Speaker 1: It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven ninety Holy.
Speaker 2: Crap, I don't know who the hell we think when
Speaker 2: we are.
Speaker 3: Getting off our show. Idiots.
Speaker 4: The kids are crying or tail off.
Speaker 3: The coaches are screwing it up.
Speaker 1: Gold Play inter Murals, Brother, gold Play inn Murals.
Speaker 4: They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not.
Speaker 3: Who's the kid here?
Speaker 1: Who's the kid here?
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? Now? Here's Nick coffee?
Speaker 4: Sorry about that?
Speaker 5: Better late than never, And I'm not really late, but
Speaker 5: usually the music doesn't play this long before we get
Speaker 5: the things started. But I was so distracted by daytime
Speaker 5: college basketball postseason hoops going on right now that I
Speaker 5: didn't even realize. As the show starts and we hear
Speaker 5: the music and it's time to it's time to do
Speaker 5: the damn thing, as they say, I didn't have my headphone.
Speaker 5: So anyways, it is beautiful and we have basketball going on, and.
Speaker 4: That's that's about as good as it gets.
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's officially spring yet. I don't
Speaker 5: think it is, but it certainly feels like it. And
Speaker 5: I don't know whenever we get to this part of
Speaker 5: the year, and I feel like even if we do
Speaker 5: get some colder days next week or whatever, maybe you
Speaker 5: never really know what you're gonna get around here. But
Speaker 5: right around now conference tournament season is when is when
Speaker 5: it's like, all right, we're close, meaning like the warm weather,
Speaker 5: the nice weather's going to be here, and usually like
Speaker 5: on we like I just with college basketball being such
Speaker 5: a big part of our culture around here, I mean
Speaker 5: I can like I can think of certain years decade ago,
Speaker 5: eight years ago of like where I was at whenever
Speaker 5: I was just consuming all the different conference tournaments because
Speaker 5: you know, March madness is great, right the field of
Speaker 5: sixty eight, that's what really really moves the needle and
Speaker 5: gets a lot of tension nationally. But conference tournaments are
Speaker 5: pretty awesome too, And we've had some already conclude, some
Speaker 5: getting started here today, including the ACC and there's already
Speaker 5: one game going on right now. So again, best time
Speaker 5: of the year, and it is so much more enjoyable,
Speaker 5: so much more enjoyable to be.
Speaker 4: A part of it with the team.
Speaker 5: You know that you know, we don't play I mean,
Speaker 5: I don't know about you guys, don't I did not
Speaker 5: and don't currently play for the team. I'm not on
Speaker 5: the team, but you know, clearly when it comes to
Speaker 5: college hoops, I've got an emotional investment in Louisville and
Speaker 5: we've just been dead the last couple of years when
Speaker 5: it comes to this stuff. And I don't know about
Speaker 5: you guys, but I was able to still enjoy college
Speaker 5: basketball and everything that comes with it even though Louisville
Speaker 5: was I mean, in fact, it was probably if I'm
Speaker 5: going to try to find a silver lining, you know,
Speaker 5: I didn't. It was just on life support, right, like
Speaker 5: just on a ventilator, like were or maybe we were
Speaker 5: actually dead.
Speaker 4: I think we were dead.
Speaker 5: But my point is I never got high or low,
Speaker 5: like I just observed, and my rooting interest was on
Speaker 5: what I bet on. I mean, I didn't really even
Speaker 5: mean it became like an appointment to watch louwell because
Speaker 5: it just feels weird not doing it no matter what.
Speaker 5: But also, you know, I had a postgame show, so
Speaker 5: I kind of needed to at least know what was
Speaker 5: going on.
Speaker 4: In fact, I didn't.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure I could have not watched eighty percent
Speaker 5: of the games last season and it would have been
Speaker 5: the same show.
Speaker 4: If I'm being real with you.
Speaker 5: So I learned that about myself, by the way, because
Speaker 5: I didn't know if you'd have told me seven eight
Speaker 5: years ago, will you be able to love college basketball
Speaker 5: and still, you know, have an appreciation for the sport
Speaker 5: if it's just you as a casual, well not really
Speaker 5: a casual, but a you know, somebody without any skin
Speaker 5: in the game. Right, I'm just you know, I don't
Speaker 5: really have any rooting interest. I'm just loving it and
Speaker 5: betting and enjoying it. But I don't really you know,
Speaker 5: there's not a team that I care about. And I did,
Speaker 5: I still liked it. But man, it's so much better
Speaker 5: whenever you know you're in this position where you're safely
Speaker 5: in the term it and you don't even have to
Speaker 5: start the tournament, meaning the conference tournament.
Speaker 4: You can you can wait a.
Speaker 5: Couple of days because Louisville, of course, they've got the
Speaker 5: double buy and it's a good place to be, all right.
Speaker 4: It's coffee and company. Feel about.
Speaker 5: Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety taking you up
Speaker 5: until six o'clock. Nick Coffee, that is me. We've got
Speaker 5: Austin Montgomery, the travel chief in the house today.
Speaker 4: It's me and we will.
Speaker 5: We will take you up till six, as I mentioned,
Speaker 5: and we'll let you guys be part of the show today.
Speaker 5: Thank you to all of you who are texting in
Speaker 5: on the text line Ellenn Federal Credit Union text line.
Speaker 5: I still I'm having to reference the number now. I'm
Speaker 5: in my own head because I feel like if I
Speaker 5: would have just you know, not thought about it, and
Speaker 5: just I guess I would have to think about it,
Speaker 5: you know, to then to then share the text line.
Speaker 5: But the numbers four five O two four three eight
Speaker 5: ninety seventy three again five oh two four three eight
Speaker 5: ninety seventy three, if I wouldn't have brought it up yesterday,
Speaker 5: I probably wouldn't have had probably wouldn't have this like
Speaker 5: little mental block of like, all right, I think you
Speaker 5: know it, and then I start to stumble, and the
Speaker 5: last thing I want to do is give it out incorrectly,
Speaker 5: because then you know that really that really hurt us
Speaker 5: in our attempt to try to get people familiar with
Speaker 5: the new number when we've had to change after having
Speaker 5: the same number for about seven years. But again, the
Speaker 5: numbers five O two four to three, eight ninety to
Speaker 5: seventy three, and I don't know why I said that,
Speaker 5: like it's the score of a game. Five O two
Speaker 5: four three eight nine zero seven three.
Speaker 2: It did sound like a score of a game.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 5: I think it's because I'm looking at this Pittsburgh Notre
Speaker 5: Dame game and I don't know why.
