Speaker 1: All right, Happy hump Day. This is Kentucky in this
Speaker 1: morning news here on news Radio eight forty Whas Coffee
Speaker 1: and Company, Nick Coffee.
Speaker 2: That's me.
Speaker 1: I hope you knew that. If not, if not, now
Speaker 1: you do so. Shane Timura Tamura is the shooter who
Speaker 1: was targeting the NFL headquarters.
Speaker 2: We now know that.
Speaker 1: And I just when you consider the final moments, final minutes,
Speaker 1: seconds of that entire situation before it ended with him
Speaker 1: killing himself and then the realization that multiple people lost
Speaker 1: their life, including a law enforcement officer. He got on
Speaker 1: the wrong elevator, which is being reported, and I just
Speaker 1: you never know what would have happened had he got
Speaker 1: on the right elevator and ended up. I guess where
Speaker 1: he wanted to be, which was in the NFL office
Speaker 1: space that was there in that building in Manhattan. But
Speaker 1: I can't imagine any I can't imagine one being there.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm going to work whatever it may be. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just a it's something you hope to never experience yourself.
Speaker 1: But one thing that I've found to be interesting to me,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I really can't explain why it
Speaker 1: interests me the way that it does, but hearing of
Speaker 1: people who knew someone like this that committed such a
Speaker 1: heinous act, because you would then think like, should I
Speaker 1: have seen some signs?
Speaker 2: Like what is this real?
Speaker 1: But yeah, just a tragic situation. And unfortunately it's not
Speaker 1: that uncommon that these things occur. And that's just if
Speaker 1: I had the solution on how to fix it, I
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't be sitting here yap in my mouth in
Speaker 1: front of a microphone. But I hope that one day
Speaker 1: it becomes way more surprising and way more of a
Speaker 1: rarity to see these mass shootings take place.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So one thing that we have talked about quite a
Speaker 1: bit this morning, if you are just now joining us,
Speaker 1: is the David Cam interview that Terry Miners had yesterday.
Speaker 2: I encourage you to check it out.
Speaker 1: Twenty five years ago, David Cam came home after playing
Speaker 1: in a men's basketball league and found his two young
Speaker 1: children and his wife murdered in his garage, and then
Speaker 1: he of course ended up being convicted twice of that
Speaker 1: twice for that, went to prison for thirteen years and
Speaker 1: has now of course been exonerated and has now been
Speaker 1: free for quite some time. But the interview with Terry
Speaker 1: was just really well done and it's just a reminder
Speaker 1: of sort of what that case was. And what I've
Speaker 1: been mentioning throughout the morning is that had that taken
Speaker 1: place in a more modern era, with true crime being
Speaker 1: such a dominant genre like it is, I mean, I
Speaker 1: think we'd have been talking about a making a murderer
Speaker 1: type of situation if you remember that that documentary that
Speaker 1: came out roughly ten years ago on Netflix with Steven Avery,
Speaker 1: and I just remember that being the ultimate Because when
Speaker 1: it comes to true crime, there's a lot of different
Speaker 1: types of content stories, if you will, and I think
Speaker 1: ones that really hook you more than anything is the
Speaker 1: constant man, I don't know, did he do it?
Speaker 2: Did she do it? And this one, I don't know
Speaker 2: how you.
Speaker 1: Can look at what has been put out there throughout
Speaker 1: the multiple trials they had. I mean, this guy was innocent,
Speaker 1: and it it really is insane to see the way
Speaker 1: in which this investigation was flawed. To say the least,
Speaker 1: this guy had multiple eleven alibi witnesses and was still
Speaker 1: twice convicted based on what was clearly manufactured evidence. And
Speaker 1: I don't know how law enforcement is not more accountable
Speaker 1: when wrongful convictions happen. I mean to me, that's especially
Speaker 1: when you have prosecutors knowingly using not legitimate evidence. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just I can't imagine what I've been saying here
Speaker 1: and there throughout the morning, and it usually comes to
Speaker 1: me whenever I'm spinning my wheels not really knowing what
Speaker 1: to say because I just can't imagine. It's almost you
Speaker 1: can't make this stuff up. But I was David cam
Speaker 1: I would probably live every day for the rest of
Speaker 1: my life from that moment twenty five years ago in
Speaker 1: every way, not just the multiple convictions or the moment
Speaker 1: in what was it twenty year was it whenever he
Speaker 1: was essentially let out of prison. I think it might
Speaker 1: have been twenty thirteen, but every day for the rest
Speaker 1: of my life dating back to two thousand, when that
Speaker 1: happened in September, on September twenty eighth, I would just think,
Speaker 1: here and there throughout every day, my mind would be, well,
Speaker 1: there's no way this is real. There's no way this
Speaker 1: is my reality and this really happened. But of course
Speaker 1: it did. And really, I mean, when you've got three
Speaker 1: different theories because you have three different trials, because you
Speaker 1: clearly are striking out. I mean, I just to me,
Speaker 1: that's very telling of the prosecution, and I think prosecutors
Speaker 1: should be criminally responsible if they knowingly are using false evidence.
