Here at four Street live, our beautiful Fourth 16 00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.640 Street Live Studios. John, where's everybody at? I'm not sure 17 00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.319 I've ever seen the garage where we like, we're all 18 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:08.879 of our iHeart employ coworkers, our colleagues, where we park, 19 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:10.400 there's no like, there's nobody here. 20 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:11.680 Yeah, I don't know what it is. 21 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:12.239 Do you notice it? 22 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:12.359 Do? 23 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:12.840 Yeah? 24 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.959 I feel like this normally happens on Fridays, But I 25 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:17.159 don't really know what the case is too. 26 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.280 So we've we had we have. I think he's still here. 27 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.840 We've got a visitor here in in town. He is 28 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:27.879 he's I mean, he's the higher up, he's he's the 29 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.239 he's the brass, or at least part of the brass 30 00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:33.439 here at iHeart so yesterday there was a lot of 31 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.359 people here. In fact, I got to meet him, good conversation. 32 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:39.280 But I don't know, maybe they're out doing some kind 33 00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:43.319 of event, because it is unusual to see this place 34 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:44.000 this empty. 35 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:44.239 Now. 36 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.000 I hope I didn't just make a mistake here, because 37 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.799 you know, it could be that because we've got one 38 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.920 of the the big wigs in town that you know, 39 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.640 the bosses, those who do in fact oversee a lot 40 00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:01.239 of us rather it be programming, sales, whatever, promote. Like, 41 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.439 maybe they're all out having like a big meeting meeting 42 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:08.319 the bosses, and everybody else realized that, so they just 43 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:09.960 got out of here. That's the case thing I just 44 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.560 told on them. I just I just tattled, which is 45 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.919 not good. But anyways, there's something weird about being here 46 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.719 when it doesn't feel like anybody else is here. I mean, 47 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:21.560 we're not empty. Obviously, You've got the one and only 48 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:23.159 Terry Miners down the hall. I'm not going to tell 49 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:24.560 you what station he's on. You'll have to find it 50 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:26.039 for yourself. Not that that would be hard to do, 51 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.759 but you know, I'm not inviting you to go elsewhere. 52 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:29.879 You need to stay here with us on Sports Talk 53 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.199 seven ninety. But outside of Terry and you know, his 54 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.560 team that helps him put on his show, obviously Ian 55 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.159 and our news team, Paul Miles, those guys, and then 56 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:40.680 it's us, And I think that's about it. 57 00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.199 The one the weirdest thing about working here sometimes is 58 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.199 you never know what day of the week how many 59 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:47.840 people are going to be in this building, and they 60 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.240 can throw off the rhythm just because things can just 61 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.719 like yesterday and today can be night and day. You'll 62 00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.960 have eight hundred people apparently like it seemed like yesterday 63 00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:58.840 to where you have maybe six or seven today. 64 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.840 And what's weird is that we don't during the show 65 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.319 interact with anybody. No yet for some reason, like it 66 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.280 does have somewhat of an impact on like the vibe 67 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.400 around here, and you know, we make it work regardless. 68 00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.479 But and it's not that I don't enjoy being in 69 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.840 an office where you know, there's a lot of people 70 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.599 and it's lively and you know, you're doing the office 71 00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.159 thing right, small talk, you know, getting to know your coworkers, socializing, 72 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.000 that kind of stuff, while also getting work done and 73 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.400 being productive. But when we're here and it's kind of empty, 74 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:29.400 I kind of. 75 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:29.960 Like it that way. 76 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.280 There's no easy way to say that, because it sounds 77 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:33.719 like I want everybody to never come in, But that's 78 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:34.240 not what I mean. 79 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.120 I became full time here kind of in the midst 80 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.240 of all the COVID stuff. Still, I was furloughed when 81 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.000 I was part time that I came back full time, 82 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.120 and it was at the time where a lot of 83 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.000 people still weren't back in the office, who were still 84 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:46.960 in the old building, and I just got used to 85 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.960 nobody being around. And so that's really kind of all 86 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:50.680 I've ever known. 87 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.919 True, And that makes me sad because it used to 88 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.800 be a different world. I mean, and I'm sure most 89 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.719 jobs are like this now, especially those that have like 90 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.840 an office setting that kind of stuff. We used to 91 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.520 have at least I don't know, fifty people at our 92 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.960 building every day. Maybe that's a little bit of an exement. 