Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six so five here on a Tuesday morning, September second,
the first, the first ever edition, I guess, the first
ever September edition of Coffee and Company, Kentucky in this
morning news here our news radio eight forty whs. Because
we are here, we've made it to September. Hopefully you
guys had yourselves a good Labor Day weekend. I know
I did, And I don't know if there'd be any
(00:21):
way to actually track this, but I believe we are
in the midst of what has really been for ten
plus days now like the best stretch of weather that.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
We have had, maybe ever.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Again, I'm sure that's not the case, and I don't
even know how you'd be able to really determine that,
but you consider how pleasant and honestly perfect it seemed
at the end of August as far as just the weather,
I mean, it doesn't get much better than that, and
yesterday the heat did return a little bit, but I
wasn't going to complain. I feel bad complaining to Mother
Nature about anything right now, because man, I tell you
(00:57):
what the last again, if it's a bit me, it's
been about the last ten days roughly, and looks like
we still have some good weather in the works moving forward.
So again, I know we could you never know what
to expect, especially this time of year, but I was
not unhappy to see that the heat went away for
a while.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Man, it was nice.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I mean, oh he could.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I mean when you look at Saturday at Ellen N
Cardinal Stadium, and I'm sure it was the same way
in Lexington. I mean, just I don't know if you
could ask for better weather. We're talking sunshine eighty degrees ish.
I think it might have got a little bit hot,
a little bit warmer than that, and that's how Labor
Day weekends should be. But of course sometimes mother Nature
she doesn't accommodate quite like she did this past weekend.
(01:38):
But I'm glad she certainly did. I know, the World
Fest went on this past weekend. I think it wrapped
up yesterday down at the Belvedere, and I mean for
an event like that, you got to think weather could
have been more perfect for them.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, And I think this was the first time I
was able to cut my yard where I didn't feel
like I was in the movie Jamunjay, because I mean
it was so nice, because everything was, the humidity was low,
the yard was and soaking wet. You know, it just
was to your point, it was just a perfect weekend
all around, and was able to turn the grill on
and just you know, encompass that and hopefully that sticks
(02:10):
with us now. And because you know, we had looked
at the eight to fourteen day outlook last week sometime
and said that, you know, we're going to still experience
these doesn't mean it's not going to heat up every
now and then between now and winter, but sure, we'll
see what happened.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
And maybe i'm and maybe I am am just paying
more attention to it than I used to. But I
feel like even the visual outside as far as just
the crunch of leave, the grass turning a little bit brown.
Maybe that's because of lack of rain, but like I
feel like it looks like fall is approaching a little
earlier than it typically does. Maybe again, I'm just paying
more attention than than I used to, but I am
(02:46):
I'm not against it, because fall's best time of the
year in my opinion, and it really really seems that way.
Once once football gets started, well.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Well we'll probably rise a little bit.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Right now, they're saying, you know, the week of September ninth,
or the fifteenth, probably going to be a little bit
above normal temperature wise, but not anything crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And again I'll if I found myself uncomfortable because of weather,
whatever it may be, in the next couple of weeks,
I'd like to think that I'll think back, Okay, well,
hey it's fine. I'm not going to complain because again
mother Nature was good to us for a stretch there
and and right now again it's going to be warmer
in the next couple of days than it has been.
But still I'm not going to complain.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Now you're not as long as you're not dealing with
the one hundred plus degree temperatures in the heated extents.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And yes, when the air feels like you are a
you're a condiment in a bowl of soup like that's
that's that's not what we want.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
That's not fun for anybody.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
No, and then we'll see what winter brings and it'll
be fun. It always is fun winter to this time
of year you start coming down here and how driving
gets and whatnot. And for us it's not as simple
as just you know, you can't just say, hey, look
the weather's bad. I'm not coming into the office today.
We've got to still work our way down here, but
that's another story for another day.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But yeah, we'll see, we'll see what it does.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
But I'm glad we had.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
This same here and we'll get the expert to tell
us about the latest forecast coming up here in just
a moment, we were from Melosavich. Also will get traffic
updates from Bobby Ellis real quickly before we get to that.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Though.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
The one of the stories that you're seeing here locally,
and of course John Shannon mentioned it in his latest
newscast that as a shooting that took place where a
woman was killed last night around ten twenty. And I
don't know if it's just me, but when you can see,
for example, I'm watching wk WHY, our news partners their
newscast going on right now, and they're covering this story
(04:26):
as well, and just the visual of seeing the b
roll as they're showing the story discussing what happened, and
it shows the area south Brook Street near Broadway. When
I see a place that I'm often near, I drive
by quite a bit. I don't every day, but sometimes
I end up. I mean, it's that's just a few
blocks fromhere we're standing right now, but when you see
(04:48):
that a murder took place and it's a place that
you recognize because you drive past it or maybe it's
part of your everyday commute, there's just something different about
that one. Not to say that it's you know again,
murders happen, unfortunately, only pretty often in Louisville, and sometimes
it's places you're familiar with. Sometimes you think, okay, well,
I'm not sure where that is, but I don't know,
just seeing them covering a shooting that took place where
(05:08):
a woman is dead, and it's it's somewhere that i'm
you know, it's not far from where we're sitting right now.
