Speaker 1 (00:00):
So authorities saying they stopped a possible mass shooting from
taking place at the Atlanta Airport. That's great to hear
that those in position were able to pick up on
some things and clearly determine somebody was a threat. As
you heard in the story there, Billy Kagile arrested after
officers found an AR fifteen rifle with twenty seven rounds
(00:21):
of ammunition and his truck parked outside the airport. I
guess there's no way to know of certainly what would
have happened had nobody noticed him and made the arrest.
But clearly, when you've got an AR fifteen rifle with
twenty seven rounds of ammunition, who knows what your motives are.
But his family called the police in Cartersville, Georgia, which
(00:45):
is northwest of Atlanta, saying he was live streaming his
plans on social media and headed to the airport to
shoot it up. So he clearly had stated he was
going to do it, and you can't do that without
expecting someone to take you very serious and preventce you
at all costs from from doing anything. It's fact in fact,
I mean, it's it's a miracle that he's alive. I
(01:06):
mean again, it sounds like they were able to apprehend
him really without issue once they located him. But still,
I mean, when you when you when someone igain, if
you tell me, hey, here's the developing situation. Authorities are
on their way to stop a guy who's live streaming
that he's about to shoot up the airport, I would
(01:27):
have assumed there would have been a tragic situation rather
it be them not getting to him in time or
him being killed for being an obvious threat for a
mass shooting. So this is great that they were able
to prevent this from happening. Is this going to be
like a new thing, because mass shootings, of course, have
(01:49):
become something that doesn't really surprise folks when you hear
about them. I mean, I'm sure there's many that happened
now that don't even really hit the radar. For a
lot of people, it's it's crazy. So I don't know
if you can implement any kind of a plan. In fact,
that's the bigcom you know, if somebody regardless of what
of what your laws and restrictions are when it comes
(02:13):
to gun control, it's one of those things that there
are certain people that we'll find a way to do
it regardless. Now, with that said, I think it's a
legitimate question to ask, shouldn't we make it a little
more difficult for certain individuals to be able to have access?
But again, it's like a lot of things in life.
If somebody, regardless of how legal it is or how
(02:36):
accessible it is, if somebody really wants to do something,
there's a good chance they're going to be able to
find a way to do it, regardless if they're following
the law or going about.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It the right way.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
But yeah, I guess more than anything, the family of
this individual props for them to them for you know,
doing what I would hope everybody would do. But yeah,
scary situation.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
All Right, it's Kentucky, It's Morning News, Coffee and Company.
That's us and we are fueled by thought. Appreciate you

When you get yourself in a situation. Well, maybe it
(03:18):
wasn't you that puts yourself in said situation.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You just end up in a.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Situation where a distracted driver has impacted you. Maybe it's
with a serious injury, Maybe it's with damage to your
vehicle that you now worry about getting repaired. So when
you're processing all the things that come with being in
an accident, one of those questions is going to be
(03:41):
who can I trust? Who can I turn to that's
going to fight for me when it comes to being
a personal injury attorney. And I can sell you there's
nobody better than Alex White and his team. Their presence
in this community, it has felt they're not just putting
up billboards all over town to make you think that
they're here locally. No, Alex and his team, they are
here locally, right in Little And I can tell you
(04:01):
they'll fight for you. And if you don't, if you
don't win your case, they don't get a dime, right,
So that's how much they trust what they're they'll be
able to do for you. So again, check out so
distracted driver dot com. And also we had Alex in
the studio with us on Friday and I'm I'm getting excited.
I feel like I'm I'm like back in high school
waiting for like a big party that people have been
talking about for a while with Rad Revival, because it's
(04:24):
first of all, just right in my wheelhouse as far
as just being a an eighties and nineties theme party.
But it's coming up on November the first, so right
after Thanksgi, right, I'm sorry, right after Halloween. It'll be
at the Paristown Arts Districts, so it'll be from four
to ten pm that's Saturday. They're going to have a
costume contest eighties and nineties year, and also it's a
(04:46):
car show, so only vehicles from the eighties and nineties
can participate. They're also going to have some BMX stunt
tricks going on, so it's a it's it's going to
be a fun party. This is, I believe, the third
year they're doing it, and I'm looking forward to getting
out there and me and my wife are going to go,
and you should too. And this is what really makes
it worth it is that the first car project, they're
(05:09):
going to give away two vehicles to foster kids. And
this is one of those things that I wouldn't have
thought about, but it's such an obvious need for kids
that are becoming adults, that are aging out of the
foster foster care system when they're starting life, they don't
have if they've been in foster care, there's a good
chance they don't have the resources or the means to
(05:30):
get themselves transportation to start their life as a grown up.
