WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven nine day. Now

2
00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:09.439
<v Speaker 1>here's Nick coffee.

3
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get the five o'clock hours started here

4
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:17.920
<v Speaker 2>on a Monday afternoon coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's

5
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:20.640
<v Speaker 2>on Sports Talk seven ninety. As you could expect if

6
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:22.239
<v Speaker 2>you are just now joining us, a lot of reacting

7
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Speaker 2>to what happened this weekend for Louisville, A real punch

8
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.879
<v Speaker 2>to the gut. For Kentucky, probably as good as they

9
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>felt about well, probably as good as they have felt

10
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 2>following a win in a long long time. I mean,

11
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:37.960
<v Speaker 2>they could still have a special season, but obviously you

12
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.759
<v Speaker 2>know that win put them at three and two. A

13
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Speaker 2>lot of winnable games left for him, no doubt. But yeah,

14
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I haven't really spent a whole lot of time trying

15
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:48.880
<v Speaker 2>to check the pulse of that fan base to see

16
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.359
<v Speaker 2>how they're reacting, because you know, you're more inclined to

17
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.880
<v Speaker 2>want to hear them when they're crying and they give

18
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.240
<v Speaker 2>us their tears. That's kind of how the rivalry works, right,

19
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Like I know how I know that there were many

20
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.560
<v Speaker 2>people listening to the postgame shows we would do during

21
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 2>the Kinney Payne era that were not Louisville fans, but

22
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 2>just wanted to kind of sit and enjoy the misery

23
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 2>that we were going through, because again, that's how the

24
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 2>rivalry works. So a lot of reaction. Haven't really talked

25
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot about anything else. We do have a

26
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.280
<v Speaker 2>couple of Monday night football games tonight, which I didn't

27
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>realize they were giving us double Monday night football and

28
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:23.640
<v Speaker 2>back to back weeks. I like it. I don't know

29
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 2>how many more they're going to do, but you know,

30
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 2>I wish they would do it every week. I would

31
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 2>imagine that the NFL would be doing that if they

32
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.319
<v Speaker 2>felt it was beneficial for them. But yeah, a couple

33
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 2>of Monday night games. I want to get to a

34
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 2>little bit later on because when it comes to underdog fantasy,

35
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 2>that's where I'm having success. It's not anything else. It's

36
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 2>not betting. I'm not having any success when it comes

37
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 2>to that. But uh yeah, five two, five, nine hundred

38
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:49.959
<v Speaker 2>is the number. If you guys want to jump in

39
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:51.840
<v Speaker 2>and join us on the phone lines. We do have

40
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 2>lines open now if you want to give us a

41
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.319
<v Speaker 2>call react to whatever I mean. I would imagine most

42
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 2>of the people that would call in would want to

43
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>react to what happened in South Bend. I think those

44
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 2>that called the postgame show, which we had full calls

45
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>throughout the entirety of the show, as you could expect

46
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 2>that usually is the case any game, but especially after

47
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 2>a loss. It was the first time we all collectively,

48
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 2>I think, realized that we lost a big game that

49
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 2>we could have won, some may say should have won.

50
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>And yet a big factor in that was the coach.

51
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 2>Meaning while we did not to say that, like Jeff specifically,

52
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>but you know, to come out and play so sloppy,

53
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 2>to make so many mistakes, to have three turnovers that really,

54
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, were easily avoidable, like that's just not something

55
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 2>we've done before as a fan base. And again not

56
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.719
<v Speaker 2>to act like last year when Louisville lost games or

57
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 2>even when they won games, that there wasn't criticism for

58
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Bram and his staff. I mean, I think fans

59
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 2>have been critical when necessary. I don't think anybody's been

60
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 2>over the top. Maybe some have, but like I think

61
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>we have kind of removed ourselves from the toxicity that

62
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 2>we were going through with the end of Bobby, with

63
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 2>sadderfield to wear, we can be critical, but it doesn't

64
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:02.919
<v Speaker 2>mean we want a new coach, doesn't mean we think

65
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:04.800
<v Speaker 2>our guy's not any good. But you know, Jeff did

66
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 2>not have a good day. That's a nice way of

67
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.000
<v Speaker 2>saying he had a bad day. Some might say he

68
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 2>had a really bad day, because it just was unusual

69
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 2>for us to be in that position. I mean, it

70
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>was the first time I can think of that we

71
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 2>were feeling really really kind of underwhelmed and disappointed. And

72
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.840
<v Speaker 2>yet a big factor in that was that the coaching staff.

73
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Now it's not to say players don't take some responsibility.

74
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 2>They always do, but it's the coach's job to get

75
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 2>him ready. And I went back and forth with somebody

76
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.680
<v Speaker 2>on Twitter on Saturday because you know, I don't think

77
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 2>what I said was out of a line. I don't

78
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 2>think it was you know, controversial. I don't even think

79
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:44.840
<v Speaker 2>it was a hot take. I just said, you know,

80
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>one thing I expected was for Louisville to come out

81
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.400
<v Speaker 2>sharp and ready to play. It's been the exact opposite.

82
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:54.479
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I guess it's semantics when it comes

83
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.360
<v Speaker 2>to like being ready to play. But whenever you have

84
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>as many mistakes as they had in the first quest,

85
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, to me, that says you're not ready to play.

86
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I would say you could watch Louisville in

87
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 2>the first quarter and all the mistakes they made that

88
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>really Notre Dame had no impact, and I think most

89
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.000
<v Speaker 2>people watching would say, yeah, looks like they didn't come

90
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 2>ready to play. But for some reason, someone took issue

91
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 2>with that. So you know, there's nothing you can do

92
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 2>about it now, and it doesn't make me feel any

93
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 2>better in the moment. Certainly didn't make me feel any

94
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 2>better on Saturday. But I'm not looking at this Louisville

95
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 2>team from a personnel standpoint or from a coaching standpoint

96
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>feeling like, Okay, I'm worried we don't have the pieces

97
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 2>or the ability to win a bunch of games this

98
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.160
<v Speaker 2>year and maybe find ourselves in Charlotte for the ACC

99
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 2>Championship game. Again, I don't know they're going to do that,

100
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.240
<v Speaker 2>but like, it'd be worse if we were sitting here thinking, like, damn,

101
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 2>we went up to South Bend and they rolled us.

102
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.920
<v Speaker 2>They were better in every way, and that isn't at

103
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:56.360
<v Speaker 2>all what we're saying, and that would be worst case scenario.

104
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 2>But it's still to me. It's just I've said it

105
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.600
<v Speaker 2>since the postgame show started on Saturday. I've said it

106
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 2>a few times today, why not say it once more.

107
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:08.800
<v Speaker 2>I cannot think of a game that has given me

108
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 2>the same feeling that this one gave me. Because you know,

109
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.680
<v Speaker 2>you were better than Notre Dame. I feel like you lost,

110
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 2>and it's all that really matters when it comes to

111
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.439
<v Speaker 2>like how we were evaluated as college football programs. You

112
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>play twelve games in the regular season. You got to

113
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>win as many as possible. You win a lot, you

114
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 2>can do special things. You don't win much. That's not good.

115
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.519
<v Speaker 2>So it would be worse if Louisville, you know, went

116
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 2>up there and got humbled. But that didn't What happened.

