Speaker 1: I don't think it's a coincidence that the first wall
Speaker 1: wall that's opening up is not too far. In fact,
Speaker 1: it's very close to one of the many Kentucky and
Speaker 1: at Thornton's locations, because you know they're trying to compete,
Speaker 1: and I wish them the best of luck. I'm a
Speaker 1: Thornton's man. I think a lot of people who know
Speaker 1: me know that if you are just now getting getting
Speaker 1: to know me by listening, I am fueled by Thornton's John.
Speaker 2: Am I telling a lie? Or am I telling the Joe?
Speaker 3: You are the Thornton's man.
Speaker 1: I'm the Thornton's man. So keep them in mind when
Speaker 1: you want to start your day. You can save money
Speaker 1: at the gas pump by becoming a Refreshing Rewards member.
Speaker 1: And they also got the best donuts in town. I
Speaker 1: can't prove that, but if you trust me and you
Speaker 1: give them a shot, I'm very confident you will agree.
Speaker 2: And if you disagree, that's fine. Just know that you're wrong.
Speaker 1: Just want you to know that it is seven to
Speaker 1: five here Kentucky in This Morning News with Nick Coffee
Speaker 1: on Newsrady eight forty whas as I'm looking here at
Speaker 1: the coverage of yesterday's parade in Oklahoma City, and I'm
Speaker 1: assuming it's hotter there than it is here. Maybe I'm wrong,
Speaker 1: because it's hot as hell here, right, It is just
Speaker 1: disgusting outside. If winning a championship ends up, you know,
Speaker 1: one of the many perks and gifts that you get
Speaker 1: is to walk around outside for hours. I don't want
Speaker 1: to win. I'll throw the game if you tell me
Speaker 1: that it requires me to then walk around outside with
Speaker 1: a million people, seemingly in the heat. We've got going
Speaker 1: on across the country. It's not just here, it's everywhere, seemingly,
Speaker 1: mean not everywhere. In fact, I did see that was
Speaker 1: it Montana that actually had a legitimate snowstorm yesterday, So
Speaker 1: not everywhere. But anyhow, it's warm, and it's already up
Speaker 1: to I think eighty degrees and it feels like eighty five.
Speaker 1: So just be prepared for that because this gross weather
Speaker 1: has been here for a few days and it's going
Speaker 1: to be here at least until today. And that I mean,
Speaker 1: there are people out there that do prefer this, right,
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know them. I think they need
Speaker 1: to be evaluated, but I mean, you walk outside yesterday,
Speaker 1: even this morning. I mean at three o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 1: when I walk out of my house, the sun's not
Speaker 1: beating on me because it's it's not it's day it's
Speaker 1: not daylight yet. It's still nighttime essentially, But it's so gross,
Speaker 1: Like I just can't imagine somebody walking outside of me, like.
Speaker 2: Oh this is this is great? How refreshing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you Mother Nature really hooking it up today.
Speaker 1: But everybody's got their own preferences. I've always been someone
Speaker 1: that actually does enjoy I like the winter time, the
Speaker 1: winter season, everything that comes with it, and I don't
Speaker 1: mind a good snow every now and then as far
Speaker 1: as just something pretty to look at. Certainly I prefer
Speaker 1: we get it on Christmas. Doesn't always work out that way,
Speaker 1: but I prefer Like, again, everybody's got their preference.
Speaker 2: Would you rather.
Speaker 1: Be in insanely cold conditions or insanely hot conditions? I
Speaker 1: think when it comes to heat, you can only take
Speaker 1: off so many layers, right, and in cold weather you
Speaker 1: can bundle up and stay warm. But even if you
Speaker 1: put unlimited layers on at times, if it's so cold,
Speaker 1: it's just going to be brutal. But look, it gets
Speaker 1: dark earlier during the wintertime, there's not as much to
Speaker 1: do outside. In the wintertime, there's not as much vitamin
Speaker 1: D to take in. So I understand, like the seasons
Speaker 1: when it comes to just like what's the funner time of.
Speaker 2: The year for people, I get it.
Speaker 1: It's usually spring, summer, and then fall, and then the
Speaker 1: winter is something that gives people legitimate like seasonal depression.
Speaker 1: That's a real thing. But I've always been I guess
Speaker 1: just wired different. Some say I'm just weird. I prefer
Speaker 1: it being cold outside, and I'm also maybe this just
Speaker 1: says I'm a sick and twisted individual.
