WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:08.880 It's time for coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety 2 00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:12.679 Holy crap, I don't know who the hell we think we are get off 3 00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.320 our show, idiots. The kids are crying or turn them off. The 4 00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.960 countries are screwing it up. Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother, gold Play 5 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.000 Inn Murals. They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not. 6 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.519 Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you kidding me? 7 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:46.759 Now? Here's Nick coffee. You know, I rarely ever looked down at 8 00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.719 the level here on Mike one because that's the microphone I use here in the 9 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:55.359 studio, because it's usually in the same exact spot. But I did look 10 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.439 down just a moment ago, and I'm glad I did, because it was 11 00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:00.600 at the very top, John, which means had I not made the proper 12 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:06.239 adjustment, we would have started the show sounding as if I was swallowing the 13 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.640 microphone like it was. You know, I was digesting it because you know, 14 00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.560 that wouldn't be good. But there shouldn't be a single soul who needs 15 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.920 to have the microphone all the way at the top. Yeah, that's a 16 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.640 good point. Although you know I listen to. I haven't listened in a 17 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.560 while, but when I listened to Shannon on KSR, because Shannon does KSR 18 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:26.959 well, actually does he? I guess he doesn't. He does the pre 19 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:32.120 show from here right, Yes, he does KSR from from where I'm at? 20 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.120 Gotcha? Okay? That makes more sense because when I hear him on 21 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.680 on KSR and I and when I I guess I'll have to listen to the 22 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:42.239 pre because Shannon usually leaves it louder than I usually do, like, has 23 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.079 the volume up higher. It's never at the very top. But when I 24 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.879 hear him, I never feel like he sounds like he you know, like 25 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.760 overmodulator that he's yelling. Maybe maybe because at times he can be soft spoken. 26 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.079 He's got to save that singing voice. He's a big singer now with 27 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.079 the Alice bluegown, so maybe that's what he's doing. You know, he's 28 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.120 just turning the levels up really high, talking song. That way he can 29 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.760 conserve the voice for when he does all these big gigs. So yeah, 30 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.240 shout out Shannon the dude an Alice bluegown. Anyways, let's get it started. 31 00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:12.080 Shall we at as hot as hell outside on a Tuesday Coffee and Company 32 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.479 that's us. We are fueled by Thornton's by name's Nick Coffee, the company 33 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.080 man John alongside today. Are you ready to rock and roll? I'm ready. 34 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:19.800 Are you ready or are you just ready to get out of here cause 35 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.439 you got vacation next week? My man? No, But here's the thing. 36 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.000 I think. The week before vacation can bring one of two things. 37 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:30.520 You're either super anxious and you can barely get any work done, or it 38 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.520 makes the week better because you know that next week you don't have to worry 39 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.560 about anything. Yeah, or maybe it's a combination of the two. Usually 40 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.120 for me, it's a combination of the two. I feel like I've recently 41 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.599 kind of I've lost my travel anxiety. I used to just get really anxious 42 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.520 and think like, why would you be going on this trip? What are 43 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.840 you doing? And you know that's just my mind getting in the way at 44 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.840 times. But recently, like when I was getting ready to get out of 45 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.680 here for our trip to Florida, even when I had taken some days off 46 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.680 on Derby week, like I get slap happy and really, you know, 47 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.120 less productive, which isn't good. But you'd never do that because you're the 48 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.439 company man. You're never gonna not give it. You're all here for the 49 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.960 company that is. iHeartMedia and that's why you are. That's why you are 50 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:14.599 the best. Are you like today? Like outside? How long you've been 51 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.599 outside? Like just from house to vehicle, from vehicle to work, Like, 52 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.319 probably not outside very much right, not today? No, the hotness 53 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.319 and the mugginess is it's not an all time high, but it's at a 54 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.919 high for the year so far. I feel like it's just gross. It's 55 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:35.400 hot ninety degrees and it's humid, and today was the day for me where 56 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:37.719 I'm like, well, here we go. We got, you know, 57 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:43.800 probably three months of this and you know it's gonna suck. Summer is great 58 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.759 for a variety of reasons. And I'm well aware that I am in the 59 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:51.599 minority. I am someone that would prefer cold weather rather than hot weather. 60 00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.280 It's not that I hate hot weather. I mean I actually I do today's 61 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.560 weather. I don't like, like, if I'm going to be outside today 62 00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.400 voluntarily, I need to be in shade with you know, beers just ready 63 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:04.560 at every five minutes while I throw them down the neck, or I need 64 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:09.680 to be in a pool like that's just because it again everybody's got their own 65 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:15.839 preferences, their own you know, everybody's different, and I know that I'm 66 00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:18.000 a weak man in a variety of things, but I'm weak when it comes 67 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:23.040 to heat. Like anybody just outside like voluntarily today because they want to be 68 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.800 and not like, you know, I just I get more than anything. 69 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.560 Salute to you for being tough, being a badass and being able to like 70 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.279 deal with that because I don't. I mean, it's just it's gonna get 71 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.160 hotter. Trust me, I'm aware. It's like ninety degrees right now. 72 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.240 I'm sure the heat in decks makes it hotter, but like the summer months 73 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.279 are coming, and I just don't, I you know, I don't. 74 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.959 I don't know how people enjoy this. But again, everybody's different, and 75 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:51.079 I think I'm a little bit more mindful of the heat right now because of 76 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.759 last night. The air conditioning in my house was not working, and that 77 00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.879 was like the ultimate like uh oh uh oh, and this is the worst 78 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:05.000 I had to have. So we got home from dinner with some friends after 79 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.600 Moosa's baseball game. We went and got dinner with some friends, came home 80 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:14.560 and the AC was set on sixty nine and it was seventy seven in the 81 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.199 house, so you know that's not good. I was at the house before 82 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:24.160 I left for work, probably until like two o'clock yesterday, and the weather 83 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:28.879 was and the temperature was fine, like it wasn't so at some point it 84 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.480 just stopped working, but it wasn't like completely dead. Here's what happened. 85 00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.600 It ended up freezing up. I don't know if you've ever had that happen 86 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:39.360 before. And I'm with the free on or something like that. So we 87 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.560 hadn't changed our filter in a long time. Okay, so we think that's 88 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.680 what did it. So my wife changed the filter and we turned it off 89 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.000 for a little while and then slowly but surely, like it's now working. 