Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, Thanks for hanging out with
us here at six five on a Wednesday morning. Happy
hump day, I should say, Nick, coffee with you, the
company man John All on the alongside. It is coffee
and company, and we are fueled by Thornton's. So we've
got the postseason starting for all three local teams here
in the area. So Louisville playing today at two thirty
(00:22):
in Kentucky? Did I it's their game at noon? Is
that right? So's either twelve or twelve thirty? Okay, twelve thirty.
I mean, look, it's on the station. I should know. Yeah,
it's twelve thirty. For some reason, I was thinking it
was it was twelve thirty or one thirty, and then,
like an idiot I can be at times, something told
me noon. But look, don't worry, it's twelve thirty and
we'll have it for you right here. But Indiana Place tonight,
(00:43):
is that right?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Or yeah? Six thirty?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Okay? So again, all three local teams here as far
as the bigger programs in the in the Kentucky and area,
all going to get postseason play started today, and we
collectively will consume college basketball today unlike anybody else, And
because college basketball is such a big part of our culture.
(01:05):
I don't know if we realize at times just how
different we are when it comes to watching college basketball.
And it's not even necessarily just watching it, because we
clearly do that, but like it's a part of our
culture in a way that is just different than anybody else,
and I wouldn't have it any other way. And yesterday
(01:26):
was another reminder of that, because the top ten TV
markets for men's and women's college basketball telecasts this year
in the regular season was Louisville once again number one
for I'm not sure how many consecutive years, but I
mean it's been a long run. In fact, I do
think it dipped when the Kinny Payne era took place,
(01:47):
but not really much, because we still mean if there's
ever a sign that Louisville fans can't turn off and
can't quit their program, can't quit being a fan, that
they still stuck it out and watched through that disastrous era.
So Louisville's number one, Indianapolis, number two, Hertford and New Haven.
That's Connecticut. That's a tricky market, but they do love
(02:08):
college hoops up there in the northeast, Columbus Ohio number four,
Detroit number five, Milwaukee six, Dayton seven, Cincinnati eight, Minneapolis
Saint Paul number nine, and then Greensboro Winston Salem actually
came in at number ten. I know there's other ways
you could. Markets can be viewed differently, and there's some
that will have Greensboro, Winston Salem, Durham that that area there,
that tree the triangle there as as number two. But
(02:31):
again because some markets, you know, like a Dallas Fort Worth,
I mean it's technically one big market, but kind of
two cities. But it took me getting older and traveling
during college basketball season for me to really understand that
not only do we watch it at a high level,
but a lot of places don't, right, I mean, like
(02:52):
it just doesn't get much coverage. It's not it just
doesn't move the needle much in most places. So you know,
I'm not sure that if you live here and you
and you consume college basketball at a high level and
you don't really care what anybody else does, fair enough,
I'm kind of the same way. But but I do
think because we sort of just get caught up in
(03:13):
our own bubble, like a lot of people do in life.
It's easy to to you know, either forget or maybe
not even realize that. Oh, by the way, something that really,
you know, we consume at a high level. That's a
big part of our culture. There's not many other places.
In fact, there's nobody that does it quite like us.
And really, I mean, I can't think of any other
place to where college basketball just matters that much more
(03:34):
than anything else. Right, we watched the NFL a lot.
Obviously college football does well in this market, but when
it comes to college hoops and also another I mean,
I don't think this is that surprising, but I'm gonna
throw this at you, John, we dominate NBA draft ratings
as well as far as viewership.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Does that surprise you, No, not at all. I mean,
it definitely wouldn't have surprised me a decade ago whenever
Kentucky had you know, three, four or five draft picks
every single season in the first round specifically. But at
the same time, and I know that's kind of fallen
off in the last few years, but I mean, who
else is going to dominate that market? I guess maybe
the city where the draft is held. I know it's
not nearly as big of a deal as the NFL Draft,
(04:12):
of course, but is the Is the NBA Draft always
in New York or I'm so it's been.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
In New York and it's been in Chicago mostly, And
I tell you what, this has actually been an interesting
debate previously that the draft because it's is it a
college basketball event or is it a NBA event? I mean,
it's kind of both. But I think you could see
why NBA super fans are NBA fans of any team
(04:39):
would tune in to see, you know, what happens, because
obviously the draft is a big factor in the NBA
every year. But also if you're a college basketball fan,
you don't care about the NBA, you'll still watch that
because honestly, it's one of the rare, high profile college
basketball centric, you know events. I guess there's also guys
that get drafted from overseas, so that that's a little different.
