The 34 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: sun came out, and we had a dry game for 35 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: an entire game, and we got to watch Indiana literally 36 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: roll Alabama out of that stadium. 37 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 4: See this is like that Predator high five, where like 38 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 4: you've got Carl Weathers and Schwartz neighbor doing that awesome 39 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 4: high five, a Tennessee fan and an Indiana fan coming together. 40 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 3: To crap all over Alabama. 41 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: I'm sure you, as a Tennessee fan, got a good 42 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: kick out of that. 43 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 3: Oh I loved it. 44 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: Man. 45 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: Then for tonight, what kind of crowd are you expecting here? 46 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: I would suggest people start heading to coach Tommy. 47 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: Beer no later than like five thirty six o'clock because 48 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: you might get left out in the dark. So it's 49 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: very exciting, very good, very exciting time for IU football 50 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: AU fans. 51 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 4: So when you get these, I don't want to say unexpected, 52 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 4: because Indiana was in the college football playoff a year ago, 53 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 4: but these kind of out of left field runs, like 54 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 4: the Pacers going to Game seven of the NBA Finals. 55 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 4: How good is that for your business? 56 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: Oh, it's amazing. I mean we you know, usually we 57 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: called the j months like January, June, July, those are 58 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 2: our slower months. The Pacers took us all the way 59 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: almost to the end of June with their run. Unfortunately 60 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: came up just short. But this is great for January. 61 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 2: We got IU they could make the national championship. Tonight 62 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: we get another week. We got a lot of exciting 63 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 2: sports right now. I mean Purdue basketball, we got Indiana 64 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: basketball didn't look too shabby. We don't know what we 65 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: got yet, but we'll see. 66 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 4: So from a bar owners perspective, how are things downtown? 67 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 4: And the reason I asked this is earlier, Well, a 68 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 4: couple of months ago, actual went to a comedy show downtown. 69 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 4: My wife and I was on a Friday night and 70 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 4: we got out of there about eleven o'clock. And this 71 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 4: was a rare like sixty degree night, unseasonably warm. I 72 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 4: did not see a lot of people outside downtown, and 73 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 4: I was trying to, you know, tell like my wife 74 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 4: and some other friends, like twenty year old me, there 75 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 4: would have been tons of people. I'd have been down 76 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 4: here downtown. It seems like it's hit or missed downtown. 77 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: Now, how is it for you? You know, there's a 78 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: lot of assumptions about downtown right now. Yeah, we had 79 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: our issues over the summer, which you know, finally that 80 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: the mayor stepped up, please stepped up and said, okay, 81 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: we're putting an end to this nonsense. 82 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: You say, finally. Was that a long process? 83 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: Well, I mean it took what a fifteen year old 84 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: getting shot and killing the streets for hawks set to 85 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: finally come out and say, oh, we have a problem. 86 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: We should probably address this. Yeah you think so. 87 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: So wow. 88 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: Ever since it's been pretty calm down here. You know, 89 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: we have we still have a IMPD patrol out front 90 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 2: Fridays and Saturdays kind of keep the peace and you'll 91 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: keep the riff raft way. 92 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: But and do you count on other bar owners to 93 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: give you heads. 94 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: Up with things?
