00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:25.199
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick coffee.

3
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:29.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get it started, Ladies and Gentlemen, Hour

4
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.719
<v Speaker 2>number two, four o'clock hour. Here on a Thursday, A

5
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 2>beautiful day, wendy, very windy. In fact, I was running

6
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 2>around all day. It was one of those days that

7
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.280
<v Speaker 2>when I got here, I had already had a good

8
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.320
<v Speaker 2>amount of preparation taking care for the show. As I

9
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>always say, believe it or not, I do prepare. But

10
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 2>I was kind of kind of checked out for a

11
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 2>couple of hours, just being busy doing you know, growing

12
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 2>up stuff, running errands. Did get my car washed too,

13
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.159
<v Speaker 2>by the way, and a long line, very long line.

14
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:58.880
<v Speaker 2>But it went quick, like I'm pulled in and like,

15
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 2>all right, if this thing goes as quickly as they

16
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>as they claim it does, then then I shouldn't be

17
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.079
<v Speaker 2>a big deal. And sure enough, it went really quick.

18
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.319
<v Speaker 2>But I did the thing. I didn't put it.

19
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.239
<v Speaker 3>I thought I put it in neutral, and I didn't.

20
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.239
<v Speaker 2>So then it was in drive still and I took

21
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 2>my foot off the brake and it bumped forward and

22
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 2>there was like three due.

23
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:18.400
<v Speaker 3>Someone was in your passenger seat, what do I say?

24
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:24.280
<v Speaker 2>So then I I quickly stopped, and then he had

25
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:25.879
<v Speaker 2>me kind of like back up and get right back

26
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>on the on what I needed to, you know, with

27
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.120
<v Speaker 2>the car needed to be sitting on. And then I

28
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>put it in neutral and I put my hands up

29
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 2>like I was getting out of the vehicle, as if

30
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>I was being arrested at gunpoint. And then it went through,

31
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 2>went smooth. So yeah, uh, the car got a bath,

32
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 2>and it was it was very much needed. But anyways,

33
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.120
<v Speaker 2>I was checked out, thinking like maybe I missed some

34
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>stuff that, you know, that that would have been good

35
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.719
<v Speaker 2>things to bring up on the show, and I really can't.

36
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's a lot of things we're still gonna

37
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 2>get to in these next couple of hours. But I

38
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 2>always had that little fear about, all right, if I

39
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.680
<v Speaker 2>if I'm not plugged in on AX and Twitter for

40
00:01:57.719 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 2>an hour, then I'm gonna miss something and I'm gonna

41
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 2>feel like the biggest bozo out there, because you know,

42
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be something that everybody's talking about and I

43
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 2>just don't even know about it, which, by the way,

44
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 2>that happens, like I I mean, I can't live online

45
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty four to seven one, because that wouldn't be healthy

46
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>for me, and also like that that's not how I

47
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.840
<v Speaker 2>want to live. But with this there's always that, you know,

48
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:21.919
<v Speaker 2>I think even people listening now that just consume content

49
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.000
<v Speaker 2>like this show like it's just it's it's kind of

50
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 2>like your lifestyle. Not to say that, like you know,

51
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>it's your life.

52
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:29.479
<v Speaker 3>Maybe it is.

53
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 2>If it is, then thank you for giving us your life.

54
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:32.439
<v Speaker 2>But you know what I mean, like you want to

55
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 2>you want to be up, you want to be up

56
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.879
<v Speaker 2>to date as best you can on like what's going

57
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 2>on with the local teams around here and in you know, honestly,

58
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>that's that's kind of how I've the people who consume

59
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>stuff like this regularly, Like I feel like that's a

60
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 2>lot of you. And there's some people that you know,

61
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 2>you get in the car on your way home or

62
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where, maybe you're running your daily errands

63
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 2>or whatever it is during three to six at some

64
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 2>point in that window of time, and you catch us

65
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 2>and you've enjoyed, hopefully, and if you and enjoyed, then

66
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 2>you probably wouldn't keep listening. But anyways, this is not

67
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:05.159
<v Speaker 2>something that I'd planned on talking about, but I do

68
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 2>find it interesting? Have you heard about the most recent

69
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 2>media fight?

70
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 3>You hear about this all time? We got to talk

71
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 3>about it.

72
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>So a guy who I've never really known who he was, Like,

73
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 2>I've never understood like where he came from, like what

74
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>his background is. But he's got a ton of followers.

75
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>He does the thing on He's one of those guys

76
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 2>that probably got his foot in the door with a legitimate,

77
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:33.960
<v Speaker 2>like mainstream media type job covering sports because he had

78
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>a massive following that he built online that the network

79
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 2>simply knew they could benefit from that. And his name

80
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 2>is Jordan Schultz. You know who that is, So google

81
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>him Jordan Schultz s c ch u ltz because I

82
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 2>have a feeling you may recognize as mug because he's

83
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 2>somebody that like. And I'm trying to pull up his

84
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.639
<v Speaker 2>Twitter and this used to be like I don't think

85
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 2>this is still a thing, but there's a lot of

86
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.879
<v Speaker 2>folks like you ever heard the name Gosh, I can't

87
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 2>think of this guy's They used to cover the NBA

88
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.280
<v Speaker 2>and work for I think the ringer Sam Vassini.

89
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:09.840
<v Speaker 3>You know that name?

90
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 2>Yes, So Sam Bassini, a guy who, again, you know,

91
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what's back. I've seen this guy so

92
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 2>like he he'll have like I'm trying to find his

93
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.560
<v Speaker 2>his socials. I don't see him on ya on Twitter.

94
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Is this is a legitimate Yeah, his Twitter account. I

95
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.160
<v Speaker 2>mean he's got three hundred and twenty five point five

96
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 2>thousand followers on Twitter, but he also follows one hundred

97
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 2>and eight thousand people, So he did a lot of

98
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.720
<v Speaker 2>mass follow to get a follow in return, because they'll see, wow.

99
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 3>Schultz Report he works for Fox. Yeah, used to work

100
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:42.839
<v Speaker 3>for Bleacher Report.

101
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.079
<v Speaker 2>Like they'll they'll see that and think, Okay, I better

102
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:47.839
<v Speaker 2>be following this guy. He chose to follow me. But

103
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.720
<v Speaker 2>really it's just strategic. Sam Vassini did the same thing.

104
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 2>And look, they do good work. Clearly they're they're they're

105
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 2>making they're in the business. So I don't want to

106
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 2>like act like I'm belittling them, but really like they

107
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.199
<v Speaker 2>became kind of big online before they got it, and

108
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 2>like that's that's not that uncommon.

109
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.040
<v Speaker 3>But anyways, what I was getting at is he.

110
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.399
<v Speaker 2>Is he's always claimed to be, you know, a real

111
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 2>big insider, like getting all the scoop, and I think

112
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:12.560
<v Speaker 2>he currently works.

113
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 3>For is it Fox?

114
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Let me pull it up here anyways, he was in

115
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.319
<v Speaker 2>he got into it, and I don't even like, can

116
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.759
<v Speaker 2>you call it a fight if it's not physical, you can,

117
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.480
<v Speaker 2>because like couples fight, but it's not physical. But he

118
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 2>is now with Fox Sports, and he confronted NFL Networks

119
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 2>Ian Rappaport, who everybody knows, right like rap sheet, Yeah,

120
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's he's he's to me, the closest competition

121
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:40.800
<v Speaker 2>that Chefty has, right, Yeah, I mean like it because yeah, yeah,

122
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 2>he's so you know. I actually I like Rappaport quite

123
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:45.319
<v Speaker 2>a bit, but sometimes he can do like he can

124
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>he can just be you know, like it's just a

125
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:49.839
<v Speaker 2>personal taste kind of thing for me. But like if

126
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:51.839
<v Speaker 2>you take yourself like way too serious, like it's just like,

127
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:53.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, not that I don't like you, not that

128
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't respect you, it's just like, yeah, I'm not.

129
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:55.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, I don't, I don't.

