You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Matt Haselback 18 years, 10 of them in Seattle, tough place to play for visitors. They host a Patriots tonight. Matt is going to join us now live. It's an exciting time. Season openers. Now season openers are a little different today. The season's longer. But you used to play in the preseason. Starders don't really play. Vareble didn't play his guys because they had a shorter off season.

3:14Take me to your openers. I would imagine I would be nervous. I mean, you were nervous, right? The season opener for the Packers or Seahawks, you'd be nervous. Yeah, I don't know if nervous is the right word, anxious. It's like a blind date, Colin, especially for the teams that are, you know, I always felt like this about myself. I was a preparer. Like I worked really hard. It's game plans and scouting reports. And the teams, the coaches and the players that rely on that, I think it's hardest for them because everything that you've seen so far in the preseason is a setup. It's a Trojan horse. We're running out of this personal group in this formation. This is the play we like. BS, no, it's not that you're setting up your week one opponent. That's why I think you see so many upsets week one. I mean, just last year, I mean, the two playoff, the two Super Bowl teams, the Patriots and the Seahawks both lost at home. The Patriots lost to the Raiders, the Seahawks lost to the Niners. Week one makes me nervous. Made me nervous as a player. It makes me nervous now. You don't know what you're going to get. Favors the offense.

4:17Okay, and I said this in music, in comedy and with offensive coaches, generally the great ones, you spot it pretty early. Shanahan McVey, Sean Payton, Ben Johnson, early 30s. You're the talk of the league because we like innovation with our football and offensive side is the innovative side, the choreography, the creativity. Brian Flurry is 47. He's never called plays. He coached defense for 15 years. Most great offensive coaches are intense. You hear you see him young. He's an old guy. He's kind of kind of chill and I'm like, that kind of worries me a little, right? He doesn't. The data says that's not what the next great Ben Johnson, Axe, or looks like. What's your take? Yeah, I disagree with your take. I mean, you make a really strong point, I guess, but I lost to Super Bowl to Bruce Ariens. When was Bruce Ariens a coordinator for the first time?

5:17Like when he was in his late 40s and, you know, I don't know. I mean, in my career, I can just think of the guys that I enjoyed going up against. I didn't mind going up against the younger guys. You know, I didn't like going up against the Mike Zimmer's and the Steve Spagnolo's like and those guys to my knowledge got their start. Like in their 40s or late 40s as coordinators in the NFL. So that doesn't bother me. You know, I think the big thing that worried me was I think clink Cupiac. That's those are big shoes to fill. They really are. But everything that I've seen. I've talked to Brian Flurry this off season, been in practice. I've seen how he's interacted with Mike McDonald. This is Mike McDonald's team on the offensive and the defense aside of the ball. So you're going to see Mike McDonald's personality even on offense. And I think that's why he hired Brian Flurry. He wants to be all about the run game. He wants to be all about shifts and motions. There's shifts and then there's motions. And I think this team they want to be on every play before the ball snap. They want to shift and emotion more than they've done in the past.

6:19So New England's interesting because AJ Brown not only is great, but he wants the ball. And I always think quarterbacks are at their best when they can kind of see the entire field. They don't feel breaking the huddle a pressure to get it to one guy. In fact, in Philadelphia when AJ Brown was targeted seven or fewer times. They're like 13 and 0 8 or more. They were slightly better than 500. You always told me you like to go to your star receiver early. You want to get guys going. What do you think New England's offense will look like now with a true dominant sideline one? Well, no, I agree with you. Absolutely. And I know it's more dangerous for an offense if you are spreading the ball around the great if you're a great receiver, the ball will find you. You don't have to script for success to get you the ball. So I think Josh McDaniel's Mike Vrable they understand this. And so I do think I know I know that AJ Brown is going to be a weapon for them, but he doesn't always have to get the ball to be a weapon.

