Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning Kentucky, Na welcome in. It is Kentucky and
his morning news here on News Radio eight forty whas
Nick coffee with you, John Alden alongside, and if you
are just now joining us, welcome Happy Thursday. So I
hesitated earlier to use the words celebrating because it just
seems as if the root of the entire thing is
(00:20):
a tragedy and just an awful thing. Where Crystal Rogers
was murdered ten years go by, still no body, nobody knows,
there's no real closure as far as what happened to her,
but there was justice and that was something that people
were celebrating in Barchtown and in a big way. I
mean I talked about that a lot yesterday. I had
no clue that they actually had a parade, but it
makes sense just because it's a big day for not
(00:42):
only the Rogers family but the community. However, it's not over,
and as far as what actually comes from this, tough
to say, but if I had to guess, it would
probably be something that involves Nick Hawk, given the fact
that he and his mother Rosemary, have been listed during
(01:03):
the trial as unindicted co conspirators. But when you hear
the folks that were a part of this, rather be
detectives or prosecutors when they were talking to the media
after the sentence took place earlier this week. I mean,
I can't think of the exact words that we're used.
I'm trying to pull it up here, but I mean
(01:24):
to say that, you know, they're not in a sense
I'm paraphrasing, but to basically say that it's not over
yet and there's more coming something along those lines. I
don't think you say that without knowing that there's going
to be action taking place from law enforcement to hold
others accountable for this. So it's a weird feeling to
where you're happy for Bargetown and just them getting a
(01:47):
step closer to getting this behind them, and it not
being something that people think of at first when they
think of Bargetown. But again, it all came from just
an awful and sad situation with Chris Rogers family and
obviously her losing her life, all right. So the suspect,
Lea Bradford Ward. He is the thirty five year old
(02:08):
man who Shyvely police have been looking for after he
is accused of shooting two young women earlier this week
and as of now, he is still at large, and
Shavally ped had to come out and let people know
that despite what you might have seen on Facebook, he
is still not in custody and he is considered armed
(02:29):
and dangerous. So I guess rumors began circulating on Facebook
that he was taken into custod d and I guess
they saw that getting a lot of shares and picking
up traffic on Facebook, and the sergeant Jordan Brown had
had to address it saying he's not been arrested and
he's still at large, and just a reminder that he
didn't say this, but I'm sure, I mean, we all
(02:50):
need a reminder don't believe everything you see on the Internet.
Because of all the platforms out there when it comes
to misinformation, I feel like Facebook's the absolute worst because
there's so much of it and people that like I know,
and I will say, Facebook's probably the platform where you
end up seeing content. Whatever Facebook has with statuses and
(03:16):
links and pictures, videos, that kind of stuff, it's people
that you know for the most part, right, So, like,
I'm surprised people I know that I wouldn't assume are
this gullible or sharing things that quite literally came from
a source that just by the eyeball test, it's not real. Now, John,
you're younger than me, you're not on Facebook quite as
much as I am. But have you ever seen some
of these things that people share that you can just
(03:37):
look at it and know that that's not real. And
there's thousands of shares.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
There's groups that I'll share things too, for my Indiana
Sports podcast that are not trying to plug it or anything,
but like there's in those groups specifically, there's usually a
bunch of nonsense in there and it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
And I just I'm saddened by those who who don't
have the radar. It's it's one thing to fall for,
like a well orchestra. It's scam, but look at where
it's coming from before you share it. Read it the
actual article if there is one, before you share it,
before you just assume it's real. I mean, it's it's
It amazes me. And again, Facebook's the worst because I
(04:17):
think there's so much of it. But again, if you
look at like you could easily create a Facebook is
still very much intended for personal use. There are pages
right every social like there's a Facebook page for companies, entertainers,
that kind of stuff, and there's ways in which you
go about doing that and make it clear that you
are legit and you are real. But these pages that
(04:37):
just pop up that are that are brand new, created
yesterday and they got one link and it's to a
story that just reading it the headline makes it seem
not believable, like that's that's a clear sign that it's
not real. So again yesterday, Shabby police had to let
people know, despite what was being shared on social media,
the suspect is still not not in custody and he's
considered armed in dangerous. But there are other examples of
(04:58):
law enforcement having to get out and utilize resources because
they realized that something has just been made up and
it's picked up enough steam and people are running with it.
