Speaker 1: It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day, now here's Nick Coffee.
Speaker 2: So I've had a few people on the text line
Speaker 2: mentioned the angle of the video that I posted of
Speaker 2: me throwing out the first pitch at the Bats game
Speaker 2: last night and saying that I did that strategically to
Speaker 2: not make it look as bad. I did not do
Speaker 2: that strategically. That was our man, Austin Montgomery, who you know,
Speaker 2: is our teammate here at iHeart. He also works with
Speaker 2: the Louisville Bats, and he came out on the field
Speaker 2: and got the video for me, but he was just
Speaker 2: standing where they had us, you know, walk out there
Speaker 2: to do the pitch, and that's that's the angle that
Speaker 2: he that he had. And I'll tell you, yes, it
Speaker 2: did make it look better than it actually was because
Speaker 2: of the view. However, you know, I'm willing to acknowledge
Speaker 2: it was very high on outside. And man, I owe
Speaker 2: buddy bat because he really had to work to get
Speaker 2: that in his mit and not let it, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe go into the stands and injure somebody. So not
Speaker 2: only did he did he not make me look as bad?
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I look good, but he didn't make
Speaker 2: me look as bad. But also he might have saved
Speaker 2: the life. But that's what you'd expect from Buddy bat
Speaker 2: He's the best. But yes, yeah, that side view was
Speaker 2: probably very generous when it comes to the other angles
Speaker 2: that you could have you could have got that would
Speaker 2: have made it look, you know, pretty bad. All right,
Speaker 2: it is coffee and Company and we are fueled by
Speaker 2: Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Appreciate you hanging
Speaker 2: out with us. If you want to join us on
Speaker 2: the show, you can. I've yet to mention that, but
Speaker 2: usually our regulars know the way. You can text in
Speaker 2: five O two six five three zero seven ninety on
Speaker 2: the Ellen and Federal Credit Union text lines. Some text
Speaker 2: already rolling in today and I'll get to I'll get
Speaker 2: to more of them throughout the show today, and if
Speaker 2: you want to, if you want to give us a call.
Speaker 2: We had some callers earlier that dropped off because you know,
Speaker 2: I just got to yapping and I am not in
Speaker 2: studio today, so I didn't have the screen thing up.
Speaker 2: But again, we'll open up the pall ones a little
Speaker 2: bit later on. We are expecting a guest coming up
Speaker 2: here any moment now, and that's the one the only
Speaker 2: doctor Larry Ben's of pro Reap Physical Therapy looking forward
Speaker 2: to to our weekly chat with him. But also, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, I want to know about the Colin Lacy injury,
Speaker 2: not the specifics and you know, details inside info because
Speaker 2: you know, they can't give us that and I would
Speaker 2: never ask them that, meaning those that are you know,
Speaker 2: involved in the process. But what does the next you know,
Speaker 2: two weeks look like for him? Right? He had surgery,
Speaker 2: I guess this past weekend, and you know, now we
Speaker 2: uh now we wait to see you know, if it
Speaker 2: make guess, We're we're gonna be waiting a long time
Speaker 2: to get any kind of anupdate. Right, it's a six
Speaker 2: to eight week window. He just had surgery. So I'm
Speaker 2: sure every now and then you'll hear someone ask Jeff
Speaker 2: Bram or maybe Brian Bram when they have their media availability,
Speaker 2: but they're not going to give you any I mean
Speaker 2: they can in fact, they're not the ones who really
Speaker 2: I mean, they're giving an up when a notable update
Speaker 2: is available. And right now, I'm sure it's just he's
Speaker 2: on the shelf and he's probably still you know, as
Speaker 2: far as the rehab process, again, that's something Larry can
Speaker 2: help us with. But as far as the rehab process, like,
Speaker 2: I'm curious really when that starts, right, how long after
Speaker 2: you have surgery, does you know, does that process start
Speaker 2: to kind of you know, heal and and try to
Speaker 2: get back to where you were able to play. So
Speaker 2: again we're expecting doctor Ben's here any moment. But a
Speaker 2: lot of people saying that, I'm I'm crazy for thinking
Speaker 2: that Tom Brady dunking at forty seven in genes is
Speaker 2: is that impressive? I mean, again, what you here's what
Speaker 2: I'll say. As far as how impressive it is, that's
Speaker 2: really just one man's opinion, right. I'm sure there's things
Speaker 2: that I think are super impressive that you guys don't.
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's things that you know, you think are
Speaker 2: super impressive that I would never think is impressive. So
Speaker 2: it really is just a matter of opinion when it
Speaker 2: comes to that. But what I'm trying to emphasize is
Speaker 2: that I don't think that that is as doable as
Speaker 2: a lot of people think. But again, Tom Brady was
Speaker 2: a professional athlete there for him doing something like that
Speaker 2: shouldn't be that big of a shock. Maybe that's the
Speaker 2: way I should look at him. For those are wondering
Speaker 2: what the heck we're talking about. There's a video of
Speaker 2: Tom Brady at forty seven dunking a basketball in jeans,
Speaker 2: and yes, he's six four. But I just if you
Speaker 2: would have told me Tom Brady couldn't ever dunk a
Speaker 2: basketball at any point in his life, I would have
Speaker 2: believed you, because you know, you can be tall. You
Speaker 2: could be six seven and not be able to dunk
Speaker 2: a basketball. Now, if you're six seven and you can
Speaker 2: talk a basketball, it may be because you have like
Speaker 2: a little bit of athleticism in you. But have you
Speaker 2: ever I mean, there are a kid there I should say.
Speaker 2: I mean not just kids. I'm sure there are people
Speaker 2: that are adults now, but like, I think every school
Speaker 2: that I could think of probably had a really tall
Speaker 2: kid that you just wondered, why doesn't he play on
Speaker 2: the basketball team? And then you like, you know, it's
Speaker 2: pretty explainable, Well, he doesn't have an ounce of athleticism
Speaker 2: in his body. I mean, there was a kid at
Speaker 2: our school that was older than me. Whenever we were
Speaker 2: I think I was a sophomore. He was a senior.
Speaker 2: And he was our mascot, dressed up as the Eagle.
Speaker 2: He was six ' nine maybe six ' ten, and
Speaker 2: you know, he actually could dunk, by the way, because
Speaker 2: he was so tall, but it wasn't anything impressive. It
Speaker 2: was almost like he could barely dunk it. And you know,
Speaker 2: we saw him play basketball and like pe and stuff,
Speaker 2: and you realize, yeah, I mean, if he played on
Speaker 2: the team, he'd give you some size that the other
Speaker 2: team can be worried about when you're warming up, but
Speaker 2: like he'd never leave the bench.
