Speaker 1: It's time for coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2: Holy crap, I don't know who the hell we think
Speaker 2: when we are.
Speaker 1: General off our show, idiot.
Speaker 2: The kids are playing or tilt. The countries are screwing
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 1: Gold Play Intermurals, Brother, gold Play Intermurals.
Speaker 2: They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not.
Speaker 1: Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you
Speaker 1: kidding me?
Speaker 2: Now? Here's Nick Coffee. All right, ladies and gentlemen, you
Speaker 2: made it. It's Friday, at the end of the week.
Speaker 2: As we get you set for the weekend. Here coffee
Speaker 2: and Company, fueled by Thornton's on a Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2: That's me Nick Coffee the voice you hear, meaning that's
Speaker 2: me the company man, mister John all on alongside today
Speaker 2: and we're gonna have some fun. We're gonna mix it up. Fridays.
Speaker 2: It's the day where I just I don't know why, baby,
Speaker 2: because we're close to the weekend, and you know, I
Speaker 2: think most people in their line of where I guess
Speaker 2: it depends on what you do. But when you're in
Speaker 2: an office setting like you work in the Cubicle Life.
Speaker 2: Friday afternoon, three o'clock. I mean you kind of feel
Speaker 2: like you're you're near the finish line, because you are,
Speaker 2: you know, if you work a regular nine to five
Speaker 2: Monday through Friday. So like Friday's for me on this show,
Speaker 2: it's kind of like the same thing. Like I try
Speaker 2: to check the pulse of the millions of you that
Speaker 2: listen every day, and we appreciate all of you, and
Speaker 2: I'm hoping you can sense sarcasm there, but nonetheless I
Speaker 2: feel you, right, we're in the same position, right, we're
Speaker 2: are you know? So I just don't take this stuff
Speaker 2: as serious as I typically do, not that I really
Speaker 2: take it that serious anyway. I mean, it is a job.
Speaker 2: It's a dream to be able to do this every day.
Speaker 2: But on Friday, I just there's no uh, there's no
Speaker 2: guardrails John as far as like where we go. And
Speaker 2: I really like that about Friday.
Speaker 1: I love when the guardrails are gone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So like Monday through Money through Thursday, I mean,
Speaker 2: there at times aren't guard brills and we just end
Speaker 2: up in places we never thought we would. But at
Speaker 2: times Monday through Thursday, when that happens, I feel like, well,
Speaker 2: let's let's regroup here, Let's get this thing back on track.
Speaker 2: Because we are a very sophisticated and professional sports talk
Speaker 2: radio program that talks about nothing but the hard hitting
Speaker 2: stories in sports. We provide analysis, stats, facts, and that's
Speaker 2: just that's it. I mean, kind of that's what we're
Speaker 2: supposed to do, I think, but it's not really what
Speaker 2: we do. But on Friday, like it doesn't even register that,
Speaker 2: like that's what we're supposed to be, right, Like, I'm
Speaker 2: just like, who cares, it's Friday. We're almost to the
Speaker 2: end of the week. I mean, we actually are at
Speaker 2: the end of the week and it's almost over, and
Speaker 2: that's a good thing. And another week that goes by,
Speaker 2: another day that goes by, that means we're getting closer
Speaker 2: and closer to college football and that makes me very happy. However, today,
Speaker 2: this story, it'd be a lie to say this is
Speaker 2: like a huge story within the world of college basketball
Speaker 2: because most people probably don't care or don't even know.
Speaker 2: But Louisville is fresh off of a trip to the
Speaker 2: Bahamas where they went spent about five days in the Bahamas,
Speaker 2: played two games. I'm not sure how many fans made
Speaker 2: the trip, but obviously the program, a lot of staffers
Speaker 2: from the athletic department, a lot of donors, boosters. I'm
Speaker 2: sure we're along for the trip, and those things happen
Speaker 2: all the time. I mean, it's beneficial to do those
Speaker 2: as much as you can because it gives you extra
Speaker 2: practice in the summer and you guys know the drill, right.
Speaker 2: It's it was super important for Pat Kelsey and his
Speaker 2: group to do that because it's a brand new team
Speaker 2: with an entirely brand new roster. But there's a story
Speaker 2: out there about George Mason, a not not a I mean,
Speaker 2: George Mason is probably a person you may know, somebody
Speaker 2: named George Mason. I feel like there was somebody in
Speaker 2: my life at some point I knew named George Mason.
Speaker 2: But George Mason is also a university and they they
Speaker 2: if you, if you understand the reference here, then then
Speaker 2: you know, then you'll get it. If not, I'll explain
Speaker 2: they got they got fire festivaled out of a Bahamas trip.
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll get into the specific Trulli Donovan is
Speaker 2: doing a good job of leaking out some details that
Speaker 2: he is finding out sort of in real time here.
Speaker 2: But they had a Bahamas foreign tour trip scheduled this week,
Speaker 2: and they showed up to the airport and the organizer,
Speaker 2: the company that you know puts these things together, didn't
Speaker 2: book flights, didn't book hotels, and it was not real.
Speaker 2: And there are boosters and donors of George Mason and
Speaker 2: other university staffers that weren't going to travel with the
Speaker 2: team that made other travel arrangements. Of course, I assume
Speaker 2: on company dime, they're already there in the Bahamas thinking
Speaker 2: they're there to watch their basketball team have a couple
Speaker 2: of exhibition games, and it's not real. And I have
Speaker 2: so many questions as far as how like how did
Speaker 2: you get to the point where you show up to
Speaker 2: the airport ready for this trip? Like I'm just I'm
Speaker 2: envisioning all of the behind the scenes stuff that goes on, right,
Speaker 2: Like you've got your content team, they've got the camera out,
Speaker 2: they're filming guys getting off the bus at the airport,
Speaker 2: walking up to you know, check in, just all the
Speaker 2: stuff that you do for marketing, and they then they
Speaker 2: realize like none of is real. Like the guy who
Speaker 2: owns this company that put this together like that does
Speaker 2: events kind of like the Billy guy who did fire festival,
Speaker 2: if you know what that is. He's taken full responsibility,
Speaker 2: but he's also kind of like not by blaming it
Speaker 2: on other people. However, there's got to be more to
Speaker 2: this story, Like there has to be more because I
Speaker 2: don't know how you like, how do you not have
Speaker 2: flight itinerary? How do you not have like full details.
