00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.039
<v Speaker 2>John Alden alongside today taking you up until six o'clock.

10
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:50.320
<v Speaker 2>So I've thrown out the first pitch at the Bats

11
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>game tonight, and I just happened to see something they're

12
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.119
<v Speaker 2>doing that I think is I think is pretty cool,

13
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.560
<v Speaker 2>and I'm just curious to see how effective it is

14
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 2>in regards to season ticket sales. So apparently they sent

15
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.239
<v Speaker 2>out an email to their season ticket holders that they're

16
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.120
<v Speaker 2>going to have a renewal party on September fourteenth, uh

17
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.319
<v Speaker 2>to you know, for their season ticket holders to renew

18
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 2>and it's really just a big party, and you know,

19
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 2>they do it, do it, do it big for those

20
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>that support them by purchasing season tickets, which of course

21
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure the Bats greatly appreciate those that they purchase

22
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>season tickets, But you can RSVP for the you know,

23
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:32.599
<v Speaker 2>for the for the party and missus wild that if

24
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 2>you hit a home run, they're gonna let you. Yes,

25
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 2>it's take the field for your very own batting session

26
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:40.560
<v Speaker 2>while you're there at the party, and if you hit

27
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 2>a home run, your twenty twenty five season tickets are

28
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.640
<v Speaker 2>on them. I'm cure. And again, maybe I can ask

29
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 2>the folks at the Bats tonight whenever I get out

30
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:50.920
<v Speaker 2>there to to slug or field. But I'm curious have

31
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.079
<v Speaker 2>they done this before, and as anybody ever got free

32
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.599
<v Speaker 2>season tickets because they were able to hit one out

33
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>of the park. I mean, I feel like they'd be

34
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>really hard to do for anyone. But I don't know,

35
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>like if it's just if somebody's just loft in it

36
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>to you and it's not like you got to actually

37
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:06.840
<v Speaker 2>take a pitch from somebody that you know is within

38
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 2>the Reds organization pitching for the bats. But you know,

39
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be shocked if there's a couple of people

40
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 2>maybe that that could could do that. I mean, I

41
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.560
<v Speaker 2>would assume they'd have to play baseball, meaning like they

42
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 2>probably have had a career playing baseball in college. I

43
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 2>don't know, maybe even semi you know, professionally in the

44
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 2>minor leagues or whatnot. But I think it's cool when

45
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 2>when professional sports franchises do things like that, because even

46
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>if it's not like, even if they know, hey, nobody's

47
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna hit it out, there's enough people that will give

48
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.240
<v Speaker 2>it a shot and try and if you got him there,

49
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:38.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, and they're around, you know, even if they

50
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:39.719
<v Speaker 2>don't hit a home run, maybe they'll still end up

51
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>buying and renewing their season tickets. Of all the things

52
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.759
<v Speaker 2>in sports that like I know I can't do, which

53
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 2>I can't do much of anything, to be honest with you,

54
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 2>but like hitting a hitting a baseball from a you know,

55
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.639
<v Speaker 2>legitimate pitcher, the guy that's you know, pitching for the

56
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.919
<v Speaker 2>for the bats, I don't think I would ever be

57
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 2>able to make contact with the ball. And I don't

58
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 2>think that's I don't feel like I'm in the minority

59
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 2>if like most people who have never played baseball even

60
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean, I've never played baseball at any

61
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>level competitively. But like I think even if you played baseball,

62
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>like in high school twenty years ago, fifteen years ago.

63
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:18.800
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that would be really hard to do,

64
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.560
<v Speaker 2>scoring on like a G League player, Like, if a

65
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 2>G League player is guarding you, like, could you score? Like,

66
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, trying to the normal average joe that might

67
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 2>have played sports competitively, but not at a level where you're,

68
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, chasing a career in that sport. I feel

69
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 2>like there's a lot of average jos that you know,

70
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>back in their day, probably were not nearly as good

71
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:41.759
<v Speaker 2>as they thought they were, but they feel like they

72
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.479
<v Speaker 2>could do that, and I think they'd be humbled. I'm

73
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>somebody that is well aware if I tried to step

74
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 2>onto the field the court with an athlete that you know,

75
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 2>that's their livelihood, that's what they do, I would be

76
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>embarrassed in a major way, and I think most people would.

77
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>But John, don't you think there's some people out there

78
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 2>that just assume they could do it.

79
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I hate to name drop it. Billy Relig would

80
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 3>probably say he could do it.

81
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 2>You're so right, But what made you think of Billy?

82
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 3>Because for some reason, I remember the story you brought up.

83
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 3>I believe this is years ago. You told me he

84
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 3>was filling in for you, and he said he could

85
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 3>outrun what's the guy's name, famous football player. Oh, it

86
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.399
<v Speaker 3>could be anybody obviously famous football.

87
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 2>It was a UK player, was a UK. It was

88
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 2>a UK as a form. I think, gosh, I'm having

89
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm having really weird deja vous. I feel like it

90
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.600
<v Speaker 2>might have been a former UK and Billy might be listening.

91
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he can tell us. But Billy, it was a

92
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>former UK football player that hadn't been away from Kentucky

93
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:36.160
<v Speaker 2>football for a while. I mean, I think he might

94
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 2>have been out of school maybe three four years, and

95
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.040
<v Speaker 2>he was I think helping out with like coverage of

96
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.680
<v Speaker 2>UK football for KSR or something, and Billy thought he

97
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 2>could beat him in a race. And I don't remember

98
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.240
<v Speaker 2>if it ever happened. And think it might have been

99
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Timms, who, by the way, was like a speedster.

100
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.720
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know. And by the way, if Billy

101
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.079
<v Speaker 2>did in fact try this and beat him, we'd all

102
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 2>know about it because he'd still be talking about it

103
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 2>right now.

104
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:58.360
<v Speaker 3>He would be Yeah.

105
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Billy also is the guy who the first day I

106
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 2>met him, he thought he would be able to get

107
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.839
<v Speaker 2>Jennifer Lawrence's number if he actually got a chance to

108
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 2>see her so many years ago. He was training to

109
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker 2>become a producer. He had just got out of WKU,

110
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 2>and you know, a young confident And I love Billy Relich,

111
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:22.480
<v Speaker 2>by the way, and I'm so proud that he's been

112
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 2>able to kind of grind it out for the last

113
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, six seven years, which is crazy to

114
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 2>think he's been around that long. But now he's got

115
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.959
<v Speaker 2>his own show with Shannon, and he works his ass off,

116
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.600
<v Speaker 2>and you know, you have to do that in order

117
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 2>to get an opportunity like he has right now. So

118
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 2>it's not like I'm jabbing at Billy. He would tell

119
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 2>you straight up. He's got a lot of belief in himself.

120
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 2>He's very very confident, and he was filling in or

121
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>not filling in actually what he was doing. He was producing,

122
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.480
<v Speaker 2>but it was more so just like on a trial basis,

123
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Like my producer at that time was still there, but

124
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:52.560
<v Speaker 2>they were just kind of seeing if Billy could run

125
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:54.319
<v Speaker 2>the board. And he did a fine job at that.

126
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.040
<v Speaker 2>But at that time, Jennifer Lawrence was coming into the

127
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.800
<v Speaker 2>studio across the hall to be on with Terry Miners.

128
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.079
<v Speaker 2>As Terry Miners is I think close family friends with

129
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Jennifer Lawrence's parents, and she knows Terry and I think

130
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 2>she's been on a few times over the years. I

131
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 2>think it's been a long time since it happened, But

132
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 2>in twenty sixteen, I think it was she. She was

133
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.040
<v Speaker 2>coming in studio and at that time, you know, she

134
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.240
<v Speaker 2>comes in with like security that looks like the Secret Service, right,

135
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, she's she's senter for Lawrence, So you know,

136
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.079
<v Speaker 2>I knew she was here. I saw her through the

137
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 2>window when I was walking out of the building and

138
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I can see through the window there in the has studio.

139
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 2>But like, you know, I wasn't trying to like, hey

140
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:30.600
<v Speaker 2>can I can I sneak in and get a picture?

