He was five oh 20 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:07.079 tuesdaying yesterday. And that's right, I'll ask you. I mean, 21 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.319 it's tough to know, because I doubt you were out there, 22 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.640 you know, just auditing the facility to. 23 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:13.920 See who all was there that was local. 24 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.599 But I do think that just judging on I guess 25 00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:22.879 mostly Facebook, maybe Instagram. I feel like the people like 26 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.120 that I'm friends with or maybe not that I'm like 27 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.519 actually friends with, but you know internet friends with. 28 00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:29.319 There was a mass. 29 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.799 Flood of everybody posting yesterday as if like the locals 30 00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:35.680 kind of have embraced all right, yes this is our day. 31 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:37.200 It did it feel like it? 32 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.120 I'm not sure how you'd be able to tell, but yes, 33 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:40.799 it certainly seemed like it. From all the folks that 34 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:42.480 I know that they're going to go out to the 35 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:44.280 track for a day that's not Oaks and not Derby. 36 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.920 They made five oh Tuesday the local day. Yeah, I agree. 37 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.239 And there I think there was maybe even a school 38 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.680 out there, because I know that they have like buses 39 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:54.799 and stuff like that, but saw a bunch of kids 40 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.079 and a couple adults getting off a bus and they 41 00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.719 were all dressed nice. And I'm pretty sure like local 42 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.200 school were there or any sort of like youth organization 43 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.239 of some sort. But yeah, I think I saw the 44 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:07.920 same thing too with a lot of people that follow 45 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:08.800 on social media. 46 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:10.919 That was the day that they were out. 47 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.599 I think lowellvillions have embraced the five oh Tuesday now 48 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.520 because remember it used to be well from what I understand, 49 00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:20.560 it used to be the Oaks and then that got 50 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.159 kind of overtaken. Then it went to Derby, and then 51 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:24.439 that got overtaken, and. 52 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:25.960 Then they just said the hell with Wednesday, We're gonna 53 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.120 make it Tuesdays. Just completely said Wednesday. 54 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.479 So I think when I started going to Oaks. I've 55 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.159 been to Oaks probably every year for the last I 56 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.240 don't know, seventeen eighteen years. I mean, I could have 57 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:38.879 missed one, but I feel like I feel like I 58 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.840 would remember that yees, so I would go just as 59 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.360 you know, just go to have fun. And then we've 60 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.280 done the show there sometimes and then I've also taken 61 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:48.319 the day off to go out. 62 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:48.800 And just enjoy it. 63 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:50.879 So we do Oaks, and I feel like for since 64 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:52.879 since I've been doing it, you know, roughly the last 65 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.719 fifteen plus years, for the most part, I feel like 66 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.120 it is it's it's Derby Eve, right like it Clearly 67 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.759 it's called Oaks Day because of the Kentucky Oaks Race, 68 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.719 but it does kind of feel like, you know, sort 69 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.479 of a matinee because it is not a whole lot 70 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.639 different than what you see on Derby if of course, 71 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.120 you know, it's nice outside, and you know, I just 72 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.719 think we've had terrible luck with Oaks, So sometimes it's like, 73 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.360 you know, I can't really tell if it seems as 74 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:20.919 if it's people from all over the world or not. 75 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.800 But yeah, it continued to grow as a day that 76 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.039 clearly was not Derby. Didn't have the same energy, didn't 77 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.120 have the same feel right, but it you know, it 78 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.400 doesn't feel like it, you know. So I'm glad that 79 00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.520 we have a day here for locals and it's Bibo Tuesday, 80 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:37.039 and I'm glad you were able to get out there. Yeah, 81 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.560 have a good time, looking like a million bucks in 82 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.639 the nice suit. I know you and City were out 83 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:44.120 there just you know, having a. 84 00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:44.800 Ball in Kentucky. 85 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.800 Yeah, we had a good time. And what's cool is 86 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.879 I guess they're probably a little bit more I hope 87 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:52.879 I don't get anybody in trouble for this, but like 88 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.240 they're more leaning on like where you can like walk 89 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.120 around anywhere. If you got like a ticket, you can 90 00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.400 just kind of go post up because not like everyone there. 91 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:01.199 I don't know if they. 92 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.240 Sell tickets to any of the pre ones like five 93 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.680 oh Tuesday Wednesday or Thirby on the brand news stands 94 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.800 that they just built. But like there wasn't any people 95 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.439 over there. It felt like there was a lot of people. 