<v Speaker 1>or trail off.

7
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:19.160
<v Speaker 3>The countries are screwing it up. Gold play intermurals, brother,

8
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:20.760
<v Speaker 3>gold play intermurals.

9
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not.

10
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 3>Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you

11
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:28.440

00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.640
<v Speaker 2>by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Appreciate you

19
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>hanging out with us. My name is Nick Coffee. I

20
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>hope you knew that. If not, my ego is is

21
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:01.200
<v Speaker 2>damaged slightly.

22
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:01.799
<v Speaker 3>But you know.

23
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Now you know, and hopefully you remember a name I

24
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:07.680
<v Speaker 2>know you're very familiar with. Is the company man, mister

25
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 2>John Alden, who's alongside as we take you up till

26
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 2>six o'clock. And John, I'm feeling good today, brother, I

27
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 2>bet you are.

28
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.560
<v Speaker 3>It was a good night last night for Louisville fans, it.

29
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Was, and we're certainly going to get into last night's

30
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 2>performance from the Ville their best performance thus far, not

31
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 2>even close, and it does give me some confidence moving

32
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.120
<v Speaker 2>forward and their ability to keep this run going. But

33
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 2>now we have the matchup and it's it's I don't

34
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.400
<v Speaker 2>really know how to describe it. I mean, because it's

35
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:38.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the rivalry's on, and it's never really not on.

36
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 2>But now we have a rivalry matchup that I feel

37
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 2>like the layers to it make it to where fans

38
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>can just have fun with it. Now we're going to

39
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 2>be upset as Louisville fans if they come up short

40
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 2>against Loaf Familia and Kentucky fans you know, they'll probably

41
00:01:57.799 --> 00:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>be bummed if they show up at Freedom Hall and

42
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:03.920
<v Speaker 2>they see Montrez Harrold Russ Smith and Peyton Siva send

43
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>them packing. But because of what this is, it's almost

44
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.599
<v Speaker 2>as if like the type of misery that you would

45
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 2>that you would go through in any other Louisville Kentucky

46
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.919
<v Speaker 2>basketball related matchup, Like it's just not gonna be that bad.

47
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Then again, maybe I'm wrong, right, like, expect the unexpected,

48
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>the TBT that's David Paget's line, and he's doing a

49
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 2>great job, by the way, on the on the call

50
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 2>for Fox NFS one. But I'm thinking, if Louisville loss

51
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 2>like whatever, you know, like it, I'll be bummed and

52
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:37.479
<v Speaker 2>I want him to win in a major way. Maybe

53
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 2>I shouldn't have said whatever, but you know, these guys

54
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.080
<v Speaker 2>still came out and you know, made it to the

55
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 2>Elite eight of this event in their second year, so

56
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>they're you know, and I don't see any reason why

57
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 2>they won't keep this thing going moving forward. But as

58
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:53.439
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, you know, it'll be kind of something

59
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.039
<v Speaker 2>easy to just move on from. I could be wrong, right, Like,

60
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:57.680
<v Speaker 2>it could be something, you know, depending on how it

61
00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 2>all plays out. With the elam ending adding so much

62
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.919
<v Speaker 2>drama to the end of these games, you know, maybe

63
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 2>it'll be one ten years from now, I'm thinking, Man,

64
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 2>if they would have freaking won that game on Monday night,

65
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 2>July twenty ninth at Freedom Hall, I mean, gosh, what

66
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 2>could have been? Like, I don't we don't know, we

67
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>don't know, but I feel like last night was ten

68
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.159
<v Speaker 2>years ago. And let me tell you why, John, I

69
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.039
<v Speaker 2>had a dream last night that I don't even really

70
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 2>want to get into like what it was, because it's

71
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>not interesting. It's not I mean, it's it's weird. Dreams

72
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 2>are weird. They don't make any sense. You know. I've

73
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>never really done a whole lot of researcher looking into,

74
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, the theory or the science behind why we

75
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>dream what we dream. But it was a dream to

76
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.800
<v Speaker 2>where I feel like, you know, ten years went by.

77
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever had that to where you go to

78
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>bed and you feel like you woke up and it

79
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:53.639
<v Speaker 2>was like, damn, where have I been for the last

80
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.599
<v Speaker 2>you know? Oh, yeah, wow, that's my wife. I'm married,

81
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>I got two kids.

82
00:03:58.120 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 3>I gotta get in a while. But I've had dream

83
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 3>like that.

84
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:01.879
<v Speaker 2>They're wild, aren't aren't they.

85
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 1>It's very trippy and it sometimes it takes a few

86
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.039
<v Speaker 1>moments to kind of get yourself back to reality when

87
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>you come to from those dreams.

88
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's that's exactly what happened to me today. It's

89
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 2>like I was like I was, I woke up to

90
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 2>restart a life that I'd abandoned forever and again, like

91
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:25.480
<v Speaker 2>if there was something weird or interesting or creepy about

92
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 2>said dream, then you know I would share it with

93
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>you because that could potentially. You know. Look, when it

94
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 2>comes to to making interesting content, one of the things

95
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:37.360
<v Speaker 2>that has always really really played for me was self deprecation,

96
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 2>making fun of myself. It usually works pretty well, but

97
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 2>it was just I don't know, like, today's been a

98
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.439
<v Speaker 2>day to where I'm just feeling like, man, this I

99
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>was away from this life for so long in said dream,

100
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 2>and now I'm here, and man, this is great. It's great.

101
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.639
<v Speaker 2>It's also great that I've got roughly, you know, under

102
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:55.959
<v Speaker 2>six hours of radio time before I'm out of here

103
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.879
<v Speaker 2>for vacation. I'm really getting excited about that. This is

104
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.240
<v Speaker 2>the trip John, where the pre you know, the pre

105
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 2>travel anxiety doesn't hit.

106
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>And that's probably it makes sense because you've already been

107
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>on a couple of trips this year. Yeah, I mean

108
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:09.879
<v Speaker 1>this is also your your annual.

109
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, Like this is one where there's not a whole

110
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.800
<v Speaker 2>lot of you know, uncertainty here, right. I mean, I

111
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 2>guess we could always be a victim of terrible days

112
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 2>at an airport. I certainly hope that's not what happens

113
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.120
<v Speaker 2>with us, But there's always a chance when you fly.

114
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 2>We know that, but you know, we know what we're

115
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.439
<v Speaker 2>gonna do. I've talked all summer about these trips I've

116
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 2>been on where I'm like, you know what, man, it's

117
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.000
<v Speaker 2>been great just just going to these places I've never been.

118
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm made ever go back, but just exploring, just doing

119
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.639
<v Speaker 2>different things, seeing places I've never seen before. And now

120
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 2>here I am like, oh, no, I know exactly what

121
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing. I know exactly, So I guess both can

122
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:45.560
<v Speaker 2>be great, right, Like, maybe mix it up. Have some

123
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.000
<v Speaker 2>trips to where you know you're seeing something for the

124
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 2>first time, and then have a trip that you know

125
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 2>is just your thing. And that's that's that's our annual

126
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.560
<v Speaker 2>vacation that we take to to destin with with the family,

127
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, the immediate family, the wife and the two

128
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 2>little ones. So again, reminder, I won't be here next week,

129
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 2>and yes, I'm going to miss out on I don't

130
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.879
<v Speaker 2>want to call it a once in a lifetime like,

131
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, man, this is one of the most highly

132
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.600
<v Speaker 2>anticipated things we could discuss in this sports radio platform

133
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.519
<v Speaker 2>here in Louisville. Former Cards and Cats playing you know,

134
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.240
<v Speaker 2>against each other at Freedom Hall. And if they keep

135
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 2>moving on, you know, I guess a win for them

136
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Monday doesn't guarantee that they keep winning, but hey, it's

137
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 2>another step towards potentially sharing a million dollars. Like it's

138
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:37.120
<v Speaker 2>cool as hell, but you know, it's not actually Louisville

139
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.959
<v Speaker 2>in Kentucky. It's it's former players, and it's a different

140
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 2>event and we all know that. So I don't want

141
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:44.959
<v Speaker 2>to act as if like it's the best thing that's

142
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.920
<v Speaker 2>ever happened. But for late July early August, man, this

143
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.160
<v Speaker 2>is a gift as far as things we can get

144
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 2>into and have fun with. And that's what this has been. Man.

145
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, I just watching these former players play, seeing

146
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:02.920
<v Speaker 2>how much they really are feeding off of the fans

147
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.600
<v Speaker 2>that are there. I mean, it's just been it's been awesome.

