WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.000 Good Monday morning. It is Kentucky and is Morning News 2 00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:07.120 Coffee and Company here on a Monday morning, six o'clock, 3 00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:09.839 six oh five, to be exact. And if you are 4 00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:13.480 somebody that is that is wondering, is this heat ever 5 00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:17.440 gonna go away? Eventually? But not not anytime super soon, 6 00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:21.559 because the heat wave is here and it's it's gross outside. 7 00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.960 In fact, today's one of those days where and really today, 8 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:28.600 tomorrow and Wednesday, I feel like if you don't have 9 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.839 to walk outside, don't. I don't know how many people 10 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:35.399 can can actually not leave their house at all, and 11 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:37.600 that would be I mean I wouldn't. That wouldn't be enjoyable. 12 00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.119 I would get I'd get a little stir crazy. But 13 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.479 maybe walking out for five seconds would make me realize, yeah, 14 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:45.640 I'm going to go back inside where it's not you know, 15 00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.840 disgusting outside, which that's that's exactly what it is. But again, 16 00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:51.600 it is Kentucky and it's Morning News Coffee and Company, 17 00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.000 Nit coffee, that's me. John Alden is back after a 18 00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.280 nice staycation. Certainly happy to have him back. I mean 19 00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:00.960 the heat right now, We've got a high of ninety 20 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.040 four today, and the heat in decks could get up 21 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.640 to one hundred and six this afternoon, and then tomorrow 22 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.239 and Wednesday even hotter, with high is expected to be 23 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.599 around ninety six. And of course the heat in deck's 24 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.159 going to be brutal just as well. So we've got 25 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.359 a few isolated downpours. I guess that could happen today 26 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.439 and maybe that'll briefly cool some things off, but I 27 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.640 don't know, maybe not. But the relief that is in 28 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.680 sight is later this week as a cold front, which, 29 00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:30.840 by the way, give us like eighty nine and that 30 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.640 would be considered a cold front, right. But yes, later 31 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:36.439 this week we're going to have temperatures in the eighties 32 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:42.200 and most importantly, we will have lower humidity. So again, 33 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.680 be prepared because it's disgusting outside. Have you had any 34 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:48.680 moment is there anything that stands out to you, John 35 00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.200 when you think of like the hottest you've ever been? 36 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.319 And I don't mean just like because you were outside 37 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.879 for six straight hours, but just like a moment that 38 00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.439 sticks with you where you think, Okay, this may in 39 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.719 fact be the hottest that I've ever the hottest temperatures 40 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:03.640 I've ever been in my life. 41 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:05.519 The first thing that comes to mind for me is 42 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.480 back when I was in high school, we'd have summer 43 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.360 soccer training of course this time of year, and whenever 44 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.919 you're getting in shape for the upcoming season, there is 45 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.000 nothing worse. I mean, you feel good whenever you start 46 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:17.879 all the running and you know, you get that runners high, 47 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.719 that sort of thing. But whenever you you initially feel 48 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.479 that sweat and you're not quite in shape yet, that 49 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:24.639 is some of the worst. 50 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:26.919 And it's and it's I mean to me, what really 51 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.439 could take that type of situation right getting ready for 52 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.360 soccer with conditioning, what could make I mean, it's hard 53 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.919 work anyway, but the humidity is just a game changer. 54 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.840 It makes it even it makes it even worse. So yeah, 55 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.960 I can't For me, I just remember, I remember, and 56 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:44.879 I always go back to that the time when I 57 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.840 didn't have air conditioning in my car. That just to me, 58 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.039 every hot summer day was the same and it was brutal. 