93 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.319 At one point it was that, but over the years 94 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.919 it shifted a little bit. And then, of course with 95 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.680 the pandemic. It kind of just led to us abandoning 96 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.279 that office and we've got a new office now, and 97 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.360 you know, there's people that come into work, but it's 98 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:26.120 more of a hybrid situation for really everybody involved. So anyways, 99 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.680 it's beautiful. So for wherever my colleagues are, I hope 100 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.040 they're enjoying themselves. I'm sure they're working hard and enjoying 101 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.680 this beautiful, beautiful day that we have here in this 102 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.160 wonderful city of Louisville, Kentucky. It doesn't feel like it's 103 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.399 late October because that warm weather's here, but it's certainly 104 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:44.519 nice outside, and it looks as if the rain chances 105 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.639 for tomorrow, I mean they're still there. But I checked 106 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.800 the app that I have on my phone. That's the 107 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.519 only as that's as interested as I am and really 108 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.199 knowing what the forecast is going to be. I'm not 109 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.240 tuning in. I'm not looking at all kinds of different options. 110 00:04:58.240 --> 00:04:59.800 I'm just gonna pull out my phone and look at 111 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.639 the app and it says now forty five percent, which 112 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:05.600 I think two days ago was like eighty, So it's improving. 113 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:06.160 Hopefully. 114 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.240 Nobody's trying to scare families into not Trigg or treating tomorrow. 115 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:14.240 Well, I'm glad you said that, because you know, the 116 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.720 internet's a wild place right now with this election coming 117 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:22.360 up in less than a week, and it kind of 118 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.680 blows my mind as far as what you see on 119 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:30.639 different social media platforms and really how and again I 120 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.920 don't follow politics closely. I'm not even sharing like a 121 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.240 political comment here at least I don't think I am. 122 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:38.439 I'm sure people can take it whatever where they want 123 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.079 and you know, react however they want, make whatever opinion 124 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.879 you wanted me out of this, but I can't think 125 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:51.600 of there ever being an election where we were this divided. 126 00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:58.800 But also, like I think the levels of being biased 127 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:03.519 on both sides is alarming, but also nowhere it's insanely 128 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.800 higher than it's ever been. And what I mean is 129 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.240 that like even you know, the left and the right, 130 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:11.920 like I see both sides people that I know, people 131 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.279 who you know, have millions of followers that clearly are 132 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.439 you know, in that game, in that space, meaning they 133 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.480 cover politics like it's so one sided on their side 134 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:23.800 and it's just and I know that's always been there 135 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.240 for the most part, but like we've never been this 136 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.160 divided and Unfortunately, whoever wins, I don't think it's going 137 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:29.680 to bring. 138 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.360 Us all together. I think it's just going to lead 139 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:32.959 to you know, who knows what. 140 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.360 But something I'm more worried about the days after the 141 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:37.079 election than actual election day. 142 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:38.759 Yeah, oh yeah, I mean, I mean, I think a 143 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.199 lot of people are thinking, like, hey, cause again, what 144 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:46.639 do I know? But there are some and I'm kind 145 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.839 of in this group. I don't know how what percentage 146 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:53.600 of the population this group represents, but they're going to vote. 147 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.319 They have an opinion, but they realize that, like the 148 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.920 grand scheme of things, their vote really isn't gonna change it. 149 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.279 They're one person. So it's more about like, hey, I 150 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:05.920 know what I'm gonna do, but we'll sit back and 151 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.639 see what happens and man from there, once we know 152 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:13.319 who won, it's gonna be you know, because I mean, anyways, 153 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.079 I didn't want to go there today, But what brought 154 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.839 me there was you mentioning trying to scare people off 155 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:22.000 from Halloween and trick or treating tomorrow, which isn't anything political. 156 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.639 However, yesterday I just. 157 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.120 Put the kids to bed, I'm sitting on the recliner 158 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.759 and apparently one of the communities in Southern Indiana. I 159 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:31.920 don't know which one it is. I guess put out 160 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.839 some kind of a you know, the official Facebook page 161 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:37.639 for I don't know, one of the southern Indiana communities. 