Welcome in, Happy Thursday, everybody. 17 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:50.880 Can I say it's a warm January twenty third edition 18 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:52.759 of Coffee and Company? Can I say that? 19 00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:53.200 You can? 20 00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.920 Because it's it's not really warm, but it's certainly not 21 00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:58.039 as cold as it has been. We're a buff freezing, 22 00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:02.119 which is good. January's really kicked our ass if you 23 00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.000 think about winter weather. I mean, it's not just us, 24 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:09.239 but for I guess comparison. We haven't had a January 25 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.000 like this in quite some time. But I mean people 26 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.200 are in destin Florida and they moved there, or just 27 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.560 you know, in the South. I guess, not just dustin Florida. 28 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.480 I keep mentioning Dustin when I talk about the South 29 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.680 getting snow, because the visual of seeing snow there is 30 00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.640 just wild. But those people probably moved there to get 31 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.239 away from it, and it may get chilly every now 32 00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.799 and then, but for snow to arrive probably not probably 33 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.480 not not what anybody down there would want. But anyways, 34 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:36.959 it is warmer and that has me feeling good. And 35 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.959 we're with you for the next three hours.

So that's 68 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:03.680 always fun. If you ever go to the boat show 69 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:04.000 and do. 70 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.639 That, it would be really really wild if somebody had, 71 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:11.439 like I don't know, the the the idea to kind 72 00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.919 of think, well, hey, why doesn't why doesn't Nick just 73 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.639 take his show to the boat show? And that solves 74 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.039 kind of everything. That wouldn't I mean, wouldn't that wouldn't 75 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:21.879 that be like the wouldn't that make sense? 76 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:22.479 Almost? 77 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.520 We don't do a lot around here to we don't 78 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.280 do a lot of things around here that makes sense, 79 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:27.080 it seems. 80 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:28.400 Yeah, what is what logic? 81 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.960 I lose my producer because he's got to go to 82 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.639 remote where we are currently doing business with, you know, 83 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.520 the event the Boat Show. Like that would make life easier. 84 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:41.280 I mean, can you imagine doing this show on an 85 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:43.319 on an RV that's bigger than your house? 86 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.840 Can you imagine somebody knowing this show exists that works here? 87 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:48.039 Can you imagine? 88 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:48.360 Yeah? 89 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:49.159 Wild, wouldn't it? 90 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.719 And people just instead of like that, people know what 91 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.199 we do, what we're doing, Like, Hey, Nick, what are 92 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.960 you doing here in office?

I've done my show there a 99 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:08.919 couple of times, but that was when I was in midday. 100 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.000 I guess Pam Drive. They just yeah, they don't they 101 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:13.520 have no interest in it. So it's true. 102 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:14.680 It's fun stuff over there. 103 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.839 Oh it's awesome. I mean it's it makes me feel 104 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.560 really poor. And even if I was somebody that did 105 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.519 have a lot of money, I just that kind of 106 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.839 stuff boats, campers, RVs. That's not really my jam. But 107 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.639 I'm not anti. It's just, you know, I can't see 108 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.040 myself ever in any position being like, yeah, I need 109 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.160 to go get me a boat, or I need to 110 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.360 go get me an RV. But I I mean, I don't. 111 00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:40.120 You can be someone that doesn't have the money or 112 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:41.920 the interest in ever kind of that being part of 113 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:43.839 your your life, your hobby. You know, you go on 114 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.639 the road and go on trips, but just to see 115 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.920 like the brand new RVs and the brand new boats 116 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.079 that