Speaker 1: It's time for coffee and Company. Fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven ninety Holy.
Speaker 2: Crap, I don't know who the hell we think when
Speaker 2: we are get off our show.
Speaker 1: Idiots.
Speaker 2: The kids are playing or turn at.
Speaker 1: The coaches are screwing it up.
Speaker 3: Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother, gold Play Inner Murals.
Speaker 1: 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? Now? Here's Nick coffee.
Speaker 2: I'm ready to say it. Thursday is the new Friday.
Speaker 2: At least it is for me. At least it is
Speaker 2: for this show, because it feels like a Friday, and
Speaker 2: that used to be a thing. I would be like, damn,
Speaker 2: it's not Friday. We got another but no vibes are
Speaker 2: gonna be good today, Tomorrow, the weekend good stuff. I mean,
Speaker 2: we got football tonight. John's going to Louder than Life
Speaker 2: and we should, uh, we should have some fun the
Speaker 2: next uh, the next few days. But today, from three
Speaker 2: to six, we're gonna get down to business. This is
Speaker 2: a professional sports talk show. We can say that it's
Speaker 2: professional because we get paid to do it right, Like,
Speaker 2: doesn't that make it professional.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I put on a clip on tie every
Speaker 3: time we get rolling, too. That makes it very professional.
Speaker 2: Do you have you Do you own a clip on tie?
Speaker 3: I don't think I do it. Are they still a
Speaker 3: thing they were whenever I was you had one in
Speaker 3: early high school?
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you're a kid, it makes a little more sense.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm not. I don't know. Maybe they
Speaker 2: just make them a lot better now, but clip on ties,
Speaker 2: and I don't know how to tie a tie. I
Speaker 2: have a fat neck and a small head. Uh So
Speaker 2: you know, even if a tie, I just it looks
Speaker 2: any tie looks as if like I'm about like my
Speaker 2: head's just about to pop off. But I used to
Speaker 2: feel like I could. I had a pretty good radar
Speaker 2: for spotting a tie that was legit and a tie
Speaker 2: that was a clip on. So maybe they've made him
Speaker 2: better or I think they might have disappeared. But if
Speaker 2: we had to wear a tie, we wouldn't do this right,
Speaker 2: Like that wouldn't be fune really suck.
Speaker 3: And I bet back in the day, whenever radio was
Speaker 3: in its infancy, I bet there were people who showed
Speaker 3: up and spoke into a microphone with a suit and
Speaker 3: tie on yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure there still are some people that
Speaker 2: do that, and you know, props to them. They're they're
Speaker 2: i mean, they're the real pros. We're just like we're
Speaker 2: semi pro right, Yeah, that's what we are, Like willbe Crow, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right. So it's Coffee and Company fiel Beeth Thorton's
Speaker 2: and this is Sports Talk seven ninety and we're taking
Speaker 2: you up till six o'clock Nick Coffee. That's me the
Speaker 2: company man, John on alongside. And if you want to
Speaker 2: take us with you wherever you go, whatever it is
Speaker 2: you're doing, you can do it. You can listen live
Speaker 2: on the Aheart Radio app Listen live at seven ninety
Speaker 2: Louisville dot Com. A couple guests set to join us today.
Speaker 2: We will talk coming up here at four oh five
Speaker 2: with a young man making his debut here. I'm sure
Speaker 2: he's excited and I mean it's a big deal to
Speaker 2: be a part of this show. Coffee and Company. Tyler
Speaker 2: Horka Blue Andgold dot Com covers the Irish very curious
Speaker 2: to get his thoughts on the matchup as far as
Speaker 2: how you know they're looking at Louisville, because you know,
Speaker 2: I've seen some and I've heard some when it comes
Speaker 2: to the Notre Dame talking heads out there that have podcasts,
Speaker 2: and I don't know if there's any sports radio up
Speaker 2: in South Bend. It's not much of a market, but
Speaker 2: you know they do have Notre Dame. So they're not
Speaker 2: like disrespecting Louisville as if they are going to blow
Speaker 2: the doors off of Louisville. But it's more just about
Speaker 2: realizing how important it is for Notre Dame here because
Speaker 2: a loss, really a loss anywhere, any any anyway, would
Speaker 2: eliminate them.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Like again, I keep getting triggered John, because I'm seeing
Speaker 2: people act as if Notre Dame, like right now, is
Speaker 2: still position position to potentially be in and I don't
Speaker 2: think that should be. I mean, I don't think that's
Speaker 2: the case at all. But like any loss to anybody
Speaker 2: would eliminate them, right I would think a two lost
Speaker 2: team without a chance to win a league and one
Speaker 2: of their losses is terrible, like they'd be done. They
Speaker 2: should just close up shop the rest of the season.
Speaker 3: There's going to be too many teams in the SEC
Speaker 3: and really the Big Ten, specifically both of those two
Speaker 3: conferences that are going to get at large bids that
Speaker 3: are probably going to keep Notre Dame. Even if they
Speaker 3: did somehow go ten and two, that would keep Notre
Speaker 3: Dame from getting in the playoff fie.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think eleven and one if your wins
Speaker 2: don't end up being really cause they this is really
Speaker 2: bad for Notre Dame. And this is a factor in
Speaker 2: why it's such a big game for them, and I
Speaker 2: think the reason this one. I mean, I don't think
Speaker 2: they're going to do this each and every week because
Speaker 2: they realize, you know, that would mean their backs against
Speaker 2: the wall. There's no doubt about it. And Louisville is
Speaker 2: a top fifteen team right now. Louisville on paper is
Speaker 2: again on paper. We'll see where Louisville really stands on Saturday,
Speaker 2: but it's the toughest challenge yet and it would give
Speaker 2: them another really good win because they have the win
Speaker 2: against Texas A and M on the road. So you know,
Speaker 2: I think what I'm hearing as far as noise from
Speaker 2: the Notre Dame side, it's mostly just about the significance
Speaker 2: of this game, and you know, they gotta win. I mean,
Speaker 2: they got to win them all, but this one is
Speaker 2: probably the most Losable they have left as far as
Speaker 2: their home schedule, and you know it would be a
Speaker 2: big win for him. And that doesn't mean, you know,
Speaker 2: Notre Dame's looking at Louisville like their super Bowl. But
Speaker 2: right now, it's early. It's too early to know really
Speaker 2: where a lot of teams truly are. But Louisville is
Speaker 2: one of those teams for sure that here we are
Speaker 2: at the end of September, and I think we have
Speaker 2: an idea who they are. But this challenge here at
Speaker 2: Notre Dame South Bend, I mean, this is a bigger
Speaker 2: challenge than what they had last week against Georgia Tech.
