00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven ninety Holy crap, I don't know who

3
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:19.079
<v Speaker 1>the hell we think we are. Get off our show, idiot.

4
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:20.679
<v Speaker 2>The kids are crying or trail off.

5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>The countries are screwing it up. Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother,

6
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Goldplay Inner Murals.

7
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.760
<v Speaker 2>They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not.

8
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you

9
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:47.679
<v Speaker 1>kidding me? Now? Here's Nick coffee?

10
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:51.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm really glad. I looked at the microphone

11
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>levels here before I turned this microphone on and began

12
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.719
<v Speaker 2>to yap like I'm doing right now, because it was

13
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 2>it was at max volume. And you know what that

14
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>told me. That told me that one somebody was in

15
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.519
<v Speaker 2>here liking the microphone really really loud. And it tells

16
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 2>me that Shannon the dude is back because he's got

17
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 2>to be officially deaf with every like. Not only does

18
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.040
<v Speaker 2>he need his levels up as high as it goes,

19
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:20.120
<v Speaker 2>he needs to hear in the headphones as loud as

20
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 2>it goes. There's also speakers in here for you know,

21
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:24.879
<v Speaker 2>playing sound when we're not on the air. When you

22
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 2>don't need your headphones. He needs that as loud as

23
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.480
<v Speaker 2>it goes. So he's a max volume kind of guy.

24
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.959
<v Speaker 2>And you know, last week being back from vacation, so

25
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:35.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, technically two weeks not in the same studio

26
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 2>with the one and only Shannon the dude.

27
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:37.319
<v Speaker 3>Right.

28
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad I remember to take a look at the levels,

29
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.280
<v Speaker 2>because if I would have just got I about have

30
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.799
<v Speaker 2>got the show started without adjustments here, I might never

31
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 2>hear anything again.

32
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 4>I would be deaf, I believe. But sounds good for

33
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 4>him on his end when you hear him. But I

34
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 4>guess he probably knows how to control himself at those

35
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 4>high of octave.

36
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:57.239
<v Speaker 2>My man's been doing this a long time. Of course,

37
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 2>he knows the sweet spot. He's a very tall guy.

38
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 4>Maybe it takes a lot to get it, take his

39
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 4>body to register what he's hearing, so it needs to

40
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 4>be extra loud.

41
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and he's I mean again, he's He's done a

42
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 2>lot of things in his career. He's very six. Shannon's

43
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:12.639
<v Speaker 2>a very and I say this with all of and

44
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean it because Shannon's a great guy. Happy to

45
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 2>call him a friend. He's a very interesting guy. Like

46
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot like he's one of those. And this

47
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.280
<v Speaker 2>there might be some slight exaggeration here, but if you

48
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 2>know Shannon a little bit, or even if you listen

49
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 2>to him on the air with KSR on his rock show,

50
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 2>whatever it may be, Shannon's got an element to him

51
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.039
<v Speaker 2>where there's really not much that you could say about

52
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 2>him that would surprise you. Now, if you found out

53
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 2>he was a serial killer. I don't mean that, but

54
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 2>like something he'd be interested in, something he did, something

55
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 2>he likes, like he's always got you on your toes.

56
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, let's just say this for the figure that he

57
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.240
<v Speaker 4>is and for everybody knowing who he is.

58
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>If you think you know Shannon the dude and you

59
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 2>really you really don't. Yeah, and that's that's what that's

60
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 2>what you know.

61
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Plays it plays cards close to the vest sot.

62
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Folks can't get enough of him because as soon as

63
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>you think you you know, you've gotten to know him

64
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.879
<v Speaker 2>pretty well and nothing's going to surprise you, then you

65
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 2>find out you know, you know, he can he's a

66
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 2>pianist or something like. I don't know if he is,

67
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 2>but if aget, if I heard that, I wouldn't totally

68
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.599
<v Speaker 2>be zig. And now he's just been given three minutes

69
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 2>of this show as we get it started, so we

70
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 2>don't say we never did something for you.

71
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 3>Shittd.

72
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're on every platform we have here at iHeart,

73
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.919
<v Speaker 2>I believe in some aspects. And now you just got

74
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 2>the first three minutes and twenty seconds of coffee and company.

75
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 2>So you're welcome and welcome back from your spring break vacation.

76
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.000
<v Speaker 2>For me, this is week two getting started, of course,

77
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 2>back from vacation. And man, I don't need a vacation.

78
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm good, I'm ready to go. But the weekend went

79
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 2>by so fast. I was busy doing a lot of stuff,

80
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of good stuff, a lot of family stuff.

81
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.719
<v Speaker 2>And we had perfect weather. And I realized that the

82
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:44.800
<v Speaker 2>cancelation of thunder of a Louisville had nothing to do

83
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 2>with what was going to be happening as far as

84
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 2>rain and flooding while the event is supposed to go on.

85
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>But man, could we have had a better weekend if,

86
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.560
<v Speaker 2>in fact we didn't get hit with an unbelievable amount

87
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.680
<v Speaker 2>of rain a week prior. How perfect was did this weekend?

88
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:00.879
<v Speaker 3>Man?

89
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.199
<v Speaker 4>It was great. Baseball was going on. It was a

90
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.240
<v Speaker 4>great time to get outside and walk. I hear like

91
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.159
<v Speaker 4>yesterday was the perfect day to go to like Low's

92
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 4>home depot, get all your mult get all your gardening stuff,

93
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 4>Cuz go ahead and get ahead, start on it because

94
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 4>everything's you're starting to see weeds at your house. Do

95
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 4>you get a lot of weeds or you like mostly

96
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.199
<v Speaker 4>grass over over the state.

97
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 2>My wife is real big on making sure there's no

98
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 2>weeds in the flower bed. And we get our we

99
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 2>get our lawn treated, and you know we treated, yeah,

100
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, not just like we don't just have somebody

101
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.279
<v Speaker 2>that that comes and cuts it, but like you know, they.

102
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 3>Like feeds it and nourish it.

103
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, we got a real healthy lawn. And

104
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.600
<v Speaker 2>usually it's usually something that one would brag about. But

105
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 2>and I've talked about this before. I I don't have

106
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.439
<v Speaker 2>anything to do with my lawn looking great. We got

107
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.360
<v Speaker 2>a guy and he's great. Uh he's he's a very

108
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 2>successful ashiness man, has his own company. He's done real

109
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 2>well from stuff. I've known him almost my whole life.

110
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 2>His mother was my kindergarten teacher, so right now, he's

111
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 2>he's he's.

112
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:55.439
<v Speaker 3>Great at what he does.

113
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 2>We appreciate him and and it's a great investment that

114
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>we make to to have a great lawn, and I

115
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 2>love it. But I realized once it was clear to

116
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 2>everybody on my street that that beautiful lawn may be

117
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:08.319
<v Speaker 2>one of the best lawns you're going to see on

118
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>my street. They know that I don't have anything to

119
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 2>do with it. I'm just paying a guy. Like they

120
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 2>don't really have any respect for you know what I mean.

121
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 2>Like I've told the story before. I was walking to

122
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 2>the end of our court cul de sac, whatever you

123
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 2>want to call it, and one of the guys was

124
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>outside and he knew we were coming from from our

125
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.240
<v Speaker 2>home and I was out with the kids, and he

126
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:25.160
<v Speaker 2>was like, man, I gotta ask.

127
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:25.759
<v Speaker 3>You, what are you.

128
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Putting on that? And I'm like, no clue what he

129
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:29.959
<v Speaker 2>was talking about. He's talking about the lawn, and I

130
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, I looked at him shrug like, yeah, I

131
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:33.759
<v Speaker 2>don't know. Man, we pay a guy. He does a

132
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.959
<v Speaker 2>great job. I can give you his business card. But

133
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.040
<v Speaker 2>like there was the body language and just you know,

134
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.319
<v Speaker 2>I communicate with a lot of people. I feel like

135
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty good, not not better than than you know,

136
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 2>maybe the average. But you can always tell when you

137
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.360
<v Speaker 2>when you're talking to somebody, at least to an extent,

138
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 2>like where their energy is right. I feel like this

139
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.360
<v Speaker 2>guy was about to really compliment me and pick my

140
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:55.000
<v Speaker 2>brain on how great my lawn looked. And as soon

141
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.439
<v Speaker 2>as he realized I'm just paying a guy or a

142
00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 2>company to do it, I mean, it was like a

143
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.399
<v Speaker 2>deflation and of like, yeah, the hell with you, man,

144
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I got no worry.

145
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Man wanted to talk some grass.

146
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.759
<v Speaker 2>Not only do I no longer like have anything that

147
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I want to hear from you because you're not responsible

148
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.519
<v Speaker 2>for that beautiful, luscious law you have, but I've also

149
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>lost respect because a man is supposed to be cutting

150
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.680
<v Speaker 2>his own lawn, which we've had that conversation before. I'm insecure.

151
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 2>I I don't cut my grass, but I do feel

152
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.600
<v Speaker 2>like and I'm not out here ever. I mean, I

153
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.199
<v Speaker 2>don't know if there's ever any instance you could say

154
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:25.519
<v Speaker 2>that I'm someone that is always trying to really express

155
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.199
<v Speaker 2>masculinity and I'm just, you know, the manliest of men.

156
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not at all. But it's the one thing that

157
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't do that I kind of feel like makes

158
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.079
<v Speaker 2>me less of a man, is that I don't I

159
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 2>don't take care of my own lawn, but my wife,

160
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.800
<v Speaker 2>she and I both know that it's it's a it's

161
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.600
<v Speaker 2>a good I mean, it's it's worth the cost because

162
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 2>we have a great lawn. And if I was to

163
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 2>go back and do it and put a lot more,

164
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, put time into it and try, I could

165
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:52.600
<v Speaker 2>try for years, I would never have the ability to

166
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:56.000
<v Speaker 2>make her lawn look as good as it does right now. Okay,

167
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.120
<v Speaker 2>it'd be it'd be a decision to make if, in fact,

168
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.560
<v Speaker 2>like I felt as if my wife was, you know,

169
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.560
<v Speaker 2>thinking as if she's no longer with a man who

170
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.240
<v Speaker 2>can't even take care of his own lunch. She knew

171
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 2>what she married, right, She didn't trust me. There was

172
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>no scenario where when she decided, yeah, I think I'll

173
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:10.959
<v Speaker 2>give this guy a chance.

