Speaker 1 (00:00):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Coffee and Company with you here at News Radio eight
forty whas fuel but Thornton's big thanks once again to
the Thornton's location out there on New Cut Road. They
had us out for the Thornton's Customer Appreciation Day last Thursday,
and it was a hot one, but man, it was awesome.
You could tell that's one of the locations and I'm
sure many are just like it where they got a
lot of regular there's a lot of folks that start
(00:21):
maybe in their day out at Thornton's. And they did
customer appreciation and as I was trying to get more
info just as far as making sure we're doing our
part to let everybody know what's going on out there,
it was quite clear they don't really have any reason.
They were just doing it because just because they wanted
to show some appreciation for their loyal customers. And I
know they appreciate you, and I appreciate you for supporting.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Those who support us.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So again, been a long lasting partnership with Thornton's, and
I know, on my end, I hope that never changes.
So again, we are fueled by Thornton's and you should
be too, all right, So we are keeping an eye
on a developing situation from overnight. There was a house
fire in the Clifton neighborhood that has resulted in one
person dead. Our partners at WOKY they were the first
station on the scene this morning and Sam Carter has
(01:07):
been tracking this. Here is the latest as of just
the last couple of minutes as far as the situation
in Clifton Heights which this morning with the fire still going,
has impacted that area. And here is the latest again
from Sam Carter of WKY.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
It's take a look at that fire. It is happening
on Chickasaw Avenue off of North Height Avenue. WOKY was
the first station there this morning. Our Sam Carter is
now bringing us the latest. Sam, are all of those
flames out at this time?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, they are.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Out, Carrie as two homes are damaged in one person
is dead after an early morning house fire on at
Chickasaw Avenue. You can see behind me, if you've been
following this all morning, like I have, the scene very
very much diminished when we got here, multiple police scars,
dozens of fire trucks, multiple ambulances here as well. This
scene much much smaller lgne was here for a short time.
(01:58):
They have since left. We know is one person is dead.
Police were called here around two thirty this morning. When
they arrived, they say that the house was already on fire,
flames showing from another house. The fire did spread to
another home. That family did make it out. Okay, I
want you to hear what Brian O'Neil had to say
about the grim discovery that firefighters made.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Neighbors said that there was somebody inside the house that
was on fire.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
They made entry, they did find the one person, pulled
them out, but unfortunately they were deceased.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Now, no firefighters were injured a while fighting this fire.
The family that was in the home that the fire
spread to they did make it out along with their pets. Okay,
everybody there expected to be fined. But again, one person
is dead this morning after that fire. When more information
becomes available, we're going to bring it to you. Until then,
Sam Carter, they'd be okay, why news.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So yeah, tragic situation and nice to know that those
that were next door are going to be okay. Yeah,
one person dead and what a traumatic experience to have
that happen overall and then see your neighbor actually on
fire and just an awful situation. So again we'll give
you more as that as more information comes available. It
(03:16):
looks like with the presence just kind of shrinking there
as far as first responders, law enforcement officers, and fire trucks,
I would imagine that'll make that area a little less
congested for people to get up and get move in
this morning. All right, what I want to get to
after this next traffic update, because we do have what
may be the biggest accident we've had thus far in
(03:36):
the sixty five shut down on sixty five right right
before the sixty five shut down starts right right near
Fern Valley, between Fern Valley and again where it turns
into the waters and which is where the shutdown starts,
you have an accident and that is northbound at sixty
five north right near Fern Valley. That is causing the
left shoulder, left lane and the right shoulder to be blocked.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So I would.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Imagine that is having some some issues this morning. I
can't see as far as the traffic cam because I
would imagine maybe it's not active due to the shutdown.
I'm not sure, but and he has caused in some issues,
so be advised. And now what I want to get
to coming up in about five minutes, we'll talk about
Matt Bevin. Is there remains a bench warrant for his arrest.
But I'm not really sure what the bench warrant is
(04:19):
even what's what's the point of it, because it sounds
like this has been the same exact situation for maybe
two months now. But I'm sure everybody's been treated the
exact same way Matt Bevin has been treated when it
comes to a child support issue. I'm sure everybody had
the same level of grace with these empty threats about
jail time that just doesn't seem realistic. We'll let you
(04:40):
hear what the judge had to say yesterday. That's coming
up next right here. So Judge ANGELA. Johnson has ordered
Matt Bevin, former Kentucky governor, to turn over complete financial records.
