Speaker 3: Thank you, John. That's right.
Speaker 1: I'm the new guy Nick Coffee here with you Kentucky
Speaker 1: and this morning news on news Radio eight forty whas
Speaker 1: seven oh five here on a Monday morning. And what
Speaker 1: I was not expecting. Maybe I should have just expected
Speaker 1: some type of perk that I didn't know about.
Speaker 3: I get to wave at people.
Speaker 1: There's a window here I'm used to and you know this,
Speaker 1: you know this, this studio really well, Scott the cave
Speaker 1: in the back studio B.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no window. It could be.
Speaker 1: And there have been days where I'm finishing. I was
Speaker 1: finishing my sports show in the afternoon talking about, oh
Speaker 1: it's still a beautiful day. In three hours, the weather's
Speaker 1: changed quite a bit. We could we could have had
Speaker 1: sunny skies at two pm and at six pm, and
Speaker 1: I'm when I'm wrapping it up, we could have terrible weathers.
Speaker 1: So now I can actually see outside, but seeing folks
Speaker 1: walk by and wave and it's a nice way to
Speaker 1: start your morning saying hello to folks. And there's a
Speaker 1: sign here on this on this glass that is I
Speaker 1: don't know when it was left, but it was clearly
Speaker 1: left for Tony Cruz who retired, which has has led
Speaker 1: to to me here and him not, but it says
Speaker 1: thank you, we will miss you.
Speaker 3: May God be with you.
Speaker 1: So Tony retired, and I hope he's already off to
Speaker 1: a good start to his retirement and enjoying himself. And
Speaker 1: Scott Johnny asked me earlier what I think Tony Cruz
Speaker 1: is doing right now. This was earlier in the show,
Speaker 1: and I hadn't really given him much thought, and I
Speaker 1: don't know. I would hope that he's sleeping and taking
Speaker 1: advantage of the fact that he doesn't have to get
Speaker 1: up as early as he did for many, many years.
Speaker 1: But then I thought, as I'm sitting here in this
Speaker 1: chair and there's this big window to my left here
Speaker 1: at four Street Live, if he crept up and looked
Speaker 1: through the window at me and waved, I would not
Speaker 1: be shocked.
Speaker 3: And you wouldn't either, right, you.
Speaker 2: Weren't with him for a long time, Tony. One thing
Speaker 2: about Tony is his foe wall will kick in at
Speaker 2: some point. And I mean that in a positive way.
Speaker 2: I mean that in a good light. He's one person
Speaker 2: that he likes to listen to the station when he's
Speaker 2: not working. He just likes to hear what other people
Speaker 2: are talking about, and it wouldn't surprise me if he
Speaker 2: got up this morning. And as we know, when you
Speaker 2: work early in the morning, you don't sleep in anymore.
Speaker 2: On the weekends, I'm up at six o'clock, and.
Speaker 1: A lot of folks have told me that this isn't
Speaker 1: something that you just completely disassociate from Cold Turkey. Right,
Speaker 1: he's retired, he's not working, but it's probably not going
Speaker 1: to be normal for him to just not be tuned
Speaker 1: into this station that, of course he was a big
Speaker 1: part of for a long long time and one of
Speaker 1: many that has made this station, News Radio eight forty
Speaker 1: whas what it is. And that's that's something I've mentioned
Speaker 1: throughout the morning for those who don't know, I'm the
Speaker 1: new guy. This is day one for me taking over
Speaker 1: for Tony Cruz and joining a great team that's already
Speaker 1: in place with Scott Fitzgerald, John Alden and John Shannon.
Speaker 1: And I really try to tell myself that from the
Speaker 1: beginning of time, since I first knew what radio was,
Speaker 1: that I did know what news radio eight forty whas
Speaker 1: is in just how long it's been around the resource,
Speaker 1: it's been to this community for so so long, I
Speaker 1: think I knew that. I believe I knew that, but
Speaker 1: the last week has really been just a reminder of
Speaker 1: just how how how awesome this opportunity is for me.
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm grateful beyond belief, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: try not to screw it up. That's that's what Uh,
Speaker 1: that's what those have told me, and I'm good. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give it my best. But what I've really found
Speaker 1: in appreciation for recently is the these the folks that
Speaker 1: have that have worked here at some point, maybe retired
Speaker 1: like Tony Cruz, maybe they've moved to a different market,
Speaker 1: maybe they've gotten out of the industry.
