Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_03]: You are listening to the IU report with Grant Shows and My Cutsle.
- 0:06[SPEAKER_03]: Only on the central Indian esports report.
- 0:18[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back IU fans to IU report here on the central Indian esports report.
- 0:24[SPEAKER_00]: This evening Grant Shows joined by My Cutsle Greg Men Guelts hanging out.
- 0:29[SPEAKER_00]: Um, produced in this thing.
- 0:30[SPEAKER_00]: So Mike, that's kind of a weird week here by week for the football team, Indiana one on Sunday night against incarnate Word and looked really sluggish.
- 0:42[SPEAKER_00]: Let incarnate Word hang around for a while.
- 0:45[SPEAKER_00]: They had a 14.0 lead at one point.
- 0:47[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, they had an 18.0 lead at the lead at one point.
- 0:50[SPEAKER_00]: Nineteen.
- 0:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 0:53[SPEAKER_00]: And incarnate Word got that thing all the way down to what was it.
- 0:57[SPEAKER_00]: Ozx points five points with under four minutes to go so kind of was a little reminiscent of the Mike Woodson era.
- 1:06[SPEAKER_00]: I think the spirit of Mike Woodson lingered a little bit in assembly all last night, but Indiana got the job done.
- 1:12[SPEAKER_00]: There were quite a few concerning things to take away from that game, but I think those things will get cleaned up.
- 1:20[SPEAKER_01]: I uttered a few words last night that may or may not have been incarnate.
- 1:24[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know exactly the textbook definition of what incarnate is, but I don't mind them coming back to Earth a little bit because things were going super smooth.
- 1:40[SPEAKER_01]: I think the expectations were already getting a little bit out of sorts with the fanbase.
- 1:46[SPEAKER_01]: People have to realize this isn't an overnight thing.
- 1:49[SPEAKER_01]: can you return your entire you turn your entire roster over.
- 1:54[SPEAKER_01]: And if there's going to be nights where the shots don't fall, they're not going to hit 12 to 13 threes every time they take the court and we saw that last night.
- 2:03[SPEAKER_01]: Now the the good news is they managed to to grind it out.
- 2:09[SPEAKER_01]: the same Alexis gets three game balls I think because he was I think the difference in that game just an absolute played well offensively defensively block shots got some rebounds kudos to that kid because indiana has to have big nights from
- 2:34[SPEAKER_01]: uh... the amount of games that they think they can possibly win over the course of the season and last night neither one of those guys was at their best uh... the mar zero is says three turnovers didn't hit a three pointer was definitely his first real struggle uh... as a who's your tucker made some shots but didn't
- 3:00[SPEAKER_01]: didn't go off the way we've seen him go off at other times uh miss some free throws which is not like him at all and um but kudos to Alexis trancesly off the bench at a nice night
- 3:14[SPEAKER_01]: They really played 10 bad minutes if you look at it.
- 3:17[SPEAKER_01]: And sometimes they talked about it in football when Wisconsin made the play.
- 3:21[SPEAKER_01]: And Grant was ready to admit himself with stroke like symptoms into Bloomington Hospital.
- 3:28[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes you had to give credit to the other team.
- 3:30[SPEAKER_01]: And Carter word just started hitting shots.
- 3:33[SPEAKER_01]: And in the end of the first half, in current words, three leading scores combined for two points in the first half.
- 3:39[SPEAKER_01]: They held that team to five points over the last nine minutes of the first half.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_01]: So they obviously defended well for stretches, but once shots started falling, it became...
- 3:51[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, Chronic, is that the word, it just, it, it hit across the board for everybody.
- 4:02[SPEAKER_01]: Indiana wasn't hitting shots with any consensus and see at any point over the, over the 40 minutes.
- 4:09[SPEAKER_00]: Contagious, not Chronic, contagious.
- 4:20[SPEAKER_00]: they did not play to the standard that we started to hold them at after three games.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_00]: The the standard, you know, the standard needs to be kind of altered a little bit.
- 4:35[SPEAKER_00]: And the X, I mean, yet to kind of come down for my expectation, you're not going to score 100 points every game.
- 4:42[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they kind of needed a game like that.
