But uh no, I uh, I'll tell you 42 00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.840 what I'm I'm excited and cannot wait to get the 43 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.840 summer started. And I'm excited for the these next two weeks. 44 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.519 So for those who missed it, and I'm not gonna 45 00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:05.599 spend nearly as much time on it today as I 46 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:10.000 did last Friday. But maybe people weren't listening on Friday. 47 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.680 Maybe somebody listens only on Mondays. I don't know your schedule. 48 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.919 You know it is what it is. But starting June second, 49 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.439 I will I will be moving to a different station 50 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.199 within our family here of iHeart Louisville. I'll be moving 51 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.840 to News Radio eight forty whas stepping in to to 52 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.719 host Kentucky and His Morning News as Tony Cruz is 53 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.400 set to retire. I'll be joining Scott Fitzgerald, John Alden, 54 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.840 John Shannon, that great crew. That's that's been in place 55 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.360 for quite some time now. So again when I mentioned 56 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.599 there's only this many shows left and we're really gonna 57 00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:43.319 make the most of the time left, that's here. That 58 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.199 is what I'm referring to. And you know, if you 59 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:47.960 missed the show Friday, you can go back and listen 60 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.360 to the podcast. Each hour will start with me kind 61 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.280 of sharing that news, and it's not super repetitive, but 62 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.080 you know that is. That is what I'm referring to. 63 00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.039 So to keep people from saying, you know, what the 64 00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.080 hell is he talking about? That, that's in fact what 65 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.400 it is. So in all seriousness, I am looking forward 66 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.000 to whatever the hell happens in these next two weeks, 67 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.439 because you know, I always try to my best every 68 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.439 day to to you know, have a fun show and 69 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.120 keep you guys listening and hopefully however much time you're 70 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.479 able to give us you you walk away thinking, you 71 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:21.759 know what, Nick and Austin weren't so bad. I'm a 72 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.199 I'm a tune in tomorrow as well. I mean, I 73 00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.360 hope that's the way, uh the experience works out for you. 74 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.759 But we're gonna have some fun. Like I don't really 75 00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.080 have any big plans as far as how how we finish, 76 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.840 but uh, you know, the goal is always to make 77 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.360 the most of it and uh have some fun. And 78 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:39.080 I do have next week a couple of things I 79 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:40.840 want to try to make sure I do as it'll be, 80 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.960 you know, the last week. But uh, yeah, that's uh, 81 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.360 that's the news that if you didn't hear Friday, that's 82 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.879 that's what it is. So back to you know what 83 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.199 we typically do here talk sports. Actually, let me let 84 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.360 me back up just a second. I'll tell you what 85 00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.879 I Uh, I'd be foolish not to mention what has 86 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.680 happened in our state. And I've throughout the last I 87 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.599 don't know, half year or so. You know, I've made reference. 88 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:06.840 And it's not as if I'm saying it in a 89 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:08.879 joking way, but you know you've heard me say, Man, 90 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.520 Mother Nature's not been too kind to us when it 91 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.960 comes to this state of Kentucky, the city of Louisville specifically, 92 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.360 meaning because that's where we live. Obviously that's the majority 93 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.560 of our audience is in the Kentucky and area. But man, 94 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:23.959 it really is the entire state of Kentucky that has 95 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.560 just had absolute tragic weather. I mean, we knew that 96 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.560 the storms were coming in on Friday, we knew that 97 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.920 they were severe, and I mean, I don't think you 98 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:38.560 ever think to yourself, well, I wonder what the total 99 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.600 is going to be as far as the you know, 100 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:42.759 those who end up you know, those who end up 101 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.879 passing away losing their life. I mean, that's a that's 102 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.399 an awful thing to ever like think about before it happens, 103 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:49.879 because who. 104 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:50.560 Would do that, right? 105 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.720 But that's that's in fact what has taken place. I 106 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.079 mean we've had I believe a total now of I 107 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:03.279 think nineteen killed in Kentucky with the tornado. They're still 108 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:09.319 searching for survivors. The footage of the area that was hit, 109 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:14.000 specifically in Laurel County, I mean, I kind of feel 110 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.680 like it's something i've never I've never seen before, and 111 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.800 I'm sure there are other storms that have had results 112 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:22.639 that are similar or maybe worse as far as just 113 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:24.399 the visual and I guess really that's just up to 114 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:28.199 you to determine on your own end. But the area, 115 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.800 the neighborhood that has you know, I don't know how 116 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.959 many houses, but I mean it's not just as if 117 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.279 you can tell a storm came through and did some damage. 