Speaker 2: I mean, there are people who have full time jobs
Speaker 2: at these universities, probably making a lot of money that
Speaker 2: that's their job to make sure logistics are worked out,
Speaker 2: and they show up at the airport today to leave
Speaker 2: and like find out that like, no, we have no wreck,
Speaker 2: there's no flight for you guys, like this is this
Speaker 2: is this is nonsense. So anyways, I'm gonna be following
Speaker 2: along throughout the rest of the afternoon or maybe we
Speaker 2: get more details down. I'm not gonna make it be
Speaker 2: a huge part of the show, but as as the
Speaker 2: show started today, there's more and more not behind the
Speaker 2: scenes details coming out, but like it's starting to get
Speaker 2: more coverage to be a national story because it's just
Speaker 2: not something you see very often. So that is that
Speaker 2: actually distracted me as we get the show started, because
Speaker 2: I'm I mean that just fascinates me how something like
Speaker 2: that could happen. So anyways, some other things we'll get
Speaker 2: into today. We've got to discuss once again another sign
Speaker 2: that nobody respects the NC DOUBLEA. I mean, I think
Speaker 2: it's been quite clear for a while that the days
Speaker 2: of just being worried about the NC DOUBLEA dropping the
Speaker 2: hammer on you, potentially ruining your career if you're a coach,
Speaker 2: by giving you a show cause or suspending you, you know,
Speaker 2: putting the fear in you. Nobody's fearful of the NC
Speaker 2: DOUBLEA anymore because Michigan has announced that they are going
Speaker 2: I mean, while keep in mind they they're head coach
Speaker 2: for head coach just got hammered by the NC DOUBLEA,
Speaker 2: but not really right because he doesn't care and they're
Speaker 2: still being investigated. They are any moment now awaiting the
Speaker 2: notice of allegations in regards to the Connor Stallions cheating scandal.
Speaker 2: And yet they announced today that Jim Harbaugh is going
Speaker 2: to be their honorary captain for their opener, Like they're
Speaker 2: going to parade him around, bring him out. Like, if
Speaker 2: that's not double birds to the NC DOUBLEA, I don't
Speaker 2: know what is. While they're being investigated for cheating while
Speaker 2: they just won a national championship. Now it is kind
Speaker 2: of weird because again the n is double A. I
Speaker 2: say all the time, they're consistent, meaning like they're consistently
Speaker 2: a mess and consistently delusional, not realizing that they're useless
Speaker 2: and that you know, nobody actually respects them. But part
Speaker 2: of their consistency in regards to just being ridiculous is that,
Speaker 2: like they they're not consistent, if that makes any sense.
Speaker 2: I know that sounds really confusing, But what I mean
Speaker 2: is that they've already decided that regardless of what comes
Speaker 2: of this Connor Stallions investigation and the notice of allegations,
Speaker 2: any type of vacating a championship is off the table,
Speaker 2: which is just stupid, Like why would it? I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, what are you doing here? Are you actually
Speaker 2: going to be someone that is going to rule the
Speaker 2: organization that you operate and hold people accountable or are
Speaker 2: you just out here being useless? So maybe if they
Speaker 2: knew they could potentially have their national championship vacated, one,
Speaker 2: they probably wouldn't care, but also maybe they wouldn't be
Speaker 2: as brazen here with the Jim Harball stuff. But did
Speaker 2: again with college football, n STUABAA doesn't rule college football.
Speaker 2: The college Football Playoff that Michigan just won last year,
Speaker 2: that's an event. I mean, you could, I mean, and
Speaker 2: I think you can claim you are national champions and
Speaker 2: you justly are the national champion national champions if you
Speaker 2: do win the fourteam playoff and have the season that
Speaker 2: Michigan had last year. But the NAA doesn't name you
Speaker 2: the national champion. It's an ESPN event, not even like
Speaker 2: I think people know that, but I'm not sure people
Speaker 2: keep that in mind, like that the n DOUAA did
Speaker 2: not crown them the national champion by an event that
Speaker 2: they put together. It's literally an ESPN like it's a bowlgame.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's literally made for TV event where the
Speaker 2: college Football Playoff decides who gets to play, and then
Speaker 2: they have a four team playoff and whoever wins we
Speaker 2: claim as the national champion. And again I'm not discrediting
Speaker 2: it as if it doesn't count, but it's not. I mean,
Speaker 2: maybe the INSTUABA doesn't even have the ability to vacate that.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm though it's sure what the n STAA
Speaker 2: has to do, but I'm telling you, I know it's
Speaker 2: been a big topic this week, and it's really not
Speaker 2: that interesting. It's not like something that's entertaining. It's not fun.
Speaker 2: But you know, we cover college sports around here more
Speaker 2: than we cover anything for obvious reasons, given that we
Speaker 2: are a huge college market, and I just, you know,
Speaker 2: I every day that passes, I start to think, like,
Speaker 2: maybe eventually this thing's just gonna completely separate itself, because
Speaker 2: I don't think the NAA just completely disappears, but there's
Speaker 2: going to be that separation from the rest of the
Speaker 2: NCAA members meeting schools they're gonna and there's way more
Speaker 2: of the of those that don't make a ton of money,
Speaker 2: that aren't in a lucrative business. But there's also this
Speaker 2: other section that is power for football, Notre Dame included,
Speaker 2: and I guess you could throw in basketball as well
Speaker 2: to where it is within the last few years absolutely
Speaker 2: become professional sports. And it's right here in front of
Speaker 2: our face. There's no handshake deals for money. It's quite
Speaker 2: clear these guys are being paid a lot. Money is
Speaker 2: needed to be raised. So like at some point somebody
Speaker 2: within college athletics, I think, is gonna have to take
Speaker 2: leadership or maybe not leadership, because maybe you're not the leader,
Speaker 2: but somebody's just gonna have to be the first to
Speaker 2: step up and say, what are we doing here? We
Speaker 2: don't need them, We do not need the NCAA for anything.
Speaker 2: And if there's one guess as far as who that
Speaker 2: person may be, it's got to be Stanky, right, mister
Speaker 2: Stanky Grex Sank, the SEC Commissioner, Like he's the one
Speaker 2: that I feel like would have the stones the kahonas
Speaker 2: to just be like, all right, we've been thinking about it,
Speaker 2: and we don't we're gonna. We're gonna just we're not.
Speaker 2: We don't need the incident. The SEC is no longer
Speaker 2: in any affiliation with the NCAA.
