00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:08.720
It's time for coffee and company,
fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven nine

2
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:36.640
day. Now, here's Nick coffee. All right, let's get it started.

3
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.320
It is the five o'clock hour here
on a Friday. It's Friday to

4
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.640
me, Friday to a lot of
people. If not, I apologize because

5
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.640
if everybody else is celebrating a Friday
and it's not a Friday to you,

6
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:50.719
then you know that would be unfortunate. But I can't help it. We're

7
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.079
getting out of here for a four
day weekend to celebrate Fourth of July,

8
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:58.840
and I'm excited. I gotta find
a good way to, uh to describe

9
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.399
being excited for the weekend without it
sounding like I just want to leave the

10
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.280
show now, because it's probably not
a good thing for listeners to get the

11
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:07.599
impression that, like, I don't
want to be doing this, you know

12
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.280
what I mean? Yeah, I
know what you're saying, but you get

13
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.239
it right, you know, I
mean everybody wants to relax. Yeah,

14
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.480
I mean I wouldn't say this year. I would do this show twenty four

15
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:17.920
hours a day if they let me, but they they don't let me do

16
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:19.680
that, so you know, only
get three hours and you know i'd work

17
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.560
holidays too, but they don't.
They don't allow it. In fact,

18
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.840
I didn't push it, but if
I didn't want to, taked like,

19
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:32.959
do you think there's anybody within our
Is there anybody within our department? Like

20
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.480
on air that that is not because
it's a I do think there is one,

21
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.120
and it's I think it's Tony Cruz. Really, I'm almost positive Tony

22
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.519
Cruise is coming on Friday. But
that's a very Tony Cruise thing to do.

23
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.799
Yeah, well, hope, like
but Scott like wouldn't like Scott's okay

24
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.359
though, right like Scott? Oh
yeah, right, if I remember right,

25
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.040
And this is obviously the listeners do
not care about this. But I

26
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:53.640
think they have a part time or
coming in to fill it for Scott on

27
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.879
Friday. Well, because I initially
when I was thinking about, like,

28
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:00.719
or do I want to earn a
comp day? You know, because my

29
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:06.040
wife actually has to work. She
works in the financial world, you know,

30
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.319
for a bank, credit union type
place, and they're not closed on

31
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:13.680
Friday, so you know she's gonna
she's gonna work, not she's not taken

32
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.800
a day. So I initially thought, well, if that's the case,

33
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.360
then I'll just work too. But
then I thought, no, I mean,

34
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.800
like that would be such a I
mean to come in at three o'clock,

35
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.759
like in the midst of what you
know everybody else is likely doing,

36
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.800
which is a four day week,
and would just feel weird. And you

37
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:30.840
know, clearly they would have let
you take your comp day, but they

38
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.439
would have they probably would have struggled
to find somebody to come in and fill

39
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.439
in for me, to be honest
with you, because again for most people,

40
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:39.199
like it's it's tough enough to get
people who do this on a part

41
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:44.240
time level to you know, have
the time and ability and eat an interest

42
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:49.159
in coming in on certain days.
But you know, doing it when everybody

43
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.479
else is on holiday, it seems
even you know, less intriguing, I

44
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:54.240
would assume. And it's not.
It's not like, you know, it's

45
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.240
not an actual holiday, so therefore
like you're not paid extra or anything like

46
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.439
that, and they see another thing. If we were in the of like

47
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:02.120
basketball season or something, Oh yeah, there'd be a lot more to talk

48
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:06.240
about in that regard. And that's
why you know, there are there have

49
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.039
been some holidays and now that I'm
older and I do enjoy you know,

50
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:13.719
if my family's off because there's a
holiday that's observed even if sports is going

51
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.840
on. Like there's exceptions to where, you know, like for example,

52
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.199
sometimes you know, bowl games are
played on New Year's and sometimes bowl games

53
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.439
are played, I think even on
Christmas Eve. There's a bowl game every

54
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:24.439
now and then, if I had
to work into a post game show,

55
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.560
like that's just that's that's what I
have to do. That's my job.

56
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.560
But you know, if there's you
know, if there's a like for example,

57
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:38.280
I always feel bad whenever we're off
the Monday after the first college football

58
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.960
weekend that holiday weekend, oh yeah, Labor Day, because you know,

59
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.960
there's so much to react to,
and you know, it's not a day

60
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.000
to where like I want to be
off, to be honest with you,

61
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.639
but nobody else is working because it's
literally a national holiday to where it's like

62
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.360
you know what, like it's probably
I finally just accepted because I used to

63
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.360
ask like, hey, could you
get somebody to come in part time,

64
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:00.400
like or some can you get somebody
that's a backup to come in and produce

65
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.000
because I want to be on the
air, And they were like, no,

66
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.000
you can't do that, Like the
company is like I wouldn't be allowed

67
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:10.639
to let you work. It's it's
like it's not a holiday that on air.

68
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.680
People get to choose if they want
to take it, and everybody else

69
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.160
does. It's everybody's off. So
yeah, anyways, we're off on Thursday

70
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:21.560
and Friday. So if you're going
to be continuing your normal routine because you

71
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.920
know you don't have the you know, you're not able to be off work

72
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.519
because maybe your first responder. There's
a lot of jobs doctors, nurses,

73
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.600
I mean people, there's there are
people who have a career that and there's

74
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.920
all consent of careers. Actually,
if you think about it, that swing

75
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:40.920
shifters. Yeah, they don't follow. Uh they don't follow the the holiday

76
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.879
calendar because they can't because of what
they do. It's that important to where

77
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.040
regardless they're going to be needed.
Probably, So I hate that that's the

78
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.480
case, but you know it makes
sense. And if that's you know,

79
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.920
if that's the career you chose as
a first responder, you know somebody in

80
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.759
the medical field, then that means
you're selfless and you want to help people.

81
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.839
So shout out to you, all
right, Uh, I didn't expect

82
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:05.600
to get here at five o'clock.
But at the end of the four o'clock

83
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.560
hour, and if I want to
lay this out, because to just jump

84
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:11.720
right back into it, people would
be like, what the hell you doing?

