WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.080 Good Thursday morning, Kentuckyana. It is Kentuckyana's morning news here 2 00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:08.160 on news Radio eight forty whas Nick Coffee, John ald 3 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:11.560 On alongside John Shannon. You just heard him with his 4 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:14.039 latest newscast, Got Fitzgerald's Got Sports coming your way in 5 00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.239 about twenty minutes as we continue to ride out this 6 00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.839 heat wave. I mentioned earlier. When I think of just 7 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.039 these types of conditions and just how brutal it is outside, one, 8 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.719 I always remind myself, well, one, I'm really weak, but 9 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:33.280 also it could be a lot worse, right, I mean, 10 00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.600 I don't have to work outside, thankfully, and there's many 11 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:38.880 that do, and they've done it a long time, so 12 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:40.880 shout out to them. On the talkback feature, which if 13 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.719 you listen to news Radio eight forty whas on the 14 00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.240 iHeart Radio app, you can always just hit that microphone 15 00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:50.799 button and there you go. It'll it'll prompt you and 16 00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:52.280 in fact, I think what it'll do the first time, 17 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.119 will it'll it'll ask you to allow the app to 18 00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:57.560 let you use the microphone on your phone, and then 19 00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:02.000 you can say whatever you want at somebody earlier who 20 00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.200 chimed in when we were discussing the heat and just 21 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.640 how bad I feel for those who have no AC 22 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:10.120 at all right now, rather it be in their vehicle 23 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.719 or their house, which unfortunately there's people like that. I mean, 24 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.719 our own Scott Fitzgerald's been riding around in a car 25 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.359 with no AC and I feel for him, but hey, 26 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.959 he's tougher than me. And also we have a listener 27 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:21.719 who wanted to shout out to her husband on the 28 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.319 talkback feature, and he's tougher than me too. Doesn't take 29 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.640 much to be tougher than me, if I'm being real 30 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:28.599 with you, But her husband certainly is. 31 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.439 Good morning, Nick. This is Betty and Firm Creek. I 32 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:36.920 hate the heat and humidity, but I feel really bad 33 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.040 for my husband. He's an electrician, he has to work 34 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:44.159 out in this heat. They're in Jeffersonville right now working 35 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.920 on the Meta Center. No, just shade from the building. 36 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.640 Air Conditioning is the best invention in the world. Thanks 37 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:53.680 you doing a great job. 38 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:58.079 Thank you, Betty, and your husband again, much tougher than me. 39 00:01:58.920 --> 00:01:59.719 Shade can help. 40 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.920 But but this type of just humidity and stickiness here, 41 00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:06.480 I'm complaining about just the thought of being outside for 42 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.560 a long stretch of time with no AC, or maybe 43 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:11.479 being in a vehicle to where I can't turn on 44 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.599 air conditioning. It is a great invention that we should 45 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.319 never take for granted. And I realize how fortunate I am, 46 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.919 because there's many that are maybe outside right now working 47 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.520 and it's already hot, it's already human, and it's already sticky. 48 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.240 So again, thank you for chiming in and sharing that. 49 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:25.520 Betty. 50 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.319 Again, it is the talkback feature on our iHeartRadio app 51 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.280 if you are if you're unfamiliar, all right, So the 52 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.599 Crystal Rodgers' case continue the trial, I should say, And 53 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.199 of course she's not on trial. She's someone who has 54 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.599 been missing for ten years now, of course presumed dead. 55 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:46.520 And the defense in this case there as you could expect, 56 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.080 going to highlight that there is nobody, there is no 57 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.520 physical evidence, and I believe one of the attorneys yesterday 58 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:56.400 for Brooks how highlighted that they're just guesses. They're just 59 00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:03.000 guessing on their end, and that's fair, meaning there's not 60 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.039 any real direct proof. There's no physical evidence, there's no body, 61 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:07.639 and that of course is going to lead to a 62 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.000 real challenge in proving without a shadow of a doubt 63 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.199 to a jury that brooks Howk is guilty. Now, there 64 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.400 have been many cases where you do, in fact have 65 00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:22.800 a guilty verdict from a jury that had similar a 66 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.599 