Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thank you, John. It is eight h five here Kentucky.
It's Morning News with Nick Coffee on News Radio eight forty.
Whas been a busy morning so far. We will talk
coming up here at eight thirty with Roredyo O'Neal of
NBC News to get the latest on the unrest that
is still a situation, to say the least in Los Angeles,
and looting is what became, i guess, an added layer
(00:23):
to the situation in LA and in the grand scheme
of things, it's probably not a surprise that ended up
becoming a thing. That's usually what happens when you have protests, riots,
whatever you want to call them. I'm sure again, what
some view as a peaceful protest, some would call a riot,
and vice versa. It really is just an objective thing
(00:45):
for a lot of people. But there were, let's see,
I'm sure the amount of it's tough to know the
exact amount of businesses that were impacted as far as
being vandalized and had items stolen, but there was an
Adida store, in Apple Store, a place called Shoe Palace,
different dispensaries, a pharmacy, and a jewelry store that were
(01:08):
broken into, damaged and of course, had a lot of
things stolen, buildings and police vehicles were defaced with graffiti
across the ten block radius in LA So it sounds
like thats the latest is that that has come to
an end for the time being. And again that's just
one of the many things that comes with these type
of situations getting to this point where it's gone on
many days, and I just I think it's gonna get
(01:32):
at least a little worse before he gets better. But
maybe maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Again.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
We'll talk to Roy O'Neil of NBC News coming up
at eight thirty. As far as the protests that have
gone on here in Louisville the last couple of days,
for the most part, it seems like those have been
very peaceful, not been an issue. Mayor Greenberg dig talk
yesterday and emphasized that he is confident that the peaceful
protests here in this city won't hit any level of
(01:58):
what we've seen elsewhere. But here were his comments on
that when he talked yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I will not tolerate LMPD, will not tolerate damage to property,
We will not tolerate risk and danger to others, and
so that we don't expect to occur here, and so
we will continue to move forward with lmpd's focus on
preventing and responding to violent crime.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
So I just think whenever you see the looting, that's
actually been a conversation we've had throughout the morning here
the looting. I think, if you're somebody that is trying
to make a change, take a stand, and that's the
way you go about it, I just have a hard
time believing that that that just doesn't add up at all.
(02:42):
I think what you have is you have people who
are really going about it in a peaceful way and
not being violent at all, and even at times encouraging
others to follow that exact same approach. Then you have
others who might mean well, but they can't control themselves.
They get the urge to maybe do it in a
violent way. And then I think you have looters who
(03:03):
see just how heated the situation is in certain cities
where you have protests like this going on, and they
look at it as the jackpot, the opportunity to go
in and just you know, start damaging everything in sight
and stealing anything inside of value. And it's a lot
when you see it happening in your city. And again
(03:24):
I'm not from LA, but it took me back to
watching and again to the extent of what's going on
in LA. It's probably not what we had here. I
don't know, Maybe I'm wrong. It was a long time ago,
and I really wouldn't know the exact extent, but watching
the live coverage of the looting happening in downtown Louisville
in twenty twenty, I mean, it was a feeling. I
didn't really know how to describe it, and I didn't
(03:45):
really know where it was coming from. But I think
Scott said the word earlier that really resonated with me
is I think you feel violated.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I don't own the city of Louisville, but I live here.
This is my home. This is where I was raised,
is where I raised my family. And when you have
that kind of stuff going on, you just feel like
you're being violated. It's not a good feeling at all.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
No, and then it gets the bad press. So folks
that want to come it doesn't help anyone because one
the business owners obviously, then the employees that work at
the business, this is their livelihood. They're going to be
out of work for a while, and then when it
gets on TV, like with the Brown and Taylor riots,
you know, maybe conventions we're planning on coming in town,
and that just takes money out of everybody's pocket. And
(04:23):
I'd just be interested to catch up with some of
these looters maybe five years down the road, five seven
years down the road, and say, what did that really
get you? So you stole an iPhone? First of all,
you couldn't activate it. So did you sell it on
the black market? Did it get you a couple bucks?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Oh, it's got to be black market. And maybe I'm
overthinking it, but I just assume these people aren't aren't
people that give a you know what about what it's
being protested. They just see it as an opportunity. It
could be a Netflix series, right, a documentary series tracking
down these people who, you know, maybe maybe they'll talk
and tell us how it all works. If they can
keep their faces hidden, because that's what they do. They
(04:58):
have masks on you can't see them. So yep, yeah, again,
we'll talk to Rory O'Neil about this coming up around
eight thirty And if you've yet to hear the reaction
from Kentucky fans, on the decision from the big Dog
as they call him, Vince Merrow, leaving his position at
Kentucky to join the rival. We'll let you hear that.
