Now. Louisville plays on Sunday at eight 30 00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.400 o'clock Austin Montgomery. You okay with that, because I got 31 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:42.920 to tell you, I think I'm in the minority. I 32 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.840 love a Sunday night game.

Oh no, 48 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.639 well actually no, no, here's what happened. They played Duke 49 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:29.400 on a Sunday. They played Carolina on New Year's Day, 50 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.080 which was a Wednesday. But because we had the holiday 51 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:33.520 break and then we had to go back to work, 52 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:34.840 that Wednesday felt like a Sunday. 53 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:36.039 Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. 54 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:37.000 Yeah, it was one of those. 55 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.599 So anyways, we can just watch college hoops. 56 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.159 Actually have a birthday party tomorrow for my daughter. 57 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:44.360 We're going to go skating. It's going to be a 58 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:44.960 lot of fun. 59 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:46.039 Happy birthday. 60 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.120 I have not and by the way, she's living it up. 61 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:49.199 We have celebrated her. 62 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.680 Her birthday is February the eighth, and I'm pretty sure 63 00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:56.159 this will be like our fifth celebration in some former fashion, 64 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.919 which hey, you know, she's certainly not going to tell anybody. 65 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.560 She doesn't want to celebrate your birthday. 66 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:02.599 That's her birth month. 67 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.719 When's the last time you went you went skating? Like 68 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:07.599 I like, not ice skating, but like roller skating at 69 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:08.240 a skating rink. 70 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.680 Maybe when I was probably probably Maya's age, maybe when 71 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.199 I was in like elementary school. 72 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:17.120 Was it a thing to do when you were a 73 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:18.599 kid like socially. 74 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.599 I think it was like just getting out. I remember 75 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.000 a couple of nights like going out like my mom 76 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:25.759 and her front, like they made it like a big 77 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.039 deal to go there. I just could never skate, so 78 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.039 always stayed in that like small little corner where they 79 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.639 just have like a block off for it, and I 80 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:35.479 just I just never did it. I was always too 81 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.599 scared to fall. I was too scared to fail as 82 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:37.960 a kid. 83 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:42.280 I don't I could be totally off here. I feel 84 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.599 like there can't be that many skating rinks still around. 85 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.439 I mean, I don't know too much. There's the. 86 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:49.400 Man. 87 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:51.120 It was the thing to do when I was a kid. 88 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.599 So when I was in gosh really fifth sixth, seventh grade, 89 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.759 that range if we were doing something socially like going 90 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:03.000 somewhere the movies always was was an option. But we 91 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:05.039 didn't have a movie theater close to us whenever I 92 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:08.039 was a kid, so we would have to really hike 93 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.479 it from Bullet County, you know, out in the in 94 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.919 the suburbs and we would have to get a ride 95 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.479 to like Stony Brook, which wasn't which wasn't that convenient 96 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.480 for our parents. Then they ended up putting one in 97 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.639 near where we live. That I think they put it 98 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.040 in towards the end of my high school years. But anyways, 99 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.680 skating and bowling. We had a bowling alley and we 100 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.160 had skating and that was kind of what we did 101 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:29.759 whenever I was young, that if you could get your 102 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:31.720 parents to drop you off at skating, you get four 103 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.519 hours same thing bowling. That would be global and it 104 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.040 would be it. It'd be a lot of fun. And 105 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.279 maybe that's still a thing and kids still do that, 106 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.319 but it was a lot of fun. But yeah, I've 107 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.720 she loved skating. So we're going to have her party 108 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.680 at one of the skating rinks here in Louisville. I 109 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.199 can't think of the name of it, but she is. 110 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.680 She's remembered each of the last few skating parties that 111 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.439 she's had. Because we sometimes go with her school as well, 112 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.519 they'll have a little I think it's like once one 113 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.639 time before for Christmas break, and then one time after 114 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:03.839 Christmas break, her school will have like a night at 115 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.000 the local skating rink, and she loves that we go 116 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.000 and it's a lot of fun. But she knows that 117 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.360 I've never I've never skated before whenever I'm with her, 118 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.079 and she's been on me about it. So I'm gonna 119 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.680 have to actually skate. So long story short, if I 120 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.480 somehow break my neck, I'm gonna leave coffee and company 121 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:21.639 to you. All right, It's it's yours if skating ends up, 122 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.040 you know, either killing me, which I don't think that 123 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:25.519 would be the case, but you never know. 124 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.240 I mean, I are you nervous to skater? 125 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:29.120 Yes? 126 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.480 And no not because like I'm not nervous about like 127 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:36.800 embarrassing myself. Yeah, but you know, like I'm old enough 128 00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:42.000 now to where just skating even if I don't try 129 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.079 to go fast. But I'm just you know, let's say 130 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.920 a very mild afternoon on the rink where I'm just 131 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:50.879 kind of you know, I'm skating, but I'm not really 132 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.480 giving in my all. I'll be using muscles that I 133 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.199 don't typically use, and I'll be sore, and that's what 134 00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.040 I don't want because I'm getting old, you know what 135 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:00.680 I mean?

