Speaker 1 (00:00):
So far, I'm in the clear as far as being
labeled a porch pirate if you missed it. I ended
up ordering something on eBay for the first time in years,
and then later realized, uh, oh, my address was my
old address. So thankfully the people who live in the
house now, their family's still there, the same people we
sold it to still live there, and I still know
(00:21):
that the gentleman who lives there now, and I reached
out to him and he's been great. Let him know
that this is probably one of a few packages that
are going to be coming and sorry, I'll get my
address changed, but is there any way I could, you know,
come bine and get these things that they're going to
be delivered to your house because of the address issue.
And he was totally cool that, yeah, no problem, no
big deal. He would let me know. Hey left it
on the porch and this morning at about four o'clock
(00:44):
in the morning. In fact, actually it was more closer
to three thirty now that I think about it. I
ended up making my way to where I used to live,
the old neighborhood, and without really thinking, I'm kind of
in a hurry, not really out of my way, but
an added stop. So I stopped right in front of
the house, didn't even turn my car off, opened the
door middle of the street, ran up to the front porch,
(01:06):
grabbed the box, and ran back. And then as soon
as I was getting on sixty five, I thought, Okay, yeah,
there's no scenario that that looks good. If somebody's ring
doorbell camera was activated in on, they're just gonna they're
gonna see that, and I would do the same thing.
They're gonna see it and say, that's somebody out here
stealing people's packages. And I'm hopeful that it doesn't turn
(01:27):
into a big deal on the Facebook group, which that's
a part I should.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Have maybe led with that.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I don't live there anymore, but I can't leave the
Facebook group of my old neighborhood because the drama is
just so entertaining. And it's actually been pretty light lately.
Used to be a lot more drama, but maybe this
is what gets people riled up. We got a porch
pirate and we got to hold them accountable. And I'm
hopeful that that doesn't happen. But if it does, that
the people who live there now will will come to
(01:52):
my defense and say, hey, it's not what it looks like,
but we shall see, all right. So the measles, Yeah, pikes,
we now know of one case here in Louisville of
the measles.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It was reported earlier this week. Mayor Greenberg did later.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Confirm that it is a young man and he was
traveling internationally recently with his family, and that, of course
is where he's believed to have picked up the measles.
So the infected child visited the little clinic inside Kroger
on Dixie Highway on Wednesday, July ninth, from nine to
fifteen to noon. So anybody at that location during that
(02:29):
window may have been exposed. So the Louisville Metro Department
of Public Health and Wellness they're actively contact tracing, which
is what you do here. They're notifying those that were
potentially exposed. And I mean, if I was there at
that time, I'd be worried because, I mean, again, without
even knowing a whole lot about what the measles actually is, which,
to be honest, I admitted this yesterday. I mean, I
(02:51):
know that we are vaccinated for that and that it's
a real serious thing, but I didn't really know a
whole lot about it other than that and more often
for the most part, that could be either chalked up
to me just being ignorant, or it could be the
fact that it's not really been a threat, because again,
it's not been a widespread issue in America really ever,
and certainly there are now in twenty twenty five, there
(03:12):
have been three deaths with the measles. And not to
take make light of just three deaths, any deaths something
you don't want. But this is a rare thing to happen.
But when it does happen, there's a lot of awareness
about it because of just how dangerous it is. And
I mean it is highly infectious, which again is why
you know, when you've got a what is it, ninety
(03:34):
percent of people that are that are not vaccinated for
it that end.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Up exposed to it, we'll get it.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
So again, if you were at the Dixie Highway little
Clinic inside Kroger on Wednesday, July ninth, from nine to
fifteen am to noon, be advised. You mean, I don't
really know what you do other than go get you know,
I guess, just go get checked out. But I already
know if it was me, I would not even if
I had no symptoms at all, I would, in my
mind convince myself, oh here we got better say my
(04:03):
last good bias, because I have the measles.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I'm starting to feel starting to feel like.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I've got you know, is that a fever, little dehydration
would turn into me thinking I got one hundred and
three degree fever.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Running knows that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So it says that a rational also appears three to
five days after your symptoms begin. So if you are symptomatic,
they tell you to call your doctor before visiting and
to avoid further spread. So again, just be mindful of that.
