Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome in good Monday morning
to you. It is Coffee and Company and we are
fueled by Thornton's here on this Monday morning, five oh
five as we get this thing started at news radio
eight forty w h A S. And I've got the
full crew assembled once again, Scott Fitzgerald alongside the company
man John aldenand we have John Shannon.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Back with us.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
He is fresh off the cruise and we're ready to
take you for the next four hours. So sit back,
make yourself at home. Just know you could take us
with you wherever you go. Listen live on the iHeartRadio app.
Also listen live at w h a s dot com.
I'll go ahead admit it. I'm feeling that we did
have a shorter weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Guys. It was short. I mean we set set the clocks.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I mean that's what's what happened, right, Like we lost time, right, Okay,
I'm not crazy because I didn't even realize it.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
My wife she set the clocks like in the kitchen,
the ones that don't automatically reset. She took care of
that before we called it a day Saturday, So I
didn't even I didn't have that moment of like, wait
a second, right, And then this morning I woke up
and I said, now something's not right here. Yeah, and
it's because, in fact, you know, it was a shorter weekend.
But yeah, it's here. It's gonna be daylight longer now
(01:05):
than it has been for quite some time. And I
got to say, I think that might be the biggest
adjustment for me. Both you guys warned me that that
would be like a noticeable thing that it stays lighter later,
which is great for everybody, Yeah, but us kind of.
I mean, I don't know if it affects you guys,
but my kids are gonna want to be outside, especially
when the weather's nice. And I mean it's like eight
o'clock eight fifteen, and I'm like, come on, we got
to get you guys ready for bed, and they don't
(01:27):
want to cooperate.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
That was the hardest thing for me to get used to, too,
because going to bed so early, my wife would go
upstairs and she try to get ready for bed so
I could go wait and go to bed using our bathroom.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Takes a team effort. They got to help out, and
then they forget.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
That you have to get up so early, so because
it's later out, Like my wife will take her walks
late at not or later at night now and we'll
get back until later. So then I gotta wait till
she's done cleaning up, unless I'm really tired and I
just go to bed. But yeah, it's a whole different
mindset when you work a shift like this.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
And I say all that and realize we've got a
teammate here that really his sleep has been dictated by
a young human being that is still very spreshly with us,
and that is Daisy Alden, who's John's daughter. I mean,
when I talk about like my sleep schedule, I bet
there's sometimes you're like this, mother. He doesn't have a
clue that I slept. I slept for an hour last night.
Changed honicly.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
The the overnight sleeping has been pretty great since the
turn of the new year days. He's been sleeping through
the night for a few months now, and that's been
a really good thing for both me and the wife.
She's a school teacher, and so uh, that part hasn't
really been terrible. Really, it's just it's whenever things go
awry during the day and there's just a lot going on,
and there's no time to maybe get an hour, hour
(02:36):
and a half nap, that sort of thing that's usually
whenever it's tough the next morning for me, do you nap?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Scott, I do I power nap because you leave, you leave.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Here and you go work another job, and you know
you you seemingly have more energy than any of us
every single morning. Uh and and yet you know you
don't get to just if you need to go ahead
and take a couple hour nap.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
No, I just I power nap. I learned it in
the military.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
And when you're out floating in the middle of the
golf and you got nothing to do, you know, you
just you just work. So I got buy on five
about five and a half hours sleep, and so it
just kind of.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Well, you're kind of just well, you're a testament to
you know that that, I mean, you're you're probably healthier
now than you have been for a good chunk of
your adult life, is safe to say. Sure, So you're
you're a good example for me that hopes to do
this a very long time that running on five hours
of sleep, not you know, daily, you can still you
can still you know, you can still get by.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
You can't. You'll adjust, You'll adjust.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
But it is funny listening to you all talk about that,
because that is the thing. No, everybody's like, oh, it's
great time. Jay is gonna be lighter later. And then
we were talking about last night. You guys do know
you have to get up earlier. You're actually until your
body adjusts, mind you. And I was trying to tell
my family.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
What's gonna feel early.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
That game plan might have been nice if you'd have
given it to us before, you know, this past weekend.
Would appreciated it then. But so I asked if if
you guys have noticed the difference thus far. We're still
early in this new this new schedule with the clocks
moving over the weekend, but have you noticed a jumping
gas prices at the pump? Have you filled up lightly
and felt like, okay, I just got bent over? Yes,
(04:03):
I mean gas is today. I felt I didn't get
gassed this morning, but I did stop in at Thornton's,
which you should too. By the way, They've got the
four Monster energy drinks for eight bucks. If you want
to take advantage of it, and if you're needing energy
more than you usually do because of the time change,
but I didn't get gas, but I just looked at
the pump and saw the prices and it jumped out, like, Wow,
(04:24):
they weren't lying.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Gas prices are going to go up.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah, it's clear anytime you get something like this, the
activity that we had in the golf, I've seen this
before and.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
It goes up.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Eventually it will start to come back down, but it's
it's probably gonna be a while.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
You're right, and we were talked about before.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
It's the folks that work in the fleet business that
have to pass that onto their customers too. They're going
to hit a big cust because they're obviously buying gas
more than we are and just filling our tank.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
So it's it's gonna be rough for a lot of folks.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Here.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
We'll get some more information sort of on on that,
as well as the job market, which, as you know,
I'm sure Friday it was a big talking point on
the station once we wrapped up, and that was just
the job market a real set back in the month
of February, which was kind of surprising. After January was
in a good place. So we'll talk to Jill Slussing
or Schill join us coming up here. In the seven
o'clock hour and then obviously we'll keep you updated on
(05:10):
what you need to know when it comes to the
situation in Iran. Obviously gas price is going up. That's
certainly a factor of what's going on over there. But
there's a new supreme leader, the sun of the slain
previous leader is I mean, I think hearing some of
the quotes is I've not really been super plugged into
(05:31):
it over the weekend. You know, I didn't really want
to focus on a war. I wanted to enjoy my
life and you know, spend time with my family whenever
you it's what you want to do when you get
to a weekend. But like, I don't get the sense
that like there's any sign of anything slowing down at all.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Which maybe that was to be expected.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Right, we're what eight days in in this war that
technically Congress hasn't officially said it's a war, but we
clearly know that it's a war. And I just don't
get any sign that things are getting better. But maybe
that wasn't part of any plan, because again four to
five weeks was the initial the initial timeline that was given.
