1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.600
<v Speaker 1>It's eight oh five here on a Monday morning. Happy

2
00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Monday to you, Kentucky, and it is Kentucky and this

3
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.759
<v Speaker 1>morning news Coffee and Company with you on news radio

4
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>eight forty w h AS. So, the suspect is still

5
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:16.559
<v Speaker 1>at large who shot and killed a woman last week

6
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.559
<v Speaker 1>who was walking her child to a bus stop, And

7
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.320
<v Speaker 1>of course that was just the second. That was the

8
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.719
<v Speaker 1>second shooting in that exact same area, same bus stop,

9
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>in a six day window. So you know, that's something

10
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>that hopefully sooner rather than later, they're going to be

11
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:34.600
<v Speaker 1>able to find out who this who this individual is

12
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.920
<v Speaker 1>and get them off the streets, not only to keep

13
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the city safer with one less violent criminal out there,

14
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>but also just of course to you know, bring some

15
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>level of justice. I mean, that's that's that's what's needed,

16
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>of course. But yeah, just when you look at last

17
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 1>week's events, I felt like towards the end of the

18
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 1>week and I'm gonna I'm gonna probably not do a

19
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:58.479
<v Speaker 1>great job it really putting this into words the way

20
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:02.759
<v Speaker 1>I want to, because every thing about the week that

21
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:04.879
<v Speaker 1>we had in Louisville, and it's not just one week,

22
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 1>but man, the week that you had the school bus

23
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>stop shooting on the first day of school, and then

24
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the violent situation where a woman had somebody breaking, you know,

25
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>home invasion, and then kidnap her and her two daughters

26
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and then take them with him to rob a bank

27
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:21.959
<v Speaker 1>and stabbed her. I mean, just an awful situation. And

28
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>then again you had another school bus stop shooting where

29
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>somebody lost their life. And then within twenty four hours,

30
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>in fact, less than twenty four hours after that happened.

31
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>There were two other murders.

32
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 1>So these things have happened way more than like you

33
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:37.319
<v Speaker 1>would ever want me you never wanted to happen at all.

34
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 1>This is where this is where I get tripped up,

35
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>because any occurrence is a tragic, tragic situation. But it

36
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 1>felt like the week just it being a realization of wow,

37
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>like not only has this been an issue for a while,

38
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>but it just seemed like there was a realization and

39
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>more of a heightened awareness of just how bad off

40
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.439
<v Speaker 1>we are when it comes to violent crime. Now again,

41
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.439
<v Speaker 1>I say that knowing that there has actually been some

42
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>improvements that you should acknowledge because it's real. It's it's

43
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 1>some encouragement, I suppose. But now that we're here into

44
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>the next week and the story is not as fresh.

45
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 1>I just I hope that, you know, because I feel

46
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>like the heightened awareness to it. Who knows if this

47
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.479
<v Speaker 1>is even real or what would even come of it,

48
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>But I felt like there were people who, maybe more

49
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:30.439
<v Speaker 1>so now being aware, would be more inclined to just

50
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>figure out how they can help. And we had Mayor

51
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Greenberg one on Friday, and obviously he shared some things

52
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 1>that people can do just because they want to help.

53
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>And you know, obviously you should always report whatever you see,

54
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 1>share any information you have with the police, but also

55
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>get involved in your community, figure out ways you can

56
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 1>maybe be a part of programs that are that are

57
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>in place to help children who don't have any support

58
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 1>system at home, don't clearly have a good structure at

59
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 1>home with parents, and they end up finding some acceptance

60
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:06.360
<v Speaker 1>finding I guess where they feel welcomed and appreciated in

61
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 1>a life of violence with gangs. And you know, to me,

62
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that's just I think it's pretty obvious what's happened here

63
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>is that, and and that's and no, not every situation

64
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>is the same, but I do feel like we clearly

65
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>have a violent crime issue for a variety of reasons.

