Speaker 1: It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 2: Now here's Nick Coffee.
Speaker 3: Turn my mic on. You'll find out it's not Nick Coffee.
Speaker 3: I'm Scotfence. Geraldie.
Speaker 2: Is John Olden Nick Coffee enjoying a well deserved vacation.
Speaker 2: He'll be back on Monday, and it's John Olden and
Speaker 2: I taking you home afternoon. Underdogs'll be with you Wednesday,
Speaker 2: Thursday and Friday. John speaking of doctor Pat Carroll with
Speaker 2: exceptional dentistry. Who is my Dennis? Tony Cruz's Dennis. He's awesome.
Speaker 2: Talk about a small world. Said he ran into Nick
Speaker 2: Coffee on vacation today. Oh really ran into Nick? Yeah right,
Speaker 2: so he ran in and run into him. So hopefully
Speaker 2: everybody gets a chance to get away and get on vacation.
Speaker 3: When was the last time you were on vacation? Bro?
Speaker 1: So we my wife and I we went to Delaware.
Speaker 1: I do believe I told you did in to Coastal
Speaker 1: Delaware back at the beginning of June. Went to a
Speaker 1: rehobe with beach.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, that's right, yeah, I remember you telling me that.
Speaker 3: Good for you.
Speaker 2: I mean, look if you've got that vacation time, people
Speaker 2: take it. I mean, I'm taking a vacation day from
Speaker 2: the show tomorrow morning so I can go to the.
Speaker 3: Low City game.
Speaker 2: And because we opted, we opted out of the family
Speaker 2: vacation this year, we think we're gonna We're gonna try
Speaker 2: to brave it and go out and see my folks
Speaker 2: in Michigan for Thanksgiving. The problem is when you head
Speaker 2: up to Michigan for Thanksgiving, you never know if you're coming.
Speaker 3: Home or not.
Speaker 1: Fly. Yeah, we dry okay.
Speaker 3: But you just don't know if you're gonna make it back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you can get the unlucky snowstorm at that
Speaker 1: time of the year, because it is hit or miss
Speaker 1: in November.
Speaker 3: It is it is and then and then nice. It's
Speaker 3: actually now.
Speaker 2: Last time I went to Michigan, I went up for
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft in April. I flew, And if it's
Speaker 2: just me, it's easier. It's a little bit easier now
Speaker 2: that my kids are older. It's easier to fly. But
Speaker 2: it's just something about flying over the holidays. It'd almost
Speaker 2: rather be stuck on the roads than I would in
Speaker 2: airport flying back for the holidays.
Speaker 1: Nick talks about airport anxieties all the time. But he's pro,
Speaker 1: he's pro flying on vacation. I haven't been on an
Speaker 1: airplane in maybe fifteen years. Yeah, it's pretty it's been
Speaker 1: a long time. And that's not because of anything like
Speaker 1: a maybe it's a personal bad experience I had. I'm
Speaker 1: not a fan of being in the air. I don't
Speaker 1: like turbulence on like, none of that stuff. So if
Speaker 1: I can avoid being on a plane, which again I've
Speaker 1: done so for quite some time now, especially as an adult,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that. And then plus I love to drive.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm kind of a control freaqu when it
Speaker 1: comes to being on the road, and I'm very comfortable,
Speaker 1: and so I'd much rather take a road trip than
Speaker 1: fly on vacation any day.
Speaker 3: I don't blame you there, I don't. I know.
Speaker 2: Nick is an airport bar officionado. He is his favorite beer.
Speaker 3: It is. I'm with him.
Speaker 2: I mean, there is no beer that tastes better than
Speaker 2: that beer before you get on that plane, before you
Speaker 2: go on vacation.
Speaker 3: I mean that is amazing.
Speaker 2: And really, do I have it on the way back,
Speaker 2: because by the time I'm on my way back, I'm
Speaker 2: ready to come home. I'm ready to just kind of
Speaker 2: get back into the routine. You know, there's no need
Speaker 2: to prolong it. I'll though, this time was nice. When
Speaker 2: I came back from the draft, my wife picked me
Speaker 2: up at the airport and I flew back on a set.
Speaker 2: That's how you do it, dude. You go on a Saturday.
Speaker 2: And I flew back on a Saturday. And what was
Speaker 2: nice was it was a direct flight from Detroit to Louisville,
Speaker 2: so what was And I got a four o'clock flight
Speaker 2: on purpose. So we had an Airbnb in Detroit, I
Speaker 2: believe it or not, they have them in Detroit.
Speaker 3: And my buddies.
Speaker 2: We had to check out by ten, So my buddies,
Speaker 2: I said, hey, guys, can you swing me by dtw
Speaker 2: on the way out? And they said, sure, man, I'm
Speaker 2: doing that. I mean, I didn't sweat getting through TSA.
Speaker 2: I already had my boarding pass and the way I
Speaker 2: waited a good forty five fifty minutes to get through TSA.
Speaker 2: But I wasn't sweating. At one, I was by myself.
Speaker 2: Two my flight didn't leave till four o'clock. So I'm
Speaker 2: just like.
Speaker 1: Whatever, I'll tell you what I do. I do think
Speaker 1: there is something to be said about it. When you're
Speaker 1: by yourself traveling, it feels like you're automatically just going
Speaker 1: to be more patient. I don't know why that is.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because you don't want to make a fool
Speaker 1: of yourself in front of a bunch of people no
Speaker 1: one else around. But maybe it's maybe you feel more
Speaker 1: at peace because the only thing you have to do
Speaker 1: is it's just you and your thoughts. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm overthinking it, no, but I do feel like
Speaker 1: there is a reason, there is something that allows us
Speaker 1: to be more patient worm by ourselves.
Speaker 3: I don't know it is.
Speaker 2: It definitely is because you feel like you either have
Speaker 2: to entertain your spouse or if you have young kids,
Speaker 2: you got to entertain them.
Speaker 3: And so my buddies dropped me off.
Speaker 2: I went and found my gate, plugged in my Hulu,
Speaker 2: watched the ball game, sat there, had a little lunch,
Speaker 2: and then I timed it out so I get back
Speaker 2: right at five. My wife picked me up at the
Speaker 2: airport and we went out for dinner. I mean, that's
Speaker 2: the way you do it. Saturday traveled to me is awesome.
