Speaker 1: Good morning, Kentucky and five oh five here at Kentucky
Speaker 1: and it's morning News with Nick Coffee on news radio
Speaker 1: eight forty w h A, Scott Fitzgerald alongside John Alden's
Speaker 1: here and of course John Shannon, and we will have
Speaker 1: a news update for you guys coming up in twenty five,
Speaker 1: roughly twenty four minutes. And once again Fellas, it's it's
Speaker 1: gonna be hot. We'll be closer to one hundred degrees today,
Speaker 1: more so than we will be closer to ninety degrees.
Speaker 1: I think the day's high as ninety six. And is
Speaker 1: this ever gonna stop?
Speaker 2: This almost to be the peak? Right, How's it gonna like?
Speaker 2: Take her down? Didn't they extend the heat advisory?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, today? And I think after this it does that.
Speaker 3: But I was looking long term, trying to get a
Speaker 3: feel for the fourth The heat's gonna creep back, but
Speaker 3: not as hot as this is. I mean, it's gonna
Speaker 3: be hot, but not as it's like.
Speaker 1: The humidity feels as if we've just been waiting for
Speaker 1: a big rainfall for days now, meaning and I guess
Speaker 1: we did get some random scattered pop up showers, I
Speaker 1: believe on Monday, But you know, whenever you feel like
Speaker 1: the rain, when the rain's building, it just seems as
Speaker 1: if the humidity starts to just thicken and then like
Speaker 1: right before it rains, it cools off a little bit.
Speaker 1: Like we feel like we've been in that window of
Speaker 1: time for the last few days. And I'm not asking
Speaker 1: for rain, but I'm also not asking for this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if the swamp ass season is right on schedule.
Speaker 2: It is. I saw a TikTok video. It was hilarious.
Speaker 2: Apparently he said like an alligator.
Speaker 3: And a chicken, or having an argument as to whether
Speaker 3: or not my ass is truly swamp today, it is oppressive, nick,
Speaker 3: you walk outside.
Speaker 2: I felt it yesterday.
Speaker 3: I felt it yesterday more than I did the days before,
Speaker 3: I think, And I did notice, and that's how I
Speaker 3: kind of gauge it.
Speaker 2: When I come down on sixty four, I mentioned it.
Speaker 3: The temperature briefly dips in between Cockranhill Tunnels and downtown,
Speaker 3: and I did notice. It came down about seventy eight
Speaker 3: in my car. It had been hovered around eighty one
Speaker 3: eighty two. So maybe that cooler night weather is on
Speaker 3: the way. But these ac folks, boy, HVAC people, I've
Speaker 3: seen them all over my neighborhood.
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised at all, because you're putting your unit
Speaker 1: through a lot right as soon as summer gets rolling.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the air conditioning in most homes has
Speaker 1: been on for for a while now, but it's running,
Speaker 1: probably more so in the last five days than it
Speaker 1: has since the previous year. And you'll find out what
Speaker 1: it's made.
Speaker 2: Of, and you will.
Speaker 3: I was talking with the HVAC guy yesterday and one
Speaker 3: of the things, one of our comendations he gave me
Speaker 3: was by the cheap air filter, don't spend the twenty
Speaker 3: and twenty by the cheap one.
Speaker 2: Replace it often.
Speaker 1: Replace it more often with the cheaper Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that makes sense.
Speaker 3: But Biani also said, get the maintenance done on your
Speaker 3: AC unit and make sure that that's done.
Speaker 1: It's like your vehicle. I mean, if you're not getting
Speaker 1: your oil changed and you're not you know, you're not
Speaker 1: taking care of it and you're not being mindful about
Speaker 1: little things. I'm sure that that could definitely have a
Speaker 1: factor in the the how long those things can last.
Speaker 1: So again, stay prepared, everybody. It's gonna be hot once again,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't look like we're going to get a
Speaker 1: real relief for at least a few days. But uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I think same with you. I was yesterday feeling it
Speaker 1: more than I had, and I don't think actually yesterday
Speaker 1: was much different. In fact, I think Tuesday was probably
Speaker 1: worse than yesterday. But regardless, I was just outside a
Speaker 1: little bit more, and that just takes its toll on you,
Speaker 1: just being in the sun. And it wouldn't as if
Speaker 1: I was outside for a long time, but more so
Speaker 1: yesterday than I had been in a while. And I
Speaker 1: think that is a factor that you know, maybe I
Speaker 1: didn't realize. It's not just about you know, getting some
Speaker 1: hydration when needed and obviously cooling off here and there
Speaker 1: if you can when you're outdoors for a while, But
Speaker 1: then the sun will take a lot out of you.
