WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:01.960 All right, it is six so five here Kentucky in 2 00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:04.280 this morning news coffee and company with you on news 3 00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:07.320 Radio eight forty whas. Thanks for hanging out with us 4 00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:10.199 and spending your Friday morning with us. We're with you 5 00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:11.880 for the next few hours and of course getting you 6 00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:15.279 set for the weekend. I mentioned earlier as we started 7 00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:17.679 the show that I'm gonna be I'm going to be 8 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.760 a solo dad this weekend. My wife's going out of 9 00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:23.640 town and she's going to a concert, and I'm happy 10 00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:25.640 that she's going to go have a good time. She 11 00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.320 deserves a little weekend away. And there's really no this 12 00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.399 is nobody's fault, but I'm just curious. I can't be alone. 13 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:36.840 As far as being very close to my kids, I'm 14 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.479 with them a lot. It's not uncommon that I just 15 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.359 have them whenever I pick them up from school, daycare, 16 00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:44.600 whatever it may be because their moms at work or 17 00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.960 their mom's doing something. So it's not like I've never 18 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.000 been left alone with my kids by myself. I have often, 19 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.039 but I don't get jealous. It's just the way it is, 20 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.920 where like sometimes they just want mom, and I'm gonna 21 00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.240 be dealing with that all weekend. I could take some pointers, 22 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.799 some advice if any, but he hasn't. He just to 23 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.000 distract them because they'll know that she's I mean, they'll 24 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:06.280 be made aware that she's going to be gone and 25 00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.480 she'll be traveling, and she'll she'll return Sunday, but that 26 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.480 is not going to keep either of them from asking 27 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.040 me where she is when she's going to be back, 28 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.400 probably every every ten minutes or so. Uh so, And 29 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.280 I I don't feel any any way of like, well, hey, 30 00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:27.239 because because here's the thing. Whenever at times a father 31 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.480 has asked for like hey, you know, can you help 32 00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.000 me with the kids? Or it's not because they're helpless 33 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:33.359 and they don't know what they're doing, but like there's 34 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.719 just certain things that like your kids want their mom 35 00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.760 to do more so than the dad. And you know, 36 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:40.519 that's what I'm going to be, you know, I say, 37 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.640 dealing with like I'm like, I like, it's some hardship 38 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:44.719 that I'm going to have to recover from. Thoughts and 39 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.840 prayers please for me. But it's just you know, they 40 00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.599 want their mama sometimes and we'll have fun, we'll make 41 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.359 the best of it. But that's that's the beauty of 42 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.120 like FaceTime. That could but that could be like that 43 00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.400 could backfire, right, Like I could see my daughter seeing 44 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.159 her mom and then realizing, wait a second, I just 45 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.760 really realized you're not here, and I'm gonna be upset 46 00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:05.239 about it and I'm gonna cry and let you know 47 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.479 that you need to come home. So anyways, we'll have fun, 48 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.680 and this would be a nice weekend to be out 49 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.479 and about and just let them play outside and have 50 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:16.360 fun and. 51 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:18.039 Really let them get worn down so they go to 52 00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.199 bed early. That's kind of what I'm hoping for there. 53 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.879 But I may get you know, I may feel like 54 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:24.800 a bad father having them out in this heat, because 55 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.719 it's gonna be brutal. It is going to be sticky, humid, 56 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.520 and uh, that's that's not very fun. So we'll probably 57 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.080 find a pool and uh and make the most of it. John, 58 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.680 you've got any big weekend plans. 59 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:36.680 Nothing super substantial. 60 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:38.120 I didn't that great. 61 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.439 Sometimes this is kind of this is the calm before 62 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:44.360 the storm, because next weekend we have week zero college football? 63 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:45.759 Is that next weekend? 64 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:46.039 It is? 65 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:46.919 You shut your mouth. 66 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.800 I'm kidding, super Just get let's get through this heat 67 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.479 and we're gonna have a few college football games next Saturday, 68 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.479 and then things really hit the ground running in two 69 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.599 weeks when all of our local teams get get. 70 00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.680 Started, and then and then it's then it's on right 71 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.240 then then we've got college football parlays we're building every week. 72 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.800 We've got college basketball not too far away from that. 73 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.479 And that is when life is just better for me, 74 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:13.240 as somebody who probably probably relies on sports to you know, 75 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.639 keep my pass exactly that. That's a really good way 76 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.960 to put it, really good way to put it. So yeah, 77 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:21.960 it'll be here soon. Speaking of college football, we'll talk 78 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.560 about this coming up on the other side. So ESPN 79 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.520 and the NFL have merged, and I don't know the 80 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:33.039 exact terms of the overall arrangement, but basically ESPN now 81 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.120 owns Red Zone, like the brand and in the Red 82 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.080 Zone channel where you watch NFL games in that in 83 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.360 that format is a beautiful thing. 