148
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>And you know, the TBT has been around for a while,

149
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>but it's grown, I feel, you know, substantially in the

150
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.360
<v Speaker 2>last probably just really since the pandemic. It seems as

151
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.480
<v Speaker 2>if you started to really see more and more attention

152
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>around it. And the elam ending continues to be awesome.

153
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.120
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I doubt we ever see any real change.

154
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm sure if you brought it to whoever the

155
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.639
<v Speaker 2>commissioner of the n S double A is now, who

156
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>is that or the president of the n stable a

157
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Charlie something. It's got a really really it's like a

158
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 2>movie character name. I think. Is it Charlie Baker? Did

159
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:43.959
<v Speaker 2>I just make that up? Or is that? Is that

160
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:45.720
<v Speaker 2>the nc Double A? Is that who took over from Mark?

161
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not too sure, but I can't. I can't never

162
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 1>not think of Mark Emmert when I think of the

163
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:50.399
<v Speaker 1>n C Double A.

164
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Boom. Charlie Baker is his name, and he's the new uh,

165
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.639
<v Speaker 2>He's the new president of the n C Double A,

166
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.120
<v Speaker 2>taking over for Mark Emmert. So you know, I doubt

167
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, he'll want to adopt the the elam ending

168
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.160
<v Speaker 2>for a variety of reasons, and I'm not advocating for it.

169
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.079
<v Speaker 2>And then of course the NBA they wouldn't do it.

170
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Adam Silver would probably, you know, although he did let them.

171
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he's the one who decided to do it. But

172
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.839
<v Speaker 2>they did the elam ending in the NBA All Star

173
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:17.759
<v Speaker 2>Game a couple of years ago, a few years ago,

174
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.279
<v Speaker 2>whenever it was, And it did make it to where

175
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.360
<v Speaker 2>like that event towards the end, like for somebody to win,

176
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.360
<v Speaker 2>like if it was a close game, you're gonna see

177
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 2>again the All Star Game sucks in the NBA because

178
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.000
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the day, these guys aren't really competing,

179
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:32.519
<v Speaker 2>they're just having fun. They do not care if they

180
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:35.679
<v Speaker 2>win or lose, and you know that'll that is the

181
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 2>root of why the NBA All Star Game may eventually

182
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 2>just not exist. And if it does, believe it or not,

183
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:45.519
<v Speaker 2>you won't miss it. But you know, like, even if

184
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.240
<v Speaker 2>they're just messing around, like, you still got to like

185
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:48.759
<v Speaker 2>you can't just ride out the clock, like you got

186
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:50.399
<v Speaker 2>to go make a shot, make a play, and if

187
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.519
<v Speaker 2>it's close, I think, you know, there's a chance that

188
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:55.759
<v Speaker 2>NBA players, who again I assume if they're in the NBA,

189
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.159
<v Speaker 2>they have a competitive nature about them to where, hey,

190
00:08:58.200 --> 00:08:59.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, even though we're messing around, like I want

191
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>to try to win this, you know, all we got

192
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.720
<v Speaker 2>to do is, you know, we're we're five points away

193
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:08.159
<v Speaker 2>from the elam ending ending target scorer and they're too,

194
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:09.919
<v Speaker 2>So let's just buckle down and get some stops and

195
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 2>try to win this thing. So it'll never happen, at

196
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.759
<v Speaker 2>least I don't think it will, meaning where basketball just

197
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:20.320
<v Speaker 2>adopts this is the way games end. But I'm starting

198
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.879
<v Speaker 2>to feel like if it did, we wouldn't complain after

199
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>the fact. Now I say that as somebody who's followed

200
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.399
<v Speaker 2>this event this year and not lost because of the

201
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.440
<v Speaker 2>elam ending. But again, like, could there be a scenario

202
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.320
<v Speaker 2>in the elam ending where you could claim that you

203
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 2>were wronged like that in that formula that scenario stole

204
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:43.759
<v Speaker 2>a victory from you, because I don't think you can.

205
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a situation, and this is similar to

206
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.360
<v Speaker 1>regular basketball where if you foul somebody on the game

207
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>winning shot and they win by free throws.

208
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's interesting.

209
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And obviously if it's a foul, it's a foul,

210
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.519
<v Speaker 1>But if it's a questionable call and that ends up

211
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 1>being the decision, then that can be a little controversial.

212
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, but still like don't foul then you

213
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:04.320
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean? Like, and you're right, like you

214
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:05.879
<v Speaker 2>would go back and think, like, well, man, in the

215
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.759
<v Speaker 2>previous world that that you know, basketball has always been

216
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:11.720
<v Speaker 2>played for it from the beginning of time, meaning the

217
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.639
<v Speaker 2>beginning of the sport. Yeah, maybe it could have worked

218
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.639
<v Speaker 2>out different. But because you because you can't rely on

219
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.759
<v Speaker 2>time in any way, I think that makes it to where,

220
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.320
<v Speaker 2>regardless of the outcome, you might boohoo and say, well, Hey,

221
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.240
<v Speaker 2>if there was a running clock, like like we've always played,

222
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.600
<v Speaker 2>we might have been able to hold on and survive. Well,

223
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, you may be right, but go earn it,

224
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:38.759
<v Speaker 2>go win, you know, so because you have to actually

225
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:43.279
<v Speaker 2>go make plays. You can't just survive. I mean, I

226
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.399
<v Speaker 2>guess technically you still use that, Hey, we survived, we

227
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:46.639
<v Speaker 2>were able to win like as you could be that

228
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.679
<v Speaker 2>you could be a team that had a you know,

229
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:54.320
<v Speaker 2>you could have had a fifteen point lead when the

230
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.519
<v Speaker 2>elam ending started. And then if you end up in

231
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.320
<v Speaker 2>a close game where you actually have to hit, you know,

232
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:01.240
<v Speaker 2>you hit, you hit a bucket to win it, to

233
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.039
<v Speaker 2>hit the target score, and you won the game by two,

234
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.320
<v Speaker 2>then I guess technically you did still kind of survive.

235
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.080
<v Speaker 2>But either way, you can't just hold out hope that

236
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:12.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, their run started a little too late. So

237
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.519
<v Speaker 2>again I'm getting ahead of myself, because again I don't

238
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:16.919
<v Speaker 2>think it'll ever happen. But the more games I watch

239
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:21.720
<v Speaker 2>that have the elam ending involved it from a competitive standpoint,

240
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.919
<v Speaker 2>it's awesome. From a fan standpoint, as far as consuming

241
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.600
<v Speaker 2>the product and wanting to be entertained by an exciting finish,

242
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.320
<v Speaker 2>it's great. Now again, you can have again Kentucky. To

243
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.120
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you, their team La familia, they've had gosh,

244
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.000
<v Speaker 2>they've had blowouts, so like their elam ending has not

245
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.320
<v Speaker 2>been like a oh, who's gonna who's gonna get to

246
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:43.519
<v Speaker 2>this score? Like you felt pretty comfortable if you're a

247
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky fan, that they were gonna get there long before

248
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:49.639
<v Speaker 2>anybody else had any chance to do it. So anyways,

249
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:50.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm loving this.

250
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Man.

251
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:54.039
<v Speaker 2>I know these former players, you know a lot has

252
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.320
<v Speaker 2>happened in their life since they left. I hate acting

253
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 2>like they're so old, but you know, Peyton Seva is

254
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.000
<v Speaker 2>a grown ass man, which older than a family. He's

255
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.440
<v Speaker 2>a co coach here. Now you know Peyton's a little

256
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.639
<v Speaker 2>bit younger than me, but you know he's on the

257
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:08.799
<v Speaker 2>older side. Although last night, looking at guys like Darius

258
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 2>Washington and Paul Harris Junior, I mean like those guys

259
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:17.799
<v Speaker 2>make Peyton russ And and tres And and Chris Jones

260
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.240
<v Speaker 2>look young because those guys are not only older, they

261
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.399
<v Speaker 2>look a lot older. But you know there's no scenario

262
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.360
<v Speaker 2>in these because good what I'm getting at And I

263
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.039
<v Speaker 2>talked to one former player and I won't mention who

264
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.279
<v Speaker 2>it is because it may not be something he wanted

265
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:34.720
<v Speaker 2>to put out there, but they went through years of

266
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.759
<v Speaker 2>still trying to play professionally, trying to make a living,

267
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:40.600
<v Speaker 2>basically trying not to get a real job. And you know,

268
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure if these guys walk away from basketball, they've

269
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:46.440
<v Speaker 2>got money to where they could be entrepreneurs like Russ,

270
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:49.440
<v Speaker 2>they can you know, get a job in a great

271
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:51.759
<v Speaker 2>industry and do well for themselves. Like these are very

272
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.679
<v Speaker 2>successful people. And you know, I have no doubt when

273
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:56.840
<v Speaker 2>they don't play ball for a living anymore, they'll find

274
00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.879
<v Speaker 2>a great career and have a great life. But you

275
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.480
<v Speaker 2>don't want to do that until you have to, I

276
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.799
<v Speaker 2>would assume, right, you can still, you know. So you

277
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.039
<v Speaker 2>know these guys, one in particular told me that, you know,

278
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.039
<v Speaker 2>he really struggled knowing that even if he did get

279
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:17.360
<v Speaker 2>a you know, healthy six figures salary to go play

280
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:21.000
<v Speaker 2>for four months in Bulgaria, that's a good way to

281
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:22.720
<v Speaker 2>make I mean, that's that you know, keep in mind

282
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:24.240
<v Speaker 2>when you bring that money home and ain't tax my

283
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.320
<v Speaker 2>uncle Sam because you didn't make that money here in America.

