1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.879
<v Speaker 1>If you are a student abroad that has had dreams

2
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:08.279
<v Speaker 1>of studying in the United States, it could be your

3
00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>social media, your tweets that are a factor and if

4
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>you if you if you can get a student visa

5
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>or not. It is six oh five here Kazucky has

6
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>morning news on news radio eight forty whas Nick Coffee

7
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.199
<v Speaker 1>with you. We've got the full crew here. You just

8
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>heard John Shannon with his newscast. We'll have sports coming

9
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:26.800
<v Speaker 1>your way here shortly, and of course John Alden alongside.

10
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 1>So yes, your your tweets could tank your dreams of

11
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>studying in the United States. And I don't I don't

12
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>think that that's a controversial thing by any means, but

13
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.039
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe others see it see it differently. So what

14
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.759
<v Speaker 1>we now know is that the State Department they announced

15
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>that student visa applications must make their so those who apply,

16
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.119
<v Speaker 1>and I guess throughout the application process, you must make

17
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 1>your social media accounts public for review with the US

18
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 1>Counselor Office scan. They're they're looking for probably anything and everything.

19
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.399
<v Speaker 1>But I guess what the realcus here is any hostility

20
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>toward America that has been expressed on your social media accounts.

21
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>So as visa processing restarts after a trump Ara pause.

22
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 1>This this is a new role, and of course it's

23
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>raising some eyebrows. And I don't think that that's something

24
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>that like you shouldn't do. I mean, I guess it

25
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:24.079
<v Speaker 1>comes down to, uh, you know, yeah, I mean, maybe

26
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:26.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm wrong here. I'm just trying to think through what

27
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:32.719
<v Speaker 1>would be what would make this something that is crossing

28
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.040
<v Speaker 1>the line as far as you vetting, vetting a potential

29
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>student who is coming here from another country, especially considering

30
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:43.079
<v Speaker 1>the current climate across the world. So I know there

31
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 1>are many of you listening right now that has had

32
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 1>a moment. Maybe it's once, maybe it's every now and

33
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>then where you realize just sort of how online we

34
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>are now with social media. Everything seems to be now

35
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>powered by the World Wide Web. We get most of

36
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>our information now from social media, and that's a scary

37
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.439
<v Speaker 1>thing because a lot of things you see on social

38
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 1>media is not real, and we have a lot of

39
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 1>people who believe it. So maybe you know you've had

40
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 1>those moments where you realize, Man, I'm kind of glad

41
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>this wasn't a thing when I was younger, for a

42
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 1>variety of reasons. One of those reasons maybe your younger

43
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:26.439
<v Speaker 1>self might have expressed things without awareness of what it

44
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>could do to your long term on social media. Maybe

45
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 1>you know you, maybe you were out doing something and

46
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, just being a kid. Maybe in your mind

47
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>at the time it's harmless. But if that took place

48
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>more so in the modern era, you know what, people

49
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:43.599
<v Speaker 1>would have had their phones out and they might have

50
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 1>been inclined to start videoing you if you were doing

51
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 1>something that they felt like might get some attention on

52
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 1>social media. I mean, this isn't new because I think

53
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 1>there are people on the younger side that are professionals

54
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>that have graduated college, maybe they already have started a

55
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>family that when they were younger, social media was a

56
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 1>thing Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. I mean, these these platforms certainly

57
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>aren't new. But for me whenever I was when I

58
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>was a kid, and I mean a young young kid,

59
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.759
<v Speaker 1>the Internet was brand new. It was it was dial up,

60
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>and I felt like, as somebody who doesn't have a

61
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>whole lot of patience, it really wasn't worth getting on

62
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 1>the Internet because of how long it took to do anything. Now,

63
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know any different because I'd never experienced past

64
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>internet before. Because it didn't exist at that time. But yes,

65
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 1>if you are somebody abroad that wants to apply for

66
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>a student visa to come to the United States, you

67
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>were going to be required to make your social media

68
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>public and they'll monitor anything and everything. And that has

69
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.159
<v Speaker 1>to be a little bit of a frightening thing, maybe

70
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 1>a big time frightening thing, because even if you feel

71
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 1>pretty good about yeah, there's nothing that they would they

72
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>would find. There's nothing that that would in any way

73
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>show that I have any hostility towards America. But I

74
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 1>think even if you were just specifically looking for that alone,

75
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's human nature to maybe seeing a opinion

76
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>that is shared even see let's just say a tweet

77
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't sent out by the person, but they liked it,

78
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>meaning that they may potentially be endorsing or supporting somebody

79
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 1>that said something controversial or maybe had hostility towards America.

