Welcome to the Audible.

I'm Stuart Mandel, joined by Bruce Feldman.

Week one of college football is in the books.

It was As Bill, the greatest opening weekend in the history of college football.

It also felt like the longest weekend in the history of college football.

That Tennessee Appalachian State game feels like it was a whole other season ago.

And maybe that's because, at least on my end, and I know you too, we've been awfully busy this week.

Yeah, it was pretty chaotic.

I was in West Virginia, which coming from L.A. is a bear to get to when I got home, and we made our first foray into Facebook Live shows, bringing the Audible there with our new site.

Yeah, I hope some of you got to check it out.

We did three Audible on Facebook Live shows, and it is even more so. It is branded that way, and it felt much more like the Audible than I even anticipated. Except the part where I looked like I was doing it in a cabana. Yeah, well, we got some glitches to work out. Yeah, I wasn't. I was in our hotel or my hotel. The room was a little funky. The lighting in there isn't great. And after being up for like 18 hours straight, I wasn't, I was a little tired. People kept asking if you were in a yurt. I didn't even know what that is. It's like a glamorous tent.

Who are these people you know that would know that? People on Twitter.

Okay.

So, you know, this is, I got home on Sunday and, you know, after I kind of was getting

just back acclimated, I'm playing, trying to play catch with my two-year-old son.

And you know you've been spending a long time around football coaches when you're playing with your little kid and you go, good catch, but you really caught it with your body, but it's okay at this level. And my sister-in-law was sitting there. She goes, what do you mean at this level? He's two. And I was i was like sorry i don't know where that came from

that you know i kind of walked that back um so i got i got a bushel of brando stories most of which

i cannot tell here but one i'll get him later yeah one i should do one quick one though

so after our our shows on saturday night i basically didn't go to sleep because it was 1.30 my time when I kind of shut down. I had to leave West Virginia at about 3.30 to drive to Pittsburgh. Brando's on my flight to Atlanta. Tim and I are sitting there. It's kind of a ghost town in the Pittsburgh airport at our gate. And I'm just kind of like looking down.

All right.

I hear somebody go, excuse me, Tim Brando, I hate to do this early,

but I have been a long time fan of yours for years and years.