141
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's not really my personality anyways, but even

142
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.240
<v Speaker 2>if I try, they wouldn't let me. Well, Billy, he

143
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.160
<v Speaker 2>was gonna try, but I told him, like no, like

144
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 2>you had to realize you're not just gonna walk past

145
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:42.639
<v Speaker 2>her in the hallway. You know, it's like not really

146
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.079
<v Speaker 2>how it works, you know, she's And then he said, well,

147
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:47.920
<v Speaker 2>I know, if I do get a chance to talk

148
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 2>to her, I guarantee I could get he phone number.

149
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.519
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, Billy I'm pretty sure she's married. It's like,

150
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't care, it doesn't matter. And I couldn't believe

151
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.560
<v Speaker 2>that he wasn't joking. He was quite serious that if

152
00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 2>he had a chance to be in the same room

153
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.319
<v Speaker 2>with Jennifer Laurence. I guess that Billy Ruttledge charm would

154
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.279
<v Speaker 2>just be oozing to where he could get the digits

155
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.160
<v Speaker 2>and she would forget. She might have been married at

156
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:09.439
<v Speaker 2>the time. I don't know if she was married, but

157
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.439
<v Speaker 2>she was with somebody. And oh, by the way, she's

158
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Jennifer Lawrence. He's fresh out of college training to be

159
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 2>a producer on AM radio, like a little bit of

160
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 2>a different stratosphere when it comes to status. But he

161
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:23.240
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't joking. He believed it. And I know that

162
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:25.240
<v Speaker 2>story has been told before on KSR, and I'm the

163
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.079
<v Speaker 2>one who told Mad about it because Billy was filling

164
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.360
<v Speaker 2>in and they were learning this guy, this guy really

165
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.759
<v Speaker 2>he's awesome. But man, he's really, really, really a fan

166
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.199
<v Speaker 2>of himself. But actually, let me back up, I don't

167
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:41.240
<v Speaker 2>think Billy's like it's yes, it's not. I mean, it

168
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:43.560
<v Speaker 2>is arrogance, but it's not like in your face, right,

169
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.560
<v Speaker 2>It's not like he's not a showman.

170
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 3>He's not afraid to be himself, but he.

171
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Really does have a lot of belief in himself when

172
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 2>it comes to anything, which, to be honest, is probably

173
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.560
<v Speaker 2>why he's been able to be successful at this point.

174
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:57.480
<v Speaker 2>But some of the things that he does in fact believe,

175
00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.839
<v Speaker 2>I know, I mean, I don't have the heart to

176
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:01.879
<v Speaker 2>tell him he's delusional, but like he'll he'll learn the

177
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 2>hard way, right Like.

178
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.680
<v Speaker 3>By the way, wasn't was it not DK Metcalf? Was

179
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:06.199
<v Speaker 3>that the athlete you say, get out run? That may

180
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:07.360
<v Speaker 3>often in my head.

181
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Maybe because I think it's that sounds about right, because

182
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.439
<v Speaker 2>it was an outlandish thing said like that, and then

183
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.959
<v Speaker 2>it got turned into where we actually could prove you wrong.

184
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's see if we can go get this former UK

185
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:22.600
<v Speaker 2>player and let's see if you can beat him. I

186
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.240
<v Speaker 2>think that's might that might have been how it played out.

187
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.519
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, you know, there's certain people that are you know,

188
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.200
<v Speaker 2>big time celebrities that that have made their way into

189
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.600
<v Speaker 2>studio and been on with you know, mostly with has

190
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.320
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you, mostly Terry Minors because you

191
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.279
<v Speaker 2>know he's Terry Miners. But yeah, Jennifer Lawrence is one

192
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:42.960
<v Speaker 2>that you know, you're not just gonna casually run into

193
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:44.879
<v Speaker 2>her in the hallway, and if you do, you know

194
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.279
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna be told to get away because she's Jennifer

195
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Lawrence and you're not. And I don't mean that she

196
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.600
<v Speaker 2>would say that to you, but you know she's I mean,

197
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:53.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it's safe to say is she's still probably

198
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:57.080
<v Speaker 2>currently the most globally famous person from Louisville, like right now,

199
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Like obviously people know Muhammad Ali from Louisville, and there's

200
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:02.240
<v Speaker 2>others that are known from being from Louisville. But when

201
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 2>it comes to like, I mean, she's still an active

202
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.799
<v Speaker 2>a lister when it comes to Hollywood and Jack Harlow,

203
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:09.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's he's a big time for sure, but

204
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he's I mean maybe their neck

205
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:12.840
<v Speaker 2>and neck, I'm not sure.

206
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.799
<v Speaker 3>And there are two different industries music and film.

207
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, And what's wild to say is that

208
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.960
<v Speaker 2>of all the celebrities that have been in and out

209
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.919
<v Speaker 2>of the building since I've worked here, which it's not

210
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.759
<v Speaker 2>like there's a thousand of them, but you know, you

211
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:28.919
<v Speaker 2>can always tell, right, Like if a country start, a

212
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.240
<v Speaker 2>country artist is here doing something with AMZ, you know,

213
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:32.960
<v Speaker 2>even if you're not a country music fan like you know,

214
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.759
<v Speaker 2>that's that's just the that's the effect that celebrities have

215
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:40.440
<v Speaker 2>on people. And to this day, there is there's never

216
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.600
<v Speaker 2>been you know, I've worked here for gosh, going on

217
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.679
<v Speaker 2>nine years now, and there's never been someone who was

218
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:51.559
<v Speaker 2>making an appearance in at Ihart Louisville that generated the

219
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:57.039
<v Speaker 2>aura and the you know, the attention. Then Mason Ramsey,

220
00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.039
<v Speaker 2>the kid who yeldled at Walmart and went viral.

221
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:01.200
<v Speaker 3>Do you remember that? I remember him?

222
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I mean and by the way, he's still like

223
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.399
<v Speaker 2>making music and he became like a star. But like

224
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:08.159
<v Speaker 2>he was doing some kind of an appearance at a

225
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Walmart that was near where we used to be our

226
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.480
<v Speaker 2>old studios, and I guess he came in to do

227
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:15.279
<v Speaker 2>a performance. He came in to do a performance in

228
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.120
<v Speaker 2>our auditorium to promote that he was going to be

229
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.279
<v Speaker 2>at the Walmart. And like the news stations heard about it.

230
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:23.960
<v Speaker 2>They showed up to iHeart and it's a it's like

231
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.200
<v Speaker 2>an I mean, a nine year old kid who just

232
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.120
<v Speaker 2>was yodeling at Walmart and became like the biggest thing

233
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:40.440
<v Speaker 2>on the internet. Oh that he was inside the last

234
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:44.320
<v Speaker 2>home day she said, good an, well a lot I

235
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.519
<v Speaker 2>thought of the dry Should do me?

236
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:48.360
<v Speaker 3>Should do you?

237
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>She's got the guys.

238
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.480
<v Speaker 2>It's unreal how certain things go viral like that. Like, again,

239
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:55.600
<v Speaker 2>that's a good yodeler for a kid, But like what

240
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:58.279
<v Speaker 2>made that become the most talked about thing on the

241
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.399
<v Speaker 2>planet for you know, hour or something. I mean that's

242
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.039
<v Speaker 2>almost longer than that. That was you two. But the video,

243
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:08.600
<v Speaker 2>the video blew up on Facebook. Okay, that's that's when.

244
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.639
<v Speaker 2>And it was an eight Yeah, March of ninth March

245
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:14.559
<v Speaker 2>of twenty eighteen. He gained he gained an international fame.

246
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.120
<v Speaker 2>He gained international fame from a viral video of him yodling.

247
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:19.759
<v Speaker 2>And now he's like, you know, now he's grown up

248
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.200
<v Speaker 2>and his voice has changed, and you know he doesn't

249
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.200
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't sound.

250
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.320
<v Speaker 3>What can I go do in Walmart to get me famed?

251
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. It's like the hawk Tua girl. Yeah, like.

252
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 3>No, I wouldn't even want to be famous. What am

253
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.240
<v Speaker 3>I talking about? That wouldn't be fun? Well it would?