We're talking tax returns, bank statements, credit card records, business documents.
And there was a June fifth deadline that we now
know he did not meet. He tried, but what he
(05:02):
provided was not good enough, and there's been a bench
warrant issued for his arrest, and it looks like that
warrant is still active, and yet what we heard yesterday
from the judge is really the same thing I feel
like she's been saying for a while now.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
This is not about making Bevan go to jail. Okay,
if he would do what's right, like I require every
other person that comes.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
In here, then I will happily resend that bench warm.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I'm not really sure if the bench warring is worth
the toilet paper you wipe your ear in with if
it doesn't actually get utilized. I mean, I know that
he's not viewed as a threat, and when it comes
to law enforcement resources, he's not viewed as somebody they
need to go get off the street because he's going
to be a violent criminal. But what I mean it
sounds like he can continue to do this for as
(05:54):
long as he wants. I mean, at some point, don't
you have to actually let somebody know that here is
the consequence for your actions as far as not doing
what a judge in court has told you that you
need to do. And it sounds like, at least from
what she's saying again, I think actions speak louder than words.
(06:15):
But she's running out of patients with him not providing
what he's been asked to provide. She's telling Bevin in
his attorney that they can't play dumb anymore. As far
as not being not knowing what it is that she wants,
I mean, and I think she's probably onto something there
that most people, most adults, especially one that you know
(06:35):
at one point was the governor, is aware of what
it is that she's asking for. And if she doesn't
get it, you know, I guess nothing happens. Right, she'd
happily lift the bench worn But again, what's the bench
warn worth if this is just the same circle they
keep going in. So again, he's not on the radar.
If somebody they got to go take in, my guess
(06:56):
would be like if he got pulled over and they
knew that he had that warrant, I guess that's when
they that's when they decide to to take somebody in.
I've never, to my knowledge, ever had a worn out
for my arrest, so I don't really know how it works.
But John, you ever had a worn.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Out for your arrest?
Speaker 5 (07:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And hopefully never do.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, I can't see that. I don't see that in
your future, but you never know. I've been wrong about
people before. Maybe I'm wrong about you.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I doubt that's the case.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
But if you're somebody that has had experience with child
support issues, and I know many of you have, rather
you're a mother who is is has never been made
whole for child support that you were owed, or if
it's somebody that tried their best and they just you know,
weren't ever they they they couldn't, they couldn't find the money.
(07:40):
That happens too, right, you know what your respond I mean,
I don't. I don't hope. I hope to never know
the full details of the entire process as far as
how it works. But I can understand that sometimes you
could be working full time with a part time job
and if you've got four kids and you owe child support,
like it could be almost impossible to make ends meet.
(08:01):
But that's why when you have kids, you have to
know that this is always the scenario that can end
up happening. You could end up having to pay child
support if you don't stick with the the mother of
that child. So there are examples on both sides of it.
But this is a different type of situation. This is
retroactive child support for a kid who's no longer a kid.
(08:22):
But still, long story short, if you are somebody that
has has has felt the wrath of a judge because
you couldn't you could not do what was being asked
of you, not because you just didn't have documents, but
you couldn't come up with the money, so that threw
you in jail. I'm sure you're looking at this and
thinking you wouldn't have got the same treatment that the
former Kentucky governor has received. But what has me more
(08:45):
curious than anything is what what is he hiding?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
What is he not?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Why is he not providing what the judge wants? They
could make this all go away. Has to be something
that it is financial related that he feels like. If
it's out there, then maybe that that's going to lead
to the judge thinking that his adopted son is actually
entitled to a lot of money. I only Bevin knows
(09:14):
right he won't share it. And again, yesterday just sounded
like the same old, same old, which is just hey,
bench warrant, you're arrest sixty days in jail? Fine, I mean,
it's just lip service at this point, it seems. But again,
the developing situation is it's not often you have a
former governor of your state that is facing a bench
warrant because.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Of a child support issue.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I would say that's probably an unusual situation, to say
the least for those that used to be, you know,
governors of a state. All right, we got sports coming
up here on the other side as a big news
yesterday in Lexington, as Kentucky has found the new man
to lead their athletic department. And no surprise, this is
somebody that has more of a CEO type background than
(10:00):
and the traditional ad which is the way to go
currently here, it seems in college athletics. All Right, it
is six thirty five here at news Radio eight forty
whas Nick coffee with me, and I've got the one
and only the company man, mister John Alden alongside today.
