Hot Grits Podcast

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the HGP family. Travis & Spencer start by listing some classic “guys” at every Thanksgiving family get-together and give their Mt. Rushmore picks for Holidays. Then, they talk first College Football Rankings; where UGA stacks up; the JT Daniels debut vs MSSU; a tough week for Georgia Southern Football; and Dabo Swinney taking on COVID one absurd press conference at a time. Plus, the Braves signed Charlie Morton; Randy Arozarena had a wild week in Mexico and it’s not worst than steroids, maybe? On the second half; a deep dive into what is going with the Atlanta Hawks signing everyone in the NBA...Plus, College hoops is back and nobody seems to care besides Rick Pitino; and much, much more for your Thanksgiving!

Fresh from brand new digs, HGP continues the come-up in Episode 34 with a lengthy slapper of an episode. Election 2020 hot takes; UGA/UF; Falcons; Braves; Hawks. At the end of the episode, ESPN Coastal’s Christian Goeckel (@GoeckelESPN) joins Travis & Spencer to talk about the Georgia football program in general, Kirby Smart and the QB position in Athens and preview UGA/UF game in Jacksonville. Goeckel also talks about the success of ESPN Coastal (due largely to him and a trio of guys he works with on the daily drive-time sports radio show on 104.3FM in Savannah, “Three and Out.”) Let’s do it big for the Herschel Walker HGP episode.

Spencer & Travis record another segment about the Falcons choking away a football game; the World Series was crazy, confusing and awesome but Justin Turner is a mad man with some pull apparently.

Travis is pissed at Spencer after Spencer took L.A. in some futures bets last week even as the Braves were leading the NLCS 2-0. Plus, would you trade Ronald Acuna for a guaranteed World Series in 2021? Would you trade Pache for it? (7:50). Did the Braves change the Atlanta sports ‘narrative’ (16:10)? On the second half, the guys talk college football & hit the UGA/Bama game with takeaways for Dawgs & Travis previews Georgia Southern’s critical game versus a Top-25 foe this weekend at noon (23:05). Also, #LomaLopez Lightweight title bout recap; Phil Mickelson is beating up old guys now (45:25); Jeff Toobin sounds like a guy who would strut his stuff on a New Yorker company Zoom Conference..right? Let’s discuss it vigorously (48:30). Anddd let’s go, it’s HGP No. 32.

On the Maddux episode of The Hot Grits Podcast ... Spencer doesn’t say “that’s right Trav” and it’s weird. The guys talk Danny Quinn getting axed in Atlanta by Artie the Mob Man and ask if Matt Ryan and/or Julio Jones be traded. The Braves are fighting for their lives versus the Dodgers and Walker Bueheler has tight pants. UGA versus Bama ... and UGA vs COVID Super-Saban.