85
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.839
People probably ask that question all the
time on the show. But John

86
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.720
played a Billy Ray Cyrus song as
we were ending the four o'clock hour.

87
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.120
What was What was the name of
the song? Yeah, I wasn't familiar

88
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:25.040
with it, but it's called Some
Gave All and it's a big Billy Ray

89
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.879
hit. And I people coming after
me on the text line for not knowing

90
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:30.319
that song. Yeah, so it's
it's justified. I didn't. I didn't

91
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.040
recognize it. I didn't know it, but it is one of his,

92
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.519
you know, his well known songs, and we've been playing we've been playing

93
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:40.759
patriotic music throughout the show today because
we've got you know, fourth of July

94
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.879
tomar It makes total sense, and
we were talking about Billy Ray Cyrus and

95
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.399
how you know he's actually had some
good songs like the one John played,

96
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:54.199
But anybody my age or older will
always remember him for Achy Breaky Heart.

97
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.720
Now there are some people that will, Honestly, I would be willing to

98
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.000
bet that you probably although you know
the song ake You Break he Heart,

99
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.240
Like, if you heard it,
you probably think of him as Miley Cyrus's

100
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.319
dad, don't you know that's definitely
the first thing I think of. Yeah,

101
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.800
yes, for me, it's not
it. I mean, I know

102
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.040
that that's his dad, or that
that he's her dad, but it's just

103
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:13.920
not something it would have been the
first thing that came to mind for me.

104
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:19.439
And he also was in the song
with with uh of Old Town Road,

105
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:25.199
which became you know, that's what
the remember him from because I knew

106
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.000
how the story, like how the
song came about. Like I never felt

107
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:30.920
like, oh my goodness, this
song is great, but like now when

108
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.920
I hear it, I'm like,
this ain't bad. A lot of songs

109
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.560
like that that are very memorable.
If they're big hits, they they kind

110
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:41.959
of become cult classics down the road
by people who didn't like them to begin

111
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.319
with, no doubt. So anyways, I shared with John a story that

112
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:46.160
he was unaware of it, and
a lot of you may not have known

113
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:50.600
this either, But the reason Billy
Ray, Cyrus and Little nas X connected

114
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:56.079
and collaborated is because Billy Ray expressed
to him that he went through the same

115
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.680
thing. Whenever he was breaking into
the country music world and he became a

116
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.279
big are. There were a lot
of country music artists that said, this

117
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:08.600
isn't country, this is nonsense.
Get this mullet achy, breaky heart guy

118
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:13.360
out of here and Lil nas X
that song went viral, ended up being

119
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.720
played on radio and country music whatever
it is. I'm not sure if there's

120
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:20.319
like a I don't know who controls
what is technically considered to be a part

121
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.759
of the country music genre. But
Lil nas X was told he's not going

122
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.360
to be part of country because they
didn't see this country. So Billy Ray's

123
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.079
like, hey man, let me
help you out. Like we'll get in

124
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.600
the studio and I'll jump on the
song, which I mean Little nas X

125
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.160
might not even know who that was. But anyways, it became a big

126
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.240
hit, and he said, you
know, they've gone through the same thing,

127
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.040
and I shared the story about when
that happened. You know, there

128
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:46.480
were musicians Travis Tritt, being at
least one of the most vocal that you

129
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.800
know, did not like that country
music was like welcoming in Billy Ray.

130
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:55.839
He was nominated for awards and when
he won in nineteen ninety three, the

131
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:01.000
AMA for Country Music Single of the
Year. Uh, he took the took

132
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.800
to the podium excepted the award Billy
Ray Cyrus did and took a shot at

133
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.399
Travis Tridd And here it is.
To those people who don't like ache and

134
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:15.439
break your heart, here's a quarter
cuts someone who tears crowd erupted. You

135
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:16.959
hear that? I love? Yeah, who knew that there was like,

136
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.480
you know, country music beef like
you see in you know, in hip

137
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:26.439
hop. So anyways, let's let's
be more serious now and talk about the

138
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.120
hard hitting sports stories that you all
came here to, uh to hear about.

139
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.320
In all honesty, there's nothing and
I mean nothing going on that that

140
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.440
I certainly care about. I know, Baseball's going on, and we've got

141
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.600
the Hot Dog any competition tomorrow that
has lost its luster because they they booted

142
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.440
Joey Jaws from the from from the
event, not gonna let Joey Chess not

143
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:50.480
participate. So I think there's gonna
be even less interest in viewership in that

144
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.960
because of that. But then again, like maybe I don't know, maybe

145
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:58.080
somebody emerges and like puts up Joey
Chestnut type numbers, you know, and

146
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.840
they become like the you know,
the where a parent. Yeah, and

147
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.080
I was gonna say, maybe like
the torch has been passed, but like

148
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:07.799
it didn't really happen. Like he
got kicked out for promoting a vegan hot

149
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.759
dog company. That's what really led
to it. But hey, it could

150
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.000
be to where maybe they realize,
hey, we'll let this guy back in

151
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.600
because he thinks he runs and dominates
this sport. And yet we got a

152
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.960
new guy that we think can take
him down, so we'll bring him back

153
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.360
in to get his ass whooped.
Unlikely to happen, considering the fact that

154
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.000
like nobody comes close to competing with
Joey chestnutt. So again, we've been

155
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.559
all over the place today. That's
not that unusual for this show, but

156
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:39.480
today I feel like it's definitely more
so than usual. But some of you

157
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:46.279
have asked if I know who the
late addition to the to the TBT Louisville

158
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.519
team is, and I don't know. I have no clue. And I

159
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.759
mean that like I mean, they
wouldn't tell me that, but it could

160
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:58.080
be a variety of guys. So
they they've teased a new member joining the

161
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.440
roster at some point and just to
be clear. I tweeted a picture of

162
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.559
Gorgy Jang as I don't think and
I'm quite sure it's not Gorky Jang,

163
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.480
but he'd be awesome if it was. Because I love Gorgy Jang. He

164
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.679
was my favorite. He's my I
mean, he was probably my favorite,

165
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.000
and it's hard to pick a favorite, but like I love, I was

166
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.279
a fan of Gorgy differently than I
was anywhere else because I just thought Gorky

167
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:28.200
was so innocent, wholesome, like
he didn't really know the rules of basketball

168
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.039
whenever he came, whenever he got
to Louisville, and he's just great.

