00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:07.559
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm fairly confident that she is not currently listening, but

4
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.280
<v Speaker 2>i'd be I'd be making a real big mistake if

5
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't at least once throughout the three hour show.

6
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Here wish my lovely wife, Tiffany also known here at

7
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.000
<v Speaker 2>iHeart as Mercedes, a very very happy wedding anniversary fourteen

8
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:46.079
<v Speaker 2>years ago today. Thank you fourteen years ago today, Austin.

9
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 2>She said yes, or she said I do. I guess

10
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 2>she said yes when I propose you. Then she said

11
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I do whenever, you know, we made it official, so

12
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:54.679
<v Speaker 2>happy anniversary.

13
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Wouldn't know.

14
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 2>I have no clue if I'd even be alive without her.

15
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:01.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know what would have killed me.

16
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 2>But you know, she takes care of me. Great, great wife,

17
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.959
<v Speaker 2>great mom, and I'm lucky to have her. So fourteen

18
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 2>years is a long time. But once we got to

19
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 2>like seven or eight, then it kind of, you know,

20
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.040
<v Speaker 2>it started to you know, okay, yeah, I guess you

21
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 2>have been married for a little while now, and then

22
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>ten was a big one. We did a nice little

23
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.400
<v Speaker 2>trip for our ten year anniversary went to kankun and

24
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 2>we don't have anything special plan this year, but as

25
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.480
<v Speaker 2>I talked about earlier this week, we're really looking to

26
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.200
<v Speaker 2>do something big next year to celebrate fifteen years. And

27
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 2>you're going to be a married man before too long, Austin, right,

28
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:36.319
<v Speaker 2>So you will learn this at some point. But I

29
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 2>didn't know this until I don't know, maybe a few

30
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 2>years into being married, that there are and not.

31
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:42.640
<v Speaker 3>Everybody does this.

32
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure we don't do it, but there are, Like

33
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>there's wedding anniversary gifts that you get for each year

34
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 2>that are specific types of gift, and I pulled this

35
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.640
<v Speaker 2>up on Okay, so I pulled this up online and

36
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>there's there's listed at one through fifteen, and then I

37
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.959
<v Speaker 2>after fifteen, then you stopped doing sixteen through seventeen. Then

38
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>you just do the milestones. Once you get to fifteen.

39
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 2>It looks as if they've got it set up to

40
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>where you just do twenty, twenty five, thirty, which you

41
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 2>know makes sense.

42
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:11.599
<v Speaker 4>What I've heard I didn't know was every year as

43
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 4>you were married. I knew that there was the century

44
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 4>marks and all that stuff.

45
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 2>So the first year of marriage, the traditional gift is

46
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>something paper, and the modern gift is clocks, so we

47
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't do any of that. But this year for fourteen,

48
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:31.039
<v Speaker 2>the traditional gift is something ivory. Don't even know what

49
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 2>I would be, you know, if I went in, if

50
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I went in anywhere, it was like, I need an

51
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.039
<v Speaker 2>anniversary gift for my wife, something ivory. I'm not even

52
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.360
<v Speaker 2>sure what I would really be asking for. But the

53
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 2>modern gift is gold jewelry, which she will be happy

54
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 2>to know. She did not get any gold jewelry for

55
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>our anniversary, and she wouldn't want me buying her jewelry anyway.

56
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I mean just because well I did

57
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 2>one time, and I think this was I think this

58
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 2>was a.

59
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker 3>A little bit of Christmas gift that I got her.

60
00:02:57.479 --> 00:02:58.280
<v Speaker 3>I feel like it was.

61
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.039
<v Speaker 2>But she she got a necklace that had the two

62
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 2>burstones of our kids in it, which I mean, it

63
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>really wasn't like that expensive or anything nice or fancy,

64
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 2>but you know, there was.

65
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:09.360
<v Speaker 3>It was.

66
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.960
<v Speaker 2>It was a thoughtful and meaningful gift because obviously she's

67
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 2>she loves being a mama and she's the mom of

68
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.879
<v Speaker 2>my kids, so that's probably like one of the I

69
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 2>don't want to act like it was some great creative idea.

70
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure other people have thought of the same thing,

71
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 2>but I thought, okay, that at least will just not

72
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>be some random piece of jewelry that I don't know

73
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.120
<v Speaker 2>if she would like it because I don't know anything

74
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.240
<v Speaker 2>about you know, style when it comes to H two jewelry.

75
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, she's not getting any gold jewelry this year.

76
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 2>But we are gonna have a nice little weekend. We've

77
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 2>got uh my mom and stepdad are gonna be watching

78
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:41.639
<v Speaker 2>both kids.

79
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 3>So we're gonna do a little staycation.

80
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:44.400
<v Speaker 2>We've got a we got a nice room at the

81
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Moxie Hotel downtown, so right, kind of have a nice

82
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 2>date night. So looking forward to it, and I am

83
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.680
<v Speaker 2>open to uh some suggestions for for dinner. Austin gave

84
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 2>me a great one, and uh, we may end up there,

85
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 2>but you know you did tell me ahead of time

86
00:03:58.080 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 2>a little little.

87
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 3>Pricey yeah repeal, Yes, dude, I.

88
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:03.319
<v Speaker 2>Hope to be there at some point, but we may

89
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 2>and we may end up their Saturday. I guess it

90
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:06.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of depends on how the night goes.

91
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.639
<v Speaker 4>But whipped Potatoes there, So where is that actually at

92
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.919
<v Speaker 4>It's on It's on mainstream. I think it's like right

93
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 4>next to I may be wrong, but it's like kind

94
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 4>of like it's on Whiskey Row, kind of like next

95
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 4>to dot crows a little bit.

96
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 3>Maybe not directly next to them, but I see it.

97
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so, and this is one of the things I

98
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.800
<v Speaker 2>love about Google Maps. And I'm late to seeing this,

99
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 2>but like you go to Google Maps, like it'll show

100
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:33.759
<v Speaker 2>you like a picture of like what you're where. I

101
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>know exactly where it is now, right in a cool little,

102
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.800
<v Speaker 2>uh little spot. It's actually not far off from where

103
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 2>we're or we're staying, so maybe we do end up there,

104
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 2>by the way, I felt really dumb when I just

105
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:48.519
<v Speaker 2>realized in the last few months that if you do

106
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.600
<v Speaker 2>put in an address in Google Maps, you can click

107
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.000
<v Speaker 2>like the little image thing and it'll show you like

108
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess when the Google vehicle drives around, they just

109
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 2>take you know, I'm sure you've seen them before, the

110
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Google car that has that cam. I'm on it. So

111
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.040
<v Speaker 2>like that helps me at times like, Okay, I think

112
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm going in the right direction, I think this address

113
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.120
<v Speaker 2>is the correct place, and then I'll I'll be able

114
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.519
<v Speaker 2>to pull up like a picture of what the location

115
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 2>looks like and I'll either remember, yeah, that's it, or

116
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 2>at least I'll know what I'm looking for if I'm

117
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 2>going for the first time. I consider myself to be

118
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>somewhat savvy when it comes to like how to really

119
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 2>utilize technology to your advantage. But I felt like I

120
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 2>missed out on a lot. I think it might have

121
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.519
<v Speaker 2>been who was it that told me you could do that?

122
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Somebody who even if I remembered, I wouldn't say their name,

123
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.399
<v Speaker 2>because like I remember thinking, like, how does this person

124
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.480
<v Speaker 2>know that? And I didn't. I was assuming that they're,

125
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, two decades behind an understanding technology. But anyways,

126
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.040
<v Speaker 2>happy anniversary to my to my lovely wife.

127
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 3>We we got it good. We hope we're as young

128
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.160
<v Speaker 3>and as hot as you guys are.

