WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:01.199 Good morning, Kentuckyana. 2 00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:04.040 It is Kentucky Anda's Morning News with Nick Coffee on 3 00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:06.799 news Radio eight forty whas eight oh five. 4 00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:09.919 As we get the week started. We got the week started, 5 00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:10.679 in fact. 6 00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:12.039 A lot earlier than you did if you're just now 7 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:15.880 joining us. But it's okay if you missed out, just 8 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.440 you know, set your alarm earlier and you can start. 9 00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:20.440 Your day with us every day at five o'clock. 10 00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.519 I'm really trying to sell that is it's if it's 11 00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:25.359 something you're just missing out on, if you're not waking 12 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.480 up that early. Some people have to wake up that 13 00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.839 early because that's when they start their workday. But if 14 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:31.960 you are somebody that gets to sleep in a little 15 00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.359 bit later, I envy you, and also I get it 16 00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:35.920 sleep is. 17 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.399 Very valuable. 18 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:40.679 In fact, last night was the first Sunday since I 19 00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:44.520 made the shift to this new role here, and it 20 00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.640 was like nine thirty and the Sunday scaries hadn't set in, 21 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:50.159 and I'm like, you know what, I guess they're not 22 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.359 coming because I just I mean, Sundays are now the 23 00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:55.159 day John for me, where I just know, okay, I 24 00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:57.960 can it's part of the weekend still, you know, I'm 25 00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:59.799 not working. I do get to sleep in that day, 26 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.439 but my Sundays are very mild now compared to what 27 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.000 they once were, just because you know, I got I 28 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.400 got an early rise on a Monday one day. I'll 29 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:11.719 be as adjusted as you are. But then again, as 30 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.680 soon as you got adjusted, or at least used to it, 31 00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:15.560 then you then you became a father, and then your 32 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.959 sleep pattern, I'm sure became uh, I'm even more. 33 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.879 Well adjusted to that now. Thankfully, good, good, hopefully I'll 34 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:24.640 say that, and then you know, things will change here 35 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:25.760 in the next few days, I'm sure. 36 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:27.159 But hey, it's good. I'm glad. 37 00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:29.799 I'm glad to hear you say that. Also, I can 38 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:36.319 tell just by uh, you know that, but also you know, 39 00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.560 I just visually I can just I can just tell 40 00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.120 that you know, you didn't get up, you didn't get 41 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.239 a good night's sleep certain mornings, and it's not anything you. 42 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:46.640 I mean, you still come in here, you do a 43 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:51.439 great job, but you wear your your fatigue at times, 44 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.200 which I don't know how you wouldn't. You just look 45 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.120 tired sometimes, which again I get it. You got you 46 00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.000 got a newborn at home, But I'm glad to hear it. Again, 47 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.599 I could tell that you've been You've you've at least adjusted. 48 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:00.840 Is it? 49 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.200 Is it consistency now that is paying off to where 50 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.760 there's more of a routine with with baby Daisy. 51 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.800 It's consistency. It's better communication between me and my wife 52 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.360 on you know, both of us needing sleep at different 53 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.120 points of the day, and I think that's really helped 54 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:14.560 both of us. 55 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:15.719 Good good to hear. 56 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.439 Yeah, and I just did something that I shouldn't have 57 00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.599 done because it happened to me last week and I've 58 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.400 got I've got tough skin. But my wife, she she 59 00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:30.039 wanted to let me know without being mean. But when 60 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.800 you tell somebody they look tired, that's insulting their appearance. 61 00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.280 That's I mean, maybe you're not. I mean, I don't 62 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:37.919 think you're coming from a place of where you want 63 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.400 to let somebody know that they look awful, they look rough. 64 00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.319 But who has ever been told they look tired? Or 65 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.120 who has ever told someone they look tired? And the 66 00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:52.080 feeling on either side being one of compliment nothing right. 