1
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now, here's nick coffee.

3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:18.000
<v Speaker 2>As we get the five o'clock hours started here on

4
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:21.280
<v Speaker 2>a Thursday afternoon, first day of the NFL season. It

5
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 2>sounds like we've got some technical difficulties on our hands here.

6
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:27.879
<v Speaker 2>There were a few people in the text on that

7
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 2>had mentioned this, and I never know what to take

8
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.479
<v Speaker 2>from that, but one of my buddies sent in a

9
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:35.880
<v Speaker 2>video of what it sounded like when he was listening

10
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:40.039
<v Speaker 2>to us in his vehicle, and it doesn't didn't sound good,

11
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:41.719
<v Speaker 2>and it's not my fault. I mean, I'm not sure

12
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I sounded good with or without technical difficulties. But yeah,

13
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 2>so they're working on it. I've let the higher ups

14
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:54.679
<v Speaker 2>know and hopefully we're we're good to go asap. And

15
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:56.840
<v Speaker 2>maybe you're not even noticing these issues, but I know

16
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.880
<v Speaker 2>some are, and again they're working on it, so I

17
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 2>don't I would imagine John, we work in radio. But

18
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna ask a really dumb question. Okay, what's a transmitter?

19
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 3>The transmitter is the big thing that you know. It's

20
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.920
<v Speaker 3>kind of like the the gear shift. I guess it

21
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 3>kind of keeps us on course.

22
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 2>You could be making that up. They could be making

23
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 2>you could be making that up. Are you being like that.

24
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:20.879
<v Speaker 3>Might have been a horrible analogy?

25
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Is that like on the Is it on a tower?

26
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:23.239
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

27
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.439
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so like if they're streaming the show, they probably

28
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be impacted by the transmitter.

29
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.840
<v Speaker 3>I assuming people listening via stream don't notice the problem.

30
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, if you're trying to listen to us and

31
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't sound good and it's this transmitter issue, then

32
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:42.799
<v Speaker 2>I assume the stream will work fine. And you know,

33
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.280
<v Speaker 2>I when I listen to the radio, like the actual

34
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>radio and not a stream, like I'm usually doing that

35
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>in my vehicle, but it's very easy to do it

36
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.400
<v Speaker 2>when you're like when I've traveled and wanted to listen

37
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:55.799
<v Speaker 2>to Tony and Dwight or something like that, Like if

38
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.879
<v Speaker 2>I've got my phone plugged into my car, like all

39
00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.319
<v Speaker 2>i gotta do is pop open the app and there

40
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 2>it is. So you know, feel free to stream if

41
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 2>you are having issues with the old school radio dial

42
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 2>I say that mocking it, and I shouldn't do that

43
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>because you know, it is my profession, it's what I do.

44
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>But you know, when you say radio. I think people

45
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 2>just like the younger generation John like they did a

46
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 2>little radio like. Well, technically, if you're listening, even if

47
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 2>you listen to this podcast every day, you listen to

48
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 2>the KSR podcast every day, you're still listening to a

49
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.159
<v Speaker 2>radio product. It's just you're listening to it on podcast

50
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.000
<v Speaker 2>or you're listening to it on stream. And anybody out

51
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.039
<v Speaker 2>there trying to tell you that like radio's not a

52
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>thing anymore, they're liars because there are numbers, there's data

53
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.159
<v Speaker 2>that can confirm that that's not the case. And yes,

54
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.800
<v Speaker 2>am I biased, of course radio is my livelihood, but

55
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 2>I can't. I mean, I've been doing this for with

56
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 2>this company going on nine years, it'd be nine years

57
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:01.800
<v Speaker 2>in March. I've worked for iHeartMedia. But I've been in

58
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.439
<v Speaker 2>this world of at least having a radio platform in

59
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 2>some former fashion for over ten years now, in fact,

60
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:15.039
<v Speaker 2>about twelve thirteen years. And the technological evolution is not

61
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>really surprising because a lot of things have changed. And again,

62
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.039
<v Speaker 2>most people now when they watch TV, when they get

63
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 2>out there remote and they power something up, they're not

64
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.800
<v Speaker 2>doing it via television. They're doing it via the Internet.

65
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 2>So it's really not all that surprising. But just in

66
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:33.199
<v Speaker 2>my time in like in radio at this company, like

67
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 2>things have changed substantially. Let me give you an example.

68
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.599
<v Speaker 2>When we used to be partners with lear Field. The

69
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.840
<v Speaker 2>first time that they signed on that I worked here.

70
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 2>As far as our arrangement to where we were carrying

71
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 2>their games, they didn't want to include it streaming. They

72
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>just they you know, they didn't think, you know that

73
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:56.360
<v Speaker 2>they didn't believe that that property. I guess the stream

74
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.719
<v Speaker 2>was and I shouldn't get into the specifics with you know,

75
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 2>believe or not. I was not involve those conversations about

76
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 2>that that deal, but like they didn't realize. I think

77
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.159
<v Speaker 2>that if you don't include that, then like you're gonna

78
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 2>like miss out a lot a lot of people. If

79
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.479
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna listen, they're gonna have to stream it because

80
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 2>they are not within signal to actually pick it up.

81
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.920
<v Speaker 2>If you're on HAS, it's a different world because HAS

82
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 2>is one of the strongest signals you'll see in radio anywhere,

83
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 2>and I mean anywhere in the planet. And seven ninety

84
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, let's not sell this station short. This is

85
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.519
<v Speaker 2>the strongest signal you will find in this state for

86
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 2>a sports only station, and it's really not even close.

87
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Our only competition I think in that regard sports or

88
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 2>not would be ten eighty, which is no longer a

89
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.920
<v Speaker 2>sports So you know, when I listen when I'm in

90
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 2>my car, I'm listening on the old school radio. Like

91
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, I call it old school. Doesn't seem old school,

92
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.279
<v Speaker 2>but I know to some it is. But regardless of

93
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.079
<v Speaker 2>how you're listening, we appreciate it. Live podcast, whatever it

94
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.839
<v Speaker 2>may be. You know, the drill three to six every weekday,

95
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Monday through Friday, right here on Sports Talk seven ninety,

96
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 2>also available on the out Radio app and at seven

97
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.040
<v Speaker 2>ninety Louisville dot com. It is Coffee and Company, and

98
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.800
<v Speaker 2>we are fueled by Thornton's I'm also fueled by a

99
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 2>fresh cup of coffee. I may be a coffee guy now, John,

100
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 2>because that gave me the perfect boost.

101
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 3>You should be a coffee guy. I mean, it would

102
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 3>fit very well with the brand. What's your last name?

103
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 3>I should say?

104
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:23.439
<v Speaker 2>You know, my dad used to own a coffee shop.

105
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:24.079
<v Speaker 2>Did you know that.

106
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 3>I think you've mentioned that once or twice.

107
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, And I'm not sure if he decided to

108
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 2>leave that industry for this reason alone, but if he did,

109
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:34.759
<v Speaker 2>I would get it, but the amount of people who

110
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.800
<v Speaker 2>would be like, wait a second, your last name's coffee

111
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 2>and you own a coffee shop. Yeah, so you know,

112
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 2>but somebody this is I'm going to nerd out really

113
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.759
<v Speaker 2>quickly here because I'm trying to find a piece of

114
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>sound that I would be willing to bet the vast

115
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:57.160
<v Speaker 2>majority of people listening or would not be familiar with it.

116
00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 2>But there was somebody at one point who called in

117
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 2>the text line years ago and just left a really

118
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 2>creepy message. Because you used to be able to call

119
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the text line. I disabled that long ago because people

120
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 2>would just call the number, and if people are calling,

121
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be able to read it because it would

122
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>just show on the screen that a call's coming through.

