WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.960 --> 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 --> 00:00:26.000 day. Now, here's Nick Coffee. All right, let's get it started, 3 00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.039 Ladies and gentlemen, hour number three, the five o'clock hour. Here 4 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.840 on a Wednesday afternoon Coffee and company. That's us. My name's Nick Coffee. 5 00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:37.560 The company man John Alden alongside. As you could expect a lot of 6 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.039 reaction today to the big news that isn't just big news around here, but 7 00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:47.520 it is national news. LPD has not ILYMPD, but the prosecutors have decided 8 00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:54.399 to dismiss all charges that were filed against Scotti Scheffler twelve days ago when he 9 00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:59.600 was on his way to the PGA Championship right after a fatal accident took place 10 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:06.519 and was told by one law enforcement officer that he was good to go around 11 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.840 and then stopped by another, and then it, you know, all hell 12 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.239 broke loose, really just with one guy. I mean, it sounds as 13 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:19.519 if the entire situation, you know, the one person that was like hot 14 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.359 about it was that guy, the guy who you know, hopefully he pulls 15 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.319 through, I'm not sure he's gonna make it. He had a booboo on 16 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.840 his knee, and he got his pants ruined. I think what happened. 17 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.719 He might have pooped his pants, that's how they got ruined. He was 18 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.760 so frightened that Scotty Scheffler was going to run him over. And yes I'm 19 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.519 exaggerating because that didn't come close to happening. That's probably what it was. 20 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.040 Look, I've never done that, but I bet if I got scared enough, 21 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.000 I could see that happening to me. I mean, you never know 22 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:53.000 what your body's gonna do when you get that scared. And clearly someone driving 23 00:01:53.079 --> 00:02:01.439 in a PGA Championship vehicle going slow kind of trying to skirt around you guys 24 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:06.079 to get to his tea time, that'll put some fear into you that you've 25 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.439 probably never experienced. And that's probably why he pooped his pants and they were 26 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.280 ruined eighty dollars pants for that matter, and you know he had a booboo. 27 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:20.000 So this is good news that they've dropped charges, but I mean, 28 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.080 it still sucks that it happened. And each day that there has been new 29 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:30.759 information provided, and really each day that like anybody talked about it from the 30 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.000 Louisville side, meaning when Mayor Greenberg talked about it. LL and PD talked 31 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.719 about it, did their presser, but it really wasn't a presser because it's 32 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.919 not a press conference if you don't take questions, is it it's just a 33 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.560 statement that you're like you're releasing. I mean, I think you could have 34 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:47.560 just put it in a statement if you're not going to take questions. So, 35 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:54.039 you know, it sucks all the way around. And I don't know 36 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:59.439 if it's going to be something that people years from now think of when they 37 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:05.960 think of Low I would imagine not. But sometimes crappy things happen, and 38 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:12.560 you know there's really nobody to blame. Sometimes bad things happen, and you 39 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:16.919 know it's it's clearly just one person that decided to do something crazy that was 40 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:20.439 a bad, you know, terrible crime or whatever it may be, and 41 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.240 it brought it brought attention here. But like, and I don't give any 42 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:29.240 examples, but what makes this just such a frustrating thing is that it was 43 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:34.439 so easily avoidable. It didn't need to happen. And for those of you 44 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.319 that haven't heard this yet, this was released earlier this morning. This is 45 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:44.639 the audio as Scotty Scheffler was talking to an officer after he was arrested. 46 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.960 So this is the aftermath, and this is Scheffler talking to a different cop 47 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.400 who we'll let you hear for yourself. You can come to your own conclusion. 48 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:58.599 But this confirms I believe what everybody has said about Scheffler as being a 49 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.479 very very nice, upstanding man with high character. And I don't think you 50 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:08.599 could have been more kind to this police officer at that time. And these 51 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.240 guys got their feelings hurt, especially the guy who who might have pooped his 52 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.120 pants, and you know, Nope, you can't talk to him. You're 53 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:21.920 going to jail because I said so. So here here's this clip. It's 54 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:27.160 about three minutes, so a little longer than what we would typically give you. 55 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:30.680 That's what she said. No, that's will nevermind it'd be wouldn't that 56 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.959 be what he said? Not? She said? Anyways, here you go 57 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:39.000 my tea time. Yeah. I had to loop all the way around that 58 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.560 way. Took me about probably a half hour. Because I pulling in here, 59 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:44.920 the police officer up there told me to come the opposite way with the 60 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:46.920 traffic and then come in. And as I was pulling in, my window 61 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.759 is down an officer told me to stop, and as I was First of 62 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.519 all, I did not know that he was a police officer. I thought 63 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.720 he was one of the security guards that was mistaken. And as I was 64 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.439 pulling by me, he grow stop stop right there was or if he's a 65 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.160 security guard or a police officer, because if somebody's telling you to stop, 66 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.560 yes, you're right, I should have stopped. I did get a little 67 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:10.959 bit impatient because I'm I'm quite late for my tea time, and as he 68 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.879 was reaching in the car, he grabbed my shoulder and hit me like I'm 69 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.240 trying to get you to stop right, yes, okay. It seemed to 70 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:23.319 be a little bit over aggressive because the entrance was open, okay, and 71 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.480 I pulled a little bit because I was afraid. I thought he was gonna 72 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.279 start hitting me, and I didn't know who he was. He didn't tell 73 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:30.759 me he was a police officer. I didn't always always a yellow jacket. 