00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>will be seven hours of radio for me today. It's

19
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>dedicated to the game. I mean that, you know, love

20
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:07.879
<v Speaker 2>this love this stuff a little bit more muscular. I

21
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 2>wanted to do ten today, but they said no, you

22
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 2>got to go home. Yeah, they're gonna kick me out

23
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:12.359
<v Speaker 2>of here.

24
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 3>They've got to drag you out of here.

25
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.879
<v Speaker 2>But when I saw yesterday so many people being rescued

26
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.359
<v Speaker 2>by the first responder boats that look, you know, I'm

27
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 2>sure they're not literally just like blow up boats, but

28
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 2>they kind of look like it, right, Uh, you know,

29
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:27.519
<v Speaker 2>I see that. And then this morning on my way

30
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:29.159
<v Speaker 2>and it was raining pretty good, and I'm like, this

31
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.040
<v Speaker 2>cannot be good. But then you know, it sounds like

32
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 2>we've had some good sunshine. But then, you know, I

33
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.760
<v Speaker 2>go to De Mark with a Sea and see his

34
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 2>latest update and he's he's scaring me again. That's what

35
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:39.719
<v Speaker 2>he's good. He's good at it.

36
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 3>He's in his bag.

37
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.840
<v Speaker 2>He is in his bag. But he posted this about

38
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.799
<v Speaker 2>thirty I mean again, this is another example of you

39
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>never know what you're gonna get weather around here this

40
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 2>time of year. But when we get to the caves

41
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 2>that we're in here Austin, like, I just assumed that

42
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:55.799
<v Speaker 2>the weather hasn't changed a whole lot since you know,

43
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 2>I walked in here two and a half hours ago.

44
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 2>But apparently there's like small hail possible in in in

45
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Bullet County on Barchtown Road about thirty minutes ago, and

46
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>then earlier, Mark with the C posted another great example

47
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 2>of the weak mid level wind energy today. Notice the

48
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.719
<v Speaker 2>storm pulsed in the west Louisville and then immediately collapsed,

49
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>generating a new updraft to its southeast. I'm just trying

50
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:21.840
<v Speaker 2>to see what's going on here, Mark, tell me what

51
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 2>we're what we got so apparently there was hail and

52
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 2>shively just within the last hour. So here I am

53
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.599
<v Speaker 2>thinking that it's decent weather and we got we got

54
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:33.039
<v Speaker 2>storms coming through, so stay safe everybody. I mean, I was, uh,

55
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>who was it I was talking to. It's gonna drive

56
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 2>me crazy because it's not even somebody anybody knows, But

57
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>somebody said something that was really like unexpected, but man,

58
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 2>so true. I was given somebody a hard time. Might

59
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:47.280
<v Speaker 2>have been one of the Yeah, it was one of

60
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.759
<v Speaker 2>my buddes who went on our trip with us to

61
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>to uh to Navarre last week for spring break, and

62
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:55.520
<v Speaker 2>he was just talking about how like he never keeps

63
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 2>up with the weather at all, Like he never even

64
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 2>checks it, doesn't like doesn't pay attention. He just you know,

65
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 2>he just you know, doesn't even pay attention, doesn't care

66
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, if he goes outside and it's hot. He

67
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.719
<v Speaker 2>goes in and you know, dresses appropriately that kind of stuff,

68
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, how could you not keep up? And

69
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 2>he he kind of dunked on me, Austin, because he said,

70
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 2>what am I gonna do about it? He's right, Mother

71
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Nature's gonna do what she's gonna do. True, and no reading,

72
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.120
<v Speaker 2>and there's no reason to worry about it. Although you know,

73
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 2>I will say I'm glad that I, uh, I had

74
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I had my my my phone in front of me

75
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 2>because when we were driving through Nashville. I mean, I again,

76
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm not following anybody who covers Nashville weather. And we're

77
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>driving back from Florida, and I mean quite literally, like

78
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>a tornado, you know, small tornado comes through downtown Nashville,

79
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:41.719
<v Speaker 2>like we're right there on the interstate next to it,

80
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>and we didn't never known had it not been for

81
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 2>like the iPhone that goes off automatically if you're if

82
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>you you know, knows your location and you're near where

83
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.840
<v Speaker 2>there's as a tornado warning, and uh, you know, we

84
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.680
<v Speaker 2>took cover. And by the way, I did pull up

85
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:55.680
<v Speaker 2>YouTube TV on my phone to kind of because I

86
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 2>knew if I went to local channels on YouTube TV

87
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.280
<v Speaker 2>while in Nashville, it'll it'll pick up where you are

88
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>and show those local channels. And Mark's got a got

89
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>a competitor in Nashville. Oh, a female meteorologist. Got to

90
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you. She was a little more dramatic

91
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.080
<v Speaker 2>than than Mark. What she now again, she was actually

92
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 2>talking about a real tornado that was in fact, like

93
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, happening that she needed to make everybody aware of.

94
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 3>But do you remember her name was? It was it

95
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 3>Katie with the sea.

96
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.279

123
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.279

150
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.000
<v Speaker 2>sport coats off, sleeves are rolled up. You know a

151
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a sweat, you know, like a little

152
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.600
<v Speaker 2>bit of a sweat in the brow hair is starting

153
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:55.199
<v Speaker 2>to come ungelled. And what what I love about meteorology

154
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:59.800
<v Speaker 2>is that there's a cattiness to it, right, Like they

155
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.439
<v Speaker 2>don't really like publicly feud with one another, but they

156
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.480
<v Speaker 2>very Twitter has really exposed that. You wouldn't know as

157
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.360
<v Speaker 2>much if you just watched them on TV. But like,

158
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 2>there'll be people that know what what Mark with a

159
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 2>C is saying, and they want to they want to counter,

160
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.920
<v Speaker 2>like they want to basically maybe say the same thing

161
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 2>but throw a little bit of a different twist so

162
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.279
<v Speaker 2>they could potentially, you know, be right, like there's a

163
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:24.439
<v Speaker 2>Caddy seventh grade girl, Uh, you know, component to some

164
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>some meteorology beef that's out there, and I'm maybe it's

165
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 2>a stretch to call it beef, but you know, they

166
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 2>take what they like and I can respect it. I

167
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.160
<v Speaker 2>don't like being, you know, scared to where I think

168
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna maybe you know, die, but you know, in

169
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.120
<v Speaker 2>fact I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die, Like, you know,

170
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:40.319
<v Speaker 2>it'd be nice to get a heads up so I

171
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.560
<v Speaker 2>could take cover. But like sometimes when mother Nature's decided

172
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 2>what she's gonna do, we just got to accept it.

