<v Speaker 2>Friday night. Hell yeah, I can say night right. It

5
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.079
<v Speaker 2>looks like it's nighttime outside. It'll be dark here in

<v Speaker 2>you know, twenty minutes probably, so good afternoon, good evening.

13
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:38.640
<v Speaker 2>for the last couple of hours, is the one and

14
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:41.079
<v Speaker 2>only Austin Montgomery saw. He will be filling in for

15
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.079
<v Speaker 2>me tomorrow on the postgame show. So you'll be in

16
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 2>good hands and I'll reset here just for those joining

17
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 2>us tomorrow is a game for Louisville that I I've

18
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>My confidence is clearly based off the fact that Louisville

19
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>has looked good since the second half of Boston College.

20
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.520
<v Speaker 2>They carried that momentum over to Clemson and and really

21
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.239
<v Speaker 2>won that game looking like a team that we really

22
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:06.879
<v Speaker 2>hadn't seen all year. And what I mean by that

23
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 2>is Louisville on defense, they were just different. I mean,

24
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 2>I've asked a few guests that have joined us on

25
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 2>the show since that game. I don't know, you know,

26
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>actually I think I asked before the Clemson game because

27
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>the defense was great against Boston College. And yes, Boston

28
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>College isn't a great team anyway. They've since made a

29
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 2>change of quarterback, but if you've watched consistently, the defense

30
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.599
<v Speaker 2>was just different. They were bouncing around and clearly looked

31
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.280
<v Speaker 2>like they had an identity. There wasn't as much confusion,

32
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.879
<v Speaker 2>and they were getting stops getting off the field. And

33
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, they weren't perfect against Clemson, But I don't

34
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 2>know what changed, and I wish I did because it

35
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>would be nice to discuss and pay attention to it.

36
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know if it was less substitutions,

37
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.319
<v Speaker 2>if they truly did, they simplified it to the point

38
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 2>where I just wouldn't have the football brain to see it.

39
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>But whatever it is, I'm hoping and expecting them to

40
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>carry that over once again into this matchup against Stanford.

41
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.239
<v Speaker 2>But you know, Louisville got the breakthrough when their top

42
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 2>twenty team right now in the College FOOTA playoffs, and

43
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:03.159
<v Speaker 2>they're playing the worst team that they've played since their

44
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>opener against Austin. P Like, there's no way to know

45
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 2>that for sure. But you know Stanford right now, I

46
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 2>mean they're let's see here, let me pull up the

47
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.120
<v Speaker 2>numbers again, just get them correct. I know I've mentioned

48
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.360
<v Speaker 2>this at the beginning of the show. They right now

49
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:23.199
<v Speaker 2>are They've allowed twenty three passing touchdowns, which is more

50
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>than anybody in the ACC. They've thrown thirteen interceptions collectively

51
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 2>because they've played a lot of quarterbacks, and they only

52
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.199
<v Speaker 2>have twelve touchdowns on the year. They rank next to

53
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 2>last in the ACC in total offense and total defense.

54
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.479
<v Speaker 2>So you know, they stink, which is why Louis's favored

55
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.439
<v Speaker 2>about twenty points. So them being them is a factor

56
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.520
<v Speaker 2>in the confidence that I have as well. So you know,

57
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:46.400
<v Speaker 2>they need a game like this, you you know, I

58
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, clearly there's not been as much anticipation for

59
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 2>this one as you know, the Clemson game or the

60
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.639
<v Speaker 2>other big games Louisvell's played in this year. But this schedule,

61
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, people knock on Louisville schedule all the time,

62
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 2>and I get it. I mean, in fact, it's not

63
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 2>just Louisville, it's now it's turned into with the comp

64
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 2>with the college football playoff rankings. I mean, you only

65
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 2>play twelve regular season games, right, there's a ton of

66
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.479
<v Speaker 2>teams that have very similar records over the exact same records.

67
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.879
<v Speaker 2>So what do you do. You try to determine who's

68
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>better based off of strength the schedule. And there's some

69
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 2>numbers that that you can put out there that are

70
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 2>relying on these different formulas out there. The College Football

71
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 2>Power Index, you know, the Sagarin ratings are still out there,

72
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Like there's different ways. You know, the sp plus from ESPN,

73
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 2>which is pretty popular, so you know it's something you

74
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 2>can reference, but like it really doesn't tell I mean,

75
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 2>it's not proof, right, So I understand at times why

76
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Louisville has had their schedule questioned, but not this year

77
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 2>like last year. Let's be real, the ACC probably without

78
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.879
<v Speaker 2>realizing it, gave Louisville a gift. Now, they didn't play

79
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 2>teams that were you know, too inten at the end

80
00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>of the year, but they also didn't play the better

81
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 2>teams in the AC and they lost to one of

82
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 2>the worst teams in the ACC in Pittsburgh a year ago.

83
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.240
<v Speaker 2>So like, I'm not going to act like Louisville's schedule

84
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>is picked apart all the time and it's just completely egregious.

85
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I get it. Anybody in the ACC who

86
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.680
<v Speaker 2>does well is going to have people saying, well, you

87
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 2>play in the ACC and like it or not. I

88
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 2>get why they say it because the SEC is historically

89
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 2>a better league, so it's the Big ten. But I

90
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>just wish that the committee would tell us that the

91
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 2>benefit of the doubt is given based off of historically

92
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.240
<v Speaker 2>what a conference has done. I mean that because you know,

93
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 2>there's no other way to justify it other than just knowing,

94
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, basing it off like brand. But if you

95
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:40.839
<v Speaker 2>look at strength of schedule, this is what I'm saying.

96
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Louisville right now has played a schedule that currently ranks

97
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 2>fifteenth in the country. So it's not that they've played

98
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.399
<v Speaker 2>week in and week out Miami and Notre Dame, but

99
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:54.560
<v Speaker 2>they have played I mean, the only three losses are

100
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 2>the teams that right now are in the top fifteen,

101
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>and they did beat a team and Clemson that regardless

102
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 2>if you believe in them or not, you know, there's

103
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.600
<v Speaker 2>still there's still a team that you know is ranked

104
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:08.879
<v Speaker 2>in the top twenty, right behind Louisville, and who knows,

105
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.759
<v Speaker 2>they might end up winning the ACC this year. So

106
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't like playing nobody's late at the

107
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.199
<v Speaker 2>end of the season, but this nobody is a nobody

108
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 2>because they're just really down and you know, they're in

109
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>your league, which still feels weird being Stanford. So when

110
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.279
<v Speaker 2>you've played, you know, with three games left, you've played

111
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:26.839
<v Speaker 2>a schedule that it's the fifteenth toughest schedule in the

112
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.399
<v Speaker 2>country according to this metric, you know, it's nice to

113
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 2>know that, hey, you should be able to not only

114
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 2>take care of business, but you might blow them out.

115
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>And you know, Jacksonville State right now, Again, I'm not

116
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 2>acting like Jacksonville State's good and I'm not saying Louisville

117
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.399
<v Speaker 2>should get more credit for beating rich Rod in Jacksonville State.

