Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, let's get it started. Show we good morning,
(00:02):
Welcome in, Happy Tuesday to you. It is Coffee and Company,
Kentucky and his morning news here on News Radio eight
forty whas Nick Coffee. That's me Scott Fitzgerald alongside John Shannon.
He is in the house as well. He'll give us
some news coming up in about twenty five minutes. John
all to be back with us next week and we
are ready to rock and roll. I need to go
buy one of those those powerball tickets, not because it
(00:26):
is in fact up to seven hundred and fifty million
dollars that is the powerball jackpot. But I hit nothing
but green lights this morning on Preston Highway as I
was making my way out of Bullet County into Jefferson
County to sixty five North. Nothing but green lights. And
then I got off the exit here at Brook Street
and took that left on Muhammad Ali. Nothing but green lights.
(00:50):
It means I'm I'm destined to be the winner of
again seven hundred and fifty million dollars jackpot. And the
payout for that, I believe would be if you just
took the the lump sum and uh and and won
this one, it would be three hundred and thirty eight
point six million.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I think I could. I think I could use some
of that.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
You could, like John said yesterday, John Jen Sai, didn't
live off the interest on it. Just drop drop it
in the bang and live off the interest. You'd be
couldn't go, man, Yeah you couldn't. I mean, I guess
you could, but yeah, especially in the economy. But I
was gonna say if you couldn't spend that much money
if you tried, But I'm sure you probably could, especially
considering how expensive things are. Honestly, if you just if
you just accommodate those with a handout, that money would
go pretty quick. You never think how you break the news,
(01:32):
Like let's say you won and you had to tell
your wife, how you would break the news to her.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
So I'm glad you asked that question because we talked
lottery yesterday to wrap up the show. And I've never
purchased a lottery ticket on my own. My wife will
buy it, buy them occasionally, and she'll certainly purchase one
whenever the jackpot is is this large. But I've never
really even thought about winning the lottery at all, because
I just and it's not because I mean, the truth
(01:58):
is that the chances of me winning it are very
very low. But it's just it's not really something I've
ever spent a whole lot of time on or thinking
about until recently, just because I'm fascinated by how to
your question, Like it's a life changing thing. Nobody would
deny that, and you really have no clue how it
would change your life for good. I mean, obviously you
(02:18):
wouldn't have to worry as much. But after our conversation yesterday,
I was just thinking, in trust me, if I was
able to win, I would I'm not trying to act
like it would be a bad thing by any means,
but there are so many things that you would eventually
encounter and find in situations you would find yourself in
that you would have never even imagined until you end
up being somebody that just publicly became insanely wealthy.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
You watch it, There'd be some headaches, but yeah, it'd
be worth it.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
It would you watch it? Specially that's out It's called
lottery ruin my life. It's kind of the flip side.
One gentleman talked about how you won it was a
former autumn acain. He said, people were knocking on his
door twenty four to seven, asking one not only for money,
but to fix their call once it got out that
he won the lottery.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
But you know it's I.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Did interview Chip Polston when he was with the Kentucky Lottery.
I did it for Kentucky Focus one day and I said,
how is that Chip? When you're working there in the
office and somebody walks into you and has, say, a
three hundred and fifty million dollar winning lottery ticket, And
he was like, it never gets old. You see these
people come into the office and they're just beaming from
ear to ear and their lives have changed. I mean,
(03:27):
to your point, nothing will ever be the same after that.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
And you don't know what it would feel like, what
would happen until you're in that situation, and very few
of us will ever be And said situation. Look, I
would manage to get by, and trust me, I would
prefer to be a lottery winner than not. Of course
I have to play in order to potentially win. But
I think the not only people who would give you
(03:52):
the stories of hey, you have come into a lot
of money, and man, I really need it because of
this hardship or that hardship. But there would be Pete, Like,
I'm sitting here thinking of, okay, how would you balance
keeping people away from you, meaning limiting people's access to you?
And there'd probably be thirty companies lined up to sell
(04:13):
you their service to do that. Like, there would be
so many businesses coming your way wanting to not just
say hey, can we get some charity, but hey, you're
now really wealthy. We know you used to be a
poor let me tell you why you need us. Like,
there would be just an unlimited amount of people wanting
access to you, and that would just be overwhelming. And
but again I'd live with it. I'd find a way
(04:35):
to manage.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You're exactly right.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And I buy a lottery ticket pretty much every Saturday,
Like I said, as mentioned yesterday, I walk in as
my favorite gas station. I go to the guy at
workstand the counter, super super nice. We kind of talked
for just a few minutes, not long, buy my lottery ticket,
head out the door. And there's times where I go
two in three weeks without checking a ticket. In fact
that I always played the Powerball and I play a
three digit and I won the three digit and I
(04:59):
didn't know it. I carried the lottery ticket a run
in my back pocket for the better part of a
month before I realized I actually won, and it's just
kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I hope, Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah. I mean, I play the same set of numbers
that I've played for the better part of fifteen years,
and then I play a quick pick, and then whenever
I feel the need, I'll go check it out.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Well, So, speaking of that, a cash Ball to twenty
five ticket worth two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars
was sold in South Louisvel at the be Quick Marathon
on Upper Hunter's Trace, that's near the PRP neighborhood. That
was on Friday night. So I don't know if anybody
has realized they've won yet, but if again, this is
the rule on this show. If you ever find out
you won the lottery because I reminded you to check
your ticket, I get fifteen percent of those winnings. That's
(05:39):
a rule that we implemented early on in this show.
