13
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.880
<v Speaker 2>coming up here in just a moment, but I need

14
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.119
<v Speaker 2>this is something that I'm curious enough to where I'm

15
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 2>bringing up on the show to get some reaction. And

16
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying we got to load up the phone

17
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:05.959
<v Speaker 2>lines for this. But I've learned something about my name

18
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 2>that has changed in recent years that kind of surprises me.

19
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.319
<v Speaker 2>All Right, so this probably won't shock you, Austin, but

20
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.239
<v Speaker 2>my legal name is Nicholas. You probably would expect that, right,

21
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Nicholas is my name, but I go by Nick apparently,

22
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.560
<v Speaker 2>and this is on the Internet. Wouldn't be on the

23
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 2>internet if it wasn't true. I say that jokingly, but

24
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.000
<v Speaker 2>I also do believe this has become a thing, and

25
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not really surprised, but it it just I wasn't

26
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.159
<v Speaker 2>aware until somebody shared it with me. But now, if

27
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 2>you are named Nicholas and you are under the age

28
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.400
<v Speaker 2>of ten years old, there's a good chance that you

29
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>don't go by Nick. You go by Nico. Huh. I mean,

30
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 2>does that sound sound off to you a little bit?

31
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know many Nicholas's or Nick's, even at a

32
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:58.000
<v Speaker 2>young age, Like I don't know where my name is

33
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:02.840
<v Speaker 2>on the popularity ranking for children on the last and

34
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:06.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure they're not a child, right. No, is Nicholas

35
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 2>becoming like an old man name, not an old man name,

36
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.680
<v Speaker 2>because I don't really know many. The oldest Nicholas I

37
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 2>know is Saint Nick. Right. Other than that, I would say,

38
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 2>like you can find like there's like Nick Nolty. I

39
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.039
<v Speaker 2>mean he's an actor, like Nick Nolty might be the

40
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>oldest Nick I can think of often, so Nick Nolty

41
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.840
<v Speaker 2>is eighty four years old. He might be the first

42
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 2>Nick outside of Saint Nick. So my name is Nicholas Anthony,

43
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.759
<v Speaker 2>and I don't remember when I became Nick. To my knowledge,

44
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.759
<v Speaker 2>I've always been Nick. Even whenever I was upset and

45
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.120
<v Speaker 2>my parents would like, you know, really want to get

46
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 2>my attention. More often than not, it was still Nick.

47
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Although there were rare moments where my mom would say

48
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Nicholas Anthony and she would say with her teeth closed.

49
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 2>And that's when I knew I needed to behave because

50
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I was, you know, maybe gonna get myself in trouble.

51
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, there are Nkos that I've heard of that

52
00:02:58.280 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 2>are you know, I don't know any that I can

53
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:01.400
<v Speaker 2>think of off the top of my head as far

54
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 2>as kids that go to school with my children or

55
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Speaker 2>that kind of thing. But Nico is at least a

56
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 2>name that now I hear of that I didn't hear

57
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>of when I was a kid. But apparently a lot

58
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 2>of those kids who go by Nico their legal name

59
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>is Nicholas. And that's just something I'd never even thought

60
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.960
<v Speaker 2>about before. I mean, if I went by Nico, people

61
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 2>would probably look at me like I like I like,

62
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>there's no way that guy's naming. I mean, I guess

63
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.599
<v Speaker 2>you never know anybody's name, but Nico does seem like

64
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 2>a younger thing. But then there's there's Nico Harrison, right,

65
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 2>that's the GM of the Dallas Mavericks who has been

66
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 2>getting all kinds of of of grief. But apparently his

67
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 2>legal name is Nico not Nicholas. Okay, so anyways, Yeah.

68
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 3>I mean even Nicholas and Nick still sound very like modern.

69
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 4>It's not like when you think of like Earl or

70
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 4>something you know, or Bernard or yeah, Bernard, Oh I could.

71
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 3>Do this something named Bernie or something I.

72
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 2>Could do this all day. There are names that just

73
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 2>over time became like dinosaurs, and it's sad, right, yeah,

74
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Like how many Gerald do you now? Like imagine saying, yeah,

75
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna bring the baby over, We're gonna bring over

76
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.719
<v Speaker 2>a little Gary, Like I know Gary. I know Gary's

77
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:15.560
<v Speaker 2>in their thirties, but I don't know if I could

78
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>give you a Gary in his twenties. Like ron One

79
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 2>of my closest friend's name is Ronald. He went by

80
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 2>Ronnie as as a kid, but now we just call

81
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.319
<v Speaker 2>him Big ron Actually know his dad's Big Ron, He's Ron, right,

82
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.680
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I mean there's just and then some names

83
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.360
<v Speaker 2>make a comeback. Like let me give you an example.

84
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 2>There are a lot of John's now that are you know,

85
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:41.480
<v Speaker 2>John's a pretty timeless name, but I now know friends

86
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 2>of mine who've named their child John. But I don't

87
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 2>think I went to school with maybe one John, and

88
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about one of the most common names, like ever.

89
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.120
<v Speaker 2>But in that era when I was growing up, I

90
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't have many friends that I was in school with

91
00:04:55.519 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 2>named John. Names that became really big when I was whenever,

92
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 2>I guess, like kids my age were born my era.

93
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Cody Cody, Yeah, I don't know many Cody's that are

94
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:08.480
<v Speaker 2>above forty. I know Cody, but I know a lot

95
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 2>of Cody's in between, like twenty and thirty seven. Right,

96
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.319
<v Speaker 2>Cody was pretty popular. Matthew's pretty It's one of those

97
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 2>that you really are never surprised by anybody with that name.

98
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Your name, Austin, I feel like became is your first

99
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.000
<v Speaker 2>name Austin Legally, yes, it's Austin Tyler. I like that

100
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 2>Austin Austin Tyler is I mean, those had to be big,

101
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:31.639
<v Speaker 2>booming names at that time.

102
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Of course, I think my mom named me after.

103
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Tyler was a really big name. Also, whenever I was

104
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 2>a kid.

105
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.319
<v Speaker 4>Who was a guy the hot dude on nine O

106
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 4>two one zero? Was it a Austin Green made Austin?

107
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Austin Green. Yes, that's what my mom said. She

108
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:47.839
<v Speaker 3>named me after.

109
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you looked just like him. So it's great.

110
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 3>I've been told that before.

111
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, that's exactly who it is, Brian Austin Green.

112
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Brian Austin Green. Yeah. So, but Austin is a name

113
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 2>that now, like, I know a lot of Austin's.

114
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:01.560
<v Speaker 3>I know some girls named Austin.

115
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.839
<v Speaker 2>Now, I don't know of many girls name also, but

116
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm not surprised that that there are girls named Austin.

117
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:08.519
<v Speaker 4>There's one girl I met. Her name was Austin a

118
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 4>us t y n. I thought that was kind of hot.

119
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.360
<v Speaker 2>That's not bad. Yeah, I mean it's creative. If you

120
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:17.439
<v Speaker 2>all ever have children, which I'm sure you will one day,

121
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.399
<v Speaker 2>do you think finding a name will be an easy

122
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:20.480
<v Speaker 2>thing for you guys?

123
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:23.399
<v Speaker 4>I think she has a couple of them laid out.

124
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.160
<v Speaker 4>They're like a little bit more like uh in my gosh,

125
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:27.759
<v Speaker 4>you can't ask me on off the top of my

126
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.839
<v Speaker 4>head because I don't know they are more like more

127
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 4>modern names or not, like you know, like some of

128
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:35.480
<v Speaker 4>the ones.

129
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:36.839
<v Speaker 3>That that that we mentioned.

130
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.120
<v Speaker 4>I think, what's another one that, like Tommy Thomas says,

131
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:41.879
<v Speaker 4>you don't know like a lot of Thomas.

132
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.720
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, it's true. I'm trying to know one Tommy.

