WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.759 Thank you, John. It is six oh five here at Kentucky, 2 00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:05.240 Ana's Morning News with Nick Coffee on news Radio eight 3 00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:09.000 forty Whas thanks for hanging out with us. We've got 4 00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:12.279 Mayor Greenberg set to join us at eight forty five 5 00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:15.400 this morning. He's an Omaha for the College World Series, 6 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.239 so he'll be calling in all right, he's going to 7 00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.160 share some special news and we're looking forward to that. 8 00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.120 So again eight forty five, we'll have Mayor Greenberg on 9 00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:23.559 with us. 10 00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:24.039 Nice. 11 00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:26.719 Yeah, looking forward to it for sure. So when it 12 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.559 comes to the one of the bigger stories in the 13 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.240 last I guess a few days, it's been the scary, 14 00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:36.960 scary accident that took place. You just heard there in 15 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.200 the news update from John that the driver of the 16 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.039 of the semi truck then ended up on fire and 17 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.719 then fell off of the the on ramp. I don't 18 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:47.640 mean to laugh, but it's just you say it out loud, 19 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:48.960 and it's something in a movie. 20 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:50.359 That you wouldn't necessarily expect to. 21 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.640 Be and you also wouldn't expect somebody who was driving 22 00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.600 said vehicle to be to be okay. And he guess 23 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.320 he's not okay, he's he's I think just I know 24 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:07.560 that this person was with ems and seemingly not in 25 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:09.920 a situation where they were fearing for his life. That 26 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.760 was like such a oh my good, this is amazing. 27 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:12.159 But he is. 28 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.439 He's banged up. He does have some injuries which when 29 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.280 you jump twenty feet from the cab of your eighteen wheeler, 30 00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:24.719 broken leg, ankle, and foot. So no life threading injuries, 31 00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.439 but certainly something that's going to put him put him 32 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.760 out of work for a while. His wife says that 33 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:32.959 the surgery is gonna happen and it's going to be 34 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.079 a long and lengthy recovery. Therefore, they've launched that GoFundMe 35 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.760 to support their family, as it sounds like he doesn't 36 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.000 have insurance. But the cause of the crash is still 37 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.840 under investigation, and I don't really know what we can 38 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.079 expect to come from that. I wouldn't know, so maybe 39 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:50.879 this is just me talking out of my rear end here, 40 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:52.680 but I mean to me, it's just going to be 41 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.159 the conditions outside and maybe going a little too fast. 42 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:56.480 I don't know. Maybe there is I mean again, you 43 00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.480 never really know. Maybe there is something that we'll find 44 00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.280 that was a big factor and why that wreck happened. 45 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.400 We'll know once they conclude that that investigation. But with 46 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:10.000 there being multiple accidents like that, not just over the 47 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.240 last I don't know year and some change. I mean, 48 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.080 there's been a lot of accidents with semis in that area, 49 00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.639 not to that extent where you've got the cab or 50 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.080 the truck itself hanging from the bridge, but I think 51 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.560 it's the third semi accident in the area in the 52 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:29.199 past month. So obviously safety concerns, that's that's that's a 53 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:33.520 big talking point. Maya Greenberg did announce plans for road improvements, 54 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.120 including that epoxy surface and new markings that that we 55 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:41.240 talked about. But yeah, a scary, scary situation, and this 56 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.919 is something I wanted to share with you guys. This 57 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.199 is one of the many there were many nine to 58 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.280 one one calls that took place. People and again that's 59 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.599 that's a sign of good people out there that are 60 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.120 seeing this. And you know, you probably think, I'm sure 61 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.520 somebody's called by now, but you I could also see 62 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.159 a situation where people just assume that somebody else has 63 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.800 taken to taking up taking it upon themselves to call, 64 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.960 and maybe they don't. But there were many calls that 65 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.280 came in the nine one one after people were witnessing 66 00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:12.039 such a scary situation, a bad accident without the fire. 67 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.199 Then you throw those big flames and black smoke, and 68 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.520 you know that somebody's inside. That's that's a scary situation, 69 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.319 not only for of course Jeffrey Walker, the the driver 70 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.400 of the crash, but also those that are that are 71 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.520 that are near and have a helpless feeling. They want 72 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:28.400 to help this person as best they can. But obviously 73 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:29.520 that's not an easy thing to do. 74 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:30.039 But here is. 75 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.919 Here's one of the nine one one calls that came 76 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.520 in on Friday morning, and it would help. In fact, 77 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.000 I do think that if you if you want to 78 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.319 play sound, I think turning it up would be beneficial. 