00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:08.640
It's time for Coffee and Company,
fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven nine

2
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:21.679
day. Now here's Nick Coffee.
All right, let's get it started hour

3
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.760
number two here on a Wednesday afternoon
Coffee and Company that is us. My

4
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:29.559
name is Nick Coffee, the company
man mister John all on alongside today and

5
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.560
we are fueled by Thornton's. So
let's just dive right in here. I

6
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.200
asked this question yesterday on the show
I Believe in the four o'clock hour,

7
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.880
got some good responses, and then
I opened it up today to social media

8
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:46.159
on Facebook and on Twitter, asking
people who is the most random celebrity that

9
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:52.439
they've seen in Louisville for Derby?
Rather it be this year, which probably

10
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.079
not yet because you know it's Wednesday, but doesn't even have to be somebody

11
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.560
who saw at Derby. Just somebody
you saw in Louisville and you're like,

12
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.119
well, they're obviously here for or
for the Kentucky Derby. And some really

13
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.120
good responses have come in. I'll
share some of them. This is from

14
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.840
Danny Sinnaart who says former seventy six
are great. Matt Geiger and he saw

15
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.640
him in the infield. Could totally
see that, and that is like super

16
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.840
random. If I'm being honest with
you, google Matt Geiger John because I

17
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.920
know you have no clue who that
is. But he played for the Sixers,

18
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.319
one of the big white guys in
the NBA in the nineties. There

19
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:27.439
was a lot more of him back
then. And he looks like a dude

20
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.719
who would be partying in the infield, a man of the people. He'd

21
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:36.040
be pounding some bush locks. Yeah, absolutely, this says a Rishard Lewis.

22
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.519
See, I don't know if the
professional athletes it is random, but

23
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:42.760
it's also like, you know,
it's kind of not though, right,

24
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.359
Like it's like niche depending on how
like you know what your interests are.

25
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.840
So I would say, just in
my time covering Derby the last eight years,

26
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.959
when I'm there for you know,
a few hours of it, it's

27
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.159
not like I've seen countless celebrities,
but you know, the majority of those

28
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.879
that I have seen are NFL players, guys who played in the NFL or

29
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:05.439
or are still playing in the NFL. Tony Cruz says Diane Lane in the

30
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:12.800
Elevator when she was promoting the movie
Secretariat. That's certainly a legendary celebrity.

31
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.240
Rick says, Doctor Jay walking through
the crowd on the first turn Bill Bellamy

32
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.840
in front of him in a betting
line. Those are those are pretty like

33
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.439
Bill Bellamy. Man, that's a
forgotten comedian. I'm trying to think of

34
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:29.840
what, like what the Bill Bellamy
era was, But like, I feel

35
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:31.400
like when I was a kid in
the nineties, he was he you know,

36
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.919
that's when he kind of had his
his run where he was one of

37
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.800
the more known comics. Was he
on in Living Color? I feel like

38
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.560
he was a part of some show
that that, you know, kind of

39
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.639
kept him in the limelight for a
while. He was on Deaf Comedy Jam.

40
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.280
Maybe that's what really elevated him.
But that I'd consider that to be

41
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.840
you know, a random celebrity.
Brooke Burke from e TV. I remember

42
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.680
that name. I'm not sure if
I would recognize her. To be honest

43
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.680
with you, this says, what
about girlfriend shared an elevator with Tom Brady

44
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:06.240
during Derby Week. She sent me
a selfie with him. Yeah, I

45
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:10.280
mean that's not random though, Like
that's a super super famous celebrity who is

46
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.800
always a Derby. Like again,
it's cool to see a celebrity, but

47
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.080
that's not you greave me John like
that, it's not random. Yeah,

48
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.120
I mean it's what is random.
My wife works Derby and Oaks every year

49
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:22.000
as one of the tellers, I
guess is what it's called. And she

50
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.759
was exchanging. Your wife works the
window at for Millionaire's Row. Yes,

51
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.039
I didn't know that. Yeah,
she's done it for the last maybe five

52
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.800
or hours. She get in on
that. So her mom has also done

53
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.520
it for an even longer amount of
time, and she kind of got grandfathered

54
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.159
into it. I guess. I
mean she must. I mean she must

55
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:39.439
see a lot of celebrities, right, she sees a lot of people.

56
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:43.199
I think last year she met the
governor. But a couple of years ago

57
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.680
Tom Brady was frequently going to her
window, and not until after everything was

58
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.680
over did somebody mentioning, Hey,
tom Brady was at your window all day

59
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.719
and you had no idea. See. I would imagine in that spot you're

60
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.319
gonna see people that you assume are
famous, but you don't really know what

61
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.560
from, right, or you may
recognize somebody but you can't remember what it's

62
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.759
from, are you. So if
you saw a celebrity, uh, let's

63
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:11.800
say you ran into I don't know
the guy. We didn't know his name

64
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.160
Rip from Yellowstone. He's going to
be at the Barnstable party, So you

65
00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:18.360
would recognize him, right, I
wouldn't. You wouldn't, Okay, Oh,

66
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.199
I'm sorry, I thought you watched
Yellowstone. I'm just trying to think

67
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.399
of somebody, uh, you know
Kit Moore. Would you recognize him?

68
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:26.480
I know who he is. No, he's a country singer, but I

69
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.600
wouldn't. I'm not sure I recognize
him either. I know I know him,

70
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:31.720
but I wouldn't be able to.
I wouldn't be able to figure take

71
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.720
me forever to figure out who he
is. I'm trying to think of somebody

72
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:38.279
that you know, like Dustin Lynch
or something. How about let's do this.

73
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.360
Let's say you saw Let's say you
saw Donovan Mitchell at the derby.

74
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:49.040
Okay, would you say anything to
him? As somebody who's not a Louisville

75
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:54.120
fan? I wouldn't feel like I
would need to. Well, and plus

76
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.079
he doesn't he doesn't care. Maybe
that's not a Maybe that's not all he

77
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.600
cares about who you are? Trust
me? Oh yeah, but but I'm

78
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.560
who's one of your Who's an actor? That Ben Stiller? You know be

79
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.199
still is right, that's a good
one. If you saw Ben Stiller,

80
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.839
would you say anything to him?
Like would you ask for a picture?

