Speaker 1: I'd tell you what, It's been a long long time
Speaker 1: since I was a kid having to worry about summer
Speaker 1: break coming to an end. But I tell you what,
Speaker 1: I still get that anxiousness, panic attack energy whenever I
Speaker 1: see the commercials about back to school sales rather it
Speaker 1: be clothes school supplies. In fact, I now look forward
Speaker 1: to school starting because, well especially this year, because I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna have to pay for daycare anymore for my son.
Speaker 1: Both my kids will be in the school system, which,
Speaker 1: knowing they're at the same place every day, is going
Speaker 1: to be a better situation for us. So despite it
Speaker 1: being a good thing for me, as I'm now, you know,
Speaker 1: an adult, I still, I guess have PTSD from just knowing,
Speaker 1: oh my god, they're starting to show off. They're starting
Speaker 1: to promote the sales about uniform pants and school supplies
Speaker 1: and oh my god, summer's over. I still haven't fully
Speaker 1: recovered from that.
Speaker 2: I suppose.
Speaker 1: All Right, it's eight o six here at Kentucky Hada's
Speaker 1: Morning News, a news radio weight Ford Whas Coffee and
Speaker 1: Company Nick Coffee with you. Appreciate your hanging out with
Speaker 1: us as we get the week started, and next Thursday
Speaker 1: is when JCPS is going to get the school year started.
Speaker 1: And if you remember, we talked about this a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago. We're rooting for the new JCPS superintendent, doctor
Speaker 1: Brian year would because what a thankless gig. Somebody's got
Speaker 1: to do it. Things could be phenomenal first day there's
Speaker 1: I mean this I can't imagine, and maybe I have
Speaker 1: one of these jobs. I just do a good job
Speaker 1: of living in my own world and maybe being delusional,
Speaker 1: but like you could be the best that's ever been
Speaker 1: in that position ever. But like just with what that
Speaker 1: what that job is and what it comes with, there's
Speaker 1: never going to be a shortage of people telling you
Speaker 1: that you're terrible at your job or people on Facebook
Speaker 1: commenting that you know you suck and that that you
Speaker 1: know you make too much money. It like, no matter
Speaker 1: what decisions you make, and by the way, there are
Speaker 1: a lot of big important decisions. Not only can you
Speaker 1: not make the decision that's going to make everybody happy,
Speaker 1: because that's not possible. You know, people just lose their
Speaker 1: mind about stuff. So I'm rooting for doctor Brian. Hear what,
Speaker 1: who's taken over from Marty Polio. But I'm telling you
Speaker 1: the first few days of school. As far as transportation,
Speaker 1: the bus situation, there's going to be a microscope on
Speaker 1: that in a major way, and I'm hoping that they
Speaker 1: don't have any big, big goofs like they did a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. I'm not sure it could ever
Speaker 1: be as bad as it was in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: whenever it became a national news story. But what I'm
Speaker 1: urging parents to do is do your part, meaning just
Speaker 1: make sure you know where it is your kid needs
Speaker 1: to get on the bus, and you can get that
Speaker 1: information right now at the JCPS website. There's the bus
Speaker 1: Teller tool and you can figure out the bus number,
Speaker 1: the stop location, and the estimated pick up and drop
Speaker 1: off time. So having that information that's your responsibility as
Speaker 1: a parent. But also if you have any questions, they're
Speaker 1: opening up at nine o'clock this morning. They're opening up
Speaker 1: the bus hotline. You can call five OO TSO four
Speaker 1: eighty five ride and it'll be open weekdays from nine
Speaker 1: am to four pm to help a transportation related questions.