254
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think being famous would certainly have its benefits,

255
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:39.279
<v Speaker 2>but being famous for, like what you're famous for, is

256
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:41.919
<v Speaker 2>the biggest factor, you know, what I mean, like you

257
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.080
<v Speaker 2>could be super famous for being the biggest psychopath in

258
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.159
<v Speaker 2>the world. I don't think anybody would want that, but

259
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.759
<v Speaker 2>if you would have, I mean, it's almost like magic

260
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.279
<v Speaker 2>how the internet can just like because if you just

261
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:57.840
<v Speaker 2>describe a kid wadling yodling in Walmart who sounds pretty

262
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, pretty good, and he's kind of a because he's,

263
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:04.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, a little kid, like telling somebody that, even

264
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:07.399
<v Speaker 2>having somebody kind of visualize that, they would never expect

265
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.639
<v Speaker 2>that to be a viral story. Same thing with Hawk

266
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.840
<v Speaker 2>to a girl like what she said, you know, and

267
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.080
<v Speaker 2>she's cute, she's young, she's you know, there's some sexual

268
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.080
<v Speaker 2>innuendo there with what she's talking about, you know, just

269
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 2>spitting on that thing. We all know what that was,

270
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:23.279
<v Speaker 2>but nobody would have believed beforehand that that specific clip

271
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:25.519
<v Speaker 2>would would be the biggest that was the biggest clip

272
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:26.120
<v Speaker 2>of the summer, was it?

273
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Not?

274
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:26.879
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely?

275
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Not? Even yeah, I mean so far, it's so it's

276
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.840
<v Speaker 2>just I don't know, I I'm fascinated by it, but

277
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:35.960
<v Speaker 2>it also kind of doesn't make me sad.

278
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:36.639
<v Speaker 1>But like.

279
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:40.080
<v Speaker 2>This can't I don't know, like if it changes people's

280
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.519
<v Speaker 2>life with the better than great like doesn't doesn't impact me,

281
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:48.200
<v Speaker 2>but it's just there's something better about somebody being famous

282
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.080
<v Speaker 2>for something, you know, like noteworthy, something good, something positive,

283
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.399
<v Speaker 2>something entertaining, and hawk to a girl, more power to her.

284
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:59.000
<v Speaker 2>But like that, I mean, like what did she do?

285
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:00.960
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean? Now, if you're hawk to

286
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.440
<v Speaker 3>a girl that's going to interview for a job, no

287
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:05.639
<v Speaker 3>matter you're going to be to a girl, going to

288
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:07.240
<v Speaker 3>be like, oh my gosh, you're the hawk to a girl,

289
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.639
<v Speaker 3>and that's eventual actually gets older, that's gonna get annoying.

290
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Did you see that she? Did you see that she

291
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:15.919
<v Speaker 2>throughout the first pitch at the Mets game last week?

292
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.320
<v Speaker 2>I didn't, And everybody was upset about it because like

293
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:20.360
<v Speaker 2>how could the Mets do that? Like what are we

294
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.919
<v Speaker 2>doing here? And then the Yankees GM I think it

295
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:27.279
<v Speaker 2>was maybe the owner somebody within the Yankees organization either

296
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 2>was asked about it or just to decided to comment

297
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:31.960
<v Speaker 2>on it, and you know, acted as if like, yeah,

298
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:33.879
<v Speaker 2>we would never do that because you know, we're the Yankees.

299
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.440
<v Speaker 2>So she she gets invited throughout the first pitch, she's

300
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.120
<v Speaker 2>just catching strays from the Yankees because they're like, yeah,

301
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.679
<v Speaker 2>we actually have real celebrities to throw out our first pitch.

302
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that happens tonight whenever, you know, Pat Kelsey gets

303
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.440
<v Speaker 2>introduced because he's thrown out of first pitch too. He's

304
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:53.440
<v Speaker 2>got the basketball fan base excited and energized for the

305
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:55.720
<v Speaker 2>first time in years. He's going to get a standing. Oh,

306
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:58.200
<v Speaker 2>people on the Interstate sixty five might just pull over

307
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:00.159
<v Speaker 2>because they're gonna think, what's going on here?

308
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Man?

309
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:01.840
<v Speaker 2>It's so loud this guy?

310
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:02.559
<v Speaker 3>Who is that?

311
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Who's out there on the mound and it's Pat Kelsey?

312
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:06.799
<v Speaker 2>And then they introduced me, and everybody says, who the

313
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:08.480
<v Speaker 2>hell's that? What's he doing here?

314
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Like?

315
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.679
<v Speaker 2>I worried about making Pat Kelsey's moment less because I

316
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.320
<v Speaker 2>am some way involved in it. Hopefully that doesn't happen

317
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:22.559
<v Speaker 2>because that that's not good for me. Right, No, I

318
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.000
<v Speaker 2>don't like. I don't want to be in the way.

319
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.039
<v Speaker 3>It is odd that they it's you're not like the

320
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.840
<v Speaker 3>opening act for Pat Kelson. I don't know how this

321
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:30.480
<v Speaker 3>is gonna work for you.

322
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:32.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't think anybody does. But I have learned, and

323
00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:34.440
<v Speaker 2>thank you to those on the text line. I even

324
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:38.720
<v Speaker 2>had a friend as well that that that had had

325
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:40.720
<v Speaker 2>told me that he's been to games where they're it's

326
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:42.639
<v Speaker 2>not uncommon to have more than one person throughout at

327
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.639
<v Speaker 2>first poke. So I'm sure they've done this before. They

328
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:46.120
<v Speaker 2>have a plan. It's not going to be like super

329
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.519
<v Speaker 2>awkward at least I hope not real quick before we

330
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:50.919
<v Speaker 2>move on. This is one of those segments where I

331
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:52.440
<v Speaker 2>don't even know what we've accomplished, but you know what

332
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:59.480
<v Speaker 2>it's right, So anyways, this is a random a random

333
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:04.519
<v Speaker 2>celebri that that that I that I ended up encountering

334
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:05.919
<v Speaker 2>it the old office.

335
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

336
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 2>And do you know who Charlie Pooth is?

337
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:11.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Singer?

338
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so is he famous like he is? Isn't he like?

339
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Is he?

340
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Or is he nine?

341
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:18.559
<v Speaker 3>He's famous like he's a pop singer, but he's not

342
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:20.879
<v Speaker 3>like on the level of a lot of pop singers.

343
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

344
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:24.759
<v Speaker 2>So he was at iHeart years ago for some reason

345
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:27.600
<v Speaker 2>that I don't that I don't really know, and me

346
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:29.240
<v Speaker 2>making an appearance. I think he might have done something

347
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:33.840
<v Speaker 2>on ninety eight nine and I didn't know that he that,

348
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:35.639
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know what he looked like, didn't know who

349
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:36.799
<v Speaker 2>he was. And back in the day we used to

350
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:38.360
<v Speaker 2>have way more people in our building. I think even

351
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:40.279
<v Speaker 2>when you started working here many years ago, Like it

352
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.440
<v Speaker 2>was just a different vibe because working remotely wasn't a

353
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.799
<v Speaker 2>thing because the pandemic hadn't happened yet. Like you'd see

354
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:47.440
<v Speaker 2>a ton of cars in the parking lot and that

355
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.559
<v Speaker 2>was only for like three months for me. Yeah, and

356
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.360
<v Speaker 2>then everything kind of you know changed in a major way.

357
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:56.559
<v Speaker 2>So this guy was there and again i'd heard the name,

358
00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:00.279
<v Speaker 2>and then I ended up it was just awkward, Like

359
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.639
<v Speaker 2>I was walking into the bathroom he had just gotten

360
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:05.440
<v Speaker 2>done washing his hands, and we kept doing like the

361
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:07.919
<v Speaker 2>face to face dancing thing to where like we're trying

362
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:09.480
<v Speaker 2>to get out of each other's way, but when he

363
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.600
<v Speaker 2>moves right, he moves to his right. I ended up

364
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.440
<v Speaker 2>moving the same direction to where we just keep like

365
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.600
<v Speaker 2>so finally I was like, hey, sorry, man, and I

366
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:18.120
<v Speaker 2>like you know, ended up moving around him and I

367
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:19.679
<v Speaker 2>patted him on the back, and I thought it was

368
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.440
<v Speaker 2>somebody who worked in sales because I didn't know, and

369
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:27.200
<v Speaker 2>he was kind, but he was very very surprised I

370
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.879
<v Speaker 2>touched him and I don't and I don't usually touch,

371
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:32.039
<v Speaker 2>like I'm not that's not normal for me, but because

372
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:33.600
<v Speaker 2>of what had happened, like I just like Okay, let

373
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.159
<v Speaker 2>me you know, sorry about that buddy, like hit him on,

374
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:36.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, hit.

