Welcome into episode number 196 of Greatest Pod in the South.

I'm Neil McCready, J.G. Tate with me as well, always.

196 episodes, the March to 200.

We might get to 200 by the end of the year just like the

little train that could it just depends on schedules and stuff that happens and holidays and

stuff but we're glad to be with you here today glad that you make us a part of your week we

really appreciate it uh jay how are you i am great i'm live here in mont, Alabama, and I'm joined today, although he's not on the mic, but my dad, Dr. Tate, who came down from Maine to hang out with me and my mom, who's been not feeling great here the last couple weeks. So, yeah, we're fired up to have him, of course met neal earlier yeah got a chance to meet dr tate

can we get i know a lot of people want to know um especially the people at rebel grove dot com

who maybe you've probably updated the people at your site but uh how's your mom doing uh she's doing

better she's out of the hospital now well she's out of the traditional hospital now she's at a

rehabilitation center it's kind of a hospital too. And just kind of working on getting her stronger

and getting her spirit a little stronger, I guess would be the word. She's got to,

she's got to fight through some cobwebs, metaphorical cobwebs. And it takes some tenacity to get that done and so we're just kind of

working with her day by day good I'm glad she's doing her in a better spot yeah she's definitely

doing better so I know I've been asking for a lot of prayers particularly from the folks at

auburnsports dot com but I know I have a lot of friends at rebel grove who have been concerned as well

so thank all y'all for that for sure. I've had multiple people ask me how your mom came. So that's good. I've had to take a little bit of a sabbatical from Rebel Grove because, you know, it's a big community. And, you know, I've got friends over there. You think about Avery. You think about Leif, think about Georgia Rebel. You think about Sammy. Yeah. There's several others. And then you've got some people over there that maybe aren't big fans of mine, Neil, who think that I'm just a bleach-haired turd, Auburn Homer, who thinks that Cam Newton never got paid and never saw anything wrong with Cam Newton.

So this time of year when things get a little testy, right, with the coaching search and whatnot,

maybe there's some people that say some mean things about me at Rebel Grove.

If it makes you feel any better, in addition to the people at Auburnsports.com who say things about me,

a lot of people at rebelgrove.com

say it about me too so it's all okay i got uh i got i got i got let's see kind of kind of
