Speaker 1: It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.
Speaker 2: We will start the four o'clock hour with some breaking
Speaker 2: NFL news, as the Bears have hired Ben Johnson, the
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, who had a phenomenal
Speaker 2: season and until you until you ran into Jade Daniels
Speaker 2: and the Commanders, and obviously, I mean all credit to
Speaker 2: all credit to Washington. I mean, they've been a really
Speaker 2: fun story. And I don't I don't think it's really
Speaker 2: a debate from from my time watching the NFL, which
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's many of you that have watched it
Speaker 2: a lot longer than I have. Jayde Daniels is the
Speaker 2: best rookie quarterback I've ever seen. He's had the best
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback season I've ever seen, not only with his
Speaker 2: team having a run like this, but he has been
Speaker 2: fun nominal. So it's been kind of wild to see
Speaker 2: you kind of feel, you know, I find myself reminding myself,
Speaker 2: this is this is something you know, we probably won't
Speaker 2: see again. I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but it's been
Speaker 2: that special. So with all that said, you know, He's
Speaker 2: got a lot of talent. Jared Goff good quarterback, but
Speaker 2: like maybe Ben Johnson is way better than people realize.
Speaker 2: Maybe he was able to work with golf more so
Speaker 2: than I mean, because golf in LA. I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't feel like he was even considered like like the
Speaker 2: level below. Like he played in the Super Bowl with
Speaker 2: the Rams, did he wasn't the first Rams super Bowl
Speaker 2: appearance with him when they lost to the to the Patriots. Yeah, so,
Speaker 2: like you know, he wasn't terrible, but when he got
Speaker 2: traded to Detroit, like I think everybody just assumed that
Speaker 2: he would he would just kind of, you know, fade
Speaker 2: out and they wouldn't be good. And they became really
Speaker 2: good and he was a pack a factor in that.
Speaker 2: So credit to him. You know, he clearly has been
Speaker 2: good at times. But maybe, you know, well, Saturday was
Speaker 2: it was a night where I'm thinking, Okay, maybe Jared
Speaker 2: Goff just really benefited from landing in Detroit when he did,
Speaker 2: with and Ben Johnson being there too. But as a
Speaker 2: Vikings fan, I mean, does this make you fear the
Speaker 2: Bears at all? Because I mean the Bears, I mean,
Speaker 2: they're such a big brand, but man like they've been
Speaker 2: an absolute joke for a good stretch.
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, no, not really, because I know Ben Johnson's
Speaker 3: a good play caller, but I don't believe head coach anywhere.
Speaker 3: So everybody was like, ah, Ben Johnson, he's he's coaching
Speaker 3: circles around Kevin O'Connell and he does these trick plays,
Speaker 3: and well, guess what. He leaves the trick plays in
Speaker 3: the hands of his number two wide receiver the other night,
Speaker 3: and that's what ended up being there ultimate undoing. So
Speaker 3: I would settle down about the about him just ready
Speaker 3: to be a head coach. But on the converse side,
Speaker 3: if you start to think about it, logically, he should
Speaker 3: be good at developing Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2: He can. He can't be any worse than what they've had.
Speaker 2: Reason I mean, that's kind of not You.
Speaker 3: Don't go get a defensive guy like uber Flus when
Speaker 3: you're restructuring your whole team. They basically said, you know,
Speaker 3: have everything, were starting from the ground up, and that's
Speaker 3: more or less what they did, and they got a
Speaker 3: lot of things right with the draft picks, but they
Speaker 3: just didn't have the head coaching and play So I
Speaker 3: think that's gonna be a little bit better. And I
Speaker 3: always said that the Bears might be a little bit
Speaker 3: dangerous with some better coaching, and they sure can. They
Speaker 3: obviously had talent. But I'm not ready to just crown
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson as this head coach guy, because you also
Speaker 3: got to go in and set the culture too. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, going to be everything else also than a
Speaker 3: head coach.
Speaker 2: These things really there's very little guys who kind of
Speaker 2: work their way up and fall in to this Josh
Speaker 2: as they fall into it. But I mean, he clearly
Speaker 2: has been buzzing a little bit in the last couple
Speaker 2: of years. But you know, there have been many other
Speaker 2: coaches that have taken a similar path as far as
Speaker 2: just doing the coordinator thing for a while, having success,
Speaker 2: and then finally being a guy that teams want to
Speaker 2: make the head coach. And some guys have taken that
Speaker 2: and turned out to be phenomenal coaches, and then others,
Speaker 2: you know, they typically fall on their face and never
Speaker 2: get another opportunity. Like you know, I mean, I guess
Speaker 2: maybe the the guy that I would say would maybe
Speaker 2: be that that would be the argument against what I
Speaker 2: just said, is I feel like Matt Lafloor, like maybe
Speaker 2: some would say he's been really good, but I don't
Speaker 2: know if I really believe that, Like, you know, I
Speaker 2: think he's been a good coach. Yeah, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: but he's he hasn't done anything yet to turn into
Speaker 2: one of those great guys like a Sean McVay, who
Speaker 2: you know, was a was an offensive savant, got an
Speaker 2: opportunity here with the Rams, and he's been He's been
Speaker 2: great for the most part. He got it. He's got
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl, So you know, I guess maybe Matt
Speaker 2: Matt Lafloor gets there the other you know at some point.
Speaker 2: But I do feel like there's other guys that you know,
Speaker 2: like some that's why they retread so much, because those
Speaker 2: are the two candidates. Actually, let me back up the
Speaker 2: three types of coaches that you hire now in the NFL,
Speaker 2: and and I feel like the majority of the hires
Speaker 2: that have been made in the last I don't know,
Speaker 2: five six years, maybe longer have been one of these
Speaker 2: three things. Usually it's just an upcoming coordinator like this,
Speaker 2: or a retread, a guy that has had you know,
Speaker 2: stints at two different places but it wasn't great, but
Speaker 2: maybe you feel like he'd be a better fit for you, Like,
Speaker 2: who's the coach that was with the Jets and then
Speaker 2: went to the Dolphins. Bruh uh gosh, what was his name?
Speaker 2: Or maybe he went from the Dolphins to the Jets.
Speaker 2: I don't remember which one.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 3: Adam Gate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Adam Gaate. Like he he was not good the
Speaker 2: first stop he was at and somehow he got up.
