1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

2
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:02.640
<v Speaker 2>John eight o five here Kentucky had his morning news

3
00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:06.160
<v Speaker 2>on news Radio eight forty WHAS Nick Coffee with you.

4
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Thank you all for hanging out with us. Don't forget

5
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:10.519
<v Speaker 2>take us with you wherever you go. Listen live on

6
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:15.160
<v Speaker 2>the iHeart Radio app. Also listen live at whas dot com.

7
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.760
<v Speaker 2>We've got the full crew here, Scott Fitzgerald, John Alden,

8
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.679
<v Speaker 2>and of course you just heard John Shannon there. I

9
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:23.280
<v Speaker 2>need to do a better job of reminding folks that

10
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.879
<v Speaker 2>if you want to contribute to the show in any

11
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.719
<v Speaker 2>way or just share something with us, you have the

12
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 2>option to do that on the talkback feature. So if

13
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:34.399
<v Speaker 2>you listen live on the iHeart Radio app, you'll see

14
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:39.119
<v Speaker 2>there's that little microphone there and whenever you whenever you

15
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.359
<v Speaker 2>click on it, it'll prompt you that you've got thirty

16
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.880
<v Speaker 2>seconds to share whatever it is you want. And I

17
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 2>didn't check it yesterday, which I was a little little

18
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>busy thinking about the Well, we're always busy during the show,

19
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.560
<v Speaker 2>but I was making sure I was well. Honestly, I

20
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:58.840
<v Speaker 2>had some paranoia. I was worried that maybe for some reason,

21
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:01.679
<v Speaker 2>this interview with Me Greenberg that I've been promoting all

22
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 2>morning would like somehow fall through. So I kind of

23
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 2>forgot about you guys on the talkback feature, so I

24
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 2>won't do that anymore. And I mean nearly three weeks

25
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.040
<v Speaker 2>in two and a half weeks in there's at least

26
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>one person that says they they like what they hear.

27
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 2>I hope there's more than what.

28
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:20.439
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know if i'd like you, Nick coffee, but

29
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I do. You and Scott are doing good. And I

30
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:27.719
<v Speaker 1>love this feedback portion never heard of it before. Love it.

31
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.319
<v Speaker 1>And you called it talkback, I might call it feedback,

32
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>have a great day about.

33
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, and you can call it whatever you'd like, ma'am.

34
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.159
<v Speaker 2>And there hasn't been, at least not that I have

35
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>seen anybody insulting us or saying that the show is terrible.

36
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I'm not inviting you to do that.

37
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:48.680
<v Speaker 2>But again, you can do whatever you want. But trust me,

38
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to make it something that is just

39
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 2>simply where we just play people saying they like what

40
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:55.599
<v Speaker 2>they hear, because that wouldn't I mean, that wouldn't be

41
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.719
<v Speaker 2>good radio. That's not what this is for. So anyway, anyways,

42
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>just know that that's an option. Just for example, yesterday

43
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about the recent accidents that have taken

44
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>place here in Louisville downtown where you've got semis getting

45
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.719
<v Speaker 2>in accidents, and there have been actually a lot of them. However,

46
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:12.439
<v Speaker 2>the ones that stand out are the ones where you

47
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:16.120
<v Speaker 2>see the cab of an eighteen wheeler hanging off of

48
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 2>a bridge, engulfed in flames, or stuck hanging off of

49
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>a bridge where you have to have the first responders

50
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>rescue them. Those are the ones that stand out. But

51
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.879
<v Speaker 2>it's not just that that's happening. And we had a

52
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.400
<v Speaker 2>trucker that is that I call him a should I

53
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 2>say truck driver? I don't know, it's like truck I

54
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>feel like, I don't know. I don't know if truckers

55
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.800
<v Speaker 2>are I don't know if truck drivers are sensitive to

56
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>being called truckers. I don't really know. But either way,

57
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.240
<v Speaker 2>it was a truck driver who shared some thoughts and

58
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.199
<v Speaker 2>also shared that when he went through the training to

59
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>become a Certified Truck Driver CDL that they were there

60
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.400
<v Speaker 2>to get you best prepared to pass the test, not

61
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 2>necessarily the best to drive. So that's just a good example.

