WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.080 It's time for coffee and company. Fueled by Thornton's on 2 00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:10.439 Sports Talk seven ninety Holy crap, I don't know who 3 00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:14.400 the hell we think when we are get off our show, idiots. 4 00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:16.920 The kids are crying or turning off. The countries are 5 00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:17.559 screwing it up. 6 00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.879 Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother gold Play inter Murals. 7 00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.000 They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not. 8 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:25.760 Who's the kid here? 9 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:27.640 Who's the kid here? 10 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:45.719 Are you kidding me? Now? Here's Nick Coffee. 11 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.399 So those of you that listen to this show, you know, 12 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.520 somewhat regularly or maybe just here and there, over the years, 13 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.280 you may have heard me mention that I'm not big on, 14 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:59.280 you know, summertime in hot weather. It's odd. Most people 15 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.359 love the sun and hate when it ends, and I'm 16 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:06.799 the opposite. And I got to say, summer has gone 17 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.480 by really fast. It's not really over yet. It's hot 18 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:11.920 as hell outside. We still have a few weeks until 19 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.879 we get to see some football. But school started back 20 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.480 today for my daughter, school here in Jefferson County and 21 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.359 Louisville will be back on Thursday, I believe. And you know, 22 00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.959 summer has you know, completely flown by, which makes me 23 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.439 feel good. I mean, John got me excited yesterday towards 24 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:28.599 the end of the show because what are we less 25 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.040 than three weeks away from some week zero action. 26 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.239 Yeah. Week zero begins on my birthday this year, August 27 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:35.640 twenty fourth. I'm excited about that. 28 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:38.439 I think college football scheduled that just for your birthday. 29 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.920 Absolutely so. Yeah, I feeling good here on a Tuesday, 30 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:48.560 And as school started today, it's you know, it's a 31 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.040 sad day for a lot of kids because they don't 32 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:53.120 want summer break to end. I'm curious how teachers view it, John, 33 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.760 your wife's a teacher. I mean, I feel like there's 34 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.280 probably a little bit of kids still in teachers that 35 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.680 they do enjoy the thought of getting back at it 36 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.959 right and seeing the kids. But I don't know, maybe 37 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.719 they're just like the kids who think, hell no, I 38 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:09.800 wish we had some eight months out of the year. 39 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.479 For my wife, I feel like it's varied year by year. 40 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.080 This year, for her, she's definitely been more on the 41 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.360 anxious side of things, mainly because she feels like the 42 00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.680 summer went by too fast for and you know, it 43 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.240 just kind of depends on the year. For I feel 44 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.520 like probably most teachers, and that's where my wife lands. 45 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.080 So technically, what do you get like two and a 46 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:32.599 half months roughly for a summer break for teachers and students? 47 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.240 Is that about right? I guess it depends on how 48 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:36.800 many snow days you have to make up that kind 49 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:37.240 of stuff. 50 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.080 I think they got out right at the end of May, 51 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.759 right around Memorial Day this past year, if I remember correct. 52 00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.280 Yeah, So you know, it's it goes by quick. And 53 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.240 I'm very lucky because my son hasn't started school yet. 54 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:50.800 Maybe he'll hate it. But my daughter, I mean, she 55 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.080 loves school. For the last two weeks she's known it 56 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.759 was coming up. She asks every night school tomorrow, school tomorrow, 57 00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.280 and you know we had to tell her nope, nope, 58 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.120 and then last night we can tell her yes, in fact, 59 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:05.520 you are starting school to you know today, what she 60 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.639 did starts third grade today. Both my wife and I 61 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.479 dropped her off at school and ran right to the 62 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.159 door and didn't look back, didn't tell us by, and 63 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:18.080 no hugs, no seeing mommy daddy. She was just gone 64 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.840 right to her classroom to see all her friends that 65 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.800 she she missed over the summer. So like you remember, 66 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.919 not that you remember everything