WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:15.160 It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on 2 00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:26.120 Sports Talk seven nine day, now here's Nick Coffee. 3 00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.239 I'm kind of slap happy today. I mean, I feel 4 00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:34.159 like the energy the Shenanigans has been has been a 5 00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.799 little bit due to just despite us working like it 6 00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:38.439 kind of feels like a snow day, like we don't 7 00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:40.399 have to be on our best behavior. We don't have to. 8 00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:43.119 I mean, I probably shouldn't say that, you know, because 9 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.320 I'm sure my bosses expect me to take every day 10 00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:48.479 with the same level of work ethic and all that. 11 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:52.320 But Austin and I were giggling like school children during 12 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.520 the break because Chuck McDowell, that's a guy you hear 13 00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.520 a lot. Yeah, because he's very much into marketing and 14 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.039 advertise his business, and uh, we appreciate that, right because 15 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.000 that's something we rely on. And he's been a I mean, 16 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:07.879 you hear him a lot. And if you don't know 17 00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:09.959 who I'm talking about, and you're just thinking, like, who 18 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:12.120 the hell is Chuck McDowell, it's the guy that you 19 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.000 occasionally hear that wants you to know how badly he 20 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.400 hates time shares. Yeah, but what do you think he 21 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.079 hates more time shares or attorneys. That's I mean, I 22 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.079 think time shares has been his nemesis forever. And then 23 00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:25.640 now he's like, well, wait a second, these people think 24 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.359 I'm an attorney. The hell with that. I don't want 25 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:29.000 to smell like an attorney. I don't want to look 26 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.159 like an attorney. So I mean he's out on attorneys. 27 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:33.959 I mean he's not one, by the way, just get 28 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:34.359 it correct. 29 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:34.959 Yeah. 30 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:36.840 Also made a great point, like a guy who can 31 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.200 have that kind of you know, disdain for things and 32 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.640 clearly let and make it be known like it. Put 33 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.159 it this way. If he's loyal to me and we're 34 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:49.480 boys and I dislike condos, you know what, he's gonna 35 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.439 take down the condo industr. Oh yeah, because that's your 36 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:52.599 guy foxhol right. 37 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:53.040 Right. 38 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.040 I If if I even have a shred of doubt 39 00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.519 about ever wanting known a time share, or if my 40 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.159 fiance thinks about bringing one up, I'm gonna say no, no, no, no, 41 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.120 no not. That's not what my guy Chuck McDowell says. 42 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:08.960 You need a guy that's loyal. 43 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.039 He's gonna set her straight, set anybody straight. Because I 44 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.199 mean the guy he sounds like he hates doing it 45 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:18.639 with how much that he hates everything that's involved in it, 46 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.599 but he wants to protect the regular man, your everyday guy. 47 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.919 The attorney thing is somewhere. It's it's clearly the newer 48 00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.360 side of his of his marketing, because for a while 49 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.400 it was that very very unique voice that does stand 50 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.319 out and you just know that, like he's angry about 51 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:38.360 time shares and he wants to help you if you're 52 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:39.879 in a time share and don't listen to people in 53 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.360 the time share like it was all anti tom share. 54 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.240 And then I guess somebody probably wait a second, are 55 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.000 you an attorney? And then he was like, oh, now 56 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:48.479 I got to mix it up because I gotta let 57 00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:50.319 him know I'm anti time share. But I'll be damned 58 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:52.719 if they're gonna think all these years I've been an attorney. 59 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:53.280 So yeah. 60 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.280 So even even if you hate time shares and you 61 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:56.479 want to get out of him and you want to 62 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.240 call Chuck, you might think to yourself, well, is this 63 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.000 guy gonna screw me over because he's an attorney And Nope, 64 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:02.680 don't even think. 65 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:03.719 Don't even go down that road. 66 00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:05.960 Don't insult him like that. He'd never be doesn't even 67 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.400 want to smell him, doesn't even want him in the 68 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.840 same zip code as he's in, So shut up to 69 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.400 to Chuck McDowell here on a on a snowy Monday after. 