00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:05.160
All right, welcome in broadcasting,
live on the road at the Fireplace in

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:08.720
Middletown. Come by and see us. Dave Jennings out here with me.

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:14.560
Uh, Dwight Witton is dealing with
family and issues. And uh he's lost

4
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:18.640
his uncle, which is basically his
the facto father, so we Uh Dwight

5
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.719
is dealing with that now. He's
uh twy, He's just a great human

6
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:28.559
being. He's been with his uncle
every day for weeks, going to spend

7
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:33.479
time with him, dealing with the
facility, dealing with the government and all

8
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.320
that, and and this just has
come to a head. Obviously he's passed

9
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:40.679
away. And uh and he is
is there with the family, So we

10
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.840
we send our prayers in love.
What we're dealing with is the smell of

11
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:48.679
smoked Ribbi burgers, the smell of
broughtwurst, the smell of hot dogs roasting

12
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:54.000
on an open fire. And are
a closed smoker. The hog Fathers are

13
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.359
here, yeah, and they're gonna
be here again tomorrow here at the Fireplace

14
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.119
in Middletown, the one year anniversary
tomorrow. Most things ten percent off,

15
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:06.079
half off Dano seasonings tomorrow to have
beef sliders, chicken wings, jalapeno,

16
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.799
cheddar, sausage, brisket and ribs, and they're brisket melt in your mouth

17
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.400
kind of stuff. Gus is producing
back at the studio. John, of

18
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:17.159
course, in the news room,
Good morning. I might try to get

19
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.560
you smoked Ribbi burgers today is what
we're having. Oh I would kiss you

20
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.159
if you did that. Oh well, ok, it's not on the menu.

21
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.760
I won't bring it. We made
that up, all right, uh

22
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:34.840
Mark Pope, Yes, Martin Pope. Oh man, I saw the smoke

23
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:40.519
rising out of Lexington right before the
hire. I will say this. There

24
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.040
was a couple of long faces in
the sales staff who are Big Blue Nation

25
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.319
this morning when they walked in.
Uh so, I don't know what the

26
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.640
problem is, to be honest,
Okay, listen, guys, they did

27
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.760
exactly. Mitch Barnhart did exactly what
he was supposed to do. You kick

28
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.640
the tires on Jay, right,
You happy in TV? Yeah, kick

29
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.959
the tires on Billy Donovan, You
happy in Chicago? You get on the

30
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.760
jet, you hit up Drew,
you hit up what's his face up at

31
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.680
Yukon? Yeah, and hardly do
that. And now what you're left with

32
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.919
after they say no it's unfortunate they
said no, But not surprising is you

33
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.240
have that next tier, the next
group of candidates, which include Iowa State's

34
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.800
coach, Arizona's coach. Now what's
the difference. So what do you do?

35
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:21.639
You go with the guy that's gonna
say yes. At that point,

36
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.039
you essentially have the same candidate.
You don't want the optics swinging for the

37
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.599
fences and missing, but then having
the mid tier guys turn you down.

38
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:31.360
So you go to Mark Pope.
He plays a good brand of offense.

39
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.639
They have a lot of assist,
shoot a lot of threes. It's a

40
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.840
fun style of basketball. I mean
it's he's coming out of the same crop

41
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.680
that Pat Kelsey came out of.
All these guys have similar experience, and

42
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:45.360
that's that's where we are in college
basketball. The number of sexy names you

43
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:46.759
could count on one hand, correct, and they did what they had to

44
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:51.599
do. They did this little piggy
and well, those are toes. No

45
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:53.759
one wants to date the Kardashian I
mean that was part of the issue.

46
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.039
I don't care how much it is. I don't want the drama every single

47
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.680
day. I'd rather stay where I
am, where I'm a hero. And

48
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.599
not take that. Remember Tubby is
the one that said it's the job you

49
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.039
don't want, but you can't turn
down. Well, apparently that has changed.

50
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.919
It's the job you don't want and
I can turn it down. So

51
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.599
that's where you are. Basketball is
taking a back seat because of the nil

52
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:23.360
and the unlimited time as you can
transfer rules right, So now it's made

53
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.919
coaching less fun and coaches are like, I'm gonna make a lot of money

54
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.280
anyway. I'm not going to Kentucky
where they're gonna grill me every single day.

