WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.359 It is eight oh four here at Kentucky Anda's Morning 2 00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:06.480 News on News Radio eight forty whas thank you for 3 00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:07.480 hanging out with us. 4 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:09.519 Going to be another hot day today. 5 00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:11.800 In fact, it's been a hot week thus far, got 6 00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.080 up to ninety yesterday. That may happen today before the 7 00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:19.480 rain arrives expected tomorrow and on Friday as well. A 8 00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:21.679 story that we have certainly talked about quite a bit 9 00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:23.519 in the last couple of days, and that is what's 10 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.079 taking place on Barchtown Road the last two weekends, no 11 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.800 surprise Mayor Greenberg, Chief Humphrey obviously getting out in front 12 00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:35.039 and letting residents, letting business owners know that they're gonna 13 00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.399 As Mary Greenberg said, there's really no there's nothing that's 14 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:40.920 off the table as far as what needs to be 15 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:42.880 done to get this fixed. And I think we have 16 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.119 some early signs of progress regarding that. It's tough to 17 00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:48.560 know for sure, right we'll see this weekend if in 18 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:52.119 fact there is real progress made as far as one 19 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.640 keeping that kind of stuff from happening, but also holding 20 00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.840 those accountable as best you can who. 21 00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:57.240 Break the law. 22 00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.759 You've got a bar that is already that they will 23 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.040 in fact go ahead and shut down earlier. That's Highland Taphouse. 24 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.040 They decided to start closing at two am instead of 25 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.200 four am. That could lead to other businesses maybe deciding 26 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.400 to do the same thing. And this isn't necessarily progress, 27 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:16.760 but it is at least a sign that they are 28 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.560 going to make sure that these businesses that may be 29 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:21.680 cutting corners and doing things that they shouldn't do, that 30 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.239 they're held accountable. Greenberg last night mentioned that the Louisville 31 00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.200 Metro Police Department, I'm sorry, the Lottle Metro Department of 32 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.000 Public Health and Wellness made a visit to friends hohok 33 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:31.920 A lounge on Bargetown Road and they were able to 34 00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:35.120 determine that the business I was operating with an expired license. 35 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.719 So they have been ordered to remain closed until that 36 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:39.000 issue is resolved. 37 00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:39.879 So again we'll see. 38 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.480 And does sound as if they are certainly ready to 39 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.319 hold those accountable that do in fact break the law. 40 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.760 I mean, that's what that's what they' that's what they're there, 41 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.840 that's what they are there to do. And if I 42 00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:53.719 was you, I certainly wouldn't test that, but that you know, 43 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.760 that's just me. Also, when it comes to UL baseball hosting, 44 00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.719 the Super Regional just two wins away from Omaha. You've 45 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.200 got excitement back for Loule of a baseball and it's 46 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:04.879 been a while. Not to say that those that are 47 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.000 fans just haven't been interested, but whenever you're hosting a 48 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.400 big event like this and it's a best of three 49 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.879 series with a chance to get to Omaha, the energy 50 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.560 is back. And I swear whenever I saw yesterday that 51 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.080 this was the first time they're hosting a Super Regional 52 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.159 since twenty nineteen, it kind of took me back, just 53 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:23.800 because I'm thinking there's no way could be that long. 54 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.439 But it has been quite some time, but that energy 55 00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:28.639 has returned and a lot of folks looking to get tickets. 56 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.560 Should be a good weekend out there at Jim Patterson Stadium. 