Speaker 3: Uh, maybe they're still here. Some of them are.
Speaker 1: They've put so much into this being what it is
Speaker 1: to where the brand, the standard has has never dipped,
Speaker 1: never dropped. And I just wanted to use this first
Speaker 1: data to to let people know that as someone who's
Speaker 1: worked alongside a lot of these people for years but
Speaker 1: not in this spot, they work really, really hard, and
Speaker 1: especially our news team. I know I mentioned this name earlier.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure people realize how hard Paul Miles works.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think people realize the professionalism that
Speaker 1: he that he has and that doesn't go unnoticed to
Speaker 1: a lot of folks, certainly not me. So you know,
Speaker 1: it's exciting. One everything about this opportunity is exciting. Again,
Speaker 1: this doesn't seem real. Please don't wake me up if
Speaker 1: in fact this is not real, because it's awesome, but
Speaker 1: to you know, to be on the team, if you will,
Speaker 1: with folks who really not only take it serious, she
Speaker 1: should always take what you do serious, but have such
Speaker 1: a passion and a pride, and they could not work
Speaker 1: here for ten years because of whatever reason retirement moving away,
Speaker 1: it'll be impossible for them not to care about what
Speaker 1: this is and the brand and the reputation and the
Speaker 1: standard that eight forty whas has And it's been real
Speaker 1: noticeable for me in recent weeks. And I'm going to
Speaker 1: try my best to you know, to do the same
Speaker 1: and put as much as I can into it and
Speaker 1: maintain what you can expect here, which is traffic, weather,
Speaker 1: conversations that are important to have when it comes to
Speaker 1: the community, conversations with leaders in the area.
Speaker 3: And we'll also have some fun.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if I'm as fun as
Speaker 1: Tony Kruz, who could be right, he's a.
Speaker 3: Good times guy. But we'll have some fun and it's
Speaker 3: been fun so far. Right, you've been doing great, Nick.
Speaker 3: Can you think they may let me come back tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I wanted to let you know that good friend of mine,
Speaker 2: Steve reached out send me an email already this morning
Speaker 2: said love that Nick is in the driver's seat. Absolutely
Speaker 2: loves what you're doing. He says your tagline, by the way,
Speaker 2: enjoy your morning coffee with Nick Coffee.
Speaker 3: Thank you tells you to keep up the good work.
Speaker 2: Exclamation point.
Speaker 3: So thanks Steve, we've got one that it's given me
Speaker 3: the approval. Great boss, you're doing good. Thank you, Thank
Speaker 3: you very much.
Speaker 1: All Right, we've got trafficking weather coming up right here
Speaker 1: on news radio eight forty.
Speaker 3: W h A S. It's seven fifteen here Kentucky. His
Speaker 3: morning news on.
Speaker 1: News radio eight forty w h A S. Appreciate you
Speaker 1: guys joining us this morning. Nick Coffeeang.
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, I just used to the new buttons in here,
Speaker 2: min I I just got another text in from the
Speaker 2: folks out of the Kentucky truck Plant.
Speaker 3: They're enjoying the great shot.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 3: I like that, good man, good job.
Speaker 2: Joey sent that into.
Speaker 3: Us appreciate that good stuff.
Speaker 2: My buddy is Tony Thomas, no relation to famous Justin
Speaker 2: Thomas also says.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, if we can make this show just
Speaker 1: people saying that they're enjoying the show, I think they'd
Speaker 1: be great radio. I just you know, but I'm sure
Speaker 1: there's many others that I'm gonna be an acquired taste.
Speaker 3: But that's okay.
Speaker 1: I'm well aware that you may just you know, Look,
Speaker 1: if you love Tony Kruz and you're gonna miss him,
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna miss him too. But I'm gonna try my.
Speaker 1: Best to keep to keep you with what you have
Speaker 1: become used to getting every single morning, with the traffic, weather,
Speaker 1: all the news information that you need, and you know,
Speaker 1: we'll have some fun along the way. One thing that
Speaker 1: our partners over WLKY have recently, and I know they're
Speaker 1: not the only ones, but obviously there are news partners
Speaker 1: and that's where I read this over the weekend about
Speaker 1: there's gonna be an increase in an increase to parking.