I don't know. Just something something different about that. But anyways,
that's not the only situation we had over the weekend
where somebody lost their life here in Louisville. Just an
awful story where a drunk driver has been arrested because
of a crash that killed a twelve year old girl.
And now we know that it wasn't just one of
(05:31):
the drivers in this accident. There were two different vehicles
and the yeah, there was a driver driver this by
the way, this took place on New Cut Road on
I believe Friday Saturday Saturday at two thirty am, and
it was on New Cut Road in the northbound lane
of I sixty five where police Saya Dodge Durango was
was driven by thirty four year old Ronaldo Gill rear
(05:52):
ended a jeep Compass, causing it to roll over across
the median and then the land in the southbound lanes.
Now the jeep's driver who again was rear ended, she
was ejected and it's in the hospital with life threatening injuries.
But her infant child was found in a car seat
beneath the overturned jeep, also critically injured. But it was
the twelve year old daughter that was ejected and pronounced
dead at the scenes. So the driver of the Dodge
(06:16):
Durngo charged with murder, assault wanting endangerment am duy. But
now there's charges for the mother as well, Simpson, because
looks as if she did not have the baby's car
seat secured the way it was supposed to. Also the
twelve year old not wearing a seat belt. So just
an awful situation all the way around. So I mean,
(06:36):
these are things that again tragic in every way, especially
when you think of an innocent child who's not driving,
but yet out and about with parents at two thirty am,
doing god knows what. But just you know, somebody that's
supposed to take care of you, you know that they're not,
and then of course somebody out.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And drive you.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Just these stories are awful, but I will say it
does make me a little more mindful of you. Just
never know who's on the road way, regardless of where
you are, what you're doing, what's going through your mind.
Be as careful as possible because you and you could
be as careful as possible and still of course become
a victim of a crash because somebody's out there driving
under the influence. But man, just an awful situation from
(07:13):
over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
All right, quick break.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
We've got traffic of weather updates on the way right
here on news Radio eight forty WHAS It is Kentucky
and this morning news Coffee and company with you here
on News Radio eight forty whas, take us with you
wherever you go. Listen live at whas dot com. You
can also listen live on the iHeartRadio app. Nick Coffee,
that's me Scott fitz Jared alongside, and we've got John
Shannon with us here in the studio. He'll have another
news update for us coming up in about twelve minutes
(07:36):
or so. But he introduced me to something last week.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
John did that.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I will admit I initially felt like I was just,
you know, head in the sand. I should know this,
but I didn't. And now I don't feel as bad
because I'm not the only one, John, that was not
aware of what steak fingers are.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I ran into four.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
People, three that work here you included, plus Dwight Mitchell
on Friday that didn't. I had never heard of steak fingers,
and I'm like, I thought everybody knew what those.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
When you said steak finger I'm thinking of like a
kebab with like that's why you called it steak fingers,
but I'm thinking that that wouldn't be it, because you
would call that a kebab, right, So it's like country
fried steak, but in strips its strip form instead of
just the actual steak. And I mean, I love country
fried steak. It's one of my go tos at certain
(08:23):
restaurants like Country Fried Chicken as well. But you prepared
some last week the country fried steak fingers, and you
delivered them to.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Me I had them.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
They were phenomenal, and I did some digging, and it
is a different thing, like you're from Texas and it's
just kind of a known item, I suppose, whereas here,
you know, I was relieved to know I wasn't the
only idiot that didn't know what it was.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Well, yeah, I make that five too, because Gus didn't know.
And I took it a little step farther based on
one of the popular oil field restaurants out there where
I'm from, they actually took real strips of surloin to
do theirs. Instead of using like the this type of
meat that they use for chicken fried steak and just
cutting it up into strips. I took a surloin and
(09:06):
marinated it for a couple of days in the refrigerator
in Dale's and then sliced it up and did the
batter on them that way.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
So when you go to restaurants and like sit down
restaurants in that region of the country where you're from Texas,
is it a common menu item? Okay, because we have
country bred steak at certain restaurants depending upon the concept.