129
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh, thank you, thank you very much. I've I now

130
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.480
<v Speaker 2>am in a position where like it was the same

131
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:01.399
<v Speaker 2>way with John the company having a baby, Like now

132
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm somebody that does have a little wisdom when it

133
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.279
<v Speaker 2>comes to that, you know, two time sex average. I

134
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.920
<v Speaker 2>got two kids, I mean father too. Let's not let's

135
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.000
<v Speaker 2>not let's not ignore that, you know I did, I did.

136
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.120
<v Speaker 2>I did produce two children with this lovely woman. Today

137
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>possibly we'll see, we'll see. You know, I haven't got

138
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the snip yet, and you know she might, although I

139
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 2>don't know not to take the conversation in a different direction.

140
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.439
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not talking about my sex life, trust me,

141
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.519
<v Speaker 2>that wouldn't be good for radio. I'm just I mean,

142
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.000
<v Speaker 2>if I was given the opportunity to talk about it,

143
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I'd be able to really, you know,

144
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.879
<v Speaker 2>make it interesting, because it's not like it's some crazy

145
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 2>exciting thing. But nonetheless, I'll just stop talking now. I'm

146
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna keep putting my foot in my mouth. But she

147
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.680
<v Speaker 2>at times will like kind of flirt with the idea

148
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.000
<v Speaker 2>of having another kid, and like I can't ever tell

149
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 2>if she's just like completely joking or if you know,

150
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:52.759
<v Speaker 2>like she's actually serious, because you know, that's something I

151
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:54.279
<v Speaker 2>need to know, like you were doing this or not,

152
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, is it happening or what?

153
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 3>So anyway, like a Kentucky Derby winner, Well.

154
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.040
<v Speaker 2>I doubt you know that we would ever have another kid,

155
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.480
<v Speaker 2>but you know, you never know, And I'm all, you know,

156
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:07.959
<v Speaker 2>if so, I mean that that's that would be exciting,

157
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.879
<v Speaker 2>but maybe that's maybe that's here I am talking about

158
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 2>our personal life on the show, which I'm sure she

159
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:14.600
<v Speaker 2>probably doesn't want any of our business out there, but

160
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 2>like maybe that maybe that'll be something I really try

161
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:17.759
<v Speaker 2>to get this weekend is clarity.

162
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 3>Okay, are you kidding? Because what I think.

163
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:22.959
<v Speaker 2>Has happened is her sister my my I was gonna

164
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:24.399
<v Speaker 2>call her my niece. She's not money, she's my sister

165
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.639
<v Speaker 2>in law, but she's her younger sister. She just had

166
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.240
<v Speaker 2>her second baby, and the baby's about a month old now,

167
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.480
<v Speaker 2>and she's got the baby fever because she's been around

168
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:33.639
<v Speaker 2>a new baby, which I need to tell her like, hey,

169
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.519
<v Speaker 2>we love that baby, and uh, you know we but

170
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.439
<v Speaker 2>like do that do we really want to do this

171
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:42.199
<v Speaker 2>all over again? So anyways, last thing before we move

172
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.120
<v Speaker 2>on and dive back into you know, the hard hitting

173
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.399
<v Speaker 2>sports show that this is I just mentioned, you know,

174
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>I try to try to find ways to really utilize technology,

175
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.759
<v Speaker 2>learn about it and how it can it can benefit me?

176
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.079
<v Speaker 2>Or do you use AI for much of anything? Austin?

177
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh Yeah, okay, so I use it a lot.

178
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 2>So I kind of feel like for a lot of

179
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:04.480
<v Speaker 2>folks me me, especially maybe even you, there was like

180
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.600
<v Speaker 2>the noise about AI was this fear that it was

181
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.560
<v Speaker 2>going to take all these jobs, and I'm sure it

182
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.279
<v Speaker 2>has to an extent and that it was going to

183
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, like, let me give you an example of

184
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 2>the extreme side of artificial intelligence. When I hear music

185
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.439
<v Speaker 2>that is completely AI. That's scary to me because you

186
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.360
<v Speaker 2>would not know that it's not a real artist. You

187
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.519
<v Speaker 2>would not know that it's not like somebody who is

188
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:30.399
<v Speaker 2>super like that that really I mean, it's it's it's

189
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:34.600
<v Speaker 2>how gifted. I guess technologically we have advanced to where

190
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:38.240
<v Speaker 2>they can, like whoever whoever creates artificial intelligence and the

191
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.399
<v Speaker 2>different tools that you can you know, you can use

192
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 2>to to, you know, do things that I would have

193
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 2>never believed you can do until I saw it. Like

194
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.240
<v Speaker 2>that's cool and all, But like if if there could

195
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:50.320
<v Speaker 2>be a song that I listened to for you know,

196
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:52.600
<v Speaker 2>two months that I'm like, man, it's from my favorite

197
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.240
<v Speaker 2>songs ever, I just love this song.

198
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:54.840
<v Speaker 3>It's great.

199
00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:57.159
<v Speaker 2>But then if I found out, like two months later

200
00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:00.000
<v Speaker 2>that it wasn't real, it was just created by technology,

201
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.600
<v Speaker 2>I would I would I would not like it, like,

202
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 2>because I would I would know that it's not real.

203
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Like music is one thing that like, we should never

204
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:11.720
<v Speaker 2>use AI in any way because at that point you're

205
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.320
<v Speaker 2>truly taking away what it is, which is art. But again,

206
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.360
<v Speaker 2>like some of the music you like, there's TikTok channels

207
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:20.519
<v Speaker 2>that are specifically set up to just create silly songs

208
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:23.200
<v Speaker 2>or sometimes songs that like are good and you would

209
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 2>never like, you'd never know, Like somebody recreated a Drake

210
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.559
<v Speaker 2>in the Weekend song about a year ago and it

211
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.000
<v Speaker 2>went like crazy viral and it was I think one

212
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 2>of the first songs that like took off that was

213
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.440
<v Speaker 2>clearly AI and everybody realized or I shouldn't say, I mean,

214
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:38.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it was clearly AI. I don't

215
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:39.759
<v Speaker 2>think you know, if nobody told you, but like it

216
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:42.879
<v Speaker 2>was scary for people to realize. So you're telling me, AI,

217
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:44.639
<v Speaker 2>is that powerful to where you could give us this

218
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 2>and just tell us that it's Drake and and future

219
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:49.960
<v Speaker 2>of the Weekend and we wouldn't know, And you know.

220
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:51.039
<v Speaker 3>That's the truth.

221
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.759
<v Speaker 2>So long story short, the noise was always about all

222
00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:55.679
<v Speaker 2>this is scary, which I guess that technically that is

223
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.159
<v Speaker 2>still the case in some aspects. But I now have

224
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 2>realized all the things you can do to make your

225
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:02.480
<v Speaker 2>life easier, and I guess that's kind of where you're

226
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:04.879
<v Speaker 2>at now, right, Like you realize, you know why, you'd

227
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.240
<v Speaker 2>be foolish not to learn how to utilize it to

228
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.120
<v Speaker 2>really help you in a variety of ways. And it's

229
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.080
<v Speaker 2>really not that difficult to utilize. And now there's I

230
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:17.600
<v Speaker 2>have learned that to really get the full benefit of

231
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.679
<v Speaker 2>using AI for certain things, and you can use it

232
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.879
<v Speaker 2>for a lot of things. Trust me. There's a lot

233
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.080
<v Speaker 2>of these platforms that will make you pay like a

234
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:26.759
<v Speaker 2>monthly fee to be able to use it as much

235
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:28.600
<v Speaker 2>as you want. They'll give you a couple of free

236
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.360
<v Speaker 2>chances to kind of see how powerful it is, and

237
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.279
<v Speaker 2>then if you like it, you can then you know,

238
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.600
<v Speaker 2>subscribe and you can use it endlessly. And I'm doing

239
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.039
<v Speaker 2>that now. There's a few different services that I've realized

240
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:42.279
<v Speaker 2>that that really that really like honestly show prep not ideas,

241
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:46.960
<v Speaker 2>not content that like like I'm not telling hey, AI

242
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:49.960
<v Speaker 2>prepare a show for me, because even if it could

243
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:52.360
<v Speaker 2>do that, that would take out all the fun and

244
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.360
<v Speaker 2>value of what doing this is.