All right, What I want to do coming up here
in just a few minutes, I'll reset the Shane Gillis
(04:35):
performance last night as he hosted The Spies, and I
didn't watch a second of it live, and I don't
even know who won a single award, but clearly a
lot of his jokes.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Have made their way to the internet.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And I'm maybe this is wishful thinking on my own,
but I do think as a society we have thankfully
grown fatigued of just being outraged about things that truly
don't bother or that many people. Certain people may be
more more genuinely bothered by certain things that are said,
which is understandable, but also, it's comedy, it's entertainment. Can
(05:11):
we not take ourselves so seriously? And I'm willing to.
I believe that this will play out to where there's
no cancelation of Shane Gillis and we just go back
to realizing, yeah, sometimes comedians are going to tell that line,
and maybe they cross it more often than they should,
but at the end of the day, it's it's not real.
(05:32):
It's comedy, it's entertainment. So we'll get into that. And
also one of the recent bills here in Kentucky, they're
already realizing they got to make some changes. That is
the bill that requires coaches teachers to not have any
contact with students. So again no surprise, Like any bill
like this, any big change like this, you're going to
realize quickly that, yeah, we're gonna have to make some
(05:54):
adjustments here. So we'll talk about that and a lot more.
It is Kentucky and is morning News with Coffee and
Company right here on News Radio eight forty WHS. We
are just a couple of minutes away from your next
check on traffic and weather, so stick around for that.
I'm sure a lot of you are getting your day
started and you want to know what it looks like
out there on the roadways. And luckily for you, we've
got Bobby Ellis who will give us all that important info.
(06:16):
Also will get the latest on the forecast with Matt Melosovich.
So the one of the new bills here in the
state of Kentucky was was very noticeable by those that
are in the education, in education meaning teachers, coaches, or
even if you are the parent of a student, or
if you're an athlete yourself, because it's for a lot
of folks it won't even be noticed. But those that
(06:39):
are impacted by this, it's a big, big change, and
that is that your high school coach is no longer
allowed to communicate with you directly outside of school. And
even you you know your teacher as well, but I
would I would say that if there is contact going
on between teacher and student outside of the classroom, I
would say more more often than not, that is the
(07:00):
That is coaches who who coach high school kids and
need to communicate with their team.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
So now you you.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
You know you can't do that, and obviously that's that's
that's a that's that's an adjustment. So it's sentate Bill
one eighty one. And what this does is it requires
traceable communication only. No private texts, no DMS, no unmonitored messages.
Players cannot take, you know, coaches can't call or text
their players directly. They can't even tag them or be
(07:28):
friends with them on any social media platform. So this,
of course is because there were more bad apples than
there ever should be, which there should never be any
bad apples. But obviously, with the way in which you
can communicate with anybody this day and age, teachers would
get it. You would become close with students and of
course cross the line that you can't cross, and that's
led to the state putting this this in place. So
(07:50):
JCPS implemented the rules starting June sixteenth, so staff and
volunteers can no longer text or probably message any of
their students. So the communication now has to go through parents, guardians,
or officials or i'm sorry, official JCPS channels like an
email that they set up. So what we now know
is that they're going to make some adjustments, and I
don't know what that is, but there is acknowledgment that
(08:14):
there's clearly some flaws, and it sounds like there'll be
an update to this exact situation in twenty twenty six
to clarify some things and probably loosen it a little
bit to where because again, not being able to communicate
with your players other than just calling their parents or
posting on a forum that their parents are a part
(08:34):
of I mean, that's a level of communication, but that's
that's archaic this day and age. All right, let's get
an update out there on the roadways with Bobby Ellis.
Also we'll get an update on the forecast with that Melosavich,
and then it's got to be back with another sports
update for us right here on New's Radio eight forty whas.
Thank you very much, John Shannon for those that are
(08:57):
that are just now joining us. In fact, anybody if
you've been with this since the beginning of today or
just now, I guess I haven't said it yet. I'll
be out at seven o'clock today, so I'm a part timer,
but you're gonna be in good hands with the crew here.
