9.9: Who Says No - Hour 3

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is seven oh five here in news Radio eight
forty whas Coffee and Company with you Kentucky, and it's
morning news. So it looks as if the traffic is
getting worse there if you are on sixty four headed
east from New Albany. This accident, it looks like it
started closer to I believe twenty second Street that area,

(00:22):
and now it's causing issues all the way back into
on the Indiana side. So as of right now, it
looks like that's our biggest issue as far as traffic,
So be advised. We'll get you another update coming up
in about four and a half minutes with Bobby Ellis.
Also we'll get another update of the forecast. It's warming up,
and I knew it was going to I'm not going
to complain because hey, it's still going to be nice

(00:43):
and fall is on the way. But we and maybe
if I really just looked into it, I could find
a way to determine if this is completely made up
in my own mind or if it's true. But I
do feel like for about three weeks ish we were
really really blessed with great weather. Mean for late August
early September, it's been beautiful and I'll take it. I mean,

(01:08):
the summer's nice, right, we get vacations and people try
to go to the beach, hang up by the pool.
Warm weather is warm weather, and sunshine makes people happy.
I totally get it. But there comes a point where
I'm just done with it. And I feel like when
that point came this year, it just became really nice.
So it's gonna warm up. We're gonna be in the
eighties today. But that's not bad at all. Again, I

(01:28):
could be made up in my mind, but when we
get to late August early September, I feel like by
that point it's just really really humid outside and just gross.
And we have not had that lately, and I've really
really enjoyed it. All Right, So this has been something
we've talked about for a while now. We probably won't
stop talking about it because it's pretty important. And that

(01:49):
is the job market. So when it comes to the
way in which employers are hiring right now, a lot
of companies are relying on AI and I am somebody
that Each day, I feel like I'm becoming more and
more interested in trying to teach myself how to do
certain things with AI and not not using it to,

(02:11):
you know, get out of work or anything. I mean,
not even really using it to to do a job
for me, but just to like learn how to use
it effectively. And I will say I'm probably more interested
in that than most just because of the things that
I'm interested in. But with all that said, I would
never want to rely on AI to reference resumes for

(02:35):
me when it comes to hiring somebody. I mean, maybe
I'm maybe I'm way off here, but I'm old school.
I suppose I want to see if I'm interviewing somebody
to hire them, I would I mean, the resume matters, clearly,
but I would want to have some level of dialogue,
some level of interaction with that person because I just don't,
you know, I feel like that's that's needed. Like if

(02:57):
you again, this is somebody, meaning myself, who is more
probably open to AI and it's in its advancements than
than the average person. I don't know that for certain,
but I kind of feel that way. And yet I'm
just I can't imagine. I mean, if you hire, if
you hire people based off of just the way artificial
intelligence reference their resume, You're gonna end up hiring people

(03:21):
that you later realized you didn't you shouldn't have hired.
So payroll growth has been frozen for four months, and
applicants are claiming that they've applied to many jobs and
received no responses many or facing weeks or months of
silence despite being qualified for these jobs. And what's happening
is that it's an a AD driven process now where

(03:42):
companies are automating everything from resume screening to even first
round interviews. They're not even just resume screening with AI,
They're having robots do the first round of interviews. And
my takeaway from this is not like, can you believe
they're doing this, It's gonna be It's going to be
a crap show. Ay, I is not there yet, it's

(04:04):
not ready. I mean that's that's one way to look
at it, and I do I do believe that. But
another way to look at it is that tells me
what they think of these people are hiring, Like what
what they how they view what they're producing. If you
could if for me to get to you, I got
to get past a robot. It kind of tells me
what you've how you view my my worth as far

(04:25):
as whatever position you're hiring me for. Now again, maybe
we're talking about corporations where the resources this is just
the way that it needs to be done. And maybe
these are entry level positions that it's not something to
where you really need like an extensive I guess that's
important to note it. I guess it really all depends

