Speaker 1: All right, let's see if I remember how to do this.
Speaker 1: It is. It's five oh five here.
Speaker 2: At Kentucky and his Morning News Coffee and Company on
Speaker 2: News Radio eight forty whas. That's it, right, That's how
Speaker 2: we start the show each and every day. I'm happy back, brother,
Speaker 2: I am happy to be back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, good to have you back.
Speaker 2: For those who've already forgot about me, my name's Nick Coffee,
Speaker 2: and I'm here with you and hopefully going to be
Speaker 2: here with you for a while every morning to get
Speaker 2: things started. But yeah, nice to get a vacation, but
Speaker 2: certainly nice to be back with the team. The voice
Speaker 2: you heard there was the one and only Scott Fitzgerald,
Speaker 2: the company man. I still call him that, John Allen.
Speaker 2: He's alongside of courses always. And then we've got John Shannon,
Speaker 2: which I haven't seen him yet, but I assume he's here.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's got vacation I didn't know about here.
Speaker 1: Okay, good.
Speaker 2: I would have extended said vacation if I wasn't going
Speaker 2: to be able to reunite with the full team. But
Speaker 2: we're here and we are ready to up. I mean
Speaker 2: I realized during this vacation I was telling Scott about
Speaker 2: this right before we turned these microphones on and started
Speaker 2: gapping that this was a real eye opener for me
Speaker 2: as far as just the difference in doing this type
Speaker 2: of radio show show compared to being on the sports
Speaker 2: side because a variety of reasons. But what I didn't
Speaker 2: think about, but here I am realizing I really needed
Speaker 2: and man, it was awesome to have a nice, a
Speaker 2: nice week long vacation to just get away that you know,
Speaker 2: I didn't really not that I didn't miss you, guys.
Speaker 2: I did. I missed you badly, and I'm sure you
Speaker 2: missed me too. But it was like the first time
Speaker 2: in a long time I went on a trip where
Speaker 2: I really never thought much about work. And I think
Speaker 2: a lot of people I don't. I don't think it's
Speaker 2: I don't think it's unusual for people to try. But
Speaker 2: still it'd be a hard thing to completely remove yourself
Speaker 2: from work when you're on vacation, because you know when
Speaker 2: you go back, you're thinking about what you're gonna be
Speaker 2: walking into.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, my wife used to check her emails religiously, and
Speaker 4: that's one thing I'm good about, is the boundaries.
Speaker 3: When I'm on vacation, bro, I'm not checking the emails.
Speaker 5: I'm not.
Speaker 4: I mean, I might dial in on the way home
Speaker 4: just so I don't get caught off guard.
Speaker 1: But that's the way to do it.
Speaker 2: Bing, Go give it a little, a little glance, right,
Speaker 2: don't deep into it, don't because then you'll then you'll
Speaker 2: really start getting that anxiety. Oh man, I'm walking back
Speaker 2: into Like I told myself one I didn't i'd be
Speaker 2: walking into any kind of mess mony means. But regardless,
Speaker 2: ill when I get back to work, that's when I'll
Speaker 2: that's when I'll deal with it. But my wife did
Speaker 2: the same thing, Scott, I swear to you on on.
Speaker 1: So we had we were there.
Speaker 2: We got there Saturday of last weekend and then flew
Speaker 2: back yesterday, so it was it was a long trip
Speaker 2: for us. But by by Saturday we was our last
Speaker 2: full day. But we had a full day, meaning we
Speaker 2: would wake up the next morning and yesterday morning and
Speaker 2: we go to the airport, so it was still a day.
Speaker 2: If it wasn't like we had to start packing or
Speaker 2: check out. We just knew that when we go to bed,
Speaker 2: hey let's load up because we got.
Speaker 1: Hit the airport in the morning. Well, we're at the pool.
Speaker 2: It's like eleven am and she she she pulls open
Speaker 2: the email, and I'm like.
Speaker 1: Why would you do that exactly?
Speaker 2: And I get it, but I'm like, yeah, you had
Speaker 2: to know that was going to completely changed her vibe
Speaker 2: of our last day until I until I snapped her
Speaker 2: out of it because I'm thinking, what are you doing?
Speaker 4: Yep, you get back and you start prioritizing your returns
Speaker 4: and who you're going to email back there at least
Speaker 4: that's what I do.
Speaker 3: And then I get back and I look, okay, this
Speaker 3: is hot. We got to address this now.