But again I'd not heard of this, but apparently you
can get them at Dairy Queen.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Right, you can get them at the at Dairy Queen
here in town. You can get a four piece chicken
steak finger basket. It's like the chicken fingers, except with
the steak like we're talking about, with the gravy and
the toast and the fries and yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah, I mean I just again. I mean, I'll country
fried steak itself is great, but it being in I
guess finger form it's just as good. And I did
not know much about it. But I feel like you've
you've educated me when it comes to food here, because
now I'm going to be looking at certain restaurants when
I get there and say, hey, do they have these
on the menu, because it was very, very delicious, and
(10:04):
you're spoiling me.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Now you've brought me chili to sample later.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Today, I made a big pot of chili, and I
tend to share. I know it's a little early, but
the grandson over NILANOI said he wanted some, so I
made a big pot and had some extra here. I'm like,
I'm not gonna be able to eat all this by
myself this week, so you know, I share with friends.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I'm not volunteering myself to organize it because I wouldn't
be great at it, but it would be awesome for
us to have a chili cook off here at iHeart
because one I want to selfishly just try everybody's chili
because I love sampling different chilies. I didn't used to
like chili at all, or east I again, I have
the toddler. I have a palette of a toddler, so
there's a lot of foods I just assumed I wouldn't like,
and now I'm like, okay, no, this is pretty good.
(10:41):
But yeah, we need to have a chili cook off.
And again, I'll I wouldn't care who wins. I just
want to try everybody's chili and bring your prilo sec
But well said, that'll be needed. That'll be needed for sure.
But thank you, John. Let's get to a quick update
of trafficking weather. We've also got a sports update com
when you're way, with Scott Fitzgerald right here on News
Radio eight forty whas So. One of the things in
(11:02):
the last few months since I've been in this position
that we've talked about quite a bit is artificial intelligence AI,
and it is developing rapidly impressive, some really cool stuff
that can be done, but of course also scary for
folks who realize, wait a second, they've created technology, a robot,
a formula, if you will, that can do something that
(11:24):
I have done my whole life as an adult, to
provide a living, to make a living for myself and
take care of my family.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
What's that mean for me?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
It's an understandable reaction from a lot of folks. And
there is a new poll that reveals that there's from
this and again, take it for what it's worth, but
I'm not surprised at all to see that this pole
does reveal that there's a deep concern from the public
about artificial intelligence eliminating jobs, not only that, but threatening security,
(11:57):
disrupting relationships. I'm I'm not a huge AI nerd, but
I am fascinated to see what can be done with
artificial intelligence, and I've found ways to utilize it that
I that some I've actually some things I've done that
are actually helping me as far as just saving time
(12:18):
on certain things, teaching myself how to do certain things.
There's other things that I don't really have a lot
of use for personally, but just to see how you
can utilize it is pretty impressive. But again, all those
things I think are legitimate concerns, limiting jobs, security threats,
and of course disrupting relationships, meaning if you're relying on
AI for everything, which I know a lot of people
(12:40):
don't do that now, but with how rapidly it is,
it's advancing and growing and becoming more common. Five years
from now, who knows what things look like. So I'm
not at all surprised. I totally get it. But seventy
one percent of Americans now worry that AI will permanently
replace too many workers. So you've got also seventy seven
(13:05):
percent that say they fear AI is going to be
used to create political chaos. You have forty eight percent
that oppose AI deciding military strike targets. And when it
comes to the energy impact, sixty one percent worry about
AI's massive power demands. And that's something that I'm that's
a little bit over you know, a little bit above
(13:26):
over my head as far as just the energy demands
that AI utilizes. But Google has signed deals with utilities
to reduce power use at their AI data centers during
peak demand, which I guess is a good sign. But
I mean the companies like Google of course they're gonna
be the ones that are willing to. I mean, if
(13:47):
you think like you're just think of some some some
rando who figures out, wow, AI is pretty useful.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Look what I can do.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Imagine like what Google is going to be able to
do with it when it's all said and done.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
So I think I think what comes to light Nick
and your right to be so on point about this,
and that is that AI is we're going to learn
how to use it effectively, inefficiently, and to our advantage.
Each individual will to use it. It's not the boogeyman
that it once was when it first came out.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
And I'm glad you said that because I understand really
both sides of it. I think that it's something that
you should be mindful of and worry about the threat
that it could pose for all these things we've just
discussed here. But also it's a resourceful tool. And as
much as people are against it because of what it
may do to their profession, you being able to utilize
it to help you do what you do well only
(14:36):
can only help you. I mean, there are people who
want to hire somebody who knows they could be more
efficient at their job if they know how to use it.
