I'm coming to you from my 22 00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.600 cave in the basement. Austin he made his way in. 23 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.000 Not a lot of people working today, I feel like 24 00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:04.439 in general, but you couldn't keep Austin out of there. 25 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.239 N we probably could have been kind and maybe you 26 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.239 know giving you. So let me let me start with this. Yeah, 27 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:11.680 I'm gonna look one thing you know about me, I'm 28 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:13.560 gonna look out for my guys. Am I not, that's right, 29 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.439 of course, you're a guy looker outer. Did you get 30 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.519 offered a chance to stay in a hotel? 31 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:19.040 Yes? 32 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.239 I did, Okay, I just needed to know. 33 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.760 No, it sounds intriguing because who doesn't like a night 34 00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:28.359 at a hotel? Right? But I literally live like six 35 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.319 seven minutes away and it just someone could just like 36 00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:35.079 just drive straight down Market Street for six minutes and 37 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:36.920 I should be fine. There's no need for a hotel, 38 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:37.599 all right. 39 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.840 I was kind of worried that maybe you weren't offered 40 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.519 the arrangements, the accommodations that the legendary other folks. 41 00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.680 Yeah, oh yeah, they they got the Tony Vannetti. They 42 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.799 were doing it too. Also, did get offered super reimbursement? 43 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.400 Sonetti got offered. 44 00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.040 I'm pretty sure Vannettie hung out last night with Shannon 45 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:00.879 the Dude and a couple other people down here. That's 46 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.040 what they're talking about on the idea. 47 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:04.640 And I don't know if it's because they just assumed, Yeah, 48 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.159 I think I was. Yeah, no, I didn't get offer 49 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.000 the hotel because they knew I have remote equipment and 50 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.479 I do my show remotely. That's right anyway, so it 51 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:12.199 makes total sense. 52 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.960 They offered me Uber reimbursement though, so I got to 53 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.039 get an uber and uh it's and apparently I couldn't 54 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.639 be getting reimbursed a lot of things. There's apparently a 55 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.879 process to do that, and I don't know how. I've 56 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:23.759 never never done it. 57 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:25.879 Yeah, I had to go through it with some travel 58 00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.479 Uh some years back, you know, like long ago when 59 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.599 they did actually you know, look out for Yeah, that 60 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.520 doesn't happen anymore. Although they will let me use the 61 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:35.840 company vehicle to go somewhere if I can like tie 62 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.599 into it's part for the show or whatnot. Right, Yeah, 63 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.120 you know, anything we can get around here, right. 64 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.520 Yeah, anything we can, any if we we can eat 65 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.840 they I'll just yes, anything we can. 66 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.039 I don't know what direction you were going, but you're right, 67 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:51.840 anything we can get our I mean, that's why we don't. 68 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.120 We don't do this for the money. We do. We 69 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.439 do have probably some very prestigious salaries compared to some 70 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.439 I hope you can sarcasm there, but we just do 71 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.759 it because we went free stuff. Yeah, there are some 72 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.280 occasional perks that come with this. So one of those 73 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.080 is that I can sit here in my home and 74 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:07.479 be warm and do the show and not have to 75 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.039 get out in this weather. And I will say, hotel 76 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:11.800 funds are always kind of kind of nice. I wouldn't 77 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:13.400 have wanted to do it last night. But if I 78 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.400 had to choose, can I occasionally get put up in 79 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.439 a room? Or can I keep remote equipment at home 80 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.159 to where I can conveniently broadcast, you know, whenever I 81 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.719 want that, I would take the ladder. So anyhow, look 82 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.520 we're gonna we're gonna get into it today because there's 83 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:27.960 a lot to get into and I mean a whole lot. 84 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.280 Great weekend for both college basketball programs around here, Louisville 85 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.240 and Kentucky. The NFL regular season has come to an end, 86 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.199 well pretty much come to an end, and we've got 87 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.080 the playoffs, the playoff matchups all set up. So, I mean, 88 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:43.120 I don't know how much it's going to be a 89 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:44.560 topic today. I kind of feel like I want to 90 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.680 address it once the dust settles, But man, it has 91 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.199 continuously been busy for Jeff Bram and his team when 92 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.080 it comes to the transfer portal. Every time I refresh Twitter, 93 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.639 every time I look up, I feel like they're getting 94 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:57.639 somebody committed to them in the portal. So there's a 95 00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:59.639 lot we will get to. But I will say to 96 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.759 kind of, you know, talk about the obvious, the snowstorm 97 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:05.800 that hit this region in a way that you know, 98 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.120 I certainly wasn't expecting whenever they're right, they're right. I mean, 99 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.639 I'll be honest, I did not expect us to get 100 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.560 anything close to what was being thrown out there as 101 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.920 far as the amount of snow. Like I thought we'd 102 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:21.680 get something. I thought it would be cold, But like 103 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.920 I we haven't had. We haven't had this kind of 104 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:26.839 girth when it comes to snow. 105 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.480 That's right, Well speak for yourself, yeah, of the snow. 106 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:35.120 Yeah yeah. So this is without question the most snow 107 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.079 and the most that this area has been impacted by 108 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.959 this kind of weather. I feel like in many, many years. 