come out every year, like tor Bus, I mean it, 117 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:56.399 I mean it. I mean it's amazing, and every year 118 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.560 they're they're newer and nicer, more modern, and yeah, it's uh, 119 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.079 it's it makes me jealous at times because again, like 120 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.079 maybe I would who knows, I'll never be filthy rich, 121 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:06.759 but if I was, maybe I would go buy a boat. 122 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.879 Maybe we hit a couple of parlays, we can go 123 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.600 buy one some of these boat and I'm sorry, some 124 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.879 of these RVs have like RVs and campers, they have 125 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.680 fold out patios so you can like sit. 126 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:20.639 Oh I've seen that. 127 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.079 Have like a patio outside. It's it's nuts. But you know, 128 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.279 if you get one of those campers, I mean, you 129 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:27.839 have to be in the business of having like a 130 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.839 pickup truck or some sort of heavy duty truck that's 131 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.959 gonna luck that thing around, because it's not like you 132 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.480 could just buy a camper and just like take it. 133 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.759 It doesn't drive it. It has to hitch on to 134 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.120 something and then you go do your you go do 135 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.879 your adventures that way. I guess that's the cheapest option. 136 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:44.720 Yeah, But like if you're I mean, it's just one 137 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.399 of those things that if you buy one of those 138 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.879 huge trucks that can haul it, I mean that's a 139 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.720 huge expense itself, and you really just have to have 140 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.560 to have that big of a vehicle in order just 141 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.959 to carry it around. I mean, that's just it's another 142 00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.240 huge expense. But I'm sure there's people out there that 143 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.319 may already have truck that could pull that. But I've 144 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.920 seen exactly what you're talking about on TikTok. The newer 145 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.759 RVs that are the newer campers that really have that 146 00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:09.839 like a back porch on the back of them. Yeah, 147 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.959 and somebody who has a huge following now on TikTok 148 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.759 they tell the story of their family and I would 149 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.120 never I mean I would never want to do this. 150 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.000 I'm not passing judgment, but to me, it just sounds 151 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:21.839 it's just something I can never imagine doing as somebody 152 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.480 with a family. But they left their like, they left 153 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.600 their jobs, they had, they homeschooled their kids, they sold 154 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.920 their house. They have remote jobs where they can work 155 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.920 from their camper, and they just travel across the country 156 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.240 and they document it on TikTok and you know, I mean, 157 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:39.560 they seem happy, they seem content. I feel like there'd 158 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:40.839 be you know, I don't think that's a way for 159 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:42.800 a kid to grow up. But hey, you know, so. 160 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:44.360 You people just have it in them to do that. 161 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.439 Yeah, you raise your kids the way you want. And 162 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.639 you know, I'm I'm not going to pass any judgment, 163 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.600 so you know, I can't relate, but hey, they're doing 164 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:54.399 it and they seem to be doing well. And again, camper, 165 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.079 my dad has a camper. He's he's let us borrow it. 166 00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.160 A couple of times. So I'm a glamor more than 167 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.759 a camper, if you know what I'm saying, just because 168 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:03.399 that you know, that's that's the way to go. But 169 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.519 I know I have friends that will go and and 170 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.879 spend a weekend with just a backpack in a crazy 171 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.000 yeah and a and a sleeping bag, and I just 172 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.120 I think, man, more power to you.

Some people just had that itch and 181 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.079 them to really be so one with nature and go 182 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.680 back to just your your basic day one human instincts 183 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.720 and just be you with the world.

