Countdown to Panthers-Bucs and Questions Around the NFL from the Curtain Club in London

Make as much noise as you possibly can. Now, the show normally starts with Matt Money Smith Um doing an intro. Money couldn't make it with us today, so I'm gonna give it a go. I'll see how how I do. The Around the NFL podcast is buying points for everyone in this room after the show. I specifically noted in the script that I wanted to give you a hug, but hell, everybody, what's up? To be more specific, Dan spind drinks for everyone. Welcome to another edition of the

Around the NFL podcast. My name very good. My name is Dan Hansons. I'm joined in the room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling and Greg Rosen all what's up? Boys? What's up? Boys? Hi? Diane? Wait, did you just do the west boys? My impression of you guys doing an impression of me? Spot on? How's everybody doing? That's fun? This is cool? How about that? You guys are the lucky few that got tickets within two minutes of it going on sale. Where are the women right here? Oh? Hi?

There we go there? Yeah, I see a woman there. That means we're wow, we are going through the roof. We have whoa, we have words of eleven women here. That is up roughly ninety nine point four percent from last year. Things are going well. And the woman that's so important to our show. I know, Henry Mentioner, but we're gonna say it again, Ricky, Hi, I know. I'm not gonna even ask if you have a mic because I know you have a mike because that was the

first mike testing exactly exactly, so we are is our everything? Okay? Boys? Do you want to sit down? Let's sit down? Sure, let's do that. Now, see how this is precariously set up just a bit concerning. I'm trying to fair o. Why with an industrial light machine here next you'll find that out a couple of segments away. Mark, you'll find sea. All right. So here we are in London again and it's so exciting to be here. Thank you everybody that

came in. And uh, what have what have I been our big takeaways so far this week our second journey here to England. Well, I think we have to start with the lead story right now. The protests preventing us from getting inside and outside of our hotel. We uh, we managed to look into staying in the same hotel as the governmental Gas and Oil conference. Good timing, Good timing. The only corporation less popular than the NFL as a corporation. Yes, and oh, by the way, I should mention the bar

is there. And I don't have to tell you guys. Your listeners to the Around the NFL podcast, you can get booze throughout the show. We want him to be offended if you get up uh multiple times. But yeah, not only do we are we dealing with that uh and the traffic that it's caused, although it's a beautiful city and we're enjoying it a lot of times spent in cabs. We're dealing with Ricky. We're dealing with the ghost situation, which I'm it's it's an issue, and and

we did work. We we there it is. I figured it out. If you listen to a show earlier this week, sounds like Connor's mansion. It turns out that there is a hospital that existed hundreds of years ago. And when a hospit it is open in the twelve and the fourteen hundreds, it's all about just getting the ooze out and then you die. Whatever, crack the skull open, get the ooze out and then wait. So their ghosts and then there are environmentalists after us. So it's been tricky.

It's been tricky. It's been tough. I really like how much we've blown out the budget here for the special effect. I've found a company, and I mean I generally side with big oil, and when it comes to the climate, I've got another twenty or thirty years to operate here on the earth. I'll be fine. You know they're listening. I don't get what the big issue is, to be honest, though, you know they're listening right now. Um, so we're really excited to be here, and today's show is gonna be

a good one. It's not you know, usually and Greg and I have talked about this privately because many private conversations. UM, usually a live podcast sucks in terms of like the listening experience for people that aren't in attendance. But we're going to change all the rules today. Maybe wait then you were definitely talking about West and I no, not just us, and in general, we we want to give you a representative show to what we do when we

typically have a podcast. So we have I have a whole rundown here if things we're gonna get to and there's a lot of fun. But let's start because it makes sense with the big game coming up on Sunday. Mark, you there's a new nickname Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium. Fine Spurs Stadium. I heard that's okay, never Tottenham Stadium and never ever Wembley Stadium. I learned the hard way Neil Reynolds, so I saw, yeah, he buried me over that. Um, but what is the name that you you're working with? Mark?

Right now? To house, Toddy House, Totti House, and it's you know, everyone I've checked with they've said, this is official, this works. I haven't I have another one. Let me know. I'm the big top. How about that. Is that doing anything for anybody? No? Okay, Toddy House, It is very serious show there last night for game pass subscribers, and it was with a huge superstar of sport that plays for Tottenham that absolutely none of us had an idea

who he is. And now I forget his name, Kyle Eric Dire Eric did you say Kyle not Eric Dyre fans. He seemed like a perfectly fine bloke, big Eagles fan, big Eagles fan. Uh So, yeah, with the game coming up, Panthers against the Bucks, why don't we get going with just talking about who's going to the game on Sunday? That's exciting, that's fun. Hopefully the driving rainstorm lets up by then, Mark West, what are we looking for? Uh?

In this game? What are you most interested to see? Well, Christian McCaffrey is playing as well as any running back in the NFL and getting better every week. He's putting on moves that you don't see anyone putting on linebackers.

It to credit to how already has worked. But they're also going up against a Buccaneers defense did pretty much down the Panthers the last time they played, and a Buccaneers defense that Greg Rosenthal will be happy to tell you ranks number one in football outsiders, run defense, d v o A, every other type of I think we're the two that like football here. Uh. I like that, uh that coaches for both teams I feel like do their best work or they sometimes like it. When things

are taken away. You can tell NORV Turner is having about as much fun as NORV Turner can possibly have as a human, running plays for Kyle Allen and Christian McCaffrey and doing everything possible with Curtis Samuel in the running game. And so that's gonna be tough, I think for the Bucks to deal with. But Bowls is similar because they have no talent at all in their back seven. They really don't have any pass rushing. Coach called them soft they and they are and they because of that.

If you just like watching Kama Kaze defensive football, Todd Bowls is gonna go crazy on Sunday and send six or seven guys at Kyle Allen every play. I mean, all I can think about is the edge of this chair is half an inch from causing a massive head wound to myself. But does the show continue of one of us falls? I mean, how does that work? Should we work out the logistics? If you fall, it does and if I do, I think we'll be all right. But that guy look over here looks like he's a

great T shirt. I think he becomes the new Mark Sessler perfect. Can you stand up a lot of a room that someone someone made a T shirt with all of us on it? Um. Some people say they want to see Christian McCaffrey live. I get that. I mean he's a premier athlete. I want to see the Jamis Winston melt factor, which can range from you know, negative one plus one hunter. We don't know what kind of Jamis Winston we're going to get, and just the idea and seeing that with my own eyes that excites you

with glasses on, it will be exciting. That's necessary. I saw Jamis Winston jerseys at the the Pro Shop and because nobody it's basically where I was going. My my daughter likes the Bucks. It's one of one of her favorite teams, and I thought about getting her a Jamis Winston jury and it just feels like a mixed message in two thousand nineteen to buy it. Yeah, that's one

way you put it on a hold. And it's been many, many years now, Jamis Winson, let's keep it on a hold at this point, maybe Mike Evans is the way to go on this um. This seems like it's gonna be a close game, because it was a close game last time, and Kyle Allen, for as excited as we got him and Danny Dimes both came out of the gate and that week at the same time and blew the doors off. He could probably stand to have a better game this week. And I don't imagine it's gonna happen.

