Speaker 1 (00:00):
Not to brag, but I feel like I'm on the
right side more so than the wrong side when it
comes to self awareness reading the room. Yet I get
such a intense satisfaction when seeing those learn the hard
way that they couldn't be more wrong about certain situations.
And social media gives us examples of that, where someone
(00:23):
will you'll either see somebody quite literally document something for
the social media clout, thinking everybody's gonna love this, look
at the situation here, everybody's gonna be on my side,
and this is gonna be great because everybody can relate
and I'm right and this person's wrong. And then you
watch it and realize they are way off, and then
you check the comment section and they learn the hard
(00:46):
way that they were completely out of touch. Sometimes you
see it in that instance, and then sometimes you just
get to see it from afar essentially right like you.
It's not like somebody videoing it to show the world
and then they're wrong, But you just see somebody that
is so confidence, so sure of themselves. And the satisfaction
is the is when they learn right. The payoff is
(01:07):
that they are humbled.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
And that happened here recently where a young father took
his young daughter into the women's restroom at a quick
stop gas station. So uh, and I think the context
here is is really really important. This guy at this dad,
the men's restroom had people in it. There was not
a family restroom, and it sounds like the the one toile,
(01:34):
the one stall essentially where there's a toilet and a
door where they would get privacy. I mean, his daughter
can't use the urinal, right, So he asked the lady
who worked there, do you mind if I just go
in here real quick on the women's restroom and let
her use the bathroom. I'll lock the door, and I think, yeah,
the the employee said, don't lock the door. Actually can
(01:55):
I'm not allowed to. I'm not allowed to allow you
to do that. But if you are quick, that's that's fine.
No issue here. Again, understandable, there's not a family restroom
and it won't take long. And the worker is a
human and understanding and probably somebody that can relate because
they're a parent, maybe they've been in a similar situation.
So what ends up happening is there's a woman and
(02:16):
her daughter that tried to enter the restroom and they
see at this time that a man is in there,
and he is at the sink washing his hands with
his daughter, and the woman turns around and lets her
husband know that she can't go to the restroom because
someone is in there and it's a man. Now, what
we don't know is how she handled it, how she responded,
(02:38):
meaning the woman who tried to go in there and
then turned around. But we do know that her husband
didn't respond well because I guess the father that was
in the women's restroom with his daughter, he could sense
that this was about to be a situation, and you
know what he did, He documented it. So he gets
out his phone and then that's when you actually start
to see from there the angry dad that is demanding
(02:59):
that the man and his daughter come out of the
of the bathroom and he's going to detain them himself
because he's calling the cops. He has called law enforcement
because this man is in a women's restroom, and instead
of any explanation or just you know, mind in his
own damn business, he decides he's calling the law and
law enforcement shows up and they let him know that
(03:22):
this is not a police matter in any way, and
that their attention then shifted to the guy called nine
to one one who's irate that they're not doing anything,
and they ask him to leave the store himself. So
he learned the hard way. And I think many people,
in fact millions, because that's how many views this thing
(03:43):
has on TikTok. They're getting the satisfaction as well. I
don't hear anybody that's taking the side, but I guess overall,
if you were to find somebody playing Devil's advocate, it
would be just, well, hey, it doesn't matter. A man
should never be in a women's restroom, and I would
say that person probably never had kid, which hey, there's
no nothing wrong with that. But like if if you
(04:03):
are a dad or a or a mom and your
kids got to go to the bathroom, you know, you
know what you can and can't do, but obviously you
got to advocate for them. They're you know, they're their children.
And my whole thing here is like get a life
like this, not only to react that way and take
it over the top like a Karen, but also like
mind your own damn business. This doesn't relate to you
(04:24):
at all. I mean, maybe it's the I need to
stand up for my wife because she tried to go
to the bathroom and there was a dude in there.
But like once you kind of read the situation for
what it is, even if it bothers, you like making
it what it is.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Like, come on, I think what you what you're pointing
out to Nick is, you know, get get the big
picture of what's going on. Funny because I saw a
TikTok video just yesterday about a gentleman in a Chick
fil a that was it was an elderly couple that
was eating and the elderly man was calling out this
mom with a toddler who was coughing, and he was
(04:58):
convinced that that child was sick and they were coughing
on their food and so they didn't know what to do.
