Fuel Beth Thornton's on 15 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:56.359 Sports Talk seven ninety On a beautiful, beautiful Wednesday afternoon. 16 00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.840 It's not real warm, and when it gets the wind 17 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.960 gets to a whippon, it can be a little chilly, 18 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.400 but hey, it is beautiful outside and I've been wanting 19 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:09.959 some sunshine and we have it today and that has 20 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.280 me very excited. I'm excited to be here. I'm always 21 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.680 excited to be here. I think like ninety eight percent 22 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:17.079 of the time when I tell you that, I really 23 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:18.439 mean it. But I'm telling you I really mean it 24 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:22.439 today because as I was on the drive in here, Austin. 25 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.560 I was thinking about how fortunate we are that this 26 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.239 is what we get to do, like for a job, 27 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.000 which I think we try to keep that in mind 28 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:31.680 at all times because you never know when it's going 29 00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:33.439 to come to an end. One day, this won't be 30 00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:36.200 what we do and it'll be sad. But I've been 31 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.599 doing some adult stuff today, right. We talked about taxis yesterday. 32 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.680 You know, overall, I have a great woman who is 33 00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.159 my wife, and she kind of takes care of a 34 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.040 lot of the adult stuff and I'm very fortunate for that. 35 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.519 We've talked about it many times really over the years. 36 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:53.920 But today, you know, it was one of those days 37 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.599 where I couldn't wait to just get here and kind 38 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.400 of you know, block out some adult stuff. And like, 39 00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.280 I don't want to make this about like, you know, 40 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.840 my my personal life by any means, but you know, 41 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:08.000 you experience things sometimes maybe early in your life as 42 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.560 an adult or maybe a little bit later. You know, 43 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.800 a lot of us, myself included, like I just get 44 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:14.479 caught up in my own bubble, you know what I mean. 45 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.599 Like sure, I try to, especially with this, with with 46 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.639 this gig what we do, I try to, you know, 47 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.960 keep an ear to the ground as far as what's 48 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.080 being discussed, what's interesting, what is out there that is topical, 49 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:28.960 And then really the name of the game is relatability, 50 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.439 talking about things that people have an opinion on that 51 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.879 they can relate to. I mean, that's that's that's a 52 00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.599 big key in what we do. But for me, you know, 53 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.319 I've I've been very lucky up until recently to never 54 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.400 really have to worry about like issues with with like 55 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.159 not not my health, but just like with with medical 56 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.719 care sure, and and this is not new. This is 57 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.520 I guess been a thing for a long time, and 58 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.360 I'd heard about it, but I guess, you know, one 59 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.879 ear out the other, it just wasn't something I ever 60 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.719 spent much time thinking about until you know, it started 61 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.000 affecting me. And there's really nothing that can be done 62 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.120 about it, at least that I don't know if, and 63 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.360 there's nobody that you know, I'm not starting the show 64 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.000 by going on a bitching session about you know, about 65 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.159 any specific entity or any specific person. But you know, 66 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.120 my daughter, I talked about her many times over the 67 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.400 over the years, and I know Austin, you know her, 68 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.759 my daughter Maya. She she's special needs, and she her 69 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.199 diagnosis is she's autistic, and she also has an intellectual disability, 70 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.719 and and you know, all in all, she's great. We 71 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.240 have a great life. I mean, it's it's awesome. So 72 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:35.599 I don't bring that up to say, like you know, 73 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.439 to complain, but you know, with that, there comes, you know, 74 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.520 there comes just challenges hardships that maybe you know you 75 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.199 wouldn't experience if if if you're not someone that is 76 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.840 that is disabled in special needs. But you know, I 77 00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.479 got a pretty good head on my shoulders about all that. 78 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.000 I mean, it's not something that I just you know, 79 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.560 I mean sometimes it's tough, but overall, like I wouldn't 80 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.319 change a thing to be honest with you. I mean, 81 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.520 so with all that said, I'm we're just now as 82 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.240 a family kind of dealing with like things that I 83 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.719 just still can't believe are are a thing gives me 84 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.759 