Al, it's time for cops rock. A little after ten o'clock on Thursday,
Dave Jennings to flow out his shoels. My friend, the only easier
thing than finding tools is finding cops that rock. We're going to go to
Wisconsin, Wisconsin. I'm ready to go to Wisconsin. Let's go where a
Milwaukee officer is recovering after being hit by another cruiser during a pursuit. Oh
boy. The pursuit began when officers attempted to stop a car wanted in connection
with the carjacking and shooting. The driver sped off, leading police on a
chase captured by State Transportation cameras. Video showed the car entering and exiting interstate
ramps. At one point, the vehicle can be seen on surveillance crossing lanes
of traffic to make a quick exit off the highway. Some cruisers followed,
others continued straight, We're back on the Interstate. We're back on the Interstate.
From thirty fifth the cop can be heard saying an officer was waiting at
the end of that ramp, ready to just deploy spike strips right. The
suspect vehicle avoided the strips by swore bring into the freeway before the end of
the ramp. The officer took steps nearer to traffic, still attempting to stop
the vehicle with the strips, before turning around and running back toward the shoulder
as he tried to run off the road. Video shows another cruiser in pursuit
strike the officer on the ramp. Oh He was taken to a hospital with
serious but non life threatening injuries. The vehicle escaped. All because somebody wants
to be an a hole. The guy got away got away. That wasn't
Al Cowlings. I saw. I think it was on Sunday morning on CBS.
They got this thing now in the front of the cop cars that that
it's like James Bond. So they just push a button and it shoots a
tracker with JELO and it sticks to the car. So then they don't have
to have this high speed pursuit. They can just track it from their computer.
So it's like GPS Goo. Yeah, So it's just like it's the
GPS thing or whatever, like Apple tag whatever. They that's pretty cool.
He's with GOO and it's just got this thing on the front end of the
car. He shoots it from inside the card. He goes chaupunk sticks to
the end of the car. Pretty sweet, it is cool. He did
a guy with a squirt gun, not spike strips. A police officer in
Arizona shot while intervening in an attempt at armed robbery. It occurred with several
armed suspects attempted to rob a vehicle. A uniformed Phoenix Police Department officer who
was working off duty at a local business was contacted about the incident and approached
the suspects. At least one of the robbers then began firing in the direction
of the officer. He was unable to return fire, shot several times,
according to the report. Statements issued by the department called the incident a violent
ambush style attack. Quote. We had an officer who was violently attacked wile
truly doing his job, and not just attacked, but ambushed. He was
ambushed as he went to try to help folks that were being preyed upon and
robbed and put himself in harm's way, shot several times, but released from
the hospital. These suspects also got away. Oh come on, I mean,
all the people who criticized police officers, I wish you would go on
a ride along on an overnight ride along in a certain neighborhood for a couple
nights in a row. Then let's see if you change your tune. This
guy was probably doing security at a local business who'd been robbed, probably hired
by the shop owner. Someone outside is getting carjacked. He goes to help
get shot several from the shot. That's right, Phoenix, that's right.
No, we had a police officer on. Remember we had a police officer
once and he was like, yeah, I left police force and were like,
well happened to that? I got no fight with a naked drug addict.
And while I'm fighting him, I'm thinking what can I do and not
do? Right? So I don't go to jail for protecting my life because
I got it. Would get into a fight with a naked drug add and
he might have a needle that could stick here, and who knows what's in
that but a good story. Authorities in Oklahoma recently rescued a dog that had
been injured by a train and stuck on the tracks for three days. Captured
on body camera, Deputy J. Hutton all first initials. For some reason
of the Wagoner County Sheriff's Office and a Wagoner police Captain b Harding worked together
to save the animal. Unable to reach the dog with the patrol unit,
the officials called for a side by side vehicle. Oh what the hell is
that? It's a side by side vehicle which can access difficult terrain. With
the help of Lieutenant J. Half Acre half Acre, I like that name,
they successfully rescued the dog from the tracks and reassured it that everything was
going to be okay. Taken to a vet, expected to recover, not
shot at rescuing dogs. Anything can happen to a police officer on a given
day. Cops, it's like a gator side by side is like, oh
gotcha, it's just like a gator thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, it's all terrain kind of thing. All right, it's cops.
