WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:07.599 It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on 2 00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:23.800 Sports Talk seven to nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee. 3 00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:27.480 You know, it's kind of just now hitting me that 4 00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.359 this is the last week of the regular season in 5 00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:34.679 college basketball. We only have two games left for Louisville 6 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.200 and we'll be just one after tomorrow. Kentucky they played 7 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.240 a night taking on LSU, and of course then they'll 8 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.840 just have their game this weekend as well. So I'm 9 00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.679 looking at tonight's tonight's lineup, if you will, when it 10 00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.560 comes to when it comes to college hoops, and we've 11 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:52.920 got some good games. We just started watching the third 12 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.600 season of a show called called Yellowjackets. My wife and 13 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.479 I did, and it's great. But like I'm gonna have 14 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.719 to tell her to night, honey, no, no, no streaming 15 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.480 our show. We're gonna watch College of Basketball because we 16 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.319 won't have many You'll have me. You'll have me all 17 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:13.079 to yourself for watching any any show you want once 18 00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:15.239 once college hoops comes to an end. But we've got 19 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.200 we've got matchups tonight that I'm that I'm interested in. 20 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:18.560 Honey. 21 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.640 She doesn't hate sports like a good sport, no she 22 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.920 I mean she I mean, honestly, she if I had 23 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.319 basketball on, she would just assume we weren't watching the 24 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:32.079 show like that, you know, I didn't want to. 25 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:33.599 So I've got it. I've got it. 26 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.200 I've got it, pretty, I've got I've got a mate 27 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.519 with her. But then sometimes she'll say, are you watching 28 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:41.760 this or do you want to watch our show? And 29 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:46.079 because the TV like stays on basketball really throughout the 30 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.560 entire season, I usually okay, we can watch the show. 31 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.040 But tonight, if she asked, I'm gonna have to be 32 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.040 the guy. Sorry, honey, tonight we've got Auburn and Texas 33 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:55.040 A and M at nine. 34 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.120 How about b YU Iowa State? 35 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.120 Maybe maybe honey, instead of yellow ackets, could I interest 36 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.439 you with a little West Coast action. 37 00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.599 Indiana taken on Oregon. What do you think about that? Yeah? 38 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.199 So yeah, it's gonna make me sad. 39 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.879 Whenever we get to the end of the actual entire thing, 40 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.120 meaning when you know, somebody cuts down the nets in 41 00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.360 the final four, because I go through seasonal depression. 42 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.280 There it is. It's not me banging the hammer because 43 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.360 I'm gonna be sad. It's there. Back to work over here, 44 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.560 they said, they said depression, all right. 45 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:29.879 I'm gonna guess that is what it was all day Friday, 46 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:30.680 That's what it was. 47 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.439 That's that's okay, all right. 48 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.479 I would say, because it's been so sporadic that it's 49 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.599 you know, I'm hopeful that the rest of the way 50 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.639 here it'll just be that maybe every. 51 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.639 Now and then, but not like a constant thing yet. No, 52 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.680 that was constant for hours Friday hours. Yeah, so hopefully 53 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:49.280 they've again. 54 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:51.639 Anytime that happens, I just completely block out and lose 55 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.439 my train of thought. But anyways, everybody gets seasonal depression 56 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.479 whenever it starts getting dark outside early and you know, 57 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.000 you leave work and by the time you get home, 58 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.319 like six o'clock, it's again it's already dark, it's cold outside. Like, 59 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:06.439 seasonal depression is a real thing. Uh, And you know 60 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:10.000 there are places in Alaska that you don't even get 61 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.759 any daylight for like months throughout the year, and there 62 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.759 are people there who get drunk and like deal with 63 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:18.800 it as best they can, and unfortunately, like there's a 64 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:19.639 lot of suicides. 65 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:20.879 It's I mean, it's a real thing. 