• 1:15
  Speaker 1: my thirst and then wake up and I have to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: go get water, and it's it's it's really annoying because
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I live in the basement, so I gotta walk. I
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: gotta get out of bed, walk all the way upstairs
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to the kitchen, go get water, drink it, come back downstairs.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You know all this stuff. Now I'm awake, basically, I'm
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: awake at that point. But that was around like five
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: thirty in the morning.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Well that's what time I'm getting up. So what's a
• 1:34

• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a pretty pretty warm night for that as well. And
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: it's a it's the weekend. I'm excited about the weekend.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: It's supposed to be eighty eight degrees on Sunday, which
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: is crazy, and you look good in your king's head.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: I liked.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I like the old school golf hat, you know, with
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the rope going across the brim of it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: You look really good.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: You're all in on the Kings, aren't you.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I am. It's fun. Like, it's been a great time.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: We did our you know, our show three Men in
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Front yesterday covering it. That was great. We got to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: give away tickets to the game yesterday. That was awesome.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Got to do that. It's it's been. It's something that
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I'm a big I like. I'm a big guy if
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I like things going on in the city that I'm in. Like,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: no matter where I go, I always want to live
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: somewhere that has things going on. And I will appreciate
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that in my lifetime. Louisville does a good job of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: always giving something for the citizens to do in the summertime,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Listen, for the smallest city as Louisville is, it's a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: very active city. And uh just and not just that,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I think we have some of the best culture bar
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: none for the size city we are. I'm you know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: people gonna make fun of me, but between the actors
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: that come in here and and the plays that come
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: in here, the ballet, the orchestra, all the arts are covered.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: And then I really believe we have some of the
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: best restaurants in the country are none and anywhere from
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: mom and pop all the way to really nice restaurants.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: And I've always said, it's the reason we have such
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: good restaurants in Louisville is because of Sullivan, because of
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the chef's school over there.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and a lot of these chefs come in here.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what I've always thought is that you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the chefs come in here and they to go to
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: school to become chefs, and that they they end up
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: loving our city, staying here and opening up their own restaurant.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And I just I've always thought that, and I think
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: it's great because I'm very partial to it. And then
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you mix in the Bourbon part of it. I just
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I think we have a great city. When people move here,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: more times than not, they end up staying in Louisville,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: even though they say, yeah, I'm just going to be
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: here a few years. Well, like my next door neighbor
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: from Detroit, Michigan obviously worked for Ford for a number
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: of years, and he said, yeah, he was running the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: truck plan out there off of Geene Snyder, and he
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: ended up staying here, even though I think three other times,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: including a stint in Asia for about four years. He
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: kept his house here and he would just come back
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: every now and then. That that house who just remained empty,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: big house that just was completely empty for the time
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: he was out in Asia. Now he's retired from Ford,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: done very well. But it's just it's just amazing with
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: all the stuff we have going on here, and I'm happy.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: The only thing I wish we had was a major
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: league team. That's the only thing you've heard me talk
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: about that. I wish we had something that's major league. Uh,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I don't care what it is. I just wish it. Well,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: yeah I did, I kind of do. I mean I'd
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: probably want I'd won NBA, NFL, which was a pipe dream.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball, I think, which is a pipe dream.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And you know, if we could ever get NHL, I
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: think people would fall in love with it.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I've always been on the NBA train. Obviously, I'm a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: big NBA fan. I follow the least the whole life.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: And the one thing I can say is that a
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: lot of true basketball fans across the country also have
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Louisville as a city on their mind. When you know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: because a lot of talks of Adam Silver wanted to expand.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: It looks like Seattle and Vegas are going to be
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the next two teams, but Louisville is still in that pot.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: They bring it up in every single meeting, every single
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: time the board gets together talk about cities. Louisville's always
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: in that top five, top four spot. So the hope
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that Louisville gets an NBA team is slim, but it
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: is still there. I think within my lifetime, our lifetime,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: that we will see it happen. To say it that way,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: but I appreciate it, and I realized how I worded
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that it was not good. So in our lifetime, I
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: think we will see it happen, or at least they'll
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: at least try. The one thing I can say about
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: it is that's a big reason why I get behind
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: all of the teams in Louisville so much. Like I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: love the Bats, I love I love Louisville City, I
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: love Racing FC, I love the like I'm already all
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: in on the Kings as beginning suck up. If we
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: want professional sports in Louisville, you have to get behind
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the sports we have. We have to support the sports
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: we have, because if you don't show up for any
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of these games, if you don't show up for the teams,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: if you don't give them anything that doesn't like Roger
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Goodell is not gonna be like, well, I mean, nobody
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: shows up for that semi pro team over there, So
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: what makes me want to build a whole stadium forum,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: move a whole team down there, and that Adam Silver
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: is gonna say, okay, well, we have to technically buy
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the Young Center because Louisville doesn't want to sell it
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: to anybody. Why do I want to invest all this
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: money if these guys can't even show up for their
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: college team, If these guys can't to show up for
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the So you if you want a professional team in Louisville,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and this isn't just Michael As, everybody show up for
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the teams that are at Lovell right now, you gotta
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: buy in. Now, you gotta show that there is an
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: untapped sports market in Louisville.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Well, here is why we will never get an NFL
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: team because we're surrounded by NFL teams well, I can
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: just tell you right now unless they become so disgruntled
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: in Innanapolis, Cincinnati, or Nashville that they would move here.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: But I don't ever see NFL come into Louisville. I
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: just I don't. As far as baseball, I kind of
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: feel the same way. I don't think. I don't want
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: to say Louisville would never support it. I'm not going
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: to agree with that. So many people are out there
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: say well, we're not going to support the NBA. It's like, well,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: it's a bunch of U of L fans that are
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: saying that, yes, we are going to support the NBA.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: And you know, last time we had the chance, the
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: athletic director at u of L and the basketball coach
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: did not want that to come because they saw that
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: as major competition. And I understand that, but I would
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: like to try because there's a number of people in
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: this city that don't care about U of L. They
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: want to see an NBA team. I mean, I bet
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: you there's a number of U of L fans that
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: would like to have NBA as well. Now it's gonna
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: be a hard choice for them, which they're gonna get
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: season tickets, but don't you think that majority of the
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: city that is U of L fans don't have season
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: tickets and they just casually go to a game every
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: now and then, and maybe they split it up, go
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to a few U of L games and go to
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: an NBA game. I just know NBA would succeed, and
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you the NHL would be here
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: to succeed if they would. Because there's no NHL team.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: The closest one to us is either Nashville or Columbus.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Oh how, I'm here to tell you that would be
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun. If you've never seen an NHL
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: game live and you say, yeah, I'm not interested, don't
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: say anything else until you go to a game. Because
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I was the same way. I said I didn't care
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: about NHL until I went to a game live and
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: It was the greatest event I've ever been to.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, I had a ball at an NHL game,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: and I just I feel like young Sinner could support
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: something like that.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I the only one of those that I do still
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: push back on is the MLB team, not because I
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: don't think that fans would support I think everybody would
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: get behind it. Everybody loves professional sports and everybody you know.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I think that city is a very rich baseball city,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: but it's the fact that just because of the whole
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the way the MLBS ran and like there's no salary
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: cap for anything. I think it was yeah, as a
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: city would struggle to support the team financially, and then
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: it would be like a Cincinnati situation, like it'd be like, Okay,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: they'll be good about like the playoffs every once in
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a while, but they won't really do much in NBA team.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I think the entire city would come in droves for that.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: You don't see this big professional sports following in Louisville
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: for team to team because we don't have one. So
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I think we talked about it before that Louisville is
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a very weird city where everybody's NFL, NBA hockey team.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: They're all different, right, so like some some people are
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: are Nashville Predators fans, some people are Titans fans, some
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: people Patriots fans, weel Packers fans. Because we don't have anything, right,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: we don't have anything. So it's one where if you
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: put it here, people will show up. People in Louisville
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: just want to watch sports. People will give it a try. Now,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: does that absolutely it's going to succeed forever. No, if
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: they suck, they probably you know, it might fail. There's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: always a chance for that. But also I also agree
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that if you put an NHL team in Louisville, that'd
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: be the most successful sport we possibly have. There's such
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a Midwestern lifestyle here in Louisville, or you know, coming
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: from north, coming from Wisconsin, stuff like that, an AHL
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: team would do really well.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I'm going to disagree with you right there. This is
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: not a Midwestern lifestyle. I'm proud of Louisville being a
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: southern town. I get so sick and it is a
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: southern town. Louisville, Kentucky is very southern. Please it is southern.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Stop it then, you know what. I'm glad you're moving away.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Come tell me what Kentucky Derby that's southern, very much so.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: It's southern. It's a very southern tradition.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I feel like that the way we talk, our accents
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: are very southern.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's more midwestern.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, you are so wrong. I mean, just mute your
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: mike the rest of the two hours. Somebody call in
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and just be my co host the rest of the time,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: because you know, all Matthew wants to do is chow
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: down and talk about how this is a Midwestern town.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: This is not a Midwestern town. By the way, I
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: do want to talk about your Pacers because I know
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: how much you love the Indiana Pacers.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Have you seen this is going pretty viral about the
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Pacers TV and the two fans that are talking. Apparently
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: it's a boyfriend and a girlfriend and people are trying
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: to figure out what they're both saying. They they they've
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: pretty much figured out what she's saying, but they haven't
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: been able to figure out what the boyfriend is saying
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: because she's saying, you know, blank you and it's it's
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: an interesting conversation and it's it's just I'm I have
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: literally become fascinated with this video.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw this video last night. There was almost
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: it's almost like an anomaly. Every single season there is
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: a video or a picture of Pacers fans doing something
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: hilarious court side. Like last season it was there were
