Wait. This isn't how it all ends, right? Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL podcast. My name is Dan Hansis. I'm coming to you from a city filled with heroes. in bunkers. Mark Sessler, Chris Wessling, Greg Rosenthal. What is up, boys? Hey, Dan. Hi. And this is a special week. We've got a lot of guests. And this person's not even really a guest. She's part of the family. She's one of the heroes. And for the first time ever, I mean, how special is this guest? Not a guest? Actually a member of the family? She's got her own sanctioned theme song from a contest that lasted weeks. and came down with one winner.

So introducing on the year-round the NFL podcast for the first time with her theme music, Connie Fox. Crank that up. Turn that up in my headphones. There's a wolf. There's a wolf. There's a wolf. Can't blow your house down.

There's a wolf. There's a wolf. There's a wolf Can't blow your house Now don't mess with her Don't do it Don't do it Don't do it, not

Nah, don't do it stupid Don't mess with her Don't do it now Don't do it Don't do it stupid Connie We can keep it going We could just do that

The whole show Could just be that That's fine. Hello! What is up? There she is. Welcome back to the show. how you been? How are you holding up? I know you're doing a lot of puzzle work, obviously.

You and Gonzo are doing some improv work and some on-camera work together. I'm enjoying that. You got a lot cooking, it seems like, in Connie Fox headquarters. Yeah. Well, I just finished a slice of lemon ricotta cake. I've, to date, now done a pineapple upside-down cake, a brownie cheesecake. The lemon ricotta cake, I think a pie is next. I've been puzzling. And then the network put a camera. at the house because I think they know that if they don't keep me busy that I will continue to post like increasingly more concerning content. So I think it's just a safeguard for everyone. They're keeping you busy too on the network side. You're all over the television during these

times. How about that? Yeah. I did a little total access today, in fact. I've been doing total access on Thursday and Friday, a little mock draft live on Tuesday. Who knows what's next? I had that upside How intrusive is that home cam Does it watch you while you sleep? Well, they told me that I can't turn it off Which is concerning That's how they get you

That's how they get you I currently have a shirt over it Yeah, I have a t-shirt over it And then I've disconnected the audio Like 27 different ways So for now it's okay However You didn't leave

Go ahead However, Rhett Lewis also has a home cam at his house and he informed me that there was nowhere else to put it except for his bedroom. So that is not what mine is. And are we absolutely certain that there's only one cam that was set up? I mean, how closely did we watch this? I, right now, it's to be believed there is only one, but this is a crazy mixed up world. So who knows? There was a movie that came out like 1992 starring Sharon Stone

and one of the Baldwin brothers I believe it was Billy, Billy Baldwin. A lot of people don't remember Billy called Sliver that was about a lot of cameras being set up in someone's house without their knowledge. So just a radar situation for you. Side note, I actually had the

soundtrack to Sliver. Well, that had the UB40 song on it, didn't it? There was one or two. It was dragged down by 90% of it being completely the opposite of memorable. I don't know how it was a sound track. I love that you had the sliver soundtrack.

Oh my God. I think it actually had the cover of Can Help Fall in Love on it by the UB40, which I think made its way onto a number of totally ill-fated mixtapes that I made for like ninth grade girls. Terrible. And I was also in ninth grade, just to be clear about that. Which came up on the throwback podcast, your last appearance where we went through Mark Sessler mixtape favorites.

So dig that up out of the archives If you want to learn more about Mark's romantic journey That led him to the beautiful Simone Sessler You good call UB40 can't help following in love is on the Sliver soundtrack Wow A movie whose tagline was like Hey remember seeing Sharon Stone naked and basic instinct

You'll love this one It's the next one and she's naked again That's it Yeah yeah yeah So Colleen so great to have you here It's like a family reunion, especially given the times. And I think we talked about it on this show or who knows, maybe it was on our text group, which is labeled ATN bastards, labeled by Colleen months ago, that our hangout, the Friday before

everything got locked down has functionally served as the last time any of us had any type of social connection. So to get us all get back together again, it feels good. It's great. That was like the last supper of like happy hours. So here we are. I got like a bit of a potpourri for the show today. I think we got a lot of fun stuff to talk about. We're going to get caught up on with everyone in quarantine. What's go around the group? Ricky, you included a kind of quarantine Mount Rushmore. If you had to pick four people to be locked down with shelter and place, can't be loved ones. must be living, and at least one of the four people has to be an NFL figure.