74 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.040 I know what he was doing. I was listened well, a police officer. 75 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:38.079 So the thing is he's wearing a uniform, okay, he also is 76 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:43.040 wearing the same jacket that I have on the says police also on that if 77 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.839 someone's telling you to stop. No matter who it is, you don't keep 78 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.600 going. So what happened is you kept going and you took him with you 79 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:55.160 while he's a pedestrian. Okay, So you took him with your car and 80 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.680 drug him, okay, which is not a good thing right everywhere that was 81 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:00.120 that was to make it so to listen to me, so make it even 82 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.279 worse. When he asked you to get out of the car, he refused 83 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.319 to get out of the car. I still did not was not wear he 84 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.839 was a police officer. I was actually looking out the window of the car 85 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:11.319 to try to find a police officer. I asked, we're all right here, 86 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.240 and he was there, believe me. Sure, we're all wearing yellow 87 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:16.360 vests. So you can see this. If you knew he was a police 88 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.959 officer, I would have been much more less afraid. But panic kind of 89 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:24.040 set in. As you can see, I'm still shaking because I was afraid. 90 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:27.399 I didn't know who he was. He didn't say police, get out 91 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.120 of the car. He just hit me with this flashlight and yelled get the 92 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.639 car. So we're wearing a lot of police gears. That's surely signifies that 93 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.560 we're leaving me. If I knew he was a police officer, I would 94 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:40.160 have gotten out of the car. I don't know what to tell you other 95 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.720 than well, it's a little bit panic trying to get into the golf course. 96 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.480 And I now I don't know what to do. But let's go back 97 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.680 to the first point. Okay, No matter if you thought he was a 98 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.560 police officer or not, somebody have stuff. Why we're wearing yellow best? 99 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.800 Why do you think we're wearing yellow vest? So you can see us right, 100 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:54.639 so you can see this. And if somebody tells you to stop, 101 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.160 if it's a traffic guard, security guard, anybody, that means you stop 102 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.120 at that time and you don't keep going. Okay, so stuff like this 103 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.160 doesn't happen, Yes, because you actually actually hurt him and he's a police 104 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:10.279 officer. Yes, he's got a huge scrape on his knee. He's getting 105 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.639 checked by ems, big Bruce. So I don't I don't know. But 106 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.879 for you right now, you're the main question is if you're going to jail, 107 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:23.000 and it's up to him. I don't know. Am I able to 108 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:28.639 speak with him? No? Not at this time. He's no. So 109 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:33.480 what I'm gonna do? Yeah? So that was it. And when you 110 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.040 play a clip that long. I try, you know, make some notes 111 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.319 here as far as things to hit on from that, and I guess I'll 112 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.040 work my way with the most recent one and go back. Who knew you 113 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:46.720 could bruise that quickly? Right? He's Bruce got a bruise. It sounds 114 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.600 like he is it a broken bone? Is it possible to bruise? Like 115 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.040 when I think of a bruise, I think, you know, purple dark 116 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.639 bruise like brucees take a while, don't they at least to be visible. 117 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.399 Well, it's just another one of those things where it's just like really trying 118 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:03.160 to overdo it when it comes to like the injury that was caused. But 119 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:11.519 also to hear the doesn't matter if he's law enforcement or if he's traffic or 120 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.199 security guard. If they tell you to stop, you stop, not necessarily. 121 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.040 I mean, I mean, I get that that really all depends on 122 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:26.000 the context of the situation. But that's not just like a known thing if 123 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:31.600 I mean, and the one thing everybody asked, whatever they you know, 124 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.679 there was live cameras from the television stations in the aftermath. Is all the 125 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.639 policemen out there wearing those yellow jackets. I'm sure something on those said police, 126 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.039 but it wasn't on the back. It didn't seem as if it was 127 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.879 like some big thing that everybody would notice. And if he was told by 128 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:54.840 another law enforcement officer that he could that he could go, why didn't that 129 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.639 guy intervene and say, yes, I told him were good, Like, 130 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.480 I don't think it every They never would have the conversation to let that be 131 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.399 discussed