And it's Kentucky. You know, I'm not doing this 24 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.000 to you know, bring up the fact that they had so many NBA players, 25 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.359 so much talent in one title, because you know a lot of times 26 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.519 people bring that up, especially those that are Louisville fans, and really it 27 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.680 just but it's it is still it's it's the point now where it's unavoidable to 28 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.200 see how many dudes they've had drafted and how many guys they have currently in 29 00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.920 the NBA. Like I just mentioned all those players they're going to be playing 30 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:10.800 for their law Familia TBT team, and I mean those are guys that aren't 31 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:14.719 in the NBA that some of them had good NBA careers and some of them 32 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.479 didn't have good NBA careers, but they still got drafted in like the lottery 33 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:21.439 because you know, I mean Marcus Tigue first round pick, James Young lottery 34 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.319 pick. I mean they did. Cali Perry put so many dudes in the 35 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.719 league in the NBA, and they had so many All Stars in the NBA 36 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.719 All Star Game this past year. I mean they broke their own record, 37 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.280 meaning Kentucky had the record already as far as most guys in the in the 38 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.120 All Star Game from one school. They broke their own record by like three 39 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.680 players this past year. So you know, it's crazy to see, you 40 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.000 know, all of that talent that has come that came through there during Col's 41 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:53.960 run. And I'm sure Kentucky fans are still bitter about the not having as 42 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.159 much to show for it, but they still did have some good teams, 43 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.560 some good runs, and rarely were they ever bad, you know what I 44 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.759 mean. Like college basketball is weird to where it doesn't matter what you do 45 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:07.439 in the regular season if you don't cash in in the postseason. But it's 46 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.400 a much different world if you're just lousy all the time, right, Like 47 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:21.360 you know, from April to March, regardless of what had happened. I 48 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.520 feel like Kentucky fans during the Cal era always felt like they were top dog. 49 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.599 And part of it is because of his ego, his brand, and 50 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.639 it was a perfect fit. Cali Perry was the perfect coach for Kentucky when 51 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:37.280 he was hired, and he was the perfect coach until you know, that 52 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:42.319 relationship just became different. You know, he wasn't getting the same results and 53 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.759 he was becoming even more arrogant. And you know, we all know how 54 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:50.639 that ended. But I'm curious if you're a Kentucky fan when you hear this, 55 00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.599 be honest with yourself. Don't think like, all the hell with this 56 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.280 guy. We don't need him. We've got Mark Pope now. Because I 57 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.080 know you feel that way, and I don't blame you, right, you 58 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.319 should be super excited about the new era that you have here, like like, 59 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.319 who knows how good it's going to be. But I think it's unnatural 60 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:11.520 for Kentucky fans who loved cal because he was their guy for however many years 61 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.240 he was there, thirteen fourteen years, something like that, It's unnatural to 62 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.040 just go from you know, being the guy, loving him and then like 63 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:19.879 all the hell with him? Because I think this is one of those things 64 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:25.759 where if I was a Kentucky fan, and you know, he was still 65 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.240 my coach, I would I would hear this, and and you know, 66 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.920 it makes me feel good about my program. I try not to think about 67 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:31.920 the fact that there's not a whole lot to show for, but just listen 68 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:38.160 to the facts that Caliperry is laying out on the Pat McAfee show about the 69 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.639 success he's had at getting guys to the NBA and getting them drafted. You've 70 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:48.120 hearn it. We have a seventy seventy percent of the players that we recruited 71 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:57.600 in the last fifteen years have been drafted DA seventy three percent of those seventy 72 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:02.920 percent, ty rees have gotten to second contracts. I believe we have thirty 73 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:11.560 percent of the max contracts. Are my guys. Our kids have ourn'ed over 74 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:18.120 five billion dollars without endorsements. And the other voice, by the way, 75 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:23.319 was Tyrese Haliburton, who was on with Pat McAfee today. That's the guy 76 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:27.040 who is laughing and saying damn, because I think they started that conversation with 77 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.560 Halliburton kind of ribbing cal for not recruiting him, which not many people did. 78 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.879 He end up at Iowa State. But I mean that is an insane 79 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:41.279 statistic. I mean, second contracts in the NBA, folks, that sets 80 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.439 you up for the rest of your life. It does. That's that's generational 81 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.000 wealth for you if you're smart, right, if you're out there spending you 82 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.279 know, an insane amount of money, like you can easily blow through your 83 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.920 money. Trust me, there's plenty of awful stories of guys that have done 84 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:59.160 that. But when you get a second NBA contract, it changes your life. 85 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:00.279 Now, getting drafted change your life, right, that'll put in a 86 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.959 lot of money. Like for example, like James Young. We just mentioned 87 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:08.360 him because he's on the Kentucky TBT team. He did not get a second 88 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.720 contract. He was actually I think you can make the case that he was 89 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.800 probably one of Cow's bigger busts as far as the NBA. It's a good 90 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.319 college player there at Kentucky for one year, was a killer, I mean, 91 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.800 made big shots. I mean it's kind of all over the place, 92 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:24.120 but a big guard at six six athletic could shoot the hell out of it. 93 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.040 But he never I mean he only played in the NBA for three years 94 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.040 after being drafted by the Celtics and never I mean, I think recently he 95 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:38.360 played looks like in Italy, so and look, I'm sure he's making good 96 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.319 money there too. But if James Young gets a second contract and instead of 97 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.120 playing for three years in the NBA, he played for seven, and let's 98 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.879 say that put him out of the league in you know, nineteen or eighteen 99 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:57.720 or something like that or twenty whatever it may be, that's that's a different 100 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.319 world of money, because your second contract is more money than your initial contract, 101 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.439 right, I mean, it's just and it's for a longer amount of 102 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:10.720 time, so it is. It's amazing. But I gotta say, as 103 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.319 much as I have fun every now and then, since Cal's been gone to 104 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.639 kind of like guess him up a little bit, you know what I mean? 105 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:20.639 Because Jerry made a good point. I think it was yesterday or the 106 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:26.439 day before when he called about Cali Perry in Arkansas. I'm gonna chill for 107 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.439 calipariy Arkansas when he plays Kentucky. Absolutely, But some people may not because 108 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:32.240 of the Kenny payin factor. I don't really care because Kenny doesn't matter. 