0:52.9

late into the evening. And also all the storylines now that come out of this past weekend of ball. We're just at the beginning of the season, but we're already starting to rule some teams out, aren't we? Yeah, that's right. We're already starting to crown some teams, aren't we? Yeah. And maybe we're starting to learn about some teams, like maybe this Chargers team for real. Yeah. team has something a little bit inside of that chest that they got there that might be able to propel them to some magical seasons and moments once again down there in the beautiful Tampa Bay City. We are incredibly lucky today. It's not just the talks at table at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt. Back to back days with the jacket. How do we feel about it, Ty Schmidt? you know, I probably wouldn't have, but listen, I love the Nor'Easter. You know, if I know Connor, he's going to wear this probably every day for the next month, so we might as well just get used to it. Okay, so this is just you right now? Oh, look, I'm not going to change the recipe up. I know that. Patriots won. I had my Nike rivalries jersey on. Do I want the Patriots keep winning? Yeah. So the, the, the, the, sample sizes, NFL Nike's rivalry gear, not that poopie company. The Nike one. Not talking about Adidas once again. I love Adidas. I got... Or Puma. Not talking about Puma.

2:12.6

Oh yeah. Like a jungle cat. Like a Puma. You know what I mean? I would like to say,

Puma's paid me zero dollars. Would certainly wear other company shoes on a regular basis. With that being said, the Hallie Wans are awesome. Yeah. Caitlin's got shoes. Hallie's got shoes. Don't look now, Indianapolis about to become the shoe epicenter of the world, baby. These are nice.

2:34.6

They are.

2:53.6

These are nice. Pat, would you ever wear Pumas? People would ask. Sure. Maybe a week ago. Sure. I say, absolutely not. What are we talking about? Puma? I don't think so. That's what I would have done. I get that, yeah. Okay, that's what I would have said. What an ignorant statement that would have been? Because I had no idea. Boom! These are coming into the world.
