WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:02.439 So there is roughly nine and a half minutes left 2 00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:04.519 here in the second quarter of this Sugar Bowl match 3 00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:07.599 up between Notre Dame and Georgia. Georgia up three to nothing. 4 00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:08.679 Notre Dame. 5 00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.599 They are driving, in fact, they look to be. Yeah, 6 00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.280 they're on the looks like the twenty five ish yard line, 7 00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:20.039 so they're probably yeah, third and seven now, so maybe 8 00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:21.440 if they don't get it here, they kick a field goal. 9 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:21.879 Tied up. 10 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.519 But this game, of course, was delayed twenty four hours 11 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.960 because of the situation in New Orleans on New Year's 12 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:30.440 Eve night, so weird. I mean, I think there's In fact, 13 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.399 we had two people on the text line mentioned that 14 00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:34.200 they actually forgot that this game was even being played 15 00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:35.880 right now. So yeah, it's on if you want to 16 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:37.719 tune in. I mean, I don't want to encourage you 17 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.520 to leave this great experience that is Coffee and Company 18 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:42.399 in the five o'clock hour. This is where we shine. 19 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:44.880 So maybe you can just have it on in the 20 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.359 background and continue to listen. Or maybe you know you're 21 00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:49.200 driving home from work so you can't watch, so you're 22 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.880 stuck with us, I mean you're not You probably have 23 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:52.679 other options. In fact, I know you have other options, 24 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.439 but this is the best option, at least in my opinion. 25 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.039 All Right, so this winter weather that we are about 26 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.159 to get, that has every rush into the store to 27 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.079 get the bread, the milk, all that kind of stuff. 28 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:08.519 I think I've realized, No, I don't really even pay 29 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.640 attention to what they're predicting anymore. And this isn't not 30 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.879 trust me, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna start off 31 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.079 the year at the you know, our first five o'clock 32 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.879 segment on a Thursday in twenty twenty five taken a 33 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.239 run at the meteorologist again because you know, do it, 34 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:23.319 that wouldn't be worth it. 35 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.239 But like they're wrong often right, and. 36 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.159 Clearly it's a tough it's a tough tough thing to 37 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.680 be super accurate because you know, I don't think there's 38 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.319 any perfect meteorologists out there, So this isn't really about them. 39 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:35.519 But I just know because of. 40 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:42.000 The recent years of the build up and really nothing happen. 41 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.239 And for those who don't know my whole take on this, 42 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.959 I don't believe that that they are programmed and led 43 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:54.120 by program directors meeting meteorologists to try to scare you, 44 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:58.239 to really hype up something that they don't believe is 45 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.599 a legitimate storm because they know if you're scared and 46 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:03.400 you're worried, you're going to be more likely to tune 47 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.480 in and tuning into their product, their news. 48 00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:06.599 That is good for them. 49 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.639 So, like, I know, all that is like a lot 50 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.479 of people believe that I happen to think that there's 51 00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:15.680 enough integrity and ethics within that industry to where you 52 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.360 wouldn't you wouldn't frighten people intentionally or mislead them in 53 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.199 a big way just because you think that they're going 54 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:23.439 to be tuning in more. Now, I also think that 55 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.919 there's at least a little level of it is that 56 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:30.680 that happens just because you know it is a business, 57 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.719 like believe it or not, the more you tune in 58 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.680 because you're worried about whether, the better it is for 59 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.319 those stations. Now, again, I think you can kind of 60 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.280 know the game you're in, but also have enough integrity 61 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.680 to where you're not going to go above and beyond 62 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.159 or like really just lie because you think people being 63 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.039 scared and wanting to be tuned in will help you. 64 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.120 So what I'm getting at is if they end up 65 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:55.080 being way wrong and we were expected to get six 66 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:56.879 inches of snow or a foot of snow and we 67 00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:01.639 