<v Speaker 2>We have listen live at seven ninety Louisville dot com.

21
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:11.920
<v Speaker 2>As you heard, as you likely know. In fact, I'm

22
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.079
<v Speaker 2>sure a lot of you already know this. We are

23
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:16.680
<v Speaker 2>fueled about Thortons. So make sure if you have not

24
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>signed up to become a member of their refreshment Awards program,

25
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 2>you do that. You should. I mean again, I don't

26
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>know how people go home to their families at night

27
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.560
<v Speaker 2>knowing they've not taken advantage of all the perks that

28
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:30.359
<v Speaker 2>you get. It's not just perks for you, it's for

29
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:31.920
<v Speaker 2>your family, right, I mean, if you've got people to

30
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:33.760
<v Speaker 2>take care of, if you're saving money at the gas pump,

31
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 2>isn't that benefiting everybody? I mean maybe those savings over

32
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:38.799
<v Speaker 2>a certain amount of time could lead to you being

33
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.120
<v Speaker 2>able to, you know, use those savings to go out

34
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 2>and get a nice dinner or something. I don't know.

35
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, we are fueled about Thornton's. You probably knew that.

36
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>If not, now you do, all right. So I'm fired

37
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:54.560
<v Speaker 2>up today here on Thursday, back in studio, my first

38
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.879
<v Speaker 2>time here in studios since Monday, and we got a

39
00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>lot to get to. We're gonna have some fun. Kent

40
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 2>Spencer from WHAS eleven will join us coming up at

41
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 2>four oh five, and I will continue to be interactive.

42
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.039
<v Speaker 2>I think yesterday relying on the text line and really

43
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 2>needing the text line to come through. Just because of

44
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.759
<v Speaker 2>the day that I was having, they came through, So

45
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 2>we'll continue to do that. It was a reminder for me,

46
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, you should definitely be as interactive as possible

47
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:21.800
<v Speaker 2>on this show. So we're gonna do that. I mean,

48
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>I still out other things I'm gonna get into that. Really,

49
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>to be honest, reactions not needed for it. But maybe

50
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, once I share some thoughts I want to share,

51
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>talk about some things that I want to talk about

52
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 2>that that leads to reaction from you guys. So again,

53
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>the open invite is there five O two six five

54
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 2>three zero seven ninety. It's the LNN Federal Credit Union

55
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 2>text line, and you can also give us a call

56
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.240
<v Speaker 2>five oh two, five to seven to one seventy nine hundred.

57
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Now that I'm back in studio, much easier to be

58
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:49.919
<v Speaker 2>interactive on the phone line. So again, we're taking you

59
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>up till six o'clock, and I hope that you guys

60
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 2>stick around. One of the reasons I'm fired up today

61
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.639
<v Speaker 2>has to be because it's the first day of the

62
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky State Fair. I have no plans to go to

63
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.759
<v Speaker 2>the today. I mean, I'm gonna be there probably at

64
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.120
<v Speaker 2>least a couple times before it ends. But man, there's

65
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 2>just I can never put into words why I love

66
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 2>the fair as much as I do. You know, I could,

67
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>I could, I could off the cuff here, give you

68
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 2>some bullet points that make the fair a fun thing

69
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>for me to be a part of and go to.

70
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 2>But it wouldn't make the fair look good. If that

71
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:25.960
<v Speaker 2>makes sense? Am I making sense? John?

72
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

73
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.319
<v Speaker 2>And I think I know what you're referring to, people

74
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>watching the characters you see. I mean, it's just it's

75
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.000
<v Speaker 2>again I said this the other day. We were talking

76
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.360
<v Speaker 2>about how our concert lineup at the Kentucky State Fair

77
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>compares to other states. Was it Iowa that had a

78
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>badass lineuph Yeah? Yeah, that was wild games. Yeah. So

79
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.439
<v Speaker 2>you know I could go and not go to any concert,

80
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.439
<v Speaker 2>not you know, not stopping partake in any of the events. No,

81
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 2>not riding rides, not eating the elephant ear or the

82
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 2>burger with donut as a bun. It just walk around

83
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 2>And I could do it every day and still say

84
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 2>it was a great experience because it's the most it's

85
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:06.039
<v Speaker 2>the most beautiful place for people watching. So the fairs here,

86
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm fired up and again John you've only been in

87
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 2>the fair what a couple of times?

88
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Maybe, yeah, and most of those times were.

89
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>For concerts, so that kind of didn't count, to be

90
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:15.479
<v Speaker 2>honest with you.

91
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:17.639
<v Speaker 4>So there was one time I went with my wife

92
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 4>just to walk around for We were there for maybe

93
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.560
<v Speaker 4>an hour, hour and a half and we didn't really

94
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 4>get into a bunch of different things, but we tried

95
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 4>some food, and you know, it was a good time.

96
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.600
<v Speaker 2>So you know, you're somebody who hasn't experienced it a

97
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.920
<v Speaker 2>whole lot, very little, And here I am telling you

98
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:33.560
<v Speaker 2>how great it is. And I want to be able

99
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 2>to be like, hey, John, let me tell you this

100
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.279
<v Speaker 2>is what makes it great, this is why you should go.

101
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 2>But I can't do that and it has nothing to do

102
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 2>with you. But I feel like, you know, for me

103
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 2>to really dress it up, like this is why I

104
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 2>love it, this is why it's great. I think a

105
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 2>lot of people would say, how does that make it great?

106
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 4>I do feel like a lot of people who love

107
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:53.920
<v Speaker 4>going to the fair, And maybe you're not one of

108
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 4>these people. It's because they grew up going as a

109
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 4>kid and not just as part of their family tradition

110
00:04:58.240 --> 00:04:59.560
<v Speaker 4>is going back each and every year.

111
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I can't use that as an excuse. I'm not sure

112
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.759
<v Speaker 2>my parents ever took me to the fair, okay, now

113
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 2>that I think about it, I mean, I think my

114
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.360
<v Speaker 2>first experience at the fair was what I was like

115
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:11.600
<v Speaker 2>a teenager whenever we went and got dropped off, which

116
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.439
<v Speaker 2>my god, I would never do that now if I

117
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.920
<v Speaker 2>was a parent of a teenager, but different times back

118
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 2>in the day, and it was just like it was

119
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.360
<v Speaker 2>almost at that point, I didn't really know what it was.

120
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 2>I just felt like I was at an extension of

121
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky Kingdom. That's what I felt like, you know, because

122
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 2>I didn't go into the West Wing and see like

123
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>all the boosts and all that kind of stuff. So

124
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I am an absolute nerd for the State Fair. So

125
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 2>I won't be there every day, certainly not going to

126
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>go to day on the first day. But I feel

127
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 2>like the vibes for me are just going to be

128
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 2>enhanced in these next ten days because it's fair season, folks.

129
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.160
<v Speaker 2>And also that means we're closer to football, doesn't it.

130
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:49.240
<v Speaker 2>It does, so that's exciting. Or speaking of exciting, I'm

131
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 2>going to share something with you guys really quickly here

132
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 2>because I feel like what I'm about to share is

133
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 2>something most people would not be excited about. They would

134
00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 2>look at it as an inconvenience. They would look at

135
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:04.680
<v Speaker 2>it is all crap, just my luck. I'm looking at

136
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.600
<v Speaker 2>it as a duty as a citizen of Bullet County.

137
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 2>I've been served to do jury duty. I've been asked

138
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:13.639
<v Speaker 2>to do jury.

139
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:14.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

140
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.040
<v Speaker 2>I guess I'm not being asked. I'm being summons job.

141
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:16.920
<v Speaker 3>That's how it works.

142
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever been? I mean, sure you haven't, right, You're.

143
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 4>So, I haven't unless I just missed that opportunity to

144
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:22.959
<v Speaker 4>the mail. But I'm pretty sure youre getting some big

145
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 4>trouble if you missed jury.

146
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh gosh. I mean I have a duty to my

147
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 2>community and to my to my you know, my country.

148
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean I don't act like I'm serving the country,

149
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 2>but you know, hey, jurors are important. That's how we

150
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.399
<v Speaker 2>decide who's good, who's bad, right, who's guilty, who's innocent.

151
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 2>So it says, dear perspective, juror, you have been selected

152
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:42.439
<v Speaker 2>to serve as a juror in the Bullet County courts.

