But who’s counting?

Long day. Full of day things, and then evening things. Thankfully, Griffin and Meredith were riding the sports desk tonight:

Meredith is awesome and does it all, and she pulled double duty on the talk show.

She also anchored the news Tuesday night. Told ya, she is awesome:

Here’s another show they produced Tuesday night, Meredith was probably working in the control room somewhere:

They shot several more shows tonight, they’ll be online tomorrow and through the weekend.

And so, at 8 p.m. tonight, I got to go home. It was 9:15 p.m. Monday, 8:15 p.m. Tuesday, 5:00 p.m. Wednesday and tomorrow, promptly, at 5 p.m. on Friday. I’ve literally done this all day!

I used kilometers because it sounds better

A 12-hour day ended with a 90-minute television business meeting, but it started with this television interview.

‪My day started with setting up this interview this morning and just wrapped up with a business meeting.‬ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bring on Tuesday, because I've got something to say about that, too. ‬

It was a long day, but there will be a longer one tomorrow.

This is a video about Saturday’s bike ride, the first one of the year. (I certainly was going slow enough to make one…)

Keeping my Game of Thrones Shakespeare theme alive …

I probably can’t do much better than that.

A few quick links

Shows the students did last night:

Another television show thing:

By the way … that's pretty much the starting point for @IUSTVNotTooLate, which makes it an interesting thing to watch. pic.twitter.com/XXMSe0Ba7k

It’s going to snow this weekend. Because that’s what March is for, I guess.

To help you ease into your weekend …

Here are three sports programs the sports crew produced in the studio last night. This first one is the weekly talk show, four people sitting around talking about sports:

This is a highlight show, which features various Indiana sports and the crew is showing you the highlights and telling what’s been going on with each program:

And this is a condensed highlight show, for those people who are interested in IU sports, but can’t watch a full-length program:

You are too busy and you should watch more programming, really. They are having a lot of fun making it:

Head over to Insta and check out @IUSTVsports' story tonight.@maxwellsglenn shows us around the beautiful studio in @IUMediaSchool and looks at work that folks like @M_Struewing14, @MichaelTilka4, @drewfrey99, @grifgonzo and more are doing. pic.twitter.com/9LxKqwM2Du

I was back in the studio this morning for a take on the old Dating Game show. That should be out early next week.

A game I’ve been running on Twitter has concluded:

As you know, we've been conducting the #Iconic80sSong poll. The finals have wrapped up and here are the winners. (They are all winners. We are all winners, because of the music.)

In third place:https://t.co/Eb76r2zNpH

The final round of #Iconic80sSong voting was a close one. Just two percentage points separated the top spot from second place. But now, here, according to your vote, the second most iconic song of the 1980s was …https://t.co/pi8jwTh1M0

— Kenny Smith (@kennysmith) February 8, 2019

Which brings us to the winner. After hundreds of votes and three rounds of polling the #Iconic80sSong, as determined by you.

So, Twitter users: fists up, air drums and hairbrush microphones at the ready …https://t.co/LipFLlnoDn

— Kenny Smith (@kennysmith) February 8, 2019

What do you think? Did the voters get it right? What should have made the final round? Even if you have an entirely different set of songs, at least one of these is now stuck in your head. You are, of course, welcome for that.

Video things

Time in the studio last night. We’ve started experimenting with a one-anchor desk. It could become a great thing. Allison Zeithammer is holding things down this week:

Also, National Weather Person Day is apparently a thing. I know a lot of meteorologists and weather people, and we had two of them hanging out in the studio last night. So they did a little thing with them:

This is my favorite thing of the day:
