Speaker 1: Thank you, Joe. It is six o four here Kentucky.
Speaker 1: This Morning News with Nick Coffee on news Radio eight
Speaker 1: forty WHAS take us with you wherever you go this morning.
Speaker 1: Listen live on the iHeartRadio app. Also listen live at
Speaker 1: WHAS dot com. I do want to remind folks this
Speaker 1: started last week, but we are now into phase two
Speaker 1: of the routine inspections on the Clark Memorial Bridge, and
Speaker 1: with Phase two starting today, this is actually when traffic
Speaker 1: is more so expected to be an issue. So if
Speaker 1: you're somebody that commutes across that bridge, Clark Clark Memorial
Speaker 1: expects some delays and look, if I'm wrong and the
Speaker 1: delays weren't there, then good. But it was something that
Speaker 1: they wanted to point out that when Phase two starts,
Speaker 1: which again today June sixteenth, that's when apparently the inspectors
Speaker 1: are going to be climbing the bridge's steel trust to
Speaker 1: examine the upper steel beams, and apparently that will cause
Speaker 1: more of a delay because of what goes into that.
Speaker 1: So just be prepared and if you have, you know
Speaker 1: your you've got a way. And I remember last week,
Speaker 1: whenever we talked about this, I was acting as if
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of different routes you can take, and no,
Speaker 1: there's actually not, because there's only a few bridges when
Speaker 1: it comes to getting to Kentucky and Louisville. So just
Speaker 1: keep that in mind, folks. You've also, as you could expect,
Speaker 1: talked a lot about the assassination that took place on
Speaker 1: Friday and a near one that took place as well
Speaker 1: not long after it, and just just an absolutely tragic situation.
Speaker 1: And we did talk with Rio and Nei a little
Speaker 1: bit earlier. And I shouldn't feel this way, but there's
Speaker 1: nothing this suspect could say that would in any way
Speaker 1: make anything. I mean, it's part of me says no.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear anything. There's nothing he could
Speaker 1: say that that would justify what he did by killing
Speaker 1: two people and attempting to kill two others. But I
Speaker 1: am intrigued to kind of hear, you know what, what
Speaker 1: led to somebody being just this awful and insane. I
Speaker 1: think we have some ideas as far as what the
Speaker 1: motive is. But if you ever found yourself being interested
Speaker 1: in true crime to you know, my daughter loves those
Speaker 1: and I've never felt bad about it, and I don't overall.
Speaker 1: But you know, there's there's part of me that at
Speaker 1: times like, well, maybe we're giving this awful person what
Speaker 1: they want. They get this level of attention and notoriety,
Speaker 1: obviously for terrible reason, but I don't think they really
Speaker 1: care when it comes to, you know, some of the
Speaker 1: things that that that that they end up doing. But
Speaker 1: if he talks, we'll we'll we'll get I guess what
Speaker 1: led to him going to that, going to that? I
Speaker 1: heard that extreme.
Speaker 2: I heard some reports yesterday coming out that this guy
Speaker 2: was sort of talking to his neighbors and there were
Speaker 2: some red flags that were put up at that point.
Speaker 2: But you don't know what makes people ticket. It's a
Speaker 2: classic example, you don't know what goes out. I was
Speaker 2: thinking about that was out cutting the grass Saturday. We'll
Speaker 2: get around my neighborhood. You just don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who you never know, And then the minute you no,
Speaker 1: you know what's going on in somebody's head, you never know.
Speaker 1: I mean, you just never know. Yeah, And you mentioned
Speaker 1: red flags. I mean, I would imagine it's probably one
Speaker 1: of those things that it's a tough spot to be
Speaker 1: in if you feel like the red flag was there
Speaker 1: but you didn't realize it was a red flag until
Speaker 1: it's way too late.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that happens all the time, right every time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what, that was kind of odd. That person
Speaker 1: was behaving really weird. I didn't think much of it,
Speaker 1: you know, thought about it for a few seconds, and
Speaker 1: then I just never thought about it again. And then
Speaker 1: you have something. And it's not to say that those
Speaker 1: people feel any way responsible, but if they do feel
Speaker 1: as if well, I don't know, maybe I should have
Speaker 1: said something that would be that'd be tough. But I
Speaker 1: think some things that are red flags, it's almost impossible
Speaker 1: to know in real time one what somebody's actually going
Speaker 1: to do, but also that that would actually be the
Speaker 1: red flag. It's just it's wild.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: We've seen some of our neighbors some different behavior that
Speaker 2: comes about, and sometimes they're just different, that's who they are.
