1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,480 Speaker 1: I got up this morning. It was sick of the 2 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: same thing. I woke up this morning and just said 3 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: to myself, is fine, knocklinn. Now do we have any 4 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,079 Speaker 1: idea what this fella's singing about? Eddie? I wish I 5 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: can tell you. Do we know if the FCC is 6 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: going to come after us? Are we getting fines in Munich? 7 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: Do we know? I don't know. How do we know 8 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: what this fella's singing about? I don't know. You're putting 9 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: a lot of trust in this in the YouTube of 10 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: the German music we have exhausted. Now we've made it 11 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: one hour of our show, of our pledge to do 12 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: nothing but German music because of the fact that the 13 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: cults are in Germany and we've already exhausted all of it. 14 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: We haven't even gotten into the David Hasselhoff collection. But 15 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: instead you just simply went with the Now, this reminds 16 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: me of Do you remember Mikhaila Losan? Probably not, Mikaila 17 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: Loshan was a Russian race car driver. Brian Nubert in 18 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: just a second here, Mikla Losan. One time I was 19 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: coming back from an IndyCar race and Mikela Loshan and 20 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 1: his girlfriend I was seated in the window and they 21 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: sat next to me, and it was the most bizarre 22 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: three hour flight of my life. I will say that 23 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: because they were quite comfortable with one another on the airplane, 24 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: and I was just simply like the wallflower, you know, 25 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: awkwardly sitting I looked like Jenny's roommate and Forrest Gump. 26 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: But I digress, so I said to Mikhaela Loshan during it. 27 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: At some point in the flight, when you know there 28 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: was a chance to say something, I handed to my 29 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: phone and I go, hey, do you want to put 30 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: put in, like what's popular music in Russia? And he 31 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: put in this Russian music that somehow I can't get 32 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: it out of my phone. I think, like, I'm probably 33 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: on some watch lists somewhere now, and it is the 34 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: most horrific, terrible music of all time. And it's just 35 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: some Russian guy screaming with like death metal stuff. So 36 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: he's probably screaming death of America. I have no idea. 37 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 2: That song, in translation to English, was called Days like These. 38 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: The song started out saying I wait for weeks for 39 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: this day and dance with joy on the asphalt, as 40 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: if it were a rhythm as if there were a 41 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: song that keeps on pulling me through the streets, I 42 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: approach you to pick you up as we agreed at 43 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: the same time, at the same meeting place. 44 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: As last time. Okay, well that's riveting. Yeah, that's a 45 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: regular German hemmingways, what that is? I guess, so joining 46 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: us now, and I'm sure thrilled to be doing so. 47 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: He is on the job of house peeling poor guest line. 48 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,679 Speaker 1: He is probably relieved that we're not going back to 49 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,399 Speaker 1: talking about gray slicking starship. Brian Niburn is our friend 50 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: from Golden Black Purdue in action tonight taking on Oakland. 51 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: They are in football tomorrow taking on Ohio State. Brian, 52 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: how are you good? 53 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 3: How are you doing? 54 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: I ever know of your life? By the way, No, 55 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: I've had some pretty. 56 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 3: Long ninety second spans in my life. But that was 57 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: that's pretty far down the list. I thought we're going 58 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 3: to talk about the Scorpions when you start talking about 59 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 3: German heavy metal and stuff, but you know that, I 60 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: was kind of disappointed. 61 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: Brian. Here's what's fascinating to me, Rocky like a hurricane. 62 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: What really does The Scorpions are very high on this list, 63 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: but you and I could probably do like an entire 64 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: podcast on this, and that is musicians that somehow are 65 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: able to and the phenomenon that you lose an accent 66 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: when you sing, like how old were you when you 67 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: realized the scorpions were German? 68 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 3: You know, I couldn't tell you, But I continue to 69 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 3: be amazed at how many American sounding actors are actually British. Yes, 70 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 3: never ceases to blow my mind. Like your stringer bell 71 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 3: with an English accent. 72 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: Totally And for that matter, Macaulty right, mcmaulty too. 73 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 3: Yes, he was in three hundred and you hear him 74 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 3: talking with his accent, you hear him do interviews and 75 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 3: exact opposite of what you'd expect a Baltimore cop to sound. 76 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: Like, that's exactly right. These are characters from the wire, 77 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: by the way, for those that are unfamiliar. And then 78 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: you know, even even like Elton John. You know, you 79 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: listen to Elton John's music and then you hear him 80 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: talk to me, You're like, what it's I've always found 81 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: that bizarre. Okay, Brian football, basketball you want to start with, which. 