173
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.199
<v Speaker 2>But all in all, and I mean this, and I'm

174
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.839
<v Speaker 2>being very sincere. I can always appreciate somebody who takes

175
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.319
<v Speaker 2>what they do seriously. Yeah times, maybe too seriously. But

176
00:07:55.600 --> 00:08:00.240
<v Speaker 2>think about this. If you go to a maybe this

177
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:01.639
<v Speaker 2>is in the best example, but I was actually telling

178
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.240
<v Speaker 2>this to somebody the other day. If you go to

179
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:09.000
<v Speaker 2>a restaurant, a fast food place, sit down, whatever it

180
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.480
<v Speaker 2>may be, and your experience like is good all the

181
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.839
<v Speaker 2>way around. Where you got your food on time, it

182
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.800
<v Speaker 2>was delicious, it was exactly what you ordered. You didn't

183
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 2>have to wait too long for the waiter or waitress

184
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:23.920
<v Speaker 2>to bring you another beer or a coke, whatever it

185
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:27.519
<v Speaker 2>may be. Like, your service was really good, but it

186
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.360
<v Speaker 2>was just because of what was done, not because of

187
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.960
<v Speaker 2>any type of like emotion or energy from the person,

188
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.759
<v Speaker 2>because really that's ultimately what matters. But I will say,

189
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how you could argue against this if

190
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.519
<v Speaker 2>you get the same exact service when it comes to

191
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:44.360
<v Speaker 2>like again what I just said. Your food's good, it's

192
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:46.679
<v Speaker 2>made to order, it's fresh, you're you're not looking around

193
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:51.120
<v Speaker 2>for your server, but one is way more clearly happy

194
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.720
<v Speaker 2>to be doing it than the other. You will notice

195
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.840
<v Speaker 2>that every single time you will leave now again, if

196
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:58.519
<v Speaker 2>you had great service and the waiter what, you know,

197
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.279
<v Speaker 2>chummy and happy, that's okay too. You're not gonna believe

198
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.799
<v Speaker 2>thinking that service was terrible. But if it's good and

199
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.600
<v Speaker 2>then somebody just looks like they're you know, they're enjoying

200
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 2>what they do and they know they're good at it,

201
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 2>like that goes a long way. So people who do

202
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 2>meteorology meteorologists, I should say people who do people who

203
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:17.200
<v Speaker 2>do weather. I'm sure that's not the right way to

204
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 2>describe it. You know, what they do is very important

205
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.279
<v Speaker 2>and they take themselves serious, and I can respect that.

206
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.960
<v Speaker 2>But sometimes, you know, sometimes it's a little much.

207
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.759
<v Speaker 3>Also very thankless job too.

208
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.559
<v Speaker 4>It's because no like you can just get back on

209
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.759
<v Speaker 4>the internet and say, boom, see told you we did

210
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.080
<v Speaker 4>get smacked with eight inches of snow or no.

211
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:38.519
<v Speaker 2>You're spot on. You never ever are even acknowledged or

212
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.399
<v Speaker 2>even nobody knows if you get it right. But if

213
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.320
<v Speaker 2>you get it wrong even a little bit, you're getting crushed.

214
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:46.519
<v Speaker 2>And that's why if you remember when we got that

215
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 2>big winter storm in January, I probably overcompensated, but I

216
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:51.879
<v Speaker 2>did go out of my way to say, look, we're

217
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.080
<v Speaker 2>going to crush them when they're wrong, but when they're right,

218
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.759
<v Speaker 2>like because if you remember, everybody was pretty consistent for

219
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.919
<v Speaker 2>the most part about what they were projecting was gonna happen,

220
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:04.000
<v Speaker 2>and it was exactly what happened, like to a t

221
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.759
<v Speaker 2>the amount of snow we got, the time that it started,

222
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.480
<v Speaker 2>how long it would last. So you know, I'll give

223
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:12.639
<v Speaker 2>him some credit. Sometimes they get it right and they

224
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:14.559
<v Speaker 2>need they need acknowledgement. If we're gonna crush him wh

225
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.279
<v Speaker 2>they're wrong, let's prop them up when they get it right.

226
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.600
<v Speaker 2>All right. The big news today Pat Kelsey got a

227
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 2>contract extension, he got a raise, and that's good news

228
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.000
<v Speaker 2>all the way around. He is now making three point

229
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 2>six million dollars per year and that's a bump from

230
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.759
<v Speaker 2>his two point three million dollar contract that he signed

231
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:38.720
<v Speaker 2>last March. And he's also received some uh, I guess

232
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.200
<v Speaker 2>enhanced what do you call him performance bonuses? Right like

233
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:45.320
<v Speaker 2>he'll make the same amount of money for certain accomplishments

234
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:47.759
<v Speaker 2>like acc Coach of the Year, National Coach of the Year.

235
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.960
<v Speaker 2>But there's now some some some bigger incentives built in

236
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.600
<v Speaker 2>as far as uh, you know, if Louisville makes a

237
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.399
<v Speaker 2>if Louisville makes a final four, he will receive a

238
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 2>let's see, the final four is a two hundred and

239
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:07.039
<v Speaker 2>fifty thousand dollars bonus, and then he'll receive also, I

240
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.600
<v Speaker 2>think I'm reading this correctly, he'll receive a four hundred

241
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.279
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars base increase, and he can get that up

242
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:14.799
<v Speaker 2>to two times. So if he makes a final.

243
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.360
<v Speaker 3>Four, face big bass.

244
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.559
<v Speaker 2>If he makes two final fours, he's going to be

245
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.759
<v Speaker 2>making eight hundred thousand dollars more a year. I have

246
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:22.559
<v Speaker 2>been to think that if he makes one final four,

247
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 2>he'll get a new contract making him a lot more

248
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.960
<v Speaker 2>money than he makes now, or he won't be our coach. Right.

249
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.240
<v Speaker 2>I hate and again I probably was a little. I

250
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.679
<v Speaker 2>tried my best. It was probably a terrible segment, not

251
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:36.559
<v Speaker 2>that I do many great ones, but I don't think

252
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.480
<v Speaker 2>anybody's done anything wrong. This all in all is good news.

