00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.960
Al, it's time for cops rock. A little after ten o'clock on Thursday,

2
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:07.320
Dave Jennings to flow out his shoels. My friend, the only easier

3
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:13.679
thing than finding tools is finding cops
that rock. We're going to go to

4
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:18.160
Wisconsin, Wisconsin. I'm ready to
go to Wisconsin. Let's go where a

5
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:23.359
Milwaukee officer is recovering after being hit
by another cruiser during a pursuit. Oh

6
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:27.879
boy. The pursuit began when officers
attempted to stop a car wanted in connection

7
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:32.560
with the carjacking and shooting. The
driver sped off, leading police on a

8
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:37.880
chase captured by State Transportation cameras.
Video showed the car entering and exiting interstate

9
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.560
ramps. At one point, the
vehicle can be seen on surveillance crossing lanes

10
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:46.000
of traffic to make a quick exit
off the highway. Some cruisers followed,

11
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:50.359
others continued straight, We're back on
the Interstate. We're back on the Interstate.

12
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:53.880
From thirty fifth the cop can be
heard saying an officer was waiting at

13
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.920
the end of that ramp, ready
to just deploy spike strips right. The

14
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.600
suspect vehicle avoided the strips by swore
bring into the freeway before the end of

15
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.680
the ramp. The officer took steps
nearer to traffic, still attempting to stop

16
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.719
the vehicle with the strips, before
turning around and running back toward the shoulder

17
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.640
as he tried to run off the
road. Video shows another cruiser in pursuit

18
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.400
strike the officer on the ramp.
Oh He was taken to a hospital with

19
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:25.319
serious but non life threatening injuries.
The vehicle escaped. All because somebody wants

20
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:30.280
to be an a hole. The
guy got away got away. That wasn't

21
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.840
Al Cowlings. I saw. I
think it was on Sunday morning on CBS.

22
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.760
They got this thing now in the
front of the cop cars that that

23
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.480
it's like James Bond. So they
just push a button and it shoots a

24
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:49.319
tracker with JELO and it sticks to
the car. So then they don't have

25
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.959
to have this high speed pursuit.
They can just track it from their computer.

26
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.200
So it's like GPS Goo. Yeah, So it's just like it's the

27
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.840
GPS thing or whatever, like Apple
tag whatever. They that's pretty cool.

28
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.159
He's with GOO and it's just got
this thing on the front end of the

29
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.959
car. He shoots it from inside
the card. He goes chaupunk sticks to

30
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.000
the end of the car. Pretty
sweet, it is cool. He did

31
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:14.039
a guy with a squirt gun,
not spike strips. A police officer in

32
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:19.360
Arizona shot while intervening in an attempt
at armed robbery. It occurred with several

33
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.560
armed suspects attempted to rob a vehicle. A uniformed Phoenix Police Department officer who

34
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:29.680
was working off duty at a local
business was contacted about the incident and approached

35
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.759
the suspects. At least one of
the robbers then began firing in the direction

36
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:37.919
of the officer. He was unable
to return fire, shot several times,

37
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:42.280
according to the report. Statements issued
by the department called the incident a violent

38
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.639
ambush style attack. Quote. We
had an officer who was violently attacked wile

39
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.280
truly doing his job, and not
just attacked, but ambushed. He was

40
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.520
ambushed as he went to try to
help folks that were being preyed upon and

41
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:58.960
robbed and put himself in harm's way, shot several times, but released from

42
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:06.400
the hospital. These suspects also got
away. Oh come on, I mean,

43
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:09.599
all the people who criticized police officers, I wish you would go on

44
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.120
a ride along on an overnight ride
along in a certain neighborhood for a couple

45
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:16.879
nights in a row. Then let's
see if you change your tune. This

46
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:22.159
guy was probably doing security at a
local business who'd been robbed, probably hired

47
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.240
by the shop owner. Someone outside
is getting carjacked. He goes to help

48
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.439
get shot several from the shot.
That's right, Phoenix, that's right.

