The kids are playing 5 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.559 or turn off. The countries are screwing it up. 6 00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.879 Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother, gold Play Inn Murals. 7 00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.000 They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not. 8 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:27.879 Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you 9 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:37.920 kidding me? Now? Here's Nick Coffee? 10 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:45.840 All right? Are we ready to do this or not? 11 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.719 It's a Friday afternoon, folks, best day of the week. 12 00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.479 Getting the weekend started here, I mean technically for us, 13 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:54.359 we are still working. We're on the clock. When I 14 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.039 say we, it's because it's not just me. I am 15 00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:58.960 Nick Coffee. I hope you knew that. If not, now 16 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.200 you do the company man to John all on alongside 17 00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.000 today as mentioned, getting you set for the weekend, taking 18 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.359 you up until six o'clock. So hang out, make yourself 19 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.400 at home, get comfortable. It was real gloomy when I 20 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.319 was walking in here, but I've learned, you know, don't 21 00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.400 just expect that to be the conditions outside when we 22 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.920 leave here in three hours, John, because you never know, 23 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:19.439 I mean. 24 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.719 It changes all the time. In this cave and the 25 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.640 two caves that we're in. We have no idea what 26 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:25.879 may be going on with the weather outside. 27 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.560 No idea at all. Have you seen some of the 28 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.879 It's happened many times over the years, but I think 29 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.400 it might have been recently. In the last week or 30 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.560 so at ESPN, there was a earthquake that took place 31 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.599 like while people were live on air. Have you seen that. 32 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:41.280 I haven't. 33 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.439 So for the most part, it usually is not even 34 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.079 something that like maybe even the audience would notice because 35 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.400 things aren't falling over, you know, it's just people who 36 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.400 were sitting there. I've never I mean I've never heard. 37 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.519 I mean, I've never been somewhere where an earthquake took place. 38 00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.599 Obviously they don't happen very often around here, and I've 39 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.879 never been to California. But you know, I would imagine 40 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.519 it's probably just like a millisecond or maybe a little 41 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.039 longer of like wait a second, am I am I drunk, 42 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.400 I'm about to fall over or something like that, and 43 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.199 then it stops. So, uh, I think it might have 44 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.439 been leak Andrews fre ESPN, who was the live host 45 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:19.360 at the time when it happened, and it kind of 46 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:21.719 went many viral. Wasn't anything crazy, but it's just not 47 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:23.879 often you see somebody live on television and you realize 48 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.520 they're kind of pretty, they're a little they're a little 49 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.680 distracted because they realized there is a earthquake going on. 50 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.039 But it got me thinking, you know, in this building, 51 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:34.680 I mean, would we know if any I mean I 52 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.520 would imagine an earthquake, we'd feel it. 53 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.479 Yeah, But honestly, I don't really like it where we're at. Oh, 54 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:40.599 earthquake was. 55 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.240 Here, and we've had a couple of days where we're like, 56 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.759 is everything okay? And then you know, you're you're here 57 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.240 in these caves and we look at social media and 58 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.400 we hear during you know, the commercial breaks with our 59 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.120 weather reports about like crazy conditions, and I'm like, well, 60 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.560 you know what I'm We're in like a very tall building. 61 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.719 I mean, you would think the ructure of something like 62 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:03.599 this would be uh, you know, not something that would 63 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.879 fall over. But I don't know. You never know, But 64 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:10.240 I would not like to test myself as far as 65 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.639 how I would react live on air broadcasting while there's 66 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.000 like severe weather going on, meaning like if we ever 67 00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:21.240 got an earthquake here and we started rocking a little bit, 68 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.639 I would, you know, if I didn't turn my microphone 69 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.199 off in time, I would probably squeal and yell and 70 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.680 just embarrass myself. I'd be a big scaredy cat. 71 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.800 When you jumped out of the elevator, Oh yeah, life 72 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:32.039 in it. 73 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:36.080 Yeah, it'd be like, you know, all of a sudden 74 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.439 in fifteen twenty seconds, I would I would like, you know, 75 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.479 snap out of it, and I'd realize, oh, wow, you've 76 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.319 ran a block away. You've abandoned all your you know, 77 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.759 if you've abandoned all your men, your your coworkers, your team. 78 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.680 Because I was scared. For those who don't know that story, 79 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:51.919 I'll never live it down, and I shouldn't. It's embarrassing. 