similar situation, meaning where there wasn't maybe there wasn't a body, 67 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.719 and it was really based off of a lot of 68 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:33.520 circumstantial evidence, strong but certainly circumstantial. So what stood out 69 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.120 to me not that I'm a detective by any means, 70 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.360 and certainly wouldn't be able to litigate at all, but 71 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.080 the phones are always, I think, a smoking gun when 72 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:49.120 it comes to evidence. Now, again, your phone being in 73 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.560 an area when something happens doesn't prove that you did anything, 74 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:56.759 but it makes it at times just so highly unlikely 75 00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:00.280 that that would be a coincidence. And of course quincidence 76 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.520 is sometimes even if they just seem well that there's 77 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.759 no way that's a coincidence, it's not proof. It doesn't 78 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:07.879 mean that that's going to be enough to convince a jury. 79 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.719 But I am very fascinated with this case, and I'm 80 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.719 telling you, each day I feel like I learn about 81 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:18.639 a new documentary or crime TV show, podcast, whatever it 82 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.399 may be, that featured this this story, and it's because 83 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.800 of just how interesting it is to a lot of people, 84 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.879 not just here in the area but across the state. 85 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.120 So again, we'll have more as this plays out, and 86 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.079 I'm anxious to see where it goes from here and 87 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:39.759 the family, as you could expect, very emotionally yesterday, those 88 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:41.480 that are able to cover this as far as local 89 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.000 media reporters and it's not just local, it's national, but 90 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.439 there's no technology allowed, so it's just that's why you 91 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.920 see the courtroom paintings and whatnot. But they are giving 92 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.360 updates as far as what is seen whenever there are 93 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.120 breaks during the trial and when it concludes for the day, 94 00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.360 And as you could expect, the Rogers family, I'm sure 95 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.240 this is something that they're the emotional roller coaster that 96 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.160 comes with this. I mean, first of all, I can't 97 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.439 even begin to imagine just what they've gone through. But 98 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.519 now they're here to where they've got a chance to 99 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.120 hopefully get justice in their mind for someone, in fact 100 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.800 multiple people who they believe played a role in the 101 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:20.639 disappearance and likely death of their family member, their daughter, 102 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.720 I mean the mother. Again, I see reports from those 103 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.480 that were there covering it that it was an emotional 104 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.639 day and that's certainly to be expected. 105 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:29.399 All right. 106 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:33.839 Trafficking weather updates coming your way, and it's summertime, meaning 107 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.240 vacations are happening as we speak. Vacation's coming up here 108 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.120 in the next couple of weeks, but there's a later 109 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.480 there's a survey that tells us the best and worst 110 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.600 parts of vacation and makes me realize I'm vacationing. I 111 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.480 think a little bit different than most. So we'll get 112 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.240 to that and more. It's Kentucky and it's morning news 113 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:53.199 right here on news Radio eight forty whas seven point 114 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.560 sixteen here Kentucky, and is Morning News with Nick Coffee 115 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.360 on News Radio eight forty whas. I know a couple 116 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.480 people on bigation right now. My vacation are annual summer 117 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.160 vacations coming up at the very beginning of August. Then 118 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.759 I'm certainly looking forward to it. Vacations are very much 119 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:12.160 needed and they're awesome. And even if you don't go 120 00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:16.439 somewhere to take a vacation, vacations can just be vacating 121 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.079 from the workplace, and man, that can go a long way. 122 00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.199 So I'm sure there are some that aren't traveling like 123 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.279 they used to because of the economy and whatnot, and 124 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.360 I totally get it. But if you have a job, 125 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.800 and most do give you some type of time off. 126 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.839 I mean make sure you use it. I was in 127 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.480 a situation a few years back where I ended up 128 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:38.279 rolling over some days because I just it got to 129 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:39.480 the end of the year and I didn't want to 130 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:40.959 take them because it was at a time when there 131 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.079 was a lot going on in sports that i'd want. 132 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:44.480 It was good for me to be on the air 133 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.639 to discuss big things going on, but I wish I 134 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.360 could get those back. So anyways, vacation season is upon us, 135 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:54.279 and we have an updated survey here and this is 136 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.959 from let's see Talker Research for cheap This is the 137 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.839 Talker Research is where they came from. But they surveyed 138 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.399 two thousand American travelers. And let's talk about some of 139 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:08.720 the best parts of vacation and the worst parts of vacation. 