169
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:33.399
I've ever told you a story about
my Dennis asking me about Gorgy Jang.

170
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.440
I don't think so. I'll share
that in a second. But to answer

171
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.360
the question on the text, I
don't know who it is. It could

172
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.799
be David Johnson. If I had
to guess, I would say it's David

173
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.000
Johnson. But I'm only saying that
because David wanted to play last year,

174
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.799
but something kept him from being able
to. I think it might have been

175
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:48.879
advice from his agent. It wasn't
a contract situation, but I think he

176
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.919
still felt pretty good about being able
to latch onto an NBA team. And

177
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:58.159
since I've talked about this recently,
I chatted with somebody who is affiliated with

178
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.639
the TVT that said that they've they've
learned throughout this that if you are you

179
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.639
know, it's so competitive to get
a job in the NBA, right,

180
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.440
and you've got so many guys that
are kind of all the same, right,

181
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:15.000
I mean, dom a dozen.
It's crazy to say that considering that

182
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.759
if you are somebody that's even like
remotely being considered to be in the NBA

183
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.120
on a roster, you are one
of the very best basketball players on the

184
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.960
planet when you consider how many people
we have here on planet Earth. But

185
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.559
anyways, this guy who works with
the TBT told me that they they they

186
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.600
believe and they've had people tell them
that if you play in this event,

187
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.519
the NBA kind of just assumes that
that you're you're you're out of gas essentially,

188
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:39.080
and that you're kind of prop me, And that makes sense. I

189
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.840
don't think they should look at it
that way, but like I get why

190
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.440
they do if that makes sense,
right, because if you are on a

191
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.279
high level euro contract, you're probably
not able, your your team's not gonna

192
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.200
let you play because they're gonna to
be fair, you are an asset of

193
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.080
their of their team, and you
know, if you go out and get

194
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.600
hurt, like you know, in
fact, if you if you did,

195
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.960
if you didn't have a stipulation in
your contract and you chose to play and

196
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:03.080
you got hurt, then they would
cut you and not pay you any money.

197
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.759
So you know, I would guess
it's David, But that's just that's

198
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:13.440
just just an absolute guess. Earl
Clark potentially, or Clark is somebody who,

199
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:18.440
if you remember last year, was
on the team and I think he

200
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.399
actually even did a press conference with
the media to kind of promote it like

201
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.360
a lot of these guys have done. And then he found out that his

202
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:30.000
contract I think it was with I
believe it was with is in Japan.

203
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.080
I think he ended ohays, yeah
it was, it was in Japan.

204
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.600
Either way, he was he was
on a contract overseas and ended up ended

205
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:39.960
up not being able to play.
They they, they, I guess,

206
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.600
you know, reminded him, hey, you will violate your contract if you

207
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.200
don't play, And to be fair, you know, at that point Earl

208
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.840
would be playing for a share of
a million dollars and I don't know what

209
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:50.399
his cut would be, and that
would be a lot of money I wo'd

210
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.799
assume to to to anybody. But
playing in in you know, Taiwan,

211
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.440
he he has a guaranteed deal that
pays him a lot more than he would

212
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.440
probably make from a share of that. So you know, that's that's where

213
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.200
these guys got to make that decision. You know, what do they want

214
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.440
to do? So maybe it's Earl. I don't know. I didn't see

215
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.480
I mean again, I'm just guessing
here. So what makes this fun,

216
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.279
though, is no matter who it
is, it's going to be somebody that

217
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.240
Louisville fans are excited about because it's
a former player that you know, is

218
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.200
joining a bunch of other former players
that for the most part, I wouldn't

219
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.279
say they're all fan favorites, but
you know, I think they're all.

220
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.440
I mean, some of them are
beloved. I mean you could talk about

221
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.720
I mean, let's be real,
Peyton Siva and Russ Smith are two of

222
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.240
the most beloved Louisville basketball players of
all time, certainly in my lifetime.

223
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.759
So I don't know who it is, but I'm as excited to find out

224
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:45.639
as you guys are. All Right, So Anyways, years ago, this

225
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.919
is probably like two thousand and twelve, maybe twenty eleven, I was at

226
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:54.320
the dentist and it was right around
the time that I got my first chance

227
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.879
to host radio, and I was
I was doing a couple of days a

228
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.200
week in the in the evenings on
a on a station here in the market,

229
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:07.240
smaller station, and my wife goes
to the same dentist, and I

230
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.120
think she had told them, uh
you know, she told them about it,

231
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.919
and she's proud of her husband.
Who was you know, it was,

232
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.559
it was, it was. It
was a big deal to me then

233
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.840
and it's still awesome to be able
to do this now. But you know,

234
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:24.519
whenever they're working on your teeth,
I mean maybe maybe they realize you

235
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.440
can't talk to them like you got
you got your fist in my mouth,

236
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.600
brother, We can't have a conversation. They ask questions, and you know,

237
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.200
even the people who are the assistants, what do you call them assistance

238
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.000
they're always super sweet, you know, even any of the ones that I

239
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.440
you know, the dinnists that I've
gone to orthodontist as well, but you

240
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.759
know, they always want to be
you know, and some of them know

241
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.399
that, like Hey, the conversation
we're having here, you know, you

242
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.919
don't have to give me much back, but I'm just gonna I'm just going

243
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.360
to kind of speak to you just
to be friendly enough, but I'm going

244
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:54.840
to be aware that, you know, we can't really have a back and

245
00:14:54.840 --> 00:15:00.200
forth here because again, you have
your fingers in my mouth and sometimes she

246
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:01.279
got those like clamps on your teeth, you know, like you know,

247
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.039
yeah, So my dentist, do
you think he'd know he was? You

248
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:07.799
know, he was he'd been doing
it a while. I mean, he's

249
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.279
a dentist and he's asked me the
conversations expecting an answer, and I don't.