- 4:45[SPEAKER_00]: They're at the saga the year where
- 4:50[SPEAKER_00]: I never felt like they were gonna get beat.
- 4:53[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it was kind of like the football game where against Wisconsin, where they were sluggish in the first half, you said in our reaction that it was like,
- 5:03[SPEAKER_00]: the Friday before vacation.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_00]: But I still never felt like they were going to lose the game.
- 5:09[SPEAKER_00]: And our current word played them into, played themselves in a few situations where they could have made it a one possession game.
- 5:16[SPEAKER_00]: They could have gotten it down to three points.
- 5:18[SPEAKER_00]: And ending it at a just mate plays when they had to make plays.
- 5:21[SPEAKER_00]: They had a few shots.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_00]: They had free throws when they needed to.
- 5:24[SPEAKER_00]: That's how they pulled out the, the eight point win.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_00]: Give credit like you said to Sam Alexa's
- 5:33[SPEAKER_00]: played an outstanding game, actually may not have won the game without him.
- 5:37[SPEAKER_00]: There's the point where he had 8 points in the first half and all of them were from don'ts.
- 5:42[SPEAKER_00]: So he played really well.
- 5:44[SPEAKER_00]: That is an underrated portal addition to this team.
- 5:48[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be a nice kind of their super sub off the bench.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_00]: I think at some point later on in the year, especially if you say healthy that he could play himself into the starting lineup.
- 5:59[SPEAKER_00]: He's a starter on most other big 10 teams.
- 6:02[SPEAKER_00]: And this team has some depth to it, a little bit of depth.
- 6:06[SPEAKER_00]: and once they can kind of get that going and and figure out where everybody stands and what role they can play.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_00]: I think you're going to see a lot more minutes open up for guys, especially when they get healthy, like just five miles, Nick Dorne, Jason Drake, when they can get healthy and you can expand that depth even more.
- 6:24[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to be a tough team to be.
- 6:26[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm not really concerned after Sunday night against the current word, but if they
- 6:35[SPEAKER_00]: What's going on here, like, we've watched this last two or three years now, and real actually, last like eight years now, and why is nothing changing?
- 6:46[SPEAKER_00]: It's the same Olandiana.
- 6:48[SPEAKER_00]: People are, are telling me, oh, they squeaked out of win.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_00]: They barely won that game.
- 6:53[SPEAKER_00]: Again, the game never felt like, again, being there, I never felt like a current word was going to win the game.
- 7:01[SPEAKER_00]: but in the end I felt like could have shot themselves out of the game and that's what happens when you live and die by the three.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_00]: They may get pounded in conference play and a few games this year if they're not hitting shots.
- 7:14[SPEAKER_00]: But if they hit shots on a consistent basis and knock down 10, 12, threes a game.
- 7:20[SPEAKER_00]: they're going to be really, really good.
- 7:22[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what they need to have happen.
- 7:23[SPEAKER_00]: They have a ton of guys that can step out and shoot the basketball.
- 7:27[SPEAKER_00]: And as long as those guys are hitting, they're going to be good.
- 7:29[SPEAKER_00]: And once you can get more of that depth that you're capable of bringing in off the bench, they're going to be good.
- 7:35[SPEAKER_00]: This is, it's still a good basketball team.
- 7:38[SPEAKER_00]: This is a basketball team that I think is a few weeks away from sneaking into the top 25.
- 7:44[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they got him as a coach as Paul today.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you caught that or not, they they're number 25 and the and the coaches, Paul they're number 27 and the AP so they're not weeks away.
- 7:55[SPEAKER_01]: They're
- 7:56[SPEAKER_01]: If they do what they do against Lyndon Wood and then next week they're able to knock off K-State.
- 8:01[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're comfortably in the top 25.
- 8:03[SPEAKER_01]: I think voters see Indiana see undefeated and just instinctually just start to put them a little bit higher just because it's Indiana.
- 8:14[SPEAKER_01]: That's Tom Creen what I said.
- 8:16[SPEAKER_01]: And they were averaging 100 points at gain going into the
- 8:21[SPEAKER_01]: into the game last night.
- 8:23[SPEAKER_01]: So it's not like they played poorly this season at any point.