I'm just curious what you guys are going to come up with your list. My list is pretty incredible, and I'd like to see anybody try to beat it. If I'm loved one, can it be like people you know or? No friends. Anyone that you consider someone close,

like an intimate person. Like for you, for instance, Jeslick couldn't be on your group. Couldn't be like Grover from Tybee Island. I don't know. I could pick Grover from Tybee Island. Yeah, I was going to say, I take her over.

Exactly. And they can't be dead either. We can't steal Lakeisha from Wes, is what you're saying. That would be a fight. Feels too intimate at this point. And also we're going to get caught up on the news with another 20-20 flash with Mark Sessler. And before that, and Wes has something he has to get off his chest. They can't wait for that.

We're going to save that for the end of the show. What's on Wes's radar? But before that, Colleen, when we were chatting and text, you and I, earlier this week, you had mentioned something that had started to evolve out of your inner self over the time of this lockdown. Do you want to explain a little bit to the audience? Well, I texted Dan and I said, is it weird that I'm starting to have feelings for Andrew Cuomo?

And I don't think that that is necessarily original at this point. I think other people are feeling that as well. But it's almost like an Andrew Anthony duo that has evolved in my life of Andrew Cuomo and Anthony Fauci, two guys who I would have previously never really looked twice at. And now they have really just invaded my living room. And I feel like they're here almost every day. And so, yeah, I'm having some weird feelings. It's not an invasion if they're welcome.

You're just opening a door right up for it. Not a great look for Chris Cuomo. I mean, who looks very much like Andrew Cuomo, who's on television prominently also and left out of your love interest pool. Well, I'm feeling a little bad for Chris right now because he's quarantined in his basement with the virus. He's got the Rona, yeah. Yeah, he's got the Rona. So it's been, my feelings have been more directed towards the leader of New York right now.

Although, you know, the continued disrespect of our governor, Gavin Newsom, I mean, if you're going to central casting for like a hot governor, who didn't make maybe as many mistakes as Cuomo. Is that towards Newsom? That's true. You're catching feelings for it, Greg? Yeah, I think I'm going Newsom, big fan. Wait, let me Google him. I want to get a good look at him, though. Good-looking man.

Oh, come on. You don't know what our government? I mean, he's been on top of this. No, I mean, it's time to take a good look at him. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, wow. Hello. Damn, he's 6'3, too.

Greg. Seems like he'd be like a city official in, like, one of the Batman films, basically. Greg, you and Newsom would be such a great couple. He's that hulking Goliath, and he'd be on his arms. Anyway, that's good. That's who we're catching feelings for during the lockdown. And now it's that time, a 2020 flash with Mark Minko. Thank you, D-Man.

Will the NFL draft be undone by a gaggle of Luddites? With April's draft just weeks away and set to operate remotely, Adam Schepter reports certain coaches and front office staffers are reluctant to have faceless tech nerds in their home while the coronavirus does its thing. A point of view not shared by the D-Man, who loves when strangers enter his living space for casual small talk, fellowship over a potluck summer,

and maybe just see what the night leads to, right, D-Man? Just read the news, you jerk. Meanwhile, Bengals coach Zach Taylor says all options are on the table when it comes to ex-starting quarterback Andy Dalton. The glowing Ginger Man has other thoughts, though, with one Bengals insider telling us that Dalton wants to start elsewhere under a new contract that would allow, in quotes, dead presidents to rain down from every room in the house.

