Speaker 1: Thank you, John. It is six oh five here at Kentucky,
Speaker 1: Ana's Morning News with Nick Coffee on news Radio eight
Speaker 1: forty Whas thanks for hanging out with us. We've got
Speaker 1: Mayor Greenberg set to join us at eight forty five
Speaker 1: this morning. He's an Omaha for the College World Series,
Speaker 1: so he'll be calling in all right, he's going to
Speaker 1: share some special news and we're looking forward to that.
Speaker 1: So again eight forty five, we'll have Mayor Greenberg on
Speaker 1: with us.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, looking forward to it for sure. So when it
Speaker 1: comes to the one of the bigger stories in the
Speaker 1: last I guess a few days, it's been the scary,
Speaker 1: scary accident that took place. You just heard there in
Speaker 1: the news update from John that the driver of the
Speaker 1: of the semi truck then ended up on fire and
Speaker 1: then fell off of the the on ramp. I don't
Speaker 1: mean to laugh, but it's just you say it out loud,
Speaker 1: and it's something in a movie.
Speaker 2: That you wouldn't necessarily expect to.
Speaker 1: Be and you also wouldn't expect somebody who was driving
Speaker 1: said vehicle to be to be okay. And he guess
Speaker 1: he's not okay, he's he's I think just I know
Speaker 1: that this person was with ems and seemingly not in
Speaker 1: a situation where they were fearing for his life. That
Speaker 1: was like such a oh my good, this is amazing.
Speaker 2: But he is.
Speaker 1: He's banged up. He does have some injuries which when
Speaker 1: you jump twenty feet from the cab of your eighteen wheeler,
Speaker 1: broken leg, ankle, and foot. So no life threading injuries,
Speaker 1: but certainly something that's going to put him put him
Speaker 1: out of work for a while. His wife says that
Speaker 1: the surgery is gonna happen and it's going to be
Speaker 1: a long and lengthy recovery. Therefore, they've launched that GoFundMe
Speaker 1: to support their family, as it sounds like he doesn't
Speaker 1: have insurance. But the cause of the crash is still
Speaker 1: under investigation, and I don't really know what we can
Speaker 1: expect to come from that. I wouldn't know, so maybe
Speaker 1: this is just me talking out of my rear end here,
Speaker 1: but I mean to me, it's just going to be
Speaker 1: the conditions outside and maybe going a little too fast.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe there is I mean again, you
Speaker 1: never really know. Maybe there is something that we'll find
Speaker 1: that was a big factor and why that wreck happened.
Speaker 1: We'll know once they conclude that that investigation. But with
Speaker 1: there being multiple accidents like that, not just over the
Speaker 1: last I don't know year and some change. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of accidents with semis in that area,
Speaker 1: not to that extent where you've got the cab or
Speaker 1: the truck itself hanging from the bridge, but I think
Speaker 1: it's the third semi accident in the area in the
Speaker 1: past month. So obviously safety concerns, that's that's that's a
Speaker 1: big talking point. Maya Greenberg did announce plans for road improvements,
Speaker 1: including that epoxy surface and new markings that that we
Speaker 1: talked about. But yeah, a scary, scary situation, and this
Speaker 1: is something I wanted to share with you guys. This
Speaker 1: is one of the many there were many nine to
Speaker 1: one one calls that took place. People and again that's
Speaker 1: that's a sign of good people out there that are
Speaker 1: seeing this. And you know, you probably think, I'm sure
Speaker 1: somebody's called by now, but you I could also see
Speaker 1: a situation where people just assume that somebody else has
Speaker 1: taken to taking up taking it upon themselves to call,
Speaker 1: and maybe they don't. But there were many calls that
Speaker 1: came in the nine one one after people were witnessing
Speaker 1: such a scary situation, a bad accident without the fire.
Speaker 1: Then you throw those big flames and black smoke, and
Speaker 1: you know that somebody's inside. That's that's a scary situation,
Speaker 1: not only for of course Jeffrey Walker, the the driver
Speaker 1: of the crash, but also those that are that are
Speaker 1: that are near and have a helpless feeling. They want
Speaker 1: to help this person as best they can. But obviously
Speaker 1: that's not an easy thing to do.
Speaker 2: But here is.
