Speaker 1: Thank you, John.
Speaker 2: It is eight oh five here Kentucky and it's Morning
Speaker 2: News with Nick Coffee on news radio eight forty w
Speaker 2: h as not something you you see very often, and
Speaker 2: that is a senator being seemingly tackled to the ground.
Speaker 2: That makes it kind of feel I kind of feel
Speaker 2: like I'm exaggerating that, but it all that I think
Speaker 2: that's actually what happened. Maybe I'm hesitating and feeling like
Speaker 2: I'm exaggerating because it just doesn't seem real. But yesterday,
Speaker 2: uh that that's that's what we saw as the continued
Speaker 2: battle between Gavin Newsom and President Trump. Obviously, there's there
Speaker 2: was the the the ruling yesterday that blocked Trump from
Speaker 2: deploying the National Guard, basically giving control back to Gavin
Speaker 2: Newsom in California at the state level, and then that
Speaker 2: was a quickly over that was quickly overturned in the
Speaker 2: appeals court.
Speaker 1: So what a week it has been.
Speaker 2: When it comes to just not only what is going
Speaker 2: on in the actual streets in Los Angeles and other
Speaker 2: cities as well with these protests going on those that
Speaker 2: are very much against the immigration plan from from Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: but also just the fighting from leaders and again to
Speaker 2: see Alex Badia, the Senator of California, force to the ground,
Speaker 2: handcuffed as he's trying to question the Homeland Security Secretary.
Speaker 2: It's one of those things you just throw it in
Speaker 2: that bag of things that you know are real because
Speaker 2: you watched it.
Speaker 1: You know it's real because it's news. But it's just
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm new to news. I guess that in certain aspects.
Speaker 2: But I feel like that's this is still something that
Speaker 2: even a few years ago you wouldn't expect to see.
Speaker 1: But here we are, Yeah, here we are.
Speaker 3: It's nothing surprises me.
Speaker 4: It's after COVID, I think, is when it turned the
Speaker 4: corner for me, and because everything was pretty much status quo.
Speaker 4: We had our elections, we had well, maybe i'll take
Speaker 4: that back. Maybe nine to eleven was when things started
Speaker 4: to change, when I really said that was the first
Speaker 4: time I really noticed. In fact, my old office used
Speaker 4: to be right there on Shelby Street.
Speaker 3: Nine to eleven.
Speaker 4: I just remember seeing all the planes coming out of
Speaker 4: the air non stop. And that's when I thought, this
Speaker 4: is surreal, what's going on here? And then I thought
Speaker 4: we were over that. Then COVID had and now.
Speaker 3: We're at this point now, we were so politically just.
Speaker 4: Charged, yeah, charged divide, we don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it may this may sound like I'm
Speaker 2: sensationalizing it, but we have never been more divided exactly ever,
Speaker 2: and it's it's quite clear, and I don't really see
Speaker 2: that changing anytime soon, if I'm being honest with you,
Speaker 2: And the thought of that just being the new norm
Speaker 2: for the rest of my time here is not what
Speaker 2: I would want. But I'd be a liar if I
Speaker 2: said that I see light at the end of the
Speaker 2: tunnel to where you can you can clearly be on
Speaker 2: different sides of the aisle coexist together without so much
Speaker 2: tension and at times just nastiness. And that's that's what
Speaker 2: I mentioned a little bit earlier. This is probably not
Speaker 2: that rare. I'm sure it's happened, you know, from time
Speaker 2: to time for generations. But there's way more of being
Speaker 2: really loud about out what the others doing wrong than
Speaker 2: what you stand for and advocate for.
Speaker 1: Can you believe this guy?
Speaker 2: I mean, that's sort of what happened yesterday with the
Speaker 2: Senator in California.
Speaker 1: I mean, he let's not act.
Speaker 2: Like and he started with the if he would treat
Speaker 2: a senator like this, imagine how he would treat a
Speaker 2: farmer or And I'm paraphrasing here, and I'm thinking, well, also,
Speaker 2: I don't know if many other senators would typically have
Speaker 2: approached that situation the way that he did. But you know,
Speaker 2: you've got Newsom on social media this week just talking
Speaker 2: about how awful Trump is and how scary this situation is.
Speaker 2: And it's not surprising that he has those thoughts. But
Speaker 2: it's just look at this guy. Look over there, Look,
Speaker 2: look look at what they're doing. Can you believe this?