55
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:37.240
Gus, you follow this pretty hard. And Mark Pope and now Kelsey

56
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.240
at U of L. I mean, we're used to Hall of Fame coaches

57
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:45.240
walking through the door. That's not
happening at either school, Gus, It's

58
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.759
not. And I was following along
because I'm having to keep track of all

59
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:53.159
the drama right now. And boy, Matt Jones had a Twitter space last

60
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.759
night which that first time I'd ever
done jumped into one. There were twenty

61
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:02.599
three thousand, twenty three thousand people
in this Twitter space as they were discussing

62
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.960
this, and this was ten something
though last night, and yeah, oh

63
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.599
they were big mad people, just
not happen. There's a hashtag trending this

64
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:15.800
morning that is fire Mitch on Twitter. They want Barnhardt's head for bringing in

65
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.839
Pope. But let me be the
optimist a minute. He's a former player,

66
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:23.800
he knows, he knows he won
under Patino as a national championship as

67
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:28.879
a player. He understands that,
he understands, he understands Big Blue,

68
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.959
he understands Big Blue Nation. He's
got a wide open offense. It sounds

69
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:38.680
like somebody being optimistic about the Wildcats. Guys, It's exactly what it sounds

70
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:46.000
like. There's two other things.
There's another thing that he brings that will

71
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.399
help out the players in that he's
a former NBA big man himself. At

72
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:54.439
seven to two, we've got what
Avishich is what seven two, seven to

73
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:59.079
four very raw talent. I think
Pope could help mold him into a dominating

74
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:00.920
center and get his foot work down, getting rebounding better, and get his

75
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.519
body positioned better. We already know
the kid can shoot. And plus with

76
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.920
that wide open offense, you've got
Reed Shepherd and you've got Perry coming back,

77
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:14.800
and they could break some scoring records. All right, who's the sexy

78
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.920
name that you didn't try to get
well, the Bruce Pearl and Rick Patino

79
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:25.480
are the two the big nation wanted
his seventies and yes it's it's a Louisville

80
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.199
fan can can tell you you can't
go back. We tried it with Bobby

81
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:31.680
Patrino when it was a complete disaster. Rick's getting Oh they'll be there for

82
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:36.759
fifteen seconds. Yes, I know, yeah, David, Okay. So

83
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:41.160
the best tweet us all last night
there was some of them were on fire.

84
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.879
Uh, but it's the tweet said
Cal clearly doesn't want to be in

85
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.000
Fayetteville and nobody wants the Kentucky job. What have we done? Like?

86
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.399
What what is going on? And
basically that is true. If you watch

87
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:58.040
any of the videos of Caliperry,
he just he he is not He doesn't

88
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.000
want to be in Faetteville. That
is the bottom line. His eyes say,

89
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.720
why am i? He and Mitch
didn't get along for quite some time.

90
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:08.279
There was a bit of a power
play. Yes, Cal wanted to

91
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.319
stay, Yes, get Mitch out. It worked out the opposite way,

92
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.319
and he's not happy about it.
He wasn't going to just retire, so

93
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.319
he took the best available gig,
and he doesn't look happy. Now,

94
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:26.600
this is where politics cross lines,
right Obviously, The story now is Kraft

95
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.399
Kelly Kraft wanted to use some of
the UK players as their advertising when she

96
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.680
was running, spending eleven million dollars
to come in third, and she wanted

97
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.319
to use the player and cal Perry
said, no, that's not happening.

98
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.759
So the Crafts pulled their money from
basketball and put it in football. So

99
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.000
and that's where they're going to keep
it for now. So I agree with

100
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.600
him on that. By the way, using players for policies, well,

101
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:53.240
how many times did a billionaire say
here, no, yeah, never ever

102
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.879
they never hear no. Oh,
what's cute about? The NII probably saw

103
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.399
this. The NCAA wants to try
to eliminate the multiple transfers by saying,

104
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.720
if you want to transfer a second
time, you have to meet certain academic

105
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:10.240
requirements. Kids aren't even going to
school if they are. Instead of that,

106
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:12.439
if they want to transfer a second
time, make them do what they

107
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.399
did when they transferred before the portal
sit out a year. It is gonna

108
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:21.680
be interesting to see. I don't
I'm trying to even if Louisville and Kentucky

109
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:25.360
had a year or two apart where
they got all new coaches, right,

110
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:30.040
and I don't think I mean Louisville
and Kentucky both have new coaches starting next

111
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.399
and there's four new coaches in the
state. Yeah, oh, four new

112
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:38.680
coaches Western, Louisville, Kentucky and
Morehead. Wow. Yeah, so it

113
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:42.759
is. It's gonna be fun to
watch this. Obviously, Mark Pope is

114
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.879
not the sexy pick, but that
who the pick is. They haven't announced

115
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.959
it officially yet, but they think
it's close to five point five million dollars