123
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.360
<v Speaker 2>So I disabled calling. You could call and leave a

124
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:20.680
<v Speaker 2>voicemail and text line. And somebody at one point called

125
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:25.319
<v Speaker 2>in and left a really really creepy message that just

126
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.959
<v Speaker 2>said my name and it you know, let me play

127
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 2>it for you really quick. This is the voice of

128
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.120
<v Speaker 2>somebody that I think, like, if I ever end up

129
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.560
<v Speaker 2>dead or I go missing track, whose voice this is?

130
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Because it might be the person who took me out coffee.

131
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.279
<v Speaker 4>Coffee? Where are you coffe.

132
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:47.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, does that sound like a serial killer?

133
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:49.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, I mean.

134
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 2>So because I started talking about John preparing me a

135
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 2>nice cup of coffee today, somebody reminded me, hey, play

136
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:57.759
<v Speaker 2>that creepy coffee guy who called in.

137
00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:59.600
<v Speaker 3>I think we need it on the soundboard.

138
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Cof coffee, where are you cough off me?

139
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:10.959
<v Speaker 2>I think that came in whenever we were trying to

140
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.319
<v Speaker 2>get on the air one time at a remote we

141
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.439
<v Speaker 2>were having technical difficulties, which you know, in all honesty,

142
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:19.279
<v Speaker 2>we rarely have on the I mean like we rarely

143
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.360
<v Speaker 2>have issues as far as connectivity. It happens, It happens

144
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>to anybody. But like we've had a good run here.

145
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Now we're having some transmitter issues, which really is totally

146
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.560
<v Speaker 2>out of our I mean totally out of our control.

147
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.480
<v Speaker 2>In fact, it's out of the people's control who work here.

148
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 2>It's a tower thing. So anyways, we were having trouble

149
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:38.639
<v Speaker 2>getting on the air. I think it might have been

150
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:40.519
<v Speaker 2>in a golf course one time, and I ended up

151
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:42.879
<v Speaker 2>having to like call in and do the show via phone.

152
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.319
<v Speaker 2>And while while this psychopath was impatiently waiting for the

153
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:47.399
<v Speaker 2>show to start.

154
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:53.600
<v Speaker 4>This coffee coffee where are you cough off me?

155
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:56.480
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty creepy, is it not?

156
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 3>It's very creepy.

157
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.160
<v Speaker 2>I hope that person still listening. Actually, maybe I shouldn't

158
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:06.160
<v Speaker 2>hope that. Maybe hopefully they've found somebody else to potentially,

159
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, chop up into little.

160
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:10.560
<v Speaker 3>Pieces of not far from Halloween and there's people putting

161
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:13.000
<v Speaker 3>up Halloween decorations like out the ass.

162
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, have you seen like something this made the news?

163
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.120
<v Speaker 2>And the last time I questioned, something that made local

164
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.560
<v Speaker 2>news ended up becoming a national story. You see, the

165
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:25.040
<v Speaker 2>porch pooper made TMZ. No, yeah, mat porch poopers made TMZ.

166
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.680
<v Speaker 2>But that came up last week and I'm like, why

167
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>is that on the news, Like, yeah, it's not normal

168
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 2>that somebody went and took a dump on somebody's porch,

169
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 2>but like that's local news. Sure enough, whoever was the

170
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.679
<v Speaker 2>reporter that that found the story worthy, they knew something,

171
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.240
<v Speaker 2>because again it's now on tmz. Is this porch pooper

172
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.039
<v Speaker 2>just he's he's got it out for this one house.

173
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.679
<v Speaker 2>You know, you can set traps, you can have your

174
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:52.039
<v Speaker 2>your you put your kiddy litter out, like the guy

175
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.120
<v Speaker 2>who lives there said he did. That guy's gonna find

176
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:55.519
<v Speaker 2>a way to come and take a dump on your

177
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.240
<v Speaker 2>porch and not be caught. He's done it. He's done

178
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.559
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good job at it. Well, well, now I

179
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.559
<v Speaker 2>see that there's a story in the local news. It

180
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.320
<v Speaker 2>might have been on WDRB about somebody put up all

181
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.080
<v Speaker 2>their Halloween decorations and like the neighborhood's mad at them,

182
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Like come on, I mean, Halloween's still a ways away.

183
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:15.320
<v Speaker 2>We got two months roughly, but like, I mean, what's

184
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 2>wrong with that.

185
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.320
<v Speaker 3>There's a street in Mount Washington. I don't know that

186
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.879
<v Speaker 3>it's part of any specific neighborhood, but their front yard

187
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:23.960
<v Speaker 3>they have like a big black gate and they have

188
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:29.120
<v Speaker 3>like humanoid looking pumpkin figures that tower over the entire yard,

189
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.720
<v Speaker 3>and it is one of the most I guess to

190
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 3>be I guess it's a pun haunting things you can

191
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.519
<v Speaker 3>ever see. But if you're ever out in Mount Washington,

192
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:39.679
<v Speaker 3>or if you live out there, you probably know what

193
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm talking about.

194
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:45.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting bombarded by texts about is the transmitter going

195
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.679
<v Speaker 2>on about our sound problem, which if people could hear

196
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.279
<v Speaker 2>the station, they could hear me saying that I'm aware,

197
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.720
<v Speaker 2>But again, like it's I don't know, it's been a

198
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.120
<v Speaker 2>long time since I've been in this position. It has

199
00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.799
<v Speaker 2>been a while, meaning where we're aware. The people who

200
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.399
<v Speaker 2>listen don't know that we're aware, and they're just trying

201
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.799
<v Speaker 2>to help because they just want us to know. But

202
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.519
<v Speaker 2>like we know, it's just you know, it's out of

203
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:10.480
<v Speaker 2>our control right now.

204
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:12.519
<v Speaker 3>I think the last time it happened really bad, you

205
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:14.080
<v Speaker 3>told me to say a bad word on the radio,

206
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:15.080
<v Speaker 3>You're like, say a cuss word.

207
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:16.879
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, we weren't even on the air where we

208
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:18.879
<v Speaker 2>might have been. We were only on street. No, that's

209
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.679
<v Speaker 2>what it was we were. I forgot about that. We

210
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 2>were only on stream, which on stream you could say

211
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.600
<v Speaker 2>whatever you want. Yes, because they don't have any control

212
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:28.600
<v Speaker 2>us exactly, which I'm not, like I'm not really sure that,

213
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.159
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm not sure the FCC you don't want to

214
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:32.720
<v Speaker 2>risk it, but like I know a lot of people

215
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:36.279
<v Speaker 2>who don't really follow that. In fact, there's like if

216
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:40.039
<v Speaker 2>you ever really when we do those trainings that take place,

217
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.919
<v Speaker 2>the FCC training that we have to do like every

218
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.080
<v Speaker 2>six months or whatnot. Yeah, I have no problem admitting it,

219
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.399
<v Speaker 2>Like I just roll through it, like I don't you know,

220
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:56.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm yeah, I know what I can and

221
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:59.320
<v Speaker 2>can't do. And if I have a question, if if

222
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:01.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm on the fan, I tend to just not do

223
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 2>it because I don't want to. I'm not somebody that

224
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.679
<v Speaker 2>has the leverage of others, right, Like I can't just

225
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, commit a big FCC violation and just assume

226
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.639
<v Speaker 2>that they're gonna not cut bait with me. There's a

227
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Speaker 2>couple of others around here that could probably get away

228
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.000
<v Speaker 2>with that, not me, And if so, I wouldn't ever

229
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.840
<v Speaker 2>want to risk it anyway. But there's certain things you

230
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.639
<v Speaker 2>can't do when it comes to like like helping your

231
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.679
<v Speaker 2>friends out, if that makes sense, Like it's not it's

232
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.879
<v Speaker 2>not like I shouldn't say legal because I'm not sure

233
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:28.840
<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna go to jail. You're not breaking a law.