67 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.159 I mean, you know, we were at an event with 68 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.039 her work and it was it was last Thursday, and 69 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.199 I I didn't get as much rest during the day 70 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.560 so I didn't get the nap that I needed. Therefore, 71 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.240 by seven o'clock I was running on fumes, and I 72 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:13.439 guess it was visibly showing, and she like, you look 73 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.719 tired today, and I'm like, yeah, I'm pretty tired. And 74 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.280 then she asked me to go rub some water on 75 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:19.400 my face and you know, like freshen up a little bit. 76 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.240 I'm like, is it that bad? She was like, you 77 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.080 look tired. I'm like, all right, geez. 78 00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:26.560 But that was my fault, because that was every now 79 00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.680 and then I'll get a little a little too confident that, 80 00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:33.039 oh this is fine, I'm adjusted one thousand percent now, 81 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.759 nothing to worry about. And then if I don't get 82 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.120 the proper rest during the day and I don't get 83 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.560 to bed at a certain time, then I'll learn quickly 84 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.039 I'm going to be I'm defeated. I've got to be 85 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:49.319 able to have that self discipline is really what I've 86 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.080 always liked, and certainly now I need more of. So anyhow, 87 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:54.960 so this is something that you've heard throughout the morning 88 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.199 on the news that President Trump says that he has 89 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.360 a buyer for TikTok. He told Fox News that a 90 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.039 buyer is in place, but he didn't say who it was, 91 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.719 and he's extended it many times, the deadline to sell 92 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.520 the company from the Chinese ownership. I think it's Byte 93 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.319 Dance is the name of the company. So he's trying 94 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:14.879 to find buyers, and he says these new buyers, as 95 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.560 you could expect if you're going to purchase the most 96 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.560 popular social media platform out there, that you'd be very wealthy. 97 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:21.279 But he said he'll have more to say on the 98 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.639 matter in about two weeks. So, as you likely know, 99 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.720 Congress forced the sale of TikTok fearing the national security 100 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:29.519 concerns over the Chinese ownership. 101 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.560 So what I think is, when I have a hard 102 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:33.279 I think this. 103 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:38.480 Thing will be extended until something is done to where 104 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.759 you don't have to worry about needing extension. But what 105 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.040 nobody seems to really highlight is that Byte Dance the 106 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.839 owner of TikTok. Unless I've missed out on it, I 107 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.839 don't think they've ever indicated they have any interest in selling. 108 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.680 So you can find a buyer, you can have unlimited money. 109 00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:58.920 Someone is going to have to want to sell you 110 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:03.399 what you want. Finding a buyer is really really important, 111 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.000 and it's a big piece when you are trying to 112 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:10.040 sell something. I don't think the company that owns TikTok 113 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:11.480 is eager to sell. 114 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:11.680 Now. 115 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.879 Again, they may get an offer they can't refuse, and 116 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.560 maybe they realize, maybe they feel like they've maximized what 117 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.079 they could get out of it, and it's only going 118 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.519 to go down from here. But again, I know at 119 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:23.759 times I sound like I'm some big advocate of TikTok, 120 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.120 and it's not that, because you can do whatever you want. 121 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:27.519 I mean, in fact, if you don't want to spend 122 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.480 any time on any of these social media platforms, you're 123 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.759 probably better off. But I just think that a lot 124 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.360 of people have a misconception of really what TikTok is, 125 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.079 and I don't even really know what When it comes 126 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.720 to describing what it is, it can be a variety 127 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.439 of different things for different people. That's the power of 128 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.800 what it is as far as the platform. So again, 129 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:48.920 Trump says he's got a buyer. We'll know more in 130 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.120 two weeks as far as who that is. But when 131 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.439 it comes to a transaction, a buyer and a seller, 132 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.759 you need too And he says he has the buyer, 133 00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.759 But do they want to sell. I've yet to see 134 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:01.560 any indication that they're looking to put it up on 135 