And he didn't even have to tell me. I can
tell he's got World Cup fever. It's there, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I could tell me. I could tell I just looking
at you.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
But watching the opening game on Friday nine, especially seeing
him dominate the way that they did, that definitely lit
up the World Cup fever inside of me for sure.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Fair to say that, even though it wasn't necessarily like
a great opponent. Yeah, that's a great way to get started,
because even if it falls short, like there's there's some
energy from that performance where you won was it four
to one?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, And there's usually a lot of pressure on the
host nation to really have a showing the way that
they did in that opening game and to have them
do what they did and as dominantly as they did,
it made it very It made it very fun, and
it gives us a lot of you know, hope and
excitement for not only this Friday, but every game that
may come after that.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah. And I also I also think that the in
previous situations, whenever there was pressure on the United States
and soccer really in a lot of instance it's not
just World Cup, we've we've succumbed to the pressure and
and and and not come through. So uh, there is
that added pressure, as you mentioned, to be the host
and to get off on a goods on a good foot,
(11:22):
and sure enough, that's exactly what's happened. So Uh, I
ended up watching Friday more so than I anticipated. And UH,
I won't act like I was all in like diehard
soccer fans, but there's always going to be some level
of that natural gravitation towards something that you know is, hey,
there's no questioning who I'm pulling for, right, I don't
(11:42):
need to turn on a game and figure out who
do I want to win, right, you know, it's it's
all about supporting the United States. So nice to see
the get nice, nice to see them getting off to
a good start. And I love seeing all the different
cultures that are that are here with us in the
United States for the World Cup, that are experiencing American
culture for the first time. So this led me to
do a deep dive and just look at all these
countries that are participating in the World Cup and things
(12:05):
from their culture that we would find highly unusual. And
an example from what they find highly unusual is salsa
or Mexican restaurants that they just give you chips and
salsa like endless.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Like they don't. They're not.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
They think like, well, this is this, what's the catch.
I don't I don't want them, I don't want to
have to pay for it.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
They don't quite understand that that's just kind of that's
the understood rule at Mexican restaurants that they're going to
bring you chips and salsa and that is not something
you have to pay for and uh, you can actually
get really full on it if you want. So let's
take a look at at Jordan. So Jordan is making
their first ever World Cup appearance in twenty twenty six here,
and they are defined in that culture by extreme hospitality
(12:49):
or hospitality.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Sorry, believe it.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Or not, I do know how to read, but it
says here that it's considered deeply offensive to refuse food
or drink that is offered by somebody that is hosting
you in the in the country of Jordan. So refusing
is not polite. Refusing is actually believed to be an insult.
So if you come to my house in Jordan, John,
you're a picky eater and I offer you something, you're
(13:12):
slapping me in the face if you turn it down.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I want you to know that.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Okay, Yeah, I wouldn't want to be invited into somebody's
house in Jordan because I am a fairly picky.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeader all the times, and I just I don't know
what it is like, I'm rarely going to take somebody
up on an offer of food or drink, not because
like I want to be rude, It's just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I'm weird like that.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I can tell you many times where I've been because
people want to be nice, they want to be gracious
and say, hey, what can I gets you?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
What can offer you? And I'm typically o, no, oh,
thank you, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
How about in Saudi Arabia, how about this talk about
something we would not be able to relate to. They're
the last country on earth to grant women the right
to drive, which wow, that's that's you know, being the
last to do it isn't necessarily some random fact. The
fact that it's just a six year old thing is
what we really wouldn't be able to to imagine women
(14:01):
not being able to legally drive until we hit twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Right when COVID is nonetheless.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, and Iran, which fitting that, you know, we have
a current situation with Iran, but a little bit more
on their culture is something I did not know that
in Iran parents call their children by the relationship term.
