WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:00.680 Thank you, John. 2 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:02.879 It is seven four here at Kentucky had this morning 3 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.639 News with Nick Coffee on news radio eight forty w 4 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.480 h as the crew is all here. 5 00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:09.720 You just heard from John Shannon. 6 00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:13.439 We've got Scott Fitzgerald and mister Johnny Alden alongside today 7 00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:15.880 And as you heard in the news update there, there's 8 00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.440 now a curfew in LA which is certainly needed, I 9 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:22.600 would say, But last night yesterday, I suppose, I guess 10 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:26.320 more so yesterday. It sounds as if overnight and maybe 11 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:31.559 even currently, the looting has has stopped. And if there's 12 00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:33.600 more of it that takes place, I'm sure there's going 13 00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.000 to be cell phoned video that ends up on the 14 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.799 internet and we'll find out. But recently in LA, there 15 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.479 were it looks as if a handful of stores at 16 00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:47.719 an Adida store, in Apple Store, a place called Shoe Palace, dispensaries, 17 00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.159 a pharmacy, and a jewelry store that were that were 18 00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:55.359 looted and vandalized. Buildings and police vehicles were to face 19 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:59.560 with graffiti across the ten block radius. So I mentioned 20 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:01.920 this at the beginning of the show today. For some reason, 21 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.000 I just that stuff gives me a pit in my stomach. 22 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.079 I mean, it's not like it's I don't know what 23 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.239 it is. Maybe I'm asking for somebody to diagnose me 24 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.920 as to why watching somebody vandalizing and looting a business 25 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.000 is such a I can't watch it. I mean a 26 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.760 lot of people enjoy watching like things destruct, but it's 27 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.480 just it's it's awful, and I guess it takes me 28 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.959 back to when that was happening here. 29 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.439 I remember this. 30 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.159 So my son was born on June first, and I 31 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.159 remember that was a Monday, but I remember that weekend, 32 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.079 even that Sunday night before we went to the hospital 33 00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:44.000 the next morning my wife was induced. There was live 34 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.519 coverage here in Louisville from all the local news stations, 35 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.439 just covering what was taking place, and you could tell 36 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.239 with what you saw there was a real difference in 37 00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:57.920 those that were going about it peacefully, those that were 38 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:03.920 going about it not peacefully violently, and then those that 39 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.840 were there just to simply destroy and steal. And I 40 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.240 don't know, it was it was almost like I couldn't 41 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.199 quite believe what I was seeing, and I remember just 42 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.159 watching it live. One of the news anchors, I believe 43 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:21.439 it was for WDRB, was was walking through walking through 44 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.800 downtown Louisville and they were right near where we are 45 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.960 currently at four Street Live. And it was Eddie Merlows, 46 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.800 which is still closed down here. Just just I mean 47 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.039 I can see it out of our window here, and 48 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.000 just to see. It's one of those things you just 49 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.960 don't forget because it's a place that I didn't go 50 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:40.759 to frequently, but I've been to a few times and 51 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.639 you're familiar with it, and you're watching people just destroy 52 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.000 the windows and go in and steal the booze from 53 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.520 the bar, and just I mean, even if there's not 54 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.360 anything of value that they see that's worth taking, the 55 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.879 other task at hand for them seems to just be 56 00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.560 to destroy things. And it's just I don't know. It 57 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.159 was obviously really sad to see that, But since then, 58 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.800 anytime I think about looting, I think of that visual 59 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.360 and you know that obviously went on around here at 60 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.280 that time, and it got a lot of attention for 61 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.840 good reason. Uh, And it's just it's awful. I mean, 62 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:16.639 that doesn't accomplish anything. And those are people that I 63 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:20.080 just assume know of. Okay, there's unrest in this city. 64 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.560 Protests have gotten to a certain point. We now have 65 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.639 an opportunity to go and just join in. But we're 66 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.159 not joining in for any reason as far as wanting 67 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.479 any type of change. We're there to take advantage of 68 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:33.719 the situation and steal and destroy. 69 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:34.199 Well. 70 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.280 And anybody who's had either their home or their vehicle 71 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:40.960 broken into knows that feeling. It's as someone who's had 72 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.599 their vehicle broken into. 73 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.360 Yeah, you do, and you know and you hear this, 74 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:47.159 that's what it is. 75 00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:47.840 That that's got to be. 76 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:49.599 That's got to be even though I don't own Eddie 77 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.400 Merleaus or have any connection, but yes, knowing that it's 78 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.520 the city that I lived my whole life in and 79 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.319 and will always love to see it, it's yeah, it's 80 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:58.039 being violated. 