Speaker 1: And if you just I mean, it's gross to say,
Speaker 1: but if you're sweating a lot, that's that's it's gonna
Speaker 1: lead to dehydration, and of course that's a factor, and fatigue.
Speaker 2: Well, and you get shorter with people in traffic.
Speaker 3: I was telling you off the air yesterday, every car
Speaker 3: I've owned, the ace's gone out, and I'm just not
Speaker 3: spending the night to get it fixed.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure you're sitting at that light and the light.
Speaker 3: Feels like it's longer, it's hot, it just in the
Speaker 3: air is not blowing.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. I'm curious, Scott when you
Speaker 1: say you're just not paying the money to get it fixed.
Speaker 1: I know that it's a lot of money, but are
Speaker 1: you or are you? Are you someone that kind of
Speaker 1: likes that challenge to yourself? Meaning how long can I
Speaker 1: go without biting the bullet, just because a lot of
Speaker 1: people like try to challenge themselves to see how, you know,
Speaker 1: I know people who have different checking accounts, one that
Speaker 1: basically is a savings but they operate on the other
Speaker 1: one that has almost nearly no money in it at times,
Speaker 1: and it's just to see kind of how just to
Speaker 1: challenge themselves because if you, I mean, look, ac is
Speaker 1: something I think we all at times have probably taken
Speaker 1: for granted. But when I see folks that are out
Speaker 1: and about in their vehicle the last few days with
Speaker 1: the type of heat that we've had and they've got
Speaker 1: the windows down, I mean, I just assume that it's
Speaker 1: because their air conditioning doesn't work, Like if they're choosing windows,
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel for you.
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's one of those things where it helps
Speaker 2: got out. No, I'm good.
Speaker 3: I just there's things i'd rather to your point, I'd
Speaker 3: rather look at my bank statement and see that two
Speaker 3: three hundred dollars in the bank, then be cool.
Speaker 2: For a quick Yeah, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 2: and more since the weight loss a more tolerable of
Speaker 2: the heat.
Speaker 3: Now you asked me, since about five years ago, I'm like, ah,
Speaker 3: I'm getting the AC fixed.
Speaker 2: I can't do this.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll share this story later through the morning because
Speaker 1: I have and this isn't going to be a poor
Speaker 1: me situation, trust me, because I would never try to
Speaker 1: insinuate that I'm that I'm having it to rough it
Speaker 1: out more so than others. But I did have a
Speaker 1: vehicle that I'm I would make the cases was the
Speaker 1: worst vehicle you could have if your air conditioning didn't work.
Speaker 1: And I'll explain why. Oh good, coming up a little
Speaker 1: bit later on. We got sports coming your way in
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes. In an NBA draft night last night.
Speaker 1: A lot to take from that. I love what comes
Speaker 1: with the draft that has nothing to do with the
Speaker 1: actual selections. It's what happens throughout the process of players
Speaker 1: getting selected. We certainly got a lot of that last night.
Speaker 1: But next what I want to take a look at
Speaker 1: is the latest in the Crystal Rogers case. Day two
Speaker 1: of the trial yesterday. I believe we now have some
Speaker 1: new information as far as those keeping up with this
Speaker 1: when it comes to what the prosecution is putting together
Speaker 1: for their case. So we'll get to that in a
Speaker 1: lot more. It's a Thursday, Kentucky and is Morning News
Speaker 1: on news Radio eight forty WHAS five seventeen here Kentucky,
Speaker 1: and is Morning News with Nick Coffee on news Radio
Speaker 1: eight forty WHAS. Take us with you wherever you go.
Speaker 1: Listen live at WHAS dot com. Also listen live on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. So I don't know if it would
Speaker 1: be fair to say there was a lot of courtroom
Speaker 1: drama yesterday, but I could just since I could feel
Speaker 1: the the interest and just the amount of people that
Speaker 1: are that are keeping up with this as best they can.
