JASON FITZ: Hanging out with Saquon Barkley, joining us on behalf of Marriott Bonvoy. We’ll get to that in a second. But first, what’s in the cards? We’re playing the card game, higher or lower.

JASON FITZ: All right, higher or lower than a six? He says he’s not going to lose.

SAQUON BARKLEY: That’s where I’m going to go high.