70 00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:14.759 That sounds like he has a mustache. 71 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.319 Oh yeah, clearly he's got like a he's got like 72 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:19.039 a food man shoe. 73 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.520 I think, Oh yeah, that doesn't shock me. A mustache 74 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.560 and a cowboy hat is exactly I don't. 75 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.759 I want I want to don't don't, don't look him up. 76 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:27.560 I'm not gonna look him up. 77 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:28.120 You look him up. 78 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.360 I want the vision that I have in my head 79 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:35.800 of Chuck McDowell, Anti Tom Share Hell with attorneys. I 80 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.879 want the visual in my brain to to just always 81 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:40.520 be what I assume he looks like. 82 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:42.439 Yeah, I can imagine a meeting with him. 83 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.759 Is just like he he like Doug Demonome of the 84 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.400 Fairly Odd Parents. I don't know if you know who 85 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:49.919 that is. He's just like the owner of the Dimmesdale Demonome. 86 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.199 And he has a huge hat. I'm just gonna imagine 87 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.800 he has the stash fou Man chew and he's gonna 88 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:56.520 talk to you over a glass of scotch. 89 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.599 Yeah, and he's just he's just observing anybody talking and timeshare. 90 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:02.840 If here, if he hears, when he's gonna go over 91 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.039 there and he's going to deal with it, because that's. 92 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.639 That's his ears raised like a German shepherd. 93 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.759 Exactly exactly. It's a really weird thing to be that 94 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.039 hard up about. But clearly he had a bad experience 95 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:13.479 with the time share and he's been able to create 96 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.120 an entire new world for himself with a great career 97 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.199 where he body bags timeshare companies. 98 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.560 Good for him. You found something's passionate about. 99 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.000 Yeah, that's the that's the American dream right there. 100 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:23.480 All right. 101 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.839 So this weather today and yesterday has been I think, 102 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.439 really exactly what they were warning us about. And as 103 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.959 much as I and I like to acknowledge the oftentimes 104 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.319 they're wrong as far as what they predict will happen. 105 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.439 And sometimes they're just way off. Sometimes the snow is 106 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.879 not as much as they thought it would be. They 107 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.920 they two overestimating the the you know, the amount that 108 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.680 they're going to get by inch or two, maybe more 109 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.000 than that story of my life, right, But when it 110 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.040 comes down to it, this time they got it right. 111 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.199 They were spot on not only with the amount of snow, 112 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:03.839 but like when it would happen. I woke up on 113 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:07.319 Sunday morning about eight thirty ish, and sure enough, there 114 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.240 was already a nice little layer of snow out there, 115 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.160 and it kept going and didn't stop until last night. 116 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:14.639 And last night it turned to kind of freezing rain, 117 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.879 and we got some good snow out here where I'm at. 118 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:20.639 This morning, it snowed pretty consistently for you know, a 119 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.639 few hours, maybe even a little bit longer, but for 120 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.199 about an hour and some change, it was snowing really 121 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.000 really hard, probably harder than it was at any point 122 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.800 yesterday from what I could tell. So we got a 123 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.800 lot of snow, and that's led to a lot of 124 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:37.680 school closings, a lot of businesses closed, and roads aren't great. 125 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.319 So I think, you know, I'm not gonna actually shouldn't 126 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:41.399 say anything. I was gonna say. I feel like the 127 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.040 Interstates are probably not terrible, but I could be totally wrong, 128 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.040 because there's the thing. All it takes is you know, 129 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.759 them getting out there plowing the main roads with the 130 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.800 Interstates and just you know, mixing it up. But it 131 00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.319 quickly will freeze and that's when it gets really dangerous, 132 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:55.959 and that's the spot we're in now, I mean you can, 133 00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.720 I think you can. You can treat this, you know, 134 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.720 pretty effectively for the resources we have in a place 135 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:03.720 like Louisville that does get enough snow to where they've 136 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:05.920 got they've got what they need to go out there 137 