109 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.160 But you know, I'm gonna go from winning Cali Parry to lose every game 110 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:40.360 for fourteen thirteen years, however long he was a Kentucky to where now I'm 111 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:44.879 gonna probably pull for him unless he's playing Louisville because it'll probably make Kentucky fans 112 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.959 mad if he's great, and I'm certainly gonna pull for him whenever he's playing 113 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:51.839 Kentucky. So, like I you know, that's just what rivals do, 114 00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:57.120 right, It's petty. I'm not gonna lose sleep if Cal stinks at Arkansas, 115 00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.839 but I will take a brief break and kind of, you know, 116 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.240 taking some jabs at Kentucky for going from having a larger than life guy who 117 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.959 can say things like he just said there that are factual and Mark Pope, 118 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:15.920 who may be great, but you know he's the exact opposite, and there 119 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.920 are benefits to that, because I'm sure you were tired of all the stuff 120 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.759 that comes with Cal. But like Mark Pope earlier this week, Cali Perry 121 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.279 just mentioned that his guys without endorsements in the NBA made over five billion dollars. 122 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.240 Mark Pope got off a plane earlier today when he rode coach facts like 123 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.240 that's just a different world, right, But can Cal really take credit for 124 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:41.120 that? He's going to most coaches will, but how many of those guys 125 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:46.200 made five How many of those five billion dollars that had been earned by those 126 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.159 players he's referencing, did he have anything to do with other than you know, 127 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:56.600 giving them I guess the platform because doing it like he did right out 128 00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.279 of the gate with the likes of Wall Cousins. I mean, heck, 129 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.919 that wasn't it that Wall Cousins team that had five guys in the first round? 130 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.120 I think it was maybe maybe it was the twenty twelfth team. No, 131 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:18.120 it was Wall Cousins, bledsoe. The other one was, Oh, 132 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:20.919 Daniel Orton was like a yeah, Daniel Orton was one of the last picks. 133 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:22.639 And I can't think of who the other one was. But was that 134 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.039 Jeorts or that that was Josh Harrelson. He has Georts, Yeah, and 135 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.679 he played and he played. He was the next year. Now I got 136 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.200 to look it up because there's one guy that I'm missing. That was oh 137 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.039 Patrick Patterson who wasn't a col recruit, but he stuck around and played one 138 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.960 year for him. So anyways, when he did that, that that, 139 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.200 I mean, that's a big deal. Five guys in the NBA Draft first 140 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.600 round from the same team like that's unheard of, and he got a lot 141 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:52.279 of attention, like why this guy's building an NBA factory and it got and 142 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:58.200 in the next year it was Brandon Knight, and I felt like there was 143 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.279 one other very Night was I mean one of the top Yeah, Brandon Knight 144 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.799 was the eighth pick in the draft. And then I guess they didn't. 145 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.519 I guess they Yeah, I mean, I guess he was the only guy 146 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.039 that it got drafted from Kentucky that year. That can't be right. Harrelson 147 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.360 got drafted forty fifth overall, and I guess that was it. But if 148 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.399 you remember, there were guys that decided to come back and play for that 149 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:31.759 title team which featured Garius Miller. So Deron Lamb, Darius Miller and Terrence 150 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.960 Jones came back and that was a big deal. And then you added Michael 151 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.159 kid Gilchrist and Anthony Davis and you know that that was hegue that was a 152 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:45.559 great team. So the first three years, it just it became a thing 153 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:50.519 to where he had built Kentucky basketball not to be a great program because it 154 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:56.279 already was. And yes, let's be real, him selling Kentucky helped. 155 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.919 He couldn't do that at Memphis, he tried. He He's always recruited that 156 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.759 way. So Kentucky was a factor in that. But what I'm saying is 157 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.200 that if we're gonna give Cal credit for those guys, maybe you could say 158 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.799 player development a little bit, but I mean, they're there nine months guys. 159 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.360 I mean, that's I mean, and they're already Here's the thing, 160 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.799 they were gonna be drafts. Most of those guys were gonna be drafted regardless 161 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.240 of where they went. Now, there have been guys who didn't pick Kentucky 162 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.200 that ended up, you know, elsewhere and they ended up not going getting 163 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.080 getting drafted as high. So Kentucky gets the benefit of it out with their 164 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.960 players because of what Cal. You know, because what Cal here, I'm 165 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.559 giving him credit. But what I mean more, what I mean by credit, 166 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.440 more than anything, is the fact that you know, it was a 167 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.759 known thing. Cal Perry puts the dudes in the NBA, and that means 168 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.600 players coming out of high school feel like their best chance of getting drafted early 169 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.960 is to go to Kentucky. And clearly the NBA valued what you know. 170 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.600 I don't know if they valued his coaching specifically, but there was something going 171 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.600 on in Lexington. That led to all the guys coming out of high school 172 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.159 want to go play there in the NBA. You know, I believe they 173 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:00.960 would have taken them if they played for Kansas do instead of Kentucky, but 174 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.600 we'll never know. So I guess to really change the brand of Kentucky basketball 175 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.200 to be the NBA factory, not the program that wins a bunch of national 176 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.879 championships. That's that's that's what he did and that's why it kept rolling to 177 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.039 where no matter what guys were, it'd be hard to turn down Kentucky if 178 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.600 you want to go to the NBA, right, And a lot of people 179 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.840 didn't do it for a while, So I don't know. I just hearing 180 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:30.919 him say that. I guess if any coach had that fact about their players, 181 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.279 they would share it, and they would they would they would gloat. 