This is an IHeart podcast.

And just like that, we're back.

Late Kick Extra Thursday morning, July 1st, the year of our Lord, 2021, they said we couldn't make it to July, you and I.

And yet here we are. Who are they? By the way, you may ask, who are they? Who are the people who said that? I don't know. It's not important. I see people do this all the time. They said I couldn't do this. They said I couldn't do that. Well, no, they didn't actually.

Opening bids start at plus 250 and we'll see which way the action goes. We got a loaded mail bag this morning. I know a lot of you We're going to be on the road this weekend. I will be too. I'm headed back down to Georgia tonight, actually, after we do late kick live. So it's a busy day. We got NIL breaking. The NIL era is upon us. We got the transfer portal closing. So you hopefully like the Titanic in the boiler room, hopefully you got through it before the watertight doors shut or else you may be not eligible this fall. Probably one of the most striking metaphors I've used in months, the transfer portal and the Titanic. So we've got a loaded mailbag. I thank you so much for contributing. I got so much overflow from the other day that I really got to talk faster, as you can already see I've gotten into the habit of,

in the first minute to minute and a half of this morning's podcast. But I just got a lot to cram in. And I don't want to leave any on the table because once we come back after July 4th, who knows, half of it may be irrelevant. So if you want to submit questions for next week, Josh Pate706 at gmail.com. about to head over some milestones on Twitter and Instagram.

Make sure you're following there.

Don't say I didn't warn you. When you start getting left out on what's coming on those platforms, don't say I didn't warn you. At late kick, Josh. I'll still let you in if you're late, though. At late kick Josh. And that is how you submit questions many of you have. So I'm going to start with one that I had a screenshot on the I Josh. I just saw it a little while ago.

David leads us off with this.

I have often said that I, as a Georgia fan, will only ever pull for another SEC team to win off of the sole fact that they're an SEC team if it's the Outback Bowl.

So I can get a free blooming

onion and outback because of their win. Would you defend this statement? Why do you think

SEC fans think they have to root for other SEC teams? Interesting question here. I've heard
