00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:08.880
It's time for Coffee and Company,
fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety.

2
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:11.960
Holy crap, I don't know who
the hell we think when we are

3
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.919
get off our show, idiot.
The kids are playing or trail lit.

4
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:19.679
The countries are screwing it up.
Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother, gold

5
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:24.000
Play Inner Murals. They're supposed to
be mature adults, but they're really not.

6
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.559
Who's the kid here? Who's the
kid here? Are you kidding me?

7
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:40.960
Now? Here's nick coffee? Are
we ready to do this, folks?

8
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.640
Let's get it started. It's a
Friday, good vibes on a Friday.

9
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.399
I mean, I guess every Friday
may not be a good vibe Friday,

10
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.640
but I can tell you today certainly
is. At least it is for

11
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.600
me. Hopefully it is for you
as well. So let's get the party

12
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.399
started. It's Coffee and Company,
fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven

13
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.759
ninety. Don't forget you could take
us with you wherever you go. Listen

14
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.799
live at seven ninety Louisville dot Com. Also listened live on the iHeartRadio app.

15
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.159
I say anywhere you go, I
mean, it's it's pretty much the

16
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.840
truth. I mean you could you
could listen to this show live on Pluto

17
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.920
if they have cell service. Now
I don't know what service looks like outside

18
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.920
of this planet, but uh,
you know that's the power of technology.

19
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.439
So however you're listening, wherever you're
listening, we appreciate you. The company

20
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:29.400
man, mister John Alden is alongside
today and John, are you feeling like

21
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.480
I'm feeling on a Friday. I'm
feeling pretty good. I'm ready Friday.

22
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:36.359
There's something about getting in here kind
of at the last minute that just I

23
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.680
don't know what it is. The
juices are flowing like I walked in here

24
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.599
probably five minutes ago. Now I've
been, I've been. I've been downtown

25
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.599
here at our at our office.
Uh. But the one, the only,

26
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.359
mister Scott Fitzgerald. He was in
here preparing, uh for for his

27
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.280
shift, which is going to be
over there across the hall. I got

28
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.359
to stop doing this, inviting people
to just leave this this show and go

29
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.319
across the hall to has But he's
he's filling in over there with Terry and

30
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.239
so I know, made the rounds, walked around the office a little bit,

31
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.760
Uh, went and got myself an
energy drink to you know, to

32
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.719
get the to get the juices flowing
here and in four Street at three o'clock

33
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.800
on a Friday, it's not packed, but man, there's there's places open

34
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:17.039
that usually aren't open down here.
Uh there's a lot of people, you

35
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.000
know, doing some day drinking.
And I shouldn't act as if like there's

36
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.080
a massive crowd, but usually noticed
it too. And even traffic getting down

37
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.439
here was a little a little more
busy than usual. I mean, you

38
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.400
think it's because of the show.
It could be like do they realize they

39
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.879
can't like this is not and we
don't we don't do a live audience,

40
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.039
you know what I mean? Like, I appreciate everybody trying to make their

41
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.400
way downtown to catch a vibe here
coffee and company, but you could only

42
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.719
listen. You can't you can't be
with us. I had to shove people

43
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.400
out of the way as I was
coming into the iHeart Radio studio. I

44
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:51.879
saw that. I actually think that
the crowd that is already here is here

45
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.439
for a show tonight. So I
think it's hot country nights here at four

46
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:59.560
Street live. Okay, hot country
nights. That's actually definitely hot today it

47
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:04.199
is, and hot country nights Here
at four Street Live is their concert series

48
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.919
where they bring in country music artists, and tonight happens to be the one,

49
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:14.159
the only Tyler Booth And I know
the name, don't know much about

50
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.400
him, but I do know he's
from Wolf County, Kentucky, and I

51
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:23.919
got a feeling when you know he's
playing in his home state. Certainly we're

52
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.319
not close to Campton, Kentucky,
which is I believe close to like a

53
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.840
Red River gorge. So it's not
you know, it's not a it's not

54
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.520
that far, but you know it's
under the lights here at four Street.

55
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.159
Should be a good crowd. So
I have a feeling we might have got

56
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.719
Wolf County to make their way up
here for his show and it's just led

57
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.879
to and they'll be howlan, I
hope, so, I hope. So

58
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.520
a bad joke, Wolf County Howell. No, I mean I thought it.

59
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.439
I mean it's it's the perfect level. Like I know what you were

60
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.039
going for. You were trying to
be corny like it when it worked,

61
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.039
I mean it worked for me.
Now if you were like on stage working

62
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.080
your set at a comedy club,
that'd be different. But you know,

63
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.719
we know where we stand. Here. We throw the dad bad jokes,

64
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:08.120
corny jokes out there, and you
know, people can you know, decide

65
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.919
if they think it's funny or not, but it is. There's just when

66
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.160
when I come to downtown Lowiell,
which I do every day now, and

67
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.360
usually it's just a you know,
I'm not exploring downtown in my vehicle.

68
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.040
I go to the garage, I
walk in here to the show, and

69
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:27.879
then I leave. But it really
is good to see a good you know,

70
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.040
when there are people, like when
people are here, you know,

71
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.439
like I don't remember really what it
was. I know clearly before COVID downtown

72
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:38.639
was in a better spot than it
is currently. But you know, for

73
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:43.680
the first I guess here and a
half that we were here in this downtown

74
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.600
setup. I mean, it's a
ghost town down here, not just where

75
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.560
we are, but just downtown in
general. And it's gradually made some big

76
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:55.040
progress as far as just you know, like we have a good downtown.

77
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.160
And I don't mean like it's safe. Obviously there's crime. I'm not saying

78
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.839
it's perfect, but like we have
the down town of a not humongous city,

79
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.120
but like you know, it's a
good sized city with a lot of

80
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.519
businesses, a lot of restaurants and
stuff. So you know, I don't

81
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.199
a lot of people probably don't care, especially if you don't live near downtown

82
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.199
and you never come downtown. But
I know it enhances the vibes for me

83
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.920
whenever we're here doing our show at
four Street, live in our phenomenal studios,

84
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.959
and you know, there's a good
crowd on hand, not for us.

