Speaker 1: It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven ninety. Holy crap, I don't know who
Speaker 1: the hell we think when we are get off our show, idiots.
Speaker 1: The kids are crying or turning off, crying. The countries
Speaker 1: are screwing it up.
Speaker 2: Gold Play inter.
Speaker 1: Murals, Brother, gold Play inn Murals. They're supposed to be
Speaker 1: mature adults, but they're really not. Who's the kid here?
Speaker 2: Who's the kid here?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Now? Here's Nick Coffee.
Speaker 3: All right, ladies and gentlemen, you made it. It's Friday.
Speaker 3: As we get you set for the weekend. Here for
Speaker 3: a Friday edition of Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's
Speaker 3: on Sports Talk seven ninety. I feel like, not like
Speaker 3: the last day of school, but I feel like I
Speaker 3: feel good now. I'm out of here for a week
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna be heading to Destin and I'm super
Speaker 3: excited for this trip. It's our family vacation and I'm
Speaker 3: always excited to go. But I am gonna miss out
Speaker 3: on some stuff. We're gonna have a huge matchup on
Speaker 3: Monday Night between Law Familia and The Ville, and I
Speaker 3: can't imagine that the atmosphere is not going to be electric.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna watch that, of course, but you know
Speaker 3: I won't I'm not going to be able to be
Speaker 3: there and I won't be able to react to it
Speaker 3: on the show. And then also, we've got two Louisville
Speaker 3: basketball games that we're gonna be able to watch because
Speaker 3: you know, they're playing in the Bahamas, and that's pretty
Speaker 3: freaking awesome, is it not. So you know, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: be enjoying vacation and not working. But still, you know,
Speaker 3: I guess it's gonna be full fan mode, right Like,
Speaker 3: I don't have to worry about preparing to give thoughts.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll do that whenever I get back from vacation,
Speaker 3: but you know, at that point, I'm not really sure
Speaker 3: how relevant it'll be as far as you know, I'll
Speaker 3: share my thoughts, but you know, it's not like I'm
Speaker 3: going to come back from vacation and spend three hours
Speaker 3: talking about a basketball game played in the Bahamas that
Speaker 3: took place a week before. But anyways, I'm excited for
Speaker 3: everything going on. You know, this is the worst time
Speaker 3: of the year when it comes to sports, at least
Speaker 3: in my opinion, and We've been given a nice shot
Speaker 3: in the arm with some summer hoops, and football's right
Speaker 3: around the corner. And I'm pumped. And I feel like
Speaker 3: when I get back from vacation, like you know, it's
Speaker 3: gonna be let's see here. I guess the day that
Speaker 3: I give back will be August the let's see August
Speaker 3: the fifth, so we'll still have, you know, roughly a
Speaker 3: month before football season actually gets here. But you know,
Speaker 3: at that point, I kind of feel like we've made it,
Speaker 3: like we have gone through the dog days of summer,
Speaker 3: as they say. So I'm pumped, but I have been
Speaker 3: really agitated all day today. But I'm in a good
Speaker 3: mood now because you know, it's Friday. Friday shows are
Speaker 3: always a lot of fun. But John, I have a
Speaker 3: feeling that at some point in my life I may
Speaker 3: fall victim to road rage.
Speaker 2: I was. I was pretty pissed coming to work. You're
Speaker 2: talking about the traffic. I was pretty pissed too, So.
Speaker 3: That wasn't even like I was able to avoid that,
Speaker 3: but not because like I've thought ahead. I actually somebody
Speaker 3: that I'm friends with on Facebook posted a picture that
Speaker 3: showed they were going southbound on sixty five and of
Speaker 3: course I had north to come to work every day,
Speaker 3: and they just showed what it looked like on the
Speaker 3: other side. I mean it was, I mean, nobody moving
Speaker 3: like it was an absolute for two hours or so.
Speaker 3: I guess. I mean, maybe it's still that way right now.
Speaker 3: I'm not quite sure. But you know, had I not
Speaker 3: seen that and thought, okay, well, you know what, let
Speaker 3: me let me go a different way. So anyways, when
Speaker 3: I say victim of road rage, like, I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: you know, I'm I don't. I'm not somebody that is
Speaker 3: going to seek out confrontation in any way. That's just
Speaker 3: not me, not my demeanor. You know, I've told that
Speaker 3: story before years ago. I stopped at I stopped at
Speaker 3: that truck stop off the Brooks exit when I was
Speaker 3: coming into work when I did the morning shift, and
Speaker 3: you know, I parked, you know, kind of half asleep,
Speaker 3: and there was a guy in a big old truck.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not good with truck terminology, but his
Speaker 3: truck was big John. It was a big truck, you know,
Speaker 3: one's country song big yeah. One that wouldn't fit in
Speaker 3: like our garage here, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 3: because he had a huge truck and I did not park,
Speaker 3: you know, correctly at the pump. He kind of had
Speaker 3: to wait for me to finish pumping gas before he
Speaker 3: could get maneuvered himself to get to that pump, which was,
Speaker 3: you know, inconsiderate of me. You know, like I just
Speaker 3: wasn't thinking. I was half asleep. You know, it's my bad.
Speaker 3: But he gets out of the truck all billy badass
Speaker 3: and coming over and you know, got got real aggressive
Speaker 3: about like, you know, I don't remember what he said.
Speaker 3: All I know is I said, look, I'm not looking
Speaker 3: for trouble, which is something I've never said in my
Speaker 3: life before. Never, I'm not, like, you know, I've never
Speaker 3: been in a situation where I got to tell somebody, hey, easy,
Speaker 3: I'm not looking for trouble. But that's just what I said.
Speaker 3: And you know, he said something that I'll never forget
Speaker 3: sticks with me to this day. In fact, some people
Speaker 3: still bring it up every now and then. He said,
Speaker 3: well that's good because I'm from Spencer County, and I
Speaker 3: just knew at that point, you know, I'm not going
Speaker 3: to mess with anybody from Spencer County, and you know,
Speaker 3: I guess they are looking for trouble. If you're looking
Speaker 3: for it, they'll they'll deliver it for you. So anyways,
Speaker 3: that was like the most intense situation I've ever had
Speaker 3: communicating with somebody on the road. And I wasn't even
Speaker 3: on the road, so I'm not gonna yell at anybody.
