<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

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

3
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:26.399
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get it started. Hour number two here

4
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:31.120
<v Speaker 2>on a Monday afternoon coffee and company fuel about Thornton's

5
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Hopefully you had yourselves

6
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>a good weekend. I know I did. Busy weekend went

7
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 2>by really really fast. But that you know that that's

8
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>usually a good thing. That means I was staying active,

9
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:42.280
<v Speaker 2>staying busy.

10
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:43.079
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

11
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>And Saturday, we went to the the annual Black and

12
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:49.079
<v Speaker 2>Yellow Ball. It's part of the Molly Johnson Foundation, one

13
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 2>of their one of their annual events they have to

14
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 2>help raise money for families of special needs children. And uh,

15
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 2>first of all, it's it's an awesome event in the

16
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>organization is uh, you know, it's the first time I've

17
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:05.959
<v Speaker 2>really gotten to I mean, I've been to different events

18
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 2>that are in place to help raise money for great

19
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.840
<v Speaker 2>causes and all that stuff's great. And I mean, like

20
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, sometimes even if people are out there doing

21
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>things because they want to be able to show, hey,

22
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 2>look at me, I'm doing all this and I'll for

23
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, to help like either way because I choose

24
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 2>to believe that there are people who maybe wouldn't be

25
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 2>out here donating money for certain things and helping great

26
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.040
<v Speaker 2>causes if they didn't have the ability to have somebody

27
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 2>film them doing it or post on social media about it.

28
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter.

29
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.319
<v Speaker 2>If they're still doing it and donating money and giving

30
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.200
<v Speaker 2>up their time and helping for great causes, that's a

31
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.680
<v Speaker 2>great thing. But this is the one that really had

32
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm very close to the foundation here, and

33
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 2>it worked out where I think it was probably about

34
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 2>six to seven years ago, maybe a little bit longer

35
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 2>than that, maybe eight was. I ended up going to

36
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>the event for the first time just because I have

37
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>some friends who are close with the family that started

38
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>the organization, Jojo and Robin, who lost their daughter Molly

39
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 2>many years ago when she was young, and since then

40
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.319
<v Speaker 2>they've just they've they've created a foundation that has really

41
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.759
<v Speaker 2>grown over the years, and they raised so much money

42
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.520
<v Speaker 2>to help families who have special needs children when there's

43
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 2>things that come up that insurance isn't going to cover,

44
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 2>or you know, maybe maybe you we could get you

45
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 2>a wheelchair ramp that could help make life a little

46
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 2>easy for you getting in and out of the house

47
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.680
<v Speaker 2>with your child and things like that. And you know,

48
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:31.800
<v Speaker 2>at the time, I mean I remember really just kind

49
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 2>of hearing their story, hearing Jojo talk about Molly and

50
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 2>the event itself. I mean, they each and every year

51
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:40.400
<v Speaker 2>they kind of highlight all that they do, which which

52
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 2>is great, and it really, you know, it hit me

53
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and I at the time, I had a daughter. My

54
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>daughter was a baby, very young. If anything, she might

55
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 2>have been too, but I don't even think she was

56
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>that old. And I had no clue at the time

57
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.919
<v Speaker 2>where I that I was going to be the father

58
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 2>of a special needs child and that my daughter would have,

59
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, have her diagnosis intellectually disabled and severely autistic.

60
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.960
<v Speaker 2>So to kind of have the realization that that was

61
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.199
<v Speaker 2>going to be our life and and and you know

62
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.719
<v Speaker 2>that that's that's what it is, you know, not not easy,

63
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 2>but to kind of have already had kind of that

64
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 2>experience being around people who who also had a special

65
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.439
<v Speaker 2>needs child and unfortunately they lost their daughter, but to

66
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.719
<v Speaker 2>see all the great things they've done and and just

67
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 2>to kind of, I guess, more than anything, be around

68
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 2>the special needs community, those that have special needs brothers,

69
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:38.120
<v Speaker 2>sisters or children, you know it. I think a lot

70
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.919
<v Speaker 2>of things in life are about timing. In fact, it's everything.

71
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of how I view the world, good bad,

72
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, you chalk it up to timing wasn't right

73
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 2>or man timing couldn't have worked out better. That's just

74
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of how I've It's kind of how I viewed things,

75
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like meeting them when I did, and

76
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>things kind of playing out for me the way they

77
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.080
<v Speaker 2>did like that. I don't think that's by coincidence. I

78
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 2>don't think that's random. So we had the event on

79
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 2>set Saturday and a great turnout, a lot of money raised,

80
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 2>and was was a was a really really good time.

81
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 2>In fact, such a good time that I was telling

82
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:11.039
<v Speaker 2>Austin before the show started today, like kind I kind

83
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 2>of feel like I'm riding a two day hangover. I mean,

84
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:17.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm not hungover as we speak, and usually once once

85
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 2>the show gets going, uh and the energies there, I'm

86
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>good and I'm good now. And it would be an

87
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 2>exaggeration to say that I was hungover for two days.

88
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 2>But you know, the brain fog didn't really fade today.

89
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.399
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday was a day of kind of just you know, recovering,

90
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 2>watching football, kind of laying low. And this morning I

91
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.680
<v Speaker 2>got up and I had to had to get the

92
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 2>kids out of the house, had to take my daughter

93
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Maya to speech therapy and take Moose to daycare, and

94
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, I was up and at it, but man,

95
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.560
<v Speaker 2>I hit a wall around lunchtime. Like man, I think

96
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm still kind of recovering from from a from a

97
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.720
<v Speaker 2>long but awesome night of party and having a good

98
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 2>time and right all for all for a good cause.

99
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 2>And we got to dress up. I don't really dress

100
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.399
<v Speaker 2>up often because dude, you look sharp, thank you. And

101
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 2>the Mercedes too. Yep, we uh we. It's a really

102
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>easy event to to find clothes that work, at least

103
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>I believe it is because it's it's called the Black

104
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.959
<v Speaker 2>and Yellow Bil. Therefore everybody there wears black and yellow

105
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.959
<v Speaker 2>and most people just have like a black suit or

106
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, but I have a yellow shirt that that

107
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.079
<v Speaker 2>complimented my shoes really well. So this year was easy.

108
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 2>I just wore my suit but it had a yellow

109
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>had a yellow shirt to wear with it, and I

110
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>went with the the black and yellow Nike dunks, which

111
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.160
<v Speaker 2>which compliment which worked perfect. You know, wearing tennis shoes

112
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.600
<v Speaker 2>with a with the suit kind of felt weird, but

113
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, off, yeah, other people were doing it too,

114
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.399
<v Speaker 2>and I kind of feel like, you know, there are

115
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.279
<v Speaker 2>it's I don't know when when it switched, and I

116
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 2>would be the last person to talk style with anybody,

117
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.240
<v Speaker 2>but that is kind of now a thing, you know,

118
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.199
<v Speaker 2>because I thought to myself, hey, that'll look ridiculous wearing

119
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.560
<v Speaker 2>tennis shoes with it. But like if you I guess

120
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.600
<v Speaker 2>it really depends on sort of the event, Like if

121
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.199
<v Speaker 2>I would say, like wedding, funeral, like you're probably rarely

122
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.399
<v Speaker 2>going to see anybody throwing on tennis shoes with the suit.

123
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.319
<v Speaker 2>But if you watch like TV now like style in

124
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.519
<v Speaker 2>that way, like people who are on set for ESPN

125
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.639
<v Speaker 2>or five, like more often than not they're wearing athletic

126
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:07.079
<v Speaker 2>shoes with their suit. And that became, you know, first

127
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:09.519
<v Speaker 2>of all, way more comfortable than wearing dress shoes because

128
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 2>those are the most uncomfortable things ever.

129
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:14.800
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, you put the fun back in fundraiser.

130
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:19.879
<v Speaker 2>I like being able to like Derby, and that event

131
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.199
<v Speaker 2>is when I really actually you know, dress up. Now

132
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 2>if I go to a wedding, I don't wear a

133
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.160
<v Speaker 2>suit necessarily, but usually I got to wear something pretty

134
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 2>formal for a wedding. But I don't go to that

135
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.040
<v Speaker 2>many weddings, So if it's just two times a year

136
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 2>where I got to find something nice to wear, I

137
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 2>actually think that's actually enjoy that. In fact, I ran

138
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:38.839
<v Speaker 2>into you where was it we were getting ready for

139
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.399
<v Speaker 2>Derby Il. Yeah, that's right, randomly ran into austin it

140
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Coles as we're both kind of scrambling, and I think

141
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.000
<v Speaker 2>we were both looked day before. We were both looking

142
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.399
<v Speaker 2>for one specific random thing to like compliment our outfit

143
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 2>that makes sense.