118
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where that voice came from, but anyways,

119
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.759
<v Speaker 2>that wasn't my point. But this is the worst team

120
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.279
<v Speaker 2>that Louisvill's played, meaning Stanford, since they played Austin p

121
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Because I think Jacksonville State. If they played head to head,

122
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.120
<v Speaker 2>who knows what would happen. But it's hard for me

123
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 2>to look at what Stanford's done and look at what

124
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 2>you Baxonville State's doing and not think that maybe Stanford

125
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 2>is worse. I mean, Jacksonville State six and three, they

126
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 2>have lost to Louisville. They have a double overtime loss

127
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 2>to Eastern Michigan. I mean, actually, wow, I didn't realize this.

128
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville State started oh and three, hasn't lost since. And yes,

129
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 2>some of their wins are against team they're playing in

130
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the you know, whatever conference it is they play, and

131
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know what it is. So this isn't

132
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:23.959
<v Speaker 2>me saying that they're good. I'm just I'm just stating that,

133
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.079
<v Speaker 2>like Louisville, for the most part, in the last you know,

134
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 2>month and a half, they've played teams that are, you know,

135
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>not juggernauts. Again, not everybody's Miami, not everybody's Notre Dame

136
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:38.199
<v Speaker 2>or SMU or even Clemson. But you know, Virginia is

137
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 2>not a terrible team. And these numbers, again, like what

138
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>it tells you is that when you do play a

139
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:44.959
<v Speaker 2>team that you know you're supposed to beat and you

140
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.920
<v Speaker 2>know that you are better than and you did win

141
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.680
<v Speaker 2>again like Georgia Tech Boston College and and by the way,

142
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 2>they're winn against gege Tech looks better, not because Georgia

143
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 2>Tech's the team to beat Miami. So you know, when

144
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.560
<v Speaker 2>you beat Georgia tach, you beat Boston College in Virginia.

145
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.959
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm not acting like Louisville deserves credit. In fact,

146
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.240
<v Speaker 2>they probably should have played better against Boston College and

147
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:05.920
<v Speaker 2>not been down twenty one nothing. They probably should have

148
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>beat Virginia more than they did. But you're not also

149
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 2>playing a team that's looking at, you know, a two

150
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.600
<v Speaker 2>and ten, three and nine type season, And that's why

151
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 2>the numbers probably surprise people. You know, I guarantee you

152
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 2>there's some sec honks out there, probably Kentucky fans, that

153
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:22.480
<v Speaker 2>when I tell you that Kentucky's played a top or

154
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.439
<v Speaker 2>Louisvill's played a top fifteen schedule, you would say, there's

155
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.240
<v Speaker 2>no way that's true. You're making it up. I've refuse

156
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 2>to believe it. Well, again, there's no way to prove

157
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.759
<v Speaker 2>how tough anybody's schedule is. There's no factual way to

158
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.240
<v Speaker 2>determine whose schedule is the strongest and whose schedule is

159
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:37.519
<v Speaker 2>the weakest. Some of it is all based off of

160
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 2>just opinion or these formulas. And you know, I know

161
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:43.079
<v Speaker 2>that that's the kind of thing that if a Kentucky

162
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:45.079
<v Speaker 2>and an SEC fan here, they would just say, oh no,

163
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 2>there's no I mean, look, they're in the ACC. There's

164
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.800
<v Speaker 2>no way Trinity High School's played a tougher schedule, like

165
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:53.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure people are saying that as we speak. So

166
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:55.920
<v Speaker 2>the remaining strength to schedule for Louisville is sixty three.

167
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.639
<v Speaker 2>So again, you're you've been battle tested enough. You should

168
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:02.240
<v Speaker 2>take care of business. You should absolutely be able to

169
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.120
<v Speaker 2>win out. And if you do that and then you

170
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:06.839
<v Speaker 2>can find a way to win a bowl game whatever

171
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:11.160
<v Speaker 2>that looks like, you get ten wins. And I'm nowhere

172
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 2>near being at a point where I would ever look

173
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.319
<v Speaker 2>at a ten wins season and not say Louisville football

174
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.240
<v Speaker 2>had a good year, maybe a great year. To be

175
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 2>honest with you, it'll feel a little weird knowing that, like, man,

176
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.600
<v Speaker 2>we probably could have done a little bit better than

177
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.600
<v Speaker 2>we did. But still like they go ten to three,

178
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna be complaining. They're looking at these strength

179
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.879
<v Speaker 2>of schedule numbers or something to remind you of Kentucky.

180
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, they've really I mean they've they've had a

181
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:36.600
<v Speaker 2>rough year. Right They played Murray State tomorrow and then

182
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:39.200
<v Speaker 2>they've got Texas at their place, and then they they

183
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.279
<v Speaker 2>host Louisville to wrap up the season in the Governor's

184
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Cup Game. So Kentucky strength to schedule as we speak,

185
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.600
<v Speaker 2>meaning you know, nine to ten games, however many they played,

186
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.240
<v Speaker 2>they are seventh. They played the seventh toughest schedule in

187
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.840
<v Speaker 2>the country. And that probably doesn't surprise a lot of

188
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky fans. And I said it before the season started.

189
00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:59.840
<v Speaker 2>They could be a really good team in maybe finish

190
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.120
<v Speaker 2>in five. But they just literally play one of the

191
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.519
<v Speaker 2>toughest schedules in the country, which is true and it's

192
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:10.840
<v Speaker 2>still true today. However, there's teams that are clearly better

193
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.399
<v Speaker 2>than we anticipated before the season started. But like they

194
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.159
<v Speaker 2>took a step up this year and got better, Kentucky

195
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.919
<v Speaker 2>this year took a giant step back, like South Carolina

196
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:25.759
<v Speaker 2>blew them off the field in Lexington. Vandy, I know,

197
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.279
<v Speaker 2>Vandy's the story of like you know the sit and

198
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.519
<v Speaker 2>your Daddy's Vandy. True, Well, Vandy's not great, like Vandy's

199
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:34.080
<v Speaker 2>getting the benefit, which is a wild thing to say. Here,

200
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:38.600
<v Speaker 2>They're getting the benefit from always sucking out loud Vandy

201
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:40.519
<v Speaker 2>having an impulse is like, Dan, you better watch out

202
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:43.799
<v Speaker 2>in a Vandy team now, I mean, and like that's

203
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:45.440
<v Speaker 2>not really, like it's not really it is. They're winn

204
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.000
<v Speaker 2>against Alabama is insane still, I think one of the

205
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.399
<v Speaker 2>craziest things I've ever seen in college football in my lifetime.