85
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.560
I mean, I hope that they're
here for us, but I know

86
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.360
that they're not. But it's just
good stuff. It was really weird coming

87
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.040
in here for the first, you
know, year and a half or so,

88
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.800
and more often than not, like
it's a ghost town. And it

89
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.680
used to be like this used to
be the Galleria. You don't even know

90
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:40.560
what that is, John before no, after hearing enough from you, it

91
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:43.439
used to be a mall right,
yeah, and that I don't know if

92
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.079
that I don't know when that was
in its prime, but in my lifetime,

93
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.160
anytime I was ever around or anytime
I heard anything about it while it

94
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:51.240
was open, you know, it
wasn't good. It you know, needed

95
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:56.120
to be ended in something new,
and they did that with four Street.

96
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.199
But before I worked here, you
know, this is probably when and this

97
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.920
was Tango, said Cantina. I
think that's what it was called, because

98
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.279
for those who used to go to
four Street ten years ago, you know,

99
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:11.920
whenever you know you were bar hopping
at that age, Tango was probably

100
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.199
one of the more popular bars here. That's where we usually ended up,

101
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.160
and that exact spot is now where
we broadcast live from every day. But

102
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.279
before that, you know, ten
years ago, I would come downtown and

103
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.279
have lunch with my mom because she
works downtown, and there was a food

104
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.360
court across the hall, across the
way, i should say, and they

105
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.720
had a variety of different restaurants and
it was never you know, walla.

106
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.279
You know, it wasn't like you
couldn't move in there, but you know,

107
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:39.720
you'd go there on a on a
Tuesday or a Thursday lunchtime, and

108
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:44.079
you know, each business in there
was getting good business because it's where people

109
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.279
would go to lunch, and there
was other restaurants you could go to as

110
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.920
well. And then, you know, just sad to see what Ford Street,

111
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:53.279
not specifically for so but just downtown
had become. And now, you

112
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.519
know, I feel like it's making
a gradual comeback, and I like to

113
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.560
see it all right, So let's
just get right into it. Nothing.

114
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:05.519
We're gonna work nothing else but debate, reaction and coverage for the rest of

115
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:10.759
the show today. We've got roughly
two hours and fifty minutes left. We're

116
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.399
just gonna give our thoughts on Joe
Biden, Donald Trump. And you know,

117
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.279
I'm clearly I'm kidding, but I
feel like just the overall situation here,

118
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:26.720
it has put us in a spot
where you can talk about this it's

119
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.959
topical, its content, and it
cannot be political at all, meaning like

120
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.959
you can have thoughts and opinions that
have nothing to do with either side of

121
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.360
the aisle. It's just wild that
we tuned in last night to see two

122
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:46.600
senior citizens just absolutely you know,
I mean, I gotta be honest,

123
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.639
I think it went much better for
one person than the other. I have

124
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.959
no clue if what was said was
truthful at all. Clearly there were some

125
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:58.079
things that fact checking had been done
to kind of confirm that maybe there was

126
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.040
some misleading on both sides. To
be honest with you, but I mean

127
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.680
it was a body I mean body
bag for Joe Biden. I mean he,

128
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:09.040
I mean, he was not good. And this is again not a

129
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.480
political opinion. But I was not
surprised to see the reaction from the Democratic

130
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.480
Party last night was that, you
know, and I don't know who the

131
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.639
political analyst was that was given this
reaction. I believe it was on CNN

132
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.959
that was, you know, basically
saying that her phone was ringing NonStop during

133
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.199
the debate, and it was,
you know, she was name dropping Obama

134
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.199
and just other people that, of
course, you know, are very well

135
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.799
connected to the Democratic Democratic Party that
were like, you know, high alert,

136
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:35.159
like we gotta do something here,
we gotta, we gotta, we

137
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.879
got to drop this guy and and
do some I mean, can they do

138
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:41.600
that again? As somebody who's never
paid attention to this, because I typically

139
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.840
don't get involved. When I say
don't get involved, clearly I would never

140
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.080
be involved in like the actual process
of someone becoming the president. But I

141
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.919
mean, like I just never get
into the politics of of anything. It's

142
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.720
just not really been my nature.
But last night I watched from start to

143
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.600
finish, and I've never done that
before. And it's not because i'm you

144
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:00.679
know, and I do have opinions, like I I mean, I know

145
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.720
exactly what I'm gonna do on election
day, but I'm just saying like,

146
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.639
I think there's a lot of people
like myself that have never really found it

147
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.919
interesting to think, like, here
we go, the two guys that could

148
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:13.399
potentially be that are gonna one of
these two is gonna be the president.

149
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.440
Let's hear what they have to say
when they debate each other. I've just

150
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.799
never really been interested before, but
I was interested last night, partly because

151
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:22.960
I do want to hear how they
answer some questions and how they address some

152
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.519
things, but also just because like
it was gonna be it was gonna be

153
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.799
entertainment. It was gonna be a
show, right, And I know there

154
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.200
are some that are like, I'll
tell you what I think it might have

155
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.240
been. Yeah, Colin cowhurt earlier
today had to fill in. I can't

156
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.720
think of his name. Jason McIntyre, Yeah, j mack, and you

157
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.639
know he started the show. I'll
tell you what I didn't do last night.

158
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.120
Watch those two old dudes, you
know. And I'm sure there are

159
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.240
people that intentionally made sure they didn't
see it because they're just bothered that this

160
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.919
is where we are. But I
don't, I don't. I don't think

161
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.559
there would be like I think you
could be like that, But also still

162
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:03.120
you can feel that way but still
find yourself tuning in. That's kind of

163
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.919
how I was. I didn't really
have any plans to watch it until it

164
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:07.639
was brought up yesterday on the show
that it was the reason that the NBA

165
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:13.320
Draft was moved to the early afternoon, and for me, I couldn't watch

166
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.559
past the first commercial break. Once
they finally took one, I guess about

167
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.639
forty five minutes in, I had
seen enough just because it was so so

168
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:22.440
you turned it off, but it
was because you just wanted to do something

169
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.000
different, or because you were that
bothered by just the overall like it was

170
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.600
kind of it was a real visual
and I guess audio confirmation of where we

171
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.799
are. I was looking for a
way out of it, and once they

172
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:35.120
took a break, I'm like,
I'm done with this and it's not I

173
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.440
mean, it was embarrassing. It
wasn't embarrassing for me specifically, but just

174
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.840
I had seen enough of Joe Biden
just stuttering and coughing up dust and it

175
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:48.879
was just one of those most It
was very uncomfortable to see the person who

176
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.879
leads our country just stutter and stumble
over everything that he was trying to talk

177
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.440
about yeah, and and what I
don't understand is that those reacting like,

178
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.159
Okay, this was a this was
really concerning for the Democratic Party. This

179
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.320
is a really like they're they're,
they're they're stunned, and I'm like,

180
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.120
well, I don't even not be
aware of it. I don't even pay

181
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.840
close attention. And I could tell
you that that was probably like everybody in

182
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:13.799
America kind of felt like that was
that was what was going to happen.

