WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:01.080 Good Monday morning. 2 00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:04.160 It is Kentuckyana's morning news here on News Radio eight 3 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:06.719 forty Whas Coffee and Company, Nick Coffee. 4 00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:07.080 That's me. 5 00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:10.000 The full crew is here, you Distirred John Shannon with 6 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.519 the news. John Alden's back after a nice vacation staycation, 7 00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:15.880 i should say, and of course Scott's alongside. We'll go 8 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:17.600 back to sports coming up here in about twenty minutes 9 00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:21.480 or so. But some big news from yesterday to get 10 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.280 our week started here, and that is that there is 11 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:28.679 a trade deal that has taken place that of course 12 00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:31.640 was I mean, look the tariffs, that's been a big 13 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.719 topic of conversation for quite some time now and still 14 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.280 a lot of unknown as far as overall where that 15 00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.280 ends up, where that ends up headed, but as far 16 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.799 as the deal that the United States and the European 17 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:50.439 Union came together to agree on is big. So as 18 00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:52.439 we discussed earlier with Rio Neil, there's still a lot 19 00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.679 of unknowns, but the deal includes a fifty percent tariff 20 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.159 across the board according to the European Commission Chief. And 21 00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.000 again this is this is this is good news right 22 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:03.920 when it comes to just things that you could potentially 23 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.599 expect to see from this for those maybe who don't 24 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.159 pay attention and you just will notice it whenever it 25 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.439 impacts you. We'll tell you a little bit about areas 26 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.159 that may notice it earlier than others. We'll do that 27 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.040 coming up a little bit later on. But here's President 28 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.959 Trump in regards to this big news as they've come 29 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:22.799 to a trade agreement. 30 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.000 Very importantly, they'll be investing a lot of money. But 31 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.480 the military is a big number. But that's one number. 32 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.519 We're not determining it's going to be whatever it is, 33 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.480 but they're going to be purchasing hundreds of billions of 34 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:39.159 dollars worth of military equipment. They're very important that they're 35 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:43.599 going to purchase seven hundred and fifty seven hundred and 36 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.719 fifty billion dollars worth of energy, so that's going to 37 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:52.040 be great, and six hundred billion dollars worth of investments 38 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.560 into the United States over and above what they have, 39 00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.920 and I think that basically concludes the deal. I mean, 40 00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.599 those are the factors. I don't think there are too 41 00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:02.840 many other factors. 42 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.200 So again, as far as what type of jobs, industries 43 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.199 I should say are gonna benefit from this, there's a 44 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.800 pretty good breakdown. And again it's just a projection, but 45 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:13.759 I think it's encouraging news. So we'll talk about that 46 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.520 coming up a little bit later on. One of the most 47 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.039 talked about things in the streaming world right now is 48 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.879 Adam Sandler's second Happy Gilmore movie, that, of course is 49 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:26.199 a Netflix original. And I've said this before. I'm sure 50 00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.560 you don't remember it, because why would you. It is 51 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.919 probably the movie I can recite word for word better 52 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.319 than any other. I mean, I've probably watched Happy Gilmore 53 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:37.800 more than any movie I've ever watched in my life, 54 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.039 and I'm not sure if that'll ever be topped, and 55 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:44.240 it's such a nostalgia thing for me. But think Happy Gilmore, 56 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.759 Dumb and Dumber, Tommy Boy. Those are like the three 57 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.360 comedy movies that just played on repeat for me when 58 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.599 I was young, and I could still watch them today 59 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.360 over and over and enjoy them because I'm sure everybody 60 00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.400 has movies like that that they just watched enough and 61 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.400 it's something that's special to you. So I remember having 62 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:05.680 a near panic attack knowing they were going to legitimately 63 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.080 run it back and do the entire thing all over 64 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:12.400 again with so many pieces from the original, because this 65 00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.120 isn't needed, right this isn't necessary. I'm not even really 66 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.840 sure who's asking for this. But over time, I thought 67 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.240 to myself, Okay, I trust Adam Sandler. Adam Sandler, I mean, 68 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.360 he's a smart guy. He knows that if you're gonna 69 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:31.560 do this, just make it a nice, just nostalgic situation 70 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:33.520 to where you just kind of, I mean, don't do 71 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:37.120 the same movie all over again, but maybe just you know, 72 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.680 remind us of how much we loved it, add some 73 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.000 new flavor as many many years have passed since the 74 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.319 original came out. So I started to be optimistic about 75 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:48.919 it once I found out it was going to happen, 76 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:50.560 and I'm certainly gonna watch it. But I haven't watched 77 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.159 it yet, and I thought to myself, all, okay, I'm 78 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.120 going to avoid anybody that gives any kind of like 79 00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:01.159 a recap, not even really because of spoilers, because I mean, 80 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.199 I doubt there's some like crazy storyline here that's going 81 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.759 to completely throw me off. But I just didn't want 82 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.080 to hear what people thought of it, because I wanted 83 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.439 to be able to come to my own conclusion and 84 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.840 not feel as if I was. Let me, let me 85 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.759 give an example as to what I would have expected. 