I think that that he could struggle against Todd Bowls, the revitalized Todd Bowls, uh, and the Bucks defense. I mean Todd he just came and he said, it's a new day. I'm putting everything behind me. Let's pick this game. Rative Yeah, you give up thirty points every game. Narrative is essentially, we all watched Bucks Panthers one together on the back of Chris's house or which is a beautiful place days ago, and uh, I you know we were

getting a little bit loose that night. You were yelling Todd bulls at the top of your lungs every three minutes. And since then, I'm on Mark. Greg's love of football knows no bounds because there's no one else in the world that was screaming Todd Bowles at the top of their lungs on that night. So let's pick it Mark, you first, I'm gonna go twenty two to twenty Panthers in overtime. Mario Addison's safety of Jamis Winston ouch Panthers Bucks three Jamis throws three pick six three. Dang, Why

you gotta be like that? With West always wish casting against Jamis Winston, you can always count on it often. What do you got it? What do you got? Oh yeah, I have a you know what, I'm gonna counteract West's negativity and say Jamis Winson is the greatest game of his pro career. Five touchdown passes, narry an interception, and the Bucks roll thirty five. Just want to point out

that Panthers fans call it positivity, all right. And finally, Greg ros all, I look at the right side of the Bucks offensive line and in general that their injuries that they have. You know, they're they're missing a couple of guys. They got a broken leg at right guard. I believe they're missing their right tackle. But to me, there's only one doctor and only one prescription that can

solve this case. It's dr Rainmaker. If you think it's raining right now in London, wait until the dollar bills raining all over Touch Stadium on Sunday, when the Bucks drop a hammer and cover against the panther Desperus, there comes Kitty was supposed to thank you for the le Katie, Katie, Katy you you guys would have loved, because we kind of do have what would be called production meetings, pre

production meetings. You would have loved to know how hard it was for us to convince Gregg to bring back the Rainmaker. It was like it was like trying to talk Tom York into playing Creep again. He was like, oh no, no, it's it ran its course. I don't connect with that anymore. And we're like playing the I had to make deals involving future children, all right, So there you go. That is the preview of the game at Toddy House or the top either way, you just

whatever you choose. All right, Ricky, how are you doing over there? Doing good? That was terrible dancing by Greg, but I mean it was non dancing. I thought Katie was going to do a little singing and putting, Greg, Greg, we have eleven female listeners. Now, crap, I did it? You? You fuel me. It gives me fire. It's not just all men that look exactly the same anymore. Greg. Anyway, Ricky, what's going on over there? We got anything cooking? Hey? Our sound guy's name is Simba. How cool is that?

I mean, that's I'm doing great. I don't know what you guys are doing up there, but I'm hanging out. I think you're going to give us like a note about the sound, but you just want to tell him his name? How you guys sound like dumb as always? So you've totally detached from the production eight or nine minutes in. Well, as you can see, I just sent Katie up there to dance with an umbrella, so I'm clearly involved. Well, we have a mailbag segment to hit, right, Yeah,

we do. I got great. I was trying to see it up but I had to be pretty directed. Oh are we doing that right now? All right? I mean I'm not trying to be a jerk, but are you You don't have to try it, okay? Um? So I love you all right? So you guys, I tweeted out on a secret burner account that only has the most die heart of a ten fans. Damn, don't follow it, then you're not that cool. But it's cool that you're here. So I'll just read a couple of these. Okay at a ten fan boy. You guys all make fun of

Draft Day, but name a better football movie. It's remember the Titans, hands down? Interesting? Blind Side? Okay, blind Side a terrible option that well one of the sentimental garbage. Who was help me out? Who was? Who was the real life player? Michael Ure? Okay, Michael Or when the Ravens and Niners played in the Super Bowl, Uh, you know, five or so years ago, he got hit with an atomic wave. Because at the Super Bowl, these guys have to go through the media availability over and over and

over again, and imagine being Michael Or. We're all ninety percent of the people covering the game know nothing about football, so he's going to be asked about the blind Side over and over. By the last media availability, anyone that even asked him about blind Side got the depths stare. And I'll always remember that. As for the movie, I I shamefully have not seen it. Sandra Bullock, vehicles really since love posting number nine have gotten from I've seen it,

I wouldn't call it the best football movie ever. Sorry, person way back then, This does feel like a good time to check back in with you. Mark. Now Draft Days come out, yes, seven years ago, almost now, and at the time you called it, of course famously full of heart from start to finish. Now has that's the test of time? You know. I learned something, a very

valuable human lesson. That is, when you are, probably for the only time in your life, asked for a movie review of a real film, don't while at your parents house on a vacation in April off of three glass as a wine submit your review. It will come back to haunt you. And I don't even remember Draft Day at this point. It's like it was fine. The thing that really jumps out to me about Draft Day and I the question all we want to talk about is Draft Day. It's the only move we ever along. Yeah,

I know, is that? And again we have many female listeners now. But Jennifer Garner played a capologist in the film, and I thought, like, I didn't really play to me. She didn't seem to be available in that way. But if you are, if you're a completist, and we'll move We will move on. But there is an NFL dot com uh column somewhere on the internet that features Dan and I going back and forth, and I think it would unmask some of Dan's views as well that need

a little bit more exposure to. My general view was it's fine, alright, alright, Seahawks guy, we have another one. Yeah, we got a couple here, so let's move along. Hare boys at Seahawks guys. Nice says, Hey, hey, Dan, if you had to coach the Jets and could only make one trade move or hire, what would you do? Jets suck ha ha. That guy's that Um. If I can make one move, I would probably get Bill Belichick back. That counts all right. We lost him once and it

was a convoluted trade. The Jet guy, he gets it. What do you think Belichick? That would be get somebody that could change the culture. Good luck with your new franchise player, Antonio Brown. There there is no there is no sadder clap. There's no sadder clap in all of sports. Then the Jets fan clapping wishing that Bill Belichick would come back to them. Yeah, The question said, Dan, if you had to coach the Jets, so you'd fire yourself