66 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:23.719 So I don't want to make light of it, but everybody, like, 67 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:28.000 you know, my my favorite time of the year is 68 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:33.599 really from like not even just like football season is great, 69 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:39.000 like September October, like you know when football gets rolling 70 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.159 with the NFL and college football, like I love that. 71 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.439 But for me, like when we get to November up 72 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.759 until really I guess about you know, marchish like and 73 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.560 I don't know why, Like I'm very odd because those 74 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.599 are you know, that's maybe it's because I just enjoy 75 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.719 the holidays so much. And I don't know, like I've 76 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.759 read some pretty twisted, pretty twisted stuff that like we'll 77 00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:01.520 tell even by way you can find you can find 78 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.719 anything that'll make you believe whatever. 79 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:05.120 You want on the internet. 80 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:06.479 So it wasn't like, you know, I'm sure I could 81 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.240 find something that tells me otherwise, but like I've read 82 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.520 some twisted stuff about what it says about people like 83 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.439 me who actually prefer that time of the year that 84 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.279 actually don't mind the cold weather. And you know, it 85 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.560 might mean that I'm like a sick and twisted son 86 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:18.959 of a bitch. 87 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.040 I don't know, but I'm just being honest with you. 88 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.680 When we start to see like I'm already seeing the 89 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.519 warnings about the clocks, like we're having to adjust the clocks, 90 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.639 is that this weekend the clocks. 91 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:33.759 Is it this weekend or next? It's this Sunday. I 92 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:35.680 think we spring forward. I don't know if it's Yeah, 93 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:36.319 it's coming up. 94 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.600 And just not too long ago, we were talking about 95 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.959 the damn groundhog. Yeah, telling us it was what's that 96 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:47.040 at the end of January? Yeah, so March ninth, this Sunday. Ok, yeah, 97 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.839 it says daylight savings time. We'll start at two am 98 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:53.439 and we spring forward and lose an hour. But that 99 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:57.199 also means that it'll be light a lot longer in 100 00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:01.000 the evening than it is currently, which makes everybody to me, 101 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.199 it's not the daylight that makes me sad, but it's 102 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.600 a reminder that here we go. Like my calendar year 103 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:13.240 starts like when football season starts, not January. So once 104 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.759 we get to the end of college basketball, really Derby 105 00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.040 because because college hoops goes on till like April now 106 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.959 mid April, and then you've we got Derby season right 107 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.120 after that. So in a way, like it's really after 108 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:27.839 Derby where I'm like, all right, well, here we go. 109 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:29.199 Now we have like the. 110 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:33.399 Long, seemingly never ending spring and summer months where I 111 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:37.120 have to wait until, you know, until we get football 112 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.319 and then basketball starts, and like that's my happy place. 113 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.879 Whenever comfortable, like I feel, I feel worthless and I 114 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.240 have no purpose whenever there's not like the sports that 115 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.920 I love to just kind of get lost in, which 116 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:52.199 you know, probably doesn't say uh much about me as 117 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:53.959 far as like my personal life, you know what I mean. 118 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:55.920 Like And it's not like I genuinely like become a 119 00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.800 depressed person, but when you think of like certain times 120 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.319 of the year that hit you where you're like, oh man, 121 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:05.879 are we really about to have cold weather again? 122 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.800 Is it really about to get dark outside? 123 00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.800 Or even kids like, oh man, they're showing the back 124 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:14.000 to school commercials, that means summer breaks almost over. Like 125 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.800 I'm sure everybody at every age has like a time 126 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.199 of the year that you, you know, you don't. 127 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:19.839 Really look forward to. 128 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.240 For me, it's it's when college basketball ends, and it's 129 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:25.079 always been that way. 130 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.720 I think you need to start embracing baseball a little 131 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.319 bit more like golf, you know, because a lot of 132 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.480 people do you and not get that feeling when because 133 00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.120 I was never the biggest golf and I guess I I. 134 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:39.199 Mean like playing it or watching it totally different things 135 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.319 on the TV. See, I don't have to sit down 136 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.199 and watch it. Brother, I've never watched golf one time 137 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.360 in my life, I mean masters, I mean no, like 138 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.319 I've kept like I'll know what's going on because social media. 