at you from El Paso, Texas. Jeff Biggie from Salt Lake City, Utah, home of the Church of the Latter-day Saints. I don't know why I advertised that, but I did. Potential sponsor. Fun fact. Fun fact. Potential sponsor. They got a lot of money. Or the church.

They got deep pockets. Price of Bitcoin is $56,603, which is nothing. If you're in the latter day saints, that's actually just an offering. That's just a tie. So if you're thinking about becoming a Mormon and you want to support this podcast, it's the Bitcoin get in line behind the Mormon church. Yeah.

Yeah. This is the Mormon episode. It's gone off the rails. Okay. We're recording a little bit earlier. i won't even say the date but the year of our lord is still 2024 why why make you feel like you're in the past when you're in the present uh thanks for tuning in uh we got a lot of things to talk about because we haven't podcasted in a long time a minute yeah been a minute. Yeah. I can't even remember the last time. Yeah. Huh. You found it. Yeah. It's been a while but we're here. Um starting the show off with

everybody. We got some fun topics. Uh we know that it is week three of college football and we're recording this after week one. Technically, week two if you count Thursday games, Florida State's already lost twice which is true. Um we're recording this after week one, technically week two, if you count Thursday games, Florida State's already lost twice, which is cool. We're going to talk some college football. We're going to talk about Trey's first visit to the great state of South Carolina. We're going to talk some Marine Corps stuff,

getting ready to do my annual training trip as my training heats up. If you didn't listen to last week's episode, episode 037 with Master Sergeant Sean Shepard, go check it out. If you like Jersey, if you like pizza, if you like funny jokes and fast talking white guys,

good episode. He was a great guest. Was he not? Great. Good. Good. Good. Good.

Good. Good. Dude. Great. Oh, maybe one of the best phenomenal i i i mean it's tough now it's getting tough well what i was gonna say what i was gonna say and you know i feel like sometimes i plug massonomics too much but i will give this to tanner he did kind of set the

tone of like the shticked. And I'll give you that. And we appreciate him. So like that one's up there for me. He changed the game. He changed the game. He started the game. Yeah, he started the game. But he, I mean, well, technically BW Tech was already a sponsor.

Let's be clear. They went through months of recruitment. Oh, the vetting process was thorough. It was four rounds of interviews. Trey was just here, and he's like, dude, there's two things I've done in my life. I've gotten vetted for adoption, and I've vetted a sponsor. He's like, what you put the sponsors through is not even close. No.

Direct quote. I actually said that. Yeah, he said that. That's what you've always said. Yeah, always said that. But I think like, so no offense to Tanner, I think Sean's was better, but had it

not been, he's standing on the shoulders of Giants. I mean, I'm out Rushmore, if you will. But anyway, thanks for tuning in. The Block High, we always get a shout out. Zach Copley is not up right now, but when it comes up, we'll read that out. Shout out Zach Copley, best ochre that we've ever had. That's true, but his, okay.

Yeah, Mount Rushmore. Against our last guest, okay. Yeah. I need to put those together. You need to. Blockite is 859778. We all know what that means. It is that high.

So let's get these guys on here. Oh, wait, they're already on. Episode 038 of the OK OK OK Guide Ons. OK Podcast.

Last week's episode was better in terms of okays. Yeah, I see the senior listed. All right, Jeff, what's on the slide deck? I mean, I think first and foremost, let's dive into Trey. Let's hear about your visit. You were just live in person. You were in the podcast studio at one point, I would assume. I was, yeah.

I sat in those chairs. I believe so. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Let's hear about your first impression so you're moving there short short and sweet am i moving there no uh but it's sorry hey it's people want to know who knows who knows who knows down the road you never know you never know uh short and sweet man after a fun day of traveling uh with twins um we made it to greenville i think we landed friday evening uh linked up with grant and d where do we go to chow that evening yeehaw so basically i think we went to all the places that you'd recommended on a previous episode. And they all checked out.

Yeah. So got in Friday evening, hung out all day Saturday, watched a lot of college football, got some breakfast Sunday morning, flew back home again. Yeah. What were you? So you landed Friday at, I think, 240, and you flew out Sunday at 140. So it really was like whatever that is, 36 hours, something like that. Yeah, it was quick.

But it was good. Yeah. And it was laid back. But, yeah, so Grand D got to meet the twins, which was pretty exciting. I got two, too. Yeah, Jordy got to. Jordy held one. Actually, Jordy walked up, and i just handed him a baby so

i kind of determined that that was your shtick i didn't realize it at first but like i you came in you're like boom here d take one and i looked at you guys hanging i was like oh they have like a little bit of relief well dude honestly jordy walked up you're like hold this baby someone else walked up hold this baby this is like you know it's like once you once you have a baby no one wants to talk to you really anymore they just care about the baby so i'm just like so you're skipping ahead yeah i'm like here you go here you go yeah yeah here's the baby but no they did uh traveling with twins is always a fun fun thing so um yeah how was that you know it's it get to the airport underrated the two overrated

you get to the airport and you're like oh i get here early and then like you get to the gate and you're like already boarding you're like like i thought i got here like two hours early so the time go so i know you need a new ticket right They just sit on your lap or how does that work? Yeah, they're a lap child. But you can't book the ticket without a birth date. I just learned that. Yeah, you learned that. But no, you just have a bunch of stuff. Like traveling to El Paso was substantially easier just by myself.

You just have a bunch of stuff and you're just like checking all these things. And then I'm like kind of getting frustrated. I'm like, why isn't Abby helping me? And I look over and she's like holding two babies. I'm like trying to get... Oh, that's why. All right, good, Abby. I got a couple reasons.

Oh, yeah. You got to check the stroller and all that stuff. Check the stroller. Check the car seat. They have their own bags they go in. You're just like, but we made it, you know, I heard that too. Each kid has their own bag.

The car seats have their own bag. That makes more sense. Just to clarify this to all the CPS listeners out there. So do the babies ride under the seat in front of you or in the bottom of the airplane? It depends on how big they are. Do they have to fit under the seat?

