00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:08.679
It's time for coffee and company,
fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven nine

2
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:11.640
day, Holy crap, I don't
know who the hell we think when we

3
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.919
are get off our show, idiot. The kids are crying or turn off

4
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:19.199
crying. The countries are screwing it
up. Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother,

5
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.559
gold Play Inner Murals. They're supposed
to be mature adults, but they're

6
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:27.920
really not. Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you

7
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:45.920
kidding me? Now here's nick coffee? All right, let's get after it.

8
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.799
Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome in.
It is a Tuesday, but for

9
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.280
me it's like a Friday because this
is my last show of the weekend.

10
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.679
Then I'm out of here for a
few days and I am looking forward to

11
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.119
it. And trust me, I'm
not gonna bore you with my travel plans,

12
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.359
as I'm sure many of you don't
care. But I know I'm not

13
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.519
the only one that gets pre travel
anxiety, and I haven't had it in

14
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:10.760
a while, but I think it's
emerging now for me because, as I've

15
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:14.599
mentioned yesterday, this is a trip
that I've known was gonna happen. It's

16
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.519
it's an important trip, I'm happy
to be going and I'm looking forward to

17
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.359
it. But since the plan was
put together to make this trip, I

18
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.120
assumed it was in July, and
you know, clearly I was wrong.

19
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.319
And I'm glad that we finally started
discussing the trip, and I realized,

20
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.400
like, why is my wife continuing
to talk about this Like it's like it's

21
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.879
tomorrow, Like we got time.
We don't need to be getting things together

22
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.560
now. I know she's the planner
and always tries to help me as a

23
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.280
procrastinator, but then, you know, I think, I think the shock

24
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.519
and surprise has me a little little
word and I'm gonna you know, I'm

25
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.280
gonna miss the show. It's always
nice to get some time off, and

26
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.719
this is the best time of the
year to take time off, and I'm

27
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.040
looking forward to it. But I
don't know what it is. If you

28
00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:00.879
guys have any tips on ways to
you know, not have pre travel trip

29
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.480
anxiety. If you know what I'm
talking about. You know what I'm talking

30
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.200
about, right, you've probably experienced
it. If not, then you probably

31
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.039
just you know, thinking I've got
issues, which you're probably right. But

32
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:15.840
I think the fact that we're driving
is a factor here. You've mentioned before

33
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:17.840
you're not a driving type of dude
for vacation with the kids, and that

34
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.560
makes it. I mean, I'd
rather fly than drive anyway, just because

35
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.439
if I'm going somewhere that takes a
long time to get there, then you

36
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.439
know, you save a lot of
time. This trip makes no sense to

37
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.280
fly. We were always going to
drive, but we're even splitting the trip

38
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:31.080
up on the way there, and
I'm still thinking, like, man,

39
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.280
I hope my kids are good,
and I'm going to believe in the power

40
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.000
of positivity and hope that they are
going to be good, and we're going

41
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.000
to have a great trip. So
I'm out of here after today. And

42
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:47.719
then you'll have the regular rotating guests
that join us to phill Well they join

43
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.240
they joined the show to fill in
for me. Well I'm gone, Scott

44
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.919
Fitzgerald, and also Tony and Dave, so again you'll be in good hands,

45
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.840
all right. It is Coffee and
Company. We are fueled by Thornton's

46
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.719
here on Sports Talk seven ninety nit
coffee that is the company. Man,

47
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.840
mister John Alden riding shotgun this morning
as we take you up till six o'clock.

48
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.560
Did I say this morning see I'm
rattled, I'm off my game,

49
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.800
I'm overthinking it. It's not morning
time, geez, I haven't done that

50
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.400
in a long time. It's been
a while. It's not morning time,

51
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.840
it is afternoon. I don't know
what it is. But thank you for

52
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.479
correcting me. And by the way, when I say stuff like that,

53
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.400
never feel like you can't like chime
in and tell me, hey, you

54
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.479
know you're an idiot and that's not
what you said. But maybe we get

55
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.120
some kind of like sounder that you
just have ready when I say something like

56
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.280
that, like hey, it's a
you know, I say the wrong day.

57
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:35.840
You know, when I, you
know, get a name wrong,

58
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.439
which happens pretty often. Yeah,
that that'll work for now. But yes,

59
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:43.800
trust me anything that a big part
of this brand that is this show.

60
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.960
And even before it was called The
Coffee and Company, when it was

61
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:51.080
The Red Zone, self deprecation is
is a big, big factor. It's

62
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.360
a fabric within whatever you want to
call this. A lot of people call

63
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.000
it a radio show, some say
programs, some say a train wreck.

64
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.520
But you know, we're here,
all right, So this is a good

65
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:05.120
time of the years I mentioned to
not be around because I couldn't I couldn't

66
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:12.759
get over how disinterested I was in
every aspect of the NBA Finals, and

67
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.079
it was clearly a storyline, like
it was a talking point. It just

68
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.120
didn't seem to have It didn't move
the needle for a lot of people.

69
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:27.879
And typically when you hear people complaining
about a National Championship game, an NBA

70
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.319
Finals matchup, maybe even a Super
Bowl matchup, which you rarely, you

71
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:35.000
rarely hear about that, but the
conversation will eventually shift to people that want

72
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.800
to play devil's advocate or just take
the other side just to be different,

73
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.600
kind of go against the grain.
But that never really seemed to happen here.

74
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.040
So you know, let me give
an example. I remember whenever we

75
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:53.240
got Clemson and Alabama in the National
Championship game, what felt like three out

76
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.399
of four years. I don't know
if that is accurate, but it felt

77
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.519
like for a good little stretch there, it was those two teams playing for

78
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.480
a national championship, and you know, people claim they wanted something different.

79
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.560
It's the same two teams. And
I don't think that that's a crazy thing

80
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:10.639
to throw out there. However,
if you really have no rooting interest,

81
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.120
like if you're not a you know, if you're not a fan of any

82
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:15.680
of the teams that are in it, or I guess the two teams that

83
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.920
are playing for the championship, and
you're not a hater, right, like

84
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.240
you don't like they're not a rival
or anything, then I would assume that

85
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:28.800
you'd want the two best teams playing
in the college football National Championship. So

86
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.600
again, there's been there's been complaints
out there about us getting to the end

87
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.720
of a season in a specific sport, college or pro, and everybody just

88
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.800
seems to be kind of ho hum
about it. But it usually shifts.

