Speaker 1: It's time for coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get it started hour number two. Here
Speaker 2: on a hump day Coffee and Company. We are fueled
Speaker 2: by Thornton's. I say we because it's not just me.
Speaker 2: My name's Nick Coffee. I hope you knew that. If not,
Speaker 2: now you do. We've got Austin Montgomery back after a
Speaker 2: successful day at Churchill Downs for FABO Tuesday, and now
Speaker 2: he's continuing to have success. He has one race down
Speaker 2: thus far, and we'll see if he can keep it rolling.
Speaker 2: We've got thirteen minutes to post here in race number eight,
Speaker 2: and I don't know if I'm gonna be so. I
Speaker 2: totally forgot that TVG is now owned by FanDuel. Did
Speaker 2: you know that?
Speaker 3: Yes? I didn't. I forgot all about that until so.
Speaker 2: Is so like I used to just go to the
Speaker 2: I guess I'm getting twin spires and TVG confused because
Speaker 2: at twin spires is that a different thing? I mean
Speaker 2: twin spires totally different? Okay, never, that's that's what that's
Speaker 2: the issue. Because I I'm trying to sign into TVG whenever.
Speaker 2: I probably don't even have a log in. I'm I'm
Speaker 2: confusing that for twin spires. So maybe we'll let you
Speaker 2: hear it, or maybe not, because you probably don't really
Speaker 2: if you're not betting on it, you wouldn't care. But
Speaker 2: either way, I got it too.
Speaker 3: I can pull it up. Okay, good, I got the TVG. Good. Good.
Speaker 2: So we've got race number eight coming your way before
Speaker 2: too long, and uh, we'll see what happens. Have you
Speaker 2: picked one here yet?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: I like the five horse. I haven't seen the name.
Speaker 4: It is a favorite, six to five favorite. And then
Speaker 4: for value, if I'm going to do an exact up,
Speaker 4: which I think I'm gonna do, I'm going to go
Speaker 4: the five three right, Okay, I got get a decent payout.
Speaker 4: I've got to go game warden.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: That's that's one of the favorites here, and it is
Speaker 2: trained by Norm Cassie, somebody who uh, you know. As
Speaker 2: much as I talk about how I just you know,
Speaker 2: never really got into horse racing the sport. Don't know
Speaker 2: a whole lot about it. I love Derby and everything
Speaker 2: that comes with it, but I'm just not knowledgeable and
Speaker 2: have never really even been interested enough to to study
Speaker 2: up on on on horse racing, you know, to be
Speaker 2: even a little dangerous when it comes to talking about it.
Speaker 2: So despite despite all that, I did grow up with,
Speaker 2: you know, close to a family that that is very
Speaker 2: successful in this horse racing world. Uh, Norm Cassie, his father,
Speaker 2: Mark Cassie. Uh they Mark is Mark's been. I mean
Speaker 2: he's very successful. He's had many horses in the Derby.
Speaker 2: Uh He's he's probably most I don't know, if you're
Speaker 2: not somebody that really follows it closely at all, you
Speaker 2: probably would would recognize his name because he was involved
Speaker 2: in the whole scratch that you know was controversial, but
Speaker 2: it was the right call. And he's the one who
Speaker 2: had to basically come out and say, look, I hate
Speaker 2: it because that was one of those things that like
Speaker 2: if you are in that business of horse racing, that's
Speaker 2: your world and you have a Derby winner, but there's
Speaker 2: a scratch and it's going to be you know avoided,
Speaker 2: like you know that would that would that would be
Speaker 2: a dream come true, like a you know, career changing
Speaker 2: moment for you to be a Kentucky Derby winner. Yet
Speaker 2: you know you had a scratch like that would be brutal,
Speaker 2: and I think everybody tried to handle it like, man,
Speaker 2: that's tough. But then when they fought it and acted
Speaker 2: like it didn't happen. I mean that's whenever Mark had
Speaker 2: to come out and basically say like, and I'm paraphrasing here,
Speaker 2: but he essentially said, you would have thought that the
Speaker 2: horse was drunk, like the way it was moving around.
Speaker 2: So Mark has been really successful and Norm worked with
Speaker 2: him for many years and now Norm's doing his own
Speaker 2: thing as a trainer. And my grandparents where they lived
Speaker 2: the whole time I was growing up. Their house was
Speaker 2: probably five houses down from the Cassie house. So Joel
Speaker 2: is the younger brother. He did not get into the
Speaker 2: family business of horse racing. He's actually in law enforcement,
Speaker 2: but he's just a year older than me. So we
Speaker 2: were around each other a lot growing up. And yeah,
Speaker 2: the Cassie family, I mean north bullet in the house.
Speaker 2: There's not a whole lot that uh, not a whole
Speaker 2: lot that we can throw out there from my alma
Speaker 2: mater that you know people would really think is oh wow,
Speaker 2: that's here's somebody that you know, because I don't know,
Speaker 2: maybe you don't think it's cool. But I think it's
Speaker 2: cool somebody who isn't even a big horse racing fan
Speaker 2: to know that. Uh, you know, Norm, he comes from Northbold.
Speaker 2: He was a big time baseball player and now he's, uh,
Speaker 2: he's doing this thing as a as a trainer. So
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with uh, I'm gonna go with number
Speaker 2: two here, game, Warden, And which ones did you say?
Speaker 2: You said two?
Speaker 4: Three, and the five and the three and three three
Speaker 4: to come in the second. But the but the two
Speaker 4: horse scares me. Here's what I'm doing. Good, this is
Speaker 4: something just to get me.
Speaker 3: A win.
Speaker 2: It may not be a big monetary win by any means,
Speaker 2: but I'm actually just gonna put number two across the board.
