catafl Flinger. Please, It's like a baseball sports writer from eighteen seventy seven. I want to say, um, all right, good one, Connie. You've said it all, You've game and you've done it. I love you, guys. I miss you so much. It's almost like we're hanging out. I'm trying to hug you through the camera. It's not quite working, and it kind of looks like you're trying to choke us. It's like
kids in the hall. All right, check out Colleen. She's all over NFL network right now and a reminder to everyone Tomorrow Friday, no podcast, and said it's gonna the return of the Around the NFL Twitter show. Uh it's you know what, it's kind of a trial run. We're gonna see how it goes, how we like it, how do you guys like it? But we're gonna put together a show that we think is gonna be fun. Uh, it's gonna be live on Twitter at one pm Pacific, four pm Eastern nine pm over in the UK, So

So if you want to send in a question or send in a comment or anything, you want a video, mean what whatever, do that and we will we might address it on the show. So check out that you're on the NFL Twitter Show tomorrow Friday. Any other final thoughts everybody. Hopefully not a trial that leads our ends in a death penalty for us, which is
another possible scenario. Well for you, sides of the coin continue or don't continue for you potentially, I guess hope none of us end up you know in the city in the corner and Marks basement. You don't want to be there, all right. We will now talk privately about whether we can keep in the gal Gado stuff and deck Mark legally or we'll go off as is. But
thank you everybody for listening. This is Dan Hansens signing off for the Quiet Storm, Connie Fox, the Mailman, the Old Boss, and Rick Hollywood in our old apartment till Friday. Check out the Twitter Show