118 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:41.600 It's completely wiped out. I mean Saturday morning seeing I 119 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.040 guess the first drone footage that went viral, I mean 120 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:51.000 it was, I mean, it it'll almost you know, it's 121 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.560 crushing and then you know, I mean I knew this, 122 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.079 this is this is something you probably don't think about. 123 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.920 But then when you hear people hear from people who 124 00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:58.920 have been able to actually see it up close, they'll 125 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.480 tell you, not surprisingly, that it's actually worse than you 126 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:03.160 would imagine. 127 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:04.319 And I mean I get it. 128 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.839 I mean I've not ever seen destruction quite like that 129 00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.160 from a tornado and to see what it's done to, 130 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.040 you know, a house that a family has called their 131 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.279 home for however many years, and now it's just completely demolished, 132 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.800 and some people are are now dead because of this, 133 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.920 and they're still trying to track down survivors. I mean, 134 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.639 it's just it's an absolutely tragic situation that you know, 135 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.560 it'll be remembered for a long time. And when you 136 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:38.120 consider the flooding that's taken place, the severe winter that 137 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.040 we had, I mean, it's just been it's been a 138 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.920 rough go. And you also, in times like this, you 139 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:47.160 are reminded of something that we probably you know, need 140 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.720 to be reminded of more often than we are, and 141 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.680 that is that there are really really good people that 142 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:54.439 just want to help, and the amount of folks that 143 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.839 are just showing up to try to do whatever they 144 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.319 can to help people. You know, obviously, I'm sure a 145 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:01.959 lot of money has already been raised to go to 146 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.639 those who are gonna certainly need it, but also just 147 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.920 people showing up like, hey, what can I do to help? 148 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:10.319 And I thought it was really good of the KSR 149 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.720 crew this morning to to be on site for their 150 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.480 show right near where you know, it was most devastating, 151 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:20.839 and have local folks that are that are you know, 152 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.120 part of that community, government officials and whatnot that are 153 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:25.759 that are letting you know how you can help. And 154 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:27.680 you know, I think some people just want to show 155 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.879 up and you know, their heart's in the right place. 156 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.120 They really want to in a big way to help. However, 157 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:34.959 you know, you just don't know, like maybe it's a 158 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:36.720 little overwhelming of people to just show up. So again, 159 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:38.560 I mean, I would continue if you want to help, 160 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.439 there's certain ways you can you can learn as to 161 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.040 what would be the best way to to help, because again, 162 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.079 it probably changes, right like they may run into in 163 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:51.439 you know, a few days that maybe something that they 164 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:56.240 didn't they didn't necessarily you know, need at that time 165 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:57.920 right now, Maybe they're going to need it in a 166 00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:00.560 few days. But have you seen Austin some the some 167 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.680 of the footage of just how devastating it is. Yeah, 168 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.800 it's it feels gross comparing like other storms and what 169 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:09.839 it's done. But I think it's also kind of human nature, 170 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.439 like the neighborhood specifically, and I think it's bigger than 171 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.480 just your standard neighborhood. But where it really seemed to 172 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:19.360 do its most damage. I mean it it's it's not 173 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.439 just wow, it really damaged. I mean it completely wiped 174 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:24.600 out so many people's homes. 