86 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.040 And by the way, I've now realized there's no way 87 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.240 to avoid people talking about it, because anytime I pop 88 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.480 up in any social media platform, whether it be Facebook, Instagram, 89 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.839 TikTok x, slash, Twitter, like, one of the first things 90 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.240 that I see is somebody talking about this movie and 91 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.319 sharing thoughts, and I quickly try to scroll past it 92 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:37.279 because I don't want to see it. 93 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:38.560 But it's unavoidable. 94 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.160 But what I didn't want to see is people crushing it, 95 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.759 because then I would probably watch it and like it 96 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.319 and be like, it's just my nature to defend it 97 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.639 because I don't wanted people to say it's bad. 98 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.759 So from what I've gathered, you're you. 99 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:59.279 I've seen two pretty consistent reactions across the board. Some 100 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.800 have just said it's it's very awful, it's a disgrace, 101 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.399 should have never been done. They're so disappointed. And then 102 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:08.639 I've seen others that say it wasn't great, but it 103 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.000 was perfect for what that would have to be. You know, 104 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.160 you're not gonna make a better version of the movie. 105 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.120 You know that it's not necessary. It's just a nice 106 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.079 you know, just a nice way to bring it back 107 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.160 into modern the modern world. But I haven't seen anybody say, 108 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.879 oh wow, this was great man, what a phenomenal movie, 109 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.439 which maybe I'll be the first to watch it and 110 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:32.759 say that, because that's what I want to believe. But 111 00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.759 to be fair, like, there aren't many movies where a 112 00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:41.519 sequel is viewed as not only as good, but it's 113 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:43.800 super rare to see one that's viewed as being better 114 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.879 than the original. It happens like, I know some people 115 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.240 say that Top Gun, the remake of that is actually 116 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.279 better than the original, But I can't think of many. 117 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:54.480 Yeah, yeah, I can't think of many. 118 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.839 I can't think of many comedies where they did a 119 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.759 sequel and you felt like, oh wow, that was better 120 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.800 than the first one. I mean, it's happened. We'll talk 121 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.839 about that next because again, sometimes the sequel and if 122 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:13.759 they go even further than that, it's clearly because they 123 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:15.480 know there's a market for it. It's a money it's 124 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.480 a money thing, right. But you could have not with 125 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:20.920 a lot of these over the years, and it would 126 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:22.639 have been fine. We'll get to that and a lot more. 127 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:23.120 Stick with us. 128 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:24.800 Your next update of trapping a weather coming your way 129 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.720 right here right now on news Radio eight forty whas. 130 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.480 We are rolling along here on a Monday morning. 131 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.560 It is seven sevent seen here at Kentucky and this 132 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.160 morning news Coffee and Company NIT coffee with you here on. 133 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:36.160 News Radio eight forty. 134 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.720 Whas So when it comes to the big, the major 135 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:44.000 deal between the United States and the European Union, for 136 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.759 those that are wondering, okay, well, how will this impact 137 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:47.240 my wallet? 138 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:47.639 How will this? 139 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:52.680 How will this impact me? And when you consider the 140 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:57.000 energy sector boom, the EU's buying of seven hundred and 141 00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.480 fifty billion dollars worth of US energy. So if you 142 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.839 work in oil, gas or energy infrastructure, I mean you 143 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:07.120 can certainly expect a ripple effect of opportunity. And also 144 00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:12.079 when you consider the exports coming from America US companies, 145 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.279 they're gonna flood the European market. We're talking goods, energy services. 