WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:08.679 It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven nine 2 00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:11.880 day. Holy crap, I don't know who the hell we think we are. 3 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.000 Get off our show, idiot. The kids are crying or turning off, 4 00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:18.879 crying. The countries are screwing it up. Gold Play inter Murals, 5 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:23.320 Brother, gold Play inn Murals. They're supposed to be mature adults, but 6 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:27.760 they're really not. Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are 7 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:39.039 you kidding me? Now? Here's Nick Coffee. All right, ladies and 8 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:43.280 gentlemen, let's get it started here Coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's Here on 9 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.159 a beautiful Monday afternoon. My name is Nick Coffee, the company man, 10 00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:51.920 mister John all on alongside today, and I'm back. I feel like I 11 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.439 wasn't gone that long, but it was, I guess, three days last 12 00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.600 week, and then of course I enjoyed the weekend. So it's been a 13 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.719 little while and it's a good day to be back because once again can return 14 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.120 feeling as if I didn't miss out on a whole lot. I mean, 15 00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:08.719 there was some things that certainly would have been fun to talk about, and 16 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:15.560 I'm sure the likes of the crew that filled in. You've got Scott Fitzgerald, 17 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.359 Tony and Dave those guys, so I'm sure they were able to keep 18 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.920 you guys highly entertained in my absence. But we do return here on a 19 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.840 big sports day. I mean, I've got a little bit of fomo because 20 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.920 I'd be lying to you if I told you I'd give a damn about what 21 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.760 happens in these two games tonight. But you have Game three of the College 22 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.280 World Series Texas A and M and Tennessee. I think that starts at like 23 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:46.319 six o'clock. And then tonight Game seven between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton 24 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:51.040 Oilers, which again that's two teams. I mean, you got two games 25 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.799 that a champion will be decided. Obviously, the NHL and college baseball are 26 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.760 not up there when it comes to the most watched sports in America, but 27 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.560 still, I mean, two championship games in one night, especially when you 28 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:07.040 don't usually get a whole lot going on in late June in sports. So 29 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.199 I'll start with a question, John, do you have a sport that you 30 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.879 feel like you wish you were more into, like to where you could you 31 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:17.400 know, you just kind of have that fear of missing out to where Man, 32 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:22.199 you you wish you had the same energy and excitement that fans of these 33 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.159 teams have. For me, it would probably be hockey. Same here the 34 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.960 first time I experienced that. Whenever I was down at WKU, there was 35 00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.560 a lot of Nashville Predators fans that I was friends with, and they were 36 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.120 all super into it. But I just never understood it because I never had 37 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:38.960 a reason to cheer for hockey or even really watch hockey. Oh, I 38 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:44.199 guess that's right when you were in when you were at Western, that was 39 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.039 right when I guess they were. I mean, I feel like they were 40 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.639 somewhat new at that time, the Preds, they were definitely the Yeah were 41 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.120 good. Yeah, And it was really it was a really good look for 42 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.520 Nashville because you know, they had the Titans for quite some time, but 43 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.759 they got them because the Oilers, you know, they left where they were 44 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.639 in Texas. But it was a really good showing for Nashville as that city 45 00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:07.719 was exploding and still seems to be exploding in popularity population. To me, 46 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:08.919 I mean, it just seems like the last place I'd want to be, 47 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.280 unless maybe I knew where Hawkta Girl was going to be hanging out because she's 48 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:19.280 she's awesome. But nonetheless, Nashville really at the time it was booming as 49 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.360 a city. They showed out for their team because the Preds were really good 50 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.400 at that time. And yeah, I would have had I would I would 51 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.520 have had some envy as well, because it would have been a fun ride. 52 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.680 But no hockey. To me, I don't really understand it a whole 53 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.800 lot. I mean, I know how you score a goal, and you 54 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:38.879 know that's how you know whoever has the most goals wins, Like I understand 55 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.360 that. I mean, I know what the sport is, but I wasn't 56 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.879 exposed to it at any level as a kid other than watching Mighty Ducks movies, 57 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.080 which were great, by the way, some of my favorite movies as 58 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:52.840 a kid, mostly just the first and the second one. The third one 59 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.840 wasn't terrible, but it was nowhere close to the original Mighty Ducks and of 60 00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.360 course D two. But you know, it wasn't a sport that many people 61 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.800 played where we grew up, right, It wasn't. It's just you know, 62 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.800 it's it's it's not something you just ended up in. Right, Like, 63 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:10.599 even when I was a kid, there weren't soccer leagues like there are 64 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:12.400 now. I mean, you could go play it if you wanted to, 65 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.400 but it was more of a rare thing. Now. I feel like soccer 66 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.519 is one of the most popular sports that kids tried for the first time. 67 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:24.560 But with hockey, it just seems as if despite the score oftentimes being you 68 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.920 know, three to one or something like that, it all times of the 69 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:30.879 game like you gotta be on alert, like you got to be you got 70 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.639 to be on the edge of your seat because at any moment something big could 71 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.720 happen, and that, to me is awesome. But I just have never 72 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.240 ever been able to get into it. I don't have a team or anything 73 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.639 like that. Like I went to it actually was the night of my bachelor 74 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.959 party in Chicago many years ago. The uh it was during the postseason. 75 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.800 It was it wasn't the Cup, but it was. It was maybe first 76 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:56.439 second round, and the Blackhawks were I'm not sure if they're any good now, 77 00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.720 but they're one of the better. I think that one of the better 78 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.360 franchises in the NA, at least that's what I've heard. The song. 79 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.560 Yeah, so you're on the right page. I think, Well, we 80 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:09.199 ended up at this really cool spot called timy O'tools in downtown Chicago, and 81 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.759 they, uh they it was a it was a great sports bar anyway, 82 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.560 and then as we were there throughout, we realized, Okay, this is 83 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.720 actually the legit, like, this is the watch party spot in Chicago. 