producing this mess.

And joining me as always, well, kind of joining, actually joining, my dear dear pals, Dave Damashik and Martin Weiss. Sheck, we come in once a week. We try to. I like to see everyone's face, you know. And so Thursday, I said, okay, let's be in office Thursday. It's kind of how we've done it for a little bit. Martin and I are here. Sheck is on Zoom. Sheck did not get the memo. Just kidding. He did. He just didn't read it, right. No, I did. But listen, like Eric DeCosta is to NFL GMs or Ron Hextall is to NHLGMs, Dave Damashik is to podcasting. I screwed up. I'm bad at doing this. I miss read stuff

and you have my sincere apologies. I don't know how I, how I miss read that we were meeting

up in the office today. I assumed this. It makes you feel better. No one's surprised. Okay.

I don't know if that matters at all. But poor

Martin, apologize to Martin. He got on his electric bike at 615 this morning to make it here. And there he is. I just, that was my thing. Dave was like, is that going to be a character trait now? You're not having a car? You always going to ask you a ride? You know what I know what my character trade is, Dave, showing up. That's my character.

Check, give,

give Martin your car if you're not going to use it.

Yeah, you're up. That's my character. Check, give Martin your car if you're not going to use it. Yeah, you're right.

That's the best solution here. I do have the spaghetti. Is Sheck worse on email or text?

In my history since November 2016 with Sheck, I would say that the text messaging has probably got me more on it just from our days in the NFL. Look, we always got it done. But a lot of close calls with like a guest is coming in at this time where Shaq, please come in like he's late to the office, a lot of stuff like that. And like, just please answer this one text so I could have the rest of the day be cleared. and then like he would answer five hours later after it was already figured out. What the hell? What the heck? This is. I said we already.

I said we already. just please answer this one text so I could have the rest of the day be cleared. And then like he would answer five hours later after it was already figured out.

What the hell?
