Speaker 1 (00:00):
So the roads are a mess.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I'll echo what Bobby Elli's just told us in our
latest traffic update, and yeah, I'm looking here at the
cameras that is at sixty five north and south right
as you get close to right there Fern Valley area
about a mile so between the Okahona Fern Valley area
(00:22):
there on sixty five you've got an accident on both
sides that has causing some real issues. So on I
sixty five north, you've got the left lane and the
left shoulder and the right shoulder blocked.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
And then as you go on.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
The other side, sixty five south, in the same area,
you've got the left shoulder and the left two lanes blocked.
With an accident, I can't see a semi is facing
the wrong direction on the interstate and that's not good.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
So be advised.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You could have some delays in wherever it is that
you're going this morning. You may have already had some delays,
so be careful. This winter weather advisory started this morning
at four am and is expected to go up until
eleven am. We did hear that this wasn't supposed to
be something that lasts a long time, so maybe it's
doing its damage now and it'll be out of the way.
(01:12):
And good news is we are going to get warmer
temperatures today and that of course can only help. But
I'm sure right now as we're flirting with the freezing temperature,
we're sitting at thirty one right now, and of course
we know how cold yesterday was. The roadways were cold,
So be safe, That's all I can tell you at
(01:32):
this point, and stick around. We'll have another update coming
for you and just just a couple of minutes. Obviously,
this weather has caused a lot of schools to make
decisions and that has led to i'd say the majority
of the school districts in our region here have decided
to go in TI, but there have been some that
decided to close. And I'm sure by now you're well
aware of what those schools are. But if not, our
(01:54):
partners at WKY they've got an updated list that they
keep updating, updating as new dates come in, so you
can check it out there. But JCPS, this is a normal,
normal school day for them, no NTI, no delay, They're
they're operating as if it's just any other Wednesday. And
I don't say that with any kind of tone of
(02:15):
of judgment as far as they made the right or
wrong decision, because who am I to know what what
what would be the right decision. I've been sitting in
here all morning, and even if I was in their position,
I'm not somebody trained to, uh, to make those decisions.
But are you surprised, John Alden as I check social
media to see that parents are upset.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
No, not surprised. They'd be surprised if they were in school, though,
because if they were roads were bad enough and they
were in favor of being closed, you'd see the other
side being angry about it.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yep, yep, And that's uh, look, that's that's That's just
how it is. And that's why I always say, like,
I would never want to be in that position, because
no matter whatever decision that you make, you're gonna get.
I guess in a way it would be it'd be
good to just know that, hey, no matter what I
do here, I'm gonna get so at least you're prepared
for it, I suppose, But it would also be just
(03:04):
annoying to know that nobody at any point ever has
any awareness that you've got to make a tough decision,
and there's no there's no there's no decision. At times,
it's going to just make everybody happy. But hey, that's
that's with a lot of positions of leadership. That's that's
what goes into it. And that easily transitions here to
just the current situation that doctor Yearwood is in as
(03:26):
the JCPS superintendent in his first year, where he inherited
a financial nightmare one hundred and eighty eight million dollar
budget deficit that they're facing, which has led to them
to have to put a plan together pretty quickly to
eliminate one hundred and forty plus million dollars. And there's
no scenario when you eliminate one hundred and forty four
million dollars that there's going to be this plan that
(03:47):
is magical to where everybody's on the same page and
happy and thought you made the right decision. That's just
not reality. So last night, what's the first meeting that
JCPS had with the board and of course teachers Principles
parents showing up to let it be known that they
were against some of the proposed plans that we found
(04:09):
out about last week, and one of those they were
successful as far as getting it changed, and that was
the mental health element. So the big change from what
we saw last week as far as that initial plan
is that they're not going to cut mental health practitioners.
(04:29):
They are going to They're going to let me make
sure I've got this correct here. Yeah, so yeah, the
revised plan to cut mental health practitioners instead that the.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Where is it?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, so they're preserving.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Mental health practitioners and they're going to cut instructional coaches.