144
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:52.360
<v Speaker 4>Tie it all together.

145
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:54.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so it it worked out, but yeah, good weekend.

146
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:55.360
<v Speaker 4>I forgot.

147
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm paying for it. It was random as hell because

148
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 2>because it was it was the cold that's over by

149
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.399
<v Speaker 2>Oxmore Mall, which I never ever go there. In fact,

150
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 2>I think it's the only time I've ever been there,

151
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.240
<v Speaker 2>and it's got an upstairs and sure enough, there you were,

152
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 2>I've ran into you.

153
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.399
<v Speaker 5>Coles has a great return policy too, Yes they do.

154
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:14.560
<v Speaker 5>I always have fun with that. Yeah, I mean you

155
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 5>don't need to own the suit, ain't know, No, don't

156
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 5>even necessarily need the receipt.

157
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 4>My people like Coal's they gotcha. They do.

158
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:26.600
<v Speaker 2>So I don't buy club mean again, like I usually

159
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.759
<v Speaker 2>Birthday and Christmas mostly like mostly Christmas. Like my wife

160
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.720
<v Speaker 2>will know what I would like as far as like

161
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:35.879
<v Speaker 2>what to wear, like she's she's got me. I mean,

162
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty easy to figure out right, like hoodies, jeans,

163
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.639
<v Speaker 2>like I don't have some big crazy wardrobe. But I

164
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:44.160
<v Speaker 2>oftentimes don't buy myself clothes like I will when I

165
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:45.920
<v Speaker 2>feel like I need something or if I see something

166
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.959
<v Speaker 2>online that I like, like I'll buy clothes, but I

167
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.199
<v Speaker 2>guess I just never really pay attention to price. And

168
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 2>it's not because you know, I got money falling up

169
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker 2>my rear in but I just you know, I don't

170
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.680
<v Speaker 2>buy clothes enough to really know what's considered expensive or

171
00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.800
<v Speaker 2>what's not. And there's certain stores where like where I

172
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:01.720
<v Speaker 2>go in there, like if I'm going to Macy's, I

173
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.839
<v Speaker 2>kind of know I'm probably going to be looking at

174
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.399
<v Speaker 2>at a steeper price than maybe what I would see

175
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:09.360
<v Speaker 2>at a place like Coal's or something. Right, but one

176
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:12.120
<v Speaker 2>place that I just could not but like I was,

177
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I never go there, but I randomly ended up there

178
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:17.319
<v Speaker 2>just because I needed to stop. It was it was

179
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>near me. It was Meyer. I went to Meyer to

180
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.519
<v Speaker 2>get something totally random. Oh yeah, and I saw the

181
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.120
<v Speaker 2>men's clothes selection and I thought, you know, like I

182
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.480
<v Speaker 2>would never think to get close here, but man, like this,

183
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.159
<v Speaker 2>they got a pretty decent selection for dudes. But I

184
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.919
<v Speaker 2>couldn't believe the price. I'm like, do you realize this

185
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:36.320
<v Speaker 2>is Meyer? Like what this?

186
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:37.120
<v Speaker 4>That's true?

187
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.240
<v Speaker 2>This hoodie is fifty nine to ninety nine?

188
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:39.919
<v Speaker 4>Like that's true?

189
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.399
<v Speaker 5>I mean, so walk in there thinking like this is

190
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.960
<v Speaker 5>a place so you can probably kind of get a discount. Yeah,

191
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:46.679
<v Speaker 5>and no, not I mean there.

192
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean I feel like I could go to like

193
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:53.240
<v Speaker 2>an actual store, meaning like you know, a store at

194
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 2>the outlet malls that that you know they only specifically

195
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.240
<v Speaker 2>sell their brand, and it's a pretty decent brand that

196
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 2>you know is not going to be like super cheap.

197
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Like I feel like I could get stuff at a

198
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.279
<v Speaker 2>place like that cheaper than what I was seeing on

199
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.519
<v Speaker 2>the racket Mere. Again, maybe it's good quality, but I

200
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.440
<v Speaker 2>don't know. Maybe it's one of those things where everything

201
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.679
<v Speaker 2>seems to be a lot more expensive than it needs

202
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 2>to be. I mean that that seems to be where

203
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.679
<v Speaker 2>we are with the economy. But there's always things that

204
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.320
<v Speaker 2>randomly I'll purchase and I'll be like, wait a second,

205
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:27.039
<v Speaker 2>Like I had no clue rugs were expensive. Oh dude, pillows, yeah,

206
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.720
<v Speaker 2>trash can. My wife bought a new rug for our

207
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.200
<v Speaker 2>living room and it's really nice and I like it.

208
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 2>It's it's a little bigger than the one that we had,

209
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.799
<v Speaker 2>it's a slightly different color. It complements the floor really

210
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:40.159
<v Speaker 2>really well, and you know, I liked it. And she

211
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:41.559
<v Speaker 2>was like, well, wouldn't believe what it costs. And I

212
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.639
<v Speaker 2>was like what And she told me and I was

213
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.519
<v Speaker 2>like what wows Like, yeah, that's kind of and I'm like,

214
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 2>wait a second, did you You probably bought some fancy

215
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.000
<v Speaker 2>food food, Like you probably bought a nice rug that

216
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:53.519
<v Speaker 2>we didn't really need. You could have gone cheaper, and

217
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:54.960
<v Speaker 2>I didn't. You know, I didn't pick a fight with her,

218
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.399
<v Speaker 2>but I've then looked it up online of like the

219
00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:59.799
<v Speaker 2>regular price for any standard rug, and I'm like, well,

220
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.879
<v Speaker 2>she wouldn't Kidding's right, rugs, rugs, and blinds, like what,

221
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.799
<v Speaker 2>like again for what I would have? No, I've never

222
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.039
<v Speaker 2>purchased them before. Probably won't, you know, because thankfully i've

223
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, usually where I live with my mother, she

224
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.960
<v Speaker 2>purchased that whenever. You know, when I got married, my

225
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:17.919
<v Speaker 2>wife's buying all that kind of stuff. But it's just

226
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.440
<v Speaker 2>when you have when I have zero experienced buying certain things,

227
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:23.519
<v Speaker 2>I guess I really don't know what to expect. But man,

228
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:26.159
<v Speaker 2>there's certain random things. I'm like, why would that cost

229
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 2>that much?

230
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.039
<v Speaker 5>Now, when Tiffany buys stuff, like if she goes out

231
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.519
<v Speaker 5>and buys a rug, or if she were to go

232
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:36.039
<v Speaker 5>buy like new curtains or something, is she self sustaining?

233
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:37.440
<v Speaker 4>Does she do that herself? The oh?

234
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 5>Or is she the buyer and then she's you take

235
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:40.679
<v Speaker 5>care of it since you're the guy.

236
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:45.039
<v Speaker 2>No, she she's very much do it herself. She'll I mean,

237
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.960
<v Speaker 2>in fact, uh, she sitting you here there. Sometimes she

238
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:52.279
<v Speaker 2>buys stuff that like I probably would have told her

239
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.840
<v Speaker 2>we don't need to buy that. And sometimes I'm like,

240
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>because I don't want to like go through the work

241
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:00.279
<v Speaker 2>of replacing what she's But but if she's got a

242
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.159
<v Speaker 2>good radar meeting, if she knows that like I'm gonna

243
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.759
<v Speaker 2>maybe bitch about having to, you know, pull up the

244
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:07.600
<v Speaker 2>couch and move everything in the round so we can

245
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.320
<v Speaker 2>replace the rugs, She'll just find a way to do

246
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.960
<v Speaker 2>it herself interesting because she you know, she knows me

247
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.200
<v Speaker 2>well uh and you know, I'm not a hard gut

248
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:14.759
<v Speaker 2>to figure out.

249
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.799
<v Speaker 5>To be honest, I'll sometimes come home to like a

250
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:22.360
<v Speaker 5>new uh uh, like a dresser or like a shoe

251
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.200
<v Speaker 5>rack or something that's like still in the box, and

252
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:26.720
<v Speaker 5>it's like.

