Speaker 1 (00:02):
Seven o five here on a wet Tuesday, as we
get this this morning started. I mean we've been up
and at it for a couple of hours. But if
you are just now joining us, welcome in. Thanks for
being with us. As of right now, we do have
some accidents causing some issues, but one that I was
worried about they got taken care of pretty quickly. But
right now, you've got to crash at I sixty five
(00:22):
right in Bullet County near right near that Shepherdsville exit.
So looks like that is yeah, that's that's head and south,
so if you are leaving the Louisville area heading south,
that's where you could see some issues. They've got the
right shoulder block there. Also there's a disabled vehicle on
I sixty five south approaching outer Loop, and from what
I can tell, it does not look as if there's
(00:43):
any major backups just yet, but as more people get
out and about, and of course you have to factor
in the rain, that could lead to some real issues.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
So just be mindful of that and we'll.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Have another update for you coming up in just a
few minutes with Bobby Ellis. All right, so the reduction
in violent crime is a good thing, right, who I mean,
that's maybe the most obvious thing I've ever said in
my in my broadcasting career. But what I'm getting at
is I at times, not necessarily me individually, but just
(01:15):
you see people met with dismissal when acknowledging that. And
I don't really know why. I think it's just because
if you've got your your mindset a certain way politically,
you you never would ever, you'd never give any credit
to anybody that you didn't vote for, maybe that you
don't want to be in in office as governor, mayor president,
(01:37):
whatever may be. But I think something that was said
last week by LMPDCHI Paul Humphrey is the perfect way
to word it. There's no finish line, meaning acknowledging that
there has been real improvement is not dunking on anybody
claiming that we have an issue with violent crime in
(01:59):
this city, something that I often say, probably should say
more because it can't hurt. Multiple things can be true.
It's not always this side that side thing. If somebody
came up to me and said, hey, pretty awesome to
see that there is a pivot to peace program connecting
(02:21):
gun violence victims and at risk individuals with mentors, and
that program has produced a sixty two percent drop in
shootings and homicides. That's great work, right, I mean, we're
doing better. It's getting better. Somebody came up and said
that's awesome. I would say, yeah, you know what, You're right,
(02:41):
that's great to hear. If somebody an hour later came
up to me and said, man, did you see what
happened last night? Another violent crime in Louisville And they said, geez,
seems like we've got a real issue, I would also say, yeah,
you know what, that's true. Both things can be true.
It's not a you want and they want and that's
(03:02):
what That's just it. It gets under my skin a little bit,
just because it's the ultimate realization that that people, at
least some people, the way they come off, it appears
that they've they've really lost any care about actually what
happens and what's good or bad.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
They just want to win.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
They want they want to be able to say that
their side is great, the other side sucks, you know.
I'm sure they word that a little differently, but that's
really what it is. So again, I think it's great
to acknowledge that there is good work being done, and
we are making improvements in this city as far as
violent crime. That doesn't mean l ANDPD can just take
(03:40):
the rest of the year off. I mean, that's I mean,
and again I thought, no finish line. It's the best way.
I mean, Hell, if you're going to start a foundation
about just continuous improvement when it comes to it, maybe
call it that, because that's just something that needs to
be acknowledged. Improvement is what you want, it's what you need.
It's great, it should be met with praise. But there's
(04:03):
never there's there should never be any mindset that, Okay,
job's done. Anybody claiming there's any problems with violent crime
in Louisville, they're wrong. I mean again, multiple things can
be true here. So I think that's good news. I mean,
violent crime down roughly twenty five percent overall, and that's
good progress.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So I think it's worth mentioning.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
All right, real quick, Mark Sanchez, this story, there's not
really any added drama to what we knew yesterday as
far as what took place. He's drunk roaming around downtown Indianapolis,
ends up in an alley way and what really is
maybe the oddest part of this is that he was
apparently doing wind sprints before this all took off. I
(04:44):
don't know if like he's thinking, man Daniel Jones, this
guy's really resurrected his career. I gotta put in some work.