116
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.920
a year and a five year deal. Now he has a lot more head

117
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.240
coaching experience. Yeah. One Kenny
Payne yeah, correct, correct, Yeah,

118
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.439
we'll make that has a system.
Yes, he knows what he's doing,

119
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.079
right, Yeah, a sexy name, yeah, and in in the

120
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:09.000
in the interim here, uh steady, not that sexy. He did point

121
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:16.720
out it's kind of difficult to recruit
at b YU because you guess, Drake,

122
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:22.480
what is it? Uh, you
can't you can't have a by the

123
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:24.959
way everywhere. Yeah, and you
have to take a year where you do

124
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:30.279
a mission trip in Africa wherever,
and you have to have five girlfriends.

125
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:35.320
No, that's not true to manage
that, didn't they kick a guy off

126
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.759
their basketball team because he and his
girlfriend hooked up. I think that's actually

127
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:41.240
the case, right, you can't
have sex on campus. Yeah, and

128
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:46.000
they are like, he violated the
campus rules and where everybody's like, what's

129
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.840
that, We're like, oh,
we can't say it, but here's some

130
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:52.159
ideas. Yeah, I mean,
are you kidding me? Yes? And

131
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:58.320
now he's gonna go to Kentucky where
obviously limited resources and all that. It

132
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.480
was Brandon Brandon Davies was kicked off
the b YU basketball team for violating the

133
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.679
quote honor code for hooking up with
his girlfriend. Well he had the honor

134
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:11.120
code, but it was good on
her. Stop it but bump. All

135
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.879
right, So we are at the
fireplace at Middletown. Please come see us

136
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.240
again. Louisville and Kentucky now have
their coaches again. There hasn't been an

137
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:22.039
official note, but five point five
million dollars for five years sounds pretty reasonable

138
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.080
for Mark Pope to come to Kentucky. I think both schools made good calls.

139
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.440
Yes, I really do in cheap
calls, like not cheap, but

140
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.519
before Yeah, Louisville. Louisville did
well in this, and Kentucky went from

141
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.600
having to pay this guy thirty five
million dollars and go find a coach to

142
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.039
uh, hey, we don't have
to pay the thirty five million, and

143
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.879
then we just reduced our coach,
our coaching pay by half. What you

144
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.440
need is a competent to more competent
coach, but better yet, a roster

145
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:52.039
builder that can do it every single
year. And by the way, post

146
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.720
roommates. When he was at Cardinal
Cardinal Jams, Jeff Shepherd was Jeff.

147
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.799
Yeah, it was Jeff Shepherd almost
at Allen Shepherd, and I was like,

148
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:01.840
no, that's and part of this
too, could be to keep a

149
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:07.159
read around. Yeah, now that
that's what I'm saying is temporarily that's at

150
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.399
least a good sign that the roommates
are best friends and they can say,

151
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.919
hey, you know, hope your
son's days. Yeah, you know.

152
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.799
Uh so, all right, a
big blue nation will react all day all

153
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.559
day. Were they going to be
happy with anybody? Yes, but outside

154
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.159
of the first day. But the
ones that call, the ones that were

155
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.919
mocking Louisville Fan after Kelsey was hiring, go, now that we're looking for

156
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.559
us, you will We'll show you
why we're Kentucky and your Louisville. Well

157
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.679
guess what. Yep, that's that
attitude. I told you when Mike Norvel

158
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.960
was Alabama wanted him. Yeah.
Yeah. One of the tweets was,

159
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.519
so when we take your coach,
yeah, are you gonna be mad or

160
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.600
proud? Yeah? Yeah, that's
the fan base you're dealing with. Yes,

161
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.679
yes, all right, okay,
so let's move to the other top

162
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.679
story. Everyone our age uh knows. O. J. Simpson as is

163
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:05.000
the juice Paul culture wise, he
was the nineteen nineties before that, running

164
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.000
through in the eighties, running through
airports, hurtling chairs for her. Yes,

165
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.840
he was one of the first black
people that they would put in a

166
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:20.000
national TV commercial. He was the
crossover personality, a million dollar smile,

167
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.919
smart, good looking. Everyone loved
O. J. Simpsons. He was

168
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:31.440
Nordberg. He was Everyone loved him. And then obviously what happened in nineteen

169
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.039
ninety four which glued us to all
the television. Bob Costas was on NBC

170
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.960
This Morning, Yeah, talking about
that day when it went screen split screen.