There's no way I could do that. 186 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.120 It's a good point, yeah, very good point. So you 187 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.560 not being here yesterday is not my only complaint today. 188 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:55.319 My other complaint that I have here to start the show. 189 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.199 I'm just there's a bitch and session for your boy 190 00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.639 today to do it. But I'm I'm pissed that we 191 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.040 have to weigh as long as we do to watch 192 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.519 this lowvell basketball team plague. And that's what sucked yesterday 193 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.560 is because I felt like the game and you and 194 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:10.120 I were texting late night on Tuesday. Yeah, late night 195 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.879 text because I think we were like both in all 196 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:15.720 of this team, and we've been it's been a fun ride. 197 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:17.920 We've been talking about it since they started playing well, 198 00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.639 and really since day one, Pat Kelsey has even when 199 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.439 things weren't great and they were losing games. I don't 200 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:25.680 think anybody at any point really felt like, Okay, we 201 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.079 didn't hire the right guy. But to have them in 202 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.519 the position they're in now, it's amazing. And I feel 203 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.200 like the game against SMU, probably because records were broken, 204 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:36.200 they beat SMU as bad as they did in SMU. 205 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.080 For what it's worth, they are at least one of 206 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.600 the better teams in the ACC. It seems I feel 207 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.799 like there's now more attention on Louisville than there has 208 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:44.720 been at any point this season, and it's kind of 209 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.559 been a gradual build because they're on a winning streak 210 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.600 right now. They're up to nine. But I think everybody's 211 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.799 looking at the schedule the rest of the way realizing 212 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:54.840 they've already gotten the tough games out of the way 213 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.120 in ACC play and they only have one loss and 214 00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:00.559 that's the Duke. And I think Louisville now is in 215 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.919 a position to where, if they don't screw up, they're 216 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.000 gonna get a really good seat. I mean, and it's 217 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.639 gonna kill me if they're not in the top sixteen 218 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.679 by the time we get that early look at the bracket, 219 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.200 which they probably won't be. That's a couple of weeks away. 220 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.159 They give you the top sixteen teams, so certainly there's 221 00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.000 a chance they wouldn't be there. But I just what 222 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.919 it's all gonna come down to is how does the 223 00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:28.440 committee really evaluate the ACC And I can't. I mean, 224 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:30.320 I have a feeling that they're going like what you 225 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:34.960 see in bracketology as far as where the ACC stands 226 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.320 with They've got one team, you know, that could lose 227 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:40.279 every game and probably still make it. They wouldn't and 228 00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:42.559 that's stupid. To even say, because it wouldn't happen. But 229 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.200 Duke is firmly in and they're a one seat, so 230 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:46.399 they're good and I don't think they're gonna lose another game, 231 00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:48.480 by the way. And then you also have Louisville, who 232 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.600 is clearly really you've got two teams kind of by 233 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:55.919 themselves in their own spots. Louisville is by themselves because 234 00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.480 they're firmly in, looking like a four to five six 235 00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.799 seed that range between four and six right now. Duke, 236 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.120 of course by themselves as the number as the number 237 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.519 one overall seed. And then after that you're looking at 238 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.200 teams that are probably I don't know, maybe an aid 239 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.919 at best, and that's maybe Pitt and Clemson. So you know, 240 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:16.799 I think all the bracketology that you see that reflects 241 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.039 that I just just I mean, maybe I'm just a 242 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.039 sheep here. I assume that that's correct. I assume that 243 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.840 that seed range is where those teams would be if 244 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.639 in fact that the selection committee put together the bracket today. 245 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.440 But maybe they're a little more higher on the ACC 246 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.080 I don't know, maybe they actually don't think that the 247 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.480 teams on the bubble are worthy. So I don't think 248 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.200 we're going to really know until selection Sunday, and you know, 249 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.840 you can't really go off of like previous years because 250 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.360 this is this is an outlier. This season for the 251 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.480 ACC is just it's a different level of being down. 252 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:49.600 I mean, you've had the same amount of teams kind 253 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.480 of you know, flirting with with with you know, with 254 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:55.879 the tournament or I mean, I guess in recent years 255 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.480 the amount of teams that have made the tournament has 256 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:02.399 has gotten lower. But of the four to five, usually 257 