I mean, I 50 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.000 wasn't late, but usually I tried to get here earlier 51 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.319 than I did today, only by you know, five ten minutes, 52 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.840 because I was in a situation that I feel like 53 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:18.960 has happened before, and I remember bringing it up on 54 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.599 the show, like I've had weird daja vu with this, 55 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.199 because let me let me share with you what what 56 00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.639 happened on my way in, and then you tell me 57 00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.520 if you remember me ever bringing this up, because there's 58 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.319 a chance I'm just completely having deja vu, or. 59 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:36.800 You know, maybe this is something that happened and I 60 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:37.719 just forgot about it. 61 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.159 Be a coincidence, by the way, r ip DejaVu, Right, Yeah, 62 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:40.719 that's what I'm saying. 63 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.000 Yeah, didn't they didn't it burn down? 64 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.000 Did they did it burn down or did they just 65 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:45.680 take it down? 66 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.759 I think it caught fire and then they just demolished it. 67 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.120 I could totally be wrong there, but yeah, that uh 68 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.199 Friday night, Yeah that was That was a gentleman's club 69 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.560 over on Taylor Boulevard, and it's the first one I 70 00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.919 went to because it was the only one that I'll 71 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:01.240 allowed you to get in at eighteen. 72 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:02.520 That's right, so here. 73 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.120 Most of the other ones are are twenty one and older. 74 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.280 I will never forget the entertainer Love that I end 75 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:11.319 up having a couple of nice minutes with. 76 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.280 And I remember telling you that was her name. 77 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:14.199 Her name was Love. 78 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:15.840 Yes, and he only gave you a couple of minutes. 79 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.360 Yes, Well, that's the best I can do, I think 80 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.080 as a personal record at the time, you need to 81 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:20.520 go see. 82 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:20.919 The men's clinic. 83 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.560 Remember I told you a couple maybe have been like 84 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.520 a month or two ago. I think I brought it up. 85 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:27.759 And I know that I saw her and like her 86 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.800 four kids at mister Gaddy's like two weeks later because 87 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:32.159 I recognized her for I think. 88 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:33.639 I told you. I think you told me that story, 89 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.039 but I don't remember if it was on the area. 90 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:36.080 It is on the area. 91 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:37.680 Okays, all right, Well, because. 92 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.719 We're talking about your we were talking about your radio 93 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.479 voice and how it could possibly translate into a strip 94 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:43.080 club detail. 95 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.240 And that's one of that's one of those things that 96 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.280 when you put it out there for the entire world 97 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.800 to know, you know you're probably gonna hear me. That's 98 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.599 a memorable thing. I wonder if she's still alive maybe, 99 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:53.879 I mean, how long has it been. 100 00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:56.159 Twelve years ago? 101 00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:00.680 The lifestyle you need, really the lifestyle that sometime, you know, 102 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:02.719 comes with those that are in that industry. 103 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:04.000 I guess maybe you're right. 104 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.199 You never know. But anyways, telling her. 105 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.840 That I was in a US Army vet so I 106 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.879 thought I could get a little discount didn't work. Huh, 107 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.400 I think it did. I think that's when I. 108 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:17.040 Oh, so she does support the truth absolutely. 109 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:19.240 You just admitted a stolen valor on the air. But 110 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.279 at a strip club, I'm not sure if that's something 111 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:26.160 people would you know, ends on Taylor Bullotard. So the 112 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.160 deja vu, not the club, but the experience I was. 113 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:33.560 I was right around the old Cardinal Stadium on sixty 114 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.399 five heading north, and there was an ambulance that was 115 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:39.560 two lanes over. I was in the fast lane and 116 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.279 two lanes over there was an ambulance and. 117 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:45.240 Their lights were on. 118 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.839 It was loud, like it was going crazy, as if 119 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.079 you would have assumed that they need to get somewhere. 