I'm saying a lot of bad words today.

I'm going to watch it.

I'm going to roll.

I haven't been back at the office in a while, so I'm letting them fly.

It's the new lower desk I feel like brings it out when you.

It does, yeah.

Do you like the new desk?

I do like it.

Yo, what up? It's Wednesday afternoon. We got a podcast to do. There's news. There's Ask Me Anything. Ahmed Farid's here. He's ready. He's creative. He's bringing some weird things to the table today. I don't know what the hell he's going to do to me. But either way, we are going to take questions from the fans, AMA, got Big Phil coming along here in a little bit. The big effort, I know he's got to get things off his chest. He hasn't talked into a microphone in a while. So it's like a psychology session with him. Like he truly does need it. His weekly therapy. I'm not even joking. Like he really does need it. If he doesn't vent, it goes back to me in my personal time. And it'll be like 11 o'clock at night. And all of a sudden he calls me and he's like, wants to talk football. And I'm like, Dad, I've been talking on TV for like six hours today. Save it for the podcast. Exactly. Like shut the F up, okay. But either way, we're excited about that. We're going to break down a number of things.

First, some things in the news I think I would like to hit on. Okay. I know there was a few of things you were going to bring up as well. We'll get to some in the AMA. Yeah, good. My favorite thing about the AMA, the Ask Me Everything or anything, is that our preparation time goes down significantly because, you know, our listeners who are great out there. No doubt. Prepare the show for us. It is. It's like it's a good question. It's like we got a substitute teacher for the day. It's awesome. You're like, hey, we can mail this one in. I don't have to worry about coming up with interesting conversations. But I really, for everybody out there, I want to continue to do this.

I really want to continue to do this.

I really want to continue to have conversations, people to ask me questions, and let's all learn about the NFL together.

First thing I want to get to, okay?

I mean, it's a big deal.

It's big in the news, not only just because of

football and this little tie or marriage we have, but it's a social issue too. And the big thing

with me is the new, the new Jay-Z rock nation pairing with the NFL, right? To me, really cool, I think.

It's not only cool for Jay-Z and Rock Nation,

but I think more importantly, for the NFL,

especially a way for them to maybe mend some social wounds out there in the world,

maybe be a little bit more, you know, what do I want to say, just understanding of the struggles. Open their eyes a little bit more. Exactly, right, that everybody in the country is going through and things like that. And I really wanted to bring it up because I was shocked at just going through online some of the backlash I saw. So basically, I mean, we don't know exactly how this will play out.

Yes, right. What it looks like right now, the main headline right now, and I'm over at NFL.com, I was talking about it. Rock Nation. It's the entertainment company founded by rapper and businessman Jay-Z, entering into a multi-year partnership with the NFL to enhance the NFL's live game experiences and to amplify the league's social justice efforts.