375
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:39.039
<v Speaker 3>Pat would have been like, I'm Charlie Pooth, why did

376
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:39.480
<v Speaker 3>you do that?

377
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's what I'm saying, Like I kind of wouldn't

378
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:42.600
<v Speaker 2>have been shocked if he did that, but he didn't.

379
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:44.159
<v Speaker 2>But he did seem just a little He didn't even

380
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:46.240
<v Speaker 2>seem like bothered, but more so like okay, well, like

381
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.279
<v Speaker 2>he didn't expect somebody to touch him because he is

382
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Pooth. But he was nice. And then I ended

383
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:51.960
<v Speaker 2>up going back. Was right before my show started at noon,

384
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.759
<v Speaker 2>and I ended up after the first break. I checked

385
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:56.120
<v Speaker 2>my email and they were announcing that he was about

386
00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.240
<v Speaker 2>to start his performance, and I'm like, who Charlie Pooth?

387
00:16:59.279 --> 00:16:59.600
<v Speaker 3>That guy?

388
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:02.039
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, I know that name, and it's because

389
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:03.759
<v Speaker 2>at that time, and I don't think it's the way.

390
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.599
<v Speaker 2>In fact, this video at one point had more views

391
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:10.759
<v Speaker 2>than any video on YouTube I think for many years.

392
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:16.960
<v Speaker 3>This this is his voice, Like this is a big song, right,

393
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.400
<v Speaker 3>that was a song that was ineurious movies.

394
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:21.119
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and it was ended up being like the rip

395
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.039
<v Speaker 2>song to Paul Walker. Yes, and it's a good song

396
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:28.440
<v Speaker 2>with Khalifa and Charlie Pooth. But like if you've never

397
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:30.000
<v Speaker 2>heard of him and you don't know any songs, you

398
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:32.039
<v Speaker 2>know this song and that's him singing it. And I

399
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:33.599
<v Speaker 2>think it was right around the time that this was

400
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:34.279
<v Speaker 2>like a big deal.

401
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:35.480
<v Speaker 1>So you know.

402
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Anyways, I ended up seeing that he was here, didn't

403
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:40.480
<v Speaker 2>think anything of it. Well then right around one o'clock

404
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I got another break and i'd go into the auditorium

405
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:45.079
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, oh, that was Charlie Pooth, who I

406
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:48.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, had an encounter with in the restroom. Not

407
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:50.400
<v Speaker 2>that not that kind of encounter, you perverts, you know

408
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:53.720
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. Although he is he's a famous guy.

409
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:55.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's he's I mean, I don't know what

410
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.440
<v Speaker 2>he's doing now, but we did have a moment. I'm

411
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:01.319
<v Speaker 2>sure he remembers it, just just like I do. We

412
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:03.519
<v Speaker 2>don't have that anymore, man. I miss that, like the

413
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:07.240
<v Speaker 2>days of like just having a full building where you

414
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:08.480
<v Speaker 2>never know who's going to pop in.

415
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:10.519
<v Speaker 3>It's just, you know, I think the only time that

416
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:13.400
<v Speaker 3>I've ever encountered that in my time working here is

417
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:15.720
<v Speaker 3>whenever you had the mayor on and I walked him

418
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:17.440
<v Speaker 3>back to your studio and he had like a clan

419
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:20.160
<v Speaker 3>of you know, he's the mayor. Yeah, he's the only

420
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:22.680
<v Speaker 3>time I ever, you know, experienced being around someone like that.

421
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Yep, I'm so glad I got to know Craig before

422
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.160
<v Speaker 2>he became mayor, not because like I now think differently

423
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:30.839
<v Speaker 2>of him as mayor, but I got it. You know,

424
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:32.880
<v Speaker 2>he's the mayor, so when he's in front of a

425
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:34.759
<v Speaker 2>microphone and in front of a camera, he's going to

426
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:37.680
<v Speaker 2>be very you know, presidential as they say, and polished.

427
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:39.799
<v Speaker 2>And he's like that in real life, not in front

428
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:42.680
<v Speaker 2>of a camera. But you know, I consider him a

429
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.039
<v Speaker 2>friend and you know, I love Craig. But it is

430
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:47.079
<v Speaker 2>weird hearing you say like that was like something because

431
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:49.000
<v Speaker 2>you know he is different to you. Well, because it's

432
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.960
<v Speaker 2>hard for me to sometimes realize, Like again, it's normal now,

433
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:55.000
<v Speaker 2>but you know now every day almost if I pop

434
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:56.920
<v Speaker 2>up and then if I pop on the news when

435
00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:58.599
<v Speaker 2>we're eating dinner or something and I leave it on

436
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:00.559
<v Speaker 2>it in its entirety, there's a good hands I'm gonna

437
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.960
<v Speaker 2>see him twice on there because he's the mayor of Louisville.

438
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.240
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, yeah, I just I miss when we used

439
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:09.480
<v Speaker 2>to just have the you know, you never know who's

440
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:14.039
<v Speaker 2>And there's also been people who've been around that were

441
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:16.839
<v Speaker 2>a big deal but they thought they were a bigger

442
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:19.599
<v Speaker 2>deal than they really were. And I've only heard stories

443
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:21.640
<v Speaker 2>about this, but I think Tom Green, do you even

444
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:22.039
<v Speaker 2>know who that is?

445
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:23.720
<v Speaker 3>The comedian? Yeah, I know he's a comedian, but I

446
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:25.039
<v Speaker 3>don't know any of his work or anything.

447
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.119
<v Speaker 2>I love Tom Green, by the way. I think he's hilarious.

448
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:30.799
<v Speaker 2>He's stupid funny, which is kind of you know, right

449
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.319
<v Speaker 2>up my alley. I have a very dumb sense of humor,

450
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:34.599
<v Speaker 2>as I'm sure a lot of you guys have picked

451
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:37.519
<v Speaker 2>up on over the years with this show. But either

452
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.759
<v Speaker 2>him or his like agent or bodyguard or security or

453
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.400
<v Speaker 2>something i'd heard was like as bad as anybody when

454
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.039
<v Speaker 2>it comes to just you know, like all right, dude,

455
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:50.319
<v Speaker 2>you're like, we know who you are, but like if

456
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:52.240
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna be like this, we don't need you here,

457
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:53.799
<v Speaker 2>Like you don't have to be here, Like you're not

458
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:56.599
<v Speaker 2>doing us any favors, that kind of stuff. So anyways,

459
00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:58.200
<v Speaker 2>let's get to a quick break. We'll come back on

460
00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:00.920
<v Speaker 2>the other side. Keep the party rolling a lit. I

461
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:04.559
<v Speaker 2>want to talk about about NFL Sunday ticket because you know,

462
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't need Sunday ticket. I am not interested in

463
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.920
<v Speaker 2>purchasing it because I can do NFL Red Zone and

464
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:13.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, be fine. But a lot of people love

465
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Sunday ticket. But I am so curious to see in

466
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:19.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, three or four months, if the price increase

467
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.359
<v Speaker 2>really did an impact, did have an impact on people?

468
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Will you know people? Because NFL is king, But when

469
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:27.319
<v Speaker 2>you know the minimum price that you can get Sunday ticket, like,

470
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:28.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's worth it for a lot

471
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:32.519
<v Speaker 2>of people. So we'll get to that and a lot more.

472
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:35.559
<v Speaker 2>It's coffee and Company. We are fueled by Thornton's right

473
00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:36.960
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

474
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:40.039
<v Speaker 3>Is this him?

475
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:40.559
<v Speaker 1>This is?

476
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:42.279
<v Speaker 3>This is the song I always think of when I

477
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:44.519
<v Speaker 3>think of Truple. How old is this one? I was

478
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:46.880
<v Speaker 3>a senior in high school, so mid twenty sixteen, I guess.

