Speaker 1 (00:00):
That's right. It is Coffee and Company, and we are
fueled by Thornton's. You should be too. They've got what
you need to stay fueled for the day ahead, so
keep them in mind, whether it's on your way in
this morning or maybe for lunch. They've got plenty of
options when it comes to food, and I believe they
were a big factor in the new world we have
here with gas station and convenience store food. It's no
longer something you eat because you have to and there's
(00:21):
no other option. You seek it out because they've got
some really good options. And I know the Nashville Hot
Chicken pizza at Thornton's is the latest food item that
they've made available that is really popular. So again, we
are fueled by Thornton's. You should be too, because you
can save money at the pump if you become a
member of their Refreshment Awards program. You save money every
time you fill up, including a chance to save up
to twenty five cents off per gallon once per week.
(00:44):
All right, been a busy morning. We are currently at
a flash flood warning here in Jefferson County until nine o'clock.
That's the amount of rain that has come down this morning.
A lot of that rain has come and gone as
far as the Metro area, but it left an impact.
Some accidents this morning have slowed a lot of people down,
disabled vehicle And yeah, that's the type of thing you
can expect when you've got the rain that came down
(01:05):
that quickly ponding on the Interstates, hydro plane scenarios. So again,
stay safe out there and we'll get you caught up
on traffic and the forecast in just a couple of minutes.
If you need a distraction from you know, the real
life stuff that's going on that'll worry you even though
you have no control over it, like the war we're
currently in. Look no further than what's going on with
(01:27):
the World Cup, as you have many countries experiencing American
culture for the first time because they're here to watch
their country on the pitch. They're here for the World Cup,
and I love seeing that they love certain things about
America and we kind of love that we love them
loving what we have, and then also just like having
(01:49):
a good time. I mean the fans from Ecuador in
New York City, I mean that looked like a party
that I want to be at. Right, and you can
just see with a language barrier probably in play with
a lot of these individuals, it doesn't matter. They're just
having a good time, enjoying each other's companies, celebrating the
World Cup, and it's it's awesome to see. I'm not
sure I knew how much we needed to see those
(02:11):
kind of things. Now, the one that has just seems
so natural, Like I don't know how they can can
can move forward together. But like the city of Boston
and Scotland the country, they belong as one. I mean,
like I think it started with just the ultimate respect
that Boston now has for people from Scotland because they
came and they drank all the booze, they drank them dry.
(02:32):
They had a real low supply of beer and even
some of the liquor. And then I don't know why
this is so awesome. But if you haven't seen, which
I can't show you of course this is radio, but
I can let you hear the street performer who has
a man from Scotland that shows up with his bagpipes
and it's a street performer slash bagpipe collaboration, and it's
(02:53):
it's a beautiful thing to see and hear, and I
didn't see the lead up to it, but as you
could expect, everybody's kind of gathering around as these two
(03:13):
are are are jamming together. But it almost looks like
the guy just showed up with his bagpipes, like, Hey,
we don't even need to talk. I'm just gonna jump
in here and we're gonna have a good time together.
It's really cool to see. And you've got you've got
drunk fans that are in Boston that live there, they're natives,
and they're doing these tearful interviews with TV stations talking
about how I'm gonna go with Goat Scotland next year,
(03:35):
and they're gonna go and like they're planning on linking
up on their side of the pond. It's really really
cool and things we take for granted that we're now
learning that like we probably shouldn't take for granted. This
is somebody documenting their experience in America and letting them
know about what we have here called air conditioning. This
is wild.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
They have the craziest thing here in America.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
So it's blazing HOI outside, well look at this.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I'm going to step into this establishment and it's chilly.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
It's hot outside, and but when you step in, it's
like a winter's day.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
It is a winter's day. That's that means the AC
is working. If it's hot outside and you step indoors
and it's and it's cold as a winter's day, that's
a good way to, uh to describe it. I never
take acs for granted because I know how much I
enjoy having it. When you don't have it, you'll learn to,
uh to really appreciate it. And then how about this
guy uh talking about some food he had in Texas.
(04:34):
He wanted to let the people back home know just
how much he enjoyed it. Now, this this clip comes
from somebody's TikTok, so you'll hear somebody set this up
in the beginning. But really good stuff right.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Now is absolutely Europeans experiencing America.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I just.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
For the first time in my life, better than any
moment in my life.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And I am married and have two kids.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
But in behind you that they have.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
He may live ross for Texas bisket.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
He'd give his left croisch hunt for a for a
Texas brisket. That's somebody from France who's letting letting it
be known that the best thing he's ever experienced in life,
including you know, he's got children and a wife, is
the Texas brisket that he had, so uh, I like
to see that. Uh. You know, there's a lot of
things they're enjoying, but a lot of it doesn't it
seem that they just really take advantage of we're a
(05:30):
fatty country. I mean, let's be real, like, if you're
gonna if somebody's got some some are if the ammunition
is already there for another country to make fun of us,
wouldn't they start with us being fat?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah? But here's the thing. They get it now, they know,
yeah fat, we have some of the best food that
ever existed, and they're getting a taste of it.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
That's true. You know, it is funny because some of
the some of the videos, like those I shared with you,
start off with look, I know what I said about
America before, or look I just I just wanted to
be known. We no longer can make fun of America
because you won't. They've got biscuits and great and that's
just one of the many food items that really I
don't think is that complicated. But they don't have a
lot of it, and I will say, I feel like
(06:07):
a really idiot not knowing this. I didn't know ranch
dressing was an American thing, only like you can get
it elsewhere in other countries, but it's like not the same.