82 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: Well basketball it starts in a couple hours, so sequentially, 83 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 3: why don't we do basketball all. 84 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: Right, we'll do that. So you know it's Purdue is 85 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: obviously challenge themselves right out of the box, because we 86 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 1: talked about it with you. The fact that the Kentucky exhibition, 87 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: you just you can't look at that. You kind of 88 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: throw that out the window. But in terms of what 89 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: we have seen so far, Fletcher Lawyer was great last 90 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: time out. I thought, actually, they've got pretty good play 91 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: out of a few new faces that we did not anticipate. 92 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: But when you look at it, and maybe it's too early, 93 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: when you look at this game with Oakland, well, Matt 94 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: Painter utilized this as an opportunity to go deep into 95 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: the bench once again and see what combinations are working 96 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: or are we already at the point of No, this 97 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: is who we are, this is what we're going to perfect, 98 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: and let's go. And it's going to be a shorter rotation. 99 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: Well as of one oh five. 100 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: Pm, whatever time it is right now, I don't know. 101 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 3: He had a Trey coffin RAN's playing again, so he 102 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: might have a choice when I say playing again, I'm 103 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: playing tonight. 104 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: So and now what's the injury with Treykoff and n. 105 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 3: He banged his hip in practice the day before the 106 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 3: Evansville game, and it just came up sore on him 107 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 3: the next day, and it wasn't anything serious or anything 108 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 3: like that, but he was just sore and they just 109 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 3: held him out and he was back at practice yesterday 110 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 3: in a limited capacity. So we'll kind of see what 111 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: how he feels today, whether Purdue wants to play him 112 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: or not, whether he wants to play or not. I 113 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: think there's value in playing with the team you're going 114 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 3: to play with all your longing games like this, but 115 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: I think there's also value in playing different guys in 116 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 3: different lineups. So I think it's kind of a wash 117 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 3: whether he plays or not. You shouldn't need him tonight. 118 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 3: Obviously you didn't need him against Evansville. Obviously that opened 119 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: up a door for a lot of other people to 120 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 3: do some things, get some experience played with some different combinations. 121 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 3: Perdue at some point in time is going to have 122 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 3: to have Jake Benner on the floor at the flour 123 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 3: with Braden Smith and things like that. So to get 124 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 3: reps for him in that situation wasn't the worst thing 125 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 3: in the world. But at the same time, also you'd 126 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 3: like to get some experience with the team you're going 127 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 3: to ride or die with all year long, as the 128 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 3: kids would say, so it is kind of a wash, 129 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 3: but yeah, getting some new guys from experience here is 130 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,679 Speaker 3: one of the parts of the sort of discovery portion 131 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 3: of this season that produce going through right now. These 132 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 3: first two games are basically an extension to the exhibition season. 133 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 3: So this will be competition number four tonight, not necessarily 134 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 3: game number four because the first two didn't count, but 135 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 3: competition number four, so kind of getting a live look 136 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 3: at what it has here in addition to having arguably 137 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 3: the most known commodity core in college basketball. 138 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: Okay, I want to go back to Jack Benter because 139 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: twenty two minutes played against Evansville I thought looked pretty good. 140 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: And this is somebody that we have anticipated could be 141 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: a guy that gets into rotation and is a steady 142 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: part of There are some minutes to be had there 143 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: based on transfers from a year ago, and so you know, 144 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: there's been expectation or curiosity about what he could do. 145 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: How would you assess Brian Nubert his performance Jack Benchers 146 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: in the Evansville game? 147 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 3: He was good. You know, I think that oftentimes guys 148 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 3: in their first games, young guys Now, Jack Benner redshirted 149 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 3: last season, so he's not like a true fresh run. 150 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 3: But typically it takes first year guys time to kind 151 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 3: of settle into things and shoot well, especially because they're 152 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 3: not necessarily as seasoned knowing where their shots are going 153 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 3: to come from, being ready to shoot, knowing where the 154 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: passes are coming from, things like that. But that Jack 155 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 3: Benner was out there ready to shoot and making shots 156 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 3: while also giving Purdue an element offensively, you know, it 157 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 3: didn't have it forward last year when Trey Kaufmeran was 158 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 3: out of the game in terms of his ability to 159 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 3: dribble and pass. You know, Purdue's won a lot of 160 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: games over the years with guys like Jack Benner, guys 161 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 3: who can dribble, pass, and shoot and have a really 162 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 3: high basketball IQ. And I think from an offensive perspective, 163 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 3: he's going to be a really good player for Purdue 164 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 3: over the course of his career, but also a guy 165 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 3: who can help them now in whatever role might become 166 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: available to him. I think, obviously, when you're dealing with 167 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 3: a guy who is a shooting guard coming here, played 168 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 3: some point guard in high school. Moving to that quote 169 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 3: unquote power forward position is going to be an adjustment 170 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: at times, they're going to have to rebound at that position. 