That's me, the company man, 17 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:49.240 the one and only mister John All on the longside 18 00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:51.960 as we take you up until six o'clock. The warm 19 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.719 weather has returned. John. It's actually I mean it's not 20 00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.439 like hot outside, but it was. 21 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.200 Drawing warmer, the windows down type of weather today. 22 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.479 Never been a big windows down guy. Uh shame, and 23 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.359 I've always like wanted to be. But I'm just like, 24 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.680 wait a second, this is too loud, Like I'd rather 25 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.599 have some peace and quiet when driving, but no, doubt 26 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.959 the temperature outside. Conditions outside are perfect for somebody to 27 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.879 just hit the road, windows down and not need to 28 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.280 worry about turning on the AC or the heat or 29 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.280 anything like that. Now, are we gonna get rain for Halloween? 30 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:22.640 Do we know? 31 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.200 I saw ninety chance yesterday, But of course that could change. 32 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:27.719 But that's that's also a shame. 33 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.200 It's not looking good. Yeah, and we've had rain in 34 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.799 like three weeks. I know, we you know, we do 35 00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.480 actually need rain, but not on Halloween because that'd be sad. 36 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:38.879 And I don't really know why or what has led 37 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.519 to this, but I'm telling you the hot, the vibes 38 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.480 for Halloween this year compared to others is just different level. 39 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:47.480 And I don't you know, it's not like I'm dressing up. 40 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:48.959 I don't have a costume or anything like that. I mean, 41 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.280 I'm gonna take the kids trick or treating and we 42 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.840 should have some fun. But I'm hoping for everybody that 43 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.159 we do avoid what could be, you know, a nasty, 44 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.439 nasty Halloween night, especially considering that you as you said, 45 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:01.719 we haven't had it in a long time. If it 46 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.200 shows up in rears its ugly head, as the kids 47 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:06.719 want to get out there and get some candy. That 48 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.960 would be that be that'd be the worst. 49 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.199 Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll be overnight on Halloween. 50 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.560 Yeah, I mean that would be That would be luck 51 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.759 because I mean I mean even if it rains during 52 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.560 the day but not like in the evening, that would 53 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:22.360 still be a little sloppy. But I'll, you know, I'll 54 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.319 take that rather than whenever you get to like whatever 55 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.439 time kids start, which byther what time do kids start? 56 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.639 I think trads on where you live and if there's 57 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.400 like an ordinance on win how long you can be 58 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:33.479 out that type of stuff. 59 00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:38.039 So we have we we host Halloween at our house, 60 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.000 meaning like we have a pretty good neighborhood for it, 61 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.599 and since we moved in a few years ago, it's 62 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.439 just became the spot where like all of our friends 63 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:48.319 and their kids come. So, uh, I'll probably be doing 64 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.159 my show from home Thursday because usually by the time 65 00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:51.639 I would get back, they would have already started and 66 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:53.120 like I wouldn't be able to get in my driveway 67 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:54.800 because we've got you know, and it seems like each 68 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:56.960 year it grows, which I'm looking forward to it, but 69 00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.439 I feel like last time around, like there'd be kids 70 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.159 that would be tree or treating, and it's like five 71 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.280 point thirty. Does that seem early to you? 72 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.159 Yeah, And sometimes I feel like in the past they've 73 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.960 they've pushed up times for when it's okay to start 74 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.599 trigger treating because of things like weather type of stuff. 75 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:14.680 That's true. We did have one year where it was 76 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:16.560 so cold, it was going to be so cold that 77 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.280 it became like a you know, everybody was on the 78 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.000 same page, like, Yeah, if you get kids that show 79 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.120 up after school, don't be alarmed because they may not 80 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.879 be able to get out later. Yeah, when it gets 81 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.560 when it gets super cold. But I don't you know, 82 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.360 I don't have a whole lot of memory, Like I 83 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:33.280 remember tricker treating, but I don't remember what time of 84 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.000 day we started when it ended, Like I don't know. 85 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.599 Maybe they feel like my neighborhood back across the river, 86 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:41.039 Indiana had no rules. I feel like we were out super 87 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.240 late as a kid, And again that's probably not the case. 88 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.000 It's just the way that I perceived it whenever I 89 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:45.800 went through Halloween. 90 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:47.639 So when you say no rules, you mean like. 91 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.400 Like there was it was super late all the time. 92 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.400 It was always really dark. 93 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.879 But rules. Aren't rules based off like with the parents 94 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.159 decide like you'd have to be out way late for 95 00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.719 like somebody within your community. Rather it be like a 96 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.360 trollman that works for the police department, Like you'd have 97 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:03.840 to be out like way late for something like that 98 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:04.240 to happen. 