This is the athletic football show.

Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Really fun show for you guys today.

It's great to be back.

We're going to be digging into the biggest off-season questions for every NFC team. We're going to do the AFC tomorrow with Lindsay, but I wanted to start with the NFC, and I wanted to start with my good buddy, Nate Tyson. Nate, how you doing, man? I'm doing good. You in like wrestling and I think boxing they call it ring rust. Like when you, you haven't been in for a while and you have to get back. I got like microphone rust. Like I actually even just setting this up right now as we were talking before the show, I was kind of just going like, I'm doing this, right? And it's only been two weeks, but it's like, that's how easy it just escapes the brain. It really does. It really does. I'm going to screw up a bunch while we're doing this. I took a vacation. My vacation consisted of me watching 16 movies and 12 days on my couch. So that's what I, that was my vacation. What was the podium of those 16? I thought no man land was amazing. But I went back and I, sorry. I was talking about that. I thought it was amazing. I thought it was like just a beautiful kind of meditation on grief and loss and purpose and all of that stuff that interests me that is very sad. But it was a pleasure to think about in that context. And then I'm actually going back through Roger Ebert's The Great Movies book.

And there are a hundred of them in there.

So I'm going back through that and like taking detours when I feel like it's appropriate.

So every once in a while, like I watch the Mike Nichols documentary at HBO.

And that sent me back through like five Mike Nichols movies.

Stuff like that.

So I'm allowing, I'm allowing myself to explore these little offshoots while kind of

having a path forward.

And you know how Steven Soderberg does his, the media diet every year?

Like every day he charts what he watched and everything else.

I'm not doing that, but I am listing every movie I watch, even if it's a rewatch, just to kind of keep

myself a little bit more disciplined with my time and be intentional. I like that. As a guy that has a

Google Keep app that I keep my favorite top 10 favorite movies list updated, probably every six

months I look at it. And I also keep a list going of movies I want to watch before I die or like next movies to watch list when I get my choice. You know, it's always a it's a compromise deciding which movies. And I, I can go for some from some weirder, weirder stuff. But you know, but like some of those movies, I actually was just talking to some of our mutual friends about this. But I was like, you know, a movie like Chinatown.

I've never seen Chinatown.

But it's like a movie.

That's on my list.