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.759 they're safely in. They're just not great seeds. Right now, 258 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.679 you've got, honestly, there's only two teams that I think 259 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.679 you can say that you feel very comfortable that they're 260 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.360 gonna make the tournament. I Mean, Carolina keeps losing. Pitt 261 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.720 went on a four game losing streak after Louisville beat him. 262 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.720 Clemson is probably in, but you know, they slip up 263 00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:23.799 and lose to a bum team, then that probably puts 264 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:27.360 some ripe square back on the bubble. So I'm loving 265 00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:31.759 just every everything that's coming with Louisville being in this 266 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.440 position where they're just they're playing well, they're starting to 267 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.759 get some attention nationally. It's a cool story too, by 268 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.559 the way, like Pat Kelsey really likable guy. I mean, 269 00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:43.240 if even Kentucky fans can admit they have a really 270 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.519 tough time not liking the Louisville basketball coach, I think 271 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:49.799 that speaks to how likable he is. He seems pretty 272 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.559 pretty relatable and an easy guy to like and root for, 273 00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:58.519 so everything that comes with all that has just been fun. 274 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:00.759 But now again I'm bum because we have to wait 275 00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.679 until we have to wait until you know, next Tuesday 276 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.679 to watch him play. And again, for what it's worth, 277 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:08.559 that game against another team that's not a tournament team. 278 00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:10.799 Wake Forest is also pretty hot right now. They're going 279 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.759 to play Duke before they play Louisville, so I would 280 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.080 imagine they're going to be coming in here on a loss, 281 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:19.600 which you know, doesn't mean they won't be able to 282 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:21.639 beat Louisville if they play well. But I just here. 283 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.000 I mean, it hit me yesterday and I was kind 284 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.840 of getting there the day of the SMU game. But 285 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.679 I have no reason to believe this team is not 286 00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:34.000 going to come out and play really good defense and 287 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.480 have balance scoring where maybe some guy gets you know, 288 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:44.399 thirty like rain Smith or thirty two like Hadley got 289 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.480 against Clemson, Like maybe that happens, but you know, you 290 00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:49.840 don't need anybody to do that specifically, Like if you 291 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:54.720 have five to six guys getting around double figures, maybe 292 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.600 three above double figures, maybe a couple with nine to ten. 293 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:01.000 I mean, that's really all like what Louisville is doing, 294 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.919 not only to you know, to I guess Rain Smith's 295 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:09.559 three point barrage and Chucky Hepburn getting sixteen assists, that's 296 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.360 not I mean, those are records for a reason. Those 297 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:15.000 that's the most amount of threes and assists that have 298 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.519 ever been that have ever anybody's ever had for Louisville. Right, 299 00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:19.440 So it'd be foolish just said that that's like something 300 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:23.799 you could expect. But outside of those milestones, really the 301 00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:26.840 way they're playing and what has led to them having 302 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.279 such a you know, a streak here and they really 303 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:32.559 look like a good team regardless of opponent. Those are 304 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:35.519 things that are easy to replicate. It's not like they're 305 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.159 doing this with pure luck. And I'm aware that if 306 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.600 they were playing the same way and the competition was 307 00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.639 a lot tougher, maybe they wouldn't be able to come 308 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.320 out with victories. And we'll never know, right, But they're 309 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.000 also beating the hell out of some of these teams, 310 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.559 and that matters too, And that's why they've jumped so 311 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.799 much in these metrics, just because, yeah, they're beating teams 312 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.080 that aren't in the top thirty or the top fifty 313 00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.679 even when it comes to the net, but they're beating 314 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.840 them back and you can still you know, that doesn't 315 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:05.679 really prove that you're great, but it's the best thing 316 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:07.240 you can do when you play a team like that. 317 00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:09.519 So it's been a lot of fun, all right. It's 318 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:11.720 coffee and company. Feel about Thornton's here on Sports Talk 319 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:13.600 seven ninety. I stopped in at Thornton's on my way 320 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:15.840 in today. Had to get me one of these white 321 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:20.440 Monster energy drinks. Got to have them. And you know, 322 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.759 I went two three weeks without drinking on one of 323 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:27.120 these energy drinks because I'm of the belief aston that 324 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:30.440 energy drinks, like even though they tell you zero sugar 325 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.440 and you know, ten calories, I'm just looking at this. 326 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.120 I just assume there's no scenario that it's good for me. Sure, 327 00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:37.720 you know what I mean, Like, it can't be healthy. 