WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:11.560 On Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee. 2 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.879 So I just got the the text message, the automated 3 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.960 text message from Bullet County Public school System, and it 4 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.679 looks like NTI is going to be in place for us, 5 00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:26.920 and I'm not sure. I know Jefferson County Public Schools 6 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.239 is off tomorrow as well, and I think Hardin County 7 00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.320 also still has announced they're. 8 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.840 Going to be off school. So look, there's there's What 9 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:34.799 this comes down. 10 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:41.119 To is this is roads in areas that there's just 11 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:46.399 not like the weather was so severe and given the resources, 12 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:48.840 I guess that like this this region has because we 13 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.359 don't like this is in fact, I couldn't believe it, 14 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.240 but you know, I'm gonna trust it that it's a 15 00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.159 real story and it's not fake news from one of 16 00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:58.119 our local news outlets. I don't remember which one it was, 17 00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.399 but that this was the most snow law of had 18 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.240 in Like I mean, I saw like a crazy number 19 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.879 like twenty years, Like is that that to me? That 20 00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.920 sounds not right? But I don't know either way. Buses 21 00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.319 have to go to all these streets that like are 22 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.319 not on main roads, and there are so many like 23 00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.239 I think right now, like the big roads, main roads, 24 00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:19.439 even main roads for like little little community areas, if 25 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:20.879 that makes sense, are fine. 26 00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:24.280 But neighborhood roads, side streets anything that is. 27 00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.200 And believe it or not, I would have never known 28 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.120 this had it not been for whenever I was young, 29 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.439 my mom and my stepdad when they got together. 30 00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:33.599 That's where they still live now. 31 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:35.879 They live in a beautiful area with a ton of 32 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.120 ton of property and a just a beautiful spot over 33 00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.120 off of Seatonville Road, and you know that area there, 34 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.480 it's actually not far from where Denny Crumb had lived 35 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:47.280 for a long time. 36 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.599 So I didn't I never knew that rural areas existed. 37 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.120 In Louisville and Jefferson County because as somebody who grew 38 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.159 up in Bulla County, I just assumed that, you know, 39 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:57.799 it was just big city, a bunch of city slickers 40 00:01:57.799 --> 00:01:59.599 with a bunch you know, they didn't have farms, they 41 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.480 didn't have have you know, big fields and wide open areas. 42 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.439 Because I was just a dumb kid, and I was 43 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.439 already well aware of the stereotype about where I was from, meaning, 44 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.159 you know, we're a bunch of hillbillies. And then I 45 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:10.879 got older and I went to Fardell and realized that's 46 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.240 worse than Bullet County. Shout out Farde. Though I love 47 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.800 Faradoe people, but if you know, you know I live 48 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.199 out there, Fardell's the best. But I'll never forget. Whenever 49 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.000 I got old enough to like play sports and like 50 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.240 meet people that went to school out there and play 51 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.800 games out there, I remember thinking, like, wait a second, 52 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:28.520 why do we get the rap for like being the 53 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.719 ultimate you know, like hillbillies. 54 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.199 Do we wear shoes to school whenever? 55 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.840 Like they have a very you know, that's I wouldn't 56 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.039 say it's rural all the way through kind of like 57 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.080 where it is where I grew up, but it's certainly 58 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.479 blue collar and it's you know, it's not that different 59 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.879 than than certain areas of Bullet County where I grew up. 60 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.560 It's just such right outside the city enough to be 61 00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.199 blue collar kind of you know, yes, right there in 62 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.520 the outskirts and people, Well, let me ask you something 63 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.520 because I know people from there, and and my my dad, 64 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.639 who's also a loyal listener. Shout out Kirk for a listening. 65 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:00.879 But there's a lot of people out there, and I 66 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:02.680 want to see it. This same thing for Bullet County. 67 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.280 Like when they say, like they're from Kentucky, like they right, 68 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.639 they don't say they're from Louisville. A lot of people 69 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.400 in Faradelle they say they're they live in Fardelle, Kentucky. 70 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.479 Is that the same thing with all County. 