This is an I-Heart podcast.

Oh, how'd the show get so popular, Josh?

Well, by the grace of God, first off, by you guys, second off,

but let me read your quote, start the show from our buddy, Captain Kahn's, or as you may know

him now, Captain Casual, quote, I propose we stop with the countdowning as many days into college

football until we are under three weeks away. So, friends, as Meemaw once said, it's easy to build

an army when the fight is this obvious.

I welcome you in.

We are high atop a star-studded downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

You might wonder how star-studied.

What if I told you, Gelby, Big Game Dame, and Dennis Dodd were 30 feet away from me as we speak?

Just immeasurable pressure on the show to be pulled off

flawlessly tonight. SEC Media Days right around the corner starts up tomorrow. We'll be over there

every day. We will have a show Tuesday night. We will have a show Thursday night. So we're getting back

talk to you about this whole NCAA Tennessee thing. It is Sunday night, July 16th, the year of

our Lord, 2023. And I'm happy to have you with us. They're watching in Paris, Missouri, McNeil, Mississippi. You know someone checked in from Ho Chi men over in Vietnam? Thank you so much for that. Not sure what time it is, but thank you for that. And John's Creek, Georgia. As I said, we're going to have a live show Tuesday night, kids, same time as usual, 8 Eastern, 7th Central, and looking forward to having a lot of coaches on the show this week. And some of them may even be uploaded tomorrow. You never know what's going to happen when you're over there at SEC Media Days. But that's not what I wanted to lead the show with. I wanted to lead the show with this. The state of Texas, football hotbed, right? Oh, great high school football, blah, blah, blah, all that's true,

so I don't say blah in a derogatory manner. I just mean, what is it really mattered as of late?
