All right and fight and to the very first episode of Behind the Follow. I am Cody Wersham. I was going to say

Digital Media Reporter for Ellis U.S. U.S. U.S. That's my old title. I can't keep up with the titles.

It changed way too often. Really excited about this little August project that we're doing here

with T. Bob A. Bear. A couple of things to note before we get started. One, I am at home.

My six-year-old and my four-year-old both went to the dentist today.

There's a very good chance that this show will be interrupted by crying children, literally bleeding from their mouth.

So looking forward to interruption.

And the other thing is that Teabob is also over at the Guarantee Studios. And we've got like a little three second delay between our connection. So I'm going to try to clean it up and post so nobody notices. But we're off to a rip-roar and start here on Behind the Follow. And I'm excited to do this. What we're going to do, Teabob's here. and we're going to break down every episode of the follow on LSU Gold.

It's our behind-the-scenes documentary following Brian Kelly and his staff in their first spring.

Teabobbob as the cinematic expert that he is, I thought would be the perfect co-host on this adventure. So this week, me and him are going to break down to episode one, which is free everywhere for everyone right now. All you have to do is go to LSU.org. You don't even have to sign up. You can get it for free. You can watch that one. We're going to break that one down as I'm getting text messages on my phone, the first of many interruptions, I'm sure. And then in the next, in the coming weeks, we're going to bring on some of the other folks who have helped make this series. Because to be very clear, I had very little to do with the success of this series. This is our video team that's excellent. So we're just going to break it down for you all as sort of an episode by episode guide and then hopefully bring in some of the people from behind the scenes who help make the episode give you some insight there. So that's my long intro, T. Bob. Thank you so much for doing this. Really excited to get your thoughts on the follow. Yeah, man. I'm super pumped to be here. Yeah, look, dude, this is Hollywood, right? The show must go on. I mean, I'm here in some, like, empty, haunted cubicle and guaranteed storage office.

But it was a weird thing, right?

Life and everything from here on now, we'll have, you know, studio, whatever.

It's going to be great.

But I like this, dude.

Humble beginnings.

Oddly appropriate as we kind of discuss the first episode of what is a documentary essentially breaking down the, you know, I called it a prescribed burning on the LSU radio show.

When you look at this football program and what Brian Kelly did,

really the first kind of wholesale change that has taken place really since Nick Saven, right?

In like the year 2000, and why do you burn down forests?

Because there's a lot of detritus, a lot of undergrowth.

It's for the health of the forest.

Well,

...