Speaker 1: They may extend those hours depending upon call volumes. So parents,
Speaker 1: do your part, and let's just fingers crossed that it
Speaker 1: could that it gets off to a good start, because
Speaker 1: you know, last I checked, when it comes to a
Speaker 1: school system, the first step is getting kids to the
Speaker 1: school and they've struggled at doing that at times. And
Speaker 1: I did mention this earlier when I mentioned it once more,
Speaker 1: for as much as they get criticized, and sometimes for
Speaker 1: obvious reasons, and I'm talking about JCPS, have you ever
Speaker 1: considered that sometimes the parents that may be loud and
Speaker 1: just obnoxious, probably on Facebook or something like that, do
Speaker 1: you ever consider that just maybe they could be like
Speaker 1: the reason they're upset is quite literally something that they
Speaker 1: did wrong, Like they are the reason because JCPS has
Speaker 1: just become the punching back.
Speaker 2: So anybody out here talking about how much.
Speaker 1: They don't like the school system or and I'm not
Speaker 1: defending them as if like they're perfect and they're they're
Speaker 1: not deserving of criticism. They certainly are in fact, sometimes
Speaker 1: in a big way. But just for a second, consider
Speaker 1: the source at times, right, like maybe they're acting as
Speaker 1: if JCPS is the worst ever and the unthinkable happened,
Speaker 1: but it's really just because like somebody tried to hold
Speaker 1: their kid accountable, or maybe somebody told them, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: your job to know what bus your six year old
Speaker 1: needs to get on. We make that information available and
Speaker 1: you need to figure it out. So let's hope it
Speaker 1: works out because I'm pulling for this guy. I can't
Speaker 1: remember just truly considering how thankless a job would be
Speaker 1: until I realized what all comes with this. And look,
Speaker 1: there's way more to it than I will ever know.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, that's just a job that no
Speaker 1: matter what, you could be great at it, you could
Speaker 1: be phenomenal, and there'll be another people to tell you
Speaker 1: if you're looking. You know, you don't have to look
Speaker 1: for it. You'll you'll know that there's some people that
Speaker 1: just think you're terrible. So let's hope it works out.
Speaker 1: But again, parents, do your part two. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get an updated look at the traffic. Bobby Ellis will
Speaker 1: get us caught up on how the roadways are looking.
Speaker 1: To get this week started, We've got another weather update
Speaker 1: coming your way with Matt Melosavich of Wlky and Elon Musk.
Speaker 1: You guys know he's like filthy rich, right, They need
Speaker 1: to come up with a new word to describe his
Speaker 1: level of wealth because it's beyond rich. But some of
Speaker 1: the things in which he could do with the money
Speaker 1: that he has. I think really puts it in perspective
Speaker 1: how filthy rich he is. We'll talk about that next
Speaker 1: right here our news Radio eight forty whas it is
Speaker 1: Kentucky and his morning news here on news Radio eight
Speaker 1: forty Whas Coffee and Company, Nick Coffee. That's me the
Speaker 1: company manage on all on alongside today. And this may
Speaker 1: surprise some of you guys, but we don't make as
Speaker 1: much money and we're not worth as much money as
Speaker 1: Elon Musk. Probably surprised aes you, I know, but we'll
Speaker 1: get there one day, maybe or maybe. Because he has
Speaker 1: reached a level of wealth that is just insane. So
Speaker 1: he's now officially worth four hundred and five point six
Speaker 1: billion dollars, projected to become the world's first trillionaire by
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. And I want you to consider just
Speaker 1: I mean, and again I don't I mean, you got
Speaker 1: to do some math here to really put it in perspective,
Speaker 1: and I'm not great at math, but thankfully there's a
Speaker 1: nice breakdown here that just gives you just some comparion,
Speaker 1: just perspective with what he has as far as his
Speaker 1: worth he could buy seventy nine NFL franchises. I mean,
Speaker 1: and by the way, I don't know if people realize
Speaker 1: how expensive the NFL franchises have become. I mean they've
Speaker 1: always been. I mean, I think Venetti said this the
Speaker 1: other day, and he's right owning a professional sports team,
Speaker 1: certainly in the NFL, And also you could say the
Speaker 1: same about MLB and NBA.
Speaker 2: I think too. That's a level of wealth that is
Speaker 2: just I.