245
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:55.919
<v Speaker 3>Do you have a favorite AI?

246
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I use chad GPT for a lot of stuff,

247
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.120
<v Speaker 2>but when it comes and really that's the one I

248
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:07.000
<v Speaker 2>utilize most. But you know, like I guess, really that's right,

249
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.639
<v Speaker 2>but Twitter now has one. I guess X is what

250
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.039
<v Speaker 2>it's called. But there's Grock is amazing.

251
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:14.519
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it's my favorite.

252
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:17.320
<v Speaker 2>So I pay for the for the premium account. And

253
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:19.879
<v Speaker 2>it's because you can, first of all, you can earn

254
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:21.720
<v Speaker 2>some money if you have a decent amount of following.

255
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:23.600
<v Speaker 2>It's not a lot of money, but you know, it

256
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.759
<v Speaker 2>pays for itself because I now have you know, I

257
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.279
<v Speaker 2>get enough traffic on my tweets to where it justifies

258
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:30.840
<v Speaker 2>the you know, twenty nine to nine to nine a

259
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:31.639
<v Speaker 2>month or whatever it is.

260
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:33.960
<v Speaker 3>But also groc is like.

261
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Maybe the most useful one that I have found for

262
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.559
<v Speaker 2>preparing for the show, because what I can do is

263
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I can just click the Grock button on a tweet

264
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:44.639
<v Speaker 2>that either has a lengthy exchange a thread I should say,

265
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.600
<v Speaker 2>or an article or just like a long tweet, and

266
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:50.919
<v Speaker 2>I click the Crock button and it gives me like

267
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:54.600
<v Speaker 2>three or four bullet points and also another bullet point

268
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:57.519
<v Speaker 2>that has like reaction to what the story is. And it,

269
00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:59.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it makes it to where I don't have

270
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 2>to read every single article. I can just get really

271
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.600
<v Speaker 2>the gist of what it is and it's already like

272
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:06.399
<v Speaker 2>in bullet point form to where I can reference that

273
00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:08.360
<v Speaker 2>on the show. Like it makes it a lot easier

274
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:12.279
<v Speaker 2>to compile I what I put together every day for

275
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.159
<v Speaker 2>show preps. So you know, I just I used to

276
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:17.559
<v Speaker 2>be scared about AI, Like you know, it's kind of crazy.

277
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.559
<v Speaker 2>It's scary, they're we're all going to become robots, and

278
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:21.200
<v Speaker 2>who knows, maybe that ends up still happening.

279
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:22.799
<v Speaker 3>But I would encourage you.

280
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, no matter what it is you do

281
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.120
<v Speaker 2>for work, or maybe what you do for like a

282
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.960
<v Speaker 2>hobby that's not work, you can probably find an AI

283
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.759
<v Speaker 2>tool and really ched gbt is is is a powerful

284
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.279
<v Speaker 2>one for sure, to where like you might you might think, Okay,

285
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe this AI stuff isn't so bad. It can really

286
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:38.519
<v Speaker 2>help me.

287
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.159
<v Speaker 3>What do you use it for? I use it for

288
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.360
<v Speaker 3>that what you do for the marketing stuff or the promotion?

289
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:45.600
<v Speaker 4>Right, I use it if I'm having a hard time

290
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.639
<v Speaker 4>trying to put together like something like a like a

291
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.360
<v Speaker 4>social media post, something that'll capture your attention, I'll just

292
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:55.320
<v Speaker 4>tell it, like, Hey, make me a Facebook, Instagram post,

293
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:59.000
<v Speaker 4>ex post about this, include these bullet points, make it

294
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:04.559
<v Speaker 4>sound fun and loot emojis Also if sometimes if I

295
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:06.759
<v Speaker 4>just want to get like a question and I realize

296
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:09.039
<v Speaker 4>that GROC only it just not only goes off just

297
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.480
<v Speaker 4>its own AI, but it also just goes off of

298
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:14.519
<v Speaker 4>Twitter too, and so like it searches tweets And that's

299
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.039
<v Speaker 4>how like some I've asked you, I've used it for

300
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:20.240
<v Speaker 4>interviews for like babyfaces and stuff like that. Some of

301
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.679
<v Speaker 4>the uh meta ais is all right. Chatted chat GPTs

302
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.799
<v Speaker 4>is all right, but they're not as up to date

303
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.679
<v Speaker 4>as GROC is because they could go by real time posts.

304
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.200
<v Speaker 4>So like when I'm asking something about like a wrestler

305
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:36.200
<v Speaker 4>storyline or something that recently happened to them online to

306
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:38.919
<v Speaker 4>try and gain traction, GROC will take some of that

307
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.559
<v Speaker 4>stuff and add it into the question for me. Because

308
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:43.799
<v Speaker 4>I don't feel like I'm really like a great interviewer,

309
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:46.639
<v Speaker 4>just because a lot of the times I just like

310
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.840
<v Speaker 4>to go off the feeling. I don't like having no

311
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.840
<v Speaker 4>exactly what you mean stuff for me. But when I

312
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.000
<v Speaker 4>get into the action and someone's right there in front

313
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.200
<v Speaker 4>of me, I kind of I get a little nervous.

314
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:58.120
<v Speaker 4>It's so if I have something right there to go

315
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:00.080
<v Speaker 4>off of, GROC always helps me out with that.

316
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Reference point can go a long way for that kind

317
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.200
<v Speaker 2>of stuff, and you can still kind of reference it

318
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.159
<v Speaker 2>and then put your own flavor on it and do

319
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:10.279
<v Speaker 2>it the way you want to where correct, you know,

320
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.440
<v Speaker 2>and maybe some people wouldn't care, but you wouldn't feel

321
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:17.840
<v Speaker 2>like you truly relied solely on artificial intelligence to do

322
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 2>the interview. But it gave you something to kind of

323
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 2>reference it. And that's I mean, I did the exact

324
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.399
<v Speaker 2>same thing. I don't remember which president it was one

325
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.080
<v Speaker 2>of the former presidents that passed away right around the

326
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.000
<v Speaker 2>beginning of January. I believe it was might have been, Yeah,

327
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.759
<v Speaker 2>I think it was either very into December early January,

328
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.440
<v Speaker 2>one of the former presidents passed away. And at the

329
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.039
<v Speaker 2>time I was filling in for Tony Cruz on has

330
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:38.879
<v Speaker 2>and you know, that was one of those days where like,

331
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:40.840
<v Speaker 2>regardless of what I wanted to talk about, like I

332
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:42.399
<v Speaker 2>knew that that was going to be something that came

333
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.759
<v Speaker 2>up on eight p forty because obviously that's the type

334
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:46.600
<v Speaker 2>of stuff that you would talk about, not the whole show,

335
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:48.320
<v Speaker 2>but like it's going to be a piece of it.

336
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.960
<v Speaker 2>So we had a correspondent from a belief Fox New

337
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:54.679
<v Speaker 2>or no CBS, CBS or NBC came on, and I

338
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.759
<v Speaker 2>really didn't even know where to start. So sure enough,

339
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:00.240
<v Speaker 2>I asked Chad Gpt. I said, Hey, I'm a sports guy.

340
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:04.919
<v Speaker 2>I you know, I'm I'm gonna be asking a you know,

341
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:08.240
<v Speaker 2>political question. Can you give me an idea as far

342
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:10.360
<v Speaker 2>as like what what type of things would need to

343
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:13.840
<v Speaker 2>be you know, we would should be asked given what

344
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:15.799
<v Speaker 2>the you know, given what the story is or whatnot.

