1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>A forty million dollar gift. I feel comfortable in saying, well,

2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:06.599
<v Speaker 1>one that I've never received a gift of that of

3
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>that magnitude, and I probably won't because not many do.

4
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>But that is a big gift to JCPS courtesy of

5
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Young Brands. It's six oh five here Conseucket. It's Morning

6
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.839
<v Speaker 1>News with Nick Coffee on News Radio eight forty whas.

7
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.719
<v Speaker 1>We've got the full crew in place. We've got John

8
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Ald inlongside. We'll have another sports update coming your way

9
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.039
<v Speaker 1>about twenty minutes with Scott Fitzgerald and of course John

10
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:29.679
<v Speaker 1>Shinn and just gave you his newscast and we'll give

11
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 1>you another one coming up at six thirty. But yes,

12
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>that was It's one of those things that I'm sure

13
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 1>there are many that see a a corporation like Young

14
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Brands that has I don't know the exact status of

15
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>how well they've done as a business, but I would

16
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:50.159
<v Speaker 1>say is a corporation that has roughly sixty one thousand

17
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>restaurants and one hundred and fifty five countries with KFC,

18
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Taco Bell, Pizza Hut. I would imagine they're not hurting

19
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 1>for money. So whenever they give a gift that is

20
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:04.439
<v Speaker 1>forty million dollars in value. According to Marty Polio of JCPS.

21
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there are many that just think, oh, that's nothing, that's.

22
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 2>The least they could do.

23
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>But you should look at it that way. I mean,

24
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>you know how grateful JCPS I'm sure is for this.

25
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is this is big time. So it was.

26
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>It was a bummer earlier this year in February where

27
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Young announced plans to relocate I believe one hundred jobs

28
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>roughly in the corporate headquarters they have here in Louisville,

29
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 1>and they were relocating those to Plano, Texas, which, of

30
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>course you never you never want to see that anybody

31
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 1>losing their job here in Louisville at a corporation because

32
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 1>they're moving some stuff. But clearly there's still some presence

33
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 1>here in Louisville with Young, and they're looking for a

34
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>new location. So that's not only a good not only

35
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a good sign that they are still going to have

36
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>major presence here, but also that's one of those things

37
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 1>that I just feel like, Okay, who cares? And I

38
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.200
<v Speaker 1>don't mean like you don't care that JCPS is getting

39
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe you don't care. I don't know. I

40
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 1>can't control or really know what you care about. But

41
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 1>because it's it's Young Brands again, a corporation that is

42
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 1>huge all over the world, all over the planet, it

43
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>probably isn't viewed as that big of a gesture, when

44
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:15.639
<v Speaker 1>in fact it is. And what I will say just

45
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>a reminder they didn't have to do that. There wasn't

46
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>an expectation to do that. So thank you, Young Brands,

47
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure JCPS has expressed their appreciation. And when

48
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:31.719
<v Speaker 1>it comes to corporations here in Louisville that have restructured

49
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>just because of the economy, some of that happened during

50
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:38.039
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic. That's never good, right. You want corporations to

51
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.400
<v Speaker 1>have headquarters here in Louisville, whether they start here or

52
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>they don't, because obviously that's good for the economy, it's

53
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 1>good for the job market. And you know Papa John's

54
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 1>that was a big deal when they decided in twenty

55
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>twenty to significantly shift their operational focus where they were

56
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 1>in Louisville with a big presence for quite some time.

