WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:08.679 It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven nine 2 00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:29.679 day. Now, here's Nick coffee. All right, let's get it started 3 00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:34.320 at the five o'clock hour here on a Tuesday afternoon. It's a Friday for 4 00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:38.600 me. I hope that doesn't make you jealous. I will be out tomorrow 5 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:44.799 through Friday and of course back on Monday. And I'm starting to calm my 6 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.119 I don't know. I wouldn't call it nerves, but every now and then 7 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.679 I get like pre travel trip anxiety to where I just I don't know, 8 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.479 I feel like there's something inside of me telling me the last thing you need 9 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:56.640 to be doing is going on this trip, which is nonsense. I'm looking 10 00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.679 forward to this trip, but I feel like because it's a little I mean, 11 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.640 it's not really a spontaneous type of trip. But you know, in 12 00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:07.760 typical me fashion, I just assumed I just have my dates wrong. I 13 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.079 thought, if this is a trip that we've known we were going to be 14 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.439 going on for a while and looking forward to it, but it didn't hit 15 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.200 me until it just a couple of days ago that it's actually taking place in 16 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:23.519 June, not July. So you know, I wasn't prepared to pack or 17 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.760 anything like that, so kind of scrambling to get everything in order. We 18 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.200 are driving, So I took my car to the car wash, only for 19 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.439 my kids to then, you know, just make another mess of it. 20 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.959 Because that's that's what happens when you have, you know, young kids, 21 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.760 at least that's what happens to me. If you got any tips about how 22 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.400 you know your kids can keep the you know, I guess not let them 23 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.879 eat or drink in the car, But like I would, I could never 24 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:48.560 do that. I mean, I guess I could, but I wouldn't want 25 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.959 to. Who doesn't like having snacks when they're in the car? That'd be? 26 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.519 Is that? I mean, that's it's a good way to pass the 27 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.079 time. It's punishment. I feel like if they can't have who doesn't want 28 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.959 snacks in the car? Come on now? I mean, i'd take my 29 00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.159 kids to get I mean the road trip to say, yeah, donuts and 30 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.640 slushies every morning for breakfast. Not every morning, but at least a couple 31 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.400 of times a week. You know, that can leave a mess in the 32 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.319 vehicle. So I guess it's my own fault. But yeah, I'm looking 33 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:13.639 forward to to getting away and spending time with some family, and you'll be 34 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.639 in good hands because you'll have Tony Venetti, Dave Jennings and also Scott Fitzgerald 35 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:23.520 filling in while I'm gone. So enjoy Are you someone that packs like way 36 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:28.520 ahead of time? If I don't, I get super stressed. So there 37 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.159 are certain times where I'm able to pack a couple of days ahead of time, 38 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:35.120 But in situations where I can't, and you know, it just happens, 39 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.039 and it's more stressful that way. All right, So let me ask 40 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.719 you this. If you were in the same position I'm in, when you're 41 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:46.719 leaving tomorrow morning for a trip that'll keep you gone for four nights in five 42 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.719 days, when would you have your bag packed and ready? I would have 43 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.560 liked it to be packed yesterday if I was leaving tomorrow. Okay, so 44 00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.960 you would have liked it, meaning like you would have liked to have it 45 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.039 packed on Monday, knowing you're leaving Wednesday. Yeah, the day before you 46 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:06.520 leave, to me is best if it's a day of kind of just relaxing 47 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.039 before you get up and get in the car. So is it more just 48 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:15.280 about the process and like the mental component of packing for a trip or is 49 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.439 it like you have because I don't. I mean, I feel like you 50 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.680 wouldn't have a lot to pack, right, Like I mean not bringing you 51 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.680 know, I mean, I'm gonna bring enough clothes, always enough in case, 52 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:29.120 you know, something happens. But I think I am in the minority 53 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.879 when it comes to packing. I don't even consider it to be procrastinating. 54 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:38.800 I can pack the night before a trip and be totally fine and not worry 55 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:42.560 about it ahead of time. Not you know, think I'm gonna forget something. 56 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.479 I think mourning of or day of is different. I think that's like 57 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:51.000 a that's a scramble because then you're overthinking it and worrying that you left something. 58 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.599 But I am wired to. I mean, I could be gone for 59 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:59.240 a week and I'll pack the night before and as long as we've done laundry 60 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.280 and stuff, I'm good to go. Like I don't. That doesn't stress 61 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.759 me. It doesn't take me a crazy amount of time to pack. But 62 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:10.120 you know, my wife totally different situation, Like you know you haven't even 63 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.240 packed yet. No, we haven't. We're not leaving to tomorrow. Like 64 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.240 if if I wake up day of trip and I haven't started packing, then 65 00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:16.959 you can be upset, like, don't have to worry about me. I'm 66 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:21.160 gonna get my stuff packed and it's gonna be fine. But I think a 67 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:25.279 lot of people like to get the packing done ahead of time, And here 68 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.720 I may have just figured out why I have this pre travel anxiety. Maybe 69 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.360 if I packed way ahead of time, then I'd never worry about it. 70 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.120 But I don't feel like my anxiousness has anything to do with packing, because 71 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.680 you know, I'm gonna pack close and that's really gonna be it. I'm 72 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.879 gonna take my backpack that as my laptop, and uh, there are you 73 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.959 know. I'm trying to think of something I could forget that would be really 74 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.639 like a really big deal like that. It would be like, oh, 75 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:47.680 I can't believe I forgot that. Yeah. See, I'm the kind of 76 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.639 person who always I overthink that I'm going to forget something, and it's usually 77 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.800 something like even if I forgot it, it's probably not a big deal, 78 00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.439 even though in my head, I'll just be super pissed that I left something. 