Rather it be driving to school every day wherever they
go to college, or driving to work. So Alex with
the first Car Project, they raise money throughout the year
to give away vehicles to those that are kind of
starting this next chapter in their life and maybe don't
(05:50):
have the resources that a lot of people have as
far as making that transition. So again, come out, have
a good time. Red Rival, I'm sorry. Rad revival ky
dot com is the website if you want to get
more information, but it is free, So come out, have
a good time. And I gotta figure out what I'm
gonna The wife and I are thinking about doing something
saved by the Bell like as yeah, you know, she
(06:12):
could be Kapowski. I don't know what, I don't know
who I could. I'll probably be Screech or something. Just
get me like one of those curly wigs. I mean,
I could be Zach, Zach what's his name, but I
feel like I don't have the look he's he's a
good looking guy, he's you know.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
But then again, Screeched.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I can't think of any any scenarios where Screech and
Kelly Kapowski and Save by the Bell were like a
part of anything together.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I'll figure something out, but looking forward to it and
hope you guys will join us as well. All right,
let's get to a quick time out trapping a weather
updates are on the way right here, right now on
news Radio eight forty whas So, the government shutdown is
now into week three, Week three starting, and the issues
at airports are seemingly not not better, but doesn't seem
(06:57):
like it's a whole lot worse. FAA staffing issues, of course,
have been I think the most talked about issue with
this government shut down as far as the impact among others.
But I feel like the travel it just seems as
if if we hit a hit a point where travel
is disrupted in a way we've never seen before here
(07:19):
in America because of this government shutdown, the lingering effects
of that could be the potential factor that that just
makes it to wear no matter what somebody's got, somebody's
got to give as far as just conceding and getting
the shutdown over with. But the FAA confirmed that as
of Sunday night, they've had numerous issues and two cities
(07:43):
I guess dealing with it worse than others is Los Angeles,
I'm sorry, Las Vegas and Phoenix. So says here the
data shows eighty two percent of US flights have still
departed on time during the first few weeks here of this.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I guess first.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Seventeen days of the shutdown is what it says here,
So that's roughly average for this time of year. So
again it doesn't I said this last week that obviously
there's going to be coverage, and I don't think it's
to put fear into people. But obviously, if you are
traveling and you know that the airport, which can be
hell on Earth regardless of any kind of a shutdown,
I mean, it's going to get the understandable amount of coverage.
(08:21):
But I do think if you pay attention even a
little bit, you'll realize that overall it's not been that
big of an issue as far as just the amount
of people that are impacted as far as flight's being
delayed and canceled and all that. Again, now if you're
if you're one of the one of the people that
has been impacted, I'm sure that's that's a real pain
(08:42):
in the rear. But still overall, I mean that number
eighty two percent of US flights have still departed on
time during the shutdown, and that's roughly average for this
time of year when there's not a shutdown. I think
that's a very important piece of data that lets you
know that, all things consider, this hasn't been terrible.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
But again, it'll only get worse.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Even if it's not substantially worse, it certainly isn't gonna
get better until this shutdown comes to an end.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
But the busiest airport's Dallas, Chicago.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Atlanta, Newark. They're the ones that are having more of
I guess, the daily delay, but not much more than what.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
They typically get. But hopefully they get the.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Government shut down ended at some point, But it seems
as if there's really no end in sight right now.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Hopefully that changes.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And as I've always said, it could happen any second,
and it wouldn't be a shock to me because there's
a lot going on behind the scenes that I'm sure
none of us will ever know about. All right, let's
get to an update of traffick and whether we'll see
how we're looking here to get this Tuesday started. As
far as traffic, Bobby Ellis will get us caught up there.
We've got a sports update coming your way with Scott
and a weather update coming with Matt Melosovich.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
So stick with us. It is Kentucky and it's morning
news right here on News Radio eight to forty. Whas.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
One thing I've learned is that when it comes to
gratuity tipping, it's one of those topics everybody seems to
have an opinion. And we now have a new nationwide
report that is shedding light on the tipping trends across
major cities here in the United States, and it's telling
you which cities are the best and which are the
(10:13):
worst when it comes to tipping. And a lot of
the generosity varies depending upon where you dine, how old
you are, that kind of stuff. But despite tip fatigue
being something that has been discussed recently, which I at
times have tip fatigue, not because I don't. When I
(10:33):
think tip fatigue For me, it's not just having to tip,
it's being I guess urged to tip for things that
nobody knows why they're even giving you an option to
add something to the receipt, and it's just uncomfortable. So
that's when I think of tipping fatigue. But it can
mean a lot. I guess whatever it means. You can
mean whatever to you. But there is a dining Rewards
(10:54):
app that has analyzed millions of transactions from over forty
five hundred restaurants nationwide. And here are the cities that
are the best when it comes to tipping based off percentage.