Rock You bought like your muffins, dude? Yeah. I couldn't talk because
I was still chewing a muffin. Costco muffins Buy one, get one berry
muffins. That that thing was buy one, get one free. Yes,
okay, six big muffins. Okay. First of all, those are muffins.
That's cake. It is cake. They are spongey. There's spongy cake.
I just Ian was out there and I said, ooh, I said,
I'd like the warm and I put butter on it. He goes,
no, they're good by themselves. Said I would too. He goes no,
he didn't. He goes he goes, no, you don't need it.
And I was like, is it like cake? He goes, yes,
yeah it is. It's really good. I was like, oh,
I'm gonna have to take a lit bit. I can't. I had half
a muffin. I take a little bit, half a little bit like half
acre. Have you ever heard of the redheaded libertarian? No, Charlie Brown
was in love with the red headed girl who may have been a libertarian.
This girl is on Twitter and she does videos and she's got a doctor degree
in relationships or whatever, and she kind of breaks down relationships and she dives
into she knows. She thinks she knows why women in their thirties are not
getting married or the marriages aren't doing well? All right, do you want
to know her? Thinking, I'm not sure, but sure? What if
I always said, I said, I said, sevens end up with sevens,
and nine's ends up with nine, tens up ends up with ten.
It's weird that way. But you thought we should shoot down a little bit,
like a ten should go for a seven a guy. A guy should
marry a seven. It's a perfect it's a perfect number between you're assuming all
guys are tens. No, no, I know, and girls should marry
a seven, right, because you start to uh, the really hot people
are weirdos. Sorry, it ends up that way. My favorite one is
I'm so hot no one will talk to me or ask me out, I
know, because I'm too hot to approach. There's plenty of dense guys that
don't know what category they're in. No death hit on you, trust me.
But I saw Remember I saw that special where they did a They did
a from a four to a ten. So they said, you know,
I identified everybody's four as a ten, and they cut them loose into a
party. And what happened was the guys that girls ended up getting together like
talking the most and kind of saying, yeah, that would be my one
or two first choices, the four to the fourth, the five to the
five. That matched up. It matched up all the way up. And
you're like, duh, all right, so here's what I think she's going
to say. Okay, we're looking for perfection. Now millennials gen z ers,
if there's like one flaw, they'll call that a red flag and it's
off. Okay, yeah, but no, here we go. So she
says, there are she goes, very few nine or tens women. The
nines are tens that are women aren't on uh dating sites because they don't need
it, right, because they're tens. They got guys hitting on them all
the time. No, they don't. Nobody hits on me to me because
I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid of you. Why yeah, So but
she goes not there are some nine or ten guys on dating gaps because they're
manhores, and the man whores will go on the wet on the dating site.
And most dating sites are six or sevens. That's the women. So
the guys are thinking they are going to flock to me. No, no,
they do, because they do. So the girls hook up with these
nine or tens in their twenties even though they're a six or a seven.
Okay, so now they're used to hooking up with tens, right, So
when the dating app thing is over and you're having to settle down, well,
they don't settle down with a ten because the ten guy is going to
settle down with a ten girls, but she's still gonna want a ten.
That's exactly right. So she gets into really this is all the opinion of
the redheaded libertarian, she says. She goes, here's the thing you get.
She gets in her thirties, she gets married to a seven, and
then she feels like she's settled for a seven. I guess it's time to
have a family with Mitch. Feels like I've settled for this seven, and
I should have. I was dating nine and tens when I was in my
twenties. That's who I should have ended up with. We've known people though
they got lucky with someone really hot ones and they think it can happen again.