206
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Not an exaggeration, even if Van d ends up struggling

207
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:54.840
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the way, Like, that's just insane that

208
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.440
<v Speaker 2>that happened. But like Vandy lost to Georgia State, right,

209
00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Vandy lost to a Missouri team that Vandy's their best,

210
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.759
<v Speaker 2>Vandy's one game of a five hundred, so you know,

211
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.919
<v Speaker 2>losing to Vandy, losing to South Carolina, losing to Florida

212
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:08.840
<v Speaker 2>when they're way down and thinking that their coach is

213
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:11.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna get canned. At least at the time that game

214
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.200
<v Speaker 2>took place, Auburn didn't have a win. Like Auburn's a

215
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:19.240
<v Speaker 2>big brand, but Auburn sucks Hugh Freezes out after next year,

216
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.799
<v Speaker 2>no doubt. So like Kentucky, they could have had a

217
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:27.440
<v Speaker 2>good team and the record wouldn't have necessarily indicated how

218
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>good they could have been, because man, that's a murderer's

219
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:30.240
<v Speaker 2>road type of schedule.

220
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:31.600
<v Speaker 1>And the real.

221
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:36.919
<v Speaker 2>Reminder of that is this. They're now sitting at one

222
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.080
<v Speaker 2>and six in the sec is it four? They've got

223
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Huler wins, They've got Ole miss South Carolina and two bums,

224
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:49.799
<v Speaker 2>so they got four wins right now, so they could

225
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:51.879
<v Speaker 2>go to a bowl. But they need to beat Texas

226
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:53.879
<v Speaker 2>and beat Louisville. So my point is this, they've already

227
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>crapped the bed to where there's no scenario that they

228
00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I shouldn't say no scenario. I mean, I

229
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.919
<v Speaker 2>guess crazy things have happened, but right now they are

230
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. They have three wins, they're three and six.

231
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:07.399
<v Speaker 2>They'll get their fourth win when they play Murray tomorrow,

232
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.559
<v Speaker 2>so they'll have they'll have the chance to go to

233
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.000
<v Speaker 2>a bowl. But like you know, beating Texas is at

234
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.519
<v Speaker 2>Texas just seems pretty unbelievable. But then again, Texas hasn't

235
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:18.519
<v Speaker 2>beaten anybody, so I don't know. But my point is this,

236
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:24.600
<v Speaker 2>if they would have taken advantage of Vandy, even though

237
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Vandy's better, you should still beat them at your place,

238
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:31.039
<v Speaker 2>Florida stinks. You're up ten to nothing against Auburn lost

239
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty four to ten Tennessee Beach. You about ten in

240
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.519
<v Speaker 2>a game that really probably was closer than than you know,

241
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 2>anybody expected. But my point is this the strength of

242
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.960
<v Speaker 2>schedule currently, and they don't factor in Murray Murray's and

243
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Murray's an FCS team. So again, the remaining strength of

244
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:49.360
<v Speaker 2>schedule rankings right now Kentucky started, or at least as

245
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:50.679
<v Speaker 2>of now. Let me let me, let me, let me

246
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:52.240
<v Speaker 2>pull up these numbers just to make sure I'm not

247
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:57.799
<v Speaker 2>incorrect here. So currently Kentucky's played the seventh toughest schedule

248
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:01.320
<v Speaker 2>as of now, their remaining string the schedule, it's only

249
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.879
<v Speaker 2>factoring in two teams because again Murray doesn't count. So

250
00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:08.159
<v Speaker 2>you know who it's factoring in, Texas and Louisville. Do

251
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:13.559
<v Speaker 2>you know where Kentucky's remaining strength of schedule ranks number one?

252
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:16.200
<v Speaker 2>You know what that's you know, So if you want

253
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.399
<v Speaker 2>to brag on your tough schedule, you know what you're

254
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to do. Acknowledge that Louisville makes your schedule tougher.

255
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Now doesn't mean Louisville's better than some of the teams

256
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:27.840
<v Speaker 2>that you beat that you lost to because she hadn't

257
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:30.080
<v Speaker 2>beat anybody. But that mean Loisll's better than you know,

258
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.320
<v Speaker 2>any of these teams that beat you, because you just

259
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.240
<v Speaker 2>will never know. I mean, I think Louisville would beat Florida.

260
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:35.480
<v Speaker 2>I think they beat Auburn, but I don't know. I

261
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.559
<v Speaker 2>can't tell you that would happen for certain, and maybe

262
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.559
<v Speaker 2>they would lose. That we'll never know. But like when

263
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:44.759
<v Speaker 2>you're trying to justify how bad your season was and

264
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:46.720
<v Speaker 2>you're going to try to maybe use the strength of

265
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:49.679
<v Speaker 2>schedule argument, you're gonna have to acknowledge that your rival

266
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:51.879
<v Speaker 2>was a part of that. Now again, what it does,

267
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:55.480
<v Speaker 2>It gives you a chance to beat them or to

268
00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:57.840
<v Speaker 2>to you know, to to you know, like if Louisville

269
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.360
<v Speaker 2>wins the next these next two games, there's this scenario

270
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.440
<v Speaker 2>they probably calimb up to I don't know, maybe seventeen

271
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:04.159
<v Speaker 2>or sixteen by the time we get to the end

272
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 2>of the year when that game's played, And if Kentucky

273
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.639
<v Speaker 2>limps in there with no hope of a Bowl game

274
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:13.039
<v Speaker 2>four and I guess at that point they'd be what

275
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:17.600
<v Speaker 2>four and seven, and then they somehow beat Louisville. That

276
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:19.759
<v Speaker 2>would probably be one of the more satisfying wins for

277
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky ever. And I'll bring all this up to say, gross,

278
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.399
<v Speaker 2>never underestimate. I don't think it's gonna happen. I really don't.

279
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:29.279
<v Speaker 2>But again, I've been wrong many times about this game.

280
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.159
<v Speaker 2>But let me just say this before we get to break.

281
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Never underestimate how much Kentucky loves beating Louisville and it's

282
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.720
<v Speaker 2>really made them view Mark Stoops probably a little better

283
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.600
<v Speaker 2>than he actually is. He's done really well in this match,

284
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.320
<v Speaker 2>in this series, in the last you know, however, many years,

285
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:52.919
<v Speaker 2>so one or two things is gonna happen. He's gonna

286
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:55.279
<v Speaker 2>lose to Louisville and they're gonna officially say, look, I

287
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:57.399
<v Speaker 2>know you said you're not retiring, but please leave because

288
00:13:57.399 --> 00:13:58.840
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna hit him hard. They know they stink, but

289
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:00.200
<v Speaker 2>if they lose to Louisville for the first time in

290
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.879
<v Speaker 2>a long time, they're gonna lose their mind. Now, if

291
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:08.519
<v Speaker 2>they beat Louisville at a boy, Stoops bringing on back

292
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:12.639
<v Speaker 2>for another year, big fella, we'll get a bunch of

293
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.159
<v Speaker 2>guys in the portal like they're like, again, I'm not

294
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:16.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I am making fun of them, but like

295
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:20.759
<v Speaker 2>they could never ever indicate that they don't value the

296
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:22.919
<v Speaker 2>rivalry in what it does for them win or lose,

297
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.240
<v Speaker 2>and we both do. But they've clearly been able to

298
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:27.799
<v Speaker 2>kind of, I think, view themselves differently as a football

299
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:31.279
<v Speaker 2>program because they've dominated Louisville, and I hope that ends

300
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:32.759
<v Speaker 2>this year. Quick break, we'll come back on the other side.