284
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.279
<v Speaker 2>Like that, that's that's that's a great situation for somebody

285
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.519
<v Speaker 2>but you're never playing in front of people who really

286
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.480
<v Speaker 2>know who you are. You don't stick around like it's rare,

287
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:39.440
<v Speaker 2>like Peyton Siva had a rare situation in his pro

288
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.440
<v Speaker 2>career to where he played in I think it was Germany.

289
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:45.879
<v Speaker 2>I think he played three straight years for the same team.

290
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.399
<v Speaker 2>And he you know, Peyton's such a lovable guy and

291
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:51.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, just a good dude that easily fans will

292
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.200
<v Speaker 2>easily you know, attract to. So you know, he was

293
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of a fan favorite there. But you know, for

294
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.879
<v Speaker 2>some of these guys, man like, they'll play, they'll play

295
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.279
<v Speaker 2>in three countries in account year, you know, just just

296
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:02.799
<v Speaker 2>to still you know, just just to be able to

297
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:05.080
<v Speaker 2>make a living and you know, put away as much

298
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.360
<v Speaker 2>money as they can while they can still use their

299
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:09.960
<v Speaker 2>talent and ability to play basketball to make a living.

300
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:14.240
<v Speaker 2>But it's you know that your best days are behind you.

301
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:16.840
<v Speaker 2>That's essentially what was said to me by one of

302
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:18.639
<v Speaker 2>these guys participating and and I'm you know, I may

303
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.039
<v Speaker 2>ask him if I can share the story because it

304
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.279
<v Speaker 2>was really it was really interesting to hear that perspective,

305
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.480
<v Speaker 2>and it explains why this means so much. You know,

306
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:27.279
<v Speaker 2>you end your career at Louisville, where you're playing in

307
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:30.000
<v Speaker 2>front of twenty thousand plus every night, and you go

308
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:32.399
<v Speaker 2>to a restaurant in town, everybody knows who you are,

309
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.440
<v Speaker 2>whereas you know you could be making a great living

310
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:37.879
<v Speaker 2>and bounce around from country to country in a twelve

311
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.639
<v Speaker 2>month period. And yes, you're blessed to be able to

312
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:42.320
<v Speaker 2>make a living playing the game you love. It didn't

313
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:43.960
<v Speaker 2>really feel like work because it's all you've ever done.

314
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:48.600
<v Speaker 2>But you also know you'll never experience that love again

315
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:50.879
<v Speaker 2>from a fan base that cares so much. Well, now

316
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:53.519
<v Speaker 2>here they are and they're experiencing it again. It's not

317
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:57.639
<v Speaker 2>twenty thousand people there, but the energy and the you know,

318
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.720
<v Speaker 2>the love that the fan base has for former players

319
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:03.919
<v Speaker 2>like this gives them a chance not only to come

320
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.000
<v Speaker 2>back to town and you know, be around the program

321
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:09.600
<v Speaker 2>and get a sense for Wow, this place is awesome.

322
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm so glad I went to school here and played basketball. Man,

323
00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:14.519
<v Speaker 2>what a what a what a pleasure it was to

324
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.879
<v Speaker 2>be around here. Well, now they're actually out there playing

325
00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:21.559
<v Speaker 2>the game, and and and and and competing for a

326
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:24.399
<v Speaker 2>chance to not only put money in their pocket and

327
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.240
<v Speaker 2>share a million dollars collectively, but also you know, make

328
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:32.200
<v Speaker 2>these fans proud. So there's a level of of of

329
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.200
<v Speaker 2>corniness to this that I feel like I've tried to

330
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:38.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of dance around, because again, like this isn't like

331
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:41.279
<v Speaker 2>whatever happens in this event will not will not really

332
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:44.919
<v Speaker 2>matter for the program that is Louisville basketball. I mean,

333
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:46.639
<v Speaker 2>it'll be it'll be a good look, I suppose, but

334
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.480
<v Speaker 2>it you know, it's not going to have any impact

335
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.840
<v Speaker 2>on the future of the program because again, these are

336
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.039
<v Speaker 2>former players playing in an event that has really nothing

337
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:57.120
<v Speaker 2>to do with the university itself. But I can't lie

338
00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:00.480
<v Speaker 2>and act like it didn't freaking awesome. And I think

339
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.600
<v Speaker 2>what's really made it hit me a little bit more

340
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:08.159
<v Speaker 2>in the fields, John is because my son Moose, he's

341
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's he's gonna be a Louisville Cardinal lunatic

342
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:14.279
<v Speaker 2>and I couldn't be more proud.

343
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.159
<v Speaker 1>And he's getting to really cut his chops with it.

344
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.799
<v Speaker 1>With the guys you grew up, not I grew up. Yeah,

345
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the guys you saw be successful at the highest level.

346
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:24.399
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna make me get emotional because you're absolutely right.

347
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:27.399
<v Speaker 2>These are guys, most of them. And I don't say

348
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.840
<v Speaker 2>this to act like I'm special because I'm not. But

349
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:34.120
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of these guys personally, just because

350
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:36.720
<v Speaker 2>at the time I really got into covering this team

351
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.279
<v Speaker 2>with decent access and of course, man, the interest level

352
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:43.320
<v Speaker 2>was insane because of the great run that Louisville basketball

353
00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:48.399
<v Speaker 2>had from in that era. You know, basically, you know,

354
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.440
<v Speaker 2>I was around, and you know I was alive clearly,

355
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:53.720
<v Speaker 2>but I didn't have I mean I was I was

356
00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty one years old whenever, like that great run

357
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.279
<v Speaker 2>had with t Will and Earl Clark, you know, but

358
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.079
<v Speaker 2>those guys were my age, like I was just a

359
00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:07.680
<v Speaker 2>college kid essentially. Well then you know, once I got

360
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:10.039
<v Speaker 2>into covering the team, that was right around twenty eleven

361
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.640
<v Speaker 2>and from twenty eleven to twenty sixteen seventeen. To be

362
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.119
<v Speaker 2>honest with you, really, the Batino era in that time

363
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:20.240
<v Speaker 2>was awesome, man, A lot of a lot of great times.

364
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:23.000
<v Speaker 2>So you're right, John, like these are not just like

365
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not introducing him to Kahani Russ or you know,

366
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:31.119
<v Speaker 2>Rain Smith and I Will. You know, when I say introduced,

367
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:32.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't mean like I'm gonna, you know, show up

368
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:35.559
<v Speaker 2>at you know, the team dorm and introduce them. But

369
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:37.160
<v Speaker 2>like you know, when we watch, I'll tell him who

370
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:39.640
<v Speaker 2>it is and he'll get familiar. But he's he's getting

371
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:41.640
<v Speaker 2>familiar for the first time with the team. And it's

372
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:43.680
<v Speaker 2>guys that I can tell you everything about. It's guys

373
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:45.720
<v Speaker 2>that whenever the game ends, I can walk out there

374
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.720
<v Speaker 2>and say, hey, Peyton, you got to get a picture

375
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:53.359
<v Speaker 2>with with Moose. He's fired up Tres. You know, I

376
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:55.920
<v Speaker 2>don't even know how, but he's your biggest fan. Like

377
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:57.640
<v Speaker 2>those are things that like it makes it a little

378
00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:59.519
<v Speaker 2>more special to me. And I don't nobody cares, you know,

379
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:01.160
<v Speaker 2>to make it all about me, because I don't know

380
00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:03.759
<v Speaker 2>nobody cares. But I know a lot of people listening

381
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:08.119
<v Speaker 2>are either young enough to where you don't have kids yet,

382
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.480
<v Speaker 2>but you had those moments with your dad or mom

383
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:13.759
<v Speaker 2>or your you know, your your your uncle or your

384
00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:17.160
<v Speaker 2>grandpa to where you you know, you became a passionate

385
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:21.599
<v Speaker 2>fan that invested emotion because of them, And or you

386
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:23.559
<v Speaker 2>could be someone like me who knows, hey, this is

387
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:26.480
<v Speaker 2>what I did. And now my kid, you know, he's

388
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:28.960
<v Speaker 2>he's grown, he's a grown man. But man, you know,

389
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.599
<v Speaker 2>it's it's part of his religion essentially too. So I'm

390
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:34.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of going through that, and honestly, I wouldn't have

391
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:37.119
<v Speaker 2>it any other way. I mean, I'm sure my son

392
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:40.200
<v Speaker 2>will will love the the current team and the form

393
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:42.000
<v Speaker 2>and the future teams and all that, and he'll be

394
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:44.559
<v Speaker 2>into it. But there is something about it. And I'm

395
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:46.319
<v Speaker 2>glad you said that, John, because I hadn't really considered

396
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:48.119
<v Speaker 2>as to why it's it's been such a thing for me.