Speaker 2: So I'm excited. I'm just ready for the damn game
Speaker 2: to start. They're wearing green. They've announced they're gonna wear
Speaker 2: their green uniforms, which I don't know why that's such
Speaker 2: a big deal. I mean, maybe that's a rare thing.
Speaker 2: They never wear them, but I mean throughout the week
Speaker 2: I saw some people reporting on it, those who cover
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. Marcus Freeman says the captains the seniors have
Speaker 2: yet to decide what color they're gonna wear, and then
Speaker 2: breaking news they're wearing the green, and I'm like, oh, Okay,
Speaker 2: like you know what I mean. Cool, But like that's
Speaker 2: usually you see the official act for the team and
Speaker 2: the program like put out a Uni thread picture. It's
Speaker 2: rarely something that gets, you know, the coverage of the
Speaker 2: beat Riders. Got to make sure everybody knows what color
Speaker 2: uniform they're going to wear. It's kind of odd. But anyways,
Speaker 2: we'll talk about this matchup and get the perspective from
Speaker 2: the Notre Dame side, coming up here at four oh
Speaker 2: five with Tyler horka Blue Andgold dot Com. We'll also
Speaker 2: talk to our man, Kent Spencer from WHAS eleven. He'll
Speaker 2: join us at five oh five. And I felt bad
Speaker 2: because Kent, you know, usually Fridays, I try not to
Speaker 2: get him on Fridays because Friday's busy day. They've got
Speaker 2: high school football coverage. And then I realized, after I've
Speaker 2: written him a text asking if you wanted to come
Speaker 2: on today, that they've shifted that. In fact, this is
Speaker 2: unusual to me, so high school football a lot of schools.
Speaker 2: In fact, let me pull it up here because WDRB
Speaker 2: just had a write up about it. Yeah, so apparently
Speaker 2: there are nineteen, at least nineteen high school football games
Speaker 2: in Kentucky have been moved to Thursday night instead of Friday.
Speaker 2: So this is not a well, I guess this generation's
Speaker 2: getting soft. They can't play football.
Speaker 1: In the rain.
Speaker 2: Back in my day, we would, you know, we would.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know what I mean, Like, that's
Speaker 2: not what I'm not trying to sound like that guy,
Speaker 2: but it is unusual to see them call it off
Speaker 2: for rain. Now. I guess winds gonna be a big deal.
Speaker 2: I mean, John, you just told me you don't think
Speaker 2: we're going to have Louder than Life tomorrow because of
Speaker 2: the weather. I mean, were just talking about a lot
Speaker 2: of rain. We'd be looking at here there.
Speaker 3: So and again I'm obviously not a meteorologist. I'm not
Speaker 3: spoken with anybody with Louder than Life, of course, but
Speaker 3: they're expecting not only rain literally from eleven pm tonight
Speaker 3: throughout the entirety of the day tomorrow, but they're also
Speaker 3: expecting forty to fifty mile per hour winds potentially.
Speaker 2: So the wind is what really, that's the kick it
Speaker 2: right and the flooding right, A couple of inches of
Speaker 2: rain potentially, because because you can play football in the rain,
Speaker 2: it's just lightning and whatnot, that they would actually say
Speaker 2: you're not allowed to play. Now, nobody would want to
Speaker 2: be out. I mean, nobody would want to be outside
Speaker 2: watching their kids play high school football in the rain.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure once you're a player, you know, you
Speaker 2: probably feel like you'd be more of your natural self
Speaker 2: and your team would have a better chance of executing
Speaker 2: if the conditions are better than nothing but rain and
Speaker 2: a flooded field. But I guess, like I don't know
Speaker 2: again now I am kind of shifting into uh badass
Speaker 2: mode here, thinking this generation's gone soft because I mean,
Speaker 2: maybe my team would have had a better record if
Speaker 2: we didn't have to play when it was windy outside.
Speaker 2: You know, I'd like may in high school, maybe my
Speaker 2: Northwood Eagles would have had better seasons. They just called,
Speaker 2: you know, a little wind and rain, we gotta, we gotta.
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, now, I'm joking because I don't
Speaker 2: I really don't care when they play football. But it's
Speaker 2: just I thought unusual to see everybody just say, Okay,
Speaker 2: here we go, We're gonna do Thursday instead because of
Speaker 2: how bad it could potentially be. I've never seen a
Speaker 2: high school football game be called because of rain or
Speaker 2: wind now doesn't mean it hadn't happened. It's just, you know,
Speaker 2: it's not something I've heard of before. But overall, like convenience,
Speaker 2: I mean, if you, I mean, I'm sure both sides,
Speaker 2: if you're the visiting team or the home team and
Speaker 2: you and you knew this weather was on the way
Speaker 2: as of Monday or Tuesday, I'm sure both sides would
Speaker 2: feel better about playing in better conditions because again, like
Speaker 2: it would be miserable for everybody. But as you know,
Speaker 2: now that we've talked through it, I think this generation
Speaker 2: has gotten soft.
Speaker 3: They can't handle Hurricane Helene coming through.
Speaker 2: Helene. It's a rare name. You know any Helenes.
Speaker 3: I don't me either.
Speaker 2: In fact, I don't know if I've ever heard that name.
Speaker 2: Maybe I have, it just never registered. I know a Helen.
Speaker 2: My Madma is Helen, and she's a sweet lady.
Speaker 3: I feel like there's a TV character that's known as
Speaker 3: Helene that I'm not you knowing what show she's from
Speaker 3: or whatever could be. Who knows.
Speaker 2: So you know, I John winked at me earlier. He
Speaker 2: doesn't want to say it, but he does know. They've
Speaker 2: called off Louder than life for tomorrow. He just doesn't
Speaker 2: want to be the guy that he doesn't want to
Speaker 2: be the guy that has to tell everybody the bad news.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, imagine if I was that spokesperson right here,
Speaker 3: seven ninety.
Speaker 2: You're more qualified than most man. This is your this
Speaker 2: is your time to shine.
Speaker 3: John.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like, you're not a metal head, are you?
Speaker 2: And if you are, that's cool. I'm not your stereotypical
Speaker 2: metal head. What's a stereotypical metal like?
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 3: I'm not going full throttle as they say, I'm not
Speaker 3: putting on the makeup. I'm not. I don't really look
Speaker 3: the part as they say. But I'll listen to a
Speaker 3: lot of that style of music.
Speaker 2: Okay, but that's not because like you just don't want
Speaker 2: to Like, that's just not you, right.
Speaker 3: It's just not me. You just during too the music
Speaker 3: I came in with, you know, a chain around my
Speaker 3: neck and maybe some like biker gloves and maybe some
Speaker 3: some gothic face paint. Today you might think very weird
Speaker 3: of me.
Speaker 2: Is it insulting to say that this event, there's a
Speaker 2: lot of it that it really kind of is costplay?
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's not insulting because you.
