Speaker 1: The news radio eight forty w h S.
Speaker 2: Had a boys, John Shannon, it takes a team for
Speaker 2: it to become what sticks. Coffee and Company Kentucky and
Speaker 2: his morning news really, but it is Coffee and Company.
Speaker 2: I'm Nick Coffee, and I've got the company with me,
Speaker 2: the company men. Shall I say? John Olden's not with
Speaker 2: us today. He'll be producing a little bit later on.
Speaker 2: But Scott Fitzgerald alongside. You just heard John Shannon, and
Speaker 2: we've got one hour in the books and three more
Speaker 2: and then the weekend starts for us.
Speaker 3: A right on time, dude, absolutely all right on time.
Speaker 3: Looking forward to the weekend. You have big plans.
Speaker 2: I don't have any big plans, which is kind of exciting.
Speaker 2: My son's got a basketball game tomorrow morning, and I
Speaker 2: believe we may end up trying to get to that
Speaker 2: beer fest, which I may need to rely on Scott Fitzgerald,
Speaker 2: because if anybody can help me at a beer.
Speaker 4: Fests, it's you.
Speaker 2: Because I'm somebody that I'm like, you know, usually I'm
Speaker 2: a bushlight, bud light kind of guy.
Speaker 4: I've had.
Speaker 2: I'm not anti crap here by any means, but I've
Speaker 2: certainly not been educated on what I would eat like
Speaker 2: I would go to certain breweries that are there and
Speaker 2: they would describe sort of the type of beers that
Speaker 2: they have and some of the like I know what
Speaker 2: an ipa is, but there's other beers that I would
Speaker 2: be It would be foreign language to me.
Speaker 1: I have a fluffer nutter stout vag.
Speaker 4: Pardon if you called your physician.
Speaker 3: Ah, No, I gotta in fact well, And I've been
Speaker 3: staring at it every time I opened the fridge this week.
Speaker 3: I've been staring at it because I don't I don't
Speaker 3: drink any beer during a week just because the schedule
Speaker 3: goes too strong. But when I get home from the
Speaker 3: City game tomorrow night, I'm looking forward to tapping into
Speaker 3: that one. I got a couple of different ones that
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try as well. And that's the beauty of it. Man.
Speaker 3: And you know, back in the day, and you know
Speaker 3: you know this, I think you and I are like
Speaker 3: in that respect to when I was in the military
Speaker 3: living in what was a quase dorm, I was a
Speaker 3: bud light because you don't have craft beer back to the.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was a bud light guy.
Speaker 4: That world didn't even exist yet.
Speaker 1: No, And I mean every night I come home and
Speaker 1: you crush a few.
Speaker 3: And then when the weekend got here, there were some
Speaker 3: weekends where I was like, I'm just kind of burnout
Speaker 3: on beer. And now the nice thing is with the
Speaker 3: different craft beers and not dialing it up during the
Speaker 3: week it's a real treatounce Saturdays.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you this is now the weekends. I mean,
Speaker 2: weekends are always great, but whenever I now have to
Speaker 2: be much more mindful about my you know, my day
Speaker 2: after after five pm, Like you you know, it's just
Speaker 2: it's not it's not not a good idea to to
Speaker 2: partake in the craft beers or really any beer just
Speaker 2: because I got to get up at three o'clock in
Speaker 2: the morning. But that has led to there being more
Speaker 2: joy Like now the weekends mean a little bit more
Speaker 2: because you know, I'm a little more mindful, a little
Speaker 2: bit more in routine, which is good for me anyway.
Speaker 2: But once we get to the weekend, it's, you know,
Speaker 2: and more than anything, it's not about just the time off.
Speaker 2: It's it's that today once we wrap up the show
Speaker 2: and I wrap up my day, and then on on Saturday,
Speaker 2: I will I will go throughout today and tomorrow knowing
Speaker 2: that I don't have to get up at three o'clock
Speaker 2: in the morning the next day, and that's become the
Speaker 2: payoff of the weekend, right.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I remember.
Speaker 4: We've been doing this for a long time, but it's.
Speaker 3: New to me.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: And I'm glad that someone else recognizes it because I
Speaker 3: never really I thought I was just kind of the
Speaker 3: only one that felt that. To your point, I mean,
Speaker 3: there's a little admittedly there's a little extra pep in
Speaker 3: your step on Friday, there is typically with all of us.