250
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.799
I mean, and he asked me, you know, he had no

251
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.039
He's like, I have no interest
in sports. What's your favorite sport?

252
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.759
I was like, I'd say basketball. I was like, well, that's

253
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.039
good. You know Louisville. I'm
kind of I'm kind of new to Louisville,

254
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.240
but I know they've got a great
basketball team. I was like,

255
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.039
yeah, it's like, who's your
favorite player? And it was like the

256
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.639
first time as an adult somebody asked
me who my favorite player was. He

257
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.360
asked me, like I was like, I was a little kid who just

258
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.320
figured out who just like just started
liking sports, Like John, you're an

259
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.639
adult, what's lest somebody asked you
who your favorite player was. That's a

260
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.639
good question. It's usually for kids, right it is. So I'm sitting

261
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:50.960
there like kind of surprised one that
he asked the question, and surprised that,

262
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.559
you know, I'd never really realized
that that's not a common question for

263
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.799
you know, an adult, and
then also being surprised that my dentist is

264
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:00.840
wanting to have a conversation when I'm
like really worried that, like you know,

265
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.039
I'm scared of death of the dentist, and I'm always worried in panicking

266
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.759
the whole time. They're they're,
they're, they're doing whatever they're doing.

267
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:08.919
And then I'm thinking, like,
you know, is he gonna get caught

268
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.480
up in the conversation, you know, yank or the wrong tooth out or

269
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.679
something. I don't know. Uh
So then I thought about it, and

270
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:18.200
I said gorgy Zang and you know, imagine saying gorky zhang with something,

271
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.159
and like, you know, he
couldn't he didn't know what I was saying,

272
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:23.279
So, you know, he never
I don't think he ever heard the

273
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.120
name that I had said, uh, and then it just it was always

274
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:29.320
weird to me, Like for a
while, I would think of when I

275
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.559
thought of Gorgy Jang, I would
think about that awkward encounter with my uncomfortable

276
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:34.480
So that's one of those things.
I feel like, if you wanted,

277
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:37.240
if you had to redo that scenario, you could have easily just thought of

278
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.039
whoever the easiest name to say is
on the roster that you know, I

279
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:42.240
could have said Michael Jordan. I'm
not sure my dentist would have known.

280
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:48.000
I mean I could have. But
yes, Gorgy was. He was man.

281
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.759
He was rare. Not only was
he a good player that you got

282
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.159
to see for three years really just
develop and and and become a really good

283
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.159
player, become an NBA first round
draft pick, help you win a national

284
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.159
championship. I don't need to sell
you on his credentials if you're a Louis

285
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:07.319
a basketball fan. But Gorge was
so innocent is the word I want to

286
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:10.359
use, But I'm not sure if
it's the if it's the right word to

287
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:15.119
use. But you know, he
he ended up in America playing at Huntington

288
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.839
Prep and had never I mean,
he was a soccer player, even played

289
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:23.039
basketball competitively until you know, right
around the time he was probably sixteen years

290
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:29.839
old. So he ends up coming
over to Huntington Prep. Louisville's recruiting Justin

291
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:33.640
what's his name, I can't think
of his name. I want to say

292
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.160
Justin Ewards, but that's not it. Justin Coleman. He was a five

293
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.920
star recruit. Justin Coleman was at
Huntington Prep and Rick Patino landed him.

294
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.799
And I still believe, I can't
prove it. I still believe Rick Patino

295
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:52.039
took the commitment from five star wing
Justin Coleman not because he you know,

296
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.000
I mean, not just because he
was good, but because he wanted for

297
00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.880
people to stop talking about how Cali
Perry got to town in one year.

298
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:04.359
With John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins,
Eric Bledsoe, had put together a class

299
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.200
that, like, you know,
I mean, Rick never got five star

300
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.519
guys consistently. I mean, I
guess he did occasionally, Smarto or a

301
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:14.480
Clark those guys, But you know, there was a lot of noise because

302
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:17.480
cal Perry comes in and they're great
right out of the gate. Louisville's coming

303
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:18.839
off, I mean, Louis's going
through kind of a rebuilding year because the

304
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:25.200
first year of CAL was the first
year Louisville was without t Will and Earl

305
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:30.920
Clark and those guys. So I
don't believe Rick ever thought Coleman was going

306
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.920
to qualify because he was a five
star kid, top twenty, and his

307
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:41.160
offers were like literally nobody. I
mean, the offers that he did have

308
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:44.799
that were committable offers were small school
like, smaller like, not like mid

309
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:48.279
majors. And usually you know what
that means. Their coaches aren't investing time

310
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.960
and effort in recruiting a kid because
they know it's going to be waste because

311
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:55.720
they see no chance, no scenario
that a kid's gonna academically qualify. And

312
00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:57.640
that's exactly what happened with Coleman.
He ended up not qualifying. I think

313
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:00.799
he went JUCO. Then he ended
up at Marshall for a year before he

314
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:04.640
ended up getting booted off the team. But because they were looking at Justin

315
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:07.680
Coleman, they saw Gorgi Jang,
who was his teammate there at Huntington Prep,

316
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:11.640
and Gorgey was looked at as a
project. Was not a big time

317
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:14.319
recruit as far as rankings, although
the final rankings. He did get a

318
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:17.640
big bump or he jumped up to
be a four star. But you know,

319
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.960
then he got here and he was
ruled academically ineligible. I think people

320
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:26.440
forget that Gorgey was ruled academically academically
ineligible and there was like no sign for

321
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:27.240
sure, like it was just done, like he was not going to be

322
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:33.359
eligible to play. And he ended
up winning an appeal. But the nc

323
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.839
doua a deed, you know,
they they said that they cannot verify that

324
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:45.039
the curriculum that gorgye Jang took in
in Senegal where he's from, was up

325
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:49.359
to par with the American you know, with with the you know, they

326
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.279
didn't understand his transcript. They didn't
know if it was legit or not.