162 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:39.839 Maybe it's Clarksville, maybe it's New Albany, Jeffersonville. I really 163 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:41.319 don't know, and I probably, I probably should have looked 164 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.000 this up before I just started, you know, talking about it, 165 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.120 but I didn't plan to. But there were people like 166 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.959 they're telling people to move, you know, to move their 167 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.199 tricker treating time in that community. That's that that area 168 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:56.240 from Thursday to Friday, from like six to eight pm. 169 00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:01.639 And you know, it was outrage. They're trying to control us. Sorry, 170 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.000 my family trick or treats on Halloween. 171 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:04.519 Damn it. 172 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.839 I mean, like that's where we are. Like somebody saw 173 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.879 that it's gonna rain, and you don't want kids to 174 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.399 to be out in the rain, and it would be 175 00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:16.399 miserable for anybody to be trick or treating in the rain. 176 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.040 So somebody who has, you know, say so within this community, 177 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.399 this area, they decided, well, let's let's move it back 178 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.399 a day to encourage to let people know that we 179 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.879 are gonna you know, observe time when it's nicer outside 180 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:30.639 and you may not be able to hit as many houses, 181 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:32.240 but like this will give us you know, this is 182 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.399 encouraging people to put out candy when it's not wet outside. 183 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.120 And it led to people just thinking, well, uh, now 184 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:39.919 they're trying to control us again. Now they're trying to 185 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.120 change Halloween. I'll be damned if I'm gonna let them 186 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:45.919 have any can like no, no matter what happens, rather 187 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.440 it be news, you know, a big event. There's a 188 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.080 level of like thinking that somebody's trying to control you 189 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:55.840 that I find fascinating, Like I actually I think it's entertaining, 190 00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.159 like not that that that, you know, because I don't 191 00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.600 really think people are trying to control you in a 192 00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.360 way that you know that others do, but like to 193 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:04.600 see the reaction from some and as soon as like 194 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:05.919 I know, as soon as I say, well, I'm not 195 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:07.840 really sure that they're worried about me. It's like the 196 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.159 thing with the vaccine, like the chip, you know, like 197 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.279 I would lean into that and like make fun of 198 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.120 it because yeah, yeah I got my chip, I got 199 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.120 my booster chip. Like just because people would think that 200 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.320 they're planning a chip inside of you, and I just 201 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:21.799 think that's funny that that's that's what people think. But 202 00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:25.159 even if they were, I mean, anyway. 203 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:26.440 We all have a chip in our hands into our 204 00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:27.720 cell phone. Yeah, like it's. 205 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:28.360 What's the different? 206 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.759 Well said, that's a good point. But anyways, we are 207 00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.279 six days away, is that right? It's next Tuesday? 208 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:34.559 Isn't it? 209 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:34.840 Tuesday? 210 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:35.240 The election? 211 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.759 So Chris glad we have plenty of alternatives that night too, though, 212 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:38.519 instead of elections. 213 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:42.639 Oh yeah, absolutely, You've got obviously, the the Champions Classic. 214 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.000 You've got the. 215 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.039 First look at the college football playoff rankings, and I 216 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.679 can tell you this, that's where I will be spending 217 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.240 my time. I'm going to be watching the rankings and 218 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.559 watching some good college basketball matchups, and I'll be keeping up. 219 00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.279 I mean, I'm not gonna lie and I act like 220 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.200 you know, I'll wake up the next day and just 221 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.240 then then I'll find out, Like I mean, it's gonna be. 222 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.559 It's got to be one of the most anticipated elections ever, right, 223 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.159 I mean it's always last. 224 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:12.519 Two or three have progressively gotten more and more contentious, but. 225 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:14.879 This one's next level, right. I don't know. 226 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.440 For me personally, I feel like I've done a really 227 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.120 good job at tuning out a lot of the nonsense 228 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:23.279 this time around. That wasn't the case with the previous 229 00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.399 two elections. I just I'm just fed up with the 230 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:28.360 people who can't control, whether you're talking about earlier, people 231 00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:32.000 who just don't act like human beings on whether it 232 00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.720 be in real life or social media, any of that stuff. 