133
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:49.319
<v Speaker 2>So my my daughter's name is Maya Noel. My son's

134
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 2>name is Mason Cruz. I feel like Cruse has become

135
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 2>not like a super popular name, but I didn't know

136
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.519
<v Speaker 2>anybody named Cruse growing up. Now, I bet if I

137
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.920
<v Speaker 2>went to my kids school, there'd be a few cruises there.

138
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:07.319
<v Speaker 4>One of our one of our couple friends just had

139
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:08.639
<v Speaker 4>a kid and they named him Crew.

140
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.199
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I've heard of that. Yeah, that's not a bad well,

141
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:11.920
<v Speaker 2>that's not bad at all.

142
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:13.959
<v Speaker 3>Sounds like a lacrosse player in the making.

143
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.639
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. So. The only reason I bring it up is because,

144
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 2>like when I get older and i'm you know, my

145
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.279
<v Speaker 2>legal name is Nicholas, like at the DMV when I'm

146
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.199
<v Speaker 2>getting my license renewed in my sixties, because a lot

147
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.040
<v Speaker 2>of times people will just look at my legal name

148
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 2>and they'll just just because there aren't many people that

149
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.480
<v Speaker 2>go by Nicholas, they just go by It's very like, yeah,

150
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:33.959
<v Speaker 2>there are I feel like, let me ask you this,

151
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>do you think there's more people named Matthew that go

152
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:40.040
<v Speaker 2>by Matt or vice versa, like more people that go

153
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.480
<v Speaker 2>because I think you it's I think it's more common

154
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:44.839
<v Speaker 2>to hear somebody who goes by their legal name Matthew

155
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.279
<v Speaker 2>than there is people who go by Nicholas yea and

156
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:48.160
<v Speaker 2>not being nicked.

157
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 3>They go by the shorter version.

158
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.000
<v Speaker 4>Now because my my fiance's brother's name is Matthew, but

159
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:53.600
<v Speaker 4>we call him Matt.

160
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:55.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's very I have close friends named

161
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.360
<v Speaker 2>matt and calling them Matthew just would be weird. Also,

162
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>did you know that technically my name, like how I

163
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.680
<v Speaker 2>spell it, is fraudulent. Really, this kind of this speaks

164
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:07.560
<v Speaker 2>to I guess my, you know you're a fake nick,

165
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:09.800
<v Speaker 2>my being, a my being, you know who I am.

166
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.720
<v Speaker 2>But I felt like a real fraud when somebody pointed

167
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:14.160
<v Speaker 2>this out to me. Might have been somebody on the

168
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>show on the text line who brought it up one time,

169
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>but I was like, you know what, They're right. I've

170
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.680
<v Speaker 2>been an imposter my whole life. Every time I write

171
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:21.720
<v Speaker 2>my name, I write in I C K. There's not

172
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.800
<v Speaker 2>a K in my name. It's a I C H

173
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:27.000
<v Speaker 2>O L A S. So we just we the Nicks

174
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.920
<v Speaker 2>just invented a letter that doesn't need to be there.

175
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.759
<v Speaker 2>That's like, that's I used to think. If you're going

176
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>by Nick and I see, you're a real tryhard. Actually

177
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:39.320
<v Speaker 2>you're legit. I'm not because the K doesn't exist. I'm

178
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.279
<v Speaker 2>just I'm just writing down. I mean, it's like almost

179
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:42.879
<v Speaker 2>like a fake identification, right.

180
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.519
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't even mind if you went by Nick. But

181
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:49.759
<v Speaker 4>but even then I see and I see yeah. But

182
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:51.360
<v Speaker 4>like you know, I said, is there an H in it?

183
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:53.360
<v Speaker 4>And I C H yeah, and I C H O

184
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.039
<v Speaker 4>L A S. I kind of just like the N

185
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.840
<v Speaker 4>I C H that's but that to me, that to.

186
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Me is a tryhard you think, so yeah, like like

187
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.919
<v Speaker 2>Mark with a C, like, what are you doing? It's K?

188
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Like you can't you know? In my so my wife,

189
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:12.440
<v Speaker 2>my wife's my wife's name is Tiffany and ak Mercedes,

190
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:16.519
<v Speaker 2>but she not her Her mother decided to spell it

191
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:21.559
<v Speaker 2>t I F F A N I, which is not

192
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.039
<v Speaker 2>is not insanely rare, but I'd say more than ninety

193
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.000
<v Speaker 2>percent of the folks named Tiffany go BYuT T I

194
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.919
<v Speaker 2>F F A N Y, but her mom spelled it,

195
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.720
<v Speaker 2>and I'm glad she did because you know, it's it

196
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:34.720
<v Speaker 2>puts a little bit of a different it makes it

197
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:38.840
<v Speaker 2>a little bit unique. Yeah, but you know she oftentimes,

198
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:41.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, when she has to just like me, if

199
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.080
<v Speaker 2>I tell people my name is Coffee, I have to

200
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.120
<v Speaker 2>say e y or they're gonna put ee. She now

201
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.480
<v Speaker 2>has to tell people it's a N I and it's

202
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.000
<v Speaker 2>f F E Y not not. Yeah, so she's want

203
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.960
<v Speaker 2>more explanation, yeap, no doubt. But again, like who am

204
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 2>I to judge I'm a fraud. There's a K in

205
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:02.480
<v Speaker 2>my name that I've living with that doesn't actually belong.

206
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:03.679
<v Speaker 2>Total fraud.

207
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.960
<v Speaker 4>Now we got the great uh Radio Rick. There's not

208
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 4>a lot of ricks left.

209
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:08.279
<v Speaker 3>I feel like.

210
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.759
<v Speaker 2>It's true man. You think Rick is short for Richard?

211
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:12.120
<v Speaker 3>That's true?

212
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:17.159
<v Speaker 2>Radio Rick. Man, what a guy I'm trying to think of. Like,

213
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.879
<v Speaker 2>when's the last time you saw a somebody under the

214
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:25.519
<v Speaker 2>age of twenty named Donald? But I don't even know

215
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:26.399
<v Speaker 2>any young Donnie's.

216
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:27.799
<v Speaker 3>I got a cousin named Donald.

217
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:28.679
<v Speaker 2>Is he young?

218
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:29.519
<v Speaker 1>No?

219
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:32.039
<v Speaker 3>He's probably like seven eight years older than I am.

220
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's probably like borderline, right. Uh, Reginald, you know, an,

221
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess Reginalds are Reggie Reggie's dude.

222
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:42.759
<v Speaker 3>I haven't. I don't think I've ever met a Reggie

223
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:43.320
<v Speaker 3>maybe once.

224
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:45.639
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember? Was it ever a thing in school

225
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.200
<v Speaker 2>when they would do they would do like roll call

226
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:51.519
<v Speaker 2>and call attendance, and like there were kids that's who's

227
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Like I knew they were going to say Nicholas and

228
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:55.600
<v Speaker 2>it didn't really like I wasn't worried that people were

229
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.600
<v Speaker 2>going to find out like that you're name. But you

230
00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.879
<v Speaker 2>know when your kid, you know you're insecure, you're just

231
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 2>being social. Like there was that anxiety for certain kids

232
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.399
<v Speaker 2>who went by a name and the only way you'd

233
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.559
<v Speaker 2>know that their name wasn't what they go by is

234
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.039
<v Speaker 2>like first day of school when the teacher's getting acclimated

235
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.279
<v Speaker 2>or there's a sub who's calling role and they're only

236
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.720
<v Speaker 2>looking at what's on the paper, not what you go by.

237
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.200
<v Speaker 2>And like there would be kids who would like try

238
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.000
<v Speaker 2>to not be in class when they would call role

239
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.960
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, bro, it's your name? Like even as

240
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.799
<v Speaker 2>seven to eight year olds, we know your mom and

241
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:26.360
<v Speaker 2>dad did it not you? Bro? Like it's not that

242
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.240
<v Speaker 2>big of a do. I have a buddy, close friend

243
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:33.519
<v Speaker 2>of mine who his legal name is Leslie, which is

244
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.840
<v Speaker 2>not as rare as you would think, especially like it's

245
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.600
<v Speaker 2>a family name, Like I think his father's name is Leslie.