81 00:03:58.240 --> 00:03:58.560 Yeah. 82 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.159 And when I was a watch when my car was 83 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:05.039 broken into in broad daylight, mind you, in a parking lot. 84 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.719 I watched the video and it's even worse when you 85 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.280 go back and watch the video because it sort of 86 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.840 doubles that up and amplifies it even more. 87 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:13.000 So. 88 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:14.960 That's only a car for me. 89 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:16.800 My insurance covered it and I was able to get 90 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.319 you know, I'm back on the road. You're talking about 91 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.839 people's livelihoods like this is what even if it's a 92 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.240 chain store. You're talking about people that count on that 93 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.279 to go to work, maybe to feed their kids. 94 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:32.120 I've heard I've heard people share business owners share stories 95 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.720 of the feeling they get when they look at surveillance 96 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.959 footage to see that somebody has broken too their establishment, 97 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.959 and again you feel violated. Yeah, I mean, I rarely 98 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.959 keep anything of value in my car, but if I 99 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.879 do make a bonehead of mistake and leave it unlocked, 100 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.680 and I see that somebody just went through and looked 101 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.279 at and the glove box and the center console just 102 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:53.879 to see if there was anything, and they're just throwing 103 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.120 stuff around and they leave it without taking anything because 104 00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.160 there's nothing of value, but they were in there. It 105 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.160 is a feeling of it's an ick. 106 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:02.079 It is. 107 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:04.920 It is in fact in my car at the time, 108 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:06.639 I had my favorite hoodie in there, and it was 109 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:08.439 it was a plain white hoodie, but it was my 110 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.720 favorite and my man put it on and ran off 111 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.439 with it. Wow, I'm like, dude, and it's a hoodie. 112 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.160 It's a ten dollars hoodie. It's no big deal, but 113 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.319 it's still it's mine, dude. And so when I see 114 00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:21.879 images like what you were just talking about, I'm thinking 115 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:23.319 of the folks. Maybe there's some folks that worked in 116 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.639 an apple store. It doesn't have to be someone trying 117 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.480 to feed their family. Maybe it's a college kid that's 118 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.560 trying to make a couple of bucks that it's like, hey, 119 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.920 and I know these bigger companies always take care of 120 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:34.040 their people in situations like this, They're not going to 121 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:37.240 stop paying them. But on the same token, you know, 122 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.199 this is still this is what I do. And for 123 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.319 you to come in here in this blatant disregard, and 124 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.040 I know law enforcement to some degree, they do what 125 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.759 they can, and we've seen our own law enforcement get 126 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.439 on top of the situation in the Highlands, which is outstanding, 127 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:52.360 but there's only so much you can do at that 128 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:54.839 point when you have that big of a mob that 129 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.720 encounters and then you just they're more trained in it 130 00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:58.120 than I am. 131 00:05:58.199 --> 00:05:59.160 They know better what they're doing. 132 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.199 And I don't think this is something that even needs 133 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.360 to be said, but might as well say it. If 134 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:08.600 you are someone that is claiming to be protesting for 135 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.439 a real change that you're passionate about, what in the 136 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:18.040 world would destroying businesses and stealing and vandalizing what would 137 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.399 that do to as far as that's not gonna help 138 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.879 anything at all, which is why I just assume that 139 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:26.120 the most people who have their faces covered that are 140 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.439 there just to it's just almost like their robots just 141 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.240 there to destroy and steal. I mean, those are people 142 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:32.920 that just take advantage of these kind of things happening, 143 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.120 which if you are a city leader, you've got to 144 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:37.000 keep it from getting to the level where you look 145 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.480 like a vulnerable spot for somebody to come in and 146 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:40.519 do this kind of stuff. 