Speaker 1: So far, I'm in the clear as far as being
Speaker 1: labeled a porch pirate if you missed it. I ended
Speaker 1: up ordering something on eBay for the first time in years,
Speaker 1: and then later realized, uh, oh, my address was my
Speaker 1: old address. So thankfully the people who live in the
Speaker 1: house now, their family's still there, the same people we
Speaker 1: sold it to still live there, and I still know
Speaker 1: that the gentleman who lives there now, and I reached
Speaker 1: out to him and he's been great. Let him know
Speaker 1: that this is probably one of a few packages that
Speaker 1: are going to be coming and sorry, I'll get my
Speaker 1: address changed, but is there any way I could, you know,
Speaker 1: come bine and get these things that they're going to
Speaker 1: be delivered to your house because of the address issue.
Speaker 1: And he was totally cool that, yeah, no problem, no
Speaker 1: big deal. He would let me know. Hey left it
Speaker 1: on the porch and this morning at about four o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning. In fact, actually it was more closer
Speaker 1: to three thirty now that I think about it. I
Speaker 1: ended up making my way to where I used to live,
Speaker 1: the old neighborhood, and without really thinking, I'm kind of
Speaker 1: in a hurry, not really out of my way, but
Speaker 1: an added stop. So I stopped right in front of
Speaker 1: the house, didn't even turn my car off, opened the
Speaker 1: door middle of the street, ran up to the front porch,
Speaker 1: grabbed the box, and ran back. And then as soon
Speaker 1: as I was getting on sixty five, I thought, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no scenario that that looks good. If somebody's ring
Speaker 1: doorbell camera was activated in on, they're just gonna they're
Speaker 1: gonna see that, and I would do the same thing.
Speaker 1: They're gonna see it and say, that's somebody out here
Speaker 1: stealing people's packages. And I'm hopeful that it doesn't turn
Speaker 1: into a big deal on the Facebook group, which that's
Speaker 1: a part I should.
Speaker 2: Have maybe led with that.
Speaker 1: I don't live there anymore, but I can't leave the
Speaker 1: Facebook group of my old neighborhood because the drama is
Speaker 1: just so entertaining. And it's actually been pretty light lately.
Speaker 1: Used to be a lot more drama, but maybe this
Speaker 1: is what gets people riled up. We got a porch
Speaker 1: pirate and we got to hold them accountable. And I'm
Speaker 1: hopeful that that doesn't happen. But if it does, that
Speaker 1: the people who live there now will will come to
Speaker 1: my defense and say, hey, it's not what it looks like,
Speaker 1: but we shall see, all right. So the measles, Yeah, pikes,
Speaker 1: we now know of one case here in Louisville of
Speaker 1: the measles.
Speaker 2: It was reported earlier this week. Mayor Greenberg did later.
Speaker 1: Confirm that it is a young man and he was
Speaker 1: traveling internationally recently with his family, and that, of course
Speaker 1: is where he's believed to have picked up the measles.
Speaker 1: So the infected child visited the little clinic inside Kroger
Speaker 1: on Dixie Highway on Wednesday, July ninth, from nine to
Speaker 1: fifteen to noon. So anybody at that location during that
Speaker 1: window may have been exposed. So the Louisville Metro Department
Speaker 1: of Public Health and Wellness they're actively contact tracing, which
Speaker 1: is what you do here. They're notifying those that were
Speaker 1: potentially exposed. And I mean, if I was there at
Speaker 1: that time, I'd be worried because, I mean, again, without
Speaker 1: even knowing a whole lot about what the measles actually is, which,
Speaker 1: to be honest, I admitted this yesterday. I mean, I
Speaker 1: know that we are vaccinated for that and that it's
Speaker 1: a real serious thing, but I didn't really know a
Speaker 1: whole lot about it other than that and more often
Speaker 1: for the most part, that could be either chalked up
Speaker 1: to me just being ignorant, or it could be the
Speaker 1: fact that it's not really been a threat, because again,
Speaker 1: it's not been a widespread issue in America really ever,
Speaker 1: and certainly there are now in twenty twenty five, there
Speaker 1: have been three deaths with the measles. And not to
Speaker 1: take make light of just three deaths, any deaths something
Speaker 1: you don't want. But this is a rare thing to happen.
Speaker 1: But when it does happen, there's a lot of awareness
Speaker 1: about it because of just how dangerous it is. And
Speaker 1: I mean it is highly infectious, which again is why
Speaker 1: you know, when you've got a what is it, ninety
Speaker 1: percent of people that are that are not vaccinated for
Speaker 1: it that end.