246
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.639
<v Speaker 2>His grandfather's name is Leslie.

247
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Awesome.

248
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:44.679
<v Speaker 2>Maybe is great, but you know, when you're a kid

249
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:47.519
<v Speaker 2>in the nineties, I think most kids, maybe even adults,

250
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.240
<v Speaker 2>would just assume Leslie would be a woman, right, I

251
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.399
<v Speaker 2>mean I would, but like I remember thinking, like, man,

252
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.360
<v Speaker 2>like he's really going through it, that he's worried people

253
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.000
<v Speaker 2>are going to find out that's his name, Like it's

254
00:11:58.039 --> 00:11:59.559
<v Speaker 2>not no big it's you know, it's not again, you

255
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 2>don't get to pick your name. I guess you could

256
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:03.840
<v Speaker 2>change it when you get older. And he didn't go

257
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.399
<v Speaker 2>by Leslie. He went by a different he went by

258
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.200
<v Speaker 2>his middle name. But anyways, I just I'm now thinking

259
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:10.840
<v Speaker 2>that maybe when I get older and I go to

260
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.600
<v Speaker 2>the DMV and I just hand them my documents and

261
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:15.480
<v Speaker 2>they're just assuming that I don't go by Nikolas. Are

262
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:19.440
<v Speaker 2>they gonna say, oh, hey, Nico, because Nico's now overtaken nick.

263
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.639
<v Speaker 3>And I don't like that, and you don't look like

264
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:22.039
<v Speaker 3>an Eco.

265
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:23.879
<v Speaker 2>Thank you? Do it look like a nick?

266
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.519
<v Speaker 3>Of course you've embraced the nick.

267
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you're a New York kid. Isn't there

268
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.000
<v Speaker 2>a real not not this week?

269
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:32.200
<v Speaker 3>No? No, yeah, that's sure.

270
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm a pacer, But aren't there like there's some truth

271
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.919
<v Speaker 2>to it? Always go back to Tommy Boy with Chris Farley,

272
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:42.039
<v Speaker 2>whenever they're getting they just got into that roadside fight

273
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.240
<v Speaker 2>and they're at that diner and the waitress comes over

274
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.960
<v Speaker 2>and you know he but right before he melts down,

275
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:49.960
<v Speaker 2>he said, what's your name? Helen? Helen? You look like

276
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:51.919
<v Speaker 2>a Helen. I'm like, you know what, she does, look

277
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.320
<v Speaker 2>like a Helen. Like there's certain people that when they

278
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:55.919
<v Speaker 2>tell me their name and I don't know it. I

279
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.919
<v Speaker 2>just want to respond, you're damn right, you're Domald. You're

280
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.759
<v Speaker 2>damn right, that's your name. Look at you. You can

281
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.320
<v Speaker 2>look like your name. So anyways, let's, I guess, go

282
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:06.879
<v Speaker 2>back to what we're supposed to be doing here talking

283
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.080
<v Speaker 2>in sports. This is a sports show, and this is

284
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.399
<v Speaker 2>big news here locally, and it did kind of come

285
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:14.080
<v Speaker 2>out of nowhere. I wish we had a little more info,

286
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:17.480
<v Speaker 2>but it's okay. It happens. This way from time to time.

287
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Louisville has added a new player for the upcoming basketball season.

288
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.960
<v Speaker 2>They've landed Mohammed Kamara, who is from Senegal. He comes

289
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.559
<v Speaker 2>from the NBA Africa Academy. He's a six to eight,

290
00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:30.679
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and fifteen pound I guess forward, I mean

291
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:34.399
<v Speaker 2>he's he's kind of a hybridou I would I would say,

292
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:37.399
<v Speaker 2>given the fact that his statistics kind of show you

293
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.320
<v Speaker 2>that he's averaged just under eleven points, seven boards, three

294
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.080
<v Speaker 2>and a half assists, two point eight steals, and two

295
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.519
<v Speaker 2>and a half blocks per game. Those were his numbers

296
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.200
<v Speaker 2>this past year at NBA Africa, shot at about thirty

297
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:51.399
<v Speaker 2>eight percent from three over sixty percent from the field overall.

298
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:53.840
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know a lot about him, had never

299
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:55.480
<v Speaker 2>heard of him until I saw that he had committed

300
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.000
<v Speaker 2>to Louisville today. But clearly they need to add some

301
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.600
<v Speaker 2>players in the front court, given that the l ability

302
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.559
<v Speaker 2>of Ali Khalifa still up in the air, and obviously

303
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:06.320
<v Speaker 2>James Scott decided to leave and they weren't able to

304
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:09.200
<v Speaker 2>through the portal at anybody to replace him, at least

305
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.279
<v Speaker 2>not yet. There are still players available in the portal

306
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.879
<v Speaker 2>and I have no clue really what to expect whenever

307
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:18.279
<v Speaker 2>the deadline is for the NBA Draft, which I'm gonna

308
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.080
<v Speaker 2>have to look that up because there are still a

309
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:25.080
<v Speaker 2>lot of players available in the portal. What I don't

310
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:29.519
<v Speaker 2>know is is Louisville already in a position of where

311
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:32.799
<v Speaker 2>they're recruiting these guys just waiting to figure out what

312
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:38.080
<v Speaker 2>their decision is or is it more so a you

313
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:40.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of restart the recruitment once these guys say they're

314
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 2>coming back to school. And I think Louisville they have money.

315
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:45.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they clearly have money to offer. I mean,

316
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you probably had to spend a ton

317
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:53.159
<v Speaker 2>on this latest addition to your roster. And I don't

318
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.559
<v Speaker 2>think I mean James Scott had an NIL deal in place.

319
00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:57.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it was. I'm not sure if

320
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:00.320
<v Speaker 2>that was a big factor in his decision to UH

321
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:07.679
<v Speaker 2>to transfer or what. But either way, I mean, I

322
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:09.919
<v Speaker 2>still think even with this addition, and let's just say

323
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.399
<v Speaker 2>Khalifa gets good news about eligibility, you know, you still

324
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:17.799
<v Speaker 2>have some spots available, and I I you don't really

325
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 2>know exactly what you'd be missing out if you don't

326
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:23.399
<v Speaker 2>get Khalif eligible, because again, he didn't play, But as

327
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:26.200
<v Speaker 2>we talked about earlier, he's such a rare big man

328
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:29.679
<v Speaker 2>who there's really no debate about what his strongest asset is.

329
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:32.039
<v Speaker 2>He's a phenomenal passer in a way that you just

330
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.000
<v Speaker 2>don't see from bigs. There are plenty of guys that

331
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:38.120
<v Speaker 2>can can pass well as a post player. Rather it

332
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.440
<v Speaker 2>be just being able to read a double team coming

333
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.879
<v Speaker 2>and knowing the spacing on the floor, or you know,

334
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:46.440
<v Speaker 2>just knowing the commit the attention they're commanding on a

335
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.480
<v Speaker 2>pick and pop and finding somebody. I mean, it's not

336
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.120
<v Speaker 2>as if there's never been a big that could be

337
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.399
<v Speaker 2>a really good passer, but he is. He's a lead

338
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:55.600
<v Speaker 2>at that, and you know, not having him would change

339
00:15:55.679 --> 00:16:02.559
<v Speaker 2>some things. And if James, if there's not really a

340
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:05.840
<v Speaker 2>replacement from James Scott in the portal, I think the

341
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:12.080
<v Speaker 2>production that you lost, as far as James Scott's rebounds

342
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:15.879
<v Speaker 2>and points and whatnot, you can replace that. In fact, hell,

343
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.799
<v Speaker 2>just one of these guys could replace that by themselves.

