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 --> 00:00:12.359 Holy crap, I don't know who the hell we think when we are get 3 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:16.320 off our show, idiot. The kids are crying or tail off. The 4 00:00:16.399 --> 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 Inner Murals. They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not. 6 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.440 Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you kidding me? 7 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:41.359 Now? Here's nick coffee? All right, let's get it started, ladies 8 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.479 and gentlemen. Sorry if I came in a little hot there. The last 9 00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.679 person on this studio that was signed into this computer was Shannon the dude, 10 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.920 and usually he doesn't have the levels up full blast. And I hope, 11 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.759 you know, hopefully we've got some things on our end to where if it 12 00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.119 is overmodulated, it won't sound so bad. But man, I could hear 13 00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:03.039 it in my headphones that I just digested the microphone to get the show started, 14 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.079 So apologies. Usually I check on the levels before we get it started, 15 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.000 but I didn't do that today. I'm a little distracted because we are, 16 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:11.560 of course in the heat of the summer, middle of July. But 17 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:18.959 if you are walking around the iHeart headquarters here at four Street Live, you 18 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.879 would think that it's Christmas. Have you noticed all the Christmas decorations I have? 19 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.319 And I think it's cringey. I probably shouldn't say that over the air 20 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.400 bottle like it you just said it. Well, do you understand why? 21 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.040 So, I'm the Christmas in July is like a thing? Well so, 22 00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:38.680 but it's too I love Christmas, and you know, I'm not going to 23 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:41.760 complain about anything Christmas related. It does feel a little off in the month 24 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.439 of July. But what stood out to me is that what they're doing, 25 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.200 if you didn't know, is they're trying to motivate everybody in the sales department 26 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.680 that, like, right now, we were given away Christmas gifts essentially in 27 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.680 July with savings when it comes to advertising right with our clients. Ok, 28 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.000 that makes sense. Somebody didn't just decorate for Christmas to like that's what I 29 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:06.400 thought it was. Yeah, I mean, did you really think that's why 30 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.520 I'm so unpleased when it comes to certain things like the things that you just 31 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:13.759 mentioned. Yeah, I mean, first time I saw it, because it's 32 00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.719 the reason, it's the reason I even brought it up. Is because it's 33 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.800 not just like, hey, there's somebody put a little mini Christmas tree, 34 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.000 like on a table that sits in front of the entire sales team. The 35 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:28.039 entire office is decorated in Christmas stuff. There's a Christmas tree, I think, 36 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.039 like in each office room. There are stickers all over the place, 37 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.639 like it is fully decked out in a way that I've never seen iHeart, 38 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.159 decked out for Christmas even when it is actually Christmas time, rather it be 39 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:43.479 here at our new setup or at the old setup. So they're really trying 40 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.840 to motivate our sales team to you know, they're committed to the bit as 41 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.360 they say, yeah, but it's I mean, I can it's to a 42 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.400 level that like I can kind of respect how like it. They're not going 43 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:59.759 to let you forget if you're here that it's we've got Christmas in July savings 44 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.960 stuff offer to our clients like good good deals and whatnot. It's one thing 45 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.400 to just say it, have it on a on an email and you know, 46 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.719 give somebody a Christmas card and have like the little mini tree that sits 47 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.960 on people's desk that we are I mean, we have a full Christmas tree 48 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.360 set up in our big meeting room up there, and you know, it's 49 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:21.319 it's just it's it's been that way for a couple of weeks now and it's 50 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.400 still when I walk in every day, I'm like, I think another tree 51 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.439 has been added. I think there's presence here. I think, you know, 52 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:31.280 maybe Santa's going to walk around the corner and surprise us. Did you 53 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.960 really think somebody because if they were doing it just like like, do you 54 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.919 think Joy was doing it just to be funny? I guess I didn't. 55 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.280 I didn't really think about it being Joy's idea of I thought somebody was just 56 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.879 like trying to sounds like an office morale type of thing. If somebody was 57 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:50.120 going to decorate the office, though, wouldn't you think Joy? Yeah, 58 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.599 that would make sense. And I hate that you feel as if, like, 59 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.360 you know, somebody around here was just I mean, because that would 60 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.800 be weird, like if there's no like the Christmas in July thing I feel 61 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.800 like has always been mentioned because there's some kind of a savings that some company 62 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.680 is offering when it comes to like a deal. Yeah, that's when I 63 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.680 hear Christmas in July. It's like they want you to think that you're getting 64 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.520 some kind of a gift in Christmas. I mean, it is really stupid 65 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:15.879 if you think about it. But it's you know, it's been around a 66 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.879 long time. But if it's you know, let's say it's April, because 67 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.319 you know it's it's not summer, and it's not close to Christmas, You're 68 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.199 four months, so you're four months removed from it. Like if the office 69 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:30.680 would have been decorated like that, I would have I would have wondered, 70 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:31.920 Okay, what are we doing here? Like this is this is kind of 71 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.800 odd, and that's coming from somebody who happens to love Christmas time. But 72 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.959 I'm not kidding you. I think each day I walk in, there's a 73 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:43.079 new decoration, there's a new a new added layer to our Christmas in July 74 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.920 setup. And I'm hopeful that it really has, you know, motivated our 75 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.680 sales team to get out and get these great Christmas deals, Christmas savings, 76 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:56.199 Christmas in July opportunities in front of our great clients. All right, it's 77 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.759 Coffee and Company. It's not Christmas. It's July, and we're still impatiently 78 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.079 way waiting for football season to start. However, we are just a few 79 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:08.279 days away from watching some Louisville basketball. I can say Louisville basketball because it 80 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:12.160 is Louisville former Leivell players. For the most part, it's gonna take place 81 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.800 here in Louisville. But it's not Louisville Cardinals. It's former Louisville Cardinals. 82 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:20.079 And I don't know why I've got like this mental block to where, like 83 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:24.279 I tell myself, hey, you know, this is not really a Louisville 84 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.800 basketball thing, like this won't count towards Louisville getting back on track under Pat 85 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:30.519 Kelce. And I don't know why. Maybe it's because, you know, 86 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.600 I don't want to get overly worked up for it. But it's gonna happen 87 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:39.800 because we have not had legitimate louisvill basketball, meaning the games you see from 88 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.959 you know, November to March. We haven't had good basketball in quite some 89 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.600 time. And these guys, the TVT squad, the Ville, they gave 90 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.040 us a great showing last year, and I think they're gonna be even better 91 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.920 this year. I really do so. I'm excited about that. And then 92 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:56.399 of course, before the end of the month, we will have some Louisville 93 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.399 basketball in the Bahamas, you know, real Louisville basketball. But again it's 94 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.480 you know, it's not it's an exhibition game. But hey, it's the 95 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.959 first first chance that Pat Kelsey squad's going to have to go out and take 96 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:12.639 on somebody, and I'm excited for it. So real quick, right now, 97 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:18.120 all available tickets in the one hundred and two hundred levels of Freedom Hall 98 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:24.120 have been sold so I think that's roughly forty five hundred to five thousand seats. 