And I mean, 21 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.400 how fitting is it that if the rain doesn't stop, which, 22 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:06.959 by the way, I haven't left my house since earlier 23 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.480 this morning. It's disgusting outside right now, and it's like 24 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:11.719 that lingering rain that looks like it's not going away. 25 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:13.840 It's just gonna linger for the rest of the day. 26 00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:15.599 I hope that's not the case. But on your drive in, 27 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:17.480 was it disgusting for you? 28 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:18.400 John? It was? 29 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.560 And you could tell that the people on the roads 30 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.640 had not been used to driving in the rain based 31 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.239 on the fact that I was in quite a bit 32 00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:25.920 more traffic as opposed to usual. 33 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.159 Oh yeah, especially whenever we haven't had Yeah, as you 34 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.840 said that, we haven't had rain in a while, and 35 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:33.519 I mean I feel like any we could have rain 36 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:35.879 every day, then it would still cause issues with people, 37 00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.959 you know, deciding to go twenty miles per hour slower 38 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:40.920 than the speed limit and all that. But just think 39 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.359 about how cold hearted mother nature is. She's a nasty woman. 40 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.159 Because we haven't had like good rain in a long time. 41 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.840 I mean, it seems like it's been forever. I don't 42 00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:51.760 really remember the last. 43 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:53.359 Time weekend of Louder than Life because it was a 44 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:54.439 torrential downpour. 45 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:55.920 That's right, Louder than Life. 46 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.079 We got an insane amount of rain, and then I 47 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.200 don't I mean, I'm sure it's rained since then, but 48 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.719 nothing like that, and really nothing like what we have 49 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.000 going on right now. So if it doesn't stop, the 50 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:11.639 rain will have returned and will just ruin Halloween for 51 00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.039 everybody like it. I mean, if it doesn't slow down, 52 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.000 which I think the last time I checked, there was 53 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.639 like a window of like five to seven pm where 54 00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:20.680 maybe it wasn't gonna be as bad and then it 55 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.240 was gonna pick back up a little bit later on. 56 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.639 If that works out, then we're gonna be lucky. And 57 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.280 that would be I guess best case scenario considering you know, 58 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.960 how bad it's been so far today. But I mean, 59 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.280 that's that's awful, and it's again it's Mother Nature's fault. 60 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.159 She's she's a nasty woman. I mean, think about the 61 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.560 timing of that like that. It couldn't have worked out worse. 62 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:43.800 But rain some holidays, no matter what holiday it is, 63 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.400 it really diminishes the vibes of whatever it is we're celebrating. 64 00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.919 Yeah, I mean, like you can you know, Halloween, is 65 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.919 there another holiday where you kind of like you need 66 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.000 to be outside? I mean, any other holiday you can celebrate, 67 00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.879 you know, do what people typically do to celebrate that, 68 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:00.719 and you don't have to be outside. In fact, you're 69 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.520 typically not outside. But I mean, I guess maybe fourth 70 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:05.759 of July like that would be one that stands out 71 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.280 as a holiday where you'd like to be outdoors, lighting 72 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.840 off fireworks, all that kind of stuff. And you can 73 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.120 do Halloween stuff indoors, like haunted houses, and I know 74 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.719 there's trunk or treats that take place actually indoors, not outside, 75 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.719 but like going house to house trick or treating like 76 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.680 we've done as a society for I don't know hundreds 77 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.919 of years. However, long Halloween's been a thing. 78 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:26.360 I mean, you need. 79 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.280 Good weather, and we haven't had good weather on Halloween 80 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.000 in a long time. And it's a real bummer this 81 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.759 morning when I took my kids to daycare, In fact, 82 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.080 I didn't take my kids to daycare school today. They 83 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.759 were off school today and my son decided not to 84 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.680 go to daycare because he wanted to go to his nanas. 85 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.400 So I had two different drop offs this morning. And honestly, 86 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.240 the weather couldn't have been perfect, Like, it wasn't too cold, 87 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.120 it was gloomy, I mean, it had the look of Halloween. 88 00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.319 And then of course the rain came, and you know, 89 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.280 it sucks for everybody, but again we're we're expecting it 90 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.439 to slow down. Well, I haven't looked at the app 91 00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.080 in like two hours, but not looking good right now. 92 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.360 And I'm in a cave whenever I'm there at studio 93 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:02.800 with you. But I'm also in a cave when I'm 94 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:04.840 here at my house where I do the show. So 95 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.120 I have no clue. I mean, I don't have a 96 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.639 window or anything, but I'll check periodically because I mean, 97 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.199 the weather needs to improve. It would be real sad 98 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.519 if we get this consistent rain that we've had for 99 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.279 the last couple of hours, If we get that the 100 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.279 rest of the night, it's gonna be a real bus kill, 101 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.959 no doubt. All right, Lets mentioned we're gonna take you 102 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:24.839 up until six o'clock. We got a couple of guests 103 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:29.040 set to join us today, so at three twenty five ish, 104 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.199 we're going to talk to Alex Cupper. We talk to 105 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.879 cup each and every week to get set for Louisville football. 