Now again, there's going to be certain jobs that you
got to wonder if if those really exist. But I mean,
I just what I worry about is if we all
end up using it to figure things out. Yeah, it's effective,
it's efficient, but like, are we actually learning anything? I mean,
(14:59):
I think that's where were kind of become robots. I mean,
thirty six percent say AI will improve education, forty percent disagree,
the others are unsure. I won't claim to be an
expert by any means, but I find that hard to believe.
I don't think you're actually gonna learn anything if you're
just relying on You're relying on and now again, you may.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Always have it at your disposal. Like they told us, we.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Never have calculators when we got older, and we do, right,
our phones have those have calculators. And there's certain things
I learned in math that I'll never need to use,
but you know, at least I learned how to do it.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I was gonna say.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
It kind of goes along those lines where like certain
like handyman and auto repair folks say, quit going to
YouTube to try to figure out how to fix something.
But on the same token that kind of taught.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Me how to fix something.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
The things I've learned, Yeah from YouTube. I mean, I
know I'm not alone. Yeah, it's here's here's where I
will Here's where I will really worry about AI at
a higher at a higher level. Whenever nobody even worries
or thinks about whatever they're doing and consuming, is it
AI generated or because that's when we become robots. Right Like,
if you're watching movies, listening to music and you're just
(16:02):
living your dad, you know, you're living your dad to
day life and you just are, it's completely normal for
everything to be potentially AI robot created. I mean that
scares the heck out of me, to be honest with you.
So we'll see. Only time will tell. Let's get to
a quick update traving weather updates coming your way right here,
right now on news Radio.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Way forty whas.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
So, the college football season got started technically on week zero,
but obviously our first college football Saturday, this past Saturday
is when it felt real and it was the last
for Lee Corso, a guy who of course is I
don't know if he's the Dicky V equivalent for college football.
I would say I would say, there's some there's some
(16:42):
accuracy as far as having sort of a mascot kind
of feel like he puts the mascot head on. He's
you know, he's an entertainer really, But obviously he was
a great coach and clearly very successful in football. But
a lot of people my age and older, I would say,
think of him as being an analyst for ESPN and
of course being a part of college game Day, and
I oftentimes just because when I think of him, I
(17:04):
think of college game Day, and I think of his
relationship with with Kirk Curve Street and just what a
lot of people think of when they think of college football,
right turning on game day on a Saturday morning, And
I'll be honest with you, a lot of times, for
me now it's just background noise. It's not less if
I'm watching intently, but having it on as you're getting
ready to get, you know, for a full day of
college football, it's just, you know, what a lot of
(17:25):
people do. And it's I'm not trying to say that
the show's not is not good. It's just, you know,
I don't I'm not somebody looking to get predictions from
certain analysts. But nonetheless, at least just it's a nice
way to remind you of which games are are coming up.
But of course, so I often forget that he used
to coach. He used to coach at Louisville, and he
was here and had a great, great run. Of course
(17:46):
left us for Indiana, but yeah, he was at Louisville
from nineteen sixty nine to nineteen seventy two, went twenty eight,
eleven and three again, of course, before he ended up
leaving to go to take the job at IU. And
he was coaching at louisvill when Nick Saban played college
football on the MAC, and on game day on Saturday,
(18:06):
you heard Saban reference the team that came in to
play Louisville when Tom Jackson was here playing for Courso.
And I can't use the language that Saban used, but
you know, he let everybody know that that Louisville team
was for real and they had their way with Nick
Saban's team. In college, I forget where he went. It
might have been Kent State, maybe I know it was
a max school. But anyhow, course Courso went out on
(18:29):
a high note, not only getting so much love and
praise from so many people, not just of course, the
countless fans across the country, but obviously those that worked
alongside him. An emotional day as it was the last
time he's going to be a part of that show,
and you could see why as you could tell obviously
he's getting a lot older.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
But he went.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Five for five in making his picks, which that's hard
for anybody to do, but for it to be the
you know, for it to beast the last time he's
going to do it, to go perfect there, five for
five was awesome. So he did pick. He was the
only person that picked Las Shoot to knockoff Clemson. That
of course was a big win for Brian Kelly. He
(19:08):
also went on to pick Tennessee to beat Syracuse. That
happened without without much worry. He also called South Carolina
over Virginia Tech, and he didn't didn't just win, they
won big, by the way. And then he picked Florida
State over Alabama, which I think it is safe to
say is the biggest shocker of the first weekend of
college football. So yeah, I'll admit, of course, So you know,
(19:32):
he's not somebody I often thought about a whole lot,
but man, now that I do think about it, he's
been a part of my college football Saturday experience for
a long long time, and he will certainly certainly be missed.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
All Right, we've got traving no weather updates on the way.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Also another sports update coming your way with Scott Fitzgerald
right here on news Radio eight forty whas
Six so five here on a Tuesday morning, September second,
the first, the first ever edition, I guess, the first
ever September edition of Coffee and Company, Kentucky in this
morning news here our news radio eight forty whs. Because
we are here, we've made it to September. Hopefully you
guys had yourselves a good Labor Day weekend. I know
I did, And I don't know if there'd be any
(00:21):
way to actually track this, but I believe we are
in the midst of what has really been for ten
plus days now like the best stretch of weather that.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
We have had, maybe ever.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Again, I'm sure that's not the case, and I don't
even know how you'd be able to really determine that,
but you consider how pleasant and honestly perfect it seemed
at the end of August as far as just the weather,
I mean, it doesn't get much better than that, and
yesterday the heat did return a little bit, but I
wasn't going to complain. I feel bad complaining to Mother
Nature about anything right now, because man, I tell you
(00:57):
what the last again, if it's a bit me, it's
been about the last ten days roughly, and looks like
we still have some good weather in the works moving forward.