153
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.000
<v Speaker 2>You are summoned to a peer the following place, date,

154
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 2>and time. Failure to appear may result in a finer

155
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:53.240
<v Speaker 2>jail time. They probably said, they probably send this to everybody,

156
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.000
<v Speaker 2>but they added that in there for me because they

157
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.120
<v Speaker 2>know how much I'm scared of going to jail. They

158
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.199
<v Speaker 2>know I'm going to be there even if you believe

159
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.279
<v Speaker 2>you are disqualifed from serving, so I can't say serving

160
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm serving. Are asking to be excused from jury service,

161
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.879
<v Speaker 2>or are asking that your service be postponed. You must complete, sign,

162
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 2>and return the enclosed jury qualification form within five days

163
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.120
<v Speaker 2>after receiving this summons. Keep this page and bring it

164
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 2>with you when you report for jury. So it's Wednesday,

165
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:26.399
<v Speaker 2>September twenty fifth at nine am. Like I'm gonna go,

166
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:28.399
<v Speaker 2>but like what do I do about the show? Like

167
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 2>how does jury duty work? Am I expected to be

168
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.439
<v Speaker 2>there for a couple hours? Could I be there for

169
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.199
<v Speaker 2>a couple of days? Like I don't know what very

170
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>well could be anywhere in that range. Yeah, but like

171
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:43.040
<v Speaker 2>if it's if it's for multiple days, like I'm curious.

172
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.199
<v Speaker 4>Do Like, I mean, you should ask our buddy in

173
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 4>he had jury duty. I don't know if it was

174
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 4>last year, but since we've moved into this building, he's

175
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.079
<v Speaker 4>had to be off for jury duty at least once.

176
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:57.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like, so my schedule is obviously different than most

177
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.040
<v Speaker 2>because I mean, believe it or not, I do work

178
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.399
<v Speaker 2>more than three hours a day. But like I could

179
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.319
<v Speaker 2>do jury duty at nine am and still do the show.

180
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:09.319
<v Speaker 2>But like, should I go ahead and let the brass

181
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:12.079
<v Speaker 2>here know that I've been served to be a good

182
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.680
<v Speaker 2>citizen of my community and they're gonna have to have arrangements?

183
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:16.319
<v Speaker 2>Like I don't know how that works because I would

184
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.439
<v Speaker 2>like to do both, but I don't know.

185
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.199
<v Speaker 4>Like if it were me, I'd probably just say, hey,

186
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.199
<v Speaker 4>I've got jury duty. Don't know, you know kind of

187
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.000
<v Speaker 4>the time constraints, but you know it may interfere what.

188
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Kind of case you think I'm gonna get? We're talking like,

189
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's a lot of hard, hard crime in

190
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Bullet County, guys.

191
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.039
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it could be that dude that you saw

192
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.039
<v Speaker 4>a while back who was who was fixing not fixing,

193
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.080
<v Speaker 4>but he had the lawnmowers in his trunk that were

194
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:41.919
<v Speaker 4>kind of falling out.

195
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:44.399
<v Speaker 3>Maybe they finally called him or something.

196
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:49.159
<v Speaker 2>What did he do? He just's he's carrying six lawnmowers

197
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.279
<v Speaker 2>in the trunk of a Ford escort. Is that a crime, John,

198
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.960
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I we'll see, but you know, I'm

199
00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 2>not going to jail guys, So I'm going to report

200
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.159
<v Speaker 2>for Jerry. Like, do I have to send this in?

201
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.759
<v Speaker 4>Here's one thing, it's very archaic, the way that they

202
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.200
<v Speaker 4>let you know that you have jury duty, the fact

203
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.320
<v Speaker 4>that you get a piece of mail that you have

204
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.399
<v Speaker 4>to sign and send back. It seemed like you should

205
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.279
<v Speaker 4>be able to use the QR code or something on

206
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.519
<v Speaker 4>the form that they give you and do it online

207
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:17.440
<v Speaker 4>and just be done with it.

208
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

209
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.240
<v Speaker 2>So I guess there's a website here that they have

210
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>mentioned that I can learn a little more about it.

211
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:24.600
<v Speaker 2>But it says report of the day at the time

212
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.240
<v Speaker 2>instructed above. This is the only notice you will receive.

213
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Failure to comply with this summons is punishable as contempt

214
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:36.879
<v Speaker 2>of court Krs twenty nine a one point fifty. Imagine

215
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:38.919
<v Speaker 2>me getting thrown in the slammer. What are you in for?

216
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.600
<v Speaker 2>I didn't show up to jerry duty and I can

217
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:43.039
<v Speaker 2>spare a lot of people off, wouldn't it.

218
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm very bad about checking my mail. I'd do it

219
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.519
<v Speaker 4>maybe once a week and sometimes not even that often.

220
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.919
<v Speaker 4>So if I ever got a jury duty letter, there's

221
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 4>a decent chance I wouldn't see it.

222
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:56.639
<v Speaker 2>That's not good.

223
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.039
<v Speaker 3>I know, that's what I'm saying. Maybe I need to

224
00:09:58.080 --> 00:09:58.639
<v Speaker 3>change my way.

225
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.799
<v Speaker 2>Since jury service begans on the date shown in this summons,

226
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.679
<v Speaker 2>jury service may be served on consecutive days or over

227
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:07.960
<v Speaker 2>a period of several months has determined by the Chief

228
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Circuit Judge or designee, and can last up to thirty

229
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:15.320
<v Speaker 2>court days. If selected to serve on a trial, plan

230
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.559
<v Speaker 2>to spend a full day in court for the length

231
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.320
<v Speaker 2>of the trial. Dress jurors are and are officers of

232
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.279
<v Speaker 2>the court. You're that I'm an officer of the court, John, Oh, yeah,

233
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.360
<v Speaker 2>as much as judges and other court personnel. You're expecting

234
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:31.360
<v Speaker 2>to dress accordingly while performing this serious duty. Look, I'm

235
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna wear a suit. I bought a suit for a

236
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:36.399
<v Speaker 2>wedding I was in last year. I'm gonna wear it.

237
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:37.639
<v Speaker 3>What do I show up?

238
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>We're in a suit. They're gonna they're gonna think, are

239
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:41.600
<v Speaker 2>you Are you a criminal defense attorney? No, I'm here

240
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 2>to do my duty as a bullet counting native to

241
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:46.879
<v Speaker 2>serve on the jury for you know, a nineteen year

242
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 2>old kid that got caught shoplift in candy.

243
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:51.879
<v Speaker 4>If it was a serious enough case, you would have

244
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 4>to potentially like be away from your family and be

245
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:56.919
<v Speaker 4>in like a hotel for a specific amount of time,

246
00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.360
<v Speaker 4>so you don't have to so you don't reveal any

247
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:00.440
<v Speaker 4>information to the public.

248
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:02.320
<v Speaker 3>I doubt you're gonna be on a case like that.

249
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:03.000
<v Speaker 2>John, don't doubt me.

250
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:03.879
<v Speaker 3>But that's an extreme.

251
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:05.879
<v Speaker 2>I am going to be I'm going to be an

252
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.519
<v Speaker 2>upstanding jury juror, and I'm going to make sure that

253
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:11.720
<v Speaker 2>you know I'm gonna be the alpha with the other

254
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:12.200
<v Speaker 2>jurors too.

255
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:13.720
<v Speaker 3>By the way, they're gonna be the one that reads

256
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:14.159
<v Speaker 3>the verdict.

257
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh dude, that'd be so bad ass. That'd be

258
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.480
<v Speaker 2>so bad ass to read the verdict in a case.

259
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Are you kidding me?

260
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:20.919
<v Speaker 5>So?

261
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Look, a lot of would you say, a lot of

262
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:23.720
<v Speaker 2>people are I got jury duty?

263
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:23.919
<v Speaker 5>No?

264
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Not me. I'm I'm a proud member of the Bullet

265
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.440
<v Speaker 2>County community, born and raised. And if I'm called to serve,

266
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 2>which I have been called, I've been summoned, I'm going

267
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.159
<v Speaker 2>to show up eager and ready to represent.

268
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:37.200
<v Speaker 3>But what happens.

269
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.200
<v Speaker 4>So that's that's the same weekend leading up to the

270
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:40.519
<v Speaker 4>Notre Dame game on the Road.

271
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I just saw that Notre Dame sold out

272
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:48.600
<v Speaker 2>that game, okay the way, so look, hey, my duty

273
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.240
<v Speaker 2>comes first. But then again, like you know, I think

274
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Shan did Shannon get out of it? Recently? Shannon was

275
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.759
<v Speaker 2>talking about Jerry duty at one point on KSR, and

276
00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel like he either was away because he did

277
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>it or he found a way to get out of it.