Overhead bin? Yeah, they're up in overhead. Yeah. Okay. It's better up there. Yeah. I got to say, potential sponsor, they reached out to me. You posted a photo of me, you, your babies,

and you could see the Nuna, right? Nuna stroller. And yeah, man, immediately they were like, hey, I heard you have a podcast. And I was like, look, I'm all about American manufacturing, but I don't care where these things are made. This technology of modern strollers is mind-blowing oh dude like i bet it's incredible it's like the tesla of strollers nuna that should be their tagline wow you told me a little bit about them

you told me why they how they get you like they're like oh you're gonna buy all these other things anyway yeah or or buy nice don't buy twice that's what it sounds like yeah nice stroller yeah they get you they get you yeah uh okay so real quick we'll just wrap up greenville because we got a lot of couch football talked about but i will say so jeff hasn't been here uh pj has come to visit he actually came to visit last august and he hasn't left yet. He's still here in Greenville. I'm here.

It's a long, not short and sweet. It's a long trip. So we definitely picked places off a couple criteria. You know, in lifting, we say most muscle mass, greatest effective range of motion, allows you to move the most weight. effective range of motion allows you to move the most weight. Whenever a Texan comes to me with two twins, I say most college football, decent to above average food, able to eat the most food. And so we definitely didn't hit like, hey, you're in Greenville.

You must eat here. You must experience this. We were going for like logistics were a big part of the planning. So we ate at yeehaw uh knoxville founded uh brewery slash chicken house spiciest yeah spiciest chicken that was your wife's fault not mine i pulled up when you guys were suffering through that but good tv great tv great tv and like kind of like you're in someone's backyard. You know, tables, chairs. I would agree with that, yeah. Yeah. Very easy to get to.

No parking restrictions. And then we ate at Home Team Barbecue. Talked about it on the show before. And listen, I went to the first Home Team when it opened in 2006, my first freshman year of college. I thought it was good then. Bar Still Sports just found it out six months ago. The home team's a go-to home team's good.

And then we ate at fork and plow farm to table. That's a good spot. If you were going to rank like, you know, food, what was your favorite food? What was your favorite atmosphere? You know,

and we watched the game at the Hyatt with that Notre Dame fan. So, you know, you see atmosphere. I'll go to yeehaw i thought that was probably my favorite just a very cool place to hang out very laid back with a lot of a lot of good seating it seemed a lot of a lot of open seats i liked it dude my favorite food i think was home team was probably the best so i got the i got the wings and the wings were also well to be fair like i got the wings and then i also had half a d's burger because we had a by design though by design

yeah we had a contract sneaking bites from a pregnant lady that's okay yeah no we had a contract she i gave her some wings and she gave me half a burger. Grant was there. He was the witness. We shook on it. Everyone was fine with it. I come to learn me and Grant have the same pet peeve. If us four go out to eat.

I would rather say we have the same philosophy. Okay, same philosophy. If us four go out to eat and we're sitting down and I want spaghetti meatballs, but Jeff orders first and Jeff goes, I want spaghetti meatballs. I then cannot get spaghetti meatballs. Actually, no one at the table can now order spaghetti meatballs. It bothers me if someone gets the same thing. It should be off the menu. I agree.

Yeah, I agree with that. That's tough. Grant and I share this philosophy. I agree with that. That's tough. Which, Grant and I share this philosophy. Yeah. I don't know. Does, like, if Jeff, if you went out to eat and all of us ordered the exact same thing, would that bother you? Not at all. That's so weird to me.

Not at all. That's so foreign to me. If I want to eat my favorite thing at Home team, then I'm ordering my favorite thing. Oh, man. I like, not only does it bother me, like it upsets me, especially if we're not in a chain and especially if someone's visiting. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, who knows what's good? But yeah, so anyway, Trey and I definitely hammered that. Okay, so Yeehaw Atmosphere, favorite food, was the wings or the burger at home team? Man, I don't know. That's tough. Six one way, half a dozen the other, man. I can't believe you didn't have barbecue.

What sort of burger were you talking about? I had a body. Grant got some turkey. I thought that was pretty good. Some smoked turkey. Jeff, what's the burger situation? I can't remember which one d got it was it was very good it was like it's a smash burger yeah smash burger um i love a smash but with all

the backyard fixings right so generally it's like a lot of times a smash burger is smash patties and cheese and bun and that's it you know maybe ketchup and mustard they serve it it times a smash burger is smash patties and cheese and bun, and that's it. Maybe ketchup and mustard. They serve it. It's a smash burger like that. But the lettuce, tomato, and onion situation is like if your mom was grilling burgers in the backyard. I can dig it. It's fresh and crunchy.

It's a good burger. Yeah. Honestly, I think the wings were very good, but I liked the burger, I think, more. Okay. And then for Fork and Plow, great name. You took one for the team. I did, yeah, because I was going to order what Dee got,

so I had to change it up. And you ordered what Dee thought she wanted. What I thought she wanted. So, actually, I'd be curious because I know Jeff, one of Jeff's favorite things about breakfast is that pancake. Jeff loves pancakes. Jeff loves waffles. Jeff loves pancakes. Jeff loves waffles. Jeff loves potatoes.

Jeff loves potatoes. Things you put syrup on, basically. Now, what's your opinion on savory pancakes? Let me paint the picture a little bit better. Paint the picture a little bit. So fork and plow, they hang their their hat if you would say and it could be a wide brim hat but in south china we just call those hats yeah but some what the layman may call a cowboy hat yeah but they hang that hat on uh on changing the menu multiple times a day

and it's not super upscale we're talking like you know entrees from 14 to 21 but they changed the menu a lot and so diana was uh you know had a hankering for some pancakes and uh the pancakes on the menu that day were interesting it was pancake with a layer of like canadian yeah and then another pancake and then a layer of like cheese yeah and then another Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan.

Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan.

Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan.

Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan.

Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. Pan. bite of that i don't want all of it um but pregnant women i mean if there's one thing that i've always

said is the decisiveness is just boom it's i'm pregnant and i'm hungry you've always said that yeah i've always said that always and uh so anyway diana kind of uh was thinking about the pancakes and then quickly made a decision not to get the pancakes and uh and she ordered the steak and eggs when trey wanted so then trey was like i want the pancakes i guess i told you i told the afterwards i was like you know he ordered those pancakes for you right and she's like no really i'm like yeah that's exactly who trey is he knew one you couldn't finish your steak and so he would get a little bit of that but he knew you kind of wanted the pancakes and uh anyway the pancakes were interesting and savory i will fun fact we've we left there and went to ihop and she ordered five

pancakes for five dollars and ate them all but uh yeah anyway problems yeah well and then i also ate half those pancakes and then abby said hey those look good i'll just have that so then abby had the rest of my pancakes and And I had whatever Abby ordered, which was good. I can't remember what it was. It was very memorable. Okay. So savory pancakes, Jeff's out. Yeah, I don't know about those pancakes.