109 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.240 I mean, I guess in order to know if we've 110 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.439 been impacted at the same rate we were back in 111 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:49.199 I don't know, nineteen eighty four or whatnot, I don't 112 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.480 know how you'd be able to measure that. But a 113 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.040 lot of schools around here are closed, and they closed 114 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.680 for just for two days, and I haven't looked to 115 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.000 see if what they're talking about Friday is anything closed 116 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.079 to what just happened. But not only did we end 117 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.199 up getting I think you know the amount of snow, 118 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:08.480 the inches that you know a lot of times people 119 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.319 exaggerate the inches. Well that I'm not one to. 120 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.160 Do it, but I know a lot of yes, depends 121 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:15.399 on what you count the base at. 122 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.680 Exactly, yeah, exactly, and it counts. So nonetheless, they not 123 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.600 only did they get it right when it comes to that, 124 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.279 it played out almost exactly the way I expected. And 125 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.000 I guess maybe this is something to keep an eye 126 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:31.199 on if you're trying to if you're trying to figure 127 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.439 out which of the local meteorologists, or maybe it's not 128 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.319 even local, maybe it's just somebody on the weather channel, 129 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:36.879 I don't know, and you're trying to figure out which 130 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.800 one you can trust the most. I would say, if 131 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.240 they're all kind of on the same exact page, then 132 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.360 I would say, then then that's probably a good sign 133 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:46.759 that it's going to be accurate when it comes to 134 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.800 the forecast. I mean, I'm sure there's been times where 135 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.519 they all were on the same page exactly and it 136 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.120 was the exact opposite that happens. But I feel like 137 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:56.879 the only difference I saw was there were and I'm 138 00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.319 not going to mention any names because I know it's 139 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.160 a very sensitive industry that is, you know, meteorology, whether 140 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.399 the weather men and women. And I say that understanding that, 141 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:06.319 like we have maybe the most vain jobs out there. 142 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.120 We work in radio, right, we want a platform to 143 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.519 yell and and you know, show ourselves. What we do 144 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.439 is behind closed doors. People can't see what we look like, 145 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:16.040 so don't take it as an insult. But the only 146 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.040 difference I saw, and it was slight difference, was just 147 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.360 maybe the regions and where in which it was gonna 148 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:22.959 be the heaviest, Like some were saying that south central 149 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.879 Kentucky wouldn't be impacted all that much. And I think they, 150 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.600 you know, Austin, you're a wrestling guy, like I think 151 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.360 they always kind of they want to slight what do 152 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.040 you call it when you want to you slightly? You know, 153 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:36.639 I guess in wrestling you can't really do it. So 154 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:38.839 maybe I'm making a bad analogy here, but like they'll 155 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:40.680 throw little barbs at each other to where it's not 156 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.560 like they're, you know, calling out each other by name, 157 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:47.000 but they'll know, Hey, this guy over here, Jude Redfield 158 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.839 on on w d RB, who I love you, Jude. 159 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:53.079 You know he's saying that there's gonna be actual snow 160 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:54.920 in south central Kentucky. Well, I'm here to tell you, 161 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.480 j Cardosi a wlkyh. He's a bomb and he's wrong. 162 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.639 Like they're not gonna go They're not gonna go full heat, 163 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:01.720 which would be hilarious. 164 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.839 I mean that we'd call it getting call it getting heat, right, 165 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:05.600 that's what you're saying. 166 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:07.959 It's like Anchorman, Yeah, but with weather, you know, with 167 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.600 the weather guts. But nonetheless, that was only difference I saw. 168 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.639 Was there there were some making some slight changes as 169 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.399 far as what they thought would happen in a certain region, 170 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.399 But overall everybody seemed to be on the same page 171 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:20.879 and they got it right. And I know there was 172 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.639 there's probably many many people that wanted them to be 173 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.800 completely wrong, not only so you could maybe I don't know, 174 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.680 make fun of them and their industry, or maybe you 175 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.560 didn't want it because you hate this weather and you're 176 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.160 somebody that no matter what you're gonna have to work, 177 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.240 and maybe you have to work more because of the 178 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:40.360 type of work that you do. I mean, maybe it's 179 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:42.160 more so needed when you have weather like this. I'm 180 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:43.360 sure there are a lot of people that hate this 181 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:45.560 kind of stuff, and I get it because it is inconveniencing. 