175 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:27.680 And stuff that has just like been thrown onto cars 176 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:29.439 I've seen and just like. 177 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:32.840 It feels, I wouldn't say. 178 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.360 I don't know, maybe it does feel a little bit 179 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.960 unsettling just because a lot had a lot of destruction 180 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.240 has happened to the state and just this year, and 181 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.320 that's something that I feel like we haven't seen on 182 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.360 a regular basis, and it's it's just been really ramped 183 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.879 up this year. And it's I mean, I don't know. 184 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.519 For the longest time, I just thought that we were 185 00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:51.960 immune to it. Right, we haven't had a tornado hit 186 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.440 Kentucky and forever. I remember there was that big one 187 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.480 in eastern Kentucky years ago, but like there's been a 188 00:08:58.480 --> 00:08:59.399 few of them this year. 189 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:01.919 Yeah, yeah, And I don't know. 190 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.519 I I don't know if this is I don't think 191 00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:08.000 this is like inhumane or anything like that. But it's 192 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.519 when I look at some of the pictures and against 193 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.240 some of the video footage, you know, my mind does 194 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.399 go to, well, if you're in that home, there's no 195 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.200 way you survived, and that makes me feel like again, 196 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.200 like I'm like, that's a sick and twisted way to 197 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.200 to to look at it. But I'm sure I'm not 198 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.320 the only one, but like you're not. It's you're not 199 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.960 used to seeing a residential area that you know, for 200 00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:30.960 however many years people called it their home. You know 201 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.679 kids probably play on that street. You see somebody's backyard 202 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.000 that they probably had, you know, cookouts, and you know 203 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.799 it's it's your home, and it's one thing to lose 204 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:42.679 your home, but to have people, you know, I mean 205 00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:43.600 lose their lives. 206 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.679 I mean it's it's mother Nature can be you know, there's. 207 00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:51.000 She can be a real uh, she can be devastating. 208 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.559 And there's certain things that you know, weather can get 209 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.960 in the way, whether can impact your events that you 210 00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.919 want to do, whether it can impact a lot of things. 211 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.360 But when something weather related takes someone's life, like it 212 00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:06.759 really is a completely different situation in every aspect to 213 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.679 where like has me thinking, like, no matter what happens 214 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.919 weather related, whether it be. 215 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:12.919 I don't know. 216 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.000 I mean, we don't live anywhere where a hurricane would happen, 217 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:22.600 but whatever the hurricane, flooding, tornadoes, you know, I guess 218 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.919 cold weather to where it can freeze things, to where 219 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:28.799 you know you don't have any resource for heat, like 220 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.759 whatever it is, I mean like if you can still 221 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:35.639 keep yourself safe, keep your loved ones safe. I mean 222 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.720 I feel like these are the kind of things that 223 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.919 make me make me at least be able to hope 224 00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.240 that if there ever is a situation to where I 225 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:46.720 lose my home or there's crazy damage or you know, 226 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.639 just something really really bad, but everybody in my life 227 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.159 is safe, and really everybody's safe, Like whenever there's a 228 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:55.960 rare situation where you you look back and think, man, 229 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.960 that's insane that this type of damage took place and 230 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.600 yet nobody lost the life, Like think I'm seeing the 231 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:06.080 situation that unfolded this weekend, specifically Friday. I mean, that's 232 00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.879 that's what makes you really realize that, you know, that's 233 00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:09.600 what it's all about. 234 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:10.000 I don't know. 235 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.399 I to just know that people lost loved ones and 236 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.480 of course lost everything because of this. I don't know 237 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.559 how it can't make you learn to appreciate what you 238 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:20.799 have a little bit more so. 239 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:22.799 I uh, yeah, I've. 240 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:25.519 Thought some prayers to everybody affected. I mean that I 241 00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:28.799 feel like the eastern part of Kentucky has been has 242 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.519 been hit harder than really any part of this state. 243 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:36.399 And I'm not sure what the extent of storm damage is. 244 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.600 Hurricane hurricanes, tornadoes, whatever it is. It's not something I 245 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:41.639 keep up with year round. I'm not It's not something 246 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:45.039 that I'm you know, super interested in it just going 247 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.360 in and looking at I'm more of a hey, how 248 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.799 does it impact me, which I you know, I think 249 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:50.399 that's what a lot of how a lot of folks are. 250 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.600 But man, it is, Uh, it's devastating, and I I'm 251 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.120 kind of the point now where I really I really 252 00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.360 feel like looking at it like it just puts me 253 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.440 in a bad spot. But it also again I guess 254 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.240 it'll