84 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:42.840 I love it. 85 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.080 I don't think there's a better sports experience really than 86 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:47.759 just sitting in front of the TV on a Sunday 87 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.479 and watching the Red Zone as they keep you updated 88 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:52.639 about what's going on in every game. It's awesome. I 89 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.960 cannot wait for it to happen. But because now that 90 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.159 they've bought the rights to utilize that for other sports. 91 00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.280 There's been talk about doing it for college football, but 92 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.520 the issue here is that not every conference has a 93 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.439 media right to deal with ESPN, and we found out yesterday. 94 00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:09.879 I guess the likelihood of that eventually happening, and we'll 95 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.599 get to that next and I would love it, but 96 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.639 for reasons i'll explain coming up here shortly, it doesn't 97 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.920 make any sense for the other leagues that don't work 98 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:24.160 with ESPN to do that, especially the other networks that 99 00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.319 paid a lot of money to monetize the rights of 100 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.480 having exclusive games for the Big Ten and some other leagues. 101 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:32.319 So we can get into that a little bit later on. 102 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:36.160 And we're loaded here on a Friday morning. Mayor Greenberg 103 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.319 set to join us coming up at eight o'clock. Looking 104 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.439 forward to that. Certainly a lot to discuss after a 105 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:42.920 big week here in Louisville, with some great news as 106 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.560 far as just the corporations that are extending their stay 107 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:48.600 here in Louisville. I say stay, I mean textas throathouse. 108 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:50.480 They've been here forever and they're not going anywhere, and 109 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.879 that's good news, but also some not great news when 110 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:54.759 it comes to just the week that we've had with violence. 111 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:56.560 So Mayor Greenberg set to join us, coming up at 112 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:58.800 eight o'clock and we'll keep it rolling along. Here your 113 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.240 next update of Travick Weather right here, right now on 114 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.600 news Radio eight forty Whas. All I would I really 115 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.000 had to do is just look at the calendar and 116 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.439 I would have known this. But thank you John forgiving 117 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.199 me news that I didn't realize and that we are 118 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.680 just this is the last weekend without some. 119 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:16.879 Legitimate football exciting. 120 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.040 Yeah, Week zero is not is not what you're going 121 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.040 to get for the next set, you know, the many 122 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.160 saturdays to come. But it's it's a taste, it's an 123 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:24.399 appetizer and I'll take it. 124 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.399 I remember last year you had Florida State playing in 125 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.639 Ireland and they ended up being god awful. 126 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.439 They had a lot of high expectations. They end up 127 00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:32.800 winning two games that season. 128 00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.680 Oh yeah, and I think Week zero is a real 129 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:41.879 is a real good opportunity to make a statement potentially. 130 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.160 Now a lot of it depends on who you play, 131 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.560 but when you are one of just a few games, 132 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.120 maybe one game, you're the only game as far as 133 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:54.120 notable power for type opponents, when you get that level 134 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.120 of exposure and you look really good. I mean, it 135 00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:57.920 didn't mean everybody's going to think that you're great, but 136 00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.920 I just think there's so much value and the standalone opportunities, 137 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.319 which that's why I think it really depends upon who 138 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.160 you play and where you are as a team, but 139 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.399 playing on Thursday night and Friday night can help you. 140 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:09.639 I mean people make fun of it, like. 141 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.199 That's when high school teams play, but you command so 142 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.519 much more attention because you're not competing with other games 143 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.079 that are going on. And let's be real, college football 144 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.839 is a sport where the perception matters way more than 145 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:22.920 it should. It's not based as much off results like 146 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.279 it should be. It's a popularity contest to an extent, 147 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:27.279 which I don't know how you fix that because you 148 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:29.959 only play twelve games. It's impossible now with these conferences 149 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.120 being as big as they are, to actually put a 150 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.639 schedule together for every team that is that is comparable. 