No, I'm out too. I'm there. I'm mainly there for the syrup and the butter. That combo. Pancakes, the waffles, the French toast is just the vessel. For the syrup and the butter yeah so real quick okayest versus least okayest pancakes waffles french toast

french toast top oh that's bottom for me that's least okayest if i don't like one for the rest of my life oh i'd go waffle every time i think pancake is maybe bottom for me. That's least okay. If I pick one for the rest of my life. Oh, I'd go waffle every time. I think pancake is maybe bottom for me. I would say waffles on the bottom. I think pancake French toast waffle. Wow. Wow. Completely split

here. Have you guys ever been to Waffle House? I love those waffles. I put waffle at two. Have you ever been to French toast house? No, it doesn't exist maybe that's what maybe a pancake house is real maybe a pancake house is real

maybe the French Toast House is near the university in Texas because of the lease SEC school now there you go the more you know anyway savory pancakes Jeff? no does not sound that appealing you would try it jeff would jeff oh i would try him he'd be yeah jeff would it's breakfast for you don't let's i'm gonna try it that's for sure jeff would try that in south canada we just call

it food um yeah i would eat breakfast any time of the day personally yeah that's true i'm a big breakfast yeah um so this post it was like talking about like breakfast is like the like a very standardized like you could basically most people probably eat basically the same thing for breakfast every day but like you know your lunch and dinner oftentimes is like what kind of like changes up and rotates but like breakfast is like a very standard meal but people are okay with that but not for other meals which is funny that is true the cornerstone of meals i'll tell you you know one of the highlights of the trip is uh you hit me with an ad read is getting to meet b-dub yeah in the flesh in the flesh man got to spend some time with him,

man. Really cool dude. But I told him, I go, you're a good dude. You're better at taxes. Yeah. It's true.

Yeah. So you've always said. Did you do some taxes with him just for fun? Just, yeah, no, we just did like a mock tax return. Just to practice. Practice.

Yeah. It's like I said, I was just kind of vetting him. I'm like, Hey, are you this good? And he was, he was that practice. Yeah. Like I said, I was just kind of vetting him. I'm like, hey, are you this good? And he was. He was that good. Yeah.

We did hit the landmark early on in the trip. BW Tax took your picture in front of the sign. We took your picture in front of the sign, yeah. So I got to ask, you know, we hit a couple landmarks. We didn't hit a bunch. There was a bunch, you know, without two babies, trip would have been different, but it wouldn't have been as good. The babies were by far the highlight.

Yeah. But, you know, it was different in terms of, you know, going out and sightseeing and seeing the upstate. Logistics change. Yeah, logistics change. But we did go see the Strength Code Gym. Yep. And you did see BW Tax.

Yep. In terms of, like like bucket list items, which one really like, you know, flip the switch for you. Like, I mean, like you'd like the gym, but man, I, I, I, I have probably at least 75, maybe a hundred photos of you on your, on my phone, that one in front of BW tax. I don't know that I've ever seen you happier. It is your background.

Yeah. I think it's a screen saver now. Pregnant wife. Nope. Trey in front of BW tax. I mean, it's pretty okay to me. That's okay.

But you saw the gym. Saw the gym, man. That whole, that whole area was really, I think rock climbing. I don't know. I have this picture of being smaller, but that place is massive.

Yeah. It's near the rock climbing. That whole complex is really cool. Yeah. Even the places near it that we went to go check out. But yeah, gym setup was real sweet. You had a lot of cool equipment in there. Yeah.

Seemed like a really sweet spot, man. Boom. Trade to South Carolina. You didn't bring your hat i was a little disappointed man i can't i would have to wear it and i was like i gotta hold the baby it's been a little bit too hard no it is the the funny thing about wearing a hat which is what we call them here is when you travel with a hat it's a thing you know and like and you already have like two things you're carrying around and then you add a third thing like no i i i get it but uh yeah it's a good trip we watched some football we ate some or had spirit yeah yeah yeah i don't think anyone questioned where you were from they could tell no you know that my least favorite part is uh how many Notre Dame fans are in Greenville man it was bad brutal it was bad yeah the only thing worse than that is Clemson

fans yeah taters amen you're an enemy territory down there. Yeah, I know. That's where I like to be, behind enemy lines. Point of friction. That's where the leader puts himself. I'm all about the fog of war. MCDP tech won. I mean, we're kind of touching on it now. Do we just jump right into college football?

Yeah. How many lead ways do I have to get you to do? I mean, yeah mean yeah technically a couple weeks in here any like just overall initial impressions like of the season so far state sucks yeah yeah dude that's you know specifically dude angla that guy i can't say the quarterback the first was a first game there was were just, DJU, DJU. I don't think they ever actually said his last name. We'll stick with that.

Yeah. I feel bad for him, man. He's getting docked on. I kind of do, too. Yeah, he was supposed to come in there and take him to the promised land. I feel like not so much. Did you see the stats in their last three games? No, no. They lost to Georgia 63-3 to end the season. lane, I feel like. Do you see the stats in their last three games? No.

They lost to Georgia 63-3 to end the season. And then they lost to Georgia Tech by what? A field goal? It was close. Yeah. And then they got beat by Boston College. Bill O'Brien, right? Yeah.

Bill O'Brien. Bob? Yeah. Yeah. Bill O'Brien. Bob. Big Bob. But, yeah. They're having a rough season. Georgia Tech looks good. Georgia Tech looks good. They're 2-0. So, we'll see as time goes on how bad those losses are.

Because Boston College also looked good. But, again, who knows? Maybe Florida State just did that this year. The annoying part to me in BW was fired up today because Saturday night we were hanging with the ladies. Everyone left, went to bed, and I went to Trey's Hotel to watch Notre Dame-Texas A&M, which I'll lead into. I want to do around the room of after week one what we think about our teams just because I really want to talk about the Citadel.

