Chase Thomas podcast. My nephew needs me to record. See, I hate it. I already hate it. I hate it.

All right. Hello. Welcome back to another episode of the Chase Thomas podcast from Still. The A for mention Chase Thomas coming to you live from Knoxville, Tennessee, Everything School, HQ.

Joining me down there from rocky top insider.com. It's Ryan Shumper. Ryan, good evening, sir. How are you? I'm doing well. How are you guys doing? Oh, just, uh, just like I, we haven't even talked here. And Ethan Stone of Saturday Down South.com is also here. It's just, it's been a brutal weekend.

Like, we all said that I had back-to-back games of my teams having just diabolical final

plays of the first half with the Falcons last night and the Tennessee volunteers on Saturday.

Then you have the Tony Vitale stuff that, let me just go ahead and say at the top for the three of us, we're not going to dive into on this show because a lot might change from now until the show is up and everything else. And we'll have an entire offseason potentially or next week's show. Talk about it one way or the other, whichever way it goes with Tony Vitllo. But the combination of Tony, the combination of

Tennessee losing the way they did, the combination of just the Falcons losing the way they did,

I just, I've had it. I've had it. I've had it. It's just been a all, I was telling my wife earlier

today. I'm like, this is an all-time bad sports weekend for me. I just can't, like, I can't stand it.

Like, I just, I'm waiting for something where, like, Trey to ask out for, with Atlanta. Like, at least the Hawks got the Dyson Daniels deal done today. So that's one positive thing for me. but it's just been

brutal

like just an awful

weekend of sports

and I'm just sad

I'm just sad

Ethan's down

I wish to say It's been brutal. Like, just an awful weekend of sports. And I'm just sad. I'm just sad. Ethan's down. Rich say is looking good in preseason. You have that, maybe. He's good. I like, I like Zach. It's not enough to outweigh, and I agree you have had a brutal sports weekend, but you're trying to find something positive appreciate that there you go I saw someone who had like kp above jalen Johnson and like best players

for the hawks this year and I was like what are we doing jillin Johnson might be the best player on the hawks right now

what do you mean I'm excited about the kp edition but jalen Johnson is the engine that carries this entire operation. Like, if Jalen Johnson's healthy and can be what he could be, it's a different kind of the hawks are all season long. But like, he goes down. Season's cooked. And I just, I can't have that. Like I need it so bad. Yeah. Like I need it bad.

Like it's just,

but maybe that's,

I don't want it as much because Tennessee basketball and, uh, on the men and women's side and then the Hawks, maybe it's just, maybe it's a basketball year. Maybe that's, that's what's happening. Tennessee football just, let's go ahead and wrap this up like the, the Chappelle show, the wrap-it-up box, just the wrap-it it up. Just like, let's wrap it up and move forward here.
