WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:06.480 It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on 2 00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:13.640 Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee. 3 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.960 I need to start off the four o'clock hour by 4 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:22.879 apologizing to my partner here, Austin Montgomery. I just really 5 00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:26.600 I forgot that. You know, whenever we we do when 6 00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:31.160 we're working remotely, I turn on my webcam, and you know, 7 00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:33.000 in fact, it's the same thing even if I am 8 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.679 in studio, because if I'm in studio doing the show 9 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.399 in the same building, we're actually in different rooms, so 10 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:40.880 we see each other view through a web through a 11 00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:42.759 camera rather than you know, the window like they used 12 00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:44.840 to do back in the old school rainew days. So 13 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:46.399 whenever I'm at home, it's the same thing. I just 14 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:48.359 pop up on my webcam. Well, I forgot where the 15 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.679 webcam was, and I just realized as I leaned over 16 00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:53.560 to plug in my charger for my phone, and then 17 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.719 I dropped it and I couldn't get it, couldn't get 18 00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.039 it plugged in because it's right next to the outlets, 19 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.399 right by the couch here. I just had my rear 20 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:02.640 in directly in the camera for like thirty seconds. 21 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.000 I did not even pay attention. 22 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:06.799 Oh, man, okay, good, but you're probably thinking, damn it, 23 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.920 he's not gonna yell anyways. I thought. 24 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.840 Just for scientific purposes. 25 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.840 Oh man. So yeah, I didn't realize it. But there's 26 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:20.159 a slight delay when I move fast. So like when 27 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.319 I see my my camera, you know, it's a slight delay. 28 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.239 I don't know why. Maybe it's slow connection. I'm not sure. 29 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:28.480 But when I quickly turned around to sit down, I 30 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:31.000 looked at my camera and it hadn't caught up just yet, 31 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.400 for like a millisecond, I just saw my ass right 32 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:33.879 there on the. 33 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:35.239 Screen a moment. 34 00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:39.120 Yeah, yeah, I do have pants on, but yes, something 35 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.439 like that. So great, let's let's get the second hour 36 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:43.560 started here on a Monday. It's coffee and company, fueled 37 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.599 by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Don't forget. 38 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:47.280 You could take us with you wherever you go. Listen 39 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.519 live on the iHeartRadio app. Also listen live at seven 40 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:54.000 ninety Louisville dot Com. A lot of reacting to the weekend, 41 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.599 and of course a lot of reacting to the weather, 42 00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.159 because we did, in fact get a lot of snow 43 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.200 over these last couple of days. Not only did the 44 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.280 meteorologists I feel like, get it almost exactly right as 45 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.960 far as the amount. They also got the timing down. 46 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.400 I mean, sure enough. I woke up on Sunday morning 47 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:14.759 at about eight thirty and there was already a good 48 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.240 layer of snow on the ground and it really never 49 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:19.960 stopped until later on in the afternoon. And then of 50 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:24.199 course it turned to that sleep freezing rain stuff ice 51 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:27.560 and you know, got colder, and then this morning there 52 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.080 was a good amount of snow that came down. So 53 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.280 obviously that's impacted a lot of people's schedules, and we 54 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:37.360 probably don't have the exact same audience today. But you 55 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.879 know what, maybe we got people that are out working 56 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:42.680 today because they can't take the day off, so they're 57 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.120 still in their daily commute and they still have us 58 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.280 as part of their daily rotation. If that's the case, 59 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.319 thank you. But you know, however, you're listening wherever you're listening, 60 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.080 we appreciate you, and just know you can always listen 61 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.479 live on the iHeartRadio app. I'm gonna keep propping this 62 00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.360 up because I want this to become a huge part 63 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.960 of the show, and that is the talkback feature in 64 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.240 the iHeartRadio app. So again, I know a lot of 65 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.520 you have probably heard me mention enough and you're thinking, 66 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.080 shut the hell up, Nick, we get it, we know 67 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.400 what it is. Well, maybe there's some that weren't paying attention. 