A father will call his own child daddy as a
term of endearment. That just feels very h The father
calls the kid yes, eddie, yeah. The whole family calls
(14:28):
each other by relationship names rather than given names and
everyone is everyone's parent.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I don't even know why that.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, that doesn't make any sense to me, but apparently
that's the culture in Irane's parents. And when they order
soft drinks, they don't order by the type of soft
drink like cola or root beer. They order by just
color black if you want coker pepsi white for sprite
yellow as I guess fanta. So yeah, that's something that
(14:59):
is odd to me. And then in New Zealand they
go barefoot everywhere, stores, restaurants, gas stations. It's completely normal
and socially acceptable if you just walk around barefoot, and
it has nothing to do with poverty. It's just the
key we way, as they call it. No shoes, no shirt,
you still get service.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Well, man, the team should just play barefoot there. Yeah, uh,
that would be gross to be I guess you'd get
used to it. But feet, Yeah, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I don't want I don't I don't want to see
your feet and I don't want I don't want anything
of mind touching the surface where your your your nasty
feet have have been. So again, some of these are
are you can't relate, right, And then some of them
just don't really make any sense like this one. How
about in South Korea. South Korea has a widespread belief
called fan death. They believe that sleeping in a closed
(15:47):
room with a running electric fan will.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Kill you, so they'd be really scared of my room.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
So fans sold in South Korea have built in safety
timers specifically to prevent fan death, and that is treated
as a real medical fact in South Korea. And do
they not realize they can do some trial and error?
I mean, I don't think you want to do a
trial in air that you think would call somebody their life.
But hey, you've you heard of the internet, Like this
is the thing, folks. You can sleep in a room
(16:12):
with a fan and it's not going to kill you.
But they actually think that having an electric fan in
an enclosed room while sleeping is going to cause death
by a suffocation hypothermia or bad air build up hypothermia.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Like who said this? And then they just ran with it.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
If it's superstition of some sort, that that's just that's
that is that is odd.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So again throughout the World Cup, we'll take a look
at more of these is uh I I cannot get
enough of it, of all the World Cup content that's
out there, and there's certainly plenty. Seeing how those from
other countries are taking in the American experience has not
only been interesting to me, but in a way has
made me feel kind of proud about certain things that
(16:56):
we have that you know, they're jealous of. I don't
know if it's a great look that a lot of
it has to do with food stuff, right, I think
if you're gonna give a country, if you're gonna just
assume that a country has ammunition on you to make
fun of you, you know they're going with where a
bunch of fatties?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, so you know, maybe it's not a great sign
that they they are, at least while here traveling taking
in on how we've become so fat. But hey, make
yourself at home enjoy what has led to American culture
having a lot of people that are overweight.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Do you do you have anything from the Aussies since
we got them this Friday? Or let's see, uh, they're
they're on this long list? Either was one? Let me
pull it up here, because.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
They probably keep weird animals as pets, like you know,
kangaroos is what you think of and maybe koalas that
sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
And look, I am not somebody that is that is
in any way culturally diverse like I've I've been to
I've been to Canada as far as going to Niagara Falls,
and I've been to Mexico. I've not traveled many places
outside the country, but I've always just felt like Australia
seems to have very seems to have a similar culture
(18:01):
to us, other than like complete time difference and the accent.
But I could I literally, I'm probably basing that off
of a movie I watch.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Everything Can Kill You in Australia too, though they have
very bunch of poisonous animal.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
There you go, so there you're onto something, mister Alden.
Australia has more species of venomous snakes than any other country.
Twenty of the world's twenty five most venomous snakes are
Australian and since here the continent tried very hard to
eliminate everything.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
That lives there.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
But again, it's It also says that it's considered rude
not to make small talk with your taxi driver. Silent
silence is seen as snobbish and cold. So that's the
opposite of New York yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
So you'd be seen as a big snob problem.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah though, but what if you have your headphones in,
Like is that like the signs? Yeah, that is that
and that is that is one thing that you quickly learn.
You know, as soon as you hit the ground of
another country, I think you will find out what is
every day normal to you and your country. What can
be perceived just rude in other countries, like people who
(19:02):
don't understand like when you walk, when you in countries
that are way more crowded, where you just bump into it.