84 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:23.120 I'm sure there's many of them, but you know, I think there were 85 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:27.279 actually some coaches shows and stuff like they had some affiliation with the with the 86 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.839 actual franchise, so just not I wasn't at the game, but just being 87 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.079 there, I mean, man, it was. It was intense, you 88 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:38.959 know, watching among an entire bar of Blackhawks fans, and it just felt 89 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.439 so empty because man, like I just went and I didn't want to be 90 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.360 the guy like yeah, because it would be all fake, like it would 91 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.639 be fun. I wouldn't even be knowing what I'm cheering about. I would 92 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.120 just like yell because they're yelling so yeah hockey. And I went to River 93 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.720 Frogs games as a kid, but I was too young. You probably never 94 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.160 got to experience that right when you were no. Yeah, by the time 95 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.199 you were a young kid to where you know, you you your parents may 96 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.480 take. I think that the team was gone we had I think I feel 97 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:08.240 like we had a team prior to the River Frogs that didn't last a long 98 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.879 time. In fact, I'm not sure the river Frogs lasted all that long, 99 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.680 but they played at Broadben Arena and it was just cool to have a 100 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.160 hockey team. But you know, at that point, I didn't really I 101 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.519 didn't really get into it. What do you say, what do you think 102 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:25.600 you know more soccer or hockey? Oh gosh, I would say, first 103 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:29.040 of all, I know very little about both, but I would say hockey. 104 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.680 And it's honestly just because of movies. Like with soccer, I mean 105 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.959 I've there's not really a lot of well known soccer movies. Yeah, and 106 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:36.959 I've not. When I say movies, I mean like as a kid, 107 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.680 you know what I mean, like you know that kind of stuff. And 108 00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:46.120 with soccer, I've just never personally, there's never been any moment like you 109 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.439 know how I mentioned just a moment ago like, hey, is there a 110 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.879 sport that you've ever really, you know, wish you knew more about. 111 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:57.160 I've never had any thought about wanting to know more about Soccer. Doesn't interest 112 00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.000 me. It's just not my kind of thing. I'm not here to crap 113 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.079 on it because clearly it's actually the most popular sport on this planet that we 114 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.079 live on. It's just not for me. It's not my cup of tea. 115 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:08.879 I don't you know, clearly, it's it's popular elsewhere, and you 116 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.480 know, people like what they like, you know what I'm saying. So 117 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.160 I would say, just because there's been at least a little more interest on 118 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.199 my end when it comes to hockey, that I you know, I could 119 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:21.160 maybe last a little longer before being exposed as somebody who knows absolutely nothing. 120 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.160 You bet you know a lot about soccer? Do you never talk about soccer? 121 00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:27.720 But like, yeah, you're a little bit about it? On Friday 122 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.240 with Scott Up, I bet you. I bet that I was getting a 123 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.079 little horned down. I love America as they say, I love it. 124 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.399 I love it. You get the platform to talk soccer and look you could, 125 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.600 I mean, look, feel free to bring it up if it's a 126 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:44.199 notable thing on this show. Just know it's gonna be the company man's soccer 127 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.600 take. We don't want no money. Tune in the channel out when Nick 128 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.519 Coffee's back there. Yeah, well I mean that. Look, I'm well 129 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:54.519 aware that there are sports that I should know more about, and it would 130 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.680 make me a little more dangerous here on these airwaves as somebody that you know, 131 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.279 technically is hired to be a sport I mean, in mind, job 132 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.160 is to be a sports talk host. But the one sport that I you 133 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.240 know, I feel like not knowing a lot about soccer, hockey or even 134 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.439 baseball, it hasn't really done much to impact me negatively in my career. 135 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.639 But golf is absolutely the sport that I just I mean, it's popular, 136 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.800 you know what I mean, like, it's it's and it's I think at 137 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.480 times it can be a pretty you know, I don't think it's going to 138 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.959 dominate this market when it comes to talking points in sports radio, but you 139 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.839 know, you could certainly, you know, talk some golf and people are 140 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:33.840 going to be interested, especially when there's big events. It was good for 141 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.159 me though when we had the controversy because I didn't need to know anything about 142 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.320 golf to talk about what was going on with Scotti Schffler. Right, that 143 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:41.720 was a golf story, but it had nothing to do with golf itself. 144 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.840 So yeah, anyways, big night tonight in the world of sports, you 145 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.519 have any interest in watching either of these two? No, not really out 146 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.360 here. I appreciate your honesty. I mean, it's like we, like 147 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.120 we said at the very beginning of this, it's one of those things where 148 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.600 we know we don't know about what we're watching. Necessarily we kind of have 149 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.279 the phone, but we don't want to fake it. Yeah, And I 150 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:05.960 mean it would be first of all, you should never fake it, but 151 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.320 I wouldn't be good if I tried. There are people who really good at 152 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.799 it, and I don't mean and I don't that's not a back ended compliment, 153 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.919 but I know people who know very little, don't care at all, 154 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.519 but they can be. They're savvy enough to where they can get away with 155 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.919 it. I'm not good at that because I just would feel uncomfortable knowing that 156 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.919 I'm just you know, talking out of my rear end essentially. But I 157 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:31.240 would say college baseball, it's it's grown quite a bit. I feel like 158 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.360 in popularity. As I hesitated there, I'm trying to think if I can 159 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.799 pull some numbers to kind of support that, because I know they do ESPN. 160 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.480 This is good inventory for ESPN this time of year. College baseball, 161 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.799 especially the World Series, I mean really just the postseason NBA tournament rather it 162 00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:50.759 be regional Super regional. I mean, it doesn't do what they do when 163 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.279 it comes to bigger sports that have a bigger following nationally. But I mean 164 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.120 I feel like tonight, you know, I probably at that time it starts 165 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.360 at six, I think it is, which is a weird time I'm for 166 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.279 a big time event. But either way, maybe it's seven. I'm not 167 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.039 sure, but I'll probably here. Here's what I'll probably do, since everybody 168 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.720 I'm sure is on the edge of their seat to get the itinerary for my 169 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.120 plans after the shows, and that I'll probably get home at like six point 170 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.639 thirty six forty five. The kids will want to go outside and play. 171 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.360 They've they've probably already driven their mother nuts for the first you know, forty 172 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.399 five minutes of them being home, and then I'll basically come in to be 173 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.519 the relief man. I'm coming in, you know, tag I'm tagging in 174 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.720 while she can get ready for dinner, and I'll go outside with the kids 175 00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.759 and you know, sweat my ass off. They'll act as if they are 176 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.639 not bothered by heat at all because they're tougher than me. And then we'll 177 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.559 go in for dinner and I'll probably turn that baseball game on and then I'll 178 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.639 see the score, and then my wife will probably say, why the hell 179 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.600 are you watching baseball? And I'll tell her, well, honey, this 180 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.360 is it, this is the game. This is the one where we didn't 181 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.840 we find out who wins it all. It's the college World Series in Omaha. 