139 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.839 I do remember we turned it on. We might have 140 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:57.519 been doing Easter at my in laws when Tiger finally 141 00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.279 came back and won the mat like you know he 142 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.319 did when pople thought he would never do again, right, 143 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.079 And I remember it was on and it was about 144 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.759 to happen, and I remember kind of appointment viewing, like hey, 145 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:09.800 we got to see this, this is crazy, But like 146 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.680 I don't, like I've never I've never watched golf on TV. 147 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.000 And you know, maybe eventually I'll get into it, but 148 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:16.160 I don't know. I kind of feel like if I 149 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.800 was going to, I already would have so I could 150 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.560 play golf and and that would be fun. And I 151 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.040 don't a few years ago, I'd never played around a 152 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.920 golf in my life, and I wouldn't. I mean, I 153 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.000 just I wouldn't even know. And I still I'm terrible, 154 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.439 Like if you ever want to go golfing with me, 155 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.519 like just know like I'm gonna have to not I'm 156 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.160 probably just gonna have to pick up my ball and 157 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.279 move on to a different hole because like it'll be 158 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.319 you know, I'm that bad, but it is. 159 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:42.160 But it is fun. 160 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.959 But what the same thing that you know, I guess 161 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.519 kept me from playing other sports when I was a 162 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:50.720 kid is the same thing as an adult. I'm super 163 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.439 competitive with myself. So if I suck at something, I'm 164 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.199 gonna end up getting really really upset while you know, 165 00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:58.560 not being good at it, and it's just going to 166 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.839 be a negative spirit experience. And I'm being like, yeah, 167 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:02.720 I'm not doing that. Yeah, that's why I picked up 168 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.920 a basketball when I was a kid kind of felt 169 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.199 like Okay, I like this, I can. 170 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.519 Maybe do this, and then I never play anything else. 171 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.040 It's just like around these times. I don't know, maybe 172 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.360 I've just associated with it because I was that kid. 173 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.600 That's like when the tournament's coming up. It's March, we're 174 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.639 just about two months away from school being out. 175 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.000 Of course you got the tournament, and. 176 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.439 Then like what I associate that with because you're we're 177 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.199 usually watching CBS for March madness. Well, that's when you 178 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.519 start to see the Master's commercials and they start to 179 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:33.159 show like Augusta and like that whole uh, all the 180 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.759 commercials and the nice soothing music and where it's it's 181 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.360 the changing of the seasons. And I've always liked that. So, 182 00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.120 you know, even though I've hated watching golf, I've started 183 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:42.639 to embrace it a little bit well. 184 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:45.519 And it is like it's clearly popular and it's it's 185 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.759 the one. And I'm sure, you know, others will disagree 186 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.240 with that and disagree with this, and that's fine, But 187 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.200 when it comes to, like, you know, doing this with 188 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:56.679 this job, is golf's to me the only sport that 189 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.240 I genuinely need to know more than I know. And 190 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.240 at times it's a real like it's not a real issue, 191 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.879 but I mean it would be better for me and 192 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.159 for this show if I was at least a little 193 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.320 bit dangerous when it comes to being able to, you know, 194 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:11.320 talk about the sport. 195 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:12.399 I don't know anything about it. 196 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.759 Yeah, but other than that, like I don't know anything about hockey, 197 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:17.279 don matter baseball, believe it or not, Like that doesn't 198 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:19.759 like baseball is not a talk radio topic, like if 199 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:21.480 it isn't like if you're in a market where you 200 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:22.799 have a team, they're going to keep up with it 201 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.399 for sure, and they're going to discuss, you know, what's 202 00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:27.960 going on with like their team as far as transactions, 203 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.639 but the sport itself. Even in big markets, they may 204 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.000 be discussing the team, they're not discussing the sport, if 205 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.399 that makes sense. They're not discussing, you know, like what's 206 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.000 happening in the nine inning games. 