Oh yeah. Welcome to the audible. I'm Stuart Mandel joined as always by Bruce Feldman live from Chicago and Bruce, we have another colleague on the line.

Is it for Tuna? Who have you got for him, do you have you got for him?

Portuna has become the most elusive possible guest in the history of this podcast, but no, our new

colleague as of Monday, my former colleague now current colleague once again

live from SEC Media Days, ladies and gentlemen Andy Staples.

I am just blown away by the reception

here there's literally tens of people here all very poorly dressed

waiting to ask questions about Vanderbilt tomorrow?

Well, first of all, you bring up an interesting thing about media days.

I have seen so many pictures in the last three days of players or coaches sitting there

in their nicest possible suits.

So they look amazing.

Yeah, the players in particular go out of their way to wear like the best suit they've ever

won in their life.

J. Crom looked like he stepped right out of the pages of the Bass Pro Shops catalog.

And then they're surrounded by sports writers in the, you know, ratiest summer

wear that they could find in their closet.

I can't really say much as a man standing here in a pink shirt and sparies.

Anyway, congratulations and welcome for anybody listening who missed the news.

Andy who I worked with as Sports Illustrated from 2008 to 2014 and

who Bruce would have overlapped with for like what seven months nine months

something like that four days four days it was closer to like 11 months.