234
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:31.879
<v Speaker 2>But when it comes to like FCC like things you

235
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.240
<v Speaker 2>have to do, Like there's a lot of people who

236
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.679
<v Speaker 2>who use the platform to get free stuff, if that

237
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.200
<v Speaker 2>makes sense, and like technically you're not supposed to do that,

238
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:46.919
<v Speaker 2>Like but this thing called pola, I'm telling you, man,

239
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the FCC is like the NCAA. I think with with

240
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:56.840
<v Speaker 2>like like with streaming becomes becoming such a thing, like

241
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.480
<v Speaker 2>people just are like not really worried about because they've

242
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.759
<v Speaker 2>never truly been able to monitor it, monitor it the

243
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:04.720
<v Speaker 2>way that like they probably want you to think that

244
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:07.200
<v Speaker 2>they do. And it's always been like a good faith thing,

245
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>like you better make sure you don't do this. But

246
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.399
<v Speaker 2>like before then there was somebody was recording it on

247
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.519
<v Speaker 2>a tape. There was no stream, so like people could

248
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:16.960
<v Speaker 2>claim you said this or that, but if there's no

249
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:18.200
<v Speaker 2>proof of it, there's no proof of it, you know

250
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:21.399
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. So it was probably just a honor

251
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.039
<v Speaker 2>system kind of thing. And now like people are probably

252
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:25.799
<v Speaker 2>getting away with things they probably we would never because

253
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 2>we wouldn't. We're not We're a company that would never

254
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:27.960
<v Speaker 2>do that.

255
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:29.840
<v Speaker 3>If you pull, if you ever, if anyone ever pulls

256
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:32.279
<v Speaker 3>like the Bob Huggins interview, like that's the kind of

257
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.320
<v Speaker 3>stuff that will get you in trouble. Nowadays, it's because

258
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.080
<v Speaker 3>people will people will record that or find it on podcasts.

259
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:40.200
<v Speaker 2>And that's the thing that got dumped on the radio

260
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:43.799
<v Speaker 2>did not get dumped on a stream, and somebody, you know,

261
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.080
<v Speaker 2>And that's that's another thing that this is. And I'm

262
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.320
<v Speaker 2>nerding out too much on radio stuff right now, as

263
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:50.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know who can actually hear us because

264
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:57.039
<v Speaker 2>of our transmitter issue. But they're like, you don't want

265
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.399
<v Speaker 2>to have an at like right now. iHeart does not

266
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.919
<v Speaker 2>give the ability to pause live radio, you know what

267
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:04.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, yeah and go back. Other apps do that,

268
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.960
<v Speaker 2>like give you like there's a there's a company that

269
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.039
<v Speaker 2>will let you create your own like we have. I

270
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:12.799
<v Speaker 2>mean iHeart as a company created streaming radio, Like that's

271
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:14.960
<v Speaker 2>why iHeart used to be the company used to be

272
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:19.639
<v Speaker 2>called Clear Channel Communications. When iHeart became the app to

273
00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:22.279
<v Speaker 2>where we streamed our radio, it just we could clearly

274
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.360
<v Speaker 2>tell that that's where things were headed. So we rebranded

275
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:28.360
<v Speaker 2>as a company to become iHeartMedia. So there's other companies

276
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.240
<v Speaker 2>out there that have I guess, a similar app, and

277
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.600
<v Speaker 2>there's other companies that will let you use their service

278
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:36.600
<v Speaker 2>and you can create your own app for your own station.

279
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.279
<v Speaker 2>We don't need that here because we're iHeart. We're under

280
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:42.720
<v Speaker 2>the humongous app that is iHeart Radio. And there are

281
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.360
<v Speaker 2>stations that are not iHeart, stations that pay iHeart a

282
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of money actually for their station to be on iHeart.

283
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.240
<v Speaker 2>But having the ability to back it up can only

284
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.960
<v Speaker 2>hurt you, Like people can pause it or just rewind it.

285
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:56.720
<v Speaker 2>And I know listeners are like, wait a second, I

286
00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:58.159
<v Speaker 2>wanted to get out of my car and go in

287
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:00.679
<v Speaker 2>and hit pause. Well I get it, but like from

288
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.840
<v Speaker 2>a cover your own ass standpoint, you should not do that,

289
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:07.080
<v Speaker 2>because you could. You could cover your ass a little

290
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:08.799
<v Speaker 2>bit better if people don't have the ability to back

291
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:11.679
<v Speaker 2>it up and put it out there. But anyways, it's

292
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.879
<v Speaker 2>five point fifteen and I don't know who can hear

293
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.200
<v Speaker 2>us because of our transmitter issue, But if you're with us,

294
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.399
<v Speaker 2>that means you wanted to be with us. You either

295
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:21.440
<v Speaker 2>are listening on stream or you left the traditional radio

296
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.960
<v Speaker 2>dial on seven ninety am to find us on streams.

297
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.399
<v Speaker 2>So I feel like we are with an exclusive group

298
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.759
<v Speaker 2>right now, a special group of listeners that are all in.

299
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.679
<v Speaker 2>They're company men like us, John, they are.

300
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.279
<v Speaker 3>And the podcast listeners who listen, you know, whenever, whatever

301
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.360
<v Speaker 3>time of day it may be, they're in their own

302
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.720
<v Speaker 3>little world just watching or listening to us react to

303
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:41.639
<v Speaker 3>all this in real time.

304
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:44.399
<v Speaker 2>I love the podcast listeners in a major way, and

305
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:46.240
<v Speaker 2>I haven't done a deep dive on it in a while,

306
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.080
<v Speaker 2>but I love If I'm ever feeling really insecure as

307
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.399
<v Speaker 2>in my career. I'll go pull podcast numbers and be like,

308
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.639
<v Speaker 2>can you believe there's thirteen hundred people last week in

309
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.240
<v Speaker 2>the state of Georgia that down loaded this show And

310
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm making up a number, making up a place. But like,

311
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, that makes me feel good because you never know,

312
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:07.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, in radio, you really don't know how many

313
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:10.399
<v Speaker 2>are listening in real time because you can gauge live

314
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:13.399
<v Speaker 2>listenership be extreme. You can't gauge live listenership be the

315
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:17.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, radio dial. But podcast listeners always kind of

316
00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.039
<v Speaker 2>feel like they don't get the fair you know, like

317
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.440
<v Speaker 2>they don't get the music. You know, they don't get

318
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:24.480
<v Speaker 2>it live, but they choose to be podcast listeners. Some

319
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.240
<v Speaker 2>of them you know, wouldn't have the ability to listen live.

320
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.080
<v Speaker 2>But just know, like you didn't get interrupted, like the

321
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:34.639
<v Speaker 2>live listeners. Podcast guys like and girls like you weren't interrupted.

322
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:36.919
<v Speaker 2>You got you got the whole thing here Johnson recording

323
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:39.919
<v Speaker 2>this thing from the beginning, never never need, never needing

324
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:40.720
<v Speaker 2>a transmitter right.

325
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:44.159
<v Speaker 3>Fun fact, today is the first time in a long time.

326
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Don't you tell me you're not recording.