66
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>But one being the jew You know, children, they they

67
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>clearly don't have good structure at home, as I mentioned,

68
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.439
<v Speaker 1>and they they find acceptance with gangs, and gangs are

69
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>getting more you know, I guess we're basically gangs are

70
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>being given resources to continue to be you know, violent

71
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 1>and and a real threat to the safety of our city.

72
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:49.439
<v Speaker 1>And because some of these young kids aren't being taken

73
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>into juvenile detention centers for long stays, they end up

74
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 1>committing violent crime and then getting released and doing it again.

75
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>And it's really kept probably gang members from having to

76
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>truly get their hands involved in crime. And they're utilizing

77
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>these young, impressionable children who again they they look at

78
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.080
<v Speaker 1>it as that's there, that's that's maybe probably the first

79
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>thing in their life that they felt where they belong

80
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>and they feel appreciated. And it's just a cycle that

81
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I think without real action, things aren't going to change.

82
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>And it does sound like there is some action that's

83
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:24.439
<v Speaker 1>going to take place. And what I mean by that is,

84
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, we had last week some pretty strong words

85
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>from our local leaders stating that you're gonna be you're

86
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna be treated like an adult, and they're they're trying

87
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>to figure out ways in which they're going to be

88
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>able to hold parents accountable because of their children committing

89
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 1>violent crimes. And clearly that's a slippery slope, but something's

90
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.920
<v Speaker 1>got to give. So again, I hopefully we get some

91
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of information sooner rather than later as far as

92
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>identifying the suspect and then figuring out where they are

93
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.759
<v Speaker 1>and you know, taking them into custody again for a

94
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 1>variety of different reasons, not just because uh, you know,

95
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>of justice, but also because this is that would be

96
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.720
<v Speaker 1>one less dangerous person out there that you know is

97
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.160
<v Speaker 1>a threat to our safety in Louisville.

98
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:07.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's talk about.

99
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Buying and selling a home. I know right now does

100
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 1>not seem like maybe the best time to do either,

101
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.199
<v Speaker 1>but you may be surprised to know that you are

102
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 1>that you are wrong right when it comes to the

103
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 1>recent economic shifts. I mean, it's it's all over the place,

104
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 1>right and interest rates clearly they have not dropped, and

105
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.079
<v Speaker 1>that's that's pretty scary. But that's why right now it's

106
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.639
<v Speaker 1>so important to have a trusted resource right by your style,

107
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the Cecolar team at Remax Properties East And I know,

108
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 1>again the headlines can be overwhelming, but there's nobody better

109
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:39.639
<v Speaker 1>to help you make sense of it all than the

110
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:40.839
<v Speaker 1>local expert here in Louisville.

111
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:41.839
<v Speaker 2>That is Bob's Secolar.

112
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>So if you're looking to buy a home, I know

113
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.319
<v Speaker 1>it sounds crazy, but it could actually be a great

114
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.399
<v Speaker 1>time because in a market like this, you won't find

115
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.879
<v Speaker 1>you won't find as much competition. You may actually have

116
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>negotiating power if you're looking to buy, and if you're

117
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>thinking about selling, you want to make sure your home

118
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.480
<v Speaker 1>is priced right for faster results, and nobody does that

119
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 1>better than the Secolar team. In fact, when it comes

120
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.680
<v Speaker 1>to your home right now, don't let the headline scare

121
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>you away from taking advantage of the market to where

122
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 1>you could make a lot of money on selling your home.

123
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.639
<v Speaker 1>So Bob Siicoler, He'll come to your house, free of

139
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.560
<v Speaker 1>and we're looking forward to that conversation with Rory, So

140
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>stick with us right here on News Radio eight forty whas.