207 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.720 So yeah, golf is something. 208 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.080 That at least I can play it now and have 209 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.360 some fun there here and there. But as far as 210 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.320 watching it, like when you because people tell me they 211 00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:49.120 enjoy getting on the on the couch or the recliner 212 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.799 on a Sunday and watching the Masters or watching you know, 213 00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.559 one of the big tournaments, and they enjoy falling asleep 214 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:57.600 and then waking up and seeing like you know, where 215 00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:00.159 things are. And I'm like, if you look for or 216 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.879 to falling asleep while it's on, you don't watch. 217 00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:04.559 It, Like what are you talking about? Like I don't, 218 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:05.639 I don't, I don't get it. 219 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.679 So anyways, I'm gonna make the most of what we 220 00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:13.039 have left here of college basketball season. And by the way, 221 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.159 just a reminder, since we're talking about the daylight savings time, 222 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.399 it says sleep experts advise going to bed fifteen to 223 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.840 twenty minutes earlier in waking up fifteen to twenty minutes 224 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.960 earlier every day this week until Sunday, so it can 225 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:28.320 help ease the adjustment. 226 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.200 I don't think it's not I don't think we need 227 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.679 to do that. I mean, am I the only person 228 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:34.559 that like the amount of sleep. 229 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:38.399 I get every night always varies, Like I mean, you 230 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:40.080 and I probably are the same as far as like 231 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.279 we don't tell ourselves got to be in bed at 232 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:46.360 this time? But my range is anywhere between. Like if 233 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.919 I if I'm in bed before eleven, it's either because 234 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:53.759 I'm sick, or it's because I. 235 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.879 Had a long day or I'm hammered, which I guess 236 00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:59.759 would technically not be in bed. That'd be me passing 237 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:00.360 out right. 238 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:07.720 And if I'm if I'm in bed past one thirty 239 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.440 in the morning, that's like, all right, you stayed up 240 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:11.000 way too late. 241 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.440 So like I got, I got a two hourish. 242 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.519 Range where anywhere between, Like I'll be honest with you, 243 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.240 pre midnight's even rare for me now, like between midnight 244 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:21.519 and one am is usually when I lay down and 245 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.480 go to bed and when I get up. I guess 246 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.159 during the week and that's the thing. I'm pretty like 247 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.440 my like my daughter's got to be at daycare. My 248 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:32.639 daughter's got to be at school by eight thirty, and 249 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:36.039 my son has to be at daycare by nine thirty. 250 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.879 So sometimes I get up at five, Sometimes I get 251 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:44.159 up at seven. Sometimes I get up, you know, at eight, 252 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.799 you know, like it really totally varies. Although I don't 253 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:48.200 try to sleep that late because if I do, then 254 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.639 I'm really crunched for time to even get them where 255 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:51.639 they need to be on times. 256 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.960 So and by the way, I. 257 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:57.240 Do miss having like more structure, Like I'm all over 258 00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:58.879 the place with everything, and it's because I can be 259 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:00.600 you know what I'm saying, because I don't have to 260 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:01.960 get up at a certain time, because I don't have 261 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.399 to be somewhere at a certain time, like it it's 262 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:05.360 you know, your own boss. 263 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:06.600 Yeah, And there's benefits to that. 264 00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:08.519 But also, like I know, I'd be more productive, like 265 00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.720 if I, like when I got up at five point 266 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:13.679 thirty every day to come and do the show when 267 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:15.480 I was on at seven am, right, I had a 268 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.320 little bit more organization, a little bit more structure, because 269 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.120 like sure it was I had to be I needed 270 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:21.440 to be embedded a certain time. I had to get 271 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:22.919 up at a certain time. Now it's just kind of 272 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.879 you know. And again it's I'm sure people are listening, like, man, 273 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:27.360 you got it made. What are you complaining about? 