It's a workplace tactic made popular by our very own tiny box, who currently makes more than every staffer on this show combined, time six, while doing puzzles with a man in the bathrobe. Colts runner Nahim Hines is expected to get plenty more action this upcoming autumn for the athletic, not the case for the D-Man following his better half soft reboot in a household adrift with big toddler energy. Keep breathing. In Hollywood, is Jets quarterback Sam Darnold about to follow in the footsteps of Broadway Joe? Darnold's name has been discussed for a lead role in the much-anticipated follow-up

to Y2K's indie hit Chocolat with a working title of Chocolat Overdrive. The role would require Darnold to learn French from scratch and tumble into a heated love triangle with 56-year-old Juliet Binoche and 85-year-old Judy Dench. Not a problem for Darnold, according to Hollywood Power Agent Ryan Lord, noting Donald has been, in quotes, a huge dench guy for years and doesn't see age when looking at a female's overall makeup. We know the D-Man is happy for Sam, but at the same time, turning green with envy after spending the better half of 2006, founding the Dench Boys, a member-only fan club dedicated to tracking Dench's many on and off-screen love affairs, with reports every 20 minutes on a very slow newsday. This is Mark Sessler with your 2020 sports update.

Thanks, Minkman. A little concerned about what happened to Mickman days after we. What's that? There's a body bag on the floor and I'm in it. Yeah, I am a little concerned. You know, we launched the 2020 Flash in honor of WFAN and the Minkman, who is the best 2020 guy. And he gets canned days later. a little bit of a correlation

I'm a little worried about that I mean I'd go down the James Winston route and just say I'd take it as a compliment but I don't feel good about what happened because it was someone like he was embedded in my childhood you know yeah great man so one bit of news that the Mick man did miss

and we haven't been getting enough we haven't been getting a lot of news on the Bowringer front so I figured it's time to just morph things a little bit here let's catch up with a friend we haven't heard from a lot lately. And now another edition of

Sipping on Vino, checking on Gino. Yeah, it's our new program where we check in on Gino Smith, Greg's favorite football player of all time, the West Virginia product, former second round pick of the New York Jets, who was in the news, maybe not his fault that he was in the news.

He got dragged into the news cycle by his old head coach, Rex Ryan, who on ESPN, decided to take shots at his former quarterback. Here's what Rex had to say. Let's give him somebody else. Let's give him Gino Smith. Let's give him whoever. And let's see how many Super Bowls he would have won. Gino then shot back on Twitter.

My mama never liked dude. He'd been a snake. And y'all glorify it. Should have got fired after year one. Truth is we won eight games in 2013 after ESPN had us winning two and he got his job back. Somehow I'm caught up in the feud and I'm the scapegoat. Same guy that drafted me. Hashtag the business.

Gino Smith unemployed as of this time. Rex Ryan out of football on the sideline and making noise. Greg, your thoughts on your boy, Gino Smith. I mean, Rex seems to be projecting here. You know, he was expected to be this great head coach. He fizzled out. He's an under 500 coach. expected to be a big-time analyst.

That doesn't seem to be going that well. Now he's taking shots at Gino, who really did get Rex Ryan paid an extra year. If Gino Smith didn't win those games in December of 2013, Rex won't come back and blown it in 2014. Here we go again with Greg talking about Gino's 2013 December. I mean, is it a fact or not? Those jobs saved Rex Ryan.

Nobody remembers. Yeah, those games saved them. The calendar on Greg's Mount Rushmore House is just December 2013 with Gino sitting right next to him. And this is the same Rex who referred to Mari Cooper as a turd after Cooper signed his deal. I think what's happening here with Rex is either he now realizes he's never going to be a head coach again. And he doesn't want to take an assistant job. So he's now putting on the FU shades and deciding just to blow people up to get as much notoriety as possible.

I kind of get the vibe that's where he's at now. And I don't know. When these things are forced, they very rarely work. So Claibon said it well. It feels very desperate. Claibon said, give the Patriots Rex Ryan and see how that would have gone in 2000. Well, let me interject here. As someone who traveled along the Italian and Germanic countryside with Rex Ryan

and has spent plenty of time along with you guys working with his brother, I couldn't disagree more. I think he's correct in what he's said. His analysis is spot on. And I hope to hear more. I like that. Let it never be forgotten, Greg, that in January 2011, Rex Ryan went up to Foxborough and won a playoff game. I mean, Gino Smith's been involved with a lot more winning playoff games over the last few years than Rex Ryan.