But here is here's an update from this is from
Kristin Walker with NBC News.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yeah, I don't nobody to interfere in our domestic at first.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
This is up to the Iranian people to alleged their
new leader.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
That was from Kristen Welker NBC News, obviously not her speaking.
And here is President Trump. This audio is is not great,
but eleven seconds here as far as him on the
new Supreme leader of Iran, could.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
There be possible for very good reason, have to be
very good reason.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And I would say if we ever did that, they
would be so decimated that they would be able to
fight at the ground level. So that was Trump telling
reporters as he is, he a border air force one
of obviously that's where you get that background sound there,
But he would not rule out deploying US ground troops
into Iran. So I'm sure this to an extent is
probably all part of the process when you're, you know,
(06:55):
in a situation like this. But I will say, for me,
somebody who's you know, not to consume every every single
bit of whatever that's coming, because honestly, there's now things
that I'm not sure what to believe, right like who
actually who's responsible for bombing the school? That ended up
with a bunch of kids dead. You know, you can
quite literally find whatever answer you want and and just
leave it at that. So but again, is someone not
(07:17):
trying to just get consumed by it? When I do
check in here and there, it's it's a scary situation,
but hey, probably what we should have expected when you're
at war, I think so.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
And when you're dealing with someone like Iran, which is
clearly sort of the last bastion of the Middle East
that we knew was it was a rough spot. And
as you come into it, and I like you the
way you put that nking that is, you know, we're
not calling it a war, but.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Let's be honest, it is.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
It is war.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
And I'm really I like you, I paid it. When
I hear they're going to put ground troops in Iran,
I'm a little concerned. And I'm that'll hype.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
The awareness of what's going on. Yeah, I think that's
a game changer.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
And then it came out also over the weekend that
Russia was sort of giving Iran some intel on you know,
where our ships were, how our ships operate. You know,
Russia is still they're not the same Rushia they were
but they're intel still pretty good.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
And if they're passing that on to I run this thing.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
If we don't get this under control, has a way
to get real crazy, real fast.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Well, and then I hear Trump say that, you know,
there's no sign of us I'm paraphrasing here. We'll get
the sound, but there's no sound. There's no sign of
us stopping. And essentially it's going to come down to
them completely surrendering.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, well, we have no.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Control over them deciding to surrender. So that leaves I
think that door wide open as far as how long
does this actually last? Does this turn into another situation
like twenty years ago with Afghanistan? And that was the
first question I think one of the first questions a
lot of folks had right out of the gate, is Okay,
what's our objective here and what are we truly trying
(08:41):
to accomplish to where we can say, Okay, this is over,
job is done. We accomplish what we said to accomplish.
That still remains to I think be a huge question.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Mark.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
You're right, and that's a great observation because the problem
with making those assumptions and saying we'rey to do this,
this is our objective? You obviously want an objective, But
these things start growing their own tentacles as you go along,
and problem A leads to problem B, Problem B leads
to problem see, and you start going down roads you
didn't think you were going to go down. And I
think that's a lot of what happened in Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So you're right.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I mean, we're early on in the stages. You know,
we're gonna people are gonna start demanding answers as this
drags on longer, longer, to your point mentioning, gas prices
will be up as this goes on and continues, and
then if we start losing more lives, that's when the
Americans are really going to start asking, Okay, what's going
on here?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And you see Trump has said, I think multiple times
now that those gas prices are going to go down
dramatically once this thing comes to an end.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
But when's that and when is that? That's right?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
And that's what we saw in the Israeli the latest
Israeli war that you know, we thought, okay, this is
going to go on, this is going to stop this,
but then that continued on and on and on, and
there are folks that get paid a lot more money
than I do to break it down, but on the
surface you're making some great observations and asking the right questions.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Well, it's again, I'll admit it. Maybe I shouldn't. This
is not something that I find like enjoyable to discuss,
but obviously it's really import so we'll try to balance it.
Life's a balancing act, right, We'll keep you updated and
not in any way sort of minimize the seriousness of
what it is. But I also enjoy you know, I
still want to enjoy life, and.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
You have to disconnect for a while.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, and we'll try to balance it here this morning
and as long as it lasts, So stick around a busy,
busy morning. I know Scott's got a lot When it
comes to sports man, March madness is in full effect.