Speaker 1: And I guess, before we get into the specifics, do
Speaker 1: you think that there are I mean, do you have
Speaker 1: the expectation no matter where you go when it comes
Speaker 1: to like a downtown city, including this one, that you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to pay, I just assume at this point
Speaker 1: you should just people should know that more often than not,
Speaker 1: finding a place where you're not gonna have to pay
Speaker 1: to park is rare.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And that's say, you know, and this is
Speaker 2: where all plod city of the level? Do you use
Speaker 2: the parking app?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know of it, but I don't know. Oh,
Speaker 2: it's amazing. And the beauty of it is you get
Speaker 2: out of your car. You don't have to have coins.
Speaker 2: You just find your meter number, you type it in
Speaker 2: the app, and it goes and you say, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: stay here for three hours.
Speaker 3: The better part.
Speaker 2: About that is if I'm in a meeting or I'm
Speaker 2: in an event and it goes longer, it alerts me
Speaker 2: that time is about to expire. And I've seen this
Speaker 2: around the country, and so I can actually add more time.
Speaker 3: I have used that.
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was an app, but when we
Speaker 1: parked for at Slugger Field a couple weeks ago for
Speaker 1: a game, you do the skin, you scan the QR code,
Speaker 1: and I guess if I just have the app, then
Speaker 1: I wouldn't need to go to the website every time,
Speaker 1: but yes it does warn you, yep, and that that's convenient,
Speaker 1: but you know, you got to pay.
Speaker 2: You got to pay. I understand that, you know, and
Speaker 2: let's be honest. I mean, the city has to pick
Speaker 2: up revenue at some point.
Speaker 3: So that's that's that's what's happening.
Speaker 1: The parking authority of every city is going to They've
Speaker 1: announced they're going to increase rates for monthly reserved, unreserved
Speaker 1: and residential parking. It's going to start July first, so
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened just yet, but park Board approve the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six fiscal years operation budget, which included a
Speaker 1: five dollars rate increase for monthly reserved, unreserved and residential
Speaker 1: parking rates across all of the park facilities.
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be I mean, I.
Speaker 1: Know people probably that did not used to have to
Speaker 1: pay that now have to. It's probably a real like,
Speaker 1: but it's part of it. And again I would be
Speaker 1: frustrated too if parking went up and I already had
Speaker 1: to pay a monthly fee just to park to go
Speaker 1: to work, because if you've never had to do that,
Speaker 1: you're thinking well, what the heck.
Speaker 3: However, if you've worked.
Speaker 1: Downtown in a parking garage for many, many years, like
Speaker 1: my mother has, it's just always been a thing to
Speaker 1: where that's where you park, and there's a there's a
Speaker 1: cost associated with it, and it's just kind of part
Speaker 1: of it. But if it just hits you out of nowhere,
Speaker 1: what do you mean, I got to pay to go
Speaker 1: to work? What it's going to be a surprise to
Speaker 1: a lot of people.
Speaker 2: It's funny you say that because my wife just started
Speaker 2: working back downtown recently, and the place.
Speaker 3: She works for they pay part of her parking.
Speaker 2: But she went through the same thing and she's like,
Speaker 2: I got to pay to park, but that for about
Speaker 2: a week and a half and then she realized, one
Speaker 2: she loves the job too, She's doing well at the job,
Speaker 2: so paying that little bit doesn't matter. And then my son,
Speaker 2: who's got a summer job with the Reds up in Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: he has to if he wants to park closer to
Speaker 2: Great American Ballpark, he has to pay. Instead, he parks it.
Speaker 2: For those that know Cincinnati, he parks over at hard Rock.
Speaker 2: They've got a deal. The Red's got to deal with
Speaker 2: Hard Rock where he parks for free over there, but
Speaker 2: he's got to walk all the way from hard Rock
Speaker 2: down to Great American Ballpark. So I think it's kind
Speaker 2: of a given. You make the point excellent, and that
Speaker 2: is loock man, you're just gonna have to pay. I
Speaker 2: worked downtown before, and I've had to pay to park
Speaker 2: down here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it really just as mentioned. It comes
Speaker 1: down to, if it's always been a part of the
Speaker 1: gig because of where you've worked for a long time,
Speaker 1: you probably you probably still don't love it, but you're.