130
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 2>It's not that serious, bro, Like I don't, you know,

131
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.639
<v Speaker 2>nothing bothers me more And I don't know why. It's

132
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.759
<v Speaker 2>just everybody's got something that just gets to them, gets

133
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:04.519
<v Speaker 2>under their skin, and you don't even really know why.

134
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 2>You wish it didn't bother you the way it does.

135
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:07.959
<v Speaker 2>You know, it doesn't bother other people the way it

136
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 2>bothers you. But the live on air rather be a

137
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 2>radio interview, or you're doing a TV hit on set

138
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 2>of Sports Center and you got three phones on the table.

139
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, you don't need three phones, you jerk.

140
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.399
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say you a whole like, like, like,

141
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.399
<v Speaker 2>what are you trying to like you don't need three phones?

142
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.199
<v Speaker 2>Like you're just trying to make it very obvious that

143
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 2>you're so connected when we already know that.

144
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:35.120
<v Speaker 3>And then like when.

145
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.959
<v Speaker 2>Chefty's when Chef Y's live on TV with Scott Van

146
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Pelt and he has to do look, Scott, I'm.

147
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:41.519
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, I.

148
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:47.519
<v Speaker 2>Got I gotta, I gotta take this s Austin sorry, Like.

149
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 3>That's not real.

150
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:52.120
<v Speaker 2>And you and I, if you're really doing your job,

151
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 2>ESPN wouldn't put you up there to do it. They

152
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.879
<v Speaker 2>would say, no, you work the phones. We pay you

153
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.480
<v Speaker 2>the big bucks to break the stories. And like it's

154
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.480
<v Speaker 2>just such an obvious force to make it look like,

155
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this guy's got everything, which again they do

156
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.360
<v Speaker 2>have the scoops, but it just has always been such

157
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:13.240
<v Speaker 2>a fake thing to look like everybody's wanting to talk

158
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.680
<v Speaker 2>to you, and like It's just it's like an insecurity

159
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.319
<v Speaker 2>thing that you want that to be even more evident

160
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:21.000
<v Speaker 2>than it it's already naturally there, like, don't overdo it.

161
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:21.959
<v Speaker 3>Does it makes sense.

162
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Get picked on in high school having a as people.

163
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Say, Yeah, I wouldn't be shocked if that was the

164
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 2>background in anyways, these two guys, I guess the best

165
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.120
<v Speaker 2>word to use. Everybody's calling it a media fight, which

166
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:37.199
<v Speaker 2>I do love. I do love the I think I

167
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.639
<v Speaker 2>might have been a Bigcat from Barstool who put it

168
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.079
<v Speaker 2>out there as far as how he described it, But anyways,

169
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Fox Sports reporter Jordan Schultz confronted NFL Network reporter Ian

170
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Rappaport in person at the Starbucks and the JW.

171
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:50.680
<v Speaker 3>Marriott Lobby.

172
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:55.079
<v Speaker 2>So apparently this happened in Indianapolis at the NFL Draft combine.

173
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:57.759
<v Speaker 2>It was first reported in detail by Pro Football Talk

174
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:02.319
<v Speaker 2>and then ended up coming up on the Barstool podcast

175
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Pardon My Take with PFT and Bigcat, and it says

176
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>the two dueling NFL insiders were at odds over conflicting

177
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 2>reports regarding Tom Brady and Matt Stafford. Earlier in the day,

178
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Schultz reported that Brady recently hosted Stafford at his home

179
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>in Montana with the intent of wooing the quarterback to

180
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.519
<v Speaker 2>the Raiders. Rappaport contradict the report, saying that the two

181
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.439
<v Speaker 2>ran into each other and that the meeting was unplanned,

182
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.240
<v Speaker 2>was not extensive or in depth, and did not include

183
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:30.439
<v Speaker 2>Brady hosting or recruiting Stafford, despite reports saying otherwise. So

184
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Schultz then doubled down, writing quote, if you really think

185
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Tom Brady and Matt Stafford just happened to run into

186
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.440
<v Speaker 2>each other at a ski resort in Montana, of all places,

187
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.480
<v Speaker 2>at the exact same time, I've got a bridge to

188
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:44.519
<v Speaker 2>sell you. Eventually, Brady's agent did end up telling Rapaport

189
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 2>at Rappaport's NFL media colleague, Tom Pellasero, quote, I know

190
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.000
<v Speaker 2>that reporters sometimes make mistakes in their haste, but this

191
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:53.399
<v Speaker 2>story's inaccurate.

192
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 3>So, according to Pro.

193
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Football Talk, Schultz verbally accosted Rappaport at the Starbucks and

194
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>basically saying this is what he said. If you have

195
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.200
<v Speaker 2>anything to say to me, say it to my effing face.

196
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.840
<v Speaker 2>If this continues, we're going to have an effing problem problem.

197
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.399
<v Speaker 2>Schultz told the outlet that he didn't remember using profanity,

198
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.120
<v Speaker 2>but acknowledged having a verbal confrontation with Rappaport, who referred

199
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.000
<v Speaker 2>to the altercation who by the way, yeah, he told

200
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:16.759
<v Speaker 2>on him went.

201
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 3>To the NFL security.

202
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.799
<v Speaker 2>Schultz and reps for Rappaport and NFL media did not

203
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:25.399
<v Speaker 2>immediately respond to text messages from Front Office Sports seeking comment.

204
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:31.759
<v Speaker 2>So here here's what I believe happened. So Rapaport, he's

205
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:39.960
<v Speaker 2>capital j og, traditional mainstream, he's he's appointed, right, my

206
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.120
<v Speaker 2>man established, my man Schultz self mate and.

207
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:46.279
<v Speaker 3>Does get scooped sometimes.

208
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.200
<v Speaker 2>And here's what I know about Schultz, A little bit young,

209
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:54.360
<v Speaker 2>younger guy. He's got his father. His father is a

210
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.799
<v Speaker 2>celebrity in some former fashion. Because I learned that recently

211
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>and didn't know it, which that helped me. That actually

212
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:03.039
<v Speaker 2>helped me get a better understanding for sort of how

213
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:06.399
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Schultz was able to be like so connected without

214
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.440
<v Speaker 2>like really any reason other than you know, decent fol

215
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Like he's kind of an unknown guy, like you see him,

216
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.039
<v Speaker 2>Like when I said Jordan Schultz, you didn't know the

217
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:13.360
<v Speaker 2>name Austin, but when you look at his face you

218
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:14.080
<v Speaker 2>knew you've seen him.

219
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:19.879
<v Speaker 3>Right, So Howard Schultz is is.

220
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:24.519
<v Speaker 2>Is that is that the CEO of Starbucks because I knew, yes, so,

221
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.240
<v Speaker 2>but but is that really his Now now I gotta

222
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.440
<v Speaker 2>look it up because because the scenario, yeah, his son,

223
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.320
<v Speaker 2>yeah he so that that is that is an element

224
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.159
<v Speaker 2>to this. I wasn't even aware of that. The altercation

225
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.399
<v Speaker 2>took place at a Starbucks where, you know, his dad

226
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.320
<v Speaker 2>happens to be the founder of you know, one of

227
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.000
<v Speaker 2>the biggest brands on the planet. So that that that

228
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.440
<v Speaker 2>that explains a little bit more so how he's got

229
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:49.919
<v Speaker 2>some resources maybe some uh yeah, resources internally to kind

230
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:53.799
<v Speaker 2>of prop him, Like he can basically use money, daddy's

231
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.240
<v Speaker 2>money if if I may to like be an insider,

232
00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.799
<v Speaker 2>right like, you know, not do it the traditional way.

233
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:04.000
<v Speaker 2>So here's what I have learned about Jordan Schultz when

234
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:06.840
<v Speaker 2>he does get scoops and when so he's very wealthy, right,

235
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.240
<v Speaker 2>so he actually hangs out with some players, Like I

236
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.159
<v Speaker 2>don't know if he's buying, like buying you know, if

237
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:12.559
<v Speaker 2>he's you know, paying a lot of money just to

238
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.120
<v Speaker 2>be able to rub elbows with him, if he's actually

239
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.840
<v Speaker 2>friends with him. But he he's talking more so to players.

