  Speaker 2: we are, so welcome to Just the Cat's. My name
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: is Michael Bennett. On this May twenty second. I'm a
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: loud talker. I cannot help it.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: And whyatt's so?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: My son and I went went out to dinner last
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: night and he kept telling Dad, you're really loud, please stop,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: And I'm like Max, I've been loud all my life.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: It's not changing, so well you need to learn. It's
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: like okay, happy birthday. But that's that's the how it went.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: But you know, the good news is I changed the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: light bulb. We're all set to go.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Now, you did, Hevan? Yeah, of course I did?
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Or did you just move the camera?
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: No? I changed the light bulb.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: No, show me the show me the other side, turn
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: your cat? All right? You did? Wow? I did?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't get me cracked.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Well done.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: If I said I changed it, I changed it. I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: didn't break the fixture.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: So I did that not quick of a time.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Of course I did. Because it bugs me. I mean,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you tell me something.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: It's like, okay, gonna bug me the entire show, just
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: like the whole start of this show is gonna bug
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: me the entire two hours.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know why.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: And now this distortion is going to kill me even more.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on. But well, yeah, we'll
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: reset it soon as at the break. But you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: we never have any kind of technical issues, but every
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: now and then we do. It's no big deal because
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: it doesn't upset me and I'm not gonna let it
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: upset me, But are you ready for a Memorial Day weekend?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, you asked me if I had plans. I
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: do have plans. It's not going to be watching war movies.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: By the way, I did that one time. I did that,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: actually twice. I don't think they do it as much
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: as they used to. So TBS and what's the other
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: AMC they would show back in you know, twenty thirty
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: years ago, they would show nothing but war movies all
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: weekend long. And the reason I know that is because
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: when our kids were born, they had jaundice, so we
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: had to stay home and put them in this little
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: suntanning booth suitcase thing that they fit into, put light
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: on him so that joundice would go away. And while
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: we're doing that, I would watch war movies. And to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: this day, my wife will not watch a single war
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: movie because of that. One weekend we did nothing but
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: watch war movies.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It was awesome.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I mean I love I love the older fifties and
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: sixties with John Wayne, I mean Michael Douglas or not
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Kirk Douglas. I love those old ones. Now I do
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: love newer ones. I do love like, well, it's not
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: really that new is it saving Private Ryan, I think
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: is a phenomenal one.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I could go through the It's not good.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: It's not new.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's twenty years old, isn't.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: It at least?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah? But I just I enjoy him.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: A Forrest Gump a war movie.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: No, really, not at all.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Just there's a little part of it that's the war part,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and that's when he's in Vietnam. But no, I don't
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you you would? Do you consider it an Alabama foot
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: that's a good point. No, okay, so it's not. It's
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: just a movie about a guy. So no, I was,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: all right, here's a bad take. I didn't really care
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: for Forrest com.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: That's a horrible take.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Sorry, I knew you. I knew you'd say that. But
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: uh uh is it really okay? Well, I'm glad you
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: think so. No, there's the Clint Eastwood had made some
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: really good war movies. I mean, there's there's too many
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: out there that I loved. But uh, anyway, Uh, what
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: do you have going on this weekend? What have you
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: planned for yourself to do upmorrow?
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: The only thing I've got planned is I gotta my
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: dad sent out a group text. A couple of weeks
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: ago need some help finishing up his pole bar tomorrow.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: So we're we're gonna go over there. We're gonna we
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: got a big group of us going over to help him.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: So hopefully we can make quick work of it and
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I won't have to be there all day. And then
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: other than that, I've got nothing going on.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: You know, my house needs remodeling.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: If I if I sent out a text to your
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: dad and his entire group, would they come over and
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: remodel my house in the weekend.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Probably not.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It's an amazing thing that your dad has so many
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: friends out there. He texts them to come over and help,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and they'll come over and help on top of it
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: all on a holiday weekend.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, there was at least ten of them that responded
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: and said I'll be there. Really good. Those are good friends.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: That's what happens when you're a good dude. My dad's
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: about as good as a dude as a cups.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And when you mean they're going to finish up a
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: pole bar, first of all, I don't know what a
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: pole barn is, and second of all, I don't know
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: how you finish it up.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: How do you not know what a pole barn is
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: First of all, I don't the city those barns with
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: the metal on the outside of them.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's a pole barny. Why is it called a
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: pole barn? And how's that different than a regular bar.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Now you're getting in the semantics that I can't answer,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: So I don't know. Okay, you're gonna make me feel dumb,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: and I don't want to feel So.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: It's the illuminum sighting barns that are out there.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Basically, Okay, he's got a he built it pretty big
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: one that I mean he could live in it. It's
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: got a bathroom, it's got a kitchen, it's got basically
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: everything you need in it. Well, then about I don't know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: probably three four years ago, he decides, well, I need
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: another one right beside it, and I'm gonna attach them.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: So he's got this huge pole barn setup, two of
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: them attached to each other. So he built the second one,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: and it's massive, and he puts all of his work
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: equipment in there, like those machines and stuff. Well, then
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: he decided it's not big enough and he needed to
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: add I don't know, twelve feet on the end of it.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: So he basically opened up the back of the second
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: pole barn and is extending it to make it bigger.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: So where to finish the extension part?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Wow? And so how long will you be there? And
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: do you know what you're doing?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Uh? No? But I'm probably I'm probably going to be
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the least skilled person there, So I imagine I will
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: be on clean up up duty. If there's any like
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: loose boards laying around or loose pieces of wood, I'll
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: probably pick that up. Throwing the fire pit. I don't
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: imagine I'll be doing too much of the screwing and hammering.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: And we're getting up on the ladders for what it's worthing? Really?
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Because like I said, I'm gonna be the least skilled
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: person there.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: But don't you know how to screw in a screw
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: with a drill?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I do?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: But I think I could do that.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I do. But all my Dad's buddies that are coming,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: they all do that on the day to day, so
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: they're gonna want to be get up there and do
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: all that stuff.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I'd be up there doing it. I'd be scared of
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: heights and probably need help getting down.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: But okay, good, Well, like they run out of gun
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: like nails in their nail gun or something. I'll be
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: the guy probably tossing them up some more or whatever.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Just be the I'm basically just gonna be the Gopher.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Lake this weekend. No pool, no, nothing like that.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: The rainal weekend.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: It's gonna like what roast Memorial Day weekend.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: That is the We're part of it. It's going to
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: be an ugly weekend and we can't go out and
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: celebrate it. So anyway, but I'm sorry for of course,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of things happening in Louisville, I mean,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff, and it's just a bummer that's
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: happening with with inclement weather. So I'm disappointed about that.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: But hopefully we we get off Monday. We're excited about that. Yeah,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: pumped so, yeah, exactly, And we won't That's the thing.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: We don't do replays here at this station. Do we
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: even just flip it over to National and do that. Yeah,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: it just to me, it doesn't make sense. I'm a
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: proponent of replay because you're already accustomed to listening to
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: this show in this time slot, So wouldn't you rather
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: go back and listen to one that like the will
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Stein interview or something along those lines. Wouldn't you like
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: to hear that on a day off or something like
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: being best of us?
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, doing best of us?
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: And I'll take notes of which ones I feel like,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and I'll ask you, hey, do you think this was
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: a good one? And we'll save it as a best
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: of And that's probably what we should do. I just
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: like on Monday, we should probably replay the the what
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: would be a best of the will Stein Interview.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Here's the deal. Nobody's going to be listening on Monday.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: You don't know that.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: That's true, but exactly, I don't. I don't go with
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: you changing your mind.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Think that anybody will be listening on Monday.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Dan, Well, I tend to disagree. It
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: might be more people listening on Monday because they're off.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: So okay, well I'll go your route. But whatever, whatever
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Justin Kalin wants to do is the route we're going
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: to go. So yeah, there we go. Yeah I'm glad,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: are you okay? You just seem kind of down today?
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: No, I'm good. I had a donuts. I'm crashing a
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Oh that the issue?