(04:59):
But still, like, if you consume college basketball like a
crazy individual like we do around here, we would eat
the NBA Draft up because it's going to be, you know,
we're seeing where all these college players ended up. And
for a long long stretch there, John Caliperry was putting
you know, three, four and five sometimes in the draft,
you know, each year. So, yeah, the it's just different
around here. And I've lived long enough to know that
(05:22):
I've been a lunatic for a long enough time here
when it comes to this sport that if you don't
live here, you just don't get it. And I'm sure
you're fine without getting it.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But is this sounds like that just means more?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It does. I mean, it really does. And it's like
an emotional and honestly like a like a psych psychiatric
investment we make in college basketball from an early age.
That that's what makes us different around here. I mean,
at times can dictate our sanity, our mood, our happiness,
(05:56):
and like, once it gets in you, you can't really
turn it off even if you wanted to. Like the
pain of losing in a tournament game in the NCAA
tournament and it's all over your season ends, that's a
stronger emotion, I think than the joy of winning the win.
It feels great, but around here, more often than not,
like you expect to win. Clearly, there's been some recent
(06:18):
years at Louisville that has led to them not winning
a tournament game in a long time. But still, you know,
the real joy is not celebration at times, it's relief
to know that it didn't end and you still get
to continue playing on in what is the best postseason,
the best tournament in all of sports. So it's like
(06:38):
it's relief that you avoided the worst feeling you can
experience as a sports fan. Because around here, college basketball,
for most people, it's just it's different. There's some people
that really college basketball is the only sport they really
care about because they're not necessarily huge sports fans. It's
just such a big part of our culture that you
align with one of the two. Especially if you're in
the Louisville area. You probably grew up a Louisville fan
(06:59):
or a Kentucky and and again you make that investment
at a young age that that just it's hard to shake.
It rare. I'm sure there are people that have moved
on from it over the years, but I know I
couldn't if I tried. You know, is it is it
good for my long term health? Absolutely not, It can't be,
But I mean I wouldn't. I wouldn't have it any
(07:19):
other way. And I know for some people who just
really aren't sports centric. You're thinking, this guy's a lunatic.
What the hell's wrong with this guy? And look, fair question.
I'm just just being transparent with you. That's that's uh,
that's just how it goes. I mean, Indiana fans they know,
they know the same thing. I mean, they haven't had
a deep tournament run in a while, obviously, but.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It's not in ten years really.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But you know, if they get in the tournament and
you know, let's say they win the set, they win
their first round game, and they're in the round of
thirty two, at that point, they will have probably made
it further than most people wh would have expected two
three weeks ago because you didn't even know who were
going to get in, right, Yeah, but it won't matter.
You'll still be devastated when it's over, because that's just
that's that's how much it means to us around here.
So I'd take great pride that we do this differently
(08:02):
than anybody else. And I'm sure some people don't really
care and don't think it's something worth bragging about it.
I'm not even trying to brag, but like, I take
pride in the fact that, look, we are lunatics. For
this sport, and if you don't live here, you don't
get it. And I really do think collectively like the
reason that we like Louisville fan base is nowhere near
the size of Kentucky's fan base. We all know that,
(08:23):
but there's a lot of Louisville basketball fans. In fact,
Louisville's fan base would probably outnumber a lot, especially comparative schools,
you know, city schools, that kind of thing that's not
a state school and it's not coming from you know,
the Big ten of the SEC that has just such
a longer, a longer existence. So whenever both are good
(08:43):
or and it's good for college sports, there's no doubt
about it. When both are good and you've got people
consuming it, you know, because we'll be number one even
in down years as far as viewership. But whenever things
are rolling and you've got you know, the the fans
that you know typically probably wouldn't think about it, but hey,
they know, Hey, this is part of our culture and
(09:03):
things are going well, so I'm gonna I'm gonna jump back.
And that's that's what often say about you know, the
Young Center on a Tuesday night or whatever, or you know,
even even even len N Stadium for football, Like, if
you sell out your games, you gotta keep in mind
there's a good percentage of those fans that like are
there because it's the thing to do, not because they're
you know, eating and sleeping and breathing the sport. And
(09:26):
you need those people. And you know, we have so
many that love it and consume it at a high level.
But then there's also just the others that really again
they don't even identify, probably as big sports fans, but
they just know what this means around here because it's
part of our culture and I love it. All right,
stick around. Traffic and weather updates are on the way.
We'll see how how the roads are looking. I don't
know if there's been any range just yet, but it
(09:46):
is on the way and storms could be on the
way as well, so stick around. We'll get the details
from Suzanne Horrigan. All Right, here at news Radio eight
forty whas it is six thirty six. Here at news
Radio eight forty whas Coffee and Company. We are fueled
by Thornton's I am Nick, Coffee, the company man and
John all on alongside today. Appreciate you hanging with us.