57
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.520
<v Speaker 1>And now I believe the majority of those type of

58
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>jobs or in Atlanta. I think they still have some

59
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 1>presence here in Louisville, but obviously the primary headquarters is

60
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 1>now in Atlanta, so that when that happens, man, that's

61
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>a tough blow. You know, there's a lot of not

62
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>only for those who have jobs that are impacted by

63
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.719
<v Speaker 1>those kind of decisions, but also you know, just for

64
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the economy. I mean, if you are somebody like myself

65
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 1>who's lived here in this area your whole life, I

66
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>mean you you probably know. I mean, heck, I know

67
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.199
<v Speaker 1>people in fact, my family, my mom's side of the family,

68
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>they ended up here where my mom was born and

69
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 1>raised along with her brothers and sisters, because my grandfather

70
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>got a job at GE. I'm sure there are many

71
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>people here that they call this their hometown because their dad,

72
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>or maybe their mom, or maybe their grandparents got a

73
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 1>job at a place like Ford. So you know, when

74
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.759
<v Speaker 1>you have a corporation like Papa John's who is here

75
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>for quite some time, young, it could be the same thing.

76
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 1>There could be people that now call this area their home.

77
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.439
<v Speaker 1>A generational kind of thing where you know, you got

78
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 1>three generations of families that now you know, they they're

79
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>here in our community and impacting the economy because of

80
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>jobs that were created because of these corporations that had

81
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>such presence here in the area. So it's been it's

82
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 1>been an up and down kind of thing, and there's

83
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 1>been some that haven't left. They've just they've just shifted

84
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>to where you know, it's sigh of the times. And

85
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 1>really I think we were already headed in the direction

86
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:26.120
<v Speaker 1>of remote work becoming more common in a lot of

87
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.439
<v Speaker 1>different industries. But what the pandemic did because we were

88
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 1>sort of forced to adjust and just figure it out.

89
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>I think it led to that speeding up at a

90
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 1>rapid rate. That if we didn't have to just isolate

91
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 1>ourselves and of course be locked down to an extent

92
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 1>because of the of the coronavirus, maybe these corporations would

93
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>not have learned that, Okay, you know, we actually can

94
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.639
<v Speaker 1>be pretty efficient and effective, and not only that, we

95
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>can save money by not having, you know, such such

96
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 1>space in certain areas. So anyways, for the those that

97
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 1>just think, oh, it's the least the young brands can do,

98
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe you're right, but it's still in something

99
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.079
<v Speaker 1>they had to do, so I'm sure you know, they

100
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>hopefully they get they get proper praise. All Right, we've

101
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 1>got another update of traffic and weather coming your way,

102
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>so stick around right here. It's because I can't as

103
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 1>morning news on news Radio eight to forty whas as

104
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>a society, I think we toss around addiction like it's

105
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>like it's a punchline. I'm addicted to. I say things

106
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 1>like I'm addicted to TikTok, and actually I may I

107
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.040
<v Speaker 1>may be addicted to TikTok. But there are modern habits

108
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>from doom scrolling to I mean, look, everybody's got their

109
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.600
<v Speaker 1>own thing that they just casually say they're addicted to,

110
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>and maybe they actually are. But this reddit thread as

111
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.839
<v Speaker 1>far as things that people claim that they feel that

112
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 1>they've become addicted to, meaning that they didn't. They casually

113
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>threw that word out there, and then maybe they're having

114
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>this this self reflection, the realization that Okay, maybe I

115
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>am I'm actually addicted to this. Here are here are

116
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:08.639
<v Speaker 1>some that maybe you will realize you are maybe addicted

117
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.600
<v Speaker 1>to validation addiction that is believed to be the compulsive

118
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.439
<v Speaker 1>need for approval, praise, or recognition from others. I'd say

119
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.279
<v Speaker 1>that's more of a personality trait, but maybe maybe with

120
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.199
<v Speaker 1>that you could you could chalk it up to being

121
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.079
<v Speaker 1>an addiction. This one is very obscure. But I don't know.

122
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 1>Maybe as I say this, you'll say, yep, that's me

123
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:32.439
<v Speaker 1>totally addicted to nasal spray. I've actually used nasal spray

124
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.240
<v Speaker 1>recently as I've discussed my allergy issues. John, I can

125
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:36.720
<v Speaker 1>tell you, I don't know how you would become addicted

126
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>to that, because that would I dread doing that.

127
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's just the feeling for some people, the feeling

128
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>you having a clear sinus, yeah, or something like.