71 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.360 Bullet County not as much? Like I think. 72 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.719 That's a great question, man, because I I think people 73 00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.479 who live in Bullet County, if they're traveling and somebody 74 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.520 asks them where they're from, they're gonna say Kentucky or 75 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:27.479 they're gonna say Louisville. 76 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:28.840 And I think it depends on where they are. 77 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.800 If you're in the region, you'll probably say Louisville, if 78 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.520 you're if you're in like Florida or New York, you'll 79 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.759 probably just say Kentucky because they're not. There are many 80 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:42.240 people like Louisville is a borderline top fifty city. Therefore, 81 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.560 like if you're in certain areas, like they may have 82 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.240 to think for a second where Louisville is, you know 83 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:47.960 what I mean? Like they probably know because the Derby 84 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.039 and if you are somebody that keeps up with cities. 85 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:51.560 Then you know you'll know Louisville. But you know, so 86 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:52.800 I think it depends on where you are. 87 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:58.759 But people from Faradale are really really proud to be 88 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:02.240 from Fairdale, absolutely, so they may say that, I mean, 89 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.479 people from Bullet County are pretty happy with where they're from. 90 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.400 But I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. So what you 91 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.719 did there is you just reminded me that like people 92 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.479 from like that. That's one of the things that stands 93 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.680 out about the South End that like, the South End 94 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.959 is well aware of your stereotypes and they don't give 95 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.680 a damn. They're proud to be from there, which I 96 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.120 think is kind of awesome. And the late Billy Reid 97 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.360 learned that the hard way. Billy passed away within the 98 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.240 last couple of years, and he was, of course the 99 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:33.399 legendary sports writer. But he the last story that he 100 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.040 or the last I don't know if it was a story, 101 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:36.199 if it was just a comment he made. 102 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:37.480 I think it was a story that he had written. 103 00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:39.319 I think it was a column. 104 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:40.600 It was a column he was writing for one of 105 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.040 the local TV stations and he made a comment about 106 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.800 I mean he was I remember at that time kind 107 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.079 of gosh, this is this is so awful to say, 108 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.040 But I'm just telling the truth. Here is I'm telling 109 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:53.199 stories and kind of going back in time. I remember 110 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.759 stopping in my tracks reading it, thinking like is this 111 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:02.600 real one? Because like it was so obvious what was 112 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.519 gonna come of it? And also like you just, I 113 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.199 mean like it was it was. I wasn't even from there, 114 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.600 and I was offended for those people, like I don't 115 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:13.120 want to act like it was, you know, the crown 116 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.120 of the century. And I think he honestly as much 117 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.319 criticism as as he got, I think he also I 118 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.040 think he also, you know, got a little bit of 119 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:21.920 a pass because he was, I mean he was old. 120 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.000 He was very old at the time that happened. Maybe 121 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.839 some people just assumed he wasn't in his right mind. 122 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.920 But I was cutting my grass at our at the 123 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:33.600 house we used to live in, and I remember stopping 124 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.279 to get a beer and I got my phone out 125 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:36.959 and one of my buddies had texted me this and 126 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.800 said it's this real. And I remember, like I crushed 127 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.639 the whole beer. Not to brag, but you know, I 128 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:44.639 was trying to say, like I was just kind of 129 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:46.879 in disbelief. Before I started the mower and finished the yard, 130 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.319 I was like, this is crazy, and I'm thinking, hum, 131 00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:51.920 will this be like something to bring up on the show. 132 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:53.639 And by the time I finished the yard and got 133 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.920 a shower and checked social media again, like it was. 134 00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:57.600 All anybody was talking about everywhere. 