Denver is the highest at twenty one point eighteen percent,
followed by Austin, Texas at twenty one point zero six
percent and Seattle twenty point ninety eight percent, and cities
(11:20):
on the lower end San Francisco eighteen percent, Los Angeles nineteen.
They still hover near the twenty percent mark, which I
feel like that's always been the I mean, I try
to always make sure I'm doing roughly twenty percent if
it ends up being eighteen or nineteen percent, because I've
got a chance to like even out the number. I
(11:41):
do that right, like, instead of leaving you know if
it's if it's eighteen dollars and eighty eight cents, I
could leave two dollars and it'd be twenty dollars and
eighty eight cents. I mean, I wouldn't tip that. I'm
just giving you an example as far as just what
what I sometimes would. That's what I typically do. But
you know, if I got a chance to even it out,
which makes no difference, I don't know why I do that.
Maybe it's mebe an OCD. But baby Boomers are the
(12:04):
most generous, averaging around twenty one percent, and gen Z
tips the least, averaging eighteen to nineteen. But again these
are like those are there's no difference between those numbers really, But.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I also assume that the baby Boomers have the most money,
therefore they can tip more often. And gen Z of
course being the youngest generation at least, you know, the
youngest generation that has jobs, that they'll have the least
amount of money to give.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And look, I think there's all kinds of different different
opinions as far as tipping that you'll find, but one
thing that is that is most consistent among all the
different eras baby Boomers, gen Z, whatever is that tipping
prompts these days is just too much. Ninety three percent
(12:50):
of Americans say there are simply too many tipping prompts
and it's it's been called tip creep. I've not heard that,
but whatever you want to call it, I agree, because
tipping is certainly I mean, I think it's mandatory if
you go out to eat somewhere, to tip something. But
I guess there are situations where maybe you wouldn't. Also,
(13:12):
to be fair, I guess it's not mandatory. They don't
make you do that, but it's one of those just
known things that the expectation is. I mean, if you
if you just just if you just chose to go
out to eat a couple times a week, and you
just are never gonna tip regardless, like what can they
do to you?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I mean, but certainly nobody would do that, right, I mean,
maybe I'm wrong. I'm sure you'll find examples where somebody,
I mean, heck, there are people who run out on
the on the bill, therefore they're not leaving a tip.
But yeah, I for me, twenty percent is what I
just aim for.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And it's and I.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Wish I could I wish I could say it's just
one thousand percent based off the fact that I just
care so much about the servers. Not that I don't,
but I mean, I'll admit I wouldn't want to be
known as the guy who doesn't tip.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Well.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I mean, that's just something that that I would, you know,
I try to avoid. Now, if service is really bad,
I'm still gonna tip, and it maybe wouldn't be In fact,
it would not be what I what I would if
the service was good. I mean, I do base it
off of how well the service is or how bad
it is. But I mean, nobody wants to be known
as as the cheap person who isn't appreciative of the server,
(14:24):
who of course is working for your tip. That is.
Now I'm thinking about a scenario that I hope never happens,
but I'm sure it has, where someone has just decided,
no matter what, they're just never gonna tip. That's one
thing to not tip if you get a if you
get you know, a cup of coffee from somebody and
they hand it to you. I mean I always, not always,
(14:48):
but like I'd say, eight out of ten times, if
I'm going to get a beer, let's just say I'm
gonna go get a beer from the from from the
from one of those stands at Cardinal Stadium. Not not
one of those lines where they give you a draft,
but like you just you know, they just get out
of get it out of the tub, the luminum cans,
luminum bottles. I should say, I'll usually on my card
or if they take cash, like I'll try to leave
(15:10):
a dollar tip eight out of ten times, and I
don't feel bad about doing it because most of those
people are there like fundraising for a program or something
like a team. But it's also one of those things
where it's like we just we just made it a
thing to where that you pay twelve dollars for your
beer and you're you're gonna feel bad for not tipping,
and maybe you don't feel bad, and if that's the case,
(15:31):
I'm not trying to make you feel bad. But I
guess I'm just a sucker more than anything, because quite
literally they're grabbing the beer and handing it like they're
they're literally not even moving, their arm is going in
ice and they're they're getting it and handing it to me,
and I'm I'm, I guess, I'm I'm I'm not alone.
