We made it to 3 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:08.320 the end of the week. And I feel like I 4 00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:11.439 have you ever I wouldn't call a secret, but have 5 00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:15.359 you ever had some information that isn't necessarily juicy, but 6 00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:17.079 you just want to share it with somebody because you 7 00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.519 think they may be surprised and somewhat interested like you were? 8 00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:21.920 Because I'm about to do that to both. 9 00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:22.199 Of you, guys. 10 00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:23.120 Oh you ready? 11 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:23.879 All right, let's do it. 12 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.120 What if I told you I had information that leads 13 00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:29.800 me to believe that Tony Cruz was up past eleven o'clock. 14 00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:31.679 Oh my god, believe it. 15 00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.439 I mean talk about quickly getting acclimated. 16 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.240 Burning the midnight oil. 17 00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.880 I mean he may have had an all nighter. I 18 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:39.240 don't know. 19 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:41.679 I mean letting his letting his hair down in retirement 20 00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.759 pretty early, staying up past eleven o'clock and being active 21 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:48.799 on social media. So, uh, he's adjusting and I'm I'm 22 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.039 adjusting as well. It's been a it's been a it's 23 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.759 been a week, been a fun week. But yesterday I 24 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.119 felt like I had a breakthrough as far as just 25 00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.520 understanding how to balance out the early rising, but also 26 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.280 not wanting to want to be a zombie the rest 27 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.040 of the day. But you know that little quick nap, 28 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.959 and I give Scott. I give Scott some credit. He 29 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.359 encouraged me to take the nap and I would and 30 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.079 I did, and it paid off for me because one 31 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.319 I was able to be not you know, a zombie 32 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:18.200 in the evening, and then I watched I was able 33 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:19.680 to watch the game. I probably would have gone to 34 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.879 bed had it been out of reach, but I stayed 35 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:24.840 up late, got to watch the Pacers pull off the 36 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.959 come from behind victory once again. So we're getting adjusted here, 37 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:29.879 and we made it to Friday, which Friday's best day 38 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:31.000 of the week in my opinion. I don't know if 39 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:32.920 you guys agree, and if you don't, you're wrong. 40 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.599 Friday's the best Thursday. And now we always you say 41 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.760 Thursday is the new Friday too, Yeah. 42 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.879 So Thursday's the new Friday. Then basically the weekend is here. 43 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.040 We are right now existing on a week within a 44 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.920 weekend which everybody's working for the weekend. It's a song, 45 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:48.879 of course, but also it's a saying for good reason. 46 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.400 How many jobs, how many workplaces do you think are 47 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.439 now in summer hours, now the Memorial days in the 48 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.239 rear view, and then how many people actually like do 49 00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.799 anything Like most summer hour places are you work a 50 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:00.200 half day on Friday and you go home. 51 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.640 Or they have you there all day, but everybody just knows, yeah, 52 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.200 we're only after lunch. 53 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:06.640 It's for mailing you packed. 54 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.520 It exactly seems like a collective understanding. And there are 55 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.680 some jobs that you really can't do that because it's 56 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:13.840 the same thing constantly. If you're working, you're working, and 57 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:15.840 that's what you're doing while you're while you're on the clock, 58 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.919 unless there's a break. But yeah, the cubicle office lifestyle. Uh, 59 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:22.759 and maybe some are really getting after it on a 60 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.080 Friday late in the afternoon, but if not, you're probably 61 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.560 at least trying to make it look like you're you're 62 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:28.159 getting after it. 63 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.280 Right, So does that give credence to the four day 64 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:30.719 work week? 65 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.039 I wish we would get the four day work week. 66 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:34.919 I mean, and let me ask you this. We had 67 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.719 this conversation not that long ago on my previous show. 68 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.199 If we went four day work week, would you prefer 69 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.400 getting the Monday off or the Friday off? I think 70 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.159 there's an easy answer, but I want both of your 71 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.479 thoughts before I share mine. 72 00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:49.199 John, what say you, Bud? 73 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:51.479 I feel like I go back and forth with this, 74 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.199 but I would say the friday off, getting the weekend 75 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.159 started sooner is probably the better way to go most 76 00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:57.719 of the time. 77 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.360 Yeah, and it's it's it's really just how you pipulate 78 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.439 it yourself. And look, i'd be fine with either you 79 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:03.719 want to give me Monday or Friday. 