Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's day three of the I sixty five shut down,
and I'd say after two days, I've got the rare
opportunity to being I told you so, guy, because of
the three things that I believe have been the most
noticeable impacts up to this point, two of them I
told you so. The can opener situation isn't something I
(00:22):
gave any thought, but that's probably the lead talking point
after we've gotten now two days in the books in
day three underway, as far as these semis that don't
realize they're rerouting because of the sixty five shutdown, but
they're ending up in a place they shouldn't be, and
they learn the hard way as the cab of their
eighteen wheeler just gets completely annihilated, as the can opener
(00:42):
here in Louisville remains remains undefeated. But the other two,
I mean, it's old Louisville dealing with not just a
lot more traffic, but the noise that comes from this project.
They're doing this around the clock because they got to
hit this window. They're not going home on the weekends
and not going home at five o'clock. They're working around
the clock, and that leads to middle of the day,
(01:03):
middle of the night, you're probably hearing that work being done,
and I'm sure it's annoying as hell, and if it
isn't yet, it probably will be soon. But also just
semis in general, they're ending up on streets that they
don't belong but they have to go because they they
got to get where they need to go somehow. Now
maybe some of these semis have learned. Okay, I now
know I need to just follow any interstate detour I can,
(01:27):
even if it adds extra time. Being in one of
these downtown streets and I saw firsthand not a can
opener situation, but I was able to see just a
semi that was trying to turn left off of like
Second Street to Oak Street. And I mean there was
nothing that I could tell you that the driver had
done wrong. It just cannot make that type of turn
(01:51):
in that tide of a space. So just seeing three
consecutive eighteen wheelers back to back to back act in
old Louisville, I mean, not only does it stand out
as unusual, they just take up a lot of space.
So I will say, on my way in this morning
on Second Street, as I'm making my way to downtown
(02:11):
here there was more police presence, and there was a
one of those portable pop ups that tells you how
fast you're going. And I realized when I was I'm
admitting I'm breaking the law here, John, when I was
making my way in, I didn't realize that I was
going like thirteen over the speed limit.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
So they, uh, oh, you're just giving the police permission
to watch out.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, I mean, look, if anything, I'm all about transparency, right.
So again that tells me that there was some need
for that because people who are using that street now
because they have to, like myself, don't realize that there
are areas that you need to really slow down because
the speed limit was twenty five where they had this
sign up. So again, we're continuing to to go through
(02:52):
the trial and error process and figuring out what makes
the most sense for everybody that's that's having to make
some adjustments. And the can opener sit situation, we had
someone earlier who made it quite clear they believe as
a truck driver that this falls directly on whoever's driving
a truck when it comes to just how you can
(03:13):
end up in a situation where you're one of the
latest victims of the can opener. Here's here's what that
listener had to say. And then I've got another listener
that says the opposite.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Look, I'm a truck driver, been doing it thirty years,
and I'm sorry, but if you're putting a semi under
an eleven foot eight inch brids, you are I mean,
there's no other way to say that. You're not paying attention.
That's on you. We got GPS, we got row sheets,
we got I mean, come on, you can't blame the
city for that one. That one's on the driver.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So another listener, and they didn't clarify if they were
a truck driver or not, but they think the opposite.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, but here's what people don't understand. You've got drivers
coming in from out of state who don't.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Know this city.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
They're following GPS, and their GPS is routing and right
into that thing because of the shutdown. And yeah, there
are signs, but twenty signs doesn't mean anything if they're
not in the right place at the right time. The
city knew the shutdown was coming, they had months to
figure this out. That's not on the driver. That's on them.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
With all due respect sir, isn't that what you say
when you're about to potentially disrespect somebody, it is no offense.
As I'm about to say something very offensive to you.
What are some other things that we give people a
heads up for? No, you know, no uh, no offense. Yeah, no,
no disrespect. But I'm about to potentially disrespect you. So, sir,
you're wrong. You're wrong because, first of all, it's not
(04:34):
the city's responsibility. It's the person driving the vehicle's responsibility
to know what it is they're driving, where it will
and won't fit.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That's like me driving like you see at an airport
a plane. Right, we're not going to be uh it's
got wheels on it, right, I can drive it. Just
driving down sixty five just you know, mowing over other vehicles.
