This is an IHeart podcast.

And just like that, we're back.

It is the Late Kick Extra podcast.

It's Tuesday morning.

It is August 24th, which is the more important part, the Year of Our Lord, 2021. And that's important because it means we are in a game week. Maybe week zero, but it's game week nonetheless. I have looked so forward to this. I know you guys have as well. And I really appreciate you being there, even over what those people on the outside call the offseason. Well, forget about that. Either way, we don't have to worry about people taking this game's name in vain for quite a while because it is the season. It's time to go. A lot of you've been asking, I'm not even going to treat this as a mailback question. It's just a normal day-to-day question. A lot of you have been asking, hey, you keep talking about all this stuff that's coming with the show. You keep talking about all these things that are right around the corner.

You keep telling us, we need to follow those Latekick Instagram and Twitter accounts at Latekick,

Josh. Well, what are we looking for specifically? Great question. Like a hundred of you have asked.

So let me tell you, when are they coming? Some of those changes are coming as soon as this week. Some more will be coming next week. I think you'll really see it kick into gear when I'm on the road starting in week one. We'll be in, I can't tell you that quite yet. We'll tell you this Sunday. But that's going to be an every Sunday thing, which in and of itself is going to be one of the new

changes we're making. I say all that. To say this, they are coming. Obviously, we've been building

up to the season with a lot of these elements. I think you're going to be very, very happy over the

next couple of weeks with how many new elements we add to this overall brand. And here's the best part.

Subtally, over the last several months to a little over a year now, I have asked you guys

for your opinion on things, and it seemed like they were random. All the while, we were building

towards the 2021 season. And a lot of my ideas that I had, you guys were kind of lukewarm on. So we

threw them right out the window. We are only rolling with things that are late kick audience approved. So I don't really have to worry about whether you guys are going to like what we have in store because you're the ones who are responsible for it. There is, I don't say as much as I can say right now, there are some things happening in Nashville that will very, very soon be made

apparent. One of you, Kevin, actually asked me, is that what I think it is in your Instagram story? Yep. If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, Kevin, it probably is. If you don't know what he's talking about, you will see it soon enough. It does pay, though, to be following me on Instagram at Lake Kick Josh, man, this chair squeaky. It does pay to be following those social accounts. You do get a

heads up. You get a little sneak peek. That's going to be ramped up tenfold when the season gets here. I'm telling you guys, you're going to really love the kind of access I can give you specifically on those social accounts. I can't always put it on the podcast or on the YouTube channel, but on those social accounts at late kick Josh. Really imperative that you're following there. So let's dive into the mailbag, and I'm going to weave some more little odds and ends, news and notes about the very near future of the show throughout the mailbag pod this morning. So we're going to start with Coach Atchison, who had a question last week. I couldn't fit it in, he said outside of this Georgia

Clemson game, which team is best positioned to overcome an early season loss and still be a national

title contender? I'm going to be a little more lenient with what we're going to call national

title contenders. Let's just call anyone that's in the top 10 to 15 range. For argument's sake,

a national title contender.

I really look at that Wisconsin Penn State game in week one. That is a phenomenal matchup, by the way. I think both of those teams are positioned if they get back up off the deck, if they lose a competitive game, let's say 27, 24, both of them can get back up off the deck. Both of them have plenty. I mean, more than plenty games that
