Speaker 1: It's time for coffee and company. Fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven ninety Holy crap, I don't know who.
Speaker 2: The hell we think when we.
Speaker 1: Are get off our show, idiot.
Speaker 3: The kids are playing or turn off.
Speaker 1: Their countries are screwing it up. Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother,
Speaker 1: gold Play Inner Murals.
Speaker 3: They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not.
Speaker 1: Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you
Speaker 1: kidding me?
Speaker 3: Now? Here's nick coffee? I mean it when I say it.
Speaker 3: I always tried to really live in the moment, remind
Speaker 3: myself every day how lucky I am to be able
Speaker 3: to do this. But today's one of those days where
Speaker 3: I really mean it, more so just because I've been
Speaker 3: running around like a chicken with my head cut off today.
Speaker 3: Just you know, I won't lie and act like it's
Speaker 3: been some like super important stuff. I've just been busy.
Speaker 3: John asked me, I've been running all over town and
Speaker 3: I haven't. I've set my house all day, just but
Speaker 3: on the phone zoom calls. You know, work and this
Speaker 3: you know this is this is work, but you know
Speaker 3: it doesn't feel like it. I had to do like
Speaker 3: more real work than usual today, And you know, it
Speaker 3: made me feel like like I had to grow up.
Speaker 3: Radio keeps me from having to, you know, truly grow up.
Speaker 3: I can live a lie that I'm a grown up,
Speaker 3: but like, really, I just get to play around. It's
Speaker 3: actually a pretty pretty cool scheme that I've been getting
Speaker 3: away with for quite some time. John, You're You're in
Speaker 3: You're in on it too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I haven't had to grow up just yet.
Speaker 3: Oh dude, you I mean, you are mature beyond your years.
Speaker 3: But you know, actually you are. You're too good for
Speaker 3: this industry, John, because you could probably change a lot
Speaker 3: of lives in some other sector, right as a business
Speaker 3: analyst maybe as I mean, you'd be you'd be a
Speaker 3: good school teacher. I bet.
Speaker 1: I mean you're aware of that. Yeah, but you but
Speaker 1: you feel like I couldn't do what she does.
Speaker 3: You chose radio, and and you know radio is is
Speaker 3: is better off having the company man himself. But like,
Speaker 3: did you know you wanted to do? Like, did you
Speaker 3: have any idea really what you wanted to do? I
Speaker 3: know you went to college at WKU and they've got
Speaker 3: a great you know, media sports broadcasting program. I'm sure
Speaker 3: I'm not describing that perfectly, but a lot of people
Speaker 3: who have gone on to have great success in sports
Speaker 3: media as journalists rather that be writing print or media,
Speaker 3: online video, whatever, like a lot of them have come
Speaker 3: from WKU, and John is one of the latest. But
Speaker 3: did you, like, I mean, if I had told you
Speaker 3: eight years ago you'd be in this position, would it
Speaker 3: have completely floored you? Eight years ago?
Speaker 1: I can swhear. What year would that have been? Right
Speaker 1: at the end of high school?
Speaker 3: Yeah, sixteen?
Speaker 1: I wanted to be in radio at the end of
Speaker 1: high school.
Speaker 3: Yes, well cool that that now.
Speaker 1: I think I've told you this before though, The very
Speaker 1: first career I ever wanted to have was a TV meteorologist.
Speaker 1: Whenever I was, you know, a young.
Speaker 3: Lass, when did that fade? And you were like, yeah, no,
Speaker 3: I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1: Probably once once I got when you saw Mike Weinberg
Speaker 1: on TV, and you were like, yeah, I can't be
Speaker 1: that guy.
Speaker 3: I can't. I can't take myself that sid.
Speaker 1: I just think guy, I just think guy didn't want
Speaker 1: to be in front of a camera, and thankfully in
Speaker 1: radio you don't have to do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. But yet now you have two other
Speaker 3: shows where you're you're right in front of the camera
Speaker 3: looking like a million bucks. So you know, life just
Speaker 3: works out the way it's supposed to work out. That's
Speaker 3: what I tell myself. But we're here. It is Coffee
Speaker 3: and Company. My name is Nick Coffee. The company man
Speaker 3: is the other voice you hear, mister John Olden alongside
Speaker 3: as we take you up until six o'clock fueled by Thornton's.
Speaker 3: Make sure you sign up to become a member of
Speaker 3: the Refreshing Awards program, because you know, life is better
Speaker 3: when you've got that membership in your back pocket. You
Speaker 3: save money at the gas pump, stopped in this morning,
Speaker 3: got the kids their fizz freeze. And even at eight
Speaker 3: fifteen this morning, man that walk from the front of
Speaker 3: Thornton's to the vehicle which was at a pump, I
Speaker 3: mean we're talking about maybe thirty yards at best, and man,
Speaker 3: those fizz freezes were already melting. I mean it's hot.
Speaker 3: It was hot outside. It was humid early like I
Speaker 3: don't even know if the temperature is as hot today
Speaker 3: as it was on Tuesday, but humidity heat indexes is crazy.
Speaker 3: But we've got a scrimmage tonight for my son's flag
Speaker 3: football team, and a lot of the parents are going
Speaker 3: back and forth about what are we gonna do? You know,
Speaker 3: But when you get to that late, it's hot, especially
Speaker 3: for you know. I mean it's even though it's always
Speaker 3: hot in August, late August, I mean, it's really hot
Speaker 3: this week, the hottest week of the year. But the
Speaker 3: heat indecks in humidity usually usually drops by then. So
Speaker 3: so you know, if the Vikings, I'm not sure what
Speaker 3: area the Vikings are from in our Cedar Grove, maybe
Speaker 3: the Vikings may be, you know, hoping for some high
Speaker 3: heat index so they can get out of a butt
Speaker 3: whoop in the night. I say that jokingly. I'm not
Speaker 3: even really sure how they do scrimmages for four and
Speaker 3: five year olds. I mean, it's flag football. The games
Speaker 3: themselves are not really games, so a scrimmage is probably
Speaker 3: going to be even more of like, you know, let's
Speaker 3: just let them run around and hope they get better.