And it's the city fault for not you know, making
it clear that I can't be I mean, like you
got to. It's it's a no brainer that it is
(05:05):
on the driver to know where they can and can't
go in the vehicle that they chose to get in
and drive. But Greenberg did say that they're going to
have more signage available, but he reiterated that point that hey,
it's on you as the driver to know and you
and I learned this week John that GPS. You know,
these truck drivers they can't just rely on Ways like
(05:26):
you and I can because Ways doesn't know what kind
of car I'm driving. So there's added, I guess, more
sophisticated GPS systems that are expensive for truck drivers. But man,
it's a it's a good investment because.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
More companies and maybe some do and we're just not
aware of it, but it sounds like, especially in these
first two days, that more of these truck driving companies
should invest in these expensive gpss. And I know you
know it can't be cheap to do that for an
entire fleet, but if it saves you from having to
repair a damaged semi, I feel like it would be
a pretty good investment if you ask me.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, you'll learn the hard way that it that it's
a valuable investment that you need to make. And I'm
curious if you are a truck driver, would love to
hear from you, not only your thoughts on the situation,
but if you have one of these sophisticated GPS systems
that help you navigate and not deal with this, is
it something you have to buy on your own? Do
you work for a company that gets it. Because to me,
there is no doubt that the victims in the can
(06:20):
opener situation up to this point, I think there are
six total. Now they they have no clue that they're
about to I mean again, it's got to scare the
crap out. What do you think is more scary the
sound as soon as they is they as soon as
the top of their cab hits that bridge, that overpass,
or the call they make to their boss to let
them know, Hey, yeah, sorry, but I bet it's the call. Yeah,
(06:45):
it'd be to especially if you don't own your truck, which.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I wonder how many people that are around the semis
that know they're about to go underneath the can opener
if they're just sitting in anticipation waiting for the thing
to just split open up top.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I'm a chicken by nature, I suppose, but I would
never risk it, Like I'll get out of my car
and look by and walk to the back of my
vehicle to see how much room I have before I
because even though I got that camera and I have
a sensor as well, Like I don't want to back
up and hit something, so I can't. I just think
there's got to be at least two of the victims
(07:19):
thus far that were floating down the road almost and
just had no clue and boom they found out. They
found out the hard way. So can we love to
hear from you on the talk back? Just click the
microphone button on the iHeart app and you can share
with us whatever it is you.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Want coming up next.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You know what it is when someone tells you something
that they believe that you know they don't believe. They're
insulting your intelligence. Jill Biden is doing that this week.
We'll get to it. It's next News Radio eight forty
whas former First Lady Jill Biden is promoting a White
House memoir view from the East Wing, and she continues
(07:52):
to say things that I don't believe that she believes.
And if she expects me and many others to believe
some of these things, she's insulting our intelligence. This was
really just an easily avoidable thing that got her mocked
by the internet. This was, I believe earlier this week
(08:13):
when she was discussing her husband's medical situation and she
went on to uh to say exactly to say this.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
And he'd given so much of himself and to see
you even saying like I thought he was having a
medical episode. I was concerned. Was there any part of
you that went into protection mode of like Joe, you
can't keep doing this like this is they're taking so
much for.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
The doctors told me he was fine. I'm not a doctor.
I mean I am a doctor. She's not claim she's
not a medical doctor. She does have a doctorate.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
So but again, you've got a brain, You're You're a
smart lady, at least I think you are. I would
assume you are. You would know more than anybody what
you're seeing. I mean if I was off and I was,
you know, maybe not knowing what planet I was on,
you know, who'd know right away? My wife so last week,
(09:10):
Dac like she never saw anything before the debates or
after the debates that was anything like what we saw
where he didn't know what planet he was on.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It's a lie.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You're insulting us by insinuating that you even believe that
that is true. She might really believe this, but I'm
calling bs.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I would never want to put our families to that again.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
But does he believe to this day that he would
have defeated Donald Trump in that election.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I believe he would have beaten Donald Trump in that election.
On what.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I mean, I guess it's like they still have the
delusion of like we don't even we're trotting this guy
out here, who again not sure he's even aware where
he is, what his name is, but we think he'd
win just because Trump's the worst. I mean, that was
really their plan, seemingly on the on the Democratic side,
And I mean it's almost unbelievable, especially now with AI
(10:06):
being such a threat to make something look real that
is not real. But like this was after Joe Biden
was being you know, moved around, helped around, because I mean,
he just he did not know what planet he was on.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question. Yeah, Joe,
he did such a good job. Just and in that
video he's just staring at her blankly, and there's a
there's a YouTube comment that says it's from the perspective
of Biden says, who is this lady and why is
she yelling at me?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I'm looking at him right now in this video that
I've hit pause, And that's that's the perfect perfect way.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
It looks like he doesn't know where he is.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
He's smiling, but this lady's yelling at him and he
doesn't know why.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Who is this person?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I mean, that's it's so to act like this wasn't
exactly what it was. And I just would appreciate it
if you stop insulting us, Jill Biden, I'd also appreciate
you guys support who supports us. That's Bob Siculer and
the Cecolar team. It's simpler dot real estate. They can
help you get into a new home, they can help
you get out of your home. And what they do
(11:18):
when they help you with those two things, not only
do they help you throughout every step, because there's a
lot that goes through the process. Because usually if you're
doing both, I'm sorry, if you're doing one, you're doing both.
And when it comes to your home, I don't think
you're gonna have to worry about is it going to sell?
Because in fact, if they don't sell it in fifty
nine days, the Cecolar team will buy it. Bob Siculer
will buy it directly from you. That should tell you
(11:39):
he's confident in what he can do for you, So
keep that in mind. But also they've got the expertise,
the technology, all the tools needed to present your home
in a way that somebody's going to see it and say, yep,
that's my dream home. I don't care what the market
tells me as far as timing. This is my dream
home and I'm going to put an offer in. They
have a great ability to do that. The five star,
(12:00):
the countless five star reviews, I should say, speak for themselves.