68 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.000 So I'm going to remind you once more. If you 69 00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.439 listen to the show on the iHeart Radio app, all 70 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.560 you have to do is click the red button in 71 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.840 the top right little record button, and you can you 72 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.680 can share something with us thirty seconds. You can ask 73 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.840 a question, give a take, You can insult me if 74 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:30.520 you'd like, You can make a joke. I mean, you 75 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.360 really can do whatever. I don't know if it's all 76 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.560 going to be played on the show, but you can 77 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.000 do whatever you want. I want to really make this 78 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.080 a because I think this is great. Not only I mean, 79 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:41.680 I know I sound like a company man here, but 80 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:45.479 like this, this is I think the better way to 81 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:49.639 have interaction from your listeners via their voice, right, like 82 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.120 the text line's great. Twitter. Heck, I used to read 83 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.159 emails on this show until not that long ago, and 84 00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.919 then I realized probably don't need to keep mentioning that 85 00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:58.039 that's a way for you to be a part of 86 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:01.080 the show. But anyways, you know, people just don't call 87 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.199 into shows like they used to, and really it's not 88 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:05.439 great radio at times. Not to say the people who 89 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.960 call our show don't contribute, but it's just, you know 90 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:12.560 it call in talk shows this day and age, like 91 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.840 I would say postgame shows where it's raw and it's 92 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.639 as soon as the game is ended. Like those I 93 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.399 think will always exist in the way that they do 94 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.720 just because of what that medium is. But when it 95 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.879 comes to just wanting to be able to share your 96 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:31.680 opinion with somebody who knows, you know, the subject you're 97 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:36.480 talking about, and they're probably on their platform radio, they're 98 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.519 going to let you share what you think to others 99 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.120 that you know might have a similar opinion or you know, 100 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.079 just are in the know with whatever you're discussing. Back 101 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.879 in the day, long long time ago, you didn't have 102 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.279 a Twitter account that you couldhide behind and just say whatever. 103 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.120 You didn't have social media, The Internet didn't exist. Well, 104 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.920 there was no text line, So like, you know, that's 105 00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.800 how think about this, Austin. If you wanted to share 106 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.480 an opinion on sports with somebody live in real time, 107 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:09.160 reaching other people who have interest in what you know 108 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.319 you have interest in, yeah, the only way to do 109 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.120 it was to call in on a live talk show. 110 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:14.319 Yeah, yeah, because you couldn't. 111 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:15.720 You couldn't. I mean, there's the end of social media. 112 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:17.040 You know, it didn't exist. Like you can go door 113 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:18.319 to door if you want, you can go to a 114 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.480 sports bar where the game's on, but like you know 115 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:22.920 that that clearly is just not where we are anymore. Therefore, 116 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.560 people don't feel the need to pick up the phone 117 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.439 and wait on hold. And I mean people don't even 118 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.120 call anybody anymore, right, like people text yeah so and 119 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.680 again that's why the text line has has certainly become 120 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.600 a huge part of how we interact with listeners of 121 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:37.040 this show. And I know we're not alone, I know 122 00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.680 it's everywhere, but this is because I think there is 123 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.839 something about getting a different voice, different voices I should 124 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.040 say that I think just gives you that feel of 125 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.439 a radio show. And look, we're still going to take calls, 126 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:50.720 trust me, I'm just stating I'm trying to. I think 127 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:52.759 the talkback feature for those that listen live on the 128 00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.360 Art radio app like that could be a convenient way 129 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.079 for people to contribute to the show, and it's easier 130 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.000 for them, and it's easier for us to just hit 131 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.839 play and I can filter through what you know, what 132 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.399 what should be played on the show, that kind of stuff. 133 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.360 So again, you don't even have to sign up for anything. 