90 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:56.800 And I'm just keeping it at like seventy one and I might turn it to 91 00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.800 like sixty eight when I get home to night, because I want to be 92 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:00.199 comfortable and cool. But I'm a little worried that like it's gonna happen again, 93 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.199 and if so, then there's no biggie. I'm gonna reach out to 94 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.839 my friends at DF They'll get me situated and we'll be good to go. 95 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:12.319 But like last night, it's not realistic to expect or even like request someone 96 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.839 come to your home at nine o'clock at night to fix your AC. So 97 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.240 I told my wife, like, hey, let's go get a hotel room. 98 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:24.480 She thought I was a crazy person, and I'm thinking, like why, 99 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.120 like what, why do you Why wouldn't we She's like, well, 100 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.879 it's not that bad in here, and she said it's colder downstairs, which 101 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.480 is true. But at that point, I didn't know if it was going 102 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.040 to kick back on, like we didn't know. I just I knew there 103 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.480 was a good chance I was not going to have AC last night in my 104 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.279 home or tomorrow in the morning. And my first instinct was, Okay, 105 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.360 we're gonna go stay somewhere like hotel or in fact, my brother in law 106 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.120 he's at Disney, so like we go to his house. And she thought 107 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:53.639 I was being completely just ridiculous. And I don't think that's that crazy, 108 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.079 right, I mean, when like I was going to take her to the 109 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.160 Omni with the kids, like you know, I was gonna you know, 110 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.680 there's there's some de I just I will if. I I mean, the 111 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:05.000 last thing I want to do is be hot and uncomfortable. Yes, I 112 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.319 give neighbors down the street when our AC's been out, we've stayed at their 113 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.000 place before. Yeah, I mean, and again, everybody's different. My 114 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.720 stepfather one of the best men you'll ever meet. If he didn't live with 115 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.120 my mother, I don't think he would have AC in his home. And 116 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:21.199 he has a beautiful, huge home that you know, we mooch off all 117 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.560 the time because he's got a nice, big pool set up and he's got 118 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:28.480 a butt. I mean, he's but he's just someone that has his whole 119 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.839 life like it could be one hundred and twenty outside. He may walk outside 120 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.920 and it won't even register to him that it's very hot, because it's just 121 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.839 he's you know, he's built different, right, He's tough. He's tough. 122 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.439 I'm not. I don't you know. If I if I can not 123 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.680 be hot and uncomfortable, I'm gonna not be hot and uncomfortable. And you 124 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.560 know, the more I think about it, the more I'm like, you 125 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:53.439 know, I'm sure nobody enjoys being miserable and just sweating their ass off, 126 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.360 Like that's not fun for anybody, unless you know you're doing something fun to 127 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:00.399 distract you from how hot it is, right, like a concert or a 128 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:01.959 ball game or a party or something like that, or if you're in the 129 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.680 pool, like that's clearly going to distract you, or the beach. The 130 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.720 breeze from a beach makes it to where the heat outside really is that bad. 131 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.399 It's actually one of the I mean, that's one benefit of the beach. 132 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.319 Like you can be at the beach and be near the water, not 133 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:16.920 in it, and you're probably not going to sweat your ear end off because 134 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.720 there's you know, there's enough air coming your way to where it's not that 135 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.040 bad. But she told me you should ask your audience. Would they have 136 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.279 taken the same reaction that you did thinking the ac was out that because it 137 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.320 was seventy seven, seventy eight degrees in the home, that we were just 138 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.519 going to go get a hotel or go stay somewhere else. And I'm like, 139 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.960 first of all, I don't care what they would do, but I 140 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.120 don't think I'm like alone here. And look, I'm not a diva. 141 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.240 I mean, I'm not like a pamper like I. You know again, 142 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.960 I'm from Bullet County. Let's be real here. It's not like I grew 143 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.440 up with a silver spoon and you know, the you know, the fancy 144 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.519 life. I wasn't in poverty. Again, to quote the Great Saw your 145 00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.159 brown great band, I ain't first class when I am white trash closer to 146 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.159 white trash. Though, if I'm being honest with you, we're just gonna 147 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:07.279 be real here. But again, I need, I need to develop some 148 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.840 some tolerance to this heat because it's just not good. And I get I 149 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:18.039 get snappy, I get irritable, I get mean, not mean, but 150 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.600 like, just you know, there's nothing worse to me than being hot and 151 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.679 uncomfortable. Well, what about the other into things like is your wife, 152 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.440 like, is she very cold nature? Does she hate the cold weather and 153 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.000 needs the heat on on? You know, seventy five in the middle of 154 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.879 winter kind of thing? She hates the winter? Yeah, I mean I 155 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.000 think she likes things that come with it. But like, yeah, I 156 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.559 mean, she and I are total opposites. She would be fine if it 157 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.759 was one hundred degrees outside every day, whereas you know, it could never 158 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:45.840 be one hundred degrees anywhere I am for the rest of my life, and 159 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:50.720 I'd be fine with that. So we are different. But right now, 160 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:56.039 fingers crossed, the ac was still working. And again, if it doesn't 161 00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.240 work, I'm sure we'll get it, We'll get it fixed. But yeah, 162 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.279 today's Today was the first day where it hit me and I'm thinking, 163 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.639 okay, well here it is, like we're probably going to be in this 164 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:11.440 range a little bit cooler. The end of the week actually looks good for 165 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.120 this week, Like I think there's some rain coming in tonight, and then 166 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.679 I think Thursday and Friday looks pretty nice. Well good. I hope that's 167 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.240 the case. All right. Look, if you guys want to take us 168 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.519 with you wherever you go throughout these next two hours and fifty minutes, you 169 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.120 can do that by listening live on the out Radio app listening live at seven 170 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.320 ninety Louisville dot com. You can be a part of the show too, 171 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.159 if you'd like. Five two five seven one seventy nine hundred is the number. 172 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.320 If you want to give us a call, you can text in on 173 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.679 the lln N Federal Credit Union text line at five O two sixty five three 174 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.279 zero seven ninety. Since my return from vacation, I do feel as if 175 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.080 maybe the show hasn't been as interactive. Uh. Text line usually takes a 176 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.639 little bit to get back rolling once I've returned from vacation, but the phone 177 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.840 lines that's really just on me. In fact, sometimes you guys call and 178 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.919 they're on hold and I just never even look at the call screen, you 179 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.159 know, or I just you know, completely forget to you know, like, 180 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.200 let you guys know, hey, we're taking calls, which, by 181 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:09.320 the way, you can always call, but you just got to keep up 182 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.240 with where we are, right like, you know, don't call in and 183 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.639 turn it into a show about you know, something that you wouldn't you know 184 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.120 that it wouldn't really fit with what we do here. But then again, 185 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.080 maybe if you like sometimes somebody could do that and it might actually be brilliant. 