All right, everybody, welcome back to another edition of The Teardown.

My name is Jeff Luck.

I'm a writer for The Athletic, and I'm along with my colleague, Jordan Bianchi.

We are back after a split podcast where we divided things up for Memorial Day,

We appreciate their help. But now we're back to talk about guests, Nate Ryan and Bob Packers. We appreciate their help.