Speaker 3: So anyways, the one thing that reminds me of and
Speaker 3: this may or may not be the same thing, but
Speaker 3: whenever I was in high school, sometimes the football team
Speaker 3: would recruit soccer players to be kickers if they didn't
Speaker 3: have anybody who was a kicker on their team. But
Speaker 3: soccer kicking and pat kicking are a whole lot different.
Speaker 3: Not that I ever tried, but those who usually did
Speaker 3: tended to fail for the football.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a part of me that like, maybe
Speaker 2: it's because I was so bad as an athlete compared
Speaker 2: to I mean, I was so bad at all sports
Speaker 2: other than basketball. It's not said I was great at basketball,
Speaker 2: but I actually find it humbling, and because there are
Speaker 2: so many, like there are very few people on the
Speaker 2: planet that I feel like could actually be elite professional
Speaker 2: athletes in multiple sports, and we're talking about like maybe
Speaker 2: people on you know, two three fingers, like Lebron James.
Speaker 2: I do believe that if Lebron James in his prime athletically,
Speaker 2: which it doesn't seem like he. I feel like Lebron
Speaker 2: has a prime at all times, Like I don't know when,
Speaker 2: you know, and I'm not here to gas up Lebron,
Speaker 2: but like, Lebron is a once in a lifetime athlete
Speaker 2: and I don't know if we'll ever see anything like
Speaker 2: that again. What I'm getting at though, is when it
Speaker 2: comes to when it comes to like Lebron, it wouldn't
Speaker 2: shock me if he just decided, you know, ten years ago,
Speaker 2: you know what, basketball was great. I've got a lot
Speaker 2: of rings. I'm now going to focus myself fully on
Speaker 2: being a professional football player and I'm gonna be a receiver.
Speaker 2: If Lebron James was a successful receiver, I would not
Speaker 2: be shocked. But I do think for some reason, I
Speaker 2: just like to see people humbled when they think that
Speaker 2: they're so good at this sport and they's so athletic
Speaker 2: that they could just automatically go over to another sport
Speaker 2: and and be good at it. I mean, there's some
Speaker 2: people that probably could do it but wouldn't be good,
Speaker 2: and there's some that would embarrass themselves. So it's always
Speaker 2: nice to be humbled. But anyways, let's bring him in.
Speaker 2: He's doctor Larry Ben's of pro Rea Physical Therapy. Let's
Speaker 2: ask Larry the question. Larry tom Brady forty seven years old,
Speaker 2: professional athlete. Of course, he's now retired. A guy who
Speaker 2: is up there as far as somebody that you just
Speaker 2: know took care of their body better than most throughout
Speaker 2: their career. Also, he played a position that for the
Speaker 2: most part he wasn't getting hit. But at forty seven
Speaker 2: years old, Larry tom Brady is dunking a basketball with
Speaker 2: ease while wearing blue jeans. I have shared throughout the
Speaker 2: show today that I think that's very impressive and I'm
Speaker 2: very surprised to see that he can do that. But
Speaker 2: I've learned that a lot of people think I'm an
Speaker 2: idiot and that they don't think that's that surprising, because
Speaker 2: you know, he's six or four and he's a pro athlete.
Speaker 2: I still think it's rare than people would expect.
Speaker 4: No, I think you're right. I mean, take his name
Speaker 4: off the moniker for a second and just say, give
Speaker 4: you a standardized test that a forty seven year old
Speaker 4: can take a one legged hop, a two legged you know,
Speaker 4: high jump you know where you're literally mentioned, or broad
Speaker 4: jump where you're measuring straight up, and those are standardized tests.
Speaker 4: In fact, they screen football players for him. Well, in
Speaker 4: his age group, he's got to be off the charts.
Speaker 4: He's got to be at the ninety nine percent level.
Speaker 4: And that's impressive. And to your point, he's you know,
Speaker 4: I don't know if you'd call the most naturally gifted
Speaker 4: athlete in the world, but you'd certainly call him the
Speaker 4: one who made the most out of what he had
Speaker 4: and made it better. If you look at his body
Speaker 4: from the time he was a rookie and go back
Speaker 4: and YouTube that, will you know, tryout in Indianapolis where
Speaker 4: in that sprint he doesn't even look like an athlete
Speaker 4: at all.
Speaker 2: He doesn't. He belongs.
Speaker 4: No, it's exactly right. And what he's done through a
Speaker 4: series of nutrition and fitness and sleep and monitoring and
Speaker 4: data and science is is amazing irrespective of his accomplishments
Speaker 4: on the football field.
Speaker 2: And you know, he didn't stop playing football because his
Speaker 2: body just gave out. Now, he probably had lost a
Speaker 2: little bit on his arm, he wasn't as polished as
Speaker 2: he might have been. But I mean, I mean, I
Speaker 2: think he you know, just given the way he was protected,
Speaker 2: in the way he plays the position, and how well
Speaker 2: as you as you mentioned, he takes care of his body,
Speaker 2: he could probably still play. And it wouldn't It wouldn't
Speaker 2: shock me. He could still be starting in the NFL
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 4: Well, he certainly could play in a platoon type system
Speaker 4: where I feel like in his last years, not just
Speaker 4: at New England, but particularly when he got to Tampa,
Speaker 4: all the scheme was built around what he could still
Speaker 4: do physically. Sure, and that's not any different than if
Speaker 4: you have a certain style quarterback in college that you're
Speaker 4: building a scheme around. So I think you're right. Could
Speaker 4: he start and make it through an entire season without
Speaker 4: getting hurt in a more standardized offense.
Speaker 2: Probably not.
Speaker 4: And yeah, the NFL is they always looking at the future,
Speaker 4: so they want, you know, the next superstar, and his
Speaker 4: career is I mean, Lesia I'm looking forward.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: The first game that he announces is the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys game, the four thirty game on Sunday, the
Speaker 4: eighth of September.
Speaker 2: That'll be a big one. What do you what are
Speaker 2: your expectations for him as a broadcaster. Obviously somebody who
Speaker 2: knows the game, somebody who I feel like will be
Speaker 2: He'll be good in the you know, but there's a transition,
Speaker 2: right going from being a player to being somebody that
Speaker 2: is in fact a part of the broadcast. I get
Speaker 2: the sense that a lot of people think he'll be
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, kind of kind of dry and
Speaker 2: kind of boring. I actually think he'll be pretty good.