253
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:42.399
<v Speaker 2>But I would be a liar if I didn't share

254
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 2>what I thought, and I think that's my job. I'm

255
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.519
<v Speaker 2>supposed to share my opinions. It really did, like I

256
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:47.960
<v Speaker 2>just we knew this was going to happen. He was

257
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.440
<v Speaker 2>going to get a contract extension. Josh was actually on

258
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.559
<v Speaker 2>with Terry Miners, a few weeks ago, and and you know,

259
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.240
<v Speaker 2>flat out said we're working on it, and they got

260
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.960
<v Speaker 2>it done. But I just assume this this raise would

261
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.279
<v Speaker 2>put him between four and five, and he's not far

262
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.320
<v Speaker 2>from four, but he's still not a top thirty paid

263
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:08.200
<v Speaker 2>coach in college basketball. And that I don't say that

264
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.600
<v Speaker 2>to say like, oh, that's an issue. Somebody's got to

265
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.879
<v Speaker 2>fix this right now, because you know, it's just it's

266
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Louisville is paying him probably the best that they can,

267
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:21.240
<v Speaker 2>right and I hope that he understands that. I think

268
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.960
<v Speaker 2>that he understands that. So again he got a big

269
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:27.159
<v Speaker 2>bump and pay, and I'm glad somebody reminded me of this.

270
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:28.759
<v Speaker 2>I kind of talked about it earlier, but on the

271
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.679
<v Speaker 2>text line, somebody mentioned he just got a one million

272
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.720
<v Speaker 2>dollar raise, whereas he probably never made anything close to

273
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:37.799
<v Speaker 2>a million dollars anywhere else he's ever coached. So when

274
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:40.399
<v Speaker 2>you look at you know, the latter he's climbed in

275
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.039
<v Speaker 2>the last three four years. My man's doing really well.

276
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.080
<v Speaker 2>But Louisville paying a coach who they really like and

277
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.720
<v Speaker 2>want to keep forever. And hope, you know, again, it's

278
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:51.679
<v Speaker 2>just one season, but right now there's momentum. Not only

279
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.080
<v Speaker 2>has he put a good team together in his first season,

280
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:55.759
<v Speaker 2>he's now got a team in year two that is

281
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.159
<v Speaker 2>believed to be by those who covered college basketball, one

282
00:12:58.200 --> 00:12:59.759
<v Speaker 2>of the top ten teams in the country right now.

283
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:04.159
<v Speaker 2>And Louisville clearly, you know knows that, and we last

284
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.879
<v Speaker 2>I checked, we you know, we care about basketball as much,

285
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.840
<v Speaker 2>if not more than anybody around here in college basketball,

286
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:13.200
<v Speaker 2>certainly up there. So I just to me, it really

287
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.240
<v Speaker 2>stands out that many I know they love him, I

288
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:18.320
<v Speaker 2>know they don't want to lose him, but that raise

289
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.440
<v Speaker 2>and pay I just I happen to believe that it's

290
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.279
<v Speaker 2>more so just the best they can do than okay,

291
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:23.879
<v Speaker 2>we'll give you a little bit of something for a

292
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:28.320
<v Speaker 2>good first year. But I could be totally wrong. Josh Hurd,

293
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.200
<v Speaker 2>I will say this he I don't want to speak

294
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:32.559
<v Speaker 2>for him, and I don't even want to insinuate that

295
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.080
<v Speaker 2>like this is this is something I believe. I'm just

296
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:37.600
<v Speaker 2>throwing it out There is just this scenario that isn't

297
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.759
<v Speaker 2>that crazy. Maybe he is saying, look, this is this

298
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.639
<v Speaker 2>is a this is a good bump for him after

299
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:45.720
<v Speaker 2>one year, and will continue to evaluate it on a

300
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.320
<v Speaker 2>year by your basis and make right as we need to.

301
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.840
<v Speaker 2>And if that's the case, then you know that makes

302
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.039
<v Speaker 2>sense given that Louisville is still paying any Payne a

303
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of money to not coach them. They just got done,

304
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:59.120
<v Speaker 2>I believe, paying Chris mac not to coach, and they

305
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.440
<v Speaker 2>are also dealing with they revenue shortfall where they did

306
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:03.519
<v Speaker 2>not have anybody buying tickets and showing up to games

307
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.159
<v Speaker 2>like we're used to around here. So clearly finances are

308
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:08.960
<v Speaker 2>not in great shape because of the basketball program in

309
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.879
<v Speaker 2>the previous regime that we had. So maybe this is

310
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:14.600
<v Speaker 2>just the best they can do, or maybe, you know,

311
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Josh is one of these ads that's gonna maybe change

312
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:21.720
<v Speaker 2>sort of how it's done, or maybe he's going to

313
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:25.559
<v Speaker 2>be unique compared to others and not give unnecessary extensions

314
00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.399
<v Speaker 2>and raises. This was clearly necessary. I think you needed

315
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:30.240
<v Speaker 2>to give Pat a bump. I think he earned it,

316
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.360
<v Speaker 2>and clearly he agreed to it, he signed, and I

317
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.639
<v Speaker 2>assume he's really happy. But Josh Heard did something that

318
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:43.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of athletic directors would not do. And when

319
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:45.840
<v Speaker 2>I say this, people act like I'm criticizing Josh Hurt,

320
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:49.799
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not. It's just the facts, Josh Heard or

321
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:55.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, Josh Magoo could have been the athletic director.

322
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:56.960
<v Speaker 2>And I still think Jeff Brown would have been the

323
00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:59.639
<v Speaker 2>coach here. That's not a criticism of Josh Heard, that's

324
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:03.399
<v Speaker 2>just that's just the situation. Jeff Brohm, he wanted to

325
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:06.039
<v Speaker 2>come home to Louisville and it was time. But what

326
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.480
<v Speaker 2>led to the job opening is where I give Josh

327
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:11.039
<v Speaker 2>Hurt a lot of credit. Most athletic directors would have

328
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:14.080
<v Speaker 2>been scared of Jimmy Sexton, Scott Satterfield's agent, and they

329
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:20.279
<v Speaker 2>would have given Scott Saderfield that unneeded extension and we

330
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:23.240
<v Speaker 2>all know it wasn't worthy. But if it would have happened,

331
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I probably wouldn't even have wouldn't even have been that critical.

332
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:27.639
<v Speaker 2>I probably would have because I was really out on Saderfield.

333
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:29.639
<v Speaker 2>But like it's kind of just the cost of doing business.