253
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 4>Guess what you get to do today?

254
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

255
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:31.879
<v Speaker 2>That And gotta be honest, man, that would that wouldn't

256
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:32.200
<v Speaker 2>be fun.

257
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.639
<v Speaker 5>There's like a million screws and there's like, uh, there's

258
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.120
<v Speaker 5>instructions and I'm like, for for a shoe rack, and

259
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.240
<v Speaker 5>but I'm just lazy. I'm not a hands on guy ever.

260
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:44.600
<v Speaker 5>It never been a hands on guy. Never been a

261
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:45.240
<v Speaker 5>fix it guy.

262
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:45.720
<v Speaker 4>Never been.

263
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:47.960
<v Speaker 5>I've always worked on the buddy system, Like yeah, I'll

264
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 5>get a buddy to come over and we'll do that.

265
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.639
<v Speaker 2>I think you and I are probably alike where if

266
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.919
<v Speaker 2>we did purchase something that wasn't like you know, hey

267
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.320
<v Speaker 2>this broke, so we need to replace it. If we

268
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:00.840
<v Speaker 2>just we knew eventually we were gonna like, for example,

269
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.159
<v Speaker 2>if we got a rug and this is what we did.

270
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.679
<v Speaker 2>She got a new rug just because she wanted to

271
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.879
<v Speaker 2>like ours was a little bit older, but it wasn't

272
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.679
<v Speaker 2>something like that we needed to replace, right, But like

273
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.399
<v Speaker 2>if I would have purchased it, it would have just

274
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.799
<v Speaker 2>set there for like six months not being replaced, because

275
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, I got a parlay to build, honey, Like yeah,

276
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:19.960
<v Speaker 2>like come on, like where like you know where my

277
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:20.799
<v Speaker 2>priorities are.

278
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm trying to look at the l I U spread

279
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.279
<v Speaker 5>and you want me to put something important in this house?

280
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:27.200
<v Speaker 4>That's a no.

281
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:31.519
<v Speaker 2>So you did mention parlays or I mentioned Parlay. You

282
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.039
<v Speaker 2>told me beforehand you had a good weekend gambling, right, Yeah.

283
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.919
<v Speaker 5>I had had a fun weekend. Let me, I'm gonna

284
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:38.840
<v Speaker 5>find out exactly what it was. And I know, I

285
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.080
<v Speaker 5>know this is what everybody tunes into the show for.

286
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:44.840
<v Speaker 5>But it's uh because I was texting our other body, Billy,

287
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:48.480
<v Speaker 5>about this. So I was watching the uh oh, it

288
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.799
<v Speaker 5>was Washington State and Saint Mary's, Saint Mary's was Saint

289
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.879
<v Speaker 5>Mary's was favor or yeah, Saint Mary's was favored by six,

290
00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:59.279
<v Speaker 5>but I took the Washington State spread. But what's even

291
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.320
<v Speaker 5>crazier is I'm watching that game unfold and Saint Mary's

292
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.080
<v Speaker 5>is up like five with nineteen seconds ago. Then Washington

293
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.759
<v Speaker 5>State on the inbounds just throws it away with like

294
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:10.559
<v Speaker 5>nineteen seconds. So Saint Mary's gets a ball back, hits

295
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.080
<v Speaker 5>the free throws and then are up by seven and

296
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:18.080
<v Speaker 5>there's like six seconds left, So there's six seconds left

297
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.320
<v Speaker 5>on the clock, and they just let Washington State just

298
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 5>kind of like blow by them for the layup for

299
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.159
<v Speaker 5>the last second cover And that's what ended up getting

300
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:27.799
<v Speaker 5>me at that point. And no, that's I ended up

301
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:30.159
<v Speaker 5>winning off of that. So they after they hit those

302
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.320
<v Speaker 5>free throws, I'm like, oh great, they went they went

303
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.279
<v Speaker 5>up seven, and then h Washington Skate gets the ball back,

304
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 5>Saint Mary's just kind of lets him go down there

305
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:37.720
<v Speaker 5>and cover the spread.

306
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:39.519
<v Speaker 2>So something like that, all right, I think that kind

307
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.600
<v Speaker 2>of the opposite of a bad beat, and it's like

308
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.279
<v Speaker 2>a good beat, yeah, but somebody, like somebody had a

309
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:46.399
<v Speaker 2>bad beat and you benefited from it, right, So like

310
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:49.200
<v Speaker 2>if you if that if that meaningless bucket would have

311
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.960
<v Speaker 2>lost you your wagers, certainly, I think that would qualify

312
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.720
<v Speaker 2>for the bad beat. But the bad beat kind of

313
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.919
<v Speaker 2>went your way. Yes, Now, when that happens, and it's

314
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.519
<v Speaker 2>happened to me before, like I've ended up having a

315
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:03.600
<v Speaker 2>bet come through a parlay or maybe just a straight

316
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.320
<v Speaker 2>bet to where I absolutely realized that there was luck

317
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.120
<v Speaker 2>involved and that that keeps me humble, meaning like I

318
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:14.440
<v Speaker 2>don't get more greedy. I don't find myself you know,

319
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:18.120
<v Speaker 2>thinking I'm I'm great at this. I think for me,

320
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, the bad losses and the law and the

321
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 2>wins that come with luck, that's what's made it to

322
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.360
<v Speaker 2>where it's just fun. It's not like I'm out here

323
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.120
<v Speaker 2>doing it trying to you know, have a new career

324
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:29.519
<v Speaker 2>and and you know, supplement my income or anything like that.

325
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:31.720
<v Speaker 2>But I've had in fact, I feel like more often

326
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:34.639
<v Speaker 2>than not, if and honestly, if you if you hit

327
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:39.639
<v Speaker 2>a four plus leg parlay, just what I build anymore,

328
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:42.399
<v Speaker 2>I feel like there's a good sen there's a good

329
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:45.399
<v Speaker 2>chance that if it wins, more often than not, you're

330
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:47.360
<v Speaker 2>going to realize you did, in fact have some luck

331
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:48.879
<v Speaker 2>go your way, right, Like, at the end of the day,

332
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.279
<v Speaker 2>you got it right. So I'm not saying you only

333
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:54.799
<v Speaker 2>win those things based off luck, but you know, there's

334
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.840
<v Speaker 2>a reason you get there's a reason you get paid

335
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:59.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money when those things come through. Because

336
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.080
<v Speaker 2>it's very very difficult, very difficult.

337
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:03.919
<v Speaker 5>To me, this to happen this dap and this one

338
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.840
<v Speaker 5>and last one. Yesterday it was the it was the

339
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:11.679
<v Speaker 5>Illinois in Northwestern game, and Illinois was seven and a

340
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:13.720
<v Speaker 5>half point favorites, and they were up by like double

341
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.080
<v Speaker 5>digits almost the whole game, and then I think they

342
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:19.480
<v Speaker 5>ended up going They ended up winning by nine. But

343
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:23.360
<v Speaker 5>right as soon as right Illinois is coming up with

344
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:25.440
<v Speaker 5>the ball, they're up nine, and they're just kind of

345
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:27.919
<v Speaker 5>letting the clock run out ten nine, eight, and the

346
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.519
<v Speaker 5>point guard just like lets the ball go and it's

347
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.120
<v Speaker 5>just like dribbling and remaining to lose its bounce at

348
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.240
<v Speaker 5>half court line while the point guards just going and

349
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.919
<v Speaker 5>dapping up everybody. Meanwhile, the clock's still taking down ten

350
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:40.919
<v Speaker 5>seconds left, and I'm sitting there praying, please, no one

351
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:42.759
<v Speaker 5>picked that up and go the other way just because

352
00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:44.879
<v Speaker 5>you want to play until the final horn.

353
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:46.679
<v Speaker 4>But thank goodness, that's.

354
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:46.960
<v Speaker 2>What we're going.

355
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:48.840
<v Speaker 4>But it worked out perfectly.

