I got that on that brioche.

The breakfast sandwich on the brioch was fine.

Everything here is awesome.

Come on out.

We're going to be broadcasting all the way through 6 o'clock afternoon show after us. We got some great hours planned.

Next hour, Shio Capati and Ashton Sullivan.

At 1 o'clock, it's a football guy hour with Jason Yvonne and I agree with Twins. Yes. Well, I think this is football guy. Well, I was going to say, this is the Go Birds Hour, and it is also a football guy hour. joining us right now, Elliot, of course, at the surfside free energy desk, as he will be throughout the day,

and joining us with Elliot, Elliot, of course, at the surfside free-engine cede sudeau, as he will be throughout the day.

And joining us with Elliot, his co-host on the GoBirds podcast, James Seltzer. James, how we doing? Better now that I'm sitting with you guys. What a treat. These are always fun hours when we have you guys on. It's one of my favorite parts of the show every year. And we saved a fun hour for you guys because it's a topic we don't usually cover on WIP.

That would be A.J. Brown.

And the future of A.J. I thought yesterday when Romeo Dobbs signed with the Patriots, it was obviously notable, right? And now they have something in that receiver room and they paid him a decent amount of money. And I think he's a good player, but kind you know, kind of a number two that they could say at least we got something. So maybe the leverage changes. But guys, when I heard the reporting on it, it was eye-opening. Every few weeks there's an eye-opening report on this that makes me think, at least, a little bit different. Let's hear Ian Rappport yesterday explaining the AJ situation. Listen to how he frames the future of this at the end. For the Patriots, you know, I think it's safe to say they have been in the receiver market for some time. And there's a lot here. First of all, there's Dobbs who has been, I would say, on the field and off, an interesting case for the Green Bay Packers. Talent has never been in questions. Patriots hoping to hit it big there. The other part of this is the Patriots have been in talks at various times over the last week or so with the Philadelphia Eagles on a potential deal for A.J. Brown. A.J. Brown is making a lot of money. Now, the Patriots, you can do a lot of different things with the cap, but at the least,

what this is, is a big money signing in the receiver room at a time when many thought it would be

AJ Brown. If it's not the Patriots for AJ Brown, the Eagles face the possibility of kind of

going back to the drawing board, or maybe Brown goes, you know what, I'm going to open it up

and consider going to

some other teams. There's a lot here, but for the Patriots and for Drake May, most importantly,

they get a big time target in the receiver.