397
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:49.799
<v Speaker 2>It's because, like you know, I saw these guys from

398
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:52.160
<v Speaker 2>start to finish in their career. I mean, there's a

399
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.759
<v Speaker 2>lot of guys you see on the floor at times

400
00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:57.039
<v Speaker 2>that you were a part of a national championship team,

401
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.440
<v Speaker 2>and that's pretty special. So it's been awesome, it has,

402
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.559
<v Speaker 2>and uh, we'll see what happens on Monday night. I

403
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:04.799
<v Speaker 2>know it's gonna be Uh, it's gonna be packed nine

404
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:06.480
<v Speaker 2>o'clock tip and uh.

405
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:11.839
<v Speaker 1>I saw the tickets sold out initially in like four minutes, correct,

406
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and then they opened something I don't see.

407
00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:15.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know a whole lot about how that played

408
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:19.279
<v Speaker 2>out because because they weren't available, I guess that doesn't

409
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:21.599
<v Speaker 2>mean that they were sold out. I think they just

410
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.839
<v Speaker 2>make a certain amount available based off demand. You have

411
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:28.200
<v Speaker 2>to keep in mind these events that take place elsewhere,

412
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Like I bet there may not have been a thousand

413
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:37.240
<v Speaker 2>people at the at the Pittsburgh Regional. Actually no, a

414
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.519
<v Speaker 2>guy from Louisville who played in the Pittsburgh Regional for

415
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.960
<v Speaker 2>a different team, and you know they lost in their

416
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:46.759
<v Speaker 2>first game. But you know, he he was telling me

417
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:49.920
<v Speaker 2>that he's played in this like three years now and

418
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.440
<v Speaker 2>each time it's never been in because Louisville didn't host

419
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:54.920
<v Speaker 2>until last year. But like, you usually don't get many

420
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.839
<v Speaker 2>people at all there, Like it's because again, if you're

421
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:00.240
<v Speaker 2>not in a there are alumni teams that go and

422
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.799
<v Speaker 2>play els. Like for example, Auburn's alumni team wore ready

423
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, they played in in Lexington. I mean, they're

424
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:09.119
<v Speaker 2>not going to bring a big crowd of Auburn fans

425
00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:11.000
<v Speaker 2>to come, you know. So so you know, this is

426
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:16.519
<v Speaker 2>a true rare situation. And you know, I think even

427
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.440
<v Speaker 2>even the people who put this event on are probably

428
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:23.240
<v Speaker 2>learning about this as they go. Not not meaning event

429
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.640
<v Speaker 2>planning ticket sales, I mean like, oh, yeah, this kind

430
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.279
<v Speaker 2>of matchup, you better you better make every seat in

431
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:32.599
<v Speaker 2>that place available to purchase because it'll probably you know,

432
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:34.519
<v Speaker 2>it'll probably gets sold. But yeah, I think you can

433
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:38.039
<v Speaker 2>still get tickets if you know, if you want. But yeah,

434
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:40.880
<v Speaker 2>I uh, I love it. Man, it's been and it's

435
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:46.039
<v Speaker 2>like an unexpected nostalgic joy. I guess that's that's probably

436
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:47.720
<v Speaker 2>the best way to describe it. But that was just

437
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:50.799
<v Speaker 2>off the cuff there, because because of what this whole

438
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:52.640
<v Speaker 2>thing is. It's not like I'm thinking, oh, man, it's

439
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:54.359
<v Speaker 2>going to be such a special thing, like I'll tell

440
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:57.319
<v Speaker 2>my grandkids one day about watching what a form a

441
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:00.400
<v Speaker 2>group of former Louisville players did in their thirties. But

442
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.039
<v Speaker 2>once you experience it, man, it's just it's it's great.

443
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:05.680
<v Speaker 2>It really is. All right. I hope the rest of

444
00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:07.359
<v Speaker 2>the show is great. We're gonna try to make it great.

445
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:09.519
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna give it our best. That's all we can do.

446
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:12.480
<v Speaker 2>That's all you can ask of us. Right, we have

447
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:14.799
<v Speaker 2>a guest potentially joining us. I've yet to hear back

448
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:17.559
<v Speaker 2>from our man, mister Brian Edwards, a Vegas insider. I

449
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:19.640
<v Speaker 2>want to chop it up with him, talk a little

450
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:23.480
<v Speaker 2>college football betting. Of course, that's what Brian's great at.

451
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:25.200
<v Speaker 2>But he's down there in Santa Rosa Beach. He may

452
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:26.759
<v Speaker 2>just be I don't know. He may have put his

453
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.119
<v Speaker 2>phone on silent and just he's sipping a margarita on

454
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:32.200
<v Speaker 2>the beach and just not you know, not wanting to

455
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:34.000
<v Speaker 2>come on the show. But he'll be either today or

456
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:36.559
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow when we have Brian on. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow.

457
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:38.319
<v Speaker 2>We'll see, right, we'll play it out, we'll let we'll

458
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:40.519
<v Speaker 2>see what happens. But I do know again, we're gonna

459
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:43.559
<v Speaker 2>try to do our best to have a fun show today.

460
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:45.640
<v Speaker 2>So stick around. We'll let you guys be a part

461
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:47.559
<v Speaker 2>of it. It's coffee and company. Feel abou Thorton's right

462
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:50.759
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven ninety man, this is this

463
00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:52.279
<v Speaker 2>is a deep it's a deep song here.

464
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:54.799
<v Speaker 3>Sorry for the song, but.

465
00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:58.640
<v Speaker 2>You know it's it's absolutely fitting given you know what

466
00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:03.079
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about. So I think just because he's got

467
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:05.880
<v Speaker 2>so much energy on the court, and you know, he's

468
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:09.599
<v Speaker 2>an exciting player to watch. But like my son Moose,

469
00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:13.079
<v Speaker 2>he loves he loves Tres, like, where's Tres? Where's Tres?

470
00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:14.759
<v Speaker 2>You know, we did, he did. We didn't get to

471
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:17.519
<v Speaker 2>go last night because he had football practice, but when

472
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:19.640
<v Speaker 2>we were there, you know, he was you know, he

473
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:22.720
<v Speaker 2>was just wanted to know why Trez wasn't in the games,

474
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:24.039
<v Speaker 2>he get a dunk at that kind of stuff. So

475
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:27.440
<v Speaker 2>he's a huge fan. And then last night we were

476
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:31.079
<v Speaker 2>watching and Trez got actually he didn't get to watch

477
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:33.519
<v Speaker 2>it when it happened because he was still in practice,

478
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:37.079
<v Speaker 2>but the early play from Peyton where he somehow made

479
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.039
<v Speaker 2>a ridiculous pass that was just I mean, I mean

480
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:43.759
<v Speaker 2>that was like vintage Peyton Siva with the vision and

481
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:46.960
<v Speaker 2>the ability to hang in the air and find trees

482
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:48.920
<v Speaker 2>right there underneath the goal for the dunk. So I

483
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:51.519
<v Speaker 2>showed him the clip, the replay, the slow mo and

484
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:55.079
<v Speaker 2>the first thing Moose said was you think Trez will

485
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:58.079
<v Speaker 2>stay stay to night tonight? He asked if he could

486
00:22:58.079 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 2>stay the night at our house, and I just thought

487
00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:01.759
<v Speaker 2>that was really funny. So I ended up tweeting that

488
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:04.359
<v Speaker 2>out that my son just asked if my four year

489
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:06.000
<v Speaker 2>old son just asked if Trez can stay the night

490
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.039
<v Speaker 2>in our house tonight. And you know, I personal, I

491
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:09.759
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's I don't think it's crazy request. He's

492
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:13.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's in town. So this morning he asked again,

493
00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:15.000
<v Speaker 2>like can he do it tonight? So a video I

494
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.240
<v Speaker 2>took a video of him before we went into daycare today.