But anyway, we go to watch the game. B comes and bw is like hey man i'm irish and i'm from boston when i was a kid i love notre dame and he's like and the longer i'm alive the more i hate them because they don't play anybody no one fans suck and goes, and this game will go down as, you know, beating a really good team at the beginning of the season. And they're only going to play the Trojans, the rest. But, I mean, so I thought the commentary on that, let's go with Trey first, A&M, and Notre Dame. I thought that commentary was super interesting because, you know,

and I like Kirk Herbstreit, but they were acting like Notre Dame was supposed to win. Yeah, to win the national championship. Yeah. And it's like, what were you guys, number 20 going in? Yeah. And Notre Dame's number seven. And so it's like, and then you have basically a touchdown game. And then you have basically a touchdown game.

And it's like, if I'm an announcer and hyping up these pre-ranked teams, I'm just like, yep, Notre Dame, top 10, A&M, top 20. Notre Dame showed they were top 10. But they were like, oh, the way they came in here and beat A&M, it's just unbelievable. And I'm like, one's ranked 7, one's ranked 20. But anyway, what are your thoughts? What are the A&M review boards saying post-game? What did you say you were going to win?

You said eight games, I think. Yeah, and I picked A&M actually beating Notre Dame. No, I picked them to win whenever we did that little quick snippet. Okay, okay, okay. I had them going eight and four. Okay. Which I still think that. I think after watching LSU play, I think LSU eight and four. Okay. Which I still, I still think that I think after watching LSU play,

I think they can, I think LSU is beatable. Yeah. Yeah. But man, I, I don't know. I think A&M,

like the quarter, the offense doesn't have any, a ton of weapons to go off of there. They look better in some areas than I thought. Like defense look good. Offensive line looked better areas than I thought, like defense look good. Offensive line looked better. And I thought wide receivers can catch a cold. And then the Connor Wegman was just like,

yeah, or COVID and Connor Wegman just didn't look like himself. And he's coming off that injury. So they looked rough, but the Notre Dame secondary looked really good. And I know they're supposed to be talented. So I don't know. I don't think that's a terrible game.

You know, I feel like you lost and I was rooting for you. And I like to make fun of A&M. But like, I wanted you to win that game. But like, that's not again, like I said a few episodes ago, I'd rather get punched in the face game one. Like, I'll go to me next. Gamecocks won. I learned nothing.

If anything, I'm like, we're terrible, right? You know, like it was just abysmal. And yeah, I don't know. Losing early on is always better. Yeah. I've always heard you can never, if you look really good week one or you look really bad week one or you look really bad week one it means nothing it's the jump from week one to week two that you're able to tell what a team

is going to be the rest of season yeah so i i think that's i think if they still stay next game then i'll be like oh yeah game cock sneak this year but i saw a good deal you know i got a i get a little group through with some guys to include previous guests. Steven Garcia, if you haven't seen it, go see it. But I posted a tweet and thread, and I said, imagine the outlook if Jared Brown catches the deep ball. No ineligible man downfield. He caught a big pass, and there's an ineligible man downfield.

Sellers doesn't trip Juju when the quarterback ran over Juju McDowell, which was all over Sports Center just making us look terrible fake field goal counted we did a beamer ball deal we threw the touchdown flag on the play gets called back we put up 42 points and no one bats an eye Mizzou beat mtsu by the same score last year and finishes an elite team you know beat UK some Gamecock fan and my brother replies and says imagine the outlook if odu doesn't fumble twice inside their own five nick harper doesn't run down the scoop and score gamecocks lose 26 10 heading to week two coachless beat uk and uh and i thought it was like a good like it's always like you know monday morning quarterbacks sunday

morning quarterback in college whatever but it was funny because if you looked at it, you're like, well, if that had counted and that had counted, we would have won big. And it's like, the only reason we still won this game is because that play happened and that play happened. But, hey, I'll never leave Columbia mad about a W. I'll tell you that much. Hey, win your clunkers, baby. Yeah.

All right, Jeff. Auburn, I don't even know. Auburn, I don't know. I don't think I can really take anything from this game. 73-3 over Alabama A&M. Oh, yeah, we did see that, yeah. I don't know. Just kind of the classic SEC season kickoff.

Just hang a bunch of points and then just like, I don't know. I think they just have better players, so I don't think it really shows anything. Would you rather win like 40-3? Dude, 73-3, that's hard to do against tall grass, man. Yeah. That's pretty good. I mean, yes, the freshman wide receivers, or the young wide receivers played well.

So there were definitely some things where you see, like, okay, they potentially have some weapons, but you're then – you're looking at, like, okay, well, who's the competition? Like, yeah, they should beat that team by that score just based off of, like, team composition alone and depth and all that stuff. I don't leave PGA. How did Butler do? Butler doesn't even...

Undefeated. They're undefeated. They never won, but they never lost. Before we go to the most exciting game of the weekend. It really was. You know who the biggest surprise to me was?

I guess USC. They looked a lot better than I thought they were going to look. When you say that, you mean the university in southern california i'm sorry the trojans yeah um the trojans looked a lot better and i thought they're gonna look but arkansas looked actually they looked really good i didn't see anything oh man yeah it's i don't know makes you upset that jimbo fisher was still calling plays last year instead of Bob Petrino. Yeah. Florida looked bad.

Florida looked bad. Yeah. I actually, I was going to say, I still think Gamecocks are a five, six win team. Florida did not look good. Yeah. Anyway. Florida did not look good. Yeah.

Anyway. I also love the football starting Thursday going all the way through Monday. That was pretty great. Amazing. That was pretty awesome. I also love when Georgia just beat Clemson's butt, and everyone around here has been so upset, and I love it. And I'm like, Gamecocks, undefeated. There you go. Clemson hasn, undefeated. There you go.

Thompson hasn't won a game. No, it's good. But I say, yeah, go to the most exciting game of the week. No one cares about the FCS, but Citadel did play Charleston Southern newly. They played it last year for the first time. Charleston Southern's better team, different conference. They call it the Low Country Boil. And there's a big silver pot full of shrimp, corn, and potatoes.

In South Carolina, we just call that a boil. And they announced that that was the game. We played at Charleston Southern, a bigger area. I think the dogs were 10.5 point dogs. And they hadn't won a game since 2022. November, we beat VMI. We were new coach last year, 0-11. I was on the fence.

I looked it up. You know, we're watching the Gamecock game. We're doing the logistics change, trying to get to narrow. We can watch Texas A&M, Notre Dame. And we're down 21-3 in the third. And I'm like, oh, man, this is going to be rough. And then I look, and it's 21-15. And I'm like, so you're saying there's a chance.