Speaker 2: Can you believe how they're acting? And again that's probably
Speaker 2: not new, that's politics, right, but man, it's just it's
Speaker 2: instead of really embracing and sticking mostly with just your views,
Speaker 2: your beliefs, your policies, your party, it's more so just
Speaker 2: fighting with the other publicly.
Speaker 3: And that's what I learned. That's what I learned over time.
Speaker 4: Believe me, there are things that will get me politically
Speaker 4: charged internally, but I've learned, especially through this business, a
Speaker 4: lot of them I keep to myself.
Speaker 3: I don't even mention around my family.
Speaker 2: Oh I've got I've got I've got beliefs, I've got thoughts,
Speaker 2: and I just I'm in a good place to where
Speaker 2: I realize there's really not there's not a chance of
Speaker 2: real productive conversation.
Speaker 1: I will keep that to myself. That's exactly right.
Speaker 3: Brother.
Speaker 2: All right, we've got traffic and weather coming your way.
Speaker 2: And also we're gonna chat with my friend Page of
Speaker 2: Thornton She's gonna stop in studio and hang out for
Speaker 2: a few looking forward to that. But next, your next
Speaker 2: update of trafficking weather is right here, right now on
Speaker 2: news radio eight forty whas. All right, it's eight fifteen
Speaker 2: here at Kentuckyate's Morning news on news Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2: Thank you for hanging out with us, and a big
Speaker 2: thanks to my friend Page of Thornton's who has joined
Speaker 2: us here in studio. Good morning, Page, how are you?
Speaker 5: Good morning? I'm great, Thanks for having us.
Speaker 2: I am happy to have you in studio. For those
Speaker 2: who know me from my previous I guess job in radio,
Speaker 2: I've been fueled by Thornton's for a long time. Big
Speaker 2: part of my brand. Hopefully I don't embarrass you guys
Speaker 2: sometimes with that, but I have a lot of fun
Speaker 2: with it, and I love Thornton's.
Speaker 1: It's become.
Speaker 2: Actually, the story I've told that really makes me realize
Speaker 2: that it's working. The people associate me with it is
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, I was at a Louisville
Speaker 2: football game and I ran into a fan who was
Speaker 2: with his daughter who'd mentioned that he listens to the show,
Speaker 2: and you know, just saying hey, and then he said, hey,
Speaker 2: I don't remember what his daughter's name was, but it's
Speaker 2: the Thornton's guy, because they'd listened to me in the
Speaker 2: mornings when they were going to work when I was
Speaker 2: doing morning shows.
Speaker 1: So it's working.
Speaker 2: People know and they associate me with Thornton's, which I
Speaker 2: hope again that's a benefit to you guys. But one
Speaker 2: thing that I like to emphasize about Thornton's because there's
Speaker 2: gas station convenience stores that are popping up everywhere. It
Speaker 2: seems as if when one is in a certain location,
Speaker 2: it won't take long for another one to pop up
Speaker 2: near it. But with you guys, Thornton's, you're everywhere. You're
Speaker 2: not just in the Kentuckian area. And I don't know
Speaker 2: if a lot of people know that, and really I
Speaker 2: guess it's not important, but there's still clearly a local connection.
Speaker 2: People think Thornton's they think more so local than some
Speaker 2: others that are around here. I mean that's got a
Speaker 2: benefit you guys that people feel like it's the local
Speaker 2: it's the local store.
Speaker 5: Yeah, correct, So we like to think of it as
Speaker 5: more of like your neighborhood store since we're from here
Speaker 5: and we've been here for quite some time, like we're
Speaker 5: your favorite local store.
Speaker 2: And the donuts is all anybody's been talking about when
Speaker 2: it comes to Thornton's here recently, it's Donut Month. I
Speaker 2: get up really early now and one it was last
Speaker 2: week I stopped in and it was very early. I
Speaker 2: mean I'm talking like middle of the night almost because
Speaker 2: that's now my new schedule. And the donuts were there
Speaker 2: that there were multiple trays, there were the glades, there
Speaker 2: was the colorful donuts, and you guys are really emphasizing
Speaker 2: that you've you've got the best donuts in town. I
Speaker 2: mean I say that, I'm not sure if other people
Speaker 2: believe it, but you guys are taking care of Father's
Speaker 2: for Father's Day weekend with donuts, right.
Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about that.
Speaker 5: Yes, So this being donut Month, we have this weekend
Speaker 5: Father's Day weekend. So if you're a Refreshing Rewards member,
Speaker 5: on Saturday, you can get a dozen donuts for twelve
Speaker 5: dollars and on Sunday you can get a half a
Speaker 5: dozen for six dollars.
Speaker 2: Hooked a up that it'd be a great way to
Speaker 2: celebrate Father's Day, right, Who doesn't love some donuts. So
Speaker 2: the Refreshman Awards membership, there's a lot of perks to that,
Speaker 2: many of them actually, But when it comes to saving
Speaker 2: money at the gas pump, unless you're driving an electric vehicle,
Speaker 2: you're gonna need to put fuel in your car. But
Speaker 2: there's once per week you can get twenty five cents
Speaker 2: off up to twenty five cents off per gallon. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's incentive enough for people to sign up to be
Speaker 2: a member. And that's got to be one of one
Speaker 2: of the many reasons why you guys have such a
Speaker 2: good strong membership to where people because once you pick
Speaker 2: where you're gonna go and it becomes your place, which
Speaker 2: you should pick Thornton's, it just becomes part of your routine.
Speaker 5: Correct, So be in that Refresher Rewards member. Every Wednesday,
Speaker 5: we send out our weekly fuel offer and it could
Speaker 5: could range anywhere from five cents up to twenty five cents.
Speaker 5: So we like to kind of play it up every
Speaker 5: week and surprise our guests with something different.
Speaker 4: What I told Nick was, I like some fresh fruit
Speaker 4: in the morning, but I come in so early the
Speaker 4: grocery store is not open.
Speaker 3: Well, guess who is.
Speaker 4: Or And and to your point, I've gotten to know
Speaker 4: the good folks. I got to the one on I
Speaker 4: was getting confused, Breckenridge, Taylors Joe Road, right off the
Speaker 4: Waterstin and I know the folks in there now. And
Speaker 4: in fact, one lady she calls me doctor every time
Speaker 4: I walk in because she thought I was a doctor
Speaker 4: when I walked in for whatever reason.
Speaker 3: So now it's a running joke and she goes, hey doctor.
Speaker 4: And when I stop on my way home, it's like,
Speaker 4: you get to know those folks. And to your point,
Speaker 4: it's nice if I'm going to the gym, I can stop.
Speaker 4: And your energy drinks the wall are just amazing. But
Speaker 4: the more important thing, and Nick knows this, we talked
Speaker 4: about it this weekend.
Speaker 1: Your stores are clean.
Speaker 3: They're clean. Not every gas station is clean in this town.
Speaker 4: That stands out and sure, and you're in your your
Speaker 4: food items are just it doesn't matter if I go
Speaker 4: to that Thornton's, the one on Hurstmorn Lane. Your stores
Speaker 4: are clean and the food items are accessible. You know,
Speaker 4: You're not just somebody's not grabbing your hot dog off
Speaker 4: the rollers and back. You can walk up, you can
Speaker 4: prepare your own food.
Speaker 3: It's laid out nice, even for coffee. It's great. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you do. I smell them every time.
Speaker 2: I man, every time I end up at a Thornton's,
Speaker 2: I end up seeing a menu item that I did
Speaker 2: not know existed. I mean, I know the pizza has
Speaker 2: been there, and the different wings that you guys have,
Speaker 2: but now you've got I mean, I took a picture
Speaker 2: this morning when I stopped in Mango hobb and arrow
Speaker 2: boneless wings, the barbacue chicken pizza, pizza slices and cheesy
Speaker 2: bread with the mari and Aara sauce. That's clearly become
Speaker 2: a big thing in the industry as to serving high
Speaker 2: quality food and and you guys are certainly doing it.
Speaker 2: But I'm just curious, how does it, like, how do
Speaker 2: the new items come together. I'm sure you guys have
Speaker 2: a team that that works on that specifically, but tell
Speaker 2: them they're doing a good job for me.
Speaker 5: Okay, yes, So our innovation team has been done a
Speaker 5: great job with coming up with new and creative ways
Speaker 5: of you know, with the food the donuts. So even
Speaker 5: this fall we're gonna have some new flavored donuts. So
Speaker 5: right now, our summer one is the wild berry donut.