We've got the conference tournaments getting started for the for
the major conferences, and what a what a finish to
the regular season for the powers out there. I mean,
if there's ever been a season where the college basketball gods,
we're letting everybody know the tournament does not need to
(10:34):
be expanded. Every team seemingly on the bubble lost this
weekend so I guess that keeps everybody alive.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
But anyways, stick around.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
A lot more to get to, including traffic and weather
updates right here, right now at news Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Good Monday morning.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
It is news Radio eight forty whas Coffee and company
with you, and we are fueled by Thornton's. Make sure
you keep Thorntons in mind for breakfast this morning. They've
got a lot of options donuts to choose from breakfast, sandwiches, biscuits,
and gravy, and has mentioned they've got a good deal
going on for Monster Energy drinks. I'm somebody that usually
starts my morning with one, and now you can get
four of them for eight bucks, which, hey, that's a
(11:11):
pretty good deal when you look at the prices elsewhere.
So again, we are fueled by Thornton's. You should be too.
They've got what you need to stay fueled for the
day ahead. So today ahead, we've got another warm one.
Right now, we're looking at forty four degrees little chili,
but hey, not not terrible when you consider the fact
that we've had a brutal winter and forty four not
so bad. But today we're gonna get up to seventy four,
(11:32):
So seventy four mixed in with some sunshine and some clouds.
Not sure it gets much better than that. And outside
of Saturday's rain, John, we're on a heater, aren't we.
I mean we've been God and I don't mean just
you know, warmer weather, but like we're on. We got
some good momentum here with weather. I'll take it.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Yeah, it feels like early spring, and I don't think
that's what the groundhoul could predicted back in the bag,
you wet rat.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
It proves how how none? Why can't?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Why's my voice doing this?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Probably because this weather we're speaking ough, To be honest
with you, it.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Shows on nonsense. All that stuff was back on February second.
There we go, sounding much better now.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, hey, but you're probably having a little congestion there,
just like I've had watery eyes lately because of this
weather change.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
But hey, I'll live with it.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
That means the Kentucky allergies are back, which is probably
one of the worst things about getting into this time
of year.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Unfortunately, the more I talk to folks. I in fact,
I was talking to one of my friends on Friday.
He's like me, been here his whole life. And yet somehow,
at some point it started to affect the you know,
the allergies. I mean, I couldn't relate. I really didn't
even know what people were talking about when they would say, oh, man,
the allergies are really killing me with calling and this
and that, and I just I never even thought about
(12:38):
it or knew what they were really referencing until recently.
You know, I'm like, what's going on here? Oh, this
is what allergies are, and it's not it's not fun,
but yeah, they make pills for that and they seem
to work. So I'm gonna have to start taking my
daily allergy pill and enjoy this nice spring weather that
we're getting here in early March. All right, So the
latest with the Iran situation. This is probably not a
(12:58):
big surprise, and it's something that Trump has maintained for
a while. He wants to have some control and who
is leading the country. And here is an update from
our partners over there at WLKY. They have Rachel Hersheimer,
who is a White House correspondent.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
With the latest Iran naming a new Supreme leader certainly
injects more uncertainty into what will happen next. And how
long this war will continue. Moch Tabahamanei, Iran's next leader,
who is the son of the Ayah Toola killed, is
believed to hold views even more extreme than his late father.
He'll be in charge of Iran's armed forces and decisions
(13:33):
regarding Tehran's nuclear program.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Now.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Over the weekend, the US military did not give an
update on the number of missiles and drones Iran has
fired in recent days. I'm for saying the rate had
gone down, but experts say it is possible Iran is
holding back some missiles in reserve. At this point, there
is no end in sight to the war. Over the weekend,
President Trump called for an unconditional surrender by Iran, but
(13:56):
neither side is showing signs of backing down anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
We're winning the war by a lot. We've testimated their
whole evil empire.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
It'll continue.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I'm here a friend for a while.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
On Sunday, US Central Command announced the death of an
additional US service member who was injured last week in
an Iranian attack in Saudi Arabia, bringing the number of
Americans killed to seven. In Washington, Mitchel Hersheimer to be
o Ky News.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So we're winning the war by a lot, he says.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'll take his word for it, and I'm sure that
was the expectation probably from everybody involved, not only that
he would say that, but there would be signs that
that is the case. But I think is maybe it's unrealistic.
Maybe I'm being too picky, or maybe I'm just showing
my rear end here as far as just not understanding
that there's specific timelines, but people just want to know
(14:51):
wins is going to end.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
But I think.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Is that as a common I guess question as far
as how long it takes to accomplish the overall goal here?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Also what is the goal here?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Again, it's to completely eliminate the threat that has been
out there for so long. But I just how can
you how can you on this in meaning the United
States in their objective right now? How can you control
when it's officially over? I mean, I don't.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
It's out of your control. So only time will tell.
But Trump is going to be in Kentucky. I know
you heard a little bit of that, but a little
bit about that during the news update there from John Shannon,
we'll talk a little more about his previous trips as
he's made plenty before he became the politician, and of
course since he's been in office. We'll get we'll give
you a little rundown of his previous trips, so stick
around for that. Roy o'nial is going to join us,
(15:40):
coming up on the other side. It's all right here,
but first let's get you caught up on traffic. Bobby
Ellis has an update on the roadways this morning, and
news Radio eight forty whas. Good Monday morning, Kentucky, Ina.
