| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Audible. |
| 0:11.2 | I am Stuart Mandel, joined by Bruce Feldman. |
| 0:14.5 | We have on one of our all-time favorite audible guests, Coach Dave Wonstead, for you here in just a little bit. |
| 0:22.5 | But off the top, Bruce and I have to address something, and it's going to be a little bit |
| 0:27.6 | shocking for people to hear. |
| 0:29.7 | But this is probably going to be our last podcast together. |
| 0:55.0 | What are you saying to me still? Is it something I said? Well, I just woke up one morning and I was like, you know what? I really don't like Bruce that much. Why do I keep doing, why do I keep forcing myself to talk about football with him twice a week? Wow. Okay. Well, it sucks to find something out like this way, but... Did you... Should I have... We gotta move on. |
| 0:57.8 | Should I have made those feelings known to you before I broadcast it to the world? |
| 1:02.7 | Yes, you should. At least send me a text, the noble thing that most guys do. |
| 1:07.2 | Okay, let's... That's a joke, everybody. That was a joke. That last part was a joke. The part about us probably, this probably being the last episode of the Audible, was not a joke. No, and also, I think Stu, I think, I don't know if anybody they picked up on it. Probably they didn't about a week ago when you said, hey, if you're not going to get your questions into the mailbag, maybe this is the week to do it. |
| 1:29.3 | And so on Monday, |
| 1:32.4 | there was an announcement that came out of foxports.com |
| 1:34.9 | about a philosophical shift in the website. |
| 1:39.4 | And it, in fact, |
| 1:40.9 | impacts everyone who worked there or past tense as well as you and myself. |
| 1:49.4 | And so we've gotten a decent amount of questions from people either DMing us, the ones that we know or texting us or some people just tweeting at us and so we should |
| 2:04.1 | probably clear up as much as we can clear up at this point going forward in our |
| 2:07.7 | individual situation yeah so in terms of the the direction foxports.com is taking |
| 2:12.5 | where I mean there are articles out there you can find pretty easily but basically |
| 2:16.8 | written content is really not a part of that site anymore. |
| 2:21.1 | So obviously, us being writers, that affects us individually, but we're in slightly different situations. |
| 2:27.1 | So, Bruce, do you want to talk about yours first? |