233 00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.679 It's just not worth taking the time to look at it. 234 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.720 I feel well, And I mean, we've never been in 235 00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:44.399 a period where I don't know what to believe, Like 236 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.039 I mean, I don't know what's real, what's not. I 237 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.799 don't know what video clip that is shared as doctored, 238 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.759 Like I saw two different clips of what Biden said 239 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.679 about Trump's supporters being trash, and like I wouldn't mean, 240 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:00.440 I don't know if it's AI, I don't know if 241 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.080 it's just edited. I don't know what it is, but 242 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.960 like it looked real to me, And I watched two 243 00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.519 different versions of it, and I would have easily believed 244 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.080 that both were legit, and clearly there's not. It wasn't 245 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:12.679 as if it was. I mean one of them was. 246 00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:14.559 Doctor not sure which one it was, you know what 247 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.480 I mean, Like it's just where we are. So it's 248 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:20.559 a good time, though, because when you've got college football 249 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.639 going on, the NFL's going on, obviously, the NBA has 250 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:27.240 already started. College basketball actually starts right as the election day. 251 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:33.840 It actually strets the day before election day, next next Monday. Yeah, 252 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:36.519 so you know, that's a nice distraction. But I will 253 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:41.440 be more interested to see what happens, not only on 254 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.559 election Day, election night, what happens after the fact. I'm 255 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.519 more interested in that than I've ever been. And it's 256 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.399 not because you know, I'm a concerned American citizen about 257 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:51.879 our future. 258 00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:53.879 I mean, I would like to lie. 259 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.039 I could lie to you and tell you that that's why, 260 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.039 But I mean, I feel like I have no real 261 00:11:58.039 --> 00:11:59.480 control over it. So I'm just gonna sit back and 262 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.120 watch and what happened. Yeah, Now, I do feel like 263 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:06.080 you know, I mean I have, I have probably stronger 264 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:09.679 opinions on who I'm voting for than I've ever had, 265 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.480 but I'm not going to share them here because what 266 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:12.159 good would that do? 267 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:13.240 What? You know what? 268 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:15.919 Uh, the only thing that could do is hurt me. 269 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.320 So anyways, twelve minutes in, let's let's let's move on 270 00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:21.600 from the election. Maybe maybe we'll get back in it later. 271 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.279 I know John's really itching to share his thoughts on 272 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.480 uh on what's gonna happen next Tuesday? 273 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.559 A kid, I mean, he might be, but we don't. 274 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.120 Well, show on Tuesday is actually going to be debating. 275 00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:31.159 You and me. 276 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.240 Yeah, we were gonna we were gonna let you guys 277 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.840 know that yesterday, but we forgot, as you know, but 278 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:36.720 six days out. 279 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:38.399 Just be ready from three to. 280 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:41.480 Six pm next Tuesday, it'll be nothing but wall to 281 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.759 wall election coverage analysis. Call in, tell us how much 282 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.960 you hate Kamala Harris, tell us how much you hate 283 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.240 Trump and wet we only we don't want you talking 284 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.399 about why you're gonna vote for this person and why 285 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:55.840 it's a good thing. We just want to hear how 286 00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.120 much you hate the other side that because that's what 287 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.480 we want. That's what we make good radios. So you 288 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.320 know that's what we'll do. Looking forward to it next 289 00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.200 next Tuesday. All right, it's coffee and company. That's us, 290 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:06.120 fueled by Thornton's. 291 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:06.559 You knew that. 292 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.519 But I love telling you and I'll keep telling you 293 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.559 as long as they keep our partnership going strong. And 294 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.000 it's been going strong for many years. Now, so they 295 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.960 support us, so you should support them. Please, I'm asking, 296 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.279 I'm begging, keep Thornton's in mind, regardless if it's just 297 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.799 stopping in to get a snack, maybe you need to 298 00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:26.200 fill up the car. And if you're doing it, I mean, 299 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:28.279 and you're in the Louisville area, the Kentucky and area, 300 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:30.240 I should say you're missing out by not being a 301 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.720 member of the Refreshing Awards program, because I mean, I 302 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:36.759 used to mention the amount of Thornton's locations in the 303 00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:39.080 Kentuckian area, but I lost count and every time I 304 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.240 would every time I would get comfortable with a new number, 305 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.080 I'd realize all they popped up two more. They got 306 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:44.919 one over on Fern Valley, they got one over on Preston, 307 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:48.759 So they're everywhere. So they're countless. And I'm sure there 308 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:50.679 is a specific number I could I could find out, 309 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:52.240 but I don't have it right now. So I'll just 310 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:53.759 tell you if you're in the Kentucky and area, there's 311 00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:56.639 likely a Thornton's very close to you. So keep them 312 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:00.440 in mind. And once you sign up to a member 313 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.360 of the Refreshment Awards program, which you've done, there is 314 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:06.879 you've committed.