Speaker 2: I have always and even when I was younger, and
Speaker 2: I traveled a lot when I was younger. By myself,
Speaker 2: I hated traveling on a Sunday. There's no worse feeling
Speaker 2: than traveling on a Sunday and home logging the suitcases
Speaker 2: upstairs unpacked and going to bed and getting I'm going
Speaker 2: to work the next day. So I travel on a
Speaker 2: Saturday and it's just a total chill experience. And then
Speaker 2: to be able to go out and get home, it's
Speaker 2: that's even money on top. So good on Nick, I'm glad.
Speaker 2: I assume he probably flew yes like he's so, he
Speaker 2: flew okay, and he has how many kids?
Speaker 3: One or two kids? Two kids? Okay? So, but he's
Speaker 3: a pro added I mean, he's got it.
Speaker 2: Down pat and uh, it's just nice and and for me,
Speaker 2: I'm an ab gig. So I I love airports and
Speaker 2: I like people watching and I like it. I like airliners,
Speaker 2: I like jets, I like I like that whole scene.
Speaker 2: In fact, my favorite places in the world to go
Speaker 2: to plane spot and plane spot nerds, you'll know this.
Speaker 2: What I'm talking about is Skipple Airport in Amsterdam. And
Speaker 2: that's why I'm looking forward to having my brother in here.
Speaker 2: He's a pilot. He's a pilot for American and he knows,
Speaker 2: he knows what I'm talking about. But I go to
Speaker 2: Skipple in Amsterdam. I mean, it's it's so cool. Will
Speaker 2: Clark and I used to do that. Will Clark was
Speaker 2: a big ab geek. He does the same thing. He'll
Speaker 2: go out of his way. My dream, and this is the.
Speaker 3: Tole aviation nerd coming out of me.
Speaker 2: My dream is I want to stay at the TWA
Speaker 2: hotel in New York at LaGuardia, and I want to
Speaker 2: stay there just just because it's old school and just
Speaker 2: to do that. But traveling's fun, dude, because then you
Speaker 2: go you find different foods that are there, the different
Speaker 2: foods that you can partake of.
Speaker 1: And yea, I had crab leggs the first time when
Speaker 1: I was in Oh really good. I've never had crab leggs,
Speaker 1: but a good place to have them right there was delicious,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: And it's funny you bring that up because I tell
Speaker 2: my wife, I said, when I went to Paris, I
Speaker 2: spent the summer ninety four, like I was talking about yesterday,
Speaker 2: in France. First place I ever had lobster was Paris.
Speaker 2: First place and we went with a group of people
Speaker 2: and they're like, hey, we're gonna go get seafood. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, guys, I'm not a big seafood guy. Now
Speaker 2: they're like, look, you're in Paris. You don't get here
Speaker 2: but once in your lifetime. So I find I'll go,
Speaker 2: I'll get a salad or something.
Speaker 3: Whatever.
Speaker 2: We get there and they go get the lobster. Like, oh, guys,
Speaker 2: I hate seafood. They're like, get the lobster. I was like, okay, whatever.
Speaker 2: After a couple of whites and I was like, all right, fuck,
Speaker 2: give me the lobster thing I ever had. Dude, I'm like,
Speaker 2: why have I missed out on this all my life?
Speaker 2: And now I can't get enough seafood. We're big seafood
Speaker 2: years at home, we're big. One of our favorites to
Speaker 2: do on Sunday nights is we take the salmon, put
Speaker 2: it on the cedar planks and put those on the grill,
Speaker 2: and we just love seafood.
Speaker 1: Give me all the seafood. Give me the shrimp fish
Speaker 1: you can name right, frog legs, give me whatever the
Speaker 1: heck you got. All you eat lifit's seafood.
Speaker 2: I'm right there with you, bro, I mean I am
Speaker 2: right there, but I'm not. There's certain chains seafood restaurants that.
Speaker 3: I won't go to. That's fair. That's fair because it
Speaker 3: feels like it feels like you're getting food out of.
Speaker 1: A bag, grease pit kind of.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and it's it's like there's a couple of
Speaker 2: national chains that are out there.
Speaker 3: In fact, somebody who.
Speaker 2: Worked in the restaurant industry told me about a certain
Speaker 2: Italian food chain. And I'm not gonna name a these,
Speaker 2: but they told me because they used to work there.
Speaker 2: A lot of their stuff comes out of a bag
Speaker 2: and it's like add water to it, and it's really popular.
Speaker 2: And so now whether that's true or not, I can't verify,
Speaker 2: but I can't also at the same time can't unsee it.
Speaker 2: And I've heard some of these things about some of
Speaker 2: these national seafood chains. I mean, I'm not saying you're
Speaker 2: pulling lobstraw out of a bag and add more water
Speaker 2: to it. I'm just saying some of the other food
Speaker 2: kind of. And now, but now that somebody put that
Speaker 2: bug in my ear, I can't shake it.
Speaker 3: So when I go to eat the food, I'm kind
Speaker 3: of like.
Speaker 2: Local seafood, though, amen aude.
Speaker 3: Even when we went to my family drugged me down
Speaker 3: to Florida. I'm not a Florida guy. I'm definitely I'm
Speaker 3: definitely no offense to those of you who loved Deston.
Speaker 2: I hate Deston. My grandparents lived in Tampa. They lived
Speaker 2: in a nice part of Tampa. I didn't mind it,
Speaker 2: but it wasn't my cup of tea. Too humid, too hot.
Speaker 2: It's like what it is out there now. I'm not
Speaker 2: a fan of that.
Speaker 1: It's crowds too, maybe especially crowds.
Speaker 3: You got it.
Speaker 2: But I will say this, the family drugged me down
Speaker 2: there because they had been going I make them go
Speaker 2: up north to Michigan. They drugged me down there. I said, okay,
Speaker 2: my turn. You know, I gotta I gotta suck it up.
Speaker 2: I'll take one for the team. We went to some
Speaker 2: seafood place and I don't know what it was. I
Speaker 2: can't remember the name.
Speaker 3: Best seafood I ever had, best seafood.