80 00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:04.240 I'll take it. 81 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.080 But when the Friday is the is the day off 82 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.759 the added day to your weekend, It's like you got 83 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.560 there early, right, It's like it's it's like it's it's 84 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:14.840 I mean, it's still a three day weekend regardless if 85 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.960 we get it Monday or Friday. But if it was Monday, 86 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.000 it would more so feel like we've just kind of 87 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.080 been able to slightly delay the real world and getting 88 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.520 back to the work week. If I'm getting out on 89 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.360 a Friday and I'm off Thursday, I mean that then 90 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.439 it officially becomes the new Friday. 91 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.080 So I'll take either, but I would prefer the Friday. 92 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.759 Oh my god, the bullet County just really came out Friday. 93 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.360 If it's Friday, don't get your old train I've ready 94 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.319 get you. I'm ready to get your Friday. Yeah yeah, 95 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.560 I slipped up a and I still you'll you'll learn 96 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.280 that over time. Sometimes it'll really come out and I'll 97 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.560 just have to. You know, I'm pretty transparent, probably more 98 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:53.759 so than I should be, but I'll acknowledge it when 99 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:55.840 it does come out. But at one point I was 100 00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.919 talking Bullet County when John was my producer over on 101 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.120 seven ninety and I referenced something about getting an oil changed, 102 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.000 not an oil, but an oil changed out in Mount 103 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.159 war Wasshington. And we've got certain words we say that, 104 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.159 and I shouldn't say week because I'm sure others don't. 105 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.840 Everybody's different. I'm only myself and I don't want to 106 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.360 make it act like everybody else. Sometimes can sound like, 107 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:16.839 you know, a hillbilly like I can. 108 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.560 But well, anyways, the nice thing to your point is 109 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.079 my wife and I discovered the four o'clock happy hour 110 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.040 now and now that the kids are gone, it's awesome, 111 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.120 I mean, and now we become because I've had to 112 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:30.480 encourage her to do this. I like going to happy 113 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.800 hour and sitting at the bar, of course, and that's 114 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:34.879 where I like to eat. I like to drink. It 115 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:36.439 took my wife a while to get there. She always 116 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.319 wanted to sit in a booth, and I'm like, no, 117 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.839 you know, this is our happy hour where kids are gone. 118 00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:42.759 We're sitting at the bar. 119 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:44.160 Ben Eddie and I were talking about that at the 120 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.000 end of the show yesterday, because I would never have 121 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:47.879 predicted it. 122 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:49.040 But we went out. 123 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.319 My wife and I went out for our anniversary a 124 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.319 couple of weeks ago, and we went to a restaurant 125 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:58.120 where they had tables available, but they had opened patio 126 00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.839 and it was kind of like a big open win window. Therefore, 127 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:02.560 you know, we weren't gonna sit outside, but if we 128 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.279 sat at the bar, we would be closer to where 129 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.639 the air would come in and a little more close 130 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:09.319 to where we were seemingly having a patio dinner type 131 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:09.839 kind of thing. 132 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:10.800 So we sat at the. 133 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.040 Bar, and we both realized that despite being directly next 134 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.240 to each other, not really looking across from each other, 135 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:17.920 we were it was more of like we were on 136 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:18.639 a date together. 137 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:20.519 We were less likely to be on our phones. 138 00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:22.600 But for some reason, if I'm at a table or 139 00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.160 a booth, I'm you know, not that we don't enjoy dinner. 140 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.399 But Yeah, I love that feeling. It's a comfort feeling. 141 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.240 Yeah, better vibes at the bar, and it's it's not 142 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:31.959 even it's not even about just the booths. I mean, 143 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:33.959 obviously that's you could do that at a table too, 144 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:35.199 But yeah, I'm with you. 145 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:35.680 I got you. 146 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.680 It's one of the perks of this new schedule. Maybe 147 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:40.360 maybe a four o'clock happy hour. 148 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.879 Right, Awesome, dude, I'm in bed by eight. I'm good. 149 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.040 This job just keeps getting better.