after well, yeah, you know we'll be coming. Hold is the one day coach of the Jets to turn the team around. It would be memorable to be named the Jets coach and then announced that I was firing myself to acquire a Bill Belal hero. I feel like I would go a good pop with the fan base. That's a good idea, okay. At Baker Mayfield is my dad, Mark. I'd give up my entire family and extended family if it meant the Browns would win a Super Bowl, except

my aunt Bertha, She's the best. Would you give up the A t N podcast and all you've built together for the win? Oh? Wow? You know what, I'll tell you what sports is vicarious. They can handle their own business. I'm not leaving this crew. I love this sentimental Mark we've had the last couple of days. It was his birthday yesterday and I Sissler ragingly old at this point, West West, do we believe that answer? Yes? All right,

all right? At Jason cross West you're annoying, af and super confrontational, and your and your take about security lanyards almost made me drive a cliff my car off a cliff with anger. But you know more about football than anyone. So what makes you so obsessed with the Cowboys? Am I missing something? Good question? Obsession is strong? Okay. I just look at their team and they clearly have the

strongest roster in the NFL, so I enjoy watching them strongest. Wow, it's almost weird how these these Twitter questions are like giving voice to some of Erica's big frustrated and that she's saving me for last. Let's see what's next. Um, this one just pops up. That's at Eliza Mooney. I don't know who that is. Sounds real. Greg's voice is so annoying. I stopped listening to the podcast six years ago. I did too. I cannot listen to our podcast primarily

because of my voice. Yeah boys, all right, thank you very much, Ricky, Ricky, not even in the form of a question, just the statement. All right. Now, it's time for a new SEG called Interrogation Room, where I take a hero and I put him under the spotlight. First up, Greg Rosenthal, follow me son and sounds serious. I don't like new things. How you doing, Greg, I'm doing I have been doing great. This is a little worrisome. Sweating the spotlight is enormous for the podcast people listening. It's

very dark. Now, I get it really went all out. Greg. Do you like football? I do you like your favorite team? Don't you? I do? England Patriots six and oh huh, that's pretty good. They've played better. But yeah, it's been an easy schedule. It's funny, funny you bring that up, because there are some of us that don't root for the New England Patriots that sometimes find it odd the way things tend to work out with the Patriots suspicious. And I would I would call attention to the schedule

so far this season. Let's go through it, would you mind? Greg? Home to the Steelers, who pee down their leg at the thought of going to Foxborough, let alone on Sunday Night football to open the season. That seems convenient, convenient. You forgot how you said that would be such a great game right before it happened. Shut up, Greg. At the Dolphins, possibly the worst team in NFL history. Week two,

Nice way to get off to a nice start. Let's hear it for Henry Hodson again home against the Jets, who in the previous week lost their quarterback to the kissing disease and the backup quarterback to an unnecessarily violent hit from Miles Garrett and quite necessary. Nice time to catch the Jets A. I mean most times are a nice time to get the Jets. But yes, it was good. You're a funny guy, alren't you? Greg? You make the people laugh. That makes you feel good, right, the bills

on the road, it's fine, it's fine. The job at Redskins zombie Jake Ruden a day from being fired out of a cannon, out of a cannon, Na, your reports aren't true about how they didn't practice. I don't know what you're talking about. Finally, just last night, and who stayed up to watch the Thursday night football game? Is that what you? What do you guys do? Do you watch it live or do you watch it the next day?

Or do you not watch it? I would say about the crowd stayed up, that is you are very that's highly commendable. Um home to the Giants on a short week in prime time against Danny Dimes and a cleshed collection of Red Cross volunteers at wide receiver, tighten running back. Greg, I mean they they had the greatest patriot killer of their lifetime on the sideline. They didn't use them. That is their fault so far only before I let you go, Greg,

does that seem suspicious at all? That that's the way the schedule for the defending Super Bowl champion was historically easy for almost half the season. Now, well, Dan, we've gone through this, I would say three times a year ever since we started the podcast. So how the schedule works is the division's rotate. So the a f C East plays the NFC East this year. It's all determined ahead of time. The Jets have the same schedule, Oh do they, Greg, Because I haven't been playing that schedule anyway.

And you're gonna tell me the schedule quote unquote tightens up. But what the schedule makers bestowed upon you in week seven sev oh a home date against the Miami Dolphins, just in case any loose ends needed tidying. Joke, it's a little fishy. Get out of the chair, get out of the interrogation. Sure that is. Yeah. By the way, I hadn't absolutely total confidence that Greg could handle an interrogation chair because Greg Rosenthal is probably the man that

would be least phased by anything in the world. Right, Like, how would how would you ever phase Greg, It's almost impossible. I would welcome and interrogation. It feels like it'd be like a fun way to feel a little more alive. You know. Yeah, it's a little creepy, Greg, but uh, I get what you're saying. And there was a question put to us before the show was something about Greg freaking out at a concert and it was impossible to imagine Greg freaking out in front of anyone. No, yeah,

it is very hard. All right. Now, next up one of our favorite segments. One we like to call every want to take a guess? All right, what's more likely? And since we have an audience of thousands listeners to the podcast, nay, we are at net Worth right now, one trunk. When I say it, When I say it, you guys, give it all, give it all you got. Now let's time for another game. Up beautiful. We love you guys so much. Mark, get us going well, Actually

it's going to be Weston according to our schedule. Marcus not involved with an initial question on this segments. All rights is up in a game we like to call Chris, all right, I'm gonna need your help at the end. Here the Browns or Jets overtake the Patriots in the a f C before Tom Brady retires, or Mark wins his sandwich prop that Trent Richardson plays another snap in the NFL. Greg, I've never heard of what's more likely involving a sandwich prop. This is like next level stuff here,

all right, Tom Brady. So it's just they have to finish ahead of him in one season, just one season. They have the season than the Patriots before Tom Brady retired. Well, I'm always you know, voicing the optimistic tone to these Jets and Browns fans that on a long enough timeline you will win, not just be better than for six years, sure, but I'm saying more like thirty year, you know timeline. So that's probably how long Tom Brady will be playing.

