Speaker 1: Here we go, five o'clock on a Friday, thanks for
Speaker 1: hanging out with us. As we uh, we've got one
Speaker 1: more hour before we get out of here for the weekend.
Speaker 1: It's like the Bullet County just came out of me
Speaker 1: right there. We got another r another hour, the show,
Speaker 1: another are. Uh, there's no U in that ano there
Speaker 1: are It's kind of like an area of Bullet County
Speaker 1: Mount Washington. That's what a lot of people who love
Speaker 1: Warshingtons call it. Yeah and uh uh, I remember it's stood.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things where I kind of like
Speaker 1: stopped in my tracks and tracks and realized, Okay, that
Speaker 1: sounded really bad, and I kind of think that that
Speaker 1: wasn't just like a slip up. I think that's kind
Speaker 1: of how I say it. So now I'm really really
Speaker 1: self conscious about a certain word oil, because I would
Speaker 1: say old get go, get your old change, get you
Speaker 1: old changed.
Speaker 2: I feel like you gotta you really gotta go the
Speaker 2: extra mile to say oil. It just comes out of
Speaker 2: my mouth.
Speaker 3: As all all all.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So they used to make fun of me in Arizona
Speaker 3: for saying that.
Speaker 1: All. They don't like that twang. Huh.
Speaker 3: They're not huge on it.
Speaker 1: Well, they are probably enjoying much better weather there right
Speaker 1: now than we are.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they're laughing at us. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: They might be freezing in that that forty nine degree
Speaker 2: fifty one degree weather. You know, those Arizonians, they're spoiled. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean I saw earlier. I pulled out my phone
Speaker 2: to look at the weather for the next week, and
Speaker 2: I think next week we're gonna be like more so
Speaker 2: in the forties, maybe one day in like the fifties,
Speaker 2: which isn't like great, but man, it's a big upgrade.
Speaker 1: Than what we've had the last few days. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't I mean, I'm getting soft man, because I've
Speaker 1: always loved cold weather, not to where I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: give me, give me negative wind chill. But you know,
Speaker 1: this time of the year, the wind or the winter
Speaker 1: and the snow, I just think it's beautiful. I love Christmas,
Speaker 1: and I've usually been you know, not I don't walk
Speaker 1: outside in ten degree temperature and say, hell, yeah, this
Speaker 1: is great. I love it. But I've just been able
Speaker 1: to kind of, like, you know, find the positives of
Speaker 1: it as far as the Christmas season, and I think
Speaker 1: snow is beautiful. I love snow days when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, but man, this week has really kicked my
Speaker 1: ass to where I'm like, yeah, I'm not built like
Speaker 1: I once was. I'm not ready for this cold weather.
Speaker 1: But we have actually had to be honest with the
Speaker 1: last few days been crazy cold.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the wind doesn't help either. It's been a
Speaker 3: wind chill.
Speaker 1: Like last night, whenever I was leaving dinner with the family,
Speaker 1: I mean, I realized I was the one visibly like
Speaker 1: bothered by the cold more so than my young children
Speaker 1: and my wife. And I'm like, damn, you gotta got
Speaker 1: tough enough. It's gonna be. We're only at December. We
Speaker 1: haven't even got to like the most brutal stretches of winter, which,
Speaker 1: to be honest, though, I don't think we'll have many
Speaker 1: days that could be as cold as we've had the
Speaker 1: last few as far as windshield, because it's been in
Speaker 1: like the twenties thirties, but the wind shill has been
Speaker 1: even worse than that. So anyways, it's probably really cold
Speaker 1: outside right now, and I'm happy that I'm here in
Speaker 1: front of a a little cold, little little space here
Speaker 1: all right, it's coffee and company. We are feel about
Speaker 1: Thorton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety nit Coffee Thugh
Speaker 1: Austin Montgomery alongside as we take him till six o'clock,
Speaker 1: get you out of here for the weekend, A big
Speaker 1: weekend it is. I found myself listening to the Pat
Speaker 1: McAfee show earlier today, and I don't usually listen to
Speaker 1: to Pat McAfee, not not because you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect for what he's been
Speaker 1: able to carve out, and his career has taken off
Speaker 1: and he's a big time star. It's just not really
Speaker 1: something I seek out when it comes to listening to
Speaker 1: his show. But I did have it on on YouTube
Speaker 1: earlier when I was down here in my home studio
Speaker 1: getting some things rearranged, and Nick Saban was on with him,
Speaker 1: and then SANKI Commissioner Greg Sankee if the SEC was
Speaker 1: on with him, and I found myself really just wanting to,
Speaker 1: you know, disagree with a lot of the things that
Speaker 1: were said, especially by Sanki. But I'm torn because I
Speaker 1: don't think that the SEC should get beneficial treatment based
Speaker 1: off of the league just always being believed to be
Speaker 1: the best league in college football, which it is. I
Speaker 1: also don't think that any of that should matter. You
Speaker 1: should not get the benefit of the doubt from what
Speaker 1: you've done in previous seasons results in this current season,
Speaker 1: it should all that is all that should factor into
Speaker 1: the college football playoff. But I was a little torn,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, because I do believe that the teams
Speaker 1: in the SEC that have taken two or three losses
Speaker 1: are better than some of the teams that are in
Speaker 1: a better position seemingly in these rankings, that are in
Speaker 1: the Big ten, or maybe even you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe even in actually I guess it's just the Big Ten,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, or Notre Dame, like Notre Dame,
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like they've they've somehow Notre Dame
Speaker 1: used to be the team that everybody would lose their
Speaker 1: mind about when it comes to like they always get,
Speaker 1: you know, special treatment, and why are we going to
Speaker 1: put them in again? They're just gonna get the rest kicked,
Speaker 1: And like, I feel like they've been just kind of
Speaker 1: sliding under the radar as a team that has you know,
Speaker 1: a decent win. They're winning against Texas A and M
Speaker 1: is all right, but other than that, what's their best win?
