00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 6: I gotta tell you the first time I met JP.

43
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: Please.

44
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 6: He's a sophomore at Metcalf County and you guys are

45
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 6: playing in the All A Tournament down in Richmond. Yeah,

46
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 6: and you know, are you just committed to Patino and

47
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 6: you're like throwing passes, driving the length on the pass

48
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 6: behind your back.

49
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: Like who is this kid? Who is this? So that's

50
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 4: the first time I met you way back when you

51
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 4: were a sophomore.

52
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, No, I committed to Patino as a junior,

53
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 5: so maybe maybe we were junior. Yeah, it was a junior.

54
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 5: But I mean I grew up kind of like I

55
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 5: mean you did. It's like, you know, I was in

56
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 5: third grade when Patino took over and they went on

57
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 5: that run and it was the you know, it got

58
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 5: to be the glory years, and you know, you get

59
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 5: caught up in all that, and you know it's like

60
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 5: my dad sent me to camp when I was in

61
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 5: fourth grade, and I was like, man, I don't care

62
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 5: what I'd do in this world, but then I could

63
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 5: play here one day. So that was kind of a

64
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 5: wild uh dream come true. And when Rick actually called.

65
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: Let's start there because we were on the same path.

66
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: And then you went right and I went left because

67
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: I also went to Rick Patino's camp. I grew up

68
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: wanting to be a wild cat. I came to Lexington

69
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: for summer camps and then I just didn't stand out

70
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: as much as you. I was a few years behind you,

71
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: but Rick didn't offer me. But that's how that put

72
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 3: you on the map, right, your dad sending up to

73
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: lexingon for those summer camps, so.

74
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 5: That that was a big one.

75
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 4: You know.

76
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 5: The other thing that happened I would go to back then,

77
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 5: you didn't played on travel team. You went to these

78
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 5: summer camps like Nike ABCD five Star. Yeah, And I

79
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 5: went up to five Star in Pittsburgh and I had

80
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 5: a really good camp. And there was a guy named

81
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 5: Howard Garfinkel who ran that camp and legend, and I

82
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 5: think he kind of called Rick and was like, hey,

83
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 5: you know, you got a guy in your backyard, came

84
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 5: up here and had a big week, and uh but yeah, no, great.

85
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 5: You know it's like going to those camps was it

86
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 5: was was certainly a big deal too.

87
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 6: And your first class was you, Tayshawn Desmond, Allison, Jules Kamara,

88
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 6: and Todd Tackle.

89
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 5: That's it right there. I got stories on all those dudes.

90
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 5: Which one you want me to carve up?

91
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 4: We don't know.

92
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 6: Just let Desmond's the guy that got the most playing

93
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 6: time when you guys came in as a freshman.

94
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 4: He ended up starting as a freshman.

95
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 5: So people don't realize this. When Desmond got to school,

96
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 5: you know, you know, Desmond was given the award of

97
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 5: the Athlete of the Decade in Tampa, Florida. Now you

98
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 5: think about the athletes that come out of Tampa.

99
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 4: He looked like he.

100
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 5: Could play cornerback in the NFL when he showed up

101
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 5: at eighteen, and honestly he picked the wrong sport. Uh,

102
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 5: he should have been inquired, but he was the most

103
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 5: physically ready at eighteen. Obviously Taishan had you know, had

104
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 5: the most upside. His body had to catch up a

105
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 5: little bit. But but anyway, Desmond was a freak athlete

106
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 5: and rest in peace to my guy man. One of

107
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 5: the funniest dudes you'll ever be around. What a clown.

108
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 3: You were one of the first commits in that class,

109
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: as we said, committed to Patino. But then they make

110
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: the coaching change. What was it like talking to Tubby?

111
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: Was there any worry that maybe he wouldn't honor it

112
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: or was he pretty quick to say no, no stick around. Yeah?

113
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 5: That was heartbreaking. I mean, you know, obviously for the fans,

114
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 5: you remember what that was like. You know, we were

115
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 5: on top of the world and the king decides to leave.

116
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 5: But you I had a recritic, you know, you know,

117
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 5: committed to the man, right, So you know, there was

118
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 5: a week of oh man, what's this mean? And then

119
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 5: so Tubby and them, you know, they came and watched

120
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 5: and certainly said, hey, look we still want you, if

121
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 5: you still want to come. So obviously the dream trump

122
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 5: the coach, so that ended up going that way.

123
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 4: I don't think I've ever asked you this. Why'd you

124
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 4: wear number four?

125
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 5: You know what? When I was in the Little League.

126
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 5: So my idol growing up was Rex Chapman, and I

127
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 5: had the number three when I was in Little league.

128
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 5: And then I started playing varsity in seventh grade and

129
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 5: there was a senior that had number three, and I

130
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 5: couldn't really go tell the senior he wouldn't wire three.

131
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 5: So I started wearing four, and I was like, you know,

132
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 5: let me just run it out. So I did end

133
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 5: up with four.

134
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 3: And my my research, which I admitted, was very thorough right. Yes,

135
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 3: it was embarrassed to say I was up to early

136
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 3: just reading up on your whole live JP. But I

137
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 3: found some old newspaper clippings from back home in Medcalfe County.