171
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.279
You can blame that or credit that
for the twenty four hour news cycle

172
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.600
and all the talking heads on cable
TV, and then they interviewed, so

173
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.480
they showed a video of a couple
of the jurors later, right, and

174
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:56.639
the jurors said, did you all
quit just because you all hated lapd and

175
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:00.840
they and they're like ninety percent of
the jury. Yeah, revenge for the

176
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.559
Rodney Keane situation. Exactly right,
It's exactly right. It's exactly right.

177
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:09.519
So one hundred and fifty million people
watched the verdict and a handful of lawyers

178
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.440
that weren't very good lawyers got their
own TV shows. Yes, yes they

179
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.120
did. And the Kardashians came out
of that. And the whole glove a

180
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.720
quit thing. Yeah, you watch
him trying it on. First of all,

181
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:20.840
it was covered with blood, so
it's shrinking. Yeah, yeah,

182
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.919
And he's got another glove already on
his hand right there. It's kind of

183
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.360
obvious why it doesn't fit. And
that was just the last second thing when

184
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.879
he when he saw him, Johnny
Cochran saw him in like before anybody was

185
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:33.879
there, trying to get the glove
on. He was like, bingo,

186
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.480
that's what you're going to do and
told him to stro We made it about

187
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.679
race, and then of course all
of the characters, from the prosecutor to

188
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.639
the Marcia Clark Marcia Clark. Did
you know she She'll tell you. She

189
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.799
goes. I didn't think I was
going to get this O. J.

190
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.679
Simpson trial, She goes. I
went and got a perm for the first

191
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.919
time in my life, She goes
in. It was a huge mistake that

192
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:01.720
I got the perm and now one
hundred million people watching and making fun.

193
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.919
Okay, terrible was a boon for
Court TV. Oh my god, them

194
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.120
on the map. Okay, So
the board, let's go to j CPS

195
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.559
board. John, I heard you
in the top of the hour news.

196
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:20.279
Two of the six j CPS board
members are going to not run for re

197
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.960
election, and I think people are
gonna be unhappy because it's the one that

198
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:30.440
that's not not not the one that's
doing. District seven's Sarah McIntosh and District

199
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.759
four's Joe Marshall have said they will
not seek to retain their seats in the

200
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.720
upcoming election in November. What is
the process? That's it just an open

201
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:43.639
seat, open election appointed? How
does that work? No, that that

202
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.159
they're if I understand what I when
I was reading correctly to do the story.

203
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.840
Their term is up. So they're
not going to just run again in

204
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:56.960
November to seek the seat UH.
Anybody they're they're considered open school board seats

205
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.639
UH for the upcoming election, and
anybody that wants to run to fill those

206
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.559
seats has until June fourth defile as
a candidate. Parents that don't like the

207
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:11.039
way things are going, somebody strap
them on and let's flip this board.

208
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:16.879
There has been a narrative that said, if you really want to change the

209
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.279
board, you're never going to do
it through voting because people don't pay attention

210
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.759
and they don't care. It's the
same reason with the judges. You don't

211
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.559
flip judges because no one knows who
they help outside of the president sator.

212
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.879
They don't know. You don't pay
attention to anything. So here's an alternative

213
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.320
of thought pattern that maybe Frankfort would
go with, is instead of doing a

214
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.960
million a couple of million dollar study
on what you know, if they got

215
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:46.039
h for JCPS, was splitting up
the district, just switch the law.

216
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.600
Because the governor picks the board at
U of L and picks the board at

217
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:56.600
UK. You're telling me that the
governor shouldn't pick that for JCPS also,

218
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:00.039
So flip it to that and maybe
you get the board you want. You

219
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.399
probably get five liberals. Again,
well no, well looks but year's in

220
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.360
the second term. That's it.
So I remember this. Are they going

221
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.879
to get a conservative governor in the
next term? Probably? Probably, But

222
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.879
Matt Bevan had a guy in place
that was looking for accountability in the school

223
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.639
systems and the firsd you know,
the guy would think he's wearing his dad's

224
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.320
suit. He had to pick suit
on. But the very first thing that

225
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.639
Governor Bashier did at the behest of
the board in the school districts was fire

226
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.120
him. Yeah. Yeah, so
Andy put a competent board together. I

227
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.200
doubt it. Yeah, no,
not anytime soon. But that's a call

228
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.440
on that, all right. So
and again, yes, they got rid

229
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.480
of bussing for about fifteen to sixteen
thousand students. They had no choice,

230
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.559
there are no bus drivers. But
do you know, you say, though

231
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.679
the folks around here don't pay attention
to the elections for school board, do

232
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.440
you think after what's happened this year
and everything has come to light, they're

233
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:52.200
paying more attention. It might be
more interested in who they're voting for.