Speaker 1: Louisville USC. I mean us see them wants to get
Speaker 1: rid of Lincoln Riley, but they can't. So like Notre
Speaker 1: Dame has a loss to Northern Illinois and they've just
Speaker 1: kind of been planted in there and nobody seems to
Speaker 1: bring them up, which doesn't matter. You complaining about it
Speaker 1: wouldn't change the committee's mind. But I think because they're
Speaker 1: the only independent that's ever going to have a shot,
Speaker 1: that they're kind of just penciled in now. And look,
Speaker 1: they're not penciled in no matter what happens. But they
Speaker 1: started out ranked in a good spot and they never
Speaker 1: lost after the NIU game, and that's just led to
Speaker 1: them being able to kind of just have a firm
Speaker 1: spot in this playoff that nobody's questioning. But like, if
Speaker 1: they get blown out in their first game, whoever they
Speaker 1: end up playing, like, I wouldn't be shocked at all,
Speaker 1: because I don't think Notre Dame is really that good.
Speaker 1: So I don't think that the SEC is like a
Speaker 1: fraud league and that people who claim that it's the
Speaker 1: best league or out of their mind, because I think
Speaker 1: it is the best league, but it shouldn't. You shouldn't
Speaker 1: just like these coaches, I get while they're lobbying for
Speaker 1: their school, Like I get all that, I got. Some
Speaker 1: of the stuff that's put out there is kind of nonsense,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Like Lane Kiffin doing Lane
Speaker 1: Kiff and stuff. I mean, he's kind of in a
Speaker 1: different different lane. No pun intended, because he's just he's
Speaker 1: a character himself. But you know, seeing what the head
Speaker 1: coach at South Carolina has been saying, Shane Beemer, like,
Speaker 1: I get why coaches are gonna do that. Why would
Speaker 1: you not use your platform to say something that might
Speaker 1: actually impact the committee's decision, might impact their way of
Speaker 1: looking at it, like there's no harm in trying, But
Speaker 1: more often than not, they just throw out the well
Speaker 1: you can't tell me, well, yeah I can, like I mean,
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, Like I can tell you that you got
Speaker 1: three losses and that's all that matters, Like you're you
Speaker 1: know what it could have should have? And it all
Speaker 1: comes back to if, in fact, these coaches that just
Speaker 1: want to yell aloud, yell at the top of their lungs,
Speaker 1: like look at our league, Look how great it is.
Speaker 1: What do you mean you're telling me a Penn State
Speaker 1: team and an Indiana team, they're they're better you you
Speaker 1: know you're not wrong, but again, like why play the
Speaker 1: games like you know you're in the SEC. You know
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a tough schedule if you have three
Speaker 1: losses and a Big ten team has one? Like sorry,
Speaker 1: And they always are very selective about what they choose
Speaker 1: to include in what they choose to leave out, like
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin. I mean, he went on his whole rant
Speaker 1: about how the SEC you know, about how his team
Speaker 1: should be in, and just kind of left out that
Speaker 1: he lost at home to a terrible Kentucky team like
Speaker 1: you have. And that's what's crazy is that, like that
Speaker 1: lost to Kentucky for Ole Miss is substantially worse than
Speaker 1: the Alabama loss to Vandy. It's substantially worse than the
Speaker 1: Alabama lost to Oklahoma. Like your lost to Kentucky is
Speaker 1: probably the worst power for loss of any team that
Speaker 1: is in the top fifteen or twenty. No. I mean,
Speaker 1: I notre name is in there, but they're not. I
Speaker 1: mean they're a power they're a power team, but not
Speaker 1: in a power conference. So I'll bring all this up
Speaker 1: to say, I think the real issue here is that
Speaker 1: people can claim that the AP pole is meaningless now,
Speaker 1: it's worthless. It's not at all. I mean it. You
Speaker 1: know how often times into life have you heard people
Speaker 1: say that, you know, perception is reality. Well, the perception
Speaker 1: of these teams is based off the preseason ap pole,
Speaker 1: and teams just start out at certain spots, and the
Speaker 1: committee isn't supposed to reference that, but you know they do,
Speaker 1: or they maybe they don't pull it up in their
Speaker 1: meetings and reference it, but like it's in their mind.