356
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:50.759
<v Speaker 5>But I'm sitting there watching the guy just pull up

357
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:52.720
<v Speaker 5>all right, just run these seconds off, and then he

358
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.200
<v Speaker 5>just drops the ball and just goes and starts dapping

359
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:57.960
<v Speaker 5>up everybody, Like thank goodness that there wasn't a try

360
00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:59.440
<v Speaker 5>hard out there that wanted to go do that, and

361
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:01.759
<v Speaker 5>then that happened a couple of years ago with like Kansas,

362
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:03.960
<v Speaker 5>Kansas where they just ended up coming down and dunking,

363
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:06.000
<v Speaker 5>and dude thought he was all that.

364
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.440
<v Speaker 2>And it was Kansas and Monmouth.

365
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:09.440
<v Speaker 4>That's right, That's right.

366
00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:10.960
<v Speaker 2>And the only reason I remember it is because of

367
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.240
<v Speaker 2>what you said. How the guy. I don't I believe

368
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:16.840
<v Speaker 2>the player that he had no clue that like what

369
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.360
<v Speaker 2>he did was gonna either win people a lot of

370
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:21.080
<v Speaker 2>money or lose them a lot of money depending on

371
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:23.240
<v Speaker 2>what they did. But I mean that was early in

372
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:25.879
<v Speaker 2>the stages of gambling. Not only I mean that was

373
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.600
<v Speaker 2>right around the time it clearly wasn't legal here yet.

374
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:31.679
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, gambling's been a thing for a long

375
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.440
<v Speaker 2>time now as far as like you know, society, but

376
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:37.679
<v Speaker 2>it being legalized in so many states is what really

377
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:40.720
<v Speaker 2>really has been in your face, which is why we

378
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.000
<v Speaker 2>talked about a couple of weeks ago, the announcers that

379
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.159
<v Speaker 2>want to do the cutesie thing about like they got

380
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.879
<v Speaker 2>to hide what they're talking about, Like that's so lame.

381
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.519
<v Speaker 3>It's just I mean, oh, that basket help some people,

382
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:54.919
<v Speaker 3>although there's some people waiting to see you know what

383
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:58.399
<v Speaker 3>this you know, whenever there's a bucket that you know,

384
00:16:58.519 --> 00:16:59.840
<v Speaker 3>this is like their their go to.

385
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.200
<v Speaker 2>If there's a bucket scored at any point late in

386
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.920
<v Speaker 2>a game that has no impact on the game itself,

387
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.519
<v Speaker 2>but it does in fact put somebody over the over

388
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.400
<v Speaker 2>or spread. That's when they get cute and like, I

389
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:13.440
<v Speaker 2>don't know, it just seems it'd be different if it

390
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.279
<v Speaker 2>was still some this underworld thing that you really had

391
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:18.480
<v Speaker 2>to go off shore to do, or you know, you

392
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:20.599
<v Speaker 2>had to go to Vegas. But man, like it's it's

393
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:23.599
<v Speaker 2>pretty much legal almost everywhere. I mean not everywhere, but

394
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:24.200
<v Speaker 2>close to it.

395
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:26.400
<v Speaker 5>No, I'm gonna need like Tony Romo at the next

396
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:28.960
<v Speaker 5>one to be like, nah, I don't know, Jim, Jam Jim,

397
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:33.079
<v Speaker 5>you'll go right here, hits the over gym, Jim Jim.

398
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:35.119
<v Speaker 4>They were spread was six Jim.

399
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:38.039
<v Speaker 2>I went from thinking he was such a breath of

400
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:40.599
<v Speaker 2>fresh air as a broadcaster to now I'm just annoyed

401
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:41.200
<v Speaker 2>by Romo.

402
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:43.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Oh, he's a couple of years of moved from

403
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:43.400
<v Speaker 4>the game.

404
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:46.039
<v Speaker 2>When he first got got rom fatigue.

405
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.559
<v Speaker 5>He knew Romo fatigue, well, he knew he's so far

406
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:50.880
<v Speaker 5>removed from playing, and he knew like a lot of

407
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:53.440
<v Speaker 5>people and all the game has just evolved in that

408
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:55.920
<v Speaker 5>he's just sort of lost it because he's so far removed.

409
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.279
<v Speaker 5>That's why Tom Brady's starting to get.

410
00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:57.759
<v Speaker 4>A little bit better.

411
00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:59.599
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't realize it at the time, but like

412
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.079
<v Speaker 2>it is annoying every play for you to predict it

413
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:03.839
<v Speaker 2>and tell us what's gonna happen, Like it might be

414
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:06.000
<v Speaker 2>impressive every now and then, and that's what really made it,

415
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Like this guy knows everything. And then now it's like, okay,

416
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:09.799
<v Speaker 2>just just call the action, man. We don't need you

417
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:14.160
<v Speaker 2>to flor Jim Aunt, Jim quick break. We'll talk some

418
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:15.880
<v Speaker 2>college hoops on the other side right here on Sports

419
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Talk seven.

420
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Ninety Now back to coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's

421
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.319
<v Speaker 1>on Sports Talk seven nine.

422
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:31.519
<v Speaker 6>Day, there's a wild stat that probably won't surprise you

423
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:34.079
<v Speaker 6>given what Patrick Mahomes has been able to do in

424
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:35.839
<v Speaker 6>his young NFL career.

425
00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:38.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's not young, but he's certainly not old.

426
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:40.720
<v Speaker 2>He's not thirty yet, and he's potentially about to get

427
00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:44.799
<v Speaker 2>his fourth super Bowl. And I don't I think I've

428
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:47.559
<v Speaker 2>made it pretty clear. I'm tired of it, but hard

429
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.480
<v Speaker 2>not to respect that he's I mean, he's he's a

430
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:56.400
<v Speaker 2>legend already. He benefits from, you know, a great organization

431
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 2>behind him, great great head coach. Jones is probably the

432
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.000
<v Speaker 2>biggest unsung hero for the Chiefs in the last you know,

433
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.880
<v Speaker 2>four or five years, because I mean he's been dominant,

434
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:09.880
<v Speaker 2>and yet think about how distant he is when you

435
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:12.400
<v Speaker 2>talk about the Chiefs and how great they are, right,

436
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's Mahomes, Kelsey, Taylor Swift, maybe then Andy Reid,

437
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:20.599
<v Speaker 2>and then you know, then they might bring up Chris Jones,

438
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.720
<v Speaker 2>who of course is great on defense. But this is

439
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.440
<v Speaker 2>the Mahome stat went down one to eight points in

440
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:31.000
<v Speaker 2>the fourth quarter or ot of NFL playoff games. Patrick

441
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes again, fourth quarter or overtime when his team is

442
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:37.480
<v Speaker 2>down between one and eight points. This is his stat

443
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:40.799
<v Speaker 2>line forty to fifty six for five hundred and fifty

444
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:47.400
<v Speaker 2>two passing yards, five passing touchdowns, zero interceptions, one rushing touchdown,

445
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:51.440
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and thirty two point two passer rating, and

446
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:54.880
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs have scored on thirteen or fourteen drives in

447
00:19:54.920 --> 00:20:00.960
<v Speaker 2>those situations. Again, I mean, he plays, he's his best

448
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:05.319
<v Speaker 2>football in situations like that. He's he's clutch and sometimes

449
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:08.839
<v Speaker 2>he hasn't even really needed to be because they've just

450
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.599
<v Speaker 2>been that good. But at times, whenever they're trailing or

451
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:15.119
<v Speaker 2>it's tied, I mean, even if it's just a close game,

452
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he'll he'll find a way to make a play.