Speaker 2: But it harkens back to the day as I was
Speaker 2: listening to some of the accounts yesterday. If you see something,
Speaker 2: say something, Yeah, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anymore,
Speaker 2: just go in and speak up.
Speaker 1: Also, something else we touched on earlier, the protest that
Speaker 1: took place all across the country. Louisville had one of
Speaker 1: those as well, the No Kings protest. And I'm sure
Speaker 1: we have many listening that are on one complete side
Speaker 1: and others that are on the exact opposite side as
Speaker 1: far as what they think about these protests. But what
Speaker 1: I ask is, can't we all agree that despite around
Speaker 1: four thousand people showing up in downtown Louisville, different places
Speaker 1: throughout you even had some smaller protests that took place
Speaker 1: in the Highlands near Barchtown Road by mid City Mall,
Speaker 1: yet some just across the river in New Albany Jeffersonville
Speaker 1: as well. So I can't speak for the Southern Indiana
Speaker 1: aspect of it. But when it comes to the downtown
Speaker 1: presence again, they estimated around four thousand, and it looks
Speaker 1: like it took place from about noon to four pm,
Speaker 1: and once four pm hit it concluded and throughout the
Speaker 1: entirety of it there were no arrests. That's about all.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's best case scenario, given the fact that
Speaker 1: regardless of what you think of these protests, people were
Speaker 1: still going to be able, people were still going to
Speaker 1: do it like it wasn't like we were going It
Speaker 1: wasn't like it was going to be prevent it from
Speaker 1: happening at all, and they have the right to do
Speaker 1: it peacefully. And you know, I'm sure if you were
Speaker 1: there on site, you may have your money, you may
Speaker 1: have your opinion on what's peaceful and what's not. But
Speaker 1: law enforcement was clearly there a lot of presents from
Speaker 1: LMPD and they didn't see anything that was an arrestable offense.
Speaker 1: So again, I feel like that's best case scenario, to
Speaker 1: be honest with you, especially when you look around the
Speaker 1: country elsewhere. That's not the case in a lot of.
Speaker 2: Places, absolutely, And you know, I just like, like we
Speaker 2: heard with the pool in the way, the city's on
Speaker 2: top of this now and I just think, there's this
Speaker 2: and I tiped my head to the mayor. You can
Speaker 2: say what you want about the mayor. I'm political atheist.
Speaker 2: I have no allegiance anywhere. The mayor and the LMPD
Speaker 2: and in the city as a whole are collectively working
Speaker 2: together to kind of keep this stuff contained. Let's home
Speaker 2: it stays that way, but they're taking action, and I
Speaker 2: think that's what the citizens of Louisville and the city
Speaker 2: have demanded for the longest time.
Speaker 1: I feel like Louisville leadership, at least right now given
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about what's taking place really in the
Speaker 1: last few weeks specifically. I mean, I think they're doing
Speaker 1: a good job of balancing for everyone involved, those who
Speaker 1: completely you know, for both sides, and I hate to
Speaker 1: say that it's this side that side, but let's be real,
Speaker 1: it is. We've never been more divided than we are
Speaker 1: right now. It seems so all right, what I want
Speaker 1: to get to coming up here in just a few
Speaker 1: minutes after we get our next update on traffic and weather.
Speaker 1: The Kroger here in Louisville that was that was shut
Speaker 1: down is expected to reopen today. But never a good
Speaker 1: thing whenever you get shut down by Louisville Metro Department
Speaker 1: of Public Health for rodent infestation. So we'll talk about that,
Speaker 1: and Morgan, your next update of traffic and weather's right
Speaker 1: now right here on New's Radio eight forty whas six fifteen.
Speaker 1: Hereuckyains Morning News with Nick Coffee on News Radio eight
Speaker 1: forty whas. So this was in one of the earlier newscasts,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure if you're somebody that frequents this store,
Speaker 1: then you're well aware of what's going on. But the
Speaker 1: Kroger location on Gauss Avenue, I guess near the Schnitzelberg
Speaker 1: Germantown area was closed down. Actually is that it's Goss's Avenue?
