Speaker 1: Thank you, John.
Speaker 2: It is eight oh five here at Kentucky this Morning
Speaker 2: News on News Radio eight forty whas Nick coffee with you.
Speaker 2: Thank you guys for hanging out with us. Gonna be
Speaker 2: a hot one today, it certainly was yesterday as well,
Speaker 2: and then we've got seemingly a bunch of rain coming
Speaker 2: our way over these next next five days. Is currently
Speaker 2: what it looks like. So if you're somebody that does
Speaker 2: enjoy the warm weather, enjoy it, because today could be
Speaker 2: one of the hottest days we've had so far this year,
Speaker 2: maybe the hottest. So you're a pool guy, Nick, I
Speaker 2: like being around a pool, not as much in a pool,
Speaker 2: if that makes sense. But sometimes it's just so mean,
Speaker 2: like you just yeah, it's when we get the awful
Speaker 2: and I mean brutal humidity that we get around here,
Speaker 2: when you walk outside and it's just gross, disgusting, like
Speaker 2: you're a you're in a microwave. Then at that point,
Speaker 2: you know, I need if I'm going to be outside
Speaker 2: for a while, I need to make sure I'm near
Speaker 2: a pool so I can cool off every now and then.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we'll have some rain coming up the rest
Speaker 2: of this week. It looks like and Uh, been a
Speaker 2: busy morning so far. Obviously a lot of continued conversation
Speaker 2: regards to what happened on Bartstown Road on the Highlands
Speaker 2: last week.
Speaker 1: I should say this past.
Speaker 2: Week and even the week prior. I think Mary Greenberger
Speaker 2: as well as Chief Humphrey their comments yesterday, if you
Speaker 2: were somebody that lives in the area, or you are
Speaker 2: somebody that has a business in the area, maybe you
Speaker 2: work at one of these businesses in the area, I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm sure you want action, you want to wait and
Speaker 2: see if in fact things are going to get better.
Speaker 2: But I do think yesterday it seemed as if they're
Speaker 2: well aware that this has become a growing problem, and
Speaker 2: what took place these these last couple of weekends is
Speaker 2: just it can't happen. And that's why you heard Mary
Speaker 2: Greenberg talk about really no solution is off the table.
Speaker 2: Something else we discussed earlier that I will admit this
Speaker 2: is this is this was not on my radar. But
Speaker 2: if you are going to be getting a new phone number,
Speaker 2: maybe in the coming years, your phone number in the
Speaker 2: Louisville area may not may not be a five oh
Speaker 2: two area code because Louisville and the surrounding areas. When
Speaker 2: it comes to five oh two, we're expected to run
Speaker 2: out of phone numbers.
Speaker 3: Possible.
Speaker 2: That could start with five oh two, and that's it
Speaker 2: looks like by the end of twenty twenty seven, due
Speaker 2: to the population growth and increased device usage, they're going
Speaker 2: to run out and device. When you hear device usage,
Speaker 2: I mean that could be any device, any phone. But
Speaker 2: now you you can just go online and sign up
Speaker 2: with Google, and I'm sure there's other providers out there,
Speaker 2: or you can use Google Voice or against something similar
Speaker 2: and get a phone number. I mean, it's not with
Speaker 2: a carrier that has service like an AC and C
Speaker 2: of a Rise or anything like that. But if you
Speaker 2: have if you have internet connection, I yes, you can.
Speaker 2: You can use it like it's like it's a phone.
Speaker 2: And I could be wrong. I don't know. I'm I'm
Speaker 2: certainly not a math expert. But to run out of
Speaker 2: phone numbers, I mean that seems like a lot of
Speaker 2: different combinations out there. So I imagine the digital side
Speaker 2: of it has been a bigger factor here. But what
Speaker 2: they're doing is they're letting folks know that this change
Speaker 2: is coming. They had a meeting yesterday in Nelson, County
Speaker 2: because obviously that's an area in Barchetown where you still
Speaker 2: you still pick up the five H two area code.