234
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.080
No, because the last term,
when all of it was going into the

235
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.759
toilet, they had four count them, four more conservative board members running for

236
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:04.480
seats that running for seats, they
flipped exactly zero of them. So no,

237
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.200
I don't agree with that. I
think I think people don't know or

238
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.960
don't pay attention. It's just what
day after day we gave the names.

239
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.679
Yeah, alf the time, these
people get elected because of name recognition.

240
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:21.039
That's all it is. I think
I remember remember the jab like five years

241
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.919
ago, all the jingles. Everyone
had, the jingle, Oh I know

242
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.919
that name, that's my favorite jingle. All right, uh, Gust,

243
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:33.960
do you have the joke of the
day? No, all right, let's

00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.480
to Denise Pellgreeney in a second.
But first Unlimited Landscape just down the road.

272
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:40.880
That's where they're based for the last
thirty years. Unlimited Landscapes does,

273
00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:45.079
of course landscaping, but pool installation
is what they really pride themselves at,

274
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.359
designing and putting resorts in people's houses. That's what they do now. They've

275
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.640
been doing pool installation for twenty five
years. You could trust them top to

276
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.440
bottom with a pool installation. I
have no idea why that business is so

277
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.119
weird, but they can do it
all. The pool house is the waterfalls,

278
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.839
the all of the bushes and trees
and all that they can put it

279
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.240
in there. You can build a
resort in your backyard with Unlimited Landscapes dot

280
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.839
Com. All right, Denise,
how are you? I'm great? How

281
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:15.480
are you doing happy? It is
Friday, We're at a barbecue. We're

282
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.680
at a you know, we're getting
barbecue today, so I'm feeling pretty good.

283
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.720
I know how do you guys get
that deal we've been trying. They

284
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.839
won't. They're not giving it to
us. No, no, no,

285
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:29.799
I will, I will, I
will send it to you. And you

286
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:32.799
guys get like cracked crab and stuff
like oh yeah, New York. No,

287
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.319
seriously, no, we get like
bottled water. There's a bottle of

288
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.640
water for your next break. Thank
you. All right, you're gonna need

289
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:45.359
more than bubbled water to get through
the day today. Oh, we got

290
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:51.480
stuck futures lower yeah, dows down
on the many futures as we like to

291
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.119
call them, going into the open, down two hundred and forty point and

292
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:56.920
P five hundred, down forty nasdak
down one hundred and ninety one. Now

293
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.240
bank earnings they kind of suckle little
bit. That's part of the problem.

294
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:04.079
Also, we've got a report just
out showing stronger than expected import prices,

295
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:08.240
so we've got inflation worries. Midi's
tension, as you've been talking about,

296
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:14.160
sources a Israel bracing for a possible
attack from Iran. Drones and missiles could

297
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:17.200
be used. This does have the
potential to trigger an all out regional war.

298
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:21.799
That's what's got investors really. World
gold futures right now, they're sitting

299
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:25.400
at an all time high, and
we've got crude oil higher as well.

300
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.279
Ford Bronco story for you, and
it's not one related to OJ. The

301
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:34.200
government's Auto Safety Agency looking into a
Ford Bronco recall. This is for gasoline

302
00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:38.359
leaks, guys, from cracked fuel
injectors that can cause engine fire. Sounds

303
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:42.119
bad, right, but the problem
is actually US officials say in documents that

304
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:47.680
the remedy doesn't actually fix the leak, so presumably that's what they're looking at.

305
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:49.680
It's not clear if that's actually true. And when was the last time

306
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:56.039
you were in an auto race?
Been a while? Formula One speeding ahead

307
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.400
with efforts to make the Grand Prix
more of an everyman kind of thing.

308
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.960
Now Liberty media trying to make the
auto race, with the reputation of being

309
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.200
for the elite, you know,
Kings and Queen's, more accessible for fans

310
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.880
in the US, especially families who
want to experience it more I guess like

311
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:14.319
a football game. And as I
mentioned, we are looking at a lower

312
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:18.359
open right now for stocks today this
Friday session, with a lot of concerns

313
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.680
about inflation, and we do indeed
have that lower open with the news Radio

314
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:30.240
eight forty WHS Bloomberg Money Report.
I'm Denise Pellgreney By. I wonder who

315
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.240
Morgan Wallan's favorite basketball coach of all
time was? Mark Pope. No,

316
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:40.079
probably Bobby Knight. Oh yeah,
throwing a chair out a window. He