129
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Maybe there's some kind of stimulation involved there that I

130
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.959
<v Speaker 1>just I'm not I'm not experiencing on my end, because

131
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 1>I would avoid that at all costs. Shopping that can

132
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.759
<v Speaker 1>be certainly an addicting thing. Victim mindset. Again, some of

133
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>these to me are more so just more of your

134
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>personality than maybe your or maybe something that you are

135
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.839
<v Speaker 1>addicted to. Now, gambling is certainly an addiction, and I

136
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.560
<v Speaker 1>don't make light of it because it can ruin people's lives,

137
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 1>just like being addicted to heroin or being addicted to alcohol.

138
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>But I used to have this conversation all the time

139
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.959
<v Speaker 1>with people, and there weren't many and those that were

140
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>opposed to sports gambling in the state being legal as

141
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>if it was going to ruin society. I mean, I

142
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.439
<v Speaker 1>think the proof is that they were wrong. That's not

143
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:29.759
<v Speaker 1>to say it hasn't had a negative impact on certain people,

144
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:33.199
<v Speaker 1>but I'd say the vast majority are doing it responsibly

145
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and clearly it's been it's made money here in this state.

146
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.279
<v Speaker 1>But gambling can absolutely be an addiction and just as

147
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 1>scary and detrimental as again being addicted to hard drugs.

148
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.160
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, gambling is certainly an addiction that is a

149
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:52.759
<v Speaker 1>scary one, no doubt. Social media, Yeah, I will say

150
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>social media is one where I would say that's not

151
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.959
<v Speaker 1>a personality thing, that's not just you know, somebody that

152
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.839
<v Speaker 1>is I guess using the platform to try to get

153
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 1>that validation and show people that hey, look at me,

154
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing this. There are people who I'm I don't

155
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>know if I'm addicted to social media. I'm addicted to

156
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>just my phone in all aspects. Just it consumes me

157
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:13.120
<v Speaker 1>and there's a lot of different things I do on

158
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>my phone. But social media is certainly a part of that.

159
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:20.199
<v Speaker 1>And I really since I've been in this position meaning

160
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.759
<v Speaker 1>where I don't necessarily I mean, I'm no longer just

161
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>a sports talk host. I now talk, news, talk and

162
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>other things. I don't feel the need to be just

163
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.319
<v Speaker 1>keeping up with what's going on every second of the

164
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.200
<v Speaker 1>day in sports, so that i'm you know, so I'm

165
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:38.679
<v Speaker 1>not missing out on something and it's actually refreshing. John,

166
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:40.480
<v Speaker 1>you have a good balance with social media. I think

167
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>you you you have a presence there. You realize that

168
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 1>it is useful and really it's worthwhile for you to

169
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.919
<v Speaker 1>be on it in what you do in your career,

170
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>both gigs that you have here and of course elsewhere.

171
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>But you you know, you don't. I don't think you

172
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>crave it like some people, which is good.

173
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:57.720
<v Speaker 2>I think so many people use it as just a

174
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.120
<v Speaker 2>place to just scream into the ether, and I'm I've

175
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.960
<v Speaker 2>seen that, especially the last several days with all the

176
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:07.320
<v Speaker 2>stuff going on with the strikes on. I've never seen

177
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.240
<v Speaker 2>so many people show their rear end. But you're not

178
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 2>surprised though, right It doesn't surprise me. You have to

179
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.960
<v Speaker 2>learn to just realize that social media is full of

180
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:15.480
<v Speaker 2>those people.

181
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:21.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I wonder what if this if the era

182
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.320
<v Speaker 1>and again I say the era of social media. It's

183
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:25.679
<v Speaker 1>more than just an ara. It's a huge part of

184
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 1>our life now. But if in fact this existed in

185
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the sixties, seventies, eighties, would we I mean, how much

186
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>different would society be? Because what social media has done

187
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:41.639
<v Speaker 1>is it's given everybody a platform to an extent. Now

188
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.320
<v Speaker 1>it's an echo chamber for most people, but maybe they

189
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:46.639
<v Speaker 1>get some sense of relief being able to just hey,

190
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:48.759
<v Speaker 1>I want to get this off my chest. I want

191
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.480
<v Speaker 1>to let people know, and they type it on their phone,

192
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.279
<v Speaker 1>they hit post, and maybe they get some validation there.