I mean an example, in twenty twenty three, there was
something that ended up generating thousands upon thousands of shares
on Facebook called Purge Night in Chicago, and it was
(05:18):
a fabricated post that circulated claiming that the Chicago Police
Department they were just not going to respond to crime
and they were going to, I guess take a stand
to say that they need more help, and I don't
know anything about what was going on at that time
in Chicago. Clearly it's a violent city, but like that's
first of all, it's not believable. But they had to
(05:38):
get out and say like, hey, not only do you
need to know that you're not in danger to the
level you might think you are, but also don't go
try to commit crime thinking we're not enforcing the law.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
We are.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And like, just the thought of law enforcement having to
do that is wild to me. But I don't think
we're far and it may already exist in some places
where there are dedicated departments within law enforcement agencies that
their only jobs and duty is to handle misinformation that's
out there because it's rampant and some people are just
too gullible and sometimes though it's easy to get god,
(06:11):
so just be mindful of that. All right, let's get
a quick time out. We'll come back after we get
an update on traffic and weather, and then coming up
at eight thirty, we'll be joined by Rory O'Neil and
he will give us the latest on a variety of things,
including the situation down in Texas with the floods, as
they're still looking for many people on accounted for, and
the death toll continues to rise unfortunately, So we'll get
(06:31):
to that in more. Stick with us right here on
News Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
It is eight.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Seventeen here Kentucky and this morning news on News Radio
eight forty whas Nick Coffee. That's me John on alongside.
We've got another update of sports coming your way here shortly.
Also another news update with John Shannon, and I do
want to let you know once again, if you want
to help out those that are in need of help
in Texas because of the tragic situation with the flood,
you can do it. Go to Community Foundation dot net.
(06:58):
That is where you need to go to make sure
that you are donating and your donation will go where
it needs to go. So the Community Foundation of Texas
Hill Country has launched the Kerk County Flood Relief Fund
to support response, relief and of course long term recovery efforts.
And we hear at iHeart are letting everybody know throughout
the entire day today and probably throughout the rest of
(07:19):
the week that if you want to help, and I'm
sure a lot of people do, community Foundation dot net
is where you should go, all right, So this is
something that I can't relate to, but it also got
my attention. So there are some with the iPhone that
use FaceTime, and they don't use it for the way
(07:39):
in which a lot of people use FaceTime. They do it,
I guess for phone sex. I mean, can you call
it phone sex? You're using a phone so yeah, but
like it's you know, I don't know, I was gonna
go down a path I probably shouldn't go down. But nonetheless,
if you are somebody that does that, maybe you're in
a long distance relationship and that's the best you can do. Now,
(08:00):
your phone may freeze when that's happening, because Apple now
has quietly rolled out a new feature that is basically
pausing what they're picking up, which is potential nudity on screen,
and it's a warning message that says audio and video
or pause because you might be showing something sensitive. And
(08:21):
users are then given too options in the call or
continue anyway via the on screen buttons that are there.
So just be mindful. If you were somebody that is
going to be updating to the new iOS twenty six
software and you are an active phone sex have via FaceTime,
you might have some interruption and look, you can quickly
(08:41):
bypass it, but come on, let's be real, that could
totally kill the moment, right, some shit really will I
mean you got to it could totally kill the moment.
I mean, and then you don't know, like maybe maybe
the screen ends up in a situation where you're not
showing something sensitive and it's more of an audio thing.
I mean, look, I again, I can't relate when it
(09:02):
comes to that, but I'm sure not all times on
screen is nudity being shown. And if every ten minutes
or every three minutes, you know, something ends up on
the screen that is in fact nudity, are they prompting
you every time? Like, I don't know how you. I mean,
gonna be tough to execute a good phone sex session
if Apple's popping up every now and then to warn you.
So just be mindful of that. John, you're an android guy.