Speaker 4: I am with you one hundred percent. If you look,
Speaker 4: he has sort of foreshadowed things in the last couple
Speaker 4: of months. He's been outspoken, he's been lecturing, he's been
Speaker 4: on YouTube, and he's really has a little bit almost
Speaker 4: of a little shock value. I mean, go look at
Speaker 4: some of his recent things that he said. What I
Speaker 4: think you're going to see is a better is an
Speaker 4: incredibly prepared announcer. If you remember Tony row in his
Speaker 4: first few years, he was just so prepared. Then he
Speaker 4: had kind of the hiccup, and then last year he
Speaker 4: had a good year. I think you're going to see
Speaker 4: Tom Brady. He's, you know, already probably the highest paid announcer,
Speaker 4: but I think he's going to do terrific and added
Speaker 4: dimension that's going to bring a large viewership. Viewership brings advertising,
Speaker 4: Advertising brings dollars, So I think it's gonna be a
Speaker 4: grand slam.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, and I think that's why he's making
Speaker 2: the big dollars, because they see, they see the potential
Speaker 2: in him, you know, making them a lot of money
Speaker 2: as well with those advertisers, no doubt about it. But
Speaker 2: doctor Larry Beinn's our guest joining us here on Sports
Speaker 2: Talk seven ninety. Larry, I've got a lot of questions
Speaker 2: when it comes to Colin Lacy. I'll start with just
Speaker 2: from a trainer's perspective of whenever he goes down, has
Speaker 2: the injury in their scrimmage? Is a broken collarbone something
Speaker 2: that you know, the professionals can can maybe sense right
Speaker 2: away depending on what he's telling them about his pain.
Speaker 2: Do you have to get the imaging done sort of?
Speaker 2: You know, how long do you think it was before
Speaker 2: they felt pretty confident? That this was in fact a
Speaker 2: collarbone injury that was going to need surgery.
Speaker 4: Yeah, literally seconds when he went down, he was likely
Speaker 4: grabbing his collarbone. If you go right to sort of
Speaker 4: your your neck, you'll see a muscle the sticking out
Speaker 4: that connects effectively your neck to the collarbone. Sternal clido
Speaker 4: mast it is what that's called technically, And usually when
Speaker 4: you get an injury like that, ones goes up and
Speaker 4: the collision goes the opposite way and you fracture it
Speaker 4: typically right at that point of where that muscle insertion is.
Speaker 4: It depends on your age and these these injuries are
Speaker 4: actually more common in youth. And I don't know his age,
Speaker 4: but he certainly played. You know, he played last year
Speaker 4: where at South Alabama or somewhere, so he's.
Speaker 2: Been twenty two.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Now it's a little scary on this one is
Speaker 4: a set extended period of time. Normally you're looking at
Speaker 4: you know, six eight weeks. I don't know if he
Speaker 4: had surgery. In all honesty, I don't think they've they've
Speaker 4: written anything about it the community.
Speaker 2: He posted a picture in the hospital indicating that he
Speaker 2: did have surgery. I believe the surgery was on Sunday, gotcha.
Speaker 4: So that would be more of a stability of that bone,
Speaker 4: and those are pretty serious surgeries, but they're sick to
Speaker 4: call it eight to twelve weeks. So you're you're looking
Speaker 4: at what we have two buys this year?
Speaker 2: Do we?
Speaker 4: I think so? I mean maybe at the end of
Speaker 4: the year and hopefully we picked up another receiver, as
Speaker 4: I'm told. So it's a really really tough injury and
Speaker 4: a really unusual one. We're kind of snake bit at
Speaker 4: u of l on wide receivers during training camps. If
Speaker 4: you go back historically between DeVante Parker and who is
Speaker 4: the wide receiver we had transferred from Notre Dame that
Speaker 4: was pretty good here his ankle and we've had those
Speaker 4: kind of injuries because they monitory.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Scott larry Is Michael Lee Harris remember his
Speaker 2: injury that took place during Yeah, I mean we have
Speaker 2: been You're right the it's I talked about earlier in
Speaker 2: the week. I remember Devonte coming back for such a
Speaker 2: special senior season, already a Louisville legend at his juniors
Speaker 2: after his junior season, but decided to come back for
Speaker 2: coach Petrino's first season back at Louisville, and I remember
Speaker 2: being at the State Fair and getting that getting you know,
Speaker 2: my phone being blown up by people? Did you hear
Speaker 2: about Devonte Parker? And I was just heartbroken. Same thing
Speaker 2: last Saturday, Larry I was at the state Fair. Same
Speaker 2: thing happened with Colin Lacy. So I'm gonna stay away
Speaker 2: from the State Fair on Saturdays when louis football has scrimmages.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go. And and you know, he looked
Speaker 4: like he was going to be one of our go
Speaker 4: to receivers. So it's a it's a tough one, but
Speaker 4: you know, I have so so much confidence in Brahms's
Speaker 4: ability to adopt to these situations, adapt the situations, especially
Speaker 4: so early in the season. And you know, we've got
Speaker 4: great coaching, great you know, hopefully enough roster players to
Speaker 4: make that work. But you know, we we we've seen
Speaker 4: the find a receiver that comes on, you know, early
Speaker 4: mid season who's kind of a one we didn't count on,
Speaker 4: kind of a sleeper, And so I suspect that's the
Speaker 4: same thing will happen this year.
Speaker 2: So one more one on Colin. What does the process
Speaker 2: look like for for so, if you had surgery, I
Speaker 2: guess is that something they feel like, Okay, we've we've
Speaker 2: we've got the ability to do it right away, so
Speaker 2: let's just do it. Or is it, hey, we've got
Speaker 2: to get we've got to have this surgery because if
Speaker 2: we you know, if he's out there without the surgery
Speaker 2: taking place, it could it could impact the rehabs, like
Speaker 2: what goes into the I mean if they had waited
Speaker 2: a week or two, I mean maybe that would have
Speaker 2: slowed down his recovery. I suppose, But I'm just curious about, like,
Speaker 2: when do they make that decision Okay, let's go ahead
Speaker 2: and get this operation done.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to sort of cut to the chase, the reality
Speaker 4: is it depends on the fracture and if they didn't
Speaker 4: feel that mother nature on its own would align, you know,
Speaker 4: the bone correctly and stabilize it, because usually you're in
Speaker 4: kind of a halter for lack of a better term.
Speaker 4: In this case, they must have felt like they needed
Speaker 4: to add more stability, so they reinfor Wurst. It likely
Speaker 4: with a plate, and the rehab for a while is
Speaker 4: really not much because you know, they'll get him on
Speaker 4: a bike and do some things cardio wized, but he
Speaker 4: needs to keep that thing stable for a good four
Speaker 4: to six weeks. I begin to use his shoulder and
Speaker 4: then there are some types of padding and other kind
Speaker 4: of things, you know, as he gets back into the
Speaker 4: simulation stage. But it's it's, uh, you know, it's a
Speaker 4: fracture healed with with with with surgery, and you know
Speaker 4: it's unfortunately going to take it to twelve weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so take away, let's just remove Colin Lacy from
Speaker 2: this question just in general, if you haven't an athlete,
Speaker 2: and I guess it all depends on what type of
Speaker 2: injury it is. Of course that's a big factor. But
Speaker 2: when you when the window is okay, man, we could
Speaker 2: really go through this rehab plan that's pretty pretty pretty fast.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And and it's it's we're fast tracking it, and it
Speaker 2: gives you a chance to maybe get a game or
Speaker 2: two in maybe three. But man, it's going to be tight,
Speaker 2: a tight window of Tom. It's best case scenario. I mean,
Speaker 2: could you know, not saying they're doing this with him specifically,
Speaker 2: but like whenever you know that the timeline is best
Speaker 2: case scenario, maybe they get in a game or two.
