WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.679 It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on 2 00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:16.640 Sports Talk seven nine day. Now, here's Nick coffee. 3 00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:19.679 All right, So just to keep you guys updated. 4 00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:25.239 I'm sure you usually go elsewhere to find updates like this, 5 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:26.320 but you know why not. 6 00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:28.120 It's a pretty big deal. 7 00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:30.879 We had a large explosion here in Louisville earlier today, 8 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.600 right as the show started. About two hours ago, there 9 00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:39.280 was a big explosion at the Gavaden Since Color Company 10 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.520 that's on Pain Street near the Clifton area Frankfort Avenue. 11 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.200 And what we know now is that at least eleven 12 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.640 have been hospitalized, but there's been no fatalities. So Mayor 13 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.600 Greenberg around four point thirty had a briefing with the 14 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.320 media and said that they're going to have another update 15 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:58.240 later tonight. But he did say that things were apparently 16 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.399 going on as normal at this factory before the explosion happened. 17 00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.480 It obviously, you know, very dangerous, very scary situation. Great 18 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.319 to know that there have been no fatalities, and uh, 19 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.319 just looking at the the the aftermath, Uh, there's now 20 00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:16.200 an there's now a I guess a picture from chopper 21 00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.799 coverage flying over it that I'm looking at here actually 22 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.879 at w HS eleven, and I mean it's it's pretty 23 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.719 it's pretty insane that there's nobody that has been that 24 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:31.959 that has that has died. I mean almost unbelievable. So, uh, 25 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.319 looks like right now there, let me see, let me 26 00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:37.000 stible check here. 27 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:37.760 There was a little bit. 28 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.200 Yeah, so it says, see, this is from the Louisville 29 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.280 Metro Emergency Services that, uh, the shelter in place for 30 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.280 the incident is being lifted. The evac order for the 31 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.480 two surrounding blocks is still in place. So I suppose 32 00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.000 the shelter in place for the one mile radius has 33 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:52.560 been lifted. But if you are within a couple of 34 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.959 blocks of where that took place, uh, And I'm sure if. 35 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.359 You are in that area, you know that you're in that. 36 00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.920 Area, you know if it applies to you that there's 37 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.000 ill the evacuation order. So they don't know what caused it. Again, 38 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.719 sounds like they were just going about their workday like 39 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:11.039 they typically do, and then a big boom, big loud explosion. 40 00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.879 So I'm glad to know that that first responders were 41 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.919 there as quick as possible. And right now it sounds like, 42 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:22.280 you know, nobody has died from this, which I got 43 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:26.560 to get a little more smooth delivering and discussing news 44 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.080 like this because I'm trying to be very delicate and 45 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.199 not you know, like you know. But yeah, scary situation 46 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.919 and hopefully and in the end everybody ends up being okay. 47 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.439 The girlfriend told me she was not in that area, 48 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.439 but she was at the dog Park bar near our 49 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:44.960 near our house, PG and Jay's. It's over there on 50 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.159 the lower end of Backstra Avenue, kind of not far 51 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.400 from it, and she was outside and she said she 52 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.159 heard and felt something. 53 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:52.719 I believe it. 54 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.360 Yeah, so that's pretty crazy to know. 55 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.199 And that's still like I'm not too good at like 56 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.240 calculating miles how far away that is, but it can't 57 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.840 be more than four or five miles from where we're at, 58 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:04.560 so probably imagine. 59 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.879 Failing shorter than that, to be honest, Well, because it's 60 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.039 tough to know when you're downtown, you know, it's not 61 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.039 like you just hop on the interstate. Yeah, I mean, 62 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:14.000 I'll put in something GPS that I know is, you know, 63 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.319 Phoenix Hill area or something, and I know that it's 64 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.680 like a mile and a half away, but it might 65 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:21.759 take me, you know, ten minutes to get there. But 66 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:23.759 I'm gonna sit and if you guys haven't seen it, 67 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.759 I'll tweet it out. Uh it you know not I'll 68 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:31.680 credit where it's from. It's from WHAS eleven, but it's 69 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.759 within the article. But I just send it to you 70 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.159 in your DMS. The picture here, I mean, it's it's 71 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.840 pretty remarkable to see this and know that, you know, 72 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.400 it sounds like I don't want to say everybody's gonna 73 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:46.719 be okay, I don't know that, but to hear that 74 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.240 as of now they know that everybody's been accounting for 75 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.439 and there are no fatalities, that's that's pretty crazy. 