Speaker 1: And that is the Crystal Rogers case. Because day two
Speaker 1: of the trial unfolded yesterday in Bowling Green, Warren County.
Speaker 1: Day one was really just the Jerry selection process, it seems,
Speaker 1: but there was a it was. It was a lengthy
Speaker 1: day and I could be wrong here, and I've tried
Speaker 1: my best to keep up with this just one because
Speaker 1: I want to. I'm going to enjoy discussing it as
Speaker 1: it plays out here, but also just because I'm interested.
Speaker 1: This is something that I know that I'm one of
Speaker 1: probably countless people that have just been fascinated by this
Speaker 1: ten year old case where this woman disappeared in July
Speaker 1: of twenty fifteen and her then boyfriend, Brooks Hawk has
Speaker 1: been believed to be the prime suspect and he's the
Speaker 1: one facing the murder charge. But there's no body. They
Speaker 1: never found a body. So her car was abandoned on
Speaker 1: July fifth, twenty fifteen, and that was on the Bluegrass Parkway. Again,
Speaker 1: they never found a body. This is a no body
Speaker 1: homicide case. So her former boyfriend and the father of
Speaker 1: one of her kids is charged with murdering and tampering
Speaker 1: with physical evidence. And then there's a father's son duo,
Speaker 1: and the father has already stood trial and he was
Speaker 1: convicted of conspiracy and tampering. And then Joseph Lawson is
Speaker 1: his son. He's a former employee of HAWC And again
Speaker 1: this could be information that other people already have. But
Speaker 1: when it comes to the prosecution as far as what
Speaker 1: they're you know, what they're you know, alleging here, it
Speaker 1: seems as if there's more, so I guess belief that
Speaker 1: the mother, Rosemary Hawk, was a factor here. So they
Speaker 1: brought up the fact that, let's see, yea, the lead
Speaker 1: prosecutor is a special prosecutor named Shane Young, and the
Speaker 1: state alleges that a conspiracy involving Halck, the Lawsons, and
Speaker 1: others including Hawk's mother Rosemary, and then of course the
Speaker 1: brother Nick Hawk, which again, when I throw all these
Speaker 1: details out there, it sounds like I'm all over the place,
Speaker 1: and I'm just of the assumption, which is probably not
Speaker 1: the right assumption to make, that a lot of people
Speaker 1: are fully aware of this entire situation. But Brooks Hawk,
Speaker 1: the boyfriend who a lot of people think is responsible
Speaker 1: for this in some former fashion, his brother Nick was
Speaker 1: a law enforcement officer at the time all this happened.
Speaker 1: Now he's not a law enforcement officer. But both Nick
Speaker 1: Hawke and Rosemary Hawk are unindicted co conspirators, meaning they've
Speaker 1: yet to be they've yet to face charges, but clearly
Speaker 1: they're still being investigated in charges could potentially come. But
Speaker 1: it sounds as if the you know, it was a
Speaker 1: it was a big old group of folks that were
Speaker 1: in some in some way allegedly involved in this, in
Speaker 1: this entire thing. And and again what what what I
Speaker 1: felt like was new information, at least for me, it was,
Speaker 1: was the prosecution mentioning that that the mother, Rosemary Howck
Speaker 1: allegedly was was more so uh a factor in this
Speaker 1: because she felt as if Crystal Rodgers was beneath the
Speaker 1: Hawk family in whatever whatever that means. So also there
Speaker 1: is there's a witness that is that is going to
Speaker 1: be testifying at some point who was allegedly and I'm
Speaker 1: sure this will be something that gets talked about whenever
Speaker 1: this witness takes the stand that although not being accused
Speaker 1: of actually taking out the act, he was somebody that
Speaker 1: allegedly again was I guess vetted to potentially be a
Speaker 1: hit man or take take her out in some form
Speaker 1: or fashion. So, uh, we'll see how this thing plays
Speaker 1: out over these next few days. But man, you I
Speaker 1: get a sense it there's a lot of attention nationally
Speaker 1: on this case, in this big story that's now a
Speaker 1: decade in here in Kentucky. All right, we've got trafficking
Speaker 1: weather coming your way in just a few minutes, actually
Speaker 1: we have. We have that right now, and then sports
Speaker 1: coming up in just a few minutes right here our
Speaker 1: news radio eight forty whas. Thank you very much, John Shannon.