334
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:31.200
<v Speaker 2>That's how this works, right, Like, if you've got a

335
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.039
<v Speaker 2>coach going up in their final year of their contract,

336
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:35.679
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna tell you how can I recruit? How can

337
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I build a staff when you guys aren't committed to

338
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.720
<v Speaker 2>me after one just one more year? And it's a

339
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:42.799
<v Speaker 2>legitimate point, but you can't use that to just get

340
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:45.799
<v Speaker 2>like that that's a bad way of doing business, right, Like, yeah,

341
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.279
<v Speaker 2>you're right, but like you think you've you think you've

342
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:54.000
<v Speaker 2>earned more money in more years on your deal. Because

343
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:55.600
<v Speaker 2>if you feel like that, that's what you lead with.

344
00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:57.879
<v Speaker 2>If you're leading with, how am I supposed to recruit, Well,

345
00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:01.480
<v Speaker 2>it's because you're not good enough. You know, if you

346
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.480
<v Speaker 2>were good enough, the contract would have already been done

347
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:04.919
<v Speaker 2>and everybody would know you're going to be here for

348
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:07.519
<v Speaker 2>long haul. So that led to Scott Siderfield realizing I

349
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:09.000
<v Speaker 2>got to go find it because, to be fair, he

350
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:11.600
<v Speaker 2>would not have been able to succeed in any way

351
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.480
<v Speaker 2>if he didn't get a new contract because his staff

352
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:16.279
<v Speaker 2>was already falling apart because they were told he wasn't

353
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:19.480
<v Speaker 2>going to get a new deal. And honestly, like we

354
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.000
<v Speaker 2>never saw Scott Siderfield coach without Malie Cunningham as quarterback,

355
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:25.480
<v Speaker 2>never developed one here. So I bring all this up

356
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:28.480
<v Speaker 2>to say, you know, Josh did something then that I

357
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:30.519
<v Speaker 2>still think would be rare to do now, and it

358
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:32.799
<v Speaker 2>certainly was rare then. So maybe he's just going to

359
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:34.480
<v Speaker 2>be a little bit more mindful after, you know, learning

360
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:36.879
<v Speaker 2>the hard way that and I don't even know who.

361
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:39.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's not even worth getting into. But like

362
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Kenny Payne, clearly that was a bad hire, and I

363
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.320
<v Speaker 2>could acknowledge that. I've always said that you should never

364
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:48.720
<v Speaker 2>hire a guy who's never been a head coach at

365
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:50.840
<v Speaker 2>a place like Louisville. But at the time hard for

366
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:52.399
<v Speaker 2>me to be overly critical. Again, I'm not the one

367
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:54.399
<v Speaker 2>making the decision, I'm not qualified. So the guy who

368
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:57.240
<v Speaker 2>did make it, Josh, he was clearly influenced by others.

369
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:58.919
<v Speaker 2>He wouldn't say it, but we all know he was

370
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:02.840
<v Speaker 2>hiring Kenny alone. Was again, like, clearly a decision that

371
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:04.839
<v Speaker 2>didn't work out. But what I think was just a

372
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:06.480
<v Speaker 2>real sign of like what are you doing here? Is

373
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:09.079
<v Speaker 2>that why did he need that contract like that? That

374
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:11.440
<v Speaker 2>to me was like insanity. A guy who'd never coached

375
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:13.599
<v Speaker 2>before at all and he had a deal that like

376
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:15.039
<v Speaker 2>And I think what it comes down to is that

377
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.759
<v Speaker 2>Kenny quite literally did not want the job. He told it.

378
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I never actuate he wanted the job. And

379
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.079
<v Speaker 2>then I guess in order to actually get him you

380
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:25.119
<v Speaker 2>had to give him something that he wouldn't turn down,

381
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.640
<v Speaker 2>which was that crazy contract where he was paid a

382
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:31.599
<v Speaker 2>ton of money and had a crazy buyout. So maybe

383
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:33.279
<v Speaker 2>it's just Josh being a little bit more, you know,

384
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.519
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more mindful of how he's spending money.

385
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:39.359
<v Speaker 2>And if that's the case, makes total sense. But what

386
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:43.880
<v Speaker 2>I really mentioned here and there, as we've talked about

387
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:46.480
<v Speaker 2>this throughout the show today, is that because of what

388
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:52.519
<v Speaker 2>happened prior to to p K, you're now here still

389
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:58.039
<v Speaker 2>in what I believe is unfamiliar territory. That if, in fact,

390
00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:06.240
<v Speaker 2>let me just give you a hypothetical, Let's say who's

391
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:09.960
<v Speaker 2>a who's a really which coach right now has like

392
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:14.680
<v Speaker 2>all the juice, like like real, like not just like good,

393
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:17.519
<v Speaker 2>but like momentum like this guy, man, he's right like

394
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:18.799
<v Speaker 2>Todd Golden.

395
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:19.119
<v Speaker 3>Todd Golden.

396
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Let's say that the Denver Nuggets decided they want Todd Golden,

397
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:28.920
<v Speaker 2>and let's say Florida's like, all right, we picked Todd

398
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Golden from the likes of San Francisco. Let's go get

399
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Pat Kelsey. Yeah, he's at Louisville, but they're paying him

400
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:38.559
<v Speaker 2>three point six million. We can triple that. We wouldn't,

401
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 2>but we can double that, and it's not a big

402
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:42.880
<v Speaker 2>deal because we're Florida we're in the sec we got

403
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:46.359
<v Speaker 2>we got bags of money. It's just unfamiliar territory to

404
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:48.319
<v Speaker 2>know that a school can look at Louisville and say, oh,

405
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.240
<v Speaker 2>we'll double their offer. Now, Louisville I don't think would

406
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.200
<v Speaker 2>ever let him leave. I think they would find money

407
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:55.359
<v Speaker 2>to match any offer that he got. But again, like

408
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Louisville's never been in a position where we have ever

409
00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:59.720
<v Speaker 2>had to worry about our coach, Like when Danny turned

410
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.480
<v Speaker 2>down you cla and then you went from Denny to

411
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Rick Patino. I mean, it was always possible, but it

412
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.160
<v Speaker 2>would take a really unusual circumstance for you to lose

413
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:11.240
<v Speaker 2>your coach to another school because Louisville is one of

414
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:14.079
<v Speaker 2>the one of the premier programs. It's not the best job,

415
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:17.200
<v Speaker 2>but it's in the top ten certainly maybe top five.