Speaker 2: Know, I don't know. Like sometimes like when you call
Speaker 2: somebody a costplay version of something, you're kind of you know,
Speaker 2: you're kind of saying that they're, you know, dressing up
Speaker 2: like Halloween or something.
Speaker 3: I feel like with any festival, no matter what the
Speaker 3: theme of the the music is, I feel like costplay,
Speaker 3: there's a stacked in age. Yeah, there's It's always part
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 2: Nowadays people wear cowboy boots and cowboy hats to see
Speaker 2: country music and they would never wear that in any
Speaker 2: other time in their life. I mean, that's that's I mean,
Speaker 2: it's not the same thing, but it's the same thing, right, Yes,
Speaker 2: I mean it is. That's that's the way I see it.
Speaker 2: So if you are going to uh a lotder than
Speaker 2: lifet and that, I hope you have a good time,
Speaker 2: and I hope you stay dry. I thought, look like
Speaker 2: we were gonna get some rain, but I don't know.
Speaker 3: The rain's gonna hold off tonight, but the you know,
Speaker 3: tomorrow might be a different story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if we get that much rain, I mean,
Speaker 2: would that ruin the next two days?
Speaker 3: And that that's that's you know, the question. If apparently
Speaker 3: they've taken care of the grounds to whereas of now,
Speaker 3: they're not expecting anything like that to happen. But you know,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be willing to bet.
Speaker 2: How can you take care of the grounds with that much?
Speaker 2: Like what are you doing to the grounds? I would
Speaker 2: love to know what they're I mean, like, I don't
Speaker 2: even know how that's possible. It's in the grass, is
Speaker 2: it not?
Speaker 3: They're not gravel. They do have a big gravel set
Speaker 3: up near the front of the two main stages that
Speaker 3: makes a different part behind all the sound systems and
Speaker 3: stuff that's all grass, and that could become an issue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm just thinking if we get the
Speaker 2: rain that they're expecting, you know, for roughly a twenty
Speaker 2: four hour window of time, like it's gonna be muddy everywhere.
Speaker 3: Like if I I feel predicting, I predict they don't
Speaker 3: have the show tomorrow's.
Speaker 2: But they wouldn't just call it off. They would just
Speaker 2: do the next day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then they've done that, Danny Wimmer's done that
Speaker 3: at as festivals before. I know how they would handle it,
Speaker 3: you know, in terms of like what they would do
Speaker 3: for those who had day passes, specifically for Friday, maybe
Speaker 3: they would grant them a different day. But who knows.
Speaker 2: It would be a real punch to the gut for
Speaker 2: Danny because they they moved to this place specifically to
Speaker 2: be better prepared. If than fact, there's a lots yes,
Speaker 2: and now we've got and this will be the test.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and whether you know, we've got the Highland Festival
Speaker 3: grounds as we keep mentioning if they can hold up
Speaker 3: to this weather coming through.
Speaker 2: I mean Helene has now strengthened to a Category three
Speaker 2: hurricane as it races towards Florida. That's the headline here
Speaker 2: at WDRB, So I wouldn't be I forgot about the
Speaker 2: gravel part of it, that there's a I mean, really
Speaker 2: the main stage is there more than one main stage
Speaker 2: the two there's the.
Speaker 3: Two dueling main stages that are right next to each other,
Speaker 3: but then you have the smaller ones in the back.
Speaker 3: That's where all the grass is.
Speaker 2: So where the gravel is I feel like, I mean,
Speaker 2: that makes it to where that makes me feel like
Speaker 2: they'll they won't call it off because they have that.
Speaker 2: I mean, but I don't know, like if winds are crazy, it's.
Speaker 3: Like Woodstock ninety nine or and I know that wasn't
Speaker 3: weather related but you know, that's a whole another story
Speaker 3: and of itself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that's a bummer. I hope it's not as
Speaker 2: severe as they say around here, but we shall see.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it looks I mean, I'm reading here in
Speaker 2: the this is catastrophic storm surge in southeastern parts of
Speaker 2: the United States. So I guess us it's just going
Speaker 2: to be seeing a lot of wind and rain from
Speaker 2: that over these next few days. I mean, South Bend
Speaker 2: is pretty far away, like, that's not southern Indiana by
Speaker 2: any means. I'm just curious what the conditions will be
Speaker 2: in that area. I mean, I don't know what is
Speaker 2: it five hours away roughly? Maybe not that not fair.
Speaker 3: I think you're right on the money.
Speaker 2: Maybe four something like that. So we got some football tonight,
Speaker 2: I mean, once again, a very bad slate for Thursday
Speaker 2: night football. In the college game Army Temple game. I'm
Speaker 2: not going to Usually I would talk myself into trying
Speaker 2: to wager on that. I'm not going to touch that,
Speaker 2: and it's tonight. NFL we got the Cowboys and Giants,
Speaker 2: two big brands in the National Football League historically, but
Speaker 2: neither are in great shape right now. Cowboys got off
Speaker 2: to a phenomenal start against the Browns, looking like they
Speaker 2: you know, in one game. It's not a lot of
Speaker 2: data to analyze, but in that one game, after Dak
Speaker 2: signed and got the big bag, he looked great. And
Speaker 2: then since then they've stunk the Giants. I mean, they
Speaker 2: were terrible in their first couple of games. I think
Speaker 2: they ended up winning last week because again, teams who
Speaker 2: looked good in the first couple of weeks all lost,
Speaker 2: and teams who you know, looked awful found the way
Speaker 2: to win like you would get We'll get to this later,
Speaker 2: because there are some wild numbers from the NFL that
Speaker 2: I want to that I want to sprinkle in here
Speaker 2: and there. I don't want to do a whole segment
Speaker 2: and go full pointdexter on you and just start, you know,
Speaker 2: yapping about yapping about stats. But the biggest favorites there
Speaker 2: were four teams, the four teams that had the biggest
Speaker 2: spreads as far as they were on the winning side
Speaker 2: of during this past week week three of the NFL,
Speaker 2: all four of them lost outright. Think about that, the
Speaker 2: biggest favorites all lost straight up. I mean, I feel
Speaker 2: like that's something that may have never happened before. It's not.
Speaker 2: I mean, I would say if the two biggest favorites,
Speaker 2: that would be rare, but still not like crazy if
Speaker 2: you see it happen. But that's that's crazy stuff, it
Speaker 2: really is. So anyways, uh, you know, I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's one of the bigger games of the weekend,
Speaker 2: you know when I and by the way, with Louisville
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, it's been great these last couple of these
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks because last week it just felt like, Okay,
Speaker 2: we actually have a real game against a real team.