And there are people here in America that what they
thought was ranch they're now realizing was a lie. Now
they know what real ranch is and it's a big
factor in why we're all fat because it's not healthy
for you, but man, it's delicious. So it's really been
(06:29):
cool to see. I had no expectation as far as
really anything when it comes to me experiencing the World Cup,
because I don't follow soccer and I probably never will.
But the concept of the overall tournament is really cool,
and when you're hosting it, that adds a whole new
way of you being able to enjoy it. But more
than anything, what I'm loving is to see all these
people from across the world that are here for the
(06:51):
first time and they're enjoying themselves, and you're seeing the
human side of America, which at times you don't see,
and they're just enjoying other just catching a vibe together.
It's really awesome. All Right, we'll talk about what happened
in Highlands over the weekend, Yes, you guessed it, more nonsense,
more arrests, and this time around two people got shot.
(07:12):
So it was another active weekend for this new task
force that LMPD has put together to monitor different areas
in Louisville that need monitoring when it comes to night life.
And the data tells you that this task force is
doing exactly what it was intended to do. They're still
out there with a bigger presence and they're arresting people
who break the law, and yet that hasn't stopped people
(07:35):
from showing up and wanting to still do the same
thing every weekend, specifically in the Highlands, where you have
fifteen arrests, including four juveniles juveniles, and also you had
two shootings. They were non fatal, but you went from
the same nonsense with fights in the streets, people getting arrested,
and now you throw in two people that were shot
and four guns, by the way, were seized. So I
(07:57):
don't look at this as a chance to pile on
the city or the task force itself, because again, if
you were somebody that thought this was just going to
change automatically, because there's a task force at play and
we weren't going to still have these issues. That's delusion.
This all starts with people deciding to behave responsibly and
be mature adults, although some of these people technically aren't adults. Right.
(08:19):
Four juveniles were arrested out between two and five am
on Saturday night. So now what we have is really
the same situation right. Not enough progress as far as
just it's stopping, but that progress is going to be
dependent upon people actually no longer leaving the house and
wanting to be out until the next morning. But now
(08:42):
we have some restaurant business owners, bar owners and citizens
that live in the area not really on the same
page because you're hearing from residents that want a curfew.
Right now, these bars stay up until four am, and
you've got folks that live in the area claiming that
that that can only help as far as just making
(09:03):
it to where instead of four am, they close at
two am. Because what's going on right now, it's just
a recipe for disaster, and that's what we're getting each
and every weekend. And when it comes to gunshots and
people getting shot, it actually got worse this weekend.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Whenever you have liquor, you have miners, mixing in with adults,
you're making an explosive cocktail. And that's what we just
saw last night.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
That was from my partners at wk WHY who talked
to one of those that live in the area. Now
the bar owners claim, well, hey, you know, we're not
the problem here. We're not at fault, and we actually
love that we can claim we're open till four o'clock
in the morning because that's what sets us apart from
other cities in the region when it comes to night life.
(09:47):
We let them stay out and get drunk later, We'll
allow them to stay out and in our establishment till
four o'clock in the morning. I don't know if that's
something you want to brag about. There might be a
reason other cities that are doing just fine, and in
many areas they're doing better than us, they're not looking
to stay open to a four am because they kind
(10:07):
of seem to understand you might get a crowd you
don't want if your pitch is, hey, come here, we're
open to a four am.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I don't know if anybody out here in the City
of Louisville really has that as the marketing message. But
still to push back that you want to stay open
till four, because it's what's That's not like there's a
reason other cities don't do that. There's a reason that
we are in an extremely rare situation here where you
can stay out that late. And look, not everybody who
(10:36):
wants to stay out late into the morning is going
to be out acting like a fool, but enough people
are to where it's become an issue that, regardless if
that's what you want, it is not sustainable for the
area itself in the Highlands. So again, two things to
keep in mind here. One, this only stops if people
(10:58):
stop acting like idiots and breaking the law in choosing
to be out late, getting in fights, getting drunk, shooting
each other like that. That's not anything a task force
can stop. But also a curfew closing these bars at
two instead of four can only help, And it also
might keep people from even wanting to come out that way,
(11:19):
because you know what, if they know they got to
go home at two, they might not show up at all.
Both people that were shot over the weekend that happened
between the two am hour and the five am hour,
all right, trafficking weather on the way. Also a news
update from John Shannon we actually have some developing news
when it comes to the latest with the Iran situation,
(11:42):
and we'll let you hear what jad Van said has
say this morning. Keep a lock right here. It's News
Radio eight forty whas it is eight thirty five here
on a Monday morning, and we've got a flash flood
warning until nine o'clock. As we've had plenty of rains
so far this morning, and if you look at the
forecast for the of the day, we could have some
more showers scattered really throughout the entirety of the day.
