It will be, let's just say it's a wild ride. It's a wild ride of an interview, great interview with Adam Schefter. We're live from Indy, talking combine, getting ready for the combine. We did some training today.
We also will do Firefest a week. And don't worry, we did film an extra lottery ball at the end. So maybe today's the day that Hank will get it. I got good vibes.
I have, I'm feeling like this is the day. I really do. So I'm excited. We're gonna get right back to the show.
Okay, remember A is for asking. The questions that matter to me. Andrea, the doctor will see you now. B is for beginning the conversation.

All right, back to part of my take. Okay, let's go. Part of my take. Get in the buy and the bars.
Welcome to part of my take. Today is Friday, March 3rd. And we are live from the Combine. Indianapolis, Indiana, Hank playing Flipkop.
Max, get us some more water. Yeah, boys, Combine Week. We're here. We're in a magical place.
Indianapolis is I'm happy football is back. Football is officially back. It was a long week and a half kind of I guess the XFL was around technically. But yeah, football is officially back.
I'm I've reached the point where I think I'm I think I'm over a Combine Week. Maybe I'm just getting old. Maybe I'm a very old 28 years old. Well, I have some talks because you go on.
But I agree. I was gonna say it's it's a bunch of football guys that flock to the same place, go to the same bars, eat the same shrimp cocktails. Like it's like March of the Penguins. Yeah, if they're wearing lanyards and trying to bang waitresses.
I so I agree for a different reason. I just would like to do Combine Week but with couches. So I was thinking about it last night. We were at a bar and I've had the long standing take.
It's not like some novel thing. Bigger guys understand, not being able to sit down in a bar is torture. It's it's it's no different than getting water boarded. So I was standing at a bar for about an hour and a half.
That's usually my capacity. And the whole time I was like, this would be sweet if I could sit down. So maybe that's the issue is Combine Week just needs to be in recliners and couches. Everyone's sitting in a big circle.
Maybe dosing off here and there. That would be nice. You make a good point because I hate networking. I mean, but I think I would enjoy networking a lot more if there if it was like a living room.
Sitting down. If it was at a house party. Right. I think we pitched that to John Taffer when he came on the show about a bar with couches that were at like seven different bars at the same restaurant.
Yeah, we pitched that exact idea because I said I was like the problem with going to bars is if I can't find a seat, I want to go home. Yeah. No, I agree. I'm sick of standing.
I don't like standing. This is the most overrated thing people can. That's actually they should test players for that the company who can just stand. Dude long as Apple watch when it's like hey, you haven't stood up in a couple hours.
Shut the fuck up. That's my design. I don't want to stand. I mind your own business here.
Yeah. But yeah, we are in Combine Week. We are doing some I don't really think we network. We just see a couple of people that we haven't seen in a while.
Salarth or Smith. He looks good. He looks great. Chin like a Greek God.
We have a couple interviews coming up next week. We talked to Kevin Stefanski, which was a great interview. So it's always fun to come here because it does feel like the whole football world descends on Indianapolis. And it's a very different vibe than the Super Bowl where it's like, you know, flashy celebrities.
Here it's like who can eat the most steaks while they're talking about like free agency wearing the team-issued polo. So it's funny because there was actually one person I was very excited to potentially see. I still am. And that's Dus Gruden.
Yeah, I'm just on the hunt for Dus. I did see that Starbucks that one year. I saw him. I met him when I really met him.
I was starstruck by him. We got into an elevator together. And then I just froze up. And I was just like looking at him.
And he got off the elevator. I was like, that was awesome. Dus Gruden. So I thought that I saw him last night at the bar.
And that I was nervous. And Shay was next to me. I asked her friend Steven Shay. I was like, is that Dus Gruden?
And Steve was like, do you want me to go up and say, are you Dus, my friend over there wants to meet you? He's going to introduce me. Do you like any of us here more than a friend? He's going to be like, hey, my friend over there thinks that you're cute.