99 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.680 So the lower bowl is essentially sold out. Now if you go look 100 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:32.279 at ticket Master and they and then they'll show you that map that shows let's 101 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.680 see here. I just had it pulled up. Yeah, here we go. 102 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:39.680 So the lower bowl, yeah, I guess, let's see. Yeah, 103 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:44.000 the lower bowl is is all one hundred and two hundred sections are are 104 00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.120 sold out. I didn't know if they had like the seats behind the behind 105 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.279 the goal, if they were, you know, had them open for that, 106 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:54.439 because they're not like they're not staging this for like a full house because 107 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.560 they're not going to get you know, however, many Freedom Hall holds. 108 00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:01.040 I think Freedom Hall at full capacity for a basketball game is like eighteen eight 109 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.680 hundred and sixty five. Yeah, I just looked it up. So Bellerman 110 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:10.560 plays there still every year, and I think it's cap for Bellerman at six 111 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:15.000 thousand, two hundred, sixty two hundred, so I guess they just do 112 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.120 Lower Bowl for Bellerman games. And then there's also I guess some available seating 113 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.160 elsewhere that makes it, you know, collectively sixty two hundred. I guess. 114 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:25.839 I guess what it probably is is that that's if you remember Freedom Hall 115 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.399 for a basketball game, which you know, obviously I do, but there's 116 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.319 probably a lot of people. I mean, gosh that Louisville's been away from 117 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.959 Freedom Hall for what thirteen fourteen years now. I think this will be like 118 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.639 the fifteenth season of the Young Center, which is kind of crazy to say, 119 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.879 but there was that the upper level, but the first few seats of 120 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.360 the upper level that hangover area, those are actually really good seats, by 121 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.720 the way, so I would imagine they probably have those available too, because 122 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.199 again, that's still a great seat, to be honest with you, So 123 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.920 I think Louisville is gonna sell this out. I mean, we got a 124 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.839 ways to go, but if you look and the reason, I feel pretty 125 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.079 confident because again, the only only tickets you can purchase right now or in 126 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.519 the three hundreds, and if you like, let's just say three twelve. 127 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.040 Three twelve is dead Center. It's the upper level, but it's you know, 128 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.959 it's dead Center Center Court. So if you double click on that section, 129 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.480 it'll show you on ticket Master the available tickets that you can buy. 130 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.839 So let's see here one, two, three, four, five, six 131 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:22.560 seven. It looks like there's a bout. I don't know. There's quite 132 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.800 a few rows here in that section, but the only seats available in that 133 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.639 section are in the last six rows. So you know, eighty five to 134 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.679 ninety percent of that upper level section in the middle is already sold out or 135 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.759 not sold out, but they've already sold those in that section, so I 136 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:41.559 guess it is, you know, sold out in that section if you want 137 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.559 to sit close. So the three hundreds, you know, that's upper level. 138 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.919 But each if you click on each of those sections within ticket Master, 139 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.919 you can see the availability and there's still plenty of tickets available. Right they're 140 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.879 not close to selling out what they you know, I guess have staged this 141 00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:00.559 for as far as the overall capacity, but they're you know, I mean, 142 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.960 I don't want to get ahead of myself here, but I feel like 143 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.399 just looking at what has already been purchased, meaning what is not available when 144 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.279 I look at this, like they got to be close to the record. 145 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.879 The record is seven let's yeah, seven thousand and two hundred and two is 146 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:20.559 the record for a TBT game. So you know, just guestimating here forty 147 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.120 five hundred, which takes up the sections one hundred and two hundred the lower 148 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.080 bowl essentially, and then just looking at what is not available to purchase in 149 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.120 the in the three hundred, It's like, I, again, I could 150 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.960 be way off here, but like I don't, you know, I don't. 151 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.639 I don't know how they can't be close if those tickets have already been 152 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:43.399 purchased. Kind of reminds me of the Louisville football sellout last year. Do 153 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.399 you remember the conversation we kept having during that week, John, when Notre 154 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.639 Dame was in town and it was sold out and it sold out like a 155 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.799 week, like a week out or maybe even longer. I think it might 156 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.080 have been like ten days before that game, because there was a lot of 157 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.639 anticipation. Obviously, Louisville was undefeated at the time, and they you know 158 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:03.360 that, and that lined up very very well for Jeff brom to get his 159 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.000 first big time victory and as the Louisville head coach. But if you would 160 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.440 look at the ticket resale sites like stub Hub and ticket Master, you know, 161 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.200 you could still buy a ton of tickets, and you could go to 162 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.159 these sections within Ellen N. Cardinal Stadium and there was still like, you 163 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.919 know, fifty tickets available in this section, one hundred tickets available over here, 164 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.240 which kind of made me feel like, you know what, it's a 165 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.039 is it a fake sell out? Either way, all tickets have been sold, 166 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.679 so u of LA is not misleading anybody. They don't have any tickets 167 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.320 that they can sell, so by definition, it's sold out. But you 168 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.639 never know, like when that happens, it could make people if you're not 169 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.279 looking to see what's available and what's out there to purchase, you know, 170 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.399 you might be expecting a crowd where you can't move, and then you get 171 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.840 there and you realize it's really not close to that. Now again, you 172 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:54.519 can't control that people. I mean, I'm sure there are AI bots out 173 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.399 there. I'm sure there's artificial intelligence that has the ability to go in and 174 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.320 scoop up you know, mass amounts of tickets and then resell them. I 175 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.039 know they've tried to crack down on that, but anyways, here's one more 176 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.159 pitch to make to you guys to go enjoy some basketball and July. What 177 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.960 else you have to do. It's one o'clock on a Saturday. It'll probably 178 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:20.159 be a billion degrees outside the nostalgia last year was awesome and it's good basketball 179 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.039 too, by the way I mean and I we'll get into it a little 180 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.039 bit more in the next couple of days as we get closer, but I 181 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.399 truly believe they will be maybe much. I think they could be a lot 182 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.120 better than they were a year ago. I don't think that's an exaggeration when 183 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.759 you look at the fact that they added a guy who just a few years 184 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.679 