183
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.320
And I think a lot of people
probably were thinking, why are they even

184
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.519
doing this? Like how what what
this is? I mean, is that

185
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.519
why there wasn't an audience because I
can't imagine what the reaction would have been

186
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.440
if there was a live audience.
For that, they usually have a good

187
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.559
question, well did you notice that
they they they cut off each other's mics

188
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:35.000
each time, which helped, I
mean like it made it to where,

189
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.879
like you know, because think about
how how we wouldn't have been able to

190
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.519
understand or hear anything they were saying
because they would have been talking over each

191
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:43.919
other. Although Biden can't speak loudly, no, he like Whisty can barely.

192
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.519
They can barely talk like say with
your chest, Joe come on brother

193
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.440
like, but I guess he can't, which is actually kind of sad.

194
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:56.919
So Vinettie put this out last night, and uh, I'm sure it's there's

195
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.080
some tongue in cheek there, and
I put much into it. But then

196
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.480
I saw a video after the fact
that made me think, like maybe Evenette's

197
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:09.679
right, and it was that Jill
Biden or maybe Venetti shared somebody saying this

198
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:15.639
that Jill Biden should be arrested and
charged for elderly abuse for rolling her husband

199
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:16.720
out there. And I'm thinking,
you know, that's just you know,

200
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.519
a low hanging fruit kind of joke, and it you know, checks out

201
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:22.440
like it kind of seems that way. But then after the fact, when

202
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:28.000
he's just standing there, you know, kind of doing a slight wobble.

203
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.919
You ever played the game Mortal Kombat, where like you're just waiting to be

204
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.559
finished off, like that's what Biden
looked like, and she's up there being

205
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.039
the hype man like Joe you answered
every question. It was just it made

206
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.679
me sad. It made me very
very sad. So you know, I'm

207
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.840
curious to see and maybe it's already
out there. I haven't looked or seen

208
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.960
any numbers yet. But as far
as viewership, have you heard anything,

209
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.559
No, because I wouldn't be shocked
if it' And again this probably isn't some

210
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:58.200
type of a hot take, but
I feel like the viewership is going to

211
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.000
be like, maybe not record breaking, but maybe not far from it.

212
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.440
Because again, as much as people
are like, I'm not watching that these

213
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.840
guys suck, we should give the
people people watch. Would you get the

214
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.759
people who weren't tuning in, they're
checking on Twitter and that kind of stuff,

215
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.399
seeing all of the shenanigans that are
going on, they're going to tune

216
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.480
in fifteen twenty minutes in and see
all the nonsense that was said. Yeah,

217
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:24.720
and there are clearly some real concerns
for our country. Uh. And

218
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:28.639
with that said, though, I
still think there's a lot to be grateful

219
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.679
of as far as what we have
and our our our country. But it

220
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:39.279
was it was wild to hear any
any anything Trump would say. And look,

221
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.919
he's not presidential, you know,
That's why some people are like,

222
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:45.320
that's why I like him. He's
not a politician. You know, he's

223
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.200
not polished. And I feel like
that's just as big as he can't get

224
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.120
out of his own way. And
there's a lot of other issues that would

225
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.120
make people like be uncomfortable with Trump, There's no doubt about that. But

226
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.679
for Biden to just be like,
this is the greatest country in America,

227
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.200
Like, dude, you're not like
okay, Like we we can believe that

228
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.159
and know that and still understand that
we have to have to Like that's like

229
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.039
such a half assed way of saying, everybody calmed down, We're gonna be

230
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:11.480
okay without you giving us any type
of feel that we you know, any

231
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.840
type of explanation as to how things
are going to get better. And again,

232
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:16.919
I wish I could, and maybe
I'll figure out who it is this

233
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.639
is turning into a political talk show. But there was the woman who I

234
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:26.320
referenced earlier, who was doing the
the analyst work and referenced her phone calls

235
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.399
and just how many people were panicking. She said it best those that are

236
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:35.360
on the Democratic side wanted to go
into last night feeling reassured that they're in

237
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.279
good shape with him being the guy
that's that's But I feel like even a

238
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:41.240
lot of people, I mean a
little bit, a little bit of that

239
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:45.320
is delusion because I think you could, you could be a hardcore Democrat and

240
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.000
understand this, this doesn't this doesn't
look good, and this may not this

241
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.840
this guy's probably not the one we
should have out there representing that side of

242
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:52.679
the party or that that side of
the aisle, I should say, but

243
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:56.519
like he not only did he not
do that, he made anybody who wasn't

244
00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:58.799
really worried worried, and that's that's
kind of crazy. So I don't know

245
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.320
what but what happens the rest of
the way, And obviously I'm gonna vote,

246
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.120
but I'm not going to let it
consume my life to where like I'm

247
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.960
gonna be, you know, whatever
happens. Like again, I don't know

248
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.360
how to say this without sounding like
your vote doesn't matter. But I'm gonna

249
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.559
vote because I feel like it is
my obligation, it is my duty.