106 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.480 And he would be the one that could answer the question. 107 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.319 And it's something that I've been thrown out there, not 108 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:42.199 really as a question, but I've been mentioning it all week, 109 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.160 started on the postgame show on Friday night. Beating Boston 110 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:48.959 College is nothing to brag about, and being down twenty 111 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.639 and not even covering. I mean, it's not really an 112 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.319 impressive win in any way as far as the actual result, 113 00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.399 But I'm hopeful that Cup will confirm what I am 114 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.680 wishfully thinking, and that is that the way in which 115 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.920 they were able to dominate the game after falling behind 116 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.040 twenty to nothing. And I say dominate because again they 117 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.079 were down twenty to nothing and ended up out scoring them, 118 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.439 what thirty four to seven the rest of the way 119 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.399 or something like that. So again, it's kind of what 120 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.040 you were supposed to do. And I make quite clear 121 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.839 throughout any conversation about that game, like it's not like 122 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.160 I'm saying, Wow, they really turned the corner. But they 123 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.399 have the opportunity to use what they did there as 124 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.319 the springboard to potentially put together a complete game, which 125 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.920 they've yet to do all year. And there's no better 126 00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:37.759 time than now to put together a complete game when 127 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.639 you go on the road to play Clemson, who is 128 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.720 playing probably I mean, I would say they're playing close 129 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.920 to as good as Miami right now, but for what 130 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.480 it's worth, Clemson hasn't had the close calls that Miami has, 131 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.240 and even when Clemson's had years where they look totally 132 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.480 different than what they looked like during their great run 133 00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:00.600 there with Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence, and they're not 134 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.560 that now. But even in years where you feel like, man, Clemson, man, 135 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:05.800 they fell off like, they're still. 136 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:06.560 Winning eight nine games. 137 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.759 And even in those years where you feel like they 138 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.720 fell off further than they actually did, they still don't 139 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:13.360 lose very many games at home. So it's gonna be 140 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.279 a tough game. But with Cup, I mean, he'd be 141 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.519 the one that can you know, he can't predict the 142 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.040 future and tell us what those guys in the locker 143 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.680 room are going to do. But it has to be 144 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.920 motivating for these guys to see that they were able 145 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.160 to erase a twenty point deficit, really when it seemed 146 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.480 like the season had crumbled right before our eyes when 147 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.000 they got down twenty to nothing. I mean, I'm pretty 148 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.279 sure just about every Louisville fan watching, I know there 149 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.480 are some that are just eternal optimists and they just 150 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.120 refuse to ever accept that Louisville could lose the game 151 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.000 until it's actually over. And I'm not making fun of 152 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.920 those people. I just there's some people that are wired 153 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.879 that way. But everybody other than that group of people 154 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.759 had to think, Man, this thing really went off the rails. 155 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.879 Not only have you lost three games before we got 156 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.319 to November, but you're down twenty to nothing on the 157 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.839 road to a team that's not very good. So it 158 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:06.560 would have been easy to just mail it in. A 159 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.920 lot of teams kind of do that. I was expecting 160 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.639 them to do that, but they didn't, So again wishful 161 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:13.639 thinking on my end. We're gonna find out though, because 162 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:17.480 Saturday at Clemson, that'll be our first opportunity to see 163 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.879 this team. Since they're come from behind victory, and they 164 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.759 could play well and still lose because Clemson's good. I 165 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:26.879 just it would be another punch to the gut for 166 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.680 them to finally put together a complete game. And again, 167 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.839 when I say complete game, I don't mean play perfect, 168 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:35.560 because they're never gonna be perfect. I mean just to 169 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:40.879 avoid mistakes that seem really avoidable, Snapping the ball over 170 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:45.839 the punter's head, committing silly penalties that end your drive 171 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.399 or extend the drive for the opponent. I mean, sometimes 172 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.240 turnovers happen, but sometimes these turnovers haven't really been you know, 173 