117
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Louisville had one hundred and fifteen more total yards, way

118
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:41.800
<v Speaker 2>more passing yards, over one hundred more passing yards, had

119
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.480
<v Speaker 2>more rushing yards, had nineteen first downs to their eleven

120
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.639
<v Speaker 2>first downs. I mean, it's one of those games where

121
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:50.519
<v Speaker 2>you look at the box score and you think, Okay,

122
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 2>looking at these stats, how'd you lose? Well, it's because

123
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:58.079
<v Speaker 2>of your your mistakes, and it's not just the turnovers, right,

124
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.600
<v Speaker 2>because they capitalized on all three of your turnovers. They

125
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.879
<v Speaker 2>had seventeen points off of your mistakes. The Corey ja

126
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.399
<v Speaker 2>Corey Brooks bobbled and passed that they got the interception

127
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>for they scored off that, the fumble from Jack from

128
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>not Jack Lumber from Tyler Shuck flashbacks. Yeah, they scored

129
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 2>off that. You know, we gave him a touchdown with

130
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 2>the snap over the punter's head. So like that's how

131
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:23.199
<v Speaker 2>you lose games with the stat line like that, those

132
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.399
<v Speaker 2>critical mistakes that cost you. But it wasn't just that.

133
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, not getting any points at the

134
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.680
<v Speaker 2>end of the half, the decisions made when going forward

135
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.639
<v Speaker 2>on fourth down, not calling a time out at the

136
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>end of the first half just to kind of get

137
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.160
<v Speaker 2>your composure together. That was a head scratcher to me.

138
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, having a delay of game in that moment

139
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:46.560
<v Speaker 2>at the very end is just maddening. So overall it's

140
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>a tough pill to swallow, knowing that literally you take

141
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.079
<v Speaker 2>away one of those mistakes, you have one of those

142
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.360
<v Speaker 2>calls go your way, the insanely stupid double pass interference

143
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 2>which nobody's ever seen before. If that doesn't if that

144
00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 2>doesn't happen and they just call the right play, which

145
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.920
<v Speaker 2>is you know, pass interference on the defense, or they

146
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:07.079
<v Speaker 2>spot the ball correctly on one of those instances where

147
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:08.839
<v Speaker 2>we thought we got a bad spot. Like one of

148
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.040
<v Speaker 2>those things goes your way, you still potentially win. So again,

149
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't make me feel like this team is in trouble.

150
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.480
<v Speaker 2>But to know that, like one little mistake or one

151
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.920
<v Speaker 2>big mistake that you could have avoided, if that doesn't happen,

152
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:22.839
<v Speaker 2>you might leave with leave South Bend with a win,

153
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:24.639
<v Speaker 2>and there's a lot of value there. So to have

154
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 2>that missed opportunity because of sloppy play, poor decisions, it's

155
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.120
<v Speaker 2>just it sucks. But again, it could be worse. We

156
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:32.680
<v Speaker 2>could be coming off of a loss where you went

157
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.600
<v Speaker 2>up there and you got beat up, you got humbled,

158
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 2>and you realize we're not any good And I don't

159
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.519
<v Speaker 2>look being good and being bad is defined by what

160
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:41.560
<v Speaker 2>winning and losing. And you lost, so we got to

161
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.800
<v Speaker 2>take the l But I don't think many are questioning

162
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:47.600
<v Speaker 2>if this team has the pieces. I mean, ja, Corey

163
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 2>Brooks is really good. Tyler Schuck. Stats don't even show

164
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.959
<v Speaker 2>how good of a day he had. Colin Lacy probably

165
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:56.199
<v Speaker 2>made the best catch I've seen a Louisville player make

166
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>in years in his first game as a louis of

167
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.199
<v Speaker 2>a cardinal. We got to work on getting better pass protection,

168
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.040
<v Speaker 2>that's for sure. But other than that, from a personnel standpoint,

169
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I still feel pretty good about where we are. We're

170
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.199
<v Speaker 2>gonna get Quincy Riley back at some point, maybe it's

171
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>this week. I don't know. So it still sucks, but again,

172
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.279
<v Speaker 2>it could be worse. All right, let's go to the

173
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>thon lines five two, five, seven, one seventy nine hundred

174
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:19.240
<v Speaker 2>is the number. If you want to jump in and

175
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>give us a call. Let's go to Cody. Cody, you're

176
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:23.240
<v Speaker 2>on Sports Talk seven ninety what uth Man?

177
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:25.560
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Nick, what's happening?

178
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Man?

179
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:29.639
<v Speaker 3>It's been a while since I call it in brother, Yes,

180
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.039
<v Speaker 3>sir man, Nick, I'm not trying to be biased by

181
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.000
<v Speaker 3>any means, because I try to watch the games and

182
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 3>not have that mindset. Obviously, every game they play I

183
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.080
<v Speaker 3>think they can win. And Nick, like, am I crazy

184
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.399
<v Speaker 3>for thinking that if they play this game ten times,

185
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.519
<v Speaker 3>Louisville wins the game seven maybe eight times?

186
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Like?

187
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:47.840
<v Speaker 3>Am I crazy to think that?

188
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.600
<v Speaker 2>There was just so many I don't think you're crazy, Cody,

189
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.159
<v Speaker 2>because you know, I mean, it's it's when we Because

190
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:54.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say it with you. I think they might

191
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:56.759
<v Speaker 2>win more than seven times. And it's not because I'm

192
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.000
<v Speaker 2>saying that Louisville's great. I don't think Notre Dame's very good.

193
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.840
<v Speaker 2>But and again, if you beat him that many times,

194
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.080
<v Speaker 2>it would there would be value that that is not there,

195
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:06.600
<v Speaker 2>because you know, if you want to beat if you're

196
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.159
<v Speaker 2>gonna beat Notre Dame, you'd rather beat them when they're

197
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:10.440
<v Speaker 2>really good. But like, that's another part of it that

198
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:12.279
<v Speaker 2>makes it frustrating for me, is that I don't think

199
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame's special in any way.

200
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:17.879
<v Speaker 3>Oh, Nick, I completely agree, man, And I got I

201
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:19.679
<v Speaker 3>got a short ramble here for a second, then I'm

202
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:21.759
<v Speaker 3>going to hang up and listen. But I mean, the

203
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:24.519
<v Speaker 3>game started off so well with getting that Fumbo recovery

204
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.399
<v Speaker 3>and then scoring, and Riley Leonard for the whole season

205
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.320
<v Speaker 3>had one touchdown pass and we leave that guy wide

206
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 3>open and give him a free one and then he

207
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 3>has another one. But I mean, like you said, Nick,

208
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:35.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't think Notre Dame is good at all. I

209
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.120
<v Speaker 3>don't think Riley Leonard is good at all. But I mean,

210
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.279
<v Speaker 3>if there's anything a moral victory and a loss, the

211
00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 3>way they fought back, I mean when once they got

212
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:44.919
<v Speaker 3>down in the years past, they just laid down and

213
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.399
<v Speaker 3>move on to the next week. But I mean, honestly,

214
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 3>I think they can run the table. I know Clifson

215
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.279
<v Speaker 3>and Clifton in Miami are obviously going to be tough

216
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.519
<v Speaker 3>with cam Ward and then at Kentucky at the end

217
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:57.000
<v Speaker 3>of the season. Please God just let us finally beat them.

218
00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.159
<v Speaker 3>And last thing, Nick, I'm gonna hang up and listen.

219
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.720
<v Speaker 3>If I've missed it already, forgiven me. I've been picking

220
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:04.399
<v Speaker 3>up the kids from school and listening in periodically and stuff.

221
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.799
<v Speaker 3>But what's the update on the blessed name of car.

222
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 3>I need to know how Nick feels about auto zone today.

223
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.519
<v Speaker 3>That's been my biggest concern in all weekend. I've been

224
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:13.720
<v Speaker 3>worried sick about your car.

225
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Nick.

226
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 3>Please buddy you and love to go.

