You could be 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.920 our Whiskey Thief Call of the Day text line. Billy 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.079 has that, so don't bother texting that unless you just 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:21.000 want to talk to Billy while he's on vacation. He 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:22.640 probably has the phone line shut off though, so I 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.640 wouldn't bother.

And yesterday Ryan Lemon filled in, so he 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:38.480 did his service to the pre show yesterday. 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:40.800 Today it's a Bullet County takeover. 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.839 We're bringing in the most talented radio guy in all 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.199 of Bullet County, mister Nick Coffee, who you know just 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.279 transitioned over to the new morning guye job at eight 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.480 forty whas I'm dragging him back to seven ninety KRD 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.520 for one day. Nick, I won't let you escape KRD. 0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.760 You're right back here. You just did your final show 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:01.640 for now. You're right back here on Tuesday. 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.600 Yes, it was one workday that I was gone and 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:08.240 here I am back again, but certainly happy to be here, 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.160 certainly happy to be a part of a Bullet County takeover. 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.200 And thank you for the kind words. I heard you 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:15.959 and Billy give me the shout out last week and 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.160 again appreciate that. But the more I hear people just 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.640 kind of missed you. It's a mystery to them. 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.000 So you just talk for three hours just. 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:27.680 You, and it sounds initially as if like Wow, they're 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.080 pretty impressed, but then they're like, there's no way that 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.880 could be good radio, just you for three hours. 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.120 I want to ask you about that, because you know, 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.440 like in radio, there are very few people that have 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.600 the talent to where they could talk by themselves for 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.360 three straight I mean I can maybe do it an 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.120 hour if I had a producer, which I do not have. 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.680 So it's just me trying to host, trying to produce 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:52.280 by myself, and I'm like, I can't do that. I 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.800 got to have somebody in here with me. And you 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.960 did it for correct me if I'm wrong. Nine years 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.720 on KRD by yourself for three hours every day. 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.600 Yeah, so I got higher. Yes, you are correct. I 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.280 mean I had a producer throughout the entire time, and 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.000 at times there would be some involvement and even when 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.520 there wasn't as far as bringing anything to the table 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.920 when it comes to ideas, content, that kind of stuff. 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.760 If I had a producer that never wanted to speak 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:21.280 and you know this, and there's people who worked here 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:22.840 that do a great job, but they make it clear 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:26.519 they don't really want or need to be mentioned or 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.080 on the air at all. They just they don't want to. 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.240 But I would, I would find a way to just 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.359 mention it, because it's almost like I was manipulating the 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.840 audience if they just hear me and I don't acknowledge 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.000 there's another human, it's like I'm on an island by myself. 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.080 So you know, there's a lot of resetting and of 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.760 course mixing in as much interaction as you can. But yes, 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.799 when I got hired, I was so excited to be 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.800 able to leave what I was doing previously. I was 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.600 enjoyed my career. Prior to radio, I worked in software. 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.320 But when I got an opportunity, I was, you know, 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.360 over the moon to get a chance to make this 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.160 what I do at least attempt to do it. And 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.040 it didn't hit me until I got here the first 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.960 day and I was prepared, but you know, three hours 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.080 is a long time. Yeah, And I didn't want to 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.440 have a bunch of guests just to have guests, because 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.080 I don't think I'm very good at having a conversation 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.480 with somebody when I have really no not to say 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.000 I don't have any interests, but I didn't want to 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.320 just bring a guest on just to bring a guest on. So, uh, 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.440 the first few months, we're just trying to figure out 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.160 how to fill the time, and that's that's a process, 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.519 and then you try to figure out ways to where 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.520 you can make it as interesting as possible. So yeah, 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.200 it didn't really hit me until the last few weeks 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.239 as the transition was taking place. Me moving over to 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:37.360 has that really any job that I have in broadcasting 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.440 the rest of the way, it'll have a different challenges, 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:41.720 just like where I'm at now. It's going to be 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.560 an adjustment for me as I've made the moved eight 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.320 forty but as far as just the preparation and and 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.000 really just you know, having to to spend a lot 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:50.840 of time making sure I've got enough to get through 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.480 a full show. I've probably gone through the longest gig. 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.440 I've probably gone through the toughest gig I'll ever. Have 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:56.200 to be honest with. 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.640 You, you have so let me let me ask you, like, okay, 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:04.080 you trainransition from your previous job to radio, How did 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.760 you know that you could do three hours? I doubt yourself. 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.640 So you didn't do like a mellodcast or anything. 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.400 Yeah, so I so, yeah, So I had a podcast 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.440 long ago before it is what it is now. I 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.160 remember I started a podcast in my one bedroom apartment 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.240 with my girlfriend who's now my wife and the mother 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.760 of my two childrens a long long time ago. And 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.600 then I got an opportunity to work at a smaller 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:29.479 station here. But I was doing an hour three days 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.560 a week from like six to seven, and it was great. 