301
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Keep it rolling along. It's Coffee and Company. Feel about

302
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Thortons right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

303
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:45.360
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Coffee and Company with Nick Coffee on

304
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

305
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:57.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, welcome back in here. We gotta haveout thirty

306
00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:00.000
<v Speaker 2>minutes left here on a Friday afternoon. It's Coffee and Company,

307
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.480
<v Speaker 2>fuel by Thornton's on Sports Talks seven ninety. I would

308
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.279
<v Speaker 2>imagine there are many of you listening right now that

309
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:07.399
<v Speaker 2>have pets. Maybe it's a dog, maybe it's a cat,

310
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.799
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's I don't know. You could have a snake,

311
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:11.399
<v Speaker 2>you could have a bird. I mean, there are a

312
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:13.120
<v Speaker 2>lot of different pets you can have, but I'd say

313
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:14.879
<v Speaker 2>most of you, if you have a pet, it's probably

314
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:16.799
<v Speaker 2>a dog or a cat. But whatever it is, just

315
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.360
<v Speaker 2>know that they are not going to, you know, communicate

316
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.320
<v Speaker 2>with you the same way that humans do because you know,

317
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:25.159
<v Speaker 2>they can't speak. Now, maybe they speak different language and

318
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:27.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean literally like their love language, or

319
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:31.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe you know, I'm not a big pet guy, meaning

320
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.639
<v Speaker 2>I've just never had the connection to one like a

321
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:37.080
<v Speaker 2>lot of people have. But I understand that they're part

322
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:40.080
<v Speaker 2>of your family. But like even even the two dogs

323
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:41.879
<v Speaker 2>that have been in my life for a long time,

324
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:44.679
<v Speaker 2>over my whole life, like they didn't have to say

325
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:46.360
<v Speaker 2>things at times, you could tell all right, somethings bother

326
00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:48.519
<v Speaker 2>them this and that. So my point is they may

327
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.360
<v Speaker 2>not know to tell you, or they may not even

328
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.799
<v Speaker 2>know themselves that they could have something going on when

329
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.000
<v Speaker 2>it comes to their health. So I get it, Like

330
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.440
<v Speaker 2>for me, out of sight, out of mind, you know,

331
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.080
<v Speaker 2>it's just not something you think about when it comes

332
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:04.519
<v Speaker 2>to pets, at least not for me. But our partnership

333
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.600
<v Speaker 2>with the Jeffersonnimal Hospital has really led to me understanding

334
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.480
<v Speaker 2>that that there's probably so many people who lose their

335
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:12.759
<v Speaker 2>pets because of an illness or because something that happens

336
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:17.080
<v Speaker 2>that could have been prevented had they had regular checkups

337
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.440
<v Speaker 2>and just examinations to just see how things are going.

338
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:23.679
<v Speaker 2>So Jeffersonvial Hospital, they've been around since nineteen eighty. They've

339
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:25.879
<v Speaker 2>been in business for forty four years if you can count.

340
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:28.519
<v Speaker 2>And you don't stick around doing anything as long as

341
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.279
<v Speaker 2>they have unless you're doing a really good job and

342
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:35.679
<v Speaker 2>establishing a great reputation in the community. And we appreciate

343
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:37.600
<v Speaker 2>all that they do for the community. They're not only

344
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.080
<v Speaker 2>just open, I mean for forty four years, they're open

345
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:43.320
<v Speaker 2>every second of the day, twenty four hours, three hundred

346
00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:45.799
<v Speaker 2>and sixty five days a year. Jeffersonnimal Hospital is therefore

347
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:47.440
<v Speaker 2>you in case of an emergency, but don't wait for

348
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.480
<v Speaker 2>an emergency to happen to reach out to them. If

349
00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:53.679
<v Speaker 2>you do not have your pet getting regular checkups, examinations,

350
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.159
<v Speaker 2>getting checked out, then this is this is where you

351
00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:59.120
<v Speaker 2>change that you reach out to them. Five h two

352
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:00.919
<v Speaker 2>nine hundred PETS is the number you can go to

353
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.159
<v Speaker 2>Jefferson Vets dot com to get more information. They'll be

354
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.119
<v Speaker 2>happy to hear from you. And uh, you know, you

355
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.400
<v Speaker 2>won't be thinking down the line if something does happen,

356
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:10.640
<v Speaker 2>you won't be worried about, Man, could I have prevented this?

357
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Could I have could I have you know, could I

358
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:15.759
<v Speaker 2>have been a little proactive to just make sure that

359
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.799
<v Speaker 2>my dog, my cat, or whatever is is is healthy.

360
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:21.519
<v Speaker 2>That's a good way to really support our partners, right

361
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:24.240
<v Speaker 2>shaming them in case their pet dies. They could have

362
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:26.839
<v Speaker 2>done something. I mean, well, that's sonding. I don't I

363
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:29.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't mean to. I didn't mean to it. I didn't

364
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:31.000
<v Speaker 2>mean to present it that way, but it just kind

365
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:31.359
<v Speaker 2>of happens.

366
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:33.359
<v Speaker 3>Well, I said that, I was about to ask, and well,

367
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:35.799
<v Speaker 3>before you said that you were a you never really

368
00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:38.279
<v Speaker 3>had pets growing up. I was gonna ask, like, have

369
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:40.279
<v Speaker 3>you ever had like not just like a dog or

370
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:42.160
<v Speaker 3>a cat, have you ever had like an odd like

371
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:44.119
<v Speaker 3>pet before? You know, whether it be like a snake,

372
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.319
<v Speaker 3>a fish, No, nothing like that.

373
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:48.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm boring when it comes to pets. I so whenever

374
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.519
<v Speaker 2>we were we were young, really young, like the family

375
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:56.200
<v Speaker 2>the family pet. When I was a really little kid,

376
00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:58.200
<v Speaker 2>and I mean like barely being able to remember, I'm

377
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:02.480
<v Speaker 2>talking like four or five year old, we had a

378
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:07.480
<v Speaker 2>cat and uh it it ended up. I don't know,

379
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.200
<v Speaker 2>this is sad. I don't really remember, like what I mean,

380
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't really remember if it ran away or not.

381
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure if my sister my mother's listening, they may

382
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:17.880
<v Speaker 2>like one remind me and then say, how could you

383
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:19.960
<v Speaker 2>never remember? It was a tragic situation in our life,

384
00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:22.480
<v Speaker 2>but you know it was a long time ago. Uh.

385
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.240
<v Speaker 2>But as far as a dog, like I've had two

386
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.160
<v Speaker 2>dogs now that I feel like, are you know my

387
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.440
<v Speaker 2>my pets along with my wife, but I inherited them essentially, well,

388
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:35.519
<v Speaker 2>one of them she bought and brought home and it's

389
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:37.759
<v Speaker 2>just been around and he's pretty good. Yeah, But we

390
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:40.119
<v Speaker 2>had a dog when I was a kid that you know,

391
00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:41.759
<v Speaker 2>he was fine, but like I just didn't you know,

392
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.759
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have the we were good because he didn't

393
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:46.440
<v Speaker 2>mess with me. I didn't mess with him, right, Like

394
00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:48.079
<v Speaker 2>if he needed to go out, I'd let him go pee.

