1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Thank you John.

2
00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:02.359
<v Speaker 2>It is eight oh five here Kentucky had his morning

3
00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:06.240
<v Speaker 2>news with Nick Coffee on news Radio eight forty whas

4
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Good morning Kentucky, Anda, happy Juneteenth. I know a lot

5
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.240
<v Speaker 2>of folks are celebrating today and probably have the day off,

6
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:14.160
<v Speaker 2>so enjoy.

7
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Had a wet.

8
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Start to the day, but it looks as if things

9
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.320
<v Speaker 2>are clearing up, cloudy skies, and again it's a day

10
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:19.559
<v Speaker 2>off for.

11
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people, So if so enjoy.

12
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.079
<v Speaker 2>We will talk to Rory O'Neil coming up at about

13
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:29.359
<v Speaker 2>eight thirty. And obviously, like many of us across the world,

14
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.399
<v Speaker 2>not just this country, we are waiting to see exactly

15
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:36.000
<v Speaker 2>what it is that Donald Trump plans to do when

16
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the situation in Iran. He knows that

17
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.159
<v Speaker 2>nobody knows for sure what he's going to do, because

18
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:46.000
<v Speaker 2>he said those exact things yesterday quote, nobody knows what

19
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to do, as he smirked. So that's got

20
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:51.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people on the edge of their seats,

21
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>and clearly he enjoys that. It is worth mentioning that

22
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.920
<v Speaker 2>there are no plans for any type of long term war.

23
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.039
<v Speaker 2>So thankfully there's no plan to have any type of

24
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>a World War three situation on our hands. Obviously, things

25
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 2>can certainly change, and he did mention that yesterday. So

26
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 2>as far as the peace talk with Iran, Trump says

27
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:13.560
<v Speaker 2>that they want to have a conversation at the White House,

28
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>they want a nuclear deal, and he's at least seemingly

29
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:19.879
<v Speaker 2>make it appear that it's too late for that. They

30
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 2>missed the window to make that happen. At least that's

31
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.959
<v Speaker 2>sort of the vibe that's out there right now. So

32
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:28.920
<v Speaker 2>if in fact they do get to the point where

33
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 2>they're going to take action and bomb Iran, the Wall

34
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Street Journal says that Trump has approved the plans to

35
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.280
<v Speaker 2>do that, it's just he hasn't given the full green light.

36
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>He's waiting for Iran to basically ditch its nukes or

37
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>face Israel's ongoing bombings and unconditional surrenders is what he's demanding,

38
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and that's what he's been pretty clear about. Will that

39
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>actually happen on the other side, we shall see, but

40
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>it's certainly something we're monitoring.

41
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Will keep you updated as best we can.

42
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Again, Rory O'Neil, NBC News can join us coming up

43
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 2>at eight thirty. So we did let you guys know

44
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 2>at the beginning of the show today. In fact, we've

45
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 2>let you know a few times throughout because it's it's

46
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:10.240
<v Speaker 2>our duty to let people know that there's been a

47
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 2>lottery winner here in the area. And I'm just saying,

48
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:17.120
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be a crazy thing that maybe if I'm the

49
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 2>one who let you know, oh yeah, I did purchase

50
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.199
<v Speaker 2>I did purchase a lottery ticket at the Kroger on

51
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.560
<v Speaker 2>the Grange Road. If I'm the one that let you

52
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 2>know and then you realize that you bought the winning

53
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 2>the winning ticket, then I think that means I'm entitled

54
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 2>to at least something, right. I mean, I'm joking, but like,

55
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:36.319
<v Speaker 2>if you did want if you are the winner and

56
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.360
<v Speaker 2>you did, you did realize that you have a lot

57
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 2>more money that you that you didn't used to have

58
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:42.240
<v Speaker 2>until you won, and you want to throw some of

59
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>my way, I'll take it. But at the Kroger on

60
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.360
<v Speaker 2>the Grange Road, somebody won a Lucky for Life ticket

61
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 2>that's worth twenty five thousand dollars a year, or you

62
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 2>can take the lump sum, which is three hundred and

63
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 2>ninety thousand dollars. So we had a we had one

64
00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>of our listeners used the talkback feature on the out

65
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 2>radio app to kind of give us a little more

66
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.159
<v Speaker 2>clarity on what you really get if you take the

67
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 2>annual payments as far as what you're guaranteed to get

68
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 2>and also the lump sum. I think I've got the

69
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 2>correct one cued up here, and we shall see. I'm

70
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 2>gonna give it a shot. If not, it's a quick

71
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 2>fix here.

72
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:17.439
<v Speaker 3>I'm a trump drowd.