Speaker 2: And it was a mom and pop place. It wasn't
Speaker 2: a chain. It wasn't like a tourist trap either, if
Speaker 2: that makes any sense. It was just a mom and
Speaker 2: pop place hidden away some shopping mall. Somewhere some strip
Speaker 2: mall like. It wasn't because if you go to Florida,
Speaker 2: those of you who go to Florida, you know that
Speaker 2: along the coach there there's that. There's the tourist traps
Speaker 2: that are there. They jack up the price of your
Speaker 2: meal at dinner time, they do all that. Well, I
Speaker 2: was sitting at this place we went to. They had
Speaker 2: a local brewery. So I was in the brewery picking
Speaker 2: up to get my token T shirt and my beer.
Speaker 2: I asked him, I said, guys, I want to go
Speaker 2: somewhere and get some seafood here, but I don't want
Speaker 2: to go to a tourist trap.
Speaker 3: Where do you all go when you want seafood?
Speaker 2: And he told me, And it was in the strip
Speaker 2: mall way Inland And it took us about twenty minutes.
Speaker 3: To get there, but oh man, it was the best seafood.
Speaker 3: So long story short.
Speaker 2: Now bring that up because we were talking about food
Speaker 2: at the ballparks earlier. I don't know if you've heard, John,
Speaker 2: but Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, big fancy stadium, YEP,
Speaker 2: A lot of big venues, a lot of big acts
Speaker 2: play there. Well, they're known for their bargain prices at
Speaker 2: their concessions. If you go to Mercedes ben Stadium, and
Speaker 2: I know Cardinal fans may have gone there, I think, yeah,
Speaker 2: Louisville played there last year. You can go to sections one, O, five,
Speaker 2: one thirteen, two five, three oh eight, three twenty two
Speaker 2: and three twenty nine. These are what they call the
Speaker 2: atl fanfare sections. Dude, you can get a you can
Speaker 2: get a classic hot dog for two bucks Classic and
Speaker 2: it looks good. Cheez Nacho's three bucks. I mean these
Speaker 2: are like these are these are I'm going to watch
Speaker 2: my kid play elementary basketball school concession prices. They're candies
Speaker 2: three fifty. You can get your chips for three fifty.
Speaker 2: A souvenir soda four bucks.
Speaker 3: I paid.
Speaker 2: I paid nine No, I paid eleven bucks for a
Speaker 2: souvenir soda the Reds game. But you can get But
Speaker 2: what's interesting is they do the bacon or the buffalo
Speaker 2: cauliflower wraps eight dollars, which isn't bad.
Speaker 1: They say, all things considered, I mean, if you buy
Speaker 1: that anywhere else, it's probably double the price.
Speaker 2: That's exactly right now. Beer is a little bit more realistic.
Speaker 2: If you want a large premium draft fear you got
Speaker 2: pay ten to fifty. But this is sort of becoming
Speaker 2: the trend. Fresh Like I get a lot of popcorn, right,
Speaker 2: I go to the stadiums because it's it's just better.
Speaker 3: It's just better for you. I don't fill up on it,
Speaker 3: and I don't do this, this and this, so, but
Speaker 3: you're looking at popcorns two dollars.
Speaker 2: Now, this is becoming the trend. I see Dallas has
Speaker 2: done this too. At and T Stadium does this, although
Speaker 2: their hot dogs are running a little bit more. The
Speaker 2: hot dogs are about six seventy five, but they have sort
Speaker 2: of that bargain.
Speaker 3: I know the Lions tried this too as well.
Speaker 2: You can get discounted foods, and everybody knows about the Masters, right,
Speaker 2: they know about them. The Masters has the cheap food prices,
Speaker 2: so you're seeing the start to catch on with folks.
Speaker 2: But if you want the more expensive then you can
Speaker 2: go get those. So I was looking at some of
Speaker 2: the different baseball foods that are out there.
Speaker 3: Fair warning if you're hungry. It's like you ever watched Diners,
Speaker 3: Drive In and Dives?
Speaker 1: Oh, any of those shows that are on Travel Channel,
Speaker 1: And I know travel channels kind of mostly turned into
Speaker 1: like ghost shows and that type of thing, like paranormal activity,
Speaker 1: those types of shows. Yeah, but I remember I used
Speaker 1: to come home from school pretty regularly and I would
Speaker 1: turn on Travel Channel because it was either Man Versus
Speaker 1: Food one of those other eating type shows, because you
Speaker 1: want to eat a snack we get home, and so
Speaker 1: it's sometimes it's fun to snack while you're watching somebody
Speaker 1: eat food.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: Well my mistake to your point, my mistake is turning
Speaker 2: on guy Fiery and Diners driving and dies late at
Speaker 2: night when I.
Speaker 3: Am just craving something bad. I had a few brews.
Speaker 3: I want that. So now I'm going through and I'm
Speaker 3: looking at these and I told you I'm in that
Speaker 3: little hungry zone right now.
Speaker 2: They talk about the different ballparks, Great American Ballpark. I forgot.
Speaker 2: They've got the Get mac Doog.
Speaker 3: This is a.
Speaker 2: Grilled brisket sausage topped with macaroni and cheese as well
Speaker 2: as barbecue sauce, and to top it off, they put
Speaker 2: it in a toasted pretzel bun.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, I'm gonna post this up on social
Speaker 2: media on my x feet s Fits Underscore eight forty
Speaker 2: whas you gotta look at some of this stuff. Petco Park. Okay,
Speaker 2: home with the Podres. I saw the Podres, and Qualcum
Speaker 2: I didn't see him. There they've got basically a Maria
Speaker 2: egg roll. It's an egg roll served with Fresno chili sauce,
Speaker 2: and it's got uh it's a Barrio dog.
Speaker 3: It's got a it's basically a.
Speaker 2: T One inspired hot dog, and it's got bacon wrapped
Speaker 2: up in it.
Speaker 3: It's got bacon, all that stuff. So you can get
Speaker 3: that at Petco Park.
Speaker 2: Then I'm taking a look at Yankee Stadium, and so
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium is not only bragging on their chicken wings,
Speaker 2: their desserts.
Speaker 3: Dude, you know the iconic Mister Softy ice cream?
Speaker 1: No certain?
Speaker 2: Okay, Well you get it. It's like the Mister Softy.