Speaker 3: I give the coaches it really all level of youth sports,
Speaker 3: but you've got to be a patient human being to
Speaker 3: coach four and five year olds in flag football. I mean,
Speaker 3: even if you've got good group of kids, which we do,
Speaker 3: they're four and five and we've got a group of
Speaker 3: four or five coaches that volunteer their time, and man,
Speaker 3: they have patience, and it's been it's been pretty fun
Speaker 3: to watch as a parent because all the parents, you know,
Speaker 3: at that age, you don't really just drop like you
Speaker 3: can drop your kid off at practice when he's in
Speaker 3: middle school or you know, whenever he's seven eight or
Speaker 3: something like that, whenever, you know. But like my son
Speaker 3: is four, he just turned forth. He would cry if
Speaker 3: he saw his drive away while he's in practice, because
Speaker 3: you know, he's a little kid. So all the parents
Speaker 3: sit around in our chairs and watch practice, and I've
Speaker 3: become to I really love this group of kids. Man,
Speaker 3: I don't know him all that well. I only know
Speaker 3: him from football, but they become friends and they're having fun.
Speaker 3: They don't really know exactly how it all works, but
Speaker 3: our coaches many they are patient in a way that
Speaker 3: I could not be. And in fact, I've done a
Speaker 3: good job of and I don't get there till later
Speaker 3: on in the practice anyway, So parents are there for
Speaker 3: the entire hour and a half and it is nice
Speaker 3: to like whenever your kids just kind of goofing on,
Speaker 3: not being bad, but just you know, maybe not as
Speaker 3: locked in as you would as you would want, like
Speaker 3: all the parents have let every coach know, Hey, you
Speaker 3: gotta you've got to yell at him, do it, because
Speaker 3: if you don't, I'm going to. And it's just a
Speaker 3: it's such a process. But anyways, we're here with you
Speaker 3: on a Thursday afternoon, and I hope you guys will
Speaker 3: stick with us until six o'clock because we've got a
Speaker 3: lot to get into today. We're gonna be joined coming
Speaker 3: up at four o'clock by the one, the only, mister
Speaker 3: Kendrick Haskins from Way three Sports. Looking forward to chatting
Speaker 3: with him. And I will let you know, John, I've
Speaker 3: been ghosted you have by the Austin Pete beat writer.
Speaker 1: Oh Man, he's scared.
Speaker 3: No no response in the Twitter DM, no response in
Speaker 3: a formal email sent with my iHeartRadio email address to
Speaker 3: his Gannet email. He works for. He's a Capital J, Johnny.
Speaker 3: He works for that Clarksville Clarksville newspaper that you know
Speaker 3: is under the same ownership umbrella Gannet that you know
Speaker 3: the CJ is. He works for the CEA J Clarksvielle, Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Did I say Indiana Clarksville, Tennessee. And you know he's
Speaker 3: too good for the Coffee and Company show. Maybe he
Speaker 3: heard me talking about Austin P needed to just bend
Speaker 3: over and take it, and he thought he thought, maybe
Speaker 3: he you know, he's too high faluting for us because
Speaker 3: we're you know, knuckleheads on the radio. But he's gotten
Speaker 3: until he's gotten No. Five o'clock today. If he doesn't respond,
Speaker 3: then if he does respond after that, I'm gonna let
Speaker 3: him know it's off. And I better not see him
Speaker 3: in the press box either, because I'm here. I'm giving
Speaker 3: him an opportunity to reach millions of people on this show,
Speaker 3: right and he just is he's too good for us.
Speaker 3: It makes me want to see them beat them down,
Speaker 3: even more so on Saturday than they're already going to.
Speaker 3: You hear that Jeff, Austin P's beat writer thinks he's
Speaker 3: too good for us. So take that out on the
Speaker 3: Austin P. What are they?
Speaker 1: The governors?
Speaker 3: The governors? Let's go pee lame anyways, real quick. Last night,
Speaker 3: Jeff Brom had his first Coaches show of the year.
Speaker 3: I did not get a chance to hear much of that,
Speaker 3: but I think some notable updates here and by the way,
Speaker 3: thank you to Alexis Cubitt. She works for the CJ
Speaker 3: and she's a capital jay. I bet she'd responded to
Speaker 3: an email. She does a great job cover in UFL football.
Speaker 3: She's the beat writer for football and women's basketball for
Speaker 3: the CJ, and she did a good you know recap,
Speaker 3: not really recap. She was kind of tweeting along. And
Speaker 3: you know, I didn't hear this, but apparently Tyler shuck
Speaker 3: that guy like he's going to be a character. And
Speaker 3: you know, he's just different because he's old. And I
Speaker 3: don't mean to act like he's an old man, but
Speaker 3: like this dude apparently like is talking of he's starting.
Speaker 3: I mean he's married, right like most people are usually
Speaker 3: a few years into their career, even if it's at
Speaker 3: the entry level stage of that. He's still playing football
Speaker 3: at you know, twenty five years old. He's one of
Speaker 3: the oldest quarterbacks in the country. And you know, sounds
Speaker 3: it sounds like he's going to be somebody. When we
Speaker 3: hear from him after games at a press conference, or
Speaker 3: we hear from him during one of the weekly pressers
Speaker 3: to get ready for a game, or after practice, like
Speaker 3: the media availability for Tyler Shuck. I get the sense
Speaker 3: is going to be much different. Not to say that
Speaker 3: he's more entertaining or he's better or worse than any
Speaker 3: of the other athletes that have come through here that
Speaker 3: have been memorable when it comes to their interviews, but
Speaker 3: this guy is really in a different situation. He's played
Speaker 3: in two different Power five schools already, he got out
Speaker 3: of high school six seven years ago, and like he's
Speaker 3: a grown ass man who can play a little ball.
Speaker 3: So it sounds like they had to probably dump some
Speaker 3: of what he said because they asked somebody asked him,
Speaker 3: not sure if it was Paul Rodgers who asked him,
Speaker 3: if it was somebody that was in attendance that submitted
Speaker 3: the question, but what was it like in Lubbock, Texas
Speaker 3: where he came from, which is where Texas Tech is.
Speaker 3: And he responded by just saying that it smells like
Speaker 3: cow bleep, But he said the actual word, pretty direct answer.
Speaker 3: So anyways, I think it came up during the summer.