Speaker 2: And they're going to have another meeting at the JCC
Speaker 2: Southwest campus on it looks like Thursday at six pm
Speaker 2: to again to residents and collect input on the new
Speaker 2: area code im implementation, which I think if you are
Speaker 2: worried about it and you're going to feel like an
Speaker 2: outsider and you want the five ZHO two area code
Speaker 2: because it's just the way it's always been, I would
Speaker 2: imagine by the time we get there, if in fact
Speaker 2: you don't have that area code, you'll realize it's not
Speaker 2: a big deal because once you give somebody your number,
Speaker 2: now they put it in their phone, they saved the
Speaker 2: contact and they never remember your number unless you're just
Speaker 2: really good at remembering numbers. But there aren't many numbers
Speaker 2: at this point in my life. I just know off
Speaker 2: the top of my head the number that I've said
Speaker 2: more than any number in my life is the one
Speaker 2: that I used to tell people to call in when
Speaker 2: I was on Yeah, I was down the hall on
Speaker 2: Sports Talk seven ninety and then I know my wife's
Speaker 2: cell phone number because it was the number that I would.
Speaker 2: I would dial whenever I was you know, dating or
Speaker 2: in high school, you know, much different time back then.
Speaker 2: I remember calling my mom's work whenever I was a kid.
Speaker 2: I remember my home number, of course, which doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 2: Those are the numbers you remember, just because at that
Speaker 2: time you had to remember unless you just have it
Speaker 2: in your wallet, in your pocket where you wrote it
Speaker 2: down or something like that. Which this reminds me. You know,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of things when it comes to the
Speaker 2: way in which we This kind of ties into our
Speaker 2: conversation earlier about dating apps in the internet. I mean,
Speaker 2: if you are somebody that is that is, you know,
Speaker 2: a teenager, maybe even middle school, and you got to
Speaker 2: crush on a girl and you want to you want
Speaker 2: to chat with her, you know, now you can just
Speaker 2: text her or you can you know, I don't know,
Speaker 2: maybe maybe I don't know. Is there I was going
Speaker 2: to say, like Facebook or something, But I'm sure that's
Speaker 2: not a thing for the younger generation anymore.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like it's dinosaur right now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the way it goes. But like these these kids
Speaker 2: will never know the fear of calling a girl that
Speaker 2: you have to crush on and her dad answering, oh man,
Speaker 2: that was sometimes I would just hang up.
Speaker 3: I'll just hang right right.
Speaker 5: Do you remember the magic moment when she actually gave
Speaker 5: you the phone number? Yeah, when you you would work
Speaker 5: and work to ask for it and she actually gave
Speaker 5: it to you, like whoa.
Speaker 1: Well, I remember it. It usually would be the.
Speaker 2: First time I think I got a phone number and
Speaker 2: I realized, Okay, I guess this is kind of I
Speaker 2: guess this means I.
Speaker 1: Need to call right. It was she she gave it
Speaker 1: to me in class.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like she wrote it down, which I.
Speaker 2: Didn't have to ask. Not to brag, yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: but just saying yeah, it was a different, different time
Speaker 2: back then.
Speaker 3: But uh, I don't even call, dude, I've done that.
Speaker 2: I was such a whimp. If if her dad or
Speaker 2: mom answered, I would I would just hang up. And
Speaker 2: then I'm like, oh now this looks really bad because
Speaker 2: they have call her. I d like, you know what
Speaker 2: am I? Who am I fooling? So anyways, yeah, different
Speaker 2: times for sure, But again, five O two area code
Speaker 2: made you know if you have By the way, if
Speaker 2: you have a five oh two number, that's not going away.
Speaker 2: It's just if you start to get a new number,
Speaker 2: at some point you may not be able to get
Speaker 2: a five oh two number.
Speaker 5: According to the Texas Department of Public Works in Texas,
Speaker 5: at least there could be a possibility of seven million,
Speaker 5: nine hundred and twenty thousand different phone number combination.
Speaker 1: Goodness, great, seven million, it's a lot.
