1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, Kentucky, and it is Kentucky and is Morning

2
00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>News with Coffee and Company here on News Radio eight

3
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>forty whas So, what we have learned from the big

4
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.519
<v Speaker 1>stories yesterday, we now know that the situation to the

5
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Fairgrounds on Sunday was really nothing. And I do think

6
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>the explanation makes it make sense as to how you

7
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>could have everything involved from the visual that we've now

8
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.719
<v Speaker 1>seen from many social media clips of those that were

9
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>attending the basketball tournament panicked running trying to find probably

10
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 1>their kids or whoever they were there with, just in

11
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>fear because they assumed that there was an active aggressor

12
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:43.799
<v Speaker 1>showing up. And we just can't be surprised when those

13
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of things happen anymore. Unfortunately, so to know that

14
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 1>that took place, there was also and I still don't

15
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.520
<v Speaker 1>know for sure the specifics of the Kentucky Kingdom incident,

16
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.719
<v Speaker 1>but nonetheless it became a big issue.

17
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Right.

18
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>You had law enforcement show up and respond, because that's

19
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:02.039
<v Speaker 1>what they're always going to do when there's a report

20
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.239
<v Speaker 1>of an active aggressor or an active shooter in a

21
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 1>situation like that. So for it to end up playing

22
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.599
<v Speaker 1>out to where it was nothing, I think the explanation

23
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>makes it make sense. I certainly wouldn't have guessed it.

24
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:16.719
<v Speaker 1>But it turns out there was a ceiling tile that

25
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>fell and struck a metal chair around the same time

26
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>a woman experienced a medical emergency nearby. So the combined

27
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 1>sounds and commotion created I guess confusion and fear that

28
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 1>quickly escalated and spread. And that's that's not really surprising,

29
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.879
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's unfortunate to know that that really this

30
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>was this was just just a random situation with just

31
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 1>bad timing for things to happen. And if you want

32
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 1>to blame anybody, I'm not really sure who you would blame, right,

33
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.599
<v Speaker 1>this is just something that I mean, I guess maybe

34
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the ceiling tile falling, maybe that's but I mean, those

35
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>things happened, and you wouldn't typically think that it would

36
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 1>lead to what an ended up playing out on Sunday.

37
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>But the good news is that nobody ended up being hurt.

38
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>But I was just fearful that this was going to

39
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>be another thing for people to point at about our

40
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>city and say, well, man, this place needs to get

41
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 1>their stuff in order, because my goodness, and look, we

42
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>do need to get our stuff in order. I mean,

43
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>that's not that's not something I'm trying to deflect. But

44
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 1>this was just a bad timing, bad luck. Can we

45
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>catch a break? That's kind of what I'm thinking here. Also,

46
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>we're continuing to learn a little more about the gunman

47
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday in Lexington that opened fire on a trooper

48
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 1>after being pulled over near the Bluegrass Airport, only to

49
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>then carjack someone and make his way to a church,

50
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.919
<v Speaker 1>killing two people wounding two others. So guy House, we

51
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>now know that he has a background of being a criminal,

52
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>also drug use and mental health issues. That is what

53
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 1>those who know him and some of his family, including

54
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the mother of his children, has come out and said.

55
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.680
<v Speaker 1>But also another detail here as far as just maybe

56
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 1>some timing that led to this, he had a hearing

57
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.439
<v Speaker 1>on Monday for domestic violence. So the day before he

58
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.759
<v Speaker 1>did this, he was set to go to court for

59
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 1>a hearing when it comes to domestic violence, but it

60
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.439
<v Speaker 1>did not involve the women he was reportedly seeking at

61
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:21.439
<v Speaker 1>the church. The woman, I should say, and that's the

62
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 1>mother of his child, who has since done at least

63
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a couple of interviews that I've seen, and clearly this

64
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 1>was a troubled individual. And I don't know if you're

65
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.039
<v Speaker 1>out here looking at people and trying to evaluate who

66
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the next potential person to do something like this is,

67
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:35.879
<v Speaker 1>because that would be no way to live. And I

68
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:40.599
<v Speaker 1>think it'd be tough to know. But drug problems, criminal history,

69
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 1>mental health issues. Maybe the mental health issues have come

70
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>from the life that this person has experienced, but just

71
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a tragic situation all the way around. When you combine

72
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.919
<v Speaker 1>the components of this situation top to bottom, it's not

73
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.439
<v Speaker 1>a shocker that this became, of course, a national story.