182 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.279 And then she'll probably take the remote put on an old Judge Judy episode 183 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.639 or something from the DVR, like that's probably what's going to happen, and 184 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.720 then after dinner, Since again I know you're all curious, we strategically try 185 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:07.559 to trick the kids, right, We try to trick them into not thinking, 186 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.919 you know, not really tricking them, I suppose, but distract them 187 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.000 from wanting to go back outside in the awful heat. That's my night. 188 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.159 I live a pretty exciting life, John, So yeah, I'll have it 189 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.200 on. I don't even know where I would find the hockey game, And 190 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.159 again, I wish I was into hockey. But at this point, YE 191 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.639 know, I feel like they're affiliated with TNT. But that's just that sounds 192 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.679 right. No, I think you're right on that because they've mixed in Charles 193 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.080 Barkley on some coverage, and they wouldn't be able to do that if they 194 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:37.720 weren't in that Turner network of stations. So yeah, all right, So 195 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.159 there were some things that came up last week. I mentioned the Bahamas tour 196 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.759 that we now know the Bahamas trip that louelv was going to go on. 197 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.919 So they're gonna be in the Bahamas twice in what roughly three to four months. 198 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.080 So I've got some thoughts on why this trip is so beneficial, and 199 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.840 I feel like this is a trip that fans could do more realistically than they 200 00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:03.320 realize, and certainly more do a then I think the the Maui Invitational, 201 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.600 which they're not Maui, the Battle for Atlantis, which they're going to be 202 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.639 in too, which again two trips to the Bahamas for these guys very I 203 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:11.960 mean, I don't know if that was part of the pitch when you're out 204 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:18.159 there building your roster, Pat Kelcey, but hey, it can't hurt your 205 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.120 chances of getting a guy who maybe has a year left had get to go 206 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:26.399 to the Bahamas twice again. That's I think that's a pretty good selling point, 207 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:28.480 So we can get into that. Also, I don't want to, 208 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:31.759 you know, nerd out too much on numbers, but there was a Yula 209 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:37.639 board meeting last week, which took place I believe on Thursday or Friday, 210 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:43.519 and it just gives you really some financial It gives you some financial perspective on 211 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.200 you know, how much, you know, how much money they've had to 212 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.559 pay out of a pocket for things that were not budgeted right, unbudgeted expenses, 213 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.120 budgeting challenges that they have upcoming, and some revenue goals that the university 214 00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:01.000 has from the athletic department. So look right now, it's I mean not 215 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.080 this year, but next year, I think it is. That's when they're 216 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.919 going to have to start, you know, figuring out how they can come 217 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.440 up with, you know, twenty to twenty two million. And I believe 218 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:11.799 I could be wrong. Again, I was really you know, out of 219 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.960 pocket the last five days or so, which was great, But I think 220 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.720 Ohio State's the only school that has come out and basically just said, yeah, 221 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:20.360 we're gonna be able to We're gonna do it. We're gonna pay twenty 222 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.960 two million, which is the maximum were allowed to pay with this settlement, 223 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.480 and we're and we're we're ready to do it. So I'm sure others will 224 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.679 do the same thing here soon because again, if you're out. I mean, 225 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:33.759 I don't think anybody's at this point at a disadvantage by not doing what 226 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.919 Ohio State has done. But I find it interesting to see little things you 227 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.159 can do within the athletic department that will save you a lot of money. 228 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.799 Like, for example, John, I don't know if you know this or 229 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.799 not, And I thought this was crazy at the time, whenever Charlie Strong 230 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:50.440 was here, and I believe when Bobby was here, and hell, they 231 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.600 may do it still, I don't know, but I just remember learning that 232 00:13:54.639 --> 00:14:00.679 this was a thing whenever Charlie was here, and to me it seemed like 233 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.559 such a waste of money and just silly to do. But they would rent 234 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:05.960 out and like the team would not stay on campus, they would stay in 235 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.440 a hotel in Louisville the day before they played a home game, and I 236 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.200 just felt like it was really dumb, and that's expensive, like chartering a 237 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.360 bus to take the entire team from the hotel, I mean, renting out 238 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.600 a hotel blocking off however many rooms they have to block off like that just 239 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.799 seems like an unnecessary expense and at the time they could afford it, and 240 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:30.559 they may be able to afford it now because maybe that's not that expensive, 241 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:35.879 but there are things that you can cut that really just aren't necessary. They 242 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.200 could get you probably not twenty two million in the bank to start paying these 243 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:41.799 athletes every year, but it'll all, you know, everything adds up, 244 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.080 So we can get into that. And I don't have any strong thoughts on 245 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:54.399 it, but I continue to be really really fascinated with the Kentucky and Arkansas 246 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:58.360 fan base war online. It's a really sloppy way. I don't know how 247 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.960 to describe it, but Kentucky fans in Arkansas fans, man, I think 248 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.440 they kind of deserve each other, if you know what I'm saying, But 249 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.519 they are always at it. If you can't see anything shared, Like let's 250 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:16.080 just imagine some objective media members out there reporting on something about Mark Pope in 251 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.799 Kentucky, or an objective media member for the college basketball world that is reporting 252 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:26.080 on something or sharing thoughts on Caliperiot Arkansas. I feel like eighty percent of 253 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.360 the responses are from the other fan base, just talking mad crap about the 254 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:33.360 other. Like, I think this could turn into being a really, really 255 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:35.240 really heated rivalry. I mean, it already is going to be just with 256 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.960 the storyline, But like, I don't know Pope is gonna be really get 257 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:41.879 I don't know Pope's gonna go there, you know what I'm saying, because 258 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:46.159 Cal will Cal's a fiery guy. He's gonna be petty and spiteful because that's 259 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.320 just how he's wired. And I don't say that as an insult. I 260 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.960 just think competitors are like that. And look, he chose to leave Kentucky, 261 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.320 but let's be real, you know, he probably would have stayed there 262 00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.120 had he gotten what he wanted, and that would you know, know, 263 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.399 the new facility that the school was dragging their feet on. He clearly didn't 264 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.720 like working with Barnhart. So I just don't know if Pope's going to be 265 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.200 the guy that that's Pope to me, seems like somebody that could keep that 266 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.720 thing from really reaching its peak of being like, oh my goodness, this 267 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.879 is crazy because he's he's Mark Pope. I mean, you know, no 268 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.120 offense. He seems like a nice guy's a good coach too. He might 269 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.000 do well there, I don't know, but like he just that doesn't seem 270 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.559 like his brand, and he already say he's against L's down too. He's 271 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:33.320 just kind of corny. He strategically answered that without it's like, you guys, 272 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:34.600 you're gonna get me in trouble. I'm not going I'm not I'm not 273 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.440 gonna go there. And it's all because if he was, you know, 274 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:42.200 very adamant that BYU like that people were going to be you know, dealt 275 00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:47.320 with because they were doing horns down. I mean there was when their horns 276 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:49.000 down shirts at the BYU student section and he, you know, he had 277 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.120 to apologize in the press conference. He led the press conversation just so you 278 00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:56.200 guys know, that's not us, that's not who, it's not what we're 279 00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.240 about. I'm like, he's doing that at UK press coming like it's sports 280 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.160 your dork him on now. So anyways, Mark Pope, I mentioned his 281 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:06.839 brand like, he's just not somebody that I think would really, I don't 282 00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:08.400 know, maybe I'm totally wrong too. Maybe when it comes to between the 283 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:11.880 lines, he's a different dude because I've never watched him coach a game. 284 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:18.920 I don't think ever. But he was spotted on an airplane earlier this morning. 