On the other side, we've also got more sports coming
up with Scott, but first an update on traffic and
(05:19):
weather right here on news Radio eight forty whas. It
is eight sixteen here at news Radio eight forty whas.
Thank you guys for hanging out with us here this morning,
getting your Wednesday started. Maybe it's already, maybe it started
long ago, but either way, we appreciate you being with us.
We've got sports coming your way with Scott Fitzgerald in
(05:40):
about eight minutes, but real quickly. There's going to be
some changes coming to the college basketball world where you
can now have coaches challenge specific calls at any point
in the game if they have a time out available.
So this is pretty big. Each team in college basketball
is going to get one challenge per game, with a
second challenge granted at the first one is successful. This
(06:01):
is similar to the NBA's one plus one system, and
the reviewable calls will be out of bounds violations, basket
interference or goaltending, whether a secondary defender was legally positioned
in the restricted arc, so you can't review everything, but
those are certainly very much judgment calls and they have
the ability to go to the monitor and get it right.
So challenges will now be a thing in college hoops.
(06:23):
And then also they're making a slight change to the
continuation rule, basically going with the NBA. They've kind of
already done that in a way in college hoops to
where it becomes very much just the judgment of the official.
But the continuation is not supposed to be a thing
in college hoops. Before now it was just if you're
fouled in the active shooting, you take free throws, where
now they're going to just let it be if you
(06:45):
were you know, if you were in the process of
getting up a shot, you're in motion to get a
layup or whatever it may be. Even if you have
to take an extra step after getting fouled, they're going
to give you. They're going to give you the bucket
if you make it, or of course just say that
it is a shooting foul. So, uh, those those are
some pretty big changes, especially the challenge. That's that's that's
(07:06):
a thing, and a lot of a lot of sports
at college and pro levels, and obviously in college hoops
they can certainly certainly benefit from it.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Is it just me? Or did at least I thought
while I was watching college basketball this year, more games
once they got inside two minutes were constantly being stopped
for reviews.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Oh, it was a huge issue with college hoops. I mean,
it's there's a fine line, and this is tough to balance.
You do you want to knowingly, I guess, impact the
product in a negative way as far as the experience
or do you know and by doing that, just know
that you are you're going to make sure you get
(07:43):
it right. Yep. So because where I think the fine
line is if you know you have the ability to
utilize technology and go see if you get it right
under two minutes, then you're going to do that. But
you also it has become a real turn off for
people that aren't invested in the sport of college hoops.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
So well, it's not if you're waiting for the next game,
yeah to come on. That happened to me a lot
this year and it was just kept going forever forever.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
All right. So, if you haven't heard this yet, this
is a This is about about a minute long clip
of callers yesterday to KSR expressing their anger and disappointment
in Vince Marrow, their beloved assistant coach, the big Dog
as they call him, who decided to take another job.
But he took another job at Louisville. That's not just
any other job. As I'm sure you are well aware.
(08:24):
If you are someone on either side of this rivalry,
you went ahead.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
And soldier Sola here too early.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I'm done with big fan of you events, but not
if you go to an inferior institution.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
El's down, little Dog, el's down our event. I'm glad
you're listing because when you throw the l's up, I
hope to God your hand cramp. I hope that you
know when you go do the karaoke of simple Man
in acc all six of their fans at the ACCY tournament,
all six of their fans are gonna love it. Okay,
But at the end of the day, you are not
a big dog anymore. You are no more than a
(08:54):
toy poodle. And I hope you stub your toe you
have your press conference. I think this probably that is
low life patrol move. As the coach could do, he
went to Louisville. I would we get a chance to
run it down his throat, run a red sideline.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
I don't care if you get a penalty, throw the
helt down in his.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
He is now the enemy.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I don't wear red shirts.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I won't even wear red underwear. Coachmorrow Man, I used
to love, and now I despise.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
You're trader. You have to betrayed the UK UK fans.