Thanks for hanging out with us here. News Radio eight
forty whas it is Coffee and Company, Nick, Coffee, that's
me and I have Rory O'Neill who is joining us here. Rory, well,
that gas prices have gone up when it comes to
(16:03):
the situation in the Middle East, but now it sounds
like airline tickets could also be on the rise. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Nick. In fact, in just the past few days, we've
seen the price of jet fuel go up about fifty
four percent now about three dollars eighty eight cents a
gallon was too fifty a gallon just last month. So
that's a pretty strong spike and that is really one
of the biggest costs for airline, So expect them to
start raising fares or creating those fuel surve charges that
(16:30):
we saw a few years back in order to make
up for this difference, because look, it's significant, and we're
already starting to see some long haul flights in particular
increase the fares to make up for it.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
So we've heard from Trump when it comes to the
gas prices and how he's acknowledged everybody's I mean everybody's ware.
It'd be hard to not acknowledge that prices have gone
up dramatically in this short amount of time, and that
he's confident that they're going to go down dramatically once
this ends. But the end, that still remains to be
the biggest question.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Well, right, and how do you define that because that
is sort of different.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Is it just an end of.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Hostilities, because the real issue is oil is not moving
through the strait of poor moves. Why, Well, the insurance
companies won't ensure the ships or their cargo. They're concerned
that Iran could, especially launch drones to hit some of
these cargo ships and tankers. So the ships are all stopped.
And that's about twenty percent of the world's energy goes
through the Strait, and that's why we're seeing these big increases.
(17:27):
We've got news that countries like Kuwait are going to
cut back their oil production because nothing's moving, so you've
got no place to store it, right, So they're going
to start rolling back production as a result.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
And look nationally, we've.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Seen gas prices go up about fifty one cents in
the past week. In Kentucky, prices are up fifty point
three cents according to gas Buddy, hovering around three thirteen
a gallon right now.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Forriol Nils our guest joining us here at News Radio
eight forty whas So it sounds as if there's a
developmental crisis among young men. There's one college for Or
that is saying that it is concerning when it comes
to men's younger men's ability to focus maturity, even masculinity.
Where is this coming from? And I guess what are
the alarming signs that has led to this being a
(18:12):
conversation about this crisis among young men.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Yeah, the president at Colorado Christian University, Eric Hoag, wrote
this op ed it's on the Fox News website that
looks at young men. Boys are in crisis right now.
They don't have enough good role models. He talks about
this idea of trying to counter toxic masculinity. He says,
don't go after masculinity, go after the toxic part of it,
(18:37):
and he recommends what he calls noble masculinity instead, where
a young man can show strength, under control or courage
while in service of others. He says, yeah, the phone.
Don't just blame the phones. He says, they're a symptom
of a larger problem that boys and young men these
days don't really have the structure they need to thrive.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
So I understand the You don't want to blame it
just all on the phones, But I think the phones
in every bit of society has has Like a lot
of things we do have changed and you may not
think of it, but one of the reasons why we've
changed is because of how we've changed because of these
devices that are in front of our face at all times.
I'm one of those people myself, So I get it.
You don't just want to blame it on that, but
(19:20):
the other factors that have kind of fallen off. I mean,
I wouldn't be shocked if we look back many many
years and realize, yeah, that's when everything changed. For us,
it was all because we're just you know, we've become robots.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
His idea is sort of a chicken or the egg, right,
which came first, and his point being that you know,
one of the things the phone also does, and then
you can point to is you know, we don't have
regular TV anymore and everything else is that everything is
instant gratification. There is no necessarily there is no reward
for sticking it out or you know the facts that
you have to go to work five days a week,
(19:51):
eight hours a day, and that regular routine, that applying
yourself and focusing on things longer term. I mean, it's
not just the phone. Everything in our society now goes
faster and faster and faster, and that apparently isn't healthy
for these young men. It makes them sort of steer
away from focusing in and making a long term commitment
(20:12):
to be successful.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I think the instant gratification thing that certainly stands out.
And I again not to tie it back once again
to maybe not just the phone, but just in society
we now have like you didn't you let's go back
in time.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
You didn't.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You didn't know what you didn't know, right, you weren't
seeing at all times things that you were not able
to do that celebrities can do that the Jones is
down the street can do because they're posting it all
over the internet, all over social media. I think you
didn't know what you didn't know. You didn't know what
you were missing out on. You could sort of just
be content and grind things out, work through it. And
now you want that instant gratification and I don't see
(20:44):
that changing anytime soon.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Well, right, and you also seek the approval of others
that you have the new phone that you post online
and share about.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Right.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
It's that need for approval all the time. But it's
also this idea of you you never have to wait
for a TV show. You know, if you want to
watch The Grinch, it only came on once a year.
You had to watch it at eight o'clock. Everything was
just on demand. Even when you look at movies, look
how fast edits are. You get a screen shot for
three seconds and the director goes to a new shot.