227
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Cody. I appreciate it. Yeah, I'll get to

228
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.440
<v Speaker 2>the to the car situation. That'll be the last thing

229
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:24.879
<v Speaker 2>I respond to here from your call. But yeah, I

230
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.879
<v Speaker 2>mean Notre Dame like it'd be in our best interest

231
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:30.919
<v Speaker 2>if they continue to win, and they're only lost this

232
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.120
<v Speaker 2>year is against Northern Illinois. I just don't think that's

233
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:34.559
<v Speaker 2>going to be the case, although they don't have that

234
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:36.039
<v Speaker 2>tough of a schedule this year. That's why there was

235
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.799
<v Speaker 2>so much emphasis from Notre Dame in this louisvill game

236
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:41.039
<v Speaker 2>is because they knew going in, hey, we have a

237
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.480
<v Speaker 2>chance here to get a win that has real value,

238
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:46.360
<v Speaker 2>which it does. I mean, that's a weird situation to

239
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 2>be in Madgen telling somebody that twenty five years ago,

240
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:51.639
<v Speaker 2>but louisvilleootball would be looked at as a big opportunity

241
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:53.080
<v Speaker 2>for Notre Dame. But that's the way it played out.

242
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:54.799
<v Speaker 2>They have little learned prayers, so any game to them

243
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.240
<v Speaker 2>is big with their lost in Northern Illinois already there.

244
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.120
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, like I just can you throw that, throw

245
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.159
<v Speaker 2>that in the mix, add it to the list or whatever,

246
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 2>you know. As far as things that make it a

247
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.399
<v Speaker 2>tough pill to swallow, losing to Notre Dame at their

248
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.919
<v Speaker 2>place by a touchdown is in most instances, never something

249
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.879
<v Speaker 2>you can really feel like, yeah, oh that sucked. But

250
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.720
<v Speaker 2>that's the way I feel. All that sucked because of

251
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:23.519
<v Speaker 2>they weren't even that good and that you know. So

252
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.600
<v Speaker 2>as far as Riley Leonard look, Louisville's mistakes made it

253
00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:29.879
<v Speaker 2>to where he didn't have you know, he didn't have

254
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.679
<v Speaker 2>to go very far to score some of those touchdowns,

255
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:33.879
<v Speaker 2>and you know, he played better. And I'll give credit

256
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:36.080
<v Speaker 2>where it's due. I think early on they were making

257
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.919
<v Speaker 2>it easy on him. I mean, he looked great in

258
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.440
<v Speaker 2>that first quarter, in first half, really, and yet he

259
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.679
<v Speaker 2>hadn't looked like that all year. Well, ron English made

260
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.240
<v Speaker 2>some adjustments and the louisvill defense was much better in

261
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.200
<v Speaker 2>the second half, held him scoreless in the third, and

262
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:49.799
<v Speaker 2>then in the fourth quarter. You know they didn't they

263
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:54.159
<v Speaker 2>didn't score until that interception that Louisville threw. So you know,

264
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.799
<v Speaker 2>damn Notre Dame game. As far as running the table,

265
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:02.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look, I'm not going anywhere close to that

266
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.159
<v Speaker 2>just yet. Now, do they have the opportunity, Yeah, I mean,

267
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.120
<v Speaker 2>like beating any team left on the schedule wouldn't be

268
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.600
<v Speaker 2>looked at as some crazy thing when it comes down

269
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.840
<v Speaker 2>to it. Because Miami's right now ranked is the best

270
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 2>team on your schedule. You got to go to Clemson.

271
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:18.320
<v Speaker 2>They're playing really good football right now. You know you

272
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.600
<v Speaker 2>will play Kentucky at their place, and you know, right

273
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 2>now they're looking really good. I mean that Kentucky can

274
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:25.600
<v Speaker 2>beat Ole Miss at their place. I mean, clearly they

275
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:27.519
<v Speaker 2>can beat Louisville at home. I don't even want to

276
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:29.679
<v Speaker 2>go there with that game just yet. I'm not ready

277
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:34.279
<v Speaker 2>to do it. I can't, I can't. But this SMU

278
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.399
<v Speaker 2>game has kind of surprisingly turned into like a really

279
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.600
<v Speaker 2>big spot for Louisville, because a win here is really

280
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:43.120
<v Speaker 2>what you're supposed to do. I mean, you opened up

281
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I think last week midweek you opened up as eleven

282
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.840
<v Speaker 2>point favorites in this game. Now that you've lost, although

283
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>you lost as dogs and they beat the snot out

284
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:53.879
<v Speaker 2>of Florida State, which I guess really isn't saying much

285
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:56.200
<v Speaker 2>in the grand scheme of things, but they're loss that

286
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.440
<v Speaker 2>SMU had against BYU earlier this year is now looking

287
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:02.240
<v Speaker 2>like a real quality loss. B why used playing damn

288
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 2>good football and they nearly lost to Nevada SIMU did,

289
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:08.519
<v Speaker 2>But since then they've made a quarterback change and they're

290
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:10.399
<v Speaker 2>playing good football right now. They're you know, right now

291
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:12.399
<v Speaker 2>lois is favored by TOUCHDWN. I'm kind of surprised by that.

292
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:14.200
<v Speaker 2>But when I say it's a big spot, I mean,

293
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:17.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, you really can prove something to yourself and

294
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.399
<v Speaker 2>to you know, fans. I'm sure they don't really talk

295
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:21.440
<v Speaker 2>about that when it comes to game prep or whatnot.

296
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.720
<v Speaker 2>But you've now played two real teams and you've not

297
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.159
<v Speaker 2>been You've not been clean in either of them. You've

298
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:30.799
<v Speaker 2>been sloppy for different reasons. A lot of penalties against

299
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech. And clearly you weren't a sloppy against Gegea

300
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:34.919
<v Speaker 2>Tech as you were against Notre Dame, but you didn't

301
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 2>play clean football, and some of that I think is

302
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech's doing. But again, the penalties, the disorganization, just

303
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:44.639
<v Speaker 2>just just not a great overall performance. But you were

304
00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:47.080
<v Speaker 2>able to make plays when when it mattered, and you

305
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.360
<v Speaker 2>did to Georgia Tech what Notre Dame did to you

306
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.440
<v Speaker 2>the next week, which is take advantage of mistakes they

307
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.799
<v Speaker 2>were made. So I'm not saying George Tich wasn't a

308
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:57.200
<v Speaker 2>good game, but like there were some avoidable mistakes made,

309
00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.600
<v Speaker 2>some sloppiness that should be cleaned up. And then Notre Dame.

310
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:02.519
<v Speaker 2>We don't need to dive back into all the things

311
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:04.759
<v Speaker 2>that happened that could have been avoided that you would

312
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.480
<v Speaker 2>have expect to see a team do in that moment,

313
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.360
<v Speaker 2>especially one that usually under coach Jeff Brohm comes ready

314
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:13.320
<v Speaker 2>to play in those games. So against SMU, if you

315
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:15.919
<v Speaker 2>come out and let's say you win, but it's close

316
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:19.960
<v Speaker 2>and you feel like you really shot yourself in the

317
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.480
<v Speaker 2>foot in a critical moment here and maybe later in

318
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.120
<v Speaker 2>the game again, if you win, that's really all that like,

319
00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.480
<v Speaker 2>that's that's how you're viewed, how that's how you evaluated

320
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.639
<v Speaker 2>in the grand scheme of things. But if you're sloppy again,

321
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.320
<v Speaker 2>even in a win, here's what we have to say

322
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.600
<v Speaker 2>as a vent as of Saturday. That would be your

323
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:40.000
<v Speaker 2>identity as a team. Yeah, yeah, it's fixable. Yeah, it's

324
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:42.720
<v Speaker 2>clearly things you don't have to go practice at. It's

325
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:47.440
<v Speaker 2>just you know, tightening up. And you know there's a

326
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.679
<v Speaker 2>lot of teams that you know, say that early on, Well,

327
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:53.200
<v Speaker 2>if we can just stop having penalties, if we can

328
00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.039
<v Speaker 2>just you know, hold on to the ball, we can

329
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.799
<v Speaker 2>just you know, not hurt ourselves, we'll be all right.

