Speaker 1: Thank you John seven oh four here a Kentucky had
Speaker 1: his morning news on news Ready eight forty whas Nick
Speaker 1: Coffee with you back for day two and after day
Speaker 1: one I already had two new supporters. I really didn't
Speaker 1: know what to expect when it comes to the reaction
Speaker 1: to day one. But Richard on Twitter did tell me
Speaker 1: he sent this after the show in diod yesterday, for
Speaker 1: the first time in twenty one years, my wife and
Speaker 1: I woke up in bed. Was someone different, good first show,
Speaker 1: So Richard, it was an honor a privilege to wake
Speaker 1: up in bed with you and your wife yesterday.
Speaker 2: I've heard that from people they would come up in
Speaker 2: like the State there when we were out there, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we lay in bed and listen to you.
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember whenever I was on seven ninety
Speaker 1: and I used to think that was early. I learned
Speaker 1: my first day coming into the morning show there that
Speaker 1: you guys had already been up and at it for
Speaker 1: many hours when I started. But I remember I told
Speaker 1: Will Clark one one morning that I start every morning
Speaker 1: in the shower with him. Yeah, And I realized after
Speaker 1: I'd said that that that that probably didn't come out
Speaker 1: the same way. But he knew what I meant.
Speaker 2: I was just going to ask you are you Are
Speaker 2: you a person who likes to because I like to
Speaker 2: listen to music while I'm in the shower.
Speaker 3: I even had one of those shower radios back in
Speaker 3: the day.
Speaker 1: So morning showers for me, as if the last couple
Speaker 1: of days, I'm more zombie, I'm kind of just I'm
Speaker 1: not sure I'm actually awake. But typically, yeah, if I'm
Speaker 1: going to listen to something in the shower, I'm more
Speaker 1: so music.
Speaker 2: Yeah, music, or nobody has shower radios anymore. I just
Speaker 2: take my phone outside the.
Speaker 1: Same thing, or like one of those echo speakers or whatnot, right, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, gives me a chance to let you
Speaker 1: guys know, you can always take us with you wherever
Speaker 1: you go. Listen live on your iHeartRadio app, and you
Speaker 1: can also listen live at at whas dot com. So obviously,
Speaker 1: big story from yesterday and of course even today is
Speaker 1: addressing what took place on Barchtown Road in the Highlands
Speaker 1: area over the last couple of weekends. And you know,
Speaker 1: I've been really not going out of my way, but
Speaker 1: this is of course something that a lot of people
Speaker 1: have have comments on and one of the things I
Speaker 1: saw yesterday was that they believe the last two weeks
Speaker 1: were more were as bad as they were due to
Speaker 1: people out celebrating graduations, which maybe that's the case, but
Speaker 1: like either way, that still shouldn't happen at all. And
Speaker 1: you know, my thoughts earlier that I shared is that
Speaker 1: this happening anywhere should be addressed. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people who are just used to the Highlands and
Speaker 1: maybe they used to go out to the bars in
Speaker 1: their younger years when they were in their twenties thirties,
Speaker 1: and maybe that was a long time ago, maybe it
Speaker 1: was just ten years ago. They're just, I guess surprised
Speaker 1: to hear that these kind of things are taking place
Speaker 1: in that area, just because they weren't used to seeing that.
Speaker 1: Where people would just basically flood the streets. You have
Speaker 1: people jumping on cars trying to disarm security. Obviously, I
Speaker 1: mean that shouldn't take place anywhere. I think the local
Speaker 1: noise about wow, what's happened to the Highlands is one thing,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure Craig Greenberg as well as as Chief Humphrey,
Speaker 1: this is something that regardless of wherever it's happening, they would,
Speaker 1: they would, they would want to address but if they do,
Speaker 1: decide to shut down bars earlier, or at least tell
Speaker 1: them that they can't stay open as late as they've
Speaker 1: been staying open for a long time. Scott, do you
Speaker 1: think that would? I mean, it can't hurt.
Speaker 2: It can't hurt, not at all. And I think you
Speaker 2: at this point you have to do something. But let's
Speaker 2: be honest here and let's call out what it is.
Speaker 3: Bartstown Road is changing.
Speaker 2: I mean, Louvino closed down their location on Bardstown Road.