147 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.680 I mean, it's something you've got to be mindful of. 148 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.240 All right, we've got another update of traffic and weather 149 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.079 coming your way right here right now. Also, you guys 150 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.160 want to hear Kentucky fans upset about Vince Marrow. We've 151 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:52.959 got some audio that I want to share with you 152 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.680 guys from callers yesterday to KSR. Look, I get it. 153 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.279 They didn't just lose their beloved assistant coach. He went 154 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.480 to the rival, and as you could expect, they're not 155 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.360 too happy about it. It is seven sixteen here at 156 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:06.439 Kentucky and his Morning News with Nick Coffee on News 157 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:10.879 Radio eight forty. Whas I would say, when it comes 158 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.680 to the big, big stories in sports here locally Obviously, 159 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:15.920 we've talked a lot about the College World Series and 160 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.279 will continue to do that as we've got two programs 161 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.160 from the state that are representing the Bluegrass State here 162 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.480 in Omaha. But the news of Vince Merrow leaving his 163 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.920 position at Kentucky as the associate head coach for Mark Stoops, 164 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.639 being a very beloved assistant at Kentucky, a guy that 165 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.160 didn't just play a big role in bringing talent to 166 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.319 help Mark Stoops win at a level Kentucky had never 167 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.959 won at consistently. I mean, it's not just that he 168 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:43.480 was the hype man. He was a fan favorite. And 169 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.680 he's not just leaving because he's trying to jump ship 170 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.480 before things really implode in Lexington with Mark Stoops. He's 171 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.240 leaving to go to the rival, and he's doing it 172 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.399 in June when he's already turned down other jobs to 173 00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:00.879 go elsewhere. It seems so understandably so. Kentucky fans not 174 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.839 not happy about this decision from uh from Marrow, and 175 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.120 they were calling in yesterday to KSR to express their 176 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:10.800 thoughts on Vince Marrow's decision. 177 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:13.759 He went to Louisville, I would we get a chance 178 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.120 to run it down his throat, run a red sideline. 179 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:17.720 I don't care if we get a penalty, throw the el 180 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:18.079 down in. 181 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.800 His He is now the enemy. 182 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:21.480 I don't wear red shirts. 183 00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.040 I won't even wear red underwear. 184 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:27.839 Coach larow Man, I used to love and now I despise. 185 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.399 You're a trader. You have to betrayed the UK UK fans. 186 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.720 Vince Merrill, the dirty bird finger and the L's down 187 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:40.759 shall now be the official Vince Marrow greeting. He did 188 00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:45.440 that to UK football, UK Athletics and now BBN don't 189 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.480 go to the loser Bill down the road. 190 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.960 So that's the second that's the second clip we have. 191 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.480 So there's I've got two different clips we've played this 192 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:58.279 morning of callers that have expressed just you know that 193 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.840 they're upset about it, and I get it. If I 194 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.559 was a Kentucky fan, I'm sure it would be it 195 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.120 would be not surprising to see him leave, even though 196 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.080 he's this beloved But the real story here is that 197 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:15.480 he's going to Louisville, and it's a guy who probably 198 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.000 would have had a job at Kentucky in some capacity 199 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:19.320 for the rest of his life if he wanted it, 200 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:23.320 regardless of what happens with Mark Stoops and he chose 201 00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:26.519 to go to Louisville, which will probably change a lot 202 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.279 for him as far as how he's I mean, it 203 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.840 sounds crazy because we're all adults here, right, it's just sports. 204 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:37.720 It doesn't really impact our daily lives to a big extent, 205 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:42.159 most of us at least. But in ten years there's 206 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:46.000 now going to be a much different conversation about Vince 207 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.320 Merrill's legacy at Kentucky than there would have been had 208 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.440 had he stayed at Kentucky and he got let go 209 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:56.360 with Stoops and everybody else. I mean, that probably wouldn't 210 00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.840 have happened. But yeah, the rivalry component here is why 211 00:09:58.879 --> 00:09:59.759 this is such a story. 212 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.279 Say so, do you think that anger is more driven 213 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.200 that if you had to put a picture of Vince 214 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:07.320 Morrow up there in a picture of Louisville, would more 215 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:10.120 of those fans you think point at Louisville as opposed 216 00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:10.799 to Vince Morrow. 217 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.559 I think they're mad at Mark Stoops for the program 218 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.639 being in the position to where he's trying to get 219 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.000 out before it gets even worse. And that's really the 220 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:24.440 ultimate takeaway is what this says about Kentucky's program currently. 