A lot of these job titles sound I wouldn't have
a clue what an instructional coach is. I mean, I
could probably take a guess, but I'm sure there's more
to it than I realized. So again, I can't imagine
there's that many positions at all with JCPS that you
would say, yeah, that's completely useless, let's get rid of it.
(05:05):
I'm sure there are some that you would say deserve
to be at the top of the list as far
as cutting and trimming, and it sounds like that's what's
going on right. I mean, when you look at the
Central office positions, three hundred positions being eliminated, that alone
is going to cut forty four forty four million, So
eighty percent of the cuts are from Central office Now,
(05:27):
one thing we did learn yesterday from some of the
teachers and principles there is that they they're letting it
be known that, despite how it's being worded, these cuts
are going to impact classroom. Now they're trying to minimize that,
of course, but they're letting it be known that, you know,
despite you're not seeing any teachers getting cut or anything
(05:47):
like that, these changes are going to fall to It's
going to be felt in classrooms. And honestly, I've not
heard anybody say directly that that wouldn't happen, but who
would think that it wasn't a real possibility given the situation.
It's also another thing you heard from Principles, at least
one principle, and I'm sure she was not just speaking
for herself. I'm sure she's not alone, but they were
(06:09):
they were wanting to be more involved in some of
these decisions, to have some input, because clearly, if you're
if you're there every day and you're you're you're dealing
with students, maybe you're you're you're running a high school,
middle school, whatever it may be, you would probably have
a better ability to tell you the impact of a
of a certain cut that you would know firsthand what
happens if this goes away. So there was never going
(06:30):
to be a smooth process here. That didn't get a
lot of pushback. But what I've been mentioning throughout the
morning is, let's just keep in mind here that this decision,
or all these decisions that are made by doctor Yearwood, Uh,
it has to be done and it has nothing to
do with his job. Now, he inherited this, he and
(06:51):
you know, someone said, well he signed up for it. Yeah,
kind of, but kind of not. I mean, he he
acknowledged that he was not aware of the financial disaster
and I'm paraphrasing, I'm not sure. I'm sure he didn't
use the word disaster, but he did not know the
actual financial situation in total whenever he took the job.
Now only he would know that if that would have
kept him from actually taking the job. But either way,
(07:13):
I'm sure it didn't make you any happier if elementary
school is closing and your kid goes there, or if
you're losing your job because you're in one of these
central office positions. That's tough to deal with, and I
feel for you, But just know that these decisions having
to be made has nothing to do with this guy
who's now trying to clean it up. All right, let's
(07:35):
get to a quick update of traffick in weather and
we'll see if we're making any improvements on the roadways. Obviously,
it's been a rough morning with a lot of accidents
causing some delays. So we'll get the latest from Bobby
Ellis right here at news Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
So.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Netflix claims that they have hit three hundred and twenty
five million subscribers. That is a lot, and that's a
nice reminder that they are still the king of streaming.
A lot of streaming options out there. I have more
subscriptions to streaming services that I need, but there could
be one show that is getting enough buzz and I
(08:11):
just I got to see it. Actually, that's that's now faded.
I don't watch as much as I used to. Uh,
but I've just I've been that guy that's like, yeah,
you know what, I'll pay the eleven twelve bucks a
month because maybe they end up putting out a show
in a few months that I really want to watch.
I don't really need them, but I still pay for
a lot of them. The only one I don't have
that I've that I've needed was actually during Christmas time,
(08:32):
I don't have Disney Plus, and I resisted. Yes, I
wanted to show my kids a Christmas movie, but you know,
we got other Christmas movies we can watch. What was
the movie I think it was? Oh, it was the
original Santa Claus.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Oh, okay, that would have been tough for me to
pass up. It's one of the best, right, Yeah, it's
a good one.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
So we waited forward to end up on one of
the channels we have on YouTube TV and just recorded it.