Maybe I could be next. I don't know why he
would be. I mean, that just leads me to think
he was, in fact pretty sauce and he was. One
of the many charges that he has is of course
publican talk caation, I believe. But now what we know
is that his charges were initially misdemeanors, have been bumped
(05:05):
up to felony charges because of the severity of this
beating that the sixty nine year old man took. Here
is the prosecutor in Marion County, Indiana, Ryan Meres, discussing
these charges.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
We received an amended or an additional probable cause affidavit
this morning. Again, this is something that happens and virtually
every case here in Marion County, and with that additional information,
we have added more serious charges against mister Sanchez. At
this point in time, we have filed a fell in charge,
a level five felony of battery involving serious bodily injury,
(05:40):
which contains a penalty of one to six years. One
of the things that I'm going to stress to everybody
is that we are still in the early stages of
this investigation. Chief and his team have a number of
search warrants that are still outstanding. They're still tracking down
additional information. This is by no means the invest the
end of this of this, by no means means that
(06:01):
these are going to be the final charges that we
move forward with.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
We received, so I'd say the fact that this guy
has been beaten to the extent that he has, that's
why these charges were elevated. That's something that you wouldn't know,
I guess until you actually have a little time to
see what the damage was, what the doctors say as
far as his what his injuries are, and then you
may have these charges dropped from a felony at some
point if Sanchez is able to legitimately make a strong
(06:27):
argument that his actions were justified based off of him
feeling as if he's in danger. But yeah, not a
great look for really anybody involved. But the visual looking
I don't know if we've seen Sanchez. I haven't seen
any pictures anything like that. It sounds like he's okay.
But the guy on the other end, that sixty nine
year old man, he doesn't look look well at all.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
And I'm curious.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I'm not sure what the ages, but there when you
commit any kind of assault battery on someone that is
of a certain age, because of the if they're older,
it can actually be upgraded to a felie And that's
not here, but I think it may be in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Maybe it's seventy years old or older.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But the charge has changed to I believe a felony
because of the age of the if they're I think
they I don't know what the initial age is as
far as making you somebody that is elderly, but he
may have avoided another big charge because of this guy
not being quite old enough. But still we'll see what
Sanchez's defense is. Obviously, as you could expect, he won't
(07:26):
be calling any games anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
All right, quick update of traffick in weather. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
It's coffee and Company fuel by Thornton's right here on
news Radio eight forty whas. This is seven eighteen at
news Radio eight forty whas Coffee in company with you,
and we are fueled by Thornton's So, I'm sure whatever
it is that you do, your industry, your field, your
area of expertise, when you hear people yapping about it
(07:51):
without any clue of what they're talking about, I'm sure
it gets under your skin, right, somebody who just assumes
they know everything and then they start talking about something
that you actually may have legitimate expertise in that others don't.
It could be annoying. And this list here is one
that made me realize of all of us that may
(08:11):
just get annoyed about people thinking they know stuff they don't.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
How about doctors.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
This is a list of things that that doctors wish
people would stop lying about. This is a new study
from the University of Utah, and between sixteen and eighty
percent of adults admit they lie to their doctors about
lifestyle habits. So from skipping meds to fudging about exercise
or drinking, honesty seems to go out the window in
the exam room.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
According to many, why would you do that? I mean
just fear.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I mean you think your doctor's gonna, you know, call
the cops on you if you've been you know, you've
been boozing too much or something.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, that is.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Maybe it's it could be a lie that you just
want to live in your own world of delusion, that
maybe you're maybe maybe you're exaggerating a little bit, and
that's okay, But in fact you may see it that way.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But really it is just a blatant lie. I love
my doctor.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
I lean on him more than anybody in my family
when it comes to medical health. I mean, I'll talk
to my doctor about stuff before I'll talk to my
own family about it, just because I love my I
was fortunate enough to get a good doctor.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Well, and if that relationship is that strong, I mean,
that's the best of both worlds.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It's not just somebody who clearly is responsible for your health,
but also somebody that you trust because you know them.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
But the up to eighty percent of adults against say
they mislead doctors about their health habits. The common laws
here is not taking medication as prescribed, pretending to follow
a treatment plan, or exaggerating diet and exercise routines. So
why people do it, apparently is because of the fear
of being judged or lectured, embarrassment, or just wanting to
look healthier. I guess more than anything. You want to
(09:39):
sound healthier if you're just gonna I mean, your doctors
probably can. The doctors probably know the answer the question.
They're asking you to be honest with you when it
comes to some of these specific questions. But the doctor's perspective.
This is from a physician named doctor Katie Freeman. She
says they're not judging, they just need the facts to
help patients properly, which again that makes total sense. But again,
(10:00):
skipping medications is apparently the biggest one, and then lack
of exercise or poor diet. Those are things that if
patients are going to fib to the doc, it's mostly
about those two things. Third is alcohol, tobacco and drug use.