317
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:41.920
won't do a second a jail in
the middle of the day. In the

318
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:47.640
middle you mean he got dark in
the middle of the day. It was

319
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:49.240
spectacular, by the way, and
by the way, again, we made

320
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.880
fun of it, and it seems
stupid, but I enjoyed ninety eight percent

321
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:59.240
totality. Extra weird, weird,
all right. Grill Masters are here today,

322
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.319
the hog father So we have a
huge event here at the fireplace tomorrow

323
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:08.039
for their one year birthday. That's
right, So they've been around for one

324
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:12.000
year. So Dwight would say,
so when when you have melts in your

325
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:15.240
mouth brisket? Yeah, you wonder, how do I get it there?

326
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:18.599
How can I do that? I
don't know where to start. You start

327
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:21.160
at the fireplace. They have the
knowledge, they have to get it,

328
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.880
the equipment. Yeah, for all
skill levels. Yes, they'll learn you.

329
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:27.039
We're gonna talk to Molten right now
with the hog Fathers, but we're

330
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:32.240
first going to get our engineered hook
up a third headset as we're sitting here

331
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.480
to talk. Don't worry again.
I told you for about three hours this

332
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:37.960
afternoon. The Second Street bridge,
or when I get yilled at by old

333
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.440
folks in Saint Matthews, it'd say
it's the Clark Memorial brands. Stop.

334
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.839
Yes, the Second Street brand.
Well you cross it. Then Tomorrow,

335
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.599
by the way, is the one
year anniversary. So it'll be their second

336
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:53.000
yes, their first birthday as they're
one, and then they'll go into their

337
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:59.119
second seat there too, and they'll
have chopped beef sliders, chicken wings,

338
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.319
smoked wings. It's jalapeno cheddar,
Sasha's brisket and ribs. Ten percent off

339
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:10.400
almost everything here and half off the
delicious Danos seasoning Moulton. How are you?

340
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:12.440
Oh? Hang on? We is
he turned up? I don't think

341
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:15.920
you gotta make sure everybody is there. You go do it again? Do

342
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.279
it again? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hot fathers.

343
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.240
Everybody here ready to rock down to
describe what we have on the plate today

344
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:30.000
for free lunch. Well, today
we have some uh Rabbi burgers, ground

345
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:37.359
Rabbi burgers, oh, nice,
fresh brats, yes, and some hot

346
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:41.400
dogs. Oh, I'm in Yeah, I'm feeling it. I'm feeling it.

347
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:44.200
And then of course tomorrow one year. You believe we've been doing remotes

348
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:47.039
out of here for about a year
and you kind of jumped on board in

349
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:48.799
the middle of the way, and
it's been a great run with the with

350
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:53.759
the Hogfathers. Do you start cooking
for tomorrow today? I've got a brisket

351
00:23:53.799 --> 00:24:02.359
on right now, and I've got
two giant uh chuck roast, yeah,

352
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.759
pounds apiece? Yeah. Man,
smoker now yeah. Uh. They sell

353
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.839
the smokers here and you can start
with the least expensive and move on up

354
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.880
to the big daddy Lincoln and Cadillac
of these bad boys. And you don't

355
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.640
have to pull it behind your car. I mean you can do that if

356
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.000
you want. They have patio sized
ones, larger ones, whatever you need,

357
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:25.799
it's here. But they're idiot right
Oh most definitely, yeah, yeah,

358
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:30.079
I mean if I can do it
right, you know, Dwight and

359
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.680
holding all them, they're not offended
by that. Oh, most definitely.

360
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.359
Why I'd screw this up. Yeah, they have the idioprit but it really

361
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.880
has changed the game. And I
knew that because of Dwight, Because Dwight

362
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:44.160
bought one. Uh, and I
think it was reluctant to do it,

363
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:45.279
even like he was like, oh
okay, I'll buy. It's kind of

364
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:51.680
cathartic for him to have a process, to have time consuming task. Yeah,

365
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:53.759
it helps him. It helps it
absolutely. And he's become this chef.

366
00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:56.839
He brings in food all the time. The station. You're just like,

367
00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:59.480
oh my god, risk it.
He's gotten really all that gosh.

368
00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:03.599
You you're asking about the brisket.
Yes, so here's the secret. You

369
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:08.799
put it on one of these pellet
grills at one hundred and ninety degrees at

370
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:18.039
about seven o'clock in the evening.
You shut it, You do your rest

371
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.160
of your evening, You go to
bed. You get up the next morning.

