This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Not a show for the fan of heart tonight.

It's usually happy show, Jesse, smiles all over the place. We can smile. You can be a happy person. I'm a happy person. I'm happy with my life. I'm happy with the way things are going in my life, to quote Bill Paxton from Twister. But then it went downhill. And tonight's show, at least the vibe of it, may go downhill a little bit for the greater good.

We're jam-packed. We're high atop a glowing downtown Nashville, Tennessee. A little bit cool on this Thursday, May 7th, the Year of Our Lord, 2006.

The college football playoff expansion stuff, I've kind of had enough of it. Sometimes we're sarcastic about this stuff on the show tonight.

It won't be a sarcastic show tonight. Won't be a very, very upbeat show, at least the first 30 minutes of it, because it's really time to tell the truth. You want the true teller series? Let's tell the truth about the college football playoff tonight. We do have bold predictions on the show. I've got, I mean, we're kind of burying the lead, if you want me to be honest. I've got a lot to tell you about our trip to Clemson. We got the white whale, Jesse. We didn't harpoon him. We just pulled up alongside Davo. That's all we had to do. It was a big week for the show. There's a smile. It was a big week for us. All right, smile's gone. Let's lock in. They're watching us in Knoxville, Tennessee. They're watching us in Dublin, Ohio. Abbotsford,

British Columbia, first time check in there. Greenville, South Carolina. Thank you guys so much.

Make sure you are, subscribe to the channel. If you have not already done so, if you think you have done so, check and make sure we sat down with Kirby this week.

And I will play some sound momentarily from one Kirby Smart.

We sat down with Dabo this week.

We got two more big visits coming up.

Next week, you know what?

We'll let next week live in next week. We've got too

much to get to tonight. All right. Man, the college football playoff expansion stuff I've had about

enough of. I felt a lot of anger over the past few days. There's really no easing into this. A lot of times

when there's a big topic of conversation out there in the college football world,

you know, if you fancy yourself one of the voices of the space,

sometimes you intellectually want to kind of make it look like you're above the fray.

I'm not above this fray.

So maybe I'm not one of the voices of the sport,

but I'm telling you I will dive into this tonight.