got nothing. They clearly get you know, get criticized by 68 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:06.000 viewers like myself because you know, why did you tell us? 69 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.840 Like how could you be that wrong? But I think 70 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.719 the ultimate like where they got to be held accountable 71 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.520 and there's something done about it at whatever level it. 72 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.719 You know, you would do something like about it at 73 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:18.919 the end of the day if weather wasn't really bad 74 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.840 and it wasn't dangerous and everybody's safe and we didn't 75 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.719 lose electricity and freeze our ass off because everything turned 76 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:25.719 to ice at. 77 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.280 The end of the day, that's good news that that's 78 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:28.039 a good result. 79 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.520 So like them being wrong is a good thing if 80 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.319 that makes sense to where like they can you know, 81 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.919 at the end of the day, if they're there's always 82 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.400 going to be that crutch for them that hey, they 83 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:41.159 were wrong. But man, it's because of this and that, 84 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:42.759 and we just you know, we just take them at. 85 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.960 Their word for it. So I think we've hit again. 86 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.520 I could be wrong here, but I feel like the 87 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.639 threat that we're under here in the state of Kentucky 88 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.520 Louisville of course as well in these next few days, 89 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:56.159 Like I feel like it's pretty crazy to see what 90 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.319 they are expecting. But I'm just somebody that now at 91 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.080 this point, I'm not even going to be keeping up 92 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.360 with it. I'll just see what happens and i'll make 93 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.639 you know, I'll make the necessary adjustments I have to 94 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.680 make as far as like my schedule with my kids 95 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.039 and that kind of stuff. But I did just get 96 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.840 an update. In fact, we all got emails here at 97 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:17.000 iHeart from Nathan Nelson, one of our vps of programming, 98 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:19.920 and he's given us I guess you know the lowdown 99 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.959 as far as what's expected from now until Sunday, which 100 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.519 apparently Sunday is when it's going to be really really bad. 101 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.680 It looks like tomorrow it'll be it'll be pretty cold, 102 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.839 but you know, nothing as far as snow, at least 103 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.920 that I can tell. Saturday really cold, but I don't 104 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.120 think we're gonna get any precipitation. But Sunday is when 105 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.199 the main storm is set to arrive. And here's what 106 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.519 is projected according to our news partners at Wokhy. Sunday morning, 107 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:51.839 snow and freezing rain develops west to east. The further 108 00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.000 north you go, it'll be mainly snow. The further south 109 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.040 you go, it's going to be mainly rain, it says 110 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.240 here Sunday afternoon, it's going to be snow, sleet, and 111 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.720 freezing rain, and it's going to increase the intensity. 112 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:02.720 The intensity will. 113 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.439 Increase as well as the coverage of where this sleet, 114 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.600 snow and freezing rain is going to hit. Looks like 115 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.800 the heaviest is expected to be, of course, the northern 116 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.160 part of this state, and it sounds like southern Kentucky. 117 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:21.040 It's going to be mostly just rain, which isn't fun. 118 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:22.959 But clearly you're not gonna have to worry as much 119 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.079 about it inconveniencing you if it's just rain. But Sunday 120 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.360 night looks like there's going to be a heavy amount 121 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.560 of freezing rain and then it turns to sleet and snow, 122 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.279 and this is where it could be pretty significant if 123 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:37.639 we get ice on the power lines and that kind 124 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:41.040 of stuff. So maybe they're right and this is a 125 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:45.079 big time disastrous type of storm. But I'm just gonna 126 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:46.720 sit I'm not saying they're going to be wrong. I'm 127 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.600 not predicting that this is another one of those everybody 128 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.600 was worried about losing power and not being able to 129 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:54.199 get out of their house for a week and it's 130 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.279 nothing like maybe it is, maybe it's not. I'm not sure, 131 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.839 but I just don't really have the energy to, you know, 132 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:03.879 to to to use two three days now to just 133 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.079 expect some big inconvenience of weather to come our way whenever. 