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 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick coffee.

3
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get it started the five o'clock hour

4
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:37.280
<v Speaker 2>here on a Thursday afternoon, coffee and company fueled by

5
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety. Appreciate you hanging out

6
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:44.799
<v Speaker 2>with us. I'm refreshing this story at WLKY because it

7
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.119
<v Speaker 2>did say at the bottom here that they will continue

8
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:49.679
<v Speaker 2>to update the story, and there's been no update yet,

9
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 2>which is no update a good update when it comes

10
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 2>to the JCPS back to school stuff. So we talked

11
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 2>about it at the beginning of the show. I know

12
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 2>nobody tunes in to this show to hear about the

13
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.719
<v Speaker 2>JCPS back to school situation, but it did become a

14
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:04.760
<v Speaker 2>national story a year ago. And I know there's a

15
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of people listening that have children in JCPS, or

16
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 2>maybe they have grandchildren, nieces, nephews, maybe they are teachers,

17
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 2>and you know, it impacts a lot of people when

18
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 2>it's the biggest school district in this state and it's

19
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:21.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's not even close, to be honest with you,

20
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.000
<v Speaker 2>and with last year being so bad, clearly there was

21
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.719
<v Speaker 2>going to be a lot of eyeballs and attention on

22
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:29.560
<v Speaker 2>the back to on the first day back to school

23
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.159
<v Speaker 2>this year, and I feel like, you know, less, I'm

24
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.120
<v Speaker 2>missing something. It's been very smooth considered, you know, if

25
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.920
<v Speaker 2>you compare it to last year, and yeah, four thirty,

26
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 2>let's see here, maybe we do have an update. Yeah,

27
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.719
<v Speaker 2>it says school's let out at two ten and the

28
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.879
<v Speaker 2>latest dismissal for school was four twenty, so about forty

29
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 2>five minutes roughly have has has it been since every

30
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.319
<v Speaker 2>school has let out? It says that around four thirty

31
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 2>more parents began reaching out about long lines at some

32
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>schools for pickup, but they also said but several also

33
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>said things were running smoothly where they were, And again

34
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>that's good because last year, of course, you know, some

35
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 2>kids didn't get dropped off until around ten pm. So

36
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure not everybody's made it home yet. And there's

37
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 2>no scenario where any school system has the perfect day

38
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:24.120
<v Speaker 2>when they all go back to school. But I think

39
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:26.719
<v Speaker 2>we're getting closer to be able to say job well

40
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.879
<v Speaker 2>done for JCPS. I think saying it now we might

41
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.719
<v Speaker 2>be speaking a little too soon. But you know, so far,

42
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:34.080
<v Speaker 2>so far, so good.

43
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 3>Like if we get here tomorrow and we find out

44
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 3>that the last kid was dropped off at you know,

45
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 3>at least relatively close to when they're supposed to. That's

46
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 3>a job well done.

47
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you know I always hesitate to, you know,

48
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>throw a party for somebody for doing something that they're

49
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 2>supposed to do. But like, clearly, if it was easy

50
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:57.159
<v Speaker 2>to you know, implement a perfect scenario where kids can

51
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 2>get to school on time with no issue and the

52
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>US routes and have a staff of drivers that you know,

53
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 2>the amount of drivers that you need. Like, clearly, it's

54
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 2>not been easy, but you know, there's a lot of

55
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.039
<v Speaker 2>people that have been working tirelessly to try to get

56
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.159
<v Speaker 2>this thing, you know, in a situation to where it's

57
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.919
<v Speaker 2>not a national story, you don't have as many parents complaining.

58
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.639
<v Speaker 2>You're always gonna have some parents complaining. But by the

59
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>looks of it, when I go to this this Facebook

60
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 2>thread at wlky where they ask JCPS parents essentially you know,

61
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 2>how's the day going, I'm scrolling here and again I

62
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 2>continue to see mostly positive updates from parents, which is,

63
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, to be honest with you, a big surprise,

64
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 2>A big surprise for me. Now we did us some

65
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 2>people on the text line when I when I was

66
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 2>when I was talking earlier about how you know, even

67
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.479
<v Speaker 2>if you don't have anybody within the school system that

68
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.759
<v Speaker 2>you you know, your kid, your grandkids, you know, you're

69
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 2>don you don't work in the school system. You know,

70
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:53.759
<v Speaker 2>just out of sight, out of mind, you wouldn't. Well,

71
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:55.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad you people puted this out on the text

72
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 2>line because you're right with you. When you have nobody

73
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 2>involved in the school system and it's out of sight,

74
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 2>out of mind, when you do realize.

75
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:05.520
<v Speaker 3>That school is back, is traffic.

76
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, morning commutes in the early morning are different

77
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 2>when school's going on. I forgot about that because you know,

78
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I haven't worked in the mornings in quite some time.

79
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.360
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, in the afternoons, I mean it's there's a

80
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.000
<v Speaker 2>lot more people out driving with buses and you know,

81
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean just think about this, like, think about all

82
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 2>the people that work at JCPS throughout the city of

83
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Louisville that get off school at two something, three something

84
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.560
<v Speaker 2>for something like that is an insane amount of people

85
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.160
<v Speaker 2>that are just out on the road driving themselves from

86
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 2>work that in the summer. I mean not to say

87
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.600
<v Speaker 2>they're not out doing stuff I'm sure they're not all

88
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 2>just sitting at home, but you know.

89
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 3>It's just also not a schedule at the same time exactly,

90
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:47.000
<v Speaker 3>so I'm sure they'll be traffic.

91
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 2>And it does sound like the biggest complaint is just

92
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 2>the adjustment of having so many more car riders than

93
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:55.240
<v Speaker 2>what they used to have, because again, one of the

94
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 2>things that JCPS did was they no longer have busing

95
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:04.040
<v Speaker 2>for the traditional schools and the Magnet schools most of them.

96
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.000
<v Speaker 2>That is so big influx of car riders, which again

97
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.040
<v Speaker 2>is just gonna you know, with it being the first

98
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 2>time they've probably had this many car writers, they're probably

99
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.759
<v Speaker 2>learning throughout these first couple of days as far as

100
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>what's going to be the best strategy to get people

101
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 2>in and out as smooth as possible. When it comes

102
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 2>to the car rider line. At my kids elementary school,

103
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 2>they've changed that whole plan a few different times over

104
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>the years, because you know, you're just trying your best

105
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:30.720
<v Speaker 2>to make it as smooth as possible to get kids

106
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.360
<v Speaker 2>into school on time and get you know, parents out

107
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 2>of there to where they can go and you know,

108
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 2>start their day or you know, end their day by

109
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:38.199
<v Speaker 2>picking up the kids from school.

110
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.000
<v Speaker 3>So so far, so good.

111
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:42.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to wait until tomorrow before we give them

112
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>a full on, like, you know, hell yeah, you guys

113
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.680
<v Speaker 2>did a great job. Wait to bounce back after making

114
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>national news last year for you know, all the wrong reasons.

115
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Because that's exactly what they're waiting to hear. They need

116
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 3>the Coffee and Company. Yeah, exactly.

117
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I know when Marty Poyle started the

118
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>week knowing that Thursday was the day, he was hoping, Man,

119
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.519
<v Speaker 2>I just hope we can make Coffee and Company and

120
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:04.959
<v Speaker 2>their listeners proud at getting these kids back to school.

121
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:06.920
<v Speaker 2>And I'll tell you already, so far, looks like your

122
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:09.319
<v Speaker 2>team's done a great job. Let's let's hope you guys,

123
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:10.560
<v Speaker 2>hope you guys finished strong.

124
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.120
<v Speaker 3>Remember when we had a bus driver call in last year.