So just just be advised. All right, let's get a
check a trafficking weather. We've already got some slowdown out there.
I don't think it's anything substantial at this point.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
But there is.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It looks like a a stalled semi on I sixty
five northbound at I sixty four downtown blocking the right lane.
So Bobby Ellis will get us caught up on that.
We'll also get an update on the forecast. It's good news.
I'm gonna go ahead and and tease that because We've got
beautiful weather this week and I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So stick with us.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
It is five eleven here at Kentucky and it's morning News,
Coffee and company with you on News.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Radio eight forty.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Whas as college football season is now here in the
NFL is on the way. In fact, we are now
I believe, nine days away from officially kicking off the
NFL season, we have another carriage dispute.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
That could black out football. So YouTube TV and Fox
that is the latest war.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
As we've been through this before, different networks, different carriers
that want to point fingers at the others and say, hey,
you got to you know, so you're gonna lose this
channel on this date, at this time, you better call
them and start complaining, and then the other side's telling
you to do the exact thing. So YouTube TV has
warned customers that their carriage dispute with Fox is something.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
To be worried about.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
If no deal is reached by Wednesday, August twenty seventh, yes,
that is tomorrow, subscribers could lose access to Fox, just
as college football in the NFL season is about to
kick off.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
So keep in mind this.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Dispute effects Fox Broadcast, FS one, f S two, Big
ten network, Fox News, and more so YouTube TV now
up to nine point four million subscribers, making it easily
one of the biggest out there. In fact, if you
really consider where we were ten years ago compared to now,
I mean you remember people talk about did.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
You cut the cord yet?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Are you a cord cutter?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I mean court like, who everybody's cut the cord, right,
I mean, I'm sure there are some that haven't. But
what blew my mind? This was a couple of years
ago whenever, in fact this was this was in Jeff
Brom's first year. There was a spectrum dispute that led
to ESPN Disney ABC not having channels live because of
their dispute, and and it did it. If you had Spectrum,
(07:45):
you could not watch ESPN. And I just remember it
being a real issue for Louisville fans. And that's when
I realized how many people at that time still had
yet to cut the cord. And I just remember thinking
Spectrums planned to I guess be good of their cutustomers
is they recommended ways they could get free trials of
other services in order to hold out this dispute between
(08:06):
the two sides. And I'm sitting here thinking that seems
like a really dumb idea, because what that's going to
do is just give others an invitation to realize they
don't need you. You don't need to rest your TV anymore.
I mean, it'd be different if you couldn't get other
I mean, it really just doesn't make a whole lot
of sense unless you're somebody that does not have good
connectivity at all, like you don't have good internet, good
(08:26):
access to it. That's really the only way would make
sense to still have, you know, old school spectrum TV.
And again, if it's what you like, it's twitch you prefer,
you don't want to change it up.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
But I used to be worried about relying upon an
Internet connection to watch television. Used to have panic attack
thinking about if I was relying on the internet and
we started buffering. When I'm watching a game that I'm
really into, would I would throw my television outside of
my house. So it but now here we are ten
years later, and I just more often than not, I mean,
(08:59):
it's surprised now to see somebody that has a they
consume television and it's not through a streaming type service.
So again, the deadline is tomorrow at five Eastern, and
these usually expire before you get to the big day.
And if you think that YouTube TV is gonna not
(09:19):
have Fox available when the NFL season starts, I think
you are foolish.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
But we'll see in YouTube TVs where you get Sunday
ticket through too.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Right, I think, I don't know if it's exclusive to that.
I have it through there, but I don't I think
red I don't know. I honestly I have Sunday ticket
or not Sunday ticket I have. You can't get it
through there. I don't have Sunday Ticket through there. I
have Red Zone Channel. Yes, So yeah, I mean, I
just I mean, the only thing that's still and by
(09:49):
the way, it's not just still relevant. It is a monster,
but it has no competition Live NFL games, Command Live
viewership like nothing else on the play Well.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I guess nothing else in America, I should.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Say, you're right, yeah, I think even world, whyde they
pick up steams.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
So the thought of just holding out to not have.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
To not have what is one of your most valuable
days of the year, it just I mean again, I'm
sure that you got to stand your ground to an extent,
but I mean if you didn't have access to live
NFL because you just were in this dispute, I mean again,
if we didn't watch sports live the way we do,
who would watch anything live? I mean being serious, And
(10:32):
this isn't just some young guy who you know is
just only streaming stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And I mean, go look at it.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
The most watched live things in America every year, ninety
seven percent of them are sports. The other things that
occasionally trickle in is an election maybe or i'm sorry, debate,
or maybe one of the award shows somehow watch. I
can't believe that that's Those still sometimes crack the top
one hundred, but ninety seven percent roughly it's live sports.