about my personal life, John, 67 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:27.319 because you know, I don't know why you would. But 68 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:29.840 do you remember when I talked about going on a 69 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.520 field trip for the first time as a dad on 70 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:31.879 the show. 71 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:33.719 Was it when you went to the zoo? 72 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.159 Yes? Okay, I thank you for so that doesn't feel 73 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.000 like it was that long ago. But yet they were 74 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.599 still in school like that was clearly the last school 75 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.280 year and now there's a new school year. Just crazy 76 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.400 how quickly time goes by. But yeah, we are still 77 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.319 not quite at football season, but man, we're getting closer 78 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.319 and closer, and that has me super excited.

You know that you're somebody 93 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.680 in the radio business, you know what a live read is. 94 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:35.759 And that's not really technically a live read, but you 95 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.920 know it's something that you know. With Thornton's being our 96 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.040 title sponsor, great partners, I got to make sure throughout 97 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.680 the show that you guys know where our bread are. 98 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.439 Bread is buttered, as they say, right, we are proud 99 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.560 partners of Thornton's. I hope they're as proud as we are. 100 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.240 They're probably not, but you know what, will work hard 101 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.439 to make sure they one day share the same level 102 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:57.240 of you know, love we have for them. But again, 103 00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.759 they're great in all seriousness. But that was just something 104 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.720 that routine for me. I've been mentioning Thornton's on this 105 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.040 show for gosh four years now, that's how great they've 106 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.480 been as a partner. They've been loyal and we love them. 107 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.959 But before the show today, I was here earlier than 108 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.959 I usually am because I needed to record, like eight commercials. 109 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.639 I was out last week, and We've got some new 110 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.720 stuff in the works that I'm excited about, and I 111 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.079 gotta I gotta get some commercials recorded so we can 112 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.079 you know, let you guys here during our commercial breaks 113 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.519 about the great partners that we have. And our sales 114 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.800 team does a great job of providing good copy points 115 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.000 scripts essentially, and I prefer a copy point list rather 116 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:36.759 than like a script because then I can, you know, 117 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.759 kind of put it together, riff on my own, make 118 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.000 it seem a little bit more like I'm not reading something. 119 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.879 But I bring all this up to say, I'm really 120 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:50.079 bad at recording something that I'm reading, like I don't 121 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:51.800 know why. And I was just talking to John about 122 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:53.920 this the other day because he now does his own show, 123 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.000 and it is it is it is often is it 124 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:58.800 live live like all the time or not. 125 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.199 So it's right now it's a pre recorded show. We're 126 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.800 hoping to eventually make it something that's live, but yes, 127 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:05.319 right now, each show is pre recording. 128 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.600 And I know some people who do show similar to 129 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:11.040 yours that you know, they'll they'll they'll put it live 130 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:15.120 at like six pm on a yeah, exactly. But it's 131 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:16.839 you know, it's not live, live, but like it might 132 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:18.680 have been recorded two hours before, you know what I mean. 133 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:20.600 So it's it's close to live. And there's reasons that 134 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.519 on the Internet why you do that, as far as 135 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:25.720 making sure you're hitting at the right time, Like, there's 136 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:27.720 there's a method to it, as far as getting as 137 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.800 much reach as you can with anything you post on 138 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.879 the World Wide Web. So I was telling John, like, 139 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.879 the last time I recorded something that was like content, 140 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.240 it's been a while. Usually anything I do is live. 141 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:43.120 And if I'm if I was to do this show, 142 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.720 let's say I had to record the show from noon 143 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.759 to three and they aired it it three to six, 144 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:50.519 I don't know why anybody in the world would do that, 145 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.959 but you know, just just humor me. I don't even 146 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.439 