So again it's simpler about real estate. The Secolar team
go to we sell Louisville dot com. Again, it's we
sell Louisville dot com. You can actually even get a
quick look at what your house approximately appraises for. So
again we sell Louisle dot com. Bobsiculer's number is five
O two three seven six, five four eight three.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Game one of the.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
NBA Finals starts tonight. We'll talk about it next right
here at news Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Seven thirty five.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Here at news Radio eight forty whas, it is Coffee
and Company with you, Nick Coffee. That's me the company man,
John all On alongside. Today. It is June the third,
so that means a lot of high school seniors have
have ended their high school career. A lot of graduations
took place this past weekend. I'm sure there's not I'm
(12:46):
sure everybody's schedule is different depending on your school district
and all that kind of stuff. But this is the
time of the year where you hear about different senior
pranks that seniors across the country are pulling, and some
of them make the news for obvious reasons. Controversial, just
really clever and funny. And I do have some fomo
because senior pranks were a thing when I was growing up.
(13:06):
But my class, which was twenty years ago this year,
unless I just have a terrible memory, we did not
only do we not do one. I don't even think
anybody even like thought about it or talked about it.
But I know there were pranks that took place before
I graduated at my school and after, and some of
those are memorable. But I'm gonna give John, you were
(13:27):
in high school more recent than me. I'm gonna give
you some senior pranks, and you give me a grade. Okay,
you're gonna give us the report cards here for how
these seniors did as far as pulling off good pranks.
Were they good, they bad, really stupid? We'll let you decide.
So I'll start with the latest one that is getting
a lot of attention. So, fifty six seniors. They ended
up sneaking into their principal's house at five am. So
(13:51):
the principal woke up and they had loud music blaring
to wake him up, and then he walks out, I guess,
of his bedroom to see fifty six of those seniors there.
Now here's the kicker as to how this didn't end
up in criminal charges. His son is one of those seniors,
the principal son. So the son helped coordinate it, and
(14:13):
that's how they gagged the principle. Seemed pretty harmless, he
did say. His only complaint was that if they were
gonna do that, they should have at least brought in breakfast.
So what do you give it a to?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
F So I was thinking a until I found out
that the sun was involved. I figured out if they
were able to get in without any sort of other involvement,
I guess it would have been a criminal charge, like
you said, So maybe maybe from the illegality standpoint of it,
I shouldn't give it an a if it was that
if you had if you didn't have the sun involvement.
But I'll give it a B plus. How about that one.
I'm trying to find a middle ground.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I think that's fair. This one, I've seen multiple different
instances of it, and that is where a group will
hire a mariachi band to just follow the principle around
all day, anytime he walks out of his office, walks
out of a classroom. There they are to start playing
music and performing.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
What do you give it? I'm thinking more C plus
B minus because it's I mean, it's it's funny, but
it gets old after a while. I guess I fured
the principal. I'd be annoyed, but I think that's what
makes it kind of effective. Though at the same time, right,
you will annoy them.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
This is a funny prank, but it doesn't really have
anything to do with the school.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It was. The payof this is this is in Maryland.
Oh this is different.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I'm sorry, so seniors, they're taking credit for this prank.
But again, it's more so pranking your town than your school.
But they put up a fake coming Soon Trader Joe
sign on a vacant building, and it sounds like they
had somebody who could get a sign that made it
look very much real and people would think, I mean,
(15:42):
not enough people were able to shoot it down to
where the town for at least a week. It sounds
like thought that they had a legitimate trader Joe's coming
to this vacant building only to find out that there
was a QR code closer on the sign that if
you got close up you could take a picture and
it was Rickroll. It ended up taking you right to
like that Rickroll songs, so like that.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Again, that's good. That is good, But I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Has to it's maybe maybe it's a small town, right.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, try that in a small town anytime I hear
the phrase, it's where my brain goes. But I feel
like it would be funny if you had the coming
soon sign on the school, just to give it kind
of the you know.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Like that's that's a good tom May prank outside of
you know, we don't need like to me, that doesn't
have anything to do with a senior class, So I.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Guess, yeah, I got docket points for for not having
to do with the school itself, so we'll give it
a C straight up. Sea.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
So I mentioned I didn't have any We didn't have
any senior prank that I that I can think of,
and if we did, it must have been so lame that, like,
I have no memory of it. Did you guys when
you graduated, Was there a collective effort from everybody graduating
and say, hey, we got to pull off some kind
of funny prank.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Ye, there's a couple. There was one we were victims
of at Bullet East High School, Black and class of
twenty sixteen your school knows Bullet. They came and stole
our school goat and at the time we had an
agriculture class. I was never a part of it, but
they had a pet goat that they would take care of.
There was a cage or some sort of place where
it would stay in the back of the school, and
(17:04):
a group of students from I believe it was North
Bullet it was they came and took the goat and
put it in the back of somebody's pickup truck and
somebody eventually found out it was missing and realized it
was It was the North Bullet Eagles that were that
were doing two of them.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
This is the age difference between you and I at
that point when you were graduating, I already had friends
of mine that I grew up with that were already
teaching at North Bullet where I went to high school,
and I remember the talk of this prank, and I thought,
there's no way that's true.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Like there's no way, definitely an A plus PreK.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
And I know somebody who was teaching at the school
at the time and they're still there now that said, well,
we'll find out because they took it to the school
North Bullet, went to Bullet East and stole the goat
that was part of the agricultural department and took it
to North Bullet. So when people showed up, there was
a pet goat there. I don't know how they don't.