Yeah, and they never settle. But they're outliers. I mean,
look at all relationships. If you when you go to a business or we
go to a company function and everybody brings their spouses, it makes sense.
That gets very rare, like Susan and Dwight. That one doesn't make sense.
Well, Becky got a seven, so see it works. It works,
and she's a nine at least, right, so she did. What
advice is you're not saying settled, are you No, No, she went
to solid, she went, oh, gotcha, she went to dependable,
reliable Dave. Well, he's dependable not awful looking. But here's the thing.
I think this redheaded libertarian is onto something. I think that's probably and
you're right to your point before, is that the these uh men and women
are looking for perfection now because if they get a bunch of tens while they're
dating off sites, they think they're that hot too. Yes, correct,
that's what she's saying. And it's like, you're not. You don't belong
in that world. You're a seven. You need to be with the sevens,
and that's who you're gonna end up with. But who look at themselves
and says I'm a four? Who does that? I think apparently. I
think a lot of people are. No. Look, there are very few
women or men, mostly men, because men are idiots that are that that
bat try to bat way out of their category. Right. Most women are
right, they realize where they are, and most men do, but there
are some dumbasses. That's why the whole sexual harassment thing at work is a
problem. Because the guy that just doesn't like stop hitting on her. She
is way out of your league. Stop. And the women will also instantly
identify the other numbers in the room. Oh oh women, Oh yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, women is a
competition thing. So they're looking at the other seven. Hey, there's a
ten guy over there where my competition is. Oh, she's a nine with
better get busy, right. But we you know, we we have seen
some what we think is of a six for a guy with a nine or
ten and the what's the first thing you jump to, Well, it's equation
is he's got money, he's got no. That is the X. I
tell Jackie every time she gets a bonus, like a large bonus at work,
or she gets a raise, I go, you, you're prettier today
than you were before the rings. And it's true. It works. The
more money she makes, the prettier my wife gets. That's period, end
of story. I get it, I get it, I do. So
it's money, guys, that's why you decided to to fix your hair and
lose weight, dude, Weight Loss Centers of Louisville. Jackie and I both
looked at each other. This this summer too much wide and too many appetizers
on the back deck the and not working out enough, sitting on our ass
on the weekends, we got fat. I think we looked at each other
because we're pretty honest. We don't pull punches, and hey, you're getting
to be a fatty. You're a fatty too. I was like, let's
do something about it. Went to Weight Loss Centers of Louisville nine oh six
seventy one oh five, nine oh six seventy one oh five. They got
a couple of weight loss programs you can jump on. We jumped on one
of their types and it worked like we got we lost the way we wanted
to lose in like three weeks and we've kept it off. We've kept it
off and we're also doing the red light therapy and it's been working also.
I have an appointment today, she has another appointment tomorrow. We're going twice
a week. It helps with your skin and lose weight. It's fantastic.
So Weight Loss Centers of Louisville nine oh six seventy one oh five right now
a forty nine dollars special, forty nine dollars special. Usually the treatments five
hundred. This is a forty nine dollars special. If you call nine oh
six seventy five and say I want the Vinetti Special, which meant something different
than cot. I was gonna say, what was his name? All right,
back after this, we'll take a short break. Don't forget we got
Nick Coffee. He's going to try to explain this why college fans are not
suckers today and how they're paying for everything and still getting the shaft. And
I'm pretty excited about our new coach, I have to say. And I'm
really excited about the news. Did you see what he put out the other
day? It's it said, uh to his tweet, every piece of blue
has been eliminated from my wardrobe. He's doing. The revival has begun.
The revive Ville has begun. The passion in the minds and hearts of cardination
is like no other. Tap into that. All right back after this,
News Radio eight forty Whair's all right, welcome in Folks News Radio eight forty
whas the Tony and Dwight Show with Dave Jennings, brought to you by the
Kentucky Office of Highway Safety. We bring in the definitive voice for sports in
the Ville, and that is Nick Coffee on Sports Talk seven ninety three pm.