138
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: One of them said, you even had a Rex picture

139
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 3: and unforgettable pictures in your bedroom. Is that is?

140
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 4: That?

141
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: Is that factual?

142
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 4: Did?

143
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 5: I mean? You know, I grew up just like everybody

144
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 5: else here. It was like, look, you got the hoop

145
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 5: out back, you got all the Kentucky posters up, and

146
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 5: you know, we live and die in the n c

147
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 5: LOLY tournament games. My dad would get so nervous during

148
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 5: NCAA tournament games. This is like growing up. Like he

149
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 5: get in the car and just go drive around. He

150
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 5: couldn't take it. And so like for n CUAA tournament games,

151
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 5: like my family would get on each other's nerves because

152
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 5: you know, you miss the shots, well we're not gonna win.

153
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 5: And we everyone just swa washed it in different rooms.

154
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 5: But like that's kind of typical to what it's like

155
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 5: growing up. That's the family I grew up in.

156
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 3: One more thing I read in the newspaper article. Yeah,

157
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: there's no way you remember this, but I have to

158
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 3: share it because I loved it. It was when you

159
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 3: committed and they were just kind of reminiscing on your

160
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: time in Edmondson, Edmonton. And there's a coffee shop owner

161
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: who was quoted as saying, this is about the only

162
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 3: excitement we've had around here in a while since someone

163
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: shot my jukebox with the non millimeter. I was in

164
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: the story of you committing to Kentucky. That really stood

165
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: out to me. Kind of shows what kind of small

166
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: town vibe you all had there at Edmondson. Many of us, me,

167
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: many of us listen, know what it's like those small

168
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 3: Kentucky towns.

169
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 5: So I went and trade it for the world. But

170
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 5: nothing's changed in fifty years. One stop light, not a

171
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 5: lot to do, So I think that's one of the

172
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 5: reasons I came up here. I was played ball at

173
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 5: the time. There was a lot going on.

174
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 3: Well, the cliff in the jukebox that was the biggest

175
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 3: news since someone had shot it up.

176
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 4: This is from Sean from a vision Glass on the

177
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 4: Avision Glass text.

178
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 6: Machine, so I have to read it. When JP was

179
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 6: a freshman in Metcalf County, they came to play us

180
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 6: at Edmondson County. One of our guy to undercut him

181
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 6: on a rebound and he landed on his head. He

182
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 6: was okay and then went outlet us up for almost

183
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 6: forty that night. Yeah, I thought my career was over.

184
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: Do you remember that?

185
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 5: Do I remember it? I really thought I was probably

186
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 5: never gonna play again. I flipped up on my landed

187
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 5: on my head, My back went a weird way. But

188
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 5: my brother was a senior on that team, and my

189
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 5: brother wasn't really the fighting type. But first time I

190
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 5: saw him lit up when the guy under cup, So

191
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 5: it was kind of some brotherly love. There we go,

192
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 5: come across the floor, we go out there.

193
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: One more from the prolific high school career. We'll do

194
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 3: a little fact checking. You tell us that one. Apparently

195
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: you went to Baron County, and we love Baron County.

196
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 3: We have lots of friends from Baron County. Probably arrival

197
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: for you in that area. Yeah, And according to these

198
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: news paper articles I was digging up, they were they

199
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: had signs calling you the next Steve Macielo, which, hey,

200
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: that's means Steve Macielo, great coach at Saint John's right now,

201
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 3: did great things in Manhattan, former cat. But I think

202
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: they were implying you would be a walk on who

203
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: doesn't play much at Kentucky. And then you scored forty

204
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 3: one points, including seventeen straight while they were changing that

205
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: you do you have any memories of that.

206
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 5: The Trojans were always at the top of the list.

207
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 5: We want to get the Trojans. We have a mutual

208
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 5: friend and my man, Gabe, let's go.

209
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: He wasn't holding those signs right, you know.

210
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 5: So Monroe County was also a you know, one county

211
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 5: over and in Monroe County, you know kind of your

212
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 5: eyes are pronounced a little bit like it is in

213
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 5: eastern Kentucky. It's uh, it's kind of like lock and nice, nice,

214
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 5: and you know a little bit of that in Monroe County.

215
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 5: So they started calling me like diapers when I had

216
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 5: the ball in seventh grade, so the whole gym, but

217
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 5: they would say its diapers. Diapers, so etched in my

218
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 5: mind is forever. But uh, I got them too.

219
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: It was fun. Were you ever on the receiving the

220
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 4: end of a tubby Smith stare down?

221
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think anyone really escaped those. You could

222
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 5: feel them for a mile away. You could almost like

223
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 5: fill them out of your periphery. You didn't even have

224
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 5: to look like you heard your stomp. You might glance,

225
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 5: so the best thing to do is just not look

226
00:08:59,480 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 5: over there.

227
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 3: It was pretty serious, yeah, you mentioned the excitement of

228
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: Rick and how we were all crushed when he left.