372
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.039
You check the temperature of the brisket. It's got probably about one seventy

373
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:33.200
You wrap it, turn the temp
up another couple of hours. You've got

374
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:37.519
mouth water and grazel. What is
your rub of choice? I like just

375
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:45.920
a very basic two parts coarse ground
pepper sixteen mesh black pepper to one part

376
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:52.599
salt, kosher salt. I use
diamond crystal because it's flaky, and then

377
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.279
a half a part of granulated garlic, and you mix all of that up,

378
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:03.880
and just so amazing how often the
best recipes are very simple. Yeah,

379
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:07.000
what's the resting? What is that? Why do we rest the meat?

380
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.119
Okay? So resting brisket face,
that's the other part. So once

381
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:15.200
you wrap it and you take it
off, you want to let it rest.

382
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.839
Okay. So this brisket that I've
got on right now will probably go

383
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:26.240
about twelve to fourteen hours. I'm
going to wrap it in a foil and

384
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.880
I use a special well, I
use aluminum foil, but I call it

385
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:37.200
the foil boat method. So I'll
leave the top exposed so that it builds

386
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:42.079
a nice crust, but all the
juices congregate in the bottom. And then

387
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:47.200
when I take that off, I'm
going to rest it down to about a

388
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.359
hunt at about one hundred and fifty
degrees, and I'm going to rest it

389
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:53.279
overnight. Now is the pal wa
wait wait wait wait? Why are we

390
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:57.720
resting it overnight? Okay? So
the reason that you rest the meat is

391
00:26:57.759 --> 00:27:03.880
to let it relax, let it
reabsorb the juices. That's what's gonna give

392
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:08.559
you your your juiciness. Now the
pellet grill, because I have an offset

393
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:11.920
would one and that takes some maintenance
and refueling, and it's kind of a

394
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:18.920
paint. On one side there's charcoal
and on the other side you're doing you're

395
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.640
smoking, and you're controlling the temperature
with the damper and gotta keep re upping

396
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:29.359
with the pellets. Is that electric
then, well, it's electric. It's

397
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:33.000
a it's a there's an augur that
just pushes the pellets in and just creates

398
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.640
the smoke the heat. Yeah,
do you have to refuel during this time?

399
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.759
No? I mean most of these
will hold about twenty pounds of pellets.

400
00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:45.880
So depending on your temperature, the
higher the temperature, the faster the

401
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.920
pellets are gonna burn. You're pretty
good at just the weber, buddy,

402
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:52.720
Yeah, I am pretty good,
all right. Okay, if you get

403
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:55.720
into this thing, man, you're
gonna get fat. Yeah. Well,

404
00:27:55.720 --> 00:28:00.799
Becky's a vegetarian, so oh yeah, spending on meat for me, it

405
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:07.480
just doesn't it doesn't happen to still
roller eyes going so fish. So,

406
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.119
Dave, you have an offset smoker? Uh huh. So the big roasts

407
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:15.640
that are on the smoker right now
are on a big off set. Oh

408
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.279
okay, yeah, so every forty
five minutes, I got a head head

409
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.200
back over there and make sure that
my temp is right. Yep, yep,

410
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:25.359
add some fuel yep, all right. Molton is his name. He's

411
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:26.839
with the Hogfathers. We're gonna have
lunch here. What do you think about

412
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:32.119
eleven thirty ish forty five ish or
something like that. Okay, elevenish,

413
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:36.799
all right, eleven o'clock free lunch
here at the UH at the Fireplace in

414
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:38.240
Middletown. Molten, It's always good
to talk to you, bro, Thank

415
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.920
you very much, Gosha Man.
All right again, a huge event tomorrow

416
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.640
from eleven am to four pm.
It's the one year birthday of the Fireplace

417
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:49.200
in Middletown. All right, so
uh the big news today. O.

418
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:53.200
J. Simpson passed away yesterday.
The last time I saw him, he

419
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:57.799
looked healthy and was putting videos out
last football season, doing point spreads here's

420
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:00.880
why I like so and so to
win and the odada, and he looked

421
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:03.319
fine. You he was always in
a golf cart somewhere. Did he have

422
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:07.400
a podcast? I'm sure I think
he did. He probably who doesn't The

423
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.480
list of people that don't have a
podcast, And what is a podcast?

424
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:15.720
It's a radio show with less revenue. It's very cutting Edge his podcast,

425
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:19.480
Very Cutting Edge, all right,
so so OJ Simpson. And of course

426
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:26.559
the school board cutting busting. That
is a huge story because it affects fifteen

427
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:30.880
thousand families or students at least,
and I don't know how many families because

428
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.240
they have multiple kids. And you
were talking about you know, we're talking

429
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:36.480
about safety and all of that,
but how parents and kids have changed at

430
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:40.759
some points that I've got a story
time to retire horror stories from teachers.

