Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thank you, John.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
It is seven oh five here Kentucky in this morning
news on news Radio eight forty whas Nick coffee with you.
Happy hump Day Wednesday is upon us and a busy,
busy morning we have had thus far. As far as
what's happening with America's involvement in the Iran Israel situation,
(00:21):
these next twenty four to forty eight hours are believed
to be critical. In fact, President Trump met with his
top advisors in the White House yesterday and said that
that exact thing, that the next twenty four to forty
eight hours are going to be critical as far as
what type of stance we see, And certainly it is
it's a question many are are asking with clearly no
(00:43):
answer just yet, but are we going to war? And again,
I don't have the answer to that, but we'll talk
to Rory O'Neil coming up a little bit later on
within the show here. And I'm not going to put
the task on Rory to tell us if in fact
we are for sure going to war and really what's
going to play out over these next forty eight hours,
but would he's certainly somebody we can lean on when
it comes to giving us the latest also a change
(01:06):
to the change took place yesterday Friday, is whenever President
Trump decided to inform ICE that when it comes to
these immigration raids, to no longer pursue those that are
working in certain industries and we're talking farms, hotels, restaurants.
There was a pause, but it was brief because yesterday
(01:27):
we now know that that is over and we're now
back to expecting ICE to enforce the immigration plans from
Trump in full force, regardless of what industry that you
are working in. So again a quick turnaround here, and
I mean, you've got to prioritize immigration enforcement over economic concerns,
(01:49):
and that's a balancing act. But what really stands out
from my perspective is that what, first of all, I
guess we'll start at the beginning. What would make you
think that we weren'tn't heavily reliant upon immigrant workers before
the rates took place, right? I mean, that was a
known thing that if you end up just really enforcing
(02:11):
this the way you want, getting rid of anybody and
everybody who is in fact in this country illegally, regardless
of their age, regardless of what work they do, I mean,
you would have to know that that would be something
that is going to impact the economy. And I guess
there was clear proof of that. I shouldn't say proof,
maybe there wasn't proof just yet, but something led to
(02:33):
President Trump deciding to make it to make a change.
But again it was very, very brief. So it's one
of the instances where you really don't know exactly are
you are you full? And I'm not necessarily sharing an
opinion on what should be done here as far as
how you want to go about it, who you want
to really target when it comes to immigrants that are
(02:55):
here illegally, But the inconsistency, I just think it's somewhat
of a poor look when it comes to the leadership.
So I mean, maybe once again, if in fact there
is a real maybe we do get proof. Maybe it
is a real glaring issue that these ice raids that
are getting rid of so many people that are here
(03:16):
illegally but do work in industries that we rely on
them because they're a big part of that workforce. If
it hits the economy to such an extent, I guess
now I can't say that there would be any surprise
on my end if in fact they do another brief
pause as far as just targeting those specific immigrants that
(03:36):
are working in those industries. And usually when when you
hear President Trump lay out what he intends to do
and how eager he is to do it, I mean
he seems full go more often than not. So then
to see that pause and then a quick unpause, it
makes me wonder, Okay, wouldn't shock me if we get
another pause at really any moment now. So again, that
(03:58):
is something that will continue to honitor not only the
ice rates that are going on across the country and
with industries it's impacting, but also what's going on with
Iran in Israel. And again the next twenty four to
forty eight hours are believed to be very critical and
we'll keep you updated as best we can here on
News Radio eight forty whas. A lot more to get
(04:19):
into throughout the morning here. The Louisville Cardinals are moving
on well, they survive, They're still around in the College
World Series in Omaha. That is certainly exciting. Also, I
have some more thoughts to share on the big news
that was broke here with us on News Radio eight
forty whas, and that is Tom Jurich getting honored at
u of L by both not only the university but
(04:40):
the city, and I just think it's a positive situation
all the way around, and it's a good time to
do it because there's really good energy seemingly right now
when it comes to UL athletics.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
So stick with us.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
We've got an update of traffic and weather coming your way,
an update on sports coming up in about fifteen minutes
right here on news Radio eight forty WHS seven seventeen
here at Kentucky. In this morning news with Nick Coffee
on news Radio eight forty WHAS, take us with you
wherever you go. You can listen live on the iHeartRadio app.