I'm sure, but I'm one of the suckers that just
feels obligated to tip them for doing that. And I
(15:53):
don't feel like I'm a complete sucker, but really, when
it comes to just being consistent, when it comes to
what we believe should require you to ad gratuity, that
would be lasting line for me. All Right, let's get
to an update of Travick him Weather. We'll also talk
a little sports on the other side, because I do
want to talk about all these open jobs in college football,
because when it comes to which jobs are the best,
(16:14):
it really is. It's quite clear. If money's the biggest
motivator for you, you know which jobs are going to
be able to do better there than others. But maybe
that's not the only factor that these coaches consider when
they take these jobs. We'll talk about that and more
right here on News Radio eight forty whas. I think
it's flattering if you're a Louisville fan and you hear
(16:35):
that other fans who are looking for a ball coach,
they like what you've got, they want what you have.
I mean, I wouldn't say that Jeff Brohm is the
top candidate for any job, but certainly a guy that
when I searched his name Friday night. More often than not,
you'll see people just referencing his record, his crazy record
(16:58):
and success against top five teams, but then others saying
he's the most underrated coach in college football. He's the
best coach that nobody seems to really talk about. And
when you win against number two, that, of course we'll
get more people talking about you. And that has led
to Penn State fans, some of them referencing Brom as
far as somebody that could potentially take over their program.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And I don't I.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Can't give you anything as far as I mean, that
does nothing for me. I mean, I'm not here to
tell you that Jeff would never ever leave. I just
don't see that happening at all. But maybe him naive.
But Tim Sullivan, former CJ columnist, He shared on his
Twitter account an article from Onward State, a platform that
covers Penn State, and this is what Tim said. At
a minimum, Jeff Brom is in line for a big race.
(17:44):
A Penn State can afford to pay James Franklin forty
nine million to leave Louisville may want to show some
preemptive love, no doubt, Jeff. If this season continues to
if this season is successful and you've got all these
jobs open, I would say three years in, let's say
they finished is ten and two, nine and three. Even
I'm not sure a race for Jeff wouldn't be warranted,
(18:06):
especially given the fact that, I mean he's somebody that
other coaches would, other schools would probably like. Now with
that said, clearly, he's here, he's home, he cares about Louisville.
This is what I say about Jeff. That that that
I don't think can be overstated. He gives you something
that no other coach can give you. A give a
(18:26):
you know what about Louisville. That is genuine and that
is real. That doesn't mean even never leave. I don't
think he would, But I'm just saying he You could
have a coach that, you know, you pay eight million
more annually because of all the championships they've won, But
they don't have what Brom has as far as just
somebody who gets the program. I mean, it's in his DNA,
the Brom name, the first family of Louisville football. Now
(18:47):
that doesn't I mean if we know we know going in,
or I guess I should say we knew going in
that all that's great and it really hits you in
the fields as a fan, but if he doesn't win,
it doesn't matter, right, And that's that's the slippery slope
of high firing one of your own. And sometimes it
works out to where they're so bad it's an easy
choice and you move on, like Kenny Payne. So Jeff
being mentioned doesn't make me worried at all. But I
(19:10):
also think that he'd be worth it, and it would
be wise for Josh Hurd to if this success continues,
and let's say you find your way back to the
a SEC Championship game, I think you'll see an extent.
You'll see a raise and an extension for him, And
hopefully it wouldn't even because you're worried about him leaving.
It's just because, hey, we got to take care of
our guy, because we want him to stay happy, because
(19:31):
we appreciate him being home. I can tell you who
I appreciate that is my friends. Over at the Louisville
Men's Clinic, I had low tea and I didn't even
know what it was. I just assume, Yeah, that can't
be me. I'm too young for that.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I was wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
You get to a certain age, you stop producing a
certain level of testosterone, and once that happens, you could
have some real side effects. You can become lethargic, stop
getting the results from your workouts that you used to get,
develop some belly fats, some man boobs, and you may
just chalk it up to Okay, well, well I guess
that's just getting older, and yeah, that's part of it.
But if your levels or where they need to be
(20:05):
for somebody in your age range, you can avoid those
kind of things. And for me, I went without it,
not knowing that I had that issue for a long time,
to where once I got my levels in the range
of where they need to be, I felt like a
brand new man. So not an exaggeration to say that
my friends at the lover Of Men's Clinic change my life.
They can change yours too, So you may not feel
like you have anything wrong with you. That's what a
(20:25):
lot of men just believe. That's how they operate.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
But you never know.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Until you go talk to somebody. So go check them out.
