This is the athletic football show.

Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Joining me, I guess today, recording this little earlier than normal.

It's my good buddy, Nate Tyson. Nate, how are you? Doing great. Did something happen last night?

I was in a middle of a board game last night. Just a little bit. So obviously, it would have been a

strange setup either way. Usually we record after the Sunday night games end overnight, no games this week. So we were going to do something a little bit different. And then I'm sitting there last night. It's just a blizzard in Chicago. I'm not there now. I'm in a hotel in Tampa if you guys can't tell. It's a blizzard in Chicago. I'm sitting there watching freaks and geeks with my girlfriend and my dog drinking hot chocolate. And then I see it on my phone and I go, holy

shit.

And she thought something had actually happened.

Well, something had actually happened just more in my world than in the general world.

So what were you doing last night?

I know you were also not busy, but otherwise occupied.

I was.

I was playing a two-player board game with my wife.

And it is, oh my God, this sounds so,

let's lean into it. This is a real window into your lifestyle. Yes. Continue. This is what I do on a Saturday night is we, it's the 1960, it's called 1960 in making them a president, but basically

you're the campaign managers for JFK and Richard Nixon. And you just do, you do the election. It takes about two and a half hours. First time we played it. So I'm playing it. We're about, I don't know, I'd say about 45 minutes into the game. We're starting to get a hang of it. And I feel my phone just going nuts. It was the first time you played it. First time we played this one. Yeah. I know the wife, oh, yeah, she was trying to throw me a bone and just go like, hey, you want to try that long game that you've been talking about for a couple months now? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Oh, and then when she does that, I make sure everything's situated. I set it all up. I watch rules instructions. but like I'm in the middle of that my phone just going nuts in my pocket. I'm like, all right, you know,

since quarantine's started, it's just been group texts, you know, so sometimes your phone just goes nuts. I, all right, I'll deal with it later. I look down. Also, I just see trade, trade, trade, too much, too little, too much to it. And and i looked at it and i just made a big push

as jfk into the midwest into the state of michigan and i was just looking i was just like i'll deal

with this later i put my phone down but yeah that's that was my night last night figuring out this

trade was just as jfk was making a big inroads until building his blue wall in Michigan, I get a trade

about the Detroit lines and the L.A. Rams. But yeah, that was my Saturday night. And then here we are.
