| 0:00.0 | Our friend Field Yates always finds time for us, even during the busiest time on his calendar. |
| 0:16.6 | It is draft week, my friend. |
| 0:17.9 | Look at that smile. |
| 0:19.2 | It's a smile of I can't wait for the draft. And also, I am fucking tired of talking about the draft. It's funny. I've had the debate. I actually was talking to Kuiper last night. And as we're debating, whether we're more excited for the draft to be here or more excited for the draft to be over. I think we both agreed probably for the draft to be over. |
| 0:39.7 | Bell lives in the land of pleasant living down there and the shores of Maryland. |
| 0:44.7 | So for him, assuming Mother Nature cooperates a summer of time on the boat and all the other great amenities the Kuiper compound has available is just around the corner. |
| 0:55.7 | I live in Connecticut where it's currently 46 degrees, so it's warmed up. |
| 1:00.2 | So we're probably another month away from pleasant living like Mel gets to experience very soon, |

| 1:17.9 | Friday, Saturday come, do you just take all those papers and just throw them out? Like, |

| 1:35.5 | Like I haven't been pouring over tape on guys for the past two weeks like I was previously. |
| 1:40.5 | It's more just like getting a scan on guys that you haven't watched a little while |
| 1:45.1 | or some of the day three guys that are just lesser known prospects that you haven't put as much |
| 1:49.6 | energy into because you're probably only going to be talking about them during the draft |
| 1:54.7 | broadcasts the sports center is not asking me for my favorite you know sixth round linebacker |
| 1:59.7 | from a non-power conference school, right? |
| 2:04.1 | But these past couple weeks has been a lot of, like, you know, gathering information around the |
| 2:08.6 | NFL from people and their opinions on where things are with guys. |
| 2:12.1 | So it feels like what I spent a lot of my energy doing leading up to the draft is speculating with people. |
