It still 22 00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.079 sits with me like I'm a seventh grader. Scott, I 23 00:00:58.079 --> 00:00:59.920 don't know what it is, but just the oh man, 24 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.799 when summer breaks coming to an end, and I talked 25 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:04.680 about it, earlier this week when you start to see 26 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.920 those back to school commercials, you walk into Walmart or wherever, 27 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.840 and that's all you see is they got the school supplies, 28 00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:14.799 they got sales for the clothes and whatnot. And it 29 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.879 just I've been out of the public school system for 30 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.040 a long time as a student. But I'm not sure 31 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.799 if that that anxiousness and just that I guess the 32 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:23.640 dread it's always. 33 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.359 Going to be there. I think, Well, John, your wife's 34 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:26.560 a teacher, is she right or wrong? 35 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:26.840 Bye? 36 00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:27.719 Way, Well, this whole. 37 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:31.159 Week she's she's got three days of meetings of trainings 38 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.439 for the upcoming years, so she's she's getting back into 39 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:34.159 the swing of things. 40 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.159 Wow, so many schedules you have to adjust, so many 41 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:38.560 things you have to get used to. Even my wife 42 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.560 said last night to your point Nick, along those same line. 43 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:41.680 She goes, how is it the end. 44 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:43.879 Of July already? I can't believe it, she said, The. 45 00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:45.920 Summer is over. Before you know what, we'll be talking 46 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:47.000 about Christmas shopping. 47 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:47.879 In a month. 48 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.239 It'll be college football season like actually you know here 49 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:52.760 games like it's crazy. 50 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:54.879 Do you pay a lie? Do both of you guys 51 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:56.319 pay a lot of attention to Week zero. 52 00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:58.879 Oh, I love Week zero is as much as the 53 00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:02.439 games are not super exciting, it's just kind of like 54 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.359 that appetizer for the rest of the college football season, 55 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.640 and it's you have the game that they do annually 56 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.400 up in Ireland now and even if again, even if 57 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.560 the matchup isn't fun, it's still nice to know that 58 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.599 that's kind of the new mark for the beginning of 59 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:16.759 college football season. 60 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:21.599 It's the opening act and it's it's usually underwhelming, as 61 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.039 John mentioned, as far as the games the matchups, but 62 00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:26.919 it's the sign that it's here, and it's a nice 63 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:27.919 way to kind of ease in. 64 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:28.879 And I've always said this. 65 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.800 If I was if I was a fan of a 66 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.479 team that played in Week zero, I would love it 67 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:34.120 because you do it. 68 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.120 First of all, you get to start earlier. 69 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:40.599 And also you really get a bigger opportunity to make 70 00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:42.719 some kind of a statement just based off the fact 71 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.439 that it's usually actually usually games themselves are standalone. Now 72 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.280 the weekend is not because you'll have maybe three to 73 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.680 four games, but when people are hungry and just you know, 74 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.159 starving for college football to get here, they'll watch any 75 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:57.159 game when it's Week zero, no matter who it is, 76 00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.120 and if you've got a chance to really get in 77 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.080 front of a big audience, and let's be real, college 78 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.280 football perception matters. I still believe Notre Dame two years 79 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.479 ago when Louisville got and when they came to Cardinal Stadium, 80 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:11.080 those the year's Hartman was there, they beat the breaks 81 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.639 off of I think it was Navy in Ireland and 82 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.840 that led to them getting a nice splash to start 83 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:19.919 the season and I think that was a factor and 84 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.400 then being a top ten team when they came to town. 85 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.960 So I think there's benefits to playing in Week zero 86 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.840 and yeah, week zero is. It's what it does is 87 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:29.680 just gives us a shorter offseason. 88 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.840 Essentially, to your point, I was gonna tell you, as 89 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.560 you realize now this Saturday is the last Saturday without 90 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.199 football until the middle of February. 