Fellas 9 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:22.679 is it is? 10 00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:22.879 It? 11 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.399 Can we say college football season is here? I mean 12 00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:28.239 we have games this week. Okay, just to make sure 13 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:31.519 you were ready to confirm that, thank you, John. Yeah, 14 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.960 I'm looking at the slate here for a week zero 15 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:37.079 and I'm not going to be not going to be. 16 00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.719 You know, I'm not going to complain. We have real 17 00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.799 football and that's exciting, but you know it's not what 18 00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:44.320 we're going to get when we get really rolling. 19 00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:46.079 But hey, again, I won't complain. I'm going to embrace it. 20 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.240 We also have high school football starting this week, which 21 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.679 is really exciting. And yeah, we got another week. We're 22 00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:53.960 getting up and running here, and we had a little 23 00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:55.320 bit of a break yesterday. I don't know if you 24 00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.600 guys noticed, I think it was actually unexpected where we 25 00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.479 never reached the nineties, which almost fell like we need 26 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:01.280 to put sweaters on. 27 00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:02.280 I mean, well, it's kind in. 28 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:03.439 The cool down's coming to see. 29 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.040 Temperatures could be in the mid fifties yes naxt week overnight. 30 00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:09.040 I'm ready for the cool down to happen. And I 31 00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:10.959 don't know how long it's going to stay. Don't know 32 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.439 how long we can expect it, but I'm going to 33 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:17.159 embrace it and enjoy it because this summer, I mean, 34 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.280 I don't really know if there's any data that supports this. 35 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.400 There's probably not, because if it was in fact like 36 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.200 this record breaking type of summer, I think we would know. 37 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.640 It just feels as if we haven't had as many breaks, 38 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:30.480 if you know what I mean, from the heat right, 39 00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.879 like yesterday was a break. I don't think it was 40 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.079 expected to be as cool as it actually was. But 41 00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.439 I'll but I'll take it. You were in Cincinnati this weekend, 42 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.000 are they? I guess they pretty much have the same 43 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:39.400 weather we. 44 00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:42.400 Do, right, same thing, same thing. The humidity is bad, Yeah, 45 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:42.920 it was hot. 46 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:43.519 It was hot. 47 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.159 I was moving a bed down from a third floor 48 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.640 apartment back up to a second floor apartment. 49 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.599 That sounds like a great way to spend your weekend. 50 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.840 Were No, by the time we were done, dude, it was. 51 00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:56.560 It was well done. 52 00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:58.640 We had a nice dinner, it was well deserved, and 53 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.599 there were a few SuDS partake of at dinner. 54 00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:03.280 But no, it was the same thing, dude, it was 55 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:04.560 the same. It was hot, it was human. 56 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.120 Looking at the Climate Prediction Centers eight to fourteen day 57 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:09.919 out look, it looks like we're gonna stay below normal 58 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.960 temperatures coming up through that. So I think the most 59 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.159 brutal part of this was before we hit the road Friday, 60 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:18.919 I was cutting my grass and it was just I mean, 61 00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.560 it's the grass is so thick, it's so wet. 62 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.800 It's just the air is like that. 63 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.159 I mean, that's just what we're doing. I mean, that's. 64 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:27.520 Brutal, It's like and so by the time I get 65 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:28.479 done cutting the grass, it's told. 66 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.719 My wife said, I am just baked. I'm baked on 67 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:31.360 every level. 68 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:31.800 I'm done. 69 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.159 And so if it doesn't rain for a while, my 70 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:35.199 yard slows down. 71 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:35.919 I'm okay with that. 72 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.719 Saturday was it was one of those days where I 73 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.439 ended up. I was fortunate to spend some time poolside 74 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.840 Thankfully my mother and stepfather, they they have a setup 75 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.240 and they allow me to take advantage of it. And man, 76 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:50.199 I needed to this weekend with the kids by myself 77 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.120 for the weekend, but it was I was in the 78 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.599 pool and for the first time, it wasn't even really 79 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.039 like refreshing because even though the water was you know, 80 00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:58.919 it's better to be in the water than without. 81 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.639 But like, it's just that air. It's thick and gross. 82 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:02.199 And that's what. 83 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.680 People were complaining about all weekend. They said, you walk 84 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.039 out and you literally just the air's wet. It's just 85 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.199 so like to your point, hopefully we break. 