to join their team. I'm John Paul Flame, joined by Eric Bickle and Jason Bishop. Join us right

now on the Rood guest hotline. Root's the most reliable heating and air conditioning products in the DMV. It's our pal, Grant Paulson, co-host of Grant and Danny. Listen to them at 2 o'clock today. What's up, Grant? What's up, Junks? How are you guys this morning? So we had fun with the picture that you had tweeted yesterday with Terry and Adam Peters talking. If you had to caption that conversation, what would Grant Paulson caption?

I don't think they were even talking much about the contract.

But I guess, hey, it's time, man.

Let's get to work whenever you're ready to pay me.

It would have been my caption.

But I think this was Adam Peters checking in with Terry McLaren.

Like, he's a people guy, right? He's a people person. My guess is they've had conversations in the building. I have a hard time believing. They haven't walked past one another in the hallway over the last couple weeks or something. So that was just another conversation that they've had. But I'll bet you there's some element of checking in, how you're holding up with everything. I know this is frustrating. Maybe checking on, hey, what kind of football shape do you think you're in? How close

are you to being able to play when you get back if you were to come back soon? I mean, are they

actually pretending behind the scenes like this ankle's a thing in some way? I doubt it, but could he be

asking about the ankle? Or do they just pretended press conferences like the ankle's actually a problem? Grant, did you read the, you know, they, they use AI now. They just not only have amateur lip readers. They have AI little lip read. And the one thing that they all seem to have in common is at one point, allegedly, Terry said, I just want to play ball. How do you

interpret that? I believe that. That's funny. I did not see any of that. But that's not surprising.

All this technology is both incredible and in some way, petrifying. And it's going to doom us all.

But yeah, I could totally see that. I mean, if they're having a conversation where they're like, hey, we're getting closer, man, it's, it's August 12th. Like, let's do this thing. And that's kind of what he says to the media too, right? He's going to give some type of very non-threatening, non-informative line to Peters as well, because it's not his job to negotiate. You see what happened in Dallas, too, Eric, right? Where supposedly Jerry Jones goes to Micah Parsons and tries to get a deal done without his agent around and blows up in his face. So they're not going to try to talk numbers or negotiate. Totally. I could absolutely see Terry just reiterating over and over again. Hey, man, I love football. I want to play football.