He's still in the league. Define involved. I mean, he's the backup quarterback. But Russell Wilson needs help. When Philip Rivers needs help, they know where to go. They go to Gino. Yes, Gino's still unemployed, but we will be tracking it in our new segment. And that was another edition of Sipping on Vino, checking on Gino.

that segment has legs i could see i'll see many more chapters to come i would imagine over the next couple months i mean the thing with keeping up with bowringer which is one of my favorite when i was doing that's your guy gino's my guy so you go go pick another one of your guys no i mean i i think that it's don't you like the idea of a segment that keeps gino on the show in some capacity i mean not not if he's going to be mocked you know the dignity of gino He's very relevant, so it makes sense. All right. Let's have some more fun.

It's a slow news day in the NFL. So let's do it. Quarantine Mount Rushmore. Pick four people, cannot be loved ones, cannot be family, who would be your optimal people to shelter in place with for weeks slash months. Is this going to be months? Is it already months? What is time?

We're hitting 28 days tomorrow because that first Friday was the first bunker cast it was also the first day schools were out so that's 28 days as of tomorrow 28 days later anyway of the four at least one must be an NFL figure so Connie why don't we start again with you I'm very interested to hear what your quadrant would be all right now yeah let it rip okay this was very difficult I had many questions about it in terms of could we have somebody who is dead in quarantine with us? Not actively dead, obviously. But somebody from the past, bring them back.

That is not okay. So here are my four. I'm going to go with Michelle Obama because she's incredibly relatable, intelligent, inspiring, great conversationalists. Also, I want to know all the details about what actually happened at the White House and all the global drama that happened. And I feel like I would be able to get some of that. in quarantine, plus the extension of a Barack Obama FaceTime, it just feels like that would be

great. And I'd sign an NDA, no problem. Okay. Okay. I like that. Michelle Obama. And then my NFL figure is Mark Ingram because I just love him. He seems both chill and fun at the same time.

And I feel like he would be a great hang. Every time I've ever interviewed him, he is super easy to talk to. And it just feels like no matter what group you have assembled, he would be perfect to just drop in. And there's a good example that Mark could not select Mark Engelham because they are friends, whereas Colleen does not have a personal relationship so she could select him. That's my status update on where things stand between me and Mark Enger. I'm not sure he has any idea who I am at this point, but I'm hoping so.

Okay. I'm also going to go with Tina Faye because obviously she's hilarious and bright and she's from Philly, so that appeals to me. And it's somebody who I should do... You took one of mine. You took one of mine. Oh, so off your board, sorry. She is somebody that I...

She's someone I could do improv with, so then I'm ready to take that class with Ricky. You should do improv. Yeah, I'm going to brush up on my skills with Tina Faye. So I just want her... This is my favorite, like, not even under the radar feud between Erica and Colleen about the improv class that went. sideways that I signed up for because Colleen said she was picking the same one you were going to sign up anyway you're so full of Schitt's Creek it's ridiculous I'm pushing you to your ultimate potential

Ricky I'm just trying to get you there okay didn't you guys smooth this over with like a spa day didn't I suggest that and then you follow through yeah we we fell through it fell through yeah my I have a group on and um I can't use it on um Monday holiday weekends yeah so Anyway, I don't know what happens. The shocker, Colleen, didn't prioritize that quality time with Erica. Yeah. All right. She would have done the spa with MJ Acosta.

Listen, I was going to go to the spa with Erica. In fact, I texted her and I was like, oh, my God, it's Emma's birthday. We should definitely go to the spa together and take pictures and send them to Emma. But as it turns out, it was Emma, my nieces, my goddaughter's birthday and not Emma the second half of the broadcast. Questlove. Going to go with Questlove. Good. More Philly.

He's, yes, also Philly. He's been doing like all of these amazing sets during the lockdown. So I've always wanted to learn the drums. And I feel like bring your tables and we'll all hang out and play great music and do improv together. It'll be awesome. Ooh, that's a good one. That's a good. And who's your NFL player?