And B.W. Tax, big Citadel guy, we put it on, watching on his phone. Citadel goes down, scores, hits the PAT, up by one, 22-21. Charleston Southern has the ball with less than a minute left, throws like two beautiful long balls, sets up like a 41-yard and misses it and the dogs win and uh let's just say i've spent a little too much time on the citadel bulldogs forums lately i'm all in on this team play savannah state next week uh do they have a form or is it a slack uh they have a form but if you want to join the Slack and have questions about lifting,

call Grant. Link in the show notes. Indeed, indeed. All right, Jeff. What else we got? Oh, what else do we got? We got to talk about PJ getting married real quick. Oh, yeah. PJ getting married. Hey, how's married life?

Oh, you know, just married life. Give me some advice. Yeah, in my years doing this, my time how it is. Give me some advice. Yeah. Yeah. I've, you know, in my years doing this, my time doing this, I've picked up a few things. No, it was great. I guess I could just, yeah. Whatever you want to say.

Went to North Carolina. We, I was close to my family, got in a venue that got a hookup through one of my cousin's uncles, as you do in a small town, kind of like a farm. Try that in a small town. It was like a kind of one of those like farm sort of venues with the big barn and lights and cool stuff. It was really nice. My cousin officiated, he knocked it out of the park and it was fantastic.

How many people did you have? It was probably 80s something in there in the 80s it's funny how you're like you know we go into this and we're like all right for this we just want to like keep it like a small family wedding you know just kind of keep it private keep it real small and you start like adding up the people you're like okay this family oh then their brother oh but then their wife, oh, but then their wife, oh, they got those kids, though. What about this person, though? And, man, it's crazy how it spiderwebs out very quickly.

But, yeah, so we kept it as small as we possibly could. I mean, besides just, like, going to the courthouse. But we kept it as small as it could, and it was still in the 80s. But it was great. It's a good size, man, yeah. It was nice because, you know, I've heard this before. You can heard this before. Yeah. I've heard before people are like, you know, you're the bride and the groom and it's like, you're not even in the wedding. You're just like running around like a chicken

with their head cut off or something. Um, but it was, it was still a little like that, but it was small enough that like, yeah, you could actually go around and have a, at least a somewhat substantial conversation with people. Yeah. Me, me and Kate's dad performed a song. We were, I thought it'd be fun. I was, you know, musician for a long time. He's a real good musician, really good guitar player. So I was like, oh, we should do a little something, you know, bring the families together. And we did Randy Travis forever and ever. Amen. Classic. You know, I think it hits the criteria of good wedding song, simple. Everyone loves it. Just, you know, good, clean song. And he's actually a really good guitar player. So that, that was, that was

actually really fun. Randy followed that up with Get Low. You what? Randy or your father-in-law? Both. I'm pretty sure. I don't know how Randy is now, a guitar, but, well, you know. Hey, you know. Easy, too soon. Too soon. Anyway, yeah, man. And then we went to Charleston for the honeymoon. That was, we just hung around, ate food, sat around, went to the beach.

It was fun. Love it. Never been to Charleston. I'd say it's a fun place to hang.'s a good hang uh if you want to go um interestingly enough so now i'm officially allowed to uh re resume did it ever stop did it ever start uh the bulk so i gotta like put on the pounds now once i started getting fitted for the suit, I was like, I got to put a pause on this because if I go five pounds either way, it's going to get interesting. 200 pounds.

200 pounds. It's back at the apartment. I have drugs and milk today. I'm going to drink some more before I go to bed. That's the rule. You know what's crazy? This is something that

just heavy cream. This is something that, just heavy cream. This is something that I feel like is maybe just something that probably people can't really relate to. So when I go on a honeymoon, so I lost weight. As you've always said. As I've always said. Every time you go on a honeymoon. When people go on vacation, they're always like, oh, I gained 10 pounds. Oh, I gained 15 pounds.

I like lost five or six pounds. Oh, it must be nice. Yeah. I have like, oh, I gained 10 pounds. Oh, I gained 15 pounds. I lost five or six pounds. Oh, it must be nice. Yeah, I have the opposite problem. I got the tide going the other way, which is weird. I think I gained five pounds in 36 hours hanging on Greenville. Yeah, I think I gained 10. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know what it is.

Hey, Chow's continuous when Trey comes down. Oh, you know it, son. You still got like a Venmo link up somewhere if the fans want to send you something? Yeah, I think so. Trey, got your gifts. Thank you for that. Yeah, did you get my message that went with it? Yeah.

Yeah, we got it. We'll send you two just for that. That's my least no. I hate, dude, it's a pain. I'm not a fan of thank you cards. This is the thank you card I accept. Kate didn't know that your name was Robert and she pulls it up. She's like, who's Robert?

You gave us these awesome gifts. Who is this? I was like, you met him. Oh, yeah. To be fair. This is Trey. Enjoy, man. No, enjoy, man.

I'm glad you got him. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. To be fair, and I think we need to, we could go down a long rabbit hole. We're not going to. But we've gotten, you know, the Instagram account is, man, it's like, I think I have to make it private to stop the follows.

It's all Jeff, dude. Yeah, people were really fired up about the top 10 country. And the reason I said Randy Travis now is because he mentioned Randy Travis, who's a good one. I think it's attraction. If you're listening to this, we all love George Jones. Waylon Jennings is my favorite country singer. I've seen Willie Nelson three times times every time thinking it was his last

concert. Like the, the problem with that topic is there's no right answer. So if we offended you, thank you for being offended. That's interaction. We like interaction, but it's yeah.

Did we mess some things up yeah but we were you know in in the baptist community we call it fencing the table right it's time for the lord's supper you gotta you gotta say hey some people shouldn't be here some should and we were more about fencing the top 10 for country than we were saying who should be there um so we were we were keeping some people off but were people this heated uh when i say this heated i mean that yeah we actually probably no i jeff i would say we got over 20 comments either on youtube or, yeah, a couple. Or IG DMs where people were like, really? No, George Jones? I love it.