49
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:31.439
No, we had a police officer
on. Remember we had a police officer

50
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:36.360
once and he was like, yeah, I left police force and were like,

51
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.639
well happened to that? I got
no fight with a naked drug addict.

52
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.599
And while I'm fighting him, I'm
thinking what can I do and not

53
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.439
do? Right? So I don't
go to jail for protecting my life because

54
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:47.439
I got it. Would get into
a fight with a naked drug add and

55
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:51.240
he might have a needle that could
stick here, and who knows what's in

56
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.719
that but a good story. Authorities
in Oklahoma recently rescued a dog that had

57
00:03:54.759 --> 00:04:00.879
been injured by a train and stuck
on the tracks for three days. Captured

58
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.680
on body camera, Deputy J.
Hutton all first initials. For some reason

59
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:09.680
of the Wagoner County Sheriff's Office and
a Wagoner police Captain b Harding worked together

60
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.319
to save the animal. Unable to
reach the dog with the patrol unit,

61
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.279
the officials called for a side by
side vehicle. Oh what the hell is

62
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:21.360
that? It's a side by side
vehicle which can access difficult terrain. With

63
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:26.160
the help of Lieutenant J. Half
Acre half Acre, I like that name,

64
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:30.040
they successfully rescued the dog from the
tracks and reassured it that everything was

65
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.480
going to be okay. Taken to
a vet, expected to recover, not

66
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.879
shot at rescuing dogs. Anything can
happen to a police officer on a given

67
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.000
day. Cops, it's like a
gator side by side is like, oh

68
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.279
gotcha, it's just like a gator
thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

69
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.959
yeah, it's all terrain kind of
thing. All right, it's cops.

70
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:56.160
Rock You bought like your muffins,
dude? Yeah. I couldn't talk because

71
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.360
I was still chewing a muffin.
Costco muffins Buy one, get one berry

72
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.120
muffins. That that thing was buy
one, get one free. Yes,

73
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.759
okay, six big muffins. Okay. First of all, those are muffins.

74
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.639
That's cake. It is cake.
They are spongey. There's spongy cake.

75
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.240
I just Ian was out there and
I said, ooh, I said,

76
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:16.000
I'd like the warm and I put
butter on it. He goes,

77
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.480
no, they're good by themselves.
Said I would too. He goes no,

78
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.399
he didn't. He goes he goes, no, you don't need it.

79
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.519
And I was like, is it
like cake? He goes, yes,

80
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:26.639
yeah it is. It's really good. I was like, oh,

81
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:29.639
I'm gonna have to take a lit
bit. I can't. I had half

82
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.000
a muffin. I take a little
bit, half a little bit like half

83
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:38.199
acre. Have you ever heard of
the redheaded libertarian? No, Charlie Brown

84
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.360
was in love with the red headed
girl who may have been a libertarian.

85
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.000
This girl is on Twitter and she
does videos and she's got a doctor degree

86
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:51.040
in relationships or whatever, and she
kind of breaks down relationships and she dives

87
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:56.519
into she knows. She thinks she
knows why women in their thirties are not

88
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.120
getting married or the marriages aren't doing
well? All right, do you want

89
00:05:59.959 --> 00:06:02.639
to know her? Thinking, I'm
not sure, but sure? What if

90
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.680
I always said, I said,
I said, sevens end up with sevens,

91
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:11.160
and nine's ends up with nine,
tens up ends up with ten.

92
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.480
It's weird that way. But you
thought we should shoot down a little bit,

93
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:16.759
like a ten should go for a
seven a guy. A guy should

94
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:21.279
marry a seven. It's a perfect
it's a perfect number between you're assuming all

95
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:27.040
guys are tens. No, no, I know, and girls should marry

96
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:33.040
a seven, right, because you
start to uh, the really hot people

97
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:38.040
are weirdos. Sorry, it ends
up that way. My favorite one is

98
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.079
I'm so hot no one will talk
to me or ask me out, I

99
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.000
know, because I'm too hot to
approach. There's plenty of dense guys that

100
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.600
don't know what category they're in.
No death hit on you, trust me.