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:07.639 and salt the roads and get the trucks out and 138 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:09.959 all that kind of stuff. But when it's this much 139 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.680 tono mixed in with the ice and the freezing rain, 140 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:14.720 and then it's gonna be as cold as it's going 141 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.519 to be, like, it makes sense as to why school 142 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.639 is canceled tomorrow, and I believe even on Wednesday for JCPS. 143 00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.759 Don't quote me on that because I don't have kids 144 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:29.600 in the JCPS, but yeah, I know that schools being 145 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.839 closed tomorrow and even Wednesday wouldn't necessarily be considered a 146 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.600 big shock here. But I'm reading from WLKY there are 147 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.800 one hundred and ten snowplow routes throughout the day in 148 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.680 about twenty seven hundred miles of roads here in Louisville. 149 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.160 And this is from Mayor Craig Greenberg. He had his 150 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.000 press conference earlier today and says it takes about six 151 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:53.839 hours to treat roads in Jefferson County and it takes 152 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.160 twelve hours to plow the roads, so not every road 153 00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:58.759 obviously is going to be getting touched. They don't have 154 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:00.519 the ability to do that. That would be a little much 155 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.720 to assume they could cover every road that is in 156 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.240 the state of the City of Louisville and Jefferson County. 157 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:10.519 But you know, if they're out there pretty consistently, I'd say, well, 158 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.199 we'll be in better shape tomorrow than we were today. 159 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.759 But when you think about kids at the bus stop 160 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.560 and some roads that aren't going to get treated that 161 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:21.480 those buses have to go down, it makes sense to 162 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.839 go ahead and call off school. And I know that, 163 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:30.120 I know that there are oftentimes angry parents that hate 164 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:33.279 when their kids are out of school because it inconveniences them. 165 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.199 And look, I get it, I don't you know. I 166 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.319 never understood what anybody gets out of going to Facebook 167 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:42.759 and just you know, letting the like if you get 168 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.040 frustrated with your kids having a snow day because you 169 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:46.800 don't think it was necessary, you feel like the roads 170 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.480 are fine and your kids could have taken the bus. 171 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:50.959 I get it, Like I could understand how you're thinking. 172 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.160 Come on, like, now I got to go pay out 173 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.120 of pocket for a day at childcare, and now I 174 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.800 got to take a PTO day at work because I 175 00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.519 gotta stay on and watch my kid. You tell me 176 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.879 he's got to do school from home. I can't do 177 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.639 that with my job. So, like, I get all the frustration, 178 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:07.399 but I've just never understood why it feels better to 179 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.720 go either post about it on Facebook or go to 180 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.160 the comments sections for JCPS. Oh yeah, I shouldn't laugh. 181 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.759 But like at times, even whenever like I know that 182 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.879 like they're coming, like they have reason to be like upset, 183 00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:23.600 I still find entertainment in the comments, Like whenever they 184 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.639 couldn't get kids to school in JCPS and it was 185 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.120 a national story because of how big of a disaster 186 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:33.559 the new bus schedule routes system was. I mean I 187 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:35.679 still couldn't stop reading some of the comments. I mean 188 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.039 I shouldn't do that, because you know, these are people 189 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:41.600 that like are justifiably upset and concerned, and their criticism 190 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:44.240 is warranted. But man, I just you know, I've never 191 00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.159 had the instincts to be like, all right, that's it. 192 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.759 I've had it. Open up the Facebook app, I got, 193 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:52.679 I got something to say. But I do feel like 194 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.120 the older here's what I think it is, Austin, because 195 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.840 would you agree that it's not all the older generation. 