274 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:27.840 And you're right. 275 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.360 But I am someone that just knows myself well enough 276 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.799 to know that with the freedom, that leads to me 277 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.799 not being as productive as I probably could and should be. 278 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:39.639 But yes, for mind, to everybody, we will lose an 279 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.639 hour of sleep. But I would assume that'll be something 280 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.919 most folks are okay with because again, we're getting warmer 281 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.360 weather on the way, we're getting spring, and look, I 282 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.240 enjoy I don't want to act like I'm some miserable 283 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:53.159 person during times when it's nice outside. There's some great 284 00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:56.639 perks to like beautiful weather and whatnot. But you know, 285 00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:59.919 when it comes to sports, like I just I got 286 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.039 I got nothing for baseball and even the NBA. Now, 287 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.639 like I don't, I mean, I just, I mean, I 288 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:07.799 tell myself every year, okay, well, now I'll try to 289 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.759 get in the NBA again, and I usually don't, although 290 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:12.919 I did watch the NBA the other night because my 291 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.159 son he's all into it now, he's got two k 292 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.240 on his PlayStation and he's he's loving it. So we 293 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.679 watched the Clippers and the Lakers play, and it was 294 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.080 the first time that I actually sat down and watched, 295 00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.840 like you know, I wasn't just on my phone like 296 00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:26.639 I was watching. 297 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:28.480 I think I watched like two and a half quarters. 298 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:30.360 And I mean it. 299 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.000 Wasn't like you know, as you're seen entertaining. I didn't 300 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:34.840 bet on anybody, so I didn't have any preference as 301 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:35.639 far as what happened. 302 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:37.200 But it was, you know, it was I'll. 303 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.559 Put it this way, is exactly the product of NBA basketball, 304 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.080 at least in that instance, was better than I was 305 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:45.879 expecting it to be. So there's you know, there's that 306 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:48.320 speaking of the NBA real quick, We'll move on and 307 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.120 get back into, you know, things you probably care about, 308 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:53.360 because I'm sure you don't care about my sleep habits 309 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:54.600 and my schedule or anything like that. 310 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:55.000 I do. 311 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:58.960 But could things have gone worse for the Mavericks since 312 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:01.919 they traded Lukadanca? No, did you see Kyrie irvings out 313 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.360 for the year with torn acl. 314 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:06.080 Yep, I watched it or I saw it social media 315 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:10.159 on for yeah. I mean like that's I mean, when 316 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:11.480 it rains, it pours. 317 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.200 If only they would have had a non injury riddled 318 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.360 center that they traded their generational franchise player. 319 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:21.279 Well, and Colin Cowhert said it best the other day, 320 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:25.919 when you trade somebody like Luca and you know you're 321 00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:28.320 getting somebody that is a lot like Anthony Davis, a 322 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:30.360 good player, but he's a lot older than Luca, and 323 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:32.759 of course he's you know, he's injury prone, which means 324 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.519 in any moment, like he could have an injury and 325 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:37.279 never play again. That's a I mean, I doubt that happens, 326 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:40.200 Hoby doesn't happen. But the fact that they made this 327 00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:45.799 trade and didn't include any like future lottery picks, future 328 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:49.639 first round picks, protected picks, yeah, like future assets. I mean, 329 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:54.200 it's malpractice. So right now they don't control their own 330 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:57.919 first round draft picks in twenty twenty seven, twenty twenty eight, 331 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.519 twenty twenty nine, and twenty thirty, so they've got two 332 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.320 drafts coming up. And again if they're competing, which again, 333 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:07.240 they made this move because I guess they feel. 334 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.799 Like they can win now. I mean, they've got old. 335 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.120 