89
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.480
It never did with this. I
feel like everybody watched all five of these

90
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.959
games in the finals and felt like, man, this sucks. And I

91
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.199
can't disagree because I kind of felt
the same. Was it the Patriots and

92
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:54.839
the Rams that played in the Super
Bowl a few years ago and it was

93
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.600
like the worst prop I mean it
was, I mean, the Super Bowl

94
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.959
is always going to do big numbers, but the game itself was just really,

95
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.160
really awful. I think it was
Trey Wingo, who was still with

96
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:09.879
ESPN at the time, and he
did some kind of very staged, awkward,

97
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:15.439
corny cringe hot take where he just
started yelling about people complaining about the

98
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.839
Super Bowl, telling him if you
don't like it, don't watch it.

99
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:23.120
It was so cringe and uncomfortable,
which, by the way, that's exactly

100
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.920
how I would describe Jason Tatum last
night after the Boston Celtics won the NBA

101
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.120
Championship. And I don't, you
know, I don't dislike Boston, right,

102
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:35.639
I don't. There's no real hatred
that I have for them, although

103
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:41.199
I do oftentimes find myself more often
than not rooting against them. But it's

104
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.279
not like I hate him. There's
not a player that played for him or

105
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.639
a team they had over the years
that I just really despised. So you

106
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.279
know, I'm not I'm not bothered
they want it, but I'm certainly not.

107
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.839
You know, I literally could not
find a reason to care one way

108
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.439
or the other about what happened in
the NBA Finals. But I will say

109
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:03.519
this, I'm glad it's over because
I don't. I mean, I guess

110
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.839
they're gonna have the celebration at the
parade, which will be on Friday in

111
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:12.079
Boston, which I do love.
The greatest city in the world, Boston,

112
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.839
And now we're gonna go to Miami
for three days to celebrate winning the

113
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.920
National or the NBA title and not
stay in the city that you know,

114
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:23.240
we reside in where we are employed
and the fans are, We're gonna go

115
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:25.600
to Miami. Like it just seems, you know, I get it,

116
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.120
Like a lot of people would say, hey, let's let's do a celebratory

117
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.560
trip, let's go to let's go
to Miami, like it's probably a big

118
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.800
destination for those kind of things.
But to hear about best city in the

119
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.879
world, you know, last night, and then here that they're probably already

120
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.879
gone, like they've probably already got
on the plane, and they're probably in

121
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:45.199
Miami drinking, you know, a
beverage right now on the beach. So

122
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.800
but Jason Tatum, I think Jason
Tatum is a really, really good player.

123
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:53.759
I think he comes off really,
really likable. I don't think he

124
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:58.040
seems dirty. He doesn't seem too
cocky, Like when I watch him play

125
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.879
on the floor, I feel like
he carries himself pret well. But I

126
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.759
don't disagree with those that are claiming
he might in fact be one of the

127
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:11.720
corniest players in the history of the
NBA. I mean, that's an exaggeration,

128
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.480
that's some recency biased, but you
know, for him to be asked

129
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:22.439
before the game about the NBA Finals
MVP, for him to claim that he

130
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:28.000
doesn't really care and then go on
to mention all of the players that did

131
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.919
not win NBA Finals MVP on some
of their various trips to the finals.

132
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.440
That is telling us you don't care, but actually telling us you care in

133
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.559
a major way. And by the
way, it's normal to care. I

134
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.200
don't. I just I don't know
why it would be a problem to say,

135
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.879
yeah, that'd be great. Obviously
would be a big accomplishment. You

136
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:48.480
know, I'm gonna keep trying not
to let it get to me, but

137
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.799
play the best I can. I
mean, I'm not giving you the actual

138
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.120
pr prepped message that I would,
you know that he would be advised to

139
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.120
give, but like, there's something
wrong with acknowledging that you would love to

140
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.759
have that as part of your legacy. But there's a forced I don't really

141
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.519
care that makes you look, makes
it look like you really it's just a

142
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:13.000
bad look. And then last night, I mean, the unintentionally being funny

143
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.120
and like not like he did this. I'll let you hear it. You

144
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.320
have to see because visually it's it's
really I mean, in fact, if

145
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.840
you are somebody that gets uncomfortable and
you get like secondhand embarrassment like I do,

146
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.200
maybe don't watch this, but here's
what he had to say last night.

147
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:37.759
We did it. We did it. Maybe he's possible. God.

148
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:43.919
So that was Kevin Garnett who did
something similar when they won the championship,

149
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:48.480
what fifteen sixteen years ago, and
Tatum it just looks forced and it was

150
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.720
like he practiced in the mirror probably
every day during the NBA Finals for that

151
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:58.360
moment, and it just I was
talking about this series with my stepdad over

152
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.279
the weekend, just how we hoping
that the series would get extended, just

153
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.879
because you know, if it got
to a game seven, that would make

154
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.440
it to where people who were done
and checked out would check back in,

155
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.039
right, I would think if you're
a basketball fan, an NBA fan,

156
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:16.039
even to a tiny extent, But
Tatum's just not comfortable in that, Like

157
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.240
it just seems like such a force
anytime he's in that spotlight. It doesn't

158
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.840
mean he's a bad guy. I
don't dislike him, but like I'm now

159
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.759
going to think to myself, like
if they ever you know, if I

160
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.159
see somebody sharing clips of him talking
to the crowd like at the parade.

161
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.759
I'm gonna I'm gonna scroll right past
because I don't want to see it now

162
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.679
because it's gonna make me angry.
But there's a level of like uncomfortable.

163
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.639
I don't know, like second hit
embarrassment may like be a little bit of

164
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:46.360
a stretch because maybe others would say, like why would anybody be embarrassed about

165
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.399
that? He just want a national
chance, He just want an NBA title,

166
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.360
Like I get it, but it's
just it's corny and it just seems

167
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.759
really forced and it I don't know. I just and then like last night,

168
00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.919
I don't this audio may not sound
good, but this is him is

169
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.240
they were celebrating last night. I
don't know if this was at like some

170
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.960
club or if this was if this
was I don't know where this is,

171
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.399
but hopefully the audios is. You
know, you can hear it. I

172
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:26.080
know everybody who wonder what would happened
if you didn't where I guess, like

173
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:33.159
that's not controversial, that's not that
that may not even sound like it's anything

174
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.919
other than what you would expect someone
to say in his position, but it

175
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.320
just like you know, he probably
wrote that line out and practiced it and

176
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.840
thought, I don't know, just
it's you know, that's something Kanye West

177
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.799
said before, right, yes,
yeah, and it's just still well,

178
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.840
okay, so I knew he quoted
Kanye West. I didn't know that was

179
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.240
what that was. So thank you
for I knew that, you know,

180
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.720
because it's not just me going out
of my way to like knock on this

181
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:00.799
guy, who, by the way, I feel like a always been believed

182
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.600
to be pretty likable in the NBA
as a player, but like it just

183
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:09.840
it seems very just forced and it's
almost as if like he's again. I

184
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.399
just think it comes down to him
being uncomfortable and I think, you know,