Speaker 2: He got a second job.
Speaker 3: He just happened to be the offensive coordinator the rubbed
Speaker 3: elbows with Peyton Manning when they won a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: So that's why it was the hot Yeah, So like
Speaker 2: you've got you've got that, that route and then that.
Speaker 2: That's what I mean by retread, Like somebody like, for example,
Speaker 2: if Pete Carroll got hired, nobody'd be shocked because the
Speaker 2: NFL has done that where they'll like, hey, this guy,
Speaker 2: he's clearly good enough to utilize what we have. Like
Speaker 2: coaches in the NFL are so important, but they're also
Speaker 2: pretty expendable because you have so much more tied up
Speaker 2: in your players to where you're not necessarily always just
Speaker 2: factoring in does this guy just the absolute best football coach?
Speaker 2: There's a lot of components that go with it. So
Speaker 2: the retreads are pretty common. I think you usually see
Speaker 2: that whenever there's a little more desperation from from from
Speaker 2: a franchise. And then you also have the less common
Speaker 2: but becoming more common, a dude who just recently played
Speaker 2: that you feel like might be able to lead the
Speaker 2: locker room in a great way, like the Peers, who
Speaker 2: was one season with the Raiders. Yep, and then he's out.
Speaker 2: I mean there's been other I think there's been others
Speaker 2: that that have been in that position. I'm blanking on it.
Speaker 2: And then Mayo Mayo, he yeah, exactly, Yeah, that that
Speaker 2: was another one and he only got one season. So
Speaker 2: again that's not as common. But I also won't be
Speaker 2: shocked if you continue to see guys who don't have
Speaker 2: any coaching experience but are well respect I mean, look,
Speaker 2: that was Dion. I mean technically Dion, you know he did,
Speaker 2: he had not played in a long time, but like
Speaker 2: Dion really had no formal Like this is gonna sound
Speaker 2: like I'm insulting him, and maybe it isn't insult He
Speaker 2: could take it whatever he wants, and I'm sure he'll
Speaker 2: never hear this, but Dion wasn't qualified for the Jackson
Speaker 2: State job. Like there are guys who probably interviewed for
Speaker 2: that job and applied that have been college football head
Speaker 2: coaches for many years, successful at the lower level or
Speaker 2: maybe the same level of Jackson State. But obviously they
Speaker 2: couldn't do what Dion could do as far as the
Speaker 2: reach and the value. So you know you can. But
Speaker 2: but and he's also been there, like he's an elite level,
Speaker 2: all time type athlete. Therefore, clearly he's been a part
Speaker 2: of some really good environments and winning culture. And you know,
Speaker 2: those are the guys that are starting to get more
Speaker 2: opportunities really at every level in sports. It seems like
Speaker 2: like that's become a really and by the way, I
Speaker 2: think it's had more success in the pros than it
Speaker 2: has in college. I mean, guys who get jobs, I
Speaker 2: mean we know that better than anybody around here, don't
Speaker 2: we Guys who get jobs that you would never hire
Speaker 2: because they just they're they're in the industry. Maybe they've
Speaker 2: you know, maybe they're you know, they're in the business,
Speaker 2: and they're they're successful. But like if the one if
Speaker 2: the one factor that is dominating your decision is because
Speaker 2: the guy played there, that's telling you a lot and
Speaker 2: that we did that here it's happened to a lot
Speaker 2: of different places, So maybe that's not the perfect comparison.
Speaker 2: Guys who you know, don't have a ton of experience,
Speaker 2: but man, they're They've got a really good reputation in
Speaker 2: the NFL and football circle, so let's give him a shot.
Speaker 2: Maybe they're just great leaders and they understand what it
Speaker 2: takes to win and lead an organization, you know, from
Speaker 2: that position. So again, maybe it's not the exact same thing,
Speaker 2: but I get PTSD thinking about people hiring somebody that
Speaker 2: really the ultimate factor and why they're a candidate is
Speaker 2: because you like them and they have a connection to
Speaker 2: your program they played there. But anyways, it gives me
Speaker 2: a good way to transition here into some college basketball talkers.
Speaker 2: Louisville right now, I feel like the energy, the vibes
Speaker 2: from within not only the program, but obviously the fans
Speaker 2: are feeding off that. I feel like all of us collectively,
Speaker 2: right everybody involved, from top to bottom, Pat Kelsey to
Speaker 2: his entire staff, all of his players, all the administration,
Speaker 2: all the fans. Like, the good energy is through the
Speaker 2: roof and it's just been so fun in Louisville. Now
Speaker 2: back in the top twenty five, for the first time
Speaker 2: in four years. They are now a top twenty five team,
Speaker 2: and they got a big challenge tomorrow compared to you know,
Speaker 2: when it comes to just considering the rest of the schedule.
Speaker 2: I mean at SMU, a team that just put up
Speaker 2: one hundred and something points against against Miami, who, by
Speaker 2: the way, you want to make money in college basketball,
Speaker 2: I've not been able to really capitalize on it because
Speaker 2: it's usually a part of a parlay. But man, you
Speaker 2: got to fade Miami right now. Miami they are Kenny
Speaker 2: Payne fade worthy. I mean they are terrible, and I
Speaker 2: think people are aware of that. But you know, you
Speaker 2: usually don't find yourself thinking or paying much attention to
Speaker 2: teams that you know that are like just really bad,
Speaker 2: but you can benefit from it because they can't set
Speaker 2: a spread high enough for them to cover. That's how
Speaker 2: bad they are. Yeah, Miami just beat them one hundred
Speaker 2: and seventeen to seventy four. I mean it was did
Speaker 2: you see the halftime score? Yeah, I was thirty to twelve.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: I mean that's how look. And I think, as checked,
Speaker 2: SMU is a good team and I'm not gonna say
Speaker 2: that I'm worried. I mean, Lola could lose tomorrow. I
Speaker 2: know that, because look, they could lose to teams when
Speaker 2: they don't play well. But I also know that they're
Speaker 2: good when they play well, and they played pretty damn
Speaker 2: well for a good stretch now. So again, maybe they're
Speaker 2: due for off game, but I'm not going to assume
Speaker 2: that or expect that until I see any sign of it,
Speaker 2: because they're just not that's just not who they are
Speaker 2: right now. They are on a hell of a run
Speaker 2: and you know, they've just been so good defensively, and
Speaker 2: this is a reminder that when you are so active
Speaker 2: defensively and you are so precise in your game plan,
Speaker 2: it really makes up for a lot. Because Louisville, let's
Speaker 2: be real, they didn't have a I mean, they didn't
Speaker 2: have a great game statistically against Virginia, but it didn't
Speaker 2: matter because they're just a lot better than Virginia, and
Speaker 2: you know they won by fourteen. But here I am
Speaker 2: having some you know, having some weird feelings that like
Speaker 2: I forgot that these things do happen right when you
Speaker 2: like your team and you have a high expectation because
Speaker 2: your team has shown you they can be good. I
Speaker 2: kind of had a brief moment where I'm like, wait
Speaker 2: a second, why didn't we beat Virginia by more than fourteen?