ago was the NBA six Man of the Year. I don't think there's anybody 185 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.279 else playing in the tvt especially not in its Louisville pod that has NBA hardware 186 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:46.879 like Mantres Harral and Chris Jones. I'm not sure what folks memory of him 187 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.039 is, just given the fact that it played out very unfortunately for him here 188 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.399 we was dismissed from the team, and then of course falsely accused and charged 189 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.000 with sexual assault and it all ended up being a complete lie. But he 190 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.679 was a hell of a player here whenever things were going well for him, 191 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:01.960 and he's been a good pro. In last year, he was one of 192 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.279 the better guards in the event overall. So you know, I'm excited, 193 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.879 and I will say because I already know. And it's the first person that 194 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.879 texted in today has already said it. I'm sure there'll be many more that 195 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.720 text in and say the same thing. And that is how expensive tickets are. 196 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:22.720 Twenty eight bucks. Let's just see here, So one ticket costs twenty 197 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.679 eight dollars. So let's say me and the wife and the kids wanted to 198 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:33.360 go check out some basketball at Freedom Hall on Saturday. Four tickets would cost 199 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.840 me one hundred and twelve dollars. And of course that is before all the 200 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:43.960 fees. Is there any site that, like any resealing, reselling platform for 201 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.679 tickets that does not have like a substantial fee. I mean, oh no, 202 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.840 I feel like I know Ticketmaster's gotten in trouble over the years, and 203 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.799 for some reason I thought that they were supposed to have all of the fees 204 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:56.879 out in the open. Now, before you get to the final purchasing point. 205 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.000 Yeah, I think I feel like the day that they announced that like 206 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.240 you no longer could have a non compete contract, like as an employer, 207 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.519 you know what I mean, Like that, Like that same day we also 208 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:15.279 learned that airlines cannot just randomly throw eighteen different charges at you. And I 209 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.200 feel like also the tickets. I mean, it might have been Taylor Swift 210 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.399 or Morgan Wallen or Zach Bryan. One of them has been very open about 211 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.039 wanting to like not ever have their tickets for sale on ticket Master because they 212 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.960 think it's a fraudulent company that scams people. It might have been Zach Bryan 213 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:33.120 kind of sounds like him, to be honest with you, And it did 214 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.600 lead to some type of oversight to where they were either being investigated or they 215 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.000 were told they could no longer do something. But yeah, right now, 216 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:43.519 it's twenty eight bucks a ticket, and then with all the other fees added, 217 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.000 it totals out to a purchase of one hundred and forty dollars. So, 218 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.039 yes, one hundred and forty dollars just to get in is a little 219 00:13:52.080 --> 00:14:00.600 steep, but you know it's worth it because you know that's how much I 220 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.799 love Louisville basketball, and I want to do my part and helping this thing, 221 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:09.200 helping Louisville break the record, which I'm thinking trying to think of a 222 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.360 plan here. I think a year ago I could probably get Moose in without 223 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.879 a ticket because he was three, and I could have told people he was 224 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.279 two. And I don't know if anybody would have, you know, called 225 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.399 me on it, and Moose, I feel like, and I don't know 226 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.240 your son, obviously, but from what I've seen on a lot at him, 227 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.519 well he doesn't know me that kind of thing. But anyway, oh, 228 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.240 he knows that I work with a guy named John because whenever we went 229 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.600 to do the trunk retreat at your church, I don't know if you remember, 230 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.840 and he was walking around. I told him you were going to be 231 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:39.720 there. He wanted to know where the hell you were. That's right, 232 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.159 he was the job. You remember. He walked around the car looking for 233 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:43.799 you because I said, he's right here, and I'm like, no, 234 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.559 he's behind the car. He's giving up candy. But he seems like the 235 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.399 kind of guy if you told him his actual age, he would correct you 236 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.679 in front of everybody, and then oh, you're able to get away with 237 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.320 it. Oh, he'd be insulted if he said he was three. He 238 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.320 just turned four, and he'll tell you when he turned four too. By 239 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.120 the way, that's a good question to throw out there. Has anybody been 240 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.519 stopped when they fibbed about their kids age to get in somewhere, because that's 241 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.639 that's one of those things that you really got to have a set on you 242 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.720 to call somebody out for lying about their kids age. And also good luck 243 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.720 proving it, Like there's no way to prove it. I mean, even 244 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:22.159 if my kid could be thirteen, I'm like, yeah, he's five kids 245 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.799 kids, kids under five get in free, right, Like I would clearly 246 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:28.679 be lying, But you couldn't prove it, you know what I mean, 247 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.960 Like I'm not going to produce the birth certificate. I mean, I think 248 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.399 if you really tried to do that and they fought you on it, you 249 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.679 would lose and nobody would have sympathy for you. But you know, like 250 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.159 I feel like there's so many people that have gotten their kids into Louisville games 251 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:48.240 rather be at the Young Center or at Cardinal Stadium that you know, because 252 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.159 I think it is kids, kids too and underget in free. I could 253 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.120 be wrong, And like you did it until they were three and a half 254 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:56.080 or four, if you could get away with it if they looked young, 255 00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.720 you know, when you get them bundled up and you hold That's one thing 256 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.360 I moose is a big fella for a four year old, But like if 257 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.759 I hold him in a certain way, he's still going to look big, 258 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:07.600 but he won't look as big, you know what I'm saying. Like if 259 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:08.559 I got him on the hip and I'm holding him, it'll just you know, 260 00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:12.679 to blind. Yeah, won't show how tall he is. So yeah, 261 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.440 I'm curious. Has anybody ever been called out or do you know anybody 262 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.840 that's been called out and they said, look, yeah, we're not buying 263 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.840 it. Your kid's not getting in here. You can go in, mom 264 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:23.519 and dad, but you got to leave. You got to leave your juvenile 265 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:26.639 out here. A kid ain't three, he's thirteen. I mean, I 266 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.519 don't know. I just feel like it's one of those things that nobody can 267 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:34.039 really ever prove it. And look, people try to get away with free 268 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.639 stuff all the time, and you know, cut corners and save money, 269 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.399 right, everybody loves to save money and get free stuff. So it wouldn't 270 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.679 shock me if if those who do work those gates have had to like say, 271 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.639 look, come on, I'm not that stupid. It reminds me of 272 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:49.679 one time when I went to uh to the movies when I was like, 273 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:55.000 I don't know, I was young, I wasn't old enough to drink. 