(KMN) 10.21: Lingering Effects - Hour 3

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So yesterday we talked about the bar here in Louisville
that has their liquor license suspended now after a weekend
shooting that injured two women. And the issue here is that,
in fact, the bar and restaurant itself, Double Deuces, didn't
report a shooting happening they I guess were I mean

(00:22):
the woman who went to the hospital four hours I
think it was after the shooting took place. That is,
whenever it became a known thing that hey, a shooting
happened here. So obviously you can't do that. And then
the allegation is that the victim was offered a VIP
card to the club in order to not report the
shooting to authorities. So those two things obviously will we'll

(00:45):
get you in trouble. But what I wanted to the
reason I wanted to bring this up again is because
Louisville Metro Alcoholic Beverage Center, I'm sorry, Control ABC. They
looks like they've got seventeen hundred license is throughout the
metro area as far as bars, and I do feel

(01:06):
like there have been there's been more more coverage of
licenses getting suspended, but it really isn't as much as
I believe so six have faced suspension in the past year.
And this is the latest, of course, the Double Deuce's Bar.
And this is by the way, from my partners over
at WKY. Misty Wright is the Louisville's executive director of

(01:26):
Community Safety. She says that these shutdowns are part of
a broader city strategy focused on prevention, intervention, and enforcement,
shutting down businesses that facilitate or promote criminal activity. So
a recent ABC public safety survey from the Highlands neighborhood
drew more than fourteen one hundred responsors. Keeping mind the Highlands,
we're dealing with this quite quite a bit in the

(01:47):
early part of the summer, and that led to some
of the restaurants and bars shutting down earlier than they
than they typically shut down, just to try to put
a stop to just becoming what it was becoming over there,
especially late into the evenings and early mornings on weekends.
But in that fourteen one hundred, yeah, fourty, you may

(02:08):
make sure I had the number right, fourteen hundred people responded.
Seventy nine percent said that there aren't too many businesses
selling alcohol over half set hours of operation or a
problem and support ending alcohol sales after two am. Brad
Silvieri of the Metro ABC said the goal isn't punishment
but safety, noting seventy five percent increase in enforcement actions
in the California neighborhood this year compared to twenty twenty four.

(02:29):
So if I was in that neighborhood and I was
dealing with it, I would and I'll never know, but
I would assume that would be my whole thing. It's like,
I'm not saying that I wouldn't feel like, hey, there
are way too many places around here that offer alcohol,
but having it being sold past two am would probably
be something that I would prefer, just assuming that that
could potentially keep me from having issues where I'm up

(02:52):
late all night because there's just so much going on
near my home. But when it comes to things that
can get you suspend and did shut down, I feel
like one of the most one of the most common
common ones has to be serving alcohol to minors. In fact,
I think one of the recent suspensions was was was
because of that might have been like their second time

(03:13):
doing it. But one thing that I that I rarely
ever think about, but man, it would be difficult is
serving intoxicated patrons, So Konsucky law prohibits serving someone who's
already visibly drunk. If a patron causes an accident after
being overserved, of course the bar can be held liable.
There's many stories, many stories of that, But that to

(03:33):
me is an impossible thing to know. It's fine, I mean,
I guess you know you have to make a judgment call.
But in a packed and crowded bar when the person's
order you're taking is like barely visible because they're reaching
around somebody to just to get your attention, I mean,
I think in a split second, I don't. I mean,

(03:54):
I don't think you would you would know. Now there
are people who like may not be able to stand
as they're ordering a drink. That could be that could
be the giveaway. But I feel like more often than not,
I could be completely hammered order and not need anymore
and order a drink at a bar, and I wouldn't

(04:15):
I mean, maybe I would be so out of it
that I wouldn't even notice that they're making observations about
the state of mind that I'm in. But I just
I think one that would be really really hard to
actually keep in mind every time you're serving a drink.
Is this person intoxicated? Are they pass their limit? But also,
like I know people don't do that, you know what
I mean, Like it's just I'm sure some do, but