Speaker 3: I don't mind when it gets dark early. Well here's
Speaker 3: a great thing for you now too. With this new schedule,
Speaker 3: it'll be way easier to fall asleep at times, like
Speaker 3: you know, seven o'clock at night, because it'll already be
Speaker 3: pitch a black outside.
Speaker 1: And that has been I'm glad you said that, John,
Speaker 1: because that has actually been my biggest challenge when it
Speaker 1: comes to adjusting. I mean it's not been super smooth.
Speaker 1: I now I now at least know better, right, Like
Speaker 1: if I end up deciding, hey, no, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't need to get a quick nap in to reset.
Speaker 1: Like I know now that by the time we get
Speaker 1: to eight o'clock, I'm dead and I'm gonna pay for it.
Speaker 1: But my kids, it's dark. It's it's not dark outside
Speaker 1: until like past ten pm. And and when it's daylight,
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to get them, you know, calm down
Speaker 1: and get them at least heading into the direction of
Speaker 1: getting rested to go to sleep. When they see that
Speaker 1: it's daylight, they're like, what are you what are.
Speaker 2: You talking about? Dad?
Speaker 1: It's not nighttime. And I'm struggling when it comes to that. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, though, when it gets to to be fall
Speaker 1: and winter, it'll be much different, and it'll be it'll
Speaker 1: be dark at six.
Speaker 3: O'clock, even five o'clock, once you get to the really
Speaker 3: true worst days of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I that seems like it was so
Speaker 1: long ago, but it really wasn't that long ago. Whenever
Speaker 1: we made the you know, whenever you have the you know,
Speaker 1: the annual time change where of course it becomes it stays,
Speaker 1: it stays light much later into the evening. But yeah,
Speaker 1: whenever I would wrap up the show when I was
Speaker 1: doing sports at six o'clock, I mean, it would be,
Speaker 1: it'd be pitch block outside as if.
Speaker 2: It was midnight.
Speaker 1: So anyhow, gonna be another warm day today, So just
Speaker 1: be prepared for those of you here in Kentucky.
Speaker 2: Anda.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get an update on traffic and weather. Also,
Speaker 1: Tom Jurich, he's gonna be honored this weekend as UFL
Speaker 1: is going to name part of Floyd Street after him,
Speaker 1: Jurich Way. He was on with Terry Miners yesterday. We'll
Speaker 1: let you hear some of what Tom had to say
Speaker 1: about this big event coming up on Saturday, and a
Speaker 1: lot more as we wrote along here on news radio
Speaker 1: eight forty WHS. If you were listening to Terry Miners
Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon, which I hope you were, you probably heard
Speaker 1: a familiar voice if you're a Louisville fan, and that
Speaker 1: was Tom Jurich, who joined Terry to discuss this weekend's event.
Speaker 1: On Saturday, at ten am, the University of Louisville, along
Speaker 1: with the City of Louisville, will be honoring Tom Jurich
Speaker 1: by naming part of Floyd Street after him.
Speaker 2: It'll be called Jurich Way.
Speaker 1: So again, it's at ten am, and I would expect
Speaker 1: a good to really good crowd, just depending upon the
Speaker 1: amount of Louisville fans that I think are well aware
Speaker 1: that the athletic Department at U of l is is
Speaker 1: really on a different planet than what it could have
Speaker 1: potentially been on had Tom Jurich not had the impact
Speaker 1: that that he did.
Speaker 2: So again, Saturday, June.
Speaker 1: Twenty eighth, ten am at Lenny Lyles Plaza at card
Speaker 1: Park that's twenty one to thirty five South Floyd Street.
Speaker 1: Here is some of Tom's comments to Terry yesterday.
Speaker 4: Well, it's awful nice. I mean, it's very humbling to
Speaker 4: say the least, you know, but I appreciate Craig reaching
Speaker 4: out and wanted to do this, and certainly the people
Speaker 4: of the university also, and it's it's just a great
Speaker 4: time to reflect on the wonderful memories that we had
Speaker 4: of the city of Louisville.
Speaker 1: So I think this is this is something that is
Speaker 1: for Tom and also for fans and of course the.
Speaker 2: University those that are that are that are that are.