Litvle the Men's Clinic dot com is the website. Give
them a call. FABO two four four four four thousand.
All right, we've got a quick update at Travick the
Weather on the Way and also another sports update with
Scott's so stick around right
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Here at New's Radio eight forty whas
So authorities saying they stopped a possible mass shooting from
taking place at the Atlanta Airport. That's great to hear
that those in position were able to pick up on
some things and clearly determine somebody was a threat. As
you heard in the story there, Billy Kagile arrested after
officers found an AR fifteen rifle with twenty seven rounds
(00:21):
of ammunition and his truck parked outside the airport. I
guess there's no way to know of certainly what would
have happened had nobody noticed him and made the arrest.
But clearly, when you've got an AR fifteen rifle with
twenty seven rounds of ammunition, who knows what your motives are.
But his family called the police in Cartersville, Georgia, which
(00:45):
is northwest of Atlanta, saying he was live streaming his
plans on social media and headed to the airport to
shoot it up. So he clearly had stated he was
going to do it, and you can't do that without
expecting someone to take you very serious and preventce you
at all costs from from doing anything. It's fact in fact,
I mean, it's it's a miracle that he's alive. I
(01:06):
mean again, it sounds like they were able to apprehend
him really without issue once they located him. But still,
I mean, when you when you when someone igain, if
you tell me, hey, here's the developing situation. Authorities are
on their way to stop a guy who's live streaming
that he's about to shoot up the airport, I would
(01:27):
have assumed there would have been a tragic situation rather
it be them not getting to him in time or
him being killed for being an obvious threat for a
mass shooting. So this is great that they were able
to prevent this from happening. Is this going to be
like a new thing, because mass shootings, of course, have
(01:49):
become something that doesn't really surprise folks when you hear
about them. I mean, I'm sure there's many that happened
now that don't even really hit the radar. For a
lot of people, it's it's crazy. So I don't know
if you can implement any kind of a plan. In fact,
that's the bigcom you know, if somebody regardless of what
of what your laws and restrictions are when it comes
(02:13):
to gun control, it's one of those things that there
are certain people that we'll find a way to do
it regardless. Now, with that said, I think it's a
legitimate question to ask, shouldn't we make it a little
more difficult for certain individuals to be able to have access?
But again, it's like a lot of things in life.
If somebody, regardless of how legal it is or how
(02:36):
accessible it is, if somebody really wants to do something,
there's a good chance they're going to be able to
find a way to do it, regardless if they're following
the law or going about.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It the right way.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
But yeah, I guess more than anything, the family of
this individual props for them to them for you know,
doing what I would hope everybody would do. But yeah,
scary situation.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (02:56):

Situation where a distracted driver has impacted you. Maybe it's

nobody better than Alex White and his team. Their presence
in this community, it has felt they're not just putting
up billboards all over town to make you think that
they're here locally. No, Alex and his team, they are
here locally, right in Little And I can tell you
(04:01):
they'll fight for you. And if you don't, if you
don't win your case, they don't get a dime, right,
So that's how much they trust what they're they'll be
able to do for you. So again, check out so
distracted driver dot com. And also we had Alex in
the studio with us on Friday and I'm I'm getting excited.
I feel like I'm I'm like back in high school
waiting for like a big party that people have been
talking about for a while with Rad Revival, because it's
(04:24):
first of all, just right in my wheelhouse as far
as just being a an eighties and nineties theme party.
But it's coming up on November the first, so right
after Thanksgi, right, I'm sorry, right after Halloween. It'll be
at the Paristown Arts Districts, so it'll be from four
to ten pm that's Saturday. They're going to have a
costume contest eighties and nineties year, and also it's a
(04:46):
car show, so only vehicles from the eighties and nineties
can participate. They're also going to have some BMX stunt
tricks going on, so it's a it's it's going to
be a fun party. This is, I believe, the third
year they're doing it, and I'm looking forward to getting
out there and me and my wife are going to go,
and you should too. And this is what really makes
it worth it is that the first car project, they're
(05:09):
going to give away two vehicles to foster kids. And
this is one of those things that I wouldn't have
thought about, but it's such an obvious need for kids
that are becoming adults, that are aging out of the
foster foster care system when they're starting life, they don't
have if they've been in foster care, there's a good
chance they don't have the resources or the means to
(05:30):
get themselves transportation to start their life as a grown up.