62
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.520
<v Speaker 2>I think of how we can use that, and it's

63
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 2>my job to remind you of it more. And it's

64
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.520
<v Speaker 2>my job also to utilize what we have and let

65
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 2>people hear that. Hey, if you do use this feature,

66
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 2>you could hear your voice on.

67
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 3>The radio, you know.

68
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 4>And what's cool about it, Nick, is it allows people

69
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 4>when that thought is in your head. I do that

70
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.520
<v Speaker 4>throughout the day, and there's days where I'll be thinking

71
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.439
<v Speaker 4>about something. I actually leave myself notes just because I've

72
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 4>got too many. I've got too many things going on

73
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 4>that they simply won't come back. So if you're listening,

74
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 4>and it's a very easy feature, I think doctor Pat

75
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 4>Carroll sent us a message as well, And if you're

76
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 4>out and about, you can just press that button if

77
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 4>you want to weigh in on the cars and what

78
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 4>you think they're doing, and weigh in on Tim George.

79
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:40.840
<v Speaker 4>I'd love to hear what folks are thinking. Because what's

80
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.159
<v Speaker 4>funny about having that is the first thing when a

81
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 4>big story hits is I always go to social media,

82
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 4>and I go to our station social media because that's

83
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 4>the best source for seeing what people are talking about

84
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 4>and what's driving their train. And that's what we want

85
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 4>to accommodate here in News Radio eight forty WHS is

86
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 4>what what is on their mind? A people thinking, and

87
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 4>you can certainly tell when you see people react to

88
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 4>the topics they do, that's for sure.

89
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So again, if you use the iHeart Radio app,

90
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 2>it's very easy to use. You just it's that it's

91
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.560
<v Speaker 2>that microphone. And I think there are still some people

92
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 2>that that you and I'm I'm I'm fine with those

93
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 2>that power the iHeart Radio app to to kind of

94
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 2>lean into it a little bit. But I guess I

95
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 2>can see how it's confusing. But some of the promotion,

96
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 2>the marketing, I guess that you hear throughout our family

97
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.519
<v Speaker 2>of iHeart Radio stations that are that are mentioning this feature.

98
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 2>They do play some that come through to where you

99
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 2>can tell they click the microphone not knowing they were

100
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.959
<v Speaker 2>interacting with the show. They thought they could click the

101
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.639
<v Speaker 2>microphone and tell the app what you want to listen to,

102
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 2>and that's that's not the case. So again, just want

103
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 2>to remind you guys of that feature. All Right, we've

104
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 2>got an update of traffic and weather coming your way. Also,

105
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 2>what I want to get to coming up in just

106
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.680
<v Speaker 2>a few minutes is the latest with the the brief

107
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.399
<v Speaker 2>pause that we had as far as who Donald Trump

108
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>really wanted ICE to to prioritize as far as these

109
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:03.600
<v Speaker 2>immigration rates. The pause didn't last long because clearly the

110
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 2>economy is going to be impacted if in fact they're

111
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 2>successful in getting rid of everybody who's here illegally that

112
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.519
<v Speaker 2>happens to work in industries that rely heavily on migrant workers.

113
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 2>So the prioritizing of immigrations also with the economy, I mean,

114
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>that's a balancing act. And the inconsistency in the last

115
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 2>week or so, I think it's a poor look. But

116
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 2>that's just my thoughts. We'll talk about it. We'll talk

117
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.079
<v Speaker 2>about that and a lot more as we move forward.

118
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Here it is eight ten at news Radio eight forty whas.

119
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 2>It's a fifteen here Kentucky. This Morning News on news

120
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Radio eight forty whas. Thank you for hanging out with us.

