WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.319
<v Speaker 1>We're in Kentucky. Anda Happy Monday.

2
00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:05.440
<v Speaker 2>It is Kentucky and it's Morning News with Coffee and Company,

3
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:08.439
<v Speaker 2>and it coffee. That's me Scott this year alongside you

4
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.080
<v Speaker 2>just heard John Shannon there for the latest newscast, we'll

5
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 2>get you caught up on traffic and whether Bobby Ellis

6
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.440
<v Speaker 2>will get us updated on how the roadways are looking

7
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:18.920
<v Speaker 2>to get this week started. Also, we'll get the latest

8
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.000
<v Speaker 2>forecast from Susanne Horgan. But if you are just now

9
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 2>joining us, we did talk a lot about the TVT

10
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.039
<v Speaker 2>and I really just can't get over how much we

11
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:28.440
<v Speaker 2>as a city and as a fan base. And it's

12
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.079
<v Speaker 2>not just I guess Louisville and Louisville fans, but I

13
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:33.280
<v Speaker 2>know in Lexington you could see if you watched the

14
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 2>Lat Familia game yesterday that they they have a similar

15
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.079
<v Speaker 2>crowd where it's probably not I mean, it's nothing close

16
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.320
<v Speaker 2>to what you'd see as far as the turnout whenever

17
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 2>you've got Louisville and Kentucky playing in the Young Center

18
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.960
<v Speaker 2>and Rapperena. But there's enough of us because we have

19
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:50.280
<v Speaker 2>a I mean, this area loves college hoops more than

20
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>anybody this region really, so when you've got former players

21
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 2>that come back. All it takes is a crowd of

22
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't know, I'm not even sure what

23
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>the announced attendance was yesterday in RUP or at Freedom Hall,

24
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:05.640
<v Speaker 2>but clearly the atmosphere looks awesome and it's just it's

25
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.879
<v Speaker 2>I think it's perfect for this city, and clearly the

26
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>TVT knows that, which is why they continue to have

27
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Louisville and Lexington as host sites. Also coming up later today,

28
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 2>we're going to get the sentencing of Brett Hankerson. So

29
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 2>of course last week it became, i mean, regardless of

30
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 2>whatever came from the DOJ as far as what they

31
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:25.959
<v Speaker 2>were going to recommend, it was going to be a

32
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 2>big news item because clearly this thing has lingered for many,

33
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:33.000
<v Speaker 2>many years. But the sentencing recommendation was one that a

34
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 2>lot of folks certainly were surprised by pleasantly and then

35
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>of course others probably upset about it. Clearly, Mary Greenberg,

36
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>he's made it quite clear that he's he's not a

37
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.680
<v Speaker 2>fan of the one day sentence that was recommended by

38
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>the DJ for former l and PD officer Brett Hankerson

39
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.120
<v Speaker 2>for his role and what took place that of course

40
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 2>ultimately led to Breonna Taylor losing her life. So sentencing

41
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 2>is set for today, I believe it. One thirty so

42
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.480
<v Speaker 2>years of legal proceedings mistrials too along the way, the

43
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.560
<v Speaker 2>sentence is going to come down today. So what I

44
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.120
<v Speaker 2>think is important to note here is that just because

45
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 2>that's the recommended sentence doesn't necessarily mean that that's what's

46
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 2>going to happen here with Hankison. So typically the judge

47
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 2>will follow a DOJ recommendation, but this is just a

48
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 2>different case, and I think we all know that, right

49
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 2>this is spanning two presidential administrations and the climate being

50
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 2>different throughout this multi year process of closure, I guess

51
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 2>as far as just putting this thing in the rearview

52
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.240
<v Speaker 2>where he's no longer going to court and having these trials,

53
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 2>and it's just whatever the sentence is, it is. And

54
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't mean where you move on, meaning him clearly,

55
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:50.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure he wants to move on from this as well,

56
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 2>But I also think Louisville is a city you want

57
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>to you want to put this in the rear view,

58
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.639
<v Speaker 2>but also you've got to balance it with Okay, let's

59
00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 2>let's also see what we could have learned from that whole,

60
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>that whole situation, because certainly a lot to take from it.