like a pit in my stomach, like you know she's 85 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.199 got And when you have a when you have a 86 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.719 child who is you know, in her situation, it's really 87 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:20.040 it's a never ending type of thing. As far as evaluations, 88 00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.600 just anything we can learn and get looked at to 89 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.759 where we can provide a better life for her. To 90 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:31.680 where you know, things aren't as challenging at times. So 91 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.800 it's it's endless. It's a it's a journey, it's a ride, 92 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.759 and you know, it's just what we do. But she 93 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.439 she's having she's having some issues where she she just 94 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:46.120 gets really really exhausted and she you know, she'll it's 95 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.920 not like she passes out, but like she just completely 96 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.959 just gets absolutely winded and exhausted, and just like she 97 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.600 can't keep her eyes open when she's in school. You know, 98 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.120 she'll just be sitting up and fall asleep. And it's 99 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.600 not because she's not getting any rest, you know. So 100 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.920 we're trying to figure out what's causing that. And that's 101 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.959 been like such a pain in the ass because you know, 102 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.199 they told us to get lab work done. Okay, we'll 103 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.439 do that. Well, then insurance doesn't cover it. So then 104 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:14.720 it's just a it's just a back and forth with 105 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.639 her primary doctor and the insurance company about like we 106 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.439 shouldn't have to pay fifteen hundred dollars out of pocket. 107 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:23.519 We have health insurance. 108 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.480 What is this right? 109 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.160 And just it just makes me sick to my stomach 110 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.839 to know that the insurance companies there are people there 111 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:36.920 whose job is to quite literally strategically find and I'm 112 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.319 sure they've got like a maybe not a script, but 113 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.199 like you know, there's a strategy to it to where 114 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:42.720 they're going to find whatever they can to make sure 115 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.279 they don't have to pay for anything. And I'm just thinking, like, well, 116 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.439 we pay for health insurance, we're getting lab work done, 117 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.639 why wouldn't that cover it? And then also she gets 118 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:57.240 speech therapy occupational therapy, and occupational therapy is things like 119 00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:01.079 helping her be able to get herself dress and and 120 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.199 things like that. And she's she's been dealing with that. 121 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.839 I mean, she's been she's had those therapy sessions for 122 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.399 for a long time and they they're valuable. And even 123 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.600 you know, even if it was something that we you know, 124 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.759 can't tell visit by visit a real big growth, why 125 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:17.199 would we not do it. It's just a chance for 126 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.720 her to to you know, to to to develop in 127 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.120 areas where she's behind. But like now all of a 128 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:25.839 sudden that's not covered like somebody whose special needs like insurance, 129 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.199 Like now we're not going to pay for her speech 130 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.319 therapy because you know, we we don't see it as 131 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.120 a necessary kind of thing. And it's just back and 132 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:37.839 forth with our doctor, the specialist, the therapists, i should say, 133 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.480 and then the insurance company. And it's just like it 134 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.560 it just, I don't know, it makes me, makes me 135 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.240 angry and sad sometimes just to know that like society 136 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.519 like this is the thing, and you know, here I am. 137 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.279 It's it's it's dealing with it. It's it's affecting me 138 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:52.800 and my family for the first time. And I'm sure 139 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.399 there's people listening that have dealt with it for a 140 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.439 long time and it's been a lot worse. So trust me, 141 00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.199 I know, all in all, there are many others that 142 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.040 that have much more struggles than we do. But it's just, 143 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.480 you know, it's just it's drives me insane, and I 144 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:09.720 don't you know understand. I've been thinking about it a 145 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.920 lot today because we're we're she had some testing done 146 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.680 last week and we're waiting to get those results and 147 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.240 then this, you know today at school. She she's having 148 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.040 some issues with the same things. She just really really exhausted. 