Speaker 2: It's like the classic ice soft service, Okay.
Speaker 3: Which is awesome.
Speaker 2: Well, they now take that stuff and they whip it
Speaker 2: up and they put it into a cookie shake and
Speaker 2: so you can get that there. And I'm talking about
Speaker 2: just some of this stuff Fenway Park. Now back to
Speaker 2: the lobster, dude, Fenway Park. Has have you had a
Speaker 2: lobsterole a good lobster.
Speaker 1: I've never had a lobster roll.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, dude, They're amazing.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things like I kind of mentioned,
Speaker 1: you mentioned this while you were in Paris. Like if
Speaker 1: I'm ever up in New England or even further north
Speaker 1: like Maine, that type of thing. I think I need
Speaker 1: to save my first experience with lobster or a lobster
Speaker 1: roll for up there to get an original one. R Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: you can get you can get that if you want. Well, Fenway,
Speaker 1: they're known for their lobster roles. Now you go to
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium and Dodger Stadium has the Dodger dog. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's that goes without saying. And it's changed vendors a
Speaker 1: couple of times. I listened to my buddies Petros and
Speaker 1: Money on AM five seventy on Fridays, and they are
Speaker 1: always bragging.
Speaker 3: On a Dodger dog.
Speaker 2: Now this has changed a couple of venues, but not
Speaker 2: only because you have the Dodger dog, which you have
Speaker 2: sho hee o Tani.
Speaker 3: Are you a sushi guy? You said you I'm not
Speaker 3: a sushi guy.
Speaker 1: My is she?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm saying way. My wife likes it. I don't
Speaker 2: like it. For some reason, it just doesn't attract me.
Speaker 2: But you can get like the sushi at and you
Speaker 2: can get that along with a hot dog at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2: So you start digging into these, and then you go
Speaker 2: up to Toronto, up in Canada and you can, Dude,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I'm gonna post this here. When we
Speaker 2: go to break you can get yourself a hot dog
Speaker 2: topped with marinated maple bacon. I mean, if you're a
Speaker 2: bacon guy and you like maple, those two go together
Speaker 2: so well, right. But what you can also get and
Speaker 2: we did this one we were in Toronto. We went
Speaker 2: to Toronto in twenty nineteen. You get poutine, and poutine's
Speaker 2: one of those things that you can't screw up.
Speaker 3: Have you ever had good poutine? I haven't.
Speaker 1: That's that's Canadian, right, Like, yeah, that's basically you take
Speaker 1: you take French fries and you pour gravy over it.
Speaker 2: Okay, and now there's plenty of ways you can do
Speaker 2: your own thing with it. But it's dude, if you've
Speaker 2: been out to can beer, poutine is amazing. I mean
Speaker 2: it just soaks up all that alcohol. I mean, nothing
Speaker 2: tastes better than that. But you can get a dog
Speaker 2: with and now I actually want to go home and
Speaker 2: try this. I'm gonna figure out how I can put
Speaker 2: marinated maple bacon over my hot dog and throw some
Speaker 2: ketchup behind that, throw a little mustard. Although I'm not
Speaker 2: a ketchup guy in my hot dog? Where do you
Speaker 2: stand on that?
Speaker 1: So I'm not a big condiment guy in general. So
Speaker 1: I'm anti not anti, but I don't put ketchup mustard
Speaker 1: really on anything. I don't even put syrup on pancakes
Speaker 1: or waffles.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I take things as is. Ill had seasonings at you know,
Speaker 1: little ingredients here and there, but when it comes to
Speaker 1: the condiment game, I typically stay away from that.
Speaker 2: See and you know, if you get because I'm getting
Speaker 2: ready to go over to an American family field where
Speaker 2: the brewers play, you can imagine what they serve their
Speaker 2: right brides and sausages.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm with you. You get a good bride.
Speaker 3: I just made Broughts this weekend, spicy spicy brides.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, Yeah.
Speaker 2: If you get a good bride, you don't need to
Speaker 2: put anything on it. I mean, it stands on its own.
Speaker 2: But they've got what they call the Dog of the North.
Speaker 2: And this is a brought top with apple krout. Now,
Speaker 2: I'm not a big krowd guy. I can do without
Speaker 2: the crowd, but I know a lot of people that
Speaker 2: like it. They drop yellow mustard on that jalapeno mayonnaise,
Speaker 2: chopped bacon, and a secret sauce. So I mean it's
Speaker 2: good stuff. And then you head over to Philly. Now
Speaker 2: that you head over to Citizens Bank Park and you
Speaker 2: get the signature Philly cheese steak.
Speaker 3: Have you had a good Philly cheese steak?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 1: I think I don't think I've had a good one.
Speaker 1: I'll say that I've had some Philly cheese steaks, but
Speaker 1: I've not really had something that really wowed me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I start to get into the Philly cheese steaks
Speaker 2: starts to kind of all taste the same to me.
Speaker 2: Just give me that green pepper flavor with the Swiss
Speaker 2: cheese and the roast beef and I'm good to go. Now,
Speaker 2: before we get out of here, it is Oracle Park. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's the home of the San Francisco Giants. They've got
Speaker 2: an amazing ballpark. They serve up ballpark crab fries. They've
Speaker 2: got their garlic fries and their old Bay seasoned dungeon,
Speaker 2: this crab. Give me that all day, right, I mean, dude,
Speaker 2: I am all about I've got some Old Bay hot
Speaker 2: sauce at home.
Speaker 3: I dropped that stuff on everything. Man, I love. I
Speaker 3: can do Old Bay till the cows come home.
Speaker 2: So I mean, when you're looking at some of this food,
Speaker 2: which and this goes back to what we were talking about,
Speaker 2: when you look at some of this food, you know
Speaker 2: you'd be that person. You can just take whatever you
Speaker 2: think works, throw it, see what sticks up against the wall.
Speaker 2: In fact, that's how I find, like I'll post desserts
Speaker 2: on Sunday night. I've just found cool ways to make
Speaker 2: desserts with nothing more than whipp cream and whatever your
Speaker 2: favorite you know, your your favorite pudding mix is. And
Speaker 2: you start adding, like, I'll melt down some chocolate chips
Speaker 2: and throw those in there, and you start mixing that
Speaker 2: stuff up. Put a little sweetener in it if you
Speaker 2: have a sweet tooth. But that's the fun part, and
Speaker 2: that's where I encourage people all the time. You know,
Speaker 2: throw it. It took me a while to get there.