174
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 3>Those sorry bread's. But she knows that there's no.

175
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Scenario where she was I guess, you know, realizing that

176
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.519
<v Speaker 2>she was actually gonna, you know, spend a life with me.

177
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.959
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't because she's got herself this burly man who's

178
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.920
<v Speaker 2>just doing the manliest things out there. Although I do

179
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.160
<v Speaker 2>remind her once every now and again that I can

180
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>I can replace a tire, I can put a flat,

181
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:33.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, I can. I can put the doughnut tire

182
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 2>on for it. I can replace ours and I haven't

183
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:37.600
<v Speaker 2>done it in a long time, but I have changed

184
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.879
<v Speaker 2>my own oil before. That's it's that manly. I feel

185
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:41.360
<v Speaker 2>like it's manly.

186
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.240
<v Speaker 4>Of course, change my al is not something I'm gonna do,

187
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 4>but it's really not tough to do.

188
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:46.600
<v Speaker 3>Honestly.

189
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:48.519
<v Speaker 2>You just kind of have to have all the stuff. Yeah,

190
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 2>it's really not that difficult. But it's a dirty job.

191
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:54.319
<v Speaker 2>And you know it's it's it's it's something you probably

192
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:55.920
<v Speaker 2>no matter if you know how to do, even if

193
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:57.639
<v Speaker 2>there is a cost of difference clearly to go get the

194
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.680
<v Speaker 2>stuff you need or to have somebody do it because

195
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.800
<v Speaker 2>of the world that it is. Again, not like you're

196
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:03.600
<v Speaker 2>out here doing something that nobody can do, but like

197
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.600
<v Speaker 2>if you could avoid doing that, you would, right, I mean,

198
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:06.839
<v Speaker 2>it's something that would be fun.

199
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.560
<v Speaker 4>But uh, conversely, I always have always, I have always

200
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.920
<v Speaker 4>loved the activity of actively mowing a grass, mowing a lawn.

201
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.920
<v Speaker 3>Now, all this stuff that comes with you say you

202
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:21.319
<v Speaker 3>miss it.

203
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 2>I kind of missed the therapy of just being out

204
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:28.800
<v Speaker 2>by myself, listening to music or podcast podcast or something,

205
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.200
<v Speaker 2>and just like you know, there aren't many things that

206
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.399
<v Speaker 2>I do on a daily basis at this point in

207
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:38.080
<v Speaker 2>my life that I'm alone with my thoughts. Like and

208
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 2>it's a good thing, you know what I mean, But like,

209
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 2>if you're just out there, I mean, you're not talking anybody,

210
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.559
<v Speaker 2>you're cutting the grass. You know, you're just you're you're

211
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.320
<v Speaker 2>alone with your thoughts. But I you know, I used

212
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:50.000
<v Speaker 2>to I guess in a way it kind of felt therapeutic.

213
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:51.360
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, strangely therapy.

214
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.519
<v Speaker 2>But now, like you know, if if my wife was

215
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:55.919
<v Speaker 2>like she would tell me, all right, if you really

216
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:57.399
<v Speaker 2>want to go out there and you know, have your

217
00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:01.320
<v Speaker 2>own therapy session and try to you know, recover from

218
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.200
<v Speaker 2>the insecurity issues you have about cutting the lawn, we'll

219
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 2>get you one that's like Moos's right, doesn't actually cut

220
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.000
<v Speaker 2>the lawn. You just push it around out there and

221
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.080
<v Speaker 2>pretend that you're cutting the lawn, because she'll be damned

222
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.080
<v Speaker 2>if she's gonna let me butcher what has been you know,

223
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 2>has for the most part, we've had a mean again,

224
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 2>it feels weird like bragging on it. I'm proud of it,

225
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:21.279
<v Speaker 2>but like I have nothing to do with it. I

226
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.039
<v Speaker 2>just pay somebody to do it and they do a

227
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:23.519
<v Speaker 2>great job.

228
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:27.600
<v Speaker 3>So currently I have. I have a backyard, but it's

229
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:29.559
<v Speaker 3>absolutely destroyed. We have a dog.

230
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Is it destroyed because of the dog, because of the

231
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:32.559
<v Speaker 2>flooding both?

232
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:36.120
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's destroyed solely from the dog also us

233
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 4>as being a terrible dog. There's holes doug back there.

234
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.519
<v Speaker 4>There's our hot tub. Is I feel like it's falling apart.

235
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.039
<v Speaker 4>There's a cover that goes on the hot tub. The

236
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.440
<v Speaker 4>dog jumps up on that all the time. She rips

237
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 4>that stuff. There's about three or four different hoses out

238
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.600
<v Speaker 4>there just laying in my backyard that are chewed up,

239
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.799
<v Speaker 4>and I've had to get them from my dad each time,

240
00:09:58.080 --> 00:09:59.960
<v Speaker 4>and I have yet to tell him that the latest

241
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.519
<v Speaker 4>one also had gotten chewed up. So I'm ready for

242
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.600
<v Speaker 4>that conversation. And there's we tried to We tried to

243
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:10.440
<v Speaker 4>feed grass, bermuda grass into it last summer. Didn't necessarily

244
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.159
<v Speaker 4>work just because the back is so spotty, and then

245
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.000
<v Speaker 4>it just turned out being weeds everywhere.

246
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:17.159
<v Speaker 2>So you put a lot of effort and resources into

247
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.320
<v Speaker 2>the backyard. Try it's still a mess, right.

248
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:21.360
<v Speaker 4>It's terrible. So like now I have to go out

249
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.480
<v Speaker 4>there with the weed eater. I can't even do like

250
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:27.200
<v Speaker 4>a And eventually we had Maultch just thrown down over it.

251
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:28.720
<v Speaker 2>It would stress me I just to look at it,

252
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.399
<v Speaker 2>because you'd feel like, man, this is like, what are

253
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.879
<v Speaker 2>we gonna do here? Well, it was easy when it

254
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:36.559
<v Speaker 2>was nothing. But how have you never let me be

255
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.080
<v Speaker 2>an ear for you to talk through this? Because I

256
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.200
<v Speaker 2>can tell it's called it in I was gonna say,

257
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 2>it's what us men do. So two things in this

258
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:44.799
<v Speaker 2>ten and a half minutes we've had probably not accomplished

259
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:46.679
<v Speaker 2>much of anything yet to start the show. But that's okay,

260
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:49.360
<v Speaker 2>we're easing into it. It's a Monday one. I think

261
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.200
<v Speaker 2>the Bullet County and me is rubbing off on you

262
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 2>because it didn't sneak past me when you said all change.

263
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.080
<v Speaker 2>You said, oh, I know you group a lot in Arizona.

264
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.840
<v Speaker 2>They said definitely. But like I think that Bullet County

265
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.240
<v Speaker 2>twang that I every now and then can't can't resist.

266
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it rubbed off on you, but it made

267
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.279
<v Speaker 2>me happy that you said, oh awesome. Also, I think

268
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.639
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of like, I'm I'm like, how about have

269
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:13.919
<v Speaker 2>we gotten so close over the years. I mean, we're

270
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.320
<v Speaker 2>basically in a marriage together on this show? Sure, And

271
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.159
<v Speaker 2>you never told me you had a hot tub, Like

272
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:22.039
<v Speaker 2>you're holding out on me, Like how do you?

273
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:23.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean, like I feel like I don't even know you.

274
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.120
<v Speaker 4>We got the hot tubs started a little late this year.

275
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:26.879
<v Speaker 3>I got a hot tub.

276
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:27.840
<v Speaker 2>You know about it, Austin.

277
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:29.840
<v Speaker 4>I guess you're right. Well we're gonna have it. We're

278
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.960
<v Speaker 4>going to try to put the pool back up. The

279
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:34.080
<v Speaker 4>last couple of years we've had like a little wayfair

280
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:36.559
<v Speaker 4>pool out there with all like the pipes and drapes

281
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 4>that you have to put the little thing into the

282
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 4>socket and pop it.

283
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:42.519
<v Speaker 3>That had actually gotten torn up last year, not.

284
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.919
<v Speaker 4>By the dog, No, I was I was weed eating

285
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.799
<v Speaker 4>around it and the blade actually cut the liner.

286
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:50.000
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, that'll do it. Nothing.

287
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.600
<v Speaker 4>Some some gorilla tape couldn't fix. So that actually held it.

288
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.559
<v Speaker 4>But now it's just like there's just so much stuff

289
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:57.000
<v Speaker 4>back there.

290
00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 3>There's rocks.

291
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 4>There was some sort of landscaping last year where my

292
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.679
<v Speaker 4>wonderful fiance was like lining up stones and had her

293
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.000
<v Speaker 4>own flower bed. Once again, the dog takes those stones.

294
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.399
<v Speaker 4>They're all over the place. There's mulch all over the place.

295
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.759
<v Speaker 4>It's uneven surfaces, there's there's there's holes, there's chewed up dogs.

296
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:15.919
<v Speaker 4>You know what's wild is that I'm starting to get

297
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:16.799
<v Speaker 4>stressed thinking about it.

298
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:18.639
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean pressure.

299
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to uh, I don't want to get

300
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:22.840
<v Speaker 2>your hopes up for anything. But these are the kind

301
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:25.799
<v Speaker 2>of conversations that happened to where there's a listener that

302
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:29.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, may actually be in the business of repairing

303
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:31.679
<v Speaker 2>all these things that you're having an issue with, to

304
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.919
<v Speaker 2>where you could then come on the airwaves and talk

305
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.679
<v Speaker 2>about how great of a job and how the backyard

306
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.159
<v Speaker 2>is is in good shape, and how about that hot

307
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:42.399
<v Speaker 2>tub looking sexy or you can you know, I mean

308
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:43.639
<v Speaker 2>like if I had a hot tub, it might become

309
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:45.399
<v Speaker 2>a whole personality, you know what I'm saying.