Speaker 3: Used to it.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: However, if if it's.
Speaker 1: I mean, they probably don't even tell you when you
Speaker 1: get a job, it doesn't come to mind for me.
Speaker 1: For example, we fortunately do not have to pay to
Speaker 1: park here at Port Street Love where our studios are,
Speaker 1: but if we did, I would think like, well, gee,
Speaker 1: I've never had to pay to come to work before.
Speaker 1: But then I would realize, well, I've never had a
Speaker 1: job where I go downtown Louisville every day, So I
Speaker 1: think I just I now no longer go anywhere, especially
Speaker 1: in a in a downtown area. But if we travel,
Speaker 1: especially like especially if it's in some level of a
Speaker 1: tourist spot.
Speaker 3: Yes, they're gonna make.
Speaker 1: You pay to park, and it's probably not going to
Speaker 1: be cheap. And I know I'm not the only one
Speaker 1: that is no longer surprised at all when I hear
Speaker 1: something is now a more expensive price than it.
Speaker 3: Was, you know, a week ago. But you're saying everything expensive.
Speaker 2: You're saying a five dollars increase a month. Don't get
Speaker 2: me wrong. Five That may be a lot for some people,
Speaker 2: and I want to be very sympathetic to that, But
Speaker 2: for you and I and probably John, we're gonna blow
Speaker 2: five bucks int a vending machine somewhere. It's true, you know,
Speaker 2: it's kind of I was that way with gas prices.
Speaker 2: When gas prices will go up, you do the average
Speaker 2: cost you about two dollars more a fill up. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna blow that. Buying an energy drinking, a candy bar,
Speaker 2: I'm my way out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go, or some watermelon, as you mentioned.
Speaker 1: That's right, John, And all those things that you're referencing
Speaker 1: are I mean, I'm sure a lot of people love
Speaker 1: enjoying energy drinks, candy bars, that kind of stuff. But
Speaker 1: parking for your job employment, that's a little more important.
Speaker 3: So it's worth it. It's worth it. Again.
Speaker 1: It's not something people probably want to do, but it's
Speaker 1: part of it, all right. We got another update of
Speaker 1: trafficking weather coming your way, and also another update of
Speaker 1: sports with Scott right here on News Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 3: Thank you, John Shannon.
Speaker 1: It is seven thirty five here Kentucky and it's morning
Speaker 1: news on News Radio eight forty whas. So the Dave
Speaker 1: Ramsey Show, which, of course I'm assuming a lot of
Speaker 1: you are familiar with and familiar with Dave Ramsey and
Speaker 1: how he has helped many many over the years get
Speaker 1: a better control of their budget, help them with their finances,
Speaker 1: and you can hear his program on our sister station,
Speaker 1: talk radio ten ady WKJK. He has a caller that
Speaker 1: recently went viral. Well, I guess the clip from his
Speaker 1: show of a caller went viral. That's the better way
Speaker 1: to put it, because Dave Ramsey was stunned, and oftentimes,
Speaker 1: I guess in that position, he's probably not stunned to
Speaker 1: hear certain stories because people are pretty forthcoming about how
Speaker 1: they ended up being in the situation they're in financially,
Speaker 1: and sometimes that's what makes for good radio. I believe
Speaker 1: he'll tell them, well, here's your problem. You're spending money
Speaker 1: on this when you shouldn't, and anyways, I'll bring it
Speaker 1: up because this was just something you often don't hear
Speaker 1: on that program, at least that I'm aware of, And
Speaker 1: it seems like something that I would say most would
Speaker 1: not would not agree with. But I want to throw
Speaker 1: it at you guys, So the caller wanted to. He
Speaker 1: didn't really ask many questions, which was kind of odd,
Speaker 1: but he went During the conversation, he alluded to the
Speaker 1: fact that he has recently come into some money from
Speaker 1: a variety of ways to where he's got a million
Speaker 1: dollars in a bank account, but his wife has no
Speaker 1: clue that they have that much money. And it just
Speaker 1: it started to back and forth between a lot of
Speaker 1: people reacting, how this is this a husband that's just
Speaker 1: being responsible and understands maybe that if his wife knew
Speaker 1: that they had a million dollars, that that million dollars
Speaker 1: maybe wouldn't last that long. Or is it just him
Speaker 1: being you know, is he is he not being on me?