134 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.839 I feel like, more often than not, it's either not 135 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.000 it doesn't happen at all, or it's nowhere near as 136 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.800 bad as they sometimes believe that it could be. So 137 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.839 make arrangements, I guess, if you want. But I'm somebody 138 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:22.879 that's just gonna wait and see what ends up what 139 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:24.800 ends up happening. I feel like we haven't gotten like 140 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:26.839 a real big snow storm in a long time. 141 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.839 No, yeah, it's been a few maybe at least since 142 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:31.040 about two Christmas is. 143 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:32.959 Yeah, we've had a couple of years. The last I 144 00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.360 think last year was really mild as far as snow 145 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.879 and all that. But the year before that, I remember 146 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.800 we got some really really cold temperatures and some snow, 147 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.600 but it wasn't like we had an enormous amount of it. 148 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.720 It just it was so cold that you know, I remember, 149 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.720 my driveway is a big hill and we've been there. 150 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:50.319 I guess this is our third winner now, and I 151 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.360 know two years ago there was I mean, there was 152 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:54.240 about a week I think to where it never got 153 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.759 above like twenty degrees. I feel like, yeah, and that 154 00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:58.560 led to where I could not get up my driveway 155 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.079 until it finally got Oh that's brutal. 156 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:02.800 Yeah, it wasn't fun. 157 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.160 In fact, I think I ruined some tires just trying 158 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.319 to trying to be a tough guy, just trying to 159 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:09.199 get up there, and it didn't work out, and I 160 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.759 learned to learn the hard way when it comes. 161 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:14.040 To I just hate driving during the when it's all 162 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.120 icy and and well, don't get me wrong, I do 163 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.279 like the nice calmness that snow brings, especially if you're 164 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.839 sitting out there washing it or if you're just watching 165 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.279 it and then like it's falling gracefully and it's like 166 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.480 a soft snow. But the days that are after that 167 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:29.439 and then it just starts to get all like brown 168 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.920 and melted, and then it's all slushy and gross. That's 169 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.639 what I can't stand. And for whatever reason, some of 170 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.079 the roads don't seem to be treated. That's what I hate. 171 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.600 Yeah, I think I've always and I think there used 172 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.199 to be more people at least that I you know, 173 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.279 and maybe this is still the case. But I think 174 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:46.920 there are a lot of people who don't like the 175 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.079 winter and don't like cold weather, and like, I totally 176 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:49.360 get it. 177 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:50.240 I'm in the minority. 178 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.240 I don't mind winter, and I think this time of 179 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:55.439 the year is you know, not only just because the holidays. 180 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:55.920 But I'm just a. 181 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.360 Weirdo to where I really enjoy the cold months. When 182 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.160 it gets dark early, it's what, it's nightmare fuel for 183 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:03.639 a lot of people, but I just tend to like it. 184 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.560 I don't really know why, but again it's just I 185 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:06.079 guess I'm just. 186 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:06.439 A weird though. 187 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.240 I'll take this over sweating my ass off, you will any. 188 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.240 Day save here, like I don't. I don't. I don't 189 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:11.959 really like the summer. 190 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.160 There's awesome stuff that comes with the summer, yeah, but 191 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.120 like heat, humidity, like I just and it's such a 192 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.519 downtime for sports for me. So like I just, I'm 193 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:21.079 not as big on the summer as a lot of people. 194 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.040 But if it's gonna be cold, which we're gonna get 195 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.560 cold winters around here, maybe sometimes it'll be a little 196 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.879 bit more mild, Maybe some years it's gonna be arctic. 197 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:32.960 But I'm of the I just if we're gonna get 198 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.519 cold weather, let's let's get snow. Like I've always had 199 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.320 the mindset of that. I mean, if it an't if 200 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:40.000 it if it inconveniences people in their livelihood, like if 201 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.000 you know, if it keeps you from being able to 202 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:43.679 go to work and you lose money, then that's one thing. 