Speaker 2: There's excitement. Now it's knowing that you have a game
Speaker 2: that other people care about, Like it's nice to see
Speaker 2: for the first time this year as we're a month
Speaker 2: end of the season that you know, these people who
Speaker 2: cover the sport nationally that are always you know, they're
Speaker 2: not going to cover every game extensively as far as
Speaker 2: what they think is going to happen with analysis, picks, predictions,
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, but certainly this one is featured
Speaker 2: by just about everybody. And you know, there's some confidence
Speaker 2: in Louisville that I you know, I'm not surprised by.
Speaker 2: But again, I just let me see if we got
Speaker 2: any update here on the line. I haven't seen it
Speaker 2: move in the last couple of days. I think it's
Speaker 2: still Notre Dame minus six, which that's not egregious, that's
Speaker 2: not insulting. I mean it is Notre Dame at their place,
Speaker 2: and I know Northern Illinois beat them, but still that
Speaker 2: doesn't mean wins are going to be super easy to
Speaker 2: come by for anybody. I mean, even when Notre Dame
Speaker 2: was bad, it wasn't as if they just started losing
Speaker 2: every game they played at home. But yeah, as of
Speaker 2: right now, we're still looking at let's see here, where
Speaker 2: is it on this big board of games. I can't
Speaker 2: seem to fund it. They take it off. They must
Speaker 2: have taken it off because they know Louisvell is gonna win.
Speaker 2: It's six and a half. It is Louisville plus six
Speaker 2: and a half. So I'm not going to touch it.
Speaker 2: But as of yesterday, I'll check later on and see
Speaker 2: if there's any changes. I doubt that there is. But
Speaker 2: as yesterday, anybody who is touching this game in regards
Speaker 2: to the spread or the money line, more than ninety
Speaker 2: percent are all in on the So if you hear
Speaker 2: that coach Brom, you got some motivation if you need it.
Speaker 2: I don't think he needs it, though I think he's ready.
Speaker 2: I mean, keep in mind, this is a big deal
Speaker 2: for Jeff to go to Notre Dame and take Louisville
Speaker 2: there because of, you know, his Catholic connection. We talked
Speaker 2: about it earlier in the week. I mean, he was
Speaker 2: recruited to go to Notre Dame and I'm sure he
Speaker 2: would have probably gone there had situation not been a
Speaker 2: little bit different where they had already signed the number
Speaker 2: one quarterback in the country, and obviously, you know Oscar
Speaker 2: Brom was wanting his oldest to stay home, and then
Speaker 2: of course Brian's connection. So here's what I do. I
Speaker 2: feel really confident in saying they're gonna be ready to play.
Speaker 2: Does that mean they win? I don't know. I also
Speaker 2: feel confident in saying that it's become quite clear. I
Speaker 2: heard a little bit of Coach Brom's radio show and
Speaker 2: we talked a little bit about this yesterday. With Notre Dame.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're just gonna have to make Riley Leonard
Speaker 2: beat you, and he is more of a threat to
Speaker 2: take off and run than I had realized. And that
Speaker 2: has easily been I think at this point, like if
Speaker 2: there's one thing that let's put it this way. If
Speaker 2: you are an opposing team and you've watched Louisville in
Speaker 2: these first three games, you're probably gonna throw away the
Speaker 2: first two tapes because there's really nothing to take from that.
Speaker 2: And then against Georgia Tech, Haines King got loose a
Speaker 2: little bit and he's good at doing that, but so
Speaker 2: is Riley Leonard. So if I'm an opposing coach and
Speaker 2: I'm looking at an area that I would say Louisville
Speaker 2: might be vulnerable, it is that your quarterback, you know,
Speaker 2: can be in the pocket and then just kind of
Speaker 2: find find a time to take off and keep a
Speaker 2: drive alive. So you know that's going to be an
Speaker 2: emphasis for Louisville to try to prevent that from happening.
Speaker 2: And if they do that and they can contain the run,
Speaker 2: get some stops to where they have to make Riley
Speaker 2: Leonard use his arm. It's not as if he's incapable.
Speaker 2: It's not as if he is a terrible guy when
Speaker 2: it comes to sitting in the pocket making throws. It's
Speaker 2: just he's not consistent, and you know, I haven't. You know,
Speaker 2: I don't really look a whole lot at like the
Speaker 2: QBR and the deep dive analytics for quarterbacks. But you know,
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody would tell you that this guy
Speaker 2: has been a great investment for Notre Dame at this point.
Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't put the loss to Northern Illinois
Speaker 2: on him, but you know, he's one of the guys
Speaker 2: at this point that I would put in the mix. So, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: you went and got a guy who's played a lot
Speaker 2: of football and he had success at Duke, and you
Speaker 2: knew the were other schools that wanted him. But like,
Speaker 2: do you feel like you got what you were wanting?
Speaker 2: Do you feel like it was a good investment? And
Speaker 2: there's a lot of those guys right now that that
Speaker 2: are in that group, but a lot of football to
Speaker 2: be played. And as I say that, maybe that means
Speaker 2: Riley Leonard is about to, you know, put together the
Speaker 2: best game of his career. I hope not, but we
Speaker 2: shall see. On the Kentucky side, you know this Old
Speaker 2: Miss game, I think right now Ole Miss is fired
Speaker 2: up and Matt Jones is responsible for that. And it's
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think he said anything egregious. But
Speaker 2: there was a clip we may, we may, we may
Speaker 2: play it later, although some people they conbust if I
Speaker 2: play Matt Jones sound on this on this show, even
Speaker 2: though it's pretty well known. I'm I'm I'm friends with Matt,
Speaker 2: and I get why you don't like him. I get
Speaker 2: why you think he's the worst, because you know he's
Speaker 2: he's big Blue Jesus and a lot of you that
Speaker 2: listen to this show are Cards fans. But you know,
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't look at him that way because again,
Speaker 2: it's just different. But he was talking about the crowd
Speaker 2: at Ole Miss. Did you hear about this? John?
Speaker 3: I saw some of the social media interaction that took place.
Speaker 2: So there's a Matt Jones versus Matt Jones. There's are
Speaker 2: Matt Jones that is an Old Miss running back that
Speaker 2: is I think their second leading rusher and has had
Speaker 2: a pretty good season so far, started as a walk on.
Speaker 2: And then there's a Matt Jones radio host here in Kentucky.
Speaker 2: So his clip talking about the Ole Miss atmosphere went
Speaker 2: I guess viral. I mean, maybe that's a stretch, but
Speaker 2: like Old Miss fans heard the clip of him talking
Speaker 2: about their environment as if it's not that tough of
Speaker 2: a place to play, and like, oh they're they're you
Speaker 2: know there. I think that's incentivized them to show up
Speaker 2: even more ready to be loud. And we'll get to
Speaker 2: it later because I don't think Matt said anything that
Speaker 2: is not true as far as really anything. However, I
Speaker 2: did hear him talk about it a little bit yesterday
Speaker 2: and he was like, well, I just said that it's
Speaker 2: not one of the toughest places to play in the SEC.
