Join me now. It's my co-hosts here at the athletic football show. It's Derek Klaus and Derek. How are you doing, man? I'm doing great. You know, we're recording a little bit later in the day than usual, but I feel like that's good prep for our Sunday night show. You know, we got to creep a little bit closer and get used to, you know, we got to get our reps into. It's a preseason for everybody. I was at Lions Camp like two weeks ago, and they were practicing at 6 p.m. for no reason, just to mix it up a little bit, just because it was a little bit of something different. And I think that was at Brown's camp one day when they were practicing at like 4.30 Eastern. And it was truly just so they got used to playing football at 430 Eastern for when they play afternoon games. So us doing a little bit of that in the preseason, it does the same job. We're trying to accomplish the same thing. We can pretend we're just like them for a little bit. That's right. That's right. We're doing the NFC East today.