81
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.240
Would you say, Hey, that's
Ben Stiller? Would you ask for an

82
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.199
autograph? I would have to It
would have to be the right moment,

83
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:16.079
Yeah, like I would be.
It would be one of those things where

84
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.399
I'm maybe in the corner. I
mean the corner seems a little creepy.

85
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.240
I just kind of scoping it out, just waiting the corner, staring at

86
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.399
him, seeing what he's doing,
and if he seems like he's enjoying himself

87
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:30.279
and you know, approachable, I
guess i'd probably say hello. So it's

88
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.199
just not my like I I wouldn't
know what to say, so like,

89
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:40.160
I'm an introvert, so therefore I'm
I'm not one to just chat up anybody.

90
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.399
And yeah, I could get wide
eyed if I saw a celebrity like

91
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.399
wow, like that's that. I
can't believe I'm right in front of him.

92
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.199
But I other than hello, like
I wouldn't. I wouldn't know what

93
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.839
to say other than hey, I'm
a meal. I guess I could say

94
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.240
hey, I'm a big fan,
but like you know, there are people

95
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.920
that I would ask for a picture
if they would do it. But I

96
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.079
also kind of feel like, if
they're there and they're super famous, they

97
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:08.160
they've taken enough pictures before they even
enter the track, and they're probably not

98
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.240
wanting to do that, and I
wouldn't want to be rude. And I

99
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:15.360
have a fear. I have a
fear of meeting somebody that I really really

100
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:17.600
really like and then hating them because
they're jerks. And I shouldn't say hate

101
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.920
because you know, they'd have to
probably be an ultimate ahole for me to

102
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:26.480
like think that they're the worst person
ever. But Reggie Miller was my idol

103
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.279
growing up as a kid. Loved
him, I mean still love Reggie.

104
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.680
My favorite basketball player of all time. Love Reggie Miller. And in twenty

105
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:38.360
nineteen, Louisville played in Des Moines
in the NCAA tournament and Reggie was you

106
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.000
know, works for Turner and he
was on the call and during the open

107
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:46.000
practice for fans, he was there
and I was on the court getting some

108
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:53.519
video clips and whatnot, and Dino
Gattio of all people, walked Kristin Cunningham

109
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:57.839
over to see Reggie Miller, and
you know, I mean Honestly, Dino

110
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.879
was just being a great coach and
wanted wanted Reggie to know before the game,

111
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.720
this is my point guard and he's
you know, he's a great guy.

112
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:09.079
And Reggie like fanned out just to
be nice to Kristen, you know,

113
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.839
and just you know, like,
oh wow, man, and actually

114
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:15.240
had the video. Knew I knew
Kristen's I still know his brother pretty well,

115
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:16.680
and I remember sharing that video with
him, and you know, it's

116
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.199
a moment they'll always have because it's
Reggie Miller telling Cunningham he wishes he could

117
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.759
have played with him because he knows
he would have been able to get a

118
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.199
bunch of shots, because that's the
good of a point guard's that's an NBA

119
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.399
legend who Kristin never watched him,
sure, because he's so young. But

120
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.240
you know, that was cool for
me to see. But I never wanted

121
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.519
to approach him and say anything myself
because I'd heard that he's not nice to

122
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:39.040
people, and I did. I
mean, it's corny as it sounds.

123
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.319
It would kill me if Reggie Miller
was a jerk to me, like,

124
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.240
because it's the first athlete I ever
was a super fan of, like a

125
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.360
young kid who I mean, I
pretended to be him recreating his shots against

126
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:54.360
the Nicks in my driveway. So
I'd rather not know. But that'd be

127
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.439
terrifying. But that was a cool
experience for me to see that because at

128
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.680
least gave me I got a first
hand glimpse with nobody filming or nobody really

129
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:03.720
like. It wasn't on TV.
It wasn't you know, it wasn't for

130
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.879
show. I mean, I videoed
it, but I was twenty yards away

131
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:11.240
on the other side of the court, you know, So you know I

132
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.240
would if I saw somebody I really
liked, my instincts would probably just be

133
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.759
not to say anything because I wouldn't
want to have a different impression. And

134
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.079
if they if they were to say
no things, I don't want to take

135
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.319
a picture or you know, sorry
I'm busy or you know, that wouldn't

136
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.279
make them a jerk. It's just
I have my own view of them,

137
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.160
and I'd rather stay that way,
right, same thing about Jerry Seinfeld.

138
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.519
I love Jerry Seinfeld. I've always
heard he's a jerk to people, and

139
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.399
I don't want I would never want
that. I would never want to have

140
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.639
that, you know, I'd never
want because at that point, the only

141
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.360
thing you'll think of is, man, I met my hero and he's a

142
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.080
jerk, right, Like you don't
want that. But there's not many people

143
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.240
like I. I've never gotten an
autograph from a celebrity that I've met.

144
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.960
I used to get autographs like the
Kentucky Derby Festival Classic, the basketball event,

145
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.360
because that's all the kids did.
They lined up and got autographs.

146
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.120
But the autograph's gone away. I
mean, memorabilia that is signed by like

147
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.720
an athlete, cool, But if
you're not an athlete, Like, is

148
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.720
there a memorabilia for like celebrities that
are actors and musicians, like I guess

149
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.559
there is, Like maybe you get
a signed album of them or something,

150
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.519
or assigned picture if it's a famous
actor or actress, But now the autograph's

151
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.360
been replaced by the picture. Everybody
wants to get a picture on their phone

152
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.799
with a celebrity they see, and
that's cool because then you can share that

153
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.320
forever and you can have it.
And but I just I don't, you

154
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.799
know, it's not my personality to
ask a stranger to take a picture with

155
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:26.960
me, no matter who they are. I don't know if it just it's

156
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.279
not me, But I have noticed
that if you know, I'll ask somebody

157
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.600
to take a picture of my kid, even if they don't know who it

158
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.440
is. Right, it's fine,
you know. It's just you mentioned Scott

159
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.399
Stapp earlier. That's somebody that I
think I would try to make my way

160
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.840
and say hello too. Yeah,
and by all accounts he's apparently really nice

161
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.320
to people. Yes, so yeah, we'll get This is one more I

162
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.000
wanted to read. And for those
just now joining us, I've asked people

163
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.159
to share the most random celebrity siding
that they've ever had during Derby Week over

164
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.919
the years. Doesn't have to be
at Churchill, but just somebody around town.

