I had to go pick Rhett up and bring him to work today let’s talk about that good morning to you Lincoln it is 1 1 1 1 1 well it’s actually Oh 1 1 1 1 1 so but that’s not as catchy as 1 1 1 1 1 or 1 1 1 1 1 but November 11th that’ll be 1 2011 1 1 11 11 in the morning or 11 if there’s going to be 2 times when it will bonafide full-blown be nothing but once that submit that has never happened before in the history of the world ladies and gentlemen good morning it is almost nothing but once and it is crazy around here there’s it’s it’s an ice storm everything has screeched to a halt yeah we were the only people on the road today and well I thought I was gonna be on the road I was like you know what I live just a couple of minutes from the studio I’m going over there I’m gonna use my two wheel drive Scion to get over here and which is not really a all-terrain vehicle if you know what I mean well it’s a black refrigerator yeah and it felt like one this morning I guess well I went outside and the first thing that happened was I just looked out I was like it’s not that bad and I started walking off in my front steps or the stoop as we call it around here and I nearly died the entire stoop was he covered in ice you fell a half inch thick you hit your head I know I wouldn’t be here I nearly died but I completely lost my footing and grabbed on to the to the railing and caught myself nobody saw me everything was okay and then I walked down to my car and there was a half inch of ice all over my car so I call my good buddy link because we work at the same place and of course I’m already at work because I excel at everything I set my mind to well that includes and you have a garage that includes going to work and yeah and I have a secret weapon called a garage which is my favorite part of my house for instances like this well I knew that Lynx car wouldn’t have any I saw a nice warm dry car because he keeps it inside I don’t have a garage because I haven’t upgraded my house yet to garage now my my driveway is on a slope so I walked on it to see how slippery it would be and I there was a high chance high risk there was it wasn’t high I don’t know it was just a risk that I would hit my mailbox when pulling out of the driveway so I know I was I was I was looking into that and everything but I opened open the garage door which actually has a button I didn’t go like this and then I go out there and I just you know internally I just glowed it up my neighbor’s all those neighbors who you they just turn the garage and you’re like a I’m just another room in their house like an unclimbed controlled extra room and I use a concrete floor I glowed it internally and said look at me merging from my garage which actually has not only one but two cars in a van and a car well it’s funny because when you got that house and had the two-car garage you set your mind on using that garage as a garage I mean it was like I’m not gonna do anything in here except park because I excel at everything set my mind to kinda what doesn’t really make any sense keeping things clean and straight and orderly like a garage I’m very good at that type of thing so I picked you up we braved the elements we’re doing it for you we’re doing it for Chia Lincoln this is what we’re committed to doing there is no one on the roads in North Carolina right now I mean things have completely shut down and listen when this happens in North Carolina people they go to the grocery store and they buy all the bread and they buy all the milk I’ve yet to figure out why are they doing something it are they snow proofing the house with the bread it’s kind of like an un bags yeah like can you insulate your windows with bread is there something I haven’t figured out yet because it’s again idea I’ve never felt when it begins to snow and I begin to get locked into my house I don’t start craving bread and water is it like a pregnancy thing I mean milk yeah bread and milk bread and water that’s like a prison thing yeah but it is kind of like being in prison and what when it when it snows asunder in your area what do you do let us know do you panic he said oh do they take over the the news that they put the news over all of the television program and say oh don’t go out well that only us reporters can go out and you just sit at home drink your warm beverage and build up your bread insulation and watch a slip and slide around and make fools of ourselves and make milkshakes at home but that’s another thing and you notice the news around here well first we have world-class news in the in the Triangle area but world-class world-class but they’re obsessed with weather there’s like I’m obsessed with it too they kind of trained it indeed well in this area it’s like who’s the best weatherman who has the best weather technology I don’t know if it’s like that in your area but I looked at the microphone to talk to you as if you’re inside that but you’re actually in the camera I don’t know how it is in your area but there’s this weatherman competition and what they’ll do is they will commandeer the airwaves and like demonstrate their technology over a long period of time one time I was trying to tune in to watch a show I don’t remember what it was it was a sitcom so 30 minutes long the entire 30 minutes had been commandeered by the local weatherman on ABC but she learned something I knew and you felt I didn’t watch I kept check actually I tivo’d the the entire episode and I fast forwarded through this guy’s radar going around and around the entire time because he just wanted to talk about this tornado or something you know it’s like I realized that we need to be warned we do need to be warned you know the weather people can warn us about things they don’t have to take away all the entertainment no they it is a form of entertainment is it’s it’s a building trust as I you know I trust this nerdy looking guy or this you know this decent looking blonde woman depending on what channel you tuned into but see but back in the day if you rust you if you were a weatherman your main role was just to be an entertainer you know Pat Sajak he was a weatherman David Letterman he was a weatherman and these guys were pesky Jack it’s not the first thing that comes to mind when I think entertainer but you know you to yourself this guy is just here to like you know be funny and tell me some things but now no no you got to have a degree you gotta have like four degrees you got to have this radar Doppler thing you gotta have the latest technology got to have a touchscreen and you got to look like a nerd don’t bring down judgment on these people I love these people growing up that’s who I wanted to be a weatherman Maka’s are you doing that okay you know it’s just hay in your argyle sweater take a look and take a look at this is my winter weather sweater don’t say anything about my sweater Chia Lincoln is wearing some green things are happening down here yeah the the sprouts have begun to change from white alien warmish things to almost green giannis alien warmish green things we stuck a few on his nose because everyone knows that Abe Lincoln had incredible nose hair I think we could have filed some ridges into his beard and maybe tried something but we’ll leave that to you people and we’ll see you tomorrow that will be Wednesday and you can’t say 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 11 1