Speaker 1: It's five thirty five here Kentucky and it's morning news.
Speaker 1: Nick Coffee, that's me. Thanks for hanging out with us.
Speaker 1: I'm not alone. I've got John all On alongside, and
Speaker 1: Scott Fitzgerald'll be back in the saddle with us in
Speaker 1: about about twenty minutes with another update on sports. John,
Speaker 1: you and I are alike in a lot of ways,
Speaker 1: and I think I'm correct in saying one of those
Speaker 1: reasons that we're like is that we follow the law.
Speaker 1: We don't break the law. We do.
Speaker 2: We are rule followers.
Speaker 1: You've never been arrested, right, never been arrested. Same here,
Speaker 1: I would hope neither one. I've not been arrested. You've
Speaker 1: not been arrested, and I want to keep it that way.
Speaker 1: So I want what I want to do is discuss
Speaker 1: these new Kentucky laws that are going to be in
Speaker 1: effect starting tomorrow. So you may have and I don't
Speaker 1: know if this is going to lead to some lifestyle
Speaker 1: changes for you as far as you know, making sure
Speaker 1: you're not breaking the law. But let's let's just let
Speaker 1: everybody know, just to be safe. So what we have
Speaker 1: is the transgender bathroom bill that was set at Bill one.
Speaker 1: Schools must ensure students use restrooms and locker rooms matching
Speaker 1: their biological sex, not gender identity. Violations could cost schools
Speaker 1: up to five thousand dollars per incident, with private lawsuits
Speaker 1: allowed to enforce compliance. So schools not in not going
Speaker 1: on for I don't think anybody at this point, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe summer school. I guess that could technically still apply.
Speaker 1: So I would imagine that school systems across the state
Speaker 1: have been well aware of this and are doing whatever
Speaker 1: they need to do to make sure they can ply
Speaker 1: and follow the law and avoid a five thousand dollars violation.
Speaker 1: That you know, that's a lot of money. I don't
Speaker 1: think you and I are going to be having any
Speaker 1: worries there. We don't work in the school system, so
Speaker 1: we're good. This is uh the this is House House
Speaker 1: Bill five, It's Safer Kentucky Act, and this is where
Speaker 1: it pays for us to be non criminals, because this
Speaker 1: is a public safety law targeting crime in certain areas
Speaker 1: and introduces a three strike rule. A third time violent
Speaker 1: offender will face life without parole. So you know, that's
Speaker 1: good to know. But we've got three strikes to give, right,
Speaker 1: I don't think I've got no violent offensives. All my
Speaker 1: records must know exactly. Good stuff. So and then there's
Speaker 1: another one. This is a house built in This aims
Speaker 1: to improve mental health by expanding mental health support for
Speaker 1: new mothers. So what this does is it creates a
Speaker 1: statewide maternal health hotline and allows pregnant women to enroll
Speaker 1: in community based mental health programs. So this, of course
Speaker 1: is an attempt to address Kentucky's high maternal mortality rates,
Speaker 1: particularly in rural areas here in the states. So I
Speaker 1: don't think that's on our radar. But again, at least
Speaker 1: now we know. The better we know the laws and whatnot,
Speaker 1: the better we yeah, taking notes. That's a good student
Speaker 1: at five point thirty eight in the morning. Good stuff.
Speaker 1: And then also this this really, this is this isn't
Speaker 1: about us, you know, following any law when it comes
Speaker 1: to being criminal. But this is uh house built six
Speaker 1: hundred This allows Kentuckians to buy alcohol from distilleries, wineries
Speaker 1: and retailers and have it shipped directly to their homes. This,
Speaker 1: of course is a tip of the tip of the
Speaker 1: cap for the bourbon industry here in the state. And
Speaker 1: you got to keep in mind if you can now again,
Speaker 1: I think, I guess you have to be a Kentuckian
Speaker 1: or maybe you could do it elsewhere in other states.
