| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Audible. |
| 0:10.6 | I'm Stuart Mandel, joined as always by Bruce Feldman, but Bruce. |
| 0:14.7 | This is easily the closest together we've ever been while recording one of these podcasts. |
| 0:20.2 | Yes, Stu. |
| 0:20.8 | I didn't know when you said, let's go do this in your hotel room. You're going to put me on the love seat. It's a little weird, but we're doing this for you. That was one of those comments that without context. I know. It probably made Rob Stone drive off the beach cruiser. So, you know what? Look, we're doing this for you the listener we had to we had |
| 0:38.8 | to scramble because both of us are flying out of out of Alabama tomorrow so we wouldn't |
| 0:44.7 | have time to do this when Nick Saban and a few others and Brett Bilemer are going to have |
| 0:48.1 | spoken so we work it in now so this is our podcast from SEC Media Days it's the end of |
| 0:54.0 | day two here in Hoover Alabama and. And like you said, now by the time we get this out and people listen to it, Sabin and Bilemo have made all kinds of headlines.

| 1:36.4 | get to know them in the context of this setting where there's so much media around and |
| 1:42.3 | everybody is being kind of shepherded from one |
| 1:45.6 | one venue to the next. |
| 1:47.9 | I also think it's really beneficial to kind of connect, reconnect with a lot of sports |
| 1:53.4 | information directors because we rely on them a lot. |
| 1:56.6 | We call, you know, we usually call them or email them a bunch of times over the course |
| 1:59.7 | of the year. |
| 2:00.1 | And quite honestly, you know, we travel a little bit in the spring and in the, in the, you know, training camp time. But I, you know, I don't think we travel quite as much probably. And you can't get to everywhere. And this is one stop shopping, I think.