And I'm like, yeah. So anyway, country music's hard. Did you guys see what OU did with Toby Keith? No, but they do. Start of the fourth quarter now for the Sooners. They play courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue. And put Toby Keith up on. No, no, no. of the fourth quarter now for the Sooners they play courtesy of the red white and blue and uh that's actually pretty cool no no not only is it actually pretty cool but like if you watch the video you're like oh I would love that right it's it's it's the right time for that song it's cool so uh yeah oh you boomer sooner gotta play him this year boomer sooner next slide next slide

uh trey you wanted you were curious about like uh i guess it could be internal to the the strength co slack um where we've got a bunch of lifters right from all over the country and you were curious about like hey what whether you think it'd be a good idea or maybe one already exists somewhere, maybe Grant knows of it. It's like a kind of just a catalog of gyms that are kind of across the country of like, hey, I've been to this gym. It's a good spot.

It's in Tulsa. Here are their hours. Here's a link to the website, whatever. Yeah, here's the walk-in fee. I guess let's preface that is, I know Grant, you did like a little cross country tour of and Jeff you traveled a bit PJ you too

whenever y'all go out of town as I do frequently what's what do y'all look for in out of town gyms like how do you find how do you find the right spot are you do you google just barbell gyms I'll let these guys go first okay let's say you're going out of town jeff you're like i want to work out what do you look

tell you just work out of the hotel okay hey i usually do i've done that before find something to do um i'm trying to remember the last time i went to like a gym gym hunted down like a gym gym on the road jim's gym i don't know okay jim's gym when i was in charleston we we worked out at the hotel gym it was we just like bs'd around just like i did a bunch of pull-ups and shoulder press and so i so then i guess this is geared towards someone who is let's say on the promise program then i will say this uh one underrated tip is if you find you can find a rock climbing gym a lot of times they have a barbell section yeah okay usually very underutilized yeah yeah underutilized it's like a little bit of a hack if you see a rock climbing gym a lot of times they have one yeah i generally um view it completely

different not as a knock but i'm like hey if i'm gonna work out on a trip then it means different, not as a knock, but I'm like, hey, if I'm going to work out on a trip, then it means I'm not on vacation. True. If I'm on vacation, yeah, I might get hot and sweaty. Honestly, if I'm on vacation, I'm just mailing it in. I'm going to be active and do stuff,

but I'm just like, what is dancing around my hotel gym going to do? Like we do this week. Yeah. But I look like what what is dancing around my hotel gym gonna do like i'll squat like we do this week yeah yeah um but i look for crossfit i think crossfit's still number one most reliable for having barbells and squat racks uh you can look for barbell gyms which i do um but it's just harder and then like gym owners i'm one so i can say it it like, it's like making fun of rednecks. I'm a redneck. So like I can make fun of them. Like we're the dumbest people ever. Like the SEO on the website's terrible. We make it really hard for you to give us your money and just like come in and

go to the gym. So like if there's a good barbell gym there, it's probably not popping up on Google, unfortunately. So CrossFit does a little bit better job at that so i still think crossfit if you're traveling and you're running you know a barbell based program you need to squat and deadlift i would go to a crossfit gym uh but no i have uh jeff graham yeoman podcast uh he interviews uh builders and founders go check it out he probably sends me a slack message once a week and he's like man you have such a big following with so many people doing this program you need to have a

website where gyms pay you to be on it and you're showcasing places all over the country where people can go and lift and that i think he's 100 right i'm a little bit right now but i but i i have the framework for that uh and the training across america thing we did pj came out medicine houston and in new orleans and you know i think we've i think we went to eight gyms uh one doesn't exist anymore yeah one doesn't exist anymore but uh you know we, we went to eight gyms and, uh, yeah, it was Rusty's and the plates were rusty. Um, but, uh, the idea with that was to put a blog post together and then build on top of it. Like it wasn't about the YouTube videos. It was like, Hey, we'll, we'll house it and it'll be by state. Uh, we haven't got that done, but no, I think, I think it's a huge thing for people.

And, um, and I think that, you know, hopefully down the road, the following in the, not of the OK Podcast, maybe the Shrinko for Lucky. But, you know, the following is enough where it's like, hey, people can go hit this post, select a state and see places. And then there's tons of gyms across this country. It's like small little restaurants you've never heard of.

They don't advertise, don't do anything. But if you could showcase them, and it might be worth them to pay, no, I think that would be a great service. Trademark. Don't steal that idea. Yeah, trademark. Trademark. We said it.

Gabe, the trace mark. We said it, so now you can't do it. Dibs. Dibs. Shotgun. It's going to hold up in court. It's a million-dollar idea. Actually, I think it's a really good idea.

See, I was just saying Google Doc and just something simple, but that sounds like a lot more appetizing. Yeah, no, I think it'd be a lot better. And I think if you had enough of a following where gyms wanted to pay and then to be on it, I think it could be a great thing. it could be a great thing and i think you know it's start it's like uh hey let's start with i don't know can i get five gyms in big states that are highly populated in at least two gyms and you know states where they're less populated but i think i think it'd be a great thing i mean i know i'd love it uh i just do the work and research but then it's like does the gym on their google profile show photos like is their website just a, you know, form that you fill out,

which I get as like a personal trainer, like the form fields. Great. I want Jeff to go and then type in his name and his age and like what his goals are. But at the same time, like, I mean, I think today through our like text app for the Costa Mesa gym, I think four people were traveling I say today this weekend for Labor Day four to five people hey do you have open gym it's like boom

link they check out they get a key code emailed to them they go in and work out yeah anyway yeah it's a good idea great idea and we And we called dibs.

It's called the OK Jim. Ooh. It's OK. It's OK. That's it. Next trade topic here. You want to talk some barbecue? Oh, yeah. Oh, OK. So, yeah.

Grant also listed brisket. Grant posted just a Grant posted. Yeah, Grant also listed brisket in there. Yeah, Grant posted just a very wordy message. It just said brisket, which is very ambiguous. It might be a safe word. I don't know. But – I say brisket. You say sucks.

Brisket sucks. Yeah, hot take on that one. Yeah, hot take. So, I go – whenever I rank – I go to a lot of barbecue places in Texas. Whenever I rank, I always get the same thing, like brisket, jalapeno sausage. Unless someone else orders it. I'll make an exception because it's research. I'm doing research.

Yeah, research. No, I'm getting it. So if you're going to various spots, because South Carolina barbecue is different than Tex barbecue. Are you getting the same thing at every barbecue spot in South Carolina to match it up? No, I'm not. No.