Speaker 1: I doubt that's the case, but regardless, this will be
Speaker 1: a big added revenue stream I would imagine. I mean,
Speaker 1: I can't prove it. Maybe I'm way off here because
Speaker 1: obviously it's not a common thing for people to order
Speaker 1: bourbon from a distillery and have it sent to you.
Speaker 1: You know why, it's not common because you didn't used
Speaker 1: to be able to do it. Well, now that you
Speaker 1: can and it's legal, I bet there are many people
Speaker 1: that will that will take advantage of that. So there
Speaker 1: you have it, just so everybody is aware that's what
Speaker 1: will take effect tomorrow, all right. I don't forget. Roy
Speaker 1: O'Neil's going to join us coming up here in about
Speaker 1: in about five minutes or so. And what I want
Speaker 1: to discuss with Rory is what we have here with
Speaker 1: the the meeting that is coming up with President Trump
Speaker 1: and Iran. So I guess now that the latest ceasefire
Speaker 1: does seem to be in full effect. Well, I guess
Speaker 1: the next step here is is the the meeting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's next week. I thought I thought it said next week,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I just wanted to make sure here from
Speaker 1: this report. So Trump wrapped up the NATO summit, and
Speaker 1: we'll have I had a press conference yesterday and he
Speaker 1: said the United States is expected to meet with Iran
Speaker 1: next week. And what comes. I mean, there's really nothing
Speaker 1: that's off the table here, folks. I mean Trump going
Speaker 1: into a meeting with somebody could could go in a
Speaker 1: lot of directions, right, like maybe we have a full
Speaker 1: blown war with Iran. I don't know. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't think that's going to happen. I doubt that happens.
Speaker 1: But again, there's a there's an added element here to
Speaker 1: to this, to this, this tenure in office for Trump
Speaker 1: to where really nothing would shock me. And it's kind
Speaker 1: of been a theme here in America for a while.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: All right, trafficking weather updates are coming your way right now.
Speaker 1: And then roy on Eali of NBC new's going to
Speaker 1: stop by, so don't go anywhere. Stick with us right
Speaker 1: here on news radio eight to forty Whas five forty
Speaker 1: five Here Kentucky and it's Morning News on news radio
Speaker 1: eight forty whas. Nick Coffee with you, and I've got
Speaker 1: Rory on Eale of NBC News joining me here this morning.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Rory, with the latest on the ceasefire finally
Speaker 1: taking full effect seemingly. What can you tell us about
Speaker 1: how Americans feel about the military strikes it took place
Speaker 1: over the weekend, and the country's current relationship with Israel.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's interesting the ceasefire is still holding
Speaker 4: so quiet overnight, so that's been a good thing. A
Speaker 4: new Quinnipiac poll, though, just taken since the US launched
Speaker 4: those strikes into Iran, shows forty two percent of American
Speaker 4: voters support the US joining Israel in those military strikes,
Speaker 4: but fifty one percent oppose it. Half of voters think
Speaker 4: that the US military strikes actually make America less safe,
Speaker 4: forty two think they would make Americans safer, and it
Speaker 4: does bring up these concerns. About eight and ten Americans
Speaker 4: are concerned that the US now gets dragged into a
Speaker 4: broader war with Israel against Iran.
Speaker 1: So yesterday we found out that President Trump in the
Speaker 1: United States are expected to meet with Iran. What I
Speaker 1: think really as far as how that meeting goes and
Speaker 1: what comes of it, who knows. I don't think anything's
Speaker 1: really off the table. And I don't say that jokingly.
Speaker 1: You just really never know. But what is this come?
Speaker 1: I mean, is this conversation I guess to just I guess,
Speaker 1: take another step in the well, I guess again. We're
Speaker 1: probably trying. I'm asking you to predict the future here,
Speaker 1: but I would hope that this is just another step
Speaker 1: in another I guess, another step towards peace.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, but as I say, don't bother forming the question,
Speaker 4: because Iran just came out a short time ago to say,
Speaker 4: what meeting? We're not having a meeting with.
Speaker 1: You to know again? Right?
Speaker 4: And that's all the back and forth, like we on
Speaker 4: the day of the ceasefire, Iran was last to confirm
Speaker 4: that a ceasefire was agreed to. So you know, Iran
Speaker 4: is so turned upside down right now. The military leadership
Speaker 4: has been decapitated. It's difficult to get a straight answer,
Speaker 4: and not everyone may be on the same page. So
Speaker 4: as it stands right now, Iran is saying, what meeting?