Speaker 2: That gives me a better chance of you know, oh
Speaker 2: yeah saying that that that a cash to winner. Now
Speaker 2: it's six depending upon Yeah, it's gonna say, depending upon
Speaker 2: what money I put down, I may lose money, because
Speaker 2: you can actually lose money on a win comes in.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, So we'll see, we'll see how it shakes out.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it looks like we've got h nine minutes
Speaker 2: till that one gets started.
Speaker 3: I think two.
Speaker 4: Across a board if a win should be solid might
Speaker 4: get like maybe seventeen to twenty bucks.
Speaker 2: Let's let's let's see what happens. Let's give it a
Speaker 2: show here for that's right, a horse racing show. So
Speaker 2: but right now, I would say in the wild world
Speaker 2: of sports, now that the NFL Draft has concluded, uh
Speaker 2: and the shit or Sanders stuff has kind of calmed down.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's still a big talking point obviously, and
Speaker 2: he really dominated the NFL Draft when it comes to
Speaker 2: being the story. And not to say I told you so,
Speaker 2: but even before the first round started, I just felt like,
Speaker 2: no matter what happens, man, this guy's all anybody's talking about.
Speaker 2: And sure enough, because he fell all the way to
Speaker 2: day three, he stole the shine from a lot of
Speaker 2: people who might have you know, had I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't know if I buy that like cam Ward is
Speaker 2: the most disrespected number one pick overall, because I don't.
Speaker 2: I think cam Ward got plenty of love, and I
Speaker 2: think one of the reasons why there wasn't a whole
Speaker 2: lot of buzz about him going number one is because
Speaker 2: we've known for a while he was going to be
Speaker 2: number one. So I don't buy that, you know, cam
Speaker 2: Ward is the least talked about number one quarterback taken
Speaker 2: in the draft, although clearly he didn't get the same
Speaker 2: amount of love that you would typically get because of
Speaker 2: obvious reasons. As mentioned, it was a known thing that
Speaker 2: he was going to be the number one pick. There
Speaker 2: wasn't a whole lot of build up anticipation. And also
Speaker 2: the Shad or Sanders thing has shitdro Sanders gone late
Speaker 2: first round. I mean, imagine what they would have talked
Speaker 2: about on Friday and Saturday. It still would have been
Speaker 2: out there as a storyline because it was a big
Speaker 2: talking point leading up to the draft. But you know, anyways,
Speaker 2: what I'm getting at is that you know, now that
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft has concluded, NBA playoffs, you got that
Speaker 2: going on. But I don't think it's crazy that to
Speaker 2: say that right now the buzz story that you know,
Speaker 2: talk shows are discussing, the internet's discussing. Podcasts are discussing
Speaker 2: people probably at work or discussing regardless of what they
Speaker 2: do for a living. Bill Belichick like this is this
Speaker 2: is beyond weird. I said this yesterday and there's probably
Speaker 2: no point in resetting the entire thing, but hear me out.
Speaker 2: Imagine telling someone two three years ago that Bill Belichick
Speaker 2: would be in this position coaching college football at North Carolina.
Speaker 2: That alone is just wild. But also, I mean dating
Speaker 2: a twenty four year old woman like that, Like you
Speaker 2: can't make that up, but it's real and it's happening.
Speaker 2: And when things just kind of don't seem real and
Speaker 2: you know, you think there's got to be something to it,
Speaker 2: usually there is. And I'm not here to tell you
Speaker 2: that I don't believe that they're sincerely an item, but
Speaker 2: I could easily be persuaded into to seeing that this
Speaker 2: is just a mutually beneficial relationship for both of them,
Speaker 2: and yet it's not in any way like romantic. I mean,
Speaker 2: I said this yesterday and somebody texted in kind of
Speaker 2: commenting on what I'd said about her bringing her boyfriend
Speaker 2: home to dad. I mean, yeah, it's Belichick, and yeah,
Speaker 2: you know you love your daughter and you're gonna want
Speaker 2: her to be happy and you're gonna want to support her.
Speaker 2: But I mean, you can't be happy, right, Like the
Speaker 2: guy she's dating is old enough to be your dad.
Speaker 2: It's one thing if she's dating to do your age.
Speaker 2: She's dating somebody that can be her grandfather, so you
Speaker 2: knowless regardless of the fame here that Belichick brings in
Speaker 2: the money and all that, and maybe it could be
Speaker 2: a beneficial thing for everybody in her family. I mean,
Speaker 2: he can't actually stop it from happening, and I don't
Speaker 2: know anything about her family, but like it's just another
Speaker 2: one of those things that we kind of just like, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: all right, that's wild, and it is, but like also
Speaker 2: it's probably not what they It's probably not what they're
Speaker 2: presenting it as. Like, clearly the story of them meeting
Speaker 2: on a plane is not true, and she told us
Speaker 2: that without telling us that by how quickly she yelled out,
Speaker 2: we're not going to talk about that whenever the CBS
Speaker 2: Sports or not CVS source, but the CBS Sunday Morning
Speaker 2: Interview when they asked, how did you guys meet whenever,
Speaker 2: he clearly knows that they met, like he knew the
Speaker 2: story that was out there. My guess is that that guy,
Speaker 2: pretty good at his job, knew that that wasn't true
Speaker 2: and was going to see if they would bite and
Speaker 2: they wouldn't. And that's what made it kind of a
Speaker 2: story as far as like Okay, well maybe they didn't
Speaker 2: meet on a plane like they said. And Belichick couldn't
Speaker 2: answer any questions because I mean, like it almost seemed
Speaker 2: as if there's really not a whole lot of substance
Speaker 2: to their relationship. It's just that, you know, it's all
Speaker 2: for him looking like he might relate more so to
Speaker 2: the younger crowd, and with her, I don't, I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess she becomes I guess she becomes notable, like famous,
Speaker 2: and you know, with fame, you can, you can, you
Speaker 2: can monetize that, you can, you know, you can clearly
Speaker 2: benefit from it, and some people just like it, regardless
Speaker 2: if it's for good or bad. But like, she is
Speaker 2: a she's a young, attractive woman who I assume she
Speaker 2: has a successful path in her world. Whatever she's going
Speaker 2: to do is a in her career, but she's always
Speaker 2: going to be known as the dude who or the
Speaker 2: girl who got with the guy old enough to be
Speaker 2: your grandpa. And nobody like believed that they're really an item.