146 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.759 So there could be more demand, more production, and more 147 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.800 jobs here at home in the United States. If you're 148 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:23.879 in if you're in those kind of injuries or if 149 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.399 you're in those kind of industries, I should say, all right, 150 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:30.360 So back to the Happy Gilmore situation. I again, there's 151 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.560 no scenario that our technology is not listening to us, 152 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:38.920 right because I talk Happy Gilmore for that segment the 153 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:40.920 beginning of the seven o'clock hour, and sure enough, it's 154 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.040 it's now all that's popping up on anything I go to. 155 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.399 It was already doing that anyway, but I'm not sure 156 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.120 that that's timing. But when it comes to the reviews, 157 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.600 this one, this isn't this is from Rotten Tomatoes, I 158 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.160 think this is this. This puts me in a good place. 159 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.240 It's getting so so reviews, but fans don't seem to care, 160 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.439 meaning fans who just love Happy Gilmore. That makes me 161 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:04.959 feel good as to it, because if I love it 162 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.800 like I think I do, it could be subpar. And 163 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.560 I'm still gonna say, well, I enjoyed that. I appreciated 164 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:15.040 that that opportunity to really get nostalgic was there for me. 165 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.959 So anyhow, I'm gonna watch it at some point. But 166 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.959 my wife asked me last night because we got the 167 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:23.399 kids to bed a little earlier than we usually do, and. 168 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:24.399 I was too scared. 169 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:25.879 John, I was like, no, I can't do it time. 170 00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:27.879 It's just all because of the Sunday scaries too. 171 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.000 Yes, oh absolutely, yeah, you know me too. Well, that 172 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:31.560 was a big factor. Had it not been Sunday, I 173 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.440 might have been able to do it, but like, yes, 174 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.360 the Sunday scaries were creeping in to where I'm thinking 175 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.960 to myself, Okay, yeah, not tonight. I wouldn't even be 176 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.679 able to enjoy it if it was good, because I'm 177 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:43.879 you know, that Sunday. And by the way, I will 178 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:45.840 say this, the Sunday scaries kind of went away from 179 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.080 me whenever I was starting my on air shift at 180 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.559 three o'clock in the afternoon. But now that I'll wake 181 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.080 up at three o'clock in the morning to get my 182 00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:55.799 day started, Sunday is just turned into. 183 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.320 It's almost not even the weekend anymore. 184 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:02.360 Yeah, yeah, you're right, because there's there's so much and 185 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:04.960 it's more of a mental thing than anything. But yeah, 186 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.639 just knowing when I when I get out of here 187 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:09.639 on Fridays and I've got all day Saturday, I'm not 188 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.159 thinking about what I got to do the next day. Well, 189 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.000 now I've got to be super mindful all day Sunday. 190 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.200 Not only do I have to get up early and 191 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.080 start the week, but I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna 192 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.159 be recovering from the weekend. And I don't mean because 193 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.639 I'm outraging partying like some you know, wild man, It's 194 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:27.240 just I don't get up at three o'clock in the 195 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.960 morning on the weekends.

So John 217 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:25.759 Alden is back with us, by the way, which I know, 218 00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:27.399 that's why you're here. He's the company man. 219 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:27.759 He's back. 220 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.919 We missed him and we're excited he's here. And this 221 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.840 this is not something you can blame John for. But 222 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.320 you're you're you're in the minority seemingly as far as 223 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:39.000 having children. 224 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:40.480 You are you're a new father. 225 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.000 You've got a newborn baby. Which when is the newborn 226 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.399 stage over? Because i've heard eight weeks. Okay, so she's passed, 227 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.799 she's past that. But what is this? This is this 228 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:49.879 just baby stage? 229 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:50.360 Is? 230 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.600 It's certainly not toddler and I think baby goes up 231 00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:55.559 until they're a year old or something like that. I 232 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:55.919 don't know. 233 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.559 So you are, you're a new parent and people this 234 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:02.159 day in or just not having kids the way that 235 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:05.399 they used to. And there is a lot of factors 236 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.720 that go into that, probably more than we even realize. 237 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:12.240 But the US fertility rate falls to an all time 238 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:18.320 low in twenty twenty four, So that number, again, i'd 239 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.279 be curious if you just were to do a rapid 240 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.360 fire man on the street kind of thing. You just 241 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.879 walk up to somebody, Hey, the US fertility rate has 242 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:30.000 fallen to an all time low. 243 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:30.720 Why do you think that is? 244 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:32.399 I wanted the first thing that would come to mind 245 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:33.919 For a lot of people, I guess it probably depends 246 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:39.080 on your situation, maybe your beliefs. Some would blame the economy, 247 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:42.440 some would blame I mean again, I'm sure everybody has 248 00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:47.720 their own opinion. But we've seen a real drop in 249 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:51.559 this over I guess, like really two decades down, yeah, 