171 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 3: They're going to have to be physical at that position. 172 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 3: But the four nowadays in college basketball has to be 173 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 3: reimagined by people perceiving it because it is not Karl 174 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 3: Malone nineteen eighties power forward basketball. It is oftentimes a 175 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 3: fourth guard and Produce had a lot of success with 176 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 3: Robbie Hommels and Vince Edwards and guys like that who 177 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 3: are more for out type of players than traditional post players. 178 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: So I think from an offensive perspective, there's some punch 179 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 3: there to be gained in limited minutes. It's the important qualifier. 180 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 3: Trey Coffin Wren's going to play a ton of minutes 181 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 3: for Purdue and the leftovers at that position you're looking at, 182 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 3: you know, ten minutes a game or whatever, So if 183 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 3: you can be functional offensively in that time, great. So 184 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 3: that's kind of where Jack Benner fits in. 185 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: You know, Brian, you and I are relatively the same age. 186 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: I think I got you by a couple of years, 187 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: but you know, came of age probably in the same era, 188 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: and you mentioned the scorpions right up the top were you? 189 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: I kind of picture you as an acid washed Gen 190 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: Hairnet guy and then going out and probably into like 191 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: White Lion and Cinderella. Am I right? 192 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 3: No, not really, I was. 193 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: I want to know this. At the junior year high school, 194 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: Brian Knwbert's got his driver's license and he's picking his 195 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: buddies up for school. He's putting in what cassette tape? 196 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: Well, I was that rare kid who was probably like 197 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 3: ten years ahead of everybody else from a musical cent perspective. 198 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 3: I was listening to nineteen seventies Zerosmith as an eighth grader, 199 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 3: things like that. My first CD I think that I 200 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 3: purchased was Empire by Queens Reich. So that's kind of 201 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 3: the MTV generation there for you. One of my next 202 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 3: ones was ten by Pearl Jam. Obviously the albums that 203 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 3: kind of changed everything for a lot of people. 204 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: But now, were you a Nirvana guy at all? Sure? 205 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't think. I don't know. I 206 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 3: don't know anyone of our era who didn't like Nirvana. 207 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 3: I mean I didn't live for Nirvana like a lot 208 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 3: of people did at that time. 209 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: But Stone Temple Pilots I liked them. 210 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, absolutely. They a lot of my contemporaries had 211 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 3: that on constantly, and I've come to really respect them 212 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 3: more and more through the course of the year. 213 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair. I think that's right. 214 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 3: Every time I passed the country and in Swedes by them 215 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 3: all of America in Minneapolis, I think about them. 216 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: So you listen, it's Stone Tip of Pilot's Nirvana Pearl Jam. 217 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: Then you get into the singles soundtrack, so then you 218 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: get people that are like, no, dude, I love the 219 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: Screaming Trees, Like, yeah, you knew one song off that soundtrack, 220 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: but that's cool. 221 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that one that kind of got me, know, 222 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 3: like like Sonic Youth and kind of some things like 223 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 3: that that I kind of passed me by. 224 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: So Brian. When I was in college, I interned at MTV. 225 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: And when I interned at MTV, I originally was going 226 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: to be an intern for MTV Sports because I, you know, 227 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: wanted to get into sports. Dan Cortes was the host 228 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: of it. It was like an extreme sports show, and 229 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: they didn't do a lot of taping, and so I 230 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: went to them and said, is there anything I'm here 231 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 1: every day? I mean, I'm living in New York City, 232 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: And so they assigned me to the show one hundred 233 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: and twenty minutes. I was the only intern on it, 234 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: and that was the Sunday Night two hours of quote 235 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: alternative programming music. And it's funny because some of those 236 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: bands are mentioning were like right in that wheelhouse of 237 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: that time, you know what I mean? It was it 238 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: was super cool, man, it was super cool. And Sonic 239 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: Youth was one of them though that the guest hosted 240 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: during the time that I was there. All right, I 241 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: want to get back to speaking of Youth one of 242 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: those four Purdue in basketball, and I'm going to ask 243 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: you a question and ask you not to snicker at me. 244 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: Is it Mayor or Meyer? 245 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 3: Meyer at the store? 246 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah? 247 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 3: I Actually I'm going to take credit for clarifying the 248 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 3: official record because we got our first media access to 249 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 3: him last week and I just asked him to say 250 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 3: his name. I didn't ask like, how do you pronounce it? 251 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 3: Or I didn't ask him is it this or this? 252 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 3: Because sometimes the ultures kind of kind of agree with 253 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 3: you whatever you say. I made him say it, so 254 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 3: he said Meyer, so Omer Meyer Omer Meyer. 