193
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.559
<v Speaker 1>But do people always have the built up I guess

194
00:09:58.600 --> 00:09:59.919
<v Speaker 1>just I mean, look, there's a lot of bitch and

195
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.240
<v Speaker 1>going on, right, I mean, that's that's not all that

196
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>you see on social media, but certainly that's a that's

197
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.799
<v Speaker 1>a big part of it. And what I hear a

198
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of people say is well, because you have social media,

199
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.679
<v Speaker 1>it makes you feel as if you have that you know,

200
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.200
<v Speaker 1>people care what you think. I don't. I think a

201
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.879
<v Speaker 1>lot of people post it without even thinking that anybody cares.

202
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>They just want to get it out there, and they don't.

203
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 1>And that's even if it only reaches a few people.

204
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:27.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, some people who who you know, tweet post

205
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 1>awful things that have like three followers and like just

206
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.279
<v Speaker 1>just text your friends who are following you, like you know,

207
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:33.519
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, Like, it's just send it

208
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.159
<v Speaker 1>text like it. You don't need to put all that

209
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:38.000
<v Speaker 1>toxicity out into the world, just you know, keep it internal.

210
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:40.519
<v Speaker 1>But again, I'm sure there's many that know or never

211
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:42.159
<v Speaker 1>even think about who it's reaching. They just want to

212
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.039
<v Speaker 1>get it off their chests. So any anyway, social media

213
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:47.200
<v Speaker 1>certainly is a real addiction. There's no doubt about that.

214
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:49.840
<v Speaker 1>All Right, we've got another news in traffic and weather

215
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>update coming right In fact, here's I'll give you the rundown.

216
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.080
<v Speaker 1>We've got traffick in weather, then sports, then news. How

217
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.759
<v Speaker 1>about that right here on News Radio eight forty whas.

218
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.279
<v Speaker 1>That's right, a brand new batch coming your way. Here

219
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:02.559
<v Speaker 1>it's Kentucky and it's Morning News with Nick Coffee on

220
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:06.679
<v Speaker 1>News Radio eight forty whas. Thank you, John. So, when

221
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I was discussing earlier this big gift that Marty Polio

222
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>estimates to be worth forty million dollars roughly from Young Brands,

223
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:14.879
<v Speaker 1>that of course they're going to move forward and hopefully

224
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:17.360
<v Speaker 1>get the green light to accept this gift. It's it's

225
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:21.840
<v Speaker 1>the building, it's their well known Young Brands campus that

226
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>is gonna that they've offered to donate, which again I

227
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.759
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I clarified that earlier, but again a

228
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.879
<v Speaker 1>great gesture and something that I'm sure folks won't think

229
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 1>is super generous because you're thinking, well, young brands, forty

230
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:38.559
<v Speaker 1>million in a building that needs repairs. You know that's

231
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:40.320
<v Speaker 1>nothing to them. And maybe you're right when it comes

232
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.240
<v Speaker 1>to just what they're worth and what they are offering

233
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.519
<v Speaker 1>to give away as a gift. But they didn't have

234
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>to do that, and that's kind of what I wanted

235
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.240
<v Speaker 1>to emphasize a little bit earlier. But it's six thirty

236
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.000
<v Speaker 1>five here, Kentucky, its morning news. I do want remind

237
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:53.679
<v Speaker 1>you could take us with you wherever you go. Listen

238
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.360

240
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the iHeart Radio app, keep us in mind. When it

241
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:04.399
<v Speaker 1>comes to interacting with us. You can use the talk

242
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:08.799
<v Speaker 1>back feature and share whatever you want and we'll try

243
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 1>to get some of those across the airwaves here throughout

244
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the morning. I know I've been mentioning it here and there,

245
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and you know what, I've realized this is the more

246
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:17.639
<v Speaker 1>I do remind you that it's there, the more likely

247
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.559
<v Speaker 1>somebody is going to think, okay, well let me let

248
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:21.200
<v Speaker 1>me give this a shot. So again, it's there. If

249
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.120
<v Speaker 1>you're listening live on the IET Radio app. And I

250
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.799
<v Speaker 1>know there are some that don't listen via the app.