240
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.799
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't talk to agents, the ogs like Chefty and

241
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.919
<v Speaker 2>of course rapaport, they talk to agents. Agents don't talk

242
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 2>to Schultz because they don't see him as a legitimate guy.

243
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.039
<v Speaker 2>They just think he's some you know, But he's also

244
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.399
<v Speaker 2>not just some random dude in his mom's basement his

245
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.200
<v Speaker 2>dad found at Starbucks. So my guess is that he

246
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.240
<v Speaker 2>did get good info from just knowing people in the NFL,

247
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.679
<v Speaker 2>maybe one of those two. And this is this is

248
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:43.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's people here in this market, people who

249
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:47.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, cover Louisville that do a great job. They're

250
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:51.519
<v Speaker 2>as connected as anybody. But man, if somebody gets something

251
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:56.279
<v Speaker 2>before them, they will report the same thing, but report

252
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.440
<v Speaker 2>it entirely differently as if they actually had the scoop

253
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:00.879
<v Speaker 2>in the other person didn't.

254
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:01.799
<v Speaker 3>Right, you know what I'm saying.

255
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.799
<v Speaker 2>So like they hate to get got and get scooped

256
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:08.840
<v Speaker 2>by somebody that you know didn't go through the you know,

257
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't go through the you know, the boot camp. Whatever

258
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.000
<v Speaker 2>it is about being additional way exactly, I used to

259
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:16.960
<v Speaker 2>run into that all the time, and I don't really

260
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.159
<v Speaker 2>know what the path is now because now really getting

261
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 2>into whatever this is like you better have you better

262
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:24.919
<v Speaker 2>be doing something elsewhere, you know what I mean? Like

263
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:27.480
<v Speaker 2>you better be you know, you better have a platform

264
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.159
<v Speaker 2>that that was on your own, like whenever I used

265
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.360
<v Speaker 2>to get credentialed and I am now still, but like

266
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.039
<v Speaker 2>when I first started getting credential to go to cover

267
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:37.279
<v Speaker 2>UFL games just with my blog that I started, gosh

268
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.720
<v Speaker 2>fifteen years ago, like it was a you get a

269
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.399
<v Speaker 2>lot of side eyes from people, you know what I mean.

270
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:44.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was this guy. Yeah, like this is Guy's

271
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:45.759
<v Speaker 3>not a case. Guy's not real. Who's he?

272
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:48.879
<v Speaker 2>So, like, you know, you you kind of get a

273
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.799
<v Speaker 2>chip on your shoulder. That's good, you bringing up to

274
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Dave Jennings. I like that, but the you know, you

275
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:57.559
<v Speaker 2>kind of get a chip on your shoulder and you

276
00:12:57.639 --> 00:12:59.799
<v Speaker 2>kind of become hungry to maybe continue to do it.

277
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:02.559
<v Speaker 2>You're way, but like also work, work your ass off

278
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.480
<v Speaker 2>and and and you know get it. However, you do

279
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:08.000
<v Speaker 2>do a good job whatever way you whatever way is

280
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:10.360
<v Speaker 2>your way, if that makes sense. Like I remember, there

281
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.600
<v Speaker 2>were people that were not very nice to me, and

282
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't mean like they bullied me, but like they

283
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.480
<v Speaker 2>were they were pricks to be honest with you. And

284
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.440
<v Speaker 2>then there were some people that knew that that were

285
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of a part of the traditional media that that

286
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:26.000
<v Speaker 2>like were nice to me and like knew that, like

287
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.799
<v Speaker 2>people were kind of being crappy. And again, I don't

288
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:30.639
<v Speaker 2>want to misrepresent it like I was. I was going

289
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.799
<v Speaker 2>home and crying myself to sleep. But you know, you

290
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:36.320
<v Speaker 2>get some sideways looks. Uh, you know, you get you know,

291
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I remember saying hello to somebody who didn't say hello

292
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.120
<v Speaker 2>back to me intentionally and ignored me and it and

293
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:44.399
<v Speaker 2>it made me feel like I was two inches tall

294
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:47.759
<v Speaker 2>and it it made me mad and then sad, and

295
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:49.240
<v Speaker 2>then like I just realized, Okay, this is what it is.

296
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:50.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna not care. I'm just going wrong with Tom.

297
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm just yeah, it's cold outside that when at there

298
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:55.039
<v Speaker 3>to day is brutal. Man.

299
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Don't let that son deceive if you. But anyways, he

300
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:00.320
<v Speaker 2>so you know, you remember that kind of stuff. And

301
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:02.399
<v Speaker 2>I won't say on the air who it is, but

302
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you it is off the air, Austin. But anyways,

303
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:06.759
<v Speaker 2>there were people who you know, they kind of you know,

304
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:09.000
<v Speaker 2>they were friendly with me, and then some of them

305
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:10.440
<v Speaker 2>actually gave me a good opportunity.

306
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:11.720
<v Speaker 3>Like Chip Cosby.

307
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.440
<v Speaker 2>He was working at C and two Sports at the time,

308
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:15.879
<v Speaker 2>and you know he was He's a guy who covered

309
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky and U of L for for many years.

310
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:19.399
<v Speaker 3>Chip's a great.

311
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:20.799
<v Speaker 2>Guy, and he was kind to me and had me

312
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.679
<v Speaker 2>on his TV show, right, he had the blogger on

313
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:25.360
<v Speaker 2>his TV show, not one of the capitol Jay's still

314
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.000
<v Speaker 2>working in print journalism, and that, you know, that was

315
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:29.799
<v Speaker 2>a that he didn't have to do that, and that,

316
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:31.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, that one that helped me made me look

317
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.399
<v Speaker 2>more you know, official, even though I'm not. And you

318
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.399
<v Speaker 2>know that was nice. Cel Brown great to me when

319
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.240
<v Speaker 2>nobody else was. And see is a great guy, really

320
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:42.519
<v Speaker 2>good guy and does great work. And you know, I

321
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.120
<v Speaker 2>just I don't agree with everything he says at times.

322
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:45.639
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure none of these guys agree with everything

323
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I say all the time. So it's not about like

324
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:50.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's just those are things that always stick

325
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:50.519
<v Speaker 2>with me.

326
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:52.519
<v Speaker 3>You know, Jeff Greer was great to me.

327
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.240
<v Speaker 2>He got here a little bit later after I'd already

328
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:57.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of started, but you know, he was Jeff's a

329
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.519
<v Speaker 2>good friend, and and you know, you remember those kind

330
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:01.759
<v Speaker 2>of people because but nowadays, like you go to a

331
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:05.000
<v Speaker 2>game Credentials, which I still go from time to time,

332
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:11.000
<v Speaker 2>and man, the majority of it is is fan driven creators,

333
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:14.240
<v Speaker 2>right like I called them creators. Creators now because it's

334
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.919
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily like just a blog, like you got to

335
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:19.519
<v Speaker 2>be creating content in all aspects of it, Instagram, TikTok,

336
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:20.360
<v Speaker 2>all that kind of stuff.

337
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:21.679
<v Speaker 3>So I think that's what happened here.

338
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I think Schultz, I think he probably did have because

339
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.320
<v Speaker 2>he's right. I mean, and this is where a rapaport

340
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:33.440
<v Speaker 2>screwed up. This is where he just got too big

341
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.159
<v Speaker 2>for his breeches and didn't read the room instead of

342
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:40.759
<v Speaker 2>just you know, because you're you know what you're I

343
00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:43.120
<v Speaker 2>guess supposed to do. And I realized early on, like

344
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:46.519
<v Speaker 2>I did break. I did break two stories. I put

345
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.360
<v Speaker 2>them out before anybody else. And I don't say I

346
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.240
<v Speaker 2>broke them to say that nobody else had it. I

347
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:51.879
<v Speaker 2>just remember knowing that nobody else put it out there

348
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.000
<v Speaker 2>and I did, and I guess that led to me

349
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.480
<v Speaker 2>getting credit. But like that's there. Used to be like

350
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:59.080
<v Speaker 2>some real gatekeepers when it comes to stuff like that, right, Oh,

351
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.080
<v Speaker 2>I had it first on board. Well, it's not public information.