80 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.120 But I got stuck on an elevator in Mexico one time, 81 00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.080 and we had to like pry the door open just long, 82 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.360 just enough to get out and climb up and out 83 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.599 of the elevator because it was stuck, like it went 84 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:06.800 down but got stuck you know, midway you know, to 85 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.039 where that you know the opening is. And I was 86 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.400 I was full blown panic attack. It probably took me 87 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.560 fifteen twenty seconds to pry that door open, but it 88 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.360 felt like I was in there for two hours because 89 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.360 I'm already scared of elevators anyway, I'm claustrophobic. So I 90 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.199 pried the door open, climbed myself out, and just ran off, 91 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.480 and then realized, oh yeah, I should probably go back 92 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.000 and help my wife out, you know, not leave her 93 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.800 in there. But you know, you live and you learn, 94 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:33.720 and you know, what I learned from that is that 95 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.199 I'm not built for stuff like that. I'm not very tough. 96 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:40.160 But anyways, hopefully you guys are enjoying your Friday. I've 97 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.680 already got some fomo. I'm seeing people posting their pictures 98 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.040 at the state Fair. I'm a big state fair guy. 99 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.439 I'm going tomorrow. John gonna take the kids. 100 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:50.600 Oh yeah, you excited? 101 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.680 Oh yeah, Moose is fired up. He likes to see 102 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:57.240 the animals. Ma Maya, she is excited for the rides, 103 00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.480 and she's going to put away some fair food. I'm 104 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.120 sure she. I mean, that girl can eat. I mean 105 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.000 she and she ain't bashful, she ain't shy. You know, John, 106 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.480 if if if you're ever around and you're eating, don't 107 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.439 be surprised if my daughter walks up and you know, 108 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.160 asks if she can have some of your food. That's 109 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.839 oh yeah, she'll, she'll get she'll she'll put some food away. 110 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.600 In fact, whenever she was really young, kindergarten, I think 111 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.319 it was which gosh, that was so long ago. It's 112 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.600 sad to say because she's eight years old now, but 113 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.680 she would get breakfast in the morning with either her 114 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:32.839 mother or her her nana, her grandmother, in fact, her 115 00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.079 great grandmother. Another thing about it, because we didn't have 116 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.160 like any type of like plan for her to eat 117 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:39.639 at school, you know what I mean, Like we just 118 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:41.040 you know, we don't need to she doesn't need to 119 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.040 do breakfast. We'll just give her breakfast at home. Well, 120 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.079 little did we know that she'd been going through line 121 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.519 every day at breakfast, eating too breakfast. She'd eat at 122 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:49.959 home with us, and then she'd go to school and 123 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.120 eat and then they told us that the I think 124 00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.279 it might have been like during the Christmas break her 125 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.519 teacher was like, yeah, soud, you know, it's not a 126 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:57.959 big deal, but do you want to like set up 127 00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.920 a plan for like, you know, you can just put 128 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.720 money on the thing, because you know, she didn't qualify 129 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.639 to get to get free to free food, so you know, 130 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.839 we have to pay like most people. And we felt 131 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.279 terrible because she'd just been stealing food from the school 132 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.639 system for half of the year, double dip and eating 133 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.160 breakfast at home, eating breakfast at school. I mean it's 134 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.720 it's actually pretty savvy move, to be honest with you. 135 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:22.120 But anyways, looking forward to the weekend, it will be 136 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.319 our last weekend folks without college football. 