(12:05):
Now it looks like as we move forward into the
late afternoon into the evening, that'll go away. We're looking
at mostly cloudy skies. But yes, it's been a wet
day thus far, will continue to be that way. So
be advised again. Flash flood morning currently in Jefferson County
until nine o'clock. All right, So it might see if
you've been casually keeping up with the back and forth
(12:25):
between the United States and Iran, as we keep hearing
about a peace deal and the framework of a deal,
and there's a lot of optimism that had been shared
and things seem to be heading in the right direction
and anytime you think that, you realize that they've said, Okay,
now we're going to close down the straight and it
kind of feels like they're toying with us. They're kind
(12:48):
of trash talking a little bit. And that's exactly the
way jd. Vance described it this morning. He gave I
thought of just from what I've been able to gather,
this actually was I believe live when we were on
the air, but just looking at some of the takeaways
from it, I thought it was a pretty notable update
this morning, all things considered. And again the warning is
out there from Vance and Trump when it comes to
(13:10):
the Iranian negotiators talking trash.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Essentially, what we told the Iranians yesterday is when you
guys engage in what US millennials might call trash talk,
you can't expect the President of the United States not
to respond and not to correct the record. So when
they say things that aren't true, that president is going
to respond to it. I'm going to respond to it.
Americans are going to respond to it. When they make
threats that aren't rooted in reality, they have to accept
(13:37):
that the President of the United States is actually going
to set the record straight. That's all that happened. So, yes,
there was a little bit of threatening, there was a
little bit of whining, but at the end of the day,
the talks continued and we made great progress.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
So we've heard that before, right, we've made great progress.
What we haven't heard before is that they've actually taken
a step here or Iran has agreed to allow nuclear
inspections to take place. I mean, again, if you're somebody
that's in the well, I believe it when I see
(14:10):
it mindset, totally get it. I think you're justified in
that mindset. But this is really like the first actual
step in denuclearizing or permanently ending a nuclear weapons program
that they have. Here's Jadevan's talking about that b.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And this is probably what we're most excited about as Americans.
The Iranians have agreed to invite IAEA inspectors back into
their country. That is a major milestone for the American
people and the first step in permanently denuclearizing or permanently
ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran. And that's exactly
(14:47):
what we wanted to do. That's exactly what we asked
to happen. We made a lot of great progress on
other nuclear talks, and that leads me to the final
thing that we wanted to accomplish, which is actually set
up the process for the technical negotia that will follow.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So here's where we are. Uh that is that is
a legitimate, notable update as far as just conclusion and
the actual objective being able to be handled. You still
have to worry about at the end of the day,
like what are they going to actually do? And only
they can control that. But that is encouraging, no doubt.
But also I could appreciate the the comparing it to
(15:24):
just trash talk, because there's no doubt, there's there's obvious
evidence that then anytime there's a seemingly peaceful step forward
to get this resolved, we share that where you know,
Trump and Vance whoever, they share that with everybody, only
to then get the response from the Iranian side that oh, yeah, no,
screw that, they're just toying with us. Right. It's like
(15:45):
the it's like the kid in school who acts like
he like once again in fights, he's probably been beat
up a few times, but you know, he didn't quit,
so he feels tough, and uh, he doesn't really want
to challenge anybody whenever it's time to do that. But
then you know, once he gets to his third period,
he'll tell people, oh yeah, uh nah, we wanted to fight.
(16:07):
He'll he'll tell it his own way. But not only
is it clear that they're doing that now, we know
that there's going to be pushback. There's going to be consequences.
At least that's what they say. So encouraging, but again,
if you were somebody that is in the well, you know,
I'll believe it when I see it. I think I
think you're justified because we've kind of been in for
(16:28):
at least two and a half maybe three weeks now
in the same area essentially where the noise is that
it's getting better. In fact, we've even heard that it
was over and we won, and then you know we didn't,
which is a reminder that you need two sides to
actually play ball, unless you just you know, if you
can't get them to fully do what you know you
(16:50):
claim they need to do as far as honoring this agreement,
obliterating them maybe your only option. And I don't think
you want to do that. I don't think anybody wants that.
I shouldn't say that. I'm sure maybe people do want that.
I'm just saying that. It's a reminder that going into
this you had to realize or you should have realized
that some of this, as far as you're getting what
you want, you're going to need them to concede and
(17:11):
just do whatever you say. And this country, they've proven
that they don't really have things to lose like we do. Right, Like,
quite literally, when they say they're not afraid to die,
they have documented history as a culture and that's what
they do. They're not afraid to die. And that is
somebody that you really can't be surprised when they don't
fall in line. Right, We've had the first layer, second
(17:34):
layer of leadership that has now been wiped out. And
Trump tells us that this third wave, I think they
now see life a little bit differently because they told
you so. I mean, clearly what they're telling you at
the end of these conversations where you feel like it's peaceful,
they're even saying, yeah, now we close down straight chumps.