Speaker 4: Let's put this down here, let's move this here, and ultimately,
Speaker 4: by about Wednesday or Thursday, stuff starts to equal out.
Speaker 3: I've done this dance enough times, and I used to
Speaker 3: be like your wife.
Speaker 4: I used to check religiously, especially here, and then I
Speaker 4: realized the world survives without me for a few days
Speaker 4: and when you prioritize it on your way back. So
Speaker 4: I'm glad you were able to get away and just
Speaker 4: really disconnect, because it will bog you down if you
Speaker 4: don't get that chance to breathe. And you text me
Speaker 4: a picture of your beautiful daughter and yourself repping that
Speaker 4: Piston's jersey appreciate that, bro, what a beautiful moment that is.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 4: And just in fact, I just sent my wife a picture.
Speaker 4: It popped up in my memories and my son and
Speaker 4: I at a Reds game about eight years ago, and
Speaker 4: I was blown away that how long ago eight years feels.
Speaker 1: We probably still look like a little kid then, right.
Speaker 3: Ringo, And when you get to this point.
Speaker 4: And so I thought of you when I saw that picture,
Speaker 4: because I thought of you with your daughter, and I'm like, dude,
Speaker 4: it's so awesome that you get to just die. And
Speaker 4: that's what we did. We went to a Reds game
Speaker 4: and I totally dialed out. We spent the weekend in
Speaker 4: Cincinnati and I never looked at em.
Speaker 2: And it's it's nice to reflect back on that and
Speaker 2: realize in the moment you were in the moment, right absolutely.
Speaker 1: I tell you what the this is something I know.
Speaker 2: Vacation is usually done in the summer, especially if you've
Speaker 2: got kids in the school system and whatnot. You can
Speaker 2: still go on trips anytime you want, any time of
Speaker 2: the year. So I would wreckon if you have a
Speaker 2: family where you just get kind of lost in the
Speaker 2: cycle right of every day. I mean, it's just it's
Speaker 2: such it's busy, routine work, whatever schedule your kids have,
Speaker 2: Like you just you start to just get in the
Speaker 2: rhythm and routine and you don't kind of stop in.
Speaker 1: I needed my time.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they needed it, and I'm sure
Speaker 2: maybe they're enjoying the break that they got when Dad
Speaker 2: left the house this morning at three forty five am.
Speaker 2: But I needed that time with my family. So such
Speaker 2: a consistent thing for first I mean, no real breaks
Speaker 2: from each other. And you know, I think there's times
Speaker 2: where I'm like, I don't know, man, maybe I'll need
Speaker 2: a break here and there. But I didn't get it,
Speaker 2: and it was great. We just we spent a lot
Speaker 2: of good time together and I know I needed it.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they did, and I'm not sure
Speaker 2: if they feel the same way, but uh yeah, always
Speaker 2: nice to get a vacation. I'd recommend just get away,
Speaker 2: get disconnected, and spend time with each other. You may
Speaker 2: want to rip each other's hair out here and there,
Speaker 2: but you'll you'll you'll fight through that and it'll be
Speaker 2: a good experience for you.
Speaker 3: I good for you, brother. Sounds like a great trip.
Speaker 2: I'm happy to be back for sure. All right, we've
Speaker 2: got to check at traffic in weather coming your way.
Speaker 2: We'll also get a sports update from Scott coming up
Speaker 2: here in about fifteen minutes or so, and then we'll
Speaker 2: have John Shannon with the latest newscast around five thirty. Look,
Speaker 2: I remember the form out of the show. Look at
Speaker 2: that not showing too much rust. Maybe I'll regret saying that,
Speaker 2: but anyhow, we got a lot to get to. What
Speaker 2: I want to get to on the other side is
Speaker 2: how about some props. I think it's I think we
Speaker 2: need to throw some props at JCPS for what was
Speaker 2: seemingly a smooth return to school. He'll go anywhere, stick
Speaker 2: with us. Right here, it is Coffee and Company, Kentucky
Speaker 2: in his morning news here on news radio. Wait forty whas.
Speaker 1: That's right. It is Monday.
Speaker 2: It is the first Monday of the school year for
Speaker 2: students at JCPS. They went back to school on Thursday,
Speaker 2: and I was so caught up in vacation, which I'm
Speaker 2: glad it was that way that I wasn't sitting around thinking, hmm,
Speaker 2: I wonder how things went for JCPS. And really, John,
Speaker 2: I wish I would have done this long long ago.
Speaker 2: But you you've you're an old soul because you don't
Speaker 2: spend near as much time connected to your device scrolling
Speaker 2: on social media platforms like I do, and I now
Speaker 2: don't do that quite as much. I didn't do it
Speaker 2: as much on vacation and I just and I just
Speaker 2: realized it because I didn't see anything about JCPS as
Speaker 2: far as how things went. And it was to two reasons,
Speaker 2: I think, one because I wasn't as plugged in my
Speaker 2: phone as I as I usually am, but also there
Speaker 2: wasn't any national story to share about JCPS going back
Speaker 2: to school and it being a nightmare. And that's good.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's good. For the first time in years,
Speaker 2: it seems like they they had a really smooth, nearly
Speaker 2: flawless opening day comparatively speaking. I mean, that's that's that's
Speaker 2: what you want now again kind of sounds weird, like, wow,
Speaker 2: the school system got kids to school way to go,
Speaker 2: Like it's given credit for something that should just be
Speaker 2: the bottom line expectation. But let's be real that has
Speaker 2: been an issue for them with a lot of factors
Speaker 2: at play, resources being one of them, and also just
Speaker 2: relying on things that did not work the way you intended.
Speaker 1: Them to work. But yeah, it.
Speaker 2: Sounds like things were smooth, and I mean I think
Speaker 2: you even had comments from folks that are on the
Speaker 2: board claiming that this is this is the best open
Speaker 2: the smoothest opening day they've had in years, and that's
Speaker 2: you know, many years. It's far it's hard to know
Speaker 2: exactly how to rank them as far as each year,
Speaker 2: how smooth was your return to school? But when you
Speaker 2: got a new superintendent for a school system like JCPS,
Speaker 2: that is that is clearly going to mean. That's one
Speaker 2: thing I'll say in this still new role to me,
Speaker 2: being more so news talk than sports talk, is JCPS
Speaker 2: is going to always be, you know, a talking point
Speaker 2: to an extent. Hopefully it's for good reason, and we
Speaker 2: should probably not just have them in new cycle whenever
Speaker 2: you've got, you know, a story like the nightmare they
Speaker 2: had a few years ago with getting back to school
Speaker 2: and the buses and all that, because clearly people that
Speaker 2: work for JCPS they want they want things to go
Speaker 2: well right And I still think we get a real
Speaker 2: problem on our hands if something doesn't change as far
Speaker 2: as young people wanting to get into that field. That's
Speaker 2: a scary thing. For being honest, so anyways, JCPI is
Speaker 2: obviously you know, our tax dollars support them, and there've
Speaker 2: been a lot of things that have been easy to
Speaker 2: criticize over the years. So when they have a smooth
Speaker 2: return to school with a new superintendent in that leadership role,
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's a good thing. So
Speaker 2: it's just about six pm, only thirteen buses were still
Speaker 2: running with forty seven students total. About six twenty three.
Speaker 2: Just one bus remained on the road. And look, I
Speaker 2: know that that to me, that sounds really late to
Speaker 2: get home from school. But one I would imagine that
Speaker 2: as they get back into routine rhythm, that'll that time
Speaker 2: will change to where they'll be getting home a lot earlier.
Speaker 2: And one of the things I didn't realize just because
Speaker 2: I when I was in school myself many many years ago,
Speaker 2: I went to a very smaller, much smaller school system
Speaker 2: Bowie County Public schools nowhere near the size of JCPS,
Speaker 2: to where if you went to middle school, you started
Speaker 2: this time, you went to high school, you started this time.
Speaker 1: Well they've got it.
Speaker 2: They've got a stagger start times because of just how
Speaker 2: they have to coordinate the bus schedule. So anyhow, job
Speaker 2: well done. Hopefully their first Monday back at school is
Speaker 2: is going to be It's going to be a smooth one.
Speaker 2: Both my kids for the first time are going to
Speaker 2: be uh in school together. Tomorrow they start. My son's
Speaker 2: start in kindergarten. He's so excited, which I'm happy. That's
Speaker 2: better than him being scared, but I'm also I'm also
Speaker 2: sad that he's now getting that old. My daughter she'll
Speaker 2: be starting fourth grade. She's super excited. And then, of course,
Speaker 2: how many years is this going to be for your
Speaker 2: lovely wife as a teacher?
Speaker 1: Just this year seven?
Speaker 4: When she told me that the other day, I was like,
Speaker 4: my gosh, you've been teaching for that long already.
Speaker 2: That's that is crazy to think about. And she clearly
Speaker 2: loves what she does. I'm sure there's days where nobody
Speaker 2: wants to get up and go to work because that's life.
Speaker 2: But she's somebody we need more of, right, somebody that
Speaker 2: enjoys what they do, because man, it's important, and telling
Speaker 2: you it is. It is not an attractive line of
Speaker 2: work to get into for a lot of reasons. And
Speaker 2: that's again that's concerning all right, We've got another check
Speaker 2: of traffic and weather coming you right, Bobby, Let's will
Speaker 2: tell us how the roadways are looking. We'll get an
Speaker 2: updated forecast from at Melosavich of WLKY, and then Scott'll
Speaker 2: be back in for an update on sports right here
Speaker 2: on news Radio eight forty. Whas. How about that he's back,
Speaker 2: He's ten. He's the man on my flat home yesterday,
Speaker 2: John Shannon, I thought of you. I thought, I wonder
Speaker 2: what he's going to have up his sleeve for me to,
Speaker 2: you know, bring us out of his electric newscast back
Speaker 2: into the show.
Speaker 1: Well done.
Speaker 4: I had a nice long drive to come up with
Speaker 4: that one yesterday, and I thought I had to come
Speaker 4: up with something good for you to come back.
Speaker 3: It was time at the beach.
Speaker 1: It was perfect.
Speaker 2: It was perfect, and I'm certainly happy to be back here.
Speaker 2: It is Kentucky and it's morning news, coffee and company
Speaker 2: with you, five thirty five here on a Monday morning.
Speaker 2: And I didn't mentioned this yet within the show here.
Speaker 2: We've got a long way to go, but it is
Speaker 2: a big, big story from the weekend. And it was
Speaker 2: a story that even though I was not as plugged
Speaker 2: in as I usually am, because you know, I was
Speaker 2: on vacation. It became a story that got some legitimate
Speaker 2: national coverage and that was what you heard John discussing
Speaker 2: there in his newscast where you had a home invasion,
Speaker 2: bank robbery and then a man hunt that of course
Speaker 2: ended up with a woman stabbed her and her daughter,
Speaker 2: her two children. Actually we're kidnapped him and just just
Speaker 2: an awful situation all the way around. Nobody would disagree.
Speaker 2: But here is what the ultimate takeaway is, this was
Speaker 2: very avoidable. So the suspect, thirty two year old Armand Langford,
Speaker 2: again he broke into a woman's home, abducted her and
Speaker 2: her two kids, then forced her to drive to the
Speaker 2: PNC bank next to Oxmoor Center and then again armed
Speaker 2: with a large knife. He allegedly told he held into
Speaker 2: the woman's throat and told the tellers killer unless they
Speaker 2: gave him twenty thousand dollars. So again, just a horrific
Speaker 2: situation all the way around, but again this was avoidable.
Speaker 2: This individual, he's now facing robbery, kidnapping charges, assault charges.
Speaker 2: But this is somebody who has has been pretty consistent.
Speaker 2: I mean, this person was sentenced to fourteen years in
Speaker 2: prison for nearly a dozen robberies uh and and but
Speaker 2: was released months into his his sentence with shock probation.
Speaker 2: And I mean, I've said this before just in conversation,
Speaker 2: not necessarily in this setting, because it hasn't really come up,
Speaker 2: although it's certainly not been a rare thing where we
Speaker 2: don't believe people when they tell us who they are.
Speaker 2: They show us who they are consistently, and we should
Speaker 2: believe them. We should, We should, you know, we should
Speaker 2: trust that they're they're showing us, they're telling us who
Speaker 2: they are, because how many, I mean, I don't ask.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure there's there's there's a there's research
Speaker 2: that can be done, and maybe maybe I should do it,
Speaker 2: but maybe maybe I shouldn't because then it would just
Speaker 2: remind me of how scary it actually is where people
Speaker 2: who have committed violent crimes, not once, but sometimes twice,
Speaker 2: maybe even more times, somehow end up not serving nearly
Speaker 2: enough time, and then they get out and they do
Speaker 2: what's predictable, they were able to, you know, get off
Speaker 2: without much of I guess a punishment in their eyes, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're going to prison for fourteen years,
Speaker 2: you get out, you know, without even doing ten percent
Speaker 2: fifteen percent of your sentence, whatever it was, you probably
Speaker 2: feel like you won.
Speaker 1: You probably feel like you're untouchable.
Speaker 2: Man, I've committed all these crimes been I'm a violent
Speaker 2: criminal and I'm already out here on the streets again.
Speaker 2: I'll just keep doing that, right, and I've got to
Speaker 2: go back to you know, the prison for a few hours.
Speaker 2: It's worth it.
Speaker 1: I mean, this was.
Speaker 2: Avoidable, absolutely avoidable. And why these people are let out again,
Speaker 2: I know there's you know that. I'm sure those who
Speaker 2: make this decision will always mean him make you. The judge,
Speaker 2: by the way, who made this decision is Judge Jessica Green,
Speaker 2: and obviously her name's been talked about quite a bit
Speaker 2: in the last few months and.
Speaker 1: The last few days.
Speaker 2: I should say, just because when you hear of what
Speaker 2: wit a second, who made the decision to let this
Speaker 2: guy out of prison, who has again shown quite consistently
Speaker 2: throughout his entire life that he is a violent criminal.
Speaker 2: I mean, like somebody should be held responsible for this happening,
Speaker 2: because again, it was so clearly avoidable, and it's just
Speaker 2: it's awful, I mean, and I can't begin to know
Speaker 2: what kind of trauma comes with this as a family,
Speaker 2: meaning not just the mother her two children, but also
Speaker 2: the husband who's been pretty outspoken about just you know,
Speaker 2: this whole situation. So again there's layers to just dealing
Speaker 2: with this. But I think and I never certainly don't
Speaker 2: want to know, but I would just be fuming with rage. No,
Speaker 2: this person didn't need to be let out. And now
Speaker 2: they've now they've you know, probably unfortunately given these people
Speaker 2: a life changing experience in a negative way. It's it
Speaker 2: was absolutely avoidable. And that's just what is what is
Speaker 2: so crazy and this is almost something you can't make up.
Speaker 2: So apparently this individual he played briefly or he was
Speaker 2: at least on the roster as a college football player
Speaker 2: at Lindsay Wilson, Wilson College and NAI School out I
Speaker 2: believe in a Dare County, Columbia, Kentucky, and you can
Speaker 2: still pull up his his bio on his on his
Speaker 2: on his I guess his profile page on their roster
Speaker 2: and when asked about like why he loves football, it
Speaker 2: says that because he can hurt people, and it's he
Speaker 2: doesn't get in trouble for it.
Speaker 1: I mean, like this is this guy's been pretty consistent.
Speaker 2: He's a violent criminal and he liked football because he
Speaker 2: could hurt people, and you know he wouldn't bears with
Speaker 2: a crime.
Speaker 1: Just insane.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to another update of traffick of
Speaker 2: weather right here at Kentucky, and it's Morning News Coffee
Speaker 2: and company with you on News Radio eight forty whas
Speaker 2: Good Monday morning, Kentucky, Ina. It is Kentucky and is
Speaker 2: morning news here on news radio eight forty whas Nick
Speaker 2: Coffee with you, Coffee and company, And we now bring
Speaker 2: in Rory O'Neill of NBC News. Rory, I'm fresh off vacation.
Speaker 2: I have a decent tan, and I really didn't have
Speaker 2: any issues with getting sunburned in Florida. But I did
Speaker 2: not use much sunscreen. I had a decent I guess
Speaker 2: base ten as I started.
Speaker 1: But I should I be worried because it wasn't really
Speaker 1: any plan for me.
Speaker 2: In fact, I'm surprised I didn't have a day where
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, yeah, you probably should have put some
Speaker 2: sunblock on. But the anti sunscreen movement is apparently a
Speaker 2: real thing here.
Speaker 5: It is now.
Speaker 6: Remember you're talking to Rory O'Neill. I need sunscreen to
Speaker 6: go to the mailbox, Okay.
Speaker 5: Like it's that bad.
Speaker 1: I can imagine. I can imagine as.
Speaker 5: Someone in Florida, So yeah, it can be bad. But yeah,
Speaker 5: there is this growing movement.
Speaker 6: A lot of it has to do with online communities
Speaker 6: who are anti sunscreen, specifically over some of its ingredients
Speaker 6: they say may do more harm than good long term.
Speaker 6: They like the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Junior to
Speaker 6: head up Health in Human Services and the Maham movement
Speaker 6: into the idea of taking a fresh look at some
Speaker 6: of these ingredients and again as to whether or not
Speaker 6: they could be harmful long term. Now, dermatologists will say, look,
Speaker 6: we've been using this stuff since the sixties and seventies.
Speaker 5: If it caused a problem, we would have known by now.
Speaker 6: And in fact they still maintain it is much safer
Speaker 6: to use sunscreen that could protect you from cancers like melanoma,
Speaker 6: that the benefits far away any potential threat, and they
Speaker 6: don't see any threat on the horizon.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I wondered when I was on vacation last week, just
Speaker 2: if you are somebody that if you're outdoors quite a
Speaker 2: bit and you live in an area where the sun
Speaker 2: can be real damaging, I guess it's not just because
Speaker 2: it's maybe comfort when it comes to the people who
Speaker 2: will wear long sleeves, and it looks very odd to
Speaker 2: someone like myself. I'm thinking, my goodness, you've got to
Speaker 2: be sweating your ear end off. Well, it's probably not
Speaker 2: just because of a comfort thing. It may just be because, okay,
Speaker 2: despite enough sun block, it's probably good to just cover
Speaker 2: up a little bit too. I mean, I don't the
Speaker 2: I guess the potential issues you could have with with
Speaker 2: the sun. I mean, the sun's a powerful thing here.
Speaker 5: Well, sure's even on cloudy days.
Speaker 6: It's because of those ultra violet rays from the sun
Speaker 6: that we know can lead to melanomas and cancers, and
Speaker 6: that's the real danger here.
Speaker 5: You know, you go to other parts of the world.
Speaker 6: I've spent some time in Australia, you know there are
Speaker 6: free dispensers of sunscreen.
Speaker 5: Everywhere, provided by the government. You know, they'll they'll like
Speaker 5: those giant mayonnaise jars that you just ump down.
Speaker 6: They're in every store and rest right, they're in every
Speaker 6: store and restaurant and they encourage everyone figuring that, you know,
Speaker 6: supporting sunscreen is a lot cheaper than helping to pay
Speaker 6: for cancer treatments. In the long run, and especially in
Speaker 6: the in the because of the geographical psition of Australia
Speaker 6: being closer to the polls, the thinner atmosphere, more UV
Speaker 6: rays get through.
Speaker 5: So that's why it's a greater concern in some of
Speaker 5: those locations.
Speaker 2: So AI is taking over a lot of things, and
Speaker 2: it's also now taking over the hiring process for a
Speaker 2: lot of big companies. But it sounds like employers that
Speaker 2: are looking for resources looking for work, looking for people
Speaker 2: to come and work for them, and also those that
Speaker 2: are looking for jobs themselves. There's some real doubts as
Speaker 2: far as this is the way to go here. What
Speaker 2: can you tell us as far as just the the
Speaker 2: you know, AI making its way to the hr process,
Speaker 2: as far as hiring.
Speaker 6: Yeah, both sides seem to hate it, which is the
Speaker 6: interesting part. So it's you know, employers say that, you
Speaker 6: know what, they use AI and they're seeing employees use it,
Speaker 6: or potential employees with faking resumes or cover letters or
Speaker 6: you know, the would be worker is even in some
Speaker 6: cases having the total fake identity and different people posing
Speaker 6: for them in remote interviews because well, if it's a
Speaker 6: remote job, you never necessarily have to see what the
Speaker 6: person looks like. So yes, So there's that part of
Speaker 6: the spectrum, and applicants are concerned that, you know, when
Speaker 6: AI reads my resume, I'll never make it past the
Speaker 6: first cut and my resume I know I'd be perfect
Speaker 6: for this job, but human eyes will never get a
Speaker 6: chance to see it. And that's the concern on the
Speaker 6: other end. So both sides think that AI is a
Speaker 6: game changer, and neither side seems very optimistic about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if I'm somebody hiring someone, the thought
Speaker 2: of me not having any individual direct non artificial intelligence
Speaker 2: communication would be something I would avoid. And if I'm
Speaker 2: somebody that's looking for a job, I wouldn't like to
Speaker 2: know that that's the reason why, maybe why they're interested
Speaker 2: in me. So A, it's going to take over a