Speaker 1: Here's one of the nine one one calls that came
Speaker 1: in on Friday morning, and it would help. In fact,
Speaker 1: I do think that if you if you want to
Speaker 1: play sound, I think turning it up would be beneficial.
Speaker 1: I think that's a big I think that's a big
Speaker 1: part of radio. So here we go. Here's the sound.
Speaker 3: I'm sixty by south just across the bridge, and there
Speaker 3: is a truss that is there's a guy inside of there,
Speaker 3: and there's a big semi and it is on fire.
Speaker 3: It's yes, and there is a guy trapped side of
Speaker 3: it right now and there is no way for him
Speaker 3: to get out. Like anything golfs and planes, the's just
Speaker 3: in line that blew up on the highway.
Speaker 4: It's going off, it's going off the bridge.
Speaker 3: We do have a report of a sema off the
Speaker 3: road and on tie.
Speaker 2: We reached out to LA.
Speaker 1: So again that's court of see of our partners over
Speaker 1: at WLKY. So. I mean, I I feel like each
Speaker 1: time this this story is uh, there's an update to it,
Speaker 1: which again we heard from the driver himself and his family.
Speaker 1: And now we have nine one one calls. I see
Speaker 1: a new video that somebody just out and about near
Speaker 1: the area, got out their phone and posted to Instagram
Speaker 1: or Twitter, Facebook, whatever, and it it is insane one
Speaker 1: to just see it, but also to know that that
Speaker 1: this person survived and yes he does have some injuries.
Speaker 1: But man, scary scary stuff. All right, we've got an
Speaker 1: update of traffic and weather coming your way. What I
Speaker 1: want to get to on the other side before we
Speaker 1: get to our next sports update with mister Scott Fitzgerald.
Speaker 1: I think there's a real wake up call right now
Speaker 1: across the country with universities in their athletic department as
Speaker 1: far as how much different things are going to be
Speaker 1: moving forward because of a twenty plus million dollar bill payment.
Speaker 1: Essentially that they have to pay now, So we'll get
Speaker 1: into that on the other side. At first, an update
Speaker 1: on traffic and weather right here on Kentucky and it's
Speaker 1: Morning News with Nick Coffee on News Radio eight to
Speaker 1: forty Whas it is six sixteen here at Kentucky. It's
Speaker 1: Morning News with Nick Coffee on News Radio eight forty
Speaker 1: whas I would say, the biggest takeaway for me now
Speaker 1: in my third week here in this big big in
Speaker 1: the big chair, on the big stick as they call it.
Speaker 1: So for those who don't know, my background is in sports.
Speaker 1: I worked in sports radio for over ten years and
Speaker 1: I always knew that it was a niche thing to
Speaker 1: an extent, but maybe I didn't realize it that it
Speaker 1: was as niche of a thing. And look, sports is
Speaker 1: a huge part of our culture, but as far as
Speaker 1: people who are listening every day to what's going on
Speaker 1: on sports talk radio, it's just not as big of
Speaker 1: there's just not as many people that do that as
Speaker 1: far as you know, compared to those that actually enjoy
Speaker 1: watching going to games to where it's again it's a
Speaker 1: social thing for them and it's part of our culture.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of people who love the red
Speaker 1: love the Blue Louisville fans, Kentucky fans that keep up
Speaker 1: with it as best they can, but they've got a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on. They've got their careers, their children, lives,
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So if you are one of
Speaker 1: those fans, I want you to know that, without it
Speaker 1: being anything you've noticed just yet, and you may not
Speaker 1: really ever notice it from a fan standpoint, but college
Speaker 1: sports in the last couple of weeks, whenever the House
Speaker 1: settlement was complete, I mean, it's changed college sports forever.