- 8:25[SPEAKER_01]: They just last night was their first game where they just kind of slogged one through.
- 8:32[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't look good on the metrics.
- 8:33[SPEAKER_01]: They were projected to score somewhere in the high 80s and they scored the high 60s if you hit it.
- 8:41[SPEAKER_01]: 12, 3's a game.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_01]: I think last night they hit five.
- 8:43[SPEAKER_01]: So take seven, three's off and start to do that.
- 8:47[SPEAKER_01]: And math, it makes sense.
- 8:50[SPEAKER_01]: Indian is a team that if the shots aren't falling, it's going to be tough for them to win games, but they proved last night that they are capable of doing that and grinding one out.
- 9:03[SPEAKER_01]: and finding a way and you're absolutely right about St. Alexis, the best version of this team at later points in the year, I think is going to have him in the starting lineup.
- 9:16[SPEAKER_01]: He's not a traditional big, he's only like six, eight, but he's got that pogo stick ability to lead the floor quickly.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_01]: take balls off the lob.
- 9:26[SPEAKER_01]: Go a little bit higher to get a rebound and anybody else on the team is going to be able to possibly do keep possessions alive on the offensive last.
- 9:37[SPEAKER_01]: Andrew, their other big is Reed Bailey.
- 9:40[SPEAKER_01]: He's just not that type of interior guy.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_00]: He's a stretch big going back to what you said about how they could just kind of grind it one out I think what make what people don't understand and and I think what gives you a different perspective on this of that
- 9:56[SPEAKER_00]: is that if they grinded a game out like that against Kansas State, nobody would really bad and I, everybody would say that's a good winner.
- 10:03[SPEAKER_00]: If they grinded it a win out like that against Mark Kett, that's a great win.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_00]: But people see the 69, 61 score against fricking and carnit word.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_00]: And that's when they're maybe concerned radar goes up or they're Indiana hate radar goes
- 10:25[SPEAKER_00]: Indiana had control of that game and current were just hit a bunch of contested looks got great looks shot themselves back into the game, but Indiana I'm safe for the third time now never felt like they were going to lose that game Sunday night.
- 10:41[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know why and who am I to question a division one coach, but in current word had a kid who was going into that game 17, a 50 on the season from three point range.
- 10:54[SPEAKER_01]: He did 17 or 17 or 30, I think, I'm sorry, he did 17, 13 threes in the first three games of the season.
- 11:01[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't think they put him in until about the 10 minute mark, which is when they went on the run and made things super interesting.
- 11:09[SPEAKER_01]: two or three threes in that stretch.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_01]: So thank you for whatever was going on there, but I'm glad that kid did not see the floor any sooner than he did.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_00]: And Indiana people on Twitter are, I saw a few talking about,
- 11:31[SPEAKER_00]: post in a picture of umar balo and saying this was the Indiana team last night after beating Wisconsin.
- 11:40[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think in the aisle like this Indiana team takes that kind of approach and mentality.
- 11:45[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're discipline.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_00]: I think they know what to do.
- 11:48[SPEAKER_00]: They're college students and I they recognize they have a 530 game on a Sunday evening and Mike just
- 11:58[SPEAKER_00]: I know the Big Ten Network makes the schedule, and all that, and it was the first game of a Big Ten Network double header produced playing against the actor, and the Big Ten Network did them no favors.
- 12:11[SPEAKER_00]: The crowd was weak, there was no atmosphere.
- 12:14[SPEAKER_00]: absolutely no atmospheres unbelievably disappointing and I know we talked about this on here before in the last few weeks that I'll just nobody goes to that stuff anymore nobody goes to games but just the atmosphere was bad and I understand they're playing a current word but this Sunday evening with nothing else to do in Bloomington there's no locals out the students were just awful quite literally would not have known they were there the student section was
- 12:40[SPEAKER_00]: a quarter of the way filled to the top there where they sit at assembly hall and then you have your with what I don't know what you call in the bleacher creatures they're on the baseline with the with the fat heads again.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_00]: Just the crowd was bad.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_00]: The atmosphere was bad.
- 12:57[SPEAKER_00]: It was one of the weaker crowds.