And of that ninety seven percent, ninety five probably ninety
(10:59):
to ninety five percent.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Of it as NFL.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
So so I just I have a hard time thinking
that about the NFL. First NFL Sunday, Fox is going
to still be in this situation with YouTube TV, but
we shall see right on. It's a what do they
call it, It's a whizzing match. Here see who cames first? Right,
We got Sports Cover your Way with Scott Fitzgerald in
just a few minutes. Also another update of Traffick and
weather right here on news Radio eight forty whas. I'm
(11:22):
doing something that I try to do all the time,
and it's hard live in the moment and not overthink
it and let that impact the experience of whatever is
in that moment that you know you enjoy, And for
me it's this weather. I'm trying to just enjoy it,
but I know they're going to rip it away. And
it's cruel to bring these fall temperatures and then just
probably give us a late September of just brutal heat.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I mean hope not.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
In fact, if you look at the forecast moving forward,
I mean I've seen nothing, and maybe I just haven't looked.
In fact, I haven't looked since yesterday, But it doesn't
look like when we do get warmer temperatures on the
way it doesn't look like it's going to be anything
like crazy, SUBSTANDI. I mean a week ago today, actually
they had to cancel all outdoor activities at JCPS because
the heat and decks in humidity was just so bad.
(12:09):
But last night took a little walk around the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I threw a hoodie on.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I mean not just because like I knew that I
could and I wouldn't sweat my rear end off, but
because I needed one. I mean, I'd have been fine
without it. But when it comes to just being comfortable,
hoodie was perfect last night. With that breeze, we're looking
at what fifty seven degrees? I think it is right now? Yeah,
and I like it. I want it to stay.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Scott, you know, it's tucking to my brother.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
He's out in Arizona and they've been dealing with that
crazy heat we had.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
I mean it jokes, Oh, it's nasty.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Neat, and he's a guy who likes the heat and
he doesn't mind. I mean, living in Arizona, it's cool
for him. But I said, now you can have it, brother.
We paid our dues as far as the heat was concerning.
As we mentioned, looking long term and even through the
month of December. It doesn't look like it's gonna be
too bad. In fact, just a tat above normal into December,
which I think folks here will appreciate, so we don't
go back to the frigid coal. But man, I'm gonna
(12:59):
take what I've been seeing out in the retail stores,
a lot of those firewood, a lot of firewood out
I will probably if it gets cool enough, and break
out the fire pit this weekend. I hadn't been there
in a long time, hadn't any chance to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Fire pit and football come on, dude, man, I'm telling you, bro.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
And then you put some chili on or I like
to make a shreded you know, salted chicken and throw
that in. And see, we're big appetizer people in our
house on Saturdays, so we're off on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Just just just just apps all day. You know, you
never you never get too full on an app. There's
all there's endless good options when it comes to apps.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I'm with you, dude.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
So Friday night, there's actually college football on Friday Night,
because there is every all season long, and this will
be the first Friday night where you've got some legitimate
games and I mean in the evening. I mean, I
think I think our plans probably are gonna end up
just being all right, well, we're gonna, you know, we're
gonna hang out at home, get that back patio, go
and get the TV on, let the kids run around.
And I feel like usually it's it's it's a little bit,
(13:57):
it's a little bit down the line before we get
to doing that in you know, football season. Because again,
I mean, I had to go back yesterday just to
double check that I wasn't losing my mind. But normally
this weekend, coming up, Labor Day weekend, it is hot
as can be. I mean, it's rare that we have.
I mean I remember many times. In fact, just a
couple of years ago, with Louisville opened their season in Atlanta,
(14:19):
I made my way back from Atlanta that holiday on
on the actual holiday, and it was hotter here than
it was there, and it was just you know, just
typical summer humidity that just hasn't gone away just yet.
And it's not here now, and I'm enjoying it. But
I'm I'm I'm onto you.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Mother Nature. You're just teasing us.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
You're going to bring back heat at some point, and
it's going to be like was, once you get the
jeans out, once you get the hoodies out, we're gonna
have to throw them back up because I just I
can just feel it coming.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Not necessarily, I mean, you know, and again, Matt Mollsmitch
and I talked about this a little bit. And as
the earth you know, comes down off its axis and
rotates down, you start to see few and fewer days. Now.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
It doesn't mean you're not to your point.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
You're not going to get a spike in that temperature,
but they're it's not going to stay as long.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
It's not going to be as intent. And like you said,
you know, you.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Got some quality college football games. I mean, I don't
think you can get a better start to the college
football season than Ohio State in Texas.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Oh I know. And I mean, and that's one of
the many good games. In fact, and we'll look it up.
I know that the amount of good games in Week
one is up there as far as maybe the best
Week one slate we've had, which I'll I'll take it. Yeah,
I am excited.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
No, And then what's nice the way they set this
up is that you get not only the top notch
college football games, but then just a week later, starting
on Thursday night, the NFL always bounces back with the
blockbuster and then dude, then you're full on.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Man, then it's on.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
You are full on.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I was just looking at someone you got and the
thing about Texas and Ohio State, that is that Fox
first game out of the gate. Oh yeah, I mean
that's a high new game. And then you have LSU
and Clemson at six point thirty.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
There's already some controversy about the coverage of that game.