Speaker 2: Why that's a fact. And he's right, and Old miss
Speaker 2: fans may not want to accept that, but that's the truth.
Speaker 2: Nobody would ever say, oh good, what are you gonna
Speaker 2: do when you go to Oxford. He did describe the
Speaker 2: lady robbing crowd that they don't have as many fans
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, and maybe all that's true, but
Speaker 2: like they're really good now. And I didn't realize this,
Speaker 2: but I think they broke a record like last week
Speaker 2: for attendance against you know, a nobody, So they're fired up,
Speaker 2: they're ready. I mean, this is as good as Old
Speaker 2: missus Ben. And if they were gonna maybe slow, if
Speaker 2: they were gonna maybe show up sleepwalking because it's eleven
Speaker 2: am their time. I think Matts has lit a fire
Speaker 2: under their fan base. It'll have nothing to do with
Speaker 2: the actual game, but it's stuff like that that makes
Speaker 2: college football fun. You know, they're showing They're gonna get
Speaker 2: in their cars in Oxford, Mississippi and head into tailgate
Speaker 2: chip on their shoulder. This Matt Jones guy in Kentucky
Speaker 2: thinks we're not We're not showing up. He thinks we're
Speaker 2: not a tough place to play. He's gonna learn today. Littally,
Speaker 2: they know Matt won't be playing in the game, although
Speaker 2: I do think you'll be there. But Ole miss is
Speaker 2: in a weird spot because they are honestly as good
Speaker 2: as they've ever been in my lifetime. And you know,
Speaker 2: they have such a week schedule in the non conference
Speaker 2: that like they can't slip up. But this is also
Speaker 2: their first real test. I mean, I think their roster
Speaker 2: uh is is in a good spot as far as
Speaker 2: who they added in the portal and Langkiffin's a hell
Speaker 2: of a coach. But if I was a Kentucky fan,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't feel like we were going to go win,
Speaker 2: but would I would know that, Hey, you got a
Speaker 2: chance to kind of maybe put them, not put them
Speaker 2: on their heels early. But they're going to be seeing
Speaker 2: a different especially defensively, They're going to be seeing something
Speaker 2: they haven't seen at any point this year. And again
Speaker 2: we're in late September now, so again I can't tell
Speaker 2: if Kentucky fans have like kind of checked out, if
Speaker 2: they're waiting to maybe see if they get killed tomorrow
Speaker 2: and then they'll just shift all attention to Mark Pope
Speaker 2: in his first year. But they're not expected to win,
Speaker 2: but they've gotten used to, you know, being better than
Speaker 2: they've ever been. But if they just start, like how
Speaker 2: long it used to be used to be doable if
Speaker 2: they would play competitively against good teams like did against Georgia.
Speaker 2: But if they get hammered in Oxford and they moved
Speaker 2: to two and three on the year, oh and three
Speaker 2: in the ACC, like, it doesn't mean their fans are
Speaker 2: going to completely check out and not watch a game
Speaker 2: the rest of the year. But you'll be five games
Speaker 2: in and I don't know, I think it'll turn out
Speaker 2: to where you are as apathetic as you've been, just
Speaker 2: because previously Stoops had it to where like at minimum
Speaker 2: you were getting seven wins, and I think that still
Speaker 2: looks to be very tough for them. But anyways, let's
Speaker 2: take a quick break. We'll come back on the other side.
Speaker 2: Keep this thing rolling along. It's a Thursday. I was
Speaker 2: almost about to say it was Friday, but it's not.
Speaker 2: But again, maybe it is because I think Thursday's the
Speaker 2: new Friday. That's the way I'm approaching it.
Speaker 3: Stick with us.
Speaker 2: It's coffee and company. We are feel about Thorton's right
Speaker 2: here on Sports Talk seven ninety. So my good buddy
Speaker 2: Ron is the athletic director at our alma mater, and
Speaker 2: he was listening to the show and he's provided some
Speaker 2: good insight here as far as the moving the games
Speaker 2: to Thursday. A lot of schools, he says, moved games
Speaker 2: may have that move games may have grass fields that
Speaker 2: are used for multiple sports, and if you play tomorrow
Speaker 2: on those grass fields with those conditions, it could ruin
Speaker 2: those fields for the rest of the season. It would
Speaker 2: just be mud, which again makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: So turf, and I don't know how many high school
Speaker 2: fields are are turf now. I think a lot of
Speaker 2: them are, but I could be wrong on that. You know,
Speaker 2: you just got to worry about you worry about wind
Speaker 2: and another thing that you know makes sense that there
Speaker 2: are some obvious reasons that they would do this because
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not an athletic director. I don't. They're
Speaker 2: clearly much more qualified and to know how to handle this.
Speaker 2: But you only get what ten games a year in
Speaker 2: high school football, I think, and it sounds he mentioned
Speaker 2: scheduling is just almost impossible with football, which makes sense.
Speaker 2: So now we know, and thank you Ron. Now I
Speaker 2: can tell people why why there's you know, why you
Speaker 2: would move it from from Friday to Thursdays.
Speaker 3: It's not because people are just a bunch of pansies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. So but man, if if we go
Speaker 2: in t I like, I mean, nothing I can do
Speaker 2: about it. They got to make sure kids are safe.
Speaker 2: Kids got to go to a bus stop if there's
Speaker 2: eighty mile an hour wind and they just get I
Speaker 2: didn't leave earth like that would be that wouldn't be ideal.