(04:37):
i'd say more often than not, that's not that's not
followed as much as it probably should be. But also
I think another question is I mean, I think you
could make the You could find many people that say, look,
they're serving alcohol, but it's you that's responsible. And if
you got too drunk and didn't know when to quit,
look in the mirror, that's on you. I'm sure a
lot of people view it that way, and I totally understand,

(05:00):
all right, what I want to do coming up here
on the other side is all these open jobs in
college football. Some of them are really good. Some of
the jobs aren't even open yet that are really good.
And I think just got it. We've got ourselves an
off season of hirings being made in college football that
will stand out probably for a long time as far
as just the big name jobs out there. And look,

(05:22):
there's a lot more big name jobs, good jobs. And
I don't think there are that many obvious great coaches
to take these jobs. I mean, you never know, right,
We'll get to that next right here on news Ready
to wait forty whs. So last week it was Penn State,
and just a couple of days ago, I guess it
was Sunday, Florida they made the move firing their head coaches,

(05:44):
Billy Napier and James Franklin looking for work. I'm sure
James Franklin will find work if he wants. Billy Napier
probably will as well, just certainly not at the level
of Florida, where he was just let go after a
very underwhelming twenty two and twenty three stint, although he
did get fired after a win, which is rare but

(06:06):
still needed to happen. So the current power for jobs
open right now, you'll go Florida, Penn State, Arkansas, Oklahoma State, Virginia, Tech,
U c l A, and Stanford. And that is exactly
how CBS Sports has these ranked. So John, let's say Florida,

(06:27):
Penn State, and we'll throw Arkansas in there too. Why not,
because I think after that there's there's there's a gap.
But if all those jobs are offering you the same
exact salary, okay, and clearly all three are in a
situation to wear well, I guess Penn State's rare because
they were just in the playoff last year.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah, so true.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
You know they've had some sustained success. But of those three,
what is the most attractive to you? The human being?
Meaning you, You're not just going to think about, hey,
which team's been better, but like, which do you think
would fit you? Because that that's something that rarely ever gets.
It's mentioned about coaching searches and candidates is that it's
a job, and the lifestyle, the expectation. I mean, you

(07:08):
obviously want to make money and you want to win,
but there's other there's other factors that a lot of
people probably don't think about.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
If it's me and I'm a high level head coach
and it's one of those three jobs, I think I'm
taking Penn State and it's simply because I think it's
easier to win. And this is kind of taking a
shot at my own conference. I think it's easier to
win and have success in the Big Ten than it
is in the SEC. We've talked about the depth of
some of the middle tier teams. That's why you've kind
of seen Florida struggle. And yeah, you get the right

(07:35):
guy in the job. They'll figure it out and they'll
get back to the playoff and that sort of thing.
I just think it's much easier. I mean, you just
mentioned Penn State coming off their their semi final berth
nearly made it to the title game last year. But
the issue with James Franklin is he couldn't win the
big game. And maybe that's what I'm gonna do here, Nick,
I'm gonna go to Penn State and win the.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Big finally win those big games for him and get
him over the hump. Yeah, I think you know, Florida,
Florida would probably be.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
In this.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
And by the way, this is something that not that
I'm going to compare myself to these coaches, but this
is another part of it that did a lot of
Like for example, when Charlie Strong left for Texas, which
it's so true to I mean, looking back at is
crazy to think about how fans acted like, oh, yeah,
he won't go there. I mean, and look, it worked
out the way we thought it was. It was not

(08:24):
a good fit at all from the start, and that
job was too big for him and it just it
didn't work. But coaches don't think like that. They're competitors.
That's what's led to them being candidates and being in
a position to where they're offered these jobs. So no
coach ever really thinks, oh, well, I can't go there
because I won't win, you know what I mean. They
just in their mind there's no scenario they're not going
to win wherever they go, and that's how they're wired.