Speaker 1: Penn State was a preseason top ten team, right, Penn
Speaker 1: State hasn't done a damn thing this year to earn anything.
Speaker 1: They've beaten teams on their schedule that they're supposed to beat.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're a bad team, but Penn State's
Speaker 1: the best example of a team that is quite literally
Speaker 1: going to get into the playoff because of where they
Speaker 1: started out.
Speaker 3: In the rankings.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just the way it is now. They
Speaker 1: did kind of fall into the Big Ten Championship game
Speaker 1: because Ohio State lost to Michigan. But like I think
Speaker 1: the ap pole, like we should have no ranking at
Speaker 1: all of anything until we get the College Football Playoff rankings.
Speaker 1: Whenever they give us the first edition of it, and
Speaker 1: you can't stop anybody from putting out I mean, I
Speaker 1: could put out a top twenty five every day. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody would give a damn and I
Speaker 1: wouldn't blame them, But I'm just saying, like, you can't
Speaker 1: stop the AP poll from happening. But that kind of
Speaker 1: stuff that people just claim is meaningless, it is. It
Speaker 1: isn't because again it creates there's not enough data points
Speaker 1: within a twelve game college football season for there to
Speaker 1: be a whole lot of shakeup. So again, Penn State's
Speaker 1: the best example. They have remained where they are based
Speaker 1: off of just being that highly ranked when it started.
Speaker 1: The only losses that they have, in fact, do they
Speaker 1: have one loss or two? I think Penn State has
Speaker 1: just the one loss to Ohio State at just one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the other wins. I mean, what's Penn State's best win.
Speaker 1: I mean, we pull it up here. And I'm not
Speaker 1: picking on them because you know, Indiana could be in
Speaker 1: the same boat. Indiana has no win word to.
Speaker 3: Speaking USC when they were ranked, that's like the.
Speaker 1: Only yeah, and they should have lost they were I
Speaker 1: think they were getting killed early down. Yes, yeah, Like
Speaker 1: if you're propping up USC as your best win, like
Speaker 1: that's kind of telling. But again, there's not enough to
Speaker 1: move them out because in the same thing with Indiana,
Speaker 1: Indiana doesn't have the same situation. They didn't start at
Speaker 1: highly ranked, but Indiana just kept winning and having a
Speaker 1: really gutty record and it wasn't that they were beating
Speaker 1: teams that were jumping them up. But sure enough, you
Speaker 1: get to the end of the year, there's only a
Speaker 1: handful of teams that don't have a loss. They're one
Speaker 1: of them, and they happen to play in the Big Ten.
Speaker 1: So it's really there's really it's really nobody's fault. That's
Speaker 1: just we put together this college football playoff with everything
Speaker 1: being so subjective, and I know at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, we're gonna get some really good football games.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have teams playing on their state, on their
Speaker 1: campus and their home stadium for a college football playoff game.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be awesome. But also, I mean you got
Speaker 1: to keep in mind, like I don't know if people
Speaker 1: are gonna claim that the process and how they decided,
Speaker 1: like how this all came together was the right way now,
Speaker 1: well probably won't really care when it's all said and done,
Speaker 1: because there's gonna be nobody left out of the field
Speaker 1: of twelve that you feel like could actually win the
Speaker 1: national championship. I mean, we won't know that for certain,
Speaker 1: but I don't think you're gonna be able to make
Speaker 1: a great case to where you can say they didn't
Speaker 1: get in. In man, they could have won it all.
Speaker 1: I mean, you might find somebody making that argument. So
Speaker 1: I think just those that want to tune in and
Speaker 1: watch and enjoy the college Football Playoff expanded to twelve teams,
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be entertained, and I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be great. You're gonna always find fans out there
Speaker 1: that feel like their team didn't get a fair look
Speaker 1: because of the bias towards the SEC or whatever it
Speaker 1: may be. But I just, I mean, I want them
Speaker 1: to revisit it. Not because I think, you know, my
Speaker 1: team was screwed or any certain team was screwed. But
Speaker 1: this was a real eye opener to just how subjective
Speaker 1: this is, to where like, if you're gonna have a
Speaker 1: committee to it, just tell us from the jump you're
Speaker 1: not taking you know, You're you're just gonna base it
Speaker 1: off of what you believe in, what you think, and
Speaker 1: that's that's just it, because there are so many examples
Speaker 1: of things you can't make sense of, and these are teams.
Speaker 1: There's teams that I think are incorrectly ranked, but they're
Speaker 1: not in the top twelve, they're not in the top fifteen.