344
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:20.279
<v Speaker 2>And I don't mean to say that this is not

345
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:22.879
<v Speaker 2>me talking like James Scott's a bump, because I think

346
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:24.679
<v Speaker 2>I was pretty clear that when he decided to leave

347
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:26.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the numbers will show you just how

348
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.200
<v Speaker 2>valuable he can be for you, because of the role

349
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.559
<v Speaker 2>that he was seemingly willing to embrace until he decided

350
00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:36.360
<v Speaker 2>to leave. However, the seven points and six rebounds or

351
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:40.000
<v Speaker 2>whatever it is he averaged a year ago, I think

352
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.120
<v Speaker 2>it's safe to say Sonny Frew in case in prior

353
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:47.120
<v Speaker 2>by themselves can more than make up for that. But

354
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:51.960
<v Speaker 2>if anything, this latest edition that they added today gives

355
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.799
<v Speaker 2>you a little bit of an insurance policy if in

356
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:56.240
<v Speaker 2>fact things don't work out with Khalifa, because if they didn't,

357
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.440
<v Speaker 2>then you would just have I mean, your front core

358
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:03.879
<v Speaker 2>would be Case and pryor Javon Hadley and Sonny Frew

359
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.880
<v Speaker 2>and I like all those guys, but like it's not

360
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:08.039
<v Speaker 2>sustainable for that just to be the only guys you

361
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:10.920
<v Speaker 2>have in the front court. So all right, let's get

362
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:12.319
<v Speaker 2>to a quick break. We'll come back on the other side.

363
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:15.960
<v Speaker 2>A lot more to get into, including Scotty Scheffler's PGA championship.

364
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.880
<v Speaker 2>What that means to you know, hopefully in a perfect

365
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:21.319
<v Speaker 2>world this would just kind of put it to bed.

366
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.799
<v Speaker 2>But I kind of feel like now that he years

367
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:26.880
<v Speaker 2>passed and you really reflect on how wild that situation was,

368
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:29.519
<v Speaker 2>him getting arrested here in Louisville on his way to

369
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:32.519
<v Speaker 2>the PGA Championship with Valhalla. That's probably not something that's

370
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:34.160
<v Speaker 2>ever just going to not be a part of the

371
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Scotty Scheffler story. Therefore, I feel like the better he

372
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 2>is at golf, the less likely it is that this

373
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:43.119
<v Speaker 2>thing just kind of fades away. Also, we'll let you

374
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:45.640
<v Speaker 2>hear what Drew Brees had to say about Jeff Brahm

375
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:47.720
<v Speaker 2>and Tyler Shuck. Shuck's gonna be the man in New

376
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:49.839
<v Speaker 2>Orleans regardless of what they're telling us. And as I

377
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.440
<v Speaker 2>mentioned earlier, we've got this list of programs with the

378
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.640
<v Speaker 2>most college basketball wins since twenty twenty. I think some

379
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.799
<v Speaker 2>of these schools that will appear here will surprise you,

380
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:05.480
<v Speaker 2>But I'd say there's one component that that makes it

381
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:07.279
<v Speaker 2>make sense. So stick with us. We'll finish strong here

382
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:09.319
<v Speaker 2>in the five o'clock hour. It's coffee and company. Feel

383
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:12.000
<v Speaker 2>about Thorton right here on Sports Talk seven ninety Now.

384
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Back to Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on Sports

385
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Talk seven nine day.

386
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:22.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't think that I even made the

387
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:28.240
<v Speaker 2>connection when Jeff Brom. Well, when when Tyler Shuck was

388
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:30.519
<v Speaker 2>drafted by the Saints that they are there's and again,

389
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:32.400
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's not a connection. Maybe that's whay, maybe it's

390
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:35.160
<v Speaker 2>why it didn't pop into into my mind. But if

391
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:38.640
<v Speaker 2>in fact, the New Orleans Saints we're going to lean

392
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.039
<v Speaker 2>on Drew Brees for some type of guidance and maybe

393
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:43.400
<v Speaker 2>just you know, ask for his input on what he

394
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:46.079
<v Speaker 2>thinks about this quarterback crop in the twenty twenty five draft.

395
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:48.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, wouldn't shock me. He Drew Brees, He's he

396
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.160
<v Speaker 2>brought him a Super Bowl. So he has a lot

397
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.640
<v Speaker 2>of respect for Jeff Brom, not just because they're both

398
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:58.079
<v Speaker 2>two great quarterbacks and quarterback minds, but obviously Jeff Brom

399
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:00.880
<v Speaker 2>was the head coach at Purdue and he may Purdue

400
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.960
<v Speaker 2>football relevant to an extent for the first time since

401
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:07.359
<v Speaker 2>Drew Brees played there. So there's some connections here. But

402
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:10.599
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Shuck, he's gonna have his opportunity to compete for

403
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:13.160
<v Speaker 2>the starting job in New Orleans with Derek Carr retiring

404
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:17.480
<v Speaker 2>after an injury. But I would I'd be really shocked

405
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:20.440
<v Speaker 2>if if he's not the guy. I mean, I don't

406
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:23.559
<v Speaker 2>think you draft somebody in the second round. I mean,

407
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel like if you don't if you don't start him, which,

408
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.359
<v Speaker 2>by the way, I think he has I think he

409
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:33.559
<v Speaker 2>has real ability that little show that where he looks

410
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:38.160
<v Speaker 2>like he'll be the best option over Hainer and Spencer Rattler.

411
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Look maybe Spencer Ratler, because I don't know. Spence Rayler

412
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.319
<v Speaker 2>clearly has some tools and some talent that has gotten

413
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.480
<v Speaker 2>into this point. But they also saw what they would

414
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.240
<v Speaker 2>be without or they also saw what they would be

415
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:50.319
<v Speaker 2>with him at quarterback because he got to start some

416
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:52.480
<v Speaker 2>games last year for the injured Derek Carr, and you

417
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:54.680
<v Speaker 2>know they weren't very good. And I just think when

418
00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:57.440
<v Speaker 2>you're when you're taking over a new franchise as a

419
00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:59.880
<v Speaker 2>new head coach, what can I think of his name?

420
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.319
<v Speaker 2>Guy who came from the Cowboys? Oh, Kellen Moore, Yeah,

421
00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Kellen Moore. I mean you want to run with the

422
00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:08.640
<v Speaker 2>guy that you played a part in them deciding, right,

423
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:11.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you're out there losing with a quarterback

424
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.240
<v Speaker 2>that you had no say so in being on the roster,

425
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:16.519
<v Speaker 2>and he knows maybe he loves Rattler and Hayin, but

426
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:18.920
<v Speaker 2>either way, like you want to you want to get

427
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.160
<v Speaker 2>results based off of something that you had, You had

428
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:23.519
<v Speaker 2>a place, and you know, you put in place. So

429
00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:27.880
<v Speaker 2>they'll continue to talk about it being a competition, but

430
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:30.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I feel like if they don't start him,

431
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.920
<v Speaker 2>it'll it'll be a bad look for Shuck, which maybe

432
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:35.359
<v Speaker 2>isn't fair for me to say, but I mean, I

433
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:37.279
<v Speaker 2>feel like he can beat out these guys. But also

434
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:40.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean it'll maybe speak to the Saints not loving

435
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:46.480
<v Speaker 2>their Brookie quarterback, because I mean, even if Carr didn't

436
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:48.960
<v Speaker 2>retire and he was healthy, everybody would just assume that

437
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.279
<v Speaker 2>you drafted this guy in the second round. He's he's

438
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:52.799
<v Speaker 2>the air parent like he's going to be the next

439
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:55.079
<v Speaker 2>guy out. But here's Drew Brees over the weekend talking

440
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:59.279
<v Speaker 2>about Tyler Shuck and also a little bit about Jeff Broum.

441
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.799
<v Speaker 5>I love Jeff brob Jeff Brohm and Louisville was produced

442
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:05.000
<v Speaker 5>head coach for a long time, Develt as O'Connell and

443
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:07.319
<v Speaker 5>a few others, so he's kind of known as one

444
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:09.960
<v Speaker 5>of those guys who can give out fewbs. And obviously

445
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:12.240
<v Speaker 5>Tyler shuffily drive in that office with him.