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: two fans who are based I think they were heckling
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Lebron James in a Pacers game and they put the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: camera on them because they had to get escorted out
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: because Lebron was getting so annoyed with them that he
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: got them kicked out of the game, and they like
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: showed the camera and they did the whole like sad face,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: like pretaking to cry and walking off the court, and
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: that became a viral meme that like every time Lebron
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: would complain in the game, he would put that under
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the video. So I did see this. It's always funny.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Facers fans are great.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I'm right there with you because I'm I just retweeted
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: it out. If you want to see the video, I
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: tweeted it at just the Cat Radio. You can go
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: see it there. But I mean, she is just giving
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: him the business and he's just sitting there taking it.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: He's I mean he also is just like not shutting up,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: like he's just talking.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: He is yappy.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, he is like a little puppy that doesn't
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: know what to do that and this girl is just
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: not having it.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: I love this girl.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm to a point, man, if I wouldn't married,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I'd probably want to go out with her because she
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: is just giving him the business and not putting up
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I love her. He drives me up the Wall, he's
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: the annoying one.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I agree. I fully agree with that.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: That's it. Okay, Well that was pretty simple. So I
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: love it. Anytime the Pacers do something like that, I
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: do enjoy it, and I do love that people are
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: on there trying to ask Grok what is he saying.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: The problem is he covers his mouth and you can't
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: really see what he's saying.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: So much. You ever going to a paces game, Michael.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, I have. They're fun fun, it's a it's an absolute.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I've got some great friends up there. Sorry, Josh, uh
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: take a sip, but uh, I've got some great, very
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: close friends of mine that have known many years, that
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: have season tickets up there, and they've invited me several times.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: It's it. NBA games are a blast.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Fun.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So I don't pass that when I'm invited,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I don't pass that up. Just just like uh, my wife.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I think I've told you before. My wife made me
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: just you you you're in full support of every team
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: here in Louisville. My wife told me last year we
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: are going to a Louisville City game. I don't care
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: what you said or what you say, and I simply
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: said yes, ma'am, and so I went. I tried it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: That's enough for me. I just I don't like soccer.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I find it the most boring sport out there. I
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: tried it. I mean, I see the fans getting into
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the game. I mean, it was a it was a
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: reasonably good crowd. I just I don't get it.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: If I'm ever allowed to go to a King's game,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: which doesn't look up hear that I'll ever be allowed.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: But I think I would enjoy that because I think
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: the environment's great. I like the fans that are really
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: into this. Hopefully they get a good team and hopefully
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: they start winning some. But you know, it's on I'm
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: in Saint Pete right now. The game was just advertised
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Louisville versus Orlando, I mean on Fox fuck And so
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: you look at this and it's gonna be played tonight
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: all over the country. That's a huge boost for the
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: city Louisville. Knowing that first of all, they're hosting the game,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: and second of all that they're even talking about the city.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: You gotta believe the Chamber of Commerce is all over
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: this and loves the fact that Louisville has this team.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Now it's got to succeed, and maybe there's somebody out there,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: like you know what, with just like you were talking about,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: with the fan base that's supporting this team in this city,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: maybe we should consider Louisville as an expansion area expansion city.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: So I would hope that would happen, but you never know.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I think it will happen. I'm confident. I'm being positive
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: about it. I think that Louisville will eventually have a
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: professional sports team, and I don't know what sports that
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: will be. But like the first game of the season
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: was also on Fox, and I think it pulled in
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: like six hundred and eighty thousand viewers for that game.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: That was also during Final four, Like the Final four
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: was Wow, same time, like Duke and who do play
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: yukon Duken you College?
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: That was the comeback game, So yeah, they.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Pulled in six hundred and eight thousand viewers while the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Final four was going on. Wow, this will be the
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: only sporting event. The Masters will be over by that
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: time today, so that'll be the only sporting event on tonight.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see what the viewers are for
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: that game with nothing else going on, Like it's the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: only major sport playing.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Talking about the viewers, did you see uk what was it?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Iowa State game was number nine in most view games
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: in the NCAA tournament. This was huge numbers that they
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: had this year. What was it, nineteen million for the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: championship game.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I think it was the most viewed tournament they've had
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: yet so far.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, I saw that, and it's like, that is fantastic,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: and you know, and the only bad part is that
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: probably convinces them they're going to expand, which which I
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: don't like the expansion.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: But anyway, if.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: They make it to where it's a play in, then
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I don't have as much of a problem with that.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: But I mean, holy cow, those it was nineteen million
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: viewers for that championship game.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a ton. I mean, it's the thing is surprising.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: It was like an okay championship game. It wasn't the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: best I've ever seen, but it wasn't bad either. I
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: was fine with it. But it does it doesn't surprise
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: me the more people got their eyes on it now
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: now that it's basically a professional sport and these guys
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: are getting paid, the teams are better now. It's the
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: thing I don't.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Know if I I necessarily agree with you, though, why
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: was it just an okay championship game?
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Because I think it was a little better than okay.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Yu Khan did a really good job of, you know,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: staying within arm's reach of Michigan for almost the entirety
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: of the game, right, but they got in a foul
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: trouble early. Yakxel Lindeborg wasn't playing well due to his injury.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: You kind of just had this feeling in the back
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: of your mind that at some point Michigan was going
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: to catch their stride and go on a run and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: kind of put it away, and they did midway through
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the second half. They made it a buffer his own game.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Yu Kon did a good job of coming back, but
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: then immediately Michigan stomped it out and you know, spread
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the lead again. So okay is a strong way to
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: put it. I think it was a predictable game, is
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: what I guess I should I could, Yeah, I.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: See, I would agree with that it was somewhat predictable
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: because I had predicted it was going to be twelve
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: points with about ten minutes left of Michigan's favorite but
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: then Yukon came back and they had a shot, and
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: you thought, well, is this going to be the situation
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: like they had with Duke? And they come back and
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: win this game. So, I mean, the game was a
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: little bit in thread, but I don't know. Apparently not
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: everybody's agreeing with me on this whole. Southern Louisville is
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: a southern town. We're gonna talk about that when we
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: come back. Stop it, stop stop, stop it. You're taking
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: the heck out of me. It is southern. Uh five

  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: This is Daryl from Paduca from yesterday's show. Yes, Dippin'
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Dots is still located in Paduca. I for some reason,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I thought they were gone and bought by another company.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Darryl. That's pretty cool. You have nothing to
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: say about that. You're just kind of looking at me.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: I was getting the next songwrity. But I mean, I mean,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, that's awesome. Good for Padua, it is,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: but I think it's great.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: I'm excited for Paducah.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: That's fun. Like their entire you know GDP down there Induca.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Probably so yeah, I mean, especially with they charge at
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: MLB because that's the only place. I well, no, that's
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: not necessarily true. I've seen him at basketball arenas.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Do you think that Like people from Aduca every time
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: they go somewhere were like, you know that we have
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: dippin' dots, right?
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: I think you should. My dad would be the same way.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: He was always proud of the town he was from, Nashville, Tennessee,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: and and also the town that he called home his
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: majority of his life, louis of Kentucky. He would always say,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: you know, Louisville slugger is made in Louisville, Kentucky. It's
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: no joke, Dad, I think everybody knows that. But no,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: my Kentucky. They would ask where are you from? And
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: he would, uh, well, you ever heard of Kentucky fried chicken,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: and so that's that's where I'm from. I'm from Louisll, Kentucky,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: where Kentucky fried chicken is made. Well, unfortunately that's not
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: the case anymore thanks to uh well, I won't get
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: into that, but one person said, as a transfer from Illinois,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Louisville and Cinci suburbs on this side of the river
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: are northern.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: The rest of Kentucky is southern. Let me think about that.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: As a transfer from Illinois, Louisville and Cincinnati suburbs on
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: the side of the river are northern, the rest of
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Kentucky is southern.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I think do you agree with that? I agree with that.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I think that I'm not really under different demographic than
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the rest of Kentucky has.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: You know, it's funny.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: You you go parts, you go parts of the city
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: and there are people that speak, yeah, probably in a
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Midwestern accent, and then but you go to other parts
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: of the city and they they speak with a very
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Southern accent.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: There is a huge twang to it. I'll give you that.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: It's it is exactly. I know it's called a border state,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: but it really is a border state like if you
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: go to I feel like there's a lot. I feel
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: like Kentucky has a lot of different dialects and accents
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: for one state to have, and I think that there
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: are good enough amount of Southern people.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I think majority of it's a Southern speaking state. I
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: mean you, there is definitely an accent here in Louisville.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: People are always asking me where are you from? Because
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: you got I'm always accused of having a Southern accent.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: But I'm from louisvill Kentucky. Do you not think I
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: have an accent?
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Not really? Okay, from the same place that you're from. So,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Exactly, So every time I go anywhere in this country
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: outside of Kentucky, especially outside the South, I'm always accused
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: of where's that accent from? And it's just like, I'm
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: from louis of Kentucky. Oh you're from the South. I
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: just I believe. I've always believed Louisville is in the South,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: and I get so sick and tired when people say
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: we're Midwestern.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: We're not even close to that.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: And to me, the state of Kentucky is in Do
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: you not believe Kentucky's in the South?
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: No? I mean if we're going. If we're going geographically,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: it's pretty close. But if we're going historically, it's a
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: northern state.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, then well I just you're so wrong.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is where the youth of today just
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: irritates me. And you know you're a part of it.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: But uh uh, they'll see, Josh Texan don't have to
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: buy the Young Center when they are dumping hundreds of
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: millions into Freedom Hall. And I'm assuming he's talking about
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: the NBA.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Are they doing? Are they dumping millions in Freedom Hall?
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Did you not know that?