So again, I know we could you never know what
to expect, especially this time of year, but I was
not unhappy to see that the heat went away for
a while.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Man, it was nice.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I mean, oh he could.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I mean when you look at Saturday at Ellen N
Cardinal Stadium, and I'm sure it was the same way
in Lexington. I mean, just I don't know if you
could ask for better weather. We're talking sunshine eighty degrees ish.
I think it might have got a little bit hot,
a little bit warmer than that, and that's how Labor
Day weekends should be. But of course sometimes mother Nature
she doesn't accommodate quite like she did this past weekend.
(01:38):
But I'm glad she certainly did. I know, the World
Fest went on this past weekend. I think it wrapped
up yesterday down at the Belvedere, and I mean for
an event like that, you got to think weather could
have been more perfect for them.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, And I think this was the first time I
was able to cut my yard where I didn't feel
like I was in the movie Jamunjay, because I mean
it was so nice, because everything was, the humidity was low,
the yard was and soaking wet. You know, it just
was to your point, it was just a perfect weekend
all around, and was able to turn the grill on
and just you know, encompass that and hopefully that sticks
(02:10):
with us now. And because you know, we had looked
at the eight to fourteen day outlook last week sometime
and said that, you know, we're going to still experience
these doesn't mean it's not going to heat up every
now and then between now and winter, but sure, we'll
see what happened.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
And maybe i'm and maybe I am am just paying
more attention to it than I used to. But I
feel like even the visual outside as far as just
the crunch of leave, the grass turning a little bit brown.
Maybe that's because of lack of rain, but like I
feel like it looks like fall is approaching a little
earlier than it typically does. Maybe again, I'm just paying
more attention than than I used to, but I am
(02:46):
I'm not against it, because fall's best time of the
year in my opinion, and it really really seems that way.
Once once football gets started, well.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Well we'll probably rise a little bit.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Right now, they're saying, you know, the week of September ninth,
or the fifteenth, probably going to be a little bit
above normal temperature wise, but not anything crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And again I'll if I found myself uncomfortable because of weather,
whatever it may be, in the next couple of weeks,
I'd like to think that I'll think back, Okay, well,
hey it's fine. I'm not going to complain because again
mother Nature was good to us for a stretch there
and and right now again it's going to be warmer
in the next couple of days than it has been.
But still I'm not going to complain.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Now you're not as long as you're not dealing with
the one hundred plus degree temperatures in the heated extents.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And yes, when the air feels like you are a
you're a condiment in a bowl of soup like that's
that's that's not what we want.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
That's not fun for anybody.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
No, and then we'll see what winter brings and it'll
be fun. It always is fun winter to this time
of year you start coming down here and how driving
gets and whatnot. And for us it's not as simple
as just you know, you can't just say, hey, look
the weather's bad. I'm not coming into the office today.
We've got to still work our way down here, but
that's another story for another day.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But yeah, we'll see, we'll see what it does.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
But I'm glad we had.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
This same here and we'll get the expert to tell
us about the latest forecast coming up here in just
a moment, we were from Melosavich. Also will get traffic
updates from Bobby Ellis real quickly before we get to that.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Though.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
The one of the stories that you're seeing here locally,
and of course John Shannon mentioned it in his latest
newscast that as a shooting that took place where a
woman was killed last night around ten twenty. And I
don't know if it's just me, but when you can see,
for example, I'm watching wk WHY, our news partners their
newscast going on right now, and they're covering this story
(04:26):
as well, and just the visual of seeing the b
roll as they're showing the story discussing what happened, and
it shows the area south Brook Street near Broadway. When
I see a place that I'm often near, I drive
by quite a bit. I don't every day, but sometimes
I end up. I mean, it's that's just a few
blocks fromhere we're standing right now, but when you see
(04:48):
that a murder took place and it's a place that
you recognize because you drive past it or maybe it's
part of your everyday commute, there's just something different about
that one. Not to say that it's you know again,
murders happen, unfortunately, only pretty often in Louisville, and sometimes
it's places you're familiar with. Sometimes you think, okay, well,
I'm not sure where that is, but I don't know,
just seeing them covering a shooting that took place where
(05:08):
a woman is dead, and it's it's somewhere that i'm
you know, it's not far from where we're sitting right now.
