because I'm in a house with family and I'm trying not to wake everyone up.

Brian Murphy, it's Monday morning Murph. You could talk as loud as you want on the

podcast, but I'm just trying to like stay a little low key as I do the podcast in every possible unique location.

I've done airports, I've done in my car, I've done in hotel rooms, now I'm in the den of my in-laws house. How are you? What's going on man?

And then he comes out and he's just throwing heaters out there all over the place and Justin Jefferson has this historic game so on that side like wait wait that right there that looks like that looks like a Super Bowl offense well at least the passing game but I don't worry about running games when I talk about