101
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.839
But I saw Remember I saw that
special where they did a They did

102
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.399
a from a four to a ten. So they said, you know,

103
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.839
I identified everybody's four as a ten, and they cut them loose into a

104
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:06.279
party. And what happened was the
guys that girls ended up getting together like

105
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:09.920
talking the most and kind of saying, yeah, that would be my one

106
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:14.079
or two first choices, the four
to the fourth, the five to the

107
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.399
five. That matched up. It
matched up all the way up. And

108
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.480
you're like, duh, all right, so here's what I think she's going

109
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:25.680
to say. Okay, we're looking
for perfection. Now millennials gen z ers,

110
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.600
if there's like one flaw, they'll
call that a red flag and it's

111
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.920
off. Okay, yeah, but
no, here we go. So she

112
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:38.279
says, there are she goes,
very few nine or tens women. The

113
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:43.480
nines are tens that are women aren't
on uh dating sites because they don't need

114
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.160
it, right, because they're tens. They got guys hitting on them all

115
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.319
the time. No, they don't. Nobody hits on me to me because

116
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:53.759
I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid
of you. Why yeah, So but

117
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:58.800
she goes not there are some nine
or ten guys on dating gaps because they're

118
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:03.959
manhores, and the man whores will
go on the wet on the dating site.

119
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.319
And most dating sites are six or
sevens. That's the women. So

120
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:15.160
the guys are thinking they are going
to flock to me. No, no,

121
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.399
they do, because they do.
So the girls hook up with these

122
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.519
nine or tens in their twenties even
though they're a six or a seven.

123
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.519
Okay, so now they're used to
hooking up with tens, right, So

124
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.519
when the dating app thing is over
and you're having to settle down, well,

125
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.279
they don't settle down with a ten
because the ten guy is going to

126
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.399
settle down with a ten girls,
but she's still gonna want a ten.

127
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.080
That's exactly right. So she gets
into really this is all the opinion of

128
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:48.480
the redheaded libertarian, she says.
She goes, here's the thing you get.

129
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.279
She gets in her thirties, she
gets married to a seven, and

130
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:56.919
then she feels like she's settled for
a seven. I guess it's time to

131
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:03.360
have a family with Mitch. Feels
like I've settled for this seven, and

132
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:05.879
I should have. I was dating
nine and tens when I was in my

133
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.600
twenties. That's who I should have
ended up with. We've known people though

134
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.240
they got lucky with someone really hot
ones and they think it can happen again.

135
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.440
Yeah, and they never settle.
But they're outliers. I mean,

136
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.519
look at all relationships. If you
when you go to a business or we

137
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.960
go to a company function and everybody
brings their spouses, it makes sense.

138
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.600
That gets very rare, like Susan
and Dwight. That one doesn't make sense.

139
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.039
Well, Becky got a seven,
so see it works. It works,

140
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:37.039
and she's a nine at least,
right, so she did. What

141
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:43.480
advice is you're not saying settled,
are you No, No, she went

142
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:50.519
to solid, she went, oh, gotcha, she went to dependable,

143
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:58.440
reliable Dave. Well, he's dependable
not awful looking. But here's the thing.

144
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:05.200
I think this redheaded libertarian is onto
something. I think that's probably and

145
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.600
you're right to your point before,
is that the these uh men and women

146
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.639
are looking for perfection now because if
they get a bunch of tens while they're

147
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.480
dating off sites, they think they're
that hot too. Yes, correct,

148
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:20.159
that's what she's saying. And it's
like, you're not. You don't belong

149
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.080
in that world. You're a seven. You need to be with the sevens,

150
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.080
and that's who you're gonna end up
with. But who look at themselves

151
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:33.720
and says I'm a four? Who
does that? I think apparently. I

152
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:39.519
think a lot of people are.
No. Look, there are very few

153
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.879
women or men, mostly men,
because men are idiots that are that that

154
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:48.159
bat try to bat way out of
their category. Right. Most women are