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.839 It was a great opportunity, great repetition for me, and 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.600 I really enjoyed it. And I never thought I'd be 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.040 able to do it for like a gig. But no, whenever, 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.279 whenever I got the opportunity, I think I had some 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.839 questions about myself, like would I be able to make 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:43.320 this work? 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:44.400 Should I abandon? 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:44.760 Oh? 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.480 In another part of the story that I've that I've 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.320 shared before with some others. I got called by Kelly Carls, 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.600 who hired me when we left the hospital with my 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.960 firstborn child. So here I am having to take a take, 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.120 take a gamble on myself to see if I could 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.320 make it work, and somehow I've been able. 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.120 To at least still be able to do this. 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.560 So yeah, there was a little bit of fear the 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.440 first day when it ended, because I feel like I'd 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.359 run a marathon, and even after the first segment, I 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.320 was like, I feel like I'd already emptied the bag 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.800 and I had nothing left. So yeah, yeahppen for three 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.800 hours every day is something I did for many, many 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.000 years and it was a lot of fun. But I 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.640 don't think it really I just I was really happy 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.280 to have the chance to do it. But it does 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:24.839 mean a lot to me to hear people like yourself, 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:26.760 And I know Matt's talked about it before on KSR 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.680 that you know, it's not something many people do, and 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:31.920 probably because they realized they don't. You know, it would 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:33.719 be difficult to try to think you could make good 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.080 content out of it. And I don't know if I 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:36.680 did that or not, but Hey, they haven't got rid 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:37.120 of me yet. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.440 Locklan McClain was one of those guys who could just 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.480 talk to a wall. And I watched them do it, 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:43.839 you know, for like two hours. I think his show 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:45.800 was two hours. Yep, you're doing it for three hours. 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.120 I know how much show prep I put into doing 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.240 one hour a day with Billy every day when I'm hosting, 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.000 because he and I kind of alternate on who drives 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.599 the show each day. And you know, I probably put 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.480 in a good hour, I would say of you know, 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.880 prep and trying to find things that are halfway entertaining 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.880 to talk about. But when you're doing three hours by yourself, 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.200 like especially at the beginning, like how much prep each 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.120 night before? Are you putting it or are you just 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.600 walking in and just surely you're not just winging it 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:14.520 for three hours? Right? 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.880 So here's here's here was my method and it and 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.760 it really worked for me. And I mean I would 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:24.039 recommend it to anybody if you're active on on social media. 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.400 So what I would do, I mean Twitter has become 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.840 I mean Twitter's I guess now X. It's it's pretty 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.480 it's a pretty toxic place at times, but it has 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.719 a it has one really valuable purpose for me is 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.880 that it's just a constant source of what is being 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.799 put out there as far as articles or just something 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.640 somebody tweets that becomes a big talking point. So all 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.279 throughout my day, I would I would see something, and 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.160 I would I would send that tweet to my direct message, 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.600 and then in the evening I would go through and 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.000 find all the things that I that I'd seen that 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.279 might be interesting to bring up on the show, and 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.200 I would compile my prep from that, and then you know, 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.480 I would then go for stuff that I think would 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.240 be worthwhile, cut up a lot of sound, because you know, 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.360 even if you know, even if there's not a ton 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.080 of great sound, you don't wanted to hear my voice 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:09.400 for the whole time. And there were days where we 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.560 didn't have many callers that kind of stuff, so a 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.360 lot of prep went into it, and I just was 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.840 so scared of not having enough things to talk about 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.720 to where oftentimes i'd over prepare. But when I did that, 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.040 that would lead to where I would end the show 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.560 and realize I've still got like four or five things 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.000 that aren't time sensitive that I could bring up, you know, 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.640 the following day. So I found my own routine. Everybody 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.600 has their own way of doing it and finding what 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.600 works for them. But yeah, I always had the fear 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.000 of knowing if I ran out of something to talk about, 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.160 I ran out of something to say, Like, I don't 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.040 know what I would do. So I just always had 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.200 something in the bag to pull out and you know, 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:42.360 keep the conversation going. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.040 Some of these summer shows, I feel like we get 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:45.760 to that point, like, oh, if we're kind of at 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.160 the end of all of our topics, I don't know 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:47.760 what else to say. 