74
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.879
<v Speaker 1>Law enforcement getting fired upon just when holding someone over carjacking,

75
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and then a mass shooting at a church. So unfortunate

76
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 1>all the way around. And it is nice though to

77
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>see there were folks near the airport when the officer

78
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 1>was shot that took action, called nine one one and

79
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 1>tried to help. And those are things that you would

80
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 1>just assume and hope that everyone does, because I mean,

81
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 1>that's what you should do. But I think two sides

82
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>of this one. I don't think anybody really knows what

83
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>they would do in that situation. I mean, if you didn't,

84
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.319
<v Speaker 1>you didn't clearly see that the person who shot the

85
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 1>officer was gone and made his way to, I guess,

86
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.319
<v Speaker 1>find somebody and steal their car. I mean, I don't

87
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>know if people would have taken as quick of action.

88
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you just don't. I don't think anybody knows

89
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.639
<v Speaker 1>what they'll do in a lot of situations until they

90
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.079
<v Speaker 1>in fact are in said situations, and that's one of them.

91
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:53.040
<v Speaker 1>But also, if you are the officer, I mean, I'm

92
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 1>sure you will forever feel grateful for someone who probably

93
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't know you. And clearly, law enforcement there's not enough

94
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>said about the good things they do and what they

95
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>sign up for and what they experience in that line

96
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>of work all because they want to. And yeah, there's

97
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>plenty of examples of individuals taking advantage of things that

98
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>come with being in law enforcement, but that's I mean,

99
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 1>that's a minor thing compared to the vast majority who

100
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.959
<v Speaker 1>probably go about their day assuming that people don't appreciate them.

101
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 1>And look, they clearly don't get into it to be appreciated,

102
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 1>or they wouldn't do it. So I know there was

103
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>at least one of the one of the individuals that

104
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 1>was nearby when that happened that took action and helped

105
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the trooper called nine one one and always nice to

106
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:44.319
<v Speaker 1>remind people that those individuals still exist in society. All right,

107
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 1>let's get an update on traffic and weather. I want

108
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to revisit the tipping conversation from earlier. You got to

109
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>be mindful when you get that receipt from a restaurant.

110
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.000
<v Speaker 1>You might want to double check their math. They may

111
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.240
<v Speaker 1>be just putting a number down that tells you that's

112
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:02.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty percent of of what your bill is and just

113
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 1>assuming you're gonna believe it, which hand up. I've probably

114
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>done that before. But there's also some other things I

115
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:09.879
<v Speaker 1>want to discuss when it comes to tipping, because that's

116
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 1>something everybody has a strong opinion on. All right, first,

117
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.199
<v Speaker 1>let's get an update on traffic and weather. Right here,

118
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>it's Kentucky and his Morning News with Coffee and Company

119
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>on News Radio eight forty. Whas if we were going

120
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.600
<v Speaker 1>to put together a list of things that most have

121
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 1>not just an opinion, but maybe a strong opinion on,

122
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I feel like gratuity tipping is one of those. And

123
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.079
<v Speaker 1>this is something we talked about earlier. If you weren't

124
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.839
<v Speaker 1>with us in the seven o'clock hour, but a customer

125
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>at Chili's is accusing them of not math in the

126
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:46.519
<v Speaker 1>right way, and he claims that Chili's is deceptive because

127
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 1>the percentage that was shown on his receipt, which I'm

128
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>sure that's common at a lot of restaurants. Not everyone

129
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 1>has it, but a lot of times if you give

130
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>him the receipt to check out at a restaurant, the

131
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 1>receipt that you signed will have options fer gratuity that

132
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:02.279
<v Speaker 1>just say, you know, here's what it would be if

133
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:03.879
<v Speaker 1>you tip eighteen percent, here's what it would be if

134
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>you tip twenty fifteen, whatever it may be. And he

135
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 1>did show that the receipt didn't add up as far

136
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.079
<v Speaker 1>as what they claimed the certain so his dinner was

137
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven dollars and seven cents. The receipt claimed that

138
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 1>eighteen percent of that equals six twenty eight and twenty

139
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>five percent of that equals eight to seventy three, when

140
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.439
<v Speaker 1>the correct calculations were lower than that. And he went

141
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>on to say that it's illegal. And this became a

142
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 1>big story because others have chimed in to say that

143
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.319
<v Speaker 1>they've experienced the same thing at Chili's, and then there's

144
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>others that have said it's happened at other restaurants before.