327
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:57.000
So they said, no, we
can't, this doesn't pass. We have

328
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:02.279
some suspicion about the actual course where
he took in high school. Well,

329
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.359
Louisville appealed it and felt really good
about it because gorge Jang, I think,

330
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:10.839
spoke six languages and got a perfect
score on one of the tests act

331
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.200
or SAT. I mean, he
didn't really speak any English whenever he got

332
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:17.960
here. It was very broken in
Then by the end you know, he

333
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:22.160
was, you know, much better
at speaking English. So you know,

334
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:26.240
then he gets to Louisville and he
didn't really know how to play. I

335
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:29.279
mean, it's all new to him. I'll never forget it. As as

336
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:33.480
a freshman in an exhibition game,
he fouled out and he wouldn't come off

337
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.039
the floor. I mean he was
like, no, I don't. He

338
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.200
walked over to the scores table,
like telling them, you're wrong. There's

339
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:44.400
no I did not foul out.
There's no way I have five fouls because

340
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:47.680
when you play basketball internationally, offensive
fowls don't count towards it. He did

341
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.480
not know that if you if you
foul somebody, you know, if you

342
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:53.039
foul somebody, when when you're on
offense, it doesn't you know that it

343
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:57.200
counts In America, it counts towards
your total fouls, and you'll be you

344
00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:02.599
know, and you have to sit
down. And I remember I remember Rick

345
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:07.559
Bertino realizing that and almost kind of
like like, I mean, he kind

346
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.160
of put in he really put into
perspective sort of what he's dealing with,

347
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:14.000
this guy who's learning and he's like
a sponge soaking it all up. But

348
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:18.599
like all this is new to him, and then he became very good friends

349
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:23.319
with Elijah Justice, the former mister
Basketball from Pikeville, Kentucky, the five

350
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:29.559
to nine white kid who they called
Bullet and talk about two guys from different

351
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:36.640
sides of the world and different culturally, and the story goes that in practice

352
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.599
they were doing kind of like not
an open run, but you know,

353
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:44.400
just kind of like they had starters
versus reserves, whatever it may be,

354
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:47.839
and they were competing in Bullet,
who you know, was a walk on.

355
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:49.160
But then they gave him a scholarship
because it was one available, because

356
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:56.400
I think it was when Smarto ended
up going pro and gorge would be near

357
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:00.519
five. I mean, this guy's
more than a foot taller than Elijah Justice

358
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:04.759
Gorgy is, and he would be
in a great spot to block a shot.

359
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:07.559
Gorgey's one of the best shot blockers
we've ever had here, but he

360
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.759
wouldn't block a shot. So finally, like Rick Pertino like put a stop

361
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:14.480
to him, was like, what
are you doing? Like how is he

362
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:15.839
scoring? It will on you.
I don't know what exactly what he said,

363
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:21.039
but Gorgy responded with he's my friend, and I mean like that like

364
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:25.079
that's that's that's wild. Of old. I love Gorgey's jang you won't and

365
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:30.039
look people not having that same story
in that you know that that path that's

366
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:34.079
normal, but like that's rare to
see it at any point, I feel

367
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:37.720
like, especially this day and age, right, Like usually if you or

368
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.200
somebody who comes from across comes from
another country and you end up at a

369
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:45.559
prep school, you know, like
you end up you know, probably still

370
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:48.400
having a lot to get used to
and get acclimated. Like gorge there was

371
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.799
a wholesome component that I that I
loved about Gorgs. And now he's apparently

372
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.400
working in the front office with the
Spurs. I don't know if you guys

373
00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:57.119
saw that on the draft night he
was in the war room with the San

374
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:00.920
Antonio Spurs. All right, we
got to stick around. We'll finish this

375
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.039
thing up here in the next thirty
minutes and get out here for the weekend.

376
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:08.799
You know that's on a T shirt
somewhere in the South. I pledge

377
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:11.960
allegiance to this flag. And if
that bothers you, that's too bad.

378
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:18.200
That's the motto I live life by
John Oh. Yeah, wouldn't doubt it.

379
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.359
For as god, Aaron Tipping is
so awesome. I wanted to ask

380
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:25.319
you this earlier when you were talking
about Billy Ray with the mullet. Was

381
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:29.200
he the first one to kind of
do the mullet country singer thing. Uh,

382
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:33.160
it's a good question. I mean, I think what made Billy Ray,

383
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.319
I mean, the mullet was around. I mean the mullet the early

384
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.000
nineties, which Billy Ray won that
award ninety three we talked about earlier.

385
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:45.279
You know, that was there were
a lot of kids my age that had

386
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:48.119
the mullet, not by choice,
but it was the new thing. And

387
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:52.319
thank thank you to my parents who
didn't give me a mullet at any point,

388
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:55.480
but you know, my cousin had
one. He's a little bit older

389
00:23:55.480 --> 00:24:00.599
than me. Like I remember,
I started kindergarten and I think like half

390
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.960
of the dudes in my class had
mullets. Like it was. It was

391
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.319
a big thing. And honestly,
I think Billy Ray Cyrus is credited for

392
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:08.799
a lot of that. I mean, I don't know, I could be

393
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.799
way I could be way wrong.
I was a little kid, but like

394
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.000
you know, ake you break your
heart was a big deal now, I

395
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.599
mean he was on top. I
can't imagine kindergarteners with mullets. Yeah,

396
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.119
I don't. I don't know if
Aaron, if Aaron Tilla, if Aaron

397
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:30.640
Tippin had a mullet pre or like
I think his early Aaron Tippin was not

398
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.960
a mullet. I think when Aaron
Tippin like sort of was emerging, he

399
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.000
had a mullet. But no,
the song the music video for there ain't

400
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:41.519
nothing wrong with the radio. He's
got a mult He's got a mullet.

