3
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:29.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, welcome back in here our number three of

4
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:33.200
<v Speaker 2>our Election day edition of Coffee and Company, fueled by

5
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety Nick Coffee, the

6
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 2>company Man, mister John Alton, alongside one more hour to

7
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.640
<v Speaker 2>go as we finished strong here been a fun show

8
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.920
<v Speaker 2>so far today. I mean I've enjoyed myself. Hopefully you

9
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 2>guys that have been with us have enjoyed yourself as well.

10
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.159
<v Speaker 2>We're going to try to keep that rolling along here.

11
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I will say this when it comes to you know,

12
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 2>election day, we're not talking politics here. You wouldn't want that,

13
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.560
<v Speaker 2>and I wouldn't want to do that, and certainly wouldn't

14
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.159
<v Speaker 2>be you know, wouldn't be fun. However, I will I'll

15
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:05.480
<v Speaker 2>say if you are someone that has found yourself yelling

16
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:11.079
<v Speaker 2>at people, maybe like in person, or maybe arguing with

17
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.519
<v Speaker 2>strangers on the internet, or maybe arguing with people that

18
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 2>you know on the internet. I just check Facebook on

19
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:18.760
<v Speaker 2>my phone during the commercial break there, and I saw

20
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.319
<v Speaker 2>somebody who I'm friends with said that they've been they've

21
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 2>lost three friends on Facebook today, not like you know,

22
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:27.239
<v Speaker 2>hopefully not like in real life, but like they've they

23
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>were unfriended by people I guess because they were sharing

24
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 2>political opinions. I mean, I guess that's not mean and nasty,

25
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 2>but you know, let's be real, if you want to

26
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 2>go find people yelling at each other about politics, there's

27
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:39.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot of places you can you can do it,

28
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.120
<v Speaker 2>but I'd say Facebook is probably and it's your best

29
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:43.079
<v Speaker 2>bet to start the.

30
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 3>Entire Facebook generation, which I don't think it's quite your age.

31
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 3>I think it may be ten or fifteen years older

32
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 3>than you. Those people who are on Facebook for the

33
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:52.640
<v Speaker 3>most part, those are the ones who love to share

34
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:54.319
<v Speaker 3>their political opinions more than others.

35
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 2>I think, Oh yeah, I mean, i'd say it's people

36
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 2>older than just fifteen years older than me. Although you

37
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 2>can that, I mean, I guess you could find you know,

38
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:03.920
<v Speaker 2>people of all ages can do whatever they want on

39
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>the Internet. But I feel like there are people who

40
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 2>were introduced to the world of social media and really

41
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>the Internet a lot later in their life to where

42
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.479
<v Speaker 2>they just have a different way of utilizing the platform.

43
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Like some people will just get out the Facebook app

44
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>and say took a shower last night. Now I'm gonna

45
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 2>have a snack. Like they'll just post that as a

46
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 2>Facebook status and you know, you'll think, like, hmm, that's interesting,

47
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Like why wouldn't be you know, everybody, you know, you

48
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.560
<v Speaker 2>can utilize the platform that is Facebook anyway that you want.

49
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>But in all seriousness, what do you think you're gonna

50
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:45.360
<v Speaker 2>gain by yelling at somebody rather it be somebody you

51
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.199
<v Speaker 2>know or somebody that you don't know that's a stranger,

52
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 2>and maybe it's not yelling, But like, I just think

53
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.439
<v Speaker 2>at this point in the process, like the people are

54
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna vote who they're gonna vote for now if you

55
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.280
<v Speaker 2>want to, you know, And this is where I probably

56
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 2>need to just move on and not keep discussing because

57
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:05.719
<v Speaker 2>it might, you know, it might because I've been pretty

58
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.840
<v Speaker 2>pretty vanilla today, right, Like, I don't think I've done

59
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 2>anything to ignite either side here, just trying to, you know,

60
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:13.479
<v Speaker 2>not take things so serious and have some fun. I

61
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 2>know the election is a serious thing, but why do

62
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:22.560
<v Speaker 2>people feel the need to share their opinions? Like are

63
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.479
<v Speaker 2>you trying to Like, if you're not asked and you're

64
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.960
<v Speaker 2>not a political pundit, why do you feel the need

65
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.000
<v Speaker 2>to just do you think you're gonna change somebody's mind.

66
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.039
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you do, Like I mean this when I say

67
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to the rivalry, I learned this way

68
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 2>too late, but I'm glad I did learn it many

69
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.680
<v Speaker 2>years ago. There's no point in me going back and

70
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 2>forth about U of L and UK with my closest

71
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.159
<v Speaker 2>friends and even some family members who are diehard Kentucky fans.

72
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>What potentially could be the positive outcome from that experience. Nothing.

73
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to change their mind. I'm not going to,

74
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.159
<v Speaker 2>like I guess if you're just wanting them to like

75
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 2>eat crow and take their medicine because their team lost,

76
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 2>like whatever. But I mean, there's not anything you're gonna

77
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 2>say in an argument that's going to change, like that's

78
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna Okay, you're right, You're right. I was wrong. I'm

79
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>now going to be a UK fan Like that's never happened,

80
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 2>and you wouldn't want that anyway. Like some of them,

81
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>some of my best friends are Kentucky fans. It would

82
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 2>be weird if they weren't and they became U OFL fans.

83
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.560
<v Speaker 2>I would say, no, this is this is weird, Like, no,

84
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 2>not happening, Like my buddies who have kids. If their

85
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 2>kids were U of L fans, and I know how

86
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 2>die hard they are as UK fans, like I would

87
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:38.800
<v Speaker 2>I would think that was wrong. I wouldn't want them,

88
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.600
<v Speaker 2>you know. So when it comes to politics, maybe the

89
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.680
<v Speaker 2>same can be applied. Like we're never going to probably

90
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.639
<v Speaker 2>agree as far as which party, but we can still

91
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, be decent to one another, maybe even be

92
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 2>like really good friends and like each other.

93
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 3>That's the problem with the radicals on both sides, the

94
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 3>act like those who support the side they disagree with

95
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:05.399
<v Speaker 3>are just not human being.

96
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like in humane people. Yes, yeah, And you know,

97
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 2>I hope and I do believe that the radical the

98
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.160
<v Speaker 2>far on each side is a small group and the

99
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.839
<v Speaker 2>vast majority of society is in the middle. Like I

100
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 2>hope that that's the case, and I kind of think

101
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:24.199
<v Speaker 2>that it is. But either way, like what would be

102
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 2>you're in Like do you think on election Day you're

103
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna you're gonna get into a Twitter fight or a

104
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:34.079
<v Speaker 2>Facebook fight and like actually change the election? Oh man,

105
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 2>I was on my way to vote, but datis on Facebook?

106
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:37.079
<v Speaker 1>Man?