345
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:17.919
<v Speaker 2>And all it did was just give me like four

346
00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:21.279
<v Speaker 2>facts about the president himself and I can't I'm pretty

347
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:22.399
<v Speaker 2>sure I know who it is, but I don't want

348
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:23.759
<v Speaker 2>to get wrong and say they're wrong president. I don't

349
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:25.519
<v Speaker 2>want to kill a president today, you know, by just

350
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:26.960
<v Speaker 2>not remembering which one it actually was.

351
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:27.600
<v Speaker 3>It me.

352
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that sounds right, yeah so and that just happened recently.

353
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.720
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, so anyways, but again, it just gave me

354
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.720
<v Speaker 2>like a reference. You know, I would never ever and again,

355
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.320
<v Speaker 2>even if you could get away with it like nobody knowing, it.

356
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Would absolutely completely.

357
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:45.679
<v Speaker 2>Take away I think any fun that you get out

358
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:47.960
<v Speaker 2>of this because in a way like not to not

359
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:49.840
<v Speaker 2>to be I don't trust me. I know what we

360
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.639
<v Speaker 2>what we do here is not considered like super serious

361
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.519
<v Speaker 2>stuff and it's fun and all that, which it is.

362
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:57.039
<v Speaker 2>But like, you know, the ability to be creative and

363
00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:58.519
<v Speaker 2>like you know, kind of treat a show as a

364
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:00.519
<v Speaker 2>canvas and and and make it what you want. That's

365
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:04.679
<v Speaker 2>what makes this fun. So you know, I really, I

366
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.200
<v Speaker 2>really think AI can can help people more than maybe

367
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.600
<v Speaker 2>a lot of folks actually actually realize.

368
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:13.519
<v Speaker 3>Here's the real question. When you're done, do you think AI?

369
00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Do you say thank you?

370
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Grock?

371
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:15.559
<v Speaker 2>No?

372
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:16.159
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

373
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.639
<v Speaker 4>Should I h That's what I do, just just so

374
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:21.600
<v Speaker 4>they remember when they inevitably, you know, get a mind

375
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:23.600
<v Speaker 4>of their own and become self aware.

376
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:25.159
<v Speaker 2>When you've asked them and shared enough to where they

377
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.200
<v Speaker 2>may be able to take over your life. Like they

378
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.000
<v Speaker 2>may be kind to you about it because you were nice.

379
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:29.440
<v Speaker 3>That's good.

380
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.200
<v Speaker 2>I may start doing that, bro exactly, and you're onto something.

381
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:34.679
<v Speaker 4>Selfishly, you know, I'll pop in a gummy sometimes and

382
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.039
<v Speaker 4>while I'm sitting there researching, I'll just start to ask

383
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:39.120
<v Speaker 4>a bunch of random questions, and oh, you can learn

384
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:43.559
<v Speaker 4>a lot. Had a conversation just you know, shooting the

385
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:46.519
<v Speaker 4>s with with AI back and forth and having to

386
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:48.200
<v Speaker 4>tell me some jokes every now and then, and I'll

387
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:49.840
<v Speaker 4>be like, all right, I'm going to sleep, thank you,

388
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:51.320
<v Speaker 4>and you know what, it will tell me good night,

389
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:53.519
<v Speaker 4>come talk to me whenever you want to.

390
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Here in here, you.

391
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Were letting me know that there's there's even other ways

392
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:00.360
<v Speaker 2>to utilize AI that I wasn't.

393
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:01.559
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, good stuff.

394
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean, I bet, let's be real, in

395
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty five years, maybe a lot of folks significant others

396
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.960
<v Speaker 2>going to be artificial intelligence and maybe you know, and

397
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:12.640
<v Speaker 2>by the way, that was one of the things that

398
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:15.359
<v Speaker 2>was at Zuckerberg. I think that was recently doing some

399
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:17.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of a might have been on THEO Vaughn actually,

400
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:20.960
<v Speaker 2>and he was talking about how when it comes to

401
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:24.559
<v Speaker 2>like mental health and whatnot, therapist that kind of stuff,

402
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.519
<v Speaker 2>like he believes the future is without question going to

403
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:31.000
<v Speaker 2>be that like that, like basically it'll be robots that

404
00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:34.079
<v Speaker 2>are AI. I guess that that is your therapist and

405
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:36.880
<v Speaker 2>is your psychiatrist that kind of thing, and that just

406
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:39.200
<v Speaker 2>sounds gross and crazy, but like again, I won't be

407
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:40.480
<v Speaker 2>shocked if we end up there.

408
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.240
<v Speaker 3>And what gets me is that just the will.

409
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.960
<v Speaker 2>People be totally comfortable realizing that the root of where

410
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.960
<v Speaker 2>they're getting said guid and you know, like from a

411
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.759
<v Speaker 2>therapist or whatnot is not a real person. But again,

412
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:58.400
<v Speaker 2>I think right now we're we're in the early stages

413
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.119
<v Speaker 2>of this thing to where people are clearly learning, Hey,

414
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:04.640
<v Speaker 2>I know that it's not an individual that I asked

415
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:06.519
<v Speaker 2>this question, meaning there's not a human on the other

416
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:09.079
<v Speaker 2>side of this this communication that I have on my phone.

417
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.799
<v Speaker 2>But man, i'd never know, you know what I mean. Like,

418
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.200
<v Speaker 2>it's again it's a balancing thing to where it's really

419
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:18.119
<v Speaker 2>impressive and it's like, wow, this is useful for this

420
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:19.759
<v Speaker 2>and that it can help me. But then also there

421
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:22.079
<v Speaker 2>are moments where I'm like, yeah, you know, this might

422
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:24.160
<v Speaker 2>like we may all just be what's the Will.

423
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Smith movie where I am robot?

424
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, look, that was pretty scary how that all came about,

425
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:31.119
<v Speaker 2>which I don't know if that's in any way a

426
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:33.519
<v Speaker 2>realistic thing. But is it I am robot or I

427
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:35.319
<v Speaker 2>robot something like something robot.

428
00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:37.359
<v Speaker 3>I think it's I am robot something robot.

429
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:39.359
<v Speaker 4>Well, Google now does the thing to where like you

430
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:42.200
<v Speaker 4>could just google something and the first answer is going

431
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:43.240
<v Speaker 4>to be AI generated.

432
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:44.960
<v Speaker 3>It's no longer the searches.

433
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:47.440
<v Speaker 2>But they are. But I think you mentioned this a

434
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.839
<v Speaker 2>moment ago. The big difference is that certain things you

435
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>search are live real time. However, like if you search

436
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:56.759
<v Speaker 2>certain things in chat GBT, they can only tell you

437
00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:59.160
<v Speaker 2>as far as going back a certain date.

438
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's why time that information was available.

439
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:04.920
<v Speaker 2>And because of what twitter x is. That's why GROCK

440
00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:08.000
<v Speaker 2>is actually really useful, because you know, there's never any

441
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.480
<v Speaker 2>real downtime. Anything that's live, that has just happened is

442
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:14.319
<v Speaker 2>oftentimes quickly being discussed on the platform. So when it

443
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.160
<v Speaker 2>uses the AI tool that's within the platform, I mean

444
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:20.960
<v Speaker 2>like it doesn't take them long to however, it works

445
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:24.319
<v Speaker 2>gather whatever info you requested. I mean, it's really really useful,

446
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and I don't want to get too used to it

447
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:29.799
<v Speaker 2>because who knows, maybe it's not there any at some point.

448
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:31.839
<v Speaker 2>But I'm going to take advantage of it while I can,

449
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:32.440
<v Speaker 2>that's for sure.

450
00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:32.880
<v Speaker 4>All Right.

451
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:34.240
<v Speaker 2>We got to get to a quick break. We'll let

452
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:36.160
<v Speaker 2>you hear more. Pat Kelsey coming up here. He is

453
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.960
<v Speaker 2>at the ACC Spring meetings. Get a good conversation with

454
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Mark Packer and Louke Hancock on set on the ACC network.