401
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:44.279
God, he's beautiful and he look
at a mustache. I mean, I

402
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:52.079
actually think the reason Billy Ray Cyrus
probably got way more credit for influencing America

403
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:59.920
with mullets is because the mustache that
Aaron Tippin had really just it it over

404
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.240
shadow the mullet, you know what
I mean? Like, yeah, you

405
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:06.839
know people were doing that. He's
hell of a stash, hell of a

406
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:11.359
stash on one Aaron Tibbon. All
right, uh so, since we're talking

407
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.480
to music, let me let me
mention this real quickly and then I'll I'll

408
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:18.559
move on because I I'm not surprised
by this, but it might surprise some

409
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:19.960
of you or you might find it
interesting, But I I'm kind of a

410
00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:25.799
nerd for Google trends like where we
get to see the most googled thing.

411
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.240
You know this state googled you know
this this many times? I just I

412
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.160
don't know. I'm sure it doesn't
interest a lot of you. But when

413
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:40.880
it comes to the most popular musicians
overall in America right now, who would

414
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:42.720
you say is you know is on
top? Like? Who do you think

415
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:48.720
are the most famous musicians currently as
we speak, with the most momentum in

416
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.279
America? I would say Taylor Swift
is probably number one? Okay, who

417
00:25:52.319 --> 00:26:00.559
else? Uh? Dua Lipa's probably
up there. Maybe I'm not I'm not

418
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:03.000
great with current music. You when
I say current, I mean like top

419
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.000
forty, Like that's just not my
lane. This guy, this guy has

420
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:10.079
never, in at least the last
few years, never had a song that

421
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:14.920
wasn't top of the charts. Man, it's an I hate that. I'm

422
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:17.160
that I'm blinking on who it is. I'm sure if you say that,

423
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:18.640
I would blank on it too.
If I didn't have this list in front

424
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.319
of me, I would blank on
it too. But here here's the list.

425
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.680
They they this is a research group
that shared this like a pr email

426
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:32.920
blast that just came into my inbox. It is which musician each state googled

427
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.480
the most time. Yes, since
each state's most googled musician revealed thirty eight

428
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:44.200
million Google Google searches forty five states
of the fifty. Taylor Swift, my

429
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:48.279
goodness, five of the states.
Morgan Wallen. Wow, So he really

430
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.240
is? You are so that you
wouldn't have get I mean, like,

431
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:55.200
that's not that that makes perfect sense. Okay, So it's not one like

432
00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:57.119
you like you you didn't think of
him and then say no, he wouldn't

433
00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:00.240
be it. I just don't think
of it because well, you know,

434
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:02.680
I don't listen to him. So
they're probably not even that. But I

435
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.279
feel like most of the time,
even the country artists who are typically at

436
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:10.319
the top of country aren't necessarily like
in the top five of the world that

437
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:12.920
type of thing. Yeah, that's
different now, especially with Morgan Wallen.

438
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:18.880
Yeah that makes sense. But because
he had such a meteoric rise and it

439
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.160
seems like he can do he's done
not not a whole terrible ton of things,

440
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:27.160
but he's done a weird amount of
things that could have tarnished his reputation

441
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:36.799
that haven't harmed him one bit.
I think because I think because the removing

442
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:42.279
him from the radio airwaves because of
the video that surfaced of him saying the

443
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:45.440
in word in past, not not
to someone in that way, but still

444
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.839
he was caught on video and he
said the inWORD, and you know,

445
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:53.279
you can't do that without expecting a
ton of backlash or getting as they say,

446
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:59.519
canceled. So Country music pulled him
off the charts briefly, but you

447
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.559
know, he still kept like,
I don't think I can't imagine many fans

448
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:04.039
were like, oh, nope,
I'm out on him. In fact,

449
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:07.799
yeah, like you know, you
obviously can't do that. And I'm sure

450
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.960
he knows that that was you know, I would hope that like even though

451
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:15.039
he felt like, I'm not offending
anybody, it's just you know, it's

452
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.160
just slang how I talk with friends
or something. I'm not sure if he

453
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:19.000
said that, but I'm sure a
lot of people did say that on his

454
00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:23.240
behalf. But you know, even
if that is the case, like,

455
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.400
you still can't do that and you
shouldn't do that. I mean. Plus,

456
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:29.559
he's also had the instance where he
had to cancel a concert. Yeah,

457
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:32.440
maybe multiple and some people thought maybe
because like he was hung over or

458
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:36.200
something, and then threw the chair
off of a bar. I'll give it

459
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:37.759
the bite of the doubt. On
the concert, I don't know if I

460
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:40.440
believe it, but you know that
that's at least something to where it hasn't

461
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:45.960
been like a recurring thing. But
throwing the chair off of the bar or

462
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:52.119
off of the balcony at a bar
and landing on Broadway in Nashville, that

463
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:55.920
was the confirmation for me that,
like, he's untouchable. And I don't

464
00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:57.480
think he should have been canceled or
been you know, sent to prison,

465
00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:00.440
like don't. I don't think that
that is an unlike. I don't think

466
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.880
that's something you can't come back from. But the very I mean, nobody

467
00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:07.079
cared at all, Like and he
could have killed somebody. I mean,

468
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:10.000
honestly, it would have hit could
have killed them. Yeah, I mean

469
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:12.240
that that's I don't think I'm being
dramatic or exaggerating, like quite literally that

470
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:15.319
you could have killed somebody by doing
that. And I think what endangerment is

471
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:18.200
a charge that a lot of people
probably would have received in that, But

472
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.400
he didn't. I don't think I
think it was something you know, more

473
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:22.759
minor. So Yeah, he's on
I mean, he's on top of the

474
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.160
world. There's no doubt about it. And I can't say that I'm like

475
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.839
a fan of his music, but
I realize he's really talented, if that

476
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:32.880
makes sense. Like I don't seek
him out, but I can see that

477
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:36.400
he's really talented in a different way
than most musicians. Like. To me,

478
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:37.960
he's a good writer, he's got
his own sound. He's like the

479
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:42.720
next evolution of what the twenty tens
have with with bro country. I think

480
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:45.640
he still kind of fits that under
that umbrella, but it's kind of taken

481
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:48.960
in me. I feel like he's
way more talented, if that makes sense.

