WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.200 Thank you John seven oh four here a Kentucky had 2 00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:05.320 his morning news on news Ready eight forty whas Nick 3 00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:08.960 Coffee with you back for day two and after day 4 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.199 one I already had two new supporters. I really didn't 5 00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.160 know what to expect when it comes to the reaction 6 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:20.199 to day one. But Richard on Twitter did tell me 7 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:22.879 he sent this after the show in diod yesterday, for 8 00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.559 the first time in twenty one years, my wife and 9 00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.120 I woke up in bed. Was someone different, good first show, 10 00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.759 So Richard, it was an honor a privilege to wake 11 00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:34.600 up in bed with you and your wife yesterday. 12 00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:37.039 I've heard that from people they would come up in 13 00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.159 like the State there when we were out there, like, yeah, 14 00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:40.320 we lay in bed and listen to you. 15 00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:44.640 I remember, I remember whenever I was on seven ninety 16 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:47.799 and I used to think that was early. I learned 17 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:49.640 my first day coming into the morning show there that 18 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:50.960 you guys had already been up and at it for 19 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.439 many hours when I started. But I remember I told 20 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.759 Will Clark one one morning that I start every morning 21 00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.359 in the shower with him. Yeah, And I realized after 22 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:01.479 I'd said that that that that probably didn't come out 23 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:02.840 the same way. But he knew what I meant. 24 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:04.200 I was just going to ask you are you Are 25 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:05.599 you a person who likes to because I like to 26 00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:06.959 listen to music while I'm in the shower. 27 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.120 I even had one of those shower radios back in 28 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:09.599 the day. 29 00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.359 So morning showers for me, as if the last couple 30 00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:14.959 of days, I'm more zombie, I'm kind of just I'm 31 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.719 not sure I'm actually awake. But typically, yeah, if I'm 32 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:19.319 going to listen to something in the shower, I'm more 33 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:19.879 so music. 34 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.159 Yeah, music, or nobody has shower radios anymore. I just 35 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:24.120 take my phone outside the. 36 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.359 Same thing, or like one of those echo speakers or whatnot, right, which, 37 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:28.680 by the way, gives me a chance to let you 38 00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:30.400 guys know, you can always take us with you wherever 39 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:32.719 you go. Listen live on your iHeartRadio app, and you 40 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.719 can also listen live at at whas dot com. So obviously, 41 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.519 big story from yesterday and of course even today is 42 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.719 addressing what took place on Barchtown Road in the Highlands 43 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.159 area over the last couple of weekends. And you know, 44 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.719 I've been really not going out of my way, but 45 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:50.400 this is of course something that a lot of people 46 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.640 have have comments on and one of the things I 47 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.959 saw yesterday was that they believe the last two weeks 48 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.840 were more were as bad as they were due to 49 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.560 people out celebrating graduations, which maybe that's the case, but 50 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.159 like either way, that still shouldn't happen at all. And 51 00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.120 you know, my thoughts earlier that I shared is that 52 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.319 this happening anywhere should be addressed. I think a lot 53 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.120 of people who are just used to the Highlands and 54 00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:13.919 maybe they used to go out to the bars in 55 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.319 their younger years when they were in their twenties thirties, 56 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:17.919 and maybe that was a long time ago, maybe it 57 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.199 was just ten years ago. They're just, I guess surprised 58 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.159 to hear that these kind of things are taking place 59 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.360 in that area, just because they weren't used to seeing that. 60 00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.360 Where people would just basically flood the streets. You have 61 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.759 people jumping on cars trying to disarm security. Obviously, I 62 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:33.879 mean that shouldn't take place anywhere. I think the local 63 00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.759 noise about wow, what's happened to the Highlands is one thing, 64 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:41.960 but I'm sure Craig Greenberg as well as as Chief Humphrey, 65 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.159 this is something that regardless of wherever it's happening, they would, 66 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.439 they would, they would want to address but if they do, 67 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.439 decide to shut down bars earlier, or at least tell 68 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.439 them that they can't stay open as late as they've 69 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.759 been staying open for a long time. Scott, do you 70 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:56.960 think that would? I mean, it can't hurt. 71 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.240 It can't hurt, not at all. And I think you 72 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.879 at this point you have to do something. But let's 73 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.759 be honest here and let's call out what it is. 74 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.439 Bartstown Road is changing. 