80
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like if you've never had any awareness of it,

81
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 1>and you've been active and online on social media for

82
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 1>a big part of your life, I feel like it

83
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>would almost be impossible to truly know if there's anything

84
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.399
<v Speaker 1>out there that may in fact be a red flag.

85
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 1>And now again that's subjective what's a red flag to

86
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.839
<v Speaker 1>some may not be a red flag at all to others.

87
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>But I know whenever a lot of my era, my friends,

88
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.279
<v Speaker 1>once college wrapped up and everybody was trying to you know,

89
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 1>grow up and start their their adult lives. I know

90
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 1>a lot of a lot of my you know, for

91
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 1>what I do, I've got to be very much online.

92
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.079
<v Speaker 1>But I know a lot of my friends they decided

93
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>to make everything very private on any social media platform

94
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.959
<v Speaker 1>just because it isn't worth the risk of something just

95
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 1>being it could just be not that you're a bad person,

96
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>but like they could just see something within your social

97
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:09.879
<v Speaker 1>media portfolio different platforms that just maybe not a red flag,

98
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 1>but they just it turns them off and that could

99
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>keep them from hiring you. So I'm sure there's many

100
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.160
<v Speaker 1>of you listening that are happy that there's no receipts

101
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:21.079
<v Speaker 1>from when you were maybe young and immature and didn't

102
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.920
<v Speaker 1>have the awareness of you know, what you put out

103
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>there and how it could impact you. All Right, we've

104
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 1>got an update of traffic and weather coming your way

105
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.959
<v Speaker 1>right here on Who's Radio eight forty WHS. Just as

106
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.279
<v Speaker 1>soon as it seemed as if we were going to

107
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>get some real regulation within college athletics, and it wouldn't

108
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 1>be such a mess with lawsuits and nobody really knowing

109
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 1>what the rules are. And if you feel like you

110
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.600
<v Speaker 1>might have violated a NC DOUBLEA bylaw, you just hire

111
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.639
<v Speaker 1>a lawyer and you win. I mean, it's been it's

112
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.959
<v Speaker 1>been a real mess. And the House settlement and the

113
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:56.199
<v Speaker 1>recent decision for the NC DOUBLEA to hand over the

114
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 1>enforcement power, they are now letting these schools handle it themselves,

115
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.199
<v Speaker 1>the power for commissioners, the powerful conferences, I should say,

116
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>they're now the ones who are going to determine if

117
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>everybody's playing by the rules. And with that, the agreement

118
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.240
<v Speaker 1>was at least the hope was that everybody would agree, hey,

119
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:17.920
<v Speaker 1>let's just stop suing, because when it comes down to it,

120
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>to get college athletics cleaned up and regulated, there's certain

121
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 1>things that they're going to tell you you need to

122
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.160
<v Speaker 1>to not do right, things that you know bylaws. Right,

123
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.879
<v Speaker 1>there's got to be rules, there's got to be guardrails essentially,

124
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.720
<v Speaker 1>But I think everybody realizes now because of what's played

125
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.600
<v Speaker 1>out in recent years, that they don't really have a

126
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:37.879
<v Speaker 1>right to tell you that you can't do certain things.

127
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>And if you hire a lawyer and you take them

128
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>to court, you have a good chance of winning. And

129
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.759
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was going away, but maybe not. It

130
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.040
<v Speaker 1>is six seventeen here Knentuckutive Morning News with Nick Coffee

131
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 1>on News Radio eight forty whas we'll get a quick

132
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 1>update here in a couple of minutes on traffic and weather.

133
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Also another update on sports. But yesterday it was Michigan's

134
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>House bill for six four to three that was introduced

135
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:59.959
<v Speaker 1>by a state representative who also is a former Michigan

136
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 1>State football player, Joe Tate. He co sponsors this this

137
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.439
<v Speaker 1>he has co sponsors on this bill and it's and

138
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.120
<v Speaker 1>it's aimed to curb the n C double A oversight

139
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:14.839
<v Speaker 1>of NIL deals. So what this does is it would

140
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.160
<v Speaker 1>prohibit these Michigan schools, Michigan, Michigan State, and other Division

141
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.959
<v Speaker 1>one schools I suppose that are in Michigan from reporting

142
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 1>n I nil deals to the n C double A.