Okay. Interesting. Yeah. I mean, that's interesting. So I think we've said this before, and I'll stand by my guns. The difference between pulled pork and brisket is that bad pulled pork, in my opinion, is still pretty good. And bad brisket is roast beef. True.

And like really bad. I agree with that. The other difference in our two states is that your state is branded better being Texas. And so everyone tries to make brisket. And so I would go as far to say that you're going to have more bad brisket in Texas than other places. I agree with that. Because the number of people that do it, right? Yeah, there's a lot more.

Yeah, I've told you Fort Worth area, Cadillac barbecue is my favorite. I think they have the best brisket and i'm not a brisket guy but in terms of like good barbecue i think it's there in south carolina it's like it's just a different feel like pulled pork one it's hard to mess up and then two a lot of about it's about the fixings right it's about the sides it's about you know the sauce you know whatever whereas i like the texas approach like good brisket doesn't need sauce because it's good brisket i don't personally like what is. Like good brisket doesn't need sauce because it's good brisket. I don't personally like what is known as good brisket. It makes me feel sick. It's too

fatty. But like, whereas in South Carolina and North Carolina, it's a lot of like sauce driven. But no, I don't always order the same thing. I mean, I'm always going to try to sample the pork, but, you know, I might do a hat a liver hash you know i might do something different but no i don't have a go-to to rank it whereas i would say i have with pizza right like with pizza okay like a thin crust pepperoni or cheese and as i travel new jersey boston connecticut wherever i'm like i want a thin crust cheese or pepperoni one topping keep it simple um yeah of like in the south i want to know like what are you known for like yeah uh and that's my that's where i get in a tough spot with texas because i'm just like brisket like everyone's like brisket and it's

like yeah this like isn't very good uh i don't mean good brisket. I know I have a hot take on not liking all brisket, but I just mean places will be like, cool, you have horns. I have horns in my podcast studio. That doesn't mean your brisket's any good, right? Like, you know, so yeah, I don't know. Okay. I do feel like that's a hot take,

grinning on like a brisket. Maybe. It's okay. It's okay, yeah. I do agree with you. Like, a brisket. Maybe. It's okay. It's okay. I do agree with you. Bad brisket is terrible. It's inedible. It's so bad. Yeah, it's jerky.

Yeah, it's really bad. But if there's enough cowboy boots on the wall, the place will stay open. Yeah, baby. It's not true about those boots. Jeff, you got a barbecue take.

Uh, no, I mean, I'm just, it's okay. I don't know. Maybe it's just from growing up in Georgia where like, and it's like similar,

that's all like pulled pork base or like, yeah, pork base, like pulled pork was always my go-to. Uh, and so I still find myself like gravitating towards that even like when i was eating barbecue in texas but like i've had good brisket and i'm like oh okay i get like okay i get it this does not need sauce like this is this is

good but i feel like more times than not it's not on that level so my god i'm just gonna stay in my my safe zone and in order to the pulled pork and throw some coleslaw on top of there with some sauce and eat that yeah yeah i feel like the variations are way better too like if i see a brisket sandwich i'm never ordering that but if i see a pulled pork sandwich i'm like yeah i want some bread right now. I'm in. You know? But that could be a grantism. But yeah, I mean, I think every good meal starts with the death of a pig. I'll stand by that.

I think cows are beautiful animals. I eat them, but I'm not a brisket. Hate to say it. The only difference is, if it's a good brisket, you don't have to church it up like you do pork. Yeah, it's true. I kind of like church, Trey. That's true.

Big church guy. Big church guy. Big church guy. Dang. Anything else on the slide, Dak? We've got, again, Trey wanted to talk some the best harmonizing bands

slash groups. You got a hot take on deck for this. I do have a hot take. I was going to get Jordy's take on this. Yeah, I was getting PJ's. Someone that can actually harmonize. One came to mind immediately

for me. I'm curious what you're going to say. I'll let you go first. For some reason, the first thing one came to mind immediately for me i'm curious what you're gonna say i'll let you go first for some reason the first thing that came to mind was eagles yeah they're pretty good they like they they are okay yeah yeah they've been on for a minute yeah yeah i've heard of them um what do you think so my hot take on the best harmonizing band? Yeah. Hanson. Ooh. Have you ever listened to them when they're not seven years old?

Yes. Like recently, like they'll just do that acoustically. Dude, they're super talented. Hanson's like brisket. It's either, it's a lot of times it's bad bad but sometimes they knock it out of the park you know i feel like most of like their new story always says that yeah that's what he's always said that's what i've always said no they're very cool they're very good clean harmonies yeah i really like them them and the bgs i think bg's probably one of the best oh shoot never mind i changed my answer bgs oh i mean i got your fleet foxes you know

oh yeah i was following i was following i was following i was following yeah that's what i've been listening to on on repeat man that boss the boston hoppa yeah it's a good album that's good i was feeling pretty dumb uh jeff when trey was here because i was like in front of his wife and my wife and two girls was like hey what's that band that we had on vinyl where they sing that the lips taste like bacon and he's like what i'm like just not here to translate i'm like i'm like i'm like no it's like she eats the lips and it tastes like bacon jeff do you know what he's talking about hold on i gotta okay i'm gonna give you i'm gonna give you another hand same when i gave no not do your take good man say same hand i gave tranny

still again and i said it's something buffalo oh oh oh gosh i know exactly which, it's something Buffalo. Oh, oh, oh gosh. I know exactly which one. It's like. Avi Buffalo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know exactly what song you're talking about. I went back and listened to it and that's literally exactly what they say.