99 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.120 I mean, maybe I do feel like I've seen that 100 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.800 you were trick or treating by ten o'clock or ten 101 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:11.080 thirty or something like that. 102 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.560 And I think what makes I mean, in all honesty, 103 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.959 what makes a neighborhood a good neighborhood for tricker treating? 104 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.759 I guess it's all based off of each individual person's 105 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.000 preference and whatnot. But if if you have, how you know, 106 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.959 a neighborhood that's you know, kind of you know, all 107 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.959 of the roads within the neighborhood are not like busy 108 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.000 busy streets, and you have a sidewalk. And most importantly, 109 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.160 the most important factor when I when I when it 110 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.600 comes to is your area good for trigger treating is 111 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:40.639 do the people who live there put out candy? Like 112 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:41.959 are they are they into it? Are they going to 113 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:43.920 open the door? Because you know, there's a lot of 114 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.240 people that don't and I don't, you don't really blame them. 115 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.240 But if there's enough, if there's enough people out there 116 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.560 that don't have kids, that don't care about giving out candy, 117 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:52.240 and they're just like, yeah, I'm gonna leave the house 118 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:53.680 for the night so I don't have to answer the door, 119 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:55.720 or I'm just gonna, you know, keep the lights off 120 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.279 so people can can get the get the message that 121 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.680 I'm not doing candy. If there's enough of those, they 122 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.079 may be great people. But like that makes it to 123 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.439 where it's tough. So we found a good balance where 124 00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.399 we are, and it should be a lot of fun. 125 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.279 But do you remember what age you were when you 126 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:11.319 stopped trick or treating. 127 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:13.680 I feel like it might have been right at the 128 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.759 end of middle school, whatever age that. 129 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.600 Is, because I don't remember when I stopped trick or treating, 130 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:23.360 but I remember I stopped thinking like dressing up was 131 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.319 cool at some point, and it was probably around the 132 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.199 time when I was in like sixth grade or something, 133 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:29.360 and I didn't want to dress up because you know, 134 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.240 I was a big kid. I'm not a little kid. 135 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.600 I don't have to get a costume. And I remember 136 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.639 knowing like just going house to house with a bag, 137 00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:38.720 not dressed up like I got some looks to where 138 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:39.959 I'm like, all right, well, I guess this is it 139 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.199 for me because I don't want to dress up anymore. 140 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.199 And obviously there's people who don't want to give me candy, 141 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.360 and some wouldn't give me candy because I wasn't dressed up. 142 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.519 Oh man, Yeah, I mean I don't really remember them 143 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.240 like being mean or anything, but I remember walking around 144 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.600 not dressed up. Well, all the other kids my age 145 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.199 and younger were, and I kind of knew I was 146 00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.120 being like a jerk. I mean, I wasn't being rude 147 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.160 or anything, but like if you don't dress up and 148 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.199 you go to a house and they give you a 149 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.319 little you know, they give you a little crap for 150 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.240 not dressing up, or they just decide to not give 151 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.279 you candy. Like, I guess, you can't say you're surprised, 152 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.680 especially if you look I mean, you have a better 153 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.759 chance of looking like you're within age of trick or 154 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.279 treating if you're dressed up. If you're dressed up like 155 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.839 you just came from school and you're twelve thirteen years old, 156 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.720 I mean, you're probably gonna be okay, but like you know, 157 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:27.439 it might look like, yeah, this kid doesn't even a 158 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.160 costume why they want candy. But there is a study 159 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:35.800 here that is from this is a breakdown of the 160 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.920 age Americans think kids should stop trick or treating. And 161 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.120 there is a study that was done. I guess a survey, 162 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.759 I should say, from fairly Dicketson University. On average, people 163 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:50.160 say kids should stop when they're thirteen. Actually it came 164 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:52.839 out to exactly thirteen and a half, So I guess 165 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:53.720 that means. 166 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:55.759 That's right on the edge of school high school. 