And your friend Ian Eagle and I talked about this.

I saw him in November and we talked about the Kentucky fan base and the weight that it carries.

And he brought this up just before I did.

And if the fan base feels like they know you, which by the way, the number one thing is to make a connection.

And usually that only happens in local broadcasts, right?

When you're watching the Reds, you know the history of those guys and you want to listen to Barry Larkin and you

No, but Brantley is a great example.

That would be a much better example, right?

Like he, he's a guy that everybody would love to have a beer with and many probably have.

Um, but what it does is if I would have made that same out of bio mistake, uh,

Five years later, I'm not saying people still wouldn't been bothered by it, but I would have been given an enormous amount of grace.

And so listen, nobody is perfect and I'm certainly not.

But what I truly appreciate is when people know that you're invested in something that matters to them.

Then you get grace for when you make those mistakes that are going to happen.

I despise generic announcers.