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: So I'm really I eat like a baby. I don't
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: know if you know this, but a lot of people
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: in my life do. I eat like such a baby.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I cannot eat a big meal. If I go to
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: a fast food restaurant, odds are I'm not finishing my
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: whole meal. As sad as that is, I'm not finishing it.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: So I eat that donut this morning and I immediately
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: just got so full, and my mind goes to, man,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: I'm ready for a nap.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Great, So two hours all you're gonna be thinking about
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: is I'm ready for a freaking nap and I'm gonna
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: be sitting here talking with no energy.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Good news for you, Michael Business. Yes, I've got my sodi.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Oh oh, we're good to go.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, just go get that hat that says
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: good again, because you know right now you're not good
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: and maybe if you put the good hat on you
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: would become good. Man.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I missed an opportunity yesterday when I went to the
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: other studio.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: So so every day when I walk in, my boss
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: is like, how are you? And I should have just
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: pointed to my hat yesterday Exactly, I told you what
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: to do. Didn't do it?
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: You didn't exactly. I taught you that and you don't.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: You don't. You don't ever listen to me. You don't.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: You just want to laugh and think, Oh what a
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: goofbin it is. That's all you want to do. But anyway,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: if you eat like a baby, didn't have these guys
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: like Joey Chip Chip Chestnut, whatever his name is, that's it.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Joey Chestnut. Yeah, eat all the hot dogs they do.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. I mean, he got arrested. No,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: he's on probation, but he got arrested. He just slapped
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: a guy at a bar who hasn't done He just
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: slapped the guy at a bar who hasn't done that.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: And the funny me right here, I've never done. Have
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: you slapped a guy in a bar? Were you arrested?
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: I don't think so, but maybe okay, I wouldn't.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I thought.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: The funny part is he said he claimed he didn't
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: remember slapping the guy. Can you be so intoxicated that
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: you forget what you're doing, like slapping a guy?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Can you really? Okay?
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: On about twenty first birthday, my dad said he thought
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I was bringing home twins. I don't remember anything about
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: the twins, So yes, you can forget stuff like.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: That bringing home twins.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he said I was flirting with these two twins
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: at the bar, and I don't remember anything about him.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Wow, okay, I respect right there, man.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: I mean the Joey Chestnut things. Interesting. So I mentioned
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: on my show yesterday the guy was probably being inappropriate.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: He probably, I mean, Joey Chestnut smashes hot dogs. So
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: there's some low hanging fruit in terms of jokes to
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: be made there towards him. And maybe the guy just
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: made a joke towards.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Him, but it's just a joke.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I'm sure the guy was not being means well, I
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: don't know, and maybe he was.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: You never know what he said. He could have brought
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: up something about wieners, and Joey Chestnut was incredibly offended
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: and just slapped the hell out of him.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: You had to pronounce it that way, But okay, well
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: you want me to pronoun hot dog hot dog? It's
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: a hot dog. Nobody calls it wieners anymore.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Do you really?
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I bet there's like less than two percent that refer
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: to hot dogs as wieners.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I'd say it's probably closer to five, would you really?
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I mean thinkt there?
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's something I would love to know
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the history, because I understand the wiener came from a
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: German uh word, and that's what it was from.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: But how did they get from wiener to hot dog?
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Great question?
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: If anybody that's you know, that's another way. Anytime I
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: hear you say it's a great question, that means I
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: don't know. That's exactly what that means. That's exactly what yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: So I appreciate you admitting that, but I would love
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: to know that. But that whole story was kind of crazy.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Course he's they're allowing him to as part of this
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: probation travel up to Boston because it's one hundred and
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: eighty days that he's a probation, so he'll be able
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: to go up there and do his July fourth competition
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: up there.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: That's New York.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: It's a New York. I thought it was Boston. Oh okay,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I was thinking every New Yorker. I guess how much
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: I care?
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: How many New Yorkers are listening to this show? Zero
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: you think? So do we really?
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Well, if somebody is listening from New York, uh, please
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: either text me or or DM me on social media.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: So you can just let me know you're a New Yorker.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: By the way, the mic sounds great, it does. I
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: want did you do something I haven't touched the thing
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I promise you. Okay, good, Well, I'm glad it does so. Uh,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: but the person talking into it is not normal.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I think the big news of.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: The day is the announcement yesterday that Eli Cappoluto said, Uh,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the new leader of the UK Athletics department is going
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: to be not only the AD but also the CEO
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: of Champions Blue. And of course you know we all
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: know Champions Blue is the holding company that the department
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: moved to last year to give itself more flexibility and
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: ability to generate revenue.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I go both ways as far as how I feel
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: about this. At times I think, man, this is a
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: great idea. Other times I think this is way too much.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: But let's let's let's let's run through it. The biggest
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: advantage is that college athletics is going to be more
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: and more a business driven because of the nil revenue sharing,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: media rise stone or fundraising facility development, you know, all
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: of that stuff. You k clearly believes the next leader
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: needs to function more like a professional sports executive. That's
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: the part I like than a traditional athletic director. This
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: is the entire purpose behind it. Justin and combining both
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: roles because it makes one person controls could help because
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: it could the one person controls both athletics and fundraising
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: business strategy instead of two power sentarios that potentially could
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: compete against each other. That could be a huge issue.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: So you have it under one person. Guess what, you
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: don't have that issue. The decision making on the NL
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: side in revenue sharing situation could be decided a lot
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: faster because it's one person. Major donors often prefer dealing
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: with one central decision maker. That's a positive, and UK
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: can align football, basketball, sponsorships, entertainment, district development and fundraising
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: under one vision. Those are the positives. Now what are
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the risks? Do you have any You're already chicking your head.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: No.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Why.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: I just think this is entirely too much power for
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: one person, and not only exactly not only power, but
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: they're acting like being an ad isn't hard enough on
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: its own. Being an athletic director has got to be
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: one of the toughest jobs in the entire country. I mean,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: you're dealing with scheduling, you're dealing with potential conflicts with weather,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: You're I mean, there's all this stuff that goes into
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: being an athletic director, so it's not hard enough. Let's
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: go ahead and add one more thing onto their plate
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: and they can worry about this club blue as well.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I just think it's way too much for one person.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: And see, that is the biggest concern that I have.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: You just stole my complete thunder, and I'm okay with that.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you said that, because you're exactly right. Having
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: one person, having one person having both operational and fundraising
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: authority creates enormous power concentration, and that is a gigantic concern.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: A CEO Salad could prioritize revenue sports over all the
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: other minor sports too. That's the other big concern, because
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: of course they are. It's all about driving money, fundraising
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: and making certain that your revenue creating sports i e.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Basketball and football are getting the money that they really need,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: So the priority could be those sports and not the
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: minorities sports. So traditional AFTHLECT directors are usually relationship builders
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: inside the university, while CEOs often operate more aggressively and
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: independently too. So it's gonna be interesting to see if
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Eli Cappoluto can control this person, or not necessarily control them,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: but at least lead them, because you know they they
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: have to be a part of the university. And if
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: there are more of a CEO type that is a
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: control freak, they might not fall.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: The regular.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Politics as I hate to say, of a university. But
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: there is concern nationally that structures like this pushed college
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: athletics further away from traditional college model and closer to
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: professional sports.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: That could be good, that could be bad.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: So I mean for UK specifically, it probably makes since
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: strategically because Kentucky basketball and football already operate like major
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: business brands.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Anyway, here's the one other issue have Eli Cappaluto is
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: It hasn't been formally announced, but I think we all
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: assume he's on his way out too right. I don't
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: think to see him right behind Mitch Barnhart. Why is
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: he getting to make this decision?
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: See that I've argued that, you know, when all this
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: came up, he should not be I don't think he's
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: in his eighties yet, But really, really what should have
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: happened is Eli Kappaloutu should have stepped down, brought in
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: a brand new president. The president should have been the
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: new president should have hired the new AD slash CEO
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: of of the the Champions Blue and then you go
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: from there. This is going so backwards it's not even
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: funny exactly, and that's what's so disappointing. But you know,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: going back to this, you know, projects like the like this,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: hiring a new AD but also hiring a new AD
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: slash CEO project like the Kroger Field Entertainment District require
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: business leadership as much as athletic leadership.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: So this is unique what they're doing.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: And I firmly believe the successful failure will mostly depend
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: on who they hire. And there haven't been any names
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: out there that they've said at all in the past.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: What two or three weeks.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: And if UK land someone who understands both fundraising and
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: athletic culture, it could be a major advantage for UK.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, if they don't, it could be a flop.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: It's is done in June, right exactly, and they keep
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: saying they're going to hire somebody before the end of June,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: so well exactly, and if they hire someone who feels
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: too corporate or disconnected from coaches, alumni, and fans.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: It could create tension very quickly.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean imagine going through the interview process and
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: you're telling potential candidates, hey, not only are you gonna
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: be RD, but you're gonna also be in charge of
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: all this stuff as well. Well, I don't want that.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it may be do I mean there might be
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: some sort of incentive program if they control that as well.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, who knows, Maybe it's gonna be a much
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: bigger salary since he's going to be a CEO and
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: an athletic director.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I just don't know.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: And it better be somebody that's pretty stinking experience if
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: they're not experienced in both of those, because this is
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: an unusual hire. It can't be just a person that's
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: been an athletic director for many years. They have to
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: have some just like I said, they've got to have
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: some sort of business savvy as well.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: And although of a sudden, you're putting those candidates in
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: a box and how many how many are even going
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: to be eligible for that job?