96 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.719 Well when you looked up into the stands, I don't know, 97 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:16.759 it wasn't and and you heard it, but it didn't 98 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.040 feel crowded like you know, obviously a derby was. But 99 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.800 they just kind of let you walk around like wherever, 100 00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:24.120 as long as you're not going up to like the 101 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.680 millionaire's row or like the suite. If you're just kind 102 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:28.839 of in the grand stand area, you can get on 103 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:30.639 down to like where the rails are and see like 104 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.920 the training horses walk by. That's what we ended up doing, 105 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.480 and just getting a closer look at the at the horses. 106 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:36.160 It's pretty cool. 107 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:38.519 Well good I uh, I'm glad you had a good time. 108 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.000 Glad you want some money on the on some races. 109 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.759 Good buck good Day went up fifty bucks yesterday. 110 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.800 So we've got we've got race six at Churchill coming 111 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.120 up here in fifteen minutes to post. And I'm tp yeah, 112 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.639 I'm going to uh, I'm gonna pick a. I'm gonna 113 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.639 pick one, okay, and you you know, you can do 114 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.439 the same if you'd like, and we'll see, we'll see 115 00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:59.800 how this thing plays out. I haven't uh, I mean, 116 00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.519 I'm looking at this for the first time right now, 117 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.439 So I'll get the table set and get us you know, 118 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.160 up and running here, and then we'll dive back and 119 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.639 listen to this race before we take our first break. 120 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.120 That should time out pretty uh, pretty perfectly, to be 121 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.800 honest with you. So yeah, look the weather. We need 122 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.879 to get to the weather really quickly though, because I today, 123 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.199 like right now as we walk in in downtown Louisville, 124 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:23.319 it's beautiful outside. Yesterday it looked throughout the evening for sure, 125 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.279 maybe even late afternoon, like it was about to get nasty, 126 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.680 like it was about to go down, and I don't 127 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.040 think it ever really did. So what I worry about 128 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.639 is that we've, like the weather that was supposed to 129 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.600 be really bad for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, some you know Friday. 130 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.399 Actually it wasn't even supposed to be bad Friday until now. 131 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.720 So it's like it's delayed. The rain that was supposed 132 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.680 to be here has decided to drag its feet. And 133 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.040 what looked as if, Okay, we're gonna have a wet week, 134 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:52.800 but man, when we get to third or when we 135 00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.600 get to Friday and Saturday, we should be in the clear, 136 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.279 and it doesn't look like that as much right now. 137 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.319 But again, they were wrong pretty often, and this is 138 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.360 one of those things where I hope that they're I 139 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.360 hope that they're wrong, because you know, you want good 140 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.839 weather as we get closer to Two Oaks and to Derby. 141 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.240 But yeah, yes, yesterday it didn't show much of anything 142 00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.879 in the forecast as far as being rainy and wet. 143 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.360 On Friday or Saturday, it didn't look great, cloudy. And 144 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.639 now we've got a few showers. It looks like for 145 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:26.519 Friday and Saturday, couple of showers. So again, we'll see, 146 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.240 we'll see how it plays out. But look, it's one 147 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:30.959 of those things you can't control. We're just we're at 148 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.759 the mercy of what other whatever Mother Nature decides to do. 149 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.279 And you know, she's not been kind to us as 150 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.079 of late. When it comes to the brutal winter. We 151 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:42.519 had all the rain, I mean, tornadoes, we had the 152 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.759 wildest winter in a long long time, coldest I feel like, 153 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.600 and then again flooding tornadoes. 154 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.319 I mean, we're due. You owe us one, mother Nature. 155 00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:54.800 You would think that, but you would also think, like 156 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.399 the what the year that we've had in weather, There's 157 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.720 no way we make it out of Derby nice. 158 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.879 Right, I mean like we should all like just consider 159 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.360 it as a blessing if we do, in fact end 160 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:07.839 up making it through the weekend where it ends up 161 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.680 not you know, not being nasty. But again, we'll see 162 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:12.759 how it plays out, all right. So there's a lot 163 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:14.560 I want to get into over these next few hours. 164 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.439 We'll kind of keep the Derby week theme going. I 165 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.519 do want to take a look at the celebrity packed 166 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.240 lineup that's been revealed for the Barnstable Brown Kentucky Derby 167 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:24.800 Eve Gala. 168 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:26.319 The big there's a lot of big parties. 