(04:45):
on what you're hiring for. But you've got people fresh
out of college, people that have that have been in
a certain industry for many years, trying to get back
to work and they're getting nowhere because of And here's
the thing, like, if you wouldn't shock me if there's
certain if there's certain companies that if they're relying on
AI to do the screening and then of course do

(05:06):
maybe the first round of initial interviews. I guarantee if
some of them are probably telling their technology the AI
to avoid people that are a certain age, that are older,
who might want a bigger salary because they're experienced and
they know they're worth we want the cheap route. I mean,

(05:27):
I am very much pro AI in a lot of ways.
I'm also concerned about how scary it is. But I
just think when it comes to hiring people, you're looking
at a disaster. If the majority of it is based
on AI. But again I guess technically, if it's for
specific positions, maybe it would make a little more sense.
But that would be scary for me, because I think

(05:48):
getting a job becomes a lot harder when you are
just at the luck of AI working correctly, which again
I use it all the time. I can tell you firsthand.
Sometimes it does what you need it to do. Sometimes
for no rhyme or reason, it just doesn't. So anyways,
I the reason I mentioned a moment ago that this
is something we've continued to talk about. It's not We'll
always talk about the economy and the job market, that

(06:11):
kind of stuff, because that stuff's important. But I just
feel like recently, for me personally, I've talked to enough
people that have decided, Okay, I'm gonna leave my job
because I'm just I'm not being treated fairly. I know
my worth, my value, I can't do this anymore. And
then they realize it's gonna be really tough to find
even what you felt was unacceptable. It's scary, all right.

(06:33):
We've got traving weather updates on the way right here
on news Radio eight forty WHS. Here's some news that
probably will not surprise. You. You know, the woman who
was caught on camera at the Coldplay concert kissing her boss. Yeah,
she's getting divorced. So the kiss cam moment that really

(06:53):
took off in a viral way that happens from time
to time, but that felt like an old timer as
far as just spread like wildfire to where like everybody
knew what you were. I mean, you didn't have to
be active on social media or even really be on
there all that much to know what people were talking
about when they referenced the the situation that took place
at the Coldplay concert. But this woman, Kristin Cabo, she

(07:17):
was the HR chief who was caught on camera kissing
someone who wasn't her husband. She filed for Devoyce filed
for divorce shortly after. The footage made her life probably
very very difficult, and her husband he's now breaking his silence.
So a rep for her husband, Andrew Cabo, told People
People magazine that he and his soon to be ex

(07:40):
wife Kristen quote were privately separated several weeks before the
Coldplay concert, so they were not together together at that time.
She did a file. She did file for divorce this week,
and that of course confirmed the speculation that she'd be
that she wasn't gonna be married much longer. Now he
hopes that that that things can remain I guess civil.

(08:03):
He wants to be respectful to her and and and
really to have I guess good closure in those situations,
and wants privacy for also the family because you know,
they've got they've got children. So this was I mean
talk about just all time. I don't want to say
bad luck because again, like if you're if you're having

(08:25):
an affair and you get caught, like you can't say, well,
I have terrible luck. Man, I was having an affair.
I got caught, but it's bad luck. I mean, like,
I just imagine my wife waking up, turning on the
station and hearing that whenever she gets started. So context
is important, honey, but nonetheless, like your life changed, like

(08:46):
you woke You probably woke up the next morning and
thought there's no way that happened, right, And oh, by
the way, you didn't even realize what it was turning
into at that time. I mean, it became a thing.
Like let's just say it was just a Boston thing
where it took place. That alone is bad enough of
these people, but then it became the most talked about
thing in the world for about ten minutes or so.
I mean, it was longer than that, but we move

(09:08):
pretty quickly when it comes to the news cycle. But
this should be a reminder for everybody when it comes
to being at concerts like that, at stadiums where there
are thousands upon thousands of people and everybody's got a
phone in their pocket and you never know what they're
going to put up on the screen, and you just
got to be careful. It gives me PTSD from that time,

(09:29):
and I shared this story when this happened that I
was at a at a basketball game one time and
my sister and I are not a year apart, and
we don't really look alike, so if we're just together,
which is rare, there are people that might assume that
we are an item. Gross, right, my sister, But the
kiss came was near us, and I panicked, and sure enough,
she's the smart one of the two, and she ran.