You know, you watch Costa Blanca and it's the same
(21:15):
one camera shot for like twenty two seconds. And I
mean movies are made differently. It's all very different and
much much faster. That may not be good for young
men's minds.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
No doubt about it. Rory's always appreciate your time, Enjoy
your day. We'll talk tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Thanks Nick.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
That is Rory O'Neil, NBC News. Let's get a check
on traffic and weather. Also in another sports update, is
on the other side. It's all right here the news
radio eight forty whas
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome in good Monday morning
to you. It is Coffee and Company and we are
fueled by Thornton's here on this Monday morning, five oh
five as we get this thing started at news radio
eight forty w h A S. And I've got the
full crew assembled once again, Scott Fitzgerald alongside the company
man John aldenand we have John Shannon.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Back with us.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
He is fresh off the cruise and we're ready to
take you for the next four hours. So sit back,
make yourself at home. Just know you could take us
with you wherever you go. Listen live on the iHeartRadio app.
Also listen live at w h a s dot com.
I'll go ahead admit it. I'm feeling that we did
have a shorter weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Guys. It was short. I mean we set set the clocks.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I mean that's what's what happened, right, Like we lost time, right, Okay,
I'm not crazy because I didn't even realize it.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
My wife she set the clocks like in the kitchen,
the ones that don't automatically reset. She took care of
that before we called it a day Saturday, So I
didn't even I didn't have that moment of like, wait
a second, right, And then this morning I woke up
and I said, now something's not right here. Yeah, and
it's because, in fact, you know, it was a shorter weekend.
But yeah, it's here. It's gonna be daylight longer now
(01:05):
than it has been for quite some time. And I
got to say, I think that might be the biggest
adjustment for me. Both you guys warned me that that
would be like a noticeable thing that it stays lighter later,
which is great for everybody, Yeah, but us kind of.
I mean, I don't know if it affects you guys,
but my kids are gonna want to be outside, especially
when the weather's nice. And I mean it's like eight
o'clock eight fifteen, and I'm like, come on, we got
to get you guys ready for bed, and they don't
(01:27):
want to cooperate.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
That was the hardest thing for me to get used to, too,
because going to bed so early, my wife would go
upstairs and she try to get ready for bed so
I could go wait and go to bed using our bathroom.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Takes a team effort. They got to help out, and
then they forget.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
That you have to get up so early, so because
it's later out, Like my wife will take her walks
late at not or later at night now and we'll
get back until later. So then I gotta wait till
she's done cleaning up, unless I'm really tired and I
just go to bed. But yeah, it's a whole different
mindset when you work a shift like this.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
And I say all that and realize we've got a
teammate here that really his sleep has been dictated by
a young human being that is still very spreshly with us,
and that is Daisy Alden, who's John's daughter. I mean,
when I talk about like my sleep schedule, I bet
there's sometimes you're like this, mother. He doesn't have a
clue that I slept. I slept for an hour last night.
Changed honicly.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
The the overnight sleeping has been pretty great since the
turn of the new year days. He's been sleeping through
the night for a few months now, and that's been
a really good thing for both me and the wife.
She's a school teacher, and so uh, that part hasn't
really been terrible. Really, it's just it's whenever things go
awry during the day and there's just a lot going on,
and there's no time to maybe get an hour, hour
(02:36):
and a half nap, that sort of thing that's usually
whenever it's tough the next morning for me, do you nap?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Scott, I do I power nap because you leave, you leave.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Here and you go work another job, and you know
you you seemingly have more energy than any of us
every single morning. Uh and and yet you know you
don't get to just if you need to go ahead
and take a couple hour nap.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
No, I just I power nap. I learned it in
the military.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
And when you're out floating in the middle of the
golf and you got nothing to do, you know, you
just you just work. So I got buy on five
about five and a half hours sleep, and so it
just kind of.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Well, you're kind of just well, you're a testament to
you know that that, I mean, you're you're probably healthier
now than you have been for a good chunk of
your adult life, is safe to say. Sure, So you're
you're a good example for me that hopes to do
this a very long time that running on five hours
of sleep, not you know, daily, you can still you
can still you know, you can still get by.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
You can't. You'll adjust, You'll adjust.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
But it is funny listening to you all talk about that,
because that is the thing. No, everybody's like, oh, it's
great time. Jay is gonna be lighter later. And then
we were talking about last night. You guys do know
you have to get up earlier. You're actually until your
body adjusts, mind you. And I was trying to tell
my family.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
What's gonna feel early.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
That game plan might have been nice if you'd have
given it to us before, you know, this past weekend.