274 00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:56.000 My wife and I we were still going to the movies, you know, 275 00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:59.639 because we were we didn't have a lot of money to do much of anything 276 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:00.879 else. And we used to live by a movie theater. And I remember 277 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.839 before you could buy him on online on your phone, you could actually go 278 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:08.200 to like the Kiosk and do it and not wait in line, and you 279 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.079 know that used to feel like, wow, this is they've really made some 280 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.559 technological upgrades here. You can now just get in without you know, without 281 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.920 going and waiting in line and getting a paper ticket. They'll actually it'll print 282 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.359 it out for you either way. I remember there was somebody in front of 283 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:23.559 us that bought two tickets for the same movie that we bought two tickets for, 284 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.400 and it just happened that we ended up walking in together. And it 285 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:33.480 says on there like kids ticket. So this dude was like sixty and he's 286 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.000 with his with his girlfriend who's probably a little bit younger than him, maybe 287 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:38.880 his wife, I'm not sure. And I remember thinking like they just bought 288 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.680 kids tickets, like that might that might be that might be a way to 289 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.160 save some money, Like I might do that too, And but I was 290 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:47.000 such a chicken, like I was like, oh, no, they'll they'll 291 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:48.839 probably arrest me because I'm scared of getting in trouble, you know, right, 292 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.240 I watch a lot of prison shows, Like obviously they wouldn't be a 293 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.319 serious charge, but like, I'm really I'm really worried about, you know, 294 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:57.200 being the one guy they make an example of her something minor. So 295 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:02.119 I didn't end up doing it, but he did. And and they this, 296 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:07.000 you know, young, this young employee at the movie theater just looked 297 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:08.480 at the tickets before they ripped off half of them and gave them back, 298 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.000 and it said kids ticket. And you know, they looked like almost they 299 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.880 they looked at the tickets and told them it was a kid's ticket, almost 300 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.759 as if like, oh, there must have been some mistake. It looks 301 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.519 like these are kids tickets. Uh. And this this this gentleman again, 302 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.440 he's probably sixty years old, looked at the looked at the guy and said 303 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.400 I'm a child of God, and you know what, they let him in 304 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.160 and I and I think that's I think that's I think that's a badass move. 305 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.480 I think that is a I mean like, you are a child of 306 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:40.839 God, therefore you have a child's ticket, and nobody can claim that that's 307 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:42.400 fraud. You are a child. I mean, we're all we're all children 308 00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:45.640 at some point, are we not? That is I'm sure there's some stipulations 309 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:48.880 when you actually select purchase a kids ticket that you know you have to be 310 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.279 a certain age. But you know, it's almost like they gave him It's 311 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:56.200 almost like they gave him credit for just attempting it, right. You know, 312 00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.720 like whenever you have you ever asked to order off the kids meal at 313 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:03.519 a embarrassed to do that. So my wife does that a lot because she 314 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:08.079 doesn't you know, she doesn't eat a ton, and you know it, 315 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:11.759 She's kind of always done that now that I think about it, and she 316 00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:17.279 asks sometimes and it makes me embarrassed, not because I'm like, oh, 317 00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:19.880 she's a child, but I maybe embarrassed is not the right word. It's 318 00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:25.559 more like there's a brief moment of like suspense. Are they gonna say yes, 319 00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.240 Are they gonna say hell no? Are they gonna get upset? Are 320 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.000 they gonna you know, most of the time they're like, yeah, that's 321 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.319 fine, I don't care, like, just make sure you tip me well, 322 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.680 Like that's usually the response that that people give. But you know, 323 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:40.880 I'm sure there are plenty of others that have tried that and they're like, 324 00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:42.799 you know, yeah, you sorry, you can't do that. I mean, 325 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.599 I guess you could do it, and they just tell you they'll charge 326 00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:47.440 you more. But I'm sure there's not like a you know, hey, 327 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:48.880 you can order off the kids meal if you're a grown ass man, but 328 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:51.960 we're gonna charge you five more bucks. Like, you know, I don't 329 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:53.240 think at that point, I don't think it would be worth it. So 330 00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:59.519 anyways, go out and check out the TBT again. It's a little pricey, 331 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:03.039 but you know, but I think it's worth it. And in fact, 332 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:06.119 let me see what I can do about maybe giving away a pair of 333 00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:08.960 tickets. I think I could make that work. I think I've got a 334 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:14.640 good enough relationship with Jake, the TBT PR guy, who's really i mean 335 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:17.960 not just PR. He's a jack of all trades. He's hugely involved in 336 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:21.519 everything related to this event, and he has been since day one. But 337 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:25.400 I would and we'll see, it's Christmas in July exactly, That's what I'll 338 00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:27.200 tell him. Hey, Jake, it's Christmas in July here at iHeart. 339 00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:30.359 Would you mind giving us a pair of tickets to give away? And you 340 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.240 know you think he's gonna say no. I mean he might, but only 341 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.759 one way to find out. Right now, I'm also going to try in 342 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.839 the next couple of days to get mister John Fanta in the house here to 343 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.240 join us in studio talk a little ball, not only if the TBT, 344 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.960 but you know, John Fanta is a rising star in the college basketball world 345 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.359 and he's gonna be on the call for Fox. And I kind of forgot 346 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.160 about this. This isn't just gonna be like on f S one or on 347 00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:00.039 a stream the game on Saturday at Freedom Hall with Peyton Siva, Smith Montrez 348 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.319 Harreld, Shane Bahannen. I mean a bunch of former Louisville players at Shannano 349 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:08.599 on Owaku. It's gonna be on Fox, like the actual Fox station. 350 00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:11.559 Like that's kind of crazy to me. It is pretty wild, you know, 351 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:17.279 Like this used to be an ESPN event, and ESPN Lowballdom and Fox 352 00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:19.720 gave them a great deal and Fox is gonna put them on like not just 353 00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:23.400 in you know, being on ESPN's great too, but like Fox is you 354 00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:26.039 know, it's a national network, so you know, it's a big, 355 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.240 big event, and I'm excited for it. I'm also excited for the rest 356 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:30.960 of the show. And I hope you guys stick around. We're gonna have 357 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:33.440 some fun today. We do have our first guest of the week going to 358 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.440 be joining us at four thirty. It'll be mister Kendrick Haskins from Way three. 359 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.079 Looking forward to to catching up with him. Something else I want to 360 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:45.599 get to here before too long is the amount of money that apparently was made 361 00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:51.519 from this EA Sports college football game. I mean, I think now we 362 00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:53.599 can see why they were very interested in bringing it back. I don't think 363 00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.640 they were hurting for money, but man, the amount of sales this thing 364 00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:02.079 has has racked up, just what you know, the first few days. 365 00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:08.160 It's crazy. Also, hot seat coaching rankings. There's no local coaches on 366 00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.079 the list. In fact, all three seem to be pretty comfortable. But 367 00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:18.160 I think the hot seat may not be a thing at least not like it 368 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.240 used to be. And there's a former coach from around here that happens to 369 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:25.599 be on this hot seat. And if you're a Cincinnati fan, like I 370 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:26.640 think, you just have to accept it. SAT's gonna be your guy. 371 00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:30.279 And I'll tell you why not that we're gonna, you know, break down 372 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:34.759 Cincinnati football. But cutaf Field is actually a good example of why if you 373 00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:37.920 are a fan that really hopes your school can find money to pay for a 374 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:42.519 buy out to get rid of a lousy coach. This new wave that's coming 375 00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:45.119 that's gonna make it a lot harder for these schools to fire a coach. 