That one, at least, that one at least makes you know,
I could see why people may mislead because if they
(10:20):
truly do have a problem, that would be something that
like maybe they even maybe they even haven't come to.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Grips with just yet.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
But as far as skipping medications, I mean, I'd never
thought about this, but I'm sure doctors treat people every day,
and the reason they're there is because they gave somebody
a plan of treatment or medication and they just didn't
do it.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
That's and I can see that if your doc told you, look,
your salt intake is through the roof.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
You need to cut out your salty foods.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
By the way, did you go over to the fast
food join on your way out of the doctor's office.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And you say, oh, no, I well I just I
got a small value meal. I got it. Look the
coke was a diet coke.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And look, I'm not shaming anybody, but if they don't
know the if your doctor doesn't have the truth they can,
they're not going to be as as well equipped to
help you.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
No, that's it my doc.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Because my doc was key and helped me through my
weight loss and told me what I needed to do.
And because believe me, it was like having a baby again.
I got advice from every you know, everybody under the sun,
and it was my doc that I went to and
that's why I told me.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
They go what'd you do?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
When I said, don't worry about what I did. Go
to your doctor and ask them.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
How much was your doctor involved in sort of helping
you with what you needed to know to lose half
of your existence. Because Scott lost over one hundred pounds
over the over the last handful of years. I mean,
I'm assuming that was a that's probably something you were
pretty pretty pretty regularly talking about.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Was absolutely, absolutely, and he was wonderful. But the thing
about my doc was he wasn't pushing about anything. He
would wait for me to ask the questions. So I
had to do I was I had to do some
homework on my own. Sure, and I did so much
trial and error. Right, bingo, That's exactly what it is.
So don't lot to your doctors. They're gonna know, they're
gonna know anyway, your doctor. Let's get to a quick
update of trafficking weather. We've also got a sports update
(12:05):
on the way. It is seven to twenty three on
this wet Tuesday morning. Keep it locked right here again,
Coffee and company. Feel about Thornton's on News radio eight
forty whas.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Thank you very much, John Shannon.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I'm sure this is not a surprise to anybody, but
Brooks Houk has officially filed an appeal on the conviction
in the Crystal Rogers murder case. Again, I think most
expected that, and I believe even from the jailhouse phone
calls that of course, we heard some of them pretty
sure he mentioned that, or at least insinuated he was
(12:36):
going to do that. So this will always be a
story anytime. Today's just a reminder of that, actually that
anytime there's any type of update on this entire ordeal,
it's going to get a lot of coverage just because
of how long this case has been in the public
and the interest level. And obviously he's got a right
to an appeal, and we'll see how it goes. But
(12:56):
the reaction whenever it was of a guilt verdict that
came down and then of course a recommended life sentence
that that was met with what I felt like match
sort of my.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
My energy, right.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I didn't know at all what to expect because I
think most just assumed that clearly her he meaning christ
Roger's former boyfriend, I mean, despite any real direct proof,
no physical evidence, no body, I mean, everything else made
it clear that there was involvement. But I guess technically
without any physical, hard evidence, there's always the possibility that,
(13:34):
I mean, there's many cases where someone has almost just
you'd have to be a real idiot to think that
they're not guilty. But it's not what you know, it's
what you can prove and there was a lot of
proof that certainly I think implicated not only brooks House
but others involved that we heard a lot about during
the trial. But I was I had some deep worry
(13:54):
that maybe he would eventually, maybe he would e wold
end up getting off. And I think the celebration that
came down part of that was just because you know,
you were happy that justice was served for the family
and of course the community of Bargetown. But I think
also a part of it was because maybe some people
were like me in kind of deep down thought that
there was a chance that maybe because of the lack
of physical evidence, that he might be able to get.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Away with it. And he did not.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
And now he's got the appeals process here. So the
notice was filed on October sixth in Nelson County. He's
appealing the entire case, citing the judge's refusal to recuse
himself and the decision to consolidated his trial with code
defendant Joseph Lawson. So Joseph Lawson was since twenty five years.
He also filed an appeal last week, and then also
Steve Lawson, he was sentenced to seventeen years for helping
(14:39):
move rogers car so how was convicted in July of
twenty twenty four of I'm sorry, no, twenty five, not
twenty twenty four. But yeah, the ten day trial, I mean,
it featured more than fifty witnesses, extensive digital and forensic testimony. Again,
it had everything you could possibly have that made him
(15:01):
look very guilty, though there being no body, weapon or
direct physical evidence ever found. That's good police work, right,
working with what you've got and making the most of it.
