00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:25.480
<v Speaker 2>If you were listening at the very end of the

4
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.160
<v Speaker 2>last hour, you know, about five six minutes ago, you

5
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:31.640
<v Speaker 2>might have heard me say hello as I was ending

6
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:34.320
<v Speaker 2>the segment, although you may not have because Jean might

7
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 2>have already. You know, I think your mic was off

8
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.560
<v Speaker 2>because I didn't. Okay, well, I answered the phone because

9
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.399
<v Speaker 2>I was. I mean, it was it was the dealership

10
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>that has been working on my car, and I'm pretty

11
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.039
<v Speaker 2>sure they close as far as the service department at five.

12
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:48.320
<v Speaker 2>I could be wrong about that, but I'm you know,

13
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm just I'm desperate to get my car back and

14
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.359
<v Speaker 2>get this thing behind me. It's been I don't know.

15
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's it's not my fault that any of

16
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 2>this happened, to be honest with you, and I know that,

17
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 2>but like it's just been eating me alive, like just

18
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:05.799
<v Speaker 2>so pissed. And you know, I'm not somebody that usually

19
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 2>carries anger. I mean, it's not like it's you know,

20
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:10.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to lose my mind, but like, I'm

21
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>not usually somebody that lets stuff get to me that long,

22
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 2>because you know, I try my best. Some of the

23
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 2>best advice I've ever been given was, you know, don't

24
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.319
<v Speaker 2>worry about things you can't control. I can't control it

25
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 2>at this point. But then again, like if I just

26
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 2>sit back and let this process play out, I may

27
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 2>never see my car again. So, like, it's just been insane.

28
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:31.040
<v Speaker 2>So and by the way, the Neil Huffman Volkswagen Service

29
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 2>department has been phenomenal. They've been great, They've been keeping

30
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.120
<v Speaker 2>me updated. I've talked to them quite a bit, and

31
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I still have never got a phone call from AutoZone.

32
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Anytime I've talked to them, it's me calling them and

33
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 2>leaving messages, not getting a return call, and then finally

34
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>getting them on the phone. It's been unbelievable. So for

35
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 2>those who have not kept up, and I'm sure a

36
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 2>lot of you don't care, but this is just raw.

37
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 2>This is just within the last five minutes, I now

38
00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>have an update that just like I feel like I'm

39
00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:02.239
<v Speaker 2>a I'm on a like a prank show or something,

40
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>because the latest was that last week, a week ago,

41
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 2>like literally a week ago was the last time that

42
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 2>I got an update, and it was that they did

43
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>get the main fuse replaced on my Volkswagen Atlas, and

44
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.560
<v Speaker 2>from there they were able to determine that the alternator

45
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:22.159
<v Speaker 2>was also fried because of the many failed attempts to

46
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:26.439
<v Speaker 2>connect the battery backwards. So main fuse, I guess, gave

47
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.280
<v Speaker 2>them the ability to see that the other stuff was

48
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 2>an issue. And the other stuff was minor, but the

49
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 2>alternator is something. They had to order the part for it.

50
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Speaker 2>The Volkswagen dealership did, and you know, I knew that

51
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.080
<v Speaker 2>was going to take some time. So they said, probably,

52
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, within the next you know, with the next week,

53
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>you should be you should be good. So I waited

54
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 2>until six days later, and I called him earlier and

55
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 2>I was like, Hey, just wanted to touch base, and

56
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying my best to let them know, like, hey,

57
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm not worried about you guys. I'm trying not to

58
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>be a pain in your ass. But I'm just trying

59
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 2>to figure out when, because here's the thing, there's gonna

60
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:01.159
<v Speaker 2>be a good chance that I got to go get it,

61
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 2>like business hours, and I need somebody who can take

62
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.479
<v Speaker 2>me to get my car, which anybody that I know

63
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 2>that would be able to do that is usually working.

64
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 2>So I'm just trying to make arrangements to where I

65
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 2>can go get my car and stop borrowing borrowing a

66
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 2>work car. So I called him up the voicemail before

67
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.479
<v Speaker 2>the show started today. He just called me at the

68
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.960
<v Speaker 2>right about five o'clock and he gave me, you know,

69
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.039
<v Speaker 2>encouraging news that they're about to they're about to start

70
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.120
<v Speaker 2>putting the alternator in. And he also offered that like,

71
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.759
<v Speaker 2>we've got here a vehicle that while we're working on

72
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 2>yours you can use if you need. Like they've not

73
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 2>inconvenienced me at all, and they're offering to let me

74
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>use a vehicle. I mean, like that's great customer service.

75
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 2>And the hold up was that they actually got the

76
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.159
<v Speaker 2>part in earlier this week on Monday or Tuesday, but

77
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:50.199
<v Speaker 2>AutoZone said, no, we're not paying for that alternator. We're

78
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 2>we're not going to we're not going to cover an

79
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.919
<v Speaker 2>alternator that was ordered specifically for, you know, by Volkswagen,

80
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:04.120
<v Speaker 2>because you know, Volkswagen's are rare vehicle. So AutoZone delivered

81
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 2>an alternator that they can use that they're going to

82
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 2>pay for like thirty minutes ago, and that's what he

83
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>was calling to tell me that they're now going to

84
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 2>start working on. It's like I almost cursed. These clowns

85
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.360
<v Speaker 2>have are have inconvenienced me in a major way while

86
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 2>taking my money and not giving me a refund, not

87
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 2>offering to do anything to help me out, and yet

88
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>they're delaying me getting my car back because they're trying

89
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.920
<v Speaker 2>to save a few bucks. They can go all the

90
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 2>way to hell. Like, I mean, am I being pranked?

91
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 3>No, And you mentioned you almost cursed. I want to

92
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 3>curse for you. I mean, And I don't know if

93
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.759
<v Speaker 3>this is AutoZone specifically the location you went to or

94
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.480
<v Speaker 3>AutoZone in general, but I think I'm with you on

95
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:49.319
<v Speaker 3>not going to it the very least the one that

96
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 3>you went to anymore.

97
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I mean, I'll I mean, let's be real,

98
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I'll never I'll never go there again, and it'll be

99
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.639
<v Speaker 2>something this is crazy, Like maybe you know it's not

100
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.319
<v Speaker 2>gonna be something that's gonna be weighing on my mind

101
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 2>for many, many years. But this is an all timer.

102
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:07.319
<v Speaker 2>Like when it comes to like getting really terrible service,

103
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 2>which I didn't even get service.

104
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 3>I got robbed.