76 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:54.960 Did you get to pick checking in? 77 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:55.479 Look at that? 78 00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.439 I mean, that's that's big time, big time scary. And 79 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.360 you can tell where, you know, I'm not super familiar 80 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.400 with where this is. I know the whereabouts, but I 81 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.000 can't pinpoint, you know, exactly where that is, my good 82 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.360 but you can see right behind I mean, it's backs 83 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.120 right up to homes where people live and probably were 84 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.800 at home. So yeah, I mean, I gotta be honest 85 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:18.199 with you, I don't really know what I was expecting 86 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.120 as far as the visual, but that is I mean, 87 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:21.759 that's crazy. 88 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:23.720 Yep. Looks like an explosion happened there. 89 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.639 Yeah, yikes. All right, let's let's get back to the 90 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:32.160 party here and again here. I can't I'm just I'm 91 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.040 I'm spinning my wheels here, trying not to be insensitive, 92 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.240 but I can't help but saying things like I'm acting 93 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:38.759 like this doesn't matter. I don't want to, you know, 94 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:41.560 I need like that thing and Men in Black where 95 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.319 you just like when you flash that thing and forget her. Yeah, 96 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:46.680 like the way I can just get back to, you know, 97 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.000 the typical nonsense that you get on this show, because 98 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.199 I'm trying to make that transition, but I'm trying to 99 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.920 do it delicately and with respect to what's going on. 100 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.519 So anyways, it is Coffee and Company, the five o'clock 101 00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.480 hour here on a Tuesday afternoon. Appreciate you hanging with us, 102 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.680 Nick Cough that is me, Austin Montgomery, alongside our final 103 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:05.639 hour here before we wrap it up, and certainly a 104 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:07.319 lot to get into if you are just now joining us. 105 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:08.759 Man, you missed out. 106 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.360 I mean, I can't tell you exactly what you missed 107 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.319 out on, but you missed out on some fun. We 108 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.720 did talk about how the Louisville football season. You know, 109 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.240 for me, it just kind of feels like it never 110 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.680 really got rolling. And I would say the biggest factor 111 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.439 in that is the fact that they had some build 112 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.079 up with some of these games and then they fell short. 113 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.600 And when they did finally break through and beat a 114 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.000 good team that clearly had a lot of value in 115 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.680 that win, it was on the road. Didn't mean it 116 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.120 wasn't awesome, But then you have a month between home games, 117 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.879 which is not usual. The home game schedule itself wasn't 118 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.759 very good. So I just think it's a variety of 119 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.000 things that's kind of led to you know, and I 120 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.439 know I'm not alone and maybe others wouldn't describe it 121 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:50.279 the way that I am, but it just kind of 122 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.000 feels flat and that has nothing to do I mean, 123 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.160 I'm not saying that because I'm being critical of the team. 124 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.480 I mean, obviously they you know, wish they would have 125 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.399 won some of those games they lost early, but they're 126 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.199 going to be probably in the top twenty to and 127 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.519 the college football playoff rankings, and you know that will 128 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.920 mean that since Jeff Brohm's been here, every time the 129 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.879 college football playoff rankings have been live Louisville has been 130 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.120 ranked and that's that's that's where you want to be. Obviously, 131 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.800 you'd like to be ranked higher. You'd like to be 132 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.800 potentially thinking you could make the playoff, but that's that's 133 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.639 really out of the picture now and that's a bummer. 