278
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.080
<v Speaker 2>And I could be wrong here, not that I'm trying to,

279
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:04.159
<v Speaker 2>but I do feel like if you really ever want it,

280
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:05.879
<v Speaker 2>if you didn't want to do it, you could get

281
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:07.840
<v Speaker 2>out of it, right, Like, maybe I'm wrong. Like I

282
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.000
<v Speaker 2>feel like there are people who I know that don't

283
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:14.399
<v Speaker 2>legitimately have a good excuse. They just you know, they

284
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:18.399
<v Speaker 2>mentioned something and they they're not needed. I guess I'll

285
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.519
<v Speaker 2>find out. So like again I'm asking John, like he's

286
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:23.240
<v Speaker 2>gone through this ten twenty times. I guess I'm really

287
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:25.440
<v Speaker 2>asking those of you that have been through this process

288
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.279
<v Speaker 2>before when it comes to like do I need to

289
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:31.120
<v Speaker 2>send anything or do I just show up like I've

290
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:32.840
<v Speaker 2>been summoned so I've got this, So I show up?

291
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:34.679
<v Speaker 2>Do I need to? Like, you know, I don't want

292
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:35.799
<v Speaker 2>to get I don't want to get a warn out

293
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.279
<v Speaker 2>for me for KARS one. But yeah, you know.

294
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.200
<v Speaker 4>They'll be right outside the studio. Yeah, on September twenty sixth.

295
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.360
<v Speaker 2>If you're not there, I didn't know you got paid.

296
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.279
<v Speaker 2>You'll receive, as set by state law, twelve dollars and

297
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.919
<v Speaker 2>fifty cents for each day of jury service. I mean

298
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:57.159
<v Speaker 2>that's that's a raise. I mean, come on, it says

299
00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:00.879
<v Speaker 2>here the law says an employer shall not to private

300
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:05.600
<v Speaker 2>employee of employment threaten or course and employee regarding jury service.

301
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.919
<v Speaker 2>So you hear that, iHeart. Don't you try to bully

302
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:12.200
<v Speaker 2>me out of my duty to the fine folks of

303
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Bullet County.

304
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:14.679
<v Speaker 3>Like that.

305
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.519
<v Speaker 2>It's my document they gave me. The last time I

306
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.840
<v Speaker 2>got some serious document in the mail from you know,

307
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, from the government, was when I got the

308
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Code Enforcement called on me. You know that story.

309
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:27.559
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah in your neighborhood.

310
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I still get pissed about that thinking about it.

311
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:34.440
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, I handled it professionally like a

312
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.159
<v Speaker 2>mature adult, which has led me to you know, probably

313
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.120
<v Speaker 2>the way I dealt with that with their coat, with

314
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:42.039
<v Speaker 2>the the Code Enforcement sending me a violation for having

315
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.159
<v Speaker 2>a flat tire on a vehicle, in my driveway for

316
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:47.759
<v Speaker 2>less than forty eight hours. They probably you know, respected

317
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.440
<v Speaker 2>how I handled it and put me up the ladder

318
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.120
<v Speaker 2>board or the leaderboard there to be a prospective juror

319
00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:54.679
<v Speaker 2>because they trust that I'm going to make the right

320
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:59.120
<v Speaker 2>decision when it comes to, you know, jury duty. And honestly,

321
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:01.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about it on the show to put it

322
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:04.159
<v Speaker 2>out there in the world that way. As we get closer,

323
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.159
<v Speaker 2>maybe somebody reminds me if I forget, because I would

324
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.399
<v Speaker 2>be that guy they just like, oh crap, I got

325
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:14.159
<v Speaker 2>to go to Jerry duty. But anyways, most people probably

326
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.919
<v Speaker 2>would be dreading that. For me, I'm excited about it.

327
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Something else I'm excited about. And I've known about this

328
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:21.960
<v Speaker 2>for a few days, but I didn't want to talk

329
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:23.879
<v Speaker 2>about it because I didn't want to, you know, put

330
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:25.600
<v Speaker 2>it out there and then like it not happened. And

331
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.519
<v Speaker 2>I guess that could still happen. But we're a week away,

332
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:33.480
<v Speaker 2>and the communication back and forth leads me to believe that,

333
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:36.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's on. I'm gonna be throwing out the

334
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.840
<v Speaker 2>first pitch at the Louisville Bats game next Thursday. John, Oh,

335
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:45.120
<v Speaker 2>really yeah, And uh, I'm excited. I'm nervous. I feel

336
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:49.679
<v Speaker 2>like I won't do terrible, but then again, like you

337
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.000
<v Speaker 2>stand to benefit from the experience more if you, in

338
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.679
<v Speaker 2>fact do put out there maybe the worst pitch anybody's

339
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:57.320
<v Speaker 2>ever seen.

340
00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Right, you'll definitely get more attention.

341
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I'm not going to do that to the bats.

342
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, they're one me to put it right across

343
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:07.559
<v Speaker 2>the plate forms they get set for a big game

344
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.399
<v Speaker 2>next week on Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, that is, so you know,

345
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:13.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe I might be working i'd be working on the

346
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.039
<v Speaker 2>arm in the next week or so to make sure,

347
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:16.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, I can, I can get it there.

348
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.240
<v Speaker 4>You should walk out with a bush light in your hand. Yeah,

349
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.399
<v Speaker 4>to chug after that.

350
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure that if they've got an official beer

351
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:24.759
<v Speaker 2>that they're partnered with, you know, that probably wouldn't be

352
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:27.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm probably gonna wear a Batch jersey and

353
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna you know, have to tell the crowd many times, hey,

354
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 2>let's calm it down. I know you're fired up to

355
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.200
<v Speaker 2>be here, sold out crowd for me to throw out

356
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.399
<v Speaker 2>the first pitch, but let's let's like, you know, let's

357
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.320
<v Speaker 2>get this done and let these guys get on the field,

358
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 2>and and and get it, get a win. But I am.

359
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:44.759
<v Speaker 2>I am very nervous because I you know, if I

360
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:47.519
<v Speaker 2>if I worried about how I looked doing it, you know,

361
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:49.720
<v Speaker 2>worried about like you know, getting that getting that knee

362
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:53.279
<v Speaker 2>up and winding up like you know, looking as much

363
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.879
<v Speaker 2>like a natural although I'm not as possible. I feel

364
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:58.240
<v Speaker 2>like that would make make it to where I would

365
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.399
<v Speaker 2>probably not get close to the plate and it would

366
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.240
<v Speaker 2>be really embarrassing. But if I just you know, make

367
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.519
<v Speaker 2>sure I got enough strength behind it and it's you know,

368
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:09.360
<v Speaker 2>within not the strike zone, but you know, to where

369
00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:11.720
<v Speaker 2>the guy who's catching doesn't have to you know, run

370
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:14.919
<v Speaker 2>for it, then I feel like I'll be okay. But

371
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.120
<v Speaker 2>it is an honor, so I appreciate the bats including me,

372
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:20.879
<v Speaker 2>and uh, you know, maybe they'll back out because they

373
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:24.039
<v Speaker 2>realize that, you know, I'm not worthy of said honor

374
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:27.919
<v Speaker 2>to throw out the first pitch. But hey, yuh, until

375
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:30.000
<v Speaker 2>they tell me y'ar out, I'm gonna I'm gonna be

376
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:31.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm gonna be working on my arm, making

377
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:35.799
<v Speaker 2>sure i'm ready to you know, to perform. So there

378
00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:38.519
<v Speaker 2>you go. When's the last time you threw baseball?

379
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:41.120
<v Speaker 3>It's a really good question because I do not know

380
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:42.120
<v Speaker 3>the answer, like that.

381
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:44.879
<v Speaker 2>I've thrown an underhand to my four year old son

382
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.600
<v Speaker 2>when we're practicing outside, but like actually throw. I mean again,

383
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:50.519
<v Speaker 2>I've never I mean I never played baseball growing up.

384
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:53.960
<v Speaker 2>In fact, all of my close friends played baseball all

385
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.679
<v Speaker 2>throughout their life. I only played one sport that was basketball.