479
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so this along with his appearance in that or

480
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:54.759
<v Speaker 2>his feature in that Fast and Furious song, I guess

481
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:57.359
<v Speaker 2>right around that time he was on top. That's why

482
00:20:57.400 --> 00:20:59.119
<v Speaker 2>he didn't want me touching him in the bathroom. And

483
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't usually touch other men in the bathroom. But

484
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:03.039
<v Speaker 2>if you if you don't know if you don't understand

485
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:05.400
<v Speaker 2>that that sounded really bad, But for context you can

486
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:06.440
<v Speaker 2>go check out the podcast.

487
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:08.599
<v Speaker 3>I wish I wish he would have said I'm Charlie

488
00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:10.359
<v Speaker 3>Pooth to you in the bathroom, because yeah, you would

489
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:12.039
<v Speaker 3>have been like, who I mean?

490
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:14.519
<v Speaker 2>I would have said, you said that like it means something,

491
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:16.720
<v Speaker 2>so I'm sure it does. But I'm drawing a blank

492
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:18.680
<v Speaker 2>a little bit here, give me anything. He's like, I'm

493
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.240
<v Speaker 2>a I'm you know, a uh a Grammy nominated artist,

494
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:23.119
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, hmm.

495
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:25.880
<v Speaker 3>Could have said, you just want attention, Just like that song.

496
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:28.400
<v Speaker 2>I should have said, well, can you sing something for me?

497
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe that I can't can't, I can't quite place you, Charlie.

498
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Maybe sing something for me and see if that helps

499
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.039
<v Speaker 2>me out. But actually, real quick, and this is another

500
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:39.599
<v Speaker 2>example of us just getting completely off track here. Do

501
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:43.799
<v Speaker 2>you know what video on YouTube surpassed the Whiz Khalifa

502
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Pooth when I See You Again as far as

503
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:47.839
<v Speaker 2>the most viewed music.

504
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Video Charlie bit my finger or something. I don't know.

505
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:53.000
<v Speaker 2>It was Old Town Road.

506
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Uh oh you're talking music specific? Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah,

507
00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:59.200
<v Speaker 3>that makes sense. Old Na Sex Still of Bank Billy

508
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:02.319
<v Speaker 3>Ray Cyrus still a hit, Still a hit, all right.

509
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:04.319
<v Speaker 3>So look, I would never tell anybody what how to

510
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:06.359
<v Speaker 3>spend their money. And that's like when it comes to

511
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:10.319
<v Speaker 3>the people go into games and season ticket sales, you know,

512
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:13.680
<v Speaker 3>like occasionally, like you know, I'll encourage, hey, let's fill

513
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:15.839
<v Speaker 3>the stadium, right, let's let's let's do our part and

514
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.119
<v Speaker 3>get a great turnout. But like what people spend their

515
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:21.119
<v Speaker 3>money on is their choice, and there are expends. I mean,

516
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:26.960
<v Speaker 3>everybody's financial financial situation is different. And season tickets specifically,

517
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:29.960
<v Speaker 3>like if you if you pay that donation and you

518
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:32.279
<v Speaker 3>pay whatever it called, like that's a big expense, Like

519
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:34.519
<v Speaker 3>that's that's a sacrifice to where if you didn't, I mean,

520
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.400
<v Speaker 3>you could use that money annually and go on a

521
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:40.559
<v Speaker 3>couple vacations, maybe three vacations, just depending on you know,

522
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:43.319
<v Speaker 3>what it is you actually spend. Obviously, the donation is

523
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:44.880
<v Speaker 3>a set price, but if you get season tickets and

524
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:46.839
<v Speaker 3>they're really good seats, then obviously that's a much bigger

525
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:47.400
<v Speaker 3>price tag.

526
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:50.079
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I spend money on what you want.

527
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:53.079
<v Speaker 2>But I'm curious to see how many people are willing

528
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.200
<v Speaker 2>to pay three hundred and eighty dollars for Sunday ticket.

529
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.200
<v Speaker 2>So that's the minimum price for the Sunday ticket. I

530
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:05.079
<v Speaker 2>guess like best case scenario right now. So ESPN apparently

531
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:08.839
<v Speaker 2>had proposed individual team packages for seventy dollars that would

532
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:12.799
<v Speaker 2>allow you to watch all seventeen of your favorite teams

533
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:17.079
<v Speaker 2>NFL games, meaning your team. Like let's say John is

534
00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:19.400
<v Speaker 2>a big Broncos fan, and you know, if he doesn't

535
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:22.640
<v Speaker 2>have Sunday ticket or the red zone, or he's not

536
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:25.640
<v Speaker 2>illegally streaming at somewhere else, like obviously the Broncos games

537
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:27.240
<v Speaker 2>are not always going to be on TV around here.

538
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:30.960
<v Speaker 2>But if he had this plan, this package that ESPN

539
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:33.960
<v Speaker 2>put together, he could pay seventy bucks a year and

540
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:35.720
<v Speaker 2>watch all of his games. I think that is a

541
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:37.200
<v Speaker 2>good I think that would be a fair price and

542
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:39.039
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people would do that. But the NFL

543
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:42.480
<v Speaker 2>said no. The league is being greedy, it seems. So.

544
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:46.839
<v Speaker 2>This was from NFL Chief Media and Business officer Brian Rollout.

545
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:48.599
<v Speaker 2>This was a couple months ago. He said in a

546
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:51.359
<v Speaker 2>published interview quote, we try to think about what the

547
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:55.720
<v Speaker 2>fan wants and get as much distribution as possible, which

548
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:58.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's just a canned answer. Where it sounds

549
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.279
<v Speaker 2>like you are looking out for, which is again, that's

550
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:03.319
<v Speaker 2>what that's what you'd want to hear if you're a fan. Well,

551
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:05.680
<v Speaker 2>you got owners like Robert Kraft, who later said in

552
00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:08.559
<v Speaker 2>an interview quote, We're not looking to get lots of people.

553
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:11.519
<v Speaker 2>We want to keep it as a premium offering, meaning

554
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:14.720
<v Speaker 2>we'll charge whatever, and the people who pay it will

555
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:18.359
<v Speaker 2>feel as if they are super elite status because and

556
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:20.039
<v Speaker 2>by the way, that is a that's a that's a

557
00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:22.400
<v Speaker 2>way to do business. Right, Like you, there are people

558
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:25.400
<v Speaker 2>who are more interested in spending if it's really expensive

559
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:28.359
<v Speaker 2>because they want to feel like they're they want to

560
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:29.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, they want to show off that they have

561
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:31.480
<v Speaker 2>the ability to pay for that, or they just feel

562
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:33.880
<v Speaker 2>better about themselves knowing that they did. I mean, everybody's

563
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.319
<v Speaker 2>different as far as how they spend money. So I

564
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:40.400
<v Speaker 2>just don't know how you could justify paying Again, if

565
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:43.119
<v Speaker 2>you've got money out your rear end, then whatever. But

566
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I'd say the average you know, the average person that

567
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:49.279
<v Speaker 2>maybe isn't living check to check to the point that

568
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:50.799
<v Speaker 2>if you know, they don't get a check, they're going

569
00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:54.119
<v Speaker 2>to be homeless. But obviously times aren't great financially right

570
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:55.839
<v Speaker 2>now in this economy. I mean again, I'm sure some

571
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:57.960
<v Speaker 2>people have never had to worry or stress about money,

572
00:24:58.000 --> 00:24:59.480
<v Speaker 2>and God bless you if that's the case. But that's

573
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:02.720
<v Speaker 2>not a lot of peop people. So you know, if

574
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:05.119
<v Speaker 2>you pay three hundred and eighty bucks for the Sunday ticket,

575
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:07.920
<v Speaker 2>like I just again, it's it's all your perspective in

576
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.359
<v Speaker 2>regards to it being worth it. But I've never understood

577
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:14.759
<v Speaker 2>the obsession with the Sunday ticket because being able to

578
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:17.119
<v Speaker 2>watch any NFL game, Like, you can't watch them all

579
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:18.880
<v Speaker 2>at the same time. Now, if you're at a sports

580
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:21.839
<v Speaker 2>bar and you're operating a bar, yeah, it makes total sense.