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Justin and I talked about a couple of days ago.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: They are putting four hundred and fifty million dollars into
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Kentucky Fairy and ex Position Center, and a lot of it,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: a good portion of it is going into revamping Freedom Hall,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: putting in a new scoreboard, putting in a new seating there,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff that Well, that was my question
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: was why, like it's been this long? Why now? Well, see,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I'm with you, it's like it's been going on for
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: how long without any kind of I mean even Bellerman.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: I felt sorry for Bellerman for going to that cave,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: and I you know, it's it's it's it's been there
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: since nineteen fifty six.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: I think it's great.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know why, but I think it's great because
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: now we have a really historic venue that's getting revitalization
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: and hopefully, now guess what, we got a little competition
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: for the m Center, which really isn't bringing in any
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: kind of concerts if you want to go to a
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: concert in louisvill Kentucky. This is what's irritated me. When
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: the Young Center was first open, every band that was
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: touring wanted to come to the Young Center. That's all
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: gone away. Now it's just mostly country accent. You know,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I don't really care for country music. I'd like to
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: see Jimmy Buffett was coming there, the Eagles were coming there.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was who's who on who was touring.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Now we've lost all that. We haven't had really any
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: kind of big concerts come to Louisville. And maybe freedom
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: all will fight to get some halfway decent.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Entertainment to come to the city.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, like you said, it's a historic venue.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I got to I had season tickets to Louisville games
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: for all the way up until twenty ten when they
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: left and it was always fun to go there. But
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I just I need to know what specifically they're spending
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: the money on it for, like as like, is there
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: supposed to be a team going there?
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: Is?
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Like, especially if they're doing score war stuff, what's this for?
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Would that be nice? I mean, yeah, it would be nice.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I love you know, I love when the TBT comes
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: to town. I get to go watch games and Freedom Hall.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: You get the like nostalgic feel of it. Yeah, you
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: get the styles and sounds of Freedom Hall, and so
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: it's really cool. I love those historic venues. But I'm
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: just not understanding. I feel like we could put the
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: money towards something else, like what, I don't know, I
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: don't know, idea.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: I just think, so why not? I like the idea
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: of putting in there.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I would like to know exactly what they're going to
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: be doing at Freedom Hall? Now?
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: What is the plan? Is the plan?
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Secretively they're trying to recruit another NBA team to relocate here.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't heard anything. I haven't read anything
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: about NBA coming to Louisville. You know they're going to
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: right now, They're they're expanding to Seattle and Las Vegas
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: which why Lost Vegas. I mean, they're going to barely
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: support the aut free money. I guess you're right. It's
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: not like a fan based town. But there's so many
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: rich people around there. There's all the people coming in
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: to town. Yeah, it's tourism. It's tourism.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: And then the rich people that own the teams like
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: they it's just it's just money printing.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: But if I'm going to uh on a vacation to
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: go visit a city, the last thing I'm thinking of
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: is going to an NBA game in that city, especially
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas. Now, if I'm going to historic NBA cities
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: like the Lakers, Los Angeles, Boston, the Celtics, I've never
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: been to Madison Square Gardens. I've always wanted to go
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: to MSG. I'd go to New York see the next play,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: but I'm not going to go see Let me think
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to Atlanta and see the Hawks.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I don't care.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not going out to uh See, to California Golden State,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't see them.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: I don't care.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: I would go to Ora Arena, you would, Okay, all
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: right then, but but there's a number of cities you
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: wouldn't care about going to Yeah, would you go to
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Memphis to go see the Grizzlies play or Oklahoma City?
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't go to Memphis, but well, I'm right there
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: with it, Yeah I would. I wouldn't go see the Grizzlies. Yeah,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: maybe the Grizzlies are looking at moving to Louisville. I
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Have they done well down there since they moved there.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: No, they've had, like in my lifetime, they've had a
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: couple like pretty good seasons, but they haven't had a
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: season worth a crap in forever like that. That team
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: is dying.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: If if Louisville had an NBA team, I'm telling you
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: right now, it would be wildly successful. Especially don't you
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: think the city would be going crazy if they made
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: it to the playoffs and there's a few of UK
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: players on this on this team, I mean, they would
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: be good. Everybody from the state of Kentucky would be
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: coming to Louisville to see former UK players play it.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that the city itself would buy into
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: a team immediately. I think it'd be super fun. It's
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: such a basketball rich culture here in you know, in Kentucky.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I think the people from all over the state would
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: come and see games every once in a while. Especially
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: you get to play in one of the nicer arenas
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: in you know, in basketball in the country at the moment,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: in the m Center, you get to use that more frequently.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I know people love going to see games there. It's
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: a situation where that I don't see a downside of it. Look,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: if Oklahoma City can have one of the best fan
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: bases in the NBA, Louisville definitely support an NBA team.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City has nothing nothing. They're getting a UFL team
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight, and they are They are excited
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: about it because they have nothing else to do, right.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I love the way of the UFL team, But the
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: point is we're excited about it because we have nothing
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: else to do. Right. So if they can survive out
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: there in the literal middle of nowhere, Louisville can support
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: NBA team.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Josh texted, Louisville's not the in the South, all right.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Louisville is not the South or the Midwest where the
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: gateway to the South.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Laugh out loud.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: It's impossible to describe because it's such a heavy mix
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: of act since and culture is well. If Louisville's the
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: gateway to the south. Josh, it's in the south. The
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: south has to start somewhere, so don't tell me it's
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: the gateway, and then it's not the south, just like
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis is a gateway. That's why they have the arch.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: It's a gateway to the west. Come on, No, it's
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: the south. You're just reaching now. No, I'm not reagion.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you the truth. All right, let's talk about
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: some Colin Chandler. Uh, just for a second, because there's
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: really enough to talk about. You know, people were saying, well,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: you know, his cryptic message, and it wasn't cryptic at all.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: His message to Big Blue Nation was thankful for his
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: opportunity to come here.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: He's now going home.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Some people saying, oh, he's left the door open to
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: come back to Kentucky.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: No, he has it.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: He is asking what would have been the second most
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: money given to a player at uk UK turned it down.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: He's not coming back, so he's going to BYU. I'm
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: happy for him. Why can't we be just you know,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: let's move on. Would you open the door for a player?
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Let's leave out Colin Chandler. But if a player put
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: his name in the portal, would you leave it open
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: for him to come back? A Colin Chandler type player.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, it would just depend on how much we're
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: gonna pay him, Like it would have to be for
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: a discount. As soon as you at the portal, your
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: value for the team goes down.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: He's not worth what he's asking, is he?
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: No?
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: And I'm surprised that BYU. I mean, I know they
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: have ridiculous amounts of money over there at BYU. Are
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: they really gonna pay Colin Chandler what he wants because
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: he asking for a lot of.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Money, no offense.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: He's a nice young man, Colin Chandler, I find it
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: hard to believe they're offering that much money.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't offer him. I mean, I look at him.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: I mean he's a at best a million dollar player.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: He's asking for the same or similar amount of money
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: that Rob Wright got last season. And Rob Right. If
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: you're telling me you could get Rob Right for the
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: price that Colin Chandler is wanting, I'm taking Rob Right
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: ten times out of ten. If I'm putting those two
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: together exactly, It's it's not an argument. And I looked
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: at this, and I thought, no, I mean, bless your heart,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Colin Chandler, but I wish you the best of luck.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: So but but forget the money.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Then, once a player enters the portal, do you think
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: they should be allowed to come back?
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Like I said, yeah, I think they should be. But
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: it depends on what the price is. Like, you're not
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: going to come back and ask for the same amount
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: of money you wanted before. You have to kind of,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: you know, take your losses and be like, Okay, I'll
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: cut the price down in half. It's the same ideas
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: when a car leaves the dealership, it immediately slashes the
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: price of what the car is. The second you drive
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: that car, it is now not worth a lot. It's gone.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: It's over.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm right there with you.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Did you see where the Florida six foot or seven
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: foot nine Canadian center is. Olivier Rue is reportedly uh, well,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: he's in the transfer portal. Are you ready to see
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: what he's asking for? Have you seen how much he's
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: asking It's like three million or something like that exactly.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Do you know what he averaged this past season? He
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: averaged point five points a game, point six rebounds per game.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Now no, granted he shot fifty percent, but how how
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: the heck?
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: This is what's wrong with these athletes today. You're he's
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: asking for three million dollars and is not proven at all.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: The only thing he can say is, hey, guys, I'm
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: seven foot eighty five. I'm seven foot eighty five inches
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: and I weigh three hundred and thirty something pounds. Like, yeah,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I wasn't proven. But if I if you go to
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: a lower power for school or a high mid major
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: or something like that, one that has money, he'll get
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: starting minutes wherever he goes. He like that, Like just
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: because of how tall he he is, he will find
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: a team that will pay him and he will now
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: three point five, No, he will. He's not gonna make
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: that much money. This is straight from his agent. They're
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: just trying to hike his number up. He'll get a
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: million from somebody. Somebody, some sucker will pay him, right,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: And can you imagine if he was playing a small
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: school like Bellerman or something like that here locally, I
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: would love it. Now Bellerman doesn't have that kind of money,
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: but if they could talk him into taking a price cut,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: because three million, he'll never wants.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: To make some serious money in college basketball. He could
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: go play somewhere like Bellerman for one year, absolutely dominate
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: the a Sun and average twenty three points a game,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: and then next season he'd be worth three point five
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: million dollars.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: No, I still don't think he would be.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Come on, coaches are gonna read between the lines and realize, well,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: look at the competition he was playing. He's not worth
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: three and a half. He's not worth two and a
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: half million, not even two. I would say at best
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: a million.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: The thing is, I want to agree with you, but
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: coaches are suckers. Coaches are suckers too, Like were you
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: right about that? There are there are people out there
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: that have the nil payroll and they have enough money
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: where they are willing to overpay for guys like that
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: just as a depth piece. We're like, hey, we'll give
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: you two point five, but you're gonna be the eighth
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: man on the rotation. And you know what, He'll be like, sure, wow,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: why not? It's because it's just because they have more
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: money than the rest. It's the same. It's the issue
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: with football, right or sorry, it's the issue with major
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: League Baseball. The Yankees can go out to anywhere they want,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: pay anybody whatever amount of money they want, and there
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: they are willing to you know, Okay, well we gave
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: this guy three hundred million dollars and he kind of sucks.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: We'll just trade them whenever it's contracts up. They have
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: enough money, they're willing to miss on those guys, and
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: they got There are teams in college basketball now they're
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: willing to do that.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: And you know, there's a number of play athletes out there.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, they need to get all they can in
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: college because unless something changes drastically with a lot of
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: these athletes, uh, they're just gonna have to go out
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: and get a regular job. I mean, I don't see
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: him playing professionally. Maybe for a small European team or
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Asian team or something like that, but he's not going
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: to be doing anything else. I mean, I do like
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: this though. I think this is a great fit for Modabaatee.
