00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,860
Hello everyone and welcome to Tigers, Tailgates and Friends. I'm your host

2
00:00:04,860 --> 00:00:10,380
Brian Garner and I'm retired after 40 years in rehab medicine. I'm a retired

3
00:00:10,380 --> 00:00:16,620
baseball coach and a very passionate Mizzou football and softball fan. I also

4
00:00:16,620 --> 00:00:21,540
for the last three years have been a play-by-play voice for live stream STL, a

5
00:00:21,540 --> 00:00:26,220
streaming service that telecasts high school and junior college sports over

6
00:00:26,220 --> 00:00:30,300
the Internet in the St. Louis metropolitan area. I've been a Tiger fan

7
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:36,340
since 2007 thanks in large part to Chase Daniel and Gary Pinkle. I haven't missed

8
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:41,100
a home game since purchasing season tickets in 2008 and every season I

9
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:47,100
traveled to several road games on the schedule. In 2019 I won a national

10
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:51,740
championship for Mizzou when I was voted the college football fan of the year in

11
00:00:51,740 --> 00:00:57,300
an Instagram nationwide voting contest. What I hope to do with this weekly

12
00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:01,820
podcast is entertain and inform you with behind-the-scenes information about

13
00:01:01,820 --> 00:01:07,100
Mizzou sports that I'm also passionate about. Also I'll share ideas and

14
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:11,620
information for planning tailgates for you to enjoy especially if you're new to

15
00:01:11,620 --> 00:01:17,540
tailgating. This will also include parking, ticketing information, I'll also

16
00:01:17,540 --> 00:01:22,540
from time to time share recipes with you that my guests have enjoyed over the

17
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:27,940
years. All of this in the hopes of making your tailgate as smooth and fun as

18
00:01:27,940 --> 00:01:32,780
possible. I'll also share stories of Mizzou experiences like tailgating in

19
00:01:32,780 --> 00:01:39,380
Wyoming and tailgating in Memphis for the Liberty Bowl in a monsoon with Rick's

20
00:01:39,380 --> 00:01:46,060
story and friends. To autograph moments on my artificial leg to the wonderful

21
00:01:46,060 --> 00:01:51,340
friends that I've made over the years. Being a rookie podcaster as I get my feet

22
00:01:51,340 --> 00:01:55,420
wet I will bring you interviews from around the Mizzou sports spectrum from

23
00:01:55,420 --> 00:02:00,220
people you might not ordinarily hear from and learn why their participation in

24
00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:05,020
the athletic department is so important. As we travel this road together I

25
00:02:05,020 --> 00:02:09,860
welcome you to interact with Tigers tailgates and friends by offering up

26
00:02:09,860 --> 00:02:15,580
feedback opinions and questions about episodes by contacting the podcast and

27
00:02:15,580 --> 00:02:26,380
email be garner 2422 at ATT.net. We will also delve into the subject of

28
00:02:26,380 --> 00:02:31,580
friends, what they mean to us, how they affect our lives and how special they

29
00:02:31,580 --> 00:02:36,500
are and how they tie into Mizzou sports. I'll also introduce you to the non-

30
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:41,580
revenue sports and I think you might be surprised at some of the things you

31
00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:46,300
learn. All of the subjects I bring to you will come with a pride passion and

32
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:51,140
loyalty I have for this athletic department. I'll always keep it fresh

33
00:02:51,140 --> 00:02:55,620
hopefully make you smile provoke some thought and maybe get you to say hey I

34
00:02:55,620 --> 00:03:01,900
didn't know that this will be a weekly podcast and on occasion if needed we could

35
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:07,700
do a bonus episode just in case we might come up with some urgent information

36
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:11,820
that you might need. I've attended countless other sports at Mizzou and

37
00:03:11,820 --> 00:03:17,700
will share special moments from around the spectrum. Lastly a very special thank

38
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:21,860
you to you listeners. I appreciate the time you've taken to share your time and

39
00:03:21,860 --> 00:03:27,340