Speaker 2: Up exposed to it, we'll get it.
Speaker 1: So again, if you were at the Dixie Highway little
Speaker 1: Clinic inside Kroger on Wednesday, July ninth, from nine to
Speaker 1: fifteen am to noon, be advised. You mean, I don't
Speaker 1: really know what you do other than go get you know,
Speaker 1: I guess, just go get checked out. But I already
Speaker 1: know if it was me, I would not even if
Speaker 1: I had no symptoms at all, I would, in my
Speaker 1: mind convince myself, oh here we got better say my
Speaker 1: last good bias, because I have the measles.
Speaker 2: I'm starting to feel starting to feel like.
Speaker 1: I've got you know, is that a fever, little dehydration
Speaker 1: would turn into me thinking I got one hundred and
Speaker 1: three degree fever.
Speaker 2: Running knows that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: So it says that a rational also appears three to
Speaker 1: five days after your symptoms begin. So if you are symptomatic,
Speaker 1: they tell you to call your doctor before visiting and
Speaker 1: to avoid further spread. So again, just be mindful of that.
Speaker 1: All right, What I want to do coming up here
Speaker 1: in just a few minutes, I'll reset the Shane Gillis
Speaker 1: performance last night as he hosted The Spies, and I
Speaker 1: didn't watch a second of it live, and I don't
Speaker 1: even know who won a single award, but clearly a
Speaker 1: lot of his jokes.
Speaker 2: Have made their way to the internet.
Speaker 1: And I'm maybe this is wishful thinking on my own,
Speaker 1: but I do think as a society we have thankfully
Speaker 1: grown fatigued of just being outraged about things that truly
Speaker 1: don't bother or that many people. Certain people may be
Speaker 1: more more genuinely bothered by certain things that are said,
Speaker 1: which is understandable, but also, it's comedy, it's entertainment. Can
Speaker 1: we not take ourselves so seriously? And I'm willing to.
Speaker 1: I believe that this will play out to where there's
Speaker 1: no cancelation of Shane Gillis and we just go back
Speaker 1: to realizing, yeah, sometimes comedians are going to tell that line,
Speaker 1: and maybe they cross it more often than they should,
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, it's it's not real.
Speaker 1: It's comedy, it's entertainment. So we'll get into that. And
Speaker 1: also one of the recent bills here in Kentucky, they're
Speaker 1: already realizing they got to make some changes. That is
Speaker 1: the bill that requires coaches teachers to not have any
Speaker 1: contact with students. So again no surprise, Like any bill
Speaker 1: like this, any big change like this, you're going to
Speaker 1: realize quickly that, yeah, we're gonna have to make some
Speaker 1: adjustments here. So we'll talk about that and a lot more.
Speaker 1: It is Kentucky and is morning News with Coffee and
Speaker 1: Company right here on News Radio eight forty WHS. We
Speaker 1: are just a couple of minutes away from your next
Speaker 1: check on traffic and weather, so stick around for that.
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of you are getting your day
Speaker 1: started and you want to know what it looks like
Speaker 1: out there on the roadways. And luckily for you, we've
Speaker 1: got Bobby Ellis who will give us all that important info.
Speaker 1: Also will get the latest on the forecast with Matt Melosovich.
Speaker 1: So the one of the new bills here in the
Speaker 1: state of Kentucky was was very noticeable by those that
Speaker 1: are in the education, in education meaning teachers, coaches, or
Speaker 1: even if you are the parent of a student, or
Speaker 1: if you're an athlete yourself, because it's for a lot
Speaker 1: of folks it won't even be noticed. But those that
Speaker 1: are impacted by this, it's a big, big change, and
Speaker 1: that is that your high school coach is no longer
Speaker 1: allowed to communicate with you directly outside of school. And
Speaker 1: even you you know your teacher as well, but I
Speaker 1: would I would say that if there is contact going
Speaker 1: on between teacher and student outside of the classroom, I
Speaker 1: would say more more often than not, that is the
Speaker 1: That is coaches who who coach high school kids and
Speaker 1: need to communicate with their team.
Speaker 2: So now you you.
Speaker 1: You know you can't do that, and obviously that's that's
Speaker 1: that's a that's that's an adjustment. So it's sentate Bill
Speaker 1: one eighty one. And what this does is it requires
Speaker 1: traceable communication only. No private texts, no DMS, no unmonitored messages.