143
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:28.439
<v Speaker 1>It's College Sports Commission and a new NIL clearinghouse. So

144
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.079
<v Speaker 1>again I thought it was a step in the right

145
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.879
<v Speaker 1>direction that that there would be an agreement, and it

146
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 1>wasn't just an agreement. I think that they're trying to

147
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>put a document out there to have every school agree

148
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.759
<v Speaker 1>to sign that says, if you want to continue to

149
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>be a part of the big boy leagues, the power

150
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>for and get those big revenue checks every year from

151
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.279
<v Speaker 1>your media rights deal, you need to sign this and

152
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 1>you agree that you will, you will let us enforce

153
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>rules and not hire a lawyer and fight it because

154
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.079
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to play by the rules. And this

155
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:02.399
<v Speaker 1>is the first sign that clearly not everybody is on

156
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.199
<v Speaker 1>the same page. And not to nerd out too much

157
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.920
<v Speaker 1>on this, but when it comes to players getting paid,

158
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.680
<v Speaker 1>this is a big change. Right. We know that there's

159
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>revenue sharing that's going to take place, but that's essentially

160
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 1>going to serve as a stipend for college athletes, so

161
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna get paid by the school. But it isn't

162
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>necessarily based off your performance. It's just each sport has

163
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:23.120
<v Speaker 1>a pool of money and it's it's being split up.

164
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.079
<v Speaker 1>So you can still get NIL deals, but you have

165
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:29.480
<v Speaker 1>to go to a new clearinghouse, the NIL clearinghouse, and

166
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.519
<v Speaker 1>show that this is legitimately name image and likeness. We

167
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 1>just call it name image and likeness. But the majority

168
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 1>of the money these college athletes have made it hasn't

169
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.759
<v Speaker 1>been because they're they're doing work for a company. They're

170
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.000
<v Speaker 1>they're being bought and that's just how it is. So

171
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.759
<v Speaker 1>this would prohibit the Michigan schools from having to disclose

172
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.759
<v Speaker 1>the details of these nil deals so that this clearing

173
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.919
<v Speaker 1>house could see if it's legit or not. And again,

174
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.720
<v Speaker 1>what what was so obvious for so long, but now

175
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.039
<v Speaker 1>it's really playing out, is that what the nsabah I

176
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>had to do as far as there's their archaic amateurism model,

177
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it wasn't legal and that's why they have

178
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>a billion dollar settlement going out to former athletes. And

179
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 1>now there's revenue sharing because the NCAA just said, hey,

180
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:16.360
<v Speaker 1>do this, do that, this is our rules. You don't

181
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.399
<v Speaker 1>like to deal with it. But from a legal standpoint,

182
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.960
<v Speaker 1>clearly a judge told them, yeah, what you've been doing forever,

183
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.399
<v Speaker 1>since the beginning of time, since your existence, that's not legal.

184
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:31.399
<v Speaker 1>So more lawsuits and I don't see college sports ever

185
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.919
<v Speaker 1>being what it once was. But I just wanted to

186
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>not be so chaotic. But we'll see, all right, We

187
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.799
<v Speaker 1>got an update of trafficking weather. Also another update of

188
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>sport's coming your way right here right now. It's Kasuckyana

189
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:42.159
<v Speaker 1>It's Moring News with Nick Coffee on News Radio eight

190
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:47.279
<v Speaker 1>forty whs. Thank you, John. It is six thirty five

191
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.399
<v Speaker 1>here Kentucky and it's Morning News with Nick Coffee on

192
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:53.960
<v Speaker 1>news Radio eight forty whas. Have you ever wondered what

193
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:59.039
<v Speaker 1>old school skills from the Boomer era could still save

194
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.320
<v Speaker 1>you time, money, or stress today? And let me clarify

195
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.639
<v Speaker 1>because I had to look this up. When I hear boomer,

196
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:06.799
<v Speaker 1>I just think of somebody that is that is on

197
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:11.039
<v Speaker 1>the older side and according to the Internet, and it

198
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.159
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be on the Internet if it wasn't true, right, Uh,

199
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Boomer The Boomer era is essentially those born between like

200
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:22.399
<v Speaker 1>nineteen forty five and nineteen sixty five. So the approximate

201
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.559
<v Speaker 1>age of boomers is sixty one to seventy nine. So

202
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't use the I don't use the term boomer

203
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:30.600
<v Speaker 1>as like an insult, but that's that's you know, if

204
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you hear boomer, that's that's the age range people are