I don't know what went on after everybody realized what
(17:54):
had happened, But the goat was returned to Bulletese safe
and unharmed. And certainly there's a crime somewhere in that prank.
And maybe I'm showing some favoritism here, But that's a
good one, is it not.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
That's a really good one. I don't know if they
got in trouble. I hope they didn't, just because of
the uh, I don't know if you call it. I
guess it's you got to be creative to get the
goat away without being caught. So I'll definitely give them
an AA plus for that one.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
So not only did you pull off a pretty good prank,
you did it at your rival's expense, but also it
was still kind of harmless. Like I feel like the uh,
the the collective noise in Bullet County. After that prank
was made aware, for a lot of people, they were like, oh,
I gotta tip my CAP's that's.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Pretty well Bullet County prank for them to do as well.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
No doubt. And this is this is the best I
could think of as far as when I was in school.
This was a group that I believe was a year
ahead of me. There was a humongous pencil that was
I mean, it wasn't a real pencil, but it was.
It was outside in front of the school and uh,
it was only there for that year, but we're talking
about a pencil that was almost like as tall as
the actual building itself. And somehow overnight somebody was able
(18:57):
to get that thing off the ground. They put it
on the roof, and like that that was more impressive.
They were able to do it, but like I don't
really know how, Like what's the payoff there? Right, Like,
I don't really know what you really you ended up
getting out of that, but I'm curious. I'm sure many
of you listening participated in a senior prank and maybe
you learned, Hey, that was really stupid, or maybe you
feel like yours was pretty good. So we'd love to
(19:17):
hear from you. Hit the talk back. All you have
to do is click that microphone button and you'll be
good to go. You can share with us whatever you want.

All right, so we finally are going to get some
guardrails when it comes to AI. Probably should have had
this in place long ago. We'll get to the details next.
It's news ready to eight forty whas So, yesterday Trump
(19:40):
signed an executive order that lets the federal government get
a voluntary, up to thirty day early look at the
most powerful new AI models so they can be checked
for cyber and national security risks before they get released
to the public. It also tells agencies to build an
AI cyber security clearing house and use AI tools to make.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
It a little bit more. I guess.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
To where you've got a better ability to truly to
the full extent test the power of these things, and
with that power it can be dangerous. We've already learned
that the hard way when it comes to AI. There
are things that many of these tools can do that
we should not have had access to. We shouldn't have
been able to get our hands on it, because it's
inevitable that it's going to eliminate jobs. It's going to
(20:31):
eliminate careers that people went into crazy debt to get
a degree so they could do that job. That's inevitable.
But I think if you had some guardrails to where
it wasn't just anybody could get their hands on it,
it wouldn't. We would have a little bit of a
better ability to control just how how quickly a career
(20:54):
field can just be become extinct. So this is needed
not only for job loss situation and figuring out, okay,
looks like this job's in danger. What can we do
to make this less of a hit for the economy
and for society that a job that people had maybe
forever just doesn't there's no there's no there's no need
(21:16):
for it anymore. But also just the the content side
of it, I mean, the things that you can create.
I mean, we played earlier and we'll do it again later.
The AI song that is basically a dedication to the
to the can opener, and you could tell it's AI
because a lot of people have listened to AI music
right now. It's a it's a corny, hokey kind of thing,
(21:37):
but like the ability, the way even though we knew
it was AI. If you really think about it, imagine
telling somebody five years ago that that song was not
real at all, it was all robot created, Like nobody
believe you. But that's how fast this this has evolved.
And it's in its baby, it's infant stages right now.
So having you know, having the security component is is
(22:00):
certainly important. But I do hope that there's there's it's
not just about okay, let's let's double check to make
sure that we aren't vulnerable for security breach. Let's also
check and see if you know these tools are safe
to put in the hands of anybody, including pedophiles. When
I think back of the scare that that that that
(22:21):
that I had just realizing what a certain AI tool
can do to create child pornography, I mean, like I
still can't believe that's real. But it was GROC rolled
out AI tools that nobody had done enough checking to
realize that you can take a picture of a child
and tell Groc to make the child nude. I mean
anybody could do it. I mean they quickly took action
(22:42):
to make it not doable. But the fact that that
was just there and you learned on the fly that
that was like that was something that could happen is crazy.
So I think we learned the hard way. The only
thing you can do now is try to get a
better better control of it because it's here, it's not
going anywhere, but opening all these tools up for everybody
(23:03):
to just get their hands on and do what I mean,
It's led to some really cool stuff, no doubt. I'm
fascinated by a lot of it when it comes to AI.