Speaker 1: They're like, you know, fifteen to twenty five. But it
Speaker 1: still just shows that, like there's got to be a
Speaker 1: better way to determine who is the twelve best teams.
Speaker 1: But more people talking about it is better for the product.
Speaker 1: And there's going to be a ton of people that
Speaker 1: watch it, so they're probably not viewing this as I
Speaker 1: mean if people are complaining about the process and complaining
Speaker 1: about certain teams not getting in, but yet you still
Speaker 1: got countless people watching it, and it's a huge success
Speaker 1: when it comes to ratings and viewership. That's all they
Speaker 1: care about. All right, quick break, We'll go back on
Speaker 1: the other side. Talk a little basketball. Louisvill's got do
Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday. Yikes. Hopefully they can win, but
Speaker 1: I don't believe they will. But I was wrong about
Speaker 1: the Indiana game. I thought that would be a loss,
Speaker 1: and they killed them. So maybe we get the same result.
Speaker 1: I doubt it, but we shall see Kentucky's guy Gain
Speaker 1: Zagamar and I. That's a big game and something else
Speaker 1: I want to get to. We'll get an update to
Speaker 1: this drama. If you guys haven't heard, there's a standoff
Speaker 1: between Mike Gundy and Oklahoma State Bill Belichick interviewed for
Speaker 1: the North Carolina job. That's insane, So we'll try to
Speaker 1: finish strong here on a Friday, it's Coffee and Company.
Speaker 1: Feel about Thorton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Coffee and Company with Nick Coffee on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day. I am someone that is
Speaker 1: very appreciative of everything that I have I do. You know,
Speaker 1: I've got a lot to be thankful for. But at
Speaker 1: times there are some things that I see that I
Speaker 1: read about that really just remind me of how poor
Speaker 1: I am compared to, you know, those that have an
Speaker 1: insane amount of money. And this story here is one
Speaker 1: of those things that has made me feel like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't feel that poor. I just feel like I'll
Speaker 1: never be able to relate to this. So I guess
Speaker 1: more than anything, there's just some jealousy. But this story
Speaker 1: is wild So ESPN dot com is reporting that there's
Speaker 1: a better, a sports better in the state of Kentucky,
Speaker 1: right here in our state, that has made an insane wager,
Speaker 1: meaning an insane amount of money. There is a gentleman
Speaker 1: here in Kentucky that is bet three point one million
Speaker 1: dollars on the Eagles to defeat the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Speaker 1: It's one of the largest bets ever reported on an
Speaker 1: NFL regular season game. Circa Sports took the wager on
Speaker 1: the Eagles money line yesterday afternoon at minus seven hundred odds,
Speaker 1: which means this this person would net about four hundred
Speaker 1: and forty three thousand dollars. So says here's the bet.
Speaker 1: The bet for a Sunday's game in Philadelphia is believed
Speaker 1: to be one of the largest ever placed on an
Speaker 1: NFL regular season contest. There have been larger bets placed
Speaker 1: on the Super Bowl, but not regular season. So just say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got to play here. Let me drop three point
Speaker 1: one million on it. Like, imagine what kind of money
Speaker 1: you have to blow Now, it is a safe assumption
Speaker 1: that they will win that game. It may be the
Speaker 1: safest money line bet you'll find on the NFL schedule
Speaker 1: this week. But imagine if it doesn't hit and you've
Speaker 1: just lost three point one million dollars. Also, just kind
Speaker 1: of thinking out loud here, I wouldn't be shocked if
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, I shouldn't have said. I'm
Speaker 1: going to back up a second. I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: I was gonna say. But I realize now that it
Speaker 1: probably would have been maybe not foolish to say. But
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people have a lot of money
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't know about, like people who are really rich,
Speaker 1: really wealthy, I should say, because I think wealth's a
Speaker 1: little bit of a different level than just rich. And
Speaker 1: I guess it's all subjective to what you think is
Speaker 1: rich and what you think is wealthy. But I just
Speaker 1: feel like that's somebody we may know, Like he may
Speaker 1: be somebody that is because you could be one of
Speaker 1: the top ten most you know, the wealthiest people in
Speaker 1: the state of Kentucky, and there's a good chance people
Speaker 1: know who you are because you've probably had a very
Speaker 1: successful business, maybe you come from a very wealthy family.
Speaker 1: But I'm just dying to know who this person is,
Speaker 1: and maybe we find out, maybe it's already out there
Speaker 1: and I just haven't seen it yet, but yes, three
Speaker 1: point one million dollars slightly more than I've ever wagered
Speaker 1: on on a game. I mean the most I've ever bet.
