0:00.0	The press box is here to catch you up on the latest media stories.

0:23.1	We have a fun podcast date, a little different, NFL. Bottom five franchise is moving forward.
0:27.6	We do that. Austin Reeves, Lakers, breakout story and author Michael Wolfe, who profiles some of
0:35.4	the most ruthless people in America and life advice. Today's open is a little more detailed and
0:43.2	shout out to Sir Rudy, who's just terrific with the ideas. And what I love about Sir Rudy,
0:46.5	planning the seeds for ideas for opens and different stuff we do on the podcast back to the
0:49.7	radio show days is he can give me 10 ideas. I can ignore 10 and I know I'm getting an 11th.

1:29.9	Is that basically what we're doing? I think right now there are six teams. Definitely five, maybe six
1:35.5	that are clearly the basement of the NFL. And I was just kind of interested because I work on the
1:42.0	New York podcast at Johnny Stremsky and the idea came from giant fans like they have, I think the
1:46.4	second worst record in the entire league over the last like three years. I think the jetz or the
1:49.8	only team that's worse, which is sick for New York. And you know, they think that their ownership