107
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 2>He really he really fired off something electric That's got

108
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 2>me thinking differently. I'm gonna probably really have to to

109
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 2>think about what I'm doing when I get to the

110
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 2>when I get to the poll, like, you know, like

111
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.639
<v Speaker 2>it's not happening, so it's not worth your energy, and

112
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 2>it can only I think impact you negatively if you

113
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.319
<v Speaker 2>use today as a day to yell and fight with people,

114
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 2>regardless if it's on the internet, if it's in person,

115
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.279
<v Speaker 2>if it's people that you know, if it's people that

116
00:05:58.319 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 2>you don't know, I mean, if it's people that you

117
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I mean, you still probably won't benefit

118
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 2>from it. But like, don't make today the day where

119
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.000
<v Speaker 2>you end up, like have a falling out with somebody

120
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 2>over this stuff, because that's I mean, I don't think

121
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 2>it'd be worth it. But you know, people make their

122
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 2>own decisions. But Happy election Day, everybody, all right. So

123
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.519
<v Speaker 2>we discussed quite a bit throughout the show last night's

124
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.040
<v Speaker 2>opener for Pat kelsey first real game, and they looked

125
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 2>really good. I mean, you can't ask for a much

126
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>better performance. I mean, they won the game by forty

127
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.720
<v Speaker 2>eight points, ninety three to forty five. Was to score

128
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Morehead State score just fourteen points in the first half,

129
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.839
<v Speaker 2>missed twenty of their last twenty one attempts in the

130
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.560
<v Speaker 2>first half. I mean they were just suffocating defensively. You

131
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 2>were able to see, Okay, yeah, this team does have

132
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:45.759
<v Speaker 2>legitimate depth because they can go to the bench and

133
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.240
<v Speaker 2>really get better. There's not a huge gap. But like

134
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:50.480
<v Speaker 2>if Cason Pryor keeps playing the way he's playing, your

135
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>best player is gonna be coming off the bench, because

136
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean he was. He was the reserve last night,

137
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:58.160
<v Speaker 2>played twenty minutes. Again, really balanced when it comes to

138
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>how minutes were distributed night, And that's what you want,

139
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.079
<v Speaker 2>like for Louisville to you know, to reach their ceiling.

140
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:06.680
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know for sure what their ceiling is,

141
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.439
<v Speaker 2>but the best recipe, the best case scenario for Louisville

142
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 2>is that you see a team that does have a

143
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.759
<v Speaker 2>lot of shooters. They've got a lot of balance, They're deep,

144
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 2>they play fast, their games end up with a lot

145
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.560
<v Speaker 2>of possessions, and they and they and they and they

146
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>work their ass off on the floor like they are.

147
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Their energy and enthusiasm is top notch throughout. That's how

148
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:28.920
<v Speaker 2>their coaches, that's how he wants his team to be.

149
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:32.199
<v Speaker 2>And you have the ability to do that at a

150
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.879
<v Speaker 2>better level if you have depth then you can keep

151
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.240
<v Speaker 2>guys fresh because you can say, okay, yeah, Terrence Edwards,

152
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.480
<v Speaker 2>junior man, he's he's been, he's been working his ass off.

153
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.839
<v Speaker 2>He needs a breather. Let me put in, let me

154
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.199
<v Speaker 2>put in Javon Hadley. There's not a big you know,

155
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.160
<v Speaker 2>clearly different players, but like that's where you can really

156
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.240
<v Speaker 2>utilize the strengths that you know, we hope would be

157
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.720
<v Speaker 2>the strengths of this team. And last night, again it's

158
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:57.480
<v Speaker 2>morehead state. They're not a great team by any means,

159
00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:59.600
<v Speaker 2>but I mean you did all you could ninety three

160
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.439
<v Speaker 2>to forty. I mean you dominated, and they did not

161
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.920
<v Speaker 2>shoot it great eleven of thirty six from three. And

162
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.560
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna have games like that where they shoot thirty

163
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.800
<v Speaker 2>six to forty threes, thirty five to forty. Maybe sometimes

164
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:14.480
<v Speaker 2>they shoot more than forty threes, and maybe they don't

165
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:16.639
<v Speaker 2>shoot it thirty percent. Maybe it's worse or maybe it's

166
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 2>slightly better, and you still feel like, you know what,

167
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't call that a good shooting game. Well, if

168
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.279
<v Speaker 2>you make enough and your defense is as tenacious as

169
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.319
<v Speaker 2>Louisville was last night, and you can create twenty nine

170
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:32.200
<v Speaker 2>points from turning your opponent over and speeding the game up.

171
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Then that's that's how you can not really be impacted

172
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 2>on the scoreboard by having a night where you did

173
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:39.200
<v Speaker 2>miss a lot of threes. I mean, again, eleven of

174
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.399
<v Speaker 2>thirty six, it's not the worst. But I know there

175
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.159
<v Speaker 2>were people watching last night that felt like, Wow, in

176
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.120
<v Speaker 2>the first half, they've missed eight straight threes, why don't

177
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.240
<v Speaker 2>they slow it down? Why don't they feed the post?

178
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.360
<v Speaker 2>And that's just not who they are, So when they're

179
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.919
<v Speaker 2>missing shots, they're not Pat Kelsey's I mean, I don't mean,

180
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there are shots where he feels like is

181
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.240
<v Speaker 2>is not a great shot, But this team has been

182
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:09.159
<v Speaker 2>trained and built to have a very short memory, and

183
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:14.200
<v Speaker 2>nearly everybody at almost any given moment has the green light,

184
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.759
<v Speaker 2>So you live with it. I mean, you don't have to.

185
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you can be upset and think that it's

186
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.440
<v Speaker 2>a faulty way to play the game, and you know

187
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:27.559
<v Speaker 2>that's your opinion. But I think last night, the way

188
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:30.960
<v Speaker 2>this team played is really exactly what Pat Kelsey wants.

189
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:32.960
<v Speaker 2>He wants his guys to make more shots, he wants

190
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.120
<v Speaker 2>them to be a little bit better at the free

191
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.440
<v Speaker 2>throw line. He probably wants them to limit some of

192
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.200
<v Speaker 2>the offensive rebounds that Morehead stayed got like they weren't perfect,

193
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.200
<v Speaker 2>but as far as style and really execution and energy,

194
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I think that's exactly what he wants. And again, ninety

195
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker 2>three to forty five was the score. And now you've

196
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>got a big time opportunity in just your second game

197
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.159
<v Speaker 2>here of the Pat Kelcierra to get a top fifteen

198
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.559
<v Speaker 2>win in front of what I hope is a big

199
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:02.960
<v Speaker 2>crowd at the Young Center on Saturday works out perfect

200
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.480
<v Speaker 2>where the momentum is only growing. As far as you

201
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 2>know this basketball program under Pat Kelsey. If last night didn't,

202
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:12.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's no way last night hurt as far

203
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.480
<v Speaker 2>as anybody wanting to, you know, be out there this season,

204
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 2>especially for the big game on Saturday. It probably made

205
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>you want to be there, or maybe it maybe made

206
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:21.360
<v Speaker 2>you want to go back if you were there in

207
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:25.440
<v Speaker 2>attendance last night. Obviously, Tennessee is a much different challenge

208
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:29.120
<v Speaker 2>than Morehead State. But I liked what I saw last night,

209
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.919
<v Speaker 2>and I wasn't expecting a letdown. I wasn't expecting a

210
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 2>loss by any means. But I actually think everything about

211
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:41.279
<v Speaker 2>their performance as far as execution and energy was better

212
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 2>than anything I've seen in those exhibition games. So really

213
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:50.360
<v Speaker 2>impressive last night, and now I can't wait for Saturday, which,

214
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.039
<v Speaker 2>by the way, Tennessee, I want to shift gears here

215
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:58.399
<v Speaker 2>and talk about the potential atmosphere Saturday, and also just

216
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:03.159
<v Speaker 2>about the whole you know, the conversation about lack of attendance,

217
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:04.919
<v Speaker 2>ticket prices, that kind of stuff. I do want to

218
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 2>I do want to reset that in just a second.