140 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:13.480 According to two thousand Americans who were asked, the best 141 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.800 parts of vacation, people claim is trying new foods. That 142 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.720 got thirty eight percent. Americans crave culinary adventures, with nearly 143 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:24.160 four and ten ranking tasting local or novel dishes as 144 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.759 a vacation highlight. I would agree, you know, when we 145 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.040 go to our trip, on our trip, every year. We 146 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.959 now they're not new to us anymore, but local restaurants 147 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.519 that are in a place that you go for vacation, 148 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.519 regardless if it's a big tourist attraction, meaning the vacation destination, 149 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:42.399 or if it's just a place that you kind of 150 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.439 feel like is your own, because not as many people 151 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:46.639 see it as a tourist spot. 152 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:48.879 I mean, I enjoy it. 153 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:51.439 Certainly makes the trip a lot more expensive if you 154 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.720 eat out a lot while going on vacation, But there's 155 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.879 certain restaurants that when we think about our vacation coming 156 00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:58.879 up and it's just a few weeks away, I mean, 157 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:00.399 one of the first things I think about is getting 158 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:01.959 one of those getting to one of those restaurants that 159 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.199 I only go to once a year whenever I end 160 00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:08.519 up in DestinE. So the other top option at thirty 161 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:12.839 six percent was visiting new places, exploring unfamiliar destinations totally 162 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:16.040 makes sense. And then right at number three, which these 163 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.600 are all relatively close. These are just your top three, 164 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:21.199 and they're all pretty competitive as far as what people 165 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:25.000 like the most about vacation is relaxation. Of course that's 166 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:28.079 to me, that's like the most important thing. But vacationing 167 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.040 with young children, it's hard to find that relaxation. At 168 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.840 times you need a vacation from the vacation. My kids 169 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:35.519 are getting little bit older where that's not as much 170 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.399 of an issue. But John, you will be there at 171 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.399 some point. Brother, I'm telling you. 172 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:40.639 You've always put the fear in me. I don't think 173 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:43.360 you've done it on purpose, but you've always I've told 174 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:44.960 you about my trips with me and my wife the 175 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.320 last couple of years by ourselves, and how I like 176 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:49.000 driving in the car, and you're like, oh, we'll see 177 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:50.919 how that goes along whenever you have your own kids. 178 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.240 Well, man, I'll tell you what you were right, because 179 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.200 you got to see the anxiety build when you and 180 00:08:58.200 --> 00:08:59.559 I were working. For those who know, John was the 181 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.960 producer of my sports show, and he and I were 182 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:04.440 partners on the air doing sports in the afternoon for 183 00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:06.240 a good stretch and had a lot of fun. And 184 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:07.960 now we're reunited and it's and it's great. But he 185 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.399 just reminded me that when I had a vacation coming up, 186 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.919 he could see the anxiety building throughout the week, and 187 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.039 it all rooted from the travel, it all rooted from 188 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.320 getting there and just fingers crossed that my kids are 189 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:21.000 well behaved and really to be. Just to be blunt, 190 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:25.399 it's my daughter. She's with her autism and her intellectual disability. 