(09:25):
Do they have something like FaceTime?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
If they do, I don't utilize it, And I don't think.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
That may be the only thing I can think of,
because I look, I'm very much an iPhone guy, but
I will acknowledge it's just because it's what I've always
had and it's become a preference. The phones quite literally
for the most part, can do everything the same. Yeah,
but I don't know, But I will say I'll give
a plus one point to Android if they don't have FaceTime,
(09:51):
because FaceTime it's certainly useful in certain instances like phone sex,
I suppose, with a visual component to it, and whenever
I'm traveling, facetiming my kids, like they FaceTime me on
my birthday during the commercial break earlier this week, and
that was that was awesome to see. But also, you know,
there are now people that just communicate via FaceTime, like
I don't. I don't. Not only do I not want
(10:13):
you to call me, I'd rather you text me, but
if you FaceTime me, I'm insulted. So anyways, I'm not
a big FaceTime guy, but certainly there are there are
there are moments where it is useful. But we got
a run update on traving weather coming your way. Also
we'll get a update on sports with Scott Fitstreild right
here on news Raadiway forty whs. It is eight forty
six here a Kentucky had his morning news news radio
(10:33):
waight forty whas we have just a few minutes left
and then it'll be the fellas Tony and Dwight set
to take over. So so, now, Tony, I think you
would agree. When it comes to sporting events in Louisville
that are big events, we do pretty well. You may
not see a full crowd at the Young Center when
Louisville's playing Popcorn State on a Tuesday in November, but
(10:54):
we do big events.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Well.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Is this golf event going on, the Cisco golf event
at their country club to that classify as a big event?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Just real quick?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
If Popcorn State comes in to play this year, can
we see about making them Kentucky colonels.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And I couldn't help himself. That's well done.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
And it's not it's not Cisco, it's Isco.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh I'm sorry, Okay, yeah, go Apologiessco is the largest
irrigation company in the world based here in Louisville, started
here by a family. And I'm embarrassed because I know
I have three close friends.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
When Popcorn and State came to Louisville, they were a maze.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Maze put a dollar in, put a dollar in, not
even nine o'clock. It's not even nine.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
He's just get him out of the way before no headlining.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
It was a little corny.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, if you watch the local sports guys, they'll'll it's
basically the samee X Invitational. Thank you for the coverage
of all the sat X guys uh that are playing
in it. But she's kind of as we'll just let
terry no kidding. But it is a big deal because
i'sco is a local company that started here. We talked
about how do we keep Fortune five hundred companies from
(12:09):
leaving Louisville. Well, this one was started here in Louisville,
so this is it's nice. Hirstborn is great. It's not
a typical PGA tour. But you're exactly right. The Mike
Tyson fight that was sold out that made millions of dollars.
We are a big derby, right, I.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Still forget that the Mike Tyson fight happened.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, sold out?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Do I don't you know the guy who put that
whole thing together this web?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Yeah, Chris Webb. We used to live in a really
crappy apartment together and my friends. No, Chris Webb lived
out of his car in the parking lot of that apartment.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
The apartment complex must be great if people are just
showing up to live in their car.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
It wasn't that great of a cart of a company.
Bay wait he took off from that. He just parlayed
and worked his butt off, and yeah, we bought companies,
wound up bringing Tyson.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It was unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
If I read with Garth Brooks, I don't know how
guys like a celebrity man.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
He is well with with that. Remember the Tyson fight again,
it's I forget that happened. That's one of the national
events in regards to sports that took place that brought
so many eyeballs to Louisville. I mean, it's especially considering
the timing of it with Tyson. But am I wrong?
Wasn't there some kind of controversy about like there was
an overseas company that sold they had they had the
(13:24):
rights to like sell the pay per view in other countries,
and they never shared the money. I know, I didn't
dream that. Yes, there was some kind of the people
who invested to bring this together never got the payoffs
and because of the different countries, like there was really
from a court standpoint, there was nothing you could They
got completely screwed.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah, they got soaked on the I'm gonna stay away
from all that.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
There was another thing. Chris Webb was supposed to get
the next two fights of either Danny Williams or Tyson,
and then somehow that contract got screwed.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Well, and he didn't get the Danny Williams. Isn't Williams stem? Yeah,
Danny Williams. Uh, well, who wants the Danny Williams thing?
Mike Tyson?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
After the guy beats Tyson, he was certainly what his
next couple of fives with Tyson.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I mean when you did you all watch the Jake
Paul thing?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Oh no, it lasted seven hours because buffering.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Remember I was the only one on the air that
was saying, he's going Tyson's gonna look awful. Yeah, this
is going to be an embarrassment. No, he's gonna kill him.
He's gonna kill Jake Paul. Tyson's eighty years old.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah. I thought it was sad the lead up to it,
and then it Occasionally there'd be something that would give
you a reminder of what Tyson was, But you know,
it's twenty five to.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Thirty years ago now.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
But I think even if he was in better shape
and Jake Paul wasn't that much younger and clearly at
least competent in what he does. I still think it
was going to be clear that Tyson was gonna lay
down because he was gonna get potentially life changing money
for his children. I mean it was it was professional wrestling.
I don't have ever asked you this, what are your thought?
