12.17: Dropship - Hour 4

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is News Radio eight forty whas thanks for hanging
out with us. Coffee and Company Fueled by Thorntons. Keep
Thorntons in mind. They've got what you need to stay
fueled for the day ahead. Maybe that's a big breakfast.
They've got breakfast options. In fact, they've got a lot
of options, including biscuits and gravy, which is a new
item that they've got available in the mornings. But also
you can get a donut and a cup of coffee

(00:20):
the extra large holiday cup of coffee for just three bucks.
So again, the three dollars donut and coffee combo a
very popular one for obvious reasons. But they've got options,
so keep it in mind. Also, if you are a
member of their Refreshing Awards program, you're going to save
money at the pump every day if you, of course,
would need to do that right most people wouldn't fill
up every day, but if you fill up once per week,

(00:40):
you've got a chance to save up to twenty cents
off per gallon once per week. So again, we are
fueled by Thornton. It's been a busy morning so far,
and one of the stories from earlier in the week
continues to be in the news as it impacts a
lot of people. And that's what's going on with the
Blue oval Sk planting off sixteen hundred workers. And we're

(01:02):
now starting to, I guess get a better feel for
how they were notified, and it sounds like the employees
were shown a video and among many things that were
said in this video from the CEO, this was this
was one of them.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Some difficult steps must be taken, including the end of
all Blue over Sk positions in Kentucky.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
So, you know, finding out that news anyway you find out,
is going to be tough. You've got six months now
to figure something out for after initially probably thinking that
you had a job, opportunity, a career that was going
to be long term and.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
You know, very beneficial for you.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Now you're scrambling to try to you know, figure out
what's next. And obviously there is still a chance you
could stay at that plant, but not until the end
of twenty twenty seven. And again there's no there's no
certainty and you can't wait, right, I mean, you'd have
to go do something else. So, you know, planning for
something until you then see if you if you're able
to be rehired in the new in the new version

(02:07):
of what they're doing there, that just seems it just
seems unrealistic. So, uh, it's it's tough, and it's not
a surprise that any of the local TV stations, and
of course really just on social media, it's not hard
to find folks that are letting in that area, letting
it be known that they're you know, that this that

(02:28):
they that they're impacted by this, and they're upset that
they were, I guess, really just misled on what this
was supposed to be. And and you're starting to hear
more of something that was already out there, and that
is that just this entire thing has been has been
kind of seen as as as as a mess. And
the word I've heard used maybe more than any is
waste for the from those that were involved in some

(02:48):
of the work done to put the whole plant together,
different different industries that of course were a part of
that project. It's again, you know, it's not a coincidence.
I think that you've heard many say that that there
was unorganized and there's just a lot of waste, and
there didn't see it didn't really seem to be a
big plan. So yeah, finding out anyway would be tough,

(03:09):
but I don't know, there's something about being told to
watch a video and finding out that way.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Now again, maybe you knew last.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Week with the news that that the writing was on
the wall, but yeah, it's a it's a real bummer.
And what I keep coming back to is the amount
of space that is going to be available, because even
when they are up and running as they hope, you know,
if they get there as far as what they want
this to be, at the end of twenty twenty seven,
they're still using less than twenty five percent of the

(03:38):
overall facility. Now that could be there's an optimistic way
to look at that, because there is still I mean,
there is still a chance that could be used for
something within Forward, right. I mean, Ford's the one who
now owns this, and they're gonna have to you know,
I mean, it's it's their I was gonna say it's
their problem to fix, but maybe in their mind it's
it's you know, it's not a huge priority because they're

(03:59):
not as impacts as an entity quite like the community
of Glendale and of course Elizabethtown hardin County that area there,
And I've also seen some older footage of just the
coverage of this news when it was announced and when
the project started, and I mean, I'm sure it looks
really bad now given the situation, but I feel like,

(04:20):
even even back at that time, the coverage about what
this would do to that area, I remember thinking to myself, Okay,
that doesn't sound really realistic, like you really expect that
big of a of a of a boom. As far
as just the amount of people that are moving there,
I mean, like, again, who am I to doubt those numbers,
but it just did seem a little far fetched, and

(04:42):
who knows, maybe it wasn't. But here we are years
later and it's and it's all up in the air
as far as just what the long term impact for
this community is going to be. And when I say impact,
I mean this was supposed to be an investment for
growth to their community and really reshape it in.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
In a in a in a big way.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
I'm getting there was some resistance, of course, to that,
because I'm sure some people thought that the place was
great the way it was, didn't need any any changing. Well,
it was happening regardless of what they thought. And I
guess the silver lining would be, hey, this is going
to be good for everybody involved. But now here you
just don't know what it means because you've got a
lot of land that was utilized and again, wasted space
is what we're looking at right now. Even if in