John Shannon of course, will continue to do what he
does with the newscast like you just heard, and of
course we have Scott Fitzgerald and John Alden running the
show the rest of the way. So I referenced earlier
(09:18):
a Wally pip situation which I knew of. I mean,
I've heard that since the time I think I was
in high school, and a yeah, I can it's coming
back to me. So I missed one basketball game ever
in my high school days of playing, and it was
not because of an injury that people typically suffer. It
(09:40):
was because I had an ingrown toenail, and at the time,
I mean, I was in a lot of pain. I
had to have not really an operation, but like I
couldn't play and I was dealing with pain leading up
to it. Long story short, there was no sensitivity towards
my injury, which I get it.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
It's a toe.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But if you ever had any grown toenail that you
know that like that's that's that's not something that can
I mean, I'm sure some situations are worse than others,
but like it can really really really hurt you and
make it to where you have to actually have like
an operation, which I didn't have to have it. Anyways,
my coach made a joke about getting Wally pipped, and
I didn't know what it was at the time. And
I referenced that earlier. When I'm out of here, I'm
gonna get Wally Pip because the company man John Alden
(10:18):
and Scott Fitzgerald and John Shannon are going to steal
the show and I'm not going to be needed, which
I hope is not the case, but I guess we'll see.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
But lou Garrick one of.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
The best baseball players of all time. It's related to
him because Wally Pip was the guy and he had
a headache and decided to take the day off, and
then they that emerged lu Garirig, who of course went
on to become Luke Garrick. So that was that's the
explanation there. Who And again, John, that's one of those
things that totally makes sense that you would not know
(10:46):
what that is.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I could want to ask.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yes, anyways, that's the explanation there. So, yeah, that was
in the thirties, I think it was, so yeah, long, long,
long ago.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
So we talked a little bit earlier with Rory O'Neil
and he gave us the latest as far as the
survey that really checks the temperature of Americans when it
comes to how the president is handling things. And there's
a lot of stuff going on that I'm sure people
have some genuine reaction to, but the Epstein files, that
is one that I'm sure what I see on social
(11:19):
media is absolutely.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
It doesn't represent how everybody feels.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
In fact, I need to remind myself of that it
more often because a lot of people just don't get
caught up in that because they just I mean, what
are they what are they going to do to change it?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I mean, it's one thing to demand and expect transparency
on certain things, and I don't think anybody out there
would with a straight face, would say that they encourage
that we protect people who harm children. But I can
relate to those that live in a world where they
deal with everything that comes their way, with the stress
that they have at work, the responsibility they have with children,
(11:54):
and then just the realization that, like, what am I
going to do to change it?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You know?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
So that may be frowned upon to share that on
a platform like this, but I'm just just being real
with you. So I'm sure there's many that keep up
with it a little bit, but they're not letting it
consume them because what would they what good would they
get out of that. But the people who are into
it are really really into it, and they're they're frustrated
with Trump as far as just how we now no
longer are going to get transparency when that was the
(12:19):
expectation for a long long time. And maybe it's not that, hey,
you're not gonna get transparency. He's not just saying hey,
move on, nothing to see here. And it's one thing
for those who just want to see Trump crumble, clearly
they're going to get worked up because it's true were
the where was the noise from those people whenever we
were demanding to get transparency and the files to be
(12:41):
released when the previous administration was in office. That's another
one of the many examples of how both sides really
do the same thing a lot of times and just
don't realize it. But anyhow, what makes this I think
such a bad look for Trump? And really, for the
first time that I can tell, he's getting a lot
of criticism and there's a lot of folks disappointed in him,
(13:04):
that love him, some that you know, even make him
a big part of their personality. But eighty three percent
of Republican voters say the Epstein files should be released
and clearly it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
And I think because Trump and really those around him,
this was a big part of the noise from them
(13:26):
as far as making a change and wanting to be
back in office.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
And I think.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Regardless of what was said prior by Trump and jd Vance,
even saying you know, we're going to release the files,
that kind of stuff, even if none of that was said,
this would still be something that people would have a
reaction to. That's like, what the heck, Like, what do
you mean? This makes no sense. You're telling me there's
nothing to see here, nothing at all.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
It's a hoax.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
But I just think that the issue for Trump that
he clearly doesn't care about, because he's now saying that
Republicans who are bothered by their idiots, there's still But.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
So anyways, the fact that.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
There's already been a lot of fuel for those that
want to speculate, that want to you know, want to
make this a thing to where it's clearly a conspiracy,
there's been nothing that that makes them not continue to
be fueled by there's just there's there's you know, there's
there's something not adding up here. I mean, this was
This was Donald Trump years ago talking about something that
(14:30):
he now calls a hoax when it comes to the
Epstein stuff. And John, you can leave the music run
and if you'd like, this should play over that.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Uh Bill Clinton, nice guy. Got a lot of problems
coming up, in my opinion, with the famous island with
Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Nasty.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
You raised the question of Jeffrey Epstein in your remarks event,
and I think you've got a problem. The problem will
I I don't know, but that island was really assessful.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
There's no question about it.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Just ask Prince Andrew.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
He'll tell you about it.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
The island it was an absolute cess pool.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So it was a cesspool or it was a hoax.