Speaker 2: But what I've done now is I don't even I
Speaker 2: don't even measure stuff anymore. I mean I do to
Speaker 2: some degree, but.
Speaker 3: I just throw stuff in there.
Speaker 1: My wife just says, measure with your heart. You don't
Speaker 1: need it exactly. She's right.
Speaker 2: And you know when you use spices and they give
Speaker 2: you that silly little shaker thing at the top with
Speaker 2: a bunch of little holes in it, Rip that thing
Speaker 2: off the top of there, dude, don't use that.
Speaker 3: Don't use that. But we live in.
Speaker 2: Such a great culture. And it kind of dovetails again
Speaker 2: before we're going to break it, kind of dovetails what
Speaker 2: we were talking about. We get caught up in the
Speaker 2: worst part it was was the TBT, and we have
Speaker 2: moments like that in sports. But then we bring it
Speaker 2: back full circle with great ballpark menus and food and
Speaker 2: cultures and all that stuff. And as we saw here,

Speaker 2: It is a six out patty mixed with onions and
Speaker 2: onion soup powder. Topped with sauted onions and shredded greare cheese.
Speaker 3: Dude, that looks amazing. Dude, those are you a mushroom guy?
Speaker 1: By the way, You know, I don't think I would
Speaker 1: be against mushrooms. I've never had them, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are. It's pretty divisive mushrooms.
Speaker 1: I think I would try them in the right you know,
Speaker 1: with the right combination of whatever it is. You might
Speaker 1: be combining them with maybe a good burger. But you know,
Speaker 1: I know, I know they're the mushiness is what drives
Speaker 1: people away from the mushrooms.
Speaker 2: I feel like sometimes I know, yeah, I see, and
Speaker 2: I love stuff mushrooms like I ain't taking MUSHes, big
Speaker 2: old fat mushrooms and stuff them up and uh and
Speaker 2: do what I will with him. So needless to say,
Speaker 2: when I get a second here, I'm gonna post this
Speaker 2: up and you can take a look at yourself and

Speaker 2: I think he's a pilot for American Airlines, so he's
Speaker 2: used to talking. So you guys don't have Mike's that
Speaker 2: big in the aircraft?
Speaker 4: Do you? No? No, if we do, something's gone wrong?
Speaker 3: How are you? Bro? So you left? Where did your
Speaker 3: day start today? So?
Speaker 4: I was supposed to be here in Louisville this morning,
Speaker 4: but weather in Charlotte kind of curtailed that. So I
Speaker 4: spent the night Charlotte and then flew in this afternoon.
Speaker 2: Beautiful metropolis that is Charlotte, Charlotte, North Carolina.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, you spend a lot of time in Charlotte.
Speaker 4: I try not to, Like I said, if I do,
Speaker 4: something's gone wrong. It's just so humid there.
Speaker 3: It's it's not here. That's not Florida, Florida. So when
Speaker 3: you get here, when you get here, they put you
Speaker 3: up where you're staying at staying at the Galt House
Speaker 3: right down the road.
Speaker 4: Yeah, four blocks down the road. It's a pretty nice deal.
Speaker 4: It's pretty nice setup.
Speaker 2: You didn't get the Gene Simmons suite. You ever see
Speaker 2: the movie Family the show Family Jewels, John, have you
Speaker 2: seen Family Jewels yet?
Speaker 3: I haven't. Okay, he did Family Jewels. It was a
Speaker 3: favorite in our household. Oh no, it was behind the scenes. Look.
Speaker 2: Well, he came in for Derby one year and he
Speaker 2: stayed at the Gold House. Somebody was geeking the Gold House,
Speaker 2: so he was.
Speaker 3: So he came in for Derby and you were texting
Speaker 3: me a picture of the pillow in the hotel room. Horses.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it said something like horses are or I forget
Speaker 4: what it said.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was horse, a big horse on it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I said, oh.
Speaker 4: Ma in Kentucky. Well, I walk into a nice hotel
Speaker 4: room and it's got a big, old couple of horses there.
Speaker 3: But I thought it was cool.
Speaker 4: I thought that's classic Kentucky. Right.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, to your point, we did a segment
Speaker 2: on this show because I hosted just before Derby, and
Speaker 2: we did a segment on Airbnb rentals and that's a
Speaker 2: big issue here in town and one of the things
Speaker 2: the airbnb folks said, if you're designing an airbnb here
Speaker 2: in Kentucky, because we had the Derby and then right
Speaker 2: after that we had the Hall of the PGA Championship.
Speaker 2: He said, if you're going to redo your house, do
Speaker 2: it in horses and or golf, because when people come in,
Speaker 2: they want that experience.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're you know, you got the horse experience.
Speaker 4: They're probably willing to pay top dollar for those events.
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. It's all about So we were talking
Speaker 3: about ballpark food. You spend a lot of time in airports.
Speaker 2: Yes, is there any specific airport that sticks out to
Speaker 2: you that it has good footers at all?
Speaker 4: The same You know, we've talked about this last year
Speaker 4: or so of trying to eat healthier. So I actually
Speaker 4: when I first started in the airlines, it was easy
Speaker 4: just go to Wendy's, McDonald's whatever, get a French fries
Speaker 4: and a burger. I actually gave up French fries, try
Speaker 4: to give up fast food, and so now I actually
Speaker 4: like healthy, like you said, salads and San Francisco has
Speaker 4: some pretty good food there, but you're gonna pay like
Speaker 4: a ridiculous amount of money. But they have some pretty
Speaker 4: good food. A lot of West Coast places have kind
Speaker 4: of that healthy vibe going. But right, you're gonna you're
Speaker 4: gonna pay for it though, Yeah, so.
Speaker 2: You know it's also what's funny is is on TikTok,
Speaker 2: I'll be scrolling to my I've seen an influx in
Speaker 2: my TikTok videos of airline people like you posting here's
Speaker 2: my day in the airlines. And it's actually I think
Speaker 2: it's pretty cool. I was just watching one of the
Speaker 2: pilots got off one time and he went and walked around.