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:57.040 the defense just making a play. So like if they 174 00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:00.279 do in fact put a full game together, they play well, 175 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:02.959 and they come up just short. I think we can 176 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.839 say two things. One that that would you know, that's 177 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.720 a step in the right direction. They played a complete game, 178 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:12.519 they avoided many avoidable mistakes. But the loss there would 179 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.959 put you at what five and four, and it would 180 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.639 be again another punch to the gut, salt to the wound, 181 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.199 because you would look back on those other losses earlier 182 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.439 this year, you know, at least I would. I guess 183 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:25.120 you all can do whatever you want. But for me, 184 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.600 if they play really well, maybe they play their best 185 00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:29.519 game of the season, but they still lose because they're 186 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:31.800 at Clemson and Clemson's playing really good football right now. 187 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.919 I mean, I would go back to the mistakes you 188 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:38.240 made at Notre Dame coming out and not being ready 189 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.559 to play at all against SMU. When it comes to defense, 190 00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.440 I mean, I can't remember a team scoring as quickly 191 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.440 it's easily as SMU did on their first two drives. 192 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:47.919 Miami. You did make it. 193 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:52.039 There was a critical stretch there with the special teams 194 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.480 penalty that backed you up inside the five, and then 195 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.559 you fumbled on the first play. They scooped and scored. 196 00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.080 I mean that was That was a killer. But other 197 00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:01.480 than that, I feel like they were pretty sharp. They 198 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:02.879 were able to go back and forth. I mean, they 199 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.519 had the huge special teams play. The issue in the 200 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:08.080 second half was just you couldn't tackle anybody, and you know, 201 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:09.639 you were able to match them, but they were just 202 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.320 a little better than you offensively and you came up short. 203 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.200 So if you finally put one together and yet you 204 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:16.559 come up short, because hey, what are you gonna do? 205 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.320 You're playing at Clemson and they're a really good team, 206 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.320 I mean a little too late, right. I Mean it's 207 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:25.200 not to say they couldn't potentially finish strong and went out. 208 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.320 I mean easier said than done. But man, it like, 209 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:30.840 let's just say that's the scenario and you do end up, 210 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:34.120 you know, finishing in the ACC. Let's say you end 211 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:38.080 up beating pitt and you beat Stanford. You would finish 212 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.240 with what you finish five and three in the ACC. 213 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.399 And that's not a bad record by any means, but 214 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:47.600 it would just feel like a big letdown. I wouldn't 215 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:52.039 be panicking and worried as if, like, oh, do we 216 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:55.600 have an issue here as far as being right about 217 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:57.279 Jeff Brown not being right? You know, like, is he 218 00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.080 the guy for the job, but like is our ceiling 219 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.279 high with him? I wouldn't be worried about that. I 220 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.080 mean again, I don't know, but it would just be 221 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.720 such a frustrating result knowing that, you know, from where 222 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:09.480 I sit. Again, it's on the couch watching the game. 223 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.480 I'm not out there coaching or playing. But some of 224 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.240 the things that this team has done this year, I just, 225 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.240 you know, mistakes happened. Nobody's perfect, but they've just had 226 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.840 a blunder of issues that I just, you know, it's 227 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.240 not These aren't. 228 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:21.440 Things that you just expect to happen. 229 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.759 I mean, you don't go into a game thinking, hey, 230 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:26.440 for sure, we're going to snap the ball over the 231 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.600 punter's head. Here, our quarterback's going to take off for 232 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.559 fifty yards, probably the longest run of Tyler Shuck's career, 233 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:36.159 and then he just coughs it up. So I'm anxious 234 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.240 for this game on Saturday. I said it yesterday, and 235 00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.399 I mean it even more today. I am more excited 236 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:42.679 for this game than I have any game all year. 237 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:44.639 And it's not because I'm thinking they're about to pull 238 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.919 off their best win of the season and really get 239 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:50.200 this thing headed in the right direction as the season's 240 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:51.759 wrapping up, because I don't know if that's going to happen. 241 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.000 I mean, I believe they can. I'm not ready to 242 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.039 say I believe that they will, but I just want 243 00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:58.200 to see, and we'll find out pretty early. They're gonna 244 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:00.080 be on the road, toughest environment probably a lot of 245 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.840 these guys have ever played in, and we'll know pretty 246 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:06.080 quickly if they're if they're ready to play all right. 247 00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:07.840 Coming up at four oh five, we'll talk to Kent 248 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:12.120 Spencer from w h AS eleven.