Speaker 1: Do the Sankey leg.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like something he'll do. I mean he
Speaker 2: would he not be the one guy that would do it.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And you you keep mentioning if like the Power
Speaker 1: Conference has decided to break off, it would be very annoying,
Speaker 1: But it almost feels like it would be a given
Speaker 1: that he would be the initial leader of the new
Speaker 1: whatever title he gives himself if they were to break
Speaker 1: away from the Power for And I wouldn't I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be in favor in that I feel like a lot
Speaker 1: of people outside of.
Speaker 2: The SEC wouldn't be in fair, it wouldn't happen.
Speaker 1: But it feels like he would at least vouch for
Speaker 1: himself to be the leader of that.
Speaker 2: Well, and I can actually respect someone that would be
Speaker 2: willing to maybe not say, hey, I'm in charge, I'm
Speaker 2: the one doing it, but at least have the initiative
Speaker 2: to I guess, make the first move. But you can't
Speaker 2: have because the conference is still going to exist. That's
Speaker 2: how all the money's there, right, like the Big Ten
Speaker 2: and the like. It wouldn't be a scenario to where
Speaker 2: you just have one big league, no, because that's not
Speaker 2: how the money. I mean it's and you've got different
Speaker 2: TV deals and all that, with the Big Ten no
Speaker 2: longer being in bed with ESPN or ABC. So what
Speaker 2: you'd end up having to do is find and again
Speaker 2: just thinking about it here, just picturing like a meeting
Speaker 2: going on where they're discussing who's going to be the
Speaker 2: overall leader of the power for Notre Dame included. I mean,
Speaker 2: it would be the ultimate shaft measuring contest where nobody
Speaker 2: would agree anybody that because you would have to find
Speaker 2: somebody that you believe is objective and it would not
Speaker 2: have any biases towards any particular team or league. And
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's somebody out there that exists that could
Speaker 2: do that, but like it would be I mean, think
Speaker 2: about how difficult it was when they started fighting about
Speaker 2: the college football playoff expansion, like just it was egos
Speaker 2: getting in the way. So I mean, if you're n
Speaker 2: SUAA and Michigan does that and you have no like
Speaker 2: real like the Michigan being the national champion of the
Speaker 2: previous college football season and knowing that they just gave
Speaker 2: their coach who left meaning the Nce double A, a
Speaker 2: four year show cause and a one year suspension, and
Speaker 2: you're still investigating Michigan for cheating during their national championship season.
Speaker 2: If in fact, Harball comes back. They're creatively taking shots
Speaker 2: and making fun of the nc DOUBLEA right in front
Speaker 2: of everybody's face. And then this Connor Stallion's investigation concludes
Speaker 2: and there's really no stiff punishment. How can the NCUBLEA
Speaker 2: as an organization, How can Charlie Baker, I think that's
Speaker 2: his name, How can he look himself in the mirror?
Speaker 2: Is if he's got any sack I mean, because you're
Speaker 2: just getting completely I mean dunked on and bullied, shoved
Speaker 2: in a locker, swirlies, wedgies. What are some other things
Speaker 2: that you do as a bully. I'm missing any.
Speaker 1: Shove people and grab them by the collar and shove
Speaker 1: them up against the locker or something you.
Speaker 2: Show him in the locker in the locker. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean that's what I said. It's that's part of it.
Speaker 2: So you know, like I just I'm fascinated by it,
Speaker 2: and I'm not like, you know, I don't naa Obviously,
Speaker 2: I don't feel that their punishment for Louisville was it
Speaker 2: ever made any sense. And that's not to minimize what
Speaker 2: happened and act like it was. You know, Louisville's victims
Speaker 2: in this, It was just stupid how they I mean,
Speaker 2: their own insane way of determining impermissible benefits is to
Speaker 2: put a monetary value on it. Okay, well, you know
Speaker 2: you had this flight that was four hundred dollars, you
Speaker 2: know you sit for a half, Well, with Louisville, the
Speaker 2: nature of what went on, you can't put a monetary
Speaker 2: value on it. And in fact, I feel like you
Speaker 2: nobody would pay for what would Katina Palells bringing into
Speaker 2: Minority Hall for being honest with you and and you know,
Speaker 2: with all that said, like you can't put monetary value
Speaker 2: on it. So they just decided that everybody who played
Speaker 2: in those in that era, all of their games, all
Speaker 2: their records and stuff just didn't happen, which is stupid.
Speaker 2: But anyways, I'm sure that's probably not an interesting thing
Speaker 2: to a lot of people because the NAA is boring
Speaker 2: as it is, but their death may be something that
Speaker 2: interests a lot of people. Now. I guess there is
Speaker 2: also the worry though, like what it would mean for
Speaker 2: everybody else, like because without them, you got to think,
Speaker 2: I mean, things would be different. But let's be honest,
Speaker 2: things have been so different in the last few years,
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be even more different once in fact,
Speaker 2: the schools have to start paying the players. Like it's
Speaker 2: always kind of looked like professional sports with the big
Speaker 2: time television deals and clearly, you know, millions of people
Speaker 2: watching that kind of stuff, but now it's going to
Speaker 2: be in your face more than it's ever been. And
Speaker 2: it just to me, how can you have your governing
Speaker 2: organization at the top the n DOAA. This thing's moving fast, right,
Speaker 2: big money already there with nil portal, you can basically
Speaker 2: have free agency. Schools are going to be tasked to
Speaker 2: pay up to twenty two million dollars a year. Like
Speaker 2: that is what this is now, it is there's no
Speaker 2: way around it, and it's and it's gonna be even
Speaker 2: more in your face as the years go on. And
Speaker 2: how can you have the governing body that is over
Speaker 2: top of you? How can you have it to where
Speaker 2: you know that they hate it, they're against it, they
Speaker 2: try to fight it, they do everything they can to
Speaker 2: stop all of it from happening. They live in an
Speaker 2: archaic world where these guys really are just they're all
Speaker 2: students who you know, are only like they're actually there
Speaker 2: to just get an education. And oh wow, I picked
Speaker 2: up a basketball, I'm pretty good at that. I might
Speaker 2: I might try out for the team, I might get
Speaker 2: a scholarship. Like that's the world they live in. It's
Speaker 2: like they're so they're so opposite and they don't adjust
Speaker 2: to what the new world of college athletics is. Like,
Speaker 2: how can anybody within the world of college athletics at
Speaker 2: the top wake up and act like this is normal?