Speaker 1: It's probably one hundred bucks and it was technically like
Speaker 1: my money that I bet with, But that's money that like,
Speaker 1: I'm betting after I've already been on a streak, like
Speaker 1: when the when the the account has has has gotten
Speaker 1: a little healthy, you know what I'm saying, gotten gotten
Speaker 1: to where I can I can take that kind of
Speaker 1: a risk, And yes, it is a big risk, but
Speaker 1: it's not to the point where like I'm now gutted
Speaker 1: and I have no money left in the.
Speaker 3: Account, when you have some house money exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that house money. So yeah, I'm now
Speaker 1: I mean, am I an a hole for wanting the
Speaker 1: Panthers to win? Yeah, like I just you know, I
Speaker 1: am a loser going to happen. I am a loser
Speaker 1: for that because all that would do was mean that
Speaker 1: the books are getting healthy and we're not. And technically
Speaker 1: it's always going to be us against the books, right,
Speaker 1: we got to ride and hope to take them down.
Speaker 1: And so far, despite the fun and the enjoyment that
Speaker 1: we get from wagering on sports and some of the
Speaker 1: money we've been able to put in our pockets. There's
Speaker 1: doing a lot better than us. It's a very profitable
Speaker 1: business for those that are you know in the UH
Speaker 1: in the sports betting world.
Speaker 2: Did you did you win that one hundred dollars bet? Yes, okay,
Speaker 2: I'll look at that.
Speaker 1: I I had this was in never got that one.
Speaker 1: I had two straight years. And I'll explain myself because
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want you know, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't bet that. I mean usually I'm betting ten fifteen
Speaker 1: bucks twenty occasionally, and it just depends on, you know,
Speaker 1: what what the action is. But I for two straight
Speaker 1: years in two thousand and twenty two. In twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: I had a really really good run in college basketball
Speaker 1: where I was doing well in the regular season and
Speaker 1: then I did really well in the tournament and then
Speaker 1: I would just cash out. So before it was legal,
Speaker 1: and I used to be UH, I used to be
Speaker 1: affiliated with Fandel Sportsbook. We would go to the Beltaia
Speaker 1: Casino do some shows. You came out and did a
Speaker 1: show with this one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 1: Uh. That was awesome, And I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: it felt I don't know, this is weird, but for
Speaker 1: some reason bet when it wasn't legal in Kentucky and
Speaker 1: we had to cross state lines to do it, it
Speaker 1: was more fun. It wasn't convenient. It was silly that
Speaker 1: other states were benefiting from it. Like the convenience is
Speaker 1: better now and I wouldn't have it any other way,
Speaker 1: knowing I can just pop open an app and do
Speaker 1: it from the comfort of my home, or go to
Speaker 1: a sports book here and do it. But there was
Speaker 1: something about like feeling like you were breaking the law. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you're doing something under your parents knows. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it just felt kind of awesome. When you
Speaker 1: would win, It's like you were stealing money or something.
Speaker 1: So what I did was I would build up to
Speaker 1: where during the regular season I would have you know,
Speaker 1: I'd have losses along the way, but like I would
Speaker 1: have a pretty decent amount of money in the account
Speaker 1: to where I knew going in for two straight years.
Speaker 1: All right, Look, I don't bet on anything other than
Speaker 1: college basketball in college football, the NFL, and college basketball
Speaker 1: is about to be over. So I'm going to empty
Speaker 1: out the account after it's done, so I knew, okay,
Speaker 1: I've got this much. Like. So what I did was
Speaker 1: I put one hundred dollars on every I did a
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars parlay on every Sweet sixteen game, and
Speaker 1: I got all of them right.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: I remember that, yeah, And I like I ended up.
Speaker 1: I ended up doing the Elite eight games, and I
Speaker 1: got one of the day one of the days of
Speaker 1: Elite Eight games. I did another parlay and got that right.
Speaker 1: I did not get the other day of the Elite
Speaker 1: Eight games correct. And then in the Final four it's
Speaker 1: just two games, of course, I got those two right.
Speaker 1: And then in the championship game, I took North Carolina
Speaker 1: money line over Kansas and they were up double digits
Speaker 1: at halftime and lost and they were underdogs, by the way,
Speaker 1: So that fell apart. But at that point I think
Speaker 1: i'd put like sixty or seventy on it. But I
Speaker 1: was still able to. I was still able to end
Speaker 1: the college basketball season after the National Championship game and
Speaker 1: withdraw what was left in my account, and it was
Speaker 1: like twenty eight hundred bucks. Like it was a you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys, but that was a
Speaker 1: lot of money for me, and I had another year
Speaker 1: before that where I did not that good but decent,
Speaker 1: you know, not that good, not that much money, but
Speaker 1: still doing well. And then last year I made a
Speaker 1: little bit of money, but you know, it was not
Speaker 1: anything close to what I had done before. So for
Speaker 1: some reason, I was better at betting on college basketball
Speaker 1: before we you know, we had we could legally do
Speaker 1: it here. But yeah, just seeing somebody bet three point
Speaker 1: one million dollars gives me anxiety, Like it's not my money.