Speaker 3: But when you work this kind of shift and you
Speaker 3: take the grind as hard as you do because you're
Speaker 3: doing a ton of social media stuff, you're fully invested
Speaker 3: in this. I mean, and you're not just posting on
Speaker 3: x or anything like that. I mean, you're you're producing
Speaker 3: videos on TikTok anywhere else. Plus you're digging deep into stories.
Speaker 1: Dude. When you can just.
Speaker 3: Leave your brain at the door and just sit down
Speaker 3: and relax for three days, it's it's.
Speaker 4: Cold, no doubt.
Speaker 2: And I've always felt like saying that Friday's the best
Speaker 2: day of the week because it's a workday for most people.
Speaker 2: If you work a normal Monday through Friday.
Speaker 4: Job.
Speaker 2: Friday is a workday, and really a lot of things
Speaker 2: are just about state of mind. But Friday, if you
Speaker 2: are Monday through Friday nine to five, or just anything
Speaker 2: Monday through Friday, the reason Friday feels so great is, yes,
Speaker 2: you did probably spend many of those hours working a job,
Speaker 2: maybe even a job that you don't like, but you
Speaker 2: know that the next day and even the next day,
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about, you know, being prepared
Speaker 2: to start you start your work day or start your
Speaker 2: school day, whatever it may be. So I finally realize that.
Speaker 2: Then again, maybe I'm not making sense, not to sound
Speaker 2: like a philosopher here, but the state of mind of
Speaker 2: a Friday is why it feels like the best day,
Speaker 2: because you know the next two days you're free. You
Speaker 2: can kind of, you know, maybe not do whatever you want,
Speaker 2: but you know, you just don't have to go to work.
Speaker 2: And that's why Sundays are good. I don't do much
Speaker 2: of anything on Sundays anymore, just to get ready for
Speaker 2: the week, but there's the feeling of Sunday. Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know I know that three o'clock, that three am
Speaker 2: alarm clock is going to be a real pain in
Speaker 2: my ass the next day.
Speaker 1: Well, and I know that you appreciate.
Speaker 3: And there's some people, in fact, I just posted this
Speaker 3: up by the next you know, some people live their
Speaker 3: lives to you know, basically I need to get to
Speaker 3: Friday to escape the life they live during the week.
Speaker 3: That should never be the case. Now, I don't think
Speaker 3: that's what you're talking about here. It's just a chance
Speaker 3: for you to kind of put things down for a bit.
Speaker 3: And we all need that, dude, we all need to recharge,
Speaker 3: and especially when the weather starts getting nice in the fall.
Speaker 3: And to your point, you've got football. Now you'll be
Speaker 3: able to sit back and watch some college football all
Speaker 3: day Saturday.
Speaker 1: And for those that love the NFL on Sunday. So yep.
Speaker 2: And I tell you what, it's not just something that
Speaker 2: is nice to have, it is needed.
Speaker 4: You will you will.
Speaker 2: Suffer if you don't do some self care and just
Speaker 2: unwind and disconnect. So just keep that in mind. Not
Speaker 2: that I'm a therapist by any means, but I can
Speaker 2: tell you from experience, even if it feels like you
Speaker 2: shouldn't be doing it, don't don't over don't overdo it.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: It never works out well for anybody. So all right,
Speaker 2: let's let's get an update on trafficking weather. Bobby Ellis
Speaker 2: will tell us how the roadways are looking here so far.
Speaker 2: On a Friday morning, we'll get the latest forecast from
Speaker 2: Matt Melosovich a WLK. Why and what I want to
Speaker 2: get to next is the latest on what's going on
Speaker 2: with Kroger. I feel for him because this may not
Speaker 2: be as as rare as I think it is, and
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's actually not, but this has been a
Speaker 2: storyline in the news in regards to rodent droppings at
Speaker 2: multiple locations, and even if they're working hard and they've
Speaker 2: made improvements, it's still been a story for about a
Speaker 2: month now, which is not idea when it comes to
Speaker 2: a popective. So we'll get to that in a lot more.