151 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:35.240 You just don't know. 152 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:37.600 I mean Idiana is the best example of that. They 153 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.600 had no clue that despite having the two teams that 154 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.680 played in a national championship game the year prior on 155 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:45.439 their schedule the next year that their schedule was going 156 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.879 to end up being as weak as it was comparatively speaking, 157 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.199 Did I just go back to being a sports host if. 158 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.800 I think like it's blacked out? No, it's fun. It's 159 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.439 fun Week zero and then yeah. 160 00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.639 But one reason I wanted to bring this up is 161 00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.040 just to extend the conversation from the last segment as 162 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.279 far as a potential college football red zone channel, just 163 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.160 like we get on NFL Sundays, and I mean, it 164 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.879 would be great. I'd love it, but I never expected it. 165 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:11.600 And it sounds like we now know that it's not 166 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:14.560 going to happen, and it's for good reason. I mean, 167 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.759 you got to keep in mind the reason that college 168 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.240 sports is really now not college sports. It's much more 169 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.560 pro sports because everybody's making big time money, including a 170 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.240 lot of players. Not every player, but the TV rights 171 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:29.879 I mean, right, the media deals, the Big ten, the 172 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.839 SEC specifically, and let's be real, the ACC in the 173 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.079 Big twelve. They're making a lot of money too. So 174 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.560 these networks they pay a lot of money to have 175 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.519 exclusive broadcast rights and they have to monetize that in 176 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.720 order to make a lot of money after what they 177 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.240 initially invested to have the rights to monetize it, so 178 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:54.360 you'd be foolish to let somebody else use it. So 179 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.560 the scenario where the Big Ten and who else is 180 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.959 this is the Big twelve. I think the relationship with 181 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:02.920 the Big twelve is weird. I think they're just kind 182 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.240 of with everybody. Yeah, they're dipping around, which is not 183 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.480 a bad way to go. I actually think there's I 184 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.199 actually find that to be I actually find that to 185 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:14.560 be Potentially, you know, you got to take the best 186 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.480 money that that is the best thing financially for everybody 187 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.160 in your league. But there could be a benefit in 188 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.920 being in different markets, within different networks and kind of 189 00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.000 splitting it up because it does, you know, it does 190 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:26.800 give you a little bit of leverage, I think. But yes, 191 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:31.279 the I mean ESPN having the NFL's red Zone brand 192 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.279 name got college football fans excited because they did tease it. 193 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.279 But there are I mean Fox's Big Ten package is 194 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.240 shared with CBS and NBC and again these this is 195 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.159 relatively new, Like this is relatively new arrangement where the 196 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.159 Big Ten is not in any way. I mean their 197 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.639 new media rights deal when they brought in the West 198 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.440 Coast schools. I mean, again that's this is just the 199 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:55.200 second year of those schools being there. So the scenario 200 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.320 where they were going to license over the rights to 201 00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:01.399 broadcast it, that would make it way less monetizable, and 202 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.559 it just would make no financial business sense at all. So, 203 00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.799 and I don't know if I would enjoy college football red. 204 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:09.759 Zone as much as the NFL. 205 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:11.559 I could maybe, you know, maybe I'm wrong, and I 206 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.240 would love it, But you know, when I'm watching college football, 207 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.159 I'm more so focused on individual games, not as much 208 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.120 perusing but one o'clock slate in the NFL. But from 209 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:24.840 a gambler's perspective, it could certainly be a lot of 210 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.000 fun to keep up with what you got wagered out there. 211 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.720 All right, we've got trafficking weather updates on the way. Also, 212 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:31.720 we got another sports update coming your way right here 213 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.279 at Kentucky and his morning news news Radio forty whas. 214 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:38.000 Thank you very much, mister Lincoln.

Can you feel it? Can you smell it? 218 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:46.639 It's Friday. 219 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:48.679 We made it to the weekend, and we're going to 220 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.440 get your set for the weekend here on News Radio 221 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.240 eight forty whas I want to do a follow up 222 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.679 on a story that we talked about. I believe it 223 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:59.279 was last month that I just thought was was awesome. 224 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.720 It is a non to one to one dispatcher who 225 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.679 decided to leave what was I believe, a pretty successful 226 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:11.600 career elsewhere and just wanted to help service community and 227 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.080 being a non to one one operator was I mean, 228 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:17.399 by the way, that is absolutely serving your community. It's 229 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.320 it's certainly an important job and there's way more that 230 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:21.879 goes into it, I'm sure than any of us know. 231 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.559 But Anthony Gore, Yeah, this was in May when it happened, 232 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.840 but I believe we talked about it in June. He 233 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:30.440 answered what WKY and their story that Addie Minors did 234 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.720 the most exciting phone call of his career because on 235 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.679 the other line was an expecting father, Ronnie Elsey, whose 236 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:42.279 wife was in labor and throughout he helped. Throughout this 237 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:46.639 phone call, Anthony Gore, the non one one operator, he 238 00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:51.440 walked them through the birth of their child. And WOKY 239 00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:54.919 did a story on this, just updating the situation. As 240 00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.960 the dispatcher, mister Gore, he now has met the couple 241 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.840 whose baby he helped the liver over the phone, and 242 