1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:01.159
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, Kentucky A.

2
00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:04.200
<v Speaker 2>It is eighth five here Kentucky, Ana's morning News on

3
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:07.960
<v Speaker 2>news radio eight to forty, whas Nick Coffee with you. So,

4
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:12.880
<v Speaker 2>the death toll is rising in regards to the flooding

5
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:16.280
<v Speaker 2>that took place in Texas. Just a tragic situation all

6
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:17.960
<v Speaker 2>the way around. There are now at least one hundred

7
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.600
<v Speaker 2>and four people that have been confirmed killed by the

8
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.640
<v Speaker 2>flooding that took place in the Guadalupe River, and there

9
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 2>are more than forty that are still missing as they

10
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:29.079
<v Speaker 2>continue to search.

11
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>So again we're.

12
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Talking about water that came down on Friday, rain I

13
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:37.600
<v Speaker 2>should say that got the water up twenty six feet

14
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 2>in just forty five minutes. So just a tragic situation

15
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:42.280
<v Speaker 2>all the way around. And we'll get more on that

16
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:44.880
<v Speaker 2>situation coming up around eight thirty when we are joined

17
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.880
<v Speaker 2>by Roy O'Neal of NBC News. So a story that

18
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:52.679
<v Speaker 2>you're going to see today from our partners WKY is

19
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 2>because it was an interview that they did last week

20
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 2>that has gotten somebody in a little bit of trouble

21
00:00:58.200 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>that was already in some trouble.

22
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>And I am I'm fascinated.

23
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 2>By those who just I guess have selective remorse because

24
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's accountability if it only kicks in.

25
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's not accountability if it only kicks in

26
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.120
<v Speaker 2>after the plea deal. So for those who haven't followed

27
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:21.079
<v Speaker 2>the Jamie Noel and again I guess the Noel family situation.

28
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.280
<v Speaker 2>He is a former Clark Ketty Sheriff, Jamie Noella is

29
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 2>and he was sentenced to twelve years in prison for

30
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:33.439
<v Speaker 2>misusing taxpayer money, in fact millions of personal expenses that

31
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 2>was coming from taxpayer funds. So he's already been found guilty.

32
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:41.359
<v Speaker 2>He pleaded guilty to twenty seven felonies and again he

33
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.400
<v Speaker 2>got twelve years in prison. Well, his estrange wife last

34
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 2>week she pled guilty to five counts of theft and

35
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 2>five counts of tax evasion for using New Chapel Ems

36
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 2>funds for personal purchases. So her plea deal was accepted

37
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.120
<v Speaker 2>last week on July the third, and she was sentenced

38
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 2>to eighteen months in prison in order to pay restitution

39
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>of over six hundred and sixty thousand dollars to New

40
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Chapel Ems and roughly thirty thousand dollars to the Indiana

41
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Department of Revenue. So right after she was sentenced, she

42
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 2>did an interview with Wie OK why and she I

43
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:19.159
<v Speaker 2>guess just felt like that was a good idea.

44
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

45
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 2>I can't speak for her, but my guess is that

46
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 2>she still wanted to try to make it out that

47
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.479
<v Speaker 2>she didn't do anything wrong. She wanted to do I

48
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.639
<v Speaker 2>guess have the last word here, because yes, the news

49
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.400
<v Speaker 2>was that she had pled guilty and had been sentenced

50
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.520
<v Speaker 2>to eighteen months in prison, but she wanted to be

51
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 2>on camera and say that she was you know, she

52
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 2>was misled by her estranged husband into believing the nonprofit

53
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.479
<v Speaker 2>was his private business, not taxpayer funded.

54
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 1>So you can't do that.

55
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.639
<v Speaker 2>And the judge Larry Medlock ruled yesterday that her statement

56
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>suggested that she did not quote knowingly and intentionally commit theft,

57
00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.159
<v Speaker 2>which undermines her plea deal. So he has ordered that

58
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, yeah says here that Medlock's order stated that

59
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 2>a guilty plea cannot stand if the defendant maintains innocence,

60
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 2>So he is scheduled a rule to show cause hearing

61
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 2>to consider setting aside the plea and possibly proceeding to

62
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 2>a trial, citing potential contempt of court for her contradictory

63
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>statements in the interview and of course when.