Speaker 3: So life for you is a pilot. You fly in somewhere.
Speaker 2: Obviously you're visiting with us today because you're here in Louisville,
Speaker 2: but you fly into another city, what.
Speaker 3: Do you what do you all do? How long do
Speaker 3: you guys usually stay?
Speaker 4: Well, that's a good question. The answer is it all depends. Right.
Speaker 4: So today I was supposed to be here for two nights,
Speaker 4: thirty hours. I was supposed to have all day off
Speaker 4: here and it was going to be great. Landed in
Speaker 4: San Diego last night and they said, oh, by the way,
Speaker 4: you're going to Phoenix. You're not laying over in San Diego.
Speaker 4: So it's a lot of I mean, you've seen all
Speaker 4: the meltdowns that's been going on with the airlines, So
Speaker 4: at any time as a pilot, you could land somewhere
Speaker 4: and they could say, hey, by the way, you're not
Speaker 4: going to stay here, You're going to go someplace else.
Speaker 4: So but a typical day, if everything's going right for me,
Speaker 4: I land someplace. I'm a runner, so I like to run.
Speaker 4: I look up a good route to go run in
Speaker 4: if there is one, and then I typically will do that,
Speaker 4: go get a bite to eat, and then it's usually
Speaker 4: pretty much off the bed because I'm old now and
Speaker 4: I like to go to bed early, so I have
Speaker 4: a little extra time, you know, I'll check out. Just
Speaker 4: the other day, I was in Philadelphia and I ran
Speaker 4: down by the rock they call them the Rocky Stairs. Yeah.
Speaker 4: It's amazing to me that that movie came out what
Speaker 4: forty or fifty years ago, and there are still constant
Speaker 4: people videoing themselves running up and down those stairs. And
Speaker 4: there's a little rocky statue on the side and stuff.
Speaker 4: So I like going seeing things like that. Cool stuff.
Speaker 4: I was in San Francisco. I went by the Fuller househouse.
Speaker 4: I don't know oh yeah, yeah, yeah, my kids love
Speaker 4: that show. So I went by there and again, it's
Speaker 4: been forty fifty years. People are still walking up taking selfies.
Speaker 3: So they still go through the whole drilling.
Speaker 2: Now, you and I served together in the military, lived
Speaker 2: together in San Diego for a little bit, and you
Speaker 2: moved on to bigger and better things. You're now an
Speaker 2: airline pilot. I'm stuck here in radio. So we definitely
Speaker 2: went two different ways. But you know, being a pilot
Speaker 2: now you've been. You were an etube guy.
Speaker 3: Okay, when you were in the Navy, Yes, started as
Speaker 3: an air traffic controller. When you and I were together
Speaker 3: on Constellation, and I was just a straight up badmint guy.
Speaker 2: You were. You were the one that had all the
Speaker 2: fine You were the air traffic controller. You decided to
Speaker 2: go to college on the Navy's die. Pretty cool deal,
Speaker 2: wasn't it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't a You know, our our twin brother
Speaker 4: Jason kind of showed me how to get good grades
Speaker 4: because I didn't in high school. So Jason went through
Speaker 4: the same program. I went through an ROTC program and
Speaker 4: then ended up going into the Navy. You know, being
Speaker 4: a navigator, and I knew I wanted to be a pilot,
Speaker 4: so ended up working my way through all my pilot
Speaker 4: ratings and whatnot, and then still serving in the reserves
Speaker 4: in Pennsacola, Florida. But you know, it's funny because you
Speaker 4: go back to when you and I first started. I
Speaker 4: mean I showed up at the USS consolation in nineteen
Speaker 4: ninety five and Scott had talked me into joining the Navy.
Speaker 4: He said, joined the Navy.
Speaker 3: It's also Scott.
Speaker 4: Was on shore duty, living the good life. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: I went straight to an aircraft carrier that was deployed.
Speaker 4: I'm living with two hundred other men in that early
Speaker 4: but we had some really good times. We would go
Speaker 4: down to Tijuana and what a sports scene in San Diego. Yeah,
Speaker 4: a lot of people, you know don't realize that Southern California.
Speaker 4: But going to the Chargers games. And remember when we
Speaker 4: went to the Super Bowl in nineteen ninety seven. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was Green Bay and Denver, Denver, Yeah, and we
Speaker 4: just hopped a little wall. It just walked around the
Speaker 4: parking lot and just went around and tailgated with everything.
Speaker 3: You know. I tell that story.
Speaker 2: I tell that story every year at Super Bowl time
Speaker 2: because there's people that still hadn't heard it. And when
Speaker 2: you look at the Super Bowl now, you can't get
Speaker 2: within you know, three miles of the place. Yeah, And
Speaker 2: like you said, you and I grabbed the cooler that
Speaker 2: morning and just decided, let's stop off at seven to eleven,
Speaker 2: grab ourselves a few bruis, put them in the cooler.
Speaker 3: In fact, if I remember right, some people were offering
Speaker 3: us money for it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just walk around the stadium and take it
Speaker 2: all in.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And you can't get anywhere near Super Bowl now. That's
Speaker 2: how big the game has got in the NFL at
Speaker 2: least it's got.
Speaker 4: Yeah. In two thousand and three, I went to the
Speaker 4: Super Bowl and sold programs with my rotc Oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that was just seven years from when you
Speaker 4: and I were there, and you couldn't you know, the
Speaker 4: parking lot was like an amusement park. It wasn't just tailgate,
Speaker 4: you know, pull your car up. And I did end
Speaker 4: up walking around the field that morning because I just
Speaker 4: snuck in and somebody eventually told me I should probably
Speaker 4: not be there, but right, but yeah, San Diego was
Speaker 4: a was a really good and it still is a
Speaker 4: good sports town. You were talking about the Padres and
Speaker 4: a lot of fun stuff. And now Jim Harball is
Speaker 4: out in La.
Speaker 2: So and and Jim Harbaugh story that you're close to
Speaker 2: was he at the University of San Diego when you
Speaker 2: were there.
Speaker 3: He that's where you went to school.