because they were so hot about it and wanted to, you know, 132 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:15.720 just in my opinion, abuse their authority. I mean, he couldn't have 133 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:20.279 been more nice to the to the law enforcement officer that he talked to there, 134 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.039 and he wanted to, I guess, explain himself, you know he 135 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:28.240 was. I mean I actually think he probably I don't know him at all, 136 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:33.200 but it wouldn't shock me if he wanted in real time to in fact, 137 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.960 maybe counter some of the things that was said, not to say like 138 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.600 hey, no you're lying, but maybe kind of to explain himself a little 139 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.639 bit more. But instead he just he just chose to be kind and apologetic 140 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.919 for the situation happening all the way around, whereas they took no accountability for 141 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.759 how there could have been a you know, not only could have there been 142 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.840 a miscommunication and you know, use your brain and realize that, like it's 143 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.200 dark outside, it's pouring down rain, it's not actually you know clear to 144 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.600 know what's going on. It's a hectic situation, and you know they don't 145 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.120 think about that. I mean, in that situation, they didn't. So 146 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.799 whenever he did say yes, I'm sorry, I realized, you know, 147 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.840 that led to somebody asking Steve Romans, Scheffler's attorney, today about why did 148 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.200 he, you know, kind of admit to that he did, in fact, 149 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.440 you know, drag the officer, And that led to a fiery response 150 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.360 from Steve Romans that of all the things that Romans said today, I mean, 151 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:31.240 he delivers with about every second of time he gets to speak publicly in 152 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.120 front of a camera and a microphone, and certainly to a judge and a 153 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.960 jury, he's very good at doing exactly that. But this woman asked, 154 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.759 you know, why, why did you know? Why did he basically tried 155 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.120 to say Scheffler lied after saying it was a misunderstanding because this audio proved that 156 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.679 he admitted that, like which it didn't. I mean, she she's exaggerating 157 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.799 that, but I thought this this response was was was something worth hearing. 158 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.279 And clearly I'd say that is what a lot of folks believe because I think 159 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:03.759 the Way three reporter who had this video out there on Twitter, it's got 160 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.120 like over a million views. And again that's that's because this is a national 161 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.000 story. Steve. I have to ask you, though, the Standard said 162 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.519 Scott, he need after the vest, don't need to prove the line with 163 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.080 the point they're seeing right now, he admits that he got in piche and 164 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:22.120 brent to far. No, here's what happens is he is being interrogated after 165 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:28.279 the most stressful situation of his life, right, and the officer is actually 166 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:33.039 asking him leading questions and trying to get him to agree with them. Okay, 167 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.840 and that's why you don't talk to the police, because they are going 168 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.519 to try to put words in your mouth. And that's exactly what they did. 169 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.039 No, of course he didn't have to speak, but again, he 170 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:52.120 asked to talk to the officer. He wanted to explain to him what happened. 171 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:58.799 However, they are trying to get him to confess to something that he 172 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:03.720 didn't do, and the video evidence shows he didn't do it. That's why 173 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.320 you don't talk to the police. They are not trying to get to what 174 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.679 happened. They are trying to get you to incriminate yourself. And that's what 175 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.320 they were trying to do to him, and he didn't incriminate himself. He 176 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:24.080 continued to show the quality of his character by trying to diffuse the situation. 177 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:31.559 He is being interrogated after the most stressful situation of his life. That's just 178 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.480 more from that same clip there. But this is something that I'm sure it's 179 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:41.399 getting talked about because it's an important it's an important detail, the claim that 180 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.840 he dragged the officer. You know, I don't know if this is going 181 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:48.840 to I mean, I guess the closest thing to proof is that they've dropped 182 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:54.679 the charges. However, there's no evidence that that happened other than it just 183 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.679 being what the And again, I don't believe that there was a secondary altercation 184 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.440 and what we I'm sorry there was that what we saw was after the fact. 185 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.360 You know, there's people that say a bus was blocking one of the 186 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.200 cameras that's set up there at the course to where you couldn't see initially what 187 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:16.240 had happened, and that he actually already had dragged this officer before you saw 188 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.159 the officer try to bring him out of his car, and you know, 189 00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.960 make it hostile. That just doesn't make any sense to me. Doesn't make 190 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.360 any sense at all. And what I mean by that is like, if 191 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:33.679 what we saw in the video that was released last week was after he had 192 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:39.799 already dragged this officer ten to fifteen yards, everybody else who's out there with 193 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:45.759 Gillis would have been swarming him, honestly, probably would have had guns drawn, 194 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.879 given the way that some