But even when you do that, you can't always bypass
commercials because you know, the technology is advanced to the
point where if you you know, if you do DVR something,
they're still going to get their advertisers some visibility within
(09:13):
and and you know, nobody, nobody necessarily wants that, especially
if you're into a movie. But that's that's that's always
going to be the case. We still are watching content,
we just watch it differently now and certainly nothing seems
time sensitive other than sports. So the TV industry has
has clearly and really just the entertainment industry, the content
(09:35):
industry is probably the best way to describe it. They've
made the necessary adjustments to still be able to exist
and make a lot of money and get their advertisers
a lot of a lot of visibility. But the growth
in the final quarter is what helped push Netflix. I
don't know what led to them growing so much in
the final quarter of twenty twenty five, but they had
a big surge there, and it could be people really seeing, Okay,
(09:58):
I need to make sure I get net because this
potential acquisition where Warner Brothers Discovery's assets are going to
all end up being under the Netflix umbrella, and you
might need to I don't know. Maybe you're signing up
to get a price that is decent now compared to
what you think it's going to be once they have
access to all this stuff that they may eventually get.
So again, Netflix just reminding you they are still the
(10:23):
king when it comes to streaming content. And in fact,
I've watched a couple of new shows on Netflix in
the last couple of months that were really good. And
because there's so much to choose from, when I pick
something on Netflix, I feel like it's more hit or mess,
but certainly a lot to choose from. All right, when
it comes to choosing where you want to trust or
(10:44):
who you should trust when it comes to taking care
of your pets. I can tell you Jefferson in the Hospital.
That's how you can trust, that's how you should trust.
They've been around for over forty five years taking care
of pets. Not only when it comes to routine visits,
just check ups, making sure these pets are healthy. They're
also there for you in an emergency, and emergencies happen.
You don't prepare for them. There's no planned emergency, but man,
(11:07):
when they happen, it's scary, and the fear that you
have for a variety of reasons is understandable. But you
don't have to fear about finding where you can go
to get help. That is Jefferson in the Hospital. They've
got a doctor on site twenty four to seven at
their Okahona location. And again they've been open for fifty
five I'm sorry, forty five years. So you can check
them out online at Jefferson Vets dot com or give
(11:28):
them a call at five Oho too. Nine hundred pets.
All right, let's get a quick time out. We'll see
if we're making any improvements here on the roadways. Also,
we've got a sports update. Come on your way, Kentucky
in action tonight. The game against Texas could be a
chance for them to get their third straight win and
what would be another quality one, So we'll see see
how it works out. Let's get to a quick time
(11:49):
out again. It's news Radiate forty whas. Just a few
minutes left and then we're going to hand it off
to the fellas, Tony and Dwight. They're coming your way
next year at news Radio eight forty wha. Tony, you
made it in, but you said it wasn't that bad
out there on.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
The roads are fine. If you need to go someplace,
just slow down. It depends on where you are because
if you look at the map, the red Remember what
we talked about last week was we always pull up
ways or Apple maps and they can tell you even
if I know the way I'm going, like I do
it every morning. I know I've driven this down here.
We've been down here three years. Every day for three years.
(12:24):
I know where I'm going. I do it because I
don't want I want to see the red line on
the road and to avoid it.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
And fortunately in Louisville, not every area is this way,
but in a lot of areas. You can get to
a place in a variety of different ways and it's
relatively the same amount of time. Yeah. Well, if you've
got one option that is typically not the one you'd go,
but it's the one that doesn't have a traffic night mare,
you can tell.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Yeah, And they started working on seventy one between like
Saint Matthew's and Brownsboro Road in downtown. They started working
on that about a month ago. So I'm not going
seventy one at all anymore. I'm going down Brownsboro Road
whatever downtown. But the roads are fine. I think we're
getting ready for Snowmageddin. I think yesterday they all said,
look calm down, we don't know what's going on. It's
(13:10):
not going to be that bad. And then the models
shifted north and now they're saying, oh no, no, it's
coming and Saturday and Sunday Orday.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, Sunday is looking like a day that if, if,
if what's tracking ends up getting hitting us the way
they're projecting, it could be could be bad and I'm
not looking forward to that.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Well, a couple years ago, do we all stayed at
these last year?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
It was last year that's the biggest snowstorm we'd had
and over ten years. Yeah, yeah, we stayed. We were
done there for like three or four days. We all
packed up and left on a Sunday night. They said
take off now because you're not gonna be able to
go anywhere, and they were right. There was nobody downtown.