Speaker 1: And I'm not just talking about players being able to
Speaker 1: make money through NIL or the transfer portal giving you
Speaker 1: free agency. That's been going on for at least a
Speaker 1: few years now, but moving forward, schools are going to
Speaker 1: have to start sharing revenue with athletes. So now schools
Speaker 1: who want to complete at a schools who want to
Speaker 1: compete at a high level, they're going to have a
Speaker 1: twenty plus million dollar annual bill that they have to
Speaker 1: pay that didn't used to be in the plan. So
Speaker 1: now you're going to have to find ways to get
Speaker 1: that money. And I think the obvious the obvious thought
Speaker 1: here as wow, the schools that don't have is is
Speaker 1: deep a pockets that don't have the sec or the
Speaker 1: big ten money. They're really struggling. And yes, you're right,
Speaker 1: but it's not just there. Twenty million dollars annually for
Speaker 1: any athletic department is not just a okay whatever, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's now again, there are some schools that they'll never
Speaker 1: run out of money because they've got supporters that that
Speaker 1: that have got the deepest pockets out there. But that's that,
Speaker 1: that's not there's not many that are like that. So
Speaker 1: what's happening is that you're seeing these schools cut some costs.
Speaker 1: I mean, just to give you some examples, Michigan they've
Speaker 1: cut their athletic staff by ten percent and it's to
Speaker 1: reduce a twenty seven million dollars shortfall to fifteen million.
Speaker 1: This was news last week. Is they they projected a
Speaker 1: thirty one million dollar deficit over two years, and they
Speaker 1: plan they plan one hundred and ten million dollars in
Speaker 1: revenue ventures meeting. They're investing in things to make it
Speaker 1: a bigger payday when they open up their gates at
Speaker 1: their sporting events. Another power program, certainly in basketball, not
Speaker 1: as much in football, but in the Big twelve Kansas
Speaker 1: they may they may stop covering the athletes tuition and housing.
Speaker 1: Wichita State they've raised tuition at the school about three
Speaker 1: point five percent, citing athlete pay. Florida, they're exploring different
Speaker 1: revenue they can pull in with parking and whatnot. They're
Speaker 1: just You're seeing a lot of creativity out there from
Speaker 1: universities that are that are aware that this is a
Speaker 1: big expense that's going to be here every year. It's
Speaker 1: only going to become more expensive because the revenue is
Speaker 1: going to continue to grow for these universities. Right like
Speaker 1: the SEC, the Big ten, they they are the most
Speaker 1: lucrative conferences as far as their TV TV deal. But
Speaker 1: they'll re up in the next few years or whenever
Speaker 1: that is, and it'll be more money. Therefore, you'll be
Speaker 1: asked to share even more revenue. So as far as
Speaker 1: the u of L side of it, it's tough to
Speaker 1: know exactly what they'll do. I mean, their strategy, I
Speaker 1: guess is still unfolding. It sounds like we'll know a
Speaker 1: little more about maybe some plans they have to If
Speaker 1: it's not cutting costs, it's certainly going to be just
Speaker 1: what can we do to I mean, everything helps. There's
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of different revenue streams created
Speaker 1: just to try to make it to where that twenty
Speaker 1: plus million dollar annual payment is not as big of
Speaker 1: a hit. And I don't know if we're going to
Speaker 1: see the cutting of sports because most sports at the
Speaker 1: NCAA level do not make you money. They cost you
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Football and rarely Louisville and Kentucky,
Speaker 1: Indiana are certainly in the minority here, but basketball makes
Speaker 1: money at those places. But most places, even schools that
Speaker 1: you know are good at basketball, they don't turn a
Speaker 1: profit because of what it costs to fund the program,
Speaker 1: what it ca to pay the coaches, and now they're
Speaker 1: paying athletes. So if you see sports getting cut, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't consider it a huge shock because it's a financial
Speaker 1: thing at this point. And to me, this is the
Speaker 1: real this is the real shift here where don't tell
Speaker 1: us this is not pro sports. This is pro sports.
Speaker 1: So just just again, if you're just a casual fan,
Speaker 1: you may not even notice it, but it's a new
Speaker 1: world when it comes to college athletics. All right, We've
Speaker 1: got another update of Traffick and Weather coming your way
Speaker 1: right now. We also have another update on sports with
Speaker 1: Scott Fitzgerald, So keep it locked right here. It's Kentucky
Speaker 1: and his Morning News with Nick Coffee on news radio
Speaker 1: eight forty whas six point thirty five. Here Kentucky in
Speaker 1: his Morning News with Nick Coffee on news radio eight
Speaker 1: forty whas. So shout out to the Kroger that was
Speaker 1: shut down for road and infestation for a few days,
Speaker 1: because they've well, they've got loyal customers. You're not the
Speaker 1: only one, Scott Fitzgerald, because there was a line for
Speaker 1: people to get in as they were ready to reopen.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm sure it's a mixture of a
Speaker 1: lot of things. Maybe just that's that's the closest type
Speaker 1: of store like that to somebody and they rely on it.