59 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.639 But uh, I mean, right now, we're not going to 60 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:55.240 get there. I don't think as far as just like 61 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.159 record breaking heat. But I did a little bit of 62 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.719 a of a look as far as just history as 63 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.120 far as the hot the worst heat waves we've had 64 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.759 in Louisville history, and the worst of them came in 65 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.039 like the thirties. There was one that was remembered for 66 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.319 quite I mean this was in thirty six. Obviously think 67 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.560 about this. Life was a lot different. But that year, 68 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.800 not just in Louisville, but nationally, there were about five 69 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.000 thousand people that were killed because of a heat wave. 70 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:23.960 And again that was nineteen thirty six. We're talking about 71 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.879 roughly one hundred years ago. But in the summer of 72 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:30.319 eighty that was a real struggle with the heat here 73 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.520 in Louisville. And then I don't remember this, but this 74 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:36.400 is somewhat recent. In twenty twenty two got it got 75 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:40.039 up to one hundred and ten degrees in Louisville, which 76 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:44.840 that to me sounds like we'd remember that. But look, 77 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:46.560 it wouldn't be on the internet if it wasn't true. 78 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.759 Right, these temperatures, it always makes me wonder when people 79 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.520 say they're excited for summer, like, I know, you're not 80 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:53.599 excited for the humidity. 81 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.599 There's no way that people enjoy this in any way, 82 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:56.120 shape and. 83 00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:00.280 But thank you, because I hear people, and yes I 84 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.039 complain more about weather in humidity than the average Probably 85 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.800 I don't know, because I'm just real big on being comfortable, 86 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.719 and you know, comfort control is something that we do, 87 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.520 actually a lot of us have access to, so I'm 88 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:13.280 gonna utilize it. What I mean by that is I 89 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.120 could control being cool in the summer by being indoors 90 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.360 in ac and I can control being warm in the 91 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:21.000 winter when it's cold outside. So when I don't have that, 92 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.000 it just I get, you know, I get, I get moody. 93 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:27.199 But when I'm met with, oh, this is great, I mean. 94 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.600 No, you're a liar. I don't believe you. I never 95 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.079 will that you enjoy what is? What is? 96 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.160 I mean, do you enjoy basically being you know, a 97 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:38.920 crouton and a bowl of soup? Like that's what this is. 98 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.079 It's just thick, it's gross, and look, it could be 99 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:42.839 it could be worse. 100 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:43.120 Right. 101 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:44.800 In fact, we'll talk about that coming up on the 102 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.399 other side, because in the Midwest they're dealing with something 103 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.959 that I did not realize was a thing, and it's 104 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.240 called corn sweat. And I'll explain what corn sweat is 105 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.319 coming up here in just a few minutes. But yes, 106 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.240 others can deal with it better than me. Certainly, I 107 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:03.800 know that, And I'm sure what maybe keeps you optimistic 108 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.360 and feeling good about this weather is because maybe you 109 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.040 hate winners so much that you can think to yourself, well, 110 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.800 at least it's not five degrees outside. So everybody's got 111 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.240 their own preferences. But I'm calling you a liar if 112 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.360 you're out and about in this heat wave over these 113 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.759 next few days and you say, you say, oh, this 114 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:22.199 is great, this is beautiful. No it's not. It's disgusting. 115 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.800 And I mean, I don't know how you can be 116 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.120 outside for a brief amount of time in this heat 117 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.319 and not have swamp ass. I mean it's swamp ass 118 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:34.279 season in full effect. 119 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:34.680 Folks. 120 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.759 Just be mindful out there, be advised. All right, we 121 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:39.519 got an update of traving a weather coming your way. 122 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:41.560 I don't know if Matt Mellosa is going to include 123 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.639 swamp ass in the forecast, but if he doesn't, just 124 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.839 know I'm doing it for him because he's professional, unlike me. 125 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.240 We've got to also check on traffic. I didn't get 126 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:52.439 the chance to see it, but it looks as if 127 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.680 there's some delays already to get us started here on 128 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.240 a Monday, so typical Monday, right, But again, you'll get 129 00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.560 an update on traving a weather and we'll talk about 130 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.519 corn swa on the other side right here on news 131 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.560 radio eight forty w h AS. I'll be honest with you, 132 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.959 I'd never heard of corn sweat, but apparently it is. 133 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.120 It is a real thing, and it is intensifying the 134 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:16.000 Midwest heat wave. So think think states like Illinois, Indiana, 135 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.199 and Ohio. They're they're going through a heat wave right now. 136 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.160 Because it's it's not just I mean, it's everywhere. It 137 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.680 spans from the heat advisory spans from Texas to Maine. 