There were huge snowdrifts. I wonder if it's that is
what my question is.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Well, we'll find out. Let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Before social media warmsted, what was what was the Was
there any meat urologist beef? Because there's some Twitter beef
between local mediorologists to where they're not going to directly
come at one another, but you know, one guy puts
out what he's projecting. Let's say he's really strong about, Hey,
this is what I'm seeing, this is what's going to happen,
(14:15):
and then within a minute or two you got somebody else,
not directly responding, but like saying, hey, you know this
guy's dramatic. It's not gonna be in the old days.
I'm entertained by Yeah, but it didn't used to exisit.
Social media didn't use exist. That's exactly right, and the
job changed. If you're a medirologist. Now your job is
twenty four hours a day. You used to go to
the station and do your bit and then go home
(14:35):
and that was it. Now you have to update people
on your Twitter and Facebook with new models and doing
all that.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
It's a twenty four hour job. But no, I think
there are beefs now. But before the weather guy was
the golly g really serious guy. He was a Mendoza,
That's who the weather guy was. So they were all
sort of friends. They were all like, you know, he
does some good models and all that. But here's what
I think.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
You know, what tells me that we need to be
on alert is when you tune into a TV and
you see.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
They've got the jacket off and the sleeves are rolled up.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Oh yeah, when the sleeves are rolling on the button
up shirt, that is like they've been looking at some
things and you got it. You need to be sitting
down for this information they're about to share with you.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
And when they say things like I don't say this lightly, yeah,
it's like oh.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Or like or there's a little bit of a tone
of like being serious. Guys, don't don't think I'm joking.
Snow m again Saturday and Sunday, let's
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Go Tony and Dwight coming your way next right here
at news Radio eight forty WHA s
So the roads are a mess.

So we waited forward to end up on one of
the channels we have on YouTube TV and just recorded it.
But even when you do that, you can't always bypass
commercials because you know, the technology is advanced to the
point where if you you know, if you do DVR something,
they're still going to get their advertisers some visibility within
(09:13):
and and you know, nobody, nobody necessarily wants that, especially
if you're into a movie. But that's that's that's always
going to be the case. We still are watching content,
we just watch it differently now and certainly nothing seems
time sensitive other than sports. So the TV industry has
has clearly and really just the entertainment industry, the content
(09:35):
industry is probably the best way to describe it. They've
made the necessary adjustments to still be able to exist
and make a lot of money and get their advertisers
a lot of a lot of visibility. But the growth
in the final quarter is what helped push Netflix. I
don't know what led to them growing so much in
the final quarter of twenty twenty five, but they had
a big surge there, and it could be people really seeing, Okay,
(09:58):
I need to make sure I get net because this
potential acquisition where Warner Brothers Discovery's assets are going to
all end up being under the Netflix umbrella, and you
might need to I don't know. Maybe you're signing up
to get a price that is decent now compared to
what you think it's going to be once they have
access to all this stuff that they may eventually get.
So again, Netflix just reminding you they are still the
(10:23):
king when it comes to streaming content. And in fact,
I've watched a couple of new shows on Netflix in
the last couple of months that were really good. And
because there's so much to choose from, when I pick
something on Netflix, I feel like it's more hit or mess,
but certainly a lot to choose from. All right, when
it comes to choosing where you want to trust or
(10:44):
who you should trust when it comes to taking care
of your pets. I can tell you Jefferson in the Hospital.
That's how you can trust, that's how you should trust.
They've been around for over forty five years taking care
of pets. Not only when it comes to routine visits,
just check ups, making sure these pets are healthy. They're
also there for you in an emergency, and emergencies happen.
You don't prepare for them. There's no planned emergency, but man,
(11:07):
when they happen, it's scary, and the fear that you
have for a variety of reasons is understandable. But you
don't have to fear about finding where you can go
to get help. That is Jefferson in the Hospital. They've
got a doctor on site twenty four to seven at
their Okahona location. And again they've been open for fifty
five I'm sorry, forty five years. So you can check
them out online at Jefferson Vets dot com or give
(11:28):
them a call at five Oho too. Nine hundred pets.
