Didn't fall out that window.

Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL podcast.

My name is Dan Hansis.

I'm joined in a room that's filled with heroes.

Mark Sessler, Chris Wessling,

and Greg Rosenthal. What is up, boys?

Hey, Dan.

All right. Tuesday show. Week one in the rearview. A lot to get to today.

Good to be back on a Tuesday show. Our longtime listeners will know we did this show for five or five seasons or so and then had to skip it, unfortunately, a year ago. But we're back. Shadow League figures. It feels right. And made us change our night. It's like when the sitcom that they decide, oh, let's move them to Friday nights at 8 p.m. And then the ratings tank. And then they blame the sitcom. No, bro, put us back in the time spot where we thrived. That's where we are. It never, even I think as early as week one last year, you know, we enjoyed doing the, with the opportunity given to us, we did the best we could. But, no, I'm going to say we did. but like the, but the schedule never felt proper.

This feels right.

And we were just talking about, because who knows how long we'll do these Tuesday shows,

like these fading bands that are still touring deep into the, you know, 20, 30 years after the relevance,

where will we be 30 years now?

I mean, I see the only place we could go potentially is like overseas Europe, Dusseldorf. Oh, like in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood where he has to go to Italy to make the cabaret. I mean, to stay even vaguely relevant, I'd say four or five years, ten years from now we would be in very hot water. We're going to be hitting some of those same venues as bands are hitting. The troubadour all around the country. In this scenario, all four of us are still together as one entity? I'm just saying if this still existed 30 or 40 years from now? Or are we just saying, oh, we're going to go three more years and it's over and then what? I still have to make money, don't you? How? Somehow. That's a good transition, Wes. actually the four of us, I just wanted a little family meeting. Hey, let's head downstairs, actually.

Let's go. That's a good transition, Wes. Actually, the four of us, I just wanted a little family meeting.

Hey, let's head downstairs, actually.

Let's go.

Let's go down.

Is this the lab?