I mean, I guess he could always say, well he
later learned that it was a hoax, but.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Nobody's believing that.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And I'm not even insinuating any specific thing here. I'm
not alleging anything. I just know that none of this
is actually adding up and making sense. And there's been
a clear change in what you wanted to do with
this entire Epstein situation, and that's just going to make
people question, Well, somebody's covering up something, all right, let's
get an update on trafficking weather right here, right now
on news radio a forty w BHS. It is Kentucky
(15:32):
and it's Morning News with Coffee and Company here on
news Radio eight forty whas Nick Coffee, that's me. I
mean I butchered that last weather, didn't I. I mean,
I gotta I gotta own it. I don't know why
I kept getting confused on the I kept saying tonight,
and I'd already let you know that tonight's conditions are
going to be low's in the seventies and we could
have some rain. But anyways, I'll be out of here,
(15:55):
coming up in about twelve minutes time, and I'll hand
it off to Scott, John and John and you'll be
in good hands. And I know Scott is planning on
playing a little more of the Shane Gillis sound from
last night, just because he had a lot of good jokes.
I thought, and I there's no way to prove this.
Maybe this is just what I believe. But the fatigue
has set in as far as just people not having
(16:15):
the energy needed to manufacture fake rage and fake anger.
And that's not to say that if you are genuinely
bothered by that, I'm calling you a liar. I just
I think we at some point it just turned into where, Okay,
what are you mad about? All Right'm gonna get MADT
to you, Well, what are we mad about? Let's get mad,
let's get let's get angry. And I mean, free country,
(16:37):
you can do that. But I just, I just I
think most people live their life to where they have
enough going on to where did it did the thought
of something that doesn't really impact you or affect you
in any way, like.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Why would you get well? Why would it consume you?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Like that? So again, I like to live in a
world where I constantly remind myself that multiple things can
be true. There are things that would be offensive to
some because of their specific situation, and they may just
be sensitive people in general. But then there's also things
that you know, yeah, that's you know, that's funny, that's
that's that's I could see how maybe somebody would be
(17:14):
bothered by that, But it's entertainment. It's not real. It's comedy.
And there are comedians who are legends and will always
be that really would have never been able to establish
themselves in their careers and entertain us the way that
they did if they were coming up in that business,
in that industry at a certain time when we were
(17:36):
so pc And again, everybody just had fake outrage. And
again I think you can say there's fake outrage out
there without acting like everyone is lying that they're bothered
by it. So again, both things there can be true.
Are you a Shane Gillis fan, John.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I'm not a fan in the sense that I like
listen to everything that he does, like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Same here.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I was really impressed with his show Tires that was
on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I just thought, I'm not seeing that, but I think
it looks funny just from four.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It's well done, and I haven't seen the second season,
but a lot of people said that it's actually better
in season two. So yeah, he's He's somebody that initially
I didn't quite get as far as why he was
so popular, but now I do same thing with Theovon.