make you appreciate what it is that you actually have. 255 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:08.799 But yeah, it wasn't just Kentucky by the way. I 256 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:14.879 think there's up to thirty people overall. Obviously the state 257 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:16.639 of Missouri got hit pretty bad. 258 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:19.000 So oh yeah, those videos are pretty nice. 259 00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.240 Yeah, and I feel like, more often than not if 260 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:23.240 I see and I guess there are certain parts of 261 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.879 the country that are much more prone to getting hit 262 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:29.759 with tornadoes that can be really devastating. In Missouri has 263 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.240 always seemed to be one that has had some real 264 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.840 devastation when it comes to that kind of stuff. So yeah, 265 00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:37.519 at least I think it's nineteen people now in the 266 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:40.399 state of Kentucky have been confirmed dead from this, and 267 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.799 throughout five states in the South and Midwest. It was 268 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:50.080 really just Friday night and just absolutely devastating, and again, 269 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:51.320 I don't know what to compare it to, and it 270 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.559 feels gross comparing it. As I mentioned, but when you're 271 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.480 just scrolling through one of your social media platforms and 272 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.440 you're seeing and you know, may there it be Facebook 273 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.120 reels or Instagram reels or TikTok whatever it may be Instagram, 274 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.679 you know, you see someone who had their phone out 275 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:10.879 videoing certain things, and you know, like, I don't know, 276 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.639 I guess what I'm getting at as I'm spending my 277 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:14.519 wheels here. I'm not to the point where it's almost 278 00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:17.759 like uncomfortable to like look at because I feel like, 279 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:21.559 although I'm interested, like I can't look away. It's like 280 00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:25.480 I don't know, I just it's been these kind of things. 281 00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:30.440 The devastation total here is is it puts me in 282 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:32.720 a spot to where I hope that I learned to 283 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.799 appreciate everything I have in life, because you can you 284 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:37.360 can just all of a sudden lose at all, lose 285 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.720 a loved one, lose your life with things like this. 286 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:44.360 So yeah, thoughts and prayers to everybody, everybody involved. Alread again, 287 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.440 it is coffee and company. We are feel about Thornton's 288 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.159 here on Sports Talk seven ninety Nick Coffee. That's me 289 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:52.720 Austin Montgomery alongside today as we take you up until 290 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.519 six o'clock. You can take us with you wherever you 291 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.440 want to go. Listen live on the iHeart Radio app. 292 00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:01.519 Also listen live at seven ninety Louisville dot Com. We'll 293 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:03.159 be all over the place today. We do some big 294 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.960 news that I was not expecting to be on the 295 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.279 list of things to discuss today, but certainly, when Louisville 296 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.120 basketball adds a new player to the roster for the 297 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.960 upcoming season, that's certainly something we've got to discuss. However, 298 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.120 I will admit to you not a name I'd ever 299 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.799 heard of, other than seeing that he is somebody that 300 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:26.919 has in fact committed to Louisville. So Mohammed Kamara from Senegal, 301 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.120 a six to eight big man, is going to be 302 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:32.720 a Louisville cardinal least twenty years old. And again, I'm 303 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:34.840 just going to read for you what I know about him, 304 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:36.919 what I have read about him, you know, in the 305 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.080 last couple of hours, because maybe there are some that 306 00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:42.879 did have some real insight to this recruitment and we're 307 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.120 aware of it. But I'm willing to be transparent and 308 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:45.759 honest with you. 309 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:46.320 I don't have a. 310 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.879 Clue who this is, but if Pat Kelsey believes that 311 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.279 he's somebody that can help this team, then you know 312 00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:54.919 that's good news. But again, he's six', eight he comes 313 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.919 from THE Nba Academy africa and average ten point seven, 314 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.600 boards three and a half a cis two point eight, 315 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:03.960 steals two and a half blocks per game at The, 316 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:10.360 academy shot thirty seven percent from. Three so this tells 317 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.600 me that they are just trying to add some more 318 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:15.960 presents in the front. COURT i, mean obviously you did 319 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.240 Lose James, scott which WAS i, MEAN i don't know 320 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.120 if any any loss can be considered like an unexpected 321 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:23.840 loss in the portal, era because there are certain guys 322 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.120 that will surprise you more than others if they do 323 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.399 decide to, leave and that's WHAT i Think James scott. 