145
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm only bringing it up, because I will admit I've

146
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>never even looked at that. I've just assumed, well, surely

147
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.439
<v Speaker 1>that's right. And to be fair, those that said that

148
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>there was probably an explanation for it, and there may

149
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:47.839
<v Speaker 1>be an explanation for it, or this guy could be lying.

150
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Who knows, but if you have a q pon or

151
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>a rewards program at that restaurant, then maybe that you know,

152
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:58.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe the tip was already there, but then your price

153
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.959
<v Speaker 1>was lower because they saw that you had like a

154
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty percent off or whatever it may be. However, this

155
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>guy did claim that that was not the case. He

156
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't have any kind of discount, and he just said

157
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>that they that it was just wrong and it could

158
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:10.800
<v Speaker 1>be I mean, it could clearly be just an error,

159
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:12.240
<v Speaker 1>or it could be just a way to see if

160
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.560
<v Speaker 1>people are actually paying attention and maybe you can end

161
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:19.000
<v Speaker 1>up getting more of a tip. So I hadn't thought

162
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.639
<v Speaker 1>about this, but we had somebody reach out to me

163
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.519
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter that was listening and said that they would

164
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:29.879
<v Speaker 1>love to know if restaurants require their servers to inform

165
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.559
<v Speaker 1>a big party that gratuity has already been added. And

166
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.480
<v Speaker 1>that's a great question. I can tell you I've seen

167
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.159
<v Speaker 1>it both ways. I've had a server tell a big

168
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:42.960
<v Speaker 1>party that I was with hey, just so you know,

169
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.279
<v Speaker 1>gratuity's already added. And sometimes it's a given, but sometimes

170
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:51.559
<v Speaker 1>it's not. Sometimes if there's a big party and you've

171
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:55.879
<v Speaker 1>got multiple different checks, right, maybe it's a big dinner

172
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.600
<v Speaker 1>and there's six to seven different checks. Don't really know

173
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.399
<v Speaker 1>how it would work out as far as just the

174
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:04.519
<v Speaker 1>total number, but it wouldn't shock me if maybe at

175
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>that point, depending upon the restaurant, they might prefer that

176
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.440
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't included and you just get your tips from

177
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.279
<v Speaker 1>each each individual check that's there. I guess it depends

178
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:18.799
<v Speaker 1>upon the situation. But I've also I give an example

179
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.559
<v Speaker 1>I had. I was out celebrating a birthday last summer

180
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:25.159
<v Speaker 1>and there were a lot of us there, and my

181
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>buddy's dad was celebrating with us, and he went and

182
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>bought a bunch of drinks for everybody buying around, right,

183
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 1>And he ended up bringing back like eight nine drinks,

184
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.519
<v Speaker 1>and the bill was really expensive. And after a while

185
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.159
<v Speaker 1>he started to think, like, yeah, I know, buying booze

186
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.759
<v Speaker 1>is expensive, but man, some didn't add up, And sure

187
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:47.679
<v Speaker 1>enough he checked the receipt and they had already included gratuity,

188
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:49.399
<v Speaker 1>which I guess because of how many drinks he bought,

189
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>they were able to do that, but they didn't tell him,

190
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.799
<v Speaker 1>so he also tipped on top of that. And I

191
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:57.919
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's a little deceptive if you don't inform

192
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:03.039
<v Speaker 1>somebody whenever the tip is already included whenever they probably

193
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.399
<v Speaker 1>aren't expecting it. But I also am not surprised that

194
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:10.840
<v Speaker 1>they'll see if you'll tip them extra. I would have

195
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:14.679
<v Speaker 1>a hard time. What I would fear is the you

196
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>aren't gonna tell me, because then I would be like, oh,

197
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I forgot you know, I don't know. I wouldn't I

198
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:20.879
<v Speaker 1>would not would well leave.

199
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Them though I wouldn't believe them if they said they

200
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 3>forgot oho either.