221 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.240 I mean, they're gonna have the opportunity, meaning Stoops in 222 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.159 his current staff, to prove people wrong. But there's there's 223 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.759 little to no momentum. In fact, there's no momentum. And 224 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.720 there's always a chance they could surprise people and be better, 225 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.679 but there really isn't a whole lot to point to. 226 00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:42.519 It would make you think that that's gonna happen. So 227 00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.519 I think Stoop's putting the program in this spot and 228 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.200 and and I think once there's more, and I don't 229 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.559 know the full details, but it sounds as if Stoops 230 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.480 started to kind of shift more of the top assistant 231 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.480 duties to Eddie Grahan, not as much Vince Marrow. And 232 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.320 I guess Vince Marrow was by that. And I think 233 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.440 that that's another thing is fans are thinking, why in 234 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.159 the world would you prop up Eddie grant to to 235 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.039 shoot down the beloved Vince Marrow. I mean, Merrow is 236 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.159 a fan favorite, and that you know the fact that 237 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.519 he's going to the rival, I mean, I get. 238 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.519 It if he goes to Tennessee. Are we hearing all 239 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:18.320 these comments? 240 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.320 I don't think it all to the extent, really, I don't. 241 00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:23.559 I mean, it would still be there'd be the rivalry component, 242 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:27.399 but it's just different around here, especially in Louisville. So 243 00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:31.120 rivalries are what makes sports great. And this is certainly 244 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:34.360 one story that'll probably be remembered for a long time. 245 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:39.279 A top assistant, beloved assistant leaving to go coach at 246 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.039 the rival school doesn't doesn't happen very often. All right, 247 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.120 we've got trafficking weather coming your way in just a moment. 248 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:47.240 Also another update of sports with Scott Fitzgerald right here 249 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:51.799 on news radio eight forty whas it is seven thirty 250 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.399 five here Kentucky had his morning news with Nick Coffee 251 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:56.960 a news Radio eight forty whas. 252 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:57.559 What do we have here? 253 00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:01.519 What kind of call? Oh man, that isn't awesome? Video? 254 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.879 Dude, I'll remixed with some Windows prompts. Wind those I 255 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:06.879 thought I got here. 256 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:09.600 I thought I got rid of those on this You. 257 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.080 Can't get rid of them, dud. And I don't mean 258 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.440 you specifically. You know, there's all kinds of different prompts. 259 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.440 Windows will alert you about as far as an update 260 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:23.360 or something being available. And when you think you have 261 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:29.279 gone throughout the entire system to disable any type of prompt, yeah, 262 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:31.200 there'll be one that pops up that you didn't even 263 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:31.600 know was there. 264 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:33.919 Let me ask you this, do you guys say? And 265 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.120 I asked and John I asked Nick about this yesterday. 266 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:38.679 When you go to certain websites, A lot of a 267 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:40.120 lot of the college athletic. 268 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.320 Websites, I go to use them still like when you. 269 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.360 Have au no, yeah, well auto plays too, but when 270 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.080 you have to click no, I'm okay with cookies. 271 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.360 That's yeah, that's I thought. That's most websites now. 272 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:53.600 Well, and no, I don't want your newsletter. 273 00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:01.840 I mean, there's clearly a real you'll benefit to having 274 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:06.519 somebody's email address to where your daily content ends up 275 00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:08.200 in their inbox, to where they don't have to just 276 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:12.039 randomly stumble upon your your dot com. But those that 277 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:14.720 I have given my email address to for signing up 278 00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:17.679 for something whatever it may be, I don't I never 279 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:18.480 even look at it. 280 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:18.759 Now. 281 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:20.600 I've blocked a lot of them. I know they just 282 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:21.879 go straight to my delete box. 283 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.440 Yeah, I mean it doesn't do it to me as 284 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:25.799 someone who used to run a website. 285 00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:26.600 And that's that. 286 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:28.679 You know, you've got to monetize in any way you can, 287 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.559 and those there's new challenges every day as far as 288 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.639 trying to monetize on the World Wide Web, and you've 289 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.120 got to do whatever you can. But you also don't 290 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.720 want to become annoying to your readers that are on 291 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.200 your website, because then they'll just because the reality is this, 292 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:49.279 there are very few platforms really in any realm that 293 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:52.440 is going to give you information that you can't get 294 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:53.799 elsewhere or get for yourself. 295 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.519 So you've got to give them a good experience. 296 00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:01.559 And if it's nothing but auto play ads and you know, 297 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.720 sign up for this, sign up for that, except the 298 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.399 cookies and the non cookie jar or whatever I mean, 299 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:09.240 it becomes annoying. And if you just know, if in 300 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.799 your mind you know you're getting that at a certain website, 301 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.360 don't be surprised that potentially people just no longer make 302 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:16.240 that a part of their Internet experience. 