138 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.720 So that's just that's that's that's what happens in the 139 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:28.680 summer sometimes. 140 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.000 But corn sweat, John, have you ever heard of corn sweat? 141 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:32.839 I've not heard of that. 142 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:34.959 Well, you're a Hoosier, so if you haven't heard of it, 143 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.839 I don't feel as bad. But it's he doesn't live 144 00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:40.120 in Indiana, but he's in Indiana, Hoosier, he's a Indiana fans. 145 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.639 So just just to clarify. 146 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.399 But when it comes to corn sweat, it's the nickname 147 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:50.040 for evappo transpiration. It's the process where plants pull water 148 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.160 from the soil and release it into the air, increasing 149 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.160 local humidity. So it says the corn is extremely efficient 150 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.519 at release releasing moisture. An acre of corn can release 151 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.720 three to four thousand gallons of water per day into 152 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:08.040 the atmosphere, especially after rain. So they're dealing with humidity 153 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.959 based off of the corn that makes it even worse 154 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:17.040 than typical humidity, which really sucks overall. Which here's a story. 155 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.800 This is from I believe, Yeah, this is from w 156 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.240 A n D News giving a little bit of an 157 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.199 explanation that, yeah, the corn sweats are a real thing. 158 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.720 Hot and human all week and all the corn in 159 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.160 central Oil is sweating with you. 160 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.720 Wnd's been Naki shares the real impact corn sweat can 161 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.959 have on the weather. You walk outside and the sweat 162 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.639 starts dripping down your face, and the sweat's dripping off 163 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:45.439 the side of corn too. That corn sweat, it actually 164 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.079 adds to the humidity that you're feeling every time you 165 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:48.920 walk outside. 166 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:50.800 And it is just a little bit of water, But 167 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.399 when you multiply that by the leaf area, right you 168 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.199 think about this time of the year in central Illinois, 169 00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.480 when you add all of that up, it can actually 170 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.040 make for quite a lot of water that's being transferred 171 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.920 from the ground to the atmosphere and the form of humidity. 172 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:08.040 Trent Ford is a state climatologist with the University of Illinois. 173 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:11.040 He says, while it may be annoying for us, the 174 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.399 sweat is actually a good thing for the corn. 175 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.519 The fact that we are getting corn sweat and the 176 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.959 fact that it is transpiring suggests that we have, at 177 00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.560 least in most places, a pretty healthy crop out there 178 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.920 and abundant soil moisture for that that crop to pull 179 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:25.720 in that water from. 180 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.560 So I guess it's good for the corn. But do 181 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:30.399 people who live in that area. I'm sure if you 182 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.799 are dependent upon the corn growing and you know that's 183 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:36.440 part of how you you know your your farm is successful, 184 00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:38.840 then it makes total sense. But man, there's something just 185 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.320 gross about the words together, corn sweat. When I think 186 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.159 of enjoying corn, rather it be corn on the cob 187 00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.360 or corn as a sibe with dinner, I don't want 188 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:47.600 to think about it sweating, But. 189 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:49.120 I can think about any of my food sweat. 190 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:50.480 Yeah this sounds gross in general. 191 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.799 Yeah, sweat is gross in general. You are right, But yeah, 192 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.159 food sweat. It's uh, it's so anyways, it. 193 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:56.919 Could be worse, folks. 