(09:51):
She was gone before I even realized, Oh, they're gonna
come over here. I got to get out of here.
She was gone. She knew, she read what was happened,
she saw the situation and she took action. And again
that's why she's the smart one of the two of
US Irish twins fifty one weeks apart. Yes, I was
clearly an accident, by the way, real quick before we
get to another update of trafficking weather. I love seeing
the creativity from different stadiums across the country when it

(10:15):
comes to what they put up there North Carolina, the
tar Hills. Bill Belichick's team, he got his first win
over the weekend because of course they got embarrassed in
their opener against TCU, but they did beat Charlotte, and
they played at Charlotte and I don't know if it
was the people who work at the stadium or if
it's the Charlotte football department, but they had a gold

(10:36):
Digger cam because of course, you know Bill Belichick's gold Digger.
Get it you guys, get it right, You get the joke.
Jordan Nudson, she's you know, she's probably not into Bill
Belichick for his his you know, his youth. He's an
old man. She's twenty four, but you know, gold Digger

(10:57):
is I mean, I could see that being one that
it's it's just a joke. They're just having fun. Who
knows who they actually put it on. But I could
see certain women being really offended by that because, like
you know, they would say, what do you mean you
think I'm with him for his money? Which it's just
a joke. I'm sure they don't. They're not. They're not

(11:19):
looking around the arena to determine, Okay, who who here?
Do we need to look like? Which which couples look
as if maybe money is the reason the two are
are are together? All right? Listened up. When you're trying
to sell a home, there's nothing more frustrating than hiring
the wrong agent only to watch your properties sit on
the market with little no interest until the listing eventually expires.

(11:39):
Sound familiar, I'm sure to some of you it does.
But if you ever worked with Bob's Siccola and the
Cecolar team at Remax Properties East, I'm sure it doesn't
sound familiar. But if you've been unlucky enough to work
with the wrong agent, it's definitely time to make the
switch and experience what I like to call the Cecolar difference.
Don't assume there's something wrong with your house and that's
why it's not selling. My good friend Bob Scola and
his team market properties to thousands of buyers every month,

(12:00):
creating demand for homes just like yours. They're proven strategies
will get your property in front of the most qualified buyers,
helping you get top dollar for your home. Callbobsicler at

okay O L E. R. We've got traffic, weather updates
on the way right here, right now on news Radio

(12:22):
eight forty Whas we're just a couple of days away
from Bourbon and beyond getting started, I would imagine by
tomorrow you'll start to see some folks that have made
their way into town. I know some people will only
come for certain days, Like if you're somebody that can
drive here and it's not super far away, maybe you're
just coming for a Friday or Saturday, maybe a Sunday.
But there are some people that make it a four

(12:44):
day thing, which is which is awesome. And I talked
about this a lot yesterday, but you can just feel
whenever there's an event going on that has brought a
lot of people here to Louisville, and it's it's not
something I can feel just yet because we're not there.
But in previous years it's been awesome, and I'm sure
we'll get there. We'll get there in a couple of days,
maybe even tomorrow for those that are arriving for the

(13:07):
for the entirety of the event, or maybe just because
they want to be here specifically for U for Thursday.
But it'll get started at two forty five on Thursday.
Exciting stuff, all right. So I recently had to look
and I'm still looking for a new gym. So the
gym that I go to has has closed down. I
think it was an issue with the lease rent going