Speaker 2: The organization that governs you hates everything that is happening
Speaker 2: and still tries to fight against it and get shut
Speaker 2: down by federal judges. Right, Hey, you can't. Hey, you
Speaker 2: can't do that. You can like again, earlier this week
Speaker 2: they gave us the new NCAA Division I Manual for
Speaker 2: the upcoming year twenty twenty four to twenty five, and
Speaker 2: you know, they laid out their nil bylaw stating that
Speaker 2: you cannot use an IL to like induce, whereas the
Speaker 2: federal judge has already come out and said beforehand, you're
Speaker 2: not allowed to tell them they can't do that, Like,
Speaker 2: it's just crazy to me. Also, I don't have any
Speaker 2: strong thoughts on Team USA. I mean, obviously they were
Speaker 2: in a nail bier yesterday. They were getting killed and
Speaker 2: then had a great comeback, and I'll think, I, you know,
Speaker 2: not to dramatize it like it was some magical moment
Speaker 2: that I'll have forever, but I do think I'll remember
Speaker 2: that for a long time, just because it's something I
Speaker 2: never have witnessed before, and it's probably something I may
Speaker 2: never witness again. Where you see Team USA and men's basketball,
Speaker 2: something we dominate, getting handled down nearly twenty points, looking
Speaker 2: as if it's going to be over and then they
Speaker 2: rally from behind, you would think everybody's on the edge
Speaker 2: of their seat rooting for America despite your hate for
Speaker 2: Lebron James or Kevin Durant or Steve Kerr anything like that.
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid. So you know, I actually thought that was
Speaker 2: really cool yesterday, Like I think I'm gonna remember that
Speaker 2: for a long time because it was an unexpected situation
Speaker 2: to where you could sit back and like, are we
Speaker 2: gonna get this? Like, you know, it's just because it's
Speaker 2: great to be dominant, but it's also kind of boring
Speaker 2: to be dominant, right because we know, we don't even
Speaker 2: need to go to the Olympics to know that the
Speaker 2: American the Americans have the best basketball in the country,
Speaker 2: in the country, in the world, Like it's just a
Speaker 2: known thing. So to see them against you know, up
Speaker 2: against it and rally to come back, and legendary players
Speaker 2: making big time plays like you would expect. Kevin Durant
Speaker 2: was clutch, Steph Curry was sensational. Lebron James is sixty
Speaker 2: years old with a gray beard out there doing things
Speaker 2: that like nobody that's even half his age typically does,
Speaker 2: Like it was amazing, but there is something odd about
Speaker 2: Steve Kerr and his lineups. I'm not a huge fan
Speaker 2: of Jason Tatum. I certainly don't like the Boston Celtics,
Speaker 2: but I do think the criticism of Steve Kerr is legit,
Speaker 2: and I do think that they've set Jason Tatum up
Speaker 2: to be embarrassed. He showed up to represent his country.
Speaker 2: He's fresh off in nash An NBA title, three time
Speaker 2: first team All NBA selection. Nobody would tell you Jason
Speaker 2: Tatum is not super talented and he can't get in
Speaker 2: the game like that just doesn't make sense. And Steve
Speaker 2: Kurz made it out to where it's just about lineups, rotations, combinations,
Speaker 2: and I do think there's something to be said about that. Right.
Speaker 2: That's why whenever they got rid of Kawhi Leonard, they
Speaker 2: went out and got Derek White. Derek White is your
Speaker 2: absolute definition of the modern day role player. He'll do
Speaker 2: whatever you need. He's good, he's effective, he'll make big
Speaker 2: plays that help you win games. But he knows I'm
Speaker 2: behind Jalen Brown and I'm behind Jason Tatum. I'm never
Speaker 2: gonna be one, two, maybe even three. At times when
Speaker 2: it comes to like priority within that or within that,
Speaker 2: within that system. So there's something to be said about,
Speaker 2: like you can't just put five superstars on the floor
Speaker 2: and think it's going to work. Right. Talent is going
Speaker 2: to be on your side, but as far as how
Speaker 2: you know, like as far as a system running things,
Speaker 2: like you gotta have balance. But Jason Tatum, I mean,
Speaker 2: it's embarrassing to him, and I can't lie to you
Speaker 2: and said that. I genuinely like feel sorry for him
Speaker 2: because look at him. I mean, this guy just got
Speaker 2: an insane deal. I mean he just is fresh off
Speaker 2: the the NBA Finals where he helped Boston win another
Speaker 2: ring like he I don't feel bad for him, but
Speaker 2: had he known that, like he wasn't going to be
Speaker 2: worthy of getting a minute from from Steve Kerr, he
Speaker 2: might not. He might not have gone. And look, I
Speaker 2: know there's some people thinking like, well, doesn't matter. You're
Speaker 2: representing your country. You do whatever, like like we're at war,
Speaker 2: you do whatever the leader asks of you. But like
Speaker 2: he's wasting his time like he's he's and it's it's
Speaker 2: embarrassing to him. I can't speak to the fact that
Speaker 2: he's embarrassed because you know, he probably would never say that,
Speaker 2: and I don't you know, I can't read his brain.
Speaker 2: I don't know him, I don't talk to him. But
Speaker 2: that would be an embarrassing situation for a superstar player
Speaker 2: who was just really the face of the NBA Finals
Speaker 2: and now he's in the Olympics and he can't get
Speaker 2: off the bench, and it'd be one thing if like,
Speaker 2: let me an example, Rudy Gobert, he can't get off
Speaker 2: the bench for France. He got benched, no longer starts
Speaker 2: and I think he played four minutes in their last game.
Speaker 2: That's a little odd knowing that he's like a multi
Speaker 2: time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and he's playing
Speaker 2: for a team that does not have that many NBA
Speaker 2: guys on it in France. But he's also a very
Speaker 2: rare player, like he has no offensive ability and he's
Speaker 2: just a guy that protects the rim, block shots and
Speaker 2: that's his impact. So at times you may not need that.
Speaker 2: At times he could be a liability for you on
Speaker 2: offense because he's so bad at that part of the game.
Speaker 2: So that makes sense as to why he may not
Speaker 2: be getting all the minutes. Face and Tatum is one
Speaker 2: of the best players on the planet. And I don't
Speaker 2: know why Steve Kerr would be like biased against Tatum.