431
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:45.000
Oh, trying to deal with today's
kids. Oh dude, they have no

432
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.599
and they will tell you at the
highest levels of JCPS the kids have changed.

433
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:52.400
So all of us sitting here wondering
what's going on. What's going on

434
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:57.480
is parents are a no show and
kids suck and there's no accountability. There's

435
00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:03.160
no accountability. Little jerk faces.
And I'm not talking about all of them,

436
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:06.960
but they're all you need is one
or two and then the whole classrooms

437
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:10.640
disrupted. In the class is awful. To a couple of dozen gang bangers

438
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:12.240
can ruin a city if you'll if
you don't get them off the streets.

439
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:15.640
A couple of dozen problem kids,
yes, can ruin a lot of classroom

440
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:18.119
experiences for a lot of people,
well, how many times did you go

441
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.079
to uh you know, you knew
you really like school, but fourth period

442
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:27.640
there's this girl that's insane and she's
always disrupting the class and your stomach starts

443
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:32.519
to hurt because she's loud and you're
just but she probably has some awesome eventually

444
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:36.240
later in life. Because you know
you said the best stop is attached to

445
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:41.640
the stop it crazos uh so of
your saying you want to avoid going to

446
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.880
that class, and it makes school
miserable. So then what happens Then the

447
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:49.400
numbers start to go down on I
mean, the truancy goes up because I'm

448
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:52.480
not going to school today, and
the teachers have to spend their time disciplining

449
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.559
or trying to at the expense of
other kids learning it. Don't blow it.

450
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:00.519
You has blown things that are fortiate. No, I have many school

451
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:04.039
teachers that are friends that are like
in some of the schools they teach it

452
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:07.240
and they're like, it does It's
not a day goes by that I don't

453
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:10.759
put somebody's not putting their hand on
me, right and I'm sorry. Back

454
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:14.720
in the day, you're expelled you
touch a teacher who wants that job,

455
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:18.480
you're expelled. Who wants that job? So you can't touch a referee,

456
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:19.799
but you can touch a teacher.
And Mark Pope, of course, hired

457
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:25.039
at UK for the head basketball coach. I think that is to the dismay

458
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:29.119
and disappointment of some of the UK
fans that were like, oh, Louisville

459
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:33.839
got Kelsey, wats what our power
does? Haha? You tried, you

460
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.400
tried the biggest names. They all
said no, yes, do in some

461
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.079
part because of you, the fans
and the expectations of the job. So

462
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:44.960
all the names that were left weren't
that sexy. No. Now, I

463
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.279
will say this though, but eventually, you know, CALIFERI had to start

464
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:51.799
somewhere. Rick started somewhere, Mark
Pope's. But here's the thing. Starting

465
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:53.599
somewhere you do. You should have
to be able to check every box.

466
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.160
Gus, you probably have an opinion
on this because you've been doing that.

467
00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:00.759
You're close to all the athletic departments
and all that. Uh. You used

468
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:04.759
to have to be the killer recruiter. Oh, who's he ever a recruited?

469
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:07.880
Oh he's a killer recruiter. Does
that even come into play anymore?

470
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:10.880
I mean I don't think it well. I don't think that the NBA was

471
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:14.720
mentioned earlier. It's can you get
them the NBA. I don't think that

472
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:16.880
matters, because now you can come
to stay in school for what seems like

473
00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:21.680
there was a guy got nine a
ninth year. Nine years in college.

474
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:27.000
You can make a million dollars sticking
around in college. There's no guarantee you're

475
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.000
gonna go to the NBA. Why
wouldn't I just stick around as far as

476
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:31.960
I could in college? You know? So it's kind of changed in that

477
00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:35.279
that's what she boy did. He
said, Okay, one more year.

478
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:37.720
Huntley Hatfield, the guy that started
last year at the five, he's asking

479
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:42.400
for a million dollars? Are you
crazy? I saw a million and a

480
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.119
half. A coach got a call
from a they didn't say who it was,

481
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:47.839
and they're currently on team. They
wanted a million and a half to

482
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:52.640
come to the team. Recruits are
asking for five thousand dollars just to come

483
00:32:52.680 --> 00:33:00.799
to campus. Now, Oh boy, I not take a lot of visits.

484
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:06.480
A lot of colleges were paying me
five grand not to come to campus.

485
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:08.400

weekend here. That's all right,