And again that is that is exactly what they did,
all right. So we now know that the government shut
down is still a thing. I mean, I say we
(15:22):
now know it's been a known thing. But as far
as light at the end of the tunnel, a optimistic
way of looking at it, as far as just assuming
they'll eventually get this worked out, I mean, again, it's
not gonna last forever. But I and I don't want
to act as if I have you know, what do
I know, I'm just guessing like everybody else. But it
doesn't seem as with they're really being not a whole
(15:45):
lot of back and forth and really just no updates.
And it's not that we're going to be entitled to
every single update that is there. But clearly transparency is
going to be important when you've got the government shut down,
and I think there's not any issue with lack of
transparency here. I think what it's come down to is
just that there's not really any movement from either side here,
(16:06):
and with that being where we are, that does make
me think that this could mean it's not crazy to
say this could break the record of the previous shutdown
that took place, that lasted thirty plus days, and again
you started to see some real lingering effects. And that's when, again,
nobody's really gotten super uncomfortable with it just yet. And
I shouldn't say that, because I guess there are people
(16:27):
that have as far as people losing out on some
things that they've become dependent upon, so I shouldn't say that.
But it's not gotten to a level just yet where
you see, you know, like you did last time. There
were people in the state of Kentucky are that worked
at the prisons, the federal prisons here in Kentucky that
put up billboards demanding that Mitch McConnell do something to
help push this through and get the government out of
(16:49):
the shutdown.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
So we're not there just yet.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
But so it looks like I was trying to see
some of the hierarchy now that you brought that up,
because I heard you talking about earlier this morning about
what's next. The NANA Central services of course the first
to be shut down. You know, you have some IRS operations,
administrative office works, permits and licensing like passports, visas. It
looks like next is the semisential or partially funded services,
(17:11):
where some operations may continue. This includes federal courts, regulatory agencies,
the FDA, the EPA, the SEC. I thought the national
parks all shut down automatically, but they're saying some of
those could close down. And then the next level past that,
that's where you're going to start to see folks get
a little testy.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, And I think you know it's not just the
because clearly those who in this it's not I don't
say this debt to sound like I lack sympathy, but
it's just a known thing. Whenever the government shut downs,
if you have a certain job, you're going to be
impacted and you will be paid down the line. That
didn't make it any easier, But whenever you start to
(17:51):
have the people who may not even know that we're
on a government shutdown until they're at the airport and
it's hell on Earth. I mean, it could be that
regardless of any government shutdown. But that's when you start
to probably just hear a heightened frustration from everybody, and
you would think that that may help urge these two
(18:12):
sides here to get it figured out. But I just
think with where we are right now, I don't think
anything's off the table. But again, for the fourth time
since Friday, the Senate failed to advance either of two
funding bills after falling short of those sixty votes that
are needed. So when it comes to the partisan blame,
Republicans are pushing for a short term extension until November
twenty first, without new spending. Democrats insist on including health
(18:33):
insurance tax credit extensions, so hopefully they get it figured out.
On the Democratic side, you've got Chuck Schumer accused of
accusing the other side of refusing to negotiating called for
leadership talks with the president. So a lot of finger
pointing and a clear I mean, there are clear examples
of just a real divisiveness going on right now that
(18:55):
to me, at least maybe not in my lifetime, but
at least since I've been paying attention.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
This is an Aldheimer.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Well, because you start tapping, Once you start tapping into
Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, unemployment benefits, and veterans benefits, I
think they'll be primed it to resolve this before then.
I think I think the politicians know that they won't
let it get to that point.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
They'd be foolish to let it get.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
And they really you know, keep in mind, air traffic
controllers have been told to keep working without pay or
risk termination.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Well, if if that industry, those who do that band
together and strike, they got to do something, because I
mean shutting down, I mean not having anybody that's an
air traffic controller would would cause disruption in this country
at a high level.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Right.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Takes me back to the eighties when we had the
air traffic controller striking the eighties and air traffic was
nowhere near as hectic is what it is now.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
So to your point, yeah, we could have a problem.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, the Transporation secretaries. Transportation Secretary has already said that
there's been a small spike in sit calls among controllers
against the shutdown. And again that wasn't even something. I
was quite sure if that's a thing or not. But
it makes total sense, right, if you're not getting paid,
are you going to have the again?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
You will? You will eventually.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
And I'm not saying, you know, I'm not advocating for
somebody to do this, but if they do, I totally
get it. I do so quick break. We've got traveling
weather updates on the way as we rode along here
on a Tuesday morning. Stick with us right here on
news Radio eight forty whas
Seven o five here on a wet Tuesday, as we
get this this morning started. I mean we've been up
and at it for a couple of hours. But if
you are just now joining us, welcome in. Thanks for
being with us. As of right now, we do have
some accidents causing some issues, but one that I was
worried about they got taken care of pretty quickly. But
right now, you've got to crash at I sixty five
(00:22):
right in Bullet County near right near that Shepherdsville exit.