Speaker 2: I don't know that he is, and I don't you know,
Speaker 2: I don't have no reason to believe that, But him
Speaker 2: not putting him in the game makes no sense at all,
Speaker 2: and I think it's actually led to like Steve Kerr,
Speaker 2: He's probably gonna end up winning the goal and good
Speaker 2: for him. But like I've always said this, and I
Speaker 2: know it sounds crazy because it just sounds crazy, but
Speaker 2: I said it years ago, like when he first took
Speaker 2: over in Golden State and they started winning. I'm not
Speaker 2: sure we've ever seen anything from Steve Kerr that tells
Speaker 2: us he's a great coach. Again, sounds crazy. How many
Speaker 2: titles does the guy have? Right, Like he has been
Speaker 2: the coach of a modern day dynasty that was they're
Speaker 2: not a dynasty anymore, but whenever they were winning their
Speaker 2: titles and then KD left and they still came back
Speaker 2: and won another one with that trio Clay Steph and Draymond.
Speaker 2: I hate the Warriors, but I respect them a lot,
Speaker 2: and I think that really that made it to where
Speaker 2: it wasn't just a flukey kind of thing, like they regrouped,
Speaker 2: KD was gone and they still won another title. Like,
Speaker 2: I mean, Kerr was the coach of all that, but
Speaker 2: he inherited all these guys and the GM who's now
Speaker 2: doing analyst work, Bob Myers. He's the guy who put
Speaker 2: the team together. Like Steve Kerr is a former player
Speaker 2: who was was he doing broadcasting maybe yes, yeah, and
Speaker 2: then he's showed up and started coaching, And like, you know,
Speaker 2: like it sounds insane, and I say a lot of
Speaker 2: things that sound insane, and I'm sure I'll say many
Speaker 2: things in the next two and a half hours that
Speaker 2: make me sound like an idiot. But what can stee
Speaker 2: why I could win a title with that team? I mean,
Speaker 2: the only thing I issue I would have was like,
Speaker 2: you know, substitutions. You know what I'd be worried about.
Speaker 2: Draymond wanted to punch me if I took him out
Speaker 2: of the game, right, But like, also Steve Kerr, if
Speaker 2: he's a good coach, he wouldn't allow Draymond to be Draymond,
Speaker 2: Like that's not normal in any way. So like I've
Speaker 2: always been kind of anti Steve Kerr because I feel
Speaker 2: like Mark Jackson actually really got that that era rolling
Speaker 2: in Golden State. So I mean, if he wins gold
Speaker 2: and good for him and it'll be great for everybody.
Speaker 2: But I actually think the way he's handled the roster
Speaker 2: and the way they were getting blown out yesterday, like
Speaker 2: it's made people kind of question, Okay, like that guy,
Speaker 2: like go put go have him coach the Orlando Magic.
Speaker 2: Let's go see what he would do with the Detroit Pistons.
Speaker 2: All right, we got to get to our first break.
Speaker 2: I'm just yapping, which I guess is kind of the job.
Speaker 2: Something else we got to talk about to Deon Sanders
Speaker 2: continuing to make a fool of himself. Eventually, Eventually, I
Speaker 2: believe there'll be enough people that just realized this guy.
Speaker 2: I mean, why are we even giving why are we
Speaker 2: even giving Colorado the attention? It's a circus, all right,
Speaker 2: stick around, it's a Friday, It's coffee and company. We're
Speaker 2: phil about Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2: You know, over the many, the many different Olympics that
Speaker 2: we've had in my lifetime, it seems as if there's
Speaker 2: always an obscure sport that people discover or maybe they
Speaker 2: knew it existed, but they never watched it, or maybe
Speaker 2: you know, they didn't know it existed, and they're like,
Speaker 2: what the heck is this? This is kind of cool.
Speaker 2: I've never been able to share that feeling. I've never had.
Speaker 2: There's just not just not to be a hater, it's
Speaker 2: just there's not been a sport that I found during
Speaker 2: Olympic coverage that you don't typically see, you know, on
Speaker 2: ESPN on prime time that I'm like, oh, wow, this
Speaker 2: is great. I want to watch this. However, this breakdance
Speaker 2: and stuff is insane. I mean, it's it's gone viral
Speaker 2: all over and I don't know how new it is
Speaker 2: to the Olympics. But if you told me this was
Speaker 2: a Saturday night live skit like watching what this like
Speaker 2: what this is? I would believe you. But it's clearly not.
Speaker 2: And it's like a real it's a real thing, and
Speaker 2: I'm just I have so many questions as far as
Speaker 2: like how you get into it, you know, how do
Speaker 2: you be like how do you judge this? Right? Like
Speaker 2: how do you know? I mean, everybody's got their own
Speaker 2: preference as far as who's breakdancing moves are better than others, right, Like,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe I come out and do some kind
Speaker 2: of a you know, a slow erotic set with breakdancing,
Speaker 2: and then John comes out. He's high energy, he's bouncing
Speaker 2: around like you know, both can be great. It's just
Speaker 2: a matter of preference.
Speaker 1: I think I'm looking at it right now, and I
Speaker 1: feel like the only way to judge this fairly would
Speaker 1: be similarly to how you judged like the gymnastics routines,
Speaker 1: Like how difficult it.
Speaker 2: Might be execute something. Yes, I mean it's super I
Speaker 2: mean you got to be super talented to do it.
Speaker 1: And I am surprised this is an Olympic sport though.
Speaker 2: Like break dancing, Like I honestly, you could do something
Speaker 2: in front of me and tell me that it's break
Speaker 2: dancing and it not, and I would just believe you.
Speaker 2: Like I don't really know, like dancing to me is
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be able to to determine which version of
Speaker 2: dancing it is. But I have like I'm jealous of
Speaker 2: people who can dance. And I don't mean like just
Speaker 2: break dancing Olympics. I many people who like literally can
Speaker 2: like just I mean they have rhythm that God gave them.
Speaker 2: And you know, a lot of white people don't dance well.
Speaker 2: But then there's some that are just like gifted, and
Speaker 2: it's something I'm jealous of. I have a friend who
Speaker 2: I grew up with, close friend of mine, love him dearly.
Speaker 2: He now lives across the country in Seattle, and you know,
Speaker 2: I miss him, but he like that was Have I
Speaker 2: ever told you this story? Like I don't think so.
Speaker 2: I have a friend who I grew up with, played
Speaker 2: high school basketball with. I mean I played I played
Speaker 2: sports with him from the time we were five years
Speaker 2: old until we graduated high school. And one we were
Speaker 2: getting towards the end of high school, he you know,
Speaker 2: he realized he was a really good dancer, and he
Speaker 2: ended up joining like a cheerleading team and was like
Speaker 2: part of their corek uh, like a like a not
Speaker 2: a not a school cheerleading team, but like you know,
Speaker 2: like a team that goes to competitions, like you know,
Speaker 2: big deal, Like they fly every weekend at different places.
