Welcome to First Bite, the Pride of Detroit Preview podcast. We are now previewing. I guess it's not even previewing anymore since we are in the offseason officially.

My name is Jeremy Reisman. I'm the co-host of First Bite with me. As always is Ryan Matthews. Ryan, how are we doing tonight?

I'm just about to say I was wet because I'm getting out of the shower, but, oh, wow, okay.

POD after dark, everybody. It's going to be that kind of episode, huh? Right out of the gate.

Yeah, so in the case is the first time listening to our midweek podcast.

For the past couple weeks, we have been talking about GM candidates, coaching candidates,

and we've had a special guest with us each time that has a little more background on that person than we do.

This week, or at least one of these episodes this week, spoiler.

We're going to have more than one.

George Payton is the topic at hand.

He is the current assistant general manager with the Minnesota Vikings.

So with us, we brought back our good friend, Arif Asan, from the Athletic Minnesota.

Areef, welcome back, buddy.

Hey, man, how's it going?

Love the mustache, dude.

Thank you. Thank you. It's very aggressive and it

probably is not long for this life. Yeah, it's bold. I think bold is the word of what it shows.

Yeah, yeah. He's so full of it. Here's the thing, Reef, is that we have, like, crowdsource this mustache.

On Twitch, people have been, like, upping the ante and meeting Jeremy's Jeremy's like demands that we have to have so many subscriptions and I'm holding everybody hostage.

Yes, absolutely.

It's incredible.

I know.