Speaker 1: Is that? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Someone I go to. I go to this one during
Speaker 4: the week.
Speaker 1: So they were closed down over the week and expected
Speaker 1: to reopen today. And it was because they had multiple
Speaker 1: failed health inspections by the Louisville Metro Department of Public
Speaker 1: Health and Wellness. They were flagged for pest control and
Speaker 1: sanitation issues, rodent infestation. Apparently there were rodents. I mean,
Speaker 1: just it sounds like they've done what's needed to be
Speaker 1: able to get the green light to reopen, which is
Speaker 1: certainly good. But I'd be a liar if I said
Speaker 1: this wouldn't impact my future trips to this location. Scott,
Speaker 1: you go to this location? Are you? Are you still
Speaker 1: going to die?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I was there Friday, and because usually Friday I go
Speaker 2: stock up on my lunch stuff for the week, and
Speaker 2: I'm good, and I walked in. I noticed they had
Speaker 2: an aisle that I frequent was closed down and they
Speaker 2: had curtains around it, and I thought maybe this was
Speaker 2: just something that that they they do a cleaning for
Speaker 2: you know, they pull sections aside and they do cleanings.
Speaker 4: I can get home. It's on the news. Mark goes,
Speaker 4: don't you go there?
Speaker 2: And I said, yeah, I was just there today, and
Speaker 2: she goes, you didn't see this, and I said, yeah,
Speaker 2: I didn't know what it was for. And the store
Speaker 2: was still packed on Friday. It wasn't keeping people away.
Speaker 2: I guess that the city comes in and says it's okay,
Speaker 2: I'll get because the stuff I buy, like, let's be honest,
Speaker 2: if anything looks tampered with, I'm not buying it.
Speaker 1: Can I tell you where the road and infestation was
Speaker 1: found and we'll see if it's something you buy. Because
Speaker 1: there were three aisles closed Friday, there was.
Speaker 4: One that I wanted to go down then.
Speaker 1: And then they ended up shutting the whole place down
Speaker 1: before they get they're going to reopen this morning. But
Speaker 1: the three aisles at the Gulf Avenue Kroger were closed
Speaker 1: Friday after they found evidence of rodent infestation and these
Speaker 1: The statement from the Health Department said that they discovered
Speaker 1: evidence of a rodent infestation in three aisles that included
Speaker 1: bread and pasta products. So was that what you were no, Okay.
Speaker 2: No, I go down the condiment aisle because I love
Speaker 2: my hot sauce. Okay, and so, but that is right
Speaker 2: next to the bread ale because luckily, I'm I'm a
Speaker 2: pretty low carb kind of guy.
Speaker 4: I don't need a lot of bread.
Speaker 1: This is uh wow, kroger Is. I mean there's kroger
Speaker 1: Is all over the place. I mean, they're a very
Speaker 1: very successful business, so I doubt this is going to
Speaker 1: be some huge issue for them moving forward. No, but
Speaker 1: it is a black eye when it comes to you
Speaker 1: having to shut down for this specific reason. And I
Speaker 1: don't I have no clue what others are going to do.
Speaker 1: And I'm certainly not telling you what to do. You
Speaker 1: can do whatever you want. I'm not even the most
Speaker 1: like put it this way to give you a level
Speaker 1: of sort of where I am as far as trusting
Speaker 1: if things are clean and not tampered with and that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, like if something is lightly expired, I'll
Speaker 1: probably eat it and not and not think about it
Speaker 1: for a second. If that makes me a disgusting human being,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, just being honest with you. But when I
Speaker 1: hear that there's just these two words rodent infestation, even
Speaker 1: if you do everything you can to prove you could break,
Speaker 1: you could tear the place down and rebuild it. I
Speaker 1: think road infestation is going to always be in my
Speaker 1: mind when I think of that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Dude, you it makes you wonder how many more of
Speaker 2: these are in places that haven't been.