120 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.040 Somebody's gonna die. So I'm kind of just standing here 121 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.800 like I can't just stop. I'm clearly not in the way. 122 00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:59.959 But it was almost like the guy driving the ambulance 123 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.040 didn't realize that he had like all the lights on, 124 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.199 which there was no way, Like, I mean, it was 125 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:07.480 it was as loud as I've ever heard, mostly because 126 00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.360 I was close. But I'm just kind of sitting there 127 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.040 looking around, like all right, like he's got the lights on? 128 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:13.680 Is he gonna go around us? And I wasn't even 129 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.879 in his lane, but like everybody was just kind of 130 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.920 hovered looking over their steering wheel seemingly like. 131 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.000 All right, is this guy like does here? 132 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.319 Because he was driving as if he was not in 133 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:25.519 an ambulance, right, like just he was just another driver 134 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.839 on the road. And sure enough, like I just kept going, 135 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.040 you know, probably like ten under the speed limit with 136 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.800 everybody else. And then I realized this guy's not not 137 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:36.759 in a hurry, because everybody's gotten out of his way 138 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.480 and he's he's just like he has it on cruise control. 139 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.319 So finally I sped up a little bit. But how's 140 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:43.959 that happen? Like what are you supposed to do there? 141 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:45.560 In fact, that's actually kind of dangerous. 142 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.800 Yeah, I mean I the. 143 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:53.920 The only time that I uh, got pulled over really 144 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:55.639 in the last I got a speeding ticket in the 145 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:57.279 last couple of years. It was the first time I 146 00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.360 ever got a speeding ticket. But prior to that, I 147 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.720 hadn't been pulled over in a really really long time, 148 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:03.759 and I'd never had a ticket. But I got a 149 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:07.879 warning because I didn't yield to a fire truck because 150 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.160 they were and it it was an issue for me 151 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.680 and I didn't like, you didn't move out of the way, yes, 152 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:20.160 but also it was they were probably responding to an 153 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.199 accident because there was ice on the road right because 154 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:25.759 it was it was like six o'clock. This is when 155 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:27.040 I was on in the morning. It was like five 156 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.600 point thirty in the morning actually, and there was black ice. 157 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.680 Like I got on the road to go downtown, and 158 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.600 then by the time I got on sixty five, I 159 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:39.680 ended up just seeing every few minutes somebody just sliding 160 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.600 just completely just like a like like they're on a 161 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.079 ice skating rink, their vehicle hitting like the media and 162 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.079 that kind of stuff. So I got off the exit 163 00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.920 and took the back roads, I mean like Preston Highway 164 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.759 essentially to get home because I just I didn't want 165 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.360 to get stuck downtown, so I ended up heading back 166 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:56.959 to do the show from home because of the weather, 167 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.519 and by the minute it got worse and there was 168 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:01.800 a I was going. 169 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:02.319 I don't know. 170 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.079 I was probably going to speed limbit. It probably slower, 171 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:05.800 to be honest with you, because of the ice and 172 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.399 the light hit yellow and I didn't. I didn't stop 173 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.600 because I feel like I would have slid, But also 174 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.560 the ambulance wasn't close enough or sorry, the fire truck 175 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.199 wasn't close enough to where they would like. If I 176 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.040 would have stopped and slid, I would have probably ended 177 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.839 up in the middle like in like you know, in 178 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:27.839 the middle of the road as they're trying to turn, 179 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.480 and I would have just been in their way. So 180 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:31.759 with the light being yellow, like, I didn't stop them 181 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:33.680 from getting where they needed in any way, I was 182 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:35.920 not in their way. I did run a yellow light, 183 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:38.040 and I think because I asked him, I was like, 184 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:39.480 did you was it because I ran the red light? 185 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:42.879 I said, I, you know, I would have expected, you know, 186 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.279 not leniency. But you know, the reason I didn't slam 187 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:46.959 on my brakes at the yellow light is because there's 188 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.120 ice here. I didn't even really think anything about the 189 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.399 fire truck because it was, you know, far enough away 190 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.600 to where I would not have I don't feel like 191 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.160 I would have you know, kept them up by any means. 