250
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.320
But also like I'm not going to
like I'm I'm I'm doing that knowing I

251
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:24.919
really don't have much control. I'm
one person. Does that make sense,

252
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.240
Yes, It's like I'm not going
to like, you know, I've some

253
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.559
of the best advice I've ever been
given in my life, and I still

254
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:35.960
try to follow it every day.
Don't get caught up and worried about things

255
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.200
you cannot control because it's the biggest
waste of time energy, and it'll consume

256
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.759
you and it'll wreck you. So
that's kind of how I view this whole

257
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.840
thing overall. But you know,
it is just last night was I guess,

258
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:50.399
the realization of kind of where we
are, even though we already knew

259
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:56.759
it. But seeing those two up
there acting like children although they're senior citizens

260
00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:58.879
not far from death is crazy.
And I don't mean like they're gonna die

261
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:03.320
tomorrow, but you know, these
are old ass dudes, old ass dudes,

262
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.200
and one is you know, clearly
a little bit more aware of you

263
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.639
know, what planet he's on than
the other. So I don't mean to

264
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.000
make fun of it, because I
know some people are really genuinely sad about

265
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:18.000
it. But I do hope that
twenty years from now we're in a better

266
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.600
place with the economy and people are
always going to be yelling at each other

267
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.879
about politics. That's never going to
change. But my son, my daughter,

268
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.080
you know, they're not, you
know, they're not. They're probably

269
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.279
not going to remember this, right
because they're so young and they were in

270
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:36.159
bed like that. Even if I
said the name Joe Biden or Donald Trump,

271
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:37.360
I don't think my son would even
know what I'm talking about, Like

272
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.360
he doesn't know. He's a young, young kid. But I would hope

273
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:48.759
that things get a little bit more, Uh. I want to I want

274
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.519
to be careful with my words because
I don't want to act like I'm taking

275
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:55.039
any real big side here, but
like, I just hope that we're not

276
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:59.200
things are not as contentious within this
country and we're not as divided in twenty

277
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.000
years. And then I'll play this
clip for my son and tell him this

278
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:07.480
was said on a presidential debate and
he won't believe me, but I'll have

279
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.000
to show him the evidence that it
was said. What are you talking about?

280
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.640
You have the morals of an alley
cat. Man, Sir, I

281
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.000
didn't have sex with a porn star. You have the morals of an alley

282
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:26.359
cat responded by I did not have
sex with a porn star. I remember

283
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.559
when he said that, I mean
in my kitchen, like that exchange was

284
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.680
insane. It was that was before
the first prey too, so I remember

285
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.759
catching that one. And it's one
of those things where and there were many

286
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.359
of these moments I think throughout the
debate, but you have that brief moment

287
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.039
where you think like, this can't
be real, is it? I mean,

288
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.839
this is this is the golf thing? Oh that was actually you know

289
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.119
that that's still childish and petty,
but like I kind of get that,

290
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:53.799
you know what I mean, Like
that's which, by the way, Joe

291
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.440
Biden would break in half if he
swung a golf club. I feel like

292
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:02.319
it's like, will you carry your
own back? What what are you talking

293
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:07.240
about? You have the morals on
an alley cat mate, Sir, I

294
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:12.680
didn't have sex with the porn star. All you can do is laugh,

295
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:15.599
right, Oh yeah, all you
can do is laugh. All right,

296
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.480
let's get a quick break out of
the way. You gonna be a shorter

297
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:21.440
segment. On the other side,
we got to talk about the NBA draft

298
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:26.960
because I happen to think that it's
good that the Bronnie James thing took place

299
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:32.839
in the middle of the afternoon and
the presidential debate kind of really dampered down,

300
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:33.799
and it's still gonna be talked about, like it's gonna be the it's

301
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.680
gonna be the Bronnie James Summer League. We know that, and that'll be

302
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.599
annoying. But I think the Kyle
Philipowski story, which is actually there's more

303
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.319
to share from that from yesterday when
we talked about it. That would be

304
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.319
a much bigger deal if it wouldn't
have happened, if things wouldn't have played

305
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.799
out like the timing right on the
presidential debate, the draft being in the

306
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:55.799
middle of the afternoon, it being
a weak draft. But like this,

307
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:59.000
the layers to this story are wild. So we'll certainly get into that.

308
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:00.519
But a couple of gus that's going
to join us, Doctor Larry Ben's probably

309
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.400
have physical therapy around three forty five
this afternoon, and then we'll talk to

310
00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:07.240
the one, the only, mister
Jeffrey Greer coming up at four thirty.

311
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.319
They got a big, a big
match tomorrow for Racing Louisville, and you

312
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.640
can actually get a free ticket potentially, and I'll tell you how on the

313
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:17.720
other side. Keep it locked right
here. It's cofee in Company feel by

314
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:23.200
Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety.
So this is Tyler Booth. He'll be

315
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:27.920
here tonight at four Street Live.
Actually saw him, I guess, getting

316
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:33.960
with his sound guys earlier today whenever
I was making my way in and I

317
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:36.720
knew who he was, knew what
he looked like. I recognized him because

318
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:37.720
you know, he's not somebody I
listened to a whole lot of it.

319
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:41.039
He's not like a superstar, but
he's he's got some momentum, he's had

320
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.759
some radio hits, and he's from
Kentucky. But are you playing the video,

321
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:47.079
John, No, this is just
audio. Okay, Well can you

322
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.599
see? You can see what he
looks like. His voice does not match

323
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.480
his look. No, he's got
a real deep he's got a great voice.

324
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.559
He has like a Dustin Lynch style. He's really young and young looking.

325
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.720
I mean he may actually be he
actually may not be as young as

326
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:02.640
he looks. But this voice,
to me, it's got something behind it

327
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:04.680
to where you feel like maybe a
bigger guy. Yeah, he's not that,

328
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:08.480
and he's got She was born in
nineteen ninety six, So how old

329
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:12.200
does that make you? Yeah,
twenty seven, A young buck like mister

330
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.839
Alden the company man. So shout
out to Tyler Booth and if you're coming

331
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:19.160
down to four Street Live for a
show tonight, have fun. Let me

332
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.799
tell you this, if you have
never been to a racing Louisville game,

333
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:27.799
they've got to fill the fam Lynn
Family Stadium tomorrow. Fill the fam game

334
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.079
they do it every year where they
try to get as many they want to

335
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:33.640
have a big crowd every single game. But they're really really putting a great

336
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:40.039
effort into getting this crowd tomorrow for
their four o'clock game as big as possible.

337
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:41.799
So what they're doing is if you've
never been to a game, they're

338
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.480
gonna let you get in for free. So there is a link that I

339
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:49.200
tweeted out at the card Connect on
Twitter or ex if you call it that,

340
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:53.640
And if you sign up, it's
a really quick form you fill out,

341
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:57.880
you'll get a complimentary ticket for tomorrow's
game, so take advantage. You

342
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:00.920
also get a free t sho if
you're one of the first two thousand fans

343
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:06.799
that that are in attendance, and
two dollars pregame happy hour. Folks.