125
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

126
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he was kind of giving us some feedback

127
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.600
<v Speaker 2>as to like, you know, how they just didn't have

128
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.480
<v Speaker 2>any if I remember correctly, it was mostly just about

129
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 2>how they don't have enough people, right, Like, it was

130
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 2>just essentially that they cannot get enough people to do it.

131
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 2>And he also I think acknowledged some things that have

132
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>been discussed and even reported on that it's not an

133
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.920
<v Speaker 2>attractive job because of the behavior of a lot of

134
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:43.160
<v Speaker 2>the kids at times. So you know, I I remember

135
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 2>feeling very bad for everybody involved about this, Not to

136
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.319
<v Speaker 2>say that they didn't deserve criticism, because again, like it's

137
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:49.879
<v Speaker 2>their job to get this stuff figured out, and they

138
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.480
<v Speaker 2>weren't doing their job well. But I think some of

139
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.959
<v Speaker 2>the issues that led to it just being a mess

140
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.560
<v Speaker 2>were I mean I kind of felt like, what do

141
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.560
<v Speaker 2>you want them to do? Right, Like, I mean I

142
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.759
<v Speaker 2>want to go there, But like I think, sometimes these

143
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:08.160
<v Speaker 2>jobs and these situation I'm just being created.

144
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 3>That AI generated bus route, yeah, well that.

145
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Was a disaster and that was a goof too. And

146
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.759
<v Speaker 2>they did that because they didn't have enough drivers. That

147
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 2>was the reason they went to that plan. Anyway, They

148
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.040
<v Speaker 2>just had a tough time getting drivers and they decided

149
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 2>to do something that I think it was Boston that

150
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.680
<v Speaker 2>it did it, and Boston had a terrible experience, and

151
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.160
<v Speaker 2>they still decided to use this contractor that yeah, used

152
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.560
<v Speaker 2>artificial intelligence to kind of help route the routes for

153
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:34.600
<v Speaker 2>the buses. But you know, parents got to do their

154
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.000
<v Speaker 2>part two, if that makes sense. I mean, they can't

155
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.720
<v Speaker 2>be with them at school, but like, I think some

156
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.879
<v Speaker 2>of the reason that you see people not wanting to

157
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.480
<v Speaker 2>be in the education business anymore, if you want to

158
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.879
<v Speaker 2>call it that, but being in public education rather be

159
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.879
<v Speaker 2>being a teacher or working for a school in any role,

160
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.439
<v Speaker 2>is because like it's not a lucrative job by any means,

161
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.439
<v Speaker 2>and dealing with really really badly behaved kids, dangerous kids

162
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.199
<v Speaker 2>even like that's like people are gonna do that. I mean,

163
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.160
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna un else they have to or unless they

164
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.160
<v Speaker 2>just love the job. And man, you gotta love it

165
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 2>a lot if you're dealing with some of the things

166
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.360
<v Speaker 2>that that some of these these people have had to

167
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:13.519
<v Speaker 2>deal with. So anyways, so far, so good, all right

168
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.800
<v Speaker 2>for those just not joining us. Some good news on

169
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.759
<v Speaker 2>the Louisville basketball front for fans. Louisville Live is coming back.

170
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.240
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna bring it back after last year not having it,

171
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.600
<v Speaker 2>uh and it's gonna be for the first time ever

172
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 2>at the KFCM Center, which I'm I'm assuming there's there's

173
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:29.839
<v Speaker 2>a lot of benefits to having it in your home arena.

174
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 2>I think you're gonna have to stage the place creatively,

175
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:36.559
<v Speaker 2>uh to you know, to to to have a good

176
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:40.159
<v Speaker 2>looking crowd. But maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I'm underestimating fans

177
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.120
<v Speaker 2>and their eagerness to get out and and see this team.

178
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:47.120
<v Speaker 2>It won't be a game and there's no competition, but

179
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:50.480
<v Speaker 2>it's really a pep rally, a pep rally on steroids

180
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:55.120
<v Speaker 2>where you get to, you know, see these players be introduced.

181
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.080
<v Speaker 2>They entertain as best they can with you know, I mean,

182
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.879
<v Speaker 2>you see dancing, you see you know, it's just a party.

183
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.200
<v Speaker 2>And I know that those fans that watched this team

184
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.159
<v Speaker 2>in the Bahamas, I know a lot of them are

185
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.919
<v Speaker 2>probably more eager to go to Louisville Live now than

186
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.519
<v Speaker 2>they were before because not that they weren't excited but

187
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.080
<v Speaker 2>before the Bahamas trip, but I would say they're even

188
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.320
<v Speaker 2>more excited now after how this team looked. So maybe

189
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.559
<v Speaker 2>they just close off the upper area and you sell

190
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.399
<v Speaker 2>out the lower bowl of the And if that's the case,

191
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 2>it's going to look great in there. And it really

192
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.320
<v Speaker 2>is all about look And that's why I love when

193
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:31.639
<v Speaker 2>they did it at for Street at Churchill Downs. I

194
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.759
<v Speaker 2>did not see it at Slugger and I didn't hear

195
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:35.759
<v Speaker 2>that it was great there. But you know, I don't

196
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:37.879
<v Speaker 2>know that for certain, because again I wasn't there, But

197
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:39.799
<v Speaker 2>it looks so cool at Churchill, looks so cool here

198
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.000
<v Speaker 2>at Force Street where we are, and I'm assuming there's

199
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>again my just a guess here. They don't have to

200
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.759
<v Speaker 2>pay money to go rent out the UMP Center. They

201
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:51.399
<v Speaker 2>would have to pay money to Force Street, they'd have

202
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:53.440
<v Speaker 2>to pay money to Churchill, they'd have to pay money elsewhere.

203
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.600
<v Speaker 2>And not to say that they're running out of money,

204
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:59.519
<v Speaker 2>but it's quite clear every university's athletic department is going

205
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.679
<v Speaker 2>to have to be very very careful how they spend money,

206
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:06.519
<v Speaker 2>because again you need to start saving and start bringing

207
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:08.720
<v Speaker 2>in more, because soon you will be on the hook

208
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.399
<v Speaker 2>to pay twenty two million annually two year student athletes,

209
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:14.080
<v Speaker 2>which again that's not gonna be easy for anybody to do.

210
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.279
<v Speaker 2>So maybe they'll eventually go back to doing it elsewhere

211
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:19.519
<v Speaker 2>down the road, but it being at the UM Center

212
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 2>could be pretty cool, and it'll go Tickets go on

213
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:25.919
<v Speaker 2>sale in September. The date is October the fourth, though,

214
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 2>and it'll set up for a nice week and Louisville

215
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:30.879
<v Speaker 2>will be hosting SMU and football that Saturday, so I

216
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.519
<v Speaker 2>would imagine that'll be a big weekend of visitors for

217
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:36.440
<v Speaker 2>really all sports, not just Pat Kelsey and his crew,

218
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:39.000
<v Speaker 2>but I'm sure you'll have Jeff Walls. Of course, they're

219
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:40.519
<v Speaker 2>going to be a part of the Louisville Live event

220
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:42.159
<v Speaker 2>as well. They always are and they always put on

221
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 2>a show. So I'm glad they're bringing it back. And

222
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:50.039
<v Speaker 2>for what this event is for, meaning, it's a pep

223
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.480
<v Speaker 2>rally to get people excited about the upcoming season. It's

224
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:57.159
<v Speaker 2>like the official tip off. I mean, things are already

225
00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:59.919
<v Speaker 2>in a good place as far as energy, enthusiasm, morale,

226
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 2>but you know, maybe it hits an even new level

227
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.159
<v Speaker 2>once we get to October the fourth. Really really looking

228
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.200
<v Speaker 2>forward to it, all right. Somebody had asked earlier on

229
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:14.200
<v Speaker 2>the text line why Rick Patino was so against doing

230
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:16.240
<v Speaker 2>an event like this, and I've never known the answer

231
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.919
<v Speaker 2>at all to that, and only he could speak to it.