know if I could get through a segment because for 147 00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.160 some reason, whenever it's whenever, it whenever it's live. Like 148 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.199 we are right now where I just push this button 149 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.720 and John's doing his thing in the control room that 150 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.720 puts us over the over the radio airwaves. You know, 151 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.399 I'm not reading off of a teleprompter. I'm not reading 152 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:14.240 a script. I'm not referencing notes or copy points. I'm 153 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.720 just yapping. Now I've got notes that I reference throughout 154 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:19.399 the show, and you know, believe it or not, I 155 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.160 do prepare for this show. But there's something about it 156 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:26.360 being like a recorded take that I just I fumble 157 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.959 over my words and I do that enough, as is 158 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.000 with with the live show that we have here, but 159 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.279 there's a there's something about it being live that actually 160 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.639 makes it more relaxed for me to or I'm just like, 161 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:37.600 oh cares you know, Like I don't know what it is, 162 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:39.959 because I think most people would be the opposite. If 163 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:43.759 they're recording, they can be more relaxed and composed because 164 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.600 they know if they do slip up and make a 165 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:47.920 mistake or you know, mess up a word or something 166 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.360 like that, they can just start over and record again. 167 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:52.800 But here I am. I've got like four commercials for 168 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.399 a new client that we have, and I mean it 169 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.040 took me, and it took It was embarrassing how long 170 00:07:58.079 --> 00:07:59.680 it took me to get through those because I just 171 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.680 kept like I started reading way too fast, and then 172 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.360 I'm like, well, you sound like you are Ron Burgundy 173 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.399 reading the teleprompter like you know. It puts some make 174 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.720 it sound like you know, and it is legit. It's 175 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.480 you know, it's it's nobody's fault but my own. But 176 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.920 it really made me start the show today kind of 177 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.240 questioning am I in the right business radio? Like I 178 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.680 can't even record a thirty second commercial that doesn't take 179 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.000 me thirty minutes to do, Like that can't be normal. 180 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.040 I definitely get what you're saying, and especially after recording 181 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.759 a few episodes and having that ability to know that 182 00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.839 if I do mess up, I can reset some things. Now. 183 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.720 One thing I have noticed about me specifically when I'm 184 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.480 pre recording these shows, I won't worry about if I 185 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.399 slipped up a word, but if I am wanting to 186 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.320 gather my thoughts before I go into another topic, I'll 187 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:43.519 pause the recording and then. 188 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:44.799 Show yeah, it makes total sense. 189 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:46.399 Take an advantage of yeah. 190 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.159 And that makes total sense, and that's a benefit to 191 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.120 the live stuff, no doubt. But here I am like 192 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.679 sentence one, I'll stop and you know, have to take 193 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:57.360 a long break, like let me get now get. I 194 00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.120 don't know what it is like, I'm I'm in my 195 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.080 own head. I think at the first commercial there recorded 196 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.600 earlier today, I realized how long it took me, and 197 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.519 I'm like, man, that that's not good, like that's you know, 198 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.960 I want it to sound good at times. I do, 199 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:14.879 you know, try to be a perfectionist. But anyways, I 200 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.639 don't Maybe I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm rusty, 201 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.600 Like I haven't had any recorded commercials in quite some time. 202 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:22.519 Most of the stuff that you've heard me reference when 203 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:24.600 it comes to our great partners that partner with myself 204 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:26.600 and the show, it's just been live reads, which again 205 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:28.799 I think those are I mean, those are more organic 206 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.000 and to any advertiser out there, that's really where you 207 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:32.639 get a lot of value because you know, it's in 208 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.000 content advertising and in a way it becomes kind of 209 00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:37.720 like a part of the show to where nobody really 210 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.240 even considers it to be an advertisement. Anyways, long story short, 211 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:45.120 I was rusty and recording