People bump bump into each other all the time. They're
used to it. Around here, you do that, You're like,
you might get beat up if you just shoulder bumped
somebody because you're walking not paying attention. I know other
countries they do that, not because they're jerks, they just that's.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Normal for them.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
So anyways, we'll do more of that throughout as we
get closer to to not only the next matchup for
the United States, but just as the World Cup continues. Right,
We've got a gut check coming your way from the
one and only Leland Conway. He's got a story about
a woman making an insane amount of money selling candles
and has a good laugh about what this really says
about our society today.
That's right.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Coffee and Company with you here at News Radio eight
forty whas fuel but Thornton's big thanks once again to
the Thornton's location out there on New Cut Road. They
had us out for the Thornton's Customer Appreciation Day last Thursday,
and it was a hot one, but man, it was awesome.
You could tell that's one of the locations and I'm
sure many are just like it where they got a
lot of regular there's a lot of folks that start
(00:21):
maybe in their day out at Thornton's. And they did
customer appreciation and as I was trying to get more
info just as far as making sure we're doing our
part to let everybody know what's going on out there,
it was quite clear they don't really have any reason.
They were just doing it because just because they wanted
to show some appreciation for their loyal customers. And I
know they appreciate you, and I appreciate you for supporting.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Those who support us.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So again, been a long lasting partnership with Thornton's, and
I know, on my end, I hope that never changes.
So again, we are fueled by Thornton's and you should
be too, all right, So we are keeping an eye
on a developing situation from overnight. There was a house
fire in the Clifton neighborhood that has resulted in one
person dead. Our partners at WOKY they were the first

Yeah, they are.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Out, Carrie as two homes are damaged in one person

The family that was in the home that the fire

everybody there expected to be fined. But again, one person
is dead this morning after that fire. When more information
becomes available, we're going to bring it to you. Until then,
Sam Carter, they'd be okay, why news.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So yeah, tragic situation and nice to know that those
that were next door are going to be okay. Yeah,
one person dead and what a traumatic experience to have
that happen overall and then see your neighbor actually on
fire and just an awful situation. So again we'll give
you more as that as more information comes available. It
(03:16):
looks like with the presence just kind of shrinking there
as far as first responders, law enforcement officers, and fire trucks,
I would imagine that'll make that area a little less
congested for people to get up and get move in
this morning. All right, what I want to get to
after this next traffic update, because we do have what
may be the biggest accident we've had thus far in
(03:36):
the sixty five shut down on sixty five right right
before the sixty five shut down starts right right near
Fern Valley, between Fern Valley and again where it turns
into the waters and which is where the shutdown starts,
you have an accident and that is northbound at sixty
five north right near Fern Valley. That is causing the
left shoulder, left lane and the right shoulder to be blocked.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So I would.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Imagine that is having some some issues this morning. I
can't see as far as the traffic cam because I
would imagine maybe it's not active due to the shutdown.
I'm not sure, but and he has caused in some issues,
so be advised. And now what I want to get
to coming up in about five minutes, we'll talk about
Matt Bevin. Is there remains a bench warrant for his arrest.
But I'm not really sure what the bench warrant is
(04:19):
even what's what's the point of it, because it sounds
like this has been the same exact situation for maybe
two months now. But I'm sure everybody's been treated the
exact same way Matt Bevin has been treated when it
comes to a child support issue. I'm sure everybody had
the same level of grace with these empty threats about
jail time that just doesn't seem realistic. We'll let you
(04:40):
hear what the judge had to say yesterday. That's coming
up next right here. So Judge ANGELA. Johnson has ordered
Matt Bevin, former Kentucky governor, to turn over complete financial records.
We're talking tax returns, bank statements, credit card records, business documents.