And I don't mean the Fox and YouTube TV dispute,
but there's the big newon kickoff. They Fox is trying
to really compete with ESPN's College Game Day, and I
think their plan to do so is a smart one.
I don't know if it'll work out because I just
think Game Day's got got I mean, they've got control
over that because they've done it so long. People are
(16:12):
still going to be programmed nationally to turn that on
on a Saturday morning before college football starts. But I
do at least like what Fox is trying to do.
But again, there's some controversy there. We can talk about
that a little bit later on. Speaking of talking coming
up here. Shortly, we're going to talk to the one
and only roy O'Neil. He'll tell us where Kentucky ranks
when it comes to the hardest working states in America.
I'm curious to see where we end up.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
He'll tell us.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
On the other side, don't go anywhere, keep it locked
right here. On news RADIOAD forty WHS. Good morning, Kentucky, Na.
Thanks for hanging out with us here on a Tuesday
morning on news radio eight forty whas Nick Coffee here.
I'm a hard working man, but not as hard of
a worker as the one and only roy O neil
of NBC News, who joins us here. Rory, how what
can you tell us about this new study? Where does
(16:54):
the Bluegrass State rank among the hardest working states in America?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
You know, so where are we on this list? Yeah?
Room for improvement.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
That's all of my teachers ever.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Take it as all of my biggest room in the world, right.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Yeah. The message I got for my every single one
of my school teachers was room for improvement.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
So this is the survey by wallet hob that takes
a look at, oh gosh, hours worked per week, what
the unemployment rate is what's the team employment rate? Do
people actually use all their vacation time in these states?
Do they have more than one job? Number one in
the country for the hardest working, by the way, is
North Dakota, Okay as the hardest working. Yeah, but Kentucky
(17:38):
comes in at thirty ninth.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
So we're better than eleven states, I mean right, take it, yes,
better than ten now, So when it comes to the
hard workers, where are like, where are the slackers? Those
who don't compete? Again, I guess Kentucky certainly on the
bottom half there. But what are the factors as to
why they don't? They don't stack up with the with
the hardest workers like those in North Dakota.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Yeah, in some cases it's the number of hours worked
per week, how many households have people with no jobs
at all, So a factor in things like how much
leisure time do people have in a day and how
much do they volunteer? So isn't necessarily paid work that's
considered in these so bottom of the barrel. Number forty
(18:21):
six on the list is New York. Forty seventh is Nevada,
forty eighth whole is Rhode Island. Forty ninth is West
Virginia and finally Michigan Dead lasts.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I would not have expected that. Our producer, Scut Fitzgerald,
he's a Michigan man. I don't, Scott, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
I think he's a case study. All my teams aren't
holding up their end of the barn.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
We gotta work on that. So outside.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
So North Dakota to me seems like a state now
that I give it some thought, where people end up
there for work where maybe they don't even live there,
but they're there for you know, three months on a
job doing one of the you know, one of the
industries that's booming there. What are some other states that
are up towards the top and are there similarity because
I would not have guessed North Dakota. But again I
can just I've watched documentaries where where people end up
(19:05):
and I don't know if it's not I can't remember
what industry it is, but there'll be people that relocate
there for forty percent of the calendar year just because
they can make so much money, probably working every single
day in that time.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Yeah, a lot of it has been in the oil sect, Okay,
but yeah, North Dakota is number one. Alaska number two,
South Dakota, number three. I think three states where you
could say, well, what else is there to do? But
look at why I thought number five on the list
is the one that surprised me. It's Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Okay, yeah, I would not have guessed that either, But yeah,
we know that you can't think.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
You have plenty of other things to do rather than work.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Of course stinks in their number four.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
By the way, most people, I feel like when they
go to Hawaii, that's the last thing they think they'll
be doing is working. They're there to enjoy it and
see the beauty that Hawaii has to offer. So let's
talk about new cars and the seven year loans that
are out there. New cars, of course, have become so expensive,
and if you end up financing those extra and you
stretch it out, some of those won't be paid off
until twenty two. What is it with some con when
(20:03):
it comes to the consumers opting for these seven year
auto loans? I mean, is that just because that's really
the best case scenario when they want themselves a brand
new vehicle.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Well, pretty much essentially they look at what they can
afford every month. Right, you look at that bottom number
on the bottom right, and like, what's that figure going
to be? And if if they tell you that it's
going to be, you know, eight hundred dollars a month
for a five year loan, but it's only going to
be six hundred dollars a month for a seven year loan,
you say, well, I'll take the seven And that's talk
about penny wise and pound foolish. But apparently this seven
(20:33):
year loan is becoming much more popular. More than twenty
percent of the car loans in the second quarter of
this year were for seven year loans, in large part
because the cost of a new car is now huvering
on average about fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
And the other effect of this is that it slows
down the cycle. You know, if most people emphasis there
don't start to get a new car until the old
one is paid off, So that means now you're dragging
it out longer and longer that you hold this car
that you're still paying for, because if you try to
roll it into another new vehicle that gets then you're
really upside down. And that's a tough financial choice.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
No doubt. Rory is always thanks for the time enjoyed.
The rest of your day. We'll talk soon, my friend.