79 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.680 Same here, like I think if I left my laptop, I would 80 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.000 be very very like I would feel naked, like I would feel like I 81 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.680 don't know what, I've got to turn around. I gotta go home on 82 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.120 my laptop. But there's also a chance I take the laptop and never open 83 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.279 it on this trip, just because you know, I don't know what I'll 84 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:15.560 need, but just knowing that if I had to do some work, if 85 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.199 I had to send an email, if I had to I mean, and 86 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.160 I have been times needed the laptop because even though I'm on vacation, like 87 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:24.000 I gotta, you know, there's things I got to keep up with. 88 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:30.720 But yeah, I lose, like other than leaving my wallet with my license 89 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:34.680 and my phone, I can't really because if it's closed, that would be 90 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:36.839 not ideal. But I can get closed, you know what I'm saying. 91 00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.079 I can go to a store and buy, you know, an outfit. 92 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.399 I mean, you remember what happened on my way to Atlanta, right, 93 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.519 I had to stop and get closed? Yeah, because there was I mean, 94 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.319 it was I mean, I I don't that was a trip that we 95 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:51.959 were I don't even know if people know this. I don't remember talking about 96 00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:56.800 it beforehand, so maybe it's not something anybody new or I'm sure you don't 97 00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.240 care about it. That was like a last minute decision, like we thought 98 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.319 we planned on going. We were gonna be going to Atlanta for the Louisville, 99 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.839 Georgia Tech Game last year, but leading into it, it just started 100 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.959 to seem like more work than what we would get out of being there. 101 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.720 And I really thought, okay, you know, first post postgame show of 102 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:15.920 the Jeff brom era, I don't want to have any hiccups, Like maybe 103 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.319 it would be best to just stay back to it in studio because I'm gonna 104 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.839 have to leave the I'm gonna have to leave the hotel at halftime and get 105 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.720 settled in for the postgame show so I can make sure we're on the air. 106 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.120 And at the end, I just decided let's go ahead and do it 107 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:30.879 because I don't want to not be there as Bron makes his debut and it's 108 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.120 a you know, standalone game, prime time on a Friday night on ESPN. 109 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.639 And I was glad that we went. But because of that, you 110 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.399 know, last minute, and I mean woke up and decided, all right, 111 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:44.439 we're going. I brought the clothes on my back, that was it. 112 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.480 So actually know, I brought a pair of like basketball shorts to sleep 113 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:53.399 in and like a T shirt, but like I didn't actually have, you 114 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.839 know, clothes to wear to the game. And I wasn't like going to 115 00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.399 be dressing up in like a you know, sport code or anything like that. 116 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.720 But I had, you know, I wasn't. I didn't Louisville gear, 117 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.519 which you're not really supposed to wear in the press box. Anyway, 118 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.360 so we stopped along the way and we were on a time crunch too. 119 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.199 We had to be on the air at three o'clock. We barely made it, 120 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.800 if you remember, which I'm sure you don't. People don't remember. 121 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.480 I was guess I was talking to John there, but it was kind of 122 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.720 a scramble. I think we actually started the show on the phone, maybe 123 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.120 because of the scramble, But anyways, they have Yeah, like that was 124 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.639 like that was where I forgot clothes. But you know, there's plenty of 125 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:21.800 places you can buy clothes. And I'm not somebody that you know, is 126 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:26.040 really worried about fashion and style because I don't have any anyway with the clothes 127 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.920 I have as my own. You know, it's not like I'm you know, 128 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.199 I've got something that I really want. Like, for example, we're 129 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.199 going on this trip, I have no clue what I'm gonna wear. I'm 130 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.279 just gonna throw a bunch of clothes that I typically wear into this into this 131 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:41.240 suitcase, and that's gonna be it. So I didn't mention this the other 132 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.480 day, but I nearly lost my driver's license in Delaware. Oh No. 133 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.680 We were at a state park called Cape Henlopen, and in order to ride 134 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.199 the bikes around the state park, you have to give them your driver's license. 135 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.079 And when we finished up, we were in such a hurry to leave. 136 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:57.879 My wife was having kind of like an issue that we had to deal 137 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.519 with, and I just left it there. In about six hours later, 138 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.079 the people at the state park called me and I I didn't even be cause 139 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.319 I lost it, but thankfully they called me and I went back and got 140 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.160 it. Yeah, that's something that you could go without and not know it 141 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.199 for a long time, exactly until you get pulled over. Yeah even Yeah, 142 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.120 you could be without your license because honestly, how often, like I 143 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.079 don't I know, you don't buy a lot of booze. I don't get 144 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.040 carted anymore because I'm not, And you probably wouldn't get card anyway, because 145 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.639 you don't look twenty one. You're far from twenty one, but twenty five 146 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.800 to twenty six. Yeah, twenty six, So you know that's a good 147 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:31.879 point. The ID would be something that you would really not You could go 148 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.480 a long time without knowing you don't have it. Now if you're and this 149 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.720 is what I guess, if you open your wallet and see that it's not 150 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.240 there, it would stand out. But you know, for me, I 151 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.759 have and I don't know why I have this underneath my actual ID, I 152 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:52.240 have an older ID that became was it expired, No, it's an ID 153 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.399 that is an old from It's the last idea that I had before we moved. 154 00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:00.240 So visually, you know, my dumbass wouldn't even be able to see 155 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.360 that I don't actually have a legitimate license because you know that one is not 156 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:05.320 valid because I had to get a new one because we moved. So yeah, 157 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.759 I guess like airports, you always need it, but you didn't fly, 158 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.639 so yeah, yeah, I can't. That's scary. That's weird to 159 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.000 think about. What are situations I guess I get other than getting pulled over 160 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.600 where you kind of immediately need your license pulled over carded to buy something. 