455
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:42.920
<v Speaker 3>We heard a little bit of it earlier.

456
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:46.240
<v Speaker 2>We'll hear some more as we move along. Also, we

457
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:48.960
<v Speaker 2>got to talk about the NBA playoffs, because again I'll

458
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:51.839
<v Speaker 2>continue to give credit. I think they've They've had the

459
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:56.799
<v Speaker 2>best start in a long time. I'm trying to think

460
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.440
<v Speaker 2>back on a year where the first round in the

461
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:01.720
<v Speaker 2>second round up to this point have been this entertaining

462
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:04.559
<v Speaker 2>and last night what a game, and also some more

463
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:10.359
<v Speaker 2>I guess reaction to the Mavericks winning the lottery and

464
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:12.519
<v Speaker 2>getting the number one pick and they're gonna take Cooper Flag.

465
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:16.559
<v Speaker 2>I rarely find myself listening to Mike Greenberg and thinking, yeah,

466
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.400
<v Speaker 2>what a great take. You tell them, Man, that was perfect.

467
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't agree more it me. But like Greenie, I mean,

468
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:27.480
<v Speaker 2>he was handing out body bags to anybody complaining about

469
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:31.319
<v Speaker 2>the way the NFL. I'm sorry, the NBA handles tanking.

470
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 2>So we'll let you hear that too. And again I

471
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:35.720
<v Speaker 2>usually wouldn't sell you, Hey, you're gonna They got Greenie

472
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:37.480
<v Speaker 2>on every show, which I think that's why they're bringing

473
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:40.519
<v Speaker 2>rich Eisen back because Greeney can't do everything. But he

474
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:42.319
<v Speaker 2>had something that I think is worth hearing because it's

475
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:44.759
<v Speaker 2>totally true when it comes to tanking, and it kind

476
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.119
<v Speaker 2>of it speaks to the root of what I believe

477
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.480
<v Speaker 2>has been an issue for the NBA for a while now,

478
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:52.440
<v Speaker 2>which is that it's just not competitive at times. Now again,

479
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:54.200
<v Speaker 2>the plaoffs have been a great step in the right direction.

480
00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:56.039
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, quick break, keep a locked right here on

481
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Sports Talk seven ninety.

482
00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:01.039
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's on

483
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

484
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:08.039
<v Speaker 2>That's right, it is coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's

485
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:12.880
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Appreciate you guys hanging

486
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:14.440
<v Speaker 2>out with us. We are out a little early today

487
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:17.839
<v Speaker 2>because the Louis Bats are in action this afternoon, and

488
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.799
<v Speaker 2>we'll wrap it up around five thirty five, So just

489
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:23.480
<v Speaker 2>just a heads up, we'll make the most of the

490
00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:25.480
<v Speaker 2>time that we have left here at least we'll we'll

491
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:27.880
<v Speaker 2>try to what I want to do at the five

492
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:30.640
<v Speaker 2>o'clock hour when it gets rolling. Take a look at

493
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:36.240
<v Speaker 2>the update from those covering the college football playoff spring meetings,

494
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:39.160
<v Speaker 2>because Ross Ellinger has a nice little update and I

495
00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:41.279
<v Speaker 2>think it's, you know, not a surprise, but I'll just

496
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:43.079
<v Speaker 2>read directly what it says here at the beginning of

497
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:45.599
<v Speaker 2>his as he shares his article on Twitter, it says,

498
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:49.319
<v Speaker 2>the fight over the future of college football's postseason is

499
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:53.640
<v Speaker 2>growing messy, which again I don't think there's any surprise

500
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:57.119
<v Speaker 2>there because regardless of whatever it is, they are at

501
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:01.440
<v Speaker 2>odds about, you have you have the this unrealistic expectation

502
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:04.160
<v Speaker 2>that they're all going to look out for one another

503
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:10.599
<v Speaker 2>when no, like the ACC should only be prioritizing and

504
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:13.160
<v Speaker 2>caring about what is best for them, just like the

505
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:16.039
<v Speaker 2>SEC and the Big Ten. So anyways, we'll get to

506
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:17.960
<v Speaker 2>that coming up a little bit later on, but one

507
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:20.160
<v Speaker 2>of the biggest talking points this week in sports is

508
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:22.279
<v Speaker 2>that we now know where Cooper Flag's gonna end up,

509
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:27.680
<v Speaker 2>the phenom that is believed to be one of the

510
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:30.119
<v Speaker 2>next best things in basketball. I mean, that's probably not

511
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:31.480
<v Speaker 2>the best way to describe it. I was kind of

512
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:33.680
<v Speaker 2>spinning my wheels there as far as how to say it,

513
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:35.839
<v Speaker 2>but I mean, this guy has been in the in

514
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:38.880
<v Speaker 2>the public eye for many years now, and for many

515
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:40.480
<v Speaker 2>years now there have been people saying that he has

516
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:41.880
<v Speaker 2>the potential to be one of the best that ever

517
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:44.480
<v Speaker 2>played this game. So obviously, whoever won the lottery's going

518
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:46.640
<v Speaker 2>to take him, and we now know that's the Dallas Mavericks,

519
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:48.720
<v Speaker 2>and boy did they get lucky. They've got a real

520
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:54.440
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to absolutely make people forget that Luke ever played there.

521
00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:57.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's probably not super realistic, an exaggeration, I

522
00:22:57.240 --> 00:22:59.279
<v Speaker 2>guess on my end, but I mean, as we talked

523
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:04.319
<v Speaker 2>about yesterday, Lucas great, but Cooper flag all accounts, is

524
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:08.400
<v Speaker 2>expected to be better. And if he's good early on,

525
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:11.359
<v Speaker 2>you have some good pieces, although old and often injured

526
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:14.319
<v Speaker 2>like Dallas, could be really good soon and you know

527
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:16.440
<v Speaker 2>you won't forget Luke ever happened, but you won't be

528
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.920
<v Speaker 2>sitting back thinking, man, can you believe we completely threw

529
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:23.880
<v Speaker 2>away our franchise with that trade that we made? And

530
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:26.680
<v Speaker 2>I think had the Mavericks ended up with what the

531
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.119
<v Speaker 2>twelfth or thirteenth pick, that probably would have been the

532
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:30.799
<v Speaker 2>way a lot of their fans felt. And look, I

533
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.319
<v Speaker 2>don't think Dallas probably had any real belief they were

534
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:34.960
<v Speaker 2>going to be I mean again, they had a one

535
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:37.720
<v Speaker 2>point something percent chance of getting the number one pick

536
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.200
<v Speaker 2>and they got it. So I mean that's the unexpected

537
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:42.960
<v Speaker 2>lottery winner. I mean, quite literally, that's what it was.

538
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:48.920
<v Speaker 2>So teams now tank in hopes of getting a better

539
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:51.000
<v Speaker 2>chance at getting a draft pick that they want at

540
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:53.920
<v Speaker 2>the top of the draft. They set players out at

541
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:56.759
<v Speaker 2>times because you know, load management or whatever rest, and

542
00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:59.839
<v Speaker 2>sometimes it's you know, easy to see that they are

543
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.880
<v Speaker 2>they are absolutely not doing that just because of the rest.

