You are Locked-on Raiders, your daily Oakland Raiders podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day.

Just win. Just win. The autumn wind is a pirate blustering in from sea with a rollicking song he sweeps along, swaggering voicelessly.

His face is weather beaten.

He wears a hooded sash with a silver hat about his head and a bristling black mustache.

He growls as he storms the country, a villain big and bow.

And the trees all shake and quiver and faked as he robs them of their gold.

The autumn wind is a raider, pillaging just for fun.

He'll knock you round and upside down and laugh when he's conquered and won.

And one.

Welcome me in Raider Nation to another episode of the Locked-on Raiders podcast.

It's Thursday, January 9th, 2020.

And first and foremost, before we get into today's episode, I want to do a little bit of

housekeeping.

And what I mean by

that is I don't know what was going on with Apple Podcasts, but I know a lot of people hit me up on Wednesday saying that they couldn't get the show. It said that it was a show there, but it wasn't showing up. And all kind of craziness was going on. I tried to send a link to a lot of different people and I'm not going to lie even my Apple podcast because that's what I usually use.

It wasn't working either for some reason. Finally it showed up and I know my mom's to a lot of different people. And I'm not going to lie, even my Apple Podcasts, because that's what I usually use.

It wasn't working either for some reason. Finally, it showed up. And I know my mom said it finally showed up for her as well. But I don't know what was going on with Apple Podcast. It really had nothing to do with me. I tried to upload the show actually twice on Wednesday. So I apologize if there was any inconvenience for that. If you ever have that kind of issue, you could always go to radio.com and search Lockdown Raiders podcast. It is there. You could also use Spotify, Google Podcasts. There's a bunch of different ways to use it, but I don't know what was going on with Apple. So I apologize for anyone who was struggling to hear the show on Wednesday. It was a really good one. If you did not get a chance to do so, please go back and listen to it because Jordan Reed was really good talking all things NFL draft. So I hate that anyone might have missed out on that. That was the one episode I'm thinking, man, why has it got to mess up on this episode? Of all the episodes, when I have a really good guest on there, then all of a sudden, it's going to miss. So hopefully you got a chance to

hear that. If you did not, please go ahead and try to refresh your Apple podcast and maybe it'll pop up then. I don't know. But yeah, that was an issue that was going on on Wednesday. So like to apologize for that. Also real quick, before we get too deep into this podcast, got to talk about the length of the show again. Yeah, I know that subject is rearing its ugly head again.

I've been told again by the Powers to Be. Got another email, pretty lengthy email on Wednesday that definitely got a cut back on the length of the shows. And it's for multiple different reasons and all the reasons make a lot of sense. And it's not just, you know, because they don't want me to do a longer show.

It just has to do with a lot of things that they have going on, the Lockdown Podcast Network.

And I really have to do my best to try to comply with what they got going on.

So if you start to see the shows be a little bit shorter, that will be the reason why I really