330
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Well then, sure enough, you realize six weeks ago by

331
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:04.200
<v Speaker 2>and you're still saying that, you know what that means,

332
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:07.320
<v Speaker 2>that's who you are. Fixable, sure, but you're not fixing it.

333
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.200
<v Speaker 2>That's your identity. And I'm not saying that's where Louisville

334
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:12.679
<v Speaker 2>is right now, but I think it would be really

335
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:14.879
<v Speaker 2>really telling if they come out and just play a

336
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:19.360
<v Speaker 2>clean game of football where you're not worried about them

337
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:23.360
<v Speaker 2>making mistakes that really are just on them. I mean

338
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:26.919
<v Speaker 2>quite literally. The amount of things that went wrong for

339
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Louisville that they just did it themselves Saturday, that Notre

340
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Dame had no impact on is unbelievable. All right, So AutoZone,

341
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I gave an update on Friday, and there

342
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:41.799
<v Speaker 2>really hasn't been one that's changed since then. So you know,

343
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:44.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna hopefully hear from them in the next couple

344
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.159
<v Speaker 2>of days. Not AutoZone, because I've not heard from them ever.

345
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I've literally had to be the one calling them every

346
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:54.039
<v Speaker 2>single time I have had any communication with them, and

347
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.559
<v Speaker 2>it's usually multiple attempts before I get somebody to answer me.

348
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:02.759
<v Speaker 2>But my car will essentially be away from me, broken

349
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:06.360
<v Speaker 2>for two weeks because AutoZone tried to connect my battery

350
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.679
<v Speaker 2>incorrectly for three straight hours and zap the main fuse

351
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.279
<v Speaker 2>whatever the hell that is, zapped the alternator, which needs

352
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:16.120
<v Speaker 2>to be replaced, and because it's Volkswagen, they had to

353
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.759
<v Speaker 2>order it and it wasn't just readily available at the dealership,

354
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 2>so you know, hopefully they give me a call later

355
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.679
<v Speaker 2>this week and then AutoZone shows up and pays what

356
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.559
<v Speaker 2>the damage is and then I go get my car.

357
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Like that's that's what I hope to happen. But nothing

358
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.120
<v Speaker 2>would shock me at this point. So we shall see.

359
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:38.960
<v Speaker 2>And here's what I don't get, Austin. You know you've

360
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:42.799
<v Speaker 2>worked in customer service before, I believe. Yeah, I'm not

361
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.320
<v Speaker 2>asking for anybody to kiss my ass. I'm not asking

362
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:47.759
<v Speaker 2>for I'm really there's the thing. I don't really know

363
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:51.919
<v Speaker 2>what I'm asking for, but like no acknowledgment for taking

364
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:55.000
<v Speaker 2>my money, me giving you business, and you breaking my car,

365
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:59.559
<v Speaker 2>leaving me without a vehicle for two weeks and just

366
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.799
<v Speaker 2>expecting me to not continue to call you and ask

367
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:07.079
<v Speaker 2>like what's going to be done? Like that? That that

368
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:08.640
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make any sense, right, Yeah?

369
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:11.720
<v Speaker 4>No, you wouldn't you need some some Jeff Brown accountability?

370
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Well and you would think that with with like they

371
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:17.000
<v Speaker 2>don't work on cars at AutoZone right now, and now

372
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.240
<v Speaker 2>I know why because they tried to work on mine

373
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:20.160
<v Speaker 2>and they broke it.

374
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:21.720
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you got to think the guy that's putting

375
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:25.160
<v Speaker 4>in that battery is just probably some high school graduate.

376
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:26.559
<v Speaker 2>Or oh no, it was the manager who was a

377
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:29.319
<v Speaker 2>woman and her assistant manager who was a dude. And

378
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:31.960
<v Speaker 2>when I went back in the next day to like say,

379
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:34.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, yeah, you got the battery thing worked out,

380
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:36.440
<v Speaker 2>but my car's broken essentially and it can't I can't

381
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:39.839
<v Speaker 2>drive it whenever I had to explain that to a

382
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:42.240
<v Speaker 2>different associate that was not there the night before, Like

383
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.240
<v Speaker 2>they're embarrassed obviously, Yeah, I.

384
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.680
<v Speaker 4>Mean you don't. You don't have to be car experts

385
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:50.279
<v Speaker 4>to work there, but you have to. You have to

386
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:52.119
<v Speaker 4>at least know a little bit something what you're doing.

387
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:54.000
<v Speaker 4>If you're sitting there zapping a battery and trying to

388
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.880
<v Speaker 4>get it for start and it's backwards for three hours,

389
00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:59.480
<v Speaker 4>there has to be some accountability at least from that manager.

390
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:01.839
<v Speaker 4>And at least I hope that they're not getting pissed off,

391
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:02.880
<v Speaker 4>like out, why is this guy.

392
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Can And to be fair, they haven't done that, But

393
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:06.480
<v Speaker 2>that's not like I'm not going to praise them, like, well,

394
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.240
<v Speaker 2>at least they haven't been a holes because I've been upset.

395
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:12.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, at least again they're paying for the repair,

396
00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:17.160
<v Speaker 2>which that's good, but I almost feel like I don't

397
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:20.680
<v Speaker 2>know it's gonna curse, and I shouldn't, well duh should Like,

398
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to give them credit for like I'm

399
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:25.359
<v Speaker 2>still there. They still have a lot of making up

400
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:27.599
<v Speaker 2>to do, other than just paying for the damage they did,

401
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.519
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, because I've been inconvenienced in a way

402
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:33.279
<v Speaker 2>that like is quite literally their fault. And I've been

403
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:34.960
<v Speaker 2>people have been making fun of me online every now

404
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:36.799
<v Speaker 2>and then, like on Twitter, even some people on the

405
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:39.559
<v Speaker 2>text line. And it's fine, like it's whatever. But the

406
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:45.319
<v Speaker 2>reason that I didn't change the battery myself is because

407
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.519
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have any tools on me to Like, I

408
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:49.400
<v Speaker 2>can't do much with a car. I mean, I can

409
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:51.519
<v Speaker 2>change a battery, but I understand you have to have

410
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:53.519
<v Speaker 2>certain tools to be able to disconnect a battery. And

411
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I also know the vehicle that I drive, a Volkswagen,

412
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:58.759
<v Speaker 2>is a pain in the ass. You have one as well,

413
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:01.039
<v Speaker 2>so like you get it. So that's why when I

414
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:03.640
<v Speaker 2>went and got the battery, I left my car running

415
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.039
<v Speaker 2>and I went inside and I put the battery on

416
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:08.680
<v Speaker 2>the counter, and I said, if I purchased this, would

417
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:10.799
<v Speaker 2>you guys be able to do the swap here? And

418
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.480
<v Speaker 2>they looked up the vehicle that I had checked it

419
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:16.000
<v Speaker 2>and said, yeah, So that's why I let them do it.

420
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.559
<v Speaker 2>If they would have said no, I would have kept

421
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.920
<v Speaker 2>the car running. I would have gone home and replaced

422
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.000
<v Speaker 2>the battery then. I mean, that's that's what I would

423
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.680
<v Speaker 2>have done. I was trying to get to my son's

424
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:28.640
<v Speaker 2>football practice, and I feel like the last thing I

425
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:30.799
<v Speaker 2>wanted to do was get to his football practice park

426
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.440
<v Speaker 2>out there, like in the field where they practice, and

427
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:35.480
<v Speaker 2>then not be able to start my car because the

428
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:37.279
<v Speaker 2>battery is dead, need to get a jump. So, like,

429
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:39.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, I would never claim to be somebody that

430
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.799
<v Speaker 2>is super knowledgeable when it comes to vehicles. I don't

431
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:46.039
<v Speaker 2>know much of anything, but I can replace a battery.

