Speaker 1: Fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven nine day. Now
Speaker 1: here's Nick coffee.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get it started out number two here
Speaker 2: on a Monday. Are hopefully it's our first normal week
Speaker 2: in a long time. When I say normal week, I
Speaker 2: mean a regular routine where we And again it sounds
Speaker 2: weird complaining about having time to you know, or getting
Speaker 2: a day off unexpectedly, like if you get a snow
Speaker 2: day if you're a kid, or maybe you used a
Speaker 2: PTO day or something because you didn't have anybody. What
Speaker 2: I mean, I just like structure. I need it. I
Speaker 2: need to be, you know, in rhythm and routine. And
Speaker 2: it's been off lately with the holidays and with that
Speaker 2: week of weather we had last week. So hopefully you
Speaker 2: know that snow stays away for a while, because it
Speaker 2: impacted us more so than I was expecting. All and all,
Speaker 2: it wasn't terrible. I guess it could have been a
Speaker 2: lot worse. I know some people lost power. I never
Speaker 2: lost electricity or anything like that.
Speaker 3: But did get your car stuck though?
Speaker 2: I did, Yeah, but it wasn't for long. And then
Speaker 2: I guess I did have to delay my trip, which
Speaker 2: made it for a long drive Saturday morning just to
Speaker 2: get there by noon, and so yeah, I did. It
Speaker 2: impacted me, but you know, again, it could be it
Speaker 2: could be a lot worse.
Speaker 3: So U And at least the snow was kind of
Speaker 3: melting right now.
Speaker 2: It's still there, but well so it melted enough to
Speaker 2: where roads should be fine in most places unless you're
Speaker 2: in like shade. But it got really cold again today,
Speaker 2: Like yesterday it was. It was a buff freezing and
Speaker 2: it kind of felt like tropical outside to me. We
Speaker 2: went to dinner and I usually i'm hoodie and jacket
Speaker 2: because of how cold it's been lately, and I decided
Speaker 2: just to go hoodie and I was walking into the restaurant,
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know what, man, it feels great out
Speaker 2: of here. And it was still like thirty eight degrees
Speaker 2: of so, you know, not ideal for that to feel
Speaker 2: like it's warm, but nonetheless, it's been it's been cold lately.
Speaker 2: So but today, I mean it's freezing again. Like I
Speaker 2: don't know what the temperature is right now. But when
Speaker 2: I was getting in the car to head this way,
Speaker 2: I was reminded, okay, it's still January. And we had
Speaker 2: a brief day where it got above freezing, but man,
Speaker 2: it's really cold. So like everything in my driveway that
Speaker 2: had not completely melted yet is now freezing again, which
Speaker 2: you know, overall, it's not going to create any issues
Speaker 2: for us. But the good thing is I don't think
Speaker 2: we have any more snow coming for a while, and
Speaker 2: we will get more, We will get more days where
Speaker 2: it's gonna be above freezing. But what it comes down
Speaker 2: to now, as far as like all these mounds of
Speaker 2: snow that are all over the area and parking lots,
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff, for those to like completely
Speaker 2: go away, it's gonna take a lot of time because
Speaker 2: it doesn't just get above freezing and all of that
Speaker 2: melts instantly. And right now it looks like even though
Speaker 2: we're gonna have some days where it's closer to forty
Speaker 2: than thirty, you got to keep in mind how long
Speaker 2: during the day does it get to that temperature. Like
Speaker 2: I think what happened on Sunday yesterday was it got
Speaker 2: warm enough for the first time in a long time
Speaker 2: to where like roads that are being driven over that
Speaker 2: kind of stuff like it melted, but the other stuff
Speaker 2: it froze right back up. And that's that's what happens.
Speaker 2: It's been a long time since we had this amount
Speaker 2: of winter weather and this long stretch of temperatures that
Speaker 2: were just you know that cold.
Speaker 3: My road still sucks, is it really? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I don't know why anybody hasn't came through there with
Speaker 4: the snow clouds?
Speaker 2: So is it because people park on the street that
Speaker 2: they don't have the ability to like just run the
Speaker 2: I mean, like because I mean maybe, but like, so
Speaker 2: where were they going to push the snow to if
Speaker 2: everybody's cars are the right and left?
Speaker 3: That's true. I didn't think about it that well.
Speaker 2: Like I don't think they can do anything to Europe
Speaker 2: because that's that's that was my weir, that was my worry.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's not really convenient place to park on
Speaker 2: the street. On my street. You can, but like you know,
Speaker 2: it's not a thing people don't do that. They park
Speaker 2: in driveways, and a lot of the driveways are kind
Speaker 2: of tricky just because of the neighborhood. So I was
Speaker 2: worried that they wouldn't come down and treat my street
Speaker 2: if I couldn't get my vehicle up, because I'd be
Speaker 2: the only guy on our street that had my car
Speaker 2: out there. So if that was the case, they probably
Speaker 2: wouldn't even try to come down because they could damage
Speaker 2: your vehicle or they could, you know, pile up the snow.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you've got cars that are like, so,
Speaker 2: do you all have driveways?
Speaker 3: It's just no, it's just street parking.
Speaker 2: That's what I thought. Yeah, so I don't know how
Speaker 2: they would treat those streets.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because come down, some salt down or something that
Speaker 3: would be nice.
Speaker 2: Salt salt could go uh you know, su it could
Speaker 2: go a long way. But I feel like with what
Speaker 2: we got, if they're not actually plowing the roads, then
Speaker 2: you're gonna's I mean that that may have answered our
Speaker 2: question as to why your street is in the situation
Speaker 2: that it's in, because there's not really all that they
Speaker 2: can do.
Speaker 4: Because usually when they do the streets sweeping, like once
Speaker 4: every month, everybody's got to get off, go find another
Speaker 4: place to park.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so how does that work? Do you all get
Speaker 2: like notices from the.
Speaker 4: Light there, like on the light poles and stuff like,
Speaker 4: and it will say no parking on this street on
Speaker 4: this day from this time and then then.
Speaker 3: If you do, they tell you right, and they'll they'll
Speaker 3: give you a ticket.
Speaker 4: I've noticed I've actually ignored the last couple of times
Speaker 4: that they've done that, and I haven't gotten any ticket
Speaker 4: or anything. And I've watched them go by and they
Speaker 4: just kind of go over my car.
Speaker 2: So they drive okay, So they've got like a little
Speaker 2: like they can get it done if there's just a
Speaker 2: couple of cars. But if it gets to the point
Speaker 2: where like it's there's there, it's what it usually looks like,
Speaker 2: then they wouldn't be able to do it.