105
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 2>They broke my car and took my money. That is

106
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:16.079
<v Speaker 2>a robbery. That's what happened here, Like I have a

107
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.720
<v Speaker 2>hard time and ever, you know, maybe this will just

108
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 2>become a recurring thing for me, but I I have

109
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.000
<v Speaker 2>a hard time thinking I'll have a worse experience with

110
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 2>a corporation than what I've just had here, which isn't

111
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:27.720
<v Speaker 2>over yet. I still don't have my car. I mean,

112
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm hopeful that I'll get it in the next couple

113
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 2>of days. But like, you know, I will say this,

114
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 2>and this doesn't make it right. This doesn't this doesn't

115
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.720
<v Speaker 2>like this is not an excuse for them, but their

116
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:45.720
<v Speaker 2>lack of like having a process and a stretch, Like

117
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.560
<v Speaker 2>you would think that things like this happened with a

118
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.839
<v Speaker 2>big corporation and they would have a plan in place

119
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:52.680
<v Speaker 2>in what they do when this happens, and they're all

120
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 2>just kind of like, oh, I don't know, huh, But

121
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.079
<v Speaker 2>they don't work on cars. I now know why they

122
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.600
<v Speaker 2>don't know what the hell are doing, but like they don't, like,

123
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's not like they oftentimes work on vehicles

124
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.399
<v Speaker 2>and end up damaging them. And I guess I've never

125
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.519
<v Speaker 2>really thought about that. They're an autopart store, but you know,

126
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:14.360
<v Speaker 2>given you know, cars, car parts like car repair again,

127
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 2>they're not the ones doing the job, but they have

128
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.720
<v Speaker 2>got all the tools that you need to fix your car, right,

129
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Like that's I mean, I just would assume that this

130
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.879
<v Speaker 2>isn't that rare, but maybe it is because they're all

131
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 2>kind of like not. I mean, anybody I've talked to

132
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.079
<v Speaker 2>just doesn't have like they're not throwing out we've got

133
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.639
<v Speaker 2>these three options, what do you want to do? Really? Sorry,

134
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>like they just they're they're they're useless. They're useless, and

135
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.639
<v Speaker 2>because like you got a district manager, you got a

136
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:48.120
<v Speaker 2>regional center, Like they're not thinking, oh wow, this guy

137
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>who we took his money and broke his car, he's

138
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:52.480
<v Speaker 2>been without a car for two weeks, Like they're not

139
00:06:52.480 --> 00:07:01.519
<v Speaker 2>sitting around thinking about that. I'm so angry. I should

140
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.360
<v Speaker 2>have answered, I should have waited till the end of

141
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.959
<v Speaker 2>the show and listen to the voicemail, but I didn't

142
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 2>want to send it to voicemail because I wanted to

143
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:08.639
<v Speaker 2>get an update.

144
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:10.560
<v Speaker 3>And you probably thought it was going to be good

145
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:11.839
<v Speaker 3>news at this point, right.

146
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.879
<v Speaker 2>And honestly it is. And here's the thing. Me and

147
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.879
<v Speaker 2>my guy Ebro, who is the manager of the of

148
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.240
<v Speaker 2>the service department for Volkswagen within the Neil Huffman Auto group.

149
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.040
<v Speaker 2>He and I have been you know, he's looking out

150
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:25.519
<v Speaker 2>for me, Like he didn't have to tell me that,

151
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:27.439
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, Like he didn't have to

152
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>tell me that they were like that. This is why,

153
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>because I think he just, you know, he felt bad

154
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:32.920
<v Speaker 2>that it took a week for me to get some

155
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:34.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of an update. And he was explaining but like

156
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 2>he has no problem throwing ouro zone under the bus

157
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.439
<v Speaker 2>to me, Like why what you know so AutoZone can

158
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.759
<v Speaker 2>go full hole for all week here at this Yeah, yeah,

159
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:50.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean I'm a lot of times just having fun

160
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.279
<v Speaker 2>on the show and doing whatever people want to call this.

161
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:55.959
<v Speaker 2>It can distract me from real life problems and in

162
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:57.279
<v Speaker 2>the grand scheme of things, a lot of people have

163
00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:58.720
<v Speaker 2>it a lot worse than me. It's not like I'm

164
00:07:58.759 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 2>making this out. I mean I feel like you got

165
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.519
<v Speaker 2>are probably entertained by how Autozones just bent me over

166
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:06.519
<v Speaker 2>for two weeks and you know, not even not even

167
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:12.000
<v Speaker 2>giving me a break. But it sucks, but the show.

168
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.199
<v Speaker 2>Let's get back to the show and have some fun

169
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 2>and you know, not think about AutoZone a stupid company.

170
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:23.800
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, like that people ask me like

171
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 2>they might spend money. Like nobody within iHeart, people are like,

172
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.120
<v Speaker 2>are you you know a good look for you to be,

173
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, blasting big corporations. It might spend money. I

174
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.240
<v Speaker 2>don't give a damn. I don't care if they spend

175
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.639
<v Speaker 2>a billion dollars here. They don't spend any money with me,

176
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not I'm not, you know, it's just a

177
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.799
<v Speaker 2>real I mean, this really happened. I'm not making it up.

178
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:45.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm not picking on them. I'm not just you know,

179
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.639
<v Speaker 2>saying hey, this place stinks because I don't. I don't

180
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.840
<v Speaker 2>like their logo. They've they've robbed me, is what they've done.

181
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Do you think at any point in the last couple

182
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.559
<v Speaker 3>of weeks anybody at that store has heard about this

183
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.279
<v Speaker 3>being broadcast over the year.

184
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Maybe there's no the district manager has okay, but I

185
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.600
<v Speaker 2>mean but not like in a way of take it easy.

186
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:06.039
<v Speaker 3>But like.

187
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.519
<v Speaker 2>What he said was because I told him the last

188
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.360
<v Speaker 2>time I talked to this guy, when he told me, hey,

189
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 2>we're going to figure out what we can do for you,

190
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.519
<v Speaker 2>and he never called me back a week later. But

191
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:17.200
<v Speaker 2>the time I said, look, if you call me and

192
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't answer, I'm a radio host and I'm gonna

193
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:20.679
<v Speaker 2>be on the air. Please leave a message. Don't think

194
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm ignoring your call, like I want to talk to you.

195
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:25.000
<v Speaker 2>I want this update, but just know that like if

196
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:26.519
<v Speaker 2>you call a certain time, I will not be able

197
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to answer and say, oh so you're yeah, you're the

198
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:32.039
<v Speaker 2>radio guy. I heard about that, so whatever that means.

199
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:37.159
<v Speaker 2>But the going back to two weeks ago, when when

200
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.399
<v Speaker 2>this happened, when I went in the following day to

201
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.879
<v Speaker 2>kind of like recess, okay, like here, what are we doing?

202
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Like how we you know, like you know, do I

203
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:48.279
<v Speaker 2>got to make some calls here and do your job

204
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 2>for you and figure out how we get my car

205
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.039
<v Speaker 2>fixed so I can drive it. When I was telling

206
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:55.720
<v Speaker 2>the other employees the next day that we're not there

207
00:09:55.759 --> 00:10:01.000
<v Speaker 2>the night of when these two people because I don't

208
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:02.519
<v Speaker 2>think they did it on purpose, but like still they're

209
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.320
<v Speaker 2>at fault and they wouldn't deny that, but like it's

210
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:06.799
<v Speaker 2>just insane that they that that happened. But when I

211
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.039
<v Speaker 2>was telling them, like why I'm there and what's going on,

212
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:10.519
<v Speaker 2>like the look on their face, I don't think I'll

213
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:14.360
<v Speaker 2>ever forget. Like they they they were they like they

214
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:17.159
<v Speaker 2>saw ghosts. When I mentioned what happened to my like

215
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:19.080
<v Speaker 2>why am I car? What was wrong with my car?

216
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.759
<v Speaker 2>And how we got there, Like it was like they

217
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:23.960
<v Speaker 2>were wide eyed, like they just saw ghosts because they

218
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:27.320
<v Speaker 2>like couldn't believe that like that happened, but you know

219
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:30.679
<v Speaker 2>it happened, all right. It's Coffee and Company. We are

220
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.639
<v Speaker 2>fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety. My

221
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.960
<v Speaker 2>name's Nick Coffee. The company man John Alden alongside as

222
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.159
<v Speaker 2>we take you up till six o'clock, about forty five

223
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.240
<v Speaker 2>minutes left here before we wrap it up. And this

224
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.200
<v Speaker 2>is a big day today, and not because I found

225
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 2>out I should be getting my car back later this week,

226
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.399
<v Speaker 2>although I'm pretty sure we could go today. I said

227
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:52.240
<v Speaker 2>that and then I found out it wasn't getting it back.