386
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.399
<v Speaker 2>So like, I've been around baseball, but I remember being

387
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:05.680
<v Speaker 2>super insecure in pe class in high school because I

388
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:09.160
<v Speaker 2>never even like I didn't even some people play a

389
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.519
<v Speaker 2>lot of sports, but they only play. When I say

390
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:13.119
<v Speaker 2>play as a kid, I mean like you'll go play

391
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:15.759
<v Speaker 2>in the neighborhood, you'll go play with friends, but when

392
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.559
<v Speaker 2>it comes to like a sports, you're pursuing to like

393
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:20.279
<v Speaker 2>try out for your team in school and make it

394
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:22.400
<v Speaker 2>like people like for me, that was basketball. But I

395
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:23.839
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of friends who I would play basketball,

396
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:25.119
<v Speaker 2>but they didn't play for the school, but they just

397
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.200
<v Speaker 2>played when we played like pick up and whatnot. I

398
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:29.839
<v Speaker 2>never picked up any bat. I didn't. I didn't. I

399
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:34.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't do anything athletically other than basketball from the time

400
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I was like five years old and at the time

401
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, until you know till ever, like I never

402
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.160
<v Speaker 2>played any other sport. So you know, whenever I trust me,

403
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't say this to brag because it's not really

404
00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:44.920
<v Speaker 2>worth bragging. But like, and when I was in high school,

405
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:46.799
<v Speaker 2>by the time I got to be a senior, you know,

406
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:49.119
<v Speaker 2>I was, I had some accolades to where you know,

407
00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:50.880
<v Speaker 2>I was, you know, I was that people knew I

408
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:55.720
<v Speaker 2>played basketball, and you know, I was probably overrated substantially,

409
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.279
<v Speaker 2>But I guess that just led certain people to think

410
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:00.519
<v Speaker 2>that I would be athletic in others sports. But when

411
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:04.319
<v Speaker 2>we got to PE three, that's like you know, junior

412
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:06.799
<v Speaker 2>senior year PE, where it's really just like a waste

413
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:09.119
<v Speaker 2>of a class. I mean it, you know, you do

414
00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:14.519
<v Speaker 2>like baseball, flag football, archery, golf, like it's actually kind

415
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:17.599
<v Speaker 2>of fun. But I was the worst in my class

416
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.039
<v Speaker 2>in PE at every sport other than basketball. Like when

417
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I would like, like when I would like play flag

418
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:26.759
<v Speaker 2>football and I would throw the football, people would be like,

419
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:29.359
<v Speaker 2>what was that? Have you ever thrown a football? And

420
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:30.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, you know what, I don't really think I have,

421
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:35.559
<v Speaker 2>not in like a real way. And you know, I

422
00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:39.119
<v Speaker 2>mean I struck out in will football and PE as

423
00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:41.920
<v Speaker 2>a as a high school junior. Like you know that's

424
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.039
<v Speaker 2>a tough look to take. Oh hell yeah, it's a

425
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:47.160
<v Speaker 2>core memory, you know, cause I'm super competitive. But it

426
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.400
<v Speaker 2>was only in one sport. It's the only you know,

427
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:53.079
<v Speaker 2>in my addictive personality, it consumed everything of me to

428
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.400
<v Speaker 2>where I didn't have any interest, didn't care, didn't participate

429
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.960
<v Speaker 2>in any other sport. And you know, oh dude, I

430
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.160
<v Speaker 2>remember running around playing soccer like you know, no joke,

431
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:06.279
<v Speaker 2>just like instincts like I just picked the ball up

432
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:10.680
<v Speaker 2>one time. I mean, just like I have no natural

433
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:13.720
<v Speaker 2>instincts when it comes to sports at all now, but

434
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:15.799
<v Speaker 2>like when I did as a kid, it was just basketball.

435
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.480
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, I'll try not to embarrass myself too much.

436
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.759
<v Speaker 2>But I have had people telling me, you actually stand

437
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:24.279
<v Speaker 2>to make the most of this experience if you go

438
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:26.599
<v Speaker 2>out there and you are awful at throwing the first pitch.

439
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:28.720
<v Speaker 2>But I'm not gonna make it about me. It's about

440
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:31.279
<v Speaker 2>the Louisville Bats and the great organization that they have there.

441
00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Shout out to Greg Galliet, who has consistently made the

442
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Bats the premiere franchise in tripa A Baseball with all

443
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:42.559
<v Speaker 2>their great promotions that they do. You know, So again,

444
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:44.240
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to that and if you want to come

445
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:44.759
<v Speaker 2>heckle me.

446
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:46.799
<v Speaker 3>Have at it.

447
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:48.359
<v Speaker 2>That could actually make it a lot of fun. We're

448
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:50.039
<v Speaker 2>gonna have the camera roll, and that's really what it is.

449
00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:52.839
<v Speaker 2>It's a social media appearance thing with the Bats to

450
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.920
<v Speaker 2>where I'm there, I'm probably gonna embarrass myself and I'm

451
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:59.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna share it with everybody to laugh at me. So

452
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.559
<v Speaker 2>assume that's why the Bats are interested here.

453
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:03.359
<v Speaker 3>Card boy becomes bat boy.

454
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like what if I did, like put it over

455
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:09.880
<v Speaker 2>the plate and it was like impressive, not happening. Don't

456
00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:12.079
<v Speaker 2>think it will. Don't think there's a scenario that it does.

457
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:15.440
<v Speaker 2>But like if it did, like maybe maybe that turns

458
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:16.839
<v Speaker 2>into like the career change from.

459
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.039
<v Speaker 4>You think instincts kind of just kick in and you

460
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:21.359
<v Speaker 4>just do one of those like Kulk type of I

461
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.000
<v Speaker 4>don't even want to call them growls or whatever.

462
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:24.680
<v Speaker 2>You just kind of get excited that you threw a

463
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:27.000
<v Speaker 2>good pack, like if I'm bringing the gas. Yeah, like

464
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:29.000
<v Speaker 2>in the pitcher or the catcher, I'm sorry, I don't

465
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.920
<v Speaker 2>even know the positions. Again to give you my knowledge

466
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:35.480
<v Speaker 2>of baseball, you know, And I mean this was more

467
00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:39.200
<v Speaker 2>just me flustered because I was, you know, I knew

468
00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:41.799
<v Speaker 2>I was not equipped to be a umpire for the

469
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Chris Mack softball game where the basketball team played softball,

470
00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:48.519
<v Speaker 2>But I was an umpire and instead of calling it

471
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.720
<v Speaker 2>second base, I called it second plate. So that you know,

472
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:54.519
<v Speaker 2>that tells you where I am as far as as

473
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:57.240
<v Speaker 2>far as baseball. But like, imagine the catcher like rip it.

474
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'll maybe I'll give them a fifty or something

475
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:02.680
<v Speaker 2>and half him once. If he catches it, take the

476
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:04.599
<v Speaker 2>glove off, and like act as if your arm is

477
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:07.279
<v Speaker 2>your hand is hurting because I've brought the heat. Like

478
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:09.799
<v Speaker 2>that would be fun. He probably wouldn't want to do that.

479
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:12.599
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, all right, we got a lot to get

480
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:15.839
<v Speaker 2>into today. I'm anxious to talk a little more about

481
00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:20.920
<v Speaker 2>the expectations for Louisville football in this season specifically, and

482
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:24.039
<v Speaker 2>what I mean by that is we've exhausted all different

483
00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:27.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, discussions you can have as far as this scenario,

484
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:31.359
<v Speaker 2>that scenario, toughest stretch of the schedule. You know, what

485
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:36.599
<v Speaker 2>would be considered staying, you know, maintaining what bronded in

486
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:38.519
<v Speaker 2>year one, what would be viewed as a step back,

487
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:41.240
<v Speaker 2>will be viewed as a step forward. But you know,

488
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:46.880
<v Speaker 2>expectations really are are forgotten about once the season starts

489
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:48.599
<v Speaker 2>and you kind of get a sense for really where

490
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:51.920
<v Speaker 2>you are. But I think the portal has made it

491
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:57.319
<v Speaker 2>to where fans, myself included, are a little more hesitant

492
00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:02.519
<v Speaker 2>to really throw out legit legitimate expectations, the legitimate bar

493
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:06.640
<v Speaker 2>to meet because we all know when you have a

494
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:08.640
<v Speaker 2>new team and little don't have a brander team, they've

495
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.680
<v Speaker 2>got a lot back that I'm excited about. But when

496
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.200
<v Speaker 2>you have like so many new players that you're going

497
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:17.279
<v Speaker 2>to be depending upon in a major way that are transfers,

498
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:19.720
<v Speaker 2>like you just never know. I mean, the reality is

499
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:21.200
<v Speaker 2>you never know how good any team's going to be.