91 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.439 And now you're getting excited. You get excited. I mean, 92 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.159 that's unbelievable, now, you know. 93 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:43.879 And then coming up Thursday, we had the Hall of 94 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.439 Fame game. Between the lines. I would not expect much 95 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.800 from either team in that game. But to your point, 96 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.759 it's just nice to hear the theme music again. 97 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:52.680 You're gonna turn your TV. 98 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:54.159 It's gonna be a lot of NFL game, but it 99 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:55.439 is a regular season game. 100 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.240 But it's it's it's real. 101 00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.520 And that's that's exciting. It's tomorrow, Yes, it is. My goodness, 102 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.280 I can't wait. I can't wait. All right, we were 103 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:05.240 loaded today here on a Wednesday, certainly a lot to 104 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.680 get into. We've got another note that was found on 105 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.199 the suspect who showed up in New York over the 106 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.439 weekend and then of course carried out an awful act, 107 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.480 killing many people. And we also now know that he 108 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.439 got off the wrong He got on the wrong elevator, 109 00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.240 which led him to not get where he wanted to go. 110 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.079 And just the thought of what would have happened had 111 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.240 he got on the right elevator and ended up where 112 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.480 he wanted to be, which was the NFL offices inside 113 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.319 that building. Just a really, really scary, scary situation. Also 114 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.439 a big time earthquake overnight that we can certainly discuss, 115 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.480 and a lot to get into. As we were up 116 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.000 and running, happy humped, everybody, hope you stay with us 117 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.519 for the next three hours and fifty one minutes because 118 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.000 we've got a lot to get to and we'll have 119 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:54.920 some fun along the way. It's Kentucky, and it's morning News, 120 00:04:54.920 --> 00:05:00.319 Coffee and Company on news radio eight forty WHS. Sometimes 121 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.480 I feel like I'm a little bit dramatic when it 122 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:07.240 comes to the heat, because as much as I am 123 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.120 just sharing facts when it comes to you know, the 124 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.000 temperature outside and the heat index and whatnot, I do 125 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.879 have at least some awareness that I complain about it 126 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.399 whenever I'm someone that doesn't have to actually be out 127 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:20.360 and about working in it. And there's a lot of people, 128 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.439 probably even people that are are five o'clockers, that get 129 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:25.959 up and start their day early, and I'm sure you 130 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.720 can do a lot of different types of work, depending know, 131 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:30.920 regardless of what your schedule is. But I know how 132 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.519 that comes off to some people, so I try not 133 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:34.879 to do it as much and always acknowledge that, hey, 134 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.279 here I am complaining, and yet you guys actually are 135 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.160 out there in these conditions making a living, and you're 136 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.319 a lot tougher than I am. But I do feel, 137 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.439 I guess less like a wimp whenever I see numbers 138 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:49.560 and facts that actually really put in perspective just how 139 00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:53.560 brutal this current heat wave is here in Louisville, Kentucky. 140 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.240 So the heat index is essentially what it feels like outside, 141 00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.360 and I think most people listening know what that is. 142 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.680 Temperatures have been hot, but where it really gets you 143 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.720 is just the stick humidity. And yesterday I was walking 144 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.120 out of kindergarten kickoff, which we went to yesterday for 145 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.279 my son, which that's one of those things with this 146 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.120 I'm happy that the school that the summer is wrapping 147 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.360 up because I'm over this heat. I'm ready for college football. 148 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.519 But he starts kindergarten soon, which is good because we 149 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:23.720 don't have to pay for daycare anymore. But also it's 150 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.480 just sad because he's I'm just watching him walk around yesterday. 151 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.600 He's so excited and and you know, he sees some 152 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.480 of his friends from daycare, some of his friends from 153 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.879 his football team, and it just, you know, it makes 154 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:35.120 me kind of sad that he's growing up. 155 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:36.720 But anyways, we're walking out of. 156 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.360 There yesterday, probably about I don't know, about six o'clock, 157 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.360 and that walk from the building we were at to 158 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.079 the vehicle was just I mean, I remember thinking, I 159 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:48.279 think I might remember this for the rest of my 160 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.519 life because I'm not sure if I've ever been outside 161 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.439 where it felt just that humid and just that gross. 