Speaker 2: Like I'm not mad, trust me. There was no bad
Speaker 2: energy at all when it comes to the game Saturday,
Speaker 2: because things are great. But it's just you know the
Speaker 2: fact that I had that brief moment of knowing, like, hey,
Speaker 2: you're welcome, Virginia. We could have beat your ass a
Speaker 2: little bit more than we actually did. You're welcome, and
Speaker 2: that's just a good feeling to have because you you know,
Speaker 2: you have that. I mean, Louiell has proven and again
Speaker 2: maybe we learned that this means nothing when you get
Speaker 2: to the tournament because you know, the ACC sucks and
Speaker 2: you know, I don't care though, like I'm not. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that it means nothing, but I'm sure
Speaker 2: others probably view it that way. But like, I don't care.
Speaker 2: I'm just getting lost in just the run that they're
Speaker 2: on the wind streak and again they're gonna lose. Maybe
Speaker 2: they lose tomorrow, Like it's a real possibility and if
Speaker 2: you know, if that happens, then you know we'll react
Speaker 2: to it. But I mean, I'm I'm I'm going to
Speaker 2: hold this team to the standard that they've set. And
Speaker 2: I don't mean like they better go win or all
Speaker 2: this means nothing because that they've fallen apart if they lose. No,
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like, it's just nice to know that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like I'm I'm not a homer to look at Louisville
Speaker 2: in the way they played in the last six seven
Speaker 2: games and realize, yeah, despite SMU coming off of an
Speaker 2: insane game, or they scored you know, I mean, SMU
Speaker 2: scored a hundred again, one hundred and seventeen points. Their
Speaker 2: only two losses in league play are to Carolina and Duke,
Speaker 2: And of course, they're loss to Carolina was at Carolina,
Speaker 2: which not a bad loss by any means, although Stanford
Speaker 2: did surprisingly beat Carolina on Saturday, which was another not
Speaker 2: so good look for the ACC for being honest here.
Speaker 2: So look, Louisville has put themselves in a position to
Speaker 2: where they're gonna be expected to win every game the
Speaker 2: rest of the season internally, and I think fans again,
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's gonna lose their mind if they
Speaker 2: slip up and lose to somebody just because look, that's basketball.
Speaker 2: Can happen. But if you look at the rest of
Speaker 2: the schedule, I mean, they're going to be favored in
Speaker 2: every single game I would imagine, maybe other than tomorrow. Now,
Speaker 2: that probably says more about the ACC than it does
Speaker 2: anything else. But in fact, do you think they'll be
Speaker 2: favored to mor against SMU. I kind of feel like
Speaker 2: they will be, But then again, it is at SMU
Speaker 2: and SMU, you know, despite not really feeling like a
Speaker 2: real threat in basketball, like they they're decent and for
Speaker 2: the ACC, I think they right now, with the way
Speaker 2: they've played, you probably put them maybe as the third
Speaker 2: or fourth best team because Pitt keeps struggling Clemson, you know,
Speaker 2: I guess you could throw them in there, but Carolina loss.
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, I'm not worried about SMU, and
Speaker 2: maybe it's because I'm taking them lightly, but I happen
Speaker 2: to believe Austin that it's more so because I just
Speaker 2: know this Louisville team has shown that. Look they keep
Speaker 2: playing the way they're playing, they're probably going to come
Speaker 2: out on the winning end. Tomorrow.
Speaker 3: I could see Louisville opening up as a and I
Speaker 3: haven't looked at the lines at all, but I could
Speaker 3: see them open.
Speaker 2: I just checked.
Speaker 3: It's not out yet, Okay, I could see it being
Speaker 3: probably a three or four point favorite for Louisville to start.
Speaker 2: Well, Kim Pom has it as a two point loss
Speaker 2: for Louisville. So again, maybe I'm not giving SMU enough respect.
Speaker 2: They are in the top forty now in the Ken Palm,
Speaker 2: but Louisville's you know, Louisl's in the top, in the
Speaker 2: top thirty. So SMU is ranked, right, No, no, they're
Speaker 2: not ranked. I think they're in the receiving votes. In fact,
Speaker 2: let me let me pull it up here, because Louisville
Speaker 2: ended up coming in at number twenty five, which I
Speaker 2: thought for sure they'd be ranked. Because Kelly U of
Speaker 2: l stat Guru on Twitter x you can follow him
Speaker 2: a real card game. He's great. He was tracking the
Speaker 2: amount of teams ahead of Louisville that lost this weekend,
Speaker 2: and there were a lot of them. In fact, twenty
Speaker 2: two teams ahead of Louisville and last week's ap pole
Speaker 2: regarding the you know where they were in the votes
Speaker 2: and of course ranked, they all lost. That many teams lost.
Speaker 2: So but then again, even with all that movement, it
Speaker 2: still wasn't going to be like a sure thing, but
Speaker 2: sure enough they did come in right at number twenty
Speaker 2: five and SMU again not ranked, but they are. They're
Speaker 2: receiving actually they're not receiving Yeah, well no, they're not
Speaker 2: receiving any votes. So again, maybe I am justified and
Speaker 2: just not really thinking that they're going to be much
Speaker 2: of a threat. Now again, I think this is this
Speaker 2: is because if Louisville's the team that we think they are,
Speaker 2: and I don't mean like the three eleaked, but like Louisville,
Speaker 2: if Louisville's run is, you know, is what I believe
Speaker 2: it is. You know, I feel like SMU, you know,
Speaker 2: is looking at this. I don't I don't want to
Speaker 2: act like where they's Super Bowl because it's not that.