73
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>That's the wrong one. But we'll play that in just

74
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 1>a second. Let's see here, here we go.

75
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:26.240
<v Speaker 4>The twenty five for life Kentucky Lottery pays you three

76
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:30.360
<v Speaker 4>hundred and ninety thousand lumps up front, or you can

77
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 4>get twenty five thousand until you die annually, but they

78
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 4>are guaranteeing you a minimum of twenty years of payments

79
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.919
<v Speaker 4>to get you more comfortable with taking the annuity option.

80
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 4>But you get twenty five thousand for life, but a

81
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 4>minimum guaranteed of at least twenty years.

82
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.719
<v Speaker 2>So again you get the minimum guaranteed of twenty years.

83
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.000
<v Speaker 2>So I still think with this amount of money, the

84
00:03:56.039 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 2>twenty five k for a minimum twenty years or the

85
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>lump sum up three ninety, I'm still taking three ninety.

86
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>But again, everybody's got their own Like there's some people

87
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:09.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that hear this and think, oh, I've learned

88
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.759
<v Speaker 2>over my many years on earth that if I get

89
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 2>if I get three hundred and ninety thousand dollars, I

90
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 2>don't trust myself that I will be able to use

91
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 2>that wisely. I'll start spending money that I probably shouldn't

92
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 2>be spending. And honestly, you really don't know until you're

93
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>in that position, right. I mean, I'm sure there's many

94
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 2>that have never had that amount of money just come

95
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 2>to them out of nowhere. And I guess it depends

96
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 2>more so on I feel like three hundred and ninety

97
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.079
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars just a one time payment. I guess it

98
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 2>depends on your age, depends on plans that you already

99
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 2>have in place for retirement.

100
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I guess you're four oh one k. But that would

101
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>probably be enough money.

102
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 2>For a lot of folks to just go ahead and say, yeah,

103
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go ahead and retire now early or maybe

104
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:54.879
<v Speaker 2>retire really early.

105
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:56.879
<v Speaker 1>Although if you get.

106
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>The twenty five this is what first thing that came

107
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.399
<v Speaker 2>to mind for me, cause twenty five thousand dollar year

108
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:02.879
<v Speaker 2>is not a substantial amount of money as far as

109
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>you're an annual salary. But if you are somebody that

110
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.040
<v Speaker 2>works a job that you are really stressed about every day,

111
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 2>but it's it's a good paying job, and certainly your

112
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.319
<v Speaker 2>your lifestyle has become very consistent with that type of

113
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.360
<v Speaker 2>money that you get. Well, maybe the twenty five k

114
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:19.839
<v Speaker 2>a year can put you in a spot to where

115
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.680
<v Speaker 2>you take a job with less stress, clearly less responsibility

116
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 2>therefore less money. But it all works out because of

117
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 2>the twenty five k that you get annually. So again,

118
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 2>if you are the winner, just remember you if you're

119
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 2>finding out that you won because of me, I mean,

120
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:37.600
<v Speaker 2>doesn't that mean I deserve something?

121
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe?

122
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:42.519
<v Speaker 2>Please, I don't know, don't make me beg Anyways, we've

123
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>got an update of traffic and weather coming your way

135
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.439
<v Speaker 2>news update coming up at eight thirty. So something we've

136
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.920
<v Speaker 2>been discussing here and there since last Friday was the

137
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:25.639
<v Speaker 2>scary accident that took place on just near the Kennedy

138
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Bridge that led to that eighteen wheeler engulfed in flames.

139
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Just a real, real scary situation, and that of course

140
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.360
<v Speaker 2>was one that'll get way more attention given just the

141
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.199
<v Speaker 2>visual and just the crazy story that this driver, Jeffrey Walker,

142
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.879
<v Speaker 2>despite having some injuries when it comes to a broken leg,

143
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:45.759
<v Speaker 2>broken ankle, and that's going to take a while to recover.

144
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.279
<v Speaker 2>But the fact that he's you know, he's he's okay

145
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.079
<v Speaker 2>in the grand scheme of things, is really a miracle when.

146
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 1>You just think of what you saw.

147
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 2>So that's the fourth semi crash in the area since

148
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 2>May and Mayor Greenberg is taking action and looking into

149
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 2>ways to prevent these accidents, and of course the cause

150
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:07.720
<v Speaker 2>of this specific accident is still unknown. Investigators are looking

151
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.759
<v Speaker 2>at camera footage to pinpoint the cause and could be

152
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.199
<v Speaker 2>wet roads, could be speeding, and we'll have to just

153
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.240
<v Speaker 2>wait and see. Clearly, they're going to try to figure

154
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.040
<v Speaker 2>out why this keeps happening. And look, they may not

155
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.199
<v Speaker 2>find out any real specific root cause that they can eliminate,

156
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:24.360
<v Speaker 2>but of course it's something that you got to look

157
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.399
<v Speaker 2>into as best you can because of how dangerous it is.