544
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:06.160
<v Speaker 2>They're just they're not they don't want to win, and

545
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:08.279
<v Speaker 2>they're trying to be as deceptive as possible to make

546
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:10.240
<v Speaker 2>it look like they're just really bad. And some teams

547
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:13.680
<v Speaker 2>don't have to try hard to tank, others do, and

548
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:18.880
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of reaction, I guess I should say,

549
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:21.400
<v Speaker 2>for lack of a better word, about the Mavericks winning

550
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:24.400
<v Speaker 2>the lottery and those that are crying poor me are

551
00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:28.440
<v Speaker 2>teams that tanked. And I didn't even realize this, but

552
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Adam Silver is now handling the lottery differently in the

553
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:35.039
<v Speaker 2>NBA than than previous because he's trying to put an

554
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:38.119
<v Speaker 2>end to teams just deciding we're gonna suck because we

555
00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:40.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, we just want to. We want to we

556
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:43.319
<v Speaker 2>don't want to compete because we're just holding out hope

557
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:46.000
<v Speaker 2>that we can get a good draft pick, like teams

558
00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:48.279
<v Speaker 2>that have a terrible history of he actually you know,

559
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.680
<v Speaker 2>drafting well are openly not trying to win and hopes

560
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:55.559
<v Speaker 2>that they can get another good draft pick, and you know,

561
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:57.400
<v Speaker 2>hope that this time around they won't mess it up.

562
00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:59.240
<v Speaker 2>So this is what Greenberg had to say, and I

563
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:01.799
<v Speaker 2>just felt like it was, you know, it needed to

564
00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:02.279
<v Speaker 2>be said, and.

565
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:02.880
<v Speaker 3>It's the truth.

566
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Tanking will always be there to an extent, but the

567
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:09.759
<v Speaker 2>fact that it's just so in your face as an

568
00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:13.000
<v Speaker 2>NBA casual fan like I am, that a lot of

569
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:15.319
<v Speaker 2>teams don't even care if they win or lose night in,

570
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.119
<v Speaker 2>night in and night out in an eighty two game season,

571
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:21.119
<v Speaker 2>like you gotta figure, you gotta, you gotta do something

572
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:23.559
<v Speaker 2>to improve the optics to your to your customers, to

573
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:27.799
<v Speaker 2>your fans, because if we know that nobody really cares

574
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:30.359
<v Speaker 2>more often than not in the regular season because they

575
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:32.440
<v Speaker 2>play too many games and you know, now you can

576
00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:36.319
<v Speaker 2>even play in to get into the playoff like over time,

577
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:39.279
<v Speaker 2>and it's happened. People don't watch anymore, and I mean

578
00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:43.119
<v Speaker 2>NBA viewership is down substantially, and I think a root

579
00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:46.079
<v Speaker 2>of that is that is that it's just been like again,

580
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:47.559
<v Speaker 2>just think of just say it out loud. We're used

581
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:49.960
<v Speaker 2>to it by now, but NBA teams will just tell

582
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:52.160
<v Speaker 2>you a player is just not gonna play despite making

583
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:55.599
<v Speaker 2>millions of dollars, despite being fully healthy. Yeah, load management,

584
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:57.519
<v Speaker 2>We're just gonna sit him for the next few games

585
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:00.440
<v Speaker 2>just because, like that's insane. But we're we're used to

586
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:01.880
<v Speaker 2>it because it's been a thing for a while now.

587
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:04.839
<v Speaker 2>But here's Greenberg, and I thought he put it put

588
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:05.480
<v Speaker 2>it very well.

589
00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:08.279
<v Speaker 5>The Utah Jazz got the fifth pick last night. That

590
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:11.519
<v Speaker 5>means that the team with the worst record has now

591
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:17.599
<v Speaker 5>not selected first overall in seven straight seasons, coinciding with

592
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:21.079
<v Speaker 5>the start of the new lottery format. So when Adam

593
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:25.119
<v Speaker 5>Silver changed around, tweaked a few things there. He did it,

594
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:27.319
<v Speaker 5>and he came on the show and talked about it

595
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:32.559
<v Speaker 5>because he recognizes, as should every sports fan. Tanking is

596
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:37.119
<v Speaker 5>a scourge. Tanking is a disgrace. Tanking runs contrary to

597
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:43.359
<v Speaker 5>literally everything sports is designed to be incentivizing. Losing is

598
00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:47.200
<v Speaker 5>the worst mistake any sport can possibly make, any sports

599
00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:49.880
<v Speaker 5>league can make, and as a result, I think it

600
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:53.279
<v Speaker 5>is great news. People saying, oh, this isn't working because

601
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:54.839
<v Speaker 5>the worst teams they aren't getting.

602
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:55.519
<v Speaker 1>The pick, shut up.

603
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:58.759
<v Speaker 5>That's exactly It's the wrong way to look at it.

604
00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:02.519
<v Speaker 5>This way, win games. Go out there and win games

605
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:04.440
<v Speaker 5>and see what happens. And you know what should happen.

606
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:08.319
<v Speaker 5>The NFL should add this, Yes, yes, every sport should

607
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.920
<v Speaker 5>had this. The lottery is a brilliant idea and I

608
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:15.359
<v Speaker 5>would completely favor I know Chefty was on talking about

609
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.160
<v Speaker 5>it on the radio this morning. I would absolutely be

610
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:20.680
<v Speaker 5>in favor of the NFL going to some sort of

611
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:23.519
<v Speaker 5>draft lottery so you stop with the tanking, which is

612
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:25.000
<v Speaker 5>the worst thing in sports you had.

613
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:28.160
<v Speaker 2>I totally agree, and I think it would change a

614
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:30.279
<v Speaker 2>lot about the NFL. The NFL is so different because

615
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:37.240
<v Speaker 2>there's such fewer games. But like, I remember having sort

616
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.039
<v Speaker 2>of that mindset of like as a fan myself. I mean,

617
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:43.920
<v Speaker 2>it's just unnatural to ever turn on your TV when

618
00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:48.279
<v Speaker 2>your team's on and want them to lose. I mean

619
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:50.400
<v Speaker 2>there was kind of a weird balancing of that when

620
00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Kenny Payne was here, because you felt like, if you

621
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:54.400
<v Speaker 2>want a few more games than he did, maybe they'd

622
00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:56.359
<v Speaker 2>keep him. So it was like, Okay, we need to

623
00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:58.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, we need to be bad enough to where like,

624
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:00.640
<v Speaker 2>but you don't root them to lose.

625
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:01.000
<v Speaker 3>You can't.

626
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:03.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I just people can do whatever they want.

627
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:05.799
<v Speaker 2>I can only speak for myself, but I wouldn't be

628
00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:10.279
<v Speaker 2>able to genuinely watch Louisville in any way and say

629
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.279
<v Speaker 2>I hope that they don't win this game, Like I

630
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:14.559
<v Speaker 2>just it's it's an when that's all you've ever done

631
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:16.319
<v Speaker 2>and you put so much into it, and you are,

632
00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:20.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, have invested a lot emotionally, probably more than

633
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:23.599
<v Speaker 2>most normal people. I mean, and I'm one of the

634
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:25.559
<v Speaker 2>non normal people, is what I'm saying. Like it's just

635
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:29.359
<v Speaker 2>unnatural and damn near impossible to have that emotion of like, yeah,

636
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:31.599
<v Speaker 2>I hope the other team beats us today. So the

637
00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Colts at times have had situations where they're not good,

638
00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:37.039
<v Speaker 2>and like if it ends up playing out to where

639
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:38.680
<v Speaker 2>they get a great pick because they were bad, then

640
00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:41.039
<v Speaker 2>that is a good scenario. But I can't watch my

641
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Colts and want them to lose, even though there have

642
00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:46.720
<v Speaker 2>been times where it's like, okay, you keep you keep losing,

643
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:48.559
<v Speaker 2>then we'll be in a better spot to draft. So

644
00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:51.519
<v Speaker 2>again I understand the NFL, like you're really not doing

645
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:54.920
<v Speaker 2>your job if you're not two things. You're not doing

646
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:58.559
<v Speaker 2>your job if you're not competing and trying every single

647
00:28:58.640 --> 00:29:00.880
<v Speaker 2>day to go to work and get better to again

648
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:03.640
<v Speaker 2>in the end, win games. That's what you're paid to do.

649
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:06.119
<v Speaker 2>In every aspect. No matter what your role is within

650
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:09.200
<v Speaker 2>a staff on an NFL team, you are there to

651
00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:12.400
<v Speaker 2>put in work to where in hopes that the team wins. Now,

652
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:15.240
<v Speaker 2>some have a much bigger factor in that than others,

653
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:17.160
<v Speaker 2>but that's what this is all about.

