Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is six oh five here at Kentucky Anda's Morning
News Coffee and Company with you here on News Radio
eight forty whas Nick Coffee.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
That's me.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
The full crew is here today. The company Manageohn all
In alongside Scott. That's Jerreedle'll be back with another sports
update coming up in about twenty minutes. And you just
heard the beautiful broadcast pipes of the one and only
Joe Lincoln, who was filling in for John Shannon, who
is enjoying some vacation. So we're with you here until
nine o'clock, getting you a set for a Monday, getting
the week started. And we were spoiled yesterday with a

(00:29):
unexpected day where it didn't get up to ninety degrees.
And I say unexpected because I mean the one and
only Matt Melosovitch told me that it was a surprise,
and he knows what he's talking about much more than
I do. And the heat will return today, but we've
got some cooler temperatures coming your way later this week,
which will be good not only for you know, I mean,
I can't speak for anybody but myself, but I'm certainly

(00:51):
a little bit over. I'm well over the heat, to
be honest with you. But also, we've got high school
football starting this week here in Kentucky, Ina, and that's
always exciting, and it's not on that you get to
this time of the year and they may have to
delay start times of game. I'm sorry, Yeah, delay start
times of games because of the humidity and the heat
index and all that. But it sounds like we don't
have to worry about that when it comes to this weekend. Now,

(01:12):
what you may have to worry about today is some
some closures that could cause you some some delays on
getting where you need to be. So the Young Center,
they're getting the roof upgraded, and I don't know why
that became news last week, but it did, and I look,
it's a big deal, I suppose, But the real big
deal from it is not just that there's going to
be a new roof, which, by the way, nobody sees

(01:33):
the roof of the UM Center.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Am I am?

Speaker 1 (01:35):
I picking on the youm Center here, John, because like,
I love the UM Center. It's a beautiful NBA type
arena that my favorite basketball team plays in, and a
lot of great events come to Louisville. But there was
a lot of a lot of coverage of a new
roof being put on the UM Center, and I'm thinking
nobody can even see the roof, Like we wouldn't know
that if the roof got replaced every day, unless, of
course we noticed the work. That maybe there was some

(01:58):
strategy here is getting that out of the way to
where when they tell us that this roof replacement roof
upgrade is going to create some lane closures, maybe maybe
that was maybe there was a method there, like okay,
we're kind of warning them that the new roof might
come with some potential issues along the way. I don't
it just seemed odd that became.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Of course, anytime there's lane closures and people don't know
the reason. If you're somebody like myself, all your wardering
is like what is the point of all this extra construction?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
So I get it, and yes I'm with you. Anytime
I'm inconvenienced and I'm delayed because of something, I can't
change it, but I have a unrealistic demand to know.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
What caused it.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Like this is awful to say, but whenever I'm in
traffic and I just assume that it's because of a wreck,
an accident something like that, not construction, and I end
up getting through traffic and riding you know, it's no
longer an issue, and all lanes are open and we're
moving along. I need that pay often know what caused
me the delay, and often times I don't get it.

(02:59):
And sometimes I feel like a real a real jerk,
because I'll end up seeing that it's somebody in a
minor fender bender. And then I'll see somebody I mean this, this,
This hasn't happened to me in a while, but I'm
sure others have had the same situation where somebody just
their car broke down in the middle lane of an
interstate and like that has caused a huge issue, and
there's nothing they can do other than wait for assistance

(03:20):
to arrive and help them.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
And usually as mad as I am for being delayed,
once I get up to said situation, if I do
see it, then I'm like, Okay, well I was inconvenienced slightly,
but man, their days a lot worse than mine.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Now, Yeah, I'm terrified. Imagine if you had like children
in the car.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Oh absolutely, yeah, yeah, I've I've been fortunate to not
have a situation like that, but it can happen for
no rhyme or reason. And you know, people's cars just
have issues where they they they break down, and to
have that happen, like, let's just say you're in stop
and go traffic because of the hustle and bustle of
rush hour, and then all of a sudden, your car

(03:57):
comes to a stop and then it just doesn't go
and then I mean, I can't imagine the anxiety that
I would have just knowing one that, like, oh what
am I going to do? But also all these people
behind me are gonna hate me. But you know you can't,
you can't do it. I mean, it happens. It happens.
So anyways, this the um Center celebrating the fifteenth anniversary
and getting some big upgrades and one of them is
the roof. But it could cause some headaches for the

(04:18):
downtown commuters because a large crane is needed to complete
the reconstruction of the roof. So to make room, sections
of South third Street between River Road and Main Street
will be temporarily closed starting today through December. So the
parking garage entrances at both guld House Hotel and the
UM Center are going to be accessible and the closures
are going to be lifted during all major arena events

