Welcome in the latest episode of that SEC podcast. I'm your host Michael Bratton.

I go by SEC Mike on Twitter and hey special show announcement here.

I'm gonna even take myself off the screen.

So we got a very special guest here. You know him. You love him.

Athlause sports senior editor Stephen Lassen.

Again, I'm taking myself off the screen. Look at this. Look at this upgraded camera,

updated background. You're looking crystal clear here Stephen. How's it going man?

Mike, it is going great. I appreciate all the help you've given me to get to the spot and also thanks to my dad and my

brother they came down here and hooked me up with all these wonderful shells for all

these helmets I got some SEC teams to fill in we're still we still working on it, but I think it's a big upgrade. You know, new season,

the SEC's bigger and better than ever, right? So we had to match it by getting the appropriate display, right?

Yeah, no, it looks fantastic.

I just want everybody to soak it all in.

I mean, look at all the helmets and even the attention to detail,

Stephen was telling me, I didn't catch it at first glance,

but he's got you

know like Clemson and Georgia he's got them going head to head because that's

obviously a week one Miami in Florida head to head so I cannot wait to see where

Stephen goes with this next and unfortunately for you guys it's not going to be just Stephen it's going to be be on the show too so I'm back here as usual but I just wanted everybody to get that in their image just just the hard work Stephen's putting in behind the

scenes to make this show even better so we really do appreciate it Stephen.

Hey Mike I appreciate all the help you've given me, and I'm just excited that we kind of got a background now

that matches are, you're a great background,