79 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.479 I think that's a big I think that's a big 80 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.039 part of radio. So here we go. Here's the sound. 81 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.879 I'm sixty by south just across the bridge, and there 82 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.960 is a truss that is there's a guy inside of there, 83 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.000 and there's a big semi and it is on fire. 84 00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.479 It's yes, and there is a guy trapped side of 85 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.639 it right now and there is no way for him 86 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.080 to get out. Like anything golfs and planes, the's just 87 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:08.199 in line that blew up on the highway. 88 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.000 It's going off, it's going off the bridge. 89 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.400 We do have a report of a sema off the 90 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.560 road and on tie. 91 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:16.720 We reached out to LA. 92 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:18.680 So again that's court of see of our partners over 93 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.040 at WLKY. So. I mean, I I feel like each 94 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.720 time this this story is uh, there's an update to it, 95 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.519 which again we heard from the driver himself and his family. 96 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.600 And now we have nine one one calls. I see 97 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:35.160 a new video that somebody just out and about near 98 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.120 the area, got out their phone and posted to Instagram 99 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.639 or Twitter, Facebook, whatever, and it it is insane one 100 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.120 to just see it, but also to know that that 101 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.040 this person survived and yes he does have some injuries. 102 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:52.240 But man, scary scary stuff. All right, we've got an 103 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.040 update of traffic and weather coming your way. What I 104 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:56.800 want to get to on the other side before we 105 00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.279 get to our next sports update with mister Scott Fitzgerald. 106 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.120 I think there's a real wake up call right now 107 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:06.000 across the country with universities in their athletic department as 108 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.319 far as how much different things are going to be 109 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:13.319 moving forward because of a twenty plus million dollar bill payment. 110 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.120 Essentially that they have to pay now, So we'll get 111 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.040 into that on the other side. At first, an update 112 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.439 on traffic and weather right here on Kentucky and it's 113 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.120 Morning News with Nick Coffee on News Radio eight to 114 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:25.879 forty Whas it is six sixteen here at Kentucky. It's 115 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.160 Morning News with Nick Coffee on News Radio eight forty 116 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.480 whas I would say, the biggest takeaway for me now 117 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:37.879 in my third week here in this big big in 118 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:39.800 the big chair, on the big stick as they call it. 119 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.079 So for those who don't know, my background is in sports. 120 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.639 I worked in sports radio for over ten years and 121 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.160 I always knew that it was a niche thing to 122 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.800 an extent, but maybe I didn't realize it that it 123 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.040 was as niche of a thing. And look, sports is 124 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:56.120 a huge part of our culture, but as far as 125 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.759 people who are listening every day to what's going on 126 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.399 on sports talk radio, it's just not as big of 127 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:04.120 there's just not as many people that do that as 128 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.480 far as you know, compared to those that actually enjoy 129 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:08.519 watching going to games to where it's again it's a 130 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.720 social thing for them and it's part of our culture. 131 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.480 So there's a lot of people who love the red 132 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.079 love the Blue Louisville fans, Kentucky fans that keep up 133 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.079 with it as best they can, but they've got a 134 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.079 lot of stuff going on. They've got their careers, their children, lives, 135 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:22.959 that kind of stuff. So if you are one of 136 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.839 those fans, I want you to know that, without it 137 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.879 being anything you've noticed just yet, and you may not 138 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.160 really ever notice it from a fan standpoint, but college 139 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.639 sports in the last couple of weeks, whenever the House 140 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:40.160 settlement was complete, I mean, it's changed college sports forever. 