185
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.039
he's he's delivering these I guess soundbites
that he thinks are going to be

186
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.799
like legendary, and it just I
don't know, it's it's it's a little

187
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.879
much. But you know, he's
a hell of a player, and uh,

188
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:33.440
you know, congrats to the Celtics. He apparently yeah, he looks

189
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.840
like he Also he also quoted Angel
Reese. This is I I said,

190
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.840
yeah, this is after Uh,
I guess this is post Let me see,

191
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.320
is this what they're gonna say.
Now that was after LSU won the

192
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.840
national championship two years ago, and
you know what they're gonna say, Now,

193
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.320
what they're gonna say now, it's
like he's so unoriginal dry. Yeah,

194
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.759
he's just spooning other things that have
been said that were like very like,

195
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:07.200
that's a very generic thing to say. It's not there's nothing wrong with

196
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.480
saying it, like, it's not
a you know, I don't think that's

197
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.519
a controversial thing to say. That
doesn't make you unlikable, but yeah,

198
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.440
like what they go, It's like
he wanted to make sure he was ready

199
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.519
to deliver these kind of things,
and he just copied off other people and

200
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.480
tried to, I guess, put
his own, you know, literally,

201
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:26.840
you go from I mean we're talking
three different people that he clearly had in

202
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.080
his back pocket that he was going
to I don't want to say steal from,

203
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.240
because he's got to. I don't
think he's an idiot. He'd be

204
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.759
a real dummy to think that people
wouldn't know that he's he's doing. I

205
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:37.080
mean, in fact, I think
the Kevin Garnett thing was honestly something he

206
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.120
probably thought would be a cool look
given the fact that this is the first

207
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.679
title for the Celtics since KG one
one whenever. That was two thousand and

208
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:48.159
eight, two thousand and nine.
So but Angel Rees and then Kanye West,

209
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.879
Like, I don't know it just
it seems really really forced and less

210
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:54.279
is more like sometimes you know,
just you know, saying, man,

211
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.399
I'm so excited, I'm so happy, and then just give us some fake

212
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.399
tears or something like that'll I mean, I don't know. I mean,

213
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:03.120
this is somebody who clearly does pay
attention to what people say about him,

214
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.320
which, by the way, I
think that's one of the biggest lies in

215
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.919
society, that you don't care people
think or say about you. I think

216
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.919
there are levels to it. Clearly, there are some that can deal with

217
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:16.799
people saying whatever about him and handle
it better than others. But like this

218
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:18.519
notion that you don't ever care or
listen, like I don't even like I

219
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.879
didn't even know that people thought that
of me. I just think that's for

220
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.360
the most part, a big lie, and there's nothing wrong with it.

221
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.200
But whenever you know that, just
you know, play it cool, like,

222
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.639
don't try to like win people over. I mean, I guess,

223
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.639
I guess there's no harm in trying, but I think it was a failed

224
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.279
attempt. And anytime I see any
of these and the one up of Angel

225
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.080
Reese is the first, you know, that's the first time I've seen the

226
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:46.000
one that is, you know,
him saying exactly what she said. And

227
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.840
there's a chance that like maybe you
know, he didn't even realize she had

228
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.440
said it. He just you know, because that's a very generic thing to

229
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:56.200
say. I mean, that's not
like, that's not real original, you

230
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.759
know what I'm saying. But then
the way he said it exactly how she

231
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.960
said it, it just seemed a
little bit forced. So again, congrats

232
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.679
to the Celtics. Uh, now
we wait for you know, now we

233
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.600
wait for the NBA Draft, which
I am a big draft guy. Then

234
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.360
again, you know, the NBA
draft this year is believed to be one

235
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:18.000
of the you know, weakest drafts
in the history of the sport. But

236
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.279
don't need to do another Coffee and
Company draft. Yeah, I we got

237
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:26.879
to think of some some new new
thing to draft. I mean, yeah,

238
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.440
we kind of emptied the bag last
summer with a weekly draft, which

239
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.240
was a lot of fun. Maybe
we could revisit some of those because who

240
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.000
knows, I'm sure there are people
listening now that didn't listen at that time,

241
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:41.559
and maybe our selections would change over
time. But yeah, those that's

242
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:46.600
always good stuff to do in the
summer, the weekly weekly drafts. All

243
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:48.759
right, So if you guys want
to be a part of the show today

244
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:50.399
you can. I'm going to try
to make this as interactive as possible.

245
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.600
We'll let you guys join in in
a variety of ways. You can give

246
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.240
us a call f i W two
five seven nine hundred. That's the number

247
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.240
again to give us a call.
You can text in on the L and

248
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.879
N Federal Credit Union text line five
two sixty five three zero seven ninety.

249
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.600
And uh, we're gonna be all
over the place today. With it being

250
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.480
my last show of the week,
I'm gonna go in a not a different

251
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.240
direction necessarily as far as you know, I'm not going to turn it into

252
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.759
a political talk show. However,
Uh, you know, this is one

253
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.080
of those days where nothing's off the
table. I mean, I'm not gonna

254
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.440
get myself fired and talk about things
that you know would get me fired or

255
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:26.639
express things that would get me fired. But you know what I mean,

256
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.080
we should just talk forty five the
whole time. Donald Trump, Huh,

257
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.039
yeah, could be political forty seven. I said, I'm not going to

258
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.200
turn it into a political talk show. I mean that would be I mean

259
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.200
that actually that would be I don't
know, that would be the easiest way

260
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.759
to to I don't know. I
feel like you could really hook people in

261
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.080
if you know what I mean,
like if you just started saying outlandish things

262
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.600
like just being completely one side or
the other, like like what do they

263
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:55.600
called the radical left and the radical
right? They throw the radical on the

264
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.679
front of it, and it means
this person's an unhinged Democrat or a you

265
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:03.599
know, off the rocker Republican,
and you know, you just I'm not

266
00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:08.960
gonna do that. I've occasionally kind
of dip my toe in those waters,

267
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.960
and I get a little satisfaction in
reeling some people in, you know,

268
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.240
who take the bait. But it's
not worth it because it could only it

269
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.400
could only hurt me, I think. But anyways, we'll we'll mix it

270
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.079
up throughout the uh, throughout the
show today. But one thing I do

271
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:25.960
want to do before we get to
our first break is let you guys know

272
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.400
about my friends over at the Louisville
Men's Clinic, because they can help you

273
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:33.880
fellas in a variety of ways.
If it's a rectiutis function, they can

274
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.920
certainly help you there, and they've
got a variety of different types of treatment

275
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:41.160
they can offer to you to help
get you back on track. Rectault as

276
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.920
function is a serious thing. It
happens to a lot of folks, and

277
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:51.519
I can't imagine having it in not
wanting to address it right because if you

278
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:53.920
have a partner, I mean that
could that could really create some issues and

279
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:57.079
I would hope that your partner would
be there to support you throughout it,

280
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.720
but you you also have to consider
it could be something that could impact your

281
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:04.720
partner make maybe make them feel a
certain way about themselves. So ED is

282
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:08.559
a serious issue across the world,
and it's more common than people realize.