165
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.799
This is from tm Y Yates on
Twitter. Says Jeff Bezos at Savice

166
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.919
a few years ago that would be
I mean, I feel like I would

167
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:13.080
be able to spot Jeff Bezos,
But what do people say to him?

168
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:18.200
Like he's super famous because of his
business, but like do we know a

169
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.879
lot about his personality? Like what
would you say to Jeff Bezos, Hey,

170
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.320
congrats on being stupid rich bro.
Yeah. People might throw, they

171
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.720
might hurl insotes, insult or you
might say like, hey, I'm a

172
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.600
big fan of like you know,
hey, I love Amazon. I use

173
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.840
it every day, Like what are
you to He's super famous, but like,

174
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:37.600
I don't really know what the line
would be, like, Hey,

175
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.080
you can't say I loved you in
this movie or I'm a big fan of

176
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.639
this and that. I mean,
I guess you say I'm a big fan

177
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:46.320
of Amazon. This is this is
maybe the best one yet. This is

178
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.960
a Twitter account called John Robicks hair
Emmanuel Lewis at a restaurant. So Emmanuel

179
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:56.200
Lewis is Webster from the TV show
way way back in the day. If

180
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:00.519
you're not familiar John, you can
look him up. He's he's a retired

181
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.960
actor now, but he yeah,
I'm not I don't want to be.

182
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.639
Uh, he looks he's always looked
like a really young kid despite not being

183
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.840
really young. I don't know if
it's a condition or what it is,

184
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.000
but uh, he was in Webster
for you know, in the eighties and

185
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.960
was a big star. And you
know that's somebody that even like I didn't

186
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:20.519
watch Webster, I wasn't around,
but I you know, there's put it

187
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.559
this way. There's things that it
might have been my dad who told me

188
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.080
this the other day, and he's
right. There's a lot of stuff from

189
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:33.519
the eighties early nineties that I didn't
live to see live, but I know

190
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.000
all about it. And it's because
when I was a young kid, the

191
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.000
Internet didn't exist, so I watched
what was on reruns all the time,

192
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.559
like if you know that it was. So kids who have the Internet,

193
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.320
like, they're not watching stuff that
was made because they get other they can

194
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.720
occupy themselves with their tablets and games, video games, that kind of stuff.

195
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:52.840
So I remember Webster watching it on
reruns on like Nicket Night or TV

196
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.000
Land whatever it was. But you
know, it was on during the eighties

197
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.519
before I was born, I believe, all right. So for those just

198
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.320
now joining the party here Coffee and
Company, fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk

199
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:09.799
seven ninety a busy, busy day
on the transfer portal, watch Kentucky has

200
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:15.600
landed two players today. Kobe Brea, the transfer from Dayton did end up

201
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:20.039
picking Kentucky after his visit yesterday.
And then also a guy that I didn't

202
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.600
even know was considering Kentucky, Kerr
chrisa close enough, close enough. Yeah,

203
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.960
he's previously he played last year West
Virginia and before that he played I

204
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.720
think two years at Arizona and now
he's going to transfer to Kentucky. He's

205
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.399
a point guard average eleven points in
four assists last year. So Mark Pope

206
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.559
in the last week has has really
started to I mean, they've got more

207
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:45.240
than just a foundation. They've got
I think nearly as many commits as Louisville

208
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.759
does. And Louisville had their wave, right, I mean, I think

209
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:54.320
the week that Mark Pope has had
since last Thursday is really what Pat Kelsey

210
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.679
had for about a ten day stretch
there, right. It started with Javon

211
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.279
Hatley, and then from then on
you just started to add commitments and you

212
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:07.120
sit with eight and the one potential
commitment that we're hoping happens is Great Osibor,

213
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.600
who is the Utah State transfer who
visited Kentucky the last couple of days,

214
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.120
and yesterday Jeff Goodman broke the news
that he is not going to be

215
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:22.039
considering Kentucky. Their edition of the
Oklahoma State Transfer Garrison, I guess eliminated

216
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:24.679
their chances. I don't know if
they use their inn I all money for

217
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:26.799
that. I'm not really sure what
happened, but I don't care the fact

218
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:31.919
that he's in Louisville as we speak
visiting and it's Derby week. That's that's

219
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.879
I mean, that's what you want. Now can that lead to a commitment?

220
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:43.720
Only time will tell, And I
just look, I gotta admit it,

221
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.279
like my hopes of I've got my
hopes up here, and I don't

222
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:48.840
want to I don't want to have
you know, you never you know,

223
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.279
you never want to have expectations that
are high and then it not happened,

224
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.200
and then you're underwhelmed, right like, you know, expect the worst,

225
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.799
hope for the best. That's how
you keep yourself from, you know,

226
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.080
getting too high or too low.
But the way it's lined up with him

227
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:07.039
visiting now during Derby Week, pat
Kelsey having some real momentum, Kentucky being

228
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.840
no longer considered, I mean,
it just seems like, you know,

229
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:15.200
here we go, let's get it
done. But what's keeping me from,

230
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.440
you know, I guess fully going
overboard here and just assuming he's because it's

231
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:20.159
not like I'm telling you, I
believe he's gonna commit. But I've thought

232
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.799
about him being a part of this
team next year more than I probably should,

233
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.639
which has led to me just you
know, getting too excited. But

234
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.360
one thing that'll keep me a little
levelheaded, is that the scenario where he

235
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.440
ends up following Danny Sprinkle to Washington, the coach he played for last year

236
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.120
that left Utah State to go to
Washington. I still think that most just

237
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:45.399
are guessing and assuming that that's where
he ends up. So I guess I'm

238
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.279
gonna keep that in mind, and
then, you know, if he does

239
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.600
end up popping for Louisville, that'd
be great. Although he did ask yesterday

240
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.559
Kevin Sweeney of Sports Illustrated, who
covers college hoops, where he thought he

241
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.559
would end up, and it was
just a guess, right, as if

242
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.559
he had any intel, But he
said, lo, so that'd be huge,

243
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:03.399
man, And you still have other
players you are going to go.