186 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:24.279 So look, we'll be open minded. But just again, disclaimer, 187 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:31.240 if you call and instead of hearing the beautiful, sultry voice of the company 188 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.960 man John Alden, you just start hearing us talking, that means that you're 189 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.799 just we'll get John will get to you once we either you know, stop 190 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.440 conversing ourselves or when we go to break, So just you know, be 191 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:46.399 aware of that. All right, I think I'm gonna do it, John. 192 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.919 I think I'm going to start the show today talking about the WNBA Oh 193 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.639 boy, would we go? We talked about it yesterday, but it wasn't 194 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.120 you know, it wasn't what I started with. It was, you know, 195 00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.240 something that we ended up discussing, and it's still I think continues to 196 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.639 be the most talked about thing in sports among you know, college baseball is 197 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:09.159 getting some run right now because of the postseason in the NBA Finals will start, 198 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:15.000 I believe on Thursday. There's actually another gambling scandal that I thought to 199 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.519 myself should be bigger news. But then again, you know, I don't 200 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.600 think people are surprised that athletes, college and even pro are getting in trouble 201 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:28.879 because they're betting on sports now that it has become not only easier and legal 202 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.039 to do, but it's everywhere like it's I mean, these leagues at the 203 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.799 professional level, baseball, basketball, football, they're all in bed with these 204 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:41.799 sports books. So it's not a good thing, and you certainly have to 205 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:45.120 make examples out of people, but the shock value is not there, and 206 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.480 I get it. And we got to talk about Scotti Scheffler because he talked 207 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.480 today for the first time since his arrest here in Louisville, and I feel 208 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.919 bad for the guy. I mean, look, he'll be he'll be fine. 209 00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.480 And I think everything that's played out since his arrest makes it look as 210 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:03.639 if he is really the guy everybody thinks he is. In LMPD and in 211 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.759 the city of Louisville. Unfortunately are the ones who look bad here. But 212 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.120 you know, hearing him talk about it, like again, charges dropped. 213 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.639 I don't think people think he's a bad guy because of it. But you 214 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.000 know, the mug shot, like that was something he mentioned. We'll play 215 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.960 some sound from his press conference. But having a mug shot exists that, 216 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.240 like, you know, clearly people are having fun with it. Right if 217 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.720 people are wearing a Scotti Sheffler shirt that has a picture of his mugshot on 218 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.320 it, they're not doing it to make fun of it or make fun of 219 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.240 him. They're doing it because they're like, hell, yeah, that's our 220 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.320 guy, Like they're not, you know so, But still like having a 221 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.080 mug shot exist for the whole world to see when you, in fact, 222 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:46.480 you know, are guilty of really just a misunderstanding and it not needing to 223 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:52.200 happen like that sucks. That sucks. But he didn't say Louisville. He 224 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.639 said Louisville. And we'll let you guys hear it, because I've got a 225 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.600 question about that. I have a hard time thinking that that was not intentional. 226 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.080 I'm not offended, right, I mean, wouldn't be a shock if 227 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.559 somebody else had this happen to them and they never mentioned the name of this 228 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:09.559 place again, or didn't you know, didn't you know, choose to bypass 229 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.840 a lawsuit. But anyways, we're loaded the rest of the way. But 230 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.240 again, WNBA real quick here, because I what I've actually enjoyed, just 231 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.440 me right, you know, I know some people don't care and you don't 232 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.360 seek out, you know, the opinions of those that have the national platforms. 233 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.600 But I listened to Jim Rome yesterday a little bit and I heard his 234 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.960 thoughts on it, and then I heard him once again today kind of revisited 235 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:37.639 after Ael Angel Reese has you know, kind of in my opinion, made 236 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:43.480 things worse for herself. But Michael Wilbon, who of course I think a 237 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.960 lot of you know, from from part of the interruption, you know, 238 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:50.080 I thought he had some very strong In fact, him and Tony Kornheiser both 239 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.720 had some really strong thoughts on it that like this conversation is I you know, 240 00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:01.120 unfortunately, I think there are some that just before even real put it 241 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:07.919 this way, there are some that will not see what Kennedy Chandler did or 242 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:13.440 what even Angel Angel Reese did. And let's just say it happens again tomorrow 243 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:18.559 whenever they play again the Indiana the Indie fever. Like, there are some 244 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.480 that won't need to see if somebody, you know takes a swing at Caitlin 245 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:28.000 Clark and knocks her out right, they'll just automatically side with whoever did it 246 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:33.879 and paint Caitlin Clark as somebody who had it coming. And there are others 247 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:39.240 who you know, will just claim that, you know, the WNBA players 248 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.039 are all the worst, and by the way, I side with that, 249 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.440 not that I think they're all the worst, but like again, I talked 250 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:48.240 about it yesterday and my thoughts really haven't changed since then. The WNBA's reaction, 251 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.960 meaning some of the players, and I think everybody from top to bottom, 252 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.000 even her own players, you know, even her coach. This just 253 00:15:54.039 --> 00:16:00.600 screams of jealousy, which is the worst human emotion to be to be caught 254 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.399 up in, right, it happens, but to wear it and be so 255 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.279 to let your jealousy create these kind of things, these kind of situations, 256 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.879 I mean, it's such a sad look for for those that are doing that, 257 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.960 including you know, including Angel Angel Reese and Kennedy Chandler, and then 258 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:22.559 the you know in others, who are you know, just applauding anybody who 259 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.840 decides to just take a cheap shot at Caitlin Clark. But I I know 260 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:32.279 it. I'll put it this way, if this entire thing, you know, 261 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:37.320 Caitlin Clark getting bullied, is this strategic move to keep the w NBA 262 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.879 in the in the you know, in the news wire right, you know, 263 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:48.080 as a as a conversation that is taking place nationally. I mean, 264 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.240 well done if that's the case. I mean, I have a hard time 265 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:53.639 believing that. Maybe I'm you know, naive. I just have a hard 266 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.639 time thinking that, you know, that they would want this to happen, 267 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.039 and it begain deep down, I don't think that it's that it's all planned. 