Speaker 3: And again it's not like it's I mean, there are
Speaker 3: a lot of guys who stick around in college longer
Speaker 3: than most, Like I mean, Jack Plummer was a if
Speaker 3: your guy last year because of the COVID situation, So old,
Speaker 3: you know, old old guys being around in college sports
Speaker 3: will no longer be a rare thing moving forward, because
Speaker 3: now you have an incentive to stick around because you're
Speaker 3: gonna make money. And who knows, I mean the NC
Speaker 3: double A, I mean, have they told anybody they can't
Speaker 3: come back and their eligibility is exhausted. Miami has a
Speaker 3: has a tight end on their team who is entering
Speaker 3: his ninth year of college force college football, like eighth
Speaker 3: or ninth, it's at least eighth, which is crazy. So like,
Speaker 3: you know, it's not going to be that rare moving forward,
Speaker 3: but you know, it is kind of rare to just
Speaker 3: think about. I mean, this guy when he was coming
Speaker 3: out of high school. Some of these guys on his
Speaker 3: team weren't in high school yet. So anyways, Jeff Brown
Speaker 3: was asked about the Amari Huggins Bruce situation, and it's,
Speaker 3: you know, from what I've gathered again from Alexis Cubitt,
Speaker 3: who is on Twitter at Alexis Underscore cub I t
Speaker 3: it sounds like Jeff acknowledged Tomorrow is back and they're
Speaker 3: happy to have him back, but it'll be more of
Speaker 3: a game time decision as far as if he's going
Speaker 3: to be able to play, So that tells me they
Speaker 3: have not been given the greenlight to play him just yet,
Speaker 3: which makes sense now where they get it by game time,
Speaker 3: I don't know, but clearly they're not going to risk it,
Speaker 3: so he's in the mix. It's just again, I would
Speaker 3: imagine at this point, it's just getting the thumbs up
Speaker 3: from the NCAA that he's going to be able to play,
Speaker 3: and I hope he is right because there's no negative here.
Speaker 3: Just gives you another receiver that can, you know, help
Speaker 3: you out, and you need that with the injury to
Speaker 3: Colin Lacy. But I'm also gonna be pretty conc I
Speaker 3: just don't know how they're gonna get him eligible because
Speaker 3: I was told yesterday by somebody who didn't didn't know
Speaker 3: this for certain, but they felt like the theory I
Speaker 3: floated out there as far as how he be eligible
Speaker 3: is not the case meaning he did not graduate, because
Speaker 3: that's what the only the only scenario I can see
Speaker 3: where they were able to figure out a way for
Speaker 3: him to be eligible would be that the portal did
Speaker 3: not matter with him because he graduated. Therefore he doesn't
Speaker 3: have to end of the portal. He can transfer whenever
Speaker 3: he wants, but he would have to go through through
Speaker 3: I mean, he's only been in college for three years.
Speaker 3: This will be his fourth year, so therefore he would
Speaker 3: have to I mean, and it's not crazy for guys
Speaker 3: to do, you know, a lot of summer school. And
Speaker 3: if he did summer school every year and got enough
Speaker 3: credits to where he did actually have enough to obtain
Speaker 3: a bachelor's degree and be a graduate, that wouldn't be
Speaker 3: a shocker. But I was told by somebody yesterday that
Speaker 3: they don't. They're pretty sure that's not the case with him,
Speaker 3: So we'll see. There's been a lot of talk about
Speaker 3: this guy. Uh and there's still really not any indication
Speaker 3: for sure that he's going to be able to play.
Speaker 3: I don't think. But anyways, all right, real quick, can
Speaker 3: we talk? Can we can? We can we have a
Speaker 3: grown up conversation here about attendance because I used to
Speaker 3: have the stance of like, I don't want to talk
Speaker 3: attendance because I can't fake that. I care what other
Speaker 3: people do. I want U of L to have a
Speaker 3: great crowd at every event they have hope that I
Speaker 3: hope every sporting event UFL ever has moving forward, You've
Speaker 3: got people lined up to the interstate to get in.
Speaker 3: But I also can't give you the faith, like where
Speaker 3: were you guys at we had fifty percent compelling? Like
Speaker 3: I just can't cause again, like who am I to
Speaker 3: tell people what to do with their time and their money?
Speaker 3: So I've that's that's where I have resided when it
Speaker 3: comes to this platform and the crowd, the attendance, empty seats,
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. And then last year I learned
Speaker 3: to take my own advice and not get in the
Speaker 3: weeds because all it took was one tweet about the
Speaker 3: attendance being light at the Duke game, and I got
Speaker 3: everybody coming after me like I'm criticizing the fans when
Speaker 3: one tweet led people believing that. But if you listen
Speaker 3: to me even a little bit, you know that I
Speaker 3: never shamed, like I never get into the crowd conversation
Speaker 3: because I've never been able to understand how you can
Speaker 3: go to a game with your hard earned money and
Speaker 3: look around and see empty seats and then decide that
Speaker 3: you no long like it's ruined the app, Like why
Speaker 3: do you care? You can't control it? Like why in sports,
Speaker 3: there's not one hundred percent of tension on the people
Speaker 3: who do go to games, rather than shifting attention to
Speaker 3: people that don't go. I'll never understand, but I did
Speaker 3: it once last year just because when Louisville was dominating
Speaker 3: Duke and really bouncing back well from you know, that
Speaker 3: loss to Pitt and whatnot, like I felt like, you know,
Speaker 3: there should have been more fans there, and I should
Speaker 3: have just kept that thought to myself because that that,
Speaker 3: you know, people like like I was coming after the
Speaker 3: fan base, which again I don't want to get into that.
Speaker 3: The reason I bring all this up is because if
Speaker 3: it rains like they are they're they're predicting on Saturday,
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a light crowd there. Like, let's just
Speaker 3: be real here, Like, if it's legitimately raining for a
Speaker 3: good chunk of the game, even if there is a
Speaker 3: lot of people there, they're gonna be in the back.
Speaker 3: You know, they're gonna be in the the covered area
Speaker 3: drinking beer or you know, in that area that's near
Speaker 3: the new closed off section where you can actually still
Speaker 3: see the field but be covered. Like there'll be people
Speaker 3: in ponchos out there because you know, you're always gonna
Speaker 3: have people that do that. But like I if Louisville
Speaker 3: blows Austin P off the field by sixty seventy points
Speaker 3: and we get callers talking about attendants during a game
Speaker 3: when it rained and it's Austin P. I don't know
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna do, Like I'm not gonna be disrespectful
Speaker 3: to them, but like I just can't. I can't do it.
Speaker 3: I can't. I can't act like that's gonna be a
Speaker 3: legitimate talking point because one, it serves no purpose, right,
Speaker 3: Like talking about attendance doesn't help get more people there.