Speaker 1: So you don't want to know? I know, right well,
Speaker 1: think about this, you know, how do you know how
Speaker 1: many businesses similar meaning maybe not maybe not just grocery
Speaker 1: store types of places, but just like there's businesses that
Speaker 1: are sweating because they're like, uh oh, yeah, we know
Speaker 1: we've got some roadent issues going on, and we're doing
Speaker 1: our best to bandage it and not let it get
Speaker 1: to this level. But I just think those two words
Speaker 1: road and infestation is going to turn a lot of
Speaker 1: people off. Also when it gets to the point that
Speaker 1: you you had to be shut down by the Louisville
Speaker 1: Metro Public Health and Safety because of how bad it was.
Speaker 1: It's just it's tough, it really is. John. Would you
Speaker 1: would you would this if this was a store that
Speaker 1: you frequented, would you no longer frequent?
Speaker 3: I would at the very least stay away from it
Speaker 3: for a little while to make sure that no other
Speaker 3: similar stories arise over the next probably month is probably
Speaker 3: at least the amount of time I would give it.
Speaker 3: I know my wife wouldn't want me shopping there for
Speaker 3: at least some amount of times. So, and there's plenty
Speaker 3: of other places I could shop at, so I definitely
Speaker 3: wouldn't be going to it.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different types of rodents. But I mean,
Speaker 1: it's got to be rats, right, I mean.
Speaker 4: I shouldn't say it sounds like, Okay, I don't know that, so.
Speaker 1: Don't you know? But when you when you consider the
Speaker 1: animals that are in the like in that in that world,
Speaker 1: I mean, the only one I could think of that
Speaker 1: would be there would be rats. And I'm and not
Speaker 1: only are those disgusting animals in my opinion, they scare me,
Speaker 1: like they freaked me out right where I go. That
Speaker 1: place is opening up at nine o'clock. If I went
Speaker 1: in there today, I would be like walking on my
Speaker 1: tiptoes looking around thinking I'm gonna stay. Just that's more
Speaker 1: so just me being a weirdo about how gross rats are.
Speaker 1: But yeah, road infestation, that didn't it just sounds awful.
Speaker 2: I could go because we had a we had mice
Speaker 2: in our home, and I could go on all day.
Speaker 2: But there were times I didn't tell all that. There
Speaker 2: was one time I found a household snake in one
Speaker 2: of our mice traps. Mouse traps. I did not say
Speaker 2: a thing to my wife. Well, I talked about it
Speaker 2: on the show somebody would go to church with.
Speaker 1: So you later got outed.
Speaker 4: She said it right in front of him.
Speaker 2: My man had a couple of beers and decided to
Speaker 2: disclose this in front of my wife. I'm like, appreciate you, bro,
Speaker 2: thank you. But I'm not as creeped out by mice.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean was she Was she happier that you
Speaker 1: didn't tell her?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: She was.
Speaker 4: That's good.
Speaker 1: But because she didn't tell her for good reason. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's like, I knew what you do to her. You
Speaker 1: knew that you got it taken care of. There was
Speaker 1: no benefit from her knowing, right.
Speaker 4: It was creepy to see though at first. At first
Speaker 4: I walked down.
Speaker 1: I've got the chills right now thinking about snakes and rats.
Speaker 4: I know you do. Yeah, now I don't mind mice.
Speaker 4: I can do mice rat.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Different world, different world, those two animals right there.
Speaker 1: All right, we got an update of traffic and weather
Speaker 1: coming your way right here right now, and news Radio
Speaker 1: eight forty whas thank you, Joe. It is six thirty
Speaker 1: four here Konsecuta's Morning News with Nick Coffee on News
Speaker 1: Radio eight forty w h A S getting your week
Speaker 1: started here. Hopefully you enjoyed the weekend a good Father's
Speaker 1: Day week and it was for us around here, and
Speaker 1: hopefully it was the same for you. Now this story
Speaker 1: is it happened probably within an hour or so of
Speaker 1: when we ended the show on Friday, So we're going
Speaker 1: back a little bit, but it's certainly worth bringing up
Speaker 1: because there was a scary and somehow miraculous ability to
Speaker 1: avoid a disaster when there was the wreck that took
Speaker 1: place on Friday morning around I think around ten am
Speaker 1: there was a semi truck on sixty five near the
Speaker 1: Kennedy Bridge that it ended up in a fiery crash,
Speaker 1: where an eighteen wheeler on fire dangled briefly off of
Speaker 1: an overpass before eventually falling. And not only was it
Speaker 1: a wild visual to see, just think about these two
Speaker 1: things together, a truck dangling off of an overpass near
Speaker 1: the Kennedy Bridge also up in flames in a major way.