229
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 3: You know, you're just coming off the two final fours,

230
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 3: one being the championship. When Tubby takes over and he

231
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 3: extends that offer. Did you know a lot about Tubby

232
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: was there're still an excitement to get involved with a

233
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: new coach, obviously your crush that Rick had left, But

234
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: what was that transition like? Were you at least there's

235
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: some excitement in the new guy?

236
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

237
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 5: I mean, look, the dream was always way bigger than

238
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 5: the coach, even though the coach was pretty cool. When

239
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 5: Rick had it rocking. You know, I was a basketball guy,

240
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 5: so I find I knew Tubby was an assistant here.

241
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 5: I had you know, I was an STC guy. Watched

242
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 5: him at Georgia and you know they were winning games

243
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 5: down there. So uh, you know, look, you know you're

244
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 5: gonna offer me a scholarship to play here. Man, I'm in.

245
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 4: I don't have to do a lot of cooing.

246
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: Anybody could have anybody head coach Ryan Limited.

247
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm in coach.

248
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 6: So when you were freshmen, the seniors were who Scott Paget,

249
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 6: Wayne Turner.

250
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, and his smo Evans yeah, those guys obviously had

251
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 5: come off the national title the year before, and so

252
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 5: those guys were the seniors, and no, man, they were.

253
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 5: They were an awesome group.

254
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 4: I be by Michigan State in Saint Louis. I think

255
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 4: eight lead eight.

256
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, yep, yep, that was That was a tough one.

257
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 5: But man, what a run those guys had. What a

258
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 5: career they got to go experience and you know, hang

259
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 5: in some SEC titles in our national title. Man, what

260
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 5: a run those guys had.

261
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 4: Disappointed you didn't get a taste the final four.

262
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 5: Well, my friends always said, I was kind of the downfalls.

263
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: You know.

264
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 4: It's like when you.

265
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: Arrived, I was gonna ask what you all were missing

266
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: to get the final four, but you didn't want to

267
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 3: call yourself out. I kind of had better guard play.

268
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 5: We had a better back up point guard. No, but

269
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 5: but you know, just the thrill of a lifetime, man,

270
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 5: you know, And I always say, like, man, you know,

271
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 5: you grow up here and you learn a lot of

272
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 5: lessons about chasing that dream, and honestly, like, chasing that

273
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 5: dream to me will always be cool that I'll put

274
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 5: the jersey on, but really the real gift, the one

275
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 5: that he stays with you is when you're chasing something

276
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 5: that big of kind of who you have to become

277
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 5: the process of that. And I think, like every major

278
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 5: lesson that ended up taking the business world, I really

279
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 5: learned from the court. You know, you truly learn, like,

280
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 5: what is it the difference of being interested in something

281
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 5: and actually committed to something? That's the you know, it's

282
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 5: the daily discipline of work ethic. You know, it's the

283
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 5: how do you bounce back when you know you get

284
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 5: your butt handed to you and you've got to build

285
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 5: some mental toughness and resilience, and how do you become selfless?

286
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 5: You know, winning with the team is far greater than

287
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 5: personal achievement. And later in business, are you celebrating your

288
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 5: colleagues and your clients as much as your own personal

289
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 5: Like all these things just seem to go back kind

290
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 5: of to the court, and the actual arrival is fleeting,

291
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 5: but that stuff stays with you. The friendships stay with you.

292
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 5: So those have been the greatest prize, and.

293
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: That attitude is why you've had some success after basketball.

294
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: We'll get more into that after this break. Quickly, I

295

Speaker 7: Hey, what's going on? Everybody? I do have something for JP.

329
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 7: But first, do you think oh it's my a question,

330
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 7: it's more of a statement. But first, do you think

331
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 7: Mark Pope has for his New Year's resolution or New

332
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 7: Year's resolution to retain some of his recruiting class and

333
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 7: point guards because of Kayden Lewis is tearing it up

334
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 7: at Villanova. I think he would be. He would be

335
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 7: a big help. Right now. I think he's averaging thirteen

336
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 7: points and five assists. That's that's that's what we lost.

337
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: That's true. Did you have a statement for JP's also, I.

338
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 7: Did I have a slight disagreement. JP. We have had

339
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 7: a little change in Edmonton in the last fifty years.

340
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 7: We've got a traffic light.

341
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,319

00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 5: I knew about it.

358
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 4: Guys.

359
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,280

00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 4: Look out, we're.

363
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 3: Eating in Medcalf County.

00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 4: You got it.

00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 3: Well anywhere you want to shout out?

366
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 6: Okay, somebody on the vision Glass text machine said, ask

367
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 6: JP if you ever ate at the Lighthouse restaurant in

368
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 6: Metcalf County.

369
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 5: I did the lighthouses is awesome. If you want biscuits

370
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 5: and gravy and elementary ham Lighthouse is your spot.

371
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 4: It sounds so good.

372
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 3: To the point about a Kate Lewis, we'll get back

373
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 3: to this. That was that was a big loss, big recruit.

374
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 3: He's right, he's getting thirteen points a game for Villanova.

375
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 3: The problem there was Lewis was gonna be h the

376
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 3: second year playing and then when they went got jaylen

377
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: Lowe was a backup with two years eligibility. That kind

378
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 3: of threw things off and Lewis decided to go elsewhere.