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.879 the market, but we shall see. All right, we'll talk 136 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.199 a little more about what we know as far as 137 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.920 the situation in Colorado that took place I'm sorry, Idaho 138 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.560 that took place yesterday, and we'll also bring in roy 139 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.360 O'Neil coming up at eight thirty. It's Kentucky and it's 140 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.519 Morning News with Nick Coffee on News Radio eight forty 141 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:20.000 WHS eight sixteen. Here Kentucky. Anda's Morning News with Nick 142 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.959 Coffee on news Radio eight forty whas we'll talk to 143 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.000 Roy O'Neil a the NBC News Coming up here at 144 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.920 eight thirty. We'll get the latest on the situation in 145 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.120 Idaho where firefighters were ambushed while responding. 146 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:37.079 To a fire. We do know that at least two firefighters. 147 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.839 Have been killed and the suspect also was found dead. 148 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.920 As far as the identity of that individual, that is 149 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.279 still not something we know at this time. So again, 150 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.560 roy O'Neil set to join us coming up at about 151 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.160 eight thirty. The big story here locally this morning has 152 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.519 been the passing of legendary Hall of Famer heck of 153 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.600 a guy, de Wayne Lucas, who passed away on Saturday 154 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.319 at the age of eighty nine. If you are somebody 155 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:06.000 that is even somewhat familiar with this city and horse racing, 156 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.839 you know who d Wayne Lucas is. This is the 157 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.839 guy who won the Derby four times, has a total 158 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.680 of fourteen Triple Crown race wins, and won the Preakness 159 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.439 six times, as well as four wins in the Belmont, 160 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.560 and he also secured twenty Breeders' Cup victories and just 161 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.240 a guy that did it for a long time and 162 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:29.079 was very successful, seemingly from start to finish. But what 163 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.759 I have come to realize, and and by the way, 164 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.720 I did not have any I've never had the pleasure 165 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.600 of meeting or just or talking to d Wayne Lucas. 166 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:40.439 But if I ever did, I would have I'd like 167 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:41.879 to believe I would have considered it to be a 168 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.240 really big honor, just because that's the kind of presence 169 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.040 that he had, somebody that not only was impactful in 170 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.800 a major way when it comes to horse racing, but 171 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.920 he seemed to really leave an impression and make an 172 00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:54.680 impact on a lot of people as well. That is 173 00:07:55.079 --> 00:08:00.360 not something that goes unnoticed. When you know somebody's always 174 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.319 going to be just because their presence and what they've 175 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.480 established in their industry, meaning horse racing, they're going to 176 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:10.319 be a no name. But I think in at least 177 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:13.319 the last ten years or so, when people would talk 178 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:15.959 about Dwayne Lucas, it wasn't as much about what he 179 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.639 accomplished in horse racing. It was just the impression that 180 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.360 he left on them. I mean, I think for as 181 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.959 long as he did it, he was pretty consistent, very genuine, 182 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.160 and those that got a chance to know him a 183 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.759 little bit and covered him throughout his career, they're not 184 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:30.920 talking a whole lot about his accomplishments. Not that they 185 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:34.960 don't value what he did when it comes to his profession, 186 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:36.919 but certainly somebody that's going to be missed in a 187 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:40.600 major way. So rip and thoughts and prayers with his 188 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:43.559 family and of course all those that did know de 189 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.960 Wayne Lucas eighty nine years old and passed on Saturday. 190 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.440 Churchill Down's put out a press release with that information 191 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:52.840 on Sunday afternoon. 192 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:53.279 All right. 