134 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.199 But again, I still think there there's a scenario where 135 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:26.480 they finish out with with you know, winning every game 136 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.879 left in the regular season, winning your bowl game. And 137 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.360 if that's the case in you're ten and three, I mean, 138 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.399 I think you'd wrap up the first two years of 139 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:35.040 the Bram era of feeling like you're in a really 140 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:35.720 really good spot. 141 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:37.079 All right. 142 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:38.360 If you guys want to join us on the show, 143 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.240 you can five O two five seven one seventy nine 144 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:41.839 hundred is the number to give us a call. You 145 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.079 can text in on the ln N Federal Credit Union 146 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.439 text line five oh two six five three zero seven ninety. 147 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.720 Obviously a lot of talk about basketball as well. 148 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.519 We did talk with Cel Brown kind of talking about 149 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.759 what happened on Saturday against Tennessee for Louisville, and I 150 00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:58.360 do want to kind of I want to dive back 151 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.560 into that coming up here shortly, because you know, cl 152 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.920 you know, I think he said what a lot of 153 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.399 folks were seeing on Saturday, that this team doesn't really 154 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.120 appear to have a guy that is okay, let's let 155 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.000 this guy create something. Let's let him get us into something. 156 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.759 Rather that's pick and roll action, maybe that's you know, running, 157 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.079 running the running the team and finding a potential mismatch. 158 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:27.920 Maybe it's just some motion sets. But I'm not ready 159 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.759 to say they don't have it. I'm more so ready 160 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:33.480 to say that we just don't have a clue who 161 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.240 it is, because what happened on Saturday is you saw 162 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.759 these guys for the first time realize okay. So, and 163 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.079 I'm sure they knew that there'd be teams out there 164 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.079 that could stop them from doing what they wanted to do. 165 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:47.399 They just hadn't experienced it yet. I mean, they hadn't 166 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.879 played a game within what forty points, seemingly because of 167 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:53.319 the exhibitions and even moorehead State, so it wasn't possible 168 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.319 for them to have, you know, any experience on Saturday 169 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:58.319 to kind of know what to revert to. And now 170 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.240 they were exposed in a major by a really good team. 171 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.000 And I think there's going to be many teams that 172 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:06.240 can't really do to you what Tennessee did. But still 173 00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:08.040 there'll be teams that can take you out of what 174 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:09.439 you want to do, and you got to have a 175 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.959 different plan. And what that plan is, I'm not sure, 176 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.680 but I'm I'm sure Pat Kelsey's working on figuring that out, 177 00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:16.680 because you know, I don't. I think there are some 178 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.199 guys that can maybe not just you know, score on anybody, 179 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.800 it will, but there are some things you can do 180 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.800 with the personnel that you have to where when you're 181 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.480 in a situation like you saw yourself in on Saturday, 182 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.879 where Tennessee was damn near flawless at stopping you defensively 183 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:38.720 from getting rhythmic threes, getting out quick before the defense 184 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:41.360 gets back to find somebody spotting up for a good look. 185 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.440 I mean, they didn't get many of those looks, and 186 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.159 you know it resulted and you lose about twenty two points. 187 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:48.639 But we'll get back into that coming up here a 188 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:50.840 little bit later. On Also tonight, Big Night in the 189 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.360 Champions Classic, the annual event that really is I think 190 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.440 the first night of the college basketball season where you 191 00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.360 have this many eyeballs on you. I mean, there's already 192 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:00.679 been some really good game to be honest with you. 193 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:05.360 I mean that that Ykon, not Yukon Kansas North Carolina game. 194 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:10.559 I mean even even Gonzaga and Baylor. Last week on 195 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.159 Saturday Night you had Baylor in Arkansas. So you've had 196 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:15.919 some pretty good games early on. But man, I'm sure 197 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.639 a lot of people aren't paying any attention. You know, 198 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.159 I get it. But tonight you'll have a lot of 199 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.399 people paying attention, even if it's not for the games themselves, 200 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:25.360 They're going to have it on because they're going to 201 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:27.639 want to hear about the update to the college football 202 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:31.759 playoff rankings. So