268 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:06.599 However, the ratings are all time high because of this. Now they 269 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:10.920 would have been high because of Kaitlyn Clark regardless. But you know, like 270 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.559 at the end of the day, this shouldn't happen. And I'm sure at 271 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.160 least I choose to believe that somebody, whoever it is that's in charge of 272 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.960 the WNBA, whoever the commissioner is, who's been you know, invisible. 273 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.079 This is a good thing at the root of it, meaning like there's more 274 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:30.839 attention on your league more than ever. Now. Some may say, well, 275 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.400 I'm never watching again because they're picking on Caitlyn Clark, or I'm never 276 00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.960 watching again because all they do is make it to the Kaitlin Clark League. 277 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.559 So again, people have their own opinions on it. But again I think 278 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:47.920 it all just it's it's it's jealousy, I really do. And to hear 279 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:49.920 Caitlyn Clark. I mean, here's where I feel like, let's start with 280 00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.960 Katon Clark again. You all know what I think of her. I find 281 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.119 her to be rather unlikable as a player, but I also know that she's 282 00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:02.279 a phenomenal talent, one of the best maybe ever. And you know, 283 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:04.079 that doesn't mean she's a bad person. It doesn't mean she deserves to be, 284 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.839 you know, for the things that kind of turned me off about her 285 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.960 as a player, with how she carries herself, how she acts around teammates 286 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.240 and referees and things like that, that doesn't mean she's a bad person and 287 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:18.839 it doesn't mean she deserves to be. You know headhunted out there at times, 288 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:23.240 so I don't, you know, I'm not I'm not here to defend 289 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:27.720 her. But she's not at all complaining, right, Like she's not using 290 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:33.640 this as a chance to like, you know, play the victim. And 291 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:41.720 what I think is sad and I mean this when it comes to Angel Reese, 292 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.160 I think she's lost. I don't. I think she has an identity 293 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:51.200 crisis. I think she's jealous, and I don't think she knows what she 294 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.640 wants to do. Does she want to be the victim and claim that she's 295 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:57.720 she's targeted for you know reasons? I don't. I mean, you know, 296 00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:02.759 does she want to play victim and act like everybody's ganging up on her 297 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.119 and act like the whole world loves Caitlyn Clark and because of that they hate 298 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.240 her, which is not true. I think some people who have their opinion 299 00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:11.880 of Angel Rees have it for their own reason, and I think it's good 300 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.160 reason. That's not saying that I think she's the worst, but like, 301 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.680 let's be real, like she's she showed her ass the other day, like 302 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.400 the way she acted about that whole thing and then wouldn't come out and talk 303 00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:25.200 about it, like you're that's not a professional, that's a child. And 304 00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:27.799 you know, it's hard for people to if that. If that one instance 305 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:32.440 is is what someone's going to use to make their opinion of you, it's 306 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.279 probably not gonna be a very good opinion. So does she want to play 307 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:38.680 victim or does she want to be the villain? Which one is it? 308 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:44.359 You can't do both because if you're the villain, then you're gonna want the 309 00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.960 heat. You're gonna want people, you know, hating you, and you 310 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.039 clearly don't want that because you play victim too much. Like which one is 311 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.839 it? Right? Like she's she's not consistent, and many have made the 312 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:04.440 comparisons that she's Draymond Nope, Draymond Green. What you see is what you 313 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:08.720 get. He ain't playing victim. He's not Draymond Green's not you know, 314 00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:15.160 not acting as if you know the league's out to get him. I mean, 315 00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:19.240 I can't stand Draymond Green. He's a true villain. And you know 316 00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:22.720 what, as much as I can't stand him, you know why, it's 317 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.440 because he's a damn good villain. He's one of the most easily hateable players 318 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.599 that ever played the game. Now again, hating his on court antics and 319 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.799 his the things he says, the way he carries himself doesn't mean you don't 320 00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:37.039 respect him as a player. Now, I don't think he would have much 321 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.119 of an NBA career if it wasn't for the time and situation. But still, 322 00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:44.240 he executed a specific role that Golden State needed and he helped them, 323 00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:48.119 like I think he, you know, wouldn't. I think his his career 324 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.480 would be totally different if he didn't end up aligning the way he did in 325 00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:55.000 Golden State. But like I respect Draymond to an extent. You know, 326 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.079 I think he's a dirty player, but like he's a great villain and sports 327 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:03.519 needs villain. It makes things better, right, Like this is all entertainment 328 00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.039 and drama. But Angel Reese, if you want to be the villain, 329 00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:08.880 you're not built for it because you play victim too much. You cry, 330 00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:14.799 You act as if you know people are out to get you and against you. 331 00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.680 And I feel like the majority of the heat, if you will, 332 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.880 that's been on her, rather it be at Lash or in the WNBA. 333 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:26.599 She did it to herself. And this is her talking yesterday, And you 334 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.279 know Kennedy Chandler talking yesterday, and the two of them chose to speak together 335 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:34.640 again as if they're victims in this whole thing, when it is you two 336 00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:40.279 that both on the floor and after the fact press conference which Rees didn't show 337 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:42.440 up to, and then on Twitter like you're not a victim. You made 338 00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.480 a fool of yourself and you're getting called for it, Like what do you 339 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:49.559 I mean? Like that, that's what this is. But here here's what 340 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:53.599 Angel Rees said. Let's see if I can get it to play for you. 341 00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:59.000 It all started from the National Championship game. And I've been dealing with 342 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:03.119 this for two years now and understanding like, yeah, negative things have probably 343 00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:07.400 been said about me, but honestly, I'll take that because look where women's 344 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:10.240 basketball is. People are talking about women's basketball. You never would think that 345 00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:12.000 we talking about women's basketball. People are pulling up to games. We got 346 00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:15.839 celebrities coming to games, sold aut arenas, like just because of one single 347 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.720 game, and just looking at that, like I'll take that role. I'll 348 00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.640 take the bad guy role, and I'll continue to take that on and be 349 00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:25.079 that for my teammates. And if I want to be that, and I 350 00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:26.599 know I'll go down to history. I'll look back in twenty years and be 351 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.920 like, yeah, the reason why we're watching women's basketball is not just because 352 00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:32.839 of one person. It's because of me too, And I want you to 353 00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:40.880 realize that. So that screams jealousy. If you felt that way, why 354 00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:42.759 do you have to say it? By the way, numbers don't back you 355 00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:49.000 up, to be honest with you. And she wants more credit for her 356 00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:55.119 and not just Caitlin Clark for that national championship game, which is you know, 357 00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:00.519 clearly that whole storyline did really prop up women's college basketball last year to 358 00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.000 have a monumental year with viewership and everything, and it was great. There 359 00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:07.240 was storylines, there was known stars for people who don't even follow the sport 360 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:12.599 that closely. But I mean Caitlyn Clark, Yeah, she can be fiery, 361 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:15.400 and I think she does what you would consider, you know what, 362 00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:18.799 not every player does. But like her screaming and all that, that was 363 00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:22.839 way different than what Angel Rees did when she went and got in her face 364 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:25.160 and wouldn't leave it alone, Like it was not the same thing. People 365 00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.160 can act like, oh, keep the same energy. You weren't doing that 366 00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:30.640 when Kaitlyn Clark was. No. I hated Kayln Clark because she did it 367 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.200 to my team. But then I watched the national championship game when Angel Reached 368 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.640 did it and it was not the same thing at all. It was taunting. 