219
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.440
<v Speaker 2>But this Tennessee team, I'm not here to tell you

220
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:12.360
<v Speaker 2>that they're overrated and that they're you know, because it's

221
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.080
<v Speaker 2>tough to know how good anybody really is right down,

222
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.799
<v Speaker 2>including Louisville. But last night, you know, Tennessee that they're

223
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:21.120
<v Speaker 2>coming off of a not a bad game against Indiana. Again,

224
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.279
<v Speaker 2>I didn't watch it, but I didn't hear anybody claim

225
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 2>that they looked, you know, like terrible. It just was

226
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of a sloppy game for them where they probably

227
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, they didn't shoot well, and like a lot

228
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.480
<v Speaker 2>of teams, they're probably still putting it together. They've got

229
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:37.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of new pieces as well. So they lost

230
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Indiana in that secret scrimmage, and then last night they

231
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.519
<v Speaker 2>beat Gardner Webb. But it was pretty close for you know,

232
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:47.799
<v Speaker 2>nearly half the game they won by sixteen. kN Palm

233
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.759
<v Speaker 2>projected that to be a twenty five point win for them.

234
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:55.879
<v Speaker 2>So either Gardner webs better than everybody thought after one night,

235
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.279
<v Speaker 2>or Tennessee just wasn't quite as impressive, you know. For reference,

236
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Louisville beat more or At State by forty eight points.

237
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Ken Pomp projected that to be an eighteen point win.

238
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.639
<v Speaker 2>So it's exciting because look, beating Tennessee when they're top

239
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:12.159
<v Speaker 2>fifteen in the country, that's huge. I mean, talk about

240
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.000
<v Speaker 2>a great way to mean. You couldn't you couldn't script

241
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:15.759
<v Speaker 2>a better start for Pat Kelsey if that's win ends

242
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.600
<v Speaker 2>up happening. But also, like, I don't know if they're

243
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.399
<v Speaker 2>top fifteen because stuff to know, right like, maybe Tennessee

244
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:25.200
<v Speaker 2>takes a big step back. But all I know is

245
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.759
<v Speaker 2>right now, when they come in on Saturday, the perception

246
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 2>of them is going to be that they're really good,

247
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:31.279
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to run with that. And if Louisville

248
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.360
<v Speaker 2>can pull off the win, it'll be I mean, it'll

249
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.679
<v Speaker 2>be I mean, try not to just say the same thing.

250
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it'll be insane, Like.

251
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:40.799
<v Speaker 3>They don't have a line for that game yet do

252
00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:41.120
<v Speaker 3>they I.

253
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Haven't seen one. It'll probably it'll probably come out on Friday,

254
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:49.320
<v Speaker 2>is my guess. But like that to me will be

255
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.840
<v Speaker 2>the moment where you you probably find yourself well I

256
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:55.159
<v Speaker 2>can only speak for me, but maybe I won't be

257
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.559
<v Speaker 2>alone here if they're able to win and get that

258
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:00.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of a win in just the second game for

259
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:04.159
<v Speaker 2>pat and that the atmosphere at them is really insane

260
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:05.759
<v Speaker 2>and it's a white out, and like you, you know,

261
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:09.440
<v Speaker 2>if this thing plays out perfectly as far as the scenario,

262
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I think that'll be the moment for me that I've

263
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.600
<v Speaker 2>referenced for about a year now, Like when it's over

264
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:19.559
<v Speaker 2>and you finally have something really good happen, We're going

265
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:24.039
<v Speaker 2>to probably react to it times ten compared to what

266
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.480
<v Speaker 2>we used to because I mean, even look, if you

267
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.720
<v Speaker 2>beat a top fifteen team, I don't care who Louisville's

268
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:30.879
<v Speaker 2>coaches or what era we're in, Like, you know that

269
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.080
<v Speaker 2>that's valuable and that's a big deal. But when you

270
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:36.919
<v Speaker 2>consider the recent years and just the Louisville program, you know,

271
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.320
<v Speaker 2>in the last four years or so, like it's going

272
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.279
<v Speaker 2>to feel like, you know, you did something that's you know,

273
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:47.759
<v Speaker 2>probably not. We try to try to. I'm trying to

274
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.480
<v Speaker 2>find my comfort zone here as far as like not

275
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.639
<v Speaker 2>acting like you want a national championship, But like I

276
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.320
<v Speaker 2>think people may react that way and we'll get made

277
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:58.919
<v Speaker 2>fun of. I'm sure because like you know, people will think, geez,

278
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:00.799
<v Speaker 2>I remember my first winning against the ranked team, and

279
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll be thinking, well, yeah, for Louisville, it's been a while.

280
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Things have been have been bad. But when it comes

281
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.600
<v Speaker 2>to that atmosphere on Saturday, Pat Kelsey was asked last

282
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.799
<v Speaker 2>night at the end of his press conference about, you know,

283
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:15.679
<v Speaker 2>what he would say to fans as far as the

284
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:19.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, I guess basically, hey, you're on the spot here,

285
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:21.480
<v Speaker 2>what would you say to get fans to come out

286
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:23.720
<v Speaker 2>to the game. Here's what he said.

287
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:30.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean, people know, people in this town know. They

288
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:34.320
<v Speaker 4>they know. I mean Josh, Josh and Brian Cloman were

289
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:35.720
<v Speaker 4>the one that came to me and to go Game

290
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:40.559
<v Speaker 4>two Tennessee and I'm like, Tennessee Game two. They're like, yeah,

<v Speaker 4>it's gonna be at the city. The city. I'm telling you, PK,

292
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.000
<v Speaker 4>like do the game.

<v Speaker 4>They're gonna show up. Places gonna be packed. It's gonna

295
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:52.720
<v Speaker 4>be rocking. So I'm like, all right, So Josh promised

296
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.840
<v Speaker 4>me the place is gonna be rocking and almost packed.

297
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.600
<v Speaker 4>So uh, you guys gotta you guys, gotta have Josh's

298
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.840
<v Speaker 4>back and get there. And let's say, let's say have

299
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:04.639
<v Speaker 4>twenty thousand at them on Saturday. Play like I said,

300
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:09.759
<v Speaker 4>a great team, great team, phenomenally well coached, Hall of

301
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:14.240
<v Speaker 4>Fame All American point guard. They got, they got the

302
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:18.159
<v Speaker 4>Noah's Ark, they got two of everything, and you know,

303
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:19.879
<v Speaker 4>and we're gonna need the white out, We're gonna need

304
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.120
<v Speaker 4>the six man. And I know the Louisville fan base

305
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:23.919
<v Speaker 4>in the city of Louisville is gonna step up. Let's

306
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:26.200
<v Speaker 4>make Saturday really really special? Is that all right?