Speaker 3: But you never know, like people are crazy, right, Like
Speaker 3: you might just you know, ride somebody's ass on the
Speaker 3: interstay of follow you home shoots you in the head.
Speaker 3: Like that's a little extreme, but you know, you never know.
Speaker 3: Maybe somebody's having a bad day and they just lose it.
Speaker 3: I mean, it can happen. I'm not sure if you
Speaker 3: guys have seen that awful video from Indianapolis where there
Speaker 3: was clearly a road raged situation going on and a
Speaker 3: guy jumps out of his truck and has a gun
Speaker 3: in his hand and leaves it like kind of by
Speaker 3: his waist, but he walks up to a dude and
Speaker 3: you know, starts yelling at him being the aggressor holding
Speaker 3: his gun. Well, the guy in the truck, the guy
Speaker 3: in the vehicle who he approached, he was carrying too,
Speaker 3: and he just shot him right in the neck and
Speaker 3: killed him. And honestly that it was justified self defense.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's what it was. So, you know,
Speaker 3: like I don't think that's ever going to happen to me,
Speaker 3: but I just get so frustrated. But it's not like
Speaker 3: I'm going to lay on the horn or you know,
Speaker 3: get into a fight on the road where I'm like,
Speaker 3: you know, getting up next to their car. But like,
Speaker 3: you know, I could just be I get frustrated, right,
Speaker 3: and I feel like I'm not alone. But then again,
Speaker 3: everybody deals with traffic, right. Traffic doesn't pick on anybody.
Speaker 3: I'm not a victim. It's just life. And our traffic
Speaker 3: here in this area is relatively light compared to most
Speaker 3: places in fact, you know, I don't know if it's
Speaker 3: been in proved, but there was one at one point
Speaker 3: of study done that said that per population and like
Speaker 3: size meaning the amount of people and just the size
Speaker 3: of the city, Lexington is one of the worst places
Speaker 3: in the world for traffic. So like, we don't have
Speaker 3: it that bad, but yet I just get so frustrated
Speaker 3: this morning. I mean, I hit every single light. That's
Speaker 3: nobody's fault, but I do get pissed off when someone
Speaker 3: is scared of the yellow light. Like we could have
Speaker 3: both made the yellow light with ease, yet you you
Speaker 3: got low t or something you won't put you won't
Speaker 3: put the foot to the floor and and and ride through.
Speaker 3: And I mean it just you know, it's it's it's frustrating.
Speaker 3: And then I was at I was on Preston Highway
Speaker 3: and I needed to get to the turning lane, so
Speaker 3: I was going to the bank. And I mean, traffic
Speaker 3: is is not great in the middle of the day
Speaker 3: in that area, but you know, I had to sit
Speaker 3: through another light only because people leave humongous gaps between
Speaker 3: them and other cars. You ever notice that, Yes, like that,
Speaker 3: Like I'm not saying you got to get bumper to
Speaker 3: bumper with somebody, but you know, I could have easily
Speaker 3: made my way to that turning lane if everybody would have,
Speaker 3: you know, had a reasonable distance between the car in
Speaker 3: front of them instead of you know, being ten yards
Speaker 3: between the two cars. So you know, I finally maneuver
Speaker 3: around sitting at the light once again, I look over,
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, and I mean I'm not gesturing anything,
Speaker 3: but I'm just thinking, like, you know, how about you
Speaker 3: how about people be a little more considerate.
Speaker 2: I think that that kind of stuff angers me the most,
Speaker 2: at least just for me specifically, is when I'm at
Speaker 2: a stoplight and you're in like the turning lane right
Speaker 2: and the light turns green, but the car in front
Speaker 2: of you may be the first car to move, but
Speaker 2: they're down looking at their phone, okay something, and they
Speaker 2: don't move, so they keep maybe you, but normally a
Speaker 2: few other cars who are behind you from making it
Speaker 2: through the light because they're not paying attention.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because of their slow start, you know it. And
Speaker 3: that's where again, like that is that I don't get.
Speaker 3: That's not malicious, but it is something that someone has
Speaker 3: done by just being careless and whatever that has not
Speaker 3: ruined your day, but like they've held you up whenever
Speaker 3: you if they would have just been more alert, you
Speaker 3: wouldn't have been held up. So the traffic today on six,
Speaker 3: I mean there wasn't a wreck.
Speaker 2: Right, No, I don't think so. I didn't notice a wreck.
Speaker 3: So and if so, then that changes it. But you know,
Speaker 3: I ended up but GPS did it took me from SNYT.
Speaker 3: It took me Snyder West to National Turnpike, take a right,
Speaker 3: and then ended up. I ended up on I guess
Speaker 3: I was on outer Loop for a long stretch there,
Speaker 3: and then it shot me from outer Loop to sixty
Speaker 3: five North and right where that ramp is is exactly
Speaker 3: where they had three fire trucks. I mean a ton
Speaker 3: of workers. So I mean it looked like they were
Speaker 3: doing I don't know what they were doing. I don't
Speaker 3: want to. I mean, maybe they'd already clean. I don't
Speaker 3: think there was a wreck because I feel like they
Speaker 3: it wouldn't have lasted that long. I think I don't
Speaker 3: know if they paint were painting the road, meaning the lines,
Speaker 3: or they were you know, fixing something, and like that
Speaker 3: stuff's got to happen obviously, but you know, do it
Speaker 3: at night. I mean, I guess you need daylight, but
Speaker 3: they got lights. Like if there's something that's going to
Speaker 3: be a lot of work that's going to cause you
Speaker 3: to close down, like every lane but one on a
Speaker 3: major interstate, there's not a perfect time to do it.
Speaker 3: I mean, I would say middle of the night, but
Speaker 3: you know, I'm sure these workers don't want to be
Speaker 3: working in the middle of the night, and I'm sure
Speaker 3: it's not as easy to do it whenever you know
Speaker 3: you're relying on light instead of you know, the sun
Speaker 3: in daylight. But yeah, just to you know, if that's
Speaker 3: the worst thing that happens to me today, I'll probably
Speaker 3: still be able to say that I had a great Friday.
Speaker 3: But I just find myself getting more agitated about that
Speaker 3: than I ever had before. And yet I'm not a
Speaker 3: I mean, in fact, I feel like, you know, as
Speaker 3: far as getting worked up and stressed out, like I'm
Speaker 3: in a pretty good place right now, except whenever I'm on the.