Speaker 4: But you know, President Trump has also said, why do
Speaker 4: we need a meeting? Iran lost They've got no nukes.
Speaker 4: According to the President, they've got no nuclear program, they
Speaker 4: don't have many arms left, their missile supply has been depleted,
Speaker 4: and that they are a country defeated. So he doesn't
Speaker 4: think there's really much to talk yet.
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem as if a meeting is even necessary,
Speaker 1: which I guess it kind of makes sense.
Speaker 4: But we still have to because you know, Iran still
Speaker 4: has a few tricks up at sleeve. They still got
Speaker 4: some a good deal of ballistic missiles that've got very
Speaker 4: good technology in terms of if they wanted to launch
Speaker 4: some sort of a cyber attack, and of course they've
Speaker 4: got proxy groups. Yes they've been minimized, but they're not zero,
Speaker 4: you know, and they could still try to pull something.
Speaker 1: Rory and Neal of NBC News is our guest joining
Speaker 1: us here on news radio eight forty whl WHS. Let's
Speaker 1: talk some money. Fewer than half of Americans have a
Speaker 1: rainy day fund. Obviously, the housing market is at the
Speaker 1: risk of a potential downturn. And the Generation Z has
Speaker 1: just stopped buying things. What can you tell us about
Speaker 1: the big economic challenges right now and how Americans are reacting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, these are three reports all coming out. One on
Speaker 4: that Rainy Day Fund comes from bank Rate that finds
Speaker 4: fewer than half of Americans have enough money on hand
Speaker 4: to cover three months of expenses, and with the softening
Speaker 4: labor market, that should have people concerned. The only positive
Speaker 4: UPTIC here is that fewer Americans have more credit card
Speaker 4: debt than emergency savings. That shows you that Americans are
Speaker 4: trying to put more money on those credit card payments
Speaker 4: to try to get that debt down. When it comes
Speaker 4: to gen Z, you know they're facing a lot of
Speaker 4: pressures as well. They're graduating and the labor market isn't great,
Speaker 4: so there's showing signs that they're a bit more. We
Speaker 4: talked about them being more conservative. Turns out they may
Speaker 4: be more conservative when it comes to spending as well.
Speaker 4: So in store and online purchases for people between eighteen
Speaker 4: and twenty four down thirteen percent year over year, So
Speaker 4: gen Z may be holding on to his pocketbook.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not at all surprised. And when it comes
Speaker 1: to the amount of Americans who who have enough funds
Speaker 1: to cover basically three months of expenses. I'm not at
Speaker 1: all surprised to see that that is a the folks
Speaker 1: they can afford to do that, it's shrinking. That's just
Speaker 1: kind of the way things are right now, which is unfortunate.
Speaker 1: But here's the hoping it can get better. But Rory
Speaker 1: is always thank you for your time. Enjoy the rest
Speaker 1: of your day, and we'll talk soon.
Speaker 2: Thanks Nick.
Speaker 1: That is Rory and Eal of NBC News. We've got
Speaker 1: traffic and weather coming your way here in just a moment. Also,
Speaker 1: we will get another update on sports, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit later on about just my
Speaker 1: takeaways from last night's NBA Draft. And for those of you,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how many there are, but I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's some the sports trying to turn this into
Speaker 1: a sports show. Damn it, I'm not. I think we
Speaker 1: can talk about what took place at last night's draft
Speaker 1: that really has nothing to do with sports. It's just,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to put ourselves in the shoes of
Speaker 1: those that have that moment and how pointless, useless, a
Speaker 1: waste of time. The interviews that take place as soon
Speaker 1: as somebody gets drafted, I don't care how talented you
Speaker 1: are in that role working as the sideline reporter essentially
Speaker 1: for the draft. Those are just awkward, they're uncomfortable. We
Speaker 1: don't need them. It's actually more useless than the coaches
Speaker 1: in between timeouts getting interviewed on TV for basketball. Like,
Speaker 1: you're not going to get anything out of these coaches anyways.
Speaker 1: Stick with us. It's consecutive. It's morning news right here
Speaker 1: on news Radio eight forty whas