7:24And this, you know, I think when you look at the New England Patriots of the wide receiver group, they're that's a big group. I mean, you mean Mac Hollins doesn't get talked about enough Kyle Williams, you know, was one of their bigger receivers last year. Now he's one of their shorter receivers based on who they're going to play. They got Romeo dobs there now. Like they're going to be a problem for people match up wise in the passing game. But they're not going to do what Philly did and try to like make someone happy in the wide receiver. They do not care about that. That's not the Patriot way. The Patriot way is all about winning games. And I think they did a nice job. You saw what they did with Stefan digs last year. Like it wasn't about Stefan digs his production. It was about getting wins. I think it'll be more of the same. I think Mike Vrable and AJ Brown have that kind of relationship, whether it be good like that. Well, you know this in both Green Bay and Seattle when you get to a Super Bowl or win a Super Bowl, all of a sudden the networks, they're going to change your schedule last year. Kansas City played like on every day except Tuesday. Seattle's opening on Wednesday. You know, they got them on Sunday and Monday for somebody that played on really good franchises that the networks more than ever.

8:32They're going to flex your schedule all over the place. Did you like because you're such a planner in a detail guy? I know I heard Peyton Manning hated it. Did you like the TV games where like the breaks are longer, the half times longer, the game that you're playing it on a different day. Seattle now is in that space. That's the new Seahawks. Did you like it? No, I don't think any player likes it really unless you're just dying to get your face on TV. No one really likes it. But that's why I think that the really I know the coaching staff. That's where they kind of make their bread and butt like they made that like if you're special as a head coach and you can a adjust the schedule in a way that's not disruptive and then be message to your team. We do not care like we do not care with this games at night. If it's in the morning, if it's on a Wednesday, it's on a Sunday, if it's on grass, if it's on field turf, if it's in the parking lot, we do not care. That's the mindset that we're going to have going in. I think that's where in my career, I've really felt like coaches nailed that.

9:32And then I've also felt like coaches made it a distraction. They were whining about it. They were letting their hair down and letting us know how they really felt. But the messaging in that I think is really important. And I believe in this case, Mike McDonald, he's proven that he's a guy that does not care. Seattle's at home tonight, but this is fascinating. They are 15 and two on the road the last two years. And that's way up in the Northwest. So they have long flights. That's better than the Rams. That's better than the Niners. That's better than anybody. Is there a trick to it? Or are they just a good team that wins a bunch of games and they happen to win them on the road? It seems to me that is a crazy road record for even, even in college, that's great. It's really incredible. And when I played for the Siop, I mentioned, you mentioned I played there 10 years, we struggled. We were sort of the opposite that we'd win all of our games at home. And then we looked like a completely different team at that 10 AM Pacific time game. We couldn't win it. Couldn't win against anybody. We get spanked against bad teams. And then we'd be a playoff team. It was very bizarre. Now the Siop's love late have been opposite of that. They've been a great road team.

10:43And I think it goes to that mindset of we don't care. Now for whatever reason, they got to translate that to how they play at home. And I think I think they're turning the corner there. But the hard part is learning to win on the road, not winning at home. Okay. I want to talk about the Rams and the Niners and the disparity on how they're traveling. So the Niners, it's like, it's like a wedding. They've been planning this thing for six months. They're there a week early. They've got the photographers. It's like, and the Rams are like very fly in land, win attack, go flight home. Which would you prefer? Which do you believe is the right way? Well, if I was the father of the bride, I'd rather be the Rams. It sounds much less expensive. That's usually how those long engagements go as well. No, listen, my first game in the NFL was a preseason game playing for the Packers. We're playing against the Kansas City Chiefs in Tokyo. We fly over there. I mean, obviously it's a ridiculously long flight. You don't even know what day it is. Never mind what time it is.

11:44The best I felt was the first practice when we were there. So I don't know the science of it. But I can just tell you anecdotally, the best we felt was in that first joint practice against the Chiefs. That's the best we felt. Now, by the time we get to the game, I think we were just like, win man, which way is up? So maybe there is some science to it. And I do believe that it takes an organization ahead coach with enough confidence to try something different than it's ever been done. And so then the other piece of it is is that yes, you got a game tomorrow night or tomorrow, but like you got a game after that. And so you're getting ready for this game. You want to win this game, but also your week two opponent. What's my recovery look like for that opponent? And so, you know, I'm not throwing stones at it. I'm actually not really that surprised by what the Rams are doing. Yeah, I kind of I kind of talk myself into this. Both what the Niners are doing and the Rams are doing is fine. Either show up playing leave or come a week early.