(13:28):
up a lot. I think the building they were in
a shopping center got purchased, and I think the owner
now is going to go to a different direction. So
I've been looking at a different gym, and there's not
a ton of options, and I'm pretty sure I know
which one I'm what I'm gonna end up doing. But
I've been checking out a couple of different places and
one thing that I just can't quite I just can't
quite understand is the time in a man's life when

(13:52):
they hit a certain age, or maybe there's a certain moment.
It doesn't depend maybe it's not Maybe it's not age.
Maybe maybe it's a moment in life where you just
side in the in the locker room, the bathroom area
really of a gym, not a locker room of a team, right,
not your teammates, but just random strangers that you share
a bathroom that has showers. Let's not call it a

(14:14):
locker room. We're not athletes here. What does it? What
flips the switch to where you just decide you're no
longer gonna get out of the shower and put the
towel around your waist, You're going towel over the shoulders
and you're just walking around freely butt naked. I mean,

(14:35):
I again, there comes a time when everybody's life for
you just don't care, right Like, you're not worried about
your appearents, you don't care about how you look, you
don't care what people think. Fair enough, but how about
just some decency? I mean, nobody is I mean, I
shouldn't say nobody. I can't really speak for anybody but myself,
but I would imagine that those who go to the
gym and then want to go to the I mean,

(14:56):
first of all, if you got if you need to,
you need to. I don't shower at the gym if
I had to, I mean I would, but usually when
I go to the gym, I can go home and shower.
But some people aren't in that situation. They need to
shower because they got to go to work. And I
get it, but like I don't think many people are
are are expecting at any point during their day rather
it be work, gim whatever you do, where you're just

(15:18):
at times around a bunch of naked men, and I
don't get it. I remember going to the YMCA whenever
I was young with my dad, and it was it
was something like what's going on here? And it's something
that that I've been able to do. You know, I
don't see it often, but I was. I was checking
out another gym just to see and just the the

(15:40):
the being comfortable in that in that situation was just
like they're showing me around. We're walking into the locker
room as they call it, and sure enough I'm walking
in five dudes just completely naked, walking around, not in
a hurry to get clothes on, not in a you know,
not in any hurry to find, you know, a towel
or something to put on. They're just they're just walking around.
And I don't get it. I think it. I think

(16:01):
it's an older thing, not meaning like only old guys
do it, although it does seem seem to be the
older generation that does it. But I think, you know what,
am I my gen z? No, you're a millennial. I'm
a millennial? Okay, I get them confused? Are your gen z? Yeah,
I'm a gen z. We're both kind of friends. You're
on the younger side of millennials. I'm an older gen z, gotcha? Okay.
So maybe it's the millennials and the gen zs that

(16:23):
that sort of team up and really end this thing
to where, like, to me, if you know, say what
you want about the younger generation, we will make it
to where you no longer have to just see naked
men because it's I mean, you know, I'm not trying
to be the guy that says it's only old dudes,

(16:44):
but let's be honest. I think if you were to
truly run a report and get some real data here,
we probably get a We probably find out that if
you end up in a locker room. And again let's
just put it this way. Towel over the over the
over the shoulders around the neck, or the towel around
the waist. If we if we can pull an adit,
we can pull some real data. I think you would
find that there's many more of the towel over the

(17:05):
over the shoulders leading themselves exposed. Is more so the
older side. And again I get not caring, I get
not worrying, not and it's just you know, you got
you know what do you know? Bothered? Everybody sees anything.
You got nothing to hide, You're just living your life.
But like not everybody wants to see that. And I
know there's some people thinking, well, why you're looking. You

(17:28):
don't have to look? Well, oh you must have really know,
you must have been looking for it. No, I'm not.
You don't have to look for it. You could try
to avoid it, you can't avoid it. And also I
still think when you just happen to see somebody you
don't know, but dake it anywhere, is going to stand
out as a experience that you're just not used to.