134 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.120 You don't have to, Like, you don't have to, We don't. 135 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.839 We won't even have your phone number. Like, all I 136 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.480 see is just we've got an eighteen second fourteen second 137 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:19.920 talk back clip and you know, I'll play them during 138 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.160 the break and then decide which ones I feel like, 139 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:24.399 you know, are worthy of hearing. And trust me, you 140 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:25.839 got a better chance of getting on the air if 141 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:27.639 you insult me. That's that's good show fodder. 142 00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:28.079 Man, it's great. 143 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.240 And we don't take ourselves call you a card boy. Yeah, 144 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:31.839 we don't take ourselves too serious around here. 145 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:35.920 So another programming teaser, just because we may for listeners 146 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.319 that definitely want to try to take advantage of the 147 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.920 red talkback mike feature is and we I do it 148 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.600 on my stations too. There's going to be probably giveaways 149 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:46.800 in the future that require you to go on and 150 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.480 use the talkback mike feature, So we do that on 151 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.160 other stations, and that could make its way to seven 152 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:52.759 ninety two. 153 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.240 Austin, you just gave me a great idea. Yeah, because 154 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:57.720 I again, I really want to make this, make this 155 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:01.319 a thing, and there's no better way to do it 156 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.480 than saying, hey, if you want to win tickets to 157 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.519 go see this awesome band that's coming to town, you 158 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.720 want pass this still Louder than Live or something. Yes, 159 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.319 that'll get them. That'll get him using the talk back, 160 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.439 and then it'll just become routine for him, exactly. That'll 161 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.639 next time we have a giveaway. That's what we're doing. Yeah, 162 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.560 you gotta. We'll ask a trivia question and the first 163 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.399 people that can, you know, get the first person that 164 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:23.040 can get through on the talkback with the right answer, 165 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:23.480 then they'll win. 166 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:24.160 So that's right. 167 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.439 Instead of having us battle this guy called first, this 168 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.920 guy called first, does does he even have the right answer? 169 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.360 We just skim through really really quick. 170 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.560 Play this fourteen second clip, eighteen second clip, ten second clip. 171 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:37.560 They can even insult you why they're answering it. 172 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.360 Yeah, oh yeah, I mean again, I'm pretty good at 173 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.839 laughing at myself. I developed that skill at a young 174 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.519 age and probably not good for my mental health. Maybe 175 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.160 it says a lot more about me than I realized, 176 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:49.560 But hey, I am who I am, and at this 177 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.600 point probably not going to change much, you know, I'm 178 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:54.160 getting older. 179 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.480 Iron sharpens iron, all right. 180 00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:02.120 So I mentioned the school closing and how or the 181 00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.839 school closings and how as a kid, I really really 182 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:08.120 enjoyed the thrill of waking up and running to the 183 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:11.079 TV and looking at that bottom ticker. And I knew 184 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.120 they did it in alphabetical order. And I knew once 185 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.519 we got to certain counties like Breckenridge, bullets up next. 186 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.319 What are we getting? I mean, if anything, maybe give 187 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.199 you a two hour delay. Come on, come on, I 188 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.839 need something. I'll just give me something, because I feel 189 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:24.000 like you stuck it to the man. If you got 190 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.959 a snow day, even if it's an hour, yeah, it's 191 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:26.800 kind of feel like you won. 192 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:28.439 It's like you're waiting for your horse to come. 193 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:30.839 Mother nature had your back when you didn't want to 194 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:32.480 go to school for a day or maybe miss an 195 00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.360 hour to whatever it may be. So if we got 196 00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.200 to Carroll County and Bullet wasn't on there, then I 197 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.120 knew I had to. I had to make that long 198 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.600 walk from the living room to the bathroom to get 199 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.919 ready for you know, shower and leave, and it was just, 200 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.919 you know, wasn't fun. So but but on the text line, 201 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.840 you know, I I kind of feel The reason I 202 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:51.840 mentioned my age is that, like I kind of feel 203 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:55.279 like I'm not a boot. You know, there are people 204 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:59.799 that are grown ups, not that much you know, younger 205 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.440 than me, that they didn't even get to experience that 206 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:04.759 because by the time they were in school you could 207 00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:06.399 still see it on the bottom ticker. And in fact, 208 00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:08.600 I was watching the news last night. It's still the thing. 