Hello and welcome to the Saturday Down South podcast, he is Chris Marler. I am kind of

regera. Marler. It's Friday but it is anything but casual today. It's been a crazy week in our country and quite frankly I really

don't know where to start with all this. It feels weird to be talking about

ICC football on a day like today when there's there are so many

bigger things going on in our world that is dividing our country and it feels wrong to a certain extent not to sit here and talk about all

those things instead but at the same time I don't know where you're kind of that

on on everything that's been going on this

entire week with Jacob Blake and with everything that has happened in the aftermath

since then in the protests at professional sporting events.

But man, I'm just, I am drained right now.

Absolutely.

I don't mean this in a bad way.

You look, you look drained.

Like, and I feel it in the same way because I just that

was the thing I wanted to say at first I'm just exhausted I'm exhausted from

this it's like how many, and I'm not trying to say this from like a political standpoint of like, you know, but there's a part of me that where I'm tired of hearing about it because I'm tired of it happening you know what I mean? It's like how is it?

How are we still here and it's not funny and not laughing at that but it just it it kind of

surprises me that it's still this like dividing and

polarizing and all that kind of stuff and we're not gonna like this the second

time we've had to have this conversation or maybe third on

SEC football podcast. It's been at least that. We're not going to necessarily

talk about whether or not you know we think SEC players are going to be protesting or anything like that