205
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about. So shout out to all of our our

206
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.679
<v Speaker 1>our boomers out there, because they apparently they didn't you know,

207
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:41.200
<v Speaker 1>when they were younger, they didn't have they didn't have

208
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:45.120
<v Speaker 1>technology to rely upon quite like we do, and apparently

209
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.600
<v Speaker 1>there's some things that even now as we as we

210
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>are here in the New World twenty twenty five, there

211
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.799
<v Speaker 1>are some things, according to Bold dot com that are

212
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:59.279
<v Speaker 1>labeled Boomer inspired life skills that remain surprisingly useful to

213
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:03.960
<v Speaker 1>this day. And one of these is spot on Budgeting

214
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.960
<v Speaker 1>with Cash. Says here that budgeting with cash. Cash will

215
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.639
<v Speaker 1>help you control spending by making transactions tangible, useful, financial

216
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.240
<v Speaker 1>useful for financial discipline, which is true. I mean, if

217
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.440
<v Speaker 1>you don't swipe your debit card and you're not writing checks,

218
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>which checks seems so forty years ago, but I guess

219
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.120
<v Speaker 1>there are still some people that write personal checks. But

220
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.240
<v Speaker 1>if you just have cash in your wallet and you

221
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 1>just know, hey, I'm not swiping the card for anything

222
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:32.519
<v Speaker 1>this week, I have already taken out X amount of money,

223
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:34.840
<v Speaker 1>and I just checked my wallet to see what I

224
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:37.320
<v Speaker 1>have there, and I'll know that unless I've got some

225
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.039
<v Speaker 1>things automatically coming out of the account, then the account

226
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 1>should stay should stay where it is. Yeah, I think

227
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.440
<v Speaker 1>budgeting would be easier if you were just relying specifically

228
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 1>on cash. Although there are some instances where you can't

229
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:51.840
<v Speaker 1>pay cash. That's becoming more common right cash less situations

230
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.759
<v Speaker 1>that are out there. This one is this one is

231
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:59.480
<v Speaker 1>this one. I believe we could be in the future

232
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.039
<v Speaker 1>one hundred years from now and this will still hold

233
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:05.960
<v Speaker 1>up ironing clothes because there's a lot of different ways

234
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:09.200
<v Speaker 1>in which you can you can keep your clothes from

235
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.039
<v Speaker 1>being wrinkled. I mean, nowadays, with the new technology, even

236
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:15.679
<v Speaker 1>with washer and dryers, you really don't need an iron.

237
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:19.799
<v Speaker 1>But if you want your your clothes to be as

238
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:26.559
<v Speaker 1>as unwrinkly as possible and as polished and professional, there's

239
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.799
<v Speaker 1>no there'll never be I'm convinced there's never going to

240
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:30.159
<v Speaker 1>be a way better to do it than an old

241
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:34.519
<v Speaker 1>fashioned iron and an ironing board. So yeah, I mean

242
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.919
<v Speaker 1>I realized that, you know, there's some spray that you

243
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.600
<v Speaker 1>can get, and I'm sure there's different products out there

244
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:42.879
<v Speaker 1>to where you spray it a little bit, you throw

245
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:45.960
<v Speaker 1>it in the dryer to fluff, and you hope that

246
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>whatever this substance is can can help get some wrinkles out.

247
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.320
<v Speaker 1>And it's effective to an extent, but not more effective

248
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.600
<v Speaker 1>than the old school ironing board. Also, I learned how

249
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>to use an iron for the first time a couple

250
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>of years ago because I realized if I wanted to

251
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.320
<v Speaker 1>get this this suit that I had to wear looking

252
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:06.080
<v Speaker 1>better than it was the only the only option I

253
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.039
<v Speaker 1>had at that point that I that I hadn't tried

254
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:10.840
<v Speaker 1>yet wasn't iron, and I burned myself, which of course

255
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:12.679
<v Speaker 1>is a memory you don't forget. But it was worth

256
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.200
<v Speaker 1>it because now I know how to use an iron

257
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.519
<v Speaker 1>and I will rely on that more than anything when

258
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.080
<v Speaker 1>it comes to knowing I got to get some wrinkles

259
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:21.399
<v Speaker 1>out of my clothes. Uh, this one, I get it,

260
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.200
<v Speaker 1>but I can't. I can't tell you the last time

261
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I received one, or that I put one together myself.