327
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm recording. I'm recording the show. But you're gonna say No,

328
00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:50.480
<v Speaker 3>that would have been terrible. That would have been very

329
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.279
<v Speaker 3>terrible timing. Yes, but I forgot to record at the beginning,

330
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.360
<v Speaker 3>so the first maybe ninety seconds are not on the recording.

331
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.600
<v Speaker 2>But it'll be there eventually, right, Like, we can pull

332
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:02.240
<v Speaker 2>it as long.

333
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:04.399
<v Speaker 3>As I mean, unless the transmitter was not working.

334
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:06.759
<v Speaker 2>But you can pick streaming though when you go to

335
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.320
<v Speaker 2>the actually you probably they're probably what's what's the last

336
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:13.600
<v Speaker 2>time you pulled the podcast from the way that laylight

337
00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:16.000
<v Speaker 2>teach you because you've mastered a way to do it

338
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.240
<v Speaker 2>without right very long time, so you can you can

339
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.399
<v Speaker 2>pick streaming, yes, as the pool so if you know,

340
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:23.240
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think we had that issue earlier, we

341
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:28.440
<v Speaker 2>would have known, but you know, anyways, hopefully, hopefully they

342
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:30.919
<v Speaker 2>get it fixed. I've been sent a text from our

343
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:32.720
<v Speaker 2>boss that says they're working on it, So you know

344
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.600
<v Speaker 2>what that means. They're working on it.

345
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.320
<v Speaker 3>That means somebody's up there. They climb the tower, they've

346
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.679
<v Speaker 3>got their hammer, they've got their tool box, whatever it

347
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:42.679
<v Speaker 3>may be, and they're going to try to knock that

348
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.200
<v Speaker 3>thing back into place. Whatever the heck. That looks like.

349
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:49.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm already having like scary thoughts about like I'm not

350
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:50.320
<v Speaker 2>going to say it on the air.

351
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:51.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't even know what you're gonna say.

352
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:55.159
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you during the break, and then you, because

353
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:58.360
<v Speaker 2>you are the more mature, responsible person who is ten

354
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:02.039
<v Speaker 2>years younger than me, you'll decide if it's something I

355
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:02.919
<v Speaker 2>should say on the air.

356
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:05.400
<v Speaker 3>It's up to me.

357
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:08.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, well, well, no, I won't. I won't put

358
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.519
<v Speaker 2>it in your hands because that was all my thoughts. Yeah,

359
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:15.440
<v Speaker 2>it'll make the final decision because like, well, it'll just

360
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:17.440
<v Speaker 2>be a conversation Breas, because it's something you and I

361
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.559
<v Speaker 2>both would probably get a laugh out of, but it

362
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:21.920
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't benefit a single person if we said it on the.

363
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.960
<v Speaker 3>Show, So I think earlier wanting to go down, we'll

364
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:25.359
<v Speaker 3>save that.

365
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.440
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, tonight is the debut of the twenty twenty

366
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.160
<v Speaker 2>four NFL season, and that has me excited the Ravens

367
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:36.720
<v Speaker 2>and the Chiefs some I'm obviously all in on the Ravens,

368
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 2>but just for Lamar Jackson, I started the show kind

369
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:43.559
<v Speaker 2>of letting you guys know that I've had to I've

370
00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:47.720
<v Speaker 2>had to just accept the fact that, like I'm sensitive

371
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.440
<v Speaker 2>not to Lamar criticism because that's never going to change.

372
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.079
<v Speaker 2>And I've known that, and I think Louisville fans at

373
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:58.000
<v Speaker 2>times when it comes to Lamar criticism have been overly sensitive.

374
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I understand why, but it's okay to say Lamar had

375
00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:04.599
<v Speaker 2>a bad game or Lamar made a bad decision, Like

376
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I have no problem It's worked out for him. I

377
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:09.440
<v Speaker 2>still think that, no doubt about it. He did not

378
00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:12.599
<v Speaker 2>help himself by never having an agent again, That's just

379
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.400
<v Speaker 2>my honest opinion. Clearly, he's got a great contract now

380
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.839
<v Speaker 2>and he's doing well. But like Lamar, criticism's fine. But

381
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.519
<v Speaker 2>what I think as a Lamar fanatic, a guy who

382
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:24.799
<v Speaker 2>I remember interviewing Lamar when he got to Louisville, I

383
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:27.960
<v Speaker 2>remember interviewing Lamar Jackson right after he played against Auburn

384
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:30.359
<v Speaker 2>in his first game, and to see what he's done

385
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.119
<v Speaker 2>now in his career, like I mean, it's something special,

386
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:34.599
<v Speaker 2>like to be able to say that I was able to,

387
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:36.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, and I'm one of many, but like to

388
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:40.359
<v Speaker 2>see his career at Louisville play out the way that

389
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.640
<v Speaker 2>he did and him have this. I've not obviously covered

390
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:46.119
<v Speaker 2>his NFL career up close and personal in Baltimore, although

391
00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:47.920
<v Speaker 2>if you remember, they brought Rick coffee on the aras

392
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:51.759
<v Speaker 2>in Baltimore one time, talk about Lamar, remember that John Yeah,

393
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:55.839
<v Speaker 2>Rick Coffee was brought into to be the guy to

394
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.640
<v Speaker 2>give you some analysis on Lamar's college career. But nonetheless,

395
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:03.440
<v Speaker 2>like the desperation that I feel like that I have

396
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:07.839
<v Speaker 2>at times for people giving Lamar his proper due, Like

397
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:09.839
<v Speaker 2>that's just foolish of me to think that's ever gonna happen,

398
00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:13.119
<v Speaker 2>because Lamar as a as a as an athlete has

399
00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:15.480
<v Speaker 2>accomplished so much that he's in the tier that no

400
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:19.200
<v Speaker 2>matter what, he's gonna be criticized. He's going to be

401
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:23.680
<v Speaker 2>even if he played perfect tonight and they lost, there'll

402
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:26.160
<v Speaker 2>be somebody with a platform much bigger than the one

403
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:30.279
<v Speaker 2>I have that is going to be yappin' about Lamar

404
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:32.799
<v Speaker 2>not being able to win the big one, Lamar not

405
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:36.039
<v Speaker 2>being able to get past Patrick Mahomes and it be

406
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:39.279
<v Speaker 2>because of his leadership or something like that, and I

407
00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:40.839
<v Speaker 2>just you know, I just got I just got to

408
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:45.000
<v Speaker 2>accept that. I mean, but I've never been a fan

409
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.480
<v Speaker 2>in this way because with Lamar it's different. Like I'm

410
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:49.359
<v Speaker 2>not a Ravens fan.

411
00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:50.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't.

412
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, in fact, I used to hate the Ravens

413
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:55.279
<v Speaker 2>and now I just root for them because I know

414
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:57.240
<v Speaker 2>that if they want it looks good on Lamar, especially

415
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.880
<v Speaker 2>if he had a big role in it. So you know,

416
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:04.240
<v Speaker 2>it's just this is the first time for me as

417
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:08.119
<v Speaker 2>far as just being all in for the success of

418
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:10.599
<v Speaker 2>a team. But it's only due to one guy. But

419
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:14.799
<v Speaker 2>yet he's got two MVP trophies. He lost last year

420
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:17.000
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, who,

421
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:19.160
<v Speaker 2>by the way, I think everybody's going to lose two

422
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:22.000
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs the next I mean, like, clearly the

423
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Bengals got past them and made to the Super Bowl.