182 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:48.879 We were able to get my kids out of the house, 183 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:51.079 which was very, very beneficial for me. 184 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:51.480 Good. 185 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:53.439 I mean, we didn't get anybody to take them. I 186 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:55.439 just threw them out in the snow and you know, 187 00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:58.360 hopefully they can survive out there. Well. I do the 188 00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.160 radio show because I I mean, I love my children. 189 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.560 Come back when the when the when the street lights 190 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:04.800 come on? 191 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:07.279 Yeah, come yeah, come back later. I didn't really do that, 192 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:08.879 by the way. You never know if people might take 193 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.680 you serious. My kids are safe, but we got them. 194 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.360 We got them situated to go to their to their 195 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.560 to their grandma's. So, you know, that was a big 196 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.160 game changer for me because I you know, I know 197 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:21.839 I'm not the only person. I always feel bad when 198 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:23.439 I say that, because you know, I'm a parent and 199 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.839 people are probably maybe thinking this guy's a real a hole. 200 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.240 He should he should cherish every second he gets with 201 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.959 his kid. Uh. Well, you know, I know I'm not 202 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.120 Maybe I am the bad guy here, but I know 203 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:34.279 I'm not the only one. And I know there are 204 00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:36.240 people listening right now that totally agree. What are the 205 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.840 things that, uh that that sucks about having schools closed 206 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.799 and work from home or whatever it may be, where 207 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.440 everybody's at home. Your kids can one drive you crazy, 208 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.759 and sometimes you know you got to do stuff you can't. 209 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:48.279 You know, you don't get the day off of school, 210 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.440 you don't get the day off of daycare. So you 211 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.720 know it, when it comes down to it, uh, I 212 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.960 love snow days like this. I mean again, I went 213 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:58.399 on a little bit of a of a to the 214 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.279 left turn there and just got back to where I 215 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.679 was going. But when it comes down to being able 216 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:05.960 to kind of be you know, tucked away, I like it. 217 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:07.720 Other than I did think I was gonna lose my 218 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:09.759 mind on my children. But other than that, I kind 219 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.679 of feel like, you know, maybe it's because I'm fortunate 220 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.159 to be able to work from home like this, but 221 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.039 I kind of feel like this is the first time 222 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.840 around here in a long time where and I know 223 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.799 not everybody, but a good chunk of the region, we're 224 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:23.759 all just kind of snuggled up, staying warm and looking 225 00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.240 outside at the beautiful snow that we got, and it's 226 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.360 kind of nice. It's not quite like the snow days 227 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:30.519 that you got when you were when you were a kid, which, 228 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:31.919 by the way, I'm sorry, Austin, you didn't get a 229 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.519 chance to experience though she grew up in Arizona. No 230 00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.159 way you had a snow day right in Arizona. 231 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:42.080 No way there is about. Sorry. There was someone that called, 232 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.799 but then they just hung up. Sorry, So I just 233 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.200 can always call if you want to. But I remember 234 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:51.559 distinctly about two or three different snow days in Arizona, 235 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.240 in Arizona, and how two of them being like on 236 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.000 Easter around Easter time, and one actually being during I 237 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.080 remember the football season. I'm pretty sure it was the 238 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.279 night where I think it was the AFC Championship game 239 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:06.720 the Colts and the Patriots, and the Colts made a 240 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.200 good comeback and that so sent them to the Super Bowl. 241 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.039 And uh, I remember raining on that night. The snow 242 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:15.159 was gone melted by like the very next day at 243 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:17.240 sures are we talking here in this it was like 244 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:21.720 thirty degrees like probably right at the freezing rain or Arizona. Right, Yeah, 245 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.440 it's it's it's when it gets that, when it gets 246 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.399 that cold, it's two jacket wearing weather, as I call it, 247 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.000 and that's pretty bad. But I remember they canceled or 248 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:32.440 they called school off or said that school was delayed 249 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:34.919 until twelve if you want to come in, because come on, guys, 250 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.240 where Arizona. Let us let us have fun in the snow. 251 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.919 Well, So, like I think, you know, I'm sure every 252 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.639 region has a reputation as far as how they deal 253 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.600 with whether they don't often get we I feel and 254 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.200 maybe it's just because, man, there were such great memories 255 00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:50.720 when I was a kid, But I feel like growing 256 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.159 up in this area, there was a lot more snow 257 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:55.120 like it was pretty common. 