- 12:59[SPEAKER_00]: I think actually it's the first Indiana game I've been at where it felt like there was no atmosphere.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_00]: And I've seen them most of the time in these bygames before, you know, where they're playing in Carnot Word or Wright State.
- 13:12[SPEAKER_00]: I saw them play army a few years ago, which was a good game.
- 13:17[SPEAKER_00]: I've been to these bygames.
- 13:18[SPEAKER_00]: I know how they feel like this one felt like I had no atmosphere
- 13:24[SPEAKER_00]: And hopefully this team plays well enough to wake some people up and realize that any is start coming to games and they need to start getting that place rocking because that place when it's rocking there's nothing like it.
- 13:38[SPEAKER_01]: No, you're right.
- 13:38[SPEAKER_01]: And for give the mass public for not that not being on the Eagles were playing last night, that obviously people were wanting to stay home and share probably watch that.
- 13:50[SPEAKER_01]: So forgive the people for for not having a their interest 100%.
- 13:57[SPEAKER_00]: there was no reason to be concerned there's just some frustration I think and then I think what again really frustrated me the most was the the crowd the lack of people at the game i've been out on that con course i'm sure you have mike where i thought play arc and saw one time uh... on christmas break i think it was it was in the archie iris twenty nine was that i think yeah i i got tickets for christmas it was
- 14:25[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, the second game I had ever been to at assembly hall, which ironically, the first game I had ever been to, was the previous season with Romeo Langford in the NIT when they played Arkansas.
- 14:36[SPEAKER_00]: So I've seen them play Arkansas twice there, actually, and that place was rocking even on a holiday break.
- 14:43[SPEAKER_00]: There are a lot of people just a really, that fun game.
- 14:46[SPEAKER_00]: You, they got beat.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_00]: That was a really fun experience for me at the time.
- 14:51[SPEAKER_00]: You know, last night you could have driven a truck.
- 14:54[SPEAKER_00]: through the crowd on the concourse before the game.
- 14:57[SPEAKER_00]: Again, my point being is that I've been in there when you've had to squeeze through people and walk through people and it's tough and you just could not do that last night.
- 15:09[SPEAKER_00]: just disappointing.
- 15:10[SPEAKER_00]: I think from the crowd and hopefully it'll get better.
- 15:13[SPEAKER_00]: I understand it's a weekend.
- 15:15[SPEAKER_00]: I don't expect the crowd to be great against Lyndon Wooder, which I might be going to that game.
- 15:20[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure yet.
- 15:22[SPEAKER_00]: The K State Game I expect an atmosphere, and I know you're going so be interested to hear what you, to what you observe on that one.
- 15:30[SPEAKER_00]: But,
- 15:31[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of things that Indiana fans need to wake up and realize and hopefully want to think they wake up and realize that is that this basketball team is a really good team.
- 15:41[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're really talented.
- 15:43[SPEAKER_00]: This is a nice roster they have and they're going to win games this year and shocks some people.
- 15:50[SPEAKER_01]: The big test for me is going to be Saturday after Thanksgiving, noon tip off.
- 15:57[SPEAKER_01]: against Bethoon Cookman.
- 15:59[SPEAKER_01]: No football game to compete against the playing friday.
- 16:04[SPEAKER_01]: Bethoon Cookman noon on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
- 16:09[SPEAKER_01]: No, that one's going to, that's going to be a test.
- 16:12[SPEAKER_01]: I want to see what that crowd.
- 16:15[SPEAKER_01]: There, there may not be any at that game.
- 16:18[SPEAKER_01]: tickets are basically like you could get like, they're being given away with like packs of gum on sea geek right now.
- 16:26[SPEAKER_00]: You buy gum, you get to take it to the Bethoon Kutman game and that's the thing is I think one of my one of the traditions I wanted to start for me personally is last year I went to Bloomington on like a random Monday night they were playing Minnesota and I went to the game.
- 16:48[SPEAKER_00]: And I gone to Bloomington before, do like some last-minute Christmas shopping or whatever.
- 16:53[SPEAKER_00]: So my plan was to do that this year on the day they place Sienna.