12:46What you don't want to do is come like two and a half days early and try to cheat it. Like if you're going to come early, make it a week and really get ready. And if you're not just fly and play, get out. So I argue that the only thing that doesn't work is kind of cheating it and go, okay, we'll show up two days early. And like you said, nobody knows what day it is. I think that. So I think I think it won't affect necessarily either team. So I don't have Kansas City in the playoffs. And I said this earlier, Justin Herbert has proven twice in his career. His offensive line can be in shambles. He'll get into the playoffs. Mahomes is different. When Patrick doesn't have good left tackle play. Greg Kosell says this. He adlibs. He's out of structure. He gets impatient. He's not as effective. That does not mean Herbert's better than Mahomes. But it does mean that Herbert is less effective, less affected by maybe it's because he's more tunnel vision. And Mahomes is more the artist. And when the artist gets in his head, he's less effective in erratic.

13:57But I look at them without Josh Simmons at left tackle and I'm like, okay, that kid's been hurt for three years. College pro. I think there is something about Patrick not trusting his backside. Now often injury. I mean, you tell me he does not look the same the last two years. Well, I also got also think about the scheme of it. If the chargers don't have their left tackle, what are they going to do? They're going to run the ball more. They're not going to say, hey, Justin Herbert go play playground ball. That's not what they're going to say. Now, it might just kind of happen at times. But then the chiefs, what are they going to do? Are they a run first harborm mentality team? No, they're fun and creative and throw it all over the field and a Patrick go do this and Kelsey go do that. Speed kills. It's just sort of like the mindset. I mean, I know Andy Reed was a was a guard at BYU and you think he was all about the run game, but he's kind of a throw it all over the field kind of guy. So I think I think that probably plays into this quite a bit. One more herd. The herd streams 24 hours a day, seven days a week within the IHART radio app.

I survived and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart and these are the survivor files. You just remember this low taunting voice next to my ear saying shut up. Don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up without a doubt, he was going to hurt me.

16:09I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. Their stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the survivor files with the Elizabeth Smart on the I Heart Radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, this is Kylie Breakman, Angela Jaretana, Jeremy Colhane, Patrick McDonald, and we're the hosts of the artists on artists on artists on artists podcast. The improvised character comedy podcast, we're each week a new panel of artists discuss their craft. Join us for a panel of wellness influencers. What I try to do is foe journal. I don't know, have you guys heard of foe journaling? Yeah, it's reading. It's called reading. So you're so we don't like to use that word anymore. Okay, a panel of New Yorker cartoonists. Have you guys done Terry Gross's Peloton class? No, I've been dying too.

17:10I'm so sorry. I'm seeing a reading of Sudako in the thousand paper cranes by Auderman Donald at the Wonderland bookstore. That's crazy. I went to the Wonderland bookstore yesterday and I heard Nora Jones do a reading of zero dark 30. No way. Patrick of the last bookstore though, Kim Kertroll is reading the guitar tabs of yesterday. A panel of Eurovision participants and we do a little Halloween sometimes. Does the Pope dress up? He, he winks on Halloween. It's right up next to the microphone. I hear you get the elbows here. The eyelashes hate each other. You never seen it least so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween. Listen to artists on artists on artists on the I heard radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts on the new podcast. Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie I'm Julie Pinero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita trading the pity for possibility.

18:23Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smile good. That's not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the I Heart Radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. If your bookshelf and your for you page are equally important to your personality, welcome home. This is pros society, the weekly podcast that's part book club, part group chat for thought daughters, pop culture obsessives and anyone who thinks pride and prejudice and love island deserve the same level of discourse. I'm Eli Rallo and every week we're connecting the dots between books, the internet and the conversations everyone can't stop having. I'm going to have to look up this story. I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed.

19:25From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table. So like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters and that is the Trojan horse, whether you're looking for literary deep dives, smart pop culture conversations or a community of readers who love to think a little too much, you're in the right place. Listen to pros society on the I Heart Radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. See you between the pages. The, I'm going to throw my NFL predictions. Can we put those on the board? My NFL, I don't want you to pick them apart. Now I have five new playoff teams. That's about the average over the last 30 years. I do think there I told everybody really if you look at my predictions, I mostly went with really good quarterbacks. I don't know about Tyler Schuck, but I thought he was surprisingly good late and I don't think that's a great division. So I said easy schedule, saints. I'm going to roll the dice on them. Mostly I went with good quarterbacks.