Speaker 5: This summer, of course, everyone or this fall everyone loves pumpkin.
Speaker 3: Yes, of course.
Speaker 4: So let me ask you and Nick Knight have presented
Speaker 4: this to me. Our industry is very, very competitive, and
Speaker 4: and we.
Speaker 1: See it seemed like getting more competitive, like by the
Speaker 1: day it is.
Speaker 4: And so how important is you is it to Thornton's
Speaker 4: that you stay on top of it? And if a
Speaker 4: customer comes into a Thorntons and says, hey, listen, I
Speaker 4: want to see I want a blueberry donut, you know
Speaker 4: they can reach out to you guys and address these right.
Speaker 5: We have a fantastic guest services team that takes calls
Speaker 5: emails and then we send those over to the food team,
Speaker 5: and between food team and marketing and operations, we all
Speaker 5: do a fantastic job.
Speaker 3: Because you don't ever think about that.
Speaker 4: You know you're in there and you go I wish
Speaker 4: you guys had this, or we don't give enough praise.
Speaker 3: I don't think.
Speaker 4: And I've thought about picking up the phone a couple
Speaker 4: of times and saying, hey, thank you for offering it,
Speaker 4: because I walked into Thornton's one time and the guy goes, oh, man,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, we don't.
Speaker 3: Have nance data shipment didn't come in, which happens, and.
Speaker 1: That's okay, that's part of it, but it was.
Speaker 4: But you know, I wanted to reach out to Thorntons
Speaker 4: and say, hey, I just appreciate you being open and
Speaker 4: being there for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so my kids they now they now
Speaker 2: call it Thornton's. It used to just be the Icy Store,
Speaker 2: so my kids and I didn't realize I was probably
Speaker 2: making myself sound like a really bad dad because they're nutritious.
Speaker 2: Breakfast for a long time, not every day, but often
Speaker 2: was either a donut, actually sometimes a donut and a
Speaker 2: Fizz Freeze Slushyet so I'm working, I'm working on the
Speaker 2: branding of it. They used told just call it icy
Speaker 2: at the Icy Store. Now they know it's Thornton's, and
Speaker 2: now they know it's called fizz Freeze and.
Speaker 1: They enjoy it.
Speaker 2: But that's one of the it's part of the frequency Club,
Speaker 2: which for those who don't know what that is, there's
Speaker 2: certain items that if you search you purchase them a
Speaker 2: certain amount of times it's free. So when you put
Speaker 2: your phone number in and I guess maybe some people
Speaker 2: could keep count, but it's like a game with me,
Speaker 2: like I know eventually I'm going to get a free one.
Speaker 2: I think it's after like the eighth or ninth, and
Speaker 2: you know, it's like it's like a win when you're
Speaker 2: checking out, And I know, I don't think all locations
Speaker 2: have it just yet, but the self checkout is an
Speaker 2: absolute game changer. I don't I now if I ever
Speaker 2: end up elsewhere and there's not a self checkout, it
Speaker 2: just seems like, what the heck are they doing? They're
Speaker 2: way behind the times, because you can literally, even with
Speaker 2: a store that has a good amount of people in it,
Speaker 2: especially before work, after work and whatnot, you can get
Speaker 2: in there, grab what you want, and potentially be out
Speaker 2: in ninety seconds. Like that's not an exaggeration, it's it's
Speaker 2: that convenient. That quick are those I mean that is
Speaker 2: that just the newer ones that have those.
Speaker 5: Mostly we're starting to get those in all the applications.
Speaker 1: Because you've got it. You got I'm sure people.
Speaker 2: I'm sure people feel like if they didn't have it
Speaker 2: and then it's implemented, they realize this is great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we want to get you in and out the door.
Speaker 5: We want we want to get you in and we
Speaker 5: want to talk to you because you're our guest in
Speaker 5: our store. But we also want to get you out
Speaker 5: because we know that you're on the go and you
Speaker 5: have places that you need to be and things you
Speaker 5: need to be doing.
Speaker 1: So yeah, good stuff.
Speaker 2: So real quick, tell us once again about the Father's
Speaker 2: Day donut deal, just so folks can can be aware
Speaker 2: of how they need to hook dad up with Thornton's
Speaker 2: for Father's Day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so every day for the rest of this month
Speaker 5: in June it's Donut Month Thornton's Donut Month, and this
Speaker 5: weekend Father's Day. So tomorrow twelve dollars for a dozen,
Speaker 5: and Sunday is six dollars for a half dozen.
