| 0:00.0 | Oh, well, y'all, that was a whole lot of a very different experience from watching Florida State play in 2024. |
| 0:27.4 | Oh, wow. Well, here we are for the Hot Takes podcast after Florida State takes visiting Alabama out to the woodshed reverses the spread. |
| 0:43.4 | Wins 31 to 17 in the home opener and the home opener for the renovated Doke Campbell, |
| 0:51.7 | which by the way, looked and sounded amazing on television and caused some |
| 0:56.1 | serious problems for that Alabama offense at times. So, you know, Bravo. Kudos to all of you |
| 1:02.5 | who are at the game for really making a difference there. |
| 1:13.8 | Yeah, well, styles make fights, y'all. |