Speaker 1: He's clearly not being honest with his wife. But it
Speaker 1: does seem as if most people think that it's that
Speaker 1: you should you should let somebody know and rather than
Speaker 1: keeping that from them. But again, when you keep good
Speaker 1: news from somebody, it doesn't appear to be as big
Speaker 1: of a deal that if you're keeping bad news that
Speaker 1: of course you know they would upset them.
Speaker 2: If he's not going out and say spending the money,
Speaker 2: you shouldn't keep things. As far as I'm concerned, you
Speaker 2: shouldn't keep things like that from your spouse. And a
Speaker 2: million dollars is enough. It's not like he went out
Speaker 2: and just got an extra twenty bucks in your check.
Speaker 1: Well, when I can't relate, I typically have a lot
Speaker 1: of questions. So I don't know, is he keeping it
Speaker 1: a secret because he's worried, because maybe maybe he's someone
Speaker 1: that that a lot of folks are different when it
Speaker 1: comes to money. I learned this when my wife and
Speaker 1: I when we first started living together, right before we
Speaker 1: got married, and we you know, grew up a little
Speaker 1: bit and had full time jobs and had to pay
Speaker 1: rent in an apartment at that point, and we're talking
Speaker 1: roughly twenty years ago, we put all of our money
Speaker 1: in one account and that's how we've lived ever since.
Speaker 1: But I also know that not everybody does that, and
Speaker 1: that's you know, do whatever is most comfortable for you.
Speaker 1: I've benefited from this because my wife's the one who handles.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I.
Speaker 1: Don't think we have a million dollars, but I'm kind
Speaker 1: of in this situation that if we did, I think
Speaker 1: I would know, but I don't really know. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think this guy's not really getting the ben from
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt from a lot of people,
Speaker 1: because most just assume that there's got to There's gotta
Speaker 1: be some shady reason on his end why he wouldn't
Speaker 1: tell her that, Because when you have that kind of news,
Speaker 1: and I guess it really depends upon their financial situation overall.
Speaker 1: How much money is a million dollars to them? It
Speaker 1: would be a lot to me, maybe not as much
Speaker 1: to them, but I wouldn't be able to control my
Speaker 1: excitement if I was able to share that from a
Speaker 1: financial standpoint. This is now where we are, and we should,
Speaker 1: you know, enjoy it together. And I don't mean go
Speaker 1: spend it all, but just you know, is it stale
Speaker 1: a level of security? Well, is it safe to say
Speaker 1: that in marriages? And maybe you've experienced, maybe you haven't.
Speaker 1: There's one person in the marriage that if you give
Speaker 1: them a dollar, they'll spend ninety nine cents. There's another
Speaker 1: person in the marriage that if you give them a dollar,
Speaker 1: they'll put seventy five of that aside and leave it
Speaker 1: there and live very cheaply. I would say that's pretty common.
Speaker 1: There's one it's a little bit more willing to spend
Speaker 1: than others. I just have this plastic cart in my
Speaker 1: wallet and I swipe it when I need to eat
Speaker 1: and put fuel in my car. I am very I
Speaker 1: shouldn't admit I should admit this on day one, but
Speaker 1: my wife is very much in I don't want to
Speaker 1: say it. I mean, she is in charge, but it's
Speaker 1: not because I'm you know, she's my boss. She just,
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like I'm kind of a kid
Speaker 1: when it comes to that kind of stuff, which, honestly,
Speaker 1: financial stress is.
Speaker 3: A big, big deal for a lot of people.