Speaker 2: Road, I'm the same way too. And here's the thing
Speaker 2: that I think, and one other thing about traffic that
Speaker 2: pisses me off. I feel like I only get stuck
Speaker 2: in it whenever I'm running behind, and I don't know
Speaker 2: why that always happens, but I feel like nine times
Speaker 2: out of ten it's when i'm already late.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's quite literally what happened to me today.
Speaker 3: In fact, there was something yesterday that I didn't even like,
Speaker 3: this is a great thing to throw into the conversation
Speaker 3: we're having here, but today I went and it's look,
Speaker 3: it's my fault. Like if I would have got him
Speaker 3: out of the house a little bit earlier than we
Speaker 3: wouldn't have to worry about it. And you know, maybe
Speaker 3: it's their fault too, because sometimes they don't listen and
Speaker 3: they don't do anything quick. But if I got them
Speaker 3: up earlier, wouldn't have been a problem. So I'll take
Speaker 3: this one. Kids. But we left the house a little
Speaker 3: later than we usually do and they still wanted their
Speaker 3: fizz Freeze from Thornton's, which we got to make a
Speaker 3: stop there, so we did and we were in and
Speaker 3: out quick as can be, and you know, it worked
Speaker 3: out perfect. We did have a Frequency Club bonus fizz
Speaker 3: freeze today because we buy enough of them, and sure enough,
Speaker 3: you get one free after the after I think every
Speaker 3: nine you purchased, the tenth is free. So we're in
Speaker 3: and we're out, and then we're hitting, you know, we're
Speaker 3: hitting every light. And he has to be at daycare
Speaker 3: by nine thirty and he was there at nine thirty two.
Speaker 3: And I would have probably been a you know, been
Speaker 3: you know, a little mouth if they told me like
Speaker 3: he couldn't come in. But they've done that before, so
Speaker 3: I'm worried that, like they're gonna say he can't come
Speaker 3: in today. And if they do that, then you know,
Speaker 3: I gotta go. I gotta find somebody to watch my kid. Today,
Speaker 3: So you know, that was frustrating. But yes while I
Speaker 3: was already running late, is when I hit every light
Speaker 3: and we I had two different people that absolutely just
Speaker 3: have no balls for the yellow light, just no balls
Speaker 3: at all. And you know, I get it's it's quite clear.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you've been driving long enough, you know,
Speaker 3: if you are in a position to where you're gonna
Speaker 3: make it easily, it's gonna be close, or you know
Speaker 3: it'll turn red while you're crossing, but you're gonna be
Speaker 3: You're gonna be your daredevil. These were two situations to
Speaker 3: where they could have, you know, they could have lowered
Speaker 3: their speed and still made it in without any trouble.
Speaker 3: But yesterday my daughter goes to uh she's got a
Speaker 3: babysitter who watched her a lot this summer, and she
Speaker 3: lives in a neighborhood near where we are, and they
Speaker 3: were doing they're doing pavement. They were like repaving the road,
Speaker 3: which is not that uncommon. So there's this guy, he
Speaker 3: doesn't have it blocked off like the neighborhood entrance, but
Speaker 3: he's just sitting out there in front of a truck,
Speaker 3: like in front of the neighborhood sign. So I tried
Speaker 3: to turn in. He jumped up and was like, no,
Speaker 3: you know, you got to go in the other entrance.
Speaker 3: And I said, I where's the other entrance and he
Speaker 3: pointed down. He was like, it's by the golf course.
Speaker 3: And I'm thinking, I don't I don't even know where
Speaker 3: there's a golf course in the next ten miles from
Speaker 3: where we are, So sure enough, it shot me like
Speaker 3: all the way down from Brooks Road to Fairdale. I'm
Speaker 3: you know, I'm I'm I'm moving around all kinds of
Speaker 3: different places. I put it in the GPS and it
Speaker 3: ends up shooting me right back to the same entrance
Speaker 3: in the gas like you get lost, And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure the entrance you're talking about it is
Speaker 3: not an entrance to this neighborhood. You shot me ten
Speaker 3: miles down the road when I'm literally about two hundred
Speaker 3: yards from the home I needed to go to. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: you should be good to go ahead and ride on it.
Speaker 3: You know, I think you're good now. And I'm like, okay, well,
Speaker 3: this guy doesn't seem too confident. Am I going to
Speaker 3: drive in? You know? We whatever? You asphalt? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is it? You know?
Speaker 3: Blacktop. It was blacktop, so I'm like, is my car
Speaker 3: gonna just sink? And now I mean like it was
Speaker 3: just a complete you know what. So yeah, I won't
Speaker 3: be doing much driving, really any driving next week because
Speaker 3: I'll be on the beach and I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 3: So anyways, I know you guys tuned in because you
Speaker 3: care very much about my personal issue for traffic and whatnot.
Speaker 3: So you know, I appreciate you guys being the therapist
Speaker 3: and let me talk through it because now I feel better.
Speaker 3: All right. It is coffee and Company. As I mentioned,
Speaker 3: we are feeled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven
Speaker 3: ninety Nick Coffee. That's me the company man, mister John
Speaker 3: All on the alongside as we take you up to
Speaker 3: to get your set for the weekend. And uh, there's
Speaker 3: a lot to get into today. And I mean that
Speaker 3: I think I might have a fix for the ACC.
Speaker 3: Now I'm not gonna take credit for it, as if
Speaker 3: I came up with this plan, I'll give credit to
Speaker 3: the one and the only mister C. L. Brown of
Speaker 3: the Courier Journal, who I didn't see his actual column,
Speaker 3: but Sports Business Journal, I believe is the is the
Speaker 3: is the outlet that put together they put together a
Speaker 3: few different put together a piece that has a few
Speaker 3: different quick hit quotes from stories from beat writers across
Speaker 3: the ACC as far as what they expect, what they
Speaker 3: expect Jim Phillips to do, like what realistically could make
Speaker 3: the put the league in a better place. And I
Speaker 3: thought CL's point was spot on, and that is stop
Speaker 3: giving Boston College and Wake Forest and you know, Virginia
Speaker 3: Tech even or something. Mean, maybe they're maybe I'm picking
Speaker 3: on them, but like, if you really want to keep
Speaker 3: the league to get and keep everybody happy, the easy
Speaker 3: scenario is to start paying what you are worth. Because
Speaker 3: here's the thing. If you start paying less to the
Speaker 3: Boston colleges of the world, what are they gonna do?