61
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 2>So again Mary Greenberg has has been pretty clear that

62
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 2>he's he's not, you know, he's not he's not necessarily

63
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 2>in favor. And again that's probably putting it mildly when

64
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 2>it comes to just leniency that the DOJ appeared to

65
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.840
<v Speaker 2>show here by just the recommendation of one day sentence.

66
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 2>So again that doesn't the recommendation sentence is not it's

67
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.599
<v Speaker 2>not binding. So the federal judge they can choose to

68
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.560
<v Speaker 2>follow it, They can choose to reduce or increase the

69
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>sentence with federal sentencing guidelines, or they could disregard the

70
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>recommendation entirely, to be honest with you, So we shall see.

71
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>But coming up a little bit later on, we will

72
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 2>well know because I believe one thirty today is is

73
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.400
<v Speaker 2>when that's expected to uh to take place. And I'm

74
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.520
<v Speaker 2>sure we'll get you get you the latest right here

75
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 2>on news Radio eight forty whas also we talked about

76
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:01.360
<v Speaker 2>the CEO of a company that probably needs to change

77
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 2>their name. No astronomer, None of us have ever heard

78
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 2>of astronomer right well now, when we think of it,

79
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.599
<v Speaker 2>if we ever do. I mean, it's going to be

80
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.199
<v Speaker 2>because of this CEO, Andy Byron, who his life has

81
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 2>been changed in a drastic way in a matter of

82
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>what three or four days, And it is fascinating to

83
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.040
<v Speaker 2>me to see how stories like this just take off

84
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:23.079
<v Speaker 2>the way that they do.

85
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Right, It's it's I I think I was caught off

86
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 1>guard by that.

87
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.240
<v Speaker 3>I think you were talking with the Rory about seeing

88
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 3>all the different memes that were out there and the

89
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.639
<v Speaker 3>way and you mentioned the Savannah bananas. Even the Philadelphia

90
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.879
<v Speaker 3>Phillies had fun with it with their mascots, and you

91
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 3>know this guy, as you mentioned, his life is going

92
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:46.399
<v Speaker 3>to be changed forever as is hers. So it's I

93
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 3>did hear an interview over the weekend with a someone

94
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 3>who runs camera for at sporting events where they do

95
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 3>the kisscam thing, and they say what a challenge it

96
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 3>is to sometimes find folks to point on the camera,

97
00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:58.839
<v Speaker 3>and you know, for someone.

98
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>To pick these people out of a crowd.

99
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 3>And I'm a firm believer and a lot of stuff

100
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 3>happens for a reason, and there may have been some

101
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 3>underlying issues here now that he's going to be forced

102
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 3>to address he's resigned.

103
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I mean addressed with his family. I guess, yeah,

104
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 1>so what I mean, yeah?

105
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 3>And does this change him now as a person moving forward?

106
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.920
<v Speaker 3>And what becomes of these two as a couple now,

107
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 3>And it's it's a sad story and the fact that

108
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.680
<v Speaker 3>maybe it just doesn't work out for anybody, but it'd

109
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 3>end up.

110
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Being a Netflix documentary I think, right.

111
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.600
<v Speaker 2>And I don't really know how much range that this

112
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 2>story has moving forward, but there's no doubt that when

113
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 2>it comes to just you know, would I mean, these

114
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 2>these aren't necessarily every day average Joe's. This guy was

115
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.879
<v Speaker 2>a CEO of a huge company in Boston, so he's

116
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.079
<v Speaker 2>not just anybody. However, Man, the Internet can change your

117
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.560
<v Speaker 2>life really really quickly. Fact, and these two are great

118
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 2>examples of that. But he did resign as the CEO,

119
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.560
<v Speaker 2>and there was a fake release from the company Friday

120
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 2>that I just I can't believe. But then again, I

121
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 2>guess I shouldn't be surprised how many people just ran.

122
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>With it because it didn't.

123
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.360
<v Speaker 2>It looked legitimate, and you would expect a company to

124
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:09.600
<v Speaker 2>release a statement after they're getting all this attention from it.

