Well, Zach, I actually just finished crushing some chicken harm.

I am freaking ready to rock and roll.

You are Locked on Auburn, your daily podcast on the Auburn Tigers.

Part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day.

Yes, we'll go on into Locked on Auburn, your daily Auburn Tigers podcast.

I'm Zach Blackerby, and folks, it's our favorite day of the week other than Ferg Friday.

It is a Charlie Tuesday with Charlie 5 of the Auburn bunker. How are you, my friend?
