0:00.0	What's up everybody? Welcome into the Nextpats podcast. I'm Phil Perry. Very excited to bring you this week's edition of Nextpats. We're talking to the Hall of Famer this week, friends. That's right. Kurt Warner, great friend of NextPats,
0:21.7	back on the podcast this week to talk all things Drake May with us. What is the one thing
0:27.2	Kurt Warner feels Drake May needs to do in order to establish himself as truly worthy of being
0:33.5	in the top 10 conversation among quarterbacks in the NFL. Sounds crazy, right?
0:38.2	But let me rattle off a few numbers for you here because he's sort of on pace
0:42.4	through three weeks of the 2025 season.
0:44.9	He's second in completion percentage.

But first, we have to talk to the guy with the gold jacket. Here's Kurt Warner. All right, there he is, our friend, the Hall of Famer, Kurt Warner, have to give the intro here because he, of course, is one of the best in the business when it comes to analyzing this game, which he does for NFL Network, and you can watch Kurt on NFL Game Day kickoff this Sunday at 7 a.m. Eastern on NFL Network ahead of Viking Steelers.
1:57.3	That, of course, is from Dublin at 930 a.m. Eastern.