(04:41):
to avoid traffic chaos for fans. So again, this is
going to be some work in progress. When it comes
to events taking place at the M Center, they will
open it up, of course, to keep it being a
complete mess. Now, additional closures may come up as this
project continues, but if so, they'll be out in front.
I would imagine to announce in advance so people can
make can make adjustments.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
So there you go. All right.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
We have a story here in Kentucky that, of course
has gotten some national attention, and it is about a
bitter X who's been charged with felony criminal mischief for
damaging her ex boyfriend's vehicle. And I'll read the details,
and I can't be the only one that just all right,

(05:24):
what did this guy do? Like this can't just be
your typical Hey, we should take a break, we should
see other people, because this woman clearly is she's bitter
in a way that most aren't. But it's also led
to her becoming a viral story because of what she did.
We'll talk about it. Part of it includes pouring glitter
into the air vents of her ex boyfriend's vehicle, which that's.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Personal right, it's personal.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
All right, quick update on traving a weather coming your
way right here on news radio eight forty WHS. Good
Monday morning, Kentucky. And it is Kentucky. And is morning
news here coffee and company with you on news radio
eight forty WHA. So a Kentucky woman has found herself
behind bars. This is Madison County, Kentucky. I believe that's

(06:08):
just is that I know it's closer to Lexington than
it is Louisville. That's one of the places in the
state that I can't quite okay, meaning I can't think
of exactly where it is within the state. But nonetheless
it is in Kentucky. And this story, of course, has
gone national to an extent.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
But she is.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
She's behind bars after an unusual and destructive act of
revenge that she left her ex boyfriend's car total meaning
it is damaged beyond repair. The woman's name is Stephanie Carlquist,
and the charges fell any criminal mischief and on two
different occasions, July sixth and July twentieth, she damaged her

(06:48):
boyfriend ex boyfriend's vehicle by doing these things. She put
salt into the engine, she put glitter into the air vents,
she slashed the tires, she damaged and really destroyed the
windshield and rearview mirror, and she also damaged and smashed
the radio screen. So the estimated damages are twelve thousand.

(07:11):
It's more than twelve thousand dollars, so that car is
actually it's a total loss.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
It's totaled.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
And court documents say that she admitted to the acts
in messages, writing quote, the only thing I did was
put glitter in the air vents and hurt the windshield.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Oh and the tire.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
So she is being held at and maybe she's bonded
out since this story became news, but she actually has
an arraignment scheduled for today. And I'm just dying to know.
Is this more of a she just doesn't do breakups well?
Or did this guy did he do something that led

(07:52):
her to become I guess a version of herself, potentially
just because of how bitter she is about about said breakup.
And it's not uncommon. In fact, I have found myself
at times on TikTok seeing a video where someone is
either videoing the person in the act or or I

(08:13):
guess videoing the person in the act that they know,
meaning a boyfriend or a girl and more often, I
mean I don't I don't have any numbers to say
who does this? More women or men, But the videos
I've seen, it's more men videoing their girlfriends or their
ex damaging their property just to document it. I don't
see it the other way around that often. But because

(08:34):
on TikTok, just how the algorithm works, Like once I
watch one of those, then they feed me more, and
I have learned I kind of can't.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
I can't turn away. It's like a car wreck.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Seeing somebody do something knowing they're committing a crime, knowing
they're being videoed, and not having any care in the
world that they'll likely end up having to pay some
consequences for that. But I mean there's one that that
this guy was on the back falcony of his apartment
and he did not know I guess the woman. But

(09:04):
she showed up and looked around and just keyed up
a car all the way around, and I mean she
got caught. And not only is that potentially going to
be a civil thing where you know, you got to
pay for the damages, but you also again could be
prosecuted with criminal mischief and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Maybe she thinks it's worth it, depending upon what in
fact happened in this relationship. But only she would be
able to answer that. Glitter in the air vents, that
just seems personal, Like you turn on the car and
you just get blasted with glitter to the face. I
mean that just that's odd. I don't know what would
make you think to do that. But again, window damaged,

(09:45):
completely smashed tires, slashed, salt in the engine, glitter in
the air vents. So anyways, let's get an update of
traving the weather. Also, we've got an update of sports
coming up here from Scott right.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Here on news Radio eight forty.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Whas so far, so good for the Kentucky State Fair
the opening weekend, despite some real brutal heat, did not
keep many from making it out to the fair grounds.
In fact, it looks like the crowds were still were still.
I mean, I don't think they were impacted at all
by the heat. So that's really not that surprising, I suppose,

(10:20):
because you can get into areas and cool off if
you're at the fair grounds. But man, some of the
humidity that we've had lately, it's got me thinking, if
I don't have to leave the house, I'm not going
to do it. But if there's one thing I may
leave the house for, regardless of conditions outside, it might
be the State Fair, because that's just how much I
love the State Fair. So yeah, they said that the
opening weekend a big success. They had indoor and outdoor