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't think there are many out there
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: that unless they get them from like a an NBA
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: or an NFL type situation, and it's a GM for
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: one of those those teams, then they have a little
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: bit of athletic experience as well as the financial side
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: of running a business.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: But so at that point that those guys have only
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: dealt with one team, one sport, right moreas you're gonna
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: have to come into Kentucky, you have to deal with
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: what twenty five.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Multiple sports exactly, multiple sports. This is a this is
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: an unusual move. I mean, it could it could really,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: it could succeed, or it could absolutely blow up in
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: the UK's face. And I hate to be the guinea
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: pig for this, so I'm it's a concern. So we
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: got to take a break. I've gone way over and
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: I apologize about that, but uh, five O two three
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: four fourteen fifty, if you want to call in five
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: O two four one four fourteen fifty, if you want
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: to text in on the Whisky Thief text line, I'm sorry,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to reconnect just to let you know,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: so we'll figure it out. And you're okay with it.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: You don't think I know to Okay, Okay, I'm good,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: all right, perfect, all right, Well, come join us. I
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: look forward to your text messages and stay right there.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: We got a lot more just cats coming right now.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: I can't.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: And nobody heard what you just said, which which I love.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, but you need to let people hear that,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: hear you say that kind of stuff because it just
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: makes me laugh. So when Michael's on remote, I always
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: have to tell him what the song is because he
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: can never hear what the song is coming back. So
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: for this one, I just told him it was Bronsky
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: beat small town boy. Told him I had no idea,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: never heard it. I'm just going random today. Turns out
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: it was a bad selection. Oh the terrible selection. I
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: don't listen. And just the fact that you said, by
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: the way, it's a terrible song, I mean, and nobody
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: heard it. And of course I'm coming back in and
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: then die and laughing. But I've really mailed it in
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: with the music this week. Well you now, why would
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: you do that? Come on, I've sent you some pretty
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: good song. I like the song I sent in today,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: so let's come. Yeah, I know it's coming, But I
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: guess the best small town was probably John Mellencamp. That's
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: the best small town song, go j D. Shelburn. But
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: oh excuse me, Yes, we would, We certainly should go JD.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Shelburn, But man, that guy's living a life.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Just to let you know one person, well, Zach tweet
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: texted in five or two, four four, fourteen fifty he said,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: the new hot dog name nowadays is a g lizzy.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, horrible.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Why that the name of it? Do they really use
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: that term gl all the youths? Yeah?
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Where does that come from? Why?
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: And if you God forbid, you have a container that
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: you keep them in that's called the glazonator. No way?
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Okay? Yeah, I uh okay, that's interesting. Yeah, I I
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: don't think I care for that one either. Josh texted
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: in morning. Uh justsic Katz rest in peace to Kyle Busch. Boy,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: that is that was one of the topics I want
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: to talk about in just a little bit. But uh uh,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: this generation of NASCAR's Kobe death moment. This rain is asked,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I've got a vinted show to do on the waterfront
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: tomorrow and car show called Beatersville in the Warehouse district
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: in downtown Louisville on Sunday. There's a warehouse district in Louisville.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: I guess so, I so you didn't know about it either.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, there's so much about Louisville I don't know.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I know Nulu and that's all I know. A butcher town.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. You know.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: I'm born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, and there are
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: places I don't know. But okay, I didn't know there
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: was a warehouse Ditric Rainer, Shine, we are there, come
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: see us. Everybody stay safe and let's remember those who
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: paid the ultimate sacrice for us to complain about sports
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: all day.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: And you know, as I've mentioned before, I'm named after
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Mike Bennett, who was my uncle killed d DA plus eight.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: So he was killed in the Battle of the Bloody Gulch,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: which was featured on a Band of Brothers, which kind
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: of cool but not cool that he died, but I
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: mean it was cool that they featured that one particular
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: battle in Band of Brothers. Yeah, so I'm kind of
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: honored because I have his purple heart. I have some
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: pictures of him, and that's it. But yeah, I never
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: knew him clearly, but it's Corey Price would say I'd
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: probably knew him, uh friends thirty some odd years together. Yeah, exactly,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: jeez Louise forty eight hand.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: He said.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: The character Forrest Gump was based loosely on Middle of
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Honor winner Sammy Davis Junior. Really, Sammy Davis Junior had
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: a Medal of Honor. I had no idea. There's a
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: wonderful picture of him kneeling with his arms around two
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: beautiful grandchildren of one of the men he saved, draped
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: in the flag. Thanks to everyone today who honor our
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: glorious dead. So yeah, great text, right there. So many
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: people had their hair on fire over no triple crown bid. Meantime,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: you're getting ready to see one of the best races
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: in recent years, the Stephen Foster. Have you heard about this?
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Justin Oh yeah, Churchill just up the pot to two
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: million dollars in hopes of adding a few more participants
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: waiting our sovereignty. Why to Barrio Magnitude and Baiza. I mean,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: that is awesome that the Stephen Foster has become. And
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I know not in a lot of people really get
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: into the uh the whole horse racing thing, but man,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: that is going to Even Nick Rausch was giddy over
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: it on Twitter. Oh he does, Nick Rausch, And I
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: need to hang out a lot more. I mean I

  Speaker 2: some of the things I get to enjoy.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know that he'd be able to handle you,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: But also at the same time, I don't know that
• 29:34

  Speaker 3: able to handle him?
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I have so many questions after that one comment right there.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: What do you mean you don't know if Nick Rousch
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: can handle me and I can't handle him.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: You guys are both just a lot? Are we really

• 29:56
  Speaker 3: He's around horse racing, Yeah, he's a lot?
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Is he really?
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Okay? Fair enough? We might have to see if we
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: can handle each other. I don't like the way that's termed.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: But uh. One person said, I think Justin has checked
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: out for the holiday already pretty pretty much.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.

• 30:22
  Speaker 2: a glizzy gobbler.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, I've heard that as well. Have you really? For
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: what it's worth?
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Can and by the way, you misspelled my name, dude? Okay,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: it's m I c h a e L. Michelle, Yeah,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: he spelled it. M I c h E A L.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: That happens a lot. I listen, I'm teasing you. Please
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: please don't take a don't don't take offense to it.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: It's just I'm just joking back with you. So no
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: big deal that you misspelled my name. It won't bother
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: me for too long that you've misspelled my name. Uh
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: but uh yeah, I I need to hang out with
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Nick Mark, you know. I. I would always him at
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: football games, basketball games, and we wouldn't hang out too
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: terribly much. We would just sit there and talk for
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: a few minutes and we move on. And then of course,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: you know, when he was on the show with us
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Derby week, that was.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: A lot of fun.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: I really had a ton of fun having TJ and
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Nick two different days, and they both it was funny.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: They both said they literally both said, I can stay
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: for a segment, and then what do you know, they
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: both stayed for both hours, which I thought was really
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of funny.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: By the way, Ralsh is hosting country show to this.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Oh really interesting. So he's all of a sudden healed
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: that I'm just kidding. It's fine, that's three days later.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: So are you trying to start something with me?
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Is that what you?
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe we should call Nick and see, Hey Nick, well,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: what the heck man you're you're hosting this show? I
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: think we should call him during the break. Okay, Nick,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter, he needs to answer and see if
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: he'll Let's just see if the answers of phone and
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: comes on for a couple of minutes. Okay, we can
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: promote that he's going to be on a different show.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I'm okay with that, but let's see if he does. Okay,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: you will you do that?