453
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:21.319
<v Speaker 2>And I don't see that changing anytime soon. But be nice,

454
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the Eagles winning would not I mean, I

455
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.799
<v Speaker 2>think what's happened here is that the fact that the

456
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs are even in the Super Bowl. Any't talk if

457
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:35.640
<v Speaker 2>their like dynasty slipping away because they potentially lose this

458
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.119
<v Speaker 2>game to the Eagles. I mean, that'll probably just be

459
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:40.319
<v Speaker 2>wishful thinking by a lot of people. And look, even

460
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:43.240
<v Speaker 2>if they would have lost to the uh, you know,

461
00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:46.279
<v Speaker 2>to the to the to the Bills yesterday, or maybe

462
00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:48.759
<v Speaker 2>lost their first I mean, I mean highly doubt that,

463
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:51.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, it was very unprobable. But regardless, let's say

464
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:54.400
<v Speaker 2>they missed the playoffs this year, in all aspects, like

465
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:55.880
<v Speaker 2>it wouldn't have meant that they are never going to

466
00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:57.960
<v Speaker 2>be good again. But I guess what I'm getting at

467
00:20:58.079 --> 00:20:59.960
<v Speaker 2>is like, if you're somebody that is that is tied

468
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.799
<v Speaker 2>tired of this whole thing, I don't think it's stopping

469
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.640
<v Speaker 2>anytime soon. I really don't. So whatever way you got

470
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:10.400
<v Speaker 2>to find, whatever way you need to find, you know,

471
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:12.759
<v Speaker 2>to be able to better, to be able to better

472
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:15.599
<v Speaker 2>deal with it. Everybody's different, right Like for me, I

473
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.960
<v Speaker 2>don't really know what I've done in the last twenty

474
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:21.240
<v Speaker 2>four hours. I suppose is kind of think, Okay, should

475
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:23.519
<v Speaker 2>I maybe like embrace them more and just accept that, Yeah,

476
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:25.640
<v Speaker 2>despite not liking the Chiefs and wanting them to lose,

477
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:28.000
<v Speaker 2>like they're going to probably be here for a while,

478
00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:30.640
<v Speaker 2>so I should just you know, view them differently. But

479
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.039
<v Speaker 2>I can't do it. Like last night, I mean, when

480
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:34.559
<v Speaker 2>the game was coming to an end, I just turned

481
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:37.519
<v Speaker 2>it off because I didn't want to see them celebrate,

482
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Like it's the last thing I wanted to see. And

483
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm such a hater, and I don't want to be

484
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:43.400
<v Speaker 2>a hater, but I am. But it does make me

485
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:44.559
<v Speaker 2>feel good to know that I am.

486
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:45.759
<v Speaker 4>I'm not alone.

487
00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I also know that I'm not alone when it comes

488
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:51.119
<v Speaker 2>to just enjoying this Louisvel basketball season. And we did

489
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:53.079
<v Speaker 2>not get to enjoy this team play over the weekend.

490
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:56.920
<v Speaker 2>They had the week off and that wasn't fun. But

491
00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't feel like the momentum at least, you know,

492
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:02.440
<v Speaker 2>the fans or feeling the energy from the fan base

493
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:05.680
<v Speaker 2>right now in regards to the program. Even despite no

494
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:07.799
<v Speaker 2>game over the weekend, it's still really really high. I

495
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:10.200
<v Speaker 2>mean it's just nice to be out and about and

496
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:13.559
<v Speaker 2>just to you know, wanting to talk Louisville basketball with

497
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:17.519
<v Speaker 2>people again, like going out. You know, I'm not going

498
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:19.240
<v Speaker 2>door to door talking to strangers. Hey have you seen

499
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:20.720
<v Speaker 2>how good the Louisville basketball teams played?

500
00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:22.119
<v Speaker 4>But like you want to talk about our Lord and

501
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:23.559
<v Speaker 4>savior Patkelsey.

502
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean he is our savior. And look, it's

503
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:28.480
<v Speaker 2>not like I get stopped all the time. But for

504
00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:30.000
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years, if somebody was going to talk

505
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:31.680
<v Speaker 2>lois of basketball and they were like, hey, listen to

506
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:33.359
<v Speaker 2>the show, or hey, you know, what do you think

507
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:35.319
<v Speaker 2>about this? And that, I mean it was it wasn't

508
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:38.000
<v Speaker 2>a fun conversation, you know, it was it was depressing.

509
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.559
<v Speaker 2>But now you know, it's much different, and I want

510
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:43.240
<v Speaker 2>to I want to watch him play every night. Like

511
00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:44.799
<v Speaker 2>I wish they had a game every day. I know

512
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:49.039
<v Speaker 2>that's not realistic and whatnot, but the week off I've

513
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:51.359
<v Speaker 2>been fiening for some Louisville hoops and we'll get to

514
00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:53.440
<v Speaker 2>see him on tomorrow night actually when they take on

515
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:55.720
<v Speaker 2>wake Forest and we've got we got tomorrow to kind

516
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:59.119
<v Speaker 2>of get into that matchup and whatnot. But over the weekend,

517
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:02.000
<v Speaker 2>you're continue to see things that just remind you that

518
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:05.920
<v Speaker 2>this group is different. And I mean, I don't know

519
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:09.000
<v Speaker 2>any of these guys personally. In fact, I would say

520
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:11.519
<v Speaker 2>ninety nine percent of our audience doesn't. I mean unless

521
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:13.599
<v Speaker 2>you have some type of relationship with them and you've

522
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:16.720
<v Speaker 2>gotten to know them or something like that. But they've

523
00:23:16.759 --> 00:23:19.519
<v Speaker 2>just been a nice reminder that, look, winning is what

524
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:21.960
<v Speaker 2>fans care the most about, right, and you want to

525
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:25.319
<v Speaker 2>win at a high level. But what I said a

526
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:29.240
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks ago, I think it even seems more

527
00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:32.640
<v Speaker 2>like I feel more confident in this now, just with

528
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:34.880
<v Speaker 2>the way these guys have kind of carried themselves. And

529
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:39.079
<v Speaker 2>you had Saturday or was it half your team showed

530
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:41.519
<v Speaker 2>up to see Pat Kelsey's son play in his game.

531
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Johnny Kelsey has had a little league and maybe it

532
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:47.920
<v Speaker 2>was a school game, but half the team showed up

533
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.039
<v Speaker 2>to support him. And then you see that they go

534
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:52.279
<v Speaker 2>to the Louisville hockey game at least a couple of

535
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:55.880
<v Speaker 2>them did and like that. Maybe you know, the grand

536
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:58.839
<v Speaker 2>scheme of things, that's not some huge deal, but you know,

537
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:01.480
<v Speaker 2>these what I said a few weeks ago that I

538
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:03.880
<v Speaker 2>was going to bring up again, We'll never be able

539
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:05.920
<v Speaker 2>to I'll never be able to prove it. And maybe

540
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:07.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe you disagree, and that's fine, But I

541
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:11.799
<v Speaker 2>do think that this group, everybody from top to bottom,

542
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:14.359
<v Speaker 2>and I'm talking Kelsey, his staff, his players, it just

543
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:17.960
<v Speaker 2>seems like everybody that's here and is a part of

544
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:20.319
<v Speaker 2>the ride that you know wasn't here previously. Because it's

545
00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:25.799
<v Speaker 2>all brand new, they have a real level of like

546
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:29.480
<v Speaker 2>appreciating what Louisville basketball is and can be. And I

547
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:32.559
<v Speaker 2>think that's one of the reasons as to why they

548
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:34.200
<v Speaker 2>put in so much work and why this thing is

549
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:35.960
<v Speaker 2>working so far. I mean, it's just the first year

550
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.279
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not even really thinking about long term or

551
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:40.160
<v Speaker 2>even really I mean, I'm not even thinking about the

552
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:42.680
<v Speaker 2>tournament just yet, because I, like many I'm just enjoying

553
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:44.559
<v Speaker 2>the ride. It's been a lot of fun. But I

554
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:46.680
<v Speaker 2>think you could have the same record. This is what

555
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:47.799
<v Speaker 2>I was getting at. I think you could have the

556
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:50.720
<v Speaker 2>same record, be in the same position top twenty five,

557
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:54.400
<v Speaker 2>And if the players kind of didn't carry themselves the

558
00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:57.559
<v Speaker 2>way that they do, and Pat Kelsey wasn't the coach,

559
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:01.400
<v Speaker 2>and you weren't doing this despite losing some key guys

560
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:05.519
<v Speaker 2>to injury, it wouldn't be as enjoyable. And at the

561
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:07.440
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, if the results of their results,

562
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:10.200
<v Speaker 2>that's what it is. And maybe there are some of

563
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:12.119
<v Speaker 2>you that are listening here, like Nick, I don't give

564
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:13.240
<v Speaker 2>it damn about any of that stuff.

565
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:13.640
<v Speaker 4>Just go win.

566
00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:15.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't care what they're doing off the field or

567
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:18.039
<v Speaker 2>off the court. I don't care that they seem likable

568
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:19.640
<v Speaker 2>or anything like that. I just want them to win.

569
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:20.680
<v Speaker 2>And that's the way you see it.

570
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:20.960
<v Speaker 3>Cool.