307
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:30.399
<v Speaker 2>So I have no clue what to expect as far

308
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:34.120
<v Speaker 2>as the actual attendance here. I really don't. And I

309
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:38.759
<v Speaker 2>usually am comfortable in saying that, like hey, because with Louisville,

310
00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:41.480
<v Speaker 2>the one thing that really does surprise me at times

311
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:44.240
<v Speaker 2>with attendants is when there is like a big game

312
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:47.519
<v Speaker 2>and a big opportunity, and Louisville is also a good

313
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:50.600
<v Speaker 2>team with momentum and the crowds are really like that.

314
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:52.639
<v Speaker 2>I think that's a rare situation because I think we've

315
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.879
<v Speaker 2>shown that when there is a big game, louis fans

316
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.960
<v Speaker 2>will show up. Now, if it's a dud game, don't

317
00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:59.559
<v Speaker 2>be surprised if there's a lot of empty seats. If

318
00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:01.639
<v Speaker 2>it's if if it's middle of the pack, middle of

319
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:04.080
<v Speaker 2>the road, or whatever, then you know your guess is

320
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.279
<v Speaker 2>as good as mine as far as what ends up

321
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:08.120
<v Speaker 2>happening at that point, it probably depends on time, day

322
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:12.320
<v Speaker 2>of the week, you know, that kind of stuff. So

323
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I've said for a couple of years now that I

324
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:15.679
<v Speaker 2>don't try to I don't like to get into the

325
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:20.399
<v Speaker 2>whole conversation about attendance and tickets because I don't believe

326
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:23.559
<v Speaker 2>in shaming fans. But I also understand that, like it's

327
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:25.799
<v Speaker 2>not a good thing if you can't get people to

328
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:27.440
<v Speaker 2>come back to the Yum Center, if the UMP Center

329
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.879
<v Speaker 2>becomes the venue for Louisville basketball, moving forward to where

330
00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:36.080
<v Speaker 2>if you get if you get eighteen thousand once a year,

331
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:40.480
<v Speaker 2>that's considered a big deal, like that wouldn't be ideal. So, like,

332
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I see both sides of it. I mean, I don't

333
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.879
<v Speaker 2>really have a strong opinion because again, both things can

334
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.120
<v Speaker 2>be true. It makes total sense for fans to say, look,

335
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm not interested in going to a game on a

336
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday when you play a team I've never heard of,

337
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:56.440
<v Speaker 2>and it costs what it costs, Like I can still

338
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:58.000
<v Speaker 2>be a fan at home and I'll go to four

339
00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:02.559
<v Speaker 2>or five games that you know, I see worth my investment.

340
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:08.920
<v Speaker 2>But again, if only, like you know, if there becomes

341
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:12.240
<v Speaker 2>just the if there's a core that only shows up

342
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:14.200
<v Speaker 2>for these kind of games you had last night and

343
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:16.640
<v Speaker 2>the exhibitions, I mean, it wouldn't be the end of

344
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.559
<v Speaker 2>the world. But that's not what you want. That's not ideal.

345
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:22.720
<v Speaker 2>So I see both sides of it, and I don't

346
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.920
<v Speaker 2>know the perfect solution. I really don't. So that's always

347
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.039
<v Speaker 2>why I've kind of stayed away from just getting into it.

348
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:32.720
<v Speaker 2>But it's clearly become a big conversation among Louisville fans

349
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:36.160
<v Speaker 2>because people want to go to games, but they can't

350
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:40.519
<v Speaker 2>afford it. And I think if U of L was

351
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:43.640
<v Speaker 2>able to simply make the prices for tickets on their

352
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.839
<v Speaker 2>website a lot cheaper than they are, I think they

353
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.839
<v Speaker 2>would do it. So like, I don't really blame them,

354
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:52.880
<v Speaker 2>like it's business, but I also understand fans saying, hey,

355
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:55.960
<v Speaker 2>I know you need me now, but I can't afford it.

356
00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.839
<v Speaker 2>And even though maybe your price point is to do

357
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:01.640
<v Speaker 2>with a mistake you made hiring the wrong guy last time,

358
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:03.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to hold it against you. But I

359
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:05.759
<v Speaker 2>don't have the money, like I can't. I can't, I

360
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:09.680
<v Speaker 2>can't afford it. So you know, I don't know how

361
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:11.720
<v Speaker 2>they fix it. But one thing that that is starting

362
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:14.319
<v Speaker 2>to trigger me a little bit is whenever, And I'm

363
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.359
<v Speaker 2>not I'm not worried about what other fans say. Like

364
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I know, last night, Matt said something that got everybody

365
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.079
<v Speaker 2>fired up, and that's that's I mean, he's good at that,

366
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Like that's that's probably what he was hoping to happen,

367
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:27.799
<v Speaker 2>and it worked for him. But he made some kind

368
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:29.759
<v Speaker 2>of a comment about how bad the attendance was for

369
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Pat Kelsey, and you know, it let everybody up. And

370
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:35.440
<v Speaker 2>I really, you know, again, I don't I don't agree

371
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:37.119
<v Speaker 2>with that. I don't see it that I didn't see

372
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:39.720
<v Speaker 2>last night as like you know, a huge alarming issue.

373
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:43.559
<v Speaker 2>But you know, that's that's that's what rivals do. They

374
00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:45.000
<v Speaker 2>go back and forth about this kind of stuff. I

375
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.720
<v Speaker 2>think it's a little unusual how much Kentucky fans. Not

376
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 2>all of them, but you know, plenty of them. They

377
00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:53.480
<v Speaker 2>were obsessed, not just with Louisville, but man, they want

378
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:55.079
<v Speaker 2>they want to they want to see, they want to

379
00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:56.880
<v Speaker 2>see if there's empty seats, they want to see if

380
00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:58.799
<v Speaker 2>they I mean, they want an audit of like who

381
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:00.599
<v Speaker 2>actually went to games. And I just think that's weird

382
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.440
<v Speaker 2>behavior to be, you know, that level. But again, they're

383
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:07.079
<v Speaker 2>that's that's how a lot of them operate. And that's fine,

384
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.200
<v Speaker 2>that's what makes the rivalry insane. But what gets me

385
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:15.480
<v Speaker 2>is Louisville fans shaming other fans of the same fan base,

386
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:20.400
<v Speaker 2>calling them soft and fair weather. Like that's legit to

387
00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:25.599
<v Speaker 2>it extent, but that's also unfair. Like last night, I

388
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.079
<v Speaker 2>don't know what it costs to get into that game,

389
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:29.920
<v Speaker 2>but I know that if you want, if you want

390
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:32.240
<v Speaker 2>to go to the Spalding game and not a real game,

391
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:35.559
<v Speaker 2>and you wanted to sit in the nosebleeds, just you

392
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:38.039
<v Speaker 2>and one other person, it was gonna cost you over

393
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:41.359
<v Speaker 2>one hundred dollars just to get in the door. You

394
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:44.680
<v Speaker 2>throw in parking, You throw in a drink for each person,

395
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:47.839
<v Speaker 2>maybe a popcorn to share. I mean that that's that's

396
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money to a lot of people, and

397
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:54.640
<v Speaker 2>it's just something that one, you know, they can't justify

398
00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:57.359
<v Speaker 2>it and they also can't really afford it like that.