201
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And look, I am not somebody that would do

202
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.919
<v Speaker 1>well at being a server, and they're clearly very important

203
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.399
<v Speaker 1>and uh appreciated when you go out to dinner. So

204
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:35.519
<v Speaker 1>but I just you know, you've got to deal with

205
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.799
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people and a lot of interaction, and yeah,

206
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I would hate to get caught being being deceptive like that,

207
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:42.320
<v Speaker 1>which will keep me from doing it. But hey, maybe

208
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:44.279
<v Speaker 1>they're just trying to make a living. But I believe

209
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.080
<v Speaker 1>you should always be transparent. If the tip's already been

210
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:47.879
<v Speaker 1>taken out, let them know. And even if it's on

211
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:50.399
<v Speaker 1>the receipt, I think you should also still let them know.

212
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you're not required to, but anyhow. Or let's get

213
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>an update on Travick and weather. We'll see what the

255
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:47.759
<v Speaker 2>a huge day. We're we are doing a benefit in

256
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.320
<v Speaker 2>memory of Michelle Rush, who is a Crimed against Children

257
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:57.919
<v Speaker 2>detective for the Louisville Metro Police Department. And she was

258
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.879
<v Speaker 2>really well liked in and very passionate about our job,

259
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:04.759
<v Speaker 2>and even when she was going through some tough times

260
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:07.759
<v Speaker 2>with chemo and whatnot, kept on fighting for the kids

261
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.519
<v Speaker 2>of Louisville and just just hear wonderful things. And she

262
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.279
<v Speaker 2>left behind a husband who also is on the police force,

263
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:18.320
<v Speaker 2>and three kids. And we were approached about doing a

264
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:23.879
<v Speaker 2>benefit today and everybody jumped on board, all thirteen area

265
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Barons location. So we're excited today. We're going to be

266
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:33.600
<v Speaker 2>doing twenty percent towards through the Rush family, through the

267
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Louisville Metro Police Foundation, all day, lunch, dinner. As I

268
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:42.440
<v Speaker 2>always tell people, when you know election time, vote early,

269
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:45.360
<v Speaker 2>and often today I'm saying, order food early and often

270
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.480
<v Speaker 2>want to We want people to We want to be

271
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.600
<v Speaker 2>packed at Baronos today so that we can give a

272
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.600
<v Speaker 2>big check. And then also, you know, today's more than

273
00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.080
<v Speaker 2>just selling a lot of pizzas, so we can give

274
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.679
<v Speaker 2>a good check for the family. It's also about the camaraderie.

275
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, a lot of the biggest people that always

276
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:08.120
<v Speaker 2>support these benefits for us are always fellow first responders,

277
00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:11.120
<v Speaker 2>and first responders really come together when they lose one

278
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.720
<v Speaker 2>of their own. It's a special bond. And so there'll

279
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.720
<v Speaker 2>be a lot of groups together, please fire ms, all

280
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.200
<v Speaker 2>of them meeting together. So it's always it's always. Uh,

281
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:24.320
<v Speaker 2>it's a day that you don't want to have because

282
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.600
<v Speaker 2>you know someone has passed. But then on the other hand,

283
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.519
<v Speaker 2>you're glad to have the opportunity to at least kind

284
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.000
<v Speaker 2>of show some people's support in their time.

285
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.480
<v Speaker 3>And ee, yeah, we sometimes dismiss the impact of one

286
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 3>individual and her impact as a mother, as a wife,

287
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:47.200
<v Speaker 3>as a protector of children. For the city of Louisville.

288
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:50.919
<v Speaker 3>Think about just taking one person out and that void

289
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.120
<v Speaker 3>that has to be filled. And the husband now is

290
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:57.559
<v Speaker 3>his needs our help today? I mean he's got a

291
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.679
<v Speaker 3>mortgage now that he can't swing unless he gets help.

292
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.720
<v Speaker 3>And now he's mom and dad and he needs our

293
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:08.879
<v Speaker 3>help today. And let's just George won't say it, but

294
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.320
<v Speaker 3>twenty percent is basically what they make for a day.

295
00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:16.039
<v Speaker 3>So give think about your business in thirteen stores and

296
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.720
<v Speaker 3>saying we're not going to make money on this day. Look,

297
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.080
<v Speaker 3>numbers in restaurants are a small of a margin anyway,

298
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:25.200
<v Speaker 3>So think about doing that in your month and then

299
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:28.879
<v Speaker 3>add it up in the month. But they do it

300
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.279
<v Speaker 3>without thinking, and it's good on you, George, and bear knows,

301
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.320

<v Speaker 3>buy and grab something to eat. And it goes to

00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:41.399
<v Speaker 3>a great cause.
