When you find yourself in a situation caused by a

you when it comes to holding those accountable that of
course cause this mess that you're in. And I can

(01:04):
com check them out online today. All right, So the
government shut down, we're now at day two and thirty
five days. That was the last time there was a
government shut down. That's how long it lasted. Eventually, there
was a bipartisan bill that was signed to reopen the
government from Trump and that ended again the longest shutdown
in US history. As far as how long this one lasts,

(01:24):
your guests is as good as mine. But I do
think if you're somebody that is impacted already, I'm sure
you know you're you're hopeful that it's sooner rather than
later when it gets for to get figured out, and
there's really nothing you can do. It's out of your
control as far as just knowing, hey, this is part
of it. If I've got a job that that is,

(01:45):
you know, my paycheck is dependent upon the US government
when it shuts down. You know, this is the kind
of thing that can happen. But really, when you get
to payday, the next payday, which I imagine was probably it's
probably going to be middle of the month. I could
be wrong about that, but that's whenever it becomes more
real because yes, you did work, and you you know yet,

(02:05):
but yet the pay is not there. It'll eventually be there,
and that's that's better than the other way around, right,
That's better than never never getting paid for the time
you're working, which just isn't like people wouldn't do that obviously,
But I just think back to that time in twenty eighteen,
twenty nineteen, clearly the cost of living was a little
bit different. I mean, in fact, that's the exact timeline

(02:27):
of where we where we looked at last week. Is
the drastic difference in grocery prices, how it is, you know,
it's skyrocketed since that exact time. So I'm sure many
at that time we're living check to check to an extent,
and maybe now it's more of an urgency to make
sure they get that paycheck when they get it to
help make ends meet. So again, you you've clearly got
some protection when it comes to your landlord, creditors, that

(02:51):
kind of stuff. But to me, it would be more
of a mental thing, right, Like, even though at this
point I haven't actually missed a paycheck just yet, it
would just would weigh on my mind that this is
going to linger longer than it should and it could
be two paychecks. So again, the last time this happened
was in twenty eighteen nineteen, and at that time, of course,

(03:12):
Mitch McConnell was in a different position that he's in now,
but he was GOP Senate leader, and at that time
he seemingly had more power, I guess, to shape negotiations here.
And there was a lot of pushback from those that
worked at the state level. There were corrections workers at
the five different federal at the five different federal prisons
here in Kentucky that were not only working unpaid, but
working under mandatory shifts to where you know, they were

(03:33):
required to be there, and they went a while without
this getting cleared up. Therefore, they took action by putting
up billboards across the state demanding McConnell to quote in
the shut down. Now, you also had Rep. Johnny Armyth
stepping in to try to basically say, hey, McConnell, get

(03:54):
it done. So there are so many people I'm sure
that in their day to day, yes they have a
government job. Yes they they rely on the federal funding
to of course give them a paycheck, but they don't
they don't really get into Like I'm sure there's many
people that don't really follow any of this kind of
stuff until, of course it impacts them, which again that's
understandable a lot of people. Some people call it, you know,

(04:15):
getting lost in your own world, being in your own bubble,
and I guess that's that's that's that's not an inaccurate
way to frame it. But also like that's kind of
what you're supposed to do, right, live your life, worry
about your responsibilities, your priorities, your job, your kids, your family,
that kind of stuff, your livelihood. That's you know, that's
part of being a grown up. So I'm sure more
paying attention to it now than usual, because again, if

(04:36):
it's your if it's your job that depends upon it,
rather be you working and just knowing that until they
get it figured out, you won't get a paycheck. Or
maybe you're you're furloughed, and you know that could be
a scary situation. Maybe a furlough ends up in the
realization that your your job wasn't as necessary as maybe
they previously thought. So there's a lot of layers to
this and a lot of different impact levels. But so far,

(04:58):
these first couple of days, I'd say that many have
yet to truly feel any effect. And here's the hope
and they get it worked out sooner rather than later.
All Right, we've got a traffic and weather update coming
your way. We'll talk more about the government shut down
around eight thirty five. Rory on Neil of NBC News
is set to join us, So stick around, don't go anywhere.
It's coffee and company. Phil about Thornton's on News Radio
eight forty whas a story right out of here in

(05:23):
our backyard. Louisville, Kentucky is now making national news. It's
it's not for good reason, and it's not like it's
leading the country when it comes to nationwide news. But
there was a woman who was arrested. Her name is
Brianna Haynes. She was arrested here in Louisville, and this
took place a while ago, but I guess we're just

(05:44):
now learning of the specific details. But this Louisville woman
is facing some serious charges after she allegedly lost her
temper at a Little Caesar's here in town over the
cost of extra dipping sauce. Yes, this was something you
heard yesterday in John Shannon's Many News up, and now
it's made its way to the New York Daily News
and of course other outlets that pick up stories like this.