155
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.039
right, they realize where they are, and most men do, but there

156
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.960
are some dumbasses. That's why the
whole sexual harassment thing at work is a

157
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.759
problem. Because the guy that just
doesn't like stop hitting on her. She

158
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.919
is way out of your league.
Stop. And the women will also instantly

159
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.919
identify the other numbers in the room. Oh oh women, Oh yeah,

160
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:09.080
yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, women is a

161
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.480
competition thing. So they're looking at
the other seven. Hey, there's a

162
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:18.919
ten guy over there where my competition
is. Oh, she's a nine with

163
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.600
better get busy, right. But
we you know, we we have seen

164
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:28.120
some what we think is of a
six for a guy with a nine or

165
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.480
ten and the what's the first thing
you jump to, Well, it's equation

166
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:37.720
is he's got money, he's got
no. That is the X. I

167
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.240
tell Jackie every time she gets a
bonus, like a large bonus at work,

168
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.440
or she gets a raise, I
go, you, you're prettier today

169
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.799
than you were before the rings.
And it's true. It works. The

170
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.159
more money she makes, the prettier
my wife gets. That's period, end

171
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:56.080
of story. I get it,
I get it, I do. So

172
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.200
it's money, guys, that's why
you decided to to fix your hair and

173
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.879
lose weight, dude, Weight Loss
Centers of Louisville. Jackie and I both

174
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:09.519
looked at each other. This this
summer too much wide and too many appetizers

175
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.679
on the back deck the and not
working out enough, sitting on our ass

176
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.279
on the weekends, we got fat. I think we looked at each other

177
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.399
because we're pretty honest. We don't
pull punches, and hey, you're getting

178
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.080
to be a fatty. You're a
fatty too. I was like, let's

179
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.320
do something about it. Went to
Weight Loss Centers of Louisville nine oh six

180
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.200
seventy one oh five, nine oh
six seventy one oh five. They got

181
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:33.120
a couple of weight loss programs you
can jump on. We jumped on one

182
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.000
of their types and it worked like
we got we lost the way we wanted

183
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.799
to lose in like three weeks and
we've kept it off. We've kept it

184
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.840
off and we're also doing the red
light therapy and it's been working also.

185
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.159
I have an appointment today, she
has another appointment tomorrow. We're going twice

186
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.519
a week. It helps with your
skin and lose weight. It's fantastic.

187
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:54.960
So Weight Loss Centers of Louisville nine
oh six seventy one oh five right now

188
00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.200
a forty nine dollars special, forty
nine dollars special. Usually the treatments five

189
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.000
hundred. This is a forty nine
dollars special. If you call nine oh

190
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.919
six seventy five and say I want
the Vinetti Special, which meant something different

191
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:13.799
than cot. I was gonna say, what was his name? All right,

192
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.840
back after this, we'll take a
short break. Don't forget we got

193
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:24.960
Nick Coffee. He's going to try
to explain this why college fans are not

194
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:31.240
suckers today and how they're paying for
everything and still getting the shaft. And

195
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:33.639
I'm pretty excited about our new coach, I have to say. And I'm

196
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.720
really excited about the news. Did
you see what he put out the other

197
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.480
day? It's it said, uh
to his tweet, every piece of blue

198
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.480
has been eliminated from my wardrobe.
He's doing. The revival has begun.

199
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:52.000
The revive Ville has begun. The
passion in the minds and hearts of cardination

200
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.639
is like no other. Tap into
that. All right back after this,

201
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:03.559
News Radio eight forty Whair's all right, welcome in Folks News Radio eight forty

202
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.320
whas the Tony and Dwight Show with
Dave Jennings, brought to you by the

203
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.879
Kentucky Office of Highway Safety. We
bring in the definitive voice for sports in

204
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:16.360
the Ville, and that is Nick
Coffee on Sports Talk seven ninety three pm.

205
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.159
To six pm. Nick, How
are you, sir? Doing well?