416
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:20.720
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, you know, even if like Kansas opened and

417
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:25.279
<v Speaker 2>you're at Kentucky or vice versa, yes you could make

418
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:27.680
<v Speaker 2>the case that Kentucky's better, but you're at Kansas, like,

419
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you really want to rock if they want you,

420
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:32.319
<v Speaker 2>You're doing really well. You know, it's just not worth

421
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:36.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, shaking things up. So again, I don't think

422
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Louisvill's in any potential danger of losing Pat Kelsey, because again,

423
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.160
<v Speaker 2>I think they're doing the best they can and if

424
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:43.119
<v Speaker 2>an offer came in that Josh Urd knows. Hey, my

425
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:45.119
<v Speaker 2>job now is to retain this guy that we know

426
00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:47.759
<v Speaker 2>has gone up to a great start of getting this

427
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 2>thing turned around. All right, real quick, we'll talk about

428
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:51.759
<v Speaker 2>this on the other side. We got to get to

429
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:52.920
<v Speaker 2>a break, bet. I do at least want to share

430
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:54.599
<v Speaker 2>the news that was put out there just within the

431
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:58.200
<v Speaker 2>last twenty minutes by Jeff Goodman that Louisville and Indiana

432
00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:02.160
<v Speaker 2>are going to play a non conference basketball game coming

433
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:05.799
<v Speaker 2>up this season, So Pat Kelcey versus Darien Debris. It'll

434
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:09.359
<v Speaker 2>be on December sixth, that Gamebridge Arena in Indianapolis, the

435
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:12.680
<v Speaker 2>arena of the Pacers. So love this non conference matchup,

436
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:16.000
<v Speaker 2>and Louisville needs as many of these as they can

437
00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:18.119
<v Speaker 2>get if the ACC is like it was last year.

438
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:19.480
<v Speaker 2>And I don't even know if Indiana is going to

439
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.920
<v Speaker 2>be any good, But all I know is last year

440
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:25.240
<v Speaker 2>it bent that ass over at the Bahamas. I mean,

441
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:30.160
<v Speaker 2>that was problem me. I'm sure you know Indiana. They

442
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:31.960
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of other lumps along the way. But

443
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.079
<v Speaker 2>like that was the first time Indiana fans, all right,

444
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:36.920
<v Speaker 2>we try to convince ourselves Mike Woodson was going to

445
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:39.880
<v Speaker 2>be the guy and then Pat Kelsey showed up dunked

446
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:40.240
<v Speaker 2>on him.

447
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:43.279
<v Speaker 4>Wait a minute, you're not taking into account this recruiting

448
00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:47.200
<v Speaker 4>class at Deverrises as that debris is bringing in, Like

449
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:54.119
<v Speaker 4>you can there occasion. These guys are fundamental, very tough

450
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:58.519
<v Speaker 4>minded and deceivingly athletic. And yes, deceivingly athletic. Okay, so

451
00:20:58.599 --> 00:20:59.799
<v Speaker 4>you don't disparage those.

452
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.000
<v Speaker 2>He's got a type of those who don't know my

453
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:06.160
<v Speaker 2>man Devrez has added three transfers in the portal and

454
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:08.839
<v Speaker 2>live being wrong with it. But like it's a noticeable thing.

455
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:11.400
<v Speaker 2>All Caucasians doesn't mean they can't ball. I mean there's

456
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:13.720
<v Speaker 2>a lot of good Caucasian hoopers out there. Cooper Flag,

457
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:17.000
<v Speaker 2>you kidding me? But Nick Coffee, I don't know about that,

458
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:20.319
<v Speaker 2>but I appreciate the compliment. There you go, I like

459
00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:22.480
<v Speaker 2>being you know, not nothing wrong with you know, I'm

460
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:24.559
<v Speaker 2>never gonna be complaining about getting gassed up here. All right,

461
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:26.680
<v Speaker 2>so let's take a break. We'll talk about this matchup

462
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:28.240
<v Speaker 2>that we're gonna have on the other side, because I

463
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:30.480
<v Speaker 2>do think more games like this is good for college hoops.

464
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:34.359
<v Speaker 2>And also Eric Crawford pointed out something from Josh Hurts

465
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Press conference day that I want to discuss. It's regarding

466
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:38.039
<v Speaker 2>conference re alignments. So again, we don't have a whole

467
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:39.519
<v Speaker 2>lot of time left, but stick around. We're going to

468
00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:40.799
<v Speaker 2>make the most of what we have right here on

469
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Sports Talk seven ninety.

470
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

471
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

472
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Like Snoop Dog's got to be one of those guys that, like,

473
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.720
<v Speaker 2>no matter what they do, people are just gonna say, yes,

474
00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:00.200
<v Speaker 2>he Snoops the cool like Snoop Dolly Parton, like and

475
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.640
<v Speaker 2>compare them for a lot of reasons obviously, but like

476
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:05.279
<v Speaker 2>they seem to be like I don't think their run's

477
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:08.279
<v Speaker 2>ever running out, right, Like they're they're legendary.

478
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.920
<v Speaker 4>He's He's him and Martha Stewart and like you said,

479
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:14.960
<v Speaker 4>Dolly are going to have that. Uh I know, Martha

480
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.079
<v Speaker 4>Stewart's not a not a musician, musician, but like they're

481
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:21.519
<v Speaker 4>going to have that. The run doesn't end, Yes, it's

482
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:24.160
<v Speaker 4>just gonna stay relevant exactly Like and then now he's

483
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:26.200
<v Speaker 4>kind of dipping into this country because that's his new

484
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:30.359
<v Speaker 4>latest song with Ernest. He's doing whatever he can to uh,

485
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:32.799
<v Speaker 4>you know, make money, that's right, And he's making a

486
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:34.440
<v Speaker 4>lot because he's you know, he's the Snoop do O

487
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:37.599
<v Speaker 4>double G. He's always going to like as long as

488
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:40.400
<v Speaker 4>he's alive, he is always going to be like one

489
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:43.599
<v Speaker 4>of the first people that these big companies go for

490
00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:47.480
<v Speaker 4>for like let him be like the MC at this event,

491
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:48.880
<v Speaker 4>or letting him host.

492
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:51.599
<v Speaker 2>This ambassador for your brand so you can afford him

493
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:54.559
<v Speaker 2>like people will do it. Yeah, he's uh, he's a

494
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>legend all right. Speaking of legends, Doctor Wood Louisville Men's

495
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:00.359
<v Speaker 2>Clinic a real legend around here. He's been helping gentlemen

496
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:05.920
<v Speaker 2>like yourself, gentlemen like me with variety of different uh issues,

497
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:07.519
<v Speaker 2>I think is the right way to describe it. I mean,

498
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.039
<v Speaker 2>it's not something that's you know, gonna gonna put you

499
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.880
<v Speaker 2>in in danger, but like, who would who would choose

500
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:19.839
<v Speaker 2>to have a rectiltiest function? Nobody who would choose to

501
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:24.119
<v Speaker 2>not do anything about it when you know you have it.