Not that I don't think you consume his content regularly,
(15:03):
But Jake Paul, if anything, if there's one word to use,
that's undeniable successful.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Oh he's brilliant. The both of them are. These guys,
they're an easy target, right to make respects right brand,
They're an easy target. They know that they build something
out of completely nothing, and they made a YouTube channel
into millions and millions and millions of dollars, and then
they they kept adjusting along the way, right, even with
the hiccups of you know, filming in the suicide forest
(15:31):
and Japan and all that. So even past that, they
kept coming up and reinventing themselves. I have all respect
for them. And all these tough guys want to, you know,
make fun of them. Good luck that and those guys
are tough to me.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Again, it's from the ground up. It's a reminder of
how much like the content they do. They can go
in a lot of different directions and it always seems
to work. And I think there's when you were I
think what we see in everything they do is genuinely
who they are. I could be wrong on that, but
when people sense that they're P. T. Barnum, you attach
yourself to Yeah. Absolutely, I give them all the credit
(16:05):
in the world. Creating something from nothing like that has
got to be credited to them. And you can make
fun of them all you want with your again easy target,
but dude, they are successful and really smart, wealthy, wealthy,
wealthy unlike men and famous, wealth and fame. That sounds fun.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, that's what's that like. Tony Terry will be in
at three. We're gonna ask you
Speaker 1 (16:26):
All right, Tony Code up next right here on news
radio eight forty w h A S.
Good morning Kentucky, Na welcome in. It is Kentucky and

So just be mindful. If you were somebody that is
going to be updating to the new iOS twenty six
software and you are an active phone sex have via FaceTime,
you might have some interruption and look, you can quickly
(08:41):
bypass it, but come on, let's be real, that could
totally kill the moment, right, some shit really will I
mean you got to it could totally kill the moment.
I mean, and then you don't know, like maybe maybe
the screen ends up in a situation where you're not
showing something sensitive and it's more of an audio thing.
I mean, look, I again, I can't relate when it
(09:02):
comes to that, but I'm sure not all times on
screen is nudity being shown. And if every ten minutes
or every three minutes, you know, something ends up on
the screen that is in fact nudity, are they prompting
you every time? Like, I don't know how you. I mean,
gonna be tough to execute a good phone sex session
if Apple's popping up every now and then to warn you.
So just be mindful of that. John, you're an android guy.
(09:25):
Do they have something like FaceTime?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
If they do, I don't utilize it, And I don't think.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
That may be the only thing I can think of,
because I look, I'm very much an iPhone guy, but
I will acknowledge it's just because it's what I've always
had and it's become a preference. The phones quite literally
for the most part, can do everything the same. Yeah,
but I don't know, But I will say I'll give
a plus one point to Android if they don't have FaceTime,
(09:51):
because FaceTime it's certainly useful in certain instances like phone sex,
I suppose, with a visual component to it, and whenever
I'm traveling, facetiming my kids, like they FaceTime me on
my birthday during the commercial break earlier this week, and
that was that was awesome to see. But also, you know,
there are now people that just communicate via FaceTime, like
I don't. I don't. Not only do I not want
(10:13):
you to call me, I'd rather you text me, but
if you FaceTime me, I'm insulted. So anyways, I'm not
a big FaceTime guy, but certainly there are there are
there are moments where it is useful. But we got
a run update on traving weather coming your way. Also
we'll get a update on sports with Scott Fitstreild right
here on news Raadiway forty whs. It is eight forty
six here a Kentucky had his morning news news radio
(10:33):
waight forty whas we have just a few minutes left
and then it'll be the fellas Tony and Dwight set
to take over. So so, now, Tony, I think you
would agree. When it comes to sporting events in Louisville
that are big events, we do pretty well. You may
not see a full crowd at the Young Center when
Louisville's playing Popcorn State on a Tuesday in November, but
(10:54):
we do big events.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Well.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Is this golf event going on, the Cisco golf event
at their country club to that classify as a big event?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Just real quick?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
If Popcorn State comes in to play this year, can
we see about making them Kentucky colonels.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And I couldn't help himself. That's well done.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
And it's not it's not Cisco, it's Isco.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh I'm sorry, Okay, yeah, go Apologiessco is the largest
irrigation company in the world based here in Louisville, started
here by a family. And I'm embarrassed because I know
I have three close friends.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
When Popcorn and State came to Louisville, they were a maze.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Maze put a dollar in, put a dollar in, not
even nine o'clock. It's not even nine.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
He's just get him out of the way before no headlining.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
It was a little corny.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, if you watch the local sports guys, they'll'll it's
basically the samee X Invitational. Thank you for the coverage
of all the sat X guys uh that are playing
in it. But she's kind of as we'll just let
terry no kidding. But it is a big deal because
i'sco is a local company that started here. We talked
about how do we keep Fortune five hundred companies from
(12:09):
leaving Louisville. Well, this one was started here in Louisville,
so this is it's nice. Hirstborn is great. It's not
a typical PGA tour. But you're exactly right. The Mike
Tyson fight that was sold out that made millions of dollars.