Never understood why Theovon was was such a big name,
and then I started to consume a lot of his stuff,
and I'm like, this guy's I mean, I think.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
That is somebody I do seek yeah, yeah, And and.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I guess it's just our sense of humor everybody likes
what they like, but theolon to some people, it's like
this guy stupid, but I don't get it, and I
will laugh uncontrollably at certain things he says, just because
again he's right there in my wheelhouses, but as far
as what I found funny. So all right, we've got
another update of Trapping the Weather coming your way. Also,
we'll hit another sports update in about four minutes. Right
(18:54):
here on, there's ready to wait forty whas
So far, I'm in the clear as far as being
labeled a porch pirate if you missed it. I ended
up ordering something on eBay for the first time in years,
and then later realized, uh, oh, my address was my
old address. So thankfully the people who live in the
house now, their family's still there, the same people we
sold it to still live there, and I still know
(00:21):
that the gentleman who lives there now, and I reached
out to him and he's been great. Let him know
that this is probably one of a few packages that
are going to be coming and sorry, I'll get my
address changed, but is there any way I could, you know,
come bine and get these things that they're going to
be delivered to your house because of the address issue.
And he was totally cool that, yeah, no problem, no
big deal. He would let me know. Hey left it
on the porch and this morning at about four o'clock
(00:44):
in the morning. In fact, actually it was more closer
to three thirty now that I think about it. I
ended up making my way to where I used to live,
the old neighborhood, and without really thinking, I'm kind of
in a hurry, not really out of my way, but
an added stop. So I stopped right in front of
the house, didn't even turn my car off, opened the
door middle of the street, ran up to the front porch,
(01:06):
grabbed the box, and ran back. And then as soon
as I was getting on sixty five, I thought, Okay, yeah,
there's no scenario that that looks good. If somebody's ring
doorbell camera was activated in on, they're just gonna they're
gonna see that, and I would do the same thing.
They're gonna see it and say, that's somebody out here
stealing people's packages. And I'm hopeful that it doesn't turn
(01:27):
into a big deal on the Facebook group, which that's
a part I should.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Have maybe led with that.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I don't live there anymore, but I can't leave the
Facebook group of my old neighborhood because the drama is
just so entertaining. And it's actually been pretty light lately.
Used to be a lot more drama, but maybe this
is what gets people riled up. We got a porch
pirate and we got to hold them accountable. And I'm
hopeful that that doesn't happen. But if it does, that
the people who live there now will will come to
(01:52):
my defense and say, hey, it's not what it looks like,
but we shall see, all right. So the measles, Yeah, pikes,
we now know of one case here in Louisville of
the measles.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It was reported earlier this week. Mayor Greenberg did later.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Confirm that it is a young man and he was

is where he's believed to have picked up the measles.

to be honest, I admitted this yesterday. I mean, I
(02:51):

Speaker 1 (03:39):
So again, if you were at the Dixie Highway little
Clinic inside Kroger on Wednesday, July ninth, from nine to
fifteen am to noon, be advised. You mean, I don't
really know what you do other than go get you know,
I guess, just go get checked out. But I already
know if it was me, I would not even if
I had no symptoms at all, I would, in my
mind convince myself, oh here we got better say my
(04:03):
last good bias, because I have the measles.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I'm starting to feel starting to feel like.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I've got you know, is that a fever, little dehydration
would turn into me thinking I got one hundred and
three degree fever.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Running knows that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So it says that a rational also appears three to
five days after your symptoms begin. So if you are symptomatic,
they tell you to call your doctor before visiting and
to avoid further spread. So again, just be mindful of that.
All right, What I want to do coming up here
in just a few minutes, I'll reset the Shane Gillis
(04:35):
performance last night as he hosted The Spies, and I
didn't watch a second of it live, and I don't
even know who won a single award, but clearly a
lot of his jokes.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Have made their way to the internet.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And I'm maybe this is wishful thinking on my own,
but I do think as a society we have thankfully
grown fatigued of just being outraged about things that truly
don't bother or that many people. Certain people may be
more more genuinely bothered by certain things that are said,
which is understandable, but also, it's comedy, it's entertainment. Can
(05:11):
we not take ourselves so seriously? And I'm willing to.