Speaker 3: In my opinion, what helps get more people there is
Speaker 3: when things are going really well and you do have
Speaker 3: a good opponent, and Austin P's not that, and weather's
Speaker 3: a factor. Like I don't know, I just I remember
Speaker 3: doing a postgame show years ago and the tendance was
Speaker 3: light and weather was a factor, and you know, somebody
Speaker 3: called in seemingly intoxicated, which, hey, we love drunk calls
Speaker 3: on the postgame show, right John, I love the drunker
Speaker 3: the better. He's just got to be ready for the
Speaker 3: dump button. But hey, you can get hammered and call. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So either way, I like when you go third person,
Speaker 3: that kind of works. But I remember this guy called
Speaker 3: in and he was like, oh out there, my potchow
Speaker 3: all game, baby? Where was that? And just started, you know,
Speaker 3: cutting a promo on the fans being fair weather and whatnot.
Speaker 3: And I just sat there and thought to myself, is
Speaker 3: this real life? Because sometimes sports does make you remove
Speaker 3: yourself from real life. In fact, I think it does
Speaker 3: it pretty often if you think about it, Like the
Speaker 3: way we communicate with each other within the rivalry, the
Speaker 3: toxic wasteland that is Twitter, like sports oftentimes is an
Speaker 3: escape from real life, and we, you know, act in
Speaker 3: a way we never would if we for a brief
Speaker 3: second thought, okay, like should I be doing this? Should
Speaker 3: I be saying this? But like, imagine telling somebody they're
Speaker 3: a bad fan because they didn't want to sit in
Speaker 3: pouring down rain while Louisville was up sixty points against
Speaker 3: Austin p Like again, remove the fanatic side of it
Speaker 3: and just think about it. Think about you know, just
Speaker 3: think about being a human being to another human being. Like,
Speaker 3: even if you you are a jerk as a human
Speaker 3: being in real life, you just sound ridiculous acting as
Speaker 3: if somebody did something wrong because they don't want to
Speaker 3: be out there in those conditions. So I hope there's
Speaker 3: a great crowd. I hope the weather is you know,
Speaker 3: I mean, John, you wanted to be a meteorologist. I'm
Speaker 3: sure you still got an itch. What do you what
Speaker 3: are you projecting here? Because I'll tell you what our boy,
Speaker 3: Mark with a C said.
Speaker 1: What does he say?
Speaker 3: And I need to know if you think this is true,
Speaker 3: because I trust you more than I trust Mark, if
Speaker 3: I'm being honest here. But here's what he says. Well,
Speaker 3: he tweets a lot. Now I gotta now, I gotta
Speaker 3: you know, I gotta keep scrolling. Well, I gotta find it. Basically,
Speaker 3: what he said is prepare for ponchos. Yeah, here it is.
Speaker 3: It looks increasingly likely that rain and storms, which by
Speaker 3: the way, there's a difference there, rain and storms will
Speaker 3: be around our area on Saturday. If you were going
Speaker 3: to the UFL game, I think a poncho is a
Speaker 3: no brainer. So that's that was what he said. I mean,
Speaker 3: you trust him.
Speaker 1: I trust Aci Weather, which is probably just as accurate
Speaker 1: as they say the same thing. Seventy percent chance of
Speaker 1: thunderstorms or rain on Saturday in the Louisville area.
Speaker 3: How how close do you have to get to the
Speaker 3: actual day before they give you the hourly And by
Speaker 3: the way, even if they even if I found an
Speaker 3: hourly forecast for Saturday, I'm not sure how much I
Speaker 3: would trust it.
Speaker 1: It's like a semi hourly. It's every three hours Saturday,
Speaker 1: and it looks like the highest chance is a little
Speaker 1: above fifty percent or the peak I guess what the
Speaker 1: seventy percent is right between twelve and one, so right
Speaker 1: around kickoff time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not great because it'd be better if it
Speaker 3: came late when the game's kind of already done, you know,
Speaker 3: like out of hand. But yeah, at theweather dot com website,
Speaker 3: it says thunderstorm is likely in the morning, then a
Speaker 3: chance of scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. High of eighty six.
Speaker 3: Chance of rain is seventy percent. So, if I'm being honest,
Speaker 3: that sucks, like the test, the games at noon, like
Speaker 3: everything about that sucks. Let's just hope that they're wrong.
Speaker 3: Oftentimes they are. But I just I don't know, like.
Speaker 1: The moisture in the air is gonna be it's gonna
Speaker 1: be swamp ass at Ellen Stadium.
Speaker 3: Swamp swamp ass to get it started. Huh oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's when you know football seasons here, right, there's all
Speaker 3: kinds of signs that have been right in front of
Speaker 3: our face. In fact, you got games tonight we're gonna
Speaker 3: talk about because I got some picks to share with you. However,
Speaker 3: like maybe that's the final Maybe that's the incentive for
Speaker 3: people to go. If you want the final confirmation that
Speaker 3: football season is here, you be at Cardinal Stadium, Llenn
Speaker 3: Cardinal Stadium. I should say, get that swamp ass, get
Speaker 3: a nice base, and then then you're like you can
Speaker 3: look around and say, what it's here. Football season is
Speaker 3: finally here, because it's not really here until you get
Speaker 3: swamp aass. I guess. Anyways, let's just not talk about
Speaker 3: like attendance because again, like people don't go to games
Speaker 3: like they used to. It's never been more convenient to
Speaker 3: convince yourself to watch from home, enjoy your own cold beer.
Speaker 3: You can actually get more access to what's going on
Speaker 3: because cell service isn't great at the game, and I love,
Speaker 3: I want everybody to go to every single game. I
Speaker 3: just am acknowledging the obvious, which is it's easy for
Speaker 3: people to say that they're not going to go. And
Speaker 3: when you're throw in the opponent in this weather, it's
Speaker 3: an even bigger factor. Is as far as fans just deciding, yeah,
Speaker 3: this is if there's and honestly, if there's one game,
Speaker 3: I know it's the opener, and that's you know that
Speaker 3: there's something about getting the season started. But like there's
Speaker 3: one opponent on the schedule that you don't care to
Speaker 3: go see Louisville play. This is it, I mean, even
Speaker 3: more so than Jacksonville State, who, by the way, for
Speaker 3: who they are, they're actually kind of good. I didn't
Speaker 3: realize that. All right, we're loaded the rest of the way.