149 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.000 And we think, like we have an idea as far 150 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:29.600 as what it specifically is, and and if in fact 151 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.600 we do determine that that that's what it is, then 152 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.680 she'll be on medication, OK, and it'll and it'll help, 153 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.759 but like in order to see the specialist that you know, 154 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.839 that can tell us if in fact, what her primary 155 00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.600 doctor believes could be the issue, and what we believe 156 00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:49.720 as far as us knowing her behaviors and all that 157 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.319 kind of stuff. I mean, it's it's an end in endocrinologist. 158 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.240 Like we can't get an appointment until July, and I'm 159 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:02.240 just like, I mean, we're trying our best, and you know, 160 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:06.319 it's not one person, it's really not one entity. It's 161 00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:09.279 just I guess the system, you know, just just just 162 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.279 making it as difficult as possible. And you know, I'm 163 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.800 sure we'll deal with much worse in life, not even 164 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.480 related to just my children, but like, you know, it, 165 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.040 in the end of the world, it could be a 166 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.720 lot worse. Overall, we're very fortunate considering, you know, everything, 167 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.079 But today's one of those days where I'm just like, man, 168 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.319 I'm lucky in a lot of ways, but to be 169 00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.399 able to just you know, this absolutely is fun. I 170 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:34.720 love it. Don't know what I would do without it, 171 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.159 meeting this show and just what this is however, you know, 172 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:42.879 like it's also like an escape from you know, real 173 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.840 real life stuff, and wouldn't you agree, Like at times, 174 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.200 you know, there are there there are some things as 175 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.559 far as like performance related stress that that adds stress 176 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.679 to this, but overall, like there are people who go 177 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.240 to work every day and like it's a stressful job, 178 00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:01.039 like it's it's just really taxing when it comes to 179 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.399 stress and anxiety, and that would be that would be 180 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.000 you know, again, it's life for a lot of people. 181 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:10.159 So as I as I have you know, been looking 182 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:12.080 forward all day to getting here at three o'clock and 183 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:15.720 getting this party started. Work is my escape. And I 184 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:17.879 just I know that there aren't many people that are 185 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.840 able to to to say that some people probably have 186 00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.759 stress about real life stuff that isn't work related and 187 00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:25.080 then they go to work and they have a new 188 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:28.600 layer of different types of stress. So anyways, well we'll 189 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:30.159 move on. I mean, I could sit here and yap 190 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:31.639 about this stuff all day, but I know it's not 191 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:32.799 what we're supposed to do here. 192 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:34.399 But anyways, if you. 193 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:38.799 Know of a of an in dung An Indo chronologist 194 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:44.000 that might have an availability before July, no joke, let 195 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:45.519 me know, because you know, I. 196 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.440 Don't even know what Indo is not well, I know, 197 00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:50.559 I know one endo, but they probably doesn't. 198 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.799 I mean, I feel like I'm not I feel like 199 00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.639 I'm saying it correctly, but clearly it sounds about right. 200 00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:59.039 And there there's there's a there's there's not a lot 201 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:00.799 of confidence in the way I'm saying it right. So 202 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.919 indocrinologist is is I believe? 203 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:05.320 Yeah, So what is that? 204 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:05.519 Like? 205 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:06.600 The study of is that? 206 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:12.039 Like so they diagnose and treat conditions that involve like hormones, 207 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.879 and I mean, so what we think has happened here 208 00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:17.440 is that she has a thyroid disorder and and and 209 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:19.960 we think that's why she just gets every now and 210 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.519 then she just gets so exhausted to where she literally 211 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.240 can't do much of anything. And then she'll sleep sometimes 212 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.279 for a long time, like all through the night, and 213 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.320 then the next day she'll have it. She'll have a 214 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.840 long nap and just kind of be you know, and 215 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.519 then then and then she's back to normal. And it's 216 00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:38.440 never as if she's dealing with like you know, like 217 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:41.320 it's not like she's acting sick. It's not like you know, 218 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.360 there's no she's no, she's just tired and and you know, 219 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.600 so anyways, long story, short, let's let's let's let me 220 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:52.120 escape what's stressing me out in my real life. Let's here, 221 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.240 let's let's get into the nonsense and have some fun today. 222 00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:57.679 I mean, look where you're at.

