I always have stuff in the owners meetings

that I'm out here in Arizona, some videos as well. But in a minute, I'll be joined by J.P. Finley as we talk about what we heard today on Monday from Coach Dan Quinn, owner Josh Harris, and general manager Adam Peters. So stay tuned for that. And really don't have a whole lot else to add before I get to that point. I will say I'll be back on Tuesday with another podcast, Tuesday night, and then Wednesday morning with the video, and then later in the week, because I have to go back to Ohio for some personal stuff. So anyways, I'll take care of you later in the week. And by the way, if you're wondering why I'm only using one mic and passing it back and forth, a wireless mic between JP and I, because there was an issue with we recorded it the first

time. J.P. was good enough to record a second time because there were issues with the microphone. So you microphone, please, go crazy. And I say that in all love. Not Jeremiah love. But anyway, so that's why I had to do that because there was some issues with checking the mic and the recordings. I don't know what happened, but JP was kind enough to stick around for another turn, and we got it done.

So that, but that's why if it's distracting to you, I apologize, but that's what was going on. And that's all I can do. But anyways, that aside, here's my conversation with J.P. Finley from 1067, The Fan. All right. So, JP, so it's going to look awkward for people watching this because I got one little tiny microphone. However, JP's kind enough to re-record this because when I had the two mics on there, so everybody who's worried about my mics all the time, for some reason, the wireless mic wasn't working as well, so we're doing this again, so I appreciate it. But we are here at the owners meetings. And the last time we were talking about this before, that last time we were here, we were chasing Tanya Snyder around. It's like, it's really crazy. It's changed so much. I mean, I feel like we were here like 10 years ago, kind of chasing Bruce Allen around. We chased Tanya Snyder around. Now it's just so functional and normal we get

availability with the owner availability with the GM it's like what our friends and

counterparts that cover other teams have always had that was so abnormal to us is just the

norm now it's it's normal and it's funny because I still have video I think from just

like oh my gosh here comes Tanya we got to get a We're trying to get her like between the street and the bush before. And but I also, my, my favorite one that I have is still Bruce Allen in the, in the hot find in Dallas. That was wild. That was, that was the best one. That was a wild, wild moment, man.

And it just shows you how far things have come because, you know, you're sitting there.

I've never forgotten how far they come because anytime anybody talks to me about it or like, you know, the difference there, right? But I think you see it when Josh Harris is addressing us, when Adam Peters is addressing us.

Not that you have to, that's like buddy buddy per se

but it's professional and it's just a lot more cordial than it ever has been 100% professional

cordial civil polite it's just a different universe and commanders fans I know that they stunk last year

but those are still really big deal long term things things. It is, and it does matter. And it's why they're getting better grades in the NFLPA stuff. And it's funny because the last one last time I was hearing it was saying this before, before the recording stop. But when going into Kirk Cousins, his free agency period was one of the last times I got anything out of Dan Snyder.