244
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.639
Add I know, the young man
from Bellerman is somebody there. They're they're

245
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.320
pursuing, and I think he's,
in my opinion, the perfect kind of

246
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:15.120
guy for for for depth. Right, he's a Bellerman averaged about eleven points

247
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.200
and I'm not sure how many rebounds, but uh was it was a good

248
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.960
interior player for Scott Davenport, and
you know he would give you, you

249
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.320
know depth. He wouldn't be a
guy that I think you'd want to you

250
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.000
know, start and you know,
really run, you know, run a

251
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.399
lot of things through in the post, but you know you need you need

252
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.159
thirteen scholarship players. I mean,
you can you can get by without that.

253
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.000
But you know this isn't just as
I've said many times, the Louisville

254
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.639
is not out out here in the
portal. You know, looking to UH

255
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.320
to add a few pieces to solidify, you know, their rotation. They're

256
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.919
building an entire team, and so
far they've added eight guys UH. And

257
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.559
I think if you could get Osibor, I think from there, you you

258
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.159
know, you're always going to try
to get the best players you possibly can,

259
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:54.320
and there are still some really good
players available. But I think,

260
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.399
you know, you could feel as
if your foundation's pretty much set at that

261
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:02.720
point, because that would give you
eight that you know, we're playing nine

262
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:04.840
if you consider Khalifa, who may
red shirt, and then anybody else.

263
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:10.559
I think it's just an added bonus. All Right, We're gonna get to

264
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.759
our next derby profile coming up in
just a moment, and then we're gonna

265
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:17.360
bring in mister cant Spencer from WHA
S eleven. But real quick, let's

266
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:22.840
take a look at the UH.
The up, the the the Barnstable Party

267
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.120
list here because we've looked at I
think more than half here. But here

268
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.039
is the guest list because what we're
doing is looking at each of these celebrities

269
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.360
and not We're not determining if they're
celebrities or not, because hey, they're

270
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:34.320
on the list, right, and
that's all that matters. You can be

271
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.200
a celebrity and may not know who
you are because I'm not. You know,

272
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.279
I'm not. I'm not the gatekeeper
here as far as who's a celebrity

273
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.960
and who's not. But I believe
we left off with with Lee Brice.

274
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.320
I think, yes, all right, what about and this is a dead

275
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:52.720
giveaway, Pepa of Salt and Peppa
we know who that is? Yes,

276
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.600
just because the name tells us who
it is. Mickey Geiden know the name,

277
00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:57.399
can't think of who it is.
See, that's one of those where

278
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.000
I feel like I would just guess
baseball player like you did the other day,

279
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.200
because it sounds like Mickey Mantle.
That's probably not a baseball player.

280
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:10.920
I'm gonna guess Mickey Geiton is some
type of musician, and Mickey Guiton is.

281
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.440
It's a woman. It's a woman, and she's a musician, a

282
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.440
country singer. What's her hit?
I don't know if I know her her

283
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.200
catalog, but you know she must
be an up and comer. I'm looking

284
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:29.440
here on Wikipedia and her discography.
She's uh, you know, nothing showing

285
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.039
that I'm familiar with. But hey, that doesn't means she's not a celebrity.

286
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.039
She's on the list. She's famous, So congratulations to her. Let's

287
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.119
see Travis Tritt. Of course,
we know who Travis trid is got the

288
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:41.559
rice cooking in the microwave. Yeah, Eddie Montgomery, we know who that

289
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.240
is. All right, this is
gonna be a good one for you,

290
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.440
Doug E. Fresh. He's a
DJ or a rapper, right, Yeah,

291
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.640
I didn't know if you'd know that
or not, because that's you know,

292
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.480
that's that's way back, yeah,
nineties. He's a beatbox DJ,

293
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:02.160
rapper guy. And again I'm for
those that were, I guess very much

294
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:07.640
into the hip hop wave whenever,
you know he was doing his thing back

295
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:10.839
in the eighties. I apologize I
wasn't alive, so I know who he

296
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:14.920
is, and you know I was
alive during some of his his you know,

297
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.359
his run as far as being a
big celebrity, but yeah, he's

298
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:22.920
to me, seems like somebody that
got the invite once and just keeps coming

299
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.480
back, like and hey, they're
going to have him, then he must

300
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:30.440
be a great guest and a good
get all right, Billy Gilman, you

301
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.720
know who that is? Billy Gilman. I feel like he's an actor.

302
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:38.440
This is one of the most I
mean, I think this is one of

303
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:45.200
the most random celebrities in that comes
to this. And I know who he

304
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:51.000
is, but it's I wouldn't be
shocked if most people don't. I see,

305
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.359
he's a singer. Yeah, so
he as a young kid. And

306
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.160
I mean this like I say,
he's born in nineteen eighty eight, so

307
00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.480
he's my age. But in what
year was that song? He had a

308
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.480
song called One Voice, and he
was you know, he was a young

309
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:07.000
kid, so you were hearing a
little kid sing. It wasn't like you

310
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:08.920
were hearing he was twelve years old, so it was you know, it

311
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.519
was a big I think it might
have been like number one or something in

312
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:17.400
the country when he but it was
such a sad song and he was like

313
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.759
clearly a one hit wonder from what
I understand, And I forgot all about

314
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.680
him. And I remember doing this
a few years ago looking at this list,

315
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.720
and I remember thinking, why do
I know that name? And I

316
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.079
guarantee you for twenty something years,
I'd forgot this person existed. And I'm

317
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:34.960
not sure if he's still singing or
what actually says here. He auditioned for

318
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.160
the voice in twenty sixteen. So
interesting. I guess he was away from

319
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.200
you know, the spotlight for quite
some time. And you know now he's

320
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:47.039
he's he's a celebrity guest at the
biggest derby party that we have here in

321
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:51.799
Louisville every year. So we've got
a handful left and we'll and I think

322
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.119
actually the more we run through here, there are going to be some that

323
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.000
we we probably both don't know and
are going to have to use Google to

324
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:00.359
figure out. So well do that
before we run out of time. Today

325
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.079
we got about an hour and a
half love with you guys, But Derby

326
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:07.720
profiles coming up next, and then
we'll bring in Kent Spencer from WHS eleven,

327
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:11.000
which a thoroughbred is up next here
John Sierra Leone, Oh popular one

328
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:15.839
here, let's hear it now,
look at the Kentucky Derby field one by

329
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:22.279
one Sierra Leone Bluegrass Stakes winner,
Sierra Leone will be looking to give trainer

330
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:29.640
Chad Brown his first Kentucky Derby winner. A dark bay Brown son of gun

331
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:34.039
Runner, Sierra Leone, is one
of the favorites for the Kentucky Derby.