I asked the question to cl what 203 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:38.200 result would surprise you the most, if any, because we 204 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.679 now are just used to how this works. You get 205 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.080 these four big brands that more often than not are 206 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.360 always going to have high expectations every single season, and 207 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.480 we now know that a loss here doesn't mean that 208 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.039 that team or both teams that lose can end up 209 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:58.679 winning the national championship. So Kentucky winning I think it's 210 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:00.919 a real possibility. I don't if it's going to happen, 211 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.679 but I think it's a real possibility because Duke, they've 212 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:06.600 never I mean, these are young guys that you know, 213 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:08.960 I'm sure they've played really good players before. I mean, 214 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.240 Duke does have some guys coming back that has experienced. 215 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.720 But clearly, if Duke's an elite team this year, it's 216 00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:18.600 going to be because of Cooper Flag. So I have 217 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.080 no clue what to expect, But that doesn't really take 218 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:24.399 away my excitement to watch and see how things see 219 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:27.799 how things play out. But look, if you're Kentucky, I 220 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:31.320 can tell meaning Kentucky, if you're Kentucky fan, I should say, 221 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.519 I can tell that you all have some similar vibes 222 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:38.639 compared to what Louisville had last week leading up to 223 00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:42.000 the Tennessee game, because you know, it's a new era, 224 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:47.759 you're certainly excited about the future, and you're looking at 225 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.919 this game is a big opportunity to make a splash, 226 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.200 make a statement this early on in the Mark Pope era. Louisville, 227 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:55.879 of course, was humbled and they were not able to 228 00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:57.360 make any kind of statement other than they got a 229 00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.159 lot of work to do. But Kentucky will see what 230 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.159 happens with them. I mean, it would be massive for 231 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:07.879 Mark Pope to get this win. And I mean I'm 232 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:09.799 probably not even gonna need to warn you. I think 233 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.360 you know, if you're a Louisville fan or a Kentucky fan, Uh, 234 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.039 they're gonna be next level obnoxious if they can win tonight. 235 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.080 And I probably would do the same thing if I 236 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.440 was them, and it would be really a it'd be 237 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.840 an early victory and maybe I don't know, let's say 238 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:29.399 a seven game series throughout this season. And what I 239 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:34.000 mean by that is the breakup happened. And you know, 240 00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.399 I'm sure there's some Kentucky fans that claim they don't 241 00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:39.080 know or care anything about cal and what Arkansas is doing. 242 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.440 But I don't believe a lot of you. And even 243 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.759 if that is true, you, I think are in the minority. 244 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.960 I think it's natural when you have the situation play 245 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.360 out the way that it did for Kentucky and Cali 246 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.080 Perry that you know you're gonna you're gonna watch what 247 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.080 he's doing, and you know he's watching what you're doing. 248 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:01.639 And to have two really big victories against teams you 249 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.120 know you should have beat bad and you did. And 250 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.399 then to see that he lost to Baylor in a 251 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:10.799 game where he looked like he didn't change anything about 252 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:15.279 himself as a coach. Right, playing old outdated, an old 253 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:20.000 outdated style of basketball after the loss, blaming it on youth, 254 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.759 blaming it on inability to practice, and you know, just 255 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.840 doing the same Cal shtick. And you know that's obviously 256 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:29.320 that obviously became very stale for Kentucky fans, understandably so 257 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:32.480 so you know you now don't have as much pressure, 258 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.039 I guess to go beat Duke. But if you do, 259 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:37.399 I mean you are you would you can clearly say 260 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.960 you're winning the breakup in a major way at that point. 261 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:42.519 Now maybe it changes, maybe Cal and Arkansas get hot, 262 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:45.080 and maybe when you guys meet in February at up 263 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:49.080 Arena it's a different situation and and and things have shifted. 264 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:54.879 But if Mark Pope wins this tonight, I mean, I 265 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.159 feel like you'll hear, you'll see, you'll feel I mean, 266 00:12:58.200 --> 00:12:59.919 maybe you'll avoid it if you're a Louisville fan, but 267 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.759 rather just be excitement of noxiousness whatever, like they'll be 268 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:07.039 on cloud nine. And I get it because it's it 269 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.639 is an exciting thing when you go through a new era, 270 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:14.440 especially whenever the things you probably didn't even realize you missed. 