Would appreciated it then. But so I asked if if
you guys have noticed the difference thus far. We're still
early in this new this new schedule with the clocks
moving over the weekend, but have you noticed a jumping
gas prices at the pump? Have you filled up lightly
and felt like, okay, I just got bent over? Yes,
(04:03):
I mean gas is today. I felt I didn't get
gassed this morning, but I did stop in at Thornton's,
which you should too. By the way, They've got the
four Monster energy drinks for eight bucks. If you want
to take advantage of it, and if you're needing energy
more than you usually do because of the time change,
but I didn't get gas, but I just looked at
the pump and saw the prices and it jumped out, like, Wow,
(04:24):
they weren't lying.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Gas prices are going to go up.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah, it's clear anytime you get something like this, the
activity that we had in the golf, I've seen this
before and.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
It goes up.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Eventually it will start to come back down, but it's
it's probably gonna be a while.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
You're right, and we were talked about before.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
It's the folks that work in the fleet business that
have to pass that onto their customers too. They're going
to hit a big cust because they're obviously buying gas
more than we are and just filling our tank.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
So it's it's gonna be rough for a lot of folks.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Here.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
We'll get some more information sort of on on that,
as well as the job market, which, as you know,
I'm sure Friday it was a big talking point on
the station once we wrapped up, and that was just
the job market a real set back in the month
of February, which was kind of surprising. After January was
in a good place. So we'll talk to Jill Slussing
or Schill join us coming up here. In the seven
o'clock hour and then obviously we'll keep you updated on
(05:10):
what you need to know when it comes to the
situation in Iran. Obviously gas price is going up. That's
certainly a factor of what's going on over there. But
there's a new supreme leader, the sun of the slain
previous leader is I mean, I think hearing some of
the quotes is I've not really been super plugged into
(05:31):
it over the weekend. You know, I didn't really want
to focus on a war. I wanted to enjoy my
life and you know, spend time with my family whenever
you it's what you want to do when you get
to a weekend. But like, I don't get the sense
that like there's any sign of anything slowing down at all.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Which maybe that was to be expected.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Right, we're what eight days in in this war that
technically Congress hasn't officially said it's a war, but we
clearly know that it's a war. And I just don't
get any sign that things are getting better. But maybe
that wasn't part of any plan, because again four to
five weeks was the initial the initial timeline that was given.
But here is here's an update from this is from
Kristin Walker with NBC News.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yeah, I don't nobody to interfere in our domestic at first.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
This is up to the Iranian people to alleged their
new leader.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
That was from Kristen Welker NBC News, obviously not her speaking.
And here is President Trump. This audio is is not great,
but eleven seconds here as far as him on the
new Supreme leader of Iran, could.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
There be possible for very good reason, have to be
very good reason.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And I would say if we ever did that, they
would be so decimated that they would be able to
fight at the ground level. So that was Trump telling
reporters as he is, he a border air force one
of obviously that's where you get that background sound there,
But he would not rule out deploying US ground troops
into Iran. So I'm sure this to an extent is
probably all part of the process when you're, you know,
(06:55):
in a situation like this. But I will say, for me,
somebody who's you know, not to consume every every single
bit of whatever that's coming, because honestly, there's now things
that I'm not sure what to believe, right like who
actually who's responsible for bombing the school? That ended up
with a bunch of kids dead. You know, you can
quite literally find whatever answer you want and and just
leave it at that. So but again, is someone not
(07:17):
trying to just get consumed by it? When I do
check in here and there, it's it's a scary situation,
but hey, probably what we should have expected when you're
at war, I think so.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
And when you're dealing with someone like Iran, which is
clearly sort of the last bastion of the Middle East
that we knew was it was a rough spot. And
as you come into it, and I like you the
way you put that nking that is, you know, we're
not calling it a war, but.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Let's be honest, it is.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
It is war.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
And I'm really I like you, I paid it. When
I hear they're going to put ground troops in Iran,
I'm a little concerned. And I'm that'll hype.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
The awareness of what's going on. Yeah, I think that's
a game changer.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
And then it came out also over the weekend that
Russia was sort of giving Iran some intel on you know,
where our ships were, how our ships operate. You know,
Russia is still they're not the same Rushia they were
but they're intel still pretty good.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
And if they're passing that on to I run this thing.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
If we don't get this under control, has a way
to get real crazy, real fast.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Well, and then I hear Trump say that, you know,
there's no sign of us I'm paraphrasing here. We'll get
the sound, but there's no sound. There's no sign of
us stopping. And essentially it's going to come down to
them completely surrendering.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, well, we have no.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Control over them deciding to surrender. So that leaves I
think that door wide open as far as how long
does this actually last? Does this turn into another situation
like twenty years ago with Afghanistan? And that was the
first question I think one of the first questions a
lot of folks had right out of the gate, is Okay,
what's our objective here and what are we truly trying
(08:41):
to accomplish to where we can say, Okay, this is over,
job is done. We accomplish what we said to accomplish.
That still remains to I think be a huge question.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Mark.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
You're right, and that's a great observation because the problem
with making those assumptions and saying we'rey to do this,
this is our objective? You obviously want an objective, But
these things start growing their own tentacles as you go along,
and problem A leads to problem B, Problem B leads
to problem see, and you start going down roads you
didn't think you were going to go down. And I
think that's a lot of what happened in Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So you're right.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I mean, we're early on in the stages. You know,
we're gonna people are gonna start demanding answers as this
drags on longer, longer, to your point mentioning, gas prices
will be up as this goes on and continues, and
then if we start losing more lives, that's when the
Americans are really going to start asking, Okay, what's going
on here?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And you see Trump has said, I think multiple times
now that those gas prices are going to go down
dramatically once this thing comes to an end.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
But when's that and when is that? That's right?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
And that's what we saw in the Israeli the latest
Israeli war that you know, we thought, okay, this is
going to go on, this is going to stop this,
but then that continued on and on and on, and
there are folks that get paid a lot more money
than I do to break it down, but on the
surface you're making some great observations and asking the right questions.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Well, it's again, I'll admit it. Maybe I shouldn't. This
is not something that I find like enjoyable to discuss,
but obviously it's really import so we'll try to balance it.
Life's a balancing act, right, We'll keep you updated and
not in any way sort of minimize the seriousness of
what it is. But I also enjoy you know, I
still want to enjoy life, and.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
You have to disconnect for a while.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, and we'll try to balance it here this morning
and as long as it lasts, So stick around a busy,
busy morning. I know Scott's got a lot When it
comes to sports man, March madness is in full effect.
