But you know, I'm a big 37 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.640 coffee drinker and so a couple of cups of coffee 38 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.599 I've actually had three today already really soothes the throat 39 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:47.519 feeling a lot better. 40 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.159 So do you feel like it's allergy related? 41 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.439 Because yeah, my wife has really bad allergies too, and 42 00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:56.079 they usually affect her sooner than they affect me. And 43 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.239 you know, just listening to myself talk right now, it 44 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.239 definitely sounds like things are at least working. 45 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.439 Yeah, for the time being. E kid me. You sound 46 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.560 phenomenal as always. Yeah, I mean, allergies aren't fun for anybody, 47 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.759 and allergies can cause like things that really kind of 48 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.360 can just derail your day or really just cause you 49 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:14.879 you know, it could be a real pain in the ass. 50 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:16.400 So although you know, I don't know if there's any 51 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.159 allergies that would be related to your actual ass, but 52 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.080 you know what I mean, And I sometimes feel myself 53 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.560 feeling a little itch, you know, and I just hope 54 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.080 it's allergies because that you know that at least it 55 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.919 makes it make sense. It usually isn't something that's going 56 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.639 to completely, you know, put you down and out for 57 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.800 a couple of days. But yeah, this when when the 58 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.240 seasons are changing, which what I mean, that's what we're 59 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.520 at right now. That you know, I'm hoping it's allergies 60 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:43.960 for you because I don't want you getting sick. You 61 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:45.080 don't get you never get sick. 62 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.280 Sort of taking one sick day in the history of 63 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.240 me being here for nearly five years. 64 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.840 I'd like to I hope we're still working together in 65 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.560 the year twenty forty seven. I just picked a random 66 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.639 year many many years from now, and and you're still 67 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.560 sitting here saying one sick day in the history of 68 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:03.919 because like some people can claim, like, oh, I've never 69 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.240 took it, never took a sick day. Of those kids 70 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.719 you went to school with it, like bragged about never 71 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.560 missing a day of school. I bet that was worth it. 72 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:14.360 I was one of those, at least, at least for 73 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.520 all you know, I didn't even know this for a while, 74 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.840 you never missed a day of school, not that I 75 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.400 remember ever, No, not ever. 76 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.599 That's a really hard thing to do, especially when you're people. 77 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:25.759 But people have done it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. 78 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:27.360 I thought you were literally about to say you were 79 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.719 one of those guys that graduated high school and could 80 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:33.080 claim you never missed a day of school for being sick. 81 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.360 That might be true, but I've missed days for other reasons. Yeah, 82 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.599 same thing, like perfect attendance. She ever heard of that? 83 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.199 Yeah, I've heard of perfect attempt Okay, So like that's 84 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.360 like the lame thing to brag about though, right, absolutely. 85 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:44.439 That was my point. 86 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:45.960 But then you made me kind of feel like you 87 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.120 were one of those guys might be who he's talking about, 88 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.680 but you would know, Like again, if you were somebody 89 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.719 like that went through public school, I guess it could 90 00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:58.520 be private too, but you and I are both some 91 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.280 public school OG's here, and you never missed a day 92 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:03.639 of school for any reason. 93 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.199 Yeah, that's I'm not in that category, okay, cause some 94 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.879 people are. It's super rare, but like the people who 95 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.080 do it, you know. In fact, I remember there were 96 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:16.240 two kids that I was in school with one. I mean, 97 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.279 I mean it was a known thing, like we got 98 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.319 to like seventh eighth grade kid never missed the day, 99 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.600 sure enough, we graduate never missed today. And I kind of, 100 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:26.360 you know, I kind of felt bad for him because, 101 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.560 like I think he didn't want it to be brought 102 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.160 up all the time, but it was a rare thing, 103 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:32.920 and you know, they wanted to brag on him. But 104 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.040 like I think after a while he was like, all right, enough, 105 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.439 like this doesn't make me look cool. I'm a puberty's hit. 106 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.959 I'm a teenager now, Like this is not gonna help 107 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.000 me with the ladies. They're not gonna, you know, move 108 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.079 me up the power rankings of guys they're interested in 109 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.199 because I never missed school. So I kind of felt 110 00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:49.480 bad for him. I mean, he doesn't wrong with