And there was a June fifth deadline that we now
know he did not meet. He tried, but what he
(05:02):
provided was not good enough, and there's been a bench
warrant issued for his arrest, and it looks like that
warrant is still active, and yet what we heard yesterday
from the judge is really the same thing I feel
like she's been saying for a while now.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
This is not about making Bevan go to jail. Okay,
if he would do what's right, like I require every
other person that comes.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
In here, then I will happily resend that bench warm.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I'm not really sure if the bench warring is worth
the toilet paper you wipe your ear in with if
it doesn't actually get utilized. I mean, I know that
he's not viewed as a threat, and when it comes
to law enforcement resources, he's not viewed as somebody they
need to go get off the street because he's going
to be a violent criminal. But what I mean it
sounds like he can continue to do this for as
(05:54):
long as he wants. I mean, at some point, don't
you have to actually let somebody know that here is
the consequence for your actions as far as not doing
what a judge in court has told you that you
need to do. And it sounds like, at least from
what she's saying again, I think actions speak louder than words.
(06:15):
But she's running out of patients with him not providing
what he's been asked to provide. She's telling Bevin in
his attorney that they can't play dumb anymore. As far
as not being not knowing what it is that she wants,
I mean, and I think she's probably onto something there
that most people, most adults, especially one that you know
(06:35):
at one point was the governor, is aware of what
it is that she's asking for. And if she doesn't
get it, you know, I guess nothing happens. Right, she'd
happily lift the bench worn But again, what's the bench
warn worth if this is just the same circle they
keep going in. So again, he's not on the radar.
If somebody they got to go take in, my guess
(06:56):
would be like if he got pulled over and they
knew that he had that warrant, I guess that's when
they that's when they decide to to take somebody in.
I've never, to my knowledge, ever had a worn out
for my arrest, so I don't really know how it works.
But John, you ever had a worn.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Out for your arrest?
Speaker 5 (07:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And hopefully never do.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, I can't see that. I don't see that in
your future, but you never know. I've been wrong about
people before. Maybe I'm wrong about you.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I doubt that's the case.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
But if you're somebody that has had experience with child
support issues, and I know many of you have, rather
you're a mother who is is has never been made
whole for child support that you were owed, or if
it's somebody that tried their best and they just you know,
weren't ever they they they couldn't, they couldn't find the money.
(07:40):
That happens too, right, you know what your respond I mean,
I don't. I don't hope. I hope to never know
the full details of the entire process as far as
how it works. But I can understand that sometimes you
could be working full time with a part time job
and if you've got four kids and you owe child support,
like it could be almost impossible to make ends meet.
(08:01):
But that's why when you have kids, you have to
know that this is always the scenario that can end
up happening. You could end up having to pay child
support if you don't stick with the the mother of
that child. So there are examples on both sides of it.
But this is a different type of situation. This is
retroactive child support for a kid who's no longer a kid.
(08:22):
But still, long story short, if you are somebody that
has has has felt the wrath of a judge because
you couldn't you could not do what was being asked
of you, not because you just didn't have documents, but
you couldn't come up with the money, so that threw
you in jail. I'm sure you're looking at this and
thinking you wouldn't have got the same treatment that the
former Kentucky governor has received. But what has me more
(08:45):
curious than anything is what what is he hiding?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
What is he not?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Why is he not providing what the judge wants? They
could make this all go away. Has to be something
that it is financial related that he feels like. If
it's out there, then maybe that that's going to lead
to the judge thinking that his adopted son is actually
entitled to a lot of money. I only Bevin knows
(09:14):
right he won't share it. And again, yesterday just sounded
like the same old, same old, which is just hey,
bench warrant, you're arrest sixty days in jail? Fine, I mean,
it's just lip service at this point, it seems. But again,
the developing situation is it's not often you have a
former governor of your state that is facing a bench
warrant because.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Of a child support issue.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I would say that's probably an unusual situation, to say
the least for those that used to be, you know,
governors of a state. All right, we got sports coming
up here on the other side as a big news
yesterday in Lexington, as Kentucky has found the new man
to lead their athletic department. And no surprise, this is
somebody that has more of a CEO type background than
(10:00):
and the traditional ad which is the way to go
currently here, it seems in college athletics. All Right, it
is six thirty five here at news Radio eight forty
whas Nick coffee with me, and I've got the one
and only the company man, mister John Alden alongside today.