Speaker 3: Stick around and we'll let you guys be a part
Speaker 3: of the show today because we did that yesterday and
Speaker 3: we had probably I mean, you're the one that's man
Speaker 3: in the phone lines. John was that his caller driven
Speaker 3: as we've been like since basketball season, maybe at least
Speaker 3: since the coaches were hired, right, Yes, yes, so hey,
Speaker 3: I always throw the number out there here and there.
Speaker 3: But you know, sometimes there's shows where like you can
Speaker 3: call in, but like I don't like sometimes this show
Speaker 3: is not a in a spot to where we're you know,
Speaker 3: we're doing a whole lot of interaction or whatnot. But hey,
Speaker 3: the door's always open. So five two five seven seventy
Speaker 3: nine hundred is the number. If you want to gives
Speaker 3: a call, you can text in on the ln N
Speaker 3: Federal Credit Union text line at five two sixty five

Speaker 3: Take us with you wherever you go. You can listen
Speaker 3: live on the iHeartRadio app listen live at seven ninety
Speaker 3: Louisville dot com. Uh So, I am somebody who you know,
Speaker 3: likes to spend money on gambling. Don't win much money,
Speaker 3: but I love doing it and I have really in
Speaker 3: the last couple of days. When I do get some
Speaker 3: free time, I listen to a couple of different podcasts
Speaker 3: that do talk about college football bets. Right, they just
Speaker 3: do basically pick them shows, and Louisville is there's a
Speaker 3: lot for you. Rarely hear a lot about somebody that
Speaker 3: you know. If you've got the whole board of games
Speaker 3: which we have on Saturday. Usually if somebody's going to
Speaker 3: really promote a game that they feel good about, you
Speaker 3: wouldn't see a lot of Power five versus FCS, especially
Speaker 3: because when you got a spread that's thirty six and
Speaker 3: a half, like usually that's a stay away for most people.
Speaker 3: But both the shows that I listened to when they
Speaker 3: mentioned like five games, they're the most confident in as
Speaker 3: far as their pick and their wager, it's Louisville to cover,
Speaker 3: just because they think Louisville will light up the scoreboard
Speaker 3: in Austin. P Of course, you know, as an FCS
Speaker 3: team that you know is probably you know, they're here
Speaker 3: to get They're here to pick up a check ben,
Speaker 3: to overtake a spank in and go back to Clarksville.
Speaker 3: And I think Jeff is probably gonna be fine with
Speaker 3: putting a bunch of I mean, you gotta think he's
Speaker 3: probably itching to score an insane amount of points because
Speaker 3: last year, despite having a really good special debut season,
Speaker 3: there's no way he scored as many touchdowns as he wanted.
Speaker 3: He didn't hear that train horn as much as he
Speaker 3: wanted to hear it when they put six on the
Speaker 3: board every time, which, by the way, I forgot to
Speaker 3: mention it the press conference on Monday. It just randomly
Speaker 3: went off during his press conference, and I mean it
Speaker 3: probably made it even more eager to get the hell
Speaker 3: out of that press conference and go start working on
Speaker 3: the offense. Not to say that, like the offense has issues,
Speaker 3: but my point is I think Brohm wants to name
Speaker 3: the score this year, and that won't be You won't
Speaker 3: be able to do that with everybody you play, obviously,
Speaker 3: because you're gonna play some good teams. But if there's
Speaker 3: a team you could name the score, it will be
Speaker 3: this game, all right. If you guys want to be
Speaker 3: part of the show, you can five two, five, seven,
Speaker 3: one seventy nine hundred is the number? Do you give
Speaker 3: us a call? Text line Ellen and Federal Credit Union

Speaker 3: Again the numbers five x two sixty five three zero
Speaker 3: seven ninety. But let's get to the phone lines here,
Speaker 3: shall we. We will welcome in day Dave. You're on
Speaker 3: Sports Talk seven ninety. What's happening, sir?
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, nick, I got a question about football scholarships
Speaker 2: at you? Okay, I thought they had. I thought they
Speaker 2: had eighty five football scholarships before. H Uh, Huggins Bruce,
Speaker 2: I mean, have they gonna are they gonna give him?
Speaker 3: He's walking on, pardon he's walking on.
Speaker 2: Give any idea. I wasn't listening when you spoke earlier
Speaker 2: about this.
Speaker 3: Shame on you. You better listen to all all three hours, Dave.
Speaker 3: You know the drill?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, sorry the uh yeah.
Speaker 3: So Huggins Huggins Bruce is here, he's enrolled in school,
Speaker 3: he's with the team, he's practicing. They're still waiting to
Speaker 3: see if they get the green light from the n
Speaker 3: C double A for him to be able to play,
Speaker 3: and I I have no clue how this works. The
Speaker 3: NSA A has never been more unpredictable than now, because
Speaker 3: nobody really seems to know what the rules are, if
Speaker 3: there are any, and if you're gonna be punished if
Speaker 3: you break the rules. But I've always felt like they
Speaker 3: gotta people, they're gonna have to pull off some kind
Speaker 3: of a magic trick to get him eligible, because I
Speaker 3: just don't know how he would be eligible. But maybe
Speaker 3: they get it. Maybe maybe there's some kind of a
Speaker 3: loophole that we don't know about. But as far as scholarships,
Speaker 3: maybe they had one available because you know, they just did.
Speaker 3: But the day that I the day, the day where
Speaker 3: the rumors started to really pick up with him. As
Speaker 3: far as him coming back to Louisville, it was it
Speaker 3: was gonna be that he would walk on. So Nil
Speaker 3: may be paying for his his tuition here this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what I thought. Okay, well, thank you
Speaker 2: for your time.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Dave. Appreciate you, brother, Dave's and og man.
Speaker 3: He's been calling this show for years, and that might
Speaker 3: be the last sign I needed John the football season's back,
Speaker 3: or that, you know, the season's back in general, because
Speaker 3: you know, Dave's always gonna be called in. He's a
Speaker 3: mainstay football, football season, basketball season. Dave's he's locked in.