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.320 we'll let you hear this, but I'll tell you what 243 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.360 is is a father of two. And maybe I know 244 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:11.399 I'm not alone here, but I'm sure everybody's different. There's 245 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.120 just things during that experience, tension to detail, little things 246 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:16.840 that just stick with you forever because of what that 247 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.080 experience is when you when you have a child. So 248 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:21.759 this guy, like it or not, he's going to be 249 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.200 a part of their memory of bringing this baby into 250 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.519 the world forever. And really it's a it's a it's 251 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:28.440 a beautiful thing. I would want to meet this individual 252 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:29.840 as well if I was these parents. But this is 253 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.720 the nine one one call that took place in May 254 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:36.279 when this situation happened out. 255 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.720 Oh, oh about God, We'll go push you out a 256 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:41.879 push push, push, push, push, push push water first. 257 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:42.919 Ended like this. 258 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:43.879 Oh. 259 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.360 On Thursday, nearly four months after nine to one one 260 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:51.559 call taker Anthony Gore helped Ronnie Elsy and his wife 261 00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.679 Heather deliver their baby. The two finally got to say 262 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:55.919 thank you in person. 263 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:59.080 If it hadn't been for him helping me focus with 264 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.799 my breathing and to stay calm and to remember how 265 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:06.559 to push whenever the pressure was happening. I honestly don't 266 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:07.600 know how it would have ended up. 267 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.799 And earthing was moved. 268 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.480 You talk to me. You did a good, great job. 269 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.039 The three first met over the phone back in May 270 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.720 when Heather unexpectedly went into labor at their home. So 271 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.679 Ronnie called nine to one one and Anthony picked up. 272 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:22.639 He said, we're looking to see what the baby's coming 273 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:22.919 at us. 274 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:24.320 But I tell him I did that the baby was 275 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:25.879 halfway and he was sticking. 276 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:26.919 That, Hey, the baby's out. 277 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.000 When the baby starts crying, it's usually a good sign. 278 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.559 And I heard, uh, the little baby start crying, and 279 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:35.200 I said, okay, it's a downhill from here in a 280 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:35.639 good way. 281 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:40.879 Skinned the skin, contact the baby on your kids, and 282 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.919 then cover the baby with a dry towel on blanket. 283 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.159 It wasn't chaotic, but it was just surprising because it 284 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:48.080 happened all at once. 285 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.080 Heather and Ronnie now have a healthy baby boy named 286 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.120 Ronnie Elsie the Third, and they say it's thanks to 287 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:55.480 the help of Anthony Gore. 288 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.879 The little baby is adorable. 289 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:02.080 It's an adorable little child, a complete joy. He's always happy. 290 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.799 And we came out healthy and that's all that we 291 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:05.519 could ask for. 292 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:06.840 That was awesome. 293 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.440 And I know, again everybody's situation is different, but I 294 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:17.679 remember vivid details just about the nurse and what would 295 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:19.720 let me and this this, And I don't have a 296 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:20.919 great memory compared to most. 297 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:21.840 I don't think I don't. I don't know. 298 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:23.240 Maybe I do, but like I remember going to the 299 00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:26.279 vending machine and seeing there were only three options for 300 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.360 me to pick as we were, as I was pacing 301 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.799 my wife, she she had gotten a repidural and at 302 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:33.720 that point it's just kind of the waiting game. And 303 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.919 and I don't remember what I had for dinner last 304 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:39.080 night sometimes, and yet I remember those things because it's 305 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.000 just it's it's it's an experience that is a special 306 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.440 one in every way. And this is this one's a 307 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.320 little more memorable, I would say than others, because it's 308 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.759 not often that this happens. But hey, that's it's one 309 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.480 of the many reasons why None one one operators are 310 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.759 very very important. And uh, yeah, John, you are a 311 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.480 new father, and I'm sure you know that day for 312 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:02.399 you is one that you know obviously you're gonna remember 313 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:06.480 it forever. But I think the mother and father clearly 314 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:08.559 a much different situation whenever a baby's being born, right 315 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:10.399 the mother carries it and another one going through birth, and 316 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:12.919 you know you want to do everything you can to 317 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:14.720 kind of help throughout that process. But you know, it's 318 00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:18.200 also you're not bringing the child physically into the world, 319 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.200 but you are becoming a dad, or maybe for the 320 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.519 first time, or maybe you're adding a kid to the family, 321 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:24.519 and it's just, I don't know, there's so much emotion 322 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:26.000 that goes with it. I can't really I don't think 323 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:27.960 you could really describe it until you've been there. 