Josh Pate.

SEC Media Days.

What's up, man?

Mike, would you like some hand sanitizer? I don't know what you've done in the last five minutes. Yeah, there we go. All right. Literally came running from the bathroom. Do you want to show the prop that you brought out here? There you go, people. That's the real thing, by the way. You thought you were going to get white trash, and you got white trash. It's right there.

Hey, when they say Pate's at the table, you come running, right?

You know, because you are, I think you probably are the only one to hit every table in this radio road. Thereabouts. Yeah. I mean, you've been very active, and so you couldn't avoid this. Thanks for coming to the last one here. Absolutely. Appreciate having you on the face of college football, Josh Pate. Stuff smells so good. I mean, you're talking to a guy who rarely washes his hands, so it smells great. Do you do all media days? Is there conferences that you do go to, don't go to, or is it just the best one here? I'm not hitting the Patriot League this year, if you're asking. No, I do SEC. We'll do Big Ten next week. Those are the main two I hit.

Although... the best one here. I'm not hitting the Patriot League this year, if you're asking. No, I do

SEC. We'll do Big Ten next week. Those are the main two I hit. Although, I will say,

I love what the Big 12 does in boom, boom, 48 hours. Everybody comes in. It's done. Instead of a

whole week. And now the tradeoff is you get to meet a whole lot more people

when you're there for four days. But the Big 12, we didn't do that one this year. We're just doing SEC in Big Ten. Yeah. They thought about condensing it to one day after Texas and Oklahoma left. I heard. I heard that. Well, I mean, leasing that place. You lease in that place. I mean to heat and air and lighting and it costs money, man.

I got to ask the question everybody's asking. You're leasing that place. You lease in that place. I mean, to heat and air and lighting, and it costs money, man.

I got to ask the question everybody's asking. Josh paid too big. You got a lot of haters out there.

Yeah. Yeah. What's up with that? Well, they're probably right. I mean, have we broken down hate by hate? A lot of them are right. We started doing that thing last year in the fall

where you do, you know, like an analytical deep dive into, we call it hate state, by the way.

And what hurt me the most, and you guys know I'm a no ego guy, of course, but what hurt me

the most was some of them were right. And so I had to go back and do some self-scouting.

You almost want to step away a little bit, and you almost want to say, who am I?

What gives me the right?

How dare me?

So, yeah, they're out there, and maybe they should be.

Because I was unaware. Did you participate with the Netflix SEC documentary at all? I did. I don't know how much I'm in it, but yeah, we did some stuff with them. Because, you know, we watched the first episode. I don't know if you've seen it. They unveiled it for us the other night. And some of the LSU players are driving around, listen to you, discuss, you know, losing the Southern