255 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: Okay, yes, did you eighteen minutes against Evansville. This is 256 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: a player that has a lot of international experience in 257 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: playing in big games. Did you anticipate bigger role for 258 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: and I know it's been one game, right, I mean, 259 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: it's very early to see, but your anticipation of his 260 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: role as the year progresses would be what exactly. 261 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 3: What you've seen so far. I think you know now 262 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 3: is his time to kind of be a complimentary player, 263 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 3: as good as he is, as talented as he is. 264 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 3: Part of the reason he came to Purdue, and this 265 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 3: was a very mature, big picture decision he made, was 266 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 3: he could have gone to a lot of places and 267 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 3: been you know, they're poor Man's Darren Pearson right now. 268 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 3: And he came to Purdue because he wanted to play 269 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 3: with Braden Smith. He wanted to play behind Braiden Smith. 270 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 3: He wanted to play on a really good team for 271 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 3: which he would play a role in, not necessarily a 272 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 3: starring role. And then when he gets when he comes 273 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 3: back next year, after Braden Smith, Fletcher Lawyer, et cetera, 274 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera, he becomes you know, presumably produced 275 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 3: star or one of their stars. So he'll kind of 276 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 3: get to both the best of both worlds here. He'll 277 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 3: get a dry run of what he'll have to do 278 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 3: in the NBA one day, where the goal is you 279 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 3: have to and make the stars better, but then you 280 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 3: get to be the star in year two, presumably assuming 281 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 3: everything unfolds as it seems on Pace two. But in 282 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 3: the meantime, I think he's going to play a variety 283 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 3: of different roles for Purdue. Braden Smith now has a 284 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 3: viable backup which he did not last season in terms 285 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 3: of a guy who you can still get stuff from offensively, 286 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 3: who can go make plays and things like that. But 287 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 3: he'll also play with Braden Smith at times, which can 288 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 3: be a really really interesting lineup offensively. Not that offenses 289 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 3: produced problem, but there are going to be adjustments. He'll 290 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 3: have to learn to take care of the basketball at 291 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 3: the high at the highest level here, to learn to 292 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 3: defend at the highest level, things like that. But he 293 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 3: is a brilliant offensive talent. He's got a lot of 294 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 3: what Braden Smith has in terms of his ability to 295 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 3: run ball, screens, run offense, make plays, things like that. 296 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 3: He's a professional basketball player playing college basketball right now. 297 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 3: In terms of produced lineups at the moment, Jakari Harris 298 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 3: and CJ. Cox are so important defensively I think he 299 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 3: probably have to have one or the other on the 300 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 3: flo at all times in games that matter. But you 301 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 3: will see a pretty meaningful role for four Omermyer. Nonetheless, 302 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 3: wherever per you can find one. 303 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: So on the Java House peel and poor guest line. 304 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: Sorry about that. The Java House peel and poor guest 305 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: line for Brian Newbert Java House with multiple locations in Lafayette. 306 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: By the way, Eddie, just so you know, Brian, before 307 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: we let you go tomorrow football. Everybody in Indiana written 308 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: for Purdue, right, including Indiana fans, because they want to 309 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: see Ohio State get knocked off tomorrow. The Boilers shocked 310 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: the world, right. 311 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 3: I don't really know what to say about that. I 312 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 3: think Ohio State's really good. I think produce better than 313 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 3: this record. I would agree with that, But at some 314 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 3: point in time, you have to win, you know, you 315 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 3: have to. You know, close doesn't matter anymore. Produe's gotten closed, 316 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 3: Pretty's gotten back to competence, Produce gotten back to relative competitiveness. 317 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 3: They very easily could be coming into this game winners 318 00:15:58,760 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 3: of two or three. Here. 319 00:15:59,480 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: They should have. 320 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 3: In Minnesota they should have won versus Rutgers, but they didn't, 321 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 3: and that's a big part. That's the most important part 322 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 3: of it. But Purdue has gotten back to being competitive. 323 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 3: They just don't have anything to show for it. But 324 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 3: Ohio State, I suspect is going to be a bit 325 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 3: too much. And I think what Purdue did last week 326 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 3: being competitive against Michigan and making Michigan sweat there in 327 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 3: the fourth quarter probably got Ohio State's attention. And that's 328 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,119 Speaker 3: a double edged sword. 329 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: Ran appreciate the time as always. Boilers tonight taking on 330 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: Oakland in hoops, Ohio State in basketball or in football 331 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: tomorrow and Golden Black will have all of it covered. 332 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: I will let you get back to rocking out to 333 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: Pearl jam Ten all right, Jake, thanks man, Ryan Nubert 334 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: joining us on the Java House Peel and poor guest 335 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: line