Also listen live at WHAS dot com. We've got an
(05:15):
update of sports coming your way in about eight minutes.
Also an update of traffic and weather coming up in
just a few minutes. When it comes to the news
here locally, our partners over WKY a couple of stories
that they're tracking and I'm sure you'll hear about throughout
the day here at NewsRadio eight forty WHS. Involves crimes
that involve juveniles. We had a story yesterday where a
(05:39):
second arrest was made in a situation that took place
earlier this month, on June sixth, and you've got now,
I believe, two juveniles that have been arrested and charged
with complicity to first degree assault possession of a handgun
by a minor. And then, of course another story that
we've already heard a little bit about this morning. I
(06:00):
know John Shannon and his news update did touch on this,
but headline community pleading for justice after boy dies in
Algonquin neighborhood. And this is obviously tragic in any way,
but certainly when you think about children being involved, whether
it be the victim or the perpetrator. And I think
when you become a parent, you really see things differently.
(06:22):
And I know everybody's different, so I can only speak
for myself, but I know I'm not alone that when
you become a parent, life just a little bit different.
And the thought of juveniles children being either again involved
in any way is a scary, scary thing. But just
the fact that seemingly so many in the community are
(06:43):
exposed to it without any intent to be involved in
any way. I mean, it's just it's I wish it
wasn't I'll put it this way. I wish it was
way more surprising when you see headlines of violent crime
that involved juveniles, and it's been a growing concern. And
when you look at the data, again, it's not just
(07:05):
those that are victims, it's also those that are that
are criminals themselves, particularly in homicides. So in twenty twenty four,
Louisville recorded over one hundred and forty homicides, which was
which was down from one point fifty. Yeah, it decreased
from one fifty and twenty twenty three and one fifty
seven in twenty twenty two. However, the proportion of juveniles
(07:27):
involved in these types of crimes has risen and it
is it's been described as a as as an epidemic
by those in our community that are leaders, and it's
but I don't know. I mean, if there was an
easy fix, I think would we would have it in place?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I think it it I think it starts at home
with parents.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
But again, I mean that's not to say that you
can do everything you can as far as being involved
in your kid's life and trying to keep them away
from an environment that may lead to them becoming a
victim or falling into a criminal lifestyle at a young age.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
It's just scary, scary stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
And what really stood out to me this morning is
that those those type of headlines, although they don't happen
maybe every day, they're no longer in any way a surprise,
and that that's that's awful. I don't have the fix.
If I did, I probably wouldn't be a loud mouth
on the radio with you guys this morning. I'd probably
be in a different position. But scary scary stuff, no doubt. Again,
it's these are these are children, and it's it's it
(08:27):
seems to be only getting worse as far as just
these types of crimes that involved again kids, children. All Right,
it is seven twenty. We've got an update of sports
coming your way in about five minutes. We'll get an
update on traffic and weather first right here on news
radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Thank you, John. It is seven thirty five here because
I get his morning.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
News with Nick Coffee on News radio eight forty whas.
So I've got a survey I want to want to
take a look at here. So this is a recent
survey that reveals small yet every day moments that stress
Americans out, Little things that others do that really irritate
(09:07):
and I can I can I guess the best way
to as far as what I gather here in regards
to like the best example, it's something that you know
is not a huge deal. It's not it's not like
is if somebody has offended you, insulted you. They didn't
you know, they didn't hit you. But it's something little
that they probably don't even realize they're doing potentially, or
(09:28):
maybe they realize they're doing it, but they have no clue,
no awareness that it can be really really annoying to
some I'm gonna list off what these top answers are
as far as the survey here, and we'll see if
these things are annoying to you guys, and then we'll
also maybe throw in our own because I've got some
that aren't listed here, and they're also little things that
(09:50):
may annoy you, but nobody else would ever find it annoying.