Rather it be driving to school every day wherever they
go to college, or driving to work. So Alex with
the first Car Project, they raise money throughout the year
to give away vehicles to those that are kind of
starting this next chapter in their life and maybe don't
(05:50):
have the resources that a lot of people have as
far as making that transition. So again, come out, have
a good time. Red Rival, I'm sorry. Rad revival ky
dot com is the website if you want to get
more information, but it is free, So come out, have
a good time. And I gotta figure out what I'm
gonna The wife and I are thinking about doing something
saved by the Bell like as yeah, you know, she
(06:12):
could be Kapowski. I don't know what, I don't know
who I could. I'll probably be Screech or something. Just
get me like one of those curly wigs. I mean,
I could be Zach, Zach what's his name, but I
feel like I don't have the look he's he's a
good looking guy, he's you know.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
But then again, Screeched.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I can't think of any any scenarios where Screech and
Kelly Kapowski and Save by the Bell were like a
part of anything together.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I'll figure something out, but looking forward to it and
hope you guys will join us as well. All right,
let's get to a quick time out trapping a weather
updates are on the way right here, right now on
news Radio eight forty whas So, the government shutdown is
now into week three, Week three starting, and the issues
at airports are seemingly not not better, but doesn't seem
(06:57):
like it's a whole lot worse. FAA staffing issues, of course,
have been I think the most talked about issue with
this government shut down as far as the impact among others.
But I feel like the travel it just seems as
if if we hit a hit a point where travel
is disrupted in a way we've never seen before here
(07:19):
in America because of this government shutdown, the lingering effects
of that could be the potential factor that that just
makes it to wear no matter what somebody's got, somebody's
got to give as far as just conceding and getting
the shutdown over with. But the FAA confirmed that as
of Sunday night, they've had numerous issues and two cities
(07:43):
I guess dealing with it worse than others is Los Angeles,
I'm sorry, Las Vegas and Phoenix. So says here the
data shows eighty two percent of US flights have still
departed on time during the first few weeks here of this.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I guess first.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Seventeen days of the shutdown is what it says here,
So that's roughly average for this time of year. So
again it doesn't I said this last week that obviously
there's going to be coverage, and I don't think it's
to put fear into people. But obviously, if you are
traveling and you know that the airport, which can be
hell on Earth regardless of any kind of a shutdown,
I mean, it's going to get the understandable amount of coverage.
(08:21):
But I do think if you pay attention even a
little bit, you'll realize that overall it's not been that
big of an issue as far as just the amount
of people that are impacted as far as flight's being
delayed and canceled and all that. Again, now if you're
if you're one of the one of the people that
has been impacted, I'm sure that's that's a real pain
(08:42):
in the rear. But still overall, I mean that number
eighty two percent of US flights have still departed on
time during the shutdown, and that's roughly average for this
time of year when there's not a shutdown. I think
that's a very important piece of data that lets you
know that, all things consider, this hasn't been terrible.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
But again, it'll only get worse.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Even if it's not substantially worse, it certainly isn't gonna
get better until this shutdown comes to an end.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
But the busiest airport's Dallas, Chicago.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Atlanta, Newark. They're the ones that are having more of
I guess, the daily delay, but not much more than what.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
They typically get. But hopefully they get the.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Government shut down ended at some point, But it seems
as if there's really no end in sight right now.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Hopefully that changes.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And as I've always said, it could happen any second,
and it wouldn't be a shock to me because there's
a lot going on behind the scenes that I'm sure
none of us will ever know about. All right, let's
get to an update of traffick and whether we'll see
how we're looking here to get this Tuesday started. As
far as traffic, Bobby Ellis will get us caught up there.
We've got a sports update coming your way with Scott
and a weather update coming with Matt Melosovich.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
So stick with us. It is Kentucky and it's morning
news right here on News Radio eight to forty. Whas.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
One thing I've learned is that when it comes to
gratuity tipping, it's one of those topics everybody seems to
have an opinion. And we now have a new nationwide
report that is shedding light on the tipping trends across
major cities here in the United States, and it's telling
you which cities are the best and which are the
(10:13):
worst when it comes to tipping. And a lot of
the generosity varies depending upon where you dine, how old
you are, that kind of stuff. But despite tip fatigue
being something that has been discussed recently, which I at
times have tip fatigue, not because I don't. When I
(10:33):
think tip fatigue For me, it's not just having to tip,
it's being I guess urged to tip for things that
nobody knows why they're even giving you an option to
add something to the receipt, and it's just uncomfortable. So
that's when I think of tipping fatigue. But it can
mean a lot. I guess whatever it means. You can
mean whatever to you. But there is a dining Rewards
(10:54):
app that has analyzed millions of transactions from over forty
five hundred restaurants nationwide. And here are the cities that
are the best when it comes to tipping based off percentage.