228
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 2>But either way, this is the last day without football

229
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 2>on television to watch and wager until Bill November twenty seventh.

230
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.600
<v Speaker 2>That's Thanksgiving or after Thanksgiving. I don't know, is that Thanksgiving?

231
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.159
<v Speaker 2>There's football on Thanksgiving? So either way, we got football

232
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.919
<v Speaker 2>for the next fifty five consecutive days. Obviously we've had

233
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:14.159
<v Speaker 2>it every day but Monday, or we've had it every

234
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:16.919
<v Speaker 2>day but Tuesday and Wednesday since the season started. But

235
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>starting this upcoming week, we're going to have a little

236
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.720
<v Speaker 2>maction I believe on Wednesdays and then on Tuesdays it

237
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:30.440
<v Speaker 2>is Conference USA. So that makes me excited. But this

238
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:35.279
<v Speaker 2>week of games not many good ones. We've got no

239
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.840
<v Speaker 2>games that featured two ranked teams. And if I look

240
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:41.320
<v Speaker 2>at this ranking here from twenty four seven Sports the

241
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:44.080
<v Speaker 2>best matchups the top ten games of Week six, louisvillles

242
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 2>to use at number five, and I don't you know,

243
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.919
<v Speaker 2>I think that probably tells you from a national perspective,

244
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:56.440
<v Speaker 2>how like the schedule is this week overall. But it

245
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.679
<v Speaker 2>is a big game for both these teams. I mean Louisville,

246
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:01.919
<v Speaker 2>as we discussed yesterday, like.

247
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:02.919
<v Speaker 3>They really have.

248
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:06.799
<v Speaker 2>They have no room for error if they want to

249
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.879
<v Speaker 2>make the ACC championship game and the Notre Dame. The

250
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame loss has nothing to.

251
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:11.360
<v Speaker 3>Do with that.

252
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.480
<v Speaker 2>But what's played out here is that SMU is probably

253
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:16.720
<v Speaker 2>right now and we'll see it as early. It's tough

254
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>to really know just how good anybody is right now.

255
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.639
<v Speaker 2>But when you look at the ACC race, the two

256
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:26.039
<v Speaker 2>teams that are most likely to be there are Miami

257
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.919
<v Speaker 2>and Clemson. They don't play each other this year. If

258
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.600
<v Speaker 2>they play each other, it'll only be in the ACC

259
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Championship game. But Louisville has to play both of those teams.

260
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.159
<v Speaker 2>SMU already played Florida State, a team they thought was

261
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.200
<v Speaker 2>going to be a real challenge. They dominated them down

262
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.320
<v Speaker 2>in Dallas. So here we are in Week six where

263
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Louisville they've probably got their toughest ACC game of the

264
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:55.039
<v Speaker 2>schedule right now, that is not Miami or Clemson. So

265
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:56.879
<v Speaker 2>you know any ACC game is going to be big,

266
00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:59.080
<v Speaker 2>knowing that you've got both Clemson and Miami on your schedule.

267
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:00.879
<v Speaker 2>But this is a this is a team that I

268
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.720
<v Speaker 2>respect as far as personnel, and you know, I think

269
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Louisll's better. I think they deserve to be favorites. But

270
00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:08.120
<v Speaker 2>you got to come out ready to play. This team

271
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:10.080
<v Speaker 2>might get you. I think they're better than Georgia Tech.

272
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:15.279
<v Speaker 2>So you know, you win this one and you split

273
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:20.159
<v Speaker 2>with Miami or Clemson, that's your best case scenario to

274
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.759
<v Speaker 2>getting to the ACC Championship game. Of course, if you can,

275
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, beat the teams you're supposed to beat, and

276
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Louisville has struggled with that at times. And you know,

277
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.039
<v Speaker 2>you can lose to anybody if you don't come play well.

278
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.559
<v Speaker 2>So because SMU is I think a legitimate challenge here.

279
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Not to say that other teams won't present some type

280
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.480
<v Speaker 2>of a challenge, but you need to bounce back. You

281
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.799
<v Speaker 2>need to play clean football. Eliminate silly mistakes that are avoidable,

282
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:47.039
<v Speaker 2>eliminate sloppy penalties, get off the field on third down.

283
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:49.279
<v Speaker 2>You do those things, I think you'll come out, you'll win,

284
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.320
<v Speaker 2>and maybe you'll win big. I don't mean like blow

285
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:52.759
<v Speaker 2>them off the field, but maybe you'll win by I

286
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.360
<v Speaker 2>don't know, a couple of scores or something like that.

287
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.480
<v Speaker 2>And if you're SMU, you know they've got momentum right now.

288
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Their season looked like it was going to be a

289
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:02.720
<v Speaker 2>big disaster early on because they should have lost in Nevada.

290
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Then they lost in a really bad looking game to BYU.

291
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:08.559
<v Speaker 2>Later we learned BYU's actually pretty good. In fact, BYU

292
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:11.360
<v Speaker 2>is a top fifteen team right now, I believe. So

293
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:16.440
<v Speaker 2>they change quarterbacks and they're they're a one loss team,

294
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:19.159
<v Speaker 2>just sitting outside the top twenty five, and they look

295
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:23.039
<v Speaker 2>at this game as a big challenge for them, of course,

296
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:26.279
<v Speaker 2>but if they can get past Louisville. They're I mean,

297
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:29.240
<v Speaker 2>dare I say they're in the driver's seat for the

298
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:32.799
<v Speaker 2>ACC Championship game. I mean, again, anybody can lose to

299
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:35.600
<v Speaker 2>anybody if you don't come ready to play. And oftentimes

300
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.039
<v Speaker 2>you will see teams be in that position where they

301
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:39.679
<v Speaker 2>look like they've got the path. All they got to

302
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.159
<v Speaker 2>do is not screw up. And what do you know,

303
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:48.679
<v Speaker 2>they screwed up? But SMU schedule after this game. I mean,

304
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.919
<v Speaker 2>they've got we ran through it yesterday and I'm glad

305
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:53.559
<v Speaker 2>somebody on the text line kind of brought this up

306
00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:55.720
<v Speaker 2>because I wouldn't have I don't think I would have

307
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:56.559
<v Speaker 2>thought to look at it.

308
00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:58.120
<v Speaker 3>But they've got.

309
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Stanford, Duke, Pittsburgh, Boston College, Virginia, and Cal. Again, they

310
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:08.039
<v Speaker 2>could lose to those teams, but they lost to BYU.

311
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.679
<v Speaker 2>They beat a decent to good TCU team. I don't know,

312
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe I'm lying there. I thought TCU was solid.

313
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they're not. But maybe I'm still giving Sunny Dyke's

314
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:16.919
<v Speaker 2>lot of credit. But they beat the hell out of

315
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.440
<v Speaker 2>them sixty six to forty two, beat Florida State forty

316
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.519
<v Speaker 2>two to sixteen. So if they can get past Louisville,

317
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:25.519
<v Speaker 2>and look, it would be an upset. And if Louisville

318
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.279
<v Speaker 2>loses here, then you know, we gotta start evaluating some things.