Speaker 3: Okay, they still got what I believe it's out in Jeffersonville.
Speaker 2: I want to say, but Bardstown Road is not the
Speaker 2: same Bardstown Road it was just ten fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3: I've been here over twenty.
Speaker 2: Five years and Bartstown Road is not because my wife
Speaker 2: told me when I first moved here, she because we
Speaker 2: are going to hang out of Bartstown Road. In fact,
Speaker 2: for Valentine's Day, we went to Ramsey's. Ramsey's one of
Speaker 2: our favorite restaurants. We love Ramsey's.
Speaker 3: But even when we were leaving then we're like, this
Speaker 3: is not.
Speaker 2: The same Bardstown Road. And I don't know if NEWLU
Speaker 2: has something to do with that. I'm just gonna be
Speaker 2: honest here, because we've been to both. We like Newlu
Speaker 2: and we like that main drag down Newlu, but we
Speaker 2: like Bartstown Road. But there aren't the same businesses that
Speaker 2: were at Bartstown Road that were before. And neighborhoods change,
Speaker 2: Nick they we know this. You go back to your
Speaker 2: old neighborhood where you grew up, I'll bitch, it's vastly
Speaker 2: different than what it was when you were there. And
Speaker 2: I experienced that when I went home. So Bardstown Road
Speaker 2: is changing, if you're asking me on a personal level.
Speaker 2: One L and PD is doing an amazing job with
Speaker 2: the resources they have to keep this the best they can.
Speaker 2: And I don't think anybody's not in agreement with that,
Speaker 2: at least from the social media posts I've read.
Speaker 3: I have read some disturbing.
Speaker 2: Social media posts on this. There's some folks that clearly
Speaker 2: there's a lot to be learned there. But on the
Speaker 2: same token, this too shell pass and eventually these riots
Speaker 2: will start to subside.
Speaker 3: Remember we went through this with Derby cruising, and people, yeah.
Speaker 1: People were I was I was very young, but yes,
Speaker 1: I remember Derby cursing.
Speaker 3: People were all up in arms about that.
Speaker 2: And then that seemed to subside, and neighborhoods Ebb and
Speaker 2: Flow and Bardstown Road will find its sort of renaissance
Speaker 2: because that's where I think they are.
Speaker 1: But I think makes Barchtown Road first of all, it
Speaker 1: is it's one of the easily one of the more
Speaker 1: known areas of Louisville. And you're right, neighborhoods areas there.
Speaker 1: They become a lot different after a decade or so.
Speaker 1: But if you've lived there, you know, people live in
Speaker 1: their home probably more often than some businesses stick around.
Speaker 1: There's a certain place that could be three four different
Speaker 1: businesses in the amount of times somebody's called it, you know,
Speaker 1: within a block, they've called that their home for a
Speaker 1: long time. So if you live there, you see it,
Speaker 1: you know, changing all the time. I guess you really
Speaker 1: never know what you're going to expect.
Speaker 2: I mean, look at look at Mid City Mall. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll try to find a buyer from Mid City Mall now.
Speaker 2: So I mean it happens, the Highlands will be fine. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just not in a good place right now.
Speaker 1: I think if they were, if they were to let
Speaker 1: everybody know that if you have bars, restaurants, she can't
Speaker 1: stay open until four am anymore. You're gonna have to
Speaker 1: close it down around one. I don't know just how
Speaker 1: much that would help, but again I don't think it
Speaker 1: could hurt, and I think it would be a good
Speaker 1: faith gesture for the business owners who are saying, look,
Speaker 1: we hear you, We believe you do understand this is
Speaker 1: an issue, but we need it fixed. This has become
Speaker 1: too much. All right, Another update of trafficking weather's coming
Speaker 1: your way. It's seven to ten here on Kentucky Its
Speaker 1: Morning News news Radio eight forty whas seven fifteen Here
Speaker 1: at news radioa forty whas, Nick Coffee, if you will
Speaker 1: have another update on sports coming up at about ten
Speaker 1: minutes from Scott Fitzgerald, and of course something he'd mentioned
Speaker 1: earlier this morning, and it is big news little of baseball.