Speaker 3: For the for the for the school system, like it's
Speaker 3: of oz.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know those are things that like, you know,
Speaker 2: you got to keep in mind. But we have a
Speaker 2: buddy in our group text which I don't nobody cares
Speaker 2: about this. But he he like all most of us,
Speaker 2: he's a parent, and look, it's inconvenient whenever you just
Speaker 2: randomly don't your kid doesn't have to go to school
Speaker 2: because you have to scramble. And you know, for some
Speaker 2: of people, I'm sure they have a convenient thing to
Speaker 2: where they Okay, if we don't have school because of
Speaker 2: a snow day or whatever, I'm gonna send my kid
Speaker 2: to their grandparents' house or something. Or they've got a
Speaker 2: sibling that's a high schooler and and they're old enough
Speaker 2: to watch everybody. So, uh, everybody's situation is different, but
Speaker 2: for the lot of for a lot of people, myself included, like,
Speaker 2: it's not convenient. But he's always given my buddy, my
Speaker 2: buddy Scott, I'll just say his name. He's always given
Speaker 2: those in our friend group that work in the school
Speaker 2: system a tough time because of the decisions that are
Speaker 2: made by the board, which, by the way, like it
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with our friends who are at
Speaker 2: directors and assistant principles and whatnot, because you know, they
Speaker 2: don't make those decisions. They work for a school, not
Speaker 2: for the actual you know, the school system. But he's
Speaker 2: also right like it's such a hard oh thing to
Speaker 2: say we didn't deal with that back because it's He's right,
Speaker 2: like by we would never lose, we would never not
Speaker 2: go to school because of wind. And I'm sure we
Speaker 2: had really windy, windy conditions, but like you know, now
Speaker 2: we have the ability to you know, do school at home,
Speaker 2: which and.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's so much about the wind specific
Speaker 3: I mean, it would be wind caused, but I think
Speaker 3: it's more about the fear of power outages, and if
Speaker 3: there are outages overnight, I think that's when it becomes
Speaker 3: a real problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you know, depending on where you live,
Speaker 2: Like there's certain areas that if the it doesn't have
Speaker 2: to be a where your whole city's flooded, but there
Speaker 2: could be good there could be areas with high water
Speaker 2: to where your bus wouldn't even be able to get there,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So anyways, I'm not going
Speaker 2: to look at this list right now, but I did
Speaker 2: pull it up here and we'll get to it later
Speaker 2: because it sounds like just the weather experts, the meteorologists
Speaker 2: nationally here have given a list of games that are
Speaker 2: going to be going on in college football that may
Speaker 2: not happen if the conditions are that bad, all right,
Speaker 2: it's coffee and company. If you'l a boy Thorton's here
Speaker 2: on Sports Talk seven ninety, don't forget to sign up
Speaker 2: to become a member of the Refreshing Awards program. If
Speaker 2: you have not yet, you'll save money at the gas
Speaker 2: pump and you'll be living life better than those that
Speaker 2: are not members of the Refreshing Awards program. So again,
Speaker 2: Refreshing Awards dot com. If you just search for Thornton's
Speaker 2: or search Refreshing Awards in your app store, Android or iPhone,
Speaker 2: you'll be good to go. All right, let's talk about
Speaker 2: my friends at the Jefferson Animal Hospital, shall we? And
Speaker 2: you know I've been bragging on them for quite some time,
Speaker 2: and this is sort of what happens when you partner
Speaker 2: with a great company like the Jefferson Animal Hospital. People
Speaker 2: who have had great experiences with certain companies, what do
Speaker 2: they want to do? They want to tell you about it.
Speaker 2: I've had a couple of people tell me that, you know,
Speaker 2: they and this is not a good story by any means,
Speaker 2: but they you know, they had to they had to
Speaker 2: put their pet down, and that's sad, right, But they
Speaker 2: wanted me to know just how great professional courteous. Uh
Speaker 2: this The staff was a Jefferson animal hospital, So like,
Speaker 2: nobody wants to do that, but you if you do
Speaker 2: ever get to that point, it's nice to know that,
Speaker 2: you know, this is something that for them, it's probably
Speaker 2: you know, it's what they do, you know, but they
Speaker 2: can they can help you, I mean as best they can.
Speaker 2: Maybe you're inconsolable, and if so, I get it, because
Speaker 2: this is really that's a really sad thing. But a
Speaker 2: couple of people have shared their experience and and mentioned
Speaker 2: that you know, despite the awful circumstance, it was still
Speaker 2: it was it was done well, and they were bragging
Speaker 2: on them. And I didn't realize this. My dad, his
Speaker 2: dog had had had passed away actually while on the
Speaker 2: way to the Jefferstonnaal Hospital a few years ago. I
Speaker 2: knew this had happened, but I didn't know where he
Speaker 2: had gone. He was sharing that with me. So shout
Speaker 2: out to Jeffersonnimal Hospital. If you don't have a plan,
Speaker 2: and nobody has a plan for an emergency, because those
Speaker 2: that's that's why it's an emergency. But just know that
Speaker 2: if an emergency does occur with your pet, the plan
Speaker 2: should be to get them to Jefferson Animal Hospital on
Speaker 2: outer Loop as soon as possible. They've been doing this
Speaker 2: for a long time, folks. They've been in business for
Speaker 2: forty four years, open every single day, even on Christmas.
Speaker 2: They've got a doctor on staff that is there in
Speaker 2: case something happens to your pets, So keep that in mind. Again,
Speaker 2: doesn't have to just be an emergency. It could also
Speaker 2: be you just wanting to get your your pets looked at.
Speaker 2: So you can give them a call five two nine
Speaker 2: hundred pets, or you can visit their website at Jefferson
Speaker 2: Vets dot com and get it as Jefferson Animal Hospital.
Speaker 2: All right, So this text came in earlier in the show.
Speaker 2: He says, Nick, you stop talking about your car. I
Speaker 2: assume that means you finally got it back. No, that's
Speaker 2: that's that's not what happened. I have not got my
Speaker 2: car back. And I mean, do we need to get
Speaker 2: into this? Do people care?
Speaker 3: Yes? Blessed and continue?
Speaker 2: Yes, No, I'm now iheartjeep. Oh okay, I'm using one
Speaker 2: of our company vehicles and I'm very happy that that
Speaker 2: they've allowed me to do that. But yesterday somebody said,
Speaker 2: you know your your sports takes are mid at best,
Speaker 2: tell us what the hell happened with AutoZone? And I
Speaker 2: don't want to like just because this story I don't
Speaker 2: find it really to be that entertaining. It's just, you know,
Speaker 2: it's it sucks, and there's really not a whole lot
Speaker 2: to add because I still haven't gotten like anything from anybody,
Speaker 2: so I'm not going to get into the whole situation
Speaker 2: again as far as the beginning, but quick quick summary here,
Speaker 2: took my car AutoZone to get my battery swapped out.
Speaker 2: I knew that my Volkswagon's a little different than you know,
Speaker 2: a lot of cars they see volt you know, German
Speaker 2: Volkswagens are just different. Not to say they're better or anything,
Speaker 2: but they're just different and they're paining the ass. Like
Speaker 2: I know that, which is why I asked, Hey, if
Speaker 2: I get this battery, can you guys swap them out?
Speaker 2: If not, no biggie. In fact, I left my car
Speaker 2: running because I thought like if I didn't, I was
Speaker 2: just going to take the battery and have it on
Speaker 2: site and then just take my car home because it's
Speaker 2: probably gonna need to jump so they said yeah, So
Speaker 2: they go out there and they had the battery on
Speaker 2: backwards for three hours, couldn't figure out why nothing was working,
Speaker 2: And with the many many attempts to try to get
Speaker 2: my battery on and get me out of there, they
Speaker 2: were doing it incorrectly with the battery backwards, so they
Speaker 2: essentially zapped the main fus of my vehicle. So they
Speaker 2: ended up having it towed to the dealership, and the
Speaker 2: dealership has had it since last Friday, and they did
Speaker 2: tell me that the main fuse is completely blown and
Speaker 2: they will then have to replace that. They've ordered the part.