167 00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:01.800 If you're thirteen and your fourteenth birthday is is further away, 168 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:07.319 like if you're if you're freshly thirteen, I guess you 169 00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:10.720 know you're in the clear. If you are thirteen and 170 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.839 that fourteenth birthday is, you know, within less than six months, 171 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.279 maybe then people would side on hey, that's too old. 172 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.120 But says a quarter of Americans think kids should get 173 00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:21.319 trigger ta should get to trick or treat as long 174 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:23.879 as they want to. Well, three percent are against it 175 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.639 at any age. It says here that the survey from 176 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.639 fairly degencin University, they built a quarter of the respondents 177 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:33.720 think kids should keep keep it up for as long 178 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.240 as they want to. Older Americans are more likely to 179 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.199 say kiddos should quit at age eleven or twelve. Why 180 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.079 Younger Americans are more likely to say kids of any 181 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.360 age who want a trick or treat should so. 182 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.079 When they say kids of any age, that just means 183 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:47.279 once you hit eighteen. 184 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:52.120 I guess, I guess, I mean, I mean that seems 185 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:52.680 a little odd. 186 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.399 But I don't know anybody who trick or treated once 187 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:56.680 they were in high school. 188 00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:02.839 Me either, me either. Fact I remember there and this 189 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.040 still happens, I'm sure, But like there's kids who just 190 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.639 end up in neighborhoods they're not from. And maybe it 191 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.079 isn't teenagers, it's just older kids that maybe I don't know, 192 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:12.319 twelve thirteen or something like that, that'll you know, like 193 00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.240 still kids candies like that. I'm sure that's a rare thing, 194 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:17.199 but it does still happen, which just makes me want to, 195 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.519 you know, give that kid a talking to and you know, 196 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:22.199 call their parents on them, because that's not you know, 197 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.720 that's now where I'm at in life, Like I ought 198 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.839 to call your mom and tell her how how how 199 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.279 you're behaving Like that's that's That's where I'm at right now, 200 00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:32.279 which again, you know, life goes. Life goes fast. It's 201 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.799 crazy that that's that that's where I'm at. Also, since 202 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.200 we're here and i'm I probably would have remembered to 203 00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:42.279 bring it up before we got to Thursday, But I 204 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.399 don't know. I forget a lot of things. I can 205 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.039 never keep this show on track when it comes to 206 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:47.799 the clock. We all know that. So since it's on 207 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:49.240 my mind and we're talking about it, I'll go ahead 208 00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:52.559 and mention it. If you are at your home and 209 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.360 you open the door because somebody is there and they 210 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.600 are trigger treating, and maybe they don't say happy Halloween 211 00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:01.960 or trigger treat keep in mind they may be nonverbal, 212 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.399 they may be somebody with autism, they may be somebody 213 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:08.279 who is intellectually disabled like my daughter, and you know, 214 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:11.840 just keep that in mind. Like I'll there was one moment, 215 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.080 and it's probably like one of my it's the memory 216 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.879 that stands out to me more than anything throughout my 217 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:21.039 years as a parent with kids that trigger treats. There 218 00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:23.039 was an old woman who lived in our old neighborhood 219 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:27.000 and she was she was grumpy anyways, and my daughter, 220 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.279 you know, at the time, didn't speak at all, and 221 00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:32.080 she wouldn't give her any candy until she she was 222 00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.759 like nope, nope, nope, you got what do you say? 223 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:39.759 What do you say? And my wife like almost I 224 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.960 think choked her to death. I mean she didn't actually 225 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.000 make a scene, but like you know, if you've got 226 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.759 a significant other you've been with for a long time, 227 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.360 you can see signs that nobody else can see. I 228 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:53.200 would assume as far as like what's what's potentially about 229 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:57.720 to happen, what's going on, you know mentally, And I 230 00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:59.759 thought she was going to kill the woman, and instead 231 00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:03.879 she because she's she's a cool customer. She gathered herself 232 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.279 and said, you know, she's she's nonverbal, and you know, 233 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.639 made that woman feel probably two inches tall, and look, 234 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.039 is it sad that I felt satisfaction for that woman 235 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.960 feeling terrible? Yeah, but you know you got to learn 236 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.399 at some point. And I'm sure she's probably felt bad 237 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.200 about it since, and I'm sure she's probably told other 238 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:24.720 people to keep in mind, like hey, don't think every 239 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:27.759 kid that's there, or you know, there's certain costumes and 240 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.759 this is one of my daughter's costumes one year where 241 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.000 I can think of what it was, but it came 242 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.000 with you might've been she was like a little elephant, 243 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:37.879 and it came with something that you would put on 244 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.480 her head, but it really bothered her just because of 245 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.279 like sensory stuff. So she didn't wear the hat. She 246 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.159 had it kind of like, you know, on her side. 247 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.720 And people were making comments about that. And it's usually 248 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:51.080 old old farts that don't mean any harm, but like 249 00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:54.039 they also just don't I mean, they don't