232
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 2>But they did what was I believe called Matine Madness

233
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 2>with Louisville Basketball when Rick was either in his first

234
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:34.600
<v Speaker 2>or second year something like that. I mean, this was

235
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:37.399
<v Speaker 2>we're talking twenty plus years ago, so there probably isn't

236
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.960
<v Speaker 2>any references to it, you know, on the internet. But

237
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.879
<v Speaker 2>they did it at the Exposition Center and Patino showed

238
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 2>up in a limousine, and I remember being there sitting

239
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:49.960
<v Speaker 2>front row. I was a young kid. I was there

240
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.679
<v Speaker 2>with my father and my sister, and I believe my uncle,

241
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:57.759
<v Speaker 2>who really is, is the reason, one of the big

242
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:00.519
<v Speaker 2>reasons why, you know, my father became such a diehard

243
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.639
<v Speaker 2>Louisville fan, and of course, you know, it led to

244
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.919
<v Speaker 2>me and now my son's all into it, so like

245
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.080
<v Speaker 2>it's a family thing for us. But my uncle Wayne

246
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:11.399
<v Speaker 2>is a big part of that. And I remember we

247
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.080
<v Speaker 2>were there and I'm thinking, man, this is cool as

248
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>can be, Like these players are getting introduced. I mean,

249
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.360
<v Speaker 2>it's a big show. But apparently it was not well attended.

250
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:23.559
<v Speaker 2>And I guess Rick was bothered by that, because you

251
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:25.879
<v Speaker 2>got to keep in mind he had been a part

252
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.759
<v Speaker 2>of big Blue Madness. I would assume, like I imagine

253
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:30.200
<v Speaker 2>they still did that when Rick was there. I don't

254
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.000
<v Speaker 2>know when that thing started, but I would imagine when

255
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:34.639
<v Speaker 2>Rick was at Kentucky, you know, that thing was probably

256
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.919
<v Speaker 2>at its peak. And then to have the first ever

257
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.159
<v Speaker 2>one for Louisville and it be done at the Exposition

258
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Center or the Convention Center.

259
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:44.960
<v Speaker 3>Actually, and yeah, I think it was the Convention Center.

260
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:47.759
<v Speaker 2>And I thought it was awesome as a young kid,

261
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:50.720
<v Speaker 2>but apparently it was not well attended, and Rick was like, nope,

262
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.120
<v Speaker 2>we're not doing that ever again. So look these things,

263
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, these things are important. I don't want to overstate,

264
00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.399
<v Speaker 2>like if you don't have one of these, you'll never

265
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.759
<v Speaker 2>get recruits. But man, it's an opportunity to really show off.

266
00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:05.759
<v Speaker 2>And I think Louisville basketball is a program that has

267
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:10.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot to show off when it comes to history facilities,

268
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.840
<v Speaker 2>with the young center, passionate fan base, I mean, you

269
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.879
<v Speaker 2>should utilize what you have and really put on a

270
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:22.120
<v Speaker 2>show with events like this to you know, I mean,

271
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:23.840
<v Speaker 2>all it can do is help you show off to

272
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.159
<v Speaker 2>potential fans and of course potential potential players, players who

273
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 2>visit things like that. I mean the images and the

274
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:35.679
<v Speaker 2>videos that surfaced following the Louisville Lives that took place

275
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:37.879
<v Speaker 2>at four Street, the ones at Churchill, I mean, those

276
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:40.879
<v Speaker 2>things are I mean, they look amazing and you can

277
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:42.679
<v Speaker 2>never have too much of that stuff that makes you know,

278
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.919
<v Speaker 2>makes you look good. All right, again, it's coffee and Company.

279
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.200
<v Speaker 2>We are feel about Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

280
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate you guys hanging out with us. Here on a

281
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.559
<v Speaker 2>Thursday afternoon. Been busy throughout the show today, which I

282
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.440
<v Speaker 2>think is a good thing. Time flies when you know

283
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.399
<v Speaker 2>when you're having fun. We did in the four o'clock

284
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:03.159
<v Speaker 2>hour kind of doing a live look in as the

285
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.840
<v Speaker 2>men's The United States men's basketball team had a big comeback.

286
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean they were getting they were getting hammered, literally

287
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:14.879
<v Speaker 2>getting blown out by Serbia jokicch I didn't see his

288
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:18.559
<v Speaker 2>stat line, but obviously he's a multi time MVP, and

289
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:20.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, one of the best players on the planet

290
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:25.039
<v Speaker 2>and his team was given Team USA the absolute business.

291
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:27.799
<v Speaker 2>And to see the Team USA was able to come

292
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 2>back and win it was kind of awesome. It It

293
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.759
<v Speaker 2>was an unfamiliar situation for me watching the United States

294
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:37.240
<v Speaker 2>men's basketball team, you know, need a big time comeback

295
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:39.639
<v Speaker 2>to kind of keep the gold medal hope alive. Usually

296
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:44.120
<v Speaker 2>when you watch them play, they're dominating. I mean, I mean,

297
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I can't think of many games I've watched where it's

298
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:49.120
<v Speaker 2>getting close late and you felt like they may lose. Well,

299
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:52.799
<v Speaker 2>if you watched the majority of the if you watch

300
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.000
<v Speaker 2>the majority of the second half, you felt like they

301
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.799
<v Speaker 2>were going to lose. I mean even towards the very end,

302
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:00.759
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't completely you know, wouldn't come letely wrapped up.

303
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 2>It took some free throws down the line, down the

304
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.080
<v Speaker 2>stretch there from Steph Curry to to kind of give

305
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:06.600
<v Speaker 2>you a little bit more comfort. But I mean, to

306
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.840
<v Speaker 2>the very end, it was it looked like it was

307
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:12.200
<v Speaker 2>going to be a potential loss and they were able to, uh,

308
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:13.879
<v Speaker 2>they were able to come back and get it done,

309
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:16.559
<v Speaker 2>which you know, that's the expectation, that's what you know,

310
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.080
<v Speaker 2>that's what that's what you should do. Hopefully that hopefully

311
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:21.720
<v Speaker 2>that uh, let me see what I'm trying to see

312
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:23.120
<v Speaker 2>what the rest of the schedule is for them.

313
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:27.720
<v Speaker 3>Let's see here. I believe, so the France defeated Germany

314
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:30.039
<v Speaker 3>in the other semi final, and they'll take on France

315
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.960
<v Speaker 3>in the gold medal matchup there we go, so that

316
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.679
<v Speaker 3>they'll be technically the away team in this since Paris

317
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:37.080
<v Speaker 3>is hosting. Yep.

318
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, So I just was referencing the stats here

319
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:42.360
<v Speaker 2>just to make sure I wasn't crazy because one of

320
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:44.600
<v Speaker 2>the guys on this team that gets criticized, in fact,

321
00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:46.240
<v Speaker 2>I think it's safe to say he gets criticized more

322
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.000
<v Speaker 2>than anybody is Joel embiid uh. And you know, he had,

323
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:55.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, the best game of his career against Jokic.

324
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:56.879
<v Speaker 2>And and I don't mean the best game of his

325
00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:59.240
<v Speaker 2>career overall. I mean just I guess in you know,

326
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:03.200
<v Speaker 2>in Olympic play. But he had nineteen points and really

327
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.279
<v Speaker 2>ignited that second half push to to kind of put

328
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.200
<v Speaker 2>them put them over there, put them over the top.