(17:54):
I mean, that's the way they're treating it. And now
we know there's a threat that if you do that,
there's going to be consequence. But and if you're in
the believe it I'll believe it when I see it, mindset,
I totally get it all right. Coming up next in
about five minutes, what I want to talk about is
the celebrity divorce that got a lot of attention last
week that now people are claiming it might have been
a publicity stunt. I don't really care enough to know,
(18:18):
but I'm still amazed by how many people are are
into and just completely consuming up this jelly Bean and
Bunny Role. I mean, I had that jelly roll in Bunny.
Bunny's her name, right, John, just Bunny. Yeah. Anyways, they're
getting divorced, and now people are claiming it's not real,
and uh, I've got I've got a thought here on
this whole situation. I'll share that with you coming up
(18:40):
here in just a few minutes. Stick around. I'm well
aware how how big no pun intended Jelly Role is
currently in, uh in whatever the genre is that he's
he's residing in, He's kind of he's country, but he's
also kind of I don't know something else. John, you're
the music expert of the show. How would you describe
his I mean, he gets country radio play, but like,
(19:01):
I don't know if i'd call it country.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
It's kind of a Southern rock sort of a style.
At least that was what he did at some point.
I know he did hip hop a long time ago
as well. That was, you know, before he was what
he is now. So he's very he's very much all
over the place and he's he's he's on top. I mean,
this guy has h has had a run that lasted
way longer than I know I expected, and so I'm
(19:23):
not surprised that, like he is as famous as he is,
but I did not expect to see America's heartbreak across
the country when it was announced last week that he
and his wife Bunny are getting a divorce, because like,
I know of her, and I knew she had a podcast,
but I just assumed like he was the famous star
and people just knew of her because he she was
(19:44):
always alongside. And let's be honest, the visual there will
stand out to you look at her, look at him.
So they had a bigger following than I realized. And
I think what I what I said last week is
is that I think that there's a relatability here that
really really connects people to the two of those not
because you can relate to him, you know, being a
(20:04):
convicted felon and a former drug dealer. Not everybody can
say that they've done that right. And maybe you aren't
a former mattress actress like she was a sex worker,
but you know she's got flaws. Her past is known,
same with him, and yet it doesn't define them and
it's part of their story. And people seem to like that, right,
the relatability as far as just being so famous yet being.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So real and flawed like everybody else. Nobody's perfect, we
all know that, but at times you can get caught
up in the fame that comes with these celebrities and
you know they look perfect. They seem perfect to you.
We all know they're not, but sometimes you lose sight
of that. That's why I think they were more popular
than I realized. But now there's some people claiming that
it was all a stunt, which I think the bigger
(20:46):
stunt would be like maybe they weren't ever actually a
couple and it was all a plan to where like
she utilized him, he utilized her. I mean again, that
to me is more likely than the other way around,
meaning that like this is a fake divorce. And now
what they're claiming is that they are going to they're
they're talking about it for the first time, and they're
(21:07):
going to be best friends. And now they claim that
they're divorcing, gonna be friends, and they still plan and
want to have a child together. And that's where you
kind of lost me, Like, who can relate to that?
I know everybody's lived different lives, but ten year marriage inseparable,
then you split up and just decide to stay friends
(21:28):
but also have a kid together. Like what I think
that tells you that they realize that even if they're
not gonna, you know, either remain as a couple or
remain this charade that they're really you know, which who
am I to say they're not really in love? But again,
let's be real. You don't often see those two together, right,
(21:49):
those types of individuals. I'm not passing judgment. I'm being real.
We can actually appearance doesn't matter. It does more so
for others, I'm sure. But that's the biggest lie, that
appearance doesn't matter and that you don't judge people. It's
human nature. You do quit lying to yourself. So I
don't know. I'd say it's more likely that they were
(22:10):
never really a thing and now they're going to publicly
not be a thing, but staying aligned together in some
former fashion is probably mutually beneficial because think about it,
when they you know, six months passes by and they're
com and let's just say they were completely separated, living
different lives. I mean, one one is going to end
(22:30):
up with way more popularity than the other as far
as just you know, who people pick. So again, I'm
still somewhat surprised by how many people knew of these
two because John, you like, it'd be impossible for somebody
not to know who Jelly Roll is, right, yeah, at this point,
But did you know much about his wife?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
I knew of her, but I've never followed along with
their relationship or whatever it is you want to call.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It me either, But apparently like everybody did. Like she
has this podcast that is uh, that is you know,
pretty raunchy. It sounds like, oh boy, but I guess
she talks a lot about their marriage and people feel like,
you know, they were America's couple. Do a lot more
people than I realized. And now they're breaking up, but
they're gonna have a kid. It's weird.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
It's weird.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah, I can't, I can't imagine, like how do you
just turn it off? Okay, we're going to continue to
live the same way, but we're not actually gonna be romantic.