137 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.600 I am so excited. I mean, we're finally talk about 138 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.040 being bricked up. We're finally at the tail end of 139 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:33.240 talking season as well. 140 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.720 Yeah, I mean like I kind of feel like given 141 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:37.800 the fact that we're eight days away from a game, 142 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.439 I mean, isn't talking season kind of over right? Like 143 00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.000 we still got to wait eight days to get the action. 144 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.000 But we can talk about games and not feel as 145 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.279 if they're two months away, right, I Mean, I told 146 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.680 you guys a couple of weeks ago. When it comes 147 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.199 to week zero, folks, the dogs are barking, baby, I 148 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.519 got a two leg parlay with the dogs. That's right. 149 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.279 George's plus eleven and a half. I just I mean, 150 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:08.120 Florida State good team, will be good, deserving to be 151 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:12.120 the preseason favorite to win the ACC They are loaded 152 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:16.519 with talent. But if you guys, and I shouldn't say 153 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.519 like I'm talking about somebody specifically out there, I guess 154 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:23.199 I just mean, like, if Jordan Travis was so important 155 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.519 to what made Florida State great, which he was, like 156 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.319 I'm not, I don't think that's debatable, but man, did 157 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:33.600 that has any college players value ever been kind of 158 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:37.480 out of nowhere? Looked to be unbelievably high whenever him 159 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.160 getting hurt just simply meant that nobody felt like Florida 160 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.560 State needed to be even in the conversation for the 161 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.240 college football Playoff. Now again, I'm sure people to this 162 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.120 day still think it was a travesty to not put 163 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.560 them in there and they were screwed. But you know, 164 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.040 didn't that speak for like, man, without that guy, I mean, 165 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.800 come on, like you know, and by the way, without him, 166 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.759 they were terrible. I mean they beat Louisvill which was unfortunate, 167 00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.879 but like Louisville, you know, would it could have should 168 00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:02.439 have give him credit, but like, had Louisville been able 169 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:04.839 to do something offensively and maybe if a different quarterback 170 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.000 was out there, Louisville might have been able to win 171 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.480 that game. In fact, they easily could have won the game. 172 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:10.879 I don't know if they would have, but either way, 173 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.600 So like again, my point is this, if Jordan Travis 174 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.120 is that important and we now know he's gone, right, 175 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:19.000 he's in the NFL, you're telling me dj Egal Leiley 176 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:23.199 like that, that's the same thing. Like that guy stunk 177 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.560 at Clemson and at Oregon State. I gotta be honest 178 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.680 with you. I don't feel like he was great and 179 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.519 there wasn't noise about him being you know, underwhelming because 180 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.799 he was at Oregon State where nobody watched him play. 181 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:38.440 So I'm buying Georgia Tech as being a middle of 182 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.679 the pack team in the ACC. And I happen to 183 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:44.600 think that Florida State will win and they are going 184 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.159 to be a good team. But I think for an opener, 185 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.840 when you've got a bunch of new players, you know, 186 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.120 Georgia Tech, they bring back a lot from last year. 187 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:55.080 They hit the portal like everybody else. Florida State similar situation. 188 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.080 They brought in some really good players in the portal 189 00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.440 and they have talent back. But I just feel like 190 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.840 big spread in Week one in this new era of 191 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:06.120 college football where there's so many moving part and moving pieces. 192 00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:08.840 Like I just feel like you got to keep that 193 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.440 in mind, right if a team, you know is maybe 194 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.440 twenty four points better, but the spread is you know, 195 00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:19.600 set it, you know twenty one. Like I just I 196 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:22.240 think teams will have big dogs, will have a better 197 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.720 chance of covering early on because even though they're outmatched 198 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.399 and they're not as good as their opponent. I just 199 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.159 think you're going to see these teams cruise potentially, but 200 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.759 also still be working through some things because again, so 201 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.519 many teams, in fact, just about every team when they 202 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:38.799 go out there for their first game this season is 203 00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:40.879 going to have a good chunk of the guys on 204 