This is the athletic football show.

Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays join me today.

It's my good friend Nate Tyson.

How are you doing, buddy?

I'm doing very well.

I thought this was going to be a book club discussion because it turns out we read the same book, a very popular New York Times bestseller, the wager. But that was a nice text to get. I tweet it and a lot of people reached out and went like, I read it too. I was like, oh, yeah. It's a popular book, but it's a really good one.

David Grant is probably my favorite nonfiction writer. I think he's unbelievable on Red Killers of the Flower Moon before it was optioned for a movie, all that stuff. And I just think his storytelling is incredible. And the wager for people who don't know, it's about 19th century, 18th century, 19th century. 18th century.

Yeah. It's 18th century Navy or English Navymen. So it's about old boats, right? So I'm on my honeymoon

reading this by the pool and my wife just cannot get enough of this. This is the most old man shit

you have ever done in your

entire life reading this book about old boats as we sit here by the pool. I got a lot of credit

for entering my 30s gracially by just the book cover is very dad book cover. Basically, if you like

masters and commanders of the far side of the world, this is way way up your alley, but,

which is also the ultimate dad movie. Another movie I didn't see until my is way way up your alley, but, uh, which is also the

ultimate dad movie. Another movie I didn't see until my 30s. And I was like, oh, this,

this is what I've become. I'm going to watch Pat next. The, uh, but the, I think with,

what, reading that book, though, and what you're saying about the writing style is unbelievable

of how every piece of information would stick. And I'm like,

this guy should be a coach. So credit to being a fantastic, like, yeah, no, I honestly

one of the best books I've read in the last like five-ish, 10 years. I really enjoyed it.

I read it in two nights, basically three nights, I would say. And I flew through it. But anyways, very excited for this next week of football. It's no longer week 13. Hopefully no more quarterback injuries. And here we go. Let's go with week 14. If you guys need a book, please go check out everything that David Grant has written. You will not be sad that you did. We will not be sad after this week of football games is over. I can almost promise you that because we got a lot of good stuff on tap.