Speaker 2: You know, in the in the sports medicine world, is
Speaker 2: it common for the professionals to simply urge like you know,
Speaker 2: best case scenarios one or two. But we could go
Speaker 2: through this part. Part we could go through, we could
Speaker 2: take this path, and again it still doesn't give you
Speaker 2: a whole lot to play. We should probably just shelf
Speaker 2: you for a year and really give yourself time to
Speaker 2: fully recover. I'm sure that that comes up from time
Speaker 2: to time, right, people wanting to really rush it because
Speaker 2: they want to get on the field, but maybe having
Speaker 2: those that work in sports medicine tell them, look, I'm
Speaker 2: telling you what the best best option is for you,
Speaker 2: and that's to actually not even try to play this year,
Speaker 2: get fully healthy, and come back next year.
Speaker 4: Now that's a good point. That's why they have medical
Speaker 4: red shirts. I think the key in this is that
Speaker 4: it's a medical decision, not a football decision per se.
Speaker 4: And so as he progresses in his recovery, you know,
Speaker 4: post you know, eight weeks, let's say it starts to
Speaker 4: you know, get active, they'll make decisions and those decisions
Speaker 4: are based on objective data. For example, the X ray,
Speaker 4: what do the ends look like then that they're connected
Speaker 4: back on the collar bone, his ability to move his arm,
Speaker 4: you know, what does that motion look like is there
Speaker 4: swelling there? Then you start to get more into the
Speaker 4: you know, simulation and practice phase, and then can you
Speaker 4: take a hit, And all those will be objective signs
Speaker 4: and it will be a decision that the medical team
Speaker 4: will make and that in conjunction with him and his family,
Speaker 4: you know, or now today's day, I guess you could
Speaker 4: say his agent. Sure, you know, they'll make a decision,
Speaker 4: and maybe the best decision for him is to red shirt.
Speaker 4: But that's you know, that's that's not anything that at
Speaker 4: this stage you can tell.
Speaker 2: So with the uf L students and I guess students
Speaker 2: across the country going back to school this week, I
Speaker 2: know athletes are usually there earlier and some really stay
Speaker 2: year round or at least for the majority of the
Speaker 2: calendar year. So many student athletes now can enroll early,
Speaker 2: and a lot of them do. And even if you
Speaker 2: are someone that you know, if you're a basketball player,
Speaker 2: you know, you don't have that I guess you could potentially,
Speaker 2: but let's just say you arrive in the end of
Speaker 2: May or early June, whereas you know, the normal student
Speaker 2: students will be there closer to you know, this time
Speaker 2: of year, or maybe even students that don't. You know,
Speaker 2: there's some athletes that maybe don't get here until school starts.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's ideal, But I guess my question
Speaker 2: is now that we've seen more and more of these
Speaker 2: student athletes, these kids coming out of high school even
Speaker 2: skip a semester and graduate in December and enroll early
Speaker 2: in the sports medicine field, I mean, how much how
Speaker 2: not just sports medicine, but just training in general. Like,
Speaker 2: I'm just curious now that that's been a thing for
Speaker 2: some years now. I feel like when these guys do,
Speaker 2: in fact start school, they're kind of already ahead of
Speaker 2: the curve, right, They've been going through the strengthing, conditioning,
Speaker 2: they've been probably working with the team trainer. Like, I'm
Speaker 2: just curious that if that has I mean, I would
Speaker 2: imagine that's something that every program, every sport, across campuses
Speaker 2: across the country realized that if you can get there early,
Speaker 2: there is a real benefit to that.
Speaker 4: No, absolutely, and I think you have to look at
Speaker 4: this holistically. They start with better training in high school
Speaker 4: and even middle school these days, so their maturity level
Speaker 4: tends to be much greater. You know, they come into
Speaker 4: the program the coaches want them on campus. There's some
Speaker 4: exception for some of the incoming question, particularly because summer
Speaker 4: school is not cheap for anybody, including a university. But
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, they get accountability, they
Speaker 4: get learning specialists, tutors, they get to jump on their classes,
Speaker 4: maybe only taking one or two classes at the start
Speaker 4: rather than the traditional full lad you take during the fall.
Speaker 4: And it has helped. I mean, if you look at
Speaker 4: the data, the graduation rate in athletics is you know,
Speaker 4: upwards of ninety percent at Louisville, and you know, this
Speaker 4: goes back to the days of yore when people used
Speaker 4: to make fun of universities in urban schools for having
Speaker 4: kids that never graduated. So it really has had the
Speaker 4: intended effect that you really want, which his students success
Speaker 4: and you get them a degree.
Speaker 2: All right, One more question for you, Larry UK. They
Speaker 2: had an injury as well during camp. It's part of football.
Speaker 2: They're running back Chip trainer who transferred in from Ohio
Speaker 2: State is a broken hand. I think they said four
Speaker 2: weeks was the expected time for him to miss and
Speaker 2: could miss two maybe three games. Obviously you're not practicing
Speaker 2: taking any kind of contact while your hand is healing.
Speaker 2: But outside of that, I mean he's probably able to do.
Speaker 2: To me, that seems like an injury to where once
Speaker 2: you do get the green light play, you know, you
Speaker 2: haven't really missed a whole lot of it. Maybe just
Speaker 2: taking taking hits because again you've been you've been on
Speaker 2: the shelf.
Speaker 4: No, that's right, and you could participate in practice without contact,
Speaker 4: and that is you know, I'd say one of the
Speaker 4: milder forms of injuries that you can relay. And typically
Speaker 4: you're okay waiting the first couple of games until you
Speaker 4: get in a conference play. You know, there's been some
Speaker 4: incredible you know, training injuries. So you look at the
Speaker 4: University of Texas and they lost to what effectively five
Speaker 4: that running backs you know, during during this training camp,
Speaker 4: and so you're going to see some interesting you know
Speaker 4: dilemmas there. Everybody holds these athletes out, but maybe they
Speaker 4: hold them out too long. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were I think five running backs in the
Speaker 2: SEC that were expected to start that all suffered injuries,
Speaker 2: some season ending and then others that you know don't
Speaker 2: look good. They haven't said for sure that they're out
Speaker 2: for the years. So you know, uh, just just just
Speaker 2: part of the game. I'm sure you know it's never
Speaker 2: good news and you never just say, well, hey, you
Speaker 2: know that's I mean, it is part of it. But man,
Speaker 2: when it's when it's your team as a coach, or
Speaker 2: if you're the athlete that gets hurt yourself, I mean,
Speaker 2: it's it sucks all the way around.