Speaker 2: But he was mostly there as far as like the choreography,
Speaker 2: like he was that was his gift. Well, once we
Speaker 2: got out of high school, he went away to school
Speaker 2: at WKU and met other people that were like really
Speaker 2: into the dancing world and culture and at that time.
Speaker 2: It was actually and I'm sure it still is really big.
Speaker 2: But there was a show on MTV called America's Best
Speaker 2: Dance Crew. It was really popular. Randy Jackson did it,
Speaker 2: the guy who was the judge for for American Idol
Speaker 2: and his crew got on there on MTV and they
Speaker 2: were They made it pretty deep. They didn't win it,
Speaker 2: but then he he he created a career for himself
Speaker 2: and a life for himself as a as a dancer,
Speaker 2: like a hip hop dancer. He was. He toured with
Speaker 2: Chris Brown for six years. He was in I mean
Speaker 2: you can go in pretty Oh. It's cool as hell,
Speaker 2: and he's super, super talented. But like I mean, I've
Speaker 2: known him my whole life, and like growing up, he
Speaker 2: didn't dance around us, and we had no clue he
Speaker 2: had this gift. It was just kind of wild. And then,
Speaker 2: you know, because he moved away, we just you know,
Speaker 2: we thought we knew he was out there, you know,
Speaker 2: trying to He lived in Atlanta, lived in LA and
Speaker 2: then now he'd met his he met his now wife
Speaker 2: in LA and they live where she's from in Seattle.
Speaker 2: They've got two beautiful kids together, and he's no longer
Speaker 2: dancing he works for I believe, I believe it might
Speaker 2: work for eighteen t But anyways, you know, like it's
Speaker 2: just it it's crazy to see like people be able
Speaker 2: to do that, Like I can't. I can't relate in
Speaker 2: any way. And I'm sure there's so much training and
Speaker 2: it's a craft that you have to put so much
Speaker 2: time and energy into, like anything else that you want
Speaker 2: to be great at. But I'm I'm sorry. I could.
Speaker 2: I could put in more work. I could put in
Speaker 2: double the work that some of these people put in,
Speaker 2: And I know for a fact, I can't do that.
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't. I can't spend on my head.
Speaker 2: I can't, you know, put my leg in front and
Speaker 2: slide the other way. I mean, there's there's just crazy
Speaker 2: stuff out there that I that I can't relate to.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I remember when it really hit me. We uh,
Speaker 2: we were my wife and I think we just had maya.
Speaker 2: This was years ago because it's been a while since
Speaker 2: he was with Chris Brown. But for about five six years,
Speaker 2: I mean he toured. I mean I remember he spent
Speaker 2: like three months in South in South Africa with something
Speaker 2: they were doing, Like he traveled the world and you know,
Speaker 2: I'm sure he had a blast. But I remember Chris
Speaker 2: Brown was performing on might have been I don't think
Speaker 2: it was LENO, one of those kind of shows. Leno
Speaker 2: might not have been around anymore, but it was one
Speaker 2: of those main shows that like you see and sure enough,
Speaker 2: you know, Chris Brown's performing, and there he is, there
Speaker 2: is there is there he is. He's right there next
Speaker 2: to him, and I just remember thinking like, holy crap, Like,
Speaker 2: you know, I knew he was doing his thing. I
Speaker 2: knew he was working with Chris Brown, but here we
Speaker 2: are looking at him on you know, ABC or whatever
Speaker 2: it may be. So yeah, shout out to all the
Speaker 2: breakdancers your talent. And I'm not someone that's gonna claim
Speaker 2: that it shouldn't be in the Olympics because it's a skill,
Speaker 2: it's a talent, and this wouldn't come, this wouldn't even
Speaker 2: be on my radar of things we need to eliminate
Speaker 2: from the Olympics because it's actually highly entertaining and I
Speaker 2: get a lot of envy when when watching it. All right,
Speaker 2: So another story that I do think is notable. Something
Speaker 2: that is I think if you're a Louisville fan, if
Speaker 2: you're worried about the future of the ACC. It's probably
Speaker 2: something that you have some interest in, but it's it's
Speaker 2: kind of boring. It's legal stuff once again. But Ross
Speaker 2: Ellinger of Yahoo Sports is reporting that Florida State and
Speaker 2: the ACC are to begin mediation next week. And I mean,
Speaker 2: there's no real way to know until I guess mediation
Speaker 2: takes place. But this this, I mean the way this
Speaker 2: write up reads, and I've read the majority of it
Speaker 2: during the Breakthrough. I just saw it when I think
Speaker 2: this story actually broke as soon yeah three oh seven,
Speaker 2: as soon as the show started, so I haven't been
Speaker 2: able to read read this piece in its entirety over
Speaker 2: there a Yahoo Sports, But I mean, it sounds as
Speaker 2: if like there could be a potential settlement to where
Speaker 2: the ACC does let Florida State leave but for a
Speaker 2: specific amount of money, which I don't know why they
Speaker 2: would do that. And if you're Florida State, did you
Speaker 2: not get humbled, like maybe you don't believe what was
Speaker 2: said about you in that report that Bret mcmurfrey put
Speaker 2: out a few weeks ago. But what value does Florida
Speaker 2: State give the SEC. They're a bad partner because what
Speaker 2: they did is unprecedented, a lawsuit against a conference that
Speaker 2: you're a member of, and you did it out of spite.
Speaker 2: You did it as a sore loser. You blame the
Speaker 2: ACC on you not making the college football Playoff last year,
Speaker 2: when in reality they had nothing to do with the ACC.
