What's up? I hope everyone's having a good weekend. I am Brian Scott Rippey. Thanks for tuning into this Saturday edition of the Rippey Rites podcast. We got it into the week show for you.

Wanted to let the Thursday show with Weldon breathe a bit before we drop this other podcast. So glad we've used that time to determine that Weldon was an LSU-planted spy the entire time. He was at Ole Miss. Those of you who read the message board, probably understand that one. Got a good end-of-the-week show for you here. Brack and Ray with a hoops check in. I know Ole Miss plays probably either after or during, you're probably listening to this either during or after the game, but I think it's relevant. Some big picture stuff really did not spend a lot of time breaking down the Dayton Flyers. So I think it's pretty relevant. And then Greg and I did our pre-Christmas bowl picks for Skybox or in a bowl challenge of Skybox.

It's us versus the nerds.

I like our pre-Christmas bowl picks with Skybox. We're in a bowl challenge of Skybox. It's us versus the nerds. I like our chances. They have numbers and math on their side. But we'll see how that one turns out. So I'm going to talk to Brakenray today. I'm going to talk to Greg. Get the pre-Christmas picks and hit some NFL and then get out of here on a weekend. So before we get to that, though, I want to remind you the podcast brought to you by Skybox Sports Fix.

you'd be the most popular guy at your Christmas gathering if you show up with that. Go find your

own specials. All kinds of great stuff at LBs. All right, let's get to Brack and Ray. All right. We now welcome on former Andy Kennedy Stafford during his time at Ole Miss Brack and Ray. First hoops checked in in quite a while. We had some conflicting schedules. We were going to do one kind of before the Memphis game, but I couldn't do it. And then that we were going to do on Sunday. Point being, we hadn't talked in a couple weeks. I figured it would be good time to check in, talk some Ole Miss basketball, and kind of go from there. What's up, man? Man, not a whole lot. It's an interesting time of the year, like work-wise, because it's like you're just trying to get to Christmas, and everybody's acting like they're doing a lot, but really aren't. So trying to get to Christmas and then the Sugar Bowl is kind of where I'm at right now. That, that, pardon my take. It's a young and up and coming podcast. Check them out if you haven't seen him yet. Dan Katz, also known as Big Cat on there, had one of the truest, as he and PF do all the time, have one of like the truest and funnier takes I've seen where his opinion is after Thanksgiving break, no one works and everyone, whether I want to admit it or not, spends like the month and a half between Thanksgiving and the New Year, just kind of halfway drunk, not really motivated. I could not agree more, particularly now that I have a desk job.