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: For me?
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: That means no when anybody says I'll see that just
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: basically is a nice way of saying no, which is
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: a real cut. Just say you're not gonna do it.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: I'm texting it right now, are you are?
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: No? No texting you call.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: I'm not just gonna cold call somebody. This is not
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: who I am. I used to have to do that
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: when I was in college to sell football tickets. I
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: hated it.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: For who for Indiana you sold IU football here?
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I did that for one semester where I would
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: just cold call people ask if they're interested in tickets?
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Did you sell anybody. Indiana football team.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: I think I made one sale.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: At how many phone calls?
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Probably six hundred. That is so sad.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: And today I bet you if you made six hundred,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: you'd probably get five hundred and ninety nine say yes,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: which is the crazy part. All right, how much time
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: do we have? I don't think I have time to
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: go on. Yeah, okay, we're not going to be able
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: to do that. So when we come back. We got
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: some great news again yesterday for UK football. I want
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: to talk about the beef Steve Sarcasian is having. I mean,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: he's throwing out his former conference under the bus right now,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: which I think is funny because to me, it kind
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: of goes both ways. Dude, I don't know if I
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: would be saying all that he's saying. But we'll talk
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: about that as well. Plus we got got some baseball
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: news and then the Knicks played last night.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I'm glad they won.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I'm rooting for him, but you know what they did
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: on the broadcast, don't you justin I don't think so Okay, Yeah,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk, Yeah you will when we talk
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: about it. So one of the things that really irks
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: me about when the Knicks or the Lakers are in
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: So anyway, take a break. Hour two coming up right now.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: We need Nick Roush on this show. As soon as
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: we come back. You get him on. I'll see him in.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: This is a.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Just the Cats with Michael Bennett. He didn't answer,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: did he No? Of course not no? Okay, of course?
• 34:29

• 34:32
  Speaker 2: it didn't. Okay, let me try. I'll try again. Yeah,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: you should try again and see. But uh, all right,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Uh Fabo two three eight four fourteen fifty. You want
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: to call Fablo two four one four fourteen fifty. You
• 34:43

• 34:47
  Speaker 2: another slow first hour of texting.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I just uh, so send me your text in there.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: I'd like to hear from me as you get ready
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: for uh your memorial Just tell me what your Memorial
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Day planes are and I'll be jealous of you. But uh,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: one of the big things I want to talk about, obviously,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: is UK football killing it again?
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: No answer? That time I went straight to boysmail, I
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: can't hear you.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Oh that time I went straight to boysmail?
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: It did? Okay. I think he's he's got his phone
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: turned off.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: But uh, UK gets another football commit. This time it's
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: a three star, not a four star. I'm really disappointed
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: in will will Stein. I could not be more disappointed Willstein.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's happened to his recruiting. Uh, but
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: a three star five to eleven running back Kelsey Gerald
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: out of Lake Worth, Florida. This is where it's big here.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Now, granted, yes he's a three star, but he's a
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: high three star.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: He so he's just under a four star. Uh.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: He was looking at either going to IU Florida, Auburn,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: or Kentucky and deciding on Kentucky. And now is the
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: seventeenth player that has committed to the UK in the
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: class of twenty twenty seven. I mean UK now has
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: five scholarship running backs on the roster. Do you realize
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: that that's crazy? That is crazy. UK's always for some reason,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Kentucky's always done a nice job of getting running backs.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: It's just always struggled with I would say quarterbacks is
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: the biggest weakness Kentucky's had.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Over the years until now exactly.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: And we'll see and hopefully they turn out to be
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: something Between Minchi and the other kid that's coming from Ohio.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: But listen, everybody kind of gives me a hard time
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: because I never gave Will Levice that much credit. I
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: just think he was an Oka quarterback. I mean, first
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: year he was really good. Yeah, he was good. I
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: wouldn't say really good.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: So second year, I wouldn't say really good. But the
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: first year, i'd say really good.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Would you really? Okay? All right, it's probably.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Been since the Brooks era, so the last quarterback that
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: we had that was really good. But I just I
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: just I just don't think so. But anyway, but I'm
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: happy with that. That's big news, uh for Kentucky. Uh.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about Bengals. Bingles quarterback was
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: on a podcast recently. Joe Burrell said that.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: He is extremely.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: And I mean extremely optimistic about his team for the
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: this upcoming season. He stated that I think this is
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: the most talented roster we've had ever since I've been here.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: And you know, he's been real critical about ownership and uh,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: the front office not spending money. Do you think justin
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: because you know you're you're a fan of the Bengals too, somewhat,
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: come on, you are a little bit now you're just
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: a tad No. I know you're a Pittsburgh Steeler fan,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: but I'm Steers. Huh, I'm wearing a Steelers hat today.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: For crying out, oh you are, Oh you are with
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Steelers hat. I was just joking. He settled down. But
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: do you feel like this is he over hyping this
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: or do you really feel like this potentially could be
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: one of the best Bengals teams that Joe Burrow's been
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: a part of.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Look, if Joe Burrows saying it, I have no reason
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: to not believe him. I mean, he's been You're right,
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: he has been very vocal in past years about the
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: setup of the team and how he's thinks they've needed
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: certain pieces that they haven't had. But I think that
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: with the the some of the moves they've made this offseason,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: they shirt up that defense a little bit. When you
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: think about the Bengals, offense has never been the issue
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: under Joe Burrow, They've they've never had a problem with
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Joe Burrow offensively leading the charge at quarterback. So unless
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: he's injured, unless he's injured, So you needed to just
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: shure up that defense because be quite fright with you,
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: and for lack of a better word, they've been asked.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, they have not been good at all for
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: the last handful of years. So I think some of
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: the defensive moves they've made puts them in a position
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: to be able to play better defensively old teams to
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: lower scores so they don't have to go out and
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: score thirty forty points a game to win.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, because that was that's just not applical. They
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: can't succeed if they have to score that many points.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Defense was a huge disaster. And if they can get
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: to go on the defensive side and Joe Burrow does
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: his normal thing without getting injured to listen, I'm excited
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: about this. I hope this is as good. I don't
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: think he is that kind of person that puts fluff
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: out there.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: No, he is.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: He is pretty realistic and honest about where his team sits,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: and he has been in the past negatively. Yeah, but
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: I think if he's saying this, I kind of tend
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: to believe what he's saying, because you know, they're doing
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: their summer workouts right now, and evidently he's got a
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: pretty good feel about it.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited about it.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Alf the Bengals do well, we'll see exactly you hope.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know why you're like that, but that's just
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: too bad. You can root for the Reds, but you
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: can't root for the Bengals.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Bengals are my team. Reds are.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: It's a Cincinnati area thing. You should be a Bengals fan.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: If you're a redsident. Now you're sound, I know I
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: am definitely. Uh. Did you see where the NFL pushes
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: for a major reset of its media rights deal?
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: No? Are you ready for this?
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: The league is reportedly seeking roughly fifty percent increases as
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: early talks began, potentially making CBS's Sunday package increasing to
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: more than three.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Billion dollars annually.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: And you know, if it does go through, you know
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: who's going to pay for that, don't you us?
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Exactly the fans.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: And I was like, Okay, it's going to get to
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: a point that you know, most people, all right, how
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: many people can afford this to go to the games
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: in the NFL?
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Not many? All right?
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Is it gonna get to a point where the fans
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: can't afford to watch it either? Because you know, they're
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: all they're signing up Netflix, they're signing up Amazon, They're
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: signing up all these streaming services, and to me, it's
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: just going to get to a point one day where
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: they're just gonna say, I can't afford to even watch
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: it anymore? How can I be a fan?
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: I could see a day coming where stadiums are are
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: not as full as they should be for games. I
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: don't anticipate a time where these NFL games aren't heavily watched.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's what everyone wants to do every Sunday. Well,
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: now we get games every freaking day of the week.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: Just see the Seahawks are playing a game on every
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: single day except for Tuesday next this season? Are they
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: really play a game on six days a week? It's okay,
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: So what the third time in NFL history that's ever happened?
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Because what the two Well, there's three unusual days. It's
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: not unusual to see an NFL game on Saturday, Sunday
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: or Monday or a Thursday game. Now now the unusual
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: games are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday. They're Gooday, Okay, I don't think. Okay,
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: so you just told me they're playing on all seven days?