482
00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:52.440
Like, I think he's a phenomenal
writer. I think he's a really

483
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:56.480
good singer. I think he actually
is genuine like I think he's I mean,

484
00:29:56.880 --> 00:29:59.079
I would agree with you meaning like, I don't think this is some

485
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:00.720
kind of a fac odd like an
act or something like that. And that

486
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:03.839
doesn't make me a bigger fan of
him, but I can at least you

487
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.680
don't respect that, you know,
in clearly he's you know, uh,

488
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:11.119
probably not gonna have a tough time
getting any woman that he would want.

489
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:15.720
But I don't think it's because he's
a pretty boy. It's I think it's

490
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.279
just because he's super famous and he
makes great music. And you know,

491
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:22.519
I'm not saying as an ugly looking
dude, but you know, he's he's

492
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.920
on top of the world. There's
no doubt about that. And another guy

493
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:32.839
that like, these aren't people who
I think old older people probably who you

494
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:37.119
know, see Morgan Wallen in Post
Malone there. They just think these guys

495
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.519
are you know, talentless hacks that
are just big because of the Internet.

496
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:44.000
And what are these young people listening
to? You know what I mean?

497
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:48.119
Like, that's probably not something that
would you'd be surprised to hear somebody of

498
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:52.640
the older generation say. And I
get it, but I actually think both

499
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:56.480
those guys are super talented musicians.
That are that are I think they're artists,

500
00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:57.559
that's the best way to put it. They are artists, that's fair.

501
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:00.519
And they made a song recently that
it's probably like top of the charts

502
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:03.319
now. And if you told me
ahead of time these two guys are working

503
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:06.799
on a song, I'm just gonna
assume it's probably gonna be awful, But

504
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:10.640
it's actually really good. You know. It's it's not a hokey sing along

505
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:12.880
stuff that you get from a lot
of the stupid country music songs that are

506
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:17.599
out there now. But yeah,
yeah, I'm a sucker for that one

507
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:21.480
Morgan Wallen song where it's like Monday
night was just another night. He's like

508
00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:22.359
naming the days of the week.
Oh yeah, yeah, it's like a

509
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:26.960
dance song. He's, he's,
it's very it's an earworm right there.

510
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:29.680
I can't think of like we all
we listen to music so much differently now

511
00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:34.119
than we ever have, Like albums
are you know, albums nobody goes and

512
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:38.039
buys them right, like you just
stream them. And there's still albums being

513
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:41.640
put out by great artists and they
do well. But I think because we

514
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:45.119
have access to it at all times, Like if the people who love Morgan

515
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.960
Wallen love Morgan Wallen, right,
so it gives you a chance to where

516
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:53.440
you actually have, you know,
the ability to get super familiar with every

517
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:56.680
single song and if you do put
together an album that's really really good top

518
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:01.400
to bottom, good chance that if
you maintain momentum, you're gonna have countless

519
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:05.880
radio hits on that album. Didn't
used to work like that because you couldn't

520
00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:07.519
just play a song anytime you wanted. You had to pop open a CD

521
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:10.640
player or a or a you know, a tape player, or listen to

522
00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:15.519
the radio, and you know that, I think that has helped the people

523
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:19.000
who have a lot of momentum and
are clearly good at what they do,

524
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:23.960
people just consume their music. It's
almost like it becomes part of their personality,

525
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:27.440
you know what I mean. Like
sometimes I fit into that category.

526
00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:30.319
Maybe not on this show, but
if I'm having a conversation with some friends,

527
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:31.559
I can get lost in what I've
been listening to. You with music,

528
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:37.440
Yeah, music's great. I oftentimes
remind myself I should listen. I

529
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:42.160
should just kind of you know,
listen to music more, you know,

530
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.400
frequently, like when I'm at the
gym, I don't listen to music.

531
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:47.440
I listen to podcasts, I listen
to interviews, and I watch shows that

532
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:52.480
I'm on the treadmill. And you
know, it's almost like it never by

533
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:58.160
doing that, I feel like my
brain never really like resets in a way

534
00:32:58.200 --> 00:32:59.880
that I'm sure people have said this, And I don't want to sound like

535
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:01.759
ramatic, like I'm you know,
super deep into music, but in a

536
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:04.799
way, it's therapeutic to listen to
music, you know what I mean?

537
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:06.640
Yeah, sure, kind of,
as you said, kind of you know,

538
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:09.920
kind of get lost in it.
All right, that's a good question.

539
00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:12.960
Let's go to the text line.
I've neglected you guys today, and

540
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:15.400
I do apologize, But this text
says, Nick, I'm fascinated, like

541
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:19.839
you by all the adults that think
they're gonna have the same time they had

542
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:22.319
when they were kids to play this
n Cuba video game. It's all anybody

543
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:27.079
is talking about in my work.
Yeah. Again, we talked about it

544
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:31.359
yesterday. The fact that this game
was already so popular and then it went

545
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:35.160
away and now it's coming back.
That is I think the biggest factor here

546
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:37.680
as to why there's been so much
you know, buzz for this new EA

547
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:44.960
Sports college football video game. But
I actually think in a way, you

548
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:50.440
know, this is this is nostalgic. I think for people, I think

549
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:58.599
there's a drum. There's there's somewhat
of a a fascination from people to you

550
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:01.000
know, kind of relive that air
of their life when they didn't have kids

551
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:04.680
in a full time job. Like
I'm not saying you had to be a

552
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:07.880
teenager in high school, but you
could be. I mean, if you're

553
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:10.960
my age, Like the last time
this game came out. Do you know

554
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:15.599
when it was John twenty fourteen,
Yeah, ten years ago, twenty fourteen.

555
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:19.440
I was in my mid twenties.
I was a young stallion John.