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: They say Rick Patino's been recruiting him to come to
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Saint John's and I think that would be a fantastic
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: fit for Modea Botte.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: That would be his exact play style. Yes, you don't
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: need to shoot your you know, pounding the pain. It's
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of physical basketball that would like Rick Patino
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: would be a coach that can get the most out
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: of me O Diabate.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, we got to take another break.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: When we come back, I do want to talk about
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: a former player that looks like he's headed somewhere else,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: as well as what do you think about the Justice
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Department that is investigating the NFL.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I love this story because I think this is great
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: for every fan out there. We'll talk about that as well.

  Speaker 2: It's Georgia. Okay, I know Augustin National.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Disrespect Reva McIntyre like that. I don't like Reva. Man.

  Speaker 1: That's a single mom that works two jobs and loves
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: their kids and never stops. Okay, well, good for her.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: You know, if I have to hear her sing, I
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be If I didn't have to hear her sing,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be missing a thing the rest of my life. So, yeah,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: are you a Riba McIntyre fan? I would be shocked
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: if you said yes.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: No, not really. I watched the show as a kid,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: and I've heard like some of her songs. I'm not
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: like a.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Fan, man, I yeah, I didn't. What was the name
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: of her show, that's it? Yeah, Riba.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I used to I lived with my grandma for a
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: while and she loved Riba, So when I was a
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: little kid, I used to watch it with her.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Is she one of those entertainers that you know her
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: only by her first name?
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I guess yeah, probably, Like it's
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: A it's a very pot like it's a it's a
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: kind of interesting different first name. So like I feel
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: like if I go to nine out of ten people
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: in the street and say Hey, do you know who
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Riba is? They would know I'm talking about Reeba McIntyre.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: All right, who are famous people that are known by
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: one name? You said Riba is one. I think there's
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: a lot more than that. MESSI like the soccer player Fair.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: I think that, but his name is so unusual. I agree,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: But I think MESSI I would know you were talking
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: about soccer. Is there a famous Is there a famous
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: tennis player that you can think of with just one name?
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Roger? Roger Roger Federer. Yeah, that's a pretty basic verse
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: name that I feel like this because he's popular. You
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: think so?
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, football player?
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Uh, it doesn't need to be like a unique name.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Or can it be a pretty basic name?
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: I think it can be anything you think is gonna be.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Everybody's gonna know. I think there's several.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: The most basic name I can throw out that if
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: I say it, you probably know what I'm talking about
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: is Chad Chad Johnson, j Cinco. Oh Ojo No.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: See if you said o Jo Sinko, I would know
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: exactly who you're talking about. See if I said Emmett,
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: if I said Dion, if I said Eli, you know
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: exactly who I'm talking about. But today, even if I
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: said Joe, you would know who I'm talking about. Even
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: though I'm talking about Joe Burrow, you gotta say Joe Burrow.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you can talk about Joe Montana.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: I can talk about several Joe's out there basketball players.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: I think Lebron would be one, without a doubt.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Nicola.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, But as far as let's talk about movie stars
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: or musicians, I think Prince is one.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: Nobody ever knew his last name anyway, even though it.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Was that's also like a stage name. So does that
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: count absolutely because that was really his name. That was
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: really his name.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Prince Rogers Nelson was really his name.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know what his name was, so that makes sense.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Just like Madonna, Madonna is really her name. Cher I
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: think is another one. Share Taylor, Come on, yeah, even
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: I mentioned that and you like her and I don't.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: I think if I said Taylor, you know exactly what
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: I exactly what you're talking about. Bono is another one.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: Slash Slash is a perfect one. Now, I don't think
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: that's his real name, No, that's definitely that can't Yeah,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: but you know I know exactly who you're talking about.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: I don't think you would know Eddie if I said
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Eddie van Taylor. I mean, Elton is a perfect one.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: I can't think of many actors though. I mean because
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: if I said Robert, you can think of Robert Daval,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Robert de Niro, There's all kinds of Roberts.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Leonardo.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: Leonardo's a perfect one. That is one.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Definitely, I would, Uh, I know exactly who you're talking about.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: But I think there aren't many actors I can think of.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: No.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like because when we were when at least
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: when I was growing up, when I was younger, a
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: lot of actors used stage names a lot like they
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: kind of they would change their name for their acting career.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just just sounded better on like in credits.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: And I think a lot of actors now use their
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: actual names a lot more. Yeah, it sounds a lot
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: more basic. Well, it's kind of like John Mellencamp. You
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: know who John Mellencamp is, right, Well, when he first
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: came out with his original song Hurt So Good, I
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: think it was his first number one he went by
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: because his record label said, you need to go buy
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: a different name.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Nobody wants to call you Mellencamp. So he went by
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: John Johnny Couger, which is I think that was a
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: fake name. But then over time it was Johnny Couger
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: to Johnny Cougar Mellencamp to where he just totally dropped
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: the Cougar and then he became John Mellencamp was just like,
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: why wouldn't you just let him use their name? I
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: never got it. But anyway, if they want to use
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: their name, I think that's fine. Josh texted out, Denzel,
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: that's a perfect way, Denzel Washington, I know exactly who
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: you do. If I said Jack, I don't think you'd
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: know who. You could be Jack human, It could be
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Jack Nicholson, Nicholson, it could be all kinds of Jacks.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: But there aren't many actors I can think of this,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: just one name. How do we get started talking about this?
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: By the way, I don't know.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know where my mind goes sometimes.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: One person said, Michael's reaction to hearing that Louisville is
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: not the South is sounding like a toddler finding out
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Santa isn't real. Well, if you tell me that the
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Easter Buddy is not real too, you're gonna lose you're
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: gonna have me lose it too.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: But Santa is right till they tell you about the
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Tooth Fairy.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: No, they're all real. I'm telling you they are. I'm
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: not gonna sit here on the radio and say none
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: of those are real. Of course they're real. Don't look
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: at me that way. Please, you just keep talking.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: You do what you gotta do.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: I know, well, you never know who all's listening out there. Okay,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: so I'm gonna say that Santa is real. The Tooth
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Fairy is definitely winning. So it is the Easter Bundy
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: for all.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Just all the seven year old children at eight eighty
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: seven am on a Friday listening. Exactly, all your fairy
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: tale dreams will come true. I promise, yes they will. Exactly.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: What did you think about the G League player that
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Mark Pope was looking at, Deep Pate committing to of
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: all places, Providence, not just Deep Pate but also Miles Byrd,
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: another player, the kid from San Diego State where UK
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: was supposedly in talks with him. What's going on at Providence.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Matthew, I mean, Providence has decent nil they it's a
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: pretty storied program, but they and they also just brought
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: in Brian Hodgson, who's a brand new head coach. I
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: know that they definitely probably want to buy into him
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: for those first season, but it is surprising that one
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: I figured we wouldn't see anybody as big as the
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: name of Miles Bird commit to anybody before their first visit.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: Nobody's visited any schools, yet they're not allowed to today.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: They are today is the any players in the portal
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: are allowed to visit. So they must be paying those
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: two players a significant amount of money. Because Miles Bird
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: committed at like one pm yesterday. He didn't even sit
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: in the portal for more than forty eight hours.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't that silly?
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: Though?
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: When the portal opens, you can't make any visits. Shouldn't
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: you shouldn't it be allowed When the portal opens, you
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: should be allowed to go visit.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: I don't. I'm kind of.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Why why hold it up a couple of days? I
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: don't understand what the reasoning is behind this. If the
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: portal is opened, they should be allowed to go whatever
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: wherever they want to go.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: I want to go to visit. I honestly think I
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: believe it's for this is this is a speculation, obviously,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: have no information on this. I believe it's for the
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: teams that are still deep in the tournament at that point,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: because it literally opened at midnight after the National Championship
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: was over. So if you allowed players to take visits immediately,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: then oh, well, Michigan's gonna miss out on like ten
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: like fifth the top fifteen players or not, you know
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: what I mean. Like Yukon's not getting any visits from
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: those guys because they're focused on playing. So I think
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: it's to give them like a two day buffer zone
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: to come back and set up those visits and stuff.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: But I agree with you though, I think that if
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: it's open, they should be able to visit whatever they want.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: Well, then then delay the opening of it if that's
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: the case. But that's the price you play for being
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: in the National Championship game. So it's a it's you know,
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: let the other teams have a little bit. I agree
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: with it, But if if, if they're going to do
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: it this way, then you're allowed to visit today, right?
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Was it today or yesterday? I forget, it doesn't matter.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: Whatever day you were allowed to visit, that's when the
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: portal should be opening up. Not that I think it's silly,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: just a couple of days.