Speaker 1: And if you have that money to bet, then you're
Speaker 1: you're clearly doing okay or you've I mean, can you
Speaker 1: what what's the scenario where that bet is not just
Speaker 1: like play money?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you have three million of.
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody's already brought up a point on the
Speaker 1: text line that that I that that I don't quite understand,
Speaker 1: but like maybe it's like a desperation because they need that. No,
Speaker 1: you're not desperately betting three million dollars because you need
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty four grand, Like it just it's
Speaker 1: you know, I I don't know why that would be.
Speaker 1: It didn't make any sense to me, Like, you know,
Speaker 1: like they're claiming that this is that they got it.
Speaker 1: They need this much money right away. Well, no, they
Speaker 1: already have that much money because they're betting three million
Speaker 1: dollars like it's it's insane. I will say this, I
Speaker 1: remember that year that I'm that I'm referring to where
Speaker 1: I did really well. I did. I mean, this probably
Speaker 1: won't sound believable to some people, but I did bet
Speaker 1: on Kenny Payne once because I had a buddy who
Speaker 1: was going in with like five six guys to where
Speaker 1: they were putting up a lot of money on one bet.
Speaker 1: Like I've never I have friends who we we ride
Speaker 1: each other's parlays and we when we you know, we
Speaker 1: share gambling picks and that kind of stuff. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like a it's something I really enjoy doing. But
Speaker 1: I've never, like, you know, met up with guys and
Speaker 1: been like, all right, we're putting you put this much
Speaker 1: money in ten grand this and that. But I don't
Speaker 1: and I still don't know what the amount of money was.
Speaker 1: But I got a phone call. Uh because I know
Speaker 1: this guy through another friend, and I would say, he's
Speaker 1: a he's a he's an acquaintance, he's a friend of
Speaker 1: mine too, but like we don't talk on the phone,
Speaker 1: but he got my number and he called me. He
Speaker 1: was like, hey, nick, I got somebuddies here were thinking
Speaker 1: of taking louis of money line tonight. What do you think.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, do you know Kenny Paynes the coach,
Speaker 1: and that they're one of the worst teams in the
Speaker 1: country and they only have three wins on the season,
Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, but we think that they
Speaker 1: may get it done, Tony, and I'm like, well, I mean,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it, but if you were going to
Speaker 1: take a risk, this would probably be the right time
Speaker 1: to do it. Because it was Louisville Clemson. It was
Speaker 1: the night the twenty thirteen team was honored more fans
Speaker 1: than ever there for that team, meaning that bad team,
Speaker 1: not the Louisville team that won the title, And there
Speaker 1: was good energy and they played well and they won,
Speaker 1: and he ended up calling in the postgame show and
Speaker 1: he didn't disclose the numbers. But I couldn't tell him
Speaker 1: to take that bet and then me not take it myself.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I feel really bad giving you
Speaker 1: any kind of advice, and they were like, oh no,
Speaker 1: trust me, Like we know the risk going in, but
Speaker 1: we just, you know, we didn't know if maybe you
Speaker 1: were aware of an injury or something or a player
Speaker 1: not playing. And I'm like, no, I just know that
Speaker 1: they're bad. But I said, you know, maybe there is
Speaker 1: going to be some magic there because they are honoring
Speaker 1: the twenty thirteen national championship team, and they did, and
Speaker 1: I've put fifty on that and it paid. I mean,
Speaker 1: Louis was as you could expect. Louill was big time
Speaker 1: underdogs in that game. So I put fifty on it
Speaker 1: and that paid pretty handsomely. I was at a derby
Speaker 1: party last year at it was this guy's house who
Speaker 1: I was at that did this bet him and his buddies,
Speaker 1: and I overheard them discussing what the total payout was
Speaker 1: for that, and I felt poor again. And it also
Speaker 1: made me say, like, look, guys, I know I can't
Speaker 1: match what everybody's putting up, but like, man, maybe I
Speaker 1: should have said, you know, maybe I should have got
Speaker 1: like a finder's fear or something. But I ended up
Speaker 1: doing it and it paid out. But yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't bet a lot of money, but whoever's bet
Speaker 1: three million on one bet they're doing well when it
Speaker 1: comes to comes to money. All right, fellas, listen up,
Speaker 1: we need to talk about something. Let's talk about sex.
Speaker 1: Not you know, in that weird way. We're not doing that.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, perverts, once you grow up.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about having a healthy, healthy sex life with
Speaker 1: your partner. Isn't that what you want? It's a big
Speaker 1: part of relationships, right, I mean, at least it should be.