I don't think Trent's coming back. That's more likely. Mark. I watched Tom Brady for the first half last night before fading into a deep sleep that had me convinced he does not play after this season. Oh yeah, you guys couldn't have seen the excitement on Dan and Mark's face. So when they saw there this morning and have their oh tom Brady's old kind no no, and you say a game where he had get Gregg rowled up. He started coming at me with next gen stats and all

this other business. And Brandon Bolden in the you know, five ft nine white receiver that had thirty five yards in the second. I'm going Browns or Jets topping the Brady phenomenon before Trent Richardson. I don't think Trent. I think Trent Richardson is like in a studio somewhere doing oil painting. I don't think he has anything to do with football at this point. So it's Jets a Browns? All right? You're not gonna answer, well, I my hope is obviously Jets are Browns and Trent Richardson he's off

the radar. Now. You used to get Rhoda World updates. Wasn't he leading the A, A F and touchdown? He was leading in touchdowns when he was averaging like negative seven point three yards per carry. So I don't think that's going to transfer well over to the highest level of American football in the universe. So I'm gonna say he gone. All right? Is Greg rosal Um two scenarios here?

For are you see? Now? I realized they say it after we talk Kyle Shanahan returns to the Super Bowl this year and avenges all the wrongs that occurred in Super Bowl fifty one when he was the coordinator of the Falcons. Or Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson returned to the Super Bowl and avenge all the wrongs that happened to them in Super Bowl. For I cannot think of a team that I believe in more right now than the Seattle Seahawks. This is an NFC West room here.

Who I catering towards or not catering the Seahawks? To me, they are the team that not enough people are talking about. I understand that Russell Wilson's getting the m v P buzz. There's no one in the league they couldn't beat. And I would love to see them go back play the Patriots again and get down to that final drive and change that history the way that other teams have had

a chance when they go back a second time. I'm gonna go Seattle too, And I will say that that there are two teams in our years covering the NFL that absolutely deserve an opportunity at revenge, and it's the Atlanta Falcons. After any Falcons fans they're all dead at this point. The last guy ended it four days ago. Um, sadly the window is closed for the Falcons that maybe it gets reopened at the end of Matt Ryan's prime.

So they're out. The Seahawks are the other team, and I would love to see that again because I think that is a ghost that haunts obviously Wilson, Pete Carroll, and I just think it'd be a great game. I think that would be an amazing super I never want to see the Patriots in the Super Bowl again, but if it's gonna happen again, give me Seahawks rematch. I am just realizing that my wife, who I'm consistently losing points with, is a Niners fan and had to watch

that Ravens Niners game in person. Sa'll deal with that when I returned home and she listens to every show. We Love you. Such a tough question. I've changed my mind about ten times since you asked it. Um. I love the forty Niners roster in their way they're playing.

It's gotta be the forty Niner. But oh, but I'll trust the quarterback for Seattle more and I trust the experience that the quarterback head coach Combo, and if you throw Bobby Wagner and kJ right in there, some guys on deep experience counts for so much in the playoffs for the NFL, I trust Seattle more, even though I think San fran has the better roster. Well, Greg just asked the question so you could answer it. So go ahead. But it's rare that we ask it and all three

get it wrong. That forty Niners, gentleman knows the answer. You go ahead tell us why. I mean that was enough. I think they're just more talented. I don't think the the numbers that say they are the best team in the league are that flukey to me. They defensive line is amazing, the running game is amazing. Do you feel

about the way the quarterback has been playing? He's fine, Jimmy G. Is not what you told me yesterday, Jimmy G. Jimmy G is kind of the sticking point that you worry will be a problem getting deep into a playoff run. But we've seen some surprising quarterbacks win the Super Bowl or make it to the super Bowl, And I really think the coaching advantage and just the pure talent level is there. All right, fans, all right, good sad guys,

good seg thanks to your help. All right, it's time to go back to the interrogation room with Christopher Westling. What is that it was? It was like kind of for jokes and giggles when I was there, but this is for real. Take a seat, Chris. It was unrequited. Hey, Chris, Hi, Dan, you put a high value on family, was? I said, hope? So I've got a big one come from the west side of Cincinnati, correct, Oh, I do, indeed, tell me a little bit about Tell the audience a little bit

about the dossier about the Bengals familying me. Well, the dossier the paperwork, Christopher. I compiled a case against the Cincinnati Bengals in the nineties the way most fans should win. The ownership acts worse than any ownership in the history of pro sports. So I have a dossier where I underline, highlight an annotated all of the things that my owner wronged me, all the ways he wronged me in my city, beyond the Bengals into conning a city into building a

stadium to fill his pockets. And that was the formal paperwork you'd file to leave the team as a van I did it made me feel better. West thought this was gonna be about Joe Flacco, by the way, not a not a lie, he wrote out. He wrote out notes preparing for it to be Joe fla I'm very confident in one Joe Flacco is going to be the topic. So anyway, you quit the Bengals, and you know, we

respect your decision. There it doesn't matter. But in reality, Chris, despite the fact that you say you're what was it football agnostic? I believe that was an agentive you guys put on me. I think it was more that I was a free agent. Isn't it true that you've been a Patriots fan for the last two decades? Really? All right, stop throwing things, guys, stopped therewing things place. I respect

smart football teams who play interesting games. So yes, I've been a fan the way they built their roster and play football. You carried that water, didn't you, Chris, up and down the hill until something happened, until Greg's decision to sign Antonio Brown. Greg greg and Belichick went to a whold out volcano in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and hatched the plan to bring evil into their locker room. Erica is there too. Erica was against it from the start. So you're out on the on the

Patriots down. They're dead, all right. So here's the question. If you are now a free agent in a world, could you really tell me, Mr family Man, that the Bengals could never capture your heart again, not under that ownership. Interesting? Oh one last thing, Chris, mm hmm? What is this? What is this? Dan? One more thing, Mr Westling, who knows what I was going to ask him about. What are you looking at right now? On the on the screen behind you? It's a multicolored map of the United

States of America, Mark Sessler. This map has been distributed by the US Census Bureau. You want to tell the audience a little bit about what they do, I will give you my definition. Go ahead. They basically go state by state, region by region, very defined regions county population, from village to town to city, state to it. That

that helps allocate where money goes. And it's very important to know if more money should be giving, for instance, to the Great Lakes region or the Southwest or the southeast. So the Great Lakes Region also known as the Midwest. Nice little grouping West is from it. He's from Ohio right here from people that obviously not from the United States. Below it, you see this TM that means Tennessee clearly

labeled southeast West. Who are you to play god and say that you get to take Tennessee to the Midwest? Getting ugly? Now? Well, you see, I wish I loved anything in Lion, which as much as you guys love lines drawn on a map for political reasons, got it up. Come on out of the heroine in chief Seattle. We see things more like climate and topography and lands that

were here hundreds of thousands of years ago. And if you look in a northeast corner where from where football started in america's pretty close to pit Spurgs, Cincinnati, Nashville, Indianapolis, St. Louis. The mad West from Nashville agrees with you in the fall, you're out of the integration chair, sir king, Thank you West, Thank you West. By the way, not into lines on a map, has like in his draft folder on Twitter, which I looked down. Breaking news. You're lucky, that's breaking news.