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, sorry about that.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, well we got to take off our
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: two coming up right now, stay right there. More Just
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: the Cats, same.
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Just the Cats with Michael Bennett.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: All right, our number two on this Friday. I hope
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: everybody has a big weekend planned. Uh, but I do
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: want to mention a couple of things. Uh uh for
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: those of you that do follow.
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: There is a graded Steaks race tomorrow at Keenlan in
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: which one of the horses I'm involved in is going
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: to be racing, Corona Diorro.
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: I hate to tell you, I don't even remember which
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Steakes race it is, but it's the first one for him,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: first one we've had in our our little partnership, so
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: He's trained by Dallas Stewart, really really really good looking horse,
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: very athletic. Uh and and from day one Dallas has
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: just been all over this horse. So uh, good luck
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: to to Corona de Diorro tomorrow, so hopefully he does well.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: The only bad part about it, Matthew, is that he
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: is on the rail and uh so that's not good.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: He hasn't done well from the rail, so we'll see
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: how that goes. But anyway, and the other exciting part
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: is uh, our little Philly that I bought last month.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: Her name is Her Honor by greatest honor uh and
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: out of Pioneer of New York, is being shipped this
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: afternoon up to Laurel Park over in outside of Baltimore.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: So she's a New York bread. She'll be racing mostly
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: in New York, but they'll Horacio Depas, who's her trainer,
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: who I love. He's a former trainer under Todd Pletcher
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: amongst other people, but really really really uh up and
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: coming trainer out there that I'm real excited about. But
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: so he's going to be training our little Philly her uh,
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: her Honor so and that's where she'll be based and
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: when she races, she'll be vanned up to New York.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: And because it saves a bunch of money. I mean,
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: that's why you don't want to keep a horse in
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: New York when it costs so much money up there.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: So anyway, that's a little tidbit on sceny Kill Stable.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: If you're int that, go check the website out by
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: the way syney Killstable dot com and you'll see a
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: lot more. You'll see a bunch of the horses we
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: have that are going to be uh auctioned off next
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: month over at Timonium, the mid Atlantic Phasic Tipton sale.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: So anyway, but check that out. Let's talk about this.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: The NFL is being investigated by the Justice Department. Have
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: you seen this story, Matthew, I have not. They are
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: investigating into whether the NFL is forcing football fans to
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: pay too much money in subscription fees.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Oh well, they're gonna win that investigation. See that's what
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: I thought. I think. I think that I'm a good
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: enough investigator to figure that one out.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: So you feel like the NFL is taking a vantage.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Of fans, Uh, yes, yes, very much. So are are
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: they the worst culprit to doing this? Or do you
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: feel like the NBA is just as much guilty the
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: m MLB, NHL all of them or do you think
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: it's mostly the NFL. I don't watch enough of the
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: NHL to speak on that front. I watch it like
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: I watch all the one like I watch it decent
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: on primetime TV. But I don't know. Yes, I don't
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: follow any specifically. The rest of the league's NBA, MLB,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: all of them, one hundred percent. They're just as bad.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Like if you follow almost any team, unless it's the
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: Dodgers or the Yankees or the Mets or something like that,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: like a major team, you gotta go buy FanDuel Sports
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Network to watch them. You gotta go buy this package.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: You gotta go buy this package to watch your team.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: And it's not I mean, we got NFL games on
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Netflix now, we got we got NBA games on I mean,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: the NBA League Pass, we got it. We got all
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: these games everywhere. It's to the point where I need
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: seven differ subscriptions to watch any games in the leagues
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: that I want to watch, and if you want to
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: watch ones on Primetime TV, you can. It's just the
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: same three teams over and over and over again. So
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: it's just exactly boring. It's not fun to watch it. Yes,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: I think they're all just equally bad.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: And unless you're a U of L fan that lives
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: in Louisville, Kentucky, you get the Baltimore game and you
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: love that. You get to watch Baltimore and Lamar and Lamar,
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: that's another one. Lamar, you would know who I was
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: talking about. But especially for U of L fan or
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: from Louisville. But I get sick and tired of watching Baltimore.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: I don't flip and care about the Ravens. I don't
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: care about the Green Bay Packers. I don't care about
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts or the Tennessee Titans. The fact that Louisville,
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: Kentucky is closer to Cincinnati and yet the Louisville stations
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: are forced to play Colts games drives me nuts. It
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: just simply does. I mean, God, I am really complaining
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: a lot today. I gotta get back on my whole
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: positive spirit. I mean, this is the this is ridiculous.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: But I don't like these rants. But I do get
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: sick and tired of that. And I like this because, uh,
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: now you're having to subscribe to what all you have Prime,
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: you have to subscribe to now Netflix as well as
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: NFL and uh and then you get to watch some
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: games for free. But the fact that they're going to
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: Prime and Netflix and having to pay for those subscriptions,
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: I'm with them. I'm glad the Justice Department is doing
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: this because it's only going to get worse. UH MLB
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: does it, NBA does it, and you know, it's getting
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: to a point to where college is going to be
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: doing it because they have to.
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: They have to follow.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: Suit in order to be able to afford all of
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: these salaries they're now playing for athletes.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: The one funny thing is so like, like, as we
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: know on the show, I watch a lot of soccer.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: So over in Europe they have the same issue. But
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: the thing is their biggest sport obviously is soccer. They
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: don't have football, basketball and all this stuff to pay
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: attention to. Excuse me, it's just soccer. Over there, they
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: have like Sky Sports and they have this sports. They
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: have this sports and it covers their favorite teams and
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: other favorite teams. But in America, the big most watched
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: league for Americans is the English Premier League. All of
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: the English Premier League is just on Peacock. It's on
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: one streaming service the whole league. And if it's not
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: on there, it's on TV, so you can watch it
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: on Primetime TV every Saturday. So English people over in
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: Britain are angry about that because Americans are have an
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: easier format to watch all the soccer they want. Oh really,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: who own the sport? Wow? Because they don't get Peacock
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. That's an American service that like,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: so like they have to because I think it's Sky
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Sports over there owns the rights of the Premier League and
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, so they don't own an over in America.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: So yeah, they're angry because it's more convenient here than
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: it is in the home country of the sport.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: But that's that's because there's a demand over there where
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: it's not a demand over here.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: That's why.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: So, uh, the reason they're doing it that way in
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: the United States because of the fact that they don't
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: have that demand and until they do, it's always going
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: to remain that way. So uh, that's interesting. I did
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: not realize that. But listen, the only thing that I
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: fear is that it's going to get worse and then
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: it's going to transpire down to college athletics because of
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: the fact they get a figure way to afford all
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: these athletes. So I worry that if it doesn't stop,
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: it's just going to go stairstep. The only thing about
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: so many other things.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Is I don't know how that would work because there
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: are so many teams like it would it would have
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: to be like regionally based, like Okay, the Midwest region
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: is on Netflix, the Southern region is on or like
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: maybe by conference.
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: That's a great idea, yes, Like.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: So the SEC is always on this streaming service. Now,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: that's not I don't think it's a I don't think
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: it's a good idea. I would like that to happen.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: But I feel like that's the way they have to
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: do it, because you couldn't just say, Okay, well today
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: the Kentucky game is on Peacock, but the next week
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: the Kentucky game is on this service. It would have
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: to be exactly like sectioned off geographically or something like that.
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: It has to be consistent.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: Otherwise, You're right, we're just going to go broke with
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: all the paying services that we got to pay, and
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: I'm tired of paying them. I'm getting to a point
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: now it's like I guess I won't watch it. Or
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: there's that little box people keep talking about. I've tried
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: one of those and they work really well. And guess
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: why I don't pay for a thing.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: The first world problem I have with those things is
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: obviously all streamed. Yeah, you're like fifteen seconds behind all
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: I'm okay with that.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with it, but I always forget when I
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: watch games on it because I have like Paulina's family
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: has one my old roommate used to have when he's
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: watch all the games on it. I have to remember
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: to term my notifications on my phone off because it
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: spoils the game for me. Yes, I'll get a notification
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: and then like a whole minute later on my TV
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: it happens like, well, I know there's a home run,
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: now get ready, guys.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: Well, I think the crazy thing is Even at my house,
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: there is a delay between different TVs. So for instance,
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: I'll be I'll be in one section of the house
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: watching a game, like when the last time UK was
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: playing in the national title game. I'll never forget this.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: I'm watching it in one room with one son. My
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: wife is watching in another room with our other son.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: They're reacting before I am, so I already know something's big.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: How the heck can you be in the same house
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: and it's delayed at two different TVs in the same place.
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: That's what drives me nuts because I'll turn on one
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: TV and I'll see, oh, there's a horse race going on,
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: and then on the other TV it's the horse race
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: is already done.
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: How does that happen?
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it now in terms of because everything
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: is streamed, right, so it goes to the internet. Maybe
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: the connection on one of them is better than the
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: other ones. But yeah, it used to happen back when
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: we had cable in my house too. It's a hard
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: wired connection. So I don't know how either of these
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: can be possibly behind each other. Just it doesn't make
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: any sense.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: Are we going to get to a point where we
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: just simply go back? You know, we're so excited getting
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: away from cable, you think we're gonna go back to
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: cable one day.