258 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.000 When I visited a lot. That's what it felt like 259 00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:58.679 to It always felt like when I came back it 260 00:10:58.759 --> 00:10:59.240 was snowing. 261 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:01.879 Like now, I think you can count on one hand 262 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:04.720 each winter the last few years where we've actually gotten 263 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.080 snow where you can look outside and see that it snowed. 264 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.360 It wasn't just like you know, a dusting or whatnot. 265 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:11.960 But I feel like when I was younger, even when 266 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.840 we didn't get snow days which we got plenty of them. 267 00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:16.159 We still had, Like I just feel like once a 268 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.480 week there'd be snow, Like I just remember there always 269 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.879 being snow on the ground or there being some kind 270 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.600 of snowy weather that impacted us when I was a kid. 271 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:25.399 I'm sure it's just because again those things were fun 272 00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:30.480 to me. But you know, this seems like the biggest 273 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:32.559 that it's got, for this seems like the most impact 274 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:33.799 that we've been in a while around here. But what 275 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:35.159 I was getting at when it comes to the regions, 276 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.279 like whenever right now, I would say we're probably to 277 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.639 the neighbor. Our neighbors to the north probably look at 278 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:43.360 us as whimps because you know, they get way more 279 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.679 snow and like, you know, a couple couple of feet 280 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:49.639 into much for them. I mean that's probably an exaggeration, 281 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:51.240 but still like they're used to it and they think 282 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.159 we're soft because maybe we can't drive when we get 283 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:56.879 something like this, Well Arizona opposite, like we may we 284 00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:59.600 in Kentucky may look at what you guys do and 285 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.279 how you bundle up and how you drive for like 286 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.279 you know, some sleet and think like you guys can't 287 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:06.840 handle it. So it's all it's all based off of 288 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:09.759 I mean again, there's also a reason as to why, 289 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.159 like the cities to the north and in the Midwest 290 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:14.919 are are much more equipped to handle it, even the 291 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:16.919 cities than on its biggest Leuisvell. It's because, you know what, 292 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:18.559 they have a lot more resources. There's a lot more 293 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.000 people that work for you know, for the government that's 294 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.080 out there taking care of roads and those kind of things. 295 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:25.960 And by the way, those people are super important. And 296 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:27.960 I'm sure you don't think about them often, but days 297 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.279 like today and yesterday and even tomorrow, I'm sure we 298 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.039 appreciate them out there because even when the roads aren't great, man, 299 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:35.519 think about how bad they'd be if we didn't have 300 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:36.279 anybody out there. 301 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:39.240 There's a guy that lives like right on my block. 302 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.759 I'm pretty sure, here's the neighbor right behind me. But 303 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:44.600 he drives a company truck. And what I've just now 304 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.039 noticed this year, and maybe is because the first time 305 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:50.480 they projected like a huge snow slash ice storm like this, 306 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.559 but I noticed Saturday, right before everything like got pretty nasty, 307 00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.840 he had a snow plow on the front of his 308 00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:59.480 truck and on the back of it he had like 309 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.759 a whole thing full of ice or full of salt. 310 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:04.120 So I'm like, all right, let's go. This guy's looking 311 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:04.639 out for us. 312 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.279 It's just being a good member of the community. 313 00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:07.919 But I don't think. I don't think he got our 314 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:10.639 block at all. Does not look good. I don't know 315 00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:12.720 if he forgot about us or forgot to turn on 316 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.559 the switch. Why was driving off the work forgot you? Yeah, 317 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:17.440 he must have forgot it. I thought that we were set. 318 00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:21.399 I looked at Sidney, right, we're good, We're good and no, 319 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:23.480 so I mean not that I'm mad at you or anything. 320 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.600 He just kind of he zigged and we zagged. 321 00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:28.039 Yeah, I will say this. We're gonna get to sports 322 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:29.440 in a moment, I promised. But before we get to 323 00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:30.840 our first break, here, just a couple more things I 324 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:32.600 wanted through out there, because I've my wife and I 325 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.919 got into not an argument, but you know, she she 326 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.879 feels a certain way and I think she's wrong. And 327 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:40.799 what do I do. I'm a child. I take it 328 00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:43.679 to my radio show and try to get my listeners 329 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:45.840 to convince me that I'm right and my wife's wrong. 