Speaker 2: It's Knsuctuta's Morning News. Here's Radio eight forty whas. Terry
Speaker 2: Miners here for Bowling roofing. We've all seen those recent
Speaker 2: storms causing extensive damage to roofs. It is six seventeen
Speaker 2: here at Kentucky and it's Morning News Coffee and Company
Speaker 2: News Radio eight forty whas. So we'll give you the
Speaker 2: latest on the situation at Kroger because it is exactly
Speaker 2: that it's a situation. They have probably more inspections going
Speaker 2: on than they ever have maybe internally, and of course
Speaker 2: the those that work for the Louisville Metro Public Health
Speaker 2: Department that are keep keeping these businesses following certain guidelines
Speaker 2: and whatnot. So it started last month at some point,
Speaker 2: I feel like it's been longer than a month, but
Speaker 2: I don't know the exact date where it became a
Speaker 2: news story, but it was the Goss Avenue Kroger that
Speaker 2: was the first that had certain aisles shut down and
Speaker 2: then the store shut down completely for a very brief
Speaker 2: amount of time. But right now they did confirm this
Speaker 2: says of yesterday, the Louisll Metro Public Health Department did
Speaker 2: confirm that they'll be inspecting the Kroger on Westport Road
Speaker 2: following a new complaint that came in yesterday. So this
Speaker 2: comes after inspections that the Brownsboro Road Kroger revealed live
Speaker 2: mouse droppings and damaged products due to rodents. Follow up
Speaker 2: inspections at that location showed some progress, according to the
Speaker 2: health officials that were there on site, and other locations
Speaker 2: Guss Avenue, Holiday Manor Lagrange Road. They've all had complaints
Speaker 2: in some form or fashion, and it looks as if
Speaker 2: Gusts Avenue and Holiday Manor have shown real improvement since
Speaker 2: that happened. That's good for you, Scott Fitzgerald. That's your Kroger, right, Yes,
Speaker 2: so they're making progress. But Lagrange Road location has shown
Speaker 2: an increase in mouse droppings results resulting in them still
Speaker 2: being open, but more aisles are closed. So stores where
Speaker 2: the droppings were found have been ordered to close those
Speaker 2: affected aisles for cleaning and sanitation, which is or sanitization,
Speaker 2: I should say, and that's what's needed. But I just
Speaker 2: maybe I'm overreacting, and maybe I'm not realizing that I'm
Speaker 2: in the minority here. But when I hear rodent droppings,
Speaker 2: I just I'm going to avoid that place. And now
Speaker 2: that it's been in multiple locations and you're not seeing
Speaker 2: this happen at competing stores, it's just a bad look
Speaker 2: from a PR perspective. Now I have gone to Kroger
Speaker 2: since then, not those locations actually have gone to pick up.
Speaker 2: There's a certain seltzer. My wife likes that that is
Speaker 2: there and not at the liquor store we typically go to.
Speaker 2: So That's why I've been there, and I haven't once
Speaker 2: thought about it. But if it was the Kroger that
Speaker 2: I go to that that was in the news for this,
Speaker 2: I mean, I'd probably still go, but it would be
Speaker 2: on my mind.
Speaker 4: And what I don't know is a was this just
Speaker 4: the expectation.
Speaker 2: Once you hit the radar of being a store or
Speaker 2: I guess a company that had at least one of
Speaker 2: their locations with this issue, or are you now being
Speaker 2: monitored more than you ever have in more than others?
Speaker 2: Meaning I guess how different is Kroger than other competitors
Speaker 2: that when it comes to groceries, because in their defense,
Speaker 2: maybe maybe this isn't that uncommon and this is just
Speaker 2: sort of I guess the process of what happens when
Speaker 2: you do end up needing to be monitored a little
Speaker 2: bit more closely. But again, there's not competitors that are
Speaker 2: in the news for this amount of time where this
Speaker 2: has continued to be a story. Also, I don't I'm
Speaker 2: not here to evaluate who's doing a good job or
Speaker 2: not when it comes to pr because I don't really know.
Speaker 2: I can't tell you what you can do. They just
Speaker 2: snap your fingers and this is no longer an issue
Speaker 2: for your brand and whatnot. But I'm thinking maybe because
Speaker 2: they have had a bunch of closures across the country,
Speaker 2: some locations I know at least one in Louisville was
Speaker 2: closed down, maybe that's been the priority for them as
Speaker 2: far as just navigating that. But if we get to
Speaker 2: another couple of weeks and this is still something that
Speaker 2: is in the news regarding a location that is newly
Speaker 2: having these issues or one that still can't get it corrected,
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think they're gonna Kroger's gonna fall
Speaker 2: apart overall. But again, if anything, it's just a bad look.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, it's like, well and we'll talk.