This just came out. The Denver Broncos signed fullback Andy Janovic to a three year, five point seven million dollar deal. Joto a lot of fans. Mark, you're in depth breakdown of his abilities. Huge signing for the Broncos. I mean, this is someone that it's been a very milk toast, stale, unwatchable offense for the most part, where the quarterback, who I'm not convinced wants to be there. This signing changes that. Anybody got something else there? I think he handled a

bit well. All right, when you've got a blocker like that, you gotta keep Flacco upright. It's a good signing. What's going on? Ricky in the mail bag? Got anything else? Yeah? Let me look here at Dan's hair really sucks. Okay. These Twitter handles, I know. I've tried to pick the best ones I cut too that you should have seen the ones I can't read. It's crazy, Um, Dan, I mean this is for Greg. Sorry? Greg, really knocking this one out of the park there, Ricky, she's a real performer, folks.

She is going to walk out of the room if you don't shut up. Greg, you have like ten different favorite teams? Can you just pick one? Or the Patriots are my favorite team? But like Wes, oh wait they just tweeted again? Then act like it again? What about they're the only one that that stops my heart, that makes me go up and down. But it is more enjoyable. And I tell my kids this, and maybe they're gonna,

uh not learn how to be a normal person. If you're watching a sporting event, pick one of the two teams to root for. It makes it more fun. There is no such thing as sports without rooting for one of the two teams. Greg, your daughter is becoming a Bucks fan. I would start to go to work on this board. I also told them when you score, let everyone know it, which I thought was a funny thing to say when they were four or five, and now

seeing them acted out as children is horrifying. Yeah, that's fair. What do you mean by that? I don't celebrate like celebrate in aye, let the opponent know who scored. You scored? Alright, one more real quick? Alright at official Lakisha Westling asks West, what's wrong with your hair? You just defended our West.

This is this is a true story. I lived on an island and the only barber on the island moved to the next island, and instead of driving over there, I just started to I just decided I would start shaving my head and it never grew back in and he looks damn good. Thank you that that is a cancer survivor who looks better than all of us. Thank you, Thank you West. Show them your ass. It's incredible, right, Lakisha.

It's a great hiding. It's also one of seven thousand stories West has that begins with I used to live on an island. Stan. You definitely do not believe that you were not the best looking guy of the forest. Who do you think is Mark? I think it is, Yeah, who's the best fluctuates from season to season? But Greg with the beard right now, it's been a seal. He's rising up the board, swarthy in a sexy way. You just choked on his water. It's so mad anybody but Greig.

All right, let's move on Sandwich prop time. Now we do sandwich props, as listeners know, before the season starts, um before free agency. But we're just gonna do one here at one each and last time we did this

in a live setting at London. Mark hit the prop of all props um at my expense, which I've really never forgiven him for when he predicted that Baker Mayfield would enter for the first time as a rookie against the Jets, and I'm gonna act like it's not burned into my mind, but it is and wipe away a two score deficit, lead the Browns to a comeback win and essentially end the Jet season. Uh, that was pretty good. I hate you for it, but that you really did it.

You you hit a home run. Well the crystal ball did not see what has happened over the past month plus, which has been a psychological disaster. Well that's fair. So let's go through, uh some quick sandwich props that we will they can check out by the end of the season. And I'll get this one going, all right, And this one a classic old Zuser form. It It just shows an ability to take chances, to take risks, to be

a hero. Since the Drew Brees will be in the m D P race, will well, I mean they got hurt. I will accurately predict ten out of twelve playoff teams right now, right now, all right here, they all take you up on it. It's an onion hanger. Patriots, Ravens, Texans Chiefs. That was tough. It's gonna get harder, trust me, Bills Colts. That's the a f C now gets tough, Cowboys, Packers always Packer spins, Saints very nice, very nice, sir, see that man out, he's yeah, see how Eagles and

this was tough, Rams and the notable snubs. Just to help you guys out. This man is very upset. Chargers in the a f C, Lions, Bears, Vikings and yes, the undefeated forty Niners. Take me up on it. Ten out of twelve. Yes, I felt more confident before I saw those names. I think you've chosen well, and I think, especially in the FC, there's not gonna be a lot of surprise teams. I like Patriots, Ravens, Texans, Chiefs, Bills pretty strongly. But I will take you up on principle

because uh, I know and and dr Rainmaker knows. Taking the field is always a smart bat. That's true. Greg always comes by logic. But I leaned towards Mark's side that the agent of chaos is going to make an appearance and injuries are gonna make these teams way different than they are now. I think that clearly there will be three different teams. In the Bears fan was so upset. I think I just realized because they didn't even make

your snubs. That's how down you are on Mitchel. That was an oversight, and I will since you called it out my notes, I will add them right now. What about you, Mark Seiler, Well, I know that you and I we like to go at each other like a pair of like toxic unicorns. It's a bit of a yeah, Liam and Nol scenario. Yeah. At times, I'm gonna tell you something you just crafted abut beutiful sandwich prop right there. Thank you. I'm gonna take you up. But I think

you might have nailed it too. I I'm gonna take you up because that's that's the only way that I ever win these That's how you play the game. But well done, all right, thank you, buddy. I just want to say briefly what a joy it is to do a podcast with Mark. And earlier today I saw written down on the back of a note card the words toxic unicorns. It just it's gonna happen with toxic unicorns. And now I know I don't write these things down. That's how it works. It's not always how it works.

This is like the Wizard of Oz when they I'm not sure. I wanted Greg to share that I thought it was delightful. I had no idea. That's how it works, baby, Greg, you're up. We're in the podcast business, and business is booming. O. My mine is simple. There's been a lot of talk about Cam Newton and Nick Foles not getting their jobs back. I will put a sandwich on that. Nick Foles and

Cam Newton will both be starting for their teams. And to make it a little more interesting, I'll make it specific and say week fifteen, they'll they'll both be starting exactly in week fifteen, or by week they will be starting in week fifteen. If just coming back seemed a little too easy. So Nick Foles will get his job back and he'll keep it through week fifteen, and Cam Newton will get his job back and keep it and stay healthy through week I like it. It's a good question.