192 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.160 But you know, I didn't even get a ticket, so 193 00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:58.639 I shouldn't. 194 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.000 But it's still it's still ir hates me because sometimes 195 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:02.560 when they're out like people don't know what to do. 196 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.199 Like I'm sure there are people that have been in 197 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.480 accidents because you know, everybody's just like, hey, we need 198 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:08.160 to get the hell out. 199 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:08.399 Of the way. 200 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.199 And when you're on the road, like you know, and 201 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.160 depending upon how many lanes you have, it can be 202 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.519 it can be tricky. But I don't know, I'm starting 203 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:17.439 to just think, Austin that the guy did not realize 204 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:19.000 that he had his lights on because I looked over 205 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.959 at him as he got closer because I was slowing down. 206 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:22.040 He kept going the same. 207 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:24.160 Speed, and he's just chilling, you know what I mean, 208 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.639 Like there's no I mean, no look of urgency. He's 209 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:28.680 just driving along. But yet he's got and I'm sure 210 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:30.600 there's different levels to how loud you can make the 211 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.120 sirens and that kind of stuff. So anyways, that threw 212 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.600 me off a little bit as far as just getting 213 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.080 here a little bit later than I wanted to, and 214 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.639 then my wife hit me with the dreaded text about 215 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.039 school being out for the next few days. So I 216 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.080 think Oldham County did this, or maybe it was Harden 217 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:47.039 County recently. And then today we just found out my 218 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:49.279 kids go to Bullet County Public schools, what my daughter does, 219 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:50.679 and they're going to be out the rest of the 220 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.000 week to clean the schools because everybody is sick. Do 221 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.919 you know anybody knock on Wood that has been sick lately, 222 00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:57.960 like with the flu or anything. 223 00:08:58.720 --> 00:08:59.600 No, I hadn't. 224 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:01.840 I know, I haven't, but I have, like just been 225 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:02.799 seeing on Facebook. 226 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:06.240 So this is what happens. I'm convinced. 227 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.799 I can't prove this, but like whenever you whenever you 228 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:13.399 get sick and you and you talk to your friends, colleagues, uh, 229 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.000 you know, just people, you know, whenever you get to 230 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.320 the point where you can comfortably say, yeah, there's something 231 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.759 going around, right, like the maybe not the majority of 232 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:23.480 the people you know have an illness, but like it's 233 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.399 not a surprise at all if you talk to somebody 234 00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.240 and they're down with the flu or something like that. Well, 235 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.919 I'm convinced it comes from schools because well, sure you know, 236 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:36.159 tea my daughter's teacher. You know, she'll tell us every 237 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:37.799 now and then as far as just you know, we've 238 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:39.559 got a lot of kids out because my daughter is 239 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.639 in and out with different therapies and whatnot. So it's 240 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.200 just not uncommon for her to tell us, hey, there's 241 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:45.600 a lot of kids sick, or you know, be careful, 242 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.600 make sure everybody washes their hands. Hey, if she starts 243 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.279 feeling bad, just know that we had last week a 244 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:51.320 kid in class. 245 00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:51.440 That had this. 246 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.039 So she's pretty transparent about that kind of stuff, and 247 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:55.919 she'd started to kind of hint that it was getting 248 00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.000 bad to where a lot of kids missing schools. 249 00:09:58.080 --> 00:09:59.519 So that's that's that's where we are. 250 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.120 But what I'm getting at as far as like where 251 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:06.639 usually we have a situation with the school and then 252 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.159 like a week or two later, it's it's all the adults. 253 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.759 Kids are bringing home stuff, parents are then taking it 254 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.000 to work and getting everybody sick. 255 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:14.200 Again. I can't prove it, but. 256 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.919 The timing here has always seemed to be pretty consistent. 