We've got the conference tournaments getting started for the for
the major conferences, and what a what a finish to
the regular season for the powers out there. I mean,
if there's ever been a season where the college basketball gods,
we're letting everybody know the tournament does not need to
(10:34):
be expanded. Every team seemingly on the bubble lost this
weekend so I guess that keeps everybody alive.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
But anyways, stick around.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
A lot more to get to, including traffic and weather
updates right here, right now at news Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Good Monday morning.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
It is news Radio eight forty whas Coffee and company
with you, and we are fueled by Thornton's. Make sure
you keep Thorntons in mind for breakfast this morning. They've
got a lot of options donuts to choose from breakfast, sandwiches, biscuits,
and gravy, and has mentioned they've got a good deal
going on for Monster Energy drinks. I'm somebody that usually
starts my morning with one, and now you can get
four of them for eight bucks, which, hey, that's a
(11:11):
pretty good deal when you look at the prices elsewhere.
So again, we are fueled by Thornton's. You should be too.
They've got what you need to stay fueled for the
day ahead. So today ahead, we've got another warm one.
Right now, we're looking at forty four degrees little chili,
but hey, not not terrible when you consider the fact
that we've had a brutal winter and forty four not
so bad. But today we're gonna get up to seventy four,
(11:32):
So seventy four mixed in with some sunshine and some clouds.
Not sure it gets much better than that. And outside
of Saturday's rain, John, we're on a heater, aren't we.
I mean we've been God and I don't mean just
you know, warmer weather, but like we're on. We got
some good momentum here with weather. I'll take it.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Yeah, it feels like early spring, and I don't think
that's what the groundhoul could predicted back in the bag,
you wet rat.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
It proves how how none? Why can't?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Why's my voice doing this?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Probably because this weather we're speaking ough, To be honest
with you, it.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Shows on nonsense. All that stuff was back on February second.
There we go, sounding much better now.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, hey, but you're probably having a little congestion there,
just like I've had watery eyes lately because of this
weather change.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
But hey, I'll live with it.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
That means the Kentucky allergies are back, which is probably
one of the worst things about getting into this time
of year.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Unfortunately, the more I talk to folks. I in fact,
I was talking to one of my friends on Friday.
He's like me, been here his whole life. And yet somehow,
at some point it started to affect the you know,
the allergies. I mean, I couldn't relate. I really didn't
even know what people were talking about when they would say, oh, man,
the allergies are really killing me with calling and this
and that, and I just I never even thought about
(12:38):
it or knew what they were really referencing until recently.
You know, I'm like, what's going on here? Oh, this
is what allergies are, and it's not it's not fun,
but yeah, they make pills for that and they seem
to work. So I'm gonna have to start taking my
daily allergy pill and enjoy this nice spring weather that
we're getting here in early March. All right, So the
latest with the Iran situation. This is probably not a
(12:58):
big surprise, and it's something that Trump has maintained for
a while. He wants to have some control and who
is leading the country. And here is an update from
our partners over there at WLKY. They have Rachel Hersheimer,
who is a White House correspondent.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
With the latest Iran naming a new Supreme leader certainly
injects more uncertainty into what will happen next. And how
long this war will continue. Moch Tabahamanei, Iran's next leader,
who is the son of the Ayah Toola killed, is
believed to hold views even more extreme than his late father.
He'll be in charge of Iran's armed forces and decisions
(13:33):
regarding Tehran's nuclear program.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Now.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Over the weekend, the US military did not give an
update on the number of missiles and drones Iran has
fired in recent days. I'm for saying the rate had
gone down, but experts say it is possible Iran is
holding back some missiles in reserve. At this point, there
is no end in sight to the war. Over the weekend,
President Trump called for an unconditional surrender by Iran, but
(13:56):
neither side is showing signs of backing down anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
We're winning the war by a lot. We've testimated their
whole evil empire.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
It'll continue.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I'm here a friend for a while.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
On Sunday, US Central Command announced the death of an
additional US service member who was injured last week in
an Iranian attack in Saudi Arabia, bringing the number of
Americans killed to seven. In Washington, Mitchel Hersheimer to be
o Ky News.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So we're winning the war by a lot, he says.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'll take his word for it, and I'm sure that
was the expectation probably from everybody involved, not only that
he would say that, but there would be signs that
that is the case. But I think is maybe it's unrealistic.
Maybe I'm being too picky, or maybe I'm just showing
my rear end here as far as just not understanding
that there's specific timelines, but people just want to know
(14:51):
wins is going to end.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
But I think.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Is that as a common I guess question as far
as how long it takes to accomplish the overall goal here?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Also what is the goal here?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Again, it's to completely eliminate the threat that has been
out there for so long. But I just how can
you how can you on this in meaning the United
States in their objective right now? How can you control
when it's officially over? I mean, I don't.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
It's out of your control. So only time will tell.
But Trump is going to be in Kentucky. I know
you heard a little bit of that, but a little
bit about that during the news update there from John Shannon,
we'll talk a little more about his previous trips as
he's made plenty before he became the politician, and of
course since he's been in office. We'll get we'll give
you a little rundown of his previous trips, so stick
around for that. Roy o'nial is going to join us,
(15:40):
coming up on the other side. It's all right here,
but first let's get you caught up on traffic. Bobby
Ellis has an update on the roadways this morning, and
news Radio eight forty whas. Good Monday morning, Kentucky, Ina.