196 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.039 But I think a lot of like people just posted 197 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.080 like I know, I'm not the only one that's in 198 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.639 the mid thirties or younger that sees an elder of mine, 199 00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:10.240 an aunt, a grandparent, a parent, or just you know 200 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:12.879 somebody you know that is in that age range. And 201 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.279 you see a poster or a comment and you think, man, 202 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.360 not sure why they put that on Facebook? Yeah whatever, 203 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:21.720 like the whole family, Yeah, okay, thank you. So I 204 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:24.159 don't want to act like I know I miss it, 205 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:26.399 like I'm picking on them, but you know, I uh, 206 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:29.639 I know I'm not alone as far as seeing that, 207 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:30.480 so you know, and. 208 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.360 They don't like being alone too. That's why they posted 209 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:34.159 so they could get the four other likes so they 210 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:35.039 can have an agreement. 211 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.960 But as we discussed earlier, kind of like me, I 212 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.519 missed the thrill of waking up knowing its borderline right, 213 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.159 Like it would be great to know, hey, we got 214 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.480 two days off for snow because it's that bad. I mean, 215 00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:50.480 that's great, you'll take it. But the thrill of waking 216 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.159 up knowing it was going to be questionable knowing. And 217 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:54.960 I was a little bit different because in Jefferson County 218 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:56.240 there were a lot of days we got off in 219 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.159 Bullet County, but they didn't. So I knew we had 220 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:02.000 a very small we didn't have the same resources. We 221 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:07.240 had a much a much different you know threshold as 222 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:08.639 far as what would it would it would take to 223 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:13.000 get us out of school? And uh, sure enough, we 224 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.120 got out of school a lot. And I remember waking up, 225 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.559 running to the TV and waiting. 226 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:19.399 For tune into meteorologist John Belski. 227 00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:21.799 Well, wasn't even that like it to mean, if if 228 00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:23.559 if I saw that, it would be great, but like 229 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:25.879 they could be into a commercial, they'd still keep that 230 00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.120 bottom ticker. And I just know that once they got 231 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.000 to like Anderson County and Breckenridge County, uh you know, 232 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:32.799 in that area, Bullet was going to come up sooner 233 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.039 or later. And I knew that if they got to 234 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.120 Carroll County and we didn't get called off, then I 235 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:37.559 had to go to school. And I was a very 236 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:42.159 very sad kid. So anyways, I back to the generation 237 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.480 thing like now people will kids today will never experience that. 238 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:47.639 And earlier somebody was kind of making fun of me 239 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:49.679 for how excited it got me, and I get it, 240 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.080 but hey, whenever I was younger, that's the way that 241 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.000 was the quickest way for us to find out, really 242 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.720 the only way for us to find out if we 243 00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.000 had school or not. So kind of like the older 244 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.399 generation when they go and complain on Facebook about every 245 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:02.519 little thing and they feel like any thought that comes 246 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:04.679 in their mind needs to be a status. You got 247 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.759 to keep in mind these people, they went a long 248 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:10.039 time without having any platform on a social media from 249 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.440 a social media standpoint to share anything, right, Like they 250 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.919 were too old for MySpace. They they got on Facebook 251 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:17.559 once it no longer was a thing that you could 252 00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:19.720 only have access to unless you were a college student 253 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.039 with a dot edu email address. So like it's kind 254 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:25.759 of you know, instead of you know, getting enjoyment and 255 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.440 kind of like wondering, why are they so crazy on Facebook? 256 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:32.679 Like that's just that's they just broke the ice and 257 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.759 this is just this is how they use the platform. 258 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:39.000 You know, everybody's different, different generations, different eras, that kind 259 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:40.840 of stuff. But anyways, when it comes to parents that 260 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.039 you know, really question the decision about should we or 261 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.320 should we not have school? Why do you cancel school. 