203 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:45.519 If your kids miss school because of it, and that 204 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.320 inconveniences you like, I get all that, but the only 205 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.039 thing that sucks when we do get the snow is 206 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.799 one how roads can be really bad, but also man 207 00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:56.120 whenever it's like a slow melt to where you briefly 208 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:59.039 get above freezing, but then you know, it gets right 209 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.039 back to freezing and you just got like the dirty 210 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.399 snow that people have been walking in and then it refreezes. 211 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.159 That's just gross. 212 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:04.919 Yeah, I hate that. 213 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.000 And it sounds like that maybe what is coming our 214 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.440 way if if the predictions are correct to where we 215 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:14.039 get a lot of it and you know it ends 216 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.840 up being warm because it's gonna be right around freezing. 217 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.480 It looks like on on I guess the weekend, but 218 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:22.039 then I guess the real threat here is that by 219 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.399 the time we get to late Sunday and on Monday, 220 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:29.039 whatever whatever we get as far as snow, sleet, whatever, 221 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:31.000 it's gonna be so cold in certain areas that it's 222 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:32.600 gonna freeze. And that's where you get into the real, 223 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.840 real danger zone. But I've never personally been really impacted 224 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.919 by a snowstorm to where I didn't have power, and that. 225 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:40.919 That's really where it gets scary. 226 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.360 Right if you're if you're snowed in, but you have 227 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.840 electricity and you are warm, you're probably gonna get bored, 228 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.840 maybe get stir crazy. But like I kind of like 229 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:51.600 the thought of being snowed in. Yeah, it's kind of cozy, 230 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.279 it's kind of fun, relaxing. 231 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.080 Considering all the elements. 232 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.200 You still have everything, and you're not just sitting there 233 00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.240 and can total darkness because you don't have electricity. 234 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:00.679 Yeah, that's where gets scary. 235 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:04.039 So again, wherever you're located, I'm sure you're keeping up 236 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.559 with it as well, and you know, we'll see what happens. 237 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.759 That's kind of It's kind of where I'm at real quick, 238 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:10.600 before we dive back in and start talking about the 239 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:12.960 things we've been discussing this afternoon, obviously a big win 240 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.200 for Louisville basketball last night. Great performance from this team, 241 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.159 got a big commitment form Mikil Brown. We've also talked 242 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:20.799 a lot of football. I do want to remind you 243 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:23.279 of a feature on the iHeart Radio app that I 244 00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:26.440 kind of forgot about. This is not relatively In fact, 245 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.399 this has been around for a few years and I 246 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:30.039 used to mention it every now and then, and then 247 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.519 I kind of I don't know, I guess I forgot 248 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:33.159 about it. But there are many of you that listen 249 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.799 to this show on the ihet Radio app, and that's 250 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:40.480 because you know, we and for those who don't realize, 251 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:44.080 before streaming radio stations was a thing, I mean, it 252 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.799 wasn't a thing, and iHeart made it made it a thing, 253 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.279 which that's why the company used to be called clear Channel, 254 00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.600 and then once they created an app where you can 255 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.679 stream live radio stations anywhere as long as you have 256 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.960 some connectivity, it's kind of a big deal at that time, 257 00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.679 which is why there's still stations that aren't iHeart radio stations. 258 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:01.639 But yeah, they pay Oheart Radio to have their station 259 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.279 on the app because that's where people go to listen 260 00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:06.360 to live radio on their device. There's others out there 261 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:07.960 that can give you the same thing, but I heeart 262 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:11.919 is is the big stick, as they say. So there's 263 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.120 a lot of people who listen to iHeart Radio and 264 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.200 when they listen to this show and be listening to KSR, 265 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.519 maybe you listen to Tony and dwight On has But 266 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.720 if you go to you if you pull open the 267 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:22.679 app and I'm gonna do this, but I gotta turn 268 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:23.480 my phone down because then. 269 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:25.759 They'll be a really bad like delay because. 