Here’s a paraphrased version of that story:
During a particularly entertaining segment of The Paul Finebaum Show on Friday, a caller named “Josh from Alabama” shared an outrageous story about how he ended up with a very strange piece of Nick Saban memorabilia—his used chewing gum.
Josh claimed he spent the entire night waiting for the former Alabama coach to speak at an event. Just before taking the stage, Saban spit out his gum, and Josh made it his mission to track it down.
“I explained the situation to a security guard and said I was determined to get that gum,” Josh said. “He told me only authorized personnel could go in, but I handed him $20, and sure enough, he went in, searched, and brought it back to me. So now I’ve got Nick Saban’s chewed gum—complete with his DNA—at my house.”

Finebaum, never one to hold back, asked if Josh had ever thought about chewing the gum himself.
Josh responded, “I can’t mix my DNA with perfection—I’d ruin it.”
He also mentioned that someone once offered him $5,000 for the bizarre keepsake.