182 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.000 But I mean, how much of it is him? And I guess you 183 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.960 could say about any player, right you just but it'd be different if Cali 184 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.279 Perry was putting these guys in the league and they were all three star players 185 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.600 that played three years and he really developed them into being great players. Like 186 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.240 for example, when you look at what's going on with the Knicks right now 187 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.279 where they just added another former Villainova player, not a single one of those 188 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.840 four of Nova guys that are now playing for the Knicks that have all become 189 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.600 good NBA players. One of them I think is a great NBA player in 190 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.039 Jalen Brunson Jay Wright. None of those guys were elite recruits. Jay Wright 191 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.120 developed those guys and they didn't play just one year. Jalen Brunson won two 192 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.480 national titles. He was a role player on the first title team that he 193 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.799 played for. So you know, I'm not surprised Cal's doing it. I'd 194 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.840 probably do the same thing about as him. But how much do you think 195 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:28.679 he really is responsible for it? I mean when he sells to families when 196 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.679 he's in the living room, that kind of money that has been generated by 197 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.360 players that played for him. What would he say if a parent said, 198 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.399 yeah, what do you have to do with that? Though, Like that's 199 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.240 NBA, Like the NBA's given him money. My kid's good enough, he'll 200 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.559 be drafted. Heck he probably he'd probably revoked the scholarship right there at the 201 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.519 scholarship offer. Or he'd probably be Cal and have a great response and tell 202 00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.759 him to call one of his players, because that's another part of this man. 203 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.080 When these guys are in the NBA having success even though maybe they didn't 204 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.799 get developed. I mean, look, there are some dudes who were helped 205 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.440 back by Cal. Like Devin Booker should have started for Kentucky. I know 206 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.039 he had weaknesses as a freshman, but you can't sit here and tell me 207 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:13.039 that the Harrison Twins it made sense for those guys to get way more minutes 208 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:18.879 than Tyler Eulis and Devin Booker. I mean, Shake Gildes. Alexander he 209 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.519 didn't really become the guy for them until he had until they realized that he 210 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:28.960 You know that Quade Green was was not good enough like kwad A. Green 211 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.559 was the more hype recruit. He came in, played more minutes and was 212 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.120 the guy. And Shay Guilders Alexander was a lowly four star, which is 213 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.440 an unheard of thing for most Cal recruits, and sure enough he just got 214 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:45.240 snubbed for the NBA MVP Award. The one guy that I can think of 215 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.720 that is currently in the NBA that I will say, and I don't know 216 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:54.960 if it's Cal specifically, but like really developed to being a good college player 217 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.559 at the end, and now as an NBA player, and I don't know 218 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:03.600 how great he is. I'm gonna look up his numbers. Nick Richards couldn't 219 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.080 walk in chew gum at the same time. In his first two years at 220 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.039 Kentucky, I mean, he was bad, and then as a junior he 221 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.440 was really really good. Took a huge jump, like he developed it. 222 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.600 You know, the light turned on for him, as they say, And 223 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.200 I don't know which coach was responsible for that, but now you know he 224 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.080 played in the NBA. He's been in the NBA for the last few years. 225 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:26.039 He was a late second round pick. But this past season he averaged 226 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.279 nine and eight and he's not an elite player, but he's probably going to 227 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.919 get a second contract. And you know, he's somebody that got better. 228 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.159 But all these other dudes that have had elite success in the NBA, I'm 229 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.919 not saying Cal didn't help them along the way, but I kind of feel 230 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.960 like they'd probably still be in the NBA, maybe making the same money if 231 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.279 they never played for him. We'll never know, We'll never know. What 232 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.200 I do know, is he you we need to turn to when it comes 233 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:54.000 to buying and selling your home. That is Edlin and Elin. How about 234 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.000 that? How about that transition? You like that?

They'll make the process as 246 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:45.840 smooth as possible. I've always had the belief that moving in general, everything 247 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.720 that comes with it, buying your house, selling your house, moving all 248 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.759 your crap, closing big words like escrow that I still don't even know what 249 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.879 the hell that means like those kind of things like I don't I don't want 250 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.200 to get lost in that, So I let the folks at Eveland and don't 251 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:00.919 handle it, and they do a great job of it.