135 00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.519 Yeah, like people who don't even follow sports, didn't kN 136 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.600 know Billy read was was like because because that's and 137 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.480 again this this is a shout out to the South End. 138 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.480 That's that's kind of their their brand. Like wait a second, 139 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:07.959 who said who said what. 140 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:09.959 About about us out here? Like wait, who do I 141 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.879 kind of call where? Yeah, folks, what you know, what 142 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:15.959 time is it? South Side? We outside? Like that's what 143 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.759 it turned into. And it was kind of a beautiful thing, 144 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:19.560 to be honest with you. 145 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.160 So yeah, I think people are are very proud to 146 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:24.759 be from there, which is which is great. 147 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.199 You know, you should be proud. 148 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:27.959 I mean maybe if you I don't know, I was 149 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:29.480 gonna say you should be proud no matter where you 150 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.040 come from, and that's probably not true, but like you 151 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.279 can't control it. If it's where you're from and it's 152 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.560 where you reside, then you know you might as well 153 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.000 embrace it the good the bad, even if it doesn't 154 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.800 balance out. Maybe there's more bad than good. You know, 155 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:45.279 I live I live a couple one hundred yards, well 156 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:50.120 a couple hundred yards roughly, well, that's probably it's probably 157 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.519 a little further than that I live. Not I live 158 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.800 probably less than a half a mile, uh from where 159 00:06:57.839 --> 00:06:59.519 I grew up. That's where I live now. It's where 160 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.959 my family, it's where I raised my family. It's my community. 161 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.959 H My parents same thing. They both grew up very 162 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.879 close to where I'm sitting right now. And you know, 163 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:11.879 clearly if you know the area I'm talking about, we've 164 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.000 been in the news for some not great stuff because 165 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.959 you know, it happens. We're not perfect, but you know 166 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.639 it's it's it's home to me. So I learned early on, 167 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.439 especially with a with a public platform like i'm, you know. 168 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:26.240 I need to embrace it. I mean, I'm gonna lift 169 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:26.600 us up. 170 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.360 I don't know if I'm if I'm helping the reputation 171 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.720 that we have in the Northern Bullet County area, but 172 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:36.199 you know I'm out here, I'm trying. So I you 173 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:39.000 got me sidetracked here because you're the people from Fardell. 174 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.319 They are happy and proud to be from there very much. So. 175 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:44.639 The reason I brought up the school system thing is 176 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.079 because in Bullet County, you know, there are so many 177 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.879 areas that you know, the people who plow the roads 178 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.560 that are in Jefferson County, it's not same people. There's 179 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.279 not as many resources in smaller areas like even Old 180 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.439 and Harden, and you know the counties that aren't you know, 181 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.160 Jefferson County, and they don't have a little So there's 182 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.480 so many If we would have had maybe I don't know, 183 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:08.279 a few minutes or an hour above freezing, it might 184 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.360 have given it might have you know, made a difference 185 00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:12.160 to where if they're out there, because what's happening now 186 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.240 is they're plowing streets as best they can, but it's 187 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.560 not it's so cold to where like nothing's melting organically. 188 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.560 Therefore some of these roads they might get cleared for 189 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.560 a few but then you know, gets even colder and 190 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:27.720 people drive on it, which actually spreads more of whatever 191 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.040 they're out there sloshing around in on their tires, and 192 00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.240 it just I think the reason you know that you're 193 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.320 seeing schools closed, I mean, he JCPS announced yesterday they 194 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.080 were gonna be off today and tomorrow, and I think 195 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:41.360 it's because they realize without the temperature getting warmer, it's 196 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.919 just gonna be tough to justify getting those buses out there. 197 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.440 So again, I know, I'm sure there are plenty of 198 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.480 people that listen that don't care, that that can't relate 199 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.480 because you know, they don't have children. And that's fine. 200 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.799 You're probably you know, you're not stressing at all about this. 201 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.559 You don't have to worry about school closings and all that. 202 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.240 But man, now that Bullet County has advised that they're 203 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.360 gonna do NTI and they're asking parents don't have a 204 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.600 chromebook to come and pick up their chromebook so their 205 00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:04.480 kids can go to school at home, because you know, 206 00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:05.960 they don't want to get them out on a bus. 207 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:06.519 Man. 208 00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:09.879 Angry parents are are are all over the Facebook comments 209 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.399 here for for the school systems, And I know I 210 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.840 just talked about it yesterday, and I need to just 211 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:17.039 set my phone down because I get distracted, man, Like, 212 00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:19.679 h I get distracted because I just, you know. 213 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:22.879 Angry about the school still being closed. 