571
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:24.279
<v Speaker 2>But like I think things have lined up here in

572
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:25.960
<v Speaker 2>the timing has made it to where not only is

573
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:29.039
<v Speaker 2>Louisville looking like a surefire tournament team right now, they're

574
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:31.039
<v Speaker 2>back into the top twenty five, they're now up to

575
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:34.799
<v Speaker 2>number twenty one. I mean, all that's great, but I

576
00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:38.279
<v Speaker 2>think the other things has has done a bigger has

577
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:41.200
<v Speaker 2>done a better job, and I guess the healing process.

578
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:43.480
<v Speaker 2>And that sounds dramatic because at the end of the day,

579
00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Louisville having a couple really I guess a few really

580
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:50.119
<v Speaker 2>bad basketball seasons. I mean, that's not good for anybody,

581
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:52.000
<v Speaker 2>But you know, it's not like it's the end of

582
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:53.640
<v Speaker 2>the world. It's not. I mean, I never felt like

583
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Louisville basketball would never get back, But I also don't

584
00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:59.240
<v Speaker 2>know if I could have realistically told you that a

585
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:02.559
<v Speaker 2>year ago said they would be in the position they

586
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:06.400
<v Speaker 2>are now. And I don't necessarily just mean this record

587
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:07.960
<v Speaker 2>and being in the top twenty five. It wouldn't have

588
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:10.319
<v Speaker 2>it wouldn't have floored me. But I think what's really

589
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:13.839
<v Speaker 2>been an eye opener is just to see how enjoyable

590
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:16.920
<v Speaker 2>every aspect of this has been for fans. And I

591
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:20.400
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't be surprised, I guess, because I mean, I'm well

592
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:23.319
<v Speaker 2>aware of how much Louisville basketball means to people, and

593
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:27.480
<v Speaker 2>the awful, awful years that you had recently. That's a

594
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:29.319
<v Speaker 2>reminder of it, But that's a reminder of it, like

595
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:31.799
<v Speaker 2>in a sad way, like right, I didn't know how

596
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.759
<v Speaker 2>much joy I'd be losing by having a team that

597
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:37.920
<v Speaker 2>was in a situation like this, But there's certain things

598
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:39.920
<v Speaker 2>you don't really know and learn until you know you

599
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:43.319
<v Speaker 2>go through these experiences. And we had an experience that

600
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:45.960
<v Speaker 2>was awful for a few years, and now, you know,

601
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:48.200
<v Speaker 2>we'll see how things finish. I have no reason to

602
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:50.400
<v Speaker 2>think they won't keep winning. I'm not sure if they're

603
00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:51.799
<v Speaker 2>going to go undefeated the rest of the way in

604
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:53.640
<v Speaker 2>the regular season, but just to know that that's like

605
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:56.880
<v Speaker 2>a realistic thing because of their schedule and of course

606
00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:58.880
<v Speaker 2>how well they've played up to this point and the

607
00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:00.359
<v Speaker 2>kind of run that they're on right now, I mean,

608
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:05.240
<v Speaker 2>that's just exciting. It really is. And even though I was,

609
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:09.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, feeding for some Louisville hoops and not wanting

610
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:11.480
<v Speaker 2>them to have a full week off, to know how

611
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:13.640
<v Speaker 2>much I missed it and to know that I wasn't alone,

612
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:15.839
<v Speaker 2>It's just, man, it's a fun ride. And I've been

613
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:17.880
<v Speaker 2>so repetitive when it comes to talking about this team

614
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:22.119
<v Speaker 2>in this season because we really have been doing kind

615
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:24.440
<v Speaker 2>of the same show when it comes to Louisville basketball

616
00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:27.440
<v Speaker 2>for weeks now, right They keep going out there and

617
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:30.519
<v Speaker 2>playing at a really high level. And I mean, I

618
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:34.039
<v Speaker 2>wasn't worried about SMU, but I kept thinking to myself,

619
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:36.759
<v Speaker 2>like should I be worried? You know, maybe this SMU

620
00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:40.160
<v Speaker 2>team is in fact a lot better than people realize, Well,

621
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:42.000
<v Speaker 2>then Louisville goes out there and they were up thirty

622
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:43.559
<v Speaker 2>for a good chunk of that game, won it by

623
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:45.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty five. And by the way, SMU then went on

624
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.799
<v Speaker 2>the road and beat NC State, which NC State's not

625
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:52.039
<v Speaker 2>having a great year, but I mean SMU will probably

626
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:54.240
<v Speaker 2>still end up finishing in the top five of the ACC,

627
00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:58.119
<v Speaker 2>which again probably says more about the ACC than anything else.

628
00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:02.480
<v Speaker 2>But that's another example of how timing is is kind

629
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:05.440
<v Speaker 2>of you know, it's on our side, I suppose. And

630
00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:08.079
<v Speaker 2>what I mean by that is in previous years, I

631
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:10.640
<v Speaker 2>think I would have, like, you know, if Louisville was

632
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:13.519
<v Speaker 2>in this position and it wasn't year one of Pat Kelce,

633
00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:16.720
<v Speaker 2>they weren't coming off of a four win season and

634
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:19.640
<v Speaker 2>an eight win season, but yet they were still right

635
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:22.240
<v Speaker 2>here looking like the second best team in the ACC,

636
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:24.680
<v Speaker 2>looking like a Serfire tournament team, and they're in the

637
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:27.359
<v Speaker 2>top twenty one. Because they're up to twenty one down

638
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:29.640
<v Speaker 2>the Ape pole, I feel like I would have been

639
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:33.680
<v Speaker 2>a little triggered and bothered by the ACC being as

640
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:35.799
<v Speaker 2>bad as it is. I would have been triggered by

641
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:41.400
<v Speaker 2>talking heads, meaning, you know, asking if Louisville is actually

642
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:43.799
<v Speaker 2>any good at all because the ACC is so down.

643
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:46.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I feel like I probably, I mean, there's

644
00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:47.680
<v Speaker 2>nothing I would have been able to do about it.

645
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:49.400
<v Speaker 2>It's not like I wouldn't have enjoyed it, but like,

646
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I just so don't care about any of that right now,

647
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:57.440
<v Speaker 2>just because again, I'm enjoying the ride that they've been on. Really,

648
00:28:58.039 --> 00:28:59.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, since Pat Kelsey got here, there's been some

649
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:03.279
<v Speaker 2>real enthusiasm that he's injected into the program. That's been great,

650
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:05.440
<v Speaker 2>it's been what we've needed. But this run they've been

651
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:07.880
<v Speaker 2>on since January, I mean, this has been I mean,

652
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:11.039
<v Speaker 2>if they win tomorrow, that'll that'll put them Let me

653
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:13.960
<v Speaker 2>pull up the schedule here, because they've got tomorrow night

654
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:16.759
<v Speaker 2>wake for US, which they're currently projected to win by

655
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:20.319
<v Speaker 2>ten according to kin Pom here, and their next game

656
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:24.119
<v Speaker 2>is Saturday, which is February first. So I mean, let's

657
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:27.559
<v Speaker 2>say they win, and let's say they win by the

658
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:30.119
<v Speaker 2>projected score here from the ken Pom formula, they win

659
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.000
<v Speaker 2>seventy four to sixty four. I mean, you're going to

660
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:37.599
<v Speaker 2>cap off a month that was I mean, absolutely phenomenal basketball.

661
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Your closest game would have been the win at Pittsburgh.

662
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.759
<v Speaker 2>But other than that, I mean you're talking. You beat

663
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:53.319
<v Speaker 2>Carolina about thirteen, beat Virginia by twenty, beat Clemson by ten.

664
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:55.359
<v Speaker 2>Again I mentioned pitt that was a four point win

665
00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:59.000
<v Speaker 2>for you on the road. You beat Syracuse by twenty four,

666
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.680
<v Speaker 2>you beat Virginia by fourteen, you beat SMU by twenty five.