what 111 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.240 he did, but like it was always kind of thrown 112 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.759 in our face, like if you could only be like 113 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.519 this kid because he's never missed school. And then there 114 00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.759 was another kid who it was a she moved to 115 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.000 our district, our area, not from around here. We're supposed 116 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.439 to just believe that she never missed school the first 117 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.439 nine years she was in publics. Come on, I mean, sure, 118 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.639 all right, I don't believe her, still don't to this day. 119 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:15.879 So you're telling me you have missed school for like 120 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.639 a funeral or or something fun I want to do. Yeah, like, okay, 121 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.040 well you got to miss school just because you want 122 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:24.560 to go do something fun. Yeah, Usually it was. 123 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.399 So there was a time back whenever I was probably 124 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.279 middle school early high school, where my grandpa and I 125 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.639 we would go up annually to either an IU baseball 126 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:34.519 game and I you foot. 127 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:35.519 I mean football games. 128 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.959 Are on Saturdays, but basketball that's all the times that 129 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.319 I get checked out early to travel up to Bloomington 130 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:41.519 for the afternoon in the evening. 131 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.319 That's awesome. That is awesome. Here you had me thinking, 132 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.399 I am I insulted you because you were like one 133 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.240 of those kids I was just talking about that literally 134 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:49.839 never met like lived at the school. 135 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.160 If they were they thinking about just in reference to 136 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:56.000 being sick. So I had sick days as a kid, 137 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.439 and it pains me to admit this. I can say 138 00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:01.959 this now because you know, I'm a grown adult and 139 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.639 I think it's time to come clean mom. 140 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:06.839 And she's not listening. My mom's in Florida, she's on 141 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:08.959 she's on vacation. But I'm sure we'll get back to 142 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.839 her because I know a lot of her, her her coworkers. Listen. 143 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.639 I can tell you this, mom, and it's gonna feel 144 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.839 good to get it off my chest. Seventy five percent 145 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.920 at minimum of the time I stayed home from school sick, 146 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.920 I wasn't really sick. Now, it wasn't that often because 147 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.120 she was pretty like you know, oh you don't feel good, 148 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.839 get up like you know she was she she was 149 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.120 you know, she was a good she's a great mother. 150 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:35.600 But you know she would if I was really sick, 151 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.360 she'd know, she'd help me. But she had a good 152 00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:39.519 she had a good detector. You know what I'm saying, like, Oh, no, 153 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.839 you're just tired. You were up last night, you know 154 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:46.199 playing NBA Live that you're not sick. You're tired because 155 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:47.920 you didn't go to bed when I told you to son, 156 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.879 like see you know she could, so I oftentimes didn't try, 157 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.639 but there were some times where I was able to, 158 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.800 like here's what I would do, Like, wait a second, 159 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.560 I don't feel sick, but man, I am losing my 160 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.439 voice a little bit. I don't feel like I'm sick, 161 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.600 but man, in the nose is a faucet, and I 162 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.040 would just kind of, you know, I would kind of 163 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:07.600 overdo it as far as all symptoms to where she 164 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:09.360 would you know, I don't know if she ever really 165 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:10.680 believed me, but there were times where she was like, 166 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:13.079 all right, well he doesn't sound good, didn't look good 167 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:14.519 by send him to school, and then I'm gonna look 168 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.360 like a bad mom. So I'm just gonna keep him home. 169 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:18.800 Did you ever hear of any tricks to like make 170 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.519 you to make you be able to uh, to make 171 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:26.439 you be able to like have a fever? Didn't have 172 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.040 something to do with like putting ice or penny. So 173 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.000 I never had you know what to try it because 174 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.800 like if, I like if, mom, because nowadays it's all digital. 