We're back. We're back. It's a distraction. I'm Drew. That's Rod. They do. Rolf. I'm good, man. I'm good. I mean, I sound a little sick. I probably am a little bit of sick.

Everyone's a little bit sick. Yeah, I know. That's what I was going to say. Something's going around. This is the time of year where everyone kind of sounds a little bit of sick. Everyone's a little sick. Yeah, I know. That's what I was going to say. This is the time of year where everyone kind of sounds a little bit more like Christopher walk than they'd like.

Yeah, this is the time of year where, like, you know, because of my age and because of who

I am, like, this is usually when I get a light cold that lasts for like four months. So it is peak. You want to get a tissue season in my household? Like, if I'm sniffling, I get hit with a passive aggressive. You want a tissue? You want to do something about that? Yeah. Do you like the sounds that you're making right now? And it always drives me nuts. I'm always like, just tell me to get a fucking tissue. Don't ask. I also, this is all, I don't think it's all in the result of

12 hours of air travel. I also spent like two days on like a sort of college basketball and

mescal boys weekend, which was good. I'm glad I did it. But I'm not a young man. And while I think I should be expected to make a full recovery, this is, I don't know, I'm on a snap count, I would say, for the next few days while my body rehydrates. We have the perfect guess for that. So I'm going to give you a quick backstory. We originally were going to have our old friend,ailen Kailer on the podcast this week to talk NFL. But I woke up this morning to a text from Kailen. She had a fever well over 100 last night. And she's like, I may not be able to come on. I was like, don't come on. Get your rest. And so. Yeah, I'm not going to get sick doing a fucking podcast with someone with a fever.

Yeah.

So my dear, dear friend Matthew Coller of Purple Insider, has joined us.

And I promise we're not going to make this a Viking-centric episode because nobody wants to hear about my bullshit five and 18.

I'd like to talk about the league in general.

First of all, hi, Collar.

Hey, man. Hey, I'm feeling great. I feel very, very

healthy, well rested. I don't have any stifles. Maybe it's all the snow shoveling that I've been

doing over the last couple days. It like builds up the system. I feel very manly when I do it.

And you got a new dog, right? Yes, yes. You got a new greyhound.

Is it the only dog or have you added a dog?