Speaker 2: So your brain's already like divided.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I'm just I'm a sad son of a
Speaker 5: bitch because I don't know why I still bet on
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh and Jeff Cable, Like, why why do I do it?
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, what the hell happened to them?
Speaker 2: They were a top twenty five team.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they fell apart in a way that
Speaker 5: that is just I mean, it doesn't get as much
Speaker 5: attention because what it really turns out people just assume, well,
Speaker 5: they were never any good. It's just they you know,
Speaker 5: they beat up on bad teams early and found their
Speaker 5: way to the top twenty five, right, But like they
Speaker 5: actually were playing pretty good basketball, I thought. But they
Speaker 5: fell apart in a way that again, if the ACC
Speaker 5: wasn't the conference that it is as far as just
Speaker 5: you know, falling apart and only likely going to get
Speaker 5: three teams in, then maybe it would be a bigger story.
Speaker 5: But yes, they fell apart, and I've always felt like
Speaker 5: their teams should be better. But like when am I
Speaker 5: gonna learn right, I gotta look in the mirror after
Speaker 5: I bet on Jeff Caple and Pittsburgh because when they lose,
Speaker 5: how can I be surprised? They should just be a
Speaker 5: stay away. But anyhow, like speaking of the ACC, let's
Speaker 5: just get right into it.
Speaker 4: So we have.
Speaker 5: Now two different ACC Coach of the Year awards that
Speaker 5: Pat Kelsey has won. So yesterday this was announced right
Speaker 5: around the five o'clock hour, the ACC released the winners
Speaker 5: and this is this was voted on by the league
Speaker 5: as far as the coaches and media, so and and
Speaker 5: I'm gonna make sure that's the case, but there could
Speaker 5: there's a there's another award that was just announced today
Speaker 5: that he that he won and this is the AP
Speaker 5: so whoever votes for the league, which again I think
Speaker 5: that's some media and the coaches that was that was
Speaker 5: what that's the group that decided Pat Kelsey was ACC
Speaker 5: Coach of the Year yesterday and then today the Associated
Speaker 5: Press ACC Coach of the Year award went to Pat Kelsey.
Speaker 5: As you likely can assume, that's voted on by those
Speaker 5: who you know have a vote with the AP the
Speaker 5: Associated Press. Chucky also was named to the first team
Speaker 5: Cooper flag Raynod from Stanford, Marcus Burden Notre Dame, and
Speaker 5: Chase Hunter of Clemson. So I don't know if that's
Speaker 5: a different first team than what we got yesterday, but
Speaker 5: given what happened shortly after we learned that Pat Kelsey
Speaker 5: was acc Coach of the Year, voted on by the
Speaker 5: league's media and by the league's coaches, we learned that
Speaker 5: Duke was having a really tough time with it. And
Speaker 5: I'm not really, like, I don't find this to be
Speaker 5: like amusing and funny. I'm just really and I can't
Speaker 5: say that I'm bothered by it, because like it doesn't
Speaker 5: it's not like I'm angry, But the way Duke has
Speaker 5: decided to play victim and act as if John Shier
Speaker 5: got screwed, it's just unusual. I can't I mean, I
Speaker 5: can't really think of any similar situation where you know,
Speaker 5: clearly there's like a pr effort here where they're putting
Speaker 5: together graphics and you know they're having their team work
Speaker 5: on stuff to basically be a little cry baby bitch
Speaker 5: about John Shire not winning ACC Coach of the Year.
Speaker 5: It's one thing to be bothered by it, but like
Speaker 5: whoever made it a good look to be a little
Speaker 5: to be a jealous little bitch. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 5: I mean, part of my language. But like I just
Speaker 5: I don't understand. I mean, clearly, if you're a competitive
Speaker 5: person you don't won an award, you're probably gonna, you know,
Speaker 5: wish that you had. But so many people, even if
Speaker 5: you are bothered by it, just understand, Yeah, what good
Speaker 5: do I have or what potential you know, what's the
Speaker 5: potential chances of this being a good thing for me
Speaker 5: to where it's a beneficial thing for me to publicly
Speaker 5: be a baby about it and whin and cry like
Speaker 5: it just it's it's odd, very odd. So anyways, we'll
Speaker 5: get into that in just a moment. But again both
Speaker 5: now have decided Pat Kelsey's ACC Coach of the Year.
Speaker 5: And again I still believe that that the competition for
Speaker 5: Pat Kelsey when it comes to Coach of the Year
Speaker 5: is gonna be Bruce Pearl or Rick Patino. That's who
Speaker 5: I believe. I guess you could give it to Kelvin Samson.
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess you could.
Speaker 4: And I don't.
Speaker 5: Look there's different Coach of the Year awards. I think
Speaker 5: there's an AP one. And you would think that if
Speaker 5: the AP voted Pat Kelsey ACC Coach of the Year,
Speaker 5: the AP is not going to vote John Shire because
Speaker 5: you know he would have won the ACC given it
Speaker 5: that he's in the same conference.
Speaker 4: So Pat Kelsey may win it.
Speaker 5: And you know, any accolade is awesome for this program
Speaker 5: because we haven't had those in a while and now
Speaker 5: we're just getting showered with them.
Speaker 4: It's great.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's I mean, I want these guys to
Speaker 5: win every award possible, to get every honor possible, just
Speaker 5: because that's how much I love this group and I
Speaker 5: feel like they're deserving of all of it. I mean,
Speaker 5: I don't think Chucky's gonna get National Player of the
Speaker 5: Year or anything like that. I mean, I was a
Speaker 5: little bit, you know, well, I did at least throw
Speaker 5: it out there when I was campaigning for both Rain
Speaker 5: Smith and Javon Hatley to be also on the All
Speaker 5: ACC teams. I mean, I don't think I was making
Speaker 5: I wasn't making up numbers, but I just I knew
Speaker 5: it was gonna be really tough for them to get it.
Speaker 5: But you know, anytime there's a Coach of the Year
Speaker 5: award or really an All American type honor like Chucky
Speaker 5: and Pat are are gonna be probably on it. And
Speaker 5: that's you know, that's the way it should be. So
Speaker 5: real quick, before we get into the Duke social media
Speaker 5: account yesterday, which I'm sure you've seen this ben out right, Austin. Yes, Okay,
Speaker 5: so we'll get into that in just a second, but
Speaker 5: real quick, just just to kind of we've talked how
Speaker 5: much Chucky Hepburn has become a fan favorite. He's an
Speaker 5: all timer. Everybody cried when he kissed the floor on Saturday.