Speaker 1: So again, really a really good interview. If you didn't
Speaker 1: get a chance to hear it, Terry did a great
Speaker 1: job because he's Terry Minors is what he does. But yeah,
Speaker 1: check it out WHS dot com. You'll find the podcast
Speaker 1: link there. All right, Hooters, we lost another one here
Speaker 1: in Kentucky, Anda Jeffersonville. It's a sad thing to see.
Speaker 1: That was one of those moments, John where I just
Speaker 1: imagine somebody turning on the radio at that exact moment
Speaker 1: and they hear me say, Hooters.
Speaker 2: Hey, that was my old stomping grounds, Jeffersonville. Jeffersonville Hooters.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was one of the better Hooters locations
Speaker 1: I feel like. And it's now closed, and we'll talk
Speaker 1: about sort of. I guess the speculation as to why
Speaker 1: Hooters has falling apart because they are. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: now only I think two left in the area. So
Speaker 1: we'll get to that in a lot more. First, let's
Speaker 1: get an update on the traffic situation. Bobby Ellis. We'll
Speaker 1: get us caught up on how the roadways are looking.
Speaker 1: Matt Melosovitch will tell us just how disgustingly hot it's
Speaker 1: going to be today, right here, right now on news
Speaker 1: Radio eight forty whas we were rocking and rolling here
Speaker 1: on a Thursday. I'm sorry, it's not Thursday, it's Wednesday.
Speaker 1: I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm on vacation next week.
Speaker 1: That's why apologize for that. So if you just had
Speaker 1: a brief millisecond of thinking you were closer to Friday
Speaker 1: than you actually are, that's on me.
Speaker 2: Hand up my bad.
Speaker 1: All right, it is Kentuckyanah's morning news here our news
Speaker 1: Radio eight forty whas. We've got some sad news to share.
Speaker 1: If you haven't already seen this news, but Hooters in
Speaker 1: Jeffersonville becomes the latest Hooters location in Kentucky anda to
Speaker 1: close their door. And I believe there's now only a
Speaker 1: couple that are left. So in the last I guess
Speaker 1: in the last last year or so, we lost the
Speaker 1: one on Dixie Highway, there was one on one in
Speaker 1: Clarksville that shut down. So right now, with Jeffersonville closing,
Speaker 1: the only two in the Kentuckian area are Dutchman's Lane
Speaker 1: and then on Preston Highway, so that I don't really,
Speaker 1: I don't know why they went from being a really popular,
Speaker 1: seemingly a highly trafficked business wherever they were to now
Speaker 1: if you go into any I mean, I can't remember
Speaker 1: the last time I was out of Hooters, and it
Speaker 1: felt like it was not only not it didn't feel
Speaker 1: like the place to be. It just it fell flat.
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't. You know, I'm sure there's
Speaker 1: a variety of factors that go into this, but I
Speaker 1: always felt like the food was good and everybody has
Speaker 1: their own preference, and you know, I'm sure you could
Speaker 1: find experiences that weren't great, But like I just there
Speaker 1: was a time when you consider everything that you know
Speaker 1: comes with the Hooters experience, I would think to myself, like,
Speaker 1: there's no.
Speaker 2: Way this is ever going out of business. Look at
Speaker 2: what we got here.
Speaker 1: We got beer, we got great food, and by the way,
Speaker 1: they had a great menu as far as just the things.
Speaker 2: And I say this like they're all gone. They're not.
Speaker 1: They're still I'm here around. But imagine telling somebody in
Speaker 1: like the mid two thousands that we'd end up in
Speaker 1: this situation where all these Hooters closed there they had
Speaker 1: to file bankruptcy, which that took place this past March.
Speaker 1: So about thirty corporate owned locations have closed, and now
Speaker 1: they're going to try to get some of those corporate
Speaker 1: locations to be taken over by those who have successfully
Speaker 1: become I guess, franchisees of Hooters.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I feel like the mid two thousands, the
Speaker 2: way you were talking, I think that was like there
Speaker 2: was less wing chains back. No, you're right now, from one.
Speaker 1: That's and that's that's certainly the case around here, Like
Speaker 1: there are clearly some competitors that that really from a
Speaker 1: food aspect, they do they do compete with Hooters when
Speaker 1: it comes to wings. You're right, But you know, I
Speaker 1: just assumed, maybe that was me thinking that that, you know,
Speaker 1: we guys were too pervy because I just assumed that
Speaker 1: people would always choose the the the Hooters over others
Speaker 1: because of the other aspect that comes with it. But anyways,
Speaker 1: just two more left. But you're right, John, now that
Speaker 1: I think about it. You know, I remember roosters becoming
Speaker 1: a thing around here in Kentucky, and certainly they're very popular,
Speaker 1: but there's others out there now too, So yeah, sad stuff.