158
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.120
<v Speaker 2>But we had another truck driver using our talkback feature

159
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:33.160
<v Speaker 2>on the iHeartRadio app share his thoughts on the many

160
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 2>accidents that we're having here in really very similar spots

161
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:38.839
<v Speaker 2>or sometimes the same spot.

162
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:40.680
<v Speaker 1>And it's eighteen wheelers.

163
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm a truck driver in the city of Louisville and

164
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.319
<v Speaker 3>I've been across that sixty five bridge many, many, many times,

165
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.360
<v Speaker 3>and I believe the main problem there is not the surface,

166
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:58.519
<v Speaker 3>it's signage and speed of the trucks. And Nick, I

167
00:07:58.560 --> 00:07:59.800
<v Speaker 3>think you're doing a great job.

168
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 4>You really are.

169
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.319
<v Speaker 2>Keep it up, bro, Thank you, dad, appreciate it. Now

170
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.959
<v Speaker 2>that's not really my dad, but I do thank you

171
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:09.839
<v Speaker 2>for saying that.

172
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate it.

173
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.279
<v Speaker 2>And you know that's somebody who is in the area

174
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>from Louisville that says that he's he's driving that in

175
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:18.199
<v Speaker 2>that stretch.

176
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.439
<v Speaker 1>He either he is currently or he does he used

177
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:22.240
<v Speaker 1>to at some point.

178
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.800
<v Speaker 2>So that's somebody with direct knowledge of of of driving

179
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.319
<v Speaker 2>an eighteen wheeler in the area where these accidents happen,

180
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:32.639
<v Speaker 2>and speed certainly a factor. I wouldn't I wouldn't think

181
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 2>anybody would be surprised by that, But maybe there could

182
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.840
<v Speaker 2>be some signage, maybe some more warnings ahead that you're

183
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.159
<v Speaker 2>gonna need to reduce the speed, and if you keep

184
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:42.360
<v Speaker 2>having accidents like this, you're just gonna know, Hey, I'm

185
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.000
<v Speaker 2>going through an area with a with a semi truck

186
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.919
<v Speaker 2>that others have not been able to get through without

187
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:49.639
<v Speaker 2>a pretty serious accident.

188
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:51.960
<v Speaker 1>So I'm sure they'll do as best they.

189
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Can to figure out why this is happening and do

190
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>whatever is possible to prevent it if possible.

191
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, we've got another update of sports coming your way. Also,

192
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Rory O'Neill going to join us at eight thirty.

193
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.120
<v Speaker 2>But now let's get a check on the weather and

194
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.799
<v Speaker 2>traffic on Who's Radio eight forty whas it's our final

195
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 2>segment here this morning on Kentucky and it's Morning News.

196
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Tony and Dwight are coming your way here shortly. We've

197
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.559
<v Speaker 2>talked a lot about the baseball season coming to an

198
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.360
<v Speaker 2>end this morning, Tony. But what does it do for

199
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.519
<v Speaker 2>somebody who covered sports for so long around here? When

200
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.559
<v Speaker 2>you see that the University of Louisville, because of a

201
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.080
<v Speaker 2>financial shortfall, is having to take out a line of

202
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.679
<v Speaker 2>credit from P and C Bank of twenty five million

203
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.600
<v Speaker 2>just to get the bills paid, it's certainly the sign

204
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.480
<v Speaker 2>of the times. But also that's just I mean, we're

205
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.519
<v Speaker 2>not that far removed from where it seemed like UFL

206
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:42.559
<v Speaker 2>couldn't run out of money.

207
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.840
<v Speaker 5>This is where when you pay and I don't know what, look,

208
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:49.960
<v Speaker 5>Tom overpaid people a good people to come here. A

209
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.200
<v Speaker 5>lot of those right, A lot of those salaries it kept,

210
00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:55.679
<v Speaker 5>you know, through the last ten years or nine years

211
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:58.519
<v Speaker 5>he's been gone. Sometimes you've got to ask, is the

212
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.039
<v Speaker 5>and no offense to the softball field hockey coach, No

213
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.360
<v Speaker 5>offense to you. But I'm just saying, for sports that

214
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 5>aren't bringing any money in, do you pay those people

215
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.879
<v Speaker 5>four hundred thousand dollars when you know someone's going to

216
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:10.000
<v Speaker 5>do it for one twenty five?