And he didn't even have to tell me. I can
tell he's got World Cup fever. It's there, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I could tell me. I could tell I just looking
at you.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
But watching the opening game on Friday nine, especially seeing
him dominate the way that they did, that definitely lit
up the World Cup fever inside of me for sure.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Fair to say that, even though it wasn't necessarily like
a great opponent. Yeah, that's a great way to get started,
because even if it falls short, like there's there's some
energy from that performance where you won was it four
to one?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, And there's usually a lot of pressure on the
host nation to really have a showing the way that
they did in that opening game and to have them
do what they did and as dominantly as they did,
it made it very It made it very fun, and
it gives us a lot of you know, hope and
excitement for not only this Friday, but every game that
may come after that.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah. And I also I also think that the in
previous situations, whenever there was pressure on the United States
and soccer really in a lot of instance it's not
just World Cup, we've we've succumbed to the pressure and
and and and not come through. So uh, there is
that added pressure, as you mentioned, to be the host
and to get off on a goods on a good foot,
(11:22):
and sure enough, that's exactly what's happened. So Uh, I
ended up watching Friday more so than I anticipated. And UH,
I won't act like I was all in like diehard
soccer fans, but there's always going to be some level
of that natural gravitation towards something that you know is, hey,
there's no questioning who I'm pulling for, right, I don't
(11:42):
need to turn on a game and figure out who
do I want to win, right, you know, it's it's
all about supporting the United States. So nice to see
the get nice, nice to see them getting off to
a good start. And I love seeing all the different
cultures that are that are here with us in the
United States for the World Cup, that are experiencing American
culture for the first time. So this led me to
do a deep dive and just look at all these
countries that are participating in the World Cup and things
(12:05):
from their culture that we would find highly unusual. And
an example from what they find highly unusual is salsa
or Mexican restaurants that they just give you chips and
salsa like endless.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Like they don't. They're not.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
They think like, well, this is this, what's the catch.
I don't I don't want them, I don't want to
have to pay for it.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
They don't quite understand that that's just kind of that's
the understood rule at Mexican restaurants that they're going to
bring you chips and salsa and that is not something
you have to pay for and uh, you can actually
get really full on it if you want. So let's
take a look at at Jordan. So Jordan is making
their first ever World Cup appearance in twenty twenty six here,
and they are defined in that culture by extreme hospitality
(12:49):
or hospitality.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Sorry, believe it.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Or not, I do know how to read, but it
says here that it's considered deeply offensive to refuse food
or drink that is offered by somebody that is hosting
you in the in the country of Jordan. So refusing
is not polite. Refusing is actually believed to be an insult.
So if you come to my house in Jordan, John,
you're a picky eater and I offer you something, you're
(13:12):
slapping me in the face if you turn it down.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I want you to know that.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Okay, Yeah, I wouldn't want to be invited into somebody's
house in Jordan because I am a fairly picky.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeader all the times, and I just I don't know
what it is like, I'm rarely going to take somebody
up on an offer of food or drink, not because
like I want to be rude, It's just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I'm weird like that.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I can tell you many times where I've been because
people want to be nice, they want to be gracious
and say, hey, what can I gets you?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
What can offer you? And I'm typically o, no, oh,
thank you, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
How about in Saudi Arabia, how about this talk about
something we would not be able to relate to. They're
the last country on earth to grant women the right
to drive, which wow, that's that's you know, being the
last to do it isn't necessarily some random fact. The
fact that it's just a six year old thing is
what we really wouldn't be able to to imagine women
(14:01):
not being able to legally drive until we hit twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Right when COVID is nonetheless.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, and Iran, which fitting that, you know, we have
a current situation with Iran, but a little bit more
on their culture is something I did not know that
in Iran parents call their children by the relationship term.