283
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:12.759
It's probably an uncomfortable conversation for most
people to have, understandably so. But

284
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.160
the first step in getting it corrected
to where you don't have to worry about

285
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:19.200
it anymore is reaching out to my
friends at the louis of Men's Clinic FABO

286
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:22.519
to four four four four thousand is
the number. You can check them out

287
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:26.319
online at Louisville Men's Clinic dot com. And it's not just DD maybe it's

288
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.759
low testosterone and low testosterone you know, trust me, it is an issue,

289
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:32.960
but you may not realize it's an
issue. Right. You could have

290
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.079
low T and still say that you
feel pretty good about where you are as

291
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:40.119
far as a health standpoint, You
feel pretty good about you know, your

292
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.400
workouts and those kind of things.
You feel like, you know, age

293
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:48.599
hasn't hit you like a brick wall, but you could feel better, right,

294
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.359
Because that was me. I didn't
feel like I had any crazy issues.

295
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:53.559
It wasn't like I needed to call
my physician because something wasn't right.

296
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.240
I just knew something wasn't adding up
right. It wasn't as if I was

297
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.759
in pain or I had any kind
of real al man. I just knew,

298
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.480
like, hey, is what's going
on here? So I knew a

299
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:07.920
little bit about what low T was. And then I heard the commercials that

300
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:10.400
you hear on our family of stations
here at Ihart Louisville, and I thought,

301
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:11.119
you know what, why not go
in and get it checked out?

302
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.440
Why not go at least get these
levels checked and see if the T is

303
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.960
where it needs to be. And
it was not. The tea was low,

304
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:23.440
but low T no MO because of
Louisville Men's Clinic. So give him

305
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:27.000
a call if f ibo two four
four four four thousand, Louisvillemen's Clinic dot

306
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:33.440
com. All right, let me
set the table for you guys today,

307
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.079
just to give you a little bit
of a rundown of what I have in

308
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.680
store for us over these next two
hours and forty minutes. There's a really

309
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.079
interesting well, there's a list out
there that the list existing should not surprise

310
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:49.240
you, but just to see the
age, the ages, I should say,

311
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:52.880
if some of these dudes still playing
college sports is wild. But there's

312
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.279
the annual because it's going to be
an annual thing. Now. I can't

313
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.359
believe he's still in college list,
so the athletic put it together to take

314
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:02.960
a look at that. Also,
I can't believe I forgot to mention this

315
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.880
yesterday. But how about Bill Belichick? How about my man Bill Belichick,

316
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.759
the Hoodie as Jim Rome has famously
called him. Seventy two year old Bill

317
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:18.200
Belichick is in a serious relationship with
a twenty four year old smoke show And

318
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.000
this is probably not that uncommon for
dudes in their seventies that are rich as

319
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:27.480
hell and famous. But man,
just trying to, you know, be

320
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:32.519
a fly on the wall as seventy
two year old Bill Belichick of all people,

321
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:34.880
is conversing with a twenty four year
old woman. It's just something I

322
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:40.240
cannot see. What the hell would
they talk about at all? I mean,

323
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:42.480
look, Bill Belichick seemed more like
a human being than I've ever seen

324
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:47.200
him at the roast of Tom Brady. But still we're talking about, you

325
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:51.839
know, showing some signs of life
and being a real living human and not

326
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:56.599
a robot. But just some comparisons
out there as far as like, I

327
00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:59.960
mean, seventy two and twenty four, that's a forty eight year age gap,

328
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.440
folks. That's insane. And I
know some people are like, well,

329
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:06.759
man, good good for you,
But good for you Belichick, my

330
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:08.799
man. Okay. I mean,
look, if that's the way you feel,

331
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:11.400
that's the way you feel, I'm
not afraid to say that's weird as

332
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:17.559
hell. Like that is weird as
hell. Also, this has become an

333
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:22.720
annual thing that I love, losers
of fantasy football leagues. The creativity that

334
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:27.480
goes into these punishments for coming in
last. There's one out there that took

335
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:30.160
place over the weekend that went viral. I want to take a look at

336
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:36.759
that. And here's what we're gonna
see. I mean, there's I mean,

337
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:40.920
there's no reports that it's happening,
but it's coming. And that is

338
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:45.839
these college basketball November early December tournaments
that are all gonna be about in IL

339
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:53.160
and bowl games. Maybe bowl games
become you know, I mean, people

340
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.119
still watch them, believe it or
not. I was gonna say watchable,

341
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:00.599
but like, people still watch bowl
games even though we know that the teams

342
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.680
you're seeing are not the teams that
played in twelve games because the majority of

343
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.160
guys for good teams don't play anymore. But people do still watch. But

344
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.279
they'd be even more worth watching if, in fact they were the real teams,

345
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.720
and if NIL becomes a big factor
and there's some big paydays on the

346
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.200
line for these guys in college,
even if they are going to try to

347
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.400
make it to the NFL, I
mean, even if they're out of eligibility

348
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:22.839
and they know they need to train
for the NFL draft, If there's a

349
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:27.240
legitimate money on the line to participate
in these bowl games and you can get

350
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:30.680
you know, a payment up front
just for being in the game, and

351
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:34.480
then if you win, there's an
even bigger incentive that the winning team shares.

352
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.519
I mean money. Look, money
talks, right. I mean you'll

353
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.119
probably still see some dudes not play, especially those that can, you know,

354
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.039
opt out and know for sure they're
going to be a first round pick.

355
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.880
But bowl games should be awesome,
and they've just really stunk over the

356
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:56.400
years because for the most part,
it's a very watered down version of a

357
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.160
team that sometimes isn't even that good, right of a seven and five bowl

358
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:06.519
team that's missing five of their best
players. I mean, who was it

359
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:10.279
Western Kentucky last year in their bowl
game? I mean it's Western Kentucky.

360
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:12.559
No offense to the Hilltoppers, although
it's a fraudulent school because Western Kentucky's actually

361
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:18.319
not located in Western Kentucky. It's
in south central Kentucky. But anyhow,

362
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.799
WKU. They had their quarterback,
the kid who apparently transferred a few years

363
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.240
back. I can't think of his
name. He was really good, put

364
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:29.799
up big numbers, but you know, he sat out of the bowl game,

365
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:32.799
and he was believed to be like
a seventh round pick at best,

366
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:34.200
and I'm not even sure if he
ended up getting drafted or not. So

367
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:40.400
they ended up putting in a guy
in the who was it? I wish

368
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:41.640
I had these names, not that
it matters, but there was a kid

369
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.319
from bowling and it was a walk
on that was on Western Kentucky's roster,

370
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.920
big six to six kid, and
he'd already entered the portal but ended up

371
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.440
going with the team I guess for
like emergency situation to this bowl game.