64
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>She actually pleaded guilty.

65
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 2>So to me, this just screams a level of arrogance

66
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 2>just to think that anybody would believe you that you

67
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 2>don't think you did anything wrong, and if anything, you're

68
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 2>just guilty of believing your husband and blaming it all

69
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 2>on him. And certainly he is guilty. He pled guilty,

70
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 2>he was sentenced to twelve years in prison. But I

71
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.639
<v Speaker 2>just to go on camera and want to act just

72
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 2>the assumption that you could then convince people that you're

73
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 2>not guilty and you did nothing wrong. And I don't know,

74
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.919
<v Speaker 2>there's arrogance, there's delusion, but again I think it's it's

75
00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:00.240
<v Speaker 2>not real remorse. And you also have to keep in mind,

76
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>like think of your audience. Did you think that anybody

77
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 2>wanted to hear you on television doing an exclusive? And

78
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it was an exclusive or not,

79
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 2>but the Olky interview is the one that ended up

80
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 2>airing the day I guess it was the day of

81
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:16.759
<v Speaker 2>four sentencings. So anyways, long story short, she had inconsistencies

82
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>with the interview she did and when she actually was

83
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.079
<v Speaker 2>was pleading guilty, and that's going to potentially come back

84
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:26.120
<v Speaker 2>to bite her. But your audience when it comes to

85
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.240
<v Speaker 2>the news channel, it's likely going to be not filled.

86
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 2>But there's probably plenty of people in Clark County that

87
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.000
<v Speaker 2>it was their tax money. It was you know, their

88
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.600
<v Speaker 2>taxpayers who their money was misused by you and your

89
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.560
<v Speaker 2>family for millions of dollars of personal expenses. I mean,

90
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 2>to I don't know, just to me, it's I don't know.

91
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's karma. Now, maybe it ends up being nothing,

92
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>But I guess there's a chance that she could end

93
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 2>up going to trial and in the plea deal be removed,

94
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and at that point, I guess she could be looking

95
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 2>at more than just an eighteen months an eighteen month sentence.

96
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think sometimes, Look, I'm sure there are

97
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.120
<v Speaker 2>This is a sad reality. There are people who pled

98
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 2>guilty and had to just lie in court and say

99
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.839
<v Speaker 2>they're guilty because they just are of the opinion that

100
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.519
<v Speaker 2>this is the best course of action because they're up

101
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.519
<v Speaker 2>against it, right, they don't have a great defense. Now

102
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.480
<v Speaker 2>there's also the Alford please, which will let you plead

103
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:23.360
<v Speaker 2>guilty but maintain innocence and claim that you are just

104
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 2>acknowledging there's enough evidence to convict you, But I just

105
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the claiming you still are completely I mean,

106
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:36.560
<v Speaker 2>to me, that's somebody who's likely to commit a similar

107
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.079
<v Speaker 2>crime again because in their mind, like this is it.

108
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.199
<v Speaker 2>Let me give you an old George Costanza line, like

109
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:43.720
<v Speaker 2>it's not a lie if you believe it. Like I

110
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.279
<v Speaker 2>think that's what a lot of people do, Like they

111
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>deep down know if they did or didn't do something,

112
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.879
<v Speaker 2>but they just convinced themselves internally mentally and live life

113
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.279
<v Speaker 2>as if like they didn't commit crimes and do awful things.

114
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, I know I'm going to be following to

115
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.399
<v Speaker 2>see what ends up happening here. But any of the

116
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Noel family has has faced charges and clearly, heart I

117
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.519
<v Speaker 2>mean I have a heart time thinking any of them

118
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:09.279
<v Speaker 2>were unaware.

119
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 1>Of what they were doing. But that's just me. All right.

120
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.399
<v Speaker 2>We've got another update of traffick in weather coming your way. Also,

121
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.879
<v Speaker 2>we'll tell you which you need to know about the

122
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 2>construction project going on on the Waters and Expressway which

123
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.959
<v Speaker 2>is going to lead to some potential traffic in the evening.

124
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:25.439
<v Speaker 2>So we'll get to that in a lot more. It's Kentucky.