Speaker 4: His first job was University of San Diego. He started
Speaker 4: the year after I graduated. Okay, so, yeah, and nobody
Speaker 4: knew him. University of San Diego does not have a
Speaker 4: scholarship football team, and he ended up making a quarterback
Speaker 4: out of there who went to the NFL. And this
Speaker 4: is a non scholarship I mean you go to a
Speaker 4: game there, it's like going to a local high school game. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and yeah, he did really well. Then he went to
Speaker 4: Stanford in Michigan.
Speaker 2: You know, if I'm not mistake, Yeah, because if I'm
Speaker 2: not mistaken, Moorehead State plays San Diego Moorhead States in
Speaker 2: the Pineer Football League. Yeah, and they make that trip
Speaker 2: to and from and San Diego come out here to
Speaker 2: play too. But yeah, and I knew that Harball was
Speaker 2: there about the time you were there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he started a year after I had left.
Speaker 2: So and and you know, we were talking sports and
Speaker 2: again my little bros in town, and he just got
Speaker 2: in here, probably about nine minutes ago. He flies for
Speaker 2: American Airlines. He's got to lay over here in Louisville.
Speaker 2: So we're visiting for a little bit, kind of doing
Speaker 2: it on the air, so you get to hear a
Speaker 2: little bit of that as we do. I remember you
Speaker 2: and I were on a Western Pacific cruise and we
Speaker 2: pulled into Singapore. We were in Singapore and you somehow
Speaker 2: got tired and you were sober when this happened. You
Speaker 2: got talked into playing rugby.
Speaker 3: Yes, And I think every time I see this on
Speaker 3: the Olympics, I think of you. And I remember we.
Speaker 2: Met a couple of ladies that were there with us,
Speaker 2: and I stayed back with the ladies.
Speaker 3: You went out and the one lady told me, she
Speaker 3: goes He's gonna get killed, and you did.
Speaker 2: I just remember your face just being bloodied by the
Speaker 2: time you were done.
Speaker 4: It was kind of like that scene and Friends where
Speaker 4: Ross goes out to play rugby. Uh yeah, I was
Speaker 4: literally we were watching videos on the ship. I had
Speaker 4: no idea how to play rugby, and we're watching videos
Speaker 4: on how to play rugby. But the good news was
Speaker 4: there was free beer afterwards.
Speaker 3: That's right, That's right, they threw that one.
Speaker 2: Not like a country club we went to. It was
Speaker 2: like the equivalent of a country club. It was some
Speaker 2: sort of club.
Speaker 4: It was pretty big. Yeah, I'm not sure what it was,
Speaker 4: but it was. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was a bunch of British speaking people. Yeah, never,
Speaker 3: but but you did.
Speaker 2: And see that's what we talked about when we were
Speaker 2: talking about we had the Olympics on here in the
Speaker 2: studio and you know, just some of the international sport
Speaker 2: that we've been able to partake of and at least
Speaker 2: witness through our travels and whatnot. But it certainly has
Speaker 2: been fun. Now, so just some folks kind of paint
Speaker 2: this picture. You and I came in and listened together.
Speaker 2: I was already in the navy. You graduated ninety four,
Speaker 2: You came in, you joined. It wasn't like you went
Speaker 2: to these new state of the art aircraft carriers too.
Speaker 2: We were on I don't want to call it a
Speaker 2: floating toilet, but it was pretty close. I mean that
Speaker 2: thing was built like two days after World War Two ended, right,
Speaker 2: and one of the last conventional carriers. All I remember
Speaker 2: is you were lucky if you had hot water. I
Speaker 2: remember we were in the Persian golf.
Speaker 3: Oh is it?
Speaker 2: We were in the Persian golf in July, hottest time
Speaker 2: of the year to be there, and you literally had
Speaker 2: to change your bedding almost every hour because you were
Speaker 2: sweating that much.
Speaker 3: In cramped in areas. Yep. And but you know, when
Speaker 3: you look back on it, you look where it got you. Here,
Speaker 3: you are flying Now what what do you fly for? American? Now?
Speaker 4: What do you I'm on the airbus three twenty okay,
Speaker 4: so okay, yeah, And it's definitely, I mean, it's a
Speaker 4: it's a far comparison from where I was then, did.
Speaker 3: I'm saying at the Gould House?
Speaker 4: But those were those were good times, you know, those
Speaker 4: were what got us through to where we are. But
Speaker 4: I think without those experiences, you know, you can't.
Speaker 2: And when you were you always wanted to be a pilot.
Speaker 2: But when did you know you know, you were a
Speaker 2: navigator on a need to But when did you know
Speaker 2: what point along this journey I'm talking about, from when
Speaker 2: you left high school to where you are right now,
Speaker 2: did you say, hey, I think I'm onto something.
Speaker 4: I think it was going back to those days that
Speaker 4: you're talking about when I was on the aircraft carry
Speaker 4: I actually have a little journal I wrote in and
Speaker 4: it was from like nineteen ninety five and we were
Speaker 4: finishing up my first deployment and I said, what I
Speaker 4: really want to do is write be a pilot. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I have a picture of that somewhere. But I
Speaker 4: think when we were on deployment, I actually bought a
Speaker 4: book this out naive I was, and it said how
Speaker 4: to become a commercial pilot. Nonet didn't exist then, right
Speaker 4: pretty right now, if anybody out there wanted to become
Speaker 4: a pilot, just google how do I become a pilot
Speaker 4: and they could do it. I think I bought a
Speaker 4: book and now I look back at it, it's so funny.
Speaker 4: But no, Yeah, if anybody wants to be a pilot now,
Speaker 4: I mean you literally just google it and it's yeah,
Speaker 4: it's going to tell you.
Speaker 3: And you you almost made it here for thunder over
Speaker 3: Louisville A couple of times, almost just missed it. That
Speaker 3: would have been.
Speaker 4: Last year to try. I'm gonna I think I'm gonna
Speaker 4: try next year and then I think I'm gonna be
Speaker 4: retired out of the reserves.
Speaker 3: Are you? But you're gonna try to get it on
Speaker 3: the E two?
Speaker 4: Well, there's a T six that's what I'm at right
Speaker 4: Pensacol and they got a training airplane, so it's a
Speaker 4: smaller airplane out at school. But but yeah, so we'll
Speaker 4: see because I thunder over Louisville is ridiculous. Kind of
Speaker 4: a kind of a party, kind of a big deal.