206
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.600
How are you guys? We're one
weekndo this new era at Louisville Basketball

207
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.759
and I'm excited. And we've already
heard more from Pat Kelsey than we did

208
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:35.120
Kenny Payne in two years. Yeah, no doubt about it. And I

209
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:37.919
hate that the first week I've had
these flashbacks, but I can't help it

210
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:43.120
because of the drastic difference between the
two guys. I mean, Pat Kelsey,

211
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.159
as you said, in a week, just be engaging with the fans,

212
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.080
just little things here and there on
social media that you know, not

213
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:52.480
only he's doing to get fans excited. He looks like he enjoys doing it.

214
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.320
Anytime we saw the previous coach,
he thought somebody had a gun to

215
00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.799
his back forcing him to do it. So just something new, something fresh.

216
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.000
It's exciting in itself. But yes, the the box that really needed

217
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.120
to be checked among men, he
was to get people fired up, right,

218
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.320
to be relatable, likable, high
energy, And there's no doubt he

219
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.399
is. He's done exactly that had
in his first week on job. Uh.

220
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.399
You know when they first came out, when nil was first discussed,

221
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.159
I came out hard against it.
I put out some tweets and was just

222
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.080
laughing at it because I was like, this is fantastic. The universities are

223
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.679
off the hook. They don't have
to pay the kids, uh, the

224
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:31.240
student athletes, the fans will I
mean, just like everything else. They're

225
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.559
parking, pass their tickets, their
their t shirts, uh, and well

226
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:37.840
by why not? And they and
they and they're laughing. Universities are laughing

227
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.000
and people call me old man yelling
at the sky, and I just let

228
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.679
it go whatever, and it seemed
like it was. It was doing its

229
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.840
thing, and let's see how it
all pans out. And then yesterday I'm

230
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:52.440
looking at the Huntley Hatfield kid,
the play the guy that played the five

231
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.240
at louisvill last year, and they
think that he could get a million dollars

232
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.200
or his asking a million dollars.
I don't know if that's an accurate report,

233
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.440
but that I jumped out on me
and I was just like, a

234
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:07.919
mid level five is asking for a
million dollars uh to play basketball. And

235
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:14.120
then I'm seeing the the a couple
of the sports personalities going back and forth

236
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.399
on how much their anil is,
how much their anil is, and how

237
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.919
much money they're raising and how much
we're raising. And I mean, I'm

238
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:30.600
sorry, why why you explained to
me why a college sports fan is not

239
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:36.120
a sucker? I can't. You
know, this is a conversation I've had

240
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:40.000
twice and it's both Tom's been with
you. Just as far as the I

241
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.320
mean, it's something people care so
much about. They're passionate about that.

242
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:47.440
Honestly, I think people if they
can, meaning they could afford it without

243
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:51.159
you know, losing their mortgage or
whatever, they they'll do it without hesitating

244
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:53.240
because it's just it's something they've cared
about so much. I mean, I

245
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.559
think, you know, we had
somebody who reached out to the show two

246
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.759
days ago on Monday that I thought
a good point. I mean, he

247
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.200
was he was kind of angry and
there about an il. I think the

248
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.480
way he said it, you know, came off as a bitter old man,

249
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:07.799
but he made a lot of good
points. And that is U of

250
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:12.119
L went out and they made a
horriddo's mistake by hiring Kenny Payne. They

251
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.480
gave him a contract that made those
sense as far as his buyout, knowing

252
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.160
nobody else was going to come and
hire him, and now they had to

253
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.519
go pay a coach two point three
million, which is drastically low for Louisville's,

254
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.680
for Louisville's, you know, for
the caliber program they are. But

255
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:32.400
yet now they're they're pushing all efforts
into telling fans to the collective so they

256
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.359
can go buy players. Just one. They're not allowed to go buy players

257
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:37.799
the school themselves because again that's not
allowed. So I mean, like,

258
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.559
if people don't want to do it, I totally get it. I would

259
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:41.960
never tell anybody what they should spend
their money on. What I think is

260
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.440
there's a lot of folks in the
younger generation that like season tickets, and