262
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:29.000
<v Speaker 1>But a handwritten letter says here that it adds a

263
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>personal touch to communication, strengthening relationships. You know, I never

264
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:36.519
<v Speaker 1>think about writing a handwritten letter, And I take that back.

265
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:39.039
<v Speaker 1>I did get a hand a handwritten letter within the

266
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.519
<v Speaker 1>last year or so, and it did add a It

267
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.399
<v Speaker 1>did add some personal touch to it, and I believe

268
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.399
<v Speaker 1>the person who gave me the letter knew that. And

269
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.679
<v Speaker 1>because it's not a text message, because it's not an

270
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:55.519
<v Speaker 1>email or just a conversation, because of the meaning that

271
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.960
<v Speaker 1>that you know, I guess, because of the the extra

272
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:01.519
<v Speaker 1>step and actually sitting down and writing it. And this

273
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.759
<v Speaker 1>wasn't somebody who can't use a computer or a text message,

274
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.919
<v Speaker 1>but I think they wanted to for effect, you know,

275
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>give me something that I could hold in my hand

276
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.159
<v Speaker 1>and read, and it was written by them. Like now,

277
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I like if it's on my desk at my house

278
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's put away, But like if I ever like

279
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:18.559
<v Speaker 1>start to clean up and get rid of stuff and

280
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.519
<v Speaker 1>just declutter, get rid of some junk, like, I don't

281
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.240
<v Speaker 1>think I'll ever be able to throw that away because

282
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:25.559
<v Speaker 1>it's the handwritten letter. If it's in text message or

283
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>an email, you know, out of sight, out of mind. John,

284
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>when's the last time you received or wrote a handwritten

285
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.879
<v Speaker 1>letter yourself? Ever? Maybe honestly, I wou wouldn't be able

286
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to tell you. Yeah, I mean you probably have. I

287
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>mean it's I would have guessed for an assignment back

288
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.399
<v Speaker 1>in high school something like that, Like that's yeah, schooling

289
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>is the last time I actually sat down and really

290
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:49.759
<v Speaker 1>wrote a lot. But even at that time, in the

291
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>college years, college age, it was more so using a computer.

292
00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:56.000
<v Speaker 1>The last time I wrote a letter, like a legitimate letter,

293
00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.919
<v Speaker 1>it's probably when I was passing notes in class, no joke.

294
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that can go a long way. So good

295
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>stuff there, So shout out to the boomers, you guys

296
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.679
<v Speaker 1>inspired some things that again still very much useful and

297
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:10.279
<v Speaker 1>impactful today. And I feel like when I say boomer,

298
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:14.200
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like I'm using as in a derogatory way,

299
00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:16.960
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not. I promise I'm not. All right, let's

300
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:18.399
<v Speaker 1>get an update of traffic and weather right here on

301
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.480
<v Speaker 1>news Radio eight forty whas for those of us that

302
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 1>spend way too much time scrolling on social media platforms

303
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>like Instagram with the reels and Facebook reels, TikTok that

304
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.039
<v Speaker 1>kind of stuff. For me, when I see a video

305
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:38.879
<v Speaker 1>of that is described as somebody losing their mind or

306
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:44.679
<v Speaker 1>nearly getting arrested or getting arrested at an airport, I

307
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.600
<v Speaker 1>can't seem to turn away. I can't seem to turn away.

308
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:49.120
<v Speaker 1>And there's a new one that I want to get

309
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>to here in just a second. But it is six

310
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:52.200
<v Speaker 1>forty seven here Kentucky, and it's morning News with Nick

311
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.879
<v Speaker 1>Coffee on News Radio eight forty whas, So I guess

312
00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you the latest as far as this specific story,

313
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's become not a huge story nationally, but these

314
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:04.279
<v Speaker 1>kind of things do get a lot of attention. But

315
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.159
<v Speaker 1>there was a woman who was at the LaGuardia Airport

316
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and she ended up being arrested for an alcohol fueled

317
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:16.960
<v Speaker 1>outburst on a Southwest Airlines flight that was going to

318
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:21.799
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City. She was intoxicated and assaulted a female passenger

319
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:26.080
<v Speaker 1>over seat space that was the dispute, grabbed someone's hair,

320
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:31.039
<v Speaker 1>was spitting, kicking and hurling, body shaming, insults, and of

321
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:33.279
<v Speaker 1>course a lot of this was caught on video and

322
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:36.039
<v Speaker 1>has since gone viral. But port authority police arrested this

323
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:39.759
<v Speaker 1>woman for aggravated assault and she was removed in handcuffs