500
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Could that could have been said before the portal existed, right,

501
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Like teams are expected to be good they're terrible. Teams

502
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:28.519
<v Speaker 2>are expected to be terrible they're good, Like you just

503
00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:31.960
<v Speaker 2>never know. That's not something that happens that often, but

504
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.839
<v Speaker 2>occasionally you can be way wrong about a team. But now, like,

505
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.319
<v Speaker 2>I think it's just gonna be like the off season narrative,

506
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.039
<v Speaker 2>the off season rankings and the preseason chatter and all that,

507
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:43.400
<v Speaker 2>like it'll still always be there, but I think people

508
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:45.400
<v Speaker 2>are gonna put much less into it because we're all

509
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna realize with free agency, you just you have to

510
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:50.839
<v Speaker 2>wait and see are guys going to be able to

511
00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:52.640
<v Speaker 2>do what they were brought in to do? Are they

512
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:55.759
<v Speaker 2>going to be able to get acclimated to a higher

513
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:59.319
<v Speaker 2>level if they're transferring from FCS or G five. And

514
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:01.839
<v Speaker 2>I think from now until the end of time, you're

515
00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:05.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna have examples of of everything that doesn't give you

516
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:08.440
<v Speaker 2>a real feel for what you know. Like, for example,

517
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:12.119
<v Speaker 2>there'll be guys this year that you didn't expect to

518
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:14.720
<v Speaker 2>be a big, a big addition for a school because

519
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:17.200
<v Speaker 2>they came from a G five and their numbers weren't

520
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:20.039
<v Speaker 2>that impressive, but man, they're flourishing in this new role

521
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:22.440
<v Speaker 2>with this program. You'll have guys that you felt like,

522
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:25.400
<v Speaker 2>oh wow, this dude, he's gonna be special. Like who's

523
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:29.480
<v Speaker 2>the kid at Oklahoma that transferred to UH to Oregon

524
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:34.039
<v Speaker 2>who had played at Central Florida initially Dylan Gabriel. Gabriel, Like,

525
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:35.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, he was good everywhere, He's been good everywhere

526
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:37.599
<v Speaker 2>he's been. Maybe he goes to Oregon and he stinks.

527
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:39.759
<v Speaker 2>You know, you just never know. I'm not saying he will,

528
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:41.519
<v Speaker 2>but I'm just using him as an example. So with

529
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:46.160
<v Speaker 2>all that said, I feel like, you know, people want

530
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:47.920
<v Speaker 2>to hate, they better get nine and three or it's

531
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.519
<v Speaker 2>a failure or they if they if you know, and

532
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:52.240
<v Speaker 2>I get why people do that. I'm not telling you

533
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.720
<v Speaker 2>not to do that, but I just think there's more

534
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:56.319
<v Speaker 2>and more awareness from fans as far as like you

535
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:01.960
<v Speaker 2>just never know. Also, we got a real acc basketball

536
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:05.559
<v Speaker 2>off season ranking to reference from the Athletic much different

537
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:09.559
<v Speaker 2>than John Rothstein's. So stick with us. We're loaded the

538
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:12.079
<v Speaker 2>rest of the way again. Kit Spencer from WHAS eleven

539
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:13.759
<v Speaker 2>is going to join us at four h five. Right here,

540
00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:16.039
<v Speaker 2>it's Coffee and Company Field. Beth Thornton's on Sports Talk

541
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:21.480
<v Speaker 2>seven ninety. Are we Notre Dame Super Bowl? I mean

542
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame just announced that they've sold out the September

543
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:28.559
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighth game against Louisville, encouraging everybody to wear green.

544
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:33.119
<v Speaker 2>Louisville fans invaded, and I mean absolutely invaded South Bend.

545
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.119
<v Speaker 2>And I won't claim like it was something they've never

546
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:40.079
<v Speaker 2>never seen before, because I'm sure when they have the

547
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:41.839
<v Speaker 2>chance to host a big opponent, and I'm not seeing

548
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Louisville some huge opponent for them, but they did sell

549
00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:45.839
<v Speaker 2>it out, and I don't even know. I'm not even

550
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:49.079
<v Speaker 2>sure how often that happens this far ahead, but that

551
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:51.839
<v Speaker 2>was something I'll always remember, is seeing how many Louisville

552
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:54.440
<v Speaker 2>fans in twenty fourteen made the trip to South Bend

553
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:56.119
<v Speaker 2>for that game, which of course was a big win

554
00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:59.079
<v Speaker 2>at that time. Reggie Bonifin, as you're starting quarterback. And

555
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.920
<v Speaker 2>since then Louisville has I guess gone one in one

556
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.599
<v Speaker 2>since since then. They played them in two thousand and

557
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:10.319
<v Speaker 2>it was Satterfield's first year. They were competitive, I guess no, no,

558
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:13.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. Now they're two and two all time. They

559
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:18.839
<v Speaker 2>played them in fourteen and and one lost two games.

560
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.240
<v Speaker 2>One in eighteen was sadfields first year. I think it was. Yeah,

561
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:24.640
<v Speaker 2>I lost that one. Played him in twenty twenty in

562
00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:27.160
<v Speaker 2>the COVID year, which was a weird twenty twenty one,

563
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:29.400
<v Speaker 2>I should say, excuse me, or no, it was twenty twenty,

564
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:31.880
<v Speaker 2>wasn't It was that that long ago when we played

565
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:36.160
<v Speaker 2>football with like no fans. There was that four years ago. Yeah, gosh,

566
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:39.440
<v Speaker 2>that's crazy to me, but yeah, nobody, I mean fans.

567
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess maybe some fans could go but

568
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:42.880
<v Speaker 2>if you remember, there was like nobody there because they

569
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:47.079
<v Speaker 2>didn't allow full capacity, so that game Louisville was competitive.

570
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:49.559
<v Speaker 2>It was a bad year for Louisville overall, and expectations

571
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:53.119
<v Speaker 2>were high and they ended up competing but fell short.

572
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:54.920
<v Speaker 2>And then of course last year a big win for him.

573
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:58.160
<v Speaker 2>So that'll mean that'll be your first chance to I think,

574
00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:01.359
<v Speaker 2>really see where you are on thede Notre Dame. As

575
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:04.079
<v Speaker 2>of now, Notre Dame is a top ten team preseason,

576
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:08.440
<v Speaker 2>so I guess depending on what they do against A

577
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:12.039
<v Speaker 2>and M and their opener that But I mean, what

578
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:13.799
<v Speaker 2>is Notre Dame rank? Now? Let me pull it up here,

579
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:18.640
<v Speaker 2>because they are in the top ten I believe, unless

580
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I've made that up, but yeah, here we go. The

581
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame is number seven in the country right now,

582
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:26.240
<v Speaker 2>which I gotta be honest, I don't know I believe that,

583
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:28.559
<v Speaker 2>but either way, that's where they are. So they could

584
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:30.240
<v Speaker 2>lose to A and M, which I don't think they will,

585
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:32.839
<v Speaker 2>and they'll still be ranked right like they're not gonna

586
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean they clearly if they lose to A and M,

587
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:39.599
<v Speaker 2>they won't be top ten. And if they end up

588
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:42.319
<v Speaker 2>in their fors like For example, here's something that you

589
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:48.160
<v Speaker 2>know is unavoidable, but you know you can't control it.

590
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:51.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's it's you know, I'm not angry about it,

591
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:52.960
<v Speaker 2>but it's just the reality of the situation. If A

592
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:57.000
<v Speaker 2>and M was to beat Notre Dame and then Notre

593
00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Dame beats Northern Illinois, Perdue, Miami of Ohio, and they're

594
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:02.920
<v Speaker 2>still ranked after that, because right their loss was at

595
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:06.279
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Field and College Station, A and M somehow is

596
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:09.240
<v Speaker 2>a top twenty team. They probably, you know, if they

597
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:10.960
<v Speaker 2>lost a close game at A and M, and they

598
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:13.519
<v Speaker 2>beat Northern Illinois and beat Perdue and beat Miami of Ohio,

599
00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:16.480
<v Speaker 2>which they're going to, they're probably looking at, I don't know,

600
00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:20.480
<v Speaker 2>being ranked seventeenth or something. That's just a guess. Wouldn't

601
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:22.240
<v Speaker 2>you say that'd be somewhat reasonable, John.

602
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:24.880
<v Speaker 4>Somewhere between that and maybe at the highest like thirteen,

603
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:27.000
<v Speaker 4>depends on how the rest of the field shakes up.

604
00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:29.640
<v Speaker 2>So then if they lose to Louisville and their losses

605
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:32.599
<v Speaker 2>are Louisville at A and M, whereas Northern Illinois, Perdue

606
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:34.960
<v Speaker 2>and Miami are their wins, no one is going to

607
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:37.000
<v Speaker 2>give Louisville any credit for beating them. They're going to

608
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:39.799
<v Speaker 2>start talking about how their head coach is in over

609
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:42.519
<v Speaker 2>his head and this is this is the because I've

610
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:44.680
<v Speaker 2>said that when Notre Dame has come up all off season,

611
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:46.559
<v Speaker 2>not that we've spent a lot of time talking about them.

612
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:48.920
<v Speaker 2>This is a huge year for their head coach. Why

613
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.519
<v Speaker 2>can I think of his name, Marcus free Yes, Marcus Freeman.