Speaker 5: So it's not like people are unaware that, like this
Speaker 5: guy in the one and only year we're gonna get him,
Speaker 5: He's been amazing. Couldn't have been better, what a story,
Speaker 5: best year of his career. I mean, it's you know,
Speaker 5: so I don't know why I feel the need to like, hey, everybody,
Speaker 5: wake up, are you paying attention?
Speaker 4: We got a really special player. Don't take it for granted.
Speaker 4: That's I just I don't know.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's just because I'm wanting to savor every single
Speaker 5: moment we have with Chucky and every chance we get
Speaker 5: to watch him play, which really isn't that many chances
Speaker 5: moving forward because we only had one season. So you
Speaker 5: know this, this really isn't that big of a surprise
Speaker 5: when you think about it, but when you when you
Speaker 5: look at the Yeah, so right now this is the
Speaker 5: group that Chucky hit Chucky Hepburn has joined because yesterday
Speaker 5: he was named the field of sixty eight first team
Speaker 5: All American and he'll probably be you know, first or
Speaker 5: second team All American, you know, by at least one other.
Speaker 5: I mean, there's a lot of different All American honors
Speaker 5: out there, and even if he doesn't, I never I've
Speaker 5: never thought of honor as the one of you know,
Speaker 5: one of those words we could we could get lost
Speaker 5: in Austin and be and be you know, childish about
Speaker 5: But yesterday when I started talking about honor, All American, Honor,
Speaker 5: Coach of the Year, honor, that point I just I
Speaker 5: think you, I think you infiltrated my brain.
Speaker 4: And now now I'm I can't.
Speaker 5: Get out of the gutter but gutter see it every time,
Speaker 5: but to do it every time, I don't want to
Speaker 5: do it.
Speaker 2: But it's a it's a family friendly show.
Speaker 5: It's addicting, right, what, Yeah, just I can't stop. I've got,
Speaker 5: I got, I got. It's like I've got turets or something.
Speaker 2: But anyways, well that's the fault of these these these
Speaker 2: words having an er at the end of them. Yes,
Speaker 2: not ours.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's in it. And it's our brains too.
Speaker 5: I don't know what. I don't know who we blame for.
Speaker 5: But do we blame for that? I guess our parents.
Speaker 5: I don't know, but the world I would I wouldn't
Speaker 5: want it any other way, but anyway, blame the internet.
Speaker 5: Chucky Hepburn is now among these players when it comes
Speaker 5: to being Louisville basketball players that have been named to
Speaker 5: a five man All American First Team. So Russ Smid
Speaker 5: did it. Russ is clearly one of the best that's
Speaker 5: ever played here in twenty fourteen. Terrence Williams did it
Speaker 5: in two thousand and nine, Clifford Rozier did it in
Speaker 5: ninety four, Purvis did it in eighty nine, griff did
Speaker 5: it in seventy nine and eighty. So now Chucky Hepburn
Speaker 5: is in that group. So just think about that. I mean,
Speaker 5: this is this. I mean again, I don't I didn't
Speaker 5: need this first Team All American Award for Chucky to
Speaker 5: know like how good we've got it. But just seeing
Speaker 5: things like that, I guess really does kind of put
Speaker 5: it in perspective to where we won't forget because when
Speaker 5: we go back and look at all the guys who've
Speaker 5: had that on or there aren't there aren't that many.
Speaker 5: So what a fun ride, And let's buggle up because
Speaker 5: starting next week it's it's it's winner go home, and
Speaker 5: you know, there's there's some real excitement there, right. The
Speaker 5: adrenaline's gonna be pumping. I'm gonna be nervous. I don't
Speaker 5: care what we get as far as a draw, who
Speaker 5: the seed is. I mean, look, Louisville, it's not gonna
Speaker 5: get enough set to where we're going to walk in
Speaker 5: and take on, you know, cupcakes, because I mean that's
Speaker 5: just not realistic, which, by the way, I'm trying not
Speaker 5: to be that guy. But I mean I think the
Speaker 5: conference tournaments and get you know, given how loaded some
Speaker 5: of these leagues are, and I don't necessarily mean I mean,
Speaker 5: look all the other leagues outside all the power, well,
Speaker 5: the Big East is not, but the Big Twelve to
Speaker 5: an extent, certainly the Big Ten and absolutely the SEC.
Speaker 5: What these conference tournaments do is they give teams opportunities
Speaker 5: to not only you know, do enough to get in,
Speaker 5: but also substantially boost their resume. Because if you're playing
Speaker 5: in a good league like the SEC or the Big Ten,
Speaker 5: you could make it to the Semis and add two
Speaker 5: really good quality wins that are gonna bump your resume.
Speaker 5: So there's a higher ceiling for these teams in the SEC,
Speaker 5: the Big Ten, in the Big Twelve, whereas in the
Speaker 5: ACC you have very little room to grow your resume.
Speaker 4: You can only hurt it.
Speaker 5: Another good thing for Louisville is there's only one game.
Speaker 5: I mean, if they lose on Thursday, that would be
Speaker 5: a tough loss, but like that really wouldn't change a
Speaker 5: ton for them. But if they win to Thursday lose Friday,
Speaker 5: like I mean, they're probably staying kind of like where
Speaker 5: they are now. But anyway, all I'm getting at is
Speaker 5: that Louisville, no matter who they play, it's not going
Speaker 5: to be an opponent. You can just assume you can
Speaker 5: have an off nine and still win because you're looking
Speaker 5: at I mean seven and ten, I mean, that could
Speaker 5: be a competitive game and what I fear is that
Speaker 5: if you don't go and win two games in the
Speaker 5: ACC Tournament, then you're gonna kind of just be slotted
Speaker 5: into this certain area and there could be other teams
Speaker 5: that do enough to get ahead of you. So I
Speaker 5: saw two different bracketology updates today, and who knows, maybe
Speaker 5: they're wrong, but they've got Louisville as an eight seed,
Speaker 5: and I can't really you know, I can't really dispute that,
Speaker 5: like Louisville is gonna be very similar with a lot
Speaker 5: of teams that again are flirting with that seven eight nine,
Speaker 5: maybe six seven, six seven eight.
Speaker 4: Really six seven eight is what I should have said,
Speaker 4: six seven eight.