75 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.520 I mean, Louvino closed down their location on Bardstown Road. 76 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.120 Okay, they still got what I believe it's out in Jeffersonville. 77 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.719 I want to say, but Bardstown Road is not the 78 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.680 same Bardstown Road it was just ten fifteen years ago. 79 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.159 I've been here over twenty. 80 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.319 Five years and Bartstown Road is not because my wife 81 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:24.719 told me when I first moved here, she because we 82 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.080 are going to hang out of Bartstown Road. In fact, 83 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.639 for Valentine's Day, we went to Ramsey's. Ramsey's one of 84 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.400 our favorite restaurants. We love Ramsey's. 85 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.919 But even when we were leaving then we're like, this 86 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:34.439 is not. 87 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:36.719 The same Bardstown Road. And I don't know if NEWLU 88 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:38.639 has something to do with that. I'm just gonna be 89 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.560 honest here, because we've been to both. We like Newlu 90 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.639 and we like that main drag down Newlu, but we 91 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.919 like Bartstown Road. But there aren't the same businesses that 92 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.879 were at Bartstown Road that were before. And neighborhoods change, 93 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.240 Nick they we know this. You go back to your 94 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.280 old neighborhood where you grew up, I'll bitch, it's vastly 95 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.240 different than what it was when you were there. And 96 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.360 I experienced that when I went home. So Bardstown Road 97 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.080 is changing, if you're asking me on a personal level. 98 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.520 One L and PD is doing an amazing job with 99 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.000 the resources they have to keep this the best they can. 100 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.319 And I don't think anybody's not in agreement with that, 101 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.280 at least from the social media posts I've read. 102 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:14.759 I have read some disturbing. 103 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.319 Social media posts on this. There's some folks that clearly 104 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.600 there's a lot to be learned there. But on the 105 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.800 same token, this too shell pass and eventually these riots 106 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:25.680 will start to subside. 107 00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.079 Remember we went through this with Derby cruising, and people, yeah. 108 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.040 People were I was I was very young, but yes, 109 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:32.079 I remember Derby cursing. 110 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:33.439 People were all up in arms about that. 111 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.879 And then that seemed to subside, and neighborhoods Ebb and 112 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.920 Flow and Bardstown Road will find its sort of renaissance 113 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:41.959 because that's where I think they are. 114 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.079 But I think makes Barchtown Road first of all, it 115 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.199 is it's one of the easily one of the more 116 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.759 known areas of Louisville. And you're right, neighborhoods areas there. 117 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.399 They become a lot different after a decade or so. 118 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.519 But if you've lived there, you know, people live in 119 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.839 their home probably more often than some businesses stick around. 120 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.639 There's a certain place that could be three four different 121 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.279 businesses in the amount of times somebody's called it, you know, 122 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.240 within a block, they've called that their home for a 123 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.439 long time. So if you live there, you see it, 124 00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:13.800 you know, changing all the time. I guess you really 125 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.399 never know what you're going to expect. 126 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.120 I mean, look at look at Mid City Mall. Yeah, 127 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.000 we'll try to find a buyer from Mid City Mall now. 128 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.560 So I mean it happens, the Highlands will be fine. Yeah, 129 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:24.839 it's just not in a good place right now. 130 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:26.680 I think if they were, if they were to let 131 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.279 everybody know that if you have bars, restaurants, she can't 132 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.279 stay open until four am anymore. You're gonna have to 133 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.079 close it down around one. I don't know just how 134 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:35.560 much that would help, but again I don't think it 135 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:36.680 could hurt, and I think it would be a good 136 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.120 faith gesture for the business owners who are saying, look, 137 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.480 we hear you, We believe you do understand this is 138 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.360 an issue, but we need it fixed. This has become 139 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.120 too much. All right, Another update of trafficking weather's coming 140 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.199 your way. It's seven to ten here on Kentucky Its 141 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:54.639 Morning News news Radio eight forty whas seven fifteen Here 142 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.319 at news radioa forty whas, Nick Coffee, if you will 143 00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.160 have another update on sports coming up at about ten 144 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.079 minutes from Scott Fitzgerald, and of course something he'd mentioned 145 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.160 earlier this morning, and it is big news little of baseball. 