I believe that this will play out to where there's
no cancelation of Shane Gillis and we just go back
to realizing, yeah, sometimes comedians are going to tell that line,
and maybe they cross it more often than they should,
but at the end of the day, it's it's not real.
(05:32):
It's comedy, it's entertainment. So we'll get into that. And
also one of the recent bills here in Kentucky, they're
already realizing they got to make some changes. That is
the bill that requires coaches teachers to not have any
contact with students. So again no surprise, Like any bill
like this, any big change like this, you're going to
realize quickly that, yeah, we're gonna have to make some
(05:54):
adjustments here. So we'll talk about that and a lot more.
It is Kentucky and is morning News with Coffee and
Company right here on News Radio eight forty WHS. We
are just a couple of minutes away from your next
check on traffic and weather, so stick around for that.
I'm sure a lot of you are getting your day
started and you want to know what it looks like
out there on the roadways. And luckily for you, we've
got Bobby Ellis who will give us all that important info.
(06:16):
Also will get the latest on the forecast with Matt Melosovich.
So the one of the new bills here in the
state of Kentucky was was very noticeable by those that
are in the education, in education meaning teachers, coaches, or
even if you are the parent of a student, or
if you're an athlete yourself, because it's for a lot
of folks it won't even be noticed. But those that
(06:39):
are impacted by this, it's a big, big change, and
that is that your high school coach is no longer
allowed to communicate with you directly outside of school. And
even you you know your teacher as well, but I
would I would say that if there is contact going
on between teacher and student outside of the classroom, I
would say more more often than not, that is the
(07:00):
That is coaches who who coach high school kids and
need to communicate with their team.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
So now you you.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
You know you can't do that, and obviously that's that's
that's a that's that's an adjustment. So it's sentate Bill
one eighty one. And what this does is it requires
traceable communication only. No private texts, no DMS, no unmonitored messages.
Players cannot take, you know, coaches can't call or text
their players directly. They can't even tag them or be
(07:28):
friends with them on any social media platform. So this,
of course is because there were more bad apples than
there ever should be, which there should never be any
bad apples. But obviously, with the way in which you
can communicate with anybody this day and age, teachers would
get it. You would become close with students and of
course cross the line that you can't cross, and that's
led to the state putting this this in place. So
(07:50):
JCPS implemented the rules starting June sixteenth, so staff and
volunteers can no longer text or probably message any of
their students. So the communication now has to go through parents, guardians,
or officials or i'm sorry, official JCPS channels like an
email that they set up. So what we now know
is that they're going to make some adjustments, and I
don't know what that is, but there is acknowledgment that
(08:14):
there's clearly some flaws, and it sounds like there'll be
an update to this exact situation in twenty twenty six
to clarify some things and probably loosen it a little
bit to where because again, not being able to communicate
with your players other than just calling their parents or
posting on a forum that their parents are a part
(08:34):
of I mean, that's a level of communication, but that's
that's archaic this day and age. All right, let's get
an update out there on the roadways with Bobby Ellis.
Also we'll get an update on the forecast with that Melosavich,
and then it's got to be back with another sports
update for us right here on New's Radio eight forty whas.
Thank you very much, John Shannon for those that are
(08:57):
that are just now joining us. In fact, anybody if
you've been with this since the beginning of today or
just now, I guess I haven't said it yet. I'll
be out at seven o'clock today, so I'm a part timer,
but you're gonna be in good hands with the crew here.