125
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 2>It's morning news right here on news Radio eight forty

126
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:31.639
<v Speaker 2>whas it is eight sixteen here at Kentucky. It is

127
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Morning News with Nick Coffee on news Radio eight forty

128
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:39.759
<v Speaker 2>whas John Alden alongside. And we are going to be

129
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.279
<v Speaker 2>seeing some traffic in the evening on Waterson on the

130
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Waterston Expressway moving forward, because last night is when the

131
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.680
<v Speaker 2>I guess construction began. This is going to widen and

132
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:56.399
<v Speaker 2>improve the Waterson Expressway, and it looks as if, yeah,

133
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.360
<v Speaker 2>last night there were lane closures that started from seven

134
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 2>pm to five am this morning, and this is going

135
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.120
<v Speaker 2>to be nightly, so again keep in mind this won't

136
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:10.839
<v Speaker 2>be during the day, but that doesn't mean that despite

137
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 2>even you know, despite this not being in your typical

138
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.959
<v Speaker 2>drive time when people are going to work or coming

139
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.560
<v Speaker 2>home from work, you know, if you've got lane closures,

140
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 2>there still could obviously be some some traffic that you

141
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 2>want to be aware of. So later this week there's

142
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.000
<v Speaker 2>going to be ramp closures from the Waterston too is

143
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.639
<v Speaker 2>seventy one north and South, and it doesn't say here

144
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>as far as yeah, it doesn't look like they know

145
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.360
<v Speaker 2>what time that's going to take place, but obviously just

146
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:38.319
<v Speaker 2>be prepared. And I'm sure you know that's if you

147
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:43.160
<v Speaker 2>are somebody that is often taking this you're on Waterson

148
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.399
<v Speaker 2>often and you know you probably already know you probably

149
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.319
<v Speaker 2>you could probably see where they were starting to work

150
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:49.879
<v Speaker 2>if it was going to impact your commute, So just

151
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 2>be prepared against. The good news is that it's not

152
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.319
<v Speaker 2>going to be, you know, twenty four seven, it's not

153
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.000
<v Speaker 2>going to be during the rush hour. But Bashir yesterday

154
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.319
<v Speaker 2>announced one hundred and thirty million dollar project to increase

155
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.079
<v Speaker 2>the capacity of I two, sixty four, I seventy one

156
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.199
<v Speaker 2>and US Highway forty two, which is of course known

157
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.279
<v Speaker 2>to a lot of people as Brownsboro Road. So again,

158
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:08.680
<v Speaker 2>just be mindful of that.

159
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>All right.

160
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:14.439
<v Speaker 2>So this situation in Philadelphia is fascinating to me, and

161
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:19.720
<v Speaker 2>it's a real reminder that we should probably appreciate certain

162
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:23.120
<v Speaker 2>workers that we at times just never think about. Because

163
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>right now you have the entire I guess the entire

164
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's a union, but people who

165
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.960
<v Speaker 2>work in the sanitation department in Philadelphia, they work for

166
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.240
<v Speaker 2>the city. They are on strike, which has led to

167
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 2>nobody being able to get their trash picked up. And

168
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.919
<v Speaker 2>it's becoming more than just an I mean, it's a

169
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:45.000
<v Speaker 2>nightmare in Philadelphia. I mean, I don't know if you

170
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.279
<v Speaker 2>guys have seen some of the coverage of this story,

171
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.759
<v Speaker 2>but these guys that are on strike, guys and gals,

172
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.440
<v Speaker 2>I should say, whatever they're asking for, I wouldn't be

173
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.440
<v Speaker 2>shocked if they get it, because this is not sustainable.

174
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.600
<v Speaker 2>And it's just a reminder that if in fact, the

175
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.960
<v Speaker 2>workers that do that here in this area, if if

176
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.080
<v Speaker 2>all of them just, you know, decided to go on

177
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.960
<v Speaker 2>strike and for a month or two months or whatever

178
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:11.039
<v Speaker 2>however long it lasted, we didn't have somebody coming to

179
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:11.960
<v Speaker 2>pick up our trash.

180
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:13.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that would be that'd be.