261
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.480
this is meyer, I'm not that
young, but you know, I'm not

262
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.519
old, not as old as you
guys. But like the thought of getting

263
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:55.039
a season ticket and paying a donation, like the cost of that, like

264
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.400
that just wasn't That's just not something
I think a lot of the younger folks

265
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.960
would do. I mean, that's
an older thing that you know. It's

266
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.039
just you can go to every game
you want without paying that donation, without

267
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.319
having a ticket. You can do
that. It's not that difficult. You

268
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:07.759
save a lot of money. So
I think those younger folks, because they're

269
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.559
not paying those annual prices. Maybe
they're putting their money towards an il.

270
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:15.920
But yes, the way people support
something that really, you know, they

271
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:18.440
love but they don't have it,
it's it's it's odd, and I hate

272
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.000
having the conversation because you're you're right, it's kind of we're kind of sick.

273
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:26.039
And as far as how much we
care and obsess about this stuff,

274
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:27.920
but you know, it's my life. We we can pine about the good

275
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.200
old days. But once you start
paying the kids, you're not going to

276
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.799
unpay all of them. But two
tweaked that I think need to happen.

277
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:38.039
One, don't declare for the portal
so all the tournament games are done.

278
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:44.680
And two you get one transfer without
sitting. You don't get multiple transfers without

279
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.799
sitting for a year. Free agency
is is taken hold of college basketball and

280
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:53.480
football. Yeah, and look,
I think those that just makes it much

281
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:59.319
less hectic. I do think that
just being able to up and leave whenever

282
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.079
you don't get played in time or
somebody made you mad, like that's not

283
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:04.319
good for anybody. I mean,
that's not that's it's just I mean,

284
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:08.160
heck, maybe certain kids find a
better situation, but Here's what happens,

285
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:11.240
DAVI, is that the ns double
A doesn't really have the right to tell

286
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.160
you that you can't go. What
are you doing right now? What are

287
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:22.240
you doing that's loud? I don't
know. There's a truck near me,

288
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.559
but it's not that close. It
sounds like you're raking leaves. It sounds

289
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:29.720
like you're raking dry leaves, which
could be impossible because it's rained for four

290
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:36.000
days. But stop moving near me, stop movies, don't move, don't

291
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.880
move. The n C double A
gets their ass kicked in court every single

292
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:45.279
time. So when it comes to
the one time transfer role they lose.

293
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.960
They don't you know, I guess
the court's essentially say you don't have the

294
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.720
right to tell a college athlete that
they have to sit because you know,

295
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.440
I won't. I don't know the
legalities of it, but that's that's what's

296
00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:00.160
going on right now. It's an
absolute free for all, mostly because that

297
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.480
anytime there's any rule that INSTEABLA has
in place, which is probably for a

298
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.000
good reason, they take it to
court, like right now, there's no

299
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.079
regulation than I know, like they
put Tennessee and I think Virginia and Florida

300
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:14.880
State they got into some trouble and
it went to court and now the NUBA

301
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:17.279
just for the time being, and
who knows winning ends. They just don't

302
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:19.519
have the ability to tell anybody what
they can and can't do, which is

303
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:23.160
really not a thing. But yeah, I mean players are have all the

304
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:26.200
power they were from having literally no
power, right like the n stuble A

305
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.039
would just decide no, you're ineligible, and it's because of this and that

306
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:32.920
you know, deal with it.
Life's tough. Now. I think the

307
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:37.000
players have way more power and control
than anyone. All right, I'm done

308
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.799
with my rant, so let's talk
actual basketball. And I got to tell

309
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:48.240
you, Jackie and I we've watched
every Purdue game almost all season long and

310
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.359
watched this team and thought, well, that can they do it this year?