Speaker 4 (21:15):

All right, let's get it started. Show we good morning,
(00:02):
Welcome in, Happy Tuesday to you. It is Coffee and Company,
Kentucky and his morning news here on News Radio eight
forty whas Nick Coffee. That's me Scott Fitzgerald alongside John Shannon.
He is in the house as well. He'll give us
some news coming up in about twenty five minutes. John
all to be back with us next week and we
are ready to rock and roll. I need to go
buy one of those those powerball tickets, not because it
(00:26):
is in fact up to seven hundred and fifty million
dollars that is the powerball jackpot. But I hit nothing
but green lights this morning on Preston Highway as I
was making my way out of Bullet County into Jefferson
County to sixty five North. Nothing but green lights. And
then I got off the exit here at Brook Street
and took that left on Muhammad Ali. Nothing but green lights.
(00:50):
It means I'm I'm destined to be the winner of
again seven hundred and fifty million dollars jackpot. And the
payout for that, I believe would be if you just
took the the lump sum and uh and and won
this one, it would be three hundred and thirty eight
point six million.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I think I could. I think I could use some
of that.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
You could, like John said yesterday, John Jen Sai, didn't
live off the interest on it. Just drop drop it
in the bang and live off the interest. You'd be
couldn't go, man, Yeah you couldn't. I mean, I guess
you could, but yeah, especially in the economy. But I
was gonna say if you couldn't spend that much money
if you tried, But I'm sure you probably could, especially
considering how expensive things are. Honestly, if you just if
you just accommodate those with a handout, that money would
go pretty quick. You never think how you break the news,
(01:32):
Like let's say you won and you had to tell
your wife, how you would break the news to her.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
So I'm glad you asked that question because we talked
lottery yesterday to wrap up the show. And I've never
purchased a lottery ticket on my own. My wife will
buy it, buy them occasionally, and she'll certainly purchase one
whenever the jackpot is is this large. But I've never
really even thought about winning the lottery at all, because
I just and it's not because I mean, the truth
(01:58):
is that the chances of me winning it are very
very low. But it's just it's not really something I've
ever spent a whole lot of time on or thinking
about until recently, just because I'm fascinated by how to
your question, Like it's a life changing thing. Nobody would
deny that, and you really have no clue how it
would change your life for good. I mean, obviously you
(02:18):
wouldn't have to worry as much. But after our conversation yesterday,
I was just thinking, in trust me, if I was
able to win, I would I'm not trying to act
like it would be a bad thing by any means,
but there are so many things that you would eventually
encounter and find in situations you would find yourself in
that you would have never even imagined until you end
up being somebody that just publicly became insanely wealthy.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
You watch it, There'd be some headaches, but yeah, it'd
be worth it.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
It would you watch it? Specially that's out It's called
lottery ruin my life. It's kind of the flip side.
One gentleman talked about how you won it was a
former autumn acain. He said, people were knocking on his
door twenty four to seven, asking one not only for money,
but to fix their call once it got out that
he won the lottery.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
But you know it's I.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Did interview Chip Polston when he was with the Kentucky Lottery.
I did it for Kentucky Focus one day and I said,
how is that Chip? When you're working there in the
office and somebody walks into you and has, say, a
three hundred and fifty million dollar winning lottery ticket, And
he was like, it never gets old. You see these
people come into the office and they're just beaming from
ear to ear and their lives have changed. I mean,
(03:27):
to your point, nothing will ever be the same after that.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
And you don't know what it would feel like, what
would happen until you're in that situation, and very few
of us will ever be And said situation. Look, I
would manage to get by, and trust me, I would
prefer to be a lottery winner than not. Of course
I have to play in order to potentially win. But
I think the not only people who would give you
(03:52):
the stories of hey, you have come into a lot
of money, and man, I really need it because of
this hardship or that hardship. But there would be Pete, Like,
I'm sitting here thinking of, okay, how would you balance
keeping people away from you, meaning limiting people's access to you?
And there'd probably be thirty companies lined up to sell
(04:13):
you their service to do that. Like, there would be
so many businesses coming your way wanting to not just
say hey, can we get some charity, but hey, you're
now really wealthy. We know you used to be a
poor let me tell you why you need us. Like,
there would be just an unlimited amount of people wanting
access to you, and that would just be overwhelming. And
but again I'd live with it. I'd find a way
(04:35):
to manage.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You're exactly right.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And I buy a lottery ticket pretty much every Saturday,
Like I said, as mentioned yesterday, I walk in as
my favorite gas station. I go to the guy at
workstand the counter, super super nice. We kind of talked
for just a few minutes, not long, buy my lottery ticket,
head out the door. And there's times where I go
two in three weeks without checking a ticket. In fact
that I always played the Powerball and I play a
three digit and I won the three digit and I
(04:59):
didn't know it. I carried the lottery ticket a run
in my back pocket for the better part of a
month before I realized I actually won, and it's just
kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I hope, Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah. I mean, I play the same set of numbers
that I've played for the better part of fifteen years,
and then I play a quick pick, and then whenever
I feel the need, I'll go check it out.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Well, So, speaking of that, a cash Ball to twenty
five ticket worth two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars
was sold in South Louisvel at the be Quick Marathon
on Upper Hunter's Trace, that's near the PRP neighborhood. That
was on Friday night. So I don't know if anybody
has realized they've won yet, but if again, this is
the rule on this show. If you ever find out
you won the lottery because I reminded you to check
your ticket, I get fifteen percent of those winnings. That's
(05:39):
a rule that we implemented early on in this show.