191 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:27.600 You know, with travel, there's just there's a lot of 192 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.000 a lot of unknown as far as what's going to 193 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:32.879 be a smooth situation for her or maybe what's going 194 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:34.759 to be something that we gotta we got to deal 195 00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:36.720 with and we will and you know, it's life, and 196 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:38.279 I wouldn't have it any other way. 197 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:41.159 But just the unknown is what always it always worries me. 198 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:41.840 But I'll tell you what. 199 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:45.320 Miss Daisy is so young that if you guys, you know, 200 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.159 I don't know, you're not planning any big trips this summer, 201 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.120 I don't believe. But if you do in the next 202 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:50.720 I don't know year or so, it'll be at an 203 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:55.200 age range to where hopefully she can just sleep, you know, 204 00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:56.200 it would be good. 205 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.879 Yeah, But when it comes to little ones, you really 206 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:00.519 don't know. It's true, they don't. 207 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:02.440 They don't give it a whole lot of thought when 208 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.679 there's when they're so young, about how they're going to 209 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:06.679 behave or how what their mood's going to be like. 210 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.240 So it's right, just the roll of the dice, there's 211 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:10.480 no doubt about it. We'll take a look at this 212 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.159 list coming up a little bit later, meaning the survey, 213 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.039 I should say, with the biggest gripes people have from vacation. 214 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:17.679 We'll get to that later, but first let's get. 215 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:20.200 An update on traffic and weather and another sports update 216 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.440 right here on news radio eight forty whas. Thank you, John, 217 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:26.960 it is Kentucky ANDAs morning news here on news Radio 218 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.519 eight forty whas Nick Coffee with you, John All on 219 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.720 the alongside. We'll have Scott Fitzgial back in about ten 220 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.679 minutes for another sports update. But we were discussing with 221 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:38.159 vacation season being upon us and many of you might 222 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:41.039 even be on vacation right now, there's a survey that 223 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:46.240 tells us the best parts of vacation and the worst 224 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.720 parts of vacation, meaning the highlights, and I guess they 225 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.720 word it on the downside as the gripes. So we 226 00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:56.759 mentioned the highlights being trying new foods in the area 227 00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:01.240 that you're vacationing, visiting new places, just exploring unfamiliar destinations, 228 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:04.720 and relaxing. Those were the three most mentioned when it 229 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.840 comes to the highlights of vacations, which I think all 230 00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.240 those add up. I can tell you from my perspective 231 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.879 when it comes to vacation, those are three big priorities 232 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:16.519 for sure. Now the biggest gripes the worst parts. This 233 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:21.559 one makes total sense, but because it's completely out of 234 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:25.399 your control in most instances I try. I guess this 235 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:27.240 is me realizing that I do it. Time to take 236 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:29.799 my own advice, and that is, don't get worked up, 237 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.440 don't worry about things you can't control. Don't let it 238 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:36.600 consume your energy and ruin your mood and whatnot. Because 239 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:38.679 you can't control it. There's nothing you get it done 240 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:38.960 about it. 241 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:39.159 Right. 242 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.320 If your plane's delayed, you're not at fault. It sucks 243 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.919 for sure. But travel delays that was listed as the 244 00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:51.440 biggest gripe. Forty two percent mentioned that, So flight cancelations, 245 00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:54.720 traffic or other delays, and look the delay. You can 246 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.960 just be late, You can procrastinate and lead to yourself 247 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.600 missing your flight. At that point, there is there is 248 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.399 some some of some of you would probably just have 249 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.759 to look in the mirror. And then another one though 250 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:08.360 bad weather like you can't control that. We went to 251 00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:12.759 Navarre for spring break at the beginning of April and 252 00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:16.480 that's near Destin down there in Florida, and we had 253 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.279 awful weather and it did impact the trip, but I 254 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.240 knew that it was I mean, it's just it's just, 255 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:22.679 you know. 256 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:23.240 Bad luck. 257 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.440 Also, I didn't realize that that part of Florida, if 258 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.000 you are going to get sort of a week where 259 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:29.679 it's just kind of gloomy and rainy, I guess that 260 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:31.240 that's the that's the week it could happen, or at 261 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:34.639 least that time of the year. And then big crowds 262 