Speaker 1: They are back hosting superregionals for the first time since
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, which just sounds wrong, but it's not. It
Speaker 1: sounds as if it's been, you know, just a couple
Speaker 1: of years, because when it comes to postseason baseball, Jim Patterson,
Speaker 1: it became really an annual thing to where you'd host
Speaker 1: regionals and mostly superregionals. But obviously in recent years, especially
Speaker 1: in the New World with the portal and NIL, it's
Speaker 1: just been an adjustment. So a big postseason thus far
Speaker 1: for Dan McDonald's one that was certainly needed, just because
Speaker 1: again he'd set the standard pretty high early on, and
Speaker 1: you know, last few years were not nearly as good
Speaker 1: as what he had done for a good chunk of
Speaker 1: his time here at UL. So now they're going to
Speaker 1: host Miami this weekend for the Superregionals that'll get started
Speaker 1: on Friday, and they're just two wins away from getting
Speaker 1: back to Omaha, which would be easier said than done
Speaker 1: to get there, but that would be that'd be special
Speaker 1: for them, no doubt.
Speaker 2: Well, how blessed are we nick to have two facilities
Speaker 2: like one of my favorite places to go here, I
Speaker 2: have two places to have a cool vibe when it
Speaker 2: comes to sports. Obviously, the Young Center stands alone on
Speaker 2: its own, but I'm talking about when I get to
Speaker 2: go to a loose city game or a racing game.
Speaker 2: Lynn Family Stadiums got an amazing vibe, but Jim Patterson
Speaker 2: Stadium on the corner, there's nothing I look forward to
Speaker 2: more than going down there, and my son always wants
Speaker 2: to go there when there's gaming Time's a big level
Speaker 2: baseball fan and it was interesting when Jim Patterson put
Speaker 2: his name on that. You remember a chance was free
Speaker 2: forever and what a great marketing too one. Obviously, there
Speaker 2: was some pushback when they said, Okay, we're gonna start
Speaker 2: charging for a sec games in the Kentucky game, which
Speaker 2: I totally get.
Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta pay for something, sure.
Speaker 2: And I think you eased a lot of people's minds
Speaker 2: the other day when we were talking about it, and
Speaker 2: so many.
Speaker 3: People are like, well, damn McDonald leaving? Is he leaving?
Speaker 2: And your response was simple, is where's he going to go?
Speaker 2: And I think you brought up a great point, and
Speaker 2: I think Dan stays here. I hope It's long been
Speaker 2: said he doesn't get the support. Sometimes he thinks he
Speaker 2: should and I shouldn't say he maybe others think that way.
Speaker 1: Well, what has happened is that I think at the
Speaker 1: time he was turning down bigger jobs, he had realized
Speaker 1: that he's clearly built a program that has everything you'd need.
Speaker 1: He's been to Omaha many times. A breakthrough and then
Speaker 1: winning the College World Series for a good stretch of
Speaker 1: his career would not have been viewed as a shocker.
Speaker 1: I mean they were due for one and then the
Speaker 1: world changed. You have to pay players and you have
Speaker 1: guys that can just up and leave and not have
Speaker 1: to sit out. And I think resources at SEC programs
Speaker 1: are a little bit better. They've got a little bit
Speaker 1: more money to go get players. So I think that
Speaker 1: was part of why he had struggled in recent years.
Speaker 1: So to have this breakthrough season where they had a
Speaker 1: good year then just enter the postseason really cold, to
Speaker 1: now be just two months away from Omaha, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody would would doubt that Dan McDonald
Speaker 1: is a good coach. They can get it done. But
Speaker 1: you did wonder can he really get back to where
Speaker 1: he was in the new world with so much things
Speaker 1: different and so far this postseason run that they're currently
Speaker 1: in right now, I mean, that could go a long way.