- 16:57[SPEAKER_00]: And it's the last game before Christmas break.
- 17:00[SPEAKER_00]: All those guys are going home and everything before Christmas.
- 17:05[SPEAKER_00]: I expect that crowd to suck too.
- 17:07[SPEAKER_00]: I expect it to suck.
- 17:09[SPEAKER_00]: on the Saturday before Christmas.
- 17:12[SPEAKER_00]: So two days before the Siena game, when they play Chicago State at home in an afternoon game.
- 17:19[SPEAKER_00]: The same day is the the cops football playoff, which we have no idea if Indiana football is gonna get a top four by when or lose in that big 10 championship.
- 17:29[SPEAKER_00]: If they win, then they will.
- 17:31[SPEAKER_00]: But if they don't, then who knows what will happen with them.
- 17:34[SPEAKER_00]: So they could be playing potentially a home football game that day.
- 17:38[SPEAKER_00]: Or night if that's the case you got to move that basketball game, I would imagine they would schedule around that, but they were looking so far into the, into the future and probably talking about things here that don't even matter, but that's a few things to start thinking about.
- 17:55[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, guys, really cool to see you in the top 25 any idea who was number one.
- 17:59[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't get to see it.
- 18:01[SPEAKER_02]: Houston.
- 18:04[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
- 18:05[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think that's right.
- 18:09[SPEAKER_01]: It's so early in the season.
- 18:10[SPEAKER_01]: It really doesn't matter.
- 18:11[SPEAKER_01]: I think these are so far off, Indiana's already in the top 25.
- 18:16[SPEAKER_01]: That shows you they're not paying attention.
- 18:24[SPEAKER_00]: This is a great opportunity.
- 18:26[SPEAKER_00]: This by week for Indiana to lick its wounds a little bit.
- 18:29[SPEAKER_00]: and get healthy.
- 18:31[SPEAKER_00]: They've been meeting this bioweek here since probably the Maryland game I feel like or they've had so many tough grinded out games where going through the stretch between bioweek to bioweek, to play to Oregon, at Oregon, came back, played Michigan State at home, came back, played UCLA at home.
- 18:49[SPEAKER_00]: Went on the road to Maryland, went on the road to Penn State, you know how they want to Penn State.
- 18:54[SPEAKER_00]: and then they play last three against Wisconsin.
- 18:57[SPEAKER_00]: That's six straight games.
- 19:00[SPEAKER_00]: And quite frankly, it's just time for a break.
- 19:05[SPEAKER_00]: That's fans, you don't like by weeks for your team, to hate when your team's on a by week.
- 19:10[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I don't get to see my team play this week.
- 19:13[SPEAKER_00]: I am 100 million percent glad.
- 19:16[SPEAKER_00]: I do not have to watch Indiana football this week.
- 19:19[SPEAKER_00]: The injury concern meter was starting to run really high, especially when you see guys like a McCall Kamara go out with a stupid injury in the Wisconsin game and you have time to get him healthy, you got time to get serrat healthy, hopefully Drew Evans can be back soon and just some other guys that have been damed up over the last few weeks.
- 19:46[SPEAKER_00]: it's it's it's it's time for it's time for a break coaches are tired players are tired so hopefully they can use this by week to their advantage and and rest up man.
- 19:59[SPEAKER_01]: I don't disagree with you that it's good for the team but for my mental psyche I need game to distract me from something that I've saw earlier today.
- 20:08[SPEAKER_01]: That's just going to linger in my head for a few weeks.
- 20:16[SPEAKER_01]: don't know if you saw that or not.
- 20:18[SPEAKER_01]: I did.
- 20:19[SPEAKER_01]: Got the Virginia Tech job.
- 20:22[SPEAKER_01]: Did you see what the buyout went down to?
- 20:24[SPEAKER_01]: Pat Kraft used that Kelly school of business degree.
- 20:29[SPEAKER_01]: He got out of that now for $9 million.
- 20:33[SPEAKER_02]: Then states flush with cash all of a sudden.
- 20:39[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just putting it out there.
- 20:45[SPEAKER_01]: But I think you're kidding yourself if you couldn't tell that that game in Happy Valley meant a little something to coach the netty.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_01]: And now Penn State's gonna have an even bigger war chest.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_01]: I hate thinking this.