175 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.360 Whenever I was in school and I was growing up 176 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.800 and like your parents were checking your temperature, like you know, 177 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.839 it was an older thermometer. I don't know if there 178 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.519 was any digital capabilities to it, but like, you know, 179 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:48.879 for some reason, I feel like it was red like 180 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.720 with the you could read it with like that red line, 181 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:53.639 you know what I mean, where you know, something like that. 182 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.160 So I remember kids at school saying like if you 183 00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.040 put a penny under your tongue. It was a kid 184 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:00.920 on the bus he would say that if you put 185 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.160 a penny under your tongue and the thermometer, like the 186 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.160 silver tip of it hits you know, it's underneath your 187 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:10.040 tongue and it's on the penny, it'll it'll register every 188 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.639 time at like one hundred points something like, nothing crazy high, 189 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.639 but still you had a temperature. Yeah, And like I 190 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:18.639 just believed him. Kid was kind of a bully, so 191 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:20.399 he's probably you know, he's probably lying, just messing with 192 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.800 us because we were he was two years older than us. 193 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.360 But I always wondered did that work? And I thought 194 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.000 about it a couple of times. I had a penny 195 00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:29.639 next to my nightstand when I was going to try 196 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.879 to you know, fake sick, and I never had the 197 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:33.679 stones to do it, because like if Mom saw I 198 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:36.519 had some kind of you know device, some kind of 199 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.559 a way to kind of, you know, manipulate the thermometer. 200 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:41.320 One she'd be disappointed in me, and also you know, 201 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.679 she might knock me upside the head. I mean, not really, 202 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:45.600 but you know, it was different times back in the 203 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:49.440 in the nineties, folks, I got spanked. It wasn't fun. 204 00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:51.600 I got spanked in the two thousands. 205 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:51.519 Did you. 206 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.200 I'm actually this not to take the conversation in a 207 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.000 weird direction as we get the show started in a 208 00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:01.399 very unexpected, unusual way, or still getting like spanked. 209 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.679 I think I think it's a lot more accepted than 210 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:06.720 maybe people would make it out to be, because I 211 00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:08.919 do know there is a larger contingent of people who 212 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:09.960 are against it, and. 213 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.559 You know, I'm good. A lot of people are against 214 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.240 things when it comes to parenting, that don't have kids, 215 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.679 that aren't parents, that are never gonna be parents, don't 216 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:21.600 want to be parents, and they're the most opinionated people 217 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.919 on how how kids should be raised. Again, I feel 218 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:26.679 strongly about this. I don't you know not to say 219 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.960 you can't have an opinion, and you are beneath people 220 00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:31.440 who don't have me. Trust me, if you don't want 221 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.600 to have kids, that's your choice, and I'm sure you've 222 00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:36.440 made that choice and feel great about it. It is not 223 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.559 about like, hey, you don't have a kid, You're not 224 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:40.360 really you never really had to go. But I don't 225 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.960 think you can actually, Like here's what I'll say. You 226 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.200 can't relate unless you have a kid. Doesn't mean you 227 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.159 can't have an opinion, doesn't mean you can't you know, 228 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:49.200 express your thoughts. Like I know people all the time 229 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:51.080 who don't have kids that I talk to about my 230 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:52.759 life as a parent and as a dad, and like 231 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.840 I appreciate they're not insight, but like you know, I 232 00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.320 appreciate hearing what they have to say about things because 233 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.600 I value them as as a human. But like that, 234 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.879 nothing nothing irks me more. This is like one of 235 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:05.720 the one of the things I got to add to 236 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.519 the list of things that like I realize I'm getting 237 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.159 worked up about and I'm like, okay, I'm getting old, 238 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.679 Like this is it. I'm now becoming Like now, okay, 239 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.639 I guess I'm conservative. Now I got you know, like 240 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.360 you know, it's happening. So one of those things is 241 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:19.679 people who are the most like the example, remember in 242 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:23.279 the JCPS bus thing was a complete disaster, yeah, last year, 243 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:25.840 comple I mean it was and it was absolutely a 244 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:30.039 train wreck. It made national news, and you know, it 245 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.639 was a scary, scary thought for somebody to not know 246 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.200 where their kid was because they got on the wrong 247 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.080 bus or the bus is still out and you know, 248 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.519 their kids in fourth grade so they don't have a 249 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.039 cell phone, that kind of stuff. But what really stood 250 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.919 out to me is that some of the most nasty 251 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:48.919 people towards JCPS, some of the most you know, loud 252 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:54.240 mouthed idiots on Facebook, did not have kids, did not 253 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.840 work in the school system, none of their it doesn't 254 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:00.799 relate to them in any way. And yet they're the 255 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:02.799 ones who were just the most opinionated on and about 256 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:04.200 what needs to be done and about the kids and 257 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:05.639 all that, and it just you know, those are things 258 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:07.879 that you know, the irritate me. But when it