446
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Last year, so there's more to it. But the sound

447
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:16.519
<v Speaker 2>is pretty crappy, but you know, he does allude to

448
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:18.720
<v Speaker 2>the fact that they're still going to compete and they're

449
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:20.400
<v Speaker 2>not just going to give the job to anybody. But

450
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:23.599
<v Speaker 2>things are lining up pretty nicely for Shuck and I

451
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:25.759
<v Speaker 2>can't wait to see what happens. And I really do

452
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:31.039
<v Speaker 2>believe that the age is something that has been used

453
00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:34.559
<v Speaker 2>at times by people as a reason why he shouldn't

454
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:36.799
<v Speaker 2>have been drafted and why you shouldn't be excited if

455
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:39.359
<v Speaker 2>you're a Saints fan. I think given the circumstance to

456
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:41.559
<v Speaker 2>where he's going to be thrown thrown in right away,

457
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:45.240
<v Speaker 2>it's a good thing that he's mature and he's not

458
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:47.559
<v Speaker 2>going to be And this is something more so that

459
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:49.440
<v Speaker 2>comes from just those who know Tyler a little bit,

460
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:51.640
<v Speaker 2>those that were around him last year at Louisville, And

461
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:53.240
<v Speaker 2>we talked about this a little bit when Brian brom

462
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:55.599
<v Speaker 2>came on the show. The moment's not going to be

463
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:58.000
<v Speaker 2>too big for him. He is not going to be

464
00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:02.359
<v Speaker 2>overwhelmed or wide eyed by the NFL. I mean, clearly

465
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.240
<v Speaker 2>he'll be a big step up for him. I mean

466
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:06.480
<v Speaker 2>it's the National Football League, and who knows how good

467
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:08.440
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna actually be. But I don't think he's somebody

468
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.640
<v Speaker 2>that will succumb to just you know, the duties that

469
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:13.799
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback has in the National Football League. It's a

470
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:17.599
<v Speaker 2>very important job. And you know, you you can't be

471
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:21.039
<v Speaker 2>bad for very long and expect to keep your job.

472
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:23.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, It's coffee and company. Feel about Thornton's here

473
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:27.400
<v Speaker 2>on Sports Talk seven to ninety. So the Pacers in

474
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:29.680
<v Speaker 2>the next Eastern Conference Finals that will get started on

475
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.759
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday with the Pacers hosting Game one. And there's something

476
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:38.359
<v Speaker 2>that has has become a big, big thing on the internet,

477
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:42.880
<v Speaker 2>and that is Tyrese Halliburton flying out a Pacers fan

478
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:45.799
<v Speaker 2>who apparently lives in New York and was harassed by

479
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:49.759
<v Speaker 2>New Yorkers after the game for victory that the Knicks

480
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:53.440
<v Speaker 2>had over the Celtics. So I'm a little bit torn

481
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:56.960
<v Speaker 2>on this, but this, this is this is what played out.

482
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:02.000
<v Speaker 2>There was a pay I guess just I mean, can

483
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:05.160
<v Speaker 2>I say it, Austin, if you're in New York City

484
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:08.519
<v Speaker 2>and you know what Knicks fans do in the streets

485
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:12.119
<v Speaker 2>of New York City after big wins and you show

486
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:17.240
<v Speaker 2>up just trying to mingle among the masses wearing a

487
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:22.039
<v Speaker 2>Pacers Halliburton Jersey. I don't feel like I'm out of

488
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:24.480
<v Speaker 2>line to say you're looking for trouble. Yeah, you're not

489
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:27.039
<v Speaker 2>asking for it, maybe, but maybe you are, but you're

490
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:30.359
<v Speaker 2>wanting attention. Yes, you know what you're doing. Now, does

491
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:33.319
<v Speaker 2>that mean you that people have a right to assault

492
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.599
<v Speaker 2>you or you know, yell mean things at you. No,

493
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.079
<v Speaker 2>because you really shouldn't do that ever. But as human

494
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:43.519
<v Speaker 2>beings in society, I think a lot of us have

495
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:47.119
<v Speaker 2>a level of expectation as far as things we do

496
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:51.119
<v Speaker 2>and what might come with those decisions. Doesn't mean that,

497
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:55.920
<v Speaker 2>you know. For example, if I was to wear a

498
00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:02.319
<v Speaker 2>T shirt that was extremely hateful towards one individual, a

499
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:05.559
<v Speaker 2>group of people, whatever, it may be, just a disgusting

500
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:08.480
<v Speaker 2>T shirt that, like I knew, would get a reaction.

501
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:12.799
<v Speaker 2>If I wear said T shirt around a group of

502
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:15.519
<v Speaker 2>people and that person, in front of a cop came

503
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:17.799
<v Speaker 2>up and beat the hell out of me, that person

504
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:19.640
<v Speaker 2>would go to or go to jail and get arrested.

505
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:24.000
<v Speaker 2>But like I would be guilty, not by the criminal

506
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:26.880
<v Speaker 2>justice system. I'd be guilty of being a real dumbass.

507
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:29.200
<v Speaker 2>That's what I would be guilty of. And if you

508
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:33.519
<v Speaker 2>share that story to your friends or other people, They

509
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:35.839
<v Speaker 2>probably wouldn't have much sympathy for you for a couple

510
00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:38.279
<v Speaker 2>of reasons. One, they would say, how stupid can you be?

511
00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:41.480
<v Speaker 2>You can't be shocked that somebody did that to you.

512
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:43.400
<v Speaker 2>But also they might look at whatever you were wearing

513
00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:45.480
<v Speaker 2>and say, you know, you're a real piece of work.

514
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:51.440
<v Speaker 2>So again, both things could be true here. This guy

515
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:53.720
<v Speaker 2>knew what he was doing by walking out into the

516
00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:56.319
<v Speaker 2>streets right after a New York Knicks victory wearing that.

517
00:24:57.079 --> 00:24:59.720
<v Speaker 2>But those that didn't have the ability to restrain from

518
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.519
<v Speaker 2>owing things at him and you know, putting hands on him,

519
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:04.680
<v Speaker 2>if they even did that, they're not in the right.

520
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:07.680
<v Speaker 2>But you know, again, that's one of the things you

521
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:10.960
<v Speaker 2>hear me say often a lot of things can be true,

522
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:14.559
<v Speaker 2>not just one specific thing. So this has now turned

523
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:18.000
<v Speaker 2>into Halliburton using it as a hey, I'm gonna hook

524
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.160
<v Speaker 2>this guy up. But I do like the way Halliburton is,

525
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:23.400
<v Speaker 2>at least from what I've gathered. I haven't you know,

526
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:25.519
<v Speaker 2>I followed the story as best I can. I know

527
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:28.799
<v Speaker 2>he was on Pat McAfee earlier today talking about it,

528
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:30.960
<v Speaker 2>and I don't want to play that because I don't,

529
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:34.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, part of Pat McAfee's show is on television

530
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:36.759
<v Speaker 2>live and part of it, part of it's not the

531
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:39.519
<v Speaker 2>part that's not you know, they can say whatever. But

532
00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:43.319
<v Speaker 2>apparently this guy who did this is is a firefighter

533
00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:46.359
<v Speaker 2>in New York City, but he's a lifelong Pacers fan.

534
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:48.759
<v Speaker 2>So Halliburton is is going to hook him up.

535
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:51.720
<v Speaker 6>Pat told me found you yesterday, called me. I said,

536
00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:54.200
<v Speaker 6>I gotta get on the show and talk to him myself.

537
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:58.119
<v Speaker 6>I want to personally bring you in a plus one

538
00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:01.759
<v Speaker 6>out here to come to Game four. Uh here in Indiana.