Speaker 3: Leave the league? No, they're they're hoping the league doesn't
Speaker 3: blow up, because if it does, I mean, what are
Speaker 3: they gonna do? And other schools are in that situation
Speaker 3: as well, but like they know, they're not worthy of
Speaker 3: half the money that they get from the ACC. So
Speaker 3: if you have to, you know, again, you run into
Speaker 3: an issue where okay, well maybe they'll hold up that
Speaker 3: grand of rights. Well nobody can hold it because nobody
Speaker 3: can actually see it. They keep it locked away, nobody
Speaker 3: can actually view it. But you know they'll start yelling
Speaker 3: grand of rights, grand of rights because they signed and
Speaker 3: it was till twenty thirty six, and you know they
Speaker 3: would be they would be entitled to do that, and
Speaker 3: they and they probably should do that. However, give them
Speaker 3: the latter, All right, Well, okay, that's what you want
Speaker 3: to do, Maybe we let Florida State, Miami and some
Speaker 3: other schools out. Do you want that, because then you
Speaker 3: get less? Like either way, you're getting less, because if
Speaker 3: those schools leave and we have to do a new deal,
Speaker 3: we have less value and you're gonna get less anyway,
Speaker 3: like holding to the fire. And I don't know if
Speaker 3: that's gonna make Florida State and Clemson happy. But I
Speaker 3: actually don't think that deep down they really want to
Speaker 3: be away from the ACC because they run the league essentially, right,
Speaker 3: they're the big brands. They like, there's some real benefits
Speaker 3: to being the big dog, right especially now with the
Speaker 3: playoff expanded, if they go to the Big ten or
Speaker 3: the SEC, you know, much harder it is for them
Speaker 3: to get in the playoff a lot harder now. They
Speaker 3: want money. Money matters, but again you can, you know,
Speaker 3: and by the way, it's still not gonna put you
Speaker 3: close to where the Big ten in the SEC is.
Speaker 3: But I wasn't like I crunched some numbers. But there
Speaker 3: was a great breakdown from some I'm trying to figure
Speaker 3: out who it is because I want to make sure
Speaker 3: I give this guy credit because he did a great
Speaker 3: job of really kind of laying out. It's Luke Fletcher,
Speaker 3: who as a college football writer for Saturday Blitz, and
Speaker 3: he really broke down that there is added revenue coming
Speaker 3: in for the ACC. You know, they're they're they're they're
Speaker 3: increasing revenue, and that's what you want. But you know
Speaker 3: it's not a whole lot, right and you know you're
Speaker 3: locked Angel twenty thirty six. So it's not as if, okay,
Speaker 3: it's all blown out of proportion, everybody's overreacting. The league
Speaker 3: is bringing in more money. Everything's great, but it's something.
Speaker 3: It's something, and that that, you know, anything helps. Also,
Speaker 3: I do want to let you guys hear what Matt
Speaker 3: Ruhle had to say at the Big Ten Media Days
Speaker 3: yesterday and Paul Finebaum's response to it, which is not
Speaker 3: so surprising that Paul Finebaum is very anti Big ten.
Speaker 3: But I want to take that whole conversation in a
Speaker 3: little bit of a different direction because it still amazes
Speaker 3: me that college coaches, because I don't know if there's
Speaker 3: really any other profession quite like it to where you
Speaker 3: can be in front of a huge crowd at a
Speaker 3: press conference, holding court, maybe it's live on television, and
Speaker 3: you can say things that every single person in that room,
Speaker 3: every single person watching, and you yourself know is a
Speaker 3: flat out lie, and it's just whatever. I mean, I
Speaker 3: I think NFL coaches can't do that. NBA coaches can't
Speaker 3: do that. I mean, like they can. Nobody's gonna stop them,
Speaker 3: They're not gonna get arrested. But college football coaches, specifically,
Speaker 3: some with basketball as well, especially you know the likes
Speaker 3: of the John Caliparis and the Rick Patinos of the world.
Speaker 3: But in college football, like these guys are all again,
Speaker 3: they're some of them are wired to just present themselves
Speaker 3: as if they're not human. They're just football robots that
Speaker 3: live in an alternate universe like Matt Ruhle does, where
Speaker 3: he can say things that he believes and nobody calls
Speaker 3: him on it, and you know, it's just whatever. Because
Speaker 3: that's what college football coaches do. I mean, him claiming
Speaker 3: that the Big Ten is the NFL junior and that
Speaker 3: it's the best league in the country and everybody knows it.
Speaker 3: I mean, he has not a single thing to back
Speaker 3: that up with, not a single thing. I mean, the
Speaker 3: second best league. I suppose because of brand value and
Speaker 3: history and whatnot. But I mean, as we've discussed before,
Speaker 3: with the Big Ten, they don't win much when it matters.
Speaker 3: They don't have a whole lot of championships, you know,
Speaker 3: compared to some other leagues. In fact, you know, the
Speaker 3: ACC has more championships in football in the last decade
Speaker 3: or so than the Big Ten does. And I know
Speaker 3: it's from just two schools, but still, like you know,
Speaker 3: Ohio State is the only school for a while there
Speaker 3: that really you felt like was going to be a
Speaker 3: legitimate contender. Michigan was kind of snoozing until they hired
Speaker 3: Connor Stallions. Good investment there with that hire. And then
Speaker 3: you know, like Penn State, Like when's the last time
Speaker 3: you felt like they were like special? I mean when
Speaker 3: it comes to big brands in that league, whom I
Speaker 3: forgetting John.
Speaker 2: Iowa made the playoff once in Michigan State. Iowa made
Speaker 2: the playoff. They know that they I know they could have.
Speaker 3: I know you're right with.
Speaker 2: With Michigan State because hammered by Alabama.
Speaker 3: Because I think it's safe to say in the four
Speaker 3: team playoff, the two most random teams that made it
Speaker 3: were TCU in Michigan.
Speaker 2: State, right like a Cincinnati two.
Speaker 3: Yes, but that wasn't random. It was just you know,
Speaker 3: somebody finally broke through, like they were really good. The
Speaker 3: question was always like is a G five going to
Speaker 3: get in? But yes, I would put them in somewhat
Speaker 3: of a similar category. But you know, they they had
Speaker 3: the record, and there was nobody that had a better resume.
