You know, how do you see the secular cycle emerging as, as drug production moves closer to the Americans, uh, and governments become more concerned about pharmaceutical security? Uh, is this a genuine long-term investment cycle, or is this a recovery phase post-COVID?

I think, um, it might be all of the above.

Um, it is a negative in the context of having to make the drugs in the US market, which is more expensive, that's for sure.

But again, all your competitors face the same hurdles, and those competitors that are well-situated in those markets and have the flexibility to make more end product should be where we want to invest our money.

So we see advantage in that.

For instance, um, in cloud computing.

We were saying earlier that everything is AI.

You know, in a world of AI disruption, energy costs being as high as they are and possibly going even, even higher, and the change of, uh, the, the supply chain environment, what gives you the confidence that, that a company's margins are, are sustainable, uh, at, at all at this point, or is this a more of a case of a, uh, a withdrawing tide lowers all boats?

okay to feel that way, and I think largely because of the defensive performance, even though they gave up 24 points and there were too many explosive plays, there was a lot to like.

Yeah, no, that's what I thought about our conversation earlier this week, and I'm looking forward to talking to the guys.

There were two primary things I think I felt really good about.

One was just the amount of three and outs, right? Like, I don't, obviously at this point, talking about Sanders still having a bad day seems like a trite point to make now.

We know what that was.

I don't know how we lost Dallas Goddard on two plays, whatever.

But by and large, the confidence that you were going to get a stop, and ultimately, even though they did give up essentially three or four big plays, really, it basically was enough to win.

What do you think? Well, it's

How excited are you to have football back?

I'm ready.

I'm feeling very ready for football.

Can't say I, listen, I was not a big fan of the Superbowl matchup last year.

So I can't say that the matchup last night, um, like really got me going.

Like I was like, Oh my God, I'm counting down.

I cannot wait to see new England and Seattle run it back.

But I just think right now, let's just start thinking of preseason as the first three to four weeks of the

Where are you at going into this Commanders season?

Um, I, I can't say I'm completely unaffected, you know, by, by the last couple of weeks.

I think you've...

You can only read negative things so many times without like starting to, to feel something.

Like, the only two, the only two sides of things I was seeing were like on one side, you know, "Oh my God, this team is awful.

They, they're not an operable offense." And then on the other side, you just see, like, fanboys who just post like, you know, random highlights from last year of like, "I can't believe they for-" or two years ago, you know, two years ago, "I can't believe they forgot Jayden's him." And I'm like, yeah, no, I mean, he, he was him.

I hope he is him.

Where is Peter Rosenberg?

I am trying to figure out how to get to my job.

I'm walking out of City Hall.

I just had an interview with Zoran Mondani.

Yeah, Zoran Mondani.

I'm familiar.

Wow, good for you.

How much is the conversation up there focused on Giants and Jets, or is it still baseball? Hell, maybe still talking about the Knicks.

uh...

it if you know the driving jets are certainly picking up right now um... now the next finally got quiet uh... you know for a little bit here uh... and then make the yankees you know the met season is over so there's been some excitement uh... with the last week or two about like the kid they have playing well But, you know, the Yankee conversation is just a matter of will Judge get back and will Bellinger come back and will they have a run in them? But no, I mean, the football is picking up, you know, particularly the Giants.

The football is picking up.

There's definitely some excitement around that team.

And they have, you know, varying degrees of expectation.

But people definitely expect that team to be better this year.

Where are you on should Jaden Daniels play in the preseason?

Um, it's, you know, the Giants and Jets are certainly picking up right now.

Um, no, the Knicks finally got quiet, um, you know, for a little bit here.

Um, and then the Yankees, you know, the Mets season is over.

So there's been some excitement, uh, with the last week or two about like the kids they have playing well.

But, you know, the Yankee conversation is just a matter of will Judge get back and will Bellinger come back and will they have a run in them? But no, I mean, the football is picking up, you know, particularly the Giants.

Didn't you wear Nikki Bella socks? Did that happen? Is that what I remember?

Yeah, yeah.

That was my first day working at WWE when Booker...

You know, we could probably pull up the footage of what look era Book was in at that time.

And Book said...

He goes, isn't your name, your name's Peter? And, and I said, uh, yeah.

And he goes, well, I didn't know your name was Mark.

Oba has to win this match, right? Is there any way Brock Lesnar walks out of Minneapolis with a victory?

And I'm wondering how you have heard the conversation around it becoming WWE Radio, if you've been bothered by any of the conversation, and if at all it affects Cheap Heat Live.

So I'm aware of it.

It was incredibly predictable, obviously.

I'm not saying that to mock the people with the feelings.

People's feelings that something going inside WWE instead of being independent is a totally fair thing to be frustrated about.

I am only going to say the only thing I will criticize is people who have gone after Dave LaGreca.

Like, it's just people showing their...

It's going to be awesome.

But I wonder where you are on a fellow Terp with Steph Diggs if you want them to bring him in.

Well, I mean, listen, relative, it's so funny.

Stefan Diggs is someone who I do in his, you know, in these latter years think of as being a little bit of an off the field problem kind of guy.

Just like the worst stuff.

But there was the substance on the boat and the four kids at like one time.

And there's just like a lot of noise around Steph.

Relative to IU, he's like another Jaden Daniels.

Where are you? You in New York? Where are

I kind of think the IU ship has completely sailed, but I wonder where you are on a fellow Terp with Steph Diggs if you want them to bring him in.

Um, I wouldn't have seen this years ago, but I'm thrilled to be seeing it now, and I think we're in for something special here because, again, the egos on these guys will not allow them to be anything but number one.

Now, of course, that's the main event Saturday night, and we know we have just absolute history on the line with Seth and Roman, the main event Sunday night.

But we'd be remiss to not ask you about the women.

IYO and Liv have a title match.

Um, on paper, Hunter, y- IYO, Liv, you could argue, is the, just the best pure wrestler in the locker room, men's or women's.

Many of the guys and girls would say that.

And you might not think of it as an even match up on paper, but there is something about Liv.

We'll find out who's number one.

How do you avoid burnout? Yeah, you're right.

Yeah.

Well, so, so it's a, it's a really interesting story.

I mean, I started at, at ESPN in 2015.

Um, and to say there was little interest in wrestling would be an understatement.

Um, so I was always trying to bring it into conversation and trying to do things with it.

I, I was at that point doing Cheap Heat.

[laughs]

Yeah, how do you avoid burnout? Yeah, you're right.

Yeah.

The first iteration of Cheap Heat was done under Grantland, Bill Simmons' original imprint.