324
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.399
<v Speaker 1>from the flight and evaluated at a hospital and taken

325
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:46.039
<v Speaker 1>into custody. So for me, you know, this isn't good stuff, right,

326
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:50.519
<v Speaker 1>This isn't behavior anybody would condone. But I'm fascinated by

327
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:54.000
<v Speaker 1>airport behavior. In fact, I'm fascinated by airports. Airports are

328
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.639
<v Speaker 1>a unique world. It's almost as if you're in an

329
00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:01.240
<v Speaker 1>alternative You're in like an alternative world when trapped via airline,

330
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.400
<v Speaker 1>because in a rather short amount of time, you could

331
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.519
<v Speaker 1>almost magically be in another part of the world, especially

332
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.079
<v Speaker 1>if you don't fly that often. You know, you realize Hey,

333
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:13.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm hundreds of miles away and that flight was an

334
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:17.359
<v Speaker 1>hour and a half, So that just makes it almost

335
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.240
<v Speaker 1>seem not real, especially again if you're somebody that doesn't

336
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:23.079
<v Speaker 1>fly that often. Also, with airports, you have no control.

337
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:25.839
<v Speaker 1>I can't think of a more helpless place in the

338
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>world than an airport. That's clearly an exaggeration, but not

339
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:32.440
<v Speaker 1>by much. So, like I believe those factors that I

340
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:35.559
<v Speaker 1>just mentioned combined with alcohol that is at airport bars.

341
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:37.599
<v Speaker 1>I love an airport beer. It's my number one beer

342
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:39.599
<v Speaker 1>on my top beer list. But you have to do

343
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.519
<v Speaker 1>it responsibly. But you throw in all those factors and

344
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:47.400
<v Speaker 1>then booze. It's led to some insanely wild scenes at

345
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:51.720
<v Speaker 1>airports across the country for many years now. People become unhinged,

346
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:54.880
<v Speaker 1>showing a side of themselves that they didn't know existed

347
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:59.839
<v Speaker 1>due to airlines maybe delaying a flight, canceling flights and

348
00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:02.160
<v Speaker 1>just telling you to deal with it. What do you

349
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.880
<v Speaker 1>mean my flight is canceled and the next available flight

350
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.680
<v Speaker 1>is in three days. Yeah, that's the best we can do.

351
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Have a good day. Here's a five dollars coupon for

352
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the best Western ten miles away. We'll see if we

353
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:15.559
<v Speaker 1>can get a shuttle. So like all these factors combined

354
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:20.480
<v Speaker 1>bring out a version of people that they simply won't

355
00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:23.240
<v Speaker 1>believe is really them when they sober up and then

356
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:27.000
<v Speaker 1>see the video of their outburst that has gone viral

357
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.559
<v Speaker 1>with millions of views. And I'm sure some of the

358
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.319
<v Speaker 1>people who end up committing crimes getting held accountable and

359
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:35.759
<v Speaker 1>really showing their rear end at an airport and then

360
00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:38.119
<v Speaker 1>he goes viral. Maybe some of those people are in

361
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.119
<v Speaker 1>fact exactly who they show us they are in those instances.

362
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:43.799
<v Speaker 1>But there's just something about an airport that I think

363
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:48.039
<v Speaker 1>because of all those factors, the helplessness, having no control,

364
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.839
<v Speaker 1>booze and you're gonna you're just gonna have to deal

365
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:55.839
<v Speaker 1>with whatever they tell you. And also I get it

366
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:57.839
<v Speaker 1>they probably do with a lot of rude people on

367
00:18:57.880 --> 00:18:59.680
<v Speaker 1>a daily basis. I would never try to put myself

368
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:03.160
<v Speaker 1>in there's use because I can't. But you know they're

369
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.359
<v Speaker 1>also not as you know, there's not a whole lot

370
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:09.000
<v Speaker 1>ill I shouldn't. I'm not gonna step out of line here,

371
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:11.319
<v Speaker 1>but I've had good and bad experiences with folks who

372
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:13.880
<v Speaker 1>work for airlines, work for just work at the airport.

373
00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>But again, I'm sure they've they've got some stories that

374
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:18.759
<v Speaker 1>would make it a little more sense as to why

375
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.599
<v Speaker 1>they're maybe not always super friendly. All right, let's get

376
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:24.599
<v Speaker 1>an update of traffic and weather. Also another update of

377
00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>sport's coming your way here in just a moment on

378