161 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:22.279 You mentioned alcohol, and we didn't do any of that while we were out 162 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.919 there either. I can't. Yeah, I can't think of anything honestly, 163 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:30.480 because I mean, it's a driver's license. Now it's also used to identify 164 00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.519 yourself and and you know some people actually have IDs but not driver's licenses. 165 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.720 But uh, yeah, I I could. That's such a me thing to 166 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.919 not have my ID and not realize it. Like months could go buy and 167 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.559 I could be thinking, I don't know where I left it, I don't 168 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.440 know who has it, I don't know you know, what happened. But 169 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.360 in fact, I have to confess something embarrassing here that is not just it's 170 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.559 it's only embarrassing for me because my wife. So there was a time where 171 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.559 my wife and this this is a bad look on her, and thankfully, 172 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.159 fingers crossed, we no longer deal with this ever again. But my wife 173 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:13.200 lost three iPhones in like an eighteen month period when we were younger, and 174 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.320 when you know, we didn't have you know, the means to just go 175 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:22.639 replace an iPhone, right and one. It happened once and it was just 176 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.440 a rare you know, it was just a you know, we really don't 177 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.559 even know where she ended up losing it. This was in a world where 178 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.720 people were on their phone a lot but nothing like you are now, you 179 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:33.879 know what I mean. And to be fair, my wife, you know, 180 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.480 I think this is actually a quality, a compliment to her. She 181 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.759 can go without her phone a lot better than I can, and actually a 182 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.000 lot better than I think most people. My wife cannot have her phone for 183 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.200 hours and not realize it, and sometimes it pisses me off and I need 184 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.240 to get a hold of her. She's just you know whatever. But because 185 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.120 of that, she has an Apple Watch, so her phones not on her 186 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.080 one of the kids has it watching videos like she'll see on her phone that 187 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.279 I'm calling, which I'm glad that she has that product that is the Apple 188 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.519 Watch. But she lost the first one and it was just kind of you 189 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.639 know, we chalked it up as you know, you bad luck, what 190 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.480 are you gonna do? So then we got a new one, and then 191 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.240 she had it for a long long time and then she left it at a 192 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.080 pedlar's mall for some reason. She set it down at a pedlar's mall to 193 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.759 look at something left and came back and big surprise, wasn't there anymore. 194 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:26.080 And then we got a replacement. Five days later. She left it at 195 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.399 the tanning bag. Big surprise. Went back, wasn't there, And you 196 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.080 know, I know she's not doing it on purpose, but like, come 197 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.440 on, like what are we doing here? Like, you know, so 198 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.639 it became a really you know, it would be something that I would just 199 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.039 casually bring up, not during a fight, but just I'd be a smart 200 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.759 ass about make sure you don't leave your iPhone here, like we could be 201 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.200 anywhere in the world. Hey, make sure you just don't sit your iPhone 202 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.120 down here, you know, just kind of you know, busting her chops 203 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.720 a little bit. That's tough too, because once it happens that many times, 204 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.399 you become super self conscious, like, man, am I gonna leave 205 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.000 it? Well? What else am I going to leave it? So again 206 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.679 I'm not exaggerating, we haven't. He hasn't lost an iPhone since we've had 207 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.080 a kid, So you know, it's a long time. So Karma came 208 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:11.600 back to get me because it wasn't that long after her iPhone issues ended that 209 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.559 I continue to leave my debit card places. I would, you know, 210 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.159 pay for dinner and it would be given back to me with the receipt to 211 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.440 sign and I would just forget it. In fact, one time I left 212 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:31.000 it in an ATM and you know that's dangerous. Yeah. So another another 213 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.960 time where I lost it where I just you know, I left it in 214 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.879 the card reader somewhere when I paid for it. And you know, we 215 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.080 can quickly cancel the card when we find out it's and and any time that 216 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.080 it's happened, there was no there were no charges of somebody using it because 217 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.600 I'd left it. But you know the process of getting a new card is 218 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.639 never you know that convenient. Uh. And my wife works for the financial 219 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:58.200 institution where we where we bank and keep our money, and they're a little 220 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:03.080 smaller than some of the you know, big national banks to where getting a 221 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:07.360 card from them as you know, not as convenient. So you know, 222 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:09.080 with that, I complain about how long it takes, and you know, 223 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.360 she's giving it right back to me like, well, you probably shouldn't have 224 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:18.360 lost it. So on Father's Day actually it came up. So but le'll 225 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.799 be back up. Two days before Father's Day, somehow the iPhone thing came 226 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.159 up, and I, you know, couldn't help myself. I took another 227 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.480 jab at her about losing iPhones. So then she threw it right back at 228 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:35.000 me about debit card like you know, and It's true I lost debit cards. 