Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Joining me today.

It's my good friend Nate Tyson.

How you doing, buddy?

I'm doing very well. It feels like after we did the free agency, I don't know, onslaught that only doing one show last week, I missed you. I really did. It was like late in the week. And I'm like, oh. You're the only one. Yeah. I just need another athletic football show, always on. But it's always on. It's always on. But no, I'm doing very well. I actually went to the Taylor Swift concert on Friday. Wow. How was that? It was phenomenal. And I'm not, like, I'm okay with Taylor Swift. I like her. I wouldn't say, like, I'm like a huge fan or anything, but she put on a show, man. I think it was 40 something songs, 44 songs. I knew about a quarter of them where I just knew them. And I would say I knew the words to about three of them. But I mean, I've been to games at the Metrodome, the Kingdom my whole life. I've been to the Superdome. I've been to a lot of loud stadiums in my lifetime. That was the loudest cheering and noise I've ever heard in my entire life. Was that an Allegean? It was a legate. Yeah. Peck to the Gills. Takes a lot for me to get to a stadium show. My first ever stadium show. And yeah, it was good. The performances and the everything she did because she was trying to cover all the eras and everything. So I think I was a good show to see. You know, it's not, that's one I'm going to remember because I don't really do stadium shows. I don't really do concerts. So it took a page out of your book. It was great. Sounds wonderful. I mean, yeah, I, um, we're putting together the, uh, no playlist and the, and the, and the must playlist, uh, for our wedding right now, which is a, just a torturous experience. It's hard. Uh, it has not been easy. We've been putting our heads together about it. I think Taylor Swift's

going to be on the no-fly list. That's fine. You're now insulting me. That's a Casey's dance.

That's not a me stance. That's a Casey's dance. So my wife had the no Bruno Mars. Also on ours.

Yeah, that was a big one for her. Yep. Which a few of my aunts weren't happy about happy about because I didn't tell them that until they were just wondering the whole time waiting for, you know, one of the songs that come on, but they never came on. They never came. Yeah, it's been to be a lot of pressure here over the next couple of months as we put it together. But I have faith that we can knock it out. I also have faith that we can knock this out. We are doing the quarterbacks today. I've done the show for the last two years. I remember the first one we did

vividly because it was in my old apartment, you know, doing those shows from like the kitchen table

in my old apartment. And the quarterback show sticks with me. It feels like an early athletic

football show episode when we did

the 20. It wasn't that early. It was after our first season together. But it was like in that first

off season when we were trying to figure out what we wanted to do draft wise, we just did the top

five quarterbacks. And we're like, all right, this is what we see from them. This is what the

outlook might be. And I don't think there's a need to reinvent the wheel.

I loved doing that show.