of these these guys act so like, it 195 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:56.639 just doesn't make any sense. And to now know that there's witnesses that have 196 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:01.679 talked to both the county attorney and to Romans claim and I guess we're willing 197 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.120 to testify that they saw it. They didn't video it, they don't have 198 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.840 any evidence, but they saw it, and they're willing to testify that that 199 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.759 just flat out did not happen. He is being interrogated whip after the most 200 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:20.679 stressed. There are multiple eyewitnesses to the incident. The actual initial contact that 201 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:26.200 I've spoken with, I have statements from that the county spoke the Prosecutor's office 202 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:31.320 have spoken with that confirmed that he was not dragged. You believe they would 203 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.960 have dismissed this case if he was dragged. No, they would not have. 204 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:43.360 That did not happen. And what really sucks about this is that it 205 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.159 wouldn't be a huge shock if, in fact, there was somebody that's famous, 206 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:54.720 like Scottie Scheffler that did something. Actually, just put it this way. 207 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:58.799 Let's say that whole thing is true and he was dragged and there was 208 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:05.720 video of it and he was still charged and it was a felony. There 209 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.320 would still be people claiming LMPD was in the wrong. There'd still be people 210 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.720 claiming, oh, come on, give him a break, he was just 211 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.039 trying to get to his tea time and you guys were holding him up because 212 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.879 you're a bunch of bum cops. Like that would be the reaction from some 213 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.919 people, and that's just where we are in society. But to know that 214 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:28.919 like this was so like this, this was nothing. I mean, I 215 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.200 shouldn't say nothing. I mean it was, but I think at least I 216 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.600 choose to think that most people would have at least had more of a conversation 217 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:43.960 and diffused the situation as much as Scheffler tried to. Because I think that's 218 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:46.279 all he was trying to do in that conversation, and yet they didn't want 219 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:52.600 any part of it because in their mind, he'd already you know nothing, 220 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.399 Hey, no talking about he's going to jail, buddy, He's going to 221 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:58.080 jail. Remember the first video that came out that morning after the fact, 222 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.200 Like that's what they just kept. It's almost like they were bragging, like 223 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:04.240 scoreboard gotcha, Nope, going to jail. And I know that there are 224 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:10.039 great law enforcement officers all over the world, especially in this city, in 225 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:14.200 this in this area. It just sucks that, you know, you have 226 00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:18.159 these kind of things happen, and there are some that will never trust cops 227 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:25.799 for a variety of reasons and just it's unfortunate. But when it comes to 228 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.200 what Roman said about like never talk to cops, I mean, I think 229 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.080 you should always be kind. If they're kind to you, you should be 230 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.919 respectful. If they're respectful to you, you should follow a lawful command because 231 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:42.440 I mean, you know, I don't know, maybe I shouldn't have said 232 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:45.159 that part because maybe they're giving you a lawful command and it's to incriminate you. 233 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:49.000 I don't know. But if you're just looking to give any law enforcement 234 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.679 officer a hard time. Like, you know, I don't think you should 235 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:55.120 do that. I can't tell you what to do. You can do whatever 236 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:56.679 you want, but I don't think that's something people should do because I believe 237 00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:02.320 in being kind to human beings when you can. But some of the questions 238 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:03.880 they do ask, I mean, you know, it's not their business and 239 00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:07.200 it has nothing to do. They don't have a right to know that it's 240 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.279 not their business, and there's no reason that you should have to answer it. 241 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:17.720 And some people probably answer those questions, and you know, it ends 242 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:22.279 up getting them down a path to where maybe they've incriminated themselves or at least 243 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:29.599 given law enforcement enough to charge them with something that maybe wasn't legitimate. It's 244 00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:30.359 one of the things he talked about. I don't have the clip of it, 245 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:36.839 but how often times everybody's overcharged initially, and it's because of those kind 246 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:40.759 of things, just because they you know they'll and by the way, you 247 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:42.400 know, until you in front of a judge, I mean, that's really 248 00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:45.119 when it comes down to did you do what they're accusing you of doing? 