285 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:23.640 A UK fan said, Mark Pope is on my flight from atl to 286 00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:30.680 Lex this am. He's not only flying commercial he's flying coach. I'm sorry, 287 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.359 he is not only flying commercially, he's flying coach. He's a man 288 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.680 of the people, unlike cal who separated himself for everyone. So again, 289 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:38.119 some Kentucky fans can look at this, Wow, this guy, I mean, 290 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:44.920 how selfless is he saving the UK basketball budget some dollars? He wants 291 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.680 to not use a chartered plane, which most people do, but it is 292 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.000 an it is a mean. Look, Mark Pope is going to be fine 293 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.359 on that airplane. I'm sure he's landed safely now and he's doing just fine. 294 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:03.759 But it is unusual for coaches, the coach at college basketball programs that 295 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.599 are in the Power four now Power five, Yeah, with with the Big 296 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:12.799 East, it's unusual for them to fly like that. Now, maybe this 297 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:18.440 is a one off cancelation flight issue with a chartered flight or something like that, 298 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.079 to where this is the only option he had. But it's it's it's 299 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:23.559 just not it's not it's not something you typically see. And I don't bring 300 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:29.119 it up to say things are falling apart in Lexington they're you know, they're 301 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.759 they're mid now, because I don't believe that. It's just it's just such 302 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:37.279 a drastic difference from what Kentucky was used to. And here's what I think 303 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:38.799 is going to be difficult for Kentucky fans, not all of them, and 304 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:41.480 I won't try to speak for them because I'm not one of them. But 305 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.920 you you can say what you want now about Mark Pope being a man of 306 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.039 the people. You know, he might have he might have burst somebody's baby 307 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:52.960 on the plane or something, because that's that he's that kind of guy, 308 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:55.880 you know. Oh no, I'll take middle seat. Don't worry, Like 309 00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:00.440 could it could just be Mark Pope's brand. But Kentucky fans, I think 310 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:07.480 they're lying if they say they didn't enjoy having somebody that would oftentimes remind you 311 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:15.359 we first, right, Kentucky is Kentucky Blue gets in and your brand now 312 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.960 is so different, and in fact, I think it's a little refreshing, 313 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.880 to be honest with you, and I think there's going to be times where 314 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:25.519 you're like, man, this guy's so relatable, he's one of us, 315 00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:29.519 and there's really really good value there. And I mean, and I mean 316 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:33.119 that from a fans perspective, because you know, Jeff Brom's one of us, 317 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:34.119 right, I mean, not technically, he's got a lot more in 318 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.920 his bank account than you know, someone like myself. But like Jeff Brom 319 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.640 is Louisville, he'll be a Louisville fan forever, even if you know something 320 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:45.359 bad happens here, I would imagine, because it would be unnatural for Jeff 321 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.160 brom to not want to see Louisville do well. And I think Mark Pope's 322 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:49.480 the same way with Kentucky. Now, don't know if he's gonna have success, 323 00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:53.079 but you know, we'll see so again, there's benefits to that, 324 00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:59.039 but I think Kentucky fans are going to be it's gonna be a transition because 325 00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:03.799 I know this. They don't like people making fun of their coach for flying 326 00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:06.920 like a poor like us, right, like a bunch of bums like we 327 00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:10.519 you know, and look, if you're flying, you're certainly not poor because 328 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:11.559 it's not cheap. But you know what I mean, Like he's not flying 329 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.839 elite, he's not flying in style, he's not you know, the million 330 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:21.039 dollar man like your old coach was. This dude's flying like, you know, 331 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.920 like a normal human, which there's nothing wrong with that. And again 332 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:27.880 I think some can look at it and find it as a redeeming thing. 333 00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:32.960 He's paying for his bags, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, But 334 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:37.799 but again, I think they really enjoyed even when Cal wasn't winning at a 335 00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:41.960 high level and he had shortcomings, he had a gift of winning the offseason, 336 00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:47.880 carrying himself a certain way. You know, he'd talk as he would 337 00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:52.200 talk as if he had just reeled off a couple of national championships in the 338 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.119 last couple of years, and you'd be eating it up. And then you 339 00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:00.000 think, like, wait a second, we lost to Saint Peter's las year 340 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:02.160 year. What the heck? I got fooled again, Like, you know, 341 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:06.039 so he was great at that and like it's all it's all flash, 342 00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:07.599 right, it's not. I mean, the results is what really matters, 343 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:12.000 and and Cal you know, didn't get the great results down the stretch there. 344 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:17.440 So everybody I think benefited from this move. To be honest with you, 345 00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:21.720 everybody did. But I also think, you know, with Kentucky basketball 346 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:23.599 having a fan base that cares about this thing three hundred and sixty five days 347 00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:29.359 a year, twenty four hours in a day, I think you all really 348 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.440 actually are a rarity in college basketball. You're not alone. I mean think 349 00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:40.319 Louisville fans are like this to an extent, but like we're going to really 350 00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:47.960 amplify anybody out there that's mentioning, Wow, man, Kentucky's coaches here, 351 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:51.039 Louisville's coaches here. Do you see that car that the Kentucky coach pulled up 352 00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:53.519 in. You see that helicopter he landed on the football field at this game 353 00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:56.480 to go watch this recruit play at high school? Like you we like that 354 00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.359 kind of stuff, right, So I don't know, I just what it 355 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.359 said to me when I saw some Kentucky fans And we'll read some of the 356 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.839 tweets coming up later because Arkansas fans again just making fun of Pope. Kentucky 357 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.440 fans some saying he's one of us. What a guy. And there are 358 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.279 some Kentucky fans saying like, hey, no, this isn't call, like 359 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:19.160 we need to do better. And I think, for me, first thing 360 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:25.599 I thought of when I was looking at some of those comments was the leash 361 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:29.519 is going to be really short if this is his brand and they're not good, 362 00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:32.240 you know what I'm saying, Like, because let's be real, like 363 00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:33.759 flash and all that stuff, it can buy you some time, right, 364 00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.720 And with Kentucky fans and Mark poper are going to deal with that. I'm 365 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:40.799 sure they know, but you don't really know until you're there. And that 366 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:45.039 is even with cal and you were frustrated and you really, really, you 367 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:47.319 know, wanted this thing to play out the way that it did, right, 368 00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:49.000 Like, I think a lot of Kentucky fans are really happy that he's 369 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.039 gone. They didn't have to pay him to leave, and they got a 370 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.519 coach who you know clearly loves Kentucky and he may be really good there. 