We are a big derby, right, I.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Still forget that the Mike Tyson fight happened.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, sold out?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Do I don't you know the guy who put that
whole thing together this web?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Yeah, Chris Webb. We used to live in a really
crappy apartment together and my friends. No, Chris Webb lived
out of his car in the parking lot of that apartment.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
The apartment complex must be great if people are just
showing up to live in their car.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
It wasn't that great of a cart of a company.
Bay wait he took off from that. He just parlayed
and worked his butt off, and yeah, we bought companies,
wound up bringing Tyson.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It was unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
If I read with Garth Brooks, I don't know how
guys like a celebrity man.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
He is well with with that. Remember the Tyson fight again,
it's I forget that happened. That's one of the national
events in regards to sports that took place that brought
so many eyeballs to Louisville. I mean, it's especially considering
the timing of it with Tyson. But am I wrong?
Wasn't there some kind of controversy about like there was
an overseas company that sold they had they had the
(13:24):
rights to like sell the pay per view in other countries,
and they never shared the money. I know, I didn't
dream that. Yes, there was some kind of the people
who invested to bring this together never got the payoffs
and because of the different countries, like there was really
from a court standpoint, there was nothing you could They
got completely screwed.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah, they got soaked on the I'm gonna stay away
from all that.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
There was another thing. Chris Webb was supposed to get
the next two fights of either Danny Williams or Tyson,
and then somehow that contract got screwed.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Well, and he didn't get the Danny Williams. Isn't Williams stem? Yeah,
Danny Williams. Uh, well, who wants the Danny Williams thing?
Mike Tyson?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
After the guy beats Tyson, he was certainly what his
next couple of fives with Tyson.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I mean when you did you all watch the Jake
Paul thing?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Oh no, it lasted seven hours because buffering.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Remember I was the only one on the air that
was saying, he's going Tyson's gonna look awful. Yeah, this
is going to be an embarrassment. No, he's gonna kill him.
He's gonna kill Jake Paul. Tyson's eighty years old.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah. I thought it was sad the lead up to it,
and then it Occasionally there'd be something that would give
you a reminder of what Tyson was, But you know,
it's twenty five to.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Thirty years ago now.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
But I think even if he was in better shape
and Jake Paul wasn't that much younger and clearly at
least competent in what he does. I still think it
was going to be clear that Tyson was gonna lay
down because he was gonna get potentially life changing money
for his children. I mean it was it was professional wrestling.
I don't have ever asked you this, what are your thought?
Not that I don't think you consume his content regularly,
(15:03):
But Jake Paul, if anything, if there's one word to use,
that's undeniable successful.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Oh he's brilliant. The both of them are. These guys,
they're an easy target, right to make respects right brand,
They're an easy target. They know that they build something
out of completely nothing, and they made a YouTube channel
into millions and millions and millions of dollars, and then
they they kept adjusting along the way, right, even with
the hiccups of you know, filming in the suicide forest
(15:31):
and Japan and all that. So even past that, they
kept coming up and reinventing themselves. I have all respect
for them. And all these tough guys want to, you know,
make fun of them. Good luck that and those guys
are tough to me.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Again, it's from the ground up. It's a reminder of
how much like the content they do. They can go
in a lot of different directions and it always seems
to work. And I think there's when you were I
think what we see in everything they do is genuinely
who they are. I could be wrong on that, but
when people sense that they're P. T. Barnum, you attach
yourself to Yeah. Absolutely, I give them all the credit
(16:05):
in the world. Creating something from nothing like that has
got to be credited to them. And you can make
fun of them all you want with your again easy target,
but dude, they are successful and really smart, wealthy, wealthy,
wealthy unlike men and famous, wealth and fame. That sounds fun.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, that's what's that like. Tony Terry will be in
at three. We're gonna ask you
Speaker 1 (16:26):
All right, Tony Code up next right here on news
radio eight forty w h A S.