Speaker 3: That makes it I know that that makes it be
Speaker 3: a ticket.
Speaker 2: Though what kind of tick will be talking about?
Speaker 3: You know what it caught?
Speaker 2: Like a hundred bucks?
Speaker 4: Like probably something like that. It hasn't happened to me,
Speaker 4: I thank god, but I would probably say something small maybe.
Speaker 2: So when you when you when you ignore it and
Speaker 2: you don't end up getting a ticket, I mean it
Speaker 2: probably feels like you know you won.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just play with fire.
Speaker 2: But do you not do it now because you feel
Speaker 2: like you can get away with it or do you not?
Speaker 2: Any like? Where do people go?
Speaker 4: Well, just sometimes it's just it honestly just depends on
Speaker 4: if I'm paying attention or not. Like if I on
Speaker 4: a time where I'm driving down the street and I
Speaker 4: see my car or my streets usually packed with cars.
Speaker 4: If I see that they're not there, then I'll have
Speaker 4: to look towards a light pole and see, oh, okay,
Speaker 4: they got one of those signs up, and then I'll
Speaker 4: go find somewhere else to do.
Speaker 2: So when you say fund some most to park, is
Speaker 2: it like just a different street, Yeah, just.
Speaker 4: A different street, like on the end, because they're they're
Speaker 4: not going to do every you know, they're not going
Speaker 4: to do every street. Then whenever they go do the
Speaker 4: other street, then I'll know that because there's nowhere to
Speaker 4: park on my street because everyone's already tried to get DIBs.
Speaker 4: And there's an alley right by my house that leads
Speaker 4: to more houses that's not considered a street, I guess,
Speaker 4: and I kind of park right there sometimes and it's
Speaker 4: still easy to get right to my house that's right
Speaker 4: in front, but it just veers off into an alleyway
Speaker 4: rather than the actual street that I'm on, still in
Speaker 4: front of my house, but it's on the alley part
Speaker 4: of it, if that makes sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, I just have never I've never I've never
Speaker 2: lived anywhere where there was I mean, I guess I lived
Speaker 2: in an apartment for a little while that was like
Speaker 2: we shared a parking lot, but like it, you know.
Speaker 2: It one of the things that I didn't realize how
Speaker 2: convenient and awesome it is until I experienced it. I
Speaker 2: and grew up with a garage where we parked our
Speaker 2: car in the garage we did end up getting. We
Speaker 2: actually had a garage added to the home when I
Speaker 2: was a little bit older, and my mother parked in there,
Speaker 2: but I never parked my car in there. And then
Speaker 2: whenever I was living in in the apartment and in
Speaker 2: our first house, we didn't have a garage. So I
Speaker 2: just never really realized how awesome it can be you
Speaker 2: have a garage, begin not just because of like the
Speaker 2: space in your home, but like just your car is
Speaker 2: going to be like it's a game changer. Like I
Speaker 2: whenever I didn't have the ability to park in my
Speaker 2: garage because the door was broke, or because the last
Speaker 2: time around whenever we it's now, I couldn't get up
Speaker 2: the driveway for two days. So it's one of those
Speaker 2: things that when you asked me, like, what's important, does it? Like,
Speaker 2: I never had it before, so I didn't know how
Speaker 2: great it was, how convenient it was. And then once
Speaker 2: we moved to our second house, we had a garage,
Speaker 2: and I remember initially thinking like, it's no big deal,
Speaker 2: like it be kind of a tight squeeze. You can
Speaker 2: just park in the garage. I don't care. And then
Speaker 2: we found a way to make both vehicles fit, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, whenever I leave in the
Speaker 2: summertime and I'm coming from the garage, obviously it's still hot,
Speaker 2: but nowhere near as hot as it would be in
Speaker 2: my car if I was if it was bacon in
Speaker 2: the sun. And the same thing with wintertime, like even
Speaker 2: if it's not snowing, if my car is in the
Speaker 2: very cold garage and it's covered, I mean it's gonna
Speaker 2: be It's gonna get warm a lot quicker that way
Speaker 2: than it would if it was just sitting outside. So
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like, now when I if I
Speaker 2: ever do move again, which God I hope I don't,
Speaker 2: I would I would have told you before this house.
Speaker 2: I don't really know if I would care to have
Speaker 2: a garage or not. Now I need to have one again,
Speaker 2: not because I need room for my tools. I don't
Speaker 2: have any tools or anything like that. It's just because
Speaker 2: being able to keep the vehicle indoors essentially, it's also
Speaker 2: proof basically. Yeah, and again it's really just what you know,
Speaker 2: Like for you, like, I'm sure you've probably lived there
Speaker 2: long enough to where it's not like, you know, you
Speaker 2: just get used to whatever the situation is, right, And
Speaker 2: I would not be used to I mean, I guess
Speaker 2: i'd if I had to get used to it, then
Speaker 2: I'd get used to it.
Speaker 4: But where my grandparents or where my parents live and
Speaker 4: where I used to live, all the all the garages
Speaker 4: are like in the back of the house, so they're like, uh,
Speaker 4: you got to go down that alley to get the garage. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's pretty cool, different, I feel like, but obviously they
Speaker 4: don't snowplow those, Like my dad was telling me how
Speaker 4: he's had a rough time getting out just because the
Speaker 4: whole alley has been you know, icy and snowy, and
Speaker 4: you obviously can't get snowplows that way. Yeah, it had
Speaker 4: It's had to been a neighborhood effort for everyone to
Speaker 4: go out there and do that, which could be a
Speaker 4: little inconvenient in that part.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, especially if others aren't doing their park to
Speaker 2: help out. I think when you share parking on a street,
Speaker 2: there's there's got to and I'm sure there there are
Speaker 2: some studies that that could either confirm or deny this.
Speaker 2: But when it comes to neighborhood conflict parking, I mean,
Speaker 2: if you don't have your own driveway and you just
Speaker 2: share whatever's available on the street and it's a free
Speaker 2: for all, first come, first serve, there's no assigned spots,
Speaker 2: there's there's so much more opportunity for neighborhood conflict, right, Yeah, Like,
Speaker 2: I'm sure there are some that don't don't care that
Speaker 2: they that you've been you've lived there twenty years and
Speaker 2: you have technically just decided to make a certain spot
Speaker 2: yours yea, and everybody else has been fine with it.
Speaker 2: But then you move in and you don't care. You're
Speaker 2: just going to take that spot if it's open, Like
Speaker 2: that could be because people develop a sense of entitlement
Speaker 2: to it, And I guess if it's just been that
Speaker 2: way for twenty years, then I guess I understand how
Speaker 2: you could get the feeling of entitlement when it comes
Speaker 2: to a spot on the street. But like, if there's
Speaker 2: nothing you can do about it. You don't actually own it.