Speaker 1: And it's with college baseball. The postseason is interesting. I
Speaker 1: love seeing and I won't be a phony and act
Speaker 1: like I watched a lot of it, But in the postseason,
Speaker 1: of course, it's it's much more visible on television and whatnot,
Speaker 1: and you could just see how much the players are
Speaker 1: well aware that this is their time to shine. They're
Speaker 1: on TV much more than they really ever are, and
Speaker 1: they're into it and that kind of stuff. I think
Speaker 1: it can hook, It can hook fans. And not to
Speaker 1: say that this is something that you want every day
Speaker 1: in college sports, but I think when you can add
Speaker 1: some drama, some fire, I think that that alone can
Speaker 1: help get people interested. And that's what we had over
Speaker 1: the weekend. I don't know if you guys saw this, but
Speaker 1: Florida head coach Kevin O'Sullivan, he's he's since issued an apology,
Speaker 1: but he was not happy when it comes to I
Speaker 1: guess the field conditions. And this is really where I
Speaker 1: want to play this clip for you guys really quickly here,
Speaker 1: because this is just something you don't often see a
Speaker 1: coach at a program like Coastal Carolina calling out a
Speaker 1: coach at Florida, who, by the way, is a national
Speaker 1: championship coach in this manner. And again the coach has
Speaker 1: since apologized for it, but I think this is the
Speaker 1: type of clip, not saying you just can manufacture this drama,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure this this view, which by the way,
Speaker 1: I'm about to play the clip for you, this has
Speaker 1: over four million views, and I think that speaks to
Speaker 1: if you had more coaches being honest and real and
Speaker 1: just not afraid to call somebody out, it might bring
Speaker 1: a little bit more interest their way.
Speaker 3: Dad's work has never done. Has Father's Day gifts for
Speaker 3: every dad from time.
Speaker 1: I don't know where that was coming from. Apologies, that's
Speaker 1: not the sound I want to play here. Well, here
Speaker 1: we go, I apologized. Where does that coming?
Speaker 4: I don't know where. Try that and try that now
Speaker 4: the moment might have passed. It's yeah, never mind, here
Speaker 4: we go. So again, I only bring that up because
Speaker 4: that's not something you typically here. And I think that
Speaker 4: brought a little more attention to the college baseball postseason,
Speaker 4: which that could get people to stick around a little
Speaker 4: longer because I'm telling you it's a pretty competitive, but
Speaker 4: pretty fiery I mean these guys, I mean, this is
Speaker 4: their time to shine. It's winter or go home. And
Speaker 4: there have already been a lot of upsets there. So
Speaker 4: that's so Carolina coach Kevin Schnall, which, by the way,
Speaker 4: there was a somebody was filming on their cell phone
Speaker 4: when the coach at Florida was in fact talking to
Speaker 4: some folks about the facilities, and wasn't a good look
Speaker 4: for him. Not a surprise that he has since come
Speaker 4: out and apologize. But quick break, we've.
Speaker 1: Got some sports coming up on the other side with Scott.
Speaker 1: Also another update on trafficking weather right here on News
Speaker 1: readyweight forty whas. Thank you, John. It is seven thirty
Speaker 1: four here at Kentucky this morning news on News Ready
Speaker 1: eight forty whas. You know. This may surprise some of you,
Speaker 1: but it's true. Tony Venette has given me a lot
Speaker 1: of good advice over the years. In fact, Tony Venetti
Speaker 1: has said things to me that I'm thinking, Okay, this guy,
Speaker 1: what's he talking about. He's I'll let him finish, but
Speaker 1: I don't believe a word he says. And he ends
Speaker 1: up being right. But I don't know if he's right
Speaker 1: about this, but maybe he'll end up proving me wrong.
Speaker 1: But yesterday he was giving feedback on the show and said,
Speaker 1: you guys just should just just get right to it.
Speaker 1: We don't need to talk about Tony Cruz anymore, and
Speaker 1: we need to just, you know, just just get right
Speaker 1: to it. Get right to it. And I said, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like people may want to know
Speaker 1: who they're listening to. And he said, people don't care. Oh,
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, well, what he means is that just
Speaker 1: get to the news, get to the topics that people
Speaker 1: are interested in, which he's right. But I also think
Speaker 1: when you have a guy that's sitting here for you know,
Speaker 1: twenty plus years, and now he's not and there's a
Speaker 1: new person, I think it's understandable, especially in that day,
Speaker 1: to at least let people know who I am and
Speaker 1: you'll learn more about me over the years. Hopefully I'm
Speaker 1: here for many years. But one thing that you may
Speaker 1: not know, I'm married. My wife and I guess she
Speaker 1: would call us high school sweethearts. And the reason I
Speaker 1: share this is because I missed out on the whole.