And then my friend would be me. And then I'd just be standing there like staring at him. So Steven went up to this guy and was like, hey, are you Dus? And I was like, no, no, I'm not Dus Gruden.
And I was so, the wind was like, totally on myself. He's the one guy that I've been on the hunt for. Yeah, that's bullshit. Yeah, it was not good.
Yeah, it's, and then we did, yeah, I mean, we basically, you know, you go to a couple bars, you see, I did see Sislyano. I think he realizes everything I've said about him. We were actually having a conversation about it after because he was like, I bet you he knows all the shit you talk about him. And I realized that's one of those guys that like, if I was in a hallway with him one on one, I'd probably be like, Hey, dude, I'm sorry, like, you don't understand.
The reason why I say I want you to hit by a bus is because Jake March just squirmed so much when I say it, like it's really nothing personal. It's really just Jake's reaction has elicited this behavior where I just want to wish the worst thing possible. Don't don't take it personally, but I hope that you die. Right.
But only, no, I hope you guys only when Jake is around to hear me say that. Okay. So right now, I don't hope he dies. If he got what if he got hit by a bus in Indianapolis right now, but you could text you could get Jake March on FaceTime.
If I was like a lot of FaceTime and while it's happening, no afterwards, like, if you brought got to break the news. I could be interested in that. Yeah. And then the other like the big combine news, we're just all waiting for Bryce Shum to get measured.
Yeah, waiting with Beat of breath. I thought it was today. It's actually Saturday. He's not getting measured till Saturday.
And I would assume he's just not gonna shit for the next two days. Yeah, he's are he's getting stretched out on a rack somewhere trying to do both. And so he's got to get tall and he's got to get fat. You can't get taller.
You can't get you can't be done. But I do think that there's some to be said for our theory that if you measure to the eyes, that's what's really important. You shouldn't the forehead is wasted space as far as a quarterback is concerned. Measure to the man's eye.
Maybe he's got high eyes. He's got high eyes. He also, I don't know what like his team is doing. There was a video of him walking into the combine next to a tight end.
You need him walking next to Andrew Sissiano or me. Yeah, just I can be fine to everyone that you basically have to Tom Cruise this, like make the doors really small. Yeah, in his, you know, make like a miniature hotel room and take videos of him in his hotel room, just being Andre the Giant. Pete Pritzco get Pritzco to hang out with him for a while.
I am interested to see how much he weighs in. That's going to be it's going to be a big deal if he like it comes in under 200 pounds. Well, the best part is Peter Schrager, a friend of the program, said that he spoke to multiple teams and they all had no issue with like his size. So I think it eventually will just not matter.
It might matter when he's playing, but in terms of getting drafted, I don't think it will be that much of a bear. I think he's going to go in the top five no matter what. So like if he maybe if he like is five, seven, one, 60. We should see that.
But still someone would take a first round pick on him. He played in the SEC and he was fucking awesome. So yeah, I'm more I'm more worried about what his weight is going to be because that is that is an actual factor where you get hit by people. Giants are going to be smashing you into the ground.
It would be helpful if you wait over 200 pounds. But he did play in the SEC. He did. So when is he going to get measured in Saturday?
10 a.m. It's literally hurry up and wait. Yeah, we're just sitting here. I'm just refreshing the feed.
When is he going to get measured? I want to see those measurable. Let's fucking go. It's also funny if you take probably everybody that's working out this week at the combine and you put them on the BMI chart.
Yeah, they're all clinically obese. Yes. Yeah, we're like probably better shaped than most NFL players. Maybe not skilled positions.
Yeah. Yeah, probably not punters. Yeah, I'll just say wide receivers are definitely not obese. 100% I think if you're like six feet tall, six one, and you weigh 220 pounds, that might be obese on the BMI chart.
Maybe. Yeah, maybe such a crack of shit. It's also going to be very funny. Whatever Bryce Young weighs in and his height is at.
Everyone just gonna be like, that's bullshit. That's not real. Yeah, no matter what. Yeah.