Okay, I don't know if you've had some on 192 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:10.000 air winners for last week. 193 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:14.839 So this has to be like this isn't just a 194 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:17.000 big deal here, like people come from all over it 195 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:17.600 seems right. 196 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.240 Yes, there's a lot of people there. 197 00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:20.120 So. 198 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.560 At first I just thought it was something that you know, 199 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.439 people in the area that of course that their industry 200 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:29.720 is farming and whatnot that they but you can tell 201 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.120 one there's a lot of I mean there's a lot 202 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:35.120 of people downtown walking around, more so than I'm used 203 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.159 to seeing whenever I come in for work or when 204 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:37.559 I leave. 205 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:42.320 But for Street Live, they have our They do it right. 206 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.240 I mean, they do it the right way as far 207 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.240 as what makes sense for them from a business standpoint. 208 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.080 I don't like it, but I get it, Like they're 209 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.159 not necessarily going to be open twenty four I mean honestly, 210 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:53.679 like during the day, they're not open, Like there's not 211 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.399 anything open down here, maybe other than Guy Fieri's. And 212 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.399 it's just because to have people there working whenever you 213 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.720 just don't get huge crowd, it wouldn't make a lot 214 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.720 of sense. So when you have events like this, things 215 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.559 that bring people to town, I mean that's when four Street's packed. 216 00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.879 So like when I get here yesterday and even today, 217 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.559 like there's kind of already people mingling in four Street Live. 218 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.120 And when we leave, I mean there's already, like yesterday, 219 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.519 there was already a line to get into is it PBR. 220 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.559 This is across the way here, yes, And that, by 221 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.320 the way, that's exactly where you would expect people who 222 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:23.919 want to go out to a bar to go is PBR. 223 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.320 And they put in like a like an outdoor little 224 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.039 bar area like they put up some towny. 225 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.120 So look, I just I love where we are as 226 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.759 far as our studio. I think it's cool that we're 227 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.120 in four Street Live. It's also kind of nostalgic to 228 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.200 know that I'm sitting here as we speak, in front 229 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:42.120 of this microphone and in what used in the exact 230 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:43.320 same spot I'm sitting now. 231 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:45.240 This used to be a bar, and I'm pretty sure 232 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:46.000 like this was. 233 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.600 Like the I've probably had many drunken nights five feet 234 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.120 from where I'm sitting right now, many many many years ago, 235 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:54.960 and it's just kind of wild to think about that 236 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:55.279 we are. 237 00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.159 So have you ever been to Tango? Said cantina or something. 238 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:00.720 We just called it tango, But that was a bar 239 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.679 that that that was that was pretty pretty popular. I 240 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.840 feel like whenever I guess maybe ten years ago, roughly 241 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.799 around that era, and uh, it shut down. So if 242 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:11.559 you know what I'm talking about when I say tango, 243 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:13.360 just think of like that bar. 244 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.360 It's now our iHeart location. 245 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:16.799 Here in downtown louisvill which is pretty It's a pretty 246 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.039 sweet set up, but anyways, there's just better vibes whenever 247 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.200 there's more people are out and about downtown. Like yesterday, 248 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.320 when I walked out, there was a guy who at 249 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:27.240 six point fifteen looked to already be pretty deep into 250 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:30.799 the beers, and he looked at me when I walked 251 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:32.840 out of our building, and I guess he just noticed that, Hey, 252 00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:35.600 that's an iHeart place, and he said, hey, fellas Ryan 253 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:40.519 Seacrest in there, and I said, no, he's not. Where's 254 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.840 he at? I'm like, well, he doesn't work here, And 255 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:44.519 I think he knew that. 256 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.440 He just he just wanted to. He just wanted to 257 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.279 see what. You know, what I had to say? 258 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.240 I guess but yeah it shed said, no, Ryan Seacrest 259 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.039 not here, but I'll go get Bobby Bones for you. 260 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:54.120 How about will that here? 261 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.960 You go so I'll be here.

But there are days where the company 298 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.919 as a whole and there's a lot more people that 299 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:22.960 work for this company in a variety of different roles 300 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.960 that are not on air people or producers. So, and 301 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:27.759 I'm not talking about just people here, I mean I'm 302 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:29.440 talking about all of the world who work for iHeart 303 00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:32.159 to where this is a holiday that that the company 304 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:35.840 is shut down for, but the on air is still 305 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.360 like programming is still on.