424
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:26.720
<v Speaker 2>And it's not to say they're invincible and they can't

425
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.519
<v Speaker 2>be beaten, but it's not easy to do. And you

426
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I just would hate for Lamar to continue

427
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:39.319
<v Speaker 2>to play elite football, have really good regular seasons, put

428
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:42.119
<v Speaker 2>the Ravens in a great position to have, you know,

429
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:44.319
<v Speaker 2>even home field advantage in the playoffs like they had

430
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:49.319
<v Speaker 2>last year, only for their window to win big clothes

431
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:52.640
<v Speaker 2>and there not be that monumental moment of even making

432
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.279
<v Speaker 2>a super Bowl because Mahomes and the Chiefs were in

433
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.039
<v Speaker 2>the way. I can totally see that happening, and I

434
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.160
<v Speaker 2>hate that. But there's nothing you can do about it, and

435
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:06.640
<v Speaker 2>it won't change how great Lamar is. It won't change

436
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:09.799
<v Speaker 2>how people should view him as a player. But when

437
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:13.799
<v Speaker 2>it comes to down the line, how you're viewed your legacy,

438
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:16.240
<v Speaker 2>especially at this level, Like there's a lot of really

439
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:19.440
<v Speaker 2>good players that have never won a Super Bowl that

440
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.240
<v Speaker 2>people would reflect on their NFL career and say, man,

441
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:25.079
<v Speaker 2>that guy was good, he was special. Love that guy

442
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:28.880
<v Speaker 2>was he was elite. But with Lamar, you've got the

443
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:33.720
<v Speaker 2>individual accomplishments, you've generated buzz, You've been voted by your

444
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:36.480
<v Speaker 2>peers at one point as the best player in the league.

445
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:40.839
<v Speaker 2>So with all that said, the only thing for people

446
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:42.680
<v Speaker 2>to add to that is a super Bowl and it

447
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:46.680
<v Speaker 2>may not come. And if it doesn't, when people and

448
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I fear that when people do bring him up, there'll

449
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:51.039
<v Speaker 2>be many that still just cling to the fact that

450
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:52.799
<v Speaker 2>he didn't win a super Bowl. And again, he's young,

451
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:55.039
<v Speaker 2>He's not I mean, he's not young young, but he's

452
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:57.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think the window for Lamar is still

453
00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:01.440
<v Speaker 2>still there's a long time. In fact, who knows, maybe

454
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:05.880
<v Speaker 2>if the Ravens their window closes because of other areas

455
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:07.759
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to personnel, maybe you know he ends

456
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.720
<v Speaker 2>up elsewhere and has success, who knows, but I want

457
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:13.839
<v Speaker 2>it so bad for him tonight. But again, like I

458
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:17.440
<v Speaker 2>have to just accept the fact that even if he

459
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:19.720
<v Speaker 2>does win big tonight, there'll be people, because of just

460
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:22.160
<v Speaker 2>how this works, that will claim, yeat, this doesn't matter

461
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:23.839
<v Speaker 2>this first game of the season. Just wait until they

462
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:26.480
<v Speaker 2>see the Chiefs in the playoffs, and that won't even

463
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:29.079
<v Speaker 2>be That's not even a crazy take. It's just like,

464
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:31.359
<v Speaker 2>it's how this is. But I'm you know, I used

465
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:33.400
<v Speaker 2>to tell people all the time, don't be so defensive

466
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:35.680
<v Speaker 2>of Lamar. He's always going to have people that want

467
00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:37.240
<v Speaker 2>to say they were right about him not being able

468
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:38.720
<v Speaker 2>to be a quarterback in the NFL. But it's not

469
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:40.960
<v Speaker 2>that anymore. That's what I really tried to expand on

470
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:44.160
<v Speaker 2>in the first segment today. Anybody claiming that they were

471
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:46.839
<v Speaker 2>right about Lamar not being able to be a quarterback

472
00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:49.680
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL, if they're still claiming that, they're a

473
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:54.839
<v Speaker 2>certified dumbass. But they'll probably they're probably the same people

474
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:57.839
<v Speaker 2>that want to discredit the accomplishments that he's had. And

475
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.279
<v Speaker 2>I just, you know, I would hate for him to

476
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:02.519
<v Speaker 2>never get that. I would hate for him to never

477
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:05.279
<v Speaker 2>be able to silence them and put them in their place.

478
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:07.519
<v Speaker 2>But again, what I've got to accept is that he's

479
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.079
<v Speaker 2>reached a level to where there's always going to be critics.

480
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:12.000
<v Speaker 2>There's always going to be people that want to downplay

481
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.319
<v Speaker 2>what he did, not because they're just out to get lamar,

482
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:16.480
<v Speaker 2>but because that's how this works at the highest level

483
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.319
<v Speaker 2>of professional sports. No matter if if you're claimed the goat,

484
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:22.440
<v Speaker 2>there's gonna be somebody positioned on a roundtable show on

485
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:25.119
<v Speaker 2>the Four Letter Network that their job is to downplay

486
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:28.839
<v Speaker 2>the person who's claiming that that that that is the goati.

487
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Quick break, we'll come back on the other side. It's

488
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Coffee and Company. Feel about thorns right here on Sports

489
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Talk seven ninety Coffee, I played the wrong line, or

490
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:43.559
<v Speaker 2>but it's okay, let's just play that again. That this

491
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.319
<v Speaker 2>is going to be the rejoin moving forward.

492
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:52.079
<v Speaker 4>Coffee, Coffee, where are you off?

493
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:56.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm here, I'm here. But we may have a transmitter

494
00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:58.680
<v Speaker 2>issue that is causing some difficulties for you to listen

495
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:02.720
<v Speaker 2>to us in crystal clear quality like you are accustomed to,

496
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:05.720
<v Speaker 2>due to again, issues outside our control. They say a

497
00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:09.640
<v Speaker 2>transmitter is an issue and phone lines have been lit,

498
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:12.079
<v Speaker 2>which I assume as people probably letting us know that

499
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:15.359
<v Speaker 2>this is going on, and we're aware, we're working on it,

500
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:17.000
<v Speaker 2>and I know we're going to get it fixed soon,

501
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:19.240
<v Speaker 2>so bear with us. If you can hear this at

502
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:21.160
<v Speaker 2>all and you want to listen, you can listen live

503
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:24.680
<v Speaker 2>on the iHeartRadio app as well as seven ninety Louisville

504
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:27.440
<v Speaker 2>dot com And from what I can tell, you'll be

505
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:31.359
<v Speaker 2>able to hear in you know, without an issue. It'll sound,

506
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:34.759
<v Speaker 2>it'll sound crystal clear, that digital quality that is that

507
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:37.200
<v Speaker 2>is the stream, all right. Not a lot of time

508
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:39.319
<v Speaker 2>left here, real quick. Some news that I think is

509
00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:41.319
<v Speaker 2>worth sharing with you guys, especially if you're interested in

510
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.119
<v Speaker 2>conference realignment. The Big Twelve has decided to hit pause

511
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:48.839
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to discussions of adding Yukon, which, if

512
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:51.119
<v Speaker 2>you're a Yukon fan, this has to make you feel good,

513
00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:54.880
<v Speaker 2>but you're also in a tough spot because Yukon being

514
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.720
<v Speaker 2>added to the Big Twelve but in every sport outside

515
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:04.640
<v Speaker 2>of foot football made no sense. But here's the actual

516
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:08.359
<v Speaker 2>reason as to why they would do that, and it

517
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:13.000
<v Speaker 2>makes total sense. Yukon, just like every other school, is

518
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:14.759
<v Speaker 2>about to start having to pay up to twenty three

519
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:18.640
<v Speaker 2>million dollars annually for student athletes. The Big East deal

520
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.519
<v Speaker 2>does not give them as much money to do that,

521
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:26.119
<v Speaker 2>so it would clearly be a money move. But then

522
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:27.640
<v Speaker 2>if you're the Big Twelve, why are you gonna add

523
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.200
<v Speaker 2>him and everything? So it just doesn't make sense. It

524
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.759
<v Speaker 2>sounds like there were some TV partners that told Brett

525
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Yormack that they don't see Yukon is a fit that

526
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:38.759
<v Speaker 2>makes a lot of sense right now, and it sounds

527
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:40.880
<v Speaker 2>like a lot of Big Twelve members didn't want to

528
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:43.960
<v Speaker 2>see that move made either. So selfishly as a Yukon fan,

529
00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:45.160
<v Speaker 2>like you want to be in the Big East. And

530
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:47.359
<v Speaker 2>I give Yukon a lot of credit. I've always said this.