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.960 the field that, yeah, they've been practicing in fall camp, 205 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.519 maybe they arrived in January in the from the portal, 206 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.720 but it's still they're getting acclimated. So I think eleven 207 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:51.679 and a half is too much. And then the other 208 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:56.200 game that I'm all in on is Nevada plus twenty 209 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:59.200 seven and a half. I mean, look, SMU coming off 210 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.120 a pretty good season in last year in the American 211 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.240 one of the better teams in that league. Maybe they 212 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.480 do transition without much trouble here to the ACC, but 213 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.799 that's a lot of points, and I you know, my 214 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.360 most recent memory of SMU was when I bet on 215 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.200 them in their bowl game against Boston College and they 216 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:25.200 got they got smoked. Yeah, the Fenway Bowl, which lousvill 217 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:26.679 played in a couple of years ago. But yeah, I 218 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:28.559 mean twenty it was twenty three to fourteen. But I 219 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.360 remember sweating that out because I took SMU to cover 220 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.080 and they were like, I'm pretty sure they were not 221 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.960 huge favorites, but they were certainly favored by a touchdown 222 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:41.440 if my memory is correct, and sure enough they I 223 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.679 mean they I think they actually had a late score 224 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.519 to make that game not look as lopsided as it was. 225 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.600 And really, I guess lopsided is a stretch. We're talking 226 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:50.159 about a twenty three to fourteen game, but I feel 227 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:51.919 like there was a late score there. So again, that's 228 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:54.240 what I'm doing. So if you want to get in on, 229 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:59.080 you know, a week zero two leg parlay, the dogs 230 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:03.080 are barking plus twenty seven and a half Nevada and 231 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.200 plus eleven and a half Georgia Tech. Is that's the 232 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.679 first time we've really got into some sports wagering here, 233 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:10.080 really is. 234 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:11.960 We teased it a couple of weeks ago but I 235 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:13.799 think this is the first time where it seems like 236 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:15.600 the hype is kind of getting real. 237 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.799 Oh, I can't wait again. This is your last weekend, 238 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:21.120 folks without without college football, and that uh, and that 239 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:23.639 it's not just great because hey, from here on out, man, 240 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.240 we got a full slate of games every week, a 241 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.639 lot to bet on, and of course we're gonna follow 242 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.320 and see how the teams around here do locally. But 243 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.759 it's the it's when it really gets started for me. 244 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:37.440 And I'm only speaking from my personal perspective, which nobody 245 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:40.399 probably gives a damn about, but for me, once we 246 00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:52.039 get college football rolling, I mean it's September, October, November, December, January, February, March, 247 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.799 and a little bit of April. I mean that's an 248 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:59.240 eight month window, ladies and gentlemen, to where like anything 249 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:05.559 in my life that does give me stress, anxiety, sadness, whatever, 250 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.799 you know, like life, we all have life that we 251 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.279 deal with, and some go through harder things than others. 252 00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:13.000 And I would never paint myself as someone who's got 253 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.919 it rough, because you know, I'm very fortunate. But like 254 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:19.519 sports is such a distraction to like everything, Like I 255 00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.879 sports is my escape and I've been fortunate to where 256 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:25.360 I'm able to, you know, make a living where sports 257 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.480 is a huge part of it, because we talk sports 258 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:31.159 sometimes on this show, right, But like that eight I'm 259 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:33.720 in my comfort zone John, when we get we're when 260 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.559 we're in that eight month window, you know, like I, 261 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:38.080 it's just there's nothing better. 262 00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:39.879 And I love how you refer to it as kind 263 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:41.720 of the unofficial beginning of the years. 