432
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:48.319
<v Speaker 2>And the reason I chose not to do it then

433
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.480
<v Speaker 2>is because again I didn't. You know, they are fully

434
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:54.799
<v Speaker 2>responsible for claiming they could do it and then and

435
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.200
<v Speaker 2>then not being able to and it. And you know,

436
00:19:57.559 --> 00:19:59.759
<v Speaker 2>I hate even saying to their credit because I feel

437
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:01.759
<v Speaker 2>like it's not something they deserve credit for. It's just

438
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:03.960
<v Speaker 2>what you should do, but like they are paying for it,

439
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:05.920
<v Speaker 2>and they now know that like by doing that was

440
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.680
<v Speaker 2>that was on them. So we'll see, there's your update, Cody.

441
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:13.440
<v Speaker 2>It's probably not an entertaining one, but that's where we are.

442
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:15.839
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break, We'll come back on the other side.

443
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Keep this thing rolling along. It's coffee and Company. We

444
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.119
<v Speaker 2>are fueled by Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

445
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.039
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

446
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.039
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

447
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I talk to anybody, you know, regularly

448
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.240
<v Speaker 2>via phone that has Verizon, so I don't I don't

449
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:39.319
<v Speaker 2>know of anybody personally that's been impacted. But I'm curious

450
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:43.640
<v Speaker 2>if this outage is like as widespread as national as

451
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:45.559
<v Speaker 2>like some people are indicating, or if it's just people

452
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.480
<v Speaker 2>without service that are, you know, going on Wi Fi

453
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:50.519
<v Speaker 2>to complain about it on Facebook. Do you have Verizon?

454
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:51.720
<v Speaker 2>I have an AT and T.

455
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.759
<v Speaker 5>No, I'm a I'm a T mobile guy.

456
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, Verizon. I mean there's still like a big

457
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:00.359
<v Speaker 2>player in the service game, right.

458
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:02.359
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, Well they had their towers out there a

459
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:05.079
<v Speaker 4>louted in life, the actual Verizon towers.

460
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, because I feel like I used to hear like

461
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it used to be one of the

462
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:11.599
<v Speaker 2>other if somebody had if you were going to talk

463
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:13.359
<v Speaker 2>to somebody and ask them what their service provider was.

464
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:14.480
<v Speaker 2>It was a good chance it was going to be

465
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:17.000
<v Speaker 2>one of those two and then maybe occasionally a T Mobile.

466
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:18.319
<v Speaker 2>But I feel like I don't know. I feel like

467
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:20.119
<v Speaker 2>I haven't heard anybody talk about Verizon in a long time.

468
00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Sprints no more, right, they don't exist. Yeah, are part

469
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:25.920
<v Speaker 2>of T Mobile, Like they're like merged with T Mobile. Yeah,

470
00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:30.079
<v Speaker 2>if you end up without service at all, that make

471
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:32.240
<v Speaker 2>that mean that'll be I mean, I remember when it

472
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:35.039
<v Speaker 2>happened to AT and T last year or something, but

473
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:37.359
<v Speaker 2>it was it was for a good chunk of a day.

474
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Anybody that had AT and T like nothing worked, Like

475
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:42.799
<v Speaker 2>you could get on Wi Fi, but you couldn't use

476
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.119
<v Speaker 2>your phone if you did not have Wi Fi.

477
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:46.799
<v Speaker 5>I remember that it was.

478
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:51.319
<v Speaker 2>It was kind of awesome in a way because I

479
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:54.000
<v Speaker 2>was out without Wi Fi. Right if I'm driving, I

480
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.720
<v Speaker 2>don't went Wi Fi, And it was a little scary.

481
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:58.000
<v Speaker 2>But it also it kind of felt like I was

482
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:00.039
<v Speaker 2>a bad ass because you know what, like nobody can no,

483
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:01.839
<v Speaker 2>but he can reach me right now even if they

484
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:03.759
<v Speaker 2>wanted to, like they could not that people want to

485
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:06.119
<v Speaker 2>reach me, but you know, but it's also kind of scary,

486
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:08.319
<v Speaker 2>and it's a reminder that we yes, we were probably

487
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:11.920
<v Speaker 2>on our phones way too much. I know I am

488
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.480
<v Speaker 2>one of those people that probably needs to reduce screen

489
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.480
<v Speaker 2>time in a major way. But also, you know, they

490
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.279
<v Speaker 2>are pretty damn convenient. We can do just about anything

491
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:25.640
<v Speaker 2>with our phones, and whenever that's just taken away, it's

492
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:28.680
<v Speaker 2>it's a pretty helpless feeling. I would imagine.

493
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:30.319
<v Speaker 4>There's something good about it, just because, like you said,

494
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:32.200
<v Speaker 4>you know that no one can reach you, no one

495
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.400
<v Speaker 4>can bother you, not anyone's You just kind of know

496
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:36.400
<v Speaker 4>you're free. I sometimes do that when I head to

497
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:37.960
<v Speaker 4>the casino. I'll just leave the phone in the car.

498
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:41.519
<v Speaker 4>No no one can can can call, no one can text.

499
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:44.039
<v Speaker 4>At least it's out of my sight, out of my mind.

500
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:46.599
<v Speaker 4>But even in like an outage like that, there's something

501
00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:49.440
<v Speaker 4>good where like I don't have to worry about this

502
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:51.279
<v Speaker 4>because I know that there's nothing I can do. So

503
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:53.799
<v Speaker 4>you're kind of free, You're not you're unbothered.

504
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:57.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think whenever I've had that, like we've my

505
00:22:57.839 --> 00:22:59.359
<v Speaker 2>wife and I a couple of years ago, actually has

506
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:01.599
<v Speaker 2>been longer than that. We went to Fort Lauderdale for

507
00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:03.240
<v Speaker 2>just us two to go just us two on a trip,

508
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:06.039
<v Speaker 2>and I remember I'd left my phone in the room,

509
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:09.759
<v Speaker 2>and I'm thinking, Okay, well, I'm gonna have to go

510
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:11.920
<v Speaker 2>back at some point. But then I was like, you

511
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.160
<v Speaker 2>know what, No, like, let's just have a day. And

512
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:15.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't really know how long we were gone. I

513
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:17.640
<v Speaker 2>feel like we were going a good chunk of the

514
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:20.839
<v Speaker 2>day just out doing tourist stuff and hanging out in

515
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:23.680
<v Speaker 2>bars and having having a day. And I felt like

516
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:26.839
<v Speaker 2>I felt withdraws early on, like what am I gonna

517
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:27.880
<v Speaker 2>do it on my phone or on my phone? But

518
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:29.960
<v Speaker 2>then once, once, once you hit the moment of like

519
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.480
<v Speaker 2>just accepting it, it's kind of an awesome feeling to

520
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:35.559
<v Speaker 2>be disconnected. I imagine when you get to the casino

521
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:37.559
<v Speaker 2>and the phones in the car, you know, and you're

522
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:39.359
<v Speaker 2>walking around, you're probably feeling, man, I just want to

523
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:41.119
<v Speaker 2>get my phone out. It's it's habit, right, And then

524
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:42.880
<v Speaker 2>you realize, nope, I don't have it. And then once

525
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:45.640
<v Speaker 2>you've once you've kind of removed yourself from those withdraws,

526
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:47.559
<v Speaker 2>It's it's kind of awesome, but in the end, it's

527
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:49.119
<v Speaker 2>also kind of set because it's a reminder of how

528
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:53.759
<v Speaker 2>dependent we are. On those things that you know are useful, right,

529
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:55.519
<v Speaker 2>and you can do a lot with them.