I mean again, these guys aren't ancient, but Klay Thompson 336 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.399 is old. For an NBA player. Anthony Davis is on 337 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.960 the older side, he's certainly not young, and Kyrie Irving 338 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:22.440 is a little bit younger. In fact, No, Kyrie's older 339 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:23.320 than Ad, isn't he. 340 00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:23.919 Yeah. 341 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:27.240 Yeah, So like they're like they're trying to win now, 342 00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:31.200 Therefore these picks they do have in two thousand and five, 343 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.960 this year and next year in twenty twenty six, two thousand, 344 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.399 twenty five and twenty six, if they're if they're competing 345 00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:38.279 like they want to, they're gonna get bad picks. 346 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:39.600 They're not gonna get early picks. 347 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.519 They're not gonna get lottery picks, right because they're gonna 348 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:42.639 be if their goal. 349 00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.159 Like this just made no sense at all. 350 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.679 And they also, I mean again, like you can't make 351 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:50.639 this stuff up, Like this is one of those things 352 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.080 where you start to think, like are they like are 353 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.200 they trying to sabotage themselves? 354 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.840 Is this you know? Is this? Uh? 355 00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.679 Is this part of some like bigger plan to where 356 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.919 they and like maybe the team gets sold or something 357 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.440 like that, because this just seems almost unreal. But they 358 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:11.799 have increased their ticket prices wow for next year, Like 359 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.799 they're telling all these season ticket holders whenever you whenever 360 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.120 you you know, whenever you end up renewing your tickets. 361 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.559 If you do, it's gonna be more expensive. Yeah, they're 362 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:24.480 just this is this is let's see where did this 363 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:26.679 come from? Might have been one of the beat writers. 364 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.240 And this is MAVs Film Room dot com. It's a 365 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.720 website who covers the MAVs. They have been documenting this 366 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.519 disastrous pr run for the Mavericks. Uh, and they've decided 367 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.639 to again raise their ticket prices eight percent for next season. 368 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:43.559 So and they've told their uh, they told their fans 369 00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:45.919 they're doing it so they can quote invest in the team. 370 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:52.120 And I mean what I mean it's Anthony Davis gets 371 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:54.240 hurt as soon as he gets traded after one good 372 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:55.639 game and he's still out. 373 00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:57.399 Now Kyrie's out for the year. 374 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:00.759 Uh, there's no In fact, I think even one of 375 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.039 their it might have It wasn't their GM, Nico, but 376 00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:06.279 it was. And by the way, he's now a known 377 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:08.559 name because of this deal. Right, like a lot of people, 378 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:11.839 myself included, didn't really know who their GM was just 379 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:13.400 because I don't keep up with it and I don't care. 380 00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:14.880 But now I know who he is because he's the 381 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.400 guy that I now will remember that made this trade. 382 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:20.640 That phone in absolutely backfired. But yeah, they've got one 383 00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:23.000 of their one of their owners. You know, at least 384 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.079 did acknowledge. And it's not worth much, but at least 385 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.759 it's it's some acknowledgment that, yeah, they they. 386 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:30.640 Were a little bit, they were a little bit. 387 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:32.640 They knew they would be some pushback, but not to 388 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.480 the extent of what they've heard from their own fans 389 00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.359 as far as like, yeah, this was a disaster. I mean, 390 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:40.400 got to keep in mind, like there's younger fans of 391 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:44.240 the Mavericks that like Luca was the guy, right, Like 392 00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:47.279 they didn't see good Dirk, right, they were all. 393 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:50.440 In on Luca. Who you know was I mean. 394 00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:55.240 It it's obvious that he isn't a great defensive player 395 00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:57.559 and he did not have it wasn't a good look 396 00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:59.920 for him in the finals last year where Jalen Brown 397 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:02.880 just you know, abused him, but like he still was 398 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:05.000 the biggest factor in how you were able to get 399 00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:09.920 to the NBA finals. And you know, even if I 400 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.759 just I doubt there's gonna be anything that happens where 401 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:14.680