121
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:41.360
<v Speaker 2>We've got an update of sports coming your way in

122
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.000
<v Speaker 2>about ten minutes. And one of the things that has

123
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 2>been really an ongoing conversation for many months now is

124
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>the future of TikTok here here in America. And Donald

125
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Trump is expected to sign an order extending the TikTok

126
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 2>band deadline once again. This is going to give the

127
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:04.040
<v Speaker 2>owner of TikTok ninety more days to sell the video app.

128
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.519
<v Speaker 2>It's the third extension since talks first started. I think

129
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>in the spring is when it really kind of ramped up,

130
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.759
<v Speaker 2>and I imagine we'll probably continue to get extensions until

131
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 2>it gets it gets worked out. But Donald Trump says

132
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.480
<v Speaker 2>that the extra time should let Bite Dance, which is

133
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.279
<v Speaker 2>the name of the company that actually owns TikTok, to

134
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:27.079
<v Speaker 2>find a US buyer and finish a deal that protects

135
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Americans data. I'm I'm of the belief that, and I

136
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 2>don't want to make light of it, as if it's

137
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>something we should just laugh off. But I kind of

138
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 2>feel like with every with everything that I do on

139
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:41.879
<v Speaker 2>my phone, as far as my data, my info, I mean,

140
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:43.879
<v Speaker 2>I feel like people already have access to it. Maybe

141
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.560
<v Speaker 2>that's just me being you know, cynical, but either way,

142
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 2>I love TikTok. TikTok is something I probably love too much.

143
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.439
<v Speaker 2>Meeting I spend I waste too much time on it,

144
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>but you can really get lost and just it's got

145
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.199
<v Speaker 2>a It has an ability. I think, of all the

146
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.360
<v Speaker 2>social media platforms to find an algorithm that that best

147
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.399
<v Speaker 2>suits you, and you wonder How did they know that

148
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:06.759
<v Speaker 2>I would find this funny? How would they know that

149
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 2>this hits my sense of humor? So I'm hoping they

150
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 2>can keep TikTok around. But I also know that for

151
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:15.480
<v Speaker 2>to get to the point where we've had to have

152
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 2>multiple extensions because of the access that they get to

153
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>our data. I mean, that's a real thing. They're not

154
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.160
<v Speaker 2>doing it because it's it's nothing. So hopefully they can

155
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:25.959
<v Speaker 2>they can find a buyer and when it comes to

156
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.279
<v Speaker 2>those that are believed to be in the market to

157
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.480
<v Speaker 2>purchase something like TikTok, which again, by the way, it

158
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:33.519
<v Speaker 2>is and I know some people still think of TikTok

159
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 2>as this app where kids get on there and dance,

160
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.639
<v Speaker 2>and certainly people do that, and you can find that

161
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:42.839
<v Speaker 2>within TikTok, But there's different worlds within TikTok. I mean,

162
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:47.680
<v Speaker 2>there are one hundred and twelve million US monthly active

163
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:54.120
<v Speaker 2>users on TikTok. Nine billion with a B is the

164
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:58.959
<v Speaker 2>gross merchandise value from the TikTok shop. The average daily

165
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.600
<v Speaker 2>time that Americans spend on this platform those that are

166
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 2>active on it, is fifty one minutes. I don't know

167
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>if people realize how insane that is. TikTok for at

168
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.040
<v Speaker 2>least a couple of years now, has taken the lead

169
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.560
<v Speaker 2>as far as being the social media platform that not

170
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.480
<v Speaker 2>only people use the most, they spend more time on

171
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 2>it than they do anything else. And it's easy to

172
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.079
<v Speaker 2>do because you know, I don't know if anybody has

173
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.360
<v Speaker 2>a schedule where they say, okay, I've got thirty minutes

174
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.439
<v Speaker 2>to dedicate to TikTok, but you open it up and

175
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:29.759
<v Speaker 2>then you realize thirty minutes have gone by.