271 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.279 Mark Pope is delivering that. And what I mean is 272 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.360 it was just about Cal, not really about Kentucky. I 273 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:27.159 mean that was his brand. He you know, never checked 274 00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.720 the boxes that Pope has checked since he arrived, which 275 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.440 is just making everybody know that it's about Kentucky. It's 276 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:36.120 not about me, you know, And I'm sure that's really refreshing. 277 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:37.679 Now again, I think we all know he's got a 278 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:40.720 win for fans to ultimately say this thing, this is 279 00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:45.720 going great, but you know, for him to really, you know, 280 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.519 do it off the floor, do everything the opposite of 281 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:51.200 cal and that that's got to be. 282 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:52.840 A great feeling. And then for you to potentially get 283 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:54.080 a win the night would be big. But I hope 284 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:54.519 they lose. 285 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.679 I just I have no clue, and I mean no 286 00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.600 clue what will play out in this game. I can 287 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:06.080 see Duke being the deserving favorite, just because they bring 288 00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:08.960 back some good players from a year ago. But I 289 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:10.919 also have a guy that people think is going to 290 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:12.759 be the best player in the country in Cooper Flag 291 00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:16.519 And he's averaging right now fifteen points, none rebounds, four assists, 292 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:19.159 two and a half steals, a block and a half, 293 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:21.960 shooting at forty four percent from the field. 294 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.159 I mean, he's he's he's. 295 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.039 Been really good so far and wouldn't be a shocker 296 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.279 if he's the kind of guy that takes his game 297 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:34.120 to a different level whenever the competition is tougher, and 298 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.559 they're going to play good teams this year, meaning Duke. 299 00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:40.159 But so far their schedule has been two games against 300 00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:45.200 nobody's Maine and Army. Now on the Kentucky side, you know, 301 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.000 they don't have an NBA first rounder, at least I 302 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.799 don't think they do. But they've got a good collection 303 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.200 of players. They've got good shooters, you know, So the 304 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:58.000 scenario where Duke wins, it's just the talent is is 305 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:00.080 that much better for them at the top end. 306 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:03.000 Kentucky though. 307 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.120 I mean, if they're winning, it's not because they're shutting 308 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:06.159 Duke down defensively. 309 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.600 It's because it's a fast paced. 310 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.919 Game, a lot of points scored, and they just kind 311 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.559 of hold on and survive. I will say this, I 312 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.799 don't think you'll see a blowout on either side here. 313 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:23.879 But again I say that acknowledging that there really isn't 314 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:28.200 any result. I guess they would totally shock me. But 315 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.799 tonight nine o'clock or I guess probably closer to nine thirty, 316 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.879 that that's when this one tips off. There's a lot 317 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:35.919 of other games going on in college basketball as well 318 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.120 that I'm interested in, but I'm sure a lot of 319 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:42.440 you guys don't don't really care about all Right, before 320 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:45.200 we get to our first break here in the five 321 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.000 o'clock hour, Austin, I've never asked you this before. Are 322 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:49.159 you a Yellowstone guy? 323 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.080 Yellowstone? I have not watched it so yet, but I'm 324 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.360 not opposed to it. It's just the sitting down and 325 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:55.559 getting invested. 