Everybody's different. But the number one stressor for every day,
everyday life is seeing somebody that you don't want to
talk to. Forty six percent say, uh, this spikes their
stress when they see someone that they don't want to
talk to, But the other person meeting the person they saw,
(10:10):
they're either unaware that that person doesn't want to talk
to them or they just don't care.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, I've been there. I mean you see it in
cube farms all the time that people are going to
work today. Let's be honest, there's that person who wanders
around sure, yeah, the.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Office and just roaming my pet looking for looking for
somebody to just talk their face off.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
My pet beab is when I sit down for lunch. Yeah,
and because that's my personal time, I'm with you three yeah,
and then they show and they think you're just eating
lunch so they can just sit there and the appway
then and like no, Or I have a chair in
my office, and what I do is I put my
bag in there because if I don't, people will just
casually walk by.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
And I actually have.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
One person in the office that used to move my
bag and sit down.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, that's somebody who just clearly doesn't can't read the room. Right.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
So I don't really deal with any of that because
my day to day is not like most as far
as just being in a workplace throughout it a full
work day. But one of the benefits I think of,
and if there was, there weren't many. But during the pandemic.
When you wore masks, you felt less likely to run
into somebody, you know. And it's not that I avoid
(11:16):
people that might want to have a conversation. But maybe
this is me just admitting that I'm that I'm not
the most social. But there are certain people that I
genuinely like. But if I do see them, I'm not
going to be bothered if they don't see me, And
I'm not going to go out of my way and say, hey,
how you doing, just because you know, like it would
just be the casual. There's nothing wrong with a little
(11:38):
small talk, Hey, how you doing, how you've been right?
But then like there's that awkwardness of all right, we
don't really have anything else to say. We probably could
have just waived, but now we're standing here not really
knowing what to ask because we're friendly, we're acquaintances, but like,
you know, how's your family? You know, not to say
you don't care about their family, but I don't know,
Like I did like that aspect of the masks on
(12:00):
at stores to where I didn't have to worry about
I mean, I'm an introvert, which again is a weird
thing to do. Yeah, it's just unlikely. It's not common
in what we do to be introverted.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Actually, you probably be surprised because if you I've heard
from so many people in this business when you talk
for a living, like the last thing they want to
do is go talk and to your point, then you get.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Does that makes sense? You go to that? Relate to that,
you go.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
To that awkward point in the conversation where the conversation's
over one of you has to do Guys like when
you shake hands, who pulls their hand away first when
you shake hands?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, everybody, without even knowing it, probably has a an
exit strategy for conversation. And the most common one is
all right right, the all right That is a way
to just kind of, you know, say that you're done
with the conversation. And but yet some people don't pick
up on that, and that's where you end up in
those awkward situations.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
John, What annoys you and what annoys me?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Like little things like talking about people that chew loud,
people who are just always loud. You got anything, I'll
give you one way you think about it, go ahead.
People who talk on speakerphone in public.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yes, oh my god, I noticed that the other day.
I know it stores.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Now, yeah, it's it's just not necessary, and it's I
think it's rude. And another this is actually we were
at dinner over the weekend and it wasn't It wasn't
somebody talking on speakerphone. I thought they were, and then
I realized, oh no, they're doing talk to text aloud
to where not only are people some people out here
(13:29):
having phone calls where you can hear everything, but now
they're they're they're basically letting you know what they want
to send to somebody to text message because they can hit.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
The talk to text. So I've got one. But you
got people who are too lazy to put their shopping
cart back in the car corral. That's pretty common. But
that's something that comes to mind.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
That's a good one, and that's something that like that
doesn't typically I guess it can, but that's an annoyance
to you, even when it doesn't impact you right like
it didn't hit your car, it didn't get in your way.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
But when you just see somebody was so lazy do
they especially could walk were fighting next to the to
the car, cryer like I'm just gonna leave it right
here inside the parking spot instead.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
And this one's going to make me sound like I've
got a road rage. And I promise you I'm not
coming from that place. But maybe I'm in denial. But
slow turners, you don't need to come to a complete
stop to make to make your turn. I mean, you know,
you don't need to be going fifty over the speed
limit when you hit the when you hit a right.
But when some people take so long to turn, then
(14:27):
you end up catching a light. And had they you know,
have they gone a little faster. And I'm not talking
about speeding. I'm talking about just, you know, not coming
to nearly a complete stop.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
To your point, I saw a TikTok video yesterday along
those lines when you're driving down in like say seventy one,
and a truck goes to get around to another truck
but doesn't go quite fast enough and you're kind of
pinned behind them, and you got to wait, oh like
three or four miles before they finally get around the
other truck man.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
You are so right about that.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
That using that speakerphone on their phones when they're walking.