Speaker 2: And there's something really weird going on, and everybody's going
Speaker 2: to die trying to figure out really this is. They're
Speaker 2: still claiming that it's all legit, but this thing has
Speaker 2: had new layers to it each and every day, And
Speaker 2: I swear the one that came out this morning, I
Speaker 2: feel like it's probably it's super believable and and it
Speaker 2: doesn't make her look good in any way as far
Speaker 2: as how you know, if you're somebody who's got the
Speaker 2: the vibe that she's way too involved in the football stuff.
Speaker 2: She's around the program like most girlfriends of the head coach,
Speaker 2: you know, especially one that's not the wife that is,
Speaker 2: you know, about as old as the players on the team,
Speaker 2: Like that's not a normal thing in any way for
Speaker 2: them to just be an item. But having her around
Speaker 2: the program, it's just weird. So you know, she's clearly
Speaker 2: injecting herself and wanting to be a part of Belichick
Speaker 2: going to college, and he's clearly letting her. But we
Speaker 2: now know that the Hard Knock show that was gonna
Speaker 2: happen then didn't. And I remember thinking whenever they announced
Speaker 2: they were going to pull the plug on the idea
Speaker 2: and not feature you and see, I thought, well, okay,
Speaker 2: this makes total sense because Bill Belichick. The story itself
Speaker 2: is wild, But how much range do you think Belichick
Speaker 2: has to be entertaining or interesting on a show like that,
Speaker 2: like maybe the circus behind the scenes as far as
Speaker 2: like seeing him, I guess adjusting to coaching college kids
Speaker 2: and not NFL players. But like, that's not what Hard
Speaker 2: Knocks is. So I just assumed that they had the realization, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the overall story is wild, but we don't have a
Speaker 2: whole lot of range as far as what we can
Speaker 2: do to make that an interesting television show. That's just
Speaker 2: what I assumed.
Speaker 3: I was wrong.
Speaker 2: Run off of sports TMZ Sports now now reporting that
Speaker 2: the reason that that show was gonna happen and then
Speaker 2: it wasn't and then it didn't is because she got
Speaker 2: in the way. She pulled the plug on it, because
Speaker 2: they were they had they apparently had no interest in
Speaker 2: featuring her in a way as far, you know, as
Speaker 2: part of the Carolina thing, or maybe at least not
Speaker 2: the way that she wanted, because look, we all know
Speaker 2: what documentary realityality type TV is. If you gave us
Speaker 2: like a behind the scenes look of them like she wanted,
Speaker 2: I feel like, if you're, you know, the producers of
Speaker 2: Hard Knocks, she would think this is we couldn't we
Speaker 2: couldn't make this up. So again here I am thinking
Speaker 2: like that it'd be boring. Well, if you're going to
Speaker 2: feature this weird relationship that like people still can't believe
Speaker 2: is true. But we're going to see behind the scenes
Speaker 2: stuff every week with HBO camera's role in similar to
Speaker 2: the type of stuff we see in Hard Knocks, Like
Speaker 2: I think it would be phenomenal, but apparently they didn't
Speaker 2: want to do that, or maybe they wanted to do it,
Speaker 2: but she wanted to have full control, because she certainly
Speaker 2: seems like a control freak. But yeah, it Carolina having
Speaker 2: to release a statement on the situation officially is I mean,
Speaker 2: that's kind of confirmation that this has been a bad
Speaker 2: look for you. It's been a distraction. It's kind of
Speaker 2: seen as a joke. And look, if it ends up
Speaker 2: working out and there's a lot of success, there's a
Speaker 2: lot of wins, then that will become the story. But also,
Speaker 2: you know, I can't imagine that as of right now.
Speaker 2: You feel like you've got a really good return on
Speaker 2: your investment. Now again, you invested in Bill Belichick to
Speaker 2: win your games that he hadn't been able to coach
Speaker 2: one yet, But so far this just looks like it
Speaker 2: looks like a circus. But here is a quote from Belichick,
Speaker 2: so I guess he released the statement. I thought it
Speaker 2: was from the school. I guess it did come from
Speaker 2: the school, but it's just him talking. I agreed to
Speaker 2: speak with CBS Sunday morning to promote my new book,
Speaker 2: The Art of Winning, Lessons from My Life in Football.
Speaker 2: Prior of this interview, I clearly communicated with my publicist
Speaker 2: at Simon and Schuster that any promotional interviews I participated
Speaker 2: in would agree to focus solely on the contents of
Speaker 2: the book. Unfortunately, that expectation was not honored during the interview.