372
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.559
Well, sure enough, he was
the starter, played the whole game,

373
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:57.440
played his ass off, and you
know, didn't pull his name out of

374
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:00.759
the portal, used that performance to
end up. I don't know where he

375
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:04.200
ended up, but either way,
my point is this, even those level

376
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:10.440
of bowl games are having guys just
not play because there's no reason for them

377
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:11.640
to play. They don't even have
a chance of getting drafted, but they

378
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:14.960
just don't want to get hurt and
not be able to work out for NFL

379
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:17.400
teams. Well, if there's money
on the line, that changes. And

380
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.160
college football is already a monster,
and look now that you're gonna get twelve

381
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.079
teams in the playoff, some of
those bowl games are gonna seem even less

382
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:29.799
relevant. But again, if everybody's
playing, or most of the guys are

383
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.799
playing because money's involved, that's the
best case scenario, I think, all

384
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.720
right, don't go anywhere. It's
coffee and company. We are fueled by

385
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.559

got, feel free to send them
our way. So I haven't heard this

391
00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:02.920
yet, but I believe this person
on the text line who says that.

392
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:06.119
On one of his other radio interviews, Pat Kelsey's mentioned that the team is

393
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:10.440
doing a summer trip, which that
makes me very excited. I don't know

394
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:15.519
if there's been any details made public
or if he shared them, but man,

395
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:21.200
I really, really really hope that
that is the case, and it's

396
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:23.640
like a type of trip that fans
could maybe go to. I know a

397
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:27.200
lot of those take place, you
know, across in another country. So

398
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:30.319
I don't know anything as far as
other than what you've shared with me on

399
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:34.279
the text line. But that's perfect
for this group because you know, they're

400
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:38.039
already on campus and they've been going
through workouts over the last week or so

401
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:44.039
and practicing at whatever level they're allowed
to practice, which is valuable. But

402
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:47.559
Louisville has not been on one of
these trips in ten years, I think,

403
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:49.920
or close to it. In fact, the last time Louisville went on

404
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:56.440
a I guess, I guess they're
always out of the country. I don't.

405
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:59.240
I mean, I guess you could
probably do something, you know,

406
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:02.079
in in the United States. But
I feel like all the trips, and

407
00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:03.720
I'm not just talking about Louisville,
but the you know, the out of

408
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:08.319
country trips that you see college basketball
programs take. They usually end up in

409
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:12.880
the Bahamas or in Puerto Rico.
That's where Louisville went last time. You

410
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:18.400
can go across the pond to somewhere
in Europe. In fact, Louisville took

411
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:21.720
one in two thousand and seven.
I believe it was to Canada, like

412
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:23.559
to French Canada, I believe.
So don't know where they're going, but

413
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:26.240
it's really really good to be good
for this team to get just more reps

414
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.839
and they'll probably be playing against competition
that's not close to the level of what

415
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:34.759
you'll see night in and night out
when you play you know, college basketball,

416
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:41.880
but just a brand new team getting
extra opportunities to one compete together and

417
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.160
get a feel for one another.
And you know, even though they're not

418
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:47.920
real games, it is a game
setting, not just a workout or a

419
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:52.440
practice and spending time together. I
mean not to be corny, but you

420
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.079
know those kinds of trips I feel
like, or where you really can get

421
00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.960
to know one another in bond and
you know, conform some team camarade so

422
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:06.839
very exciting. I would imagine details
will be announced here soon, and that's

423
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:10.200
great for the team. You know, that doesn't mean I'm gonna, you

424
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:14.079
know, go ahead and start giving
expectations of what I think this team is

425
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:21.240
going to do. I mean I've
said since really since they added for I

426
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:23.519
think Noah Waterman was probably the last
edition that really made me feel like,

427
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:26.519
Okay, this is a team that
they can make the tournament. Are they

428
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.319
gonna get in the tournament? I
don't know, but I think they have

429
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:36.599
a tournament caliber roster. And I
wouldn't at all expect Pat Kelsey to shy

430
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:41.119
away from that because I think he
knows. We heard enough about how difficult.

431
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.480
It was, and I doubt that
Pat Kelsey's doing or thinking anything about

432
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:48.880
the previous regime here at Louisville.
But he's aware of what the message was

433
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:53.079
from the previous coach around here that
we were impatient and it takes time,

434
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:57.640
he needs us, and you know, the program was broken. I mean,

435
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:00.240
those are things he said. Well, Pat Kelsey doesn't view it that

436
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:04.200
way at all, and I think
when asked at the press conference, I'm

437
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:07.960
paraphrasing here as far as what he
would say in regards to that whole thing.

438
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:11.880
Uh, you know, he said, ready, So you know,

439
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.680
I think they're going to be a
tournament team now if they end up making

440
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:18.880
these games available for people to watch, like on a stream, like fans

441
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:21.559
can tune in and buy a package
to watch all these games wherever they end

442
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:25.759
up playing, or if you know, if they end up you know,

443
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:27.480
making it to where if it's like
a convenient trip and fans go, I

444
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:32.319
may go if I can make it
work. But yeah, I can already

445
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:36.200
see it happening. Like once we
if we get to see just one game

446
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:40.680
of this team on some you know
stream when they're playing in I don't know,

447
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:44.880
Canada or maybe in Europe somewhere.
Uh, they'll they could be playing

448
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:48.680
guys that have never picked up a
basketball before. But just seeing this brand

449
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:53.480
new team together is going to get
me super excited because it's I mean,

450
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.039
we've never been and I can only
speak for myself, but I feel like

451
00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:59.839
I'm not alone here. As far
as the Louisville fan base, I don't

452
00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:04.839
think we've ever been this starved for
a team to watch that gives us something

453
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:08.039
good to see in, something to
believe in, and I think that's what

454
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:12.240
this team is. So I'm very
happy to hear that that that that's in

455
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:15.440
the works. Don't know any details, but I'm sure they'll be out before

456
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:19.599
too long. So thank you for
sharing that on the text line. All

457
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:23.119
right, five with two five seven
is the number if you want to jump

458
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:26.599
in and give us a call.
And we will now go to the phone

459
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.480
lines and welcome in. David.
David, what's happening? Brother? Doing

460
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.400
well? Nick? Always loved the
show, and by the way, I

461
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:40.200
am as excited as you are.
And I don't know the it's the feeling

462
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:45.279
around Louisville basketball has been so tepid. As much as I loved Kenny Payne,