Speaker 1: I Again, I'm sure people, you know, they got their
Speaker 1: own taste and preference when it comes to eating chicken
Speaker 1: and eating out at restaurants. But I've often heard people
Speaker 1: just dog the food, and I mean I've had experiences
Speaker 1: where it wasn't great, but I've always liked their food.
Speaker 1: I mean they got they got good appetizers too. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to visit one soon because you never
Speaker 1: know when the others are gonna be gone. All right,
Speaker 1: we got another update of Trackick and Weather coming your
Speaker 1: way right here, right now on news RADIOA forty WHS
Speaker 1: final segment, Final segment here for us. It's Kentucky and
Speaker 1: his morning news news Radio eight forty whas Coffee and
Speaker 1: Company with you, Nick Coffee, that's me, Tony, even Eddie
Speaker 1: Dwight Whitten are coming your way here in just a
Speaker 1: few But Tony is with us here in studio, finishing
Speaker 1: up the show with me like.
Speaker 2: He typically does.
Speaker 1: Yes, do you know of these the latest challenge that
Speaker 1: kids are doing to I guess be cool?
Speaker 3: Well, the internet challenges? No, what's the dumb thing that's doing?
Speaker 1: One is This one is up there as far as
Speaker 1: maybe being one of the dumbest and also one that
Speaker 1: might literally cost you your life. And it's LMPD is
Speaker 1: warning folks of a door kick challenge where kids, for
Speaker 1: I guess reasons, I don't know how this is actually
Speaker 1: a prank, but this involves teens violently kicking indoors late
Speaker 1: at night, filming it and running off and then posting
Speaker 1: the video of them doing it online. What they get
Speaker 1: out of this, I don't know. I also don't know
Speaker 1: what they got out of the tide Pod challenge or
Speaker 1: other challenges that they've done, but this is one that
Speaker 1: is beyond stupid and you could easily get killed.
Speaker 3: This is the difference in the generations because this generation
Speaker 3: has no consequences, so they don't even think about what
Speaker 3: that consequence would be. Go back in just a couple
Speaker 3: of years and tell a kid you're going to Kickadorian.
Speaker 3: That's a felony and you're gonna get shot. They wouldn't
Speaker 3: even have thought of that for a second. It was
Speaker 3: all ring the doorbell and run. That was what you did,
Speaker 3: Ring the doorbell and run. Kids. Why can't you ring
Speaker 3: the doorbell and run? You're kicking a door in. And
Speaker 3: by the way, back in the day, not everybody packed
Speaker 3: is I think everyone in the city of Louisville has
Speaker 3: a gun. So good luck kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the layers here as far as stupidity is baffling
Speaker 1: because take away just the fact of how dangerous it is.
Speaker 2: What do you get out, like, what do you get
Speaker 2: out of it?
Speaker 3: Well, no, you can't ask that because kids are just kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I guess I guess you're right.
Speaker 3: The frontel lobe you see, is not as developed. I've
Speaker 3: heard that especially in the male species, the male.
Speaker 1: So what this does, Tony, is it reminds us I
Speaker 1: guess how important that frontal lobe is.
Speaker 3: At that frontal lobe. And I don't know about the
Speaker 3: rear lobe or side lobe or but the frontal lobe
Speaker 3: for men it's important to develop.
Speaker 1: You know. But the benadrill challenge, well, they take large
Speaker 1: doses of benadriyll to hallucinate, and of course the dangers
Speaker 1: and that as you could have seizure, you could have
Speaker 1: you could have heart issues. Also, this one is cutting
Speaker 1: off oxygen to the brain to feel high. It was
Speaker 1: called the choking game. Yeah, cinnamon challenge swallowing a spoonful
Speaker 1: of ground cinnamon without water. That's just I mean, that
Speaker 1: can be dangerous. Yeah, it's dangerous and it's possible. Do
Speaker 1: you remember whenever? And I thought this was really well
Speaker 1: done by Todd because the tide Pod challenge where kids
Speaker 1: were trying to eat laundry detergent pods. We're talking poisoned
Speaker 1: chemical burns, many kids hospitalized trying to do it, and
Speaker 1: Tide hired Grunk to be this the official guy like, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm even telling you this is stupid.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, my son told me once. He goes, Dad,
Speaker 3: this is not He goes, you know, the Internet blows
Speaker 3: it out of proportion. He goes, nobody's doing that. Nobody's
Speaker 3: doing that. Yes, it looks like a lot of people
Speaker 3: on the internet, three.
Speaker 1: Across the world for to become news correct and one
Speaker 1: that I don't remember it being as big of a
Speaker 1: story nationally, probably because it wasn't done as much as
Speaker 1: some of these others.