352
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:03.679
<v Speaker 2>I made a public information. I don't I don't sign

353
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:04.679
<v Speaker 2>up to go to read your board, you know what

354
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:08.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean? Like, but Ryan Taylor was a twenty eleven

355
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.600
<v Speaker 2>signee for Louisville. Rick Patino was from Indianapolis, ended up

356
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.960
<v Speaker 2>transferring to Louisville Western High School, and I knew that

357
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.000
<v Speaker 2>he did not qualify academically and was not going to

358
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:19.720
<v Speaker 2>make it, which ended up happening. He ended up ended

359
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:21.120
<v Speaker 2>up going I think, to do a year at hard

360
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Grave and then you up at Marshall, I believe, but

361
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I put it out there that he didn't qualify and

362
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:27.200
<v Speaker 2>that he was not you know, he signed, but he

363
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.039
<v Speaker 2>will not be a part of the team. And I

364
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:34.159
<v Speaker 2>remember Lachlan McClain oh referenced it on his show and

365
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:37.919
<v Speaker 2>he mentioned the Cardinal Connect is reporting and I'm like, oh,

366
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.279
<v Speaker 2>here we go. And then you know, I felt like

367
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:41.600
<v Speaker 2>that that was that was a big deal for me.

368
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.200
<v Speaker 2>And then also I don't I shouldn't claim that like

369
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:46.559
<v Speaker 2>I had I put it out there first, but I

370
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:49.679
<v Speaker 2>just remember like not keeping up with who was putting

371
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:51.159
<v Speaker 2>what out but I put it out and then people

372
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:54.320
<v Speaker 2>started saying, at the card Connect had it first, or

373
00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.159
<v Speaker 2>like hat tip to this person was Wayne Blackshear when

374
00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:59.240
<v Speaker 2>he was first going to be able to play after

375
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.200
<v Speaker 2>he injured his shoulder. So anyways, you know, these are

376
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.640
<v Speaker 2>things that like you know, I remember thinking, okay, wow,

377
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:09.799
<v Speaker 2>like that that this I'm doing a good job, I guess.

378
00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:12.799
<v Speaker 2>But then I saw how caddy it is, how seventh

379
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.279
<v Speaker 2>grade girl, like some of the people in that industry

380
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.519
<v Speaker 2>are that. I'm like, I don't, this isn't me, and

381
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:20.359
<v Speaker 2>like I don't, Like I never wanted to be the

382
00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:22.359
<v Speaker 2>guy who had scoop or broke stories. I wanted to

383
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:24.599
<v Speaker 2>have fun and be a fan, you know what I mean. Yeah,

384
00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:26.799
<v Speaker 2>so like I never I kind of just shifted away

385
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.799
<v Speaker 2>from that whole thing after that. But again back to

386
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.839
<v Speaker 2>Rapaport for him to say they ran into each other

387
00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:39.440
<v Speaker 2>and it wasn't anything super formal. That is you with

388
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:43.240
<v Speaker 2>a full diaper because somebody had something and you're trying

389
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:46.559
<v Speaker 2>to like again report it, but different report it to

390
00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:48.519
<v Speaker 2>say they didn't actually have anything. They were just wrong.

391
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Here's what happened. Like that's you just not owning not

392
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.799
<v Speaker 2>even an L. It's not an L. But instead of

393
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.640
<v Speaker 2>just acknowledging that somebody had something, you put it out

394
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.200
<v Speaker 2>there and you know, in a different way. So I

395
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.960
<v Speaker 2>do love the guy for saying, you know, keep my

396
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:06.480
<v Speaker 2>name out. If you have something to say to me,

397
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:08.799
<v Speaker 2>say to my effing face. And also if you do

398
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:11.039
<v Speaker 2>it again, we're gonna have a big effing problem. Which

399
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.680
<v Speaker 2>also like Rapport, who've always kind of liked to take

400
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:17.440
<v Speaker 2>that to the NFL security what.

401
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:19.519
<v Speaker 3>A dow right? Like are you?

402
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:22.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean again, I guess technically like if you feel

403
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:24.160
<v Speaker 2>like you're in danger, you should, but like what a

404
00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:25.759
<v Speaker 2>narc you know what I mean?

405
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:28.559
<v Speaker 4>You got this rich soy boy son coming at you

406
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:30.480
<v Speaker 4>just get mad and you're just gonna how do you

407
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:30.880
<v Speaker 4>even go?

408
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.160
<v Speaker 3>But the rich boy your son is coming is coming correct?

409
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Right? That?

410
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:35.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, that's that's true. But like you said, there

411
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.519
<v Speaker 3>to be scared of him crazy. There's gatekeepers and there's

412
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:40.720
<v Speaker 3>someone that who's this guy? Right?

413
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:43.079
<v Speaker 4>Like I said, who this guy ever beat? And he's

414
00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:44.960
<v Speaker 4>getting a story right over me? How do you even

415
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.279
<v Speaker 4>what is there like an NFL security officer standing there

416
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:50.559
<v Speaker 4>that he forms a complaint with or does like he

417
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:52.519
<v Speaker 4>calls somebody in the end if I don't know how

418
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:55.319
<v Speaker 4>that process goes, but it sounds it sounds very sounds

419
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:55.920
<v Speaker 4>very deep.

420
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:57.799
<v Speaker 3>Like yeah, and I'll tell you what I think.

421
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:03.640
<v Speaker 2>I think if to give some level of the benefit

422
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.200
<v Speaker 2>of the doubt here to rap Aport, what I would say,

423
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:10.359
<v Speaker 2>is you know that that guy's dad is the founder

424
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:14.960
<v Speaker 2>of Starbucks, which means he's bookoo billionaire status, And people

425
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:16.640
<v Speaker 2>with that kind of money you kind of feel like

426
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:18.759
<v Speaker 2>they got power to do anything they want to you

427
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:19.960
<v Speaker 2>and probably get away with it.

428
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:22.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't mean that they would or should, or even.

429
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:24.960
<v Speaker 2>If that's the reality of it, but like, if I

430
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:26.640
<v Speaker 2>was fearful, I would be fearful of that, you know

431
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.279
<v Speaker 2>what I mean? Like, there's certain people that like they

432
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:31.160
<v Speaker 2>probably have the ability to like you.

433
00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:33.720
<v Speaker 3>I'll give you an example. There's a good example.

434
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:36.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if Tom Jerche wanted to when he was here,

435
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:39.000
<v Speaker 2>he could ruin your life, ruin your career if you

436
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:41.839
<v Speaker 2>were in this space, and everybody knew that and operated

437
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:44.680
<v Speaker 2>with the understanding that you didn't want to you didn't

438
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:46.119
<v Speaker 2>want to be that much on.

439
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:49.160
<v Speaker 3>His bad side. Also, the bigcat tweet that I.

440
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.359
<v Speaker 2>Can't find was something along the lines of, here we go,

441
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:53.559
<v Speaker 2>it's a good old fashioned media fight. You know what

442
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:56.480
<v Speaker 2>this means, fellas, Let's get prepared, get to your corners,

443
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:58.519
<v Speaker 2>get out of your laptops, and fight online.

444
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.640
<v Speaker 3>Isn't that perfect? The blogger wars.

445
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:04.799
<v Speaker 2>I missed those days kind of not really all right,

446
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:06.279
<v Speaker 2>We'll take a break, come back on the other side.

447
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Keep the party going.

448
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:08.960
<v Speaker 2>It's coffee and Company and we're fueled by Thorntons right

449
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:09.799
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven.

450
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:13.839
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

451
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

452
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:22.039
<v Speaker 2>I gotta be honest, I feel like this may be

453
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:24.759
<v Speaker 2>the first time you've ever played J Cole it is.