Speaker 1: And if you're listening, honey, I'm glad I missed out.
Speaker 1: I'm lucky. But I don't know. I can't relate to
Speaker 1: the dating culture of apps. I mean, this is not
Speaker 1: a new thing. These have been around for a long
Speaker 1: time now. But there's apparently a new feature on Tender
Speaker 1: that has I don't know if it's controversial, but fellas
Speaker 1: that are on the shorter side are unhappy because because
Speaker 1: Tender has now added a height filter that I guess
Speaker 1: is a premium feature where women will have I guess
Speaker 1: the better, the better ability to determine if if the
Speaker 1: guy that they're talking to is is as tall as
Speaker 1: what they're seeking. My question is, I mean, how do
Speaker 1: you know? Like you can? I mean you can lie
Speaker 1: right like maybe they maybe you got to take a
Speaker 1: picture of your ID if you're a dude, and and
Speaker 1: that's the way they trust that you're actually the height
Speaker 1: that you list. But short kings are upset.
Speaker 2: So that's that brings up an age old question and
Speaker 2: that's that's a good take, Nick, because if your lady
Speaker 2: is height a big deal?
Speaker 1: I'd say it is for many especially if Tender's going
Speaker 1: to implement this feature, right, I mean, wow, I know
Speaker 1: so what I find not maybe this has changed over
Speaker 1: the years, because this is just something that was actually
Speaker 1: from many years ago and it just stood out to
Speaker 1: me because I was very surprised by it and fascinated honestly.
Speaker 1: But despite now with the Internet and all these different apps,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's an app if you're not only looking
Speaker 1: for some companionship, you're looking for a signific other, and
Speaker 1: you're looking for one that has a specific thing that
Speaker 1: she that she likes, enjoys you could probably find a
Speaker 1: dedicated platform for that. I mean, that's not unheard of.
Speaker 1: So I bring that up to say that, really, with
Speaker 1: your phone and all the different apps, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of ways you can try to find somebody now easier
Speaker 1: said than done. I'm sure there's many that have tried
Speaker 1: and said I'm never doing that again, because you know,
Speaker 1: you just connected on the internet on an app and
Speaker 1: you met somebody and it was a disaster. But there's
Speaker 1: also others that I'm sure right now or listening that
Speaker 1: have married somebody that they met on the internet or
Speaker 1: an app. So again, everybody's situation is different. But at
Speaker 1: least three or four years ago, there was a study
Speaker 1: that was done. This was right actually right around the
Speaker 1: pandemic that despite so many resources now available to meet
Speaker 1: and date, there was a much better success rate of
Speaker 1: meeting people and going on dates long ago. Yeah, back
Speaker 1: before people you know, you have to used to just
Speaker 1: have to walk up to somebody at a bar and say, hey,
Speaker 1: how you doing, what's your I'm Joe, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like nowadays you could be somebody that is
Speaker 1: my age or maybe a little older that that was
Speaker 1: never really the culture as far as meeting people, and
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that's why a lot of people don't
Speaker 1: even really know how to be socially had to socially
Speaker 1: interact with with folks and not be awkward and uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: But I just found that fascinating that despite all the
Speaker 1: new resources available, studies showed that it actually was easier
Speaker 1: to to date and really get to know people. And
Speaker 1: it's probably because you weren't doing on a device you
Speaker 1: were you know, there was eye to eye contact you could.
Speaker 1: You could get a read for somebody. So shout out
Speaker 1: to those that didn't have apps and phones and get
Speaker 1: the Internet, and they were able to actually, you know,
Speaker 1: meet people, establish relationships and you know, who knows, maybe
Speaker 1: they ended up meeting their significant other and had a
Speaker 1: life together, because you know, it's just it's a different world.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm sure there are the amount of different
Speaker 1: dating apps you can find now, the amount of them
Speaker 1: would probably surprise a lot of people.
Speaker 2: Well point, when I lived in San Diego, this was
Speaker 2: as recent as the late nineties, there was a video
Speaker 2: dating service. In full confession, raising my hand, I went
Speaker 2: to one as long before I met my.
Speaker 1: Own video dating service Tap.
