What's going on, guys?

I'm Mike Yam.

And I'm Adidi Kinkabala.

We are the hosts of NFL Explained. It's a podcast where football fanatics come to learn everything they always wanted to know about football. But just didn't know who to ask. They can ask us now. So Adi, I have been watching you on NFL Network for years. And you always struck me as the type of person who is super bright, always prepared. And then we were asked to do this podcast.

And I was like, man, Aditi's actually the perfect co-host for something like this, because you're the type of kid. I would imagine when you were growing up in school that was sitting in the front row, had the hand raise, knew all the answers. That's fairly accurate, right? So I can't say that I did really actually know all the answers, but wanted to know all the answers. But I was a teacher's pet. I mean, if I'm honest, I was a teacher's pet. How many times did you roll up to class with an apple? Yeah, come on, I wasn't that bad. I was a pet because people like being around me. and I was helpful, which is the goal of our podcast here, to be helpful to people,

whether they're having conversation with their in-laws or playing trivia at the local bar. Adidi, I am not necessarily the biggest bar trivia person, but what I can tell you is that if you had a question about the NFL, there's no better place to be than to hang with us. Because even if, Aditi, you don't know the answer or I don't know the answer, we have an amazing team that will find the answer. I mean, it is a slew of topics that we're going to be covering throughout the course of the year. I was looking at some of the things that we're going to be discussing. How about just team names? Can you imagine the history around football and how some of these teams actually got their names, It is absolutely fascinating, not to mention we're TV people and now audio people too working in the podcast space. But the Skycam, I mean, who doesn't watch a game and get kind of pumped when you see some angles that you've never seen before? I've got to tell you, I've always wondered about the playbook. Like, what happens if you lose your playbook? I've also wondered about the exact process of being voted into the Hall of Fame.

I mean, is it like sorority rush?

I would think just being really good at football is sort of a prerequisite and then we figure it out from there.

But the point is, we got all the answers and we will have you covered every single Thursday.

It is NFL explained.