264 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.679 Yeah, and I'm telling you again, just me. From the 265 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.200 time I was a kid, I always looked at a 266 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.720 new year being when school starts. And usually when school starts, 267 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:56.360 what starts football season, and then you kind of roll 268 00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:57.799 along and then you get to spring and then you 269 00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:59.519 know there's no sports going on, but you only have, 270 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.639 you know, a month or two of school left. And 271 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:05.519 I don't want to sound like a degenerate gambler, although 272 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.120 I may be, because I mean it when I say it. 273 00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:10.879 I don't bet on sports to try to, you know, 274 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:12.919 have a second income. I do it for fun. Now 275 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:15.360 at times when you make money, it's great, it's awesome, 276 00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:19.360 but it's really just for entertainment. But now when I 277 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:21.960 think about this, this new year starting, I think a 278 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.360 lot about knowing every day I can find something to 279 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.159 bet on, and that you know, that's probably not the 280 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:30.200 right way to to, you know, to to look at it, right, 281 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.840 because there's days where I don't and I don't bet 282 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.000 every single day, trust me. And if I go through 283 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:35.919 a stretch where I'm losing, losing, losing, I'll take a 284 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:38.720 week off just to kind of reset. And I never 285 00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:40.960 bet more money than, you know, than I can afford. 286 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.279 But this is still new, you know what I mean. 287 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.639 Like I've loved this time of the you know, this 288 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.519 this period of the year every you know, for as 289 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:51.879 long as I can remember. But man, somebody asked me 290 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.039 this the other day, and I couldn't. I couldn't really 291 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.039 pinpoint when it was. I guess if I really thought 292 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:59.720 about it, I could figure it out. But like, I 293 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.679 haven't betting on sports that long. Like it's been legal 294 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:07.200 here in Kentucky for almost a calendar year now right 295 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:10.080 at it. And before that, I was, you know, I 296 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:13.320 was still betting going across the you know, state line, 297 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:14.840 which I'm telling you, I love that we have it here. 298 00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:17.039 It's so convenient. But there was something about crossing the 299 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:20.000 state line to lay down a bed because it just 300 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:21.799 felt like you know, you weren't allowed to do it 301 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:24.919 where you're from. Kind of like those pyromaniacs that drive 302 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:27.200 to Tennessee to get their fireworks and bring them back. 303 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.840 Like I guarantee you, Billy, and your local community has 304 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.360 the same fireworks, but it doesn't feel the same right 305 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.440 when you bring them back across state lines in the 306 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:38.600 back of your truck. You just feel like you did 307 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.480 something something dirty. Like whenever I would drive this is 308 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:44.080 this is wild. But whenever I whatever, I would drive 309 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:48.759 to do remotest at FanDuel Sports Book up there at Bilterra, 310 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.559 you know, because at that time the marketing for the 311 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:53.799 marketing wasn't as much because we you know, we would 312 00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.480 we were iHeart would be would be in a business 313 00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:01.320 relationship with our partners in the sports betting world to 314 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:04.559 encourage people to cross the state line and go bet. Now, 315 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:06.720 obviously there's plenty of people who listen to Indiana, but like, 316 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.639 you know, it's much different back then. But we would 317 00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:11.200 go do shows at at at bel Tero, of course, 318 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.759 because that's where the fan the FanDuel Sports Book was, 319 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:17.480 or is, I should say. And I remember like the 320 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:19.919 drive there, like thinking about like I just felt like 321 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:21.960 I was having to leave the country to go do 322 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:23.440 bad things, like I was some kind of like a 323 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:28.279 smuggler because I would leave, I would leave the sports book. 324 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.639 And I didn't even know this at the time, but 325 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:32.519 like you can, even if you're in a state where 326 00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:36.960 you can't bet, you can still like deposit money and 327 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.440 withdraw your money. But I didn't know that, John, So 328 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:41.519 like if I would go and know that I wasn't 329 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.679 going to be back at that specific sports book for 330 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.120 a while, you know, I would, you know, take I'd 331 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:47.639 show the app and walk up to the cash here 332 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:49.200 and be like, yeah, I'm gonna cash out, and I'd leave. 