But back to your story you were talking about here,
You know, it's funny that they have a problem with
that man being in the bathroom with his daughter who
had to use the restroom.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Once he explains it, how can you look?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
What are you mad about? Right? That's exactly right. But
yet I can go to a U of L game
and I've been waiting in line to use the bathroom
for some what feels like twenty or thirty minutes, But
yet a couple of ladies who've had a bit too
much of the alcoholic beverage seemed to walk right in
in front of me and everybody kind of bats and
nine and high fives each other.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, I mean that, I've actually seen talk about satisfaction.
I saw somebody at a concert, a woman get arrested
for that, thinking that like it was funny, it was
a joke, and enough dudes in the bathroom were like no,
like get out of here, you can't. And she would
just know that nobody was gonna like physically confront her,
so she was warned by cops to not do it.
She came back and did it again. She got arrested,
(05:49):
and that might have been the highlight of my night.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, exactly. And I mean, I'll look, I'm all for
being a gentleman, and I'm all for chivalry. I love chivalry.
I'll opened the door for any lady in front of
me and what have you. But the fact of the
matter is, there are women's bathrooms and facilities at these places,
whether it's a concert, whether it's a sporting event, there
are women's bathrooms there. They can wait in line like
everybody else. But somehow and then it's the guys who
(06:11):
encourage it that really get under my skin too. Ye
who sit there and just invite them on through and
high five each other.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
They got a pee, dude, They're not. You're not gonna
get laid, you know, Like it's not that.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
It's you know, it's like, so come on, but I
bet we've all been there where this guy's at. In fact,
I've been in a restroom before where there was a
mother that came in with her child, and you know,
I simply just you know, I don't want to reveal
too much, but I did what I had to do
and I left. Yeah, it was not a big deal
because I totally understood as a parent.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I mean, the more I think about it, you don't
even really have to be a parent to understand, Like,
the only scenario where you'd be really really justified with
any anger and outrage would be if it's truly like
a perverted situation, and this was so clearly not that
that even if you wouldn't do it as a dad,
for you to to have that reaction is insane. And
(07:03):
in fact, that guy who went viral for the wrong
reason he lost his job.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, I mean wow, that's that's yeah, that's how it's
how it works, right, you know. I just can't understand
that level of of I mean, even if you didn't
take it to that level, I just can't get that reaction.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's why it reminded me that Chick fil a video
where I saw the grand the elderly gentlemen I don't
know if his grandfather or not, but complaining to the
employee and the ladies like, are you seriously calling out
my daughter for coughing? He goes, well, she's sick and
she's coughing on our food. And they're on the other
end of the rest of they were across the aisle
of the restaurant. So it's like, to your point, I mean,
sometimes people just keep to your own Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I've never in my I've never had a situation
where my kids have have led to somebody needing to
say something because they're disrupting someone's dinner. Yeah, I'm not
here to say that that hasn't happened, and people just
chose not to say anything. If that wouldn't shock me
at all, But I I'm glad I haven't because I
feel like, if if you know, I think human instincts
(08:01):
as a parent, you're going to defend your kid and
be defensive. But I'm glad I haven't had that happen
because I feel like I would. Well, and again, it'll
happen at some point, I'm sure. And when it does,
who knows. But like there'll be people that would maybe
say something to my family they wouldn't say to somebody
else unless they knew our situation with my special needs daughter,
because that's not something that is always noticeable. So if
(08:24):
she was to have sensory overload and just being overly
stimulated and just you know, and it's happened before, and
we've you know, thankfully, we've always been around kind people
who are understanding. Look, I get it, that's annoying. You
don't come to dinner to want to hear kids making
noise in being disruptive, but also just the common courtesy
and decency of people to be understanding. I've experienced that only,
(08:44):
which is great. But I'm sure one day that'll change,
and I hope that I handle it the right way. Now,
I will say, this is a little bit of a
different kind of the same arena, different subject. This is
something I've felt like without any question. I would go
into the women's restroom to change my kid's diaper if
there was not a changing table in the men's And
(09:06):
that's I genuinely, as a new parent. When I would
change my daughter's diaper when she was a baby baby,
I would be very irritated and say not be disrespectful.