Speaker 4: There's no doubt about it. But the good news is
Speaker 4: we got football this weekend.
Speaker 2: Oh yeh, that's right. Week zero's here, Louisville in action
Speaker 2: next week along with just about everybody else. It's exciting times.
Speaker 2: But Larry, I appreciate you making time for us. I
Speaker 2: know you're very busy, so again, big thanks to you.
Speaker 4: Go cards see it at the game, at the noon game.
Speaker 2: That's right, we're gonna take him down. Take care, Larry,
Speaker 2: take care. That's doctor Larry Ben's pro reap physical therapy.
Speaker 2: I always appreciate him making time for us. Eight days away,
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, Eight days away from Louisville football taken
Speaker 2: on Austin p Which. Speaking of Austin p did you
Speaker 2: guys see the story about one of their coaches who
Speaker 2: got arrested last week? Not good? I mean it won't
Speaker 2: have any impact on the game. But what a wild
Speaker 2: story you don't often see in college football. We'll get
Speaker 2: to that in a lot more. We got about an
Speaker 2: hour and a half left before we get out here
Speaker 2: for the weekend. Again, it's coffee and company. Feel about
Speaker 2: Thornton's on Sports Talk seven to ninety.
Speaker 4: A.
Speaker 2: Right, So, as we speak, there is a top twenty
Speaker 2: five recruit from the twenty twenty five glass visiting Louisville.
Speaker 2: Shelton Henderson is currently in Louisville right now, and I
Speaker 2: hope he's enjoying himself. If he's listening, you should just
Speaker 2: stay here and never leave Louisville. You should commit to
Speaker 2: Pat Kelsey in the cards and help get this thing
Speaker 2: back on track. He is a twenty twenty five kid,
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, which means he's a senior, and we'll
Speaker 2: be making this decision probably sooner rather than later. But
Speaker 2: this is one of his official visits that he has
Speaker 2: locked in and his other visits because again these are
Speaker 2: the schools he's now considering. Duke Texas, Houston, and again
Speaker 2: Louisville is also in the mix. I think he had
Speaker 2: a top. I think he had a let's see here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he had a top six that came out not that
Speaker 2: long ago as he was getting his visits set up.
Speaker 2: So he's down to Duke, Texas Houston, LSU, Texas Tech,
Speaker 2: and Louisville. He is a grown ass man despite being
Speaker 2: a high school senior who may not have even started
Speaker 2: his high school yet. Most kids are probably back in
Speaker 2: school at this point. But yeah, six two twenty wing
Speaker 2: twenty four seven Sports has him as the eighteenth best
Speaker 2: player in the class. The composite rank rankings have him
Speaker 2: as the twenty fifth best player. He's the best. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: he's the third best player, uh at his position, which
Speaker 2: is small forward, and then again the number one player
Speaker 2: in the state of Texas. So big time talent. An
Speaker 2: official visit. Hopefully he's enjoying himself. And you know, Louisville,
Speaker 2: they got some tough competition, right You're talking about Texas
Speaker 2: Duke Houston with Calvin Samson and then Texas Tech. I
Speaker 2: don't know a whole lot about you know, how they're
Speaker 2: going to recruit with their new coach who came over
Speaker 2: from North Texas. But hey, you know, they've been pretty
Speaker 2: pretty damn good as of late. And he is a
Speaker 2: Texas kid. He's from. Is it the Dallas area? He
Speaker 2: is from bell Air, Texas, which not real familiar with it.
Speaker 2: But I'm hopeful that he resides in Louisville next season.
Speaker 2: For Pat Kelsey, they'd be a big time get, no doubt.
Speaker 2: So Pat Kelsey's pitched last night, of course, much better
Speaker 2: than mine. And whenever we were on the they did
Speaker 2: a picture after the after the everybody threw out the
Speaker 2: first pitch and they got one with everybody, and then
Speaker 2: they got one specifically for the folks that were there
Speaker 2: from from U of L. But when they got one
Speaker 2: with everybody involved, I told Moose, you know, hey, like
Speaker 2: you can stand over here with the guy who was
Speaker 2: taking the picture. And then he said, no, he can
Speaker 2: be in it. So he comes out and uh ufol's
Speaker 2: president Kim She, I mean she she said, we got
Speaker 2: to make sure we get our little guy in here,
Speaker 2: which made me feel good that they were you know,
Speaker 2: they weren't bobbed because I sometimes, you know, because I
Speaker 2: take my kids everywhere and I want my kids to
Speaker 2: be a part of a lot of cool stuff if
Speaker 2: I if I can make it happen. But you never
Speaker 2: know how certain people are going to feel about it.
Speaker 2: But to know that they weren't like they didn't think
Speaker 2: it was weird that I wanted him to be out
Speaker 2: there with me was was awesome. But once she said
Speaker 2: that that he could be in the picture, Pat Kelsey said,
Speaker 2: that's my next point guard. And I yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: I I mean, I might have been might have been
Speaker 2: the coolest thing that's ever happened to me. And I
Speaker 2: told Moose what he said, and you know, it's one
Speaker 2: of those moments like where he was like his eyes
Speaker 2: lit up a little bit, but I wanted him to
Speaker 2: be like, did you hear what I said?
Speaker 1: Son?
Speaker 2: You should be more excited. So anyway, he's a man
Speaker 2: of the people. He you know, he's he's he's really
Speaker 2: really taking full advantage of knowing that, you know, I
Speaker 2: can't coach games right now. The season doesn't start until
Speaker 2: until November. So all he's done as he's been a showman,
Speaker 2: right He's he's done every interview I think people have
Speaker 2: requested of him. He's put together a really good team
Speaker 2: that people are excited about. The trip to the Bahamas
Speaker 2: was such a great idea to not only get his
Speaker 2: team more acclimated and get them some reps together, but
Speaker 2: fans got a glimpse of what they're going to be
Speaker 2: working with this year, and we all know that the
Speaker 2: competition in the Bahamas is not what you're going to
Speaker 2: see night in a night out when you're playing against
Speaker 2: you know, real Division one teams that have a lot
Speaker 2: of talent, especially that tough non conference schedule that we've discussed.