193 00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:56.879 Also the Crystal Rogers case, the trial is expected to 194 00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:59.559 start back up today, but last week as it came 195 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.080 to an end, and there was some testimony that I 196 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.279 think was is damaging is damaging of anything that has 197 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.519 come up in this trial that started last week. For 198 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.279 the defense, we now have a neighbor who's testified that 199 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.679 brooks Howk's family, his mother and brother, they suspiciously, suspiciously 200 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.960 moved bags from their trunks into into brooks Howse's basement 201 00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:23.600 just days after Christal Rogers vanished. And also there was 202 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:28.720 another another witness that testified that she over heard Joseph 203 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.799 and Stephen laws and discussing moving a body on the 204 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.279 house farm using a skid steer. So again that's that's 205 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.639 not that's not direct proof. There's still I mean there's 206 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.000 no body, there's no physical evidence, so all this is circumstantial, 207 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.240 which of course is not ideal in most instances for 208 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.200 the prosecution. But I think when it comes to the evidence, 209 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:52.679 even though again it's it's it's there's no body, I mean, 210 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:55.639 there's no crime scene, that's always a challenge when it 211 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:59.159 comes to the prosecution. But I guess what we're gonna 212 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:02.320 find out is that here are they willing to run 213 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:05.639 with all of the evidence that certainly can't just be 214 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.840 some coincidence to make a decision that of course would 215 00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:15.600 find these individuals guilty of murder. So it'll start back 216 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.039 up today and we'll keep the updated as best we can. 217 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:19.519 As you could expect. 218 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:23.039 The defense they're emphasizing and they're going to continue to 219 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:27.879 emphasize that this case stems from the media and family 220 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:31.399 pressure and some of the things that they're being accused 221 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.840 of doing. As far as being shady and suspicious, they 222 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.159 were just worried that law enforcement was out to get them. 223 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.159 That's kind of the gist of what the defense is here, 224 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.879 and that, you know it, don't be surprised if we 225 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.879 hear that that was said more than anything throughout this 226 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.960 entire situation is that there's no body, there's no crime scene, 227 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:50.799 there's no physical evidence, because those are. 228 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.000 Pretty important things when it comes to a trial like this. 229 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:56.519 All right, we've got sports coming your way, but first, 230 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.360 an update on trafficking weather, and again don't forget Roy 231 00:10:58.440 --> 00:10:59.519 and Neil going to join us at eight thirty. 232 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:01.720 Right here, there's radio eight forty WHS. 233 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.039 It is a forty five here Kentucky AA's Morning News 234 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:07.360 with Nick Coffee. 235 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.240 Here. I almost said the wrong station. 236 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:12.559 It's News Radio eight forty WHS the Big Stick and 237 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:15.559 Tony Venetti is with me. Here this morning, I just 238 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.320 shared some news with you that you don't seem too 239 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:19.559 happy about, and that is that there's not going to 240 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:24.440 be parking meters in the Highlands potentially, and that that'll 241 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.919 be a big change just because forever you've never had 242 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.600 to pay to park on Barchtown Road in the Highlands 243 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:31.080 if you're right there on the street in front of 244 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.200 all the businesses and whatnot. But now the Parking Authority 245 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.279 of River City plans to add three hundred and twenty 246 00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:38.840 eight parking meters along Barchtown Road in the Highlands to 247 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:42.759 increase revenue and also parking turnover for businesses. 248 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.559 Every policy, okay, every policy, you gotta find what information 249 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.000 makes this make sense. Because if there's no agenda, then 250 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:53.919 you go, oh, that should be great for business. Opposite, 251 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:57.279 no one wants. It'll be another hurdle people will have 252 00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.679 to do to go down there and spend money. 253 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.320 Dwight will not go. 254 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:04.519 He's the unusual weirdo, but he'll not go to the 255 00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:05.399 Highlands because. 256 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.440 You go, oh, the convenient parking No, thank you. 257 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.559 Like he has to go anyway because that now you 258 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.080 throw parking meters in there, that will reduce business in 259 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:17.679 the Highlands. What makes that make sense my opinion, and 260 00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:20.039 I have no evidence based on this because I haven't 261 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.200 talked to anybody about this subject yet, but that means 262 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.120 to me that says Nick that they want to tow 263 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.600 cars and get rid of some of these. 264 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:33.840 Pop up parties. 