Speaker 2: But everybody knows what the acc is, right. There's not
Speaker 2: a whole lot of opportunities for good wins. But Louisville
Speaker 2: is in a position where of the few teams that
Speaker 2: there is value if you beat them, it's Louisville and SMU. Again,
Speaker 2: their resume is kind of tricky. They don't have any
Speaker 2: win we're speaking of. Their best win is against LSU,
Speaker 2: who's one of the worst teams in the ACC. I'm
Speaker 2: sorry the SEC and their losses. You know, one of
Speaker 2: them's not good, Butler's a bad team in the Big East.
Speaker 2: They lost to them, but the other losses are to
Speaker 2: Mississippi State, Duke and Carolina. So I would imagine this
Speaker 2: is a big game for SMU, and you know, it's
Speaker 2: kind of nice to know that there's gonna be some
Speaker 2: emphasis on beating Louisville because the last couple of years
Speaker 2: it's just what everybody expected to do. It was you know,
Speaker 2: you'd find a team that came in here from you know,
Speaker 2: Division three maybe and they'd be able to, like in
Speaker 2: their mind think, well, man, if there was ever a
Speaker 2: team that, like, you know, was at national brand, that
Speaker 2: the timing's on our side to get them. You know,
Speaker 2: that's where we were. But we're not there anymore, and
Speaker 2: it's been a lot of fun. I just want to
Speaker 2: talk on the other side about the Kentucky loss, because
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I've got this team figured out
Speaker 2: to a t. They're pretty easy to figure out. That's
Speaker 2: not an insult, but I think you know, that was
Speaker 2: just the first time on Saturday where you you played
Speaker 2: a team that did exactly what you wanted to do,
Speaker 2: and you all both played really really well. They just
Speaker 2: played a little bit better, and that's what happened. Our
Speaker 2: quick break keep a lock right here on Sports Talk seven.
Speaker 1: Ninety Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's
Speaker 1: on Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 2: We'll go back into the NFL playoffs coming up here
Speaker 2: in just a moment, But I do wanted to talk
Speaker 2: quickly about this Kentucky Alabama game from over the weekend.
Speaker 2: A I mean, a really really good game overall. I
Speaker 2: mean I had it on kind of in the background,
Speaker 2: keeping up with it. Obviously, it was the same time
Speaker 2: as the Louisville game, and then I didn't see the
Speaker 2: end of it. I had to leave and go to
Speaker 2: my son's game. But I went back and watched the
Speaker 2: second half today just because it's it's one of those
Speaker 2: games that you you know, you kind of wonder, how
Speaker 2: did how did Kentucky you know, lose? Now, clearly both
Speaker 2: teams played well, and you know when that happens, you know,
Speaker 2: whoever makes the big plays late in a close game.
Speaker 2: You know that that's how that's how this works. We
Speaker 2: know that. But somebody on the text line mentioned it
Speaker 2: and I and I thought to myself, you know what,
Speaker 2: maybe they're right. And sure enough, you look at the
Speaker 2: box score, I mean Kentucky was I mean, look, Kentucky
Speaker 2: shot better from the field. They were forty forty eight percent.
Speaker 2: Alabama was forty five percent. Kentucky made two less three pointers,
Speaker 2: but they also shot a better percentage. They were forty percent.
Speaker 2: Alabama was thirty eight percent. Free throws. I mean, Kentucky
Speaker 2: shot eighty percent from the line, and clearly, you know
Speaker 2: that was a difference maker. You lost the game by five,
Speaker 2: and but you know Bama shot more free throws and
Speaker 2: they shot it slightly better, so you did. You did
Speaker 2: get out rebounded, but just by just by a few.
Speaker 2: So you know, that was the perfect example of the
Speaker 2: game for Kentucky that was possible, but it just hadn't
Speaker 2: happened yet, right like they had they they they've come
Speaker 2: out on the winning end every time until then when
Speaker 2: it comes to teams that want to do exactly what
Speaker 2: they want to do, and it's just going to come
Speaker 2: down to who can do it better. And both teams
Speaker 2: probably feel really good about where they where they are,
Speaker 2: but when you play, I mean, that was just a
Speaker 2: really good matchup, and that's why you got a really
Speaker 2: good basketball game. So I mean, Kentucky's going to go
Speaker 2: to Tuscaloosa and play them at their place, coming up
Speaker 2: here before too long, and you know, if the game
Speaker 2: is played the same way, maybe Kentucky ends up being
Speaker 2: the one that just had enough to get the edge there.
Speaker 2: So I mean, if you are Kentucky, I would imagine
Speaker 2: you know, you STI feel pretty good about your team,
Speaker 2: knowing that they could probably beat anybody on any given night,
Speaker 2: and you know what what what style of play can
Speaker 2: make you vulnerable. But you also at this point I
Speaker 2: feel like have seen some progress to where, yeah, you
Speaker 2: don't want to get in those grinded out, slower games,
Speaker 2: but you have gotten better in those. You know, in
Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks, it seems right the win
Speaker 2: against A and M, the win agains Mississippi State, that
Speaker 2: was a nice that was a nice response from them,
Speaker 2: So you know it just I just cannot wait to
Speaker 2: see how the committee is going to seed the SEC,
Speaker 2: because you can Kentucky right now is fourteen and four
Speaker 2: and the rest of the way, I mean they're expected
Speaker 2: to go twenty one to ten and ten and eight,
Speaker 2: So like, usually that wouldn't be a record that would
Speaker 2: get you a really really good seed, but it probably will,
Speaker 2: and it's probably deserving. I mean, maybe they go on
Speaker 2: a roll and start beating everybody. I mean, look, they're
Speaker 2: off to a good start, but they still have to
Speaker 2: I mean, they're at Tennessee on the twenty eighth. Then
Speaker 2: of course there's that Arkansas game, which is, you know,
Speaker 2: a tricky one, shouldn't be but I get it. And
Speaker 2: then they play at Ole Miss, who's in the top twenty.