Speaker 2: But man, basketball, Louisville is coming off of two terrible
Speaker 2: seasons three if you really think about it, I mean, actually, no,
Speaker 2: they have been. They're coming off of three awful seasons.
Speaker 2: The two most recently though, were you know, historically bad
Speaker 2: in a way that like will probably never happen again.
Speaker 2: And yet I get the sense that the vibes for basketball,
Speaker 2: you know, couldn't be better, right, I mean, we'll see,
Speaker 2: you know, obviously, you got to win games. I don't
Speaker 2: think expectations are set too high for Pat Kelcey in
Speaker 2: year one. But as I've said, really since the roster
Speaker 2: was finalized, knowing not only the personnel he has, but
Speaker 2: the way they want to play, I think this is
Speaker 2: an NC DOUBLEA tournament team, and if they don't make
Speaker 2: the nsable A tournament doesn't mean that, you know, we
Speaker 2: should be worried and this is going to be some
Speaker 2: failure because you just never know, right. But I think
Speaker 2: on paper, he put together a team and what we
Speaker 2: know about him as a coach, like, I think we
Speaker 2: should embrace an expectation level at minimum to be a
Speaker 2: tournament team. And I think would he would say the
Speaker 2: same thing.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: He's not going to come out at media day whenever
Speaker 2: that is and say we're a tournament team, we're better
Speaker 2: make the tournament, but I would be I mean, put
Speaker 2: it this way. He knows he's got a good team.
Speaker 2: He knows that he's got pieces to where if they
Speaker 2: as a staff can get these guys ready and you know,
Speaker 2: and do their part, this team can be good and
Speaker 2: they can win enough to be in the tournament safely.
Speaker 2: And I'm all over the place now because I don't
Speaker 2: want to say, you know, second week in Elite eight
Speaker 2: or just just a round of thirty two or anything
Speaker 2: like that, because it's I don't want to put that
Speaker 2: kind of like a set standard on it. But this
Speaker 2: team should be good. And another thing that we got
Speaker 2: to see in the Bahamas that I think we knew,
Speaker 2: but man, seeing it was awesome. They're going to be
Speaker 2: fun as hell to watch. They're going to fire up
Speaker 2: a lot of threes. They're rarely going to have a
Speaker 2: guy on the floor that you don't feel comfortable firing
Speaker 2: a three point shot if he's open, because that's just
Speaker 2: the type of that's the type of style that that
Speaker 2: Pat Kelsey plays. It's fun and it's successful. It's very successful,
Speaker 2: and we just hope that that success translates here. All Right.
Speaker 2: So I mentioned the Austin p assistant coach who was
Speaker 2: who resigned. He didn't get fired, but he resigned for
Speaker 2: for good reason, and that's because you know, he was
Speaker 2: about to be arrested. So I mean, this is, this
Speaker 2: is this is gross to be to be honest with you,
Speaker 2: and I hate to, you know, bring it up in
Speaker 2: such a light heart way because again it's disgusting. But
Speaker 2: Austin P's co offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Patrick
Speaker 2: Kugler was arrested on Sunday after he was involved in
Speaker 2: human trafficking for a commercial sex act. Pretty gross stuff, right,
Speaker 2: So if you're wondering sort of you know, like that
Speaker 2: what that means. It means he was involved in a
Speaker 2: sting where they found, you know, people wanting to meet
Speaker 2: victims of human trafficking, sex trafficking for you know, the
Speaker 2: worst thing. Yeah, he was arrested in Clarksville, Tennessee, which
Speaker 2: is where it took place. And yeah, it says over
Speaker 2: two day period the undercover operation started and it was
Speaker 2: on August sixteenth, which aimed to address the human trafficking
Speaker 2: issue that goes on in Montgomery County. That area in Tennessee.
Speaker 2: Officers play several decoy advertisements on website. It's known to
Speaker 2: be linked to prostitution and commercial sex. So they arrested
Speaker 2: six different people and uh, he was one of them.
Speaker 2: He's he has resigned and I think he resigned because
Speaker 2: he knew he'd gotten caught and they didn't actually bring
Speaker 2: down the indictment and arrest until maybe, you know, maybe
Speaker 2: they gave him some time to get his affairs in order.
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not quite sure, but yeah, awful, And
Speaker 2: there is a good part of this they did. In fact,
Speaker 2: they ended up identifying human trafficking victims and are getting
Speaker 2: them help. You know, these are people that you know,
Speaker 2: ended up in that in that awful life that I
Speaker 2: you know, oftentimes never, I mean I never, I mean,
Speaker 2: that's just awful. In every way, and it reminded me
Speaker 2: a little bit of something that has become really big
Speaker 2: in the TikTok world. And I guess I mean I
Speaker 2: say that, but yet I think what's really big on
Speaker 2: TikTok really depends on your algorithm. Like if if you're
Speaker 2: if you're somebody watching TikTok's or Instagram reels from start
Speaker 2: to finish that is that is you know, cooking recipes,
Speaker 2: then you know what, You're gonna see a lot of
Speaker 2: cooking recipes that end up appearing on your on your
Speaker 2: your feed. But every now and then I'll see a
Speaker 2: video that pops up and it's got you know, five
Speaker 2: million views, and it's not just popping up on TikTok.
Speaker 2: You know, you see it on Twitter. In fact, I
Speaker 2: think it's actually trending towards Twitter because it's not allowed
Speaker 2: to people they're getting pulled from from TikTok and Instagram.
Speaker 2: And what it is is that there are these random
Speaker 2: jos that they become, they decide to be Chris Hansen,
Speaker 2: if you know what I'm saying, Like they'll they'll set
Speaker 2: up I mean, I think peed Patrol is one of them.
Speaker 2: And there's another one that I don't know what they
Speaker 2: call themselves, maybe Dads Against Pedophiles or something like that.
Speaker 2: And they have their own operation where they set up
Speaker 2: and they pose as you know, young kids online and
Speaker 2: they you know, find many. I mean, they doesn't seem
Speaker 2: like they have any tough time finding grown people who
Speaker 2: are willing to meet somebody underage with the hopes of
Speaker 2: having you know, sex with them. It's just awful. So
Speaker 2: the reason I'm bringing this up as a long win
Speaker 2: way of me getting there is that these people who
Speaker 2: do it, you know, I guess just to be vigilantes, right.
Speaker 2: And look, if people who are doing this despicable stuff
Speaker 2: get exposed and it keeps them from doing it again,
Speaker 2: or they end up actually getting arrested, that's good. So
Speaker 2: I'm not knocking them. But what they do is they
Speaker 2: end up sometimes like hitting them and like assaulting them.
Speaker 2: Have you seen any of this, John, am I talking about?