Speaker 2: All right, we got another updated trafficing weather coming your
Speaker 2: way right here at Kentucky and This Morning News. All right,
Speaker 2: it's say sixteen here, it could say This Morning News
Speaker 2: on News ready eight forty w h as. Now that
Speaker 2: we have hit the month of June, I know there's
Speaker 2: plenty that have probably got vacation's plan coming up soon,
Speaker 2: maybe even right now as we speak. And this is
Speaker 2: something that I cannot understand how this has become a trend,
Speaker 2: but apparently it is. Parents are letting their little kids
Speaker 2: plan family trips. I mean, how little are we talking here?
Speaker 2: I mean how how how in depth is the planning
Speaker 2: because I mean we talking like a weekend trip. We're
Speaker 2: talking about like a vacation. I mean to me, that
Speaker 2: just sounds I mean, I know we would end up.
Speaker 2: In fact, if my daughter picked she she wouldn't want
Speaker 2: to go far. She doesn't like long car rides, doesn't
Speaker 2: like riding in a plane. We probably just end up
Speaker 2: at the local Mexican restaurant and that would just be her.
Speaker 2: That's her trip. Yeah, right, where do you want to go?
Speaker 2: She'll say she wants to go to Coke and Rice,
Speaker 2: which is what she is, what she refers to as
Speaker 2: as as Elma Paul, I think I think my son
Speaker 2: he would just want to want to get to a beach,
Speaker 2: but he wouldn't know how to get there and.
Speaker 1: We'd have to do all the work. So like if
Speaker 1: the kids get to plan in, I.
Speaker 3: Mean, no, no Disney World and your crew, no Disneyland.
Speaker 1: You don't know they're luck. You're you're gonna think I'm
Speaker 1: a bad You're gonnak, I'm a bad parents. I'm calve.
Speaker 1: I'm admitting this second day on the job. So we
Speaker 1: are not.
Speaker 2: We've never been to Disney as a family, and I
Speaker 2: don't think we'll ever go, but it may happen. And
Speaker 2: my daughter and my son, they have family members, cousins
Speaker 2: and friends at daycare in school that they that they'd
Speaker 2: have gone to Disney, and they talk about it and
Speaker 2: it's special, it's magical and we made. We made the
Speaker 2: mistake by wanting to be anti not anti Disney, but
Speaker 2: we just didn't plan on going. And then we took
Speaker 2: them to Disney on Ice and all. Then they saw Goofy,
Speaker 2: they saw they saw the whole crew, and then you know,
Speaker 2: they realized, well that I want to go where they lived, Disneyland.
Speaker 2: So when they were much younger, we went to the
Speaker 2: Hillview Fair and there was a ferris wheel and.
Speaker 1: We just told him it was Disney.
Speaker 2: Oh my yeah, and there was there there were other
Speaker 2: rides and a lot of Carney stuff and it wasn't
Speaker 2: wasn't quite Disney. And and you know, I think at
Speaker 2: one point my son was was pretty young, but I.
Speaker 1: Did think in his own way.
Speaker 2: I think he asked, like, you know, where are the characters,
Speaker 2: and like what they're on break? It's busy, you say,
Speaker 2: there's a lot going on. You know, Goofy had something
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 5: Or so you're like the parents that you said on
Speaker 5: the YouTube videos that throw on the previous year's Happy
Speaker 5: New Year.
Speaker 3: So the kids at New Year's.
Speaker 1: Eve, that's a great move.
Speaker 3: They do that a lot from you.
Speaker 2: They now know that that was not Disney. But at
Speaker 2: the time I remember you know, telling people, hey, if
Speaker 2: my kids talk about going to Disney and they and
Speaker 2: they reference a very small uh fair that takes place
Speaker 2: in a small community in Bullet County.
Speaker 1: If they prefer that as Disney, you mind your business
Speaker 1: should let it be Disney to them.
Speaker 3: So you say your kids one don't want to go
Speaker 3: to the beach, the other one to go to like
Speaker 3: ell Nepaul. Oh, yeah, which is awesome for for both
Speaker 3: of you.