395
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:50.079
<v Speaker 2>If he needed to eat, I'd feed him. But like

396
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:53.960
<v Speaker 2>he didn't, he didn't you know, relationship. Yeah, I never

397
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:55.880
<v Speaker 2>made the sentimental connection that a lot of people make

398
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:57.400
<v Speaker 2>it to be honest with you in all seriousness, like

399
00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:59.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm missing out, Like I'm that's a special part

400
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.000
<v Speaker 2>in a a lot of people's lives, meaning the the

401
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.359
<v Speaker 2>love they have for their pet. And when I and

402
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:07.079
<v Speaker 2>this is one thing I will defend people like myself

403
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.599
<v Speaker 2>who haven't had that connection just because you you haven't

404
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:14.200
<v Speaker 2>had that you know, relationship to where you look at

405
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:16.720
<v Speaker 2>your pet it's like your brother or your sister or

406
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:18.480
<v Speaker 2>as your son or daughter. And I don't mean to

407
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.279
<v Speaker 2>get weird, but I know people do that. Like doesn't

408
00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:23.160
<v Speaker 2>mean that I don't like pets. I just I don't.

409
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I can't necessarily relate because I've never like, I like,

410
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:29.480
<v Speaker 2>i'd like I like pets, I like. I mean, I'm

411
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.480
<v Speaker 2>not anti like. It's one thing to be like, you know,

412
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:36.359
<v Speaker 2>anti by the way, who the world would be anti pet?

413
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Like?

414
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:38.359
<v Speaker 2>Who would be anti animal like that? That would be

415
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:40.640
<v Speaker 2>a cold heart a bit, And I'm not and I'm

416
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:43.039
<v Speaker 2>not that. It's just I, you know, I can't really

417
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:45.359
<v Speaker 2>I can't match the level of love you have for

418
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:47.480
<v Speaker 2>your pet because I just have never experienced it just yet.

419
00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:52.079
<v Speaker 2>So but you know, when my when my wife then

420
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:54.799
<v Speaker 2>girlfriend and I became you know, an idem many many

421
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:58.839
<v Speaker 2>years ago. Mercedes shut out of Mercedes. Mercedes has a

00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:04.240
<v Speaker 2>birthday tomorrow. Yeah, she's uh early birthday. She's she's she's

423
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:06.640
<v Speaker 2>the best in the world. But and for those who

424
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:08.400
<v Speaker 2>don't get the reference, that's a great poll by you.

425
00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:12.680
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Venetti got hammered. Jokenetti. Vannetti got hammered

426
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:15.440
<v Speaker 2>at a at a bats game a few years back. And uh,

427
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.680
<v Speaker 2>he'd met my wife many times, and uh, he was

428
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:22.440
<v Speaker 2>pretty sauce and he he looked at her and like

429
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:25.359
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to say something that didn't and she was like,

430
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:28.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, remember my name, do you? And he said

431
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Mercedes and then she just became Mercedes to to Venetti

432
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.279
<v Speaker 2>and all my iHeart people that were there. So but yeah,

433
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:39.240
<v Speaker 2>she she had a she had a dog that she

434
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:41.039
<v Speaker 2>got when she was young, like as a gift, you

435
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:42.519
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying, Like it was a big deal

436
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:43.920
<v Speaker 2>to her. It became a big part of her world.

437
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.000
<v Speaker 2>And he you know, I didn't know it at the time.

438
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:47.680
<v Speaker 2>We never even had a conversation because I feel like

439
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:50.200
<v Speaker 2>if we'd had a conversation, I would have like fought it.

440
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:52.160
<v Speaker 2>But now what I know, I'm glad I didn't fought

441
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:53.680
<v Speaker 2>it because she would have picked that dog over me.

442
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:56.720
<v Speaker 2>We moved in together in an apartment and like he

443
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:58.759
<v Speaker 2>couldn't come to the apartment because we weren't allowed to

444
00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:00.279
<v Speaker 2>have pets. So I just assumed, like, well, that's it,

445
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:02.799
<v Speaker 2>I guess now I know that, you know, he's just

446
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:04.720
<v Speaker 2>going to stay with her dad. And then we bought

447
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:06.440
<v Speaker 2>our first house and like I think he moved in

448
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:08.440
<v Speaker 2>before me, the dog, so you know, he just became

449
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.319
<v Speaker 2>part of our family. And I had a little resistance

450
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:13.079
<v Speaker 2>as far as you know, because he wasn't a great dog.

451
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:14.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and she would even acknowledge that, Like he

452
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:17.160
<v Speaker 2>just loved to go play in traffic, he loved to

453
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:21.200
<v Speaker 2>eat they like eat you know, people's shoes, and he

454
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:23.039
<v Speaker 2>was super protective of her to where if we had

455
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:24.720
<v Speaker 2>people over and they got near her, he would lose

456
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:26.359
<v Speaker 2>his mind. Like he was kind of a lunatic until

457
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:28.759
<v Speaker 2>he he got a little bit calm towards the end

458
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:31.400
<v Speaker 2>of his life and he had passed away, but he lived,

459
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.960
<v Speaker 2>he lived for I mean, again me speaking, this is

460
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:37.400
<v Speaker 2>me making it quite obvious that I don't really know

461
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:38.559
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot about like I don't have a lot

462
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:41.599
<v Speaker 2>of experience as a pet owner. But for how old

463
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:43.680
<v Speaker 2>he was, I mean, I want to say he was

464
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:46.519
<v Speaker 2>like sixteen years old, which is pretty old for the

465
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:47.480
<v Speaker 2>type of dog that he was.

466
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.519
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so you know they age in seven years.

467
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:52.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so he was he was great but where he

468
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:54.279
<v Speaker 2>where it really turned the corner for me to where

469
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:57.519
<v Speaker 2>like he became somebody that I had no choice but to,

470
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:03.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, except as one of my own is my wife,

471
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:04.680
<v Speaker 2>who again I think she loved the dog more than

472
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:08.559
<v Speaker 2>she loved me. She she was well aware that, like

473
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:11.240
<v Speaker 2>with the way he was, that when we have our daughter,

474
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.000
<v Speaker 2>who's now eight years old, that like my wife's going

475
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:16.880
<v Speaker 2>to be giving her a lot of attention. I mean,

476
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:18.559
<v Speaker 2>she's gonna I mean it's gonna be her new world.

477
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:20.079
<v Speaker 2>She's gonna be nursing and all that kind of stuff,

478
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:21.720
<v Speaker 2>and like he's a lunatic about that kind of stuff.

479
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:24.960
<v Speaker 2>So she was well aware that, like there's a good

480
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:27.279
<v Speaker 2>chance that whenever we bring the baby home and we

481
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:28.960
<v Speaker 2>start our life as parents, that he's going to be

482
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:30.759
<v Speaker 2>in full time outside dog or we're gonna have to

483
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:32.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, get you know, give him to somebody within

484
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>the family that would want and we're going to get

485
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:35.920
<v Speaker 2>rid of him. But you know that was probably gonna

486
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:37.279
<v Speaker 2>have to happen. I didn't even need to say it.