251
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.320
<v Speaker 1>They listen while they're driving and they just they you

252
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:30.799
<v Speaker 1>can still you know, be safe on the road, of course,

253
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:32.960
<v Speaker 1>but you can still just get out the app and

254
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.279
<v Speaker 1>just click that microphone button and you're good to go.

255
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:38.679
<v Speaker 1>All right, So I'm gonna put the one and only

256
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.360
<v Speaker 1>John Olden on the spot here right ahead. I'm going

257
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:46.519
<v Speaker 1>to play some sound for you that has been it's

258
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.799
<v Speaker 1>become somewhat of a piece of news. And there was

259
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:53.039
<v Speaker 1>something said in this twenty three seconds that was, I

260
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>guess believed to be controversial, but I'm gonna play it

261
00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:00.960
<v Speaker 1>for you and you and look, I'm just to be clear,

262
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't I had to do some digging to see

263
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.919
<v Speaker 1>what the bit what was in any way controversial. So

264
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.440
<v Speaker 1>if you don't pick up on it, don't feel bad.

265
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:10.399
<v Speaker 1>I was right there with you. So just to be clear,

266
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:11.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you're going to get it, but

267
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.559
<v Speaker 1>if you don't, we are in the same boat because

268
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:17.519
<v Speaker 1>I didn't find anything to be triggering at all. But

269
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>come here, some people get worked up so.

270
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.759
<v Speaker 3>They disagree with you. They do, and I disagree with them,

271
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.559
<v Speaker 3>and that's fine. That's what makes America great, right, Pat Mark,

272
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:38.799
<v Speaker 3>I should rephrase that, yes, but yeah, I did. Opinion

273
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:42.440
<v Speaker 3>are perfectly Yes, that's a better way to say.

274
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.440
<v Speaker 4>So any clue What might have been is the fact

275
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:49.080
<v Speaker 4>that she said make America great. Yes, and so she

276
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:52.200
<v Speaker 4>doesn't want to come off as necessarily being fully aligned

277
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:53.440
<v Speaker 4>with mister Donald Trump.

278
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:56.039
<v Speaker 1>So the w NBA and you are correct, you you

279
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:58.679
<v Speaker 1>knew it, and I thought that could be it. But

280
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm just thinking, well, first of all, it wasn't an

281
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.840
<v Speaker 1>endorsement for the president in his branding his slogan of

282
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:08.799
<v Speaker 1>make America Great Again. No, I mean, I think you

283
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:12.399
<v Speaker 1>can say that makes America great and it and it

284
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:15.480
<v Speaker 1>not have anything to do with Donald Trump, because I

285
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:19.200
<v Speaker 1>would assume there are many that regardless of your political

286
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:23.360
<v Speaker 1>affiliation or your hatred or love for Donald Trump, we

287
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:27.799
<v Speaker 1>can say America is great, or that's what makes America great?

288
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.360
<v Speaker 1>How great is America? You can you can really put

289
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:32.879
<v Speaker 1>it together in a variety of ways, and it might

290
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.279
<v Speaker 1>it might make you think of the make America Great

291
00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:40.000
<v Speaker 1>slogan of course MAGA, or it could just be something

292
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 1>that you know, you don't even think about because Donald

293
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump doesn't consume you one way or the other, good

294
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>or bad, love or hate. And that I mean that

295
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I was beside myself to see that that that this

296
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:57.639
<v Speaker 1>became a thing that the WNBA, I mean they somebody

297
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.679
<v Speaker 1>who covers the WNBA clipped this from a broad cast recently.