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.960 But can I tell you what the easiest time in 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.200 radio for me was, but was also difficult a as 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.920 a fan was the Kenny Payne era. Was really easy 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.600 because I didn't have to do any prep. I didn't 0:07:58.640 --> 0:07:59.840 have to do I mean, first of all, we had 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:01.880 a lot of people calling and sharing their thoughts about 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:03.800 what went on. But as somebody who is a big 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.400 louisvill fan, it just it was really therapeutic. I got 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.200 a lot of sympathy from people, which you know, I 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.520 do appreciate that, but I feel like I was able 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.640 to just get it out of my system every day 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:14.880 to where it didn't consume me every day of my 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:16.480 life because you know, for those who don't know me, 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.680 I'm a big Louisville fan. I love level basketball and. 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.240 That's your only though, you know. 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:24.760 Yeah, yeah, we got twelve minutes in before we had 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.000 to let everybody know that if they weren't aware. But yeah, 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.000 that actually made it easy because it was just kind 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:30.720 of it was driven by what was going on. 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:32.440 When you were doing three hours? 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.320 Though. Did you ever come back and have to repeat 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.040 anything that you talked about in the first hour, Because 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:37.760 I feel like if you wanted to get lazy with it, 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.560 you could do that, But going through three hours and 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.880 talking about all new content like naturally big about that. 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.480 He's like, you know, I don't want to repeat anything. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.559 So you know this, and I know Matt knows it 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.439 as well. When when you when they tell you, when 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.480 programmers tell you sort of what makes the most sense 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.600 for for radio, not necessarily podcasting, but radio, draft time 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.640 radio specifically that that you need that you need to 0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.959 be repetitive to an extent. But it's just not natural 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.880 for me. If I'm repetitive, I just feel like, hey, 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.040 people already heard that, even if it is a new audience. 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.079 So I've more so followed what you guys do on KSR, 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.600 just because I feel like that's more my style. But 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.440 you know, at times, I'm sure I could have been 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.320 repetitive and it would have maybe made a little bit 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.600 more since I did, I will say that when I 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.880 was doing because I started noon to three, then I 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.839 went from seven to ten am, and then for the 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.760 last two plus years, I've been three to six before 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.200 it all ended last week, And I did think the 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.120 first hour, in the third hour, there was there were 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:30.920 similarities and that did make they did make it a 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.040 little bit easier. But now what I'm having to get 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:34.839 used to on eight forty is that, I mean, it's 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.400 a totally different format when it comes to the Kentucky 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.240 in the morning news, and I mean I've. 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.000 Got I used to have to fill nineteen minutes. 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.760 Now I got Now I got four minutes, and I 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.560 got to try to squeeze it in asas. 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:46.800 Yeah, well maybe maybe more challenging though, because we see 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:47.600 i'd be concise. 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.440 Yes, absolutely, that's that's the new challenge. But it also 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.600 you know, at times, whenever I end up finishing a segment, 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.640 I'm like, that was it. That's that's a breeze compared 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.040 to what I was doing. But now I'm I'm being 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.559 coached because you know, I can't screw this up. I'm 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.360 like the fourth person that ever have this job in 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.400 the morning's on eight forty. So I need to be 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.160 repetitive and be aware that the people that listen to 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.079 me at five am are not the same people that 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:08.200 are going to be listening at eight am. 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.000 That's the thing too, fourth person ever to host the 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.960 morning show on eight forty whs, it's. 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:14.640 Pretty good company. 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.160 Again, just not screw it up, right, Yeah? 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.000 I mean he just replaced Tony Cruz, who has been 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.319 I think the morning guy for what twenty one years? 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.520 So he's been here as long as I've He's been 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.200 doing the morning show as long as I've been here 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:28.480 at iHeart. So let me ask you this because this 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.640 is another part that I here's the reason I don't 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:31.520 think I could do your job. 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.280 You're on the air at what five am? 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.199 Yes, So let me ask you, what time number one 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.319 are you going to sleep now? And what time are 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.000 you waking up every morning to do the show at 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:43.559 five o'clock? 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.600 So I woke up this morning at three am. I 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.560 woke up yesterday at two forty five, am, Oh my god, 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:51.760 are you laughing at my pain? 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:53.920 Oh my god, There's no way I could do that. 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.520 So I don't know if that's going to be the routine. 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.560 I think what I'm gonna find after a week or so, 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.120 I'll be able to sense if I'm able to potentially 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.840 sleep until Like I could honestly do do what I 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.640 need to do to prepare for the five am start. 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.760 I could do that the evening before, but that would 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.319 require me staying up a little bit later and then 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:14.880 just I mean, I could get up honestly with no 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.240 traffic and leave the house at four fifteen and still 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.240 be here on time, But that would be so I 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.400 would feel like I'm panicked because that's just so not natural. 