But it's also it's also been dangerous. I think that's
quite clear. All Right. We got a sports update coming
up here in just a few minutes to make sure
you guys stick around for that. A load at eight
o'clock hour as well, we'll let you hear what listeners
are saying about the decision from Chief Paul Humphrey to
(23:24):
move swiftly and fire the officer who shot and killed
an unarmed band over the weekend. And we've got some
people sharing some senior prank stories which I love, so
stick around, don't go anywhere. It's news Radio eight forty
whas
It's day three of the I sixty five shut down,
and I'd say after two days, I've got the rare
opportunity to being I told you so, guy, because of
the three things that I believe have been the most
noticeable impacts up to this point, two of them I
told you so. The can opener situation isn't something I
(00:22):
gave any thought, but that's probably the lead talking point
after we've gotten now two days in the books in
day three underway, as far as these semis that don't
realize they're rerouting because of the sixty five shutdown, but
they're ending up in a place they shouldn't be, and
they learn the hard way as the cab of their
eighteen wheeler just gets completely annihilated, as the can opener
(00:42):
here in Louisville remains remains undefeated. But the other two,
I mean, it's old Louisville dealing with not just a
lot more traffic, but the noise that comes from this project.
They're doing this around the clock because they got to
hit this window. They're not going home on the weekends
and not going home at five o'clock. They're working around
the clock, and that leads to middle of the day,
(01:03):
middle of the night, you're probably hearing that work being done,
and I'm sure it's annoying as hell, and if it
isn't yet, it probably will be soon. But also just
semis in general, they're ending up on streets that they
don't belong but they have to go because they they
got to get where they need to go somehow. Now
maybe some of these semis have learned. Okay, I now
know I need to just follow any interstate detour I can,
(01:27):
even if it adds extra time. Being in one of
these downtown streets and I saw firsthand not a can
opener situation, but I was able to see just a
semi that was trying to turn left off of like
Second Street to Oak Street. And I mean there was
nothing that I could tell you that the driver had
done wrong. It just cannot make that type of turn
(01:51):
in that tide of a space. So just seeing three
consecutive eighteen wheelers back to back to back act in
old Louisville, I mean, not only does it stand out
as unusual, they just take up a lot of space.
So I will say, on my way in this morning
on Second Street, as I'm making my way to downtown
(02:11):
here there was more police presence, and there was a
one of those portable pop ups that tells you how
fast you're going. And I realized when I was I'm
admitting I'm breaking the law here, John, when I was
making my way in, I didn't realize that I was
going like thirteen over the speed limit.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
So they, uh, oh, you're just giving the police permission
to watch out.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, I mean, look, if anything, I'm all about transparency, right.
So again that tells me that there was some need
for that because people who are using that street now
because they have to, like myself, don't realize that there
are areas that you need to really slow down because
the speed limit was twenty five where they had this
sign up. So again, we're continuing to to go through
(02:52):
the trial and error process and figuring out what makes
the most sense for everybody that's that's having to make
some adjustments. And the can opener sit situation, we had
someone earlier who made it quite clear they believe as
a truck driver that this falls directly on whoever's driving
a truck when it comes to just how you can
(03:13):
end up in a situation where you're one of the
latest victims of the can opener. Here's here's what that
listener had to say. And then I've got another listener
that says the opposite.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Look, I'm a truck driver, been doing it thirty years,
and I'm sorry, but if you're putting a semi under
an eleven foot eight inch brids, you are I mean,
there's no other way to say that. You're not paying attention.
That's on you. We got GPS, we got row sheets,
we got I mean, come on, you can't blame the
city for that one. That one's on the driver.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So another listener, and they didn't clarify if they were
a truck driver or not, but they think the opposite.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, but here's what people don't understand. You've got drivers
coming in from out of state who don't.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Know this city.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
They're following GPS, and their GPS is routing and right
into that thing because of the shutdown. And yeah, there
are signs, but twenty signs doesn't mean anything if they're
not in the right place at the right time. The
city knew the shutdown was coming, they had months to
figure this out. That's not on the driver. That's on them.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
With all due respect sir, isn't that what you say
when you're about to potentially disrespect somebody, it is no offense.
As I'm about to say something very offensive to you.
What are some other things that we give people a
heads up for? No, you know, no uh, no offense. Yeah, no,
no disrespect. But I'm about to potentially disrespect you. So, sir,
you're wrong. You're wrong because, first of all, it's not
(04:34):
the city's responsibility. It's the person driving the vehicle's responsibility
to know what it is they're driving, where it will
and won't fit.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That's like me driving like you see at an airport
a plane. Right, we're not going to be uh it's
got wheels on it, right, I can drive it. Just
driving down sixty five just you know, mowing over other vehicles.