369 00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:40.160 It was over the top, so like you weren't a victim from that 370 00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:44.359 you did that, Like there's no accountability from her. She's young, but 371 00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:48.680 like she had, she's childish, and I just don't know why. Like 372 00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.759 when someone lacks self awareness or just can't read the room and doesn't know how 373 00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.799 they come off. I think a close friend who cares and knows should be 374 00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:00.640 able to like step in and say, look, you don't realize it, 375 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.960 but you're making it worse every time you talk. And you know she didn't 376 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:08.839 say anything crazy there, right, but you know it screams jealousy is what 377 00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:12.640 it is. What it does. And I think there's also some denial here 378 00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:18.680 because you know, if you look at the attendance at non Kaitlin Clark WNBA 379 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.519 games this past weekend, you know, the most was ten thousand. There 380 00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.200 were some that were three four thousand, one got to nine. A few 381 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.720 of them were in the four thousands, but attendance at Kaitlin Clark WNBA games 382 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.920 this past weekend, each of them were over seventeen thousand, like, tell 383 00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:38.920 yourself whatever you want. But Kaitlin Clark is the reason why there is this 384 00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:42.839 much attention on the WNBA and you can't deal with that, you can't accept 385 00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:47.839 that, and you're acting out and it screams jealousy and it's just a bad 386 00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:55.319 luck. How about that WNBA hot takes to start the show on a Tuesday. 387 00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:57.119 You never know what you're gonna get here, it's coffee and company. 388 00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:03.359 We are feel about Thorntons right here on Sports Talk seven nine. I'm second 389 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:06.319 guessing myself. Now this is Sawyer Brown, right, it is okay, 390 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:12.160 just making sure really good and then forgotten group from the nineties. I have 391 00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:19.599 learned though a lot of people thought Sawyer Brown was one guy I did until 392 00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:22.839 you just said something, did you really? Yeah? And that's okay because 393 00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:26.160 again, apparently you know that was the thing because they had a front man 394 00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.920 and his name is Mark Miller, and turns out he's like a big Kentucky 395 00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:36.759 fan And this is random as hell. I think it might be Kyle Macy 396 00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:42.359 who has become friends with him over the years, and he's he's like uses 397 00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:45.680 his tickets a lot, So I don't know the connection to Kentucky. I 398 00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.720 don't think he's originally from there, but yeah, Sawyer Brown Man, they 399 00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:51.599 had had a great run in the nineties, and I think they're one of 400 00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:55.799 those groups or just artists that just kind of they were never like at the 401 00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.920 top of the country world back in the nineties, but they had some hit, 402 00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.119 had a run, and then they kind of just faded away. But 403 00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:06.559 I think he was on ks R at one point and he shared that a 404 00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:10.160 lot of people like would just say, hey, you're Sawyer Brown like, 405 00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:11.880 well, kind of, I'm you know, I'm in the band. Well 406 00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:17.039 that's what happens when you name your band a name. Yeah, yeah, 407 00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:21.279 do you know many Sawyers? No, I don't have a friend who has 408 00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:25.960 a son named Sawyer. And uh, I like the name, but I'd 409 00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:30.680 never really thought about it, like I knew it was a name, but 410 00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:34.279 yeah, I just I don't know, like I assumed that because they were 411 00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:37.119 I mean, it's a group that you would just assume that, you know, 412 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:40.480 because how many how many bands are there, I guess there are artists 413 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:42.920 who are just they don't go by a band name or a group like, 414 00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:47.160 but they but you know, it's quite clear there there's more than just one 415 00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:51.319 person. However, the group themselves is just called the lead singer's name, 416 00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:53.039 you know, usually their last name, Like we played Dawtrey. Yesterday's name 417 00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.880 is Dawtrey. Yeah, so the band is called Dawtrey. Yeah. If 418 00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:00.799 you if you were like playing bass, is it just a given in the 419 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.960 music world that like yeah, because you're not the lead guy, the front 420 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:07.680 man. That if the if the band's name is based just off of the 421 00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:10.839 lead singer, like that's just how it goes. Because I don't know if 422 00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:12.119 I would. You know, I got an ego like anybody else, Like, 423 00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:14.759 I don't know if i'd be cool with that, Like you know, 424 00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.359 hey, why is it just this guy's name? Yeah, it's very I've 425 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.400 thought about that before, but again, I've never been in a band. 426 00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:25.200 I don't know how I would feel, but I can see could it could 427 00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:29.039 trigger some jealousy? Yeah, I wonder what, like the biggest reason bands 428 00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:33.720 breakup is. I feel like most of it from whenever I've read into stories 429 00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:38.400 on why bands breakup, it's either alcohol related or can I take another stab? 430 00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:42.480 Sure, and you might be saying this creative differences. Yes, that's 431 00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:45.200 exactly where I was going next. I don't believe any of that, Like 432 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.720 I think that could be there's an underlying reason to like there's more to it 433 00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:55.200 than yeah, we're gonna part ways. Like this is super successful, we're 434 00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:59.680 making a ton of money, but we're gonna walk away because of creative differences. 435 00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:02.200 I mean, maybe that is the truth. They learned the hard way. 436 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:06.200 But uh yeah, sometimes a lot of those guys, they they pan 437 00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:10.279 out solo careers and they they make more of me, not all the time, 438 00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:11.759 and usually ends up just kind of being a side project. But a 439 00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:17.680 lot of those guys they go on to have decent solo careers. Yeah, 440 00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:19.440 play me another sol your Brown the next hour. It's gonna be a sol 441 00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:25.680 your Brown Tuesday. First first return from every or first first return of the 442 00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:29.200 hour. We'll do sol your Brown. H love it. You do too 443 00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:30.799 much for me. I mean, I appreciate you really going the extra mile 444 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.799 since you're gonna be gone next week. Because I know Austin, you know, 445 00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.319 he'll play he'll play his his you know, his choice of songs. 