have any 250 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:55.720 awareness of that kind of stuff. So hey, we got 251 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.360 to I mean, if I don't advocate for my kids, 252 00:10:58.399 --> 00:10:59.879 you know, how could I ask anybody else to, you 253 00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:01.799 know what I mean? Like, so just keep that stuff 254 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.799 in mind. As we are just now two days away 255 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:09.320 from from Halloween and again fingers crossed hopefully hopefully there's 256 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.240 no rain, but it doesn't look good right now. All right, 257 00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:13.879 no guest schedule to join us today, So if you 258 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:19.759 guys want to react to anything, I mean, let's keep it, 259 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.480 you know, within within the guardrails here of what we 260 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.159 typically do on this show. And I don't mean we 261 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.679 got to keep it super serious, nothing but sports, but 262 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.960 like we are really close to an election and if 263 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:30.720 I just say, hey, call in if you want to react, 264 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.200 Like maybe people want to start talking politics and that's 265 00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.039 that's not what we want to do here. So again 266 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.039 we're pretty leaning as far as which direction you can 267 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:39.519 go when you give us a call. So five oh 268 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:42.240 two five nine hundred is the number. Again, that's the 269 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:43.600 phone lines. If you want to text in, it's the 270 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.120 L and N Federal Credit Union text line five O 271 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.559 two six five three zero seven ninety. If you want 272 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.480 to get involved on the show that way. Questions, complaints, compliments, insults, 273 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.080 whatever you've got, feel free to send them our way. 274 00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:57.080 And I will go ahead and tell you I don't 275 00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:00.000 have a whole lot to add other than what was 276 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:06.519 said last night in the postgame show, because to say 277 00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:11.200 that last night was a wasted time is mean, unnecessary 278 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:15.360 and just you know, sounds like I'm being a jerk. 279 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.559 But if you know somebody came up and said, man, 280 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:19.919 that felt like a waste of time, I would say 281 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:24.000 I wholeheartedly agree. Now the positives from last night, you 282 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:27.879 beat an exhibition opponent like you're supposed to. I mean, 283 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.360 you didn't beat him as bad as you beat young Harris, 284 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:35.279 and you didn't beat Spalding as bad as h Did 285 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.639 you see what happened in the Michigan State exhibition game 286 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.120 last night. The score in the Michigan State exhibition game 287 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.159 last day, Michigan State was up fifty eight to five 288 00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:45.080 at half against Wayne State. Is Wayne a person? Did 289 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:47.600 Wayne go one on five? Is that how that happened? 290 00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:48.120 Five? 291 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.679 Fifty eight to five at halftime? So again, yeah, you'll 292 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:54.879 find other exhibition games that are uglier than the one 293 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.120 that Louisville played. And yes, I know that Spaulding as 294 00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:59.399 a Division three team, but you won ninety nine to 295 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:02.960 fifty four. And I just can't if I tried, and 296 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:04.480 I wouldn't want to try, but if I did try, 297 00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.000 I would be unable to make you, guys believe that 298 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:10.360 I have any strong thoughts about this team following what 299 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:13.360 that was last night. So the fans that did go 300 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:15.440 got a chance to see this team in person, maybe 301 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.039 it was their first time, So that's a positive. You 302 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.480 won big. You were able to really see that you 303 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.360 have depth. Right, Guys who were pretty pretty big time 304 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.080 for you when it comes to scoring in your first 305 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.120 exhibition game had quiet nights. That's chucky Hepburn and Terrence Edwards. 306 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.120 But that was okay because you ended up getting big, 307 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:36.320 big contributions from the guys off the bench. Case in 308 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:40.480 prior Corn Johnson. So you know, there are some things 309 00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:42.799 you can point to and say, Okay, yeah, that was encouraging, 310 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.039 that was nice to see. And hey, anytime we get 311 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.639 a chance to see this new team, this new program 312 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.720 led by Pat Kelsey, I mean, that's a reminder that 313 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.039 we're not stuck with Kenny Pain anymore. So, like again, 314 00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:55.919 you can find some things that you would say, Okay, 315 00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:02.559 we're beneficial to the overall situation last night. But I mean, 316 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:04.840 I just can't tell you that I really learned a 317 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:06.600 lot and I didn't. I don't really have that any 318 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:12.200 takeaways because you know, I found myself looking at not 319 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.200 only the numbers here as I'm looking at the box score, 320 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.120 but like, just to give you an example, they came 321 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.440 out of the half, they were up at halftime, what 322 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.919 was a score? They were up a lot at half. 323 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.840 Let's see, they were up fifty three to twenty one 324 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:27.080 at the half. And they came out in the second 325 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.399 half and they had two straight unforced turnovers where they 326 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.360 stepped out of bounds in the same exact spot on 327 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:36.080 two straight possessions two different players, and Spalding got five 328 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:37.919 quick points right they hit a three right out of 329 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.519 the gate. They had a bucket on the other end 330 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:42.240 after that, so you know, quick five oh run for Spaulding. 