| 0:00.0 | All right, welcome back to another episode of Friends from Football here on the Friends |
| 0:24.6 | from Work Podcast Network. |
| 0:26.0 | I'm your host, Kyle Sconiwell, and today is very special because I'm not your only host today. |
| 0:31.3 | Today I'm joined by two absolute legends, Kirk Cousins and Grant Paulson. |
| 0:35.6 | You're going to be hearing from them in just a minute. |
| 0:37.1 | I wanted to share a little bit of background about this episode before we got started. |
| 0:41.6 | Back in 2012 through about 2017 when Kirk was in Washington playing quarterback, Grant is a radio |
| 0:48.0 | show host in Washington, D.C. He hosts a show called Grant and Danny for 1067 The Fan. |
| 0:53.1 | And about the time when Kirk was named the starter, |
| 0:55.9 | about 2014-15, they'd have to check me on this. Kirk started coming on to the Grant and Danny show |
| 1:01.4 | weekly to talk about the football game that week, et cetera. And it was awesome. Grant and Danny do such a good |
| 1:07.8 | job. They're so entertaining and insightful. And they just kind of get it. |
| 1:11.4 | They know ball. |
| 1:28.1 | And so right away, that relationship really developed. Well, as Kirk kept doing that, I eventually got a chance to meet Grant. And same thing. My first impressions of him were amazing. Like he's funny. He's smart. He's insightful. And so we stayed in touch. In fact, Grant and I now, all these years later, |
| 1:33.5 | we still chat ball almost weekly during the football season. He's been on friends from football, |
| 1:39.7 | so has Kirk. And so that relationship has just continued to cultivate. And I think it's going to lead for a really fun conversation today. So if you're a football fan, but also just if you're a fan of some entertaining stuff, you're going to want to stick around. Thank you so much for listening to this podcast, subscribing to this YouTube channel and telling people about it. Couldn't do without you guys. So without further ado, Kirk Cousins, 14-year NFL veteran quarterback for Washington, the Minnesota Vikings, and the Atlanta Falcons, |
| 2:02.1 | four-time pro bowler, although it should be a lot more than that, and just long-time friend and just |
| 2:07.5 | an all-around great human being, Kurt Cousins, and then please welcome Grant Paulson, another |
| 2:12.2 | longtime friend, host of the Grant and Danny Show on 1067 The Fan in Washington. |
| 2:17.0 | He also does a bunch of work for the MLB Network and just an all-around hilarious, insightful dude. |
| 2:22.3 | Please welcome Kirk Cousins and Grant Paulson. |
| 2:24.6 | All right. |