141 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.879 And I'm not just talking about players being able to 142 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.439 make money through NIL or the transfer portal giving you 143 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.279 free agency. That's been going on for at least a 144 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.839 few years now, but moving forward, schools are going to 145 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.800 have to start sharing revenue with athletes. So now schools 146 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.920 who want to complete at a schools who want to 147 00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.199 compete at a high level, they're going to have a 148 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:04.000 twenty plus million dollar annual bill that they have to 149 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.399 pay that didn't used to be in the plan. So 150 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.959 now you're going to have to find ways to get 151 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.519 that money. And I think the obvious the obvious thought 152 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.639 here as wow, the schools that don't have is is 153 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.199 deep a pockets that don't have the sec or the 154 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.160 big ten money. They're really struggling. And yes, you're right, 155 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.680 but it's not just there. Twenty million dollars annually for 156 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.120 any athletic department is not just a okay whatever, I mean, 157 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.600 it's now again, there are some schools that they'll never 158 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.680 run out of money because they've got supporters that that 159 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:39.199 that have got the deepest pockets out there. But that's that, 160 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.680 that's not there's not many that are like that. So 161 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:47.120 what's happening is that you're seeing these schools cut some costs. 162 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.680 I mean, just to give you some examples, Michigan they've 163 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:54.720 cut their athletic staff by ten percent and it's to 164 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.879 reduce a twenty seven million dollars shortfall to fifteen million. 165 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:02.600 This was news last week. Is they they projected a 166 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.839 thirty one million dollar deficit over two years, and they 167 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.279 plan they plan one hundred and ten million dollars in 168 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.800 revenue ventures meeting. They're investing in things to make it 169 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.560 a bigger payday when they open up their gates at 170 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.720 their sporting events. Another power program, certainly in basketball, not 171 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.199 as much in football, but in the Big twelve Kansas 172 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.120 they may they may stop covering the athletes tuition and housing. 173 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.160 Wichita State they've raised tuition at the school about three 174 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:35.559 point five percent, citing athlete pay. Florida, they're exploring different 175 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.240 revenue they can pull in with parking and whatnot. They're 176 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:42.279 just You're seeing a lot of creativity out there from 177 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.000 universities that are that are aware that this is a 178 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.600 big expense that's going to be here every year. It's 179 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:51.399 only going to become more expensive because the revenue is 180 00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:53.679 going to continue to grow for these universities. Right like 181 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.799 the SEC, the Big ten, they they are the most 182 00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.519 lucrative conferences as far as their TV TV deal. But 183 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.679 they'll re up in the next few years or whenever 184 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.120 that is, and it'll be more money. Therefore, you'll be 185 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:08.360 asked to share even more revenue. So as far as 186 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:11.399 the u of L side of it, it's tough to 187 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.360 know exactly what they'll do. I mean, their strategy, I 188 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.320 guess is still unfolding. It sounds like we'll know a 189 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:21.440 little more about maybe some plans they have to If 190 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:24.600 it's not cutting costs, it's certainly going to be just 191 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.399 what can we do to I mean, everything helps. There's 192 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.600 going to be a lot of different revenue streams created 193 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.120 just to try to make it to where that twenty 194 00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:36.120 plus million dollar annual payment is not as big of 195 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.039 a hit. And I don't know if we're going to 196 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.200 see the cutting of sports because most sports at the 197 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.080 NCAA level do not make you money. They cost you 198 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:48.559 a lot of money. Football and rarely Louisville and Kentucky, 199 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.159 Indiana are certainly in the minority here, but basketball makes 200 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:55.000 money at those places. But most places, even schools that 201 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.120 you know are good at basketball, they don't turn a 202 00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.480 profit because of what it costs to fund the program, 203 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:01.480 what it ca to pay the coaches, and now they're 204 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:06.240 paying athletes. So if you see sports getting cut, I 205 00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:10.840 wouldn't consider it a huge shock because it's a financial 206 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:13.919 thing at this point. And to me, this is the 207 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:17.480 real this is the real shift here where don't tell 208 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:20.399 us this is not pro sports. This is pro sports. 