495
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.279
<v Speaker 2>And he said, you know, Trez, you can.

496
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:19.759
<v Speaker 3>You can.

497
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Actually this is gonna sound terrible, but this is what

498
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:22.200
<v Speaker 2>it sounds.

499
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:23.119
<v Speaker 3>This This was the video.

500
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you just say at my ass dinner, he said, Tres,

501
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:29.519
<v Speaker 2>you can stay at my house tonight. So I posted

502
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:32.200
<v Speaker 2>that to Trees and said the invite still stands. And

503
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.279
<v Speaker 2>Moost wanted me to say, does he know we have

504
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:34.880
<v Speaker 2>fruit snacks?

505
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:35.279
<v Speaker 3>Which we do.

506
00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:37.200
<v Speaker 2>That's a we keep a lot of fruit snacks in

507
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:40.599
<v Speaker 2>the house. And Trez responded about an hour ago on

508
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Twitter and said, I'm honestly honored a little man. So

509
00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:44.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that means we're going to have the sleepover,

510
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:47.640
<v Speaker 2>but uh, you know, it is cool. Like, you know,

511
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I would have never imagined a scenario where my kid

512
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:53.599
<v Speaker 2>would even like know who Montress Harrell is, But because

513
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:55.519
<v Speaker 2>of this event, he's been able to watch him and

514
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:57.759
<v Speaker 2>it's been you know, him kind of really cutting his

515
00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:00.240
<v Speaker 2>teeth as a fan, which is uh, which is really cool.

516
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:03.799
<v Speaker 2>All right, It's Coffee and Company fuel by Thornton's here

00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:37.920
<v Speaker 2>You can take advantage of the Frequency Club. And folks,

530
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:39.680
<v Speaker 2>let me tell you what the Frequency Club is. If

531
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:42.799
<v Speaker 2>you don't know. There's certain items that if you buy

532
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:47.240
<v Speaker 2>them frequently, you end up getting one for free. Hence

533
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the name Frequency Club. They do that extra e in there,

534
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:54.640
<v Speaker 2>so you know, there's all kinds. There's different items that

535
00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:56.759
<v Speaker 2>end up in the Frequency Club, so you never know,

536
00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:59.559
<v Speaker 2>like maybe you are a regular and you get this

537
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:01.839
<v Speaker 2>item and it's never been a part of the club before,

538
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:04.359
<v Speaker 2>but then boom, you know, you enter your phone number,

539
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:07.079
<v Speaker 2>you swipe your rewards card and you see, oh it's free,

540
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:10.920
<v Speaker 2>and what's crazy. Is like I I I mentioned you

541
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:13.839
<v Speaker 2>swipe it and you like scan it because I mean,

542
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:16.920
<v Speaker 2>there are still gas stations and convenience stores out there

543
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:19.599
<v Speaker 2>that don't have the self checkout. I mean, come on,

544
00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:23.319
<v Speaker 2>what are we pilgrims? What are we doing? I mean,

545
00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:26.160
<v Speaker 2>what kind of I mean there's no way to go

546
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:29.519
<v Speaker 2>about business. I mean I can walk into Thornton's and

547
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.519
<v Speaker 2>get five items, know where they are, so I know

548
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:35.440
<v Speaker 2>right where to go, and I can get in and

549
00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:38.559
<v Speaker 2>out of there in ninety seconds. You know, if it's

550
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:40.799
<v Speaker 2>one item, maybe I'll pull a Rick Betino. I'm in

551
00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:44.480
<v Speaker 2>there in fifteen seconds and I'm out. You never know, right,

552
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:46.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean just depends on you know, if there's other

553
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:49.880
<v Speaker 2>people in there, it could happen. So Thornton's is the best.

554
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:50.920
<v Speaker 2>We certainly appreciate them.

555
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:52.720
<v Speaker 3>I saw you had to remind a family member that

556
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:54.240
<v Speaker 3>you're a Thornton's family the other day.

557
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:57.640
<v Speaker 2>You saw that I did. Yeah, I don't. I don't

558
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:02.119
<v Speaker 2>like bringing family drama to the show. But you guys know,

559
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm an open book. I'm very transparent when you if

560
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:09.920
<v Speaker 2>you're if you're in my life, you're always potentially gonna

561
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:12.400
<v Speaker 2>be a part of the content and my father, who

562
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:15.599
<v Speaker 2>I love, love him dearly. He really let me down.

563
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:21.240
<v Speaker 2>He makes a trip down to uh Jekyl Island, Georgia,

564
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:24.440
<v Speaker 2>little vacation trip, and he stopped in at a at

565
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:26.559
<v Speaker 2>a different place, not at Thorntons, and you'd have thought

566
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:28.960
<v Speaker 2>he was a kid at Disneyland for the first time,

567
00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:34.559
<v Speaker 2>just just geeked up about this ball mass place that

568
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:36.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't even I mean, boosy, is that what they

569
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:39.799
<v Speaker 2>call it? Little boost boot Boosy's Yeah, I mean like

570
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:42.079
<v Speaker 2>it's just I mean, it's it was shameful, to be

571
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.079
<v Speaker 2>honest with you, it's and I didn't know how it

572
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.319
<v Speaker 2>felt to be betrayed by family until that and now

573
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I know, So you know, now I know. All right,

574
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:56.480
<v Speaker 2>So we'll get back into uh this matchup between lit

575
00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Familia and the Ville uh, because I only got a

576
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:00.960
<v Speaker 2>couple of days to discuss because I won't be here

577
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Monday or next week, and you know, I'm looking forward

578
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:09.079
<v Speaker 2>to my trip. But man, the energy is already pretty

579
00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:11.799
<v Speaker 2>pretty strong around here, just knowing what we have in store.

580
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:13.160
<v Speaker 2>But I bet by the time we get to Monday,

581
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:16.960
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be it's gonna be crazy. So let's talk

582
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:20.119
<v Speaker 2>some football real quick here. I'm not gonna dress this

583
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:23.119
<v Speaker 2>up as if I've got some like inside scoop or

584
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:27.240
<v Speaker 2>some type of formulated take that I haven't shared with

585
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:30.960
<v Speaker 2>you before. But I talked to one of my buddies

586
00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:34.640
<v Speaker 2>who who I met literally by going to these ACC

587
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:38.440
<v Speaker 2>media events. Rather it be the ACC kickoff or ACC

588
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Operation basketball, why can't they just call it media days?

589
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Like what are we doing? It's so corny. But one

590
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:50.319
<v Speaker 2>of my buddies who covers Wake Forest, of all places,

591
00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:53.279
<v Speaker 2>actually from Kentucky, but he covers Wake Forest, he hit

592
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:55.960
<v Speaker 2>me up yesterday. He's like, hey, man, I talked to

593
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Brohm, did a little Q and A, and then

594
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:00.960
<v Speaker 2>I talked to like four other people who also had

595
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:03.119
<v Speaker 2>a you know, Q and A with Jeff rather it

596
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:05.440
<v Speaker 2>be on the hit their radio show or just you know,

597
00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:07.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of a little video interview where he's sitting at

598
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.000
<v Speaker 2>a table answering questions from those that are covering the event,

599
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:16.160
<v Speaker 2>and he told me something that like, initially I thought, okay, like, well,

600
00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:19.119
<v Speaker 2>thanks thanks for the update. Bro really appreciate you, you know,

601
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:23.240
<v Speaker 2>giving me some intel, because what he told me is literally,

602
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:26.319
<v Speaker 2>and I mean quite literally, what you hear every coach

603
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:29.319
<v Speaker 2>say at media day, no matter the conference, no matter

604
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.160
<v Speaker 2>the coach, really like my team. And he felt like

605
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:36.359
<v Speaker 2>he was giving me some kind of like dude, I

606
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:37.799
<v Speaker 2>talked to Jeff Brawman. I know a lot of other

607
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:40.680
<v Speaker 2>people did too. He really likes his team, and I'm like, man, like,

608
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:43.680
<v Speaker 2>thanks for you, you got anything else? Like I mean,

609
00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I could every coach in the country is gonna say

610
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:47.799
<v Speaker 2>they like their team, even if they don't. They might

611
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:50.160
<v Speaker 2>hate their team. They might literally know they're about to

612
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:52.319
<v Speaker 2>get their ass fired this year because their team sucks,

613
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:54.759
<v Speaker 2>but they're gonna say we're looking forward to this season

614
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:58.720
<v Speaker 2>getting out there and playing hard, and you know, I

615
00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:02.759
<v Speaker 2>like my team in some form or fashion. But where

616
00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:04.559
<v Speaker 2>he did what he did share with me, and this

617
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:06.559
<v Speaker 2>is probably something that Jeff said in many of the

618
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.559
<v Speaker 2>interviews that he did. But Jeff Brown apparently feels really

619
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:14.200
<v Speaker 2>good about the interior on both sides that they have,

620
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:18.759
<v Speaker 2>They have depth, they have guys healthy, and that matters, right.