How does 254 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.160 Vannette say it? Fine? Nine nine? That was? That was a 255 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.319 golden commercial? Nineteen months ago? By did he only say five to nine 256 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:26.440 nine? Quick realized he did like five nine nine. Nobody's better at cutting 257 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:29.359 commercials than Venetti, though, I gotta say he's got a different voice for 258 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:32.200 commercials than when he's on the air. It's in art what he does with 259 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:37.759 commercials. I mean, how many people could say this because he said it? 260 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.519 And I wish we could find the commercials somewhere in our logs. Maybe 261 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.440 it exists, but the company doesn't exist anymore because they sold He was Mid 262 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:52.200 America's security. It's heroin addicts. They're breaking into your homes? Like who 263 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.680 says that at a commercial? Venetti? And it gets attention and he doubled 264 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.799 down. The story goes like this, he was some one of our former 265 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.519 sales executives was, I guess giving him a hard time about like why are 266 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.279 you why are you saying that like on the radio, like the people have 267 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.079 heroin addicts breaking into your home. And so then the next time he cut 268 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:14.960 a spot for the client, he mentioned that somebody called him out. He's 269 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.480 like, because that's who it is. It's Heroin addicts. They're breaking into 270 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:21.839 your homes. Wake up man. And then he said something like who do 271 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:25.079 you think it is? Some robber with a striped shirt and a mask, 272 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:26.799 like something you see in the old black and white movies or something. I 273 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.319 think the most recent time he came on the show with you, he was 274 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:37.440 talking about tweaking Heroin Addicts downtown. Probably probably he also would just I mean, 275 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:41.000 one of the things I struggle with with commercials is getting him at the 276 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:45.680 right time, because I hate whenever somebody in production, hopefully it's not you, 277 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:51.200 will speed you up or slow you down to hit the exact thirty seconds 278 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.480 for the commercial, because I think you should be able to be arrested for 279 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.400 that. Because you're making me sound like something I don't sound like misrepresentation. 280 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:00.680 But you heard it right, Oh yes, yeah, it's just it, 281 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.680 you know, or you can what I do now, if it's like that 282 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.720 close, I'll just add it like an extra little bit of like a lad 283 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:08.720 half a second here, half a second there, to kind of space it 284 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.799 out a little bit. Yeah, but I mean Venette he didn't need to 285 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:15.759 do that because he would have like his own ad libs in between, like 286 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:21.359 you know, Louis of Bats dollar dollar bears. That's right, dollar bears. 287 00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:22.640 I mean he would just like, you know, just instead of give 288 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:25.559 a little extra two yeah. Yeah, it just you know, I need 289 00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:29.880 I need a second here, two seconds here to make it stretch out to 290 00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.359 be thirty seconds, So let me throw in that's right, or yeah, 291 00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.480 just just little you know Venette saying so he should be an auctioneer. That 292 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.240 that's a little bit of a different. I mean, he's got the auctioneering 293 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.359 is is a is a talent man, I mean, Venette's got talent. 294 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.240 But I don't. I don't even know how some I don't know how somebody's 295 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:51.880 mind can keep up with their mouth when they're doing it. Have you ever 296 00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:53.960 seen it live? Yes, it's it's very weird. So do you know 297 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:59.519 Kevin Harnett, the maniroologists here in town. Yeah, he's also an auctioneer. 298 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.319 Did not know that blew my mind. So I'm a part of an 299 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.119 event every year called the Molly Johnson Foundation Black and Yellow Ball, and Kevin 300 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:08.680 has been close to the organization for a long time and they do an auction 301 00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:15.279 every year to help raise money. And uh, I saw Kevin. I've 302 00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:17.759 ran into him from time to time at u of L bat. You know, 303 00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:21.720 he's a big UFL fan and great guy. And I saw him there 304 00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:23.240 and I, you know, just assumed he was there is like a celebrity. 305 00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:26.640 I mean, he's freaking Kevin Harted. Let's be real here. Then 306 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.599 I realize he's not just m seeing it. He's the auctioneer. And I'm 307 00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:32.440 just like jaw on the floor, like holy crap, Like, not only 308 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.200 did I not see it coming for my man, Kevin Harnet, but he 309 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:38.519 was really good at it. I got sick over here. It's I mean, 310 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:42.480 it's it's insane. Anyways, you're insane if you don't stick with us 311 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:45.400 for the next hour and a half, because we got a lot more coming. 312 00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:48.240 In fact, something that you know, we always like to poke fun 313 00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:52.319 at our rivals. Kentucky's the main rival. I didn't realize how bad of 314 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.759 a year Cincinnati had as an athletic department, And there's still a rival. 315 00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.079 We don't play him anymore, but there's still Cincinnati, And the things I 316 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.079 share with you about how bad they sucked at every sport that mattered this past 317 00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:07.240 year will blow your mind, or maybe it won't. All right, stick 318 00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.480 around coffee and company. Feel about Thorton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety 319 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.200 So I may have to walk something back that I just said five minutes ago, 320 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:19.279 because and I want to thank Dennis who reminded me of this on the 321 00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:25.039 text line, and how about Dennis. Look, Dennis is a guy who 322 00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:27.480 used to we used to ask people if you text in, you know, 323 00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:33.079 put a name next to it, because within the text line the Ellen and 324 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.039 Federal Credit Union text line five two six five three zero seven ninety. You 325 00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:40.759 know, I just feel like instead of saying hey, text or let's you 326 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:44.240 know text line, I mean, sometimes we just make up names for people. 327 00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:48.039 But either way, Dennis's name is still logged in from when he would 328 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:51.319 text the show forever and I haven't heard from this number is saved as Dennis 329 00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:53.119 and it hasn't texted the show in like a year. And a half. 330 00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:56.559 Maybe he just didn't Maybe he didn't like you, John, because I think 331 00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.000 we've worked together about a year and a half and now probably didn't like Kenny. 