614
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:55.319
<v Speaker 2>It's a huge year for him because he's not been terrible,

615
00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:57.559
<v Speaker 2>but he hasn't really had a great moment or a

616
00:27:57.559 --> 00:27:59.640
<v Speaker 2>great season yet. Now this is year three, right, so

617
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:02.359
<v Speaker 2>therefore or it's relatively early, but I think year three

618
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:05.680
<v Speaker 2>because Notre Dame doesn't accept mediocrity, and mediocrity for Notre

619
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:08.559
<v Speaker 2>Dame is quite honestly, exactly what he has done recently.

620
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:11.200
<v Speaker 2>People could say what they want about Brian Kelly. He

621
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:13.240
<v Speaker 2>was good at Notre Dame. He was really good there,

622
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:14.960
<v Speaker 2>and they got their ass kicked in the playoff when

623
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:16.480
<v Speaker 2>they made it. They got their ass kicked in the

624
00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:18.839
<v Speaker 2>National Championship game when they made it. But that doesn't

625
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:20.480
<v Speaker 2>mean they didn't deserve to be there. That means they

626
00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:22.480
<v Speaker 2>lost to a team that, to be honest with you,

627
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:23.799
<v Speaker 2>if you go and look at the teams that beat

628
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:25.799
<v Speaker 2>them in the postseason, there were usually teams that we

629
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:29.559
<v Speaker 2>knew were flat out better than them. So I'm a

630
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:31.640
<v Speaker 2>little worried about that, But again, you can't control it.

631
00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Like I talked about it last year, not to say

632
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:35.240
<v Speaker 2>that I can predict the future, but let's be honest.

633
00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:38.680
<v Speaker 2>We looked at Louisville schedule a year ago and we

634
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:43.480
<v Speaker 2>could see just be prepared. Louisville's going to be winning games,

635
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:46.160
<v Speaker 2>and we thought they'd be blowing some teams out. They

636
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:48.119
<v Speaker 2>didn't do that right because some of the games, like

637
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:49.880
<v Speaker 2>even Georgia Tech, although they blew them out in the

638
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:51.839
<v Speaker 2>second half, that game was a little close for comfort.

639
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:54.079
<v Speaker 2>They were down at halftime and they still ended up

640
00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:55.880
<v Speaker 2>winning and they didn't have to sweat it out at

641
00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:57.839
<v Speaker 2>the end. But you know, that was a game you

642
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:00.160
<v Speaker 2>probably thought you'd have no trouble with and you were

643
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:02.799
<v Speaker 2>in trouble for you know, a stretch of that game. Indiana.

644
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:05.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't think anybody knew at the time Indiana was

645
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:07.279
<v Speaker 2>going to be a three win team, but Indiana was

646
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:09.480
<v Speaker 2>at four wins. I'm sorry those three was it three?

647
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:11.400
<v Speaker 2>So Indiana, you know that was a close game. I

648
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:14.359
<v Speaker 2>mean that's a game, to be honest with you, you could

649
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:16.720
<v Speaker 2>have easily lost. I mean, Indiana wasn't good, and yet

650
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:18.960
<v Speaker 2>they came out at halftime, did they do an onside

651
00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:21.519
<v Speaker 2>kick to start to have and that switched, That flipped

652
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:23.319
<v Speaker 2>the momentum in a major way. And really it was

653
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:26.920
<v Speaker 2>the defense making plays. You know, got a big stop.

654
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:29.480
<v Speaker 2>I believe in the that the goal line, and that

655
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:31.519
<v Speaker 2>led to you know, Louisville being able to hold on

656
00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:34.359
<v Speaker 2>and get the win. So sure enough, they ended up

657
00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:38.720
<v Speaker 2>starting the season five. And oh and whenever there's talk

658
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:42.079
<v Speaker 2>about Louisville, you know, before that Notre Dame game, I

659
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:44.359
<v Speaker 2>kept telling everybody, look, they're gonna be five, and oh

660
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:46.839
<v Speaker 2>they might be ranked around that time, which they were.

661
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:48.920
<v Speaker 2>I think they just snuck in the rankings when that happened,

662
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and everybody's going to be claiming, oh, wow, their schedule stinks.

663
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:54.000
<v Speaker 2>They haven't played anybody. I mean, I think I even

664
00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:56.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and again, it ended up playing out where

665
00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:59.519
<v Speaker 2>you're only lost before you got to Kentucky was Pittsburgh,

666
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:01.720
<v Speaker 2>which is easy to think about, but I remember looking

667
00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:04.160
<v Speaker 2>at the schedule last year and just knowing what we

668
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:06.680
<v Speaker 2>were in for. Meaning let's say you get to the

669
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:12.079
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky game and you are ten to one, but your

670
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:14.160
<v Speaker 2>only loss is to Notre Dame, who ended up being

671
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:16.920
<v Speaker 2>the only ranked team you played. Everybody's going to crap

672
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:18.920
<v Speaker 2>on your schedule. What we didn't know is that Duke

673
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:21.240
<v Speaker 2>would be ranked when you beat him twenty three to nothing,

674
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:23.519
<v Speaker 2>and in the end, NC State ended up being a

675
00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:25.559
<v Speaker 2>good team. That win had more value at the end

676
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:28.400
<v Speaker 2>of the year than you would have expected. Miami not

677
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:30.640
<v Speaker 2>really sure what was where they were at that time,

678
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:32.599
<v Speaker 2>but you know you've been to Miami and you won,

679
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:36.720
<v Speaker 2>So just be prepared. Louisville fans, I know a lot

680
00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:39.359
<v Speaker 2>of us are sensitive to those that you know play

681
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:42.880
<v Speaker 2>the whole Hey, you know, and that's really not just Louisville.

682
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:45.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure it's a common thing everywhere in college football.

683
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:50.279
<v Speaker 2>When you want to discredit a team who's winning a lot,

684
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:53.359
<v Speaker 2>you find their schedule and pick apart teams they've beat.

685
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Is if that means well, even though they've won nine

686
00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:58.799
<v Speaker 2>of ten games, they can't be good. Look who they've played, like.

687
00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:00.839
<v Speaker 2>That's just part of it. But I'm telling you, if LIU,

688
00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:02.839
<v Speaker 2>and that's why I want Notre Dame to win. I

689
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:04.920
<v Speaker 2>want notred to be undefeated and maybe a top five

690
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:07.480
<v Speaker 2>team when you go to South Bend on September twenty eighth,

691
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:09.279
<v Speaker 2>which is possible. I mean, they're gonna be favored over

692
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Texas A and M. Right, is there an early line

693
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:14.079
<v Speaker 2>on that game? I need to look because I'm not

694
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:15.519
<v Speaker 2>a believer in A and M at all this year,

695
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:17.240
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not really a believer in Notre Dame as

696
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:18.640
<v Speaker 2>far as you know, being a team that could contend

697
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:21.640
<v Speaker 2>for a national championship. But in fact, that'll be a

698
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:24.960
<v Speaker 2>good game just because it's the first game for Elko

699
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:28.240
<v Speaker 2>and with Freeman, it's a big opportunity for him to

700
00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:30.960
<v Speaker 2>get a top twenty five road win against an SEC

701
00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:34.759
<v Speaker 2>team in an atmosphere that is believed to be one

702
00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:35.599
<v Speaker 2>of the best in the country.

703
00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:37.960
<v Speaker 3>Early line is minus two Texas A and M.

704
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, I'm taking Notre Dame, although I probably shouldn't

705
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:43.119
<v Speaker 2>because I don't trust I don't trust Freeman. I mean,

706
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:46.920
<v Speaker 2>he's handsome as hell, he seems like a really good dude,

707
00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:49.480
<v Speaker 2>looks like he could still play right now. But like,

708
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:51.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why they gave him that job. To

709
00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:55.039
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you, like Notre Dame. I mean they could.

710
00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:57.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, in fact, I do remember at the time

711
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:01.160
<v Speaker 2>that job opened up, I really thought that Notre Dame

712
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:04.599
<v Speaker 2>would call Jeff Brown, and I remember thinking, like, that's

713
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:06.079
<v Speaker 2>an old brainer. They should pick up the phone and

714
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:08.039
<v Speaker 2>call him and he would go there. And like I

715
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:10.359
<v Speaker 2>remember thinking, well, if he's at Notre Dame, he didn't

716
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:13.440
<v Speaker 2>leave a Notre Dame for Louisville. Luckily they didn't want him.

717
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:15.880
<v Speaker 2>And now Marcus Freeman is oh to one about to

718
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:18.400
<v Speaker 2>be er to two against Jeff Brohm this season.