332
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:40.599
He has three wins and a second
in four career starts. Sierra Leone is

333
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:44.720
the highest priced horse in the field. In fact, he was the highest

334
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:49.119
price course of all the three hundred
and forty six Triple Crown nominees at two

335
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:56.240
point three million dollars Cold Sierra Leone
started his career with a victory at Aqueda

336
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:03.640
in November and a maiden race right
into the Steaks Company, finished second in

337
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:07.960
the Remsen and then began his three
year old career a win in the Risen

338
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:12.559
Star and a victory by a length
and a half in the Bluegrass Steaks.

339
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:18.680
Owned by John Magner, Derek Smith, Peter Brand, Michael Tabor and Looievillion

340
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:25.440
at Brooks Smith, Sierra Leone is
a closer. He will be dropped back

341
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:29.799
towards the back of the field and
he will be coming down the stretch.

342
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:33.799
A lot of folks they worry about
traffic. Chad Brown says he feels like

343
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:38.039
he's got the right horse for the
Kentucky Derby. You know, in recent

344
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.720
years we've seen some horses that were
in the rear of the race early win,

345
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:45.599
so that gives you a lot of
hope. You know, with these

346
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:49.359
closers, you definitely have to navigate
your traffic and work in truck house.

347
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:53.759
It's a contain one we're challenging.
Just hopefully there's a solid case in the

348
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:57.079
race and that will spread the field
out a bit and the boy traffic.

349
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:02.880
Brown is oh fourth in the Kentucky
Derby, a second place finished with good

350
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.480
Magic in twenty eighteen, cier leone
will be one of the favorites. He's

351
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.680
two for two since Chad Brown added
blinkers, and Brown is excited about this

352
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:17.359
opportunity. He's really just a gifted
tour since perfect. So I mean he's

353
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:21.400
you know, you don't quote a
the seratogy yearling say I'll bring over two

354
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:26.359
million dollars unless you know you're the
man, you know, and he's but

355
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.720
I'm proud of the horse. He
backed it up. He's he's always gone

356
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.480
out there. He's he's a very
intelligent horse. He's very focused. He

357
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:40.599
takes things in in a very focused
intelligent man, like I said, because

358
00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:45.319
of all the things we just identified
about the hors and makes him a horse.

359
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:49.400
It's supposed to be custom made for
videoga. That's right. Coffee and

360
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:52.880
Company field By Thornton's here on Sports
Talk seven ninety. Appreciate you hanging out

361
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.200
with us as we take you up
till six o'clock. Reminder, I am,

362
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.559
I'm out tomorrow and Friday, so
there for you will uh you won't

363
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:04.119
hear me, but Uh'll be back
on Monday, and I would imagine we'll

364
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:08.119
have some updates from the transfer portal
and uh, I also uh, you

365
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:12.039
know, imagine we'll have a lot
to react to from uh from Derby weekend.

366
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:17.039
All right, so we're going to
try to track down mister kN Spencer

367
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:18.000
coming up here in just a moment. He's a busy man, of course,

368
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:22.039
you know, working uh working Derby
week for the folks at w HS

369
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:26.680
eleven. And now I'm overthinking it, like did I we had this,

370
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:30.279
We had we had not an issue
last week, but I he he RSVP'd

371
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.119
for the show, but I couldn't
remember what time it was, and now

372
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:36.319
uh we're unable to reach of it. It has me thinking that maybe I

373
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:38.079
told him the wrong time. Either
way, we'll try to we'll try to

374
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:44.480
track him down and have our weekly
chat with with mister Ken Spencer. Maybe

375
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:47.680
I told him five o'clock five thirty. I don't know, not sure,

376
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:51.839
but I'll text him see what's up, and we will we we'll go from

377
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:55.440
there, all right. Uh,
I'm trying to see here if there's been

378
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:59.160
any other names added to the portal
with the you know, the deadline coming

379
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:04.640
up here at midnight. You know, I mentioned earlier the addition of Trevon

380
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:10.640
Brazil, the former the former Arkansas
big man. You know, I thought

381
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:14.599
maybe maybe he would he'd be one
of the last big name. And I

382
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.160
guess he's maybe not a big name
because he wasn't very productive last year for

383
00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:19.319
Arkansas, but you know, he's
somebody that at one point I believe was

384
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:23.240
looked at as a like a legitimate
lottery pick type of player, just because

385
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:29.200
of upside and potential. So we'll
see if there's any other big names added.

386
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:32.240
There are guys that have entered the
portal, but by all accounts are

387
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.359
doing it really just to cover their
rear end if in fact they get really

388
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:44.200
bad draft feedback. So Coleman Hawkins, the sharpshooting big guy for Illinois.

389
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:48.680
He has by all accounts, gone
all in here with the NBA. But

390
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:51.200
before the deadline he did put his
name in the portal, but he put

391
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:53.599
out some kind of a message letting
Illinois fans know that it's really just like

392
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.440
a an emergency type situation, like
let's just say something happens and he had

393
00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:00.359
to come back to school. He'll
have the option to you know, go

394
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.039
where he wants, or you know, go back to Illinois. And I

395
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:07.200
can't really tell if this is a
good question that came in actually yesterday on

396
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:12.160
the text line if the portal has
been underwhelming as far as you know,

397
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.359
the guys that have entered it,
And I don't really know how you would

398
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.119
answer that. I guess it just
depends on perspective, and you know,

399
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.960
one man's opinion as far as are
the guys that ended up being available,

400
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.240
were they, you know, really
big names that could really change a team.

