Chase Thomas podcast. The Chase Thomas podcast. My nephew needs me to record. See, I hate, I already hate it. I hate it.

All right. Hello. And welcome back to Pret to Power Hour on a different day. We're doing this on a

Saturday because the NHL trade deadline came and went on Friday. So we wanted to save, you know, just anything where it's like, of course, like, that's something that happens to all big podcasters is you spend a lot of time on an episode and you're like, this is what's going to happen. And this is like, I think we're done. And then something big breaks right after. Anything I do, Tennessee, it just, it seems like it just never fails. Someone to commit, something to happen,

Sakagity, like it just never fails.

Someone to commit, something to happen. Like, it's just always something to happen. Show cause. You know, stuff. Show cause. Like, there's just all kinds of stuff that happens here at the University of Tennessee. But we love it. Brian and I specifically, I feel like Jeff is a Vanderbilt guy because he shares Vanderbilt stuff. and I didn't want to say anything when you were talking about you wanted to talk Tennessee football before we get started here, Brian,

because I was like, he shared like two. And I don't know if he accidentally did it because that's like the only thing that would make sense to sharing anything Vanderbilt related. Seriously. Like it was an accident. But I think he's a genuine Commodore fan, which I am.

Look, more power to you, Jeff.

I'm just upset that we're still latched to you guys when we switch to the 14 team conference with OU and Texas,

where it's like we have to still play you every year because you're our natural rival.

But is it a rivalry when we win 56 to nothing?

Like just this past year.

Hey, it's a rivalry when we beat you to nothing like just this hey it's a it's a rivalry when

we beat you guys with the buzzer beater on uh they did do that that was pretty good that was

and then and then you lose to missouri on another on another buzzer beter yeah i can't tell you

anything about a late law a late season lost to Missouri ruining things.

I wouldn't know anything about that.

But no, no, I think it's nice for us to be nice to Jeff about this.

Because again, and be fair to the commissioner of the SEC because, you know, the 14 games,

they're going to take away one of the Cupcake games.

And so that's nice that

we get to retain Vanderbilt for that purpose. I guarantee one win. Yeah. And I love the Vanderbilt thing too. It's like, that's how you know it's on a rivalry when it's like if Tennessee's head coach loses to Vanderbilt, you get fired. Like that's it. Like that's something it's like, I don't know if it's in the contract,

but it should be in the contract.