214 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.200 Yeah, like the fact, like I'll just know, I'll just 215 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:29.440 read for you the first comment I saw here. BCPs 216 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:34.000 can just go ahead and count my kids absent the 217 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.759 f I look like coming and picking up some chromebooks 218 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.559 in this weather, you won't run buses, but you want 219 00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.279 me to come pick up equipment so your employees can 220 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:47.759 do your job. Foh foh you know what that means, 221 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:48.120 don't you? 222 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:51.759 Oh yeah, f out of here like that. That's a 223 00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:54.840 mom Like, ye, she's had it. 224 00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:59.679 And what's crazy is like the people you're mad at, 225 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.840 like the like whoever you would come in contact with 226 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.279 to say that, if you were actually gonna say it 227 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.600 to somebody, rather than just bitching about it on Facebook, 228 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.600 they would probably say, Okay, cool, don't care. It's like 229 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.960 it's like the people who work you know, it's just 230 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:20.519 a standard associate at humongous corporations like Walmart, Kohle's or 231 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.440 Old Navy. I'm taking my business elsewhere. Is if that 232 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:25.759 person's gonna lose sleep at. 233 00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:26.240 Night, Like. 234 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:29.960 It's just it's you know, if you're a manager and 235 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:31.759 I you know, and I guess you never really wanted 236 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.960 to you know, you never really wanted to bubble up 237 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:34.600 and get you in trouble. 238 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:36.480 But this day and age, people don't care about those jobs. 239 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:38.720 I mean, that's one of the issues is that like 240 00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:41.360 they have a tough time getting employees, and the employees. 241 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:41.360 That do work. 242 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.080 They're like they know each day they go in something 243 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:45.759 might pop off and they just say, yeah, I'm out 244 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.480 of here, like I don't need this. So, you know, 245 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.679 if you want to not have your kids at school 246 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:53.919 and have them take you know, an absence because you 247 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:56.399 don't agree, then you have that choice. But there's also 248 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:59.240 consequences to said choices, you know. And here's what's funny 249 00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:01.039 that people who say that probably won't do it anyway. 250 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:04.519 So I don't know, I uh, somebody brought this up 251 00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:06.799 to me yesterday because I and I know, I'm you know, 252 00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:08.759 I'm getting sidetracked here. I'll promise you we'll move on 253 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:10.919 in just a second. But when I was discussing discussing 254 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.240 this yesterday on the show, how I really just couldn't 255 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:15.759 relate to people who the first thing that they want 256 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:17.639 to do when they get upset about some decision when 257 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:19.679 it comes to school being closed or not being closed, 258 00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.519 they just want to go to Facebook. And it's like 259 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.919 it's like just throwing out the bat signal. All it 260 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.320 takes is one angry parent and you got ten in 261 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.320 the comments and it just turns into some huge thing, 262 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.320 and it's it's kind of interesting to watch from from 263 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.360 from Afar. But I was just talking about like how 264 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.840 I couldn't I couldn't really you know, relate to it 265 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:41.440 at all. And you know, somebody brought up an idea 266 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:42.799 to me. One of my buddies text me, is like, 267 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.559 what if certain kids at a certain age we did 268 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.240 like a you know, it's a hypothetical situation, but there 269 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.039 was some kind of like a TV skit like Jimmy 270 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:55.320 Fallon to where Jimmy Fallon reads the awful things their 271 00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:59.240 parents post on Facebook about the school system, and I thought, 272 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:01.000 like the age ra for that they would be good. 273 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.159 It's probably like what I don't know, like seven eight, 274 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.720 maybe I don't know, something like that. But also, like, 275 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.399 to be honest, I would say the if the parents 276 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.759 saying that on Facebook, they're probably saying it in front 277 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:14.240 