Welcome to Thor Talks Purple.

Hello everyone and welcome into Thor Talks Purple.

It's a Thursday and we are one week away from what I call football

Christmas and the NFL draft. AJ, we are getting very close and we got a lot of good emails

as well. And today being Thursday, as Thor, anything Thursday, we're going to open the mailbag.

But how are you doing, AJ? I'm doing well. I like you said, we're a week out now from the NFL draft or a week out from the NFL,

you know, it I think the combine or like free agency is sort of gets things rolling.

Like so I know it's technically the new calendar year is starting.

But the draft is like now we're in full speed because then training camp,

OTAs, all that stuff is on the horizon. Before you know it, it's week one and we're back in

action. But all the work that you and the rest of like the scouting and the prospect world does,

it's put on display. I can't wait. And it should be fun. Draft party too. You know, it's a very, very gentle plug there. But obviously Purple Daily draft party, make sure you're hanging out with us for that draft night coverage. And we're going to have stuff all, all weekend long, essentially draft night to live stream on the Purple Daily YouTube channel.

And then like you mentioned yesterday, we're going to have a immediate reaction grading draft

draft classes, which not a like it's not really a normal type of thing because you need

that buffer time.

You're going to be reacting right off the top of the dome, which I know I'll be tuning in for.

I don't think I'm going to be on the producing side of things there, but I'm going to be

tuning in because I can't wait to see how you can do that.

Yeah, you know, you know, you spend so much time on, on one subject.

You know, my joke is every year is like, you know, you're studying.