To six pm. Nick, How are you, sir? Doing well?
How are you guys? We're one weekndo this new era at Louisville Basketball
and I'm excited. And we've already heard more from Pat Kelsey than we did
Kenny Payne in two years. Yeah, no doubt about it. And I
hate that the first week I've had these flashbacks, but I can't help it
because of the drastic difference between the two guys. I mean, Pat Kelsey,
as you said, in a week, just be engaging with the fans,
just little things here and there on social media that you know, not
only he's doing to get fans excited. He looks like he enjoys doing it.
Anytime we saw the previous coach, he thought somebody had a gun to
his back forcing him to do it. So just something new, something fresh.
It's exciting in itself. But yes, the the box that really needed
to be checked among men, he was to get people fired up, right,
to be relatable, likable, high energy, And there's no doubt he
is. He's done exactly that had in his first week on job. Uh.
You know when they first came out, when nil was first discussed,
I came out hard against it. I put out some tweets and was just
laughing at it because I was like, this is fantastic. The universities are
off the hook. They don't have to pay the kids, uh, the
student athletes, the fans will I mean, just like everything else. They're
parking, pass their tickets, their their t shirts, uh, and well
by why not? And they and they and they're laughing. Universities are laughing
and people call me old man yelling at the sky, and I just let
it go whatever, and it seemed like it was. It was doing its
thing, and let's see how it all pans out. And then yesterday I'm
looking at the Huntley Hatfield kid, the play the guy that played the five
at louisvill last year, and they think that he could get a million dollars
or his asking a million dollars. I don't know if that's an accurate report,
but that I jumped out on me and I was just like, a
mid level five is asking for a million dollars uh to play basketball. And
then I'm seeing the the a couple of the sports personalities going back and forth
on how much their anil is, how much their anil is, and how
much money they're raising and how much we're raising. And I mean, I'm
sorry, why why you explained to me why a college sports fan is not
a sucker? I can't. You know, this is a conversation I've had
twice and it's both Tom's been with you. Just as far as the I
mean, it's something people care so much about. They're passionate about that.
Honestly, I think people if they can, meaning they could afford it without
you know, losing their mortgage or whatever, they they'll do it without hesitating
because it's just it's something they've cared about so much. I mean, I
think, you know, we had somebody who reached out to the show two
days ago on Monday that I thought a good point. I mean, he
was he was kind of angry and there about an il. I think the
way he said it, you know, came off as a bitter old man,
but he made a lot of good points. And that is U of
L went out and they made a horriddo's mistake by hiring Kenny Payne. They
gave him a contract that made those sense as far as his buyout, knowing
nobody else was going to come and hire him, and now they had to
go pay a coach two point three million, which is drastically low for Louisville's,
for Louisville's, you know, for the caliber program they are. But
yet now they're they're pushing all efforts into telling fans to the collective so they
can go buy players. Just one. They're not allowed to go buy players
the school themselves because again that's not allowed. So I mean, like,
if people don't want to do it, I totally get it. I would
never tell anybody what they should spend their money on. What I think is
there's a lot of folks in the younger generation that like season tickets, and
this is meyer, I'm not that young, but you know, I'm not
old, not as old as you guys. But like the thought of getting
a season ticket and paying a donation, like the cost of that, like
that just wasn't That's just not something I think a lot of the younger folks
would do. I mean, that's an older thing that you know. It's
just you can go to every game you want without paying that donation, without
having a ticket. You can do that. It's not that difficult. You
save a lot of money. So I think those younger folks, because they're
not paying those annual prices. Maybe they're putting their money towards an il.
But yes, the way people support something that really, you know, they
love but they don't have it, it's it's it's odd, and I hate
having the conversation because you're you're right, it's kind of we're kind of sick.
And as far as how much we care and obsess about this stuff,
but you know, it's my life. We we can pine about the good
old days. But once you start paying the kids, you're not going to
unpay all of them. But two tweaked that I think need to happen.
One, don't declare for the portal so all the tournament games are done.