371 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.200 But when there are some losses, which they're going to be, like, 372 00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:03.759 they're going to lose the teams that Kentucky you know, didn't often lose to 373 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:06.200 unless you know, they played him in the first round of the tournament. 374 00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:08.759 And I think you're not gonna have that. Like you can't go to the 375 00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:11.880 back of your mind and think, Okay, well, I mean that sucks, 376 00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.440 but we know this guy is legit. He won a championship in his 377 00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:18.480 third year here. Well, this guy has never played in a tournament, 378 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:19.559 he's never won or he's never won a tournament game, he's never won his 379 00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:23.440 league. So like, I don't know, I am very interested to see 380 00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.960 how both fan bases over these next couple of years. Really, you know, 381 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:30.079 I guess it all depends on what those results are. But you know, 382 00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:34.720 I mean, for what we do around here, John, it's really 383 00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.039 good that there's something new and fresh for both teams, right, yes, 384 00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:42.480 but also you know, every now and then I kind of think like we 385 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:45.359 have no I mean, this is the truth. But it as much as 386 00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.079 as much as I'm excited, didn't think Pat Kelsey's gonna do well here. 387 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.440 I don't have a clue if that's the truth, you know, I just 388 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:53.359 I'm just, you know, it's just you know, an educated guest, 389 00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:57.200 wishful thinking. I should say, all right, don't go anywhere, and 390 00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:00.720 I mean it's stay right where you are. We're here for the next two 391 00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:06.599 hours and thirty five minutes on Sports Talk seven ninety. That's right, Coffee 392 00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:10.079 and company rolling along here on a Monday afternoon. Thank you for hanging out 393 00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:12.000 with us here on Sports Talk seven ninety. We are fueled by Thornton's. 394 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.319 Make sure you sign up to become a member of the Thorntons of Freshman Awards 395 00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:19.160 program. I was really missing Thornton's on my drive. I was I think 396 00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.519 the area that I was driving through would be considered the Bible Belt, which 397 00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.279 makes a lot of sense. And I'll talk a little bit about my travel 398 00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.279 in the four o'clock hour. But yeah, there were not any Thorntons along 399 00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.759 the way, so I had to stop at you know, less you know, 400 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.359 lesser types of convenience stores, gas stations to fuel up. And I 401 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.880 felt felt sad about it. I felt gross, but you know, it's 402 00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:41.839 what I had to do. That's what I had to do, all right. 403 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.279 If you guys want to be a part of the show, you can 404 00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.240 do that. You can give us call Fibo two five seven one seventy nine 405 00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:49.160 hundred and if you want to text in on the L and N Federal Credit 406 00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:55.400 Union text line five two six five three zero seven ninety. So the details 407 00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.440 came out last week about this trip next month, about a month from now 408 00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:02.519 that you have all basketball is going to be taking which it's great. I 409 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.000 mean, let's just start with us. It's great for this team to be 410 00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:10.720 able to get just as much reps as possible together and you know, being 411 00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:14.920 in the Bahamas in so bad. So they're going to be arriving at the 412 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:19.440 Baja Maar Convention and Arts and Entertainment Center on site at the Bajamar Resort in 413 00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:22.839 Nasau on July the twenty eighth. That's a Sunday. They're going to play 414 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.880 two games, one on Tuesday, one on Thursday. It's going to be 415 00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:30.359 against international competition. And I don't think we know in fact, yeah, 416 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:34.079 we don't know who those teams are. It'll probably be you know, players 417 00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:40.160 that have have connections to the Bahamas. I mean, I know at times 418 00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:44.680 there's been like national teams or just pro teams that play in other countries that 419 00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:48.440 have traveled to play college teams in these kind of situations. I don't know 420 00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.559 if that's the case, I would imagine it'll probably be the type of teams 421 00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.759 that you know, you saw when Louisville went to the Dominican Republic and when 422 00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.759 they went to the Bahamas years ago, because it is is expected. This 423 00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.960 is the first trip they've taken like this since twenty fifteen. So you know, 424 00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.039 I don't think they're going to play any any teams that have you know, 425 00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.119 former high level college players. But hey, if that's the case, 426 00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:15.079 then you know that just be more competition, a better a better you know, 427 00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:21.319 a better test. I suppose, So this this is I mean, 428 00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:23.400 I'm not gonna act like this is super affordable and cheap for everybody, because 429 00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:29.160 I'm sure that's not the case. But I would be highly highly shocked if 430 00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:33.559 you you could, if you could get to this thing a lot. I 431 00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:34.519 mean, I'd be highly shocked if you can't get to this thing a lot 432 00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:37.119 cheaper than you can if you try to go to the Battle for to the 433 00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.039 yeah, the Battle of for Atlantis, which you know, I would imagine 434 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.079 both would be great if you can go to it. But I mean if 435 00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:48.240 you just go to Expedia and you look up a flight, uh, and 436 00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.680 you know this resort, I mean it's you know, you could if you 437 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.640 if you leave like on Monday and you leave or if you leave Louisville on 438 00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:00.599 Monday or wherever you're traveling from and you get home on Friday. I mean, 439 00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.359 it's it's probably about nineteen hundred bucks. That's what I saw. I 440 00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:06.240 mean, I didn't go through the specifics. I was just trying to get 441 00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:08.079 a ballpark range of what it cost. And when you look at it on 442 00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:12.000 Expedia, this specific resort, there is a twenty two dollars a day added 443 00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:15.920 fee because of this event, So I don't think that includes tickets of course, 444 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:19.960 if you're just buying it through Expedia, you're not going through the company 445 00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:23.720 that's putting this on, which is I mean, the event is the Baja 446 00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:29.799 Maar Hoops Summer League BDG Sports, which is actually located in Lexington. They're 447 00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:33.839 the promotions company that is putting this on, so they'll have I'm sure VIP 448 00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.519 tickets, you know, fan tickets to where you can purchase through you know 449 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.519 them officially and you know, heck, I'm sure you'll be in fact right 450 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.079 now, you know, I'm looking at the VIP packages they have here at 451 00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.000 the Baja mar Hoops dot com website. And by the way, this is 452 00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:55.200 the same place where Louisville played in the Baja Whatever in I think twenty it 453 00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:56.079 was, Yeah, it was Max last year, but mackweddin there. It 454 00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.559 was when Mike mcgeese coached and actually won that and then of course went on 455 00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.960 to have a really bad season. So I would imagine if you go through, 456 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:06.480 you know, if you if you've got the means to go through the 457 00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:11.039 actual resort Baja More Hoops dot Com and get the accommodations at the official team 458 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:15.279 hotel in the VIP packages, then I'm sure it's going to be great. 