330 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.840 That's what any man would do. But she we were 331 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:51.000 out yesterday, so we woke up last night or woke 332 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:52.799 up yesterday morning, and sure enough, we woke up and 333 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:54.440 it was already it was already a good amount of 334 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.000 snow on the ground and it really never stopped. So 335 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:57.600 we took the kids out did a little sledding in 336 00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:00.279 the driveway. This is where, you know, there's no nothing 337 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:02.240 good other than one thing about having the hill in 338 00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:04.600 my in my driveway. I have a huge steep hill 339 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:08.159 and it sucks really in every way, but yesterday we 340 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:10.120 got to use it to sled and it was perfect. 341 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.399 So there's again that's the only good thing that that 342 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:13.919 comes with it. So we had we had a good 343 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.360 time out there. And my wife she was out there 344 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:20.840 just snow, you know, you shoveling snow, not to completely 345 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.519 clear our driveway, but just to you know, kind of 346 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:26.759 keep it, you know, to where it's not as bad 347 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:28.759 as we we you know, the grass and what and 348 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:30.480 that kind of thing as far as the accumulation. So 349 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:32.960 it wasn't as if she got it completely clear, but 350 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.399 she was about halfway through it. I was helping the 351 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:37.720 kids sled and I one didn't want to, I didn't 352 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.559 want to shovel, and I also, well, dude, I didn't 353 00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:42.000 want to shovel and also I didn't want her to 354 00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:43.879 keep doing it and making me feel bad. So I 355 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.120 was like, babe, why, like do you really think this 356 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.120 will this will be like this is gonna help because 357 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.360 it's only gonna get We're only gonna get more snow later, 358 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.720 we're gonna get some ice and sleep freezing rain. Then 359 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:55.639 we're gonna get more snow after that. Like I said, 360 00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:57.360 I just I just feel like doing all that is 361 00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.840 is it's not really it's not really worth it, And 362 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.600 and she kept going. So finally I was like, well, look, 363 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:03.360 you're actually gonna make it worse. I didn't want to 364 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:04.840 say it, but you're gonna make it worse because what 365 00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.799 you're doing is you're getting rid of a big part 366 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:10.039 of the base to where all that's gonna be underneath 367 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.240 it is ice. And she was like, no, no, you're wrong. Well, 368 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:15.000 last night, after she had shoveled it, we were able 369 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:17.159 to get out of the driveway and then get up 370 00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.000 the driveway, so I kind of think she felt like 371 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.480 she won. Well then today, of course this morning it's snowed. 372 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:25.120 Did it end up snowing quite a bit, Yeah, Yeah, 373 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:27.840 there was a I mean it was snowing really all morning, 374 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:29.519 but there was I don't know, about an hour hour 375 00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:31.240 and a half where it was coming down harder than 376 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.679 it was yesterday, at least where I was. So you know, 377 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:37.240 here I am thinking, is it gonna be much slicker 378 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.360 and much more difficult to drive up now that we've 379 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.799 had another layer of like ice and sleet and they 380 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.240 put more snow on it? And sure enough, like our 381 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.840 our driveway, I bet it's like two and a half 382 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:51.960 inches of ice. It's like an ice like it it's 383 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.559 I mean, so not only could we not get back 384 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:56.919 up the driveway, we couldn't walk up a bit walk 385 00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:59.519 up right because it was literally it's that steep and 386 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:02.279 it's just nothing but ice and it's thick. So, like, 387 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:04.519 the reason I feel like I can tell her that 388 00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:07.600 she's wrong is because we dropped the kids off earlier 389 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:10.879 today at their grandmother's house and they haven't opened their 390 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:13.720 garage or walked on their driveway since it started snowing 391 00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.919 Sunday morning. So we're talking about no footprints. 392 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:18.879 Nothing, so just some fresh snow. Yeah. 393 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.080 Yeah, So we end up pulling in her driveway and 394 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.080 I could easily walk because it had like a layer 395 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:28.519 over the ice to where you know it was it 396 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:31.039 was really just deep enough to where and we had 397 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:32.919 some more snow to where you could easily walk on 398 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:35.440 that better and you could drive on it better. And 399 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:37.000 I feel like ours would have looked like that if 400 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:39.919 it wasn't for my wife. But anyways, now our our 401 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.399