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Did you?
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: Did you say six days?
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, So the only day they're not playing is a Tuesday.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Why are they playing on a Wednesday?
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming they are part of the schedule the game that's.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Paying Oh my god.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: Or maybe they're playing on Black Friday after Thanksgiving to
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: knock out that game.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Wow, that is wild. Yeah, I uh, okay, but.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I I just thinking the popularity the NFL
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: is not going anywhere. I mean, there's there's always gonna
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: be back channels to watch these games. Heck, you can
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: go to a restaurant. They're going to be showing every
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: single game. So I think the desires there to watch
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: the NFL, So therefore, I don't think it goes anywhere.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well, you know when we started the show,
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: I said, it's May twenty second, twenty twenty six. Did
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: you know on May twenty second, nineteen o six, the
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Right Brothers got a patent for a flying machine.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, just one hundred and twenty years ago.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy?
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Crazy?
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Actually one hundred and twenty years ago, and now we
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: talk about flying around the world, we talk about flying
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: to space, going to the moon. Now we're talking about
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: going to Mars. Just one hundred and twenty years ago
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: they had just put a patent out for a not
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: even an airplane, a flying machine is what they called it.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: I thought that was kind of crazy story.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: I think about this sort of stuff all the time,
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: like how close we are to major, major inventions, like
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: the car was invented? What one hundred years ago?
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, right there, I know?
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: And nowie all right, so you know, I was in
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Baltimore earlier this week. I rented a hyundaiy I do
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: when I see a Hundai.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: I love them.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: I know you drive one. This one. Uh it wasn't
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: self driving, but you didn't have to hold onto the
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: steering wheel.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: I don't like that.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: I kind of enjoyed it. I got it took a
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: little now. I would keep my hand on there, but
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: I would loosely keep it on there. So I'm driving
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: down the expressway. It would turn when it needed to turn,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: and it was kind of crazy.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: I don't like that at all?
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Do you not like it all? I don't know. I
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: could kind of dig heaven. I might not fly anymore.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: I might just have my own car that drives me
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: all over the country and I don't have to worry
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: about you. I'm just spending whatever amount of money I'm
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: spending on gas and guess what, I don't have to
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: spend and all that money on flying.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: I like driving because of the control aspect. I feel
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: like in that scenario you don't have all the control
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: and that kind of creeps me out.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know that we talked about that
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Weymo thing, so you would get in a way, mo,
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: but you would not get okay, all right, then no way,
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: no way, no way MO.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's as good as Glizzy. So uh.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: Speaking of space, Bryson Deshambo stated on a podcast this
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: week yeah that he doesn't believe the authenticity of the
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: Apollo eleven moon landing footage, while still believing humans went
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: to the Moon.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: I don't understand that.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute now, So so the question came up
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: by the podcast interviewer that did he what did he
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: think about astronaut Alan Shepherd? Did he really hit a
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: golf ball on the moon? Now, Alan Shepherd, he was
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: the first man in space from the United States and
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: he was also went to the Moon and he famously
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: had a video of him hitting a golf ball on
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: the moon. So that made it come up to Bryson
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: de Shambo that he thinks humans went to the moon,
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: but he doesn't believe the Apollo eleven moonfoot moon video
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: footage is real. I just don't understand how you can
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: believe people went to the moon, but then on the
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: other hand, you don't believe the video.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: Zero sense to me. My question is, how are they
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: producing that video? Do you think they're just in a
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: studio acting like this whole thing actually happened in making
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: a silent movie.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, a lot of people believe that.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, my old buddy Jared Lorenzen, former quarterback at UK,
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: never believed that they went to the moon, and he
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: believes it was just recreated in some kind of video
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: lot that where they filmed it.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: That's insane. I mean, I've never been a conspiracy theorist,
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: so I guess this whole mindset just doesn't It doesn't
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: jive with me. I just think that all this is ignorant.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: People that don't believe that. In my opinion, I think
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: it's ignorant. But then again, I don't know for a
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: fact either, right, So.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: I you know, the more that people say that they
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: don't believe it, the more I think a lot of
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: other people start to believe their belief.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Does that make any sense what I just said? It
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: does to me.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: But the more that people start saying they don't believe
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: in these kind of videos, I think they bring in
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: more people that don't believe along with it.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: They convince people along the way they do.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: And just like I could say I believe in ghosts,
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: I could probably convince a lot of people. Yeah, I
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: believe in ghost too.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: With the exception of the flat earthers, they will never
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: convince me. With the exception of the what the flatter
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: or the flat Earth? Oh no, Earth's not flat? Come on,
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: we all know that. But I don't pull eclipse with
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: the Earth flat, right, it'd be beautiful. Do people really
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: believe that the Earth is fathered? Still millions of people
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: out there?
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well they're idiots them, Okay, I mean, but we
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: have video and pictures of people going up on the
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: little weast SpaceX thing.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, what are you talking about.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Did you realize Bryson's YouTube channel has nearly three million subscribers. Yeah, an,
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize it was that big.
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, he does a lot of fun stuff on
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: his YouTube, like what like, so he did the whole
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: thing a couple of years ago where he's got this
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: huge house right obviously because he's made a ton of
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: money in his life. But he's got all these windows
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: in his house. Well, he's set up he's got a
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: hole in his backyard. He tried to hit a ball
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: over his house and have it be a hole in one.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: And he did this for days and days and days
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: until he finally did it. But he's hitting towards his
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: house that is covered in glass windows and trying to
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: get a hole in one in his backyard. So he
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: eventually did it. And he just does a lot of
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: stuff on his channel like that, Like he'll set up
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: a cup upstairs in his house somewhere and he'll hit
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: from a mat on the downstairs and try to get
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: the golf ball in the cup. And he just does
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: all this fun stuff.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: I like that. Trick shops you will. I've got to
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: go watch it. Then.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: But did you also realize that he made the comment
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: his income from golf and content creation are roughly equal.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: I believe that that was astonishing to me. Do you really, well,
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: I guess it. How much money can you make from
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: YouTube and social media? Evidently it's quite a bit. I
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: have no idea.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's all based on like time time viewed
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: and the time people spend on your page and stuff
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: like that. So I mean, I don't know that there's
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: even a limit of how much you could make via YouTube.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: Well, the other thing he expressed was his uncertainty with golf,
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: he noting that Live could be ending, which we all
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: know it should end. I mean, come on, let's just
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: go ahead and end it now. Nobody I shouldn't say
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: no one's watching it, but there are very few people
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: that watch it. That's just to me, been one of
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: the biggest busts as far as I'm concerned. And he
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: said he's not certain if he'll return to the PGA
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: because it's unclear if he'll be welcomed or not.
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: Well, not only that, he also mentioned wanting to concentrate
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: on growing his YouTube even further than it is right now.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: But the only worry I have with that is Bryson D.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: Chambeau right now is very relevant because he's a current
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: golfer and that's why people flock to his YouTube. If
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: he's not in golf anymore, I don't think his YouTube
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: keeps up the way it's going. I mean, I do.
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: I think there would be a steady decline at some
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: point where people are just tired of the same old bit.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: So in my opinion, I would love to see him
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: back on the PGA. I do think he would be welcomed.
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: He feels like one of the live guys that all
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: the PGA guys still get along with. They know what
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: he can do to help them grow the game of golf.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: The crowds love him. He's interactive with the crowd. I
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: think he would be great to get back on the
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: PGA tour.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: See, at one point within the last two or three years,
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: he was a villain right for sure, and and everybody
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: disliked him because he was making all kinds of unusual comments,
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: going to live and all that kind of stuff.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: But I think he's kind of.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Apologized to a degree with his antics and tried to
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: re engage with all the fans. And I like that
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: because I was one of those guys that didn't really
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: care for him. But I'm back to a point where
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: I kind of like him. It seems like he's tried
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: to completely change his image in a positive way, and
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. So since he's doing that to me,
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: I think he should try to get back to the PGA.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a maybe that's a way
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: justin of him to say test the waters if if
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: liv goes away, are they going to.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Accept me back into the PGA.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: And that's and if there are a few players out
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: there and say yeah, we would want or the fan
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: base is saying we want you to come back, of course,
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: that would be an easier way to to get it
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: back into the PGA regular tour.