They want to do the Halloween trick or 252 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:22.759 treat thing they do, although I guess they're going to 253 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:23.480 be doing it in the rain. 254 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.279 But yeah, we'll have our guest early on. We'll let 255 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:27.240 you guys be a part of the show. 256 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.039 You can text in anytime on the Yellen and Federal 257 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.519 Credit Union text line five O two six five three 258 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.039 zero seven ninety.

They've got beef and cheese and 275 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.440 there's I think a chicken one as well. Who called 276 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.440 in the other day. They just wanted it to make 277 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.200 fun of me for how I said to Ketos John. 278 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.279 I don't think they came on the air, but they 279 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:27.240 a random. 280 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.000 It was a random caller that just wanted to just 281 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.039 I mean, they wanted to call a radio show, but 282 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.039 not come on the air to correct me on how 283 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:33.679 I what did I say? 284 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:34.519 Tutos show? 285 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:36.480 And he was gonna make fun of you by saying 286 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:38.879 something about quiso or quaso as well. 287 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:40.000 I mean, fair point. 288 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.080 You wouldn't call it quisos, so why would you call 289 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.840 it tqutos. That's I mean, that's that makes total sense. 290 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:49.200 But like if you're gonna be on alert listening closely 291 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.759 for me to say something stupid, I mean, you're gonna 292 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.320 be You're gonna be pretty busy.

Was this correction police? 294 00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:57.320 Or were they just having fun? 295 00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:57.519 Oh? 296 00:12:57.559 --> 00:12:58.399 They were just having fun. 297 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:02.440 Okay, tell me if they were like you on the air, 298 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:03.879 but i'd tell you off these okay, good. 299 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:04.279 Good. 300 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:07.399 Sometimes people just want to call and they just want 301 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:09.399 to talk to you, Like they're not interested in coming 302 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:10.840 on the air. They just want to they want to 303 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.039 they want to make fun of me in a private 304 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.200 conversation with you while you're working. 305 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.559 I mean, it is pretty aggravating. It doesn't happen as 306 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:19.960 often as it used to, but there used to be 307 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:21.960 people who wouldn't want to come on want me to 308 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.679 forward over a message to you, and it usually is 309 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.480 something that's not that important and it would just waste 310 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:29.360 my time. And sometimes you and I are in a 311 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:31.600 conversation when it happens and throws me off of what 312 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:32.519 we were talking about. 313 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.519 Yeah, and I need some balance because you're too It's 314 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.759 not that you're too nice, but like you would be 315 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.399 well within your right to just not answer a phone 316 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:45.320 if you're in the middle of doing something with me, 317 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.320 or you know, if somebody wants to chat with you, 318 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:51.360 like you'd be well within your right to say sorry, 319 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:52.720 I'm gonna put you on hold, and then we'll just 320 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:55.039 leave them there until maybe we bring them on. So 321 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.799 you know, it's just you being a nice guy. You're 322 00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:01.679 a nice guy. My previous producer, the Marvelous One, he 323 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.960 hated callers and did not shy away from letting them 324 00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:06.279 know that. I mean, I don't think he ever answered 325 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.320 the phone and said, hey, seven ninety KRD, I hate you. 326 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.480 But like if you called and he answered, it was 327 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:13.320 gonna be pretty clear he wasn't really wanting to have 328 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:15.159 any kind of a conversation with you, and he was 329 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.200 actually mad that you that you called. So I need 330 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.120 balance because you you sometimes end up just you know, 331 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.679 having a hard time telling people, hey sorry quit yapp 332 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:25.919 and I got to go back to the show. 333 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:27.960 What you do, It's just not your nature. 334 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.120 One thing I've learned to do with people, and I 335 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:31.720 don't do it every time, but one thing I've gotten 336 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.240 better with is sometimes if we you and I are chatting, 337 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.840 I'll just see the phone screener light up and immediately 338 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:39.159 put them on hold and get. 339 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:39.600 To them later. 