311
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.640
And then I got to tell you, having a team that you're cheering

312
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:59.640
for go make a deep run in
the tournament, I forgot how good that

313
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:06.200
feels. Good that feels. And
now Purdue will be the first game against

314
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:12.079
nc State, the ACC representative and
the big guy matchup DJ and Edie are

315
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:19.519
going to be. The ratings for
that game are going to be gigantor no

316
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:23.319
doubt about it, and I remember
what it was like to have a team

317
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:26.839
making a deep run that you care
about, and I hope to one day

318
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.680
have that feeling again. I know
it'll happen at some point in my life

319
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.599
because it's not Louisville. I'll just, you know, eventually find another team

320
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.839
because this has been it's been weird
getting used to not having you know,

321
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:38.440
a team to to, you know, to follow all year as far as

322
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:41.640
a deep run. But with Purdue
and n C State, I mean,

323
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:45.799
Purdue is a team that I just
feel like they don't play a sexy style

324
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.039
in the eyes of a lot of
folks, especially with the new era of

325
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:49.640
basketball. But they're damn good.
They were good all year. They were

326
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:52.559
great last year, and I think
because they were made the Final four under

327
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.200
Matt Painter. They lost to a
sixteen seed last year, anybody who watched

328
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:57.759
them throughout the season that they were
one of the best teams in the country,

329
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:02.440
but you felt you feel unsure about
trusting them to make it all the

330
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:06.640
way here because again, it hadn't
happened before. But they are I'm surprised

331
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:08.759
this is not a bigger storyline in
this Final Four is that they are on

332
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:12.960
path to do potentially exactly what Virginia
did. It was to a sixteen seed

333
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:17.039
yep, we thought would never happen, and then go win the national championship.

334
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:18.279
Now, yea, he passed n
C State. E'sier said and done,

335
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:21.920
and obviously New CON's a monster.
But I actually like Matt Painter.

336
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:23.240
I think he's a really good coach. I don't think you could really make

337
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:26.160
a case that he's not. He
finally broke through. His team is really

338
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:29.519
good and he does it his way. Man. I know he's got players

339
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:32.599
that were decently ranked and had some
good offers, but overall, I mean

340
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:34.400
there's some guys on that team that
you can just tell probably were not elite

341
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:37.119
level recruits, but they fit the
way he wants to play. Meeting coach

342
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.599
Painter, and they're a damn gore
team. You know. I think NC

343
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.079
State's magic. I feel like he
should have ran out a long time ago,

344
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:45.880
but here they are. And DJ
Burns he's been the darling of the

345
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:49.559
tournament. And just the visual of
those two guys guarding each other, I

346
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:52.759
mean, those two guys for very
different reasons. Just if you look at

347
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.920
the cast of characters in the entire
tournament, those two guys stand out in

348
00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.400
more ways than one, and now
we're going to see him going up against

349
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:04.039
each other. Do we have any
idea at all what Louisville's roster is going

350
00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:10.720
to look like next year? A
lot different, in fact, entirely different.

351
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:12.720
So right now they've got two guys
that have followed. Pat Kelsey from

352
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:18.480
Charleston freshman big who didn't have big
numbers, but certainly a guy that has

353
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.079
a lot of upside and for what
it's worth, it wouldn't be great at

354
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.000
this level. But Pat Kelsey at
the College of Charleston and the CIA did

355
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:29.359
recruit pretty pretty well. In fact, he had top one fifty players and

356
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:33.480
that didn't happen at places like that. And also Rain Smith is a journeyman,

357
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:34.920
a guy who's been around for four
I think his fifty year, but

358
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:37.680
he's he's a sharp shooter, guy
who shot at forty percent from three.

359
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:44.160
And then yesterday they had the addition
of Sunbelt player year Terrence Terrence. It

360
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:47.640
goes by Fats, but Terrence Edwards
Junior is his name. He was part

361
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:49.440
of that James Madison team that had
a great season thirty two and four.

362
00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:56.839
So like Fats Domino or like Fats, it's just Fatts, that's his nickname,

363
00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.799
so fast Edwards. Yeah, and
he's not he's not fat at all.

364
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:04.240
He's very thin actually, but yeah, so he's I mean, he's

365
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:07.720
one of the top ten players available
in the portal right now, Dave.