229 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.799 Now those didn't cost us any money. The iPhones did. However, 230 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:46.440 We're at the track at Churchill Downs on Father's Day and I lost my debit 231 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.600 card and just two days before I was like, what's the last time that's 232 00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.600 happened. I haven't lost my debit card in forever? Like I was, 233 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:58.600 you know, defensive, and then I realized I didn't have my debit card. 234 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:03.440 And all it took was you know, me looking for it. And 235 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.919 she looked at me with a grin, like, you lost your debit card, 236 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.600 didn't you like, like, you know, like almost wanted me to 237 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.559 lose it. I think, right, just because we're we're feuding about you 238 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.360 know, who loses more stuff. And I got defensive again. I was 239 00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:18.960 like, no, I know where it is. It's fight, do you 240 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.840 think that? And sure enough I knew I did not have it. So 241 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.480 I went back to the last place I bought a beer and said, is 242 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.320 there any chance that somebody left a debit card up here? And she said 243 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:31.559 the lady said what's your name? And I gave her my name and she 244 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.440 said, here you go. We were trying to yell at you whenever you 245 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.600 were walking away that you left it in the card reader, and I said, 246 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:41.879 yeah, I was probably just in my own world. But I got 247 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.279 it back. And my wife, unless she's listening as we speak, does 248 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.279 not know that I did in fact lose my I didn't have my pride got 249 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.080 in the way. I didn't have the heart to tell her that she was 250 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.399 in fact correct that I did lose my debit card once again. But that's 251 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.919 karma. I don't really believe in karma, like on a deep level, 252 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.200 but that's just that's what I get, right, Like me acting like, 253 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.759 oh no, I haven't lost it in forever, and then two days later 254 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.320 I lose it. Have you ever lost something that, like, you know, 255 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.639 was a big deal. I can't. I'm gonna guess no. I 256 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.240 mean other than personality. Yeah, the example I just mentioned when we were 257 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.600 on vacation, that's probably the close stuff come to losing something that was pretty 258 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:20.519 important and really could have gotten that back somehow. Yeah, like losing things, 259 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.080 I mean, what could you lose? That's really if something's really valuable, 260 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.639 it's either going to be what's in your wallet, your phone, your 261 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.279 car keys, things that you keep on your on your person. You know 262 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.320 this isn't this isn't really losing something. But whenever I worked at UPS, 263 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.559 I left my car unlocked frequently, and I was working the night shift, 264 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.320 and I don't know how long I'd been working there at this point, but 265 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.840 eventually somebody came around was you know, checking doors, and got to mind, 266 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.399 took my debit card, all the cash that may have been in my 267 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.720 wallet, took books out of my college you know, backpack that kind of 268 00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.159 stuff, and I just felt like an idiot, Like why did anybody? 269 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:06.360 Why would anybody leave a car door unlocked when you're working a third shift job 270 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.279 in downtown not really down, so you're mad at yourself. Yeah, that 271 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:14.720 was like the first really dumb thing probably ever did as a young adult. 272 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.759 At that point, I was probably eighteen or nineteen. Were you able to 273 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:19.879 get like everything back? I mean, obviously the money you couldn't get back, 274 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:22.919 but like, you know, what was the process like of getting I 275 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:23.879 mean, you get to get a new ID made, I'm sure, And 276 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:27.559 yeah, I remember they canceled my debit card send me a new one that 277 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.759 way, But at that age, at that age, I mean, clearly 278 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.120 it's a hassle and in an inconvenience, but you probably didn't have a ton 279 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.559 of stuff that was that much. Fun of the fact, like I could 280 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:40.639 see what the uh the person purchased with my debit card. The first place 281 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:44.159 they went was White Castle, So did they get like, did you call 282 00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:48.399 the cops? I remember going to the security people in the front of the 283 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:51.799 ups area and they like could file a report or something, but there wasn't 284 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:55.480 really anything they could actually do. They're not going to go track down my 285 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.559 phone or my debit card or any of that stuff. It's not that valuable 286 00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:03.039 to them. So I I've shared this story before, but I don't think 287 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:04.359 i've shared it on the air since you and I've worked together, and I 288 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:08.720 probably haven't shared it in a long long time. But I actually lost my 289 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:14.359 wallet when I was eighteen years old, but it was also stolen, so 290 00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:17.880 let me so I went to it's not there anymore, But there's a gas 291 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:21.480 station near where I grew up that used to have a subway attached to it. 292 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:25.839 And I was leaving my girlfriend at the time, my now wife. 293 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:29.440 I was leaving her house and I stopped at to get gas and I went 294 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.240 in to get a subway sandwich for dinner, and when I left, I 295 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:34.359 left my wallet on the counter, like right in front of where I was 296 00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:38.480 checking out, and I knew that I left it there, but I'd gotten 297 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:41.599 back home to where I was living at the time, turned around and you 298 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:44.200 know, came in there. It's a gas station. So they're up in 299 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:45.880 twenty four seven, and I was like, hey, anybody leave a wallet 300 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:47.359 in here, and they were like, oh, no, you know. 301 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.359 So I go to work the next day. At that time, I'm young, 302 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.319 I'm working like my first job. It's in the summer. I think 303 00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.640 it was the summer before I went away to school, and I was talking 304 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.240 to my boss at the time. My dad worked at the company, so 305 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.640 it was a guy that you know, I knew other than just working for 306 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:07.759 him. But I told him I'd lost my wallet and he was like, 307 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:11.079 well, hey, I'm sure because this is two thousand and six, so 308 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.079 therefore there's not a lot of like cameras weren't everywhere then, Like you could 309 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.000 have security cameras and all that, but it wasn't that common like for restaurants 310 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:19.880 to not have it. But he said, if it's a gas station, 311 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.400 they have they have. I mean, they can tell you they can go 312 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.880 back and tell you if you left your wallet there on the counter, it 313 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:26.599 would be right there. And I said, okay, great, So I 314 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.880 called him on my break and I said, hey, I was in there 315 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.680 last night. I'm just trying to find my wallet. Can anybody like check 316 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.079 and just check the camera to see if I left it on the counter. 