446 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:41.000 What is his brand of music? It's all over the place. You know. 447 00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:45.000 Sometimes you know, I'll come in and I'm like, well, he 448 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:47.640 must have been at like, you know, a techno night last night, 449 00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:51.960 because that's that's the vibe. Or then sometimes it's you know, like is 450 00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:56.680 it called, oh yeah, dance music, and sometimes you know it's rock, 451 00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.880 like he's got a mixed bag and yeah, oh no, you all. 452 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.200 When I used to fill in for Matt, I feel like I was 453 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:06.880 always playing my rocky music stuff and you know, it wasn't always everybody's cup 454 00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:11.119 of tea. And honestly, the like, this is where you guys have 455 00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.839 full like creative control, not to take over the show, but that's where 456 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:18.920 you can put your flavor on it, you know what I mean, like 457 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.079 you yeah, we're talking about and I would never tell you, you know, 458 00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:26.079 hey, please stop playing this or that, because again, like you 459 00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:30.279 know, it's your, it's it's your. Could I like that you can 460 00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:34.480 play you know COOLi oh and then Celine Dion in the same hour, like 461 00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.000 and it wouldn't be you know, it's not that's not that unheard of around 462 00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:41.480 here. So uh yeah, I like being surprised too. I really enjoy 463 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:47.319 when there's a song like you just did that is played and I remember, 464 00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:49.359 oh yeah, that's because I you know, I said those words from that 465 00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:55.160 song, I ain't first class, but I and y trash and yesterday jealousy 466 00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:56.400 whenever I was talking about Like, So I like that. That that's I 467 00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.519 think that's that's creative. And I like being surprised. Just I like being 468 00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:03.440 surprised when I see what you name each show. That's fun to look at 469 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.200 me gassing you up before you get out of it. Hey, you know, 470 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:10.920 just just just being honest here, all right. So Scotty Scheffler, 471 00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.079 he spoke earlier today, I believe it a tournament that's about to take place 472 00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:21.079 in Ohio. And this is the first time he's talked publicly since his appearance 473 00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:23.400 at the PGA Championship, which of course resulted in him getting arrested, which 474 00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.880 is just crazy to say, but that's what happened. We all know that 475 00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:30.559 that's what happened, and you know it sucks. But here is uh, 476 00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:37.279 here's a here's an eleven second clip of mister Scheffler mentioning this city of Louisville 477 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.119 and you know, not calling it what it's called. I did not want 478 00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:44.599 to have to pursue legal action against Louisville because at the end of the day, 479 00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:48.039 that the people of Louisville are then gonna have to pay for the mistakes 480 00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:52.240 of their police department. That just doesn't seem right. And do you think 481 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.480 he knows it's not called Louisville And I don't care. I'm just curious. 482 00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:00.440 That's because he's he's like gas, He's like, hey, I didn't want 483 00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:03.480 to have to make the people of that city have to pay for it. 484 00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:06.119 It's not their fault. Like that's being nice, that's being kind. Yeah, 485 00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:07.359 that's almost like him going out of his way to make sure people are 486 00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.319 aware. He doesn't think that, you know, he doesn't think poorly of 487 00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:17.160 us as citizens of Louisville. I just don't get how anybody who went through 488 00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:22.400 what he went through and it involving the city and not hearing people pronounce the 489 00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.680 name Louisville or Louisville either one of those would be more acceptable than Louisville. 490 00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.920 Yeah, and again it's I don't want to say he did it on purpose, 491 00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:33.400 because if you just listen to it and you don't have any context, 492 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.720 it sounds like that's the way that he thought it was pronounced. Yeah, 493 00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:40.000 And I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, because you know, a 494 00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:41.440 lot of people gave him the benefit of the doubt whenever. We were just 495 00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:45.599 taking his word as to what happened, and I didn't think he was lying, 496 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.799 but sure enough he was telling the truth about what happened. And there 497 00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:52.160 are some people that think that maybe he's kind of taken this approach because he 498 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.240 knows that maybe he did something that wasn't on camera or something. But either 499 00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:00.640 way, like that's whose fault is that that's an Ellen officer who pooped his 500 00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:07.119 pants and didn't have his body came on and that's a direct violation of your 501 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:08.680 job. So like that's on you. And I don't believe that. I 502 00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:10.759 don't believe that, but you know, certainly something even know, one of 503 00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:13.960 the first texts that came in on the text line is, you know, 504 00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:16.119 I said, if I was Scotti Scheffler, you know I would I would 505 00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:19.279 you know, I don't know if i'd have I don't know if i'd be 506 00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:22.000 handling the exact same way that he did. And something, Well, you 507 00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:23.160 know, he feels like, you know, and I never know if somebody's 508 00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:27.000 trolling me, if they really believe like, well he got away with assaulting 509 00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:29.279 a cop, he should be lucky, Like do you believe that or are 510 00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:30.559 you just saying that to try to, you know, to get me going, 511 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:34.000 which either way, I mean, that's your opinion. Cool, don't 512 00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:37.880 care, no offense, just you're not going to change my mind, and 513 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:42.559 I don't care that you have that opinion. But he grew up in Texas, 514 00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:46.720 and there is a Lewisville, Texas, which makes me think that that 515 00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:51.519 could be where he just get you know that while talking up there at a 516 00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:53.599 press conference with a bunch of cameras a lot of attention, like it just 517 00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:58.640 that's what he went with instead of that, but you are you, But 518 00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:01.640 you said something that I hadn't thought that is so true. Maybe he tried 519 00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:07.079 to block it out and ignore it. But like nationally, it was discussed 520 00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:09.960 for like a week any update. Certainly the first the weekend that that had 521 00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:13.200 happened. It was all anybody talked about across the country when it comes to 522 00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:15.039 sports. But he was even a bigger story than just in the sports world, 523 00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.200 and nationally, nobody was calling it Lewisville. Now, they may not 524 00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:22.200 get it right when we say Louisville, like they may say Louisville or Louisville 525 00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:24.839 like some people just you know, get they overthink it and it just roll 526 00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:28.839 off the tongueunless you're a Louisville native or you've been around here or you just 527 00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:31.839 know, like you've come to know how we pronounce this city. But I 528 00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:37.079 don't think it was, you know, a diss or a slight at the 529 00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:40.839 city. But it's just sad, you know, because he'll be all right, 530 00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:45.160 you know. I don't think people overall look at him