344
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.240
It's going to be hot as fire
out there, so you know, wet

345
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.440
your whistle with some two dollars pre
game bruise. And I'm sure there's some

346
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:18.200
places within to cool off and there
get in the shade and have some fun.

347
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:19.799
And this is something that's really cool
and it's not a bit. I

348
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:26.839
mean, the promotions teams at these
with the within these franchises are always doing

349
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.759
things to try to get, you
know, to make it more family friendly

350
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:32.400
and just to make make you know, to give you an incentive to be

351
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.359
there other than just watching the action
that happens in the NFL. I mean,

352
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.759
I went to a Titans game to
watch my colts play a few years

353
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.039
ago, and I was blown away, like the between at halftime and even

354
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:44.960
like some I think it might have
been one of the longer breaks. I

355
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:47.920
mean, they do like country music
acts and stuff like. There's there's a

356
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:49.799
lot of entertainment that goes on outside
of just what's on the field in the

357
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:53.279
court. So if you have children, you can actually have them on the

358
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.039
field after the game and they get
a chance to kick a goal. So

359
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:00.200
good stuff tomorrow. Hopefully, hopefully
they get a great crowd out there for

360
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:03.599
their match tomorrow. You like that. I didn't call it a game.

361
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:07.559
I didn't call it a game.
I called it a match. I'm talking

362
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.000
a little footy here, you know
what I'm saying, getting getting, you

363
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:17.119
know, getting ready? All right. So, the the draft story that

364
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.559
has been talked about more than anything, like the storyline I should say is

365
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:26.640
Bronni James and it happened the Lakers
drafted him. No real surprise, although

366
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:32.759
it was hilarious to see Rich Paul
the agent of course became an agent because

367
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:36.119
he was Lebron's guy. And you
know there's not doesn't you talked about a

368
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:37.880
whole lot, but there have been
a lot of really good NBA players that

369
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.880
have linked up with Rich Paul for
Clutch Agency or whatever it's called, and

370
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.559
then left because like it's just Lebron, Like you know, not to say

371
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:48.440
he's terrible to everybody, but like
you know, you're never going to be

372
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.680
a real priority for your guy when
he's representing his best friend, Lebron James,

373
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.200
and now his best friend's son,
probably his nephew. I'm sure he

374
00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:03.960
calls him uncle Uncle. Rich's Paul
telling people, do not draft Bronnie James.

375
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.319
If you do, he'll go to
Australia and you're wasting a pick.

376
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.599
Like I think it was Bob Ryan
who shared that yesterday on ESPN's draft coverage,

377
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:17.160
and I mean, the one of
the tweets I saw was perfect,

378
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:21.680
Rich Paul, do not draft Bronnie
James. If you do, he will

379
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:25.839
go to Australia. NBAGMS, don't
worry, We're already way ahead. Of

380
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:27.359
you, we have no interest in
this kid who's not ready to play in

381
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:32.839
the NBA. I mean it is
it is a story like it is cool

382
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:34.839
for them. I just wish there
was a little bit more legitimacy to it,

383
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:38.359
you know. I wish there was
a little bit more belief that LEBRONI

384
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:41.839
and for those who don't know,
his name is Lebron James, I wish

385
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.319
there was a little bit more belief
that he was actually going to be able

386
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.359
to play in the NBA and have
a long career. And he might.

387
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.359
I'm not saying that it's impossible,
because when I watch him in workouts and

388
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:59.559
it's just workouts, you know,
he's got insane physical attributes that makes it,

389
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:02.640
you know, pretty obvious. Oh
yeah, I can see why he

390
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:06.720
he's he's he's Lebron James the second
or junior. He's like he's he's got

391
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:10.200
good bloodlines, right. I mean, he's got bounce, that is.

392
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:12.920
I mean, Lebron always had bounce
and still does. But he's so big

393
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:15.839
it doesn't look that impressive. Bron
He's a little shorter, but he's big

394
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:22.519
physically like his dad, and he
can jump out of the gym and I

395
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:25.319
really saw this going in a different
direction. I thought he would be a

396
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:32.759
serviceable, good solid freshman at USC
to where he'd be drafted and we would

397
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:36.079
all know that his dad, being
lebron James, was a clear factor,

398
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:40.640
was the biggest factor, was the
biggest reason. However, you could see,

399
00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:42.759
okay, he might he might turn
into something, but it just didn't

400
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:45.759
happen at USC now, to be
fair to the young man, and this

401
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:49.640
is something I got to admit,
I forgot he had a like an episode

402
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:53.119
at USC that kept him sideline for
a while where he wasn't playing basketball because

403
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:56.000
he had like a heart condition,
like I don't know if you guys remember

404
00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:59.799
that or not, Like he was
he didn't play for a while, and

405
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.559
and that's a scary situation in general, but it could have been to where

406
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.880
he was a little rusty at USC, maybe not fully comfortable because of how

407
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:12.000
scary that situation is. So I
think this kid has been nothing but likable.

408
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:18.559
I really do, Like I'm gonna
be honest with you, look at

409
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.960
how Deion Sanders kids act, and
look at how Bronnie James acts. He's

410
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.279
professional, he seems mature, He's
never childish. He doesn't get into the

411
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.759
weeds with people on social media that
talk about how ridiculous it is that he's

412
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:34.160
going to be drafted. He seems
mature and honestly, as much as Lebron

413
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:37.960
has Lebron antics that just kind of
make you want to rip your hair out.