Like last I checked, you got to be romantic if
you want to have a kid, right, Like, there's a
process that takes place in order to have a child
that I think would make it a little a little
difficult to move forward with the new arrangement of Hey,
we're just friends, but we're humping to you know, have
(23:37):
a kid. Like it's it's not normal. Speaking of not normal,
Tony Veannetti and Dwight wedd next year in news Radio
eight forty whas
That's right. It is Coffee and Company, and we are
fueled by Thornton's. You should be too. They've got what
you need to stay fueled for the day ahead, so
keep them in mind, whether it's on your way in
this morning or maybe for lunch. They've got plenty of
options when it comes to food, and I believe they
were a big factor in the new world we have
here with gas station and convenience store food. It's no
longer something you eat because you have to and there's
(00:21):
no other option. You seek it out because they've got
some really good options. And I know the Nashville Hot
Chicken pizza at Thornton's is the latest food item that
they've made available that is really popular. So again, we
are fueled by Thornton's. You should be too, because you
can save money at the pump if you become a
member of their Refreshment Awards program. You save money every
time you fill up, including a chance to save up
to twenty five cents off per gallon once per week.
(00:44):

If you need a distraction from you know, the real

you have no control over it, like the war we're
currently in. Look no further than what's going on with
(01:27):
the World Cup, as you have many countries experiencing American
culture for the first time because they're here to watch
their country on the pitch. They're here for the World Cup,
and I love seeing that they love certain things about
America and we kind of love that we love them
loving what we have, and then also just like having
(01:49):
a good time. I mean the fans from Ecuador in
New York City, I mean that looked like a party
that I want to be at. Right, and you can
just see with a language barrier probably in play with
a lot of these individuals, it doesn't matter. They're just
having a good time, enjoying each other's companies, celebrating the
World Cup, and it's it's awesome to see. I'm not
sure I knew how much we needed to see those
(02:11):
kind of things. Now, the one that has just seems
so natural, Like I don't know how they can can
can move forward together. But like the city of Boston
and Scotland the country, they belong as one. I mean,
like I think it started with just the ultimate respect
that Boston now has for people from Scotland because they
came and they drank all the booze, they drank them dry.
(02:32):
They had a real low supply of beer and even
some of the liquor. And then I don't know why
this is so awesome. But if you haven't seen, which
I can't show you of course this is radio, but
I can let you hear the street performer who has
a man from Scotland that shows up with his bagpipes
and it's a street performer slash bagpipe collaboration, and it's
(02:53):
it's a beautiful thing to see and hear, and I
didn't see the lead up to it, but as you
could expect, everybody's kind of gathering around as these two
(03:13):
are are are jamming together. But it almost looks like
the guy just showed up with his bagpipes, like, Hey,
we don't even need to talk. I'm just gonna jump
in here and we're gonna have a good time together.
It's really cool to see. And you've got you've got
drunk fans that are in Boston that live there, they're natives,
and they're doing these tearful interviews with TV stations talking
about how I'm gonna go with Goat Scotland next year,
(03:35):
and they're gonna go and like they're planning on linking
up on their side of the pond. It's really really
cool and things we take for granted that we're now
learning that like we probably shouldn't take for granted. This
is somebody documenting their experience in America and letting them
know about what we have here called air conditioning. This
is wild.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
They have the craziest thing here in America.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
So it's blazing HOI outside, well look at this.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I'm going to step into this establishment and it's chilly.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
It's hot outside, and but when you step in, it's
like a winter's day.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
It is a winter's day. That's that means the AC
is working. If it's hot outside and you step indoors
and it's and it's cold as a winter's day, that's
a good way to, uh to describe it. I never
take acs for granted because I know how much I
enjoy having it. When you don't have it, you'll learn to,
uh to really appreciate it. And then how about this
guy uh talking about some food he had in Texas.
(04:34):
He wanted to let the people back home know just
how much he enjoyed it. Now, this this clip comes
from somebody's TikTok, so you'll hear somebody set this up
in the beginning. But really good stuff right.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Now is absolutely Europeans experiencing America.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I just.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
For the first time in my life, better than any
moment in my life.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And I am married and have two kids.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
But in behind you that they have.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
He may live ross for Texas bisket.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
He'd give his left croisch hunt for a for a
Texas brisket. That's somebody from France who's letting letting it
be known that the best thing he's ever experienced in life,
including you know, he's got children and a wife, is
the Texas brisket that he had, so uh, I like
to see that. Uh. You know, there's a lot of
things they're enjoying, but a lot of it doesn't it
seem that they just really take advantage of we're a
(05:30):
fatty country. I mean, let's be real, like, if you're
gonna if somebody's got some some are if the ammunition
is already there for another country to make fun of us,
wouldn't they start with us being fat?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah? But here's the thing. They get it now, they know,
yeah fat, we have some of the best food that
ever existed, and they're getting a taste of it.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
That's true. You know, it is funny because some of
the some of the videos, like those I shared with you,
start off with look, I know what I said about
America before, or look I just I just wanted to
be known. We no longer can make fun of America
because you won't. They've got biscuits and great and that's
just one of the many food items that really I
don't think is that complicated. But they don't have a
lot of it, and I will say, I feel like
(06:07):
a really idiot not knowing this. I didn't know ranch
dressing was an American thing, only like you can get
it elsewhere in other countries, but it's like not the same.