332 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.440 Pain could have been could be, could be that, but he's he's 333 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.119 texting now, and uh, I kind of forgot about you, Dennis, 334 00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:10.240 welcome back in. I don't know you at all, but you know he 335 00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:15.079 used to text like every day. But anyways, Dennis mentioned that I've contradicted 336 00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:21.559 myself, and he's right because I said whenever Cincinnati did what Cincinnati did and 337 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:25.079 took Scott Saderfield off our hands, I don't know if I could ever consider 338 00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:29.480 them a rival. They are from a historical standpoint, but I don't. 339 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:33.519 I mean, I have nothing but but grace and and and uh, you 340 00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.559 know, I'm thankful for them for doing that. But maybe, you know, 341 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:42.319 if we played them regularly again, which we probably won't, maybe that 342 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:48.640 rivalry of fuel would come back. But I really times still just kind of 343 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:55.400 find myself in disbelief when I consider what Cincinnati did, because I mean, 344 00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.519 who would do that? And they did and I thank them in a major 345 00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:07.119 way. But Cincinnati, they are coming off of a very very rough year. 346 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.880 Athletically in all sports when you consider, like, you know, collectively 347 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:12.799 looking at it. So do you follow the lear Field Cup at all? 348 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:15.559 I do not. Do you know what it is? I think it's kind 349 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.559 of stupid, but whatever, It's still something people throw out there every now 350 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.359 and then. But Field, the lear Field Cup gives you a look at 351 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:30.960 how all of the athletic programs within each within each sport. Let me get 352 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:34.279 the specifics of how they look at it, but the lear Field Director's Cup 353 00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:38.480 basically gives you the top athletic departments from top to bottom, meaning it's not 354 00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:45.079 just one school. But you're good in all sports, and clearly being really 355 00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:48.480 good at certain sports, does you know does in fact you know it helps 356 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:49.519 you if you know what I mean? Like it, if you're really good 357 00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:52.640 at football, that matters a little more than being really good at you know, 358 00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:57.079 tennis or something like that. But Cincinnati was the only Power five school 359 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:04.599 to not be in the top one hundred, and they were two fifty nine. 360 00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:11.599 So they're three hundred and fifty something Division one schools three hundred and sixty 361 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:17.279 something Division one schools. So Cincinnati, again, they're the only Power five 362 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:21.119 that did not finish in the top one hundred and they finished it two fifty 363 00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:30.160 nine. That almost sounds unreal. So they actually they were the only Power 364 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:34.279 five school to miss the postseason in every major team sport baseball was the only 365 00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:38.559 team on their campus to finish its inaugural Big twelve season with a winning record 366 00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:44.720 and conference play. So you know, my response when seeing this earlier today 367 00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:48.039 was yeah, checks out. Here's why that makes sense because that athletic department 368 00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:53.440 is ran by a guy who paid Louisville three point five million dollars to take 369 00:24:53.480 --> 00:25:03.000 Scott Sadderfield off their hands. I mean, maybe Sadfield does end up having 370 00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:04.920 a better year this year than last year, but I wouldn't bank on it. 371 00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:10.440 And I'm not piling on sad I mean, I guess I kind of 372 00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:12.119 am, but you know what I mean, just state in facts, But 373 00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:21.200 dude, what's his name is? Who's Bubba Cunningham? That's the athletic director 374 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:26.000 for Who is it for North Carolina? I knew there was a Bubba cutting 375 00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.000 Dam that was an AD, but I think Cincinnati's AD is also a Cunningham 376 00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.920 unless I'm making it up. And I need to John cunning and I need 377 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.359 to know this because again. I mean, I might drive to Cincinnati one 378 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.000 day and give that Manic a hug and a kiss, because without him, 379 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:44.640 we don't have Jeff Brom. And that's a world I don't want to be 380 00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.079 in, John, You hear me, that's the world I don't want to 381 00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:51.799 be in the world without Jeff Brom leading the Louisville football program sad yep. 382 00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:57.160 And I've about had it. I've about had it with people that are doubting 383 00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:00.599 my man, Jeff Brohm and showing concern. Look, I get it, 384 00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.440 You're always going to be upset when a kid decommits. And there was another 385 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:10.440 d commit yesterday for Louisville and it's Lebron Hill is his name. He committed 386 00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:15.039 like twenty three days ago to Louisville. He's a receiver from I believe the 387 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.680 Uh Yeah, he's from Indiana and he flipped his commitment from Louisville to Purdue. 388 00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:22.720 He is a three star recruit and you know, his commitment to Louisville 389 00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:27.160 didn't last long and now he's going to go play at Purdue unless he changes 390 00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:30.799 his mind like he did at Louisville. With the Louisville commitment, I should 391 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:34.400 say so like losing commit sucks, there's no way around it. But I 392 00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:38.160 can't get I can't give you a reaction that is not I mean again, 393 00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:41.160 I'll give you my reaction to it. But I feel like I may be 394 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:44.839 a little bit in the minority. In fact, maybe I'm a lot in 395 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:49.359 the minority, because I can't act like this. This concerns me. I 396 00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:55.599 just can't, because this doesn't make me feel like Jeff Bram is still not 397 00:26:55.640 --> 00:27:00.319 going to be super successful at a place like Louisville because you know the class 398 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.799 right now, twenty twenty five. Let me let me, let me pull 399 00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.960 up, let me pull up some numbers here. And I hate nerding out 400 00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.279 on recruiting rankings and all that and football because I think it's always been a 401 00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:15.279 rather boring topic for radio. And it doesn't even matter as much now considering 402 00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:18.400 the fact that the portal is you know, is super important. But here 403 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:23.279 here are some facts right now with the recent decommitments for Louisville. They lost 404 00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:26.720 the kid who flipped. In fact, by the way, I don't think 405 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:27.559 I've been on the air. I wasn't on the air when it happened. 