This is the athletic football show.

Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays, joining me today.

It's my good friend Nate Tice.

Nate, how you doing, buddy? Doing well. You look bundled up over there? There's actual blizzard happening outside. It was... Oh, we sure, and it works. It's like 2 p.m. And usually when we do the show, I try to look professional, and I'll go do my hair, and I'll put on something. It's like, all right, I'll be presentable. It's just, it's so cold out. And the snow is just falling down. I'm like, you know what? I'm just going to go throw a winter hat on and just lean into this as hard as I can. It looks like you just, uh, or just, uh, shipping for, or fishing for some crab, you know, off the Alaska coast.

That is what I'm going for pretty much all the time.

Sheik fishermen.

My vibe after Halloween is a combination of weathered New England fishermen and Chris Evans from Knives Out.

Like that,

that's exactly what I'm trying to go for is like some middle ground between there.

I saw Banshees of Inashirin a couple weeks ago, which was yeah,

fantastic, by the way.

And one of my big, one of my big, uh, one of my big, uh,

one of my big takeaways from the movie was,

man, just great sweaters. Right. In 1920s Ireland is just where I want to be all the time. So that's the vibe I'm generally shooting for. It's like the people going for the peeky blinders look like right now like that's been happening the last few years. You can just throw on a sweater and pull off what I'm trying to do.

So I'm just leaning as hard as I can into it right now. We're three days before Christmas. It's cold as hell outside. What are we really doing here? I dress the same as I did like in high school. Just a lot of hoodies and a lot of hats. that's if anyone see any of these cutouts that happens on our YouTube channel.

I'm just like, man, I just look like I just woke up, which I did probably right before we did a show. So you're doing better than I did, than I'm doing as looking like a Portland, you know, resident in Maine, Portland, Maine, not Portland, Oregon is what, is what you're going for.

As we lean into this general wintery vibe here, truncated show a little bit today as we head into the holiday weekend.

And a reminder, no Sunday recap show on Sunday night.

Sunday is Christmas.

We are going to allow everyone involved with the show to spend Christmas with their family.

We're going to have a two-part week 16 recap coming to you guys on Monday.
