First 90 secondsAdam Levitan· Host0:00
[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to episode 975 of the official establishtherun.com podcast, actually live streamed today. My name is Adam Levitan. Round one of the NFL draft is in the books. Round two will start in roughly five and a half hours from now. It is indeed a great time to be alive to discuss all pertinent topics. I'm joined by two young men you know and love. Evan Silva, how's it going today?
Evan Silva· Co-host0:42
It's going wonderful. Um, not as wonderful it is, as it is for all the dudes that got drafted last night, however. I don't know about you guys, but I spent the entire morning watching draft phone calls, bawling my eyes out. [laughs] Um, just getting very, very emotionable- emotional watching these dudes get these phone calls that, you know, one, one of the greatest days of their lives.
Adam Levitan· Host1:04
Indeed. John Daigle, how's it going today?
John Daigle· Co-host1:07
We'll just say shout out to our good friend who joined us for the initial rookie draft in Theo Gremminger finishing with the nation's highest, most accurate mock draft.
Adam Levitan· Host1:17
[laughs] Uh- Gets nothing for it, by the way, but- That's what- ...
John Daigle· Co-host1:21
I'm still proud of him.
Adam Levitan· Host1:22
Does anyone care? I know you guys love it. Does anyone care about these mock drafts and winning and having the most... Like, who cares? Who cares? Does it matter?