57 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.560 Also coming up here before too long, we're going to 58 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.080 bring in Rory O'Neil of NBC News and talk about 59 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.599 something I didn't expect to be talking about, but maybe 60 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.199 I shouldn't be surprised. That is the increase in marijuana 61 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.560 usage among seniors. In fact, it's at an all time 62 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.400 high right now. So we'll talk to Rory about that 63 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.759 as well as get an update from him on the 64 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.719 latest when it comes to the fighting that's going on 65 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.879 in Ukraine. Something we talked about earlier is the return 66 00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:00.319 of a very popular McDonald's menu item. I've never it, 67 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.159 but clearly I'm well aware how popular that it was. 68 00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:04.680 And I say it was because they went they got 69 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.840 rid of it. The snack Rap was removed from the 70 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.800 menu in twenty sixteen, and yesterday McDonalds announced they're bringing 71 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.639 it back. As of July tenth, the snack Rap is 72 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.840 going to return. They're gonna have a couple of different flavors, 73 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.000 spicy and ranch, and it's gonna be with their new 74 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.919 Mick Crispy strips. And it fascinates me to see just 75 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.520 how many people are over the moon about this, just 76 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.560 absolutely on cloud nine because a fast food item is returning. 77 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.319 And I don't say that to poke fun or shame them, 78 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.240 because I get it. There's menu items and well, that's 79 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.000 what we discussed is fast food items that went away 80 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.039 and then these companies realized, oh wait, we should bring 81 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.000 this back. It's really popular. The McRib was one long ago, 82 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.560 the Taco Bell, Mexican Pizza, Windy Spicy chicken nuggets. I 83 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.159 talked about the chicken fries returning in Burger King. I 84 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:51.960 was really excited about that. Many years ago. I forgot 85 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.400 about the double down at KFC that returned for that 86 00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.000 return for a limited time there. 87 00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:58.960 That was the Yeah, that was the one where they 88 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.879 just brought out the two chicken strips basically chicken breasts. 89 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:04.560 Really it looks like a heart attack. 90 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:07.719 And I think, you know, it's funny. 91 00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.159 You and I were talking about TikTok and what's on there, 92 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.120 and I've found some nostalgic recipes. 93 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.319 I actually made your own version. 94 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.800 Well, the copycat recipe the way KFC used to taste. 95 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.920 If you've been to Claudia Sanders at all, yes, that's 96 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.519 the closest I can get to the way KFC used 97 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.600 to taste back when I was a kid. So I 98 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.560 decided to give the copycat recipe a shot, and I 99 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:31.600 gotta admit, man. 100 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.399 It good. Yeah, it's just heavy on the papri rika. 101 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.560 You start to figure out what the actual eleven herbs 102 00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.639 and spices are if you like, I like to play 103 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:40.240 in the kitchen. 104 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:42.120 So after a while you kind of have an idea. 105 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.199 But you know, you go back and some of these 106 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.920 copycat recipes have come to fruition that I've done very well. 107 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.199 Some have been way off something. 108 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.519 Yes, you never really know that you give it a shot, right, 109 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.519 So there have been fast food items that were popular 110 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.279 then returned to stay, or then they returned just for 111 00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:59.279 a limited time. And there's also fast food items that 112 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:03.000 you may forget existed. And these restaurants probably hope that 113 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.680 you forget that it ever existed because they were big busts. 114 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.560 I don't remember eating this one. I probably didn't because 115 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:10.399 I was very young at the time that it came out. 116 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.920 But I remember the McDonald's Arch Deluxe. Yeah, that was 117 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:17.600 a gourmet burger with a quarter pound patty, bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese, 118 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.560 and a mustardy mustard mayonnaise sauce. And it had a 119 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.600 potato flour bun. But it flopped. It was McDonald's attempting to, 120 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.759 I guess, give you a sophisticated burger, and it didn't 121 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.279 work out. I don't remember these, but I'm not surprised 122 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.319 they didn't work out. Burger King had satisfries. It was 123 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.879 a lower calorie crinkle cut fry with forty percent less 124 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.079 fat than the regular fries. And you know, there's nothing 125 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.040 wrong with given somebody a healthy option, but they probably 126 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:44.240 need to taste pretty good. 127 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:45.800 And I guess I guess these. 128 00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.920 Did not remember Burger King had the international sandwiches. 129 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.600 Burger King's not to take a swing on it at all. 130 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.240 Which, by the way, I meant to ask you last 131 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:54.920 time we did this segment, who do you prefer when 132 00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.079 it comes to like either the big Mac or the Whopper? 