20:29My home's the great one that's not in there. Is there anything that jumps out to you any division, any playoff team, bingles by the way that schedule is pretty workable and they bought a defense. So that's interesting. Who do you not like? Well, just look at your division winners right there. I like the Steelers. I like the Steelers a lot this year. I know there's a lot of shade being thrown their way about their age and you know some things like that. I do think this Mike McCarthy Aaron Rogers marriage is going to work. I think that's pretty strong. I also probably get ridiculed for this, but I like the Dallas Cowboys. I think the Dallas Cowboys on offense were incredible. Their defense was the opposite of that. I think that that can get fixed and then you get some close ones. The chargers there I would disagree with you as well. I think Denver Broncos are getting slept on. I think the Denver Broncos should have been in the Super Bowl last year and they weren't and I think they're a much better team than you think. But no, this is some interesting thing. The thing that shocks me the most about your picks is that you pick the Detroit lines. That's probably my surprise as I look at this and not because I don't believe in the lines, but I just didn't see you picking against your bears.

21:40So that's that's what stands out immediately. I know a lot of people call me America's honesty broker. Hasselbeck, you know, I don't let where I live, dictate. Mostly. Why do you? Well, I mean, for me, I might even put the Packers there. Just to say no. Well, I think the Packers could research. Okay, I don't know why this is, but Jordan love has struggled in September. No, Mike in September and they open up against Minnesota. By the way, let me ask you about the Viking. I said this earlier that division so hard you played in it. I'm like, I've Minnesota won the division. I would not be shocked. I love the coach. I love the defensive coordinator. I think Kyler Murray is actually good. I don't know. Nobody likes him. I think he's unpopular. I think I think he's got one of the high. Then they have one of the high. His passer rating is equal to Matt Stafford and he's never even a decent offensive line. JT McCarty, that distraction's gone. Where are you on the Vikings and the Kyler Murray story? Well, I'll just say this about the Vikings. You you can quietly talk. They meant I say this publicly, but if you quietly talk to the quarterbacks in the NFL, they do not want to play Brian Flores.

22:45It's such a headache. It's such a headache. Everything looks the same. The blitzes, the bluff blitzes. He doesn't care. When you're playing a defensive coordinator that's like, man, I don't care. I'm not nervous about anything. If we get you, we get you, we probably score. But if you beat us, you beat us. I'd rather go down swinging. His mindset is, and you don't want to play it. That's the dangerous place to be as a decordator. That defense doesn't really almost matter how much talent they have. They could be really successful this year and they could beat up on people. I know I picked them fourth. If they win, I'll get crushed. But that could be the best fourth place team in league history. If they won the division, I would not be shocked. I think it's funny. We tend to like athletes we can relate to. I think Kyler's, he's kind of sullen. He's kind of quiet. There was the video game stuff. I get why fans are not into him. But I will say, he's got some Russell Wilson in his prime stuff where he's moving around. The deep balls pretty.

23:51It's Arizona. The coaching, the ownership, the division. It's like, yeah, I'm not sure how many. Matt Stafford didn't win a playoff game in Detroit. Everybody's always banging on the quarterback. It's hard to win in Arizona. Well, you mentioned like you can go certain places in the coaching matters at the quarterback position between Kevin and Josh McCown and all the guys that they have there. The missing piece for Kyler Murray hasn't been talent. He's ridiculous. He's a great thrower of the ball. He's so dangerous with his legs. Probably as dangerous as anybody minus Lamar. He's ridiculous that way. So if he can put that final piece together of, I don't know what it is. It's an intangible. It's somewhat a little bit of leadership. It's a little bit of the energy that you give off. Yeah. You walk into a restaurant. You walk into a bar. There's a vibe. You can tell kind of very soon, like, do I want to stay here? Is this my spot? Is this not my spot? I think he can change the vibe that people have had on him early in his career. And he could put it all together and be special. That's absolutely in front of him if he wants it.