Oh my god, I see that so much.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I mean, we were we were in the waiting, We
were in the waiting room, or I was in the
waiting room at an appointment last week, and I mean,
this woman just having a full I mean, I feel
like that's part of the family, right, an open personal conversation.
I can hear hurry app and I can hear the
other person, and you know, yeah, it just to me,
it seems kind of rude, but I'm glad you miss
that may not even be something people notice.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Again.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
We think we all have little things that bother us,
and we probably wish that they didn't bother us.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
But they do so good stuff. All right, We've got.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Another update of trafficking weather coming your way right here
on news radio eight forty WHS.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Seven forty seven. Here Konsecuy had it's morning News with.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Nick Coffee on news Radio eight forty whas just a
few minutes away from another update on traffick and weather.
We've got sports coming your way in about eight minutes time.
So hang out with us again right here on news
radio eight forty whas it was I guess roughly twenty
three hours ago where the mayor Mayor Greenberg joined me
here to break the news that the city, as well
(15:52):
as the University of Louisville are coming together to honor
Tom Jeurge, former UFL athletic director. And I think the
timing of this couldn't be better. And this was, by
the way in place before the momentum continued to rise
as far as just good vibes, good energy with U
OFL Athletics. But I feel like when you are reminded
that this, you know, this fan base does have a
(16:15):
really good presence within college baseball where when you've got
a regional or a super regional like they had here
at Jim Patterson Stadium last week, and you see it
sold out, you see the fan base well represented, looking
like a great atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
And then of course in Omaha, A.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Scott's mentioned throughout the morning and at Sports Updates the
cardination that showed up there in Omaha. Man, they look good.
And I don't mean they look like beautiful people. They
are beautiful people. I'm just saying like, there's a lot
of them. They're into it, and it's just awesome to see.
It's a great look for the program, this fan base,
and there's a lot of value in that. And what
that does is it reminds me of oh, yeah, it's
(16:53):
been a while since Louisville baseball made this kind of
a run in the postseason, but it was all started
with Dan McDonnell. And not to say that there wasn't
some success with baseball to an extent, but here's the facts.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Louisville had never.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Won a postseason game before Dan McDonald got hired, and
his first year he takes them to the College World Series.
They've now been there six times. This is their third
finish in the top four, and they're not finished yet.
I just say that if they if it ends today,
which it may, I mean, this is the third time
they've been a final four team essentially in college baseball.
And I bring all this up to say that Tom
Jurich won made the phenomenal hire of Dan McDonald, But
(17:27):
the foundation was established to where this thing was so
good for a good stretch, and it's always been relatively good.
They just had some down years kind of navigating the
new world with Nil and the portal, and they had
a really really good team that got to play a
few games before college baseball and got canceled back in
twenty twenty. So I just think when you look at
(17:48):
the coaches that are in place right now, because Josh
Hurd has done a phenomenal job at making hires.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
There's really good energy.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Not only with just the athletic department, but you can
just tell that when you see when you see coaches
interacting with one another. You see Jeff Brahms showing up
at these games, and you see Pat Kelsey supporting all
the sports here. I mean he was a die hard
fan of Danny Busboom Kelly when that volleyball team was
on their run last year. That's infectious. Fans eat that
(18:17):
stuff up, seeing the coaches working together and supporting one another.
And I think these coaches are all really good coaches,
those that are having success. So I don't want to
I want to act like I don't want to act
as if you know, Tom Jurich is responsible for all
of their success. But the athletic department at U of
L and the foundation that he set makes it to
where if you can coach, which I think clearly there's
(18:39):
some good coaches over there on Floyd Street, it's it's established,
meaning the foundation, the resources are there.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You can win here.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
It's been proven, and that really got rolling with U
of L Athletics. Outside of basketball, basketball is a different
world because of just what Denny Crumb built it to be,
but everything else Tom laid the foundation for that. So
I don't think it's an exaggeration. This is not hyperbole
to say that the success that's currently going on and
the success in the future, it's not possible without the
(19:06):
run that Tom Juridge had here. And that's why, regardless
of the messy exit that certainly did happen, he needs
to have this type of honor because without him, I
don't know what Louisville Athletics looks like, and I like
how it looks right now. And again it's not just Tom,
but certainly he had a huge factor. So very happy
(19:26):
that that's going to happen later this month, June twenty
eighth at ten am, So get out there and you
can support Tom, support you of AL athletics and certainly
going to be a big day. All Right, We've got
another update of traffic and weather coming your way, and
then an update on sports. So stick around here on
News Radio eight forty whas
Thank you, John.