328 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.360 But I went three weeks without drinking it, and I 329 00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:43.879 noticed no difference at all. I mean, in fact, I 330 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:45.840 felt tired. I felt like I missed it, but like 331 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:47.919 my body didn't like, you know, I didn't lose weight. 332 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.200 I mean, so I'm just going to assume that these 333 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.159 are in fact good for me because I didn't do 334 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.320 them for a few weeks. And I said, I said, 335 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.039 do them like it's a drug, it's a drink. I 336 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.480 didn't drink them for a few weeks, and I was 337 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:02.120 you know, I would say, okay, now you're not a 338 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:04.919 coffee drinker, right, No interesting, I will say this though, 339 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:06.120 the what was your last name? 340 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:06.519 Coffee? 341 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:08.799 Then how about this? Did you know my father owned 342 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:12.200 a coffee shop? Yes, I imagine what imagine when he 343 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:15.600 was running his shop many years ago and people would 344 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:17.840 stull you know, stumble in and and you know, make 345 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:20.320 small talk and they would learn his name and man 346 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.039 every I mean like I was, like, I remember asking him, 347 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:25.159 did you have to like sell it? Like, oh yeah, 348 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.320 I never thought of that. Like I feel like anybody 349 00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:30.639 with a brain no offense would realize, yeah, you've probably 350 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.279 gotten that repeatedly. I'm not gonna make the pun joke 351 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:36.519 like you know, but anyways, yes, I don't like coffee. 352 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:39.600 But the company man, he's a big coffee drinker, and 353 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:41.840 he a couple of times when I was dragging ass, 354 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:43.759 he would give me he would make a cup of coffee, 355 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:45.600 and I didn't enjoy the taste. For some reason, I'm 356 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.559 just not real big on drinking something that's warm. It 357 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:51.159 just it just weird to me, just kind of seems 358 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.519 like I'm drinking something that's bad. But but it did 359 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.120 give me a nice pick me up. Like I mean, 360 00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.440 I at least felt the effect. That makes me understand 361 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.159 a little more so why people have to have their 362 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:03.639 coffee in the morning. It's like, oh, I'd eat my 363 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:04.720 coffee and eat my coffee. 364 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:06.240 Was it just like a straight black coffee? 365 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:09.960 Yeah, yeah it was. It was straight and again it 366 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.679 didn't taste good, but it also wasn't terrible to where 367 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:13.639 like I couldn't drink it. 368 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:16.600 So yeah, you need to find yourself like a nice creamer. 369 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.679 I like to add all the superfluous stuff in. 370 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:21.080 It, like a So you are coffee guy. 371 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:24.320 I love whenever I can drink. Usually every day when 372 00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:26.360 I come to the office, I usually make me a cuffee. 373 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:28.879 Yes, that's very like grown up of you. And here 374 00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.519 I am a little little teenage child with just nothing 375 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:33.720 but these energy drinks that I'm sure, you know, I'm 376 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:35.159 sure everything on the label is a lie. 377 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:35.679 Sure. 378 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:38.639 I have my own specific creamer that I like to use. 379 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:42.759 It's like Hershey. It's right, It's like a Hershey caramel 380 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:47.000 like vanilla type. It's just probably just a terrible sugar 381 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.440 for you, but it enhances a coffee taste for me. 382 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:53.039 As I've gotten older, I have like to have more 383 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:57.000 of the coffee taste. Yeah, I drink coffee, but still 384 00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.080 I can with that bean. Maybe I can't. I can't. 385 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:00.200 I can't do a black. 386 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:02.639 And I'll stick with it. I'll stick with the energy 387 00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.599 drinks when it comes to uh, you know, my pick 388 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:07.839 me up, because these taste good, like the carbonation, Like 389 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:09.720 that's what I like. When it comes to soft drinks, 390 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:12.440 I try not drink a lot of them. But when 391 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:14.559 I crave a drink that's, you know, not a beer 392 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.640 or water or I guess an energy drink, Like it 393 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:19.720 doesn't really matter what soda it is. Like I'm more 394 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:22.440 of a diet coke guy. I really love sprite, but 395 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:25.440 but there's a certain it's really not about that. There's 396 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.359 not many soft drinks I've had that I genuinely like, 397 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:30.119 don't like like big red. I'm not a big red guy, 398 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:32.359 but but I'll drink it like it's fine, you know 399 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:34.319 what I mean. But more than anything, it's just that 400 00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:37.559 carbonation that kick, the bite that you yeah, the bite 401 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:39.920