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:24.120 But I got to make adjustments. This is not a 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.920 normal routine by any means. So last night it played 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.079 itself out. I didn't need to think about when I 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:31.440 went to bed. It was nine thirty and I was 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.080 on the recliner, and then that was it. It was 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.760 I was out. So I think, you know, I'll end 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:37.920 up probably trying what I want to do. This is 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.760 what I hope happens. I hope I can I can 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.040 get up really early finish the show after and then 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.720 get a quick nap in and then try to go 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.400 to bed. You know, basically have two basically a sleep 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.480 schedule that is a bit the biggest chunk of it 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.599 is in the evening at night, and then get a 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.800 little nap in and balance it out. But everybody has 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.000 told me that, you know, good luck with that, and 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.520 that there's never going to be a moment where you're 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.199 not tired. And I'm thinking great, And on one of 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.360 Tony Cruz's last shows last week, this this was this 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.280 kind of has haunted me since he said it, But 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.199 people were busting his chops about how he's going to 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.080 now be able to sleep in and how he's you know, 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.240 he's probably gone to bed at seven pm for the 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.800 last twenty years. And he was kind of he was 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.080 defending himself, kind of you know, to sound like a badass, 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.200 and he was like, well, I mean on Fridays, I'm 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:23.800 up to sometimes nine thirty and. 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.560 I'm like, oh my god, is this my life? Is 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.880 this what I've signed up for? I think you have, man, 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.080 It's a life style change. I don't know how you 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.240 could do it any other way. Otherwise you're burning the 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.440 candle at both ends. If you're trying to say, like, 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.640 for instance, coming out Thursday, we got the first game 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:40.480 of the NBA Finals, I. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:41.719 Don't know how PACER's fan too. 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.280 Yeah, yeah, I know you are, I know, And I'm thinking, 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.200 how in the hell is he going to sit up 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.040 and watch the end of this game and still get 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.920 to work on tom tomorrow the next day without you know, 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.480 feeling terrible, you know, just running it off, no sleep 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:55.840 at all. 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.439 We'll see, I mean, it's gonna be traveling error. I'm 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.719 gonna find I'm gonna just like a nine years ago. 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.240 I'mnna have to find a spot that makes the most 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:06.200 sense for me, find a rhythm and a routine that works. 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.960 But another thing that scared me this morning Scott Fitzgerald, 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.320 who's on the mornings with me doing sports, you know, 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.719 he talked about how the last however many years he's 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.080 been on eight forty that he never even watches his 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.000 team play anymore. He just wakes up the next day 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.160 and watches it in the morning. And I'm like, why 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.440 do anybody talk about these kind of things? Is this 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:23.240 is gonna be worried? 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.080 The other thing about it too, Like just for me, 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.120 getting in here at seven o'clock, which you know, I 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.720 woke up this morning at five forty, and I'm going, well, 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:31.720 Nick's already been on the air for forty minutes, so 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.200 I can't complain too much. But just me having to 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.040 get up at five thirty every morning to get in 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.520 here at seven o'clock, I find myself, even on Saturdays 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:43.120 and Sundays, Nick, I'm still up at five thirty, Like, 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.280 even when I don't want to be, my body is 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.320 just on its own clock, and regardless if I want 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.800 to wake up or not, I cannot. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.280 Sleep in on the weekends anymore. So it's a curse. 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.400 I feel like, how late do you sleep in on 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.400 Saturdays and Sundays if you've got nothing going on? 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.560 At the latest six thirty at the latest, man, I'm 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.880 telling you, like that is, let's say it's Sunday morning. 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:06.640 I'm waking up at six thirty. That is. 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:10.920 I went out Saturday night and uh, you know, partied 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.920 it partied it up. We stayed out till twelve thirty 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.199 one o'clock. I'm still bay. 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:16.600 I mean, I know the band's getting booked a lot, 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.640 and you're probably having late nights. I know, I know 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:18.880 they are. 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.120 Yeah, and I'll still be up early regardless, like a 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:22.560 life of shin in the day, I don't want to 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.480 be up at that time, but here I am.

Nick, I've been on your show, I think 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.520 for a segment or all Drew, I don't think you've 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:20.040 ever been on. 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:21.600 I don't know if you've been on with Billy. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:25.320 Maybe Billy has had me come on a couple of times, 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.240 which the last two appearances I made on this show. 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.280 One was a really tough one because it was right 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.920 after Kentucky beat Louisville and football when Louisville was top ten. 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.200 It was the two years ago Broms first season. And 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.960 then I came on last year the same time, and 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.840 it was following the time Louisville had won the game. 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:43.240 So I've been I've been here a couple of times. 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.520 Happy to be back again, and yes I am.

Let's 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:48.760 just let him know. 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.360 That that was a dirty, calculated move on Billy's part 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.800 to bring you on at that time. I don't know 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.640