Ingram. Oh, Ingram. Okay, good. All right. That's a nice foursome. I like that. I know. well-rounded.

All right. Greg, you're up. If someone else go, you know. Oh, my God. All right. Mark, you're up. All right. I also struggle to this a little bit, but, you know, I'm going to go with some people that have made me think.

You're struggling a lot today, Mark. I am. I would say this has been a, from me, a D-minus performance, and that's being generous. I want to pull back the curtain a little bit. Mark is the most punctual member of the Around the NFL podcast. I'm on the other side of that probably. and when Mark sends us a text 20 minutes before showtime saying he needs extra time, you know something.

There's a war zone going on at the rented pad. Yeah, well, the skinny on that was, you know, my wife is trying to work full time right now and she was on a, I believe, a call or something. And I have two boys under the age of 10 that needed to go to the bathroom and not the easier way, but the harder option there at the same time. And one would not let the other into the room and was using like taking. 25 minutes washing his hands while I was trying to teach child number two how to squeeze your your butt cheeks so you know a gigantic issue doesn't happen it's a life skill but you know that was

happening about two minutes before we were meant to be signing on it's not always glamorous this this parent life it is not um I'm glad I never had that conversation with my dad squeeze your butt cheeks son don't act like you've never done it all right here we go for the quarantine foursome, five some, I guess. Number one, I'm going to go Alec Baldwin because I've always liked Baldwin. 30 Rock on fire. Yeah, but Baldwin, I mean, if you've been watching his live Instagram updates, which, you know, I always get him like, I'm going to watch like 12 seconds of this, but like five minutes later,

I'm like, I have no idea what he's talking about. He seems to be, I don't want to suggest that he's on a substance, but in a natural high of some sort and not operating in reality. And he also looks like he hasn't slept or done any. healthy in about four or five months. And the whole thing is just very appealing to me. And so he, I think he could add some gravitas to the room. I'm mixing it up.

It's male-female. I don't want all guys, you know, stuck together for four or five months. So number two. We knew you'd have females in the mix. All right. Well, I like it. Like, let's get some different personalities and vibes in there. Number two, Gale Godot, because I got to tell you something.

Oh, yeah. Here's what I do. I would put her in the corner after her little imagined song, which I think deliciously went totally sideways. She had to sit in a chair in a corner for the first, like, 10 days, and we would just be able to, you know, we could give her little plates of food or something. But she learned to live like the,

I love Greg's face right now, he said Paul. But she would learn to live like the common people. She's being punished, the preaching. You're punishing that? That seems like a tough way to start out on that. She's been very bad and she'll just sit in the corner. I think it's kind of hot. I don't know.

Well, and then, so the third person, because you're going to say, this is my NFL figure. you're going to say, oh, you know this person, but I've worked with this person for over a decade at this point, and the person has no idea that I exist in the same employment or workspace as him. That's Michael Irvin, who I know Colleen could not pick, she's close with, but an absolute, and I don't know anything about him other than what I see on screen, you've got to bring a wild card in,

and to me he is an absolute total wildcard in a locked-in space, and I want to see what he would come up with over the course of the next 28D, days. And my fourth person, you know, along the lines of the show that Erica watched, I still think that the last show that I'm a completest on before all this mess happened was Love and Love is Blind. And I'm going Gianna from Love is Blind because I've been tracking her Instagram and I find her to be also. Such a pre-COVID pick. Yeah. And she, well, she also, if you watch her Instagram feed, she seems to, although, you know, someone's writing some sort of message from her, have no idea that a pandemic exists. She's out about her garden like in a,

a $4,000 dress. She's doing her hair. She's eating like $6,000 cupcakes. Like, I, it's, it's while, while a nice break from the mess at the same time, I'm slightly appalled with her. So, and I consider her only, maybe one of the few people that's a bigger wildcard than Irvin. So you put all those people together.

And I just would be enjoying the sights and sounds. That's a delicious stew. Will she also be punished? No, she's not in that scene. And Gail Godot, you know, has a chance to repent for what she's done to the country. So you chose two women that you specifically have some animosity towards, but also attraction. Well, animosity for sure. I mean, but fleeting animosity.