366
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.519
To your question, Dave, nobody
has a clue. But it's exciting just

367
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:14.720
knowing it's gonna be brand new.
And here's one thing that right now,

368
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:18.279
Pat Kelsey has at his disposal one
a lot of nile resources, which is

369
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.640
needed this day and age. He's
already a great salesman. We know that.

370
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.160
And also like he's not waiting around
to hear what anybody's gonna do.

371
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:29.640
He's got right now as we speak, ten scholarships to use, and he's

372
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:33.200
he's flying across the country trying to
find guys to fill out this roster.

373
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.279
So you know it'll happen pretty quickly
though, because the portal, you know,

374
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:40.880
the window of it being open is
not what it once was. So

375
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:42.200
who knows. I would be shocked
with him the next week. We've got

376
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:45.279
a couple maybe three more guys on
this roster, and it'll be weird,

377
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:49.640
man. I mean, we're talking
about you have turnover in years past in

378
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:55.759
college basketball, but we are going
to see I'm pretty sure thirteens get scholarship

379
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:59.039
players on this team next year that
we'd never heard of probably a year prior,

380
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:00.839
which is just insane, but hey, it's it's it's the way it's

381
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.920
got to be done. But it's
a great I was thinking of this.

382
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.480
I agree it's all gonna be new
players, and there's not one from the

383
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.160
year before. But it's a great
way for fans like me that jumped out

384
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:15.200
to jump back in because no one
knows the players, and you're like,

385
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.279
well, let's get to let's all
get to know him right now and and

386
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:21.440
and learn them because to get back
in because I'm back in and this coach

387
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:23.200
got me back in, I'm interested
in the games. Come in. I

388
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:27.720
will always remember the press conference and
how awesome it was. And I always

389
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:32.359
remember the technicism that you sent me
during the press confidence because I felt I

390
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:34.559
felt the exact same way. And
let me tell you a funny story about

391
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:38.000
Pat Kelsey that I so obviously those
I think a lot of people know his

392
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:41.799
history. He was an assistant for
Chris mcintzavier for a little while. They

393
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.079
kind of came up in the same
coaching tree Skip Prosser, and I talked

394
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.119
to a couple of people to day
he was going to be introduced and know

395
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:49.319
him really well. He just said, hey, you know, this is

396
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:52.359
hit the moment, right, like
the press conference, speaking like selling,

397
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.720
like this is where he's going to
thrive. Uh and and two different people

398
00:25:56.799 --> 00:25:59.519
said, oh, yeah, he'll
kill it. And then they also said

399
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:03.720
that he's a used car salesman.
And I've always thought that meant somebody's a

400
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:04.720
phony. I've always thought that was
like an insult. I'm like, wait

401
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:07.920
a second, you go talking this
guy up. Yeah, how great he's

402
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.880
gonna be. And yet you're telling
me he's a phony. And then here

403
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:12.480
he comes at the press conference,
talks about selling used cars. That's how

404
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:15.680
he made a living before we could
get paid. Yes, I'm thinking,

405
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.839
okay, they were being serious.
The guy is a salesman. Yes,

406
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.400
yes, there's nothing against used car
salesman. Dude, that's what I did

407
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:25.519
for I got in the radio,
you jerk, and you were you were

408
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:27.160
a phony, yank. Oh you
could see that. Thank you, Thank

409
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:30.599
you all right, man, we'll
talk to you. Oh boy, give

410
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:33.839
me the leaves a right, Yeah, give me, give me the national

411
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.839
champion. You got ten seconds national
champion. It's Yukon. I just can't

412
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:40.599
see them being beat they They've had
a thirty point lead on everybody throughout this

413
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:41.759
tournament. I think it'll be competitive
in both of these games, but I

414
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:45.400
think Dan Hurley wins his back to
back titles. Wow. All right,

415
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:48.960
Nick Coffee's his name. From three
pm to six pm on Sports Talk seven

416
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:51.599
to ninety. We'll talk to you
soon. Go back to Raking Leaves all

417
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:55.480
right, back after this on News
Radio eight forty wh