719
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:19.599
<v Speaker 3>Do you hear?

720
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.599
<v Speaker 2>I said that with some confidence, had some fire, So

721
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:28.640
<v Speaker 2>I was. I saw the tweet from the Notre Dame

722
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:32.000
<v Speaker 2>football account about Notre Dame, and it reminded me. I

723
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:34.440
<v Speaker 2>knew there was something very memorable from the vibe check

724
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:37.680
<v Speaker 2>at the Notre Dame game. So I went to my

725
00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:41.400
<v Speaker 2>media library here and I found this interview that like,

726
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:46.240
<v Speaker 2>I hope somebody can help me link up with these

727
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:49.519
<v Speaker 2>two young men in South Bend, these Notre Dame fans

728
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:52.559
<v Speaker 2>that came to Louisville, who, I gotta be honest with you,

729
00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:57.119
<v Speaker 2>I trolled them as good as I've ever trolled anybody.

730
00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Here's the clube did you ever meet Manti tales girlfriend?

731
00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:01.359
<v Speaker 2>Did not?

732
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Did not. She's not a thing.

733
00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:09.839
<v Speaker 2>She's a dude. Remember, are you serious, sir? Your way

734
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:13.160
<v Speaker 2>the documentary? You're telling me the Manta Tao's girlfriend is

735
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:13.519
<v Speaker 2>not real.

736
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:14.240
<v Speaker 3>She is not real.

737
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:18.880
<v Speaker 2>It's like the cats in the school. Excuse me, like

738
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:24.359
<v Speaker 2>like like the like how people dress up as cats

739
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:24.880
<v Speaker 2>in school?

740
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:25.839
<v Speaker 3>Like they're fake?

741
00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:31.039
<v Speaker 2>Who dresses up as cats in school? Everyone? Not me? Weird?

742
00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, but like the old you know what I'm saying,

743
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:36.960
<v Speaker 2>But you are real. Fanta Tat's girlfriend is not real.

744
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:37.680
<v Speaker 2>That's correct.

745
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:38.640
<v Speaker 3>She was fake.

746
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:41.880
<v Speaker 2>There's no way you're telling he's strolling us.

747
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:44.759
<v Speaker 3>We are not trolling. So what happened?

748
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:45.799
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

749
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:47.440
<v Speaker 3>He said he had a girlfriend. He didn't.

750
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:51.319
<v Speaker 2>It was like, who hasn't done that? Right? Exactly? Come

751
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:52.880
<v Speaker 2>this way, they're gone when you get hit by a car.

752
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:55.079
<v Speaker 2>But you guys know in school, you're like, oh, yeah,

753
00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:56.640
<v Speaker 2>I got a girlfriend. She goes to different school. That's

754
00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:59.799
<v Speaker 2>kind of the Manta Tato thing. Yeah yeah yeah, so

755
00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:02.960
<v Speaker 2>like he was Mantaitao was like just wanted people to

756
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:07.480
<v Speaker 2>think he had a girl, but he did. Yeah right, yeah,

757
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel bad now.

758
00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:11.960
<v Speaker 4>There's part of me that thinks at least one of

759
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:14.920
<v Speaker 4>them wiknew that you were trolling.

760
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:17.519
<v Speaker 2>No, they're so young though you didn't see the visual.

761
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:19.599
<v Speaker 2>If you see the visual, I think you would, you would,

762
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:21.840
<v Speaker 2>you would, you would probably think I'm a Jersey.

763
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Think they're younger than me.

764
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I would bet they're like twenty one or

765
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:29.079
<v Speaker 2>something like that. That'd be my guess. But uh yeah,

766
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:33.440
<v Speaker 2>that that's an old timer for me, just because, like,

767
00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:35.559
<v Speaker 2>if you again the visual, will I think confirm that

768
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:39.119
<v Speaker 2>these kids had no clue that like I was, I was,

769
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:42.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, trying to make a joke. They thought I thought,

770
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:44.159
<v Speaker 2>man Tatio's a good friend was real. But then again,

771
00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:46.239
<v Speaker 2>with them being as young as they are, let's say

772
00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:49.599
<v Speaker 2>they were twenty one last year. That happened when they

773
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:53.920
<v Speaker 2>were nine. That was so like the may Titao fake

774
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:57.760
<v Speaker 2>girlfriend thing. It is still, in my opinion, one of

775
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:00.559
<v Speaker 2>the most unbelievable things that's ever happened in sports. And

776
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:04.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean that that's not hyperbole. Like the entire country

777
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:06.920
<v Speaker 2>is mourning the death of somebody that doesn't exist because

778
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:10.760
<v Speaker 2>they think that she's the girlfriend of the guy who

779
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:12.880
<v Speaker 2>is the face of college football at the time. And

780
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:15.280
<v Speaker 2>all it took was a little bit of internet slothing

781
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:17.000
<v Speaker 2>to figure out that it's not real. And that was

782
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:18.719
<v Speaker 2>that's what really stood out of the documentary. But the

783
00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:22.239
<v Speaker 2>documentary from Netflix last year about or maybe it was

784
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:26.440
<v Speaker 2>two years ago, about this this entire scandal. Whenever it

785
00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:28.960
<v Speaker 2>was like whenever they released it, there were a lot

786
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:31.239
<v Speaker 2>of people again like young, like do you remember that

787
00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:32.239
<v Speaker 2>at all? Like you you're twenty.

788
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:33.159
<v Speaker 3>I was six middle school.

789
00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:34.960
<v Speaker 4>I remember that being like a joke that we would

790
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:36.679
<v Speaker 4>mention in in class and stuff like that.

791
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:38.360
<v Speaker 3>Like I didn't know any of the details.

792
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:43.239
<v Speaker 2>It became a national story. But I feel like if

793
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:45.719
<v Speaker 2>you'd asked me last year when that happened, I just said,

794
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:48.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Six seven years ago, I don't think

795
00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I would have remembered that Mantaiteo had not played college

796
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:56.800
<v Speaker 2>football since two thousand and eleven. Like it's a long

797
00:35:56.840 --> 00:36:01.599
<v Speaker 2>time ago. So anyways, notre name games sold out. So

798
00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:03.760
<v Speaker 2>if you got tickets as a Louisville fan, show up,

799
00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:05.400
<v Speaker 2>show out, I'm sure you can get them on the

800
00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:06.559
<v Speaker 2>secondary market if you want to.

801
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Make the trip.

802
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:09.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break, we'll keep it rolling along here,

803
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:11.239
<v Speaker 2>don't forget. Coming up at four oh five, we will

804
00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:15.880
<v Speaker 2>talk with Ken Spencer from WHAS eleven some bad news

805
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:19.039
<v Speaker 2>for the Kentucky football program as far as injuries. It

806
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:21.039
<v Speaker 2>doesn't sound like it's too serious, but they're running back

807
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:23.039
<v Speaker 2>they brought in to kind of be you know, the

808
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:26.320
<v Speaker 2>guy take Ray Davis's role. Sounds like he's gonna be

809
00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:29.480
<v Speaker 2>out a few weeks to start the season. So we're

810
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:33.119
<v Speaker 2>not hearing a whole lot about the players that have

811
00:36:33.159 --> 00:36:37.320
<v Speaker 2>transferred in from Kentucky or to Kentucky into Louisville in

812
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:39.480
<v Speaker 2>fall camp. And I think some people are starting to worry, like, way,

813
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:42.000
<v Speaker 2>why I'm not hearing more about Tyler Shuck And I

814
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:43.239
<v Speaker 2>just think again, to go back to what I talked

815
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:45.159
<v Speaker 2>about earlier, I think we all just know, hey, what

816
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:47.320
<v Speaker 2>to wait and see, like you just never know? All right,

817
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:49.239
<v Speaker 2>quick break, It's coffee and company. Feel about Thort's right

818
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:53.000
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven ninety. You guys have heard

819
00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:56.159
<v Speaker 2>me talk about it, you know, pretty pretty consistently. As

820
00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:59.559
<v Speaker 2>far as Pat Kelsey since getting the job at Louisville,

821
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:02.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he hadn't coached your game yet. He can't

822
00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:05.440
<v Speaker 2>give us results for us to you know, truly assess,

823
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:09.199
<v Speaker 2>because you know the season hasn't started and to be

824
00:37:09.239 --> 00:37:11.719
<v Speaker 2>honest with you. I mean, you know, results are really

825
00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:14.199
<v Speaker 2>the only thing that matters in the grand scheme of things,

826
00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:16.159
<v Speaker 2>but there's other things that well, I need to find

827
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:17.960
<v Speaker 2>a better way to package that up as a statement

828
00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:22.239
<v Speaker 2>because ultimately results matter more than anything and they're the

829
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:27.239
<v Speaker 2>ultimate factor in your sustainability as a coach. But other

830
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:29.119
<v Speaker 2>things do matter too, and I think we learned that

831
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:32.159
<v Speaker 2>as a fan base during the last couple of errors,

832
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:34.840
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you. So until Pat Kelsey can

833
00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:37.400
<v Speaker 2>give us, you know, a couple of years to really

834
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:39.519
<v Speaker 2>get a feel for how well he's going to do here.