24:57By the way, have you ever walked into a restaurant with your wife and literally circled it and left because of the vibe? Often. I just did it. Usually if there's a white tablecloth, I'm out usually. It's a deal breaker. I literally did it last week. My wife's like, this is Dullsville. Dullsville. And I want to have a good time tonight. We walked right out. There you go. I hear you. I'm with you. Good to see you, buddy. All right. Big one tonight, Colin. See about. All right. You know, Kevin Wildes on the show after us used to have a great fear. Well, he still does have the theory. His whole theory was if he owned a bar in New York, I always thought this was the greatest bar theory that he would have a curtain. And if there's only eight people in there, he would bring the curtain in and make it look crowded. So in New York, when you're on the sidewalk and you're walking by bars, you kind of look in and go, you want to be in there. Well, if there's eight people in a big space, you're not going to go in. If there's nine people in a small space, you're like, oh, and so you just move this like not canopy, but this kind of curtain. And you would shrink the bar. And everybody would be like, oh, and then you could expand it as people poured into the bar.

26:11I don't know. I that is what's that John Tapper guy? He's always talking about do this that that's how you clean your bar up, bringing a giant curtain is moving back and forth. Jay Mac with the news. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Turn on the news. This is the her you learn stuff. That's the show you learn. I don't know about that. I'm going to have to give that more thought. It does not sound really revolutionary. I put up a curtain to make our bar look really attractive. How about just hire hot people to come into your bar? I mean, come on. Anyway, let's start with Joe burrow. I'm sorry, Joe burrow, Colin. Listen, we've done a lot of Joe burrow's stories this year because he seems ornery and doesn't want to be there. Well, now, hey, Joe's cleaning it up, Colin. He really, really laid down the law this week saying, I'm efficient with my words. That leads some room for interpretation. But I'm here for the long haul. I'm not going anywhere.

27:12Maybe he's channeling what's his name from Wolf of Wall Street, Leonardo DiCaprio. It has bad words in it. Well, listen, there's reason to be optimistic. They bring back everybody. They bought a defense. They're all fences. I would have say about that. I think you meant like him being their long term. Well, I mean, I think they're guy. I think it's what's there over under? I mean, Vegas has an over under it. Nine and a half, ten and a half. Someone like it's ten and a half. Okay. Vegas is all in on Cincinnati. Yeah, no, I mean, I think so. Yeah, I mean, that's that's like I've said. I think the Giants and the Bengals literally like double their wind totals this year. Giants we can argue about. If burrows upright, look at that schedule. There's a lot of double use. And there's. And I just I see a lot of Washington, Pittsburgh, Saints, Tampa, Miami, Titans, Falcons, Browns. There's there's like eight baked in wins there. So I'll remind people about that if you don't have a quarterback, you have no chance.

28:12Remember the Bengals had Andy Dalton. I think he went something like Owen seven in the playoffs or he got he wanted his division twice. He wanted a couple that couldn't win in the playoffs. So like you got Joe burrow now. You just pay him and keep him happy. That's all you got to do. Everything should be like how's Joe? Is he feeling good? You got Joe burrow. You got a chance. Now they haven't been in the playoffs the last few years because glass Joe keeps getting hurt. I don't know. You want to say it with your chest? Are they going to the Super Bowl this year? They are an absolute playoff team this year and they're a playoff winning team. They'll win playoff games. And if they're not, can we finally, you know, kick Zach Taylor to the curb? Yeah, I think if they don't with this roster, it's time. Yeah. What about the cheapness of the front office? Well, they they honestly between Kyle Dugger, um, boy, a Maffee, Maffee, and Dexter Lawrence. There's some things. Well, Alan Jonathan Alan, they went and bought there's another didn't they get another safety or somebody in the backhand like? They were going a lot of guys. Well, I mean, listen, when you got nobody and you now have guys, you go from dead last in defense to like what league average?