262 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.639 Now I got to take a day off work that 263 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.159 kind of stuff. This was the kind of snowstorm where 264 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.320 that didn't matter, right, Like you knew, Yeah, it makes 265 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.120 total sense for them to not send the kids to 266 00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.519 school whenever they're closing down interstates for stretch of time. 267 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.240 So at least this time around, you had a little 268 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.200 bit more of a heads up to prepare for whatever 269 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.279 you needed to do with your kids who didn't go 270 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:12.720 to school or I mean, heck, daycare. My son goes 271 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.759 to daycare. He will start kindergarten next year, but he 272 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.320 didn't have daycare yesterday. I just got a notification that 273 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:19.879 they sent some kind of a message on the app. 274 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.320 I would imagine they're probably not going to have daycare 275 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.120 tomorrow either because of how bad the roads are. So again, 276 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:27.879 I know some people hate this kind of stuff because 277 00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:30.480 it incondences them, and I totally get it, but I'm 278 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.159 still kind of a little kid at heart when it 279 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:36.080 comes to snow impacting us. Yes, I still have a 280 00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:38.360 job to do. I'm doing it as we speak, and 281 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.480 you know, my life didn't get better from this, but 282 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.720 like last night, we're all kind of snowed in a 283 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.879 little bit watching watching TV with the family and just 284 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:49.639 looking out the window. And I enjoy this kind of stuff. 285 00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.600 I wish it would have come during Christmas time. I 286 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.240 think that would have been better. But hey, this is 287 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.879 easily the best, or I guess maybe you could say 288 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.519 the worst. This is the most snow that we've had 289 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.720 in quite some time. And you know, I'm enjoying it. 290 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:05.480 But again I understand. I'm sure there's some people that 291 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.480 hate it and they can't wait for it to be over, 292 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.120 and you know, everybody's different. All right, before we dive 293 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:13.960 back in and start talking about this Louisville basketball team 294 00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:16.919 and certainly get into the NFL playoff matchups, there's five 295 00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:20.559 openings currently in the NFL as of five point fifteen 296 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:23.879 here on Black Monday. Also, I think with Kentucky's win 297 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:27.320 against Florida, if the Ohio State loss was one that 298 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.279 you thought maybe knocked him down a peg, I think 299 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:32.600 their win against the Gators is probably a reminder that 300 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.279 Mark Pope's got him a team that can probably beat anybody. 301 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:38.440 And and and you know, i'magine Kentucky fans are pretty 302 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:40.080 happy about that in year one of the Pope era. 303 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:41.919 But let's go to the phone line five X two 304 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.960 five seven one seventy nine hundred is the number if 305 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.080 you want to jump in and give us a call. 306 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.600 Let's go to Brad. Brad, you're on Sports Talk seven ninety. 307 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.759 How are you, hey, Nick? 308 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.039 I hope you should hear me. I'm outside, I'm actually 309 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.840 sitting in my hot looking at this SnO and yeah, 310 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.399 I'm not gonna lie a few bears too. But but 311 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:06.559 I tell you what, you know, talking about the snow 312 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:10.879 days there with your family and all. Uh, we played 313 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:14.279 some games last night. My two sons got you know, 314 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:17.960 gotten to a heat of battle of pictionary. But but 315 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.399 I just wanted to I just wanted to say I 316 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:23.399 got three boys on my own. And I saw that 317 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:28.440 video of Moose scoring his first bucket. Yeah that was all. 318 00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:32.559 It really brought a tear to my eye. I got 319 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:36.600 three boys, Like I said, I got seventeen, soon to 320 00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.840 be sixteen here by next week, and then a ten 321 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:44.960 year old. But just one father to another. Embrace it, 322 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:49.320 just just embrace it. Don't get too shook up. You know, 323 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.960 sometimes things may not go the best for Moose, but 324 00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:57.759 hopefully Old p K keeps an eye on Moose. Took 325 00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:00.559 me a future Cardinalefully. 