And there are people here in America that what they
thought was ranch they're now realizing was a lie. Now
they know what real ranch is and it's a big
factor in why we're all fat because it's not healthy
for you, but man, it's delicious. So it's really been
(06:29):
cool to see. I had no expectation as far as
really anything when it comes to me experiencing the World Cup,
because I don't follow soccer and I probably never will.
But the concept of the overall tournament is really cool,
and when you're hosting it, that adds a whole new
way of you being able to enjoy it. But more
than anything, what I'm loving is to see all these
people from across the world that are here for the
(06:51):
first time and they're enjoying themselves, and you're seeing the
human side of America, which at times you don't see,
and they're just enjoying other just catching a vibe together.
It's really awesome. All Right, we'll talk about what happened
in Highlands over the weekend, Yes, you guessed it, more nonsense,
more arrests, and this time around two people got shot.
(07:12):
So it was another active weekend for this new task
force that LMPD has put together to monitor different areas
in Louisville that need monitoring when it comes to night life.
And the data tells you that this task force is
doing exactly what it was intended to do. They're still
out there with a bigger presence and they're arresting people
who break the law, and yet that hasn't stopped people
(07:35):
from showing up and wanting to still do the same
thing every weekend, specifically in the Highlands, where you have
fifteen arrests, including four juveniles juveniles, and also you had
two shootings. They were non fatal, but you went from
the same nonsense with fights in the streets, people getting arrested,
and now you throw in two people that were shot
and four guns, by the way, were seized. So I
(07:57):
don't look at this as a chance to pile on
the city or the task force itself, because again, if
you were somebody that thought this was just going to
change automatically, because there's a task force at play and
we weren't going to still have these issues. That's delusion.
This all starts with people deciding to behave responsibly and
be mature adults, although some of these people technically aren't adults. Right.
(08:19):
Four juveniles were arrested out between two and five am
on Saturday night. So now what we have is really
the same situation right. Not enough progress as far as
just it's stopping, but that progress is going to be
dependent upon people actually no longer leaving the house and
wanting to be out until the next morning. But now
(08:42):
we have some restaurant business owners, bar owners and citizens
that live in the area not really on the same
page because you're hearing from residents that want a curfew.
Right now, these bars stay up until four am, and
you've got folks that live in the area claiming that
that that can only help as far as just making
(09:03):
it to where instead of four am, they close at
two am. Because what's going on right now, it's just
a recipe for disaster, and that's what we're getting each
and every weekend. And when it comes to gunshots and
people getting shot, it actually got worse this weekend.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Whenever you have liquor, you have miners, mixing in with adults,
you're making an explosive cocktail. And that's what we just
saw last night.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
That was from my partners at wk WHY who talked
to one of those that live in the area. Now
the bar owners claim, well, hey, you know, we're not
the problem here. We're not at fault, and we actually
love that we can claim we're open till four o'clock
in the morning because that's what sets us apart from
other cities in the region when it comes to night life.
(09:47):
We let them stay out and get drunk later, We'll
allow them to stay out and in our establishment till
four o'clock in the morning. I don't know if that's
something you want to brag about. There might be a
reason other cities that are doing just fine, and in
many areas they're doing better than us, they're not looking
to stay open to a four am because they kind
(10:07):
of seem to understand you might get a crowd you
don't want if your pitch is, hey, come here, we're
open to a four am.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I don't know if anybody out here in the City
of Louisville really has that as the marketing message. But
still to push back that you want to stay open
till four, because it's what's That's not like there's a
reason other cities don't do that. There's a reason that
we are in an extremely rare situation here where you
can stay out that late. And look, not everybody who
(10:36):
wants to stay out late into the morning is going
to be out acting like a fool, but enough people
are to where it's become an issue that, regardless if
that's what you want, it is not sustainable for the
area itself in the Highlands. So again, two things to
keep in mind here. One, this only stops if people
(10:58):
stop acting like idiots and breaking the law in choosing
to be out late, getting in fights, getting drunk, shooting
each other like that. That's not anything a task force
can stop. But also a curfew closing these bars at
two instead of four can only help, And it also
might keep people from even wanting to come out that way,
(11:19):
because you know what, if they know they got to
go home at two, they might not show up at all.
Both people that were shot over the weekend that happened
between the two am hour and the five am hour,
all right, trafficking weather on the way. Also a news
update from John Shannon we actually have some developing news
when it comes to the latest with the Iran situation,
(11:42):
and we'll let you hear what jad Van said has
say this morning. Keep a lock right here. It's News
Radio eight forty whas it is eight thirty five here
on a Monday morning, and we've got a flash flood
warning until nine o'clock. As we've had plenty of rains
so far this morning, and if you look at the
forecast for the of the day, we could have some
more showers scattered really throughout the entirety of the day.