All right, let's get a quick time out. We'll see
if we're making any improvements here on the roadways. Also,
we've got a sports update. Come on your way, Kentucky
in action tonight. The game against Texas could be a
chance for them to get their third straight win and
what would be another quality one, So we'll see see
how it works out. Let's get to a quick time
(11:49):
out again. It's news Radiate forty whas. Just a few
minutes left and then we're going to hand it off
to the fellas, Tony and Dwight. They're coming your way
next year at news Radio eight forty wha. Tony, you
made it in, but you said it wasn't that bad
out there on.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
The roads are fine. If you need to go someplace,
just slow down. It depends on where you are because
if you look at the map, the red Remember what
we talked about last week was we always pull up
ways or Apple maps and they can tell you even
if I know the way I'm going, like I do
it every morning. I know I've driven this down here.
We've been down here three years. Every day for three years.
(12:24):
I know where I'm going. I do it because I
don't want I want to see the red line on
the road and to avoid it.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
And fortunately in Louisville, not every area is this way,
but in a lot of areas. You can get to
a place in a variety of different ways and it's
relatively the same amount of time. Yeah. Well, if you've
got one option that is typically not the one you'd go,
but it's the one that doesn't have a traffic night mare,
you can tell.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Yeah, And they started working on seventy one between like
Saint Matthew's and Brownsboro Road in downtown. They started working
on that about a month ago. So I'm not going
seventy one at all anymore. I'm going down Brownsboro Road
whatever downtown. But the roads are fine. I think we're
getting ready for Snowmageddin. I think yesterday they all said,
look calm down, we don't know what's going on. It's
(13:10):
not going to be that bad. And then the models
shifted north and now they're saying, oh no, no, it's
coming and Saturday and Sunday Orday.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, Sunday is looking like a day that if, if,
if what's tracking ends up getting hitting us the way
they're projecting, it could be could be bad and I'm
not looking forward to that.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Well, a couple years ago, do we all stayed at
these last year?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
It was last year that's the biggest snowstorm we'd had
and over ten years. Yeah, yeah, we stayed. We were
done there for like three or four days. We all
packed up and left on a Sunday night. They said
take off now because you're not gonna be able to
go anywhere, and they were right. There was nobody downtown.
There were huge snowdrifts. I wonder if it's that is
what my question is.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Well, we'll find out. Let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Before social media warmsted, what was what was the Was
there any meat urologist beef? Because there's some Twitter beef
between local mediorologists to where they're not going to directly
come at one another, but you know, one guy puts
out what he's projecting. Let's say he's really strong about, Hey,
this is what I'm seeing, this is what's going to happen,
(14:15):
and then within a minute or two you got somebody else,
not directly responding, but like saying, hey, you know this
guy's dramatic. It's not gonna be in the old days.
I'm entertained by Yeah, but it didn't used to exisit.
Social media didn't use exist. That's exactly right, and the
job changed. If you're a medirologist. Now your job is
twenty four hours a day. You used to go to
the station and do your bit and then go home
(14:35):
and that was it. Now you have to update people
on your Twitter and Facebook with new models and doing
all that.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
It's a twenty four hour job. But no, I think
there are beefs now. But before the weather guy was
the golly g really serious guy. He was a Mendoza,
That's who the weather guy was. So they were all
sort of friends. They were all like, you know, he
does some good models and all that. But here's what
I think.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
You know, what tells me that we need to be
on alert is when you tune into a TV and
you see.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
They've got the jacket off and the sleeves are rolled up.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Oh yeah, when the sleeves are rolling on the button
up shirt, that is like they've been looking at some
things and you got it. You need to be sitting
down for this information they're about to share with you.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
And when they say things like I don't say this lightly, yeah,
it's like oh.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Or like or there's a little bit of a tone
of like being serious. Guys, don't don't think I'm joking.
Snow m again Saturday and Sunday, let's
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Go Tony and Dwight coming your way next right here