some commercials today and I 212 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.720 thought like, maybe I'm just having a really bad day 213 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.360 with brain fog. Maybe the second day back from vacation 214 00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:54.080 is when it really hits me that, man, I'm you know, 215 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.679 needing to recover from said vacation. But here we are, 216 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.440 turn the microphone on John, and I've just been yapp 217 00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:02.759 in for the last ten minutes without much trouble not 218 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.000 to say that I've put on a great performance thus far. 219 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.000 I can't speak for the last ten minutes and say 220 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.440 that it's, you know, phenomenal radio, but it's better than 221 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.200 what I did. And when I try to record those commercials. 222 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.559 I'll tell you mass commercial recording can get really frustrating because, 223 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.399 like yourself, I get really frustrated if I don't get 224 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.600 something in a take or two, because then I start 225 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:24.279 overthinking everything. I'm kind of a perfectionist whenever it comes 226 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.840 to how everything sounds, and it's very easy to get 227 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:28.759 in your head if things don't go well in the 228 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:29.799 first few takes. 229 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:34.360 Well, and you want the client to sense how genuine 230 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:38.399 you are when discussing their service, their business, what they do. 231 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.759 So you don't want it to sound and you know 232 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:43.919 I lobot it. Yeah, yeah, you don't want it to 233 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.480 sound like you're just reading a script. That's why for me, 234 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.200 I will take copy points and kind of just run 235 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.960 from that, or take copy points and then kind of 236 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:54.600 put my own thing together that I think makes the 237 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.120 most sense. I will say this is my one complaint. 238 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.039 Like they give us thirty seconds for a spot, you 239 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.200 can do like a fifteen second spot. I guess you 240 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.159 could also do a sixty second spot. That's extremely rare. However, 241 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:10.519 like I can't talk like I mean, I talk fast 242 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:12.799 as it is, but I'm like, okay, like these are 243 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:15.399 all the things that we have to mention in this commercial. Okay, 244 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.480 Well I might need to record three of these commercials 245 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.320 because I can't fit that all that in there in 246 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:21.919 thirty seconds. And if you give them a commercial that is, 247 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.600 you know, a millisecond over thirty. I don't know if 248 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:29.559 it's our system or if it's something they do on 249 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.320 their end, but that's where you get to where they 250 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.559 slightly speed up your voice and you sound like a 251 00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:37.639 drunk album the Chipmunk. And there's some liners of me 252 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:42.440 talking about the station and this show that'll randomly be on, 253 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.399 like I'll I was driving the other night. It was 254 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:47.200 right before we left town. I was driving, It's like 255 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.879 one o'clock in the morning, and I had, of course 256 00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:51.399 I had it on Sports Talk seven None You have 257 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:54.360 a company, Man, and they just did the you know, 258 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:57.240 the legal idea or whatever that you hear you know 259 00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:00.000 the station you're listening to, and it was either like 260 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.200 an old recording of me when I was thirteen, which 261 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.559 I don't think that's the case, or they sped me 262 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:06.320 up to make it fit. And I'm like, come on, like, 263 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:08.919 I don't want people to think I sound like that. Hey, 264 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.240 I mean, come on now. And I've never been able 265 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.200 to figure out like how to get around it, but 266 00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:16.240 it seems to you know, it's having other people too, 267 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:17.679 Like I'll hear every now and then I'll hear a 268 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:19.960 Shannon the Due commercial. I'm like, well, he doesn't sound 269 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.360 like that. He's a little sped up, or he's had, 270 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:25.879 you know, had some helium or something like that. So anyways, 271 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:29.720 let's let's dive right in, shall we. I wouldn't typically 272 00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:32.240 start with this, but given that we are twelve minutes 273 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.120 in and I want to make sure I save a 274 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:37.720 little bit of time for I guess the hard hitting 275 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.200 topics on today's show, because in the N double A 276 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:45.120 with the NIL, I mean, what do you even call 277 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:47.840 the NIL world? The NIL, like the N S double 278 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:51.480 A is in more trouble than people realize because I'm 279 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:54.559 pretty sure that they've they've they've enforced their new rules. 