265 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.279 Could be or they want money. This would generate apparently 266 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:40.320 two hundred and eighty five thousand annually and it's supposed 267 00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:44.399 to help fund the operations of the Parking Authority. 268 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:44.600 Of River City. 269 00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:46.480 So you're right, there are people who just think of 270 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:49.320 the having to parallel park on that busy road and 271 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:50.759 they're like, yeah, I'm out. But if you throw in 272 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:52.440 you got to do that and you gotta pay, it 273 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:53.639 could turn a lot of people away. 274 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:56.200 So I thought the uber lanes were a great idea. 275 00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:00.759 So the Friends of Barstown Road that group, they opposed 276 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:02.679 the plan, and what they have cited as far as 277 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.440 the unfairness here is that other areas like Frankfort Avenue 278 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:10.200 remain meter free, and that is a legitimate great because 279 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:14.039 if you are competing with a restaurant that's in the 280 00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.320 same space as you as far as the type of food, 281 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.600 and they're relatively the same distance from where you're coming from. 282 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.159 People would probably choose to to go to the one 283 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:24.279 where they don't have to pay to park. 284 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.960 Yeah, like Saint Matthew's. Yeah, there's that whole Saint Matthew's 285 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.320 Bar corridor. Uh, there's what seven or eight bars there. 286 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.960 There's no pain for parking there. So that's where they're 287 00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:33.279 going to go. 288 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.679 Put your put yourself in the shoes of a business owner, 289 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:38.759 and I'm going to sell you on the positive of this. 290 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:42.519 Oh what's the positive, sir, Well, what this could do 291 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.919 is help turn over parking to get more people to 292 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:49.000 be able to park and come to your business. That 293 00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:52.919 now people won't leave their car there all day and 294 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:55.679 limit parking spaces for people that want to come and 295 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.120 give you business. Doesn't sound like I'm hitting here, doesn't 296 00:13:58.159 --> 00:13:59.039 sound like it's connecting. 297 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:01.200 No, not selling me, not selling me at all. If 298 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:02.720 I'm with you, I wouldn't think if I own the 299 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:06.399 business actually, after the shootings, after the pop up parties, 300 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:08.360 if I own a business, and especially the ones that 301 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:10.919 have owned the businesses for like thirty years down there, 302 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:12.879 there's a point when you got to go, I'm out, 303 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:17.240 I'm not doing this. There are areas that get hot 304 00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:19.960 and then and then they die off, right, So and 305 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.519 that I'm not saying the Highlands is dying off. 306 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.279 It's it's a walkable. 307 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:27.399 Most people that used to go to those businesses live 308 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:29.279 in the Highlands and they walk there. 309 00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:30.240 Okay. 310 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:32.519 That's the whole thing about the Highlands is that on 311 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:35.399 a Friday, or's warm Friday or Saturday night, that there's 312 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.200 just a ton of people walking on the sidewalks. 313 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:40.200 I don't know. 314 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.519 I like the uber idea because even I mean, Jackie 315 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:44.919 and I we uber everywhere. 316 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:46.039 It's so easy. 317 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.919 The longest I've ever waited for an uber is four minutes, 318 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:52.919 especially in Louisville. So you have nothing but an uber lane, 319 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:55.039 or it's just a row of ubers you can just 320 00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:58.480 get in. That would be the idea. And it's safety, 321 00:14:59.200 --> 00:14:59.679 not drinking. 322 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:04.159 And yeah, I think one. I didn't give this much thought. 323 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:06.120 But the first thing you mentioned, as far as just 324 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.039 wanting to tow, wanting to tow cars that haven't paid 325 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:10.600 the meter and get them out of there, that's probably 326 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.519 a bit and that's I'd say that's at least somewhat 327 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.320 of a factor in this decision. But I wouldn't be 328 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:17.840 shocked if in twenty years. You just know if you 329 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:20.159 leave the house and go somewhere, probably less than twenty years, 330 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:22.320 probably five years. He probably next week. I don't know 331 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.679 that if you end up having to pay to park anywhere, like, 332 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:25.720 we just can't be surprised. 