Speaker 1: Mean talk about I mean, that's that's it's not musk,
Speaker 1: but it's probably like the next closest thing. Meaning, if
Speaker 1: if you have been enough money to buy an NFL team,
Speaker 1: you are you're in a tax bracket that the vast
Speaker 1: majority of society will never will never sniff. But here
Speaker 1: are some things that that he could he could do.
Speaker 1: As far as generosity. I'm not saying that he should
Speaker 1: trust me, because I mean, if you have the means
Speaker 1: and you want to do something great, then awesome. But
Speaker 1: I've never been somebody that just expects because someone's insanely rich,
Speaker 1: they should just give it all away or give a
Speaker 1: lot of it away. I mean they can if they do,
Speaker 1: that's great, but like there's never any like they don't
Speaker 1: have to. But right now there are three hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty million Americans. Elon Musk could give each person one
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and he'd still have seventy five billion leftover.
Speaker 2: Does that put it in perspective? John? That's absolutely they're crazy.
Speaker 2: So check this out.
Speaker 1: The total tuition total US public college tuition in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four was around eighty five billion. He could cover
Speaker 1: four point seven years of every student's tuition. I mean,
Speaker 1: think about that. And here are some things he could
Speaker 1: do and still walk away a billionaire. He could give
Speaker 1: away ninety nine point seventy five percent of his fortune
Speaker 1: and still be a billionaire.
Speaker 2: With a B Think about that. I mean, I just
Speaker 2: don't get outs.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, this is one something we can't
Speaker 1: relate to. But I'm not sure if he wanted to
Speaker 1: have every bit of money physically in hand that he
Speaker 1: is worth, it would be possible. Now a lot of
Speaker 1: times when you consider someone's worth, it's their assets, and
Speaker 1: that's really what I mean. I'm sure he's not running
Speaker 1: out of money and his checking account, But like when
Speaker 1: you get to overall worth, when you talk about these
Speaker 1: kind of numbers, even if we're talking substantially less than
Speaker 1: what Elon Musk is worth. A lot of your your
Speaker 1: value is in your assets and what you own. But yes,
Speaker 1: that's it's a lot of money. And if he wanted
Speaker 1: to give some away, I'd be I'd be grateful, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, especially with this economy. Right, So, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: rich and I'm not. So he could buy six point
Speaker 1: seven billion, Big Max and by the way, those things
Speaker 1: are six bucks a pop now too. By the way,
Speaker 1: he could buy fifty nine thousand, nine hundred and forty
Speaker 1: two Super Bowl ads and still be a billionaire. Like
Speaker 1: these are things that, like most people would never be
Speaker 1: able to afford, but he could buy that many of
Speaker 1: them me and still be a billionaire. He's rich and
Speaker 1: I'm jealous. All Right, We've got another update of traviicking
Speaker 1: weather coming your way right here, right now. Bobby Ellis
Speaker 1: will tell us how the roadways are looking this morning.
Speaker 1: Also will get an update on the weather from Matt
Speaker 1: Melosovitch Scott Scott Sports for You, and then John Shannon
Speaker 1: with the News around eight thirty and then Rory O'Neal
Speaker 1: of NBC News set to join us. So we're loaded
Speaker 1: the rest of the way don't go anywhere, keep it
Speaker 1: locked right here on news Radio eight forty whas good
Speaker 1: Monday morning, thanks for hanging out with us here on
Speaker 1: Kentucky and his morning news Coffee and company with you
Speaker 1: on news Radio eight forty whas Tony Venetti alongside as
Speaker 1: Tony and Dwid are coming your way here here shortly.
Speaker 1: I said this earlier, and it's probably an exaggeration. It's
Speaker 1: probably because I'm I'm not built tough as some others
Speaker 1: out there. In fact, I'm not building stuff as a
Speaker 1: lot of people. But if you don't have to go
Speaker 1: outside today, Tomorrow, Wednesday, just don't do it, yeah, because
Speaker 1: it's the humidity is gross, it'll smack you in the face,
Speaker 1: and the heat wave is here. And I bet the
Speaker 1: walk from your vehicle to the phenomenal studios.