Speaker 1: Or maybe they just love that store and wanted to
Speaker 1: show them some real support as they were giving the
Speaker 1: green light to open up their doors. But I did
Speaker 1: get some feedback yesterday as far as just when you
Speaker 1: hear rodent infestation, it's just going to be a no
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. But maybe they can earn
Speaker 1: your trust back. Obviously Kroger's got many locations. I don't
Speaker 1: know this for certain, but I do believe I feel
Speaker 1: comfortable in saying that this is a very rare situation
Speaker 1: for a place like Kroger. But yeah, they opened up
Speaker 1: yesterday and obviously they had a lot of people ready
Speaker 1: to get back in there. You're going back today, Huh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. And you know we talked off
Speaker 2: to the year.
Speaker 1: Give them a pat on the back, dude. Probably they're
Speaker 1: probably feeling pretty you know, do you go to.
Speaker 2: A certain do you have a favorite grocery store that
Speaker 2: you go to.
Speaker 1: I'm not loyal to one. To me, it's more so
Speaker 1: about convenience. I think when it comes to Walmart, Art, Kroger,
Speaker 1: or Meyer, you can, like I believe that you can.
Speaker 1: You can. First of all, they all get the job done,
Speaker 1: but you can make a case for different reasons for
Speaker 1: each of those why one may prefer one over the
Speaker 1: other two, if that makes sense.
Speaker 5: Because I told you off the air, I go to
Speaker 5: one because they have the better produce, but I go
Speaker 5: to the other because they have the better meat. So
Speaker 5: as we were talking, I brought this up with my
Speaker 5: wife yesterday because she asked if I was going back
Speaker 5: to that store because I do. I frequent all of them.
Speaker 5: I'm not sold just to Proger I'm not sold.
Speaker 1: To she's worried is her husband going to be going
Speaker 1: to a place infestation?
Speaker 5: But then, but then I asked the question, I said,
Speaker 5: how many other places do you think have not maybe
Speaker 5: not on that level, but do have some sort of
Speaker 5: but don't know about it right now?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't like to think about that because then
Speaker 1: it would just consume me. But to your point, if
Speaker 1: people really wanted to just get lost in the in
Speaker 1: the inspections that take place as far as health codes
Speaker 1: and whatnot, I mean you may not. I mean, first
Speaker 1: of all, I just just just a guess here. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of folks, myself included, would be surprised
Speaker 1: of things that you could uncover that. Yet still you
Speaker 1: can stay open exactly, and you don't have a D
Speaker 1: instead you've got like a B. But again, there's professionals
Speaker 1: that know what they're doing. I'm not a professional when
Speaker 1: it comes to that. But yeah, are you loyal to one?
Speaker 1: I mean again, you say one's good for me, one's
Speaker 1: good for produce. Which one is?
Speaker 2: Which?
Speaker 1: By the way, I do you feel comfortable saying I'm partial?
Speaker 5: Well, because I used to work at Meyer when I
Speaker 5: was a kid. That was my first job because they're
Speaker 5: based out of my hometown. So I used to work
Speaker 5: there when I was a kid, so I know it.
Speaker 5: My grandmother used to take me there, my mom's shop there.
Speaker 1: So are they the ones with good produce?
Speaker 2: Yes? Okay, no, no, no, no, they're the ones. They're
Speaker 2: the ones good in me? Okay, carg has.
Speaker 1: A good produce, gotcha, John, Do you have a preference?
Speaker 4: I go to Walmart, and it's simply because I know
Speaker 4: exactly where everything is. I have my route that I
Speaker 4: go through in the store, and it makes it a quick, easy,
Speaker 4: twenty to thirty minute grocery trip for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you what that's I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: look forward to trips to Walmart, just to be honest
Speaker 1: with you. And it's not because of anything Walmart did.
Speaker 1: It's just I don't. I'm not a big I mean.
Speaker 4: If I have to go to I don't even know.
Speaker 4: There are certain for me. There's certain Walmarts that do
Speaker 4: that get the job done. The one in Shepherdsville's one
Speaker 4: I'm talking about, and there's others that do not get
Speaker 4: the job done.