Speaker 2: If somebody parks there because they want to park there,
Speaker 2: they can.
Speaker 4: Oh dude, well this last week when it was snowing.
Speaker 4: And I've seen this like on the blake when you
Speaker 4: ask me about the uh, like the community pages that
Speaker 4: you're on on Facebook and stuff like that, or the
Speaker 4: next door app, and I even seen it on my
Speaker 4: on my street. But like there's obviously no assign park
Speaker 4: and it's all public street. You know, it's kind of
Speaker 4: like an unwritten I wouldn't even say unwritten thing. It's
Speaker 4: just kind of first come, first serve if you get there.
Speaker 4: But I know there were people that were out there
Speaker 4: plowing their spots and like shoveling out their spots, and
Speaker 4: just because they did it, they set like a cone
Speaker 4: out there or a box that they've written on it.
Speaker 4: We shoveled this spot, this is ours. So when they leave,
Speaker 4: they're they're basically claiming that spot. And I'm kind of
Speaker 4: fifty to fifty on like, yeah, dude, no.
Speaker 2: That's a great. I love this. I love this because
Speaker 2: I mean I'm gonna sound like an a hole here,
Speaker 2: but you can shovel the whole street. People can park
Speaker 2: wherever they want. That's true, Like that's I mean, I
Speaker 2: understand the like the principle here like the like, but
Speaker 2: you really don't have a You don't have any right
Speaker 2: to claim that because you shoveled it. That means that
Speaker 2: you that you are the only you can park there
Speaker 2: because you.
Speaker 3: Worked for it.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, if I mean, I don't know what I
Speaker 2: would do, because I wouldn't put a car. I mean
Speaker 2: I would, I wouldn't in a way. I fear conflicts
Speaker 2: so much that I think by even like acknowledging that
Speaker 2: you because anybody who sees that you you shoveled off
Speaker 2: a certain spot that you want for you because you
Speaker 2: worked for it. Yeah, I don't think anybody would think
Speaker 2: that you're wrong for that. But it's also like an
Speaker 2: invitation for somebody to to to dare you, Like, hey,
Speaker 2: all right, I don't care, I'll come park there. You
Speaker 2: got to run over your b because because they know
Speaker 2: you've got nothing to do, You've got no like clan
Speaker 2: like you can't call the cops.
Speaker 3: You can't.
Speaker 2: I mean, if the spot's open and it's because you
Speaker 2: shoveled it, but your car's not there and you left,
Speaker 2: and somebody sees a cone that they know is not
Speaker 2: supposed to be there. I mean, technically, if you do
Speaker 2: that and you put a cone there, you're in the
Speaker 2: wrong because you're not supposed to put it. It would
Speaker 2: be I wouldn't do well in that situation. But totally
Speaker 2: that's been.
Speaker 4: A funny talking point on those apps and community message
Speaker 4: boards and stuff.
Speaker 2: I mean, some people just like to get a rise
Speaker 2: out of folks, sure, and I could totally see that
Speaker 2: being the outcome there to where maybe they just I mean,
Speaker 2: I would be now, I just want to be a
Speaker 2: fly on the wall on that street and you area,
Speaker 2: because I would just want to know, is there's somebody
Speaker 2: out there that is willing to be that big of
Speaker 2: an a hole that knows that you know what they
Speaker 2: they worked for the spot, they wanted it, but they
Speaker 2: actually don't have any right to claim it, so I'm
Speaker 2: going to go steal it. I shouldn't want somebody to
Speaker 2: do that to someone, but I kind of do because
Speaker 2: I just you know, it's like you know, train correct,
Speaker 2: Like if there's if there's conflict, there's neighborhood drama. If
Speaker 2: you hear a fight or commotion going on down the
Speaker 2: hall and you're in when you're in school, like, it's
Speaker 2: kind of natural instincts to just kind of perk up
Speaker 2: and want to see.
Speaker 3: What's going on out what's going on?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so has has has there been any like real
Speaker 2: issues with Not anybody on your street.
Speaker 4: Not that I haven't, not that I haven't seen. No
Speaker 4: one on my street has done that. But the street
Speaker 4: right next to me. As I was coming home sometime
Speaker 4: last week, I saw that there were two carved out spots. Obviously,
Speaker 4: the whole road is full of ice and snow, but
Speaker 4: there were two perfectly carved out spots, and they had
Speaker 4: like the long cones that stand up that have like
Speaker 4: the reflectors on them, not yet your basic triangle. One's
Speaker 4: the one with the base and they're kind of long,
Speaker 4: and I.
Speaker 2: I just remember the base was kind of long.
Speaker 3: The base is nice and out the base, you know.
Speaker 4: But I saw that, and that also reflected me earlier
Speaker 4: in the week where I saw in one of the
Speaker 4: Facebook apps to where someone had placed like an empty
Speaker 4: cardboard box out that out there and they had written
Speaker 4: on it. We spent all day shoveling this this is
Speaker 4: our spot until we get back here, or something like that.
Speaker 2: But it's but it's not. And that's like, and that's
Speaker 2: get it. I guess the the I guess it makes
Speaker 2: me a jerk. I wouldn't do it one because I
Speaker 2: don't have the stones to do it. I fear, I
Speaker 2: fear I wouldn't do it. And I'm not somebody looking
Speaker 2: for any kind of I don't like to communicate with
Speaker 2: anybody if I don't have to know you, So I
Speaker 2: would avoid any situation where we got to talk about
Speaker 2: whose spot is what, like I don't, I'll avoid it.
Speaker 2: But there is someone that could quite literally see that
Speaker 2: and just say, okay, cool.
Speaker 3: I just motivate something to do it more hard work.
Speaker 2: And then they just go and take your spot and
Speaker 2: your heart and know that no matter what you say,
Speaker 2: you actually that's not your spot. You don't own it.