Like he could. I think people actually want like they are wishing for him to be five six. It'd be very funny if he was listed at Alabama as being six feet tall. It's so funny how in college media guys, you can just make up whatever you want.
Yeah. You can just write down a number, nobody will ever check it. Yeah. You should weigh in at the North Pole.
You weigh more at the North Pole than you have to be greater because of the bulge. Yes, that's true. Well, so let's get that's where you should do is pro day. Yeah.
All right. What else is going on? I mean, we have there's Jalen, Jalen Carter. That was not good.
Yeah. Official statement by part of my take. If you are located and leaving the scene of a vehicular was not a homicide, just a death. Death.
Double death shouldn't do that. Not good. Shouldn't do that. Be better.
Yeah. That's our official statement. There's room for growth. Be better.
Yeah. And again, it's another situation where everyone takes their like pause to say, Oh my God, this is horrific. And then he'll still go top life. Oh, yeah.
I mean, he's he's a free. Right. And he released a great notes app. His notes app.
I've never seen this before. It started with the word statement. Yeah, which was nice of him to clarify what it was. It was all caps.
Not good. And then he switched it to a very serious font. Yes. So as far as it didn't crop, it didn't crop.
That's my big issue. Everything else he tried to format it to make it look as professional as possible. Yeah. While still taking a screenshot of your phone.
And it looked like it was taken from a screenshot of a phone that was an android maybe because the dimensions were all on it. Right. And it's a very sad story, but it's also the NFL loves these stories where something bad happens before they become the get drafted. So it can literally be like not my problem.
It doesn't make me laugh thinking back about about the Laramie Tunsel thing where he got the video came out of him smoking weed in a gas mask. Yeah, on draft night, like right before the draft started. And then every team was like, well, we can't be seen drafting this guy. He smokes weed.
Well, it was the gas mask. I think if it was just a joint, it would have been a little different. He did look as a visual. He did look a little bit like like a terrorist because he had the mask on and then he had the Confederate flag behind.
Here's the thing. It's kind of like the ISIS itself. And here's the thing. If you're smoking weed out of a gas mask, that wasn't your first time.
And that'd be like the gas mask is like five or six steps down the weed ladder where it's like you really like to smoke weed. Again, I have no problem with that. But you like, you know what I mean? Like you start getting very creative.
Like a gravity ball and gas masks are both kind of in the same category where it's like you got bored with smoking weed, which is almost impossible to do. Yeah, my concern is less the gas mask and more that he was videotaping himself ripping a ball out of a gas mask. It's cool. No, it's cool.
No, it's not. It's on your friends. No, it's cool. It's cool to do.
But it's it's kind of corny behavior. Oh, I don't know if you take a video of yourself. No, I'm smoking a gas mask. My boys don't know about it.
That's instant giggles on the gas mask and don't send it to me. I'll be offended. Yeah. Okay.
It's actually way it's way bigger of a loser move to smoke out of a gas mask and just never have proof of it. I don't know about that. Yes. No, dude.
If you're alone smoking with a gas mask, I'm not out here for clout. I'm not out here for clout. Yeah. No, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Right. I'm not. It does drugs on camera.
Yeah. It's really. Yeah, I'm here for clout. There have been times when I have smoked out of gas mask and didn't record it.
Not recently. Okay. Yeah. For cell phone videos, we're true.

Seems like the Ravens are kind of falling apart because they got an F minus in strength and conditioning. And then they had multiple players tweet today being like, yeah, I never was injured came to Ravens got injured. Shot Bateman was basically like stopping the finger and us like you guys get us injured all the time. If you look back on the last two years of the Ravens being the most injured team in football, something weird is going on there.
And it's actually vindication for us as stupid fans whenever we see a bunch of soft tissue injuries. Yeah, we're always like, they should fire that trainer. Strength and conditioning is a problem. I think maybe it is actually a problem with Ravens.