- 21:04[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe you can talk me out the ledge, but that's something that's been on the mind and I was like, do I bring it up on the pod and I turn on?
- 21:12[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just gonna put it out there.
- 21:14[SPEAKER_01]: And I just hope that if anything does happen, we can replace him with a strategic mastermind, similar to Barry Odom.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_02]: Stop.
- 21:28[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you've seen the big 10 standings.
- 21:31[SPEAKER_01]: There's one team that hasn't won a conference game since 2023.
- 21:33[SPEAKER_01]: I did see that actually.
- 21:38[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know who that is Greg, but maybe you can enlighten us.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_01]: You try to come into your R podcast with pole talk earlier.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to throw it back on the other side.
- 21:52[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what you're talking about.
- 22:01[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go back to happy your topics.
- 22:03[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to get back to 100.
- 22:05[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if they can get back to 100 because I think maybe some things got a little exposed.
- 22:14[SPEAKER_00]: But I think they, I think this, I think this gamer cable putting up over 80, honestly.
- 22:20[SPEAKER_01]: This team, this team did lose to Alabama and I want to make that point, no, wow.
- 22:28[SPEAKER_01]: And we've talked a lot about grinding one out and being exposed tonight.
- 22:32[SPEAKER_01]: Let's just get in a little, get in a little dangerous, teetering, rat poison grinding it out and exposure.
- 22:43[SPEAKER_03]: It's always the answer.
- 22:45[SPEAKER_03]: That's for sure.
- 22:47[SPEAKER_00]: I just thought I'd let the people know here tonight that I have been blocked on Twitter by Kurt Signati.
- 22:55[SPEAKER_01]: We've been mentioned the Signati list, man.
- 22:58[SPEAKER_01]: Congratulations.
- 23:00[SPEAKER_01]: You've got a, you've got a pelth on the wall.
- 23:02[SPEAKER_01]: You've been blocked by some rando on Twitter.
- 23:07[SPEAKER_01]: You need a national late night food chain to maybe get eye hop.
- 23:14[SPEAKER_00]: Here's the thing, Mike, is I've now seen comparisons made with the IU wide receiving trio of Elijah Stratt who is everybody knows his waffle house.
- 23:26[SPEAKER_00]: Omar Cooper has been referred to, I've heard not much, but I have heard quite rumors of people calling him I-hop.
- 23:36[SPEAKER_00]: because he is also open 24 7 and I'm now hearing that Charlie Becker is taking on the Denny's role in this and this trio.
- 23:47[SPEAKER_00]: Don't break Hutsels hearts.
- 23:49[SPEAKER_01]: Charlie Becker can't be Denny's.
- 23:51[SPEAKER_01]: This is an anti-Denny's program.
- 23:53[SPEAKER_01]: Charlie Becker will be cracker barrel.
- 23:56[SPEAKER_01]: When he's needed, he's awesome.
- 23:59[SPEAKER_01]: When you need breakfast, that's right.
- 24:03[SPEAKER_01]: When you need hash brown casserole, it's the best thing that's ever happened in your life.
- 24:07[SPEAKER_01]: And you can say that not Charlie McRatt.
- 24:11[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, Denise on our football team.

- 24:22[SPEAKER_00]: Being blocked by Kurt's Hignati, I've said some things.
- 24:27[SPEAKER_00]: I've replied to tweet and I usually don't do that, but like the guy really just started to piss me off like the last like like the last few weeks has he started asking for money.
- 24:42[SPEAKER_00]: It really just like rubbed me the wrong way.
- 24:44[SPEAKER_00]: Of course you just hop on the train of what everybody else is saying about him.
- 24:48[SPEAKER_00]: So he blocked me.
- 24:50[SPEAKER_00]: I guess he went on like a big blocking
- 24:54[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not gonna lose a wink of sleep over it tonight, but I just thought that maybe some people would like to know that.
- 25:02[SPEAKER_00]: And I haven't been blocked by Tom Creen, which is a good thing.
- 25:08[SPEAKER_00]: And I certainly have not been blocked by Denny's yet, so.