270 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.440 Whatever I'm going to get from the app right now 271 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.519 is going to be, gosh, no joke, probably two minutes 272 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.840 behind what where we are live. 273 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:35.559 That's just how it works with the stream. 274 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:37.440 But right now again, if I pull it up here 275 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.000 and I'm and I've got the app open, and it 276 00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:44.960 shows that I'm that I'm listening to Sports Talk seven ninety. 277 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.240 At the top right, you've got the stop button that's 278 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.679 black that you know, of course, you hit stop if 279 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:51.399 you if you want to stop listening to us, which 280 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.240 is funny, who would want to stop listening to us? 281 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.200 But to the to the left of that black stop button, 282 00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:00.840 there's a red microphone button. If you click on that. 283 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:04.000 What that does is it gives you the chance to 284 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:07.440 You have to first open up access to your microphone 285 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.600 from this app, which a lot of apps do that, 286 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:12.919 then you can hit you Once you've allowed the app 287 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.960 access to your microphone, you can then record whatever you want. 288 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:18.960 Like let's say you want to call in, but you 289 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:20.399 don't want to wait on hold, you want to call 290 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.320 in and ask a question, you want to insult me, 291 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:24.720 Like you know, this is just a way to interact 292 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:26.600 with the show that like I kind of forgot about. 293 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.840 But I would imagine as more and more each day 294 00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:32.240 we seem to kind of shift to the digital side, 295 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:34.879 meaning if you're not in your car, you're probably listening 296 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:37.960 to this live on the iHeartRadio app. You can be 297 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.279 a part of the show by just clicking that button 298 00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:43.399 and recording your take, your question again, your insult, whatever 299 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:45.879 you have. So I'm going to start mentioning that throughout 300 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.600 early on here in twenty twenty five and not really 301 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.559 sure what to expect, but maybe that becomes maybe not 302 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:54.000 the most convenient. 303 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:54.360 Way to be a part of the show. 304 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.759 I'd still say our text line is is I mean, 305 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:58.440 there's a lot of riff raft that comes in, but 306 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.480 it's also a pretty good resource to include interaction from 307 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:02.960 the show. But this could be the same thing. This 308 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:04.840 could be to where like, hey, we went to break 309 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:08.879 and five people recorded something in the in the talkback 310 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:12.279 of the app, and it's really cool. How I log 311 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.840 into my system here at ihearten and anything you send 312 00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:15.600 is just right there. 313 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:17.639 So have at it. 314 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.279 Fire away again what I always say when it comes 315 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.720 to calls and texts, questions, complaints, compliments, insults, whatever you've got, 316 00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:30.000 fire away And we can now include that in the 317 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:31.919 talkback feature. All Right, we'll get back into the little 318 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:34.840 basketball stuff here on the other side. And I haven't 319 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:36.159 got to it yet, but I've been mentioning it. We 320 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.759 certainly need to talk about the NFL MVP Award because 321 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:40.559 I don't I just don't get the feel that Lamar 322 00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:42.559 is gonna win it. I think he should, and yes 323 00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:44.960 maybe I'm biased, but like, if he doesn't win it, 324 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:46.480 I'm not going to lose my mind because I know 325 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.639 how this works. It's not because like people are plotting 326 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.519 against him. It's just that you know, when you win 327 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.120 it twice and you've set the bar as high as 328 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:56.759 you have, even though you're having a really good year 329 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.320 this year, maybe the best year ever. When it comes 330 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.799 to stats, they're gonna want to give it to somebody 331 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.600 who hasn't won it before. And I don't like that, 332 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.000 but that's just the way it is. Kind of like 333 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.240 the Heisman. Lamar could have won the Housmand twice, but 334 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:10.159 you're never going to see somebody win that or twice. 