Welcome into episode number 184 of the Greatest Pot in the South.

I'm Neil McCready.

J.G. Tate with me.

He's back in the United States after his big vacation.

We'll hear all about his trip.

We're going to talk about Ole Miss wins a college baseball world series,

first national championship for Ole Miss in a major sport since 1963.

Three or four.

I don't know.

Either the Kennedy or the Johnson administration, one or the other.

That was the last time that Ole Miss won a national title.

They swept Oklahoma in the finals to get that done yesterday.

We'll talk a little bit about that.

We're going to talk about the Cleveland Browns in an interesting spot,

which means Baker Mayfield's in an interesting spot.

We'll talk about the NBA draft a little because last Thursday for a brief moment,

Jay and I thought that our boy Jabari might be the first pick, the second pick,

because the Orlando Magic took Palo Boncaro, sort of surprisingly. And we thought there's Jabari. Here he is. And then as Jay said, it didn't happen. So we'll talk about those things. And God only knows what else comes up here on the show. Jay, how are you? I'm great. I'm back from the Punta Cantas. And I am not in police custody. not that I was, but I mean, just the fact that I never was, it's good. That's a good step. Yeah. And then I made it back in one piece. So that's good. Yeah, we made some new friends, as you would be surprised to learn, right? Not surprised. Made some new friends and we met up with some of the friends we met at last year in Punicana. So we added to our crew. We had five couples left, you know, stateside. Then we met two more down there. So that was a seven couple group. And then we met Val and Mike as well. And so we got to be a pretty big group. Everybody's still friends at the end of it?

Everybody's, everybody's okay? Oh, yeah, man. I mean, we all get along real good. And, you know, I'm a social chair. My friend Jay Dub's a social chair and his wife, Bridges, a social chair. So we do a lot of outreach. We just try to help the community and just make things better. What? Had some good times, though. We bought five bottles of bourbon in duty-free on the way down there, because the rumor was that all they had was Jack Daniels, which is terrible. If they only had Cat Head, that's all I would need. But unfortunately, they had Jack Daniels only. So we did one bottle per day, and then I would kind of do an eyeball it throughout the day. And if we were getting a little ahead of ourselves, maybe the bottle was a a little lower than it should have been then I would start drinking a little bit of that Tennessee swill just to kind of keep things going greasing the wheels without having to actually dip my toes into the good stuff you know what I mean right so that went okay you know I hadn't had Tennessee swill in a while but but, you know, you just kind of do what you got to do.

Let me run down the list here real quick, because I know people are really fired up about hearing about the big trip. But we had great weather for sure. Did have a chance to hook up with Pye Player and Daphne. They were there. Our friends that we met last year from the greater Cincinnati area had a lot of fun, drank Scooby-Doo shots with them. That was a good time. And their friends, Jordan and Carly, and then mentioned Val and Mike earlier. I always go as the captain. I wear a captain's hat, and everybody goes, El Capitan, you know, the whole thing. But I wore the Milkman hat this year, which, I had Spanis is El Lachero. And that went well. That played well. some of my best antics of the whole trip i was in my milkman hat i think it's very disarming um i had this new little schick that i did

this year and you got to kind of follow along with me here so we would meet these people and once

i got to know them just a little bit i had a little line i would do and i would turn to the girl of the group the girl of the couple and I would say I'm going to tell you something I don't really want to say this in front of him but we'll just make it up and they'll say his name is Mike Mike got in the group chat last night and he had so many nice things to say about you said that you looked beautiful last night and that you were such an inspiring