530
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:57.440
<v Speaker 4>But you know, I'm sure the casino likes it too,

531
00:23:57.480 --> 00:23:59.279
<v Speaker 4>because I can't see what time it is there.

532
00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:04.279
<v Speaker 2>There's no way that we as a society have not

533
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:08.319
<v Speaker 2>really taken steps back when it comes to communicating with people,

534
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:11.559
<v Speaker 2>because now you really don't have to communicate with anybody

535
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:15.039
<v Speaker 2>face to face in most instances, you know what I mean. Like, heck,

536
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:19.000
<v Speaker 2>even even phone calls. Like kids don't talk on the

537
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:19.880
<v Speaker 2>phone anymore, do they.

538
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:24.279
<v Speaker 4>I don't think so kids faced with the corded phones,

539
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:26.960
<v Speaker 4>and I think you only call someone nowadays that there's

540
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:28.200
<v Speaker 4>actually an emergency.

541
00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:29.839
<v Speaker 5>I don't like being called unless it's.

542
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:32.039
<v Speaker 2>All I don't either, And I've kind of become that guy,

543
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:36.079
<v Speaker 2>like I shouldn't say this because it's my it's my family.

544
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:38.200
<v Speaker 2>It's one thing. But like if I get a phone

545
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:41.519
<v Speaker 2>call from somebody who I know, this could have easily

546
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:42.160
<v Speaker 2>been a text.

547
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:42.559
<v Speaker 5>Yep.

548
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:45.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm not rude. I'm just kind of like, you know,

549
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I kind of resent them now. That's awful,

550
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:50.599
<v Speaker 2>because again it's just you know, that's a terrible thing

551
00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:50.880
<v Speaker 2>to say.

552
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:52.720
<v Speaker 4>But I'm just being honest, I'm right there with you now.

553
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:54.319
<v Speaker 4>I know, I know you're a little bit older than me,

554
00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:57.240
<v Speaker 4>but you're not old. So, like, were you around with

555
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:00.279
<v Speaker 4>like pagers? What was like the pager era? Like cause,

556
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.799
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it seems like it seems like the first

557
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:04.839
<v Speaker 4>thing to send text messages, But I didn't know that

558
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:07.440
<v Speaker 4>you can like type on a pager, hey how are

559
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:09.640
<v Speaker 4>you or something like that, like can you page back?

560
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:11.480
<v Speaker 5>Can you text back? What were pagers?

561
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:13.559
<v Speaker 2>I never had a pager, and I could be wrong,

562
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:19.440
<v Speaker 2>but like pagers, pagers were kind of useless for someone

563
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:23.880
<v Speaker 2>like a teenager, Like pagers were really for work. Like again,

564
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:26.079
<v Speaker 2>this is before we had any ability to connect to

565
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:28.319
<v Speaker 2>communicate with each other like we do now, to where

566
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:31.440
<v Speaker 2>your way of telling somebody, hey, find a payphone, find

567
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:33.359
<v Speaker 2>a landline, give me a call was a pager. Now,

568
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:35.400
<v Speaker 2>so I didn't really know a whole lot about pagers,

569
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:38.160
<v Speaker 2>And I think it wasn't as if everybody had to

570
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:40.039
<v Speaker 2>have one. It was really like, it wasn't that cool

571
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:42.039
<v Speaker 2>of a device to where oh I got to get

572
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:43.359
<v Speaker 2>one of those. It was like, yeah, you'll get one

573
00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:45.519
<v Speaker 2>if you need one, you know what I mean. But

574
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.880
<v Speaker 2>and everybody says this about their generation, So I'll say

575
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.079
<v Speaker 2>it about mine. I grew up with the best of

576
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:53.960
<v Speaker 2>both worlds. When I was really really young. You know,

577
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:56.960
<v Speaker 2>we had Nintendo, but we didn't have the Internet. We

578
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:00.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't have you know, technical tech, you know, from a

579
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:05.319
<v Speaker 2>technological standpoint, like it was you know, VHS, and we

580
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:07.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't have If you wanted to go watch a new

581
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:09.599
<v Speaker 2>movie or something, you had to wait for it to

582
00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:11.759
<v Speaker 2>come on TV, or you had to like have your

583
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:14.160
<v Speaker 2>mom take you to video of Alder Blockbusters. So we

584
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:16.680
<v Speaker 2>did a lot of the playing outside, right, We were outside,

585
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:20.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, having fun going, you know, I mean I

586
00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:23.400
<v Speaker 2>would leave my house, I don't know, in a summer

587
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:28.240
<v Speaker 2>day in between you know, maybe fourth fifth grade, fifth

588
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:30.599
<v Speaker 2>sixth grade, Like I would just leave and I would

589
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:32.279
<v Speaker 2>hit up four or five of my friends that live

590
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:33.880
<v Speaker 2>near me, and we would just be gone all day

591
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:35.759
<v Speaker 2>doing what kids do, just playing, you know what I mean.

592
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:38.720
<v Speaker 2>And now maybe that still happens, but I got that,

593
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:42.480
<v Speaker 2>and then you know, technology took a big step forward.

594
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:44.119
<v Speaker 2>So like the Internet became a thing when I was

595
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:48.039
<v Speaker 2>a young kid. Cell phones, you know, when you got

596
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:51.000
<v Speaker 2>like the Nokia brick phone that had snake on it.

597
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:52.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, what I'm talking about.

598
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Those became a thing like when I was in probably

599
00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:59.160
<v Speaker 2>sixth seventh grade, so a lot of kids didn't have them.

600
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:01.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean I was and I got my first cell

601
00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:05.160
<v Speaker 2>phone when I was I think a sophomore. And it

602
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:07.240
<v Speaker 2>was around that time that like it wasn't school. It

603
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:10.839
<v Speaker 2>wasn't that uncommon for somebody that age to have a phone.

604
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:13.960
<v Speaker 2>They weren't smartphones or anything like that, but like we

605
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:17.279
<v Speaker 2>could communicate that way. But texting really wasn't much of

606
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:18.920
<v Speaker 2>a thing. Yeah, so you still had to talk on

607
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.279
<v Speaker 2>the phone. So you know, I really did enjoy the

608
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:24.839
<v Speaker 2>AOL Instant Messenger days because we had that. That's how

609
00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:27.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of us communicated. We weren't in school because

610
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:28.960
<v Speaker 2>we didn't have cell phones, right, we could just talk

611
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:33.319
<v Speaker 2>on AIM. And you know, that's how in fact, my

612
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:35.680
<v Speaker 2>wife that I'm with now, I mean we've been married

613
00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:39.079
<v Speaker 2>for a long time, for thirteen years, we've been together

614
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:42.559
<v Speaker 2>for you know, roughly twenty years. But like the first

615
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:45.480
<v Speaker 2>shot I took, if you will, Austin was talking to

616
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:48.359
<v Speaker 2>her on AOL instead messenger, you know. You know, so

617
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:50.720
<v Speaker 2>we did have some we had some tech, you know,

618
00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:55.000
<v Speaker 2>some technology we could use to our advantage and nowadays though,

619
00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:57.359
<v Speaker 2>like I mean, it's just texting, it's snapchat, it's all

620
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:00.440
<v Speaker 2>that stuff. So I say this all the time, like,

621
00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:04.359
<v Speaker 2>no joke the older generation, And I always say this

622
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:07.000
<v Speaker 2>to Tony and Dwight because they're the older generation, not

623
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:09.440
<v Speaker 2>to say that they're elderly, but like, clearly they grew

624
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:12.039
<v Speaker 2>up in a different time. They were going to bars