406 00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:32.119 I was, I was on my vacation But the kid who Jake Cook, 407 00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:34.279 who decommitted from Louisville and was a big recruit and he got a bump in 408 00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:37.160 rankings and then he got an offer from Ohio State. Well, now he's 409 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.759 going he's already flipped his commitment to Ohio State. And I'll say what I 410 00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:45.480 said the day that happened. That sucks, bummer. You can be upset 411 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:49.680 about it, but just understand Louisville, along with just about every other school 412 00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:53.359 in college football, if they go head to head with Ohio State for recruits, 413 00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:56.200 they're going to lose a lot of those battles and they're going to win 414 00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:00.240 very few of them. So a kid from that area grew up a fan 415 00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:04.400 of Ohio State, commits to Louisville. Then he starts to blow up a 416 00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:10.000 little bit as far as hype buzz star added to his ranking and all that 417 00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:12.359 stuff. Then Ohio State gets involved, they offer him. He flips to 418 00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:17.119 Ohio State. Who are you blaming for that? Who are you mad at 419 00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:22.480 for that? That's inevitable, It just is. And what do you think 420 00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:25.119 of, Well, Jeff's got to find a way to get the nil situation. 421 00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:27.000 Okay, you know you think Ohio State doesn't have more money than you 422 00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:30.680 have. L with anil they have more money than most. They just paid 423 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:34.799 twenty two million dollars for their team, Like no joke. I'm not even 424 00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:38.720 talking about the number of like the amount of money they're going to pay like 425 00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:44.880 everybody else whenever the schools have to start paying through nil and through I guess 426 00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:48.519 their coaches, like collectively through nil and through the university paying coaches. That's 427 00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:52.240 a twenty two million dollar team. So that's just gonna happen. Now, 428 00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:56.920 this kid flipping to Purdue, I mean, maybe not a good look considering 429 00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.960 he's flipping the place that Jeff was just at and isn't good and expected to 430 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:03.440 be the worst team in the Big Ten this year, But he also doesn't 431 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:04.799 have a whole lot of great offers. And I just again, I can't 432 00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:08.160 fake it and act like this. This is a concern for me. But 433 00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:11.079 are here are the facts of right now. With the two guys that de 434 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.960 committed, Louisville now ranks fiftieth in the country in average recruit ranking for this 435 00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:22.359 twenty twenty five class. The other programs that you'll find in that area are 436 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:33.400 Northwestern Indiana, Arizona, pit Cal so that's not a good look. But 437 00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:40.599 to act like these recent decommitments mean that Louisville's going to have a class. 438 00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:42.720 What's happened? And I'm not acting like Louisville has arrived And we now are 439 00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:45.680 these programs that get all of our great recruits late in the process. But 440 00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:48.799 let's be real. Jeff just came off of ten win season and he has 441 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:52.319 momentum. And if they have a good year this year, I wouldn't be 442 00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:55.519 shocked if in the fall there's some more momentum and they start adding four or 443 00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:59.119 five guys that maybe they aren't in on right now, because you know, 444 00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:03.079 they that they haven't added more buzz and hype to the program. You know, 445 00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:10.039 we used to get recruits committed around this time and brag about right now, 446 00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:11.839 top ten class, top ten class, and we would know that eventually 447 00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.559 it's not going to be that because the other big dogs are going to start 448 00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:18.039 adding who they want. Louisll's not one of those big dogs. It's going 449 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:21.200 to start picking up five star after five star. Once, you know, 450 00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:23.839 things slow down a little bit, but the class is far from over. 451 00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.200 And here's the most important factor that I haven't you mentioned yet these rankings don't 452 00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:32.519 matter nearly as much as they used to because you don't have to. I 453 00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:34.119 mean, you still need to. High school recruiting is always going to be 454 00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:38.519 important. You're always going to need to develop young talent and hope to keep 455 00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:42.559 them around now, but it's not it's not as big of a necessity because 456 00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:48.039 you can go get developed players that have already played three to four years of 457 00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:51.960 college football to join you, and Louisville has done that in the last two 458 00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:56.319 seasons where they rank up there their top five in the last two years as 459 00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.359 far as the most transfers added to their team. I don't know if Jeff 460 00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:02.720 wants to stay in that area, but if he does and it works, 461 00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:04.640 sign me up. I'm cool with it. Now. If he wants to 462 00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:10.599 be balanced and have less transfers moving forward and maybe have a you know, 463 00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:14.359 bigger recruiting class and developed, then you know, there's different ways to do 464 00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:21.559 it. But here's the reality. You can have one devastatingly bad recruiting class 465 00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:27.480 that you miss on guys it's small, and the guys you do get or 466 00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:32.119 you know, kind of dominant, the roughs that you hope end up being 467 00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:37.039 really good and that would be a really bad sign years ago. But now 468 00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:38.799 you could do that and it may not matter at all, because if you 469 00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:42.519 go out and you kill it in the portal that same year, it doesn't 470 00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:48.240 matter. I mean, I'm not telling anybody we should be celebrating these losses, 471 00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.559 meaning these guys that decommit and it's a bummer. You never want to 472 00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.119 lose a player. But I can't give you fake energy as far as like 473 00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:02.920 my level of concern. I'm just because I'm not be different if you didn't 474 00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:09.880 have the portal, totally different. All right, let's see, let's let's 475 00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:14.480 let's go ahead and get to our next break here. I was gonna try 476 00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:16.200 to get to something else, but I'll try to do better here with my 477 00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:20.559 