539
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:04.000
<v Speaker 6>I'll bring you guys out here, put you guys up,

540
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:06.960
<v Speaker 6>get you guys see to the game. The Pacers. Everybody

541
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:08.920
<v Speaker 6>in our organization wants to make sure you take care

542
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:13.160
<v Speaker 6>of all the teams excited to meet you. It's all

543
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:15.559
<v Speaker 6>we've been talking about. Everybody's seen the video. So man,

544
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.000
<v Speaker 6>we want to bring you out here and uh yeah, man,

545
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:18.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm really excited about that.

546
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:21.119
<v Speaker 2>So you and Hans, I believe that's on Tuesday.

547
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:22.359
<v Speaker 3>I believe that's on Tuesday.

548
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:24.960
<v Speaker 2>You're able to make the trip. I know scheduling obviously

549
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:26.160
<v Speaker 2>as a firefighter or something.

550
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:28.440
<v Speaker 3>You no, I gotta I gotta talk to the guys.

551
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:33.839
<v Speaker 3>I mean I'm pretty sure we could work something. Hey

552
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:35.680
<v Speaker 3>make sure that's first class. That's awesome.

553
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:40.240
<v Speaker 2>So again this is I doubt that this firefighter did

554
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:44.079
<v Speaker 2>that thinking he would end up being able to benefit

555
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:46.519
<v Speaker 2>from the situation to where he gets to fly out

556
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:48.039
<v Speaker 2>to go to Game four. I thought it was Game one,

557
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:49.559
<v Speaker 2>but he's gonna go to Game four, which will be

558
00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:53.240
<v Speaker 2>uh an indye? Am I wrong? Is the Do the

559
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:56.119
<v Speaker 2>Pacers not have home court advantage? I thought they did?

560
00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:58.559
<v Speaker 3>They they're the four seed?

561
00:26:58.680 --> 00:26:58.839
<v Speaker 6>Right?

562
00:26:59.000 --> 00:26:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Were the Knicks that there?

563
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:00.359
<v Speaker 6>See?

564
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Am I wrong here?

565
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:03.559
<v Speaker 3>It might be privy to the scene.

566
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.759
<v Speaker 2>So game one is let's see, why is it not

567
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:09.440
<v Speaker 2>tell you? Yeah? But oh sorry? Game ones in New York.

568
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:12.960
<v Speaker 2>So I guess the Pacers win Game one, it'll be Wednesday, okay,

569
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:14.880
<v Speaker 2>so yeah, they'll have two games in New York too

570
00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:16.519
<v Speaker 2>at Indy and then they'll go back and forth if

571
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:18.160
<v Speaker 2>need be for the rest of the series. I was wrong.

572
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:20.480
<v Speaker 2>The Pacers don't have home court advantage. The Knicks do.

573
00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:22.400
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, he's gonna be coming out for Game four.

574
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I doubt he had in mind that he could potentially

575
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:28.400
<v Speaker 2>turn that situation into getting a chance to fly back

576
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:31.279
<v Speaker 2>to Indiana. I don't know if he's from there, but again,

577
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:33.319
<v Speaker 2>he's a Pacers fan living in New York City, so

578
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.160
<v Speaker 2>it worked out well for him. But I also can't

579
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:39.799
<v Speaker 2>help but like still say, yeah, that what you did.

580
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:42.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, again, there's nothing illegal about it, but like

581
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:44.480
<v Speaker 2>hard for me to believe you just happen to be

582
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.359
<v Speaker 2>walking around New York City wearing your Pacers jersey at

583
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:50.279
<v Speaker 2>the time that the Pacers or the Knicks fans just

584
00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:53.119
<v Speaker 2>decided to you know, celebrate, like you know, you were

585
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:55.799
<v Speaker 2>asking for it, and uh, in a way it benefited you.

586
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:59.079
<v Speaker 4>So I think that that's a it's not a bad investment.

587
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:01.079
<v Speaker 4>You know, go through that, maybe get a trash bag

588
00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:03.599
<v Speaker 4>thrown on you, but you know, an NBA All star

589
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:06.279
<v Speaker 4>face of a franchise reaches out to you and say, hey,

590
00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:07.119
<v Speaker 4>come to the game.

591
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:10.200
<v Speaker 3>That's a very price price well paid.

592
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I guess, oh no, no, he'll probably try to do

593
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:16.319
<v Speaker 2>it again. If hell, other people may try to turn

594
00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:18.799
<v Speaker 2>the situation into to what he just turned this one into,

595
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:22.160
<v Speaker 2>because I mean, he's getting flooded to Indy and I

596
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:24.279
<v Speaker 2>would imagine if Halliburton, so, can you up a ticket?

597
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:26.519
<v Speaker 2>You're not You're not sitting in a bad seat. I

598
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:28.200
<v Speaker 2>don't know if your court side or what, but I'm

599
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:31.160
<v Speaker 2>sure you are giving him his dad's seats. It's right,

600
00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:34.079
<v Speaker 2>that's right. His dad now has vacant seats because his

601
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:38.039
<v Speaker 2>dad got basically banned from the any Pacers game moving forward.

602
00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:40.240
<v Speaker 2>And this is also actually a good pr not that

603
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:42.319
<v Speaker 2>there was really a whole lot of pr repair needed

604
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:44.240
<v Speaker 2>for Halliburton, because I thought he handed it really well

605
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.119
<v Speaker 2>following his father's situation with Jannis, and I give him

606
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:51.200
<v Speaker 2>more credit than others probably do. Yes, it was the right, mature,

607
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:53.480
<v Speaker 2>responsible thing to do, but I also think it was

608
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:55.519
<v Speaker 2>probably a little more difficult. At least it would have

609
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:58.319
<v Speaker 2>been difficult for me. Like if my dad was doing that,

610
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:01.599
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I don't think i'd have the

611
00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:04.640
<v Speaker 2>ability to tell him, hey, you were wrong. I would

612
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:07.400
<v Speaker 2>be so happy that my dad was that excited for me,

613
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:09.000
<v Speaker 2>even if he did cross the line and looked like

614
00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:11.119
<v Speaker 2>a real piece of work. Didn't feel like dad.

615
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:11.680
<v Speaker 1>It does.

616
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:13.440
<v Speaker 2>It feels like it was ten years ago for some reason.

617
00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:14.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad you said that. I'm not the only I'm

618
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:17.200
<v Speaker 2>glad I'm not the only one that thinks that, all right,

619
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:18.559
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna get to a quick break just a moment,

620
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:19.880
<v Speaker 2>but I do want to talk about it a little bit.

621
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:21.240
<v Speaker 2>We have not got to it in the five o'clock

622
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:23.200
<v Speaker 2>hour yet, but obviously we have throughout the show here

623
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:26.240
<v Speaker 2>and there discussed just the tragic situation out in southeastern

624
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:29.519
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky as the tornado that came through on Friday evening

625
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.839
<v Speaker 2>just absolutely devastated that area of Kentucky. We now have

626
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:36.200
<v Speaker 2>nineteen people that have that have lost their life in

627
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:39.119
<v Speaker 2>the state of Kentucky, seventeen of those coming from Laurel County,

628
00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:42.599
<v Speaker 2>which is there in London, and then one that had

629
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:46.160
<v Speaker 2>passed away in Pulaski County and another in Russell County.

630
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:49.319
<v Speaker 2>So just the devastation that this storm left in a

631
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:52.920
<v Speaker 2>specific area. Again, it's wide spread as far as just

632
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.880
<v Speaker 2>the damage, and I guess there's no way to really

633
00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:00.000
<v Speaker 2>quantify if it's devastation or not. I mean, people lost

634
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:02.359
<v Speaker 2>their lives. When that happens, you don't probably think much

635
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:05.160
<v Speaker 2>about your home and your valuables. I mean you will

636
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:06.759
<v Speaker 2>at some point, and that is still a devastating thing

637
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:11.279
<v Speaker 2>to experience. But just to see how wiped out this

638
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:14.920
<v Speaker 2>specific area of a neighborhood is is. I mean, I

639
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:17.440
<v Speaker 2>feel wrong as if it's the first thing that came

640
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:19.759
<v Speaker 2>to my mind, but as soon as I saw the

641
00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:22.960
<v Speaker 2>aftermath from the drone footage, I mean, my instant thought was,

642
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:27.400
<v Speaker 2>there's no scenario anybody that was where that took place survived.