comes 259 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.559 to like disciplining kids, I mean, I'll I'll tell you 260 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.200 straight up, like I'm gonna hold my kids accountable. I'm 261 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:15.919 gonna make sure they know right from wrong as best 262 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.759 I can. I don't want to be that soft dad, 263 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:20.639 but like I don't think I would have the ability 264 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:23.639 to actually, you know, spank a kid, spank my kid. 265 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.399 I'm just taking any kids. I'm just saying, you know, 266 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:28.840 cry around you cry with them. Oh yeah, yeah yeah, 267 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:30.960 And I once and now that I know like that, 268 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:32.480 that's what I would do, I'm like, let's just avoid 269 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:35.399 that experience. All right, Let's get the show started. What 270 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.000 a weird eleven and a half minutes to uh, you know, 271 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:40.559 to lean in here, but here we are here, we 272 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:42.639 are all right. We are gonna have one guest joining 273 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.480 us today, coming up at four thirty. We'll talk. Actually, 274 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.519 let me double check here. I believe it may not 275 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:49.399 be four thirty. I may have just told you a lie. 276 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:52.279 Kendrick Haskins. That's who's gonna be with us. You know him, 277 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.320 you love him, You see him on Wave three. He's 278 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.679 gonna be with us at four or five today. We'll 279 00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:59.600 talk with Kendrick. We do it each week, get his 280 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:02.519 thoughts on the local teams. And I don't know I'm 281 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.399 gonna have to. I mean, with Cowboys being you know, 282 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:11.600 allegedly America's team, Kendrick's one of my biggest cowboy fan friends, 283 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.799 and like I mean, they give Dak all the money 284 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.399 and then of course they come out and get completely 285 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.519 curb stomped at home and their home opener to Dallas. 286 00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:24.200 I'm sorry to New Orleans, so I may rip him 287 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:25.559 a little bit on that, but also I just want 288 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:27.080 to get his thoughts as far as what he expects 289 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.480 to see in this first real test for louisvill against 290 00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:33.639 Georgia Tech coming up on Saturday. Kentucky, I mean, what's 291 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.799 more likely none of us will know until we actually 292 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:40.200 see results that have yet to come. But for those 293 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:44.519 that just think this means Kentucky is you know, because 294 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.559 the reality is this Kentucky football is probably a mixture 295 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:49.399 between what you saw against Georgia and what you saw 296 00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:52.919 against South Carolina. And to be fair to them, just 297 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.840 because I know they've got some pretty good personnel, I 298 00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:57.919 actually would say they're a closer team to what you 299 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.879 saw against Georgia than to what you saw against South Carolina. 300 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:02.600 But more than anything, it's because they were just so 301 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.440 bad against South Carolina, probably the worst performance of Stoops's 302 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.399 time there. And you know they're not They're not gonna 303 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.879 be terrible. But for those that just think because they 304 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:16.399 played Georgia really really close and probably you know, I 305 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.240 mean head Stoops not punted it away on fourth down there. 306 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.159 Who knows what would have happened. But let me remind 307 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.759 you there are two teams that did exactly what you 308 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:33.240 did to Georgia, exactly outplayed them, meaning Georgia in Georgia's 309 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.399 first road SEC game of the season. All while Georgia 310 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.600 is in the midst of this current dynasty that they're on, 311 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:40.559 they are, I mean, I don't know if we can 312 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:42.360 call it a dynasty. I mean, they've won two out 313 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.559 of three and I mean again, had they been the 314 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:51.000 team that got in the playoff, wouldn't have been a 315 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:53.720 big head scratcher, although they did lose to Tobama in 316 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:57.039 the in the SEC championship game. But like if Georgia 317 00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:58.840 would have made it all the way to the championship, 318 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:00.720 if Georgia would have made the fourteen playoff last year, 319 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:02.799 nobody would be surprised if they won it, and they'd 320 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:05.080 be looking at potentially going to a four peat. So again, 321 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:08.200 two teams have done exactly what Kentucky did on Saturday, 322 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:14.200 out play Georgia while they're this great and then not 323 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:15.759 be able to hold on and win. And I don't 324 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:17.720 even know if it's fair or accurate to say that 325 00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:20.279 Georgia couldn't hold on or Kentucky couldn't hold on because 326 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:21.720 they never really had control of the game. But it 327 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:24.440 was neck and neck really from start definish. It was 328 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.960 a very competitive game. And as I said yesterday, you 329 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:30.120 take away everything you know about those teams prior to 330 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:32.759 