Speaker 2: Then they got to play Tennessee again. They're gonna play
Speaker 2: at Texas again, They're at Alabama in late February. So
Speaker 2: you know they're going to stack up some more losses
Speaker 2: along the way. I mean, I would expect, But it
Speaker 2: doesn't mean they're not really good. It's just because they're
Speaker 2: playing in such a great league. And I mean, I
Speaker 2: think you're going to see some teams in the SEC
Speaker 2: this year that have records that you know, aren't impressive
Speaker 2: in the grand scheme of things, and you know, they're
Speaker 2: probably middle of a pack in their league. But I
Speaker 2: don't think it's crazy to think that that's still uh,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't think it's crazy to think that
Speaker 2: they should still be given a really good seed because
Speaker 2: they were dominant in the non conference. And look, I
Speaker 2: wish their league wasn't great, but I watched basketball enough
Speaker 2: and I'll be honest, their leagu's loaded. Like these teams
Speaker 2: that are that are middle of the pack in that
Speaker 2: league there, I think they're really good. I think they'd
Speaker 2: be maybe some of the better teams than other leagues.
Speaker 2: I mean, I really do believe that. All right, let's
Speaker 2: go back from fall months five x two. I have
Speaker 2: seven one seventy nine the number if you want to
Speaker 2: give us a call, let's go to let's go to Mark, Mark,
Speaker 2: you're on sportstock seven ninety. How are you good? What's
Speaker 2: up from from Newark? I'm sorry, I'm from Delaware, Newark. Okay,
Speaker 2: I don't talk about the Eagles equals make it always
Speaker 2: too bold awesome. They might they might.
Speaker 4: Do that, I think, I mean, I think they can
Speaker 4: be the commanders.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they they They're probably gonna be favored. And thank
Speaker 2: you for the call. Mark. Yeah, the Eagles. I mean again,
Speaker 2: I never at any point thought they were never at
Speaker 2: any point thought they were not good. I understood that
Speaker 2: they were favorites. Against the hot Rams, but I was.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess what I'm realizing is their defense
Speaker 2: is pretty nasty and you know, hurts. I think has
Speaker 2: maybe taken a step back in the last couple of
Speaker 2: years slightly. Still a good quarterback, but you know, he's
Speaker 2: not been great. But you know who has been. I mean,
Speaker 2: are you kidding me? With Sequon Barkley, that guy that's
Speaker 2: I mean, that's one of the big I mean again,
Speaker 2: it sounds like I'm exaggerating, and maybe I am getting
Speaker 2: caught up in the recency of it, but like he's
Speaker 2: gone from a guy that I mean, not only is
Speaker 2: it insane, it in every aspect. Think about the notion
Speaker 2: that we've had about running backs in the last I
Speaker 2: don't know decade as far like if you got anything substantial,
Speaker 2: if you got like twenty five percent out of Sequon
Speaker 2: Barkley that you're getting right now, like twenty five percent
Speaker 2: of how great he's been. I think even then the
Speaker 2: Eagles would feel like it was a worthy move to
Speaker 2: get in because he's still got some juice left. Now, dude,
Speaker 2: he's playing like the best running back the NFL has
Speaker 2: seen in a long long time. I mean, four rushing
Speaker 2: touchdowns and yeh this this is from opt to Stats.
Speaker 2: It says Sawan Barkley is the first player in NFL
Speaker 2: history with four rushing touchdowns of sixty plus yards against
Speaker 2: a single opponent in his entire career. All four of
Speaker 2: the tds came in two games versus the Rams this season.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's one of many crazy stats about just
Speaker 2: how insanely productive he has been. And I mean he's
Speaker 2: he is in my opinion, like he's what makes them
Speaker 2: as good as they are. They're good in a lot
Speaker 2: of aspects. They're pretty solid. There's a reason they won
Speaker 2: a lot of games this year. So you know, I'm
Speaker 2: not an Eagles fan by any means, but I just,
Speaker 2: you know, they kind of were quietly having a great
Speaker 2: season at least in my opinion, and seeing Sequan do
Speaker 2: his thing on Saturday and just realizing they're pretty loaded
Speaker 2: on defense, you know, it's impressive. And I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna be pulling for the Commanders just because I really
Speaker 2: like their story, but won't be shocked at all if
Speaker 2: if the Eagles punched their ticket to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: I mean, they've got that kind of a team, and
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe I kind of feel like a
Speaker 2: bandwagon guy because I don't have any real reason. But
Speaker 2: like I kind of like the Sequon Barkley story here.
Speaker 2: I don't find anything else about the Eagles likable in
Speaker 2: any way. No offense to Eagles fans that just you know,
Speaker 2: he's never been, never been a fan. I have some friends,
Speaker 2: this whole family is I have some friends that are fans,
Speaker 2: and you know, I get it, but like it's just,
Speaker 2: you know, I usually find myself kind of not pulling
Speaker 2: for them. I don't think I'm alone there, but Barkley
Speaker 2: has been really easy to root for because I feel
Speaker 2: like he is he could have been a little petty
Speaker 2: and you know, kind of rubbed it in New York's face,
Speaker 2: but like he's been the bigger dude about it, and
Speaker 2: it's not like they you know, they did let him walk,
Speaker 2: which of course was something that now I would imagine
Speaker 2: that they regret, But like he seems like a pretty
Speaker 2: good dude. And I kind of just assumed that he
Speaker 2: was going to be one of those guys that was
Speaker 2: drafted really high. Everybody knew it was a physical specimen.
Speaker 2: Everybody knew that he had a lot of talent, but
Speaker 2: you know, injuries got to him and by the time
Speaker 2: he got healthy, he was too old, because that's just
Speaker 2: where running backs are, Like, I kind of thought that
Speaker 2: was how things were going to play out for him,
Speaker 2: And now he's having again. It feels like, I don't
Speaker 2: know if the numbers back this up, but it feels
Speaker 2: like he's had one of the best seasons any running
Speaker 2: back has had in a long long time.
Speaker 3: He's finally fully healthy.
Speaker 2: He's never been fully healthy in a season. And what
Speaker 2: made him such a fenom like you're seeing every aspect
Speaker 2: of it right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it made him such a high drafts prospect
Speaker 3: was of course all the intangibles, everything that he's obviously
Speaker 3: can do as a runner. And he made the playoffs
Speaker 3: and want a playoff game, but that offense was kind
Speaker 3: of souped up by with Brian Dable and Daniel Jones.