487
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.559
<v Speaker 2>She knew well whenever Maya was born, after family came

488
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:43.680
<v Speaker 2>in to see her, I mean, this makes sense, but

489
00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I'd never thought of it or heard of it, but

490
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:47.559
<v Speaker 2>the blanket that she was born in, or that she

491
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:49.559
<v Speaker 2>was wrapped up in initially as soon as she, you know,

492
00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:55.160
<v Speaker 2>entered earth. Tiffany's mom, she took the blanket home and

493
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:57.599
<v Speaker 2>put it in the cage where Hunter was the dog.

494
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:02.400
<v Speaker 2>And apparently if you do that, that scent they're just

495
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:06.119
<v Speaker 2>supposed to know that, like that's the scent of the

496
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:10.559
<v Speaker 2>baby as well as you know, your mom meaning my wife.

497
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.160
<v Speaker 2>And we came home with the baby, and he was excited,

498
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.359
<v Speaker 2>but not in a way of like threatened by the baby,

499
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.400
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying. And then the next two days,

500
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.960
<v Speaker 2>and you'll know this when you have kids, at one

501
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:24.640
<v Speaker 2>point the next two days, you got everybody coming to

502
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:27.400
<v Speaker 2>see the baby, right, everybody's coming over. And he went

503
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.920
<v Speaker 2>from being like that towards anybody that got near my

504
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:33.720
<v Speaker 2>wife to where anybody that held the baby, he was

505
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:36.039
<v Speaker 2>coming after him, like he became the protector. It was

506
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:37.640
<v Speaker 2>one of them. I mean not to get corny here,

507
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:39.599
<v Speaker 2>but it was one of the most beautiful things I've

508
00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:41.960
<v Speaker 2>ever seen. And you know, at that point, how am

509
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 2>I not going to say, Ah, it's my god, he's

510
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:45.400
<v Speaker 2>my dog, you know, not you know that's my dog

511
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:46.799
<v Speaker 2>literally and figually.

512
00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:48.640
<v Speaker 3>You know, dogs are awesome, dude.

513
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I got another wild story about animals that

514
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:54.279
<v Speaker 2>that I you know, now it's not as surprising, but

515
00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:56.319
<v Speaker 2>at the time I remember thinking like, this is crazy.

516
00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:58.920
<v Speaker 2>This is the smartest cat in the world. Our cat,

517
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:02.880
<v Speaker 2>his name was might have been Tyson. This was a

518
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:05.799
<v Speaker 2>different cat than our first cat. And I think we

519
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:10.559
<v Speaker 2>moved well, said good timing there, right, So we moved

520
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:12.720
<v Speaker 2>out of the house I grew up in. And it's

521
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.440
<v Speaker 2>a long, a long story, and I don't want to

522
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:17.319
<v Speaker 2>get into it. It would make me look as if I

523
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:19.839
<v Speaker 2>grew up in a situation that you might see on

524
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Jerry Spring or something. But the house I grew up

525
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:24.559
<v Speaker 2>in ended up being a house I later lived in,

526
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:26.680
<v Speaker 2>and we moved out of whenever I graduated high school.

527
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:28.440
<v Speaker 2>But there was a time in between where we moved

528
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:34.160
<v Speaker 2>out and moved probably about two miles away, and it

529
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.720
<v Speaker 2>was across like a major like busy road like. It

530
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:39.960
<v Speaker 2>wasn't like we moved two miles away like in some

531
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:44.240
<v Speaker 2>farmland or something. So we rented out the original house

532
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:46.640
<v Speaker 2>that we lived in while we moved to the new house.

533
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.839
<v Speaker 2>So we lost our cat like we thought he ran away,

534
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:52.200
<v Speaker 2>like what are you gonna do? Weeks go by, you know,

535
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:54.359
<v Speaker 2>we just assumed like, man, hope he's okay, but like

536
00:24:54.359 --> 00:24:57.240
<v Speaker 2>he didn't like where we moved and he's gone. So

537
00:24:58.119 --> 00:25:01.440
<v Speaker 2>the people who were renting the house that they finally

538
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:04.720
<v Speaker 2>called my I think it was my mother and said,

539
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:07.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, hey, there's this cat that won't leave, like

540
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:09.319
<v Speaker 2>should we feed it? Like did you have did you

541
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:12.839
<v Speaker 2>all deal with this? And I'm pretty sure there was

542
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:16.759
<v Speaker 2>no light bulb that went off, like it's tyson. I

543
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:18.720
<v Speaker 2>think my mom just assumed like no, we didn't, you know,

544
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:20.079
<v Speaker 2>like I don't. I wouldn't feed it because then it

545
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:21.839
<v Speaker 2>won't leave. And then she was like, well it's a

546
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.880
<v Speaker 2>sweet cat, and the lady who was renting the house

547
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:26.440
<v Speaker 2>started describing it. That cat made its way all the

548
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.960
<v Speaker 2>way back to where we lived, and he crossed interstate

549
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:33.319
<v Speaker 2>like he I mean, like you know it was We

550
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:35.200
<v Speaker 2>thought there's no way we show up, and sure enough

551
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:37.680
<v Speaker 2>it was him, and we brought him back home like

552
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:40.200
<v Speaker 2>he made his way all the way back there, not

553
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:42.119
<v Speaker 2>knowing how to get there, Like think about that, like

554
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:44.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe that's not again when I say when I when

555
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm surprised by certain things when it comes to pets.

556
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:49.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure those that are much have much more experience

557
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:52.039
<v Speaker 2>with pets, Like realize, all right, calm down, coffee. It's

558
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:53.559
<v Speaker 2>not that big of a surprise. But like as a kid,

559
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:55.599
<v Speaker 2>I thought, we got the we get the biggest, most

560
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:56.720
<v Speaker 2>badass cat in the world.

561
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Cats. Cats live by their own rules. They don't

562
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:04.200
<v Speaker 3>let's your rules. They're just very low maintenance. I've always

563
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:06.119
<v Speaker 3>liked cats, have been around them. We have two of

564
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:09.440
<v Speaker 3>them that they're they're the girlfriends. Actually we had one

565
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:13.680
<v Speaker 3>and then or after one passed away about about this

566
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:17.319
<v Speaker 3>time a year ago. Uh, Sidney was very very devastated

567
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:19.079
<v Speaker 3>with that. That's one that she kind of grew up with.

568
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:21.079
<v Speaker 3>And then we went and got a dog kind of

569
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:22.960
<v Speaker 3>as you know, just kind of get your mind off

570
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:25.519
<v Speaker 3>of things. And she was never really a dog person anyways,

571
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:27.920
<v Speaker 3>but she's you know, we've obviously fed the cat's name.