And I actually don't, I know you don't want to talk about this because the commanders were the last but they did not lose in this because the stories that came out of it were the rats in Jacksonville. And then the big story was the fact that the Cardinals charge for dinner. Yeah, there's that's an insane thing. Let's be honest, the big story that came out of it was the commanders getting F minus, which isn't really a grade.
And F minus doesn't exist. They made up a straight up. They made up a string stuff. Yeah, or strength.
I think that may be better than the Raven. Yeah, they did get, they did get an F in treatment of families, which seems like a pretty, pretty important thing to be above an F in is how you treat families. Yeah, the Jags were an F in that and it was because players' wives were breastfeeding on the floor of the restrooms in the stadium. They didn't give them a space.
They didn't have a space for that. Well, I just think that an F minus. Thanks. Okay with that.
I'm saying that makes sense while they got F and the rats, they had multiple weeks, they said of rats. So I ran the numbers. I ran the numbers on the Jack. Yeah, get a Jaguar to just patrol.
What a Jaguar in the fucking locker room. I ran the numbers on what the GPA should be. I took all the commanders' grades and put them into a formula. And then I even included F minus as being worth negative point five on the GPA scale.
And they ended up with a point nine. So an F plus is what they should have gotten. F minus doesn't exist. If you get an F minus, that's Goodell saying, I should drone strike your franchise.
It should not exist. But here's the thing, like everyone expects the commanders to be the lowest part of the lowest rated team. The stories, like the Bengals, off days, don't, you can't even get a banana. That's what they said.
They're like, if you show up, they tell you to come in and train in the off days on like Tuesdays and the season and the cafeteria is completely closed. If you wanted a banana or a Gatorade, they don't have that. Making you pay for meals is bad. It's really bad.
The rats exist in nature. Some people eat them on the streets of New York, according to a video that I saw. There's a long line to wait for the chargers' showers. Yeah, that sucks.
There should not be a wait for a shower. If you're a professional. Like those are the stories. How is that because they sure are stating with the ramps?
No, no. So their facility is under construction, so they're in a warehouse right there. Their practice facility is under construction. There was a part of the commanders that said they don't have hot water.
That's another thing that should probably be important to have as a sports team. Also, cool plungers are back in. Joe Rogan taught us about that. Oh, that was our day with a cool plunge.
And boom, you're going to kick anyone's ass. I was actually the chargers said that the cool plunge is never cold. It's not cold enough. That would be a plus for me.
That's so brutal. They'd just be like, all right, go on cold therapy. And they just had, and they said the hot tub didn't work a lot. So they just have two lukewarm bodies of water in the facility.
I just think enough minus is it's rubbing salt in the wound. Yeah. F minus. Come on.
But that was, I mean, it's cool. I think this is the first year they did this, where they did a full, it was almost more than half of the players, you know, commented on the poll, totally anonymous. Hopefully teams will be like, oh shit, maybe we, maybe we are getting everyone injured. Right out the Vikings.
It just, the Ravens are the real story because they're in the middle of talking to little Marjaxon who has been injured the last two years. And now players are saying like, yeah, there's strength. I think there was one guy who said he tours ACL and they had him doing leg, single leg strength exercises five months later. And he's like, it still hasn't sat right with me.
That shit is like real shit. The free agents definitely should pay attention. They talk to each other also about the guys like, yeah, you don't want to go here. They don't care about your health.
Right. I think Matthew Judon says, like, I told the, I told my friends on the Ravens that they should fire their strength coach like two years ago. Who is this guy? We got to find him.
He seems kind of awesome. He's probably like the best. Oh, he met him. We built his guy.
I would run through a brick wall for this guy. And that's probably something that he has you do when you're rehabbing from a concussion. Yeah. All right.
Other sports. Big story in the NFL. Jerry Richardson passed away. Oh, yeah.
I am wearing jeans for jeans Friday in his honor. Yeah. So he's out and then another Jerry. He's fully out.
Fully out. Very interesting way to talk about someone. He's out. He's out.