835
00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:43.400
<v Speaker 2>He's done everything right right that he can do as

836
00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:48.039
<v Speaker 2>far as energizing the fan base, getting fans not only excited,

837
00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:50.079
<v Speaker 2>but getting them to open up their wallets and donate

838
00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:52.119
<v Speaker 2>to the faboh two circle. I know a lot of

839
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:54.679
<v Speaker 2>local business leaders that have had a chance to chat

840
00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:57.800
<v Speaker 2>with Pat Kelsey and they feel great about him. You know,

841
00:37:57.840 --> 00:37:59.960
<v Speaker 2>he put together a great roster, by the way, which

842
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:02.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's why fans are excited right out of

843
00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:05.360
<v Speaker 2>the gate for year one. So today he's doing something

844
00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:07.159
<v Speaker 2>else that I just think is another reminded that this

845
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:09.320
<v Speaker 2>guy gets it right. We'll see if he can win enough,

846
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:13.920
<v Speaker 2>because that's something only time will tell. But him showing up,

847
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:16.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if today's moving day or not at

848
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:19.599
<v Speaker 2>u of L. If it was, it wouldn't shock me

849
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:22.960
<v Speaker 2>because you know it's August fifteenth. But he's on campus

850
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:26.880
<v Speaker 2>interacting with students that are there. He's sharing social media

851
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.000
<v Speaker 2>videos with them, I mean, or making social media videos

852
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:33.360
<v Speaker 2>with him, and like that's just again, like he understands

853
00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:36.559
<v Speaker 2>engaging your students is only going to help you. He

854
00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:39.280
<v Speaker 2>did that in a major way at Charleston and at Winthrop,

855
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:43.800
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not sure really any coach has. I mean again,

856
00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:46.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting little ahead of myself here, but just the

857
00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:48.559
<v Speaker 2>video that I'm showing here, I'll let you guys here,

858
00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:51.320
<v Speaker 2>this is Pat Kelsey interacting with one of the with

859
00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:53.159
<v Speaker 2>a handful of students that are over there on campus

860
00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:53.960
<v Speaker 2>at u of L today.

861
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:57.440
<v Speaker 3>Hey, you know this is coach Kelsey.

862
00:38:57.679 --> 00:38:58.519
<v Speaker 2>This is not my phone.

863
00:38:58.559 --> 00:38:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Who's going?

864
00:38:59.000 --> 00:38:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Is this Chuck's phone?

865
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:00.440
<v Speaker 5>Chuck?

866
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Who's my guy here?

867
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:02.000
<v Speaker 5>Will? Will?

868
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Who's my guy here? Who's my guy here?

869
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:05.960
<v Speaker 5>All right, we're gonna move in.

870
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:08.559
<v Speaker 2>And they stopped me on social media.

871
00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:11.280
<v Speaker 5>I saw a thing months ago where after my press

872
00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:13.880
<v Speaker 5>conference on their fraternity to put a.

873
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Big sign up.

874
00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Its at God's house, if you know, you know, if

875
00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:18.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, you know, right.

876
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:22.480
<v Speaker 5>So, so he asked me to say something, and I'm

877
00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:23.280
<v Speaker 5>gonna say it anyway.

878
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:24.159
<v Speaker 3>Hold On, don't tell me.

879
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:26.719
<v Speaker 2>Hey rush five tall.

880
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:30.519
<v Speaker 5>Rushy Tall, whatever that means. These are my guys. They

881
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:32.639
<v Speaker 5>said they're gonna come to games. They said they're gonna

882
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:35.840
<v Speaker 5>tell other students about it. Uh rush by Tall, Hey,

883
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:36.599
<v Speaker 5>the revival.

884
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:37.840
<v Speaker 3>It's real.

885
00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:40.960
<v Speaker 2>So I don't want to present this as like the

886
00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:44.159
<v Speaker 2>coolest thing that's ever happened, because it's not. But it's

887
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:46.400
<v Speaker 2>not something I've seen from any of the other coaches.

888
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:48.559
<v Speaker 2>I know Chris Mack was a round students here and there,

889
00:39:48.599 --> 00:39:51.400
<v Speaker 2>but you know, he just didn't have the personality that is,

890
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:53.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's a little bit of a what do

891
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:58.760
<v Speaker 2>you call it, an introvert like and that like that's

892
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:00.639
<v Speaker 2>not what Pat Kelsey as. It doesn't see, I'm gonna

893
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:04.440
<v Speaker 2>introvert myself, Like, I'm not super outgoing socially. And when

894
00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:07.000
<v Speaker 2>you're the head coach at U of L in basketball,

895
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:09.159
<v Speaker 2>like you don't either have to be like a larger

896
00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:12.559
<v Speaker 2>than live star in that in that world like Rick

897
00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Matino and Diddy Crumb or you've got to be somebody

898
00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:17.840
<v Speaker 2>that really understands your job. Your duty as a head

899
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:20.360
<v Speaker 2>coach is to not just coach and win games. You

900
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:23.360
<v Speaker 2>gotta be in the community. You got to get people excited. Now,

901
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:25.039
<v Speaker 2>if you win at a really high level, that makes

902
00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:26.159
<v Speaker 2>sto where you don't have to do a lot of

903
00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:30.480
<v Speaker 2>that stuff because it's it's not as needed. However, look

904
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:33.840
<v Speaker 2>at what Pat Kelsey inherited, meaning a program that's coming

905
00:40:33.840 --> 00:40:37.800
<v Speaker 2>off of three disastrous seasons and not many wins. I

906
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:40.280
<v Speaker 2>think the fan base was lifeless before he arrives, so

907
00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:43.000
<v Speaker 2>continuing to do these kind of things. Again, I don't

908
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:45.000
<v Speaker 2>want to overstress it as if it means he's gonna

909
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:47.599
<v Speaker 2>be the best coach ever here. But he gets it,

910
00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:51.079
<v Speaker 2>and that is a huge part of it. Up until

911
00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:53.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, you get a chance to really show what

912
00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:56.239
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna do as far as wins and losses, and

913
00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:59.519
<v Speaker 2>even you know, first couple of weeks. I mean, that's

914
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:02.440
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna overanalyze everything. That's what we do. It's while

915
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:05.920
<v Speaker 2>we're such a crazy college basketball fan base. But I

916
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:07.599
<v Speaker 2>don't know, I just i'd love to know, and maybe

917
00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll find out over time as I get to know

918
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:13.199
<v Speaker 2>some people a little bit closer that are attached, like

919
00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:15.599
<v Speaker 2>I would love to know just for my curiosity. Didn't matter,

920
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Like if somebody's urging him to do this and they're

921
00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:22.320
<v Speaker 2>letting him know how important this kind of stuff is.

922
00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Given the timing and circumstance, that wouldn't change it. He's

923
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:27.400
<v Speaker 2>still doing it and it helps and it matters. But

924
00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:29.119
<v Speaker 2>like there's a part of me that thinks he's not

925
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:31.199
<v Speaker 2>being told he just this is kind of who he is,

926
00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:34.840
<v Speaker 2>which again, outside of winning and losing, because that's what

927
00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:38.679
<v Speaker 2>matters the most. Like, we need somebody like this, somebody

928
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:42.000
<v Speaker 2>that you know is going to not only promote the

929
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:46.679
<v Speaker 2>brand in a major way, but also make it quite

930
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:49.000
<v Speaker 2>clear that they appreciate the fact that they are the

931
00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:51.880
<v Speaker 2>guy that is rep that is you know, that has

932
00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:54.360
<v Speaker 2>that logo on their polo, if you know what I'm saying.

933
00:41:54.440 --> 00:41:56.639
<v Speaker 2>So good stuff there, All right, we got two more

934
00:41:56.679 --> 00:41:58.639
<v Speaker 2>hours left. We're gonna talk with the one and the

935
00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:01.800
<v Speaker 2>only spencer here on the other side. He'll join us

936
00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:04.480
<v Speaker 2>at about four oh five and we'll keep the party

937
00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:06.719
<v Speaker 2>rolling along till six o'clock. It's coffee and company. Feel