Thanks for hanging out with us here. News Radio eight
forty whas it is Coffee and Company, Nick, Coffee, that's
me and I have Rory O'Neill who is joining us here. Rory, well,
that gas prices have gone up when it comes to
(16:03):
the situation in the Middle East, but now it sounds
like airline tickets could also be on the rise. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Nick. In fact, in just the past few days, we've
seen the price of jet fuel go up about fifty
four percent now about three dollars eighty eight cents a
gallon was too fifty a gallon just last month. So
that's a pretty strong spike and that is really one
of the biggest costs for airline, So expect them to
start raising fares or creating those fuel surve charges that
(16:30):
we saw a few years back in order to make
up for this difference, because look, it's significant, and we're
already starting to see some long haul flights in particular
increase the fares to make up for it.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
So we've heard from Trump when it comes to the
gas prices and how he's acknowledged everybody's I mean everybody's ware.
It'd be hard to not acknowledge that prices have gone
up dramatically in this short amount of time, and that
he's confident that they're going to go down dramatically once
this ends. But the end, that still remains to be
the biggest question.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Well, right, and how do you define that because that
is sort of different.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Is it just an end of.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Hostilities, because the real issue is oil is not moving
through the strait of poor moves. Why, Well, the insurance
companies won't ensure the ships or their cargo. They're concerned
that Iran could, especially launch drones to hit some of
these cargo ships and tankers. So the ships are all stopped.
And that's about twenty percent of the world's energy goes
through the Strait, and that's why we're seeing these big increases.
(17:27):
We've got news that countries like Kuwait are going to
cut back their oil production because nothing's moving, so you've
got no place to store it, right, So they're going
to start rolling back production as a result.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
And look nationally, we've.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Seen gas prices go up about fifty one cents in
the past week. In Kentucky, prices are up fifty point
three cents according to gas Buddy, hovering around three thirteen
a gallon right now.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Forriol Nils our guest joining us here at News Radio
eight forty whas So it sounds as if there's a
developmental crisis among young men. There's one college for Or
that is saying that it is concerning when it comes
to men's younger men's ability to focus maturity, even masculinity.
Where is this coming from? And I guess what are
the alarming signs that has led to this being a
(18:12):
conversation about this crisis among young men.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Yeah, the president at Colorado Christian University, Eric Hoag, wrote
this op ed it's on the Fox News website that
looks at young men. Boys are in crisis right now.
They don't have enough good role models. He talks about
this idea of trying to counter toxic masculinity. He says,
don't go after masculinity, go after the toxic part of it,
(18:37):
and he recommends what he calls noble masculinity instead, where
a young man can show strength, under control or courage
while in service of others. He says, yeah, the phone.
Don't just blame the phones. He says, they're a symptom
of a larger problem that boys and young men these
days don't really have the structure they need to thrive.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
So I understand the You don't want to blame it
just all on the phones, But I think the phones
in every bit of society has has Like a lot
of things we do have changed and you may not
think of it, but one of the reasons why we've
changed is because of how we've changed because of these
devices that are in front of our face at all times.
I'm one of those people myself, So I get it.
You don't just want to blame it on that, but
(19:20):
the other factors that have kind of fallen off. I mean,
I wouldn't be shocked if we look back many many
years and realize, yeah, that's when everything changed. For us,
it was all because we're just you know, we've become robots.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
His idea is sort of a chicken or the egg, right,
which came first, and his point being that you know,
one of the things the phone also does, and then
you can point to is you know, we don't have
regular TV anymore and everything else is that everything is
instant gratification. There is no necessarily there is no reward
for sticking it out or you know the facts that
you have to go to work five days a week,
(19:51):
eight hours a day, and that regular routine, that applying
yourself and focusing on things longer term. I mean, it's
not just the phone. Everything in our society now goes
faster and faster and faster, and that apparently isn't healthy
for these young men. It makes them sort of steer
away from focusing in and making a long term commitment
(20:12):
to be successful.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I think the instant gratification thing that certainly stands out.
And I again not to tie it back once again
to maybe not just the phone, but just in society
we now have like you didn't you let's go back
in time.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
You didn't.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You didn't know what you didn't know, right, you weren't
seeing at all times things that you were not able
to do that celebrities can do that the Jones is
down the street can do because they're posting it all
over the internet, all over social media. I think you
didn't know what you didn't know. You didn't know what
you were missing out on. You could sort of just
be content and grind things out, work through it. And
now you want that instant gratification and I don't see
(20:44):
that changing anytime soon.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Well, right, and you also seek the approval of others
that you have the new phone that you post online
and share about.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Right.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
It's that need for approval all the time. But it's
also this idea of you you never have to wait
for a TV show. You know, if you want to
watch The Grinch, it only came on once a year.
You had to watch it at eight o'clock. Everything was
just on demand. Even when you look at movies, look
how fast edits are. You get a screen shot for
three seconds and the director goes to a new shot.
You know, you watch Costa Blanca and it's the same
(21:15):
one camera shot for like twenty two seconds. And I
mean movies are made differently. It's all very different and
much much faster. That may not be good for young
men's minds.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
No doubt about it. Rory's always appreciate your time, Enjoy
your day. We'll talk tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