(06:08):
They're picking this one up, and I get it, totally,
totally get it. But yeah, of all things to lose
your mind over and get yourself arrested, it was the
cost of extra sauce. One dollar is what they charged
for sauce at Little Caesars. And that anger and rage
from this Louisville woman led to one thousand dollars in
damage at this Little caesar So. Yes, according to Corty documents,

(06:31):
Brianna Hayes placed an order over the phone and then
went to the store to pick it up. When she
asked for extra sauce with her order, and employee said
it would cost a dollar, police said the woman then
quote said or the woman created a disturbance in the store,
that's from the police report, and then began knocking things
off the counter, including a custom made computer stand in
the computer register, which totaled over one thousand dollars in damages.

(06:53):
She left the store, but employees were able to provide
Louisville police with her name after comparing video surveillance with
an own picture. She was charged with criminal mischief, but
wasn't arrested until another incident earlier or sorry late last month.
In September so, according to court documents, she allegedly threw
a brick at the father of her child's car because
he wanted to move back to Cincinnati. Police said this

(07:14):
caused more than a thousand dollars worth of damage. Haines
was charged with AsSalt in criminal mischief. So I'd say
this individual has an anger problem. I mean, you're causing
one thousand dollars worth of damage at a little Caesar's
over a one dollar charge for sauce extra sauce that is.
And then also your child's father wants to make the
move and you decide, well, let's just throw a brick

(07:35):
at him. Yes, so anger management may be needed for
this woman. And if you are, if you're her, and
you did this in January and you got away with
it for this long, you probably thought you were in
the clear. Right We're talking about nine months ago and
I'm also curious. I wonder what other I mean, she
ended up getting herself in trouble for being a lunatic
once again, and then I'm sure she probably had a

(07:57):
warn out for her arrest, and this was the opportunity
for them to take her to jail and hold her
accountable not only for the most recent crime but also
the one that she committed at Little Caesars long ago,
in between September twenty second and January. I wonder how
many other incidents this woman was involved in, and I
mean over extra saw. I mean, there's got to be

(08:18):
more to it, right, I guess not though, I mean,
it's just a dollar. And in fact, if you were
going to create a I guess if you were an employee,
you don't want to let somebody's awful behavior work, meaning
they could act like a lunatic and get their way
and not have to pay. I mean, you're not supposed
to do that, I'm sure as an employee of the

(08:39):
Little Caesars. But man, some of the there's a lot
of talk, understandably so, about how poor customer service can
be at fast food restaurants. Right now, there's never been
more of a clear do not give a flying rats
behind about anything from some of the people who work
fast food. But I also kind of get it whenever
I do. On the rare case, you can end up

(09:00):
inside a fast food restaurant and see how customers behave
and act. And I'm sorry. If somebody's going to start
breaking stuff potentially causing harm or injury to me, I'll
give him an extra sauce just to get them the
hell out of there. All right, let's get to a
quick travicking weather up day. We've also got another sports
update coming your way. Roory O'Neal of NBC News going

(09:20):
to join us around eight thirty five to talk a
little more about this government shutdown. So stick around right
here on news Radio eight forty. Whas been singing along here, Well,
help help if I turn my microphone on. I'm so
distracted about the great soundtrack that the company man himself,
mister John Alden, has blessed us with today. I asked
you earlier, did it shift any real attention to detail

(09:43):
because you told me you didn't really have a plan.
You were just, you know, you were just DJ John
on the ones and twos.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
It doesn't typically have a direction, but the last hour
has been a little more oldie stuff.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, that's good stuff.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
I've been singing along, good stuff.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
What I want to know is, at what point in
your marriage and we all get there husbands, and I
don't know if it's a Kentucky thing or a South thing. Well,
I don't care what part of town it is. I was.
I heard you on the phone with your family and
at one point you went woman. And I started laughing
because I've done that a million times, when when the

(10:17):
conversation has gotten too out of control, the man that's
not talking has to go woman, wake up. You listen
to that, and that puts everybody on points. I commend
you for that, but I think every I think all
of us do it. It may be some guys driving
around now going off. Never said that to my wife.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
I would never.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
I would never say that. But I think at some point,
I don't know, how long do you have to be
married for you start throwing out though woman, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
I mean I don't know yet.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
I've been married almost twenty four years.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
I don't know yet.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
I do it with my daughter too.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
By the way, I so tony thought I was talking
to my wife, But my wife she's on she's taken
my daughter to her She goes to a certain program
on Thursdays, and.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
You talked her every day on that time, right, So.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
She she sent me, so we did the FaceTime just
so I could see her before she heads off. And
I'm picking her up today and she was distracted by
I guess what was out on the road and not
really looking and I said, woman, look at me, and
she maya knew I was talking to her.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
I was talking to my wife, But do you know
anything about it? It's just like, hey, focus, it wakes up.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, that's exactly right.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Or with me, it's we're getting into the weeds, like
I'm not paying attention to any of.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
This woman, What is the what what do they say
to us?