I'm gonna take you because I don't think Cam Newton's getting his job back this year. Actually, I don't think Nick Foles is getting his job back either. It's been a lot of that. I'll take you up because I don't know where are you factoring injuries into this? That's that's the risk, Okay, Well, outside of an injury, no one is pulling Gardner Minshew out of that lineup. He continues to play the way he has the team finally has their fan base totally riled up for all the

right reasons. And I like Nick Foles a lot, but that is how you turn the volume down on that situation. It should be noted that the same Jaguars fan base believed in Blake Bortles once upon a time. Not this way. I'm I'm I'm picking on that. That's a long time away, and he's a rookie quarterback and they might wanna make they might not be doing too well by the middle of December. They burned me for one sandwich. The right play is to take you up on it, But I

think both those guys get the jobs back. There's a lot of money involved and they also I'm not writing off either guy, and I'm not totally sold on either of the guys playing in front of him right now. So no, I will not take you up West Chris Wesley, short and sweet. The Baltimore Ravens will not win the a f C. North. I'll take you up on that. I think the Browns are the clear threat. I know you believe the Steelers have a chance, and it's not

the craziest thing in the world. But I think the Ravens are an organization that will figure out what's wrong defensively as the season goes on, and I think they have enough offensively to be better than anyone else in the division. I'll take you no one else has attached. Uh, well, I have the I have the Ravens winning the division. So I got you on it. So let's roll Mark Finally you alright, So this has been something that's been on my mind. I'm glad we're doing another round of

sandwich props because I wish I had. I wish I had figured this out beforehand. Between now and Super Bowl fifty four, at least one NFL player will miss a game or more due to a run in with an animal. Now I will save him for last. To be clear, this could range from a simple house pet to a beast of the field to an agitated wing creature. To be fair to you, because this is probably the most probable, I'm eliminating insects. Real living animal insects don't count. Don't count.

What's a beast of the field exactly like a deer, an angry deer or something but I'll give you a few examples. Just it could be for in stints, uh not limited to this, so don't call it it's not. It could be one of these. A surprise dog bite that triggers ricketts uh bad stuff with a jellyfish falling off a horse near the town house, a player has purchased for his not talked about twenty two year old

side piece. A possessed bird pecking at a player, or perhaps an NFL player being smothered by a vaguely psychotic gang of beefy squirrels grown thick off processed foods left in an abandoned flophouse on the edge of town. What's something like this? And all? And we may not get the full story right away, but it will be clear that a player has missed a game because of a run in with an animal. Take it or leave it?

After last year, I can't take you. Yeah, your abilities to look into the future, I just can't take it. I think you're onto something and it probably involves a bear in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I'm worried about the deer situation to the southeast. Like I I know I won't actually get a physical sandwich, but we do keep score on go get my lunch, So I will take you up on that, just for that first Oh, I'm definitely taking him up. Yeah, all right, for the last time. We

head back to the interrogation room. Mark Sessler, take a seat. Hello, friend, Heyden, you know he just came up. Your boy Gardner minshew the second. Okay, you like him, don't you. I like him a lot, you really like him, almost like him more than my own team's quarterback. Right now, tell us why you like Gardnerments beyond the facial hair and all that. Tell us why I think he is the kind of person that makes an NFL season that even by week

six could have some tedious issues much more exciting. By the way, look at where the edge of that table is. Let me ask you a question. He is quite fun, you know, is there a reality or maybe you rather have a Gardnerment show over? Yea boy Baker Mayfield, because let me let me go on. Tell us the truth. Mark Baker Mayfield has never been a natural fit as a hero for you. Hasn't his swagger, his arrogance, his chronic need for attention. All of these things have always

made your blood. They've made your blood Boil as both an NFL fan, as a reporter, as a person, not as a reporter. These are clearly your issues with Baker Mayfield, and I'm done that you're projecting. What if I told you Garden Minshew could be a brown What if I told you that the sixth round pick from nowhere, you who rose up as a savior of the people, a man of the people, a humble warrior, worked hard, earned an opportunity, made the most of it all by staying

true allmall. Staying true to who he was sounds like a lot like someone I know, you know what. I'm looking at him. His name is Mark Anthony Sessla Anthony. I see right through you. You would love to be Gardner Minshew. I would love to be him. Yes, so admit you'd rather have Gardner Minshew, not Baker Mayfield, the guy that is antithesis of everything you like about pro sports. Not bending on this because someone's gonna tweet out some section of this video and I'm gonna have Baker Mayfield

on me if this gets out. Let me tell you right now. Let me tell you something. I would not trade Minshew for Baker Mayfield. I would trade a low level defensive player line Minshew and Baker Mayfield up in the same backfield. You're running wildcat, you're running two quarterback offense. You don't know what's going to happen. That's the way

of the future. Fair enough called innovation. Permission permissions across exam in the witness I've always wanted to say that I don't know if this is a courtroom but a cross exam. So come on, good cop, bad cop. Uncomfortable, by the way, this is what it was actually like when Gregg was our boss. That's same size standing up as Marcus sitting now. Mark how many meals have you eaten today? Mark? How many meals have you eaten this week? Next question? Mark? Do you like food? This is a

separate Have you ever eaten food? Have you ever thought that your lack of food is maybe contributing to your annoyance with football teams and football players and humanity? I rest my case. You're out of the chair. Hold on, this is such a Greg thing I have never in my life. You know, when you travel with someone you get to know real well Greg like you know he

has some robotic qualities. Eats three meals a day at the exact same time every single day and goes to the gym at the exacts It seems like a weird thing. I want zeuser in that chair, hit in the chair. Whatever. Ow, we're just freestylet please, what was not scripted? Is your favorite type of frog? Uh? The American bullfrog is my favorite type of frock? All right? Thank you? All right,

we're getting close to the end here. And by the way, we're gonna have a Q and ah, So if you have something you want to ask us, um, you will have an opportunity in a few minutes. But it's been such a fun, exciting evening so far. This feels like Mark a good time to maybe calm things down a little bit, just a bit, and get everybody and maybe

a different head space into a unified space. I think. Okay, Mark, take it away with one of your world famous meditation and I want everyone close your eyes to follow you. Now it's time to take a deep breath in and as you breathe out, simply close your eyes as you begin to take flight to that timeless space within where you find yourself in a garden by the sea. You are alone, but you don't feel alone because towards you silence. Along the garden path comes a hot tank Volkswagen Jetta.