I don't know. Just something something different about that. But anyways,
that's not the only situation we had over the weekend
where somebody lost their life here in Louisville. Just an
awful story where a drunk driver has been arrested because
of a crash that killed a twelve year old girl.
And now we know that it wasn't just one of
(05:31):
the drivers in this accident. There were two different vehicles
and the yeah, there was a driver driver this by
the way, this took place on New Cut Road on
I believe Friday Saturday Saturday at two thirty am, and
it was on New Cut Road in the northbound lane
of I sixty five where police Saya Dodge Durango was
was driven by thirty four year old Ronaldo Gill rear
(05:52):
ended a jeep Compass, causing it to roll over across
the median and then the land in the southbound lanes.
Now the jeep's driver who again was rear ended, she
was ejected and it's in the hospital with life threatening injuries.
But her infant child was found in a car seat
beneath the overturned jeep, also critically injured. But it was
the twelve year old daughter that was ejected and pronounced
dead at the scenes. So the driver of the Dodge
(06:16):
Durngo charged with murder, assault wanting endangerment am duy. But
now there's charges for the mother as well, Simpson, because
looks as if she did not have the baby's car
seat secured the way it was supposed to. Also the
twelve year old not wearing a seat belt. So just
an awful situation all the way around. So I mean,
(06:36):
these are things that again tragic in every way, especially
when you think of an innocent child who's not driving,
but yet out and about with parents at two thirty am,
doing god knows what. But just you know, somebody that's
supposed to take care of you, you know that they're not,
and then of course somebody out.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And drive you.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Just these stories are awful, but I will say it
does make me a little more mindful of you. Just
never know who's on the road way, regardless of where
you are, what you're doing, what's going through your mind.
Be as careful as possible because you and you could
be as careful as possible and still of course become
a victim of a crash because somebody's out there driving
under the influence. But man, just an awful situation from
(07:13):
over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
All right, quick break.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
We've got traffic of weather updates on the way right
here on news Radio eight forty WHAS It is Kentucky
and this morning news Coffee and company with you here
on News Radio eight forty whas, take us with you
wherever you go. Listen live at whas dot com. You
can also listen live on the iHeartRadio app. Nick Coffee,
that's me Scott fitz Jared alongside, and we've got John
Shannon with us here in the studio. He'll have another
news update for us coming up in about twelve minutes
(07:36):
or so. But he introduced me to something last week.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
John did that.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I will admit I initially felt like I was just,
you know, head in the sand. I should know this,
but I didn't. And now I don't feel as bad
because I'm not the only one, John, that was not
aware of what steak fingers are.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I ran into four.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
People, three that work here you included, plus Dwight Mitchell
on Friday that didn't. I had never heard of steak fingers,
and I'm like, I thought everybody knew what those.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
When you said steak finger I'm thinking of like a
kebab with like that's why you called it steak fingers,
but I'm thinking that that wouldn't be it, because you
would call that a kebab, right, So it's like country
fried steak, but in strips its strip form instead of
just the actual steak. And I mean, I love country
fried steak. It's one of my go tos at certain
(08:23):
restaurants like Country Fried Chicken as well. But you prepared
some last week the country fried steak fingers, and you
delivered them to.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Me I had them.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
They were phenomenal, and I did some digging, and it
is a different thing, like you're from Texas and it's
just kind of a known item, I suppose, whereas here,
you know, I was relieved to know I wasn't the
only idiot that didn't know what it was.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Well, yeah, I make that five too, because Gus didn't know.
And I took it a little step farther based on
one of the popular oil field restaurants out there where
I'm from, they actually took real strips of surloin to
do theirs. Instead of using like the this type of
meat that they use for chicken fried steak and just
cutting it up into strips. I took a surloin and
(09:06):
marinated it for a couple of days in the refrigerator
in Dale's and then sliced it up and did the
batter on them that way.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
So when you go to restaurants and like sit down
restaurants in that region of the country where you're from Texas,
is it a common menu item? Okay, because we have
country bred steak at certain restaurants depending upon the concept.