581
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.480
<v Speaker 2>She wouldn't be able to put every game on. But

582
00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:26.000
<v Speaker 2>if you're at home and you're because I would say

583
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:29.119
<v Speaker 2>most NFL fans have a team and they're gonna watch

584
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:31.559
<v Speaker 2>other NFL football games because the NFL's king, but like

585
00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:33.720
<v Speaker 2>the game they really care about is their team. So like,

586
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:36.839
<v Speaker 2>if you get Sunday ticket for that, like you're you're

587
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:38.519
<v Speaker 2>paying a lot of money and you have accessed all

588
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:40.559
<v Speaker 2>these other games, but there's no way you're watching them

589
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:45.079
<v Speaker 2>all the way through. And even if you just here's

590
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.720
<v Speaker 2>the scenario, let's say, in the one o'clock slate, you're

591
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:53.640
<v Speaker 2>watching Colts Jaguars, and you know that on the Sunday

592
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:58.920
<v Speaker 2>ticket you can switch over to watch Chiefs Raiders, But

593
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:02.559
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to watch Chiefs Raiders because you're so

594
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:04.920
<v Speaker 2>focused on the Colts Jags, So you're gonna you're gonna

595
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:07.599
<v Speaker 2>DVR it and come back to it later. Well, if

596
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:09.920
<v Speaker 2>you're watching Colts Jags, you're not gonna be able to

597
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:12.720
<v Speaker 2>avoid knowing what's happening in the other games, because they're

598
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:14.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna show you. Like that's how this works, like the

599
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:17.079
<v Speaker 2>halftime show when they come back from break, like on

600
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:19.839
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the screen they're showing scores. So I

601
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.799
<v Speaker 2>think it's totally understandable to get it at a sports

602
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:24.920
<v Speaker 2>bar where you're gonna want to where you are trying

603
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:27.480
<v Speaker 2>to make it to where you can get any game

604
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:29.920
<v Speaker 2>anybody would want because you have that. But as far

605
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:31.720
<v Speaker 2>as like I remember the first time I signed up

606
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:34.640
<v Speaker 2>for direct TV back in like two thousand, gosh, I

607
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:38.279
<v Speaker 2>guess it was probably around like twenty twelve, maybe when

608
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:41.039
<v Speaker 2>we moved into our home, maybe closer to twenty eleven.

609
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Because of the promo for direct TV, we got Sunday

610
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.480
<v Speaker 2>ticket for free, and I think we referred enough people

611
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:50.559
<v Speaker 2>to sign up for Direct TV That next year, I

612
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:52.960
<v Speaker 2>got Sunday ticket for free twice. I've never paid for it,

613
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:56.079
<v Speaker 2>but I had it and it felt awesome, Like I

614
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:58.039
<v Speaker 2>liked sitting on the couch knowing I can go to

615
00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:00.599
<v Speaker 2>any game I want, but I didn't fully you to

616
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.039
<v Speaker 2>where I could ever justify the expense for it. So

617
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:05.559
<v Speaker 2>I love the red zone. It's a little hectic for

618
00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:10.000
<v Speaker 2>me at times, but the red zone, you know, it's

619
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:12.799
<v Speaker 2>it's it's great. It's how I consume the NFL for

620
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:15.079
<v Speaker 2>the most part, especially when I'm trying to figure out

621
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:16.440
<v Speaker 2>if my bets are going to hit or not. And

622
00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I got four leg parlays going and all that kind

623
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:21.519
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. But you also can't really just get into

624
00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:23.799
<v Speaker 2>one game because they're throwing back and forth. And again,

625
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:25.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm not criticizing the red zone. I think the red

626
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:27.759
<v Speaker 2>zone's great. That's that's what I do pay for and

627
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:30.279
<v Speaker 2>it's worth it. Although they're raising the price on that too,

628
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:32.359
<v Speaker 2>and I still think it's gonna be worth it, but

629
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:35.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I just the three hundred and eighty

630
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:39.240
<v Speaker 2>bucks being the lowest the lowest best case scenario right

631
00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:42.319
<v Speaker 2>now for somebody to get Sunday ticket. I just think

632
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:44.799
<v Speaker 2>that that's greedy from the NFL. Like you could make

633
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.839
<v Speaker 2>it one hundred bucks and your greedy billionaire owners would

634
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:50.880
<v Speaker 2>still be able to return some kind of a profit

635
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:53.160
<v Speaker 2>on it. And I just think holding that. I mean again,

636
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:55.240
<v Speaker 2>it's business right. You know, you could you charge whatever

637
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:56.720
<v Speaker 2>you want right you own the league you are in.

638
00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:58.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, the NFL can charge whatever they want. The

639
00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:01.359
<v Speaker 2>owners can collectively discuss what they think is fair, and

640
00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:02.599
<v Speaker 2>they can you know, they have a right to do it.

641
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:04.359
<v Speaker 2>It's just I feel like if you made it one

642
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:08.200
<v Speaker 2>hundred bucks, you'd actually end up getting way more money

643
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.680
<v Speaker 2>from it because people would buy it. So I don't know,

644
00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I just I know the Sunday ticket is a is

645
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:15.759
<v Speaker 2>a big deal to a lot of people. But I'd

646
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:18.359
<v Speaker 2>love to be a fly on the wall with someone

647
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.759
<v Speaker 2>who because even if you even if you are someone

648
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:25.440
<v Speaker 2>that does go back and forth throughout the one o'clock

649
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:28.319
<v Speaker 2>to four through the whole day of football on Sundays

650
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.160
<v Speaker 2>and you've got fantasy players you're tracking, you're tracking your bets,

651
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:35.160
<v Speaker 2>and you have the ability to go to do a

652
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:38.039
<v Speaker 2>live check in anytime you want. Like, that's cool, but

653
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:40.960
<v Speaker 2>are you really you Like, how could someone truly say

654
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:44.720
<v Speaker 2>I need every single game accessible when they're all on

655
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:46.440
<v Speaker 2>at the same time. I just that to me is

656
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:47.960
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a head scratcher. But hey again,

657
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:51.440
<v Speaker 2>people will spend money on what they want. You have

658
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:54.359
<v Speaker 2>Hula Hulu right, Yes, Do they give you the option

659
00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:56.759
<v Speaker 2>to add like red Zone or anything?

660
00:28:57.079 --> 00:28:58.839
<v Speaker 3>No, unless I'm unaware of it.

661
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because I that YouTube TV does give you the

662
00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:03.359
<v Speaker 2>option to buy You can buy a Sunday ticket and

663
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:06.039
<v Speaker 2>you can buy red Zone. It's just an add on

664
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:08.160
<v Speaker 2>and you you know, you pay for It's just it

665
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:10.759
<v Speaker 2>makes your YouTube TV build more expensive. I just didn't

666
00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:13.279
<v Speaker 2>know if the other streaming services offered that, I would

667
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:15.559
<v Speaker 2>I'd be shocked if Hulu doesn't, because it's probable I

668
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:19.039
<v Speaker 2>think right now, as far as cord cutters live, and

669
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:20.319
<v Speaker 2>by the way, a lot of people have cut the

670
00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:21.960
<v Speaker 2>cord and they don't have a YouTube TV or a

671
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Hulu TV or a direct TV now or whatever it's called,

672
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:28.599
<v Speaker 2>or what else is there? If gone?

673
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:29.519
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

674
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's still around. But what I'm getting

675
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:35.480
<v Speaker 2>at is, you know a lot of people just have Netflix, Amazon,

676
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:41.359
<v Speaker 2>HBO Max or Apple TV, like all the streaming services,

677
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and because nobody watches live TV other than what sports.

678
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:47.000
<v Speaker 2>And I shouldn't say nobody, but I you know, and

679
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:49.559
<v Speaker 2>at times I get really just in my own world

680
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:53.240
<v Speaker 2>here because I'm thinking, who doesn't watch football on Sunday?

681
00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:55.279
<v Speaker 2>And then you realize there's a lot of people that

682
00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:57.279
<v Speaker 2>don't like when you see the like when you realize

683
00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:00.640
<v Speaker 2>that more than half of America is not watching or

684
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.599
<v Speaker 2>slightly above half of America is watching the Super Bowl?

685
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Am I the only one? Like every single Like I

686
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.680
<v Speaker 2>know that's a fact, but every single time we get

687
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:10.559
<v Speaker 2>to Super Bowl Sunday, I think to myself, who in

688
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:12.240
<v Speaker 2>the hell's not walking in the Super Bowl?