376 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.480 Right, stick around. It's Coffee and Company. Feel about Thortons right here 377 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.519 on Sports Talk seven ninety. That's right, Coffee and Company, that's us. 378 00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:56.039 We are fuel about Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Appreciate you 379 00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:59.359 hanging out with us, Nick Coffee, that's me the company man. Mister 380 00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:03.400 John Alden riding shotgun this morning, this afternoon, I don't want I said 381 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.279 this morning, sorry about that. It happens though, Yeah, it's it's 382 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.200 a rare slip and it's it's really it's really a bad look to do it. 383 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:14.640 I mean this. I mean we've been working together over a year and 384 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:17.160 a half. I've been I haven't worked in the mornings in a long time. 385 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:18.200 Yeah. I think it has anything to do with the fact that, 386 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:21.640 like, you're in kind of a dark room and it just could be feels 387 00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:25.960 like the morning could be. I don't mean I keep the light off in 388 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:33.160 here because we've got no joke. Six I'm sorry, five humongous televisions in 389 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.119 here that put off a ton of light. And then I have three humongous 390 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:37.279 monitors in front of me that also put off a lot of lights. Like 391 00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:41.480 it's not dark in here, it could just be you know, actually it 392 00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:44.680 doesn't illuminate it. Yeah, yeah, perfectly said. So you know I 393 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:48.519 actually like it like that. But I have learned that natural light in you 394 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.720 know, some kind of a window is not to sound corny, but like 395 00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.359 it's huge. It's huge for mood enhancement. Like whenever I just go to 396 00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:00.319 the basement in my house, which has no windows, I've got an office 397 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:03.160 down there. I've got like a studio setup as well, and sometimes I 398 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.200 can just get kind of lost in there and get stuff done, which is 399 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:08.880 what I need to do. But just if I'm down there for a few 400 00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:11.680 hours and I don't see any light from the windows or anything like that, 401 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:15.480 it's just it's depressing. So you know, maybe that is part of it. 402 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:22.160 Because regardless of morning, mid day or afternoon, the studio to me, 403 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.640 rather be here or at the old place, has always look the same 404 00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:29.079 and there's never been any windows. So anyways, it's not morning time, 405 00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:32.799 it's afternoon, and I appreciate you guys making us a part of your afternoon 406 00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:34.519 here. I also appreciate all of you who have reached out to my friends 407 00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:37.599 over at the Louis of Men's Clinic, because I've told you for a while 408 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.000 now how much they've helped me, and I know they're helping some of you 409 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:44.759 as well. So if you've not reached out to them just yet, that's 410 00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:48.599 okay. But just keep in mind there's probably a service that you could take 411 00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.799 advantage of that they offer at the Little of Men's Clinic. So fellas could 412 00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:56.319 be a rectatus function, low testosterone hair restoration. I mean, they do 413 00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:00.960 STD testing, they do i' IV therapy, like to get you hydrated. 414 00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:04.359 I mean, there's all kinds of ways they can help you. And one 415 00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:08.160 of the things is weight loss. And I stepped on the scale today once 416 00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:12.960 I got out of the shower, and I was down ten pounds from before 417 00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:17.279 I started doing the semi glue type program. And I don't feel like I 418 00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:19.920 hit on this enough because there's all kinds of different ways you can try to 419 00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:22.480 lose weight. There's all kinds of different diets, there's things, I mean, 420 00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:25.839 you know, and you can just do it if you're really, really 421 00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:30.559 a bad ass, you can just challenge yourself without any program to follow, 422 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.759 any supplement, any injection. You can just you know, do it, 423 00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.640 be a badass. I've tried it many times. Sometimes it's worked, but 424 00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.480 I never, you know, I never make a big enough change as far 425 00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:47.799 as lifestyle to where I can maintain like a low weight that I want to 426 00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:49.720 be at. You know, I've never ballooned up to be three hundred pounds. 427 00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:52.720 But you know, I'm somebody that at times I can really dig, 428 00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.279 you know, dig down and just work my ass off in the gym and 429 00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:00.480 really follow a strict diet and see results. And that's where just like a 430 00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:03.839 personal accomplishment, but it also feels good to be in shape and you know, 431 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:06.279 feel good about yourself. But sure enough, once I've you know, 432 00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:11.279 hit that goal, two months go by and you know I've I've lost some 433 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.400 of that hard work that I put in. And that's not really anybody's fault. 434 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:17.599 I mean, I guess it's mine. But more than anything, it's 435 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:19.160 just, you know, it's not as convenient, especially when you get a 436 00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:23.119 lot going on to live in the gym and you know, really meal prep 437 00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.759 and eat super healthy. I mean, I feel like it's less convenient to 438 00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:29.559 eat healthy than it ever has now. If you want to, if you 439 00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:30.400 really want to put in work, you can do it. But like a 440 00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:33.240 lot of people have time. So what I'm getting at here is that this 441 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.359 semi glute type program, it's an injection that you give yourself each week. 442 00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.640 It makes the lifestyle change for you because you won't want to eat as much. 443 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:45.279 I mean a lot of people that I know that have never had to 444 00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:51.079 do anything when it comes to working out or strictly dieting, and they've they've 445 00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:56.400 always maintained a pretty good weight one they clearly have good metabolism. But also 446 00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:00.279 it's portion control, like they just don't. I mean, we eat too 447 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.359 much in America, like the portion size for everything. We eat here in 448 00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.839 this country. I mean, it's it's it's the biggest factor in why we 449 00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:10.039 are a fat ass country, if we're being honest. I mean, that's 450 00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:12.839 just the truth. So you know, you like, I don't, I 451 00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:15.519 don't diet. I mean I watch what I eat, always will, just 452 00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:18.680 because more than anything, when I got to be a little bit older, 453 00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:23.160 eating bad not only was you know, a negative thing because it would make 454 00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:27.119 me gain weight, but also it would make me feel like crap. So 455 00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:30.759 I'm a little mindful of that kind of stuff. But now like I'm not, 456 00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:32.759 I just don't eat as much. Like I know that I can go 457 00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:34.000 and split a meal at a restaurant with my wife and I'm going to be 458 00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:38.759 completely full. So it changes your metabolism, it changes your appetite. You're 459 