Speaker 2: You cleared it off and you left it open, and
Speaker 2: I took it like that, And that would be the
Speaker 2: ultimate al move. But technically it would just be a
Speaker 2: moral thing as far as who's in the row, that's
Speaker 2: what it comes down, and you would be acknowledging that
Speaker 2: you have no morals, which is probably not something that
Speaker 2: people you know. I mean, I wouldn't, I would hope
Speaker 2: that you wouldn't want to be that way. Some people
Speaker 2: maybe are that way and don't realize it. But there's
Speaker 2: a show on Investigation Discovery if you ever want to
Speaker 2: watch a true crime show about this kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: It's called fear Thy Neighbor. Have you ever heard of it? Austin, Oh,
Speaker 2: it sounds good. They've got let me see here. This
Speaker 2: show has been on for over ten years and there
Speaker 2: are gosh, there are at least they just finished up
Speaker 2: their eleventh season, okay, and each each season has like
Speaker 2: twenty episodes and it's in its stories. It's a true
Speaker 2: crime show that each episode is a different version of
Speaker 2: neighborhood issues that turn to crime and sometimes murder. And
Speaker 2: like that show, along with Judge Judy like, it's made
Speaker 2: me realize that my neighbors have been phenomenal. And some
Speaker 2: of them I've never even talked to. I've never even
Speaker 2: met them. But the fact that they don't try, you know,
Speaker 2: they don't inconvenience me, and they let you know, and
Speaker 2: they just kind of stay out of my way, out
Speaker 2: stadt of theirs. That's a good neighbor. Because you have
Speaker 2: a bad neighbor and it becomes real contentious where you're
Speaker 2: just out there looking to make each other's lives hell.
Speaker 2: And by the way that exists, that happens, hopefully not
Speaker 2: to the level of like what ends up on this
Speaker 2: show I'm talking about, but enough of it's happened to
Speaker 2: where they can do eleven seasons of twenty episodes a
Speaker 2: piece that's correct where neighbors get into it and somebody
Speaker 2: either gets stabbed or shot or killed. I mean, it's wild.
Speaker 3: I might have to watch that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you need to check it out because it's it'll
Speaker 2: make you probably appreciate your neighbors in real life. I
Speaker 2: mean more than anything. It's made me because I have
Speaker 2: had I haven't had any bad neighbors, but I've had
Speaker 2: a neighbor where we used to live that was just
Speaker 2: kind of kind of a pain in my ass and
Speaker 2: annoyed me, and I at times had to tell myself,
Speaker 2: like I need to just tell this guy to like
Speaker 2: me alone, like we don't need to be friends, Like
Speaker 2: you're you know, quit quit the passive aggressive neighborly stuff.
Speaker 2: I know you, I know what you're doing. Like I
Speaker 2: wanted to go there with him a couple of times,
Speaker 2: but I'm like, you know what he's bored. He might
Speaker 2: just want to make my life a living hell. So
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna keep my sometimes my mister man exactly
Speaker 2: story of my life. Quick break, We'll come back on
Speaker 2: the other side. Keep it rolling along. It's coffee and company.
Speaker 2: Feel about Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 1: Now back to coffee and company fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 2: That's right, coffee and company. Feel about Thorton's here on
Speaker 2: Sports Talk seven ninety. About halfway through here on a
Speaker 2: Monday afternoon, let's go to the text line five y
Speaker 2: two six five three zero seven ninety is the L
Speaker 2: and N Federal Credit Union text line members get more
Speaker 2: at Ellen and Federal Credit Union. You can learn more
Speaker 2: open your account today at LNFCU dot com. All right,
Speaker 2: so this textas Nick, have you gone back and looked
Speaker 2: at all the candidates for the Louisville job to see
Speaker 2: wait a second, here we go to see how badly
Speaker 2: they are doing and how lucky we are to have
Speaker 2: Pat Kelcey. I have not. I've not gone back. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'll just look at it because everybody I think had
Speaker 2: had different opinions on the search this time around. And
Speaker 2: what I mean by that is there was a level
Speaker 2: of everybody knowing that no matter who it is, we're
Speaker 2: going to find a way to embrace it because we
Speaker 2: know it's not going to be as bad as we
Speaker 2: had it with with you know who. So with that,
Speaker 2: you know, and I'm trying to go. I mean, I
Speaker 2: remember the search was weird because before the job was open,
Speaker 2: the search was kind of going on with fans and
Speaker 2: we knew Kenny was going to be replaced at some point.
Speaker 2: So I mean, I'm trying to go. I'm trying to
Speaker 2: figure out the window of time to wear. It really
Speaker 2: ramped up and we were talking about coaches to where
Speaker 2: we knew one of these five names that is being
Speaker 2: discussed is gonna be one of these five guys is
Speaker 2: going to be the next level coach. I mean, I
Speaker 2: think get turned to that once we realized Dusty dust
Speaker 2: he may taking the Michigan job. When Louisville, I guess
Speaker 2: expected him to take the job.
Speaker 3: And he didn't.
Speaker 2: He didn't have it, he didn't want it. You know,
Speaker 2: He's doing really well in Michigan, and we talked about
Speaker 2: that last week. He's somebody that I think is a
Speaker 2: good coach. I didn't think his resume was as impressive
Speaker 2: as others thought it was. But he's a good coach,
Speaker 2: and he's now leading a program with better resources than
Speaker 2: FAU and he's doing well right now. Wasn't a fit.
Speaker 2: He knew it, and good for him for knowing it.
Speaker 2: And then after that, I guess, Josh Shurtz and I
Speaker 2: have no clue how good Saint Louis is doing or
Speaker 2: not doing, to be honest with you, so I haven't
Speaker 2: kept up to answer your question. The only get so
Speaker 2: the two coaches that that I talked about quite a
Speaker 2: bit during the search that I was was high on
Speaker 2: right guys that if I was making the decision and
Speaker 2: I could have pulled the trigger, I would have offered
Speaker 2: the job to Eric Musselman or Jerome Tang, and I
Speaker 2: would have hired somebody that I you know, I would
Speaker 2: both those guys I think are good coaches. Drum Tang
Speaker 2: was a bigger risk, and he's certainly not having a
Speaker 2: good year at all. And I was really high on Tang.
Speaker 2: But Muscleman, I just feel like it was I mean,
Speaker 2: when you know you just got to start winning games.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he was proven to be a
Speaker 2: guy that will win. Now, maybe he's a little difficult
Speaker 2: to work with, maybe he doesn't have maybe he's not
Speaker 2: I mean, look, Pat Kelsey checks a box that I
Speaker 2: think we all knew was important to an extent. But man,
Speaker 2: he's checking it in a way that nobody can and
Speaker 2: he is excelling. And everything that you know comes within
Speaker 2: that box you're checking fan engagement, energy, enthusiasm, humble, likability.
Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta win basketball games. You gotta be
Speaker 2: a good coach. We know that. But there's things you
Speaker 2: can do that can either make you more more likable
Speaker 2: to your fan base or maybe they, you know, want
Speaker 2: to wait and see if you can win. People are
Speaker 2: going to believe that you will get it done if
Speaker 2: they like you now, eventually they'll stop because the proof
Speaker 2: will be there. But when Pat Kelsey got the job,
Speaker 2: none of us we're gonna be able to I mean,
Speaker 2: we still technically don't have a clue how things are
Speaker 2: going to play out from now until you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know the end of first three years, whatever, We
Speaker 2: don't know. Nobody can predict the future. But even before
Speaker 2: he coached the game this year, he was doing a
Speaker 2: lot of things that got people believeing in him, and
Speaker 2: that's what you want in Louisville. Not only I mean
Speaker 2: Louisville needed that. Fans needed to have a coach that
Speaker 2: they believe in and are excited about, and even when
Speaker 2: things aren't great, and even whenever you are reminded that
Speaker 2: you're still not what you once were as a program,
Speaker 2: if you believe in the guy and you like him
Speaker 2: and he's given you early signs that he could really
Speaker 2: succeed here, that's that's how you get back. And I
Speaker 2: think right now Louisville is in the midst of that.
Speaker 2: So Pat Kelsey, I mean, Josh hr I talked about
Speaker 2: it last week. I talked to him this weekend. I
Speaker 2: mean he he is somebody that deserves a ton of
Speaker 2: credit for looking at a component within Pat Kelsey's resume
Speaker 2: what he brings to the table and realizing not only
Speaker 2: how valuable that can be to us, but how much
Speaker 2: we need it right now. And I mean' getting a
Speaker 2: little uncomfortable because I know it just sounds like I'm
Speaker 2: just completely glazing NonStop. How phenomenal like it look. Nobody's perfect.
Speaker 2: Louis Is gonna lose some basketball games, I don't know,
Speaker 2: if they're ever going to win a national championship with Kelsey.
Speaker 2: So I know it may sound like I'm already crowning
Speaker 2: him as the best thing that's ever happened to the
Speaker 2: history of basketball, But I mean, I just am expressing
Speaker 2: genuine excitement about where Louisville basketball is right now, where
Speaker 2: I think it could go. And I'm a fan like
Speaker 2: anybody else, I'm a fan. So the other coaches that
Speaker 2: were considered for the job, only Josh could tell you
Speaker 2: who was truly considered and who wasn't. But you know,
Speaker 2: even if you had the same record, like right now,
Speaker 2: Louisville is let's see, I just had to pull up here.
Speaker 2: Louisville currently is twelve and five and five and one
Speaker 2: in the ACC. You could have Eric Musselman, maybe Mick
Speaker 2: Cronin who wasn't realistic or Dust he may you could
Speaker 2: have the same record and or maybe even like a
Speaker 2: slightly better record. I don't know. Maybe maybe those coaches
Speaker 2: wouldn't have bad luck with injury, maybe they would have
Speaker 2: built the roster differently, but it wouldn't feel the way
Speaker 2: this feels because they're not bringing this. I mean, Pat Kelsey,
Speaker 2: he's a real component to the way this has been
Speaker 2: enjoyable for fans, not just because they're winning games, but
Speaker 2: because everything that comes with it. The way these guys play,
Speaker 2: they're a reflection of him on the sideline. He's humble,
Speaker 2: he's passionate, and you can tell he loves being the
Speaker 2: coach here. He thinks this is, you know, best things
Speaker 2: ever happened to him. So it's it's it's awesome. So again,
Speaker 2: Josh Hurd, I don't think the search went great, at
Speaker 2: least from the optics of it, but none of that
Speaker 2: really matters in the grand scheme of things. And we
Speaker 2: knew that the whole time. You don't want to have
Speaker 2: a search that is looked at as wow, they can't
Speaker 2: get their guy, or wow, what happened to this program?
Speaker 2: But once if you got a guy, he comes in,
Speaker 2: he fits well and he wins, and fans are excited
Speaker 2: and they're engaged in the engagement is up within your program,
Speaker 2: and that's what you want. And that's what we have
Speaker 2: right now. And it's been it's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: But yes, maybe we'll talk about it later. I gotta
Speaker 2: I want to. There's some things I could share about
Speaker 2: the Jerome Tank situation. That wouldn't change anything, but I
Speaker 2: think it would be worth noting in regards to like
Speaker 2: sort of why Kansas State is so bad this year.
Speaker 2: But we don't have time for that. I don't think
Speaker 2: anybody cares about that right now, to be honest with you,
Speaker 2: all right, five two, five seven seventy nine hundred is
Speaker 2: the number. If you guys want to jump in and
Speaker 2: give us a call. Let's go to the phone lines.
Speaker 2: We will now welcome in. Charles, Charles, what's happening, Hey?
Speaker 5: What's up near?
Speaker 2: How are we doing?
Speaker 1: Hey?
Speaker 6: I just wanted to talk to you about the fair
Speaker 6: versus foul uh situation?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 6: And uh, well you were talking about shoveling snow and
Speaker 6: I guess I wanted to switch that a little bit
Speaker 6: to holding spots at sports bars or okay, Uh, I
Speaker 6: go to the Roosters on Dixie. I know you go
Speaker 6: to the one on Presston a lot. So where does
Speaker 6: fair become foul? Let's say Louisvill's playing Saturday at four
Speaker 6: o'clock Saturday afternoon. I'm gonna go up a couple of
Speaker 6: hours early and hold a good bar seat for me
Speaker 6: and my girlfriend. But my girlfriend is not gonna come
Speaker 6: for say, right before tip off or kickoff? Whatever? Is
Speaker 6: it fair for me to be on to hold a
Speaker 6: bar seat for her? Where does that or how long
Speaker 6: can I hold that bar seat? And where you really
Speaker 6: see it as big games? Oh yeah, people try to
Speaker 6: come in early and hold ten spots for the whole
Speaker 6: entire family. But you know you're pissing servers off because
Speaker 6: they're not turning over tables? Is it okay if you
Speaker 6: tipped big? Where does fair versus foule? Just love to
Speaker 6: get your perspective on that.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Charles. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: This is while radio is fun. This is a great,
Speaker 2: great question from Charles here. And I don't think there's
Speaker 2: a right, wrong, black white answer here. I think it's
Speaker 2: I think it comes down to I mean, really, I
Speaker 2: guess the root of it is the bartender or the server.
Speaker 2: They should they're the ones who will either allow you
Speaker 2: or not allow you to hold a seat at a bar.