209 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.480 So just just again, if you're just a casual fan, 210 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:26.879 you may not even notice it, but it's a new 211 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.039 world when it comes to college athletics. All right, We've 212 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.919 got another update of Traffick and Weather coming your way 213 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.159 right now. We also have another update on sports with 214 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:36.039 Scott Fitzgerald, So keep it locked right here. It's Kentucky 215 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:37.720 and his Morning News with Nick Coffee on news radio 216 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:42.759 eight forty whas six point thirty five. Here Kentucky in 217 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:44.759 his Morning News with Nick Coffee on news radio eight 218 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:50.039 forty whas. So shout out to the Kroger that was 219 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.000 shut down for road and infestation for a few days, 220 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.919 because they've well, they've got loyal customers. You're not the 221 00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.879 only one, Scott Fitzgerald, because there was a line for 222 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.240 people to get in as they were ready to reopen. 223 00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:05.039 I don't know. I'm sure it's a mixture of a 224 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.600 lot of things. Maybe just that's that's the closest type 225 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.480 of store like that to somebody and they rely on it. 226 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.000 Or maybe they just love that store and wanted to 227 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.240 show them some real support as they were giving the 228 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.159 green light to open up their doors. But I did 229 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.879 get some feedback yesterday as far as just when you 230 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:23.879 hear rodent infestation, it's just going to be a no 231 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.159 for a lot of people. But maybe they can earn 232 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.840 your trust back. Obviously Kroger's got many locations. I don't 233 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.399 know this for certain, but I do believe I feel 234 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:34.759 comfortable in saying that this is a very rare situation 235 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:37.919 for a place like Kroger. But yeah, they opened up 236 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:41.080 yesterday and obviously they had a lot of people ready 237 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:42.799 to get back in there. You're going back today, Huh? 238 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.240 Yeah, I think so. And you know we talked off 239 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:45.519 to the year. 240 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:47.840 Give them a pat on the back, dude. Probably they're 241 00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.919 probably feeling pretty you know, do you go to. 242 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:52.799 A certain do you have a favorite grocery store that 243 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:53.200 you go to. 244 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:56.519 I'm not loyal to one. To me, it's more so 245 00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.120 about convenience. I think when it comes to Walmart, Art, Kroger, 246 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:07.559 or Meyer, you can, like I believe that you can. 247 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.799 You can. First of all, they all get the job done, 248 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:11.919 but you can make a case for different reasons for 249 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.759 each of those why one may prefer one over the 250 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:15.840 other two, if that makes sense. 251 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.440 Because I told you off the air, I go to 252 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:20.840 one because they have the better produce, but I go 253 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:23.120 to the other because they have the better meat. So 254 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:24.879 as we were talking, I brought this up with my 255 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.159 wife yesterday because she asked if I was going back 256 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.240 to that store because I do. I frequent all of them. 257 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.480 I'm not sold just to Proger I'm not sold. 258 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.519 To she's worried is her husband going to be going 259 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:35.080 to a place infestation? 260 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.559 But then, but then I asked the question, I said, 261 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:42.440 how many other places do you think have not maybe 262 00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:44.200 not on that level, but do have some sort of 263 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.000 but don't know about it right now? 264 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.960 Well, I don't like to think about that because then 265 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:50.679 it would just consume me. But to your point, if 266 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:53.279 people really wanted to just get lost in the in 267 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.840 the inspections that take place as far as health codes 268 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:00.320 and whatnot, I mean you may not. I mean, first 269 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.200 of all, I just just just a guess here. I 270 00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:06.240 think a lot of folks, myself included, would be surprised 271 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.919 of things that you could uncover that. Yet still you 272 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:12.000 can stay open exactly, and you don't have a D 273 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.480 instead you've got like a B. But again, there's professionals 274 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:17.639 that know what they're doing. I'm not a professional when 275 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.000 it comes to that. But yeah, are you loyal to one? 276 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:21.879 I mean again, you say one's good for me, one's 277 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:23.960 good for produce. Which one is? 278 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:24.159 Which? 279 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:26.919 By the way, I do you feel comfortable saying I'm partial? 280 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:28.639 Well, because I used to work at Meyer when I 281 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:30.639 was a kid. That was my first job because they're 282 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:32.879 based out of my hometown. So I used to work 283 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.399 there when I was a kid, so I know it. 284 00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.159 My grandmother used to take me there, my mom's shop there. 