clock management. We do need to talk about some of the some of the 478 00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:23.960 storylines we have from the Olympics that are coming up here soon. And I 479 00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:27.359 don't know what it is, but the Olympics used to be I feel like 480 00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:30.599 a much bigger deal, like it would be all anybody would talk about whenever 481 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:35.720 they're approaching, and I just it didn't happen last time. It didn't even 482 00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:37.079 happen. I feel like in twenty sixteen now, last time. They ended 483 00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:39.960 up doing the twenty twenty Olympics in twenty twenty one, which just kind of 484 00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:43.680 made it feel like a waste of time for some reason. So maybe that's 485 00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:46.480 why there wasn't a whole lot of you know, buzz. But I feel 486 00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:50.519 like it's kind of sneaking up on us here. But the Olympics, I've 487 00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:53.759 learned there's been I guess this would be like the fourth Olympic Games that we've 488 00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:59.279 had that have taken place since I've been working in radio in some former fashion. 489 00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:01.440 And of the things you learn about the Olympic process, I mean, 490 00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:06.000 the Olympic gives the Olympics give you, gives you good content outside of like 491 00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:08.480 just the actual results in the metal count and all that kind of stuff. 492 00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:14.119 All right, stick around right here at Sports Talk seven ninety. That's right, 493 00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:19.720 it's coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety. 494 00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:27.839 So I can't believe that there are many many countries that'll have their athletes representing 495 00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:31.240 their country in the Olympic Games coming up here before too long, and they 496 00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:36.039 won't have they won't have air conditioning. But the United States doesn't have to 497 00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:42.240 worry about that. So they the United States, along with Germany, Australia, 498 00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:45.440 Italy, Canada and Britain all have announced that they'd be supplying air conditioners 499 00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:52.200 for their athletes, which, you know, I would assume that where they're 500 00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:55.720 going to be hosting these Olympic athletes at the Olympics Village wherever that is, 501 00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:00.680 that they would be equipped with with air conditioning. But it says here that 502 00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:06.359 organizers in Paris announced plans for athletes rooms to be cool in the Olympic Village 503 00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:12.599 through a system of cooling pipes beneath the floors. I mean, am I 504 00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:16.079 the only one? Again? I'm somebody that really really appreciates air conditioning and 505 00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:21.239 the thought of not having it gives me anxiety because I don't like being hot 506 00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:24.880 and uncomfortable. But I mean, these are Olympic athletes that are representing their 507 00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:30.639 country. It's the Olympic Games. I mean, am I crazy here? 508 00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:32.840 John? Would you have expected them to not have ac No? Not at 509 00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:37.480 all. There's been a lot of weird controversies with this this iteration of the 510 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.159 Olympics. Do you hear about the poop stuff? I was buried to mention 511 00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:44.079 that we'll talk about that in the We'll talk about that in the five o'clock 512 00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:47.400 hour, because that's that's some real weird stuff. But yeah, so it 513 00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:52.440 looks yeah, it says. The Olympic organizers have touted plans to cool rooms 514 00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:57.480 in the athletes Village, which will house more than fifteen thousand Olympians and sports 515 00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:00.679 officials over the course of the games, using a system of cooling pipes underneath 516 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:07.400 the floor. Is The average high in Paris on August first over the years 517 00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:14.360 has been seventy nine degrees, and the objective is that these pipes are to 518 00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:19.480 keep the rooms between seventy three and seventy nine degrees. The rooms will also 519 00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:24.159 be equipped with fans. I mean, I don't know, man, Like 520 00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:30.000 seventy nine is not terrible, but it's pretty bad for yeah, I mean, 521 00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:35.320 but it's not air conditioning, it's pipes. Yeah, So like what 522 00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:37.239 do you what would you consider, like, all right, this sucks, 523 00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:40.880 this is really hot. Anything more than seventy five. I'm with you, 524 00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:45.119 and that's that's that. Maybe it might make me sound I don't know, 525 00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:50.079 wimpy. I'm sure people that are older, that have been around are used 526 00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:53.039 to hotter temperatures than that for their air conditioning. But I mean I keep 527 00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:58.880 my house on seventy. Yeah, we do too, and I I, 528 00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:00.159 you know, shout out to those that save a lot of money on air 529 00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:05.599 conditioning on utilities because they can keep it a lot warmer. But when it's 530 00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:07.480 that hot, I mean seventy, I mean we used to keep it at 531 00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:10.440 times on sixty eight, you know, depending upon how hot it was, 532 00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:15.719 But now we've kind of kept it as a cool seventy or seventy one with 533 00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:17.880 fans on in the house. That usually does the trick. And I make 534 00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:21.199 up for it in the winter, I keep the house on sixty five. 535 00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:23.199 In the clubs. Oh dude, I same here, like the same here. 536 00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:29.719 We're on the same page. I could have the heat at sixty and 537 00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:31.239 just throw a bunch of blankets on and I'd be fine. But I know 538 00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:35.719 my kids and my wife were free, so we don't do that. But 539 00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:38.920 we had an airbnb when we stayed at Saint Charles, Missouri last week, 540 00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:44.840 on the way to our trip, and this really irritated me. It was 541 00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:49.239 a really cool airbnb. It was in an old brick building that didn't have 542 00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:52.280 a whole lot of ventilation, and they locked, you know, the hosts 543 00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:55.639 had a sign when you walk in next to the thermostat they locked it at 544 00:36:55.719 --> 00:37:00.519 seventy four and didn't let you cool it off any lower. Like it was 545 00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:04.320 locked. You couldn't go lower than that, and it was really hot in 546 00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:07.199 there. But what really irritated me is when we got there, it was 547 00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:10.960 on seventy eight because they hadn't had somebody renting it the day before, and 548 00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:14.480 I'm thinking, how do you expect, like, you know, this won't 549 