133 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.279 Do you have a preference honestly? Whopper? 134 00:05:59.519 --> 00:05:59.720 Yeah? 135 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:01.879 You know I I don't have them often, but when 136 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.240 I do it pretty good. You do you remember Taco 137 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:10.600 Bell's seafood salad believe that real? That sounds salad with 138 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:15.279 strength whitefish SnO cred. Yeah, that happened in the eighties, 139 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.319 which ill, Yeah, I'm glad to see that did not 140 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.199 stick around. Oh that makes my stomach sure they same here? 141 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:23.480 Can you imagine me in a meeting somebody pitching that. 142 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.720 How about a seafood salad at a fast food restaurant? 143 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:27.240 Yikes? 144 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.600 All right, another update of trafficking Weather's coming your way 145 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:30.319 right here on news. 146 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.199 Radio eight forty whas. 147 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.519 It is eight sixteen here at Kentucky this morning News 148 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.519 Nick coffee with you as we take you up until 149 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.639 nine o'clock and then we'll hand it off to Tony 150 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:45.279 and Dwight. This is a breakdown from Northwestern Mutual that 151 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.279 I wanted to discuss and I find it to be interesting. 152 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.600 I hope you guys do as well. But it's a 153 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:55.439 it's a study, and sometimes you know, the findings within 154 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.480 a study are are interesting and worthwhile, But then sometimes 155 00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:02.720 you realize that do we really mean do we really 156 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:04.959 need the study? Like almost read you, this is just 157 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.439 the headline here. Study financial uncertainty is making people feel 158 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:14.639 depressed and anxious. That's like study people who commit crimes 159 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.360 end up in jail more than those who don't. Oh ka, 160 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:19.639 I mean that to me, that's a very obvious thing 161 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:24.600 that financial uncertainty, stress about money and your finances is 162 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.920 going to make you anxious and maybe even depressed. 163 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:29.639 But nearly two thirds. 164 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:32.360 Of Americans sixty three percent admit money worries have kept 165 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.560 them up at night. According to Northwestern Mutuals Planning and 166 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:37.759 Progress study, which has just came out, it finds that 167 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:40.920 sixty nine percent say financial uncertainty has left them feeling 168 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:44.720 anxious and depressed. Even our love lives are affected, as 169 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.480 fifty seven percent of those who are married or living 170 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.959 with a partner say financial uncertainty has impacted their relationship. 171 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.399 That's not anything positive. But I cannot say in any 172 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:56.639 way that I'm surprised at all, because I get it. 173 00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.360 I mean, yeah, I can be stressful. 174 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.279 If you're worried about money. But that's what's when you 175 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:01.800 mentioned that. 176 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.920 I mean, it's kind of like politics, you know, in 177 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.959 some weird way, we're still having the same arguments, and 178 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.959 I'm hearing the same things from people today that my 179 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.600 old man was saying forty years ago. And when Northwestern 180 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.519 Mutual comes out with a study like this, yeah, it's okay, 181 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.680 captain obvious next and it's that, Yeah, of course people 182 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:20.480 are worried about. 183 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:21.279 Their finances right now. 184 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:23.079 And I think for the first time, I didn't get 185 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.600 into the whole price thing because normally I just go 186 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.720 in and I buy stuff. I don't worry about paying it. 187 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.959 And yeah, now I'm starting to see it. Like, for example, 188 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:34.279 there are some like I told you, I love my 189 00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.720 chocolate craving at night. I noticed a big jump in 190 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:38.840 the chocolate I like to buy. I mean, you're talking 191 00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:41.480 like a two dollars and fifty jump. That's a pretty 192 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.159 big If you start tolling. 