(08:46):
So I bring that up to say I would be
like a lot of these other coaches and not realize that, hey,
I could be really good at Florida, but Florida, I mean,
the expectations high. Now you could maybe benefit early on
from from just being better than Napier, right and being me. Look,
since since honestly, since they lost I guess it was
musch Champ. After his first few years, they've been they've

(09:08):
been pretty lousy, especially for a program that had really
high standards and had a phenomenal decade in the two thousands.
So you may be able to benefit from, you know,
winning at a high level, but not you know, not
eclipsing the Georgias of the world in the Alabamas, and
you still be a made man in your within your
fan base, but the expectations national championship at a place

(09:31):
like Florida, and I think they've got every resource you
would ever need when it comes to winning at the
highest level. But you could be elite great and just
know that the teams that your fans compare you to
they are also just as good with just as better
with with just as much resources. And oh, by the way,
they're not starting over like you are. Kirby Smart's had
it rolling for a while now, right, I mean, I

(09:53):
think Georgia and Florida. I mean, i'd say, if you're
a Florida fan and you think of your new head coach,
you want somebody that's going to put you to where
you're competitive with Florida. I'm sorry with Georgia and you
start getting the best of them, So I would probably
go with Florida. But I think the Penn State one
makes a lot of sense for what you said as
far as just knowing, Hey, life in the Big Ten
night in and night out is not as tough as
the SEC, although that is changing, wouldn't you agree? I mean, yeah,

(10:14):
we've talked about this too earlier this week. I feel
like the top of the Big Ten is better than
the top of the SEC right now, But it's that
middle ground where you kind of get things a little
bit different. I feel like the maybe teams four through
eight in the SEC are a little tougher than the
fourth rate and the Big ten, so to speak. Yeah,
And I think also it also depends on sort of

(10:35):
where you are as a coach, right, Like, if you've
got options to go to the three schools we just mentioned,
you would take all three of those SEC and Big
ten jobs overtaking a Big twelve job. But I think
Oklahoma State is a place that has resources where you
can win. And I think the Big twelve annually is
going to be for the taking. I don't think there's
any program there that's just going to be set up
to be a bully for years to come. So like,

(10:56):
if you're and he's going to get a bigger offer,
I'm sure, But like a John So, I'm all, for example,
put it this way, will Stein. If Will Stein, who's
the former Louisville quarterback who's now the OC at Oregon,
if he's not the guy for one of those big jobs,
heck he may sit around and wait because he can
do that. But I think Oklahoma State's a place where
he could tap in and rent win right away. And
maybe put himself in a position to get one of

(11:19):
the best jobs in the country after that. So interesting, Again,
I think there's way more that goes into this than
people think about. All right, let's get to a quick
time out. We've got traffic and weather updates on the way,
so stick with us right here on news Radio eight
forty WHS. Thank you very much, John at is seven
thirty four here at news Radio eight forty whas coffee
and company with you. And as he mentioned, we are

(11:41):
fueled by Thornton's. Thorntons has everything you need to get
yourself fueled for the day ahead. You need breakfast, they've
got good options if you need fuel, you know, for
your vehicle, obviously they can help you out there. And
if you're a member of their Refreshing Rewards program, you're
going to save money every time you're at the pump
every day. And then you've got also fuel savings potential
of twenty cents off per gallon once a week. So again,

(12:03):
if you're not a member of the Refreshing Awards program,
you should be. They've got something called the Frequency Club
where if you purchase something frequently, eventually it is free.
You get it Frequency Club. Very creative, very clever from
my friends over there at Thornton. So if you are
getting a certain drink or a certain candy bar, just
and you can, by the way, use the app, the
Refreshment Rewards app to see what is a part of

(12:25):
the Frequency Club. But if you get it every time
you stop in, you stop in a few times a week,
maybe every day, eventually you're going to be checking out
and you put in your phone number or you scan
your your Refreshing Awards card and boom, it's free. So
again we are feel about Thorton's and you should be too.
All right, it's a been a busy morning so far.
I will say, if you'd have told me that we