Speaker 1: There currently that realize one, this is a deserved honor
Speaker 1: for Tom, but also that this can only I think
Speaker 1: be a positive thing for everyone involved. There's no negative
Speaker 1: situation that I think could come from this. I could
Speaker 1: be wrong, but I've heard from some and some of
Speaker 1: the people that I've talked to about this are people
Speaker 1: who have also worked sort of in media that have
Speaker 1: had that, that have covered U of L that maybe
Speaker 1: you know, they didn't just cover the athletic department, maybe
Speaker 1: they covered the university and they were really I guess
Speaker 1: tracking the foundation situation, if I can call it that,
Speaker 1: between James Ramsey and Jurich. And you know, I won't
Speaker 1: claim to have all the knowledge about that, but from
Speaker 1: a fan standpoint.
Speaker 2: Fans don't care about that.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that like, you know, anybody bringing
Speaker 1: it up, is that a line or whatever, But like,
Speaker 1: at this point, the guy has not worked here in
Speaker 1: almost a decade, and I just you know, there was
Speaker 1: a lot of I mean, look, the exit was messy,
Speaker 1: and he'll even tell you that. I'm pretty sure he
Speaker 1: has never at any point not been pretty clear that
Speaker 1: he's unhappy with the way it ended. And I think
Speaker 1: most would be if you were Tom So, I see
Speaker 1: this as nothing but a win win for everybody involved,
Speaker 1: and I get the sense that most are on the
Speaker 1: same page. But regardless of what your thoughts are on Jurich.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you could even debate that he
Speaker 1: has maybe been the most impactful human being in the
Speaker 1: history of Louisville's athletic department as a whole. That may
Speaker 1: sound like I'm gassing him up a little too much,
Speaker 1: and that's to the extreme, but I mean, and again
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about one specific sport. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: what the athletic department is today.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: Louisville basketball obviously stood on its own before Tom was
Speaker 1: around because what Denny Crumb did. And no offense to
Speaker 1: those that came before Denny, but obviously Denny made Louisville
Speaker 1: a basketball program, a basketball school, and certainly, I mean
Speaker 1: it's why you are still today viewed as one of
Speaker 1: the top seven eight programs of all time because of
Speaker 1: the foundation that was set mostly by Denny. But to
Speaker 1: Tom's credit, when he did have to make a move
Speaker 1: and Denny was nudged out and they had to go
Speaker 1: get somebody else to kind of, I mean take it
Speaker 1: over for Denny Crumb. Big shoester Fiel right, especially considering
Speaker 1: that been it had been some time since Louisville had
Speaker 1: some real, notable special teams that made deep runs in
Speaker 1: the tournament, and he went on and got Rick Patino,
Speaker 1: and obviously Rick Patino being here as long as he
Speaker 1: was and the incidents that took place, and Tom being
Speaker 1: very loyal to Rick. That was ultimately why Tom Jurch
Speaker 1: and Rick Patina worked both effectively fired in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1: But regardless, Rick Patino's run here at Louisville with multiple
Speaker 1: final fours in a national championship, that was such a
Speaker 1: monumental era that has allowed you to again have disastrous
Speaker 1: seasons like you did with Kenny Payne, and yet still
Speaker 1: be a program that people can can can know how
Speaker 1: bad you were for a little stretch there, and still
Speaker 1: say without any hesitation that it's one of the best,
Speaker 1: at least one of the top ten programs of all time. So,
Speaker 1: you know, the other athletic departments, I mean the investments
Speaker 1: in resources and the hires that were made from Dan
Speaker 1: McDonald to Jeff Walls, I mean, to Charlie Strong, I
Speaker 1: mean that was he messed it up with Cragthorpe, meaning
Speaker 1: he got it wrong. You know, nobody as an athletic
Speaker 1: director I think has made a perfect hire every time.
Speaker 1: Clearly Steve Kragthorpe was not one, but he quickly corrected
Speaker 1: it and hired Charlie Strong, who the timing of Charlie's success,
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was impactful in a way
Speaker 1: that I don't think people realize. If you didn't have
Speaker 1: any momentum in football at the time the ACC had
Speaker 1: an opening, I don't know if you'd gotten the invite.
Speaker 1: So the momentum that Louisville Athletics had at that time
Speaker 1: when the ACC had a spot open because Maryland left
Speaker 1: to go to the Big Ten, I mean, there are
Speaker 1: a lot of factors at play, but really the athletic
Speaker 1: department booming and thriving the way it was was how
Speaker 1: you ended up getting that ACC invite, and that is
Speaker 1: I think largely due to Tom Rich And let's even
Speaker 1: back up the Big East. That was a big jump.