141
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what. Initially, I was not really all

142
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.199
<v Speaker 1>in on Week zero. I just felt like it was

143
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:04.399
<v Speaker 1>a tease. Don't lie to me and tell me that

144
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 1>college football season is here when it's not. But I've

145
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>come to enjoy it because Week zero is here, and

146
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 1>that means it is fair to say, in fact, it's

147
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.879
<v Speaker 1>the truth. We have college football games coming up this

148
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:20.000
<v Speaker 1>weekend that are real, They in fact do matter. They're

149
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>not scrimmages, which tho doesn't really take place in the

150
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:25.759
<v Speaker 1>college level. But still we've got real games and that

151
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>has me very very excited. And we have one local

152
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.079
<v Speaker 1>team that's getting off getting off to a start here

153
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>in week zero, there's only four games that feature FBS teams,

154
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>and one of those is Western Kentucky. They're going to

155
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:40.920
<v Speaker 1>take on Sam Houston State on Saturday. But the other matchups,

156
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>you've got Iowa State in Kansas State that'll be at noon,

157
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Fresno State and Kansas will play at six thirty, and

158
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.839
<v Speaker 1>then at seven thirty you got Stanford and Hawaii.

159
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.560
<v Speaker 2>So I would say of the of.

160
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.639
<v Speaker 1>The four games, clearly, the one that would get most interest,

161
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I would assume is the Iowa State in Kansas State game,

162
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>which that's that's a conference game, right it is, Yes.

163
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Also rivalry game in they're both in the top twenty five.

164
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>There you go, so cannot wait. And then of course

165
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.480
<v Speaker 1>next week you've got everybody playing. Louisville of course will

166
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:12.079
<v Speaker 1>get their season kicked off, and obviously Kentucky's same thing.

167
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:17.839
<v Speaker 1>And the Louisville schedule is one that I I mean,

168
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm not I can't really be critical of it because

169
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I do think the reason that Louisville schedule is the

170
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>way that it is, meaning just lacking a real challenge

171
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>for you know, the first third of the season is

172
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:34.279
<v Speaker 1>because of I you wanting to get out of that series,

173
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 1>and Louisville tried. I mean, you know, it's what it

174
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>could have should have. But Louisville did attempt to get

175
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.240
<v Speaker 1>both I think it was Ole Miss and Tennessee on

176
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the schedule this year because they wanted to play one

177
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.399
<v Speaker 1>of those non conference games and those teams didn't want

178
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.480
<v Speaker 1>to play Louisvelane. To be honest with you, I get it,

179
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>like there's just when it comes to strategy, and same

180
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:59.559
<v Speaker 1>thing with Indiana. I mean Indiana, it's it's it's understandable

181
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:02.159
<v Speaker 1>for them to realize because they have the proof they

182
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:04.399
<v Speaker 1>can schedule the way that they've scheduled and not challenge

183
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>themselves at all of the non conference and do well

184
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:08.679
<v Speaker 1>enough of the Big Ten and still get a ticket

185
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:10.679
<v Speaker 1>to the playoff. They literally just did it last year

186
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.080
<v Speaker 1>and they you know, they didn't have it. I mean,

187
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.519
<v Speaker 1>it was proof that hey, we can we have a

188
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.240
<v Speaker 1>nine game league schedule that is more likely than not

189
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be challenging regardless of how the schedule is

190
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.399
<v Speaker 1>digged out. But also it's the Big Ten. It's clearly

191
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.679
<v Speaker 1>the second best conference in college football, and there may

192
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:30.960
<v Speaker 1>be years where it's the best conference, just depending upon

193
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 1>what happens, So I understand it. I just think from

194
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.240
<v Speaker 1>a fan standpoint, when I think of the college football

195
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:40.639
<v Speaker 1>playoff expanding, the negative impact of that is that the

196
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:43.879
<v Speaker 1>regular season games clearly do not matter as much as

197
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:46.960
<v Speaker 1>they did whenever there was a two team championship game

198
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 1>or even a four team playoff, and that has led

199
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.639
<v Speaker 1>to now you can schedule nothing games for a third

200
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.759
<v Speaker 1>of your schedule if you'd like, and it still won't

201
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.519
<v Speaker 1>impact you to not get in if you take care

202
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>of business in conference play. That's where I feel like,

203
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.919
<v Speaker 1>from a fan standpoint, the product of college football there's

204
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.039
<v Speaker 1>more inclusion, meaning teams like Indiana who just did it,

205
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 1>and of course even Louisville and Kentucky in certain seasons

206
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 1>can realistically see themselves making it not as much Kentucky.