So looks like that is yeah, that's that's head and south,
so if you are leaving the Louisville area heading south,
that's where you could see some issues. They've got the
right shoulder block there. Also there's a disabled vehicle on
I sixty five south approaching outer Loop, and from what
I can tell, it does not look as if there's
(00:43):
any major backups just yet, but as more people get
out and about, and of course you have to factor
in the rain, that could lead to some real issues.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
So just be mindful of that and we'll.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Have another update for you coming up in just a
few minutes with Bobby Ellis. All right, so the reduction
in violent crime is a good thing, right, who I mean,
that's maybe the most obvious thing I've ever said in
my in my broadcasting career. But what I'm getting at
is I at times, not necessarily me individually, but just
(01:15):
you see people met with dismissal when acknowledging that. And
I don't really know why. I think it's just because
if you've got your your mindset a certain way politically,
you you never would ever, you'd never give any credit
to anybody that you didn't vote for, maybe that you
don't want to be in in office as governor, mayor president,
(01:37):
whatever may be. But I think something that was said
last week by LMPDCHI Paul Humphrey is the perfect way
to word it. There's no finish line, meaning acknowledging that

doing better. It's getting better. Somebody came up and said
that's awesome. I would say, yeah, you know what, You're right,
(02:41):
that's great to hear. If somebody an hour later came
up to me and said, man, did you see what
happened last night? Another violent crime in Louisville And they said, geez,
seems like we've got a real issue, I would also say, yeah,
you know what, that's true. Both things can be true.
It's not a you want and they want and that's
(03:02):
what That's just it. It gets under my skin a little bit,
just because it's the ultimate realization that that people, at
least some people, the way they come off, it appears
that they've they've really lost any care about actually what
happens and what's good or bad.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
They just want to win.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
They want they want to be able to say that
their side is great, the other side sucks, you know.
I'm sure they word that a little differently, but that's
really what it is. So again, I think it's great
to acknowledge that there is good work being done, and
we are making improvements in this city as far as
violent crime. That doesn't mean l ANDPD can just take
(03:40):
the rest of the year off. I mean, that's I mean,
and again I thought, no finish line. It's the best way.
I mean, Hell, if you're going to start a foundation
about just continuous improvement when it comes to it, maybe
call it that, because that's just something that needs to
be acknowledged. Improvement is what you want, it's what you need.
It's great, it should be met with praise. But there's
(04:03):
never there's there should never be any mindset that, Okay,
job's done. Anybody claiming there's any problems with violent crime
in Louisville, they're wrong. I mean again, multiple things can
be true here. So I think that's good news. I mean,
violent crime down roughly twenty five percent overall, and that's
good progress.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So I think it's worth mentioning.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
All right, real quick, Mark Sanchez, this story, there's not
really any added drama to what we knew yesterday as
far as what took place. He's drunk roaming around downtown Indianapolis,
ends up in an alley way and what really is
maybe the oddest part of this is that he was
apparently doing wind sprints before this all took off. I
(04:44):
don't know if like he's thinking, man Daniel Jones, this
guy's really resurrected his career. I gotta put in some work.