146 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.920 They are back hosting superregionals for the first time since 147 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:13.600 twenty nineteen, which just sounds wrong, but it's not. It 148 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.680 sounds as if it's been, you know, just a couple 149 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.079 of years, because when it comes to postseason baseball, Jim Patterson, 150 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.399 it became really an annual thing to where you'd host 151 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.240 regionals and mostly superregionals. But obviously in recent years, especially 152 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.839 in the New World with the portal and NIL, it's 153 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.199 just been an adjustment. So a big postseason thus far 154 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.079 for Dan McDonald's one that was certainly needed, just because 155 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.600 again he'd set the standard pretty high early on, and 156 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:40.759 you know, last few years were not nearly as good 157 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.439 as what he had done for a good chunk of 158 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.079 his time here at UL. So now they're going to 159 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.120 host Miami this weekend for the Superregionals that'll get started 160 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.759 on Friday, and they're just two wins away from getting 161 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:52.319 back to Omaha, which would be easier said than done 162 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:54.000 to get there, but that would be that'd be special 163 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:54.959 for them, no doubt. 164 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.240 Well, how blessed are we nick to have two facilities 165 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.000 like one of my favorite places to go here, I 166 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:02.839 have two places to have a cool vibe when it 167 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.120 comes to sports. Obviously, the Young Center stands alone on 168 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.000 its own, but I'm talking about when I get to 169 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.000 go to a loose city game or a racing game. 170 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.199 Lynn Family Stadiums got an amazing vibe, but Jim Patterson 171 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.480 Stadium on the corner, there's nothing I look forward to 172 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:18.879 more than going down there, and my son always wants 173 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:20.839 to go there when there's gaming Time's a big level 174 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.720 baseball fan and it was interesting when Jim Patterson put 175 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:25.800 his name on that. You remember a chance was free 176 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.480 forever and what a great marketing too one. Obviously, there 177 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.279 was some pushback when they said, Okay, we're gonna start 178 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.480 charging for a sec games in the Kentucky game, which 179 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:34.160 I totally get. 180 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.959 I mean, you gotta pay for something, sure. 181 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.319 And I think you eased a lot of people's minds 182 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.040 the other day when we were talking about it, and 183 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:41.759 so many. 184 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.800 People are like, well, damn McDonald leaving? Is he leaving? 185 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.160 And your response was simple, is where's he going to go? 186 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.879 And I think you brought up a great point, and 187 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:52.120 I think Dan stays here. I hope It's long been 188 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.879 said he doesn't get the support. Sometimes he thinks he 189 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.040 should and I shouldn't say he maybe others think that way. 190 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.800 Well, what has happened is that I think at the 191 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.920 time he was turning down bigger jobs, he had realized 192 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:08.480 that he's clearly built a program that has everything you'd need. 193 00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:11.160 He's been to Omaha many times. A breakthrough and then 194 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.480 winning the College World Series for a good stretch of 195 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.279 his career would not have been viewed as a shocker. 196 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:19.519 I mean they were due for one and then the 197 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.720 world changed. You have to pay players and you have 198 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:24.480 guys that can just up and leave and not have 199 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:29.079 to sit out. And I think resources at SEC programs 200 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:30.360 are a little bit better. They've got a little bit 201 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:32.519 more money to go get players. So I think that 202 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.759 was part of why he had struggled in recent years. 