463
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.319
I just can't believe that the things
started an end as the way it

464
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:56.160
did. But I have a question
that's completely different, and educate me a

465
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:59.319
little bit. It was the coach
at the Yukon. Is his name Danny

466
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:03.160
Hurley, Yes, Danny Hurley.
His brother's Bobby Hurley, who coaches Arizona

467
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.839
State. Okay, here's here is
my question. You know, I love

468
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:14.640
watch listening to talk radio and of
course sports talk television, and Chris Brussard

469
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:18.559
is you know, one of these
mouthpieces, and I know it's all opinion,

470
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:23.039
but he made the comment that he
thought Hurley was making a mistake by

471
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:30.279
not taking the Lakers job simply because
it's like, this is the pinnacle of

472
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:36.839
success in the sport of basketball.
Why wouldn't you take the LA Lakers job,

473
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:42.480
especially with college basketball being as down
as it is and the NBA being

474
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:48.160
as popular as it is. And
then the very next day I see and

475
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:55.599
hear that the NBA ratings for the
finals were in the absolute toilets. And

476
00:30:55.680 --> 00:31:00.839
I'd love to know, really how
many people watch the NBA A you know,

477
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:06.599
being a being a native Loiavillion and
a college basketball guy, I just

478
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:10.680
can't believe that as far as I'm
concerned he has a chance to do something

479
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:15.200
unprecedented since John Wooden. You know, he's I know, he's a Northeastern

480
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:19.160
guy, and why would you want
to go baby slit Lebron? I mean,

481
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:22.920
hell, Lebron coaches the damn team
anyway. So I just want to

482
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:26.559
see what your thoughts were, right
of sart Man, if the NCAA tournament

483
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:30.000
is as bad as you think it
is, and maybe he isn't watching the

484
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:36.319
same thing I am, and for
him to push the NBA to to this,

485
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.720
you know, to the apex of
of men's basketball, I you know,

486
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:44.039
I just had a hard time with
it, but love the show.

487
00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:45.599
Just love to know. Thank you, Thanks David. I appreciate It's a

488
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.599
good question. So Chris Broussard,
you know, he's an NBA guy,

489
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:56.680
and I disagree with everything that he
said in regards to why would you want

490
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:00.039
to stay in college basketball when the
NBA is on top? Now? The

491
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:05.440
NBA gets way more attention nationally than
college basketball, and I don't really see

492
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:08.680
that ever changing because the NBA is
I mean, it's it's one of the

493
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:14.440
it's the second most followed professional sport
in America. Now there's a humongous gap

494
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:20.079
between number one and number two.
But the NBA is is. I mean,

495
00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:27.319
look, pro sports dominate the the
you know, the national coverage they

496
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:30.200
just do. Now college football is
not far behind. In fact, college

497
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:35.680
football has more viewership when games matter
than most NBA games. So here's my

498
00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:37.640
thoughts on the NBA, David,
I think the NBA has done a really

499
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:40.119
good job and I don't even know
if it was strategic, but here's what's

500
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:45.279
happened. There's so much drama in
the NBA with players jumping from team to

501
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:51.359
team forming super teams. Players have
all of the power, right they will

502
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:54.240
sign a lucrative, long term deal, but you know what it'll include after

503
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:59.519
a year or two, a player
option to opt out and then decide what

504
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:01.759
you want to do. And even
if you don't leave your team, you

505
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:06.039
have the ability to. So there's
a lot of anticipation about where's this guy

506
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:07.599
gonna go? You know, what's
he gonna do. In fact, it's

507
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:10.440
already happening. Now there's NBA players
that are apparently, you know, unhappy

508
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:14.480
with the offer that their team's gonna
give them, so they're gonna opt out,

509
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:16.680
and you know, see what else
is out there. So because the

510
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:22.680
NBA has talked about it all times, it's that helps it in popularity.

511
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.559
They do a really good job of
marketing their superstars. I think some of

512
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:28.000
it's a little bit easier on their
end because there's not as many players in

513
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:30.160
the NBA and you can see them
like they're you know what you're looking at

514
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:34.319
right, football a little different baseball. I don't know how to help them,

515
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.680
but as far as people locking in
to consume the product that is the

516
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:42.160
NBA, it's not what you think
it is. Now, maybe we can

517
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.079
pull some numbers because I'm actually interested
now to hear or to see what these

518
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:50.200
numbers are after your call there,
David. But the NBA is talked about

519
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:52.839
a lot a lot more in college
basketball, no doubt, But I think

520
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:58.400
that makes people. Right when you
turn on ESPN, I feel like twenty

521
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:01.680
out of the twenty four hours of
the day, there's one of those round

522
00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:08.159
table shows, right, you've got
part of the interruption, you've got first

523
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:12.920
Take, you've got whatever show they
have on now in the mornings, and

524
00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:15.639
they're usually talking about the NFL and
the NBA, and with the NBA,

525
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:20.039
you know they have a relationship.
ESPN is in bed with the NBA.

526
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:23.280
They are partners, so they are
incentivized to continue to talk about the NBA

527
00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:28.239
and all. In my opinion,
what that does, David is it creates

528
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:34.679
a false sense of actual viewership because
you can keep like we consume content differently

529
00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:37.719
now than we did five, ten, twenty years ago. Right, you

530
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:42.280
can know everything you need to know
about the NBA numbers. You can actually

531
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.360
probably spit some facts to people that
make it look like you've got League pass

532
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:47.199
and you're watching all the games.
You can do that without watching a second

533
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:50.920
of it, like you just can. You can do it with highlights.

534
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:53.639
So viewership of a game when they
play eighty two of them, it's just

535
00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:59.679
not as important. Like I just
found this number here. ABC drew non

536
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:05.440
point point six two million viewers in
the Game four of the Finals. That's

537
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:10.880
the second lowest NBA Finals game on
record, behind only the Pandemic Playoffs.

538
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:15.320
Which really, that was just a
weird time in the world where despite not

539
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:19.360
having anything to do because we were
locked down, nobody watched sports at least

540
00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:22.239
not to the level that they well, they didn't watch at the level that

541
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:24.320
they used to watch it at prior
to the pandemic, and now, I

542
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:28.280
mean viewership is crazy for all these
other sports. So you know, I

543
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:30.719
think that's an absurd take by Chris
Brossard. But what it comes down to

544
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:37.719
is like, actually, to give
you some more absurdity to what he said,

545
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:40.159
in college basketball, you are the
man. Yeah, players are gonna

546
00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:44.039
make money. And there could be
the rare exception to where a college basketball

547
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.199
player might make more money than his
coach. That would be a very unusual

548
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:51.400
circumstance for that to happen. But
players come and go in the college game.