Maybe I could be next. I don't know why he
would be. I mean, that just leads me to think
he was, in fact pretty sauce and he was. One
of the many charges that he has is of course
publican talk caation, I believe. But now what we know
is that his charges were initially misdemeanors, have been bumped
(05:05):
up to felony charges because of the severity of this
beating that the sixty nine year old man took. Here
is the prosecutor in Marion County, Indiana, Ryan Meres, discussing
these charges.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
We received an amended or an additional probable cause affidavit
this morning. Again, this is something that happens and virtually
every case here in Marion County, and with that additional information,
we have added more serious charges against mister Sanchez. At
this point in time, we have filed a fell in charge,
a level five felony of battery involving serious bodily injury,
(05:40):
which contains a penalty of one to six years. One
of the things that I'm going to stress to everybody
is that we are still in the early stages of
this investigation. Chief and his team have a number of
search warrants that are still outstanding. They're still tracking down
additional information. This is by no means the invest the
end of this of this, by no means means that
(06:01):
these are going to be the final charges that we
move forward with.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
We received, so I'd say the fact that this guy
has been beaten to the extent that he has, that's
why these charges were elevated. That's something that you wouldn't know,
I guess until you actually have a little time to
see what the damage was, what the doctors say as
far as his what his injuries are, and then you
may have these charges dropped from a felony at some
point if Sanchez is able to legitimately make a strong
(06:27):
argument that his actions were justified based off of him
feeling as if he's in danger. But yeah, not a
great look for really anybody involved. But the visual looking
I don't know if we've seen Sanchez. I haven't seen
any pictures anything like that. It sounds like he's okay.
But the guy on the other end, that sixty nine
year old man, he doesn't look look well at all.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
And I'm curious.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I'm not sure what the ages, but there when you
commit any kind of assault battery on someone that is
of a certain age, because of the if they're older,
it can actually be upgraded to a felie And that's
not here, but I think it may be in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Maybe it's seventy years old or older.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But the charge has changed to I believe a felony
because of the age of the if they're I think
they I don't know what the initial age is as
far as making you somebody that is elderly, but he
may have avoided another big charge because of this guy
not being quite old enough. But still we'll see what
Sanchez's defense is. Obviously, as you could expect, he won't
(07:26):
be calling any games anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
All right, quick update of traffick in weather. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
It's coffee and Company fuel by Thornton's right here on
news Radio eight forty whas. This is seven eighteen at
news Radio eight forty whas Coffee in company with you,
and we are fueled by Thornton's So, I'm sure whatever
it is that you do, your industry, your field, your
area of expertise, when you hear people yapping about it
(07:51):
without any clue of what they're talking about, I'm sure
it gets under your skin, right, somebody who just assumes
they know everything and then they start talking about something
that you actually may have legitimate expertise in that others don't.
It could be annoying. And this list here is one
that made me realize of all of us that may
(08:11):
just get annoyed about people thinking they know stuff they don't.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
How about doctors.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
This is a list of things that that doctors wish
people would stop lying about. This is a new study
from the University of Utah, and between sixteen and eighty
percent of adults admit they lie to their doctors about
lifestyle habits. So from skipping meds to fudging about exercise
or drinking, honesty seems to go out the window in
the exam room.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
According to many, why would you do that? I mean
just fear.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I mean you think your doctor's gonna, you know, call
the cops on you if you've been you know, you've
been boozing too much or something.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, that is.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Maybe it's it could be a lie that you just
want to live in your own world of delusion, that
maybe you're maybe maybe you're exaggerating a little bit, and
that's okay, But in fact you may see it that way.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But really it is just a blatant lie. I love
my doctor.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
I lean on him more than anybody in my family
when it comes to medical health. I mean, I'll talk
to my doctor about stuff before I'll talk to my
own family about it, just because I love my I
was fortunate enough to get a good doctor.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Well, and if that relationship is that strong, I mean,
that's the best of both worlds.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It's not just somebody who clearly is responsible for your health,
but also somebody that you trust because you know them.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
But the up to eighty percent of adults against say
they mislead doctors about their health habits. The common laws
here is not taking medication as prescribed, pretending to follow
a treatment plan, or exaggerating diet and exercise routines. So
why people do it, apparently is because of the fear
of being judged or lectured, embarrassment, or just wanting to
look healthier. I guess more than anything. You want to
(09:39):
sound healthier if you're just gonna I mean, your doctors
probably can. The doctors probably know the answer the question.
They're asking you to be honest with you when it
comes to some of these specific questions. But the doctor's perspective.
This is from a physician named doctor Katie Freeman. She
says they're not judging, they just need the facts to
help patients properly, which again that makes total sense. But again,
(10:00):
skipping medications is apparently the biggest one, and then lack
of exercise or poor diet. Those are things that if
patients are going to fib to the doc, it's mostly
about those two things. Third is alcohol, tobacco and drug use.