319
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:29.960
<v Speaker 2>We got to call it out like it is and say, hey,

320
00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:31.679
<v Speaker 2>we know the Loisvel's got the personnel to be good,

321
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:33.960
<v Speaker 2>but right now they're not a good football team. I mean,

322
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:36.080
<v Speaker 2>they can change that, but we got to if you're

323
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.600
<v Speaker 2>assessing things as you go. If you lose to Notre

324
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Dame with so many mistakes that you made, you played

325
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:44.159
<v Speaker 2>sloppy football, and you somehow come out and lose to SMU,

326
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:46.559
<v Speaker 2>we'll know that they can be better. But you are

327
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:50.240
<v Speaker 2>who you are. And if SMU can beat Louisville at

328
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.919
<v Speaker 2>Louisville doesn't mean it's impossible for them to slip up

329
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:55.519
<v Speaker 2>and lose to any of these other teams. But still

330
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:58.519
<v Speaker 2>they should feel like they can take care of business

331
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:00.240
<v Speaker 2>and beat all those teams. I mean, who's the best

332
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.600
<v Speaker 2>team out of those? I know, Duke's unbeaten, but like Duke,

333
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.360
<v Speaker 2>maybe the first it's Duke four and oh five and

334
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:07.480
<v Speaker 2>oh I think they're five and oh they haven't had

335
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.159
<v Speaker 2>a buy yet. Yeah, this is the first Duke five

336
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:13.759
<v Speaker 2>and oh team. I think ever, I think it might

337
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:15.840
<v Speaker 2>be the first time Duke started a season five and

338
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.519
<v Speaker 2>oh in program history, So maybe I'm not giving them

339
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:24.279
<v Speaker 2>enough credit, but they beat Elon, Northwestern, survived Yukon, Middle

340
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:27.399
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee State, and beat North Carolina about one point in

341
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.559
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina might in fact be the worst team in

342
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.279
<v Speaker 2>the ACC. That's not an exaggeration, by the way. So

343
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, Duke's got Georgia Tech, Florida State in SMU,

344
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:39.159
<v Speaker 2>and Miami in their next four games. Wouldn't be shocked

345
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:41.799
<v Speaker 2>if we revisit the conversation in November and they're five

346
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.360
<v Speaker 2>and four, not not kidding, And I know Florida State's

347
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:48.399
<v Speaker 2>looking looking down, but like, if Florida State can beat

348
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:50.960
<v Speaker 2>cal they can beat Duke, and maybe many do. Guys

349
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:52.759
<v Speaker 2>has success their long term, but like, I don't think

350
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:55.799
<v Speaker 2>Duke right now is a team that, like you can,

351
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:59.279
<v Speaker 2>you can look at as a ACC type contender. And

352
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:01.200
<v Speaker 2>they should have lost Northwestern, they ended up beating them

353
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.079
<v Speaker 2>in double overtime. So it's a big game for both

354
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:09.160
<v Speaker 2>teams and that has me excited. But I'm just hoping

355
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Louisville can come out and it'd be different if you

356
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:15.920
<v Speaker 2>came back from Notre Dame feeling like, oh, oh, we were humbled.

357
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:18.880
<v Speaker 2>We didn't realize we're not anywhere near where we need

358
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.039
<v Speaker 2>to be. We don't have the personnel we thought we had.

359
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.319
<v Speaker 2>But that's not the takeaway, at least for me. I

360
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:27.519
<v Speaker 2>would love to see much better pass protection for Tyler Shuck.

361
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:29.680
<v Speaker 2>But I'm also willing to acknowledge Notre Dames really good

362
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:34.480
<v Speaker 2>upfront defensively, But it's just about the little things. And yes,

363
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:41.960
<v Speaker 2>they are easily fixable, but sometimes teams commit silly penalties,

364
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:49.000
<v Speaker 2>make boneheaded mistakes, avoidable mistakes, and are just sloppy. And

365
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:50.720
<v Speaker 2>you know it's an easy fix. You know that it's

366
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:53.240
<v Speaker 2>not like you got to go make changes to the roster.

367
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:58.000
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to completely change your style and identity.

368
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:01.160
<v Speaker 2>It's just, you know, cleaning it up. But some teams

369
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:03.359
<v Speaker 2>know that and still get eight nine games in and

370
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:05.160
<v Speaker 2>that's what they do every week and it becomes part

371
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:07.279
<v Speaker 2>of their identity. I have a hard time thinking that's

372
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:09.839
<v Speaker 2>what happens with Louisville. But again, in real games against

373
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:12.359
<v Speaker 2>real teams, they were sloppy in both of those and

374
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm hopeful that they come out and are sharp and

375
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.160
<v Speaker 2>ready to play and put together a performance that gets

376
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.160
<v Speaker 2>to a win that I think will have some value.

377
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:23.319
<v Speaker 2>You're not gonna it's not like you're gonna jump up

378
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:27.200
<v Speaker 2>in the rankings by getting a win, but it certainly needed,

379
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:29.400
<v Speaker 2>no doubt. A couple of you on the text line

380
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.359
<v Speaker 2>have said that our previous guests there, who by the way,

381
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.359
<v Speaker 2>is really good, really good. I've just reached out to

382
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:38.240
<v Speaker 2>that guy today, Bill and Body and asked if he'd

383
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:40.599
<v Speaker 2>be interested in joining me, and he was great, really

384
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:43.519
<v Speaker 2>informative about the SMU side of things. And a couple

385
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:45.960
<v Speaker 2>of you have said that he scared you about SMU. Well,

386
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:47.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he was intending to do that.

387
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:51.480
<v Speaker 2>He didn't scare me, but you know, they do have

388
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:54.079
<v Speaker 2>some pretty good personnel on the portal. Like a lot

389
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:56.799
<v Speaker 2>of teams, right, they've played better football as of late.

390
00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:58.759
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I'm not ready to act like I

391
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.920
<v Speaker 2>think this SMUT team is, you know, a team that

392
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.519
<v Speaker 2>Louisville just can't match up with, but there's certainly a

393
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:07.240
<v Speaker 2>team that if you don't play well, they'll they'll take

394
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:09.640
<v Speaker 2>advantage of that. And I think rhet Ashley is a

395
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:14.519
<v Speaker 2>is a really really good coach for them. You got

396
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:16.759
<v Speaker 2>to wonder, like maybe if they if they start winning

397
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:19.319
<v Speaker 2>at a high level and he gets offers to go

398
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:22.440
<v Speaker 2>elsewhere like they got money at SMU, to where they'll say,

399
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.200
<v Speaker 2>uh no, we'll pay him double what Alabama can pay him.

400
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Not that he would ever get that job, but just

401
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:30.640
<v Speaker 2>a job like that, And that sounds crazy. But if

402
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:34.240
<v Speaker 2>you listen to the conversation and you've read about the

403
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:37.960
<v Speaker 2>financial situation for SMU with the billionaires that support them,

404
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.079
<v Speaker 2>that's billion with a B, they really could if they

405
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:44.000
<v Speaker 2>wanted to double the salary that any job would offer.

406
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:46.799
<v Speaker 2>And maybe he doesn't end up having enough success to

407
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:48.799
<v Speaker 2>where that's the case. But one thing that would really

408
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.160
<v Speaker 2>eat at me if I was SMU is that before

409
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.599
<v Speaker 2>Rhet Lashley was their coach, Sunny Dyke's was their coach.

410
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.920
<v Speaker 2>They let him go. He was thirty and eighteen. I'm sorry,

411
00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:02.680
<v Speaker 2>I think he might have left.

412
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:04.200
<v Speaker 3>He's with tc now.