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Idiot?

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, hey Jake a dufus They say.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Something and I always look at him like that's the
heck of a way to start a conversation, Hey, radio boy.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, if I'm not paying attention, and I'm just kind of,
you know, looking like I'm paying attention or making it
appear that I'm interested in what she's talking about. What
my wife does that really gets my attention? And she's say, well,
then the house burned down. Yeah, and that'll make me think, Okay,
what wait what now?

Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah. So there's been plenty of comedians that have said it,
but when she asked, what do you think, they can't.
They can't conceive the fact that we're we're not thinking
about anything.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, it's just existing.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
We're actually we're actually really easy to figure out. You're thinking, yeah, nothing, nothing.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
We are in a nothing box.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
We're just sitting there in a nothing box thinking about
happy simple.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
And I'm I'm when you've been married as long as
I have, and I sound like I've been married for
eighty years, but I have been married fourteen going on
fifteen years, and we've been together our whole lives. Essentially,
there's no you know, we're going to lay it all
out talk about it. But occasionally she'll still try to
act like she can be passive aggressive, what's wrong? Nothing stops,

(12:37):
and you can just tell like, okay, when did you
when did you turn into a to a twelve year
old a twelve year old brad, Like, clearly, something is wrong,
what's bothering? You tell me? And then and you know,
I'll try to get it out of it. And then
I realized she doesn't even really know. She's just she's
just in a bad mood. So then I leave her
alone or the other word, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Yeah, I know. But the thing that you get to
have to learn if you have two strong personalities, you
have on definitely we have one, I'm sure, John Dosto,
I'm married to. I married her because she was a
strong willed, opinionated woman. But when you get to that
point when you have an argument that is now, you know,
come to a certain point in the beginning of the relationships,

(13:15):
you let it. Sometimes you let it ruin the entire day,
like the you know, and then you figure out once
you get to a certain age, you're just like, we're
not going to let this stupid fight ruin the rest
of the Saturday or Sunday.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Right, I've learned that this maybe it's just me as
a human and I can't I shouldn't be blaming it
on what we do. But I'm I'm the one who
most more often than not as being a little you
know what about things. And then you know, it takes
me not a whole day, but half a day for
me to realize, you know what, like I'm being ridiculous.
Why am I bothered by.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
This because you know what you look like? Pouting?

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Oh yeah, absolutely all pouting. I wish I could say
that I'm not, but I times will get my pout
on and then it'll it'll be it'll be my five
year old son that'll be like, Dad, what's wrong with you?
And I'm like, you're right, I'm being a little you
know what.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
I'm over here taking notes from you too, because of
someone who is on marriage number I.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
I didn't figure this stuff out yet.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
It's and John, you have no opinion because you're in
such chaos with a newborn. It does. Yeah, it's just
moving to the next thing.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
I like that though, because it kind of makes it
feel like everything is on rails, right, derailed the moment.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, yeah, I cannot believe. So how old is Daisy now?

Speaker 2 (14:28):
She'll be six months in away.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
So she's sitting up, she's not She's.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Rolling over from back to belly and belly to back
and she honestly, I know you're supposed to sit up
before you crawl, but she's she's starting. She's trying to
inch yourself very.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Strang everybody's different, and she's just at the age where
you gotta because the early early stages, they're not a
whole lot they can do as far as putting themselves
in harm's way. Once they get moving, you gotta be all,
you got.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
A safety proof of the house, all that stuff, but yeah, yeah,
if you have an alarm system and the thing goes
off every time you open the door, like back door
open when they started to walk, you'll you'll be in
the living room or kitchen doing something. You hear back
door open. You're like, hey, who was that one got out?

Speaker 1 (15:11):
And that that's a scary moment to go back to
because we've had some we had some scares, but it
also makes me miss it. My kids are growing up
too fast. So John, enjoy it, enjoy I enjoy the
early stages with young Daisy. All Right, we're out of here,
Tony and Dwight are coming your way right here. On