That one, at least, that one at least makes you know,
I could see why people may mislead because if they
(10:20):
truly do have a problem, that would be something that
like maybe they even maybe they even haven't come to.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Grips with just yet.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
But as far as skipping medications, I mean, I'd never
thought about this, but I'm sure doctors treat people every day,
and the reason they're there is because they gave somebody
a plan of treatment or medication and they just didn't
do it.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
That's and I can see that if your doc told you, look,
your salt intake is through the roof.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
You need to cut out your salty foods.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
By the way, did you go over to the fast
food join on your way out of the doctor's office.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And you say, oh, no, I well I just I
got a small value meal. I got it. Look the
coke was a diet coke.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And look, I'm not shaming anybody, but if they don't
know the if your doctor doesn't have the truth they can,
they're not going to be as as well equipped to
help you.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
No, that's it my doc.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Because my doc was key and helped me through my
weight loss and told me what I needed to do.
And because believe me, it was like having a baby again.
I got advice from every you know, everybody under the sun,
and it was my doc that I went to and
that's why I told me.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
They go what'd you do?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
When I said, don't worry about what I did. Go
to your doctor and ask them.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
How much was your doctor involved in sort of helping
you with what you needed to know to lose half
of your existence. Because Scott lost over one hundred pounds
over the over the last handful of years. I mean,
I'm assuming that was a that's probably something you were
pretty pretty pretty regularly talking about.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Was absolutely, absolutely, and he was wonderful. But the thing
about my doc was he wasn't pushing about anything. He
would wait for me to ask the questions. So I
had to do I was I had to do some
homework on my own. Sure, and I did so much
trial and error. Right, bingo, That's exactly what it is.
So don't lot to your doctors. They're gonna know, they're
gonna know anyway, your doctor. Let's get to a quick
update of trafficking weather. We've also got a sports update
(12:05):
on the way. It is seven to twenty three on
this wet Tuesday morning. Keep it locked right here again,
Coffee and company. Feel about Thornton's on News radio eight
forty whas.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Thank you very much, John Shannon.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I'm sure this is not a surprise to anybody, but
Brooks Houk has officially filed an appeal on the conviction
in the Crystal Rogers murder case. Again, I think most
expected that, and I believe even from the jailhouse phone
calls that of course, we heard some of them pretty
sure he mentioned that, or at least insinuated he was
(12:36):
going to do that. So this will always be a
story anytime. Today's just a reminder of that, actually that
anytime there's any type of update on this entire ordeal,
it's going to get a lot of coverage just because
of how long this case has been in the public
and the interest level. And obviously he's got a right
to an appeal, and we'll see how it goes. But
(12:56):
the reaction whenever it was of a guilt verdict that
came down and then of course a recommended life sentence
that that was met with what I felt like match
sort of my.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
My energy, right.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I didn't know at all what to expect because I
think most just assumed that clearly her he meaning christ
Roger's former boyfriend, I mean, despite any real direct proof,
no physical evidence, no body, I mean, everything else made
it clear that there was involvement. But I guess technically
without any physical, hard evidence, there's always the possibility that,
(13:34):
I mean, there's many cases where someone has almost just
you'd have to be a real idiot to think that
they're not guilty. But it's not what you know, it's
what you can prove and there was a lot of
proof that certainly I think implicated not only brooks House
but others involved that we heard a lot about during
the trial. But I was I had some deep worry
(13:54):
that maybe he would eventually, maybe he would e wold
end up getting off. And I think the celebration that
came down part of that was just because you know,
you were happy that justice was served for the family
and of course the community of Bargetown. But I think
also a part of it was because maybe some people
were like me in kind of deep down thought that
there was a chance that maybe because of the lack
of physical evidence, that he might be able to get.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Away with it. And he did not.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
And now he's got the appeals process here. So the
notice was filed on October sixth in Nelson County. He's
appealing the entire case, citing the judge's refusal to recuse
himself and the decision to consolidated his trial with code
defendant Joseph Lawson. So Joseph Lawson was since twenty five years.
He also filed an appeal last week, and then also
Steve Lawson, he was sentenced to seventeen years for helping
(14:39):
move rogers car so how was convicted in July of
twenty twenty four of I'm sorry, no, twenty five, not
twenty twenty four. But yeah, the ten day trial, I mean,
it featured more than fifty witnesses, extensive digital and forensic testimony. Again,
it had everything you could possibly have that made him
(15:01):
look very guilty, though there being no body, weapon or
direct physical evidence ever found. That's good police work, right,
working with what you've got and making the most of it.