324 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:30.480 Yeah, and especially the way that it worked out for us. 325 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:32.320 I won't get into the details with the birth or anything, 326 00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:34.559 but we were just going for one of our routine 327 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:37.039 appointments and we were about a month away from our 328 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.720 due date for the baby, and we just kind of 329 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.960 found out like, hey, this is uh, we're gonna go 330 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:44.200 ahead and push her out now, just because of some 331 00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:46.919 things that were going on internally. And you know, thankfully, 332 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:49.559 she's been very healthy since then, and she wasn't the 333 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.240 nick you for about eleven days whenever she was first born. 334 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.919 But we're both very thankful and blessed that those at 335 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:57.679 Norton women's and children's were very They were about as 336 00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:59.799 accommodating and great as they could have been during the 337 00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:03.919 whole process and provided a very memorable experience and a 338 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:05.720 good overall experience for both me and my wife. 339 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.279 Well, and you know, that's that's their job. They sign 340 00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:09.960 up to do that. They go to work every day. 341 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:14.120 But to do that and still, you know, don't just 342 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:16.279 see it as you punching the clock and working you 343 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:19.519 are you are, because man, that's all I need is 344 00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:21.000 is just somebody to kind of, you know, give me 345 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:24.080 some reassurance that, like, you know, because they'll tell you stuff. 346 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.320 I just remember that they would talk about the process 347 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:27.639 and I didn't know what a lot of it meant, 348 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:29.879 thought I did, and I would ask questions and you know, 349 00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:32.240 I could be a panic dad and they know that 350 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:34.039 they get that every day, but also doing a job, 351 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:35.679 doing their job to kind of make me feel more 352 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:38.320 at ease about certain things. So yeah, it's a I mean, 353 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:41.360 it's it's a it's an important job in a variety 354 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:43.480 of ways to to be there in the hospital during 355 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.559 that process for a variety of reasons. And uh, that's 356 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:49.000 why I mean again, I'll remember these two, these two 357 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:51.240 nurses that helped us bring both our kids into the world. 358 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:53.360 I'm sure they don't remember me, but I remember them. 359 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.000 But but Anthony Gore, this is this guy is I mean, 360 00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:59.600 what a story. He's previously a prosecutor, but he left 361 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.720 the court to service city in this way. So his 362 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:05.159 late father was a police officer in courtroom bailiff and 363 00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:08.840 that inspired him early to get into the career of 364 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:11.799 being a prosecutor. But you know, he decided to once 365 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:13.720 he once he shifted careers, he still wanted to help 366 00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.840 out the community. And that's probably one of the many 367 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:19.320 non one one calls that he's received and will receive 368 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:20.120 that I'll never forget. 369 00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:21.279 So good stuff there. 370 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:22.960 All right, We've got an update of trafficking weather coming 371 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:24.519 your way right here right now on news Radio eight 372 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:28.840 forty whas it is Friday morning here at Kentucky and 373 00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:30.879 his morning news coffee and company with you here on 374 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:33.440 News Radio eight forty w h as had a busy 375 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:36.360 morning thus far, and that will that will continue. We've 376 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.679 got a couple of guests set to join us at 377 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:40.720 seven o'clock. Will be joined by l and PD spokesman 378 00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:43.000 Dwight Mitchell here in studio and then also Mayor Greenberg 379 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:46.320 set to stop by at at eight o'clock, and again 380 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:49.519 looking forward to those to those conversations. But one of 381 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:53.240 the things that we were discussing a little bit earlier 382 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:57.879 is the the JMI deal that UK signed. And I 383 00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:59.600 don't want to get too deep into the weeds on it, 384 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:01.679 but I want to look at this more so from 385 00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:05.680 just a sports fan perspective than just a sports story, 386 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:07.960 meaning things on the court, on the field, and whatnot. 387 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.359 So this is more rare than I realized, meaning there 388 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:16.319 is not another high level college athletics program as of 389 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:20.559 right now that is essentially signed away what Kentucky has 390 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:23.799 signed away. And the reason is just because of the 391 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:26.359 amount of money that JAMI was willing to throw out 392 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.079 there to have the ability to kind of own everything. 393 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.119 They're not just owning the media rights broadcast rights, they 394 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:36.839 own the licensing for the brand, and they have done 395 00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:39.240 that for a while. But what's different here is that 396 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:49.079 JMI is now in charge of all NIL, all players arrangements, contracts. 397 00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:51.160 They don't seem like contracts because the players can do 398 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:53.240 whatever they want when they get paid, but nonetheless there's 399 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.279 something in writing as far as these NIL deals, and 400 00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:59.680 if you're Kentucky Mitch Barnhardt, I mean, was so much 401 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.680