(12:45):
would be entering the third week of the government shut down,
I would have said that, all right, this has become
a real big issue to where it's just dominating the headlines.
It's all anybody's talking about. And I don't want to
act like it's not impacting folks, because I'm sure there
are people listening right now that have maybe had some
assistance that they're used to that's no longer there because

(13:07):
of the shutdowns. So I don't want to act like
it hasn't had any impact. Maybe you're somebody that's been
in a nightmare situation at an airport because of the shutdown,
So everybody's situation is different, but I would have expected
there to be more. I guess folks up in arms.
Maybe I'm not looking in the right place, But anyways,
it'll continue to be referenced because again it's a rare
thing that it happens, and there's a lot of lingering

(13:29):
effects when there's a government shutdown. But three weeks in
roughly and still up, still no seeming progress. To be
honest with you, all right, let's switch gears here. This
is something that I know many will have opinions on
from their experiences. But we've got an update that tells
us the fast food speed rankings John which fast food

(13:53):
restaurants in fact really emphasize fast food, meaning they get
it to you quick.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
I think there there's only one real answer for this,
and obviously this is not a you know, a sponsor,
but I think it's Chick fil A. I think even
if the line's long, you're in and out of there,
and I think it's ten minutes max. If it's crowded.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, and I take issue with this because I mean,
this doesn't even have Chick fil A listed as one
of the best, and I just think that that can't be.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
There's no way.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah, it's I mean, now they dominate when it comes
to friendliness overall satisfaction, but they don't do well in
the and now it could be that, like the line
is moving quickly, so there and you have great service,
and they're always telling you how much of a pleasure
it is. They love that word, pleasure, love. They love

(14:45):
the pleasure word. I think it's a requirement. You got
to have thirty instances of where you reference being pleasured.
And it's just it's really uncomfortable. But you know, again,
it's good service. But anyways, because of all the good
that comes with it, you don't realize that you do,
in fact, wait longer than you do. I mean I

(15:06):
would have expected. I mean, look, I think you could
take the overall process of the Chick fil A drive
through and whoever put that together streamlined it, have them
implement new systems and processes throughout our country, right, Like,
how about how about we send the guy or gal
over who's responsible for Chick fil A executing the drive
through flawlessly let's have them take over TSA at the airport.

(15:28):
Speed that up a little bit. I mean, again, there's
no reason for certain things to be as slow as
it is in Chick fil A. I mean, you could
have a you could have a drive through a line
six miles long. People aren't intimidated by that. They're gonna
wait because they like the food and they know that
they're going to get good service. And it likely will
be because again, your mind tells you when you see
that line that it's going to be a little bit

(15:50):
of a wait. So therefore, Chick fil A so consistently
setting the standard, you know.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Drive through efficiency speed.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, exactly, So the efficiency of it makes it to
where you're you know, you're you're not bothered by the
long line. So the Taco Bell, by the way, claims
the fastest.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
That surprises me big time.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, but inn't this just a reminder also how many
locations there are and everybody's everybody's perception is going to
be based off of what happens at the one they
go to. I will say the Taco Bell that I
go to it, I think it had a change of
staff management within the last few years, and it is
insanely fast. I mean, if there's nobody in line or
one car ahead of me, I don't even know how

(16:34):
they were able to get the food in the bag
as quickly quickly as they did. But also I think
Taco Bell, when people seem to want it, it's at
peak times, and their their weight is because I think
they just typically I mean honestly two things. One, usually
the line is really long. If the line's not very
long at Taco Bell, I feel like I don't wait
that long. But oftentimes the line is very long, and