125
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 2>But little things you got to pay attention to. And

126
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to act like I never get got

127
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>like other people it happens. But to use a to

128
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.560
<v Speaker 2>use a cold play lyric at the end of your statement,

129
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:23.800
<v Speaker 2>that to me's the giveaway that all right, this is

130
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.480
<v Speaker 2>not real, And sure enough it wasn't. But the company,

131
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 2>they've since released a statement and it includes that Andy

132
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Byron has has resigned and they're stressing leadership accountability. The

133
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 2>co founder that company, Pete de Joy, has stepped in

134
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:38.920
<v Speaker 2>as the interim CEO. So I would I would recommend

135
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 2>a name change because the brand uh. And again I'm

136
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:43.959
<v Speaker 2>not I'm not real familiar with their field and what

137
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.600
<v Speaker 2>it is they do and whatnot, but I would I

138
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.279
<v Speaker 2>would maybe look at rebranding a little bit because this

139
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 2>story is taken off for sure. All Right, we've got

140

<v Speaker 2>an update of trafficking whether coming your way, so stick around.

151
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 2>it's been quite clear that this is a real emphasis

152
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.879
<v Speaker 2>for President Trump and his second stint as the president,

153
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.800
<v Speaker 2>to get illegal immigrants out of the country, regardless of

154
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:41.639
<v Speaker 2>their situation, meaning that illegal, that's it, that's all the matters.

155
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.959
<v Speaker 2>You could be productive, you could be no danger to

156
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.839
<v Speaker 2>the community. You can maybe be somebody that is a

157
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:52.079
<v Speaker 2>productive citizen and whatnot, and it really just doesn't seem

158
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:53.879
<v Speaker 2>to matter. So the head of US Immigration and Customs

159
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Enforcements has made some news here with a bold new

160
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.519
<v Speaker 2>enforcement strategy. ICE Director Todd Lyne. He spoke on Sunday

161
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.480
<v Speaker 2>to face the nation, laying out a tougher approach. So

162
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>agents are going to arrest anyone found to be in

163
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 2>the United States illegally, no expectations. Now, these sweeps have

164
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.759
<v Speaker 2>been expanded across multiple states. It's not just the states

165
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.439
<v Speaker 2>of course, that have been featured more so than any

166
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.000
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to the news, just because of what's

167
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.040
<v Speaker 2>going on in Los Angeles and and and it's it's been,

168
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.120
<v Speaker 2>it's been everywhere. But I feel like you're going to

169
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 2>start to see maybe some some bigger stories coming from

170
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 2>these sweeps that aren't just in the you know, the

171
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.279
<v Speaker 2>areas you've heard about for the last few months, which,

172
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.039
<v Speaker 2>by the way, it's happening everywhere, including here in Kentucky.

173
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.159
<v Speaker 2>We can get in that maybe a little bit later on,

174
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.320
<v Speaker 2>as far as just some numbers that'll that'll get you

175
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:42.919
<v Speaker 2>to get you caught up, as far as how many

176
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.440
<v Speaker 2>people in Kentucky have been here illegally that have been

177
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.000
<v Speaker 2>that have been snatched up by ice and getting set

178
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:53.360
<v Speaker 2>to be deported. So also, this is another one that

179
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 2>I feel like is just a sign that and I'm

180
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.919
<v Speaker 2>not surprised this is. I think it's been clear at

181
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.879
<v Speaker 2>every turn how how much this this is going to

182
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:04.240
<v Speaker 2>be emphasized in presidents by President Trump. But if you

183
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:08.039
<v Speaker 2>are an employer hiring undocumented immigrants, you're now potentially going

184
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:10.879
<v Speaker 2>to find yourself in trouble as well. So lions warned

185
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.799
<v Speaker 2>of steep minds, possible jail time if you are caught

186
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.720
<v Speaker 2>hiring undocumented immigrants. So I mean, again, it's been a

187
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.960
<v Speaker 2>real thing for a while. For lack of a better word,

188
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.080
<v Speaker 2>and I imagine if you are here legally, regardless of

189
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.279
<v Speaker 2>your situation, you've probably been been anxious and scared, to