I would rarely say something, but I would acknowledge to
the place I was at the restaurant. Hey, you have
a changing table in the women's restroom. There's not one
in the men's. That's not right. Like, I'm not blaming
(09:27):
the server, it's not their call. It's it's probably honestly
the developer of the building. But like, Dad's changed diapers too,
And if I had to change a diaper and they
gave me no option, in fact, what I've done, not
to make a point, but just because I'm being a dad,
would I would do it in the restaurant. Like again,
I wouldn't change a crappy diaper and ruin everybody's dinner,
(09:48):
but I would find a way to get out of
the way and do it where I could, because I
need to change a diaper and you're not giving me
any way to do it. Now, Again, if somebody came
up to me and had an issue, they want to
trespass me, they certainly can, and I would have no
regret taking it and never coming back because when you're
when you got to be a parent, you got to
be a parent.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
That's a great way to put it. In fact, with
my daughter, and I can say this now that she's older,
and I say it affectionately, she was the Antichrist. I
mean my daughter. She had a temper on her that
was evil as all.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Gets and knew you were doctoring it up for something.
I can say this now because she's older, with all
due respect, I love you, but we joke about it.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
So we go to when we were in Mass, and
she when she decided she had had it, she let
everybody else know about it. So I immediately would pick her
up and remove her from church, and I appreesched at
the time had told parents, listen, don't feel you have
to take your kids out of church, because we want
them to grow up in this environment and learn how
to behave in church. Well, I know that that was
inconvenience for people will say, oh their kids. I understand
(10:47):
the look, but they look around and if I think
my kids were inconveniencing others or being a nuisance to others,
I will remove them from the situation now.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
So you feel pretty good about your awareness of that
right on, same here, And I'm glad I do, because
I know many that mean no harm. They just don't
know that. They're not delusional to the point where they
wouldn't accept it. They just don't realize, Hey, your kid's
been banging on the table for twenty minutes and you're
used to it because that's your environment. Nobody here wants
this for thirty minutes. Yeah, I mean like it's you know,
(11:17):
like a lot of things in life, it's balancing it, right,
Like I'll defend if I feel like someone's going full Karen,
But also like I'm gonna have the awareness that, hey,
if I told them to be quiet, or I tried
to calm the situation and my initial attempt didn't work,
then I'll pick up my kid and not discipline them,
just go outside and let them let them fight through it,
because I'm being courteous of people.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So I did. Yeah, And you hear a lot, especially
if you're in a retail story late at night. Sometimes
parents they don't have a choice. They have to bring
their kids out with them, but they if they go
to the retail store, I understand, but you can clearly
tell it's the child's bedtime. And I'm sympathetic to that,
I know that, but it just I just for me personally,
I'm glad you brought that up because I think this
gentleman was in the right to be able to take
(11:56):
his child in there. And we all have, as you said, Nick,
we just have to parent.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I'm thinking of just different scenarios that have played out
during my time as a dad in public at restaurants
and whatnot. And there was the time that I got upset,
not to a point where I even set a word
to anybody other than my wife, but it irritated me
and angered me. So my daughter, for those of who
know my daughter is as autistic, she's intellectually disabled, and
(12:22):
she has epilepsies, so she's especially needs child and intellectually
so consider that she's ten, but she's probably more so
three three years old as far as just from a
cognitive standpoint, and she she's kind of lost. It's kind
of faded a little bit, but for a while, for
many years, if they were singing Happy Birthday, to somebody
at the restaurant, nobody was more excited than her. And
(12:43):
she's clapping and sometimes she would walk over to gravitate
towards where they're all standing around, and you know, at
the Mexican restaurant, they'll put the sombrero on. At Texas Roadhouse,
they do the whole performance. And she's just like she.
If you want somebody to be gassed up for your birthday,
you bring my daughter. She's gonna be happy as can be.
And most people belove it. They you know, one person
one time, Hey do you want to need this birthday cake?
(13:04):
And sure enough she took it. There was one time though,
where we just kept getting looks. She was getting looks
and didn't notice, didn't didn't have, didn't care, And then
we would looks as parents, like are you gonna come
and get this kid? And I wanted I wanted to.
I wanted to pick up the knife and stab him, Scott.