285 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.120 So are they the ones with good produce? 286 00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:42.480 Yes? Okay, no, no, no, no, they're the ones. They're 287 00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:44.679 the ones good in me? Okay, carg has. 288 00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:46.960 A good produce, gotcha, John, Do you have a preference? 289 00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:50.000 I go to Walmart, and it's simply because I know 290 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.840 exactly where everything is. I have my route that I 291 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:55.519 go through in the store, and it makes it a quick, easy, 292 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:57.480 twenty to thirty minute grocery trip for me. 293 00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:00.879 Yeah, I'll tell you what that's I don't. I don't 294 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.320 look forward to trips to Walmart, just to be honest 295 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:05.120 with you. And it's not because of anything Walmart did. 296 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.799 It's just I don't. I'm not a big I mean. 297 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:09.480 If I have to go to I don't even know. 298 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.000 There are certain for me. There's certain Walmarts that do 299 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.200 that get the job done. The one in Shepherdsville's one 300 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:17.200 I'm talking about, and there's others that do not get 301 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:18.279 the job done. 302 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.440 Is there a certain products you fellas go to a 303 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.759 certain store for like for example, you guys mentioned Walmart. 304 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:26.720 I may go to Walmart because they're one of the 305 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.399 few that care I love Lavish Bride. I'll go to 306 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:31.200 Walmart because they're one of the few places that carry 307 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:31.799 Lavish Right. 308 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:34.279 I didn't know that there's not anything that I can 309 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:38.320 think of that I really require or need that the 310 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.720 other doesn't have. I'm not real. I'm not real big 311 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.000 on brand loyalty either, when it comes to like certain 312 00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:47.600 food items. To me, it's just whichever one's closest if 313 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:49.639 I need to go get something. I've always I've always 314 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:54.039 been told that Walmart is the cheapest route compared to 315 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:57.679 really any any level of competition. But I don't know 316 00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.639 how much that is, meaning like, do you saved that 317 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:02.799 much money at Walmart compared to Kroger Meyer. I guess 318 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:04.440 it depends on what you get. I'm sure there's certain 319 00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:07.360 items that may be more expensive elsewhere. Uh, but I 320 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.759 think most people probably go off of these these these 321 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:15.200 factors price convenience as far as where it is near 322 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.120 your home. But also to John's point, it's really it's 323 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.080 a really big deal to know where things are. 324 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:23.080 Yes, and some of them had bigger aisles and for example, 325 00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:25.559 I like when I buy my meat. I'm old school 326 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:27.360 like that. I like to buy mine out of the counter. 327 00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.320 In fact, I wish they still wrapped it in the paper. 328 00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:31.559 So like Meyer is the place that. 329 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:32.600 Does that is old school. 330 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:34.120 They've got They've got a good meat. You want. 331 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:36.240 You want to face to face with the butcher, don't you. 332 00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:38.039 I know the guy there and I talked to him 333 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:39.039 all the time, and I go and he asked me, 334 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:40.000 all my kids are doing that? 335 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:43.120 That your meat guy. That your meat guy. So or 336 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.519 let me ask you all this? Have you all do 337 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.039 you do? Have you ever done the order it online? 338 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:49.240 They bring the groceries to the door. 339 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:51.600 We did during COVID, okay, but it's easier. 340 00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:54.919 But even before COVID, I would order a pizza and 341 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:55.879 that would go out and get it. 342 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:57.120 Yeah. I don't tell how I am. 343 00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:59.080 So do you have you don't have groceries deliver? 344 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.559 John, No, But any anything that offers delivery like pizza included, 345 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:04.559 like Scott's talking about, always do carry out? 346 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:05.720 Yeah, so exactly. 347 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:08.120 I don't same here. I do carry out with any food. 348 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:10.120 If we get food, that's that they can be picked up. 349 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.519 I don't do delivery, but my wife I mean, she 350 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:16.159 swore she would never not pick out her own groceries. Never. Well, 351 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:17.960 then we had two kids, and then we tried to 352 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.600 go grocery shopping with them, and I think we did 353 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:23.200 it once just because we knew we didn't have time 354 00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:27.200 to go. And thankfully, we'll probably never go grocery shopping 355 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.200 again unless we have to because it is convenient.