654
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:18.279
<v Speaker 3>You do it to win.

655
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:22.119
<v Speaker 2>But also on the other side of it, if you

656
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.119
<v Speaker 2>know that you could potentially finish strong and not make

657
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:28.680
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs, but you know have three more wins at

658
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:30.519
<v Speaker 2>the end of the season and that would be a

659
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.079
<v Speaker 2>strong finish, you know you always would rather win than lose,

660
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:35.319
<v Speaker 2>but it will put you in a worse position for

661
00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:39.519
<v Speaker 2>your draft placement. Like that puts the NFL decision makers,

662
00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:41.759
<v Speaker 2>I think, in a tough spot because it's unnatural. Like

663
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.440
<v Speaker 2>I'll never criticize anybody who won't tank. I'll never criticize

664
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:48.960
<v Speaker 2>players who throw their franchise under the bus and call

665
00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:51.480
<v Speaker 2>them out because they want to win. That's why they're there,

666
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:54.000
<v Speaker 2>That's why they're in the NFL because they have a

667
00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:56.160
<v Speaker 2>legitimate level of competitive drive.

668
00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:58.039
<v Speaker 3>To where they're.

669
00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:00.519
<v Speaker 2>Talented and gifted, but they do it to win, Like

670
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:03.160
<v Speaker 2>that's what it's from the beginning of ever playing sports.

671
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:06.319
<v Speaker 2>Why do you do it to compete? In hopes of

672
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:10.319
<v Speaker 2>getting a win. So I don't think the NFL will

673
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:11.680
<v Speaker 2>make any kind of change, but if they did, I

674
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:16.319
<v Speaker 2>would be fine with it, because again, any league, any sport,

675
00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:21.279
<v Speaker 2>any level, just like Greenie said, incentivizing you to intentionally

676
00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:24.079
<v Speaker 2>try to lose, that's a terrible way to do it.

677
00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:29.480
<v Speaker 2>That is broken, and it just it's foolish, it really is.

678
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:36.519
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, yeah, I thought Greenee was spot on and

679
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:38.039
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to share that with you guys as well.

680
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:40.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break before we do that. Though there's

681
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:42.599
<v Speaker 2>no way this is a coincidence. You guys, remember what

682
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:45.319
<v Speaker 2>happened about a year ago, right Louisville had the spotlight

683
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:49.480
<v Speaker 2>on it in a major way national, in fact, across

684
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:53.440
<v Speaker 2>the planet globally. There were a lot of people talking

685
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:56.039
<v Speaker 2>about what went on in Louisville. And it was when

686
00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:02.000
<v Speaker 2>an officer with LMPD to say, to Cuff and stuff,

687
00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:06.599
<v Speaker 2>Scotty Scheffler take him down to get booked at our jail,

688
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:09.119
<v Speaker 2>which still doesn't really seem real, but that was I mean,

689
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:12.759
<v Speaker 2>that was a bad look for Louisville, and unfortunately, you know,

690
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:15.839
<v Speaker 2>it was clearly avoidable in every way. We've since learned

691
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:18.160
<v Speaker 2>that it was very much avoidable, and I think that,

692
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:20.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, it could have been handled better, for sure,

693
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:23.640
<v Speaker 2>But I also didn't quite realize just how well the

694
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:27.279
<v Speaker 2>story itself is going to be. I mean, it's controversial,

695
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:29.920
<v Speaker 2>it's drama, it's crime like, it has all the bells

696
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.240
<v Speaker 2>and whistles that really put a story above others. But

697
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:35.440
<v Speaker 2>it's also like, you can't make this stuff up. And

698
00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:38.599
<v Speaker 2>it was a worldwide story about Scotty Scheffler getting arrested

699
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:42.000
<v Speaker 2>on his way to compete at Balhalla in the PGA Championship.

700
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:45.920
<v Speaker 2>So Scotty Scheffler today shows up with the pg Championship

701
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:51.440
<v Speaker 2>wearing a distinctive color orange that happens to look almost

702
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:54.200
<v Speaker 2>the exact same color as the orange jumpsuit he wore

703
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:57.039
<v Speaker 2>as he got booked into Louisville Metro corrections. I happen

704
00:31:57.119 --> 00:31:59.559
<v Speaker 2>to believe there's no scenario that that's a coincidence. And

705
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:01.759
<v Speaker 2>I guess I don't know a lot about Scheffler as

706
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:04.200
<v Speaker 2>an individual, don't really know a lot about golf, as

707
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I've let you guys know before, but I feel like

708
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:08.640
<v Speaker 2>he has at least shown some signs of being willing

709
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:10.319
<v Speaker 2>to kind of like lean into a joke and have

710
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:14.160
<v Speaker 2>some fun with it. And I you know, I don't

711
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:16.160
<v Speaker 2>blame him. I don't blame him. He could have been

712
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:18.559
<v Speaker 2>and should have been. I think a lot more. You know,

713
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:21.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people wouldn't have handled that the way

714
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:23.160
<v Speaker 2>he did, in my opinion, and I'm happy that he did,

715
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:24.960
<v Speaker 2>because you know, it's not some people are just going

716
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:27.880
<v Speaker 2>to forget about today, you know, So again, I think

717
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:31.000
<v Speaker 2>he handled it better than most would. But the bene

718
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:34.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, if we if this is the end result,

719
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:36.359
<v Speaker 2>that he always wears that orange every year the PGA

720
00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Championship happens. I mean it's fair, Like I get it, Like,

721
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:42.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, make fun of our police department who made

722
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:45.279
<v Speaker 2>a big mistake. And again one or two that were involved.

723
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:48.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, they don't represent you know, the entire group,

724
00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:52.079
<v Speaker 2>but man, learning about some things that previously took place

725
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:55.920
<v Speaker 2>or actually took place after the fact, two specific officers,

726
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:58.119
<v Speaker 2>I remember thinking like, well, yeah, like that, these are

727
00:32:58.160 --> 00:32:59.279
<v Speaker 2>the kind of people that, you know, we're.

728
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:00.279
<v Speaker 3>Supposed to just take their work for.

729
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:02.359
<v Speaker 2>But if we knew what they'd been written up for,

730
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:04.519
<v Speaker 2>what they've been reprimanded for, like we would think, yeah,

731
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:06.640
<v Speaker 2>this is the kind of unfortunate This is the kind

732
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:09.799
<v Speaker 2>of officer that might stretch something and make it something

733
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:12.319
<v Speaker 2>way bigger than it needs to be. Because there's a

734
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:14.880
<v Speaker 2>lot to unpack from that whole situation. But the one

735
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:16.920
<v Speaker 2>thing that still sticks with me a year later was

736
00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:20.240
<v Speaker 2>that whole thing was just avoidable and it became a

737
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:23.039
<v Speaker 2>black eye for Louisville, became a black eye for LMPD,

738
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:27.079
<v Speaker 2>and you know it's unfortunate, but hey, we'll move on

739
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:29.279
<v Speaker 2>from it at some point, I guess, quick break keep

740
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.240
<v Speaker 2>it locked right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

741
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

742
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine.

743
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Day, apologies for you guys here in you know Microsoft

744
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Windows prompts. That's I thought I had all the different

745
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:49.880
<v Speaker 2>types of things they could notify you about set to

746
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:53.039
<v Speaker 2>where it wouldn't give you a an audio prompt. But

747
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:57.119
<v Speaker 2>apparently the storage space on this disc is low. Whatever

748
00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the hell that means. I mean, I know what it means,

749
00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:01.960
<v Speaker 2>but I mean I don't know who's it's low, Nick,

750
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:06.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, who, how is there too? This makes no sense.