Speaker 2: I was surprised when unrelated topics were introduced, and I
Speaker 2: repeatedly expressed to the reporter Tony Docapil, I know I'm
Speaker 2: saying that wrong, and I'm embarrassed because he's very well
Speaker 2: respected in what he does and butchering his name. But anyways,
Speaker 2: the producers that I prefer. He goes on to say
Speaker 2: that he expressed to everybody involved that he preferred to
Speaker 2: keep the conversations centered on the book. After this occurred
Speaker 2: several times, Jordan, with whom I share both a personal
Speaker 2: and professional relationship, stepped in to reiterate that that point
Speaker 2: to help refocus the discussion. She was not deflecting any
Speaker 2: specific question or topic but simply doing her job to
Speaker 2: ensure the interview stayed on track. Some of the clips
Speaker 2: make it appear as though we were avoiding the question
Speaker 2: of how we met, But we have, but we have
Speaker 2: been open about the fact that Jordan and I met
Speaker 2: on a flight to Palm Beach in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: And then he goes on to say the final eight
Speaker 2: minute segment does not reflect the productive thirty five minute
Speaker 2: conversation we had, which covered a wide range of topics
Speaker 2: related to my career. Instead, it presents selectively edited clips
Speaker 2: and stills from just a few minutes of the interview
Speaker 2: to suggest false narrative that Jordan was attempting to control
Speaker 2: the conversation, which is simply not true. Fair enough, Bill, however,
Speaker 2: I mean, I know you're not really like human, seemingly
Speaker 2: like you're a robot, but you're seventy three. You're Bill Belichick,
Speaker 2: not just a successful coach that's seventy three, Like you
Speaker 2: are an odd bird and you're dating a twenty four
Speaker 2: year old smoke show and you're doing interviews with her present.
Speaker 2: What do you think people who work for you know,
Speaker 2: networks like CBS are going to do. They're going to
Speaker 2: take advantage of that that's what this is. And if
Speaker 2: it is everything you claim, why would she be there? Oh,
Speaker 2: because you have a professional relationship with her. I mean,
Speaker 2: I just I don't know how you can act as
Speaker 2: if you're the victim here whenever you're the one who
Speaker 2: ended up making it public. And let's be real, they
Speaker 2: could have kept this private. They're not hiding that they're
Speaker 2: an item. I don't believe in any way that it
Speaker 2: was uncovered by somebody who you know, leaked it. I
Speaker 2: think Bill Belichick wanted it to be out there that
Speaker 2: he's dating a twenty four year old girl for reasons
Speaker 2: I think I understand, but I really don't know if
Speaker 2: it's worth it from my perspective. But again, what do
Speaker 2: I know? Like when they asked him questions about him
Speaker 2: doing Instagram and social media stuff and laying on his
Speaker 2: back with his legs in the air as she lays
Speaker 2: on him doing some weird yoga stuff like he he
Speaker 2: made it quite clear without saying it that he actually
Speaker 2: doesn't post any of that. He doesn't have anything to
Speaker 2: do with that. It's all part of this ruse of like,
Speaker 2: oh wow, Bill Belichick, Like you know, the Grench grows
Speaker 2: a heart, yeah, from Whovill around Christmas time.
Speaker 3: Two sizes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like Bill Belichick is growing, like, you know, somewhat
Speaker 2: of a dare I say, personality. I mean the bar
Speaker 2: was low, right, like when he when he made the awkward,
Speaker 2: painful laughs at Tom Brady's roast and you know, smiled
Speaker 2: and looked like he was in pain. Like that made
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick look like you know, Jim Carrey in his
Speaker 2: prime and stand up like because the bar is so low, right,
Speaker 2: Like you're not expecting him to do anything, but it'd
Speaker 2: be like laughs, You're like, oh wow, Bill, look at
Speaker 2: you letting your hair down. I mean, that's that's just
Speaker 2: kind of what it seems like. So you know, maybe
Speaker 2: they did edit it to really tell that type of
Speaker 2: story to get this kind of reaction, but like you
Speaker 2: can't be that dumb, right, the story itself is real,
Speaker 2: and you know, the herd once with the herr once,
Speaker 2: like there's nothing you can do about it. But it's
Speaker 2: very much a public thing. She's around everywhere. She doesn't
Speaker 2: need to be involved in your football program. You're coaching.
Speaker 2: Doing that is wanting her to, you know, wanting it
Speaker 2: to be out there to look at Bill he's out here,
Speaker 2: you know, knocking down girls fresh out of college, young
Speaker 2: enough to be his granddaughter. Not an exaggeration, like I mean, So,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I I feel like this is going
Speaker 2: to have a bad ending, but I really don't know
Speaker 2: what that would be. And she doesn't seem like somebody
Speaker 2: that's just gonna go away, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So here here is Charles Barkley earlier today on Dan Patrick.
Speaker 2: This is a couple of minutes long. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: if I'm gonna play it in its entirety, but I
Speaker 2: do want to let you hear at least some snippet
Speaker 2: of it, because you know, Charles is clearly an entertainer.
Speaker 2: He's very funny. But I don't think he was joking
Speaker 2: when he mentions that he's concerned about Bill Belichick here,
Speaker 2: which you know, maybe I'm maybe I'm overreacting, but I
Speaker 2: kind of feel like this is this is pretty telling
Speaker 2: as far as people that actually know him thinking, this
Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense. What is Bill Belichick doing?
Speaker 5: Well, this is a very slippery subject for me because
Speaker 5: Bill is one of my really good friends. I don't
Speaker 5: I'm not sure what's going on, you know, He's been
Speaker 5: a great friend for me for a long time. I'm
Speaker 5: we've been fans since he coached for the Browns. I
Speaker 5: think he got to be very careful right now. This
Speaker 5: is starting to be on a very slippery slope. He's
Speaker 5: the greatest football coach ever for him and Nick Saban
Speaker 5: for college, Nick Saban for Bill the NFL. Yeah, I
Speaker 5: from what I'm hearing, it's starting to be a very
Speaker 5: slippery slope. And I never talk about people's personal relationship.