(17:48):
So anyhow, I will say of all the gems that
I've I've only looked at three as far as and
one I've already been to before. I just went back
to see if, hey, do I want to come back
here or not. But either way, the one that actually
had the locker room that was a bunch of naked dudes,
it's probably the one I'll end up going to, not

(18:08):
because of that, but because it's it's the best option
for me. But yeah, I don't get it. I don't
get it. All right, let's get to an update of
trafficking weather and we'll keep it rolling along. Here. It
is seven forty one at news radio. Wait forty whas
all right, Thank you very much for hanging out with
us here on a Tuesday morning. It is seven forty eight.
Appreciate you hanging out with us. Take us with you

(18:30):
wherever you go. You can listen live on the iHeartRadio app.
Also listen live at whas dot com. So this is
the first I'm hearing of a screwworm, but it sounds
it sounds scary as can be, John, have you ever
heard of a screwworm? No, don't. I don't want to
know what it is either. I feel like I got
a grumpy neighbor one time that called me a screwworm
for you know, being a knucklehead in the neighborhood. But

(18:52):
maybe I'm just thinking when I think of screwworm, that's
what it takes me back to. But screwworms are a
real thing, and they're a real scary thing because ranchers
and health officials are on high alert because we now
have I guess, the first case of somebody in America
that has been bitten by a screwworm. So this new
world screwworm is spreading and it's a flesh eating parasite

(19:14):
capable of killing livestock in days, it says. The first
US human case was confirmed last month, and while the
patient has recovered, concerns remained high, especially in the states
that border Mexico. So what it is. It's a parasite
fly whose larva I guess. It burrows into open wounds,
feeding on tissue and this is gross. But it primarily

(19:36):
affects livestock, pet wildlife, and occasionally humans. One female can
lay up to three thousand eggs during its short lifespan.
So it's been found mostly in the Caribbean, South America
and Mexico. The Maryland case was linked to somebody who
had recently traveled to El Salvador. So USDA is deploying
a five part prevention plan, including releasing sterile flies in

(20:01):
Texas to halt reproduction, and approach that has apparently worked before.
I guess it worked back in twenty seventeen in the
state of Florida. So this isn't just a concern for
you know, an individual, a human getting it. But if
it gets a lot, I mean, not only is that dangerous,
I mean, look it gets if it's killing livestock at
the rate it potentially can. As far as just how
dangerous it is, that's no good. But yeah, screw worm.

(20:22):
That's a first one. That's the first one for me.
But ye be advised. And again it's nice to know
that they have had this happened before and they were
able to I guess follow that prevention plan and at work.
So fingers crossed that works this time around. Two fellas,
listen up, it's time once again to talk about my
good friends over at the Louisville Men's Clinic. I know

(20:42):
many of you listening right now. Just assume that you'll
never need any help from the Louisville Men's Clinic because
you're manly enough. Well, I'm telling you you're probably wrong
at a certain point when you get to a certain age,
and that age is different for a lot of people.
You no longer are going to produce the amount of
testosteron that you need to be energized get the same
benefits of your workouts. For me, I lost my edge.
Had no clue why. I just assumed that it was

(21:04):
part of getting older, and it was to an extent.
But something wouldn't adding up. So finally I went to
talk to our friends at the Lovell Men's Clinic. I
got my levels checked and my testosterone levels were nowhere
near where they needed to be for somebody in my
age range. Well, now they are, and I feel better
than I have for a good stretch of my thirties.
It's not a stretch to say that it's changed my life.
I didn't know what I didn't know, and I'm sure
many of you listening right now are in the same position.

(21:25):
You think you're fine, and look you probably are, but
don't you want to feel better? Don't you want to
feel like you're getting the most out of your workouts.
It never hurts to give them a call or go
see them. Babou two five four four four thousand is
the number. Louisvillemen'sclinic dot com is the website. Go get
your levels checked. Who knows, Maybe they can help you
like they help me. All right, We've got you covered
when it comes to traffic, in weather. Look at those

(21:45):
updates and also another sports update coming with Scott Fitzgerald
right here on news radio eight forty whas