414
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:42.559
Lebron's carried himself professional. He's not
been a bad guy. You don't

415
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:45.359
see him getting arrested. He's not
you know, he's not a jerk to

416
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:49.160
the media. He treats fans with
respect. Not to say he's the he's

417
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:55.279
a choir boy. But like when
you are Lebron James, the best player

418
00:25:55.599 --> 00:26:00.359
of all time in the eyes of
some if you have him behind any buddy

419
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.079
other than Michael Jordan, I think
you're flat out wrong and you're just a

420
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.880
hater because Lebron is special. But
when you are that caliber of a player,

421
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.200
that with that kind of a reach, and you're that big of a

422
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:14.440
superstar, you can't, I mean, you do anything to seem like a

423
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:17.279
jerk or you know, you just
it's good. You're it's gonna be under

424
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:19.119
the you know you're gonna it's gonna
be magnified. And there are clearly things

425
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:23.400
you can point to Lebron with his
flopping, you know, his his just

426
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:26.920
being Lebron. That just makes it
to where like, come on, man,

427
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:29.799
like really, But overall, I
mean, I still think Lebron,

428
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:36.240
given the magnitude of his reach,
has been a pretty good has carried himself

429
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:40.160
pretty well as a professional throughout all
this. And his son, I think

430
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:44.319
has done the exact same thing.
And I remember when he was in the

431
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:47.920
recruiting right, you know, when
he was in the recruiting circuit with Nike

432
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:51.480
and whatnot and playing you know one, he carried his own like he wasn't

433
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:53.000
out there as a bum, but
you always wondered, like would he be

434
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:56.599
ranked as high as he was if
he wasn't Lebron's son, But like he'd

435
00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:59.319
play against the best players in the
country, and he may not look like

436
00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:02.559
the best guy, but he he
doesn't stand out as a guy that doesn't

437
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:08.519
belong. And I really really appreciate
players who know who they are. They

438
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:14.200
don't try to be anything different.
And I think Bronnie James, from what

439
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:18.359
I've seen, and it's not a
ton he knows he's not his dad.

440
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.839
He's not out there trying to play
like his dad. He knows that defense

441
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:26.720
is really his calling card. He's
an elite defender and he can pick his

442
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.000
spots like he's not out there taking
over the game like his dad does.

443
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.680
And I just think that's that's something
you would say, Okay, well,

444
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:37.720
like why is that? Why does
he deserve credit for not trying to take

445
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:40.799
over a game? I think it's
harder than you realize for a young man

446
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:44.039
knowing who his father is, knowing
the expectations and the hype around him,

447
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:48.039
even if people don't believe it,
Like he's not here's what I think in

448
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:51.079
the summer league. He's not gonna
take debate and try to take over a

449
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:53.039
game to prove people wrong that doubted
him. He's gonna play within his He's

450
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:56.839
gonna play within himself. And I
just think that's admirable for a guy.

451
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.440
I mean, look, he has
got privilege and and things that he has

452
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.640
been born into because of who he
is and because of who his family is

453
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.759
and his father. So like it's
not like I'm acting as if, oh,

454
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:12.680
poor kid, but it also wouldn't
be easy to be in that position

455
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:17.000
as a basketball player. Yes,
you got drafted yesterday and it's because it's

456
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:19.519
your dad. But like the noise, you're gonna hear about how you suck

457
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.720
and that it's you know, I
mean like that that that's not ideal for

458
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.319
a kid. So I you know, I I don't dislike Bronnie James.

459
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.960
I just know this for what it
is, and it just it's it's kind

460
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:34.599
of crazy if you think about it. A really obvious joke was made yesterday

461
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:38.240
and I got admit I laughed out
loud. I think it might have been

462
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.279
Stephen Shae from Barstool Sports to put
it out there first before it took off,

463
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:44.400
and others have tried to share it
as if it's their own. But

464
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:48.160
that's the first place I saw it. But already big drama in LA as

465
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:52.240
it turns out lebron James is sleeping
with the mother of their latest draft bicks.

466
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:53.079
I saw that, yeah, I
mean like in it which it which

467
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.400
is true. And as a father, you know, I didn't. I

468
00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:00.400
didn't play in the NBA and my
dad didn't either, although he's have I

469
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:02.440
think he got screwed. I feel
like my dad would have been a great

470
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:04.519
NBA player. He just didn't get
He just didn't get the right exposure and

471
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:11.599
different times back in nineteen seventy nine, But there cannot be anything cooler than

472
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:15.319
that. As a father and as
a son, playing in the NBA with

473
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:19.400
your dad and with your like that, that gives me chills. And if

474
00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:23.759
it was anybody, like if it
was a journeyman like Vince Carter who played

475
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:27.799
until he was fifty seven, seemingly
and his son was the same age,

476
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:32.200
like there would have been a little
more to it to where it would have

477
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:37.000
feeled more believable, because like,
nobody has the power Lebron has had with

478
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:40.200
any within the organizations he's played for. It's like it's still cool, but

479
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:42.119
like if it was a little bit
more organic, I feel like it would

480
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:45.279
have been a little bit more of
a sentimental thing for people. But because

481
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.839
it's Lebron, it's magnified and it's
a much bigger deal. So, you

482
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:51.839
know, I get it people are
bothered by it, but there's a part

483
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:53.519
of me that understands. And I'm
gonna be annoyed when it's all that anybody

484
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:56.599
talks about at the Summer League.
And I know it is. I know,

485
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:00.400
I know this whole thing is,
you know, because a lot Bron,

486
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.119
But outside of that, it's still
really cold to see father and son

487
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.599
duo in the NBA together playing together, and he's gonna be on the roster.

488
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:11.759
Trust me, there's no nope scenario
where he won't make their team.

489
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:14.119
All right, let's talk about Eatlan

503
00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:59.279
That's Strike Coffee and Company, rolling
along here on a Friday afternoon, getting

504
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:02.279
you set for the weekend. I
am looking forward to this weekend, and

505
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:06.160
I say that with no plans in
place, and sometimes it's nice to have

506
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:08.559
a weekend like that. So we
were out of town last weekend, and

507
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:11.480
I feel like it's been a real
busy summer thus far, but it's nice

508
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.160
to have a low key weekend on
the horizon here and then next week it's

509
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.519
a holiday week. Right. We're
a couple of part timers, actually not

510
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.519
just us, John, but we're
only here till Wednesday next week. Right,

511
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:25.240
that's right. I forgot about fourth
of July coming up, and then

512
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:29.119
my birthdays that Sunday, So you
know, big thirty five or thirty six,

513
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:30.920
what's it going to be thirty six, thirty six? The back half

514
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:33.480
of your thirties? Oh yeah,
I mean, thanks for a mind.

515
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:36.920
I mean, I hadn't even thought
of that, but it's true. And

516
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:40.240
this is Look, I'm not like
an old man, but it is to

517
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:42.559
the point where I don't really look. I mean, I don't really look

518
00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:45.720
forward to a birthday, and I
haven't really liked can't wait my birthdays in

519
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:48.160
a week, like it's been a
long long time since I've been like that.