00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:41.400 not just gonna want to sit around and snack. I mean you might if 460 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:45.200 you're bored, but it's not gonna because you're actually hungry. And that's the 461 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.119 thing. If you do start snacking and just shoving your face with chips or 462 00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.720 whatnot, you'll start to feel miserable because you're you're not supposed to be eating 463 00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:53.960 that much. So you know, I've had that happen once or twice throughout 464 00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:56.680 the last few weeks since I've been on the program, and it's made me 465 00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:00.519 realize, Okay, don't do that again. Don't don't you know, don't 466 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:03.279 shove your face with food when you know you're not hungry, because you'll just 467 00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:07.839 have a stomach ache and you know you'll regret it. So again, I've 468 00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:12.759 down ten pounds in three weeks. I mean, not as if you guys 469 00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:15.839 can't tell. I'm sure you can tell just about you know, looking at 470 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.640 men. And I say that jokingly because you can't see me, but I 471 00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:21.440 know John's been, I mean, John's been just looking at me like he 472 00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:23.759 doesn't recognize me because I'm because I'm just down so much weight. But in 473 00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:26.920 all seriousness, Louivill Men's Clinic can help you out, So give him a 474 00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:29.599 call if I would. Two four four four four thousand. Check them out 475 00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:33.920 online at Louisville Men's Clinic dot com. All right, so this new EA 476 00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:37.759 Sports college football game has come up every day in the last week. I 477 00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.720 feel like on this show, and I know We're not alone here. I 478 00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:47.440 mean, I think every sports show in the country is mentioning just the me. 479 00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:51.640 It really is one of the biggest stories in sports. That sounds crazy 480 00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:53.680 because it's not really a sports story, but when it comes to the culture 481 00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:57.319 here in America in regards to the sports we love, college football is one 482 00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:00.440 of them. In this video game, I think there's so many people my 483 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.799 age or older or maybe a little younger. John, You're a lot younger 484 00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:06.880 than me, but I feel like there's even people your age that are probably 485 00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:10.119 in this same category that, like the gaming phase just kind of faded for 486 00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:12.400 them, right, Like they may have a system, they may be familiar, 487 00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.119 but it's just not something that they really do as a hobby. Well, 488 00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:21.039 now this game has given them that nostalgia you mentioned Billy going out and 489 00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:26.119 splurgeing on a new system. I mean, like, there's clearly a desire 490 00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.920 to buy this game and you know, spend some time doing it. And 491 00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:34.839 I'm it's weird to me, But I don't when I say weird, I 492 00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:38.640 don't mean it in like a like I'm not insulting anybody. And now I'm 493 00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:41.400 gonna tiptoe when I talk about it because I don't want any that text yesterday 494 00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.319 that we got hopefully that they didn't text in Uh, they haven't texted in 495 00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.279 since, But I don't feel as if I was ever truly making fun of 496 00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.119 people for wanting to really spend a ton of time playing this video game. 497 00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:56.119 If I came off that way, I apologize, As I always say, 498 00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:57.640 there's things that I love doing that you guys would probably think is lame. 499 00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:00.319 And I'm not even saying I never said it lame to play it. I've 500 00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.200 just mentioned that I can't really relate because I've never been a gamer really at 501 00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:07.599 any level, right, And that's just because again, everybody has their own 502 00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:11.119 preferences. So this is weird to me. But it's also kind of, 503 00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:15.519 you know, kind of awesome in a way. And it's another example of 504 00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:19.440 how realistic they make this game when it comes to you know this, what 505 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:26.039 is it called the mode that's uh Road to Glory? I mean the you've 506 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:29.960 got like text messages that come in, like not on your actual phone, 507 00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.200 but like you'll be playing the game and you know, I don't know how, 508 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:34.160 I don't know how it gets to that, but like a girl that 509 00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:38.160 you know that you met at a party has texted you, like you're tempted 510 00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:42.359 to do things that might not be what a student athlete should be when he's 511 00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:45.039 got a game coming up, and if you, you know, make a 512 00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.599 decision that you know a lot of kids would probably make, but might be 513 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.039 a risk as they could get in trouble, like you roll on the dice 514 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:53.039 and you could get yourself in trouble. I don't know. I just think 515 00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:57.359 it's I just think it's it's wild. There was a guy who was sharing 516 00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:00.680 his and that's another thing people people could. I guess you could back then 517 00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:04.720 in twenty fourteen, was that the era of gaming to where you could actually 518 00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:08.400 like stream it live while you're playing it. I think you could. It 519 00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:11.720 wasn't as big of a market as like there wasn't Twitch back then, like 520 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:15.039 you could probably just actually I don't even I guess you could have done on 521 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.200 YouTube. Yeah maybe, But now like it's a huge thing, right like 522 00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:21.119 TikTok and Instagram and of course Twitch. That's what Twitch is really for. 523 00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:25.880 I mean, there are a million people at any moment in America live streaming 524 00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:29.039 some games they're playing, and I'm sure there's even more now because of this 525 00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:32.880 this video game that that came out. But yeah, we mentioned that the 526 00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:40.079 plagiarism thing. This is somebody who shared the picture they're showing their TV screen, 527 00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:44.519 but on their TV screen is a phone that you know has it, 528 00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:47.160 says Chad classmate, Like it looks like I mean, it looks like a 529 00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:48.599 real phone, but it says, you know, hey, I know we 530 00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:53.319 had a sociology paper and presentation. Do I just found a website where people 531 00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:56.839 have already done these figured it'd save you some time by just using one of 532 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.400 them. So then you got to like decide are you going to back that 533 00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:06.160 you're gonna do it or not? And everybody who has shared it has showed 534 00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:07.759 that they've gotten caught, So I don't know it is. It's not as 535 00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:10.079 fun if you like, you know, no matter what, you're gonna get 536 00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:12.920 caught. But if you roll the dice and you get away with it, 537 00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.960 you might feel like, man, I you know, it really can let 538 00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:21.000 you escape reality in a way that I've never known a video game to do 539 00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:22.400 that. Right, Like this is next. This isn't like you know the 540 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:27.400 sims or you're building the house and a family like this is like you're really 541 00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.279 caught up in the game on the sticks, living as if you're an everyday 542 00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:37.000 high level college football player. It's crazy. Another guy shared this was a 543 00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:38.799 I can't play because these people curse all up when they play video games. 