Speaker 2: Can't beat it page. Thank you for stopping by. Always
Speaker 2: good to check with you, and we will talk soon.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get an update of traffic and weather
Speaker 2: and we'll also get another update on News coming away
Speaker 2: with John Shannon in about six minutes right here on
Speaker 2: Kentucky This Morning News news Radio eight forty whas all
Speaker 2: right eight forty five here at Kentucky, and it's Morning
Speaker 2: News with Nick Coffee on News Radio eight forty whas
Speaker 2: the one and only Tony VINEEDDI is with us as
Speaker 2: Tony and Dwider are set to take over here at
Speaker 2: about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you why this world series feels different than
Speaker 6: the others, and tell me about an analogy.
Speaker 1: Can I guess? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Go ahead.
Speaker 1: They have a little bit more house money here.
Speaker 2: We weren't. They didn't have momentum going into this one
Speaker 2: to where it kind of feels like, well, it's been
Speaker 2: a long time since we've been here, and we really
Speaker 2: didn't think we were going to be here maybe two
Speaker 2: weeks ago.
Speaker 1: So let's just play loose. Is that it ding d
Speaker 1: ding ding?
Speaker 6: But I will give you I'll give you an analogy
Speaker 6: of why it feels like from the fan standpoint too. Right,
Speaker 6: there's a lot of people traveling up there. The fans
Speaker 6: are like, this is awesome. Why Because I covered the
Speaker 6: Orange Bowl with the team U of L. It's the
Speaker 6: biggest bowl we've ever been into or UFL has been into.
Speaker 6: And they had a feeling. I was there twelve days
Speaker 6: in Miami with a team.
Speaker 1: How'd you pull that off?
Speaker 3: They told me.
Speaker 6: They were like, hey, you're traveling with a team. I
Speaker 6: was like, okay, we checked into the trump going in it.
Speaker 1: Being able to go at all would be a gift.
Speaker 1: You were there twelve days. Twelve days. Trust me. My
Speaker 1: wife with two small children, was so happy. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: I remember when I went to Miami for a football game.
Speaker 2: I was going two days and I was like, Honey.
Speaker 1: I gotta work.
Speaker 2: I know it's Miami, you know, It's just so Boss
Speaker 2: is really on me about it.
Speaker 6: So there was that feeling. Orange Bowl. This was the
Speaker 6: biggest ever. The team was like a pro team. Everybody
Speaker 6: on that offense played in the NFL. It was just
Speaker 6: it was a machine, right. And then crack Door comes in.
Speaker 6: The program goes down. We don't go to ball bowl games.
Speaker 6: Charlie Strong comes in. We go to the beef Old
Speaker 6: Brady's Bowl in Tampa and play in a crappy baseball team.
Speaker 1: They call it the Soubrett.
Speaker 6: What do they call it? The soprerou The stadium we
Speaker 6: played in was just it's it's now tore down. Absolutely
Speaker 6: it should have been so and we're playing Southern Miss, right, So,
Speaker 6: but the feeling after the game and with the players
Speaker 6: were crying, Jeche was hugging Charlie Strong and and there
Speaker 6: was emotion and you're like.
Speaker 1: Fans were losing their minds.
Speaker 6: We we were losing our minds, and it was like
Speaker 6: that we just won the Beef O. Brady's Bowl against
Speaker 6: Southern Miss. Why did that mean more emotionally than the
Speaker 6: Orange Bowl? Because you you get to that point and
Speaker 6: then you're not supposed to be there and we didn't
Speaker 6: go for a couple of years. It feels like that
Speaker 6: with the baseball team, that we didn't go for a
Speaker 6: couple of years and the program looked like it was
Speaker 6: what it was, that's exactly right, and then all of
Speaker 6: a sudden, sudden, the Bad News Bears bust through the
Speaker 6: Regional super Regional and get to the World Series. And
Speaker 6: that's why it feels different for fans.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I think you're spot on. I think not
Speaker 2: the same exact comparison. But when Louisville made the Final
Speaker 2: four in twenty twelve, that was unique and one of
Speaker 2: the funnest tournament rides, because if you remember, Rick didn't
Speaker 2: even let the seniors talk on Senior Day, they got
Speaker 2: beat by something.