Speaker 5: Is there a certain products you fellas go to a
Speaker 5: certain store for like for example, you guys mentioned Walmart.
Speaker 5: I may go to Walmart because they're one of the
Speaker 5: few that care I love Lavish Bride. I'll go to
Speaker 5: Walmart because they're one of the few places that carry
Speaker 5: Lavish Right.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that there's not anything that I can
Speaker 1: think of that I really require or need that the
Speaker 1: other doesn't have. I'm not real. I'm not real big
Speaker 1: on brand loyalty either, when it comes to like certain
Speaker 1: food items. To me, it's just whichever one's closest if
Speaker 1: I need to go get something. I've always I've always
Speaker 1: been told that Walmart is the cheapest route compared to
Speaker 1: really any any level of competition. But I don't know
Speaker 1: how much that is, meaning like, do you saved that
Speaker 1: much money at Walmart compared to Kroger Meyer. I guess
Speaker 1: it depends on what you get. I'm sure there's certain
Speaker 1: items that may be more expensive elsewhere. Uh, but I
Speaker 1: think most people probably go off of these these these
Speaker 1: factors price convenience as far as where it is near
Speaker 1: your home. But also to John's point, it's really it's
Speaker 1: a really big deal to know where things are.
Speaker 5: Yes, and some of them had bigger aisles and for example,
Speaker 5: I like when I buy my meat. I'm old school
Speaker 5: like that. I like to buy mine out of the counter.
Speaker 5: In fact, I wish they still wrapped it in the paper.
Speaker 5: So like Meyer is the place that.
Speaker 1: Does that is old school.
Speaker 2: They've got They've got a good meat. You want.
Speaker 1: You want to face to face with the butcher, don't you.
Speaker 5: I know the guy there and I talked to him
Speaker 5: all the time, and I go and he asked me,
Speaker 5: all my kids are doing that?
Speaker 1: That your meat guy. That your meat guy. So or
Speaker 1: let me ask you all this? Have you all do
Speaker 1: you do? Have you ever done the order it online?
Speaker 1: They bring the groceries to the door.
Speaker 2: We did during COVID, okay, but it's easier.
Speaker 5: But even before COVID, I would order a pizza and
Speaker 5: that would go out and get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't tell how I am.
Speaker 1: So do you have you don't have groceries deliver?
Speaker 4: John, No, But any anything that offers delivery like pizza included,
Speaker 4: like Scott's talking about, always do carry out?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so exactly.
Speaker 1: I don't same here. I do carry out with any food.
Speaker 1: If we get food, that's that they can be picked up.
Speaker 1: I don't do delivery, but my wife I mean, she
Speaker 1: swore she would never not pick out her own groceries. Never. Well,
Speaker 1: then we had two kids, and then we tried to
Speaker 1: go grocery shopping with them, and I think we did
Speaker 1: it once just because we knew we didn't have time
Speaker 1: to go. And thankfully, we'll probably never go grocery shopping
Speaker 1: again unless we have to because it is convenient. And uh,
Speaker 1: what should have been a thirty minute trip to the
Speaker 1: grocery would be an hour and a half because you know,
Speaker 1: the kids just want to pick up everything.
Speaker 5: And also, what bangers you play? I'm walking through the
Speaker 5: store on a big plus too. Really, you give me
Speaker 5: some guests in the store.
Speaker 2: I'm good.
Speaker 4: Second that Walmart Bay some decent tunes there, I do Joh, I'm.
Speaker 1: Not sure I've ever noticed what music is playing shopping vibes.
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm with you.