207
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>And I don't say that to do the rivalry thing.

208
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 1>I just think with Kentucky, I mean they're in the SEC.

209
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:19.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're clearly going to have I mean this

210
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>year they could be substantially better, but it not show

211
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>on the record because of how tough their schedule is.

212
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Louisville clearly has.

213
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:29.039
<v Speaker 1>A more realistic look at it because they're much more

214
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.559
<v Speaker 1>competitive in their conference because the ACC is nothing like

215
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the SEC. So that's the good thing is that you

216
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:36.919
<v Speaker 1>can now look at a college football playoff appearance as

217
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.360
<v Speaker 1>a realistic thing, and I think you could equate that

218
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.159
<v Speaker 1>to maybe a college basketball final four for a program

219
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.639
<v Speaker 1>as far as what it means. But again, the negative

220
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>impact is that the scheduling is now taking place to

221
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:49.600
<v Speaker 1>where like, yeah, they know that they.

222
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Can do that, and it won't. It won't.

223
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.399
<v Speaker 1>It won't matter because if they take care business and

224
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:55.840
<v Speaker 1>conference play, it all works out. And I believe that

225
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:59.399
<v Speaker 1>that just doesn't do anything but hurt the product, right,

226
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Fans get less games that are competitive, So I see

227
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>from both sides.

228
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:04.360
<v Speaker 2>All right, we've got an.

229
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Update of trafficking weather coming your way, Another sports update

230
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.399
<v Speaker 1>coming with Scott and then again Rory O'Neil set to

231
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.879
<v Speaker 1>join us at a thirty right here on News Radio

232
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:15.960
<v Speaker 1>eight forty whas final segment for us here on Kentucky

233
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.840
<v Speaker 1>and this morning News Coffee and Company. That's us here

234
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.759
<v Speaker 1>on News Radio eight forty whas as we wrap up

235
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.600
<v Speaker 1>this Monday. It's just myself and the one and only

236
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>John Alden. So we've had the conversation over the years,

237
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>John Donnelly on this show when we worked together, but

238
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.960
<v Speaker 1>also previously on the sports side. As far as boomer

239
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:38.840
<v Speaker 1>millennial gen Z, we I've never I don't know if

240
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:41.600
<v Speaker 1>it's just because of where we fall in the range

241
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 1>that we're in. I've just like I don't, I don't

242
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 1>often think about is this person a boomer, are they

243
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:51.759
<v Speaker 1>gen Z whatever? But and by the way, for those

244
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:55.879
<v Speaker 1>that don't know the age range, it may surprise you,

245
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:59.960
<v Speaker 1>and you are you are technically considered a gen Z,

246
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>but you, to me, don't necessarily like you're the back.

247
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:03.519
<v Speaker 1>You're the very back end of the gen Z.

248
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Right, I'm leading the charge, if you will.

249
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:08.279
<v Speaker 1>So thirteen to twenty eight is gen Z. Millennials, twenty

250
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:11.120
<v Speaker 1>nine to forty four gen X forty five to sixty

251
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.639
<v Speaker 1>boomers are considered sixty one and above. And I've again,

252
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:17.879
<v Speaker 1>I've never once really thought much about this, other than

253
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:21.960
<v Speaker 1>when I see stories where people mention I guess habits

254
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and studies that show behaviors and whatnot depending upon those

255
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.519
<v Speaker 1>age ranges. But John, so John's gen Z, I'm millennial

256
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.720
<v Speaker 1>and therefore we both probably have Like my parents are

257
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.080
<v Speaker 1>boomer age rangers are not.