333 00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:50.679 You know, I had a good run there for a 334 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:53.519 couple of different NCAA tournaments where I'd leave feeling like, 335 00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:56.080 you know, I cleaned up again. I felt like Leonardo 336 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:57.840 DiCaprio and catch me if you can, Like I would, 337 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:01.639 like everything I was doing was super legal, and it 338 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:04.720 really wasn't anything that was badass in any way, and 339 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:06.639 it really wasn't that much money, but there was something 340 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.399 about that whole thing that made it feel like I 341 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:10.639 was on some kind of a mission with like a 342 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:12.159 heist or something. You know what I'm saying. 343 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:14.519 I can see it feeling like that. I didn't participate 344 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.000 in the offshore betting or even the going across the 345 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.399 state lines betting, but there's a couple of buddies of 346 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:21.399 mine that partook in it, and it did kind of 347 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.679 feel like they were in a whole nother world of 348 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:25.879 their own participating in that type of stuff. 349 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:28.679 And that's the best way to describe it, because I 350 00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:30.639 would butcher it, because yes, it does. It feels as 351 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:32.879 if you're just like in this. I don't want to 352 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:35.600 use the word like criminal organization, but like it just 353 00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.799 gives you somewhat of a sense of like, you know, yeah, 354 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:41.799 I bet I legally offshore. What's it to you? You 355 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:47.240 better not tell anybody because I'm dangerous. I'm such an idiot. 356 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:50.440 I'm sorry, all right. By the way, I teased this 357 00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:53.200 yesterday speaking of sports betting. We'll get to it later 358 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:55.600 and it's not something crazy, but I don't want to 359 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.120 give you a breakdown that I read on USA today 360 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:04.559 that does that does sort of warn sports betters that 361 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.559 you know your winnings are about to be taxed, and 362 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:10.680 that will make everybody upset. Doesn't mean that people won't 363 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.240 still bet, but that that'll be annoying, right, like the 364 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:15.480 exact money that you won, especially if you're somebody that's 365 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:19.319 a small better, you know, and you get taxed on 366 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.039 a ten dollars win, like that sucks. But you know what, 367 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:25.039 these these sports books they're got it. They're gonna do 368 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.279 something to offset those huge tax bills that they get. 369 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:28.759 So anyways, we'll get back into that a little bit 370 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:30.880 later on throughout the show today, we are going to 371 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:32.680 have a couple of guests that are going to join us. 372 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:35.839 We're gonna be joined coming up at around four o'clock 373 00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:38.799 by the one the Only, doctor Eric McElroy from pro 374 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:42.880 Rea Physical Therapy.

He of course, is our official college 377 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:54.839 football correspondent here Coffee and Company, which I'm sure is 378 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.559 something he is very proud of. He probably walks around 379 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:00.599 in Ditton, Texas, where he's from, and letting people know. 380 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:01.680 I don't know if you guys are aware of it, I 381 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:05.640 am the official college football correspondent Coffee and Company Sports 382 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:08.640 Talk seven ninety. Yeah, yeah, you probably knew, but if not, 383 00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:10.400 now you do, so check me out each week we're 384 00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:12.799 talking college football. So I'm sure Zach's proud, We're proud 385 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:15.279 to have him, and we're looking forward to chatting with him. 386 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:17.319 Coming up here at five o'clock. I'm going to get 387 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.000 his thoughts on some teams he thinks are getting way 388 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.680 too much love, some teams that maybe aren't getting enough love, 389 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:28.240 and also his thoughts on how this new change. Right, 390 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:30.319 there's all there's already a ton of changes in college 391 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.000 football with with college sports in general, right with NIL 392 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:35.480 and the portal and all that. But once we get 393 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:38.839 to whenever it is, because I'm not exactly sure when 394 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:41.160 it's going to happen, but the House Anti Trust Settlement, 395 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:43.799 once it's finalized, schools are going to be permitted to 396 00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:49.200 pay twenty two million dollars annually to their student athletes. So, 397 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.599 you know, you've always had to be mindful of expenses 398 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:55.079 when it comes to athletic departments, but now it's just 399 00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:56.960 a different world. I mean, it's really not going to 400 00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:59.720 be sustainable for a lot of programs. It just isn't. 401 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:01.839