Does Gail stay in the underground soundproof basement or does she go up and down to up and down with us? But she's in a, she's in the corner in like an uncomfortable chair and she's not allowed to move. All right. Chris Wesley Well, let's start with the football figure. Okay. We're going Ricky Williams. Ooh, I like that.

Traveler, soul searcher, wanderer, nonconformist, and sort of in the galje do vein. If he acts up, we just stick a football helmet on him and put him in the corner. I think he might have had a line in the Imagine song. I have to rewatch that. He might have. And, you know, we're going to start our franchise with a Marco Polo type of figure. I need somebody who's gone to the four corners of the earth and can regal us with stories.

And since I can't have Anthony Bourdain rest in peace, I'm picking Argentinian chef Francis Malman, who is actually the most interesting man in the world. If you ever seen Chef's Table on Netflix, he's on there. He has, we're going to be quarantined at his lakeside, hacienda in the mountains of Patagonia, right by a lake. So we're going to have that ambiance going. and I said he's a chef, so he works with fire, he works with water, and he always has the best ambience.

So we're going to start there. That's our first two picks. Then we go Issa Ray from HBO's Insecure. And Keisha and I are simpatico on my female picks. We're also going to go with Chrissy Teigen, who has chef abilities of her own, is funny and not bad to look at. She might be a little much to handle in a quarantine situation. Well, she can wear Ricky's football helmet in the corner. Wes, your list is like shockingly similar to the people that I almost had on mine,

which is crazy. Bordane was the one I was asking about whether or not we could have somebody dead on the list. Chrissy Teigen and Issa Rae were right there but didn't make the cut eventually. I love your list. I think it's great. Well, you can hang out with us as soon as the quarantine is over. Done. All right.

I will throw up mine. I wanted to hit different like areas of because there's a lot of this is about time killing, obviously. The NFL figure, I'll start there also, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and I'll give a shout out to Neil Reynolds because Neil, I have documented evidence that Neil had an amazing time with Fitzpatrick, who was very down to earth and easy to talk to and had some interesting interest. Maybe we go down to a waterhole. Maybe I'm, maybe I'm locked down at his pad, but too many kids there. Maybe I'll send the kids to California and just will be me, Ryan and my other two people at his house.

Is that cruel? I don't know. Not in this situation. Okay. I want to have somebody funny. So I'm going to go with Bill Hader. He seems like super down to earth. And I think he's one of the funniest guys in show business,

the business of show and just seems like a down to earth guy. That's important. I want down to earth people. But I want a rock star. Who's the most down to earth rock star? Dave Grohl. Give me Dave Grohl of the. the foo fighters. That dude has stories to tell. That's a big part of this too. I want to talk

to people that have lived the life. You know, Wes, Grohl is really big into barbecue now. He's got like multiple big green eggs. He's always smoking and grilling. He's on the circuit. Wes, uh, meat plants are shutting down at the, at the moment. So you better, you better, you better buy that meat up right now. Rich people can get anything they want. The amount of money that we have inside, uh, the bank accounts, we will get. meet, Mark. And finally, you know, I was going to go Tina Faye, but Colleen and you drafted her, so I'm going to go Tina Faye adjacent on some level, stay in the NBC family. I'll go Jenna Fisher. I love the office, love to binge the office. She's another very cool down-to-earth person

who I feel like we would hit it off, maybe a Jim Pam type vibe. So Jenna Fisher, Pam from the office is my fourth. So Hader, Grohl, Fisher, Fitzpatrick. I'm sure Emily would be absolutely thrilled with the tail end of that list there. No issues, no problems over the course of a five or six month, you know, locked in, lock in. Lock in. You have, you have an actress chained to your basement, gradient. I know, but I'm not, I mean. One of the stranger moments in our podcast history is Goodell and Godot in the car. I just assume I come out into a completely new world and family structure and everything else. So I'm just assuming that. I feel like Fisher is somewhat unassuming. I don't know if Emily would be messed up with that. But we,

maybe she is Greg is it are you ready now sure sure west got me uh thinking you do need someone um ideally that's like a great a great cook so i know and grobelled me out there yeah uh i'm gonna go podma from top chef if you're familiar with her she was on my list good choice good choice it's just it's just a strong choice and a great cook i'm i want musicians because i just want that i want some entertainment i want some personality i'm going lucinda williams to play some guitar i'm going Megan the stallion. I just think she'd add a lot of life to the party. And then I'm wrapping it up back with Teddy Bridgewater.