And it's the city fault for not you know, making
it clear that I can't be I mean, like you
got to. It's it's a no brainer that it is
(05:05):
on the driver to know where they can and can't
go in the vehicle that they chose to get in
and drive. But Greenberg did say that they're going to
have more signage available, but he reiterated that point that hey,
it's on you as the driver to know and you
and I learned this week John that GPS. You know,
these truck drivers they can't just rely on Ways like
(05:26):
you and I can because Ways doesn't know what kind
of car I'm driving. So there's added, I guess, more
sophisticated GPS systems that are expensive for truck drivers. But man,
it's a it's a good investment because.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
More companies and maybe some do and we're just not
aware of it, but it sounds like, especially in these
first two days, that more of these truck driving companies
should invest in these expensive gpss. And I know you
know it can't be cheap to do that for an
entire fleet, but if it saves you from having to
repair a damaged semi, I feel like it would be
a pretty good investment if you ask me.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, you'll learn the hard way that it that it's
a valuable investment that you need to make. And I'm
curious if you are a truck driver, would love to
hear from you, not only your thoughts on the situation,
but if you have one of these sophisticated GPS systems
that help you navigate and not deal with this, is
it something you have to buy on your own? Do
you work for a company that gets it. Because to me,
there is no doubt that the victims in the can
(06:20):
opener situation up to this point, I think there are
six total. Now they they have no clue that they're
about to I mean again, it's got to scare the
crap out. What do you think is more scary the
sound as soon as they is they as soon as
the top of their cab hits that bridge, that overpass,
or the call they make to their boss to let
them know, Hey, yeah, sorry, but I bet it's the call. Yeah,
(06:45):
it'd be to especially if you don't own your truck, which.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I wonder how many people that are around the semis
that know they're about to go underneath the can opener
if they're just sitting in anticipation waiting for the thing
to just split open up top.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I'm a chicken by nature, I suppose, but I would
never risk it, Like I'll get out of my car
and look by and walk to the back of my
vehicle to see how much room I have before I
because even though I got that camera and I have
a sensor as well, Like I don't want to back
up and hit something, so I can't. I just think
there's got to be at least two of the victims
(07:19):
thus far that were floating down the road almost and
just had no clue and boom they found out. They
found out the hard way. So can we love to
hear from you on the talk back? Just click the
microphone button on the iHeart app and you can share
with us whatever it is you.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Want coming up next.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You know what it is when someone tells you something
that they believe that you know they don't believe. They're
insulting your intelligence. Jill Biden is doing that this week.
We'll get to it. It's next News Radio eight forty
whas former First Lady Jill Biden is promoting a White
House memoir view from the East Wing, and she continues
(07:52):
to say things that I don't believe that she believes.
And if she expects me and many others to believe
some of these things, she's insulting our intelligence. This was
really just an easily avoidable thing that got her mocked
by the internet. This was, I believe earlier this week
(08:13):
when she was discussing her husband's medical situation and she
went on to uh to say exactly to say this.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
And he'd given so much of himself and to see
you even saying like I thought he was having a
medical episode. I was concerned. Was there any part of
you that went into protection mode of like Joe, you
can't keep doing this like this is they're taking so
much for.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
The doctors told me he was fine. I'm not a doctor.
I mean I am a doctor. She's not claim she's
not a medical doctor. She does have a doctorate.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
So but again, you've got a brain, You're You're a
smart lady, at least I think you are. I would
assume you are. You would know more than anybody what
you're seeing. I mean if I was off and I was,
you know, maybe not knowing what planet I was on,
you know, who'd know right away? My wife so last week,
(09:10):
Dac like she never saw anything before the debates or
after the debates that was anything like what we saw
where he didn't know what planet he was on.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It's a lie.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You're insulting us by insinuating that you even believe that
that is true. She might really believe this, but I'm
calling bs.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I would never want to put our families to that again.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
But does he believe to this day that he would
have defeated Donald Trump in that election.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I believe he would have beaten Donald Trump in that election.
On what.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I mean, I guess it's like they still have the
delusion of like we don't even we're trotting this guy
out here, who again not sure he's even aware where
he is, what his name is, but we think he'd
win just because Trump's the worst. I mean, that was
really their plan, seemingly on the on the Democratic side,
And I mean it's almost unbelievable, especially now with AI
(10:06):
being such a threat to make something look real that
is not real. But like this was after Joe Biden
was being you know, moved around, helped around, because I mean,
he just he did not know what planet he was on.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question. Yeah, Joe,
he did such a good job. Just and in that
video he's just staring at her blankly, and there's a
there's a YouTube comment that says it's from the perspective
of Biden says, who is this lady and why is
she yelling at me?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I'm looking at him right now in this video that
I've hit pause, And that's that's the perfect perfect way.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
It looks like he doesn't know where he is.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
He's smiling, but this lady's yelling at him and he
doesn't know why.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Who is this person?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I mean, that's it's so to act like this wasn't
exactly what it was. And I just would appreciate it
if you stop insulting us, Jill Biden, I'd also appreciate
you guys support who supports us. That's Bob Siculer and
the Cecolar team. It's simpler dot real estate. They can
help you get into a new home, they can help
you get out of your home. And what they do
(11:18):
when they help you with those two things, not only
do they help you throughout every step, because there's a
lot that goes through the process. Because usually if you're
doing both, I'm sorry, if you're doing one, you're doing both.
And when it comes to your home, I don't think
you're gonna have to worry about is it going to sell?
Because in fact, if they don't sell it in fifty
nine days, the Cecolar team will buy it. Bob Siculer
will buy it directly from you. That should tell you
(11:39):
he's confident in what he can do for you, So
keep that in mind. But also they've got the expertise,
the technology, all the tools needed to present your home
in a way that somebody's going to see it and say, yep,
that's my dream home. I don't care what the market
tells me as far as timing. This is my dream
home and I'm going to put an offer in. They
have a great ability to do that. The five star,
(12:00):
the countless five star reviews, I should say, speak for themselves.