310
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Like the hot tub. The hot tub looks like a mess.

311
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.440
<v Speaker 4>Nick when I get home, I'm gonnahow, I'm gonna show

312
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.480
<v Speaker 4>you it's it's the siding panel is come off, and

313
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:52.919
<v Speaker 4>so the.

314
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Hot tub is being held back by the backyard very much.

315
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:57.600
<v Speaker 3>And especially like you like the chill.

316
00:12:57.720 --> 00:12:59.960
<v Speaker 4>I get jealous listening to Wight every morning. Yeah, guy

317
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.600
<v Speaker 4>goes out into his hot tub every single day.

318
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>He way he has ever been in his hot tub?

319
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Not fully nude, No.

320
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.519
<v Speaker 4>Way, I would be surprised if he's ever worn any

321
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:10.879
<v Speaker 4>sort of underwhelm.

322
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:12.399
<v Speaker 2>Will be honest, if he's ever been if he's ever

323
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:14.320
<v Speaker 2>won anything in his hot tub. I would be surprised

324
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:15.000
<v Speaker 2>and disappointed.

325
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:17.000
<v Speaker 4>Actually, if I ever went over to his house and

326
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.120
<v Speaker 4>he came out and closed, I would say, dude, come on,

327
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 4>if you.

328
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:22.679
<v Speaker 3>Know what you're doing.

329
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.360
<v Speaker 2>If you show up to Dwight Whitton's house and the

330
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.639
<v Speaker 2>expectation is it's going to be a hot tub party

331
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:30.559
<v Speaker 2>and you show up naked and he gets surprised, he

332
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.320
<v Speaker 2>can't blame anybody but himself exactly. He set the tone,

333
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 2>we know, like he has to just expect everybody to

334
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:36.840
<v Speaker 2>show up nude.

335
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:38.200
<v Speaker 3>Right, I don't think that I would want it.

336
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:41.159
<v Speaker 2>Maybe invite Yeah, I don't know.

337
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.200
<v Speaker 4>We'll get invited to that. We'll see what a Dwight

338
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.759
<v Speaker 4>Witten hot tub party is like. But at the moral

339
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:47.600
<v Speaker 4>of the moral of the story, at the end of

340
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:50.440
<v Speaker 4>the day, it's easy to just ah, I'll look past

341
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.360
<v Speaker 4>that in a few months when it's all snowy out

342
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:55.360
<v Speaker 4>there here. I'm thinking the snow for a whole month

343
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:57.039
<v Speaker 4>is just going to wash all that stuff away.

344
00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:59.720
<v Speaker 3>One day I'll magically come out and it's clean. No

345
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:02.519
<v Speaker 3>it's not. It's just even muddier, nastier. Now it's hotter.

346
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.799
<v Speaker 4>And then the inevitability of hey, Austin, you need to

347
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:07.840
<v Speaker 4>get out here and do this before it's too late

348
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:09.679
<v Speaker 4>is starting to creep in. And this is where I

349
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.960
<v Speaker 4>start to push things off, push things off, and what

350
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:13.600
<v Speaker 4>causes will settle me in a.

351
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Wedding you're planning. I mean like that that that usually

352
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:17.399
<v Speaker 2>true too would take priority.

353
00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:19.159
<v Speaker 3>House dad doesn't take a back seat.

354
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:21.919
<v Speaker 2>Let's let's move on, because now I'm getting stressed out

355
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:23.679
<v Speaker 2>for all these like things we got to worry about.

356
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, let's just that's just about escape. That's just

357
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:27.360
<v Speaker 3>a backyard. All right.

358
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.679
<v Speaker 2>Well again I'm telling you, I guess for the first

359
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:31.440
<v Speaker 2>time this is Coffee and Company, and we are fueled

360
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.799
<v Speaker 2>by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Appreciate your

361
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.480
<v Speaker 2>hanging out with us, Nick Coffee, Austin Montgomery, the travel

362
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:39.120
<v Speaker 2>chief alongside taking you up till six o'clock, a lot

363
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.279
<v Speaker 2>to react to you from the weekend, which usually when

364
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.360
<v Speaker 2>I say that in mid April, it's a it's a

365
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:45.919
<v Speaker 2>complete lie because you know, usually there's really not a

366
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.279
<v Speaker 2>ton going on from the weekend for me that I'm

367
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.360
<v Speaker 2>like eager. You know, we can always make it work.

368
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:53.639
<v Speaker 2>But I'm not somebody who gives a flying rats behind

369
00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:56.360
<v Speaker 2>about baseball. We all know that. And as I discussed

370
00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:59.600
<v Speaker 2>last week, especially on Friday, I'm just not a golf guy.

371
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:03.759
<v Speaker 2>But I will I'll tell you I watched yesterday's final

372
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.039
<v Speaker 2>day of the Masters, and I won't lie and act

373
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:10.200
<v Speaker 2>like it was awesome. I'm all in on golf, but

374
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:14.320
<v Speaker 2>it was some I'm usually, especially this day and age

375
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:18.679
<v Speaker 2>as I get older, I don't. I don't succumb to

376
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.279
<v Speaker 2>the pressure of like missing out or the fear of

377
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.000
<v Speaker 2>missing out on stuff as much as I used to.

378
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:27.039
<v Speaker 2>Meaning if I know that everybody is watching something and

379
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:29.480
<v Speaker 2>it's all anybody, and I shouldn'tay everybody, but like anybody

380
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:32.320
<v Speaker 2>that I like my peers, my friends, people who you

381
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:34.200
<v Speaker 2>know are interested in the same things like I am.

382
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:34.720
<v Speaker 3>Sports.

383
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.519
<v Speaker 2>When when the Masters is it full of is all

384
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.840
<v Speaker 2>anybody's talking about. I'm usually at a point where, okay,

385
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.519
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I'm not gonna lie to myself. I

386
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.240
<v Speaker 2>know that I don't care. I'm not gonna watch, so

387
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.519
<v Speaker 2>I'll go do something else like it doesn't make me

388
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:47.639
<v Speaker 2>feel like, Okay, I don't really care about it. I

389
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:49.159
<v Speaker 2>don't know anything about it, but man, I gotta watch

390
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:50.360
<v Speaker 2>because everybody else is doing it.

391
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:52.919
<v Speaker 3>I did watch yesterday, but it wasn't because of that.

392
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:54.679
<v Speaker 2>It was because it kind of just played out to

393
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:57.559
<v Speaker 2>where you know, and I'll explain on the other side,

394
00:15:57.559 --> 00:15:59.600
<v Speaker 2>because it was it was entertaining. I don't I go

395
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:02.159
<v Speaker 2>I want lie and act like yesterday was the day

396
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:03.519
<v Speaker 2>for me where it hooked me and I'm now going

397
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:04.279
<v Speaker 2>to start keeping.

398
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:04.639
<v Speaker 3>Up with golf.

399
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:06.960
<v Speaker 2>But like everything, as far as how it played out

400
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:10.200
<v Speaker 2>with Rory McElroy, I mean, that was entertaining. I think

401
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:11.840
<v Speaker 2>you can not know anything about golf just like me

402
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:14.120
<v Speaker 2>and be able to kind of see what was happening

403
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:16.879
<v Speaker 2>as that thing was finishing up and it was high

404
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:19.639
<v Speaker 2>level entertainment. I still will stand by, you know, and

405
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm an outsider. So I'm not making request that golf

406
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:24.840
<v Speaker 2>as a sport or the Masters as a tournament an

407
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:27.639
<v Speaker 2>event changes anything, because they don't need me. They're doing

408
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.480
<v Speaker 2>just fine without me. But what I kind of thought was,

409
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's more than anything, it's probably just because this

410
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:34.919
<v Speaker 2>is kind of new to me. I've never really been

411
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 2>into golf before, and I guess I still technically am not,

412
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.360
<v Speaker 2>but like it's not a super inviting thing. Like it's

413
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:41.600
<v Speaker 2>way more dramatic than.

414
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:43.360
<v Speaker 3>It needs to be. It takes it the.

415
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Masters, you would know better than me, Austin the Masters,

416
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.039
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of a different level of like all right,

417
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.360
<v Speaker 2>we get it. Like, you know, it's not that serious, right,

418
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Like golf is a gentleman's game. There are you know,

419
00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:58.759
<v Speaker 2>there's etiquette that kind of stuff, and that matters, and

420
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:00.519
<v Speaker 2>the people who really love golf that's something that means

421
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:02.080
<v Speaker 2>a lot to them, So I get that. But like

422
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.920
<v Speaker 2>there's certain aspects of the Masters that's like all right,

423
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.160
<v Speaker 2>come on, guys, like you know, I understand, like this

424
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:08.839
<v Speaker 2>is the way it's always been, and you really want

425
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.680
<v Speaker 2>to overdo it with like elegance and class and grace,

426
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.160
<v Speaker 2>but like, you know, it just you know, it seemed

427
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:17.440
<v Speaker 2>a little much, but in the end a very entertaining

428
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.640
<v Speaker 2>and exciting finish. So we can we can talk about that,

429
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:21.079
<v Speaker 2>believe it or not. I will tell you I've got

430
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.279
<v Speaker 2>some thoughts to share, which hard for me to really

431
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.319
<v Speaker 2>sell that as a sell. Yeah, hard for me to

432
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:28.160
<v Speaker 2>sell that Whenever I've been telling you guys, I don't

433
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:29.880
<v Speaker 2>know anything about it, and we checked to see if

434
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.319
<v Speaker 2>pigs are flying. I mean it's it's uh, it was something,

435
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.799
<v Speaker 2>it really was. So there's that. Also, we were getting

436
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:42.519
<v Speaker 2>closer and closer to I think nobody being able to

437
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:46.319
<v Speaker 2>at any point tell you that, and maybe we're already there.

438
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:49.279
<v Speaker 2>But the Nico situation at Tennessee, and I say Nico

439
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:51.200
<v Speaker 2>because I don't really know how to say his last

440
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:55.079
<v Speaker 2>name without butchering a lama lavela. Does that sound right?