643
00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:29.559
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know if I'm right or wrong about that,

644
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:33.200
<v Speaker 2>but it's just maybe it's the recency here, but I

645
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.200
<v Speaker 2>believe this is the worst I've seen as far as

646
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:43.279
<v Speaker 2>any damage in any tornado in Kentucky that I can remember.

647
00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I know Dawson Springs was really really bad years back.

648
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:50.640
<v Speaker 2>I know Mayfield, Kentucky had a very devastating tornado that

649
00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:55.440
<v Speaker 2>did a real, you know, just tear, just tragic damage

650
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:58.559
<v Speaker 2>to those communities, and it's really not worth there's no

651
00:30:58.599 --> 00:31:01.720
<v Speaker 2>benefit in determining which one's worse than the other, because

652
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:03.079
<v Speaker 2>there's again there's no point in that.

653
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:03.839
<v Speaker 3>But just the.

654
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Visual of this is just it's it's heartbreaking. So thoughts

655
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.640
<v Speaker 2>and prayers to all those impacted by because this has

656
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:14.480
<v Speaker 2>got to be I mean devastating. I know I've mentioned

657
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:15.960
<v Speaker 2>that word quite a bit, but I think that's the

658
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:18.559
<v Speaker 2>best one to use for lack of maybe a better one.

659
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:23.079
<v Speaker 2>So thoughts and prayers, and if there is a positive

660
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:25.039
<v Speaker 2>to take from this is just to see that there

661
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:26.599
<v Speaker 2>is still a lot of good out there, those that

662
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.640
<v Speaker 2>have just been trying like crazy to do whatever they

663
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:31.680
<v Speaker 2>can to get there, to be front and center to

664
00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:34.200
<v Speaker 2>help in any way, whether it be donating something or

665
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:36.559
<v Speaker 2>putting some gloves on and actually getting to work and

666
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:39.400
<v Speaker 2>helping with clean up. I mean, that is a real

667
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:41.519
<v Speaker 2>That's something that stands out to me more than it

668
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:44.960
<v Speaker 2>did maybe in my younger years, to where I'm always

669
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:47.599
<v Speaker 2>now at least a little more aware of those who

670
00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:51.359
<v Speaker 2>are just doing good things for people because they want to,

671
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:54.599
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's just not even a decision for them,

672
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:56.759
<v Speaker 2>it's just what they do, it's how they are. Those

673
00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:58.839
<v Speaker 2>are great people that you know. It's nice to know

674
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:00.480
<v Speaker 2>that they're still out there. And I don't think there's

675
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:03.359
<v Speaker 2>ever been a thought that they weren't. But this day

676
00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:06.359
<v Speaker 2>and age and the new cycle and whatnot, you know,

677
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:08.440
<v Speaker 2>you don't, you know, maybe it's just us getting caught

678
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:09.720
<v Speaker 2>up in our own lives to where we don't think

679
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:12.160
<v Speaker 2>about it much. But it does warm my heart, if

680
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I can say. Maybe that's corny to some, but to

681
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:16.680
<v Speaker 2>see the amount of people here in Kentucky that want

682
00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:19.839
<v Speaker 2>to help other Kentuckians who are going through something just tragic.

683
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.720
<v Speaker 2>So again, we'll have more updates on that as we

684
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:26.079
<v Speaker 2>learn more as far as the total number, but right now,

685
00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:30.559
<v Speaker 2>nineteen was the total as far as lives lost from

686
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:33.119
<v Speaker 2>this storm as of noon this afternoon, according to Andy Basheer.

687
00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:35.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break, we'll come back and wrap it up.

688
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:36.720
<v Speaker 2>On the other side, it's Coffee and Company. Feel about

689
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:38.279
<v Speaker 2>Thornton's on Sports Talk seven.

690
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Ninety Now back to Coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's

691
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:44.559
<v Speaker 1>on Sports Talk seven nine day.

692
00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:52.559
<v Speaker 2>So Scotty Scheffler, with his PGA Championship victory over the weekend,

693
00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:57.200
<v Speaker 2>he's increased his career winnings to eighty one point nine million,

694
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:00.000
<v Speaker 2>and in twenty twenty five already he's sitting at ten

695
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:03.720
<v Speaker 2>point one million. So this guy was already one of

696
00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:08.039
<v Speaker 2>the best golfers in the world when he was arriving

697
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:10.279
<v Speaker 2>at Louisville last year to participate in this same event.

698
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:12.960
<v Speaker 2>And I don't see any sign of him slowing down.

699
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:15.400
<v Speaker 2>He's still phenomenal. You don't even have to follow golf

700
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:17.599
<v Speaker 2>at all to know that he's a big name, but

701
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.240
<v Speaker 2>I think the best case scenario of the LMPD and

702
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:25.480
<v Speaker 2>really Louisville, I guess catching strays from the situation last year.

703
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:27.359
<v Speaker 2>I just don't think that's gonna go away anytime soon,

704
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:32.000
<v Speaker 2>because obviously he's not going anywhere anytime soon. And I

705
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:35.000
<v Speaker 2>think just because of the nature of that entire situation,

706
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:40.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it is such a rare, almost unbelievable type

707
00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:43.000
<v Speaker 2>of thing that occurred to where it's gonna stick around.

708
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:47.079
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be, you know, something that you think about

709
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:49.839
<v Speaker 2>for a long time when you think of Scheffler, because

710
00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:54.720
<v Speaker 2>not many can say on their way to any event

711
00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:57.920
<v Speaker 2>that you participate in as professional athlete that that kind

712
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:03.640
<v Speaker 2>of thing would happen. I mean, Nike's Nikes ad yesterday

713
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:07.240
<v Speaker 2>for him was probably something we should have just expect.

714
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:09.559
<v Speaker 2>We're not gonna live this down for a long time,

715
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:12.880
<v Speaker 2>but Nike's ad said best player in the world, question

716
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:17.119
<v Speaker 2>mark guilty. I also feel like he clearly leaned into

717
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:20.039
<v Speaker 2>it by showing up at the start of this event

718
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:22.599
<v Speaker 2>wearing an orange shirt that was very similar to the

719
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:24.559
<v Speaker 2>shade of orange that he was wearing in his jumpsuit

720
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:26.880
<v Speaker 2>for his mugshot before they let him out and let

721
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.239
<v Speaker 2>him go back to Valhalla. So and he's a really

722
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:32.559
<v Speaker 2>likable guy too, So there's not gonna be much of

723
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:36.280
<v Speaker 2>a scenario where like there's gonna be much defense of

724
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:38.679
<v Speaker 2>like okay, we get it, move on. They dropped the

725
00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:40.880
<v Speaker 2>charges like I think he's gonna conte and he's not

726
00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:42.320
<v Speaker 2>even the one doing it, by the way, Like I mean,

727
00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:44.199
<v Speaker 2>I think maybe leaning into it, as I mentioned with

728
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:47.440
<v Speaker 2>the shirt, but we we're gonna have we're gonna have

729
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:48.880
<v Speaker 2>to live with that one for a long time around here,

730
00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:50.639
<v Speaker 2>and I think we should just accept it. Right.

731
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:53.880
<v Speaker 4>They also did the thing on the McAfee or on

732
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:55.800
<v Speaker 4>not the McAfee show in College Game Day where he

733
00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:58.280
<v Speaker 4>was a special guest when it was a Louisville Miami game,

734
00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:00.880
<v Speaker 4>that's right, and they were got about fun at that too.