454
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:26.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm really not a big JA Cole. Oh dude, I

455
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:28.279
<v Speaker 3>was getting ready to tell you.

456
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:32.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why or how it became lame to

457
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:35.640
<v Speaker 2>like J Cole because you, I think speak for a

458
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of people that like just kind of think like

459
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.319
<v Speaker 2>he's corny or something. And yes, that's that's to me.

460
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:47.599
<v Speaker 2>That's totally like an individual opinion, right, Like, sure, you

461
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:49.119
<v Speaker 2>know what I think is corny. Other people might not

462
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:51.640
<v Speaker 2>thinks Corney so like, but I know that. I mean,

463
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:54.039
<v Speaker 2>clearly he's popular enough to where he's super successful. But

464
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:58.160
<v Speaker 2>like when J Cole mixtape J Cole emerged, Yes, I

465
00:20:58.160 --> 00:20:58.759
<v Speaker 2>mean he was.

466
00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:02.039
<v Speaker 3>He was unbelievable.

467
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:04.720
<v Speaker 2>He was like when I remember discovering him, not like me,

468
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:08.079
<v Speaker 2>but like, well I did. But when I when I

469
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:10.759
<v Speaker 2>found out who he was, not like I made him

470
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:12.680
<v Speaker 2>famous or anything. I think. I think everybody know what

471
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I meant, but the way it came out, I'm like,

472
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:15.400
<v Speaker 2>wait a second, I don't want to want to want

473
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:17.039
<v Speaker 2>to want to make people. I don't want to give

474
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:18.680
<v Speaker 2>anybody the chance to say that I'm acting like I

475
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:20.799
<v Speaker 2>had anything to do with this guy becoming a really

476
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:23.839
<v Speaker 2>really big deal. But like the wounded him the warm

477
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:27.079
<v Speaker 2>up in two thousand and nine, Yes, I mean, I

478
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:29.519
<v Speaker 2>feel like he was, in my opinion, a guy that

479
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:36.440
<v Speaker 2>was on the trajectory to be like legendary hip hop status.

480
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Like I mean, he did, in fact get the he

481
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:40.240
<v Speaker 2>got his first co sign that made him a big

482
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:44.319
<v Speaker 2>deal from jay Z, so like I you know, and

483
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:46.519
<v Speaker 2>he had a lot of really really good work like

484
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:48.079
<v Speaker 2>even so like from two thousand and nine to like

485
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:50.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty twelve, like I felt like he was my favorite

486
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.839
<v Speaker 2>artist at the time who was putting out new work. Now,

487
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:54.640
<v Speaker 2>he got a little in high school, he got a

488
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:56.640
<v Speaker 2>little too artsy for me in a while, you know,

489
00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:59.240
<v Speaker 2>like the production and all that. But you know, like

490
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:01.400
<v Speaker 2>I think he's super talented. And then at some point

491
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:03.119
<v Speaker 2>I remember kind of being you know, checked out on

492
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:05.480
<v Speaker 2>what's new and what not in hip hop and then

493
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:08.039
<v Speaker 2>I realized, like, okay, well, like everybody thinks he's corny,

494
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:08.799
<v Speaker 2>and like.

495
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:12.680
<v Speaker 3>He's is he relevant anymore? Like does he still make music?

496
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:15.680
<v Speaker 4>Not really, he's just he's he's I would, I would

497
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:17.680
<v Speaker 4>agree with your sentiment. I loved him, like I said,

498
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:20.400
<v Speaker 4>the warm up the Friday Night Lights mixtape, like he was.

499
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:21.680
<v Speaker 3>He was fireback then.

500
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.480
<v Speaker 4>It was very influential to me when I was in

501
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:26.880
<v Speaker 4>high school, and I love some of his beats. A

502
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:30.039
<v Speaker 4>blow up was always great, and I even born center.

503
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:32.400
<v Speaker 4>What this one's from was a pretty good bord Center

504
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:32.680
<v Speaker 4>was good.

505
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

506
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:35.240
<v Speaker 4>And then after that, you're right, it became artsy, it

507
00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:38.480
<v Speaker 4>became till's dry was not good. Yeah, where he's sitting

508
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:40.559
<v Speaker 4>on the house like I never and then he had

509
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:42.240
<v Speaker 4>the he had the thing where he was wasn't he

510
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.599
<v Speaker 4>playing for like not d League, but like playing overseas basketball?

511
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:47.559
<v Speaker 3>And it's weird.

512
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:49.359
<v Speaker 4>I did tell you what what made me like him

513
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:52.079
<v Speaker 4>is at the height of uh at, at the height

514
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:54.640
<v Speaker 4>of hating John Calipari, he says on.

515
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:56.759
<v Speaker 3>A uhh yeah, yeah, I remember, he said.

516
00:22:56.759 --> 00:22:59.640
<v Speaker 4>He says, your old man acts like a blank like

517
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.200
<v Speaker 4>Tyler Perry. You caught him down in Memphis cheating like

518
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:03.960
<v Speaker 4>cal Erry.

519
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:05.839
<v Speaker 3>It was like right as soon as Cow got to

520
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:06.720
<v Speaker 3>it was.

521
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Like, yeah, so he had a like he'll his projects late.

522
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:16.519
<v Speaker 2>Just really, you know, I thought Forrest Hill's drive was

523
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:19.079
<v Speaker 2>was was okay, but it was when it started to

524
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:21.359
<v Speaker 2>go in that direction where just wasn't quite my taste

525
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:23.319
<v Speaker 2>and then for your Eyes Only was weight like it

526
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:25.440
<v Speaker 2>just it was almost like a all right, like he

527
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:28.200
<v Speaker 2>tried to mix both like being his old self but

528
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:30.799
<v Speaker 2>also like yeah, we having way too much like DJ

529
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Khalid involved and all that, and it was just I

530
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:34.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know, but yeah he was.

531
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:36.400
<v Speaker 4>He did the weird thing where he got involved with

532
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:38.640
<v Speaker 4>the Drake and Kendrick beef and then just like backed

533
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:40.680
<v Speaker 4>out and then like that made him look a little

534
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:42.799
<v Speaker 4>bit corny or two. But I don't know, the weird

535
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:45.039
<v Speaker 4>the weird clothing. He tried to go like a Kanye

536
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:49.279
<v Speaker 4>West route, looking like a two indie rapper and like

537
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:51.079
<v Speaker 4>the uh, it's I don't know it just.

538
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:54.640
<v Speaker 2>You do you remember the song Grew Up Fast that

539
00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:57.960
<v Speaker 2>he did in twenty twelve. It was on the Friday

540
00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Night Lights album. Well let Me See I feel like

541
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:03.160
<v Speaker 2>this is one of those songs that became bigger after

542
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:05.319
<v Speaker 2>like it was already out for a little while, but

543
00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:07.039
<v Speaker 2>you can't play it on the air, and I don't

544
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:09.240
<v Speaker 2>think if they even edited it would sound because but

545
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:13.079
<v Speaker 2>but like that, to me, listen, listen to grow up

546
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:14.960
<v Speaker 2>fast during the break, or at least reference it to

547
00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:16.839
<v Speaker 2>Seef you remember it, because to me that that is

548
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:20.279
<v Speaker 2>like the best example of like when he's good, I

549
00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:22.960
<v Speaker 2>thought he was legendary and then you know, just honestly

550
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:24.319
<v Speaker 2>what it comes down to, and this is really a

551
00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:27.119
<v Speaker 2>lot of things in entertainment, whether you're a musician, whether

552
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:31.480
<v Speaker 2>you're a actor, Like in a way, actor is probably

553
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:33.559
<v Speaker 2>not the best way because you're playing different roles when

554
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.319
<v Speaker 2>you're on different jobs. But like he didn't have a

555
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:37.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of charisma, you know what I mean? Yeah, like

556
00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:40.720
<v Speaker 2>his music at Tom spoke for itself, but really that's

557
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:42.559
<v Speaker 2>all it was. Like he just didn't really command a

558
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:43.880
<v Speaker 2>lot of Like he didn't have a lot, he didn't

559
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:45.640
<v Speaker 2>command a lot of good way to put it, Yeah,

560
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.880
<v Speaker 2>like wrestlers, like if you don't have that that factor

561
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.039
<v Speaker 2>like where you were captivating in one way or the other, charisma,

562
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:54.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, charismatic, like especially if you're going to be

563
00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:56.799
<v Speaker 2>somebody that people like like that. That's a huge part

564
00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:59.519
<v Speaker 2>of it. And I think, look, music's great, none that

565
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:02.200
<v Speaker 2>really mad. But I think in hip hop, especially the

566
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:05.440
<v Speaker 2>more everything became online where you're visible all the time,

567
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:07.720
<v Speaker 2>like everybody knows what you look like, your appearents, like,

568
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:09.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, you need to be you need to be

569
00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:12.759
<v Speaker 2>active and appealing in that in that space, so you'll

570
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:14.279
<v Speaker 2>get easily forgotten.