29:18No, they'll be. They'll be top 10-ish. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down my friend. Not that many great defenses in the NFL. There's not. Jets have a good one. Let's move on to Mike Tomlin. Colin. He's retired, but we're still talking about him because he's kind of a legendary figure in the league. Um, he sat down recently with Chris Collinsworth and everybody wants to know, hey, if the job opens up, is Tomlin going to get it? Here's Tomlin on the possibility of a return. It's certainly not a 32 team league for me, but I've also learned to never say never. I love the coach. I love all the challenges of the profession. I love to be a part of growth and development of young people individually. So I was paying attention earlier to your non-playoff teams this coming year. These are the coaches that you had not making the playoffs. Shanahan LaFlore Andy Reed Koc. I can see Kansas City. I could see hiring him.

30:18What if Andy Reed's like I'm walking away? Yeah, if Andy Reed retires health or just wants to retire, I could Kansas City would go. Kansas City would be like they'd go get a grown up. I mean, like Andy Reed, let's go get somebody who's won a Super Bowl or been to a Super Bowl. Let's go get a real big time coach. Kansas City, I could see going and getting Mike Tung. In that division with Harbaugh and Sean Payton in a Flint, Kubeak hits, you can't just roll the dice in a coordinator. You got to get a grown up. You got to get somebody. Colin, I love Tomlin. What have you done for me lately, buddy? Have you had a playoff? Well, he would inherit my homes. He's been pretty good when he has a great quarterback. Yeah, I could coach the Chiefs of the Homes and we're a perennial playoffs. Let's go get a real big time coach. I'm going to play off the go. Final story, Colin. Let's go down under. Got to talk about the Rams. 49ers or Rams left for the big game tomorrow, although I won't pretend to know what when that is Australia time.

31:18Aaron Donna will not play, but here is video footage from Byron Young of the Rams on board the flight. And Byron Young, this ain't flying, Colin. This is not a normal area. It's the most expensive charter plane in the world. Okay, I think this is a little bit overblown. We need to be looking at some other story lines. I mean, this is not flying coach, not even a comedy. This isn't business class. This is not first class. This is above that. Well, I don't see this once in my life. I flew near the front of the plane. That was like two weeks ago. And when I did, it was because it was a really long flight. So I, you know, I said, I want to pay for this. So my wife and I went on a flight one time and it was a long flight. And I don't love flying. So I said, let's just suck it up and pay. And let me tell you something. It was Swiss air.

32:19It sounds very smart. I had chocolates. I had a glass of a vino. I may have taken another nap. I got to taste something. I walked off that plane. You're ready to go. I could have gone to a gym. I could have played. So the bottom line is stay hydrated. Eat several light meals. You know, yeah, get up and walk around four or five times. You're doing laps. So we went to Spain. And my wife has this hack where you're able to, you buy premium economy for the long flight. But what you do is you keep refreshing every day and they keep lowering prices on first class and business class. And then when it gets to your price point that you like, you buy those. So we had the lie down seats on the way to Spain. And again, you hit the ground and boom, I'm ready to go. What's up? I don't need, I'm not like jet lagged and all weird. I think the Rams are going to be fine at this game, come on. Yeah, I think. I am somebody that, you know, they'll take, suck it up.

33:20Like my take is, you know, when you travel to Europe in Chicago now, it's only about a seven hour flight to Europe instead of 10 when I lived in LA. And it's just one of those things where they always say when you land in Europe, stay awake. Yeah. Don't go to bed, stay awake. And there's a certain energy when you travel a long distance that you're so grateful to be on the ground. And I think it's, you have a certain energy that gets you through about the first 36 hours. Then you can collapse or you sleep the entire way in the way home. But I, in my life, when I've traveled long distances, I, you know, they invented energy drinks for a reason. You get up, you're hydrated, you're rock and roll and you just fight through it. And you, you solve your, you solve your sleep deprivation pretty quickly. Yeah. J-Mac with the news. Well, that's the news. And thanks for stopping by. The Herd Line News. Scammers are using fake e-card invitations from e-vite, paperless post,

35:26When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and health captive for nine months. I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the survivor files. You just remember this low taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. Their story is about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the survivor files with Elizabeth Smart on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