549
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:52.760
If you stick around and you build
a dynasty, which by the way,

550
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:57.400
Dan Hurley's already done, you're made
man. And some people don't care

551
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:00.360
about that, right, they don't
do it for themselves. But in the

552
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:02.559
NBA, how many good teams in
the NBA. You can be a casual

553
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:10.000
NBA fan or maybe like slightly above
a casual NBA fan, and there could

554
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:13.159
be a team that is, you
know, four or five seed in the

555
00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:15.800
East or West, and you not
know who their coaches. He could walk

556
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:17.719
into your home, you wouldn't know
who he is. Because it's not about

557
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:22.079
coaches in the NBA, they're expendable. It's quite clear, there's so much

558
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:24.679
more money invested in these superstar players
to where if there's a riff and things

559
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:28.079
aren't going well, what do you
think they're going to do? Trade their

560
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:30.480
franchise player they've invested a ton of
money in, or go find a new

561
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:35.000
coach. That's why, like I
think Dan Hurley, Look, I thought

562
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:36.840
he was going to go to the
Lakers, just because I'm thinking what else

563
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:38.199
can he what else does he want
to prove at the college game? And

564
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:40.840
he's always wanted to be in the
NBA, but maybe he wanted to be

565
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:44.280
in the NBA when the NBA was
different. Now, the NBA is hiring

566
00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:47.920
dudes who've never coached before, because
it's about managing egos, personality, and

567
00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:53.159
relatability. That's more than anything.
NBA players now seem to really gravitate towards

568
00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:57.599
dudes. They can relate to guys
who are who've been in their shoes as

569
00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:00.960
a player, maybe not even that
long ago. Like Mosula just won an

570
00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:07.239
NBA title. What's Joe Missoula's coaching
resume as far as accomplishments and you know,

571
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:10.480
experience, He was like a D
two assistant coach, got a chance

572
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:17.800
to join the the Celtic staff courtesy
of Brad Stevens as an assistant. Well,

573
00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:22.480
Emi Udoku, he got all horned
up, became a perv. Joe

574
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:25.000
Mossoula gets to sit in the first
chair and now he's an NBA champion.

575
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:29.400
He didn't grind his way up to
get to the top. And that's what

576
00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:31.639
the NBA's turned into. And I
don't think, you know, maybe it's

577
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:34.440
just my opinion. I don't think
it's good for the league. Like I

578
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.519
actually prefer when the league had coaches
that I feel like, Okay, I

579
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:40.320
know this guy, this coach is
going to play this style or whatever.

580
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:43.199
Like I just I don't know,
to me, that's you know, maybe

581
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:45.760
that's me just being a basketball purist, But no, I think the NBA,

582
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:49.519
I'm not gonna act like they're in
trouble because if you've seen the number

583
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:52.599
that's been put out there as far
as the new media rights deal that they're

584
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:54.000
about to sign with a couple of
different networks, like they're going to be

585
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:59.920
rolling in the dough. The NBA's
got plenty of money. But I think

586
00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:06.079
it's a very It's unique is a
league because you can be a super fan,

587
00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:08.519
you can be keeping up with everything
going on. You can continuously being

588
00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:15.000
you can continuously talk about whatever is
going on in the NBA on your podcast

589
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:19.159
or on social media or at the
water cooler at work. But you can

590
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:22.280
do all that without watching a single
second of the game. And I guess

591
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:25.760
you could do that this day and
age with technology and other leagues, but

592
00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:29.320
you don't see it as often.
You know why, because people want to

593
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:31.559
sit in front of their TV for
hours and watch football because football is king.

594
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:37.360
And with college basketball regular season viewership
is not strong. But the event

595
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:40.079
that is March Madness, the NCAA
Tournament, it's one of the best events

596
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:42.840
in sports. In fact, I
think it's the best. I'm a little

597
00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:45.920
biased on my end, but that's
why people that's why the viewership of that

598
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:50.039
is insane. Because people have their
brackets, you get a potential Cinderella story.

599
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:53.679
It's win or go home for everybody
that's there. So I'm always gonna

600
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:58.079
side with college basketball. But I
think if you're a coach and you really,

601
00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:00.800
you know, want to feel important, you want to feel like you've

602
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:05.840
got a real say so in the
trajectory of who you know, the program

603
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:08.840
you're coaching. I think college will
be a better route than the NBA,

604
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:15.119
because you know it can you for
didn't somebody got canned halfway into their first

605
00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:16.400
year in the NBA this year.
I think, wasn't that the guy who

606
00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:19.920
was coaching the Bucks or some Bucks
coach? Yeah? So all right,

607
00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:21.800
thank you for the call, David, appreciate it. Gave us a whole

608
00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:22.880
segment there. Good stuff. All
right, we'll keep it rolling along.

609
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:25.400
It's coffee and company. We are
feel about Thornton's right here on Sports Talk

610
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:30.880
seven ninety. I love this song. I feel like it's the first time

611
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:34.119
you played this. I think I've
played a couple times really for other people,

612
00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:37.119
though. Love it. When did
it come out? Does it show

613
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:38.360
you? I don't know if you
have the two thousand and seven. Yeah,

614
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:43.719
so I was as soon as soon
as this song started playing. As

615
00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:45.800
soon as you started playing the song, I thought to myself, man,

616
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:49.039
I haven't heard this in a while. And then I instantly went to you

617
00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:51.559
know what, it's probably really old. Like I'm thinking this song is like

618
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:53.880
five or six years old, and
then you know it's not. It's seventeen

619
00:39:53.960 --> 00:39:57.880
years old. And that's very sad
for me, but still good. It's

620
00:39:57.880 --> 00:40:00.119
timeless. Good stuff. I mean
this is you were young when this song

621
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:04.239
came out. Oh yeah, it
was seven ten years old. Good stuff,

622
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:07.519
all right. So, with very
little time left here in the three

623
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:10.559
o'clock hour, this is something that
I thought was interesting that I feel like

624
00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:15.639
a lot of people will have some
thoughts on and that is the worst behavior

625
00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:22.679
you can have as a patron a
customer at a restaurant. So there is

626
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:28.039
a new survey here where they asked
one thousand Americans about the restaurant customer service

627
00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:35.880
behaviors they find the most unacceptable.
So I think I think there's really two

628
00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:38.639
sides to get feedback on this.
One is the people who work in the

629
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:42.800
service industry and also just people who
are bothered, you know, because let's

630
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:47.480
be real, you could be at
dinner at any place and if there's a

631
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:51.800
table next to you that's like obnoxious
and you know, rude or whatever like

632
00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:53.800
it. Can you know, I'm
sure you've been to a restaurant where you

633
00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:59.159
were near someone that was kind of
impacting your experience at said restaurant. Hopefully

634
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:04.000
nothing crazy. But anyways, the
number, let's start with number ten and

635
00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:09.960
work our way up here. Fifty
seven percent mentioned flirting with the staff.

