This is an IHeart podcast.

And we're back second time this week. Late Kick Extra podcast. I'm Josh Pate. Happy to have you with me. Five star reviews continue to pour in. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Please keep those five star reviews coming. This is the new format. As I mentioned, this is the second episode of Late Kick Extra this week.

That's the way it's going to be because of you and those five-star reviews from now through at least the end of the football season.

Keep in mind, if you are a subscriber here to the podcast, you also get the audio version, the podcast version of every episode of Late Kick Live, which we also do three nights a week now live on the 24-7 Sports YouTube channel, 8 Eastern, 7 Central, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday.

Those shows have been so, so jam-packed, and there is a lot of stuff you get there, you can't get here.

There's a lot of stuff you get here, you can't get there.

So I would suggest subscribing to the youtube channel 24-7 sports and the podcast here

because they're both free so you don't really have anything to lose but i just want to say this i had it

kind of disseminated to me and i wanted to push it on to you you are doing a lot of work and you

don't really realize you're doing the work.

When I say you're doing the work, I mean, you guys have noticed, just like I've noticed.

There has been a very noticeable shift in the overall way that the college football media industry,

if you will, covers this sport. And there's been a path down which many in our industry have chosen

to go and it turns you off. And I know because it turns me off too. It's been a long time since I

consumed college football content the way that I used to. To be honest with you, it's why I wanted to go

into this line of work because I thought I was able to do it.

But secondly, I just thought that people like me were being so underserved.

And when I say people like me, it's synonymous with people like you because that's really who I identify with.

I don't walk into a press box and look around and say, these are my people.

This sounds kind of cheesy, but I'm telling you it's the God's honest truth.

I would be much more at home walking out into Section 313, Row 32, because that's where my people are.

Those are the folks I identify with.