413
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:05.720
<v Speaker 2>I believe he is, but I don't know if he

414
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:07.279
<v Speaker 2>got fired or if he left. And that's a huge

415
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:13.720
<v Speaker 2>component here because I feel like he left and that

416
00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:16.519
<v Speaker 2>is a better job because SMU was in the American

417
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:20.200
<v Speaker 2>and TCU was in the Big twelve at the time

418
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:22.559
<v Speaker 2>and they still are. But like he left there and

419
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:24.839
<v Speaker 2>then took them to a championship game in what his

420
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:29.000
<v Speaker 2>first year. So if you're SMU, you got to think, like,

421
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:33.240
<v Speaker 2>damn what, we had something special and either he left

422
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:35.200
<v Speaker 2>or we fired him. But RT lastly, again he hasn't

423
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:37.559
<v Speaker 2>taken him to a championship, but he has he has

424
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:40.799
<v Speaker 2>had some success there that that you know, was giving

425
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:42.920
<v Speaker 2>them some real momentum. I mean, I know I was

426
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:44.319
<v Speaker 2>in Some of you have reminded me that I was

427
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:47.880
<v Speaker 2>mocking SMU in a major way because they were hyped

428
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:49.880
<v Speaker 2>up as this team that could compete for the league.

429
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:52.039
<v Speaker 2>And what I didn't realize is that some of that

430
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:54.640
<v Speaker 2>when people are throwing up percentages to win the league,

431
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:56.319
<v Speaker 2>they're not basing it off of how good they think

432
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:58.039
<v Speaker 2>the team is. They're basing it off of the schedule.

433
00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:00.720
<v Speaker 2>And even if Florida State was as good as advertised

434
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and that was their only loss, they still have a

435
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:05.440
<v Speaker 2>very favorable schedule, just like Louisville had last year. But

436
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:08.200
<v Speaker 2>since they've changed quarterbacks. You know, I watched them against

437
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:10.799
<v Speaker 2>Nevada because I bet on it, and I remember getting

438
00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:12.079
<v Speaker 2>that one right because I just thought it was way

439
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:14.480
<v Speaker 2>too many points, Like, wasn't it like twenty something points.

440
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:15.039
<v Speaker 3>It was a lot.

441
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was insane, and I just felt like, Okay, yeah,

442
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:20.319
<v Speaker 2>they're good. They'll probably win big. They should have lost.

443
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:23.240
<v Speaker 2>They were lucky to win, and then they lost to BYU,

444
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:26.000
<v Speaker 2>who we now know is really good. They've changed quarterbacks

445
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:28.599
<v Speaker 2>and they're in a good position. So I'm excited for

446
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:30.759
<v Speaker 2>this game. You know. I think we're going to learn

447
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:32.599
<v Speaker 2>about Louisville in a major way. Not to say that

448
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:35.759
<v Speaker 2>a big win means they're destined for the ACC title,

449
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:38.160
<v Speaker 2>but it'll be a nice response if they come out,

450
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:40.480
<v Speaker 2>play well and get a big get a big victory.

451
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:42.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'm over it already, at least for the

452
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:45.559
<v Speaker 2>time being. Phone's blowing up, though, so I don't know

453
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.039
<v Speaker 2>if like I got somebody calling me, I don't know.

454
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:50.079
<v Speaker 2>We'll see. Don't go anywhere. It'sffee and company. Feel abou

455
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Thorton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety Life in

456
00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:56.839
<v Speaker 2>the fast lane? Is that you kicking me while I'm

457
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:58.039
<v Speaker 2>down without a vehicle? John?

458
00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:01.359
<v Speaker 3>Now, this is you getting your vehicle after the fact.

459
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully it happens. I don't want to say I believe

460
00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:07.000
<v Speaker 2>it when I see it, because it's in the hands

461
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:12.160
<v Speaker 2>now of the dealership, and they've been great, but you know,

462
00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:15.319
<v Speaker 2>I still go back to what he said last week

463
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:17.960
<v Speaker 2>when he told me, you know, before we can release

464
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:20.079
<v Speaker 2>the vehicle to you, somebody has to pay. And I

465
00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:24.839
<v Speaker 2>just my heart sunk because I'm thinking, I mean, should

466
00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I expect them to follow through? No, But they did

467
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:30.480
<v Speaker 2>show up and try to pay before they were alerted

468
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.559
<v Speaker 2>that there's actually more damage to it. So hopefully they

469
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:35.839
<v Speaker 2>make another trip out there. But like, wouldn't that mean,

470
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:39.400
<v Speaker 2>like I can't say, I'd be shocked if like I

471
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:41.240
<v Speaker 2>can't get my car back unless I pay.

472
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:43.119
<v Speaker 3>For it, Like, man, that could be.

473
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:45.519
<v Speaker 2>That would be I mean, what am I gonna do?

474
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:47.880
<v Speaker 2>You just bend over and take it like I have been,

475
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:48.279
<v Speaker 2>I guess.

476
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:53.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I mean if you were, you're spinning your

477
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:54.880
<v Speaker 4>wheels a little bit like I am, because you're sitting

478
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:56.480
<v Speaker 4>here probably thinking like, well, there's no like there's no

479
00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:58.599
<v Speaker 4>way they can legally do this, but like, you know,

480
00:22:59.039 --> 00:22:59.799
<v Speaker 4>what am I going to do?

481
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Call the cops? I mean I are a lawyer. I

482
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:04.880
<v Speaker 2>mean I need my car, eat the cost and fight

483
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:06.880
<v Speaker 2>them in quart or something like that's the problem, like

484
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:08.680
<v Speaker 2>you've had, and then I have to pay for a

485
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:12.359
<v Speaker 2>lawyer and then they probably have way more resources to like,

486
00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:13.759
<v Speaker 2>you know.

487
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:17.240
<v Speaker 3>They seem like they can't afford a better alternator for you.

488
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh, they can afford. They can afford anything. And that's

489
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:21.119
<v Speaker 2>what that's what pisses me off, is that they're just

490
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:23.319
<v Speaker 2>they're fighting small.

491
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:25.079
<v Speaker 3>They need to afford better employees.

492
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:28.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that's for damn sure. All right, it's Coffee

493
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:31.039
<v Speaker 2>and Company fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

494
00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:35.960
<v Speaker 2>If you have kids that attend JCPS, you need to

495
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:38.440
<v Speaker 2>send their ass to school. I just saw this from

496
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:43.519
<v Speaker 2>our phenomenal hard working reporter Paul Miles or News Radio

497
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:45.480
<v Speaker 2>eight forty w h as he put this out earlier

498
00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:48.599
<v Speaker 2>on Twitter. The JCPS says they're going to be enforcing

499
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.680
<v Speaker 2>a new truancy law this month, so students in grades

500
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.279
<v Speaker 2>K through five who accumulate fifteen or more unexcused absences

501
00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:59.880
<v Speaker 2>will be referred to the county attorney and parents and

502
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:04.319
<v Speaker 2>alreadians could face criminal charges. That sound serious, But I

503
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:07.079
<v Speaker 2>think I feel like I've always believed that, like you know,

504
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:09.039
<v Speaker 2>you can get in trouble legally if your kids not

505
00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:10.960
<v Speaker 2>going to school. So I don't know, maybe this just

506
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:14.519
<v Speaker 2>could speed up that process to where they'll be making

507
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:19.200
<v Speaker 2>examples out of people. And as many kids that are

508
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:23.279
<v Speaker 2>in the JCPS school system K through five, is that

509
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:27.720
<v Speaker 2>like elementary school? I could, yes, Okay, Like I bet

510
00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:31.880
<v Speaker 2>there's a ton that have fifteen or more unexcused absences,

511
00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:35.640
<v Speaker 2>not because like it's a school system full of terrible kids,

512
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:38.279
<v Speaker 2>but just look, just do the numbers. There's so many kids,

513
00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:42.759
<v Speaker 2>and of the however many, there are a lot. I mean,

514
00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I bet there's a lot that missed school, probably for

515
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.720
<v Speaker 2>sad reasons too, or just because you know, maybe you know,

516
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, And I would assume what qualifies for

517
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.160
<v Speaker 2>an excused absence is like being sick or an appointment

518
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:57.759
<v Speaker 2>or death in the family. Like I'm sure there's a

519
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:00.319
<v Speaker 2>long list of things that are excused, but like just

520
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.599
<v Speaker 2>not showing up and not being able to give them

521
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:06.240
<v Speaker 2>a valid reason, Like you do that enough.