379
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: But you're right, he is playing well for Villanova and

380
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 3: as we're looking for a backup point guard, it had

381
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 3: been nice.

382
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 4: I've been nice to have him sitting there.

383
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, carry on.

384
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 4: We mentioned the year senior year was team turmoil.

385
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: Yes, skip right to it.

386
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 6: Can you clear up the air what happened on that

387
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 6: air air flight? On that air that flight that the

388
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 6: fight happened. You have a bunch of rumors out.

389
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 5: There, Well tell me what you think happened. I'll tell

390
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 5: you what happened. We'll play more factor fiction.

391
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 6: This is I think the story that most people agree

392
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 6: with that Gerald Fitch and Corey Sears were fighting each other,

393
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 6: like trying to get leg space and it escalated into

394
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 6: a fistfight and they had to do emergency landing in Knoxville.

395
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 5: It's partially true, okay, So yes, my man, Gerald Fitch

396
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 5: and Corey Sears were sitting across the aisle from each other,

397
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 5: and there was no love loss between those two. Let's

398
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 5: just say that just in general. So you know, Gerald

399
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 5: had some skittles in his hand and he was kind

400
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,479
Speaker 5: of pitching on him across and hitting.

401
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 4: Corey in the back of the head with.

402
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 5: The skill and my man, Corey said, after taking about

403
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 5: three to the back of the head, you hit me

404
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 5: with one more skittle and I'm coming across the aisle

405
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 5: and my man threw a green skittle and hit him

406
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 5: in the face, and my man came across the aisle

407
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 5: and it was on there we go. So we yes,

408
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 5: emergency landing, we're taking her down here and we're separate eating.

409
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 5: So anyway, that is partially true.

410
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 6: Well, I'm glad you settled it because I always heard

411
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 6: it was they were fighting over legspace skittles, fighting over

412
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 6: skittles Drew.

413
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've alluded to that a few times. St Leger

414
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: was good to know. There was the sugary candy and

415
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: almost brought down that team.

416
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 4: But what else happened in team turmoil that you can

417
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 4: tell us?

418
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 5: Man, I don't know. It was like, you know, how

419
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 5: much of this is fair for it? I will I

420
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 5: will tell you this. You know, that team had a

421
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 5: chance to be really, really good. So if you remember

422
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 5: Jason Parker, so Tayshawn was a senior. Yeah, you know

423
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 5: you had Keith Bogan's was a junior year, Chuck Hayes

424
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 5: was a sophomore, and Jason Parker was absolutely annihilating people

425
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 5: in the summer before that year started. And so if

426
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 5: you had him down low like lookout, Yeah, and when

427
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 5: he tore his a cl up and you know, some

428
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 5: things started going sideways and he just got off the rounds.

429
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 6: But he tore it up during right before Madness, right

430
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 6: in the locker room or something with he jumping up

431
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 6: and down with you guys.

432
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 5: He was kind of shadow boxing, you know another factor fiction. Yeah,

433
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 5: that's a little shadow boxing with a few of the guys,

434
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 5: and you know, and it just went and went down.

435
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 4: In the locker room in the locker room for madness.

436
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 5: Correct.

437
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 4: Wow, that's correct.

438
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 3: What an unfortunate fluke injury, probably one of the biggest

439
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 3: in school history. On that one, there is a positive

440
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 3: memory I wanted to bring up from that group. It's

441
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 3: about one of your teammates. But I noticed the IQ

442
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 3: it took when Tayshawn was hitting five threes. You were

443
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 3: the starting point guard that game. You're out there running

444
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 3: the offense. But on that fifth one from half court,

445
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: you just said, I don't even need to bring the

446
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: ball up.

447
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 4: We'll let him bring it up.

448
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: He pulls from the logo which we all remember well

449
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 3: and I watched it again last night. You're in the corner,

450
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 3: you throw both arms in the air. You might have

451
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 3: been more excited than every fan in the building when

452
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 3: that fifth three went in. Yah, but everyone knows that

453
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: iconic run by Tayshawn, and you were right there next

454
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: to it. Yeah.

455
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 5: I was always playing chess, true. I mean, you know, look,

456
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 5: let's let him bring the ball.

457
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 4: At this time.

458
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 5: He seems like he's doing all right, little bit of

459
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 5: a heat check, so no kid know, like, it's not

460
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 5: even close. When the fifth one went in, it's as

461
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 5: loud as I ever heard upper Yeah, And it was

462
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 5: truly when you just knew it was one of those

463
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 5: special moments that you know wasn't going to be recreated.

464
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 5: And you know, to this day, I think for people

465
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 5: that have attended rub, a lot of them talk about

466
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 5: Shaq back in the day when they came in. Would

467
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 5: a lot of them talk about that? Yeah, that that

468
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 5: fifth three going. I mean, you know, my buddy was

469
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 5: in the h This is a great story. So my

470
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 5: buddy was in the upper deck. He had taken two

471
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 5: Carolina fans and they were wearing Carolina stuff and he

472
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 5: told us that this isn't a good idea, Like you're

473
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 5: sitting in the upper you're wearing Carolina gear. And he's like,

474
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 5: I will be all right. When the fifth one went in,

475
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 5: there was a like grandma behind them that almost head

476
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 5: butted him. And so you should hear him tell this story.