So just just be advised. All right, let's get a
check a trafficking weather. We've already got some slowdown out there.
I don't think it's anything substantial at this point.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
But there is.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It looks like a a stalled semi on I sixty
five northbound at I sixty four downtown blocking the right lane.
So Bobby Ellis will get us caught up on that.
We'll also get an update on the forecast. It's good news.
I'm gonna go ahead and and tease that because We've got
beautiful weather this week and I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So stick with us.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
It is five eleven here at Kentucky and it's morning News,
Coffee and company with you on News.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Radio eight forty.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Whas as college football season is now here in the
NFL is on the way. In fact, we are now
I believe, nine days away from officially kicking off the
NFL season, we have another carriage dispute.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
That could black out football. So YouTube TV and Fox
that is the latest war.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
As we've been through this before, different networks, different carriers
that want to point fingers at the others and say, hey,
you got to you know, so you're gonna lose this
channel on this date, at this time, you better call
them and start complaining, and then the other side's telling
you to do the exact thing. So YouTube TV has
warned customers that their carriage dispute with Fox is something.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
To be worried about.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
If no deal is reached by Wednesday, August twenty seventh, yes,
that is tomorrow, subscribers could lose access to Fox, just
as college football in the NFL season is about to
kick off.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
So keep in mind this.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Dispute effects Fox Broadcast, FS one, f S two, Big
ten network, Fox News, and more so YouTube TV now
up to nine point four million subscribers, making it easily
one of the biggest out there. In fact, if you
really consider where we were ten years ago compared to now,
I mean you remember people talk about did.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
You cut the cord yet?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Are you a cord cutter?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I mean court like, who everybody's cut the cord, right,
I mean, I'm sure there are some that haven't. But
what blew my mind? This was a couple of years
ago whenever, in fact this was this was in Jeff
Brom's first year. There was a spectrum dispute that led
to ESPN Disney ABC not having channels live because of
their dispute, and and it did it. If you had Spectrum,
(07:45):
you could not watch ESPN. And I just remember it
being a real issue for Louisville fans. And that's when
I realized how many people at that time still had
yet to cut the cord. And I just remember thinking
Spectrums planned to I guess be good of their cutustomers
is they recommended ways they could get free trials of
other services in order to hold out this dispute between
(08:06):
the two sides. And I'm sitting here thinking that seems
like a really dumb idea, because what that's going to
do is just give others an invitation to realize they
don't need you. You don't need to rest your TV anymore.
I mean, it'd be different if you couldn't get other
I mean, it really just doesn't make a whole lot
of sense unless you're somebody that does not have good
connectivity at all, like you don't have good internet, good
(08:26):
access to it. That's really the only way would make
sense to still have, you know, old school spectrum TV.
And again, if it's what you like, it's twitch you prefer,
you don't want to change it up.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
But I used to be worried about relying upon an
Internet connection to watch television. Used to have panic attack
thinking about if I was relying on the internet and
we started buffering. When I'm watching a game that I'm
really into, would I would throw my television outside of
my house. So it but now here we are ten
years later, and I just more often than not, I mean,
(08:59):
it's surprised now to see somebody that has a they
consume television and it's not through a streaming type service.
So again, the deadline is tomorrow at five Eastern, and
these usually expire before you get to the big day.
And if you think that YouTube TV is gonna not
(09:19):
have Fox available when the NFL season starts, I think
you are foolish.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
But we'll see in YouTube TVs where you get Sunday
ticket through too.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Right, I think, I don't know if it's exclusive to that.
I have it through there, but I don't I think
red I don't know. I honestly I have Sunday ticket
or not Sunday ticket I have. You can't get it
through there. I don't have Sunday Ticket through there. I
have Red Zone Channel. Yes, So yeah, I mean, I
just I mean, the only thing that's still and by
(09:49):
the way, it's not just still relevant. It is a monster,
but it has no competition Live NFL games, Command Live
viewership like nothing else on the play Well.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I guess nothing else in America, I should.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Say, you're right, yeah, I think even world, whyde they
pick up steams.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
So the thought of just holding out to not have.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
To not have what is one of your most valuable
days of the year, it just I mean again, I'm
sure that you got to stand your ground to an extent,
but I mean if you didn't have access to live
NFL because you just were in this dispute, I mean again,
if we didn't watch sports live the way we do,
who would watch anything live? I mean being serious, And
(10:32):
this isn't just some young guy who you know is
just only streaming stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And I mean, go look at it.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
The most watched live things in America every year, ninety
seven percent of them are sports. The other things that
occasionally trickle in is an election maybe or i'm sorry, debate,
or maybe one of the award shows somehow watch. I
can't believe that that's Those still sometimes crack the top
one hundred, but ninety seven percent roughly it's live sports.