Speaker 1: I think, well, what if I told you that you
Speaker 1: could make the experience not only better for yourself, but
Speaker 1: better for your partner. And as I often say, when
Speaker 1: you are working hard and you're doing well when it
Speaker 1: comes to performance, it's likely going to lead to you
Speaker 1: getting more repetition. It's going to lead to you getting
Speaker 1: more opportunities. Just think about you on a team, right,
Speaker 1: you play well, it's likely going to turn into you
Speaker 1: get more playing time, more opportunity. Same thing in the bedroom, right,
Speaker 1: So if the sex is better for not just you
Speaker 1: but your partner, then you're probably going to get more
Speaker 1: action and Bluechoo can help you do exactly that. So
Speaker 1: blue Choo has been around for a few years now.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys have heard of it, But if
Speaker 1: you haven't, let me tell you all about it. It
Speaker 1: is a unique online subscription service that provides the same
Speaker 1: active ingredients that you get in viagrant Cialis, but it's
Speaker 1: in a little chewable blue pill, and it's at a
Speaker 1: fraction of the cost that you're going to pay for
Speaker 1: the other products like viagran Cialis. So they've got the
Speaker 1: subscription service set up to where they bring it right
Speaker 1: to your door. You have to go to the doctor
Speaker 1: have that awkward conversation, you have to go to the
Speaker 1: pharmacy and wait in line, and you know, it's a
Speaker 1: very discreet situation because I think there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people that one might need Bluehoe to help them when
Speaker 1: it comes to performance, which, hey, that's okay, that's part
Speaker 1: of it. But also you don't have to think about
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have to think about it being
Speaker 1: something that you have to have in order to, you know,
Speaker 1: to actually get the job done, if you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I'm trying to think of the right words
Speaker 1: to describe this without making it super awkward. But look,
Speaker 1: let's just be real. Sex is great, but what if
Speaker 1: you could make it better? Don't think about you needing it,
Speaker 1: because without it, you can't perform. It's to make the
Speaker 1: performance better. It's to enhance the experience. And I love
Speaker 1: that they've really emphasized the messaging with their product because
Speaker 1: there are a lot of guys who are popping these
Speaker 1: things every night. Not because without it they wouldn't be
Speaker 1: able to, you know, stand tall and get the job done.
Speaker 1: It's because it's making it better for everybody, so you know,
Speaker 1: get rid of that stigma. It's not just for those
Speaker 1: that might. It's not for those that might actually gosh,
Speaker 1: that's awful. Hello, I'm doing a live read for Blue
Speaker 1: Choo as my as my eight year old daughter walks
Speaker 1: in the studio, very very awkward, very awkward, very awkward. Sorry,
Speaker 1: blue Choo, did you hear her? I thought I heard
Speaker 1: something as I'm telling the radio audience how they can
Speaker 1: perform better in the bedroom. God bless America. All right,
Speaker 1: So again, Blue Choo, Blue Choo is there for you guys.
Speaker 1: Now she's gonna ask me what that is. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a whole thing. Goodness. I'm a little I'm a
Speaker 1: little uh, I'm a little rattled here.
Speaker 3: Got a bunch of funny things I can now.
Speaker 1: She thinks she's in trouble. So I feel bad because
Speaker 1: I didn't. I just looked like I saw a ghost
Speaker 1: and didn't say.
Speaker 3: It's almost like getting caught so bad.
Speaker 1: So anyways, blue Choo, it's great. They're gonna let you
Speaker 1: try it for free. That's how much they believe in
Speaker 1: their product. All you have to do is go to
Speaker 1: bluetoo dot com and use my code Nick seven ninety
Speaker 1: at checkout, and all you'll do is pay five bucks shipping.
Speaker 1: It's just the five bucks to get it to you.
Speaker 1: But they believe in it that much they're going to

Speaker 1: dot Com promo code Nick seven ninety blue Chew, chew
Speaker 1: it and do it. I got to get to a
Speaker 1: break and regroup. Here it's Coffee and Company. We're feel
Speaker 1: abut Thortons right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Coffee and Company with Nick Coffee on
Speaker 3: Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna finish strong here and utilize the
Speaker 1: little time we have left before we get out of
Speaker 1: here for the weekend. Just some news on the gambling
Speaker 1: side if you are just now joining us. In fact,
Speaker 1: I'm just mentioning this for the first time, so maybe
Speaker 1: maybe we're maybe And I'm still very rattled about what
Speaker 1: just happened a moment ago, and then I went upstairs
Speaker 1: and yelled at my wife and now feel bad for
Speaker 1: doing that. So if you missed it, you missed it.
Speaker 1: You can check it out on the podcast as to
Speaker 1: what happened during the last segment. But anyways, Kentucky opens
Speaker 1: up his four and a half point underdog stick and
Speaker 1: zagat tomorrow Loisville. Because they don't play until Sunday, we
Speaker 1: don't have a spread just yet in this duke matchup.