And two you get one transfer without sitting. You don't get multiple transfers without
sitting for a year. Free agency is is taken hold of college basketball and
football. Yeah, and look, I think those that just makes it much
less hectic. I do think that just being able to up and leave whenever
you don't get played in time or somebody made you mad, like that's not
good for anybody. I mean, that's not that's it's just I mean,
heck, maybe certain kids find a better situation, but Here's what happens,
DAVI, is that the ns double A doesn't really have the right to tell
you that you can't go. What are you doing right now? What are
you doing that's loud? I don't know. There's a truck near me,
but it's not that close. It sounds like you're raking leaves. It sounds
like you're raking dry leaves, which could be impossible because it's rained for four
days. But stop moving near me, stop movies, don't move, don't
move. The n C double A gets their ass kicked in court every single
time. So when it comes to the one time transfer role they lose.
They don't you know, I guess the court's essentially say you don't have the
right to tell a college athlete that they have to sit because you know,
I won't. I don't know the legalities of it, but that's that's what's
going on right now. It's an absolute free for all, mostly because that
anytime there's any rule that INSTEABLA has in place, which is probably for a
good reason, they take it to court, like right now, there's no
regulation than I know, like they put Tennessee and I think Virginia and Florida
State they got into some trouble and it went to court and now the NUBA
just for the time being, and who knows winning ends. They just don't
have the ability to tell anybody what they can and can't do, which is
really not a thing. But yeah, I mean players are have all the
power they were from having literally no power, right like the n stuble A
would just decide no, you're ineligible, and it's because of this and that
you know, deal with it. Life's tough. Now. I think the
players have way more power and control than anyone. All right, I'm done
with my rant, so let's talk actual basketball. And I got to tell
you, Jackie and I we've watched every Purdue game almost all season long and
watched this team and thought, well, that can they do it this year?
And then I got to tell you, having a team that you're cheering
for go make a deep run in the tournament, I forgot how good that
feels. Good that feels. And now Purdue will be the first game against
nc State, the ACC representative and the big guy matchup DJ and Edie are
going to be. The ratings for that game are going to be gigantor no
doubt about it, and I remember what it was like to have a team
making a deep run that you care about, and I hope to one day
have that feeling again. I know it'll happen at some point in my life
because it's not Louisville. I'll just, you know, eventually find another team
because this has been it's been weird getting used to not having you know,
a team to to, you know, to follow all year as far as
a deep run. But with Purdue and n C State, I mean,
Purdue is a team that I just feel like they don't play a sexy style
in the eyes of a lot of folks, especially with the new era of
basketball. But they're damn good. They were good all year. They were
great last year, and I think because they were made the Final four under
Matt Painter. They lost to a sixteen seed last year, anybody who watched
them throughout the season that they were one of the best teams in the country,
but you felt you feel unsure about trusting them to make it all the
way here because again, it hadn't happened before. But they are I'm surprised
this is not a bigger storyline in this Final Four is that they are on
path to do potentially exactly what Virginia did. It was to a sixteen seed
yep, we thought would never happen, and then go win the national championship.
Now, yea, he passed n C State. E'sier said and done,
and obviously New CON's a monster. But I actually like Matt Painter.
I think he's a really good coach. I don't think you could really make
a case that he's not. He finally broke through. His team is really
good and he does it his way. Man. I know he's got players
that were decently ranked and had some good offers, but overall, I mean
there's some guys on that team that you can just tell probably were not elite
level recruits, but they fit the way he wants to play. Meeting coach
Painter, and they're a damn gore team. You know. I think NC
State's magic. I feel like he should have ran out a long time ago,
but here they are. And DJ Burns he's been the darling of the
tournament. And just the visual of those two guys guarding each other, I
mean, those two guys for very different reasons. Just if you look at
the cast of characters in the entire tournament, those two guys stand out in
more ways than one, and now we're going to see him going up against
each other. Do we have any idea at all what Louisville's roster is going
to look like next year? A lot different, in fact, entirely different.