Speaker 1: Players cannot take, you know, coaches can't call or text
Speaker 1: their players directly. They can't even tag them or be
Speaker 1: friends with them on any social media platform. So this,
Speaker 1: of course is because there were more bad apples than
Speaker 1: there ever should be, which there should never be any
Speaker 1: bad apples. But obviously, with the way in which you
Speaker 1: can communicate with anybody this day and age, teachers would
Speaker 1: get it. You would become close with students and of
Speaker 1: course cross the line that you can't cross, and that's
Speaker 1: led to the state putting this this in place. So
Speaker 1: JCPS implemented the rules starting June sixteenth, so staff and
Speaker 1: volunteers can no longer text or probably message any of
Speaker 1: their students. So the communication now has to go through parents, guardians,
Speaker 1: or officials or i'm sorry, official JCPS channels like an
Speaker 1: email that they set up. So what we now know
Speaker 1: is that they're going to make some adjustments, and I
Speaker 1: don't know what that is, but there is acknowledgment that
Speaker 1: there's clearly some flaws, and it sounds like there'll be
Speaker 1: an update to this exact situation in twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: to clarify some things and probably loosen it a little
Speaker 1: bit to where because again, not being able to communicate
Speaker 1: with your players other than just calling their parents or
Speaker 1: posting on a forum that their parents are a part
Speaker 1: of I mean, that's a level of communication, but that's
Speaker 1: that's archaic this day and age. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: an update out there on the roadways with Bobby Ellis.
Speaker 1: Also we'll get an update on the forecast with that Melosavich,
Speaker 1: and then it's got to be back with another sports
Speaker 1: update for us right here on New's Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, John Shannon for those that are
Speaker 1: that are just now joining us. In fact, anybody if
Speaker 1: you've been with this since the beginning of today or
Speaker 1: just now, I guess I haven't said it yet. I'll
Speaker 1: be out at seven o'clock today, so I'm a part timer,
Speaker 1: but you're gonna be in good hands with the crew here.
Speaker 1: John Shannon of course, will continue to do what he
Speaker 1: does with the newscast like you just heard, and of
Speaker 1: course we have Scott Fitzgerald and John Alden running the
Speaker 1: show the rest of the way. So I referenced earlier
Speaker 1: a Wally pip situation which I knew of. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've heard that since the time I think I was
Speaker 1: in high school, and a yeah, I can it's coming
Speaker 1: back to me. So I missed one basketball game ever
Speaker 1: in my high school days of playing, and it was
Speaker 1: not because of an injury that people typically suffer. It
Speaker 1: was because I had an ingrown toenail, and at the time,
Speaker 1: I mean, I was in a lot of pain. I
Speaker 1: had to have not really an operation, but like I
Speaker 1: couldn't play and I was dealing with pain leading up
Speaker 1: to it. Long story short, there was no sensitivity towards
Speaker 1: my injury, which I get it.
Speaker 3: It's a toe.
Speaker 1: But if you ever had any grown toenail that you
Speaker 1: know that like that's that's that's not something that can
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure some situations are worse than others,
Speaker 1: but like it can really really really hurt you and
Speaker 1: make it to where you have to actually have like
Speaker 1: an operation, which I didn't have to have it. Anyways,
Speaker 1: my coach made a joke about getting Wally pipped, and
Speaker 1: I didn't know what it was at the time. And
Speaker 1: I referenced that earlier. When I'm out of here, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get Wally Pip because the company man John Alden
Speaker 1: and Scott Fitzgerald and John Shannon are going to steal
Speaker 1: the show and I'm not going to be needed, which
Speaker 1: I hope is not the case, but I guess we'll see.
Speaker 2: But lou Garrick one of.
Speaker 1: The best baseball players of all time. It's related to
Speaker 1: him because Wally Pip was the guy and he had
Speaker 1: a headache and decided to take the day off, and
Speaker 1: then they that emerged lu Garirig, who of course went
Speaker 1: on to become Luke Garrick. So that was that's the
Speaker 1: explanation there. Who And again, John, that's one of those
Speaker 1: things that totally makes sense that you would not know
Speaker 1: what that is.
Speaker 3: I could want to ask.
Speaker 1: Yes, anyways, that's the explanation there. So, yeah, that was
Speaker 1: in the thirties, I think it was, so yeah, long, long,
Speaker 1: long ago.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: So we talked a little bit earlier with Rory O'Neil
Speaker 1: and he gave us the latest as far as the
Speaker 1: survey that really checks the temperature of Americans when it
Speaker 1: comes to how the president is handling things. And there's
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on that I'm sure people
Speaker 1: have some genuine reaction to, but the Epstein files, that
Speaker 1: is one that I'm sure what I see on social
Speaker 1: media is absolutely.