194 00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:59.080 We've got humidity here that sucks at a at a 195 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:02.279 really high rate. But I guess it could be worse 196 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:04.720 if we had, you know, And I'm sure cornsweat is 197 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.159 a thing at certain places in Kentucky. But yeah, not 198 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:10.000 something i'd heard of. But that's the kind of heat 199 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.639 wave we're under. We'll hear about it. We'll hear different 200 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:14.960 ways in which it affects people out there. So let's 201 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:17.639 keep that in mind. All right, we got excuse me, 202 00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:19.720 we got another update of traffick and weather come in 203 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:21.279 your way. Something I want to make sure we get 204 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.840 to a little bit later on. The Happy Gilmour sequel 205 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.360 is now out on Netflix, and I'm so scared to 206 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:29.440 watch it. I'm gonna do it, but I'm scared to 207 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:34.000 watch it. We talk about that. Also, US grocery prices 208 00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:37.320 hit record highs here in twenty twenty five, and I've 209 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:38.799 got a good breakdown that I want to share with 210 00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:43.679 you as far as just the amount of increase we've 211 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:45.639 seen with certain types of things that you get at 212 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.200 the grocery. And I'm not telling you something you don't 213 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:51.759 already know, but you may not realize just how big 214 00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:56.080 of a jump we've seen in prices comparatively from a 215 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.399 five year stretch now compared to you know, five year 216 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.080 stretches decades back. 217 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:02.320 So again, stick with us. 218 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.320 It is Kentucky and his morning news coffee and company 219 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:05.919 NIT coffee with you right here on news radio waight 220 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:10.879 forty whas. Thank you very much, John Shannon. It is 221 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.799 six thirty five here Kentucky had his morning news coffee 222 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:15.840 and company nit coffee with you here on news radio 223 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.639 eight forty whas. We've got the full crew in the 224 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:23.080 house today. John Alden back from a nice staycation and 225 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:25.120 we're certainly happy to have him back. And if you 226 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:28.480 are somebody that has a kid in the school system 227 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.320 here in Jefferson County, be aware you've got you're on 228 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.200 the clock essentially because we have what looks like a 229 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.000 little over a week until school starts August the seventh. 230 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.399 Next Thursday is your first day for kids back at school, 231 00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:46.639 and the travel situation right getting kids to school, the 232 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.360 whole bus situation that is going to be I think 233 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.759 the first It's one of those things. If you're the 234 00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:57.120 new JCPS superintendent, you you really are, I think are good. 235 00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.519 You probably haven't had any moment just yet that has 236 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:01.320 hit you. And I shouldn't say that because I don't know. 237 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:04.919 But dealing with the first day of school. In the 238 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.559 previous disaster travel situations that have taken place, certainly the 239 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.000 one that stands out more than any is twenty twenty three. 240 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.759 I mean, that's going to be probably the first day 241 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.279 where you are you're sitting in it and you realize, Okay, 242 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:19.080 this is what I signed up for. And clearly, I mean, 243 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.320 you don't take that position without knowing what comes with it. 244 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:27.200 But doctor Yearwood is the new JCPS superintendent, Brian Yearwood, 245 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.480 and I give him credit. 246 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:31.080 I mean, this is probably what you're supposed to do. 247 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.519 So it's maybe not like he's doing something that those 248 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:35.639 before him didn't do, but it can only help, and 249 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:40.559 that is just making sure that everybody is communicating parents, teachers, 250 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:42.960 school system, all on the same page as far as 251 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.159 just the plan. So they're launching today at nine o'clock. 252 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.519 They're going to open up a JCPS bus hotline and 253 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:50.200 you can call that. 254 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.240 At five oo two four eighty five ride. 255 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.240 It opens today from nine am until four pm, and 256 00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:00.519 they'll take any transportation related questions that you have as 257 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:04.000 they're giving you again enough time here to to get 258 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.279 your plan in place. And figure out what you know 259 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:07.919 where you need to have your kid as far as 260 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.279 the school bus number, stop location, estimated pick up and 261 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:12.679 drop off time. And by the way, you can get 262 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.480 all that information right now by just going to the 263 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.320 bus Teller tool on the JCPS website. 264 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:19.639 So parents do their part. 265 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.279 I don't know how much that can help as far 266 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.840 as avoiding potential disasters because you really never know, but 267 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:29.039 it can hurt, right, and that is something that should 268 00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:31.559 be should be noted, probably more than it does, is 269 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.720 that parents are a big I mean, if parents are 270 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:40.360 complaining and just no pun intended throwing JCPS under the bus, 271 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.639 I think now we just assume that every bit of 272 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:47.679 it is just jcps's fault and they got to get 273 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:48.120 it together. 