176
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, and it's great because I like to play in

177
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.120
<v Speaker 4>the kitchen. I love exploring your recipes. My pet peeve

178
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.080
<v Speaker 4>you were talking about those earlier are recipe websites because

179
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 4>they're just chock full of pop up ads. You got

180
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.840
<v Speaker 4>to look forever to get the recipe. You gotta get

181
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.360
<v Speaker 4>through this I can. I've gotten so many good recipes

182
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:50.879
<v Speaker 4>off TikTok. They don't have that. And then you know

183
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:53.519
<v Speaker 4>when for example, another reason why TikTok is so good

184
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 4>to your point, like, let's just say I eat on

185
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.399
<v Speaker 4>a pretty normal schedule. I try not to snack when

186
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm sitting on the couch until it's time for me

187
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.759
<v Speaker 4>to eat. Well, way I fight that off is I

188
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:06.080
<v Speaker 4>go to TikTok, and it keeps me preoccupied and it

189
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:09.480
<v Speaker 4>diverts me away from wanting to have to eat, and

190
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 4>so the next thing, I know, half hour later, Oh

191
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 4>it's time to eat. That's cool. But I there's definitely

192
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.600
<v Speaker 4>from the numbers you're throwing out there, there is a

193
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 4>clear market for see a need filaed. There are advertised.

194
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:23.879
<v Speaker 4>There are people that see this and they know this

195
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:25.960
<v Speaker 4>is wrong. And I think that's why we keep seeing

196
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.240
<v Speaker 4>the deadline extended, extended, extended. If they could find the

197
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.200
<v Speaker 4>magic formula where they're not extracting data the way they

198
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 4>say they are. But then how is that different from

199
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.879
<v Speaker 4>say Facebook, because we heard the same thing that people

200
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.120
<v Speaker 4>say that about Facebook. You'll be talking having a conversation,

201
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:43.960
<v Speaker 4>then lo and behold, something pops up in Facebook. You

202
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 4>were just talking about.

203
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Of all the platforms and the algorithms that all of

204
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.399
<v Speaker 2>them have, Facebook is the worst. I'll just be scrolling

205
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.759
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know why Facebook thinks that I want

206
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.759
<v Speaker 2>to join a group that is, you know, Valley Station

207
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.679
<v Speaker 2>soccer moms like, no offense to Valley Station soccer moms.

208
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:02.919
<v Speaker 2>Why what about mas social media experience has you thinking

209
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.519
<v Speaker 2>that I belong and said group begin no offense to,

210
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.279
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think that's a real group. But I

211
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 2>see all the time things that I'm that I'm being

212
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.639
<v Speaker 2>targeted with, and I'm thinking, okay, like, if you're gonna

213
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.679
<v Speaker 2>listen to what I've listened to my conversations on my

214
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.759
<v Speaker 2>phone and have have info that I don't know how

215
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:20.240
<v Speaker 2>you get it, but you target me with it, Like

216
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:21.480
<v Speaker 2>what do you what are you listening to? Like, at

217
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 2>least give me something. A lot of times whenever I

218
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:27.320
<v Speaker 2>see something that pops up on anything the Internet, any platform,

219
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:29.080
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, wait a second, how do they know that?

220
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:30.720
<v Speaker 2>I was just thinking about that? A lot of times

221
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:32.960
<v Speaker 2>it's convenient. I'm kind of happy, Hey, you're right, there's

222
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:34.799
<v Speaker 2>a reminder I wanted to buy this and now there's

223
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:37.480
<v Speaker 2>an ad for it. So anyways, Oracle has been frequently

224
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:40.480
<v Speaker 2>mentioned as a strong candidate to purchase the company. They've

225
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:45.120
<v Speaker 2>got an existing relationship with TikTok and they've they've apparently

226
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:46.559
<v Speaker 2>they're at the top of the list as far as

227
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:51.200
<v Speaker 2>I guess, most likely to make the purchase here, So

228
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:54.080
<v Speaker 2>we shall see. But I don't think TikTok's going anywhere

229
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.879
<v Speaker 2>anytime soon, and selfishly, I'm happy about that. All right,

230
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.279
<v Speaker 2>We've got an update of traffic and whether coming your way.