502
00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Silly people that maybe don't realize that there's folks out

503
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:30.400
<v Speaker 2>there like doctor Wood at the Little of Men's Clinic

504
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:34.960
<v Speaker 2>that can help you, so rectulis function, Perni's disease, low testosterone,

505
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:38.000
<v Speaker 2>weight loss, therapy, hair restoration. There's a lot of services

506
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:40.359
<v Speaker 2>they provide at the Love of Men's Clinic, And uh,

507
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:42.799
<v Speaker 2>you may not even realize that your life could be better.

508
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:45.200
<v Speaker 2>You could be happier and healthier, and the only way

509
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:46.880
<v Speaker 2>to find out is to go have a conversation with him.

510
00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:48.519
<v Speaker 2>So give them a call FABO two four four four

511
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:51.359
<v Speaker 2>four thousand. Little Men's Clinic dot com is the website.

512
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Tell them we sent you, and uh, I think you'll

513
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:55.759
<v Speaker 2>be happy that you did. All right, so real quick,

514
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:58.119
<v Speaker 2>not a whole lot of time left. But earlier today

515
00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Josh Hurt had his press conference to discussed a variety

516
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.720
<v Speaker 2>of things, one being Pat Kelsey's contract extension, as he

517
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:07.559
<v Speaker 2>is now making a lot more than he did a

518
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.759
<v Speaker 2>year ago, a million more. But you know, as we've discussed,

519
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:13.079
<v Speaker 2>at least I've discussed, I just I just assumed it'd

520
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:15.519
<v Speaker 2>be higher. But again, I'm sure they're doing what's most

521
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.480
<v Speaker 2>responsible for the university because obviously they're still paying for

522
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:20.480
<v Speaker 2>what happened. And you know, the last time they hired

523
00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:23.279
<v Speaker 2>a coach prior to PK. But another thing that Eric

524
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Crawford pointed out is that, and I'll just read Eric's

525
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:29.000
<v Speaker 2>tweet directly. It's it's probably the first time I've heard

526
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Josh heard talking an Open Athletic Association meeting about anticipating

527
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.079
<v Speaker 2>further conference realignment shifts quote when TV contracts run out,

528
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.880
<v Speaker 2>and working to propose working to position Louisville to be

529
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:45.039
<v Speaker 2>on the right side of that shift. So I didn't

530
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:49.160
<v Speaker 2>hear Josh today, but I've always noticed whenever and this

531
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:51.920
<v Speaker 2>isn't a criticism, this is what probably most athletic directors do.

532
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:55.079
<v Speaker 2>But anytime the ACC's future would be brought up, obviously

533
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:58.359
<v Speaker 2>there's been some drama. There was the lawsuit with Clemson

534
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:02.240
<v Speaker 2>in Florida State, and you're locked in till twenty thirty six,

535
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:05.200
<v Speaker 2>whereas the other conferences are just you know, they're going

536
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:06.720
<v Speaker 2>to be able to re up a couple of times

537
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:09.480
<v Speaker 2>and make even more money than you're making now. They

538
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:11.839
<v Speaker 2>they did make a change to where you can actually

539
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:14.759
<v Speaker 2>earn more depending upon results and performance, which is the

540
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:16.200
<v Speaker 2>way it should be. In fact, I think you're actually

541
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:18.160
<v Speaker 2>going to see that be the next wave. I think

542
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:20.880
<v Speaker 2>the ACC believe it or not, Jim Phillips did do

543
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:23.720
<v Speaker 2>something that will become a trend which is realized, you know,

544
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:27.240
<v Speaker 2>especially when you got twenty million annually. Now you've got

545
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:30.039
<v Speaker 2>to share revenue. That could be the thing to where

546
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Alabama's no longer cool with Vandy getting the same cut

547
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:36.240
<v Speaker 2>from the SEC. Right, So there have been some improvements made,

548
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:39.119
<v Speaker 2>but Josh's usually just been like, you know, we value

549
00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:40.880
<v Speaker 2>our conference. He's just given you the which you would

550
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:43.880
<v Speaker 2>typically hear an athletic director say who was speaking positively

551
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:46.039
<v Speaker 2>about the conference. So I'm not saying he didn't speak

552
00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:50.039
<v Speaker 2>positively today, but at least mentioned making sure Louisville is

553
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:53.440
<v Speaker 2>prepared to be on the right side when that shift

554
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:58.319
<v Speaker 2>happens and the TV contracts. You know, here's what worries

555
00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:01.240
<v Speaker 2>me about that Louisville could make some some drastic improvements.

556
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, louis was already in a pretty good spot athletically.

557
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you just played in the AEC Championship game

558
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:07.960
<v Speaker 2>two years ago in football, you played in the AEC

559
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Championship in basketball, So when it comes to the ACC,

560
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:13.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, leftovers. If in fact the league gets rated,

561
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:15.039
<v Speaker 2>you're not going to be first in line, but you

562
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:17.160
<v Speaker 2>may not be far from it, right, I mean, you

563
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:19.200
<v Speaker 2>have a big reach, believe it or not. Your football

564
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:21.440
<v Speaker 2>viewership is up there towards the top of the league.

565
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:24.720
<v Speaker 2>It's not number one, but you know, you're you're pretty

566
00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:26.440
<v Speaker 2>you're doing pretty well when it comes to you know,

567
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:31.119
<v Speaker 2>the rest of your league. Now, again, what really factors

568
00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:33.680
<v Speaker 2>in is always seemingly inconsistent as far as what leagues

569
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.160
<v Speaker 2>would really want when they do out, when they do expand,

570
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:39.559
<v Speaker 2>but that ship is eventually going to happen. But when

571
00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:42.160
<v Speaker 2>the TV contracts run out in the SEC and the

572
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Big ten and they re up, and they maybe want

573
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:48.720
<v Speaker 2>to expand to add more money. If you're in the ACC,

574
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.599
<v Speaker 2>like it's twenty thirty six until you can leave, you

575
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:55.440
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean. So I just I still believe

576
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:59.640
<v Speaker 2>the ACC. Whatever happens, the benefit is that they're all

577
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:05.039
<v Speaker 2>stuck together because nobody's gonna be able to leave. I mean, yeah,