751
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.920
<v Speaker 2>There's twenty six gigabytes free, which is a lot, but

752
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:14.079
<v Speaker 2>of four hundred and seventy six gigabytes. What is on

753
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:18.559
<v Speaker 2>this hard drive? I mean, I guess I don't know

754
00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:20.400
<v Speaker 2>what it could be, but I guess what happens is

755
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:24.679
<v Speaker 2>we log in, but anybody who uses this this computer,

756
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:26.840
<v Speaker 2>even though I'm logged, you know, we log into different

757
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:29.440
<v Speaker 2>different user names, Like I guess we're still sharing a

758
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:31.639
<v Speaker 2>hard drive, right, I mean, then we have to be. Yeah,

759
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:33.800
<v Speaker 2>so I guess that's what happens. So anyway, sorry about that.

760
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:36.800
<v Speaker 2>I hate when that happens, and you know it's my fault,

761
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:40.400
<v Speaker 2>no nobody else, So just don't just throw yet them.

762
00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:42.159
<v Speaker 2>A producer must be doing something. No, he was doing

763
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:43.840
<v Speaker 2>his job. He was bringing us back to some nice

764
00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:47.159
<v Speaker 2>rock and roll, and I got Microsoft ninety eight letting

765
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:49.719
<v Speaker 2>us know about a storage issue. I mean, it's it's

766
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:51.480
<v Speaker 2>on my end, so apologies there.

767
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:52.079
<v Speaker 3>All right.

768
00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Again, we're out here a little earlier than we typically

769
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:57.760
<v Speaker 2>are because of the Bats game coming up here. The Bats,

770
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:00.920
<v Speaker 2>of course, we'll be heard right here on Sports seven nineties,

771
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.800
<v Speaker 2>so real quick. NBA, we won't spend much time on

772
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:04.760
<v Speaker 2>it in the next hour, so I want to go

773
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:06.800
<v Speaker 2>ahead and get to it. But the NBA playoffs, as

774
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:09.800
<v Speaker 2>we've discussed, have been much better than I anticipated, and

775
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:11.639
<v Speaker 2>as much as I was critical, I got to show

776
00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:14.639
<v Speaker 2>love whenever it's necessary. And I've been highly entertained and

777
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:16.199
<v Speaker 2>I know I'm not the only one. And last night

778
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Jokic doing Yokic things against the Thunder, I mean, what

779
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:22.559
<v Speaker 2>a finish. I did not want that game to end.

780
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:26.840
<v Speaker 2>But as Jokic has had eclipsed the forty point mark,

781
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:29.119
<v Speaker 2>just giving buckets and then shooting, did you see that

782
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:31.960
<v Speaker 2>fadeaway three he hit and crunch time? Like who even

783
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:34.400
<v Speaker 2>shoots that? I mean, Jokic is so good. He's one

784
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:36.280
<v Speaker 2>of the best players in my lifetime. I'm convinced of that.

785
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I didn't need last night for me to believe that.

786
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:42.000
<v Speaker 2>But I'm telling you there's something about his appearance that

787
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:46.000
<v Speaker 2>makes it even more like noticeable how good he is,

788
00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:48.800
<v Speaker 2>because you would just never look at someone with that build,

789
00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:51.079
<v Speaker 2>with that stature. I mean, he's a big man, so

790
00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:54.400
<v Speaker 2>trust me, he's large, but like to me, physical appearance,

791
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:59.679
<v Speaker 2>first impression of somebody who looks like Jokic, you would say, oh, yeah,

792
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:02.119
<v Speaker 2>that guy. He might have played in the NBA back

793
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:05.119
<v Speaker 2>in the eighties, but nah, he's some lumbering, slow, big

794
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:08.239
<v Speaker 2>that you know, looks like he pounds a twelve pack

795
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:11.559
<v Speaker 2>of beer after every game and eats nachos at halftime, Like, yeah,

796
00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:15.239
<v Speaker 2>he couldn't hang in this day's NBA, this modern NBA,

797
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:18.599
<v Speaker 2>and all he does is give anybody anything he wants.

798
00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:22.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's so good, and I mean you're never

799
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:24.119
<v Speaker 2>out of it with him. I mean, he's that special.

800
00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:26.599
<v Speaker 2>And then there was a play last night. Another thing

801
00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:29.239
<v Speaker 2>that really was an observation that this is not something

802
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:32.960
<v Speaker 2>I was unaware of, but seeing Murray for the Nuggets

803
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:36.239
<v Speaker 2>and obviously SGA for the Thunder who's the front runner

804
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:38.599
<v Speaker 2>of the MVP Award this year, Like to see them

805
00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:40.119
<v Speaker 2>going back and forth, and there was an and one

806
00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:42.519
<v Speaker 2>bucket that Shay got later or maybe just got fouled,

807
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:45.840
<v Speaker 2>and you know, it took me until he got to

808
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:48.880
<v Speaker 2>the free throw line SGA to realize and remember, oh yeah,

809
00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I got those guys. They were they both went to Kentucky.

810
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they played there together. But like the

811
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:57.440
<v Speaker 2>amount of guys Callus put in the NBA is really insane.

812
00:36:57.480 --> 00:36:59.159
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not telling you anything you don't already know,

813
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:01.920
<v Speaker 2>but now that these guys, a lot of them have

814
00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:04.239
<v Speaker 2>turned into being some of the best players in the

815
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:08.079
<v Speaker 2>league at their position, respectively. I mean, we'll never see

816
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:10.760
<v Speaker 2>anything like that again, mostly due to just because how

817
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:14.440
<v Speaker 2>different things are. But I do wonder is there ever

818
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:19.679
<v Speaker 2>moments for Kentucky fans where they like they realized that, man,

819
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:25.360
<v Speaker 2>not only did we at times fall short, but we

820
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:27.599
<v Speaker 2>should have had a lot more rings than just the one.

821
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and a lot more is probably like three

822
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:32.880
<v Speaker 2>or four. And look what they used to tell themselves

823
00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:36.519
<v Speaker 2>all the time is, well, you know, tournament is random.

824
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:41.199
<v Speaker 2>The tournament is random at times. Final four appearances are random.

825
00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:44.360
<v Speaker 2>There are no random title winners. And the teams that

826
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:47.679
<v Speaker 2>knocked Kentucky out that clearly were in position to win

827
00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:50.599
<v Speaker 2>a championship until they slipped up and got in their

828
00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:54.119
<v Speaker 2>own way, like those teams like they had no business

829
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:55.800
<v Speaker 2>beating some of these Kentucky teams in the tournament, and

830
00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:57.159
<v Speaker 2>they're not even to do about it now, and there's

831
00:37:57.159 --> 00:37:59.079
<v Speaker 2>no reason to dwell. I'm not saying Kentucky fans should

832
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.079
<v Speaker 2>be sad about the cal Era, but I think more

833
00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:04.159
<v Speaker 2>time that passes, especially now that he's gone, I do

834
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:06.199
<v Speaker 2>think there's gonna be some reflection as far as just

835
00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:09.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, like, damn, we had we had a lot

836
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:11.800
<v Speaker 2>of really good players and a lot of good teams

837
00:38:11.800 --> 00:38:15.159
<v Speaker 2>and some good times and some good runs. But you know,

838
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:17.960
<v Speaker 2>it'll never be seen again as far as the NBA

839
00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:20.320
<v Speaker 2>factory that was in Lexington during Cal's time, and you

840
00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:22.440
<v Speaker 2>just you would just expect there to be a little

841
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:25.519
<v Speaker 2>bit more hardware to show for it, but as we know,

842
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:26.760
<v Speaker 2>that didn't, that didn't happen.

843
00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:28.480
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's do this. Let's gohe and get our

844
00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:28.960
<v Speaker 3>break out of the way.

845
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:31.239
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back for one long segment and then we'll

846
00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:32.599
<v Speaker 2>hand it off to Nick Kurran, the voice of the

847
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Louis of Bats, right here on Sports Talk seven ninety