459 00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.559 But I think if you really want to go and you're trying to be as 460 00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:22.039 uh, you know, as cheap as possible, I think you could probably 461 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.759 do it more affordable than you might expect. But that's just you know, 462 00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.480 and that's relative. That all depends on what everybody's financial situation kind of is. 463 00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:33.359 I don't think I'm going to be able to go, but I know, 464 00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:34.880 I know, I'm looking into it to see if I could potentially make 465 00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:37.759 it work. And yes, that would be great for the show to be 466 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.880 there. But also I want to see this team play. I mean, 467 00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.319 this is a brand new team. Of course, we are in a brand 468 00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:48.880 new era. We've seen highlights of these guys. We've seen clips of them 469 00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.039 in practice in the last couple of weeks, which is nice to see. 470 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.599 But man, I want to see these guys in action, and I want 471 00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:59.440 to overreact in a good way or maybe a bad way, because that's what 472 00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.480 we do. There was really no reaction that was worth much of anything for 473 00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:04.720 the last you know, year and a half, because you know, if 474 00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:07.079 you're someone like myself, I think we knew for quite some time, man, 475 00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.480 this thing, meaning the previous era, it was it was doomed. 476 00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.559 But yeah, I'm hopeful I can make it, but I wouldn't you know. 477 00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:18.319 I'm hoping I can make something happen, but I doubt it ends up 478 00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:23.200 working out. And also another reason why I'm gonna exhaust all options to to 479 00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:26.960 find a way to make this work is because I don't see anything listed as 480 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.359 far as any way to see these games unless you're there now. I'm sure 481 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.960 UL is going to have their crew on hand and they'll be able to, 482 00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:40.119 uh, you know, they'll be able to do something to where you can 483 00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:44.079 get a bunch of highlights, like condensed highlights or something like that. But 484 00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:47.680 I don't know if they're allowed to just throw it up on go cards dot 485 00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:51.240 com as a stream because technically the new grant of rights deal with the with 486 00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:52.519 A with the ACC. I don't think they allow you to do that. 487 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.000 I could be wrong, but you know, I don't think you can. 488 00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:00.359 I don't think you can do that because technically you don't own you the rights 489 00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.119 of your broadcast. The a SEC network does, and the a SEC network 490 00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:06.559 is certainly not going to cover this live. I wish they would. I 491 00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:08.599 wish they'd even do a tape delay or something. All right, let's go 492 00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:11.680 to the phone lines. Five two, five hundred is the number if you 493 00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.319 want to join us. Let's welcome in. Jerry, Jerry, you're on 494 00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.519 Sports Talk seven ninety. What's up, Hey, Nick, want to talk 495 00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.039 to yo L basketball first? Uh. Actually actually reached down to Eric Crawford 496 00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:26.559 the other day and have a subtle, you know, back and forth with 497 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.559 him on emails. He's nice to me, and and and I said, 498 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:34.039 Hey, is there any chance that that's going to be televised? And he 499 00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:37.839 expressed doubt. He hasn't said that it's one hundred percent out, but I 500 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:42.599 was hoping it would be televised, you know, and and and you know, 501 00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:45.559 maybe radio or whatever. But at the end of the day, I 502 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:49.319 hope somehow or another the footage ends up on YouTube at least, because I'm 503 00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:52.599 like you, I'm chomping at the bit to see something of this team. 504 00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:57.599 I do have a question for you from a from a negative perspective, I 505 00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:02.920 think the trip. That only negative thing I see about the trip is say 506 00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:06.319 you're the last gal off the bench, and you think, well, hell, 507 00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:07.680 he's showing his hand. I'm not gonna play. I'm out of here. 508 00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:11.240 I mean, I could see that happening in today's basketball world, yes 509 00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.279 or no. Yeah, it sounds it sounds, you know, far fetched, 510 00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:18.880 but it really isn't given the climate currently with players, and it's a 511 00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:22.079 When you said that, it reminded me of what Lane Kiffin did during spring 512 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:25.839 ball, where he did not give any depth chart, he didn't get any 513 00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:27.799 reps for any like. He made it quite clear these guys weren't gonna really 514 00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:30.440 know where they stood because he didn't want them up and leaving, which Louisville 515 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.079 dealt with that. They had guys that, you know, for I'm sure 516 00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:36.240 other reasons too, but you know, they got to see where they were 517 00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:40.960 and they bailed. So yeah, I hadn't thought of that. Yeah. 518 00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.839 Okay, So another thing too, talking about Pope flying coach. I'm with 519 00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.079 you, that's all good and well, and he's a man of the people 520 00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:51.240 as long as he wins, yep. But if he loses, they're gonna 521 00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:53.960 they're gonna pick that apart back to them again. Don't like to talk that 522 00:31:55.039 --> 00:32:01.640 program much, but the Arkansas Kentucky thing Pain getting on the staff ruined the 523 00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:06.079 whole thing for me as a Louisville fan, you know, because I was 524 00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:09.440 really looking forward to to Caliperry going there and coming back and whipping them. 525 00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:13.079 And I thought it had been funny. But once Pain was a part of 526 00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:15.440 it, I guess now I can't lose. Whoever loses, it's good. 527 00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:20.119 It's good either way, you know what I mean. But I was really 528 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:22.160 hopeful. I was really gonna have fun with it, you know. But 529 00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:25.240 when Pain went on the staff, I said, oh man, that sucks 530 00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:29.319 now. Now did you see you was talking about the board meetings, you 531 00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:32.640 see where he's gonna receive two hundred and twenty grand a month for like a 532 00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:37.000 long time, you know, and it's crazy. Yeah, And real quick 533 00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:43.200 about soccer, I got a story for you. Okay. Years ago, 534 00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:47.160 Adam Lefkole was at Whas and he came on his like six o'clock news, 535 00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:51.119 you know, at six point twenty, and he threw out a bunch of 536 00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:55.759 soccer scores from overseas, Manchester City and all that stuff. And I called 537 00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:59.920 him and left him a message. Of course, he was in between sick, 538 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:04.160 he in between his six pm and his eleven PM show, and I'm 539 00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:06.559 like, I'm like, you know, in a nice way, I'm like 540 00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:08.119 giving him hell, I said, give me a call man. I said, 541 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:12.559 you don't know this town. Blah blah blah. He calls me and 542 00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:15.119 he and we went back and forth and he thought it was so funny. 