Max Olson of The Athletic makes his return to the show to talk with Justin and Dan. They start with Max’s expertise of all things college football transfer portal — what stood out about the spring window, how Auburn did and why Hugh Freeze’s recent comments about quarterbacks made a lot of sense.

The guys then take a barnstorming look through the new wor…

After a brief discussion about birds, Justin, Painter and Dan come together to take an early look at Auburn football’s 2024 season by ranking the opponents from easiest to toughest.

Are there any SEC teams ranked lower than Cal? How do you separate the Texas A&M and Oklahoma home games? And just how surprising is the consensus No. 3 pick here?

The answers to all of those questions, plus a tribute to Movie Gallery, are in this episode.

Justin and Dan open the show by talking about the NFL Draft — including a live reaction to that one Atlanta Falcons pick — and then discuss Auburn’s signing of Penn State WR1 KeAndre Lambert-Smith.

They talk about what the Tigers might do for the rest of the spring transfer portal window in football after a new exit, then take a look at a couple of very …

A whole lot happened in the portal for Auburn over the last several days, and Justin, Painter and Dan are here to talk about it.

The guys open with a look at the trio of Tigers signed to the football team on Monday: Philip Blidi, Isaiah Raikes and Keyron Crawford.

Then it’s a switch over to basketball, where they discuss Aden Holloway’s surprising decision (and ensuing comments) to transfer to Alabama and the fits for Tre Donaldson and K.D. Johnson at their new homes.

Justin, Dan, Pablo and Painter join forces to discuss the massive news of the week for Auburn basketball: Johni Broome’s return for a final season on the Plains.

The guys talk about how rare it is for a player of Broome’s caliber to come back to school, how Auburn had to hold off a lot of outside forces in order to make this happen and what this could mean for the rest of the Tigers’ roster as they push for a championship in 2025.

While this is a Broome-centric podcast, other topics of discussion include: MLB jersey aesthetics, SMU boosters, Coachella and Squirtle playing the saxophone.

After Painter leads a discussion of the gang’s favorite Pixar movies, the episode opens with a conversation about Auburn basketball landing Furman transfer point guard JP Pegues. The guys talk about why Pegues was such an important pickup and how the roster is gearing up for what could be a huge 2024-25 season.

Then it’s a switch to football, where the Tigers’ top needs in the second transfer portal window are discussed. That’s followed by a fun look back at the home-and-home series with Kansas State that wrapped up with a memorable Thursday night game in the Little Apple.

The guys open the show with a discussion of Aden Holloway’s entrance into the transfer portal and where Auburn basketball could go next when it comes to the point guard position.

Then they switch over to the blockbuster move of John Calipari from Kentucky to Arkansas and wonder who the Wildcats will get as their next head coach.

After talking about Aubur…

Justin, Dan and Painter recap Auburn football’s 2024 A-Day Game. The guys talk about the excellent Jordan-Hare Stadium debuts for several Tigers — especially local standouts Cam Coleman and Towns McGough.

They discuss how Coleman and McGough were both surprise additions to the freshman class in their own unique ways and how that could change the Tigers moving forward. Justin and Dan run through their other top performers from the spring game and talk about their biggest storylines of the day. Painter shares a dream.

The episode ends with some (now very dated) thoughts on who Arkansas should hire for basketball, as this was recorded hours before the John Calipari news broke. The actor bracket also comes to a thrilling conclusion.