441
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:55.960
<v Speaker 3>I think so.

442
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:58.319
<v Speaker 2>So I did a quick reference before the show started

443
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:00.559
<v Speaker 2>today because I'm going to try to figure out if

444
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:02.119
<v Speaker 2>I would be able to say it, Like the one

445
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:06.160
<v Speaker 2>that everybody talked about as just impossible to say was

446
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.000
<v Speaker 2>tua tua tug of aaloa. But I feel like that

447
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:09.160
<v Speaker 2>actually is not that difficult.

448
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:09.599
<v Speaker 3>No, it's not.

449
00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:11.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean even whenever it was nude, everybody like, I

450
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:13.039
<v Speaker 2>don't think it was that difficult to figure out how

451
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:16.839
<v Speaker 2>to say it. But when it comes to this, So

452
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:20.079
<v Speaker 2>this is Molly Quorum, who I believe is on she

453
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:24.519
<v Speaker 2>she's ESPN's she's basically one of I don't know what

454
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.119
<v Speaker 2>do you call her.

455
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.400
<v Speaker 3>She's like she's like the mediator.

456
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:30.039
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yes, that's that's probably the best way to describe it.

457
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:34.079
<v Speaker 2>But she's on first take, and even she sounded unconfident

458
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:36.039
<v Speaker 2>in how she said it, But I'm going to assume

459
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:39.279
<v Speaker 2>that she is correct and how you say it. All right, guys,

460
00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:41.640
<v Speaker 2>I got another story for his controversial one here. Tennessee

461
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.279
<v Speaker 2>has moved on from starting quarterback Nicolava.

462
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.240
<v Speaker 4>He was, Uh, maybe I think I like that, or

463
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:51.880
<v Speaker 4>are we mistaking the first L for an I I

464
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:53.559
<v Speaker 4>don't know because of.

465
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.559
<v Speaker 2>It, but I'm telling you, when it comes to when

466
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.200
<v Speaker 2>it comes to names like this or just ones that

467
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:03.000
<v Speaker 2>aren't super common that you don't hear a whole lot,

468
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:10.519
<v Speaker 2>I feel more confident in if people are saying it

469
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:13.160
<v Speaker 2>correctly or incorrectly, by their confidence right to be honest

470
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:15.400
<v Speaker 2>with you. She didn't sound that confident, did she. I

471
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.920
<v Speaker 2>mean she's to be honest, she never does. Yes, fair enough,

472
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:22.119
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, my point is, I mean, this guy held

473
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:24.960
<v Speaker 2>out for more money, didn't show up anymore to his

474
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.759
<v Speaker 2>spring practice and team meetings whatever it was this past week,

475
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:30.279
<v Speaker 2>and then got they cut ties from him like we

476
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:32.720
<v Speaker 2>have had. I mean, again, I'm sure it's happened elsewhere,

477
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:35.240
<v Speaker 2>but maybe not to this level as far as the

478
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee starting quarterback, but he didn't get money that he

479
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:41.640
<v Speaker 2>and his family, slash camp.

480
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:43.759
<v Speaker 3>Or whatever felt like he was worth.

481
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:46.839
<v Speaker 2>So the school had to move on from him because

482
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:49.359
<v Speaker 2>at that point it turns into where even if he

483
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:51.079
<v Speaker 2>does come back, and let's say they did give him

484
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:53.559
<v Speaker 2>whatever money he wanted, there's no way to know. We'll

485
00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:56.839
<v Speaker 2>never know, but that can't be good for your locker room.

486
00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.039
<v Speaker 2>And that kind of stuff matters more than anything. That

487
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:00.799
<v Speaker 2>is one of the that is one of the factors

488
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:05.440
<v Speaker 2>in this new world that probably, I mean, it's known

489
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:08.640
<v Speaker 2>by average fans, but it just probably I don't think

490
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:11.720
<v Speaker 2>it comes to mind as much as far as how

491
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:13.359
<v Speaker 2>value how important.

492
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:14.279
<v Speaker 3>It actually is.

493
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Is that knowing that everybody in your locker rooms not

494
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:19.960
<v Speaker 2>making the same amount of money, and everybody's gonna probably

495
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:21.759
<v Speaker 2>know that, and you've just got to do whatever you

496
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:25.319
<v Speaker 2>can to sell culture, to sell the buy into where

497
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:28.000
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't that doesn't linger in somebody's mind and they

498
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:30.440
<v Speaker 2>become resentful, and then you've got a locker room that's

499
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.000
<v Speaker 2>just really not on the same page. So if you've

500
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:35.720
<v Speaker 2>got guys that you know are talented and you feel like, hey,

501
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:38.039
<v Speaker 2>since we're paying players. Now, I guess this guy's money

502
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:40.920
<v Speaker 2>is worth it because he's talented. But if he's bringing

503
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:43.640
<v Speaker 2>all that and it's going to create turmoil within your

504
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:47.279
<v Speaker 2>locker room, I mean you've got to cut ties. You've

505
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:50.480
<v Speaker 2>got four players that are super talented, and you paid

506
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:53.799
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of money to make it happen. But yet

507
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:56.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe the way they carry themselves, or maybe you know,

508
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe there's other others in your locker room them that

509
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:03.640
<v Speaker 2>are more jealous than anybody else, and they start to

510
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.400
<v Speaker 2>really you know, that starts to become infectious to where

511
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:08.160
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the locker room is kind of you know,

512
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 2>not ganging up on the guys who are getting all

513
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:11.599
<v Speaker 2>the money, but you know feel in a certain way

514
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:14.880
<v Speaker 2>because they realized that, you know, they're making a fraction

515
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.680
<v Speaker 2>of what these guys are making. I mean that's we've

516
00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:18.599
<v Speaker 2>already been there as far as everybody making a big

517
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:20.759
<v Speaker 2>different amount of money. And I always say this when

518
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:23.119
<v Speaker 2>it comes to I mean being an adult, which these

519
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:25.880
<v Speaker 2>college athletes believe it or not their adults, but like you,

520
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:28.200
<v Speaker 2>like not everybody's gonna make the same money the rest

521
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:29.880
<v Speaker 2>of life. Like you get what you were worth, what

522
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:31.759
<v Speaker 2>somebody's willing to pay you, and that's just how it is.

523
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:34.359
<v Speaker 2>So there's some life lessons along the way here as

524
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:36.440
<v Speaker 2>far as just understanding that you're gonna probably have a

525
00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:38.799
<v Speaker 2>job when you don't play football or basketball, whatever it is,

526
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:42.319
<v Speaker 2>and you know, you're gonna know that somebody may be

527
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:45.200
<v Speaker 2>in an apartment, it's not putting in the hours you are,

528
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:47.799
<v Speaker 2>that's not working as hard as you, that's not dependent

529
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:50.720
<v Speaker 2>upon quite like you are, and they may make thirty

530
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:54.319
<v Speaker 2>forty percent more than you, and that's gonna burn your ass, right,

531
00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:56.559
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna make you mad, it's gonna make you resent things,

532
00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:57.720
<v Speaker 2>and I mean.

533
00:21:58.200 --> 00:21:59.079
<v Speaker 3>Welcome to life.

534
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:01.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I bet there are people listening right now

535
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:05.359
<v Speaker 2>that have encountered somebody today at their job that they

536
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:09.079
<v Speaker 2>feel a certain way about because they just know that

537
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:12.039
<v Speaker 2>that person doesn't do as much as they do. They're

538
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:14.880
<v Speaker 2>they're not as you know, they're not needed quite as

539
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:16.480
<v Speaker 2>much as you, and they make more money than you.

540
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.640
<v Speaker 2>That not to say everybody listening is in that position,

541
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.000
<v Speaker 2>but I'm sure there are plenty, because again, that's that's

542
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:24.279
<v Speaker 2>the real world. But anyways, the Tennessee story is wild. Also,

543
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky picked up another commitment, but it wasn't from the portal.

544
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:32.240
<v Speaker 2>It's a guy from across the pond, which I've got,

545
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:35.440
<v Speaker 2>I've got not I think I've said this before, but

546
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:40.680
<v Speaker 2>in this new world where you randomly end up adding

547
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:42.559
<v Speaker 2>guys from the portal that you've never heard of, or

548
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:45.160
<v Speaker 2>now maybe guys from across the pond, like all of

549
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:47.240
<v Speaker 2>this should just be we should have a level of

550
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:49.680
<v Speaker 2>like reflection. I know, we get insane back and forth

551
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:53.200
<v Speaker 2>with this rivalry about louisvill basketball Kentucky basketball, because that's

552
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:55.240
<v Speaker 2>just I mean, it's it's a it's a big deal

553
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:57.759
<v Speaker 2>around here, and there's never gonna be a scenario where

554
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:00.400
<v Speaker 2>we're not spending the off season months go back and

555
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:02.079
<v Speaker 2>forth about which team is going to be better that

556
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:03.759
<v Speaker 2>kind of stuff, And that's just the way it works

557
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:06.240
<v Speaker 2>within a rivalry. But I do wish if we just,

558
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:09.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, for a brief second, took a step back

559
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:12.440
<v Speaker 2>and reflected. A lot of us are yelling about players

560
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:16.279
<v Speaker 2>being better than the other guys player the other team's players,

561
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:18.559
<v Speaker 2>when when you and again, that's what you do.

562
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:19.359
<v Speaker 3>It's a rivalry.

563
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:22.680
<v Speaker 2>It's petty, it's childish, but like, can we just realize

564
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:25.440
<v Speaker 2>that the majority maybe not the majority, but a lot

565
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:28.160
<v Speaker 2>of the players that are going to be new to

566
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky and new to Louisville this year that aren't you know,

567
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:37.279
<v Speaker 2>big highly touted incoming freshmen. We'd never heard of them

568
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.799
<v Speaker 2>until they either committed to said school or they appeared

569
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:44.519
<v Speaker 2>on the radar. And yet you know, we think we

570
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:46.319
<v Speaker 2>know everything about how good they're going to be, this

571
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:48.440
<v Speaker 2>and that, And I just wish, I really wish we

572
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:51.079
<v Speaker 2>lived in a world where we could just be real

573
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:53.799
<v Speaker 2>with ourselves and everybody else and claim, like, I'm really

574
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:56.480
<v Speaker 2>excited about this guy, but I've never heard of him

575
00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:59.519
<v Speaker 2>until you know, he was either committed to Louisville, Kentucky

576
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:02.039
<v Speaker 2>or was a to Like we all know that's the truth.