399
00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:57.960
<v Speaker 4>You know.

400
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:04.680
<v Speaker 2>That's why I think you're seeing for games like last night,

401
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:06.519
<v Speaker 2>the types of crowds that you're seeing now. I think

402
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:10.160
<v Speaker 2>it'll get better. Meaning if they keep playing this way

403
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:14.480
<v Speaker 2>when they play, especially they beat Tennessee the Winthrop game,

404
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:18.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe the Winthrop game, there'll be a twenty percent boost

405
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:20.960
<v Speaker 2>from what you saw last night. Maybe when they play

406
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know some other teams they play that are

407
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:27.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, I can't think of it. I don't have

408
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:29.039
<v Speaker 2>the schedule in front of me, but you know, because honestly,

409
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:30.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of their non conference games are against teams

410
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.240
<v Speaker 2>you've heard of because they're playing a pretty challenging schedule

411
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.880
<v Speaker 2>in the non conference, maybe one of the most challenging

412
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:37.960
<v Speaker 2>schedules in the country. So, like, I don't know what

413
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.079
<v Speaker 2>the perfect solution is, but I would just you know,

414
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:43.599
<v Speaker 2>I'll say this when it comes to Louisville fans that

415
00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:48.359
<v Speaker 2>feel like, hey, the reason nobody's going is because our

416
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:51.880
<v Speaker 2>fan base is dying and we're a bunch of fair weather.

417
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:55.279
<v Speaker 2>We're posers. We claim we love college basketball, but no,

418
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:58.680
<v Speaker 2>if so it be a packed house twenty two thousand

419
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:02.680
<v Speaker 2>standing to play orhead state, like that's so off, Like

420
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:08.680
<v Speaker 2>that's just not reality. And I mean again, like maybe

421
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:10.839
<v Speaker 2>it's changed. In fact, I think it has changed, but

422
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:12.599
<v Speaker 2>like if you just go to again, and this is

423
00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:16.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm not blaming the university because again I think if

424
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:19.039
<v Speaker 2>they could make it cheaper, they would, and I think

425
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:21.880
<v Speaker 2>they understand and they're not like there's a reason why,

426
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:25.079
<v Speaker 2>like they're not they want they want fans to come,

427
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:28.000
<v Speaker 2>but they also you know, understand that right now with

428
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:30.720
<v Speaker 2>the economy, with the price point, like you know, there's

429
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:32.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna probably be more empty seats than they want. But

430
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:34.680
<v Speaker 2>like if you just go to tickets at go cards

431
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:36.720
<v Speaker 2>dot com, like that, that's how a lot of people

432
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:38.599
<v Speaker 2>are probably programmed to get tickets and they see the

433
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:42.079
<v Speaker 2>price and they think, no, can't do it. It's not

434
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:44.799
<v Speaker 2>because they're they don't care. That's not apathy. That's just

435
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:48.000
<v Speaker 2>like making a financial decision that is responsible that if

436
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:50.519
<v Speaker 2>you can't afford it, you can't afford it. Hell I

437
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:53.680
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be able to afford it. I mean not to

438
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:55.440
<v Speaker 2>say that if I can't afford it, nobody can trust me.

439
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:57.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm not made of money. I work in radio. But

440
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:02.440
<v Speaker 2>it's not a cheap thing to do. And that's the

441
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:04.960
<v Speaker 2>ultimate issue here. If it was easy to fix, I

442
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:07.400
<v Speaker 2>think UFL would have already implemented some kind of a fix.

443
00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:12.440
<v Speaker 2>So I'm hopeful that tenants gets better, but I'm going

444
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:15.160
<v Speaker 2>to continue to just understand that if it's not great

445
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:18.039
<v Speaker 2>or even good for games like last night, as far

446
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:20.680
<v Speaker 2>as the opponent, it's not because the Louisville fan based

447
00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:24.160
<v Speaker 2>has some major issue. It's I think for obvious reasons.

448
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:26.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break, keeple locked right here on Sports

449
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Talk seven ninety.

450
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:30.359
<v Speaker 4>Right.

451
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:35.119
<v Speaker 2>So when it comes to the conversation about getting more

452
00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:39.359
<v Speaker 2>fans to buy tickets and show back up at at

453
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:42.359
<v Speaker 2>the m Center, right, if there was an easy fix

454
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:44.119
<v Speaker 2>where you snap your fingers and it's done, it would

455
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:46.160
<v Speaker 2>have already been done. I think it's a variety of things,

456
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:52.759
<v Speaker 2>but I think that if in fact tickets were cheaper,

457
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:56.599
<v Speaker 2>you'd still see empty seats and people would still have

458
00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:59.720
<v Speaker 2>this conversation. But I do think you would you would

459
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.079
<v Speaker 2>also visibly see more more people that are there. And

460
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:06.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm not blaming you of l I mean,

461
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:07.839
<v Speaker 2>you can if you want. But when I say this,

462
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:10.039
<v Speaker 2>it's not like it's it's all their fault. But when

463
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:12.400
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned if you just go to go cards dot com,

464
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:16.480
<v Speaker 2>because again, most people, I would say, if you are

465
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:19.200
<v Speaker 2>not somebody that buys tickets a lot, or maybe you

466
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:20.880
<v Speaker 2>just do it, I don't know, a couple times a year,

467
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:24.200
<v Speaker 2>you probably think, Okay, I want to go to the

468
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Louisville basketball game. Hm, I can just go to Ticketmaster,

469
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:30.799
<v Speaker 2>which is the you know, most known play. I mean,

470
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:33.200
<v Speaker 2>they're certainly not the best. They're the worst in my opinion,

471
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.319
<v Speaker 2>because of all the fees and whatnot that come with it.

472
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:39.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there are many competitors to Ticketmaster that are

473
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:41.920
<v Speaker 2>not nearly as known because Ticketmaster's been around a long

474
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:45.400
<v Speaker 2>long time that you can get tickets from. You can

475
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:47.839
<v Speaker 2>get tickets for louis games and other events for much

476
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:49.519
<v Speaker 2>cheaper without all the thieves. Which we'll talk about that

477
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:51.119
<v Speaker 2>in just a second. But again, I think right now,

478
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:53.640
<v Speaker 2>if you're not really just thinking, man, there's all kinds

479
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:56.640
<v Speaker 2>of options. Let me consider the eight different places I

480
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:58.079
<v Speaker 2>could buy a ticket. And I'm not saying that's a

481
00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:01.079
<v Speaker 2>lot of work, but again, people who don't like people

482
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:03.839
<v Speaker 2>who are, oh wow, Louisville's pretty good again, they're playing

483
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:05.359
<v Speaker 2>good basketball. Let me go see if I can get tickets.