231
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Also another update on sports right here on news Radio

232
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 2>eight forty WHS eight forty seven Here at Kentucky, Anda's

233
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 2>Morning News with Nick Coffee on news Radio eight forty

234
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.399
<v Speaker 2>whas we are wrapping things up here on a hump day,

235
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.120
<v Speaker 2>and we've got the one and only Tony Vanetti with us.

236
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.919
<v Speaker 2>Did you get a chance to watch the Cardinal nine yesterday?

237
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:23.080
<v Speaker 2>I hope you watched? What the Cardinal nine? The baseball team?

238
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:25.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm just throwing random baseball term?

239
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:26.480
<v Speaker 4>Is that?

240
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that's wrong? Is that a thing?

241
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know?

242
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.519
<v Speaker 2>I think the Cardinal nine is referred to as the

243
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:35.759
<v Speaker 2>Louisville baseball team. And again I feel like a poser

244
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 2>in a way because I don't really follow baseball at

245
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:42.080
<v Speaker 2>all at any level. However, postseason baseball in the College

246
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.759
<v Speaker 2>World Series, clearly it's much more interesting and I'm willing

247
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:46.960
<v Speaker 2>to watch and love watching when Louisville's playing. But even

248
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.080
<v Speaker 2>if they're not, like I would say, it's the most

249
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.440
<v Speaker 2>appealing baseball to me on television.

250
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.480
<v Speaker 3>It's fun and I got to tell you, it's a

251
00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:57.320
<v Speaker 3>perfect time and we just had the Assumption team in

252
00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:59.519
<v Speaker 3>yesterday and I mentioned to the coach, I was like,

253
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:02.200
<v Speaker 3>how hard is it to get the seniors to focus

254
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.240
<v Speaker 3>because they graduated May seventh or eighth or something like that,

255
00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 3>and they had prom and they had all that stuff

256
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.600
<v Speaker 3>as the playoffs were going on. Same story with college baseball.

257
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.799
<v Speaker 3>The semester's been over forever. But this is perfect timing

258
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.000
<v Speaker 3>for the World Series, right, there's nothing else. So Jackie

259
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.279
<v Speaker 3>is out of town, she's in Pittsburgh for business. She's

260
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.000
<v Speaker 3>in a bar watching watching U of L play. I'm

261
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 3>in Louisville watching It's captured the city and it was

262
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:31.879
<v Speaker 3>fun and again we thought we had it melt down

263
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.240
<v Speaker 3>and then the comeback. It's just it is. It's nerve wracking.

264
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a baseball guy, same here, so I did

265
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.159
<v Speaker 3>so watching it again, all the nuances to everything is

266
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.720
<v Speaker 3>crazy and I don't know, I don't know what they

267
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.840
<v Speaker 3>should be doing or which way to bunt the ball.

268
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:51.480
<v Speaker 2>But Dan McDonald, I mean, they could not have scripted

269
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:55.039
<v Speaker 2>a more dramatic three games that they've had. All of

270
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 2>them have been insane as far as the you know,

271
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:00.480
<v Speaker 2>the way it played out in their first loss, which

272
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.000
<v Speaker 2>of course they avenged that yesterday by beating Oregon State,

273
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.639
<v Speaker 2>but in the in the game against Arizona, I mean,

274
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:08.960
<v Speaker 2>what a what a comeback for them, And then yesterday

275
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:10.559
<v Speaker 2>it was it looked like it was going to be

276
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.320
<v Speaker 2>one of the all time meltdowns, only to then rally

277
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.559
<v Speaker 2>at the very end and walk it off bases loaded.

278
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:19.039
<v Speaker 3>No outs, and you're thinking, if they don't do it,

279
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:22.600
<v Speaker 3>You're like, you let that go, no outs and bases loading.