Speaker 5: That's that's another rule I got. But I will admit
Speaker 5: I'm a little concerned with some of the stuff that's
Speaker 5: going on, and I might actually reach out to him
Speaker 5: and make sure everything's good. But I am concerned from
Speaker 5: what I'm hearing.
Speaker 2: So as the questions asked, Dan Patrick's doing the smirk like,
Speaker 2: you know, wow, this is kind of wild. And I'm
Speaker 2: not even sure if he realized how close those two were,
Speaker 2: meaning Barkley and Belichick. I'll admit I had no clue
Speaker 2: they even knew each other. It doesn't surprise me, given that,
Speaker 2: you know, both are pretty prominent in their own world.
Speaker 2: But I mean Barkley's was There's not a look. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, you all didn't see the visual, but you
Speaker 2: heard it. I mean, he's not that he didn't. He didn't,
Speaker 2: he didn't you know, make jokes about it. I think
Speaker 2: he's genuinely worried about like what this is, because again,
Speaker 2: it just doesn't make sense. And when something doesn't make sense,
Speaker 2: there's usually you know, an underlying story that is bad
Speaker 2: or you know, it's just it's for a specific like
Speaker 2: I just what could Bill Belichick ultimately gain by this relationship?
Speaker 2: And look, if you if you're thinking, Nick, what is
Speaker 2: wrong with you? He's in his seventies. He's got a
Speaker 2: chance to you know, to sleep with a twenty four
Speaker 2: year old woman that's attractive and successful, something that like
Speaker 2: every man in his older age would dream to do.
Speaker 2: So Bill's just doing that. Like if that's the case,
Speaker 2: it would be private, like it would be like he
Speaker 2: might already be doing that. Who knows, maybe he was
Speaker 2: knocking him down different broads every night because he's Bill
Speaker 2: Belichick and he's got the money. But like, you know,
Speaker 2: the way she's been able to become a figure in
Speaker 2: this entire thing, and clearly, like she can claim that
Speaker 2: she wasn't trying to control the interview like it was portrayed.
Speaker 2: But regardless if it was just a brief moment in
Speaker 2: said interview, we heard it, we saw it, And why
Speaker 2: was she even there? Why was she why was she
Speaker 2: present during the interview because of your personal relationship, because
Speaker 2: of your professional relationship. I feel like a lot of
Speaker 2: people not to play matchmaker. Here go doctor Phil on you.
Speaker 2: But like, I don't know if people would say that
Speaker 2: it's great to have a professional relationship by also having
Speaker 2: a personal relationship, right, like love my wife. We work
Speaker 2: well together, you know, trying to raise a family. But
Speaker 2: you know, if we truly were co workers, like that
Speaker 2: could become weird. And I don't know if they're co workers,
Speaker 2: but if she's like, you know, chief of staff or
Speaker 2: whatever at Carolina and basically his publicist or whatever, I mean,
Speaker 2: like that makes me even more so think that the
Speaker 2: romance situation here is not genuine. But again, they say
Speaker 2: it out loud two years ago. Somebody tells you, this
Speaker 2: is Bill Belichick, this is the situation he's in. Not
Speaker 2: a soul on planet Earth would believe there's any chance
Speaker 2: that was possible. But here we are, all right, I
Speaker 2: haven't even looked had it finish.
Speaker 4: First was honor Marie. It was a it was a
Speaker 4: it was a one horse. Okay, I should have known that.
Speaker 4: Second was time out, the eight horse, third was game warden,
Speaker 4: and uh so yours came in third, right mind, mine's
Speaker 4: still running.
Speaker 2: This is technically considered a win for me.
Speaker 3: As across the board.
Speaker 2: Right yeah, so hey, here's momentum. Let's let's hope the
Speaker 2: momentum builds here.
Speaker 3: Let's hope.
Speaker 2: All right, quick break, we'll come back. Keep this thing
Speaker 2: rolling along. It's coffee and Company fuel abut Thornton's on
Speaker 2: Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 1: Now back to coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 2: All right, so let's run through this uh Barnstable Brown
Speaker 2: guest list and see if there's any celebrities that either
Speaker 2: of us don't recognize. Sound good, let's do it. Machine
Speaker 2: Gun Kelly, we know him?
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: So really some ombiles, I mean we know of them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean I'm sure they know who we are too.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, you're listening right now? MGK,
Speaker 2: someone bile else.
Speaker 4: Feels like the Derby in Kentucky is like so not MGK,
Speaker 4: but he is from Ohio.
Speaker 2: So yeah, and do you like him? But we ask
Speaker 2: you this, do you like his music?
Speaker 3: I used to like it when I was in high
Speaker 3: school when he was like uh.
Speaker 2: Oh, when he came out, when he when he became
Speaker 2: like a known name as a rapper from Cleveland, he
Speaker 2: was I thought he was awesome. Like I really enjoyed
Speaker 2: his his you know, lace up kind of movement.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and you know it started.
Speaker 2: Into but I still think he's really talented too, if
Speaker 2: that makes sense. Like he he actually got on a
Speaker 2: song with STG from from from Louisville here and it
Speaker 2: was a couple of years ago, maybe last summer actually,
Speaker 2: and it was just him just rapping like you know,
Speaker 2: you heard him ten years ago when he became famous,
Speaker 2: and it was a reminder that like, when it comes
Speaker 2: to that, I think he's talented now obviously you know
Speaker 2: he does other stuff too, and and and really he's
Speaker 2: just he's become a rock star. And I don't mean
Speaker 2: just because he has dabbled in rock music, but like
Speaker 2: his image is, you know, I'm with you. I think
Speaker 2: there's some bozo vibes, right, but also like I think
Speaker 2: he is who he is. I don't think we're seeing
Speaker 2: like a you know, somebody that's trying to be you know,
Speaker 2: an image. I think like he's you know what he
Speaker 2: sees what you get Megan fox Hell Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Derk Bentley, we know him.