Speaker 1: We got I was there, Yeah, we got run out
Speaker 1: of the room. And then they went to South.
Speaker 2: Floorida, and then they went up to Syracuse, got busted,
Speaker 2: and they went into the Big East Tournament. No momentum,
Speaker 2: real talk for the first time about Rick is he
Speaker 2: going to be the guy moving forward because he's slipping
Speaker 2: and Col's killing it.
Speaker 1: And then they get hot.
Speaker 2: They end up winning the Big East Tournament, make it
Speaker 2: all the way to the final four, and you never
Speaker 2: want to lose to Kentucky at any point if you're
Speaker 2: a Louisville fan. But this is the one time I
Speaker 2: can think of where it truly had a hard time,
Speaker 2: not just realizing I'm happy we're here and we competed.
Speaker 1: We weren't supposed to be here.
Speaker 2: And know by the way that Kentucky team with Anthony Davis,
Speaker 2: nobody's beating them. We had no business peace because we
Speaker 2: were unexpected runs and unexpected success with your team is
Speaker 2: some of the it's it's one of the best feelings
Speaker 2: you have as a fan.
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, like Kentucky's felt it too, sure.
Speaker 6: I mean where they've been away for a while and
Speaker 6: then they come back and there they're overjoyed.
Speaker 2: Their comparison, I think because Cal always had success. He
Speaker 2: just flamed in the tournament. But they were brought back
Speaker 2: to life by a coach who embraced them and was
Speaker 2: one of them, and Mark Pope, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So where that like they they started to Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: It's kind of nice.
Speaker 2: Whenever it's about the programs and about the history and
Speaker 2: about the fans and not just Cali Perry and and
Speaker 2: you know it. It's that you don't really know what
Speaker 2: you missed until it comes back and you're like, oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, this is awesome.
Speaker 3: No joke.
Speaker 2: Lowell basketball will never be as bad as they were
Speaker 2: under Kenny Payne. So last year we were brought back
Speaker 2: to life when we were dead and I remember we
Speaker 2: covered against Morehead State and the opener.
Speaker 6: Great to be a game where I isn't that isn't that?
Speaker 6: Expectations is everything and that's a lot. That's a lot
Speaker 6: in life. How good are you as a husband? Well,
Speaker 6: ask the expectations of the wife answers that question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you what, the Louisville basketball situation still
Speaker 2: doesn't seem real.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: I'm glad, and I'm only thinking about it because of
Speaker 2: what we just discussed. But also, Kenny Paine's gonna be
Speaker 2: on the bench when Louisville goes to Fayetteville next year
Speaker 2: in the acc SEC Challenge, and that'll be a storyline.
Speaker 2: But because Pat Kelsey had some success, really big success
Speaker 2: comparatively speaking, in year one, thankfully for Kenny, not that
Speaker 2: he would care. Nobody was sitting around thinking about him
Speaker 2: last year because we were just intoxicated with the fact
Speaker 2: that we were alive again.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I also think, as the old sportscaster guy,
Speaker 6: it will never get back to the Rick walking out
Speaker 6: at Freedham Hall with the white suit playing number five
Speaker 6: Georgetown and they all had those we had those lights,
Speaker 6: or the fans had the lights, and the unbelievable Georgetown
Speaker 6: had the number one big man in the country and.
Speaker 1: It was Roy Hibbert.
Speaker 6: It was crazy and the atmosphere was I don't ever
Speaker 6: think they're going to have twenty two thousand people consistently
Speaker 6: at the Yeoman.
Speaker 2: I agree, and I think at times it's really not
Speaker 2: a specific like there's not one specific thing that is
Speaker 2: the factor.
Speaker 1: There's a variety of it.
Speaker 2: I think time, like I think now, the new way
Speaker 2: to be a big name in coaching is to not
Speaker 2: be the larger than life, egotistical, unrelatable person like Patino
Speaker 2: and Calipari. It's to be relatable and and and you know,
Speaker 2: like one of one of the people. I mean that
Speaker 2: that's working for Pat Kelsey so far. Now again, when
Speaker 2: you don't win, those things don't work, it becomes it
Speaker 2: becomes weaponized against you. I always give you this example.
Speaker 2: People love Chris Mack when he was at Roosters having
Speaker 2: a having a miller like, oh, he gets the same
Speaker 2: wing sauce that I get.