Speaker 3: We can talk more about it as the morning goes on.
Speaker 3: To Nick, I was gonna ask you, do you pay
Speaker 3: attention when the uh CJ comes out with their list
Speaker 3: of restaurants who have been dinged.
Speaker 4: I should, but I don't because I don't want to know.
Speaker 3: Or you just said something was very interesting, because once
Speaker 3: I see there's one place that I frequent that got
Speaker 3: danged pretty hard for something significant, and even I first
Speaker 3: split second thing, maybe I'm not going to go in there.
Speaker 3: But then again, I think if the city just checked
Speaker 3: them out. They've probably got their you know, Tea's cross.
Speaker 1: I've got to go.
Speaker 2: The best time to go was after they were shut
Speaker 2: down and then got to reopen because they probably would
Speaker 2: have never been cleaner. But then when you hear locations
Speaker 2: that had to do that and now now are again
Speaker 2: having issues, that's that's that's the problem.
Speaker 4: That's the worst look of the whole situation.
Speaker 1: I think that's right.
Speaker 2: Anyway, we'll talk about it more moving forward. This morning,
Speaker 2: We've got an update of trapping on weather coming your way.
Speaker 2: Also another update on sports from Scott right here on
Speaker 2: news Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you very.
Speaker 2: Much, John Shannon, it is Kentucky and his morning news
Speaker 2: with Coffee and Company on news Radio eight forty whas. So,
Speaker 2: yesterday was the Big twelve their media days that got started, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, I kind of like the fact that
Speaker 2: they decided to not have a preseason conference rank, Like
Speaker 2: there's no preseason poll from those that are either the
Speaker 2: coaches that vote or the media poll that they do,
Speaker 2: and I think those are pretty silly. It does give
Speaker 2: you a reference point, I suppose, as far as what
Speaker 2: those that coach in the league actually think, but we
Speaker 2: all know that none of that actually matters, and you
Speaker 2: rarely think about it once the season starts. However, the
Speaker 2: team that was picked to finish I believe dead last,
Speaker 2: was the team who ended up making it to the
Speaker 2: College Football Playoff and winning that league in Arizona State.
Speaker 2: A really good story, but it also when you create
Speaker 2: a perception from your own leagues voting, that could hurt.
Speaker 2: Like Arizona State, they ended up getting in because they
Speaker 2: won the conference, but they also had a tougher climb
Speaker 2: to get towards the top of the rankings because they
Speaker 2: didn't get the preseason benefit of the doubt, which in
Speaker 2: college football that's just that's a story for another day.
Speaker 2: But because you only play twelve games and not everybody
Speaker 2: has even close to the same level of schedule, when
Speaker 2: it comes to difficulty where you like the perception of
Speaker 2: you early on, even before you play a game, it matters.
Speaker 2: It shouldn't, but it does anywo. Anyway, the reason I
Speaker 2: wanted to get to the Big twelve is because Mike Gundy.
Speaker 2: He's been very very much I think blunt probably the
Speaker 2: best word.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say.
Speaker 2: He's been against the movement here as players seemingly went
Speaker 2: from having no power in college sports to having all
Speaker 2: the power. But you know, he's pretty direct, and I
Speaker 2: think at times he's just brash and it rubs people
Speaker 2: the wrong way. He's also said some things that if anything,
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, most coaches wouldn't say it, but
Speaker 2: maybe he's just being real with you. But he talked
Speaker 2: about needing to make the players employees of the university,
Speaker 2: and there's been so much resistance to that for a
Speaker 2: long time, and I actually think that there will be
Speaker 2: resistance moving forward. But what this would do is if
Speaker 2: there's a because the reason coaches want their to be
Speaker 2: a the status to change that these are actually employees
Speaker 2: is because that would get that would give you collective bargaining,
Speaker 2: and then you could set a salary cap. If there
Speaker 2: was a salary cap, that would make life a lot
Speaker 2: easier when it comes to one not only building your roster,
Speaker 2: but managing it. And I don't I wouldn't be against
Speaker 2: that in any way. But here's the issue. If you
Speaker 2: make the student athletes employees, there's a cost associated with
Speaker 2: that that is substantial, and that's added on that's adding
Speaker 2: on top of the now revenue sharing that they have
Speaker 2: to do where roughly twenty million is going to have
Speaker 2: to be distributed among student athletes moving forward every year,
Speaker 2: that's a twenty million dollar bill that did not use
Speaker 2: to exist that's now going to be there every year
Speaker 2: and it's only going to grow. So if you let's
Speaker 2: just use this, let's use this example. Football is the
Speaker 2: biggest cost of any of any school, and certainly it's
Speaker 2: the biggest revenue generator for most. So a football program
Speaker 2: like Ohio State, let's say eighty five scholarships, they're receiving
Speaker 2: probably fifty to sixty grand intuition, room and board and
Speaker 2: all that. Well, if pre classified as taxable income because
Speaker 2: they're employees, I mean, schools could owe seven to twelve
Speaker 2: grand in payroll taxes per athlete. That adds up we're
Speaker 2: talking about six hundred thousand to one million dollars. Then
Speaker 2: you have wage to work, right, you can't. Your scholarship's
Speaker 2: not payment, and you're going to have to not only
Speaker 2: have revenue sharing, but you're going to mean a minimum wage.