209 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:12.000 But that has got to be that's got to be 210 00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.919 one of the ways people find out that they're out 211 00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:17.000 of school the least, you know what I'm saying, Like, 212 00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.080 if you're seeing it there, you know, I kind of 213 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:21.720 feel like if you are a student, if you have 214 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.919 a kid in the school system, if you are a teacher, 215 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.399 you work there, you're gonna there's gonna be some kind 216 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:29.279 of an automated message or some kind of a social 217 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.600 media thing, some kind of app that tells you. And look, 218 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.080 if you get a snow day, you get a snow day. 219 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.279 But I'm kind of, you know, having a moment here 220 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:38.120 thinking maybe I am getting old because this person says, Nick, 221 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.039 I'm thirty two years old, not that much younger than you, 222 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:45.720 And I never relied on the local television station ticker. Wow, 223 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.919 they did they not have the internet back then? Look, 224 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:49.840 they had the Internet, but like it was in its 225 00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:50.679 weird stage. 226 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.720 Like I mean you had to be paid for it 227 00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:56.440 or be subscribed to the end world dial up. 228 00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.960 Or so we're talking. Like by the way, I graduate 229 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:01.039 high school in two thousand and so maybe by then 230 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:04.519 it wasn't you know, No, I know, I gotta be honest, 231 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:05.960 I think it was, like I was gonna say, maybe 232 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.000 by then we were a little bit you know, yeah, 233 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.919 in the tech world. But no, like smartphones had kind 234 00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:13.759 of just become a thing to where like when you 235 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.600 would look think about this, you can update a website 236 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:19.279 and in fact, you can create and manage an entire 237 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:22.080 website without using anything other than your phone yea or 238 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:25.360 a tablet. Like back then, to update websites you needed 239 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:29.080 to be on a physical computer. So like and also no, no, 240 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.919 I mean, like this is I hope I'm not making 241 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:34.360 people laugh by saying this, because it's just the reality 242 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:36.480 of it. Like, not everybody that I grew up with 243 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:38.960 had the Internet, Like, so if you could. You know, 244 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.039 we're at a point now where if you tell somebody 245 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.360 in order for them to be able to get information 246 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.080 they need to go to a website. Now it's just 247 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.559 like there's really no I mean, unfortunately, there are people 248 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:49.200 I guess that still can't access it if you don't 249 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.159 have a phone, if you're without a home or something 250 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.519 like that. But like society at least has the standard of, hey, 251 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.600 you can get the info online, Like at this point, 252 00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:58.519 figure it out, you know what I'm saying. Back then, 253 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.840 like imagine telling hey, we're gonna update everybody again this 254 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.600 there are people a lot older than me listening and 255 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:06.440 they're like, gosh, this guy thinks he's old. He sounds 256 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.000 like an idiot. It's not that long ago. But there 257 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.120 are people listening that are like Austin's age and younger 258 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.519 that are like, wait a second, not everybody had the internet, 259 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.279 because look, the Internet when I was young, it wasn't 260 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.799 a phone thing. Now all people think about the Internet 261 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:20.919 is that do they have access to data on their 262 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.159 iPhone or their smartphone or like this is another thing 263 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.200 that used to drive me crazy. When people would say 264 00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.840 my wifi's out, my WiFi is not working, they would 265 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:33.039 refer to wi fi as Internet. It's not right, it's 266 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:36.679 not that so like I had Internet long before WiFi existed. 