The Around the NFL podcast always gets their man.

Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL podcast.

My name is Dan Hansis, and I am joined.

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

It's Mark Sessler. It's Chris Wessling. It's Greg Rosethal. What's up, boys? Hey, Dan. Ow! Happy Monday. Oh, yes. Dan is bringing the Monday jokes back down in the, there were two or three of them down in the newsroom before the show,

which is, that's an interesting genre to operate in in 2018. Isn't it feel like we're a little overdue for a little bit? You know, uh, Monday. Oh, sounds like you're having a bad Monday. Monday is my right? I feel like there's room. I think it speaks. I mean, everyone kind of gets it. So it's a ripe area to go down, joke-wise.

I think all the people that mean, everyone kind of gets it. So it's a ripe area to go down joke-wise.

I think all the people that used to make all the Monday's jokes have died by now, so it's ready for a comeback. Also, I think at this point in time, it's more like, oh, every day. Yeah. Okay. Well, that's a bit of a cynical world. To Greg's point also, everyone has died that used to make Monday's jokes, but it's been like Final Destination-style deaths.

Not like old age, more like the tractor-trailer in front of them falls over, or, you know, they get caught in their shower head and they hang themselves.

Just like really bizarre deaths. What you you might want to abandon this, this effort then? No. You're going to stick to this, okay. You get, like, tossed off a blimp. Exactly. What are you doing out of blimp? I will not go on any roller coasters or fly in any planes. Another reason not to leave the country. Welcome to the round. What do you mean another? What's the first one? Yeah. I love this country. He's got a lot of, I'm busy here. Colors don't run. They got to the thing. I'm busy here in America. It's not just, it's not being xenophobic or something. Too busy to travel. Got two kids. All right. All right. Good show today. We got some stuff to talk about. Yeah, just like bringing back Monday chatter. It's going to be a Monday Renaissance. A little later in the show, Greg. You know, we did a think tank. Should I save this for when we get to the segment?

I mean, why save it now?

Just, yeah.

We had a think tank meeting and an Ideas Generation meeting at an off-campus site.

And kicking around ideas, Greg said, hey, how about Dernicants?

And we all looked at Greg, you know, what the hell are you talking about? What's a Dernicense? And what is a Dernicence, Greg? Well, I saw, you know, the big billboard on Overland on the way to work, which I'm sure Mark sees. It's right near his house. Just Laura Dern, another big show. Laura Dern's been having the Dernasance. Hadn heard from Laura Dern in a little bit in a while, and then suddenly Dern's everywhere. She's popping homers out of the yard. I'm so out of touch that the-hopping homers out of the yard. The number one movie I remember from Laura Dern is Wild at Heart from 1990 with Nicholas Cage. To me, that's the greatest Laura Dorn performance that I've seen. Well, it's also following in the tradition of the

McConaissance, which is kind of a famous return to. Both of which are copying off of John Travolta

in his return with Pulp Fiction after being out for a decade. Travolta Sons doesn't sound as good, though.

No, neither is Dernasance, by the way. I think Troultta was more buried than either McConaughey or Dern. Also, Dern has a long way to go to match what Travolta did in a short period of time. In any extent, did he do that movie, Michael, where he's an angel and stuff? It became a little bit too much. Remember surfer dude?

That was the thing like Maconna Hay It was on pre-McConnorissance. But to what Wes was saying, he loved a Dern, Tinsletown's own, Laura Dern. He loved a Dern film from 1990, 28 years ago. And Greg is looking at billboards with a starry-eyed gaze in 2018. So how about Blue Velvet? I mean, that. There you go. Jurassic Park? How about that? There you go. Really kept that film grounded with her performance. Let's say they could have done away with that franchise a long time ago. All right. Jurassic Park? Yeah. Save it for the Jurassic Park podcast. It's Jurassic Quality.

Oh.