Speaker 3: He was locked in in basketball. He would watch every game,
Speaker 3: even if they were the worst team in the Power Five,
Speaker 3: which they were of course. Yeah, I felt like I
Speaker 3: kind of felt like we were in a joint therapy
Speaker 3: session a lot, because you know, we would kind of
Speaker 3: go in circles at times with Dave, not meaning him specifically,
Speaker 3: but like Dave and I had a lot of the
Speaker 3: same conversations on this show and on the postgame show
Speaker 3: about Louisville basketball and Kenny Payne, and you know, it
Speaker 3: was a wild time. And I don't mean that, you know,
Speaker 3: in a good way. But hey, we had Dave with
Speaker 3: us when we went through it, and that made it better.
Speaker 3: So shout out to uh, shout out to Dave. So
Speaker 3: now that I've gassed up Dave as a caller, we
Speaker 3: had somebody on the texting yesterday towards the end of
Speaker 3: the show that, you know, and it might have been
Speaker 3: the guy who called in that I had to kind
Speaker 3: of run. And the text essentially said, you encourage people
Speaker 3: to call, why would they if you're going to be
Speaker 3: little of them and and you know, talk over them.
Speaker 3: And it may just be somebody trying to, you know,
Speaker 3: get me riled up. But like I in another point,
Speaker 3: like people who work with my family members, like my wife,
Speaker 3: Like if you thought that, like I, I, I think
Speaker 3: what the issue is people who call into radio shows now,
Speaker 3: they like they don't seem to really want to like
Speaker 3: be a part of the show, to like care Like
Speaker 3: I'm all over the place here. But what I'm trying
Speaker 3: to get at is that if you want to call
Speaker 3: on the show like and say things, I'm not just
Speaker 3: gonna be appreciative that you're listening and calling to let
Speaker 3: you talk for four minutes and may not say a word,
Speaker 3: and you say things that are untrue or just things
Speaker 3: that are you know, wrong, Like I want to have
Speaker 3: a conversation. And I think people in this market specifically
Speaker 3: have just gotten so used to anybody that gets on
Speaker 3: the line they can you know, they just kind of
Speaker 3: turn it into their own show. I mean that happens
Speaker 3: on the morning show here at seven am, Like yeah,
Speaker 3: people call in, Damn it turned into their show for
Speaker 3: the whole hour sometimes. So like that's not what I
Speaker 3: would ever want to do. I don't think that's good radio.
Speaker 3: So because I'm having a conversation or I'm correcting someone
Speaker 3: who says something wrong, or maybe at times it does
Speaker 3: get like heated back and forth, that doesn't mean that
Speaker 3: I was mean or disrespectful to a caller. That's how
Speaker 3: radio is supposed to work. And I you know, somebody
Speaker 3: told my wife I was mean to somebody on the
Speaker 3: phone line yesterday.
Speaker 4: John.
Speaker 3: That's what That's why I'm bringing home, man, And I
Speaker 3: wasn't no, but she just asked, like what happened, and
Speaker 3: I'm like, nothing, you were.
Speaker 1: All you did was say you kind of just didn't
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. Moment after he said the few things
Speaker 1: that bring correct and maybe it was embarrassing to him.
Speaker 3: We'll never know, But I just don't understand why you
Speaker 3: would let somebody call in and just know they're saying
Speaker 3: things incorrectly and let them talk for as long as
Speaker 3: they want. And I think in a way, it's that
Speaker 3: people are so appreciated that somebody called in and that they're, oh,
Speaker 3: thank you so much for calling. You're listening. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: let you talk because man, I'm just glad you called
Speaker 3: because that means we got somebody listening. And like, I
Speaker 3: don't know, I think we got a few people listening
Speaker 3: right now. And I love when people call and an interacted.
Speaker 3: The show's better when it's interactive. But like, I just
Speaker 3: don't like being labeled as somebody that is mean to callers,
Speaker 3: because I, you know, will go back and forth, and
Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever been like disrespectful. There's been
Speaker 3: one time where I did get a little heated and
Speaker 3: I and I went back and listened, and I thought,
Speaker 3: you know what, Yeah, I could have said everything I was.
Speaker 3: I could have made my point, said everything I wanted
Speaker 3: to say and not been as big of a jerk
Speaker 3: about it, if you know what I mean. But like yesterday,
Speaker 3: and I went back and pulled it up so I could.
Speaker 3: I could so I could defend myself to my wife.
Speaker 3: I don't wonder thinking I'm mean to people.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 3: Here's the call yesterday? Is it Danny? I think it
Speaker 3: was Danny. I mean again, maybe I hear it this
Speaker 3: time and think, okay, yeah, Nick, you were mean. I
Speaker 3: don't think I was mean. And yet it turned into
Speaker 3: somebody on the text line saying, well, people probably won't
Speaker 3: call now since you're going to be a jerk. And
Speaker 3: then you know, people telling my wife that I'm, you know,
Speaker 3: being mean to callers. Jersey probably fitting with everybody else there.
Speaker 3: Number if he gives a call, let's go to Danny. Danny,
Speaker 3: you're on Sportsbok seven ninety. What's up?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 4: Nick admitted the UK fan here and just kind of
Speaker 4: playing Devil's advocate. We we went every year or you know,
Speaker 4: the past few years we've won. But I feel like
Speaker 4: when you ask Louisville fans about what's changed their only players,
Speaker 4: Jeff Brown. We got Jeff brom now. But and I'm
Speaker 4: being sincere. I'm not I'm not trying to be a jerk,
Speaker 4: but it's like he was thirty six and thirty four
Speaker 4: at Perdue. Any the big games. You know, every year
Speaker 4: he he loses the big game, three lost mediocre.
Speaker 3: No Danny, Danny, Danny, Danny. Jeff doesn't lose the big game.
Speaker 3: He loses the small game. Jeff Brown beat round. Okay,
Speaker 3: Jeff Brown beat three top three teams at Perdue. Jeff
Speaker 3: Brown went thirty four. Yeah, and let me tell you listen, listen,
Speaker 3: let's send Danny before before Jeff Brown was at Purdue,
Speaker 3: the previous coaches were thirteen and nineteen in four seasons
Speaker 3: and three and twenty four in four seasons. Him winning
Speaker 3: at Purdue and making them even relevant for an hour
Speaker 3: was good work on his part. So look, Jeff wins
Speaker 3: big games. He you know, he didn't beat Kentucky last
Speaker 3: year and that that sucked. But his issue is actually
Speaker 3: he'll win a big game then lose to Pittsburgh like
Speaker 3: he did last year. So you know, like, and I
Speaker 3: think you're being sincere. But Jeff Brohm has more coaching
Speaker 3: ability in one of his testicles than Scott Sadderfield has,
Speaker 3: if he has any therefore like that, Like if you
Speaker 3: take issue with Louisville fans claiming that you know it,
Speaker 3: what do you mean it's different? It's clearly different, Jeff browm. Look,
Speaker 3: Louisville gets respected by everybody more because Sadderfield's not here
Speaker 3: and bram Is doesn't mean Jeff's going to beat you
Speaker 3: this year. I have no clue what's gonna happen. But
Speaker 3: Louisville football is clearly in a much different world now
Speaker 3: than they were. And that's not to say the elite.
