What's up?

Welcome to On the Bench. I'm not sure why I said that's not a great start, Zachary.

You really nailed that. I mean...

Sticking to start. I'm Brendan Sennon. I'm joined by Zach Blasstein. No Chris Ney today. He is on vacation.

He's he's camping somewhere, which like I was thinking of this earlier, Zach, the amount of money I would pay to see Chris Ney like doing a traditional camping.

I think he's like awesome at it. Because I have, you know, like just over the years like he's told me about like how his family goes camping, you know, a good amount of times. And I feel like he's, he's battle tested. Like, he's got to be, he's got to be a pro by now. Why do you, why do you, why would you want to see it? I just can't see him like in a revenant type of like survival. Like him lighting a fire, he's's gonna be really good at it or be really like

stumped by it there's not gonna be an in-between i think you i think he's perfectly fine

i think if he can get his hands on like a squirrel he'd be really good at like that

you know that's what camping is is they're going around chasing squirrels. I'm not about like real, real camping. I would pay money to see it other than they're like pooping in the woods part. Anyways, let's get into this episode of On the Bench. Sorry, Colin, a shout out to our sponsors. The Turner group, Colin, Amy Turner, awesome people. I'm not doing this read as well as Trey. Sorry, Trey, if you're listening to this. Sorry, Colin for interjecting with that as well. I'm going to make my own thing. Colin, Amy Turner, do a great job, the home buying, home selling process. They've now sold three homes through on the bench, which is pretty cool. We're averaging more than one a year. I'm happy with that. It's a big investment to go ahead and buy a house, sell a house. I get that. And so you trusting someone who we recommended to you and Zach can speak personally to attest to this. Well, his parents can, but you can speak on behalf of Jeff, right? And yeah, good people work hard. They're going to literally get you where you want to go. Sorry, Colin. And then Chattanooga whiskey,

crushing it in the craft distillery game. We had a pretty cool threat on the Nulls 24-7 board the other day, Zach. Someone picked up three bottles of Chattanoogisky. I can't remember the poster right off the top of my head. I'd have to pull it up. Oh, I thought you were interjecting with that okay no no No, no. He said that he got the bottle and bond and the port cast finish, which are two of my personal favorites of the chat whiskey selection. So I was, you know, I was interested to hear how he liked those. Yeah, he did. He liked the bottle and bond, I think, was the number one. And most people, I find often really gravitate the bottom of the bond it's just like it's a quintessential really good bourbon all good price points

so you can find them throughout the southeast thank you to both of our sponsors all right spring football

it's here it's started we get three practices then fs u goes on spring break i don't love that as much but there's plenty

of other things to for me to complain about other than than three days of practice but then with a

with a week break in between it but we got a little bit of access on friday zach that was day three

their first day in pads i don't know how much we can really take away from from a 20 minute window

where they're just doing individual drills. Energy seemed good. That's something that's been talked

about when we've talked to recruits. We've heard that from different sources. I do believe that.

Yeah, it's a engaged active team right now, but it better be it's spring football. So whatever.

Let's talk about some of the

things that we've heard from sourcing and talking to different people on staff, around staff,

recruits who visited, coaches who visited all over the place. We're pulling all sorts of stuff.