Speaker 2: And I I'm just thinking about like what I would
Speaker 2: do in certain situations. So if if I walk in
Speaker 2: and it's just me and I'm going to the bar
Speaker 2: to watch the game, and there there is Charles and
Speaker 2: he's he's you know, I don't know him, and and
Speaker 2: there's a seat next to him, and I'm thinking, hey,
Speaker 2: this gentleman looks he looks like a Louisville fan. Maybe
Speaker 2: I'll go sit next to him and uh, you know,
Speaker 2: we'll watch the game together. He's the only the Louisville
Speaker 2: fan here. Let's let's you know, might as well unite
Speaker 2: with with part of cardination. And I go say, hey,
Speaker 2: you know anybody's sitting here and he says yes. Then
Speaker 2: I'm probably just gonna walk back to the walk back
Speaker 2: to the ike. I guess it's the walk. It's the
Speaker 2: walk of shame. I'm going back to the hostess table
Speaker 2: and say, hey, table for one. You know, you go
Speaker 2: to the bar because you can be by yourself and
Speaker 2: it's not really as noticeable, and I don't mind. It's funny.
Speaker 2: I guess it's just growth or you know, just maybe
Speaker 2: I don't know what what you chalk it up as
Speaker 2: I would never years ago go to someplace by myself
Speaker 2: an eat dinner, like I would never do that. And
Speaker 2: I've done that several times, and now it's they're a few.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: I don't do it often, and I will oftentimes find
Speaker 2: a bar seat just because it's more convenient. But I
Speaker 2: used to never want to go eat eat by myself.
Speaker 2: In fact, when I would travel, you know, and I
Speaker 2: still do from time to time and I'm by myself.
Speaker 2: My wife like, if I tell her, Hey, I'm going
Speaker 2: to dinner, she asks, by yourself. Yeah, I wish you
Speaker 2: wouldn't have told me that. Now I'm sad. I'm like, honey,
Speaker 2: it's okay. I'm not sitting I'm in a city a
Speaker 2: thousand miles away that I don't know anyone. That's why
Speaker 2: I'm alone. I'm not. I mean, it's just I don't know.
Speaker 2: I used to I used to really think, like, man,
Speaker 2: I can't go sit by myself, even if I didn't
Speaker 2: know people, I wouldn't want to do that. And now
Speaker 2: I don't care. And again I actually sometimes prefer it.
Speaker 2: I can't. I'm on the clock working while I take
Speaker 2: my kids to dinner. My goodness. I mean, it's become
Speaker 2: it's become that. So anyways, back to the Charles's question,
Speaker 2: if you told me somebody was sitting there and I
Speaker 2: walked away, I would say, okay, whatever. But if you
Speaker 2: told me nobody's sitting here now, but my wife's coming later,
Speaker 2: So sorry, I wouldn't. That's just not my personality.
Speaker 6: It is not my.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna bite you on it. I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: make a comment. I'm probably just gonna say okay, cool
Speaker 2: and walk away because I don't think what you're doing
Speaker 2: is like crazy. But what the reason it's a great question,
Speaker 2: and you kind of alluded to this, Charles, is that
Speaker 2: what's the grace period?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 2: Like, at what point do you lose the ability? What
Speaker 2: point do you lose the ability to claim somebody's on
Speaker 2: their way?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 2: Like, I know there are certain restaurants that won't suit
Speaker 2: you unless the majority of your party is there, because
Speaker 2: you could take a seat for ten or I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: you could take a seat at a table that is
Speaker 2: set for ten people, and if you're there by yourself
Speaker 2: for an hour waiting on everybody else to get there,
Speaker 2: you know, I think at that point what it comes
Speaker 2: down to, are you a regular? Do the servers know
Speaker 2: that you are there for every game and that you
Speaker 2: are going to bring a big group of people and
Speaker 2: you are going to make sure that the server's taking
Speaker 2: care of to the best of your ability. Because you
Speaker 2: realize you have taken up a huge table for her
Speaker 2: or him, and it's a lot of work, so like
Speaker 2: I think, and roosters. He mentions, he goes to the
Speaker 2: one on on Dixie. I go to the one on Preston.
Speaker 2: You know it's I go there often. Don't go there
Speaker 2: for games as much as I used to, but you know,
Speaker 2: like it would be. You know, there's servers there that
Speaker 2: I know that that i've that I've met. This makes
Speaker 2: me sound like I live there and I don't really,
Speaker 2: but I kind of do. I might might look into
Speaker 2: maybe seeing if I can just start, you know, paying
Speaker 2: rent there and sure and not pay for meals, but visit.
Speaker 3: You're always time.
Speaker 2: I'm there a lot, and I love it. So we
Speaker 2: we know who's working. You usually, at any point when
Speaker 2: we go, there's at least one or two people working
Speaker 2: that we have met over the years that like they understand,
Speaker 2: we're we're gonna be you know, we're gonna tip well,
Speaker 2: and we're not gonna be a holes and we're gonna
Speaker 2: you know, we're not high maintenance. We're you know, we're
Speaker 2: easy to deal with, which I'm sure there are servers
Speaker 2: out there listening right now that know when certain people
Speaker 2: come into the restaurant or the bar that they work in.
Speaker 2: They don't want to wait on them because they know
Speaker 2: they're high maintenance. They don't tip as well. It's not
Speaker 2: as friendly that kind of stuff. So I think to
Speaker 2: answer your question, Charles, I think you just gotta I
Speaker 2: mean you gotta. You gotta try to get a feel
Speaker 2: for what you can and can't get away with. I
Speaker 2: I think if you ended up actually, let me let
Speaker 2: me back up a second here. I've been here before,
Speaker 2: and this is just getting I have. I don't think
Speaker 2: I've ever said this on the air, but it's worth
Speaker 2: mentioning now that we're having this conversation. If you meet
Speaker 2: up with people to watch a game, like let's say
Speaker 2: me and my wife are gonna go meet my buddy
Speaker 2: and his wife, and our other buddy and his wife
Speaker 2: they're gonna come, and a couple of other buddies. Like
Speaker 2: if there's like eight to ten people meeting, but it's
Speaker 2: groups of like two or three collectively coming together to
Speaker 2: sit at a big table and watch a game, you
Speaker 2: need to you need to be there on time, like,
Speaker 2: because I've been there before, where I have been the
Speaker 2: guy at a table waiting for like ever and it
Speaker 2: and it's a bad look. You're out there on an island.
Speaker 2: What do you you been sitting there for forty minutes
Speaker 2: by yourself where a table?
Speaker 3: It just keep coming by.