Speaker 3: Yes, met him a few months ago.
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers has become a mainstay. Like he's he's always
Speaker 2: at the derby and uh, you know he'll be asked
Speaker 2: about a situation and he'll be smug and you know
Speaker 2: he'll be Aaron Rodgers. But uh, he's certainly a recognizable name.
Speaker 2: Tracy Morgan, I feel like he's also been a regular
Speaker 2: really funny.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Selma Blair, I know that name. I can't think of
Speaker 2: the face. Yes, you know so so you know the
Speaker 2: name though, right, Yes, Selma Blair got to be an actress.
Speaker 2: She is an actress. Oh and I definitely recognize her.
Speaker 2: But she is a good exam. She is somebody that
Speaker 2: is clearly a recognizable face because she's been in things,
Speaker 2: but never really is like the star like she's in
Speaker 2: She's been in Legally Blonde, she was in Cruel Intentions.
Speaker 2: These are all movies of course that came out. You know,
Speaker 2: I love them a lot long ago whenever I was younger.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I know the name, I know the face,
Speaker 2: but I you know, it took me needing to see
Speaker 2: a picture of her to know who she was. I
Speaker 2: feel like she's in a lot of movies that like
Speaker 2: are well known, maybe you know, somewhat like popular, but
Speaker 2: never is the actual star at least that I can
Speaker 2: think of. So yeah, she's uh, she's the first that
Speaker 2: you know, we knew that there may be something that
Speaker 2: we don't even know the name, but we knew the name,
Speaker 2: didn't didn't couldn't pick her out? What about this one?
Speaker 3: This one?
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know. I don't know who Wilmer Valderama is,
Speaker 2: do you? Oh?
Speaker 3: Sure you do?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's that's that's Fez from that seventy show. Okay,
Speaker 4: did you ever watch that show?
Speaker 2: Totally know who that is? Would have never known the name,
Speaker 2: and I don't think i've ever heard it.
Speaker 4: Remember that show that came Remember that show that came
Speaker 4: out at Yo Mama where you got the like disc
Speaker 4: people on Instagram it is like your Mama joke battle off.
Speaker 3: No, you don't remember that. When was this?
Speaker 4: This is like heurly mid two thousands. I think I
Speaker 4: think it was called Yo and he was the Uh,
Speaker 4: he was like the host of it. Like they would
Speaker 4: they would let competitors like go to each other's houses
Speaker 4: and find something to clown them on, and there would
Speaker 4: be like this big ultimate battle at the end, and
Speaker 4: Wilmer Valvederamo was there.
Speaker 2: It was it was I'm looking at it here at
Speaker 2: the Wikipedia, and I do see the show you're talking about.
Speaker 3: And you're right.
Speaker 2: It was called Yoma. It was on it was on
Speaker 2: MTV for.
Speaker 3: Like what a year? Maybe?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did, they did. They did two seasons. Okay,
Speaker 2: it was from two thousand and six to two thousand
Speaker 2: and seven.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know Wilmer Valdoram.
Speaker 2: So look if you'd just said is it Fez, Yeah,
Speaker 2: then I totally would have known, just because that was
Speaker 2: That's like, that's a very well known sitcom that uh.
Speaker 2: I mean, I've never been a big sitcom guy, but
Speaker 2: I feel like that was a really popular one. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: it's huge. It had a big following. Brothers Osborne. I'm
Speaker 2: actually a big fan. Sure, Little Big Towns, Karen Fairchild
Speaker 2: and Jimmy Westbrook. I mean, I I know who Little
Speaker 2: Big Town is. I didn't know their names individually. What
Speaker 2: about Blair Underwood? I feel like I know the name
Speaker 2: because it just sounds he it's weird. Well it's a hymn.
Speaker 2: I thought, Okay, I know the name. It's a it's
Speaker 2: a it's a woman. But no, Blair Underwood is a dude.
Speaker 2: And uh, he's been in a lot of stuff. But
Speaker 2: I don't even wreck. I don't really recognize.
Speaker 4: Tyler Perry like, yeah, yeah, very dramatic stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's not there's not any movie here that I'm
Speaker 2: looking at that that I that I know. Okay, he was,
Speaker 2: I mean, uh he was. This is where he got
Speaker 2: to start. Makes total sense. This guy was destined for
Speaker 2: success because he was a cast member of season one
Speaker 2: and season two of The Cosby Show in nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I mean that's that's talk about getting.
Speaker 3: Your big break.
Speaker 2: Lee Brice, Lovely Bryce, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Boys here a couple month weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Last week in Lexington, boys to men, we know them?
Speaker 2: And then Mickey Guiden know the name, can't think of
Speaker 2: you it is?
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I feel like I've heard and seen
Speaker 3: that name.
Speaker 2: You think a guy or girl all has to be
Speaker 2: a chick, right, It is a chick all right? And
Speaker 2: she oh no, she's a country music star. Her artist
Speaker 2: I don't know about star. I kind of feel like
Speaker 2: Mickey Geitten came up last year in the same spot
Speaker 2: where I did this and realized, I don't know who
Speaker 2: that is, but hey, she's she's successful enough to be invited,
Speaker 2: and she's got she's got an impressive music career. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she's a she's a forty one year old country music
Speaker 2: singer songwriter. It looks as if she's made her biggest
Speaker 2: impact in the country music world as a writer.