Speaker 2: It's like a foreign thing to you. No, I mean,
Speaker 2: I know what it is, but I haven't seen it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Like they'll meet up with a dude and they're not
Speaker 2: dressed as cops. There's not a bunch of you know,
Speaker 2: law enforcements surrounding them. So these people who get caught
Speaker 2: doing it, you know, they don't run right away because
Speaker 2: they don't know if they're actually law enforcement or not. So,
Speaker 2: you know, once they realize they're not, and they just
Speaker 2: want to get away and they're not. I mean, sometimes
Speaker 2: they do call the police and they d up getting arrested,
Speaker 2: but there's many of these people that end up just
Speaker 2: getting exposed and their life is ruined for good reason,
Speaker 2: and they don't ever get arrested. So once they realize
Speaker 2: the people that are there are just there to expose
Speaker 2: them and ruin their life and teach them a lesson
Speaker 2: that they were about to do was terrible. You know,
Speaker 2: they sometimes end up being you know, combative, like they're
Speaker 2: not going to respond to random show on the internet
Speaker 2: with a camera that meets them as they would somebody
Speaker 2: that's a law enforcement offer the officer that's telling them
Speaker 2: you're under arrest, you know, hands up, get on the ground,
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. So when it gets to be
Speaker 2: like a contentious thing and they're not as willing to
Speaker 2: admit what they did and they're you know, basically like,
Speaker 2: who the hell are you? You know you're not a cop.
Speaker 2: These dudes, these two specifically there's all kinds of different
Speaker 2: people out there that do this stuff. As far as
Speaker 2: try to catch pedophiles, which you know, good for you.
Speaker 2: I mean that if we could get rid of pedophiles
Speaker 2: all together, that'd be great. But they just like they
Speaker 2: beat them up, and you know, it doesn't turn into
Speaker 2: like you know, they just completely you know, just pound
Speaker 2: their head into the the ground, but like you know,
Speaker 2: they'll they'll punch them, or they'll hit them upside the
Speaker 2: head or sometimes if they fight back. A lot of
Speaker 2: these people don't fight back. They just try to get
Speaker 2: away as best they can, and there's like a I
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't even know why I went this far.
Speaker 2: I mean, as far as talking about this, it started
Speaker 2: with just mentioning that Austin p the team louisvill place.
Speaker 2: Next week they lost their cofferensive coordinator who's a sexual predator,
Speaker 2: which is, you know, scum of the world. But knowing
Speaker 2: that these people deserve worse than getting beat up, there's
Speaker 2: a part of me that when I watch it, because
Speaker 2: they're humans, I just don't like to see that. But
Speaker 2: then again, I'm like, no, they should get something way
Speaker 2: worse than this, because they're probably mean, they're they're the
Speaker 2: lowest form of human life, people who harm innocent children.
Speaker 2: So it has become like the comments of those videos
Speaker 2: is an interesting read because you do see people who
Speaker 2: are like, hell yeah, I want to see I don't
Speaker 2: want to see these people go to prison unharmed and
Speaker 2: sit in protective custody and you know, isolation to where
Speaker 2: they never nobody ever gets their hands on them. They
Speaker 2: need to pay for what they did, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: And there's others that I think also just are kind
Speaker 2: of uncomfortable knowing that, like somebody's just getting, you know,
Speaker 2: getting the crap beat out of them. But I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: you know, for me, I end up always coming back
Speaker 2: to you know, you deserve worse than getting the crap
Speaker 2: beat out of you. Look at what you look at
Speaker 2: what you're accused of doing. So anyways, let's take a break,
Speaker 2: because that was a weird way to end a segment.
Speaker 2: I don't really know where since you transition after that,
Speaker 2: but we'll try, we'll try. We'll come back on the
Speaker 2: other side, keep the party rolling along. We've got another
Speaker 2: hour and some change to stick around. If I thirty,
Speaker 2: we're gonna bring him in. He is Kent Spencer from
Speaker 2: w h A S eleven looking forward to to chatting
Speaker 2: with him like we do every week, get his thoughts
Speaker 2: about the big matchups as high school football gets started
Speaker 2: around the area and a lot more. It's coffee and company.
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere if you'l bout Thorton's right here on
Speaker 2: Sports Talk seven ninety. That's right, coffee and company rolling
Speaker 2: along here on a Friday afternoon. So I uh. I
Speaker 2: mentioned this earlier in the show. I called it a
Speaker 2: sports wagering controversy. I'm not really sure that's the best
Speaker 2: way to describe it, but if you are somebody that
Speaker 2: is interested in in sports wagering, then you know that
Speaker 2: it's a big big It's a big deal on the internet, right,
Speaker 2: like there's I mean, I feel like every every day
Speaker 2: I end up on Twitter, I see of a new
Speaker 2: social media star that shares their picks that's got you know,
Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of followers. So you know it's a
Speaker 2: big deal, right, not only for these content creators, these influencers,
Speaker 2: if they are doing that creating content, influencing people, and
Speaker 2: it's specifically within the sports wagering space. Considering sports wagering
Speaker 2: is still very new in a lot of places, including
Speaker 2: around here. I mean, it's a good niche to have,
Speaker 2: if you know what I'm saying. So a lot of
Speaker 2: these sports books will partner with, you know, people who
Speaker 2: have a big following on Twitter or Instagram, and they
Speaker 2: will talk sports wagering to their followers and encourage them,
Speaker 2: of course, to make their wagers with a specific sports book. So,
Speaker 2: you know, it never surprises me when I see, you know,
Speaker 2: all these different accounts that have you know, become really
Speaker 2: big online because people follow them for sports wagering, entertainments,
Speaker 2: sports wagering, picks, whatever it may be, just content in general. Well,
Speaker 2: we've got a feud here. So there is a girl
Speaker 2: who goes by the name of Lucy Burge. Lucy Elle
Speaker 2: Burge is her name, and she is affiliated with the
Speaker 2: sports book called bet MGM, and she does something every
Speaker 2: day on her Twitter account where she walks and by
Speaker 2: the way, she's a gorgeous woman and she, you know,
Speaker 2: has a body that you know, looks like it was
Speaker 2: created in a laboratory. I mean, she's you know, she's
Speaker 2: easy on the eyes. As they say, I'm trying not
Speaker 2: to sound like perverted, but you know, she's really hot.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say that. And she you know, posts
Speaker 2: her link and she walks, so she walks with the
Speaker 2: with the her phone, you know, doing the selfie thing,
Speaker 2: and you can see, you know, how beautiful she is.
Speaker 2: She'll do some different you know, she'll move the camera
Speaker 2: to where you can see that she has had potentially
Speaker 2: some enhancements on the chest. Not sure maybe they're real,
Speaker 2: you know, but let's just say this. The chestickles, John,
Speaker 2: the sweater puppies, she's showing them off. And that's why
Speaker 2: these videos have you know, millions of views along you know,
Speaker 2: maybe I shouldn't say that, maybe that makes me sexist.