(12:05):
Now it looks like as we move forward into the
late afternoon into the evening, that'll go away. We're looking
at mostly cloudy skies. But yes, it's been a wet
day thus far, will continue to be that way. So
be advised again. Flash flood morning currently in Jefferson County
until nine o'clock. All right, So it might see if
you've been casually keeping up with the back and forth
(12:25):
between the United States and Iran, as we keep hearing
about a peace deal and the framework of a deal,
and there's a lot of optimism that had been shared
and things seem to be heading in the right direction
and anytime you think that, you realize that they've said, Okay,
now we're going to close down the straight and it
kind of feels like they're toying with us. They're kind
(12:48):
of trash talking a little bit. And that's exactly the
way jd. Vance described it this morning. He gave I
thought of just from what I've been able to gather,
this actually was I believe live when we were on
the air, but just looking at some of the takeaways
from it, I thought it was a pretty notable update
this morning, all things considered. And again the warning is
out there from Vance and Trump when it comes to
(13:10):
the Iranian negotiators talking trash.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Essentially, what we told the Iranians yesterday is when you
guys engage in what US millennials might call trash talk,
you can't expect the President of the United States not
to respond and not to correct the record. So when
they say things that aren't true, that president is going
to respond to it. I'm going to respond to it.
Americans are going to respond to it. When they make
threats that aren't rooted in reality, they have to accept
(13:37):
that the President of the United States is actually going
to set the record straight. That's all that happened. So, yes,
there was a little bit of threatening, there was a
little bit of whining, but at the end of the day,
the talks continued and we made great progress.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
So we've heard that before, right, we've made great progress.
What we haven't heard before is that they've actually taken
a step here or Iran has agreed to allow nuclear
inspections to take place. I mean, again, if you're somebody
that's in the well, I believe it when I see
(14:10):
it mindset, totally get it. I think you're justified in
that mindset. But this is really like the first actual
step in denuclearizing or permanently ending a nuclear weapons program
that they have. Here's Jadevan's talking about that b.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And this is probably what we're most excited about as Americans.
The Iranians have agreed to invite IAEA inspectors back into
their country. That is a major milestone for the American
people and the first step in permanently denuclearizing or permanently
ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran. And that's exactly
(14:47):
what we wanted to do. That's exactly what we asked
to happen. We made a lot of great progress on
other nuclear talks, and that leads me to the final
thing that we wanted to accomplish, which is actually set
up the process for the technical negotia that will follow.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So here's where we are. Uh that is that is
a legitimate, notable update as far as just conclusion and
the actual objective being able to be handled. You still
have to worry about at the end of the day,
like what are they going to actually do? And only
they can control that. But that is encouraging, no doubt.
But also I could appreciate the the comparing it to
(15:24):
just trash talk, because there's no doubt, there's there's obvious
evidence that then anytime there's a seemingly peaceful step forward
to get this resolved, we share that where you know,
Trump and Vance whoever, they share that with everybody, only
to then get the response from the Iranian side that oh, yeah, no,
screw that, they're just toying with us. Right. It's like
(15:45):
the it's like the kid in school who acts like
he like once again in fights, he's probably been beat
up a few times, but you know, he didn't quit,
so he feels tough, and uh, he doesn't really want
to challenge anybody whenever it's time to do that. But
then you know, once he gets to his third period,
he'll tell people, oh yeah, uh nah, we wanted to fight.
(16:07):
He'll he'll tell it his own way. But not only
is it clear that they're doing that now, we know
that there's going to be pushback. There's going to be consequences.
At least that's what they say. So encouraging, but again,
if you were somebody that is in the well, you know,
I'll believe it when I see it. I think I
think you're justified because we've kind of been in for
(16:28):
at least two and a half maybe three weeks now
in the same area essentially where the noise is that
it's getting better. In fact, we've even heard that it
was over and we won, and then you know we didn't,
which is a reminder that you need two sides to
actually play ball, unless you just you know, if you
can't get them to fully do what you know you
(16:50):
claim they need to do as far as honoring this agreement,
obliterating them maybe your only option. And I don't think
you want to do that. I don't think anybody wants that.
I shouldn't say that. I'm sure maybe people do want that.
I'm just saying that. It's a reminder that going into
this you had to realize or you should have realized
that some of this, as far as you're getting what
you want, you're going to need them to concede and
(17:11):
just do whatever you say. And this country, they've proven
that they don't really have things to lose like we do. Right, Like,
quite literally, when they say they're not afraid to die,
they have documented history as a culture and that's what
they do. They're not afraid to die. And that is
somebody that you really can't be surprised when they don't
fall in line. Right, We've had the first layer, second
(17:34):
layer of leadership that has now been wiped out. And
Trump tells us that this third wave, I think they
now see life a little bit differently because they told
you so. I mean, clearly what they're telling you at
the end of these conversations where you feel like it's peaceful,
they're even saying, yeah, now we close down straight chumps.