Speaker 2: So wait so so again, if it's a place that
Speaker 2: you're a regular at and they know you and they're
Speaker 2: happy that you're there, and they know the people are
Speaker 2: gonna be coming, then I think you just got to
Speaker 2: you got to get a feel for what is going
Speaker 2: to be I guess maybe not acceptable, but what's going
Speaker 2: to be inconvenient to others that are there or the
Speaker 2: workers that are there. Holding a seat at a bar
Speaker 2: I think is fine if it's one I really do.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, If you're just waiting for somebody, then and
Speaker 4: I'm just like, yeah, I'm not going to make a
Speaker 4: big deal out of it, especially if I'm just going
Speaker 4: by myself, or even if I'm with my girlfriend and
Speaker 4: we want to go up to the bar and I
Speaker 4: see like a stool there or something, or maybe two
Speaker 4: right next to a guy and he says, I'm waiting
Speaker 4: for my girlfriend and her friend or something. And I
Speaker 4: won't to get mad at that, but I feel like
Speaker 4: trying to, like if like trying to hold out like
Speaker 4: a bar position for like six of your buddies, and
Speaker 4: they're not going to get there for another hour, then
Speaker 4: do We'll probably be faster than them.
Speaker 3: Let us just go ahead and sit here.
Speaker 2: You know who the real a holes are the people
Speaker 2: who just sit down at tables that are being cleaned
Speaker 2: off and know that there's a long wait. Like I've
Speaker 2: this isn't something I see all the time, and uh,
Speaker 2: you know, in fact, I haven't seen it in a while,
Speaker 2: but I've seen it at least five times in my
Speaker 2: You know, when it comes to going and sitting at
Speaker 2: a sports bar or restaurant waiting for a table, it's
Speaker 2: usually when you're going to a place where they're about
Speaker 2: to watch a big game and everybody's waiting and there's wait,
Speaker 2: and you're waiting to see if anybody's gonna leave. And
Speaker 2: I mean I've seen it at three different places that
Speaker 2: come to mind, where a couple of people or maybe
Speaker 2: a group of four will walk and go sit at
Speaker 2: a table that it just got cleaned off, and they'll
Speaker 2: just dare somebody that works there to tell them they
Speaker 2: can't sit there, you know what I'm saying, Because they're
Speaker 2: gonna play the card of like, oh, somebody set me here.
Speaker 1: Who uh.
Speaker 2: They walked away like they're gonna they're they're fine with
Speaker 2: it being clear on both sides that you're lying, you
Speaker 2: made it up, but they want you to I guess
Speaker 2: push the you know, it's not really forcing the issue
Speaker 2: you're you're because I mean, I've actually lost a table
Speaker 2: where we were next because somebody did that, and the
Speaker 2: staff at the restaurant didn't have the stones to like
Speaker 2: tell these people, no, you you didn't even put your
Speaker 2: name in. You just came and sat down, like we
Speaker 2: know what happened. You don't have cause. And honestly, the
Speaker 2: reason I probably don't see that anymore. And it's been
Speaker 2: a long time. I'm sure it still happens, but now
Speaker 2: that i'm I remember the last time it happened, it
Speaker 2: was many years ago. Because I think people that work
Speaker 2: in the service industry now don't have a problem by
Speaker 2: telling you you can't do that, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like they will, they'll do what's right because they know
Speaker 2: they're not in the wrong. And if you end up
Speaker 2: going to their manager or their boss or whatever, and
Speaker 2: in both like even though that manager may still like
Speaker 2: baby you as the customer they're going to know deep
Speaker 2: down you were the a hole. So those are the
Speaker 2: worst people. They just take advantage of that. They don't
Speaker 2: want they know that more often than not, nobody that
Speaker 2: works at a restaurant wants to be crappy with you.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I love that. This is the kind of stuff that
Speaker 2: gets people talk and gets the phones ring and gets
Speaker 2: the text line lit up. So that's radio right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: good stuff. Stick around. We got a lot more to
Speaker 2: go right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 1: Now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 2: We don't have a whole lot of time left here
Speaker 2: in the four o'clock hours, so let's use that we
Speaker 2: have wisely and get back to the phone lines. Five
Speaker 2: two five seventy nine hundred is the number if you'd
Speaker 2: like to give us a call and we'll welcome in. Daniel. Daniel,
Speaker 2: you're on Sports Talk seventy ninety. What's happening, Hey, guys.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was just saying, if you have three or
Speaker 5: four people meeting, uh, it's a slim chance they're all
Speaker 5: going to be on time. Because I was in the
Speaker 5: military and I'm always the first guy there. Another thing
Speaker 5: I wanted to say about this subject is the thing
Speaker 5: that the staff should say is who's next. There could
Speaker 5: be three thousand people in line, but every single one
Speaker 5: of them knows who's next.
Speaker 2: That's true. That's a really really good point. I mean,
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm an a hole when I go
Speaker 2: and I ask for a couple of updates. I ask
Speaker 2: a couple of times like, hey, you know, how much
Speaker 2: longer where are we on the list? You're right, if
Speaker 2: it was there was some more transparency there that could
Speaker 2: that could go a long way.
Speaker 7: The other thing I don't like about the lines or
Speaker 7: things like that is if when I see a guy
Speaker 7: letting his wife off in front of the restaurant, he
Speaker 7: runs in he's parking the car. Oh yeah, he's responsible
Speaker 7: for her safety that evening. I mean, they should go
Speaker 7: in together.
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying, Daniel. I appreciate the call when
Speaker 2: it comes to nobody, but you're right about nobody being
Speaker 2: on time. And that's why I usually I mean, and
Speaker 2: I don't know this this This is a very unexpected
Speaker 2: but kind of fun topic here, because if I get
Speaker 2: somewhere before my group gets there, like if I and
Speaker 2: that happens a lot of times actually, because if I
Speaker 2: meet my wife, or if I meet friends, or sometimes
Speaker 2: it's my wife and my kids are meeting me, but
Speaker 2: also some of our friends are coming to meet for dinner,
Speaker 2: and I get there first, I don't go in until
Speaker 2: others are there, and they criticize me, why didn't you
Speaker 2: go put her name in? Well, I don't want to
Speaker 2: be the guy that's the one person there when there's
Speaker 2: a party of seven or eight and they then sit me,
Speaker 2: and then I'm on an island, but I usually do.
Speaker 2: I guess more than anything, I just didn't want to
Speaker 2: go on by myself, but I guess when I can.