280 00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.279 The NUBA put out the twenty twenty four to twenty 281 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:03.799 five D one Manual, and there are finally actual NIL 282 00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:08.639 updated bylaws that went into effect as of August the first. 283 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:11.639 There was an interim NIL policy if you guys remember, 284 00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:16.039 But they're not able to enforce what they're claiming they're 285 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:17.960 going to enforce. So I think the new rules are 286 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:19.799 that there actually are no rules, and I don't want 287 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:22.320 to nerd out on it too much. And also some 288 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.600 of it is very confusing to me looking at, you know, 289 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.559 excerpts from this NC DOUBLEA Division one Annual Manual. I 290 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:32.279 mean just sounds boring as hell, right, But they're laying 291 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:35.440 out things that they're going to try to enforce. But 292 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:38.559 yet a federal judge has already determined that the NC 293 00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:42.840 DOUBLEA cannot punish student athletes for what the NUBA is 294 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:45.639 going to tell them that they can't do. So, I look, 295 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.600 we've been saying it forever at least it seems like it, 296 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.799 But like how much longer can the NC DOUBLEA exist? 297 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.360 I mean, hard to imagine it not existing? But then again, 298 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.000 like it seems like every day that passes there's less 299 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:02.799 respect and really unless other than you know, I guess 300 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:05.360 the non revenue sports. I mean it's obviously, I mean, 301 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.039 it's how they do business. It's how they operate. But 302 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:10.080 when it coming there's so much money that's going to 303 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:12.360 be coming into college athletics already is right now as 304 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.960 we speak, that like n double A is just gonna 305 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:16.919 be useless when it comes to the highest level of 306 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.279 college sports. Speaking of that, how about Pitbull. He's doing 307 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:21.679 better than we thought. John, Do you see what he 308 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:25.879 did Withutely We'll get into the specifics, but it reminded 309 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:27.960 me of a sad day for us on this show. 310 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.039 I mean, we aren't leaders of the Pitbull fan club, 311 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.240 but when I saw that Pitbull was doing a random 312 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.399 free concert at the waterfront in Louisville like eighteen months ago, 313 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.519 might have been last summer, and like nobody talked about it, 314 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:42.080 there was no coverage. I'm like, mister worldwide, what happened? Now, 315 00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:45.679 you're mister waterfront in Louisville, And well, maybe that was 316 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:47.639 just you know, maybe that was a gift he owed 317 00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:49.720 somebody here in Louisville. Because my man's dropping the bag 318 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.759 for FIU, and I think he's a little ahead of 319 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:57.440 himself as far as assuming that every football program in 320 00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:00.399 the country is gonna want a celebrity to purchase naming 321 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.279 rights but he may be onto something because there's there's 322 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:06.360 going to be so much money needed for college athletics 323 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.559 to be sustainable for these programs that want to win, 324 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.120 and it is interesting to see just the different ways 325 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:17.120 in which these universities are going to start monetizing things 326 00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.559 because they have to. So we'll get into all that. Also, 327 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.799 some Olympic updates. Believe it or not, I do have 328 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:26.120 some interesting things to share from the Olympics. It's not 329 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:28.200 a whole lot about metal counts or anything like that, 330 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.559 but just some of the stories that have surfaced from 331 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:32.480 over there. We'll get into that. Some Louisll football stuff. 332 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:34.799 I want to get to some not a whole lot 333 00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:37.200 of takeaways yet right now. When it comes to camp, however, 334 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:40.879 there is one player that we heard about after one 335 00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:43.159 of the recent practices that I want to discuss and 336 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:45.720 something I missed last week, but I'll I definitely want 337 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.960 to get into. It is the NFL's annual player rankings. Right. 