543 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:16.839 And he goes, you watch eleven o'clock to night. Jerry, I'm gonna 544 00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:20.880 give you a shout out. And I forget how he got it. That 545 00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.720 sounds just like left goo. He sounds He's a good dude. Okay, 546 00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:31.319 I will say this real quick. Uh when I when I look at soccer, 547 00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:34.559 I sort of look at it like Rick Patino. You just talking about 548 00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.039 our Michael Wafe society. I think that's the problem. So they don't score 549 00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:40.319 enough. There's not enough action, you know. I mean, Jerry, 550 00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:45.359 there's a really really good there's a really really good and I appreciate the call. 551 00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:46.400 Brother, good to hear from you. There's a really good clip that 552 00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:49.359 I need to dig up, and I may do it. I may dig 553 00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.359 this clip up, maybe even today, just because of the timing. And 554 00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:54.119 I thought, you know, I don't know if it'll ever be relevant. 555 00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:58.359 But it's Michael, not Michael Wilbaum, but Tony Corneiser. Get those two. 556 00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:00.119 I mean, I know who each of them are, but of Krnheiser. 557 00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:05.480 It was shortly after he left radio he got into doing his own podcast, 558 00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:09.920 and he gave I thought the best discretion. I felt like he was 559 00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:13.639 speaking for me, and obviously he can speak a lot better than me, 560 00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:19.320 even for me when it comes to sort of why soccer has never really fully 561 00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:23.480 taken off like other sports around here. And I just thought it was really 562 00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:27.800 well done. And I may dig that up because I think if you're somebody 563 00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:32.599 like me who is in that same boat, it's very well put us to 564 00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:37.000 what's kept you from really just latching onto a sport that again is the most 565 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.119 popular sport on the planet. But if you're somebody that is a snob of 566 00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:44.360 soccer, I thought Kornheiser did a good job of kind of making it to 567 00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:45.360 well, Okay, yeah, you know, I get it makes sense, 568 00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:47.760 like we probably could do a little better as far you know, like I 569 00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:52.199 get it, like it makes sense as to why maybe around here in America, 570 00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:55.400 what we've become really really used to with the sports that are popular and 571 00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:59.239 the culture that comes with it and the competitiveness, the action, like it's 572 00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:02.599 just different. But yeah, so I got to know Adam left COO and 573 00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:06.360 I still know him. I just you know, I know now now when 574 00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:08.760 I see Adam Leftko, it's me scrolling TikTok or Instagram and he's doing a 575 00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:14.800 show with Charles Barkley or Shaquille O'Neil or Duwayne Wade like left co h. 576 00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:19.400 You know, my guy blew up in a major way. He's super talented. 577 00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:22.360 But when he was here at Louisville at WJS WHS eleven, uh, 578 00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:25.239 he you know. And by the way, I always thought it Leftko before 579 00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:27.880 I got to know him a little bit. I thought he was like four 580 00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:29.880 or five years older than me. I think he's a year younger than me, 581 00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:31.480 which blew my mind, really made me feel old. But nonetheless, 582 00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:37.719 you know, he really he really enjoyed hearing from like listeners like he wasn't 583 00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:42.760 something he wasn't somebody that would be bothered that, you know, a caller 584 00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:45.400 would would leave him a message saying, Hey, what the hell you're doing 585 00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:51.159 talking about soccer you're in Louisville. He would think that was funny. And 586 00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:52.920 I can literally, you know, hearing from Jerry over the years on this 587 00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:55.639 show and knowing Adam a little bit like I can, I can, I 588 00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:00.400 could, I could picture myself being a fly on the wall when he's getting 589 00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:02.960 Jerry's voicemail and he calls him back and they're going back and forth. And 590 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:07.320 in fact, you know, if Left Coast telling the story about a guy 591 00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:12.239 calling angry because he didn't know anything about this market talking soccer what he had 592 00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:15.159 doing, and then I later found out it was Jerry Loyal, Jerry who 593 00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:17.760 calls this show, I would be like, absolutely, it was Jerry, 594 00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:21.920 of course it was. And I say that as a comple You know, 595 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.599 Jerry is somebody who you know, he's going to tell you what he thinks. 596 00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:28.079 He's going to share this on his opinion, and you know, I 597 00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:30.960 think that's the way. There's what everybody should do. So good stuff, 598 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:34.480 All right, quick break, we'll come back on the other side. And 599 00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:40.280 every now and then, man, the Internet just gives us comedy that a 600 00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:45.480 lot of people pre Internet were deprived of. And every now and then there's 601 00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:51.719 something that just completely takes over the Internet that if you had told somebody it 602 00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:53.960 was going to happen before it happened, they'd never believe you. And that's 603 00:36:54.000 --> 00:37:00.199 hawktuah, we'll talk about that next. That's right, we're back. I 604 00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:02.519 mean, the show was here, but I wasn't here, so I'm back. 605 00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:06.480 It's coffee and company. We are feeled about Thornton's here on Sports Talk 606 00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:09.519 seven ninety big shout out to my friends over at the Louisville Men's Clinic, 607 00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:14.239 Fellas. They've helped me and they can help you. Maybe it's a rectilitys 608 00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:20.039 function, maybe it's low testosterone. Maybe you want to lose weight, maybe 609 00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:22.920 you want hair restoration. There's a lot of different services they provide at the 610 00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:28.360 Loible Men's Clinic, and you may not even realize that you could be a 611 00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:31.239 lot healthier, a lot happier in your life. You know, low testosterone 612 00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:35.480 is something I know that for me, I didn't really know what it was, 613 00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:40.039 and then I heard how common it was for someone to be in my 614 00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:45.519 situation not even realize that the reason they feel like they've lost their edge in 615 00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:49.719 the gym and they're lethargic and just very tired in the middle of the day 616 00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:52.000 or even you know, feeling like you can't stay awake past eight o'clock. 617 00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:55.840 I mean, it's low testosterone. So I thought, well, maybe that's 618 00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:58.960 me. And I wasn't to that extreme, right, I mean, it 619 00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:00.760 wasn't as if I was falling sleep all the time, and I was relatively 620 00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:02.960 good health, but I just felt like there was something missing, and there 621 00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:07.639 was there was not enough tea. My testosterone was low, but not anymore 622 00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:10.960 because Woiveman's Clinic has helped me in a major way. Give them a call, 623 00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:15.599 FABU two four four four four thousand. Check them out online at Louisville 624 00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:20.760 Men's Clinic dot com. All right, so, you know, I find 625 00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.679 myself wasting a lot of time, unfortunately on the app that is TikTok, 626 00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:28.599 which I really hope they never get rid of it, but you know, 627 00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:30.960 sounds like maybe that could happen. I don't keep up with that, but 628 00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:37.800 I'd probably have a lot more time to be productive if I didn't have TikTok 629 00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.760 to just get lost in sometimes. But I saw this on TikTok, I 630 00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:44.920 don't know when, and I saw that it became a bigger deal. But 631 00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:50.159 