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: I'm almost feeling like we do.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: I there's a chance we do. I think it's a
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: very high chance. But the thing is is if you
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: want to go back to cable, and if cable wants
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: to bring people back, they need to create something like
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: this isn't this isn't a plug, something like like direct
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: TV would do, or like they have all these services
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: you can get on your cable, like they have NFL
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: Sunday ticket, they have it be a league. They can
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: put everything in one right, so like yeah, you'd bay,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: they would have to do it like that. Whereas if
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: if if Spectrum wanted to get back into the cable business,
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: and you know, like they owned Louisville for Laura. It
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: was Time Warner Cable back then. I think it was
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: like owned Louisvill, right, and they would need to say, hey, look,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: if you spend ninety dollars a month, I know it's
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit more of than regular cable, we'll put
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: your Peacock, we'll put your Netflix, we'll put your this
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: and that all on cable, and you get live TV.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: That would be the only possible way that would ever work,
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: because then yeah, you you'll get cable so you can
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: watch your games you want. But the end of the day,
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: the thing, the reason people love the streaming services still
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: even though they're ridiculously priced, is the convenience of you
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: being able to watch these shows and movies whatever you want, right,
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: That's that's that's that's the thing. So if you're trading
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: cable for that convenience, I actually still don't think it
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: would work. I think the people would realize, oh, I
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: actually still hate this. This is why we left.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well I just don't like being nickeled and dime.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: I don't even that's yeah, just just let me choose
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: a package. You have multiple packages out there, but don't
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: separate one from the other, knowing you want both of these,
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: like for instance, I want uh.
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: SEC and ACC. Don't don't separate those.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: They have to All college has to come in one list,
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: and then all pro has to come in one list.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: And if you want college grade, if you want pro grade.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: But I mean, once they start doing well, you'll get
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: part of this over here and part of this over there.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: It's like, okay, now you're back to nickel and diamond
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: me where I need to have both, and it's just
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: like it irritates me. And because cost prohibitive, just way
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: too much money out.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: There, there is no way this would ever happen, just
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: because there's too much greed out there, and the networks
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: would never want it because they wouldn't make as much money.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Probably my dream scenario for watching television, because I don't
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: watch TV shows. I watch movies every once in a while,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: but I don't watch them on TV. I just you know,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: I get them on Netflix or something. If there was
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: a service I don't, you could charge me, honestly, whatever
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: you want, three hundred dollars or whatever. I figure it
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: out where for every sport. I got to pick my
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: favorite team. You only get one for each sport. You
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: get to pick one time and you get every game
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: for that team. But like I said, you can up
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: charge me. You could. I'll pay whatever I want as
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: long as I can guarantee that, Hey, I can get
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: the Patriots games, I can get the Pacers games. I
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: can get the Utah Mammoths games if I want them.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: But guess what, I'm paying two hundred dollars a month.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: That's why I get to go past the there's no blackouts,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: there's no this and that, there's no happening to get
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: streaming services. If I could get all of that in
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: one I would pay a network whatever they asked me for.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: That is a well, I'm not gonna pay whatever they
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: ask for. I mean, let's be realistic about this. But
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: that's a gigantic yes. Because you know, when you go
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: to ESPN, they ask you what your favorite teams are,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: and it's always UK, Cyndinata, Bingals, Reds and so on.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: So yeah, if I could pick the teams that I
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: love the most, and that's what I'm gonna get on
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: my television, I would be a resounding gigantic. Yes, that
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: would be fantastic, but it's just too simple for them.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, they'll never want to do that because they
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: know they can make more money, and that's what they're
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: all about. They got a public company's got to make
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: sure there's stock prices going up, just like Oh my gosh,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: man John here, Michael and Matthew. What if I said
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: Garth for music and Jordan for basketball actor, what about
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: Billy Bob?
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: Those are great names, all.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: Right, so uh Brett for football, Brett Farr, Brett Farr.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, but there's a former baseball player that also went
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: by Brett. Played for the Kansas City Royals Brett. I
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: can't think of his last name. Okay, I know, I'm sorry, Uh,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: but yeah, he played third baseman.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: He's the one you always see the if you see
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: a Kansas City Royal baseball player, somebody's going to text
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: me right now and let me know his name, uh Brett.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: And evidently there was a delayed call of calling him
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: out and he starts running from the dugout to the umpire.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: I mean it's a famous video, but anyway, those are
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: good ones. But you know we said first names, so Jordan,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: but I guess I would allow a last name Jordan definitely.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: I know you mean Garth Brooks and Billy Bob Thornton,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: also Chandler and a lot of other college athletes should
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: not take a million dollars. I hope they change this soon. Well,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: why shouldn't they take a million dollars? I mean, if
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: they're offering it to them, I know I would take it.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: I think the I think they're meaning like they shouldn't
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: be asking for that. I'm guessing why not. I don't know.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, maybe because they don't think they're
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: worth it, Like maybe they think the players shouldn't be
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: able to ask for as much as they're saying, like
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: there should be regulations on maybe this is how much
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: you can get. I don't know.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: I'm just guessing, Well, there needs to become a limit
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: how much schools can spend, just like they you know,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: you just mentioned a little bit ago. That's what's so
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: wrong with Major League Baseball is that the same teams
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: win every single year for the most part. That's why
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: the NFL is so wildly successful is because every team
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: is playing on a level field. Well, the same thing
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: HAPs to happen to college athletics. Otherwise we're going to
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: see the same teams win every year and it will
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: inevitably to me kill college sports if it hasn't already.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: But yeah, there's got to be so many drastic changes
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: and we all know that. But one person texted in
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: the MLB is the absolute worse for trying to watch
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: games and needing multiple subscriptions. It's a joke and dang
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: near criminal is the MLB? Do you need multiple subscriptions
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: for the MLB? I thought you just needed MLB and
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: that was it and you could get every game out there.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: Wrongly, you were if you were like just a Major
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: League Baseball ahead and you wanted to watch every game
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: possible that you could, yes, you would need multiple so
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: you would need It's like, for example, yesterday last year,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: I fully bought in. I was like, I want to
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: watch as many Reds games as possible, and they're on
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: the Fandel Sports Network. So if you buy the Fandel
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: Sports Network, you get every single Reds game, no matter
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: where they're playing at, you get every one of them. Okay,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: And it was like fifty dollars for the whole season.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: Now see that's not bad, not bad. You got every
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: Reds game. Now did I watch all hundred and six
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: or two?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 5: No?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: But like you get all right, but that didn't cover
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: the ones the wrong prom time TV. So therefore you
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: need YouTube TV or you know, cable or something. There's
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: also games now they have a deal with Apple TV,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: so there's a games all the time on Apple TV.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: So you need that too if you wanted all of them.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you definitely need multiple.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: One person texted in this. This makes me laugh right here.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: We need a weekly what grinds my Gears segment with
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: Michael just ranting?
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: Is that something we need? Do we need me ranting
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: every once a week?
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: I mean can get it off your chest. Well, that
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: is true, and I could get a lot of stuff
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: off my chest. It would be good therapy for me.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know if everybody would enjoy with all I
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: would have to rant, because I do have a lot
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: of stuff to rant. The one thing I do miss
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: and I meant to do it yesterday and I completely
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: fact for good is the gen Z moment. I mean,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: we forgot to do that yesterday and I'm gonna miss
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: doing that. I just want you to know I'm still
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: not happy with they can do it today. Okay, good,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: all right, I'll get prep about in the last time. Okay, good.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: Uh one Josh said Brett Butler, No, it was Brett Butler.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: The next person said, George Bretton that's who it was,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: and so his last name was Brett, not his first name.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: George Brett played for the Kansas City Royals. Thank you
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: for texting me that in I really appreciate that.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: One person said, Uh, I have been without cable for
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: eight years. Get to see everything. I use third party apps.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: Not totally legal, but I am okay with it. Uh,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: I'm okay with it. I'm an avid user as well. Yeah,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: I listen. I started watching Tampa Bay Buccaneer games through
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: an app. I would just stream it from my phone
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: to the TV. Is I don't think I could. Can
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: you download the app that you use onto your TV
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: or are you streaming it through your phone? It's a website, okay,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: so you have to stream stream it through your phone
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: to get to the TV.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah, And I have a problem with that.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: Sometimes there's a little bit of a little bit of
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: a delay on it, but it's no big deal. At
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: least I'm watching on the television. They've made it so
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: easy now for TV from streaming from your phone directly
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: to your TV. I know it's a little expensive, but
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: I prefer Apple TV.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: I like Apple TV, yeah, especially I don't have one
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: of my family does, and it's pretty convenient, especially if
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: you have an iPhone and stuff like that.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: Exactly if you're all Apple like my family is, which
• 1:07:28

  Speaker 1: Twenty five thousand dollars?
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not even close.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: On stub Hub, they were between this is for a
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: four day pass for one person thirty four nine hundred dollars,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: and someone else had one up for fifty six thousand dollars.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: Are they even a cape? Are you even allowed to
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: sell your tickets to the masters?
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: See, that's another interesting point because a lot of people
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: were talking about what happened to them yesterday as the
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: I get tired of this as the golfing fans are
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: as Augusta National. Now you want to call me fancy
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: pants texter, let's talk about stinking Augusta National.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: You were not allowed to be called a golf fan.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: You're a patron, Yeah, and they're very particular about being
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: a patron. But they were telling certain patrons to go
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: through another line, to go through this one white tent.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: A lot of people are saying it was a long line,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: and once you got into that tent, they were as
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: seking them directly where specifically they got their tickets. Do
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: you like that Augusta National is doing that or does
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: that frustrate you?