(17:54):
I mean, that's the way they're treating it. And now
we know there's a threat that if you do that,
there's going to be consequence. But and if you're in
the believe it I'll believe it when I see it, mindset,
I totally get it all right. Coming up next in
about five minutes, what I want to talk about is
the celebrity divorce that got a lot of attention last
week that now people are claiming it might have been
a publicity stunt. I don't really care enough to know,
(18:18):
but I'm still amazed by how many people are are
into and just completely consuming up this jelly Bean and
Bunny Role. I mean, I had that jelly roll in Bunny.
Bunny's her name, right, John, just Bunny. Yeah. Anyways, they're
getting divorced, and now people are claiming it's not real,
and uh, I've got I've got a thought here on
this whole situation. I'll share that with you coming up
(18:40):
here in just a few minutes. Stick around. I'm well
aware how how big no pun intended Jelly Role is
currently in, uh in whatever the genre is that he's
he's residing in, He's kind of he's country, but he's
also kind of I don't know something else. John, you're
the music expert of the show. How would you describe
his I mean, he gets country radio play, but like,
(19:01):
I don't know if i'd call it country.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
It's kind of a Southern rock sort of a style.
At least that was what he did at some point.
I know he did hip hop a long time ago
as well. That was, you know, before he was what
he is now. So he's very he's very much all
over the place and he's he's he's on top. I mean,
this guy has h has had a run that lasted
way longer than I know I expected, and so I'm
(19:23):
not surprised that, like he is as famous as he is,
but I did not expect to see America's heartbreak across
the country when it was announced last week that he
and his wife Bunny are getting a divorce, because like,
I know of her, and I knew she had a podcast,
but I just assumed like he was the famous star
and people just knew of her because he she was
(19:44):
always alongside. And let's be honest, the visual there will
stand out to you look at her, look at him.
So they had a bigger following than I realized. And
I think what I what I said last week is
is that I think that there's a relatability here that
really really connects people to the two of those not
because you can relate to him, you know, being a
(20:04):
convicted felon and a former drug dealer. Not everybody can
say that they've done that right. And maybe you aren't
a former mattress actress like she was a sex worker,
but you know she's got flaws. Her past is known,
same with him, and yet it doesn't define them and
it's part of their story. And people seem to like that, right,
the relatability as far as just being so famous yet being.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So real and flawed like everybody else. Nobody's perfect, we
all know that, but at times you can get caught
up in the fame that comes with these celebrities and
you know they look perfect. They seem perfect to you.
We all know they're not, but sometimes you lose sight
of that. That's why I think they were more popular
than I realized. But now there's some people claiming that
it was all a stunt, which I think the bigger
(20:46):
stunt would be like maybe they weren't ever actually a
couple and it was all a plan to where like
she utilized him, he utilized her. I mean again, that
to me is more likely than the other way around,
meaning that like this is a fake divorce. And now
what they're claiming is that they are going to they're
they're talking about it for the first time, and they're
(21:07):
going to be best friends. And now they claim that
they're divorcing, gonna be friends, and they still plan and
want to have a child together. And that's where you
kind of lost me, Like, who can relate to that?
I know everybody's lived different lives, but ten year marriage inseparable,
then you split up and just decide to stay friends
(21:28):
but also have a kid together. Like what I think
that tells you that they realize that even if they're
not gonna, you know, either remain as a couple or
remain this charade that they're really you know, which who
am I to say they're not really in love? But again,
let's be real. You don't often see those two together, right,
(21:49):
those types of individuals. I'm not passing judgment. I'm being real.
We can actually appearance doesn't matter. It does more so
for others, I'm sure. But that's the biggest lie, that
appearance doesn't matter and that you don't judge people. It's
human nature. You do quit lying to yourself. So I
don't know. I'd say it's more likely that they were
(22:10):
never really a thing and now they're going to publicly
not be a thing, but staying aligned together in some
former fashion is probably mutually beneficial because think about it,
when they you know, six months passes by and they're
com and let's just say they were completely separated, living
different lives. I mean, one one is going to end
(22:30):
up with way more popularity than the other as far
as just you know, who people pick. So again, I'm
still somewhat surprised by how many people knew of these
two because John, you like, it'd be impossible for somebody
not to know who Jelly Roll is, right, yeah, at this point,
But did you know much about his wife?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
I knew of her, but I've never followed along with
their relationship or whatever it is you want to call.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It me either, But apparently like everybody did. Like she
has this podcast that is uh, that is you know,
pretty raunchy. It sounds like, oh boy, but I guess
she talks a lot about their marriage and people feel like,
you know, they were America's couple. Do a lot more
people than I realized. And now they're breaking up, but
they're gonna have a kid. It's weird.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
It's weird.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah, I can't, I can't imagine, like how do you
just turn it off? Okay, we're going to continue to
live the same way, but we're not actually gonna be romantic.
Like last I checked, you got to be romantic if
you want to have a kid, right, Like, there's a
process that takes place in order to have a child
that I think would make it a little a little
difficult to move forward with the new arrangement of Hey,
we're just friends, but we're humping to you know, have
(23:37):
a kid. Like it's it's not normal. Speaking of not normal,