267 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:40.639 I mean, so it's just you know, everybody you get 268 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.960 accustomed to wherever we are in the digital world at 269 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:45.960 the time you're old enough to have a phone that 270 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:47.759 kind of stuff. But like back to what I was saying, 271 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.639 when it comes to school system, it would have been 272 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.399 a national story if the school system I went to 273 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.759 in nineteen ninety nine or in two thousand and two 274 00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.480 told every parent in order to get updates on school closings, 275 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:01.960 you need to have that you need to go to 276 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:03.960 the website, because there'd be a lot of people that 277 00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:06.519 one would feel like that's insane. And also there'd be 278 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:08.559 people that claim I don't have the Internet, like we don't, 279 00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:10.840 we don't, Like there are people believe it or not 280 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.480 that when the Internet like became a thing even and 281 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:15.879 it's like tiny, like even when like when you had 282 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:19.679 the AOL CD ROM discs or whatever, like back then 283 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.240 that thought, yeah, this won't work. Nah, this is probably 284 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.360 just be a phasey I'm out, I'm not in the Internet. 285 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:26.279 It won't there's no way it'll it'll be able to 286 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:27.960 you know, once everybody gets on it. There won't be 287 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:30.039 enough bandwidth or whatever, like, it won't work well, clearly 288 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:31.960 it works. It's a huge part of what we do 289 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.000 in every way, and that's how we get all of 290 00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:36.919 our information now, I mean, but back then, you know, 291 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:40.240 back in my day, we were lied on the TV 292 00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:42.799 and the ticker. So to answer your question, smart ass, 293 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.320 I'm thirty seven, and I don't think it's that uncommon 294 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.840 for people around my age to you know, used to 295 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.679 to not be as young and and and you know, 296 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:53.919 hip like you to where you could get at you 297 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:56.080 could get information on your phone or whatever it may be. 298 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.120 But if you're that, if you're that much younger than me, 299 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:00.919 like when you were a little kid, I guarantee you 300 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:02.840 because what do you say thirty one or thirty two? 301 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:04.799 Which one is? You said thirty one or thirty two 302 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.480 on the text line. I'm thirty seven, It's like we're 303 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.519 not that far off in age, so we're like I 304 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:12.039 would imagine either you grew up in a different world 305 00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:14.639 than I did, a different planet maybe that had some 306 00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:19.080 you know, tech advances that I wasn't privy to. But yeah, 307 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:22.600 hopefully those of you that got a snowday today, if 308 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:24.600 you're a teacher or maybe you enjoyed the snow day 309 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:27.639 with your kids, have fun because you're getting one tomorrow too, 310 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:31.679 And actually, did did they cancel school for Wednesday as 311 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:32.639 well in JCPS? 312 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:33.240 I'm not sure. 313 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.279 I kind of think they did, which seems a little 314 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.080 bit premature, but you know, with the power outages and 315 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.000 it not getting warm enough for any of this to 316 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:43.039 melt on its own. 317 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.000 Yeah, it's kind of that. That's gonna be the worst. 318 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:47.879 Part, no doubt about it. All Right, So we talked 319 00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.919 a little bit a little bit about the NFL playoff matchups. 320 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.639 We've got the Super wild Card weekend, some really good games. 321 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.720 Also talked a lot about Lousll's twenty point victory at Virginia. 322 00:13:58.080 --> 00:13:59.440 I mean, I'm now looking at the rest of this 323 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.480 schedule feeling as if this Louisville team can I mean 324 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.799 right now for what it's worth, then nothing, because they 325 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:06.720 got a lot of basketball to be played, and they're 326 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:10.360 clearly gonna need to finish strong to feel like they're 327 00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:13.000 safely in the tournament. But for those that do assess 328 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.559 the bracket every day and give you bracketology, as silly 329 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:19.039 as it is to some, because you know, it's there's 330 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:22.039 no point in really trying to get I mean, I guess, 331 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:23.919 I mean I'm a s guilty as anybody looking at 332 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:26.799 these check ins, but like clearly, Louisville being in the 333 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:28.639 tournament today if it started doesn't mean anything. They got 334 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:30.279 to finish strong. But right now everybody has them in, 335 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.399 not even as like the first four or the last 336 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.120 four in. I think the lowest