217
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:11.559
<v Speaker 6>You know, That's all I'm saying.

218
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I have to know that too. That's all right, say

219
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:13.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you.

220
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.639
<v Speaker 5>Know how mean a coaches'd be like to coach college

221
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.279
<v Speaker 5>into ACC I'll do it for one twenty five. You know,

222
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.840
<v Speaker 5>you got to start making those decisions because you shouldn't

223
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:23.039
<v Speaker 5>be able. You shouldn't be in debt. When you're making

224
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.759
<v Speaker 5>one hundred and eighty million dollars in revenue in the

225
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:28.519
<v Speaker 5>athletic department. That is an insane amount of money. I

226
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.120
<v Speaker 5>said that to somebody the other day and they looked

227
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.080
<v Speaker 5>at me and said, you mean per year, and I

228
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.720
<v Speaker 5>was like, yes, they generate one hundred and eighty million

229
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:38.159
<v Speaker 5>dollars a year and they still can't make their bills.

230
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:39.120
<v Speaker 6>That's a problem.

231
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.919
<v Speaker 5>If they start passing this on to the regular students,

232
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:43.000
<v Speaker 5>I'll lose my mind.

233
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:44.559
<v Speaker 6>There's I'll lose my mind.

234
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Wichita State again example, because they're they're they have some

235
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:51.039
<v Speaker 2>basketball presents, but obviously they don't bring in the annual

236
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:53.679
<v Speaker 2>revenue from the American Conference like you do in the

237
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Big ten SEC and whatnot. They have increased tuition, letting

238
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:00.279
<v Speaker 2>people know it is because we have to pay players now, and.

239
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.200
<v Speaker 6>You gotta hide that information. You got to hide that information.

240
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:04.759
<v Speaker 5>A lot of him tell him it's for something else.

241
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 5>It's you know, it's the fleecing of America. A four

242
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.840
<v Speaker 5>year degree. My daughter is at Cincinnati, it's gonna end

243
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.399
<v Speaker 5>up coll siness about one point fifteen. There's no reason

244
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:17.799
<v Speaker 5>a four year classical studies degree from u SEE should

245
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.279
<v Speaker 5>be one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars.

246
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, maybe it's me getting older and becoming I

247
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.480
<v Speaker 2>guess a grown up. But you can't convince me in

248
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.919
<v Speaker 2>any way that the return on investment is really there, because, yes,

249
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.720
<v Speaker 2>you could utilize your degree to potentially put yourself in

250
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:34.759
<v Speaker 2>a position where you have a good paying job, or

251
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:36.799
<v Speaker 2>you could do something else without a degree and probably

252
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 2>be in a similar situation financially. I guess it all

253
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 2>depends on what you do. But I mean it is uh.

254
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.720
<v Speaker 6>And again, I will encourage any hes pro.

255
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Sports in college athletics, now right, that's what this is.

256
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:48.600
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely.

257
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.360
<v Speaker 5>I would encourage anybody to take my son's route, which

258
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.759
<v Speaker 5>was he did a paper on student loan debt when

259
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:55.559
<v Speaker 5>he was a sophomore in high school and it scared

260
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.440
<v Speaker 5>him so bad. You know, he wants to serve, that's

261
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.039
<v Speaker 5>the first thing. But he paid for half his school

262
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:04.039
<v Speaker 5>by committing to the Navy, and he'll do five years

263
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:05.559
<v Speaker 5>in the Navy, which he loves already.

264
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:09.120
<v Speaker 6>But do take that route. It's a cheat code for life.

265
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.919
<v Speaker 5>Let them pay for your college, serve for five years

266
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.320
<v Speaker 5>at least, and you have some supplemental insurance for less

267
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:17.759
<v Speaker 5>of your life, and you know what else, you get

268
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:20.559
<v Speaker 5>the benefit of the doubt for the rest of your life.

269
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Well said, Well said.

270
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:25.279
<v Speaker 2>And I think it just reminds me of something I

271
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 2>was talking about with John earlier whenever I was in

272
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.600
<v Speaker 2>high school at that time. And I believe this was

273
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.679
<v Speaker 2>the case. This was just the temperature with education in

274
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.960
<v Speaker 2>our country around this time. That we weren't brainwashed, but

275
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.840
<v Speaker 2>there was consistently throughout my entire time in high school,

276
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:41.519
<v Speaker 2>there was the notion if you didn't go to a

277
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.080
<v Speaker 2>four year institution, it was going to be a really

278
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:44.759
<v Speaker 2>tough life for you, and that things were just going

279
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:46.559
<v Speaker 2>to be things were just going to be really hard.