577
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Let's just live in reality. So again, we're loaded today.

578
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:07.720
<v Speaker 2>In fact, there's a lot of other things we're going

579
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:09.200
<v Speaker 2>to get into, but for the sake of time, I'm

580
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:10.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna go ahead and take our first break, try to

581
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:13.359
<v Speaker 2>keep this thing on track. It is Coffee and Company,

582
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:16.200
<v Speaker 2>and we are fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk

583
00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:18.240
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety.

584
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

585
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

586
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:33.799
<v Speaker 2>All right, so real quick. I know, you know how

587
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:36.960
<v Speaker 2>the final rankings, the AP poll, on the Coaches poll

588
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:39.680
<v Speaker 2>in college basketball, how it finished up is. I mean,

589
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:42.240
<v Speaker 2>it's not something I usually remember in previous years going

590
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:44.720
<v Speaker 2>back and making sure I see how these things finished up.

591
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:47.519
<v Speaker 2>But I do think from perspective of where Louisville was

592
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:50.079
<v Speaker 2>a year ago today and where they are now, I

593
00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:54.720
<v Speaker 2>mean year one, I mean, it would be blasphemy, I

594
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:57.200
<v Speaker 2>think to say that Pat Kelsey's not ahead of schedule

595
00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:00.279
<v Speaker 2>and looks as if you know he's gonna get me already.

596
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Did he already got this team without a tournament run?

597
00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:04.400
<v Speaker 2>You know you really Usually it's something like that that

598
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:08.000
<v Speaker 2>you would equate to to say, Wow, what a special season.

599
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:10.720
<v Speaker 2>But what I hoped all along ended up happening for

600
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:12.279
<v Speaker 2>me as a fan. And I'm only speaking for myself

601
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:14.519
<v Speaker 2>because maybe there's some that disagree. Louisville losing in the

602
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:17.319
<v Speaker 2>first round the tournament and being I think, you know,

603
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:22.119
<v Speaker 2>hilariously incorrectly seated as an eight. It sucks, But there

604
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:24.680
<v Speaker 2>was so much good and joy that came with year

605
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:28.039
<v Speaker 2>one of Pat Kelcey, and I am so confident and

606
00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:31.720
<v Speaker 2>excited about the future here with Pat Kelcey that I

607
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:34.000
<v Speaker 2>don't need a postseason run for me to look back

608
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:35.839
<v Speaker 2>at year one here and say that it was great.

609
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:37.319
<v Speaker 3>So for what it's worth, Louisville finished.

610
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:40.920
<v Speaker 2>At number twenty one in both of the Coaches Poll

611
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:43.480
<v Speaker 2>and AP Poll, and I just feel like, again another

612
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:44.960
<v Speaker 2>thing to throw out there, if you'd just said that

613
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:49.279
<v Speaker 2>after one year Louisville will be a ranked team in

614
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:53.920
<v Speaker 2>both polls. I mean, I know we oftentimes say rankings

615
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:56.359
<v Speaker 2>don't really matter, and I'm not going to contradict myself

616
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:57.519
<v Speaker 2>and say that they don't, but it is.

617
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:00.200
<v Speaker 3>It gives you a level of you know how your person.

618
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.160
<v Speaker 2>And when it comes to perception of Pat Kelsey and

619
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:05.799
<v Speaker 2>what he's been able to do, I mean the future.

620
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:08.759
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of people confident that this is going

621
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:10.680
<v Speaker 2>to be a season next year that is much better

622
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:13.119
<v Speaker 2>than the one you just had, because everywhere you look,

623
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:15.759
<v Speaker 2>Louisville's view to be a pre season top five to

624
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:17.799
<v Speaker 2>top ten, some people have him in the top three.

625
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:20.480
<v Speaker 2>So good stuff, no doubt. Right, It's coffee and Company,

626
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:22.160
<v Speaker 2>and we are fuel about Thornton's here on Sports Talk

627
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:24.079
<v Speaker 2>seven to nine. He appreciate you hanging out with us.

628
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:26.559
<v Speaker 2>They've still got the great deal going on. It's more

629
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:28.160
<v Speaker 2>like a steal because they're going to let you get

630
00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:32.119
<v Speaker 2>four Monster Energy drinks for just seven bucks. That is

631
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:34.079
<v Speaker 2>if you are a member of the Refreshing Awards program

632
00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:35.319
<v Speaker 2>at Thornton so signed to it. If you have, and

633
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:37.680
<v Speaker 2>it's easy to do, download the app on your iPhone

634
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:40.799
<v Speaker 2>or your Android phone and you'll be good to go.

635
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:44.160
<v Speaker 2>All right. So I'm not going to talk a whole

636
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:46.599
<v Speaker 2>lot of golf and Master's action from the weekend because

637
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not even really sure if I'd be capable of

638
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:51.519
<v Speaker 2>doing that, but because I don't really ever watch golf.

639
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:54.039
<v Speaker 2>But yesterday here's how it played out for me. We

640
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:56.759
<v Speaker 2>had our first of what will be a few different

641
00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Easter celebrations. We were with my wife's family at her

642
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:02.119
<v Speaker 2>grand mother's house, and as you could expect, you know,

643
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:06.079
<v Speaker 2>as folks are eating a nice Easter lunch and getting

644
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:07.880
<v Speaker 2>ready to hide the Easter eggs for the kids to

645
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:12.079
<v Speaker 2>go find, the TV just stayed on the Masters and

646
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:14.079
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't, you know, watching that closely.

647
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:16.200
<v Speaker 3>But as we were getting to.

648
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:20.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, the final the you know, rounding out the

649
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:22.759
<v Speaker 2>final day of the event, was quite clear what was

650
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.759
<v Speaker 2>going on right, Rory McIlroy. He was in control, looks

651
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:28.599
<v Speaker 2>as if it was his to lose, and then of

652
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:30.640
<v Speaker 2>course he would have a goof And there was so

653
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:33.160
<v Speaker 2>much an dissipation to see if in fact he was

654
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:36.480
<v Speaker 2>going to be able to hold on and you know,

655
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.480
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of bad holes that looked as if

656
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:42.640
<v Speaker 2>you know that's going to likely cost him, is he

657
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:43.440
<v Speaker 2>really going to do it?

658
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:44.279
<v Speaker 3>Not like this, Rory.

659
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:45.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, those are the kind of things a lot

660
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:48.240
<v Speaker 2>of people were saying, and that was enough for me

661
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:50.640
<v Speaker 2>to at least be intrigued, right, like if it would

662
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:52.519
<v Speaker 2>Because the people who love golf, or even if you

663
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:54.200
<v Speaker 2>just you know, maybe you don't love it, but you

664
00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:58.799
<v Speaker 2>enjoy it and you find it entertaining to watch those folks,

665
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:03.960
<v Speaker 2>they probably don't necessarily need any crazy scenario like yesterday

666
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.720
<v Speaker 2>with extra rounds and whatnot, because they're gonna watch regardless.

667
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:11.160
<v Speaker 2>For me, you know, it doesn't do much for me,

668
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:13.240
<v Speaker 2>But yesterday, the way it all played out, I was

669
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:15.519
<v Speaker 2>interested enough because I wanted to see, Okay, is this

670
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:17.720
<v Speaker 2>guy gonna be able to hold on and get it

671
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:19.640
<v Speaker 2>done or will it be And again, this is where

672
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:22.519
<v Speaker 2>I really am, just being out there and being vulnerable

673
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:24.799
<v Speaker 2>to be made fun of about this. But you can

674
00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:25.960
<v Speaker 2>make fun of if you want. I mean, it's just

675
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:28.240
<v Speaker 2>being honest. I don't know much about golf, but like,

676
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:30.359
<v Speaker 2>would that have been an old time collapse had he

677
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:32.839
<v Speaker 2>not won? Had to okay because for me, I'm thinking,

678
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:35.079
<v Speaker 2>of course, look at the reaction and man, like, how

679
00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:39.039
<v Speaker 2>does he go from having you know, what was it

680
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:42.119
<v Speaker 2>the I mean he had a four stroke lead with

681
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:45.319
<v Speaker 2>eight holes to play, and I mean he had himself

682
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:45.960
<v Speaker 2>in the water a.

683
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.359
<v Speaker 4>Couple of times, right, yeah, and he was playing safe

684
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:50.279
<v Speaker 4>for the most part too. Once he had that lead

685
00:28:50.359 --> 00:28:54.519
<v Speaker 4>on and Deshambo started completely falling apart than Justin Rose

686
00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:59.079
<v Speaker 4>treats back up the leader from Thursday and Friday, and

687
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:02.599
<v Speaker 4>then Rory had that amazing Saturday and then it started

688
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:04.960
<v Speaker 4>to haunt him again in that back nine. Actually, you

689
00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:07.319
<v Speaker 4>can't say back nine when you're talking about the Masters.

690
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:09.079
<v Speaker 4>It's the second.

691
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:11.559
<v Speaker 2>Nine, now, I know. I wouldn't have known that.

692
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:15.960
<v Speaker 4>Apparently back nine it sounds too much like backside, and

693
00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:19.240
<v Speaker 4>the Masters has a bunch of weird rules, you know,

694
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:21.640
<v Speaker 4>the whole patrons fans thing. You're not allowed to say that.

695
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:24.039
<v Speaker 4>You can't you can't say rough. It's got to be

696
00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:24.880
<v Speaker 4>called second time.

697
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.960
<v Speaker 2>They've got some specific rules that yes, have just always

698
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:28.480
<v Speaker 2>been rules.

699
00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:29.440
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it would have been.