203 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.440 So to have this breakthrough season where they had a 204 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.840 good year then just enter the postseason really cold, to 205 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.320 now be just two months away from Omaha, I mean, 206 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:45.799 I don't think anybody would would doubt that Dan McDonald 207 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:47.440 is a good coach. They can get it done. But 208 00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:49.879 you did wonder can he really get back to where 209 00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.919 he was in the new world with so much things 210 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.360 different and so far this postseason run that they're currently 211 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.600 in right now, I mean, that could go a long way. 212 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.279 And it's with college baseball. The postseason is interesting. I 213 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.639 love seeing and I won't be a phony and act 214 00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:06.480 like I watched a lot of it, But in the postseason, 215 00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:09.679 of course, it's it's much more visible on television and whatnot, 216 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:11.919 and you could just see how much the players are 217 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.279 well aware that this is their time to shine. They're 218 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:16.559 on TV much more than they really ever are, and 219 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.919 they're into it and that kind of stuff. I think 220 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.559 it can hook, It can hook fans. And not to 221 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.559 say that this is something that you want every day 222 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:26.120 in college sports, but I think when you can add 223 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.320 some drama, some fire, I think that that alone can 224 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.919 help get people interested. And that's what we had over 225 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:33.600 the weekend. I don't know if you guys saw this, but 226 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.519 Florida head coach Kevin O'Sullivan, he's he's since issued an apology, 227 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.240 but he was not happy when it comes to I 228 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.720 guess the field conditions. And this is really where I 229 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:45.240 want to play this clip for you guys really quickly here, 230 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.639 because this is just something you don't often see a 231 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.279 coach at a program like Coastal Carolina calling out a 232 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.159 coach at Florida, who, by the way, is a national 233 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.840 championship coach in this manner. And again the coach has 234 00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:00.080 since apologized for it, but I think this is the 235 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.639 type of clip, not saying you just can manufacture this drama, 236 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.120 but I'm sure this this view, which by the way, 237 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.320 I'm about to play the clip for you, this has 238 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.399 over four million views, and I think that speaks to 239 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:12.159 if you had more coaches being honest and real and 240 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.639 just not afraid to call somebody out, it might bring 241 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:16.320 a little bit more interest their way. 242 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.559 Dad's work has never done. Has Father's Day gifts for 243 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:22.000 every dad from time. 244 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:23.799 I don't know where that was coming from. Apologies, that's 245 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.159 not the sound I want to play here. Well, here 246 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:29.399 we go, I apologized. Where does that coming? 247 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:34.799 I don't know where. Try that and try that now 248 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.360 the moment might have passed. It's yeah, never mind, here 249 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.360 we go. So again, I only bring that up because 250 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.159 that's not something you typically here. And I think that 251 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:49.440 brought a little more attention to the college baseball postseason, 252 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.080 which that could get people to stick around a little 253 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.240 longer because I'm telling you it's a pretty competitive, but 254 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.279 pretty fiery I mean these guys, I mean, this is 255 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.159 their time to shine. It's winter or go home. And 256 00:10:58.200 --> 00:10:59.679 there have already been a lot of upsets there. So 257 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:01.840 that's so Carolina coach Kevin Schnall, which, by the way, 258 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.440 there was a somebody was filming on their cell phone 259 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.480 when the coach at Florida was in fact talking to 260 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.960 some folks about the facilities, and wasn't a good look 261 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.519 for him. Not a surprise that he has since come 262 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.840 out and apologize. But quick break, we've. 263 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:16.600 Got some sports coming up on the other side with Scott. 