735
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's I mean, we're going to be connected to

736
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Scheffler one way or the other for a long time,

737
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:09.760
<v Speaker 2>and it's gonna be bad, Like it's not going to

738
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:11.800
<v Speaker 2>be in good, you know. But I guess maybe in

739
00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:14.079
<v Speaker 2>a way, like we'll find a way as a city

740
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:17.639
<v Speaker 2>to lean into it. And I doubt that happens, And

741
00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:19.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm not really sure what could be done. But he's

742
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:22.320
<v Speaker 2>got he's likable, he's got a lot of momentum, He's

743
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:24.440
<v Speaker 2>not going anywhere. He's on top right now for that

744
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:27.679
<v Speaker 2>pg Championship win. And again, I just think the nature

745
00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:29.760
<v Speaker 2>of what went on is something that when you think

746
00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:33.760
<v Speaker 2>of Scotti Schefler, you'll think of, Wow, this guy's amazing

747
00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:36.559
<v Speaker 2>at golf. He seems likable. Can you believe LMPD threw

748
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:39.159
<v Speaker 2>him in jail before he got to start the PGA

749
00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Championship in twenty twenty four. It's it's it's kind of crazy.

750
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:45.559
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, real quick, this is a list that has

751
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:47.960
<v Speaker 2>the college basketball programs with the most wins in the

752
00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:52.199
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenties. And I think there's a few a few

753
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:56.840
<v Speaker 2>things here that really are are the reasons you see

754
00:35:56.840 --> 00:35:59.159
<v Speaker 2>these programs here, and there are different reasons for that.

755
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:03.760
<v Speaker 2>So I'll start with Hughton. Houston's been insanely successful. Shouldn't

756
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:05.719
<v Speaker 2>be a shock. They have one hundred and sixty wins

757
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:08.880
<v Speaker 2>in the twenty twenties. They dominated the American Conference and

758
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:11.519
<v Speaker 2>then but at the time, the toughest conference in college

759
00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:13.239
<v Speaker 2>hoops was the Big Twelve. They show up win the

760
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:17.000
<v Speaker 2>league two straight years as members of the league. So

761
00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Gonzaga they're at number They're at number two with one

762
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:23.119
<v Speaker 2>hundred and forty three wins. Gonzaga is a good program,

763
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:25.480
<v Speaker 2>but like they're there because of why they play in

764
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:28.280
<v Speaker 2>a terrible conference that it's hard for them to lose games.

765
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:33.880
<v Speaker 2>It seems Drake Drake was phenomenal. Dairy En Devrees parlayed

766
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:36.719
<v Speaker 2>that into the West Virginia job, and then what did

767
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Drake do? They hired Ben McCallum, who was there for

768
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:43.199
<v Speaker 2>a year and was better than Darien Debrees. Duke is

769
00:36:43.199 --> 00:36:45.920
<v Speaker 2>at won thirty four. That speaks to Duke being great,

770
00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:49.239
<v Speaker 2>but also it speaks to I think the ACC not

771
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:51.480
<v Speaker 2>challenging Duke the way that it used to. Duke doesn't

772
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:54.079
<v Speaker 2>have as much competition as they once did in the ACC.

773
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:57.239
<v Speaker 2>Purdue's a number is tied for number four. It won

774
00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:01.639
<v Speaker 2>thirty four, no surprise. Matt Painter has phenomenal and they

775
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:04.440
<v Speaker 2>had two years where they had two of the best

776
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:06.199
<v Speaker 2>teams in the country. I mean, was Zach Edy was there.

777
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:07.920
<v Speaker 2>They played in the championship game one year. They did

778
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:09.960
<v Speaker 2>lose in the first round to a sixteen, but they

779
00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:11.199
<v Speaker 2>were a one seed, so they won a lot of

780
00:37:11.239 --> 00:37:14.039
<v Speaker 2>games then last year they were really good. Yukon is

781
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:17.559
<v Speaker 2>at one thirty. That speaks to Dan Hurley in the

782
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:19.199
<v Speaker 2>run that he's been on in quite some time. So

783
00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:23.440
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the top ten, it's Arizona obviously they

784
00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:27.360
<v Speaker 2>they've been really good under Tommy Lloyd. Alabama's right behind them.

785
00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Nat Oates has gotten it rolling. Tennessee. Rick Barnes has

786
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:33.519
<v Speaker 2>been the most has been the winningest SEC coach in

787
00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:37.199
<v Speaker 2>league play since he was hired, So not a surprise there.

788
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:39.599
<v Speaker 2>And then Kansas is at one twenty seven, which actually

789
00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:42.440
<v Speaker 2>surprises me because the last two years, I bet if

790
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:44.440
<v Speaker 2>you just do this based off of two thousand to

791
00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:46.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three, I'd be willing to bet that Kansas

792
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:48.159
<v Speaker 2>would have been a lot higher. But they've lost a

793
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:49.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of games in the last few years that you

794
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:52.079
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't necessarily expect. But the other thing I wanted to

795
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:55.280
<v Speaker 2>get to is you've got teams, and this is this

796
00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:57.400
<v Speaker 2>is based off like the top thirty. You've got teams

797
00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:02.199
<v Speaker 2>like Texas State, who's in the top fifteen. You may think,

798
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:06.559
<v Speaker 2>what well Texas State their coach who was a big

799
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:08.239
<v Speaker 2>part of all those wins, at least most of them.

800
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:09.559
<v Speaker 2>I should say not all of them, but a lot

801
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:13.280
<v Speaker 2>of them was Grant Masilic, Ormsillic or something like that,

802
00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:15.199
<v Speaker 2>who's now at Texas Tech, who just took them to

803
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:20.199
<v Speaker 2>the Elite eight. You've got Vcu Ryan Odom, a really

804
00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:22.599
<v Speaker 2>good coach, a lot of those wins. In fact, all

805
00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:27.079
<v Speaker 2>those wins are probably him now he's at Virginia. You've

806
00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:32.159
<v Speaker 2>got Liberty. They've been really good at their level. Their

807
00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:33.679
<v Speaker 2>coach is kind of I think they've stayed with the

808
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:35.960
<v Speaker 2>same guy. But then you go to Utah State. They

809
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:38.360
<v Speaker 2>had a very successful coach who I can't remember where

810
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:40.599
<v Speaker 2>he left to take over, but he won there, and

811
00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:43.880
<v Speaker 2>then they ended up hiring Youngstown State's coach who ended

812
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:46.119
<v Speaker 2>up taking over big jump from him to go to

813
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:48.199
<v Speaker 2>Youngstown State to Utah State. He won a bunch of

814
00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:49.760
<v Speaker 2>games in his first year. So what I'm getting at

815
00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:53.119
<v Speaker 2>is this is to me at least a sign that

816
00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:56.239
<v Speaker 2>you can, in this current era take a coach who

817
00:38:56.280 --> 00:39:00.199
<v Speaker 2>wins a lot at a lower level and not necessarily

818
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:03.599
<v Speaker 2>be worried about can they make the jump? You never know,

819
00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:06.440
<v Speaker 2>but if there iss good of coaches, as you believe,

820
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:09.239
<v Speaker 2>they'll be able to utilize the resources at the better

821
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:11.880
<v Speaker 2>job and win, and you know what, the guys who

822
00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:14.960
<v Speaker 2>take over for them will be able to sustain, at

823
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:17.719
<v Speaker 2>least to an extent if those coaches that they're taking

824
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:19.519
<v Speaker 2>over for were as good as you thought. So I

825
00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:22.840
<v Speaker 2>just think moving forward, hiring guys like Pat Kelcey and

826
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Mark Pope who climbed the ladder the way they did,

827
00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:27.119
<v Speaker 2>I think that's the better payoff for these jobs, which

828
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:28.639
<v Speaker 2>by the way, there's going to be other big jobs

829
00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:30.920
<v Speaker 2>opening up, especially in the ACC, in the years to come.

830
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:33.400
<v Speaker 2>So I just think that's the path you should go

831
00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:35.400
<v Speaker 2>if you're a college program. All Right, we're at a

832
00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:37.559
<v Speaker 2>time you guys, enjoy your evening, have your night,