700
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:32.039
<v Speaker 4>It would have been an absolute meltdown because that probably,

701
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:34.720
<v Speaker 4>I think this may it may have probably been Rory's

702
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:36.920
<v Speaker 4>last shot at the Masters, unless you were to do

703
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:37.799
<v Speaker 4>it again next year.

704
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:40.759
<v Speaker 3>But it's super hard to creep up.

705
00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:43.599
<v Speaker 4>And stay in the lead, and especially over there at Augusta,

706
00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:46.480
<v Speaker 4>it's a really tough course. And just I mean, how

707
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:48.519
<v Speaker 4>many times have you ever I know you said you're

708
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:51.359
<v Speaker 4>not like a real golf fan, but it's always kind

709
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:52.839
<v Speaker 4>of been on and it's on your Twitter, and you

710
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:54.880
<v Speaker 4>kind of like you are. You always kind of know

711
00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:57.880
<v Speaker 4>who wins because you'll see the memes. But over the years,

712
00:29:57.920 --> 00:29:59.640
<v Speaker 4>like how many times do you ever see like a

713
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:02.359
<v Speaker 4>ran dumb person winning the Masters and it's someone that

714
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:02.960
<v Speaker 4>you don't know?

715
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:04.440
<v Speaker 3>It's almost all the time.

716
00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:07.400
<v Speaker 4>So this could have been Rory's last shot, and it

717
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:08.799
<v Speaker 4>was almost an epic collapse.

718
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:13.920
<v Speaker 2>This was the second time that I've ever actually I

719
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:15.480
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't say go out of my way, but like it

720
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:17.759
<v Speaker 2>wasn't just I was relying on what people were telling

721
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:20.759
<v Speaker 2>me would happen by following Twitter or you know, the

722
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:23.440
<v Speaker 2>or Sports Center that night, Like I made sure to

723
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:25.200
<v Speaker 2>find a remote and put it on because I wanted

724
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:26.759
<v Speaker 2>to see it. That was yesterday. And then the other

725
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:30.400
<v Speaker 2>one was when Tiger did it twenty nineteen. Yeah, yeah,

726
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean that was eighteen, and that was so Again,

727
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:36.039
<v Speaker 2>as someone who's so not just don't know a whole

728
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:37.519
<v Speaker 2>lot about golf, I've not been exposed to it a

729
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:39.240
<v Speaker 2>whole lot. It's just not something I know a lot about.

730
00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:40.880
<v Speaker 2>And if I really wanted to know more about it,

731
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:44.079
<v Speaker 2>I could easily learn, but I just, you know, it's

732
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.519
<v Speaker 2>never really hooked me. But whenever Tiger had it rolling

733
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:49.119
<v Speaker 2>and it looked as if this was about to happen,

734
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:50.559
<v Speaker 2>it was still something at that time that people thought

735
00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:53.079
<v Speaker 2>would never happen again because of everything that had transpired

736
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:55.079
<v Speaker 2>with him. So that that's what hooked me. And he's

737
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:56.720
<v Speaker 2>a larger than life. I mean, he's one of the

738
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:00.279
<v Speaker 2>most highly publicized known athletes of my lifetime. I would

739
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:02.079
<v Speaker 2>say Hi and Michael Jordan are probably the two that

740
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:04.839
<v Speaker 2>as far as just fame and when they had the

741
00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:06.559
<v Speaker 2>buzz they had, I mean, there's just really nothing that

742
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:09.039
<v Speaker 2>would compare to them in their own sports. So that

743
00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:11.039
<v Speaker 2>got me and then yesterday again, I think I think

744
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:14.160
<v Speaker 2>once I could see this is something that interested me.

745
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:15.599
<v Speaker 2>And I know it's gonna sound like people like, yeah,

746
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:17.680
<v Speaker 2>that's why golf's great, you dumb ass, Why are you like,

747
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:19.799
<v Speaker 2>why are you talking about it like it's something nobody's

748
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:22.039
<v Speaker 2>ever watched before? So again, trust me, I'm aware that

749
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:24.640
<v Speaker 2>this is probably something that has always been really uh,

750
00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:26.319
<v Speaker 2>something that hooks you in as a golf fan.

751
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:27.720
<v Speaker 3>But to see how.

752
00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:32.599
<v Speaker 2>Visibly Rory mackleroy was melting right and to know like

753
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:35.079
<v Speaker 2>all the pressure like that interested me enough. And I

754
00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:37.319
<v Speaker 2>won't say like I was rooting for him to choke

755
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:42.119
<v Speaker 2>it away, but you know the fact that he kept

756
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:44.640
<v Speaker 2>being in position to put it away and then he

757
00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:47.359
<v Speaker 2>couldn't do it like that that added a level of

758
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:49.480
<v Speaker 2>interest to see, Okay, is he gonna keep choking it

759
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:51.440
<v Speaker 2>away when he's got the thing, when he's got the

760
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:55.200
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to kind of put this thing away? So you know,

761
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:58.000
<v Speaker 2>it's again I don't know this, but it seems like

762
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:00.400
<v Speaker 2>he's a pretty likable guy within his sports or no,

763
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:02.720
<v Speaker 2>like I think so, I think he's very well like

764
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:06.160
<v Speaker 2>I felt like people, I felt like people were really

765
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:07.799
<v Speaker 2>genuinely happy for me. But then again, there's also a

766
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:09.839
<v Speaker 2>part of me just thinking okay, because this is such

767
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:12.839
<v Speaker 2>a sophisticated event. That is the masters that like, no

768
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:14.880
<v Speaker 2>matter who wins, they'll find a way to be classy

769
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:15.799
<v Speaker 2>and happy for them.

770
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:16.960
<v Speaker 3>Like are their villains in golf?

771
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:19.000
<v Speaker 2>I think there are, but maybe not, you know, yeah,

772
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:22.960
<v Speaker 2>oh they live guys or Shooter McGavin out there, bryceon Deshambeau,

773
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:25.480
<v Speaker 2>bryceon De'shambeau.

774
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:29.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I would, I would. I wouldn't say, like maybe

775
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:32.359
<v Speaker 4>to your general people, because he's he's golf with Trump

776
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:35.440
<v Speaker 4>and he's shown his support for that kind and he

777
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:37.839
<v Speaker 4>also does like the live golf too, and people look

778
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:40.400
<v Speaker 4>at those golfers and Phil Mickelson still does that and

779
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:44.359
<v Speaker 4>they look at those golfers like Phil, Yeah, yeah, how

780
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:46.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean he's been been a while since you know,

781
00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:49.920
<v Speaker 4>it has been, but yeah, those guys took the Saudy

782
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:53.039
<v Speaker 4>Arabia money. They don't they don't look at them like

783
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:54.240
<v Speaker 4>traditional lists.

784
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:57.480
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, I I know that there are people

785
00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:59.279
<v Speaker 2>listening that really love golfer. Maybe they don't. They just

786
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:01.240
<v Speaker 2>keep up with it and like these two dumb asses,

787
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:02.920
<v Speaker 2>which by the way, you you know, way more about it.

788
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Than I do wonder how it sounds the average list.

789
00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:07.279
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but they're like these guys have a sports show,

790
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Get these clowns out of here, which I get it.

791
00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:12.200
<v Speaker 2>I promise you we're gonna not make fools. I'm not

792
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:14.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna make a full of myself. It's a huge Yeah,

793
00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:17.240
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about it, and I am, you know, not

794
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:19.240
<v Speaker 2>to make it all about me, because again, golf spawned

795
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:20.920
<v Speaker 2>without me. I can never watch golf again, never talk

796
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:22.720
<v Speaker 2>about it again, and golf it's just gonna be fine.

797
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:25.279
<v Speaker 3>But it was after last week kind.

798
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:27.039
<v Speaker 2>Of mentioning, you know what, golf is the one sport

799
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:30.519
<v Speaker 2>that I clearly should know more about. I could easily have,

800
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:33.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, done some homework and it wouldn't have taken

801
00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:34.119
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot of effort to you know, be a

802
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:36.079
<v Speaker 2>little bit more informed on the sport of golf. I've

803
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:40.559
<v Speaker 2>just never really done it. But yesterday was like many many,

804
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:44.000
<v Speaker 2>many other years of the Masters, where it's it's impossible

805
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:46.440
<v Speaker 2>to not know that it's going on. It's also impossible

806
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:48.160
<v Speaker 2>to not know who's like playing well because it's all

807
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:49.240
<v Speaker 2>anybody's talking about.

808
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:51.400
<v Speaker 3>And in previous years, I don't.

809
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Really I don't really succumb to the the to the fomo,

810
00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:55.839
<v Speaker 2>the fear of missing out like I'm fine, not you know,

811
00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:58.319
<v Speaker 2>like instead of keeping up with the masters, all go

812
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:00.559
<v Speaker 2>outside and you know, throw football with my son and

813
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:03.119
<v Speaker 2>really not care who wins and I'll find out later

814
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:05.839
<v Speaker 2>and it's whatever. But because of, you know, the way

815
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:08.320
<v Speaker 2>it was playing out, I did have interest enough to

816
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:09.719
<v Speaker 2>where I wanted to make sure I got to see

817
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:11.679
<v Speaker 2>how it ended. And I felt like, you know, it

818
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:15.239
<v Speaker 2>was entertaining. I thought Mike Rosenberg, who writes for Sports Illustrated,

819
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:19.000
<v Speaker 2>he had a great column on it, which again I

820
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:21.360
<v Speaker 2>felt like I was growing as not a golf fan,

821
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:23.679
<v Speaker 2>but you know, just learning about golf because I could

822
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:26.039
<v Speaker 2>I read it in its entirety, and you know, there's

823
00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:28.000
<v Speaker 2>some terminology, there's just some stuff about golf that I

824
00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:29.679
<v Speaker 2>don't know a lot about. But I was able to

825
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:30.880
<v Speaker 2>keep up with it, and I thought it was really

826
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:32.119
<v Speaker 2>well dumb. And I'm gonna read for you a little

827
00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:36.079
<v Speaker 2>excerpt here because I think, really this really it kind

828
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:38.559
<v Speaker 2>of puts in perspective just how wild that finished was.