Speaker 3: They did the best that they could. But now he's
Speaker 3: in a much better situation, probably better coaching, better organization,
Speaker 3: and they got one a hell of an offensive line.
Speaker 3: Our guy Mackai Becton is there. They kind of just
Speaker 3: revitalized his whole career in Philadelphia and he's like he's
Speaker 3: a bust of a human being, just moving and they've
Speaker 3: got I think they're Beckden. There's a local connection obviously
Speaker 3: because of Louisill like you mentioned, but like Beckden and
Speaker 3: Barkley obviouslyferent levels. They are good examples of guys that
Speaker 3: always had the talent. I mean, Beckton was kind of
Speaker 3: viewed as a bust a guy that maybe wasn't mature
Speaker 3: enough when he first got to the league.
Speaker 2: Barkley, that wasn't the case at all. It is just
Speaker 2: injuries and at times, like you know, I don't even
Speaker 2: think that the Giants knew how to utilize him, to
Speaker 2: be honest with you, But now they go to a
Speaker 2: place with a winning culture like meaning that they like everybody.
Speaker 2: The overall vibe inside the organization with the Eagles for
Speaker 2: quite some time now has been a very very successful,
Speaker 2: winning culture, and they latched onto that. You know, they
Speaker 2: they brought it and clearly they're they're they're thriving and
Speaker 2: that matters. Right Like you, you can be held back
Speaker 2: as far as not only what you're I mean, obviously
Speaker 2: you can't do everything by yourself, but like you, even
Speaker 2: as a player like you, your ceiling is lower in
Speaker 2: every aspect when you're a part of a lousy franchise.
Speaker 2: You can still get paid a lot of money and
Speaker 2: maybe they'll maybe they'll be suckers and give you more
Speaker 2: money than you than you are worth. But I mean,
Speaker 2: there's it matters, man, It matters what kind of environment
Speaker 2: you're in. And I think Barkley again, I don't want
Speaker 2: to blame the Giants, but like, clearly this guy's gone
Speaker 2: through injuries. He's older now, but he's he's being utilized
Speaker 2: now and he's playing and more. He's more productive than
Speaker 2: he's ever been, it seems. All let's go back to
Speaker 2: the fall months five way two. If I'm seven to one,
Speaker 2: seventy nine hundred is the number. Let's go to Joe. Joe,
Speaker 2: you're on Sports Talk seven ninety. What's up?
Speaker 4: Hey, really enjoy your show. I'm glad you take calls.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Uh been been at this for a long
Speaker 4: time in between sales calls. And I'm also I'm glad
Speaker 4: that you throwing a little UK. I really appreciate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no problem.
Speaker 4: Hey about the first about Louis of wait game winning streaker,
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what I think. The game of rep
Speaker 4: Aarena kind of made their season because they never gave
Speaker 4: up and they play like that, and they played Kentucky,
Speaker 4: you know, very very tough.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it felt like they earned so their respect
Speaker 2: from everybody in that one because you know, Kentucky played
Speaker 2: well and Louisville played well. Clearly Kentucky's a better team
Speaker 2: this year. I don't think that would be different even
Speaker 2: if Louisville was healthy. But clearly it was a competitive game,
Speaker 2: and you know, I was hopeful that they'd be able
Speaker 2: to take some some positives despite those losses. And here
Speaker 2: they are again. The competition not quite as tough, but
Speaker 2: not many teams are as tough when it comes to
Speaker 2: Kentucky at Reparena. So I'm with you. I think that
Speaker 2: was kind of a big moment for him, even though
Speaker 2: it was a loss.
Speaker 4: Big moment. I think they should a lot of Kentucky
Speaker 4: fans walked away saying, hey, little litt Will played great game.
Speaker 4: They're back. But the other thing, a couple of things, Uh,
Speaker 4: don't don't sleep on the commanders. Man at this quarterback,
Speaker 4: they've got special you Daniel, He's he's really really, really good,
Speaker 4: and they played great offense. He's got a great coach man.
Speaker 4: This guy's he's kind of like Dan Campbell, he's doing
Speaker 4: at your throat. Uh they can beat Philadelphia at Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they can't too, And I'm gonna be
Speaker 2: pulling for him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, me too, Me too, Ray Davis, Ray, Ray Davis.
Speaker 4: You remember him?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I remember him all too well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's tough man. He's a tough kid. You know,
Speaker 4: he got homeless kid, lived in a car. Great story, yep,
Speaker 4: and uh, you know you gotta beat for guys like him.
Speaker 4: But anyway, I really enjoyed your show. Thank you for
Speaker 4: taking calls instead of just text messages and all the
Speaker 4: other craft. You know, it's good to you. Got a
Speaker 4: lot of fans.
Speaker 2: Out here like this. Sure, I appreciate you, Joe, thanks
Speaker 2: for calling in. Appreciate you listening. Shate the con words, yeah,
Speaker 2: Ray Davis. I mean he's a good example of a
Speaker 2: guy that didn't you know, running backs. Now you could
Speaker 2: be you could be one of the best running backs
Speaker 2: in the draft and just go lower than you than
Speaker 2: you used to just because the position has changed. But
Speaker 2: he goes into a winning culture and he's he's he's right,
Speaker 2: I mean, he's in his prom I would feel like
Speaker 2: as far as you know, Age range and and what
Speaker 2: he can do. He was successful everywhere he played, including
Speaker 2: at Kentucky. So yeah, I mean he's he's a guy
Speaker 2: that that really I think that's best case scenario for
Speaker 2: a lot of rookie running backs. Right, you end up
Speaker 2: and what I mean by that is that you get up,
Speaker 2: you end up getting drafted. And because just how most
Speaker 2: franchises now handle that position, you're a you're a light
Speaker 2: injury away from being given first you know, first string
Speaker 2: carries as a rookie who might have been undrafted. Again,
Speaker 2: that's just not unheard of anymore. But if that's the case,
Speaker 2: it's nice to be able to do that for a
Speaker 2: franchise that you know, you got a lot of good
Speaker 2: pieces around you to where look if the line's doing
Speaker 2: their parts, you know, you just be ready to be
Speaker 2: called upon and and and get to work. And he's
Speaker 2: clearly been. He's been successful for him. So look, the
Speaker 2: Bills team, like, I find them to be really likable,
Speaker 2: and yet last night it was just you know, the
Speaker 2: raw emotion got the best of me because I don't
Speaker 2: like the Ravens. Therefore, whenever they lose, I mean I
Speaker 2: just feel bad for Lamar and last night look, he
Speaker 2: was a factor in why they struggled. I mean, he
Speaker 2: did not have a good first half. Those turnovers were
Speaker 2: disastrous and ended up not costing him a whole lot
Speaker 2: of points in the grand scheme of things. But still,
Speaker 2: you know, it was a collective issue last night where
Speaker 2: they just weren't the same team that they had been
Speaker 2: all year. And you know, I've had some pushback on
Speaker 2: the text line for people saying, well, hey, you know,
Speaker 2: they also did play a really good Buffalo team at Buffalo,
Speaker 2: and you're right, but I also, you know, don't think
Speaker 2: that I'm out of line and saying, hey, the Ravens,
Speaker 2: the team that you watched put together a really good
Speaker 2: regular season. They had a lot of things going on
Speaker 2: that really were not a part of their DNA in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five, Right, Like Mark Andrews,
Speaker 2: not just the drop in the end zone and the
Speaker 2: two point conversion, but you know, he had another drop,
Speaker 2: He had a fumble after he caught it, Like that's
Speaker 2: not something you usually see this team do. Lamar's turnovers
Speaker 2: were characteristic, I mean both of them. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: happened before, but like, you know, if he did that,
Speaker 2: you know pretty often he wouldn't be winning his third MVP.