Dead. Yeah. Jerry Jones has a lawsuit that's just been reinstated against him for grabbing a woman in his box and then forcing her to kiss him. And that got thrown out a while ago.
Now it's back in. So I'm gonna say that happened. I've seen enough of the judge of like, wait, Jerry Jones, grab the woman in his box and try it. Yep, that happened.
It allegedly definitely happened. And Jerry, at this point, you just have a sign up. You know, when you go like into a place where they're filming a TV show, it just should say like by entering the suite, you consent to being grabbed or having an 80 year old stuck on your face for a couple more. That's that takes like legal work.
You need to learn to set that up. Just have a sign outside of his suite that just says kissing booth. Yeah, kissing booth. I mean, that's legally binding by going to a kissing booth, or maybe just line the entire ceiling with mistletoe by yeah, there's nothing that they can do about that by entering the premises.
You agreed to be softly more by building it. Yeah. I do want to shout out Stephen A Smith. He pretended to take a nap today on first take when they were talking about Aaron Rodgers.
I stand with Stephen A Smith. I'm sick of talking about Aaron Rodgers. Okay. So that's my Aaron Rodgers update.
I like that. Like dude, stop holding everyone hostage. He was he really handed up like he was snoring like fully out. He's like, sorry.
I don't really care about this. How awesome would be if just no team wanted Aaron Rodgers next year? It would be great. It would be great.
It should band together. The owners should form a union. Yeah, I guess that is the NFL. Yeah.
All right. Other sports LeBron is pretty much done. Three weeks. Three weeks will be real that reevaluate.
He's got a tendon issue in his ankle. So we're down to nine important games for LeBron. Yeah, he's it's this later season is over. But what if the Lakers got good with that LeBron?
They could. Do you think he LeBron would hate that? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
He would absolutely hate that. Kevin Durant's back. That's good. That's good.
Sounds are going to be a problem. Circle that until Chris Paul and Kevin Durant get injured again. They're a problem. They're going to be the best like would have showed a team if they don't win the title.
Like man, if they didn't get into it. They're going to win though. They're definitely going to win. They're definitely going to tell.
This is your for Chris Ball. No, you don't think so. You don't know. You're back and first.
Yeah. Nice. Congratulations. Like one day out of first place.
It was a long, long day. It was the longest day of your of your life. Oh, there was also something else that came out of Mike McCarthy's breast conference. He said that him and Kelly Moore had conflicting opinions on how to run Hank's Cowboys last year.
Had to run the offense. Kelly Moore wanted to score points as many points as possible. And Mike McCarthy said not always are points good. You need to be able to run the ball and run.
He's even said run the damn ball. Okay. He said I wanted to run the damn ball and Kelly Moore wanted to score points in this office. That's a translation Mike McCarthy saving his job with Jerry Jones.
Oh, for Jerry Jones pages, he got a lot of money and was like, we need to run the ball. Yeah, he said Mike McCarthy thought the Cowboys problem was they scored too many points. That's it could be score too many points. He was saying it under the guise of I wanted to rest my defense a little bit more often.
Yeah, but Mike McCarthy, I mean, for being such a, you know, he's like a die hard analytics guy. Yeah, he spent he spent $9.99 a month on his profile. No, no, no, no, dude, he definitely went to $99. He went premium.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So he's a big, he's a big numbers guy, right?
That would be funny though, if he didn't go premium. And he just tried to guess because you know how they like lock the premium. Yeah, they lock like the grades. And he was like, well, I think this might be the ranking.
He just uses incognito mode. Oh, he's got like three different phones that you can open up. And that's why the Cowboys tail off at the end of the season because he's, he's used all his free articles. Yes.
Yes. That's exactly what happens. It is funny to hear Mike McCarthy be like, our problem was killing more was too focused on scoring points. No shit.
Mike, he's the offensive coordinator. Yeah. All right. So the other other thing I had was a dude's rock moment that I told you about last night PFD, Illinois, Matthew Mayer was out with caffeine poisoning.