169 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.399 I feel like every year there's a new one that's 170 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.439 kind of you know, the place to be that has 171 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.399 some celebrities. But the Barnstable Party has been going on 172 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.639 for a long long time. And I think a trend 173 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.720 that I was suspecting is now confirmed, and that is 174 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:44.480 that there's a few people that, like, I'm not really 175 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.519 sure if I would classify them as you know, like 176 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:52.680 big celebrities, at least not now, but they get the 177 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.079 invite like many many years ago, and they just keep 178 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.399 coming back. Like there's some names on here that you're 179 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:00.399 gonna be familiar with, and there's some names on here 180 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:05.120 that you'll probably say I've heard that name. Why do 181 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.040 I know that name? Oh yeah, he was like a 182 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.360 he was the you know, he had a he had 183 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:12.480 a prominent role in a nineties comedy and then you know, 184 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:14.560 never was heard from again. But he came to the 185 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.279 Derby in nineteen ninety seven and he you know, maybe 186 00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:19.040 there's maybe that's the thing, like if you get invited 187 00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.199 as a celebrity, you know, to attend and really just 188 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.839 add some some some flavor to the to the to 189 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.079 the guest list, like maybe it's just a given that 190 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.360 you like, you know, when you accept it, it's going 191 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:30.879 to be a never ending thing. 192 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.519 Like you know, Travis Tritt, my guy is. 193 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.360 You know, he's never missed Derby and he's never missed 194 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.679 this party, So shout out to him. Have you seen 195 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.799 the list yet? I don't want you to look at 196 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.120 it if you haven't, because I want to. 197 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:45.200 I want to. I want to know I haven't, Okay, because. 198 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:47.279 I could already probably tell you three or four people 199 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:48.559 that I know are going to be there. Then tell 200 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:53.080 me Joey Fatone, Uh, he's always been there. Let me 201 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.200 see if he's on the list. Did he make the cut? Yeah, 202 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.759 Joey Fatone's there and he's you know, he's in sync. Like, 203 00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.840 let's be real, but he's the perfect example of what 204 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:01.600 I'm talking about. 205 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.480 Yes, like he's not like there's a lot of people 206 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:06.200 visually like that. 207 00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.279 He could walk into their their box at the track 208 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:12.480 and they might kind of know that guy. But right, 209 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.120 is that the guy from Backstreet Boys? Maybe it was 210 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.679 maybe it was LFO, Like you know, you know what 211 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.559 I'm saying, like, it's look, there's nothing wrong with holding 212 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:21.759 on to it as long as you can. And look, 213 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:23.240 if you've got the invite that means you can come, 214 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:23.879 you can show up. 215 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:24.639 That must be nice. 216 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.799 You're right about Joey Fatone. I'm scanning the list here 217 00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.679 because there is one that. Again I'm not trying to 218 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.159 pick on anybody, because some of these people aren't necessarily 219 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.679 celebrities globally, but they were like briefly here locally and 220 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:39.960 they've just really kind of hung onto that. But uh, 221 00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:43.120 boys to men, are they on here because they've been 222 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:44.840 coming for they've been coming. 223 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:45.080 Back to this thing. 224 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.759 Yeah, they're here there there could be once again so 225 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.039 for men now anyways, well we'll get back into that 226 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:51.480 uh a little bit later on. 227 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:53.080 But again, so what's his name? 228 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.000 I actually we ran into him a couple of years 229 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.080 ago at the barn Stable Brown Party. I was stout 230 00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:00.600 there as just it's around, like big part haven't been 231 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:02.600 but like there's a right car and people go up 232 00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:04.480 and just stand at the right corse chef fan. So 233 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.240 I've been up there and I interacted with Anna Nicole 234 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:08.000 Smith's husband. 235 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:09.360 What's his name, Larry. 236 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:12.240 Oh Birkhead Burkhead, Yes, yes, Larry Burkhead, And I thought 237 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:13.399 that was the coolest thing ever. 238 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.799 Yeah, that's he's He is someone that I don't know now, 239 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.039 like if his name came up in conversation to people 240 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.080 not from here, if they would make the connection. But 241 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.279 you know, I think anybody who's from here that is 242 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.679 relatively close to our age or older, they know that 243 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:30.919 he was the one Mary Tanna Nicole Smith, and obviously 244 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:32.759 that was at a time when she was, you know, 245 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.000 very much in the public eye. So we'll take a 246 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:36.600 look at the list a little bit later on. As 247 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.320 I mentioned, we're going to try to keep this Derby 248 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.799 Derby Week theme kind of going on. I mean, this 249 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.519 is one of those things where when you have an 250 00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.519 event like this going on in your in your city. 251 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.720 