Speaker 2: It doesn't represent how everybody feels.
Speaker 1: In fact, I need to remind myself of that it
Speaker 1: more often because a lot of people just don't get
Speaker 1: caught up in that because they just I mean, what
Speaker 1: are they what are they going to do to change it?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's one thing to demand and expect transparency
Speaker 1: on certain things, and I don't think anybody out there
Speaker 1: would with a straight face, would say that they encourage
Speaker 1: that we protect people who harm children. But I can
Speaker 1: relate to those that live in a world where they
Speaker 1: deal with everything that comes their way, with the stress
Speaker 1: that they have at work, the responsibility they have with children,
Speaker 1: and then just the realization that, like, what am I
Speaker 1: going to do to change it?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: So that may be frowned upon to share that on
Speaker 1: a platform like this, but I'm just just being real
Speaker 1: with you. So I'm sure there's many that keep up
Speaker 1: with it a little bit, but they're not letting it
Speaker 1: consume them because what would they what good would they
Speaker 1: get out of that. But the people who are into
Speaker 1: it are really really into it, and they're they're frustrated
Speaker 1: with Trump as far as just how we now no
Speaker 1: longer are going to get transparency when that was the
Speaker 1: expectation for a long long time. And maybe it's not that, hey,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get transparency. He's not just saying hey,
Speaker 1: move on, nothing to see here. And it's one thing
Speaker 1: for those who just want to see Trump crumble, clearly
Speaker 1: they're going to get worked up because it's true were
Speaker 1: the where was the noise from those people whenever we
Speaker 1: were demanding to get transparency and the files to be
Speaker 1: released when the previous administration was in office. That's another
Speaker 1: one of the many examples of how both sides really
Speaker 1: do the same thing a lot of times and just
Speaker 1: don't realize it. But anyhow, what makes this I think
Speaker 1: such a bad look for Trump? And really, for the
Speaker 1: first time that I can tell, he's getting a lot
Speaker 1: of criticism and there's a lot of folks disappointed in him,
Speaker 1: that love him, some that you know, even make him
Speaker 1: a big part of their personality. But eighty three percent
Speaker 1: of Republican voters say the Epstein files should be released
Speaker 1: and clearly it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
Speaker 1: And I think because Trump and really those around him,
Speaker 1: this was a big part of the noise from them
Speaker 1: as far as making a change and wanting to be
Speaker 1: back in office.
Speaker 2: And I think.
Speaker 1: Regardless of what was said prior by Trump and jd Vance,
Speaker 1: even saying you know, we're going to release the files,
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, even if none of that was said,
Speaker 1: this would still be something that people would have a
Speaker 1: reaction to. That's like, what the heck, Like, what do
Speaker 1: you mean? This makes no sense. You're telling me there's
Speaker 1: nothing to see here, nothing at all.
Speaker 2: It's a hoax.
Speaker 1: But I just think that the issue for Trump that
Speaker 1: he clearly doesn't care about, because he's now saying that
Speaker 1: Republicans who are bothered by their idiots, there's still But.
Speaker 2: So anyways, the fact that.
Speaker 1: There's already been a lot of fuel for those that
Speaker 1: want to speculate, that want to you know, want to
Speaker 1: make this a thing to where it's clearly a conspiracy,
Speaker 1: there's been nothing that that makes them not continue to
Speaker 1: be fueled by there's just there's there's you know, there's
Speaker 1: there's something not adding up here. I mean, this was
Speaker 1: This was Donald Trump years ago talking about something that
Speaker 1: he now calls a hoax when it comes to the
Speaker 1: Epstein stuff. And John, you can leave the music run
Speaker 1: and if you'd like, this should play over that.
Speaker 3: Uh Bill Clinton, nice guy. Got a lot of problems
Speaker 3: coming up, in my opinion, with the famous island with
Speaker 3: Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2: Nasty.
Speaker 3: You raised the question of Jeffrey Epstein in your remarks event,
Speaker 3: and I think you've got a problem. The problem will
Speaker 3: I I don't know, but that island was really assessful.
Speaker 1: There's no question about it.
Speaker 3: Just ask Prince Andrew.
Speaker 1: He'll tell you about it.
Speaker 3: The island it was an absolute cess pool.
Speaker 1: So it was a cesspool or it was a hoax.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess he could always say, well he
Speaker 1: later learned that it was a hoax, but.
Speaker 2: Nobody's believing that.