625
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:14.079
<v Speaker 2>trying to meet women, like a lot of dudes. Do

626
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:16.599
<v Speaker 2>you know when they were doing it at their young age,

627
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:18.279
<v Speaker 2>it was a different world than when people like my

628
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:21.079
<v Speaker 2>age were doing it at that time, but that era,

629
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:25.640
<v Speaker 2>they got laid a lot more. Yeah, I meant, no,

630
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:28.079
<v Speaker 2>I know, like there's studies that show that, like, you know,

631
00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:30.640
<v Speaker 2>meeting women and hooking up with them happening at a

632
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.839
<v Speaker 2>lot higher rate. Back then, when you actually had to

633
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:36.359
<v Speaker 2>communicate directly, you had to walk up to a woman

634
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:38.799
<v Speaker 2>at a bar and start a conversation. You couldn't get

635
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:41.599
<v Speaker 2>her her snap you couldn't get her insta. You had

636
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:44.720
<v Speaker 2>to like actually, you know, get out and you know,

637
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:48.480
<v Speaker 2>have some bravery about it, and it worked. Now we've

638
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:51.960
<v Speaker 2>got all these tools from a technological standpoint, there's apps

639
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.519
<v Speaker 2>you can be into some random really obscure, kinky thing.

640
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:57.799
<v Speaker 2>They probably got a website specifically for it where you

641
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.359
<v Speaker 2>can meet other people that are into this, where they're

642
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:03.000
<v Speaker 2>into the same thing. So like, despite all of the

643
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:07.440
<v Speaker 2>resources currently that can be utilized by the younger generation,

644
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:11.359
<v Speaker 2>it's not happening as much. And I think one that's surprising,

645
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:13.680
<v Speaker 2>but also it makes me want to tip the cap

646
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:16.839
<v Speaker 2>to the ogs from that other era that like they

647
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:18.599
<v Speaker 2>had to get it out the mud, as they say,

648
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:21.079
<v Speaker 2>and they did it and they actually made it work,

649
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:26.480
<v Speaker 2>so you know, yeah, I mean this all started with

650
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:29.960
<v Speaker 2>us talking about like cell phone service. But cell phones

651
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:34.839
<v Speaker 2>have changed our lives, undoubtedly for the good because of

652
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:37.880
<v Speaker 2>the convenience that we have. But sometimes when I say that,

653
00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:40.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I'm telling the truth or not,

654
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:43.559
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, Because like we did live

655
00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:49.039
<v Speaker 2>as a society with you know, out any we have problems,

656
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.240
<v Speaker 2>but like now, if we didn't have cell phones to communicate,

657
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.359
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it would be it would be something

658
00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:57.519
<v Speaker 2>that would be the biggest issue on the planet. And

659
00:29:57.559 --> 00:29:59.319
<v Speaker 2>it would be because we now are accustomed to it,

660
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:01.480
<v Speaker 2>and if you just don't have it like changes everything.

661
00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:04.839
<v Speaker 2>It's a new world. But let's remember that for many, many,

662
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:09.599
<v Speaker 2>you know generations as a society, we didn't have them

663
00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:12.240
<v Speaker 2>in life was good, you know what I mean. Yeah,

664
00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:13.119
<v Speaker 2>it's just I don't know.

665
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:15.319
<v Speaker 4>And now you have the cell phones that literally are

666
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.799
<v Speaker 4>their own like hot spots and blutes and services and heck,

667
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:20.680
<v Speaker 4>even back in minday, I feel like I had like

668
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:22.359
<v Speaker 4>some of the best of both worlds because I had

669
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:24.799
<v Speaker 4>I had the payphone or the pays you go phones

670
00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:27.200
<v Speaker 4>where you had to like, yeah, precate on it, like

671
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:29.759
<v Speaker 4>and that was my allowance. If I was good that week,

672
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:32.000
<v Speaker 4>I got twenty five minutes on it. And sometimes what

673
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:33.519
<v Speaker 4>if you're a part of the plan, you got like

674
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:36.200
<v Speaker 4>free weekend texts and stuff like that, and like it

675
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:39.559
<v Speaker 4>ran off a data well I couldn't imagine. Now you

676
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:41.519
<v Speaker 4>don't even use data when you use the Wi Fi,

677
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:43.359
<v Speaker 4>so that would have been a way. It's just crazy

678
00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:45.759
<v Speaker 4>how how those things have changed.

679
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:49.759
<v Speaker 2>And every every plan I feel like, is unlimited data.

680
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:52.279
<v Speaker 2>Now every plan is like if you if you're still

681
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:55.200
<v Speaker 2>like tracking your data, I feel like you've got a

682
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:57.880
<v Speaker 2>really old plan. I could be wrong, yeah, but I

683
00:30:57.880 --> 00:31:00.079
<v Speaker 2>think even if you are somebody that's on like a

684
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:02.720
<v Speaker 2>is boost mobile, like pay as.

685
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:04.440
<v Speaker 5>You go, Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's like, but.

686
00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:08.319
<v Speaker 2>There's there's there's carriers out there that aren't technically like a, hey,

687
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:10.680
<v Speaker 2>you got to go buy a phone from this place

688
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:13.039
<v Speaker 2>and use it that way. But like you know, there's

689
00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:15.920
<v Speaker 2>there's actually a variety of different providers out there that

690
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:18.440
<v Speaker 2>that do rival the big ones like Verizon and AT

691
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:20.079
<v Speaker 2>and T. But I think people just stick with what

692
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:22.519
<v Speaker 2>they're used to and cricket cricket still yeah, cricket. So

693
00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:26.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, like I think even those which again you know,

694
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:28.400
<v Speaker 2>they're smaller compared to the other big brands, the ones

695
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I just mentioned, but yet I still feel like the

696
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:32.400
<v Speaker 2>majority of their plans that you get are going to

697
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:34.599
<v Speaker 2>be free or not free, but unlimited data if you

698
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:35.680
<v Speaker 2>get a certain package.

699
00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:38.079
<v Speaker 4>So I even remember when, like, like you said, Sprint

700
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:39.880
<v Speaker 4>was a thing. One of their coolest things when they

701
00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:42.440
<v Speaker 4>first came out was like the like the walkie talkie feature.

702
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:43.799
<v Speaker 4>If you had like a Sprint phone, you can like

703
00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:46.079
<v Speaker 4>walk e to another person, which was I always saw

704
00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:46.839
<v Speaker 4>that really cool.

705
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:49.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

706
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:50.599
<v Speaker 2>And then there was an wasn't there a phone called

707
00:31:50.599 --> 00:31:52.920
<v Speaker 2>like a not a talkbacker, no, a sidekick?

708
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:55.759
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I remember the side the one phone I

709
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:58.119
<v Speaker 4>never had that, and the Raiser I thought were the

710
00:31:58.119 --> 00:31:59.960
<v Speaker 4>coolest freaking things growing up, and.

711
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:03.079
<v Speaker 2>On the side got on the Sidekick was cool in theory,

712
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:05.839
<v Speaker 2>although it wouldn't it wouldn't be convenient the way we

713
00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:09.319
<v Speaker 2>use today's phones. But the Razor was so overrated. I

714
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:11.519
<v Speaker 2>mean it was. It was sleek looking, but like it,

715
00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:15.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean cool looking it was. It was essentially as

716
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:17.960
<v Speaker 2>useful as the Nokia brick. It just you could you

717
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:18.559
<v Speaker 2>could flip it.

718
00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:20.920
<v Speaker 4>I think those two were like the original ones that

719
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:23.839
<v Speaker 4>you can a get Internet on and like actually watch

720
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:25.720
<v Speaker 4>like because that's when like YouTube came out and you

721
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:28.039
<v Speaker 4>could probably go in there and like watch a YouTube video.