258
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Quite that old or more gen X. Yeah.

259
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.360
<v Speaker 1>So, and I again, I feel mean even saying that

260
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.960
<v Speaker 1>my mom and my dad and my stepdad would be

261
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 1>considered boomers because I've always just thought of it. It

262
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:46.240
<v Speaker 1>sounds like, oh, you're an old fart.

263
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's bloomber has a negative connotation to it.

264
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:53.039
<v Speaker 1>So anyways, this is a This is a breakdown of

265
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>things boomers weren't wrong about after all, Right, if you're

266
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:02.080
<v Speaker 1>somebody that is on the gen ZU or millennial, maybe

267
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.679
<v Speaker 1>even like these are things boomers would say that you

268
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:07.039
<v Speaker 1>now realized they were right about. It wasn't just them

269
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.840
<v Speaker 1>being old farts. Early morning pays off, meaning turns out,

270
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:14.559
<v Speaker 1>waking up early really does set you up for success.

271
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I ever doubted that, but I can

272
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:18.039
<v Speaker 1>tell you that it's true.

273
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.720
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we, of all people should know them. Absolutely.

274
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.679
<v Speaker 1>Family dinners mattered. It wasn't just about the food. It

275
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>built connection and routine. Yeah, I see, these are things

276
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.039
<v Speaker 1>where I don't feel like I ever said that that

277
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.200
<v Speaker 1>they were wrong about, Like you know what I mean,

278
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Like this is labeled boomers weren't wrong after all. I

279
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:37.879
<v Speaker 1>just think I didn't have enough life experience to really

280
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:41.200
<v Speaker 1>know if they were saying with what they were saying

281
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.559
<v Speaker 1>was going to be right or not. But yes, family,

282
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.279
<v Speaker 1>dinners do matter. Clean space, clear mind, Keeping a tidy

283
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.480
<v Speaker 1>home actually reduces stress and boost focus. The outdoors is essential.

284
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Fresh air and movement aren't optional, They're necessary. Yeah, I

285
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:56.639
<v Speaker 1>mean these are things that more than anything for me,

286
00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I never doubted the importance. Now I am older, with

287
00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:02.320
<v Speaker 1>more life experience and have a family my own to

288
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:05.159
<v Speaker 1>where yeah, they were right, but I didn't doubt. You

289
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.200
<v Speaker 1>boomers just know that It's just that I didn't have

290
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:08.799
<v Speaker 1>the experience to know one way or the other, and

291
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I really didn't care because I was a kid whenever

292
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:15.399
<v Speaker 1>these things were probably being stressed by those that are

293
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.639
<v Speaker 1>of the boomer rage range. I feel like you might

294
00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>be a boomer John, I might be.

295
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:21.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm almost embarrassed to be, But I mean it a

296
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:22.480
<v Speaker 2>good out for me.

297
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when I said, I think the nicest way to

298
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:29.000
<v Speaker 1>describe you being a lot younger than me, but feeling

299
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:31.440
<v Speaker 1>like you are the same age as me and sometimes

300
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.559
<v Speaker 1>seemingly having more you know, maturity and wisdom than than

301
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.159
<v Speaker 1>people my age or maybe even older.

302
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:38.039
<v Speaker 2>You're an old soul.

303
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I think you you you.

304
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:41.759
<v Speaker 2>You could have lived.

305
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.919
<v Speaker 1>In the seventies and I think been just fine.

306
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:45.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know what I would have done in

307
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:47.200
<v Speaker 3>the seventies, but I would have figured it out.

308
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure, man. Life was.

309
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Life had to be so much more simple back then,

310
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.039
<v Speaker 1>because you got to keep in mind, if you don't

311
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:55.440
<v Speaker 1>know what you're missing out on it. You don't know,

312
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:56.519
<v Speaker 1>you don't know what you don't know.