(05:21):
fact they do end up employing what it's twenty one
hundred people that you know, because again that that is,
that is, that's still a good amount of jobs in
an industry that you know, of course, is ever changing.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
This latest story is an example of that. But you know,
you could.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
It's not as if it's it's completely abandon it's just
going to be something different. But I guess the real
frustration is those that believe that in years to come
that this would be an investment that would be felt
for decades as far as just growth. And now of
course that's that's what that's that's within question. All right,
let's get to a quick time out. We've got trafficking

(05:58):
weather updates on the way for you. Something else I
want to get to before we run out of time,
because we will certainly do that if I'm not careful.
But we've got a list of what folks say they're risky.
The average, the average person's riskiest life decision they've made.
I think some of these some of these results will
surprise you, So stick around. It's coffee and company. We're

(06:19):
fuel about Thornton's right here at news Radio eight forty
w h A S. So we make hundreds of decisions
every day. Most are, you know, are easy, like what
are we gonna eat today?

Speaker 3 (06:30):
What are we gonna wear?

Speaker 1 (06:31):
But some choices stop us and we we hesitate, we
go back and forth, and they're they're big decisions that
you'd probably remember, uh for good reasons. But we've got
to study where they ask four thousand people to see
what the riskiest decision across all ages and genders is.
Uh of what you know, just just basically what decisions

(06:53):
do you feel like we're huge in your life? And uh,
you know, some of these results are not so prising,
but let's get into it. So the life decisions people
consider the riskiest. John number one is your career choice
except a new job, Okay, yeah. The number two is
quit a job without another job lined up.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, it's pretty risky.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, I mean that's.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
You're taking a game ball.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, I mean, for sure, I would say it's it's
more than a risk. It's it's downright stupid unless you
just know that you don't need to be making a
consistent paycheck.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
But there's so many options nowadays where you can work
for yourself. Sure, you could find way get whatever it
may be. You can do something and make money.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
So the third riskiest decision that people people think is
investing money. And I will say I'm not somebody that's
made many investments over over my years, but I can
certainly understand because you know, an investment is that you know,
and what the return on seid investment is you just
never know. Right, some are wise investments that end up

(08:00):
not going well. Right, you can make a good investment
as far as just hey, that made a lot of sense.
That's you know, the data is there for you, but
it doesn't mean it's always gonna work out.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
And then this is one that that that that totally
makes sense. But I would have not I wouldn't have
thought about is drive a car when you're tired, intoxicated,
distracted or bad weather, like the decision of okay, should
I get behind the wheel I've had a few beers.
I mean that that totally makes sense.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Two of those two of those things happened to me
almost daily, at least during the winter time. It's the
being tired and then the bad weather that we've had
the last couple of weeks.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
And here's another one. Becoming self employed. Yes, because there's freedom,
there's power, but man, it's it's you've got to be discipinted. Yeah,
there's no security other than you, right like, and sometimes
you can you can be great at what you do
and provide a service, but it depends upon the need
of said service and the value of it. So yeah,

(08:55):
I uh, I think all these check out for the
most For the most part, let's round out the top
five here for the top ten, I'm sorry. Number six
is buying a house. Number seven is surgery, getting surgery,
eight is getting married, nine is getting vaccinated, and ten
is to immigrate to a new country. Now, speaking of
buying a house, that is a a big investment and
it's one that you you go back and forth on

(09:16):
as far as a right should I put my house
up for sale? Should I should I make a purchase?
Is now the right time? Is this my dream home?
So there's a lot that goes into it, and when
it comes to who you should trust to be there
for you throughout the entire process. I can tell you
there's nobody better than my friend Bob Siccola or the
Secolar team at Remax Properties East when it comes to
the decision of should I list it, should I put

(09:37):
my house up? I mean, you know that as far
as do you do you want to move on? Like,
would you be able to part ways? Maybe you have
been for a while, but you've just put it off
because you just assume that timing's not on your side
because of the market, and that may not may not
all be may not always be the case. I think
right now you you'd be surprised to know how many
people have been able to take advantage of the market

(09:59):
as a seller they've been able to put away. I mean,
just think about this. Imagine some unexpected, big time money
to put away for you for a rainy day or
for retirement, and that may that could be there for
you because your house may list for a price that
you're thinking, hey, that's just you know nobody would buy it. Well,
you never know until you put it on the market.
And also, there's nobody better than the Cecolar team to

(10:20):
get it in front of the people that would make
an offer, So just keep that in mind. You may
just you may want to part ways or no, you're
going to but you're just thinking, Okay, I'll revisit it
in a few years because the market's just crazy right now.
You could use that to your advantage and make some
big time money because of just what your house would
have praise for. So again it's the Socolar team at
Remax Properties East. Check them out online at we sell

(10:42):
Louisville dot com. And again, you don't you don't do
this for as long as Bob has and establish a
relationship that you have with your clients unless you're taken
care of him, so you can give him a call
directly on his cell phone babo two three seven six
five four eight three. Again it's the Cecolar team at
Remax Properties Each check them out online at we sell
Louisville dot com. All right, we got trafficking weather updates
on the way. We'll get to some sports with mister