Speaker 5: So it's really just gonna come down to the committee, right,
Speaker 5: They're gonna look at all these different numbers, all these
Speaker 5: different analytics, Quad one, quad two, all that stuff, drink
Speaker 5: the schedule, and they're just gonna be able to determine
Speaker 5: I guess what they who they feel is best deserving
Speaker 5: because all those numbers, I mean, you're, you know, collectively,
Speaker 5: each team's profile sheet is essentially gonna be the same
Speaker 5: to where you just got to, you know, you got
Speaker 5: to you got to make a judgment call more so
Speaker 5: than looking at analytics or records. I mean, Lowill is
Speaker 5: going to have a better record than a lot of
Speaker 5: teams that are on the six and seven line. But
Speaker 5: Louisville doesn't have a lot of quality wins, So you know,
Speaker 5: those other teams could have double or triple the amount
Speaker 5: of wins against teams that are in the field, and
Speaker 5: louisll can't control that. I mean, they went twenty five
Speaker 5: and six, right, I mean, they could have controlled it
Speaker 5: as far as beating some of those teams early on,
Speaker 5: but you know, there were some really good teams, and
Speaker 5: of course things were different at that time. So you know,
Speaker 5: I really just think this could be a selection Sunday
Speaker 5: where more than for the first time in a long time,
Speaker 5: it's not going to be as much about number.
Speaker 4: It's just going to be Okay.
Speaker 5: Does the committee do they choose to look at Louisville
Speaker 5: and say, look, they don't have really any bad losses
Speaker 5: outside of one that really isn't that bad, and they
Speaker 5: won twenty five games in their league, and they didn't
Speaker 5: slip up when they easily could have. And you know,
Speaker 5: I mean in their in their Ken Palm, and their
Speaker 5: net ranking is in the top twenty three, so we're
Speaker 5: gonna reward them. We definitely think there are a six
Speaker 5: or are they going to say Louisville. Louisville had a
Speaker 5: great season, but here are two teams with worth with
Speaker 5: maybe substantially worse records, and they've got double or triple
Speaker 5: the amount of wins against teams that you know made
Speaker 5: the field. So like it's more often than not, I
Speaker 5: would assume it's a good mixture of a lot of
Speaker 5: things when it comes to how they see these teams, right,
Speaker 5: I test conversation amongst the amongst the amongst the committee,
Speaker 5: looking at numbers, that kind of stuff. But I just
Speaker 5: think it's just going to depend on how you want
Speaker 5: to view Louisville. And as much as people kill me
Speaker 5: the well, who can you know? It can't you can't
Speaker 5: just base it off of the number.
Speaker 4: The number.
Speaker 5: Well, when people say that, it's like they're telling me
Speaker 5: that I'm putting too much into the formula. And you know,
Speaker 5: I'm not telling you it's the end all be all.
Speaker 5: But Louisville specific should hope that they very much more
Speaker 5: so emphasize the formula than anything else, because again, this
Speaker 5: is not a this is not an insult. It's not
Speaker 5: a complaint, it's just an observation and it's just the truth.
Speaker 5: The best thing on Louisville's resume when you look at
Speaker 5: their team sheet, right like strength to schedule, quad one,
Speaker 5: quad two, overall record, you know, ken palm, all that stuff,
Speaker 5: the best thing that you know, the one if you
Speaker 5: can only pick the one thing that's the most valuable
Speaker 5: that looks the best on there, it's going to be
Speaker 5: where you ended up in the net. And if they
Speaker 5: didn't use that quite as much, and they didn't, you know,
Speaker 5: put Louisville as a you know, if they if they
Speaker 5: ended up just more so basing it off of not
Speaker 5: where you rank in their formula, but the amount of
Speaker 5: good wins you have with value that kind of stuff,
Speaker 5: then they could easily I could see them going from
Speaker 5: a six to an eight. So really, you know, I'm
Speaker 5: sure it's.
Speaker 4: Not that unusual.
Speaker 5: But I just think there's different ways you can view
Speaker 5: Louisville's resume, and I don't think anybody can view it
Speaker 5: as a bad resume. But you know, do they get
Speaker 5: the benefit of the doubt being twenty five and six
Speaker 5: in a power league even though it's down and there's
Speaker 5: not any terrible losses, and they did beat up on
Speaker 5: a lot of the bad teams they played this year,
Speaker 5: which is all you can do when they're on the schedule.
Speaker 5: So as much as I obsess over it, and I'm
Speaker 5: sure I'm not alone, I think it really is. It's
Speaker 5: it's anybody's guest between anywhere between like a five and
Speaker 5: an eight. And look, a lot can change from now
Speaker 5: until Sunday, because again, we've got conference tournaments going on.
Speaker 5: But as I mentioned a moment ago, these other leagues
Speaker 5: have a lot of potential shakeup that could take place,
Speaker 5: meeting teams that are on the bubble, getting all the
Speaker 5: way of the championship game of their league and maybe
Speaker 5: getting in or a bit or a bit stealer. I mean,
Speaker 5: that could happen too, But there's not a whole like
Speaker 5: there's nobody in the ACC tournament outside of maybe Carolina
Speaker 5: that could potentially get in without winning the league. You
Speaker 5: know what that tells you more than anything like that.
Speaker 5: That may sound like a weird random fact I just
Speaker 5: threw at you, but think about that. There's not enough
Speaker 5: there's not enough value in the league for teams to
Speaker 5: get enough wins like You've got three teams flirting with
Speaker 5: the bubble right now, Carolina SMU and is there one
Speaker 5: more Wake Forest I think is still a bubble team.
Speaker 5: Like those are teams that they can't even look at
Speaker 5: the they got it. They can't go to the conference
Speaker 5: tournament and improve their resume enough to get in. They
Speaker 5: gotta win the whole thing because everybody stinks and there's
Speaker 5: no value it. It pains me that we're in this position.
Speaker 5: But anyways, all right, let's get to a quick break again.
Speaker 5: If you guys want to join us on the show today,
Speaker 5: your best bets to hit us up on the Ellen
Speaker 5: and Federal Credit Union Texa line five oh two four

Speaker 5: a call five oh two, five to seven one seventy
Speaker 5: nine hundred. Nick Coffee, Austin, Montgomery. We're We're with you
Speaker 5: until six, So hang out. Let's have some fun today.
Speaker 1: Now back to Coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 5: That's right, it's Coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's here
Speaker 5: on Sports Talk seven ninety Nick Coffee, Austin Montgomery, the
Speaker 5: travel Chief, that's what we call him. And let's go
Speaker 5: to the text line Fabo two four three eight ninety
Speaker 5: seventy three. I knew it, but the hesitation there was
Speaker 5: because I almost said that the old number, which is
Speaker 5: just it's going to be the challenging part because there
Speaker 5: is a seven ninety still in it.