313
00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I can't imagine.

314
00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:01.200
<v Speaker 3>I think life without the internet, your specifically before the internet,

315
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.840
<v Speaker 3>before you knew it was ever going to be a thing. Obviously,

316
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.679
<v Speaker 3>there was a whole generation boomers being primarily who we're

317
00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:09.799
<v Speaker 3>talking about here, that know exactly what that's like. And

318
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:13.960
<v Speaker 3>I think it there's a certain level of you know,

319
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:15.919
<v Speaker 3>people like me will never know if that's like, and

320
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.840
<v Speaker 3>I kind of wish what it would I wish I knew.

321
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.639
<v Speaker 2>What it was like to just have that level of simplicity.

322
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:24.799
<v Speaker 1>And even though we are different in in age range,

323
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:27.960
<v Speaker 1>there are people growing up now that will never experience

324
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>it the way that we did. Like for me, I mean, yes,

325
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:32.840
<v Speaker 1>we had the Internet, but that was when I was

326
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.559
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of an older kid, and it wasn't

327
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.320
<v Speaker 1>anything like it is now with devices and technology. So

328
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just I think that when you didn't

329
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:45.399
<v Speaker 1>have access to see as much as we can see

330
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:47.559
<v Speaker 1>now across the world and see how other people live,

331
00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and just access to information and being you know, exposing

332
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.759
<v Speaker 1>yourself to things all over the world, Yeah, there's a

333
00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:55.679
<v Speaker 1>lot of value in that, but I think like from

334
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.919
<v Speaker 1>a societal standpoint, you didn't know what you didn't know,

335
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:01.639
<v Speaker 1>so you didn't have anything to encourage you to think

336
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:03.879
<v Speaker 1>that you're well off or that you're poor, like you weren't,

337
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:06.279
<v Speaker 1>Like you weren't trying to Because people do it every

338
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.440
<v Speaker 1>day and they don't realize it what they see on

339
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.279
<v Speaker 1>social media and Facebook, Instagram, from either celebrities or even

340
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:14.840
<v Speaker 1>their peers. I just think so many people end up,

341
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.159
<v Speaker 1>without even realizing it, trying to either match that or

342
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.799
<v Speaker 1>do better than that. And when you didn't have that,

343
00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you just you got up and you saw who you

344
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.200
<v Speaker 1>interacted with, by who you and like physically you had

345
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:27.919
<v Speaker 1>to see somebody to interact with them, maybe you could

346
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>call them. And I just think people were more content

347
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.840
<v Speaker 1>with life because again they didn't have the ability to

348
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.919
<v Speaker 1>see where they really stood in society because it just

349
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:38.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, we didn't have access to that.

350
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:41.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, everything was so idealized on Facebook and other social media,

351
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:42.919
<v Speaker 3>and it makes it, it makes it. It's part of

352
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:44.360
<v Speaker 3>the reason why I hate being on it for.

353
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Most of the time.

354
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you, and I can say that last my

355
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:50.600
<v Speaker 1>vacation really was good for me because it was the

356
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:52.919
<v Speaker 1>first time that I really did make it a point

357
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:56.240
<v Speaker 1>to not be as connected to it. And it was

358
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:58.519
<v Speaker 1>freeing because I realized, you, I didn't, I didn't miss anything.

359
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:00.519
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. I don't need to be as glued to

360
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.480
<v Speaker 1>these devices and much as much as I am. So yeah, Boomers,

361
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:06.440
<v Speaker 1>you were right. You can tell people that you know

362
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.079
<v Speaker 1>you were right and they were wrong.

363
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:09.000
<v Speaker 2>So there you go.

364
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:10.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, we're on time, you guys. Enjoy the rest

365
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:12.480
<v Speaker 1>of your Monday afternoon. We're back at it tomorrow morning

366
00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:15.039