317 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:41.599 And it was a young employee at the gas station who apparently was really eager 318 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:48.079 to help me out, thankfully, and he checked the security camera and I 319 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.559 didn't get a call back for like two days. So the next call that 320 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.240 I got was not from the store, It was from a It was from 321 00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.599 a detective and he said, hey, you know, this is such and 322 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:03.839 such with with the Louis Metro Police Department. They saw that the guy who 323 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:08.359 worked at Subway grabbed my wallet after I walked out. He walked out of 324 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:12.559 the back of the store and took out eighty dollars cash that I had and 325 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.960 threw my wallet in the dumpster. Well, they called the cops on him 326 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.960 and turned him in, so he was arrested. And you know, they 327 00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:23.359 told me that they were they were you know, that the stores was pressing 328 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:26.880 charges on him somehow, and that I would you know, they would be 329 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.880 in touch and they'd let me know, like you know you're gonna We'll let 330 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.440 you know, like there'll be restitution or whatever. So this is in two 331 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.279 thousand and six. At that time, I lived with my mom and my 332 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:45.119 stepdad, and I'm not kidding you. Nine ten years go by and I'm 333 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.920 at my other job before I was, right before I left my other job 334 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:51.799 that I had before I was able to do radio full time and work here 335 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.480 at iHeart, and I got a call from my stepdad, who you know. 336 00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.319 It was just like this is like a really you know, I'm not 337 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.319 surprised at all by this, knowing him in the relationship we have together. 338 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.680 But he could have I don't think most people would have done what he did, 339 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.400 but I'm glad he did. So I'm I'm grown now. I have 340 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.000 a child, Like it's been ten years. I live at like I'm grown 341 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:15.440 up. So he calls me at work and he was like, hey call 342 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.319 me. You know. He left me a voicemails like hey call me back, 343 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:18.920 it's pretty important. So I called him back. I was like, 344 00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.079 oh crap, what's going on. I'm worried something happened to my mother or 345 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:26.079 something like that, And he said, Hey, there's a detective that has 346 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.000 come to the house looking for you, like you okay? And I'm like, 347 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:33.039 yeah, like, no clue what in the world this could be about. 348 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:38.680 So he got a number and I called the guy and it was not 349 00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:42.759 the same guy from ten years ago, but the guy who got prosecuted for 350 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.200 stealing my you know, charged in you know, guilty of commune whatever level 351 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.599 of theft that is. He had a long, lengthy criminal history throughout like 352 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.839 his life. Post stealing my wallet, he'd gone to prison. He'd been 353 00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.920 in prison for like ten fifteen years or you know, ten to fifty year 354 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.640 sentence. He was still in prison at the time this happened, but he'd 355 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:10.160 worked off restitution eighty dollars and they were trying to figure out where to have 356 00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:15.160 an eighty dollars check mail to me because he'd paid off his restitution for stealing 357 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.599 my wallet. And to this day, I've still never received the eighty dollars. 358 00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:21.680 Crazy, isn't that wild? Wow? Yeah? But I mean I'm 359 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.920 thinking, i mean, I'm thinking to myself, why is there a detective 360 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:29.319 at my mom's house looking for me? That's not my legal address, but 361 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:32.599 that's the address they just had on file when they filled out the police report. 362 00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:37.119 So anyways, if anybody knows how I can track down that money, 363 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.720 which in fact this all made this might all make sense. Now there's like 364 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:44.480 these things you can go in and enter your information and figure out like if 365 00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:47.039 you're entitled like you like, if you're entitled to money that you never got 366 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:49.359 back because you overpaid in taxes or something. I was owed a certain amount 367 00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:52.559 of money and my buddy showed it to me, and I'm like, I 368 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:55.400 don't know what that could be for. Maybe it's my restitution because he stole 369 00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:56.960 my wallet. And it was more than just eighty bucks too, because it 370 00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.559 was for whatever it cost to get a new eye, d and all that 371 00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.680 stuff. But yeah, it took them a long time to really get that 372 00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:06.839 thing resolved. But I guess it's actually not resolved considering I still haven't been 373 00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:08.799 you know, paid. But anyways, quick break, we'll come back on 374 00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:12.200 the other side and keep this thing rolling along. It's coffee and company. 375 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:17.680 We are feel about Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven to ninety so in 376 00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:23.240 our conversation about losing things, my best friend Matt texted me and reminded me 377 00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:27.599 of something he lost that no offense pal, but that would be that'd be 378 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:32.160 tough. He lost his wife's wedding ring, that'd be a tough one. 379 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:36.160 Yeah. Yeah, it's hard to come back from. Yikes. It reminds 380 00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:41.119 me though, that I lost my wedding ring briefly. We both kind of 381 00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:44.839 did. So I don't have this problem now, but at one point, 382 00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:47.400 if I got into water, not like the shower, but like if I 383 00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:51.319 was in even in the pool, it could potentially happen. But the ocean, 384 00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:52.359 like if you lose your if you lose your ring in the ocean, 385 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:56.039 you're not gonna get it unless you're really, really lucky. So we were 386 00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.839 in Fort Lauderdale for a trip that we went on about, I guess about 387 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.920 nine years ago, and I took my wedding ring off on the beach where 388 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.759 we had our towels because I didn't want to lose it in the in the 389 00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:11.599 ocean, so I just wrapped it up in my T shirt, and uh, 390 00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:15.079 you know, it was probably a stupid thing to do because once we 391 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:17.319 got back and I picked up my T shirt, I forgot that my ring 392 00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:18.839 was in there, and it just kind of flew away in the wind and 393 00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:22.920 ended up in the sand somewhere. So we're like, you know, using 394 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.519 our hands trying to find it. My wife's telling me it's not a big 395 00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.160 deal like it. You know, we can get a new one. It'll 396 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.240 be fine, trust me. It's not something I you know. So I'm 397 00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:36.839 thinking, like, I can't lose my wedding ring like it would be It 398 00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:40.839 would be you know, it would be sad. So we're we're looking. 