Speaker 1: We do a beach trip every year and it's always
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It's just a lot of work.
Speaker 3: It is a lot of work, dude. And you guys
Speaker 3: you fly right.
Speaker 1: Yes, we do for you. We do now. So Allegiance
Speaker 1: does a great job.
Speaker 2: Where you can you can let them know ahead of
Speaker 2: time when you book which I only know this because
Speaker 2: my wife. I'll give her the credit. She's the one
Speaker 2: who plans all this and make sure we're ready to go.
Speaker 2: I just show up to the airport and say where's
Speaker 2: the bar. That's kind of that's kind of how I operate.
Speaker 2: So she takes care of me. But with my daughter
Speaker 2: being a special needs child, you can you can let
Speaker 2: them know when you when you are booking tickets for
Speaker 2: certain people that that's the case, and they're really accommodating.
Speaker 2: So we just assumed that flying would be a real
Speaker 2: tough task, just because really with sensory processing, with a
Speaker 2: loud airplane and whatnot. You just it was something we
Speaker 2: were worried about. But it's been smooth sailing. So Allegiance
Speaker 2: got one of the direct flights from Louisville to to Destin,
Speaker 2: which we take every year. That's kind of our I mean,
Speaker 2: everybody I think now goes to Destin and for vacation.
Speaker 2: But uh, even when it's crowded, it's still a whole
Speaker 2: lot of fun. You it seems like most your your
Speaker 2: trips end up just going back home, right we do.
Speaker 3: We go to Michigan. Wessie and my wife and are
Speaker 3: impolar opposite.
Speaker 5: She's a beach book person where I'd like to go
Speaker 5: to Colorado and my wife has zero interest in going
Speaker 5: to Colorado.
Speaker 2: My wife made have orders me. If she hears this,
Speaker 2: if I never met a beach again, I don't think
Speaker 2: I would complain.
Speaker 3: I don't hate it.
Speaker 1: I've just done it enough. I've seen enough, and you know.
Speaker 3: Yep, I want to go to Colorado. She wants nothing
Speaker 3: to do with that and.
Speaker 1: So we enjoyed myself. But yeah, I just I am
Speaker 1: with you.
Speaker 5: Nah, I get you. I want to go somewhere with
Speaker 5: seventy in the summer. I'm a hoodie weather kind of guy.
Speaker 5: So I'll see. But we are going to try to
Speaker 5: do a DC trip and do the White House Tour.
Speaker 5: My kids would like to do that now that they're older,
Speaker 5: because they want to see things in DC.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we'll see.
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to my kids getting older and wanting
Speaker 2: to do other things than what they're just used to
Speaker 2: every single day. It'll happen at some point.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: Another update on traffic and weather is coming your way,
Speaker 2: as well as another update on sports with Scott right
Speaker 2: here on News Ready Weight forty whis it is eight
Speaker 2: forty five here at Kentucky this morning News, Nick Coffee,
Speaker 2: finishing up my.
Speaker 1: Second shift, second day on the job. Vannetti doesn't like
Speaker 1: when I keep mentioning that I'm that I'm new here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let it go, move on.
Speaker 2: Son Ofnetti's coming up next with dwhite Wit and John
Speaker 2: Shannon in the studio with.
Speaker 1: Us here as well.
Speaker 2: What's uh Dwight doing all the show prop today? You
Speaker 2: usually leave it to him.
Speaker 4: Dwight is. I just texted him and said, do tell
Speaker 4: me when you hit the parking because he needs help.
Speaker 4: He will needs help. But he travels like he has
Speaker 4: a newborn, like he's got four bags food and five cups.
Speaker 4: He's got a big satchel that he never washes. His
Speaker 4: coffee cup is never washed. His water cup is never washed.
Speaker 4: So there's like a brown sludge.
Speaker 6: It's coated with character and get rid of the flavor.
Speaker 6: My coffee cup's the same way, nasty.
Speaker 3: It builds characters.
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna help him. Man, he needs to get
Speaker 4: that one what's on wheels where you put your knee
Speaker 4: on it and do that. I think that would be
Speaker 4: a little bit better than the crutches.