(10:43):
attractions that brought a lot of people out there. So
the fair is awesome. I love it everything about it,
and it sounds like so far. The hot food items
are the jumbo hot dogs, which I guess those are
a little different than your typical hot dogs. Maybe they've
unveiled a bigger hot dog than what you typically get.
But pickle pizza and hot honey pepperoni pizza and a

(11:04):
chicken bacon waffle sandwich, and of course the donut burger.
That just I think of the Fair when I think
of the donut burger. If you, I'm assuming you've never
had the donut burger, you no.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Would never.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
I don't think I would ever have the desire to
eat a donut burger.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Ye, I don't need it, right Like I know people say,
trust me, it sounds weird, but you would be surprised
how good it is, I believe you.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
I just I don't need it. Right.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
If I'm gonna have a burger, I'll just use a
bun because I know that I like that.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
It goes along with things like deep fried Oreos. Yeah,
just eat Oreo.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
And it's not that I'm some health not trust me,
that's not the case at all. But there's certain foods
that if I just think about what it would feel
like as that hits my body like my arteries. When
I think of the donut burger, just have a rich
two donuts with a huge burger between it. Just like
that's a little much for me. Now I'm a sucker
for a good funnel cake. Yeah, oh that's not good
for either. That's fair food though, right man. That's that's

(11:55):
that's right right in the wheelhouse of what you just
consider a fair event type of food. And well, I've
not had any of this at the fair just yet,
because i haven't gone, and I'm itching. I may leave
here after the show and just go and walk around
by myself because I'm jealous of all those that have
been able to make it out thus far. But hot
honey Pepperoni pizza that has now become a menu item

(12:15):
at a lot of pizza places, and I don't know who
thought of it, but I want to thank them because
it's delicious. I've had different pizza places here in town
that have it, and I would imagine the hot honey
pizza at the Fair is really good now. Chicken bacon
waffle sandwich another item that I'm sure is popular, and
I get while people would like it, I just I
don't need it. It's just it doesn't you know, it's

(12:35):
a little much for me. I'm very I no longer
have the palette of a toddler like I used to,
as far as just you know, chicken fingers, chicken nuggets
and a burger plane like I. You know, I realized
my children order similar to what I've ordered the way
I've ordered food until my thirties. I'm a little diver.
I mean, I'm not exotic. I'm not trying any wild stuff.
But there's also certain things I just know that I

(12:58):
I don't like, certain foods don't like.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
For example, the bacon.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Cheeseburger really is as far as I'll go as far
as just like you know, I wouldn't even say like
getting crazy. But there's certain items that are exclusively good
that don't need to be together. And I think donuts
are great. Why do we need to put a hamburger
in between it? And again, do what you want to
knock yourself out. Clearly it's a popular item that many
people enjoy at the fair every year. It's just for me,

(13:23):
like I can enjoy those things separately. Man talk about
having fomo fear of missing out for those that don't
know what that is. Last night, Aaron Tipping, Sammy kershawt.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Hollin Ray right up your wheelhouse.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
It was the first time in this change for me
where I've made the move from afternoon drive to early
morning drive, where the show starts at five am, and
I've got to I've got to be up really early,
especially compared to what I used to have to get
up when I used to have to get up. So
I wanted to go, and I could have gone. My wife,

(13:56):
she is great, but she knew that she'd been away
for a weekend at a concert, and I'm sure she
didn't want to, but she wanted to me to be
able to go, and she was gonna get somebody to
watch the kids. But I just I made the responsible
decision that said I better not, because I mean we're
talking Aaron Tip and Sammy Kershaw. I don't know what
kind of night I would have had that would have
been wise for this early start to get this show started,

(14:18):
because I may think, Okay, you're gonna go enjoy the
concert for an hour, have a couple of beers, and
then Nick Coffee turns into Rick Coffee, where I've become
really just the drunk version of myself that has been
retired for the most part. I mean, he's not reappeared
in a while, and he doesn't need to. I've kind of,
you know nowadays, that doesn't even sound fun to me.
But what got me to say no, I'm not going

(14:39):
to go Two things. One, I knew that if I
was there, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy it
as much because I would have been thinking about, oh man,
I gotta get up at three thirty in the morning.
And that's really what I've learned is that Sunday's just
become those kind of days to where I don't do
much of anything, or at least I try not.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
To, because like I know that that wake up call.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Is gonna come early, and also usually I don't really
have interest because you know, I'm now into the routine
to where I get up every day and do this
and I love it. Wouldn't change anything about it. But
also this same crew that TRUO, I guess they're touring together.
They're going to be at Renfro Valley out in Rockcastle
County in October, and my wife and I are going
to try to get out there to see them, and