Speaker 2: So you literally walk into this office space in San
Speaker 2: Diego and they have a wall of videotapes and they
Speaker 2: go through this filter process and you know what you're
Speaker 2: looking for. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then you grab the
Speaker 2: video tapeses like going to a video rental store. You
Speaker 2: grab the videotapes you want.
Speaker 3: You go sit. It's weird. You go sit in this
Speaker 3: room and.
Speaker 2: It's comfortable, it's tasteful, but you sit and watch these
Speaker 2: videotapes and people get on and just start talking about them.
Speaker 1: So the videotapes, it's basically somebody pitching themselves as a potent.
Speaker 3: It is. That's all it is.
Speaker 2: And it's weird. It's like your watch Love Connection when
Speaker 2: they sit in that little window.
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds weird just because that is that
Speaker 1: would be unheard of this day and age. But really
Speaker 1: it's it's essentially the same church difference too. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: the same process. It's just that's the way you did
Speaker 1: it when we didn't have the technology that we have now.
Speaker 3: Oh it was so expensive, dude.
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, they'd hit you up with
Speaker 2: you get that, they all get you with that initial
Speaker 2: fee it's like five hundred bucks. And then each time
Speaker 2: you go in it was like they hook it, maybe
Speaker 2: three free visits, and then each time you go to this.
Speaker 2: This is the late nineties, no mid nineties, ninety.
Speaker 1: Five, so at that point that was a lot of money.
Speaker 2: That was a lot of money, but it was San
Speaker 2: Diego too, so keep that in mind. And then and
Speaker 2: then you would pay like thirty bucks each time you
Speaker 2: went in for like say a half hour hour. It
Speaker 2: was bizarre and long story short. I never ended up
Speaker 2: seeing anybody I know that was interested. And I ironically
Speaker 2: met my wife just a few years later. She was
Speaker 2: walking off the dance floor a place called Buffalo Joe's
Speaker 2: in San Diego, and we met on a total whim and.
Speaker 3: Got together the next day. I didn't think we would
Speaker 3: And the rest is history.
Speaker 1: Well crazy, It is crazy how it all works out. Also,
Speaker 1: I mean that process in hearing the price. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a market for people want a companion, people want a relationship.
Speaker 1: They do, probably maybe even more so back then than now.
Speaker 1: Probably wasn't as socially, you know, and I guess everybody's
Speaker 1: normal is different. But yeah, that.
Speaker 3: People want companions, Yeah, and they'll pay good money for it.
Speaker 3: It's now more like survivor audition tape. Yeah, that's exactly right, John,
Speaker 3: that's exactly right.
Speaker 1: That's a wild, wild story. But again I hear you
Speaker 1: say that, I'm like, that's crazy. But again, back then,
Speaker 1: it's really the same thing. It's basically the same thing
Speaker 1: as a dating app. It's just again, technology was not
Speaker 1: what it is what it is now and stuff. All right,
Speaker 1: quick break, we've got another update on traffic and weather
Speaker 1: coming your way right here on news radio eight forty
Speaker 1: Whas it's seven forty six here at Kentucky and it's
Speaker 1: morning news. We've got another update on sports coming your
Speaker 1: way in about nine minutes from from Scott Fitzgerald.
Speaker 3: Dude, I had to look up. I didn't mean it
Speaker 3: BoNT be out there.
Speaker 2: I had to look up and see if that dating
Speaker 2: service was still in San Diego, and I can't believe
Speaker 2: it's still there.
Speaker 3: Dude.
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny. We've had people tweeting in and I
Speaker 1: still have a text line from our own show. But
Speaker 1: people are sharing that they've met their significant other on
Speaker 1: different dating apps, which again I tried to emphasize that
Speaker 1: it's probably worked for a lot of folks, but I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's there's many stories on both sides of where
Speaker 1: it has been a disaster or it's been I can't
Speaker 1: believe I was able to utilize this service, this platform,
Speaker 1: meeting the app, and I've met the love of my
Speaker 1: life and now we have a great life together. Maybe
Speaker 1: you even have kids together. Because again, these things have
Speaker 1: been around for a long time. And if you're wondering
Speaker 1: why this is coming up, is because there is a
Speaker 1: new I guess, a new feature within the Tender app
Speaker 1: that you can pay more money. I suppose if I guess,
Speaker 1: you could do it maybe on the on the male
Speaker 1: side or the female side, that will let you determine
Speaker 1: if somebody's height is actually what they claim it is.