And again that is that is exactly what they did,
all right. So we now know that the government shut
down is still a thing. I mean, I say we
(15:22):
now know it's been a known thing. But as far
as light at the end of the tunnel, a optimistic
way of looking at it, as far as just assuming
they'll eventually get this worked out, I mean, again, it's
not gonna last forever. But I and I don't want
to act as if I have you know, what do
I know, I'm just guessing like everybody else. But it
doesn't seem as with they're really being not a whole
(15:45):
lot of back and forth and really just no updates.
And it's not that we're going to be entitled to
every single update that is there. But clearly transparency is
going to be important when you've got the government shut down,
and I think there's not any issue with lack of
transparency here. I think what it's come down to is
just that there's not really any movement from either side here,
(16:06):
and with that being where we are, that does make
me think that this could mean it's not crazy to
say this could break the record of the previous shutdown
that took place, that lasted thirty plus days, and again
you started to see some real lingering effects. And that's when, again,
nobody's really gotten super uncomfortable with it just yet. And
I shouldn't say that, because I guess there are people
(16:27):
that have as far as people losing out on some
things that they've become dependent upon, so I shouldn't say that.
But it's not gotten to a level just yet where
you see, you know, like you did last time. There
were people in the state of Kentucky are that worked
at the prisons, the federal prisons here in Kentucky that
put up billboards demanding that Mitch McConnell do something to
help push this through and get the government out of
(16:49):
the shutdown.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
So we're not there just yet.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
But so it looks like I was trying to see
some of the hierarchy now that you brought that up,
because I heard you talking about earlier this morning about
what's next. The NANA Central services of course the first
to be shut down. You know, you have some IRS operations,
administrative office works, permits and licensing like passports, visas. It
looks like next is the semisential or partially funded services,
(17:11):
where some operations may continue. This includes federal courts, regulatory agencies,
the FDA, the EPA, the SEC. I thought the national
parks all shut down automatically, but they're saying some of
those could close down. And then the next level past that,
that's where you're going to start to see folks get
a little testy.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, And I think you know it's not just the
because clearly those who in this it's not I don't
say this debt to sound like I lack sympathy, but
it's just a known thing. Whenever the government shut downs,
if you have a certain job, you're going to be
impacted and you will be paid down the line. That
didn't make it any easier, But whenever you start to
(17:51):
have the people who may not even know that we're
on a government shutdown until they're at the airport and
it's hell on Earth. I mean, it could be that
regardless of any government shutdown. But that's when you start
to probably just hear a heightened frustration from everybody, and
you would think that that may help urge these two
(18:12):
sides here to get it figured out. But I just
think with where we are right now, I don't think
anything's off the table. But again, for the fourth time
since Friday, the Senate failed to advance either of two
funding bills after falling short of those sixty votes that
are needed. So when it comes to the partisan blame,
Republicans are pushing for a short term extension until November
twenty first, without new spending. Democrats insist on including health
(18:33):
insurance tax credit extensions, so hopefully they get it figured out.
On the Democratic side, you've got Chuck Schumer accused of
accusing the other side of refusing to negotiating called for
leadership talks with the president. So a lot of finger
pointing and a clear I mean, there are clear examples
of just a real divisiveness going on right now that
(18:55):
to me, at least maybe not in my lifetime, but
at least since I've been paying attention.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
This is an Aldheimer.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Well, because you start tapping, Once you start tapping into
Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, unemployment benefits, and veterans benefits, I
think they'll be primed it to resolve this before then.
I think I think the politicians know that they won't
let it get to that point.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
They'd be foolish to let it get.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
And they really you know, keep in mind, air traffic
controllers have been told to keep working without pay or
risk termination.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Well, if if that industry, those who do that band
together and strike, they got to do something, because I
mean shutting down, I mean not having anybody that's an
air traffic controller would would cause disruption in this country
at a high level.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Right.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Takes me back to the eighties when we had the
air traffic controller striking the eighties and air traffic was
nowhere near as hectic is what it is now.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
So to your point, yeah, we could have a problem.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, the Transporation secretaries. Transportation Secretary has already said that
there's been a small spike in sit calls among controllers
against the shutdown. And again that wasn't even something. I
was quite sure if that's a thing or not. But
it makes total sense, right, if you're not getting paid,
are you going to have the again?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
You will? You will eventually.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
And I'm not saying, you know, I'm not advocating for
somebody to do this, but if they do, I totally
get it. I do so quick break. We've got traveling
weather updates on the way as we rode along here
on a Tuesday morning. Stick with us right here on
