What is good, everybody. Welcome to another gold standard podcast. I'm Rob Stats Guerrera,

alongside Michelle Madjouk. Michelle, how are you on this fine Friday?

Hey, hey, it's, you know, it's a good Friday. It's not too hot outside for once in Houston. I get to wear a sweatshirt. I have my mamosa. Everything's looking up. There you go. When you got a mimosa, it's a good day, which for you is every day. So usually you're in a good mood. Shush. A lot to break down on today's show. We're going to talk about the return of George Kittle.

We'll talk about the absence of Fred Warner, what that is going to do for the defense.

And, of course, we will make our picks.

We are still hitting on 70% of our picks, Michelle.

I've been telling people all week, you have to listen and watch on Fridays because we are

killing it. We are. We got a little cocky last week, giving too many, but overall, we've been

doing very well. Yes, I agree with you. We got high on our own supply last week. We went a little

we still hit five of nine. So it wasn't like terrible, but we took some hard hard ones too like when you take touchdowns those are

really hard yeah you can be a little a little dicey uh but we'll get to the picks in a few minutes

we got to talk about this game in general and all week as we learned that george kiddo was going to

be back at practice and that he is practicing and we've seen him and he's bouncing around and

he's you know doing all the things i have been telling people that he is going to be back at practice and that he is practicing and we've seen him and he's bouncing around and he's doing all the things. I have been telling people that he is going to be massive,

that his impact is going to be just felt everywhere on the team. I still think that I think

it's going to help the running game. I think it's obviously going to help the passing game.

My question to you is, am I being too optimistic?

What's going to be interesting is does Mack Jones have that connection with George

Kiddle, right? Because if this was Brock Purdy out there starting, I would say this is

absolutely massive because the connection between those two is just undeniable, right?

I mean, we saw it instantly to start the season what do you have like

already 25 receiving yards and a touchdown on the one drive he played this year at four