544 00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:43.839 I hope young kids aren't watching. But he's texting back and forth with his 545 00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:45.880 girl and like, you know, she's really interested in him and trying to 546 00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:49.920 like get him to be bad and you know, go out after curfew when 547 00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:52.039 the team's not supposed to be leaving the dorm. And you know, he 548 00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.599 told her that he was, you know, gonna he made the right decision, 549 00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:00.920 right. He's thinking team first and responsibility priority is going to take the 550 00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:02.680 you know is going to lead, and you know you're going to be a 551 00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:06.240 distraction. So I'm going to not go to the party. Uh. And 552 00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:09.359 then he gets blocked like a girl texting it shows that she blocked his number. 553 00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:14.319 So now he's like, damn not. You know, that's should I 554 00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:15.759 should I have taken her up on her offer to go out and party or 555 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:20.680 something. So, uh, knowing my personality, like I might just you 556 00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:23.799 know, if I get into this game, I might really I might really 557 00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:28.799 just you know, lock myself in a room and just let that be my 558 00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.519 new life. I'm a I'm an up and coming college football player. It's 559 00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:35.039 crazy now, speaking of the money that was made. That's one of the 560 00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:38.640 reasons I wanted to bring up the game once again. So the see here 561 00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:45.480 this says this is from bro Bible. It says EA Sports College Football twenty 562 00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:47.640 five doesn't officially get released till Friday, but the three day rollout is already 563 00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:51.960 underway. Early figures from the first day of the release show just how hungry 564 00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:54.680 sports gamers were for the first NSAA football game in over a decade. Those 565 00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:59.279 players who purchased the Deluction Edition, have the MVP Bundle or have EA play 566 00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:02.119 Access, We're able to start playing on Monday, and EA servers crashed shortly 567 00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:05.799 after the game went live. I hadn't heard about that. It also says 568 00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:08.880 at one point on Monday night, over seven hundred thousand players were online playing 569 00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:14.639 the game, a figure that doesn't include those players playing offline. Think about 570 00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:16.840 it. If you're playing not online with other people and you're just playing, 571 00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:21.719 I mean like that, that's I would assume there's maybe more people doing that 572 00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:24.039 than those that are playing online. But if you do the math here they 573 00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:30.679 break it down that just that seven hundred and fourteen thousand player figure when you 574 00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:34.119 consider that the Early Access package costs one hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars, 575 00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:37.760 and you average the two to one hundred and twenty five and then multiply 576 00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:42.159 you get your first day dollar figure of eighty nine million, two hundred and 577 00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:46.159 fifty thousand dollars. So, I mean, you can make a lot of 578 00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:49.559 money on video games. I'm sure there's a lot of cost that goes into 579 00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:53.400 it, but man like it probably I mean, again I'm referenced. I'm 580 00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:55.920 thinking about this for the first time, like ever, because I've never been 581 00:34:55.960 --> 00:35:00.440 interested in video games. It's probably something that's rather obvious to a lot of 582 00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:02.519 people who are in de tech into video games. But it's got to be 583 00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:06.119 a billion dollar business, Like I mean, the amount of money you can 584 00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:08.639 make on a successful game because everybody's gonna buy it. Doesn't appear that there's 585 00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:14.039 like any way you can you can rip DVDs and you can you know, 586 00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:15.639 get an i llegal stream, right, there's a legal stream to like can 587 00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:20.239 I don't know, maybe there is a dark web where you can get video 588 00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:22.960 games without paying for them, but if so, I'm not going with a 589 00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:25.039 lot of older stuff you can. That's that's the type of gaming I do, 590 00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:29.239 which is which is what like you could, like like you can put 591 00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:32.760 an emulator on the phone or computer and you can download they call them ROMs. 592 00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:37.599 It's you just commit, commit to something. Did you commit a video 593 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:42.960 game? LimeWire in a way that sounds pretty cool. But there are websites 594 00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:45.239 that have been shut down. But get in trouble, John, Oh, 595 00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:49.159 if they come for me, then if they come for you, I mean, 596 00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:53.400 I mean you you do better in prison than me. I think you 597 00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:57.840 got a beer that's a little more intimidating than anything, like another half a 598 00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:00.880 foot to really be intimidated. That really? So is it like old school 599 00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:01.639 games, like games you used to play when you were younger? Oh? 600 00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:05.400 Yeah, yeah, that be that would actually be pretty cool on nost trip, 601 00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:07.559 Yeah, that would be awesome. Man. You give me, you 602 00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:12.039 give me a Sega Genesis controller and you know Sonic the Hedgehog. I'd be 603 00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:15.400 right back in second grade. Be a lot of fun. All right, 604 00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:16.239 We're gonna have a lot of fun the rest of the way, at least 605 00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:19.559 we're gonna try. So please stick with us, don't go anywhere, don't 606 00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:22.199 forget. You can take us with you.

That's gonna say 610 00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:34.360 I let's say Kent Spencer. Well, we'll have him back soon, but 611 00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:37.880 today it's Kendrick Haskins data Sean from Way three Sports, so we'll talk to 612 00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:40.840 him at four thirty right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. That's right, 613 00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:45.679 coffee and company rolling along here on a Wednesday afternoon. Appreciate you hanging out 614 00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:51.840 with us here on Sports Talk seven ninety. So thank you to uh let 615 00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:53.159 me get the name right here, Sean who wrote in to tell me that 616 00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:58.360 tick pic doesn't have any fees and you just pay for what you what you 617 00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:00.920 see. And I don't know if they're selling I don't think they're selling tickets 618 00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:04.039 to the to the tvt on there. I don't know. Maybe they are. 619 00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:05.719 I don't know if you buy them and you want to resell them, 620 00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:08.039 maybe they're there. But we were talking earlier about the fees, you know, 621 00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:12.320 whether it's stub Hub, Vivid Seats, ticket Master of course, like 622 00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:15.400 not only are you going to pay, you know, probably a good amount 623 00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:19.119 for a ticket. You're also going to be hit with you know, service 624 00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:22.360 charge, tax fees. You know. Heck, if you don't use the 625 00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:24.920 mobile and you like print them out, they'd charge you for that too, 626 00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:29.159 which is I don't even think that's an option on most places anymore. Yeah, 627 00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:34.039 I guess you're right. I think you you can print and on your 628 00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:37.840 own and well you could probably print your ticket on your own piece of paper 629 00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:40.559 that has that barcode. But yeah, like days of getting like an actual, 630 00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:44.599 like you know, ticket in your hand, it's not something you printed 631 00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:45.960 from your printer at home. Like, I haven't seen one of those in 632 00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:49.320 a long time. I mean, I guess if you go to the ticket 633 00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:52.119 office, they do that, don't they. If they do, I'm glad 634 00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:54.679 because even though I haven't done that method in so long, it is nice 635 00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:58.800 to kind of like hold that physical ticket to something you really want to go 636 00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:02.320 to. Yeah. Actually, whenever my wife and I went to Indianapolis in 637 00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:07.119 February and February it was January, we ended up doing the double We did 638 00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:12.119 the double double header, We went to the Pacers Celtics game, and then 639 00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:16.360 