572
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:31.680
<v Speaker 3>The cat's name was Sage, and then once Sage passed

573
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:35.240
<v Speaker 3>away related about three months and then we live right

574
00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:37.279
<v Speaker 3>next to a feeder supply, and then she went there

575
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:39.359
<v Speaker 3>to go and that's why I'm never letting her go

576
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:41.680
<v Speaker 3>to the feeder supply ever again alone. She went there

577
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:43.480
<v Speaker 3>to go get dog food and came back and said,

578
00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:44.359
<v Speaker 3>I adopted a cat.

579
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:45.960
<v Speaker 2>I bet that happens a lot man.

580
00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:50.599
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and her name. Her name is Maxine. She's a sweetheart.

581
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:53.200
<v Speaker 2>A cat name Maxine or a dog cat.

582
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:56.279
<v Speaker 3>A dog's name is Nira, and she's a lunatic, but

583
00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:57.000
<v Speaker 3>she's still good.

584
00:26:57.079 --> 00:26:58.799
<v Speaker 2>The reason I asked about that is because I don't

585
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:01.039
<v Speaker 2>know why. You know, the bar for me, as far

586
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:04.559
<v Speaker 2>as humor is pretty low and pretty childish. Cats with

587
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:09.480
<v Speaker 2>human names always hits with me like that place, well,

588
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:11.559
<v Speaker 2>not as much, I think, not as much as dogs

589
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:13.920
<v Speaker 2>really like For some reason, a cat with a human name, like,

590
00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:15.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why. Just to me, it's funnier. Like

591
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:17.319
<v Speaker 2>I had a had a buddy I used to work

592
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:20.400
<v Speaker 2>with Daniel many years ago before this was my my

593
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:22.960
<v Speaker 2>my gig. He had a cat named Walter, and I

594
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:25.160
<v Speaker 2>thought that was so bad as this before Walter white

595
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:26.599
<v Speaker 2>became the first thing you think of when you think

596
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:28.759
<v Speaker 2>of Walter. But like I just thought, like, you know

597
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:31.799
<v Speaker 2>a cat named Walter? That that works, man, that's great

598
00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:33.680
<v Speaker 2>cat name. Yeah, So shot.

599
00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:37.319
<v Speaker 3>Shout out to Walter, my buddy, shout out the Cody

600
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:39.599
<v Speaker 3>if he's listening right now. But he's got a dog

601
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:41.720
<v Speaker 3>and his name is Gavin, and I think that's a

602
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:42.519
<v Speaker 3>great dog name.

603
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's not bad. Like we should actually just like

604
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:49.519
<v Speaker 2>no more spikes, no more buddies, no more uh spot

605
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:52.160
<v Speaker 2>or something. Let's I mean, let's you know, if you,

606
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:54.640
<v Speaker 2>if you, people are gonna claim that these are like

607
00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:57.559
<v Speaker 2>your real children. And I don't mean to mock people

608
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:00.759
<v Speaker 2>to do that, but like they're you know, there are

609
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:02.640
<v Speaker 2>some people who literally will argue with you that it's

610
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:04.720
<v Speaker 2>the same thing. And I'm not having that conversation because

611
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:06.440
<v Speaker 2>clearly it's not. But like, I get how much you

612
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:10.160
<v Speaker 2>love your pet, but let's just give him real human names, right,

613
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:13.279
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, what about Like what if you come to

614
00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:14.920
<v Speaker 2>my house and I got a new dog and he's

615
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:17.920
<v Speaker 2>jumping on you case he's excited. I'm like, Dennis, calm down, bro,

616
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:20.599
<v Speaker 2>Like let my man settle in, Like yeah, that's Troy.

617
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:24.119
<v Speaker 2>I think that would be funny. All right, real quick,

618
00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:25.240
<v Speaker 2>we got to get to a break in a moment.

619
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:26.480
<v Speaker 2>But I do want to let you guys hear the

620
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:29.079
<v Speaker 2>sound I referenced earlier. So Mike Tyson, Jake, Paul Tonight,

621
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:32.279
<v Speaker 2>and I want to believe that this is totally real,

622
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:35.759
<v Speaker 2>and maybe I will once it starts. But this clip

623
00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:38.279
<v Speaker 2>of Mike Tyson responding to something that Jake Paul said,

624
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I think the sound will will do enough. But I

625
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:44.759
<v Speaker 2>think if you actually see the visual with the sound, like,

626
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I kind of feel like Mike Tyson might end his

627
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:49.400
<v Speaker 2>life tonight. Now, I would say that the chances of

628
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:51.880
<v Speaker 2>that happening one. I mean, I'm being sarcastic, but a

629
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:53.319
<v Speaker 2>lot of people think of it's ugly that it's going

630
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:55.160
<v Speaker 2>to be the other way around, because Mike Tyson's sixty

631
00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:57.880
<v Speaker 2>years old. But pull that up if.

632
00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:00.880
<v Speaker 3>You can't, Austin, this is I got you ready for scary? Yeah,

633
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:36.960
<v Speaker 3>here we go. I mean that's the difference.

634
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I believed him too, right, Like, yeah, Like, you know,

635
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:44.960
<v Speaker 2>if you didn't know anything about who that was, and

636
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.759
<v Speaker 2>you want you didn't, you didn't. You know, if you

637
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:51.839
<v Speaker 2>just heard only the Tyson end of it, and you

638
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:56.240
<v Speaker 2>thought you were watching a crime documentary about a mass murderer,

639
00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:59.039
<v Speaker 2>you'd believe it. Ye did, And I don't mean, you know,

640
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:01.400
<v Speaker 2>even with even without the appearance, because Mike Tyson clearly

641
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:03.000
<v Speaker 2>looks like a bad dude, he's a bad dude's a

642
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:06.039
<v Speaker 2>scary man. But like that was somebody talking about being

643
00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:09.440
<v Speaker 2>a natural born killer. They weren't. They weren't into the bit.

644
00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:12.079
<v Speaker 2>They weren't, you know, trying to get over with the crowd.

645
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Like that's just that's just I think his mindset. So

646
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting excited. Should be uh, should be good stuff.

647
00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:17.960
<v Speaker 3>Fight night is here.

648
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:20.799
<v Speaker 2>Hell yeah, what a weekend we got? Said no, we

649
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.359
<v Speaker 2>got a great night of both. You know, we got

650
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:24.799
<v Speaker 2>a great boxing match, which I hope is great, and

651
00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:27.359
<v Speaker 2>then of course college football, college basketball. We've got a

652
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:30.079
<v Speaker 2>loaded day of both tomorrow as well. Austin's hosting the

653
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.200
<v Speaker 2>postgame show. Hell yeah, we're rolling here, so we'll get

654
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:35.319
<v Speaker 2>out of here for quick break. We'll come back, wrap

655
00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:36.599
<v Speaker 2>this up and get out here for the weekend. Keep

656
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:46.680
<v Speaker 2>it locked right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

657
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:50.559
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Coffee and Company with Nick Coffee on

658
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven ninety.

659
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.119
<v Speaker 2>We were wrapping it up here on a Friday afternoon.

660
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for hanging out with us, Nick Coffee, Austin Montgomery,

661
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:07.839
<v Speaker 2>as we get you out of here for the weekend.