Speaker 1: I mean, it looked like something you see in a movie.
Speaker 1: But what I think is crazy, and I'm not indicating that,
Speaker 1: like in any way there's any specific reason for this happening.
Speaker 1: But there's now been three incidents very similar in the
Speaker 1: last fifteen months or maybe actually less than that, roughly
Speaker 1: thirteen months, we've had three separate incidents involving semi trucks
Speaker 1: getting into an accident either on a bridge or on
Speaker 1: an overpass to where they end up dangling off of it.
Speaker 1: And again I'm not saying that there's like anybody specifically
Speaker 1: as it fault. If there is any real consistency here,
Speaker 1: it's probably people not monitoring their speed when they're in
Speaker 1: certain spots. But think about how crazy that is. I
Speaker 1: posted the pictures on my Facebook page if you guys
Speaker 1: want to check it out. Nick Coffee is where you
Speaker 1: can find it. Also on Twitter slash xit the card
Speaker 1: connect And these aren't my photos by any means, but
Speaker 1: just photos up to three different incidents. And it started,
Speaker 1: of course back in this was in This was in
Speaker 1: March maybe of twenty twenty four. This is the one
Speaker 1: that made national news just because of the visual of
Speaker 1: the It was that four vehicle crash that took place
Speaker 1: on Second Street Bridge and you had that Cisco semi
Speaker 1: truck just dangling and you had first responders there, fire
Speaker 1: department that had to kind of kind of what do
Speaker 1: you call it a repel off of the bridge and
Speaker 1: get in there and save her. I mean, that was
Speaker 1: that was insane to see the heroic act there and
Speaker 1: just again it's the visual. I mean, there's a reason
Speaker 1: why it ended up getting coverage live on CNN and
Speaker 1: Fox and whatnot, because you got to get a look
Speaker 1: at this. You won't believe it's a there's a semi
Speaker 1: truck dangling off of a major bridge. So that was
Speaker 1: a huge story. And then there's one that happened the
Speaker 1: day after Derby May fourth of this year. This was
Speaker 1: on I sixty five South at the Kennedy Bridge, and
Speaker 1: you had something similar a wreck where straight up the
Speaker 1: semi truck is dangling off. And then again we had
Speaker 1: this on Friday. Again, I'm not bringing it up to
Speaker 1: say somebody, you know, look, clearly they're gonna look into
Speaker 1: this and figure out as best they can what they
Speaker 1: can do to, you know, prevent this from happening. But
Speaker 1: you know, and maybe they do find out that there's something,
Speaker 1: there's something at fault when it comes to like the
Speaker 1: roadway or whatnot. I'm just bringing it up because I
Speaker 1: think it's insanely you know, what are the chances of
Speaker 1: those kind of things happening? Ever, we've had it happen
Speaker 1: three times and roughly a year and a quarter.
Speaker 2: Well, and it was, like you, I saw those images
Speaker 2: and it was just they look horrific, and so I
Speaker 2: again started again. I love social media, and I started
Speaker 2: reading some of the truckers that we're talking. I'd be
Speaker 2: interested talking to some of the truckers. I'm working on
Speaker 2: a story for that for Kentucky Focus. You know, there
Speaker 2: are some there's a strong need for truckers. Are we
Speaker 2: pushing them through the trucking courses too fast? Are we
Speaker 2: allowing people to get behind rigs that maybe aren't qualified
Speaker 2: or wouldn't have been qualified just five ten years ago
Speaker 2: because we're trying to fill that shortage. Is this an
Speaker 2: experience factor or because that's been there for a while. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it's only, like you mentioned, it's only been recently
Speaker 2: we've had these incidences. So are we seeing more inexperienced
Speaker 2: drivers taking that maybe a little too fast or what
Speaker 2: negotiate the way they should.