162 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.279 And I don't know if that's a fact as far 163 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.480 as it being like a record, but yesterday's heat in 164 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:03.000 decks as far as just the now national comparison, Tampa Bay, 165 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.439 Florida and Orlando that is where it was the worst. 166 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.120 We're talking peak heat index between one hundred and thirteen 167 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.560 and one hundred and eighteen degrees, and then Savannah, Georgia 168 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.759 one hundred and ten to one hundred and fifteen, and 169 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.879 then after that it's US. It's Louisville, Kentucky. When it 170 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:26.639 comes to just heat indecks specifically, not temperature, and I 171 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.920 think that one hundred and something degrees, but the heat 172 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.199 index in the humidity being low, to me, I might 173 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.199 notice a difference. In fact, I wouldn't notice a difference, 174 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.120 but like, that's still hot as hell. Like I remember, 175 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.000 I've told the story before I went at Phoenix for 176 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.920 the first time years ago, and I'd always heard. 177 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:43.600 It's a dry heat. 178 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.720 It's a dry heat, And I'm thinking, Okay, well, I 179 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:47.879 don't know what the hell that means, but I guess 180 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.680 I'll find out. I guess, you know, I'll find out 181 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:55.040 for myself. If temperatures being substantially higher at times, but 182 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.439 the heat indecks being lower. It's that's the preferable temperature. 183 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.000 And I remember I was at outside at like six 184 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:04.439 am West Coast time, walking to my rental car leaving 185 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:08.040 the airport, and within about fifteen seconds of being outside, 186 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:11.839 dry heat, wet heat whatever, I was soaking, wet and sweat. 187 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:13.399 I mean, it was, you know. So I don't, I don't. 188 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.000 I don't really have a preference. I mean, I'm sure 189 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:17.519 if you gave me two and I could pick on 190 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:18.319 the spot, I would. 191 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.560 There's one, I would take over the other. But to me, 192 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:22.439 hot as hell, as hot as hell. 193 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.519 But yeah, the heat in decks yesterday one oh five 194 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:29.319 between one o five and one oh nine, and that's 195 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:33.440 that's brutal, very brutal. So again, be prepared Today. Probably 196 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.960 not gonna be much different. But the cool weather is 197 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.440 on the way, and we may feel like we're in 198 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:42.840 the Arctic temp you know, we may feel like it's 199 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.279 Christmas time. Whenever we get the cooler temperatures. 200 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:46.639 Might get your tree out. 201 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.320 Yeah, I mean I'm pretty sure like Saturday Friday evening, 202 00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:52.399 I'm pretty sure it's going to be like in the 203 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.200 upper sixties. Maybe that's more so like overnight and if 204 00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:59.440 it's not humid, that's going to feel like heaven. I 205 00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:01.240 may wake up in the middle of the night, just 206 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.240 go outside and see what it feels like, because it's 207 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:06.799 been a while since we've had weather like that. All right, 208 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.600 it's Kentucky. It's morning News Coffee and Company, Nick Coffee 209 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:11.159 with you. We've got an update of Traffick and. 210 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:12.039 Weather coming your way. 211 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.279 Bobby Ellis will get a straightened out on the Trafvick 212 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.399 situation so far this morning. Also, Matt Melosavich, he'll give 213 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.039 us the facts as far as what we can expect 214 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.559 when it comes to the temperature's heat index and all that, 215 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.320 so stick with us. Also, another sports update coming your way. 216 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:27.200 In fact, our first sports update of the morning is 217 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:28.879 on the way in just about four and a half 218 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.480 minutes right here on News Radio eight forty whas. Thank 219 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.200 you very much, John Shannon. It is five point thirty 220 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.559 five here Kentucky and his morning News Coffee and Company 221 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.720 with you here on News radio eight forty whas. Nick Coffee. 222 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.960 That's me the company man. John Olden is alongside and 223 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:45.720 you could take us with you wherever you go. You 224 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.440 can listen live on the iHeartRadio app. Also listen live 225 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.039 at whas dot com. Don't forget about the talkback feature. 