I didn't do that, thankfully, But like you were saying,
but those are just nobody could be at fault. But
(13:25):
there's just things you wouldn't understand and relate to if
you're not a parent. And that's okay, it's not that's
not even a criticism, that's just that's just the reality
of it.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You're exactly right. And I can test and your daughter
when I went into I finally got to meet your
family at the Racing Louisville game last year, and your
daughter was so excited. I mean, I can I can
see where that comes into playing. I think that's a
wonderful thing. And God bless you brother in any parent
of a special needs child, because it is no easy
task and and you you're obviously you and your wife
were doing a great job, and I think it rings home.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Thank you, Yes, sir, appreciate that. Let's get to an
update on trafficking weather. We've got some more sports to
get to. Roy O'Neil's gonna stop by around eight thirty five,
so we got a lot more for you before we
hand it off. Tony and Dwight hang out here with
us and News Radio eight forty WHS
Not to brag, but I feel like I'm on the
right side more so than the wrong side when it
comes to self awareness reading the room. Yet I get
such a intense satisfaction when seeing those learn the hard
way that they couldn't be more wrong about certain situations.
And social media gives us examples of that, where someone
(00:23):
will you'll either see somebody quite literally document something for
the social media clout, thinking everybody's gonna love this, look
at the situation here, everybody's gonna be on my side,
and this is gonna be great because everybody can relate
and I'm right and this person's wrong. And then you
watch it and realize they are way off, and then
you check the comment section and they learn the hard
(00:46):
way that they were completely out of touch. Sometimes you
see it in that instance, and then sometimes you just
get to see it from afar essentially right like you.
It's not like somebody videoing it to show the world
and then they're wrong, But you just see somebody that
is so confidence, so sure of themselves. And the satisfaction
is the is when they learn right. The payoff is
(01:07):
that they are humbled.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
And that happened here recently where a young father took
his young daughter into the women's restroom at a quick
stop gas station. So uh, and I think the context
here is is really really important. This guy at this dad,
the men's restroom had people in it. There was not
a family restroom, and it sounds like the the one toile,
(01:34):
the one stall essentially where there's a toilet and a
door where they would get privacy. I mean, his daughter
can't use the urinal, right, So he asked the lady
who worked there, do you mind if I just go
in here real quick on the women's restroom and let
her use the bathroom. I'll lock the door, and I think, yeah,
the the employee said, don't lock the door. Actually can
(01:55):
I'm not allowed to. I'm not allowed to allow you
to do that. But if you are quick, that's that's fine.
No issue here. Again, understandable, there's not a family restroom
and it won't take long. And the worker is a
human and understanding and probably somebody that can relate because
they're a parent, maybe they've been in a similar situation.
So what ends up happening is there's a woman and
(02:16):
her daughter that tried to enter the restroom and they
see at this time that a man is in there,
and he is at the sink washing his hands with
his daughter, and the woman turns around and lets her
husband know that she can't go to the restroom because
someone is in there and it's a man. Now, what
we don't know is how she handled it, how she responded,
(02:38):
meaning the woman who tried to go in there and
then turned around. But we do know that her husband
didn't respond well because I guess the father that was
in the women's restroom with his daughter, he could sense
that this was about to be a situation, and you
know what he did, He documented it. So he gets
out his phone and then that's when you actually start
to see from there the angry dad that is demanding
(02:59):
that the man and his daughter come out of the
of the bathroom and he's going to detain them himself
because he's calling the cops. He has called law enforcement
because this man is in a women's restroom, and instead
of any explanation or just you know, mind in his
own damn business, he decides he's calling the law and
law enforcement shows up and they let him know that
(03:22):
this is not a police matter in any way, and
that their attention then shifted to the guy called nine
to one one who's irate that they're not doing anything,
and they ask him to leave the store himself. So
he learned the hard way. And I think many people,
in fact millions, because that's how many views this thing
(03:43):
has on TikTok. They're getting the satisfaction as well. I
don't hear anybody that's taking the side, but I guess overall,
if you were to find somebody playing Devil's advocate, it
would be just, well, hey, it doesn't matter. A man
should never be in a women's restroom, and I would
say that person probably never had kid, which hey, there's
no nothing wrong with that. But like if if you
(04:03):
are a dad or a or a mom and your
kids got to go to the bathroom, you know, you
know what you can and can't do, but obviously you
got to advocate for them. They're you know, they're their children.
And my whole thing here is like get a life
like this, not only to react that way and take
it over the top like a Karen, but also like
mind your own damn business. This doesn't relate to you
(04:24):
at all. I mean, maybe it's the I need to
stand up for my wife because she tried to go
to the bathroom and there was a dude in there.