326 00:15:55.919 --> 00:16:01.279 So Yellowstone, I've watched it, and it it's the one 327 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:05.159 I would say the three shows I feel like people 328 00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:07.600 in you know, recent years have talked about as just 329 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:13.720 being like universally loved and worshiped. Game of Thrones is 330 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:18.240 up there, Ted Lasso is up there. And then I 331 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.120 would say this, I've only watched Yellowstone now. I'm not 332 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.200 caught up. I think I'm like two seasons behind maybe, 333 00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:27.480 And it's a good show. I enjoy it, but I 334 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:31.000 don't meet the level. I can't I can't match the 335 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:32.600 level of love that a lot of people have for it. 336 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:35.399 If that's fanatics, yeah, and look, I'm a fanatic for 337 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:38.159 a lot of shows, like I love getting invested in 338 00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:40.039 a show and just you know binging it. I mean, 339 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:41.720 it's not like I'm a post to that. I'm just 340 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.799 saying this one isn't one that like I've been obsessed 341 00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:46.159 with like other people have. 342 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:48.360 So but what. 343 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.120 Fascinates me is that this has now become a show 344 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.039 that really stands alone right now when it comes to television, 345 00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.080 because if you are someone that is so obsessed with 346 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.000 it to where you want to watch it as soon 347 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:06.759 as possible and you don't want any spoilers to ruin 348 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:09.640 your experience, you want to watch it right away. And 349 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:13.279 it's so popular that you could be doing just about 350 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:16.799 anything and potentially see a spoiler because that's how much 351 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:19.119 people talk about this show. That's how popular it is. 352 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.759 You can't open up any social media, any news site, 353 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:24.960 it seems like, without seeing some kind of an update 354 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:28.640 about this show because it's just that popular. However, you 355 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:32.799 can't watch it on demand. You cannot DVR it, which 356 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:35.759 well I guess, I guess technically you can, depending upon 357 00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:38.680 like the service that you have. So this is me 358 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.599 nerding out about something that probably isn't really that fascinating 359 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:44.839 to anybody else. But I know a lot of people 360 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.000 like Yellowstone. But if you have the Paramount Network on 361 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:53.359 your TV provider, you can watch it, but only live. 362 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:56.279 And what I mean by that is if you've got 363 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:02.599 Paramount Plus. Despite this showing on the Paramount Network, Paramount 364 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:05.759 does not own the streaming rights to this show. Therefore, 365 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:10.119 Paramount has one of the most popular TV shows in 366 00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:13.519 recent history, but they don't own the streaming rights. I 367 00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:17.720 only know of this because I remember last year it 368 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:20.400 became like I just remember reading a story that you know, again, 369 00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:24.160 probably didn't interest anybody else but me. But Yellowstone is 370 00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:26.319 going to go down in history, not just for being 371 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.799 a show that's legendary, but for a mistake that the 372 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:34.039 writers and the producers whoever put this show together. It's 373 00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:36.079 a mistake they made that everybody's going to learn from 374 00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:39.160 because I guess they didn't expect streaming to kind of 375 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:41.240 really be in the place that it's in right now. 376 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:46.720 They didn't think about obtaining the streaming rights. So Peacock 377 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:50.599 holds the on demand streaming rights to this show despite 378 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:52.519 it being a Paramount Network show. 379 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:55.839 So you can go, Ben's watch it on Peacock. You can't, Okay, No, 380 00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:59.279 you can't, you can't right now, Okay, So you'd have 381 00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:04.000 to wait Peacock. They typically don't upload new episodes until 382 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:08.599 the season is either completely over or it's halfway over 383 00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:11.640 and you can catch up. So, I mean, I've just 384 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.039 become spoiled to where anything, honestly, anything I watch that 385 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:17.559 I really get into is not on live television. Like 386 00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:19.240 it's not on a network, you know what I mean, 387 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:22.920 Like it's it's Apple TV, it's Netflix, it's HBO Max 388 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:25.480 and technically HBO, I guess still has live TV shows, 389 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.759 But I've never watched an A And I've watched a 390 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:29.880 lot of HBO shows that I love, but like in 391 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.720 the last six seven years, the HBO shows that I've watched, 392 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:35.039 I'm just opening up the HBO app and watching it. 393 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.240 Like right after it airs or the next day. You 394 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:39.799 can't do that with with with Yellowstone. 395 00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:40.920 Like you have to be in front of your TV 396 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:44.480 Old school went. Yeah, I mean, like it's be in 397 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:45.039 front of the two. 398 00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:47.720 I feel like that's thirty years ago, like when we 399 00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:49.079 used to have to watch TV like that. 400 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:51.759 Well, it's is that show still going on? Because I 401 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:53.160