Speaker 3: But with Sadderfield, they capped out like they never won
Speaker 3: a games with him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I agree, I just like I said, I
Speaker 4: think the argument is just UK's improved, they got new transfers, players,
Speaker 4: Louisles improved. But it's like it's unfathomable but that that
Speaker 4: Jeff Brohm could could lose again, or that he's already
Speaker 4: won or somehow.
Speaker 3: Last year in that game, last game last year, when
Speaker 3: that game was played beforehand, did did you did you
Speaker 3: think Kentucky was gonna win? Because I didn't hear a
Speaker 3: single cars and I'm gonna.
Speaker 4: Tell you what. I wasn't convinced they we're gonna lose.
Speaker 4: And I got a draft kings for Seed. I'll send
Speaker 4: you because the big Uglies are the SEC. We could
Speaker 4: literally be the twelfth or thirteenth ranked team in the
Speaker 4: country this year if everything played out on paper, and
Speaker 4: we'd be seven and five, and so when we go
Speaker 4: into a game six and six or seven and five,
Speaker 4: it does matter. It's like saying, well, throw out the schedules. Well, yeah,
Speaker 4: if we played in the American League, yeah we'd have
Speaker 4: or whatever conference Louis has been in.
Speaker 3: It's like, you think, thank you for the call, Danny.
Speaker 3: I mean if you don't even mean you were way
Speaker 3: off with a lot of things. You just started yapping
Speaker 3: about and I had to correct you, and then you
Speaker 3: don't even know what lee. So at the end, I
Speaker 3: could have just ran the call. The evidence was presented
Speaker 3: there for those who just joined us. In the last
Speaker 3: three minutes. I was replaying a call yesterday to defend
Speaker 3: myself because I think it's my obligation to defend myself.
Speaker 3: Nobody else is gonna do it. I wasn't be if
Speaker 3: anybody I was mean to Scott Saderfield. I made the
Speaker 3: insinuation that he does not have testicles. He took astray there.
Speaker 3: It wasn't that guy. I would Danny, and I do belok, Danny,
Speaker 3: he's being sincere. But like if I'm a bad guy
Speaker 3: for correcting a caller for simply saying things multiple times
Speaker 3: without a three minute call that are just flat out
Speaker 3: not true, Like what are we doing here? Like isn't
Speaker 3: it my obligation to you know, run the show and
Speaker 3: not let misinformation be shared. And it's one thing if
Speaker 3: you would have shared an opinion that it's agree with.
Speaker 3: He just said things that aren't true, and I thought
Speaker 3: I was respectful to him, and I didn't cut him
Speaker 3: off until you know the end. John, I feel like you,
Speaker 3: after hearing that, now think I was meaner than I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't feel any different than before.
Speaker 3: Okay, you mean that You're not just saying that to
Speaker 3: be nice to me? No?
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, I yes, I do mean it.
Speaker 3: Just make it sure I'm a nice guy.
Speaker 1: I think the reason that people are texting in is
Speaker 1: maybe they're afraid to call in, and maybe they're afraid
Speaker 1: they're going to say something that will kind of embarrass
Speaker 1: themselves and maybe they don't mean to, but maybe that's
Speaker 1: why you got people send it in things.
Speaker 3: That and that's why, like I always try to remind
Speaker 3: people when it comes to calls, like, let's you know,
Speaker 3: if you want to contribute to the show, like if
Speaker 3: you want to call in, and you know, you might
Speaker 3: get on the air to say whatever, like, but like
Speaker 3: for me, if I want to go to the phone lines,
Speaker 3: I want it to be something that is, you know,
Speaker 3: on track, and he doesn't have to you didn't have
Speaker 3: to be. You can ask a question that has nothing
Speaker 3: to do with what we're talking about. That's one thing,
Speaker 3: but like to just turn it into your own show,
Speaker 3: no offense. This this this is my show.
Speaker 1: Like remember the guy I think this is during basketball
Speaker 1: at least during the coaching situation. I can't remember the
Speaker 1: exact time, but it was the guy who was mad
Speaker 1: that we had him on hold for fifteen or twenty
Speaker 1: minutes whatever it was, and that's not even long compared
Speaker 1: to some people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then oh my god, that that's the guy
Speaker 3: that I did lose my cool on. Do you know why?
Speaker 3: Because he said one thing that really just made me
Speaker 3: just turn it up and notch to where I did.
Speaker 3: Even though I wasn't saying anything super disrespectful, I was
Speaker 3: just being an ass. I was coming off as an
Speaker 3: ass because he said, are you gonna let me talk?
Speaker 3: Whenever I was trying to respond to things he was saying,
Speaker 3: and I thought to myself, I don't have to let
Speaker 3: you talk. This is my show, dude, that's the truth.
Speaker 3: And whether it's not, and you don't want to say that,
Speaker 3: I sound like such an a hole by this is
Speaker 3: my show, damnit.
Speaker 1: And I would never want to say that either if
Speaker 1: this was my show or anybody show for that matter.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, the callers, they're not entitled anything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: even and here's the thing. Ninety percent of the people
Speaker 1: maybe even more than that, who call the shows or
Speaker 1: great shows are very good people and they're very nice
Speaker 1: and they're not trying to do what some of the
Speaker 1: other guys do. And I think Danny's one of those people.
Speaker 3: And then we was it yesterday the day before where
Speaker 3: we had somebody calling about Prime.
Speaker 1: That was that was earlier this week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that was another example to where
Speaker 3: they just expected somebody to just let you know without
Speaker 3: having a conversation, Like it's not about cutting people off.