(10:08):
So the JCPS board they shut down a plan that
was going to shake up special education staffing. Obviously a
lot going on with JCPS as they're navigating a one
and eighty eight million dollar budget shortfall and changes have
already been made and they're proposing more changes to get
themselves out of this financial hole, and with some of
(10:28):
these proposed changes, they're getting pushedback. It sounds like it
was another tense board meeting last night for JCPS, as
members voted down a major reorganization of the district's exceptional
it's the Exceptional Child Education Division, so this is the
department that serves students with disabilities. And as a parent
(10:52):
of a disabled child, a special needs child, I just
get a weird level of anxiousness and anxiety thinking about
scenarios where they had to to to make cuts and
how it could maybe make life a little harder for
for my my child. Uh So, not at all a
surprise that they're going to push back and just make
(11:13):
sure that the plan, whatever it is they come up with,
maybe it's this one, maybe they make changes to it,
it still looks out for for special needs children, and
obviously anybody making any recommendations and as far as how
to navigate this financial hell that they're in. Nobody's doing
it without keeping all children in mind. But you just
simply have to make you have you have to make cuts,
(11:34):
you have to make changes and adjustments. And so again
I don't I don't. I don't say that what was
proposed last night was was disrespectful or out of line,
because one, I don't know enough about it. But also,
you know that would be unfair to think that they're
I mean that would but they may make that would
make no sense. But obviously you do clearly have to
to treat every situation different. And when it comes to
(11:56):
special needs and disabled children, you know there's things you
simply can't cut because of cost, because you just have
to you have to look out for So it was
a four to three vote that rejected Yearwood's revised plan.
It was to cut work days and reshuffle positions in
special education, and the members last night that spoke said
the proposal was rushed, confusing, and it risked undercutting services
(12:19):
for some of the most vulnerable students in the district.
That was a quote from somebody that spoke last night
on the board. So I would imagine this is going
to be sort of a rinse repeat situation. And what
I mean is there's going to be pushed back sometimes
just to push back to make sure it's not rushed,
and they're really evaluating it fully to make sure that
while trimming and cutting because they have to, they're doing
(12:42):
it in the most efficient way possible that will cause
the least amount of impact for students. But really just
a tough situation all the way around, because there's no
easy way to do this at all, and I want
people to keep that in mind. I mean, maybe we'll
get to year down the line and we'll look back
and say that doctor Brian Yearwood didn't do a good job,
(13:04):
and he wasn't a good superintendent. I just think right now,
it's almost impossible to know that, and it's easy to
just know of the situation and then think of the
head of the snake, if you will, right, the guy
that's in charge, and that's him. But he had literally
nothing to do with the current situation they're in. He's
just here to have to clean it up. And I
(13:25):
know he's making a lot of money, but what a
thankless job. I mean, I cannot imagine that being a
fun job. I would imagine, like a lot of people
who do get into the world of education, you are fulfilled,
probably for a variety of reasons, but one of those
reasons being that you know what you do is very
important and with it comes tough decisions. But you take
(13:47):
it as a badge of honor to be given that
responsibility when it's something that's so important. So I mean,
I would imagine that's the case, or I don't really
know why you do it. Again, you can make a
good living in positions like he has, but I'll tell you,
I don't think i'd be built for it. I don't
think I would do well knowing that no matter what,
it's just going to be a constant wave of negativity
(14:11):
and people telling me that I did something wrong. So
I guess more than anything, you just have to accept it.
You have to just know that. Look, no matter what,
there's going to be people to do it, so block
it out. But yeah, again, I'm not built to do that.
I don't think I'll never know, but don't think I
do well. All right, let me talk to you guys
about my friends at the Louisville Men's Clinic. The louill
Men's Clinic has been around for a long long time.
Over ten years now, they've been helping hundreds of men
(14:34):
in the Kentucky and area. And they do it a
little bit differently than some of their so called competitors.