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: Well, I think for him it's more along the lines
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: of the stipulations to get back on the tour are
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: pretty steep, as they should be for anyone who left
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: the tour to go collect a five hundred million dollars
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: paycheck or whatever he got. But I think it's just
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: that that he doesn't want to deal with. I mean,
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: you're kind of seeing it with brooks Koepka. He's not
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: been in a lot of fields he's had. He's been
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: the alternative or alternate alternate, goodre alternate alternate in a
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: number of events. He's playing in the CJ cupp this weekend,
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: which is a tournament that brooks Kepka should not be in.
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: But they asked him about it. He says, Hey, I
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: don't get to tee it up every week like I
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: used to. So if there's a tournament that I can
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: get in, I don't care what it is, I'm gonna play.
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: And that's kind of the route that d Chambau would
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: have to go as well if he got back in.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: So it's it's not gonna be immediate. It's gonna take
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: you several years to get your footing back on the
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: PGA tour. And I think with d Chambeau, he's just
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: weighing is that even worth it? At this point?
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Are you going to watch the Indy five hundred on Sunday?
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: You're not?
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not an Indy car guy. And in the
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: Indianapols five hundred, the tracks just entirely too big. Yeah,
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: it doesn't do anything for me.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: I would wonder. I wonder, Well, we'll see after it's done.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: But you I don't know if you saw it or not.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: But the Pretnus had the highest viewership it had in years,
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: no way, which was really surprise.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: You think, so, okay, well, I'm just I'm just telling
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: you what I read, so you can go check it
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: fact check me.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: I know you're going to during the break.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: But uh, I just wonder what the put your hands down,
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, I just wonder what the uh
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: viewership will be like for the Indy five hundred. Do
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: more people watch the Kentucky Derby than the Indy five hundred,
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: I think they do so. Yeah, But I think kind
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: of the cool story though, is that the kid from
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: Louisville is going to be racing Jacob Abel exactly so.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: But I think that that I think a lot of
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: people Louisville will paid titt maybe not watch the entire race,
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: but pay attention to it well just because of the
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: local flair. I mean, the last time we've had somebody
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: from Louisville in the Indy five hundred nineteen eighty five
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: winner Danny Sullivan. And I remember Danny Sullivan.
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: I think A was in it last year.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: He was in it last year. They kept talking about
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: this is his rookie season.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe I thought he was he Maybe I thought
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: he made it last year, but maybe he did.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: I could be thinking I saw him race down here
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: in Saint Pete last year. Maybe that's in the race
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: they have in Saint Petersburg downtown Saint Pete, which is
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun. You can watch the whole race there.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm like you with eighty five hundred. I
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: was the one and only time I went. It was
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: boring and no offense. I don't care if I ever
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: go back.
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: Well, and it's gonna be frustrating on Sunday. I'm here
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: to tell you that right now. With the rain moving through,
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: there's gonna be a lot of stoppages during that race.
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: It's it's not gonna be a fun watch. I don't think.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we gotta take another break.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: If you'd like to text in five O two four
• 55:41

• 56:50
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm sucking on some cough drops. We're you know,
• 56:53
  Speaker 5: we've been gargling some olive oil. You know, you gotta
• 56:59
  Speaker 5: you gotta go to really like tune the things up.
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: I've uh, hey, you know, we had this one on
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: the docket for a while. I had yours on the
• 57:06
  Speaker 5: docket for a while. But see, Michael, I couldn't get
• 57:08
  Speaker 5: out of bed on Wednesday. And once you get some
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: antibiotics and you feel a little bit better, and I
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: feel a little bit.
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: Better, I get it.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're drugged up.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, well the good I would rather you not be
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: on my show drugged up. So yeah, you go do
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: the country one and you'll be fine. So I won't
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: worry about it.
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: I will be very drugged up and we will be
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: good to go. I hope you're good to go.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: Michael.
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: Did you win any money when you were playing the
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: ponies up in Maryland or not?
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: Nick, Let's just say my horse is I think still
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: on the track running, so hasn't completed hasn't completed the
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: race yet, So no, it wasn't It wasn't a great
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: day for the Old Senior Kills Stable.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: But that's okay. We had a good time, good good.
• 57:54
  Speaker 5: It looked like a nice time out there. I had
• 57:57
  Speaker 5: the exact and the last race to get some money back.
• 58:00
  Speaker 5: So yeah, got right now in Kentucky. But hey, they're
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: still running them at Churchill. We can still get them
• 58:06
  Speaker 5: back and we're gonna have a good Memorial Day week
• 58:08
  Speaker 5: at rain or Shot.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: Well exactly because I know you've really been bragging about
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: because I wanted to teach you because you know you
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: wouldn't do my show, but you're doing another show today,
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: and that's okay. I'm just I'm just you know, I'm
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: messing with you. But you've really been promoting this horse
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: race that's coming up at Churchill Downs. Amongst all these horses,
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, some real talent is coming here. How excited
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: are you about this race? The Stephen Foster?
• 58:38
  Speaker 5: It's pretty awesome because I think the worst part about
• 58:41
  Speaker 5: horse racing is the racing to breed sort of mindset
• 58:45
  Speaker 5: that so many have, where you know, as soon as
• 58:48
  Speaker 5: you fall in love with these horses, they retire right. Well,
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: they brought sovereignty back to be a four year old
• 58:53
  Speaker 5: and he didn't win his last time out. He actually
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: was yeah great white, Yeah white Barrio, well sovereignty white
• 59:02
  Speaker 5: to Barrio. They're both going to be at the Stephen
• 59:04
  Speaker 5: Foster that's the premier race for older horses at Churchill
• 59:09
  Speaker 5: You're also got Skippy Longstocking who won the Dubai World Cup,
• 59:13
  Speaker 5: Baeza who ran third in all those Triple Crown races
• 59:16
  Speaker 5: last year, and in Magnitude who. I can't remember what
• 59:20
  Speaker 5: big race, but it's pretty cool that they're they're they're
• 59:23
  Speaker 5: giving us a big race for older horses at Churchill
• 59:27
  Speaker 5: Down's in the middle of summer. The purse is two
• 59:29
  Speaker 5: million bucks in it. That was the one bummer about
• 59:31
  Speaker 5: the pretness. It didn't feel like a Grade one Triple
• 59:34
  Speaker 5: Crown race. Just looking at the field, this feels like
• 59:37
  Speaker 5: a two million dollar perse whining you get in Breeders'
• 59:40
  Speaker 5: Cup race like this. This is what the sport of
• 59:42
  Speaker 5: horse racing needs is races like this.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more now. The one thing Justin said a
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: little bit ago because I made the comment that you
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: need to come and hang out with me at Churchill Down,
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: so you could. I don't know if you've experienced what
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: I get to experience there on a daily basis. But
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: you know, come out there and you can go to
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: the paddock with me, you can go to the winner
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: circle with me. We'll go to the backside again. But uh,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, Justin says, Michael, you
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: couldn't handle Justin, And for that fact, I don't think
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: just uh, I couldn't handle Nick.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: And for that fact, Nick couldn't handle me.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: How do you take a comment like that coming out
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: of the mouth of Justin Kaylin.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: You know, I just don't think he wants to see
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 5: two fiery folks cheering on horses. At the same time,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 5: I think he's a little worried that we might be
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 5: a deadly combination if your horse gets to the finish
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 5: line first. Because I tell you what, Michael, I actually
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 5: had never done the paddock finish line deal before. But
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 5: we ran into a friend who had a horse in
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 5: the last race on Saturday, and nice boy, if that
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 5: horse didn't hate the Mud, we would have had one
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 5: hell of a time. Yeah, not like the mud. So
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: we were, we were geared up, We had been We
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 5: pregamed very hard for the occasion. Underdown us, and then
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 5: we stumbled on down there saw Dale. Dale remembered us
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 5: from our me from our interviews. Oh that was fun. Yeah,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 5: so it was. It was a good time even though
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: we did not we did not get our home. We're
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 5: so first.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear you right there all right before we
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: let you go, because I know you got to go
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: do that other little show, uh that not many people
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: listen to, but they'll listen to you because you know
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: that you do a phenomenal job. But uh, as far
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: as Malachai, what is your prediction on Malachi coming back
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: in mom Chilovic.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 5: I think Malikai. I think we're gonna hear that he's
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 5: returning on Monday. I'm gonna I'm gonna even put a
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 5: date on it. I'm gonna say that he because I
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 5: just it just it just makes too much sense in
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 5: my brain. It just does financially from a development standpoint,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 5: you know all the above, Mam Chilovich is one where
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 5: like you almost need moreno to announce on Monday so
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 5: he can help you recruit mom Chilovich to come back.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 5: I just I'm not worry with him as he might
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 5: just have the mind so that he's done with college.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 5: I think that's the only thing that's keeping him from
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: coming back to the college range is like, he's just like,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 5: you know what, I've done this long enough. I'm ready
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: to go try out to him.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: Well, but sometimes money talks, so you never know. Because
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: he'll make a lot more money in college than he
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: would That's the only reason I would think he'd come back.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: He'll he'll make more at college than he will be
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: in a sept round, the second round pick for whatever
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: team he's gonna be playing with. So, man, you are
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: everywhere every time it turned around. You are either on
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: multiple podcasts, radio shows.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you ever slow down?