Speaker 4: So oh, okay, well that will makes sense. Those yeah,
Speaker 4: those people never seem to get their their credit.
Speaker 2: And then maybe the biggest guest of the event that
Speaker 2: I'm actually kind of now thinking, I've got to find
Speaker 2: a way to get to the parties because Scott's staff's
Speaker 2: going to be there.
Speaker 3: Oh are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 3: That should be a good one. I mean, the resurgence
Speaker 3: of that guy.
Speaker 2: Can't step, won't stop, you know what I'm saying. I mean,
Speaker 2: come on, Travis Tritt.
Speaker 3: We know him. Yeah, he's a mainstay.
Speaker 2: Here's a quarter called someone who cares dmc Darryl dmc mcdai.
Speaker 2: That's a known name. Yeah, uh, DeVante Adams, we know
Speaker 2: him Washed, Brantley Gilbert Washed.
Speaker 3: Is he just as well?
Speaker 2: He came in to do some type of some type
Speaker 2: of thing for the for the veterans. We had like
Speaker 2: a veterans breakfast at the old studios that AMZ put on.
Speaker 2: This was years ago, long before you worked here. I
Speaker 2: was probably my first couple of years, and he came
Speaker 2: in and I think at that time he had a
Speaker 2: lot of notoriety, like it was a big deal, Like
Speaker 2: we got him to come in and talk, but he
Speaker 2: didn't perform. I guess we didn't, you know, iheard didn't
Speaker 2: pay enough for that. But he was doing something a
Speaker 2: project to kind of help veterans and whatnot. But I
Speaker 2: kind of feel like at that point he was a
Speaker 2: really really big name and I could just not be
Speaker 2: following it. But has he had like is he still
Speaker 2: like he's still is he still relevant? Like is he
Speaker 2: still making music that people like listen to?
Speaker 4: I don't know about this year last year, but he
Speaker 4: was on tour with nickelback like two years.
Speaker 2: Okay, that would make sense him man, him.
Speaker 3: And Chad Kroger are like best friends.
Speaker 2: Dougie Fresh. That's a little bit before our time, but
Speaker 2: I certainly know who that is. And uh you mentioned
Speaker 2: earlier Larry and Danny Lynn burkehead.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Danny Lynn. That's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joey Fatone, we know him now. Jordan Smith. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna guess that you know who Jordan Smith is.
Speaker 3: Jordan Smith, No, not at the top of my head.
Speaker 2: A Kentucky native from far eastern Kentucky who recently competed
Speaker 2: and I believe one American idol.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, he did.
Speaker 2: Win American Idol. I'm sorry, he won the voice. Yes,
Speaker 2: that's right, Yeah, he won the Voice and uh yeah,
Speaker 2: he's uh. I think he's been coming to these parties
Speaker 2: since he became, you know, famous from winning the Voice.
Speaker 2: All right, how about Billy Gilman. Billy Gilman, I know
Speaker 2: exactly who Billy Gilman is, and you have to play
Speaker 2: Billy Gilman's one voice when we come back, and that's
Speaker 2: the name of the song. He's a he's not a
Speaker 2: kid now, but he was a young kid who had
Speaker 2: a song that they never stopped playing on Country Raid
Speaker 2: whenever I was young, like late nineties, early two thousands,
Speaker 2: I believe it was late nineties, and it sounds like
Speaker 2: a little kid singing and he's got like this beautiful
Speaker 2: church voice, but like wasn't a whole lot of range.
Speaker 2: He was a one hit wonder. And he, to me,
Speaker 2: is the most random celebrity that has continued to come
Speaker 2: to this because he could maybe still be like really
Speaker 2: irrelevant and I just don't know it. But I would
Speaker 2: have forgot he ever existed had it not been for
Speaker 2: me seeing him on this list at least the last
Speaker 2: few years.
Speaker 3: Interesting.
Speaker 2: So Nappy Roots we know them. Yeah, mainstays ray Lynn.
Speaker 2: That's a country artist, right, I'm guessing just one word
Speaker 2: ray Lynn.
Speaker 3: It's just one word Rayln. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I looked her up and she's worth looking at. And yeah,
Speaker 2: so she's a country music singer, songwriter and she was
Speaker 2: also on the Voice and she's since then been successful.
Speaker 2: A big fan, A big fan of ray Lynn. One word, yes, Yes,
Speaker 2: Randall Cobb, we know him. Jimmy Graham, we know him.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is where it just gets into all
Speaker 2: the packers coming. Randall Cobb, Jimmy Graham, A Jhawk, Matt Flynn,
Speaker 2: David Baktari, and then I don't are these all I
Speaker 2: mean they just they just they round out the list.
Speaker 2: Making it look linkedier by just putting nothing but packers
Speaker 2: former packers, because I mean Brian Bloga, Brian Bloga, he's
Speaker 2: a packer, or at least was. I don't know if
Speaker 2: he still plays or not. Yeah, I think the last.
Speaker 4: Like Brian Blagan. No, he was like their center, right, yeah, tired,
Speaker 4: Corey Lynz Lensley, Yeah, I think he's I.
Speaker 2: Know, Alan Lazard is a packer, so like, yeah, you
Speaker 2: got a bunch. I mean, look, the last seven, the
Speaker 2: last eight names are just guys who played at some
Speaker 2: point with Aaron Rodgers, with the Packers. So like as
Speaker 2: much as do like their packer reunion is the barn
Speaker 2: Stable Brown Gala for the Kentucky dert.
Speaker 3: They're right in that they're riding that coattail.