I had no expectation for this to become really one of the most talked about 632 00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:53.119 things on the planet, seemingly. And that is a girl who I think 633 00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:55.880 has been identified. I don't know her name, but her name is Haley 634 00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:59.800 welch Okay. And there was a report that she got fired from her job. 635 00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:02.440 That's another one of the many, many things people just see and believe 636 00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:07.639 on the Internet without any legitimate reporting of it, not even I mean, 637 00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:15.599 it's just it's crazy where we are with the Internet, and it's so valuable 638 00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:20.920 to us. I can't imagine life without it. But how do we get 639 00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:27.280 so gullible? Like a Rando could have tweeted Haley Welch gets fired for you 640 00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:31.280 know, the hawk Tua comment that's gone viral and there could be no link, 641 00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:37.480 there could be no legitimate source. It's just a Rando dude on Twitter 642 00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:43.400 tweeting it and people will share it as if you know, it could have 643 00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:49.360 a million retweets, and everybody just gets lost in believing that it's true without 644 00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:52.000 any thought that it could be made up. I don't know. I hate 645 00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:55.599 to think that we should just always assume something's fake until we do some vetting 646 00:39:55.639 --> 00:39:59.360 of our own, but I think that's what we need to do. But 647 00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:02.000 anyways, I'll let you guys hear the clip and if look, if you're 648 00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:05.800 somebody that doesn't know what I'm talking about, you haven't seen it, you 649 00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:08.760 don't know, I mean, didn't look. That's like that that's honestly shout 650 00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:12.519 out to you because you're not getting you know, lost in the weeds here 651 00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:15.400 on the internet. And I don't even really know what what fascinates me about 652 00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:17.519 these kind of things. I'm not really sure what makes it so funny. 653 00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:22.079 I mean, she's a super attractive girl in her u. Answering this question 654 00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:25.679 the way she did made her even more of a of a dream type scenario 655 00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:30.320 for a lot of men out there. But here it is, what's one 656 00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:34.280 move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time? Oh, you 657 00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:38.400 gotta give him that houck dude spent on that night here. So I think 658 00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:44.199 most people listening will know what that means. And if not, I'm not 659 00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:45.920 going to explain it to you. You can either look it up yourself or 660 00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:51.840 maybe just you know, not be interested your call. But what do you 661 00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:53.719 make of it? John? I mean, how does something like that turn 662 00:40:53.800 --> 00:41:00.800 into this to where like Bryce Harper? Bryce Harper, was it midweek last 663 00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:04.440 week or maybe over the weekend? You know, he got a he made 664 00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:07.559 a big play and then he's doing the hawk Tua spit on something and you 665 00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:13.239 know there's there's these hockey fans that are at the Oilers game, and they 666 00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:17.599 got custom oilers jerseys that say number twenty four and then on on the last 667 00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:22.559 name, it says hawk Tua. Like I asked myself the same questions. 668 00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:27.000 And this may be, this may be way out of line, maybe or 669 00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:29.559 maybe he's incorrect, but I think there's a bunch, just a bunch of 670 00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:31.320 horned up dudes on the internet. Yeah, that's true. I mean, 671 00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:37.159 and you get you get one horned up dude with enough exposure and some something 672 00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:39.159 like this can go viral. Yeah, And what's crazy, I mean because 673 00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:45.360 what she says specifically isn't funny, but you know, dudes aren't hearing it 674 00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:49.719 thinking, oh man, she's so funny. They're thinking, oh hell yeah, 675 00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:52.039 Like that's you know what I'm saying, Like, that's that's the mindset. 676 00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:57.000 So I mean, I know why it is. It is, you 677 00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:00.800 know, popular, and it shared because again, like she just in a 678 00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:06.360 matter of what four seconds there used every bit of that time to get you 679 00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:08.719 know, the internet horned up. Like that's what she did. And she 680 00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:12.559 see like she's got a look to her to where she's clearly very attractive, 681 00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:15.519 but she also kind of looks and she looks we know she's not famous she 682 00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:17.000 is now, but she wasn't then, So like there's a level of like 683 00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:22.440 maybe a potential relatability, Like she's still out of out of like ninety nine 684 00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:25.400 point nine percent of Americans leagues as far as far as dudes. But because 685 00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:29.840 she's not you know, on stage at you know, an award show or 686 00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:31.480 on the red carpet in Hollywood, Like there's a level of like, hell, 687 00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:34.840 yeah, I need one of these, one of these kind of women. 688 00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:37.960 But I mean, I mean just something like, for example, there's 689 00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:40.840 a picture here of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky and it says the og hawk 690 00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:46.840 to a girl. I mean, like it's like there's the old Nintendo console 691 00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:51.280 with a cartridge game and when your game wouldn't start, and it's just a 692 00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:53.760 picture of somebody who's photoshopped one of those games in front of her face doing 693 00:42:53.800 --> 00:42:55.880 the you know hawk, you know hawk to a spin on it kind of 694 00:42:55.880 --> 00:43:01.840 thing, And it's the Internet is really the Internet exists for a variety of 695 00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:06.480 really valuable and important reasons. This is not one of them. But every 696 00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:08.960 now and then, like I feel like we all collectively share the same sense 697 00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:13.880 of humor. I know, that's a clip we'll take a video a long 698 00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:15.960 way. It gives me a sense of like, were we all kind of 699 00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:19.519 in a moment here share the same sense of humor? Now, I know 700 00:43:19.519 --> 00:43:22.159 that's not true because there's a lot of people, including some listening right now, 701 00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:23.000 that think this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. What the hell 702 00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:27.639 they're talking about? But if you know, you know, and you know, 703 00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:30.519 like there's I'm sure you've seen some of the memes where it shows a 704 00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:36.280 you know, two people in bed together, a husband and wife, and 705 00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:38.480 they both have their back turned to each other, and it's like her, 706 00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:43.920 I bet he's thinking about other women and then him. You know this this 707 00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:47.119 meme says, should I ask her to talk to like? It's you know, 708 00:43:47.159 --> 00:43:51.559 it's just like it's funny. I don't know why it's funny, you 709 00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:57.280 know, but if she wasn't that attractive, this would have never blown up, 710 00:43:57.360 --> 00:44:00.000 right, correct, it would have never blown up. And she's probably 711 00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:02.760 it's just gonna change her life. Some say that low T is now low 712 00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:07.679 Tua low Tua huh, low Tua well checked out of Yeah, I can 713 00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:10.840 say you don't want to have the low T if you find yourself a Hawktua 714 00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:14.639 girl that's for sure, right absolutely. Let's say it's more you know, 715 00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:16.519 ed, but both right, you know, just make sure the T is 716 00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:21.000 correct and ed is not an issue if you if you happen to encounter one 717 00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:22.760 of the Hawk Tuas out there, I'm sure there's plenty more than just her, 718 00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:25.440 but she is now going to be known as that, whether she likes 719 00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:28.760 it or not. All right, two hours left. Stick with us right 720 00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:34.519 here, it's coffee and company. Ifel bet Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety
