Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanksgiving week is here, Happy Monday, everybody. It is coffee
and company and we are fueled about Thornton's here at
news Radio eight forty whas. So Thanksgiving is obviously a
time to be thankful for everything that you have. That
should be the first thing on your mind when you
think about Thanksgiving, right, But if it's not, I understand
that it's food because that's what you do. It's the
(00:21):
holiday where we eat. For me, I overeat. It's worth it,
I think, and I wouldn't have it any other way,
to be honest with you. But on Thanksgiving, or really
any Thanksgiving celebration, I know there's going to be that
period of time where I need to just sit, maybe
lay flat, because I'm just so full and miserable, and
then it'll pass. And then as soon as it slightly
(00:44):
starts to pass, then I want to go eat more,
because that's just what's what I do when it comes
to Thanksgiving. But there are a lot of people who
over the years have benefited in a big way from
being on medication that makes them not be able to
eat as much, and in return, they lose a lot
of eight. So if you're on ozempic or one of
(01:04):
those medications, GLP one medications is what they're called. There
are now there's now enough, this has been this has
been a thing for a while to where enough people
use it to where they've got a survey that gives
some legitimate data. Here, forty percent of those that are
on a GLP one like an ozempic or maybe a
comparable medicine, forty percent of them say that they're gonna
(01:28):
alter their shot or skip it because they know Thanksgiving
would be miserable. So yeah, they asked over twelve hundred
people what they're gonna do, and forty percent plan to
adjust the timing and the dosage because of thanksgetting. Six
percent is gonna skip it entirely, thirty four percent plan
to shift dosage or timing, Seventy four percent say they're
(01:51):
doing it simply to enjoy the food more I get it.
Thirty six percent don't want to explain their low appetite
to family, and thirty one percent want to dodge social
pressure to eat, eat, have more.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Here's the kicker of those.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Fifty one percent of people planning to skip a dose
say they're doctor advised against it and they're doing it anyway.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
They don't care.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Meanwhile, others see Thanksgiving as a many fashion show. Thirty
seven percent say they're planning outfits that would highlight their
weight loss. Hey, I get it. You haven't seen some
folks in a while, maybe people you only see in
person on a holiday, and these medications have helped you
trim some weight. You want to go show it off.
I get it, We're human. That's a very normal and
(02:31):
human like reaction, I think. And then twenty nine percent
say they're going to they'll dress to hide it, so
nobody makes it weird.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
What do you mean why would people.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Not want to feel like you should be happy to
show that you've lost weight. I guess there's maybe still
a stigma that, oh, you know, you cheat it or something,
which I don't. I mean, that's one of those things
that I've yet to understand, because I know some that
are hesitant to talk about using these medications, and I
don't understand why. I mean, look, do what you want,
(03:01):
but like you've done to be ashamed of you, you're
taking advantage of medication that can make you happier and healthier.
What in the world would you want to hide that for?
Maybe because you just worried that people would say, you're
not doing it the old fashioned way.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I mean, again, I can't relate, but everybody's different. So
ninety four percent expect their family to be supportive, while
fourteen percent aren't planning to mention their meds at all.
And interestingly, sixty seven percent hope that future Thanksgiving shipped
away from overeating and more toward gratitude and connection. Which
that's a bold dream for us. We'll see, you know,
Thanksgiving if it doesn't include overeating. I mean, it's not
(03:39):
going to feel like Thanksgiving to me. But I say
that as somebody who you know is not the most
most healthy person out there.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
But I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
One of the things that I really took away from
the ozimpic and just like I'm sure there's data that
I've yet to see, is that is real concerning But
like it, it's it's helping a lot of people, right,
I mean, even if you're somebody that that is still
considered to be overweight when it comes to like b M,
(04:09):
I I mean you you may you may have saved
a bunch of years of your life by making a
weight making a lifestyle change. To her, Yes, you're still
considered overweight. Maybe you've lost one hundred pounds, So I
think that's awesome. And yeah, like anything when it's in
its relatively new stages, there's there's always the question of
like what's the long long term impact. But you could
(04:29):
say that about a lot of things, you know. Uh,
there was a there was a Netflix special. It was
a three episode docuseries on The Biggest Loser, that TV
show that used to uh, used to be really popular,
and it really highlighted just how they've been they've been
the rules it was. You know, a lot of the
people that were on that show ended up gaining weight
back and having very unhealthy lives after the fact. And
(04:50):
it was just the coaches really went against at times
what doctors recommended.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And again that was that that was the bowl, that
was the root of that docuseer and it was interesting.
But one thing that I took away is that there
are people towards the end of it, you know, medical
professionals and even some that had gained a bunch of
weight back but were then putting it off again. They
they're doing it with the help of a medication like
ozmpeic and I mean it's proven to work for people
(05:20):
if you can give it a shot, and you know,
if it makes people happier, healthier, wasn't the world's wrong
with that? And again, I'm sure you could throw some
medical stuff at me that would make it seem questionable.
But if your doctor is telling you, your physicians telling you, yes,
you could benefit from it, and here's how I here's
how I recommend you use it. I mean, you got
(05:42):
none to be ashamed of. I mean, I bet there's
people that are at a weight now they never thought
they'd be at ever because they tried that.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's hard.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I mean, you got to really challenge yourself, and life
can make it inconvenient times. I mean, it's hard for
people to sometimes be able to just buckle down and
make that big lifestyle change without relying on medications like this.
So I'm sure there's people listening now that are at
a weight they never thought they'd be at it, and
it's because of this drug. But yeah, there's one week
where maybe you wish you weren't on it.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It might be Thanksgiving? All right, quick break of travicking weather.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
We've also got a lot more to get into, so
stick around and again, Happy Monday, Happy Thanksgiving week from
us here. At news Radio eight forty whas we've had
a very foggy start to this Monday here in the
Kentuckian area. Looks like that's improving as we are moving
forward throughout the morning. It is seven nineteen here at
news Radio eight forty whas looks as if it'll be
(06:35):
cold but sunny on Thanksgiving Day and of course the
day after. Looks like we've got some rain coming this weekend.
But today, I guess the chance of rain is there
later into the day, actually more towards the evening, but
overall going to be pleasant near sixty degrees, which, hey,
that's not so bad whenever you're looking at late November here.
But it is Thanksgiving week, and we'll be out on
(06:56):
Thursday and Friday, and very thankful to have the holiday off,
and of course even the day after Thanksgiving, because I
realize now I have been very fortunate in my whole
life for a variety of reasons, but mostly because well,
this isn't this isn't one of the let me back
up a second here, because I've been this isn't really
that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.
But I've been fortunate to always have jobs that really
(07:19):
just because of what I do, I suppose have worked
out to where I don't have to worry about working
the day after Thanksgiving, because that's not the case for
a lot of folks.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
In fact, if you're.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Somebody that you know gets Thanksgiving off, but then you
have to go work retail the next day, I mean,
if that makes you not enjoy Thanksgiving because of the
dread you have about the day after, I totally get it.
I worked in in retail for for a little while,
and I uh, I was traveling I think the one
year that that I was in that business, in that
(07:49):
in that uh, in that world, and I didn't work,
but you know, working in retail, knowing what goes into it,
I mean, I was lucky to just not have to
work that day. But yeah, we're gonna be out there
in Friday, so just be advised, all right. So real quick,
I want to talk to you guys about a deal
you can still take advantage of, but not for much longer,
all right, because we've only got a little over a
(08:10):
week left here in the month of November, and at
the end of November that's when this deal runs out.
So take advantage of it because you'd be foolish not to.
Right now, at Trick County Ford you can get zero
percent financing for sixty months and no payment for ninety
days on four different twenty twenty five Ford models, the
F one fifty, the Explorer, the Escape and the Transit Van.
(08:33):
So again, until the end of November, you can get
out there to track Canny Ford. Check out one of
those four vehicles. I'm sure of those four you'll find
one that is that is the best fit for you.
The F one fifty, the Explorer, the Escape and the
Transit Van. And from now until the end of this month,
zero interests for sixty months. Think about that, no payment
for ninety days. I mean, that's that's Christmas coming early
(08:56):
for you if you ask me so again. It's Track
County Ford, Exit eighteen off plus seventy one out there
in Oldham County. We were on our way back from
Cincinnati on Saturday and got a chance to see that big,
beautiful dealership. It is a phenomenal a big, big, brand
new Kroger that's right across the way from them. But yeah,
it's an Olham County, beautiful drive out there. They've got
a great, great showroom, a beautiful lot, and you'll not
(09:17):
feel any pressure that you may expect to get whenever
you talk about going to a car lot. I mean,
these are professionals. This is a an employee owned dealership,
and they've built a reputation then not only takes care
of customers, but they've got a great staff. They don't
have the retention you see elsewhere because again people who
work in that industry, they want to work at Track
canny Ford and you should get out there and check
(09:39):
out all the great inventory they have. And again, this
phenomenal deal, but it's only until the end of this month.
Zeroras in financing for sixty months and no payment for
ninety days. It's the twenty twenty five fifty to twenty
twenty five explore, the twenty twenty five escape and the
twenty twenty five transit band. Again is Track twenty forward,
Exit eighteen off I seventy one. Tell them I sent
you all right, let's get to a quick time out
(10:00):
ravaging weather updates coming your way. Another sports update coming
your way. It's game day too. I didn't realize it
until this morning. Louisville basketball back in action the night
against an Eastern Michigan team that shouldn't be much of
a challenge, but you never know.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And if you're just wanting to enjoy.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Louisville sports and get that bad taste out of your
mouth from Saturday where the football team got blown out
Jeff Walls and his team took a loss to the rival,
maybe Pat Kelsey's team can help you tonight. All right,
stick around right here. It's news Radio eight forty whas.

So Thanksgiving week is here, and we've got a list
of topics that are off limits at holiday gatherings according
to a new survey. So this survey it asks people
across all generations about different things that should be avoided
as far as conversations with family at Thanksgiving gatherings. So
(12:01):
this survey says that all generations agree that the topics
to avoid the most include politics and finances, and comments
on weight or appearance. So forty two percent is politics,
twenty eight percent is finances, and again appearance and weight
that is twenty six Those are the three things that
all generations are on the same page with as far
(12:22):
as what they want to want to avoid. But that
doesn't mean they don't want to talk and connect. They'd
rather just focus on safer subjects according to this survey,
like food and wine, social lives, travel plans, and hobbies.
So those are the things that you should be chatting
with your loved ones about when you take a break
(12:42):
from shoving your face, because that's what a lot of
people do. They overread on Thanksgiving, and I'm looking forward
to doing the exact same thing. So not all age
groups find the same subjects as divisive or offensive overall,
but again they all agree that politics it's the one
which I'll admit, regardless of what's going on in the
world of politics. I don't know if I've ever talked
(13:03):
politics at a family gathering. I I really can't think
of any instance where that's ever come up, which I
guess that that's something I should be thankful for because
not the politics aren't important, But I mean, what are
you going to do if you and your loved ones
have different views politically? You're going to write them off
and just like, oh, well, yeah, it's nice knowing you
(13:25):
thought we were related, But no, you got to be.
If you're not this way or that way, you know,
you know your political affiliation is stronger than blood. I mean,
I don't think anybody really operates that way, do they.
I mean, I'm sure there are some that take it
to that extreme, but it's never It's not something we
avoid because it's I don't think it's ever come to
mind to even discuss it, which maybe that makes us unusual.
(13:46):
I'm not sure, John, have you ever had politics creep
up in conversation?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
You're laughing as if like you have. I'm laughing because
I made the mistake.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I was much younger, but whenever I was, I would say,
you know, a middle aged teenager, if you will. I
asked a family member a question about politics, and they
were around another family member who disagreed with them on
I guess whatever I was asking about, and so they
proceeded to go outside, and I believe it turned into
a pretty big argument during Thanksgiving and you.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Were probably just trying to, you know, have small talk. Yeah,
you weren't. Really, you weren't going anywhere with it.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
But since then, I've learned my lesson just never bring
it up at any sort of family gather or anything
like that.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You live and you learn, right.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, So it says here that religion is another thing
people don't want to talk about this holiday season, along
with previous romantic relationships, mental health, work, and career and
their relationship status. So yeah, you know, if cousin cousin Jimmy,
you know, he's brought the same girlfriend the last couple
of years, she's not there this year, maybe you don't
ask about it. Maybe maybe maybe that maybe there's a
(14:43):
reason and he didn't and he didn't want to talk
about it. Says that the top questions people don't want
to be asked this holiday season. Here's here's an overall list.
This is not necessarily topic based, it's just questions specifically,
do you have a girlfriend?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I mean that to me seems more like a like
a thing you see, like move. He's like, you know,
if you're the single bachelor in your young twenties, grandma
is going to be all over you, when you're gonna,
when you're gonna get married and have grandkids? That kind
of thing. I guess it happens. This one is when
you when are you gonna lose holiday pounds?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Who says that? Good Lord? Who'd you vote for? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That that that that's an invitation that just get it
politically charged? What did you do to your hair? That's
another question people don't want to be asked. I won't
get that question. I can promise you that when do
you think you'll go back to work? I guess it's
somebody that's unemployed. Once you go to church with us?
How's your diet going? When are you getting married or
having kids?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
See? I knew that was going to be in there
at some point. Can I borrow some money? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Thanksgiving is is Look, everybody can celebrate the holiday differently,
but most I would say, if they're fortunate, like to
spend it with family. And those are all those questions
are things that I can't think of anybody ever really asking.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
But again, it'd be.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
A funny different Maybe it wouldn't be funny, it would
be an interesting experiment to actually use those questions on people.
I mean, I guess you'd probably offend a lot, but
it would it could be it could make a very
very interesting bit. Oh yeah, if you had the right
family to use it all, it'd.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Be a great social experiment with yes, And so maybe somebody,
if you, if you've got if you, if you think
John's idea is great and you're gonna pull it off,
let us know.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I'd love to know how that goes.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
So it could be like just you know, throughout the
entire experience, just to be throwing throwing divisive things at
them and just to see where where the chaos lead
you could be fun, but of course it could also
ruin things for you. All right, let's get to a
quick time out trafficking weather updates on the way as
we roll along here on a Monday morning at news
radio eight forty w h as now one of the
most I think talked about things this Thanksgiving has been
(16:39):
just how expensive everything is and how much more difficult
it is for for folks to just make it work
right when it comes to getting everything you need to
cook a Thanksgiving meal, and a lot of folks are
feeling just the the current climate financially here, that is,
it could be worse, right, I'm still for many like
(17:00):
myself are still fortunate and thankful to know that there
are others that have it tougher than I do, certainly,
but also just it's everything just seems so expensive. And
I know other some people live in a different tax
bracket than me, and maybe they don't notice it because
they don't even think about it. They're just that blessed
from a financial standpoint, but a lot of us aren't.
(17:21):
And it's just so noticeable how expensive everything is. And
with that one thing that has just irritated me like
crazy recently, and it really got me this weekend as
I was checking out at a store on my way
back from Cincinnati, is the the millions sometimes billion dollar
corporations that encourage you, would you like to round up
(17:44):
for the such and such foundation? Would you would you
care to to donate? You know, would you want to
round up for this or that or not? Even when
they ask you, like it check out or they just
have it on the screen, you have to like bypass
it when you're using your debit card or whatnot. And
overall they're asking you to give money so it can
go towards a charitable organization. Sometimes these organizations that they're
(18:08):
getting money for. Maybe it's maybe it's one you are
familiar with and they've made an impact in your life.
But the lack of awareness is just it irks me
to no end. You know, you're already charging me. You know,
let's say I'm coming here to give you forty nine
dollars and twenty cents.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
That's what you're getting from me. After you and Uncle
Sam get your.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Cut and you're a million maybe billion dollar corporation, and
you ask me if I want to give more money
to donate. You're guilting me into would you like to
do that? Because I got to look you in the
face and say no, and then you look back at me. Oh,
you must hate people, You must hate kids and want
them to suffer. You don't want to donate to this cause.
I mean, I've never had anybody say that directly, but
like just the overall position here, it just to me
(18:55):
seems like such a lack of awareness, because how about
you donate the extra eighty sense there? Would it be
such a big deal to you? Are you gonna break
the bank?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
If?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
If you know, you bit me over for fifty bucks
on something I feel like I used to pay half
for you can't you can't make that donation?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Would it kill you?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Like you want you want credit for asking like, are
you really being that charitable? If you're just simply offering
to take more money of ours to donate, why don't
you donate it? And I'm sure you could find examples
of of of donations to where these companies have been charitable. Yeah,
that's the least they could do. They're the ones benefiting
from all of us struggling financially. You know how many
(19:35):
things out there people just chalk up to what are
you gonna do? Yeah, it's it's it's you know, it's
the it's the economy. You got we gotta charge more
to provide it, so we got to get our end
Yet plenty of things.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, that's that's the truth. They got it.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
They got to raise prices to make you know, to
make it work from a business standpoint.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
But you know how many.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Things that just get the prices of things to just
get raised just because they're like they can all blame
it on that. So again, I'm not anti charity by
any means. And if you still give them your money
and then they take even more so they can donate
to charity on your behalf. You know you're still doing
a good deed.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
But like, come on.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Anyways, rant over trapping, Weather updates on the way. We've
got a sports update coming up as well. Right here
it was ready eight forty whs
Thanksgiving week is here, Happy Monday, everybody. It is coffee
and company and we are fueled about Thornton's here at
news Radio eight forty whas. So Thanksgiving is obviously a
time to be thankful for everything that you have. That
should be the first thing on your mind when you
think about Thanksgiving, right, But if it's not, I understand
that it's food because that's what you do. It's the
(00:21):
holiday where we eat. For me, I overeat. It's worth it,
I think, and I wouldn't have it any other way,
to be honest with you. But on Thanksgiving, or really
any Thanksgiving celebration, I know there's going to be that
period of time where I need to just sit, maybe
lay flat, because I'm just so full and miserable, and
then it'll pass. And then as soon as it slightly
(00:44):
starts to pass, then I want to go eat more,
because that's just what's what I do when it comes
to Thanksgiving. But there are a lot of people who
over the years have benefited in a big way from
being on medication that makes them not be able to
eat as much, and in return, they lose a lot
of eight. So if you're on ozempic or one of
(01:04):
those medications, GLP one medications is what they're called. There
are now there's now enough, this has been this has
been a thing for a while to where enough people
use it to where they've got a survey that gives
some legitimate data. Here, forty percent of those that are
on a GLP one like an ozempic or maybe a
comparable medicine, forty percent of them say that they're gonna
(01:28):
alter their shot or skip it because they know Thanksgiving
would be miserable. So yeah, they asked over twelve hundred
people what they're gonna do, and forty percent plan to
adjust the timing and the dosage because of thanksgetting. Six
percent is gonna skip it entirely, thirty four percent plan
to shift dosage or timing, Seventy four percent say they're
(01:51):
doing it simply to enjoy the food more I get it.
Thirty six percent don't want to explain their low appetite
to family, and thirty one percent want to dodge social
pressure to eat, eat, have more.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Here's the kicker of those.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Fifty one percent of people planning to skip a dose
say they're doctor advised against it and they're doing it anyway.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
They don't care.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Meanwhile, others see Thanksgiving as a many fashion show. Thirty
seven percent say they're planning outfits that would highlight their
weight loss. Hey, I get it. You haven't seen some
folks in a while, maybe people you only see in
person on a holiday, and these medications have helped you
trim some weight. You want to go show it off.
I get it, We're human. That's a very normal and
(02:31):
human like reaction, I think. And then twenty nine percent
say they're going to they'll dress to hide it, so
nobody makes it weird.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
What do you mean why would people.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Not want to feel like you should be happy to
show that you've lost weight. I guess there's maybe still
a stigma that, oh, you know, you cheat it or something,
which I don't. I mean, that's one of those things
that I've yet to understand, because I know some that
are hesitant to talk about using these medications, and I
don't understand why. I mean, look, do what you want,
(03:01):
but like you've done to be ashamed of you, you're
taking advantage of medication that can make you happier and healthier.
What in the world would you want to hide that for?
Maybe because you just worried that people would say, you're
not doing it the old fashioned way.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I mean, again, I can't relate, but everybody's different. So
ninety four percent expect their family to be supportive, while
fourteen percent aren't planning to mention their meds at all.
And interestingly, sixty seven percent hope that future Thanksgiving shipped
away from overeating and more toward gratitude and connection. Which
that's a bold dream for us. We'll see, you know,
Thanksgiving if it doesn't include overeating. I mean, it's not
(03:39):
going to feel like Thanksgiving to me. But I say
that as somebody who you know is not the most
most healthy person out there.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
But I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
One of the things that I really took away from
the ozimpic and just like I'm sure there's data that
I've yet to see, is that is real concerning But
like it, it's it's helping a lot of people, right,
I mean, even if you're somebody that that is still
considered to be overweight when it comes to like b M,
(04:09):
I I mean you you may you may have saved
a bunch of years of your life by making a
weight making a lifestyle change. To her, Yes, you're still
considered overweight. Maybe you've lost one hundred pounds, So I
think that's awesome. And yeah, like anything when it's in
its relatively new stages, there's there's always the question of
like what's the long long term impact. But you could
(04:29):
say that about a lot of things, you know. Uh,
there was a there was a Netflix special. It was
a three episode docuseries on The Biggest Loser, that TV
show that used to uh, used to be really popular,
and it really highlighted just how they've been they've been
the rules it was. You know, a lot of the
people that were on that show ended up gaining weight
back and having very unhealthy lives after the fact. And
(04:50):
it was just the coaches really went against at times
what doctors recommended.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And again that was that that was the bowl, that
was the root of that docuseer and it was interesting.
But one thing that I took away is that there
are people towards the end of it, you know, medical
professionals and even some that had gained a bunch of
weight back but were then putting it off again. They
they're doing it with the help of a medication like
ozmpeic and I mean it's proven to work for people
(05:20):
if you can give it a shot, and you know,
if it makes people happier, healthier, wasn't the world's wrong
with that? And again, I'm sure you could throw some
medical stuff at me that would make it seem questionable.
But if your doctor is telling you, your physicians telling you, yes,
you could benefit from it, and here's how I here's
how I recommend you use it. I mean, you got
(05:42):
none to be ashamed of. I mean, I bet there's
people that are at a weight now they never thought
they'd be at ever because they tried that.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's hard.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I mean, you got to really challenge yourself, and life
can make it inconvenient times. I mean, it's hard for
people to sometimes be able to just buckle down and
make that big lifestyle change without relying on medications like this.
So I'm sure there's people listening now that are at
a weight they never thought they'd be at it, and
it's because of this drug. But yeah, there's one week
where maybe you wish you weren't on it.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It might be Thanksgiving? All right, quick break of travicking weather.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
We've also got a lot more to get into, so
stick around and again, Happy Monday, Happy Thanksgiving week from
us here. At news Radio eight forty whas we've had
a very foggy start to this Monday here in the
Kentuckian area. Looks like that's improving as we are moving
forward throughout the morning. It is seven nineteen here at
news Radio eight forty whas looks as if it'll be
(06:35):
cold but sunny on Thanksgiving Day and of course the
day after. Looks like we've got some rain coming this weekend.
But today, I guess the chance of rain is there
later into the day, actually more towards the evening, but
overall going to be pleasant near sixty degrees, which, hey,
that's not so bad whenever you're looking at late November here.
But it is Thanksgiving week, and we'll be out on
(06:56):
Thursday and Friday, and very thankful to have the holiday off,
and of course even the day after Thanksgiving, because I
realize now I have been very fortunate in my whole
life for a variety of reasons, but mostly because well,
this isn't this isn't one of the let me back
up a second here, because I've been this isn't really
that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.
But I've been fortunate to always have jobs that really
(07:19):
just because of what I do, I suppose have worked
out to where I don't have to worry about working
the day after Thanksgiving, because that's not the case for
a lot of folks.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
In fact, if you're.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Somebody that you know gets Thanksgiving off, but then you
have to go work retail the next day, I mean,
if that makes you not enjoy Thanksgiving because of the
dread you have about the day after, I totally get it.
I worked in in retail for for a little while,
and I uh, I was traveling I think the one
year that that I was in that business, in that
(07:49):
in that uh, in that world, and I didn't work,
but you know, working in retail, knowing what goes into it,
I mean, I was lucky to just not have to
work that day. But yeah, we're gonna be out there
in Friday, so just be advised, all right. So real quick,
I want to talk to you guys about a deal
you can still take advantage of, but not for much longer,
all right, because we've only got a little over a
(08:10):
week left here in the month of November, and at
the end of November that's when this deal runs out.
So take advantage of it because you'd be foolish not to.
Right now, at Trick County Ford you can get zero
percent financing for sixty months and no payment for ninety
days on four different twenty twenty five Ford models, the
F one fifty, the Explorer, the Escape and the Transit Van.
(08:33):
So again, until the end of November, you can get
out there to track Canny Ford. Check out one of
those four vehicles. I'm sure of those four you'll find
one that is that is the best fit for you.
The F one fifty, the Explorer, the Escape and the
Transit Van. And from now until the end of this month,
zero interests for sixty months. Think about that, no payment
for ninety days. I mean, that's that's Christmas coming early
(08:56):
for you if you ask me so again. It's Track
County Ford, Exit eighteen off plus seventy one out there
in Oldham County. We were on our way back from
Cincinnati on Saturday and got a chance to see that big,
beautiful dealership. It is a phenomenal a big, big, brand
new Kroger that's right across the way from them. But yeah,
it's an Olham County, beautiful drive out there. They've got
a great, great showroom, a beautiful lot, and you'll not
(09:17):
feel any pressure that you may expect to get whenever
you talk about going to a car lot. I mean,
these are professionals. This is a an employee owned dealership,
and they've built a reputation then not only takes care
of customers, but they've got a great staff. They don't
have the retention you see elsewhere because again people who
work in that industry, they want to work at Track
canny Ford and you should get out there and check
(09:39):
out all the great inventory they have. And again, this
phenomenal deal, but it's only until the end of this month.
Zeroras in financing for sixty months and no payment for
ninety days. It's the twenty twenty five fifty to twenty
twenty five explore, the twenty twenty five escape and the
twenty twenty five transit band. Again is Track twenty forward,
Exit eighteen off I seventy one. Tell them I sent
you all right, let's get to a quick time out
(10:00):
ravaging weather updates coming your way. Another sports update coming
your way. It's game day too. I didn't realize it
until this morning. Louisville basketball back in action the night
against an Eastern Michigan team that shouldn't be much of
a challenge, but you never know.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And if you're just wanting to enjoy.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Louisville sports and get that bad taste out of your
mouth from Saturday where the football team got blown out
Jeff Walls and his team took a loss to the rival,
maybe Pat Kelsey's team can help you tonight. All right,
stick around right here. It's news Radio eight forty whas.

So Thanksgiving week is here, and we've got a list
of topics that are off limits at holiday gatherings according
to a new survey. So this survey it asks people
across all generations about different things that should be avoided
as far as conversations with family at Thanksgiving gatherings. So
(12:01):
this survey says that all generations agree that the topics
to avoid the most include politics and finances, and comments
on weight or appearance. So forty two percent is politics,
twenty eight percent is finances, and again appearance and weight
that is twenty six Those are the three things that
all generations are on the same page with as far
(12:22):
as what they want to want to avoid. But that
doesn't mean they don't want to talk and connect. They'd
rather just focus on safer subjects according to this survey,
like food and wine, social lives, travel plans, and hobbies.
So those are the things that you should be chatting
with your loved ones about when you take a break
(12:42):
from shoving your face, because that's what a lot of
people do. They overread on Thanksgiving, and I'm looking forward
to doing the exact same thing. So not all age
groups find the same subjects as divisive or offensive overall,
but again they all agree that politics it's the one
which I'll admit, regardless of what's going on in the
world of politics. I don't know if I've ever talked
(13:03):
politics at a family gathering. I I really can't think
of any instance where that's ever come up, which I
guess that that's something I should be thankful for because
not the politics aren't important, But I mean, what are
you going to do if you and your loved ones
have different views politically? You're going to write them off
and just like, oh, well, yeah, it's nice knowing you
(13:25):
thought we were related, But no, you got to be.
If you're not this way or that way, you know,
you know your political affiliation is stronger than blood. I mean,
I don't think anybody really operates that way, do they.
I mean, I'm sure there are some that take it
to that extreme, but it's never It's not something we
avoid because it's I don't think it's ever come to
mind to even discuss it, which maybe that makes us unusual.
(13:46):
I'm not sure, John, have you ever had politics creep
up in conversation?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
You're laughing as if like you have. I'm laughing because
I made the mistake.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I was much younger, but whenever I was, I would say,
you know, a middle aged teenager, if you will. I
asked a family member a question about politics, and they
were around another family member who disagreed with them on
I guess whatever I was asking about, and so they
proceeded to go outside, and I believe it turned into
a pretty big argument during Thanksgiving and you.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Were probably just trying to, you know, have small talk. Yeah,
you weren't. Really, you weren't going anywhere with it.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
But since then, I've learned my lesson just never bring
it up at any sort of family gather or anything
like that.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You live and you learn, right.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, So it says here that religion is another thing
people don't want to talk about this holiday season, along
with previous romantic relationships, mental health, work, and career and
their relationship status. So yeah, you know, if cousin cousin Jimmy,
you know, he's brought the same girlfriend the last couple
of years, she's not there this year, maybe you don't
ask about it. Maybe maybe maybe that maybe there's a
(14:43):
reason and he didn't and he didn't want to talk
about it. Says that the top questions people don't want
to be asked this holiday season. Here's here's an overall list.
This is not necessarily topic based, it's just questions specifically,
do you have a girlfriend?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I mean that to me seems more like a like
a thing you see, like move. He's like, you know,
if you're the single bachelor in your young twenties, grandma
is going to be all over you, when you're gonna,
when you're gonna get married and have grandkids? That kind
of thing. I guess it happens. This one is when
you when are you gonna lose holiday pounds?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Who says that? Good Lord? Who'd you vote for? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That that that that's an invitation that just get it
politically charged? What did you do to your hair? That's
another question people don't want to be asked. I won't
get that question. I can promise you that when do
you think you'll go back to work? I guess it's
somebody that's unemployed. Once you go to church with us?
How's your diet going? When are you getting married or
having kids?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
See? I knew that was going to be in there
at some point. Can I borrow some money? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Thanksgiving is is Look, everybody can celebrate the holiday differently,
but most I would say, if they're fortunate, like to
spend it with family. And those are all those questions
are things that I can't think of anybody ever really asking.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
But again, it'd be.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
A funny different Maybe it wouldn't be funny, it would
be an interesting experiment to actually use those questions on people.
I mean, I guess you'd probably offend a lot, but
it would it could be it could make a very
very interesting bit. Oh yeah, if you had the right
family to use it all, it'd.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Be a great social experiment with yes, And so maybe somebody,
if you, if you've got if you, if you think
John's idea is great and you're gonna pull it off,
let us know.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I'd love to know how that goes.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
So it could be like just you know, throughout the
entire experience, just to be throwing throwing divisive things at
them and just to see where where the chaos lead
you could be fun, but of course it could also
ruin things for you. All right, let's get to a
quick time out trafficking weather updates on the way as
we roll along here on a Monday morning at news
radio eight forty w h as now one of the
most I think talked about things this Thanksgiving has been
(16:39):
just how expensive everything is and how much more difficult
it is for for folks to just make it work
right when it comes to getting everything you need to
cook a Thanksgiving meal, and a lot of folks are
feeling just the the current climate financially here, that is,
it could be worse, right, I'm still for many like
(17:00):
myself are still fortunate and thankful to know that there
are others that have it tougher than I do, certainly,
but also just it's everything just seems so expensive. And
I know other some people live in a different tax
bracket than me, and maybe they don't notice it because
they don't even think about it. They're just that blessed
from a financial standpoint, but a lot of us aren't.
(17:21):
And it's just so noticeable how expensive everything is. And
with that one thing that has just irritated me like
crazy recently, and it really got me this weekend as
I was checking out at a store on my way
back from Cincinnati, is the the millions sometimes billion dollar
corporations that encourage you, would you like to round up
(17:44):
for the such and such foundation? Would you would you
care to to donate? You know, would you want to
round up for this or that or not? Even when
they ask you, like it check out or they just
have it on the screen, you have to like bypass
it when you're using your debit card or whatnot. And
overall they're asking you to give money so it can
go towards a charitable organization. Sometimes these organizations that they're
(18:08):
getting money for. Maybe it's maybe it's one you are
familiar with and they've made an impact in your life.
But the lack of awareness is just it irks me
to no end. You know, you're already charging me. You know,
let's say I'm coming here to give you forty nine
dollars and twenty cents.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
That's what you're getting from me. After you and Uncle
Sam get your.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Cut and you're a million maybe billion dollar corporation, and
you ask me if I want to give more money
to donate. You're guilting me into would you like to
do that? Because I got to look you in the
face and say no, and then you look back at me. Oh,
you must hate people, You must hate kids and want
them to suffer. You don't want to donate to this cause.
I mean, I've never had anybody say that directly, but
like just the overall position here, it just to me
(18:55):
seems like such a lack of awareness, because how about
you donate the extra eighty sense there? Would it be
such a big deal to you? Are you gonna break
the bank?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
If?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
If you know, you bit me over for fifty bucks
on something I feel like I used to pay half
for you can't you can't make that donation?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Would it kill you?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Like you want you want credit for asking like, are
you really being that charitable? If you're just simply offering
to take more money of ours to donate, why don't
you donate it? And I'm sure you could find examples
of of of donations to where these companies have been charitable. Yeah,
that's the least they could do. They're the ones benefiting
from all of us struggling financially. You know how many
(19:35):
things out there people just chalk up to what are
you gonna do? Yeah, it's it's it's you know, it's
the it's the economy. You got we gotta charge more
to provide it, so we got to get our end
Yet plenty of things.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, that's that's the truth. They got it.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
They got to raise prices to make you know, to
make it work from a business standpoint.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
But you know how many.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Things that just get the prices of things to just
get raised just because they're like they can all blame
it on that. So again, I'm not anti charity by
any means. And if you still give them your money
and then they take even more so they can donate
to charity on your behalf. You know you're still doing
a good deed.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
But like, come on.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Anyways, rant over trapping, Weather updates on the way. We've
got a sports update coming up as well. Right here