second arrest was made in a situation that took place
earlier this month, on June sixth, and you've got now,
I believe, two juveniles that have been arrested and charged
with complicity to first degree assault possession of a handgun
by a minor. And then, of course another story that
we've already heard a little bit about this morning. I
(06:00):
know John Shannon and his news update did touch on this,
but headline community pleading for justice after boy dies in
Algonquin neighborhood. And this is obviously tragic in any way,
but certainly when you think about children being involved, whether
it be the victim or the perpetrator. And I think
when you become a parent, you really see things differently.
(06:22):
And I know everybody's different, so I can only speak
for myself, but I know I'm not alone that when
you become a parent, life just a little bit different.
And the thought of juveniles children being either again involved
in any way is a scary, scary thing. But just
the fact that seemingly so many in the community are
(06:43):
exposed to it without any intent to be involved in
any way. I mean, it's just it's I wish it
wasn't I'll put it this way. I wish it was
way more surprising when you see headlines of violent crime
that involved juveniles, and it's been a growing concern. And
when you look at the data, again, it's not just
(07:05):
those that are victims, it's also those that are that
are criminals themselves, particularly in homicides. So in twenty twenty four,
Louisville recorded over one hundred and forty homicides, which was
which was down from one point fifty. Yeah, it decreased
from one fifty and twenty twenty three and one fifty
seven in twenty twenty two. However, the proportion of juveniles
(07:27):
involved in these types of crimes has risen and it
is it's been described as a as as an epidemic
by those in our community that are leaders, and it's
but I don't know. I mean, if there was an
easy fix, I think would we would have it in place?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I think it it I think it starts at home
with parents.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
But again, I mean that's not to say that you
can do everything you can as far as being involved
in your kid's life and trying to keep them away
from an environment that may lead to them becoming a
victim or falling into a criminal lifestyle at a young age.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
It's just scary, scary stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
And what really stood out to me this morning is
that those those type of headlines, although they don't happen
maybe every day, they're no longer in any way a surprise,
and that that's that's awful. I don't have the fix.
If I did, I probably wouldn't be a loud mouth
on the radio with you guys this morning. I'd probably
be in a different position. But scary scary stuff, no doubt. Again,
it's these are these are children, and it's it's it
(08:27):
seems to be only getting worse as far as just
these types of crimes that involved again kids, children. All Right,
it is seven twenty. We've got an update of sports
coming your way in about five minutes. We'll get an
update on traffic and weather first right here on news
radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Thank you, John. It is seven thirty five here because
I get his morning.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
News with Nick Coffee on News radio eight forty whas.
So I've got a survey I want to want to
take a look at here. So this is a recent
survey that reveals small yet every day moments that stress
Americans out, Little things that others do that really irritate
(09:07):
and I can I can I guess the best way
to as far as what I gather here in regards
to like the best example, it's something that you know
is not a huge deal. It's not it's not like
is if somebody has offended you, insulted you. They didn't
you know, they didn't hit you. But it's something little
that they probably don't even realize they're doing potentially, or
(09:28):
maybe they realize they're doing it, but they have no clue,
no awareness that it can be really really annoying to
some I'm gonna list off what these top answers are
as far as the survey here, and we'll see if
these things are annoying to you guys, and then we'll
also maybe throw in our own because I've got some
that aren't listed here, and they're also little things that
(09:50):
may annoy you, but nobody else would ever find it annoying.
Everybody's different. But the number one stressor for every day,
everyday life is seeing somebody that you don't want to
talk to. Forty six percent say, uh, this spikes their
stress when they see someone that they don't want to
talk to, But the other person meeting the person they saw,
(10:10):
they're either unaware that that person doesn't want to talk
to them or they just don't care.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, I've been there. I mean you see it in
cube farms all the time that people are going to
work today. Let's be honest, there's that person who wanders
around sure, yeah, the.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Office and just roaming my pet looking for looking for
somebody to just talk their face off.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
My pet beab is when I sit down for lunch. Yeah,
and because that's my personal time, I'm with you three yeah,
and then they show and they think you're just eating
lunch so they can just sit there and the appway
then and like no, Or I have a chair in
my office, and what I do is I put my
bag in there because if I don't, people will just
casually walk by.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
And I actually have.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
One person in the office that used to move my
bag and sit down.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, that's somebody who just clearly doesn't can't read the room. Right.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
So I don't really deal with any of that because
my day to day is not like most as far
as just being in a workplace throughout it a full
work day. But one of the benefits I think of,
and if there was, there weren't many. But during the pandemic.