Speaker 2: When I think about it, maybe I'm the one that's
Speaker 2: actually just being considerate to the to everybody else, saying, hey,
Speaker 2: we're not all here together. I'm not going to go
Speaker 2: in there. You know what else irritates me that that
Speaker 2: really I don't think it's anybody's fault, but like it
Speaker 2: seems to happen pretty regularly to us where we get
Speaker 2: seated at any restaurant, is that when you're when there's
Speaker 2: a little bit of that, there's not like a line
Speaker 2: to get in, but there's there's people going out the door,
Speaker 2: and there's people like a line of it's not a
Speaker 2: line to where like you know, you got to wait outside,
Speaker 2: but sometimes just to get just to get through the
Speaker 2: entrance areas of these restaurants while you're waiting to be
Speaker 2: seated or maybe there is a slight weight, people just
Speaker 2: leave the door open, right because they're because they're kind
Speaker 2: of congregating around that front door, and they leave it
Speaker 2: open long enough to where if you're sitting near the door,
Speaker 2: you're freezing. And I'm not even kidding. This was at
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not gonna say where it was, but
Speaker 2: we were eating dinner somewhere, and we had a long
Speaker 2: table that was really close to where you check where
Speaker 2: you pay when you leave, but also close to the
Speaker 2: front door. And I happen to be at the end
Speaker 2: of the table close to the door, and there was
Speaker 2: a big party coming in, and they just left the
Speaker 2: door open because they all couldn't get in at the
Speaker 2: same time because there was like ten of them, right,
Speaker 2: so they're kind of huddled around waiting to be guided
Speaker 2: to wherever they're going to go, and they left the
Speaker 2: door open longer than most people would.
Speaker 3: That's annoying.
Speaker 2: Well, August came through, and I'm not kidding you. My
Speaker 2: hot food was cold in like thirty seconds, like yeah,
Speaker 2: like because of how long the door was open. And
Speaker 2: really it was just bad luck. Like it wasn't anybody
Speaker 2: nobody intentionally did that. But where I was sitting the
Speaker 2: way the wind came in, it hit it hit my burrito,
Speaker 2: and like no doubt, it was genuinely cold now not
Speaker 2: like to where it was frozen, but you know, it
Speaker 2: was no longer hot, fresh food. And I couldn't send
Speaker 2: it back. I mean I wouldn't. I don't do that anyway,
Speaker 2: at least I try not to. But I couldn't blame
Speaker 2: it on them. I blame it on the door, you know.
Speaker 2: So that's that's the extreme case of like, man, that
Speaker 2: really sucked. But even if I don't even have my
Speaker 2: food yet and the door's open and it's twenty degrees outside, like,
Speaker 2: it gets cold pretty quickly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, these places, that's inconvenient.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what about again? People are asking some legitimate
Speaker 2: questions that I don't have the answer to because I
Speaker 2: don't think there is a right or wrong. It's really
Speaker 2: just you know, being as courteous as possible and seeing
Speaker 2: what is going to inconvenience others, but there's really no
Speaker 2: way to know at any moment what you like. For example,
Speaker 2: this person takes a picture this somebody sent in a
Speaker 2: text message on the text line with a picture of
Speaker 2: a TV that they're looking at from their perspective. I
Speaker 2: guess maybe they sent this to other people because it
Speaker 2: was a debate. But he was watching a game, he claims,
Speaker 2: and there's somebody that was sitting closer to that TV
Speaker 2: than him but didn't have really much of a better view.
Speaker 2: But he asked for the TV to be changed. And
Speaker 2: my guy who was watching that TV who sent in
Speaker 2: says that the restaurant did it and claimed that they
Speaker 2: changed the TV because that TV was closer to the
Speaker 2: person who asked that got there later. Oh like no,
Speaker 2: now what it all comes down to it, And I'm
Speaker 2: sure you're gonna answer me as soon as I says,
Speaker 2: as soon as I asked the question, if there was
Speaker 2: no other TV for you to watch it? Like, I don't.
Speaker 2: I mean that that's that's wild, because I mean that's
Speaker 2: an easy way for the restaurant, the server or the
Speaker 2: manager to avoid conflict and say, look, sorry, you got
Speaker 2: here while this person was already watching this game on
Speaker 2: this TV, and we're not going to change it for
Speaker 2: them now because you're here. However, when they leave, if
Speaker 2: nobody's claiming that they're going to keep watching that channel,
Speaker 2: will change it for you. That probably isn't fun to do,
Speaker 2: But that's an easy thing to just say, Like, what
Speaker 2: do you want me to do? Go ahead and and
Speaker 2: change it for these people that are already here, that are,
Speaker 2: you know, eighty minutes or eighty percent of the way
Speaker 2: into their experience at the restaurant. But you know, so again,
Speaker 2: I'm going to assume that they did that knowing you
Speaker 2: still had another TV where you could see the game
Speaker 2: you wanted to see. If not, they must just not
Speaker 2: like you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's bad that I get.
Speaker 7: I get.
Speaker 4: I don't even like it. And I'm a very social person.
Speaker 4: I don't even like this. Sometimes if I'm at a bar,
Speaker 4: tell them, hey, can you guys turn it on this
Speaker 4: game or something like that. Maybe at the if obviously
Speaker 4: no one's coming in, Like I go to the I
Speaker 4: go to the dog park bar by my house. It's
Speaker 4: a dog park slash bar, so I take the dog
Speaker 4: there my kid to go run around and do all
Speaker 4: that stuff. And while she's out there playing, if it's
Speaker 4: not all that packed in there and they got a
Speaker 4: bunch of TVs. Anyways, Like, if I want to watch
Speaker 4: a game or something I'm betting on, then I'll ask, hey,
Speaker 4: do you guys mind changing it to this because there's
Speaker 4: not a lot of people and how many other people
Speaker 4: are going to be watching Eastern Washington versus Michigan.
Speaker 3: State on a Tuesday night. But if it's at I don't.
Speaker 3: I would not like that.
Speaker 4: If if I'm sitting there watching something and someone else
Speaker 4: comes in later and demands a change of channel.
Speaker 2: I I have to Again, I'm thinking about things that
Speaker 2: I have never once thought about while on the air
Speaker 2: because we're talking about it. I'll save this for the
Speaker 2: five o'clock hour, but I had I didn't have to,
Speaker 2: but I was kind of urged to just have to,
Speaker 2: like bodyback somebody one time, not me, not really, but
Speaker 2: at a restaurant they were telling me they didn't have
Speaker 2: access to a game, and like, sorry, we don't have it,
Speaker 2: but yet they had they had another game on, which
Speaker 2: means if they have this game, then they have to
Speaker 2: have the other game. Makes sense because they're within the
Speaker 2: same like package and they they kind of wanted me,
Speaker 2: like they could visibly see that I wasn't believing them
Speaker 2: and that I wasn't necessarily happy, so they just kept
Speaker 2: like overdoing it about sorry, I mean I wish, I
Speaker 2: wish we could, and I'm and finally I'm like no,
Speaker 2: like it's fine. I'm not gonna make you change it.
Speaker 2: I'm watching it on my phone, but like I know
Speaker 2: that you that that's not the case. And interesting it
Speaker 2: ended up kind of awkward, but oh, let's go. We
Speaker 2: got the bibicle Like hour next stick around right here