722
00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:30.599
<v Speaker 4>Because I remember all my friends that had a Razor

723
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:32.440
<v Speaker 4>was able to watch videos on it, and I was

724
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:35.079
<v Speaker 4>just send a silly little meme stuff on YouTube, so.

725
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:36.680
<v Speaker 5>Pull this up on your phone.

726
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:38.599
<v Speaker 4>And I thought that was like the coolest thing ever.

727
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:43.079
<v Speaker 2>So whenever I was I guess like nineteen, that was

728
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:44.880
<v Speaker 2>when I had my first smartphone, a phone that could

729
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:49.079
<v Speaker 2>connect to the Internet, and it was a Samsung Blackjack,

730
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.279
<v Speaker 2>and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world.

731
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:54.279
<v Speaker 2>And now I'm looking at it and it looks like

732
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:57.759
<v Speaker 2>something from the eighteen hundreds, just visually, and I got

733
00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:00.880
<v Speaker 2>an iPhone as my next phone, and that's what I've had.

734
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:02.039
<v Speaker 2>That's what I've had ever since.

735
00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:04.519
<v Speaker 4>I would to be mad at uh, because when smartphones

736
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:06.880
<v Speaker 4>first came out, when it was just like the screen

737
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:09.079
<v Speaker 4>some of them had that kind of got the idea

738
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:10.640
<v Speaker 4>from the Sidekick where you could flip it up and

739
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:12.559
<v Speaker 4>it still had the keyboard. I would to be mad

740
00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:15.279
<v Speaker 4>at having a phone like that. Oh yeah, I don't

741
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:16.960
<v Speaker 4>mind using that, but I think it's cool to have

742
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:18.720
<v Speaker 4>the front screen and then you could just flip it

743
00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:20.720
<v Speaker 4>open and then natch your keyboard.

744
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:23.240
<v Speaker 2>And actual keyboard physically where like you know, you got

745
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:25.599
<v Speaker 2>to like each it's not digital, meaning like you actually

746
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:27.160
<v Speaker 2>have to push the button on your phone. That's what

747
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:28.759
<v Speaker 2>the Blackjack was, and I got used to that. I

748
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:30.200
<v Speaker 2>thought when I got an iPhone, I would never get

749
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:33.000
<v Speaker 2>used to typing something and not feeling that I've punched

750
00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:35.160
<v Speaker 2>down a button. And yeah, sure enough, you know, I got.

751
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:35.519
<v Speaker 1>Used to it.

752
00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:36.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get to our last break. We'll go

753
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.559
<v Speaker 2>back on the other side. Finished strong good text that

754
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:41.640
<v Speaker 2>comes in here that I knew was coming. That's not

755
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:43.480
<v Speaker 2>really a good text. I mean it's I mean, it's fine,

756
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:47.440
<v Speaker 2>but like I knew it was coming, somebody asking what

757
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:49.559
<v Speaker 2>I think the spread would be? A flew Ofville Kentucky

758
00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:55.440
<v Speaker 2>play today, which I'm not going there. I mean, I'm

759
00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:57.039
<v Speaker 2>sure you could probably look, and there may be an

760
00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:00.920
<v Speaker 2>early one right now, but I want to see Louisville

761
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:03.240
<v Speaker 2>play better and cleaner football than they've done the last

762
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:05.279
<v Speaker 2>two weeks before I start thinking about that game, especially no,

763
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:08.280
<v Speaker 2>when Kentucky just beat Ole Miss at Old Miss. All right,

764
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:10.199
<v Speaker 2>don't go anywhere. One more segment left here on a Monday,

765
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:12.440
<v Speaker 2>It's Coffee and Company. Feel abou Thornton's on Sports Talk

766
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:13.400
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety.

767
00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:17.119
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

768
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

769
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:21.599
<v Speaker 2>Man, it would have been so nice to be carrying

770
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:24.159
<v Speaker 2>some momentum into this week. It's a big week. You've

771
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:27.760
<v Speaker 2>got Louisville live on Friday night, and then then you

772
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:31.679
<v Speaker 2>got a nooner against SMU, which I don't nobody likes

773
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:34.880
<v Speaker 2>noon games. But if you already had a Notre Dame

774
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:37.760
<v Speaker 2>victory and you had a chance to beat a team

775
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:39.280
<v Speaker 2>that right now, I mean, I don't know where they

776
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:41.519
<v Speaker 2>are as far as receiving votes if they're even receiving any,

777
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:43.079
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not here to say that I think SMU

778
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:46.000
<v Speaker 2>is like a world beater, but there's more value there

779
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:48.480
<v Speaker 2>in a win than I would have thought after watching

780
00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:52.599
<v Speaker 2>them in their opener against Nevada, a game they should

781
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:55.800
<v Speaker 2>have lost. But since then they've made a quarterback change

782
00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:59.119
<v Speaker 2>and they're playing good football. They're lost to BYU. At

783
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:03.039
<v Speaker 2>the time, especially seeing you know, BYU at that point

784
00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:04.880
<v Speaker 2>not getting a lot of love, it looked as if

785
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:09.800
<v Speaker 2>maybe this SMU team was frauds overrated. And they've only

786
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:11.760
<v Speaker 2>lost one game at this point, and that's to BYU,

787
00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:16.119
<v Speaker 2>who's been killing it. They beat TCU by you know,

788
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:20.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty four points, and then demolished Florida State, which you

789
00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:24.079
<v Speaker 2>really can't make up how bad things have gone for

790
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Florida State this season considering the circumstances, and nobody feels

791
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:32.960
<v Speaker 2>sorry for him, including me. But like, the two teams

792
00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:36.159
<v Speaker 2>that beat you in the SEC in the ACC to

793
00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:38.960
<v Speaker 2>start the year are two teams that, like, are the

794
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:41.960
<v Speaker 2>best examples you can use or that you tried to

795
00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:45.400
<v Speaker 2>use when you wanted everybody to realize that everybody in

796
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:47.119
<v Speaker 2>the league is beneath you. You should be let out

797
00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:50.239
<v Speaker 2>because we're all peasants and you are just, you know,

798
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:54.760
<v Speaker 2>superior when it comes to brand and just success. And

799
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:57.039
<v Speaker 2>those two teams beat you, Boston College and Georgia Tech,

800
00:35:57.079 --> 00:35:59.480
<v Speaker 2>and then a team that you were opposed to joining

801
00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:02.360
<v Speaker 2>the league. And when these additions were made, that really

802
00:36:03.159 --> 00:36:07.079
<v Speaker 2>sped up the process for Florida State to you know,

803
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:08.840
<v Speaker 2>go the legal route to try to get the hell

804
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:11.280
<v Speaker 2>out of the ACC by any means. And then that

805
00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:16.039
<v Speaker 2>team they killed you, I mean forty two to sixteen,

806
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:19.079
<v Speaker 2>and it could have been worse. So you love to

807
00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:22.280
<v Speaker 2>see it, you really do. All right, We're out of time,

808
00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I believe, so thank you all for joining us. Mondays

809
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:28.840
<v Speaker 2>go by way too quick, and we'll be back at

810
00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:31.679
<v Speaker 2>it tomorrow, and hopefully at that point, you know, it's

811
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:33.400
<v Speaker 2>still gonna suck, like this will leave a bad taste

812
00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:34.800
<v Speaker 2>in my mouth for a while as far as just

813
00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:38.760
<v Speaker 2>everything that every factor from the South Bend trip, But

814
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:43.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, hopefully by tomorrow it won't be as evident

815
00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:45.480
<v Speaker 2>that I'm still annoyed, but I know I'm not alone.

816
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:47.800
<v Speaker 2>All right, have a good night, everybody, talk to you

817