Speaker 3: But you know, it reminds me of the the NFL
Speaker 3: girl who would do like the Big ten conference meeting
Speaker 3: or the NFL meeting, like she kind of went viral
Speaker 3: because of her looks too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she sucks though I can't don't remember her name,
Speaker 2: and she's actually gotten a big gig since then. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I didn't. I don't like her because she's not to me.
Speaker 2: Allie's something anyway, it's not important, but regardless, you know,
Speaker 2: this was her thing. She walks and it's called I
Speaker 2: don't know if she calls it, you know, walking betting
Speaker 2: or I don't know. So anyways, she gets millions of
Speaker 2: views on these videos that she shares, that is her
Speaker 2: sharing her bets for each day. And I'm look, maybe
Speaker 2: I am sexist by saying this, but like I don't
Speaker 2: even know if she's ever won a bet. Nobody talks
Speaker 2: about that. They just can't wait to see her walking
Speaker 2: and her showing off, you know how hot she is.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of been her thing for quite some time,
Speaker 2: and it's clearly working. She has a great partnership, it seems,
Speaker 2: with BETMGM. But now there's another girl who's doing the
Speaker 2: same thing, and she's a little more revealing. She doesn't
Speaker 2: have a relationship with a sports betting company. She is
Speaker 2: a freelancer, she says, and she's got a bunch of followers,
Speaker 2: and she also has you know, I mean, she's got
Speaker 2: something that men like to look at. If you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying that I make you uncomfortab when I
Speaker 2: said chesticles, I'd never heard sweater puppies before. Sweat are
Speaker 2: your puppies? Jesticles?
Speaker 3: Is that saying from your time or is something you
Speaker 3: made up?
Speaker 2: I didn't make it up. I've heard it. I could
Speaker 2: go on for days, but I probably shouldn't because you know,
Speaker 2: it's inappropriate. John. But you know, these women are really
Speaker 2: hot and they share sports betting information each day, they
Speaker 2: share their picks, and like, their videos get a ton
Speaker 2: of views, but I've never seen anybody document if they're
Speaker 2: any good or not. So long story short, the controversy
Speaker 2: is that this other girl is doing the same thing.
Speaker 2: She doesn't have as big of a following, but she's
Speaker 2: a little bit more more revealing, and again, her following
Speaker 2: is not as big, but her videos are becoming more
Speaker 2: and more viewed because again she's walking around, you know,
Speaker 2: with basically at times only her nipples being covered, and
Speaker 2: that's going to get a lot of attention on the internet,
Speaker 2: especially in a space like sports wagering, where there's a
Speaker 2: lot of horned up dudes that are in that space
Speaker 2: that are degenerate gamblers. So it's a good move. It's
Speaker 2: you know, it's if these sports brand sportsbook brands want
Speaker 2: to affiliate and get viewership, they're getting it. But like,
Speaker 2: I've never heard anybody talk about how good they are.
Speaker 2: But they're beefing. They're feuding now because this girl she's
Speaker 2: kind of she's kind of going viral because again she's
Speaker 2: not wearing as much and she's doing the same thing
Speaker 2: and she's really hot too. But the other girl, finally,
Speaker 2: you know, clap back at her, like, hey, you know
Speaker 2: you're stealing my stick. This is what I do. I
Speaker 2: do walking bets, right, I give my picks and then
Speaker 2: I walk and video myself telling you what my picks
Speaker 2: are with very little clothes on, and it gets me
Speaker 2: millions of views. So like, you know, it's really not
Speaker 2: that creative just walk walking while you're sharing your picks.
Speaker 2: You know, because of the assets that these women carry
Speaker 2: on their chest, as well as them being very beautiful,
Speaker 2: it it's doing numbers on the internet. As they say,
Speaker 2: people like a little soft porn with people like breasts.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just a thing. It it's it's it's inevitable,
Speaker 2: it's just it's life. So you know, they're they're feuding,
Speaker 2: but I'm thinking, like, are they Like they're battling it
Speaker 2: out and people are taking sides. But like, I hate
Speaker 2: to be sound so cynical, but like dudes are probably
Speaker 2: just taking a side of whichever one they think is hotter.
Speaker 2: Like I don't think that men take their bets and
Speaker 2: bet them they just like the video they share because
Speaker 2: you know what they can see. I still like such
Speaker 2: an a hole, but I also feel like I'm speaking
Speaker 2: about something that's just relatives. It's common sense as to
Speaker 2: what this is. Maybe when they see a third person
Speaker 2: go even that you push the envelope even further. Really
Speaker 2: glad you said that, because now it's become like, if
Speaker 2: you're somebody like me that just love sports wagering, like
Speaker 2: it's it's got its own space within the internet. All
Speaker 2: these other dudes that you know don't look good are
Speaker 2: walking around with their shirts off doing the walking bets,
Speaker 2: and just it's become a thing. And I'm you know,
Speaker 2: I just think it's hilarious that, you know, because these
Speaker 2: two really hot women are feuding about who who. You know,
Speaker 2: by the way, the girl who did steal it, she's
Speaker 2: claiming she stole it and that you know, she knows
Speaker 2: that the other girl did it first. But now that
Speaker 2: the other girl has, you know, clapped at her and
Speaker 2: been like, hey, like, why are you stealing my stick?
Speaker 2: That's my thing? Be a little more original, all the
Speaker 2: OG fans of her are now attacking the new girl
Speaker 2: that's trying to do it, and it's just created this
Speaker 2: big online thing to where and look, when people see
Speaker 2: an internet feud, you follow people or people gravitate to
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. But it's just led to all
Speaker 2: the other, all the other you know, overweight dudes in
Speaker 2: their forties that have a big following for sports wagering,
Speaker 2: not because they're hot, but because you know, they actually
Speaker 2: do share some good picks. They're now just you know,
Speaker 2: walking around doing the same thing, except it's much different.
Speaker 2: The numbers aren't as high, and if you do find
Speaker 2: one that gets a lot of numbers, it's probably because
Speaker 2: people are laughing at how, you know, how ridiculous it
Speaker 2: is that a man you know, who isn't in good shape,
Speaker 2: you know, taking his shirt off trying to you know,
Speaker 2: trying to do exactly what these other girls are doing,
Speaker 2: except there's a big difference in you know, appearance. But
Speaker 2: it's a walking bets boo boar. Dave Portnoy called it that.
Speaker 2: I think that's the best way to describe it. Anyways,
Speaker 2: we got another hour coming up. What a weird last
Speaker 2: thirty minutes there Things get weird on Fridays for us.
Speaker 2: It's coffee and company. We are fuel about Thornton's right