And some 168 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.720 of these people I have heard of, some of these 169 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.279 people I have not, and the ones that I've heard of. 170 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:44.639 It makes me feel like a real dummy because I'm thinking, 171 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:49.079 I never realized how I guess random it is that 172 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.519 this person might have the perfect name for what they do. 173 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.759 I'm gonna give you some of them. Okay, how about 174 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.360 Yousain Bolt being a sprender his last name is Bolt. 175 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.720 Would have never been like that, and he's he's really 176 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:02.439 well known, probably one of the more well known names 177 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.120 as far as celebrity status with all of these folks. 178 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.120 But there is a guy who goes by the name 179 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:08.040 of Bob Rock. 180 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:10.879 You know, you know what Bob Rock does. No, He 181 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.319 produces rock music. He's a legendary rock music producer, and his. 182 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.920 Name is Bob Rock like his parents. His parents may 183 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.839 not have known that he would just really really embrace 184 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.800 that last name, but that's uh, that's what he did. 185 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:28.439 There is a meteorologist named Amy Freeze. I mean, that's 186 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.959 that's fitting too. I'm wondering some of these people change 187 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.519 their names just because it's just doesn't you know. 188 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:36.319 There's a guy who's a race car driver. 189 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:37.839 I don't know this name, but it wouldn't shock me 190 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:39.680 if Scott does Scott speed. 191 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.040 Yeah, familiar off the top of my head. A name 192 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.240 sounds very familiar. I was trying to remember where I 193 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:45.839 heard that now. 194 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.759 And then I don't know if this is a celebrity 195 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.319 or just just somebody that has probably gathered some attention 196 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.879 just because it is wild to have this name as 197 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.480 a firefighter. Firefighter, but how about less McBurney. 198 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:00.240 Ah. 199 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.319 And then there's a banker whose name is rich Ricci. 200 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.040 I think that's I think r I see c I 201 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:10.160 is at Ricci, rich Ricci, maybe that's how you say it. 202 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.920 And then there's a a bartender who is I guess 203 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:17.800 a celebrity bartender. He's participated on John Taffer's bar Rescue. 204 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.639 He's one of those whenever Taffor says shut it down, 205 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.199 and he yells, and you know, they make a big 206 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.839 hole scene about it. He brings in his reinforcements. To 207 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.240 help him clean it up, and he always goes to 208 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:28.959 a bartender. I guess this guy has been one of them. 209 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.879 But his name is Burt beveridge s name you never 210 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.519 hear Beveridge is the last name. Yeah, nationality that is. 211 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.720 That's got to be somebody changing their name, right, yeah. 212 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.759 Me. And then and then maybe there maybe this was 213 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:46.080 a reason why uh the this there was a character 214 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.519 with a Nintendo name this, but the Nintendo president's name 215 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:49.360 is Doug Bowser. 216 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.000 Isn't Bowser a character. 217 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:53.000 Supervillain? 218 00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:54.639 It's got to be him, like just using his name 219 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.600 to to you know, to have some affiliation with the 220 00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:59.879 big brand that is, you know, with the Nintendo Mari. 221 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:00.679 Yeah. 222 00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.600 And then this one again, this one makes me feel 223 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.639 stupid because this is somebody at least I know who 224 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:06.000 they are. 225 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.080 Prince Fielder plays baseball. 226 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.639 Yeup Fielder, Yeah, yep, Prince Cecil Fielder's son. And Scott 227 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.919 Speed By the way, he was a Formula one driver. 228 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.240 You also drove for the Indy Car in twenty eleven 229 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.320 in the Arcis series. I knew that name sounded. 230 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.200 I knew if there was somebody that might have heard 231 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:21.960 of that name before, it would probably be you. I 232 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.320 know you follow racing quite a bit. So, Yeah, my 233 00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:27.919 last name being coffee. It's not spelled like the drink 234 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:32.039 for those who are unfamiliar. And my dad, believe it 235 00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.240 or not, for a time in his life owned a 236 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.720 coffee shop. And I remember I was younger, and maybe 237 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:42.720 I just you know, didn't maybe I remember asking him 238 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:44.399 and it was a look he gave me of like, son, 239 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:46.840 are you kidding me? Because I said, hey, hey, Dad, 240 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.919 anybody ever ask you when they come to the store 241 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.720 and it's random your name's coffee and you own a 242 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:54.759 coffee shop. But he looked at me and he was like, yes, 243 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.840 every single second of my life, people are referencing that 244 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.600 my last name's coffee and he owned to coffee. 