And Trey gave me the vinyl when Trey was like in a giveaway mode. He's like, here, you can have this one. But yeah, I really liked that song. Avi Buffalo. I feel like I had two of those yellow i was giving away because i had two of them yeah hey just give it away that's what george straight always said just give it away oh man we don't talk about that vinyl giveaway i feel like i left with some of jeff's vinyls

all right i feel like it's close closest we ever got to an argument. Jeff ruined my life when he introduced me to the fact that vinyls were still being made in the 2000s. You used vinyl on Amazon, right? I would have a lot more money. I thought you just went and bought music from the 70s on vinyl at a yard sale. It cost $3. She's like, yeah, the new white stripes you can I was like oh there went $50 he's like also the old white stripes you can buy an eBay oh there were $200 appreciate we looked it up true yeah it's like a shranko plate maintains the price value value

that's the word yeah bw tax color value um one more one more thing on this i feel remiss that i should love it to leave out on the harmonizing but i don't know if this is y'all's cup of tea but if you're looking at modern bands somewhat modern that would um that are just you can't argue with how good they are at harmonizing you get like some of these acapella bands like pentatonix just crushing it have you guys heard of them yeah my uh the name so my wife's cousin people yeah my wife's cousins in a band called home free okay and that they did a song with the guy from the pentatonix yeah i bet he was good they're they're super good man they're super good and then here's a there's a hot take you guys can roast me for but i stand by this um in sync did a

cover of oh holy night on their christmas album to day, I think it's one of the best arrangements, like vocal arrangements of that song I've ever heard. Like they crushed it. I was like, this is so random that this is on this album. That's the one where it's like, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas. That album, yeah. You have that song on there,

but then you have this freaking insane arrangement of Oh Holy Night that's got key changes and all this stuff. It's incredible. They knocked it out of the park. Those guys can sing. Oh, yeah. They nailed it. There are no 98 degrees, but they can sing.

I was going to say 98 degrees. You took my joke right out of the door. Sorry, dude. Culturally irrelevant, man. Get in post. Get in post. Go insane. You said key chains?

Key change. Oh, I thought you were talking. I in Boston would call those khakis. What? Khakis. Khakis. Give me my khakis. Thanks, Jeff.

Khakis? All right. Well, anything else we need to hit this episode before we bring it down for a landing? Where are you going here? Oh, yeah. I'm going to fly to. Yeah. Upstate New York.

One of the two states that I know of where they say upstate. He only goes to upstate. One, South Carolina. The other one's New York. Yeah. Canadian border. South of Montreal. Go to protect the border. Thank you for your service. Go to war.

Hey, man, they're flooding over the border these days. That's the bad way. That's what the Marines are for. Yeah, I'm a big northern border guy. How dare you, Montreal? He supports a northern wall, actually, I heard. Yeah, I don't want any cast iron going into Canada. I'm actually fighting that.

Yeah. No, it's too cold up there for that. With your duties and all your different provinces. Yeah, go to Fort Drum. They have good syrup, though. So I have a really, yeah, I disagree by a lot. Yes. Okay. Well, no, no, no.

This is great. I really like maple syrup from Maine and Vermont. Sticky topic. And I think everything else is terrible. Yeah, I'm not a Canadian syrup fan, not, no, no. This is great. I really like maple syrup from Maine and Vermont. Sticky topic. And I think everything else is terrible. Yeah, not a Canadian syrup fan, not a fan of businesses in the United States serving Canadian syrup. Jeff knows this.

I used to drive around with a bottle of syrup in my glove box. Fair enough. I don't think pancakes, which I don't even like, or waffles should be eaten with anything besides maple syrup. No. And I think it should be from Vermont or besides maple syrup no and i think it should be from vermont or maine my i've seen you drink it straight out of the bottle drink it before a heavy deadlift works every time i'm a i'm a grade uh b guy i like the thicker stuff grade a fancy's fine

too um but yeah i i bought actually i bought some vermont maple syrup from like a it was like through a family friend they had their own local thing there, bought it straight from them. And it was, I'm not a syrup connoisseur, so I don't know what I'm talking about, but there's thinner and there's thick. It was a thinner one. So you might not like it, but like the flavor of that, it was deep. I got upset when we started talking about syrup, man. I didn't mean to trigger him. Don't you dare say that.

It was more like I'm just tossing Canada, but I don't know what other food they're known for. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got to give you something. Is that something? Yeah, it's like French fries that are ruined or something. Gravy. Cheese curds.

Sorry. What are you eating now? We're eating French fries. That's pretty good. Hot takes on Canada Canada they need to open the borders up yeah open all the borders open borders big open board what is it open borders geez yeah for drums shooting some artillery for two that's what we're talking about yeah cool op yeah we're supporting some seal team for seal team six, you know,

much dev grew guys, bunch of Anglico bros coming in. The real heroes. What's funny is the higher speed, the op, the more boring it is on the artillery side because you can't miss anything. So a fun artillery op is like you're constant moving, you're constantly shooting, but when you're like

hey, SEAL Team 6 is coming through. We are going to shoot sometime between 9 and 1. It's like, make sure everything's ready and don't move. And it's like, well, the training just got pushed back an hour and a half. Yeah, I know, but when they come on, you got to be ready.

My glass is always two-thirds of the cup full.

I think we beat kentucky and kentucky like it i like it i'll do let me see hot take i think the biggest game i'm because aynum plays mcneese so they hopefully should win that i would go with uh um i'm actually looking forward to the Texas-Michigan game. Yeah, me too. Yeah. I think that's going to be a good one. Michigan wins. You think so?

I think so. I hope so. By 10. I hope so, too. Okay. You're calling it out. Yeah. Now Texas' SEC teams are like, do I?

I know. You don't. Can they just go away? Can they go in the Pac-12 with Oregon State and Washington State who are somehow still in the Pac-12, but the Pac-12 doesn't exist? This might be because I'm still a new

member of the SEC. I don't get why you have to just cheer for an SEC team. It's because you're not really the SEC. I guess so. Yeah, you do. I don't subscribe to that. I'm like, I never go

for LSU. So the problem is Texas doesn't understand secession well. South Carolina and Georgia understand secession well. And it's like, yeah, North Carolina, Virginia kind of late to the party, but like, this is who we are.

And Texas is like, eh, we're just stealing Mexico. So yeah, I think it has to do with that. Missouri never seceded. All right. Yeah. Wait, wait. So who's game two, Jeff? For Auburn, they're playing Cal.

So definitely an upgrade in terms of opponents, but they're at home. Sounds like Cal's running back is probable right now for the game, so we'll see what happens. Is it weird that they're not an ACC opponent? I think it is.

What is Cal the ACC? I don't want to leave PGA out. Yeah, they're in the ACC. Are you thinking Butler's still undefeated after week two? Oh, yeah. It's going to be tough, I think. Week three, I don't know, but so far, so good. Citadel loses to Savannah State 24-21.

I say they win. Flip it around. I say they win, too. Okay, but there's a lot of hope because this week wasn't an accident. I say they win. Flipping around. I say they win too. Okay, but there's a lot of hope because this week wasn't an accident. We lose the last second and the season turns around. But I hope you guys are right.