And what I mean by that is, you know, there's
not a lot of flashy, you know, gimmicky kind of
stuff like their results, their professionalism, their consistency. That's what
makes them the leader in what it is that they
(14:55):
do and what it is that they do. It's a
lot of things they help when it comes to getting
your testosterone levels where they need to be for your
age range, which that alone can can substantially change your
quality of life. I know that firsthand. That's how they
help me. They can also help you when it comes
to losing weight. Right, there's a lot of different options
out there when it comes to weight loss, and they've
(15:17):
got weight management therapy programs. They can get you on
the right supplements, the right medication and get you on
the right track to really trimming some weight. I know
there's some folks that have taken that approach when it
comes to the men's clinic, not just for ED or
the testosterone, but to lose weight. And if you are
somebody that really wants to kind of just re reshape
(15:42):
yourself a little bit, right, Like the benefit of the
testosterone supplement to get you on track is to where
you will start getting more out of your workouts. You
will start noticing, hey, I'm now seeing these results that
I'm seeing results from what I'm putting in. And if
you weren't, now you are, it's probably because you've got
your levels where they need to be. But then if
you throw in the weight loss supplements to where you're
(16:03):
trimming your appetite, I mean you could not only trim
some weight, but also turn some of that into muscle.
So that's a pretty efficient way to transform your body.
And again those are just a couple of the options
you have. Is mentioned erectylus function. There's a lot of
ways they can help you with that. They'll find whatever
way works best for you. And if it doesn't work,
you don't pay. That tells you that they stand by
(16:24):
what they can do for you. So again it's the
Louis of Men's Clinic. Go see them, tell them, I'll
send you a louble. Men's Clinic dot COM's the website.
The numbers FABO two four four four four thousand and
if you.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Get doctor Wood.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
They've got a few great doctors over there, but doctor
Wood is who I see and he's the best. So
if you see him, tell him I said hello, and
tell him I said thank you. All right, stick around,
we've got a gut check from Leland kmway coming your way.

that's that's how much it means to us around here.
So I'd take great pride that we do this differently
(08:02):
than anybody else. And I'm sure some people don't really
care and don't think it's something worth bragging about it.
I'm not even trying to brag, but like, I take
pride in the fact that, look, we are lunatics. For
this sport, and if you don't live here, you don't
get it. And I really do think collectively like the
reason that we like Louisville fan base is nowhere near
the size of Kentucky's fan base. We all know that,
(08:23):
but there's a lot of Louisville basketball fans. In fact,
Louisville's fan base would probably outnumber a lot, especially comparative schools,
you know, city schools, that kind of thing that's not
a state school and it's not coming from you know,
the Big ten of the SEC that has just such
a longer, a longer existence. So whenever both are good
(08:43):
or and it's good for college sports, there's no doubt
about it. When both are good and you've got people
consuming it, you know, because we'll be number one even
in down years as far as viewership. But whenever things
are rolling and you've got you know, the the fans
that you know typically probably wouldn't think about it, but hey,
they know, Hey, this is part of our culture and
(09:03):
things are going well, so I'm gonna I'm gonna jump back.
And that's that's what often say about you know, the
Young Center on a Tuesday night or whatever, or you know,
even even even len N Stadium for football, Like, if
you sell out your games, you gotta keep in mind
there's a good percentage of those fans that like are
there because it's the thing to do, not because they're
you know, eating and sleeping and breathing the sport. And
(09:26):
you need those people. And you know, we have so
many that love it and consume it at a high level.
But then there's also just the others that really again
they don't even identify, probably as big sports fans, but
they just know what this means around here because it's
part of our culture and I love it. All right,
stick around. Traffic and weather updates are on the way.
We'll see how how the roads are looking. I don't
know if there's been any range just yet, but it
(09:46):
is on the way and storms could be on the
way as well, so stick around. We'll get the details
from Suzanne Horrigan. All Right, here at news Radio eight

(10:08):
So the JCPS board they shut down a plan that
was going to shake up special education staffing. Obviously a
lot going on with JCPS as they're navigating a one
and eighty eight million dollar budget shortfall and changes have
already been made and they're proposing more changes to get
themselves out of this financial hole, and with some of
(10:28):
these proposed changes, they're getting pushedback. It sounds like it
was another tense board meeting last night for JCPS, as
members voted down a major reorganization of the district's exceptional
it's the Exceptional Child Education Division, so this is the
department that serves students with disabilities. And as a parent
(10:52):
of a disabled child, a special needs child, I just
get a weird level of anxiousness and anxiety thinking about
scenarios where they had to to to make cuts and
how it could maybe make life a little harder for
for my my child. Uh So, not at all a
surprise that they're going to push back and just make
(11:13):
sure that the plan, whatever it is they come up with,
maybe it's this one, maybe they make changes to it,
it still looks out for for special needs children, and
obviously anybody making any recommendations and as far as how
to navigate this financial hell that they're in. Nobody's doing
it without keeping all children in mind. But you just
simply have to make you have you have to make cuts,
(11:34):
you have to make changes and adjustments. And so again
I don't I don't. I don't say that what was
proposed last night was was disrespectful or out of line,
because one, I don't know enough about it. But also,
you know that would be unfair to think that they're
I mean that would but they may make that would
make no sense. But obviously you do clearly have to
to treat every situation different. And when it comes to
(11:56):
special needs and disabled children, you know there's things you
simply can't cut because of cost, because you just have
to you have to look out for So it was
a four to three vote that rejected Yearwood's revised plan.
