From the Clark Ford Studio in Oxford, Mississippi, MBW Digital proudly presents the Oxford Exxon podcast.

I'd say thanks for tuning in, but why am I going to give you a round of applause for something that you're supposed to do, to be frank?

And now, here are your hosts, Chase Palm.

And broadcast school is really paid off.

And Neil McCrady.

I deserve to be on TV.

That's Ben Mitz, Barstool Sports. Kind enough to join us on Thursday evenings, talking some NFL. I have to go back at the end of the weekend, see how he did with his picks. Can't do any worse than I did with my NFL picks. I was two and three. It's not terrible. That's okay. NFL's hard, man. I mean, you're not going to make a living on NFL picks. What'd you do college last week? Six and O. With Tyler? No, with us. Oh, five and six. Okay. So you went six and O with Tyler and five and six with us? Yeah, 6 and 0 in the non-SCC games, and then 5 and 6 in the games that I'm, quote, who chose to pick. Paid to pick. Tells you a little something. Here's the deal, though. We would never pick every game if we were actually trying to put a record together. Hell no. There's lots of games you wouldn't just jump on. I mean, Ole Miss would be a no-go. Because, I mean, I've got Tech covering Saturday. Yeah, I know you do. And I've got Ole Miss covering. I don't... I think they're winning. I don't think... Yeah, well, I think, I think old Miss covers. I, I don't think tech's going to score more than 10, 14 points. If I regret it, it will be because I, I said on the podcast every in the week, I watched Jeff Collins and went, he is not confident in the slightest going into this game. He just wants whoever's next week at this point.

He was not feeling good about it.

No, if you listen to Kelly, you could tell Kelly had talked to people there,

and they're not pleased with scheduling.

Oh, really?

Yeah, I mean, going to play two SEC games in addition to your ACC slate? That's not. I mean, why? You can play Ole Miss in Georgia in addition to your ACC slate? Yeah, like see if Vanderbilt wants to have a smart kids bowl. Go play them. But like... Right. Well, call Northern Illinois. Apparently, they're taking people. Everybody. I mean, it just... I don't know. I get it. I did admire that you looked up the price of the game day bibs for the Georgia tag faithful. Well, I woke up at 3.40 in the morning. And got up. I have a rule. If I, actually I woke up at 3.30 and my rule is 20 minutes.

That's it?

That's it.

If I lay there for 20 minutes. After what time, though? I don't care. I'm up. You're not going to get up at 12.10. Yes. I'm not laying there for 20 minutes. I might go back to bed. But you are going to at least move. I'm going to get up.

And so I got up and I came in here and I said,

you know,

I got stuff to do.

And that's a little bit of a laborious process. Finding the photo, cutting the photo, loading the photo, it's a pan in the ass, building the, trying to make sure I give credit to the person who took the photo, even though nobody else cares.

I do.

And then you try to come up with something creative.

And so I did that morning with, you know what, I'm just going to sort of do this in chronological order and tell a story.