86 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.879 It when I get to when we get here, meaning 87 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.000 football is here, I mean we know that for the 88 00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.879 first few weeks of football season, sometimes even longer, it's 89 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.120 going to be pretty hot. But man, I'm ready for 90 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.039 I'm ready for a hoodie. Yeah, and some fall temperatures, 91 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:23.800 but we got a ways to go. Yeah, and uh, 92 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.280 you know it's coming fire pit again. I haven't used 93 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.520 a fire pit since the early spring. Yeah, I tell 94 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.319 you what, that's one of those I'm trying. I'm thinking 95 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.039 now when it comes to cooler temperatures and fall season, 96 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.280 there are things that like you you like a fire pit, 97 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.360 you realize, Oh yeah, that's it's you know, fire pit 98 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.120 season is upon us, John, and I'm sure you're looking 99 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.680 forward to doing that. I'm also looking forward to to 100 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.759 betting on some college football this year, which it just 101 00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.719 be it's just donations I make to to Drafting Sports Book, 102 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:53.680 and I'm sure they're appreciative of these donations. 103 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:53.800 That I give. 104 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.319 But what I always tell people who are are not 105 00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.240 into the sports gambling, totally understand do whatever you want. 106 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.000 If you are enjoying sports without having any type of 107 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.439 wager on it, then you know that's then it's good. 108 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.240 I just I always say that it enhances the experience 109 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.879 in a way that just it makes a little bit 110 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.240 more exciting. It's entertainment. It's not like I'm out here 111 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.680 trying to, you know, make make a living doing it, 112 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:16.600 because certainly. 113 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.160 I would be. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't be 114 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:18.399 able to. 115 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:18.680 I don't. 116 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:18.920 I don't. 117 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.759 It's not like I went a whole lot. But John, 118 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:21.920 I think you're a good case study. 119 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.720 You had never been someone that really got into sports 120 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.560 gambling at all until it became legal and it became 121 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.360 sort of really content as far as what we did 122 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.680 on the sports side. Yeah, and you know, I don't 123 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.720 think you're betting big dollars, but it just it it 124 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.120 enhances the experience of sports, and that's that's what it's 125 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:39.879 now what I look forward to when it comes to, 126 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.360 you know, sports seasons starting that I really care about. 127 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.920 And I'm very good about really just doing it between 128 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.439 college football and the end of college basketball, and then 129 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.079 if I have a little bit left over towards the end, 130 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:51.839 I might do a little bit of NBA. But I 131 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.720 haven't done any wagering since since the beginning of the 132 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.000 NBA playoffs, so I'm ready to get back put some 133 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:58.000 skin in the game once again. 134 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.560 Scut. You're more of like a daily fantasy. 135 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.040 Right, Yeah, I do the Sunday daily fantasy. 136 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:02.279 Yeah. 137 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:03.319 Wake up Sunday morning. 138 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.959 Yeah, you wake up Sunday morning, create a couple of lineups, which, 139 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.839 to your point is great because you follow that along 140 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:10.839 and that's what makes Red Zone so much fun. 141 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.360 I feel like those those specific those leagues specifically, yeah, 142 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.000 have had they had to have had a negative impact 143 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:24.040 on people's interest in fantasy leagues, right, because it's like 144 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.480 a reset every week and it's it's fresh start and 145 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.959 you can have money in your pocket day of whereas 146 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.000 in your league. I really think, and we'll talk about 147 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.519 this later on, I had this planned. Some of the 148 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.000 best fantasy football punishments the leagues do as far as 149 00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.639 the come last, those are funny, but I do it 150 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.759 for just the nostalgia. We've had the same league for 151 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.439 no joke, about fifteen years now and it would be 152 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.120 sad to not have it anymore. But really like the 153 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.600 incentive for me, the payoff is our annual draft where 154 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:50.800 we all get together. We don't usually see each other 155 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.000 all in one setting and other than that draft, but 156 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.279 I mean it's like last on the priorities for me 157 00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.759 day of Sundays because I'm worried about my bets, and 158 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:00.519 even the daily fantasy stuff too, So. 159 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.480 It's still widely popular season long fantasies. It'll always be here. 160 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.480 To your point, a lot of people have those teams, 161 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.040 and I've seen some of those celebrations on TikTok that 162 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:09.920 are coming out now. 163 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.879 But daily fantasy just draws you into every game. 164 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:16.759 The amount of money that is spent across the country 165 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.800 on Sundays, just doing that is is big, big, big money, 166 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.040 And of course some people win big money, not me, 167 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:23.959 but other people do. 168 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.319 And that's proof that you can win, just isn't me. 169 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:27.120 So I've gotten some. 170 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:27.959 Peer money out of it. 171 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:29.319 Good Stuff's nice, good stuff. 172 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.199 All right, we'll get you caught up on at traffic 173 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:32.199 and weather this morning. 174 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.079 It is a Monday.