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 5: Nick Raush, I had to do this week. It's stupid.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 5: I strep throat. I forgot how much it sucked. It sucked,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 5: let me tell you. And hell, I'm about to is
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 5: our COMFD talking to you like this is the dumbest thing.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 5: I'm like, this is a child sickness. Why do I
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 5: feel so bad? So that is that's the only thing
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 5: that can slow me down. So tell me full of
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 5: emergency and let's let's keep this train rolling.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: I love that pumping full of emergency.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: Justin You're often quiet over there for a guy that
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: you know, you've known for a long time.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, you were hating on me, so I got my friend.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 5: I was.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: Just simply saying, you guys are too loud. Guys, I
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: think you would scare all the horses. That would be
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: my concern.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Nick Roush, always appreciate you coming on
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: for just a couple of minutes.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: Good to hear from you, my friend.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 5: Good to hear from me too. We'll see you around, Michael.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: It sounds good. All right.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: Then that's Nick Roush of you know, multiple outlets. I mean,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not kidding. It's hard to keep up with what
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: podcast he is doing or what he's it is it is.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: I didn't get to talk about football. We should have
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: asked him a couple of questions about football, but he's yeah,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: he's got time. Who cares. It's just a two hour
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: little show that not many people will be listening to,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: So don't worry about that. I mean, you know, more
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: people are listening to the Big X than they are
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: that other stations. That does that mean for me to say?
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think so?
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: Just simply true? All right.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: What do you think about the Knicks winning and getting
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: a two to zero lead over the Cavaliers last night.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: I think this series is over.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: Do you really? Oh yeah, why do you say that?
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just a combination of things, like James
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: Harden doesn't have luck in the playoffs. They've won two
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: series with him. Donovan Mitchell can't win the big one.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: So it just it feels like with the way that
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: especially that they lost that first game after having a
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: big lead with what seven minutes left, and you choke
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: that away and you lose that first game. Then you
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: come out last night and that first half they looked
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: pretty good, but that third quarter the Knicks blitzed them,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: and I just I don't know. I think the Cavs
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: are going to be very fortunate to get one game
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: in this series.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: Well, and by the way, the.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: Guard for come on Mitchell, Donovan Mitchell, the other one Harden.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: How old is that guy? Have you seen him?
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: When they interview him, He looks like he's almost fifty
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: years old, Jasar, he looks older than that.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: You know that the beard is his trademark and it's
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: always bugged me. I don't know, yeah it is, And
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: all I can always say. The first thing I think
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: of is how much food gets caught in that and
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: what do you do at that point? But yeah, exactly,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: you do that. But you know, they did the thing
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: with that irritates me. Uh, last night they went through
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: the celebrity crowd. It's kind of cool to see Jason
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: Bateman and Jason Sedeika sitting together. They did the whole
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: Ben Stiller. People on social media were brutal to Ben Stiller,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: by the way, really saying he's not a celebrity anymore,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: he hadn't done anything and in fifteen years. I mean,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: they were brutal to him. They showed Alex Rodriguez I
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: always loved seeing and they referred to him as Johnny Mack.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: I do love him being Johnny Mack, Johnny Mauez, Alex Rodriguez, Yeah, yeah,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: and then Johnny Mack. And then I thought the funny
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: part was they showed John bon Jovie and the announcer said, yeah,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: they were just playing one of his songs, Living on
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: a Prayer and he was singing along with his own song.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: So I found that really. But I like John bon Jovie.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: I've never really cared for his music, but I like
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: the guy. I mean, he just seems like a normal guy.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: And then of course they showed Chris Rock. And then
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: what I thought was funny, somebody put out there a
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: video of CBS Sports talking about the game and the
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: celebrities that were there, and they showed a picture and said, oh,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: look there's Cedric the Entertainer. And guess what it wasn't
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: Cedric the Entertainer. It was Bernard King, the famous Nicks.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: Did you see that. I mean, they just they were
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: talking about like those Oh yeah, there's Cedric the entertainer
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: because it had you know, entertainer always has that one
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: kind of hat he always wears. But I mean the
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: fact that he was he knew that was said the
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: entertainer when it was actually Bernard Key just cracked me up.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: But uh, anyway, I just wish they would stop that
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: every now and then. I don't know why they do that,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: but uh, I just think it's funny. I'm losing something here,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: But all right, tonight, the Spurs plays the Thunder at
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: eight thirty. Now that one's a little closer. It's one one.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: I'm like you, I think the Knicks are going to
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: go on and win this. Now as far as the
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: Spurs Thunder, who's got the home field advantage for this series.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: Do you remember, I don't remember Thunder. It is the Thunder. Okay, yeah,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: that's right, it is the Thunder. So, I mean, that's
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: the only reason I'm going to give it to Thunder
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: is because the home field advantage.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna give it to the Thunder as well, but
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: it's for a completely different reason. The Spurs are banged up.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: Dylan Harper got a little nicked up the other night.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he's gonna play tonight deeron Fox.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: We have yet to see him in this series. If
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: you get even one of those guys back, I think
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: the Spurs have a really good chance to win this series.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: If you don't get either of them back, I think
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: they're cooked as well. Yeah, but they are the favorite tonight.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised to see that the Spurs. Yeah, by point,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: that's interesting.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: I wonder why is it in San Antonio.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: That's why. That's the only reason why. So that's not
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: that big of a spread though, five points, I mean
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: with a home field advantage.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: Oh I thought you said.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: Five Oh no, no, no, no, no, that's a toss
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: up game then yea. So just because no it's a
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: toss up, so I think the thunder is going to
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: win it. I think that I'm gonna I might be
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: switching now if if the Knicks come out, I might
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: pick the Knicks. Karl Anthony Towns is going to do it.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: That's because I've said the whole time that's who I'm
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: rooting for.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: I got a bad feeling about it.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: I got a good feeling about it. And then the
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: sad news before we go to break, I did want
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: to talk about this. This is just terrible NASCAR driver.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: I know you talked about a lot on your show.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: Kyle Busch passed it away at the age of forty
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: one years old. Now, they said it was an undisclosed
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: serious illness. Have you heard anything else what it was.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: I mean there's been people on Twitter kicking stuff around,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: but until we know, there's really no point in speculating.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, that is just anytime someone passes away at
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: such a young age, and forty one is young to me.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: Even when I was forty one, it was young to me.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: But man, that's just that's terrible. Yeah that was now
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: he was the villain of NASCAR, right, Yeah, I mean,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: he wasn't very liked. He's just it's the way he drives,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: the way he talks to his team. I mean, he's
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: just he was kind of an ass, and I hate
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: saying that with him.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: He's passing. But yeah, there wasn't very many people that
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: were actively big fans of Kyle Busch. But yeah, you can't.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: You can't knock the greatness that came out of it.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: He's won more races on the NASCAR circuit than anybody
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: ever has. Between the Truck Series, Infinity Series, and the Cup.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: He's won two hundred and thirty four races. Like That's
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: that's unbelievable. So I can't I may not have liked
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: the guy, but I can't sit here and say that
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: he wasn't one of the greatest to ever do it.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well yeah, because I'm not gonna say
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: any I know the name, but that's all I know
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: because I don't know NASCAR that well. But I just
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: anytime I see something like that and an untimely death,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: it's just I hate it. So, I mean, I'm sorry
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: for the family as well. But anyway, we gotta take
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: our last break. If you want to text me, we'll
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: get back to those Texas soon as we'll get back
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: Bible two four fifty. And then who are the Chicago
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: Bulls considering for their head coach? I mean, this is
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: kind of crazy. And then also I do want to
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: talk about uh, Steve Sarcassian throwing under the bus a
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: Texas team and his former conference.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just that was bizarre.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that too, stay right there, one more
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: segment of just on this Friday.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 6: So, yeah, you are all over the place today.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this is horrible. You like this?