264 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.919 Also another update on trafficking weather right here on News 265 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:24.000 readyweight forty whas. Thank you, John. It is seven thirty 266 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.080 four here at Kentucky this morning news on News Ready 267 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:30.519 eight forty whas. You know. This may surprise some of you, 268 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.559 but it's true. Tony Venette has given me a lot 269 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:37.080 of good advice over the years. In fact, Tony Venetti 270 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:40.799 has said things to me that I'm thinking, Okay, this guy, 271 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.879 what's he talking about. He's I'll let him finish, but 272 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:45.679 I don't believe a word he says. And he ends 273 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.399 up being right. But I don't know if he's right 274 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.480 about this, but maybe he'll end up proving me wrong. 275 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:54.360 But yesterday he was giving feedback on the show and said, 276 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.799 you guys just should just just get right to it. 277 00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.320 We don't need to talk about Tony Cruz anymore, and 278 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.240 we need to just, you know, just just get right 279 00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.639 to it. Get right to it. And I said, well, 280 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.759 I mean, I feel like people may want to know 281 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.679 who they're listening to. And he said, people don't care. Oh, 282 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.279 and I'm thinking, well, what he means is that just 283 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:14.960 get to the news, get to the topics that people 284 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.879 are interested in, which he's right. But I also think 285 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:19.320 when you have a guy that's sitting here for you know, 286 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.440 twenty plus years, and now he's not and there's a 287 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:27.159 new person, I think it's understandable, especially in that day, 288 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.919 to at least let people know who I am and 289 00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:32.279 you'll learn more about me over the years. Hopefully I'm 290 00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:34.240 here for many years. But one thing that you may 291 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.120 not know, I'm married. My wife and I guess she 292 00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:38.799 would call us high school sweethearts. And the reason I 293 00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.720 share this is because I missed out on the whole. 294 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:44.399 And if you're listening, honey, I'm glad I missed out. 295 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:47.360 I'm lucky. But I don't know. I can't relate to 296 00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:49.879 the dating culture of apps. I mean, this is not 297 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:51.480 a new thing. These have been around for a long 298 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:55.159 time now. But there's apparently a new feature on Tender 299 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.240 that has I don't know if it's controversial, but fellas 300 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:00.360 that are on the shorter side are unhappy because because 301 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:04.240 Tender has now added a height filter that I guess 302 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:06.759 is a premium feature where women will have I guess 303 00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:10.200 the better, the better ability to determine if if the 304 00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:13.279 guy that they're talking to is is as tall as 305 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:15.799 what they're seeking. My question is, I mean, how do 306 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.320 you know? Like you can? I mean you can lie 307 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:19.960 right like maybe they maybe you got to take a 308 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:22.399 picture of your ID if you're a dude, and and 309 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.399 that's the way they trust that you're actually the height 310 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:27.600 that you list. But short kings are upset. 311 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.000 So that's that brings up an age old question and 312 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.200 that's that's a good take, Nick, because if your lady 313 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:34.919 is height a big deal? 314 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:38.039 I'd say it is for many especially if Tender's going 315 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:41.600 to implement this feature, right, I mean, wow, I know 316 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.039 so what I find not maybe this has changed over 317 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.480 the years, because this is just something that was actually 318 00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:48.960 from many years ago and it just stood out to 319 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.279 me because I was very surprised by it and fascinated honestly. 320 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.799 But despite now with the Internet and all these different apps, 321 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:57.919 I mean, there's an app if you're not only looking 322 00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:01.039 for some companionship, you're looking for a signific other, and 323 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.399 you're looking for one that has a specific thing that 324 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:07.440 she that she likes, enjoys you could probably find a 325 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:10.840 dedicated platform for that. I mean, that's not unheard of. 326 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.960 So I bring that up to say that, really, with 327 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:16.360 your phone and all the different apps, there's a lot 328 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.559 of ways you can try to find somebody now easier 329 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:20.440 said than done. I'm sure there's many that have tried 330 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.639 and said I'm never doing that again, because you know, 331 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:25.080 you just connected on the internet on an app and 332 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:27.200 you met somebody and it was a disaster. But there's 333 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:29.559 also others that I'm sure right now or listening that 334 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:31.799 have married somebody that they met on the internet or 335 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.360 