531
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:54.480
<v Speaker 2>They knew who they were. They understand that their fan base,

532
00:25:55.279 --> 00:26:00.960
<v Speaker 2>their constituents, the people who matter, right, customers, basketball matters

533
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.079
<v Speaker 2>more than anything. Geno Arima has built a dynasty. I

534
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:06.920
<v Speaker 2>mean I know that that now they're kind of second

535
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:09.079
<v Speaker 2>tier compared to what's been going on with the likes

536
00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:11.400
<v Speaker 2>of South Carolina and Don Staley. But make no mistake

537
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:13.559
<v Speaker 2>about it, Gino Arima in the run that Yukon women's

538
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:15.920
<v Speaker 2>basketball has had and still currently has, they played in

539
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the Final four this year once again, you'll never see

540
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:21.000
<v Speaker 2>it again. It doesn't. It's not first, second, third, probably

541
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:23.119
<v Speaker 2>fourth or maybe even fifth. That comes to mind for

542
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.359
<v Speaker 2>folks when you talk about the all time unbelievable dynasties,

543
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:28.799
<v Speaker 2>make no mistake about it. With Geno, Rim has done

544
00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:32.400
<v Speaker 2>a Yukon's women's basketball is unbelievable, and you won't find

545
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:35.319
<v Speaker 2>a program in the last what twenty five years. It

546
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:38.240
<v Speaker 2>has more championships now than Yukon and men's basketball, and

547
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:40.920
<v Speaker 2>they've won back to back, so you know, and they

548
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:42.839
<v Speaker 2>didn't know that at this time. But when they decided

549
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:46.200
<v Speaker 2>to say no, this isn't us. We know football matters,

550
00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:48.920
<v Speaker 2>we know football is the potential money maker, but we

551
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:50.680
<v Speaker 2>know who we are. We're looking in the mirror and

552
00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:55.160
<v Speaker 2>we realize we are really damaging the brand of our

553
00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:59.400
<v Speaker 2>university and our athletic department by catering specifically to football.

554
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.920
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna leave the American and let football be independent

555
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to go to the Big East because

556
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:07.920
<v Speaker 2>that's where we belong. That is who we are now.

557
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:10.039
<v Speaker 2>They didn't scrap their football program, they just now have

558
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:13.599
<v Speaker 2>them as an independent school and that cannot be sustainable

559
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:15.599
<v Speaker 2>from a financial standpoint now, I mean, I mean, it

560
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.039
<v Speaker 2>just can't be. So I give them a lot of

561
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:20.079
<v Speaker 2>credit when they did that because they understood, like, hey,

562
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:22.319
<v Speaker 2>we're not We understand football matters, but we're not a

563
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:25.039
<v Speaker 2>football school. We never will be, and we have the

564
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:27.440
<v Speaker 2>best chance of succeeding in all these other sports if

565
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:29.000
<v Speaker 2>we get back to our roots and we become a

566
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:31.119
<v Speaker 2>Big East program once again, which is what they've done

567
00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:36.200
<v Speaker 2>and it has worked sore now. But now money is

568
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:40.440
<v Speaker 2>is you know, before this new settlement with the with

569
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:43.839
<v Speaker 2>the you know, the lawsuit essentially where the n DOUAA

570
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:45.200
<v Speaker 2>is going to have to pay back a bunch of

571
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.000
<v Speaker 2>money and these universities are now going to have to

572
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:50.160
<v Speaker 2>pay you are going to be allowed to pay up

573
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:53.920
<v Speaker 2>the twenty three million annually for student athletes. Like you

574
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:55.680
<v Speaker 2>got to do everything you can to make sure you

575
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:58.720
<v Speaker 2>got as much money coming in as possible, and if

576
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:01.920
<v Speaker 2>a potential move to another conference is what gives you

577
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:03.839
<v Speaker 2>more money, that's what you're gonna do. Now, it doesn't

578
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:06.680
<v Speaker 2>sound like it was Yukon's called Yukon realized. I mean Yukon, well,

579
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I think wanted to go to the Big twelve. However,

580
00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:11.160
<v Speaker 2>they told them you are not even close to being

581
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:14.079
<v Speaker 2>able to get join this conference with football when it

582
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:16.960
<v Speaker 2>comes to your infrastructure, But in basketball, I'm sure they

583
00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:19.359
<v Speaker 2>would have loved to have had them. So there was

584
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:21.480
<v Speaker 2>some talk about Yukon bailing on the Big East to

585
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:23.240
<v Speaker 2>go to the Big Twelve. It sounds like that's been

586
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:28.000
<v Speaker 2>shot down, which again I think is you know, it's

587
00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:31.480
<v Speaker 2>probably got to make Yukon fans happy for the time being.

588
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:34.359
<v Speaker 2>But don't be shocked if you see your league try

589
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:35.920
<v Speaker 2>to if you see your school try to get to

590
00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:37.799
<v Speaker 2>one of the other leagues at some point, because again,

591
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:41.720
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna need a bigger revenue share from your annual

592
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:44.000
<v Speaker 2>media rights than what the Big East gives you just

593
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:47.000
<v Speaker 2>for basketball. Speaking of all that, when it comes to

594
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:50.200
<v Speaker 2>the money that schools are gonna be and I got

595
00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:52.000
<v Speaker 2>to figure out the best way to describe this, because

596
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:54.279
<v Speaker 2>schools are not going to be required to pay a dime,

597
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:57.640
<v Speaker 2>but if you want to compete at the highest level

598
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:01.279
<v Speaker 2>of college athletics, you're going to have to be pro

599
00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:04.960
<v Speaker 2>paying players, meaning you're going to pay up to the

600
00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:07.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty three million that you're allowed to pay, because that's

601
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:10.599
<v Speaker 2>the way it's going to be set up is that

602
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:12.680
<v Speaker 2>you're not required to, but you can pay up to

603
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:17.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty three million per year for ten years, meaning you know,

604
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:20.839
<v Speaker 2>twenty three million annually for a total of ten years.