303 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:19.039 You know who's the worst that for me is F one. 304 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:21.120 F one is notorious because not only do you have 305 00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:23.679 to cook, you have to click through the cookies. But 306 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:25.320 then if you tell them no, I don't want your 307 00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.559 first newsletter, then they bounce back and say, oh well 308 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:28.159 how about this? 309 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:29.519 Stop it. 310 00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:33.600 They they they've been getting nothing but universal praise as 311 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:36.000 far as just how they've exploded and become a big 312 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:37.360 rising sport here in America. 313 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.440 Maybe this is the first slip up. 314 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:41.279 I'm glad you mentioned. 315 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.360 Don't annoy us on don't annoy us with your website. 316 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.600 You're doing great. The Netflix series became a big It 317 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.600 was a big factor in people just realizing what F 318 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:49.919 one was and is. 319 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.320 But yeah, there's nothing worse than an annoying website. 320 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.279 Nice segue, because I'm going to tell you why F 321 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.799 one put the gauntlet down to one of the other 322 00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.240 racing circuits too, coming up. They did that yesterday, So 323 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:00.600 I was going to talk about it in sports. But 324 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.600 you're right, And so it's a fine line. And Nick, 325 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:06.559 you know more than anybody. You know, you head your website. 326 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:07.440 I tell people that all the time. 327 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:13.840 I don't everyone right, you just stop there, John. 328 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:17.039 And you know the challenges of trying to have a 329 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.840 website because if you're going to put that much work 330 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:22.600 into it, you want to monetize it. Let's say, you know, 331 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.799 I'm a big fan of capitalism. I always like to 332 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.639 make money. And if you're going to do that, and 333 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.960 I can probably attest there's probably a lot of internet 334 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.960 marketers out there right now that sympathize what you're talking about. 335 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:38.919 Oh yeah, and you you end up running into challenges 336 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.039 that you can't foresee coming and you have no control over. 337 00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:44.279 For example, and for those that are on my background, 338 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.480 before I got a chance to work in radio full time, 339 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.600 I created a website called the Cardinal connect dot com, 340 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.399 just blogging covering Louisville. 341 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:53.240 Did it for a long time. 342 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.679 Never expected it to be something that actually did generate revenue, 343 00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:58.559 and never expected it to be something that helped me 344 00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:01.039 get my foot in the door to be doing something 345 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:04.559 like this, So you know, you're constantly seeing how the 346 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:09.879 industry is evolving and for what really was was a 347 00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:10.799 big deal for me. 348 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:11.440 In a good way. 349 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:13.200 And then when it was there was a change to 350 00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:15.279 it that I didn't foresee coming that really made it 351 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:17.159 more difficult for me. As far as just it being 352 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.720 still a profitable thing to where it was a little 353 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:21.559 I had, I had a staff at people that I paid, 354 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.200 was that I created an app to where anything that 355 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.279 was within the website you have a native app on 356 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.759 your phone and for a while you were able to 357 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:36.399 implement certain ads and because you know, traffic was mostly 358 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:38.080 coming from the app, I mean it was I was 359 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:40.440 getting some pretty good revenue. And then they made it 360 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.879 to where you could only use certain type of ads 361 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.399 within a native app, and that that completely changed the 362 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:46.519 game for me in a bad way. 363 00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:48.240 So uh, it's. 364 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:53.080 The biggest challenge is that it's always changing and you 365 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:54.840 got to be able to keep up or you'll get 366 00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:55.480 left behind. 367 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:56.960 So yeah, the uh. 368 00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:59.879 And now everything's device driven too. Yeah, and you have 369 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.480 way more better You've wait way more upside as far 370 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.799 as revenue, at least you did when I was back 371 00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:08.240 in the game on a on a computer. But now 372 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.160 it's all mobile, and that's a world I never never got, 373 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:13.079 never got, never got up to speed on. 374 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:14.160 Let's put it that way. 375 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:16.720 All right, We've got another update of trafficking weather coming 376 00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.640 your way.