280
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:23.639
<v Speaker 3>Alls you need is one run.

281
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.000
<v Speaker 2>And had they lost, I mean I believe it would

282
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:29.279
<v Speaker 2>have I think most fans would have say, hey, that

283
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:31.080
<v Speaker 2>was a great there was a big bounce back for

284
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:32.879
<v Speaker 2>dam McDonald the program because it had been a while

285
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.840
<v Speaker 2>since they had that kind of success in the postseason.

286
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.960
<v Speaker 2>And I think, you know, just a loss without without

287
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.679
<v Speaker 2>that kind of a meltdown, it would have been a bummer.

288
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:41.639
<v Speaker 2>But had they lost in that fashion, it would have

289
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.559
<v Speaker 2>been a little bittersweet. You knew that they did make

290
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.679
<v Speaker 2>a big step forward and clearly they needed it, but man,

291
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:47.919
<v Speaker 2>that would have been a tough way to go.

292
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:51.799
<v Speaker 3>But what a scene the video of him in the

293
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.200
<v Speaker 3>game before where he's in the dugout, we're not waiting

294
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:58.440
<v Speaker 3>to the ninth. We've got four innings. We're going to

295
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.039
<v Speaker 3>put the ball in play. It's like a It was

296
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.799
<v Speaker 3>exactly like a movie, and he delivered his lines perfectly.

297
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:06.080
<v Speaker 3>I've never seen that side of Dann McDonald, right, like

298
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:09.840
<v Speaker 3>nobody's seen that side. He's also he's always stoic, has

299
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.360
<v Speaker 3>the right answer. He's one of the best human beings

300
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.000
<v Speaker 3>on the planet. Sometimes good things happen to good people,

301
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.399
<v Speaker 3>and that's what happened at the end of this year

302
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 3>with him.

303
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.240
<v Speaker 2>You said it last Friday before they got started in

304
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.799
<v Speaker 2>Omaha that this was a little bit different, just because

305
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.279
<v Speaker 2>there's somewhat of a there's there's a little bit of

306
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.879
<v Speaker 2>house money. Yep. When it comes to just they had

307
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:31.360
<v Speaker 2>no momentum when they ended the ACC Tournament and they

308
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.399
<v Speaker 2>got in and had to play the number one overall

309
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.200
<v Speaker 2>seed in Vandy, and they they knew they had they

310
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.399
<v Speaker 2>were up against it, I mean, playing Vandy in Nashville,

311
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.720
<v Speaker 2>but they rallied, got it done, knew they weren't expected

312
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.840
<v Speaker 2>to win, and they've just been playing loose and look

313
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.480
<v Speaker 2>at what they've they've been. They've been in tough situations

314
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:49.480
<v Speaker 2>as to where like most teams, I think would have

315
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 2>wil to. But I think they're just they're loose knowing

316
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:53.879
<v Speaker 2>they're they're not. They weren't expected to be here. And

317
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:56.840
<v Speaker 2>that's the difference in this trip to Omaha compared to

318
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:59.440
<v Speaker 2>the others. And how about the fans. I mean, on TV,

319
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:02.240
<v Speaker 2>it looks so great and you did sports for a really,

320
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.000
<v Speaker 2>really long time and social media wasn't then what it

321
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:08.600
<v Speaker 2>is now. What I think is really awesome to see

322
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:12.600
<v Speaker 2>that fans will never not love is when coaches of

323
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:15.799
<v Speaker 2>other sports are so clearly genuine when they're supporting when

324
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:16.200
<v Speaker 2>they're there.

325
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:16.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

326
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean there was a baseball player who put the

327
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:20.879
<v Speaker 2>UFL football helmet on after he got a big hit

328
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:24.039
<v Speaker 2>and he posted on Twitter and tagged Jeff Bram and

329
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.360
<v Speaker 2>then Jeff Brams responding like, hell, yeah, we're supporting you

330
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:29.679
<v Speaker 2>and the guys like, I mean, one, it's genuine, but

331
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:32.200
<v Speaker 2>also fans loved that stuff. We didn't have that with

332
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:33.679
<v Speaker 2>with Petrino and Patino.