667
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:07.400
<v Speaker 2>And again, I know, as I say this, there's many

668
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:09.079
<v Speaker 2>of you thinking, well, yeah, what do you expect? The

669
00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:12.519
<v Speaker 2>ACC sucks? Well, I don't care. Again, I'm not saying

670
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:14.559
<v Speaker 2>you're wrong. The league is down in a major way,

671
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:17.200
<v Speaker 2>and I guess that's a nice way of saying that

672
00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:20.559
<v Speaker 2>the league kind of sucks this year. But I'd be

673
00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:22.880
<v Speaker 2>a liar if I said I cared at all, because

674
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:25.240
<v Speaker 2>it's not just like and I think you can and

675
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:28.240
<v Speaker 2>I could be wrong here, but you've seen teams that

676
00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:32.720
<v Speaker 2>you know aren't great or aren't playing well, and they're

677
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:36.039
<v Speaker 2>able to beat a team you know that is just

678
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:41.200
<v Speaker 2>worse than them. But Louisville's playing really good basketball regardless

679
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.200
<v Speaker 2>of the competition. And I'm sure if they were playing

680
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:48.079
<v Speaker 2>an SEC schedule during January, not an ACC schedule, would

681
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:52.599
<v Speaker 2>they be undefeated. Surely not. But both things can be true,

682
00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:57.559
<v Speaker 2>Louisll's playing really good basketball, and also you know they're

683
00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:00.319
<v Speaker 2>taking advantage of a league that's that's not what it

684
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:02.759
<v Speaker 2>usually is. Which we'll get to this on the other side,

685
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:05.960
<v Speaker 2>because wait, Forest, I mean, I guess I'm resetting this

686
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:08.680
<v Speaker 2>from last week, but I'm telling you, man, like they

687
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:11.880
<v Speaker 2>played Duke competitively. They lost that game by seven points.

688
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.079
<v Speaker 2>It was real close late and I don't know how

689
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.480
<v Speaker 2>good Wake is, but if they just didn't schedule the

690
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:21.599
<v Speaker 2>way they did, they would safely be in the tournament

691
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:24.720
<v Speaker 2>right now. And I happen to think that they almost

692
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:26.880
<v Speaker 2>are in. I mean, I think they're in a position

693
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:29.400
<v Speaker 2>where I shouldn't say they have no chance of making it.

694
00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:32.400
<v Speaker 2>But look, it's the end of January. Here, they're at

695
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:34.599
<v Speaker 2>seventy three in the kin Palm, and I think right

696
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:38.440
<v Speaker 2>around there in the net. I mean, I'm just mad

697
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:41.240
<v Speaker 2>at them because I think tomorrow a win for Louisville

698
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:43.440
<v Speaker 2>actually would be a pretty impressive win because of how

699
00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:45.680
<v Speaker 2>well Wake is played, But the numbers aren't going to

700
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:47.400
<v Speaker 2>tell you that, and it's just it all could have

701
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:49.119
<v Speaker 2>been avoided. I mean, I'm looking at it from the

702
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:51.799
<v Speaker 2>Louisville perspective, like, hey, you should you should have better numbers.

703
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Want we want more credit when we beat you, if,

704
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:56.119
<v Speaker 2>of course we do beat you. But like if I'm

705
00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:59.519
<v Speaker 2>a wake Forest fan, whoever puts your schedule together, like

706
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:02.359
<v Speaker 2>they should be held accountable because it's a big factor

707
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:04.240
<v Speaker 2>in why you're probably not going to go to the tournament.

708
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I quick break will come back and wrap up the

709
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:08.000
<v Speaker 2>four o'clock hour. On the other side, it's coffee and company.

710
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:10.079
<v Speaker 2>Felbout Thornon right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

711
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

712
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:15.839
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

713
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I've neglected the text line today and I'll I'll apologize.

714
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Five two six five three zero seven ninety is the

715
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:26.039
<v Speaker 2>Ellen n Federal Credit Union text line. If you guys

716
00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:28.559
<v Speaker 2>want to text in, we don't have much time left here,

717
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:29.799
<v Speaker 2>but if you want to give us a call, we'll

718
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:31.599
<v Speaker 2>we'll certainly get to your calls on the five o'clock

719
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:33.599
<v Speaker 2>hour five o two, five to seven to one seventy

720
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:36.759
<v Speaker 2>nine hundred. But this text came in earlier and says Nick,

721
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:39.599
<v Speaker 2>am I the only one watching Kentucky and realizing we

722
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:41.119
<v Speaker 2>should have beat them, and if we'd have played him

723
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:43.759
<v Speaker 2>now it might be a different game, might be. I mean,

724
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky losing to Vandy over the weekend isn't like some

725
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:54.160
<v Speaker 2>huge surprise because I mean they were on the road. Vandy,

726
00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:56.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, is Vandy rank now, I wouldn't be shocked

727
00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:58.839
<v Speaker 2>if they are. It is their second top ten team

728
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:01.240
<v Speaker 2>that they beat, right yeah, up to number twenty four.

729
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:04.480
<v Speaker 2>And look, we talked about it last week, Vandy. If

730
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:06.680
<v Speaker 2>that's one of the worst teams in the SEC, that

731
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:09.400
<v Speaker 2>speaks to how good the SEC is. But I'm not

732
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:12.039
<v Speaker 2>sure they're one of the worst teams honestly looking at

733
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, i'd say South Carolina and Arkansas and LSU

734
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:24.079
<v Speaker 2>and you probably have to throw Georgia and Oklahoma in there. Honestly,

735
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:27.240
<v Speaker 2>which Oklahoma be being you know, I guess. I mean,

736
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma's still fifteen and four, but they're two and four

737
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:32.839
<v Speaker 2>in league play, and I mean it doesn't matter in

738
00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:34.759
<v Speaker 2>the grand scheme of things, but that's a team that

739
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:38.279
<v Speaker 2>Louisville lost to. Therefore, if they do well and stay

740
00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:41.720
<v Speaker 2>in the top fifty, it'll be a quad one. But yeah, Vandy,

741
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:44.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean, Vandy right now is four and

742
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:47.759
<v Speaker 2>three in the league, alongside Tennessee, Texas A and m

743
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:52.759
<v Speaker 2>Mississippi State, and yeah, that's it. So with Vandy beating

744
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky and Tennessee, I mean, I think it's clear they're

745
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:58.039
<v Speaker 2>not one of the worst teams in that league, and

746
00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:00.880
<v Speaker 2>they're actually pretty good. In Kentucky bad, I mean, they

747
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:04.400
<v Speaker 2>weren't they did. It was weird how Kentucky ended up

748
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:09.079
<v Speaker 2>kind of getting really not not blown out, but I

749
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:10.519
<v Speaker 2>mean it was getting away from him at the end

750
00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:12.159
<v Speaker 2>of the half. I mean, I don't remember what it

751
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:13.880
<v Speaker 2>was half as far as the score, but they were

752
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:17.000
<v Speaker 2>down I think it was nearly fifteen. Well, Kentucky clawed

753
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:18.719
<v Speaker 2>all the way back, took the lead, got up like

754
00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:20.920
<v Speaker 2>seven or eight, and then it kind of just, you know,

755
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:25.159
<v Speaker 2>it slipped away from him. So Kentucky I think they

756
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:27.239
<v Speaker 2>did well. They didn't have Andrew Carr and that that's

757
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:29.719
<v Speaker 2>that's an issue. I mean, he obviously is somebody that

758
00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:33.159
<v Speaker 2>is valuable to them, and without him, they're just not

759
00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:34.920
<v Speaker 2>as good. I mean, they got to play guys who

760
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:37.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, probably they wouldn't play as many minutes if

761
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:40.480
<v Speaker 2>if if Andrew Carr was healthy. So it doesn't sound

762
00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:43.039
<v Speaker 2>like he's gonna be back this week. Maybe even longer.

763
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Pope was kind of vague, but it sounds like they're

764
00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:48.199
<v Speaker 2>gonna kind of let him heel up, and maybe he's

765
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:50.280
<v Speaker 2>been playing hurt for weeks now and now they're gonna

766
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:52.440
<v Speaker 2>let him rest and clearly try to make it to

767
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:54.360
<v Speaker 2>where he's as healthy as can be. When you get

768
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:57.280
<v Speaker 2>to later in the season, whenever, you know it matters more.

769
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:00.519
<v Speaker 2>But to answer your question, yeah, I mean I think

770
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:04.519
<v Speaker 2>Louisville played Kentucky on a neutral floor right now. Yeah,

771
00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean I think they could win. I don't know

772
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:07.519
<v Speaker 2>if they would, but I mean, look, they could have

773
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:09.920
<v Speaker 2>beat him in rough they did, and Kentucky deserves credit

774
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:12.760
<v Speaker 2>for winning, and you know they were better that night

775
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:17.079
<v Speaker 2>and wouldn't be shocked if they played again and Kentucky won,

776
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:20.480
<v Speaker 2>just because again, Kentucky's a good team. And I wish

777
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I could take more joy in their losses in SEC play.