Speaker 1: When I think, well, it wouldn't be a shocker if
Speaker 1: we found out that all of these incidents that took
Speaker 1: place the you know, take away the fact that it's
Speaker 1: a bridge and that it's a semi there's a lot
Speaker 1: of different causes for an accident, right, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: there's probably not anything specifically tied that that is, you know,
Speaker 1: there's probably not one specific thing that has led to
Speaker 1: these three things happening happening separately, but it just makes
Speaker 1: you wonder. I think a lot of people when I
Speaker 1: posted the photos, it was a lot of people, you know,
Speaker 1: basically saying that you know, the cities at fault or whatnot,
Speaker 1: and look, maybe there are I'm not here to say
Speaker 1: one way or the other. I wouldn't know. But anytime
Speaker 1: these things happen, you do get comments from from the mayor.
Speaker 1: This when the one that took place where the first
Speaker 1: one that got again national attention at that point, Mayor
Speaker 1: Greenberg noted that there's been ongoing discussions with KYTC about
Speaker 1: safety improvements, including epoxy surface treatment and replacing some areas
Speaker 1: that it needed to be I guess upgraded. I guess
Speaker 1: he's talking about the road specifically there and then here recently,
Speaker 1: the latest one that happened, this one right after Derby
Speaker 1: on May fourth, emphasized the ongoing collaboration once again with
Speaker 1: KYTC to enhance safety in the area. So again, probably
Speaker 1: information will never get and it may not even matter.
Speaker 1: But now I'm thinking, Okay, when it comes to the
Speaker 1: three separate incidents, what's the experience level of each truck driver?
Speaker 1: Is that area an area they drive across frequently or
Speaker 1: did they not know what they were getting into and
Speaker 1: came in a little too hot. It's just and what's
Speaker 1: wild is that what took place on Friday. I mean
Speaker 1: the driver was able to escape before the fire happened.
Speaker 1: There were no explosions. You know, there was no hazardous
Speaker 1: materials in the because when it fell to the ground.
Speaker 1: I mean if there would have been hazardous materials in there,
Speaker 1: I mean imagine what that and that could have easily
Speaker 1: been the case, right, I mean, it wouldn't have been
Speaker 1: a shocker if that fed eighteen wheeler was hauling something
Speaker 1: that would have been major disaster had as Matt Yeah,
Speaker 1: crazy stuff. So it's just the visual of it is wild.
Speaker 1: It looks like some AI movie type special effects, but no,
Speaker 1: it was it was real. And seeing the videos and
Speaker 1: the pictures from those that were just out and about
Speaker 1: on the road near it, wild stuff, wild stuff, no doubt.
Speaker 1: All right, we got another update of trafficking weather coming
Speaker 1: your way right here, right now on news radio eight
Speaker 1: forty WHAS six forty six here Kentucky and it's morning
Speaker 1: news on news Radio eight forty whas. Take us with
Speaker 1: you wherever you're going this morning. Listen live on the
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio app. Also listen live at whas dot com.
Speaker 1: Don't forget if you are listening on the iHeart Radio app,
Speaker 1: you can always interact with us with the talkback feature.
Speaker 1: I want to I need to remind myself to start
Speaker 1: reminding you guys of that feature more often. But that's
Speaker 1: a good way to uh for you to share your
Speaker 1: thoughts on whatever it is we're talking about. Questions, complaints, compliments, insults,
Speaker 1: send them our way. We we can't play everything you
Speaker 1: send us, and certainly we can if you are using profanity,
Speaker 1: but know, just know that's an option if you ever
Speaker 1: just want to fire off your opinion on what we're
Speaker 1: talking about you, or if you even want to basically
Speaker 1: provide your resume to join the correction police, because we
Speaker 1: know that's what this feature will be used for a
Speaker 1: lot of folks is to say, well, hey, Nick, you
Speaker 1: loud mouth. You said this, but in fact you were wrong.
Speaker 1: It was this. I mean, if you want to do that,
Speaker 1: knock yourself out.
Speaker 2: I love corrections I and I've told this. I've said
Speaker 2: this since day one when I got on the radio.
Speaker 2: The audience is the best. I'm not I'm not perfect.
Speaker 1: You're better than me. I'm not a big fan of
Speaker 1: the police.
Speaker 2: I don't mind them at all. I'm like, bring it,
Speaker 2: you know, because I love it. Because I love it
Speaker 2: helps me in a lot of ways too. But you know, hopefully, Nick,
Speaker 2: I was listening to some of those you sent prior
Speaker 2: to and we're going to try to put those together.
Speaker 4: We get enough one, we're gonna try to put them together.