193 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:44.039 That card did not notice that. 194 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:45.279 Yeah, I don't mind. 195 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.200 I'm okay with price fluctuations like if gas goes up 196 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.799 a nickel or ten cents, even fifteen cents, I'm okay 197 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:51.120 with that. 198 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.399 As I've discussed and probably shouldn't admit, I'm kind of 199 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.679 an adult. Like my wife does all the grocery shopping. Yeah, 200 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:01.120 she handles a lot of our finances. So oftentimes don't 201 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.960 really buy anything unless I need it. I'm talking about 202 00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:07.679 getting gas, getting food, if I need to grab a 203 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:10.799 bite to eat. I mean, like, I so what I'm 204 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:12.519 going to get. It's not like I don't ever look 205 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:14.639 at any price. But I feel like regardless, if you're 206 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:16.799 somebody like myself or somebody that is in charge of 207 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.559 getting the groceries every week for your family and you're 208 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.120 monitoring price, well, good for you. You're probably you know, you're 209 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.240 probably noticing some things, and you're maybe able to save 210 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:27.000 some money. So honestly, I should be more like you. However, 211 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:28.840 I don't know what you're seing. I don't know what 212 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:30.840 situation you could be into where you have not noticed 213 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.879 that when you go to purchase something that maybe you 214 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.919 just get somewhat regularly. Maybe you get it a few 215 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.159 times a year. It's more like nothing being more expensive 216 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:40.799 should surprise anybody right now. 217 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:41.200 Not at all. 218 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.360 And now on the flip side of that, there are 219 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.200 things I think stores, grocery stores, local grocery stores are 220 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.559 here doing a good job at putting certain things on sale, 221 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:51.559 so you have to it takes a little bit more 222 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:52.720 personal responsibility. 223 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:54.159 For example, I love strawberries. 224 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.960 Well, I find a great deal on strawberries yesterday, and 225 00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.440 I stocked up, and I'll see a great deal on 226 00:09:58.519 --> 00:09:59.600 other stuff that I see. 227 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:01.279 I think stores do a great job. 228 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.600 And with these new apps that we get now where 229 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.000 they can track what we spend, that is a fantastic 230 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.879 tool for everybody because then I get the weekly cute. 231 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:09.879 Bond sent to me in the mail. 232 00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:12.559 I mean, there's way we got incentive to make that 233 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:15.000 store where you go because you know you're gonna be 234 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.720 I mean, that's there's a good there's a good reason 235 00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:18.159 for doing that. 236 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:18.519 For sure. 237 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.240 There's personal responsibility at hand here, and I think both 238 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:22.639 sides are making strides to meet. 239 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:22.879 In the middle. 240 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.399 It is here that thirty nine percent of gen z 241 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:28.440 and thirty eight percent of millennials, it is it has 242 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.159 them feeling the anxiousness and depression at times on a 243 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.960 weekly basis. So look, I get it. Money, money worries 244 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.039 is always going to be a stressful thing. And obviously 245 00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:41.399 things are very expensive now, and you know some people, 246 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.799 you know, they've had to probably sacrifice and maybe make 247 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.679 some changes to their to what they do because times 248 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.720 are hard. I get it, all right, quick break, we'll 249 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.879 come back on. We'll come back here in just just 250 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:52.720 a few minutes and get you an update on sports. 251 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:53.080 You're up. 252 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.200 Your next update on weather and traffic is coming up 253 00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:59.559 right here on Who's ready? Wait forty whas? All right, 254 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:01.639 it's ay forty five here Kentucky at this morning news 255 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:04.720 on News Ready eight forty whas. We'll be handing it 256 00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:08.480 off to Tony and Dwight here shortly, Tony, have you 257 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.480 seen any of the pictures floating around on social media 258 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.120 actor Terrence Howard hanging out in Louisville. No, so they're 259 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:17.919 filming a movie and it's on pause because of a 260 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.840 strike that's going on with the crew. And this is 261 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:22.639 actually right around Derby time, I think where he was 262 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.039 first spotted at a breakfast place in the Highlands, and 263 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.000 then I don't know how recent the picture is, but 264 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:29.639 somebody posted it yesterday and it wouldn't shock me if 265 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:31.159 it's within the last couple of days where he was 266 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.759 out and about somewhere and they got a picture and 267 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.519 he smirked as if like, Okay, this is the