It was to cut work days and reshuffle positions in
special education, and the members last night that spoke said
the proposal was rushed, confusing, and it risked undercutting services
(12:19):
for some of the most vulnerable students in the district.
That was a quote from somebody that spoke last night
on the board. So I would imagine this is going
to be sort of a rinse repeat situation. And what
I mean is there's going to be pushed back sometimes
just to push back to make sure it's not rushed,
and they're really evaluating it fully to make sure that
while trimming and cutting because they have to, they're doing
(12:42):
it in the most efficient way possible that will cause
the least amount of impact for students. But really just
a tough situation all the way around, because there's no
easy way to do this at all, and I want
people to keep that in mind. I mean, maybe we'll
get to year down the line and we'll look back
and say that doctor Brian Yearwood didn't do a good job,
(13:04):
and he wasn't a good superintendent. I just think right now,
it's almost impossible to know that, and it's easy to
just know of the situation and then think of the
head of the snake, if you will, right, the guy
that's in charge, and that's him. But he had literally
nothing to do with the current situation they're in. He's
just here to have to clean it up. And I
(13:25):
know he's making a lot of money, but what a
thankless job. I mean, I cannot imagine that being a
fun job. I would imagine, like a lot of people
who do get into the world of education, you are fulfilled,
probably for a variety of reasons, but one of those
reasons being that you know what you do is very
important and with it comes tough decisions. But you take
(13:47):
it as a badge of honor to be given that
responsibility when it's something that's so important. So I mean,
I would imagine that's the case, or I don't really
know why you do it. Again, you can make a
good living in positions like he has, but I'll tell you,
I don't think i'd be built for it. I don't
think I would do well knowing that no matter what,
it's just going to be a constant wave of negativity
(14:11):
and people telling me that I did something wrong. So
I guess more than anything, you just have to accept it.
You have to just know that. Look, no matter what,
there's going to be people to do it, so block
it out. But yeah, again, I'm not built to do that.
I don't think I'll never know, but don't think I
do well. All right, let me talk to you guys
about my friends at the Louisville Men's Clinic. The louill
Men's Clinic has been around for a long long time.
Over ten years now, they've been helping hundreds of men
(14:34):
in the Kentucky and area. And they do it a
little bit differently than some of their so called competitors.
And what I mean by that is, you know, there's
not a lot of flashy, you know, gimmicky kind of
stuff like their results, their professionalism, their consistency. That's what
makes them the leader in what it is that they
(14:55):
do and what it is that they do. It's a
lot of things they help when it comes to getting
your testosterone levels where they need to be for your
age range, which that alone can can substantially change your
quality of life. I know that firsthand. That's how they
help me. They can also help you when it comes
to losing weight. Right, there's a lot of different options
out there when it comes to weight loss, and they've
(15:17):
got weight management therapy programs. They can get you on
the right supplements, the right medication and get you on
the right track to really trimming some weight. I know
there's some folks that have taken that approach when it
comes to the men's clinic, not just for ED or
the testosterone, but to lose weight. And if you are
somebody that really wants to kind of just re reshape
(15:42):
yourself a little bit, right, Like the benefit of the
testosterone supplement to get you on track is to where
you will start getting more out of your workouts. You
will start noticing, hey, I'm now seeing these results that
I'm seeing results from what I'm putting in. And if
you weren't, now you are, it's probably because you've got
your levels where they need to be. But then if
you throw in the weight loss supplements to where you're
(16:03):
trimming your appetite, I mean you could not only trim
some weight, but also turn some of that into muscle.
So that's a pretty efficient way to transform your body.
And again those are just a couple of the options
you have. Is mentioned erectylus function. There's a lot of
ways they can help you with that. They'll find whatever
way works best for you. And if it doesn't work,
you don't pay. That tells you that they stand by
(16:24):
what they can do for you. So again it's the
Louis of Men's Clinic. Go see them, tell them, I'll
send you a louble. Men's Clinic dot COM's the website.
The numbers FABO two four four four four thousand and
if you.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Get doctor Wood.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
They've got a few great doctors over there, but doctor
Wood is who I see and he's the best. So
if you see him, tell him I said hello, and
tell him I said thank you. All right, stick around,
we've got a gut check from Leland kmway coming your way.