Speaker 2: I think it's supposed to get there today and once
Speaker 2: they get the main fus on, then they can actually
Speaker 2: further assess and see like what else could potentially be
Speaker 2: could have been damaged with what they were doing with
Speaker 2: basically just zap in my car many, many, many times.
Speaker 2: So the dealership, you know, they've just been keeping me
Speaker 2: updated as best as possible. But I talked to two
Speaker 2: people last Friday, like one eight hundred number phone calls
Speaker 2: to Auto Zone. They took my information. I mean I
Speaker 2: had to tell them the whole long winded story multiple times.
Speaker 2: I also left a message on Friday with the regional office,
Speaker 2: which is here in Louisville, and they didn't call me back.
Speaker 2: I got a DM from Auto Zone on Twitter asking
Speaker 2: how they can help, and I, you know, it's just
Speaker 2: an automated thing, like it's we're anytime somebody starts bitching
Speaker 2: about your company on social media. Oh, we're really sorry
Speaker 2: too that you've had this experience. Please message us with
Speaker 2: details and we'll escalate the situation. It's just it's not
Speaker 2: really a human, it's probably a bot. So I just
Speaker 2: kept going back and forth, like why can't you give
Speaker 2: me the number of somebody to call that I can
Speaker 2: speak with, because nobody's returned my call and all I've
Speaker 2: been able to do is leave voicemails and the same message,
Speaker 2: We're really sorry that you're having these issues, if you
Speaker 2: could please, So just that just pissed me off even
Speaker 2: more so. Yesterday I finally got a hold of somebody
Speaker 2: at the regional office and explained to them, like what,
Speaker 2: Like I said, here's the issue. I've been without my
Speaker 2: vehicle for a week now, all because of you, guys.
Speaker 2: I gave you business, you took my money, I paid
Speaker 2: for a battery, and my car has not worked, I
Speaker 2: have a vehicle that I'm using, but you all didn't
Speaker 2: offer to assist and help me with this situation that
Speaker 2: you caused. And if I wouldn't keep calling you over
Speaker 2: and over, I don't think anybody would even acknowledge that,
Speaker 2: like this guy not only needs a refund, like what
Speaker 2: can we do to make him whole? And you know,
Speaker 2: there's really nothing they can say, right, so you know,
Speaker 2: they just kind of say, we understand, we understand, So
Speaker 2: like nobody can provide any any direction as far as
Speaker 2: where we're going to make me whole, meaning like give
Speaker 2: me my money back, And you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't want to gift card. I don't think they're
Speaker 2: going to just like give me money. But like that's
Speaker 2: an insane thing to happen for a humongous company like AutoZone,
Speaker 2: and they have no stay in place, they have no
Speaker 2: process as far as what they're going to do when
Speaker 2: this stuff happens. So once I expressed this to like
Speaker 2: the corpse the regional office, they just said, all right,
Speaker 2: let me let me, let me, let me get a
Speaker 2: hold of him and we'll get there. And I said,
Speaker 2: who hell's him? Who's him? Like I who's him? And
Speaker 2: then they said the the the district manager Willie, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, that's the guy I talked to last
Speaker 2: week who seemed inconvenience when I called him, never heard
Speaker 2: from him again. So then he did call me, and
Speaker 2: I guess they were reaching out to the dealership because
Speaker 2: they were aware of like what the status was at
Speaker 2: the dealership, but nobody, like nobody told me they're lucky.
Speaker 2: I have been all over the dealership asking them for updates.
Speaker 2: So he he did seem really really under He's like,
Speaker 2: I'm really sorry. I apologize. I understand if sorry or
Speaker 2: and I get it, I understand understand. So I said, look,
Speaker 2: I just I mean, at this point, I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: pick up my vehicle when it's done, but like I've
Speaker 2: been without a vehicle for a week, and if you know,
Speaker 2: and if it lasted three weeks, like I don't think
Speaker 2: you all give a damn. And he was like, let
Speaker 2: me here's what I wanna do. I'm gonna call my
Speaker 2: boss and I'm explaining the situation and it's it's on us.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna see what we can do as far as
Speaker 2: compensating you for this mess we put you in and
Speaker 2: I said, all right, well, if you call between three
Speaker 2: and six, I won't be able to answer, so text
Speaker 2: me leave a voicemail, but I will call you back.
Speaker 2: I don't want you to think I'm dodging your call,
Speaker 2: but I won't be available to take a phone call
Speaker 2: between three and six. It's like, all right, totally understand,
Speaker 2: I'll call you back. Haven't heard from him, so like
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I mean, I don't even know what I'm
Speaker 2: it's actually the point now where it's really impacting my
Speaker 2: mental psyche to where like I just need to eat it.
Speaker 2: But then again, I feel like a little bit if
Speaker 2: I do that, and like that'll eat at me too.
Speaker 2: So it's just you would this is the kind of
Speaker 2: stuff that you would see happen I think potentially at
Speaker 2: like a local like just a place without a lot
Speaker 2: of resources. This is AutoZone. So anyways, that's where we
Speaker 2: are with the car and no clue what to expect
Speaker 2: next other than me probably just continuing to call the
Speaker 2: dealership and called corporate and see what, you know, see
Speaker 2: what it is they're going to do. And like, I
Speaker 2: don't think anybody did this intentionally, and I do believe
Speaker 2: that like they know that they messed up. But here's
Speaker 2: where we're like there's all kinds of you know, theories
Speaker 2: out there about customer service and how it's never been
Speaker 2: worse because you know, employees aren't taken care of and
Speaker 2: you know people don't value jobs and all that, and
Speaker 2: I don't That's not where I'm coming from, And I
Speaker 2: didn't want it to sound like that. I know you
Speaker 2: hear that a lot from people about how the workforce
Speaker 2: is so terrible and this and that. What I think
Speaker 2: is happening is that you just can't get people to care, right,
Speaker 2: Like I know that they're aware that they messed up,
Speaker 2: but like they don't care that they've inconvenienced me. I
Speaker 2: think you got to be the person who like owns
Speaker 2: the company this day and age to actually really give
Speaker 2: a damn. And like I'm sure back in the day,
Speaker 2: whenever you know things were different and people would complain,
Speaker 2: you probably really didn't care deep down, Like you would
Speaker 2: go home and realize, yes, something bad happened at work,
Speaker 2: but you wouldn't think about it again. And I get that,
Speaker 2: But like at this point, like nobody takes any personal
Speaker 2: pride in the job that they do. That is of
Speaker 2: that that kind of job, like entry level working at
Speaker 2: an auto part store. There's just not like you know,
Speaker 2: well whatever, like it's this job's what it is like
Speaker 2: if something bad happens, like who cares? And like I
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe if it was me, I'd be in
Speaker 2: the same position. But that's what's frustrating me more than anything,
Speaker 2: is that, like I'm not being a male Karen, I'm
Speaker 2: not being difficult. I've been insanely inconvenienced and you have money.
