Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy Monday, Kentucky, Anda welcome in the eight o'clock hour.
If you've been with us throughout then you don't need
a welcome. You've been with us and we certainly appreciate it.
But if you are just now joining us, happy to
have you again. Kentucky had his morning news with Coffee
and Company. I'm Nick Coffee with you here on news
radio eight forty whas and as you could expect, the
big story today is from Friday when just an awful,
(00:22):
awful situation happened where a violent criminal was out and
free to continue to be a violent criminal and kidnapped
two women, I'm sorry, kidnap a woman and her two
children after doing a home invasion at their house and
then taking them with him as he attempted to rob
a bank. And just an awful situation all the way around.
And since this news broke Friday and we got a
(00:44):
little more information as far as just the situation, I
know I'm probably one of many that have just said,
how could you like? This was avoidable? This was preventable?
What person would make the decision to allow this this
criminal out on shock probation after serving very very very
(01:05):
little of a fourteen year prison sentence for you know,
being a violent criminal. This guy was was consistent, right,
We should have believed him when he told us that
he was a violent criminal, not with words, but with
his actions consistently, and that just it's it's insane to
think about how avoidable this this could have been. And
(01:27):
I'm thinking of who's I'd love to be a fly
on the wall when when when a judge is And
by the way, Judge Jess Green is the one who
made this decision, But just what on what scenario would
you look at this calculated risk and think that this
was one worth taking? And when I when I'm when
I mentioned, you know, who would have done this? How
could this happen? There's no way to know. Only only
(01:49):
the only the person who made this decision can truly
tell you that. But when it comes to the the
excuses that you hear from time to time when judges
make a decision, whether it's to give somebody shock probation
that maybe has been a consistent violent criminal, or maybe
just to have a bond situation that makes it very
easy for a violent criminal to find their way back
(02:10):
out into society. Trust me, it has got to be
a very very difficult part of your job. I mean,
it's a very important decision, and I do believe in
criminals being rehabilitated, but you know, the ideal candidate is
probably somebody who has no record, that probably on the
younger side, that has shown remorse, that has participated in
(02:33):
programs where they can, you know, rehabilitate themselves and essentially
realized they got that scared straight opportunity to realize they
got to clean their life up or this is what
it's going to be. This individual armand Langford, his attorneys
have claimed that he has a history of mental illness
and whatnot, and I'm not somebody that doesn't have compassion
(02:57):
for that. But you can't make this decision and not
realize that you are putting the rest of society in
extreme danger by allowing this person to be free. And
sure enough, it's now impacted a family for the rest
of their lives. Thankfully they're gonna live. But I just
can't imagine the helpless feeling that the father had knowing
(03:18):
that this I mean helpless of course is probably after
the fact, but nonetheless just awful. And again, awful things
happen every day. That's unfortunate, that's life. I hate it,
but it's true. This was avoidable, and I just I
would love to hear the rationale. There's got to be
something we don't know that led to this decision, because
(03:39):
it's just it's I can't quite make much sense of it,
and I'm willing to acknowledge there's probably a lot more
that goes into it than I'll ever know, but I'd
love to be I love to be educated and maybe
finding a way to where it could at least make
more sense, because it doesn't make any sense at this point.
And again, I'm not gonna act like the I'm not
(04:01):
gonna act like the the the decision here like it's
gonna be easy every time, because you may have someone
that you've decided to be really harsh with that would
have been a good oppor would have would have taken
that opportunity and changed their lives and maybe advocated that
others do the same thing. I mean, you'll never know.
But also let's be real. These people, if they're in shock,
if they're in prison, they're already being punished. Like it's
(04:24):
not like, I mean, the argument to get shock probation
is always going to be there, but it's not a right.