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:37.279 and long lines came in at number three. As far 263 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.440 as vacation gripes, Yeah, that's that's where we're starting to 264 00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:44.679 I mean, I don't think we'd ever move our family 265 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.559 vacation to anywhere other than where we go. And I 266 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:49.279 know many people go to Destin. There may be people 267 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.080 listening right now on on the out radio app because 268 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:55.039 they're vacationing in Destin and has in the morning is 269 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:57.399 just a big part of their their everyday routine, regardless 270 00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.519 if they're on vacation or not so so shout out 271 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:02.480 to you. But it is exploded over the years as 272 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:04.279 far as just the amount of people who go there. 273 00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:08.200 It still has the everybody from Louisville there at any time, 274 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:11.039 I mean anytime we go, and we've stayed to different 275 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:14.240 different condos and whatnot throughout the many years we've gone 276 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:17.039 as a family with my wife and our daughter initially 277 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.480 and then now my son. Now we've probably gone. This 278 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.679 will be our ninth straight year going as a family. 279 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:27.159 So each year we go, it's more crowded and we 280 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.399 see more people who in fact, you realize, oh, they've 281 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:32.200 got a Jefferson County, Kentucky license plate right here, and 282 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.720 they're staying in the same place we are. So we 283 00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:36.759 like it so much that the crowd hasn't bothered us. 284 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:38.759 But when you go and try to get dinner or 285 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:40.679 try to just make a run to the grocery, you 286 00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:42.679 hit traffic that's just going to take you a lot 287 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:44.720 of time, and that is a little bit annoying. But 288 00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:46.960 it's not gotten to the point where we've decided to 289 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.080 go somewhere else. But I know there's plenty that once 290 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:53.519 their vacation spot becomes a vacation spot for many many others, 291 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.440 it loses a lot of its luster. And I totally 292 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.799 totally understand. We used to get lucky because we could 293 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:03.600 go in I guess what would be the down season 294 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:08.559 for Destined. But now once once my daughter started school 295 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:11.159 and my son will be in kindergarten starting this upcoming 296 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.919 school year. You know, we we you know, we we 297 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:15.919 have to go when everybody goes, right, we can't go 298 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.039 to Yeah, we would go in late August before the 299 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.519 kids were in school because at that point we had 300 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.879 just missed the big crowd. Because most people who go 301 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:27.080 as a family, they've got to be back in their hometown, 302 00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.240 can't be taking vacations right as school starts. So now 303 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:31.720 we go when everybody's trying to go. And it's still 304 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:34.600 been fun, but definitely a lot, a lot busier. 305 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:35.279 John. 306 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:38.000 I know the vacation that you guys went on, was 307 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:39.960 it last summer? You went up north to the northeast. 308 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:41.799 We went to coastal Delaware. 309 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:43.840 See that's so I don't know anybody else that's made 310 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:45.120 a trip and just said, hey, we're going to go 311 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:47.480 on vacation and we're going to go to coastal Delaware. 312 00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:49.240 I don't know much about coastal Delaware. It's just not 313 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:51.000 something that comes up in mind for a lot of people, 314 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:53.159 I think when it comes to vacation. But I like 315 00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:54.879 those kind of trips because there had to be a 316 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:56.720 lot of unknown, like you didn't know what to expect, right. 317 00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:58.600 Oh, absolutely, I mean it was. It's about as similar 318 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:00.360 drive as if you're going to floor or are You're 319 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.039 just going in a bit of a different direction. And 320 00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.679 there's a lot of the same types of things, seafood restaurants, 321 00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:07.480 that sort of stuff, but it's a different environment than 322 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:10.159 the typical, you know, way that you travel to get there, 323 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:12.559 and then obviously when you actually get there as well, 324 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.600 the beach on the eastern part of the United States 325 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:17.360 is a lot different than it is down in the South. 