an app. So again, everybody's situation is different. But at 336 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:37.559 least three or four years ago, there was a study 337 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:39.480 that was done. This was right actually right around the 338 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:44.559 pandemic that despite so many resources now available to meet 339 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:50.000 and date, there was a much better success rate of 340 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.240 meeting people and going on dates long ago. Yeah, back 341 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:56.600 before people you know, you have to used to just 342 00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.799 have to walk up to somebody at a bar and say, hey, 343 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.320 how you doing, what's your I'm Joe, you know what 344 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:04.840 I mean? Like nowadays you could be somebody that is 345 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.320 my age or maybe a little older that that was 346 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:11.200 never really the culture as far as meeting people, and 347 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:13.919 you know, maybe that's why a lot of people don't 348 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.039 even really know how to be socially had to socially 349 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:19.320 interact with with folks and not be awkward and uncomfortable. 350 00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:22.039 But I just found that fascinating that despite all the 351 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:25.600 new resources available, studies showed that it actually was easier 352 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:28.240 to to date and really get to know people. And 353 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.399 it's probably because you weren't doing on a device you 354 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.120 were you know, there was eye to eye contact you could. 355 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:36.320 You could get a read for somebody. So shout out 356 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:40.159 to those that didn't have apps and phones and get 357 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:42.279 the Internet, and they were able to actually, you know, 358 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.559 meet people, establish relationships and you know, who knows, maybe 359 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:47.960 they ended up meeting their significant other and had a 360 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.879 life together, because you know, it's just it's a different world. 361 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.679 But yeah, I'm sure there are the amount of different 362 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.440 dating apps you can find now, the amount of them 363 00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:59.240 would probably surprise a lot of people. 364 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.399 Well point, when I lived in San Diego, this was 365 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:05.919 as recent as the late nineties, there was a video 366 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:09.960 dating service. In full confession, raising my hand, I went 367 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:11.320 to one as long before I met my. 368 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:12.639 Own video dating service Tap. 369 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:16.840 So you literally walk into this office space in San 370 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:21.240 Diego and they have a wall of videotapes and they 371 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:23.320 go through this filter process and you know what you're 372 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.240 looking for. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then you grab the 373 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:28.639 video tapeses like going to a video rental store. You 374 00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:30.080 grab the videotapes you want. 375 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:32.559 You go sit. It's weird. You go sit in this 376 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:33.519 room and. 377 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.679 It's comfortable, it's tasteful, but you sit and watch these 378 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:39.240 videotapes and people get on and just start talking about them. 379 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:42.320 So the videotapes, it's basically somebody pitching themselves as a potent. 380 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:43.360 It is. That's all it is. 381 00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:45.799 And it's weird. It's like your watch Love Connection when 382 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:46.840 they sit in that little window. 383 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.240 I mean it sounds weird just because that is that 384 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.480 would be unheard of this day and age. But really 385 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.759 it's it's essentially the same church difference too. Yeah, it's 386 00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:56.919 the same process. It's just that's the way you did 387 00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.720 it when we didn't have the technology that we have now. 388 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:01.559 Oh it was so expensive, dude. 389 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:03.080 I mean, first of all, they'd hit you up with 390 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:05.160 you get that, they all get you with that initial 391 00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:08.400 fee it's like five hundred bucks. And then each time 392 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:10.799 you go in it was like they hook it, maybe 393 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:13.400 three free visits, and then each time you go to this. 394 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:16.319 This is the late nineties, no mid nineties, ninety. 395 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.400 Five, so at that point that was a lot of money. 396 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.240 That was a lot of money, but it was San 397 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:22.920 Diego too, so keep that in mind. And then and 398 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:25.119 then you would pay like thirty bucks each time you 399 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.920 went in for like say a half hour hour. It 400 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:31.279 was bizarre and long story short. I never ended up 401 00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.599