181
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:18.279
<v Speaker 2>A disaster, right, But there's other like there's other industries

182
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.919
<v Speaker 2>that I don't think we truly realize how much we

183
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.480
<v Speaker 2>need these people in these positions, because if they just

184
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.360
<v Speaker 2>randomly stopped doing what they were doing, I mean, it

185
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:30.080
<v Speaker 2>would it would. I don't want to say it would

186
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:32.279
<v Speaker 2>shut down the world, but it would. It would cause

187
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>a major impact. I mean, let's just look at truck drivers,

188
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:40.120
<v Speaker 2>especially those that have the long haul over the road.

189
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:43.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if if there was a nationwide strike in

190
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:45.360
<v Speaker 2>some form or fashion, which I'm not even sure if

191
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.000
<v Speaker 2>that would be possible. I mean, think about grocery stores

192
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:53.519
<v Speaker 2>having shortages, fuel delays, I mean, medicine supply chain breakdowns.

193
00:09:54.679 --> 00:10:00.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean obviously the power line workers they held keep

194
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.720
<v Speaker 2>lights on quite literally, So I think, you know, not

195
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.600
<v Speaker 2>only do we realize they're important, but just the thought

196
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:10.559
<v Speaker 2>of what life would look like if they were if

197
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:12.679
<v Speaker 2>they just decided they were going on strike. And I

198
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.360
<v Speaker 2>guess a lot of it depends upon how competitive a

199
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.639
<v Speaker 2>certain industry is, right, Like you know, for example, we

200
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.399
<v Speaker 2>have a few different options here in this area as

201
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.759
<v Speaker 2>far as who picks up your trash, but there's one

202
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:25.120
<v Speaker 2>that's dominant, meaning that has way more customers here in

203
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:28.679
<v Speaker 2>the region than most. And if their employees just decided

204
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:32.120
<v Speaker 2>to say, yep, we're we're not coming back to work

205
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:35.080
<v Speaker 2>until this is taken care of and we get what

206
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.480
<v Speaker 2>we feel like we deserve, I mean, that would be

207
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.200
<v Speaker 2>it'd be a nightmare for some people. So I don't

208
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.440
<v Speaker 2>know when they're going to get any relief in Philadelphia,

209
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.799
<v Speaker 2>but the trash is everywhere, and I imagine it's just

210
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, again, it's a disaster.

211
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:49.600
<v Speaker 1>All right.

212
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.840
<v Speaker 2>We've got another update of traving on weather coming your way. Also,

213
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 2>we'll get another update on sports with Scott Fitzgerald as Kentucky.

<v Speaker 2>and Dwight. Uh, Tony, is it as big of a

219
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.480
<v Speaker 2>deal as people are making it out that Axel Rose

220
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.600
<v Speaker 2>and Ozzy Ozzy Osbourne finally met and they've never met

221
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:19.559
<v Speaker 2>until recently.

222
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:21.240
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy, That's crazy.

223
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you would know again your your roots are in

224
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.799
<v Speaker 2>rock radio, and I feel like this, I mean.

225
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:29.919
<v Speaker 3>They're the dichotomy of each other, like Axel.

226
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 1>How how is Ozzy os One still love?

227
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, but I got to tell you one

228
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.240
<v Speaker 4>of the best guys in rock ever, I mean just

229
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.360
<v Speaker 4>so accommodating, Uh you know, loved everybody, didn't treated the

230
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 4>lowliest of low to the highest of guy the same way.

231
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.879
<v Speaker 4>And Axel Rose total opposite jerk jerk phase.

232
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Now, is that from your experiences that both are just

233
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.080
<v Speaker 2>what is what is a lot of Well believe that

234
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:56.440
<v Speaker 2>my experience is that's the reputation from both correct my yeah,

235
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.799
<v Speaker 2>my experience echoes what everyone else has said in that,

236
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:02.320
<v Speaker 2>so we'll probably admit that in those days he was

237
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.399
<v Speaker 2>he was you know, he was a jerk. And I

238
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:07.639
<v Speaker 2>don't know if he is now because I haven't interviewed him,

239
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.639
<v Speaker 2>but I've Ozzie could barely speak the times that I

240
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.000
<v Speaker 2>interviewed him. But then I watched him twenty minutes later

241
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.519
<v Speaker 2>walk on stage and perform to perfection, and.