226 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:55.159 I need to start mentioning it more because I sometimes 227 00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:58.519 neglected and that's totally totally my fault. So it does 228 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:00.840 make sense that the more you know you mentioned it, 229 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:02.480 the more people are aware of it, and then the 230 00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:03.759 more they utilize it. 231 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:05.519 So again, it's there. It's within the app. 232 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.519 Just click the microphone button and you can record whatever 233 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.519 you want. I believe you get thirty seconds of time 234 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.960 and as soon as you finish, it comes right to 235 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:17.600 us and we can access it and play it on 236 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.360 the air if in fact you know it's something worth playing. 237 00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.039 And just be reminded, like there's certain things you say 238 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:27.360 that like, we do have to still follow. This is 239 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.639 not a podcast, this is live radio. Therefore we have 240 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.039 to follow, you know, rules, There's certain things you can 241 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.000 and can't say on the radio. All right, So the 242 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.679 Manhattan shooter, as far as what we know now that 243 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.960 maybe we did not know yesterday, when it comes to 244 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:49.159 this individual who twenty seven years old, former football player 245 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:53.039 that drove across the drove across the country over the 246 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:57.600 weekend and then, of course on Monday, took out just 247 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.759 a hainous act where he shot and killed four people, 248 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:06.840 including himself. And it's clear that he was targeting the 249 00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:12.240 NFL headquarters inside that building, and the report that came 250 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:15.120 out yesterday afternoon is just kind of I don't want 251 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.600 to act as if the NFL folks are more important 252 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.080 than the others that are in that building that work 253 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.200 for a different industry and whatnot, but it's just he 254 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:26.600 had it. The mindset from this individual seemed to be 255 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:29.759 that he was going there to maybe take out anybody 256 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:33.639 and everybody he could that was in that building because 257 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.200 they worked for the NFL. And it sounds as if 258 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.000 he got off the wrong elevator or got on the 259 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.159 wrong elevator which led to him not being I guess where. 260 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:44.240 He needed to be and wanted to be. 261 00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.799 And again there's already lives that have been lost and 262 00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:49.960 at least I think two people still fighting for their 263 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.799 lives in one of those people as an NFL employee. 264 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:55.559 So just an awful situation. But here is New York 265 00:11:55.600 --> 00:12:00.120 Mayor Eric Adams. Yesterday, this was his appearance on a 266 00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.960 I believe a radio show in New York City. 267 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:06.000 I truly always believe that there would be a day. 268 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:09.320 In fact, that's not the right sound apologies here, it is. 269 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.840 We have reason to believe that he was focused on 270 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:15.679 the NFL. 271 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:19.279 Agency that was located in the building. 272 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:26.080 So he claims that the NFL is untouchable, and he 273 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.120 also claims that he has CTE and that that claim 274 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:35.799 is unproven at this point, and I think determining I 275 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.279 guess more about this. This this guy's life leading up 276 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.159 to him making this decision to do what he did. 277 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.279 I mean, I hate to say it, because there's still 278 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.039 something that I just can't quite get comfortable with when 279 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:51.519 it comes to expressing on this platform that I'm interested 280 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:55.080 in people who do these kind of things because you know, 281 00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:58.279 they don't deserve our time and attention because they're awful 282 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:02.320 human beings. However, I mean it, you can't help but 283 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:06.159 want to know what would lead somebody to take out 284 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:09.039 to do something like this. I mean, it's it's just, 285 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.960 you know, something I certainly can't relate to. But yeah, 286 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.320 the NFL did confirm Roger Goodell that, as you heard 287 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.720 it in the news update there from John Channon, that 288 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:19.960 they did confirm that one of their employees was one 289 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:23.000 of the ones that was shot and is still fighting 290 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.759 fighting for their life. Now what we also know is 291 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:30.039 there was another note that was found, but this note 292 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:32.080 was I think it was just a yeah, it was, 293 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:34.080 it was a second note. They found it at his 294 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:37.120 home in Vegas and it was described as an apology 295 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.679 to his parents, So I'm sure they'll be you know, well, 296 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.759 when these kind of things happen, usually it doesn't take 297 00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:51.559 too long before every little detail about these these awful 298 00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:55.080 people that do these things we find out. And then 299 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.080 sometimes you don't, and then it makes you think, Okay, 300 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.000 how in the world could like the person who attend 301 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:01.720 to assassinate Trump, we still. 