This is Dog Nation Daily, the daily podcast for Georgia Bulldogs fame.

Here's your host, Brandon Adam.

A lot of thank yous to give out as we get rolling here today.

First of all, thank you to everyone who tuned in last night for the Chick-fil-A Dog Bowl with former Georgia coach Mark Rick, an entire collection of current and former Georgia players, Kirby Smart himself.

Everybody on hand to help raise money for Parkinson disease research, Crohn's disease research,

for all of you who watch that at Dog Nation.com. Thank you so much for doing that to the entire

team here at Dog Nation that helped us put this on. Obviously, I'm always so appreciative of them.

You know, you see my loud mouth and fat face on camera all the time, but what you don't realize

is whether it be, you know, folks back here in Atlanta studio like Michael Carvel or an entire just team of people on site there at the bowling alley there in Athens, it takes a lot to do something like that, especially when it's a little bit unorthodox, the kind of thing that we had not really done before, that almost no one's done before that kind of live stream for that long of a period of time. I'm just so appreciative

of all the people who help make that go the way that it did. And I personally, personally,

personally, once again, want to thank Mark Rick and his family for allowing Dog Nation to be a part of this.

You know, I am so proud of that because obviously I just, you know, believe in what the Rick family

has stood for. And seeing them up

close and personal, you're just reminded of they are the real deal. Mark Richt is the real deal,

that the persona that he's projected in our lives for these decades is the way that he is in these

moments too. And obviously he's in a fight right now with Parkinson's disease. And we know how

challenging that can be. And yet you continue to see Rick to be Ricked, even through all of this.

So I was so moved by that. I am so grateful for those of you who've, you know, joined the show and

gave last night. We're going to encourage you to continue to do that here today. The website to go to is ricksdogbowl.com. It's r-I-C-H-T-S-R-T-S-R-T-S-DogBol. Of course, dog-spelled DAWG. And as a reminder about why this is such an important thing, before we're done on our show today, coming up here in just a few minutes, in fact fact had a chance last night to spend a little bit of time with georgia coach kirby smart i believe that's our first one-on-one interview with kirby of course it's about the event itself and it's about you know what the rick family has meant to him but it's still a great chance to see a great side of kirby smart that we don't often get to see because he's very busy being the football coach of Georgia 99% of the time. But in this particular case, got to kind of pull back from that a little bit and just be kind of one of the folks there at the bowling alley. And that was kind of a cool thing to see. So we'll show you some of that on our show here coming up in a moment. Of course, prior to all that, we got some business to take care of. And one of the guys that we talked to last night was David Pollock.