Speaker 1: And I'm not even insinuating any specific thing here. I'm
Speaker 1: not alleging anything. I just know that none of this
Speaker 1: is actually adding up and making sense. And there's been
Speaker 1: a clear change in what you wanted to do with
Speaker 1: this entire Epstein situation, and that's just going to make
Speaker 1: people question, Well, somebody's covering up something, all right, let's
Speaker 1: get an update on trafficking weather right here, right now
Speaker 1: on news radio a forty w BHS. It is Kentucky
Speaker 1: and it's Morning News with Coffee and Company here on
Speaker 1: news Radio eight forty whas Nick Coffee, that's me. I
Speaker 1: mean I butchered that last weather, didn't I. I mean,
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta own it. I don't know why
Speaker 1: I kept getting confused on the I kept saying tonight,
Speaker 1: and I'd already let you know that tonight's conditions are
Speaker 1: going to be low's in the seventies and we could
Speaker 1: have some rain. But anyways, I'll be out of here,
Speaker 1: coming up in about twelve minutes time, and I'll hand
Speaker 1: it off to Scott, John and John and you'll be
Speaker 1: in good hands. And I know Scott is planning on
Speaker 1: playing a little more of the Shane Gillis sound from
Speaker 1: last night, just because he had a lot of good jokes.
Speaker 1: I thought, and I there's no way to prove this.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is just what I believe. But the fatigue
Speaker 1: has set in as far as just people not having
Speaker 1: the energy needed to manufacture fake rage and fake anger.
Speaker 1: And that's not to say that if you are genuinely
Speaker 1: bothered by that, I'm calling you a liar. I just
Speaker 1: I think we at some point it just turned into where, Okay,
Speaker 1: what are you mad about? All Right'm gonna get MADT
Speaker 1: to you, Well, what are we mad about? Let's get mad,
Speaker 1: let's get let's get angry. And I mean, free country,
Speaker 1: you can do that. But I just, I just I
Speaker 1: think most people live their life to where they have
Speaker 1: enough going on to where did it did the thought
Speaker 1: of something that doesn't really impact you or affect you
Speaker 1: in any way, like.
Speaker 2: Why would you get well? Why would it consume you?
Speaker 1: Like that? So again, I like to live in a
Speaker 1: world where I constantly remind myself that multiple things can
Speaker 1: be true. There are things that would be offensive to
Speaker 1: some because of their specific situation, and they may just
Speaker 1: be sensitive people in general. But then there's also things
Speaker 1: that you know, yeah, that's you know, that's funny, that's
Speaker 1: that's that's I could see how maybe somebody would be
Speaker 1: bothered by that, But it's entertainment. It's not real. It's comedy.
Speaker 1: And there are comedians who are legends and will always
Speaker 1: be that really would have never been able to establish
Speaker 1: themselves in their careers and entertain us the way that
Speaker 1: they did if they were coming up in that business,
Speaker 1: in that industry at a certain time when we were
Speaker 1: so pc And again, everybody just had fake outrage. And
Speaker 1: again I think you can say there's fake outrage out
Speaker 1: there without acting like everyone is lying that they're bothered
Speaker 1: by it. So again, both things there can be true.
Speaker 1: Are you a Shane Gillis fan, John.
Speaker 3: I'm not a fan in the sense that I like
Speaker 3: listen to everything that he does, like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Same here.
Speaker 1: I was really impressed with his show Tires that was
Speaker 1: on Netflix.
Speaker 3: I just thought, I'm not seeing that, but I think
Speaker 3: it looks funny just from four.
Speaker 1: It's well done, and I haven't seen the second season,
Speaker 1: but a lot of people said that it's actually better
Speaker 1: in season two. So yeah, he's He's somebody that initially
Speaker 1: I didn't quite get as far as why he was
Speaker 1: so popular, but now I do same thing with Theovon.
Speaker 1: Never understood why Theovon was was such a big name,
Speaker 1: and then I started to consume a lot of his stuff,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this guy's I mean, I think.
Speaker 3: That is somebody I do seek yeah, yeah, And and.
Speaker 1: I guess it's just our sense of humor everybody likes
Speaker 1: what they like, but theolon to some people, it's like
Speaker 1: this guy stupid, but I don't get it, and I
Speaker 1: will laugh uncontrollably at certain things he says, just because
Speaker 1: again he's right there in my wheelhouses, but as far
Speaker 1: as what I found funny. So all right, we've got
Speaker 1: another update of Trapping the Weather coming your way. Also,
Speaker 1: we'll hit another sports update in about four minutes. Right
Speaker 1: here on, there's ready to wait forty whas