Speaker 2: Yep, it's it's gonna be challenging.
Speaker 4: Bybot fabout two four three eight ninety seventy three.
Speaker 2: Baby, have you been doing it like not looking at it,
Speaker 2: like getting in your reps that way, or have you
Speaker 2: been still trying to look.
Speaker 5: At What I've actually been doing is just like I
Speaker 5: walk up to like random strangers and be like, hey
Speaker 5: you need a number? Yeah, two four three, eight ninety
Speaker 5: seventy three, hit us up. Not a bad exercise, you know,
Speaker 5: anything to grow the show, right, Yeah, So two people
Speaker 5: have mentioned this in the text line the last two days,
Speaker 5: and I'm I should have told you this off the air.
Speaker 5: The podcast volume has been crazy low. Are my levels
Speaker 5: low on the recording? Like lower than like like when
Speaker 5: you see it because you see it coming in, right, yes,
Speaker 5: does it look low.
Speaker 2: I guess we could call call that low.
Speaker 4: But boost it up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can boost it up.
Speaker 5: Boost it up now or either boost it up like
Speaker 5: when you get done recording it, because either way it's doing.
Speaker 2: I mean I could, I could, I could do that too.
Speaker 5: So here's whatever whatever you think makes the most sense
Speaker 5: as far as just making a little bit louder.
Speaker 4: And I don't think it's it's not too low. But
Speaker 4: here's the issue.
Speaker 5: And this makes sense. But somebody who said, who wrote
Speaker 5: about it yesterday, said that the volume is fine, but
Speaker 5: when the commercials play, which you're auto generated, oh yeah,
Speaker 5: just they're way yeah, they're way louder. So if you're
Speaker 5: listening like with headphones on. And unfortunately this is this
Speaker 5: is not our fault by any means. And I know
Speaker 5: I'm not somebody that if I did want to raise
Speaker 5: hell about it, anything would happen. But people that have
Speaker 5: a lot more power, a lot more or swinging something
Speaker 5: a lot bigger than I am when it comes to, uh,
Speaker 5: you know, the weight that they have within the company.
Speaker 5: They've complained about the podcast issues and it's not getting fixed.
Speaker 5: So I don't know how they fix it. But yes,
Speaker 5: you will randomly get an AD in the middle of
Speaker 5: the content, which is annoying. I'm sure, yes, but also
Speaker 5: you know, it picks.
Speaker 4: Right back up.
Speaker 5: But that's where like if it was just during the
Speaker 5: breaks whenever I'm sending it to break on the on
Speaker 5: the podcast and you you know, you hear me exit
Speaker 5: for a commercial, then you would at least have the
Speaker 5: awareness of, like, prepare for it. Yeah, let me turn
Speaker 5: it down. But if you if you don't, and then
Speaker 5: it's just boom. Yeah, So yeah, I'll look into that.
Speaker 5: Try try to turning yourself up right now, let me
Speaker 5: see what comes through so that. But I don't want
Speaker 5: to I don't want to come into hot on. I
Speaker 5: guess that's okay, right, yeah, I just I just never
Speaker 5: want to sound like I'm eating the microphone because you know,
Speaker 5: but I feel like if I you know, if it's
Speaker 5: in the red, that's not like danger zone. I guess
Speaker 5: you just don't want to go past that, right, Yes,
Speaker 5: it's not peaking. No, okay, we're good, good to go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like what what I'm seeing on my board that's
Speaker 2: going on over air right now? It's not and my
Speaker 2: voice is barely getting to red, but yours will yours
Speaker 2: will kind of touch than me.
Speaker 4: Brother.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, that's what I'm saying. So well, we'll
Speaker 2: kind of touch the red here and there. But I
Speaker 2: was always trained that that's not the worst thing either, So.
Speaker 5: That makes sense because it's probably it probably sounds more full,
Speaker 5: which you know, it's honestly, it's probably even if the level,
Speaker 5: like even if we turned it up.
Speaker 4: In post, as they say post production.
Speaker 5: He liked that even if we turned it up in post,
Speaker 5: if you know, if I'm still flat, because I could
Speaker 5: even tell just by now listening to myself and my
Speaker 5: headphones that like, because I've turned it up a little bit,
Speaker 5: it just sounds a little bit more, a little more full.
Speaker 5: That makes sense, a little more. I got a little
Speaker 5: more girth to me, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: It's right, It's right, baby.
Speaker 2: But I look at it like when I come in here,
Speaker 2: obviously the person comes in here before me, The great
Speaker 2: legendary Shannon the dude, He's death, we joked out his hearing.
Speaker 2: He has everything all the way up.
Speaker 4: Oh at all times.
Speaker 5: I think he just walks around to other studios and
Speaker 5: just make sure it makes sure every level is up
Speaker 5: as high as going to be it's it's him and
Speaker 5: him and Vnetti. But I think Vannetti he's now doing
Speaker 5: earbuds like I do. I think at least he was. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he still does it, and I think it's because you know,
Speaker 5: you can have them lower in it, and you you know,
Speaker 5: it's it's more so directly in your ear other than
Speaker 5: than the big cans, right, big cans. I've always liked
Speaker 5: the big cans on my head. Yeah, big fan of
Speaker 5: the big cans myself, and being honest with you, all right,
Speaker 5: so uh, let's talk about Duke being little babies, because
Speaker 5: I mean the reason I say this is unusual is
Speaker 5: because if fans, you know, they were upset about it,
Speaker 5: even like media folks who don't necessarily have like an
Speaker 5: allegiance to do like anybody else doing it, you could
Speaker 5: still say, oh, come on, like quit being a cry baby,
Speaker 5: or you know, you really don't understand what this award
Speaker 5: is because you know, Pat Kelsey literally like because it
Speaker 5: really just comes down to this. And I'm gonna read
Speaker 5: from the text line here because Captain Kirk mentioned this
Speaker 5: earlier on the text line and he's right. Apparently Jim
Speaker 5: Bayham's doing the game right now Pittsburgh and Notre Dame,
Speaker 5: and he texted in Kirk did and said, hey, Nick,
Speaker 5: just heard Jim Bayhams say that Pat Kelsey deserved Coach
Speaker 5: of the Year hands down because he took a team
Speaker 5: at rock bottom with no players returning to a number
Speaker 5: two seed in the Aency tournament. That's a testament in itself.