we ended up leaving and going to catch the majority of the Colts Texans game, 640 00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:21.320 and we didn't have tickets to the football game, so we ended up 641 00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:23.280 just going to the ticket office, and I remember they gave us actual tickets, 642 00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:25.639 and I remember thinking to myself, I can't remember the last time I 643 00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:30.119 actually held a ticket, because I mean we're talking, you know, ten 644 00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:31.599 years plus. As far as like, when you have a ticket, it's 645 00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:35.800 going to be on your phone. I used to save the physical tickets I 646 00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:37.360 would get in as sort of like a collection. Yeah, I mean it 647 00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.320 wasn't massive, but it was maybe twenty of different things I've been to over 648 00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:44.559 the year. Sports concerts, oh, no doubt. We bought tickets off 649 00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:49.039 the street in New York City for the Big East Tournament in twenty thirteen, 650 00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:52.840 and we ended up doing that for every game we went to, and in 651 00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:55.760 fact, we ended up we knew Louisville was going to end up knocking out 652 00:38:55.800 --> 00:38:59.440 well at least we felt good about it. They knocked off Notre Dame and 653 00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:02.480 then and then they played Syracuse in the in the championship game, and we 654 00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:07.960 ended up saying, Okay, we've been Thursday, Friday, let's or we've 655 00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:12.320 been I guess it was we've been Wednesday Thursday and Wednesday low Wood and play, 656 00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:14.800 but we still went. But we went Wednesday Thursday, and then we 657 00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:16.800 said, okay, we're not going to go Friday because we know tickets are 658 00:39:16.840 --> 00:39:21.400 going to be insanely expensive for the last ever you know, original Big East 659 00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:23.840 Championship game Syracuse. The New York School of course was in it too, 660 00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:28.639 So we ended up saving money and knowing we were going to pay a pretty 661 00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:30.480 penny for that game. And I still have that ticket actually hanging up in 662 00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:34.679 my with some of my other U of L twenty thirteen, you know, 663 00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:38.000 gear I got some shirts and stuff, and I got a plaque that has 664 00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:43.079 like a commemorative picture of that championship team. So yeah, shout out to 665 00:39:43.199 --> 00:39:45.880 those that still give you a physical ticket. All right, let's see, 666 00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:49.920 not a whole lot of time left here in the in the three o'clock hour, 667 00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:53.400 but I do want to quickly bring up something that that came in. 668 00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:57.599 I think this might have been from a earlier in the week during the SEC 669 00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:00.079 media day, but I know I know that I had I had mentioned that 670 00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:05.000 Nick Saban picked Texas in Georgia to be in the SEC Championship game, which 671 00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.800 is not a bold prediction. I mean, that's probably what a lot of 672 00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:10.280 people are project projecting given the fact that those are the two those are the 673 00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:14.960 two best teams. You know that that that I mean, those are probably 674 00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:16.039 two of the best teams in the country. And usually the SEC has a 675 00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:20.000 lot of good teams. But with Bama, you know, not you know, 676 00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:23.239 not being quite as good last year, and obviously life without Nick Saban, 677 00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:27.559 they're still going to be good. I think Klein de Boor is am 678 00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:30.000 I saying I always say his name wrong. I say de Boer and it's 679 00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:34.199 de Boor, Yeah, like a bora animal de Boor, but it's spelled 680 00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:37.679 like the way you're pronouncing it. And I feel like if he was coaching 681 00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:42.000 anywhere other than Washington and his name was mentioned more, I would it would 682 00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:44.920 be you know, routine, it would be something I would just know how 683 00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:47.000 to say. But I guess it's like PAC twelve West Coast bias. But 684 00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:50.559 he'll he'll be good there. Now, will he be Saban? I'm not 685 00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:52.760 sure because I don't know if anybody can. I mean, Nick Saban is 686 00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:55.559 probably the best coach of all time. But anyways, uh, one of 687 00:40:55.599 --> 00:41:01.079 the players for for for Georgia, I'm sorry for Alabama. Tyler Booker. 688 00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:06.440 He found out that Nick Saban did not pick the Crimson Tide to go to 689 00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:08.639 the championship game and he didn't like that. So this is from one of 690 00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:15.599 the one of those that's covering the SEC media days down there in Actually I'm 691 00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:17.199 not even sure where it's taking place. It's not in Hoover anymore. Is 692 00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:20.679 it used to be in Hoover Hoover, Alabama, which is a really random 693 00:41:20.679 --> 00:41:23.079 place to have it. But anyways, this is from Alex Scarborough, a 694 00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:27.840 college flaw writer covering Bama for twenty four seven Sports. He says, Tyler 695 00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:30.960 Booker bringing the heat. I asked how he felt about Saban not predicting Alabama 696 00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:34.920 to make the SEC title game. Quote. He always used to say, 697 00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:37.360 don't let some guy that lives in their mom's basement determine how you feel. 698 00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:40.159 So I'm not going to let some guy who plays golf all day determine how 699 00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:45.559 I feel. Saban is golfing, I mean, he's living the retired life. 700 00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:49.000 In fact, I just saw tweet just a moment ago from Ross Ellinger 701 00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:52.880 who pointed out Nick Saban spends many of his mornings golfing. He hits the 702 00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:55.920 course around seven thirty am with a couple of hours. Within a couple of 703 00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:00.920 hours, his wife is texting him his deduced his do is for the day 704 00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:04.480 quote, I can't get to the ninth hole without getting a text of this 705 00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:06.559 what you got to do the rest of the day? At least let me 706 00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:13.599 finish my round. And there's something awesome about you know, these larger than 707 00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:16.519 life figures within the world of sports. Again. Nick Saban, in my 708 00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:20.360 opinion, is the best college football coach of all time. I don't know, 709 00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:22.840 I don't think that's a strong opinion. I'd say most people would agree. 710 00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:25.239 But to know, like he's he's out golfing like a lot of people 711 00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:29.400 who are just you know, retired, and his wife's sending him things he 712 00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:30.840 needs to get done for the day, the honeydew list, like you know, 713 00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:36.440 he's one of us. There's some cool about that. And he's gonna 714 00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:37.599 be great on TV by the way, I know I talked about earlier this 715 00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:42.440 week, and he's continued to give great coverage for the SEC network. Because 716 00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:45.039 one nobody's gonna question if he you know, if he knows what he's talking 717 00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:50.800 about again. His credential speak for themselves, and you know he's he's sharp, 718 00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:52.320 right, I think you could be the best coach in the world with 719 00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:54.840 the best resume of all time. That means you're gonna be great on TV. 720 00:42:54.960 --> 00:42:59.880 And I think I think Saban has already kind of adjusted nicely. But 721 00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:01.840 it will be interesting though, is whenever, like we get to games and 722 00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:07.280 whatnot, can he be truly objective? I think you can tell yourself you're 723 00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:08.599 gonna be truly objective. You know this, I mean he he was out 724 00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:13.079 of Hima football for a really really long time. Although you know, if 725 00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:19.239 they struggled and uh you know, Caitlin uh deboor, they did they do 726 00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:22.320 right de boor if he struggles, that actually makes saman look even better. 727 00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:24.199 Probably all right, we got two more hours left, so stick around. 728 00:43:24.239 --> 00:43:30.239 We'll talk about these hot seat rankings on the other side. Get to the 729 00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:32.239 text line.