of their kid too, to be honest with you, like 278 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:19.240 that's probably you know, one and the same. So anyways, yeah, 279 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:24.480 the the the people out there that are shoveling driveways, 280 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.720 plowing business parking lots. I'm fascinated by this because this 281 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:30.639 has become a thing to where if it's something that 282 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.360 you do, like you have the ability, maybe you've got 283 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:36.720 a four wheeler. Maybe you've got you know, you've got 284 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.039 a truck that that's got the you know you can 285 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.559 put something on the front there and and and you 286 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:44.879 know you have the ability to provide a service that 287 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.960 is rarely needed, but man, it's really needed around here 288 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:50.840 right now, more than it ever has been. Like you 289 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:53.320 could probably make some real good money. I'm just curious, 290 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.240 like what you charge. I've met my wife for lunch today, 291 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.279 which is why my car is stuck in the driveway. 292 00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:01.240 But I'm I met my wife for lunch today and 293 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.919 we went to Roosters and their parking lot is like 294 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:10.000 completely cleared, like it's been completely completely removed of any snow, 295 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:12.960 and there's just like little mounds in certain areas that 296 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:15.559 aren't even taking up parking spots. So clearly they paid 297 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.720 somebody to come and do that. And I'm just thinking, like, man, 298 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:19.519 what do you think that cost? Like what do you 299 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:22.799 think because right now there's not as many of those 300 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:27.200 individuals or companies that can provide that service, then there 301 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:29.360 is the people that need it and rely on it 302 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:31.559 right now. So like you could probably start your price 303 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:36.480 pretty high and there'll be enough people, given how many 304 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.480 people need it to where there's enough that'll take you 305 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:40.120 up on whatever you're charging, and you can you. 306 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:44.440 Can make bank oh supply and demand, oh and and be. 307 00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:47.360 I mean again, like that's that's that's a big factor 308 00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:49.480 when it comes to how business is done in every 309 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:50.159 you know, in every. 310 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:50.919 Aspect of life. 311 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:53.919 But I feel like the timing of this and because 312 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:56.919 if you don't like again for me, like if I 313 00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:59.960 if I didn't have another vehicle and I didn't have 314 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.000 an ability to work from home, like I would have 315 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.960 to have somebody come and fix my driveway so I 316 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.080 can get my car. Because the issue I have now 317 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.120 for those who missed it, my in Austin, you've seen 318 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:13.120 the picture. Now not good, right, I sent Austin the picture. 319 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:13.600 It's not good. 320 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:14.120 My car. 321 00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.600 My vehicle is completely sideways on my driveway on a 322 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.039 big hill, so I can't go forward or backward. 323 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:23.360 I'm literally just stuck wait to thow out. 324 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.559 So and it won't we aren't getting warmer weather for 325 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:27.679 like day, like it's gonna be a long time. Yeah, 326 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:31.200 So you know, like I luckily I probably can can 327 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:34.360 make do with you know, my wife's vehicle. And again 328 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:36.080 I'm fortunate I have the ability to work from home 329 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.039 all that kind of stuff. But if I didn't, like 330 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:40.919 I'm not sure, Like if the cheapest price to get 331 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.320 it done was, like, you know, just my driveway a 332 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:45.440 couple hundred bucks, I wouldn't want to pay it, but 333 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:47.639 I'd have to because I can't do it and I need, 334 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:50.240 you know, I gotta go to work. I gotta, I gotta, 335 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:51.519 you know, I gotta gotta be. 336 00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:53.519 Grown up, got to put food on the table. 337 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.480 Which luckily I still you know, can can be halfway 338 00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:56.919 grown up? 339 00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:58.919 Or take your wife out launch on a snow down. 340 00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.080 Yeah, I mean again, it's all her fault, but you 341 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.720 know it's it's it's a gift in a curse, right, Like, 342 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.279 am I surprise my wife was itching to go on 343 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.440 a date with me today for lunch. No, I mean, 344 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.159 look at what she's got. She wants to come on, 345 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:14.679 she wants to, you know, take full advantage of having 346 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:18.120 a husband like me.