Speaker 3: It could like nobody, there's nobody they wanted to put
Speaker 3: Cincinnati in, you know what I mean? Yeah, but no,
Speaker 3: So anyways, like I want to get into that because
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, if you could find me a profession
Speaker 3: that has a similar you know situation, where where the
Speaker 3: people in that profession just you know, everybody, because here's
Speaker 3: the thing. Everybody wants to hear what their coach has
Speaker 3: to say, right, like even if it's boring, Like if
Speaker 3: you're a fan, you want to hear what your coach
Speaker 3: has so these guys talking is usually something people will
Speaker 3: tune in for want to hear. But yet they just
Speaker 3: lie all the time and it's just whatever. Like I'm
Speaker 3: not like, it doesn't make me angry that they lie
Speaker 3: because again, like we all know it's not true. But like,
Speaker 3: how about a world where anytime a coach says something
Speaker 3: that you flat out know is just nonsense, Like you know,
Speaker 3: they get zapped by their sid at the podium, Like
Speaker 3: how about some how about some some honest truth about
Speaker 3: things or the shot collars. I mean, if that, if that,
Speaker 3: if that makes it to where we're all living on
Speaker 3: the same planet having a you know, listening to somebody speak,
Speaker 3: then maybe maybe we should do that all right. Also,
Speaker 3: we got to talk about what's going on in Georgia.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think it is an exaggeration to
Speaker 3: say that Georgia football under Kirby Smart is turning into
Speaker 3: what Florida football was under Urban I mean, the amount
Speaker 3: of arrests, the seriousness of the crime, I mean, it's crazy. Also,
Speaker 3: there's an update on Hawk to a girl. John It's
Speaker 3: not good. It's not good.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine what it would be.
Speaker 3: We'll get to it, and then I don't really have
Speaker 3: any any clue what to expect as far as what
Speaker 3: we see from Louisville in the Bahamas, I can't wait
Speaker 3: to watch it. I'm excited about that. I know. I
Speaker 3: know I'm going to be, you know, locked in excited.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna overreact just like everybody else, good or bad.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm gonna that's that's what we do. But
Speaker 3: you know, as far as like what I expect to see,
Speaker 3: as far as personnel wrote, I mean, this is all
Speaker 3: brand new, so we're all guessing. But given the fact
Speaker 3: that I won't be here next week and they play
Speaker 3: you know, in what four days, I you know, I
Speaker 3: do want to talk about a little bit because there
Speaker 3: are a few things I do want to see that
Speaker 3: you know, won't won't probably mean a whole lot, given
Speaker 3: what this is. Right you're playing some Rando teams in
Speaker 3: the Bahamas. But I do think given the fact that
Speaker 3: you get this chance to actually you know, play games
Speaker 3: with you know, with with referees and keeping score, like
Speaker 3: you know, these aren't real games, but they are games,
Speaker 3: if that makes sense. So you know, there are some
Speaker 3: things I hope to see that you know, again, probably
Speaker 3: won't mean a whole lot, but it'll be encouraging as
Speaker 3: we look forward to the first year of the Pat
Speaker 3: Kelcierra with a brand new team. So again, we're loaded
Speaker 3: on a Friday stick with us. Why would you not?
Speaker 3: I mean, what else you gonna do? I mean, can
Speaker 3: you imagine having the ability to be with us here
Speaker 3: in coffee and company and you choose not to? I mean, yikes,
Speaker 3: don't go anywhere. Keep it locked right here on Sports
Speaker 3: Talk seven ninety. All right, so the closure on sixty
Speaker 3: five North, it was not a wreck necessarily, but says
Speaker 3: here from WK why they put this out about three
Speaker 3: o'clock that there was a woman found dead in the
Speaker 3: middle of the interstate, not in a vehicle, and yeah,
Speaker 3: they closed it down around noon. Looks like and I mean, geez,
Speaker 3: it doesn't say here as far as any there's no details.
Speaker 3: It did open up around two o'clock, is what it
Speaker 3: says here in this article. But I mean there's a
Speaker 3: I would imagine that the length of it being closed
Speaker 3: as far as how long and completely shut off for
Speaker 3: I mean, I think every lane was closed when I
Speaker 3: went through. Maybe one was open on the far far side,
Speaker 3: but you got to keep in mind, like they've got
Speaker 3: to first of all, they've got to remove a dead body,
Speaker 3: but also like investigate and see if there's any evidence
Speaker 3: to like potentially give them any indication as to what happened,
Speaker 3: how it happened.
Speaker 2: That's wild. That is wild.
Speaker 3: So yikes, I mean that that can't happen very often.
Speaker 2: I mean it's very random. That makes you wonder.
Speaker 3: How oh I'm thinking all kinds of things that could
Speaker 3: be anything so here. I mean two things first that
Speaker 3: popped in my head. First is that someone jumped from
Speaker 3: the overpass.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, maybe like.
Speaker 3: That that that that's that I would you know, I'm
Speaker 3: not saying that's what I guess what it is, but
Speaker 3: that's just something that came to mind. As far as
Speaker 3: how you would end up with the dead body right.
Speaker 2: Now, I thought was my first thought was did somebody
Speaker 2: drop off a body? Really interested?
Speaker 3: That's the other thing that came to mind for me,
Speaker 3: is that if that could have potentially been it. But like
Speaker 3: I think if it's you know, we're talking about in
Speaker 3: the middle of I sixty five, which is not far
Speaker 3: from the Snyder that's feeding more traffic to there. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 3: the outer loop exit is a pretty busy exit. I mean,
Speaker 3: I would say if it's in the middle of the interstate,
Speaker 3: then that would probably be what happened, is that somebody
Speaker 3: either jumped or was dumped. Maybe awful, awful stuff. All right,
Speaker 3: it's coffee and company. I feel about Thornton's here on
Speaker 3: Sports Talk seven ninety. Appreciate you guys hanging out with
Speaker 3: us here. On a Friday. Next week it'll be Scott
Speaker 3: Fitzgerald filling and you know how many day Scott he's
Speaker 3: gonna be in.
Speaker 2: I believe he's on Monday and Tuesday.