242
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.919
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, how does that happen now? He also, this

243
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 4>is twenty something years ago. He's incontinent, so he had

244
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.200
<v Speaker 4>a guy. They have somebody on stage on the side

245
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.039
<v Speaker 4>of the stage with a bucket of water, so if

246
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.360
<v Speaker 4>he goes to the bathroom on himself, they would run

247
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.639
<v Speaker 4>out and throw water on him, so it wouldn't it

248
00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't look like he did that on himself. So you know,

249
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:41.559
<v Speaker 4>he has obviously some physical limitations. But that was twenty

250
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:41.960
<v Speaker 4>years ago.

251
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, I mean, I don't mean to he

252
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:45.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't how old is he?

253
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Like, he's seventies, mid to late seventies. Yeah, okay, so

254
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.879
<v Speaker 2>late seventies. I mean I would have assumed he was

255
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.879
<v Speaker 2>ninety just because my early like Ozzy Osbourne is just

256
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the name you know as a little kid.

257
00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:59.639
<v Speaker 1>But if you remember, he was one of the first

258
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:00.879
<v Speaker 1>people Reality TV.

259
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.360
<v Speaker 3>Remember that show, and it made him look awesome. Yeah,

260
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:05.600
<v Speaker 3>oh yeah, it made him look awesome.

261
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:07.519
<v Speaker 4>But you got to understand at the beginning of his career,

262
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:10.080
<v Speaker 4>what was he famous John.

263
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Shannon, what one word answer? What was he famous for

264
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:15.600
<v Speaker 3>in the Alamo?

265
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:16.799
<v Speaker 5>Huh?

266
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:17.039
<v Speaker 4>No?

267
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:17.639
<v Speaker 3>Bats?

268
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.320
<v Speaker 5>Well that too, he bats bats. He bit the head

269
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:22.279
<v Speaker 5>off of a bat he on stage.

270
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Technically again, how was he alive?

271
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 3>He technically, he says.

272
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:27.799
<v Speaker 4>The story was he was with a bunch of record

273
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:29.879
<v Speaker 4>reps and there was something and he bit into the

274
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.399
<v Speaker 4>bat or something as right as a joke or something.

275
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.360
<v Speaker 4>He didn't bite at all, but he's been but that

276
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:37.799
<v Speaker 4>was what he was famous for. Didn't great for his career.

277
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:40.000
<v Speaker 5>See as a Texan, when you ask what he's famous for,

278
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.080
<v Speaker 5>it's for him taking a whiz in the early eighties

279
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:43.919
<v Speaker 5>on the side of the Alamo and being banned from

280
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:45.679
<v Speaker 5>performing in the state for a decade.

281
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.120
<v Speaker 1>That was just a rock stars, But that was what

282
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.240
<v Speaker 1>he did. Yeah, that's what you do, he said.

283
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:51.720
<v Speaker 5>I saw an interview with him the other day, though

284
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.039
<v Speaker 5>he said he's been able to live so long, get

285
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.320
<v Speaker 5>to seventy six like he is now because he's able

286
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:57.200
<v Speaker 5>to laugh at himself.

287
00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:58.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's that's true. No, he did.

288
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:01.759
<v Speaker 1>He did seem like Makable on that reality show.

289
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.600
<v Speaker 5>Him and Geene Simmons were like the first reality shows

290
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.600
<v Speaker 5>that put some stuff on the map for rock and roll.

291
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.200
<v Speaker 2>And why was acxul in this story because he Yeah,

292
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:12.480
<v Speaker 2>So here's what happened the Black Sabbath, Oh yeah, beginning

293
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:16.159
<v Speaker 2>farewell show over the weekend and Ozzie was there and

294
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:19.320
<v Speaker 2>shared a backstage picture on Instagram, and that was the

295
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:21.679
<v Speaker 2>first time those two had met. And I think a

296
00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:23.639
<v Speaker 2>lot of people knew that because it's a random fact.

297
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:25.559
<v Speaker 2>But there's a lot of people like myself that are

298
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:29.440
<v Speaker 2>surprised here that just given the figures that those two

299
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.919
<v Speaker 2>guys are in your time when rock radio was rock radio,

300
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:36.799
<v Speaker 2>who was the biggest name that had a presence different

301
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:38.519
<v Speaker 2>than anybody else that would Evaleen?