Speaker 1: So do you like going by yourself?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Do you?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, what I was gonna say, it's funny just in
Speaker 1: this conversation without you all saying, and I could totally
Speaker 1: tell that you all you all like it's an experience
Speaker 1: for you, it's you time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1: Good stuff?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: We got another updated news and actually another update of
Speaker 1: traffic and weather coming your way. We'll get sports at
Speaker 1: about six fifty five, and of course seven o'clock we'll
Speaker 1: have another the news update with John Shannon right here
Speaker 1: on news Radio eight forty w h AS. It is
Speaker 1: six forty seven here a Kentucky and it's morning News
Speaker 1: on news Radio eight forty w h A s don't
Speaker 1: forget take us with you wherever you go. You can
Speaker 1: listen live on the iHeart Radio app. Also listen live
Speaker 1: at WHAS dot com. Coming up in about two hours roughly,
Speaker 1: we're going to be joined by Mayor Greenberg, who's going
Speaker 1: to share some special news with us here as we
Speaker 1: wrap up the show. Really looking forward to that. So again,
Speaker 1: set your reminder if you're if you're on your way
Speaker 1: to work or whatever it is you're doing, just be
Speaker 1: be prepared. At eight forty five, there should be some
Speaker 1: some some special news, some cool news. If I say
Speaker 1: so myself, that's just my opinion, no one else's. But
Speaker 1: uh yeah, really really looking forward to that. So to
Speaker 1: continue our conversation about grocery store during the break, I
Speaker 1: learned more that that that Scott and I have something
Speaker 1: in common and John maybe you're the same way, because
Speaker 1: I now know that you guys, you enjoy your time
Speaker 1: at the grocery store doing your thing, executing for the family,
Speaker 1: getting what's needed. I mean there's some you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of people probably have this foolish stigma that you know,
Speaker 1: the women do the grocery shopping. But in a way,
Speaker 1: you know, the man's providing that he's bringing the he's
Speaker 1: bringing the bake at home.
Speaker 5: As they say, I do the grocery shopping and the
Speaker 5: cooking at home.
Speaker 1: You do the cooking as well.
Speaker 2: I love playing the kid, do you cook?
Speaker 1: John? We split the cooking duties, gotcha.
Speaker 2: It just depends.
Speaker 1: You guys are really making me look bad. I don't
Speaker 1: do the grocery shopping and I don't do the cooking. Now,
Speaker 1: my wife, she doesn't enjoy cooking, and I think we
Speaker 1: all know that if I was to cook, it wouldn't
Speaker 1: be good. Therefore we could we should utilize the strengths
Speaker 1: we have in the coffee headquarters, and that is that
Speaker 1: she is a good cook. But as far as groceries, uh,
Speaker 1: I would if it did not exist, meaning the where
Speaker 1: you can order it online and I'll bring it to you,
Speaker 1: I would probably try to join your all's cool group
Speaker 1: of go into the grocery and do it yourself, because
Speaker 1: when I would, I'm now having flashbacks off whenever we
Speaker 1: would go to the grocery, and I guess it's it's
Speaker 1: probably like pre kids, which that's how long ago it
Speaker 1: was my wife. She would inspect every item in every
Speaker 1: aisle and it would take a long long time. I
Speaker 1: don't I'm not throwing you guys a lob to throw
Speaker 1: your significant others under the bus on a humongous radio station,
Speaker 1: but I'll do it anyway. Scott, it took too long
Speaker 1: when you went with your wife, John, Do you just
Speaker 1: do it because you want to do it or is
Speaker 1: it okay? If we do it together, it's going to
Speaker 1: be a much longer process than if I just go
Speaker 1: and get it done myself.
Speaker 4: It's definitely a much longer process when the wife does
Speaker 4: come along. And the other thing though, is that she
Speaker 4: doesn't necessarily stick to the list the same way that
Speaker 4: I am. So yeah, yep, yeah, there's given take with
Speaker 4: with when she comes. Sometimes it can be a little
Speaker 4: faster if she wants to get things knocked out the
Speaker 4: way that I do. But nine times out of ten,
Speaker 4: where you know, it's not the way that I always
Speaker 4: envisioned it.
Speaker 5: Go. I told Nick, my wife used to like to
Speaker 5: buy those prepackaged things.
Speaker 2: They were so expensive.
Speaker 1: Dude, Yeah, they'll yes, And I hadn't thought of that
Speaker 1: until you mentioned it. But the convenience, if they can
Speaker 1: do something that is convenient for you, they'll they'll jack
Speaker 1: up the price and know that you'll pay for it.
Speaker 2: Jack it up and how? And I said.
Speaker 5: The example I gave to Nick was my wife would
Speaker 5: buy my son the macaroni cups where you just put
Speaker 5: water in and.
Speaker 2: Stick it in the microwave. I said, buy that child
Speaker 2: the sixty five cent box of macaroni and teach him
Speaker 2: how to cook. He can't.