484
00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:07.039
<v Speaker 2>You're probably gonna go to Ticketmaster, or you're gonna go

485
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:09.240
<v Speaker 2>to go cards dot com and click tickets and that

486
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:12.240
<v Speaker 2>through the school, through the school website, it takes you

487
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:16.359
<v Speaker 2>to Ticketmaster. And when you just click on that, I mean,

488
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:19.039
<v Speaker 2>when you do it that way, I mean it's it's

489
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:23.079
<v Speaker 2>not cheap. And I know that, you know, cheap to

490
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.160
<v Speaker 2>somebody may not be cheap to someone else. Everybody's financial

491
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:29.960
<v Speaker 2>situation is different. But yeah, you know, you don't even

492
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:32.240
<v Speaker 2>have to be like a blue collar person like you

493
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:35.079
<v Speaker 2>don't have to be somebody that maybe has you know,

494
00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:38.000
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have a whole lot of extra income for entertainment

495
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:40.000
<v Speaker 2>like going to Louisville basketball games. I think it could

496
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.559
<v Speaker 2>be somebody that's probably doing decent for yourself that would

497
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:45.000
<v Speaker 2>still have a hard time paying what it would cost

498
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.680
<v Speaker 2>if you just go about getting tickets this way. So

499
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.519
<v Speaker 2>for Tennessee, there's a bunch of tickets available, I would

500
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:55.400
<v Speaker 2>assume right now, because you know, we're getting closer to Saturday,

501
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:58.240
<v Speaker 2>and I hope that many people get tickets, but as

502
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:00.279
<v Speaker 2>far as like you know, right now, you can still

503
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:02.839
<v Speaker 2>there's still a lot of them available. So in Tennessee

504
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:05.119
<v Speaker 2>is a big game. It's not just a you know,

505
00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:08.440
<v Speaker 2>it's not just a you know, a random game against

506
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Winthrop or Bellerman or something like that. So if I

507
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.039
<v Speaker 2>wanted to go get tickets for me and John, I'm

508
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:19.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna go upper level three h nine nosebleeds. I am

509
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:24.279
<v Speaker 2>eight rows from the very top of the Umcenter, and

510
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get these two tickets. I'm not really buying them.

511
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:29.160
<v Speaker 1>John.

512
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you've got plans and you don't want to

513
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:32.039
<v Speaker 2>go anyway, But I'm just saying I don't want to

514
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:33.279
<v Speaker 2>put you in a spot where you'd have to say, Nick,

515
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:35.480
<v Speaker 2>if you bought those tickets, Man, sorry, you can't go.

516
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm just hypothetical here. Yes, So if I go check out,

517
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:44.279
<v Speaker 2>that's one hundred and fifty bucks before morphees are added,

518
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:48.640
<v Speaker 2>before parking, before you know, a beer or even a soda,

519
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:52.680
<v Speaker 2>And that's three hundred bucks. It's a lot of I mean,

520
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:54.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, roughly three hundred bucks all thing is considered.

521
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:57.119
<v Speaker 2>That's a lot of money too many people. And it

522
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.440
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean that like they are brought, like the fan

523
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.519
<v Speaker 2>base has a problem. That's not a problem with apathy,

524
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:05.960
<v Speaker 2>that's just like, hey, it's getting pricey. The economy is

525
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.000
<v Speaker 2>not in a great place. Like I just can't do that.

526
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I want to. I love Pat Kelcey, I just can't

527
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:13.759
<v Speaker 2>afford it. And I think UFL knows that. But this

528
00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:15.720
<v Speaker 2>is the way they have to price it for, you know,

529
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:18.119
<v Speaker 2>reasons I don't know and don't really need to know.

530
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Like I don't think they're out here being greedy. And

531
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:23.440
<v Speaker 2>if you view it as hey, they're making us pay

532
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:27.680
<v Speaker 2>the price for their mistake by hiring Kenny Payne, well,

533
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:31.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's a business and they can't operate on charity.

534
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:35.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, so I think there's been some clear messaging

535
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:36.960
<v Speaker 2>from those on the inside. They want you to come,

536
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:39.720
<v Speaker 2>They're going to encourage you. But Peyton Seve, of all people,

537
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I thought, did a great job last night on and

538
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:43.559
<v Speaker 2>I say of all people, I mean it's sarcasm, like

539
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:46.119
<v Speaker 2>he's a great dude and we need more. Peyton Seve

540
00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:48.400
<v Speaker 2>is out there in this world. But he just said, look,

541
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:50.279
<v Speaker 2>appreciate everybody who came out the ump centers rock and

542
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:52.359
<v Speaker 2>also appreciate all of you who watched it home, you

543
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:55.720
<v Speaker 2>know great, you know, just basically hyping up the fans

544
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:57.200
<v Speaker 2>and making it clear like, hey, if you can't get it,

545
00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:01.400
<v Speaker 2>if you can't come, we get it, right. So, I mean, even,

546
00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:06.000
<v Speaker 2>let's go to Bellerman. I clicked on Bellerman and I'm

547
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:08.839
<v Speaker 2>gonna get tickets for me and John in the Bellermin game.

548
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:14.400
<v Speaker 2>We're going nose bleeds again. Fifty bucks a pop. I mean,

549
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:17.039
<v Speaker 2>at least from where I'm at right now before fees, Well,

550
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:20.000
<v Speaker 2>it looks like I can get yeah, two in section

551
00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:24.079
<v Speaker 2>three oh seven, two seats for me and you. It's

552
00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:26.200
<v Speaker 2>fifty bucks apiece a hundred bucks. And I'm not even

553
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:28.319
<v Speaker 2>sure if that is if that includes the I mean,

554
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:29.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there'll be an added fee as to what

555
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:31.759
<v Speaker 2>it is. I don't actually know. I have to check out,

556
00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:34.079
<v Speaker 2>and whenever I do that, it asks me to log in,

557
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:36.640
<v Speaker 2>and I don't. I'm not logging in. So, you know, again,

558
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't bring this up to say, hey, it's all

559
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:43.119
<v Speaker 2>U of L's fault. I'm just saying, like I don't

560
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:47.279
<v Speaker 2>believe there's some deep rooted issue that Louisville basketball is

561
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:49.640
<v Speaker 2>never gonna have fans come to games anymore. Now, Will

562
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:52.240
<v Speaker 2>attendance ever be like it once was? Probably not, but

563
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:55.200
<v Speaker 2>more than anything, just because like things like there's not

564
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:57.039
<v Speaker 2>as much of an incentive to say that you were

565
00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:58.839
<v Speaker 2>at a game like there was long long ago. I mean,

566
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:01.119
<v Speaker 2>now you can watch it at home and you know,

567
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:03.440
<v Speaker 2>only go to five six games a year because it's

568
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:06.319
<v Speaker 2>cheaper and you know you so, I mean it makes sense.

