Well, Zach, I actually just finished crushing some chicken harm.

I am freaking ready to rock and roll.

You are Locked on Auburn, your daily podcast on the Auburn Tigers.

Part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day.

Yes, welcome on into Locked on Auburn, your special weekly Auburn basketball edition.

I'm your host, Zach Blackerbie.

Thank you for making Locked on Auburn, your first listen every single day.

And today, as with this goes up, every Monday at 6 o'clock central time, perhaps this is your

second, third, or fourth listen.

Whatever.

It's great to have you, whether you're on YouTube or the podcast feed.