Maybe 316 00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.320 they can help us out. We'll see, all right. So, uh, 317 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.679 what I wanted to get into as we get this 318 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:06.559 thing started is bracketology. And I am enjoying looking at 319 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:10.960 every single bracketology update that's out there from anybody. In fact, 320 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.039 I've seen some that takes me a few minutes to 321 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.440 look at it to realize, Okay, this is clearly somebody trolling, 322 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.399 like this is not really what any bracket. 323 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:18.679 Would look like. 324 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:21.440 But either way, Louisville being back in the mix for 325 00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:23.919 the tournament clearly right now looking like a tournament team 326 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:27.519 if it started today, that has me excited and I 327 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.480 was doing I wouldn't say a deep dive at Louisville's 328 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.600 resume because it really I don't even know how you 329 00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:35.360 would do that, because it's actually pretty easy to figure out. 330 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.799 I mean, when you break down their resume, what makes 331 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:45.120 it impressive, what might be slightly concerning? What is you know, 332 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.080 where they are with the net, the kin palm, that 333 00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:47.840 kind of stuff. 334 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:48.320 Like. 335 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.480 I think I have a pretty good idea of what 336 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.519 the best case scenario for Louisville is the rest of 337 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:55.960 the way, and I want to get into that. Also, 338 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.919 the latest update from Joel and already has an interesting 339 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:02.320 potential match up in the second round that we'll get 340 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:03.559 to coming up here just to moment, but I do 341 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:04.960 need to let you know we are fueled by Thornton, 342 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:06.879 so make sure you sign up to become a member 343 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:09.679 of the Thornton's Freshman Awards program. If you have procrastinated 344 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:12.480 as far as getting your significant other a gift for 345 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:16.240 Valentine's Day, they don't sell greeting cards at Thornton's and 346 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:18.679 if you waited this long, you're probably in trouble when 347 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.799 it comes to that. But just know Thornton's has gift 348 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:22.600 cards to all kinds of different places. I mean, you 349 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.720 could get them a Thornton's gift card. There's nothing better 350 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:27.480 than that. But they also have gift cards to other businesses, 351 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:29.200 So just keep that in mind. I'm sure there's somebody 352 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:32.159 listening right now that realized, oh it's Valentine's Day and 353 00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.960 I got nothing for my wife or nothing for my 354 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.360 husband or whatever it may be. So again, we are 355 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:42.600 proudly fueled by Thornton's. So tomorrow we will get the 356 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:48.919 annual early snapshot of the bracket from the NCAA Selection Committee. Now, this, 357 00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:51.840 like it always is, is only going to be the 358 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:56.840 top sixteen sixteen teams, so seeds one through four. We'll 359 00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:58.480 find out who that is tomorrow. And I think we 360 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.120 have a pretty good idea as far as who the 361 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.960 majority of those fourteen teams are going to. I'm sorry, 362 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.080 sixteen teams are going to be. But for Louisville, like 363 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:10.399 right now, I would say, just you know, again, none 364 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:10.840 of us know. 365 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:13.200 And by the way, I will give Leonardi some credit. 366 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:17.360 He is somebody that has started to be transparent from 367 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:21.519 his perspective, and he's not He's not doing what he 368 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.360 would do if he was on the committee. 369 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:27.200 He is actually doing all this bracketology. 370 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:28.480 And I think this has always been the case, but 371 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.440 I've always wondered, are you saying what you would do 372 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:32.279 or are you saying what you think the committee's gonna do? 373 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.639 And he has been a little bit more informative as 374 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:38.879 far as how he comes to his updates as far 375 00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:42.399 as the bracket. He's basing it off of previous seasons 376 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.039 as far as what the committee has done. And it's 377 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:46.360 not the same committee every single year. But the process 378 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.120 as far as who you know, the process as far 379 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:51.480 as whoever it is that comes to how they see 380 00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:53.519 teams has really been the same for a long time. 381 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:57.039 So for Louisville, he's got him currently as a seven seed, 382 00:15:57.399 --> 00:16:01.600 and I would say that's probably a safe assumption right 383 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:03.639 now that there are seven. I wouldn't be shocked if 384 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:05.799 they're an eight. I don't think right now they would 385 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:08.519 hit the sixth line, and I don't think right now 386 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:10.360 that they would fall as far as an eight. So 387 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:13.080 I think, you know, just guessing, I would say they've 388 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:17.000 got a seventy five percent chance of being a seven 389 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:20.480 seed currently and twenty five percent chance of being an eight. 390 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:26.360 By the way, how about this, He's got Kentucky as 391 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:27.960 a let's see, where is it? 392 00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:29.320 I just saw it? Where are they at? 393 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:30.600 Where are they at? 394 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.960 Because yeah, he has Kentucky as a three seed in 395 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:38.000 the South region, and the one seed in that region 396 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:42.639 would be Auburn, and two seed would be Houston, and 397 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.879 the four seed in that region would be who is it? 398 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:47.440 Michigan State? 399 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.679 So Arkansas is apparently one of the last teams in 400 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:54.440 currently according to Lenardi. In fact, they're the second to 401 00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:56.879