778
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:25.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I did enjoy it Saturday. I'm not gonna

779
00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:28.519
<v Speaker 2>lie because you know, I like when the rival loses.

780
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:31.840
<v Speaker 2>But I also don't think that they're a bad team

781
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:34.039
<v Speaker 2>by any means, Like, I don't think they're falling apart.

782
00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:35.880
<v Speaker 2>I just think they're gonna be one of those teams

783
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:39.440
<v Speaker 2>in the SEC that ends up with a pretty you know,

784
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:44.480
<v Speaker 2>mid record and league play. But yet the resume their numbers, right,

785
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:48.280
<v Speaker 2>the net ranking is probably gonna be pretty strong to

786
00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:50.840
<v Speaker 2>where they're gonna get a good seed. I mean, I

787
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:53.119
<v Speaker 2>heard Matt bring it up on KSR today asking if

788
00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:55.599
<v Speaker 2>he felt like he has any worry that Kentucky's gonna

789
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:58.920
<v Speaker 2>make the tournament, and I thought, that's insane, Like, I

790
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:00.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know how they could miss the tournament, but I

791
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:03.719
<v Speaker 2>guess if the losses just start to really pile up,

792
00:36:03.840 --> 00:36:08.519
<v Speaker 2>maybe that's a conversation. But I'm telling you they're gonna

793
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:11.679
<v Speaker 2>lose games and not fall at all in the net. Now,

794
00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:13.159
<v Speaker 2>the net is not the end all be all, but

795
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:15.199
<v Speaker 2>of course is what the NC double. It's what the

796
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:18.239
<v Speaker 2>committee uses to I mean, they use that number more

797
00:36:18.280 --> 00:36:20.199
<v Speaker 2>than any other number. They also, you would think, use

798
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:22.599
<v Speaker 2>their eyeballs, and they're aware not every quad one win

799
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:26.119
<v Speaker 2>is the same value that kind of stuff, so it matters.

800
00:36:26.199 --> 00:36:29.400
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, they're fourteen, and I guess if you

801
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:31.320
<v Speaker 2>are worried that they're not gonna make the tournament, if

802
00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:33.840
<v Speaker 2>you're a Kentucky fan, it would just be that you

803
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:37.800
<v Speaker 2>realize you've now lost to at least one team, maybe

804
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:39.880
<v Speaker 2>two teams in your league that you know aren't going

805
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:44.559
<v Speaker 2>to be like, be honest, the Oklahoma I'm sorry, not Oklahoma,

806
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:48.920
<v Speaker 2>but Georgia. That loss doesn't look very good now. I

807
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:52.119
<v Speaker 2>mean it's probably, But again with that said, as long

808
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:56.480
<v Speaker 2>as Georgia stays in the top, you know, well, I

809
00:36:56.519 --> 00:37:01.679
<v Speaker 2>guess a quad one loss is on the at somebody

810
00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:04.480
<v Speaker 2>who was a quater one loss is when you play

811
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:06.960
<v Speaker 2>somebody at their place and they're in the top seventy five.

812
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Georgia could keep losing and not fall that far,

813
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:13.719
<v Speaker 2>because again, you're playing some of the best teams in

814
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:15.760
<v Speaker 2>the country night in a night out, So any conversation

815
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:18.559
<v Speaker 2>about them not making the tournament, I have a hard

816
00:37:18.559 --> 00:37:22.519
<v Speaker 2>time seeing that happen. But I don't know. Again, you

817
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.639
<v Speaker 2>still have to play Tennessee, who you traveled to Knoxville

818
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:27.280
<v Speaker 2>to play them tomorrow. They're clearly one of the best

819
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:30.000
<v Speaker 2>teams in the country. You did beat Florida, but you're

820
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.199
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to play them again at their place. You

821
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:35.599
<v Speaker 2>will play at Alabama, who got you at home just

822
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:38.159
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks ago. But look, they still have

823
00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:47.239
<v Speaker 2>South Carolina, Arkansas LSU, Oklahoma Texas. I mean, those are

824
00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:51.199
<v Speaker 2>games that Kentucky should win, regardless if they're at home

825
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:55.159
<v Speaker 2>or on the road. However, doesn't mean they're going to

826
00:37:55.239 --> 00:37:56.800
<v Speaker 2>right like they should have beat Bandy. If they play

827
00:37:56.880 --> 00:38:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Vandy ten times, they probably win seven or eight, maybe

828
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:02.440
<v Speaker 2>even more, I don't know, maybe they get nine and

829
00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:04.239
<v Speaker 2>the only loss that they would take is the one

830
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:07.960
<v Speaker 2>that they just suffered. So I just I think Kentucky's

831
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:09.920
<v Speaker 2>been a really easy team to figure out. When they

832
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:11.960
<v Speaker 2>end up getting the game played at their style, the

833
00:38:11.960 --> 00:38:15.039
<v Speaker 2>way they want to play fast, then they can find

834
00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:18.079
<v Speaker 2>themselves in a situation where they can beat anybody. I mean,

835
00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:21.039
<v Speaker 2>they were right there and just couldn't outlast Alabama. They

836
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:23.440
<v Speaker 2>beat Florida, They have wins against a Gonzaga and Duke,

837
00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:27.440
<v Speaker 2>which again, those are really valuable. So they're clearly as

838
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:30.320
<v Speaker 2>dangerous as maybe anybody when things are going well for

839
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:33.360
<v Speaker 2>them and they're making shots and they're playing at their pace.

840
00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:39.599
<v Speaker 2>But they're also vulnerable in a way that you wouldn't

841
00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:41.639
<v Speaker 2>like a team that can be as good as they are,

842
00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:43.880
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't expect him to be as vulnerable as they

843
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:46.400
<v Speaker 2>are at times where a game is not played really fast,

844
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:49.440
<v Speaker 2>it's slow. The team knows, hey, we're just going to

845
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:51.679
<v Speaker 2>be really physical and kind of rough them up. Like

846
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:53.199
<v Speaker 2>that makes it to where they can mess around and

847
00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:55.559
<v Speaker 2>not lose to anybody necessarily. But you know, they can

848
00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:58.000
<v Speaker 2>lose to Georgia, who at this point doesn't look like,

849
00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:02.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, a very good team. You know, their Ohio

850
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:05.360
<v Speaker 2>State loss doesn't really look like that good of a

851
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:09.519
<v Speaker 2>loss right now, Clemson. Clemson's taking advantage of the ACC

852
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:12.280
<v Speaker 2>being what it is, just like Louisville is, so that

853
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:14.440
<v Speaker 2>loss doesn't look terrible it was at their place. But

854
00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:17.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't know. I just I wish I

855
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:19.639
<v Speaker 2>could lie to you if you're a Louisville fan and

856
00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:23.320
<v Speaker 2>like you know, you were taking great enjoyment in Kentucky struggling.

857
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:25.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm with you on that, like I'd like

858
00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:27.480
<v Speaker 2>to see them lose, but I can't sit In fact,

859
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:30.079
<v Speaker 2>I guess what's really hard for me to say is

860
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:32.679
<v Speaker 2>the more I watch them play games like they do,

861
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:35.360
<v Speaker 2>like they played against Andy on Saturday and they lost,

862
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the more I realize from a personnel standpoint, I don't

863
00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:42.280
<v Speaker 2>think this team should be nearly as good as they are,

864
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:44.079
<v Speaker 2>as far as their resume in the record. I think

865
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:46.800
<v Speaker 2>they're having a really good season because of Mark Pope.

866
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:49.039
<v Speaker 2>He's got some good pieces to work with. I'm not

867
00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:51.079
<v Speaker 2>acting like he's out here coaching a bunch of walk Ons,

868
00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:55.119
<v Speaker 2>but you know, I think Mark Pope's doing a good

869
00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:56.519
<v Speaker 2>job with what he has. But if they don't have

870
00:39:56.559 --> 00:39:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Carr like for the foreseeable future, that could change

871
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:01.559
<v Speaker 2>things clearly. All right, quick break, We got the five

872
00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:03.880
<v Speaker 2>o'clock hour coming up. Stick around right here on Sports

873
00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:06.239
<v Speaker 2>Talk seven ninety