274 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.519 Look at our tax dollars going to waste. This is 275 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:50.960 a joke. 276 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:54.639 And certainly there's plenty of things you can point and 277 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.559 criticize that when it comes to JCPS. But parents also 278 00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:00.720 play a huge role in all of it. So maybe 279 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.000 sometimes when you hear people complain about an issue with 280 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.320 their kid and the school bus, maybe maybe all of 281 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:09.679 it is rooted from a parent not knowing when to 282 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:12.519 drop a kid off, not knowing where to drop them off, 283 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:16.200 that kind of stuff. So again, we only have seven 284 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:19.519 days left of summer vacation for those students here in JCPS, which, 285 00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:21.480 by the way, I don't know if these kids deal 286 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.320 with it now, because kids now just everything's different from 287 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.759 the time I was a kid. But this is right 288 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.159 around the time. And John, you can relate to this. 289 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.559 You're younger than me, but I think this is we're 290 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.279 relatively close enough to where you probably experienced this too. 291 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:39.000 But the back to school commercials, yeah, about school supplies 292 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.000 or clothes or. 293 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.480 Even just going into a grocery store and seeing the 294 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.000 school supply section, yep, would give you anxiety. 295 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.919 Oh man, the anxiety, the fear of, oh my god, 296 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.639 they've already got they've already they're already promoting that J. C. 297 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.679 Penny's got a deal that mom's going to want to 298 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.480 take advantage of to get you money uniforms for middle school. 299 00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.519 It was just the fear of, oh my god, school 300 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:04.080 is in fact coming back. Summer vacation is coming to 301 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:07.399 an end. And I remember, I remember that fear, but 302 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.120 it did go away for me more often than not 303 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.720 as I got really close to school, meaning like the 304 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.240 day before, because I wanted to get back see all 305 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:17.039 my friends. And then after the first day, I was like, yeah, 306 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:20.000 that was that was fine. But yeah, now the countdown 307 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.960 is on once again. When's winter break coming? Whin's spring break? 308 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:25.840 Because you know, school is valuable in a lot of 309 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:28.559 ways that doesn't even need to be said, but when 310 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:31.440 it comes to just the you know the but again, 311 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:33.960 maybe it's different now, right, like I think, And it 312 00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.200 just hit me that I didn't have any way of 313 00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:39.159 keeping up with my friends whenever I was in middle 314 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:43.039 school during summer break because we didn't have me the 315 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:44.960 Internet was brand new. In fact, if I kept up 316 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:47.279 with anybody that I wasn't like a close friend with 317 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:50.919 during summer break, it was occasionally on AOL instant messenger. 318 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:53.200 Who remembers that that is that was like our way 319 00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:55.799 of communicating with each other when we weren't at school, 320 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:57.879 but we didn't have cell phones. We didn't text or 321 00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:01.039 anything like that. Now, I mean, I'm I have some 322 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.039 friends who have children that are a little bit older 323 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.279 than mine that are in sixth grade or going into 324 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.559 seventh grade, and they have cell phones and that's kind 325 00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:11.080 of the new norm now, so or they have you know, 326 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.519 I don't know, if kids that age are on social media, 327 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:15.960 they probably shouldn't be. But that was one of the 328 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:17.559 what was one of the things that would have helped 329 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.960 me deal with the sadness of summer coming to an end. Well, 330 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.000 at least don't get to see my friends. But now 331 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:25.639 I'm sure you know, with technology being what it is, 332 00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:28.799 you probably see your friends and talk to them much 333 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:32.440 more consistently during summer break than I did back in 334 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:35.000 my day. But yeah, the clock sticking. So if you 335 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.480 don't have all the info that you need to make 336 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:39.200 sure that your kid can get the school year started 337 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.639 right again, you go to the JCPS website. They've got 338 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:44.120 the bus teller tool that's there, and you just have 339 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:46.600 some questions you want to talk to somebody starting at 340 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:49.720 nine o'clock this morning, they've got their hotline activated. 