A father will call his own child daddy as a
term of endearment. That just feels very h The father
calls the kid yes, eddie, yeah. The whole family calls
(14:28):
each other by relationship names rather than given names and
everyone is everyone's parent.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I don't even know why that.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, that doesn't make any sense to me, but apparently
that's the culture in Irane's parents. And when they order
soft drinks, they don't order by the type of soft
drink like cola or root beer. They order by just
color black if you want coker pepsi white for sprite
yellow as I guess fanta. So yeah, that's something that
(14:59):
is odd to me. And then in New Zealand they
go barefoot everywhere, stores, restaurants, gas stations. It's completely normal
and socially acceptable if you just walk around barefoot, and
it has nothing to do with poverty. It's just the
key we way, as they call it. No shoes, no shirt,
you still get service.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Well, man, the team should just play barefoot there. Yeah, uh,
that would be gross to be I guess you'd get
used to it. But feet, Yeah, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I don't want I don't I don't want to see
your feet and I don't want I don't want anything
of mind touching the surface where your your your nasty
feet have have been. So again, some of these are
are you can't relate, right, And then some of them
just don't really make any sense like this one. How
about in South Korea. South Korea has a widespread belief
called fan death. They believe that sleeping in a closed
(15:47):
room with a running electric fan will.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Kill you, so they'd be really scared of my room.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
So fans sold in South Korea have built in safety
timers specifically to prevent fan death, and that is treated
as a real medical fact in South Korea. And do
they not realize they can do some trial and error?
I mean, I don't think you want to do a
trial in air that you think would call somebody their life.
But hey, you've you heard of the internet, Like this
is the thing, folks. You can sleep in a room
(16:12):
with a fan and it's not going to kill you.
But they actually think that having an electric fan in
an enclosed room while sleeping is going to cause death
by a suffocation hypothermia or bad air build up hypothermia.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Like who said this? And then they just ran with it.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
If it's superstition of some sort, that that's just that's
that is that is odd.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So again throughout the World Cup, we'll take a look
at more of these is uh I I cannot get
enough of it, of all the World Cup content that's
out there, and there's certainly plenty. Seeing how those from
other countries are taking in the American experience has not
only been interesting to me, but in a way has
made me feel kind of proud about certain things that
(16:56):
we have that you know, they're jealous of. I don't
know if it's a great look that a lot of
it has to do with food stuff, right, I think
if you're gonna give a country, if you're gonna just
assume that a country has ammunition on you to make
fun of you, you know they're going with where a
bunch of fatties?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, so you know, maybe it's not a great sign
that they they are, at least while here traveling taking
in on how we've become so fat. But hey, make
yourself at home enjoy what has led to American culture
having a lot of people that are overweight.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Do you do you have anything from the Aussies since
we got them this Friday? Or let's see, uh, they're
they're on this long list? Either was one? Let me
pull it up here, because.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
They probably keep weird animals as pets, like you know,
kangaroos is what you think of and maybe koalas that
sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
And look, I am not somebody that is that is
in any way culturally diverse like I've I've been to
I've been to Canada as far as going to Niagara Falls,
and I've been to Mexico. I've not traveled many places
outside the country, but I've always just felt like Australia
seems to have very seems to have a similar culture
(18:01):
to us, other than like complete time difference and the accent.
But I could I literally, I'm probably basing that off
of a movie I watch.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Everything Can Kill You in Australia too, though they have
very bunch of poisonous animal.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
There you go, so there you're onto something, mister Alden.
Australia has more species of venomous snakes than any other country.
Twenty of the world's twenty five most venomous snakes are
Australian and since here the continent tried very hard to
eliminate everything.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
That lives there.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
But again, it's It also says that it's considered rude
not to make small talk with your taxi driver. Silent
silence is seen as snobbish and cold. So that's the
opposite of New York yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
So you'd be seen as a big snob problem.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah though, but what if you have your headphones in,
Like is that like the signs? Yeah, that is that
and that is that is one thing that you quickly learn.
You know, as soon as you hit the ground of
another country, I think you will find out what is
every day normal to you and your country. What can
be perceived just rude in other countries, like people who
(19:02):
don't understand like when you walk, when you in countries
that are way more crowded, where you just bump into it.
People bump bump into each other all the time. They're
used to it. Around here, you do that, You're like,
you might get beat up if you just shoulder bumped
somebody because you're walking not paying attention. I know other
countries they do that, not because they're jerks, they just that's.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Normal for them.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
So anyways, we'll do more of that throughout as we
get closer to to not only the next matchup for
the United States, but just as the World Cup continues. Right,
We've got a gut check coming your way from the
one and only Leland Conway. He's got a story about
a woman making an insane amount of money selling candles
and has a good laugh about what this really says
about our society today.