When you wore masks, you felt less likely to run
into somebody, you know. And it's not that I avoid
(11:16):
people that might want to have a conversation. But maybe
this is me just admitting that I'm that I'm not
the most social. But there are certain people that I
genuinely like. But if I do see them, I'm not
going to be bothered if they don't see me, And
I'm not going to go out of my way and say, hey,
how you doing, just because you know, like it would
just be the casual. There's nothing wrong with a little
(11:38):
small talk, Hey, how you doing, how you've been right?
But then like there's that awkwardness of all right, we
don't really have anything else to say. We probably could
have just waived, but now we're standing here not really
knowing what to ask because we're friendly, we're acquaintances, but like,
you know, how's your family? You know, not to say
you don't care about their family, but I don't know,
Like I did like that aspect of the masks on
(12:00):
at stores to where I didn't have to worry about
I mean, I'm an introvert, which again is a weird
thing to do. Yeah, it's just unlikely. It's not common
in what we do to be introverted.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Actually, you probably be surprised because if you I've heard
from so many people in this business when you talk
for a living, like the last thing they want to
do is go talk and to your point, then you get.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Does that makes sense? You go to that? Relate to that,
you go.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
To that awkward point in the conversation where the conversation's
over one of you has to do Guys like when
you shake hands, who pulls their hand away first when
you shake hands?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, everybody, without even knowing it, probably has a an
exit strategy for conversation. And the most common one is
all right right, the all right That is a way
to just kind of, you know, say that you're done
with the conversation. And but yet some people don't pick
up on that, and that's where you end up in
those awkward situations.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
John, What annoys you and what annoys me?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Like little things like talking about people that chew loud,
people who are just always loud. You got anything, I'll
give you one way you think about it, go ahead.
People who talk on speakerphone in public.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yes, oh my god, I noticed that the other day.
I know it stores.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Now, yeah, it's it's just not necessary, and it's I
think it's rude. And another this is actually we were
at dinner over the weekend and it wasn't It wasn't
somebody talking on speakerphone. I thought they were, and then
I realized, oh no, they're doing talk to text aloud
to where not only are people some people out here
(13:29):
having phone calls where you can hear everything, but now
they're they're they're basically letting you know what they want
to send to somebody to text message because they can hit.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
The talk to text. So I've got one. But you
got people who are too lazy to put their shopping
cart back in the car corral. That's pretty common. But
that's something that comes to mind.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
That's a good one, and that's something that like that
doesn't typically I guess it can, but that's an annoyance
to you, even when it doesn't impact you right like
it didn't hit your car, it didn't get in your way.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
But when you just see somebody was so lazy do
they especially could walk were fighting next to the to
the car, cryer like I'm just gonna leave it right
here inside the parking spot instead.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
And this one's going to make me sound like I've
got a road rage. And I promise you I'm not
coming from that place. But maybe I'm in denial. But
slow turners, you don't need to come to a complete
stop to make to make your turn. I mean, you know,
you don't need to be going fifty over the speed
limit when you hit the when you hit a right.
But when some people take so long to turn, then
(14:27):
you end up catching a light. And had they you know,
have they gone a little faster. And I'm not talking
about speeding. I'm talking about just, you know, not coming
to nearly a complete stop.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
To your point, I saw a TikTok video yesterday along
those lines when you're driving down in like say seventy one,
and a truck goes to get around to another truck
but doesn't go quite fast enough and you're kind of
pinned behind them, and you got to wait, oh like
three or four miles before they finally get around the
other truck man.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
You are so right about that.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
That using that speakerphone on their phones when they're walking.
Oh my god, I see that so much.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I mean, we were we were in the waiting, We
were in the waiting room, or I was in the
waiting room at an appointment last week, and I mean,
this woman just having a full I mean, I feel
like that's part of the family, right, an open personal conversation.