477
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 5: He got hit budted by Grandma in the upper deck

478
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 5: when the fifth one went in.

479
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 3: It does not surprise me at all.

480
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 4: Well, I was there on press row.

481
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 6: It's like the only time I just spontaneously stood up

482
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 6: and started clapping yeah, because it was man, it was

483
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 6: just an unbelievable moment one of the loudest. It definitely

484
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 6: is one of the loudest moments ever at Rapperina ever.

485
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt, Yeah it was. It was. It was

486
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 5: just one of those moments you'll never forget. The man

487
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 5: had the look in his eyes and it was his time.

488
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 4: Did they owe shruggy shoulders like I can't miss? Yeah.

489
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,880

490
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: denims coming back later this season, But I'm pretty partial.

491
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 3: You all had one of my favorites. I don't really

492
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 3: know how to describe it, but you kind of had

493
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: that varsity curved iconic lettering a little stripe down the side.

494
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 3: Did you all did ay? Do yourppreciate them as much

496
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 3: time favorites. And did you all ever work in an

498
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 5: You know, we didn't. I'm probably not the right guy

499
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 5: if you want to talk sneakers in uniforms. I'm pretty

500
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 5: just kind of not did my world, Uh, but I did.

501
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 5: I did have the denim kicks back in the day,

502
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 5: growing up, when those were going like uh huhh, and

503
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 5: I you know, like you know how they received a

504
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 5: little bit and you know, it was kind of some

505
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 5: negativity with those Oh yeah, I was in. I was

506
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 5: in from the beginning. I liked them, so uh now

507
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 5: it's just it's really cool that they're going to bring

508
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 5: that back.

509
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 6: You've kind of taken on a new role the last

510
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 6: couple of years as it not just a former player,

511
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 6: but you were also kind of an advisor of sorts

512
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 6: to Caw. How did that relationship develop and what exactly

513
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 6: did you to do for help for him?

514
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 4: Yeah?

515
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 5: No, yeah, So let me just kind of just tell

516
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 5: you the story. So, you know, I got to know Caw.

517
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 5: I had a great run in North Carolina. I was

518
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 5: down there with some guys playing the game at a

519
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 5: really high level, some people that I'm really thankful for.

520
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 5: And we had a great business run down there. And

521
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 5: one of the things we did is we spun off

522
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 5: a venture fun called Canopy, and Cow was an investor.

523
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 5: So I got to you know, I was in North Carolina,

524
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 5: but I knew a little bit of Cow, and so

525
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 5: when I moved back, basically Cal calls me up and says, hey,

526
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 5: I want to come talk to you. It's like, I'm sure,

527
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 5: Coach so he comes down and basically he says, look,

528
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 5: this nil thing is hitting a different gear. It's like,

529
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 5: what do you mean, Coach. He's like, well, look, you know,

530
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 5: I kind of hate it all. But what I've done

531
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 5: in the past is we would go out and have

532
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 5: these summer camps and then we would just pass that

533
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 5: money out socialistically across all the players, and then the

534
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 5: dudes that were packing the mail could go get their

535
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 5: own deals, and Oscar would go get his deal. Caseon

536
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 5: Wallace would go get and I don't have to worry

537
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 5: about it. And that's great. But he said times are changing.

538
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 5: And here's what I mean by that. He says, you know,

539
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 5: I've got these guys coming in. And so this was

540
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 5: Reid was coming in, Dillingham was coming in, Wagner and

541
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 5: Justin Edwards and he's like, I got some Mama's calling

542
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 5: me saying, coach, what you going to do for me?

543
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 5: And he's like, well, you've got the Nike contract, you

544
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 5: got the Panini. They're like, no, no, no, no, what are

545
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 5: you going.

546
00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 4: To do for me?

547
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 5: He's like, I gotta I gotta raise some money. So

548
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 5: I told coach, look, I don't want to see any money.

549
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 5: I got a lot going on. I can't handle anything

550
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 5: administrative leave, but I'm happy to put some guys in

551
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 5: the room. And he wanted to kind of have a

552
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 5: tight knit group that, you know, every thirty days hung

553
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 5: out and did some things, and they put up some

554
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 5: money and really just kind of helped him as he

555
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 5: was trying to just band aid this thing and figure

556
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 5: it out. Yeah, because it was new to everybody. It

557
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 5: was new to everybody, and he was just trying to

558
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 5: figure it out. So yeah, no, uh, honestly, you know,

559
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 5: on Count I still have a great relationship and he's

560
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 5: on a roll right now. By the way, too, He's

561
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 5: throwing some some singers out there.

562
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 3: The other night he was on fire. It's like eight

563
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: minutes of ranting about the current state of n CAA.

564
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: We mentioned that yesterday during the show. He's also got

565
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 3: a couple of stud freshman guards that he needs to

566
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,800

00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: some success after basketball, and you've been big and giving

605
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: back to UK. What's you know? You mentioned just the

606
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 3: importance of what it was your career and you know,

607
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 3: even your career outside of basketball, But it just how

608
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: much is important to you to to give back and

609
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 3: still be a part of this operation years after you

610
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 3: were on the court.