acknowledgment 268 00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:40.240 that yes, I'm who you think I am. And spotting 269 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:44.120 celebrities during Derby Week, spotting celebrities at Churchill Downs, or 270 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.519 like even in an airport at a big city, you 271 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:49.919 might be taken aback like, oh wow, that's such and such, 272 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.000 or wait a second, is that who I think it is? 273 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.480 And then you consider situation, circumstance where you are, and 274 00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:58.519 it would make sense. But running into a random celebrity 275 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:00.200 in some of the most random play like this, there's 276 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.559 probably been sightings that someone thought that that might be it, 277 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:04.519 but they're thinking. 278 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:04.840 On no way. 279 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:05.759 Uh. 280 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.279 What my experience in the last thirty five years being 281 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:11.039 in media in Louisville is that Louisvillians really don't they 282 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:15.679 care that you're over there. But they're not stargazers. They're 283 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.080 not like Rick Patino said it. Rick said in Lexington, 284 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.480 I couldn't go to dinner. He goes in Louisville, people 285 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:22.639 don't care. I'm in the restaurant and that's it, and 286 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.039 they don't even They might look over and say, yeah, 287 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:26.879 that's Rick Patino. But he was like, there's a big 288 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.799 difference in Louisville. I think I don't know why that is, 289 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.120 but we don't mob celebrities in Louisville. It's like, oh, 290 00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:35.159 that's so and so cool. 291 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.799 Speaking of mobbing celebrities, back in the day, it would 292 00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:42.200 be mobbing to say hello and find something that they 293 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.000 could sign. I can't relate. I know, you sign a 294 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.720 lot of autographs, take a lot of pictures. I've never 295 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:49.759 that's not my life. Maybe I'll get there one day, 296 00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:53.000 like you and Dwight. Remember those shiny, glossy pictures they 297 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:53.399 used to have. 298 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:55.200 I don't think people do that, right. 299 00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:58.000 I mean, well, welcome McClain showed up. They had thirty 300 00:12:58.039 --> 00:12:59.600 of them. Nobody took one of them, and then they 301 00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:01.519 put an in it. I mean, that's that's what happened. 302 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:05.440 But anyways, nobody's getting on like it's lost to me. 303 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.840 Think a celebrity son an autograph. There wasn't like memorabilia 304 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.440 as an athlete. Now it's all about getting your phone 305 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:10.200 out getting a selfie. 306 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:11.919 So I think most of the time you go to 307 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.399 those cosplays whatever, those little nerd conventions that they have 308 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.159 where you know, like the stars of Jaws are there, 309 00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:24.120 or like Freddy Krueger is yeah, yeah, those comic Yeah, 310 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.240 the comic con things like there's one in Lexington it's 311 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.200 called Freyfest and the Freddy Krueger guy is going to 312 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.720 be there, like they do their signings there. Plus there's 313 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.519 also like people stop asking for autographs really, I think. 314 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.240 But then the guys they sell it online, like if 315 00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:39.159 you've ever been to like. 316 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:39.879 A sports thing. 317 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:41.799 It's a real big in sports to where athletes now 318 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.639 know I'm not signing it. You're just going to try 319 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:43.879 to make. 320 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.399 A bunch of money. Yes, And we used to do shows, 321 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.480 whether it be a former UFL player there or something 322 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:51.120 like that, old timer and he would they would get 323 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.720 mad because again they were somebody would show up at 324 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:55.360 twenty things and the guy would say, look, man, I'm 325 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:58.000 not signing twenty things. I'll sign something for you, but 326 00:13:58.080 --> 00:13:59.720 I know what you're doing and I'm not doing that, 327 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:01.080 which I think was a cool deal. 328 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:01.399 Whatever. 329 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.279 The guy I understood was like, oh okay, man, I. 330 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.120 Don't understand it. And again, people can spend their money 331 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:06.919 on whatever they want. I'm sure I spend money on 332 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:08.720 things that people would never want to spend money on, 333 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.600 but I've always not been able to relate to those 334 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.840 who really want. Like, memorability that you hang up in 335 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.919 your home is cool, but saying something is now worth 336 00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:22.399 a million dollars because it was signed by somebody, I mean, well, you. 337 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.679 See him more now. So social media and the internet. 