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: Well, it's it's okay, it's Billy Ocean was okay, Okay,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: that's all I'll say right there. That's as nice as
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: I can be about Billy Ocean. But it's not anything
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: that I would be listening to right now. I I
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't put him as bad as Abbab're.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: Your hate for Abbas is ridiculous. I don't like them
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: real You like that?
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: Okay? That's good?
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: Balls?
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: Oh please yet? No, No, that's not Abba. Is it is?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: It isn't it?
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: No?
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: Ninety nine red balloons is not Abba. It is Okay,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: you it is not. I'm positive, by the way, Okay, Nina.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: Not even close to being Abba. You you're terrible. Uh
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: but anyway, talking about terrible, that was horrible right there.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: Uh talking about terrible. Did you see where the Chicago
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: Bulls are considering Jerry Stackhouse as their next head coach?
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: Could be worse?
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: How can it be?
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: All right, he'll be the dressed, the best dressed, uh
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: since pat Riley as the head coach. But his record
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: at Vanderbilt was seventy and ninety two. He had a
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: forty three winning percentage there in five seasons.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean not.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: As bad as Jamal moseleyt Orlando.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: But Stackhouse came out and said that if he got
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: the nil backing the way that Byington is, then he
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: would have had Vanderbilt as a powerhouse as well.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: I don't believe it.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: You gotta keep that in mind.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: I don't believe it. Do you believe he could have?
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 4: No?
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you? So why are the Bulls even considered?
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: I just don't understand why these teams want to hire
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: coaches that don't have winning records. Go get an assistant
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: coach and give them a chance instead of hiring a
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: coach that has a losing record to your team.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I would.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: Do the NBA. It doesn't matter as much to me
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: personally because you don't I disagree a great coach at
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: the NBA level, the coach or the players are going
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: to coach themselves more times than not. But Stackhouse played
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: in the NBA for many, many years. He knows what
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 3: it takes to succeed in that league. I think, honestly,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: I think he could be one of those coaches that
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: would do better at the NBA level than he did
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: in college.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just going to disagree with you. I think
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: it's going to be the same result and the Bulls
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: will be just just be a ludicrous decision if they decided.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: To agreed once today.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think we've agreed once in the past
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: three or four days, so you're exactly correct. What do
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: you think about Texas football coach Steve Sarcasian taking a
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: shot at a team in his state and former conference.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: He said, there's a team in our state in another
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: conference with a schedule. I would argue, if I played
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: with our twos and threes, we could go undefeated and
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: they'll probably make the College Football Player Playoffs this year.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: He's gotta be talking Texas Tech.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: He's exactly talking about Texas Tech exactly. Of course, it's like, well,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, weren't you just in that conference a
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: little over a year ago. Would he have said the
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: same thing if he was in that conference?
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: I think so.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: You think he.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: Would have said that same thing if he was still
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: in the Big twelve.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, if he's saying it now, I wouldn't even
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: said it then.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: He would not have said it then because he's got
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: his because that hurts his image as far as a
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: football program.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: The fact that.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: He's playing in a very easy conference, that if he
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: started his second team and third team, they could go
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: undefeated through his conference schedule. That's a knock on the conference. No, okay,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: finally we agreed. Okay, good. I feel so much better now.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: And then I love this. The Texas Tech GM fired back.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: Now it's a bunch of excuses, was his comeback. I
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: thought that was kind of a lame comeback. But anyway,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: he's not wrong, Steve Sarcine. I just I just didn't
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: like the fact that he's throwing a team in his
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: own state and in the conference he was literally in
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: just two years ago.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, he was right the fact that Texas Tech
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: is in all likelihood gonna make the playoffs and they shouldn't.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: But I don't know that it's gonna be because the
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: easy schedule. I think they could beef up their schedule
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: a little bit and they're still going to have success
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: because of how much money they have and they went
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: out and they got basically whoever they wanted out of
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 3: the transfer portal. I think Texas Tech's going to be
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: really really good because of the players on their team,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: not because of the schedule.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: Oh. I think it's a combination of both.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: I think, yeah, they probably have some good players on there,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: but you know, the schedule really helps you. That's I
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: just wish the Steve Carsasians out there would go after
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame, not not teams that are in conferences.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: That's the team they should really And why more.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: Coaches don't speak up against Notre Dame because Notre Dame
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: has the easiest road compared forget about the Big twelve
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: in the easy schedule that Texas Tech is going to have,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: what excuse does Notre Dame have and they're going to
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: be invited every single time?
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: That's just not fair.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: It's not fair to a team like Kentucky or any
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: team in the SEC Big Ten or any of the
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: conferences out there. It is not fair at all, and
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: why they don't go pick on Notre Dame is just
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: beyond me.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: I think we're just we're tired of the whole Notre
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 3: Dame rhetoric. Like people can gripe about them all they want,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: whether it be a code or radio host, you name it.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: Nothing's gonna change with Notre Dame. I mean, they're they're
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: locked in with one of the best positions you can
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: be in in all of sports.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, but but you know what, since it's not fair,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: they need to make them force them to change it
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: and join a conference. I don't care what conference you join.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: Just join a conference. That's what's going to make it fair.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: One person said, I believe the Preakness numbers. A racing
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: event with fourteen horses, a chance to gamble and that
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: finishes under two minutes is as easy watch. I was
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: really surprised that they had a feel of fourteen. I
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: wouldn't run a horse at Laurel Park. Well, I understand,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: neither would I, but I didn't have the final say.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: So you're correct on the pretnous viewership. So you know
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: you don't believe me. Everybody's telling me, I'm right, No,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: it was the highest.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying that I didn't believe you. I just
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: I don't necessarily believe those numbers like it doesn't to me.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense that it would have been the highest,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: and it doesn't.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: Make sense to them either.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: When I saw that, I'm with you right there because
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: of the fact that it's like, well, it's not at Pimlico,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: it's at Laurel Park.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: It's not normal.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: You don't have the derby horses in it like you
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: did before. Why is this, all of a sudden the
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: largest viewership. It didn't make any sense to me either.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: Legendary driver AJ Foyt was an avid horse owner. I
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: didn't know that the best to carry his coyote or
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: in silks was rare brick. Thank you, forty eight Handley.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: That's some more. I didn't know about that good music today,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: justin thanks that seems sincere. That's from Patrick, So you
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: don't you don't believe him, do you?
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: Oh? If it's from Patrick, it is okay.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: I agree with I agree with Scoots.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: On Stackhouse being a good candidate. But players coach themselves
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: as crazy they do.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: Do you think so.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: Those guys have been playing basketball for so long, you coaching?
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: They don't need. They just need guidance. They don't need coaching.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: I'm truthfully of the mindset that NBA coaches are simply
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 3: in their position to manage eCos. I don't I don't
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 3: think they have to do much with the x's and
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: o's because those guys are wicked smart.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: Why why couldn't a coach like Caliperi Patino? Why couldn't
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: they succeed in the NBA? Are they more a pure
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: coach because they they don't because they have an ego themselves.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: Oh you think that's what it is? So you need
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: no ego to be able to do it. Okay, all right,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this, but one thing
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about before we leave. City of
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: New York is offering one thousand heavily discounted tickets for
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: the World Cup for only residents. Did you see that
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: the tickets are going to cost fifty dollars, which is
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: a huge drop on the average. Yes, now, fifty dollars
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: to the met Life Stadium. Of course, the average ticket
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: right now met Life Stadium for the World Cup twenty
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: seven and forty nine dollars. That's just crazy, So good
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: for New York for doing something like that to let
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: people in there to uh that can't afford it at
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: fifty dollars is more doable, isn't it.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: For sure?
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: Now they'll probably have to pay out the butt for concessions.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: That's where they're gonna make. It'll be one thousand dollars
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: for a hot dog and two thousand dollars for a
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: diet coke, so that's where they'll get you.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: But anyway, all right.
• 1:21:14