302
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:40.799
<v Speaker 3>Okay, he was just different.

303
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.360
<v Speaker 4>He was the only one out of everybody I met

304
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:47.240
<v Speaker 4>and we interviewed everybody. For example, one Saturday afternoon, the

00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:49.559
<v Speaker 4>hotline rings and it's my boss. He goes, Oh, I

306
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:52.240
<v Speaker 4>forgot you to tell you Foreigner and Doobie Brothers are

307
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.559
<v Speaker 4>coming in today. They're all going to play, and I

308
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:56.240
<v Speaker 4>was like, what, he goes they should be at the

309
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.279
<v Speaker 4>front door now, and I was like, what it was

<v Speaker 4>Saturday aftern They all come in, the Doobie Brothers, all guitars.

311
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:06.600
<v Speaker 4>They plug in a keyboard. Lou Graham from Foreigner backed

312
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.879
<v Speaker 4>up the Doobie Brothers on their three songs, taking it

313
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:11.440
<v Speaker 4>to the streets and China Growth. And then they backed

314
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:14.600
<v Speaker 4>up Foreigner with Lou Graham singing Cold as Ice and

315
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.240
<v Speaker 4>all that. And I'm sitting at the board interviewing all

316
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.080
<v Speaker 4>of them and they're singing that stuff happened every day.

317
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:23.039
<v Speaker 4>But Eddie was just different. Like when he walked in

318
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:25.240
<v Speaker 4>a room, it was like he floated, Yeah, a presence,

319
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:28.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah he floated, He didn't walk, And it.

320
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Was just and that was when, I mean, they were

321
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.279
<v Speaker 3>making so much money.

322
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:36.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, did you at that time realize sort of? I mean,

323
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there have been moments where you think, man,

324
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.039
<v Speaker 2>I wish I could go back to that. That was awesome,

325
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:41.399
<v Speaker 2>But did you know at the time, like.

326
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.720
<v Speaker 1>What you were, what you were as far as here we.

327
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Are, many many many years later, don't sound like a grandpa.

328
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:49.120
<v Speaker 2>But I mean those are still names that are legends

329
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:50.759
<v Speaker 2>generations later.

330
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:53.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because they was it all a blur because rock

331
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.279
<v Speaker 4>radio was the rock island.

332
00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:57.960
<v Speaker 3>The rock island got real small.

333
00:15:58.039 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 4>That's why I went to seven ninety and did sports

334
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.200
<v Speaker 4>sho because the rock island got small because rock music

335
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.879
<v Speaker 4>was dying. Uh. I got in a huge argument with

336
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:09.279
<v Speaker 4>Dave Mustaine from Megadeath originally was in Metallica because I said,

337
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:11.159
<v Speaker 4>we're telling because I went after him and said, look

338
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.000
<v Speaker 4>why rock's dying. I was like, there are no bands

339
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.519
<v Speaker 4>coming up, and he and he disagreed and arguing argued

340
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:18.440
<v Speaker 4>who ended up right?

341
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:20.720
<v Speaker 1>What killed it? Uh?

342
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Kid rock?

343
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Really?

344
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:24.720
<v Speaker 3>Rap rock? Rap rock helped killed it.

345
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:27.720
<v Speaker 4>Plus Uh, the the moment we got grunge with which

346
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:30.919
<v Speaker 4>was great rock music, we called it alternative rock, and

347
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.159
<v Speaker 4>we split it up to two different stations, so we

348
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:35.240
<v Speaker 4>played classic rock. But we should have done is played

349
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.360
<v Speaker 4>Smashing Pumpkins next to the doors. We should have played Uh,

350
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:42.200
<v Speaker 4>we should have played them next to a c DC

351
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.480
<v Speaker 4>because it belonged, and it belonged to and uh, and

352
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:47.399
<v Speaker 4>we didn't. We split them up, and it was not

353
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:48.559
<v Speaker 4>alternative rock.

354
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:48.879
<v Speaker 3>It was.

355
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.080
<v Speaker 5>It just got too fractured.

356
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:54.200
<v Speaker 4>I think yeah, but so yeah, so Rock uh pretty

357