333 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:26.720 Nobody wants to do it. 334 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.080 But I am no longer surprised when I go anywhere 335 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:30.360 and I've got to pay to park. 336 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.159 All right, let me ask you a question. They're chief 337 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:35.600 one to ten. How good are you at parallel parking? 338 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:37.120 I used to park cars for a living, so I'm 339 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:37.559 pretty good. 340 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:38.000 Damn. 341 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.519 I was a valet valet parker. 342 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:43.720 At Jewish Hospital when I was eighteen nineteen. 343 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.559 I'm fifty six and still suck at it. I can 344 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.480 teach you I'm in, I'm in, I'm in. It is 345 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:53.399 more and people aren't good at that. So now you're 346 00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:55.480 going to start downe it under pressure on a busy road. 347 00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:57.440 Now you're going to go to Molly Balloons and have 348 00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:59.960 one of those really thick beer and they're trying to 349 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:01.440 get out of a parking spot. 350 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:03.000 Should I lead with. 351 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:06.399 That in conversations like not only not only can I 352 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:09.240 parallel park, I can do it in a resume, can 353 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:13.240 do it at a five speed just so where that's 354 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:15.720 like I break the ice from people. I don't know 355 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:17.639 if you know this about me, but I've been known 356 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:19.159 to be a really good parallel parker and could also 357 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:21.279 do it with a manual transmission as well. 358 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.759 I think you should chart it as a business. I'm 359 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:24.360 Nick Coffee. 360 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:27.360 If you're old and can't still can't parlelo a parallel park, 361 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:28.240 I'll teach you. 362 00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:30.279 I've got you all right. What are some other things 363 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:32.279 that used to just be free? You would never think 364 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.440 you'd ever have to pay for parking? Is certainly one 365 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.440 of them. The broadcast television used to be that way 366 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:39.600 because you could just get an antenna, right, But now 367 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:41.639 you have to have a converter to use at antenna. 368 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.120 Somebody on the talkback feature earlier mentioned one that's good 369 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.120 air for your tires. Now it's hard to find a 370 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:50.480 place where you don't have to pay. Yeah, and then 371 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.399 I finally bought the thirty dollars are what about? This 372 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:58.120 is more so in Europe, but there are I've never 373 00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:00.639 experienced this in the United States, but I did in Mexico, 374 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.079 and I never knew it was a thing, but public restrooms, 375 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:07.880 I went to a mall in Kane Kun and the 376 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:10.640 restroom was upstairs and you had to like it's almost 377 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:13.359 like you're paying to get on, like through a train station, 378 00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:15.039 Like you have to put like a quarter in to 379 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:15.880 use the bathroom. 380 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:16.799 That's not a thing here. 381 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:20.559 But I'll crawl under bottled water like I don't know 382 00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:23.799 if you would get But now, the bottled water industry 383 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:26.240 didn't used to exist right now it's a four hundred 384 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:28.599 billion dollar industry. Yeah, because they don't trust the water 385 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:31.240 coming out of their tap. There's an old commercial where 386 00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:33.400 the guy's sitting in the in the creek in the 387 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.039 nineteen seventies and he pours out he has a bottle 388 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.440 and goes, I think I'm gonna start selling bottled water, 389 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:39.599 and they were like, dude. 390 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:42.319 Water's free, and buy water waters free. Dude. 391 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:46.079 Well, I think those that grew up before bottled water 392 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:48.200 was the thing, they just drank it out of the faucet. 393 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.480 Those individuals seem to be better off than those that 394 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:53.839 have been well, that have been exposed to the bottled 395 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:54.599 water industry. 396 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:56.720 Well, most people that I know that are crazy and 397 00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:01.000 have real issues. Dwight Whitton Trees still drinks out of 398 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:01.519 the tap. 399 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:06.039 I'm still a garden hose guy.