But again I'd not heard of this, but apparently you
can get them at Dairy Queen.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Right, you can get them at the at Dairy Queen
here in town. You can get a four piece chicken
steak finger basket. It's like the chicken fingers, except with
the steak like we're talking about, with the gravy and
the toast and the fries and yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah, I mean I just again. I mean, I'll country
fried steak itself is great, but it being in I
guess finger form it's just as good. And I did
not know much about it. But I feel like you've
you've educated me when it comes to food here, because
now I'm going to be looking at certain restaurants when
I get there and say, hey, do they have these
on the menu, because it was very, very delicious, and
(10:04):
you're spoiling me.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Now you've brought me chili to sample later.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Today, I made a big pot of chili, and I
tend to share. I know it's a little early, but
the grandson over NILANOI said he wanted some, so I
made a big pot and had some extra here. I'm like,
I'm not gonna be able to eat all this by
myself this week, so you know, I share with friends.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I'm not volunteering myself to organize it because I wouldn't
be great at it, but it would be awesome for
us to have a chili cook off here at iHeart
because one I want to selfishly just try everybody's chili
because I love sampling different chilies. I didn't used to
like chili at all, or east I again, I have
the toddler. I have a palette of a toddler, so
there's a lot of foods I just assumed I wouldn't like,
and now I'm like, okay, no, this is pretty good.
(10:41):
But yeah, we need to have a chili cook off.
And again, I'll I wouldn't care who wins. I just
want to try everybody's chili and bring your prilo sec
But well said, that'll be needed. That'll be needed for sure.
But thank you, John. Let's get to a quick update
of trafficking weather. We've also got a sports update com
when you're way, with Scott Fitzgerald right here on News
Radio eight forty whas So. One of the things in
(11:02):
the last few months since I've been in this position
that we've talked about quite a bit is artificial intelligence AI,
and it is developing rapidly impressive, some really cool stuff
that can be done, but of course also scary for
folks who realize, wait a second, they've created technology, a robot,
a formula, if you will, that can do something that
(11:24):
I have done my whole life as an adult, to
provide a living, to make a living for myself and
take care of my family.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
What's that mean for me?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
It's an understandable reaction from a lot of folks. And
there is a new poll that reveals that there's from
this and again, take it for what it's worth, but
I'm not surprised at all to see that this pole
does reveal that there's a deep concern from the public
about artificial intelligence eliminating jobs, not only that, but threatening security,
(11:57):
disrupting relationships. I'm I'm not a huge AI nerd, but
I am fascinated to see what can be done with
artificial intelligence, and I've found ways to utilize it that
I that some I've actually some things I've done that
are actually helping me as far as just saving time
(12:18):
on certain things, teaching myself how to do certain things.
There's other things that I don't really have a lot
of use for personally, but just to see how you
can utilize it is pretty impressive. But again, all those
things I think are legitimate concerns, limiting jobs, security threats,
and of course disrupting relationships, meaning if you're relying on
AI for everything, which I know a lot of people
(12:40):
don't do that now, but with how rapidly it is,
it's advancing and growing and becoming more common. Five years
from now, who knows what things look like. So I'm
not at all surprised. I totally get it. But seventy
one percent of Americans now worry that AI will permanently
replace too many workers. So you've got also seventy seven
(13:05):
percent that say they fear AI is going to be
used to create political chaos. You have forty eight percent
that oppose AI deciding military strike targets. And when it
comes to the energy impact, sixty one percent worry about
AI's massive power demands. And that's something that I'm that's
a little bit over you know, a little bit above
(13:26):
over my head as far as just the energy demands
that AI utilizes. But Google has signed deals with utilities
to reduce power use at their AI data centers during
peak demand, which I guess is a good sign. But
I mean the companies like Google of course they're gonna
be the ones that are willing to. I mean, if
(13:47):
you think like you're just think of some some some
rando who figures out, wow, AI is pretty useful.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Look what I can do.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Imagine like what Google is going to be able to
do with it when it's all said and done.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
So I think I think what comes to light Nick
and your right to be so on point about this,
and that is that AI is we're going to learn
how to use it effectively, inefficiently, and to our advantage.
Each individual will to use it. It's not the boogeyman
that it once was when it first came out.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
And I'm glad you said that because I understand really
both sides of it. I think that it's something that
you should be mindful of and worry about the threat
that it could pose for all these things we've just
discussed here. But also it's a resourceful tool. And as
much as people are against it because of what it
may do to their profession, you being able to utilize
it to help you do what you do well only
(14:36):
can only help you. I mean, there are people who
want to hire somebody who knows they could be more
efficient at their job if they know how to use it.