Speaker 1: I believe at one point maybe it still is the
Speaker 1: biggest factor in why people get divorced because of just
Speaker 1: financial issues causing such a strain on their marriage. Which
Speaker 1: I can totally understand that happening, so I benefit from
Speaker 1: it in that aspect. But I also think there's a
Speaker 1: similar story. This wasn't from Dave Ramsey, but there was
Speaker 1: somebody who won the lottery and the reason they wanted
Speaker 1: to remain anonymous was because they didn't want their children
Speaker 1: to know that, hey, they're always going to have millions,
Speaker 1: that's going to come to them at some point. Rather
Speaker 1: they need the resource just in life or maybe whenever
Speaker 1: they inherit it. And I think that's a different, totally
Speaker 1: different thing. I think with your kids to want to
Speaker 1: want to go out there work for themselves and not
Speaker 1: just know, hey, I can do whatever, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get mom and Dad's money.
Speaker 2: And I think what you're doing, Nick, you're bringing up
Speaker 2: a great point, and that is everybody's got a different story.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: So when you see something like this, dig deeper into
Speaker 2: it and look at what's underneath to your point, because
Speaker 2: there's probably a lot going on that we're not prevous.
Speaker 1: It's just a reminder to me again whenever I can't relate.
Speaker 1: I got a lot of questions, but it's a reminder, Well,
Speaker 1: everybody's different, Yeah, everybody's wire different.
Speaker 3: So good stuff.
Speaker 1: All right, We've got another update of traffic and weather
Speaker 1: coming your way. Keep it locked right here. On Kentucky
Speaker 1: has morning news on news radio eight forty whas. It
Speaker 1: is seven forty five here Kentucky his morning news news
Speaker 1: Radio eight forty whas. We'll have another update of sports
Speaker 1: coming your way in about ten minutes. Also in four minutes,
Speaker 1: another update on traffic and weather. I am Nick Coffee,
Speaker 1: first day on the job, but I'm having fun. I'm
Speaker 1: enjoying myself. I was gonna say off to a good start.
Speaker 1: I just mean, you know, they haven't gotten rid of
Speaker 1: me yet, which means I guess, so far, so good.
Speaker 3: Wou wouldn't be alive. But really happy to be here.
Speaker 1: And one of the things I'm really excited about is
Speaker 1: working alongside a great team. And you've heard from many
Speaker 1: of these people for a while because they've been a
Speaker 1: part of the show before I was. But John Alden,
Speaker 1: the company man, as I used to call him, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to force the nickname here because you know,
Speaker 1: they don't call him that here, and he's just He's
Speaker 1: just John Alden, and that is that is his name.
Speaker 1: But he's I liked having a nickname. But I feel
Speaker 1: like maybe the balance here in sports radio Shenanigans, maybe
Speaker 1: there's not as much nicknames because at has it's much
Speaker 1: more sophisticated, much more professional, and that's what John Olden is.
Speaker 3: But he's also a new father. And I got to ask.
Speaker 1: You, and I don't know, have you said that the
Speaker 1: name of your of your daughter on the air.
Speaker 3: Because I don't want to be that guy. Daisy Grace.
Speaker 1: I knew her name, but I just you know, some
Speaker 1: people keep stuff really private, you know, I get I
Speaker 1: get asked every now and then.
Speaker 3: He's your wife.
Speaker 1: Does she know like you talk about your personal life
Speaker 1: a lot on a lot on the show?
Speaker 3: She knows I've talked about some things that she does sometimes.
Speaker 1: Well, well, my wife, she doesn't. She didn't know it
Speaker 1: at the time, but she kind of signed up for this.
Speaker 3: And my kids too.
Speaker 1: You know, when my son and my daughter get older,
Speaker 1: they'll they'll they'll realize that there's people out there that
Speaker 1: might know a little bit about him. And you know,
Speaker 1: I just say, look, I didn't embarrass you. If anything,
Speaker 1: I embarrass myself, which again I guess maybe may embarrass
Speaker 1: you in return. But anyways, John, the reason ask is
Speaker 1: because there are there's a new update here as far
Speaker 1: as the ten trending baby names of twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: according to Google. And I'm not surprised that any of
Speaker 1: these names are are trending, but I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know of any any young kids, at least with my
Speaker 1: friends who have children. A lot of my friends do,
Speaker 1: but Sutton is number one.
Speaker 3: Theodore.
