Hey, Unnecessary Roughness listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen to ad-free on Amazon Music. Don't look at me like that. Don't look at me like that. I'm looking at me like that. Nobody looked at you. We were looking at each other. Hey, hey, hey, boys, week one. Yeah, week one. Let's do it. Lock in. Week one, lock in.

Welcome to unnecessary roughness. I'm just saying, don't look at me like that. College podcast.

Brandon, hey, Brandon. It's college football week. It's week one, baby. It's ball week.

Grab a twist of tea. Grab a twisted tea right next to you, Brandon. Drink that bad boy.

It is time.

It is week one. And I'll be honest, I can't believe it's here. Okay? I can't believe the boys are cheering. Ed's got one in his hands. It is, it's getting crisp outside. Tea Bob's already complaining. It's too cold. Brother, boy, do you have. It's like 50 degrees today, dude.

My poor daughters woke up there like,

Dad, is it Christmas? it's too cold brother boy do you have it's like 50 degrees today dude my poor daughters woke up

there like dad is it christmas no no no not yet not yet or sweater but i will say that after

last week's episode when brandon was like you know we need that first fall day it's like you

willed it in the place brandon because because I know in New York, Chicago,

all over, it was like, you can wear a sweatshirt, you can wear a hoodie now, maybe not everywhere today, but it's here. And the most important thing is we're grabbing a twisted tea. The 2025 college football season is upon us. And boys, as in Liam, Brandon and Ev, I have a special treat for you. Well, I don't, but I set up a special treat for you.

Okay? Go. Let's go, baby. Here we go, guys. What do we got? We've won. One T. Bob A Bear to get us ready. The 2025 college football season in the best way possible. Come in here. Come in here. Okay, guys, here we go. Week zero is great. Go off, King.

But this is where our true journey begins. And I mean journey, okay, guys, because football is never about the destination. Let's talk time. You see, the pursuit of foresight sometimes

comes to the cost of the present. And I want us to remind us all to be just that present.

This weekend there will be gratuitous talk of playoff implications,

win, loss projections, and potential champions.

But then our pursuit to parse the future,

let us not lose sight of the opportunity at hand, Liam.

And that is the opportunity to live in what we love.