Speaker 1: Let's be real, going from Conference USA to the Big
Speaker 1: East was a big jump as well, and it I
Speaker 1: think is mostly due to the to the effort in
Speaker 1: in what Tom George did. So I'm happy for Tom
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping that he despite having some clear bitter
Speaker 1: feelings towards how it ended here, he's he's He's beloved
Speaker 1: by a lot of fans and I expect he'll be
Speaker 1: able to really feel that on Saturday. All right, we
Speaker 1: got at sports update coming your way with Scott Fitzgerald.
Speaker 1: But first let's get an update on Trappick and weather
Speaker 1: right here on news radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2: Thank you, John. It is seven thirty five here Kentucky
Speaker 2: and his.
Speaker 1: Morning news with Nick Coffee on news Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 1: Listen live wherever you are, whatever you're doing. You can
Speaker 1: do that with the iHeart Radio app. Also listen at
Speaker 1: whas dot com. So there is a new law in
Speaker 1: place that impacts teachers in Kentucky as well as coach.
Speaker 1: This is from Senate Bill one any One, and it
Speaker 1: went into effect just recently. It now restricts how public
Speaker 1: school employees and volunteers meeting coaches and those that work
Speaker 1: in the school that maybe are not full time or
Speaker 1: maybe just volunteer, but it restricts how they can communicate
Speaker 1: with students. And this is to prevent child sex abuse.
Speaker 1: So you'll have no texting, social media or third party
Speaker 1: app communications with students, no messaging to students' personal emails.
Speaker 1: All communication is going to be going through a traceable
Speaker 1: school channel. And I'm sure the school systems are still
Speaker 1: working to put that together. Maybe they have it, but
Speaker 1: everything you do as far as communicating with any student
Speaker 1: will now be traceable, which again, all that makes sense,
Speaker 1: but I do think there's clearly some challenges that are
Speaker 1: going to be involved here, and overall, I think if
Speaker 1: you just instant reaction, especially those that aren't maybe in
Speaker 1: the school system, don't coach, don't have kids, they just.
Speaker 2: Think, yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker 1: Why would any teacher need to be texting their student directly,
Speaker 1: Why would any teacher need to be right, you know,
Speaker 1: friends with one of their students on social media on Facebook.
Speaker 1: I mean I saw somebody that I know that's a
Speaker 1: teacher that did just let everybody know, hey, I have
Speaker 1: to defriend you if you were currently a student, which
Speaker 1: I didn't know high school kids were on Facebook. But
Speaker 1: again what do I know. I don't know what high
Speaker 1: school kids do or whatnot. But anyways, this JCPS teachers
Speaker 1: they have until JCPS staff they have until August first,
Speaker 1: and they must use only JCPS email or communicate via parents.
Speaker 1: But post August first, JCPS is going to adopt a
Speaker 1: standardized traceable communication method, So school statewide have until August
Speaker 1: fifteenth to comply with this law. And when I think
Speaker 1: of high school, I think of I think of athletics,
Speaker 1: I think of basketball. I played basketball in high school.
Speaker 1: Is a huge part of my life. My high school
Speaker 1: coach was is still a huge impact on has had
Speaker 1: a huge impact on my life, and is somebody that
Speaker 1: I was very close with that I believe had a
Speaker 1: huge positive impact on my life. And had this been
Speaker 1: in place at that time, that really wouldn't have been possible.
Speaker 1: So here is a list of what you can and
Speaker 1: can't do with this new law in place. You can't
Speaker 1: send a private text message directly to students. You can't
Speaker 1: use personal email to communicate with students. You can't message
Speaker 1: students via social media rather than be Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat
Speaker 1: x Twitter. You can't like, comment, retweet, or otherwise engage
Speaker 1: in two way interaction on students social media posts. You
Speaker 1: can't use non traceable apps, which of course are dms
Speaker 1: and WhatsApp when it comes to communicating with students. You
Speaker 1: also can't communicate one on one with a student electronically
Speaker 1: without using district approved platforms or including parents. Now what
Speaker 1: you can do on the CANS list. You can use
Speaker 1: school approved traceable platforms like Google, Classroom, district Email, parent Square,
Speaker 1: which I guess is a platform, include parents in direct
Speaker 1: electronic communication when and if allowed by district community k
Speaker 1: through district issued devices, accounts that track and log all
Speaker 1: messages use approved parent communication like apps like remind or
Speaker 1: parent Square. I don't know what those are, but I'm
Speaker 1: sure they're popular within that within the you know that community.