249 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.680 Right? But like, let's not act like just being charged with something isn't 250 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.519 a substantial thing. I mean that's I mean, I think if you're charged 251 00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.880 with a crime and it's like proven that like it was not legitimately something that 252 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:02.480 should have like the charges were not legit I mean, people aren't held accountable 253 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:06.599 for that, and I just think that's wild. I guess if you are 254 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.599 someone who brings information to law enforcement that you lie about that then brings charges, 255 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.640 then I guess you can be held accountable legally. But it sounds like 256 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:19.799 this guy, this officer Gillis, I mean, it sounds like he just 257 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:25.119 completely exaggerated or maybe made it up, which is wild to think about, 258 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:30.319 but clearly that stuff kind of happens. It was nice to hear Scotty Scheffler 259 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.359 meant, you know, not Scotty Seffler. But his attorney mentioned that, 260 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.480 you know, they didn't want to do any they didn't want to pursue litigation 261 00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:41.039 at all, which I think is is good news because you know, it 262 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.519 sounds like with the family history of I guess I think his mother, I 263 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:49.279 don't know if she was an attorney or is an attorney still, But there 264 00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:52.720 was some national coverage of this, basically stating that, you know, if 265 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.039 he wanted to file a lawsuit, you know, he may have some resources 266 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:00.680 on his side to potentially win a big lawsuit, which good news is he's 267 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:07.599 not going to file a lawsuit, and I think that's you know, nice 268 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.559 of him to do. But also, let's be real, if he filed 269 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.359 a lawsuit and he won and it was a ton of money, it's taxpayers 270 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:17.599 they would have to pay for that. Lawsuits are paid by the taxpayers. 271 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:23.920 He prevails in civil litigation against LMPD, who pays that taxpayers a Louisville he 272 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:30.119 doesn't wish the taxpayers the Louisville of Louisville to pay him for whatever occurred. 273 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:37.839 So I'm sure it'll die down in the coming days. But one thing that 274 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.920 I don't have a clue what to expect that could make it to where this 275 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:47.519 thing doesn't just go away is that LMPD released a statement earlier this afternoon, 276 00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:51.720 shortly after it became public that the charges were dropped, and said that videos 277 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:55.519 and documents which were previously unreleased due to the judicial process, will be made 278 00:19:55.519 --> 00:20:02.759 available after appropriate reactions are made. So maybe there's more video that comes out 279 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:07.240 that makes this look even worse for this officer. All right, quick break, 280 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:10.480 we'll come back on the other side, keep this thing rolling along again. 281 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:11.720 It's Coffee and Company and we are fueled by Thornton's.

All right, 299 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:25.400 So, the door to door salesman who was in my neighborhood the other 300 00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:26.519 day, I talked about it, I think right around this time yesterday, 301 00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:33.480 and we've mentioned it here and there throughout the show today because apparently these this 302 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:36.319 company, you know, I'm not going to mention their name, but they 303 00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:41.599 sell pest control services. They wear like a like a lime green, like 304 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:45.680 a white and lime green I think. But they have those hover boards that 305 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:48.759 they ride around on in your neighborhood, and it's quite clear like they're they're 306 00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:53.640 selling stuff usually like the clipboards a giveaway or like a tablet or something like 307 00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:59.599 that. And I've had people since the show started that are like, you 308 00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.480 know, friend of mine, one of them being a great friend of mine, 309 00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.960 Miss Tony Venetti, who says that the sales door to door sales guys 310 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.119 from this company they hit Saint Matthew's recently today. It sounds like they got 311 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:17.200 boots on the ground in Jaytown. That's when my buddy tells me they're everywhere. 312 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:19.920 They're aggressive, and it's not uncommon to see somebody walking around a neighborhood 313 00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:25.000 trying to hustle, go door to door. And I got no problem with 314 00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:29.039 somebody trying to make a living. I actually don't even mind if somebody came 315 00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:33.119 to my door and knocked on it, or they saw me outside and they 316 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.759 came to approach me to have a conversation. I'm uncomfortable and awkward because I 317 00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:41.680 don't want to be rude and just say no. And I know that they're 318 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.119 not just going to take no for an answer. They're going to be not 319 00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.279 even pushy, but just have a response, have an answer for everything. 320 00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:51.599 They can counter whatever it is you have to say. That annoys me, 321 00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:57.039 but the overall, you know, initial interaction doesn't bother me because they're just 322 00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:00.319 trying to make a living. Now the way it all started for me the 323 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:06.200 other day, holiday right, I'm packing up the kids. We're going to 324 00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:10.519 my mother's house for a little cookout, enjoy the holiday. I'm putting my 325 00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:12.960 children in the car seat. It's quite clear what I'm doing in my garage, 326 00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.000 and sure enough I turn around the guys right behind me, I mean 327 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:19.640 not like literally, but like, you know, within five six feet and 328 00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:25.680 instead of like, you know, hey did I catch at a bad time? 329 00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:27.759 Like he you know, inky, went right into who do you guys 330 00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:33.039 use for? Because it's never a hey, would you be interested in having 331 00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:37.039 a conversation about whatever I'm selling? They never do that because nobody would say 332 00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:41.440 yes. So it's who do you use? And if you say this company 333 00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.599 or you say you don't, you don't use anybody, then that you know, 334 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:47.880 they can go right into what they want to do. If you, 335 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:49.640 you know, like not interested, they won't just say okay, have a 336 00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:52.119 nice day. Oh do you know the smith's down the road? Talk to 337 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:57.319 them. I mean, they have an answer for everything. And I'm not 338 00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:03.880 as pushy as maybe some be. I mean, I think as pushy as 339 00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:04.839 I've ever been. Was like, look, I'm not interested, man, 340 00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:10.839 not gonna happen, see you later. That's probably about as aggressive as I 341 00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:12.279 would ever be, unless you know, it got to a point where it's 342 00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:15.240 like, all right, I'm gonna call the cops, you lunatic, leave 343 00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:19.279 me alone. But this company, the ones that the one that I'm referring 344 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:25.680 to that's got boots on the ground everywhere they're training. It's it's impressive. 