Speaker 2: So you know, I just I hated it. I hated
Speaker 2: it in every aspect, and I took it out on
Speaker 2: the Bills, But overall I love their fan base, like
Speaker 2: they're fun as hell. And you know, you can't call
Speaker 2: many Bills fans bandwagon fans. I'm sure there's some out there,
Speaker 2: but I know a lot of fans have been with
Speaker 2: them for mostly bad times, especially if here's somebody like
Speaker 2: my age. But they're rolling and uh yeah, I mean again,
Speaker 2: I don't really have a whole lot of rooting interest
Speaker 2: the rest of the way anybody at Kansas City, I suppose.
Speaker 2: But so we should get some good games here. Our
Speaker 2: quick break will come back on the other side. Keep
Speaker 2: it rolling along. It is Coffee and Company fuel by
Speaker 2: Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 1: Now back to Coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 2: I have a funny story about this song, actually, I think, right,
Speaker 2: I think it's funny, so maybe it'll be one of
Speaker 2: the many things that I still find that I say
Speaker 2: hoping you know that you all think it's funny, because
Speaker 2: you know, that's the job here is to try to
Speaker 2: keep you entertained and keep you listening. But at a
Speaker 2: buddy who right around the time we had graduated high school,
Speaker 2: It wasn't right after high school, but like it was
Speaker 2: shortly after, like a couple of years after, within that timeframe,
Speaker 2: and he was still dating a girl that we that
Speaker 2: we well actually she didn't go to school with us,
Speaker 2: but he was dating her while we were in school,
Speaker 2: and you know, he kind of, you know, he's in college,
Speaker 2: he kind of wanted to kind of you know, do
Speaker 2: his own thing and just didn't want to be tied down.
Speaker 2: And they later got back together and they're now married.
Speaker 2: But at the time, you know, he didn't dislike her.
Speaker 2: He liked her a lot, and there was nothing like
Speaker 2: he could say that was bad about the relationship. He
Speaker 2: kind of just didn't want to be in a relationship,
Speaker 2: which can be you know, kind of hard to just
Speaker 2: say that. I mean, I'm sure it's happened many times,
Speaker 2: but like, you know, you don't have a reason, but
Speaker 2: you just don't want to be together. I would imagine
Speaker 2: in most instances, the person being broken up with wants
Speaker 2: to know, like, wait a second, there's got to be something.
Speaker 2: This makes no sense. We've been together for a long time,
Speaker 2: things are going great. Why would why like what what changed?
Speaker 2: What happened? What I do tell me more, I can't
Speaker 2: believe this. And that's that's how she was. And he
Speaker 2: didn't have anything. And he he told us like after
Speaker 2: the fact, because we were like, dude, like we're telling
Speaker 2: him not to like we knew he's gonna regret it.
Speaker 2: And again it all worked out. But when he told
Speaker 2: us like after the fact, uh, you know what he's
Speaker 2: what he what he told her was he said love
Speaker 2: love wasn't always on time and it just wasn't their timing.
Speaker 2: And he didn't know that this was a song. I
Speaker 2: mean like yeah, and we didn't believe him, and you know,
Speaker 2: at this point, I feel like there'd be no there's
Speaker 2: no benefit in lying. But like we laughed like that's
Speaker 2: the that's so corny, and and and he was like, well,
Speaker 2: I didn't know what else to say. And then like
Speaker 2: we later realized he didn't understand we were laughing because
Speaker 2: he took some song from like he took some line
Speaker 2: from a famous song. So you know, again I'm I'm
Speaker 2: thinking to myself, like and now that I'm now that
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about it, like I don't know that's that
Speaker 2: that song came out when I'm gonna look it up.
Speaker 3: Now, you gotta be in the eighties. This is around
Speaker 3: like the Journey time. I probably have to say, like
Speaker 3: eighty seven, eighty eight, Manu, it's Hold the Line by Toto.
Speaker 2: And it came out, Is this right? So it's the
Speaker 2: title of the song. It's called hold the Line. Yeah,
Speaker 2: hold the Line. It came out in nineteen seventy eight,
Speaker 2: so I mean, okay, it came out when my parents
Speaker 2: were in high school. But it's such a it's a
Speaker 2: song that you've just heard so often in movies and
Speaker 2: like you know, I don't know where it ranks all
Speaker 2: time and like music that has been played. But it's
Speaker 2: also not a surprise that even though it came out
Speaker 2: many many many years before I was born, like even
Speaker 2: as a twenty year old, like I knew, like when
Speaker 2: I when somebody said love isn't always on time, I'm
Speaker 2: thinking of this song. But he claimed that he had
Speaker 2: no clue, and like you know, he said, Haiti, had
Speaker 2: he known that it was like gonna be made fun
Speaker 2: of by everybody, because like he just stole the line
Speaker 2: thinking that nobody would notice, then he probably wouldn't have
Speaker 2: done it.
