Coming up on today's episode of the audible, we talk some LSU, some Oklahoma, best football, basketball coaching

combos, and much, much more. Oh yeah. Welcome to the audible presented by Trader Joe's. I'm Stuart Mandel joined as always by Bruce Feldman.

Last week he was home and I was on the road.

This week we have changed places.

Yes, sorry it's taking me so long to get back you, Stu, but I'm in Baton Rouge.

It's been a busy couple of days.

I leave here tomorrow to go to Lincoln, Nebraska.

We already have a writer, Stu, so maybe I shouldn't have gone,

but hopefully I'm gonna catch up

with our new Nebraska writer, Mitch Sherman,

and I have some story to work on.

And, but I feel like I've been as you know when you go on the road

You basically don't have much time to go on Twitter or on search the internet so you kind of feel a little bit like you're cut off from the other side of the world

But it's It's you just feel more alive than when you're sitting at it at in front of a computer for eight hours and can't get off Twitter because we're the end of the day

If anything's like that big big of news it's you're gonna get alerted to it in some way and then you find out that all you're really missing by not being glued to Twitter is all the other kind of waste of time stuff.

Yes, it's a waste of energy.

So it's good to be back on with you and good to be back connected to our audience.

What are we talking about today, Stu?

Well, last week I gave some observations and anecdotes from where I visited, so tell us about LSU.

Before we do though, one thing is you went to Oklahoma and I think that part of the trip didn't happen.

I don't think you had gotten there yet when we taped the podcast so you want to share some details from your visit to Norman?

Yeah, that was my last stop.