245 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:02.240 You know, I mentioned that has a lot to do 246 00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.200 with the story you talked about earlier this week in 247 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.679 Aliah Obama. Yeah, getting rid of her last name because 248 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.559 she's probably tired of trying to explain. She wants to 249 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.759 do things on her own. And I wonder how many 250 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.639 people do that. That's I didn't know your dad owned 251 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:14.120 to coffee sho. 252 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:16.720 Yeah, he did for about three or four years and 253 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:20.919 it was fun. Yeah, a lot of work, a lot 254 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:22.840 of I mean, I think things in our lives smelled 255 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.759 like coffee for that entire time. Everything smelled like coffee 256 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:27.879 that for that stretch. But yeah, it was fun. 257 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:28.360 Nice. 258 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.279 All right, we got another update of sports coming your way, 259 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.399 but first let's get an update on traffic and weather 260 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:36.960 right here on news radio eight forty whas. Thank you, John. 261 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.279 It is six thirty five here in Kentucky at his 262 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.159 morning news on news Radio eight forty whas. So, as 263 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:47.200 you heard there, there's been a change to the requirements 264 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.440 in order to obtain your driver's permit. So in March, 265 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:55.240 Kentucky implemented this change where you can now be fifteen 266 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:59.600 years old and get your permit, whereas previously it was 267 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.759 it was sixteen years old. And this is different than 268 00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:06.240 when I was at that age, I think, Yeah, I'm 269 00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:09.639 pretty sure when I the day I turned sixteen, my 270 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.919 mother took me to take a written exam and at 271 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.639 that point I got my permit, and then six months 272 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.320 from there, so sixteen and a half, I was then 273 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.919 able to go back and take a driver's test in 274 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:26.320 order to obtain my license, which I passed first time. 275 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:30.240 Not to brag, just letting you guys know But anyways, 276 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:32.519 what was it like you were you growing up? I'm 277 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:34.480 assuming your first driver's license was in Michigan. 278 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:37.679 Well, it was in the school sponsored a two week 279 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.039 driver's ed course you could take when you were fifteen. 280 00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:43.159 That was in the summertime, and then local auto dealerships 281 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.080 would donate cars to do this and they write them 282 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:47.960 off as a tax and resell the In fact, Delta 283 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.759 eighty eight was the first car drove. It was a tank, 284 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:54.399 but you would do that. You're fifteen, you pass the course, 285 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.840 you go to the state, they say, okay, here's your permit. 286 00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:58.559 You can roll with your parents for a year. You 287 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.480 can't drive on your own. Minute you hit sixteen, boom, 288 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:03.639 come and get your license. You're done. It was very simple. 289 00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:06.279 But when my son and my daughter took it here, 290 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:07.559 I mean we got to go through this hole. You 291 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:09.360 got to drive with your parents, you got to log 292 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.080 your hours, and we just finally made up our hours. 293 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:14.960 So there was a requirement as far as logging the 294 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:16.519 amount of time you were but. 295 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:17.679 It was on the honor system. 296 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:19.000 Yeah, okay, gotcha. 297 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.159 Yeah, So we started writing stuff, but we were sweating 298 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:22.919 it at first with our daughter. She was our first 299 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:24.519 and then when my son came along, We're like, just 300 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:25.320 write it in there. 301 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:27.960 Well, John, you you got your license in Bullet County, 302 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:29.840 just like I did. You were about ten years younger 303 00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.840 than I am. Was the situation for you much different 304 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:34.279 than than how I just laid out? 305 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:37.279 Yeah, so he mentioned Scott just mentioned the logging. So 306 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.039 you get your permanent fifteen or excuse me, sixteen six 307 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:43.200 months later get your restricted license. During that time you 308 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:44.840 have to log those hours. You had to have I 309 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:48.279 think forty daytime hours and ten night time hours. 310 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.639 So when you're logging those hours, that's after you've obtained 311 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.440 your actual restricted license. So that's that's where you're That 312 00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:57.759 wasn't the restricted license was? I don't believe it was 313 00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:59.600 a thing. Whenever I got my license. 314 00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:01.960 Then that time frame I believe was another six months, 315 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.399 and then once that happened, I can't remember if the 316 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.960 final test was before you got your restricted or after. 