345 00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:27.279 Like I would love to be a fly on the wall with a new employee, 346 00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.799 a new hire, just to hear how they because these guys are not 347 00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:37.920 bashful, they're not discouraged by anything you have to say. And you know, 348 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:44.160 if you've got a neighborhood that doesn't allow soliciting, and I'm sure you 349 00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:51.759 know there's some ways around that. But what they've told somebody not in my 350 00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:53.079 neighborhood, but a neighborhood near me, because again, this has become like 351 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:57.920 a big conversation around my area because they're everywhere and they're not just like you 352 00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:02.799 know, they're I guess more persistent than anybody else. And it's just got 353 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:04.160 a lot of people upset because like, hey, they keep coming back and 354 00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:07.880 they won't leave me alone. But when they ride around on those hoverboards in 355 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:10.880 the street, you know they're on a public street, like they don't think 356 00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:12.160 there's anything anybody can do, like I don't. They're not breaking the law. 357 00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:15.519 Public street is not private property. They have every right to be there, 358 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:19.000 so like they're not doing anything wrong. And then they when they come 359 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:22.799 on your property and you say, hey, you can't be here no soliciting 360 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:27.039 because of because of like the HOA or whatever it may be like that has 361 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:32.240 that rule. They the company they work for. Clearly it's not a local 362 00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:34.279 company. I mean, they're huge. They pay money in certain areas, 363 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:38.079 according to these salesmen to have like a city permit to where they have the 364 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.279 right to solicit, which I'm not even sure if that's the thing, but 365 00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:42.720 that's what they tell people. And you know, it'd be tough for you 366 00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:47.880 to be able to, like, you know, prove them wrong. Right. 367 00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:49.799 In fact, they may have documentation on them it tells them they're allowed 368 00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:52.480 to be there now if you have private property. I guess that's a little 369 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:57.160 bit of a different story. But what I think is wild is that it 370 00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:00.279 seems as if, in like the last seventy two hours, they just went 371 00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:03.279 crazy. Maybe it's because summer's officially still well I don't know if it's officially 372 00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:07.319 starting, but my official kickoff to the summer is this past holiday week and 373 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:10.839 they just concluded, I mean, and they have it, and I guess 374 00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:15.559 they know people are going to be out because the weather's nice and most people 375 00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:18.519 aren't working on Monday, but they were everywhere. But even since then, 376 00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:22.960 like they're still around and I just find it fascinating, and we've it's led 377 00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.440 to a lot of people sharing stories of what, you know, what they 378 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.519 what they say to these people who try to sell them something, and then 379 00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:32.920 like if you're just immediately a jerk to them, again, you have every 380 00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:36.839 right to do that, and I'm sure they've dealt with worse. But what 381 00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.000 really just makes it irritating is the a simple hey, no, thank you, 382 00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:47.519 not interested like that in any any walk of life, any sales gig, 383 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:52.519 shouldn't that be enough. I mean, I guess that makes you a 384 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:55.559 bad salesman if you do take no for an answer right out of the gate. 385 00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:59.839 Because unless people come to you looking to buy, and you're approaching them 386 00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:04.480 like you are, you're hustling. You are soliciting business. And if you 387 00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:10.039 go to someone's door, clearly they weren't looking for what you were selling because 388 00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:12.200 they were in their home, right, It's it's not you know, if 389 00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:15.160 guy walks on the car lot, he wants to buy, right, or 390 00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:17.920 at least he's there for a reason and not just to, you know, 391 00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.039 just to hang out. A guy comes in your store. There's interest at 392 00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.839 some point it, you know, to some level that you can ask him, 393 00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:29.000 hey can I help you? You know, just you know we got 394 00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:32.640 this deal going on. They're already there there, there's some level of interest 395 00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:36.359 that brought them to you. But like to go to somebody's door try to 396 00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:38.240 do your sales pitch and then tell you not interested, and for you to 397 00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:41.880 still try like it is kind of a crazy move if you think about it. 398 00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:48.000 But at one point, like the you know, not to