So he said he drank five monster energy drinks while playing video games on Sunday after the Ohio State game. And his first day of practice, Wednesday, that's just a total dude's rock. That's a long, long time to miss with caffeine. I mean, he just, he just fucking got locked into a game.
What are you going to do? He got really hyper. Yeah. And then when they have like heart palpitations, it is fun to get rehydrated.
What do you do if you have caffeine poisoning? Because a lot of these like dumb injuries, like the baseball dumb injuries, I'm always like, why would you even, why would you even admit it? Right? But this one, you should admit because I think everyone stands with him.
It's like, all right, dude, if you're gaming and you, and you're doing well, and you got to stay up. You should have tried rock star energy as a heated, heated gaming moment. Yeah. I think that is not what Myers Leonard said about this about his back.
Yeah. Where is he? He signed a 10 day, maybe with a box. Oh, I was going to say jazz would have been good.
Yeah. Oh, they would have loved him. Yeah. That would have been a good place.
Maybe with the box. Also, Illinois. Team box box team up with the guy Reese. Yeah.
All right. What anything else that we missed? Let's see. No, that's it.
We literally covered everything in sports. Everything in sports tournament week is coming and it's already happening. Shout out. This is also Peter Schrager.
I think reported this. I was state pass rusher Will McDonald the fourth. I think that's how Roman numerals work. Ivy came down with a fever close to 104 degrees on Tuesday evening.
He's insisting on working out today, despite still being sick and losing weight over the past four years. That's a very that's a very high fever. Yeah. But also like I always state pass rusher insists on practicing through fever.
I'm sold. Yeah. I've seen everything I need to see. High motor guy.
That's all like I mean, the the Bears entire draft strategy is they have a hotel suite with ping pong darts and like pool and they're just testing everyone's competitiveness. And putt putt. Yeah. I would prefer a guy that's not great.
Yeah. But that's actually one of those sneaky ones where it's like if this guy's lights out at putt putt putt kind of a creep. Yeah. But just compete.
Just see how they compete compete compete. That's something like small stream stadium. Yeah, it does. That'd be funny.
If we actually if we were if we were GMs of a team and we were drafting players to have them play uh Jenga versus Frank the tank would be the ultimate test of their mental toughness. Yeah. If you can stay in the war 54. Yeah.
I would uh yeah. I would pay good money to see that. Yes. Yes.
That would be incredible. And have Frank just come up with songs for him. Yeah. I would do the thing where it's like I would the lines that don't concern themselves with opinion sheep.
I would actually have that I would have the sheep. Yes. In my interview room and see if they paid attention to it. Yes.
Yes. Absolutely. All right. Let's get chef.

Okay. Here he is. Adam Scheffter. Okay.
We now welcome on a very special guest. It is a annual tradition. We're in Indianapolis for the NFL Combine. And we always have Adam Scheffter on the show, Chef D, where the fuck is the desert tape?
Let's just start. Let's just get right back into it. Where's the dad? We'll do this every year for the next 25 years and I'll be like, give me the desert tape and you'll be like, well, guess what?
I don't have it. It still hasn't surfaced. Okay. All right.
It's the last so bad. Excellent use of the passive voice there. Why has it not surfaced? You have it in one of those two phones.
It's sort of like one of these tapes that's like missing underwater at sea and one day surface. Like, I was just thinking that I met Sam Ponder's mom at the Super Bowl. She was on the set the last day. She's an archeologist.
So she'll find it for us. Tell me that they uncovered something in Israel, in Israel where she spent six months of the year, some stones and rocks from pre-story times that prove that certain people she may have. Yeah. That's probably how she found the 20, 30 episode of Barstool Pickup.
That's exactly what happened. Goddamn it. Now we also say this. What's also funny is I have my own podcast.
Yes. I don't think I've ever been stopped by anybody to this day having that podcast for five years. You said to me, Hey, Adam, really like your podcast. But I stopped innumerable times by people who say, Hey, I love your PMT.