689
00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:14.319
<v Speaker 3>But I think sometimes you have to think about maybe

690
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:16.680
<v Speaker 3>part of that is because people have Super Bowl parties.

691
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:18.519
<v Speaker 3>Oh yes, people have their own households.

692
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:20.799
<v Speaker 2>Sure, I mean, and I think that's really what it is.

693
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:24.119
<v Speaker 2>Like again, like, I consider that watching, right, But I guess, yeah,

694
00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:27.519
<v Speaker 2>you're I if forty people are at one place and

695
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:30.559
<v Speaker 2>it's one TV, one subscription, one service whatever it may be,

696
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:34.480
<v Speaker 2>cable or streaming, you know that's not countering everybody. Which

697
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:37.200
<v Speaker 2>again I mean that takes away from what that percentage

698
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:40.480
<v Speaker 2>rating is, meaning it's probably more than half. But again,

699
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:42.519
<v Speaker 2>just seeing those numbers always reminds me that, yes, I'm

700
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:45.000
<v Speaker 2>obsessed with sports in a way that a lot of

701
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:47.200
<v Speaker 2>people aren't. And there are people out there, believe it

702
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:48.960
<v Speaker 2>or not. It's crazy to think about, but like, there

703
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:51.000
<v Speaker 2>are people that are out there that sports is not

704
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:53.079
<v Speaker 2>in any way a component to their life and I

705
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:56.480
<v Speaker 2>can't even process that. But hey, it's a free country.

706
00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:59.519
<v Speaker 2>You can do whatever you want. Real quick speak, speaking

707
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:01.759
<v Speaker 2>of money, I just found this to be somewhat interesting.

708
00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:05.920
<v Speaker 2>If you are, you know, curious about what it costs

709
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:09.279
<v Speaker 2>to go to college football games across the country, just

710
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:12.880
<v Speaker 2>know that Louisville is on the very cheap side. So

711
00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:15.960
<v Speaker 2>bookies dot Com calculated the cost to the cheapest available

712
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:18.839
<v Speaker 2>ticket for every home game of all seventy power for

713
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:22.599
<v Speaker 2>conference teams including Notre Dame and then Washington State and

714
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Oregon State. So the prices were acquired from Ticketmaster and

715
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:29.920
<v Speaker 2>seat geek, which more than one hundred schools use to

716
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.960
<v Speaker 2>sell their tickets. So the average lowest ticket price for

717
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:37.519
<v Speaker 2>a Louisville home game this year is eleven dollars and

718
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:42.279
<v Speaker 2>sixty seven cents, so you're certainly on the cheap side.

719
00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:44.240
<v Speaker 2>So you could attend again. Like this is if you

720
00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:46.119
<v Speaker 2>just want to get the bare minimum, you can get

721
00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:50.200
<v Speaker 2>in to every home game this year for seventy bucks. Now,

722
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:54.480
<v Speaker 2>big kicker here is that Louisville's homeslate. We get a

723
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:56.960
<v Speaker 2>huge turnout at every game. And yes, I said we

724
00:31:57.079 --> 00:31:58.559
<v Speaker 2>because you know I might walk on the team or

725
00:31:58.599 --> 00:32:01.920
<v Speaker 2>something like I'm Mariy Huggins, Bruce, you know, but the

726
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:04.960
<v Speaker 2>home slate sucks, like any game that you're juiced about

727
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:06.720
<v Speaker 2>is not at home other than Miami, and that will

728
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:08.599
<v Speaker 2>be a big game. So that I mean that that's that,

729
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:10.079
<v Speaker 2>that is a big game. But like the other ones,

730
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:15.960
<v Speaker 2>like let's just be real, Jacksonville State and Austin P.

731
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, Butthole State, Butthole Tech. It should

732
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:21.279
<v Speaker 2>have been Indiana the Hoosier should have been on the schedule.

733
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:23.519
<v Speaker 2>But we know how that on the me too. So

734
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:31.079
<v Speaker 2>you've got Jacksonville State, Austin p, Georgia Tech, Miami, SMU,

735
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:34.880
<v Speaker 2>and Pitt those are your I mean that that's a

736
00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:37.160
<v Speaker 2>stinky home slate. So that's why it's so cheap. It

737
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:38.640
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be like that if you had, you know, the

738
00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky game at home this year, or Notre Dame at

739
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:42.599
<v Speaker 2>home like you did last year, that kind of stuff.

740
00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:46.240
<v Speaker 2>So Louisville is certainly on the cheaper side. Uh, the

741
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:52.440
<v Speaker 2>most expensive average ticket price. This just makes me want

742
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:58.079
<v Speaker 2>to puke. John. It's Colorado and they've got a huge stadium,

743
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.720
<v Speaker 2>by the way, and like they a huge fan base.

744
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:01.839
<v Speaker 2>Certainly they're a state school.

745
00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:04.200
<v Speaker 3>But like I will say, you're paying for the views

746
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:06.839
<v Speaker 3>partially at Colorado if you've seen their backtob before.

747
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:10.559
<v Speaker 2>True, but like, but you're also paying for the Yeah,

748
00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:12.240
<v Speaker 2>you're paying for Dion and I just think that's lame.

749
00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:15.640
<v Speaker 2>So outside after that, it's Tennessee and by the way,

750
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:20.119
<v Speaker 2>the average price to the lowest average price yeah sorry,

751
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:23.240
<v Speaker 2>the cheapest average ticket for Colorado home games this year,

752
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:24.839
<v Speaker 2>they have six of them. The average is one hundred

753
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:27.839
<v Speaker 2>and seventy two dollars one hundred and fifty six dollars Tennessee,

754
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:29.480
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and forty dollars Texas A and M one

755
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:32.359
<v Speaker 2>hundred and forty dollars at Florida State and then Georgia

756
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:34.839
<v Speaker 2>is at number five with one hundred and twenty eight

757
00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:37.960
<v Speaker 2>The one team in the top twenty. That makes no

758
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:40.440
<v Speaker 2>sense to me, and I think we did kind of

759
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:45.160
<v Speaker 2>figure out why they're there. That is Northwestern at number seven,

760
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:47.839
<v Speaker 2>and it's because they're playing in a tiny stadium.

761
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:51.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're temporary stadium that's right up against what is

762
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:52.759
<v Speaker 3>it Lake Michigan.

763
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:54.759
<v Speaker 2>Or something, So there's not a lot of seats there.

764
00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Therefore people they can charge more because you know, there's

765
00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:00.599
<v Speaker 2>there's the demand is there and there's not many of them.

766
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:02.920
<v Speaker 2>So let's see if it lets me scroll through. Yeah,

767
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky comes in at number thirty two nationally with fifty

768
00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:11.440
<v Speaker 2>four dollars being the cheapest. Louisville is sixty eight out

769
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:15.719
<v Speaker 2>of seventy. Only Illinois and Boston College have a cheaper

770
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:19.159
<v Speaker 2>average ticket price. Kind of surprising Indiana. Let me see

771
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:19.920
<v Speaker 2>where they came in here.

772
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:23.480
<v Speaker 3>I bet it's like fifty nine or sixty Indiana.

773
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Where are they?

774
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:27.880
<v Speaker 3>Where are the Hoosiers at Boston College? Being last? Is

775
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:28.920
<v Speaker 3>in surprising.

776
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Indiana's fifty seven with the average ticket price being twenty

777
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:34.719
<v Speaker 2>six eighty eight. So yeah, that's not a good looks

778
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:36.719
<v Speaker 2>for Louisville. But hey, it's also Hey, I could go

779
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:39.119
<v Speaker 2>to any game and it's pretty cheap. But I feel

780
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:41.519
<v Speaker 2>like if this was last year and the hype was

781
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:43.800
<v Speaker 2>there like it is now, be much different because again,

782
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:45.559
<v Speaker 2>you had some pretty damn good home games last year.

783
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.840
<v Speaker 2>This year not as much. All right, quick break, we'll

784
00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:49.199
<v Speaker 2>come back wrap at the four o'clock hour. On the

785
00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:51.199
<v Speaker 2>other side, it's coffee and company fuel about Thornton's right

786
00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:55.679
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven ninety. That's right, Coffee and

787
00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:59.440
<v Speaker 2>company fueled about Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

788
00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate you hanging out with us on a Thursday afternoon.