Speaker 2: We have here at iHeart Louisville at four Street Live
Speaker 2: like it's probably a sweaty, a sweaty two minute walk.
Speaker 3: I've committed to doing six miles a day walking and
Speaker 3: no matter what it is, two two and two or
Speaker 3: three and three doesn't matter. If you get out and
Speaker 3: start trucking, sometimes you get used to it. But at
Speaker 3: fifty six years old, there are times and I stop
Speaker 3: halfway through and go, all right, I'm having another heart attack.
Speaker 1: Well, don't scare us like that. And by the way,
Speaker 1: this is this is something that I've probably told you before.
Speaker 1: You're I don't know anybody that would do this. But
Speaker 1: if I if I was ever asked, hey, do you
Speaker 1: know anybody that that that you would consider a friend
Speaker 1: that would have a heart attack and nearly die and
Speaker 1: then like randomly bring it up in conversation months later,
Speaker 1: that's what you did. I think I think I realized
Speaker 1: you almost died from one of your mini commercials. I
Speaker 1: mean it might have been it like, wait a second,
Speaker 1: you almost died and you didn't tell me.
Speaker 2: Going on, stuff happens. Yeah, I got lucky.
Speaker 1: Well, before we handed off to to Tony and Dwight,
Speaker 1: I wanted to so John Harbaugh. He is the coach
Speaker 1: of the Ravens and he recently I don't know what
Speaker 1: led to him meeting Donald Trump or some whatever photo
Speaker 1: op took place, but that led to a reporter with
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Banner named Kyle Goon who asked Harball about
Speaker 1: meeting Trump. And I want you guys to hear this
Speaker 1: sound because I just this to me was a real
Speaker 1: like it's not that surprising in the grand scheme of things,
Speaker 1: but to know that people, even if you are very
Speaker 1: much a Democrat and you're not a fan of Trump,
Speaker 1: I mean, I would just assume that people want the
Speaker 1: country to be in a good place. Therefore the president
Speaker 1: of the country, you would think would need to be
Speaker 1: impactful in that. But this was a pretty firey exchange
Speaker 1: from from Harball and this reporter, and I thought it
Speaker 1: was worth sharing.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 4: Pasked Donald Trump that said, you know, denigrating things how
Speaker 4: Baltimore and putting.
Speaker 2: No dus who wants to live there? Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: as a prominent representative of him.
Speaker 4: Well, well you frame that question. I would frame the
Speaker 4: question like, you got a chance to go visit with
Speaker 4: the president. Man, what was that experience?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 4: It was amazing, It was awesome. And I promise you
Speaker 4: I root for our president. You know, I want our
Speaker 4: president to be successful, just like I want I want
Speaker 4: my quarterback to be successful and I want my team
Speaker 4: to be successful. Uh and uh, And it was. It
Speaker 4: was an amazing experience. You know. It's it's not often
Speaker 4: you get invited and you get a chance to do
Speaker 4: something like that as a family. You know, we were there,
Speaker 4: My daughter was there, Jim's daughters were there, My mom
Speaker 4: and dad were there. Uh my mom and President Trump,
Speaker 4: you know, was just seeing the how he treated her
Speaker 4: was was really meaningful, you know. And that's the fourth president.
Speaker 4: Now Jim met seven. Jim has met seven presidents, so
Speaker 4: he's got the lead on me. I think he pointed out,
Speaker 4: did you guys notice that, right, He's got seven. I
Speaker 4: got four. So I had a chance to meet President
Speaker 4: Obama twice, incredible experience. Had a chance to meet President
Speaker 4: Biden when he was vice president in Iraq and spend
Speaker 4: a lot of time with him in Iraq, which was amazing.
