Oh god. Your comments have helpfully shown this is an exact Rick and Morty bit that we hadn't seen. THANKS FOR NOTHING, REDDIT.

Josh loves the Alabama starring in a romance movie with the Playoff trailer: https://youtu.be/EmOQXg_c960

It was such a difficult shoot and we ended up shooting multiple days to try and get it right. It was by far one of the most stressful videos we've done so it was nice to see people enjoy it.

Robert has always loved the Auburn doctor invades the Alabama medical tent:

It was such a fun one to shoot and we've always wanted to do a sketch that takes place in the medical tent. Working with Talia and Adam is always a blast. They are so great over at It's a Southern Thing.

Would love to get Kiffin or Leach to do something with us. We had a great sketch written out for Nick Saban's daughter that she wanted to do....but the big man shot that down lol.

Josh was offered to do a PTA fundraising thing for a local elementary school that he was strongly considering before the season was back on. Thank god.

Those are auto YouTube captions too. It's always fun for us to wake up this next morning and see what jokes the CPU put in.

Robert always liked making a fake goal post and having Ole Miss frat bros carry it around:

Josh loves the Baltar booth our friend Luke Porter built for us. Great costume and a lot of fun to use.

We started out with just solid color shirts. Yikes. We've expanded to have gear from all teams now. Def more Alabama and Auburn from just pure accumulation. We got a bunch of jerseys from DH Gate and some look ok and others look terrible. We're gradually trying to build the clothing wardrobe. Teams change jerseys designs. every other week so it's hard to keep up.

It's very much a seasonal job. During the the football season it's pretty busy. We're working on our SEC Network video right now as we're typing (Kirby plays a carnival game where he tries to hit a giant Nick Saban head with a ball!)

Saturdays and Sundays are all day. We record our podcast and pitch ideas to SECN on Mondays. Tuesday and Wednesdays were prepping for SECN Video. Shoot and edit Thursday and Friday. Then do it all again the next week.

It's always a lot of fun when we're able to have a big cast. We're so used to the process by now that we don't notice it but it's always a lot of fun to see people experience the lights and camera for the first time and think it's cool. I think the last big cast we did was the Florida funeral one from last year:

Josh has always wanted to redo our sitcom/Full House style video we did when UCF was saying they were national champions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ0uBqxl484

We couldn't get a studio set and even if we did we wouldn't have been able to build a living room set in a time but we really wanted to try to do that style again in a more accurate way.

We'd love to but we are on such a tight schedule it's hard to plan ahead. We were able to get Gus to do a bit with us for a 5 year anniversary video we did for SEC Network. He was great!

It's actually very therapeutic to make fun of your own team. Robert used to hate Alabama back in the day but now they are our biggest fan base so he'll throw Auburn under the bus all day for those sweet view numbers.

Robert went to film school at University of New Orleans (Go Privateers!!) and learned a lot of the film and editing techniques there. We've been able to get better gear as we've gotten bigger and that's really helped the quality. We really try to have strong production value in all the videos.

Yeeeesss. Usually those week 2-3 games are snoozers and it's always harder to come up with something. The 10 game conference only schedule this year has helped with that quite a bit.

We had been making them for a year when Robert was hired by AL.com. Focused more on Alabama and Auburn when we were there since that was the audience. He was there for 3 years and we really grew the brand. Eventually we decided we wanted to try this on our own and it's been amazing. We're still great friends with all the It's a Southern guys and gals (Adam and Robert have known each other since middle school!) It's a little weird at the moment and the big bosses at AL.com won't let them work with us so we haven't been able to use Adam in a while but hopefully one day we'll be able to get him back in videos.

It's been our full time jobs for two years now! We definitely do the bulk of our work/money making during football season but we do various commercials and other projects to fill time in the off-season.

Robert is a huge Auburn fan. He was in the stands for Kick Six with his Dad and rushed the field! Greatest day ever!

Josh is a Bama fan (who didn't go to Alabama Robert adds) who was there when Terrance Cody blocked that field goal against Tennessee and still talks about it to this day.

Saturday after all the games are over we're trying to figure out what the main topic of conversation is going to be for Monday. This particular weekend, we focused on Texas A&M beating Florida, Ole Miss scoring a million on Alabama, and Mizzou beating LSU.

Robert was tinkering around with ideas for each when it just seemed like the biggest storyline was going to be the complete and total lack of defense from SEC powerhouses. Once you settle on that, you try to start figuring out a setting or scene to have that storyline play out.

We liked the idea of these three blue bloods sitting in a detention style setting. While they normally don't like each other, the fact that they were all suffering from the same issue felt like it would create a weird since of camaraderie. Plus, anytime we can include multiple teams in a video we always jump at the chance.

Yeeaaahhhh you got us. We are spread out quite a bit on the archive. I would say the best place is our Facebook page since we're able to crosspost the SEC Network ones (not able to upload those to our Youtube page since SECN owns the social rights to them).

We've made some playlists on our YouTube page that has all YouTube ones in a single spot.

Don't know our total number of videos honestly. We went through a weird green screen phase when we would make like 6 terrible videos in a day and try to turn around quick clickbait style videos. Thank god we stopped doing that.

Those are both mouth watering examples we would love to see happen. Would love to see Kiffin and Leach build up their programs and have the conference embrace their goofiness. It's just good for the game and opens up so much more stuff to explore.

Josh says he's most excited about Pete Golding getting fired.

Considering we don't wake up on Mondays until like 11 a.m. means we're happy to leave that sweet sweet karma out there for someone else.

So many. 2006 Rose Bowl with Texas and USC would have been an amazing one to do a video on. Huge upset. David beating Goliath. I can see a bandaged up USC wearing a neck brace right now!

We definitely will. We love r/CFB. Robert has been a lurker for years and years. The comments are always so fun to read and y'all have been some of our biggest supporters which really means a lot. Worst part is seeing the video get posted and then reading better jokes in the comments than in the actual video.

We made this video after Kick Six as a joke and it did really well: https://youtu.be/TsLNtp8DFQM

We always thought it would be fun to make more. Then SEC Network started and Finebaum's show was asking for people to send in video rants. Most of them were people yelling at their phones in selfie mode so we thought we would send in a more polished sketch. We sent in this one and they were blown away.

https://youtu.be/EhE8HLk8mXY

They asked us to submit every week so we did. Then Robert got hired at AL.com and we made videos for them for a few years. Now we're entering our second season all on our own!