257 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.799 That you know, usually you hear about schools having issues 258 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:23.840 with so many so many kids out and teachers too 259 00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:25.360 by the way, that's where it really gets. If you've 260 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.159 got a bunch of teachers out and they already have 261 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.240 a shortage of subs. That's when you get to the 262 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:30.799 point where they just say, Okay, we're going to cancel 263 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.799 school for the next few days and just disinfect these 264 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.159 all these schools out here because there's just nasty germs 265 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.919 getting everybody sick. But you know, now we're scrambling to 266 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.600 try to find childcare, which you know is. 267 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.679 Feel one of those things that went around kind of 268 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.840 like after Christmas, because I got pretty sick, and well, 269 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.039 I wouldn't say pretty sick, but I definitely felt it. 270 00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:54.000 And there was always a talk of what there's something 271 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.960 in the air and something spreading, and I would hate 272 00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.559 that if I got it, because I was literally just sick. 273 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:00.360 Like a month. It's ago. 274 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:02.679 I have not been like six sick in a while, 275 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.799 and I hope that that that stays the case. However, again, 276 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.399 when it comes to everybody, usually if if if we 277 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.159 get to this point where all the kids at school 278 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.240 are sick, my daughter will probably bring something home and 279 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.039 give it to me or my wife, And that's just 280 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.279 that's just unfortunately, that's just part of life, I suppose, 281 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.519 But yeah, in TI that's what they're doing. So it's 282 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:26.159 not like, I mean, it's that's the worst again. I 283 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.200 I COVID did a lot of things to change society, 284 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.600 but the doing school from home. I mean, I'm to 285 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:37.279 the point now where I feel like those who say, well, hey, 286 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.679 it's better than nothing, No, I think it actually is. Like, 287 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.519 I mean, it's not ideal for those to go to 288 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.240 work or work from home, because like it's just when 289 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.679 you throw it at somebody, Hey, we're not going to 290 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.320 have school open, so you you know, you need to 291 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:56.279 have somebody to basically do school for your for your kid. Like, 292 00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.759 it's just it's not It's not easy for a lot 293 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:00.720 of folks. So we'll make it work. I'm sure others 294 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.039 have it, you know, a lot worse than us as 295 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.440 far as just resources. We've got people that can look 296 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.799 after the little one and help her do her NTI. 297 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.960 But anyways, before we really dive in here, I'm gonna 298 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.759 remind folks of something that I do around this time 299 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:18.399 every year, and that is that college basketball season is 300 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:21.039 flying by. We are now into the month of February. 301 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.679 We are well past the midway point of the season. 302 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:26.360 In fact, we only have a month left really of 303 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:31.519 the regular season, and as somebody who loves college basketball, 304 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:34.360 this is where I get to really nerding out to 305 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.000 where like, if I know there's a game on, I'm 306 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.080 gonna think, Okay, maybe I can go to Apple TV 307 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:44.159 and start binging season two of Severance, which I love, 308 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:48.440 or other shows that you mentioned. Landman, Right, that's a 309 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:51.360 show that I want to Yeah, I want to start 310 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.000 that at some point because I keep hearing how great 311 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:56.360 it is. But but it can wait because college basketball season, 312 00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.639 I can't binge. I can't binge that later. Right, So 313 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.759 instead of you know, starting land Man, which again I 314 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.399 hear is phenomenal, I'm thinking, you know, what is that Pepperdine. 315 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:08.000 You see Irvine game on at eleven thirty on esp 316 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:09.039 and you you're damn. 317 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:11.519 Right it is, And I'm tuning in Billy Bob can wake. 318 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:14.279 Yeah, because I'm a sicko for college hoops and I'll 319 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:17.639 be so sad whenever it is it is gone. 320 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.639 And look, I've always loved college basketball, always will. 321 00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:22.840 I found a different way to kind of be a 322 00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:25.200 big nerd for the sport in the last couple of years, 323 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:27.240 because you know, the team that I care about was 324 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:31.240 essentially dead right, not relevant in any way. So this 325 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.919 season's been even more fun because not only am I 326 00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:37.000 following along and enjoying everything that comes with college basketball. 