338 00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:53.960 NFL players vote as far as who the best players 339 00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.399 in the league are, and they do a top one 340 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:02.399 hundred every year, and where the quarterbacks fell really surprised me, 341 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:05.399 but then again kind of didn't. But I've got a 342 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:10.519 question for you when it comes to why Patrick Mahomes 343 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:12.720 is not viewed as the number one quarterback in the 344 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:17.600 NFL to his peers, whereas it seems like just about 345 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:21.720 everybody else views him as the best quarterback in the NFL. 346 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:25.600 And honestly, some would tell you it's not close. But anyways, 347 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.399 I've got an interesting question on that that I want 348 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:28.759 to throw at you guys to see what you think. 349 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:31.279 So again, we're loaded today, but one thing I have 350 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:34.440 to ask if somebody can help me out here. This 351 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.399 photo that I just posted on Twitter. I saw it 352 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:42.879 from the no context Louisville Cardinal's Twitter account. Don't follow 353 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:46.559 that account, they don't follow me, but it ended up 354 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.240 on the what do you call it, the four you 355 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:53.159 section of the Twitter timeline. And it's a Louisville football 356 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:59.679 uniform and it looks, you know, like a normal red 357 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.519 Louisville Cardinal Adidas football jersey other than one thing that 358 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.720 is a lot different. What you would assume would be 359 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:14.039 white is yellow gold, more so yellow than gold. And 360 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:15.559 it looks I mean, again, I don't know where this 361 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.880 picture came from. Is this Are we wearing these like? 362 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:21.000 Cause these are awful. I have no problem in saying it. 363 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:25.000 We would look like we they look like, yeah, Ronald McDonald, 364 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:28.079 Like that's exactly what this color scheme is. Ronald McDonald 365 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:30.640 is the look. And I'm just curious, like are we 366 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.559 doing this? Like is that? Like I've never really understood 367 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:38.319 the the interest in in adding like gold or yellow 368 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:43.279 to the Louisville like U OFL colors, right, I mean, 369 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:44.960 I mean, if you if you look at the actual 370 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.599 logo the you know the there's a yellow there's a 371 00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:50.279 yellow beak for the bird, right, I mean that's that's 372 00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:53.440 that's about it. But like it looks it looks hideous, 373 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.240 and I'm convinced that, like there are certain fans that 374 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.880 no matter what your team wears, you're gonna say that's badass. 375 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:02.920 That is you see, that's awesome, And it's because you're 376 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:05.279 you know, you're die hard and shout out to you. 377 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:07.400 They could wear whatever and you're gonna still support them. 378 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:09.440 And look, I'll support them whatever they're wearing. But like, 379 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:11.400 I also have no problem in stating if my team 380 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.319 is wearing ugly ash uniforms and these are just. 381 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:16.000 Not it the. 382 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.279 Best example of certain people just like they don't. As 383 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:21.079 long as it says Louisville and it says cards on it, 384 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:25.079 They're all in. Doesn't matter, doesn't matter what else it is. 385 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:28.880 It's if it's their team. They change colors, they change logos, 386 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:31.880 they changed brands, doesn't matter if it's Louisville, they're gonna 387 00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:34.319 say it looks great. And again that speaks to their 388 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:38.480 their love for Louisville. But I'll never forget in twenty 389 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:42.799 fifteen when they played Auburn down there in Atlanta. It 390 00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:44.960 was the first ever career game for Lamar Jackson, I 391 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.680 think at the time the Chick fil A Kickoff Classic, 392 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:51.519 and they wore uniforms from Adidas that I don't know 393 00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:53.480 if I don't think Adidas called them this, but I 394 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:56.200 know a lot of Louisville fans, myself included, called them 395 00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:01.119 the murder Birds. But if you just google Louisville's uncaged 396 00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:05.359 cardinal uniforms against Auburn, you'll see that it's the ugliest 397 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:10.000 uniform that has ever existed. I mean the bird, I 398 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:13.200 mean they changed the mascot like that. That's I don't 399 00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:15.440 know what that is. That's not a Louisville cardinal that 400 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:19.359 you know has green eyes, and the lettering on the 401 00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:22.559