So right now they've got two guys that have followed. Pat Kelsey from
Charleston freshman big who didn't have big numbers, but certainly a guy that has
a lot of upside and for what it's worth, it wouldn't be great at
this level. But Pat Kelsey at the College of Charleston and the CIA did
recruit pretty pretty well. In fact, he had top one fifty players and
that didn't happen at places like that. And also Rain Smith is a journeyman,
a guy who's been around for four I think his fifty year, but
he's he's a sharp shooter, guy who shot at forty percent from three.
And then yesterday they had the addition of Sunbelt player year Terrence Terrence. It
goes by Fats, but Terrence Edwards Junior is his name. He was part
of that James Madison team that had a great season thirty two and four.
So like Fats Domino or like Fats, it's just Fatts, that's his nickname,
so fast Edwards. Yeah, and he's not he's not fat at all.
He's very thin actually, but yeah, so he's I mean, he's
one of the top ten players available in the portal right now, Dave.
To your question, Dave, nobody has a clue. But it's exciting just
knowing it's gonna be brand new. And here's one thing that right now,
Pat Kelsey has at his disposal one a lot of nile resources, which is
needed this day and age. He's already a great salesman. We know that.
And also like he's not waiting around to hear what anybody's gonna do.
He's got right now as we speak, ten scholarships to use, and he's
he's flying across the country trying to find guys to fill out this roster.
So you know it'll happen pretty quickly though, because the portal, you know,
the window of it being open is not what it once was. So
who knows. I would be shocked with him the next week. We've got
a couple maybe three more guys on this roster, and it'll be weird,
man. I mean, we're talking about you have turnover in years past in
college basketball, but we are going to see I'm pretty sure thirteens get scholarship
players on this team next year that we'd never heard of probably a year prior,
which is just insane, but hey, it's it's it's the way it's
got to be done. But it's a great I was thinking of this.
I agree it's all gonna be new players, and there's not one from the
year before. But it's a great way for fans like me that jumped out
to jump back in because no one knows the players, and you're like,
well, let's get to let's all get to know him right now and and
and learn them because to get back in because I'm back in and this coach
got me back in, I'm interested in the games. Come in. I
will always remember the press conference and how awesome it was. And I always
remember the technicism that you sent me during the press confidence because I felt I
felt the exact same way. And let me tell you a funny story about
Pat Kelsey that I so obviously those I think a lot of people know his
history. He was an assistant for Chris mcintzavier for a little while. They
kind of came up in the same coaching tree Skip Prosser, and I talked
to a couple of people to day he was going to be introduced and know
him really well. He just said, hey, you know, this is
hit the moment, right, like the press conference, speaking like selling,
like this is where he's going to thrive. Uh and and two different people
said, oh, yeah, he'll kill it. And then they also said
that he's a used car salesman. And I've always thought that meant somebody's a
phony. I've always thought that was like an insult. I'm like, wait
a second, you go talking this guy up. Yeah, how great he's
gonna be. And yet you're telling me he's a phony. And then here
he comes at the press conference, talks about selling used cars. That's how
he made a living before we could get paid. Yes, I'm thinking,
okay, they were being serious. The guy is a salesman. Yes,
yes, there's nothing against used car salesman. Dude, that's what I did
for I got in the radio, you jerk, and you were you were
a phony, yank. Oh you could see that. Thank you, Thank
you all right, man, we'll talk to you. Oh boy, give
me the leaves a right, Yeah, give me, give me the national
champion. You got ten seconds national champion. It's Yukon. I just can't
see them being beat they They've had a thirty point lead on everybody throughout this
tournament. I think it'll be competitive in both of these games, but I
think Dan Hurley wins his back to back titles. Wow. All right,
Nick Coffee's his name. From three pm to six pm on Sports Talk seven
to ninety. We'll talk to you soon. Go back to Raking Leaves all
right, back after this on News Radio eight forty wh
