00:00Let's see. Let's head to Tennessee next, Joe. Of course, they're going into the season.

00:09New coach, new everything. The Vrabel era is over. You have Will Levis, who is absolutely

00:15going to be the starting quarterback there. And I know how much you love Will. The Mayo

00:19commercial a couple of weeks ago, everything's going good for him. Here he is yesterday talking

00:25about pressure, Joe. And you're a quarterback, lots of pressure in the NFL. Will says he

00:30can handle all of that pressure.

00:33Pressure is a privilege, and I feel like I've always felt that. I think the more that you're

00:40focused on what other people are going to be thinking about you based on how you act

00:45and what the outcome of your actions are, then the more that it can weigh on you. But

00:50I think I'm just more solely focused on myself and the people here. And I know as long as

00:55I'm just doing my best to work to get myself to the level I know I can get to, then that's

01:00all I can do. So pressure is cool. Pressure means there's a lot of eyes on you, and there's

01:04a lot of people counting on you to succeed. And I welcome it with open arms.

01:12Because the pressure that he had at Penn State backing up Sean Clifford was too much that

01:16he had to transfer to Kentucky and take over for Terry Wilson and the Wildcats, right?

01:21And the pressure playing in Kentucky was so great that he couldn't, you know, that was

01:26it. He's battle tested. Come on. He's never felt there's no pressure. He's been basically

01:31a backup and a transfer his whole life. Now he's the guy. That being said, the more and

01:37more that they play Chicago week number one, I really hope the Bears win this playoff game

01:42tonight so I could take the Titans, McDonald, excuse me, the Titans and we'll love us again.

01:50Plus the four and a half. I said McDonald Seattle's coach. I'm I'm out there. But Callahan

01:55boy, Callahan, right? He's the coach of Tennessee. Yeah, I just want to I just want to I just

02:01want to take Tennessee because I think this is setting up too big to fail. Right. The

02:06Chicago Bears 4 and 0 in the preseason smash, right? So you're looking to back Levis week

02:13one against the Bears. You're going to go right in with this guy, a guy that you have

02:17bashed and dragged for years around here, both at Kentucky and in the draft and last

02:25year at Tennessee. Drag this guy and you're going to go back in week one of this NFL season.

02:31You're telling me that right now. I probably am. I mean, for you know, will it be part

02:36of the car for me? She picks probably not. I'd like the over in that game, but I really

02:43I I really want Chicago to win tonight so that they could be a perfect 4-0 in the regular

02:50season and we could just get that win total. Can we inch it up? Can we get can we get more

02:55buyers sucked in to nine or 10 wins with Caleb Williams so I could alter it under six

03:01and a half and they when they go six and 11 with the human anchor Matt Iberfluss, that

03:07would be fantastic.