Speaker 3: Perfect because you know he'll he'll really get into this
Speaker 3: TBT matchup and I may join him. I may join
Speaker 3: him and you know, talk either the day after or
Speaker 3: the day before the day off if he needs me,
Speaker 3: if he wants me, I don't mind doing it because
Speaker 3: you know, I'm gonna be on vacation, but you know
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be watching and I'm gonna I'm gonna be
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be uh feenan to to react to what
Speaker 3: out with. Oh yeah, no doubt because you know I
Speaker 3: can tell you this. I My wife's not gonna want
Speaker 3: to talk about it with me. Actually, you know she
Speaker 3: this is this is what actually has also made a
Speaker 3: little more fun for me as far as the TBT
Speaker 3: things that you know, my wife, you know, she was
Speaker 3: she was familiar with with the you know, the teams.
Speaker 3: Really when she became a mom, she wasn't as you know,
Speaker 3: into it as is because she was never as into
Speaker 3: it as as much as I was. But you know,
Speaker 3: she was just a little bit disconnected. And she's a
Speaker 3: diehard fan, trust me. Uh but when the Kenny Payne
Speaker 3: era and really I guess the end of the mac era,
Speaker 3: you know, she just wasn't as familiar with with players,
Speaker 3: you know, she really she's one of those fans that
Speaker 3: you know, really like to see guys play there for
Speaker 3: four four years and in three years and and you know,
Speaker 3: be a part of some good teams, and you know,
Speaker 3: she's just not she's not locked into it like the
Speaker 3: diehard fans to where she's gonna have the ability to
Speaker 3: understand and know the roster right away. She will once
Speaker 3: they start playing and whatnot. But you know, like these
Speaker 3: guys that are playing in this event, she's familiar with
Speaker 3: all of them, and uh, you know, because they were
Speaker 3: pretty pretty they were pretty memorable players during their time here,
Speaker 3: so she's you know, trust me, That's what makes it
Speaker 3: fun is that, like we'll be on vacation, but at
Speaker 3: nine o'clock on Monday, you know she's going to want
Speaker 3: to make sure she's watching too, and my kids too,
Speaker 3: so you know we'll be enjoying it. We'll just be
Speaker 3: doing it from afar. All right, where do we want
Speaker 3: to go? Here? I guess I'll mention this now because
Speaker 3: I don't want to forget. Jeff Brohm has decided to
Speaker 3: open up the first seven preseason practices. So when when
Speaker 3: fall camp? They call it fall camp, but it's it's summer.
Speaker 3: It's not fall, but you know, it's to get ready
Speaker 3: for the football season, which we claim is in the fall,
Speaker 3: but actually a lot of it takes place in the summer. No,
Speaker 3: I mean when does that? When does summer actually end?
Speaker 3: You know, just.
Speaker 2: Usually the third weekend in September. I believe it's usually
Speaker 2: somewhere between like September twentieth and twenty third. It just
Speaker 2: kind of verir.
Speaker 3: Yeah, September twenty second is when it ends this year,
Speaker 3: so we will have have you know, I guess a
Speaker 3: fourth of the season. Maybe.
Speaker 2: You know, it's pretty crazy. The first quarter of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we call you know, we call it, you know,
Speaker 3: fall camp, but you know it's it's not fall and
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. But it's one of those little things
Speaker 3: where I'm like, Okay, we're calling at this, we have forever,
Speaker 3: we'll continue to do it, but like we're lying to ourselves,
Speaker 3: it's not fall. But either way, the first practices that
Speaker 3: this group's going to have, the first handful of them
Speaker 3: are going to be open up to the fans. So
Speaker 3: seven practices you'll be able to attend. I mean, you
Speaker 3: can attend to all of them if you want, or
Speaker 3: you could, you know, pick one that makes the most
Speaker 3: sense for you as far as your schedule. But Wednesday,
Speaker 3: July thirty first, which of course that's that's next week
Speaker 3: at two forty five and then uh August the second
Speaker 3: at six pm, August the third at twelve forty five,
Speaker 3: August the fifth at nine to forty five am, August
Speaker 3: the sixth at nine to forty five am, and then
Speaker 3: August the eighth at nine and forty five am, and
Speaker 3: then the last one will be August the ninth at
Speaker 3: nine forty five am. So they're open to the open
Speaker 3: to the fans and uh, you can go check out
Speaker 3: go cards dot com and get more information as far
Speaker 3: as all those dates if you didn't write them down,
Speaker 3: which I'm sure you didn't, but just know the first
Speaker 3: seven practices. So really the next next couple of weeks
Speaker 3: you'll have the opportunity to uh to go to a
Speaker 3: practice if you can make it work and you can
Speaker 3: pull it off, which hey, fans love that. There's not
Speaker 3: gonna be a whole lot we can learn at that point.
Speaker 3: And I did find it. I don't know, I shouldn't
Speaker 3: say I was surprised by this, but no photos or
Speaker 3: videos are allowed during any of the open practices, which
Speaker 3: that's probably pretty routine, Like that's probably normal, but I
Speaker 3: don't feel like that's usually in the press release. Maybe
Speaker 3: it is, and I just had never noticed it. But
Speaker 3: all coaches man, like they they they're so paranoid. I mean,
Speaker 3: everybody's paranoid to an extent, I feel like, and there
Speaker 3: are certain, like, you know, professions to where paranoia is
Speaker 3: is warranted, right, but man college football coaches. I mean,
Speaker 3: I remember remember Bobby, he wouldn't let the uh, he
Speaker 3: wouldn't let the new local news stations film anything, not
Speaker 3: even to get highlights right, Like they weren't trying to film,
Speaker 3: you know, any kind of scheme or anything like that.
Speaker 3: But Bobby had his media guy, Andy Wagner, tell all
Speaker 3: the local TV stations that they were not allowed to
Speaker 3: film anything during the spring game or during like any
Speaker 3: spring practice that they go to. And it led to
Speaker 3: my man Dan Kobe, Miss Dan Kop. He was he
Speaker 3: was a star here in the Louisville market, but he
Speaker 3: went back to Philly and I miss Dan. But he
Speaker 3: had a lot of fun with this. So on his
Speaker 3: newscast following Louisville spring game that Bobby was Bobby was
Speaker 3: not letting anybody film. He drew like Microsoft paint, like
Speaker 3: Louisville football players and like, you know, imitated what like
Speaker 3: the touchdown would like. There was real plays that happened
Speaker 3: in the game that he could watch, but he couldn't
Speaker 3: show any footage of it. So he drew, like on
Speaker 3: Microsoft paint what it looked like after the guy scored
Speaker 3: a touchdown, and that's that's what led his newscast and
Speaker 3: it was so it was brilliant, got a lot of attention,
Speaker 3: but you know what, it pissed a lot of people
Speaker 3: at Veil Off and you know, what do you want
Speaker 3: him to do? He can't. He you were keeping him
Speaker 3: from doing his job. I think he's out there trying
Speaker 3: to sell the playbook to somebody. I mean. And by
Speaker 3: the way, this was before Waki leaks too, so just
Speaker 3: keep that in mind. This is before all that happened.