327 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:40.039 Louisville is not an elite team by any means, but man, 328 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.519 they've been fun to watch. I've enjoyed every second of it, 329 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:46.960 and they're good. The loss to Georgia Tech obviously not 330 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.960 a good loss. First time you had one of those, 331 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.679 meaning one that doesn't help your resume. And I think 332 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:55.879 they're going to bounce back. They're in Boston College. They're 333 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:58.960 at Boston College tomorrow night, and Boston College is not 334 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:02.600 a very good team, and Louisville has been pretty good 335 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:04.919 in these spots right where they've gone on the road 336 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:08.480 to play teams in the ACC that they should beat, 337 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:10.519 right Like, we saw what they did to SMU, we 338 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:13.960 saw what they did to Syracuse, to Virginia. Boston College 339 00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.480 is worse than all of those teams. So I expect 340 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:18.480 this team to bounce back, and you know, if they don't, 341 00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:20.879 I guess it'll depend on how it looks. But if 342 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.039 they win, that's really all that I mean. I don't 343 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:24.759 want to say that's all that matters because it should be. 344 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.720 But you know, with you losing to Georgia Tech, you 345 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:30.919 kind of need to beat the bad teams bad or 346 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.559 you'll continue to kind of slowly fall. I mean, as 347 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.200 we talked about last week, Louisville beat wake Forest by 348 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.639 double digits at home, a fifteen and five wake Forest team, 349 00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:43.360 and yet they fell in the net rankings, So you 350 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.320 kind of need to beat teams badly. But hey, just 351 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.240 bouncing back and getting a win, I mean, I guess 352 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:51.879 at that point it really depends on what it looks like. 353 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:52.000 Now. 354 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.240 If they somehow lose this game, then you know, I 355 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.200 don't know, I mean, that would be I don't even 356 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:56.919 want to think about it. 357 00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:59.320 But again, I expect them to win. 358 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:02.679 They've proven who they are at this point, especially against 359 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.960 opponents like this, but the visual right actually seeing them 360 00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:08.039 lose for the first time in a long time over 361 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:10.799 the weekend, I guess more than anything, it's just reminded 362 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:12.600 me that, you know what, they could slip up and 363 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:15.320 loose anybody. And I know I've mentioned that many times 364 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:19.879 over the past few weeks. Is that expecting them to 365 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:21.799 just win every game the rest of the way, I mean, 366 00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:25.360 it clearly didn't happen, and it seemed kind of foolish. 367 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:28.000 But I mean, I think they've They've been really consistent, 368 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:30.480 and I think they even came out ready to play 369 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.759 against Georgia Tech, meaning like they were good defensively and 370 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:36.919 they withstood an early run from Georgia Tech. It kind 371 00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:39.399 of took took control the game, and then they didn't 372 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:41.200 have control of the game, and then it kind of 373 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.279 just slipped away, and late game execution wasn't great. They 374 00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:46.480 missed some shots. Free throw shooting has been an issue 375 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.879 all year, So I think Pat Kelsey's going to tighten 376 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:49.399 some things up. 377 00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:51.320 And it does look as if Pat. 378 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:56.320 Was feeling the same way we felt about Chucky Hepburn 379 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:59.399 being left off of the Bob Coosey Award Top ten 380 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.399 watch list. I mean, I don't know how he's not 381 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:04.519 a finalist. He's one of the best point guards in 382 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:08.519 the country, leads the acc and assists and in steals 383 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:12.159 and oh, by the way, he's also averaging fifteen and 384 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:15.120 a half points a game. I mean, I said it 385 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.759 yesterday jokingly and again I'm not being serious, but maybe 386 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:23.080 Pat Kelsey is getting so much love deservedly so that 387 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:27.039 people watching Louisville and just seeing how much they've bounced 388 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:29.559 back from the Kenny Payin era, and they're just thinking, Man, 389 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.679 this Pat Kelsey guy, he's really impressive, which he is. 390 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.279 This guy looks like the perfect fit for Louisville. He 391 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:36.240 seems like he is. All those things are legit. But 392 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.320 maybe it has kept people from realizing that he's got 393 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:40.159 a point guard that is one of the best in 394 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:40.679 the country. 395 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:41.799 So it's all your fault. 396 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:46.080 Pat, I'm kidding, not really, but that might be an 397 00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:48.600 explanation because does not see him on there as a 398 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.840 real surprise. But anyways, the list that came out yesterday 399 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.919 from I think Jeff Borzello is the one who put 400 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.000 it out there first. As far as which ten players 401 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.919