And of that ninety seven percent, ninety five probably ninety
(10:59):
to ninety five percent.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Of it as NFL.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
So so I just I have a hard time thinking
that about the NFL. First NFL Sunday, Fox is going
to still be in this situation with YouTube TV, but
we shall see right on. It's a what do they
call it, It's a whizzing match. Here see who cames first? Right,
We got Sports Cover your Way with Scott Fitzgerald in
just a few minutes. Also another update of Traffick and
weather right here on news Radio eight forty whas. I'm
(11:22):
doing something that I try to do all the time,
and it's hard live in the moment and not overthink
it and let that impact the experience of whatever is
in that moment that you know you enjoy, And for
me it's this weather. I'm trying to just enjoy it,
but I know they're going to rip it away. And
it's cruel to bring these fall temperatures and then just
probably give us a late September of just brutal heat.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I mean hope not.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
In fact, if you look at the forecast moving forward,
I mean I've seen nothing, and maybe I just haven't looked.
In fact, I haven't looked since yesterday, But it doesn't
look like when we do get warmer temperatures on the
way it doesn't look like it's going to be anything
like crazy, SUBSTANDI. I mean a week ago today, actually
they had to cancel all outdoor activities at JCPS because
the heat and decks in humidity was just so bad.
(12:09):
But last night took a little walk around the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I threw a hoodie on.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I mean not just because like I knew that I
could and I wouldn't sweat my rear end off, but
because I needed one. I mean, I'd have been fine
without it. But when it comes to just being comfortable,
hoodie was perfect last night. With that breeze, we're looking
at what fifty seven degrees? I think it is right now? Yeah,
and I like it. I want it to stay.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Scott, you know, it's tucking to my brother.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
He's out in Arizona and they've been dealing with that
crazy heat we had.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
I mean it jokes, Oh, it's nasty.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Neat, and he's a guy who likes the heat and
he doesn't mind. I mean, living in Arizona, it's cool
for him. But I said, now you can have it, brother.
We paid our dues as far as the heat was concerning.
As we mentioned, looking long term and even through the
month of December. It doesn't look like it's gonna be
too bad. In fact, just a tat above normal into December,
which I think folks here will appreciate, so we don't
go back to the frigid coal. But man, I'm gonna
(12:59):
take what I've been seeing out in the retail stores,
a lot of those firewood, a lot of firewood out
I will probably if it gets cool enough, and break
out the fire pit this weekend. I hadn't been there
in a long time, hadn't any chance to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Fire pit and football come on, dude, man, I'm telling you, bro.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
And then you put some chili on or I like
to make a shreded you know, salted chicken and throw
that in. And see, we're big appetizer people in our
house on Saturdays, so we're off on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Just just just just apps all day. You know, you
never you never get too full on an app. There's
all there's endless good options when it comes to apps.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I'm with you, dude.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
So Friday night, there's actually college football on Friday Night,
because there is every all season long, and this will
be the first Friday night where you've got some legitimate
games and I mean in the evening. I mean, I
think I think our plans probably are gonna end up
just being all right, well, we're gonna, you know, we're
gonna hang out at home, get that back patio, go
and get the TV on, let the kids run around.
And I feel like usually it's it's it's a little bit,
(13:57):
it's a little bit down the line before we get
to doing that in you know, football season. Because again,
I mean, I had to go back yesterday just to
double check that I wasn't losing my mind. But normally
this weekend, coming up, Labor Day weekend, it is hot
as can be. I mean, it's rare that we have.
I mean I remember many times. In fact, just a
couple of years ago, with Louisville opened their season in Atlanta,
(14:19):
I made my way back from Atlanta that holiday on
on the actual holiday, and it was hotter here than
it was there, and it was just you know, just
typical summer humidity that just hasn't gone away just yet.
And it's not here now, and I'm enjoying it. But
I'm I'm I'm onto you.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Mother Nature. You're just teasing us.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
You're going to bring back heat at some point, and
it's going to be like was, once you get the
jeans out, once you get the hoodies out, we're gonna
have to throw them back up because I just I
can just feel it coming.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Not necessarily, I mean, you know, and again, Matt Mollsmitch
and I talked about this a little bit. And as
the earth you know, comes down off its axis and
rotates down, you start to see few and fewer days. Now.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
It doesn't mean you're not to your point.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
You're not going to get a spike in that temperature,
but they're it's not going to stay as long.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
It's not going to be as intent. And like you said,
you know, you.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Got some quality college football games. I mean, I don't
think you can get a better start to the college
football season than Ohio State in Texas.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Oh I know. And I mean, and that's one of
the many good games. In fact, and we'll look it up.
I know that the amount of good games in Week
one is up there as far as maybe the best
Week one slate we've had, which I'll I'll take it. Yeah,
I am excited.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
No, And then what's nice the way they set this
up is that you get not only the top notch
college football games, but then just a week later, starting
on Thursday night, the NFL always bounces back with the
blockbuster and then dude, then you're full on.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Man, then it's on.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
You are full on.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I was just looking at someone you got and the
thing about Texas and Ohio State, that is that Fox
first game out of the gate. Oh yeah, I mean
that's a high new game. And then you have LSU
and Clemson at six point thirty.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
There's already some controversy about the coverage of that game.