say anybody 399 00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:52.160 should be violent or do anything crazy, but I'm just there's gonna be like 400 00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.640 a video of somebody video on one of these guys, and you know it'll 401 00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:59.160 go viral because everybody will share it and say, hey, these guys were 402 00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:00.720 my neighborhood. And I'm I don't mean one or two guys specifically, I 403 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:03.079 just mean the people who work for this company. It'll be a video of 404 00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:10.319 somebody pushing them off of their hoverboard as they're walking away. I would be 405 00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:14.000 terrible at selling anything, I believe. In fact, my first job I 406 00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:17.640 worked at Finish Line. I'm sorry. My first job that I actually worked 407 00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:18.960 for a while I was Finished Line. But my first job was at Hollister, 408 00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:23.400 and uh, you know, I made very little money hourly, and 409 00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:27.880 I got commissioned if I helped somebody with something. So what I was told 410 00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:33.920 to do was stand and unfold and refold jeans in the in the guy section 411 00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:37.640 and ask people who walked by, have you heard how good our jeanes fit? 412 00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:41.559 And you know that didn't. That wasn't a line that got much interest 413 00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:45.119 from anybody, and it was awkward. So I took my first break and 414 00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:48.519 never came back. Had a little bit of better luck at finish line, 415 00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:51.799 which is kind of the same type of job if you think about it. 416 00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:53.319 But I'm just curious, like I would love to hear it. I don't. 417 00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:56.559 I'm not. I wouldn't. I wouldn't make fun of them. I 418 00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:00.200 wouldn't do it to, you know, to make a joke out of them. 419 00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.160 If you have done that type of job, and you've had success to 420 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:08.200 where you have legitimately made a living, and you didn't like look to leave 421 00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:11.839 the first chance you get because it was something you were able to actually generate 422 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.839 income from and you and you found out you were kind of good at it, 423 00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:18.119 I'd love to pick your brain on the show, because I bet you 424 00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:22.200 have some stories about things people have said to you that what did you to 425 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:25.720 get the hell away? I'm sure you've got some success stories where might it 426 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:27.880 might have started out like that type of an interaction and sure enough you sold 427 00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:33.160 them. And I would also love to know the commission structure because I would 428 00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:37.440 imagine probably if you because that's a hard thing to do. It'd be funny 429 00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:40.720 if when you were having the conversation with the guy the other day or just 430 00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:44.440 in another instance in the future, if you got them, if you started 431 00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.839 your own conversation about how do you do this? Man like just making it 432 00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:49.839 about I may do job. I may do that next time. I may 433 00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:52.680 say, look, let me tell you this is who I am. I'm 434 00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:56.400 sure you don't know who I am, but I host the radio show and 435 00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:00.119 we've talked about you, not you specifically, but this situation I got it. 436 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:03.359 I would I'm not gonna buy from you, but I'll give you my 437 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:04.359 time if you want it. Knowing you're not gonna get a sale, he'll 438 00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:07.920 probably walk away, right, But if he would have a conversation with me, 439 00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.839 I would pick his brain and he may not tell me the truth, 440 00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:14.839 but I'm you know, well, if he broke down. He's just like, 441 00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:17.559 man, this sucks, this is all of God. I would that 442 00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:22.279 may I'm let's be real, you think some of these guys haven't given like 443 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:25.759 the ultimate pity sympathy thing to get a sale. I guarantee you they have, 444 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:27.759 right, Like, I'm just trying to make a living to feed my 445 00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:30.720 kids, and that may that may be true as well, and that may 446 00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:34.960 be that may be a savvy move to to get it done, you know, 447 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:40.960 get the deal by you know, anything, anything, any means necessary. 448 00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:42.920 One of the things I didn't mention yesterday was when he asked me if 449 00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:47.200 I knew the Smiths who I don't know? Who they are? He asked 450 00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:48.519 me if I knew my neighbor across the street, who I do, and 451 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.200 I don't believe that they are a customer, which I'm pretty sure they're not. 452 00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:57.240 You know, he continued to mention other people. And you know, 453 00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:00.400 at this time, I'm just walking around walking, you know, just finally 454 00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:03.799 got my daughter in her car seat, got her buckle in. I'm walking 455 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.119 like, I'm not even looking at him. I'm just walking back to the 456 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:07.960 car to get in. So he finally takes the hint, and sure of 457 00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:12.960 me shutting the door and you know, turning the car on. That was 458 00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:17.640 him, you know, that was him. He was leaving at that point, 459 00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:21.480 but it's like he had the like he in his world, he thought 460 00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:23.960 that that's all people do in the neighborhood is talk about the services they provide 461 00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:26.279 and how we all need it. Like, what do you mean, Like, 462 00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:27.359 even if I do know them, do you think that's what