The first I saw 191 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:30.519 of it was just people on social media, just average 192 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.360 you know, not reporters, not media outlets, but somebody just 193 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.920 saying that they're aware of something that happened, and then 194 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.319 sure enough, within you know, a matter of minutes, it 195 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.600 ends up being a report of something going on. One 196 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:42.959 was the bus stop shooting, where somebody was there that 197 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.399 went Facebook live and you could see I mean, unfortunately, 198 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:48.680 you could see the woman laying on the ground. I mean, 199 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:50.600 it wasn't a close up, and no one knew at 200 00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:54.079 the time the significance of the well, I guess how 201 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:56.279 severe it was, but that's just how news kind of 202 00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.079 breaks this day and age. But on Friday, I don't 203 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.279 even know how it ended up on my Facebook timeline. 204 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.040 I think it's just one of those things that starts 205 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.480 to spread like crazy, and then if you follow it 206 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.560 or not, the algorithm just ends up having it in 207 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:13.079 your feed. And there was somebody referencing a standoff situation 208 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.920 where like an area of Jeffersonville, Indiana was was shut 209 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.720 down because of an active police situation, and they were 210 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.519 alluding to the details are crazy. What I'm hearing is nuts. 211 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.480 And then somebody commented on what they heard was the situation, 212 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:30.839 and I'll admit first thing I thought of, well, there's 213 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:34.080 no way that's true, because that's insane, and sure enough 214 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:39.039 it was true. So in Jeffersonville on Friday, a thirty 215 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.120 nine year old was arrested. Bryce WINNECKI believe say you 216 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:47.039 say that after a four hour standoff following the discovery 217 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.879 of a headless body inside of a nearby home. So 218 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.919 when you see somebody insinuate that there's a you know 219 00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.240 that just to me sounded like each layer that this 220 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.519 got stretched and share there was an added, I guess exaggeration, 221 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.799 But that wasn't the exaggeration because it was true. Police 222 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.399 confirmed a headless body was found at the crime scene. 223 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.919 So apparently around ten o'clock, officers responded to a welfare 224 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.000 check on Summerland Place in Jeffersonville and they found a 225 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:23.120 homicide victim. And then later that day they located the 226 00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:25.759 suspect who was armed at a home on Callaway Drive, 227 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:30.039 and that led to a tactical standoff for many hours. 228 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.759 Around three point thirty, this suspect surrendered with that incident 229 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:36.240 and was taken into custody. But yes, police confirmed a 230 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:40.759 headless body found. A severed head was later recovered in 231 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:44.480 the area, not in that home, and investigators say this 232 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.159 was a family related incident and not a random act. 233 00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:51.919 So not something you see very often somebody being arrested 234 00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:58.960 for murder and they've decapitated somebody. I mean, that's just insane, 235 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.480 for lack of a better word, and I'm sure there 236 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:04.720 are better words, but I mean insane, that's what I've got. 237 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.360 Maybe I'll figure out a better word to use moving forward. 238 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.799 So yeah, just a gruesome and heartbreaking situation there in Jeffersonville. 239 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.919 But again, they do want to stress that this is 240 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.879 not a this is there's no ongoing threat to the public. 241 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.039 It's just an isolated incident with a family situation. So 242 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:23.399 also with Jeffersonville, this we didn't talk about last week, 243 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:25.840 but they did later confirm that gat that that explosion 244 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:28.120 that took place at that home in Jeffersonville was once 245 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.440 again confirmed to be a gas leak, and one of 246 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.000 those that was injured has since passed away. So rough 247 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:38.080 rough situation there in Jeffersonville the last few weeks. All right, 248 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.399 let's get to another check of traffic and weather. We'll 249 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.080 get you caught up on the roadways. Another busier week, 250 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.360 meaning everybody's back in school. Let's I feel like this 251 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.039 is the first week where we are up and at 252 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.240 it and everybody's starting fresh on a Monday, back to 253 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:51.399 school and of. 254 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:52.919 Course back to work for a lot of people too. 255 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.679 So we'll get you through the morning here Kentucky and 256 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.320 this morning news, coffee and company with you on news 257 00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:02.000 radio waight forty whas. Thank you very much, Joe Link. 258 00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:03.559 And it is six thirty five. I'm sorry I got 259 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.600 ahead of myself. It's five thirty five. Don't worry, You're 260 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.759 not late to work. If I just put you in 261 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.639 a full panic, it's five thirty five. But it is 262 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.840 Kentucky INA's Morning News that I can confirm. And I 263 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.799 tell you what. We're off to a good Monday morning here. 264 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.720 And I know I said this last week, but why 265 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:25.240 not say it once more? I am I am amazed 266 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:29.480 would probably be an exaggeration, but just the flow of vehicles. 