326 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.240 Sometimes just being in a place that is new to 327 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:23.240 you and it's a new experience that can be a 328 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:24.879 huge factor and you just enjoying it. 329 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.639 Oh yeah. I try to. 330 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.240 Balance trips every year to somewhere that I've not been before, 331 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.879 just to experience new things. But I also like, we 332 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:35.879 know what we like. We go to the same place 333 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:40.480 every year, and we we literally have almost every day 334 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:44.279 planned out. And that has not made it to where 335 00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:46.200 I'm oh, this is getting bold, this is getting boring, 336 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.720 this is getting old. No, it's we like it, and 337 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.360 I don't see that changing anytime. Soon, But I will 338 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:55.279 say planning, it's all Life's all about balance. I don't 339 00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:57.440 like to have an itinerary when I'm on vacation because 340 00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:59.399 i feel like I'm at work and I'm supposed to 341 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.240 just kind of let the day play out because I'm 342 00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.799 I'm relaxing. But also it is good to have plans. 343 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:07.279 And my wife she does all that, and at times 344 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:08.360 it seems annoying, but. 345 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:10.159 She's built for it. 346 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.200 She's she's always, she's she's a great trip planner, and 347 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:16.639 I just I just show up and then she does 348 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:18.600 a lot of the work, which makes it pretty easy 349 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:20.919 for me. But thank you for doing that always, honey. 350 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.039 All right, let's take a quick time out to get 351 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:25.240 you caught up on traffic and weather.

So news ready to wait forty whas. 363 00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.120 Seven forty seven Here a Kentucky and his morning News 364 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:03.320 with Nick Coffee on who was radio eight forty whas. 365 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:09.519 So we had the first day of testimony yesterday opening 366 00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:14.440 statements in witness testimony in the Crystal Rogers case and 367 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.759 the let me make sure I've got it correct, yees. 368 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.920 So the prosecution they're aware that they you know that 369 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:24.920 they're they're facing what I believe is kind of an 370 00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:25.599 uphill battle. 371 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:27.279 Maybe not, maybe I'm wrong. Again, what do I know? 372 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:29.519 I'm not somebody that would would be able to tell 373 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:31.279 you when it comes to a legal aspect, But no 374 00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:34.839 body homicide and really no evidence that's anything other than circumstantial. 375 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:37.759 Just seems to be an uphill battle. But maybe that 376 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.720 still leads to them having some success. But the conspiracy 377 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.200 allegations is that the mother of Brooks Hawk, Rosemary Hawk, 378 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.680 believed that Rogers was beneath the family and that she 379 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.799 discussed hiring someone to quote unquote get rid of Rogers. 380 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:57.039 With Danny Singleton, who is a witness, and he reportedly 381 00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.400 told her quote, if you have enough money, you can 382 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:04.599 get anything done, end quote. So that's the conspiracy aspect 383 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.200 of it. And then cover up evidence. So the Lawsons, 384 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.240 the father and son duo, Joseph Lawson, his cell phone 385 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:14.640 pinged cell towers near the Bluegrass Parkway on July fourth, 386 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.599 twenty fifteen, which is consistent with the location where her 387 00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:21.079 car was found. Stephen Lawson in his trial, that's the father. 388 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:23.880 He admitted to picking up his son Joseph after moving 389 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:28.160 her car which had a flat tire. And obviously the 390 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:32.039 Hawk family involvement, it's not just the mother. Obviously Nick Hawk, 391 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:35.319 who used to be a police officer. The prosecution has 392 00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:40.680 planned to present a recorded conversation between Brooks and his mother, Rosemary, 393 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:44.160 discussing the other brother, Nick Hawk, who's a police officer. 394 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:47.000 They were discussing his police cruiser which was searched. They 395 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:50.920 also allegedly I'm sorry. They also alleged that the Hawk 396 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:55.119 family secretly recorded in twenty fifteen their grand jury proceedings 397 00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:58.200 to basically get their story straight, and those recordings were 398 00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:03.839 found at Rosemary and Hawke's homes. So that's what they 399 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:06.640 threw out there yesterday as far as hey, here here's 400 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.920 timeline discrepancies, here is the conspiracy aspect of it, and 401 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.160