571
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:14.559
<v Speaker 3>And left behind.

572
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.039
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I've always been a big J Cole fan,

573
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:18.960
<v Speaker 2>especially early on, and then I kind of like, honestly,

574
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:19.880
<v Speaker 2>I forget about him now.

575
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly, Man.

576
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:23.359
<v Speaker 2>He had that that that the music you mentioned probably

577
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:25.480
<v Speaker 2>when you were in high school, to be honest with you,

578
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:26.640
<v Speaker 2>or right after high school.

579
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:28.920
<v Speaker 3>That was when I was like, he was all I

580
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:31.440
<v Speaker 3>listened to in the gym. Yeah, oh it was baller music.

581
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:34.200
<v Speaker 2>It was motivation, like yeah, baller like it was, and

582
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:36.640
<v Speaker 2>it was you know, it was it was somewhat of

583
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:41.079
<v Speaker 2>a I don't know, like it wasn't ninety nine percent

584
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:44.319
<v Speaker 2>context about things that like I would clearly know nothing

585
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:45.359
<v Speaker 2>about and not relate to.

586
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:45.839
<v Speaker 3>Right.

587
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:47.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And there's a lot of great hip hop that

588
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:50.359
<v Speaker 2>a lot of us listen to over the years, rap

589
00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:52.440
<v Speaker 2>that like we know they're talking about stuff that is

590
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:55.960
<v Speaker 2>in like, heck, I listened to I mean I'm trying

591
00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:00.440
<v Speaker 2>to think of like, like what is it Yogotti? Like

592
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:02.799
<v Speaker 2>I would listen to Yogati and and and start for

593
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:05.079
<v Speaker 2>a second thinking I'm a different person now, like I

594
00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:07.839
<v Speaker 2>might actually hit the street, you know what I'm saying, Like,

595
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:10.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's there's clearly you could appreciate the art

596
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:14.559
<v Speaker 2>form of music if the substance and the content that

597
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:17.079
<v Speaker 2>they're speaking of is clearly not you know, not your life.

598
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:20.359
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, I mean I lived on a Yeah, shout

599
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:22.359
<v Speaker 4>out to Jaco. Yeah, I'll get Jake holes flowers. But

600
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:24.559
<v Speaker 4>that was me, dude. I grew up on a military

601
00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:28.759
<v Speaker 4>base in Tucson, Arizona, the most the most protected lifestyle

602
00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:31.119
<v Speaker 4>you can think of. You leave your wallet somewhere, someone

603
00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:33.680
<v Speaker 4>will return it with money in it, probably, but I would.

604
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.599
<v Speaker 4>I was listening to three six Mafia and like Project

605
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:39.720
<v Speaker 4>Pat riding on the bus leaving base acting like that

606
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:40.480
<v Speaker 4>I was tough.

607
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:43.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, whenever you're young, here's the thing.

608
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:45.559
<v Speaker 2>When you're young like that, you don't really know who

609
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:47.519
<v Speaker 2>you are, so you're kind of trying to find yourself.

610
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:49.200
<v Speaker 3>So whenever you just you get.

611
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:51.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how many people listening now or how many

612
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.839
<v Speaker 2>people do you know that in a certain era of

613
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:57.039
<v Speaker 2>their life they were like four different people, not necessarily

614
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:00.279
<v Speaker 2>as human beings, but like they were trying to find themselves, right,

615
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Like that's just part of being a young person in

616
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:05.319
<v Speaker 2>your teens and even in your early adult years.

617
00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:07.240
<v Speaker 3>And uh, you know, I think a lot of me.

618
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:07.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure that.

619
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that's not something people like can like think

620
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:12.200
<v Speaker 2>about often. But if you give it some thought, I

621
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:14.039
<v Speaker 2>bet you know there's a stretch where you're kind of

622
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:16.720
<v Speaker 2>just trying to find yourself and then you know, life

623
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:19.279
<v Speaker 2>goes on, you find your niche, and then you wake

624
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:21.599
<v Speaker 2>up and you're thirty seven with two kids, and like,

625
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:24.279
<v Speaker 2>you don't really like that's life now. It's taking care

626
00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:26.880
<v Speaker 2>of two humans that you you know you love unconditionally,

627
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:29.680
<v Speaker 2>and you don't really know what unconditional love means until

628
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:32.559
<v Speaker 2>you have children. So this is the Doctor Phil Show

629
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:33.680
<v Speaker 2>today on Coffee and Company.

630
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:36.880
<v Speaker 4>But if you need to fall back into what it's

631
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:39.640
<v Speaker 4>like to be in the trap and slaying them, slaying

632
00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:42.480
<v Speaker 4>that dope, you can always listen to some music and kind.

633
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:44.039
<v Speaker 3>Of feel feel that way. Yeah, it's like an escape.

634
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah exactly. Yeah, good stuff.

635
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.799
<v Speaker 4>You can go be uh Andre three thousand for a

636
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:49.319
<v Speaker 4>few minutes.

637
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:50.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I forgot about it.

638
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:56.799
<v Speaker 2>Out Cast super legendary, certainly well respected, never really caught on,

639
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.440
<v Speaker 2>never really caught the wave, Andred three thousand bucks self

640
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:02.720
<v Speaker 2>with bars is just one of the best things you'll

641
00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:05.720
<v Speaker 2>ever hear. But like Outcast, like I'm sorry, Miss Jackson

642
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:09.319
<v Speaker 2>was great. Like again, I didn't dislike. I'll put it

643
00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:11.559
<v Speaker 2>this way, They're like the Ora Clark to me, right,

644
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:14.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying they're not good, but I just you know,

645
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:17.119
<v Speaker 2>I never really caught and this is a this is

646
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:19.920
<v Speaker 2>a disorder that I have, and this is this is gosh.

647
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:22.119
<v Speaker 2>I guess music and really a lot of things in life.

648
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I guess if I can't match the majority of the

649
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:30.839
<v Speaker 2>fans and their obsession and love, then I just kind

650
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:32.519
<v Speaker 2>of feel left out.

651
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:35.079
<v Speaker 3>Therefore, I kind of don't gravitate towards it.

652
00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Let me get an example the same way as I like,

653
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:39.519
<v Speaker 2>let me give an example like Zach Bryan.

654
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:41.039
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

655
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:46.200
<v Speaker 2>I think he's he's good, but I can't I can't

656
00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:48.440
<v Speaker 2>relate or get to the cult following of it to

657
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:50.720
<v Speaker 2>where like I'm just kind of I feel unwelcome, Like

658
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:52.960
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I don't belong because same, I think

659
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:55.039
<v Speaker 2>the dude's fine, and there's a lot of artists that

660
00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:57.200
<v Speaker 2>are like that with me, like that, I that I

661
00:28:57.559 --> 00:28:59.960
<v Speaker 2>it's also well, I was gonna say it's kind of

662
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:02.079
<v Speaker 2>like that with bourbon, but I would be a liar

663
00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:04.680
<v Speaker 2>even to say that I like bourbon. I don't dislike it,

664
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:09.559
<v Speaker 2>but because I can't like do a tasting and tell you, oh,

665
00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:13.279
<v Speaker 2>this one's definitely eight barrel and this one yeah they

666
00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:17.440
<v Speaker 2>they this was they put this yeah yeah, yeah, Like

667
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I just you know, I feel like I feel left out.