569
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:11.880
<v Speaker 2>So you know, with all that said, like I still

570
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:14.319
<v Speaker 2>stand by what I've said for a while now that

571
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:16.119
<v Speaker 2>like I see both sides of it. You do need

572
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:17.720
<v Speaker 2>more people to go to games. It's not ideal for

573
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:19.559
<v Speaker 2>U of L to have the type of attendance you know,

574
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.279
<v Speaker 2>regularly like you had last night. But I also totally

575
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:25.799
<v Speaker 2>understand that there's many fans that aren't going. And it's

576
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:28.000
<v Speaker 2>not because they're checked out, they don't carry anymore, they

577
00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:30.039
<v Speaker 2>lost their love for Louisville hoops. It's because they can't

578
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.680
<v Speaker 2>afford it. And this became a really big thread of

579
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:35.960
<v Speaker 2>mine on Twitter today that I wasn't really expecting because

580
00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:38.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, and again which people on Twitter that that

581
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:41.319
<v Speaker 2>doesn't represent the entire fan base. But you know, there

582
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:44.160
<v Speaker 2>are a lot of people who who simply you know,

583
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:46.000
<v Speaker 2>are making it clear, like, look, I want to go,

584
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:48.160
<v Speaker 2>but I just I can't. I can't justify it, like

585
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:50.039
<v Speaker 2>Brandon writes it and says, I paid Twitter and thirty

586
00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:53.119
<v Speaker 2>dollars for three tickets eleven rows up from the court

587
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.960
<v Speaker 2>got them off seat gee, So you know that's somebody

588
00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:59.920
<v Speaker 2>who's you know, that's that's to me, that's a lot

589
00:28:59.920 --> 00:29:01.440
<v Speaker 2>of money. But hey, if you're eleven rows up from

590
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:07.240
<v Speaker 2>the court, that's not bad. This says cheapest ticket for

591
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.640
<v Speaker 2>last night was fifty bucks in the nosebleeds. If that's

592
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:13.079
<v Speaker 2>the case. You know, if that's the case, then again,

593
00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:16.200
<v Speaker 2>like if you can't swing that, or even if you

594
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:19.400
<v Speaker 2>think to yourself, like I might be able to afford that,

595
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:21.440
<v Speaker 2>but like I'm going to spend my money a little

596
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:29.359
<v Speaker 2>bit differently, Like I totally understand that too. So there

597
00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:31.319
<v Speaker 2>are some options to where you can go cheaper, and

598
00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:33.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't I'm not an expert on this, but I

599
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:39.200
<v Speaker 2>know seat geek and tick pick absolutely have cheaper fees

600
00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:41.319
<v Speaker 2>at times. Now they still have some fees associated, but

601
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:44.000
<v Speaker 2>it's not I mean, I think you will find that

602
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:47.319
<v Speaker 2>you'll end up spending less if you go through those

603
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:51.559
<v Speaker 2>platforms than you would if you use Ticketmaster. But if

604
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:53.839
<v Speaker 2>you go to the YOUM Center box office during the day,

605
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:56.119
<v Speaker 2>which is not convenient for most people. But if you

606
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:59.319
<v Speaker 2>really want to go and the price point is really

607
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:04.119
<v Speaker 2>just that difficult for you, and you can make it

608
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:07.319
<v Speaker 2>to the box office, they're open Monday, Wednesday and Friday,

609
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:10.519
<v Speaker 2>and you can, you can eliminate a lot of those fees.

610
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:18.240
<v Speaker 2>So Kyle, he mentions that forty three dollars. Well, yeah,

611
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:21.359
<v Speaker 2>let's see, so apparently he talked to somebody at the

612
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:22.880
<v Speaker 2>ticket office. And this is clearly a lot of hearsay,

613
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:24.519
<v Speaker 2>but it makes little sense that if you buy from

614
00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:27.319
<v Speaker 2>the Young box office in person Monday, Wednesday and Friday,

615
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:29.440
<v Speaker 2>you will avoid all those fees that make your tickets,

616
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:32.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, substantially expensive. Now, sometimes even with no fees,

617
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:33.960
<v Speaker 2>you're still going to look at the price and say,

618
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:36.160
<v Speaker 2>man I can't swing it. So but if you are

619
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:37.759
<v Speaker 2>somebody that is saying, look, I want to go, but

620
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:39.880
<v Speaker 2>man I just can't afford it, there are some things

621
00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:43.599
<v Speaker 2>you can do to potentially, you know, make that cost

622
00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:47.759
<v Speaker 2>a little less expensive. And look, I'm not saying this

623
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:50.279
<v Speaker 2>to I mean, I really don't know if I stand

624
00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:53.640
<v Speaker 2>a benefit from saying this. But like I've had tickets

625
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:56.720
<v Speaker 2>that I've had given to me to give away that

626
00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:59.759
<v Speaker 2>you know right now, I feel like this would be

627
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:01.880
<v Speaker 2>a real time that if we were giving away free tickets,

628
00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:04.519
<v Speaker 2>people would would really want them. I mean, heck, you

629
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:07.640
<v Speaker 2>give away tickets to the previous era of Louisville basketball,

630
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:09.920
<v Speaker 2>that's an insult to somebody had in the tickets to

631
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:12.400
<v Speaker 2>what we used to have. Now there's legitimately people that

632
00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:15.440
<v Speaker 2>want to go, and the price is the issue. But

633
00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:19.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm not blaming U of L. I'm blaming Learfield. Leearfield

634
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:22.359
<v Speaker 2>won't let me. Learfield says I'm not allowed to give

635
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:27.400
<v Speaker 2>away tickets to U of L games for free because

636
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:32.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't have like it expressed written consent and because

637
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:37.160
<v Speaker 2>we're we're not partners with lear Field. I mean, I

638
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:39.240
<v Speaker 2>left it alone, but like twice I've asked like, hey,

639
00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:40.839
<v Speaker 2>I've got these to give away. Am I good? Or

640
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:42.200
<v Speaker 2>am I going to get hit with like a cease

641
00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:45.599
<v Speaker 2>and assist? And I was told you can't do it. So,

642
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:49.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm trying to help and give away some

643
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:51.680
<v Speaker 2>tickets to people who would want them, and I'm being

644
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:55.519
<v Speaker 2>told I'm not allowed to so, but I believe that's

645
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:58.079
<v Speaker 2>a Learfield thing. And I think if it, if I

646
00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:00.559
<v Speaker 2>really wanted to raise this think about itrobably could get

647
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:02.039
<v Speaker 2>the green light. And maybe I will, But I don't,

648
00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:03.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm not. I don't want to.

649
00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:04.119
<v Speaker 4>I don't.

650
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:07.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't like contentious situations and confrontation and all that.

651
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:09.920
<v Speaker 2>But like, isn't that ridiculous again, I'm not. I mean,

652
00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:11.240
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to answer that, John, because I'm gon

653
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:12.759
<v Speaker 2>to make it look like I'm having you defend me.

654
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:14.759
<v Speaker 2>But like, I'm just trying to like get more people

655
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:16.440
<v Speaker 2>to go to games. But because we don't have their

656
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:19.000
<v Speaker 2>games anymore and we're not I guess radio partners with

657
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:21.880
<v Speaker 2>them like we once were, they don't, like I guess

658
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:24.160
<v Speaker 2>they think I'm gonna use free tickets they were gifted

659
00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:28.799
<v Speaker 2>to me to like prop up my show illegally that

660
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:32.839
<v Speaker 2>I you know, it makes no petty. Oh, it's really petty.

661
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:36.799
<v Speaker 2>It's super petty. So anyways, there are cheaper ways to

662
00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:39.079
<v Speaker 2>go than just by going to the school website clicking tickets,

663
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:41.759
<v Speaker 2>but it's still probably not going to be affordable for

664
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:44.759
<v Speaker 2>some and you'll probably have to look a little harder

665
00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:47.119
<v Speaker 2>or put a little extra work in, like going you know,

666
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:51.160
<v Speaker 2>actually going to the going to the to the box office.