But like once you kind of read the situation for
what it is, even if it bothers, you like making
it what it is.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Like, come on, I think what you what you're pointing
out to Nick is, you know, get get the big
picture of what's going on. Funny because I saw a
TikTok video just yesterday about a gentleman in a Chick
fil a that was it was an elderly couple that
was eating and the elderly man was calling out this
mom with a toddler who was coughing, and he was
(04:58):
convinced that that child was sick and they were coughing
on their food and so they didn't know what to do.
But back to your story you were talking about here,
You know, it's funny that they have a problem with
that man being in the bathroom with his daughter who
had to use the restroom.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Once he explains it, how can you look?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
What are you mad about? Right? That's exactly right. But
yet I can go to a U of L game
and I've been waiting in line to use the bathroom
for some what feels like twenty or thirty minutes, But
yet a couple of ladies who've had a bit too
much of the alcoholic beverage seemed to walk right in
in front of me and everybody kind of bats and
nine and high fives each other.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, I mean that, I've actually seen talk about satisfaction.
I saw somebody at a concert, a woman get arrested
for that, thinking that like it was funny, it was
a joke, and enough dudes in the bathroom were like no,
like get out of here, you can't. And she would
just know that nobody was gonna like physically confront her,
so she was warned by cops to not do it.
She came back and did it again. She got arrested,
(05:49):
and that might have been the highlight of my night.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, exactly. And I mean, I'll look, I'm all for
being a gentleman, and I'm all for chivalry. I love chivalry.
I'll opened the door for any lady in front of
me and what have you. But the fact of the
matter is, there are women's bathrooms and facilities at these places,
whether it's a concert, whether it's a sporting event, there
are women's bathrooms there. They can wait in line like
everybody else. But somehow and then it's the guys who
(06:11):
encourage it that really get under my skin too. Ye
who sit there and just invite them on through and
high five each other.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
They got a pee, dude, They're not. You're not gonna
get laid, you know, Like it's not that.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
It's you know, it's like, so come on, but I
bet we've all been there where this guy's at. In fact,
I've been in a restroom before where there was a
mother that came in with her child, and you know,
I simply just you know, I don't want to reveal

(07:03):
in fact, that guy who went viral for the wrong
reason he lost his job.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, I mean wow, that's that's yeah, that's how it's
how it works, right, you know. I just can't understand
that level of of I mean, even if you didn't
take it to that level, I just can't get that reaction.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's why it reminded me that Chick fil a video
where I saw the grand the elderly gentlemen I don't
know if his grandfather or not, but complaining to the
employee and the ladies like, are you seriously calling out

sometimes people just keep to your own Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I've never in my I've never had a situation
where my kids have have led to somebody needing to
say something because they're disrupting someone's dinner. Yeah, I'm not
here to say that that hasn't happened, and people just
chose not to say anything. If that wouldn't shock me
at all, But I I'm glad I haven't because I
feel like, if if you know, I think human instincts
(08:01):
as a parent, you're going to defend your kid and
be defensive. But I'm glad I haven't had that happen
because I feel like I would. Well, and again, it'll
happen at some point, I'm sure. And when it does,
who knows. But like there'll be people that would maybe
say something to my family they wouldn't say to somebody
else unless they knew our situation with my special needs daughter,
because that's not something that is always noticeable. So if
(08:24):
she was to have sensory overload and just being overly

we've you know, thankfully, we've always been around kind people

and decency of people to be understanding. I've experienced that only,
(08:44):
which is great. But I'm sure one day that'll change,
and I hope that I handle it the right way. Now,
I will say, this is a little bit of a
different kind of the same arena, different subject. This is
something I've felt like without any question. I would go
into the women's restroom to change my kid's diaper if
there was not a changing table in the men's And
(09:06):
that's I genuinely, as a new parent. When I would
change my daughter's diaper when she was a baby baby,
I would be very irritated and say not be disrespectful.
I would rarely say something, but I would acknowledge to
the place I was at the restaurant. Hey, you have
a changing table in the women's restroom. There's not one
in the men's. That's not right. Like, I'm not blaming
(09:27):
the server, it's not their call. It's it's probably honestly
the developer of the building. But like, Dad's changed diapers too,
And if I had to change a diaper and they
gave me no option, in fact, what I've done, not
to make a point, but just because I'm being a dad,
would I would do it in the restaurant. Like again,
I wouldn't change a crappy diaper and ruin everybody's dinner,
(09:48):
but I would find a way to get out of
the way and do it where I could, because I
need to change a diaper and you're not giving me
any way to do it. Now, Again, if somebody came
up to me and had an issue, they want to
trespass me, they certainly can, and I would have no
regret taking it and never coming back because when you're
when you got to be a parent, you got to
be a parent.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
That's a great way to put it. In fact, with
my daughter, and I can say this now that she's older,
and I say it affectionately, she was the Antichrist. I
mean my daughter. She had a temper on her that
was evil as all.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Gets and knew you were doctoring it up for something.