520
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:52.799
But you know, usually people make
you feel good on your birthday,

521
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:56.200
right, they give they you know, they reach out to you and say

522
00:31:56.240 --> 00:32:00.599
happy birthday. And it really is
just like a day where I mean,

523
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:04.640
because it's not really about the fact
that you were born that day however many

524
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:06.359
years ago. It's just like,
hey, this is your day, and

525
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:08.799
I want you to know. Hey, and and you know, hope you

526
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:12.880
have a good day. So no
plans for thirty six. I'm not sure

527
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:15.200
if there's any special things that come
with being thirty six, but you know,

528
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:19.160
I guess, I guess I'll find
out, all right. Something else

529
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:23.319
I want to get to a little
bit later on in the show is a

530
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:28.880
stat slash fact that I kind of
feel like is going a little bit I

531
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:34.720
don't know, not to say that
it's being underreported just kind of feels a

532
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:38.960
little bit like a stretch because it's
you know, it's not it's not like

533
00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:43.799
it should be leading the headlines when
it comes to, you know, NBA

534
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:47.440
draft coverage. But justin Edwards being
the first ever top three recruit to go

535
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:52.680
undrafted in the history of the recruiting
rankings. Is it's kind of sad,

536
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:55.799
to be honest with you, it
is. Does that say more about the

537
00:32:55.839 --> 00:33:02.599
player or the people who rank the
players. I think it says more about

538
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:07.880
the people around him, because he
should never have entered the draft. He

539
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:10.160
didn't do anything in Kentucky that would
warrant him even in a week draft,

540
00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:15.400
like he should have reset, meaning
transferred, because he has tools. I

541
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:21.640
mean, I think clearly he's nowhere
near as highly rated as as you know,

542
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:25.519
as they ranked him. But he's
he's a talented player, and it

543
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:29.480
didn't work out of Kentucky, and
most of that's on, you know,

544
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:31.839
on him. I don't. I
don't think he's an example of somebody where

545
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:36.799
you know, we can blame Cal
for for him not being as good.

546
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:39.000
In fact, Cal was. Cal
was I think helped. You know,

547
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:44.480
Cal was criticized and should have been
because he played him too long, like

548
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.359
he kept him starting forever, and
it just it made no sense, like

549
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:51.319
he's probably not even top eight to
nine in year rotation at times, and

550
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:52.880
he still started him like every game
until the very end of the season,

551
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:59.039
which I'm telling you, I believe
that Cal had agreements with players that they

552
00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:01.240
would start. I mean, how
many did he start kids at Kentucky that

553
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:06.440
you knew did not need to start. I mean, I think it's because

554
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:08.800
of there was an arrangement made and
one of the reasons why you got these

555
00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:12.719
kids is because they were told they'd
start. So, you know, it's

556
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:14.639
kind of sad, but I think
more than anything, like, yes,

557
00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:17.039
he was overrated, so it's all
the people who rank him and he's not

558
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:21.800
as good as he was believed to
be, which that's you know, that's

559
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:23.639
not his fault, that's just the
reality of it. But he had no

560
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:28.719
business going to this draft and now
he's you know, hopefully. I mean,

561
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:30.840
I no wish I have no.
I don't wish him, you know,

562
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:35.119
to have a terrible rest of his
career, because you know, I'd

563
00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:37.800
be lying if I said I care
what happens with his career. But you

564
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:38.800
know, you don't want to be
that guy. You don't want to be

565
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:45.239
labeled as the guy who is the
only top three player to ever not get

566
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:52.159
drafted. And we'll look at some
other numbers along the way, but I

567
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:57.280
mean, damn, like he go
back and look at the top three players

568
00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:02.679
in like the last gosh fifteen sixteen
years. All of them were like top

569
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:05.599
ten picks, most of them,
I should say, I mean some of

570
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:08.960
them didn't end up being being drafted
that high. But yeah, I don't

571
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:14.559
know if if you know, he's
a twenty twenty three kid. So I

572
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:16.480
saw some people kind of taking up
with the recruiting analysts saying, hey,

573
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:20.760
with COVID, with everything going on, this is one of the most harder

574
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:27.119
eras of college recruiting to to really
evaluate talent and personnel because you didn't get

575
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:30.119
as much time to see him because
they didn't have AAU for a whole year.

576
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:32.400
They didn't have high school basketball for
a while. But that was a

577
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:36.320
while ago, like that when COVID
happened, just Nowards was like fifteen.

578
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:38.360
So I don't know, I don't
know if that checks out. And some

579
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:44.360
I mean I feel like at one
point, maybe even like when he arrived

580
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:46.679
at Kentucky, one of the rankings
and there's a lot of them. There's

581
00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:51.280
on three twenty four to seven rivals
ESPN. A'm I missing any and that's

582
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:54.199
like the core, isn't it.
Yes, they had him number one in

583
00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:58.599
the country and he I mean that
just that's a that's a swing and a

584
00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:02.960
miss well. Also, we were
also going to have to talk about the

585
00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:08.559
Kyle Philipowski situation because I mean,
I feel sad for this kid because I

586
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:15.880
feel like he's totally been like brainwashed, manipulated, taken advantage of. And

587
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:20.719
I feel bad for his family too
because they I mean, I don't think

588
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:25.679
you'd see his mom and brother on
Twitter with strangers expressing how you know there

589
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:30.480
they feel like they've lost him.
And when you thought you'd be there with

590
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:35.159
him on Draft night because you know
he's having that big moment, you're not

591
00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:38.639
even in his life because this cougar
who snatched him up when he was in

592
00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:44.960
high school has you know, kind
of taken over his life. Did you

593
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:46.880
hear the new twist? What is
the new twist? So for those who

594
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:52.159
don't know, Kyle Philipowski has a
girlfriend that he started dating when he was

595
00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:53.880
in high school, when he was
not an adult. She was much older,

596
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:58.159
she was like twenty five twenty six
at the time, and his mother

597
00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:02.440
claims that she was that this woman
because she's a woman, she's not a

598
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:07.880
girl a kid. She groomed him, she sought him out and knew he

599
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:09.440
was going to be an elite recruit, which he was went to Douke,

600
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:14.039
and she wanted to be his companion
as he signs an NBA contract and becomes

601
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:17.599
a millionaire, and you know,
his parents obviously knew that it wasn't normal

602
00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:21.719
for there to be that big of
an age gap. And instead of I

603
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:24.599
guess, you know, siding with
his parents and his family, he's just

604
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:30.719
now kind of under her wing.
And it's just weird. But the new

605
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:34.840
component here that just makes it even
more weird is that she used to be

606
00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:37.280
the family babysitter. Oh I did
see that. Yeah, that's weird.

