Welcome back to the Helium Boys podcast, a serious, non-serious U.S.C. podcast.

I am your host for this week, Chris Trevino, joined by Shotguns Bradley. The Man, the Myth,

the Legend. I said his last name a little wrong, but Shotgun, I'm a little off today.

It's been a long day. It's Labor Day still here on the West Coast. You are far beyond that.

It is Tuesday for you. It's a late night edition of the Helium Boys. I got to get my energy up shotgun. But as you said, before we started recording, you're kind of on one right now. You're energized. I mean, I have to be energized because I feel like I'm way behind. You know, it's the opening weekend. And also because it's a holiday weekend weekend it just kind of throws everything off for me

you know there's just you know it's not a normal monday there's people want to do things even if

i don't necessarily want to do things i just want to i don't jump in to the film i want to look at what

happened i still haven't even got the chance to fully go through the entire game i haven't

got to my charting completely yet. So a lot of things that

I want to do, but a ton of stuff to talk about from this game. So, and a ton of stuff to break

down. And because there's so many different players used and so many different things, I'm trying

looking, okay, so many new faces that I want to look at, you know, you go through every play four, five, six times to see, okay, how did this guy do? How'd this guy do? Because there's so many new faces, even if it is a list or opponent that I feel like I'm behind because there's a lot of guys that I want to check out and see how they did on each play, each snap. And I don't know how many of those I'll get to do before the season or before this week

kind of concludes and also because I'll be traveling this week that kind of shortens and compresses

everything a little bit more too I was going to say do you also feel like you didn't get into the game

because you weren't actually at the game this weekend so you were you were kind of injured a little bit

you were holding the clipboard a little obviously shotgun was doing a lot of work behind the scenes but you weren't actually on the game this weekend. So you were you were kind of injured a little bit. You were holding the clipboard a little. Obviously, Shotgun was doing a lot of work behind the scenes, but you weren't actually on the field with me, shotgun. Didn't have your photos, didn't have your presence at the Coliseum. So did you kind of feel like, ah, I'm behind a little week? I didn't get any game reps. I'll be honest. I felt a little behind from the very beginning of it because we were down. We were down, you know, a body. You know, Ryan Abraham was not able to make it to the Coliseum. So, you know, everyone has to pick up slack a little bit. So Amad did a great job, you know, going to fill it in, being in person. But so then I took over the live updates for Amad who normally does that you know Connor took over the three keys of videos and stuff so live updates

just you know between trying to tweet my own stuff and you know every every time and

then trying to you do a little bit of moderation on the board which Gerard does the

majority of that during the game but then also you, fulfilling all the back-in stuff to try to help you guys out by getting stuff set up, getting the photos in the admin, you know, before the game ends, all those type of things, editing all the photos from Casper, who did a fantastic job. If you guys, I just finally put up the photo gallery, I wrote a story about King Miller being the first walk-on to score a touchdown

in a long time. I'll finally put up the photo gallery. I wrote a story about King Miller being the first

walk on to score a touchdown in a long time. I'll talk about that in a minute. But, you know,

the photos were super crisp. You know, I thought he did a fantastic job. There's a ton of action.