Denver is the highest at twenty one point eighteen percent,
followed by Austin, Texas at twenty one point zero six
percent and Seattle twenty point ninety eight percent, and cities
(11:20):
on the lower end San Francisco eighteen percent, Los Angeles nineteen.
They still hover near the twenty percent mark, which I
feel like that's always been the I mean, I try
to always make sure I'm doing roughly twenty percent if
it ends up being eighteen or nineteen percent, because I've
got a chance to like even out the number. I
(11:41):
do that right, like, instead of leaving you know if
it's if it's eighteen dollars and eighty eight cents, I
could leave two dollars and it'd be twenty dollars and
eighty eight cents. I mean, I wouldn't tip that. I'm
just giving you an example as far as just what
what I sometimes would. That's what I typically do. But
you know, if I got a chance to even it out,
which makes no difference, I don't know why I do that.
Maybe it's mebe an OCD. But baby Boomers are the
(12:04):
most generous, averaging around twenty one percent, and gen Z
tips the least, averaging eighteen to nineteen. But again these
are like those are there's no difference between those numbers really, But.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I also assume that the baby Boomers have the most money,
therefore they can tip more often. And gen Z of
course being the youngest generation at least, you know, the
youngest generation that has jobs, that they'll have the least
amount of money to give.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And look, I think there's all kinds of different different
opinions as far as tipping that you'll find, but one
thing that is that is most consistent among all the
different eras baby Boomers, gen Z, whatever is that tipping
prompts these days is just too much. Ninety three percent
(12:50):
of Americans say there are simply too many tipping prompts
and it's it's been called tip creep. I've not heard that,
but whatever you want to call it, I agree, because
tipping is certainly I mean, I think it's mandatory if
you go out to eat somewhere, to tip something. But
I guess there are situations where maybe you wouldn't. Also,
(13:12):
to be fair, I guess it's not mandatory. They don't
make you do that, but it's one of those just
known things that the expectation is. I mean, if you
if you just just if you just chose to go
out to eat a couple times a week, and you
just are never gonna tip regardless, like what can they
do to you?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I mean, but certainly nobody would do that, right, I mean,
maybe I'm wrong. I'm sure you'll find examples where somebody,
I mean, heck, there are people who run out on
the on the bill, therefore they're not leaving a tip.
But yeah, I for me, twenty percent is what I
just aim for.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And it's and I.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Wish I could I wish I could say it's just
one thousand percent based off the fact that I just
care so much about the servers. Not that I don't,
but I mean, I'll admit I wouldn't want to be
known as the guy who doesn't tip.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Well.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I mean, that's just something that that I would, you know,
I try to avoid. Now, if service is really bad,
I'm still gonna tip, and it maybe wouldn't be In fact,
it would not be what I what I would if
the service was good. I mean, I do base it
off of how well the service is or how bad
it is. But I mean, nobody wants to be known
as as the cheap person who isn't appreciative of the server,
(14:24):
who of course is working for your tip. That is.
Now I'm thinking about a scenario that I hope never happens,
but I'm sure it has, where someone has just decided,
no matter what, they're just never gonna tip. That's one
thing to not tip if you get a if you
get you know, a cup of coffee from somebody and
they hand it to you. I mean I always, not always,
(14:48):
but like I'd say, eight out of ten times, if
I'm going to get a beer, let's just say I'm
gonna go get a beer from the from from the
from one of those stands at Cardinal Stadium. Not not
one of those lines where they give you a draft,
but like you just you know, they just get out
of get it out of the tub, the luminum cans,
luminum bottles. I should say, I'll usually on my card
or if they take cash, like I'll try to leave
(15:10):
a dollar tip eight out of ten times, and I
don't feel bad about doing it because most of those
people are there like fundraising for a program or something
like a team. But it's also one of those things
where it's like we just we just made it a
thing to where that you pay twelve dollars for your
beer and you're you're gonna feel bad for not tipping,
and maybe you don't feel bad, and if that's the case,
(15:31):
I'm not trying to make you feel bad. But I
guess I'm just a sucker more than anything, because quite
literally they're grabbing the beer and handing it like they're
they're literally not even moving, their arm is going in
ice and they're they're getting it and handing it to me,
and I'm I'm, I guess, I'm I'm I'm not alone.