329
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Lebron James only his fourth triple double and Olympic only

330
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.600
<v Speaker 2>the fourth triple double in Olympic history. Sixteen points, twelve boards,

331
00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:19.600
<v Speaker 2>ten assists, So yeah, it was nice to see them

332
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:22.279
<v Speaker 2>them come from behind. But it was Steph Curry who

333
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.480
<v Speaker 2>had you know who did Steph Curry things? Thirty six points.

334
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:28.279
<v Speaker 2>He made nine of fourteen from three, and again his

335
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.360
<v Speaker 2>two free throws down the stretch really really sealed the victory.

336
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:33.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you don't want to be in that position,

337
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:33.879
<v Speaker 2>but that was fun.

338
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:35.519
<v Speaker 3>Man. I can't you know, I you know, I.

339
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.000
<v Speaker 2>You usually never really feel like you got to be

340
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:41.639
<v Speaker 2>on the edge of your seat for these things. And

341
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:43.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say we take it for granted,

342
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:45.720
<v Speaker 2>but maybe we do, right, I mean, whenever it's become

343
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.919
<v Speaker 2>such a consistent thing that you dominate the basketball portion

344
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:51.320
<v Speaker 2>of the Olympics. You're you know, you're proud of that,

345
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:53.639
<v Speaker 2>and it's awesome, but it kind of leads to where

346
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:56.120
<v Speaker 2>there's not a ton of intrigue, right, Like, usually the

347
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:59.480
<v Speaker 2>games are blowouts, and this one was not. It was

348
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.000
<v Speaker 2>a blowout up for a good chunk of the game,

349
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.599
<v Speaker 2>but the United States team was on the wrong side

350
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.279
<v Speaker 2>of it until they rallied and came from behind.

351
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:08.160
<v Speaker 3>All right.

352
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:13.279
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of lebron James, it's already happening once again with

353
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.079
<v Speaker 2>his with his other son obviously, Bronnie James has been

354
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.039
<v Speaker 2>one of the most talked about athletes of the summer because,

355
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:23.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, despite having really no credentials, he was drafted.

356
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:25.759
<v Speaker 2>We all know why he was drafted. He was drafted

357
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:29.640
<v Speaker 2>because his dad's Lebron James. Some clear nepotism going on.

358
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:31.160
<v Speaker 2>He got a contract that had a lot of money

359
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:34.440
<v Speaker 2>guaranteed that you don't see anybody else in his position,

360
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:37.160
<v Speaker 2>meaning a guy drafted at that spot get that much

361
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:39.319
<v Speaker 2>of a guarantee. And he did. You know why, because

362
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:43.920
<v Speaker 2>his dad is Lebron James. Well, Bryce is the younger

363
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:49.279
<v Speaker 2>brother of Bronnie, and he has skyrocketed to become a

364
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:54.359
<v Speaker 2>top one hundred recruit in the latest ON three rankings,

365
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:58.599
<v Speaker 2>and that has become, you know, a big talking point

366
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:05.160
<v Speaker 2>because it's as egregious as Ronnie James being a five

367
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:09.319
<v Speaker 2>star McDonald's All American with really not any reason behind it.

368
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.680
<v Speaker 2>So Bryce has jumped up to number one hundred overall

369
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.599
<v Speaker 2>by ON three in the twenty twenty five class after

370
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.759
<v Speaker 2>participating on the Nike EYBL circuit. He plays for I

371
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.599
<v Speaker 2>guess the club that's called Strife for Greatness. Again, he's

372
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:28.000
<v Speaker 2>been elevated now to the number one hundred player and

373
00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:29.079
<v Speaker 2>he's a four star kid.

374
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:31.160
<v Speaker 3>And on this circuit.

375
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.720
<v Speaker 2>He averaged five points and two rebounds at the Peach

376
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.599
<v Speaker 2>Jam on the UYBL circuit, so five points, two boards

377
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:44.839
<v Speaker 2>and this guy's a four star player, top one hundred,

378
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:49.680
<v Speaker 2>and we all know why because he's Lebron James's son.

379
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:53.319
<v Speaker 2>But my question is those of you that rank players,

380
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:55.119
<v Speaker 2>and I know it's not just one guy, but if

381
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:58.720
<v Speaker 2>you work for ON three rivals twenty four to seven

382
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:03.640
<v Speaker 2>sports esp in, are you being nudged by your editors

383
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.000
<v Speaker 2>and bosses to include Lebron's kids because it could lead

384
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.119
<v Speaker 2>to more traffic? Like what do you get out of it,

385
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:12.440
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, Like, there's there's some belief

386
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.720
<v Speaker 2>that Jonathan Givoni, who works for ESPN, who really started

387
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:19.039
<v Speaker 2>the whole Bronni James thing, right like last summer he

388
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:21.319
<v Speaker 2>had him in his lock his his mock draft in

389
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:23.960
<v Speaker 2>the lottery, and that led to people thinking, oh, wow,

390
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Lebron's son must really kind of be coming on because

391
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.359
<v Speaker 2>at that point, you're only watching him in highlights in

392
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:33.599
<v Speaker 2>high school, right, Like it's tough to know you hadn't

393
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:35.279
<v Speaker 2>been able to see him playing in college, and you

394
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:36.759
<v Speaker 2>haven't been able to I mean just you know, you

395
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:38.799
<v Speaker 2>don't know. You're just thinking, okay, with the kid, must

396
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:41.359
<v Speaker 2>be pretty good. He's Lebron James's son, and he's you know,

397
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:43.799
<v Speaker 2>got the size and athleticism. Well, then you see Bronnie

398
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:46.400
<v Speaker 2>James against other McDonald's Americans, and then of course you

399
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:48.319
<v Speaker 2>watch him at USC and clearly he was not a

400
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:51.039
<v Speaker 2>high He wasn't a very impactful player. Doesn't mean he'll

401
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:54.559
<v Speaker 2>never be successful at some at some level in the NBA,

402
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:58.720
<v Speaker 2>but like it was quite clear. So Jonathan Givoni really

403
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:01.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of created the bron James is going to be

404
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:03.920
<v Speaker 2>a was is going to be a notable, uh you know,

405
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:10.720
<v Speaker 2>draft you know, draftable player and whatnot. Whereas he probably

406
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:14.640
<v Speaker 2>benefited that I mean meaning Gravoni probably benefited from doing

407
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.400
<v Speaker 2>that by maybe getting some access to Lebron. Maybe I

408
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:19.359
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I don't want to allege that he got

409
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:22.839
<v Speaker 2>paid to do it. But you know, like, this kid

410
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:24.799
<v Speaker 2>is in the twenty twenty five class, so he's going

411
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:26.640
<v Speaker 2>to be a senior next year. And there's not been

412
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:30.279
<v Speaker 2>near the hype for for Bryce as there was Bronni

413
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.160
<v Speaker 2>because most don't believe that that the two are I mean,

414
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:36.319
<v Speaker 2>or the same level of player. And yet now here

415
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:39.319
<v Speaker 2>we go again, another guy getting a lot of hype

416
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:42.039
<v Speaker 2>and the only reason behind it is because of his

417
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:47.319
<v Speaker 2>last name and who his dad is. But I'm now wondering, Okay,

418
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.079
<v Speaker 2>what do we like, what do we get out of this? Like,

419
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:56.440
<v Speaker 2>especially knowing that the majority of the conversation about Lebron

420
00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:58.680
<v Speaker 2>and his son Bronni has been like this is this

421
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:03.240
<v Speaker 2>is insane, it's ridiculous, it's nepotism. Would I would actually

422
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:05.640
<v Speaker 2>think that those that ranked players would learn from that

423
00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:07.519
<v Speaker 2>and think, yeah, we probably should be a little bit

424
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.599
<v Speaker 2>more careful and not get enamored by who's who's the

425
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:14.599
<v Speaker 2>parents of these players and really only rank them and

426
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:16.960
<v Speaker 2>evaluate them based off of, you know, what they do

427
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.960
<v Speaker 2>on the court and what their true potential is as

428
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:23.039
<v Speaker 2>basketball players. All right, let's get to our first break

429
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:25.400
<v Speaker 2>here in the five o'clock hour. We'll keep it rolling along,

430
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:28.680
<v Speaker 2>taking you up till six o'clock. So hang out, snick

431
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:33.640
<v Speaker 2>around right here on Sports Talk seven to ninety. So,

432
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.400
<v Speaker 2>with the economy being you know what it is, there's

433
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:41.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people who are relying on second jobs

434
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:46.039
<v Speaker 2>or just a side hustle that's not technically a job

435
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:48.200
<v Speaker 2>that is even part time, but it's just something you

436
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.319
<v Speaker 2>do to make money. And there's a new breakdown here

437
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:56.519
<v Speaker 2>from Forbes that tells us the top ten most popular

438
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.720
<v Speaker 2>side hustles in the United States. Any yes, is John

439
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:02.200
<v Speaker 2>what some of these would be?