662
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:09.759
<v Speaker 2>But this is a really good write up here that

663
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:15.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to reference where I read it from, because

664
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, I want to give credit, but I know

665
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:19.680
<v Speaker 2>just mentioning this outlet is going to make people think

666
00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:23.640
<v Speaker 2>you're a nasty lib coffee. But otkick dot com it's

667
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:26.000
<v Speaker 2>not a Clay Travis thing. It's actually Bobby bou Rak,

668
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:27.759
<v Speaker 2>who's not far from Clay Travis. But he did write

669
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:29.599
<v Speaker 2>an article at OutKick that I thought was very interesting

670
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:35.440
<v Speaker 2>that has nothing to do with politics. But how the WWE,

671
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:39.720
<v Speaker 2>How wrestling does on Netflix when they move their weekly

672
00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:43.079
<v Speaker 2>television show that has watched more than just about anything

673
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:46.720
<v Speaker 2>on a weekly basis, When that happens, there's going to

674
00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:49.480
<v Speaker 2>be a case study to see if that's where everything shifts.

675
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Like I mean, I think in all seriousness, Netflix, if

676
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:00.680
<v Speaker 2>they wanted to, could challenge ESPN. Sure if they wanted to.

677
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:03.599
<v Speaker 2>Now do they want to? I'm not sure what's really

678
00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:06.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna be crazy for. And the reason I'm talking about

679
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.279
<v Speaker 2>this is because Tonight's Jake Paul Mike Tyson fights on

680
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Netflix and it's clearly gonna be watched by millions of people,

681
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:14.440
<v Speaker 2>and it's gonna be a live event, which is a

682
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:19.640
<v Speaker 2>rare thing for Netflix. But Disney, if Disney wants to

683
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:23.599
<v Speaker 2>disassociate itself from ESPN, which they should do for the

684
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:26.839
<v Speaker 2>sake of ESPN is what I hope happens. But that'll

685
00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:28.799
<v Speaker 2>be where it really comes. And that's when you really

686
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:31.480
<v Speaker 2>get a chance to see because a lot of Disney,

687
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, a lot of ESPN's programming decisions and just

688
00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:38.559
<v Speaker 2>their tone and it, let's be real, we all mean,

689
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:39.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't I'm not gonna say. You all know what

690
00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:41.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about when I say the way ESPN clearly

691
00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:45.000
<v Speaker 2>just is very consistent with with with everything as far

692
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:47.640
<v Speaker 2>as which I'm not even gonna say side or because

693
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:49.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, but you know what I mean. I'll leave

694
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.200
<v Speaker 2>it at that. If somebody else obtains them and they

695
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:55.519
<v Speaker 2>have complete freedom, I think it'd be great for that company,

696
00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:58.240
<v Speaker 2>meaning ESPN. But like somebody's gonna have to buy them

697
00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:00.640
<v Speaker 2>because Disney. Disney's why they are the way they are,

698
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:04.640
<v Speaker 2>and anybody who works there would tell you that. But anyways,

699
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:07.079
<v Speaker 2>tonight on Netflix, if it's a big hit, I mean,

700
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:08.279
<v Speaker 2>this is good. They're gonna try to do more of

701
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:10.559
<v Speaker 2>this if they can. And you know, I actually think

702
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:14.240
<v Speaker 2>there's people who would actually prefer Okay, like I'm finding,

703
00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:19.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, Network Plus SEC Network plus, ACC Network plus

704
00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Peacock or ESPN Plus or the streaming Like when you

705
00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:29.559
<v Speaker 2>have your obscure games that are on these random networks

706
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:32.039
<v Speaker 2>that you never go looking for, I guarantee you people

707
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:34.799
<v Speaker 2>would be more willing and more more. They'd be more

708
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:38.119
<v Speaker 2>able and accepting to finding it on Netflix, because Netflix

709
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:40.079
<v Speaker 2>at twenty twenty four it's not where you go to

710
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:42.319
<v Speaker 2>for live sports because it never has been. But you

711
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:45.880
<v Speaker 2>probably have the ability in the instincts to know exactly

712
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:48.000
<v Speaker 2>how to find that more so than you do poping

713
00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:51.240
<v Speaker 2>open the ESPN Plus app and then signing in with

714
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:54.759
<v Speaker 2>your TV provider every five seconds. Seemingly like Disney doesn't

715
00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:57.880
<v Speaker 2>care enough about sports to make ESPN what it should be.

716
00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:00.720
<v Speaker 2>That's that's what I believe. So and in a weird

717
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:02.759
<v Speaker 2>way like tonight, I think if it goes well and

718
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Netflix feels like, yeah, this is working, they may try

719
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:08.000
<v Speaker 2>to get in the game, and that would be a

720
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:11.360
<v Speaker 2>bad thing for for ESPN, unless, of course Disney wanted to.

721
00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:16.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, heck, maybe Netflix buys ESPN from Disney. I mean,

722
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:17.920
<v Speaker 2>the big brain's working up here. I'm just throwing stuff

723
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:19.719
<v Speaker 2>out there, but that wouldn't be the craziest thing right.

724
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:24.719
<v Speaker 3>Well, Netflix, ESPN just just getting devoured now.

725
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:27.519
<v Speaker 2>Netflix like just you know, like just take them down.

726
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:29.719
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait for wrestling to be in the Netflix.

727
00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:32.519
<v Speaker 2>And I know Disney's you know, clearly a very popular

728
00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:33.800
<v Speaker 2>thing and the kids love it and all that. I'm

729
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:36.719
<v Speaker 2>like anti Disney, but Disney didn't. I mean, Disney buying

730
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:39.360
<v Speaker 2>ESPN and having complete control over a lot of things

731
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:42.599
<v Speaker 2>didn't go well for ESPN in my opinion. And I'm

732
00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:45.719
<v Speaker 2>sure there's people who have come and went at ESPN

733
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:47.400
<v Speaker 2>that probably weren't able to really be who they wanted

734
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:49.760
<v Speaker 2>to be on the air. Not because there's some raging lunatic,

735
00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:52.239
<v Speaker 2>but like you know, you just have to not say

736
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:54.320
<v Speaker 2>stuff about things that, like, you know, people with a

737
00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:57.199
<v Speaker 2>brain are willing to acknowledge. All Right, we're out of time. Everybody,

738
00:34:57.239 --> 00:34:59.159
<v Speaker 2>have themselves a good week, and again I'm out tomorrow

739
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:01.360
<v Speaker 2>for the postgame show. But Austin's got you, so you'll

740
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:04.199
<v Speaker 2>be in good hands. Hang out with us. I believe whenever,

741
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:06.039
<v Speaker 2>whenever we get back here on the air, at least

742
00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:07.679
<v Speaker 2>I do on Monday, we'll be talking about a big

743
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:09.920
<v Speaker 2>time win for the Cards. So have a good week

744
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:30.480
<v Speaker 2>and everybody take care time before the Waterson nether one

745
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:33.920
<v Speaker 2>seventy one northbound past the Waterson Out near Lime Kilm