It stops before you. The back door opens without even thinking about it. If you climb in and the driver she turns around and you recognize her face. It is Queen Elizabeth, the second two point oh Mark's and my dreams right now, smiling at you and nodding to the seat beside you, where a plump orange kitten sits nestled in a ball. You pet the kitty. It's fur is soft and warm. The little kitty purrs and climbs into your lap, looking up into your eyes with a big yawn.

Come closer, says the kitty cat. Come smell my breath. Gross, you think to yourself, but for some reason, you draw closer to the kitty cat's cute little orange face. How does it smell? The cat asks, my kitty breath? Does

it smell appealing? Queen Elizabeth begins to cackle hysterically and punches the gas and everything goes yellow and white as you awakened to find West and Gregg wearing nothing but overalls and spreading fancy feast chicken and tuna flavored wet cat food all over your body with big wooden spoons, meditation totally over. Mark Sassler. They call him the Quiet Storm.

I was raised without any religion, and when Mark takes us on these I go with him, and I think it's the it's the closest i've I've come to thank you for taking that chance. When I think about how all the ways the podcast can one day end, it could one of them could be Mark starting a cult and wearing red nikes with like a thousand other people on a commune and being the leader that they follow

into the spaceship. That's west in my mind. All right, before, before we wrap things up, how about a little Q and A from you guys over here for you guys, Yeah, thank you again. If everybody coming and uh yes, ask away and the bar is open, Oh they know, I know our listeners, Keisha, can I get a drink? I have to pick somebody. I mean, I'm not going to do It's one reason Westcott Lamar Jackson right there. Number eight, Hi, guys, So the Shadowy League figures have given you the power

um for one season. You can choose a set of divisions northeast southwest, one for each of you. Don't don't start up setting West here, But you can swap a team in the in the a f C and the NFC. Who do you switch on one? This feels like a Greg question. It's a great one. It hurts my brain. I've got one for you. You You know. I always thought it jarring when the Seahawks that I were up with, we're in the a f C and a very different type of team than they are today, went to the NFC.

It's just like I was young enough where I was like, what's happening here? This is destabilizing. I like to put him back into the a f C and see what happens. Patriots take a dirt nap and Russell Wilson, Patrick Mahomes fighting for the a f C West. Yeah, with Tom Brady using a walker, I like that. I know fans of tradition in the a f C East wouldn't like this, but I've always thought would be cool to have a Northeast division, get the Dolphins out of there and bring

in the Giants. Both New York teams, Buffalo and New England have at it. It's a terrible all right, who's next? Uh? This gentleman right here? I can't move that fast. Hey, dog, longtime listener, first time cooler. Um, good friend of mine couldn't make it to note and he asked told me to ask this question. Um, you will, and rankins that you did it. And he says, not mad enough to be here to tell me that his decision on jet should be no Wheen in number two. So how do

you defend that? And to the rest of the GUL, I agree with you. Uh, thank you, yes, thank you for the question. Yeah, I just think of being a Jets fan. The number one thing that really annoys me is when somebody says, to anyone that's under the age of sixty, well you got you have Joe Namith, you had Super Bowl three. No, nobody that I know in my life other than my father had Joe Namath and

Super Bowl three. And all my life, all I've known is heartache and suffering, and also the worst type of suffering, which is embarrassing suffering. Things that get people like but bumbles, like stuff like that, motto like things like that that don't happen to other teams, they happen to the Jets. They invent ways to break your heart and this season has been a perfect example. Um, so have to be a sucker for punishment. I think they've earned their spot.

People could say, well, they have a Super Bowl. I just disagree with that fundamentally because once you hit fifty years, half a century, Uh, there's a whole generation of people that know nothing but misery. Here's another angle when you work for NFL dot com and you go to a higher up and suggest the idea of pain rankings and they say, yes, you control how that operates. And Dan did a nice job with that. Thank you, Mark. Who's next? Uh? Dan? I'm currently dealing with the little CE. So West, how

do you think Dan coaked with the little C? And how is he still here today? Relevant for those who may not know, the little C is the common cold. I call it the double C. West had the big Sea cancer, which oh yeah, I mean way to battle, but the little C is the one that doesn't get the respect, and especially when your podcast host can be debilitated and go ahead, West, Well, I would say the difference between Dan's experience in mind was that he he

had more sniffles and Dan talked about his more. I mean that's the thing about the little sea and Dan is you you hear a lot about it. It isn't It is quite amazing. It is, yeah, an indictment of myself that you've heard more about my cold than West talked about his cancer. Ricky, I want you to you pick people. It's too hard for me to pick here. Yes, well I gotta shut out. Got a female here in an a T N shirt that is beatat Betty. I'm gonna come over here. Serious. I never understand what the

hell you're saying, so this will be funny. Um. Before I asked my question, I think we should send Happy Bathy tomorrow. Oh great, alright, not three one two three, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday, dear, where day to thank you, thank you, and many more. By the way, in the middle of that joyful interpretation, Erica have leaned to my ear and said, singing to the fucking Mike Mark, did you ever imagine in any world as you turn? I won't say what you're turning,

because I want to remain your friend. That a room full of men and a few women that you don't know, women in London, in London, well you know your children are half a world that I lived in Surrey for a little bit. If you didn't know, it's not that surprising. Were just by the way common cold references to Mark reminding people that he grew up in Surrey. Pretty close, pretty close? All right? Who else? Oh did you ask

your question? Oh no, that feels kind of like you're kind of questioning yeah, because it was kind of like, then we sing happy birthday, Mark, We granted you your ultimate wish, and now we must move on. You're you're kind of like the guy who, when Dan put up tickets for the show, responded, but it got the date wrong. That poor guy, and unfortunately we told him he got it where we gonnata. I gotta eat the poop on

that because he got banged because I was careless. So I want to give him a shout out right now because he was cool about His name is Joel Dowson. Uh, he's a great listener. And I also want to shout out who won? Jim Armshaw? Are you here, Jim? That'd be weird? Wait you here? Congratulations, he got he got

the trivia answer to get the tickets. I doesn't want to tell you that the five minutes where that was unfolding in real time, where Dan had too through a series of d m s tell one person, uh in the next person, Yes, was super Jo the back of the cab. We were We were in a cabin, Dan was This is the worst possible way that this could possibly happen. This is what I was trying to avoid. All I could think was my wonderful mother back home in the States, her thing that she said to me,

no good deed goes unpunished. All right, go ahead and ask your question. It's about me, Okay, job with that the question, Um, what's more likely? Dun releases the un released episodes of the for a Back podcast. Oh. Greg releases the tapes? What are the tapes again? West? Do you recall Greg was the front man for an emo prog rock band called Delaware in the mid nineties when Greg like not emo or not prog rock. And you guys don't know this about Greg. When he was like

fifteen years old, he had these huge trap muscles. He was he looked like this intimidating anthlete for the world. I met a lot of people in college that when met me, they said, you look so much bigger in the Freshman look book, which is not even a thing that exists anymore. Greg did this weird thing where he started doing steroids in high school and then only worked out his traps like a really questionable decision. I also had a badass you know, parted down the middle of

black hair dyes. It was like a punk rock style. But no, and it is true because we laid it out. We want to hear you as the lead singer of Delaware, and we put it out there that it would be a major charity. Uh donation would be made if you ever, if you ever released them? Are you going to play them today for the audience? Well, I've got a surprise for all of you. Welcome the founding members of Delaware.