333
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.440
<v Speaker 3>No, no, they were well that whole system wait and

334
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:38.559
<v Speaker 3>we can go back. And since Tom is coming back,

335
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:40.960
<v Speaker 3>there was the three silos. You know, there was Rick,

336
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.440
<v Speaker 3>there was Bobby, and there was Tom and everybody. You know,

337
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.919
<v Speaker 3>they portrayed the big family, but there was the three silos.

338
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.159
<v Speaker 3>Rick had his people, Bobby had his people, and Tom

339
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:51.120
<v Speaker 3>his people. And you know, we used to have that

340
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:54.559
<v Speaker 3>conversation on the endless sports shows three Hours of ull.

341
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:57.399
<v Speaker 2>Do you think that was a factor in one of

342
00:15:57.399 --> 00:15:59.879
<v Speaker 2>the factors in why Tom was so much more visible

343
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.200
<v Speaker 2>in his role as athletic director than elsewhere because Petrino

344
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.879
<v Speaker 2>and Patino won and fans clearly loved that, but they

345
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.799
<v Speaker 2>weren't real accessible. They weren't in any way relatable. I

346
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.840
<v Speaker 2>don't think you'll find a duo that was coaching at

347
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.399
<v Speaker 2>the time that was more unrelatable to fans than those two.

348
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:21.240
<v Speaker 2>But Tom was visible. Tom was everywhere and that it worked.

349
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean until it you know, until it didn't.

350
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:26.559
<v Speaker 3>No, it was. It was a golden era of U

351
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:29.360
<v Speaker 3>of L sports. There's no doubt about it. And I

352
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:32.000
<v Speaker 3>don't know if you ever have a twenty thirteen ever again.

353
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:33.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, who does what's.

354
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.919
<v Speaker 2>Cool does especially with this climate. I mean, you know,

355
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.720
<v Speaker 2>you can go up and down every year just because

356
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:42.200
<v Speaker 2>players can do whatever they want now they can leave. Yeah.

357
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.320
<v Speaker 2>Whatever the news came out yesterday about Tom, I've just

358
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.039
<v Speaker 2>since then, I've just been thinking about the era that

359
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:49.919
<v Speaker 2>was the Tom Jerch Air and of course how it

360
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:52.960
<v Speaker 2>came to a messy end. Does it seem like it's

361
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:54.039
<v Speaker 2>been as long as it.

362
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.159
<v Speaker 3>Has well, how long has it been since he left.

363
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:58.919
<v Speaker 2>It's been coming up on nine years, nine years. So

364
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:00.919
<v Speaker 2>part of me says it was he's a different world.

365
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:02.399
<v Speaker 2>Part of me says it was a few weeks ago

366
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:03.039
<v Speaker 2>when he was here.

367
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:04.839
<v Speaker 3>What a different planet we lived on.

368
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.799
<v Speaker 2>Much different And he has been away and when he

369
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:10.880
<v Speaker 2>does come back, he's certainly not visible, and that surprised

370
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:12.200
<v Speaker 2>me a little bit. I mean, the guy was below.

371
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:15.319
<v Speaker 3>No he's not, because his son is. He's part of

372
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:17.759
<v Speaker 3>our parish. So they're they're here in Louisville.

373
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Well really yeah, yeah, I didn't know his wife and

374
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.200
<v Speaker 2>the kids are holy trending. Well, I'm hopeful that the

375
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:26.240
<v Speaker 2>church family, and there's a lot of them can be

376
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:28.039
<v Speaker 2>here for this big, big day because I know it's

377
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:30.319
<v Speaker 2>going to be a special to the fans, that's for sure.

378
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, Tony and Dawider coming up next right here,

379
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:33.960
<v Speaker 2>and he was ready to avoorded BHS