Speaker 3: But imagine her just going and telling her parents like, well,
Speaker 3: what did he say?
Speaker 2: What's what happened?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: What's crazy, though, is that if it wasn't a song
Speaker 2: like it actually is a good line, it's like great,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Look like for his situation,
Speaker 2: I mean I kind of give a lot of credit
Speaker 2: because I'm giving I'm giving him the benefit of the
Speaker 2: doubt that he didn't know that he stole it.
Speaker 3: He did, it's not in the way that her love
Speaker 3: set him free. Yeah, love isn't always on time.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, like if you just you know, if you
Speaker 2: just feel like everything's great, but something's telling you, like
Speaker 2: the timing is it now? I mean, love isn't always
Speaker 2: on time, Like it's actually very much. Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 2: a bar. It's just you know, he stole it and
Speaker 2: didn't realize it. So I think when you steal something
Speaker 2: without knowing it, I mean, you still can't do it.
Speaker 2: But if you don't know, it clearly removes the intent
Speaker 2: that you were like robbing somebody. You know, you had
Speaker 2: no clue. So anytime I hear that song, I now
Speaker 2: think of my buddy who again it all worked out,
Speaker 2: but they, you know they, I think somebody requested that
Speaker 2: be played at their wedding and you know, they didn't
Speaker 2: let it be played. I think it might be a
Speaker 2: sore subject, especially you know on your wedding.
Speaker 3: Lie story though, Yeah, that that band also sings uh
Speaker 3: I bless the Reins.
Speaker 2: Down, which is just also like the a lot going
Speaker 2: on in that song, A lot, like just kind of
Speaker 2: I don't really know what it is, but I know
Speaker 2: I love it. I know I feel good when it's on,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like it's just kind of
Speaker 2: that kind of that vibe, so so good stuff. Life
Speaker 2: isn't always on time, it's right. So do you find
Speaker 2: yourself not necessarily like really just exploring music from different eras.
Speaker 2: But I think for the last ten years or so
Speaker 2: of my life, I've really, like each year, realized that
Speaker 2: there's a lot of music that came out long before
Speaker 2: I was born that like I really I gravitate to,
Speaker 2: Like it'sh yeah, you know, it's not like I have
Speaker 2: nostalgia because again it wasn't my era, but like, I
Speaker 2: don't know, this is I feel like an old man
Speaker 2: because I'm thinking back then I wasn't there to experience it,
Speaker 2: but I feel like, man, there was a lot more
Speaker 2: artistry in what people were doing, and I can really
Speaker 2: dig that. It's not like a hippie well.
Speaker 3: I mean, my whole vibe has been nothing but like
Speaker 3: Grand Theft, Auto songs, like Vice City. We had the eighties,
Speaker 3: like Miami type of music going. This one was actually
Speaker 3: on San Andreas, but like that's where a lot of
Speaker 3: my music palette came from growing up was video games.
Speaker 3: The old SmackDown versus were all for, like my hard
Speaker 3: rock and indie rock stuff. Tony Hawk's pro Skater we
Speaker 3: talked about that for some of that emo edgy music
Speaker 3: and then grant that thought. It just always had a
Speaker 3: banger of a playlist. So I would always remember sitting
Speaker 3: down with my dad playing this and him singing the
Speaker 3: song too. I'm like, well, if dad likes this, and
Speaker 3: I'd like this. This is back from when he was
Speaker 3: growing up. So I learned a lot through old video
Speaker 3: games and stuff like that, and obviously loving some of
Speaker 3: the older mother dad Kirk. I got two dads, two dads,
Speaker 3: and my other dad, Kirk was a karaoke monster back
Speaker 3: in the day, and he knows all these songs. He
Speaker 3: knows about like all the bands. So just kind of
Speaker 3: sitting down, you gravitate mood.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gravitate to it as well because you want
Speaker 2: to be into what you know the people you look
Speaker 2: up to are into and if you're exposed to it
Speaker 2: more so because of that, it kind of grows on you.
Speaker 2: That's why, like I became a real nerd for nineties
Speaker 2: country because that was like when I first discovered music
Speaker 2: and like knew, like, hey, I hope the radio station
Speaker 2: plays the song that I like when I'm in my
Speaker 2: mom's car. Like that was when we were bootscooting and
Speaker 2: boog in with Brooks and Dune. So like that that
Speaker 2: era kind of stuck with me.
Speaker 3: But man, they were popping in the old cassette was
Speaker 3: to record them off the radio.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah. But like you know, Jim Crochey is somebody
Speaker 2: that I really I really like, and you know, this
Speaker 2: guy died in nineteen seventy three, but like I'm hearing,
Speaker 2: you know, you don't mess around with Jim Operator. I
Speaker 2: mean bad bad Leroy Brown. I got a name time
Speaker 2: and a bottle, Like I hear Jim Krosche. I'm like,
Speaker 2: this guy is awesome. So I don't know, I doubt that,
Speaker 2: you know, if you if you did a study on
Speaker 2: people who are listening to that kind of stuff, like
Speaker 2: you know, James Taylor, Fire and Rain, like, I would
Speaker 2: imagine if you pulled data, which you can, I don't
Speaker 2: doubt anybody will. But if you pull data to see
Speaker 2: what demo, what age range is listening to that the most,
Speaker 2: I would imagine I'm in the minority. I would imagine
Speaker 2: it's not people necessarily in my age range, but you know,
Speaker 2: people you know, you like what you like. Everybody's got
Speaker 2: their own preferences. But I feel like there's not rare
Speaker 2: There's rarely something really new that I'm really into, And
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm sure I'm not a hater. It's
Speaker 2: just nothing really that's new in music this day and
Speaker 2: age really of any genre kind of hooks me. So
Speaker 2: there's stuff that's fifty sixty years old, but it's new
Speaker 2: to me. So like that's kind of where I'm getting
Speaker 2: My interest in music is just kind of you know,
Speaker 2: going back the time.
Speaker 3: Like hyper fixated on one song, start listening to that
Speaker 3: the only song you listen to that week
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, all right, we got an hour left, so
Speaker 2: stick around five o'clock hour, coming up right here on
Speaker 2: a sports Talk seven ninety