298
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.000
<v Speaker 1>This was the Indiana Las Vegas WNBA game that was

299
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.799
<v Speaker 1>on ESPN, and it wasn't because let me give you

300
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:09.200
<v Speaker 1>two examples Clay Travis, which of course you hear on

301
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:12.440
<v Speaker 1>news radio eight forty whs Clay and Buck. They're here

302
00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:14.799
<v Speaker 1>on from noon to three. And clearly I think everybody

303
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.399
<v Speaker 1>knows which side they lie on and what their their

304
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:21.039
<v Speaker 1>beliefs are politically and who they support. So I saw

305
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Klay Travis's post with this and it says wa announcer says, quote,

306
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:29.679
<v Speaker 1>that's what makes America great, then apologizes and rephrases after

307
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:33.039
<v Speaker 1>awkward silence from co announcer who was upset with her

308
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:38.240
<v Speaker 1>word choice, and he says most WNBA media move possible. Well,

309
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.360
<v Speaker 1>the initial reason this became a thing is because somebody

310
00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's on the complete opposite side was get

311
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a load of this. Can you believe what this announcer

312
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:49.840
<v Speaker 1>said and then had to rephrase? I mean, like the

313
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:53.799
<v Speaker 1>fact that it is so triggering is really sad. But

314
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>also I think there's a level of delusion to think

315
00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:00.440
<v Speaker 1>that even those that did maybe aren't proach Trump or

316
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:04.759
<v Speaker 1>aren't far right, would hear that and think, oh, oh

317
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:07.559
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, how I mean, It's just it's I mean,

318
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.679
<v Speaker 1>dare I say It's comical? Is what it is. But

319
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:16.200
<v Speaker 1>that's also just another reminder that he's effective at getting

320
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.440
<v Speaker 1>under your skin, right, Like I mean, if you can't

321
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.399
<v Speaker 1>just say America, great, great America in some form or

322
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.480
<v Speaker 1>fashion and it not triggered, I mean like he's won,

323
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:28.080
<v Speaker 1>he's defeated you mentally. And I don't even say that

324
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>in support of him. I'm just acknowledging what's going on here. Anyways,

325
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:36.279
<v Speaker 1>We've got another update of traffick and weather coming your

326
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.519
<v Speaker 1>way right here, right now on news Radio eight forty

327
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:43.240
<v Speaker 1>WHAS six forty seven here Kentucky, and it's morning news

328
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.279
<v Speaker 1>on news Radio eight forty whas. Nick Coffee with you.

329
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:48.360
<v Speaker 1>We've got an update on sports coming your way with

330
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Scott Fitzgerald in about eight minutes. Your next update on

331
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:53.600
<v Speaker 1>traffick and weather coming up here in about two and

332
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:55.559
<v Speaker 1>a half minutes. And I will tell you I am

333
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.480
<v Speaker 1>somebody that does suffer. I guess it's my own doing.

334
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:04.559
<v Speaker 1>But subscription overload, let me tell you what that is.

335
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:09.960
<v Speaker 1>That is those like myself who have subscribed to many

336
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:13.880
<v Speaker 1>things just assuming okay, four ninety nine a month, that's nothing.

337
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:16.480
<v Speaker 1>How much is that per day? I can afford it?

338
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:20.160
<v Speaker 1>And then years go by and you don't even really

339
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:23.640
<v Speaker 1>know how many things you're subscribed to and if you

340
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.319
<v Speaker 1>actually need them or not. And to let you know

341
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.720
<v Speaker 1>this is really a thing, there's a new business, a

342
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:37.279
<v Speaker 1>new industry essentially of companies that will, I guess take

343
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the email, but they'll help you manage it, like they'll

344
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:43.000
<v Speaker 1>somehow be able to run a check to see just

345
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:45.960
<v Speaker 1>how much you are subscribed to what you need, and

346
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:49.640
<v Speaker 1>then you can somehow turn it off within their platform

347
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:51.720
<v Speaker 1>and it'll end your subscription. I don't know how it works,

348
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:55.279
<v Speaker 1>but there are now at least a few different competitors

349
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:58.200
<v Speaker 1>that are targeting people, Hey, do you have a lot

350
00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:01.039
<v Speaker 1>of subscriptions? You don't really know exactly what you're subscribed to.