621
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Like offensive line, it's not really a big you know,

622
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:27.160
<v Speaker 2>it's a thankless position. Unfortunately, they're super important when it

623
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:29.799
<v Speaker 2>comes to football. But I feel like the offensive line

624
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.079
<v Speaker 2>kind of like a kicker or maybe even a punter,

625
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:36.359
<v Speaker 2>like they don't when they're if they're getting talked about

626
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:39.160
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot, it's not because they were phenomenal. It's

627
00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:41.359
<v Speaker 2>because they they messed up, you know what I mean,

628
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:44.599
<v Speaker 2>like because the quarterback got sacked or you know, a

629
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:47.440
<v Speaker 2>bunch of false starts. When it comes to the offensive line,

630
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:51.240
<v Speaker 2>like a kicker, you know, he might make ten in

631
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:56.480
<v Speaker 2>a row in multiple games from thirty yards and shorter.

632
00:29:57.319 --> 00:29:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Second he misses one of those, people are gonna say

633
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:01.480
<v Speaker 2>he's a bumb he sucks. Like there are some positions

634
00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:04.720
<v Speaker 2>within football that you know, you don't get a whole

635
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:06.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of love when you do your job really well,

636
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:09.599
<v Speaker 2>but you really get a lot of heat whenever things

637
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:14.519
<v Speaker 2>go wrong. So I think when it comes to the

638
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:17.640
<v Speaker 2>offensive line, they did lose some guys, but even the

639
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:20.839
<v Speaker 2>guys that they played last year like extensively that were

640
00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:24.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, that were good, were hurt and played hurt.

641
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:28.160
<v Speaker 2>And I think, you know, I go back to the

642
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Pittrino days and this is when this was you know,

643
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:34.440
<v Speaker 2>this was around the time you know that Brian played here,

644
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Brian brom that era, so you know Jeff was here

645
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:39.160
<v Speaker 2>too on the staff. You know because that team, man,

646
00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:41.519
<v Speaker 2>they had so many NFL players on it, not just

647
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.599
<v Speaker 2>brom not just Brian's era, but like two thousand and four,

648
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.519
<v Speaker 2>when Brian was a freshman and la Forest was the quarterback,

649
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:50.519
<v Speaker 2>like that was a Conference USA team. You know how

650
00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:52.720
<v Speaker 2>many NFL guys were on that team? A lot of them.

651
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:57.880
<v Speaker 2>And I remember, and this is a relatively obvious observation,

652
00:30:58.480 --> 00:30:59.920
<v Speaker 2>but at the time, I was a lot younger. You know,

653
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:04.359
<v Speaker 2>I got two thousand and four, I was fifteen years old,

654
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:06.640
<v Speaker 2>fourteen years old or something like that. But you know,

655
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:08.119
<v Speaker 2>that was one of the best teams. In fact, I

656
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:10.039
<v Speaker 2>think you could make the case that from a talent perspective,

657
00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:12.640
<v Speaker 2>that may be the best Louisville team ever. But anyways,

658
00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:17.759
<v Speaker 2>Bobby made the point that if you've got everybody healthy

659
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:21.920
<v Speaker 2>and you know you're playing well, and you've got a

660
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:24.319
<v Speaker 2>good team like they had, you can go play against

661
00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:26.519
<v Speaker 2>the elite of the elite and give yourself a chance

662
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.960
<v Speaker 2>to win. But where you really, really, I guess, have

663
00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:32.720
<v Speaker 2>a wake up call as to where you are in

664
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:34.960
<v Speaker 2>the food chain of college football, is that they can

665
00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:38.839
<v Speaker 2>go too deep and not miss much right, not drop off,

666
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:42.519
<v Speaker 2>even if they've got an all American player that did that.

667
00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:45.160
<v Speaker 2>It's on the edge, and he goes down with an injury,

668
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:46.960
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna bring in somebody that may not be an

669
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:48.880
<v Speaker 2>All American player, but he's gonna be good enough to

670
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:51.319
<v Speaker 2>where you're gonna know he was a five star recruit.

671
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.720
<v Speaker 2>And that's why I went to that school. So Louisville,

672
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:56.200
<v Speaker 2>of course is a power for program, but you know,

673
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:58.359
<v Speaker 2>they don't recruit like the elite of the elite. And

674
00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not acting as if Louisvill's got five are sitting

675
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:02.640
<v Speaker 2>on the bench waiting to play. But with the portal,

676
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:06.039
<v Speaker 2>they they now feel like they can they can really

677
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:09.119
<v Speaker 2>roll in guys in the interior on both sides and

678
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:10.799
<v Speaker 2>not have a huge drop off. Right, They're not going

679
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:13.559
<v Speaker 2>to bring in somebody from the sideline to give to

680
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:16.880
<v Speaker 2>give Ashton Jalatti a break. That's going to give you

681
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Ashton Jalatti production because he's a first team All American preseason.

682
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:22.640
<v Speaker 2>So but you know that that actually is one of

683
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:25.440
<v Speaker 2>the little things that you know, I felt underwhelmed initially,

684
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:27.200
<v Speaker 2>but once he started kind of explaining to me what,

685
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:29.960
<v Speaker 2>you know what what what really stood out as far

686
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:31.920
<v Speaker 2>as why Jeff Brown feels good about his team. And

687
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:34.240
<v Speaker 2>one of the things he also said is that you know,

688
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:36.759
<v Speaker 2>brom had a quiet confidence about him, which I told him. Look, look,

689
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:40.799
<v Speaker 2>i mean, Jeff's pretty robotic at these things, right, He's

690
00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:42.759
<v Speaker 2>going to give you legitimate answers where he's going to

691
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:45.759
<v Speaker 2>talk football and mention personnel. And it's not as if

692
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:48.480
<v Speaker 2>you mean Bobby's Bobby's the robot, So Jeff's not that.

693
00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:51.359
<v Speaker 2>But I do get the sense that they really like

694
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:54.599
<v Speaker 2>their team. And I'll say this, they had they had

695
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:57.279
<v Speaker 2>some issues during the spring with guys that came in

696
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:01.160
<v Speaker 2>and and and were potentially going to be a huge

697
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:03.640
<v Speaker 2>cancer to the locker room. And a lot of those

698
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:07.079
<v Speaker 2>guys left, right, the guys who transferred in for money

699
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:09.759
<v Speaker 2>and then bailed. And I'm not just talking about Penny Boon.

700
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:12.640
<v Speaker 2>There were some other guys too. And I think you

701
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:17.279
<v Speaker 2>know Brohm, who, by the way, has absolutely managed the

702
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:20.599
<v Speaker 2>portal as good as anybody, right, like Louisville has not

703
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:23.039
<v Speaker 2>lost in his it's just two years, right, just to

704
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:26.839
<v Speaker 2>two off seasons, roughly, they've not lost anybody where you're like, man,

705
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:30.039
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna be We're gonna be doomed without this guy.

706
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:32.400
<v Speaker 2>And there have been some guys though that they've lost

707
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:33.720
<v Speaker 2>where you feel like, you know, I woulted that guy

708
00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to stick around. We've seen him make plays, But then

709
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:37.920
<v Speaker 2>you go see them get somebody that you have to

710
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:40.000
<v Speaker 2>honestly look at the two and say, you know that

711
00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:43.119
<v Speaker 2>they brought somebody in that's better. But I think there's

712
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:44.920
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of fire under Jeff as far as

713
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:47.640
<v Speaker 2>how that played out because some of the guys they lost,

714
00:33:48.279 --> 00:33:51.720
<v Speaker 2>the kids, the kid from Tennessee, which I'm not even

715
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:53.079
<v Speaker 2>sure where he ended up. Did he go to Ole

716
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:57.440
<v Speaker 2>miss the Tyler's that Tyler Baron, It's not relevant, but

717
00:33:57.759 --> 00:33:59.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, he was a guy that really did help

718
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Louisvill's trends for portal ranking. So did Penny Boon. And

719
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:06.279
<v Speaker 2>those guys were those guys were bad news. They were

720
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:09.719
<v Speaker 2>running around talking about how much money they were making

721
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:12.480
<v Speaker 2>to go there. They were lying about it, which all

722
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:15.840
<v Speaker 2>that's going to do is get everybody in the locker

723
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:18.320
<v Speaker 2>room worked up about hey, why are we you know,

724
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:21.039
<v Speaker 2>like you know, this guy's making this much money, like

725
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:23.119
<v Speaker 2>they were just here to get money and seemingly start

726
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:25.199
<v Speaker 2>trouble like that's what And I hope that wasn't the

727
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:27.440
<v Speaker 2>initial goal for them. But once they got here, that's

728
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.880
<v Speaker 2>what they did. And I think you know there was

729
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:33.760
<v Speaker 2>noise out there, Wow, another transfer portal de commits. And

730
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:37.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't mean like fans were saying that, but look,

731
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:39.599
<v Speaker 2>you guys, remember the noise that was out there during

732
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:41.840
<v Speaker 2>the off season when the portal was active and crazy.