667
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:53.240
<v Speaker 2>But man, I hope that there's a big crowd there

668
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:55.519
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday. I think there will be a great crowd

669
00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:58.079
<v Speaker 2>in the lower bowl. I think you'll see empty seats

670
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.400
<v Speaker 2>up top, but they'll still there, still will be up

671
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:03.519
<v Speaker 2>there that are noticeable and hopefully loud. And if that's

672
00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:05.240
<v Speaker 2>what it is, you know, as long as those people

673
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:07.359
<v Speaker 2>are rocking, man, it's going to be a great atmosphere

674
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:10.880
<v Speaker 2>that this team should be able to really build from

675
00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:14.240
<v Speaker 2>or build lean on. I should say, all right, quick break,

676
00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:16.559
<v Speaker 2>we'll come back on the other side and wrap up

677
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:19.119
<v Speaker 2>this election day edition of Coffee and Company fuel Boy

678
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. All right,

679
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:26.240
<v Speaker 2>final segment here on an election day edition of Coffee

680
00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:29.880
<v Speaker 2>and Company fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

681
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:34.559
<v Speaker 2>And I'll use these final few minutes wisely and let

682
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:37.480
<v Speaker 2>you know how you can take something that is already

683
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:41.400
<v Speaker 2>great and make it even better. And I'm talking about sex,

684
00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:44.880
<v Speaker 2>ladies and gentlemen fellas. Could you benefit from a little

685
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:49.000
<v Speaker 2>bit extra in the bedroom, Yes, we all could. Bluetoo

686
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:50.839
<v Speaker 2>dot com can help with exactly that. And when I

687
00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:53.160
<v Speaker 2>say help, I don't mean like you're in desperate need

688
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:57.440
<v Speaker 2>of help or you know that you have to have it,

689
00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:58.920
<v Speaker 2>or you know you got an issue. I think so

690
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:02.400
<v Speaker 2>many people have this conception. They have this perception of

691
00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:05.240
<v Speaker 2>products like Blue Choo as if like, hey, I got

692
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:06.759
<v Speaker 2>to take it or I can. It's not that. I

693
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:08.639
<v Speaker 2>mean it can help you if that is an issue,

694
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:11.679
<v Speaker 2>but it also can just enhance the overall experience. And

695
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:13.960
<v Speaker 2>who would want to do that? Again, it's blue Chee.

696
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:18.960
<v Speaker 2>They use the same active ingredients as Viagra and Cialis,

697
00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:22.159
<v Speaker 2>but it's in a chewable tablet and it's a fraction

698
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:26.159
<v Speaker 2>of the cost. It's an online prescription service, so therefore

699
00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:28.039
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to go to the doctor's office and

700
00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:31.079
<v Speaker 2>have those awkward conversations, nothing like that. It ships right

701
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:35.239
<v Speaker 2>to your door in a discrete package. And here's something

702
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:38.199
<v Speaker 2>you need to be aware of. Once you get in

703
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:41.039
<v Speaker 2>the game with Blue Cheo and you know you have

704
00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:44.119
<v Speaker 2>that great experience, your partner's probably gonna, you know, want

705
00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:48.960
<v Speaker 2>to keep that going, right, So just be prepared for that.

706
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:50.599
<v Speaker 2>And I don't think that'd be an issue for you, right.

707
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:52.679
<v Speaker 2>More of the business, you know what I'm saying, more

708
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:55.119
<v Speaker 2>the good stuff, more the sex. That's what you want, right,

709
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:59.079
<v Speaker 2>So you're welcome, and it gets even better. Not only

710

718
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:20.719
<v Speaker 2>All right, So some final thoughts here. Just on election day,

719
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:24.840
<v Speaker 2>One thing that really has stood out to me is

720
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:29.199
<v Speaker 2>how confident both sides seem, almost as if like they're

721
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:33.119
<v Speaker 2>laughing that the other side thinks that there's gonna be

722
00:35:33.239 --> 00:35:36.320
<v Speaker 2>a chance they win. And that makes this to me

723
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:40.400
<v Speaker 2>like entertaining. I mean, that makes it to where, like

724
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:42.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it confirms probably what a lot of people

725
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:45.639
<v Speaker 2>were assuming, and that whatever ends up happening, the losing

726
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:50.079
<v Speaker 2>side's gonna blame the refs, meaning like you know, somebody cheated, right,

727
00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:53.079
<v Speaker 2>Like that's probably what's gonna happen. At least those that

728
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:57.039
<v Speaker 2>are that you know, vocal and that loud. But it's

729
00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:00.440
<v Speaker 2>not just like, yeah, we'll see what happens. But I'm

730
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:03.599
<v Speaker 2>confident in who I voted for and I feel good

731
00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:06.119
<v Speaker 2>about it. It's not that it's like, oh, wow, they're

732
00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:12.119
<v Speaker 2>panicking over there. I mean, that's that to me, even

733
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:15.320
<v Speaker 2>as somebody who does not follow like politics that closely

734
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:18.760
<v Speaker 2>and don't have a lot of memories of previous elections

735
00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:21.719
<v Speaker 2>that stand out, this to me seems often where it's

736
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:27.519
<v Speaker 2>it's this level of like, you know, seemingly thinking the

737
00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:29.960
<v Speaker 2>other side is delusional to think they have a chance.

738
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Without saying who I voted for. I don't think the

739
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:34.840
<v Speaker 3>person I voted for is gonna win. Okay, that's kind

740
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:35.960
<v Speaker 3>of the opposite of what you're saying.

741
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:39.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you're also not, you know, a lunatic on

742
00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:40.440
<v Speaker 2>the internet, like a lot of people.

743
00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:40.639
<v Speaker 1>Right.

744
00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:42.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm not trying to say, yeah, that's interesting that

745
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:43.880
<v Speaker 3>I have that other perspective.

746
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I know what you mean. Yeah, I'll admit I have

747
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:48.360
<v Speaker 2>no clue. I wouldn't. I have no clue. We'll find out,

748
00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:50.639
<v Speaker 2>and I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and probably have the

749
00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:52.920
<v Speaker 2>same day I would regardless. That's just how I see it.

750
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:56.000
<v Speaker 2>And if I'm an idiot, you know, I guess I'm

751
00:36:56.000 --> 00:37:00.320
<v Speaker 2>guilty of that. One thing I don't understand, though, is

752
00:37:03.079 --> 00:37:06.760
<v Speaker 2>paying so many celebrities to endorse certain candidates. Like celebrities

753
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:10.119
<v Speaker 2>are people themselves, but like talk about getting advice about

754
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:12.599
<v Speaker 2>who you should vote for with somebody who's insanely not

755
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:15.519
<v Speaker 2>relatable to you, like they're they're not relatable to the

756
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:18.400
<v Speaker 2>vast majority of society. And there may be great people,

757
00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:21.639
<v Speaker 2>but like, I can't imagine having like a celebrity be

758
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:24.480
<v Speaker 2>the be the final you know, the final factor, and

759
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:27.039
<v Speaker 2>me coming to a decision or something like that. But anyways,

760
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:30.599
<v Speaker 2>happy election to everybody. Let's let's all have a good

761
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:33.159
<v Speaker 2>evening and and be be good to each other. Have

762
00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:33.599
<v Speaker 2>a good night.