578
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:06.839
<v Speaker 2>they did reduce I guess what it cost to get

579
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:09.160
<v Speaker 2>out of the conference, but it's still not a reasonable

580
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:12.680
<v Speaker 2>or realistic thing for seemingly any school unless they went

581
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:14.720
<v Speaker 2>out and got like private funding to take care of it,

582
00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:17.319
<v Speaker 2>which I guess is possible. But again, I just I

583
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:19.400
<v Speaker 2>think Eric was spot on that. You know, Josh usually

584
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:21.160
<v Speaker 2>doesn't even mention that, and he wasn't asked. He just

585
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:26.960
<v Speaker 2>mentioned that they're working to make sure that the athletics

586
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:30.960
<v Speaker 2>department is solid successful, gaining momentum to where when you

587
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:32.400
<v Speaker 2>do get to that point and there is sort of

588
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:35.559
<v Speaker 2>a divide, has Josh said a shift that you're you're

589
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:38.799
<v Speaker 2>on the right side of it, all right? Uh? Rick

590
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Patino year one in saane A, year two, I should

591
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:43.440
<v Speaker 2>say and say at Saint John's was was successful. They

592
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:46.599
<v Speaker 2>fell short in the tournament, and of all teams to

593
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:50.680
<v Speaker 2>send Patino in Saint John's home, it was Calipari and Arkansas,

594
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:54.920
<v Speaker 2>which I'm sure is still a real, you know, a

595
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:56.559
<v Speaker 2>real issue for Rick. I mean, he can say what

596
00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:59.680
<v Speaker 2>he wants, but that of all of all coaches to

597
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:01.519
<v Speaker 2>endure season, you never want your season to end at all.

598
00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:04.240
<v Speaker 2>But like, there's no way there could be a coach

599
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.759
<v Speaker 2>who who would have been further behind Caliperry as far

600
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:09.440
<v Speaker 2>as the list of coaches that you would prefer to

601
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:12.359
<v Speaker 2>in your season. So anyways, Rick still has momentum. I

602
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:14.200
<v Speaker 2>think he'll end up putting together another really good team.

603
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:16.279
<v Speaker 2>And we all know he's a great coach, but he's

604
00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:20.200
<v Speaker 2>now in his you know, he's now in where he belongs,

605
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:22.240
<v Speaker 2>I think, and that's New York City, right. He's he's

606
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:27.240
<v Speaker 2>he's a city slicker. He's Ricky p He is not

607
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:29.839
<v Speaker 2>the big ticket in town in New York because you know,

608
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:36.400
<v Speaker 2>they've got pro teams, the Knicks, the Jets, the Yankees,

609
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the Mets. I mean even Brooklyn, like Saint John's is

610
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:44.920
<v Speaker 2>nowhere near a top priority for those who cover sports

611
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:47.640
<v Speaker 2>in that market. It's New York City. However, Patino gives

612
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:50.319
<v Speaker 2>them their best chance of getting some real momentum because

613
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:52.599
<v Speaker 2>they were really good this year, won the Big East

614
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:55.279
<v Speaker 2>for the first time in like forever. And he's Rick Patino.

615
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:58.839
<v Speaker 2>He's a he's he himself is a larger than life

616
00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:02.039
<v Speaker 2>figure within sports that you know, he's still not probably

617
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:03.240
<v Speaker 2>getting the love he'd get if he was in a

618
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:06.039
<v Speaker 2>small market like Louisville. But like, he's Rick Patino, so

619
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:11.480
<v Speaker 2>he would probably be wise to try to, you know,

620
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:17.640
<v Speaker 2>get Yankees fans, Mets fans, Jets fans, Giants fans who

621
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:21.960
<v Speaker 2>have no allegiance or care at all about Saint John's basketball,

622
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:24.079
<v Speaker 2>Like maybe they adopted for the first time in their

623
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:25.960
<v Speaker 2>life as fans because it's New York's team and it's

624
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Rick Patino. But he said something that that you know,

625
00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:32.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't do him any favors as far as getting Yankees

626
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.759
<v Speaker 2>and Mets fans to join in on the red storm.

627
00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:38.640
<v Speaker 2>So I'm reading here from NJ dot com. This is

628
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:44.359
<v Speaker 2>Adam Zagoria, who shared Rick Petina. Let me see where's

629
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:47.880
<v Speaker 2>the quote? Yeah, he asked, he's Rick Petino says he's

630
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:50.359
<v Speaker 2>always been a fan of both the Mets and the Yankees,

631
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:54.400
<v Speaker 2>and and here here is why. Here's why. Here's his

632
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:56.160
<v Speaker 2>explanation to that. This is when I guess he threw

633
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.200
<v Speaker 2>out the first pitch at a Mets game recently.

634
00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:00.759
<v Speaker 4>I think you're on record saying you or both the

635
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:03.680
<v Speaker 4>Yankees and Mets fan, what was the nature of your

636
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:05.640
<v Speaker 4>baseball fan I'm growing up in today.

637
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:09.680
<v Speaker 5>Well, as a kid, I used to go watch Mickey Manno,

638
00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:15.680
<v Speaker 5>Roger Maris even reserves like Hector Lopez, Johnny Blanchet, Kuebec,

639
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.720
<v Speaker 5>Richison Cletis boy, one of a great third basement of

640
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:21.599
<v Speaker 5>all time. White he fought on the mound, Yogi, And

641
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:25.000
<v Speaker 5>you know it's you grow up as a youngster sitting

642
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.000
<v Speaker 5>in the bleach of seats, I think for a dollar

643
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:29.880
<v Speaker 5>eighteen at the time, if I can remember with my

644
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:32.799
<v Speaker 5>two girl cousins while I lived with my grandmother in

645
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:35.839
<v Speaker 5>the Bronx. But I was always a met fan of

646
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:39.599
<v Speaker 5>Kuzman and Siva and going back to Tommy ag and

647
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm one of the few people that rooted for both teams.

648
00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:47.599
<v Speaker 5>Anything with n Y on it, I'm one hundred percent

649
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:48.200
<v Speaker 5>behind it.

650
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.359
<v Speaker 2>So I don't really have any criticism for what he

651
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.799
<v Speaker 2>says there because of the position that he's in. He'd

652
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:58.519
<v Speaker 2>be foolish too. I mean, that's probably the right play,

653
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:01.559
<v Speaker 2>but when you talk about like a rivalry, nobody wants

654
00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:04.359
<v Speaker 2>to hear that, right, Like if you are a Yankees

655
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:06.319
<v Speaker 2>fan and you hear that he also supports the Mets

656
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:09.119
<v Speaker 2>the hell out of here Rick vice versas same thing.