(15:18):
and that's a great venue too, so I'll be able
to see them again. And for those who are curious
why I'm a weirdo for a nineties country and I
guess I'm not alone because it sounds like they drew
a big crowd last night. And I'm telling you there's
become like a there's because of these guys are older
and they're not as in your face with social media

(15:39):
because a lot of them probably don't even know how
to use it. Because we're talking about, you know, artists
in their sixties and sometimes seventies. That's just different than
how music is consumed now to where like I can
see why it's appealing to people who grew up on it.
And I'm certainly one of those people who loves nineties country.
So if you went last night. I hope you had
a good time. I'm very jealous that I missed out,
but sounds like a lot of people had a good

(16:00):
time also. Real quick on the fair, they were reminding
folks about the chaperone policy. Anyone under the age of
eighteen must be with an adult twenty one or old
or after six pm on weekdays and at all times
on Fridays and Saturdays. So keep that in mind. You
can't just drop your kiddos off without somebody being there
to chaperone them at certain times, so just keep that
in mind. All right, we got another update coming your

(16:21):
way on the roadways. We'll also get an update on
the forecast from Matt Melosavich. As we move forward here
on a Monday morning on Kentucky and it's morning News
Coffee in Company with you on News Radio eight forty whas.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Had a boy, Thank you for that.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
IM not sure if anybody else was requesting Aaron Tippin
before seven o'clock in the morning, but I'll take it.
And he played it just because he's thinking to me,
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
John.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
All Right, it is six forty eight here a Kentucky
and his morning News Coffee and Company with you on
news radio eight forty whas if you and your partner,
your significant other, if you gossip together, there is studies
that tell you that your relationship is stronger than those
that don't gossip with each other. I don't know if
I could say that my wife and I gossip because

(17:05):
we don't really have anything to gossip about.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
But when we do end.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Up having the rare date night, you know, time away
from the kids, or just when we're having some time
together when the kids have fallen asleep and we're watching shows,
or just you know, just having some us time. And
I don't mean like in you know, an intimate way.
I mean just you know, whenever we actually can hit
pause on the chaotic life of having two young children
and just you know, just hang out and converse. I

(17:29):
wouldn't call it gossip, but maybe it is a level
of gossip to where put it this way, We're no
longer like in we don't run in like social circles
and have a big social life because we just don't.
We we're parents and that consumes a lot of our time.
And I wouldn't change it.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
For the world.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
And when I think gossip, I think of like school,
So I don't really know how we would gossip about stuff,
but like she'll tell me stuff about her work, her
work day and just what's going on, and I kind
of feel like that's some type of gossip and I'm like,
I guess an out for her to express. That says
here that University of California Riverside researchers track seventy eight

(18:06):
couples using a portable listening device. On average, couple spent
about thirty eight minutes a day gossiping, with twenty nine
minutes of that with their partner. Those who gossip more
frequently reported higher levels of happiness and relationships satisfaction. Gossiping
may help couples feel like they're on the same team,
building trust, intimacy, and connectedness. I mean, I guess I

(18:26):
just have a little bit of a disconnect as far
as what level of gossip are we talking about here?
Like I don't maybe I don't have a good feel
for what actually what is considered to be gossiping. Because
if you asked me, do you and your wife gossip?
I would say no, Like, what will we gossip about?
It's got to be like you sharing stories about Maybe

(18:48):
you gossip about friends that you have. But to me,
gossips like rumor stuff. How do you define gossip?

Speaker 2 (18:54):
I mean, as an adult, I feel like it's mostly
workplace drama type thing.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, gossip to me seems like very very seems childish.
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
But get I get the point, Like if you have
a healthier relationship with your significant other because of it,
you get that vent session out of the way. I'm
sure you feel a lot better after you go through
your said gossip session.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
And this is so when it comes to just examples
the type of gossip is it's not like mean spirited takedowns.
It's much more like light commentary about friends, coworkers and acquaintances.
Oh we do that all the time. Uh so Yeah,
maybe that's one of the reasons why I would consider
our relationship to be strong, because like if we if
we go out put it this way, like when we

(19:36):
go in like a group setting with friends and all
their kids, it's not like it's personal. And again, it's
not mean spirited, but I guess it's considered gossip when
we're like, oh wow, man, they really need to get
that in check because their kids terrible. I mean, it's
not personal, it's not mean, wouldn't say it to them
to their face directly, but like, I guess that's considered gossip,
and I'll admit we at times do that, So yeah,

(19:58):
I guess I fall in line there.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
But yeah, I think the word gossip. I think of
middle school. That's what I think of.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
All Right, we've got an update of trafficking weather coming
your way. We'll tell you how the roadways are looking
here on this Monday morning. Scott's back on another sports
update here soon right here on news Radio eight forty