399 00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:42.359 She's trying to tell me just don't worry about it, and I won't. 400 00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:45.480 I won't hear that because I don't. I'm not gonna quit. I'm gonna 401 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.400 try to find it. So there were two couples near where we were at 402 00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:53.160 and they you know, saw us, you know, aggressive me, aggressively 403 00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.240 digging for something in the sand, and they were curious. And then once 404 00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:00.000 we told them like why we were doing that, they felt sad for me 405 00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:03.480 and just started helping. And sure enough, there's six of us just digging 406 00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:07.319 around in the area that the ring could have ended up, and one of 407 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.359 them found it. So and I still have it on my hand today. 408 00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:15.039 So what a story? Yeah, this is storytime here in the five o'clock 409 00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.359 hour. Good stuff, all right, real quick. I wanted to mention 410 00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:21.920 this earlier, but I didn't get around to it. So I love the 411 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:27.519 creativity that comes with fantasy football punishment. I think fantasy football has declined in 412 00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:33.160 popularity over the years because of sports gambling. I think people spend way more 413 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:38.279 time keeping up with their bets, player props, wagering in general than they 414 00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:42.359 do their fantasy football team. And I have a love hate with my fantasy 415 00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:47.240 football league. I'm probably the worst player in our league. I don't keep 416 00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.039 up with it like I should, and yet they still haven't kicked me out. 417 00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:52.839 And that's because I hope that they love me. They talk about things 418 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.519 that like are you know, it's normal back and forth about the league, 419 00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:57.920 and I don't even think it's like they're speaking a different language to me. 420 00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.920 So I don't, you know, I'm not somebody who, like, I'm 421 00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.160 not obsessed with it, and they aren't either, to be honest with you. 422 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:07.680 But like, I could never walk away from that league. I would 423 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:11.279 never not want it to happen, because you know, it's the boys, 424 00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:14.200 it's my lifelong friends. We have our draft every year, which is the 425 00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:17.599 best thing we do, and it keeps us communicating with one another. I 426 00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:19.720 mean, our group chat is never about fantasy football anymore. But it all 427 00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:22.599 started because it was guys that were in the fantasy football league with us. 428 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:27.559 So, you know, it's it's not what it once was. But I 429 00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:30.240 feel like because of what I just described, and I know there's many many 430 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.720 other dudes out there that are in a league that has a similar story like 431 00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:37.200 that, that's gonna make it to where I don't believe it'll ever go away, 432 00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:38.759 and I hope that that's the case. But what I love is the 433 00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:42.440 creativity for the losers, right. I don't remember the first story that went 434 00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:47.640 viral about a guy that lost his fantasy football league and had to, you 435 00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:49.960 know, really do something nobody would ever want to do for the punishment. 436 00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:56.599 You know, I've seen guys who had to go get like a professional ESPN 437 00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.079 the Body magazine shoot where they had to like be naked with like a football 438 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:06.640 covering their genitals and whatnot, and just super embarrassing. The waffle House challenge 439 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:07.640 was one. Do you remember that one where a guy had to sit in 440 00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:12.440 waffle house for twenty four hours and eat so many waffles. There's a lot 441 00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:17.519 of creativity out there. But this one, this one, I don't know 442 00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:19.839 how this guy didn't die. This is Joe Deleone, who, by the 443 00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:23.000 way, is a former college football player. He actually works for Yahoo Sports, 444 00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:29.079 but he posted this and has gone viral thirteen point two million views here 445 00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:30.720 on this tweet. But here's the tweet. It says, I finished in 446 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:33.720 last place in fantasy football, and tomorrow I have to do my punishment. 447 00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:37.640 I have to sit on I had to sit at a McDonald's for twenty four 448 00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:42.759 hours unless I can eat my way out of it. So here's the Uh, 449 00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:45.519 I don't know how. I don't know that. Yeah, there's the 450 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:52.119 let me try to find the thread here. But yeah, so time reduction. 451 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:53.920 So each time he eats a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit, it 452 00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:59.759 takes forty five minutes off. Each time he eats a big breakfast with hot 453 00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:03.079 cakes takes one hundred and twenty minutes off. That's two hours. So again, 454 00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:06.119 there's things you can eat that could get you through to take the time 455 00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:10.400 off of the twenty four So just to give you an example breakfast, I 456 00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:15.880 mentioned the bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. That's forty five minutes thee sausage, 457 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.000 egg and cheese McMuffin is forty five minutes. A little lighter breakfast the 458 00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:22.759 sausage McMuffin, it's thirty minutes. But on the breakfast. On the breakfast 459 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.480 side, the biggest you know, I mean, two hours can be taken 460 00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:29.480 off if you eat the big breakfast with the hotcakes, which of course is 461 00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:33.799 pancakes. On the burger items, you can get a double quarter pounder with 462 00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.839 cheese that takes off an hour. You can get a quarter pounder that'll take 463 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.880 off actually, let's see they have it cret. Yeah, you can get 464 00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.279 a quarter pounder or a big mac. Each of those takes forty five minutes 465 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.960 off. You can also get a double cheeseburger, which takes forty five minutes 466 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.640 off. On the chicken and fish sandwiches, all of them are the same 467 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.079 forty five minutes off for a MC crispy, a Deluxe Mix Crispy, Spicy 468 00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.680 mccrispy, filet of fish, MC chicken if you eat ten chicken nuggets takes 469 00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:03.160 thirty minutes off. So you can eat twenty chicken nuggets it'll take an hour 470 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:10.319 off. And then fries and side items thirty minutes off for every medium fry 471 00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:12.319 that you eat, you get an ice cream in a milkshake, it takes 472 00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:19.599 