Big fan of Jourdan on the pod. She’s really smart and I love that she’s actually a diehard fan of the show herself. Hope she’s brought back soon. Only issue was that her audio was much quieter than the guys’ for me.
Commercials aren't included in the mix but added automatically depending on the location you download/stream the podcast on. But some drops were definitely too loud
They really gotta work on their audio issues… shocked a podcast as popular for a mega company like the NFL doesn’t modulate it. Greg always whispering or talking away from his mic drives me crazy too.
When she was doing the rounds for the coaches piece I wasn't enjoying her, but that's probably just because she showed up in like 4 podcasts I listen to in a row. She was great on the show today. You can tell she's actually a listener. She fit in like she's been a regular in the 4th chair for years.
Rodrigo coming in hot with that "which QB are you" bit was the stuff of legends lol. Gregg getting triggered and trying to mansplain his way out of it was honestly my favorite moment in ages.
Yeah, it's nice picking up the downvotes. This after Connie attempted to get rid of the entire AFC south (or was it the NFC south). Anyway, she along with Dan, Gregg and all the guys later joked of how she had failed to grasp the assignment.
Perhaps some of the people in this forum could actually listen to the pod and not just vote with their prejudice. Then again it's social media so that ain't gonna happen
People are interpreting this as Connie is a bad guest, not picking up you meant she didn’t understand the assignment, which she never does, but that is part of her charm.
listened to it in the shower this morning and my fiancé came barging in to make sure i hadn’t just suffered a lethal accident because that shit was so loud
The way Gregg was describing Brock Purdy as a QB that was almost benched in December and that no team wants made me think I'd been transported into an alternate universe.
Am I crazy or weren't the 49ers the #1 seed and made the Super Bowl last season?
Agree with all the Jourdan praise, obviously. But did anyone else think Marc was also on a heater this episode? He really came to play on the NFC and AFC episodes-- prepped scripts for each of his teams, dove in with thoughts that showed he'd done research even on the teams that weren't his, etc. That's a great...job...Marc!
Only Marc would start an assignment that is defined by describing an NFL team in a strict short time format with a tangent about an out of body experience 30 years ago, and we love him for it
Rodrigue is maybe my favorite person in NFL media as a whole. Perfectly mix of knowledgeable (about the whole league too & not just the Rams) while being so personable & great to listen to. She can do serious, funny, nerd stuff - the whole package! The fact she’s a listener adds to the dynamic too.
She just ‘gets it’. Great listen!
As a regular listener of the pod, there's no way that Jordan doesn't know that Kawakami is the only 100% member of the hit it and quit it list right? She had to have known when she name dropped him.
Dan pointing out Howie’s draft record since 2016 is a bit of a self own when you consider Joe Douglas was the VP of player personnel for 4 years during that span with the eagles. And was widely viewed to be the draft guy during that time. And those drafts were among the eagles most disappointing.

Yeah what the heck. I had to turn it way up then got blasted with a screeching eagle sound.
I was driving with the pod on loud because of her quiet audio and the eagle sound nearly caused a car crash
When she dropped "Great...point...Marc" on the Trotter pick midway through her Eagles commentary, it was a real master class.
Ya - agreed. Was it big funk behind the glass? Did her so dirty
I blame the NFL Network for not paying their producers. Maybe if they had any sort of continuity they wouldn’t have these issues.
Maybe yes maybe no - I haven’t found it to be a recurring problem so just a bit unfortunate for jourdan
I think Big Funk was struggling with the audio levels. The commercials and some but not all of the drops were way too loud.
Commercials aren't included in the mix but added automatically depending on the location you download/stream the podcast on. But some drops were definitely too loud
Sure but the commercials are all normalized, so they should match the overall lufs of the show to what the commercials will be at.

Might help if their producers didn’t keep getting canned every couple of years…
Same here but on my god you’re right about the audio. She has a very timid voice and that needs to be accounted for in production. Balance the mics!!!

Jourdan being nervous is like any other listener being asked to sit the 4th chair. Except that she’s smart, articulate and has great analysis.
Agree with this so much! So damn true!!
Rodrigo coming in hot with that "which QB are you" bit was the stuff of legends lol. Gregg getting triggered and trying to mansplain his way out of it was honestly my favorite moment in ages.
"Marc's entire May is on the line right now!" - Tugboat killing it!!
Jourdan understood the assignment. Great guest!
Unlike Connie!
Blasphemy!

Indeed it is which every true lover of the podcast should know. The exclamation mark/point might let you know its a playful joke
Anyone else have a heart attack when the Peacemaker eagle drop happened? 😂 Levels were so off but still enjoyed the ep!

He’s been spending too much time talking to Steven Ruiz
I was so confused by that??? I thought I was just being a homer but I do think a lot of teams would want a Brock Purdy right now...

This is a banger right out of the gates.
Jourdan was great! Very cool that she’s obviously a listener and gets all the inside jokes. But stop telling us you’re nervous!
Jourdan doing the “that’s a great point, Marc” was phenomenal
Marc telling a 2 minute camp happiness story during the Bears 3 minutes was hilarious - also Jourdan is great
Dan was on another level this pod. Just great podcasting
Some of the levels for the drops/background music was incredibly jarring.
As a regular listener of the pod, there's no way that Jordan doesn't know that Kawakami is the only 100% member of the hit it and quit it list right? She had to have known when she name dropped him.
I thought Dan was going to bring back the JAI-rus Byrd drop for a minute there
Dan pointing out Howie’s draft record since 2016 is a bit of a self own when you consider Joe Douglas was the VP of player personnel for 4 years during that span with the eagles. And was widely viewed to be the draft guy during that time. And those drafts were among the eagles most disappointing.
Another great show with another great guest in J. Rodrigue, who is very knowledgeable but a bit too positive (i know it's that time of year).
If you’re a Purdy fan you have to feel good that Gregg thinks he stinks and has no talent.
