Hey, fighting tigers,

All right, welcome back to another edition of Hey Fightin' Podcast.

That is not the voice of Matt Flynn, as you know.

Longtime listeners might recognize that this is the

voice of Cody Wersham, who did not disappear from the face of the earth. Look, Flynn is not here today.

He's not. Honestly, if he never comes back, I'm totally fine with that. I'm kidding. He's welcome back

anytime. I think he was just busy this week. However, Hester, I have some qualms. And look, we're going to talk about LSU Alabama. I'm sure no one's talking about it at this point. If you're listening to this podcast, it's probably the first conversation you've heard about LSU Alabama because it's really not a point of discussion this week. However, I have some qualms with you and Flynn and the direction of the podcast, okay. First of all, can we chill with the film? Okay? I get it. You guys understand football. You understand coverage concepts. You're smart. We get it. It's just too much film. It's too much football talk. I don't know what you think this show is about. It's really heavy on the

football. Not enough soccer talk, not enough banter, just a lot of business. And I think it's affecting

the ratings. Harrison can, Harrison's miced up today as well. Harrison Valentine, I mean, he can

speak to the ratings hit that we've had. But you guys, when I handed you the keys, I entrusted this

show to you. And I got to be honest. It could be better. It could be better. Any better from you guys. Well, you handed us the keys. We warned you as soon as you did it, that it was going to go off the rails. It was going to be whatever we wanted it to be. And so that's your fault. Also, good to see you're a frontrunner. Haven't seen you in weeks. You've been nowhere to be found, seen anything,

and here comes Alabama Week, LSU in the top 10, and here comes Cody Worsham, aka frontrunner. Not a frontrunner. First of all, thanks to our friends at Marathon Petroleum, Marathon Petroleum, get the most out of your drive. Even when he ends you the keys and complains about it. My head is sort of blocking their logo.

That's another thing with Flynn.

Like Flynn's head is always blocking the logo, so I'm just going to... He's got a giant head, and that's me speaking, because I have a big noggin as well. I got one too, but he's got the biggest noggin of the mall. Thanks to Marathon Petroleum. Look, I'm not a frontrunner.

Okay, what I am is I am the quarterback coming off the bench.

I am the quarterback coming off

the bench. I am the Matt Flynn to Aaron Rogers in this case, okay? And I meant to pull up his

stats, but what's about to happen is I'm about to have a contract game here, okay, and I'm about to

get a big four-year deal from the Seattle Seahawks. That's the kind of performance you're going to get from me today, okay? Not a frontrunner. And I've already established the terms of this. So if this game goes the way that we wanted to, I'm taking all of the credit. And if this game does not go the way that we wanted to, you're blaming Flynn. I'm completely blaming Flynn for not showing up. And I'm positioned to do that. I'm in a position of strength here. Not a frontrunner, happy to fill in for Matt Flynn, who in all seriousness is doing a fantastic job. His football insight is tremendous. It will be sorely missed today. I will not provide an iota of football insight, but I can, you know, as I told you as you walked into the studio, I've been storing up a lot of sunshine. You have.

That I've had nowhere to pump.

That's right. inside. But I can, you know, as I told you as you walked into the studio, I've been storing up a lot

of sunshine. You have. That I've had nowhere to pump. That's right. And today it shall be pumped. It shall be pumped today. I bet you have because, I mean, we did this every week for how long? I mean, years. They're in football season. Yeah, I mean, it started in your office in the closet. It.