Speaker 1: But for what it's worth, the Ken Palm has this
Speaker 1: Louisville duke matchup. Let's see, I'm going to go sure
Speaker 1: a level drop by the way, quite a bit in
Speaker 1: the kin Pom after losing to Ole Miss the way
Speaker 1: they did. But the duke score is projected to be
Speaker 1: seventy four to sixty six in favor of the Blue Devils,
Speaker 1: so an eight point loss according to the formula. If
Speaker 1: that happens, I'm not going to celebrate and throw a party,
Speaker 1: but like that wouldn't be the end of the world,
Speaker 1: because that would be a loss to where you don't
Speaker 1: probably fall a whole lot when it comes comes to
Speaker 1: the metrics. But real quick, the championship games this weekend
Speaker 1: in college football, We've actually got one tonight. We've got
Speaker 1: a couple of them tonight. Actually, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: get to the low level conferences, but as far as
Speaker 1: UNLV Boise State, it's Boise minus four and a half.
Speaker 1: You got anything here? I'm not gonna touch it, but
Speaker 1: I would probably I'd probably take Boise minus four and
Speaker 1: a half here, What do you think?
Speaker 3: Boys?
Speaker 1: UNLV minus four and four and a half seems like
Speaker 1: a decent number for Boise State, but I don't know
Speaker 1: they were. They should have beat Oregon. They were super
Speaker 1: competitive in that one. To where I'm choosing to believe
Speaker 1: in Boise.
Speaker 2: I can kind of see if there is any team
Speaker 2: to possibly drop off, it could be Boise State. I
Speaker 2: feel like you and LV they probably have the best
Speaker 2: upset potential.
Speaker 3: I would be mad at taking those points.
Speaker 1: Okay, now, Army in Tulane. Nobody wants to go against
Speaker 1: the Army.
Speaker 3: They are the Army betteror not.
Speaker 1: But I like Tulane a lot. Here, two Lane minus
Speaker 1: five and a half. It's more points than I would
Speaker 1: have that I would want to take, but I would
Speaker 1: say too, if I had to take it, I would
Speaker 1: take two lane minus five and a half. Now, I
Speaker 1: always stayed. Arizona State is the Big twelve championship game tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Arizona State favored by one and a half. They've got
Speaker 1: all the momentum right now. Kenny Dillingham really has done
Speaker 1: a phenomenal job there this season. Iowa State. This to me,
Speaker 1: this reminds me that I've not watched much Big twelve
Speaker 1: ball at all this year, so I've seen Arizona State
Speaker 1: more recently, and I'm gonna I'm gonna roll with them
Speaker 1: just because they have momentum. You got to play here
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 3: I will hold on.
Speaker 2: Let me go ahead and flip that go ahead and
Speaker 2: give me Boise State to cover. And then this is
Speaker 2: the upset potential right here with Iowa State, I think
Speaker 2: with Kenny Dillingham, and then you got Arizona State, they're
Speaker 2: the darlings this year. I do kind of think that
Speaker 2: he's a little bit of a buffoon. Have you seen
Speaker 2: some of the pictures or videos where he's at practice.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's just he's yelling, he's cussing. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's something. He's a meathead. He's a Dan Campbell of college.
Speaker 2: But I'm just I like Iowa State with the upset potential.
Speaker 1: Okay, and Georgia and Texas. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: how Texas is minus two and a half here. I
Speaker 1: know Georgia has clearly looked more beatable now than they've
Speaker 1: ever looked under Kirby Smart, it seems. But they're still
Speaker 1: really really good and they beat that ass in Austin.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm taking Georgia money line me the dogs now Clemson
Speaker 1: and SMU. I'm taking SMU minus two and a half.
Speaker 1: I'm a believer in this SMU team. And I remember
Speaker 1: we had a guest on earlier this year talking about
Speaker 1: this matchup and him mentioning a lot of the personnel
Speaker 1: they brought in the portal, and it kind of hit
Speaker 1: you know, this is not a P four team that
Speaker 1: you know, this is not a I'm sorry, a G
Speaker 1: five team that jumped up to the Power four with
Speaker 1: a power with you know, with a subpar roster. They've
Speaker 1: got some good players and I think they win this thing.
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't be shocked if they win it by
Speaker 1: more than seven. So have some U minus two and
Speaker 1: a half. I like it. Oregon and Penn State. We've
Speaker 1: got Oregon minus three and a half. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think that's the obvious play. Any chance you think that
Speaker 1: Org I mean Penn State. To me, I can't say
Speaker 1: they're frauds, but like they've all it's hard for me
Speaker 1: to to to think that they could cover that whenever
Speaker 1: they literally haven't done anything this year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's those kind of teams. And yeah, give me,
Speaker 3: give me SMU.
Speaker 2: It's time time to get Clemson out of there, and
Speaker 2: it's time for k club Nick to go get a
Speaker 2: real job. It's time time, buddy.
Speaker 1: It's been a long time. All right, We're we're out
Speaker 1: of time here on our ends, right, Hopefully you guys
Speaker 1: have yourselves a good weekend, stay warm, watch a lot
Speaker 1: of college football, college basketball, and we'll be back at