36:26Hi, this is Kylie Breakman, Angel Jaretana, Jeremy Colhane, Patrick McDonald, and we're the hosts of the artists on artists on artists on artists podcast. The Improvised Character Comedy Podcasts were each week a new panel of artists discuss their craft. Join us for a panel of wellness influencers. What I try to do is foe journal. I don't know, I think you guys heard of foe journaling. Yeah, it's reading, it's called reading. So you're, so we don't like to use that word anymore. Okay, a panel of New Yorker cartoonists. Have you guys done Terry Gross's Peloton class? No! I've been dying too. I'm so sorry, I'm seeing a reading of Sudako in the Thousand Paper Cranes by Audrement Donald at the Wonderland Bookstore on 14th. That's crazy, I went to the Wonderland Bookstore yesterday and I heard Nora Jones do a reading of Zero Dark Thirty. No way! Patrick of the last bookstore though, Kim Katrol is reading the guitar tabs of yesterday. A panel of Eurovision participants. And we do a little Halloween sometimes. Does the Pope dress up?

37:27He, he winks on Halloween. It's right up next to the microphone. I hear you get the elbows here, the eyelashes hate each other. You never seen Italy so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween. Listen to artists on artists on artists on the IHR radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose Option B. I'm Julie Pinierro and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I try to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us, not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself.

38:33So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're a bookshelf and you're for you page are equally important to your personality, welcome home. This is Pro's Society, the weekly podcast that's part book club, part group chat for thought daughters, pop culture obsessives, and anyone who thinks pride and prejudice and love island deserve the same level of discourse. I'm Eli Rallo and every week we're connecting the dots between books, the internet, and the conversations everyone can't stop having. I'm gonna have to look up this story. Yeah, I'm obsessed, so obsessed. From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table. So like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters and that is a Trojan horse, whether you're looking for literary deep dives, smart pop culture conversations, or a community of readers who love to think a little too much,

39:36you're in the right place. Listen to Pro's Society on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. See you between the pages. Last year, schedules matter in the NFL. The Patriots ranked 27th in Miles Travel that didn't travel much. This year opening in Seattle, also they have a game in Germany, they will travel 5th most in the NFL. So it is a rough schedule, even that Jacksonville game September in Florida, it gets soupy. That is a tough place to play at Chicago, at Seattle, at LA against the chargers, Midwest, at, you know, you're going to Kansas City. That's a lot of miles on the road. Matt Haslebeck earlier, they got new weapons, AJ Brown, Romeo, Dobbs, they got new weapons.

40:42Here's Matt Haslebeck on the opener for New England tonight. I know it's more dangerous for an offense if you are spreading the ball around. If you're a great receiver, the ball will find you. You don't have to script for success to get you the ball. So I think Josh McDaniel's Mike Vrayble, they understand this. You saw what they did with Stefan Diggs last year. Like it wasn't about Stefan Diggs's production, it was about getting wins. I think it'll be more of the same. I think Mike Vrayble and AJ Brown have that kind of relationship, whether it be good like that. All right, let's put up a week one NFL schedule. Haslebeck talked about this. You don't really know everything in the preseason is kind of a decoy, a fake out. They want you to look at some preseason film. Listen, I think New England could beat Seattle tonight. Absolutely. So if there if I said three games could be an upset. And again, it's not college. Upset is a road team winning as a dog. New England at Seattle could win tonight. That's one of the upsets.

41:42I think Carolina at home against the Bears Sunday Fox. That's a really good one o'clock game. Really good one o'clock game on Fox. That's got upset written all over it. I'll tell you, I don't know if it's an upset Texans beating Buffalo. Yeah, that lines touch and go. Many breaking news in Packers Vikings. Kevin O'Connell just announced the quarterback depth chart, Colourmary. Number one Carson went to JJ McCarthy three for their opener against the pack. Yeah, it's over when pressed. O'Connell said it's I'm looking at this as week to week. Yeah, I mean, that's that thing's done. That's it. Yeah, the conversation. Well, unless he goes to the chargers to back up just in Herbert, I don't know what the trade value is. Why would they want him? Herbert doesn't get hurt. Harbour called him the best quarterback ahead of the draft. Come on. Well, I'm the kind of that's his guy, but wow. Yeah, I like Vikings. Do you want the Vikings over the Packers? Yeah, I like Minnesota week one.

42:42I think people are going to be talking about Minnesota. I think they win double digits. That Brian Flores defense. Ooh, we. Let's slow down a little there for little ambitious.