522
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.079
<v Speaker 3>Litl Like if we do that a couple times, maybe

523
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:13.079
<v Speaker 3>not even a couple you know, in a job, maybe

524
00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:14.759
<v Speaker 3>not necessarily this job. I don't know. I don't want

525
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:17.000
<v Speaker 3>to speak for anybody who works for this company, but

526
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:18.680
<v Speaker 3>like we'd be canned quickly.

527
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:22.000
<v Speaker 2>And my daughter is is in and you have to

528
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:23.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you have to have some accountability. It's not

529
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:27.000
<v Speaker 2>that it's not that they probably just assume any kid

530
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.559
<v Speaker 2>that missed school is is lying about being sick. But

531
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:32.839
<v Speaker 2>there's a reason they ask you for a doctor's note

532
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:35.839
<v Speaker 2>because you know, if they didn't at least request that,

533
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:38.559
<v Speaker 2>then people would take advantage of it. That's that's life.

534
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:41.359
<v Speaker 2>But anytimes, like every Monday, I take my daughter to

535
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:43.799
<v Speaker 2>speech therapy and when we leave the office, they give

536
00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:46.200
<v Speaker 2>me a note that I that I take in whenever

537
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I sign her into school that shows that she's that

538
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:50.920
<v Speaker 2>she's you know, there's any there's a reason she wasn't here,

539
00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:54.000
<v Speaker 2>she's late because of that. And if I don't have it,

540
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:57.160
<v Speaker 2>like sometimes the doctor's office will forget to give it

541
00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:59.359
<v Speaker 2>to me or I forget to ask for it, and

542
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:02.160
<v Speaker 2>and they'll fact send one. But until they faxed it in,

543
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:04.880
<v Speaker 2>that's an unexcused absence from from my kid. Not that

544
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:07.920
<v Speaker 2>they're like, you know, thinking we're lying, but it's just protocol.

545
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.240
<v Speaker 2>It's processed that you have to follow. So you know,

546
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:13.720
<v Speaker 2>I kind of feel like this will be something that

547
00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:16.240
<v Speaker 2>that ends up being back in the news because they'll

548
00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:19.880
<v Speaker 2>be there'll be people who get who face criminal charges

549
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:24.799
<v Speaker 2>because you know, they're not sending their kids to school. So,

550
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:27.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, I just thought that was worth sharing because

551
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I know we probably have a lot of JCPS parents

552
00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:31.720
<v Speaker 2>out there that have kids in the in the school system,

553
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:33.799
<v Speaker 2>and you know, not only if they're going to miss,

554
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:36.240
<v Speaker 2>they may miss for a legitimate reason, but you're probably

555
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:38.319
<v Speaker 2>gonna need to make sure you've got some type of

556
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:41.440
<v Speaker 2>documentation and proof that they're they're missing for you know,

557
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:46.400
<v Speaker 2>the right reason. All right, So I talked about yesterday,

558
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:49.519
<v Speaker 2>but I never really got to it. I watched a

559
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Netflix series nine episodes roughly, you know, fifty minutes each,

560
00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:59.680
<v Speaker 2>I think it was. I watched an entire series in

561
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:04.519
<v Speaker 2>one day, like actually two days. It took me two days,

562
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:10.200
<v Speaker 2>well a day, yeah, day and a half essentially, And

563
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:17.119
<v Speaker 2>it's so good. It's called Monsters. The Menendez Brothers, and

564
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:21.960
<v Speaker 2>I remember reading about this whole story years ago because

565
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:24.839
<v Speaker 2>I remember, you know, and it's a crazy story by

566
00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:26.240
<v Speaker 2>the way, for those who don't know. I mean, it's

567
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:29.920
<v Speaker 2>about two rich snobs who murdered their parents. I mean,

568
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:35.400
<v Speaker 2>just took shotguns to their head and just blew them away.

569
00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:37.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and I'm not spoiling anything, because one, it's

570
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:39.720
<v Speaker 2>a well known story what they did, but also it's

571
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:41.960
<v Speaker 2>quite literally the first thing you see when the show starts.

572
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:44.759
<v Speaker 2>It's one way to get your attention, and you know,

573
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:48.319
<v Speaker 2>it's a wild story. And I remember, like years ago,

574
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:52.359
<v Speaker 2>hearing about it and thinking like, wow, that's crazy. I mean,

575
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:53.920
<v Speaker 2>it makes sense why I don't remember it happened, like

576
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:58.680
<v Speaker 2>I think nineteen nineties when it took place, and you know,

577
00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:01.119
<v Speaker 2>I was a baby at that time. But for years,

578
00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was a year's long story covered by

579
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:09.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, the Hollywood gossip TMZ type stuff before TMZ existed,

580
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:11.519
<v Speaker 2>So I don't remember it, but I remember reading about it.

581
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.799
<v Speaker 2>And I usually hesitate to watch these type of shows

582
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:16.920
<v Speaker 2>or movies that are based on a true story when

583
00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:18.640
<v Speaker 2>I already know what happened, because I feel like I

584
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:21.400
<v Speaker 2>don't need to watch that. I know that they killed

585
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:24.119
<v Speaker 2>their parents, I know that, you know, I know how

586
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:27.440
<v Speaker 2>it played out with OJ Simpson. But yet any time

587
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:29.720
<v Speaker 2>I have actually decided to give these shows a shot,

588
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:31.759
<v Speaker 2>they're really really well done. I mean, I like anything

589
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:34.359
<v Speaker 2>that's based somewhat off of a true story, but it's

590
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:36.960
<v Speaker 2>really good if you haven't I mean I checked earlier today.