You can feel the energy, you can feel the buzz. 252 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:49.840 I mean, I wouldn't call it a distraction, but like 253 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.799 it's it's just what we do around here. So you know, 254 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:54.960 we're not going to break down every race and really 255 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.960 get into, you know, the the weeds of things when 256 00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:59.879 it comes to horse racing, because one, I just would 257 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:01.639 be capable of doing that, and I also don't think 258 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:04.519 that would be great radio. But it'd be foolish to 259 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.279 just not you know, carry carry carry the vibe that 260 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.679 is Derby season around here. So that was a really 261 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:14.000 long winded, poor attempt for me to tell you that 262 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:15.399 I got a lot of stuff I want to get 263 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.320 into today. But I know that if I, if I 264 00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:21.039 set it up now and really really you know, make it, 265 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:22.679 make it a point to tell you that this is 266 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.480 why you should stick around, because we're going to do 267 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.639 this or that, Like you would think, like, man, this 268 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:27.919 guy really sucks at his job. 269 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:28.960 That's what he wants to talk about. 270 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.799 He's a sports radio host and he's got three hours 271 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.559 and he wants to talk about this. Well, yes I do, 272 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.879 because I like to mix it up. So one day 273 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:38.440 I won't have that that crutch. I won't have that 274 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.080 that I guess insecurity because I like to have fun. 275 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:41.879 We like to mix it up. 276 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:43.440 I think if you come back to this place each 277 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:45.799 and every day, it means you you know, you like 278 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:47.679 it to an extent, or maybe you hateless and whatever 279 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:49.440 it is, you keep coming back, and that's all we want. 280 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.159 But you know, to set it up, like, hey, here 281 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.639 we go, you don't want to miss this. We've got 282 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.559 you know, we'll talk about you know, we'll draft fast 283 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:00.759 food items like we did last week. You know, it's fun, 284 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:04.000 it's good stuff. So how about this just stick around. 285 00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:05.559 You never know what we're going to get into, but 286 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.879 I can guarantee you we're going to try to have 287 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.799 some fun and if not, you know, come back tomorrow. 288 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:11.480 We'll try it again. 289 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:13.519 I mean, that's I mean, there's only one way to 290 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:15.200 you know, to make it happen, and that's to keep 291 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:17.279 trying until it happens. All right. If you guys want 292 00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:20.159 to listen to us wherever you're going, whatever you're doing, 293 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:22.440 you can always listen live on the IHET radio app. 294 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.960 Also listen live at seven ninety Louisville dot com and 295 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:28.559 we'll let you know how you can be a part 296 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:30.759 of the show as well a little bit later on. 297 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.360 But the Bill Belichick stuff, I mean, we talked about 298 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.399 it yesterday, and it's been a story that I think 299 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.840 has had new layers to it every day since that 300 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.840 CBS Sunday Morning interview was released where. 301 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:43.759 He looked like a hostage. 302 00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:47.360 He had his girlfriend off to the side, and you know, 303 00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:50.440 without even really saying anything, you could tell she's she 304 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:53.600 seems to be running things, or at least, you know, 305 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.960 making it appear that she's running things. And I mean, 306 00:12:58.120 --> 00:12:59.759 you've got Charles Barkley, who was just on the dam 307 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.279 Pat earlier today saying that he considers Belichick a friend, 308 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:05.919 he's worried about him, like genuinely like that. That to 309 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:08.399 me is I mean, I know Chuck can say whatever, 310 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:12.159 and you know, it's just Chuck being Chuck. He's one 311 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.919 of the bigger personalities in all of sports. But I 312 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:16.519 don't think he'd say that if he didn't mean it. 313 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:20.720 So the latest is that she was apparently the reason 314 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.559 that they were gonna do hard knocks on UNC Football 315 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:26.240 with Belichick, and then they decided not to. It sounds 316 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:29.240 like it came down to her not wanting to do it, 317 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:33.159 unless they really profiled and featured her and I mean, 318 00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:36.960 I mean this screams that this is a young, attractive 319 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.360 woman that is taking advantage of an old man. I 320 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:43.159 mean that's what this is senor abuse. Yeah, I mean 321 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.200 like it's you know, Belichick, I think he's of the 322 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.360 belief that this type of a story and you know, 323 00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:54.639 his his his image now is that, Yeah, he's he's 324 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.759 the you know, he's the pretty lifeless football coach that 325 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.919 doesn't have a big boom personality, but you know, he 326 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.519 ain't dead yet so much so that he's got this young, 327 00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:08.720 