This is an IHeart podcast.

And just like that, we're back, another edition of the Late Kick Extra podcast.

It's Tuesday morning, told you.

Going to get this to

producer Jordan early. It's actually Monday night as I record right now. Very late. I'm in the office. I'm all by myself. Probably going to be a pretty loose recording. Could go grab the guitar at any moment. In fact, I think I will to chime us from one question to the next. Remind me to tell you something about that in a second, as I'm telling you,

listening 12 to 24 hours later to remind me of something. But a reminder in real time how this

works. This is the Late Kick Extra podcast. A lot of you are new. We're gaining hundreds and

hundreds and hundreds of new listeners every episode. So the way this works is on Tuesday and

Thursday morning, for the time being at least, I do a Q&A wall-to-wall mailbag episode. Last night on Twitter, if you're listening on Tuesday, I put out the call to action. I said, give me those questions. And boy, did you guys follow through? So we've got a ton right now. But if you want to hit me with a question, Josh Pate706 at gmail.com, or you can follow and then submit a question on Twitter and Instagram at Lake Kick Josh. And when I say we're loaded, I mean we're loaded, but I told you remind me of something. I'm going to pretend you guys just did. You're driving around in Walla Walla, Washington. Yes, I know where that is. And you said, hey, here's your reminder.

Thank you. All our friends in Walla Walla and around the world. So the other week, remember when I asked you guys, should I buy a soundboard for the show? This is what makes our podcast in our show when we do at Lake Kick Live on YouTube very different. I tell you it's your show. Well, here's the proof. I was already convinced I was going to buy a soundboard. A soundboard for those unfamiliar is basically how you add little sound effects and transition elements into a podcast. And I was going to buy one because I've heard other podcasts use them. I mean, I didn't have any feel one way or the other. I just thought, oh, that'll be something cool to try out. But since it's your show, I asked you, what do you think?

I cannot stress enough to you how negative the feedback was. And a lot of you were passionate about it. It wasn't just, hey, I would like to vote no, please, and thank you. Some of you all but threatened to hurl yourself into oncoming traffic. If I go and buy a soundboard and start, I'm not going to use the language you guys did, but infiltrating this clean, pristine product right now with manufactured nonsense.

So my vow to you, I have heard you loud and clear, soundboard idea in the trash, we will

proceed as organically as possible. But mark my words, every time I'm in this studio. And that guitar is sitting over here in the corner, and I'm looking at it. I'm using this guitar. So this is as close as we're getting to a soundboard. You're just going to have to deal with it. I have to let the music escape me. It's deep in me. I've got to let it escape somehow. And since I don't perform here down on Broadway in Nashville ever, this is my only shot.

Here we go.

You ready? somehow. And since I don't perform here down on Broadway in Nashville ever, this is my only

shot. Here we go. You ready?

Nothing like performing before a live audience. Let me tell you. So the abominable Billy leads us

off this morning. Yes, the abominable Billy would like to know. I hope this is the right

place for the mailback question. It is, Billy. Have you noticed Texas first seven games? They got Louisiana. They upset Iowa State in week

one last year. They go to Arkansas, going to be a tough environment, Arkansas first full stadium

and forever. Then they got Rice. Then Texas Tech. They went to overtime with them last year.

Then they go to TCU. They lost to them last year.