591
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:38.720
<v Speaker 2>It's still I think number one or number two in

592
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:42.799
<v Speaker 2>the top ten in the Netflix rankings. But it's I mean,

593
00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:46.599
<v Speaker 2>really well done. Takes place in the late eighties early nineties,

594
00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:48.720
<v Speaker 2>which you know there was some noschalga there for me,

595
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:53.559
<v Speaker 2>but Lyle and Eric Menendez, you know, they were convicted

596
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:56.440
<v Speaker 2>in ninety six of murdering their parents, and just the

597
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.799
<v Speaker 2>whole story itself, and it leaves you. And that's what

598
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:02.960
<v Speaker 2>a good show does, Like it leaves you still thinking

599
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.279
<v Speaker 2>about the story because you don't really know, okay, what

600
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:12.400
<v Speaker 2>they alleged happened. How believable is it? So you know,

601
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:14.640
<v Speaker 2>if you're looking for something to binge and really get

602
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:18.160
<v Speaker 2>hooked on that, I mean that that show was. It's

603
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:19.839
<v Speaker 2>one of the best shows I've watched on Netflix. I

604
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:22.279
<v Speaker 2>think the only two shows I've brought up in the

605
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:24.640
<v Speaker 2>last year or so where I was like, Okay, I

606
00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:27.440
<v Speaker 2>got through this really quickly because it consumed me. It

607
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:30.559
<v Speaker 2>was this and Beef, which I still recommend for those

608
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:32.240
<v Speaker 2>who haven't seen it on Netflix. I don't think that

609
00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:33.599
<v Speaker 2>got a whole lot of love, but it was really

610
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:36.799
<v Speaker 2>really well done. Beef that is, so check it out

611
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:38.880
<v Speaker 2>if you get a chance. And for those wondering, like

612
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:40.519
<v Speaker 2>how the hell could you finish that? Do you have

613
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:43.359
<v Speaker 2>a life? Yes, Like what I'll do is I will

614
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:48.240
<v Speaker 2>like yesterday or no, it was Monday. Monday, I went

615
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.079
<v Speaker 2>through like the majority of the show. So I started

616
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:54.440
<v Speaker 2>at the gym, watched a couple of episodes while I

617
00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:58.200
<v Speaker 2>was on the treadmill, and then I ended up going

618
00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:00.079
<v Speaker 2>home doing some laundry and I just had it on

619
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:02.759
<v Speaker 2>the iPad I'm doing stuff around the house, got through

620
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:06.359
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of it, and then on Tuesday night or

621
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:09.240
<v Speaker 2>was it Tuesday night? In fact, actually I finished it yesterday,

622
00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:10.599
<v Speaker 2>so I finished it in less than twenty four hours.

623
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:14.319
<v Speaker 2>For reason, I was thinking I started it today's Wednesday, right, Yes,

624
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:17.160
<v Speaker 2>So I started Monday and I finished it on I

625
00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:20.039
<v Speaker 2>finished it yesterday afternoon, so I watched a bunch during

626
00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:21.799
<v Speaker 2>the day while I was just at home when I

627
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:24.960
<v Speaker 2>was at the gym, and then on Monday night I

628
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:27.720
<v Speaker 2>watched a couple more episodes, and then yesterday same the

629
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:29.920
<v Speaker 2>same thing. I went to the gym, watched a couple

630
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:32.480
<v Speaker 2>more and then finished it when I was eating lunch.

631
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:36.000
<v Speaker 2>So because of like technology and iPads, like I can

632
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:38.319
<v Speaker 2>I can carry my iPad on its stand and like

633
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:41.000
<v Speaker 2>go to room to room doing like chores and stuff

634
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:45.279
<v Speaker 2>and just being somewhat productive. But also, you know, watching

635
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:47.960
<v Speaker 2>a show that I was really into. When's the last

636
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:50.720
<v Speaker 2>time you watched a new show? John? And I don't

637
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:52.440
<v Speaker 2>say that to like make funny. I'm just saying, like,

638
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:55.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't binge. A lot of shows binge, but just like,

639
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:56.559
<v Speaker 2>try a new show that you liked.

640
00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Man, it's just it's not recently not your bag, right,

641
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:02.000
<v Speaker 3>and got all the way through it was ted Lasso,

642
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:03.960
<v Speaker 3>and I heard they're making another season of that, which

643
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:07.000
<v Speaker 3>they don't need to. I mean, I hate I hate

644
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:08.759
<v Speaker 3>that they're kind of milking it because I think it

645
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:11.559
<v Speaker 3>ended nearly perfectly, and I think most people who saw

646
00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:14.480
<v Speaker 3>ted Lasso would agree with that. I'll probably watch it.

647
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:16.519
<v Speaker 3>I mean, maybe it'll expand on it and make it,

648
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:19.839
<v Speaker 3>you know, fine, But I have a hard time believing

649
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:23.039
<v Speaker 3>that they'll find a way to end it as well

650
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:24.599
<v Speaker 3>as they did with the third season.

651
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:29.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's a lot of shows that go longer than

652
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:31.400
<v Speaker 2>they need to, but I feel like ted Lasso can

653
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:33.359
<v Speaker 2>do one season that may not be needed and it

654
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:35.440
<v Speaker 2>won't do a whole lot of damage because that is

655
00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:38.240
<v Speaker 2>such a popular show. It's one of a few shows

656
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:41.240
<v Speaker 2>that i've that I've I can't think of anybody who's

657
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:43.920
<v Speaker 2>told me they watched it and didn't really really like it,

658
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:45.440
<v Speaker 2>not just say that they were a fan, but like

659
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:46.759
<v Speaker 2>they thought it was one of the better shows they

660
00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:49.599
<v Speaker 2>watched in a long time. So I still haven't watched

661
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:53.359
<v Speaker 2>it yet, but and honestly, it just doesn't to me.

662
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:55.559
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing. The only thing that would make me watch

663
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:57.160
<v Speaker 2>it is because I hear how great it is. Yeah,

664
00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:01.279
<v Speaker 2>the overall, Like I mean, it just does and it's

665
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:04.039
<v Speaker 2>not my cup of tea. As far as the type

666
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:06.279
<v Speaker 2>of show that it is, it's kind of like a comedy,

667
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:09.079
<v Speaker 2>feel good show, right, Yeah, that's just not really not that,

668
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:11.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, I would say that it's bad. It's just

669
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:12.200
<v Speaker 2>not something that interests me.

670
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:15.119
<v Speaker 3>But I think there's a lot of things that they

671
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:19.119
<v Speaker 3>tackle that you would enjoy and relate with, specifically once

672
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:21.759
<v Speaker 3>they get into the second season rarely.

673
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:23.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there are the two shows that I just

674
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:25.920
<v Speaker 2>assume I would like because I would be on an

675
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:28.720
<v Speaker 2>island by myself as Ted Lasso and Game of Thrones,

676
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:32.240
<v Speaker 2>and eventually I'll watch probably both of them. But what

677
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:34.200
<v Speaker 2>was it Bennetti said about He.

678
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:35.799
<v Speaker 3>Said, it'll make you a better person.

679
00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:40.160
<v Speaker 2>You better person watching watching Ted Lasso will make you

680
00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:42.200
<v Speaker 2>a better person. No, he never exaggerates, does he.

681
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:42.480
<v Speaker 1>No.

682
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:47.200
<v Speaker 2>So realignment has been active here lately, but not really

683
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:48.920
<v Speaker 2>with the big conferences, So it just hasn't got enough

684
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:51.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of attention. But the Mountain West and then

685
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:56.960
<v Speaker 2>the Mountain West Plus essentially, which is this new PAC twelve. Uh,

686
00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:00.200
<v Speaker 2>there's no big update that I wanted to share with you,

687
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:03.960
<v Speaker 2>but just some numbers that kind of make, you know,

688
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:06.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of make it make sense. So UTEP is joining

689
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:09.559
<v Speaker 2>the Mountain West, a league that apparently they've been trying

690
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:11.000
<v Speaker 2>to get into a long for a long time. They've

691
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:13.240
<v Speaker 2>been in Conference USA since two thousand and five. So

692
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:18.440
<v Speaker 2>when Louisville departed Conference USA to go to the Big East,

693
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:19.880
<v Speaker 2>and they you know, and they weren't the only one

694
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:22.359
<v Speaker 2>that did that. UTEP is one of those schools that

695
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.559
<v Speaker 2>join Conference USA and they've been stuck in that league

696
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:26.200
<v Speaker 2>since then. And Conference USSA has lost a lot of

697
00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:28.720
<v Speaker 2>schools since then, right, I mean TCU I think was

698
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:31.799
<v Speaker 2>in the league at the time that happened. So they've

699
00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:33.839
<v Speaker 2>been trying to get out and the Mountain West doesn't

700
00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:37.480
<v Speaker 2>look like a you know, an elite league by any means,

701
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.359
<v Speaker 2>especially when you can when you look at the teams

702
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:41.680
<v Speaker 2>that they've lost. I still think both leagues are going

703
00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:43.079
<v Speaker 2>to be pretty similar, to be honest with you, from

704
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:46.559
<v Speaker 2>a football standpoint. But to UTEP, this is huge. Just

705
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:50.279
<v Speaker 2>to give you an example, UTEP's television deal with Conference

706
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:55.200
<v Speaker 2>USA is estimated to be worth four hundred thousand dollars.