Vince Merrill, the dirty bird finger and the l's down
shall now be the official Vince Merrill greeting. He did
that to UK football, UK Athletics and now BBN don't
go to the loser bill down the road.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
So I didn't want to share that with you guys
to pile on, because I get it. If I was
a Kentucky fan, i'd probably feel the same way to
an extent. But this, the fact that he's leaving, wouldn't
be anything close to the level of a story that
it is if it was anywhere else other than Louisville.
This is just a reminder of the rivalry and what
it is around here, and you don't see it often.
(09:58):
There have been very few that have made a jump
from one to the other, especially directly right like you've had.
Patino went to the Celtics and then went to Louisville,
which of course is still I'm sure I think Kentucky fans,
many many years later is still stunned that it happened.
But it happened. But yeah, not something you see very often.
All Right, We've got another update at Traffick and weather
coming your way. Also another update on sports with Scott
(10:19):
Fitzgerald and then Roy O'Neil's going to stop by at
eight thirty right here on News Radio eight forty whas.
It is a forty seven here at Kentucky and it's
morning news on News Radio eight forty whas about to
hand it off to the fellas Tony Venetti and Dwight
Whitten who have made their way here into studio, and
we were talking fake IDs. They're cracking down on folks
(10:40):
that are not following the rules and do what you're
supposed to do if you serve serve alcohol, and as
you heard Brad Silvia say in our latest newscast that
if you are serving alcohol to minors, then you no
longer are of have a right to have a liquor
license and serve alcohol, which makes total sense, but fake IDs,
there's still clearly a thing I want would assume. But
(11:01):
what I think a lot of young people who use
a fake i D don't realize, which I would never
although I did admit to it earlier that I did
have one, but I didn't have a fake identification card.
I had a real identification card. It just wasn't me statues. Okay, good,
thank you, so so. But but if you actually have
a fake i D where somebody has has manufactured something
(11:21):
that's not a state issued i D, I think you're
a lot of a lot of people just the fears
they might take it from me and I'll be I'll
have the walk of shame.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I got kicked out and I paid money and it
didn't work. But you could also be that's a that's
a bigger charge. Like if you're going to get held,
if the police want to make an example of you,
they have a much better way there, but the punishment
will be much more severe for you. If you have
a fake ID that somebody manufactured somebody's.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
That might be federal.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
At that point.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
My first fake i D was there's a street in
south of Louisville.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Collte hypothetically speaking, right.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
This happened. It was on hot Rod Haven, the apartments there,
and so I went down the basement apartment. There's a
giant picture of a license sitting on the wall. I
stand in front of that.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I can't believe you guys take a picture.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
And then they laminated it by the bing Boy to Boom.
I was Todd Kraft, twenty one years old.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Todd Craft.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Yeah, I was by the Todd Craft, but that was
my name.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Did it work though?
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Absolutely?
Speaker 7 (12:23):
It worked because that was we were the first generation
that had to start doing that because mostly in the
sixties and seventies, bars and liquor stores didn't care if
you had a little bit of a five o'clock shadow.
They're going to sell you beer or a booze or
get into a bar. And then all of a sudden
mad came around and people started cracking down and the
ABC started busting bars for a serving underage. But they
(12:45):
were still plenty of bars that let you in in
the nineteen nineties and it was notoriously the college hangout
in a different world.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
There's a video that has made its rounds. It's a
it's a newscast from gotta be the eighties, but it's
it's in I believe, out of Lexington, and they're getting
they're getting citizens reaction to the rule where you can
no longer drink. They're going to really enforce it to
where you can't drink while driving. And there's this guy,
blue collar guy, and he's like, I think it's I
(13:15):
think it's ridiculous. What God can't have a couple beers
on his way home from work? And I'm like, what what?
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Well?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Time?