Now again, there's going to be certain jobs that you
got to wonder if if those really exist. But I mean,
I just what I worry about is if we all
end up using it to figure things out. Yeah, it's effective,
it's efficient, but like, are we actually learning anything? I mean,
(14:59):
I think that's where were kind of become robots. I mean,
thirty six percent say AI will improve education, forty percent disagree,
the others are unsure. I won't claim to be an
expert by any means, but I find that hard to believe.
I don't think you're actually gonna learn anything if you're
just relying on You're relying on and now again, you may.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Always have it at your disposal. Like they told us, we.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Never have calculators when we got older, and we do, right,
our phones have those have calculators. And there's certain things
I learned in math that I'll never need to use,
but you know, at least I learned how to do it.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I was gonna say.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
It kind of goes along those lines where like certain
like handyman and auto repair folks say, quit going to
YouTube to try to figure out how to fix something.
But on the same token that kind of taught.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Me how to fix something.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
The things I've learned, Yeah from YouTube. I mean, I
know I'm not alone. Yeah, it's here's here's where I
will Here's where I will really worry about AI at
a higher at a higher level. Whenever nobody even worries
or thinks about whatever they're doing and consuming, is it
AI generated or because that's when we become robots. Right Like,
if you're watching movies, listening to music and you're just
(16:02):
living your dad, you know, you're living your dad to
day life and you just are, it's completely normal for
everything to be potentially AI robot created. I mean that
scares the heck out of me, to be honest with you.
So we'll see. Only time will tell. Let's get to
a quick update traving weather updates coming your way right here,
right now on news Radio.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Way forty whas.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
So, the college football season got started technically on week zero,
but obviously our first college football Saturday, this past Saturday
is when it felt real and it was the last
for Lee Corso, a guy who of course is I
don't know if he's the Dicky V equivalent for college football.
I would say I would say, there's some there's some
(16:42):
accuracy as far as having sort of a mascot kind
of feel like he puts the mascot head on. He's
you know, he's an entertainer really, But obviously he was
a great coach and clearly very successful in football. But
a lot of people my age and older, I would say,
think of him as being an analyst for ESPN and
of course being a part of college game Day, and
I oftentimes just because when I think of him, I
(17:04):
think of college game Day, and I think of his
relationship with with Kirk Curve Street and just what a
lot of people think of when they think of college football,
right turning on game day on a Saturday morning, And
I'll be honest with you, a lot of times, for
me now it's just background noise. It's not less if
I'm watching intently, but having it on as you're getting
ready to get, you know, for a full day of
college football, it's just, you know, what a lot of
(17:25):
people do. And it's I'm not trying to say that
the show's not is not good. It's just, you know,
I don't I'm not somebody looking to get predictions from
certain analysts. But nonetheless, at least just it's a nice
way to remind you of which games are are coming up.
But of course, so I often forget that he used
to coach. He used to coach at Louisville, and he
was here and had a great, great run. Of course
(17:46):
left us for Indiana, but yeah, he was at Louisville
from nineteen sixty nine to nineteen seventy two, went twenty eight,
eleven and three again, of course, before he ended up
leaving to go to take the job at IU. And
he was coaching at louisvill when Nick Saban played college
football on the MAC, and on game day on Saturday,
(18:06):
you heard Saban reference the team that came in to
play Louisville when Tom Jackson was here playing for Courso.
And I can't use the language that Saban used, but
you know, he let everybody know that that Louisville team
was for real and they had their way with Nick
Saban's team. In college, I forget where he went. It
might have been Kent State, maybe I know it was
a max school. But anyhow, course Courso went out on
(18:29):
a high note, not only getting so much love and
praise from so many people, not just of course, the
countless fans across the country, but obviously those that worked
alongside him. An emotional day as it was the last
time he's going to be a part of that show,
and you could see why as you could tell obviously
he's getting a lot older.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
But he went.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Five for five in making his picks, which that's hard
for anybody to do, but for it to be the
you know, for it to beast the last time he's
going to do it, to go perfect there, five for
five was awesome. So he did pick. He was the
only person that picked Las Shoot to knockoff Clemson. That
of course was a big win for Brian Kelly. He
(19:08):
also went on to pick Tennessee to beat Syracuse. That
happened without without much worry. He also called South Carolina
over Virginia Tech, and he didn't didn't just win, they
won big, by the way. And then he picked Florida
State over Alabama, which I think it is safe to
say is the biggest shocker of the first weekend of
college football. So yeah, I'll admit, of course, So you know,
(19:32):
he's not somebody I often thought about a whole lot,
but man, now that I do think about it, he's
been a part of my college football Saturday experience for
a long long time, and he will certainly certainly be missed.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
All Right, we've got traving no weather updates on the way.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Also another sports update coming your way with Scott Fitzgerald
right here on news Radio eight forty whas