440
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:05.359
<v Speaker 3>I bet the top is either like Uber driver or

441
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:07.359
<v Speaker 3>door dash Deliver, one of those two.

442
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Ride share driver is number one. That is, I mean,

443
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:14.559
<v Speaker 2>I should know this, but I don't. Can you do

444
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:15.960
<v Speaker 2>that as your full time job?

445
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:17.000
<v Speaker 3>There are people who do.

446
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:20.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm just curious, like what kind of like

447
00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:21.920
<v Speaker 2>is it?

448
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Is it sustainable? You know what I mean?

449
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Like if you stay busy all day, every day doing it.

450
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I would assume you can make you can

451
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:28.839
<v Speaker 2>make a decent living.

452
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:32.559
<v Speaker 3>I bet if you're a single person or maybe just

453
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.319
<v Speaker 3>a you know, a couple that doesn't have kids, it's

454
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:37.720
<v Speaker 3>probably sustainable. But if you've got a big family, maybe

455
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:39.200
<v Speaker 3>it's a little different. I'm sure. Yeah.

456
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:42.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean I remember in certain cities I would get

457
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:45.720
<v Speaker 2>an Uber and throughout the conversation with said uber driver,

458
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:48.519
<v Speaker 2>I would learn that they actually live, you know, a

459
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:51.640
<v Speaker 2>few hours away or a city over, and they spend

460
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:55.920
<v Speaker 2>the weekend in a big city that always needs somebody

461
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 2>to you know, if you're in Chicago or a city

462
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.960
<v Speaker 2>of that size, I mean, you can probably head into

463
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:08.039
<v Speaker 2>town and if you want, drive all day and make money, right,

464
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:10.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm assuming there's enough need for them in

465
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:13.799
<v Speaker 2>certain places. But I never, like, I mean, I've I

466
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:18.160
<v Speaker 2>if I'm using Uber or Lyft, it's ninety nine percent

467
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:19.920
<v Speaker 2>of the time when I'm traveling, you know what I mean,

468
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:21.039
<v Speaker 2>It's not when I've turned.

469
00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:23.720
<v Speaker 3>You've never been in either an uber or a lyft before.

470
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:26.039
<v Speaker 2>I think you might have mentioned that before. Is it

471
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:28.200
<v Speaker 2>just because you haven't ever found yourself needing one?

472
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Like?

473
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:30.839
<v Speaker 3>I don't think you're not like antis, right. Oh, yeah,

474
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:32.799
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't do it, but I also wouldn't seek it out.

475
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 3>I would only use it if I absolutely had to.

476
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:39.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I've used it here in town whenever

477
00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:40.799
<v Speaker 2>I've went out, which is rare.

478
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:41.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean.

479
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Back whenever I would find myself occasionally going out and

480
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:49.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, for a late night at different bars or whatnot.

481
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:51.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, uber wasn't really a thing yet. We would

482
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:53.839
<v Speaker 2>you would literally rely on cabs or we'd have to

483
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:55.720
<v Speaker 2>call somebody to come get us, so we would have

484
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:59.680
<v Speaker 2>a designated driver. I mean it's, uh, it's much more

485
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:01.720
<v Speaker 2>convene to just you know, hop in an uber. But

486
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:02.920
<v Speaker 2>if you go with a bunch of people, then you

487
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:05.799
<v Speaker 2>have to get one that's uh that's you know, big

488
00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:08.599
<v Speaker 2>enough to hold like a van or something like that

489
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:10.799
<v Speaker 2>to hold enough people. But yeah, I mean I'm not

490
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:13.119
<v Speaker 2>surprised to see that as number one. But number two

491
00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:17.880
<v Speaker 2>is a YouTube content creator. So, like I do have

492
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:21.160
<v Speaker 2>a good understanding of Internet monetization, how you can how

493
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.599
<v Speaker 2>you can make money on the Internet with you know,

494
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:28.759
<v Speaker 2>advertising revenue, or you can share a code for some

495
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:31.359
<v Speaker 2>for somebody that you know follows your channel to purchase

496
00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:34.319
<v Speaker 2>something and you get you get like a small commission

497
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:36.240
<v Speaker 2>of that. But to see that that's number two, Like

498
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:38.839
<v Speaker 2>is there not? Are there that many people that are

499
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:39.200
<v Speaker 2>doing that?

500
00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:40.839
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I guess think about it. That's kind of

501
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:42.519
<v Speaker 3>what I'm doing now with the new show that I've

502
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:45.319
<v Speaker 3>got on YouTube impartners with the website. Yeah, but I

503
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:46.720
<v Speaker 3>mean I wouldn't call that.

504
00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:48.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess it is technically in that same

505
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:50.920
<v Speaker 2>space as far as YouTube content creation.

506
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:55.440
<v Speaker 3>It's definitely a different direction than probably the stereotypical YouTube

507
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:56.240
<v Speaker 3>content creator.

508
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:59.519
<v Speaker 2>But I just feel like for for ad revenue strictly

509
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:04.640
<v Speaker 2>from the YouTube itself, from your from your channel, like

510
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:07.279
<v Speaker 2>I think, to make you know, legitimate, and I shouldn't

511
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:09.960
<v Speaker 2>it because legitimate money, good money, bad money, that's all relative.

512
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.119
<v Speaker 2>It just depends on you know, who you're talking to,

513
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:15.079
<v Speaker 2>how they view money. But you know, you need to

514
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.880
<v Speaker 2>have like a good amount of followers and traffic to

515
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.039
<v Speaker 2>where it turns into where it's probably like because there's

516
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:22.279
<v Speaker 2>a lot of time that goes into that, you know

517
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:24.079
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, Like, if you're doing I just feel

518
00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:26.160
<v Speaker 2>like you'd have to put a lot of time into

519
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:31.039
<v Speaker 2>your YouTube content creation for it to be monetizable. And

520
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.519
<v Speaker 2>and at that point it comes down to, Okay, if

521
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:35.039
<v Speaker 2>this is a side hustle, is it getting in the

522
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:36.680
<v Speaker 2>way of like my real job, you know what I mean? So,

523
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.200
<v Speaker 2>but look, it's it's something, you know, I mean, I'm

524
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:43.240
<v Speaker 2>not surprised to see some type of content creation is

525
00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:44.799
<v Speaker 2>some of it. But it's just there's you know, I

526
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:46.559
<v Speaker 2>guess I'm a little out of touch as far as

527
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:49.079
<v Speaker 2>the ways you can truly, you know, make a buck

528
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.839
<v Speaker 2>or two doing that personal trainers, number three, number four

529
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:54.599
<v Speaker 2>as a virtual assistant, got to be honest with you,

530
00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:57.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't sure what that is. And then number five

531
00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:01.160
<v Speaker 2>as a life coach. Do you know any life coaches? John,

532
00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:02.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know any.