605
00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:23.279
<v Speaker 2>And the reality is this, there's a lot of schools

606
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:25.559
<v Speaker 2>that simply cannot do that right Like, they don't have

607
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:32.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not realistic, it's not possible. So this actually could

608
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:37.480
<v Speaker 2>be where you see the highest level of college athletics

609
00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:43.880
<v Speaker 2>distance itself officially and become professional sports, just in a

610
00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:47.279
<v Speaker 2>different way, and then the lower level just becomes I

611
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:49.720
<v Speaker 2>guess what you call. I mean, it's not really going

612
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:51.400
<v Speaker 2>to be amateurism because you're still gonna be able to

613
00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:54.400
<v Speaker 2>make money. But I'm reading here from a great write

614
00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:56.880
<v Speaker 2>up by Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports, who joins us

615
00:29:56.880 --> 00:29:58.839
<v Speaker 2>on the show from time to time. The headline here

616
00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:02.319
<v Speaker 2>says is college athletics pairs for revenue sharing fallout leaders

617
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:06.519
<v Speaker 2>wonder is a breakaway from the NCAA next, And I

618
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:09.720
<v Speaker 2>mean I think it is. Again reading here directly from

619
00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:13.200
<v Speaker 2>cbssports dot com, it says the big breakaway now seems

620
00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:15.319
<v Speaker 2>to be right around the corner. It's been hinted at,

621
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.920
<v Speaker 2>speculated and discussed for years. A growing possibility of some

622
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:22.160
<v Speaker 2>combination of the power conferences detaching themselves from the current

623
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:25.359
<v Speaker 2>INSTAA structure. The concept has never been more likely. On

624
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Thursday ninth, District Judge Claudia Wilkin is expected to give

625
00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:31.799
<v Speaker 2>preliminary approval to the House be NCAA settlement. Among the

626
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:36.200
<v Speaker 2>conditions is a trench of revenue sharing money that will

627
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:41.039
<v Speaker 2>change college athletics significantly in this already dizzying age. So

628
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:43.920
<v Speaker 2>it says here schools will be given the option of

629
00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:47.640
<v Speaker 2>funding up to twenty two percent of their annual revenue,

630
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:51.319
<v Speaker 2>an average of about twenty three million dollars per school

631
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:55.200
<v Speaker 2>that's going to be set aside annually for athletes for

632
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:59.039
<v Speaker 2>the next ten years, beginning next year. So you know

633
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:02.880
<v Speaker 2>technically what this says. It's true pay for play with conditions.

634
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:06.799
<v Speaker 2>So if the separate again reading directly from Dennis Dodd's

635
00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:10.079
<v Speaker 2>piece at CBS Sports, if the separation of FBS is eminent,

636
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:13.599
<v Speaker 2>the mechanisms are definitely in place. The power for are

637
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:17.119
<v Speaker 2>already likely to form their own governance structure within the

638
00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:20.480
<v Speaker 2>nc DOUBLEA. How far that authority goes is up for debates.

639
00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:23.319
<v Speaker 2>So again, there are now people behind the scenes within

640
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:26.640
<v Speaker 2>these universities that are not power for, or maybe they

641
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.039
<v Speaker 2>are power for, but not the power to that are

642
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:33.119
<v Speaker 2>just kind of you know, making it. They're saying it,

643
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:35.680
<v Speaker 2>they're saying it out loud. We can't do this. We

644
00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:40.000
<v Speaker 2>do not have financial means to compete, Like we can

645
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:43.599
<v Speaker 2>maybe do ten million. But if we're doing ten million

646
00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:48.039
<v Speaker 2>in the highest of our of our league is doing

647
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:51.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, more than double that, what are we even

648
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:54.200
<v Speaker 2>doing trying to compete? Because again, money is gonna matter

649
00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:59.039
<v Speaker 2>more than it's ever mattered. I mean, clearly there's gonna

650
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:02.359
<v Speaker 2>be enough money that is sh between SEC and Big twelve.

651
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:05.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, in Big ten schools to where they'll be

652
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:08.400
<v Speaker 2>able to make this work. But the others, you know,

653
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I think the successful schools in the Big twelve and

654
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:16.519
<v Speaker 2>the ACC that do just generate a lot of revenue

655
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:19.079
<v Speaker 2>because they have a big fan base that is, you know,

656
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:22.960
<v Speaker 2>that'll pay big donations for season tickets. Companies will will

657
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:25.799
<v Speaker 2>will donate money to their athletic fund like the Cardinal

658
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Fund or the k Fund, you know, And to be

659
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:32.519
<v Speaker 2>fair around here, we're in that boat. I mean, I

660
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:35.200
<v Speaker 2>think Josh Hurd was being very honest whenever he said

661
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:39.400
<v Speaker 2>they don't just have twenty millions sitting around for you know,

662
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:42.079
<v Speaker 2>when this starts, but they'll you know, and I'm not

663
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:44.720
<v Speaker 2>trying to paraphrase here for him, but like he was

664
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:46.920
<v Speaker 2>pretty clear whenever this news broke and it looked as

665
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:48.319
<v Speaker 2>if this was the way things were going to go,

666
00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:50.079
<v Speaker 2>that like, yeah, that's twenty million. They're gonna have to

667
00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:52.440
<v Speaker 2>figure out where it's going to come from. But you know,

668
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:54.400
<v Speaker 2>they have the ability to do that more so than

669
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:56.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of other schools will have the ability to

670
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:58.680
<v Speaker 2>do so. And you're just gonna have to make that

671
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:02.599
<v Speaker 2>decision like do you want to live in delusional fairy

672
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:04.680
<v Speaker 2>tale land where you think you are going to be

673
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:06.400
<v Speaker 2>able to compete at the high level, or do you

674
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:09.279
<v Speaker 2>want to just acknowledge out we're not one of the

675
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:14.519
<v Speaker 2>big boys. What makes it unfortunate is that football clearly

676
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:17.799
<v Speaker 2>matters more than anything. We've all known that. But this

677
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:21.440
<v Speaker 2>is another thing that could really damage something we love

678
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:25.440
<v Speaker 2>around here, and that's college basketball, because what happens with

679
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:27.799
<v Speaker 2>your football, I mean, your football program's got to drive

680
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:28.079
<v Speaker 2>the ship.

681
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Right.

682
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:30.680
<v Speaker 2>If football is not there to bring in money, you

683
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:33.279
<v Speaker 2>don't have a big bank role. I mean, you just don't.

684
00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:35.359
<v Speaker 2>Now you'd also don't have the expenses of what it

685
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:41.799
<v Speaker 2>costs to run a football program, but I just I wouldn't.

686
00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we've been saying this for a long long time.

687
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:45.680
<v Speaker 2>There's going to be a breakoff. There's going to be

688
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:49.000
<v Speaker 2>a separation between the highest level of college sports to

689
00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:51.359
<v Speaker 2>where it's basically going to be the NFL the NBA

690
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:57.440
<v Speaker 2>minor league essentially. And now I mean it's here, and

691
00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:00.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, again not technically, but you've got guys that

692
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:03.920
<v Speaker 2>are clearly getting paid to play. Guys can go wherever

693
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:06.359
<v Speaker 2>they want. Free agency is clearly a thing with the portal.

694
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:09.159
<v Speaker 2>And then once the schools are gonna be you know,

695
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:11.039
<v Speaker 2>once it's out there that they're allowed to pay that

696
00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:14.599
<v Speaker 2>much money. If you're in the business of wanting to

697
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:17.440
<v Speaker 2>compete at the high level and you're branding your athletic

698
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:20.599
<v Speaker 2>department as one that wants to compete with the highest

699
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.480
<v Speaker 2>in your in your industry, you're gonna have to have

700
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:29.199
<v Speaker 2>that money available to pay student athletes. And I don't

701
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:33.480
<v Speaker 2>care what you're doing, Having twenty plus million just around

702
00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:37.320
<v Speaker 2>every year is not easy to do. For some, it

703
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:39.400
<v Speaker 2>will be easy, right like Ohio State, they're the first

704
00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:41.239
<v Speaker 2>school that I've seen that's come out from the athletic

705
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:45.599
<v Speaker 2>director and made it quite clear. They're they're gonna they're

706
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna max out right, They're gonna do They're gonna pay

707
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:51.159
<v Speaker 2>the maximum amount that they're allowed to. So I don't

708
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:53.400
<v Speaker 2>think we have as much to worry about around here,

709
00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:56.519
<v Speaker 2>because I think schools like Louisville, Kentucky, they'll be able

710
00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:58.400
<v Speaker 2>to make it work. They'll be able to figure it out.