00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:19.360 cool off until you know, late at night probably, And it says if 550 00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:21.440 you leave it, you know, if you have it on seventy four, 551 00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:25.280 you use all fans, you should be comfortable. Well, the biggest fan 552 00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:28.960 in the in the place, which wasn't a big place, you know, 553 00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:31.039 the main fan in the main area, if you have it on high, 554 00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:35.679 it was moving around like it was about to fly off the off the ceiling 555 00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:37.159 and you know, kill somebody, so we couldn't leave the fan on. 556 00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:39.519 I just irritated me, But it was also one of those things where I'm 557 00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:45.440 thinking to myself, it's just a me thing, like I'm and I've always 558 00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:49.159 been fortunate to where I've had air conditioning, like in car in cars growing 559 00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:52.760 up in my home to where when I'm in a when I'm in an indoorse 560 00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:57.599 somewhere and it's seventy eight seventy nine degrees. I mean, I guess you 561 00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:00.360 could say it's accurate that I'm soft and not tough, but also like that's 562 00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:05.199 not normal for me. Therefore I'm uncomfortable. That might be a hot take. 563 00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:08.760 Maybe it won't give it to me. I don't like airbnbs. That's 564 00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:14.519 first ever stayed one, because I've not had an experience exactly with what you're 565 00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:16.639 talking about. But it's just it's just kind of awkward. Oh hell yeah, 566 00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:21.679 it's be in a hotel or an end if I'm going on vacations, 567 00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:23.679 like somewhere where you know, you've got your own space. Dude, we 568 00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:28.239 cannot be more on the same page. The idea of the airbnb's are cool, 569 00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:30.039 but just being in that one, I felt like, all right, 570 00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:32.519 I'm in a stranger's home. This is weird to me. That's just what 571 00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:35.760 I felt like. I just don't get what I mean. I get it 572 00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:37.880 like there's people who make money off of it, and that's a good thing 573 00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.639 for those people, but I don't get why it's become so popular. Well, 574 00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:44.920 because hotels are pretty plain, and I guess an airbnb you could be 575 00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:47.679 like an you know, personal it's a residential type thing. And but I 576 00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:52.119 like, you know, i'd always prefer a hotel over an airbnb, but 577 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:53.719 you know, and I would. I don't know why, but like if 578 00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:59.960 I'm if I'm at an airbnb, I wouldn't do being on where I was. 579 00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:00.599 It's like, I don't know something about a hotel. I feel a 580 00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:04.760 little more safe because that's like everybody's there, we're all cute. Yeah, 581 00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:07.880 we're all staying at a place because we're you know, not in our homes, 582 00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:12.519 professional staying place. But you know, my wife found an airbeit it 583 00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:16.159 was a cool spot where we were. It was convenient, But like even 584 00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:19.880 laying on the couch that night, I'm just thinking, like, man, 585 00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:22.920 I don't know, like hotels, you can say the same exact thing, 586 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:25.159 right like who knows bugs? Yeah, yeah, ive ever heard that experience. 587 00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:28.559 Obviously, who knows who was there the night before and all that, 588 00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:30.840 But I don't know, just really changing the sheets that got h I mean, 589 00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:31.679 I had a weird thing like what have they got a camera in here? 590 00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:35.440 And and I shouldn't think that I have no reason to think that they 591 00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:37.880 would. But I just I'd never had that thought in a hotel, and 592 00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:39.719 I guess the same thing could happen and I wouldn't know. But this is 593 00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:42.719 a little bit more on the AC stuff. It says the according to the 594 00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:46.360 International Energy Agency, fewer than one in ten households in Europe have air conditioning, 595 00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:50.440 and the numbers in pairs are lower than that. We're just a bunch 596 00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:53.079 of pain, Yeah, we're not. We're spoiled, says that the study. 597 00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:58.119 The study said that that of the one point six billion AC units in 598 00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:01.159 use across the globe in twenty sixteen, more than half were in China. 599 00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:07.000 In the United States, the entire European Union had over had around one hundred 600 00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:10.639 million, So five hundred and seventy million in China, three hundred and seventy 601 00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:15.719 five million in the United States, and around one hundred million in the entire 602 00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:19.800 European Union. So that's pretty telling as far as how different it is in 603 00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:22.440 these different cultures. All right, let's talk about the Louisville Men's clinic. 604 00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:29.039 Ladies and gentlemen, I mean ladies. Maybe you can send your man to 605 00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:31.000 the louis Men's clinic and give him a hint if maybe he's not performing in 606 00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:34.800 the bedroom. I wouldn't advise doing that. That could be a sensitive thing. 607 00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:37.320 But when I said ladies and gentlemen, I don't really think about it, 608 00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:40.039 but I guess I could be talking to ladies and gentlemen because of that 609 00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:45.159 reason. But specifically I'm talking to the fellas right here because I know testosterone 610 00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:49.159 is something that's very needed. I didn't realize that until something was off, 611 00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:52.480 and I later learned that it was because my testosterone levels were not where they 612 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:54.360 needed to be for somebody my age. They were way off and they're not 613 00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:59.280 anymore because I'm now getting testosterone treatment at the Louis of Men's Clinic, and 614 00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:01.639 it's not, you know, it's not as if it's turned me into like, 615 00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:07.079 you know, some guy who's just you know, oozing testosterone and I'm 616 00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:10.880 you know, clearly I'm not the manliest of men. But I feel better 617 00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:14.679 after workouts. I get more out of it. I've lost a lot of 618 00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:17.280 the belly flab. I feel like I'm able to add muscle a little bit 619 00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:22.079 more effectively, and I have more energy, and it's been very beneficial. 620 00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:25.280 So I thank them in a major way, and I encourage fellas to check 621 00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:28.480 them out.