Didn't we enter this question like a week ago? It's just like me and Teddy hanging out with our three ladies and we're chilling. So Padma, Lucinda, Megan, and Teddy. Yeah. All right. You're going to talk to him about his little issue with air yards per attempt? I'm flying. We're not talking any football.

All right. Ricky, close it out. All right. So, first off, I have, this was tough. I had to go between Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake. But I ended up going with Taylor Swift for music just because. Smart choice. Yeah, just because we can hang out.

And, like, I just feel like she's super cool. And I'd love to see, like, behind the whole, sort of like the Tom Brady facade, like, what's, what she really like. For the funny option, I want to hang out with Kate McKinnon. So if she was hanging out, we could just do, we could just improve. proff skits together all day long. Finally, you'll have a blonde partner that you know is great. That I can count on that has to stay in my house.

So that'll be great. And then also I want Neil de Grassy Tyson to just like tell, to tell me like bedtime stories of just like how the world was created and he could, like, I could just think of the funniest sketches with like Kate McKinnon, Taylor Swift on her guitar and Neil de Grassy Tyson like, you know, like narrating us doing simple tasks. And then my NFL figure is... Oh, Neil will put you to bed. Yeah.

Yeah. But like make me smarter. And I really am interested in that. Like the way that he does planet Earth is so great. He could read books. No, I don't have time for that. Oh. No, I do like reading.

But I think he'd be cool to hang out with. And then lastly, my NFL figure is Matt Ryan. And I know, such a shocker out of left field, but I did an interview with him for Super Bowl with Sheck two years ago. Single-handedly, the nicest NFL player I have ever met, like, took the time to talk to us who was there, like the little people on the side, not the interview. He was like, oh, how's your day going? Like, oh, it's early.

Like, made conversation was super sweet. Like, took me a back at how nice he was. So I would take my gamble with that. You know what's interesting about that choice? Matt Ryan, there's a flip side of that coin. He is known as one of the meanest SOBs on the field in game action. And he's known to be very hard on teammates who go on the wrong side of him, if they make a mistake or some type of mental error.

So here's the only concern there. You got the nice guy that's doing the interviews on Radio Row at the Super Bowl. What if the real Matt Ryan is closer to the guy on the field? And you're like trapped in the house with like a psychopath. Yeah, but like Taylor Swift can beat him over the head with her guitar. Your description for Taylor was like, I want to see what she's really like. Like for this exercise, I don't want anyone who you're finding out what they're really like. You have a lot of gambles in your quarantine.

It's a lot of risk. Are you kidding me? You literally just, who was, who did you say Megan the stallion, Greg? She seems very nice. Yeah, but you don't know. Well, my real answer would be no one, of course. I mean, the real choice would be, I would rather be by myself. I'm not playing a game.

that. I'm just saying that's the obvious one. To Erica's point, we're going to get to know these actual people, all of them. I mean, it's going to be a bit of a coin flip how they turn out. Of all the people we mentioned, if this actually happened when we all reconvened on the other

side, I'm sure more than one of us would have a story of being deeply disappointed by one of our choices. That's just... Oh, no doubt. That's sad. And Mark's going to jail as soon as it's over. No, I'm going in.

Well, I'm going in extremely disappointed with two of the people. So it can only get better. I like yours. Yours is almost like you're trying to reform them in a way. Let's learn some lessons. It's a prison. All right. I just tried to Google Megan the Stallion.

Yeah, he made that name up. Right. I didn't know if it was Megan M.A. Stallion or T.H. She's literally like, you know, the biggest female rap star other than Cardi B in the world. I've never heard that name before in my life, for real. Yeah, I guess we're old. That's not on that. You guys have heard her songs, I swear.