kickoff and you just watch which you just watch the 331 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:35.440 game itself, you would say those are very comparable teams, 332 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:40.279 even though we know they're not. But anyways, Auburn last 333 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.480 year ended up doing the same thing they play they 334 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:45.679 they I think, and I remember watching that game because 335 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:46.919 I bet on it and I watched a good chunk 336 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:48.600 of it. And when you got a team on the 337 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.080 ropes like that, there's gonna be people tuning in because wow, 338 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.559 is Number one about to go down? And by the way, 339 00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:00.559 that was the was that the most watched game of 340 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:02.559 college football this past weekend? It was one of them. 341 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:07.440 But anyways, last year Auburn played Georgia super competitive and 342 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:09.639 ended up not being able to hold on, and it 343 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.480 didn't mean that their season was then you know, turned around, 344 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.440 because they realized, hey, if we bring it every night, 345 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:17.279 we can play with anybody. They ended up having a 346 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:20.399 losing record and again lost to New Mexico State a 347 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:25.360 year before that. Missouri it was Auburn's. I'm sorry, not Auburn's. 348 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:30.879 It was George's first road game in SEC action outplayed them, 349 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.759 another game that I remember tuning in, not even because 350 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.200 I wagered, because I'm like, wow, was this about to happen? 351 00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:39.200 That when a big upset's bruin, you know, maybe people 352 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.639 are not watching a game and they're just on their phone, 353 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.399 or maybe they're watching a different game. When you get 354 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.240 to halftime, you come back from a commercial break, if 355 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.759 there's a potential goliath about to go down, they're gonna 356 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:50.279 let everybody know and people are going to tune in 357 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.159 and watch. So that's why I remember both these games 358 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.240 pretty vividly. But Missouri, they were at home and they 359 00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:57.039 outplayed them, only Tod not be able to hold on 360 00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:58.960 and win, and then they ended up having a losing 361 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:00.679 season the rest of the way, ended up I think, 362 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:06.480 finishing the season five and seven. So I don't know 363 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.240 if Kentucky's gonna do that, But it is weird how 364 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.960 George has been in been in that situation twice and 365 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:16.759 again it's not just the fact that you almost beat 366 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.799 Georgia and then didn't. It's early in the season, right. 367 00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:23.080 This has happened in each of each of the last 368 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.480 three seasons. George's first road game in SEC play has 369 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:28.480 been the exact same thing, and yet George just went 370 00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:30.960 on to be really really good. The teams that have 371 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:33.600 done it up to this point, meaning challenge them, did 372 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.519 not really carry that over to the rest of the season. Well, 373 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.080 Kentucky do it. Who knows, maybe they will, because again, 374 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:41.559 I actually think Kentucky has good players. I don't know 375 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:43.639 how good their quarterback is, but if they can line 376 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:45.200 up and run the ball against Georgia like they did 377 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:46.559 the other night, I mean they should be able to 378 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:47.759 have They should be able to do that against a 379 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.919 lot of teams. So again, we'll talk to Kendrick coming 380 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:54.120 up here at about four h five. I watched last 381 00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:58.679 night's Monday Night Football, and I mean it wasn't fun 382 00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:03.399 for me because you know, my my picks I put 383 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:05.400 together with the underdog fantasy did not come through. But 384 00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:07.559 that's okay. Well, I mean I get right back at 385 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:10.599 it come Thursday, and I'm gonna believe in the power 386 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:12.720 of positivity and hope that I put something together that 387 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:14.599 can they can cash because that's you know, that's what 388 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.000 you want to do. But I didn't know if anybody 389 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:23.000 else was observing the broadcast booth the way that I was. 390 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.319 So Travis Kelcey, not Travis Kelsey, his brother Jason Kelsey. 391 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:29.240 I oftentimes just like have to like, wait a second, 392 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.920 I know there's two Kelsey's. Obviously I know who I 393 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.359 know who Travis is, and like Jason Kelsey's a legendary player, 394 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.640 is going to be in the Hall of Fame, has 395 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.359 won Super Bowls like or a Super Bowl Like he's great, 396 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.480 but like I only really know of him because of 397 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:44.599 his brother, to be honest with you, but he was 398 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:48.000 in the Monday Night football booth last night with Aikman 399 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.920 and Buck, and like I was hoping they wouldn't I mean, 400 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:54.759 I was really hoping that it wouldn't be awkward for 401 00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:57.599