556
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:22.440
I promise you you won't believe me, But I was not really, But

557
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:24.119
I like to imagine I was.
I mean, I you know, I

558
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:27.760
didn't get hangovers. I was.
I was. I mean, I was

559
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:30.360
in my you know, in my
in my zone. I don't want to

560
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:32.280
say in my prime because that sounds
bad. But like, you know,

561
00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:36.480
we weren't. We weren't talking about
having kids yet we were living. We

562
00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:39.760
were living a great life. We
were traveling, and if I wanted to

563
00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:45.960
spend an entire day playing a video
game, I could. Now there's nothing

564
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:49.239
I could spend an entire day doing
because I have responsibilities I have. You

565
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:52.400
know, it wouldn't be it wouldn't
be good for me, because you know,

566
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:55.199
I got, I got. You
know, when you have kids,

567
00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:59.679
it's not only just something that changes
your life for you know, the obvious

568
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:04.360
reason, but you know you you
don't have much time to yourself, and

569
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:07.400
you know you it wouldn't even enter
my brain to to like, hey,

570
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:10.159
here's what, here's what I'm gonna
do today, I'm gonna block off six

571
00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:13.920
hours to play a video game or
just or do you know, play music

572
00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:15.639
or something like, you just don't
have the ability to do that. So

573
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:20.199
not to get super deep about it, but I do wonder if there's some

574
00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:23.239
people that are, like, you
know, kind of chasing this desperation to

575
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:28.000
kind of go back to that nostalgic
era that you probably are that you probably

576
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:30.360
didn't take advantage you probably you feel
like you didn't take advantage enough because now

577
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:34.360
you you know, you don't have
the ability to mean you do. But

578
00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:38.119
like it wouldn't be I just knowing
people in my position, meaning you know,

579
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:43.519
married with two young kids, if
I just said, hey, sorry

580
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:45.920
today I'm out, I'm gonna be
in the basement all day playing video games.

581
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:50.119
Like I don't think my wife would
divorce me. But like that that

582
00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:52.039
wouldn't be cool for me to do
that, you know, I just it

583
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:57.519
wouldn't. It would feel wrong.
But yeah, anyways, let's talk about

584
00:35:57.599 --> 00:35:59.719
something that is right, not wrong, and that's the folks at the Little

585
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:04.039
of Men's Clinic. Doctor Wood.
He's I mean, he's a true pro

586
00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:07.159
and you guys need to quit making
jokes about a guy who can help you

587
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.599
with the rectilt tosfunction being named doctor
Wood once you grow up a little bit,

588
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:14.239
right, maybe that's them trying to
go back to their nostalgic era where

589
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:17.719
they were childish John, because there's
nothing true, no funny business here.

590
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:22.159
We're talking about a professional staff,
a professional crew at the Little of Men's

591
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:23.800
Clinic. They can help you with
a variety of things, and you may

592
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:27.239
not know that you need help,
and it may not even be correct to

593
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:30.840
say you need help because it may
be something that you know, you don't

594
00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:34.880
even realize you're lacking in. And
for me, it was testosterone. You

595
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:37.760
know, I never once thought I
had low T. But finally, you

596
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:39.440
know, after a while, I
felt like something was off. I lost

597
00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:44.519
my edge, workouts weren't the same, I became lethargic, and I just

598
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:47.960
and I was really being mindful of
workouts and sleep and it's still just it

599
00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:52.079
wasn't something wouln't adding up. And
sure enough it said, why why don't

600
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:53.519
I go talk to our partners at
Lois of Men's Clinic, tell them my

601
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:55.719
situations, see if they can help. And that's exactly what they did.

602
00:36:55.800 --> 00:37:00.480
So let him help you, whether
it's a rectile disfunction, estosterone, weight

four thousand again five two four four
four four thousand quick break, then we'll

608
00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:21.239
wrap it up on the other side. I don't know this song, but

609
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:24.320
I get the feeling that this may
not be a song that's speaking that highly

610
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:28.880
of America. Maybe is it not? Is it complaining about America? Doing

611
00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:31.440
a little complaining with America. Had
to throw a little Creed in there,

612
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:35.360
but it's kind of fain. We're
always complaining. You're not gonna You're not

613
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:38.719
gonna get any complaints from me when
it comes to Creed. Good stuff.

614
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:49.400
So the Hawk to a Girl really
made a lot of horny men online upset

615
00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:53.760
as they get set for holiday weekend. She has released a video and let

616
00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:59.400
people know that she does not have
an only fans, will never have an

617
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:05.000
only fan, So quit asking.
So sorry, guys, I'm sure there's

618
00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:08.639
many of you that wished that that
was not the case, but it actually

619
00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:12.719
was pretty And I don't know,
there's part of me that thinks she's like

620
00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:15.280
a like a what do they call
him, a plant? An industry plant.

621
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:19.480
I mean she's not, she's not
a musician. She's just but her

622
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:24.480
not existing much at all and having
no social media at that age before any

623
00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:29.079
of this happened. Like it's why
people think some of this stuff is all

624
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:31.480
made up. Yeah, just like
when the Richmond North and whatever happened to

625
00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:40.079
him? What again something? Yeah, because you know that that was suspicious

626
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:45.000
and you know, I'm sure he's
still around, but like that faded pretty

627
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:46.400
quick, didn't it, because I
think other people realized this was this was

628
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:50.599
just an internet thing. But she
talked about like some things that have been

629
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:52.960
good for her since this happened.
She got to quit her job at the

630
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:57.559
Spring Factory, which to me sounds
made up. She you know, the

631
00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:00.280
Spring factor. Yeah, I mean
then that sounds like something made in an

632
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:01.760
old movie or something. And then
she talked about the bad part of it

633
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:05.559
is that you know, she actually
has to get dressed every day and not

634
00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:07.079
dressed like Adam Sandler, I think
is what she said in the video,

635
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:14.039
and she said that her family's not
comfortable with paparazzi following her everywhere, and

636
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:15.400
she was really upset and she said, no only fans, but she also

637
00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:20.280
she was really upset about people who
are making t shirts and merch and selling

638
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:22.440
it and she's not getting a dom
And I'm thinking, like, honey,

639
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:27.280
welcome to the Internet, like happens
every day. All right, we're out

640
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:30.519
of time. Everybody enjoyed the holiday
weekend. We're back on Monday. Happy

641
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:30.880
fourth at July. Everybody, take
care