differently as if 531 00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:53.799 he's a bad guy. But I think anybody who goes through that the the 532 00:33:54.920 --> 00:34:02.519 legal system for something that they truly are innocent of, like that'll that'll mess 533 00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:06.359 with you, man, Like that'll mean that I think you have every right 534 00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:09.320 to be in like if you end up going to jail for something that you 535 00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:14.639 didn't do, and now there are there are there are instances where it just 536 00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:19.119 comes down to them taking somebody's word over yours and you got to let it 537 00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:21.679 play out and then you end up getting proven to be innocent. And that 538 00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:24.400 really is just that's that's that's really law enforcement probably just doing the protocol of 539 00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:29.480 what they are taught to do in regards to like handling situations that might result 540 00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:34.440 in somebody getting handcuffs on them and going to jail. So sometimes it's just 541 00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:37.239 you know, like sometimes things happen, like you know, and there's no 542 00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:39.679 really anybody to blame. It's just a tough situation that like sucks. But 543 00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:46.239 if you end up going to serve jail time because of shoddy police work or 544 00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:49.920 like maybe there's a crooked cop, which by the way, there was one 545 00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.880 here in Louisville for a long time that you know, the city's now had 546 00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:55.920 to pay millions and millions of dollars to people who were thrown in prison because 547 00:34:55.920 --> 00:35:00.400 of this cop, you know, doctoring evidence and whatnot, which, by 548 00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:01.079 the way, I went into deep dive on that the other day. It's 549 00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:05.679 wild that that happens. But what I'm getting at is like I can't imagine, 550 00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:08.159 like, oh, we're sorry, we really it was a big mistake 551 00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:10.639 on our end. We hope you accept our apology. I'm like, you 552 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:16.559 ruined my life. Like it's just it scares me to think how common that 553 00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:19.880 that happens, and I you know, I don't want to think about it. 554 00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:23.800 I'm not saying everybody in prison is innocent, but just the evidence that 555 00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:29.280 just over the years, folks who have been proven to be innocent of something 556 00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:34.159 they serve time for and maybe had their life ruined for. Like that's awful, 557 00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:37.880 Like that's you know, I don't know how you can be repaid for 558 00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:40.239 that. Obviously you can file a lawsuit and get a lot of money, 559 00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:45.639 but still I think there's a personal pride that like, yeah, you can, 560 00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:47.360 you can make off with a bunch of money from it, but it 561 00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:51.360 still is just like a violation. You know, I don't know. I'm 562 00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:53.360 just rambling here. And Scotti Scheffler, you know, he'll be okay. 563 00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:57.719 I don't think he's a victim, but I can't be the only one. 564 00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:00.039 In fact, I know I'm not the only one when this thing played out 565 00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:05.519 step by step. I mean I thought, if he's he wasn't Scotti Scheffler, 566 00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:08.119 if he didn't have the resources he has, if he wasn't someone that 567 00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:13.119 is so famous that it's going to generate this kind of attention, you'd probably 568 00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:17.039 still be sitting in jail, Which is crazy because anybody who thinks that what 569 00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:22.800 we saw and what we witnessed is worthy of a felony, like, you're 570 00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:30.679 wrong. And I think Steve Rohmins was you know, very you know, 571 00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:37.599 I think he was strategic in how he brought up the fact that if in 572 00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:40.159 fact they had any like if he was truly dragged by the vehicle as he 573 00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:44.159 claims when he in my opinion, I believe he pooped his pants. That's 574 00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:45.079 how the pants got ruined. He never said they were torn, ever said 575 00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:46.840 they were ripped. He just said they were ruined. You know, they 576 00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:51.039 were ruined because I think he I think he pooped himself and he got a 577 00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:55.199 booboo on his knee. But like, if they felt that they truly had 578 00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:59.440 that situation where he was dragged, they wouldn't drop the charges. And the 579 00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:04.239 fact that they were multiple witnesses that talked to both the county attorney and to 580 00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:07.920 row Mians and we're willing to testify that they saw everything. They didn't have 581 00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:08.599 a camera, they didn't have a body cam or anything like that, but 582 00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:14.280 they saw it and that that didn't happen like that is crazy. And again, 583 00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:15.719 if it wasn't Scotty Scheffler, that person may still be sitting in jail, 584 00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.119 which is just a scary thing to think about. All right, you 585 00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:22.559 know what else is the scary thing? Scary thing to think about? Low 586 00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:25.760 T, Low T, You don't want it. You terrifying, Yeah, 587 00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:30.159 it's terrifying. You don't want low TE. And I could tell you firsthand. 588 00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:34.000 I had low T and it sucked. Didn't really know what it was, 589 00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:36.760 but you know, workouts weren't as effective as they used to be. 590 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:39.000 I was lethargic overall. The best way to describe it as I just kind 591 00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:42.039 of felt like I'd lost my edge and I didn't know why. For a 592 00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:44.199 while, I chalked it up as, hey, you know, you're getting 593 00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:46.440 older, that's part of it. And although that is true, you know 594 00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:51.679 that's not always that's not the full reason, right Like, as you get 595 00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:53.679 older, obviously things change. But for me, when I got my levels 596 00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:57.800 checked at the Louis of Men's Clinic, I realized, you know, my 597 00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.320 levels are not you know, just low for my age. My levels were 598 00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:04.280 someone who was probably in their sixties, which wasn't good to hear. But 599 00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:07.840 it also made me realize sort of, how, you know, you know, 600 00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:09.000 how common this is, and that there are things you can do to 601 00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:13.199 treat low T. And I'm doing that now with the lot of Men's Clinic. 602 00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:15.599 I've been getting testosterone treatment for a few months now, and it's you 603 00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:20.039 know, not an exaggeration to say it's changed my life. I have more 604 00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:23.519 energy, I have better workouts, my mental state is better, which again 605 00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:29.119 I'm not over selling it here. Low testosterone can lead to can impact you 606 00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:31.480 negatively in a variety of ways, including with depression. And I don't think 607 00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:35.800 that I had full blown depression, but I just feel a lot better about 608 00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:40.519 myself. And if you are somebody that, whatever age you are, you 609 00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:44.400 just feel as if maybe things you know, you're not getting the benefit of 610 00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:46.719 the workouts like you used to, you know, again lost your edge. 611 00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:50.960 It could be because you have low T and there's only only one way to 612 00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:52.920 find out, and that's to go to the Lois of Men's Clinic. Go 613 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:55.960 see doctor Wood, get your levels checked and they'll let you know. And 614 00:38:57.000 --> 00:39:01.400 sometimes your levels may not necessarily show that you are extremely low in the testosterone, 615 00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:05.639 but if you have symptoms and it kind of lines up, they'll they'll 616 00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:07.440 find a way to make you happier and healthy. That's what they do with 617 00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:09.719 the Louis of Men's Clinic. It's not just low tee. It could be 618 00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:15.360 for rectile ysfunction, it could be weight loss therapy. They've got hair restoration. 