Speaker 1: You can use that to share announcements, just communicate on schedules,
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Also, you can communicate with with
Speaker 1: your own children or immediate family via personal school channels
Speaker 1: if you know you're related, right, if you have a
Speaker 1: if one of your students happens to be your son
Speaker 1: or daughter, clearly they're not going to limit what you
Speaker 1: can do in that aspect. But just something something minor
Speaker 1: that and this is in the end of the world.
Speaker 2: But let's say.
Speaker 1: Let's say I'm a I'm a high school basketball coach
Speaker 1: and John Alden is my star player, and he is
Speaker 1: a star and he just picked up his dream offer
Speaker 1: from the Indiana Hoosiers. Daring DeVries said he's seen enough.
Speaker 1: He wants John Alden to wear the stripes. He wants
Speaker 1: him to wear the the uh, you know, going to
Speaker 1: be a Hoosier. I can't congratulate John on the offer
Speaker 1: on social media because I'm violating the law. I mean again,
Speaker 1: I mean again, that's an extreme example. But like to
Speaker 1: know that you now can't do that. It's crazy, you
Speaker 1: can't even I mean, like, I guess there's one thing
Speaker 1: in if you this is where maybe there's there's a
Speaker 1: gray area. If I wanted to go to Facebook and
Speaker 1: say great game tonight, really proud of my team. Scott
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald was was an animal on the backboard. If I
Speaker 1: don't tag him, is that okay? Can you say their name?
Speaker 1: Because that's not really interacting, that's just yes. I mean,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be challenging this because I don't you know,
Speaker 1: one you don't want to be.
Speaker 2: Because here's here, here's here's the issue.
Speaker 1: You don't First of all, you don't want to violate
Speaker 1: the law and get in trouble, right, But also I
Speaker 1: think most people when they hear somebody that does get
Speaker 1: in trouble because of this Senate bill onine eighty one,
Speaker 1: they're probably just going to think they were being very inappropriate.
Speaker 1: And because that's why this is in place, because too
Speaker 1: many coaches too many. Too many teachers over the years
Speaker 1: have been able to communicate and it's not against the law,
Speaker 1: and they clearly cross the line that you can't cross.
Speaker 2: So that's why this is in place.
Speaker 1: But there's going to be some big adjustments and certainly
Speaker 1: some downsides to.
Speaker 2: It as well.
Speaker 1: But I'd say if the overall goal here is to
Speaker 1: keep teachers and coaches from crossing that line that many
Speaker 1: have crossed, and that's worth doing. But it wouldn't be
Speaker 1: shocked if they revisit this and maybe make some adjustments
Speaker 1: along the way. But we shall see. All right, Let's
Speaker 1: take a look on the other side here at more
Speaker 1: of these things that this parenting coach tells us we
Speaker 1: should stop saying to our kids, because it makes me
Speaker 1: feel like I'm parenting wrong and that makes me worried.
Speaker 1: But maybe I'm not alone. Trapping weather updates coming up
Speaker 1: right here right now on news radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 1: You may have picked up on this already, but at
Speaker 1: times can have a pretty childish sense of humor. I
Speaker 1: don't know why I find this so funny, and it happens.
Speaker 1: And what I mean is the news channels that will
Speaker 1: interview someone for a story and and mention their name,
Speaker 1: and then mention you know who they are, and just
Speaker 1: to give some context to why they're talking to this person,
Speaker 1: let me give you an example. I remember whenever I don't remember.
Speaker 1: It was one of the many controversies that U of
Speaker 1: L had over over the years, many years ago, and
Speaker 1: one of the news stations, and this is probably somebody
Speaker 1: on the younger side. They just did not realize who
Speaker 1: it was they were speaking to. But they interviewed Milt
Speaker 1: Wagner to get his thoughts, who, of course is a
Speaker 1: legendary Louisville basketball player, and instead of mentioning, you know,
Speaker 1: former cardinal national champion, it just said Louisville fan and
Speaker 1: you know that just that's probably a harmless miss it's
Speaker 1: an honest mistake, but like it's just it's a bad look. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm looking here and I don't know what I think this.