(11:03):
Scott Fitzgerald as well, and Roory O'Neal he's gonna stop
by at eight thirty five, So stick around right here
with us at News Radio eight forty whas all right,
it's our final segment here before we hand it off
to Tony and Dwight. We've already got mister Venetti in
here with us, John Shannon as well. So, uh, I've
I've yet to ever and I'm sure I will at
some point. But if you guys used grub hub or

(11:26):
door Dash door Dash, Okay, I started using it about
six months ago, and now I got addicted to it. Yeah, okay,
so I've I've I've never even thought of it. I'm
sure it's convenient. I know it adds, it adds more money. Well,
if I'm gonna, I don't know. I just if I'm gonna,
I don't eat out that much. But also, I mean

(11:47):
I probably get addicted like you, because you're somebody who
I would have never thought would ever since you used.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
To have made fun of people like why even surprised
to know that?

Speaker 1 (11:55):
But I didn't even know that, but like you just
seemed like the last person that would ever use that.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
It was.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
It all started at twelve thirty at night, drinking too
much wine with my wife on the back deck. It's
twelve thirty and we're like, we want taco bell. So
I popped it up and ten minutes later Taco Bell,
you know, a Mexican pizza and a grande. It was
like magic dog and uh and I found out that
if you just tip a couple of dollars more, they

(12:21):
race the food to you and if you use it enough,
they don't charge you, Like DoorDash doesn't charge you the
little four dollars whatever it is.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
So with DoorDash, do you get like a subscription and
then you pay per month and that includes you getting
deliveries or is it all just three order one?

Speaker 3 (12:35):
No, it's just free.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
It's free.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Oh I got you? Yeh, that's an app. Gotcha?

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Okay, so you're talking about there, you're talking to the
the app itself, like DoorDash or Taco Bell has an
app and they send it through grip.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
No, no, no, what do you How do they make
eighty years old?

Speaker 3 (12:49):
How do they make money? If it's free?

Speaker 4 (12:52):
I feel like I'm talking to terry miners. Look it,
Just download the app, dude, And.

Speaker 5 (12:59):
Actually that's your that's your second assignment this weekend. Not
only are on these next two days off? Are you
watching finally watching all of Diehard start to finish? While
you do it, you're going to door dash and learn
how to.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Sound a pretty good afternoon.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Right though, you can subscribe to one of these on
of his door dash grub hubo reads whatever, and they
wave your delivery feet if you subscribe to That's what
he's thinking you about.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Okay, okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
So for me, it's all about being an impatient person.
So I don't even order pizza. I go get pizza
just because the thought of having to wait. I'm just impatient, Like,
I'll just go get it. But obviously there's times where
you can't go get it if you've been drinking or
whatever it may be. And it's super convenient, but it
has to be. I mean, I don't know, it's too Listen.
Here's the other thing. It's easier than going to the

(13:43):
websites of these places like beir Ando's Pizza or whatever.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
You just hit it. It already has your address, your
credit card.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
And all that.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
So it's two buttons and you've ordered the food. You
go to like a pizza website. You're punching in this.
You're punching in this and it takes forever. That's the
other thing they get you.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
We got we got hooked on it during COVID in
twenty twenty when we were at four cars.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
I'm telling you, dude, why I drove delivery during covidat
everybody was using it.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
You're not fat, dude.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Well I'm I'm I'm in a pretty good weight right now.
But this is I'm just thinking about how if I
got Look, we're all about convenience and if it just
when things become too easy like this like Shad GPT,
I'm using that more than I should write.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
Uh that hangover Sunday watching NFL and you're like, Wow,
a Mama's baronos right now would be perfect.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
I'm surprising it because I feel like you are pretty
early to adopt a lot of things. Yes, you haven't,
so it's like really surprised.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
So a lot of people if they're gonna even if
they're just gonna go to McDonald's or go to Taco
Bell take away the delivery like, they use the app
because you know, there's an app for everything. I've never
I've never even thought of doing that.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
Door Dash is mine now. Gru isn't door dash attached
to uh?

Speaker 3 (14:51):
Is it? Uber? No?

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Uber eats?

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Right?

Speaker 5 (14:54):
Door Dash is unique because you don't have to get
It's not just food like you can door to a.
You're right, and you can do you can, you can
do best Buy. Best Buy is now part of door Dash.
If you need something from best Buy, you can DoorDash.
If your mouth goes out, you can.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
The way I think beer and cigarettes too.

Speaker 5 (15:14):
Yeah, Walgreens you can. You can door dash liquor and
snacks and stuff from from Walgreens.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yeah, yeah, all right, give it a shot.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
So again, I've got homework to watch Diehard start to
finish for the first time ever and.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Use and use one of them. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
So the most uh, the most common item, I mean,
regardless of restaurant. No surprise, cheeseburger was the most common.
Doesn't surprise me. All right, I'm out of here. You
guys enjoy yourself amount the rest of the week, so
don't miss me too much.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Tony Dwider coming your way next right here, And who's