250 00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:53.679 I mean nearly two decades. This has been a trend 251 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.240 as declining birth rates. It's been all age groups, by 252 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.120 the way, twenty twenty four, the fertility rate is now 253 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.960 at one point five nine nine children per women, which 254 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.360 is well below the replacement rate of two point one 255 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:14.159 So US fertility peaked in two thousand and seven, then 256 00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:19.240 steadily declined. There was a brief uptick in twenty twenty four, 257 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.960 but it didn't reverse the trend of So again, I 258 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:25.399 just again, are there are countless factors as to why 259 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:30.080 there aren't as many kids being born today as there 260 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.360 was ten years ago, twenty years ago, thirty years ago. 261 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.799 But just take out, like I just think society take away. 262 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.720 I mean, I just think now I got I got 263 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:45.519 married at a young age. I feel like even for 264 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.679 that time I got married in twenty and eleven, and 265 00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:51.559 that time I was just I was just about twenty 266 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.080 two up, I think was how old I was at 267 00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:56.080 that time. I think that's I think that's right something 268 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.240 around that age. And I felt like even then that 269 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:01.759 was young to get me. But now I feel like 270 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.200 that would be really rare to see two people twenty 271 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.279 to twenty three getting married like my wife and I. 272 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:09.840 You got married at twenty two back in twenty twenty. 273 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.279 You're an old soul and you had your first child 274 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:13.039 at what twenty seven? 275 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:14.919 Twenty seven? So did I? I was twenty seven s 276 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:15.799 yeah exactly. 277 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.159 So so you know, for me, I just it's not 278 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:24.559 even about any specific factor that I just think you 279 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.759 can just say, well this is why cost or you know. 280 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:33.720 I mean, I'm trying to think of if I wouldn't 281 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.399 ask somebody that I know, like, hey, why haven't you 282 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:35.919 had kids yet? 283 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.120 Like I know people that have tried to have children. 284 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.000 Unfortunately they've just found out along the way that it's 285 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:42.399 not going to be as easy for them, and there's 286 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:44.000 a lot of things they have options to do, but 287 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:46.120 in some of those things are just not doable depending 288 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.720 upon cost and just maybe what would come with it, 289 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:51.480 because you know, you can try a lot of options 290 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:55.080 as far as using medical science to help you have 291 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.919 a kid, but some of those things don't really guarantee 292 00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:59.399 that it actually is ever going to work, and that 293 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.600 could be something that you just you sign up for 294 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:04.559 potentially being heartbroken and devastated to go through that process. 295 00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:09.840 So I just I think a lot of people fresh 296 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.759 out of college or just in that age range, I 297 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:14.600 don't want to act like they're all like childish and 298 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:16.679 immature and they're not ready to grow up yet. They 299 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.639 just don't seem to be any real hurry to kind 300 00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:22.879 of just open that door of okay, well here we go, now, 301 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:25.759 get married, probably start a family soon, and just kind 302 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:27.519 of start that phase of my life. 303 00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:27.879 And good. 304 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:29.559 More people do whatever the hell they want. I mean, 305 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.639 it doesn't impact me by any means. But when I 306 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:36.639 hear that money is a factor and just how expensive 307 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:39.159 everything is right now in the economy and where it is, 308 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.519 and man, I can tell you certainly that childcare is 309 00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:45.879 very expensive. Maybe this is just me and my own world. 310 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:51.000 But I personally, when we had both our kids, we 311 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:55.440 were trying and I've got a lot of friends. In fact, 312 00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:57.519 our social get together is with our friends is really 313 00:14:57.559 --> 00:14:59.480 just all of our kids getting together. I mean, and 314 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.559 I'm very lucky that the vast majority of the friends 315 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:04.120 that I grew up with, people that I've known for 316 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:06.559 over thirty years, still close with a lot of them, 317 00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.080 and our friends O our kids are around the same 318 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.600 age and their friends. But I don't ever remember any 319 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:14.240 of us ever thinking we were gonna have another kid, 320 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.360 but we decided to wait because of how expensive things are. 321 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.320 And that's not to act like it's not a real issue. 