we talk 463 00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:32.839 about? Like just fascinating to me. Fascinating stuff. All right, quick 464 00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:34.039 break, we'll come back and wrap this thing up. On the other side, 465 00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:38.759 it sounds as if we're getting closer and closer to figuring out every player 466 00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:41.559 that is in the draft currently if they're going to stay in or come back. 467 00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.319 And man, a lot of schools have already used their scholarships because I 468 00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.160 think a lot of coaches would love to rather be safe than sorry. But 469 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.480 there's some good players left. I don't know if i'd say there's any elite 470 00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.440 guy left, but Arthur Kaluma Coleman Hawkins. I mean, those are two 471 00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.960 guys that I feel like could play for anybody. Obviously different role depending on 472 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:02.759 where they go, but where they end up it'll be interesting to see, 473 00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:06.359 all right, quick break again, We'll let wrap it up. On the 474 00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:07.680 other side, it's coffee and company. Feel abut Thorton's right here on Sports 475 00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:13.839 Talk seven ninety one of the more unique voices in music. I don't know 476 00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:16.720 if this is sel Green solo or one of the acts he performs with. 477 00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:21.319 This is regular SELO. Okay, Yeah, he's uh, he's got a 478 00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:23.400 sound man. He's one of those guys that when you hear him, like, 479 00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:27.599 you know exactly who it is. And I guess a lot of artists 480 00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:29.640 have that, but I feel like he's somebody that isn't. I mean, 481 00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:30.839 he's mainstream, but you know what I mean, like he's not as big 482 00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:36.799 as you know the eye. Yeah, good stuff there, all right. 483 00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:40.799 So I'm trying to see if there's any if there's any up to date list 484 00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:46.119 here. The one I'm looking at is is from a couple of hours ago. 485 00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:50.640 But you know, Arthur Kaluma, we talked about him. He's coming 486 00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:55.119 back to uh to college. Don't know where he's gonna end up. Also, 487 00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:00.400 who else was it that Coleman Hawkins He's gonna which he's I guess he's 488 00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:05.079 withdrawn from the draft. And those are two players that I feel like right 489 00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:07.680 now would have to be up there as far as you know, some of 490 00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:13.319 the best players available in the portal. And I'm sure there are some schools 491 00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:17.680 that have scholarships available. I mean, I'm sure Kentucky has some, Indiana 492 00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:21.160 doesn't have any, Louval didn't have any, Indiana has one. I thought 493 00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:22.920 they took the kid from Butlerman they did, that was one of their two. 494 00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:27.319 Yeah, well heck, maybe they could get involved here with one of 495 00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:30.079 these players and you know, really add a nice piece to to to round 496 00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:36.240 out the roster. So if I was a coach, this would be a 497 00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:39.200 difficult decision for me as far as how you like, how you go about 498 00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:46.759 managing scholarships, because at this point, I mean, there's probably still players 499 00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:52.079 available. But I would say on the Louisville side, you know, they 500 00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:58.680 they were willing to take that last commitment from Frank. I can't think of 501 00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:04.359 his last name and Insulm. Maybe I'm saying that incorrectly. He was the 502 00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:07.000 transfer who played at Syracuse and at Georgia, and it's played a lot of 503 00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:09.440 basketball but has not at all been you know, a super productive player. 504 00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:12.840 But maybe he's just a good a good body. I mean to me, 505 00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:15.679 he's the exact kind of player that you should expect to get if you only 506 00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:20.039 have one scholarship left, you know, he's not going to have a ton 507 00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:25.000 of high interest. And you know, when you're at thirteen and you've built 508 00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:30.440 a team from scratch, it's going to take somebody willing to have a minor 509 00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:35.800 role. And I'd say given that he's had a minor role at Syracuse and 510 00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:39.599 at Georgia for four years collectively, then you know, Louisville was an attractive 511 00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:43.800 spot for him. But if they'd have left that open and potentially, you 512 00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:47.599 know, pursued one of these guys available, I wouldn't have criticized it because 513 00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:51.079 you could still get some good players. But you never know, right like, 514 00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:52.159 there's a lot of schools that are going to be going after these guys, 515 00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:54.599 and if you can, you know, if you have the ability to 516 00:34:54.719 --> 00:35:00.320 just finalize your roster, like a lot of schools probably have it. Point 517 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:02.840 I mean, I get it. Which, by the way, UL has 518 00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:07.880 announced a lot of these guys officially meeting all these players that have that have 519 00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:13.840 transferred in and I'm excited. We got a long way to go to basketball, 520 00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:16.360 but just you know, these are not. These aren't guys we weren't 521 00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:21.639 aware of. But I cannot wait. I mean, the air has already 522 00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:25.599 started, right with with I mean Pat Kelsey, I mean we know that, 523 00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:30.679 but this will be a great year for them to have had a summer 524 00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:32.320 trip for us to see this team. But you know they don't choose to 525 00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:35.639 do that, and that's fine. Have a good night, everybody, see tomorrow.