657
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:10.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's probably not something you really care that

658
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:13.279
<v Speaker 2>much about, because you probably don't care about saying Jo's basketball,

659
00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:16.279
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you, But you know, it's it's

660
00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:19.680
<v Speaker 2>like whenever Louisville fans, I don't think it's ever been

661
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:22.559
<v Speaker 2>like a big deal. But Mayor Greenberg, he is a

662
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:25.480
<v Speaker 2>U of L fan for real, Like he is a

663
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:27.720
<v Speaker 2>big supporter of u of L when they're playing Kentucky.

664
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:30.160
<v Speaker 2>He's all in on Louisville. He went to u of L. Like,

665
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:35.480
<v Speaker 2>trust me, Craig is absolutely a Louisville fan for like,

666
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:38.880
<v Speaker 2>no doubt about it. But he's also the mayor of

667
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:41.960
<v Speaker 2>the city that you have a humongous amount of both fans,

668
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:44.279
<v Speaker 2>and he'd be a fool to be out here, you know,

669
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.440
<v Speaker 2>making like acting like he hates UK. So it's just

670
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:51.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of you know, I guess playing the game. But

671
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:53.920
<v Speaker 2>to no surprise, a lot of Yankees and Mets fans

672
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:55.400
<v Speaker 2>were like, yeah, get the hell out of here, because look,

673
00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:58.240
<v Speaker 2>if you live in Louisville or if you just live

674
00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:00.079
<v Speaker 2>if you live around here, you know, and you're in

675
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:04.119
<v Speaker 2>the rivalry. I do believe that there are some that

676
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:08.559
<v Speaker 2>absolutely because I know these people, they're they're you know,

677
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:10.200
<v Speaker 2>if I didn't know them, I wouldn't believe it. But

678
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:12.200
<v Speaker 2>I've known them, and these are real people that you know,

679
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:15.200
<v Speaker 2>have proven me wrong. You can love and be a

680
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:19.279
<v Speaker 2>diehard fan of one and not hate the other. I

681
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:21.400
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you can be a diehard or even

682
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:23.960
<v Speaker 2>like a real big fan of both, I really don't know.

683
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:26.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean I'm sure there are exceptions and you can

684
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:27.680
<v Speaker 2>do whatever you want. I can't prove you wrong. But

685
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.480
<v Speaker 2>like to me, and this is, this is one of

686
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:33.359
<v Speaker 2>the things that makes us unwell as how serious we

687
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:35.680
<v Speaker 2>take it. If you tell me that you are a

688
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:38.400
<v Speaker 2>diehard Louisville fan but you also support UK, I'm gonna

689
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:40.680
<v Speaker 2>tell you this, You're not a diehard Louisville fan. I

690
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:43.920
<v Speaker 2>have no I have no uh you know, I have

691
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:46.039
<v Speaker 2>no authority. I can't rule who is you knew whatever

692
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:47.720
<v Speaker 2>you want, But like to me, I don't know how

693
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:51.400
<v Speaker 2>it would be possible to really love Louisville and honestly

694
00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:54.480
<v Speaker 2>not hope for the worst for Kentucky. I know that

695
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:58.240
<v Speaker 2>sounds so childish and petty, but like, that's what this is, folks,

696
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:00.400
<v Speaker 2>we're nuts about this stuff.

697
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:03.279
<v Speaker 4>What about an instance where it's like, because I've always

698
00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:06.640
<v Speaker 4>heard it to where like I grew up in Lexington

699
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:08.559
<v Speaker 4>all around it, but I went to school at Louisville,

700
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:10.000
<v Speaker 4>so like that's where I graduated.

701
00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:11.279
<v Speaker 3>Cheer for me, I.

702
00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Think those are those are exceptions where it does make

703
00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:15.799
<v Speaker 2>sense to where you don't hate both, but you clearly

704
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:18.400
<v Speaker 2>have to have a preference because if you love them

705
00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:21.279
<v Speaker 2>both the same. You don't meet the energy to like

706
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:24.279
<v Speaker 2>be one of us. Yeah that makes sense. I mean,

707
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:26.079
<v Speaker 2>I again, who am I to say that? But it's

708
00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:28.000
<v Speaker 2>just the way I feel. All Right, Do we have

709
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:29.799
<v Speaker 2>time to take our last break real quickly or do

710
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:31.640
<v Speaker 2>we just want we can't? Okay, quick break, We'll come

711
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:32.759
<v Speaker 2>back and wrap it on the other side.

712
00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and company. Fueled by Thornton's on

713
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:43.319
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

714
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Well things just made a mistake because if you listen

715
00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:52.440
<v Speaker 2>to on podcasts, you just heard me raw there doing

716
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:57.039
<v Speaker 2>a very very awful attempt at it's sounding like Luke Combs,

717
00:33:57.039 --> 00:33:59.519
<v Speaker 2>but it was good. Luke. Luke Combs is one of

718
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:02.119
<v Speaker 2>I love him. It's one of a few. He's the

719
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:03.440
<v Speaker 2>only one I could think of. I know, there's not

720
00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I know there's more than just Luke Combs that it's played,

721
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:06.960
<v Speaker 2>and I just I kind of stopped in my tracks,

722
00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Like this guy's just awesome. He's he's very original, and

723
00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:13.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, he kind of put a stop to you

724
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:17.079
<v Speaker 2>gotta be a pretty boy with you know, girly jeans.

725
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:20.719
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I'm mostly talking about like Luke Bryan,

726
00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:24.039
<v Speaker 2>right like he like like there's nobody, and look, he's

727
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:25.719
<v Speaker 2>a you know, he's he's just a bigger guy. I'm

728
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:27.480
<v Speaker 2>not gonna say he's like a hideous thing to look at.

729
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.239
<v Speaker 2>But like when they when he started writing number one

730
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:33.400
<v Speaker 2>hit after number one hit, they had no choice but

731
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:36.079
<v Speaker 2>to make him, uh you know, one of the top

732
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:39.199
<v Speaker 2>top guys in country music. Right, yeah, I mean he's

733
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:42.880
<v Speaker 2>he's so talented and uh, you know, his story is

734
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:45.519
<v Speaker 2>really genuine too, and he tells at least when I

735
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:47.079
<v Speaker 2>went to sa him in concert, he did about how

736
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:50.320
