Happy Monday. Welcome to another episode of the Chuck Toddcast. I have to tell you, I have a little extra

bounce in my step because we just had a weekend of meaningful football. Okay, I am a college football

fanatic. I love these first two weeks where college football gets center stage, week zero.

Literally, I'll watch anything.

I watch some FCS.

I will watch all of it.

Kansas State, Iowa State, of course, was the best game of the day.

But Stanford, Hawaii, right?

You got to go all day long.

It's just nice to have football back.

So that put me in a good mood after what was an excruciating time dropping off my youngest at college. I don't want to go through the specifics. It's not fair to him. But let's just say that this is it's as hard as everybody will tell you that it is.

And then some.

If you've, this was my second time.

You know, it's funny when you know you still have another child at home, there's,

there's sort of one set of emotions.

When suddenly it's empty, it's a whole new set of emotions. So, but I will, I will spare you

some of that, but let's just say that a good distraction from my glumness and me missing my

son is the start of college football season, that's for sure.

And which sort of brings me, here we are, we're in August.

I know some of you think college football shouldn't start in August.

It should start, you know, first of September.

But here we are.