Speaker 3: So anyways, seven practices you can go watch and that
Speaker 3: that's that's exciting. You know, since we're talking about coaches
Speaker 3: football coaches specifically, we'll get to what Matt Ruhle said
Speaker 3: about the Big Ten. We'll probably do that in the
Speaker 3: four o'clock hour. But uh, John was talking about Signetti yesterday,
Speaker 3: the Indiana coach, and he's saying all the things that
Speaker 3: get they get Hoo's your fans fired up for football
Speaker 3: if that even is a thing, like, I bet there's
Speaker 3: some emotions and feelings flowing through Hoo's your fans right
Speaker 3: now that they've never felt before. They don't know what
Speaker 3: it is. It's like puberty or something. They're getting there.
Speaker 3: They're getting fired up for football in July. Because Kurt
Speaker 3: Signetti is saying it's bs and he didn't say BNS,
Speaker 3: he said the word. Basically said that if you set
Speaker 3: the standard for six and six that's BS.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, he's again. I talked about this yesterday. He
Speaker 2: thinks the standard or should be to be the best.
Speaker 2: And he made the comparison. He said, if you have kids,
Speaker 2: you don't raise them to be the fifth best or
Speaker 2: the tenth best. He said, you want them to be
Speaker 2: the actual best, which obviously that goes without saying and
Speaker 2: just relating it to his football team, and I think
Speaker 2: he's making it. He's making it very clear that he
Speaker 2: has really high expectations for his plat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's changing the mindset and that I mean, that's
Speaker 3: that's that's the start, right. I mean, obviously you got
Speaker 3: to go, you gotta go get results, and we'll see
Speaker 3: if he can do that. But it is wild to
Speaker 3: me how he could throw a cuss word in there
Speaker 3: if he didn't say BS and he just you know,
Speaker 3: didn't say that that's anything. He just said the other
Speaker 3: part of it. It goes in one in and out
Speaker 3: the other, like you know, it's encouraging to hear, but
Speaker 3: it's not really something. But when he throws the curse
Speaker 3: word in there, I mean, it gets people's attention and
Speaker 3: it fires him up. If you're a fan, and it
Speaker 3: reminds me of you know, Chris Mack his first Louisville Live,
Speaker 3: packed packed crowd out here in front of four Street Live.
Speaker 3: He comes out in his darter Louisville jacket and he's he's,
Speaker 3: you know, talking about how great it is to be
Speaker 3: at Louisville and how look at this crowd. The fans
Speaker 3: are great, man, this is what Louisville basketball is all about.
Speaker 3: We really appreciate you guys. And then you know, and
Speaker 3: the crowd is just kind of listening, and then he says,
Speaker 3: and I also want you guys to know. Man, these
Speaker 3: guys they've been working their asses off. And he didn't
Speaker 3: even get to finish because as soon as he said asses,
Speaker 3: the crowd erupted. The coach set a cuss word, and
Speaker 3: now we're fired the hell up.
Speaker 2: And I mean I.
Speaker 3: Remember playing that clip on the show and like, no,
Speaker 3: I mean, you just drowned it out of any He
Speaker 3: just had to hand the mic back to the MC
Speaker 3: because he said the guys have been working their asses off,
Speaker 3: and that let the crowd was in a frenzy.
Speaker 2: You know what it is you talk about football robots,
Speaker 2: it's it's whenever they say things like that that humanizes Yes,
Speaker 2: that's what it is. It makes it so relateable.
Speaker 3: Oh dude, when coaches do reveal that they're human beings,
Speaker 3: we're geeked up, man like. That's why you get press
Speaker 3: conference laughter. How many times has a coach actually said
Speaker 3: something that genuinely brought laughter out of someone? Rarely ever,
Speaker 3: but you know when they do show that they have
Speaker 3: an ounce of personality, a little bit of a sense
Speaker 3: of humor. I mean, you got guys in youah, Rick Bose,
Speaker 3: it's gut busting out and laughter because somebody, you know,
Speaker 3: you know, said something relatively you know, lighthearted and humorous.
Speaker 2: He is easy to pick out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, either, I'm not picking on Rick, but like you, like,
Speaker 3: everybody knows Rick's PCL's press conference laugh like it's it's
Speaker 3: a known thing in the market. You know, I was
Speaker 3: going to try to imitate it, but you know I
Speaker 3: wouldn't do it justice. So you know, you're right, man like,
Speaker 3: when they do anything to humanize themselves, it we just
Speaker 3: get Google eyeballs like, oh my gosh, this guy, Like
Speaker 3: you know, it goes back to what I always said
Speaker 3: about Mac and Sadderfield. They were so different than what
Speaker 3: we had before, Bobby quite literally a robotic human being.
Speaker 3: Rick Petina the most unrelatable person ever to people like us.
Speaker 3: But they won at a high level, and when they did,
Speaker 3: we loved him. And then when they didn't win and
Speaker 3: things got south and we got rid of them. The
Speaker 3: two guys that came in were a little more reliable, right,
Speaker 3: pretty pretty normal guys. Honestly, I think Chris Maxwell too
Speaker 3: normal for this job. Scott Saderfield, you know, he just
Speaker 3: wasn't wired and didn't didn't understand that fans are going
Speaker 3: to get pissed if you're not good like he just
Speaker 3: couldn't relate. So, you know, initially during the honeymoon phase,
Speaker 3: especially when they were winning. It's again I always used
Speaker 3: I used the same line like with Chris Mack. They
Speaker 3: were like, oh my god, I saw him roosters, man,
Speaker 3: he get he gets the same sauce on his wings
Speaker 3: that I do. Man, he's just in there drinking a
Speaker 3: Corse light like one of us. You know. Scott Saderfield, Man,
Speaker 3: I say he's out on Nolan Lake. Me he's out.