Speaker 3: But like the dude who called in once once I
Speaker 3: explained what I explained about Deon Sanders and why I
Speaker 3: felt the way that I felt. Once he got on
Speaker 3: the air, he'd completely changed his tune because he just
Speaker 3: wanted to defend Deon. Whenever I think he realized, like
Speaker 3: it's not like I'm saying he's not gonna have a
Speaker 3: chance to win this year, but like, you know, I mean,
Speaker 3: the guy hasn't proven anything yet, Like is what is
Speaker 3: out of line by somebody ranking him as the second
Speaker 3: worst coach in the Big twelve when he's had one
Speaker 3: year at this level and he won four games, Like
Speaker 3: I don't you know? And when people you know, listen
Speaker 3: and realize it's not to say that what I say
Speaker 3: is always going to be right and all you got
Speaker 3: to do is listen and you'll agree, Like that's not
Speaker 3: at all what I mean, although it's coming off that way,
Speaker 3: but like I'll put it this way. I think when
Speaker 3: it comes to callers, I've always been a little uncomfortable
Speaker 3: with it, especially on this show, just because like I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna do what other shows in the market do
Speaker 3: where they just put anybody on who can dial seven
Speaker 3: digits and just let him have a segment to where
Speaker 3: they have their own show, Like that's not what this is.
Speaker 3: It's a great way to get more people to call in, right,
Speaker 3: all right, let's take a break. We'll come back on
Speaker 3: the other side. More love out there nationally for Louisville's
Speaker 3: nil collective of the five O two circle, we can
Speaker 3: certainly get into that. ABC. As you know, they along
Speaker 3: with ESPN of course the same company really under Disney.
Speaker 3: They have college football games this year SEC and they've
Speaker 3: released their anthem, you know, the theme song, because they's
Speaker 3: no longer going to be the CBS SEC college football anthem.
Speaker 3: That's dead, So now we have a new one, and man,
Speaker 3: it's bad. It is really bad. Stick with us Coffee
Speaker 3: and Company feel about Thorton's on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 3: I'll be nice today. I can see why people would
Speaker 3: need two phones, like work phone, personal phone, but it
Speaker 3: would be I would I am already really really bad
Speaker 3: at staying organized consistently. If I had two phones, I
Speaker 3: wouldn't know what planet I'm on. Yeah, I wouldn't know
Speaker 3: what would I would just sit there with both not
Speaker 3: knowing which priority to lose one. Yeah, I mean so anyways,
Speaker 3: shout out to Kevin Gates, right, is that Kevin Gates?
Speaker 3: Two phones? Here we go. Uh so, let's let's let
Speaker 3: you guys here. The CBS sec anthem theme, whatever you
Speaker 3: want to call it, that's been around for a long
Speaker 3: long time. I mean, this is this is I think,
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's iconic. I mean, at least I
Speaker 3: believe that this gets you ready for football, like everybody
Speaker 3: knows this, right, like this is known. Then then then
Speaker 3: Gary Danielson starts talking and he sucks and it's kind
Speaker 3: of a buzz kill. But then again you think, okay,
Speaker 3: well we've got a top five matchup. The hell with
Speaker 3: Gary Danielson, he can't ruin it for us. So I
Speaker 3: will say this about this anthem. This isn't just good
Speaker 3: because it's old and nostalgic. It's good like it's I
Speaker 3: think it's well done. All right, now, I'm gonna let
Speaker 3: you hear what the new sec anthem is now that
Speaker 3: it's no longer on CBS, it's now on ABC. Because
Speaker 3: it's not good and I haven't seen any response since
Speaker 3: ESPN's PR put it out that is anything other than
Speaker 3: criticism for this new Uh yeah, it says the sec
Speaker 3: on ABC franchise will bring back a fan favorite from
Speaker 3: the early two thousands, revamping the old school ESPN college
Speaker 3: football theme song. So they revamped it. To me, it
Speaker 3: sounds like bad Ai is what. It sounds like a
Speaker 3: bad Ai production. Quit a second, Well it's not I
Speaker 3: got both playing. Here we go, apologies, here we go?
Speaker 3: Now this is this is the new one? So flat.
Speaker 1: I love the way you described it as it sounds
Speaker 1: like someone just asked Ai to make this. Because it
Speaker 1: also sounds like an off brand like March Madness song.
Speaker 3: It's not even well produced. It sounds so low budget,
Speaker 3: doesn't it? And there's no energy. I feel nothing.
Speaker 1: It almost sounds like I don't know if low budget's
Speaker 1: what I would say, but like they're trying too hard.
Speaker 3: Trying too hard for what. This doesn't get anybody excited.
Speaker 3: This is like there's just a lot going on with it. This. Look,
Speaker 3: I'm not kidding you. I could take this music and
Speaker 3: have it be the background music for an old guy
Speaker 3: running for mayor in a small town. Like to me,
Speaker 3: this doesn't give off any intensity football any I feel nothing,
Speaker 3: Like if you were gonna be promoting that you're about
Speaker 3: to have, like the presidential debate. You could play this
Speaker 3: and it would it would suffusing about it like this,
Speaker 3: this this is not action and tonight, Yeah exactly do you.
Speaker 1: Think, John, it's Tamala Harris versus Donald Trump hair on
Speaker 1: CNN perfect.
Speaker 3: I tried not to step on it because that was
Speaker 3: actually really good, Like you could hear that and think
Speaker 3: that you're really about to watch the debate. I mean,
Speaker 3: like this sucks and I'm and I'm I'm I've replayed it.
Speaker 3: Obviously it's still right, but like I just, I'm I
Speaker 3: feel nothing here. So again that's why when it comes
Speaker 3: to the other one, I stand by what I said.
Speaker 3: It wasn't just good because we were used to it
Speaker 3: and it was nostalgic. It was just a lot better,
Speaker 3: like a lot a lot better. I mean going from
Speaker 3: this to what we just heard, Like you see this
Speaker 3: is it's building. Is that a trumpet?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, see there's this. It's high energy, it's upbeat, way
Speaker 3: better than you know this And in debate night, like
Speaker 3: if I am a producer somebody who composes music, and
Speaker 3: I've got my catalog and I got those two I'm
Speaker 3: sending the new one here to the political news side.
Speaker 3: I'm sending the other one to the sports side. Like
Speaker 3: I don't think. I mean, it's terrible, and I mean
Speaker 3: it's not going to keep people from watching. But like
Speaker 3: you knew you had a brand new you know, you know,
Speaker 3: you had a brand new year. Here to you know,