Speaker 7 (13:21):
No, that was Look and we just had the prosecutor
for the bus crash on Paul Ridgewalski. You understand that
there were protests every single day that they went to
the courthouse because the people in Courton were like or
Cordon carold Carrollton. Uh, we're saying, oh, he's just a
good old boy. He had too many to drink. I
mean you shouldn't prosecute him with all those deaths. I
(13:43):
mean they were protesting. It was crazy, but it was
a different age and it needed to happen. And sure
did my kids generation joke about drinking and driving. Ironically
as they're like, hey, we're gonna drink and drive as
it's funny, they would never ever get in the car
and drink. I mean, at least my kids and their friends.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I mean it's I mean, it happens. But I'm a
lot younger than you. Uh so by the time, by
the time, by the time, alcohol was something that was
around whenever I was a teenager, I mean not to
be goody two shoes, but I mean we felt dangerous
enough by sneaking a beer or something. When it comes
(14:21):
to doing anything while driving. There was just there was
enough fear that had been instilled. And I think my generation,
where most wouldn't, our parents got our lines for us.
You understand that, right, our parents.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
At my graduation in nineteen eighty seven, there was ten
cases of beer and a bunch they my parents bought
the booze for my graduation party.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I was eighteen.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Yeah, mine never did that, but lots of my friends would.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah. Man. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
The first time alcohol was around at a social gathering
was I think I was in like eighth grade and
somebody brought and that somebody was me one wine cooler
for the whole party.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
Were crazy? Were you were so popular with your floppy
hair one cooler? And then it got and then it
got out that I was the one who brought it.
Became a big deal with the PTA at school, and
that was the bad boy.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
When did beer When did beer can pyramids stop? Like
in the late nineties, when did that happen? Because that
happened at every party I went.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
To that was that was not a thing beer pong,
but beer pong became a thing. Was beer pong a
thing back then? Did you know a beer can?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
We're talking about every Yeah, yeah, pyramids yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Different times, different times. Have a good show.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
Fellas start now.
Thank you, John. It is eight h five here Kentucky.

All right. So, if you haven't heard this yet, this
is a This is about about a minute long clip
of callers yesterday to KSR expressing their anger and disappointment
in Vince Marrow, their beloved assistant coach, the big Dog
as they call him, who decided to take another job.
But he took another job at Louisville. That's not just
any other job. As I'm sure you are well aware.
(08:24):
If you are someone on either side of this rivalry,
you went ahead.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
And soldier Sola here too early.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I'm done with big fan of you events, but not
if you go to an inferior institution.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
El's down, little Dog, el's down our event. I'm glad
you're listing because when you throw the l's up, I
hope to God your hand cramp. I hope that you
know when you go do the karaoke of simple Man
in acc all six of their fans at the ACCY tournament,
all six of their fans are gonna love it. Okay,
But at the end of the day, you are not
a big dog anymore. You are no more than a
(08:54):
toy poodle. And I hope you stub your toe you
have your press conference. I think this probably that is
low life patrol move. As the coach could do, he
went to Louisville. I would we get a chance to
run it down his throat, run a red sideline.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
I don't care if you get a penalty, throw the
helt down in his.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
He is now the enemy.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I don't wear red shirts.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I won't even wear red underwear. Coachmorrow Man, I used
to love, and now I despise.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
You're trader. You have to betrayed the UK UK fans.
Vince Merrill, the dirty bird finger and the l's down
shall now be the official Vince Merrill greeting. He did
that to UK football, UK Athletics and now BBN don't
go to the loser bill down the road.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
So I didn't want to share that with you guys
to pile on, because I get it. If I was
a Kentucky fan, i'd probably feel the same way to
an extent. But this, the fact that he's leaving, wouldn't
be anything close to the level of a story that
it is if it was anywhere else other than Louisville.
This is just a reminder of the rivalry and what
it is around here, and you don't see it often.
(09:58):
There have been very few that have made a jump
from one to the other, especially directly right like you've had.
Patino went to the Celtics and then went to Louisville,
which of course is still I'm sure I think Kentucky fans,
many many years later is still stunned that it happened.
But it happened. But yeah, not something you see very often.
All Right, We've got another update at Traffick and weather
coming your way. Also another update on sports with Scott
(10:19):
Fitzgerald and then Roy O'Neil's going to stop by at
eight thirty right here on News Radio eight forty whas.
It is a forty seven here at Kentucky and it's
morning news on News Radio eight forty whas about to
hand it off to the fellas Tony Venetti and Dwight
Whitten who have made their way here into studio, and
we were talking fake IDs. They're cracking down on folks
(10:40):
that are not following the rules and do what you're
supposed to do if you serve serve alcohol, and as
you heard Brad Silvia say in our latest newscast that
if you are serving alcohol to minors, then you no
longer are of have a right to have a liquor
license and serve alcohol, which makes total sense, but fake IDs,
there's still clearly a thing I want would assume. But
(11:01):
what I think a lot of young people who use
a fake i D don't realize, which I would never
although I did admit to it earlier that I did
have one, but I didn't have a fake identification card.