Speaker 3: You see Scott Saderfield, man, he's he's he's just yucking
Speaker 3: it up with fans at the tailgate, it's and it's it's,
Speaker 3: it's different and it's nice. And then when they don't win,
Speaker 3: you're like, well, he better get his ass out of
Speaker 3: roosters and get on the recruiting trail. If I see,
Speaker 3: if I hear that Scott Saderfield is not the film
Speaker 3: room and he's out on his boat at Nolan Lake,
Speaker 3: they'll be hell to pay. Like it's, you know, we
Speaker 3: don't know what we want. What we want, we want
Speaker 3: to win, and I guess it's win at all costs,
Speaker 3: be a robot, be relatable, whatever, just win. All right,
Speaker 3: we got to get to a break. We'll come back
Speaker 3: on the other side. We'll let you hear what happened
Speaker 3: with Hawk to a girl because nothing like it wasn't
Speaker 3: like she got arrested. But like, I don't know if
Speaker 3: anybody really considered the range she would have as like
Speaker 3: a celebrity given what made her a celebrity, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like she really showed her personality. She
Speaker 3: just said, she just said something that got everybody horning
Speaker 3: on the internet, you know, and she's you know, she's attractive,
Speaker 3: but you know that can only take you so far.
Speaker 3: Keep a lock right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 3: Try to think of other people who go viral and
Speaker 3: then become famous for a few minutes. He usually doesn't
Speaker 3: last all, you know, a long time, but you know,
Speaker 3: like Antoine Dotson, if you know, you know, that's the
Speaker 3: guy who who I feel like it was one of
Speaker 3: the early I mean, I don't want to call him
Speaker 3: a celebrity, but like he he did a news interview
Speaker 3: and and it it went viral, Like before going viral
Speaker 3: was a thing, I feel like where he was talking
Speaker 3: about somebody climbing and his windows and snatching people up.
Speaker 3: It was it was something about it. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: he and that was that was my favorite. Uh. There
Speaker 3: was the guy who uh there was Sweet Brown who said,
Speaker 3: you know, nobody got time for that. I don't really
Speaker 3: know whatever happened to her as far as like did
Speaker 3: she turn it into anything. There was the bagel guy.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys remember the bagel guy.
Speaker 3: The guy who I mean was We actually played a
Speaker 3: lot of that, a lot of that sound on the
Speaker 3: show years ago. But he's the guy who's you know, five,
Speaker 3: he's five foot tall and he's in line at a
Speaker 3: bagel store and he's he's upset because how long he
Speaker 3: has to wait, and he just starts yelling at women
Speaker 3: and turned it into like a personal thing to where
Speaker 3: you know, he's sad that he can't get a date
Speaker 3: because he's short and has nothing to do with getting
Speaker 3: a bagel. But he's had a full meltdown. And somebody
Speaker 3: caught it and put it online and it went viral.
Speaker 3: How about the guy? Oh man, what's this guy? And
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna I'm gonna search the quote. You know,
Speaker 3: tell me what the guy's name is. I've already forgot
Speaker 3: about it. There's some more girls up in that house
Speaker 3: that was, Uh, that was what's his name? Charles Ramsey? Uh?
Speaker 3: He did a he did a and I'll play for
Speaker 3: you real quick here because this this is, this is
Speaker 3: one that was. They made a song about this one too,
Speaker 3: and it was it was awesome.
Speaker 2: Walk me through again. What happened this afternoon?
Speaker 3: I knew something was wrong. A little pretty white girl
Speaker 3: ran into a black man's arms.
Speaker 2: Dead giveaway.
Speaker 3: My neighbor got big test birls because we see this
Speaker 3: dude every day.
Speaker 2: We dud but we didn't have a clue. Get that
Speaker 2: girl in that house. She said, please to get it out.
Speaker 3: Of course, it's hard didn't give.
Speaker 1: Did give heads?
Speaker 3: Man, So this was a guy who did an interview
Speaker 3: because he was the neighbor of the guy who ended
Speaker 3: up having like four young girls locked in his basement
Speaker 3: for years, Like I mean, I feel like it had
Speaker 3: been like over a decade or something. And that was
Speaker 3: his raw, real reaction when the news showed up. And
Speaker 3: you know, he actually, you know, he ended up doing
Speaker 3: appearances and at one point there was a KSR remote
Speaker 3: and he was there on KSR. Like what a world
Speaker 3: we live in? But anyways, uh, this you know, this
Speaker 3: girl hawk to a girl which I don't really know
Speaker 3: her name, and you know, Haylee Welch, here you go.
Speaker 2: You must be a big thing. Yeah, must must be
Speaker 2: a fan, right So she I.
Speaker 3: Mean she said hawk Tua and you know, I think
Speaker 3: a lot of people I don't need to explain what
Speaker 3: she meant when she said that, and that that took
Speaker 3: off in a way that I would have never predicted.
Speaker 3: Like it wouldn't have shocked me if you told me
Speaker 3: that was going to get a lot of attention, because
Speaker 3: you know, you got basically the fellas are liking what
Speaker 3: she's putting out and she you know, she's she's adorable,
Speaker 3: but you know it, for a while there, it became
Speaker 3: like the only thing you'd see if you scroll in
Speaker 3: social media, and it became like a viral sensation, but
Speaker 3: you know, she's her doing that didn't really show that
Speaker 3: she's got a lot of personality, that she's a big character, Like, again,
Speaker 3: what's the range here? So she ended up, you know,
Speaker 3: doing her first interview. She went on with one of
Speaker 3: the Barstool Sports podcasts, and she hired an attorney and
Speaker 3: an agent, and she's doing appearances. We talked about she
Speaker 3: got was at thirty grand to show up at a
Speaker 3: Miami club and she had to wear a ta jersey. Well,
Speaker 3: she introduced Jelly Roll and another artist at Rock the
Speaker 3: South the Music festival, and they introduced her, and you know,
Speaker 3: like I would have expected when I if I saw
Speaker 3: the video on TikTok and I read the caption the
Speaker 3: hawk to a girl is at Rock the South, I
Speaker 3: would have assumed that like there was a chant, there
Speaker 3: was a cheer, like.
Speaker 2: Hell, yeah, this is great.
Speaker 3: She's you know, she's awesome, But it was painfully awkward
Speaker 3: because she's there to like get them fired up, and
Speaker 3: you would think that, you know, she'd be somebody that
Speaker 3: is not a random person from you know, just just