280
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.639
<v Speaker 2>And the big you know, the face that teachers would

281
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.519
<v Speaker 2>make when you would tell them you didn't have plans

282
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:52.879
<v Speaker 2>for a four year degree.

283
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh, they were so sad for your year.

284
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.759
<v Speaker 2>And yet now in the Bulla County public school system,

285
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:02.799
<v Speaker 2>where there's a whole department that didn't exist then that

286
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:04.679
<v Speaker 2>does now. That is just going to schools in middle

287
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.720
<v Speaker 2>school and high school. That is letting that letting them

288
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.799
<v Speaker 2>know of all the resources they have after high school

289
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:12.639
<v Speaker 2>to go get a trade job, to get an apprenticeship somewhere.

290
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.639
<v Speaker 2>And when you look at getting a good paying job

291
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.440
<v Speaker 2>learning how to do something that certainly there's value there

292
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:20.600
<v Speaker 2>and you don't have an insane amount of debt yet

293
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:22.159
<v Speaker 2>that just can cripple.

294
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:24.320
<v Speaker 6>Youah, or just get a simple four year degree. You

295
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:25.480
<v Speaker 6>don't have to because here's the thing.

296
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:28.399
<v Speaker 5>They'll ask that the studies have been done, how much

297
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.600
<v Speaker 5>people retain from their four years in college. Every year

298
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:34.559
<v Speaker 5>that you go out from graduation day, it goes down

299
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:38.159
<v Speaker 5>in percentage, and it's a large percent. Just twelve months later,

300
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:40.440
<v Speaker 5>how much they retained from what they learned in college,

301
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:43.480
<v Speaker 5>it's like twenty percent, and then it goes down from there.

302
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:46.600
<v Speaker 5>So you're five ten years out, you don't remember anything

303
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.240
<v Speaker 5>that you took. Oh, I took eight years of Spanish,

304
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:51.480
<v Speaker 5>yes speak Spanish.

305
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.480
<v Speaker 2>I can't things that I think should have always been

306
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.279
<v Speaker 2>rather obvious. You now hear people saying aloud, which is

307
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:00.120
<v Speaker 2>your four year degree is a sign of you working

308
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.840
<v Speaker 2>hard being educated, and it is. It is an accomplishment.

309
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:06.759
<v Speaker 2>I applaud anybody who goes and finishes college and gets

310
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:09.840
<v Speaker 2>a degree, but man, there cannot be many that are

311
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.159
<v Speaker 2>using on a day to day basis something that they

312
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.480
<v Speaker 2>specifically took away from the curriculum in college.

313
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.200
<v Speaker 5>And the other thing with universities, most of the costs

314
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.159
<v Speaker 5>now is the living expenses because they don't own those.

315
00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:24.519
<v Speaker 5>That's been the biggest fleecing thing is those condos they

316
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.039
<v Speaker 5>build on campus, like at u of L.

317
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:27.159
<v Speaker 6>They don't own those.

318
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:30.039
<v Speaker 5>They have a contract with that company, right and I'm

319
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:31.879
<v Speaker 5>sure they make they get a cut of it, but

320
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:34.399
<v Speaker 5>that company is fleecing Americans.

321
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:35.360
<v Speaker 6>Their rent.

322
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.720
<v Speaker 5>Their rent per month and they're sharing a space with

323
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.240
<v Speaker 5>everybody is more than most people's mortgages, And you're like,

324
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:44.679
<v Speaker 5>how does this make sense?

325
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:47.399
<v Speaker 2>I think at least some are realizing that that you

326
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:49.919
<v Speaker 2>clearly can can not you could, you can, You have

327
00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:51.279
<v Speaker 2>options when it comes to which you want to do

328
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.480
<v Speaker 2>post high school. But man, I swear I think it's

329
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:57.440
<v Speaker 2>just the fear for so many years is certainly in

330
00:14:57.480 --> 00:14:58.399
<v Speaker 2>my childhood of.

331
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, whatever it is we got to take out, will

332
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:00.440
<v Speaker 1>do it.

333
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Because Hubby, room and board, meal plan, whatever we got

334
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:05.039
<v Speaker 2>to do, we'll do it because the thought of my

335
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.080
<v Speaker 2>kid not going to a college, you know, means the

336
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:07.600
<v Speaker 2>life is over.

337
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:10.120
<v Speaker 5>And there's companies like Target and others that will pay

338
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:12.440
<v Speaker 5>for your school if you'd go to UPS, if you

339
00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.320
<v Speaker 5>go to work for them, they'll help you pay for it.

340
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Hello, take advantage. Tony and Wide are up next. It's

341
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:18.039
<v Speaker 2>hock to you tomorrow.