No, 247 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:57.840 and you mentioned for it. 248 00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:59.440 So I got here a little b earlier than I 249 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.559 typically do, and I do this every now and then. 250 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:03.279 Have you ever been to the top of this garage, 251 00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:04.639 the very. 252 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.639 Top of it? I think so. I think I've snucking 253 00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:08.480 out there to take in a few naps before. 254 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.440 So if you ever think of it, drive up to 255 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.039 the top when you get here or whenever you leave, 256 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.720 whatever you want to do. There's actually a sneaky, phenomenal 257 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.240 view of Louisville that like, yeah, I mean again, I guess. 258 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.320 Any does it get to the point where there's no 259 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:27.440 top on the on the roof, like where you go, Okay, yeah, 260 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:29.320 I haven't been the way up there yet. 261 00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:29.679 No. 262 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:31.440 No, there's yeah, there's some I mean, it's you got 263 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:34.200 to I mean, and there's not only the skyline that 264 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.879 you can see that's beautiful, like behind us, and I 265 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:40.039 guess I've never I have never been in a position 266 00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:44.240 to actually view this, this angle of the church that's 267 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.600 right next to us, which is a beautiful, very old church. 268 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:48.679 I don't know what it's called, but it's right next 269 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.240 to our garage, you know, which what I'm talking about, right, 270 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.240 that's because because we have taller buildings all throughout downtown 271 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.320 where we are at least near us. You know, I 272 00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.559 don't I don't ever really think I've seen it. But 273 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:00.159 if you get to the top of our garage and 274 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.080 look to the left like it's it's beautiful. So good 275 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:06.159 vibes here on a Wednesday, and we got a lot 276 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:07.600 we'll get into and let you guys be a part 277 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:08.879 of the show.

And uh, there's not really one specific thing 284 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.960 that's gonna like drive the show today. We did talk 285 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.200 a lot yesterday about case and Pryor his decision and 286 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.639 there's no update. But a couple of people have pointed 287 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:38.679 this out throughout the week on the text line is like, 288 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.000 do we need a type of announcement for Case and 289 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.919 Pryor whenever we didn't get one and aren't expecting anything 290 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.799 from a James Scott or a Cannai Ruse And I've 291 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:51.919 got I've got, you know, Case, I can do whatever 292 00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:53.360 the hell he wants. I hope he comes back, and 293 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.440 regardless if he gives us a big Instagram graphic with 294 00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.840 a quote or he doesn't, if he's back, I'm gonna 295 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.600 be happy. But I've got some thoughts on that. Also 296 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.279 when you I'm trying to think of an example, and 297 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:07.679 I should have. I should have given this a little 298 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.240 bit more thought throughout the day, because I'm sure there 299 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.279 are other there are other sayings like this that that 300 00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:18.039 you know it's no and I'll just get into it. 301 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.399 Kentucky fans with the news yesterday that they lost a 302 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.120 big time transfer who they were all in on Mark 303 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.080 Pope took him to Keetland, Baby, I mean he was 304 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.240 out there in the winter Circle. Pope had on the 305 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.600 UK letterman jacket, looking like the man and Wilkerson decides 306 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:38.600 to go to Indiana. And I think it's been really 307 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.159 evident in the last twenty four hours that Kentucky fans 308 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:44.240 they do not take rejection well. And I think there's 309 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:47.159 reasons for that, and we'll get into it today. However, 310 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.279 like who does take rejection well? Like, clearly you can 311 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:52.679 take it better than others, Like if you get you know, 312 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:55.159 if you get rejected and you act like a lunatic 313 00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:58.000 and you know, unload on somebody, you know that that's 314 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.759 probably about the worst way you could handle it. So 315 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:05.279 I guess handling it is. Handling it well would just 316 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:08.879 be like not letting, you know, it impact you to 317 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:12.279 where you you know, you become out of character or 318 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.799 something like that. So again, it's kind of like who 319 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.120 is great, Like, oh, I'm great at taking rejection one 320 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:19.759 That would be a sad thing to say, because that 321 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:23.919 means you get rejected a lot. So anyways, I just 322 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:27.679 I've got some lingering thoughts on just sort of this, 323 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:31.399 like this piece of news yesterday. There's layers to it 324 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.120 as to why I think Kentucky fans have reacted the 325 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:35.559 way that they reacted. I don't mean, I don't I 326 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.480 don't think they're out here acting like complete lunatics. But 327 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:42.480 there's a sense of entitlement that I still think is 328 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.679 all due to the man who coached that program and 329 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:47.679 had a lot of success early on and well overall 330 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:49.559 was great. I mean, Cayle Perry, say what you want. 331 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:51.519 I mean one title, yeah, and that's going to clearly 332 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:53.799 be something people bring up. But I mean, he had 333 00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:57.320 a phenomenal run in Lexington. There's no way around it. 334 00:15:57.320 --> 00:15:59.080 It was better in the beginning than it was towards 335 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.080 the end. We all know that. But like what he 336 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:05.519 did better than anything, The biggest strength among many that 337 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:11.240 he had was getting players, really getting anybody he wanted. 