So again it's simpler about real estate. The Secolar team
go to we sell Louisville dot com. Again, it's we
sell Louisville dot com. You can actually even get a
quick look at what your house approximately appraises for. So
again we sell Louisle dot com. Bobsiculer's number is five
O two three seven six, five four eight three.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Game one of the.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
NBA Finals starts tonight. We'll talk about it next right
here at news Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Seven thirty five.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Here at news Radio eight forty whas, it is Coffee
and Company with you, Nick Coffee. That's me the company man,
John all On alongside. Today. It is June the third,
so that means a lot of high school seniors have
have ended their high school career. A lot of graduations
took place this past weekend. I'm sure there's not I'm
(12:46):
sure everybody's schedule is different depending on your school district
and all that kind of stuff. But this is the
time of the year where you hear about different senior
pranks that seniors across the country are pulling, and some
of them make the news for obvious reasons. Controversial, just
really clever and funny. And I do have some fomo
because senior pranks were a thing when I was growing up.
(13:06):
But my class, which was twenty years ago this year,
unless I just have a terrible memory, we did not
only do we not do one. I don't even think
anybody even like thought about it or talked about it.
But I know there were pranks that took place before
I graduated at my school and after, and some of
those are memorable. But I'm gonna give John, you were
(13:27):
in high school more recent than me. I'm gonna give
you some senior pranks, and you give me a grade. Okay,
you're gonna give us the report cards here for how
these seniors did as far as pulling off good pranks.
Were they good, they bad, really stupid? We'll let you decide.
So I'll start with the latest one that is getting
a lot of attention. So, fifty six seniors. They ended
up sneaking into their principal's house at five am. So
(13:51):
the principal woke up and they had loud music blaring
to wake him up, and then he walks out, I guess,
of his bedroom to see fifty six of those seniors there.
Now here's the kicker as to how this didn't end
up in criminal charges. His son is one of those seniors,
the principal son. So the son helped coordinate it, and
(14:13):
that's how they gagged the principle. Seemed pretty harmless, he
did say. His only complaint was that if they were
gonna do that, they should have at least brought in breakfast.
So what do you give it a to?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
F So I was thinking a until I found out
that the sun was involved. I figured out if they
were able to get in without any sort of other involvement,
I guess it would have been a criminal charge, like
you said, So maybe maybe from the illegality standpoint of it,
I shouldn't give it an a if it was that
if you had if you didn't have the sun involvement.
But I'll give it a B plus. How about that one.
I'm trying to find a middle ground.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I think that's fair. This one, I've seen multiple different
instances of it, and that is where a group will
hire a mariachi band to just follow the principle around
all day, anytime he walks out of his office, walks
out of a classroom. There they are to start playing
music and performing.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
What do you give it? I'm thinking more C plus
B minus because it's I mean, it's it's funny, but
it gets old after a while. I guess I fured
the principal. I'd be annoyed, but I think that's what
makes it kind of effective. Though at the same time, right,
you will annoy them.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
This is a funny prank, but it doesn't really have
anything to do with the school.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It was. The payof this is this is in Maryland.
Oh this is different.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I'm sorry, so seniors, they're taking credit for this prank.
But again, it's more so pranking your town than your school.
But they put up a fake coming Soon Trader Joe
sign on a vacant building, and it sounds like they
had somebody who could get a sign that made it
look very much real and people would think, I mean,
(15:42):
not enough people were able to shoot it down to
where the town for at least a week. It sounds
like thought that they had a legitimate trader Joe's coming
to this vacant building only to find out that there
was a QR code closer on the sign that if
you got close up you could take a picture and
it was Rickroll. It ended up taking you right to
like that Rickroll songs, so like that.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Again, that's good. That is good, But I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Has to it's maybe maybe it's a small town, right.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, try that in a small town anytime I hear
the phrase, it's where my brain goes. But I feel
like it would be funny if you had the coming
soon sign on the school, just to give it kind
of the you know.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Like that's that's a good tom May prank outside of
you know, we don't need like to me, that doesn't
have anything to do with a senior class, So I.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Guess, yeah, I got docket points for for not having
to do with the school itself, so we'll give it
a C straight up. Sea.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
So I mentioned I didn't have any We didn't have
any senior prank that I that I can think of,
and if we did, it must have been so lame that, like,
I have no memory of it. Did you guys when
you graduated, Was there a collective effort from everybody graduating
and say, hey, we got to pull off some kind
of funny prank.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Ye, there's a couple. There was one we were victims
of at Bullet East High School, Black and class of
twenty sixteen your school knows Bullet. They came and stole
our school goat and at the time we had an
agriculture class. I was never a part of it, but
they had a pet goat that they would take care of.
There was a cage or some sort of place where
it would stay in the back of the school, and
(17:04):
a group of students from I believe it was North
Bullet it was they came and took the goat and
put it in the back of somebody's pickup truck and
somebody eventually found out it was missing and realized it
was It was the North Bullet Eagles that were that
were doing two of them.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
This is the age difference between you and I at
that point when you were graduating, I already had friends
of mine that I grew up with that were already
teaching at North Bullet where I went to high school,
and I remember the talk of this prank, and I thought,
there's no way that's true.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Like there's no way, definitely an A plus PreK.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
And I know somebody who was teaching at the school
at the time and they're still there now that said, well,
we'll find out because they took it to the school
North Bullet, went to Bullet East and stole the goat
that was part of the agricultural department and took it
to North Bullet. So when people showed up, there was
a pet goat there. I don't know how they don't.