533
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:04.799
<v Speaker 3>I'm familiar that. That's uh. I hate to laugh. It

534
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:08.200
<v Speaker 3>sounds kind doing it, But I'm like, I don't want

535
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:10.319
<v Speaker 3>to call it a fake job because any people can

536
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:11.519
<v Speaker 3>say this is a fake job.

537
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:13.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is this a job? Are you getting paid?

538
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:17.960
<v Speaker 2>They're not paying me? I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I'm paid.

539
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:20.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm paid a hefty salary here from the fine folks

540
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:25.519
<v Speaker 2>at i Heeart Media. But yeah, I mean, I was

541
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:26.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna just say it now, I'm gonna be a little

542
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:28.720
<v Speaker 2>careful because I don't want to offend anybody, but like

543
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it is you got some balls on you

544
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:35.960
<v Speaker 2>to say you're qualified to coach someone in life. I'm sorry,

545
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:38.559
<v Speaker 2>I just think that that's like we should get a

546
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.960
<v Speaker 2>different term for the job, in my opinion, because I

547
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:45.319
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be able to take myself serious if I said

548
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:48.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm a life coach, because look, we're all figuring life

549
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:50.680
<v Speaker 2>out as we go, ladies and gentlemen. There's things that

550
00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:53.240
<v Speaker 2>are gonna hit you that you know, a coach ain't

551
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:57.839
<v Speaker 2>been in this situation before, right, And everybody's life is different.

552
00:26:57.839 --> 00:26:59.839
<v Speaker 2>So if you're a life coach, like, how do I

553
00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:01.240
<v Speaker 2>know you can coach my life?

554
00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:03.400
<v Speaker 3>How do you know? Maybe you have been in my shoes.

555
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:05.920
<v Speaker 3>Maybe we can. We come from different paths. I don't know.

556
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:09.200
<v Speaker 2>I know I know of some people, not close friends

557
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:10.680
<v Speaker 2>or anything like that, but I know of some people

558
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.480
<v Speaker 2>who have kind of like made that their whole personality

559
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:20.240
<v Speaker 2>that they're life coaches. And I'm like, you ain't got

560
00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:23.000
<v Speaker 2>no business coaching anybody in life, like I know about

561
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.400
<v Speaker 2>your life, and I don't know. I just it's always

562
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:27.480
<v Speaker 2>been one of those things when I hear the term

563
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:30.240
<v Speaker 2>life coach, and I hear that as a Hey follow

564
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:32.720
<v Speaker 2>me on Instagram, I'm a life coach. I don't know, man, Like,

565
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:35.599
<v Speaker 2>nobody's perfect, and I'm sure anybody who's a life coach

566
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:38.200
<v Speaker 2>would acknowledge that. But I just to be able to

567
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:41.359
<v Speaker 2>say that, like I am, like I'm because the life

568
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.319
<v Speaker 2>coach definition here from the from the Dictionary online here,

569
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:48.200
<v Speaker 2>it says a person who counsels and encourages clients on

570
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:51.559
<v Speaker 2>matters having to do with careers or personal challenges. Sounds

571
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:55.160
<v Speaker 2>like a therapist, yeah, without without the degree, without the certification.

572
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:55.880
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying.

573
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:57.799
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Like, it's one thing to be like a motivator

574
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:00.400
<v Speaker 2>and tell people, like you know, to encourage positive in

575
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:04.440
<v Speaker 2>their life and influence them in that way. But honestly,

576
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:06.799
<v Speaker 2>more than anything, it's just it's just what it's called.

577
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Life coach to me, seems like a little much. Might

578
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:12.839
<v Speaker 2>sound like a complete a home No, I think it

579
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:13.200
<v Speaker 2>makes sense.

580
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:15.240
<v Speaker 3>It sounds like you're paying somebody to kind of like

581
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:17.200
<v Speaker 3>be your friend to in a little Yes.

582
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:19.359
<v Speaker 2>No way, I could see that too, Like, Hey, you know,

583
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:21.759
<v Speaker 2>my life, I kind of feel like it sucks. Do

584
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:23.119
<v Speaker 2>you want to coach me to make it better and

585
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:24.880
<v Speaker 2>be my friend. Yes, pay me and I'll do that, Like,

586
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:27.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know, just it's it's made me

587
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:31.519
<v Speaker 2>uncomfortable because I've had people that I know of that like, hey,

588
00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:33.960
<v Speaker 2>please support me. I'm I'm becoming a life coach, and

589
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:36.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm I just don't have the ability to be that fake.

590
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:37.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess I do because I don't tell

591
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:39.599
<v Speaker 2>them what I don't really think. But I also just

592
00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:42.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm uncomfortable because I'm like, who are you coaching in life?

593
00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:46.960
<v Speaker 2>It's and you know, I think just what I would

594
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:49.160
<v Speaker 2>envision someone who's never been a life coach or have

595
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:52.119
<v Speaker 2>never leaned on the services of a life coach, I

596
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:54.720
<v Speaker 2>feel like you have to be very motivational and inspiring,

597
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:58.400
<v Speaker 2>and you know, you got to be able to preach,

598
00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:00.400
<v Speaker 2>I guess, and you have to have a lot of

599
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:01.880
<v Speaker 2>I would assume you have to have a lot of

600
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:04.680
<v Speaker 2>life experiences, Like that's why you should have to be.

601
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:06.680
<v Speaker 3>At least sixty years old to be a life coach.

602
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:09.079
<v Speaker 2>Like I at times feel like I'm I mean, like

603
00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:13.279
<v Speaker 2>we're all learning as we go and it's hard enough

604
00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:15.559
<v Speaker 2>to be a parent, right, and then like to also

605
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:17.079
<v Speaker 2>say you're going to be a parent of kids and

606
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:19.319
<v Speaker 2>raise them, but you're also coaching other people in their lives.

607
00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:21.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, just it's always been something I've been

608
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:25.359
<v Speaker 2>uncomfortable with. But anyways, other side hustles here according to

609
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:29.880
<v Speaker 2>this Forbes breakdown number six, as food delivery driver, I

610
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:31.359
<v Speaker 2>would have expected that to be higher.

611
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:34.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and that was I did that during COVID. It's

612
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:36.319
<v Speaker 3>because there was really not a lot you could do

613
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:37.160
<v Speaker 3>during COVID, So.

614
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:42.039
<v Speaker 2>I see a lot of mixed, mixed opinions on if

615
00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:44.039
<v Speaker 2>that's like, if that's worth doing.

616
00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:45.559
<v Speaker 3>Or not, you know what I mean. Yet at the

617
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:48.480
<v Speaker 3>time it was worth it for me a wrong way

618
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:50.839
<v Speaker 3>people could eat right. Yeah, and I wouldn't, I mean,

619
00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:53.000
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't do it now unless I just absolutely had

620
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:54.960
<v Speaker 3>to fall back on something while I was looking for

621
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:58.880
<v Speaker 3>a different job. But it's also a lot more thankless

622
00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:01.119
<v Speaker 3>than I feel like might imagine as well, what do

623
00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:03.599
<v Speaker 3>you mean? At least in some cases in COVID, people

624
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:05.680
<v Speaker 3>were a lot more like during the thick of it,

625
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:08.079
<v Speaker 3>whenever you know, you couldn't really go out to places.

626
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:10.960
<v Speaker 3>It obviously got more lax the more that we, you know,

627
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:14.240
<v Speaker 3>further got into it. But people just assume that the

628
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:17.519
<v Speaker 3>driver is responsible for what's in the bag, and they're not. Yeah,

629
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:20.559
<v Speaker 3>they just they're taking it from the restaurant to the house.