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: No? I think it's stupid. Do you really like I
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: get the whole prestige of the of the Masters and
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: Augusta National. I understand, but it's just like it it's
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: it's the most pretentious tournament of the year, as much
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: as I love the Masters. Like, while you were talking,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: I was pulling up because you know, the whole patriot
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: thing isn't the only rule they have. They have a
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: bunch of strict broadcast rules that I saw the other day.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: I was I was trying to find them, Like, did
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: you know they're not allowed to say front or back
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: nine on the broadcast they have. They are they are
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: forced to use the phrase first nine and second nine
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: because something about it sounds front and back sounds negative.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know that's what they said.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 3: That makes zero sense to me.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: You're also not allowed to haul the rough the rough
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: you have to call it the second cut broadcast.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, come on, that's silly.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: You're not allowed to call it a country club it's
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: a golf club.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: That part's true. Yeah, it is a golf club. I
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: agree with that part.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: It can't be called the fourth round ever on broadcast,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: you must always use final Round or Sunday.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: That makes me want to do everything the opposite. Now,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: I do like that they're doing this with the patrons
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: that are coming in because of the fact that the
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: membership wants to keep the ticket prices down so people
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: everyone can afford them. So I kind of like that
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: they're trying to find out from these people very specific Now,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it's very uncomfortable for those people because a
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: lot of times it might be from a corporate sponsor
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: or someone that they're they're a friend of a corporation
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: that went online to buy all these exuberant price tickets,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: and they might be a little uncomfortable answering where those
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: tickets specifically came, and they might be worried that, hey,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: you're gonna take my ticket away since I bought it
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: from somebody a scalper. So I would be uncomfortable from
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: that standpoint, But I like the thought process so that
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: they are trying to find out where this is coming
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: from and to get it to stop.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, I don't mind, because I.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: Think everyone should be allowed to go to the Augusta
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: National one day in the Masters.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't mind the whole stopping of the scalping situation.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: Like I don't mind that they get to pick and
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: choose who's going like that. That's fine. That's how it's
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: always been. That's the appeal of it is you get lucky,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: you can get in, then you're a legacy and you
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: can buy him year of the year. I just the
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: issue with golf is that it's such an this is
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: gonna sound kind of bad. They try that. I've never
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: seen a sport want to be an old man's sport
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: so bad like they It's like traditionalist isn't even the
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: phrase I would use it as it's an old man's sport.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: It's and the Masters is the depiction of that in
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: terms of It's like when you when you hand your
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: great great grandfather who's like eighty nine years old in
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: iPhone and it's like, hey, hey, Jim, here's your just
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: can you go through your email for me real quick?
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: And he's like screaming at you because he doesn't want
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: to get rid of his landline. That's the masters. Unfortunately,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: like they it's it's so embedded in old ways, and
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: I get that's the appeal.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: Right way, I see, I think that's the wrong way
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: to word it.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: It's not old ways, it's tradition, and I embrace tradition
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: for the most part. But go ahead, because I don't
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: disagree with everything you're saying.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: It's just I feel like you should want to grow
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: your sport. That's what you should want to do, and
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: I feel like golf is the only sport they don't
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: want to grow. They want to keep it the way
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: it is because they don't want country clubs to get
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: over flooded, they don't want municipals to get over flooded,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: they don't want all these plays. Golf is the most
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: inaccessible public sport known demand, and that's what's unfortanate about
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: the sport. It costs way too much to play. The
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: equipment costs way too much to use and to own.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: I believe I'm a person who golf should be accessible
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: to anyone that wants to play it, because if you
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: are a person who loves the sport, it is the
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: most it's the hardest sport to access financially, but it's
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: the easiest sport to get into at any age possible.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: You can be ninety years old and enjoy golf, you
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: can be ten years old and enjoy golf. You should
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: take advantage of that and make golf cheaper and more accessible.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: And tournaments like the Masters hinder us from doing that.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: Well, that's just because of the tournament.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you're going to say something like that,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: it's let's be honest, it is the super Bowl of
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: golf tournaments, correct, it is right?
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: How much does the Super Bowl cost? Can you afford
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: to go to the origable? You're completely priced now I cannot.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: I'll never be able to tick it in my life.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: So unfortunately for a lot of us out there, super
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: Bowl is going to be inaccessible for us. The Masters
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: is going to be inaccessed for US, World Series, NBA Championships.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: All that's going to be inacceptable for inaccessible for us.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: And it's unfortunate, but I appreciate that. You don't see
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: the NFL going out there and saying, hey, where'd you
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: get those tickets? We want to know because we want
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: to be able to have every person be able to
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: afford to come here.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 6: The art.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: I love that The only way I'm want to fight
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: you on this is the only difference in that is
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: that you're not able to afford to go to the
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl or the NBA Finals, or the or the
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: World Series. But you have the capability to buy the tickets.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: You if you somehow found the money, or you saved up,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: or do whatever you want, you can buy the tickets
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: whenever you want the Masters. You literally cannot. You have
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: to win these things.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: You're comparing a Super Bowl tournament to a regular season game.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: Comparing it to the Super Bowl. I can go out
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl tickets whenever I want.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: Sure you want to spend Do you want to spend
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: four or five, six, seven thousand dollars? I mean, I
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: think the cheapest ticket this past year was like five
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: or six thousand.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: But that's the point I'm making. I'm not saying that
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's the greatest thing ever. I'll never be
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: able to go, but I have the opportunity to the Masters.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: You literally do not like you said, if I if
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: I were, do you have.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: The opportunity If you put your name in the lottery,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: you'll have a chance to buy those tickets.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: You don't have that chance, not.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: A trillion chance I can go if I had the money.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: You have a chance. If I had the money, I
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: could go buy a Super Bowl ticket whenever I won.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Yes, is it possible. Very No,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: it's not possible if you have the opportunity. I don't
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: have to go win a lottery to go to the
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I don't have to win a lottery to
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: go to a World Series game.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: Well maybe that's what they should do, is try and
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: have you win a lottery, because you're not going to
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: get it from the team. You're not going to have
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: that opportunity. Those World Series tickets are that's a bad
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: example because you can sometimes get lucky enough to buy
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: them from the team with World Series. Now with the
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl, you're never going to have a shot unless
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: you're a season ticket holder for whatever Super Bowl team's
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: in there. At least you have a shot in the lottery. Yes, yes,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: it's a very small percentage that are a win the lottery,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: but at least you have a shot at buying it
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: at normal prices.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: So what you're saying is you believe the Masters is
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: more accessible than the Zoo Bowl.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: I think neither of them are accessible. That's what I think.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: The point I'm the point. The only point I'm making
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: is that yes, am I capable of affording a Super
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: Bowl ticket? No, but every person on the planet is
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: accessible to it and is capable if they have the
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: financial spending power. Like you said, even if I wanted, Well,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: you can say that about the Masters. If you have
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: that financial power, you can go buy it, because you can't.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: Just said that if you go buy those they check
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: where you got them. When you walk in here, they
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: will kick you out. You cannot.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: I never said they were kicking you out. No, they
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: didn't kick anybody out. They were just asked where you
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: got your tickets.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 3: They didn't kick any I will say, well they should.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 3: I will say, I like what they're doing.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, I like the fact that they trying to
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: get away from all these scalpers selling these tickets. I
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: love that because you and I can't afford those tickets.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: But I will say, now, I don't even know I
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: was gonna say so, so I can't will say anymore.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 3: I have no oh cell phones. That's the other thing.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: Did you see where a former Masters a player who
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: came in second place, I believe back in nineteen eighty eight.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: Mark Calkovecia. Augustine National kicked him out yesterday because they
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: have another strict rule about cell phone usage. Now, a
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: lot of the golfers will say they love the fact
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: nobody can carry a cell phone on the grounds because
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: they don't have to deal with take a cell phone
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: with me or any of that kind of stuff. I
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: think that's a that's a healthy rule right there. It's
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: nice to get away from your cell phone.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: But they caught a former player using his cell phone
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: and promptly asked him to leave.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: Do you like that rule? Yes?
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm fine with I'm find with no cell phone,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: are you?
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: Because here's the thing.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: They can take pictures when you go to Augustin National
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: on the practice days, but the only way you can
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: take pictures is with an old times camera.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, who has cameras anymore? Do you have
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: a camera?
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: I have a camera?
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 5: You do?
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: I have like a I have a pretty nice camera.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that I do have a camera, just okay,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: I do have one. I have a go pro, I
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: have a like I just have like a little DSLR
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: camera for like photography stuff. Do you okay? All right?
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: Then fair enough.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: I completely forgot I had a go Pro so I
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: use that for underwater. But uh yeah, so I could
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: take a go pro and take pictures. But anyway, that's
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: just not as good as I think my cell phone
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: camera is better than that.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: I don't mind any of the rules behind the Masters
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: at all. I get it. That's the like that for
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: me is the tradition part that that's the whole. Hey,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: that's what's unique to this. That's why it's such a
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: cool experience. You get to feel this like this is
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: how golf was before us kind of thing. Yeah. I
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: just think that all sports should be accessible for everyone equally,
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: and I don't think that anybody. It doesn't have to
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: be the Masters. We'll go back to the Super Bowl
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: and the ro It could be Roger Goodell, it could
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: be Adam Silver, anybody. We should not be picking and
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: choosing which fans can go. See what. I don't think
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: anybody should have that power, and the Masters is the
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: ones who have that power. I think that that's too
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: much for some little board of commissioners to have. You
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: should want your sport to grow everybody should have equal opportunity,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: even if it's a ridiculous price, equal opportunity to go
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: see your sporting event.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: Well, you have opportunity to go there. It's just gonna
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: be a lot of money. So unfortunately I did. What
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: did you think of Xander Shoffley's shot yesterday? T shot
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: that goes into uh one of the people's merchandise bags?