Speaker 1: And some of the some of the I guess shortfellows
Speaker 1: that are a little upset that maybe they're going to
Speaker 1: get checked, you know, get that height check. They're wondering
Speaker 1: if they can get like a weight check and all that. So,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think that a platform like Tender
Speaker 1: would implement such a change if they weren't well aware
Speaker 1: that there was going to be some pushback. But they
Speaker 1: think that it might make their it might make their
Speaker 1: platform maybe different than others. However, there's also some that
Speaker 1: have said there's I guess Bumble is another competitor.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, Courtney Donahoe talked about.
Speaker 1: That Bumble is a competitor and they've had a height
Speaker 1: filter before, so yes, Tender's not. I guess Tender's just
Speaker 1: kind of following the lead of somebody else. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the Internet. I sometimes wonder what life was
Speaker 1: like pre Internet. And I'm old enough to where I
Speaker 1: feel like, as a kid, we didn't have like we
Speaker 1: had dial up when I was old enough to I
Speaker 1: guess hit middle school, but even then, like we had connection,
Speaker 1: but you couldn't do anything like you can now on
Speaker 1: the Internet. So I feel like if I was a kid,
Speaker 1: and this is going to sound like a you know,
Speaker 1: back in my day, we didn't have devices we can
Speaker 1: have tablets. We had like Nintendo, and that was cool.
Speaker 1: But now, I mean, and I'm guilty as any like
Speaker 1: my kids, if you know, there's there's downtime, they're just
Speaker 1: connected to a screen more than they should be. And
Speaker 1: if I was their age and things were like that
Speaker 1: during my childhood, I'd probably be the same way and
Speaker 1: hopefully things would have worked out. But I feel like
Speaker 1: the Internet really took off at a time convenient for
Speaker 1: me to get a little bit of both where I
Speaker 1: ran around as a kid, and I didn't spend a
Speaker 1: ton of time just inside on a computer because even
Speaker 1: when we played video games, I mean, there wasn't a
Speaker 1: whole lot to it. Now you can you can be
Speaker 1: eight years old, fire up your PlayStation and play against
Speaker 1: somebody in Taiwan. I mean that's just it's a it's
Speaker 1: a much much different world. And I oftentimes talk about
Speaker 1: when it comes to this broadcasting. I've never ever been
Speaker 1: on the air when it comes to radio and not
Speaker 1: been able to rely on the Internet to help me
Speaker 1: do what I do. And back in the day, it
Speaker 1: wasn't like that. Right you come in with your with
Speaker 1: your notes and your paper and you're jotting stuff down,
Speaker 1: you're reading the newspaper, and oftentimes I don't even need it.
Speaker 1: But just if there was a situation where I'm in
Speaker 1: front of this big screen, in front of this big
Speaker 1: spaceship looking board that is, you know, powering this this
Speaker 1: this show it. I mean, if I just on the
Speaker 1: screen it showed me that I wasn't connected, I would
Speaker 1: I would probably start spinning my wheels, like like we
Speaker 1: need to go.
Speaker 3: To break well, that's when people do it or like
Speaker 3: a panic attack. If the internet goes out, people are like,
Speaker 3: oh gotta go home.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, But you know interesting you bring that up,
Speaker 2: because I was gonna ask you how you approach it
Speaker 2: with your son. I guess we can talk about another
Speaker 2: segment because I went through my son is on the
Speaker 2: Internet too long stage with my own kid. Turned out,
Speaker 2: he was fine. He's turned out to be great. Now
Speaker 2: he's working for the Reds this summer. He's going to
Speaker 2: be a junior Xavier. Looking back, I think I may
Speaker 2: have overreacted.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked that because we have recently, my
Speaker 1: wife and I just decided if we are around family, friends,
Speaker 1: or we're at dinner somewhere, put it up, you know, like,
Speaker 1: you know, because that's where we need, you know, because
Speaker 1: it just becomes a zombiere you know. No, I think
Speaker 1: it's normal for parents to monitor that stuff. I really do.
Speaker 1: We got sports coming your way, but before that, another
Speaker 1: update on trafficking and weather right here on Kentucky Has