829
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:40.599
<v Speaker 2>And wild it's probably not even the right way to

830
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:42.559
<v Speaker 2>describe it. And I'm sure the golf purists wouldn't like

831
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:45.239
<v Speaker 2>me saying, man, that was wild, but it was. You know,

832
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:49.519
<v Speaker 2>the beauty of Rory's win is probably the best way

833
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:51.599
<v Speaker 2>to describe it. That's how Mike Rosenberg talks about it.

834
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:53.360
<v Speaker 2>But it says whether you think golf is the greatest

835
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:56.960
<v Speaker 2>game in the world or the most ridiculous, the twenty

836
00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:00.159
<v Speaker 2>twenty five Masters is your best argument. Maclroy made four

837
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:03.719
<v Speaker 2>double double bogies this week and still won. He built

838
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:06.679
<v Speaker 2>a four stroke lead with eight holes to play. From there,

839
00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:10.320
<v Speaker 2>he nearly found water on number eleven, hit an unthinkably

840
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:13.760
<v Speaker 2>atrocious wedge into the water. On thirteen, hit an outrageous

841
00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:16.599
<v Speaker 2>draw into the fifteenth green to give himself an eagle chance,

842
00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:19.920
<v Speaker 2>missed putts of eleven, eight, six and nine feet, hit

843
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:22.239
<v Speaker 2>an iron from one hundred and ninety seven yards to

844
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:25.360
<v Speaker 2>kick in range on seventeen, missed a five foot par

845
00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:28.000
<v Speaker 2>putt to win, and finally he gave himself a four

846
00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:30.639
<v Speaker 2>foot bird he putt to beat Justin Rose in a playoff.

847
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:35.239
<v Speaker 2>Mceilroy sank it. The line between art and obscenity has

848
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:38.079
<v Speaker 2>never been thinner. I just thought that was that made

849
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:40.880
<v Speaker 2>me realize, Okay, the way the whole thing played out

850
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:43.719
<v Speaker 2>for Rory. That was the kicker that got me, someone

851
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:45.880
<v Speaker 2>who has never really been interested or really cared to

852
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:48.280
<v Speaker 2>want to see what happens. You know, so I won't

853
00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:49.840
<v Speaker 2>fake it and act like I'm in. I'm all in

854
00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:52.519
<v Speaker 2>on golf because I probably won't watch golf for a

855
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:54.559
<v Speaker 2>long time. Well, you said, but I did yesterday and

856
00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:55.519
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed it.

857
00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:57.719
<v Speaker 4>Well you said, you and your buddies on Friday, guys

858
00:35:57.719 --> 00:35:59.199
<v Speaker 4>have the group chat going and there's a lot of

859
00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:02.280
<v Speaker 4>Masters talk. Was there any more contribution for what you

860
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:03.679
<v Speaker 4>were talking about author yesterday?

861
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:06.599
<v Speaker 2>No, but the day that I did, you know, that's

862
00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:09.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad you remember that because last week I was just,

863
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:11.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm in a group chat with my closest friends,

864
00:36:11.480 --> 00:36:14.800
<v Speaker 2>guys I've known for no joke, thirty years, and it's

865
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:17.360
<v Speaker 2>really our fantasy football chat, but it's we're active in

866
00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:20.360
<v Speaker 2>their daily just she had the boys and you know,

867
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:22.280
<v Speaker 2>they're they're going back and forth about what's going on.

868
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:24.920
<v Speaker 2>This was day one of the Masters, and I just

869
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:27.119
<v Speaker 2>I ended up writing in and saying hell of a

870
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:30.440
<v Speaker 2>start for the Masters guys, and two of them like

871
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:32.079
<v Speaker 2>did the light you know, they did the laugh thing,

872
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:34.480
<v Speaker 2>like where they you know, you can react to a

873
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:37.519
<v Speaker 2>certain message without responding to it. And then somebody asked

874
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:40.000
<v Speaker 2>if someone had stolen my phone, which that's that's that's

875
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the appropriate response, I think, because nobody, nobody would understand

876
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:46.679
<v Speaker 2>why I was even talking about golf. But again, golf

877
00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:49.639
<v Speaker 2>is clearly very popular. It's doing fine without me. The

878
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:51.039
<v Speaker 2>last thing I ever want to make it out to

879
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:54.239
<v Speaker 2>be is that like golf's the issue and I'm and

880
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:56.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm somebody telling you that the sport sucks. No, everybody

881
00:36:56.760 --> 00:36:59.400
<v Speaker 2>has their own things that they are interested in, and

882
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there are and I don't know, maybe I'm

883
00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:03.360
<v Speaker 2>wrong here, but I would imagine there's a lot of

884
00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:07.360
<v Speaker 2>folks listening that there's something similar for them like golf

885
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.679
<v Speaker 2>is to me, meaning that you know, you're in the minority,

886
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:12.559
<v Speaker 2>and that a lot of people that you consider peers

887
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:15.119
<v Speaker 2>and friends that have a similar lifestyle to you, that

888
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:17.559
<v Speaker 2>are similar to you in age, interest that kind of stuff,

889
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:19.239
<v Speaker 2>to where you just for some reason have never really

890
00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:20.719
<v Speaker 2>been able to get into it. That's what's golf.

891
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:21.840
<v Speaker 3>Golf has always been for me.

892
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:24.400
<v Speaker 2>So to be able to watch the Masters, especially the

893
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:26.800
<v Speaker 2>last day, and you know, I enjoyed it, I was

894
00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:28.519
<v Speaker 2>able to keep what was going on. It was entertaining.

895
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:31.679
<v Speaker 2>So I'm happy, all right, quick Break will come back,

896
00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:34.440
<v Speaker 2>keep this name rolling along. A couple of Louisville players

897
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:37.599
<v Speaker 2>post Spring have hit the transfer portal for football. I

898
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:40.679
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's alarming. In fact, this is just the

899
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:41.159
<v Speaker 2>new norm.

900
00:37:41.199 --> 00:37:41.360
<v Speaker 3>Now.

901
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Guys will leave and it'll just be because they can,

902
00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:47.400
<v Speaker 2>and you know you got to move on without him.

903
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:50.760
<v Speaker 2>But I do think there's one area where I hope

904
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:53.599
<v Speaker 2>that this staff, Jeff Bram and his crew are keeping

905
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:56.280
<v Speaker 2>an eye on what's available in the portal, because I

906
00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:58.559
<v Speaker 2>do think there's one position to me that just seems

907
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:01.119
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more thin and unproven than I would

908
00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:03.320
<v Speaker 2>expect for a Jeff Brohm offense. So we'll get to

909
00:38:03.320 --> 00:38:04.880
<v Speaker 2>that in a lot more stick around. It's Coffee and

910
00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Company Fieldbut Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

911
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

912
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

913
00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:19.280
<v Speaker 2>That's right, Coffee and Company taking you up until six

914
00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:22.400
<v Speaker 2>o'clock here on a Monday afternoon, A beautiful, warm Monday,

915
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:24.119
<v Speaker 2>I say beautiful. I think we were actually supposed to

916
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:26.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe get some brief rain. But all in all, the

917
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.000
<v Speaker 2>last few days have been phenomenal around here, and we

918
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:31.480
<v Speaker 2>only have a few minutes left here in the three

919
00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:33.840
<v Speaker 2>o'clock hours, so don't forget. We've got a lot more

920
00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:37.760
<v Speaker 2>to get into, including where I hope Louisville is. When

921
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:39.440
<v Speaker 2>I say Louisville, I mean Jeff Brom and his staff.

922
00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:44.440
<v Speaker 2>I think they've got one, maybe two positions that I'm

923
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:46.920
<v Speaker 2>sure they're going to be looking out to see who

924
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:49.400
<v Speaker 2>enters the transfer portal post spring to try to go

925
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:53.039
<v Speaker 2>fill some scholarships and you know, get this roster in

926
00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:54.920
<v Speaker 2>as best shape as possible before you get to kicking

927
00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:56.880
<v Speaker 2>off the season. Not to say that they've got real

928
00:38:56.920 --> 00:38:59.960
<v Speaker 2>big issues, but obviously if you're not evaluating the portal

929
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:04.199
<v Speaker 2>post spring and seeing what's available and of course relating

930
00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:06.920
<v Speaker 2>that to your specific needs within your roster, then you

931
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:08.360
<v Speaker 2>know you're not doing your job. That's the way this

932
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:11.039
<v Speaker 2>is now, So we can get into that. Also, I

933
00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:13.960
<v Speaker 2>want to talk about the Savannah Bananas because I think

934
00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:17.400
<v Speaker 2>right their buzz continues to grow in a major way,

935
00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:21.280
<v Speaker 2>and I think there's something that a lot of people,

936
00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:24.840
<v Speaker 2>including fans, those that work in sports at all levels,

937
00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:28.719
<v Speaker 2>could learn from this. Story in this organization that I

938
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:30.760
<v Speaker 2>just I don't know if many people are noticing that.

939
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:33.480
<v Speaker 2>So we'll get to that, and who knows what else

940
00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:35.000
<v Speaker 2>we'll get into. We'll also talk a little bit more

941
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:38.440
<v Speaker 2>about basketball as you're getting closer to seeing these rosters

942
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:41.519
<v Speaker 2>finalize for both Louisville and Kentucky. And I really think

943
00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:44.960
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to this Louisville roster, I mean, case

944
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:47.880
<v Speaker 2>In Pryor wouldn't be shocked if we get something this week.