I mean, you can you can claim that you might,
you might get it, but it just doesn't have to
give anybody shock probation. So again, it just this was avoidable,
and it's uh, it's it's now something that won't take
place again. The new the New Safer Kentucky Act, you know,
(04:47):
had had that been in place, what a couple of
years prior whenever it was three years prior, I don't
know the timeline, then this individual would have never even
been up for shock probation because he would have to
serve eighty five percent of his prison sentence before he
could get shock probation. Well, for a while that wasn't
a thing. And there were violent criminals that have been
let out and they continue to be violent criminals, and
(05:09):
it's just it's i mean, not only is it awful,
but all this is avoidable. All right, Let's get to
a quick update on traffic and whether Bobby ellis wil
tell us how the roadways are looking this morning, and
also we'll get the latest forecast from Matt Melosavitch right
here on News radioaight forty whs. We are rolling along
here on a Monday morning it is Kentucky at his
morning news news radio weight forty whas it's coffee in
(05:31):
company with you. I'm Nick Coffee. Hopefully you didn't forget
about me. If not, I'm here to reintroduce myself. Happy
to be back. And I think that that was a
vacation that probably felt like I was. I was away
longer than I have ever been, which isn't really the case.
And as I say, often time's really however you perceive it.
(05:51):
But wouldn't you say, John, that's a good way to
have a vacation as to feel as if you were
you were away a while and you got you got recharged.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, that's the best way to do it. I'm going
that you were finally able to unplug. It seems like
back when you were doing sports radio it was almost
impossible to not be unplugged from everything for you.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yes, and most of that was my own doing. And
I will say not, you know, vacation aside. I now
just don't have to spend as much of my own
time just trying to be as plugged in and as
aware of things, because it's just not a requirement anymore. Yeah,
And I didn't realize that for a long time, probably
(06:29):
maybe at least a couple of years I was doing it,
and it was more so just because it was what
I was. It was my job to an extent, and man,
I could find worse work, right, But I think i'd
kind of lost a little bit of the energy for
that stuff. You kind of well, and I hate to
say this because it's going to sound like I'm saying
people who are into that are like childish, And it's
(06:49):
it's not that it's just I don't. I mean, I
kind of grew out of it a little bit, and
I you know, I got I got I got kids,
I gotta help raise that's a very pretty big responsibility.
But now you know it's it's But I think a
part of why I was able to kind of just
unplug in a way that I really haven't in a
long time on this vacation was because of you know,
I when I get back, there'll be new news to
(07:10):
talk about, and there'll be some things that I can
react to that might have gone on while I was away,
And it was a pretty pretty freeing feeling. Are you
someone that if you have been on a cruise?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I've not, but I think I would though.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, So the one thing that's appealing to me when
it comes to a cruise. This probably isn't enough of
an appeal to get me to actually go on a cruise,
but I like the because eventually you'll you'll find clarity
when you don't have your device, like initially, if you
have no way to check your Internet or check check
your social media and you have no cell service, no WiFi,
which I know, I know cruises oftentimes do offer a
(07:44):
Wi Fi package and whatnot, so you can't use it.
But I feel like you could not have a device
a phone, John, and if you were with people that
like you know you you you know, if you're with
your family, you would you could go a long time
without even noticing that you don't have it. I could.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
The only thing I think I would miss pretty quickly
is my ability to listen to music, like yeah, streaming
a Spotify that sort of thing. That's the one thing
that I think I use my phone for more than
anything else. And if I didn't have Wi Fi or
or regular surveys to use it, you know what I mean. Yeah,
that's it's not like you're just scrolling. I think it's
different than that.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Of course, like you know, music's therapy to a lot
of people. And I don't mean that to be I
mean to be over the top. I mean it is
and and that can be. That's a good way to
use you know, your your your device, and to use
technology to your to your advantage. And look, we clearly
are better off being able to do a lot of
things now that it's that's convenient. But also, like I
just as much time as I've spent on certain applications
(08:40):
on my phone, it's hard for me to believe that
that overall has been a positive experience more so than
a than a negative. But anyways, it was nice to
uh to get unplugged and vacation super important. I'm not
telling you anything you probably don't already know, but for me,
I was I needed to be around my family that
long and just kind of only be they if that
(09:00):
makes sense. And I don't mean in Florida, but just
with each other present, with you. Yeah, exactly exactly. And
I think with a lot of change going on for me,
especially with this big transition from sports to this, I
didn't even realize how much I needed that. So I'm
sure they were sick of me, but I enjoyed my
time with them. All right, let's get to a quick
update on traffic and weather. Bobby Ellis will get us
caught up on the roadways. We'll see how the forecast
(09:22):
is looking for Ma Melosovich. We've got another sports of
meat coming your way. And then Roy O'Neil set to
join us from NBC at eight thirty. Right here on
news Radio eight forty whas. It is Kentucky Anda's morning news.