hot snack that says, you know, his girlfriend. Like I 328 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:11.360 think he's trying to appeal to Like, I think it's 329 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.080 a desperation thing for Belichick that he wants to appeal 330 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.679 to the younger crowd better than he would if he 331 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:20.440 had the same image that he did when he coached 332 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.639 the Patriots. And I guess she's she's the piece that 333 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:27.559 can you know, help him do that. But Carolina has 334 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:31.159 to regret this at this point because Belichick NFL super 335 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:34.200 bowls out the rear end like he's super successful, he's 336 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.279 a legend. But timing is everything in life, and I 337 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:42.559 think timing of Belichick coaching college now is the worst 338 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:44.879 timing possible. And I just think if you're going to 339 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:47.440 go get an NFL coach that has a bunch of 340 00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.919 you know, Super Bowl rings, that has always had success 341 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:54.480 by really being feared, right, he's a dictator that that's 342 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:57.120 really how he seems to operate. That's not really the 343 00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.360 way to do it in college anymore. And oh, by 344 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:03.120 the way, now, the biggest story other than you know, 345 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.039 Belichick being in college at Carolina is that he's got 346 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.720 a twenty four year old girlfriend who won't get out 347 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.320 of the way and they've had to release a statement. 348 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.120 Carolina has the school, which we can get into that later. 349 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.080 Because anybody claiming that this is ridiculous, they're making this 350 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.639 bigger than it is. It's being stretched. It's fabricated, fake news. 351 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:27.720 I mean, like what, let's let's let's just for a 352 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:31.080 moment hit pause and realize we are here operating in 353 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:34.840 the real world and we do have a level of 354 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.720 perception and you know, self awareness. What did you think 355 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.000 this story would be, right? What did you think was 356 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:45.519 going to be the reaction from a seventy three year 357 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.399 old man dating a twenty four year old woman, like 358 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:51.679 and it being Bill Belichick like it's just you still 359 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:54.080 can't make you can't make it up, so we can 360 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.799 get into that. Also, uh, there are a lot of 361 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:01.759 players still in the portal, and I don't know if 362 00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:06.039 it's just because the portal's closed. And the coverage of 363 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:10.720 recruitment when it comes to transfers is you know, it's 364 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:13.399 not at all the same as when you were back 365 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:15.679 in the day only tracking high school kids because it's 366 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:18.279 a fast moving thing and it really comes down to 367 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:24.919 opportunity meaning playing time and money. So Louisville still has 368 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.600 scholarships to give. And again I think we got the 369 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.960 indication yesterday with Pat Kelsey out there on the backside. 370 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:33.919 We had some sound for yesterday of him talking about 371 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.200 just the whole experience and also just you know, having 372 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:39.279 a horse named after him. But Jody Dimmling had a 373 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:42.320 ride up over at Cardinal Authority that had some quotes 374 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.039 from Pat in regards to James Scott that certainly made 375 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.039 it sound as if James. 376 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.960 Scott is not that that's over, like it's it's done. 377 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:53.120 But as expected, he also just talked about how much 378 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:55.000 he loves that kid, will always love him, will always 379 00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:56.919 be there for him, like, I just that's the the 380 00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.159 James Scott thing. I know I said this a lot 381 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:01.480 last week when that news broke, but he to me, 382 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:03.120 I feel like it is going to be a name 383 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.599 that that that pops up when I ask myself, or 384 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:10.160 maybe I start to think to think to myself, Oh yeah, 385 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.640 I mean, you got to know that players can leave, 386 00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:14.799 but this guy will never leave, no way, because you know, 387 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:17.400 why would he? Well that's James Scott. I mean I 388 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:19.319 guess you could say, well, he wants more playing time 389 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.119 and you're bringing in a new big you got two 390 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.640 coming off injury. Maybe the money's not there. So like 391 00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:27.920 maybe maybe I don't know James Scott the way I 392 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:29.279 thought I did, and trust me, I don't know him 393 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:31.799 on a personal level. But I just I assume that 394 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:35.240 because of how close he and Pat Kelsey are that 395 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.799 it just wouldn't be something he would ever consider playing 396 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.279 for somebody else. And you know I was wrong, But again, 397 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.240 Louisville's got some some some scholarships. 398 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:46.559 And I would imagine they got some inn aile money. 399 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:49.000 I mean, James Scott, maybe it was money that that 400 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:51.319 was a factor in him deciding to go elsewhere to 401 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:55.680