340 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:41.639 But sometimes they drop off. If I do that, they 341 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.919 can then won't talk to him. So I gotta find 342 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:44.960 that balance as well. 343 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.799 Yeah, well just put this there's there's never been I 344 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.279 think a caller to the show that we needed, if 345 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.240 you know what I'm saying, Like obviously you know the 346 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:57.080 postgame shows, those are caller driven, and we have we 347 00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.759 actually have some regulars now, which is, you know, I 348 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.480 think is what you'd expect with this show becoming what 349 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.200 nearly two years old now. So we've got regulars and 350 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.120 they're great, and I don't mean like that they don't 351 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.600 contribute to the show, but like you know, it should 352 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:13.320 always be like secondary thing for you because you you're 353 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.279 part of the show, right, I mean, And actually, what 354 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.960 makes me more angry than anything is when I shouldn't 355 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.360 say angry, although it is. He does bother me and 356 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.120 you know that. But like when you're on the air 357 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:27.000 and somebody just barges in your studio, is if like 358 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:28.360 there's no way you could be in the middle of 359 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:32.120 a sentence with me and it irritates me. But anyways, 360 00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:34.600 we'll move on. You remember, was it yesterday the day 361 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:36.240 before it was National Internet Day? I think it was 362 00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:38.200 two days ago, Yes, I think it was. And I 363 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:42.559 was talking about how I don't know how anybody really 364 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:44.440 did anything before the Internet. But I don't know anybody 365 00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:46.960 ever did live radio before the Internet. Like if I 366 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.399 don't have some kind of connectivity or something to reference 367 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.440 on the Internet. I mean, even my notes are on 368 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:55.120 the Internet. Like if I use Google Docs to prepare 369 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:56.720 for the show. Believe it or not, I do prepare 370 00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:01.360 for this show sometimes, but if I don't have Internet, 371 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.200 I can't access Google Docs because it's you know, it's 372 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:07.559 an Internet based document. So like, I don't know how 373 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.600 anybody did it before. And now I have Internet, But 374 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.759 like my computer, my laptop is going so slow. I 375 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:16.720 feel like I'm back on dial up. I'm gonna reboot 376 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:19.639 it during our next break but I mean it's never 377 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:21.799 I mean, maybe it's because I got like fifteen windows open, 378 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:23.639 but I usually do, like I'm not doing the show 379 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:26.399 for my end any different now than I usually do 380 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.039 whenever I'm doing it from home. But for some reason, 381 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:32.559 I can't, Like everything's loading slow, like I'm dragging things 382 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:34.320 to across my screens. 383 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:37.440 It's all the spirit's coming out for Halloween, interfering with 384 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:38.320 your internet connection. 385 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.039 I was I was editing video earlier, which does take 386 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:43.200 up a lot of my computer and does make it 387 00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.240 move a little slower, but I closed all that out, 388 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:47.399 so I don't know. Maybe I need a power down 389 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.480 power up, A good old power cycle can help us. 390 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.519 But again, like if I didn't have internet or computer 391 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:54.399 or even my phone, because I can use my phone too, 392 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:56.399 but like I, for some reason we had no connectivity, 393 00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:58.360 I would just be I don't know, I'd probably just 394 00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:00.559 I mean, I'd be sitting here spinning my wheels, not 395 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.519 knowing what to you know, not knowing what to say. 396 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.119 And it's not like I couldn't eventually think of something 397 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:09.880 Like it's not like I literally read word for word 398 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:12.839 what we say on the show. I mean, it's not 399 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:14.759 that at all. But I think it's the knowing that 400 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.200 I have lost connectivity and I'm just like a I 401 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:18.839