267 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:31.039 I don't want to say traffic because I don't sit 268 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:32.080 in traffic. 269 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:35.360 But the commute here when there's not school going on 270 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.039 in the commute here, when there is school going on 271 00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.759 in the early morning hours. I mean, I'm sure this 272 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.440 is probably an exaggeration, and I wouldn't be good at 273 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:44.639 just looking and putting throwing a number out there, but 274 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.679 I feel like it's like forty percent more vehicles on 275 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.840 the road in the morning, which just tells me how 276 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:53.759 many people are rather be their teachers, or they work 277 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.399 for the school system in some capacity, or they have 278 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.840 to get their kids somewhere to get ready to be 279 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:02.919 taken to school somewhere. But yeah, I underestimated just how 280 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:05.360 many people are up and at it earlier throughout the 281 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:08.159 early morning, whenever you've got school going on, regardless if 282 00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:11.360 it's I mean, look, there are people who maybe live 283 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.519 in Oldham County here, Spencer County, Bullet County that their 284 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:16.679 kids are in private school in Jefferson County and that 285 00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:21.000 involves a commute and whatnot. So we'll keep you updated 286 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.320 as best we can on the traffic situation. So far, 287 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.639 didn't sound like there's anything major going on, but if 288 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.440 that changes, we'll be sure to let you know. So 289 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:34.000 Joe mentioned the triathlon, the iron Man, that took place 290 00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:37.840 here in Louisville. It was yesterday, and I am I'm 291 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.679 amazed by those who are able to do these. I mean, 292 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:43.960 let alone do it and be competitive as far as 293 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.240 you know, like the amount of time you get it done. 294 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:49.279 But just doing a one point two mile swim, a 295 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.480 fifty six mile bike ride, and a thirteen point one 296 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.080 mile run, I mean doing that in general, and also 297 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.120 doing it in the summer heat. Those who participate, the 298 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:05.679 competitors absolute badasses, I mean just insane, and I don't. 299 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:07.480 I'll never I'm not gonna lie to myself and act 300 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.919 like I'll ever do one of these because I won't. 301 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:14.000 But I looked up just some average, just some numbers. 302 00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:18.639 As far as those that do participate, So women make 303 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.240 up eighteen percent of total iron Man entries. That's the 304 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.279 full distance, which I will'll admit hand up, I would 305 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.519 have guessed fewer than that, So apologies for I guess 306 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:32.759 underestimating the women that also participate in this. But in 307 00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:35.559 certain areas of the United States, female participation for iron 308 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:37.879 Man actually gets up to like twenty five percent. So 309 00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:42.399 as far as the age range, it says here that 310 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.480 recent trends show more young athletes signing up. A thirty 311 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.639 nine percent increase in first timers under the age of 312 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:53.240 thirty currently compared to twenty nineteen, and an impressive sixty 313 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:56.080 six percent growth among those that are under thirty in 314 00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:00.679 iron Man seventy point three events, So age range thirty 315 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.399 to thirty four is now the largest category for the 316 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.840 first time. So that's where most are. That's the age 317 00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:09.720 range most are in that participate in this. But again, 318 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:12.120 the youth surge has been has been. I mean even 319 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.399 those that are in their twenties, it's climbing up. So 320 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.879 again I'm jealous of all of you who are able 321 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.559 to do that. And also, more than anything, accomplishing it 322 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.879 is certainly a huge accomplishment. I doubt, I doubt there's 323 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.320 ever been anybody other than maybe someone who suffered some 324 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:32.639 type of serious injury because of it. But training for 325 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.759 a triathlon and then competing it, have you Ever, there's 326 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.799 no way anybody's regretted it, right, It's got to be 327 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.960 such a sense of accomplishment, Like for me, this is such. 328 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:43.360 A lower level of that. 329 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.279 But I always say this to people when it comes 330 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.159 to the gym and working out, like, is anybody ever 331 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.200 regretted going to the gym and working out or exercising? 