(16:55):
people seem to order a lot of menu items, which
again just adds to the overall the overall time. KFC,
which I had not had KFC in no joke, maybe
ten years, and I had it recently John and I
got to say, I need to put more respect on
the colonel's name.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
It hits my wife and I got a bucket of
chicken this past weekend from KFC.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Oh, I had the original recipe chicken from KFC that slaps,
oh my god, it's so good. And I'm sitting here thinking,
like you know, I'm reacting as I'm as I'm just
inhaling it to my wife like like it's some new
place we've never heard of. We got to check this
place out more often. I mean KFC, it's a staple,
It's Kentucky Fried Chicken. We just never think of it
when it comes to eating fast food. We don't eat

(17:36):
fast food a whole lot. But I'm going to go
back and see the Colonel sooner rather than later, because
it had been too long. I forgot how good he is.
I mean KFC good stuff all right. Rby's and Wendy's
round out. I think those two places no offense the draft.
It's pretty quick there because there's never anybody there, I
mean especially Arby's.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Y's has its moments sometimes.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Look I like our but I don't like fast food
where I have to, you know, take out a loan
to get a meal. And also it's just you know,
I don't know, it just doesn't. When I have it,
it's good, but I never crave it and seek it
out right.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
I'd tell Arby's has some of the best fast food
mozzarella sticks though.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
I actually think that's the best thing on their menu,
and I like the beef and cheddar as well. You're right,
it's a hidden gym when it comes to I'm really hungry.
I didn't want to do I should have done this.
It's only seven o'clock. I'm almost eight o'clock. I'm hungry.
All right. We've got traffic weather updates on the way,
so stick around. Where else would you go? Don't answer
that you have nowhere else to be but here with
us at news Radio eight forty Whas it is seven

(18:37):
forty seven, here at news Radio eight forty whas. I
was expecting it to be cooler this morning whenever I
headed out, and I wasn't necessarily wanting it to be cool.
But fifty eight that's certainly not warm. But it sounds
like in the evenings this week and early mornings as well,
we could see some real chili temperatures to where if
you haven't felt it yet as far as the fall

(18:58):
season being here, you certainly will a little later this week.
Right now, fifty eight degrees and looks like we've got
some good weather the rest of the week. However, rain
could be returning once again for the weekend, so just
keep that in mind. Never I mean, if it's going
to rain, I'd rather do it. I'd rather it happened
during the week, not on the weekend. Whenever there's things
you could be out doing, especially this season in the fall,

(19:19):
whether it be pumpkin patches, Halloween events, all that kind
of stuff. All right, right now, you may have noticed
homes tend to be sitting on the market a little
bit longer, right inventory rising. In today's real estate market,
it's more competitive than ever. That's where the right real
estate agent makes all the difference right here in the

(19:39):
Louisville area. And I'm telling you there's nobody better than
my good friend Bob's secoler and the secolar team at
Remax Properties East. Bob's job is to make your property
stand out from all the others out there, which is
hard to do. But when you're an expert and you've
done it as long as Bob has you know what
you're doing, you stand out. He stands out in what
he does, and he'll make your home stand out compared
to the other home out there on the market. The

(20:01):
Cicolder team makes sure buyers don't just see your home.
More importantly, they'll remember it because the truth is pricing, presentation, marketing.
They mean everything in the environment. And again, nobody knows
it better than Bob's Socicoler and its team. He'll give
you the expert guidance you'll need to price strategically and
attract serious offers even when the market feels crowded. In
real estate, there's no such thing as perfect timing. The

(20:23):
reality is the right time to sell is the right
time for you. Don't let your properties sit while others sell.
Don't let the market, don't let the coverage of the
market and the interest rates put fear into you to
where you don't take advantage of what your home could
be worth, or maybe getting a home that you know
is your dream home. Google the circolo team that says okay,
oler or visit. We sell Louisville dot com. Again, we

(20:45):
sell louisll dot com. Let Bob and his team get
your squared away throughout this process. We sell loiver dot com.
Check them out, Tell them I sent you all right.
We've got a lot more to come and hope you
stick with us. We've got traffic and weather updates on
the way. We'll get another sports update and keep this
thing rolling along. On a Tuesday morning right here on

(21:06):