331 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.639 Two unforced turnovers, and I found myself thinking, well, that's 332 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:46.960 pretty sloppy. You got to clean it up. But like, 333 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.799 these are games that I'm telling you you don't learn 334 00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:53.039 really anything from and you can even in the moment, 335 00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.879 think you are. You can even a week later think 336 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.559 that you are. But go back to those X. I mean, 337 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.879 they're nothibition games. They were real games. Like when Louisville 338 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:06.080 played Jacksonville State and Austin p and football to start 339 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:09.759 this season, what were those games? A waste of time? 340 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:11.879 I mean there were two home games that were lightly 341 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.600 attended because of the opponent. It didn't get Louisville ready 342 00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:17.399 for better competition. I mean, I don't think it hurt them, 343 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:19.279 but like it was a waste of time, Like we 344 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:22.399 didn't learn anything about Louisville. And I think you can 345 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.399 see some things and really it can lie. You can 346 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.600 be lied to with these types of games. So again 347 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:30.399 I'm not trying to reign on anybody's parade. Louisville one 348 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.639 ninety nine to fifty four and look pretty good doing it. 349 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:36.240 Again a balanced scoring attack. Like, I don't feel any 350 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:42.519 different about this Louisville team today than I did before 351 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.240 I watched either of these exhibition games. And that's not 352 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:50.879 to say that I you know that, I've you known 353 00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.720 that everything I saw confirms where I was. It's not. 354 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.759 But I'm just telling you. Even if there was a like, 355 00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.440 let's say they won these things they want both these 356 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.240 games by seventy points each, or let's say they were, 357 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.600 you know, closer than we would have expected, that would 358 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:08.480 have been a little bit more of a tell, I suppose. 359 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:11.759 But let's say instead of winning these games by forty 360 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:15.879 and fifty roughly, they won them by twenty. That would 361 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:18.320 probably be a little bit of a head scratcher. But again, like, 362 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.759 you don't truly learn a lot here, and we don't 363 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:24.200 need to make it a big part of the show 364 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:26.639 today because who would want to do that. That wouldn't be fun. 365 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.080 But you could take these games away in the only 366 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.039 the only component that would be bummed about it is 367 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:35.960 these schools that get a chance to come and play 368 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:39.960 programs like Louisville and collect a pretty profitable check for 369 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.559 a program like they are. I mean that they would 370 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:44.200 miss that but like other than that, like we don't 371 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:49.000 need these games, and you know, if you feel a 372 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.399 certain way after watching these two exhibitions, then good for you, 373 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:55.600 like in all honesty, like I mean that, like maybe 374 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.080 you didn't watch any of them in exhibition, Maybe you 375 00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:00.279 didn't watch any of the exhibitions in the Bahamas. Maybe 376 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:02.600 you didn't really have a good grasp of the roster 377 00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.160 overall because you really hadn't been paying close attention. So 378 00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:07.599 in that case, then yeah, it was beneficial for you 379 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:09.279 to watch and just kind of learn who's on the 380 00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.359 team because it's all brand new. So I guess that 381 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:13.880 could be something that you benefited from having these games. 382 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.559 But you know, I think Pat Kelsey's gonna be able 383 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.279 to show these guys some stuff on film to just 384 00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:22.279 kind of, you know, give them the visual. Yeah, you 385 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:24.680 didn't do what you were supposed to hear, this is 386 00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:27.720 a careless turnover. How did they get an offensive rebound? 387 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:30.039 Those kind of things. But I wouldn't be shocked at 388 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.319 even he doesn't do much of a deep dive with 389 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.599 film in these two exhibition games, because again, like it's 390 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:38.319 just a different world than what you're going to be 391 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:44.640 going up against moving forward. And look, Morehead State. They're 392 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.000 pretty good for who they are, right, they made the 393 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.799 tournament last year, they did go through a coaching change, 394 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.200 and like a lot of schools, they've got a bunch 395 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.240 of new players because of the portal. But I mean 396 00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:58.920 it when I say it, like Morehead State is a 397 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:01.599 billion times better than the two teams you just played, 398 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.200 and we all know that. So like I could look 399 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:08.359 at okay, wow, if Spalding was able to you know, 400 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:12.559 keep it within eight after the first TV timeout, geez, 401 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:14.559
