Tennessee vs Texas and President Trump
Knoxville is BUZZIN! The Vols are undefeated and the #1 Texas Longhorns are coming to Neyland Stadium for the first time ever. ESPN's College Gameday will be here AND it was just announced that President Donald Trump is coming too. HOLY SMOKEYS! The excitement is in the air but there's also major concerns about traffic and security. The Chief Comms officer for the UT Athletic Department, Jason Baum, hopped on the pod to talk about all the things happening in this year's 50 Shades of Orange Bowl.

From Tokyo to Knoxville
Several years ago I met someone online, his name is Yoshi Momoki. He had just opened a Tennessee Volunteers themed bar in Tokyo, Japan. I reached out because I thought it was so cool and I wanted to send him some swag he could hang in his Good Ole Tennessee Bar. Over the years I have watched his instagram account explode and see all kinds of Vol fans make sure to stop by and get their picture with our favorite Japanese VFL. Today I got to finally meet him in person. It's been a really cool day. Follow Yoshi on IG https://www.instagram.com/gotb1796/ Subscribe to the pod and leave a 5 star review! and if you have the time send me an email to 5moreminutesWIVK@gmail.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You Mess It Up, You Clean It Up
I had some time to kill this morning so I decided to walk around Target for a few minutes, just to see what they had. I had to leave after about 15 minutes because the entire store was in such disarray my brain could not handle it. Have you noticed more and more places are messy and feel neglected rather than neat and tidy? Feel free to email me: 5moreminutesWIVK@gmail.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Identity Theft
Happy New Year! I didn't want to spend my first Monday of the year trying to protect my identity from being stolen but that is exactly what I did.

Its a new year of pods! Make sure you subscribe and leave a 5 star review. If I missed a step in fraud prevention please let me know! Send me an email to 5moreminutesWIVK@gmail.com Cheers to 2026!

The Knoxville Nativity Pageant
For the last 57 years people from all walks of life in Knoxville, TN come together to bring the story of the birth of Jesus Christ to life. The cast is made up of 120 volunteers, the choir is 150 voices strong and the animals add the "cherry on top" to the dramatic recreation of the Christmas story. How did the Nativity Pageant become a thing in Knoxville? What does it take to make this event not only happen but make sure it is free to all who want to see it? I'm so glad you asked.

Looking at the Future
Technology is getting weirder and weirder. In the past couple of months I have had two encounters with the Meta glasses.

Hit that subscribe button and if you are feeling generous leave me a 5 star review. They are much appreciated. I would LOVE your feedback on this one. Have you had a conversation with anyone while wearing the glasses yourself or talking to someone with the glasses on? I want to know your thoughts.

Mark Miller from Sawyer Brown
I grew up listening to Sawyer Brown and I thought Mark Miller was an absolute dream boat. I also thought the "Race Is On" was a Sawyer Brown song until I was in my 20's and so did another country superstar. We talk about the Hey Day of Sawyer Brown, how they got discovered on tv before there was American Idol and why 90s country is the best. Thank you to Mark for the time and if you want to see Sawyer Brown on June 6 here is the link for tickets. https://www.thenewportspeedway.com/tickets/sawyer-brown-friday-june-6th/ Subscribe to the pod and leave me a review.