Speaker 2: I remember one time you came in here and you're
Speaker 2: you're the E two and you came in you guys
Speaker 2: stopped here at the at the Ater National Guard, and
Speaker 2: it's a big deal because people don't see the E
Speaker 2: two in here in Louisville. In fact, if you go
Speaker 2: out there, did you see the the is it the
Speaker 2: C five that's out there right now?
Speaker 4: I think I did see something the Pittsburgh International Guard.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And but you don't see the E two,
Speaker 2: which for those that are listening, that's the one with
Speaker 2: the radar dome on top the prop. But you came
Speaker 2: in here, and what people don't understand is you can't
Speaker 2: just pull in here, stop off, go use the bathroom,
Speaker 2: grab something out of the vending machine, and leave. You
Speaker 2: guys need certain things to get it's going, don't you
Speaker 2: like power units?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a it's a pretty old airplane, so you
Speaker 4: know when you pull up now, you got to have
Speaker 4: a Huffer car. Just start an electrical plug in Huffer car.
Speaker 3: That sounds like our old man.
Speaker 4: It's just a fun word, right, right, and the old
Speaker 4: Huffer car. Right.
Speaker 3: But no, when you were here, you didn't know if
Speaker 3: you had one.
Speaker 4: Right, So you have to call ahead, and then you
Speaker 4: got to if you do have to land, you don't
Speaker 4: have one, you got to start calling around different places
Speaker 4: and trying to piece something together that might, you know,
Speaker 4: get your airplane to start. But yeah, that was, yeah,
Speaker 4: that was a while ago. It was about fifteen years ago,
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 2: So, So tell me all this as much as you
Speaker 2: can tell me. I don't want to put you on
Speaker 2: the spot because it is your mainstay in your job,
Speaker 2: and I want you to get you in trouble with
Speaker 2: any corporate folks.
Speaker 3: But what's all this airline melee stuff about what is
Speaker 3: going on? Dude?
Speaker 4: I think just more people are traveling and that's that's
Speaker 4: stress in the system. You know, you talk about the
Speaker 4: pilot shortage and then the way airlines are being managed.
Speaker 4: The airlines are growing as the airline murder. I mean,
Speaker 4: if you look at American airlines, their history is just
Speaker 4: murder after merger after merger, and now there's fifteen thousand pilots,
Speaker 4: sixteen thousand pilots and trying to manage all that. I
Speaker 4: will say this, at least we're not Delta.
Speaker 3: At least round one. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Now, I think it's just growing pains. And you know,
Speaker 4: air travel, you know, when we we were traveling as kids,
Speaker 4: was a lot different than it is now, much different.
Speaker 4: I think it's just trying to keep up with technology.
Speaker 4: We saw two weeks ago how technology can shut everything
Speaker 4: down pretty quick. So but at the same time, it's
Speaker 4: a double edged store because it helps, you know, it
Speaker 4: makes the airline run a lot more efficient too.
Speaker 2: So we're spending we're spending some time with my little
Speaker 2: brothers in town on a layover.
Speaker 3: We're talking a little airline busins. I got a couple
Speaker 3: more questions for you about the airline biz. John and
Speaker 3: Alden is with us too as well.
Speaker 2: John is just sitting back there, just chilling out, listening
Speaker 2: to us, taking it in. I know, brother, I appreciate you, man,
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna get this, eat this, not that ballpark
Speaker 2: menu up there.
Speaker 3: We'll talk some more of my brother visit with him.
Speaker 2: We got about another hour and fifteen minutes to go here,
Speaker 2: and then we're gonna get out of here and me
Speaker 2: and my little brogram gonna get something neat Now I'm
Speaker 2: head over Lynn Family Stadium. But we're having fun. We're
Speaker 2: just you know, shooting the you know what around here.
Speaker 2: Right Hey, we're back after this on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: Look at you, John Alden. You're Johnny on the spot
Speaker 2: with the music.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 2: That's you your best you do you do such a
Speaker 2: great job with that. Hey, John Alden's down there, he's
Speaker 2: in Studio E. I'm Scott Fitzgerild over here in Studio B,
Speaker 2: busying with my little bro for a little bitty flies
Speaker 2: for American Airlines. Just came into town, and I gonna
Speaker 2: be here for just a little bit. We're gonna visit,
Speaker 2: go have some dinner. I'm gonna head over to the
Speaker 2: Low City game. Speaking of the Olympics, you heard that theme.
Speaker 2: By the way, Germany up on Brazil now in men's
Speaker 2: basketball eighty to sixty eight, and of course you have
Speaker 2: well it looks like they're running the three on three
Speaker 2: for the men's Serbia and USA. Serbia up on team
Speaker 2: USA right now. Fourteen to eleven. John, I don't know
Speaker 2: if you had a chance to catch some of the
Speaker 2: women's three with Haley van Litt and Ryan Howard this afternoon.
Speaker 3: I did not.
Speaker 2: It wasn't pretty, Oh man, it wasn't pretty. And of
Speaker 2: course they're defending gold medalists. Hailey Haley, she she was Hailey.
Speaker 2: I mean, she was tough, she was she was pushing
Speaker 2: her way around Ryan. Now, Ryan Howard has been dealing
Speaker 2: with injuries. You know, she was coming in as the
Speaker 2: Atlanta Dreams leading scorer, one of the top scores in
Speaker 2: the w NBA, and then she messed up her ankle,
Speaker 2: and you can tell that's kind of Quase still bothering
Speaker 2: her a little bit. But Hailey, I thought we'd see
Speaker 2: a little bit more out of her. We'll see if
Speaker 2: they can rebound and get it back. But they start
Speaker 2: out with it with an l in defense of their
Speaker 2: gold medal against Germany. So more sports going on there.
Speaker 2: We do have men soccer going on right now. It
Speaker 2: looks like Japan is up on Israel right now. One
Speaker 2: nothing that in the second period. It looks like they
Speaker 2: are adding eight minutes of stoppage time. They're in the
Speaker 2: fourth minute of that stoppage time. So Japan on top
Speaker 2: of Israel in the Olympic Games, team USA beating UH.