630
00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:22.640
<v Speaker 2>You're quite literally delivering it and you don't work for

631
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.079
<v Speaker 2>the restaurant. Yes, now what was was there ever?

632
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:28.079
<v Speaker 3>Any like? Are you supposed to look and see if

633
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:28.799
<v Speaker 3>what's doing right?

634
00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:28.920
<v Speaker 1>No?

635
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:31.519
<v Speaker 3>So the restaurant usually like seals it. You can't look

636
00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:33.079
<v Speaker 3>in the bag because they don't want you taking it.

637
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, gotcha, that makes total sense. But I'm just curious

638
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:38.839
<v Speaker 2>as to how the drivers have been blamed for something

639
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:41.039
<v Speaker 2>being like left out of.

640
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:43.680
<v Speaker 3>The of the like the like I would. There would

641
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:45.759
<v Speaker 3>be times it didn't happen super often, but they would.

642
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.000
<v Speaker 3>The person I would deliver the food w would call

643
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:49.880
<v Speaker 3>and say, hey, I didn't get this. I'm like, well,

644
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:52.759
<v Speaker 3>there's nothing I can do. Unfortunately, you can call the restaurant,

645
00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:54.960
<v Speaker 3>or you can call customer service and maybe you can

646
00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:56.240
<v Speaker 3>get some some money back or something.

647
00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you would be the most respectful and polite

648
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:02.799
<v Speaker 2>person because like, at some point you need to just say, look,

649
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:05.759
<v Speaker 2>you need to call the company you bought food from,

650
00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Like I.

651
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:07.640
<v Speaker 3>Will say one when there was one time I just

652
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:10.200
<v Speaker 3>hung up on somebody to deal with it. It's good.

653
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:13.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean I don't I could totally see that being

654
00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:16.880
<v Speaker 2>a very thankless job. And and is it just I mean,

655
00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:19.559
<v Speaker 2>in the way do you make money on just tips?

656
00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:22.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? So there was there were times so you could

657
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:24.920
<v Speaker 3>schedule I did with grub hub before doors became like

658
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:28.319
<v Speaker 3>the giant for it. But you could schedule time slots

659
00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:31.519
<v Speaker 3>where you had to have your little notifier on and

660
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:34.599
<v Speaker 3>if you didn't get any orders, but you were, you

661
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:36.720
<v Speaker 3>were labeled as on for like a three or four

662
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:39.599
<v Speaker 3>hour period, you would get a minimum payment. Gotcha, just

663
00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:40.720
<v Speaker 3>being available for your time.

664
00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I just I feel like lately that has

665
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:47.880
<v Speaker 2>become not as not as it just not as worth.

666
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:50.319
<v Speaker 2>It's not worth doing it if you're not able to

667
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:52.799
<v Speaker 2>genuinely make you know, because if you're if you're out

668
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:55.559
<v Speaker 2>there giving up four hours of your time and tips

669
00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:57.599
<v Speaker 2>aren't great and you're just getting the money for your time,

670
00:31:57.640 --> 00:31:59.960
<v Speaker 2>you just got to It's one of those things that

671
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:01.400
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't shock me if people do it for a little

672
00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:03.319
<v Speaker 2>while and realize, yeah, that really isn't worth it. I'm

673
00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:04.839
<v Speaker 2>going to try to find something else as like a

674
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:08.640
<v Speaker 2>side hustle, but also like, I guess people are still

675
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:12.599
<v Speaker 2>utilizing those services, but for me, like I've only done

676
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:16.160
<v Speaker 2>it a couple of times, and I just can never

677
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:19.119
<v Speaker 2>justify what it cost. And it's not the fault of

678
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:22.480
<v Speaker 2>the delivery driver by any means, but like I now,

679
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:25.000
<v Speaker 2>more often than not, if I see somebody discussing one

680
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:29.759
<v Speaker 2>of those food delivery services, whether it be Uber Eats,

681
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:34.680
<v Speaker 2>grub Hub, Postmates, what are some other ones those like

682
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:35.119
<v Speaker 2>the main.

683
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:37.359
<v Speaker 3>Ones, there's a fourth one not thinking of.

684
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:40.039
<v Speaker 2>But either way, like the more often than not, if

685
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:43.599
<v Speaker 2>I see somebody discussing those services, it's people complaining about

686
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:49.079
<v Speaker 2>how I paid such and such for this meal, and

687
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:50.799
<v Speaker 2>it just like it makes it to where there's no

688
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:51.799
<v Speaker 2>point in doing it.

689
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:54.359
<v Speaker 3>I feel like most people who use it nowadays, since

690
00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:56.839
<v Speaker 3>we're not in COVID times, it's people who work in

691
00:32:56.920 --> 00:32:59.480
<v Speaker 3>like with large groups and there's no easy way to

692
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:02.319
<v Speaker 3>get to a restaurant at your job or I mean,

693
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:04.839
<v Speaker 3>really that's it that I can think of, Or maybe

694
00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:06.440
<v Speaker 3>you have like you're trying to get somebody to cater

695
00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:08.359
<v Speaker 3>your your party and you just need to order a

696
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:11.200
<v Speaker 3>whole bunch of food that's not pizza something like that.

697
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know people who have Like there's a guy

698
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:17.559
<v Speaker 2>that I know of that has had a career and

699
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:21.039
<v Speaker 2>has seemingly done well for himself, but for like ten

700
00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:25.079
<v Speaker 2>years plus he's delivered pizza's part time just to kind of,

701
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:28.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, have a different, you know, different revenue stream

702
00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:28.640
<v Speaker 2>coming in.

703
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:29.960
<v Speaker 3>And I'm it's somebody.

704
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:31.440
<v Speaker 2>It's somebody that I've never asked him, like what kind

705
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:33.440
<v Speaker 2>of money he makes, but like he wouldn't do it

706
00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:35.200
<v Speaker 2>if it wasn't something to where he could, you know,

707
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:37.720
<v Speaker 2>make some good money, right, I mean, because it's probably

708
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:39.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, it's one of those things if you

709
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:41.440
<v Speaker 2>don't mind driving and you can just you know, put

710
00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:44.559
<v Speaker 2>your headphones in or let's why. It was just something

711
00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:46.200
<v Speaker 2>that you felt like, you know, why not, right, there's

712
00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:48.160
<v Speaker 2>a way to make some money. All right, let's get

713
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:49.559
<v Speaker 2>to our last break here. We'll come back on the

714
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:55.400
<v Speaker 2>other side. Finished strong here on a Thursday afternoon. I

715
00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:57.359
<v Speaker 2>got another football practice to go to tonight. John, I'm

716
00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:59.440
<v Speaker 2>getting excited. Moos has got his first game coming up

717
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:02.319
<v Speaker 2>on the Sadaturday, his first flag football game.

718
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:04.960
<v Speaker 3>It's making me feel old, but I am excited for him.

719
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:06.720
<v Speaker 2>I just remembered as soon as we're going to break

720
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:08.719
<v Speaker 2>because I'm thinking, oh wow, the show's almost over, and

721
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:09.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, well, as soon as I get out of here,

722
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:12.079
<v Speaker 2>I got to get to football practice. I mean I

723
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:13.519
<v Speaker 2>don't have to, but you know, I feel bad if

724
00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:15.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't go. All right, don't go anywhere. We'll come

725
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:17.599
<v Speaker 2>back one more segment right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

726
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.880
<v Speaker 2>That's right, Coffee and Company were rolling along here, finishing

727
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:24.840
<v Speaker 2>up a Thursday ED issue of the show. First week

728
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:27.440
<v Speaker 2>back for me from vacation, and Manna, it went by fast.