I can hear hurry app and I can hear the
other person, and you know, yeah, it just to me,
it seems kind of rude, but I'm glad you miss
that may not even be something people notice.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Again.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
We think we all have little things that bother us,
and we probably wish that they didn't bother us.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
But they do so good stuff. All right, We've got.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Another update of trafficking weather coming your way right here
on news radio eight forty WHS.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Seven forty seven. Here Konsecuy had it's morning News with.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Nick Coffee on news Radio eight forty whas just a
few minutes away from another update on traffick and weather.
We've got sports coming your way in about eight minutes time.
So hang out with us again right here on news
radio eight forty whas it was I guess roughly twenty
three hours ago where the mayor Mayor Greenberg joined me
here to break the news that the city, as well
(15:52):
as the University of Louisville are coming together to honor
Tom Jeurge, former UFL athletic director. And I think the
timing of this couldn't be better. And this was, by
the way in place before the momentum continued to rise
as far as just good vibes, good energy with U
OFL Athletics. But I feel like when you are reminded
that this, you know, this fan base does have a
(16:15):
really good presence within college baseball where when you've got
a regional or a super regional like they had here
at Jim Patterson Stadium last week, and you see it
sold out, you see the fan base well represented, looking
like a great atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
And then of course in Omaha, A.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Scott's mentioned throughout the morning and at Sports Updates the
cardination that showed up there in Omaha. Man, they look good.
And I don't mean they look like beautiful people. They
are beautiful people. I'm just saying like, there's a lot
of them. They're into it, and it's just awesome to see.
It's a great look for the program, this fan base,
and there's a lot of value in that. And what
that does is it reminds me of oh, yeah, it's
(16:53):
been a while since Louisville baseball made this kind of
a run in the postseason, but it was all started
with Dan McDonnell. And not to say that there wasn't
some success with baseball to an extent, but here's the facts.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Louisville had never.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Won a postseason game before Dan McDonald got hired, and
his first year he takes them to the College World Series.
They've now been there six times. This is their third
finish in the top four, and they're not finished yet.
I just say that if they if it ends today,
which it may, I mean, this is the third time
they've been a final four team essentially in college baseball.
And I bring all this up to say that Tom
Jurich won made the phenomenal hire of Dan McDonald, But
(17:27):
the foundation was established to where this thing was so
good for a good stretch, and it's always been relatively good.
They just had some down years kind of navigating the
new world with Nil and the portal, and they had
a really really good team that got to play a
few games before college baseball and got canceled back in
twenty twenty. So I just think when you look at
(17:48):
the coaches that are in place right now, because Josh
Hurd has done a phenomenal job at making hires.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
There's really good energy.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Not only with just the athletic department, but you can
just tell that when you see when you see coaches
interacting with one another. You see Jeff Brahms showing up
at these games, and you see Pat Kelsey supporting all
the sports here. I mean he was a die hard
fan of Danny Busboom Kelly when that volleyball team was
on their run last year. That's infectious. Fans eat that
(18:17):
stuff up, seeing the coaches working together and supporting one another.
And I think these coaches are all really good coaches,
those that are having success. So I don't want to
I want to act like I don't want to act
as if you know, Tom Jurich is responsible for all
of their success. But the athletic department at U of
L and the foundation that he set makes it to
where if you can coach, which I think clearly there's
(18:39):
some good coaches over there on Floyd Street, it's it's established,
meaning the foundation, the resources are there.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You can win here.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
It's been proven, and that really got rolling with U
of L Athletics. Outside of basketball, basketball is a different
world because of just what Denny Crumb built it to be,
but everything else Tom laid the foundation for that. So
I don't think it's an exaggeration. This is not hyperbole
to say that the success that's currently going on and
the success in the future, it's not possible without the
(19:06):
run that Tom Juridge had here. And that's why, regardless
of the messy exit that certainly did happen, he needs
to have this type of honor because without him, I
don't know what Louisville Athletics looks like, and I like
how it looks right now. And again it's not just Tom,
but certainly he had a huge factor. So very happy
(19:26):
that that's going to happen later this month, June twenty
eighth at ten am, So get out there and you
can support Tom, support you of AL athletics and certainly
going to be a big day. All Right, We've got
another update of traffic and weather coming your way, and
then an update on sports. So stick around here on
