This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

The Around the NFL podcast won a Stitcher Award, I think.

Where the hell is that thing?

Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL podcast.

My name is Dan Hansis, and I'm joined in the room filled with some heroes.

Patrick Lebon, back in the house. Chris Wessling back in the house. And Greg Rosethal, what's up, boys? Hey, Dan. Greg, still in the house. Greg's still here. Greg's still here. It's important to have Greg. It's good to have the guy that he knows there. Greg's here. Wes, how was your occasion? It was wonderful. Couldn't

have been better. I feel like you crisscrossed America looking for a Reds win. Yeah, I'm still looking.

I'm still looking. It's not good. We ate very well, which is something I haven't been able to do

for the last year. But this was the this was the great fried chicken sandwich tour.

Oh, we just ate great fried chicken.

I mean, let's be honest here. And this is a good conversation to have with Mark. Mark will be back on Wednesday, by the way, so we should better get this conversation in now. I mean, pound for... Because it's related to food. Especially, but meat and a fried meat product. I mean, pound for pound, you want to talk about just a delectable, sinful, delicious sandwich, a fried chicken sandwich. Let's fly. There's a wide range of how well they can be made prepared for you. You can have some basic fried chicken that you'll never want to eat again, but the best fried chicken sandwiches. It's like, all right, I don't want to eat that again tonight. Your thoughts, Patrick Claibon.

Welcome back to the show.

It's good to be back.

I love getting that direct message from Greg Rose. Anytime you get a DM from Greg Rosen. Oh, you know, it's special. Oh, man, I got some juice here. And then he's asking me to come on the show. It's even better. I've gotten some lewd DMs from Greg, though.

It depends what kind of DMs. Who hasn't?

Wrong one.

The problem with a fried chicken sandwich, sometimes people go too much on the bread. Yeah. And it takes, it's breading on the chicken too. You got to be careful. Let me, let the chicken be the star. Can we just do that? Hey, absolutely. Hey, if you want to put a little buffalo sauce on it? Yeah. I'm not going to be mad about that either.

This trip reminds me of we once, my wife and I had a summer of fried chicken in New York. She used to have little projects. She would like basically make it her, you know. Your wife is chef. Yeah, Emeka. She was looking for the best fried chicken in New York. so we just spent the summer crisscrossing the city.

Not the whole country, but looking for the best fried chicken in New York, so we just spent the summer crisscrossing the city.

Not the whole country, but looking for the best that we could find. Very worthwhile project. Yeah. And? I think we found it. We had fun. I don't remember. I'll be in a record. I don't remember one, but it was a great summer. One last thing on sandwich talk. Isn't it true that you? Not quite as bad on the waistline as the summer of milkshakes.

Ooh.