611
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 5: No, thank you. It is important. But let me just

612
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 5: say this, because I've had a few things go my

613
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 5: way in the business world, and it certainly give myself

614
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 5: a credit for taking some risk and trying to work

615
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 5: really hard. But man, my story is full with a

616
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 5: lot of grace. Right time, right place. I got around

617
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 5: some amazing people doing things at a high level. If

618
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 5: my grandkids asked me what I got right, I'd tell

619
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 5: them I followed a man named Chip Mayheon, I bet

620
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 5: on the right horse. And you know, sometimes when you

621
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 5: get around people like that that are you know, taking

622
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 5: three companies, spoke these guys from Frankfurt, Kentucky. He's taking

623
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 5: three companies public. I think he's one of the top

624
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 5: three entrepreneurs to ever come out of Kentucky. You know,

625
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 5: getting exposure to people like that who are playing the

626
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 5: game at a high level, but also are good human

627
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 5: beings that are actually honoring their marriage, are good to

628
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 5: their family, are good to their people. You're watching them

629
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 5: handle wealth well, you know what it means to give,

630
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 5: and you know, when you're around people like that, hopefully

631
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 5: some of the rubs off. But man, I've always kind

632
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 5: of thought, and I've got a chance to be around

633
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 5: some people that have handled it really well. It's like, man,

634
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 5: it just seems like the happiest people that have also

635
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 5: had some things break their way, or some of the

636
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 5: biggest givers. And it's almost like, man, when you're given

637
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 5: to something that is bigger than you, it just does

638
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 5: more for your heart and soul that you know, any

639
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 5: personal achievement can really do and so hopefully I can

640
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 5: do a lot more of that. But but yeah, it is,

641
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 5: it is important to me. But you know, I will

642
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 5: always say, man, I got around some really great folks

643
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 5: and was a big part of my launching pad.

644
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 3: With your your contributions and still being around, I'm sure

645
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 3: you're pretty locked in as a fan these days too.

646
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah.

647
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 5: So I moved back and that's where you know, Cal

648
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 5: and I really started connecting. As you know, I spent

649
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 5: ten years in North Carolina. I had a great run

650
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 5: down there. Little bank I was a part of went

651
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 5: public and became a chief revenue officer. I was probably

652
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 5: the most unqualified person to.

653
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 4: Ever sitting that.

654
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 5: That's okay, it was, But I had had a great run.

655
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 5: We spun a software company off called Ensino that also

656
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 5: went public, So just a great, great ride. I had

657
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 5: a front row seat to really watching the game of

658
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 5: business being played. And so I moved back, you know,

659
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 5: five years ago, and that's when Cal and I kind

660
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 5: of really connected, and you know, I was saying, like,

661
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 5: you know, he and I would talk a lot about

662
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 5: this opportunity because Cal was always pro paying guys like

663
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 5: he wanted dudes to make some money, yes, and we

664
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 5: talked a lot about just what an incredible opportunity this

665
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 5: is if it was handled correctly. And so you know,

666
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 5: at twenty two, I didn't come from business. People are entrepreneurs.

667
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 5: But I looked at a compounding chart when I was

668
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 5: twenty two and seared into my brain is this fifteen

669
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 5: percent compounded doubles every five years. So I didn't have

670
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 5: any money. I had five thousand bucks. That's because I

671
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 5: barn Doorn with Tashan. They were all there to see him,

672
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 5: but he had he had to cut up the register

673
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 5: at the end of the day.

674
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: Those are trips for fun.

675
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 5: That was good, but you know, I just ran it out.

676
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 5: Wasn't a noble goal. But I was like, I got

677
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 5: five thousand bucks. How long is it going to take

678
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 5: to be a millionaire?

679
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 4: Right?

680
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 5: And so like I got a double, I got a double.

681
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 5: But you know, like, look and think like these these

682
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 5: guys have truly a special opportunity. They have hit the lottery.

683
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 5: And what I mean by that is the power of

684
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 5: compounding is the earlier you start it has power. And

685
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 5: the real power is how much time do you have

686
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 5: to do it? So let's just say this, let's just

687
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 5: say a guy for easy numbers, your math guy, right.

688
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, big math guy, he's our math gun for sure.

689
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 5: Let's just say a guy has a million dollars in

690
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 5: post tax money, which is not unheard of at twenty

691
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 5: years old, and let's just say he doesn't touch it

692
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 5: for thirty five years, so go from twenty to fifty five,

693
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 5: and let's just say not a fifteen percent return, Let's

694
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 5: just say it. It compounds annually at ten percent, which

695
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,719
Speaker 5: is historically what the S and P has done. What

696
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 5: do you think he's got at fifty five years old

697
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 5: if he's never touched that money, and he guesses.

698
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 4: Five million?

699
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 5: True?

700
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 3: You know, I guess I was just watching Ryan's face.

701
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 3: I'll say ten million, So.