326 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:02.720 That would be that would be great. And Brad, I 327 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:04.519 appreciate the call man. Always good to hear from. 328 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:04.639 You. 329 00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:06.960 Appreciate you listening, enjoy those beers in the hot tub. 330 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:08.840 No place better to be right now than in a 331 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:11.840 hot tub, listening to coffee and company, throwing back some 332 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.080 pilsners as you know, it's freezing outside. I'm very jealous 333 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.720 of people who have hot tubs. My stepfather and my 334 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:21.720 mother they mind they have one, and they were in 335 00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:23.240 last night and it looked like a lot of fun. 336 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.759 But yeah, Brad mentioned my son Moose. He had his 337 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:31.720 first ever basketball game on Saturday in the It's the 338 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:34.200 four and five year Old League and I think it's 339 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:37.440 Fern Creek Optimist and you know, it's four and five 340 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:40.039 year old basketball. But I do love I was and 341 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:44.759 I really was worried about him playing basketball at this age. 342 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:47.600 You know, the only sport I played was basketball, and 343 00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:48.919 it was a big, big part of my life. And 344 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:53.360 obviously I've I've often thought about if Mason wants to 345 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.879 play basketball, and if he enjoys it, and if he's 346 00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:58.120 good at it, like how special it would be. You know, 347 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.000 if he doesn't, then you know, I'll still love him, 348 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.000 but you know, obviously be great for him to play basketball, 349 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:04.799 and it could be a lot of fun. And he's 350 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:06.799 played baseball before t ball, I should say he played 351 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:08.600 flag football, and it was great to see him out 352 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:11.159 there with basketball. I just didn't really know what to expect, 353 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.600 and I didn't want to, you know, I didn't want 354 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:15.960 to be the guy that was too much on him 355 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.120 at an early age, because I you know, I love 356 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.600 basketball and I played. I'm not somebody that's gonna try 357 00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:22.159 to give him all. It's not really killing me to 358 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:24.279 not be out there coaching him in football and baseball, 359 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.399 but in basketball, he's gonna be hard for me not 360 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:28.240 to be involved. But I tried to just kind of 361 00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:30.120 you know, he's four. I don't want to be too 362 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:31.399 hard on him. I don't want to be too into 363 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:32.720 it to where it feels like work, Like I want 364 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:34.399 him to have fun. And a lot of the basketball 365 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:36.960 leagues that I've seen at that age, I didn't want 366 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:41.679 him to play because it's not basketball and it's unorganized, 367 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:44.159 and he would realize this is not fun, this is 368 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:46.399 just a big joke, Like I want to go home, 369 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:48.799 like this isn't cool. So I didn't want his first 370 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.840 impression to be that. So with this league, I love it. 371 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:54.200 They lower the they have these things that hang from 372 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:57.360 the ten foot rim and it's just another goal that's lower. 373 00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.639 They play with a smaller basketball, and they have these 374 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.480 mats on the court that every player on defense has 375 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.279 to stand on. That way, you can kind of learn 376 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:07.759 how to dribble. You can still get to a path. 377 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:09.880 It's not a complete free for all where everybody's falling. 378 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:11.519 I mean kids are still falling over and at times 379 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:13.279 it does look like a free for all, but you're 380 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.279 required to stay in your spot on defense. And kids 381 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:19.000 can still pass the ball. They can really really get 382 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:21.519 the basics of just passing it. You know a lot 383 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:24.759 of kids don't dribble without walking or double dribbling. Although 384 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:26.759 you know, that was what my dad had to remind 385 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:28.559 me of on Saturday. And by the way, my dad 386 00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:30.640 is his head coach and I'm the assistant. So the 387 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.240 video that Brad was talking about, Moose got his first 388 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.880 bucket and I didn't teach him to run down court 389 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:38.920 like he was Steph Curry and bounce around with some 390 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.559 swagger to his step and the first person to give 391 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:43.039 him a high five after he made it was my 392 00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:45.720 dad who's coaching him, and it was just a really 393 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:49.279 cool moment. And you know, corny for sure, I'm sure 394 00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:51.599 to some, but like I've been, I've been holding it 395 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:53.960 in since since that happened. Like that was an emotional 396 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.160 moment for me. It was really really cool. And I 397 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:57.880 don't know what the future holds for him in sports 398 00:17:57.880 --> 00:17:59.400 at all, but that was just really really cool. So 399 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.119 but with the league, again, I think it's it's it's 400 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:05.920 really it's it's the best way to do it for 401 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.000