Speaker 2: At the end of the week and maybe get a
Speaker 2: pulse because I think what it does is it provides
Speaker 2: an accurate feed of how people think in this city.
Speaker 2: As we were talking earlier, some of the biggest stories,
Speaker 2: the crowgra on Goss Avenue, the truckers.
Speaker 4: On sixty five.
Speaker 2: Immediately I go to social media, and I go to
Speaker 2: our page to start with, because I like to see
Speaker 2: what people are saying, especially our listeners, and we can
Speaker 2: get a real feel for that. And then I'll jump
Speaker 2: over to lky are Media partners there and I think
Speaker 2: with the talkback feature that you mentioned, that provides a
Speaker 2: great venue and we sort that stuff out.
Speaker 4: You can tell.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know from working at the station five
Speaker 2: in the morning, you know for a while that different
Speaker 2: people calling it five in the morning.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, five am crowd. You really never know what
Speaker 1: You're got people starting their day. You got people ending
Speaker 1: their day. That's exactly right. And to be fair, I
Speaker 1: don't mind being correct. To trust me, I've probably been
Speaker 1: wrong about a few things within the two and a
Speaker 1: half minutes of this segment, like trust me, I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: Often it's not about that, it's just those that go
Speaker 1: about it in a way of like they put you
Speaker 1: on the radio, right, it's wrong, you do fis right?
Speaker 1: And you know what I love is either trolling them
Speaker 1: at times like oh no, I think you need to
Speaker 1: go check yourself because I think you know, even when
Speaker 1: I know I'm wrong, if they're being nasty about it,
Speaker 1: I'll just tell them, Oh no, I'm right, you're wrong,
Speaker 1: and then they'll really want to This guy's squeezy. He
Speaker 1: stinks he's still right, and I probably shouldn't do that.
Speaker 1: That's childish of me. I suppose. Sometimes I'll give them like,
Speaker 1: you know, again, there's a way to go about it,
Speaker 1: and at times when somebody's just wanted to I guess
Speaker 1: dunk on me for being wrong. When I don't give
Speaker 1: them the response of like challenging them, I'm like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, thank you so much, then they feel empty.
Speaker 1: They didn't get fulfilled by insulting me because I'm instead
Speaker 1: of being angry and offended, I'm apologetic.
Speaker 4: That's over the ticket. Yeah, that's the ticket. And that's
Speaker 4: what I was trying to tell mister Cruz when he
Speaker 4: was on the air. I said, you know you don't
Speaker 4: have to respond.
Speaker 2: In fact, when Will Clark used to get those all
Speaker 2: the time, because Wellie would say some stuff that would
Speaker 2: be but everybody loves Will Clark.
Speaker 4: So I said, what you.
Speaker 2: Need to do is when you get an email, read it,
Speaker 2: learn from it, and then you move on. And when
Speaker 2: I say move on, when you delete it, then delete
Speaker 2: it out of your recycle bin. Because if you don't
Speaker 2: delete it out of your recycle bin. Like when you're
Speaker 2: missing a tooth, he keeps sticking your tongue up there,
Speaker 2: or you miss your tooth, you'll keep going back to it.
Speaker 2: And that's the thing I've learned is that I love
Speaker 2: critis because I have to sort some's warranted, some admittedly not.
Speaker 2: But it helps me be a better person. And and
Speaker 2: I just I learned also to move on.
Speaker 1: And this is not obviously a caller driven show. That's
Speaker 1: just not what this is. But I learned in my
Speaker 1: previous world whenever I did have a show that was
Speaker 1: more so interactive with listeners and phone calls and whatnot,
Speaker 1: it's better radio if somebody's gonna call and disagree with
Speaker 1: you or take you to task on something, or even
Speaker 1: like insult you. I mean, I'm not encouraging that people
Speaker 1: shouldn't be me to one another. Like because I said
Speaker 1: your team's not as good as as you know you
Speaker 1: think they are, doesn't mean you should call me and
Speaker 1: tell me that I'm ugly. But that's just how some
Speaker 1: people are wired. But you know, again, if you I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't. I didn't want to make this conversation into
Speaker 1: something where people should be hesitant to tell us what
Speaker 1: they really think, So tell us what you really think again.
Speaker 1: Talk about features there on the Ahet Radio app, and
Speaker 1: we hope to hear from from many of you. All Right,