707
00:33:57.119 --> 00:33:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's a lot of money to you and

708
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:03.119
<v Speaker 2>I that's probably money that is a you know, just

709
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:05.759
<v Speaker 2>looking at that number, I'd say that stands out a

710
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:10.360
<v Speaker 2>little more than it does to other big schools. But

711
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:13.519
<v Speaker 2>just moving to the Mountain West, you're thinking, yeah, Conference

712
00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:16.760
<v Speaker 2>ussay Mountain West, you know, same thing, kinda well know,

713
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:20.159
<v Speaker 2>So this move is going to take utup from making

714
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:23.639
<v Speaker 2>four hundred k annually from their TV deal with Conference

715
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:27.119
<v Speaker 2>USA to be making four million annually with the Mountain West.

716
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:32.320
<v Speaker 2>So that's putting them on a different planet. And then

717
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:34.800
<v Speaker 2>so it's a no brainer. But then you see Texas

718
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.639
<v Speaker 2>State they turn down the Mountain West to stay in

719
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:39.239
<v Speaker 2>the Sun Belt. And by the way, the Sun Belt

720
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:40.679
<v Speaker 2>does have a better deal than Conference USA.

721
00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:42.000
<v Speaker 3>For football.

722
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:46.360
<v Speaker 2>But let's just say the new Mountain West deal is

723
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:48.800
<v Speaker 2>four million annually, because that's what it is now. It's

724
00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:51.119
<v Speaker 2>going to be worth more whenever they get a new deal.

725
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:52.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how much more of it. Let's say

726
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:56.039
<v Speaker 2>it's six million, five million, even they're making two point four.

727
00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Texas State is in the Sun Belt and they decided

728
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:02.360
<v Speaker 2>to stay in the Sun Belt at two point four

729
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:05.360
<v Speaker 2>instead of going to the Mountain West getting probably more

730
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:08.880
<v Speaker 2>than four. My only guess would be that this is

731
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:11.480
<v Speaker 2>what makes the most sense for them for what it

732
00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:15.599
<v Speaker 2>would cost being a school that is in Texas having

733
00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:21.599
<v Speaker 2>to travel to schools that are mostly in you know, California, Colorado, Arizona,

734
00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:24.599
<v Speaker 2>that kind of stuff. So I don't know like that.

735
00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:26.760
<v Speaker 2>That seems like an obvious move when it comes to

736
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:28.920
<v Speaker 2>the big jump and pay, but there would be added

737
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:30.880
<v Speaker 2>costs that might make it just not worth it. I would,

738
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:33.360
<v Speaker 2>and I think that's why you see schools like Memphis

739
00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:36.760
<v Speaker 2>just decide that, you know, yeah, we'd probably look like

740
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:38.760
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a better neighborhood for us, but

741
00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:43.400
<v Speaker 2>it would be a lot more hassle and it really

742
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:46.320
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be a big payoff for us in the end.

743
00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:47.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break will come back on the other side.

744
00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Wrap this thing up. It's Coffee and Company. Feel abou

745
00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:54.440

748
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:03.079
<v Speaker 2>I guess that's a good thing. I think it's a

749
00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:03.400
<v Speaker 2>good thing.

750
00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:05.599
<v Speaker 3>Right, had a lot to talk about.

751
00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:07.800

<v Speaker 2>So thanks for hanging out with us. If you've missed anything,

753

<v Speaker 2>be sure to check out the podcast. You can find

754
00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:13.880
<v Speaker 2>it on the iHeart Radio app. You can also find

755
00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:18.480
<v Speaker 2>it on the Apple podcast app, and I believe there's

756
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:20.199
<v Speaker 2>other spots, but I don't know for sure, but I

757
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:23.400
<v Speaker 2>recommend you get it on the iHeart Radio app. I

758
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:26.119
<v Speaker 2>also recommend you keep Jefferson Animal Hospital in mind when

759
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:29.719
<v Speaker 2>it comes to keeping your pets healthy. I've talked a

760
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:31.559
<v Speaker 2>lot about how they're there for you in case of

761
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:35.159
<v Speaker 2>an emergency, which is true, and that's valuable any day, anytime,

762
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:37.719
<v Speaker 2>even holidays, Christmas. They've got a doctor on site in

763
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:39.960
<v Speaker 2>case an emergency happens, So please do keep that in

764
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:41.679
<v Speaker 2>mind and know that if an emergency does happen, you

765
00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:42.920
<v Speaker 2>can rely on them, but it doesn't have to be

766
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:45.000
<v Speaker 2>an emergency. It could be you just wanting to get

767
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:48.039
<v Speaker 2>your pets checked out. Maybe they haven't been checked had

768
00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:49.880
<v Speaker 2>to check up in quite some time. So you can

769
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:52.119
<v Speaker 2>call them, make an appointment, or just stop in and

770
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:54.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, talk to them. They'll be happy to see it.

771

<v Speaker 2>we're about out of time here. I guess I'll remind

776
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:11.840
<v Speaker 2>you to make sure you remember to to to tune

777
00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:15.400
<v Speaker 2>us in for for game day the noon kick in.

778
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:19.679
<v Speaker 2>It being SMU and so many people making the trip

779
00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:21.800
<v Speaker 2>to Notre Dame. A few people have asked what I

780
00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:23.440
<v Speaker 2>think the crowd's going to be like? And I usually

781
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:28.000
<v Speaker 2>try to avoid that, avoid that that question because one,

782
00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:30.480
<v Speaker 2>I you know, I think we're a fan base that

783
00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:33.840
<v Speaker 2>it's honestly pretty tough to figure out what the crowd's

784
00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:36.679
<v Speaker 2>gonna look like for certain games. I would say, you know,

785
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:42.719
<v Speaker 2>more often than not. You know, we we are a

786
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:45.159
<v Speaker 2>crowd of fan base that'll that'll show up in a

787
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:48.000
<v Speaker 2>major way for a big event, a big game. I mean,

788
00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:50.199
<v Speaker 2>I was impressed with how many people made the trip

789
00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:51.400
<v Speaker 2>to Notre Dame because it's a big game, it's a

790
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:55.920
<v Speaker 2>big opportunity smu eh, there's a there's a lot on

791
00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:57.760
<v Speaker 2>the line here. It's a big game in that aspect.

792
00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:01.159
<v Speaker 2>But this isn't like big event because that's him us

793
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:04.559
<v Speaker 2>in town. But again, who knows, we'll see. I'm sure

794
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:06.960
<v Speaker 2>the crowd will be good enough and hopefully Louisville can

795
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:09.159
<v Speaker 2>can get a win. They need it. All right, have

796
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:10.760
<v Speaker 2>a good night, everybody. Talk to you tomorrow right here

797
00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:20.480