Speaker 2: I've paid you money, and you broke my car and
Speaker 2: you've left me without a car for a week, like
Speaker 2: and yet they know that, they don't dispute it. But
Speaker 2: it's just you know nothing, nothing Like I just sometimes
Speaker 2: want to like just ask if I'm talking to a robot. Anyways,
Speaker 2: that's your update on the car. Let's take a break
Speaker 2: and I'll stop talking about it because I'm gett frustrated.
Speaker 2: It's coffee and company we're feel about Thort's right here
Speaker 2: on SportsTalk seven ninety. If you're somebody that does spend
Speaker 2: some time in the toxic wasteland that is Twitter x,
Speaker 2: you need to be following real card game that is
Speaker 2: Kelly Dicky. He is a UFL stats junkie and he
Speaker 2: really puts out some just interesting trivia stats that I
Speaker 2: just you know, and oftentimes I try to share those
Speaker 2: on the show and always make sure and give him
Speaker 2: credit because you know, he's the one putting in all
Speaker 2: the work to figure out this stuff, and I I
Speaker 2: mean give me, let me give you the latest tweet
Speaker 2: from Kelly Dickey. Louisll's game at Notre Dame will be
Speaker 2: the first game versus ranked opponent to be unavailable on
Speaker 2: linear TV since number nine West Virginia visited Cardinals Stadium
Speaker 2: on September twenty third, nineteen eighty nine. So yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean that's a random I'm not sure if that's if
Speaker 2: there's if that's if that's useful information by any means,
Speaker 2: but makes sense, right because usually when ranked teams play anybody,
Speaker 2: they're on TV, and Notre Dame is a huge brand.
Speaker 2: It's not like you're playing a ranked team that is
Speaker 2: FCS or something that just somehow managed it to be great,
Speaker 2: which that's not even really possible. But yeah, it's gonna
Speaker 2: be on Peacock the Cock, which does come with a
Speaker 2: two week free trial, So do they do that though,
Speaker 2: like they really let you do a trial when they're
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't mean.
Speaker 3: They just assume that people are going to cancel their yeah,
Speaker 3: to usually make you put in your credit card information regardless.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I feel like when the NFL had a
Speaker 2: playoff game on one of these streaming services, I mean,
Speaker 2: if they did the free trial, I mean, even if
Speaker 2: a lot of people did forget to go back and
Speaker 2: like unsubscribe so they didn't get charged, it would still
Speaker 2: I think sort of question the purpose of the amount
Speaker 2: of money you paid for the exclusive. Like nobody does
Speaker 2: free trial for channels on TV, right, I guess, I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe it is a pain in the ass to unsubscribe
Speaker 3: for any of this. I'd do it with Apple TV
Speaker 3: because I just wanted to get through ted Lasso.
Speaker 2: They make it pain in the ass.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was. It was we figured out a way.
Speaker 3: But it's you know, I get why they do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's talk about Underdog Fantasy tonight. I'm
Speaker 2: getting in on the action with Underdog Fantasy. You should too.
Speaker 2: All you got to do is download their app, use
Speaker 2: my code NIX seven ninety, and you're gonna get a
Speaker 2: free pick to use I mean free also, though I
Speaker 2: would tell you need to throw in some money in
Speaker 2: that account too. It can be something minimal, maybe something
Speaker 2: you know, mid level as far as what you put
Speaker 2: into these accounts when you wager on sports, because they're
Speaker 2: going to give you a bonus cash. These are the
Speaker 2: kind of things that aren't going to be around for
Speaker 2: a long time, right, Like we're still relatively new here
Speaker 2: when it comes to sports wagering and Underdog Fantasy. They're
Speaker 2: hooking you up, right. You thought maybe you were only
Speaker 2: getting the promos the special deals last year. Nope, Underdog
Speaker 2: Fantasy hooking you up this year. So if you've never
Speaker 2: experienced the app and everything that comes with it, I'll
Speaker 2: give you a quick as best I can run down
Speaker 2: here of it. So all you're doing is picking high
Speaker 2: or lower on players' stats, and if you pick one
Speaker 2: player from each side of a matchup, right, So tonight
Speaker 2: we've got the Giants and the Cowboys. You pick. You know,
Speaker 2: for example, let's say you want to go higher than
Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty and a half yards for Dak Prescott,
Speaker 2: you pick higher. Let's say you're gonna go higher for
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones as well. Two hundred and three and a
Speaker 2: half yards. You know, you pick both those things, and
Speaker 2: at that point within the app, you can hit play.
Speaker 2: You can add more though you don't have to just
Speaker 2: do those two. You can do as many as I
Speaker 2: think eight. So it's easier in my opinion. Maybe it's
Speaker 2: just because I've had more luck on this than I
Speaker 2: have with other stuff when it comes to betting, But
Speaker 2: you know, I just feel like when you look at
Speaker 2: a guy's numbers, again, you're still just guessing. You never know,
Speaker 2: maybe a guy gets hurt, doesn't play after the first
Speaker 2: quarter or something like that. But I found it to
Speaker 2: be easier to look at a player's trends. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just one it's just one player, right, So when
Speaker 2: you're looking at a team and you're looking at what
Speaker 2: they did and their stats and whatnot, I mean, it's
Speaker 2: just different. So you know, let's just give you example here.
Speaker 2: So let's say we like the hot we like high
Speaker 2: on both quarterbacks, and we like higher on seed Lamb's
Speaker 2: receiving yards. Let's go above. In fact, rushing in receiving
Speaker 2: yards is what it's at eighty four and a half.
Speaker 2: We're gonna go higher there, and we're gonna go. Let's say,
Speaker 2: where is he at? Wandelle Robinson, former Kentucky Wildcat who
Speaker 2: plays for the place for the Giants. Why am I
Speaker 2: not seeing his name? He should be He should be
Speaker 2: coming right up, Yeah, Wandell Robinson. I'm gonna say he's
Speaker 2: gonna have higher than thirty six and a half receiving yards.
Speaker 2: So I've got four picks here that I can play.
Speaker 2: I put a ten dollars wager on it gives me
Speaker 2: fifty six to ten. Or you can play it a
Speaker 2: little safer and do the flex. We're only three of
Speaker 2: the four half to come in and you don't win
Speaker 2: as much money, but still it's it's better than losing money, right,
Speaker 2: So it's Underdog Fantasy. It's it's super simple. All you
Speaker 2: have to do is go to Underdog Fantasy dot com