One of them. I got another question happen hey japs um A two PARTA Where is West's toaster right now? And is there an appliance that could bring the game back. It's funny you asked, because when we were trying to figure out the trivia question for the tickets, that one

came up. Where is West his toast? Here? It physically sits in my bottom destroy at work where it stays since damnit check beat Greg to win the toaster and and Dave never came to collect it, so it still sits there with some Reggie Wing quote on it for some reasons, so surprising he didn't come fetch it because you can make a piece of toast with all thirty two Insignia's burnt onto it. I don't know. And a common question we get is what happened to Win West's

toaster the game? And people seem to think that Greg killed the bit because Greg likes to kill things that we love. But in truth, West lost the desire, the drive, and I'm hoping one day it comes back and we could return uh to some great challenges on the show. But that's up to Chris. Basically, if you make it to your fiftieth birthday and we're still doing this podcast, look if if Rainmaker can come back, the toaster can come I like it, all right, We'll take it. We'll

take more. Dan Tier left A yea, thank you. Um, So my question is more than a NFL basic question rather than your jokes. All of this guy's all business, serious jokes. Um. All of the talk about Jalen Ramsey getting traded from the Giants, potentially, why is there no talk of Josh Norman getting traded from the tanking Ridskins Because Josh Norman is not good at football. I mean, he's he's struggling. I think I actually put together a

trade canidates list and put him on it. And if anyone would just take his contract, I think they would happily give him away. I could see it happening. Gregg, that is your reader, now, you know what? And then and I talked about come on, that was the best one of the night. I'm with you, Mark, I've talked Jo. I've been upset about Jalen Ramsey the way he's handled this situation. And I would imagine, you know, Antonio Brown, the best wide receiver in the league, arguable, Yeah, really,

what what is going on on? He's out of football because he was a jerk? And Jalen Ramsey, who certainly hasn't done anything close to what Brown did or what Brown's dealing with. But I would just wonder Jalen Ramsey, is he a guy who's trying to get paid and trying to do you want to give a Jalen Ramsey a massive contracts seeing the way he's handling the end of his career in Jacksonville, I don't. I don't know. Well, do you believe people change? Yes, people change, But that's

a big risk to hope he does. Alright, a couple more. This one's for Mark. How many wins do you Adam Gates's Cleveland Brown's get next season? Oh my god? Question and done with it. It's funny because it's true. We got a standing room only question back here. I don't even get Yeah, nobody cares, guys, so so we obviously want a team in London. Um. So my question is this, if you were going to annoy one fan base in the US by stealing their team and taking it to London,

which fan base would you piss off? The Jacks? The Jacks seemed like the easy answer, the jack They don't have much history. Their owner clearly wants to do it. If they lose enough, I think he would. He would enjoy that. I could think of a team that could learn a lesson through a move. Your little Baltimore Ravens. Send them and I send them on a new train. Not the chunnel thing, but you just send them under the Atlantic Ocean. Let's see if they even arrived in England.

I mean, that's fair and I love it, But you do forget or people forget the the Balts. City of Baltimore lost the Colts are killing me with this truck. Eighteen Wheelers showed up in the middle of the night and they emptied out the team facility and moved to Indianapolis. It does not excuse what been with Cleveland. That was a disgrace. But how about we don't move any team and find a way to make it worth work with an expansion team or even add two teams to keep

it everything average. None of this ripping the hearts out of fan bases like we saw in San Diego. Why do the Chargers need to stay in Los Angeles? The Chargers do not need to stay in Los Angeles. I'm sorry. They can come to London. No he wants them here either. But we got another one back here. Weigh in the back, all right, you see me, you see me? Do see you? Got it? Thank you? Here we go. Hello Harries, Um.

You've had guests on the pod obviously. I just wondered if anyone right now or historic who you would love to have on the pod just to ask any particular question. You're sort of top guests through the history of the league. I mean outside of having Ricky on for like a full episode. Just into the wonderment. Little Debbie we've had her. Yes, how you're saying anyone not not like the best guests we've ever had, because that not be Greg Hardy two fourteen,

episode two twelve. How about I'll throw him out there because we were talking about him recently. Brett Farve, Yes, Brett far would be great. I think that the thing is, though, that you have to guarantee they would be interesting. Because it's a podcast. You're not gonna be seeing them, You're only gonna be hearing them. And I'm sorry, but athletes tend not to be that interesting. I would probably pick Henry it is. We love Henry Hotching, vice president of international.

He told me he actually threatened me when I got off the plane. Every time you address my name, you add vice president of International, NFL Media and her him. Last question, last question? Alright, alright, Ricky loves she's drunk with power. Right now, you got half of that, right question. Yes,

what does it gonna be worse? Pulling its seam that is trying really hard to be dreadful and is dreadful like the Miami Dolphins, or supporting it seam actually is trying to be good but is dreadful like the New York chance the shoe drops. Um, screw you, good sir. Uh. It sucks. It's terrible, and I hope things get better now that our quarterback Sam Donald is back in the lineup. I'm really looking forward to the game. All right, everybody, It's been an incredible honor to be here with you guys.

It's we said it last year, We've said it on the podcast, but we'll say it again that of all the incredible things that have come to us through this podcast, the thing that has shocked us the most and it's been the most rewarding, has been you guys. The overseas audience that took us in vouch for us, pumped us up, and we're out here if it's not for you guys, So we love you so much and your support and

they're fine, they're fine. And Greg, because he has the Vanity Project with jessel Nick, he is making a lot of money, so Mark'll he'll be handling the tab at the bar from now until midda. Either Greg or jessel Nick will cover it one or the other. Actually no, you have to pay for it, but it's uh. The bar is open until midnight. You could chill here. We'll be around if you want to talk, take pictures, do whatever you want. Thank you so much for coming. You