335 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:13.080 It's just not for right or wrong. It's just how 336 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.320 it is, all right, quick break, keep a lock right 337 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:16.279 here on Sports Talk seven. 338 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.919 Ninety now back to coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's 339 00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:22.919 On Sports Talk seven nine. 340 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:27.639 Day, so I mentioned the talkback feature that I was 341 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:29.879 telling folks they could utilize if they want to be 342 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:31.200 a part of the show and contribute. 343 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.240 You don't have to call weight on hold. 344 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.759 You can literally just use thirty seconds and give a take, 345 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.600 ask a question, insult me if you'd like, maybe compliment me. 346 00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:43.919 Those those work as well. Probably not as good for 347 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.159 the show, but it look nice today. Thank you appreciate that. 348 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.799 Yeah, I mean compliments. I'll probably just listen to them 349 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:50.480 to to help my ego. I won't play them on 350 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:51.879 the air because I know a lot of people wouldn't want 351 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:53.840 to hear that. But I just did a little testing 352 00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:56.200 on my end with it, and it doesn't keep your numbers, 353 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.080 so like this is a way for you to I mean, 354 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.120 I'm in the back end accessing what comes in to 355 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.320 this station and our other stations just from my log in, 356 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:04.960 and there's no like, I don't it doesn't show your 357 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.639 number or anything. It just all we know is that 358 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:10.519 you know what you recorded came through and we can 359 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.720 play it. So I hope it takes off because again, 360 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:15.480 I know a lot of people maybe don't want to 361 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:17.919 call in and wait. Maybe they just don't like they 362 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.080 maybe they don't have time, maybe they don't have maybey 363 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.000 don't want to. But if you want, in fact, this 364 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:24.679 could be the This could be a quicker way for you. 365 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:26.919 If you're in your car and you're driving, and you 366 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:28.799 know you shouldn't be texting and driving, so you won't 367 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:30.639 text into the text line. You don't want to call in, 368 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.399 so you just get out the app and hit that 369 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:36.600 red button and you can record whatever you want, say 370 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:38.200 whatever you want, and maybe it gets on the air. 371 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:39.679 Maybe that's you know that. I think in a way, 372 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:41.399 it could be one of the more convenient ways to 373 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:44.559 uh in better ways to have interaction here on the show. 374 00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:45.879 But there's a lot of ways for you guys to 375 00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:46.919 be a part of the show. I just wanted to 376 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:48.200 mention that one as a as a new one, and 377 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:50.960 I wanted to let you know that this is the 378 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:52.919 only way I think you could ever interact with us 379 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.080 via your phone, and we don't have your phone number 380 00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:57.600 if you're worried about that, which I don't know why 381 00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:59.240 anybody would, but some people are kind of, you know, 382 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.279 parade about that kind of stuff, all right. Currently in 383 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.799 the Sugar Bowl, of course, the college football playoff game 384 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:07.960 that was delayed until today, you've got the two minute warning, 385 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:10.679 or it's the two minute warnings at the time. 386 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:13.080 Out, so a two minute time out now the ten 387 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:14.879 minute warning is owned by the NFL. 388 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.840 Oh, you can't call it that, right, that makes sense. 389 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:19.039 So it's tied at three. We're tied at three apiece 390 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:21.559 here and Notre Dame is driving with the ball. Looks 391 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:24.600 like they're about midfield I think, or released close to it. 392 00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:25.919 So we'll see. 393 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.960 Been a close game throughout, low scoring, and I would 394 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:30.919 have I mean, if you're Notre Dame, you got to 395 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:33.399 be feeling pretty good about where you are right now. Obviously, 396 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:35.600 you're not in the driver's seat. You could easily lose, 397 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:37.240 and it could get you could get away from you. 398 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.679 But two minutes left, you're just tied at three at 399 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.960 three apiece. The quarterback, who, of course, is spilling in 400 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:46.240 for the injured what's his name guy's been there forever, 401 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:47.080