324 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:32.080 Was but, overall like guys hitting the portal, like that's 325 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:33.919 just now the way things. Go so when it, happens 326 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:36.240 you got to be. Prepared and With James scott off 327 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.559 the board and now at, all, MISS i don't know 328 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:41.200 IF i would say That kamara is his, replacement but 329 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:44.919 they've now added a piece in the front court after losing, 330 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:48.679 one and they're still up in the air obviously With Ali, khalifa. 331 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:51.200 So we'll see sort of how his appeal process. 332 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:51.440 Goes. 333 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.840 Again the biggest issue there is there's no. TIMETABLE i, 334 00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:54.159 mean n is. 335 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:57.879 Douaa they've probably been made aware That louisville is going 336 00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.000 to appeal this, decision And Ali khalifa has hired an. 337 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.039 Attorney but as far as like when they get an, 338 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.440 update as far as the appeal being a success or a, 339 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.159 failure you, know it's it's anybody's guests as far as 340 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:11.679 when you get, that when you get that. Information Also Scotty, 341 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.279 schffler the winner of THE Pga, championship and anybody who 342 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:19.039 is surprised that there was some level of like coverage 343 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:21.960 of this in you, know with with a mention or 344 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.120 a reference to what happened last year at THE Pga 345 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:26.600 championship In louisville with him getting, Arrested like you shouldn't 346 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:28.519 have been. Surprised that was a. Given but we can 347 00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:30.960 certainly get into that because you gotta wonder how long 348 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:32.639 is that going to be out? There like With Scotty, 349 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:35.360 scheffler that is such a wild thing to happen to 350 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:38.200 somebody who you, know is a professional golfer on his 351 00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:41.120 way to participate in THE Pga, championship that it's not 352 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:43.399 just going to go. Away but like if he stays, 353 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:46.840 dominant because he's a really really good, golfer very. Successful 354 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:48.879 you don't have to follow. GOLF i don't follow golf 355 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:50.879 that closely really at, all but clearly he's one of 356 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:53.399 the top golfers in the world right, now and he's 357 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:54.759 been on a hell of a run in the last 358 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.639 couple of, years it seems maybe even. Longer but if 359 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:02.000 he keeps keeps it, rolling will be arrest In louisville 360 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.640 still find its way to be?

Cool what 367 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:20.920 do you think would have been cooler him winning it 368 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:24.039 at the time right after being, arrested or just the 369 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:27.240 year of his. Anniversary but obviously you, know doing it 370 00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:29.480 after he just got out of after they just opened 371 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:30.559 up the clink for, Him. 372 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:32.200 Oh that would have been a bigger. Story, yeah and 373 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:32.799 that would have been. 374 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:35.079 TRULY i mean it already is kind of a maid 375 00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:37.079 for a movie, story, Right like it's got some Happy 376 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.519 gilmore element to. It but had he won it during 377 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.680 while that, happened like that would have BEEN i kind 378 00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.000 of feel like. It you, know maybe this is just 379 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.119 an exaggeration and we'll never, know but, LIKE i kind 380 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:48.319 of feel like it would have been an old time 381 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:51.759 memory in, golf just because it's so unlike any other 382 00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:54.920 story you can think of when it comes to, golf 383 00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:57.920 the gentleman's, game and you, know THE Pga championship such 384 00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:00.839 a prestigious.

While that's gonna be a tough one FOR 388 00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:08.759 lmpd to just completely dissolve themselves. From so we can 389 00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:12.359 certainly get into. That, ALSO nba, playoffs we now have 390 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.279 The Eastern Conference finals in The Western Conference finals. Set 391 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:19.359 i'll continue to say THE nba the, POSTSEASON i, think 392 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.000 despite still getting some big blowout losses like we saw 393 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:26.119 yesterday with The thunder running away with it against the 394 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:29.200 the the The NUGGETS i still think overall the playoffs 395 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.200 have been better this year than what we typically. Get, now, 396 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:36.240 again the. Blowouts thirty point wins In game seven is 397 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.799 not ideal for anybody under any. Circumstance and that is 398 00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:41.039 actually something that has been happening for a while to 399 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.039 where you'll get get, you you will get series that'll 400 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:47.319 that'll be competitive when it comes to the to the series, 401 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:52.640