702
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 5: Thirty two million dollars? WHOA, So ten percent doubles every

703
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 5: seven years, so from twenty to fifty five. So now

704
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 5: I want you to think about this. So let's let's

705
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 5: let's do this. Let's discount it for inflation. So really

706
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 5: in today's dollars, you bem and we're between twelve and

707
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 5: fifteen million dollars. Now, you guys both live pretty lavish

708
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 5: row lifestyles. I see you on the strap everything he's

709
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 5: wearing high money boys. But do you think you'd be

710
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 5: okay with fifteen million bucks?

711
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 4: I think I can live on that.

712
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,239
Speaker 5: So what I guess I'm saying is like, that's not

713
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 5: doing anything fancy, that's not doing anything cute, that's not

714
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 5: doing thing over you know, over over complicated. But as

715
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 5: a financial advisor day we tell clients all the time,

716
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 5: like in the early years of your life, the saving

717
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 5: behavior is more important, and later in life you know

718
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 5: it's the actual returns that matter more. But basically you

719
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,479
Speaker 5: have erased what people typical people do from twenty to

720
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 5: fifty five of grinding it out, and finally you've just

721
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 5: fast forwarded that to their when they're twenty. So if

722
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 5: they actually have the right support system, whether they ever

723
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 5: play in the NBA one day, you can change generations

724
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 5: of families by this opportunity they have up right now,

725
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 5: if it's actually treated correctly, which just kind of blows

726
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 5: my mind. And I would tell cals like, how if

727
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 5: you let these dudes put this in their bank account,

728
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 5: in their checking account, you might as well just sayd

729
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 5: on my handgun. It's that dangerous, right, And it's hard

730
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 5: to understand how unique of an opportunity is when you're

731
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 5: eighteen nineteen. But I listened to Willy yesterday. Willie was

732
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 5: talking about, man, it's like this stuff doesn't last forever,

733
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 5: and you think it's going to and then now I'm

734
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 5: trying to work through financial stuff, So I care more

735
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 5: about the fifty five year old, Oh take away, rather

736
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 5: than the twenty two year old I bet. Willy Colly says,

737
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 5: I wish when I was twenty two there was somebody

738
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 5: around me that cared about the forty year old Willie.

739
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 5: So it's an incredible opportunity if it's handled correctly. But

740
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 5: they've truly hit the lottery, this kind of once in

741
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 5: a lifetime opportunity.

742
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

743
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 3: Willy said as much yesterday, Like I wish someone it

744
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 3: was just you go here, you're here. This isn't taken

745
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 3: care of And they had like one meeting where they

746
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 3: tried to teach them. But at college, when you're looking

747
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 3: at the NBA, your brain's not thinking about compound interest

748
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 3: and how much you're gonna have a fifty five Willie.

749
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 3: Also to your other point about being around people there

750
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 3: giving I thought it was interesting yesterday Willy mentioned taking

751
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 3: care of that kid, maybe a little bit of sticker

752
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 3: shock there, but he has that giving attitude of you know,

753
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 3: I'll be rewarded for that on down the road. You know,

754
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 3: sometimes it's just about doing the right thing. So kind

755
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 3: of tied in yesterday's interview with all your comments there, Ron,

756
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 3: you got any more fun memories before we let him go?

757
00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 6: Well, I wanted to ask you, you know what you

758
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,239
Speaker 6: did with coach Cal what what what are you doing

759
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 6: anything with coach Pope staff, like if you transferred in

760
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 6: transformed into that role.

761
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 4: Also, yeah, I've got to know those guys.

762
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 5: I don't do any like active fun. I mean, the

763
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 5: whole game has changed, right, you know, I've got JMI

764
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 5: now is in the middle, and you know some of

765
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 5: this personal stuff is it's all changed. But love those guys.

766
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 5: I've got to know, you know, Pope and the staff

767
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 5: really well, you know, they come through every once in

768
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 5: a while with with with guys. But I'm not like,

769
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 5: you know, I was kind of like actively in the

770
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 5: middle of it with Cal, right, But I mean I'm

771
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 5: out here to do whatever those guys. Love those guys, man.

772
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 5: I'm just so fun seeing get healthy. Man, It's just

773
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 5: like we're turning the corner these last couple of games

774
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 5: have kind of energized the fan base and it seems

775
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 5: like a different level effort out there right now too.

776
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 5: And you know they've been Look, I think last year,

777
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 5: if you don't hit hit with the injury bug, that

778
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 5: that team last year had a real chance to actually

779
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 5: do some damage. And you know, unfortunately we get hit

780
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 5: with the bug again this year. But you know, it's

781
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 5: just amazing what one player, you know, you at a

782
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 5: point guard out there and everybody the energy and confidence

783
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 5: seems to reverberate through the entire team and kind of

784
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 5: what Jayalen Lowe's brain of the team.

785
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 3: You've done the SEC Gatlin a few times, had some

786
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 3: success there. I know Conference is a little better than

787
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 3: it was during during your time. But you think things

788
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 3: stay healthy, They capable of making a run and getting

789
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 3: to some of their original goals, even though the year

790
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 3: didn't start exactly as anyone wanted.