Speaker 2: You mean, you have to do something like that because
Speaker 2: they're employees. You can't just say, well, their payment is
Speaker 2: a scholarship. And then you talk about health workers, comp
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff per athlete, that's a big expense.
Speaker 2: There's eighty five scholarship athletes. And then you throw in
Speaker 2: just payroll HR, legal support. That could be another couple
Speaker 2: hundred thousand or more annually. And that's just to manage
Speaker 2: the new systems. So you're talking about an added expense
Speaker 2: of maybe I'm using football as an example, which would
Speaker 2: be most expensive, but keep in mind there are many
Speaker 2: other sports that have big rosters, nowhere near the size
Speaker 2: of a football roster, but maybe four million dollars and
Speaker 2: just a whole lot more work.
Speaker 3: Well, that's the story I posted yesterday that the University
Speaker 3: of Minnesota A. D. Mark Coyle said he presented his
Speaker 3: budget to the school's board of regents. Heberjacks an eight
Speaker 3: point seven million dollar devastate Yeah, and to run his department.
Speaker 2: And that's before any type of they have an actual again,
Speaker 2: like so this would be an added an added expense
Speaker 2: to that. And again it's just you're talking about not
Speaker 2: only what it would cost for the student athletes. You'd
Speaker 2: have to hire a lot of resources and pay those
Speaker 2: salaries and cover insurance for those people. And it's just
Speaker 2: I think that I don't know if it ever gets there.
Speaker 2: I just I assume it won't just because of what
Speaker 2: I mentioned, But if it does, I really don't mean
Speaker 2: I think at that point the benefit of even offering
Speaker 2: an athletics department for a lot of schools wouldn't be
Speaker 2: worth it. Now I'm talking about the non power programs,
Speaker 2: right like, but that that generally that overall, and if
Speaker 2: the NCAA did this, they couldn't just do it for
Speaker 2: Division one, they'd have to do it for the entire
Speaker 2: entire crop of student athletes at the Division one, two,
Speaker 2: and three level, and that that would eliminate I mean,
Speaker 2: they would eliminate sports even being a thing at smaller schools.
Speaker 1: So and that's sad. Yeah, absolutely, that's sad. No doubt
Speaker 1: that you would start to get rid of it.
Speaker 3: I think you bring up a great point, Nick, and
Speaker 3: I'm glad you're you're kind of lifting the lid on
Speaker 3: this and really taking a hard look, because when I
Speaker 3: saw that article yesterday that came out of the Minnesota
Speaker 3: Star Tribune, I was kind of like, and now it's
Speaker 3: starting to become crystal clear where we're headed with this thing,
Speaker 3: which's encapsulating everything you're talking about and that is just
Speaker 3: so sad that when did we get to this point
Speaker 3: in our world where we went talking about college athletics
Speaker 3: one making athletes employees at the university, and two now
Speaker 3: you've got an ad saying I'm going to start with
Speaker 3: the deficit of eight million dollars yep, And that's ridiculous.