twenty five minutes off and that's it. So I mean I would be there 473 00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.839 for twenty four hours, wouldn't you. I mean, I mean, just 474 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:26.559 by hold on one second, yeah, I mean, John's getting about to 475 00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.519 throw up in there because he's just thinking about having to shove all this McDonald's 476 00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:33.000 down his throat at. I mean, i'd probably eat, you know, 477 00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.440 once for every meal, but that wouldn't be enough to really substantially take my 478 00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:40.759 time off. Of the McDonald's sentence, I'd probably shave off a couple of 479 00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:45.240 hours maybe, So he said he received a lot of consulting on this. 480 00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:48.200 So the goal is if he can eat twenty hash Browns, he can be 481 00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:52.960 out of there in less than ten hours. And I did later see because 482 00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:55.640 he was all over. He was on a bunch of shows, doing interviews, 483 00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:56.599 doing media hits, because of course, you know, this is a 484 00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.680 creative and clever way to punish. Sure, you're a loser of your fantasy 485 00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:07.559 football league. But he and I actually think hash Browns would be a good 486 00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.519 way to go, because anytime you eat a hash brown it's gonna take off 487 00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:14.880 twenty five minutes, and I can go through those things in three bytes, 488 00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:17.799 two bites. If I'm really you know, that's true, trying to just 489 00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:19.880 scarf him down, and it wouldn't be a race like I would. I 490 00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:23.759 would not inhale all this. If think, if you just gradually work your 491 00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:29.960 way up, you can maybe not get out of their asap. But instead 492 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:33.920 of being there for twenty four hours, you're there for you know, eight 493 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:37.359 or five. I don't know, but I don't, you know, I'm 494 00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:42.119 pretty simple with McDonald's, which, by the way, I like McDonald's like 495 00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:45.720 I don't. Sometimes it's become cool to like knock McDonald's, like, oh 496 00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:48.359 who eats that? I haven't had McDonald's in ten years. Well, okay, 497 00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:52.000 well enough people are eating it. They're doing pretty well. I don't 498 00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:53.799 try to eat McDonald's a lot, but like, I like McDonald's, but 499 00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:59.200 what I get there, Like I could put away two double cheeseburgers, and 500 00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:03.359 that would be let's see here, that would be is it on here? 501 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:07.319 Yeah, that would be me taking an hour and a half off, and 502 00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:10.119 at that point I couldn't eat much more. If I eat two double cheeseburgers 503 00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:14.279 in one sitting, So maybe I give it twenty minutes rest and then I'm 504 00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:18.039 doing it again. Like I wouldn't do well with this. But back to 505 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:22.359 the hash brown. He apparently had shared this on one of the shows he 506 00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:26.559 was on that it backfired because he bought a bunch of them at the same 507 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.920 time. He bought twenty of them at once. Well, they're not as 508 00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:34.880 easy to eat when they're clumpy and not hot and fresh and warm, you 509 00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:37.680 know what I'm saying. Like, yeah, like when it's hot and fresh, 510 00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.559 it's just like a greasy potato, right, But whenever you have had 511 00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.920 it sitting out for a while, it's a lot it's a lot tougher to 512 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:49.200 eat. So I would probably be there twenty four hours and just be miserable 513 00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.640 because I would have tried to eat my way out and I couldn't. I 514 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:55.759 wouldn't be able to do it. Wouldn't be able to do it. What's 515 00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:57.200 your go to? McDonald's. Do you have one go to? No? 516 00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:00.519 I don't know if I have a McDonald's go to. I used to like, 517 00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.039 I think this is a limited menu item. But when they did spicy 518 00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:06.359 nuggets, those are okay. And by the way they do, I think 519 00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:08.799 twenty nuggets could be like I don't remember what it said as far as how 520 00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:14.759 much that. Yeah, so if you get so if you get ten McNuggets, 521 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:18.039 it takes off thirty minutes. I could be wrong because I rarely, 522 00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:21.559 I raally get the mc nuggets. But I've had them before and they're fine. 523 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:23.759 But I feel like I could put those away pretty quickly because they're pretty 524 00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:26.880 small, Like ten wouldn't be a big deal. But then again, you 525 00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.000 know, I've never had ten, so maybe I'm totally wrong on that. 526 00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:33.200 But yeah, that chicken biscuits pretty fire too, but that probably doesn't take 527 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:37.640 off very much time. Yeah, I'm trying to find some of the fantasy 528 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.680 football some of the more Again, I've mentioned some of the I've mentioned some 529 00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.559 of the biggest punishments. The one where the guy had to sit at waffle 530 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:49.519 house was really creative because I mean, I feel like that was like the 531 00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:52.960 first time one of these things went viral because somebody was kind of live tweeting 532 00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:57.440 live tweeting as they were going through it, and like people were like, 533 00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:00.359 damn, I want to see is this guy a live Uh? This is 534 00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:04.759 a good rundown. Here this says, and this is this is interesting. 535 00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:08.839 Uh this apparently there's a guy in Indiana who had a league and the last 536 00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:15.279 place finisher had to endure a full body waxing session like pictures Steve Carell in 537 00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:20.640 forty year old version. That would be that'd be tough. Uh someone had 538 00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:27.440 to die their hair totally wacky color and that wouldn't be fun. Oh, 539 00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:30.839 this would be brutal. Oh man, Like you have to go to an 540 00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:35.079 open mic night at stand up comedy Oh no, oh god, I'm getting 541 00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:38.000 like I'm cringing even like thinking about it. Oh man, that would be 542 00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:40.920 bad. That may be the worst I can especially if you're not funny, 543 00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:45.079 Like, that would be the worst I can I could I can think of. 544 00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:50.440 Uh, somebody had to serve as the league winners butler for a weekend. 