733
00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Louisville's checks must be bouncing. Hmm, what's going on with Louisville. Well,

734
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I got a little intel that that's something Bram was

735
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:51.599
<v Speaker 2>aware of, and you know he's motivated and eager to

736
00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:53.639
<v Speaker 2>show people there's nothing wrong with what's going on at Louisville.

737
00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:55.159
<v Speaker 2>I think they've got a good team this year. Again,

738
00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:57.320
<v Speaker 2>they're still going to have a tougher schedule than last year.

739
00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:58.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not trying to say that that means they're going

740
00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:01.920
<v Speaker 2>to go ten and two once again. But to give

741
00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:03.840
<v Speaker 2>you the to give you the old cliche that you

742
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:07.480
<v Speaker 2>hear from every single football coach, Jeff likes his team.

743
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:11.079
<v Speaker 2>So I can't wait. Man, football season will be here

744
00:35:11.119 --> 00:35:13.960
<v Speaker 2>before you know it. It's gonna be great. I mean

745
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:16.679
<v Speaker 2>when I get back from vacation, I mean fall camp.

746
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:19.599
<v Speaker 2>That point, I'm assuming it's going to be close to

747
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:21.920
<v Speaker 2>underway if it's hadn't already still, I mean, actually it'll

748
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.679
<v Speaker 2>probably start here soon, it'll probably start. Why I'm on

749
00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:27.039
<v Speaker 2>vacation now that I think about it, and that's not

750
00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:28.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's not a whole lot to take from that.

751
00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:30.960
<v Speaker 2>You hope that through throughout fall camp you get some

752
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:33.639
<v Speaker 2>notable updates here and there, but like nobody gets hurt,

753
00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:37.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, you here and really they scrimmage I think

754
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:40.159
<v Speaker 2>once a week during fall camp, and to be a

755
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:42.320
<v Speaker 2>fly on the wall because they really, I mean, they

756
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:45.239
<v Speaker 2>try to replicate a real game as best they can.

757
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:47.519
<v Speaker 2>And that's where you know stuff to know anything when

758
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:50.320
<v Speaker 2>you're playing against yourself. But man, I'm ready for football

759
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:52.679
<v Speaker 2>season to start. All right, quick break, we'll come back

760
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:54.599
<v Speaker 2>on the other side. Wrap this thing up, meaning the

761
00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:56.400
<v Speaker 2>three o'clock hour. We're not wrapping up the show. We

762
00:35:56.480 --> 00:35:58.480
<v Speaker 2>still got a lot of time left and a lot

763
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:00.360
<v Speaker 2>to get into. We'll take you up to six o'clock

764
00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:01.760
<v Speaker 2>and you can take us with you wherever you go.

765
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:03.599
<v Speaker 2>Don't forget. You can listen live on the hour radio

766
00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:07.719
<v Speaker 2>app listen live at seven ninety Louisville dot Com hang out.

767
00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:13.679
<v Speaker 2>That's right. Coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's right here

768
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:16.360
<v Speaker 2>on Sports Talk seven ninety. Thanks for hanging out with us.

769
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:20.280
<v Speaker 2>So been a while since we talked about AI, John,

770
00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:25.679
<v Speaker 2>and I have I've learned a lot about AI, not

771
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:28.480
<v Speaker 2>like you know, on the back end, I really don't

772
00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:30.599
<v Speaker 2>know how it works because it almost seems like a

773
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:34.000
<v Speaker 2>magic trick, to be honest with you, But I have

774
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:38.199
<v Speaker 2>found a lot of useful tools when it comes to

775
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:41.679
<v Speaker 2>AI that have blown my mind. So I used to

776
00:36:41.719 --> 00:36:44.559
<v Speaker 2>be scared of AI, and we probably still should be,

777
00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:48.519
<v Speaker 2>but I have at least benefited from like how easy

778
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:52.920
<v Speaker 2>things can can get done by utilizing an AI tool.

779
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:55.639
<v Speaker 2>And I bring this up because the New York Post

780
00:36:55.760 --> 00:37:01.000
<v Speaker 2>just just posted a story that says open aists search

781
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:06.239
<v Speaker 2>GPT prototype as a direct challenge to the Google search engine.

782
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:10.760
<v Speaker 2>So Google is still the undefeated search engine, right like

783
00:37:11.480 --> 00:37:14.599
<v Speaker 2>we talked about being still like the the default for

784
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:18.199
<v Speaker 2>like UHDG. Yeah. And by the way, Edge, I mean,

785
00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I still can't believe John defended in an Explorer the

786
00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:23.199
<v Speaker 2>other day, but Edge they bounced back with Edge. Like

787
00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:25.960
<v Speaker 2>edges a good browser. I'm still I'm still team Chrome.

788
00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:28.320
<v Speaker 2>But Edge is a really good browser and it can

789
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:29.679
<v Speaker 2>do a lot of things. In fact, there's some things

790
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Edge can do that Google Chrome can't. But Google, as

791
00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:35.480
<v Speaker 2>far as search engine, I think it's been the default

792
00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:37.000
<v Speaker 2>for a long time. And I don't feel like they've

793
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:40.800
<v Speaker 2>had a whole lot of real, you know, direct competitiveness,

794
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:44.239
<v Speaker 2>like you know, yeah was yeah, yeah, competitor. I don't

795
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:47.039
<v Speaker 2>know anybody who uses I mean, first Google put ask

796
00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:50.480
<v Speaker 2>jeeves in a body bag, then they toe tagged Yahoo.

797
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean like they they killed all their competition. And

798
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:56.639
<v Speaker 2>now AI, I think is is I mean, from what

799
00:37:56.800 --> 00:38:00.519
<v Speaker 2>I've seen already with AI that like I mean essentially

800
00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:06.440
<v Speaker 2>the ask the chat GPT, I mean like that, I

801
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:08.320
<v Speaker 2>mean I use that and not Google a lot. Now

802
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:10.719
<v Speaker 2>Google will give you a bunch of articles to reference.

803
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:13.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a deep web search, which is super valuable. Like

804
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:14.920
<v Speaker 2>I still Google a lot of things, but when it

805
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:18.119
<v Speaker 2>comes down to like, you know, simple questions rather than

806
00:38:18.159 --> 00:38:23.039
<v Speaker 2>an Internet search, I mean, chat GPT is really really valuable.

807
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:26.360
<v Speaker 2>And I mean there are things that you could put

808
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:28.960
<v Speaker 2>together that makes it look as if you like cause

809
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:31.159
<v Speaker 2>I think it's still relative. AI is still very new

810
00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:32.800
<v Speaker 2>and there's a lot of people that know of it,

811
00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:35.199
<v Speaker 2>but they don't utilize it. Therefore they don't really know that.

812
00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Like somebody could give you something that looks as if

813
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:43.800
<v Speaker 2>they spent two weeks putting together a presentation like a

814
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:46.320
<v Speaker 2>proposal or something like that, and it took them five

815
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:50.000
<v Speaker 2>minutes by just using an AI tool. Like that's crazy,

816
00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:54.559
<v Speaker 2>it's crazy. I mean I've now utilized AI tools as

817
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:56.960
<v Speaker 2>far as prepping for this show, and it's like made

818
00:38:57.039 --> 00:39:01.719
<v Speaker 2>life insanely easier. So I benefit from it now to

819
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:04.519
<v Speaker 2>where I'm not necessarily scared. But when it comes down

820
00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:08.119
<v Speaker 2>to like you know certain, and this is going to

821
00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:16.559
<v Speaker 2>sound really like obnoxious or you know, self centered, like

822
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:21.880
<v Speaker 2>what we do, Like I don't want to say it's art,

823
00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:24.599
<v Speaker 2>because it's not, but like it's you know, like who

824
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:27.639
<v Speaker 2>we are as people have a big, a big factor.