John Shannon of course, will continue to do what he
does with the newscast like you just heard, and of
course we have Scott Fitzgerald and John Alden running the
show the rest of the way. So I referenced earlier
(09:18):
a Wally pip situation which I knew of. I mean,
I've heard that since the time I think I was
in high school, and a yeah, I can it's coming
back to me. So I missed one basketball game ever
in my high school days of playing, and it was
not because of an injury that people typically suffer. It
(09:40):
was because I had an ingrown toenail, and at the time,
I mean, I was in a lot of pain. I
had to have not really an operation, but like I
couldn't play and I was dealing with pain leading up
to it. Long story short, there was no sensitivity towards
my injury, which I get it.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
It's a toe.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But if you ever had any grown toenail that you
know that like that's that's that's not something that can
I mean, I'm sure some situations are worse than others,
but like it can really really really hurt you and
make it to where you have to actually have like
an operation, which I didn't have to have it. Anyways,
my coach made a joke about getting Wally pipped, and
I didn't know what it was at the time. And
I referenced that earlier. When I'm out of here, I'm
gonna get Wally Pip because the company man John Alden
(10:18):
and Scott Fitzgerald and John Shannon are going to steal
the show and I'm not going to be needed, which
I hope is not the case, but I guess we'll see.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
But lou Garrick one of.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
The best baseball players of all time. It's related to
him because Wally Pip was the guy and he had
a headache and decided to take the day off, and
then they that emerged lu Garirig, who of course went
on to become Luke Garrick. So that was that's the
explanation there. Who And again, John, that's one of those
things that totally makes sense that you would not know
(10:46):
what that is.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I could want to ask.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yes, anyways, that's the explanation there. So, yeah, that was
in the thirties, I think it was, so yeah, long, long,
long ago.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
So we talked a little bit earlier with Rory O'Neil
and he gave us the latest as far as the
survey that really checks the temperature of Americans when it
comes to how the president is handling things. And there's
a lot of stuff going on that I'm sure people
have some genuine reaction to, but the Epstein files, that
is one that I'm sure what I see on social
(11:19):
media is absolutely.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
It doesn't represent how everybody feels.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
In fact, I need to remind myself of that it
more often because a lot of people just don't get
caught up in that because they just I mean, what
are they what are they going to do to change it?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I mean, it's one thing to demand and expect transparency
on certain things, and I don't think anybody out there
would with a straight face, would say that they encourage
that we protect people who harm children. But I can
relate to those that live in a world where they
deal with everything that comes their way, with the stress
that they have at work, the responsibility they have with children,
(11:54):
and then just the realization that, like, what am I
going to do to change it?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You know?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
So that may be frowned upon to share that on
a platform like this, but I'm just just being real
with you. So I'm sure there's many that keep up
with it a little bit, but they're not letting it
consume them because what would they what good would they
get out of that. But the people who are into
it are really really into it, and they're they're frustrated
with Trump as far as just how we now no
longer are going to get transparency when that was the
(12:19):
expectation for a long long time. And maybe it's not that, hey,
you're not gonna get transparency. He's not just saying hey,
move on, nothing to see here. And it's one thing
for those who just want to see Trump crumble, clearly
they're going to get worked up because it's true were
the where was the noise from those people whenever we
were demanding to get transparency and the files to be
(12:41):
released when the previous administration was in office. That's another
one of the many examples of how both sides really
do the same thing a lot of times and just
don't realize it. But anyhow, what makes this I think
such a bad look for Trump? And really, for the
first time that I can tell, he's getting a lot
of criticism and there's a lot of folks disappointed in him,
(13:04):
that love him, some that you know, even make him
a big part of their personality. But eighty three percent
of Republican voters say the Epstein files should be released
and clearly it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
And I think because Trump and really those around him,
this was a big part of the noise from them
(13:26):
as far as making a change and wanting to be
back in office.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
And I think.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Regardless of what was said prior by Trump and jd Vance,
even saying you know, we're going to release the files,
that kind of stuff, even if none of that was said,
this would still be something that people would have a
reaction to. That's like, what the heck, Like, what do
you mean? This makes no sense. You're telling me there's
nothing to see here, nothing at all.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
It's a hoax.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
But I just think that the issue for Trump that
he clearly doesn't care about, because he's now saying that
Republicans who are bothered by their idiots, there's still But.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
So anyways, the fact that.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
There's already been a lot of fuel for those that
want to speculate, that want to you know, want to
make this a thing to where it's clearly a conspiracy,
there's been nothing that that makes them not continue to
be fueled by there's just there's there's you know, there's
there's something not adding up here. I mean, this was
This was Donald Trump years ago talking about something that
(14:30):
he now calls a hoax when it comes to the
Epstein stuff. And John, you can leave the music run
and if you'd like, this should play over that.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Uh Bill Clinton, nice guy. Got a lot of problems
coming up, in my opinion, with the famous island with
Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Nasty.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
You raised the question of Jeffrey Epstein in your remarks event,
and I think you've got a problem. The problem will
I I don't know, but that island was really assessful.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
There's no question about it.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Just ask Prince Andrew.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
He'll tell you about it.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
The island it was an absolute cess pool.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So it was a cesspool or it was a hoax.
