This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Park it right here, everybody.

It's time for the tailgate.

It's me, Joe Pizapia, with me,

two of my favorite people in the whole wide world,

Andrew Erickson,

and filling in for Derek Brown,

who I think is on a boat somewhere,

fishing, or whatever people do, with beards like that from the

South. It's Pat Fitzmorest, everybody. We are graced with an OG performance by my patty cakes

here on the tailgate today. Fitsy, it's so good to see you. It's nice to have somebody else

here on the show to make me feel a little bit more like a contemporary is available to me

because I make statements sometimes and Andrew has no idea what I'm talking about. I'll be honest.

Someone has to class up the room without a deep row here a little bit. No, just kidding.

But yeah, I'm excited. I'm from Wisconsin. I love a good tailgate. I brought the Bratworths, the cheese curds, plenty of beer. We're good to go. Erickson. See, no vegetables. No vegetables. That was our big conversation last week was like the overrated tailgate foods because we were talking about overrated players and we got into food, of course, because, you know, it's us. And Erickson's like, no vegetables, which I thought was odd because you look at Andrew, we've spent a lot of time in person with each other over the years. He's a very healthy guy, workout guy, all this stuff. But the tailgate, he's like zero vegetables. That's surprising to you, Fidsey? Maybe a little bit, but come on, who wants carrot sticks and ranch dressing at a tailgate party?

I don't want to waste my precious stomach space on rabbit food. There's a time for that, and it's not at a tailgate party. No, it is not.