401
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:29.640
I think there's plenty of good players
out there. But last year you

402
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:33.880
had Hunter Dickinson, you had Caleb
Love and I don't have we had that

403
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:36.440
yet this year, John, I
don't. I don't think so either like

404
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:38.960
Hunter Dickinson I think at this point
is one of the bigger names that has

405
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:41.880
ever ended the portal in the early
era of the transfer portal, just because

406
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.200
of how good he was at Michigan
as far as production, and you know,

407
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:48.279
he was really good. Last year
at Kansas, they just you know,

408
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:51.160
they didn't make a deep run.
And did they lose in the first

409
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:53.799
round, No, it would have
been the second round. Anyways, they

410
00:25:53.880 --> 00:26:00.799
ended up getting beat earlier than most
anticipated, and their best player outside of

411
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:06.200
Dickinson was Kevin McCuller, who ended
up getting shut down right before the end

412
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:10.920
of the regular season. So despite
that, I still think that that Kansas

413
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.680
being viewed as like everybody's preseason number
one next year, I think as far

414
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.480
as what we know now, I'd
say it's justified, just because they've they've

415
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:21.839
added some really good players in the
portal and they bring back some good players,

416
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:26.039
including you know, Hunter Dickinson.
All Right, so this is a

417
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:32.720
really sad, sad situation here that
is almost unbelievable. But if you remember

418
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.920
a few weeks ago, Javon Porter, the former NBA player, he became

419
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.359
I believe the first player in like
eight years to be banned from the NBA.

420
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:45.480
And you know, he did the
ultimate thing that you can't do as

421
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:48.680
a professional athlete. That's bet on
your team to lose that you play for.

422
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:51.559
He did that among other things.
Right, this guy I think had

423
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:53.880
a gambling problem. You know,
maybe he would say he doesn't. He

424
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:56.680
just likes to gamble and he had
a lot of money, so he did

425
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.160
it. It was just entertainment.
But you know, you can't do that.

426
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:07.799
And I'm not even sure if this
is viewed as a NBA making an

427
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:10.960
example out of somebody, I think
it's not. They're not. They're not

428
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:14.160
going harsh to make an example.
If you bet on your own team to

429
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:17.799
lose while you're playing in the National
Basketball Association, they are going to bang

430
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:19.720
you for life. Like that's not
an example. That's just what's going to

431
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:25.559
happen. And you can't be surprised. But man, the Porter family has

432
00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:30.799
had a rough month. Obviously.
Michael Porter Junior is the most notable Porter

433
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:33.160
brother. I would say, given
the fact that he's an NBA player and

434
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.640
a good one at that, was
a big time star in the college game,

435
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:41.759
and because he had a back injury, he was somebody that when the

436
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:44.200
Nuggets took him. I think at
the end of the lottery he might have

437
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:45.759
been later than that, but when
they did that, it was viewed as

438
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:48.720
a big risk. But you know, if in fact he's healthy, it

439
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:52.599
could be a huge payoff because at
one point some people thought he'd be the

440
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:53.799
number one pick in the draft.
Well, I think at this point it's

441
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:56.119
clearly been a big payoff for them
because they just want a title. And

442
00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:02.039
obviously, you know, Jamal Murray
and yok h are the two man,

443
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:04.119
I mean, those are the two
best players for the Nuggets, but Porter

444
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:08.039
Junior is their third best player and
he's really good. But the other brothers,

445
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:15.799
I mean, we mentioned Javonte Porter
who ended up getting a a you

446
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:19.720
know band from the NBA. Well, then within two or three days of

447
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:25.759
that happening, I believe either the
youngest brother or the young one of the

448
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:30.640
younger brothers. I know he's a
younger brother to Javante and to Michael Porter

449
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:37.880
Jr. He got sentenced to I
believe. Let's see here, Yeah,

450
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:45.960
Coben Porter pled guilty and was sentenced
to a prison sentence, sentenced to prison.

451
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.759
I don't know how long his sentence
was, but he had a dui.

452
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:52.440
He played at Denver University, where
his brother, of course plays for

453
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:56.400
the Nuggets. Well, he was
a I think a freshman for Denver the

454
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:00.319
university basketball program. He got a
DUI and ended up killing some one.

455
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.519
So he pled guilty and is going
to prison for I'm not sure how long.

456
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:10.880
And then last night Javon Porter,
who is a transfer uh he transferred

457
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:17.680
from Pepperdine to Loyola Marymount this offseason, he was arrested last night for a

458
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:22.920
d UI. So, I mean, just a rough, a rough month

459
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:29.440
or so for the Porter family.
And you know, I mean, I

460
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:32.400
don't know if like his fam I
don't know anything about his I know his

461
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:34.279
dad was a former coach and I
think it actually been a former player.

462
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:37.400
But there's a lot of siblings.
I think there's a bunch of sisters too,

463
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:40.440
and I don't know how many of
their are. I don't know how

464
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:42.359
many Porter kids there are, But
just think about that, in a month's

465
00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:48.160
time, one guy banned from the
NBA for betting on his own team to

466
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:53.880
lose, one brother sentenced to prison
because of a DUI that killed somebody,

467
00:29:55.440 --> 00:30:00.880
and now another brother who's currently playing
college basketball gets arrested for a dui.

468
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:06.359
I mean, that's that's crazy if
you think about it. All Right,

469
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:10.119
So seth Town, do you remember
that name John? I know it sounds

470
00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:17.039
familiar. He's the guy who quite
literally is eligible for a ninth season of

471
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:22.920
college basketball nine season. Started his
career at I think it Harvard, transferred

472
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:29.160
to Ohio State, transferred to Howard, been all over the place. Well,

473
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:33.079
he actually is eligible for a ninth
year, but he has decided not

474
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:36.920
to use his ninth season of eligibility, which would have been a record.

475
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:41.480
I mean, when did this guy
graduate college or high school? I mean,

476
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.920
let's look it up. I mean
it's probably somebody who came out like

477
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.680
when, like guys like Donovan Mitchell
did. Yeah. So he he was

478
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.799
born in nineteen ninety seven. That's
when I was born. So that's crazy,

479
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:56.519
is it? Really? That is
crazy? So he started, Yeah,

480
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:03.960
this guy in twenty sixteen. In
twenty seventeen was his freshman year of

481
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:06.680
This dude's the same age as me. So yeah, yeah, So,

482
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:10.599
I mean, and he played at
Harvard for three years. I'm sorry.

483
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:14.279
He was at Harvard for four years, but in twenty eighteen nineteen, in

484
00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:17.559
twenty nineteen twenty those two seasons he
did not play because he was injured.

485
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:18.359
I don't know what his injury was, but he did not play at all.

486
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.559
Well. Then he transferred to Ohio
State for his fifth year, played

487
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.480
there and played in twenty five games, averaged like four points a game.

488
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:30.599
Then the next year he played or
he was at Ohio State but could not

489
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:34.519
play because of an injury. So
in twenty twenty two to twenty three he

490
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:37.519
took the year off, didn't play. I don't know he did. I

491
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:38.240
don't even worry. I don't even
know if he's in school or not.