190
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.000
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you, but to know that this is

191
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.879
<v Speaker 2>just this is the emphasis. It doesn't matter anything about

192
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.600
<v Speaker 2>your situation. If you are here illegally, you're you know,

193
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.960
<v Speaker 2>we're coming for you. And also, I'm telling you the

194
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.919
<v Speaker 2>the the ICE getting access to all the data, all

195
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:46.759
<v Speaker 2>the information with medicaid medicare, I mean, that's giving them

196
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:51.440
<v Speaker 2>private information by every you know, millions of people. So

197
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.879
<v Speaker 2>it just gives them better access and resources to do

198
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.639
<v Speaker 2>what they want to do, which is to get everybody

199
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 2>out of this country that is not here illegally, regardless

200
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:02.440
<v Speaker 2>of their situation. And certain there are many that think

201
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:03.799
<v Speaker 2>this is the right way to do it and that

202
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.399
<v Speaker 2>things are great. There are many that, of course, think

203
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.679
<v Speaker 2>this is in humane and we shouldn't bother those that

204
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:12.759
<v Speaker 2>are not causing issues, and we shouldn't bother those that

205
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.159
<v Speaker 2>work in an industry that America really relies upon when

206
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.039
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the economy. So you're hearing both sides

207
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:19.399
<v Speaker 2>of it, certainly, But one thing you don't hear a

208
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:21.799
<v Speaker 2>whole lot about is that you know, there have been

209
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:25.679
<v Speaker 2>other prevident, other presidents that put in place, you know,

210
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:28.279
<v Speaker 2>things like this to get a ton of illegal immigrants

211
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:29.759
<v Speaker 2>out of the country. You just didn't get the same

212
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:32.840
<v Speaker 2>type of coverage because we weren't at war with each

213
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.759
<v Speaker 2>other like we are now. I mean, I think that's

214
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.360
<v Speaker 2>that's the reason. But just my thoughts, quick break, we'll

215
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.679
<v Speaker 2>come back. I'll remember it. But like if there was

216
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 2>a newspaper article that I'm reading and I'm holding it,

217
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 2>it just it's different. Maybe it's nostalgia. I'm not sure.

218
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.639
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, let's get let's get you caught up on

219
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.879
<v Speaker 2>the traffic and whether Bobby Ellis will tell us how

220
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 2>the roadways are looking here to get the Monday morning started. Also,

221
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:54.480
<v Speaker 2>we'll get Susanne Horrigan's forecast from WLKY as we keep

222
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.919
<v Speaker 2>this thing rolling along again. It is Kentucky and it's

223
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Morning News with Coffee and Company here on news radio

224
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:12.480
<v Speaker 2>eight forty w u h AS. It's Mike. It is

225
00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:16.320
<v Speaker 2>six forty eight here on a Monday morning. Happy Monday, Kentucky,

226
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.120
<v Speaker 2>and it is Kentucky and his Morning News with Coffee

227
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:21.039
<v Speaker 2>and Company here on news Radio eight forty w h

228
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.759
<v Speaker 2>AS so the CEO I guess I should say former

229
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:29.639
<v Speaker 2>CEO of a company that I could be wrong here.

230
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's just me not being familiar with what it

231
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.080
<v Speaker 2>is they do, but I do feel like this company

232
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:41.279
<v Speaker 2>and when people think of the name, which it's, it's

233
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:44.399
<v Speaker 2>already it's already escaping me as we speak.

234
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Let me pull it up here.

235
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:49.480
<v Speaker 2>So the company's name is Astronomer and their CEO, Andy Byron,

236
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:52.320
<v Speaker 2>is the guy who but's what's funny? And I'm getting

237
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.600
<v Speaker 2>sidetracked here. I bet there are people who have seen

238
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.639
<v Speaker 2>all the memes on their Facebook or really wherever they're

239
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 2>consuming content via social media that maybe don't.

240
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:04.759
<v Speaker 1>Even realize like what it is? Like what a second?

241
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Why do I keep seeing people recreating this same visual?

