Today's episode of the Ring or NFL show on the Ring or Podcast Network is brought to you by World Central Kitchen.

Their relief team is working across America to safely distribute individually packaged fresh meals in communities that need support.

They're now serving tens of thousands of meals daily in some of our biggest cities, like New York and LA,

and they're launching initiatives across America to deliver fresh hot meals to hospitals and clinics, fighting on the front lines while keeping local restaurants and business as well.

You can directly help the heroes in hospitals and clinics who are fighting for us, and you can help keep your local restaurants alive.

Go to the Ring or dot com slash WCK to donate.

We are trying to raise $250,000, so please, please donate. If you have the means, it is an unbelievably great and useful cause that helps our hospital heroes, emergency workers, and local restaurants.

Please give whatever you can. The money goes directly to World Central Kitchen, and it's a charitable donation.

Once again, that's the ring or dot com slash WCK.

Hello and welcome. The Ring or NFL show. I'm Mallory Rubin, editor and chief of the ring or dot com.

Folks, it is an honor and a privilege to say that joining me today, now that she and Lenny have finally pulled themselves away from soaking up all the food.

Meena, welcome. It's quite the introduction. I just like to say, now before we get started, I've done a lot of ringer podcasts at this point.

And I don't, I podcast by myself. I don't have a partner. But if I did have a podcast partner at ESPN, you would be my hall pass.

Wow. Yeah. I'm really touched. I'm blushing. If we hadn't deactivated our Zoom cameras, you'd see that I'm blushing.

And I feel the same way about you, pal. I really do.

I also right before doing this podcast was taping with Mel Kuiper Jr. And in my head, I keep thinking, Mel Kuiper Jr. Now, which I think should stick children of Baltimore.

Yeah.

You know, I've got a lot in common, or oil pendants in our respective homes.

I'm sure he's a fan of crab chips just as I am. Do you eat a pumpkin pie every morning for breakfast like him?

No, I don't. But now that you've suggested it, I don't see any reason not to. I love pumpkin pie. I think it's delicious. I think the pie is one of the most superior food groups out there. And yes, I think the pie is a food group.