668
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:23.680
<v Speaker 2>This is all right real quick before we get to

669
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:26.559
<v Speaker 2>our next break. NFL Draft combine going on right now

670
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:30.680
<v Speaker 2>in Indianapolis. The four Louisville players there, Tyler Shuck, Ashton Jealotti,

671
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Yah yah, I'm sorry, yeah, yeah, he's already the NFL

672
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Ashton Jealotti, Quincy Riley, and.

673
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:38.519
<v Speaker 3>Who's the fourth? Why can I not think of it?

674
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

675
00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:43.200
<v Speaker 3>Uh? The receiver who transferred from Alabama, what is his name, Brooks?

676
00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:44.599
<v Speaker 3>Yes to Corey Brooks.

677
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:46.480
<v Speaker 2>So I think all those guys are going to get

678
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:50.240
<v Speaker 2>drafted obviously. Tyler Shuck though has been the biggest talking

679
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:52.279
<v Speaker 2>point in the love fest continues. I mean, you've got

680
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:57.839
<v Speaker 2>lou Ridick, even mcshae, now who who are in the

681
00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:59.680
<v Speaker 2>or in the film room talking about how that they

682
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:02.839
<v Speaker 2>don't there's three better quarterbacks than Tyler Shuck in this draft.

683
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:05.160
<v Speaker 2>So he's at the combine today, he's gonna throw. He

684
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:08.039
<v Speaker 2>got a little love because he went on Twitter and

685
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:11.279
<v Speaker 2>just like wanted people to somebody was praising him. It

686
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:14.359
<v Speaker 2>might have been Riddick who was praising him like last

687
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:16.880
<v Speaker 2>week or the week before and said something about I'm

688
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:18.160
<v Speaker 2>not sure if we're going to get see him throw

689
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:20.279
<v Speaker 2>out the combine, but I'm telling you guys, go watch him,

690
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:22.799
<v Speaker 2>look at his arm something along those lines, and Shuck

691
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:25.079
<v Speaker 2>just like he didn't even tweet at Tyler Shuck, but

692
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Shuck saw the tweets, shared it and said I'm going

693
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:31.319
<v Speaker 2>ready to compete doing everything, like basically saying I got

694
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:35.200
<v Speaker 2>nothing to hide, let's ball out. So I really hope

695
00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:37.799
<v Speaker 2>that this turns into like one of the storylines of

696
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:40.160
<v Speaker 2>the NFL to where or the NFL drafters should say

697
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:42.440
<v Speaker 2>or this shuck kit from Louisville, like here we go.

698
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:44.880
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot to like and he really only by

699
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:47.200
<v Speaker 2>the way, he really only has one year of film

700
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:51.519
<v Speaker 2>that you can look at and you know, get a

701
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:53.119
<v Speaker 2>feel for what he would do in the NFL, because

702
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:55.920
<v Speaker 2>he never was healthy in any of his other stops.

703
00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:58.720
<v Speaker 2>And also he wasn't utilized in a way like he

704
00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:00.640
<v Speaker 2>would in the NFL, and he wasn't the way Jeff

705
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.279
<v Speaker 2>Brom utilized him he at Louisville. So I haven't heard

706
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:05.599
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot of feedback just yet, but I think

707
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:07.559
<v Speaker 2>all those guys will get drafted, and if I had

708
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:10.039
<v Speaker 2>to tell you the order in which they'll go, I

709
00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:13.839
<v Speaker 2>think it'll be. I still think Gilatt's got a chance

710
00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:17.200
<v Speaker 2>to go top three rounds, just because I don't know

711
00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:19.200
<v Speaker 2>what there's not to like about him. And yeah, at

712
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:23.960
<v Speaker 2>times it would feel like he was not necessarily as active.

713
00:31:24.200 --> 00:31:25.839
<v Speaker 2>Like I don't feel like there were bad games for him,

714
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:27.480
<v Speaker 2>but there were games where he just simply didn't have

715
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:29.519
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot of involvement. But I feel like for

716
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:31.519
<v Speaker 2>two straight years this guy was double and triple teamed.

717
00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:33.720
<v Speaker 2>So I think he could show out in the NFL

718
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:36.119
<v Speaker 2>to where maybe he would have, you know, like, I

719
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:37.799
<v Speaker 2>think they're going to see what the guy can do

720
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:39.000
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, his numbers are great. He's an

721
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:41.480
<v Speaker 2>All American caliber player was for two years, so it's

722
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:43.559
<v Speaker 2>not like he didn't show.

723
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:43.559
<v Speaker 3>It in college.

724
00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:45.319
<v Speaker 2>But I think you look at his resume and I

725
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:47.359
<v Speaker 2>think the things they really look for and a guy

726
00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:50.079
<v Speaker 2>like him at the NFL draft combine, I feel like

727
00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:52.160
<v Speaker 2>he's still got a chance to be taken pretty high.

728
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:54.039
<v Speaker 2>And then after that, I kind of feel like it'll

729
00:31:54.079 --> 00:32:00.000
<v Speaker 2>be shock and then from there, I think Riley and Brooks,

730
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:04.000
<v Speaker 2>it's anybody's guess which goes first. Although Riley has been

731
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:07.640
<v Speaker 2>looked at and viewed as a guy who who you know,

732
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:11.960
<v Speaker 2>has been talked about as an NFL prospect for a while. However,

733
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:15.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't want to say he had a

734
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:18.079
<v Speaker 2>bad year. He didn't, but it's hard to know. Like

735
00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:20.119
<v Speaker 2>his draft buzz is kind of in a roller coaster.

736
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:21.960
<v Speaker 2>So he'll be drafted, I believe, but I don't really

737
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:23.640
<v Speaker 2>have a clue if it's going to be maybe fourth round,

738
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:24.480
<v Speaker 2>closer to sixth.

739
00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:26.400
<v Speaker 3>And then the same thing for Jacorey Brooks.

740
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:28.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's a really good receiver, really talented guy,

741
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:30.160
<v Speaker 2>but there's a lot of guys like.

742
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Him out there.

743
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Not to say you know he's he's average, but you know,

744
00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:35.279
<v Speaker 2>I think every year in the draft you're going to

745
00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:37.119
<v Speaker 2>see some receivers that are going to be guys taken

746
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:38.599
<v Speaker 2>in the first second round.

747
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:39.079
<v Speaker 3>He's not that.

748
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:42.559
<v Speaker 2>But from then on it's really a team really valuing

749
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:44.359
<v Speaker 2>what you can do and knowing that, Hey, we know

750
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:47.079
<v Speaker 2>we need a young receiver here, and you know this is.

751
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:47.640
<v Speaker 3>The guy we like.

752
00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:50.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break, we'll come back on the other side.

753
00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Keep this thing rolling along. It's coffee and Company, and

754

00:32:56.319 --> 00:33:00.279
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

<v Speaker 3>All right.

773
00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:44.920
<v Speaker 2>So so last night Kentucky got another quad one win,

774
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:51.599
<v Speaker 2>and I really believe that when it comes to their resume,

775
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they can do anything that would

776
00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:59.920
<v Speaker 2>keep them from getting anything worse than a four SEA.

777
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:06.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, even if they lose to LSU.

778
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:07.519
<v Speaker 2>At home, like that would be a bad loss for

779
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:10.519
<v Speaker 2>them all things considered, but like it would be a

780
00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:13.480
<v Speaker 2>bad loss for them, not really a you know. So

781
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:18.159
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing, LSU, Yeah, I don't mind that the

782
00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:19.880
<v Speaker 2>game's in Like sn I was gonna say, so, LSU

783
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:22.400
<v Speaker 2>is not in the top seventy five. If they were

784
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:24.440
<v Speaker 2>in the top thirty and it was a Kentucky home game,

785
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:26.280
<v Speaker 2>it would be a quad one. So like, yeah, that'd

786
00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:29.480
<v Speaker 2>be a bad loss, But a loss to Auburn at

787
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:31.760
<v Speaker 2>home this weekend not a bad loss at all.