I can say this now because she's older, with all
due respect, I love you, but we joke about it.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
So we go to when we were in Mass, and
she when she decided she had had it, she let
everybody else know about it. So I immediately would pick her
up and remove her from church, and I appreesched at
the time had told parents, listen, don't feel you have
to take your kids out of church, because we want
them to grow up in this environment and learn how
to behave in church. Well, I know that that was
inconvenience for people will say, oh their kids. I understand
(10:47):
the look, but they look around and if I think
my kids were inconveniencing others or being a nuisance to others,
I will remove them from the situation now.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
So you feel pretty good about your awareness of that
right on, same here, And I'm glad I do, because
I know many that mean no harm. They just don't
know that. They're not delusional to the point where they
wouldn't accept it. They just don't realize, Hey, your kid's
been banging on the table for twenty minutes and you're
used to it because that's your environment. Nobody here wants
this for thirty minutes. Yeah, I mean like it's you know,
(11:17):
like a lot of things in life, it's balancing it, right,
Like I'll defend if I feel like someone's going full Karen,
But also like I'm gonna have the awareness that, hey,
if I told them to be quiet, or I tried
to calm the situation and my initial attempt didn't work,
then I'll pick up my kid and not discipline them,
just go outside and let them let them fight through it,
because I'm being courteous of people.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So I did. Yeah, And you hear a lot, especially
if you're in a retail story late at night. Sometimes
parents they don't have a choice. They have to bring
their kids out with them, but they if they go
to the retail store, I understand, but you can clearly
tell it's the child's bedtime. And I'm sympathetic to that,
I know that, but it just I just for me personally,
I'm glad you brought that up because I think this
gentleman was in the right to be able to take
(11:56):
his child in there. And we all have, as you said, Nick,
we just have to parent.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I'm thinking of just different scenarios that have played out
during my time as a dad in public at restaurants
and whatnot. And there was the time that I got upset,
not to a point where I even set a word
to anybody other than my wife, but it irritated me
and angered me. So my daughter, for those of who
know my daughter is as autistic, she's intellectually disabled, and
(12:22):
she has epilepsies, so she's especially needs child and intellectually
so consider that she's ten, but she's probably more so
three three years old as far as just from a
cognitive standpoint, and she she's kind of lost. It's kind
of faded a little bit, but for a while, for
many years, if they were singing Happy Birthday, to somebody
at the restaurant, nobody was more excited than her. And
(12:43):
she's clapping and sometimes she would walk over to gravitate
towards where they're all standing around, and you know, at
the Mexican restaurant, they'll put the sombrero on. At Texas Roadhouse,
they do the whole performance. And she's just like she.
If you want somebody to be gassed up for your birthday,
you bring my daughter. She's gonna be happy as can be.
And most people belove it. They you know, one person
one time, Hey do you want to need this birthday cake?
(13:04):
And sure enough she took it. There was one time though,
where we just kept getting looks. She was getting looks
and didn't notice, didn't didn't have, didn't care, And then
we would looks as parents, like are you gonna come
and get this kid? And I wanted I wanted to.
I wanted to pick up the knife and stab him, Scott.
I didn't do that, thankfully, But like you were saying,
but those are just nobody could be at fault. But
(13:25):
there's just things you wouldn't understand and relate to if
you're not a parent. And that's okay, it's not that's
not even a criticism, that's just that's just the reality
of it.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You're exactly right. And I can test and your daughter
when I went into I finally got to meet your
family at the Racing Louisville game last year, and your
daughter was so excited. I mean, I can I can
see where that comes into playing. I think that's a
wonderful thing. And God bless you brother in any parent
of a special needs child, because it is no easy
task and and you you're obviously you and your wife
were doing a great job, and I think it rings home.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Thank you, Yes, sir, appreciate that. Let's get to an
update on trafficking weather. We've got some more sports to
get to. Roy O'Neil's gonna stop by around eight thirty five,
so we got a lot more for you before we