And I don't mean the Fox and YouTube TV dispute,
but there's the big newon kickoff. They Fox is trying
to really compete with ESPN's College Game Day, and I
think their plan to do so is a smart one.
I don't know if it'll work out because I just
think Game Day's got got I mean, they've got control
over that because they've done it so long. People are
(16:12):
still going to be programmed nationally to turn that on
on a Saturday morning before college football starts. But I
do at least like what Fox is trying to do.
But again, there's some controversy there. We can talk about
that a little bit later on. Speaking of talking coming
up here. Shortly, we're going to talk to the one
and only roy O'Neil. He'll tell us where Kentucky ranks
when it comes to the hardest working states in America.
I'm curious to see where we end up.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
He'll tell us.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
On the other side, don't go anywhere, keep it locked
right here. On news RADIOAD forty WHS. Good morning, Kentucky, Na.
Thanks for hanging out with us here on a Tuesday
morning on news radio eight forty whas Nick Coffee here.
I'm a hard working man, but not as hard of
a worker as the one and only roy O neil
of NBC News, who joins us here. Rory, how what
can you tell us about this new study? Where does
(16:54):
the Bluegrass State rank among the hardest working states in America?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
You know, so where are we on this list? Yeah?
Room for improvement.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
That's all of my teachers ever.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Take it as all of my biggest room in the world, right.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Yeah. The message I got for my every single one
of my school teachers was room for improvement.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
So this is the survey by wallet hob that takes
a look at, oh gosh, hours worked per week, what
the unemployment rate is what's the team employment rate? Do
people actually use all their vacation time in these states?
Do they have more than one job? Number one in
the country for the hardest working, by the way, is
North Dakota, Okay as the hardest working. Yeah, but Kentucky
(17:38):
comes in at thirty ninth.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
So we're better than eleven states, I mean right, take it, yes,
better than ten now, So when it comes to the
hard workers, where are like, where are the slackers? Those
who don't compete? Again, I guess Kentucky certainly on the
bottom half there. But what are the factors as to
why they don't? They don't stack up with the with
the hardest workers like those in North Dakota.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Yeah, in some cases it's the number of hours worked
per week, how many households have people with no jobs
at all, So a factor in things like how much
leisure time do people have in a day and how
much do they volunteer? So isn't necessarily paid work that's
considered in these so bottom of the barrel. Number forty
(18:21):
six on the list is New York. Forty seventh is Nevada,
forty eighth whole is Rhode Island. Forty ninth is West
Virginia and finally Michigan Dead lasts.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I would not have expected that. Our producer, Scut Fitzgerald,
he's a Michigan man. I don't, Scott, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
I think he's a case study. All my teams aren't
holding up their end of the barn.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
We gotta work on that. So outside.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
So North Dakota to me seems like a state now
that I give it some thought, where people end up
there for work where maybe they don't even live there,
but they're there for you know, three months on a
job doing one of the you know, one of the
industries that's booming there. What are some other states that
are up towards the top and are there similarity because
I would not have guessed North Dakota. But again I
can just I've watched documentaries where where people end up
(19:05):
and I don't know if it's not I can't remember
what industry it is, but there'll be people that relocate
there for forty percent of the calendar year just because
they can make so much money, probably working every single
day in that time.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Yeah, a lot of it has been in the oil sect, Okay,
but yeah, North Dakota is number one. Alaska number two,
South Dakota, number three. I think three states where you
could say, well, what else is there to do? But
look at why I thought number five on the list
is the one that surprised me. It's Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Okay, yeah, I would not have guessed that either, But yeah,
we know that you can't think.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
You have plenty of other things to do rather than work.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Of course stinks in their number four.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
By the way, most people, I feel like when they
go to Hawaii, that's the last thing they think they'll
be doing is working. They're there to enjoy it and
see the beauty that Hawaii has to offer. So let's
talk about new cars and the seven year loans that
are out there. New cars, of course, have become so expensive,
and if you end up financing those extra and you
stretch it out, some of those won't be paid off
until twenty two. What is it with some con when
(20:03):
it comes to the consumers opting for these seven year
auto loans? I mean, is that just because that's really
the best case scenario when they want themselves a brand
new vehicle.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Well, pretty much essentially they look at what they can
afford every month. Right, you look at that bottom number
on the bottom right, and like, what's that figure going
to be? And if if they tell you that it's
going to be, you know, eight hundred dollars a month
for a five year loan, but it's only going to
be six hundred dollars a month for a seven year loan,
you say, well, I'll take the seven And that's talk
about penny wise and pound foolish. But apparently this seven
(20:33):
year loan is becoming much more popular. More than twenty
percent of the car loans in the second quarter of
this year were for seven year loans, in large part
because the cost of a new car is now huvering
on average about fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
And the other effect of this is that it slows
down the cycle. You know, if most people emphasis there
don't start to get a new car until the old
one is paid off, So that means now you're dragging
it out longer and longer that you hold this car
that you're still paying for, because if you try to
roll it into another new vehicle that gets then you're
really upside down. And that's a tough financial choice.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
No doubt. Rory is always thanks for the time enjoyed.
The rest of your day. We'll talk soon, my friend.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