788
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:32.119
<v Speaker 3>Help.

789
00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:34.320
<v Speaker 2>If they play well, they'll go up in the rank

790
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:37.920
<v Speaker 2>in the metrics, and Missouri is on the road. That's

791
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:42.480
<v Speaker 2>their finale, and Missouri is a top fifteen caliber team

792
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:45.559
<v Speaker 2>right now. So you lose that one, but it's close,

793
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:47.760
<v Speaker 2>it's probably not going to do anything. Like I don't

794
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:50.320
<v Speaker 2>think that they can get anything worse than a four

795
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:54.320
<v Speaker 2>C because there's no opportunities for bad losses other than LSU,

796
00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:55.440
<v Speaker 2>and I just don't think they're gonna do that. But

797
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:57.320
<v Speaker 2>even if they did, that would give them their only

798
00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:00.519
<v Speaker 2>bad loss of the season because right now, I mean,

799
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:05.400
<v Speaker 2>last I checked, everybody that has that has beat Kentucky

800
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.320
<v Speaker 2>is gonna be in the tournament other than maybe. I mean,

801
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Vandy got a huge win last night, certainly put themselves

802
00:35:11.159 --> 00:35:14.199
<v Speaker 2>more firmly in. Georgia beat Florida the other night. I

803
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.239
<v Speaker 2>guess they're still considered a bubble team, but they're probably

804
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:17.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna get in. And then Ohio State, I don't know,

805
00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:21.320
<v Speaker 2>like they're not having a great season, but like if

806
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:23.199
<v Speaker 2>you're in the big ten of the SEC, you can

807
00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:25.679
<v Speaker 2>have a losing record in your league and still be

808
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:26.199
<v Speaker 2>on the bubble.

809
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:30.800
<v Speaker 3>That's that's just the way it is. Are you now?

810
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:32.280
<v Speaker 3>I gotta look it up, Like I feel like Ohio

811
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:32.880
<v Speaker 3>State is.

812
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:34.920
<v Speaker 2>In, but I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, Maybe they're

813
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:37.760
<v Speaker 2>not in and we don't know until selection Sunday, But yeah,

814
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:41.719
<v Speaker 2>according to according to the bracket that was put out

815
00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:44.039
<v Speaker 2>earlier in the week by H.

816
00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:46.119
<v Speaker 3>Jerry Palm.

817
00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Unless I'm just blind, it doesn't look like doesn't look

818
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:52.880
<v Speaker 2>like they're here. So if you look at yeah, let's see,

819
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:55.679
<v Speaker 2>let's see now, now I'm just this is great radio here.

820
00:35:55.719 --> 00:35:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Just look. Yeah. So they're not currently in. But still

821
00:35:57.800 --> 00:35:59.079
<v Speaker 3>that's that's not a terrible loss.

822
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:00.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you lost by twenty it was a neutral site,

823
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:02.800
<v Speaker 2>but I mean that that's not They have way more

824
00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:05.639
<v Speaker 2>valuable wins to where it would really put a dit

825
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:07.639
<v Speaker 2>in the resume to where they would fall I and

826
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.079
<v Speaker 2>they're probably going to be getting I don't know how

827
00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:13.679
<v Speaker 2>the SEC will finish up because there's heck, there's three

828
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:15.760
<v Speaker 2>more games left for most teams, and even the teams

829
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:17.639
<v Speaker 2>with you know, some of the great teams are probably

830
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:19.599
<v Speaker 2>gonna play each other befortsall said and done, Like right

831
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:23.400
<v Speaker 2>now in SEC standings, Auburn's in first place by themselves,

832
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and it's not close. There's sixteen and they're fourteen and one,

833
00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:30.639
<v Speaker 2>and Alabama's twelve and three, and then Florida's eleven and four,

834
00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:37.480
<v Speaker 2>and then Tennessee and Missouri are twelve and six. Texas

835
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:39.880
<v Speaker 2>A and M in Kentucky are ten and eight, So

836
00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:43.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you d and I don't even know

837
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:45.480
<v Speaker 2>how the bracket plays out in the SEC, but they'll

838
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:47.440
<v Speaker 2>likely get at least one by, probably not going to

839
00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:48.920
<v Speaker 2>get a double by. In fact, I don't think that's

840
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:53.000
<v Speaker 2>even possible now with the way the league is currently looking.

841
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:58.000
<v Speaker 2>So even if they were to lose early in Nashville,

842
00:36:58.280 --> 00:36:59.239
<v Speaker 2>which that's got to be where the.

843
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:01.280
<v Speaker 3>SEC tournament is, right, it always is, So if they

844
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:02.480
<v Speaker 3>lose early there.

845
00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:07.320
<v Speaker 2>And they lost to Auburn, like if they lose to

846
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Auburn Missouri, which honestly some would say that's probably likely,

847
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:12.880
<v Speaker 2>and then they lose their first game in the SEC Tournament,

848
00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:14.840
<v Speaker 2>but it's against a team like Texas A and M

849
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:19.920
<v Speaker 2>or Missouri or even like Ole miss that's still not

850
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:22.800
<v Speaker 2>going to be a DT in their resume. So I

851
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:26.039
<v Speaker 2>really believe the only scenario that they could fall anything

852
00:37:26.199 --> 00:37:29.199
<v Speaker 2>further than a four would be if they lose out

853
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:31.239
<v Speaker 2>and of course one of those losses is a home

854
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:32.360
<v Speaker 2>lost LSU.

855
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:35.719
<v Speaker 3>Which is not going to happen. So yeah, they got

856
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:38.920
<v Speaker 3>a lot of losses there. I mean for them, they do.

857
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:42.519
<v Speaker 2>They're nineteen and nine, one game above five hundred now

858
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:46.519
<v Speaker 2>after beating Oklahoma last night. So you know, on the

859
00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:50.800
<v Speaker 2>overall record doesn't look great, but man, they have valuable

860
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:53.079
<v Speaker 2>wins and obviously they're playing in a great league, and

861
00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:56.239
<v Speaker 2>when their full strength, I think they've shown they can

862
00:37:56.280 --> 00:38:00.760
<v Speaker 2>beat just about anybody. But just because you know you

863
00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:03.000
<v Speaker 2>can do, I mean you will I still being this tournament.

864
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:05.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, the season has been great, by the way,

865
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:07.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know people are paying attention. Obviously locally teams

866
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:10.079
<v Speaker 2>are pretty happy with their teams around here, but the

867
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:13.800
<v Speaker 2>college basketball sport, like this year has been great as

868
00:38:13.800 --> 00:38:17.079
<v Speaker 2>far as games and really just being really competitive.

869
00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:17.800
<v Speaker 3>A lot of really good.

870
00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Teams out there, right, So what that's like, what I

871
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:21.599
<v Speaker 2>think what that's led to is we're actually really close

872
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:23.480
<v Speaker 2>to the end of the season, but yet everybody's so

873
00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:25.880
<v Speaker 2>caught up in how great the season's going to where

874
00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:29.119
<v Speaker 2>you haven't really thought about, like, you know, will it

875
00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:32.039
<v Speaker 2>will it carry over in March? Because I think we're

876
00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:34.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna have some real surprising results in the tournament this year.

877
00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:37.199
<v Speaker 2>I believe, I mean, we always do to an extent,

878
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:38.960
<v Speaker 2>but I kind of have a feeling it's gonna be wacky.

879
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:41.519
<v Speaker 3>All right. Let's take a time out.

880
00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:43.519
<v Speaker 2>We've got the five o'clock hour coming your way right

881
00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:46.760
<v Speaker 2>here on Sports Talk seven to ninety