Speaker 2: So Travis Kelsey's coming to Derby, but like, what do
Speaker 2: you think? Where is he? I mean, he's he's gonna
Speaker 2: be at one of these parties, but he's not at
Speaker 2: this one.
Speaker 4: Sure interested, I hope have to look it up Sports
Speaker 4: Illustrated party here.
Speaker 2: Okay, oh is it jocktails? It might be jails. Joey
Speaker 2: Wagner might Yeah that's probably jo Yes, you I mean
Speaker 2: people now that they know Travis Kelsey is gonna be
Speaker 2: in Louisville, like people are gonna mistake you for him
Speaker 2: all week.
Speaker 3: I hope not.
Speaker 2: I get that all the time. Anyway, You're just trying
Speaker 2: to enjoy yourself and live your life. I mean, go
Speaker 2: on like it's it's we haven't.
Speaker 4: We have an agreement to where whenever he starts to
Speaker 4: like he's fine with dealing with the fame now, but
Speaker 4: whenever he's like done, he's gonna hire me as his doppelganger.
Speaker 4: So I leave out the front door, draw the crowd,
Speaker 4: and then he just exit stage left.
Speaker 2: Makes total sense, all right, quick, brak fuck hour on
Speaker 2: the other side, And something I never thought i'd say,
Speaker 2: having a platform in radio, you're gonna hear Billy Gillman's
Speaker 2: one voice on the other side, let's.
Speaker 1: Go now back to coffee and company. Fueled by Thornton's
Speaker 1: on Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 2: I don't remember him sounding as much like a girl.
Speaker 2: But that first thing I thought this song, I mean
Speaker 2: I think it was. I mean, it was a one
Speaker 2: hit wonder. I think it was like maybe I'm stretching
Speaker 2: it to say that it was like the number one
Speaker 2: song in country music, but it was, however long it
Speaker 2: was around. It was seemingly all they played on the radio.
Speaker 2: And uh, I feel like I can't remember this at all.
Speaker 2: You had to be really young this had. This song
Speaker 2: came out in Let's see, this song came out in
Speaker 2: two thousand, so it was recorded in ninety nine and
Speaker 2: released in May of two thousand, and you know, it
Speaker 2: was it was a big deal. So yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: see here on Wikipedia that he's done a whole lot
Speaker 2: of music since then, but you know, this one was
Speaker 2: a big was a big hit. It looks as if
Speaker 2: it it was a top twenty single. I'm trying to
Speaker 2: see like where it was on like charts, but it's not.
Speaker 2: It's not showing me. That's like a very religious song,
Speaker 2: oh it is. And it's really sad, like the words
Speaker 2: are really sad like, that's what I mean. It just
Speaker 2: talks about sad things that like, you know, are really
Speaker 2: happening in life and whatnot. And it's just a you know,
Speaker 2: at that point, it was rare to hear and really
Speaker 2: see a and you think the guy was twelve at
Speaker 2: the time, or maybe even younger than they. I was
Speaker 2: twelve when the song was released and it was not
Speaker 2: just like a song that was marketed to kids. It
Speaker 2: was like it was a huge Yeah, he performed it
Speaker 2: at the Grammys, so yeah, that's how big it was.
Speaker 2: And then he kind of, you know, fell off. So
Speaker 2: but hey, he's Billy Gilman still getting the invite to
Speaker 2: the big Derby party, and exactly I'm not you know,
Speaker 2: not many can say they're getting invited to that. So,
Speaker 2: you know, shout out, shout out to Billy Gilman. All Right,
Speaker 2: here's what we're gonna do in the five o'clock hour.
Speaker 2: We've got one hour left and we're going to make
Speaker 2: the most of it. I do want to talk a
Speaker 2: little bit about the drama last night in the NBA,
Speaker 2: just because something that did appear to be you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, it was drama. People certainly pay attention to that.
Speaker 2: The more people pay attention to the NBA playoffs, the
Speaker 2: better it is for the NBA. But a very unusual
Speaker 2: and certainly a story that I would highly be I'd
Speaker 2: be surprised if if Adam Silver won. This thing to happen,
Speaker 2: meaning a star player's parent getting in the face and
Speaker 2: mocking you know, a multi time MVP, and then those
Speaker 2: two getting you know, close enough to where they had
Speaker 2: to be separated. That's not a good story, but I
Speaker 2: think it made me like both of these guys better
Speaker 2: than I, you know, better than I. You know. I've
Speaker 2: always liked the honest and I want to love Halliburton
Speaker 2: because he's I mean, he's he's the star player for
Speaker 2: the team I love, and I think he's a good player.
Speaker 2: I just I kind of find, like, put it this way,
Speaker 2: I have no choice but to like him and cheer
Speaker 2: for him because it's my team. And I don't think
Speaker 2: he's like the worst, but I get why other people
Speaker 2: think he's kind of cringe, if that makes sense. And
Speaker 2: you know, last night probably doesn't change that, But I
Speaker 2: don't think when you consider what played out that he
Speaker 2: had no control of, Like he can't control what his
Speaker 2: dad's going to do. And I do believe him that
Speaker 2: he didn't even know that it had happened until he
Speaker 2: got back in the locker room and heard about it. Well,
Speaker 2: I think he heard about it out there and then
Speaker 2: saw it in the locker room, and I thought he
Speaker 2: handled it as bout as good as possibly could in
Speaker 2: that situation. So we'll get into that and a lot more,
Speaker 2: and I'm Sorry for this really short segment, but I'm
Speaker 2: trying to keep this thing on track as best we
Speaker 2: can here before we run out of time, So five
Speaker 2: o'clock hours next, Keep a lock right here on Sports
Speaker 2: Talk seven ninety