619 00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:20.440 I mean they are an all full service men's clinic, hence the name 620 00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:23.239 louis of Men's Clinic, because they're helping men become happier and healthier. And 621 00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:28.800 I know that there's got to be many people just like myself who have benefited 622 00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:30.599 from the services at Louisvill Men's Clinic. And they thought to themselves, Wow, 623 00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:34.000 why didn't I reach out a couple of years ago, five years ago? 624 00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:36.360 And it's a good question, but you know, better late than ever. 625 00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:37.679 Right, give them a call now, FAVO two four four four four 626 00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:42.280 thousand again five O two four four four four thousand as the number. You 627 00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:45.559 can check them out online at Louisville Men's Clinic dot com. All right, 628 00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:47.320 quick time, I will come back and wrap up the three o'clock hour. 629 00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:54.280 Keep this party rolling along. What a weird show. Wnba Hot takes thoughts 630 00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:58.519 on folks getting arrested and doing time for crowns they didn't commit. What is 631 00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:06.360 this this sport show? So I believe right now, ten of the thirteen 632 00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:09.800 newcomers are on campus at U of L, and you know, here for 633 00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:14.519 the summer and going through workouts and stuff. And I don't think there's any 634 00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:17.280 concern about those that have not arrived just yet. In fact, I believe 635 00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:22.239 two of them are guys who are going to have to read shirt. So 636 00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:24.920 maybe there's not as much urgency for them to get here because they're coming off 637 00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:30.320 of injuries. But you know, I love the breath, you know, 638 00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:32.760 the small clips and when I say small, I mean like maybe twenty seconds, 639 00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:37.920 sometimes even less than that. But there's these clips that the social media 640 00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:39.599 group over at u of L is putting out of these guys. I guess 641 00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:44.280 it's like some testing, like some summer conditioning testing stuff where they're like testing 642 00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:49.599 verticals and whatnot. And there is a video of a guy who I've said 643 00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:52.960 since day one, since he committed, I think like he isn't going to 644 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:55.280 get a lot of attention compared to some other transfers, not just around Louisville 645 00:40:55.280 --> 00:41:00.519 but just in the country. But I think Kador trail or who transfer from 646 00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:04.679 Long Beach State is I mean, I think he's got a chance to be 647 00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:07.119 a really special player here that we remember for a long time. Now. 648 00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:09.960 Again, a lot of that depends on how good the team is, and 649 00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:13.679 I'm not even sure how much eligibility he has left, So maybe that's a 650 00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:15.440 little bit of an exaggeration, but to me, he's the guy that it's 651 00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:17.639 going to be really hard to keep off the floor. He's a freak athlete, 652 00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:22.280 he's explosive, he's long, and he's just rare man. I mean, 653 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:28.320 the one thing he's not great at and you know, there's really no 654 00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:30.639 I mean, it's not like at this point in his career it's going to 655 00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:35.639 improve substantially. But you know, he's not a shooter, and he knows 656 00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:39.679 that. And I think he's probably had that weakness to his game maybe since 657 00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:45.760 day one, right, because he does everything else so well to where he 658 00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:50.199 doesn't need to take any jump shots to make an impact. You know, 659 00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:54.159 there are teams that would not defend him like on the perimeter, right because 660 00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:57.440 they knew he wasn't a threat to shoot. And at times, you know, 661 00:41:57.480 --> 00:42:00.000 that can be you know, that can be a problem, right. 662 00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:01.320 You know, you just you're out there taking up space and you're making it 663 00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:04.639 easy on the defense. If they're just challenging you to shoot and you don't 664 00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:07.440 shoot it. Sometimes you got to trust the shot and you know, fire, 665 00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:08.880 you know, fire away if it's a good look. But he and 666 00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:12.760 if you go watch a lot of his highlights, he'll be dribbling the ball 667 00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:15.400 with the opponent knowingly just backing off, and he'll still find a way to 668 00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:19.960 back somebody down and distribute. I mean, he's just a rare player, 669 00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:22.639 and rare doesn't mean, you know, he's an All American. But it's 670 00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.880 six five, one hundred and ninety five pounds. You know, that's typically 671 00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:34.440 a shooting guard or a combo guard like frame right six five, But you 672 00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:37.480 know, his wingspan makes it to where you just watching him out there running 673 00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:40.920 and jumping, he looks like he's more of a stretch four. But twelve 674 00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:44.280 points, eight and a half rebounds, four and a half assist, a 675 00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:46.440 games, shot fifty one percent from the field. This is a guy who 676 00:42:46.480 --> 00:42:49.519 knows who he is as a player. And I don't know if he's going 677 00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:52.800 to start, but I just have a hard time thinking he's going He's not 678 00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:54.719 going to play big minutes and have a big role because again, he does 679 00:42:54.719 --> 00:43:00.719 a little bit of everything, and the motor just never stops. So you 680 00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:05.639 know, I'm sure there'll be many clips that get posted on social media over 681 00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:08.559 the summer of these guys doing workouts and whatnot, and it doesn't mean much, 682 00:43:08.599 --> 00:43:13.119 right, you know, I know that this doesn't tell us anything but 683 00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:16.760 the fact that we can now see this stuff in the offseason and just by 684 00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:22.239 looking at the body language of not just the players going through these workouts, 685 00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:25.599 but just everybody in the gym over there at the Keeper Center, Like morale's 686 00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:30.840 different, the culture's different, and again we'll see how it all works out. 687 00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:34.920 I don't say that to present doubt, because I don't. I mean, 688 00:43:35.239 --> 00:43:37.880 I don't know, but I have faith and belief that Pat Kelsey's gonna 689 00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:40.039 have a great run here. Now will he win a national championship and go 690 00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:43.320 to a bunch of final fours? Who knows, But I think, you 691 00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:45.360 know, this is going to be successful. I don't know that, but 692 00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:51.719 I choose to believe that. But to see this stuff and feel, you 693 00:43:51.760 --> 00:44:00.039 know, genuine excitement is just it's been missed. I mean, not to 694 00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:02.599 go back to the previous era, but you know one Kenny and his crew 695 00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:06.400 didn't do much of this stuff to really engage fans. But even when they 696 00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:09.320 did, you know, we knew that like this was not gonna work out, 697 00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:13.480 even before he ever coached a game, there were some signs that some 698 00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:15.719 didn't want to acknowledge. I didn't want to acknowledge. I didn't want to, 699 00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:19.159 but clearly red flags right out of the gate. And now there's a 700 00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:22.280 new era here, and just being excited about little clips from social media and 701 00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:25.679 having you know, feeling like it's genuine. That's just it's something that I 702 00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:29.719 missed. All Right, let's get to a top of the hour break. 703 00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:30.960 Two more hours to go, a lot more to get into. Stick around, 704 00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:35.159 We'll keep the party rolling along right here on Sports Talk seven ninety