332 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:53.799 Meaning like you think about it, like should I do it? 333 00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:55.480 I don't know. I don't know. 334 00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:58.240 Maybe I'll do it next week or and look, I'm 335 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.600 guilty of that too, but I've never actually going through 336 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:02.200 with getting a run in or going to the gym 337 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:05.639 and exercising and working out and not feeling like. 338 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.000 Wow, there was there was I should have done this. 339 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:10.759 This was good for me. I'm glad I did this. 340 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.919 So the training, right, those that go through, because you 341 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:18.159 don't just show up and swim what is it, one 342 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.399 point two miles and then ride your bike for fifty 343 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.600 six miles and then pull off a thirteen point one 344 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.519 mile run. You don't just say, yeah, oh, there's a 345 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:27.360 triathle on this weekend, I'm gonna sign up. I mean, 346 00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:28.840 if you did do that and you were able to 347 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.120 get it done, then you are next level badass. But yeah, 348 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.240 congratulations to all those that competed. I'm just looking at 349 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:38.000 it different iron man training. I guess programs that you 350 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:43.519 can get into and I mean you're talking probably fifteen 351 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:48.200 hours a week that is spent just training, and that's 352 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.320 what's needed. I guess to be best bet, you know, 353 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.559 to be in the best shape possible to get it done. 354 00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:56.440 So that just takes a lot of dedication and commitment 355 00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:00.480 and I envy those that can pull that off. Congrats 356 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.799 to everybody involved. All right, we've got another traffic and 357 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.279 weather update coming up, so stick around for that.

Good morning, everybody, Happy Monday. Let's welcome in 363 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.759 our friend Rory O'Neal of NBC News. Rory, when it 364 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:30.000 comes to the situation in Washington, DC, to me, it 365 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:31.600 kind of depends on who you who you want to 366 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.879 listen to, who you believe, because there's there's some numbers 367 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.519 that do back up just how dangerous Washington, DC is 368 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:39.799 as far as crime. But then there's some that will 369 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:41.639 tell you, well, hey, it's not that big of a deal. 370 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:44.799 The National Guard troops really aren't needed. What do we 371 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:46.720 know as far as what is fact and what is not? 372 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.440 And I guess how this is expected to play out. 373 00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:53.519 Well, one of the issue is are we sure we 374 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.159 have the facts right? Because there is a police commander 375 00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.960 who's gotten in trouble, who he is accused of fudge 376 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:04.759 the crime statistics, essentially under reporting what happened. Let's say 377 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:06.759 it was a shooting and he puts it down as 378 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:09.720 a simple assault or something like that, so that it 379 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:13.200 looks like he's doing a better job of managing crime 380 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:13.880 in his area. 381 00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:17.119 Now that guy's been suspended, he's appealing all that stuff. 382 00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:20.359 But that's also one of the issues that cloud's exactly 383 00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:22.319 what's happening on the ground in Washington. 384 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:22.759 Now. 385 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.720 This weekend we saw again the military flexing its muscle 386 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:31.720 quite a bit, with large vehicles and a large strong 387 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:35.519 presence by places like Union Station near the Capitol and. 388 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.799 The Washington Monument in the mall. 389 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.440 But are those really the high crime areas where they 390 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:42.079 need the attention. 391 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:43.519 It's another question that's out there. 392 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:45.599 What I can't understand is that if in fact, there 393 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:50.000 are resources being provided to a city that is clearly 394 00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:54.200 suffering from a high level of violent crime, and they're 395 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.240 there to help, what's the resistance. 396 00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:59.839 Well, for a president to call up a national go 397 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.279 and deployed troops in a state, which again is a 398 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.960 little gray here because it's the district, that's not something 399 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:12.160 that the Constitution really approves of, especially without the governor's consent. 400 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.119 We saw the same conflict when it came to California 401 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.880