Coffee and company with you here on news Radio eight
forty whas Back from vacation. Final segment, Shaken off the Russ.
You look good, Thank you. Come on, I feel bronze.
(09:42):
You are bronze. Yeah, I look like a like a
leather belt in the face.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
That teeth be shining, Yeah, that's what That's what fake
teeth will get you. Man.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Best decision ever made was to get my porcelain veneers done.
A couple of years ago. People ask me, you know,
how do your teeth get that white? Eventually they won't
be as white. They're still relatively relatively fresh. And it
was a good decision. But I did get a chance
to run a real case study as far as how
bright they get in the sun.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
But you and your wife have gotten better looking over
the last decade and a half or so. You guys
are doing a good job. You guys are doing Mercedes,
and you are doing great.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I'll tell you what. I wouldn't say that I had
a glow up because that would mean that I'm of
the belief that I'm a good looking man, and I'm
not necessarily saying that at all. But I go back
and look at pictures on myself from years back, and yes, do.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
You shave your head now because you used to have
the shaggy blonde frosted tips in high school?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Do I shave it because of that? Yeah? I like shame.
That's sounded like a real, just indirect way to make
fun of my old hair.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Exactly Do you have shame from these shaggy blonde I don't.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Miss it, and I don't really have much shame because
it was I mean, I wasn't the only one that
was doing it at the time.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Believe I've seen video of you go into the rim
and making these incredible shots and your hair.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
In your eyes.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
How the hell did you see and how many times
did your coach say, son, cut that damn hair.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
When whenever I went into the we had the Hall
of Fame uh class this past year that they put
me into, and the hair was referenced a few times
by myself and others, and you know, I did what
most do and just thanked everybody and talked about the
great experience. But I built up that I do have
one one complaint that is that nobody forced me to
(11:27):
cut my hair. Yeah, because that was a bad look.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
You should have done me a favorite. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
But now I just go. You know, at one point
I'll probably get insecure and it's probably already happening to
an extent as far as people think I have short
hair because like I'm balding hairlines good.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Uh oh you look bald? Ye yeah, yeah, you look
good bald too. Write like you're shaving. You're not bald,
you're just shaving. Yeah, do you look like a marine?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
First day, you know, this was probably within the first
few months of me being on seven ninety. I was
at the the I don't think they do it anymore,
but the Kentucky Football Hall Fame Golf Scramble. He did
the show live from there, and Howard Schnellenberger stopped and
I got a chance to the interview, which was really,
really cool. But as he's putting his headset on and
and I'm introducing myself to him, he said, young man,
(12:12):
that's an aggrossive haircut, and then asked me if I
was in law enforcement or military, and I was like no,
And then he's like a grossive haircut, And then I
realized what he was. What he was saying, Howard Howe
press conferences, that's something he would say, right, oh yeah, No.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
My favorite part was when he would go into the
press conference and they would tell him, you know, he'd
put his pipe in his back pocket and he thought
it was out, and halfway through a press conference he
would go and he'd jump up because his butt was
on fire.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So was he already an established character within the sports
world when he got here?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Clearly? Yes?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Who wore a three piece suit with a carsage, you know,
a flower fresh flower on the lapel? Like who did that?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah? His wife also being dressed to the nines and coaching,
yeah out there. That also wasn't something you would.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Imagine in today's big time football, the wife yelling when
when the offense will come out or the defense past
past past screaming and all leather outfit with a cowboy hat.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
That's something to see. Now, let me ask you guys this.
John Shannon's in here with us as well. Have you
all because I didn't know. I've only seen you with
your hair like this is your mullets coming together? John?
Has it always been that way?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
My normal haircut is a high and tight face. You
see your military guess. Yeah, you've always had the same
hair I had.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
No, I I had the feathered since I've seen you, Yeah,
I had Davids my canvas that I have that says
Venettess Louisville.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
That's got a little bit of flowing.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Well. No, No, I used to when high school hair dryer,
hairspray come on.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Man, wrong again? Oh dude, yeah, not here?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Not it?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Not here? Easy for me? All right? Tony and Dwater
covered you were next year on news radio waight forty
w h A. S.