Speaker 5: So that when I read that, when I'm thinking, you
Speaker 5: know what, first of all, thanks Kirk for letting us
Speaker 5: know that.
Speaker 4: Also shout out Kirk.
Speaker 5: Jim Beheim like is right, and you know, the whole
Speaker 5: balancing of Okay, did he do a good job coaching
Speaker 5: but it was an overachiever thing or was it a
Speaker 5: little bit of both, or was it a coach that
Speaker 5: really just you know, had a great year, had a
Speaker 5: great team, and really there wasn't anybody that did stand
Speaker 5: out as having good results that not a lot of
Speaker 5: others would have been able to get with their coaching.
Speaker 5: Like there's you know, it's it's a tricky award in
Speaker 5: that way. And really, the more I think about it,
Speaker 5: a lot of awards are like Lamar Jackson not winning
Speaker 5: the MVP this year. I get it, I think he
Speaker 5: should have, but like I know that it's gonna be
Speaker 5: tough for him to keep giving it to him, even
Speaker 5: though he had a better year this year, Like he said,
Speaker 5: the bar so high, he's gonna have to keep eclipsing it.
Speaker 5: Like the fact that Michael Jordan and Lebron James don't
Speaker 5: have more MVPs themselves tells you what the award is.
Speaker 5: There's been what nearly every year, both those guys have
Speaker 5: played in the NBA their entire life. They were the
Speaker 5: most valuable players in the league. And it wasn't close.
Speaker 5: But again, they don't win it every year because that's
Speaker 5: just not that's just not how that that award's given out.
Speaker 5: The Heisman will never be given to somebody two times
Speaker 5: anymore anymore.
Speaker 4: I don't know has that ever happened. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe it has, like way back in like the like
Speaker 4: Archie Griffin or something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like back in like the you know, the the
Speaker 5: initial days.
Speaker 4: Of the award, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: So boys were here, Arthur and they all.
Speaker 5: Smoked cigarettes on the sideline, yeah, and drank beard halftime.
Speaker 5: So look, you know, I don't want to make it
Speaker 5: a bigger thing than like it.
Speaker 4: Needs to be.
Speaker 5: But what made the whole Duke clearly not being Again,
Speaker 5: I'm trying to figure out what to start here because
Speaker 5: Duke's official team accounts. So those who have social media,
Speaker 5: and even if you don't and you're not active on it,
Speaker 5: you know that every every program has an official Facebook, Instagram,
Speaker 5: Twitter for their where they share like, you know, updates
Speaker 5: on their team like and it's a huge it's actually
Speaker 5: a huge new space within you know, sports media now
Speaker 5: like there's now departments that didn't exist when I got
Speaker 5: into media that you know, there's a full team of
Speaker 5: guys who are there, you know, churning out content and
Speaker 5: ideas as far as how they can, you know, just
Speaker 5: use social media to continue to connect and grow with
Speaker 5: their fans.
Speaker 4: So those like the official the official.
Speaker 5: Accounts, like you assume it's run by like the SID
Speaker 5: and you know, they now have a layer of like
Speaker 5: personality to them where you know they'll they'll they'll have
Speaker 5: like a clever line when they post a highlight or
Speaker 5: and this is just be kind of become this has
Speaker 5: kind of become the stand thing to do when you lose,
Speaker 5: just post final and then the score yeah, like it's
Speaker 5: just it's almost like that's no and I mean that's
Speaker 5: that's routine like that. Yeah, that's like what you're supposed
Speaker 5: to do, Like that's that's the one way to like
Speaker 5: all right, I'm sure we're still gonna get crushed by
Speaker 5: the toxic world that is Twitter. But you know, all
Speaker 5: we did was say, you know, game over like that,
Speaker 5: that kind of thing, just exactly exactly. Couldn't have said
Speaker 5: it better. So those accounts, like they represent the program overall,
Speaker 5: meaning a lot of places. I know it used to
Speaker 5: be this way around here, and I'm sure it is
Speaker 5: now to an extent. You know who represents Louisville basketball
Speaker 5: from top to bottom, Pack Kelsey. It's his program. He's
Speaker 5: the face of it. He's the leader. So it wouldn't
Speaker 5: even shock me if he wants to have not full
Speaker 5: say so, but have some awareness of like what's coming
Speaker 5: across on your social media pages. Because even though people
Speaker 5: know it's not Pack creating the graphics or putting certain
Speaker 5: things out there, it's an extension of him. So usually
Speaker 5: those things are really vanilla, really safe. There's never like
Speaker 5: a opinion shared. It's just really a pr marketing kind
Speaker 5: of thing, and you can really grow if you occasionally,
Speaker 5: you know, have a decent funny line in there or
Speaker 5: something like that. So to see the Duke Twitter account
Speaker 5: again that represents their program. Have a full wet diaper
Speaker 5: that needs to be changed over Pat Kelsey winning Coach
Speaker 5: of the Year. It's just odd behavior, like I don't
Speaker 5: think we've ever seen anything like it. It's not a
Speaker 5: criminal offense. It's I mean, clearly you know, because this
Speaker 5: is what this is what this is, what is, this
Speaker 5: is what has been weird to me. And I'll read
Speaker 5: for you this is what was tweeted out yesterday after
Speaker 5: it was clear that Pat Kelsey won it. And by
Speaker 5: the way, for you those just now joining us, Pat
Speaker 5: has won his second ACC Coach of the Year award
Speaker 5: list or award honor. This one is from the AP media.
Speaker 5: So the Associated Press today named Pat Kelsey ACC coach.
Speaker 5: There yesterday it was the coaches in the media within
Speaker 5: the league that named it. So both have gone to
Speaker 5: Pat Kelsey and I don't think anybody should be really
Speaker 5: shocked by but you know who is and who's bothered
Speaker 5: as Duke, which again that's not a crazy thing in theory,
Speaker 5: you want your coach to get good honors, but I
Speaker 5: just can't think that you would you would feel like
Speaker 5: it's a risk worth taking, right because again these this
Speaker 5: is for pr like this is for pr in in
Speaker 5: marketing that kind of stuff. I can't I can't imagine
Speaker 5: Shire would be okay with them doing this on his behalf,
Speaker 5: even if it's not on his behalf, Like I feel
Speaker 5: like he would have to sign off on it. And
Speaker 5: now I'm getting real, Like you know, I'm getting this.