789
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:05.079
<v Speaker 2>Wrapping up the four o'clock hour. I we'll let you

790
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:07.760
<v Speaker 2>know for those of you that missed our conversation with

791
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Kendrick Haskins earlier, well you missed out because it was great,

792
00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:13.079
<v Speaker 2>but you're in luck. We are gonna let you hear

793
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:14.480
<v Speaker 2>it once again in the five o'clock hour. I got

794
00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:16.400
<v Speaker 2>to get out of here a little bit early, just

795
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:18.440
<v Speaker 2>a little earlier than usual, because I got to make

796
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:20.440
<v Speaker 2>sure I can get to Slugger Field in time to

797
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.719
<v Speaker 2>throw out the first pitch and you know, try not

798
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:26.360
<v Speaker 2>to embarrass myself. You got a hot date with the mound,

799
00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:29.559
<v Speaker 2>that's right, that's right. I like that is that I've

800
00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:31.559
<v Speaker 2>never heard that before, but that you know, I don't

801
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:33.880
<v Speaker 2>know baseball lingo or I've never heard it before either.

802
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:36.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm giving you credit because I think that's an original

803
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:38.960
<v Speaker 2>line there from the One and the Only the Company Man,

804
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:41.360
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's great. I might, I might, I

805
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:44.599
<v Speaker 2>might start using that good stuff, all right, So real quick,

806
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:50.719
<v Speaker 2>I am always reminded when it comes to how popular

807
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:55.800
<v Speaker 2>soccer is when you see the fame that Christiano Ronaldo

808
00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:58.840
<v Speaker 2>and Lionel Messi have. I mean, John, you know soccer,

809
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:01.159
<v Speaker 2>so you know that those the two most famous athletes

810
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:02.880
<v Speaker 2>on the planet Kings, and they have been for a

811
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:05.199
<v Speaker 2>long long time. But I'm going to tell you something

812
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:10.719
<v Speaker 2>that I think puts in perspective just how insanely famous

813
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:15.159
<v Speaker 2>they are, the reach they have, and how much like

814
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.719
<v Speaker 2>they're really on a different planet when it comes to

815
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:23.440
<v Speaker 2>any other athlete. I mean Ronaldo for sure, because he

816
00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:28.400
<v Speaker 2>launched a YouTube channel earlier. Let's see, he launched his

817
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:33.559
<v Speaker 2>YouTube channel yesterday and it was yesterday morning, so within

818
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:39.559
<v Speaker 2>seven hours seven hours of launch, like creating the channel

819
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:43.400
<v Speaker 2>and sharing on social media that he has a YouTube channel,

820
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:47.119
<v Speaker 2>encouraging his followers to subscribe in seven hours he had

821
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:50.079
<v Speaker 2>seven He surpassed seven million subscribers.

822
00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:52.239
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy and I'm looking at it right now and

823
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:54.679
<v Speaker 3>it looks like he has twenty six million subscribers.

824
00:36:56.519 --> 00:36:58.679
<v Speaker 2>Do people? Do people know how insane that is?

825
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:00.840
<v Speaker 3>That's to do it that fast?

826
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:04.159
<v Speaker 2>That is unbelievable. Yeah, he's it, says here. This is

827
00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:07.239
<v Speaker 2>a report from three o'clock earlier today. He's added more

828
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:10.000
<v Speaker 2>than twenty million subscribers in one day. That has to

829
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:14.519
<v Speaker 2>be a record. And look YouTube, I'm not active on

830
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:16.800
<v Speaker 2>YouTube now because I thought I was going to be

831
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:18.159
<v Speaker 2>with the show and then you know, I was told

832
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't be understandably, so like I get it. But John,

833
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:22.480
<v Speaker 2>you know YouTube a lot better than I do, as

834
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:26.440
<v Speaker 2>far as you know monetization, that kind of stuff. I mean,

835
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:30.920
<v Speaker 2>everybody who has a big, big following online is starting

836
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:34.039
<v Speaker 2>their YouTube channel, Like Tom Brady created a YouTube channel

837
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:35.880
<v Speaker 2>the other day. Now you've got Ronaldo, Like these people

838
00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:38.800
<v Speaker 2>don't need it. But YouTube has to be becoming like

839
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:41.360
<v Speaker 2>the place for content over everything.

840
00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:43.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, especially when it comes to long form content. I

841
00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:46.800
<v Speaker 3>noticed video podcasts that type of stuff. If you're not

842
00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:48.920
<v Speaker 3>listening to the audio only versions on any of you

843
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:52.960
<v Speaker 3>know what Spotify, Apple podcast whatever, maybe iHeartRadio. Then you

844
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:54.960
<v Speaker 3>know you're doing it on YouTube with the video element.

845
00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:58.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I wonder, let me just google it really quickly.

846
00:37:58.119 --> 00:38:03.239
<v Speaker 2>Here who has the most subscribers on YouTube?

847
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:04.079
<v Speaker 3>It's mister Beast.

848
00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he has three hundred and eleven.

849
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:09.239
<v Speaker 1>What does he do? So?

850
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:12.039
<v Speaker 3>I don't really follow him. I have friends that enjoy him,

851
00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:15.239
<v Speaker 3>but he got viral or he went viral years ago

852
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:18.440
<v Speaker 3>whenever he made a video of him counting to like

853
00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:21.920
<v Speaker 3>like one hundred thousand, like it's just them him discounting.

854
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:24.000
<v Speaker 3>So he does a bunch of weird stuff that just

855
00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:27.199
<v Speaker 3>kind of goes viral and not you know what I

856
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:29.559
<v Speaker 3>just described. That's not like his regular content that just

857
00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:33.679
<v Speaker 3>made him get famous. But he's he's a household name clearly.

858
00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:37.760
<v Speaker 2>So this is the fifty most subscribed channels on YouTube,

859
00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Mister Beast is number one, and he doesn't have a

860
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:45.199
<v Speaker 2>whole lot of competition. However, who is t series like

861
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:48.519
<v Speaker 2>it's a Idea, it's a music and entertainment channel in India,

862
00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:51.000
<v Speaker 2>they have two hundred and seventy two, and then there's

863
00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:53.320
<v Speaker 2>a big gap after that. It is Coco Melin which

864
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:56.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm very familiar with Cocomelan because a lot of cocomelon

865
00:38:56.639 --> 00:38:59.199
<v Speaker 2>video has been played in my household on the devices

866
00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:01.079
<v Speaker 2>that we have for our children. I could probably sing

867
00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:03.119
<v Speaker 2>a lot of these cocomel and songs, not that anybody

868
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:06.719
<v Speaker 2>would want to hear that. And then there's another kid's

869
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:10.079
<v Speaker 2>channel like that stuff I get because your kids will

870
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:13.119
<v Speaker 2>watch the same thing over and over and over, which

871
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:15.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess that doesn't really speak to the subscribers. It's

872
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:17.039
<v Speaker 2>more so just in fact. That's what's wild, is that,

873
00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:19.679
<v Speaker 2>Like my kids have probably watched Coco Melon videos a

874
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:22.599
<v Speaker 2>billion times, but they're not subscribed to it like we

875
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:26.880
<v Speaker 2>just like That's another thing, like I oftentimes use YouTube

876
00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:30.440
<v Speaker 2>and watch content on YouTube, but I rarely subscribe to

877
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:31.679
<v Speaker 2>a channel Like I.

878
00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:33.719
<v Speaker 3>Was the same way for the longest time. But the

879
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:38.119
<v Speaker 3>more I watched different channels on YouTube regularly and wanted

880
00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:40.159
<v Speaker 3>to know when they were posting new stuff, that's that's

881
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:42.679
<v Speaker 3>when I began actually subscribing to certain channels. But I'm

882
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:44.159
<v Speaker 3>very picky about who I subscribed to.

883
00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Like the only top ten channel here as far as

884
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:54.400
<v Speaker 2>subscriber base that I would say is like mainstream is WWE.

885
00:39:55.239 --> 00:39:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Other than that, it looks. It's like it's you know,

886
00:39:57.119 --> 00:40:00.960
<v Speaker 2>it's entertainment. I mean, I feel so out of touch

887