341 00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:54.080 BABO two four eight five ride all right. 342 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:56.720 So there's an app that I was unfamiliar with that 343 00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:00.320 Once again, this happens from time to time. There's there's 344 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.399 a data breach and it's the kind of app that 345 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:08.360 you probably would like to be discreet about. But unfortunately 346 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:10.720 a lot of that infos now out there for people, 347 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:13.360 I guess to figure out. We'll talk about it, because 348 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:16.279 I now just know if certain apps are asking me 349 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:19.919 to upload private documents, just like for verification, they may 350 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:21.799 be on the up and up, but like if they 351 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:25.039 easily get hacked, like that's I mean, if I got 352 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.000 to do all that, I think to myself, do I 353 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.080 really need this app? And more often than not, I don't. 354 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:31.080 So we'll get to that in a lot more. Let's 355 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.279 get let's get another check of the roadways out there. 356 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:35.720 Bobby Ellis will tell us how the traffic's looking to 357 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:37.399 get this week started. Also we'll get an update on 358 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:39.600 the forecast from at Melosavich. It is Kentucky in his 359 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:41.840 morning news Coffee and Company Nit Coffee with Can Hero 360 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.679 on News Radio eight forty whas. So, there is an 361 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:51.000 app called t Tea that apparently has has some real momentum, 362 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:53.720 or at least it had some momentum. And I've only 363 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.360 heard of it because of the data breach that took 364 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.360 that recently happened. But yeah, it sounds like seventy two 365 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.639 thousand private images have been leaked and this app. 366 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.200 And John, have you heard of Tea? I guess what 367 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:08.599 it is? Is it a gossiping website? Yes? I think 368 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.319 that's fair to say. It's like saying spill the tea. 369 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.640 It's kind of, yes, but it's specifically targeting dudes. So 370 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:18.559 Tea is a dating app built to help women safely 371 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.480 share information about men, and it just hit number one 372 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.200 on the App Store. But now they've got a little bit, 373 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:26.880 a little bit of a crisis on their hands. It's 374 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:31.079 tens of thousands of personal photos have been leaked in 375 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:35.720 a major hack, and it lets women rate and review 376 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:40.400 men they've dated, labeling them red flag or green flag. 377 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:43.799 So it went viral last week just because again, this 378 00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:45.880 to me seems to be a new thing. I'm not 379 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.640 sure if other apps like this. Maybe it's similar to 380 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.000 this Facebook group that has gone viral, and there's many 381 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.000 different versions of them. But are we dating the same guy? 382 00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.279 Facebook groups like there's ore we Dating the same guy? 383 00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:00.519 New York? Are we dating the same guys? Chicago? 384 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.960 Where like if a woman suspects that she's dating somebody 385 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:08.079 that might be dating other people, they'll they'll post their 386 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:12.279 picture and sure enough, it's on many occasions led to 387 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.440 somebody being caught having maybe multiple women that they're dating. 388 00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:20.960 So it says here that they had two million sign 389 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.000 ups which was that was last week, which that's a lot. 390 00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:25.519 That's how you ended up. That's how you end up 391 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:29.519 topping the free app chart within Apple. But Friday hackers 392 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:33.480 access the database containing seventy two thousand images, thirteen thousand 393 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.759 of which were verifications, selfies, and government ID photos. So 394 00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:43.759 the hack followed I guess coordinated threats posted on something 395 00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:46.799 called four chan where users called for a hack and 396 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:52.319 leak campaign, and I think it's maybe led man. I 397 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.319 don't who knows why they're what the benefit of leaking 398 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.119 this information is, but I can see some people saying, hey, 399 00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:02.119 this is a cool that you know you've created, Like 400 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.680 what you said, this is clearly just for gossip reasons, right, 401 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:07.559