Speaker 4: And then you know, twenty four to twenty five years old,
Speaker 4: Jim got invited also to the White House to meet
Speaker 4: President Reagan because he was a Heisman Trophy candidate and
Speaker 4: we got to go as a family. So I'm met
Speaker 4: President Reagan, have a picture in my office to that.
Speaker 4: So those are moments that I definitely cherish and it
Speaker 4: means a lot.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he could have answered that any better.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that everybody would have to agree
Speaker 1: with him and they would view the experience.
Speaker 2: The same way.
Speaker 1: But that used to be put it on a t
Speaker 1: that's the answer that you give regardless if you're red, blue, left, right,
Speaker 1: you get a chance to meet the president. That take
Speaker 1: away their politics. It's just I mean, if we're Americans,
Speaker 1: don't we want regardless of what side you're on, don't
Speaker 1: we want things to I don't know, just it was.
Speaker 2: An eye opener for me.
Speaker 3: Every SID in America needs to show this video to
Speaker 3: every coach in America and say this is how you
Speaker 3: do it. Either side doesn't matter or this is perfection
Speaker 3: in an answer because he turned it into he's the
Speaker 3: president of the United States. As matter of fact, I've
Speaker 3: met all of them. So if you're just gonna narrow
Speaker 3: it into right, that's exactly right. Yes, And the reporter
Speaker 3: probably he looks stupid now, I mean, it's a it
Speaker 3: is a legit question, I guess, even though it is
Speaker 3: training camp and we're talking about football and and all
Speaker 3: of us are waiting for it. But this is a
Speaker 3: perfect this is an answer in perfection, and they every
Speaker 3: SID needs to and in the NFL, this is how you.
Speaker 2: Answer that question.
Speaker 3: And when you go over the top like that, it's
Speaker 3: so it's just it disarms everybody in the room and
Speaker 3: goes okay, because we've gotten to a point. And I
Speaker 3: saw it with my kids to where in high school
Speaker 3: some of them started to divide to a point of
Speaker 3: they weren't friends with other people that at some point
Speaker 3: because the first Trump time around, because they were they
Speaker 3: were Trump people, and the other one weren't. And they
Speaker 3: weren't talked to the other one. And I was like,
Speaker 3: you mean you're not talking to him anymore because and
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's.
Speaker 2: That didn't used to be blew my mind.
Speaker 3: It blew my mind, and I was so upset and
Speaker 3: not only lasted a couple of years before they figure
Speaker 3: it out. Uh, that's in dating world now, like you
Speaker 3: see that online whether like can I date a maga?
Speaker 3: And it's like, are you serious? I mean, this has
Speaker 3: been going on forever. My dad was conservative, my mother
Speaker 3: was a liberal. Right, they figured it out. I mean
Speaker 3: they were in love and that's what happened.
Speaker 1: And that didn't used to be considered really rare, right,
Speaker 1: that was just no lifleast that we are very much
Speaker 1: were divided. We're at war with one another about certain things.
Speaker 1: And I just thought, regardless of I just thought that
Speaker 1: was worth for people to hear, because again, like you said,
Speaker 1: you could have answered it better.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh crushed it.
Speaker 1: I mean that.
Speaker 2: Pay attention. Yeah, record and play it.
Speaker 1: I've learned though, anytime I talked Trump to an extent,
Speaker 1: there's going to be some people that don't like what
Speaker 1: I say. Regardless of what I said. Please, somebody accuse
Speaker 1: me of you and somebody accused me of being a
Speaker 1: watcher of the View. I thought that was actually pretty good.
Speaker 1: That's actually how they know. Do you tell them I've
Speaker 1: been watching the View. I've watched the View every day.
Speaker 1: It's a best show out there.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that was still long.
Speaker 1: It's actually going on a little bit of a hiatus.
Speaker 1: We'll we're a big fan. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: She shusld be cool. Sister used to be sister, used
Speaker 3: to be Yeah, she's playing none.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's satire. It is so bad. That
Speaker 1: show is so bad. We're out of time. Tony Dweter