I had a real identification card. It just wasn't me statues. Okay, good,
thank you, so so. But but if you actually have
a fake i D where somebody has has manufactured something
(11:21):
that's not a state issued i D, I think you're
a lot of a lot of people just the fears
they might take it from me and I'll be I'll
have the walk of shame.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I got kicked out and I paid money and it
didn't work. But you could also be that's a that's
a bigger charge. Like if you're going to get held,
if the police want to make an example of you,
they have a much better way there, but the punishment
will be much more severe for you. If you have
a fake ID that somebody manufactured somebody's.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
That might be federal.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
At that point.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
My first fake i D was there's a street in
south of Louisville.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Collte hypothetically speaking, right.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
This happened. It was on hot Rod Haven, the apartments there,
and so I went down the basement apartment. There's a
giant picture of a license sitting on the wall. I
stand in front of that.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I can't believe you guys take a picture.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
And then they laminated it by the bing Boy to Boom.
I was Todd Kraft, twenty one years old.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Todd Craft.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Yeah, I was by the Todd Craft, but that was
my name.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Did it work though?
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Absolutely?
Speaker 7 (12:23):
It worked because that was we were the first generation
that had to start doing that because mostly in the
sixties and seventies, bars and liquor stores didn't care if
you had a little bit of a five o'clock shadow.
They're going to sell you beer or a booze or
get into a bar. And then all of a sudden
mad came around and people started cracking down and the
ABC started busting bars for a serving underage. But they
(12:45):
were still plenty of bars that let you in in
the nineteen nineties and it was notoriously the college hangout
in a different world.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
There's a video that has made its rounds. It's a
it's a newscast from gotta be the eighties, but it's
it's in I believe, out of Lexington, and they're getting
they're getting citizens reaction to the rule where you can
no longer drink. They're going to really enforce it to
where you can't drink while driving. And there's this guy,
blue collar guy, and he's like, I think it's I
(13:15):
think it's ridiculous. What God can't have a couple beers
on his way home from work? And I'm like, what what?
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Well?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Time?
Speaker 7 (13:21):
No, that was Look and we just had the prosecutor
for the bus crash on Paul Ridgewalski. You understand that
there were protests every single day that they went to
the courthouse because the people in Courton were like or
Cordon carold Carrollton. Uh, we're saying, oh, he's just a
good old boy. He had too many to drink. I
mean you shouldn't prosecute him with all those deaths. I
(13:43):
mean they were protesting. It was crazy, but it was
a different age and it needed to happen. And sure
did my kids generation joke about drinking and driving. Ironically
as they're like, hey, we're gonna drink and drive as
it's funny, they would never ever get in the car
and drink. I mean, at least my kids and their friends.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I mean it's I mean, it happens. But I'm a
lot younger than you. Uh so by the time, by
the time, by the time, alcohol was something that was
around whenever I was a teenager, I mean not to
be goody two shoes, but I mean we felt dangerous
enough by sneaking a beer or something. When it comes
(14:21):
to doing anything while driving. There was just there was
enough fear that had been instilled. And I think my generation,
where most wouldn't, our parents got our lines for us.
You understand that, right, our parents.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
At my graduation in nineteen eighty seven, there was ten
cases of beer and a bunch they my parents bought
the booze for my graduation party.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I was eighteen.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Yeah, mine never did that, but lots of my friends would.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah. Man. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
The first time alcohol was around at a social gathering
was I think I was in like eighth grade and
somebody brought and that somebody was me one wine cooler
for the whole party.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
Were crazy? Were you were so popular with your floppy
hair one cooler? And then it got and then it
got out that I was the one who brought it.
Became a big deal with the PTA at school, and
that was the bad boy.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
When did beer When did beer can pyramids stop? Like
in the late nineties, when did that happen? Because that
happened at every party I went.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
To that was that was not a thing beer pong,
but beer pong became a thing. Was beer pong a
thing back then? Did you know a beer can?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
We're talking about every Yeah, yeah, pyramids yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Different times, different times. Have a good show.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
Fellas start now.