825
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Maybe not and I don't mean like from a moral standpoint,

826
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:33.440
<v Speaker 2>but like personality, you know, like we try to entertain

827
00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:35.880
<v Speaker 2>and and really put our Like again, you know, many

828
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:38.599
<v Speaker 2>people out there have a platform now to talk sports

829
00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:41.039
<v Speaker 2>and talk about anything and share an opinion. And that's

830
00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:42.800
<v Speaker 2>great that everybody has the ability to do that. So

831
00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:45.519
<v Speaker 2>it's even more important for you to put your own

832
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:49.360
<v Speaker 2>flavor on it, you to put your own stamp on it.

833
00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:51.599
<v Speaker 2>That makes you different, and it's never been more important

834
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:53.320
<v Speaker 2>where you have to do that because it's so watered

835
00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:56.960
<v Speaker 2>down now. So like, if there's ever a day where

836
00:39:57.119 --> 00:40:01.639
<v Speaker 2>AI has its you know, we have sports radio or

837
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:05.599
<v Speaker 2>sports podcast, sports content whether it be audio or visual,

838
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:08.239
<v Speaker 2>and it's all AI based. Like I can't really see

839
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:10.840
<v Speaker 2>a world where that happened, but maybe I shouldn't underestimate it.

840
00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:14.119
<v Speaker 1>That's that's when it becomes over reliance on AI. If

841
00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:16.960
<v Speaker 1>it can help you do your daily tasks or with

842
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:19.559
<v Speaker 1>something like a project like you were mentioning, I think

843
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:25.280
<v Speaker 1>that's totally harmless. But whenever you eliminate the true human interaction, yeah,

844
00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:27.639
<v Speaker 1>that's when it becomes a lot more dangerous.

845
00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, and if somebody has and if somebody has a

846
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:34.079
<v Speaker 2>craft that you know like they it would suck. If

847
00:40:34.119 --> 00:40:37.840
<v Speaker 2>you let me give you an example. I know a

848
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:42.039
<v Speaker 2>buddy of mine who he's always had like two different jobs.

849
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:45.000
<v Speaker 2>He's got his career and he's got his job that

850
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:47.679
<v Speaker 2>he wants to be his career, but he's never really

851
00:40:47.719 --> 00:40:49.719
<v Speaker 2>been comfortable enough to where he could bail on his career.

852
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:52.639
<v Speaker 2>He is an audio engineer, he mixes music. He is

853
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:55.440
<v Speaker 2>somebody that will take a recording session from a music

854
00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:57.599
<v Speaker 2>artist or a band, and he will make it sound

855
00:40:57.679 --> 00:40:59.360
<v Speaker 2>ready for radio. He's really good at what he does.

856
00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:01.559
<v Speaker 2>He went to school for it, and he you know,

857
00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:04.079
<v Speaker 2>worked his ass off to be good enough to get

858
00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:07.159
<v Speaker 2>work and be respected in that industry. There are now

859
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:11.159
<v Speaker 2>AI tools that can do that. And he's even told me,

860
00:41:11.800 --> 00:41:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I gotta be honest, man, my ear, I have an

861
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:16.079
<v Speaker 2>ear for this. It's what I do. It doesn't sound

862
00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:18.199
<v Speaker 2>much different than some of the best engineers you'll ever find,

863
00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:22.159
<v Speaker 2>and like that is potentially going to eliminate what he

864
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:26.280
<v Speaker 2>worked his life for, like and that's sad, but also

865
00:41:26.760 --> 00:41:29.559
<v Speaker 2>it's business to where if they can get away without

866
00:41:29.679 --> 00:41:32.599
<v Speaker 2>paying somebody a ton of money. Like again, there's levels

867
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:35.800
<v Speaker 2>to it to where like hey, I'm running your board

868
00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:37.320
<v Speaker 2>in here, let me make sure your levels are up

869
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:38.760
<v Speaker 2>for your MIC's and the drums or this and that.

870
00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:40.719
<v Speaker 2>It's like a I like, you know, maybe they get

871
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:42.280
<v Speaker 2>to the point where it can be that, but the

872
00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:44.480
<v Speaker 2>human interaction thing is like I don't I just can't

873
00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:46.920
<v Speaker 2>imagine there's a point where people get totally comfortable with that,

874
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:49.000
<v Speaker 2>like you're always going to I think what I would

875
00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:51.079
<v Speaker 2>hope is that you still like those people can use

876
00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:54.440
<v Speaker 2>AI tools to continue to maybe more efficiently do what

877
00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:56.199
<v Speaker 2>they do, if that makes sense, Like the fact the

878
00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:58.440
<v Speaker 2>thought of them not having those jobs is I guess

879
00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:00.280
<v Speaker 2>it's a realistic thing. But like it's just like I

880
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:01.719
<v Speaker 2>hope it didn't come to that. Like let me give

881
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:04.880
<v Speaker 2>you an example, Siri, who you talk to on your

882
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:11.280
<v Speaker 2>phone Alexa on your devices, Like there's no like there's

883
00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:15.119
<v Speaker 2>no connection there, Like you don't really Like I don't

884
00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:18.000
<v Speaker 2>really trust Siri. I don't really trust Alexa, like because

885
00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:19.960
<v Speaker 2>they you know, Like and by the way, like because

886
00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:21.960
<v Speaker 2>I know they're not real humans, I speak to them

887
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:23.719
<v Speaker 2>in a way that I hope my mother never hears.

888
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:27.159
<v Speaker 2>Like if I gotta say if I gotta say it

889
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:31.079
<v Speaker 2>three times to Alexa, she's gonna she's gonna know what

890
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:31.920
<v Speaker 2>I think about her.

891
00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:32.280
<v Speaker 3>See.

892
00:42:32.320 --> 00:42:34.800
<v Speaker 1>And that's the other problem with this though, is that eventually,

893
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:36.559
<v Speaker 1>when they become self aware, that's when they turn on

894
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:37.599
<v Speaker 1>us because we abuse them.

895
00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and there's a movie about that.

896
00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:41.719
<v Speaker 3>Is that's a terminator?

897
00:42:41.800 --> 00:42:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Right? No? That? And uh, there's a Will Smith movie

898
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Is that I Robot? Maybe? Yeah, I if you saw

899
00:42:47.320 --> 00:42:49.239
<v Speaker 2>that or not? But like that was that was the

900
00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:51.039
<v Speaker 2>first and at that point where like when that movie

901
00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:52.760
<v Speaker 2>came out, is that what it's called I Robot?

902
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:54.639
<v Speaker 3>I know he's in a movie called I Robot.

903
00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Either way, like at that point that movie came

904
00:42:57.559 --> 00:42:59.440
<v Speaker 2>in in two thousand and four, that movie's twenty years old,

905
00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:01.199
<v Speaker 2>there was no thought that that would ever be in

906
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:04.199
<v Speaker 2>any way realistic. But you know, here we are, like

907
00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:06.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you know, I don't remember that

908
00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:10.840
<v Speaker 2>movie in great detail, but like you know, if we

909
00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:16.000
<v Speaker 2>start creating technology that you know, can do everything we

910
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:18.400
<v Speaker 2>can and there's no emotion involved, they can just be

911
00:43:18.760 --> 00:43:22.280
<v Speaker 2>like maybe they just realize, hey, we're gonna take over

912
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:27.480
<v Speaker 2>civilization if it Yeah, I mean getting a little ahead

913
00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:31.960
<v Speaker 2>of myself here, but I would challenge somebody this weekend

914
00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:37.559
<v Speaker 2>or whenever. Maybe. Now, think it's something that you do

915
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:43.760
<v Speaker 2>throughout your day to day job, whether it be documentation, writing, creative,

916
00:43:43.840 --> 00:43:46.320
<v Speaker 2>whatever it may be. I bet if you looked hard

917
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:47.840
<v Speaker 2>enough on the internet, you probably don't have to look

918
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:51.000
<v Speaker 2>that hard. Actually you'd find something that you could utilize

919
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:55.519
<v Speaker 2>that like would change everything about your workday. Now, they

920
00:43:55.599 --> 00:43:58.440
<v Speaker 2>also have technology through AI where you can check in

921
00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:01.360
<v Speaker 2>reference to see if something that is presented was created

922
00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:03.719
<v Speaker 2>by AI, which you know you gotta be careful about that.

923
00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:05.760
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, we got two more hours left, so stick

924
00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:07.559
<v Speaker 2>around right here on Sports Talk seven ninety