Huh? Yeah. You guys have heard her songs. They're everywhere. There's no chance that you wouldn't recognize it. Probably not in my house. You want to get, give me Foxy Brown. That's a female rapper.

Hold on. Kisha is now rapping in the background, so she's heard of her. All right. D with an extra E, you know, T-H-E. Yeah. I'm sure her given name. Before we get to Wes's final. thought and what's on his radar.

I'm going to spin through it real quick. Sessler, Baldwin, Godot, Michael Irvin, Gianana. Giannana. Giannana. Giannina. I just called her Gianna. Connie Fox, Questla, Tina Love, Tina Faye, Michelle Obama, Mark Ingram, West, Ricky Williams, the chef guy.

What's his name? Francis Malman. Fancis Mulman. Issa Ray, Chrissy Teigen. A little bit of a trouble spot there potentially. Zusser, Hader, Grohl, Jenna Fisher, Fitzman. Magic. Greg, Padma, Lucinda, Megan Mastallion, Teddy Bridgewater, Ricky, Taylor Swift, Kate McKinnon, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and Matt Ryan. Maybe we'll do some type of social thing,

Ricky, find out who has the best for some. That's great. I love that. Greg could put it together since he, like, knows what does best on social. Mm-hmm. I miss you. All right, Wes, you got something that's on your mind. So it's time for Chris Wessling, the mailman. What's on his radar? Here's what's on my radar. People, writers in particular, who frequently substitute the word folks for people, human, citizens, fans, riff, raff, whatever, yet have never and would never speak the word

in actual conversation. Folks. If you don't say the word folks, don't write the word folks. Thank you. that's a great one Wes is it fair to say that Phil Sims and Chris Collinsworth are playing by your rules

Collinsworth is I know he's been on your radar for years for being folksy well the irony here yeah it's a very Midwestern type saying isn't it hey folks of course it's Midwestern it's Southern and people who actually use it cool keep using it so you think that let me

let me see if I'm reading the tea leaves here people are co-opting what is your region's colloquial term for you know good people there's two things going on here writers get tired of using the same word over and over again so you don't want to say people every time so i get that and the second thing that's going on is you're trying to act like somebody you're not you you don't say the word folks so just leave it out of your vocabulary altogether it's sort of like when people say that a player inked a deal like get out of here with that also signal caller really no i get it wow guilty i have a lot of

The triggers. We do say signal caller, though, because you just run out of things to say. We use signal caller. Field general. Out loud. Field general is a tad tedious. You have one, Mark. I don't know if you've been using it lately, but I've worked with you so long that I've read enough of your copy that you had one.

It was a description for either a quarterback or a running back. It was like a hurler or do you have some type of little outside the box descriptor? No, I've called it quarterback, all those things. it's like when you're in one of these stories where, to Greg's point, you're using the word quarterback 17 or 18 times. I find myself, when I look back at some old stuff I've written, which is rare, I'm like, what the heck was going through the body and the system when I decided to use that ultra cheesy word like hurler? I mean, it's just embarrassing. So, you know, Miaculpa, you're an oblong catapultor, you know, third year oblong catapult. Flinger, please.

It's like a baseball sports writer from 1877. The hurler, see? All right. Good one. Connie, you've said it all. You've came and you've done it. I love you guys. I miss you so much.

It's almost like we're hanging out. I'm trying to hug you through the camera. It's not quite working. It kind of looks like you're trying to choke us. That too. It feels like kids in the hall. All right. Check out, Colleen.

She's all over NFL Network right now. And a reminder to everyone tomorrow, Friday, no podcast, and said it's the return of the Around the NFL Twitter show. You know what? It's kind of a trial run.

leads our ends in a death penalty for us which is another possible scenario well for you sides of the coin continue or don't continue for you potentially I just hope none of us end up you know in the city in the corner of Mark's basement by the end of the administration you don't want to be there all right uh we will now talk privately about whether we can keep in the Gale Godot stuff and Jack Mark legally or if it will go off as is but thank you to everybody for listening.