Speaker 2: It's unfortunate. There's really nobody to blame. It's just one
Speaker 2: of those things. You chalk it up to the game,
Speaker 2: as they say, your star quarterback got hurt, and everybody
Speaker 2: knew you were not a legitimate one of the four
Speaker 2: best teams in the country without Jordan Travis. That's why
Speaker 2: you got left out. It sucks. It's really not fair,
Speaker 2: but you know what, a lot of things in life
Speaker 2: aren't fair. But I'll read some of this from ross
Speaker 2: Ellinger's report. It says, while this is a significant step
Speaker 2: in the proceedings, the mediation phase and in person discussion
Speaker 2: between the two sides in front of a neutral mediator
Speaker 2: is an is an expected one and is not guaranteed
Speaker 2: to produce a settlement decision. The neutral mediator has chose,
Speaker 2: has been chosen, and the two sides, barring something unforeseen,
Speaker 2: will convene for the talks next week. Those with the
Speaker 2: knowledge of the discussions, tell y'ahoo sports. Officials at the
Speaker 2: ACC and at Florida State both declined to comment. Goes
Speaker 2: on to say that the ACC and one of its
Speaker 2: premier brands are locked in a legal fight. The Seminals
Speaker 2: are attempting to exit the conference without paying both the
Speaker 2: exit fee and the cost of buying out its media rights,
Speaker 2: which it agreed years ago to grant the conference. The
Speaker 2: price tag of such an exit is estimated to be
Speaker 2: at more than five hundred million dollars, according to court records. So,
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess we'll see what comes from this mediation.
Speaker 2: If you're Florida State, do you really still feel as
Speaker 2: if you are a victim here? And do you really
Speaker 2: like I think there's layers to the Florida State side
Speaker 2: of it as far as cause the cat's already out
Speaker 2: of the bag. They filed a lawsuit, they fought this long,
Speaker 2: They've paid a lot of money, and you don't want
Speaker 2: to just you know quit and you know take the
Speaker 2: l and just you know, have to eat crow, I suppose,
Speaker 2: But then again, like, consider your options here. I think
Speaker 2: the Big ten would be interested in adding Florida State,
Speaker 2: but not just them, right, and if Florida State's out
Speaker 2: there on an island, are they just going to add them?
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess they wouldn't be the craziest thing,
Speaker 2: but Florida State would be the furthest team. I mean,
Speaker 2: who'd be the closest team in the Big ten to
Speaker 2: Florida State? Would it be?
Speaker 1: I you it's either Indiana or Maryland more than likely
Speaker 1: one of those.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean it's and again, geography hasn't really
Speaker 2: mattered a whole lot in a while. But like, I
Speaker 2: don't know, like if you imagine if you paid and
Speaker 2: you wouldn't do this, by the way, but if you
Speaker 2: ended up paying like a settlement that's four hundred million
Speaker 2: dollars just to be free, and you didn't get an invite,
Speaker 2: how would you survive? You would have no. And again,
Speaker 2: one of the things that that that makes it impossible
Speaker 2: for these schools to get out of this grant of
Speaker 2: rights that rarely gets discussed, is that you're not just paying,
Speaker 2: you know, the five hundred million plus that's estimated in
Speaker 2: these court records, because you're just breaking free of your
Speaker 2: agreement and you're you're you know, you're having to pay
Speaker 2: your way out of something you agreed to. It's and
Speaker 2: make it the correct verbage here. Yeah, it says it's
Speaker 2: not only paying the exit fee, but it's the cost
Speaker 2: of buying out its media rights. What they mean by
Speaker 2: that as far as buying out your media rights, you
Speaker 2: got to I mean, I think the majority of the
Speaker 2: cost here would be that if you don't buy out
Speaker 2: your media rights along with the exit fee again north
Speaker 2: through five hundred million dollars, you could leave, but you
Speaker 2: couldn't play games on TV because the ACC owns your rights.
Speaker 2: You know, you don't own your rights, and that's what's
Speaker 2: kind of weird about this. But then again, there's so
Speaker 2: much money being shared, like you're in the sec of
Speaker 2: the Big ten, and I guess you could even say
Speaker 2: the same thing about the ACC in the Big twelve,
Speaker 2: Like the bulk of the money that these schools make
Speaker 2: from athletics is from these grant it's from these from
Speaker 2: these media rights deals. So therefore, like it's worth it,
Speaker 2: there's no doubt about it. You need that money, it's
Speaker 2: worth it. But it's also weird knowing that you don't
Speaker 2: own your content right like you don't own it. So
Speaker 2: like last week when Lola was in the Bahamas. They
Speaker 2: were able to do that like YouTube stream with the
Speaker 2: Field of sixty eight because it was it was because
Speaker 2: of how they tied ind not the Field of sixty eight.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. The crew from Field of sixty eight was
Speaker 2: doing the broadcast Rob and tj or too, I should say,
Speaker 2: but it was through the collective, the five B two circle.
Speaker 2: And what are they calling it, Floyd Street Media, because
Speaker 2: if it was, you know, if they were going to
Speaker 2: put Paul Rodgers or you know, somebody else. I guess
Speaker 2: not Paul Rodgers because he does radio. But what I'm
Speaker 2: getting at is like the ACC would be the ACC
Speaker 2: Network Extra or just the ACC Network itself. They're the
Speaker 2: only ones who have the ability to air that live
Speaker 2: on a television station or a network. So I don't
Speaker 2: know what to expect here. I just have a hard
Speaker 2: time seeing Florida State getting out of the league and
Speaker 2: paying that. But then again, like they're still fighting, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like they've not thrown in the
Speaker 2: towel yet.
Speaker 1: I'm with you though, Like even though the Big Ten
Speaker 1: wants to expand their geographical region as much as they want,
Speaker 1: I just the way that Florida State kind of handles themselves.
Speaker 1: If something were to ever happen to the Big Ten
Speaker 1: down the line to where they just I don't think
Speaker 1: it will happen anytime soon, But who's to say they
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it again to try to get out of
Speaker 1: their deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, it's tough to know how legit
Speaker 2: it is. I don't think Bret McMurphy put out anything
Speaker 2: that wasn't real information he was getting from legitimate people.