711
00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:02.840
<v Speaker 2>But the you know a lot of other schools won't.

712
00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:06.079
<v Speaker 2>And what that makes college athletics look like in a

713
00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:10.760
<v Speaker 2>few years is a big question mark. All right, what

714
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:12.440
<v Speaker 2>I want to do coming up here as we wrap

715
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:14.559
<v Speaker 2>up the show. On the other side, I've got some

716
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:16.559
<v Speaker 2>picks I want to share with you for tonight's game,

717
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the NFL game, of course, Ravens Chiefs. I got some

718
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:23.239
<v Speaker 2>props I want to throw out there just to just

719
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:25.360
<v Speaker 2>to you know, try to speak them in new existence.

720
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:27.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to pressure you guys to you know,

721
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:30.159
<v Speaker 2>do exactly what I'm doing, but you know, if there's

722
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:32.039
<v Speaker 2>more of us that are that are you know, all in,

723
00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:35.280
<v Speaker 2>maybe that could you know, kind of speaking in new

724
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:37.800
<v Speaker 2>existence a little bit, all right, real quick though, let

725
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.760
<v Speaker 2>me talk about my friends once again at Jefferson Animal Hospital.

726
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:43.159
<v Speaker 2>Did you guys know that your dog or cat can

727
00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:47.039
<v Speaker 2>donate blood just like you and I can. I'm telling

728
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:48.880
<v Speaker 2>you the truth. It's the truth. If your dog is

729
00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:51.199
<v Speaker 2>over fifty pounds or your cat is at least ten pounds,

730
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:54.039
<v Speaker 2>they may qualify to be a pet blood donor, where

731
00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:57.719
<v Speaker 2>every donation can save up to four to six lives. Plus,

732
00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:00.840
<v Speaker 2>there's all kinds of benefits that come with this meaning

733
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:04.440
<v Speaker 2>when your pet is a blood donor, including regular examinations,

734
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:08.119
<v Speaker 2>blood work, vaccines, all at Jefferson Animal Hospital on outer lips.

735
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:10.320
<v Speaker 2>So for more information on how your dog or cat

736
00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:12.519
<v Speaker 2>can become a pet blood donor called five h two

737
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:16.480
<v Speaker 2>nine hundred pets or visit pet bloodbank dot com. Again.

738
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:20.199
<v Speaker 2>Think about that, folks, These pets can give blood just

739
00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:22.119
<v Speaker 2>like us and it helps to save up to four

740
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:25.039
<v Speaker 2>to six lives. What would you not? What would you

741
00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:28.719
<v Speaker 2>not do this? Especially? I assume if you're somebody that

742
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:31.119
<v Speaker 2>is a pet owner, you got a dog or a cat,

743
00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:33.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, get the blood work done. Again, the benefits

744
00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:35.920
<v Speaker 2>are not just helping to save lives. You're also going

745
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:39.760
<v Speaker 2>to get examinations, vaccines, blood work done at a fine

746
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:42.559
<v Speaker 2>place like Jefferson Animal Hospital. So again the numbers five

747
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:45.519
<v Speaker 2>O two nine hundred pets or visit pet bloodbank dot com.

748

<v Speaker 2>Quick break. We'll come back and wrap it up on

749
00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:50.159
<v Speaker 2>the other side right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

750
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:53.400
<v Speaker 2>What's it better way to come back from break? That

751
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:53.960
<v Speaker 2>or this?

752
00:36:54.800 --> 00:37:00.280
<v Speaker 4>Coffe coffee? Where are you off?

753
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:03.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm going with the ladder. I think that I'm with

754
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:07.119
<v Speaker 2>you all right, So very little time left, but tonight

755
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:10.079
<v Speaker 2>on Underdog Fantasy, here's what I'm doing as far as

756
00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:12.480
<v Speaker 2>my picks in this matchup. And if you want to

757
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:14.840
<v Speaker 2>sign up for Underdog Fantasy and use the promo code

758
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:18.159
<v Speaker 2>Nick seven to ninety, you can take advantage of a

759
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:20.440
<v Speaker 2>great opportunity, a great, great offer that they've got come

760
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:21.880
<v Speaker 2>in your way. But here's what you've got to do.

761
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:26.000
<v Speaker 2>These are individual picks as far as player accomplishments throughout

762
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:27.800
<v Speaker 2>the game. You have to pick at least one on

763
00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:30.000
<v Speaker 2>each side. So for me, what I'm doing tonight, I'm

764
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.400
<v Speaker 2>going to go over fifty and a half rushing yards

765
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:38.039
<v Speaker 2>for Lamar Jackson. I think he realizes that despite being

766
00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:40.079
<v Speaker 2>able to prove that this point which he has that

767
00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:42.519
<v Speaker 2>he's a good quarterback in the pocket, can make the throws.

768
00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:44.519
<v Speaker 2>He's got a weapon with his legs. And I think

769
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:47.320
<v Speaker 2>him losing some weight this year. He talked about it once.

770
00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:49.679
<v Speaker 2>He was asked why he lost weight, and he said

771
00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:52.880
<v Speaker 2>he felt slower the last couple of years, so he's

772
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:55.159
<v Speaker 2>he's shed it a little bit of weight. Obviously that

773
00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:57.480
<v Speaker 2>could be concerning for some as far as his health

774
00:37:57.480 --> 00:37:59.800
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot. But I think tonight he's going to get

775
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:03.920
<v Speaker 2>old fifty yards. Therefore, I took the higher than fifty

776
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:07.559
<v Speaker 2>and a half, and as far as the Chiefs players,

777
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:09.280
<v Speaker 2>because again you got to take some at least one

778
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:13.320
<v Speaker 2>person from each side, I'm going to go. I'm gonna

779
00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:18.599
<v Speaker 2>go with lower than sixty and a half rushing yards

780
00:38:18.679 --> 00:38:22.639
<v Speaker 2>for Isaiah Pacheco. So there's two picks right there. I'm

781
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:24.639
<v Speaker 2>going to add another one because I also think that

782
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:28.239
<v Speaker 2>Zay Flowers will end up having higher than four and

783
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:30.840
<v Speaker 2>a half receptions. So those are two picks right here.

784
00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:33.480
<v Speaker 2>And I can now let's just say I put you know,

785
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:38.039
<v Speaker 2>let's say I put ten bucks on that, that's going

786
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:42.119
<v Speaker 2>to give me a payout of twenty seven thirty. I

787
00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:44.599
<v Speaker 2>could put twenty on it, and obviously that goes up

788
00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:46.440
<v Speaker 2>to you know where I'm getting fifty four to sixty,

789
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:49.639
<v Speaker 2>so Underdog Fantasy. The promo code if you want to

790
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:52.000
<v Speaker 2>sign up right now is Nick seven ninety and I

791
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:54.119
<v Speaker 2>think you'll be happy that you did. It's a lot,

792
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:55.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, to me, it's a different element when it

793
00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:58.840
<v Speaker 2>comes to the you know, wagering on sports during games.

794
00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Obviously this is not betting on a game itself as

795
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:04.280
<v Speaker 2>far as point spread, but it's really doing the player

796
00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:08.280
<v Speaker 2>totals and whatnot, high or lower, and it's a lot

797
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:09.960
<v Speaker 2>of fun. So again, check it out. We'll be back

798
00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:11.559
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow and I would have hoped by then, and I

799
00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:14.559
<v Speaker 2>imagine by then we'll have our transmitter issues fixed. So

800
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:16.480
<v Speaker 2>thank you guys for being patient with us. Thanks to

801
00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:19.239

802
00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:21.280