Speaker 2: I think the root of this is the NCAA not
Speaker 2: having any awareness and not just assuming that they didn't
Speaker 2: have to make any adjustments along the way for generations
Speaker 2: to where it led to a lawsuit, and that lawsuit
Speaker 2: ended up getting in front of a judge that decided, yeah,
Speaker 2: what you're doing here, it's not legal, So there's going
Speaker 2: to be a settlement where you you owe billions of
Speaker 2: dollars to former athletes, and moving forward you have to
Speaker 2: at least share revenue. So it became an issue because
Speaker 2: they let it get to this point. If they would
Speaker 2: have made some modifications along the way to maybe let
Speaker 2: athletes just profit from from certain things or maybe at
Speaker 2: as there's something that could have been done that would
Speaker 2: have let that would have kept you from having the
Speaker 2: lawsuit by Ed O'Bannon that really put this thing in
Speaker 2: motion to where they just held off too long, and
Speaker 2: now it's it's seemingly and I hate to say this
Speaker 2: not to sound like such a pessimist, it is seemingly
Speaker 2: impossible to envision a scenario in the future where this
Speaker 2: isn't messy. And again, I don't know the perfect plan,
Speaker 2: but I'd say the blame falls on just then them
Speaker 2: thinking that the amateurism model that was arka at thirty
Speaker 2: years ago would be sustainable in modern times. And it,
Speaker 2: let you know, they they played chicken if you will,
Speaker 2: and a judge told them, yeah, what you've been doing
Speaker 2: for a long time not legal. And the days of
Speaker 2: players ever just not getting paid, that's never gonna happen again.
Speaker 2: And I'm not against that. It's just it's a mess.
Speaker 2: There's no way to deny that it's and it's and
Speaker 2: I get in a way if you if you think
Speaker 2: it's confusing and it's just a turn off because of
Speaker 2: what it is now, I get it. I hope that
Speaker 2: you that you stick with it because college sports are great.
Speaker 2: We certainly are a college market around here, but it
Speaker 2: may be a turnoff to people, and I kind of
Speaker 2: get it. All right, quick break, we'll get an update
Speaker 2: on Traffick and weather. Also, we will get an update
Speaker 2: on sports coming up in about twelve minutes or so.
Speaker 4: Right here on News Ready.
Speaker 2: Waight forty WHS. It is six forty nine here at Kentucky,
Speaker 2: INA's morning news news radio eight forty w h as
Speaker 2: Coffee and Company, Myself, Knitt Coffee, s Cut Fitzgerald, and
Speaker 2: John Shannon with you today. John Alden, he's uh, he's
Speaker 2: going to be in a little bit later today, not
Speaker 2: with us, but he had to pick up a different
Speaker 2: shift today. That's and that's that's because of that's just
Speaker 2: who he is, and it makes it seem even more
Speaker 2: fitting that he should go back to the nickname that
Speaker 2: I gave him when he and I worked together on
Speaker 2: our sports station, because he's a company man. Whatever you
Speaker 2: need him to do, he'll do it, and we miss him.
Speaker 2: But again, he got to sleep in a little bit today.
Speaker 2: I guess that's it's the benefit for him, and he
Speaker 2: probably needs it because he's got a newborn baby at home.
Speaker 2: But it does seem as if David, this's got to
Speaker 2: be a routine that has been established because John is
Speaker 2: no longer quite as exhausted looking whenever he arrives, and
Speaker 2: you never want to tell somebody mean you look tired,
Speaker 2: because that's a really nice way of saying you look awful.
Speaker 2: And I don't mean he looks awful. But when I
Speaker 2: see him visually tired, I just think of, man, I
Speaker 2: remember those days. But then I think, gosh, well I
Speaker 2: didn't have to get up at three o'clock when that
Speaker 2: was going on.
Speaker 3: So it's rough, dude. I mean, it's he has and
Speaker 3: he's starting to fall into his pattern.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: I was getting coffee the other morning and I was
Speaker 3: asking him, listen, so how's it going. He goes, he
Speaker 3: seemed to beat. He was pause, and I remember I
Speaker 3: was at that point because my some was porn while
Speaker 3: I was doing this gig with Tony. And you get
Speaker 3: to that point where you kind of turned that corner
Speaker 3: and then I don't know if you just get used
Speaker 3: to being tired all the time or you just learned
Speaker 3: to better deal with it. But John certainly found a
Speaker 3: new gear, and uh, yeah, we'll look forward to having
Speaker 3: him backup Monday with us.
Speaker 2: If you've been there, I'm sure sure you can relate