338 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:29.120 You see these people in starsay life, right, So that's 339 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:32.240 you know, that's one thing, But you don't want to 340 00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:35.120 meet a lot of these people. Oh yeah, you don't 341 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:38.840 want to know st your heroes. Mickey Mantle. Uh, there's 342 00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:41.240 a book called The Last Boy Boy Scout and you 343 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:45.559 should read that because the press would not cover like Kennedy, 344 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.480 and up until Kennedy they would didn't. They didn't cover 345 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.960 Actually after Kennedy, they wouldn't cover the private lives of 346 00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:54.320 these stars, and Mickey Mantle was that and he was 347 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.399 sort of the last boy Scout. Is what they're saying 348 00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:58.759 is make sense. The New York Press said, we have 349 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.879 to cover that he's a and a womanizer and he's 350 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.759 not a very good person like we have to keep 351 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.200 their business. And they finally broke that fourth wall, I guess, 352 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.159 journalist wise, journalism wise, and said we got to cover this. 353 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:14.480 And then after that they started covering the TMZ type 354 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:17.639 of the athletes. But before then that the private lives 355 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:18.639 were off limits. 356 00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:21.519 Yeah, and it's wild how it's gone completely the opposite 357 00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:24.639 direction over many, many, many years, because now they want 358 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.840 to try to find anything they can on you, because 359 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.200 that's now good, that's what it's now good for the business, 360 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.440 whereas previously, you know, it was better for them. If 361 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:33.919 everybody's just still in awe by this, I mean, it's 362 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.080 tough to say because we don't know this for certain, 363 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.840 but man, it certainly feels like nobody benefited from the 364 00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:42.759 timing of culture and society, especially technology lack of social 365 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:43.639 media than Michael. 366 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:47.480 Jordan's right, Michael Jordan is the smartest dude walking on 367 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:51.240 the planet, because here I heard he did not engage 368 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:53.720 in any of that stuff. And boy, if there's a 369 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:58.759 time now that stars and athletes need to just shut 370 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:03.159 up and move along, is this culture of you're either 371 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.240 a devil or the saint. And right now I'm not 372 00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:08.120 saying you shouldn't have in your opinion and you're for 373 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:10.639 this or that, but right now would be smart for 374 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:12.440 people to say, I have no comment. 375 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:17.200 So Reggie Miller was my favorite athlete growing up. I mean, 376 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.720 he was the guy pretended to be shooting basketball in 377 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:24.519 the driveway. And when Louisville played against Minnesota in Des 378 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:27.679 Moines in the NCAA Tournament, he was on the call 379 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.360 and we had the open practice, the media and FanFest 380 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:32.679 thing that went on the day before, and he was 381 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:35.279 he was probably within I don't know ten feet of me, 382 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:37.600 and I thought, I can't believe it. I mean all 383 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:39.840 but I thought to myself, I'm not doing it. There's 384 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:42.759 no the chance to where this would end up being 385 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.200 an experience that I felt was worth. It is not 386 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:48.399 as good asking him giving me an impression of himself 387 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.399 that I would feel like he's no longer this guy 388 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:51.960 that he was my hero. 389 00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:54.759 Now the opposite was Kareem. My hero now is White Whitten, 390 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:56.399 who just walked in. By the way, he cobbled in 391 00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:57.559 Reggie Miller. 392 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:01.279 Reggie Miller out Dwight Whitten in us up Nick coffee, 393 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:02.240 how we feeling. 394 00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:03.159 Coffee man like to drink? 395 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.480 Okay, he's got his sunglasses on still inside. 396 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:09.039 So this is just by chance, okay, the only reason 397 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:12.559 I've got. I'm not pissed off, I'm not hungover, none 398 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:12.759 of that. 399 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:14.839 I thought this was an insult. 400 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.119 You're reminding me with your sunglasses you're a little hungover 401 00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:18.799
