All right, so a little special episode of that SEC podcast, Cousin Shane, needed the

day off, so I went to the go-to source for college football information.

I like to call the CFB encyclopedia Stephen Lassen, of course, senior editor of ATHLEAN

Sports. And we have got a fun idea for this show. How you doing, Stephen? Thank you so

much for joining me once again. Hey, Mike, it's great to be back on. Thanks for having

me. And it's it's always good to be talking some SEC college football during the off-season.

I guess we're still calling it the off-season these days. Is Cousin Shane having eligibility

concerns? Is he is it load management? Is he entering the transfer portal? I don't know.

Hey, I think good to join you. I think the best way to explain it, you you hit the

nail on the head there, load management. He needed a day off from I think he's got work

off. He's he's got his kids are away. So it's like he just needed a shame day. And we're

giving it to him. So he is very, very appreciative, Stephen, of you joining the show here.

Hey, it's it's always good to talk to you and be talking some SEC ball. Like I said,

I mean, man, I know it's the off-season, but at the same time, we've got transfer portal

movement. It's talking season, shameless plug. The Athlon sports magazine comes out

on May 23rd. So the talking season is kind of just starting to ramp up. So we're we're

always looking for good content and happy to fill in for Shane as always. And where do

fans go, Stephen, if they want to pre-order the Athlon sports college football preview

magazine? Absolutely. So it hits new stands on May 23rd. So I guess this would be like

your normal like grocery, your bookstores, you should be able to find it there. But if

you don't want to fight the store and deal with, you know, crazy, you know, lines and all

that, you're going to go to AthlonSports.com. And you click on magazines at the very top.