Speaker 1: I could see that there's names that do that every
Speaker 1: now and then right where Theodore's was probably really big
Speaker 1: in a certain era. Then it's you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: not for a long time. And then now, like I
Speaker 1: could see a baby Theo, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Taint popular. The popularity of Theo Vaughn. Maybe chieople name
Speaker 3: their kid after him.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that would be why, but you know,
Speaker 1: I mean that's why I think, yees, yeah, it's true.
Speaker 1: And then there's Sadie, which that's a pretty popular name, Amelia, Athena, Area, Violet, Zion, Melo,
Speaker 1: and Lincoln and those are all they sound like. I
Speaker 1: would say, Lincoln and Theodore, maybe Sutton to an extent,
Speaker 1: or ones that I feel like have a little bit more,
Speaker 1: you know, they've been around a lot longer. Others maybe
Speaker 1: not quite as much. But I feel like names more
Speaker 1: often than not are short now and maybe it's just
Speaker 1: because it's you know, that's just that's the trend.
Speaker 3: That's the way, that's the way it goes.
Speaker 1: But it does fascinate me how names will really seem
Speaker 1: almostly extinct and then they come back.
Speaker 2: Ye like, yeah, you get more traditional names that come
Speaker 2: into play. I'm finding out now. I'm just appreciating that
Speaker 2: when I was born, a lot of people were named Scott.
Speaker 2: And you see, like when my son was born, every
Speaker 2: kid was named Aiden. Every kid's name was Aiden.
Speaker 3: Aiden had a big run.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Aiden had a big run. So you go through
Speaker 2: these sparks and and John, I love the fact that
Speaker 2: you guys are bringing back daisy.
Speaker 3: I think that is a classic. I couldn't tell you
Speaker 3: very many daisies that I'm aware of at this point.
Speaker 3: Was there a reason?
Speaker 2: Was there a reason behind that one?
Speaker 3: So my wife's grandmother passed away a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: Her name was Marguerite, and in French that means daisy.
Speaker 1: Notice, and you've got a good story to share about
Speaker 1: it as well. That's good stuff. You just you don't
Speaker 1: often see, Like if my friend came to me and said, yeah,
Speaker 1: we've decided on a name, uh for our for our
Speaker 1: son is gonna be baby Bernard. I mean you would
Speaker 1: think what, like you know, like so but maybe in
Speaker 1: ten years, Like it's it's trendy again, like like Theodore,
Speaker 1: Like if you ever considered certain names of that that
Speaker 1: you just don't hear often anymore. Like Gary's a really
Speaker 1: common name, but not young, right, I mean maybe dog
Speaker 1: if you're a young Gary, show yourself, because I don't
Speaker 1: know any young Gary's. But like if if John said, yeah,
Speaker 1: we got baby number two coming, we're gonna go with Gary.
Speaker 1: Gary's a fine name. It's just me holding a baby
Speaker 1: and saying, hey, Gary just seems it seems off, but again,
Speaker 1: maybe it'll maybe it'll, it'll make a company.
Speaker 2: Now you're like me and you think Gary the snail
Speaker 2: from SpongeBob SquarePants.
Speaker 1: Right, it sounds like you have a person that comes
Speaker 1: to mind anytime you hear a name, which.
Speaker 2: Then and then you have spin offs. My daughter's was Kayla,
Speaker 2: and then we find out after she was named there
Speaker 2: was Mark Kla. Oh yeah, I And so there's spinoffs
Speaker 2: that come of those names.
Speaker 1: What's what's trippy for me is that my name is Nicholas.
Speaker 1: I go by Nick, but there's actually no k in
Speaker 1: my name. We just you know, it's not uncommon. But now,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if this is real or somebody
Speaker 1: was just messing with me, but kids who were named
Speaker 1: Nicholas that are now getting to be like teenagers, they
Speaker 1: go by Nico and not Nick.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, which that like, am I gonna be.
Speaker 1: Seventy five at the DMV and they're just gonna think
Speaker 1: I don't go by Nicholas and they're gonna say, Nico,
Speaker 1: you're up, like you know, they just say a number
Speaker 1: at the DMV anyway, But you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know if I could
Speaker 1: be a Nico Nicholas before I'll be a Nico I
Speaker 1: think exactly right. We got an update of trafficking weather
Speaker 1: coming up right now, and then we'll get an update