Speaker 5: I want I don't want to act like it's that
Speaker 5: serious of a thing. But like if if John Shire
Speaker 5: is somebody who like not only is okay with them
Speaker 5: posting this stuff making him look like he's a victim
Speaker 5: here or maybe even like he's the one telling him
Speaker 5: to do it, then like that to me says a
Speaker 5: lot about how he's wired.
Speaker 4: Like he's kind of weird.
Speaker 5: He's the dukiest of all the duke dudes, right like
Speaker 5: he's I mean, he's the cornball goober.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean they're the ones that's tagging him on
Speaker 2: these posts.
Speaker 5: Yes, again, so with j doesn't it seem as if
Speaker 5: like there's no maybe he didn't lead it, but he
Speaker 5: certainly is embracing it.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it still looked like posts that like you would
Speaker 2: be blogging about under like in a fan page. Yeah,
Speaker 2: not like the official like Programs basketball team having rage
Speaker 2: bait basically is what it's called, like.
Speaker 4: You, And it wasn't just the graphic they posted. Here's
Speaker 4: the tweets what it said.
Speaker 5: Haven't seen a coach Snubb for ACC Coach of the
Speaker 5: Year like this since coach k didn't win it once
Speaker 5: over his final twenty two seasons, which included three national titles,
Speaker 5: ten ACC Attorney titles, five ACC regular season titles in
Speaker 5: eleven thirty win seasons. And then shout out to John
Speaker 5: Shire tagged him, and then they mentioned the nineteen one record,
Speaker 5: the ten ACC wins by twenty five or more most
Speaker 5: of all time, and again like for a fan to
Speaker 5: say that, for someone like you know me and what
Speaker 5: we do here to say that about Louisville, right, that's
Speaker 5: normal again And I know in a way, I'm like,
Speaker 5: I don't want to sound like I'm a hypocrite, because
Speaker 5: I'm sure some people are listening, Like have you heard yourself?
Speaker 5: You think it's out of line for a for a
Speaker 5: Twitter account to defend their coach and say that he
Speaker 5: should have won it. You got to hear me out
Speaker 5: these these official accounts that are run by the program.
Speaker 5: I mean it might as well be a press release
Speaker 5: from the from the program. And again for them to
Speaker 5: feel that way is not crazy. They want like, wouldn't
Speaker 5: shock me if I if you if you overheard a
Speaker 5: Duke assistant coach and a Duke fan or a Duke
Speaker 5: player talking about the award, they would gass up their
Speaker 5: guy shier and probably try to discredit pack Kelsey in
Speaker 5: some way.
Speaker 4: That's normal behavior.
Speaker 2: If it was like the Duke's Nick coffee, if it
Speaker 2: was Duke coffee. Yeah, on whatever Blue Devil Connecting Company
Speaker 2: radio they're doing, it would make sense.
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, And and you know I would understand, and
Speaker 5: I would you know, I get because if Kelsey didn't
Speaker 5: win it, I might be not here today. I might
Speaker 5: have I might have found a way to get to
Speaker 5: the headquarters of the league and hold somebody account. Oh
Speaker 5: there was gonna be some talking. So again like I'm
Speaker 5: not some like I don't represent anybody by myself. But
Speaker 5: I just mean, like it's for those who don't really
Speaker 5: get what these social media accounts are for programs, then
Speaker 5: I think it's probably like Okay, I don't get to
Speaker 5: get what the big deal is and Honestly, if that's
Speaker 5: your position and that's how you see it, I totally understand.
Speaker 5: But it's just, you know, if you know, you know,
Speaker 5: this is so rare or really and it's really never
Speaker 5: been never, never been seen before because again, you know,
Speaker 5: like they this was prepared if he didn't win for
Speaker 5: them to put it out there. It wasn't something that
Speaker 5: they just had a lot of time to create like
Speaker 5: they I mean, and not to say that like Shire
Speaker 5: shouldn't care about winning acc Coach of the Year, but
Speaker 5: to me, going back to what Beheim said earlier in
Speaker 5: this in this Pit Notre Dame game, there's no doubt
Speaker 5: that when you look at what both guys did in
Speaker 5: the regular season, it certainly feels like Pat Kelsey's role
Speaker 5: in it was more of a factor in Louisville having
Speaker 5: the success than they had than John Shier having the
Speaker 5: success that he had. Doesn't mean he didn't do a
Speaker 5: good job, doesn't mean he's not a good coach, but
Speaker 5: that's a result that a lot of people would have
Speaker 5: expected with Pat Kelsey, maybe more so than than we realiz.
Speaker 5: It's actually not just about him. It's about having superstar players.
Speaker 5: And look, these guys do deserve credit, but anybody looking
Speaker 5: at the turnaround for Louisville and getting the results that
Speaker 5: Louisville has had this year in the regular season now
Speaker 5: that it's over, and knowing that they lost two guys
Speaker 5: to injury early on, I mean, I actually think, again,
Speaker 5: this is real rich of me to say again, and
Speaker 5: I know I sound like the ultimate homer here, but
Speaker 5: I don't feel like you'll find many examples better of
Speaker 5: what is deserving of this award because it doesn't always
Speaker 5: go to somebody who just coached the best team. It
Speaker 5: just doesn't. And Duke pointed that out in their tweet,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like they pointed it out
Speaker 5: as if it was you know. So it just makes
Speaker 5: them look very, very insecure and thin skinned and cannot
Speaker 5: read the room, because first of all, to do it
Speaker 5: in general, it's just weird behavior, but also I mean
Speaker 5: the I'm not really mad tone because this is what
Speaker 5: it says. Haven't seen a snub like this since coach
Speaker 5: k didn't win it once over his twenty two years,
Speaker 5: and they mentioned all of.
Speaker 4: His accolades, so it's like a desperation.
Speaker 5: I'm not really mad because we never get it because
Speaker 5: look at what coach k did and he didn't get it.
Speaker 4: But no, bye bye.
Speaker 5: By the absolute process that you went through, you're clearly
Speaker 5: really mad buttthole hurt because there's a lot of effort
Speaker 5: that you just.
Speaker 4: Don't see from like the you should be gearing up
Speaker 4: for like Cooper Flag Player of the Year.
Speaker 5: You know, pr campaigns. You should be, you know, realizing
Speaker 5: that you were going to have the most watched team
Speaker 5: in the tournament this year because you've got Cooper Flag.
Speaker 5: And yet like they're they're like, you know again, it's not,
Speaker 5: it's not. It's also it's actually normal to have to
Speaker 5: to feel that way, but to use your official teams
Speaker 5: social media accounts to to be this bothered by it.
