You're listening to the Meninblazers Media Network, Suboptimal Radio, Weston McKinney, unfilling the best form of his career. I just can't believe how many people count him out time and time again. He's just like, oh yeah, this weekend I might play striker. Bro, you're just playing right back. What do you mean you're playing striker? And then he goes out and plays number 10 and he'll score a goal or have an assist. This guy with his back against the wall is a scary

you're back in action. Tell us up top. How are you feeling physically, mentally?

1:05.6

1:17.9

time to recover. I'm in a good position and I'm feeling good. So I think I've come back a little bit

like you said. But I think for Jackson, it was really cool to get him in the snow for the first time. I grew up in the snow in New York, Sarah from New Jersey. So to get him in the snow and sledding and stuff like that, he had a blast. So that's what it's all about. God, I can imagine you just like doing the skeleton in just incredible reckless pace, but we will not talk about that.