I'm sure, but I'm one of the suckers that just
feels obligated to tip them for doing that. And I
(15:53):
don't feel like I'm a complete sucker, but really, when
it comes to just being consistent, when it comes to
what we believe should require you to ad gratuity, that
would be lasting line for me. All Right, let's get
to an update of Travick him Weather. We'll also talk
a little sports on the other side, because I do
want to talk about all these open jobs in college football,
because when it comes to which jobs are the best,
(16:14):
it really is. It's quite clear. If money's the biggest
motivator for you, you know which jobs are going to
be able to do better there than others. But maybe
that's not the only factor that these coaches consider when
they take these jobs. We'll talk about that and more
right here on News Radio eight forty whas. I think
it's flattering if you're a Louisville fan and you hear
(16:35):
that other fans who are looking for a ball coach,
they like what you've got, they want what you have.
I mean, I wouldn't say that Jeff Brohm is the
top candidate for any job, but certainly a guy that
when I searched his name Friday night. More often than not,
you'll see people just referencing his record, his crazy record
(16:58):
and success against top five teams, but then others saying
he's the most underrated coach in college football. He's the
best coach that nobody seems to really talk about. And
when you win against number two, that, of course we'll
get more people talking about you. And that has led
to Penn State fans, some of them referencing Brom as
far as somebody that could potentially take over their program.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And I don't I.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Can't give you anything as far as I mean, that
does nothing for me. I mean, I'm not here to
tell you that Jeff would never ever leave. I just
don't see that happening at all. But maybe him naive.
But Tim Sullivan, former CJ columnist, He shared on his
Twitter account an article from Onward State, a platform that
covers Penn State, and this is what Tim said. At
a minimum, Jeff Brom is in line for a big race.
(17:44):
A Penn State can afford to pay James Franklin forty
nine million to leave Louisville may want to show some
preemptive love, no doubt, Jeff. If this season continues to
if this season is successful and you've got all these
jobs open, I would say three years in, let's say
they finished is ten and two, nine and three. Even
I'm not sure a race for Jeff wouldn't be warranted,
(18:06):
especially given the fact that, I mean he's somebody that
other coaches would, other schools would probably like. Now with
that said, clearly, he's here, he's home, he cares about Louisville.
This is what I say about Jeff. That that that
I don't think can be overstated. He gives you something
that no other coach can give you. A give a
(18:26):
you know what about Louisville. That is genuine and that
is real. That doesn't mean even never leave. I don't
think he would, But I'm just saying he You could
have a coach that, you know, you pay eight million
more annually because of all the championships they've won, But
they don't have what Brom has as far as just
somebody who gets the program. I mean, it's in his DNA,
the Brom name, the first family of Louisville football. Now
(18:47):
that doesn't I mean if we know we know going in,
or I guess I should say we knew going in
that all that's great and it really hits you in
the fields as a fan, but if he doesn't win,
it doesn't matter, right, And that's that's the slippery slope
of high firing one of your own. And sometimes it
works out to where they're so bad it's an easy
choice and you move on, like Kenny Payne. So Jeff
being mentioned doesn't make me worried at all. But I
(19:10):
also think that he'd be worth it, and it would
be wise for Josh Hurd to if this success continues,
and let's say you find your way back to the
a SEC Championship game, I think you'll see an extent.
You'll see a raise and an extension for him, And
hopefully it wouldn't even because you're worried about him leaving.
It's just because, hey, we got to take care of
our guy, because we want him to stay happy, because
(19:31):
we appreciate him being home. I can tell you who
I appreciate that is my friends. Over at the Louisville
Men's Clinic, I had low tea and I didn't even
know what it was. I just assume, Yeah, that can't
be me. I'm too young for that.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I was wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
You get to a certain age, you stop producing a
certain level of testosterone, and once that happens, you could
have some real side effects. You can become lethargic, stop
getting the results from your workouts that you used to get,
develop some belly fats, some man boobs, and you may
just chalk it up to Okay, well, well I guess
that's just getting older, and yeah, that's part of it.
But if your levels or where they need to be
(20:05):
for somebody in your age range, you can avoid those
kind of things. And for me, I went without it,
not knowing that I had that issue for a long time,
to where once I got my levels in the range
of where they need to be, I felt like a
brand new man. So not an exaggeration to say that
my friends at the lover Of Men's Clinic change my life.
They can change yours too, So you may not feel
like you have anything wrong with you. That's what a
(20:25):
lot of men just believe. That's how they operate.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
But you never know.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Until you go talk to somebody. So go check them out.
Litvle the Men's Clinic dot com is the website. Give
them a call. FABO two four four four four thousand.
All right, we've got a quick update at Travick the
Weather on the Way and also another sports update with
Scott's so stick around right

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
