Yo! I'm Lawrence Holmes. Thank you so much for hanging out here with me.

It's a little bit of an impromptu episode that I'm doing on today's pod because I wanted to talk about

something that seems to be near and dear to people who listen to this pod and well not

everyone who listen to this pod but you know we do a lot of bears stuff on this

podcast.

And with my history of being a bears beat reporter for a decade.

I thought it would be fun to bring you in behind the curtain

as much as I can at this point

and maybe try to explain like the differences and jobs and how people look at them.

I think that the landscape has changed and I'm trying to roll with the punches on it. I'm also trying to be super

responsible because I'm just wired that way like I'm kind of boring that way but I want to try and be

responsible when I get information. So here's the thing here here's what I'll tell you, all right?

And I just want you to understand like how I work and

sometimes how I think the the industry should work but I you know I'm I get that I I have some guiding principles

when it comes to relaying information that are not, that sometimes seem antiquated

with how quickly information moves and is disseminated right now.

So about an hour ago, I got a phone call

from a trusted source.

Source told me to be on the lookout for some stuff. I'm not going to tell you what it is.

All I'll tell you is, I was like, oh, okay.

And I put it in oh, okay.

And I put it in my back pocket.