Speaker 6: I got a wagon at the house, a collapsible wagon
Speaker 6: grandkids around.
Speaker 3: He can bring that.
Speaker 2: In all seriousness, even if he didn't have as many
Speaker 2: bags and cups and whatnot, it would be very difficult
Speaker 2: to get around with the way he's got. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding you. I thought he really did hurt
Speaker 2: himself when you when I heard you guys talking about it.
Speaker 2: And then I show up last week to the remote
Speaker 2: and he's he's he's.
Speaker 4: Hot, little out of it. Yeah, uh, and he's he's
Speaker 4: a little out of it. So they made his cast
Speaker 4: so it's not like a cast or he can put
Speaker 4: like a boot on it where you can walk. So
Speaker 4: they made the cast and it's interesting science or whatever
Speaker 4: that the muscle will grow back together naturally, so no surgery.
Speaker 4: So they made his foot in the cast where his
Speaker 4: toes are pointing down so we can't put weight on it.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know they could do it that way.
Speaker 2: This is the Achilles, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, man? And have you ever seen somebody
Speaker 4: when they pop that?
Speaker 2: I So my high school basketball coach was put me
Speaker 2: through a workout going into my junior year and he
Speaker 2: was just found the hell out of me, just they're
Speaker 2: gonna be doing this to you. And I came off
Speaker 2: a screen and I heard it and I didn't know
Speaker 2: what it was. He hit the ground, he grabbed the
Speaker 2: back of his leg and he knew exactly what it was,
Speaker 2: and he just kept saying, it's for God dominic comedic Wilkins.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm I'm like, I'm like, what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? And he was right.
Speaker 4: He didn't love your coach beating the crap out. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: practice because I was smaller. You were smaller guard trying
Speaker 4: to get to the rim, and you knew they were
Speaker 4: going to beat you up.
Speaker 2: Three people guarding me, this is what they're going to do.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, they're not. That would make no sense.
Speaker 6: And that ladies and gentlemen, for those of you that
Speaker 6: don't know, because he hasn't humble bragged about this is
Speaker 6: why Nick Coffee was a Kentucky mister Basketball.
Speaker 1: No I wasn't. I thought I was a basketball lawyer.
Speaker 1: But the region mister basketball goes to the best player
Speaker 1: in the state. That was not me.
Speaker 4: No, I think it was mister bullet County right was
Speaker 4: you were ranked higher than the Preston Noles. There you go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm sure I'm sure whoever put that list
Speaker 2: together no longer works in that service. But yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: basketball was Basketball was a lot of fun and and
Speaker 2: I remember not even really knowing what an achilles injury was,
Speaker 2: but you can when it happened, you hear it like.
Speaker 1: It's it's almost like I wouldn't know how to describe it.
Speaker 2: It's not like a collision, but it's just it's a
Speaker 2: pop that you know, you knew didn't sound good, and
Speaker 2: then sure enough you turn around, Oh he's on the ground.
Speaker 1: You have you ever had a cast like he has?
Speaker 4: Now, No, I've never broken They just that heals naturally, right, No,
Speaker 4: you got to go in and they got you crack,
Speaker 4: They crack you over. I've seen it so many times.
Speaker 4: In the NFL. Roethlisberger had that. Oh God, Raven broke
Speaker 4: his nose on the first play and he's not He's like,
Speaker 4: the doctor is fixing his nose as he's talking to
Speaker 4: Tomlin and he fixes his nose. Bow all this blood
Speaker 4: gushes down his face and he's just get off me
Speaker 4: the pain. He walks back on the field. You people
Speaker 4: don't understand.
Speaker 3: I saw that break was nasty looking.
Speaker 4: Brak after game two in the NFL, or college after
Speaker 4: game three into college football. No one's healthy, everyone's playing hurt.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, whenever. I so I just asked, is that
Speaker 2: just healed naturally? And I thought to myself, you know,
Speaker 2: there are people who have who I've looked at that
Speaker 2: I can tell maybe they they did break the nose
Speaker 2: and didn't get it fixed, you know what.