791
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 5: I mean, I think so like, look, if you know

792
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 5: Jalen Lowe is a game changer, he can do things

793
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 5: out there that nobody else can if you have him

794
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 5: at the point and he and he's healthy, and Oway

795
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 5: goes and does otega Oway normal stuff. If Cam Williams

796
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 5: becomes a six eight defensive threat that can also make shots.

797
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 5: JQ and Malaca are beating stuff up that comes in

798
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 5: the paint. You know, there's a different level of presence

799
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 5: with JQ. Diabate returns to kind of what he does,

800
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 5: being a physical dog. And and then you've got you know,

801
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 5: Garrison coming in for spots. You got Noah and those

802
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 5: guys coming in making shots. Aberdy that team can beat teams. Yes,

803
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 5: now you know, I'm a little ware about that shoulder,

804
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 5: you know, and popping out. But man, if if that

805
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 5: guy is healthy and we have that roster, yeah, we

806
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 5: can lay some up and beat and beat some teams,

807
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 5: no doubt.

808
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 3: Why do you think they seem to We keep hearing

809
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 3: about in practice, can't miss, can't miss, the offense looks

810
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 3: great three point shooting, and then in most games, especially

811
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 3: the big ones, when the lights come on, it's not

812
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 3: moving from the Craft Center to the to big stage.

813
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 3: Do you do you have any insight or do you

814
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 3: think there's any reason into why it's we keep hearing

815
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: practice it's lights out, and then those same guys haven't

816
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 3: gotten it going quite to the level that the everyone anticipates.

817
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 5: I mean, I think there is a mental component to it.

818
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 5: But I think you know, if you look at Cam

819
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 5: Williams the last few get he looks like he's playing

820
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 5: with a little different confidence. And sometimes a guy just

821
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,719
Speaker 5: needs to see a few go back. He saw more

822
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 5: than a few go down. And if you were to

823
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 5: ask any of those assistants like man who's game in

824
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 5: practice hasn't transit, they would all say, Cam Williams, you

825
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 5: know that guy didn't wake up and just forget how

826
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 5: to shoot. But you know, you throw a few air

827
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 5: balls up and up and you start thinking about it

828
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 5: and then playing spot minutes and now you can't get

829
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 5: in the flow. Well, you know he's getting enough minutes.

830
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 5: Now it just seems like his rhythm is coming, his

831
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 5: confidence is going up, and then it's almost like this

832
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 5: mental switch, man, And when it happens, you know the

833
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 5: you know, the the sea's part a little bit.

834
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 4: J P.

935
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,600

936
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 3: off your bill.

937
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 4: Yeah.

938
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,160

941
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 3: See you know the math. Everyone should take advantage of

942
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 3: that free plug. To Jeff Ruby's we'll be there tonight.

943
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll see fence. That's what we wonder.

944
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 4: I'd say the chances are pretty high.

945
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, A happy early birthday to Brian and Jamie. Ryan.

946
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,200

Speaker 4: Tomorrow, Miami and Ohio State tonight. Right.

949
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, what a coincidence though, that we have to do

950
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 3: a draftking segment picking games were way better to pick

951
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 3: from the college football playoff. You, as evident by our parlay,

952
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 3: are quite the expert on college football. So we'll make

953
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 3: our picks for this one. I might even should fade

954
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 3: you and go against you. We're gonna trust you. How

955

Speaker 3: twenty five.

957
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 6: Well, considering I picked Miami to lose to who would

958
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 6: they play? Who Miami beat Alabama A and M.

959
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 3: That's right, Okay, I think I think you answered my

960
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 3: question here. We will be fading Ryan picks, So I.

961
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 6: Picked I picked A and M to beat Miami. So

962
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 6: now I'm definitely picking Ohio State to beat Miami.

963
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 3: All right, Well, at least you know who plays what

964
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:07,839

965
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:08,200

Speaker 3: care about yesterday's games. Yes, nine and a half. Who

971
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 3: are you taking? We're going against the spread, Ohio State's

972
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 3: and nine and a half point favorite in the Cotton

973

Speaker 3: Bowl seven point thirty on ESPN? Are you taking the

974
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 3: Hurricanes or the buck Eyes with that nine and a

975
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 3: half point spread.

976
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 4: I've taken the buck guys.

977
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 6: They're still mad at Indiana beat him in the Big

978
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 6: Ten championship, but Buck guys and the points.

979
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,640

982
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 4: Nine and a half.

983
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 3: Ohio State will win, But I do think that's that's

984
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 3: too many points, a lot of points. I mean, they're

985
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 3: probably my pick to win the whole thing. But nine

986
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 3: and a half. I'll take those points. You're gonna give

Speaker 3: two and a half point favorite.

994
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 6: Oregon has the best offensive coordinator in the history of

995
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 6: college football. I think he'll make a great head coach

996
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 6: somewhere someday. So I'm going with Oregon.

997
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 3: All right, I'll take Texas Tech. Alabama Indiana, your former

998
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,439

999
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 6: That's a lot of points. Indiana wins, but Alabama may cover.

1000

00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 6: beat Ohio State. They deserve their respect.

1003
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,440