636
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:15.280
I don't see that very often.
Yeah, I haven't seen him much either,

637
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:17.800
And when I do, it's I
mean, I'm not going to mention

638
00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:22.280
any names of any establishments, but
like I actually find that to be uncomfortable

639
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:29.119
anyway. Like when I go to
a place with my dad for some beers

640
00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:32.599
and some wings, and this place
happens to be, you know, where

641
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:37.559
the waitresses. You know, there's
no there's no waiters, only waitresses,

642
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:42.199
and they their colors orange and they
all wear like a certain outfit. You

643
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:44.960
think everybody knows where I'm talking about. Like, I don't want you to

644
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:46.679
sit next to my dad and start
flirting with him, because it makes me

645
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:51.440
very uncomfortable because I can tell he's
uncomfortable, Like we're not there to get

646
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:53.280
dinner and you know, check out
hot babes. We're there to you know,

647
00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:57.239
have dinner, like father and son. It just it's very uncomfortable for

648
00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.800
me. So when I do see
guys flirting with waitresses, for the most

649
00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:05.280
part, what I've seen, it's
usually pretty you know, harmless, and

650
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:08.320
it's almost like a give and take
and you know they're working on a good

651
00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:13.440
tip. I would say this says
occupy a table for extended period of time

652
00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:15.480
during busy hours. I have no
problem with that. I mean, if

653
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:17.719
you're there and you want to stay
there and you're giving them business, I

654
00:42:17.719 --> 00:42:21.360
think you can stay there. I
mean as long as you want, as

655
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:22.519
long as they're open, right,
as long as you're as long as you're

656
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:28.360
still you know, partaking in.
Like I'm thinking, if you're there to

657
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:30.880
watch a game and you've already ordered
food, and you know you've had a

658
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:34.519
few beers, and like, if
you're there to wait it out and watch

659
00:42:34.519 --> 00:42:35.920
the rest of the game, you
don't want to get up and leave the

660
00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:38.920
table. I'd say that's pretty understandable. This one is leave a mess at

661
00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:42.760
the table. I mean that happens. I don't think that's a big deal.

662
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:47.039
This one says bring outside food or
drinks into a restaurant. All right,

663
00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:52.159
let me I need your thoughts on
this one, John, meaning you,

664
00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:55.559
I'll give you an example. You
go to eat someplace at a sit

665
00:42:55.639 --> 00:42:59.960
down restaurant and your kids are picky
eaters, so you bring their happy meal

666
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:01.920
with them. Yeah, I'd be
embarrassed to do that. I was embarrassed

667
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:05.079
as a kid with my parents would
be like, oh, just we'll get

668
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:07.679
you some Wendy's or something you can
bring it in. I never wanted to

669
00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:10.000
do that, thank you. I've
never seen it become an issue, but

670
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:13.920
I just have when I see other
people doing that, I'm like, man,

671
00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:16.039
I would like to me it just
it's rude, I feel like,

672
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:20.599
and it's just it's embarrassing. I
feel like as well, Yeah, so

673
00:43:21.079 --> 00:43:23.599
this says snap their fingers to get
the waiters attention. Yeah, don't do

674
00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:27.480
that. You know people still do
that. I feel like that's maybe from

675
00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:31.760
the nineties or something. I I
have a friend and she is not rude,

676
00:43:31.840 --> 00:43:37.960
but she just sometimes lacks self awareness
and she'll raise her hand at restaurants.

677
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:39.960
She's also a teacher, so I
guess that's just it's programmed in her.

678
00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:45.000
And I'm like, put your hand
down, you're embarrassing us. Stay

679
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:49.559
past the restaurant's closing time. Yeah
that's pretty rude, right, I mean,

680
00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:52.159
because they don't want to kick you
out, but they're also pissed that

681
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:55.039
you're still there. Of course.
Yeah, of course, debate menu prices

682
00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:59.800
with the staff, and that's an
old person thing it is. But also

683
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:05.039
what people rarely realize is that the
person taking your order, has no say

684
00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:08.039
so, no ability at all to
change the price or decide what a price

685
00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:13.480
is, you know, And even
if you're sending them to go talk to

686
00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:17.639
their manager, it's still like something
like you know it just the price is

687
00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:20.679
what it is at a place like
that, And if you got to if

688
00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:22.119
you got a hassle about I mean, look, sometimes if there's hidden fees

689
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:27.239
and whatnot, that's one thing.
But if the restaurant lists prices and you

690
00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:29.280
know what it is when you order
it, like, don't get it if

691
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:32.000
it's too expensive, you don't like
the price. This is one that my

692
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:37.239
wife and I have argued about,
not as much lately, but we used

693
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:42.159
to argue about it. Allowing your
children to roam freely. This is number

694
00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:45.719
two on the list, So we
don't. We don't let that happen.

695
00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:50.199
There is one restaurant we go to
that it were kind of regulars, and

696
00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:52.719
we don't let them roam. But
like they'll be you know, near,

697
00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:54.679
like they'll they'll stand up near the
table for a minute or something like that.

698
00:44:54.719 --> 00:45:00.639
But I've always had the fear that
people will see me, my kids

699
00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:02.000
in my family at a restaurant and
think like, wow, these kids are

700
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:07.440
poorly behaved. I mean it's not
as if they're throwing food at people,

701
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:09.320
but like if they're just roaming around
getting in people's way. You got people

702
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:13.440
carrying plates of food in some places
you go. You got people coming out

703
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:15.679
of the kitchen with six meals on
each arm. Right, So you don't

704
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:19.960
want your kids roaming around. And
I used to be really strict about that,

705
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:22.360
Not as much anymore because my kids
are getting getting a little bit older.

706
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:24.800
But you even if you have kids
who don't have kids, I'm sure

707
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:28.039
you've been to a place where that's
like, that's it's an issue, like

708
00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:31.079
people just letting their kids run around
and places chuck e cheese exactly. And

709
00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:35.760
the last one here say they won't
pay for a dish but they ate it.

710
00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:39.039
Like you can't do that, Like
that's that's stealing, right if you

711
00:45:39.239 --> 00:45:43.119
ate the entire meal and then you
claim you didn't like it after the fact,

712
00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:45.000
you still have to pay for it. Yeah, that's that's also an

713
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:49.960
old person. It's theft is the
right shouldn't have to pay for this?

714
00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:52.920
Yeah I didn't. I wasn't satisfied. Well, then you shouldn't have made

715
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:55.639
it clearly you were satisfied enough to
shove it down your throat. Give me

716
00:45:55.679 --> 00:46:00.079
your debit card bum all right,
we're against it. I'm sorry for going

717
00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:07.280
so long here, she said,