492
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:41.920
Well. Then last year he ended
up enrolling at Howard played there one year

493
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.200
and what you know, averaged I
think you might have been the player of

494
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:51.319
the year in that conference. So
because he's only actually played in four seasons

495
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:56.200
and all the other years he's missed
because he either sat out or he was

496
00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:59.759
injured, he could get the fifth
year, I guess because of COVID.

497
00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:01.920
Like it used to be, once
you start your clock, you got five

498
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:06.400
years to play four and if you
wanted to get four and six you had

499
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:08.079
to apply for a waiver, which
they would give you right like if you

500
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:15.440
were somebody that had a medical red
shirt or you you know, or maybe

501
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:19.480
you just didn't, you just took
a red shirt season. It was pretty

502
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:21.839
clear you could you could get you
know, there was an exception they would

503
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:23.720
make well I don't know how,
but apparently he would have been eligible.

504
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:28.079
Again, that's probably just because the
NSAA doesn't have any ability to make any

505
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.599
rules, right, I mean they
can. You know, this dude would

506
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:32.880
have been a twenty seven year old
playing college basketball if he played next season.

507
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:37.440
It's crazy. All right, Before
we take a quick break, let's

508
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:39.799
take a look at some of the
more some more of these random celebrity siding.

509
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:44.319
So I've asked listeners and asked social
media to let us know who's the

510
00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:49.359
most random celebrity siding that they've they've
encountered during Derby Week. Rather it be

511
00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.160
this year, probably years past,
doesn't have to be somebody you saw with

512
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:55.039
somebody who ran into in Louisville during
Derby Week and you clearly knew they were

513
00:32:55.039 --> 00:33:00.799
here because of that. This is
Let's see, somebody mentioned Polly Show yesterday.

514
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:04.039
We got another person saying Polly Shore. I guess he was making his

515
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:07.319
way around town. Dave Chappelle on
four Street that's what Charles says. That's

516
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:10.240
a good one. Dave Chappelle's not
random, he's super famous, but running

517
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:14.319
into him and like if you just
randomly saw him, like in the crowd

518
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:16.839
at four Street, that would be
super random because he's super famous and he's

519
00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:22.640
pretty private too. This is Dean
Adam, says, Dean Norris, who

520
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:27.880
is Hank from Breaking Bad. He
got a private tour at Slugger during Derby

521
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:30.559
Week, and I guess Adam worked
at Slugger. That would be I mean

522
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:34.920
to me that somebody. And Dean
Norris has been in a lot of stuff,

523
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:37.640
but I of course as somebody who
you know, like many love Breaking

524
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:43.160
Bad. I only think of him
as White's brother in law in Breaking Bad,

525
00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:44.960
but he's been in a lot of
other stuff too. He's actually in

526
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:51.160
the spin off of a Better Call
Saul. I actually think he's one of

527
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:52.960
those guys that I just just so
like, there's a lot of people you

528
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:59.640
see in a show or various shows, maybe various movies, and like you

529
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:01.720
know, you've seen them in a
bunch of different stuff, so like you

530
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:06.559
you know, you know their range. You're probably well aware that the person

531
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:09.960
that you see in real life when
they're not on camera is much different than

532
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.880
the characters. For whatever reason,
Dean Norris, I can just I cannot

533
00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:17.559
see him being anything other than the
guy who is again Walter White's brother in

534
00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:22.079
Breaking Bad. Speaking of that,
Greg says Shooter McGavin showed up to a

535
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:29.480
Derby party he attended. Shooter McGavin
may in fact be one of the I

536
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:34.440
mean, his real name is Christopher
MacDonald and he's been in other stuff too,

537
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:37.320
But I don't know, I can't
there's other celebrities that have done it,

538
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:39.559
but I can't think of them off
the top of my head. But

539
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:44.639
what I'm getting at is they lean
into the role they're most known for and

540
00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:49.840
they kind of just stay that person
their entire life slash career, and it

541
00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:52.920
never runs out. That's such an
iconic movie, Happy Gilmore, that if

542
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:57.559
you're shoot, if you're always in
characters Shooter McGavin, you're probably gonna always

543
00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:00.760
have people showing love because you know, that movie's awesome and that's a funny

544
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:06.480
character. I mean, I don't
know if there's a more notable character in

545
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:10.360
Happy Gilmore. Obviously Adam Sandler.
Happy Gilmore himself is the is the movie,

546
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:15.639
but like that movie's not the same
without without Christopher McDonald, who again

547
00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:20.719
played Shooter McGavin. Like Screech,
remember Screech from Saved by the Bell.

548
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:22.079
That's somebody that you know. I
don't think he wanted to be tight cast,

549
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:23.960
but I think at some point,
like he became well, if he

550
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:27.400
was going to stay in the limelight
and get booked and be you know,

551
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:30.800
notable as a celebrity, he needed
to be Screech powers like in every way.

552
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:34.519
He actually passed away not that long
ago, which was really sad,

553
00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:37.000
and he'd fallen on some hard times
towards the end of his life. I

554
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:38.639
believe, all right, quick break, we'll come back on the other side,

555
00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:42.239
finish up the four o'clock hour,
figure out what the hell's going on

556
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:45.320
with Ken Spencer, and then give
you another Derby profile before we hit the

557
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:47.599
top of the hour. It's Coffee
and Company. Phil about Thornton's right here

558
00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:52.400
on Sports Talk seven to ninety Did
you see John Keller Perry's house is up

559
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:58.400
for sale. I did see that. Three point nine million dollars, five

560
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:02.519
bedrooms, eight bathrooms, nine six
hundred and fifteen square feet. He bought

561
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:09.039
it in May of two thousand and
nine for one point eight million dollars that

562
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:13.199
that'll be on the market for a
while, won't it. I mean think

563
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:19.119
so well, just because just because
it's there's not a big there's not a

564
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:21.880
whole lot of people that are looking
for a house. I wouldn't think that

565
00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:23.840
that are looking that's the range just
because that's a lot of money. It

566
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:27.920
could be wrong. Maybe I'm maybe
I'm the only one that just considers that

567
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:30.239
to be an insane amount of money
for a you know, for a a

568
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:36.280
home. But would you want to
live in a home that that you knew,

569
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:39.639
like a famous person lived there?
Would it matter? Would you care?