Speaker 4: I mean, Yeah, because they look tougher. But there you
Speaker 4: get the natural guys. Our car Carl Lenor dropped a
Speaker 4: forty five pound plate on his toe and I was
Speaker 4: at the gym at the time and his and his
Speaker 4: shoe had filled with blood and all that, and I said,
Speaker 4: you're going to go hospital. He goes do anything for
Speaker 4: twos man? The hell naturally, he'll naturally, And I go,
Speaker 4: oh okay, I believed. And then a year later he
Speaker 4: had two full surgeries they took forever because they had
Speaker 4: to fix them.
Speaker 1: Was a broken nose. The worst injury you had in football.
Speaker 4: Uh, well, when you get your hand between two helmets
Speaker 4: and two of your fingers away and back. You know,
Speaker 4: back in the seventies and eighties, they just coached just
Speaker 4: popped them back and said next play, get in tail
Speaker 4: them up. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The only time I ever missed a game was my
Speaker 2: sophomore year. And it's embarrassing to even say aloud now,
Speaker 2: but I know people who've had this under understand that
Speaker 2: it's not anything to mess with. I had an ingrown toenail,
Speaker 2: oh wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But when I was fifteen sixteen, you know, I would
Speaker 2: tell people I can't go and I went to the
Speaker 2: doctor and they're like, yeah, you've got in gooing toenail.
Speaker 2: They stuck this file between mine and they they yanked,
Speaker 2: they numbed it, and then it was recovering from it
Speaker 2: was once well, once the numb the numbing went away,
Speaker 2: then it started to really be painful. But I remember
Speaker 2: telling people, why don't you play a tonail?
Speaker 1: I'd be like, you know, and.
Speaker 2: One of my coaches, one of my assistant coaches, was
Speaker 2: like he was questioning me. And then years later it's
Speaker 2: like I always thought about that in going tone. Now
Speaker 2: I got one last year.
Speaker 1: It's tough.
Speaker 6: I got I had one pop up while I was
Speaker 6: in basic training. The worst possible time to have it
Speaker 6: happened because drill sergeants absolutely hate for you not to
Speaker 6: be doing peetea and walking around something gross.
Speaker 4: So I knew somebody within grown toenails. It was kind
Speaker 4: of open and he didn't wear socks on a hotel
Speaker 4: floor carpet. Always wear socks when you're in a hotel. Okay,
Speaker 4: there's so many in the carpet.
Speaker 2: I wear sandals in hotel showers. I'm real weird about feet.
Speaker 1: No, that was weird. That was weird, right, I mean
Speaker 1: it's no.
Speaker 4: This is the stuff that people will discover about you
Speaker 4: on this show, Nick Coffee, weird about feet.
Speaker 2: Got some weird phobias too, and I won't share them
Speaker 2: because if I do, then people will mess with mean Tay.
Speaker 2: Let's see if it really is a phobia. Listen, do this,
Speaker 2: and then I'll have a panic attack.
Speaker 4: You were supposed to text me and I was gonna
Speaker 4: help you from the jeep.
Speaker 1: Dude, Dwight. He told me he's not coming to get you.
Speaker 2: He said he's gonna he's gonna really have to tough
Speaker 2: it out. He's done, baby, and you he said what
Speaker 2: he said.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to be a burden.
Speaker 4: This is what I have to do with I didn't
Speaker 4: want to be a burden.
Speaker 1: I could see you walking in falling over. Thanks not
Speaker 1: but good everybody. No, please don't get up for me.
Speaker 3: He's got a word.
Speaker 6: Tony has no sympathy for this man at all.
Speaker 3: He was in here in pain the other day.
Speaker 6: I had to come in and help him because Tony's
Speaker 6: just like, rubbed some dirt on it and get up. No.
Speaker 4: I smacked him in the face. I said, you want
Speaker 4: me to take that mind off your ankle.
Speaker 1: That'll yeah, that'll, that'll shift the attention elsewhere.
Speaker 3: He liked it.