945
00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:51.280
<v Speaker 2>It sounds as if there's everybody still under the impression

946
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:54.400
<v Speaker 2>that he intends to come back. But obviously he'll probably

947
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:57.480
<v Speaker 2>wait to announce that until he's one thousand percent sure

948
00:39:57.480 --> 00:39:59.440
<v Speaker 2>that's what he's going to do, and I guess he's

949
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:00.880
<v Speaker 2>just not there yet. So again, we got a lot

950
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:02.400
<v Speaker 2>to get to before we wrap it up here at

951
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:04.840
<v Speaker 2>six o'clock. But I do want to give a big

952
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:08.599
<v Speaker 2>congratulations to a colleague friend of mine who I still

953
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:10.559
<v Speaker 2>at times can't believe I get to call him a

954
00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:12.480
<v Speaker 2>colleague and a friend, and that's mister Tony Cruz, who

955
00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:16.719
<v Speaker 2>announced his retirement this past Friday on news Radio eight

956
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:19.960
<v Speaker 2>forty WHS coming up at the end of May, mister

957
00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Cruz will hang it up and live his life of

958
00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:26.639
<v Speaker 2>not getting up at three o'clock every morning and hosting

959
00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:29.079
<v Speaker 2>news radio eight forty WHS. You know, Tony's one of

960
00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:32.360
<v Speaker 2>those guys that, you know, when I think of radio

961
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:35.519
<v Speaker 2>in Louisville, I mean, I was going to say in

962
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:37.280
<v Speaker 2>this market, which I guess is the right way to

963
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:38.639
<v Speaker 2>talk about it now. But you know, when I was

964
00:40:38.760 --> 00:40:42.199
<v Speaker 2>a radio listener, only even when I was like a kid,

965
00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I didn't know what. I would never say market, right,

966
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I would just say, Hey, that's a guy that I know.

967
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:48.920
<v Speaker 2>I hear on the radio, and he talks about my team,

968
00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:52.480
<v Speaker 2>the Cards. So Tony has had a phenomenal career. I

969
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:54.760
<v Speaker 2>don't need to tell anybody that. I'm sure you're well aware.

970
00:40:55.239 --> 00:40:58.519
<v Speaker 2>And before he did a twenty year run hosting news

971
00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:01.920
<v Speaker 2>radio eight forty whs's show, he was one of the

972
00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:05.280
<v Speaker 2>hosts of sports Talk on eight forty WAHS. I say

973
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:07.480
<v Speaker 2>one of the hosts, not because it was a two

974
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:11.119
<v Speaker 2>to three man show, but because that is a legendary

975
00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:14.760
<v Speaker 2>show here that no longer exists. But there's only three

976
00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:17.480
<v Speaker 2>that have ever done it, and they were all phenomenal,

977
00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:20.400
<v Speaker 2>and in my opinion, you know, all legendary when it

978
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:24.800
<v Speaker 2>comes to just this market, when it comes to sports talk,

979
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:27.920
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily just sports talk radio, but sports talk within

980
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:31.400
<v Speaker 2>the radio format started many many years ago with obviously

981
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Van Vantz, who I mean, he's a legend. We all

982
00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:36.599
<v Speaker 2>know that. But Tony Cruz took over for Van Vantz

983
00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:39.119
<v Speaker 2>hosting sports talk, did it for a long time, had

984
00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:40.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of success, and then he made the move

985
00:41:41.199 --> 00:41:43.679
<v Speaker 2>to mornings on HS and at that time Locklan McClain

986
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:46.679
<v Speaker 2>he took over, and he also had a great run

987
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:49.639
<v Speaker 2>on sports Talk on eight forty whas. So you know,

988
00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Tony's one of those guys that other than Paul Rodgers,

989
00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:56.960
<v Speaker 2>he's the first person I remember talking about Louisville basketball

990
00:41:57.239 --> 00:41:59.719
<v Speaker 2>on the radio, Like I didn't know it was the thing.

991
00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:01.519
<v Speaker 3>I just thought radio was for music.

992
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:04.000
<v Speaker 2>And then you know, I hear, oh wait, they're talking

993
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:06.199
<v Speaker 2>about something that I'm obsessed with as a young kid.

994
00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:08.760
<v Speaker 2>And you know, sure enough, I didn't listen all the

995
00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:10.079
<v Speaker 2>time because I didn't you know, I didn't have a

996
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:11.760
<v Speaker 2>radio in my room, and I only listened whenever was

997
00:42:11.760 --> 00:42:13.519
<v Speaker 2>in the car with my dad or my mom and

998
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:16.599
<v Speaker 2>they were listening to it. But the first stories I

999
00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:19.280
<v Speaker 2>remember being talked about like that I knew of about

1000
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Louisville Athletics and just you know, as a kid, my

1001
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.760
<v Speaker 2>cards were from Tony Cruz and when I was on

1002
00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:30.199
<v Speaker 2>in the mornings from I guess it was about twenty

1003
00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:34.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighteen to twenty twenty one, Tony and I were

1004
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:36.960
<v Speaker 2>across the hall from each other. Right he was on HS.

1005
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:39.119
<v Speaker 2>I was on seven ninety in our old building. We

1006
00:42:39.199 --> 00:42:41.519
<v Speaker 2>literally were directly across the hall from each other. And

1007
00:42:41.599 --> 00:42:43.960
<v Speaker 2>sometimes it would feel as if I did a show

1008
00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:48.360
<v Speaker 2>with no commercial breaks, because Tony would hop over into

1009
00:42:48.360 --> 00:42:50.639
<v Speaker 2>my studio. He has longer breaks because they have news

1010
00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:52.199
<v Speaker 2>and weather and whatnot, but we would talk sports, so

1011
00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:54.199
<v Speaker 2>it's like we I never got a break, and he

1012
00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:57.840
<v Speaker 2>would share stories about the of you know, the things

1013
00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:00.360
<v Speaker 2>that took place that he got to cover during his

1014
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:03.800
<v Speaker 2>time on Sports Talk on HAS and it made me

1015
00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:07.599
<v Speaker 2>so much more knowledgeable about this market and about sports

1016
00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:09.880
<v Speaker 2>and the big stories, the big events, how they were covered,

1017
00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:13.440
<v Speaker 2>and it's He's provided a level of information and knowledge

1018
00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:15.159
<v Speaker 2>of things that I would never know if it wasn't

1019
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:17.280
<v Speaker 2>for him specifically. I mean, he's a guy that there

1020
00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:19.360
<v Speaker 2>weren't a whole lot of platforms to go get information

1021
00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:21.840
<v Speaker 2>or even talk about things going on. That was back

1022
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:23.920
<v Speaker 2>when radio really didn't have the competition it has now

1023
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:25.840
<v Speaker 2>with the Internet. Some of the bigger stories that have

1024
00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:28.440
<v Speaker 2>ever happened around here, like Patino coming back here to Kentucky,

1025
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:30.599
<v Speaker 2>but coaching at Louisville. You know, Tony was on the

1026
00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:33.199
<v Speaker 2>airwaves when that went on and taking reaction from people,

1027
00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:35.480
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I just I mean, I could sit

1028
00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:37.079
<v Speaker 2>and listen to him talk about that stuff all day

1029
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:39.000
<v Speaker 2>because it's something I'm obsessed with. But but again, it was

1030
00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:41.800
<v Speaker 2>before I was you know, I mean, I remember some

1031
00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:43.679
<v Speaker 2>of these things happening, but I didn't remember listening to

1032
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:45.440
<v Speaker 2>it on the radio because again I was a little kid.

1033
00:43:46.039 --> 00:43:48.159
<v Speaker 2>So he was a great resource for me. He's been

1034
00:43:48.199 --> 00:43:50.119
<v Speaker 2>a great friend, and he's had a legendary career. When

1035
00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:54.800
<v Speaker 2>you talk about radio in Louisville forever till the end

1036
00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:56.599
<v Speaker 2>of time, I don't know how his name is not

1037
00:43:56.679 --> 00:43:59.159
<v Speaker 2>going to come up. And as much as he is,

1038
00:43:59.239 --> 00:44:01.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, a pro when it comes to this industry

1039
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:06.199
<v Speaker 2>and broadcasting, he's he's so he is so much at

1040
00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:09.360
<v Speaker 2>his I'm not trying to get worked up here because

1041
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:12.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, we like to have fun. But hearing Tony

1042
00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:16.159
<v Speaker 2>talk about his faith, talking about his family and his children,

1043
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:18.760
<v Speaker 2>his wonderful wife Penny. I mean, those are things that

1044
00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:20.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, you don't necessarily. I'm sure he's referenced them

1045
00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:23.280
<v Speaker 2>on his show before during his many years in broadcasting,

1046
00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:24.719
<v Speaker 2>but to have to hear him, you know, just have

1047
00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:26.880
<v Speaker 2>conversations with him as a friend, as a colleague, and

1048
00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:30.440
<v Speaker 2>get perspective from him on that aspect of life. It's

1049
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:33.519
<v Speaker 2>been so valuable to me as a father and a

1050
00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:36.800
<v Speaker 2>husband myself. So you know, I know they tell you, you know,

1051
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:39.360
<v Speaker 2>you be careful if you meet, you know, people you

1052
00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:41.800
<v Speaker 2>look up to or people that you idolize, And I

1053
00:44:41.800 --> 00:44:44.039
<v Speaker 2>don't know if I ever idolized Tony Cruz in that way,

1054
00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:46.079
<v Speaker 2>just because you know, by the time I really wanted

1055
00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:47.880
<v Speaker 2>to get into this, he'd already moved on from sports.

1056
00:44:48.440 --> 00:44:52.639
<v Speaker 2>But I am so happy to know him because I

1057
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:54.599
<v Speaker 2>know a lot more than just you know him as

1058
00:44:54.639 --> 00:44:56.840
<v Speaker 2>a broadcaster, and he's he's been good to me, and

1059
00:44:56.920 --> 00:45:01.039
<v Speaker 2>I hope he has a lot of fun and hope

1060
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:02.960
<v Speaker 2>he sleeps in a lot on his retirement, because my man,

1061
00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:05.159
<v Speaker 2>that's an early wake up call. For twenty straight years,

1062
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:08.559
<v Speaker 2>three o'clock in the morning. Yikes, But again, congrats to

1063
00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:12.719
<v Speaker 2>mister Kruz and looking forward to the last however many

1064

1065
00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:17.840
<v Speaker 2>which will be a lot of fun. But it'll be

1066
00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:19.719
<v Speaker 2>here before you know it too. All right, quick break,

1067