570
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:43.320
Like if you like the house,
would or would you would you like

571
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:45.360
the house more if you knew somebody
famous lived there? I think it depends

572
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:49.480
on who the famous person is,
honestly in your connection to them. Yeah,

573
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:52.639
I gotta be honest with you.
I'm really weird about my home.

574
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:57.800
You know, we have guests over
all the time, but people who I

575
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:00.280
don't know, like being in my
home was very unusual, right, but

576
00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:07.840
it never rarely ever happens. But
I wouldn't want to know who lived in

577
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:09.559
my home before, Like, I
know who we bought the house from.

578
00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:15.239
But the only time I ever saw
them was that was at closing and it

579
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:17.519
was one of the two. Uh, it was the woman because the rest

580
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:21.320
of the family had already moved,
I believe to Colorado or something like that.

581
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:23.280
So, uh, there's not like
I'm it's not I mean to me,

582
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:25.599
I just when I'm in a home, I want to consider it just

583
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:30.840
to be my home. And if
I like randomly see somebody that's like an

584
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:32.599
acquaintance that that you know, used
to live in my house, I'd get

585
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:35.320
over it, Like I wouldn't think
about it. But I don't, you

586
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:37.719
know, am I making sense?
Am I sounding like a crazy person?

587
00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:39.480
Yeah, I've never thought about those
kinds of things, but I can see

588
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:43.920
why that would be weird. Yeah. So like the two houses, in

589
00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:47.800
fact, the three houses we've lived
in, I'm pretty sure each of the

590
00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:52.440
owners that we bought from were the
first people to live there, which you

591
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:54.519
know, there could have been five
different people lived there and it wouldn't have

592
00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:57.440
really mattered. You know, once
you're there at your home, you don't

593
00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:00.960
think about anybody else. But when
we would go look at how which we

594
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:04.519
only did that really whenever we were
moving the first time, and we took

595
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:09.000
forever we were an apartment lease was
running out and we knew, we you

596
00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:12.639
know, we just got married.
We needed a home. We didn't want

597
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:15.880
to renew our lease. But like
I wasn't about to just pick a house

598
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:17.119
that's the best of the bunch,
Like I would have renew the lease for

599
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:21.199
six months before I buy a home
that I don't like. We could not

600
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:22.840
come to an agreement. My wife
and I we just were you know,

601
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:25.280
there was houses that she felt she
really liked, and I'm like, no,

602
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:28.400
you don't love it. You just
want to get out of the apartment,

603
00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:30.039
and this is the best option,
Like, we don't want to live

604
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:35.320
here. So finally, randomly a
house came available and wasn't even on the

605
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:37.840
market like as far as Zillow,
but we knew somebody that knew somebody that

606
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.400
was putting this house up for sales. So we went and looked at it,

607
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:44.360
made an offer that night, and
we moved in there. And then

608
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:47.639
the next time around, you know, I've mentioned this before, my wife

609
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:50.840
just got a wild hair and decided
she was going to look at houses on

610
00:38:50.840 --> 00:38:52.199
the internet. She liked one.
We bought it the same week, like

611
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:55.000
it's she makes these impulse decisions,
and I'm glad she did because I love

612
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:58.719
where we live now. But what
I'm getting at is the whole process of

613
00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:00.800
looking at houses. When you like
are in somebody's home that lives there and

614
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:04.280
it's not like a new build or
they haven't already moved out, and you're

615
00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:07.079
like in the room, like knowing
it's somebody, I just feel weird,

616
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:10.519
like it makes sense, like knowing
they're just not home because they know somebody's

617
00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:14.639
walking around their house. Like that's
weird to me. And when we were

618
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:16.239
selling our house and we had somebody
come and look at it like that.

619
00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:20.519
You know, it's not that I
think they're gonna be like a perv or

620
00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:22.760
something, and it's not that,
you know, I feel like I'm being

621
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:24.800
violated. It's just weird, you
know, because if they're gonna buy it,

622
00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:29.480
they may be inclined to, you
know, really give it a test

623
00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:30.119
drive, if you know what I'm
saying, right, Like, you know,

624
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:32.559
just open up every door and look
under everything. I mean, just

625
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:37.199
you know, so I uh,
I don't know if i'd like to.

626
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:39.840
I mean, if it's if it's
a celebrity and it's not because it's like

627
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:43.119
the former Kentucky coach. It could
be you know, it could be Chris

628
00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:45.800
Mack, which I know him,
so that would be even more weird.

629
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:47.679
But just you know, it would
take a while for it to wear off.

630
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:52.079
If like I know the person somewhat
regular, somewhat well that like used

631
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:54.239
to live for I'm like, well, this is where they used to hang

632
00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:58.199
out, Like I don't know,
just I'm weird. We've discovered that long

633
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:00.440
ago. When it comes to that, did you guys look a bunch of

634
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:02.480
houses before you pick yours? We
looked at I believe like four or five,

635
00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:07.320
So it wasn't too long of a
process. Was it like when you

636
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:08.840
knew you knew? Or was it? Yeah? We actually almost bought a

637
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:13.280
house in Bartstown first, but thankfully
we did some digging and realized that the

638
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:15.760
area we looked at wasn't a very
good area. Like you didn't want to

639
00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:17.679
live out there? Yeah? Would
you have worked here if you lived all

640
00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:21.360
the way out there? That That
was my biggest issue with it. I

641
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:23.239
was like, I don't want to
commute for nearly an hour. Yeah,

642
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:29.639
Barstown's a nice area. Yeah,
which is crazy because I think Bartstown has

643
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:36.079
been somewhat put on the map nationally
because of all the crazy circumstances with Crystal

644
00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:40.239
Rogers and Jason Ellis and all that, and but yet it's actually a at

645
00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:44.039
one point it's I think during this
it's actually been tabbed as like one of

646
00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:46.440
the most beautiful small towns in America. Isn't your wife from there? Yes,

647
00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:49.639
she went to high school there.
I thought, all right, we'll

648
00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:52.119
take a quick break Quebec on the
other side, get the five o'clock hour

649
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:57.400
started, chat with our man Jeff
Greer, get you some more Derby profiles,

650
00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:00.320
and uh, we'll finish strong because
it's my last hour of the week

651
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:02.679
here before I get out of here
for a long Derby weekend. Stick with