I love this. That's our favorite thing that we hear. Yeah. Like that's the best.
It's so true. We have you trapped now. That's the thing. Our fans are best publicity because when they do that and they reaffirm to people, it's like, yeah, that was fun.
Those guys are fun. I've never had anybody stop me and say, really enjoy your podcast. I'll show you what's going on in India. Well, everything is being held up right now by the quarterback in Green Bay.
Yeah. But he's out of the darkness. Once that happens, he's the first quarterback domino. Then all the other quarterback dominoes we get to fall.
We're waiting on Rogers. We're waiting on Derek Carr. We're here in India himself. Lamar Jackson.
We got a bunch of quarterbacks, right? That Nathan Peterman, Nathan Peterman, Blake Bortles. Hi, Nicki. Yeah, Bortles retired.
Did you report that? You guys are the Blake Bortles whispers. You guys are the ones that are on that. I'm not gonna try to compete.
Yes. It's an area that I had no luck, no shot of competing in. As far as Aaron Rodgers goes, I remember way, way back in the day, old school journalism. Dan Rather went on the air and he took heroin on the air to describe what it's like because it's a new after Dan Rather do that he did heroin on the air.
Yeah, on the radio. He had a sheriff that locked him in a dark room administered so then he described the effects on the air in order to get in Aaron Rodgers brain. Would you ever drink a wasket tea and then try to predict what he was going to do? Well, I would say this.
I know people were discussing that darkness retreat. I would love to go on a darkness retreat. So we said for like, honestly, you're a father of two kids. Yeah, right?
It'd be great. How many kids you have to take? Zero. My fictional son, Chris.
He loves a live tour. There you go. Okay. But anyway, you would know it would be like to escape Chris.
The idea of what an asshole. The idea of going into darkness for four days. Yes. That's what I said.
You would get stressed out though. You would. Yeah. Imagine because there's an understanding you're going in for four days.
You're going for four days and it's like no phones. Where's four days for you to go in? Well, on the calendar year. It would be the first week of the three agencies.
No question. No question. Yeah. You know, a couple of years ago, a few years ago, I was invited to the Masters for the first time and my friends were going to be down.
I went down there and I was like, it was right towards the end of the pandemic. I didn't travel though. It was the first trip. Fly down there.
And it was really hard to leave your family at that time. Hard thing to do. Leave work behind. So I'm going to go to the course.
I'm going to go to the course. I can get great. Leave your phones. Yeah.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what? Yeah, you were like the scene of Tony Brasko when he wouldn't take his boots. We weren't going to tell you that in advance because we knew that that would make you not make this trip. Yeah.
So you would leave your phone for three days of the Masters. Literally nothing. No access. And when that first happens, what you find is that you're you're sticking your hand in your pocket.
Yeah. It's like someone trying to quit cigarettes. I imagine you get the shakes like you're reaching into your, you get the pocket. The phantom vibrations on your leg.
Do you think your phone is going off but you don't even have your phone? Exactly. Exactly. It was a very weird sensation.
So but to go into darkness for four days, no phones? Yeah. You do it. You like it.
So what's what's the latest though? It feels like Aaron Rogers is knocking me on the Packers next year. Is that a fair assessment? You know, here's the thing.
This has been going on now for three years. Right. And I would have thought two years ago that he wasn't going to be on the Packers that year. And the two sides circled back and all of a sudden he shows up at training camp.
But then last year there really wasn't a lot of talk about it. They get the contract extension done. He stays. And then this year there seems to be more and more smoke to the fire.
And it's remarkably similar how much his case is like before his case. Same age. Same years. And it's almost like history repeating itself.
He ultimately has to be the one that's going to break up with them. And I think there are people around the league who believe that they, the Packers are perfectly fine with that. Yeah. Here's the thing.
You got two quarterbacks there. So if Rogers says I want to come back, guess what? Now we're going to spring a leak on Jordan Love. Right.