Speaker 3: Well, there were some stupid people our generation because we
Speaker 3: our generation used to huff free on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but is that a prank or is that just that.
Speaker 3: That means if you huff it too many times, you
Speaker 3: can die.
Speaker 1: But but don't you get do you get like high
Speaker 1: or something that don get well, that explains well, you
Speaker 1: know that's anyone but the one that that I just
Speaker 1: still and I was I was a father at the time,
Speaker 1: but I my daughter was probably a baby baby when
Speaker 1: this became a story, and I just remember thinking like,
Speaker 1: this is the most that that's just the most, the
Speaker 1: cruelest thing you can do to your parents. But it's
Speaker 1: the forty eight hour challenge, or you go missing and
Speaker 1: the goal is to be missing long enough to where
Speaker 1: you make the local news as a missing kid. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine putting your parents through that?
Speaker 3: Forget?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like I don't I would never unforgivable, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean and and I don't know how many times
Speaker 1: it happened. But as an older dad, now somebody who's
Speaker 1: you know, got my daughter's older and of course my
Speaker 1: son's growing up a little bit and bored when this
Speaker 1: became a thing, I'm just like, I can't imagine what
Speaker 1: those forty eight hours would be like. And it's unforget.
Speaker 1: I don't think you ever could not think about that
Speaker 1: as a parent.
Speaker 3: I've lost I lost my kid for four minutes in Florida,
Speaker 3: and it's still seared into my brain. I told John
Speaker 3: to watch her. I'm just going to go two flights
Speaker 3: up to the balcony and get a soda. That's what
Speaker 3: I'm doing. I'm going to get the soda. Left John
Speaker 3: and Maggie. Sixty seconds came back. Maggie's not in there.
Speaker 3: John's under the water doing the snorkeling. Whatever comes back up, like,
Speaker 3: where're your sister?
Speaker 2: What do you mean what?
Speaker 3: Because he's still a kid. Oh yeah, I'm screaming and yelling,
Speaker 3: and other parents can hear the tone of voice of
Speaker 3: a parent that this is real.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's a different tone you pick.
Speaker 1: Up on the panic because I'm sure a lot of
Speaker 1: parents have had that exact moment where if it's thirty seconds,
Speaker 1: it feels like thirty minutes.
Speaker 2: Yes, you have a trouble breathing.
Speaker 1: Briefly, would your kids ever have any fear of getting
Speaker 1: lost that you were? Because my son, he is I
Speaker 1: don't know. He claims it was a dream, but he
Speaker 1: won't let us leave the room right now. He is
Speaker 1: so and he doesn't really have anything. I mean, like
Speaker 1: I try to ask him, like, buddy, you can't you
Speaker 1: can't run around the house crying upset because we went
Speaker 1: to the bathroom and I don't know what.
Speaker 3: What did you do?
Speaker 1: Much?
Speaker 2: What did you do?
Speaker 3: I'm blaming you?
Speaker 2: What did you do?
Speaker 1: Because you know his mom, he's more attached to her.
Speaker 1: And I finally I took him to lunch last weekend
Speaker 1: and I was like, you have nothing to be scared of.
Speaker 1: You didn't used to be like this. What has led
Speaker 1: to it? He's a four yeah, he's five now, but
Speaker 1: he's five, so he needs to grow the hell up, Tony,
Speaker 1: get over this.
Speaker 3: You know he's young. But I will tell you the
Speaker 3: couple of the moments of the kid's life. We talked
Speaker 3: about it yesterday or last week when we were talking
Speaker 3: about putting the child car seats in the car properly.
Speaker 3: It's like when they get to sit in the front
Speaker 3: seat for the first time, it's like a huge deal.
Speaker 3: And or run around the Catholic picnic by themselves, like
Speaker 3: without being attached to them. They're like what. I'm like, yep,
Speaker 3: have fun.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: I looked at him and said, hey, if somebody snatches you,
Speaker 3: make sure to take their eyeball. So I knew who
Speaker 3: to kill.
Speaker 1: And I need to realize when it comes to older
Speaker 1: kids that you do know and trust, that are old
Speaker 1: enough to at least keep an eye on your little one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I need.
Speaker 1: To be more appreciative of those kids because I had
Speaker 1: a couple of my nephew who's old enough, because yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't have that fear because you trust
Speaker 1: those kids. Yes, and that's a big but he was
Speaker 1: probably scared. Is he on social media or anything or
Speaker 1: watches this stuff? My nephew know, your son, he's probably
Speaker 1: watching stuff on YouTube.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's why he's getting that from, like what
Speaker 3: if I get lost?
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, we weren't exposed to that stuff back then.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 1: All right, Tony Dwight coming your way next right here
Speaker 1: on news radio. Wait forty e whs
