**Trent:**
Yeah, no you shouldn't do that. It's like that guy that climbed the tower on Netflix.
It's just you have to live with the risks. All right sequel. This is why I wore the shirt today. I wore one last week, the quality quality learning center. So I wore the shirt.
Learning center. Hey, we're learning all this. on the fly.
Okay. Okay. You're the button pusher. Wasn't Brian's fault.
That's fine. Be careful. Brian.
Yeah, they got a good, good app. Yeah.
Good app.
Get app.
I'm excited about.
I need a change. My. Just my. Well. Go ahead. I was excited for this show.
But we had the NFL, too. So, yeah, I kind of ate up a day. That's a good thing On a snow day.
I have an equation to that. And equal to that. The one that does the driveway doesn't want a lot of snow.
Exactly. The three in the house that don't care about the driveway wants to just know a lot. God.
Oh, so.
You.
Won't be here? Because I won't be here to do the driveway.
Sunday.
Okay. Yeah, probably. I'll probably have to park at the top of the hill to get my way to the garage. Come on. What do you want me to hit?
Because.
Man.
Sounds like you need to ground yourself.
actually, it's funny you mention that.
So we haven't had a lot of snow in the last couple of years. In the shovel that I have is just a plastic one. Which has been great for every time I need to use it. This one was a little more intense. So I had to actually get out the old school spade shovel to break it. Ice.
Yeah.
Anyway. Yep. That's really what it was.
sounds like Brad's went down. My neighbor had one. Are you still seen? seeing it look like to me? You still got a shovel? I mean, it gets the heavy part out, but you still have to get the last bit show anyway.
There's no way.
So. Yep. Anyway, yep, it was good. Snowy weekend. Not a lot to do. Same same thing at our.
I'm sure she loved that.
She's probably ready for you to go with me to Daytona.
I've wanted that since before day one.
I was just stating facts.
Yeah.
That's just fact. What the heck?
I hope they clear your parking lots out.
Yeah, but I checked flights. Flights today were 100% on time, so it's good. Certainly tomorrow they will be too. Hopefully we head up. Yep. But yeah, I'm heading to, Daytona this weekend. Warren is joining me for our shenanigans. We are going. So I moved. Dude, how cool is technology? Now that you can see what the weather is going to be like? Yeah. And so I had noticed, you know, I bought these tickets, back in October. I think it was just trying to research schools, driving schools, and I didn't know Daytona had anything like this. So I was excited about trying to go around the track, which.
to end the show today is another tease.
I have the call that Kevin Carolina Kevin talked about, which was the, D.W. and Mikey around Daytona.
So that was 25 years ago. Can you believe that? But anyway, the, the weather is showing that Saturday went from like 15% up to 55% rain. So I called up there and they moved me to Friday. So I'll be doing the racetrack thing Friday.
And Warren's decided he's going to try it and do it too, so that'd be cool. Yeah.
Hey listen, 55 degrees.
I know, I know, but 55 degrees is a high. Sounds like oh that's a bad time to be in Florida. However it was, it was 12 degrees when I was shoveling this morning.
It's crazy. You know.
Yeah I do. Just tell you what the temperature is. Then it feels like.
It does. But I'll just be glad to get out of this for just a respite.
Yeah.
This day in history.
This day in history.
I'll be darned.
Interesting. Do you want. You want to know mine? Yeah.
Mine was.
Yeah.
All the good things in history that came up today. This is the one that the History Channel had as the the the history, of the day, this day in 1984. Do you remember when Michael Jackson caught on fire?
He was doing a commercial for Pepsi.
He caught on. He was caught on fire doing that.
That in 1984. Yeah. Second degree burns. I think his hair caught on fire, if I recall.
Yep.
No.
Oh two.
I don't know.
Yeah. There you go.
Isn't that crazy? We're at the age now where players are coaches. Yeah. Like players. Players that we know have earned their way up to be coaches. Sure.
And I think back when we were, watching the NBA. Right. Yeah. With Larry and all those those coaches were players. You know what I mean? Yeah. At one time and our parents were probably like, oh my God, I cannot believe he. Elgin Baylor is coaching. Yeah, something like that.