I mean, I guess he could always say, well he
later learned that it was a hoax, but.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Nobody's believing that.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And I'm not even insinuating any specific thing here. I'm
not alleging anything. I just know that none of this
is actually adding up and making sense. And there's been
a clear change in what you wanted to do with
this entire Epstein situation, and that's just going to make
people question, Well, somebody's covering up something, all right, let's
get an update on trafficking weather right here, right now
on news radio a forty w BHS. It is Kentucky
(15:32):
and it's Morning News with Coffee and Company here on
news Radio eight forty whas Nick Coffee, that's me. I
mean I butchered that last weather, didn't I. I mean,
I gotta I gotta own it. I don't know why
I kept getting confused on the I kept saying tonight,
and I'd already let you know that tonight's conditions are
going to be low's in the seventies and we could
have some rain. But anyways, I'll be out of here,
(15:55):
coming up in about twelve minutes time, and I'll hand
it off to Scott, John and John and you'll be
in good hands. And I know Scott is planning on
playing a little more of the Shane Gillis sound from
last night, just because he had a lot of good jokes.
I thought, and I there's no way to prove this.
Maybe this is just what I believe. But the fatigue
has set in as far as just people not having
(16:15):
the energy needed to manufacture fake rage and fake anger.
And that's not to say that if you are genuinely
bothered by that, I'm calling you a liar. I just
I think we at some point it just turned into where, Okay,
what are you mad about? All Right'm gonna get MADT
to you, Well, what are we mad about? Let's get mad,
let's get let's get angry. And I mean, free country,
(16:37):
you can do that. But I just, I just I
think most people live their life to where they have
enough going on to where did it did the thought
of something that doesn't really impact you or affect you
in any way, like.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Why would you get well? Why would it consume you?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Like that? So again, I like to live in a
world where I constantly remind myself that multiple things can
be true. There are things that would be offensive to
some because of their specific situation, and they may just
be sensitive people in general. But then there's also things
that you know, yeah, that's you know, that's funny, that's
that's that's I could see how maybe somebody would be
(17:14):
bothered by that, But it's entertainment. It's not real. It's comedy.
And there are comedians who are legends and will always
be that really would have never been able to establish
themselves in their careers and entertain us the way that
they did if they were coming up in that business,
in that industry at a certain time when we were
(17:36):
so pc And again, everybody just had fake outrage. And
again I think you can say there's fake outrage out
there without acting like everyone is lying that they're bothered
by it. So again, both things there can be true.
Are you a Shane Gillis fan, John.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I'm not a fan in the sense that I like
listen to everything that he does, like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Same here.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I was really impressed with his show Tires that was
on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I just thought, I'm not seeing that, but I think
it looks funny just from four.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It's well done, and I haven't seen the second season,
but a lot of people said that it's actually better
in season two. So yeah, he's He's somebody that initially
I didn't quite get as far as why he was
so popular, but now I do same thing with Theovon.
Never understood why Theovon was was such a big name,
and then I started to consume a lot of his stuff,
and I'm like, this guy's I mean, I think.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
That is somebody I do seek yeah, yeah, And and.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I guess it's just our sense of humor everybody likes
what they like, but theolon to some people, it's like
this guy stupid, but I don't get it, and I
will laugh uncontrollably at certain things he says, just because
again he's right there in my wheelhouses, but as far
as what I found funny. So all right, we've got
another update of Trapping the Weather coming your way. Also,
we'll hit another sports update in about four minutes. Right
(18:54):
here on, there's ready to wait forty whas