Speaker 2: But there is something to be said about being a
Speaker 2: good league. If you're gonna if you're gonna get an
Speaker 2: invite to a league, especially a league that for the
Speaker 2: most part has been solidified for quite some time with
Speaker 2: the majority of its core members, you already have a
Speaker 2: reputation of being a bad partner. And I don't know
Speaker 2: if you want to And I don't know. Again, this
Speaker 2: is one of those things where I really don't know
Speaker 2: how much it matters. But they're also apparently not even
Speaker 2: close to being on par with the rest of the
Speaker 2: Big Ten academically. And I do believe of all these leagues,
Speaker 2: the one league that I think does actually care about
Speaker 2: that more than others. I mean, they care about money
Speaker 2: more than anything, But I think the Big Ten is
Speaker 2: sort of in there. I mean, I do think they
Speaker 2: hold themselves to a higher standard when it comes to
Speaker 2: the academic side of stuff, and Florida State doesn't help
Speaker 2: them in that regard. And I talked about it yesterday
Speaker 2: with Kentucky in the SEC. If you're Florida State, like
Speaker 2: you are, one of the big dogs of this conference,
Speaker 2: there's value there. Now if you're not making enough money
Speaker 2: and all that, and that's one thing, but there's also
Speaker 2: no guarantee that you would even get into one of
Speaker 2: these other leagues. And even though you're probably still going
Speaker 2: to be behind everybody in the Big Ten and in
Speaker 2: the SEC, if you do your part and you win
Speaker 2: at a high level like the ACC at least has
Speaker 2: made adjustments to where you're gonna be incentivized based off performance,
Speaker 2: and that's where you could clean up and find yourself
Speaker 2: making you know, potentially right around what they're gonna make,
Speaker 2: at least for the time being. All right, quick break,
Speaker 2: we'll come back, keep this thing rolling along. It's a Friday.
Speaker 2: We're feeling good at least I am. Hopefully you guys
Speaker 2: are as well. If not, I mean, we'll try to
Speaker 2: fix that over the next two hours and some change
Speaker 2: right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. I am not
Speaker 2: too proud to say that I love this song, but
Speaker 2: I do think it's the first time I've ever requested it,
Speaker 2: and I did request John to play this. And here's why.
Speaker 2: I just find this stuff to be fascinating. This song,
Speaker 2: of course is I mean, it's legendary, right, And that's
Speaker 2: not to say it's like the best song ever, but
Speaker 2: I mean this was a huge hit. I would say
Speaker 2: of all of en syncs songs as this not the
Speaker 2: most notable one.
Speaker 1: Definitely one of the time two or three I would get.
Speaker 2: Well, it's now back in the top twenty of the
Speaker 2: Billboard charts because it's a part of Marvel's Deadpool and Wolverine. Okay,
Speaker 2: so this happens from time to tom and again. I
Speaker 2: find it fascinating that a song can appear like in
Speaker 2: the trailer of a movie, or it can just become
Speaker 2: a viral TikTok sound that people use. Right, If you're
Speaker 2: trying to catch on with the algorithm and really grow
Speaker 2: on TikTok or Instagram, one of the best ways to
Speaker 2: do that is to attach your content to a trending sound.
Speaker 2: And I was looking during the break to try to
Speaker 2: find the example that I that I I mean, I
Speaker 2: remember this was a couple of years ago, but it
Speaker 2: was just so fascinating to me. There was a woman
Speaker 2: who and some of the songs that go viral on
Speaker 2: TikTok that just become the trending sounds. I mean, there's
Speaker 2: no rhyme or reason, right. Some of them are just odd,
Speaker 2: and some of them are old. Some of them are
Speaker 2: not even professionally recorded. Like it's just wild how that works.
Speaker 2: But there was a woman who had a hit that was,
Speaker 2: you know, decent, and she wasn't lever like a mainstream
Speaker 2: famous musician in like the eighties. But you know, if
Speaker 2: you google her, you'd find her Wikipedia and see that
Speaker 2: she had a run. She started a comfortable life away
Speaker 2: from entertainment in Hollywood, and one of her old songs became,
Speaker 2: i think in twenty twenty two, maybe the most shared
Speaker 2: sound within the TikTok platform, and it restarted her music career,
Speaker 2: and she started going on tour again and like became
Speaker 2: you know, was you know, I don't know if she
Speaker 2: made new music, but like, I just think that's cool
Speaker 2: and in sync doesn't need any you know they're still
Speaker 2: I mean they're again it's gonna sound like I'm like
Speaker 2: an n Sync fanboy, but like they're an iconic group
Speaker 2: and they were big at a time where you know,
Speaker 2: you could certainly overdo it when it comes to playing
Speaker 2: their music, and I'm sure that still is a thing
Speaker 2: this day and age. But now you can listen to
Speaker 2: whatever you want. You're not You're not only able to
Speaker 2: listen to what they decide to play on the radio
Speaker 2: right like I can.
Speaker 1: In the days of en Sync, was it them versus
Speaker 1: the Backstreet Boys? Was there like a fandom rivalry?
Speaker 2: Uh? I mean, I don't know. I mean, I feel
Speaker 2: like both were super popular. I don't and I would
Speaker 2: imagine that that they I mean, they hid huge fan bases,
Speaker 2: but I could be wrong. I think it'd probably a
Speaker 2: better question for like a girl my age because that
Speaker 2: was the era, like we were the we were the
Speaker 2: demo my age group was the demo of that, like
Speaker 2: with Britney Spears Backstreet Boys in Saint Christina Aguilere, although
Speaker 2: she wasn't as big as those others. I mean that
Speaker 2: was like that was we were the kids that were
Speaker 2: tuning into TRL with Carson Daily to see. I mean
Speaker 2: it was crazy, and then I remember the new wave
Speaker 2: kind of came in with it being a little bit
Speaker 2: more not as uh, although I mean you go back
Speaker 2: and look at what Britney Spears was wearing in her
Speaker 2: videos when she was that young and we were that young,
Speaker 2: like it was far from you know, appropriate, But then
Speaker 2: again nowadays, I mean it seems like everything's off limits
Speaker 2: when it comes to that. But kid rock with ball
Speaker 2: with the ball and then in sync and not in
Speaker 2: sync but limb Biscuit, like, uh, did it all for
Speaker 2: the nookie? Like I remember that era of TRL where
Speaker 2: you had and then became huge, so like it was
Speaker 2: that era of like pop, but I don't think eminem
Speaker 2: was more hip hop rap or whatever. Yeah, exactly exactly
Speaker 2: radio music like top one hundred hits, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: But I don't remember there being like a thing where
Speaker 2: if you liked in sync, you must not like the
Speaker 2: Backstreet Boys, you know what I'm saying. But I'm sure
Speaker 2: there were people that were so loyal to one that
Speaker 2: they didn't like the other and at times like, actually,
Speaker 2: let's do this. This is probably not something that's gonna
Speaker 2: be a good look, But I don't care as I said,
Speaker 2: Guardrails come off on Friday's John throughout the show play
Speaker 2: me different songs from each of the two, and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna see if I can tell you which ones which? Okay,
Speaker 2: do you think I'll be able to cause I kind
Speaker 2: of feel like I'll be able to know, but I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe not, Yeah, And so I'll do I'll try to
Speaker 1: mix it up, maybe do easy hits, but maybe maybe