351
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Is it a trial that you signed up for and

352
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:05.960
<v Speaker 1>you forgot about. I mean, I'm guilty of that, and

353
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:10.039
<v Speaker 1>I like knowing that I have the ability to pop open,

354
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:14.039
<v Speaker 1>for example, like the Peacock streaming app on my phone,

355
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:17.640
<v Speaker 1>my iPad, or even my Roku TV, But I don't

356
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:19.599
<v Speaker 1>know if I need it, and yet I don't even

357
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:20.960
<v Speaker 1>really know what I pay for it. I don't think

358
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.519
<v Speaker 1>it's something that's super expensive, but I'm sure I could

359
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:28.039
<v Speaker 1>save more money than I even realize if I truly

360
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:33.759
<v Speaker 1>only paid for subscriptions, that my usage rate would justify

361
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:38.359
<v Speaker 1>me paying whatever it is. So there is a real

362
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:41.920
<v Speaker 1>subscription overload problem going on. This is according to c

363
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Net that the survey here says Americans average about ninety

364
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:50.359
<v Speaker 1>bucks a month, so that's about roughly one thousand and

365
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:54.599
<v Speaker 1>eighty dollars a year on subscriptions like Netflix, Amazon Prime,

366
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:59.799
<v Speaker 1>even digital storage apps like Dropbox. So we're wasting two

367
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.279
<v Speaker 1>dollars a year as far as the estimation on things

368
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.200
<v Speaker 1>we don't even use. So sixty percent of us are

369
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:09.839
<v Speaker 1>looking at the cancel button and twenty six percent have

370
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:12.000
<v Speaker 1>already pulled the plug on at least one of their services,

371
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:14.440
<v Speaker 1>because again, I think people are now realizing. For me,

372
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:17.200
<v Speaker 1>what makes me realize what am I doing here is

373
00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:21.319
<v Speaker 1>just all the different apps that I have. And I've

374
00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:23.160
<v Speaker 1>got many apps that I don't I don't use, but

375
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:25.079
<v Speaker 1>there's certain ones that I just when I see them

376
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.039
<v Speaker 1>when I'm on my phone, I just know, Hey, I'm

377
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.119
<v Speaker 1>sure I'm paying for that, and I don't. I don't.

378
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:32.240
<v Speaker 1>There's no scenario I need it because I haven't opened

379
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:34.880
<v Speaker 1>the app and forever it's got an update available for

380
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:38.000
<v Speaker 1>download and I haven't. I haven't touched it. So apparently

381
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.519
<v Speaker 1>millennials are the big spenders at over one hundred bucks

382
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:45.319
<v Speaker 1>a month, and then gen Z's not far behind. So yeah,

383
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.920
<v Speaker 1>just just maybe if you're looking to give yourself, I mean,

384
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:52.920
<v Speaker 1>imagine like what extra money you could potentially have per

385
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>month on a dinner or I don't know, just whatever

386
00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.240
<v Speaker 1>you want to spend it on by eliminating subscriptions that

387
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:01.240
<v Speaker 1>you don't use. Because again, even if it's five bucks

388
00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:03.640
<v Speaker 1>a month, nine bucks a month, whatever, it adds up, right,

389
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.759
<v Speaker 1>and if you're not using it, you don't need it.

390
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:07.759
<v Speaker 1>And if you do need it, you can go sign

391
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:10.200
<v Speaker 1>up again all right again, trafficking weather coming your way,

392
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:12.000
<v Speaker 1>followed by an update on sports with Scott, and then

393
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:13.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll have another news update with John Shannon right here

394
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:16.599
<v Speaker 1>our news radio eight forty whas