607
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:40.920
That's weird. Like you know,
what's also weird too, is that she's

608
00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:45.199
Mormon. Correct, yes, and
so he got drafted by the Jazz,

609
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:52.360
which the joke writes itself, right, Yeah, but the so yesterday we

610
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:54.840
were sharing some tweets they were coming
in from his brother about look up like

611
00:37:54.960 --> 00:38:00.800
Mormon. So what it turns out
to be she's a Mormon. So so

612
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:05.559
she, I guess from her family, she can't marry, she can't marry

613
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:08.000
somebody that's not Mormon. So she's
trying to convert him to being a Mormon.

614
00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:14.960
However that has done whatever that process
is. And you know that's probably

615
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:16.840
something his family's not cool with,
and they're not Mormon, so therefore they're

616
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:22.079
probably going to feel even more alienated. But he has a look about him

617
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:24.119
that seemed, you know, meaning
Philipowski, like I think he was a

618
00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:28.440
little brat at at you know,
at Duke. That's a nice way to

619
00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:30.519
say. He was kind of a
little bitch at Duke at times when it

620
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:32.079
comes to his behavior and just how
he acted. Like he had the very

621
00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:37.639
he was a typical Dukie man.
He had absolutely everything that everything you typically

622
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:40.480
see in that dukie dorky brand,
he had it. But he also has

623
00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:44.480
a look about it of innocence of
like just like I could see him being

624
00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:49.239
manipulated pretty easily. And what's crazy
is that I know Barstool Sports did it

625
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:52.440
earlier because he did like an interview
with them in Chicago in their Chicago headquarters.

626
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:55.880
But there's like three or four different
pictures that were taking him throughout the

627
00:38:55.960 --> 00:39:01.880
draft process, working out for teams
or you know, working out by himself

628
00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:07.199
or doing media interviews, and like
she's always like right there in the background,

629
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:09.440
like look looking like over top of
it, like she's she's like that's

630
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:14.239
her pet, Like that's her ticket, that's her payday, which is disgusting

631
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:19.480
if you really think about it,
especially and this goes without saying, but

632
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:23.039
why not say it. Imagine if
it was the other way. Imagine if

633
00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:28.400
it was a twenty five year old
man and a seventeen year old girl and

634
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:31.800
in the roles were reversed. Oh, the amount of backlash. I mean,

635
00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:35.360
he probably wouldn't have gotten drafted.
Well, I guess that's kind of

636
00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:37.639
a different situation. You already be
in the MBA. Yeah, but like,

637
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.920
also, you know, I don't
want to get weird, but like

638
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:46.400
it's kind of gross to think that
she could have potentially known that she was

639
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:51.960
older and probably always attractive, because
she's still attractive now, and like took

640
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:54.039
advantage of the fact that he probably
had a crush on his babysitter when she

641
00:39:54.119 --> 00:39:57.000
was a teenager and he was a
little kid, you know what I mean.

642
00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:00.280
Like, that's just awful. But
like I wouldn't be shocked at I

643
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:04.000
mean, I think the babysitter thing, it's not a crime, but that

644
00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:06.159
makes it to me, it makes
me really weird. Yeah, it makes

645
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:09.880
you wonder he doesn't mean that,
you know, they they crossed paths when

646
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:13.800
he was a seventeen year old at
a party and she was just you know,

647
00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:17.039
a little older, but he got
to he was around older people because

648
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:21.599
of his status as a high,
highly ranked recruit. This is somebody.

649
00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:23.880
She probably changed his diapers. Like, that's weird as hell to me.

650
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:27.960
I didn't mean a weird but like, I didn't mean to make it weird.

651
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:29.800
But like, I don't know anybody
else thought about that, but like

652
00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:37.400
you know, I did because I
guarantee you like she used that to seal

653
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:42.840
the deal essentially. So I am
also curious because it's gonna be it's gonna

654
00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:45.360
be addressed, right, It's gonna
be talked about. He's gonna be asked

655
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.760
about it, although maybe he won't
because again in Utah like that that things

656
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:51.760
are just different there. You know, maybe it's things. I mean,

657
00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:54.480
he's still young enough he can wake
up and you know, change his mind.

658
00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:59.719
They're not married. They're not married. But and that I'm glad you

659
00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:02.519
said, John, because this,
the attention this is already received and probably

660
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:06.599
is going to continue to get could
actually be the eye opener for him as

661
00:41:06.599 --> 00:41:08.960
far as some transparency about like,
dude, this is weird. Yes,

662
00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:12.480
Like you know, this is not
normal talk to some people, and it's

663
00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:15.119
not. It has nothing to do
with the age difference, because that you

664
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:16.880
know, it's it's still weird that
she was that old and he was that

665
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:20.599
young, but like now that they're
both adults, like, it's not weird

666
00:41:20.599 --> 00:41:22.519
that she's eight nine years older than
him. However, however big the gap

667
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:25.679
is the manipulation. Yeah, the
manipulation is what makes it weird, and

668
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:30.039
the babysitting stuff makes it weird.
So all right, Larry Ben's he had

669
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:34.719
some flight issues, but he will
join us hopefully here soon. We'll catch

670
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.800
up with him. Gonna talk to
Jeff Greer and uh, I got to

671
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:40.360
get some more info. I did
some digging earlier, but my dumb ass

672
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:44.559
couldn't figure it out. Is the
NFL owe me money from this Sunday ticket

673
00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:47.880
lawsuit? Like I need to?
You know, when I see billions of

674
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:52.119
dollars owed to Sunday ticket customers like
I was one for years, are they

675
00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:54.360
cutting the check? I don't know. All right, stick with us.

676
00:41:54.360 --> 00:42:02.880