317 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:08.960 I'm assuming it was after. But for some reason it's 318 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:09.799 hazy for me. 319 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:11.799 I may get myself in trouble here because I guess 320 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:14.159 there's a chance there could have been some logging of 321 00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:16.960 hours necessary, but I didn't know about it. 322 00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:17.600 We didn't do it. 323 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:19.840 But I do remember there actually being somewhat of a 324 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.200 change right after I, because for us, it was simple 325 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.279 when you got your license or when you got your permit, 326 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.600 you could drive, but somebody had to be with you. 327 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.440 And then once you passed your driver's test, there was 328 00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:32.440 no there was no requirement. But in that restrictor in 329 00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:34.919 the restricted license, isn't there a rule as far as 330 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:35.480 how many. 331 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:36.519 People can be in the vehicle with you? 332 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:36.799 Yes? 333 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.799 Yeah, okay, that makes sense. Yeah, there was a change, 334 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.799 I think not long after I. I guess maybe we 335 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.799 were such bad drivers my generation. They were like, look, 336 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:45.879 we gotta we got to add some new layers to this, 337 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.320 because we need to make sure these people, these young individuals, 338 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.000 are better equipped to be. 339 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:50.679 On the roadways. 340 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.159 But yeah, the the drive, I was nervous, as can be, 341 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:56.279 in both the written and in the in the actual 342 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:57.279 driver's test. 343 00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:00.240 I failed my written test the first time. I weren't 344 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.039 even called a written you was like on a little computer. 345 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:02.600 Yeah. 346 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:04.720 Well, now I feel bad for making a poor attempted 347 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:08.240 humor and bragging about passing, because no, I'm sorry, guys, 348 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:09.840 I just did know. 349 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:11.039 I would have said the same thing. 350 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.840 I'm with John, I just did I didn't study. I mean, 351 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:15.879 it was like, this is easy, I'm driving, and I 352 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.960 studied way too hard. For the second time, I felt like, to. 353 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:22.279 Those people that are with you on your test, do 354 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:24.519 they realize the power they have in their hands? Did 355 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.480 they realize how nervous everybody is. I mean, that's a 356 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.159 powerful thing to not take advantage of, because when you're sixteen, 357 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.159 all you want to do is get that license and 358 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.600 be able to especially if you've been driving with your 359 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:38.320 permit at that point you're ready to. I mean, there's 360 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.159 not there's not many better feelings from my teenage years 361 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:44.679 than whenever I became somebody with with with a license 362 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:45.519 to drive by myself. 363 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:46.600 I didn't do anything crazy. 364 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.039 In fact, nothing really changed other than I was driving 365 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.159 myself instead of riding with friends because most of my 366 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.399 friends are older than me and they'd already had their 367 00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:55.360 license long before I did. I was last in line, 368 00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:57.639 so it wasn't like I was able to get places 369 00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:58.559 I couldn't get before. 370 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.360 But you know, being on the open room, having that freedom. 371 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:03.240 Yeah, and then how long did you realize, Hey, I 372 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.360 wanted to drive and want to drive, and then like 373 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:07.240 now you're like, man, I gotta go to the store. 374 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.080 I gonna get my car and drive over to the store. 375 00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:10.600 My wife. 376 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.519 We're taking the kids camping this weekend and we're leaving 377 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.360 a little bit later today, and I'm sure if she 378 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.240 offers to drive, I'm not gonna stop her. 379 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:21.279 I hate driving in during the day day. I don't 380 00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.120 mind on the road, and we take road trips, but 381 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:25.399 I hate driving during the day through town because. 382 00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:27.320 She'll just want me to be the drivers so she 383 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.919 can say, all right, get him under control. If the 384 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.080 kids start, you know, there's shenanigans in the back seat. 385 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:32.799 Are we there yet? 386 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.759 We've been on the road five miles. I'm sure sure 387 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:37.799 that'll happen. But yeah, good stuff. All right, We've got 388 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.159 another update of traffic and weather coming your way right 389 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:44.320 here on Who's Radio eight forty whas it is six 390 00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:47.240 forty six here at Kentucky Anda's morning news reminder coming 391 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:49.639 up at eight o'clock.

College football is 397 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:08.159 certainly up there. We are college basketball crazy around here 398 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.600 and that'll never change. But obviously college football is still 399 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:14.159 very popular as we are. Really our pro teams around 400 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:16.279 here are the Cats and the Cards. That's the way 401 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:18.720