545 00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:52.839 That could That would be brutal. But then again, I think you 546 00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:57.720 know, uh, they if it's your friend, they probably wouldn't be you 547 00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:00.960 know, it wouldn't be too hard on you. But yeah, having to 548 00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:05.079 go to do an open mic night at a comedy club as somebody who you 549 00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:07.839 know doesn't do comedy, that would be like I would just say sorry, 550 00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:09.799 guys, you can kick me out of the league. I'm not doing it. 551 00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:14.440 That's not my thing. All right, quick break, we'll come back 552 00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:15.960 on the other side. We may talk sports at some point. I'm not 553 00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:20.759 sure. I'm not going to promise anything, but stick around. Who knows, 554 00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:23.920 maybe we'll surprise you right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. All right, 555 00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:27.079 so not much time left here before we have to say goodbye. I 556 00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:30.079 guess I'll give you another reminder that I'll be gone for the next few days, 557 00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:32.400 but you'll be in good hands. Big thanks to those who always find 558 00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:36.799 a way to make it work and fill in when I'm out. Tony Veneddie, 559 00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:40.000 Dave Jennings tomorrow and then Scott Fitzgerald'll be in the saddle here from Thursday 560 00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:43.720 and Friday, I believe. So you know you're gonna be in good hands, 561 00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:45.440 no doubt. Speaking of being in good hands, that's what you're gonna 562 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:50.200 be in when it comes to buying or selling a home, maybe doing both 563 00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:53.279 with Edlin and Edlin. Go to Edland dot com, E D E L 564 00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:55.599 e N dot com. Give them a call. They'll be looking forward to 565 00:33:55.640 --> 00:34:00.000 hearing from your five OO two five nine nine twenty eight hundred is the number, 566 00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:05.039 and they have been in they've been in this market Kentucky, and I 567 00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:10.519 should say doing this meaning everything you need throughout the process of buying and selling 568 00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:14.320 a home. They're a full service residential real estate brokerage, right, and 569 00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:17.159 there's a lot that goes into the whole process of buying and selling a home, 570 00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:20.760 and obviously there's things that you're going to need to be a part of, 571 00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:23.039 right because they know they can't sign the mortgage right, but they're going 572 00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:27.119 to make it as convenient as possible. It's going to feel like a breeze 573 00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:30.880 probably compared to anybody else you've used any other time you've been through this process. 574 00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:32.239 So they're also going to help you save money, and that is where 575 00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:36.639 I feel like they really really show their value. Again. They're valuable in 576 00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:37.760 a lot of ways, but when you can help people save a lot of 577 00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:40.360 their hard earned money, that's something they're going to remember, and that's how 578 00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:45.800 you stay in business with such a great reputation since nineteen seventy six. So 579 00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:50.199 they will list your home for just one percent, and they also have a 580 00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:53.840 one percent buyer's rebate, So by doing that, they are keeping a lot 581 00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:57.480 of your hard earned dollars in your pocket. And I think we all know 582 00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:00.920 if you've ever been in this position moving, you know, outside of just 583 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:06.159 the cost of what you have to maybe put down on the home, or 584 00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:08.840 you know, the actual price of the home, or paying somebody to help 585 00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:12.960 you move, there's all kinds of other things that add up. And if 586 00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:15.599 you if you're able to keep a lot of your money in your pocket, 587 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:17.199 you could end up, you know, in your mind, having a price 588 00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:22.639 that you think is going to cost for the overall situation, and it turns 589 00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:24.239 out, you know, it's not even close to that because of what they 590 00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:29.239 do. Again, one percent buyer's rebate, also a one percent listing on 591 00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:31.719 your home. Can't beat it. So again, Eland dot com E D 592 00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:35.440 E L E N dot com is the website. Five O two five nine 593 00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:37.800 nine twenty eight hundred is a number. Give them a call, check them 594 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:40.599 out. I think you'll be happy. You'll be happy that you did all 595 00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:45.159 right, So, you know, very little time left here before we, 596 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:49.039 you know, say goodbye. And I didn't want to get to this earlier 597 00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:51.119 and I don't have as much time as I planned on it. But this 598 00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:54.159 is what I think you're going to start to see across college basketball in these 599 00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:58.159 MTE events, which for those who don't know what it is, it's the 600 00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:01.840 multi team events, the no late November early December type of tournaments that you 601 00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:05.960 see like the Battle Fortlantis, those kind of events. And you're also gonna 602 00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:08.719 see it in college football bowl games, and that is NIL being up for 603 00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:14.639 grabs, and that will incentivize I mean, that's probably gonna incentivize guys to 604 00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:16.519 play in bowl games that typically wouldn't because they can make some money. But 605 00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:21.079 also I think you're gonna see in basketball. I mean that's not I mean, 606 00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:23.599 guys don't opt out of those games. But I think it's just another 607 00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:30.079 reason why someone may decide to stay in college rather than going pro overseas because 608 00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:35.119 maybe their NIL situation is decent. But this, you know this, uh, 609 00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:38.920 it's called the what's it called here? The Players Yeah, the players 610 00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:43.559 era A tournament is the Vegas Tournament next year in college basketball. First of 611 00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:47.800 it's kind to where every team participating is going to share a million dollars each 612 00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:53.159 among you know the team, and the winning team will get another one million 613 00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:55.599 dollars to share. And that it's going I mean, you're gonna see. 614 00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:59.480 I think you're gonna see teams lining up to participate in this PIAU. It's 615 00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:01.719 gonna help us recruiting tool. And also you're gonna see more of these events 616 00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:07.119 pop up because it's it's I mean, you need to pay ANIL to keep 617 00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:08.960 these guys around and last that check. That's that's whatever. I mean, 618 00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:15.480 that's it's helping. No sport has benefited from I think viewership and entertainment from 619 00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:19.320 the portal than college basketball and inn IL as well. So I mean, 620 00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:22.320 maybe others disagree, but viewership is up, better, players are staying in 621 00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:25.159 college longer, and I don't know about you, but I think that's good 622 00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:29.039 for the game. All Right, we're out of here. Enjoy the rest 623 00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:31.039 of your week and I'll talk to you on Monday. See you, guys,
