This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

The Around the NFL podcast is really phoning it in at this point.

From the Chris Wesleying podcast studio.

It is the Around the NFL podcast.

Ann Hanses here.

Greg Rosenthal here.

It's always a little bit weird when the, I call him the voice of God of the around the NFL

podcast.

When he's then on the show as well, it's almost a little bragging.

It's like I'm a voice artist, but I'm also an analyst of the sport.

Matt Money Smith, welcome.

And you know how much I love giving you guys the business and getting the business given to me. So a tip of the cap to Ricky Hollywood for playing the guys are really phoning it in when I'm the guy that's sitting on the show. You're sitting right here. Let's get a live read, shall we? I appreciate that.

It'd be nice to get a little live intro read. What's up, money? Thank you for stepping in. Also, the voice of the Chargers, of course. So you're a very busy man. Big radio show here in L.A. as well with Petros. But in the Mark Sessler chair, for the week four preview show, this is the first time we've done this with you

excited for this maiden voyage. Well, I'm honored.

Obviously, in the Mark Sessler chair for the week four preview show. This is the first time we've done this with you.

Excited for this, Maiden Voyage. Well, I am honored. Obviously, I am, well, I'm going to use the word obviously twice. I am pointing out the obvious. Cess, if you're listening, love you, wish you the best, get better soon. So I don't have to keep doing this because I had too much on my plate. way too much on my plate.

We're like, Greg, the way we are asking people for help now,

we... have to keep doing this because I had too much on my plate. Way too much on my plate. We're like, Greg, the way we are asking people for help now, we used to be once upon the time the most self-contained organism in this entire media group. We never asked anybody on the show. We never had guests. We never had anything. Now we're like hitting up all our buddies. And I think they're starting to get a little annoyed. Right. We have Claibon and Weiss are on the ATN broadcast this week. People should check that out Saturday mornings or Saturday afternoons in the UK. But yeah, it is that balance of like, should we ask Claibon two or three times to help us this week? And let's get money to take one of those Claibon spots. It's a delicate balance, right? It's a, because I want to be invited. I want to be wanted. I want you to want me. But at the same time, I also don't really want to do it. Yeah, it's not the offseason. But it's, but it truly is, you know, it's the scales of justice, and there's a, there is a balance.

Like, there is a time, let's say two weeks from now, if I hit up money again, it's going to be like, Zucer, I wish I could do it. It's just, my time, my time's too valuable right now. I just can't help you out next time. All I'll say is always ask, because you know, I don't care if I offend you by saying no. So feel free to always ask.

When it shoots from the hip.

This is meaty. always ask because you know I don't care if I offend you by saying no so feel free to always ask