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: Did you see that? I did see that.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: I thought it was funny that the Shambo, who was
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: Bryson Shambo, who was teamed up with him, walks over
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: there and gives one of his golf balls to the person,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: not Xander.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 3: I thought, what's the Shambo doing over here? Which I
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 3: loved it.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, for many people, including myself that
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: didn't like de Shambo, I think he's doing a remarkable
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: job to get back in the good graces of golf fans.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that, like I think I said, waspeaking
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: an effort. His pr took a hit with the whole
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: Brooks Kepka thing, and he was looked as kind of
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: the villain of the pgs. We wouldn't like him, and
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: he has turned He's become like the funny guy that
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: people can root for. And he's so energetic and he
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: loves what he does. You can even when he went
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: to live you could tell that he's just a competitor.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: He wants to win, and he just he is what
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: LIV wanted to be. We're like, we're gonna pay these
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: guys up front, and they just worry about golf. They
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: don't have to worry about their payouts and stuff like that.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: And he took and ran with it. Just unfortunately nobody
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: else did the same thing. They took a paycheck and
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: basically retired. Well, I think he has an engineering degree,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: You know, he's involved with a golf company out in
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles and which is supposed to be an incredible
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: business model and doing very well making these golf clubs.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: And of course, uh, in time for the Masters, he
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: took a three D model and made a five iron,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: which I thought was awesome.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: It's like, it's crazy. Is it called La golf? I
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: believe it's called I believe because his like all of
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: his golf clubs are like three D print, right or
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: something like that.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: He also has his whole golf set or the same length,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: so his irons are the same length as driver and
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: his drivers is really he's one of the only golfers
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: that does that.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 3: Is there an advantage to that, because that, to me
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: would be awkward.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: It's something with the way he swings the club, Like
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: if you ever watch it, he looks like he's so
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: stiff when he swings. It's not about getting the same
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: width on every single club. So that's why he hit
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: the ball so far.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: The part that people don't know is that that guy
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: is so crazy smart. Bryson De'shambo I mean he is,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: uh he is. I wouldn't be surprised, and this is
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: not a knock, this is a compliment. I wouldn't be
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: surprised if he's a bit on the spectrum, and that's
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: why he comes across in such an unusual way. I
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: think people that are on the spectrum, they cut, they
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: have their personalities are are a little different, like like
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: I'll use another example, Elon Musk. I think he is
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: definitely out there on the spectrum and he is just
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: unbelievably smart. And look at look at how talented both
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: of them are and how successful both of them have been.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: I think that Bryceon De'shambo's probably has the best gear
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: out there, from golf clubs to his logo. Everything he's doing.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: I just I really liking it. It's attractive to me.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like him. He's one of my favorite golfers
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: at pass Coup. Oh he is. I think he's fun.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say he's like I root for him
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: every week. He's not some like big favorite, but I
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: enjoy watching him. He's one of my favorite ones to watch.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm right there with you. Who are you predicting
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: he's gonna win the Masters this weekend?
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: Justin Rose?
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 3: Really that's kind of random. Why do you think Justin Rose?
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, he went down to the wire last year
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: with Rory McElroy. There's a lot of you know, he
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: probably should have won it. Rory almost choked that way.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: So I think that he's gonna be hungry again this year.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: Now that's me saying I don't. I forgot where he's
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: out on the leaderboard. Maybe he's already out of it.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know at this moment. I got to figure
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: that out. But if I had to, just if this
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: was yesterday and you asked me, I'd pick Justin Rose
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: to be the long shot to win.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: I see I'm still Rory McElroy and he's always been
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: my favorite player since he's been in the PG. I
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: just read a really good day yesterday. Yeah, he had
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: a great day yesterday, so I'm looking forward to watching that.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: Of course it's being streamed right now, so he can go.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: It's on Netflix right now. What streaming service is it
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: on to watch the lot of stuff?
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: I have no idea because the Masters does the thing
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: that like the NCAA tournament does, where the first two
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: days you can just download the Masters app and they
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: have like they have like certain holes you get. I
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: love that and it's free, so like that's what I've
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: been watching.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I love what they do with their app.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: I think their app is one of the best. So
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: I'll watch it that way too, and you can watch
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: you can pick your own players to watch, and I yeah,
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: I think they do a tremendous job. All right, let's
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: take our last break five O two four one four
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: fourteen fifty. If you want to text me on the
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: Whiskey Thief text line, I got a couple more things
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about. We've got UK baseball and
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: the oldest man to ever play football. We're going to
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: talk about that next one we get back, stay right there,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: one more segment just the cats.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 3: You never had any id you have such.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: Scored for a I'm really disappointed how you feel on
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: how you feel about the Masters. I mean really, I
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: love the Masters. I just don't like I just don't
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: like the club. Okay, all right, then, well, uh uh
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: wait a minute. The golf club. Yes, I didn't say
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: country club. I know you didn't.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: Well, but I think they would still want it to
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: be called the golf club. What do you call Valhalla?
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: Do you call it a country club or a golf club?
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: A golf club?
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: It's not a country club, yeah, exactly, So that's what
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: the I don't have a problem with the whole that part.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: It's just some of the other things that I think.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with saying a back nine or a front nine.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: I don't get that. I don't know. There also is
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: the whole thing where there's the rumor they pump in
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: bird noises to make it sound aesthetic, and they do.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: That's not been proven, but people that's been like a
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: thing that you know, people who've gone to the Masters
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: will say it's like really quiet in there, and then
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: when you go on TV. There's bird noises tripping all is.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: It's also like right behind like a shopping center. Like
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: it's not like out in the middle of this great wilderness,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: beautiful area. You pull out of Augusta National, it's like
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: a Walmart over there. So it's there's also the thing
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: that they paint the greens and stuff because it's too
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: early in the season for the you know, we go
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: to April and you go to golf courses, they're still
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: not in perfect condition yet, but Augusta National always looks perfect.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know, there's a lot of weird stuff going
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: on in there in Augusta National Golf Club.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the crazy part is that it's
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: just right off a four lane highway. At one time,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: the nicest hotel in Augusta was the Holiday Inn. That's
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: where a lot of people would stay as the holiday
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: in of all places. I mean, yeah, but it's it's
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: a little nicer now. But yeah, there's there's not much
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: to Augusta right now.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: It's funny because there's been like almost every usually the
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: theme is that every year there's at least one day
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: that almost gets ray at the Masters right, like it's
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: always one wet day. This was one of the rare
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: dry weekends for that. There is always a video every
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: single year it happens that the local Hooters in Augusta
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: is just flooded with people because it rains out the
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: Masters one day, so they all go to Hooters. He's
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: like a tradition for people there. It's funny.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, let's talk about this gentleman is
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: becoming the oldest player in college football. He's sixty years
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: old and by the time the season starts, he will
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: be sixty one years old. And I think this is
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: a phenomenal story. He's a walk on at in a
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: Faulkner University who owns a palette company outside a small
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: town in Pennsylvania, and he decided I want to go
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: back to college. He never got his college degree. He's
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: literally getting a degree as we speak and playing college football.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: He made the point that his oldest son is probably older,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: who's thirty four years old, older than the head Colt coach,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: which I thought was absolutely hilarious.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 3: But his name's Tom Green.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: He's from Littlestown, Pennsylvania, and he is a get this,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: a stage four kidney cancer survivor. And he's out there
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: playing football.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 3: I loved it.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: I saw it on the national news yesterday. I think
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: it was USA. They did a big write up on
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: him and New York Times did. I just think it's
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: fantastic When I see somebody doing this at a later
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: stage in their life. That mean, just never give up
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: on things that you've always wanted to do that you
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: never had the opportunity doing.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: Do you like the fact that he's doing something like this?
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: We had a sixty year old cancer survivor playing college football,
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: but Mikel Brown can't play with a heart back. Come on, man,
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: what are we doing? What's going on?
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. You had to bring that up. The
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: other thing I wanted to bring up before we go today.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: Did you see where Arizona, Illinois we're talking basketball teams
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: Michigan State, Purdue, Yukon, and the University Virginia have yet
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: to have a single player on their roster put their
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: name in the portal. That's three of the four teams
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: from the final four this year, Yukon, Illinois and Arizona.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 3: That's incredible. Good now, I get it.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: Some people have said not yet, Michael, but you know,
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: you would think if they were gonna be leaving, they
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: would already put their name in.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: It's one of those where, especially if you're a team
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: in the final four, I could see you delaying that
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, getting because you probably will
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: probably want to stay with that team, but also gonna
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: come down to Okay, well I made a million dollars
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: last year. The market's going up. I want two and
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: a half this year, you know, so they're probably doing
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: like money deals. Try to figure this out like that.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not expecting that trend to stay the way it is.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: I think people will leave, But I mean it's it's
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: a benefit you get for having a successible basketball season.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: You get more turnover or you get less turnover. Sorry, yeah,
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: probably so, but that still is incredible.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: Three of the four right there, and then Perdue, which
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: made it to did they make the Elite eight or
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: they just Sweet sixteen and lost? I can't remember Perdue? Okay,
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: So I mean then you got another team right there.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: You think there would be some kind of movement there,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: but nothing happening right there. One person texted and given
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: all the extra COVID years players are given, he could
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: play until he's sixty nine.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 3: Nice nice, thank you, Corey Price.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: But oh my gosh, man, the other thing I did
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: want to talk about former UK guard Travis Perry, who
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: left UK and went to Old Miss is back in
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: the Portal after one season down there with the Rebels.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: He started sixteen to thirty five games for Chris Beard
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: and only average about five points per game. I just,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know where he's going to be going,
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: So best of luck to Travis Perry. But anyway, UK
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: baseball six and six ahead down to Auburn Alabama the weekend.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: Auburn is just they're ranked. Auburn's ranked number ten in
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: the nation. Even though they're six and six in the SEC.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: This is gonna be a tough series for UK, Matthew,
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: and will be a fun watch as well.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the SEC is tough in baseball every single year.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's so it happens when you got a
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: conference has a lot of revenue sharing, almost all your
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: sports are good.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So you can watch that game tonight on SEC
• 1:34:24

• 1:34:28

• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: So that'll be a fun one to watch, so it's
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: gonna be watching that and uh doing a five k
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: on a live runway tomorrow for me.