I've seen them is 337 00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:38.200 like the next four out or I'm sorry, yeah yeah, 338 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:42.639 so not that you know. I guess eighth team is 339 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.960 what I saw yesterday from Brackettville, Like they're the eighth, 340 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:47.279 Like there's seven teams that would that would be out 341 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.480 before they would be out. And and the game against 342 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.679 Clemson tomorrow that's huge. I mean, that's one of the 343 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.200 You've got momentum in a major way. You're at home, 344 00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:58.840 you fresh off of five star commit two good wins 345 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.679 against Virginia in Carolina. And I'm not even saying good 346 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:03.720 wins because like those teams are great, but Louisville just 347 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:06.240 played really well and didn't need to shoot well from 348 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.039 the three to really take care of their opponents. So 349 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.080 tomorrow's huge against Clemson. So we'll get back into the 350 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.159 Louisville hoops stuff coming up here shortly, but I do 351 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.600 want to acknowledge the Kentucky result from Saturday, because you know, 352 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:19.720 I kind of stopped saying it because you know, it 353 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:21.399 may not have ever been funny, and it really wasn't 354 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.000 meant to be funny. I wasn't trying to make a joke. 355 00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:25.919 But make no mistake about it, Cala Perry in Kentucky, 356 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:29.080 that was a breakup. Bb In and Cal broke up. 357 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:33.799 They got divorced, and it was not as ugly as 358 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:35.960 I guess it could have been, certainly not the ugliest 359 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.279 divorce out there, but both sides knew, Hey, we had 360 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:42.320 a great run, and I know you'll find somebody else, 361 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:44.120 but we just need you know, we need to cut 362 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:47.720 ties because you're great. But this just it's its course. 363 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:50.000 I'm ready for something new. You're ready for something new. 364 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.360 You know Cal's now sleeping on the couch and not 365 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.720 in bed with BBN. Maybe you know, maybe he's out 366 00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.080 late saying he's working, but maybe you know they had 367 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.000 drifted apart. It needed to happen. The change needed to happen. 368 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:05.240 So that's why I kept saying early on Kentucky's winning 369 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:08.480 the breakup because they beat Duke. Cal didn't have a 370 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:12.000 great start in the first few games in Fayetteville and 371 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:15.519 now here. We are early January, less than a month 372 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:17.720 until these two teams play each other and Cal brings 373 00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:21.440 Arkansas to up and Kentucky isn't winning the breakup. They've 374 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:23.840 won the breakup. I mean, I guess there's a scenario 375 00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:28.639 that Pope flames out or Cal ends up getting hot 376 00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:32.720 and really thriving at Arkansas, But those two things I 377 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.799 think are very unlikely. I don't know what the ceiling 378 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.759 is for Mark Pope. I mean, I think he can 379 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:39.720 win a title there, because every coach that's coached there 380 00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:43.000 has for the most part, but those don't come easy. 381 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.240 But he's not gonna have the first round losses that 382 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:47.720 Cal has, and he's gonna win games like he did 383 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:51.840 against Florida. I mean, Kentucky's got a guy who is 384 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:54.799 quite literally, I think, perfect for that job. I hate 385 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:57.279 saying it makes me kind of sick. Austin looked at 386 00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:58.919 me dirty when I said it just now, But like 387 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:03.879 it's they have a really good coach and they're going 388 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:05.920 to lose games. Who knows how deep they're going to 389 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:07.759 go in the tournament this year? Again, who knows if 390 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:09.400 he's going to win a title, because again, those things 391 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:11.839 don't happen that often, but like they have to feel 392 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.200 phenomenal about where they are in every aspect right now 393 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:19.319 compared to where they were with Cal and it and again, 394 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.200 like make no mistake about it, Cal getting his ass 395 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:24.759 kicked by Rick Barnes again, this time it being at Arkansas, 396 00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:27.480 not at Kentucky, and then him acknowledging that he didn't 397 00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:28.960 do a shoot around and maybe he should have done 398 00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:32.079 a shoot around, Like all the stuff that Cal did 399 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:35.680 that you became very very annoyed by and led to, 400 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:38.759 you know, you wanting to have the separation. He's now 401 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:42.319