729
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:29.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's not over yet. We still have tomorrow,

730
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:31.719
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like this week has absolutely flown by,

731
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:34.559
<v Speaker 2>which is a good thing. I mean means the weekend's

732
00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:38.920
<v Speaker 2>getting closer, means football season will be here sooner rather

733
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:41.119
<v Speaker 2>than later, which is which is certainly a good thing.

734
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:44.280
<v Speaker 2>And earlier today they had another one of their open

735
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:47.840
<v Speaker 2>practices and Tyler Griever, who does a great job for WDRB,

736
00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:51.840
<v Speaker 2>he was on site getting some clips, some highlights for

737
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:55.360
<v Speaker 2>his newscast, and he shared some takeaways from the practice.

738
00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:58.400
<v Speaker 2>And I think this is really really encouraging to hear,

739
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:01.559
<v Speaker 2>and that is that Colin Lacy continue use to be

740
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:04.679
<v Speaker 2>to be getting more and more acclimated. You know, I

741
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:07.760
<v Speaker 2>don't want to say that he had a bad spring

742
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:10.159
<v Speaker 2>because I don't really I don't really think that that's

743
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:11.679
<v Speaker 2>that would be. I mean, I wouldn't know that, and

744
00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:14.000
<v Speaker 2>I didn't hear anybody say that. But for him to

745
00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:16.960
<v Speaker 2>be a guy that is returning to college football with

746
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:20.519
<v Speaker 2>more receiving yards last season than anybody else in the country,

747
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:23.360
<v Speaker 2>you know that that that comes with big expectation as

748
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:25.960
<v Speaker 2>well as knowing that when he hit the portal, I mean,

749
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:28.800
<v Speaker 2>everybody wanted him, and you know, I think he ended

750
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:31.480
<v Speaker 2>up picking Louisville over Texas A and M and one

751
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:33.840
<v Speaker 2>other big school, and that means there's a lot of

752
00:35:33.840 --> 00:35:37.159
<v Speaker 2>money involved for him. So you know, he's he's continuing

753
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:39.039
<v Speaker 2>to get more and more comfortable. It looks like there's

754
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:42.199
<v Speaker 2>some highlights that that Tyler posted over there on his

755
00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Twitter page, which you know, I mean, it's just highlights,

756
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:46.119
<v Speaker 2>it's just little clips.

757
00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:48.280
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't show a whole lot, but you know it's

758
00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:48.920
<v Speaker 3>good to see.

759
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Also when it comes to running back, you know, I

760
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:55.280
<v Speaker 2>think Donald Cheney is going to be a guy that

761
00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:59.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, is more than serviceable. Like I don't want

762
00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:02.280
<v Speaker 2>to talk about these running backs as if I expect

763
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Maurice Turner and Donald Cheney to be anything close to

764
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:10.840
<v Speaker 2>what Louisville had with Isaac Garrindo and jo Or Jordan,

765
00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:14.119
<v Speaker 2>because those two guys were phenomenal. I mean again, Louisville

766
00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:18.039
<v Speaker 2>is the only program that had two running backs drafted

767
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:20.760
<v Speaker 2>last year in the NFL Draft, and it was those

768
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:22.719
<v Speaker 2>two guys, and I wouldn't be shocked if both of

769
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:27.000
<v Speaker 2>them end up having you know, a few few years,

770
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:29.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe four years in the NFL. I mean, especially Garindo.

771
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:31.199
<v Speaker 2>I think Grendo is is kind of a you know,

772
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I think you could be a potential gym in the

773
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:35.639
<v Speaker 2>NFL when you consider his speed, his size, and just

774
00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:37.880
<v Speaker 2>to me, he's a tough guy to tackle. With Jordan,

775
00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:39.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, a little bit a little bit different, but

776
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:41.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, after seeing when he when he was healthy

777
00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:43.719
<v Speaker 2>last year, how good he was, I wouldn't be shocked

778
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:46.239
<v Speaker 2>if he has you know, a few a few years

779
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:48.679
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL where he's a guy getting some healthy carries.

780
00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:51.320
<v Speaker 2>So those guys don't need to be that which is

781
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:54.079
<v Speaker 2>a good thing because you have I think a quarterback

782
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:57.320
<v Speaker 2>that can they can they can essentially be better than

783
00:36:57.320 --> 00:36:59.079
<v Speaker 2>the one you had. Last year, right with Tyler Shuck,

784
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:01.280
<v Speaker 2>I think he will be able to utilize weapons like

785
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Chris Bell, Colin Lacey, ja Corey Brooks from Alabama. Like,

786
00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:08.840
<v Speaker 2>I think the offense is getting a little bit slept

787
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:12.320
<v Speaker 2>on because yes, all the transfers are question marks, Shuck

788
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:14.880
<v Speaker 2>included because of the injuries as well. But when you

789
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:17.119
<v Speaker 2>consider the fact that they now have the tight end

790
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:20.440
<v Speaker 2>position to utilize that they didn't have previously, that's a

791
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:23.079
<v Speaker 2>big difference. And these guys don't you know, with that

792
00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:28.280
<v Speaker 2>with if Shuck can really find you know, if you

793
00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:31.320
<v Speaker 2>can get Colin Lacey in space, and maybe Chris Bell

794
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:33.760
<v Speaker 2>becomes a guy that has real good chemistry with Shuck

795
00:37:33.800 --> 00:37:35.960
<v Speaker 2>and he's a guy that maybe didn't have a ton

796
00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:37.840
<v Speaker 2>of catches, but man, each catch he has is for

797
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:40.079
<v Speaker 2>thirty forty yards. I mean, that's a little bit that's

798
00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:42.760
<v Speaker 2>asking a little bit much. But just long story short,

799
00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:46.159
<v Speaker 2>these guys don't need to be Grindo and Jordan. However,

800
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:48.679
<v Speaker 2>I actually think they're pretty good. And Maurice Turner's been

801
00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:50.920
<v Speaker 2>here a while and it's never really clicked for him

802
00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:53.119
<v Speaker 2>to where he's been kind of one of the main guys.

803
00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:56.280
<v Speaker 2>But you know, he's he's got some talent, and he's

804
00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:58.719
<v Speaker 2>definitely bulked up this offseason. I mean, he continues to

805
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:01.920
<v Speaker 2>get first string running by reps. But Donald Cheney, I mean,

806
00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:04.880
<v Speaker 2>this is a guy who was good at Miami. I mean,

807
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:06.639
<v Speaker 2>this isn't a guy who left Miami because he wasn't

808
00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:09.119
<v Speaker 2>getting on the field. Now, I will say there's no

809
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:11.239
<v Speaker 2>doubt the freshman they had last year running back that

810
00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:13.599
<v Speaker 2>really showed why you know, he was a five star recruit.

811
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:15.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'd say that was one of the reasons

812
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:18.079
<v Speaker 2>why Donald Cheney decided to move on. But you know,

813
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:20.960
<v Speaker 2>it's a guy who at Miami, you know he was

814
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:22.960
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't just some guy who was buried on the

815
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:25.480
<v Speaker 2>depth chart that never played. It's a guy who you know,

816
00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:27.719
<v Speaker 2>he rushed for eight hundred and fifty two yards and

817
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:29.079
<v Speaker 2>six scorers in twenty.

818
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Five games at Miami.

819
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.400
<v Speaker 2>So I'm as if you haven't been able to tell already,

820
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:36.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty excited for this football season. I think we're

821
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:41.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna see an offense that is a little more like

822
00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:45.159
<v Speaker 2>the type of offense we envisioned Louisville having with Jeff

823
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:47.079
<v Speaker 2>brom as their coach. It worked last year, it just

824
00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:49.639
<v Speaker 2>wasn't exactly what you would typically expect from a Jeff

825
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:52.239
<v Speaker 2>brom led offense. All right, we're at a time. We'll

826
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:54.039
<v Speaker 2>be back at it tomorrow for a feel good Friday.