He's going to join us 329 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.639 to talk about the matchup on Saturday night, Louisville and Clemson. 330 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:52.480 And this team's done it again, they have they've never 331 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.720 lost me. But it's been a wild ride. And again, 332 00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:58.600 I still think the best word to use here when 333 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:02.879 describing Louisville football in twenty twenty four. From a fans' perspective, 334 00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:05.840 it's frustrating because you know, there's a reason the computers, 335 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:08.919 the analytics love this team. Well I shouldn't say love them, 336 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:10.399 but they like them a lot better than you know 337 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:13.120 the record does. And you are what your record indicates. 338 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:15.120 The computers don't matter. The computers can't win for you. 339 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:19.240 But this team is actually shown to be you know, 340 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.679 I hate to say it because it's what losers say, 341 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.440 but I'll say it better than their record indicates, because 342 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.519 they've been in games with some good teams. Remember all 343 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:33.240 that nonsense everybody was yelling about before the season started, Well, 344 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.360 a little of it doesn't play anybody. Their schedules weak. 345 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.240 I mean, they'll probably walk into the playoff with that schedule, 346 00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:43.440 all that loud mouth nonsense. Louill's schedule is stronger than 347 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.320 most people realize, at least as of right now. 348 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:47.039 That could change. 349 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:50.039 But like Louisville has three losses, and all of their 350 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:53.919 losses are against teams that are ranked that will probably 351 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.159 end up being ranked for you know, I mean easily 352 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.320 SMU could fall if they dropped a pit which that's 353 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.080 who they're playing this weekend, which is actually a sneaky 354 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.120 good acc game. So, you know, Louisville, I still have 355 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:09.440 always believed this team has the ability to be better 356 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:12.200 than they've been, but you're getting late in the year 357 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:16.879 to where you really don't know, you know, you really 358 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:20.279 don't know if they're ever going to turn it on. 359 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:24.000 And what I don't know is this desperation for me. 360 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:28.519 Am I desperate here to you know, just try to 361 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:33.720 find something to grasp onto as a positive and carry 362 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:35.879 it into the game Saturday. So I'm at least excited 363 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:37.759 about it because I'm excited, and it's not that I've 364 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.159 got a ton of confidence. It's more just about seeing 365 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:42.879 all right, gut check time. Man, these guys came back 366 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:47.120 from twenty nothing. Twenty to nothing was the score in 367 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.039 the first half. They came back and won dominated the 368 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.879 rest of the way. And it wasn't just the fact 369 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:55.320 that they were able to overcome that adversity. It's also 370 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.799 that they I mean, they started carrying themselves a little 371 00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:04.359 bit different and the defense probably looked better than it 372 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:06.759 did at any point this year as far as consistently. 373 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:09.799 Right after Boston College scored in the third quarter, from 374 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:14.240 then on, they were dominant and I'm hoping that that 375 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.319 can carry over to Clemson. Obviously a big jump up 376 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:21.000 in competition from Boston College to Clemson. But again, for me, 377 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.839 it's never been about does Louisville have the ability do 378 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.160 they have good enough players? It's more so just been 379 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:27.680 about can they put it all together? And look, they 380 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:29.119 may put it all together and still come up short 381 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:32.559 because they are playing Clemson at their place. But I'm 382 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:36.440 as excited for this game as I have been for 383 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:41.240 really any game this year. I mean that because what 384 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:43.240 we sough at the end of Boston College like that 385 00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:47.160 was something like that was. I mean again, you can claim, well, hey, Nick, 386 00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:49.680 you're you're an idiot. That doesn't mean anything. Look who 387 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.079 they played, and maybe you're right, like maybe they'll get 388 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:55.359 humbled in a major way and get beat down at 389 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.160 Death Valley, like that's a real possibility. But it was 390 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:01.160 inspiring football. They weren't, you know, they looked sure of 391 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:04.400 themselves for the first time really since they played the 392 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:06.759 lousy teams earlier this year. So again, I'm sure it 393 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.839 sounds like some desperation on my end, just because I 394 00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:12.200 want to be excited and pumped up for a big game. 395 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:14.400 It is a chance to knock off a really good 396 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:17.119 team at their play, something you've never done before winning 397 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:19.440 at Clemson. So we'll talk about the matchup coming up 398 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:21.079 here in about ten minutes or so. When we were 399 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:24.119 joined by David Hale of ESPN, Looking forward to to 400 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.319 catching up with him also some of the things we'll 401 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.039