242
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, what's the context? And once you get curious,

243
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.080
<v Speaker 2>it's not hard to find out what it is because

244
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:17.559
<v Speaker 2>it's become such a big story. But he is now resigned,

245
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.559
<v Speaker 2>and I still stand by what I said on Friday.

246
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:21.919
<v Speaker 2>As this continues to be such a big story that

247
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:23.320
<v Speaker 2>so many people seem to just be.

248
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:25.879
<v Speaker 1>Enjoying.

249
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I guess I mean, I don't think I don't you

250
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.279
<v Speaker 2>enjoy people having h you know, having affairs, And I

251
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:32.519
<v Speaker 2>think we all know sort of what they can do

252
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.200
<v Speaker 2>to a family. But I guess all the layers here

253
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:38.399
<v Speaker 2>you've got karma because they got caught, You've got the

254
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:39.840
<v Speaker 2>in what I was going to say, as far as

255
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.440
<v Speaker 2>just sticking by what I said on Friday. Their reaction

256
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.559
<v Speaker 2>to it happening is the is why this became the story,

257
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:48.279
<v Speaker 2>because it was quite clear, so much so that the

258
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.399
<v Speaker 2>lead singer of cold Play had to make the joke

259
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.360
<v Speaker 2>that either they're not supposed to be together or they're

260
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.600
<v Speaker 2>really really shy, and then it just snowballed from there.

261
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.039
<v Speaker 2>H So it's it's the kind of summer story that

262
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:02.000
<v Speaker 2>can take off. And I I really this weekend was

263
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:04.480
<v Speaker 2>you saw it from start to finish. As far as

264
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.080
<v Speaker 2>just the Internet doing its thing, Minor League Baseball, major

265
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.200
<v Speaker 2>League Baseball, the Savannah Bananas, there are other sporting events

266
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:11.759
<v Speaker 2>going on. I'm sure they would have taken advantage of

267
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:14.320
<v Speaker 2>it as well to just play into it and have

268
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:16.919
<v Speaker 2>some fun with it. But we're also having fun at

269
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:20.519
<v Speaker 2>a story that is clearly going to not just negatively

270
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:23.759
<v Speaker 2>impact the life of the two here that are I mean,

271
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.120
<v Speaker 2>the woman was not married, she was divorced recently. It

272
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.559
<v Speaker 2>sounds like and again, I'm not even sure what's real

273
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.879
<v Speaker 2>and what's not. I think again, I've read a couple

274
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:33.399
<v Speaker 2>of different things about her, and I don't I don't

275
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.519
<v Speaker 2>know what's real or not. But nonetheless, he was married

276
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.440
<v Speaker 2>and now probably will not be, depending upon what his

277
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:42.120
<v Speaker 2>wife wants to do. So I don't think anybody feel

278
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:44.440
<v Speaker 2>sorry for this guy. But clearly, you know, if you're

279
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:47.120
<v Speaker 2>if that's your dad or your you know, your uncle,

280
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:49.039
<v Speaker 2>or your son or your brother, whatever it may be,

281
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:53.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you feel for him because you know he's human.

282
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:58.000
<v Speaker 2>But also, I mean, the family could be broken up,

283
00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:59.879
<v Speaker 2>and that's a tough thing for anybody to deal with.

284
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.799
<v Speaker 3>I think, you know, how much pub do you think

285
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.879
<v Speaker 3>astronomers gotten out of this? How do you you think

286
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:07.919
<v Speaker 3>their website is spiked people going to find out what

287
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:08.840
<v Speaker 3>astronomer does?

288
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, But also it's you know, is there? Yeah?

289
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Is their truth to any publicity is good publicity because

290
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:19.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this guy's resigned, therefore they've moved on from it.

291
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:22.320
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, just a it's gonna be one of those

292
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.320
<v Speaker 2>examples that I think, even though I just mentioned some

293
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.519
<v Speaker 2>of the layers here that make it so interesting to people,

294
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:30.559
<v Speaker 2>I still just it's still wild to me how it

295
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 2>became such a big deal. But that's that's what the

296
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Internet can do. The Internet is powerful like that, and

297
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:39.440
<v Speaker 2>that's a good example of it. All Right, let's get

298
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:41.519