Speaker 1: I think this is a screen grab for might be
Speaker 1: drb uh. But they're they're interviewing folks, I assume about
Speaker 1: the Kroger locations across the country that are closing, and
Speaker 1: certainly there's there's some here in Kentucky, one in Louisville,
Speaker 1: and they're getting the community's thoughts on it, and John
Speaker 1: it says the person's name is Antoine Pleasants, and it
Speaker 1: says lives in Kroger. How does one obtain residency in Kroger?
Speaker 1: That would be in krog would be a cool place
Speaker 1: to live, right, Yeah, LI were.
Speaker 3: Seeing those videos where this is a while back. People
Speaker 3: used to like they would spend the night in a
Speaker 3: grocery store and they would like take a bunch of
Speaker 3: stuff and they would hide in one of the shelves.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's what this guy's doing.
Speaker 1: I mean, could be And there's worse places to to,
Speaker 1: you know, to lay your head at night. And there's
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of I mean unlimited food, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, you can keep yourself busy. Of course, you'd
Speaker 1: have to clean up whenever they whenever they reopen. But
Speaker 1: I assume they meant lives near Kroger. But yeah, look,
Speaker 1: we all make mistakes, it happens, but lives in Kroger.
Speaker 2: I would I would. I would hope that's a mistake.
Speaker 1: But maybe maybe he's upset and they're talking to him
Speaker 1: because he's not only losing his grocery stores, losing his home.
Speaker 2: That's pretty a pretty big hit for somebody, all right.
Speaker 2: So we talked about this a little bit earlier.
Speaker 1: And I'm sharing it because i want I want to
Speaker 1: be reassured that I'm not the only one that hears
Speaker 1: this parenting coach tell us what we should not tell
Speaker 1: our children, and know that I tell my children this,
Speaker 1: and also not want to feel like I'm a bad parent.
Speaker 1: Everybody can you know, you can parent your own way.
Speaker 1: Everybody's got their own way of doing it. But this
Speaker 1: parenting coach named reim Ryuta has shared a list of
Speaker 1: phrases that you need to stop saying to your kids
Speaker 1: if you want them to listen. The ones we mentioned
Speaker 1: earlier is because I said so, And this parenting coach
Speaker 1: says that all it does is shut down communication. If
Speaker 1: you rather explain your reasoning, even briefly, it helps your
Speaker 1: kid feel respected without negotiating or debating. Instead, try saying, quote,
Speaker 1: I know you don't like this decision. I'll explain and
Speaker 1: then we're moving and then we're moving forward. I just
Speaker 1: assume that's something for an older child, because if if
Speaker 1: if I said that that exact quote to my kids,
Speaker 1: I assume they would they'd know roughly what I'm talking
Speaker 1: about but it would be such a My son asks
Speaker 1: a billion questions every five minutes. So if I instead
Speaker 1: I just said because I said so, If I just said,
Speaker 1: I know you don't like this decision, I'll explain later
Speaker 1: we're moving forward, he would ask me a million why
Speaker 1: why you're gonna explain? What are you gonna explain? What's
Speaker 1: moving forward? How far are we moving? I mean, my
Speaker 1: kids at the age where a five minute car ride
Speaker 1: will lead to five million questions. And I know I'll
Speaker 1: miss it someday, But some days I just I just
Speaker 1: turned the radio up a little bit. It's mean, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Now? I feel bad?
Speaker 3: So does he realize you're ignoring him?
Speaker 2: At that point?
Speaker 4: The radio?
Speaker 2: Okay, Dad, why aren't you talking to me? Dad? My dad?
Speaker 2: You hear me? Can you hear me?
Speaker 1: I really felt bad because now he kind of gets it,
Speaker 1: and I don't. I don't do it often, but one time.
Speaker 2: He he was, he couldn't. He was.
Speaker 1: He sits right behind me in his car seat. And
Speaker 1: I don't often drive with AirPods in, but if I'm
Speaker 1: driving and I'm having a phone call, I have them in.
Speaker 1: And he was talking to me and I wasn't. I
Speaker 1: didn't really hear him, but he was kind of going
Speaker 1: one or out the other. So I guess he asked
Speaker 1: a question and I didn't answer, so he just kind
Speaker 1: of said aloud because he's a talker like his dad.