I don't know what went on after everybody realized what
(17:54):
had happened, But the goat was returned to Bulletese safe
and unharmed. And certainly there's a crime somewhere in that prank.
And maybe I'm showing some favoritism here, But that's a
good one, is it not.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
That's a really good one. I don't know if they
got in trouble. I hope they didn't, just because of
the uh, I don't know if you call it. I
guess it's you got to be creative to get the
goat away without being caught. So I'll definitely give them
an AA plus for that one.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
So not only did you pull off a pretty good prank,
you did it at your rival's expense, but also it
was still kind of harmless. Like I feel like the uh,
the the collective noise in Bullet County. After that prank
was made aware, for a lot of people, they were like, oh,
I gotta tip my CAP's that's.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Pretty well Bullet County prank for them to do as well.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
No doubt. And this is this is the best I
could think of as far as when I was in school.
This was a group that I believe was a year
ahead of me. There was a humongous pencil that was
I mean, it wasn't a real pencil, but it was.
It was outside in front of the school and uh,
it was only there for that year, but we're talking
about a pencil that was almost like as tall as
the actual building itself. And somehow overnight somebody was able
(18:57):
to get that thing off the ground. They put it
on the roof, and like that that was more impressive.
They were able to do it, but like I don't
really know how, Like what's the payoff there? Right, Like,
I don't really know what you really you ended up
getting out of that, but I'm curious. I'm sure many
of you listening participated in a senior prank and maybe
you learned, Hey, that was really stupid, or maybe you
feel like yours was pretty good. So we'd love to
(19:17):
hear from you. Hit the talk back. All you have
to do is click that microphone button and you'll be
good to go. You can share with us whatever you want.

All right, so we finally are going to get some
guardrails when it comes to AI. Probably should have had
this in place long ago. We'll get to the details next.
It's news ready to eight forty whas So, yesterday Trump
(19:40):
signed an executive order that lets the federal government get
a voluntary, up to thirty day early look at the
most powerful new AI models so they can be checked
for cyber and national security risks before they get released
to the public. It also tells agencies to build an
AI cyber security clearing house and use AI tools to make.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
It a little bit more. I guess.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
To where you've got a better ability to truly to
the full extent test the power of these things, and
with that power it can be dangerous. We've already learned
that the hard way when it comes to AI. There
are things that many of these tools can do that
we should not have had access to. We shouldn't have
been able to get our hands on it, because it's
inevitable that it's going to eliminate jobs. It's going to
(20:31):
eliminate careers that people went into crazy debt to get
a degree so they could do that job. That's inevitable.
But I think if you had some guardrails to where
it wasn't just anybody could get their hands on it,
it wouldn't. We would have a little bit of a
better ability to control just how how quickly a career
(20:54):
field can just be become extinct. So this is needed
not only for job loss situation and figuring out, okay,
looks like this job's in danger. What can we do
to make this less of a hit for the economy
and for society that a job that people had maybe
forever just doesn't there's no there's no there's no need
(21:16):
for it anymore. But also just the the content side
of it, I mean, the things that you can create.
I mean, we played earlier and we'll do it again later.
The AI song that is basically a dedication to the
to the can opener, and you could tell it's AI
because a lot of people have listened to AI music
right now. It's a it's a corny, hokey kind of thing,
(21:37):
but like the ability, the way even though we knew
it was AI. If you really think about it, imagine
telling somebody five years ago that that song was not
real at all, it was all robot created, Like nobody
believe you. But that's how fast this this has evolved.
And it's in its baby, it's infant stages right now.
So having you know, having the security component is is
(22:00):
certainly important. But I do hope that there's there's it's
not just about okay, let's let's double check to make
sure that we aren't vulnerable for security breach. Let's also
check and see if you know these tools are safe
to put in the hands of anybody, including pedophiles. When
I think back of the scare that that that that
(22:21):
that I had just realizing what a certain AI tool
can do to create child pornography, I mean, like I
still can't believe that's real. But it was GROC rolled
out AI tools that nobody had done enough checking to
realize that you can take a picture of a child
and tell Groc to make the child nude. I mean
anybody could do it. I mean they quickly took action
(22:42):
to make it not doable. But the fact that that
was just there and you learned on the fly that
that was like that was something that could happen is crazy.
So I think we learned the hard way. The only
thing you can do now is try to get a
better better control of it because it's here, it's not
going anywhere, but opening all these tools up for everybody
(23:03):
to just get their hands on and do what I mean,
It's led to some really cool stuff, no doubt. I'm
fascinated by a lot of it when it comes to AI.
But it's also it's also been dangerous. I think that's
quite clear. All Right. We got a sports update coming
up here in just a few minutes to make sure
you guys stick around for that. A load at eight
o'clock hour as well, we'll let you hear what listeners
are saying about the decision from Chief Paul Humphrey to
(23:24):
move swiftly and fire the officer who shot and killed
an unarmed band over the weekend. And we've got some
people sharing some senior prank stories which I love, so
stick around, don't go anywhere. It's news Radio eight forty