Happy Monday, Kentucky, Anda welcome in the eight o'clock hour.
If you've been with us throughout then you don't need
a welcome. You've been with us and we certainly appreciate it.

have you again. Kentucky had his morning news with Coffee

But also let's be real. These people, if they're in shock,
if they're in prison, they're already being punished. Like it's

But now you know it's it's But I think a
part of why I was able to kind of just
unplug in a way that I really haven't in a

I when I get back, there'll be new news to
(07:10):

was a good decision. But I did get a chance
to run a real case study as far as how
bright they get in the sun.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
But you and your wife have gotten better looking over
the last decade and a half or so. You guys
are doing a good job. You guys are doing Mercedes,
and you are doing great.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I'll tell you what. I wouldn't say that I had
a glow up because that would mean that I'm of
the belief that I'm a good looking man, and I'm
not necessarily saying that at all. But I go back
and look at pictures on myself from years back, and yes, do.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
You shave your head now because you used to have
the shaggy blonde frosted tips in high school?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Do I shave it because of that? Yeah? I like shame.
That's sounded like a real, just indirect way to make
fun of my old hair.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Exactly Do you have shame from these shaggy blonde I don't.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Miss it, and I don't really have much shame because
it was I mean, I wasn't the only one that
was doing it at the time.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Believe I've seen video of you go into the rim
and making these incredible shots and your hair.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
In your eyes.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
How the hell did you see and how many times
did your coach say, son, cut that damn hair.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
When whenever I went into the we had the Hall
of Fame uh class this past year that they put
me into, and the hair was referenced a few times
by myself and others, and you know, I did what
most do and just thanked everybody and talked about the
great experience. But I built up that I do have
one one complaint that is that nobody forced me to
(11:27):
cut my hair. Yeah, because that was a bad look.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
You should have done me a favorite. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
But now I just go. You know, at one point
I'll probably get insecure and it's probably already happening to
an extent as far as people think I have short
hair because like I'm balding hairlines good.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Uh oh you look bald? Ye yeah, yeah, you look
good bald too. Write like you're shaving. You're not bald,
you're just shaving. Yeah, do you look like a marine?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
First day, you know, this was probably within the first
few months of me being on seven ninety. I was
at the the I don't think they do it anymore,
but the Kentucky Football Hall Fame Golf Scramble. He did
the show live from there, and Howard Schnellenberger stopped and
I got a chance to the interview, which was really,
really cool. But as he's putting his headset on and
and I'm introducing myself to him, he said, young man,
(12:12):
that's an aggrossive haircut, and then asked me if I
was in law enforcement or military, and I was like no,
And then he's like a grossive haircut, And then I
realized what he was. What he was saying, Howard Howe
press conferences, that's something he would say, right, oh yeah, No.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
My favorite part was when he would go into the
press conference and they would tell him, you know, he'd
put his pipe in his back pocket and he thought
it was out, and halfway through a press conference he
would go and he'd jump up because his butt was
on fire.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So was he already an established character within the sports
world when he got here?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Clearly? Yes?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Who wore a three piece suit with a carsage, you know,
a flower fresh flower on the lapel? Like who did that?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah? His wife also being dressed to the nines and coaching,
yeah out there. That also wasn't something you would.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Imagine in today's big time football, the wife yelling when
when the offense will come out or the defense past
past past screaming and all leather outfit with a cowboy hat.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
That's something to see. Now, let me ask you guys this.
John Shannon's in here with us as well. Have you
all because I didn't know. I've only seen you with
your hair like this is your mullets coming together? John?
Has it always been that way?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
My normal haircut is a high and tight face. You
see your military guess. Yeah, you've always had the same
hair I had.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
No, I I had the feathered since I've seen you, Yeah,
I had Davids my canvas that I have that says
Venettess Louisville.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
That's got a little bit of flowing.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Well. No, No, I used to when high school hair dryer,
hairspray come on.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Man, wrong again? Oh dude, yeah, not here?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Not it?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Not here? Easy for me? All right? Tony and Dwater