322 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:18.639 It is. 323 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:21.519 But I think when you decide to be a parent 324 00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:23.440 for the first time or the second or third time, 325 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.559 I just you need to be responsible and know if 326 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:28.320 you can afford to take care of a human being 327 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.399 or not. I don't act likely it doesn't matter at all. 328 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:34.080 But that's never been like if we're deciding, hey, should 329 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:35.720 we have another should we try now? 330 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:40.600 I just I just have never thought, Okay, well, what's 331 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:41.960 the price going to be? How much is it going 332 00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:43.120 to cost me to be a dad? 333 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.879 And I hate that I'm sounding like I'm mocking it, 334 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.720 because I guess technically I am, and people should be 335 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:51.039 more responsible. I'm sure there's many people that should not 336 00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:53.960 have brought children into the world, and they did. In fact, 337 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.480 I know that to be the case, but I don't know. 338 00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.080 Just the monetary aspect of it is just something and 339 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.039 I've never once thought about, because you know, maybe this 340 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:05.360 just speaks to me not realizing how fortunate I am. 341 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:07.600 But there's no cost, Like whatever I got to do 342 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:08.759 for my kid, I got to do for my kid. 343 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:10.600 If it puts me in a million dollars a debt 344 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.919 or whatever it may be, that's just life, and that 345 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:14.960 would be that would not be something that I would 346 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.240 that I would want to do by any means, But 347 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:19.519 it wouldn't even be a decision. It would just be done, 348 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.399 because that's that's being a parent. But anyways, nobody's having 349 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.480 nobody's having kids anymore. People still having sex though, that's 350 00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:32.360 that's for sure. Sex not down, but children not happening 351 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.080 as much. All right, let's get to an update of 352 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.320 the traffic in the weather. We'll keep this thing rolling along. 353 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.759 It is Kentucky and this Morning News Coffee and Company 354 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:42.279 Nick Coffee with you here on News Radio eight forty whas. 355 00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:44.759 So we've talked. 356 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:49.159 About the Happy Gilmore sequel that was released on to 357 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:50.240 Netflix on Friday. 358 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:51.039 I've yet to watch it. 359 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.240 But when it comes to movies that decided to run 360 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:57.120 it back for a sequel or do some version of 361 00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:01.360 just a remake, there have been many that were not necessary, 362 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.960 and there have been some that were viewed as I 363 00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:07.799 guess the success and success can be determined differently. 364 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:09.680 If if you hated it. 365 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.000 But yet those who put it together made billions at 366 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:14.799 the box office, then that's the success to them. But 367 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.000 when I think of movie like Bad Boys Too with 368 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:20.839 Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. The original came out in 369 00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:24.079 nineteen ninety five, Bad Boys two came out and maybe 370 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:27.640 ten years later, and I remember thinking, Okay, this one 371 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:29.759 was like you could have not given me the first one, 372 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:31.240 And if this was just the only one it was 373 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:35.000 a standalone, I would have said it was great, and 374 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:37.799 not that the first one was bad. But when it 375 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.160 comes to sci fi and action, I think you've got 376 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.759 many that are competing with the original, or some would 377 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.079 say maybe even better, like The Dark Knight, that of 378 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.680 course was a big hit, that was a sequel to 379 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:56.079 Batman begins. Terminator two. That's a little before my time, 380 00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.720 but that was viewed to be the one that really 381 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:02.759 elevated the brand Terminator. But when it comes to comedy, 382 00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:07.680 I kind of feel like it's harder to do. But 383 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:12.519 here are some examples of remakes and comedy that did 384 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:16.160 not do well. The Hangover Part two and Part three. 385 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:19.880 They kind of tried the same thing and it was 386 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:23.599 popular to an extent, but nowhere near the original. And 387 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.720 I will say this, I think the second and the 388 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:28.880 third are worth watching. They're fine, but I will say 389 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.599 just my opinion only it does keep me from realizing 390 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.400 how good the first one was. The first one didn't 391 00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.400 get worse because they made the second and the third. 392 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:42.119 But sometimes less is more, and I think that's it. 393 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:43.839 Really That to me is a good example of that. 394 00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:45.680 And then this one, I got to be honest, I 395 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:47.480 didn't finish it because just because it didn't hook me. 396 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:49.759 It was an interesting it just didn't do it for me. 397 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:54.200 It was Anchorman two. Anchorman the original a classic and 398 00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:59.200 really stupid but really stupid kid be funny, but that 399 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:03.519 one just didn't do it for me. Like for example, 400 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:08.799 Step Brothers. Really stupid movie, but really funny. Maybe that's 401 00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:11.000