Speaker 5: It's just weird and really lame. And the more I
Speaker 5: think about it, and the more we've just talked through it,
Speaker 5: there have a hard time thinking Shires not all in
Speaker 5: on it, which part of me says, Okay, maybe this
Speaker 5: is a guy that really isn't afraid to just be
Speaker 5: But no, that's not that pet a door like, he's
Speaker 5: not somebody that's gonna be like I'll be I'll go
Speaker 5: against the grain, show, I'll show more than any other
Speaker 5: coach out here, I'm gonna be one of the boys, like, no,
Speaker 5: he's that's not him at all. I just think they
Speaker 5: don't have any realization that they look really even like
Speaker 5: I mean, collectively, they're getting clown nuts by Louisville fans
Speaker 5: And it's another sign and thank you to somebody on
Speaker 5: the text line I just said this. It's like one
Speaker 5: of the weird signs that we're back, right, you know.
Speaker 2: We we're talking about other stations or other social media accounts,
Speaker 2: the teams.
Speaker 5: And clearly Duke's Duke's bothered and upset by Louisville winning something.
Speaker 5: If that's not a sign that we're heading back, then
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 2: If threatened a little bit exactly.
Speaker 5: But I love it, by the way, I'm not I'm
Speaker 5: not I'm not confident if Louisville played Duke, if they'd
Speaker 5: win right now, but on me either, But I do
Speaker 5: love that, like everybody on you know, again, it's just
Speaker 5: the internet.
Speaker 4: You can find whatever you want there.
Speaker 5: But like, oh yeah, we'll see a Friday or when
Speaker 5: it is Saturday, like people acting like okay, we'll basically
Speaker 5: Louisville fans telling Duke fans we'll settle it on Saturday.
Speaker 5: That's that's the vibe we have right now. I don't
Speaker 5: think we'd win, but I love that the fans are like,
Speaker 5: come on, we'll play you.
Speaker 4: We'd scared, We scared? All right? Quick break?
Speaker 1: Now back to coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day, I.
Speaker 5: Swear during the break, I just felt like I had
Speaker 5: somebody else's wallet that was not mine. This one has
Speaker 5: no money, which mine never has money either. But I
Speaker 5: had to take a picture of my driver's license and
Speaker 5: send it to my wife. She's she's doing the tax
Speaker 5: stuff today. So oh, Uncle Sam's greedy ass is getting
Speaker 5: his cut. I mean, he's he wants it all.
Speaker 4: He's greedy as can be.
Speaker 2: That's right his hand out.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 5: So she needed a picture of my license. And I
Speaker 5: haven't looked at my driver's license in a long time,
Speaker 5: even whenever I've occasionally been asked to provide it when
Speaker 5: I order a drink or I can't even the last
Speaker 5: time I had to give it to somebody. But anyways,
Speaker 5: my face is humongous, like I have the fattest face.
Speaker 5: I thought it wasn't me. And I go back to
Speaker 5: when this was taken and it was before I was
Speaker 5: working with the folks at the Little Women's Clinic. I mean,
Speaker 5: my overall weight hasn't changed a whole light has. I mean,
Speaker 5: I've lost weight since I first started doing the testosterone treatment,
Speaker 5: But really that was just more of a that helped
Speaker 5: me get more out of like working out to where
Speaker 5: it wasn't like I really changed a whole lot. The
Speaker 5: benefit was that my testosterone levels were where they needed
Speaker 5: to be and I was seeing more results in the gym.
Speaker 5: But you know, just excess pudge.
Speaker 2: It was everywhere. I mean, I you know I was,
Speaker 2: you were thick, Yeah, I was.
Speaker 5: I was a little thick, thicky, thick, thick with with
Speaker 5: you know, the man boobs and just puffy and you
Speaker 5: know it's because my testosterone was low. And man, I
Speaker 5: actually need to go get my license renewed because myexpires
Speaker 5: this summer and I'm looking forward to getting a new
Speaker 5: picture and.
Speaker 2: Getting a real ID or just the basic one.
Speaker 4: What do I have to get? Like whatever's easiest.
Speaker 2: I don't I mean, probably just the regular basic one.
Speaker 2: But they just keep saying that you're gonna need that
Speaker 2: if you you know, if you want to do any excursions,
Speaker 2: you want to go like overseas or be able to fly.
Speaker 2: That's what they're saying, Like that's you're gonna need to forever.
Speaker 2: They have, and they've been pushing it back because I
Speaker 2: think it came out like right before COVID, and it
Speaker 2: just kept pushing back.
Speaker 5: Why do we need anything different than the same standard
Speaker 5: identification we've had for generations.
Speaker 2: That's I think that's everybody's argument right now.
Speaker 4: I mean, I just I don't. I don't get it because.
Speaker 2: I'm still hanging on for dear life with my just
Speaker 2: regular Kentuck Kentucky State driver's license. I've been purposely putting
Speaker 2: it off, the real idea and every time I go
Speaker 2: or because I've lost my ID, I'm very irresponsible and
Speaker 2: every scary thing very much. And then I might have
Speaker 2: kids here in a few years. But like anytime I've
Speaker 2: ever went to the DMV to go get it, you
Speaker 2: can pay for the ID, or it can pay like
Speaker 2: an extra ten or like fifteen dollars I think it
Speaker 2: is to get the real ID. I've just always opted
Speaker 2: to take the cheaper route until I necessarily have to.
Speaker 5: I'll probably do whatever I need you to get the
Speaker 5: real ID, unless it's like a big expense just because
Speaker 5: I don't want to be like Sol because I'm gonna
Speaker 5: go get it done. I don't want to have to
Speaker 5: go back again if then I need the real, you know,
Speaker 5: the real id. Wow, did you see the ending of
Speaker 5: this Pittsburgh Notre Dame game?
Speaker 1: No?

Speaker 2: Oh man, no boy.
Speaker 5: An insanely terrible late call almost after the game ended.
Speaker 5: Unless we missed it, but Pittsburgh got called for a

Speaker 5: Notre Dame down one. Two free throws they made both,
Speaker 5: and uh no, I'm sorry it was tied, so they tied.

Speaker 5: Cable's season's over, and I guess he's getting another year.

Speaker 5: Pittsburgh had a chance with like no time left and
Speaker 5: didn't do it. So yeah, Pittsburgh season's over, and man,
Speaker 5: that was crazy. All right, we got to get to
Speaker 5: a break two hours left. Stick around right here, it's