338 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.360 And I think, you know, again, we'll get into it. 339 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:15.159 I've got some thoughts as far as just you know, 340 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.720 dare I say advice for Kentucky fans. I'm not saying 341 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:21.360 you should just expect to start losing players all the time, 342 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:27.080 but the days of just getting players because you're Kentucky 343 00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.240 or because you know the guy coaching you gets really 344 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:32.440 whoever he wants one, that guy's not there anymore. And 345 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:38.120 it's really an entirely different world. And I mean, people 346 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:42.240 who wanted to make this somewhat of a segment I'm 347 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:43.600 kind of rolling through right now, and I don't want 348 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:45.000 to do that, so I'll continue to get the table 349 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:46.200 set for the rest of the show, but we will 350 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:48.759 talk a little bit more about that. But also the 351 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.600 Nico Lama la Vela probably not saying it right. I've 352 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:55.559 said it five different ways, I think this week. I 353 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.159 don't know. I mean Nico Tennessee, Nico, we'll call him that. 354 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.320 And you've got you got me in my own head here, Austin, 355 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:03.840 because I don't know is it an L or an? 356 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:06.079 I I think it's got to be an L. 357 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:11.160 I think it's is it is that what Ilama leve 358 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.279 because I I actually wanted to defer at first to 359 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:19.400 the the Molly Quorum reference and how she said said it. 360 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.079 So I'm thinking, actually, as I type it in right now, 361 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.440 according to our windows, what windows are we even on 362 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:30.319 whatever windows? Whatever I type in a upper case I, 363 00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:33.599 and it doesn't have the traditional like with the with 364 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:35.440 the line at the top and the line at the bottom, 365 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:38.359 it still looks like you wouldn't mistake it for like 366 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.519 an L. So I'm I'm thinking that it's an eye 367 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:43.839 in there. So I'm thinking it's is it? I A 368 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:44.559 lama vea? 369 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:46.279 Is how it is? 370 00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:50.279 I found a video. Okay, this video is from a decided. 371 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.039 This is from a Knoxville news station who enter and 372 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:55.960 this this makes me not feel quite like a dumb ass, 373 00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.319 because there's an entire news segment from this new station 374 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:05.279 w A T E six that interviewed fans outside of 375 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:08.759 Niland Stadium about six to seven different fans, asking them 376 00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:11.400 to pronounce it, and then they have him pronounce it. 377 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.039 And here is is Nico telling us how to say 378 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:21.400 his last name. Yeah, that's not easy to say, Yamalava. 379 00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:24.119 I think you were right though. Honestly, dude, I think Austin, 380 00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:34.240 I think you you there's Yama liava, Yama Leyava. Okay, 381 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:35.160 yama layava. 382 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.960 That is so hard to say while looking at it. 383 00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:43.799 So anyways, Nico lama lavea, is that right? Yamaaa yama layava, 384 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.079 Yama layava yamaa. 385 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:50.039 Yeah, that's right, yes, one of those yes. So anyways, uh, Tennesse, 386 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:54.079 he has zero market and this is ap No matter 387 00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:57.680 what happens with this guy, it's already played out to 388 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:02.640 be I think an example that will be referenced for 389 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.640 years to come in this new world of college athletics 390 00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:09.039 where players get paid and they can negotiate deals, because 391 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:13.440 this guy got greedy and he completely changed his career 392 00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:16.240 and he could end up being great elsewhere and then 393 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:18.039 maybe get to the end. Like it's not like he's 394 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:20.599 destined to be a failure, but it doesn't sound like 395 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.160 he's going to end up with a big time program. 396 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:27.079 And nobody's clearly just this being the first time we've 397 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:32.039 ever had a holdout for a college athlete. That alone 398 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.920 is the story. But what isn't getting mentioned a whole 399 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.200 lot is that he's not that good. I mean, he's young, 400 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:43.000 and he can get better. You can certainly find quarterbacks 401 00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:45.839