302 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:03.279 Know very little about that individual. 303 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.080 And that's just, you know, that's just unusual given that 304 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.679 you know, you can typically, like the Internet has people 305 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.799 who will be web sluts and find out really any 306 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:17.200 bit of information that they can on somebody. So you 307 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:19.440 would think that, you know, law enforcement people that have 308 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:23.759 access and resources that most don't have, would be able 309 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:27.919 to figure more out. But yeah, the the uh, this 310 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.039 guy was looking to probably take out anybody and everybody 311 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.279 he could, specifically that was in that building that worked 312 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.279 for the NFL, and maybe in the end it's a 313 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:39.840 blessing in disguise that it wasn't worse because you know, 314 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.559 maybe he didn't end up doing what he intended as 315 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:45.559 far as just the magnitude of it, because he knew 316 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:49.039 he was in the wrong spot. But yeah, just just 317 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.399 awful news. All right, let's talk to Rory O'Neil who 318 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:53.360 joined us. Coming up here in just a few minutes, 319 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.919 Roy O'Neil of NBC. But first, another update on the 320 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:59.360 roadways from Bobby Ellis and another update on the forecast 321 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.320 with Matt Mellosa bit right here on News radio eight 322 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:06.000 forty whas. Good morning, Kentucky. Anna, This is Kentucky and 323 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:08.159 his morning news coffee and company Nick Coffee with you 324 00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:08.600 here on. 325 00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:10.720 News radio eight forty whas. 326 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.279 And we now welcome in Rory O'Neal of NBC News 327 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:17.320 and Rory, when it comes to artificial intelligence, it is 328 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.279 growing really like nothing i've ever seen before. I think, 329 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:23.639 just the awareness of it, folks realizing not only is 330 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:25.440 it a potential threat to what you do for a 331 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.440 living and maybe dangerous, it can also be very very 332 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.919 useful for folks. But when it comes to college students today, 333 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:34.120 they can lean on AI to help them when it 334 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:36.720 comes to their work, but also knowing how to use 335 00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:39.039 it can be a fundamental skill that can maybe even 336 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.360 help them in maybe the first career path they decide 337 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:43.840 to go down. What can you tell us as far 338 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:47.279 as just how that's being handled. There's no scenario where 339 00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.399 college professors can tell you, yeah, we just ignore that. 340 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:51.960 It's clearly going to be here for a while. 341 00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:56.120 Well, right, And look, this is on a couple different fronts. Right, 342 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.240 You've got the college professors concerned that kids are sort 343 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:03.000 of skating through by letting programs do the work for them, 344 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:08.000 letting AI do the homework be this generation's cliffs notes, 345 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.360 I guess. But there's the other side too, where all right, 346 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.240 let's see this as a tool, and then who's going 347 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.279 to know how to wield that tool? Right? Half of 348 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.320 students believe that learning how to use AI is the 349 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:24.519 most important skill they'll gain while in college. According to 350 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:28.080 this new pullout, today, sixty two percent believe that learning 351 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:32.000 how to use AI responsibly will actually be essential for 352 00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.840 their future careers. Because look, as much as you know, 353 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.639 you don't want war and peace to be summarized by 354 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.759 some program when you do get out into the real world. 355 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.080 These programs are going to be available and there won't 356 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:46.120 be a professor saying you can't use that. 357 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:49.320 Yeah, And I think if you are someone that's just 358 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:51.840 resistant of it for whatever the reason is, and you 359 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.200 are someone that is a young enough professional, that you 360 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.600 will likely be in the workforce for a long time 361 00:16:57.639 --> 00:16:59.679 because you're not retiring anytime So I'm not really sure 362 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.320 anybody is going to be retiring anytime soon in the 363 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:04.640 grand scheme of things. But I just I feel like 364 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.920 there's been a shift in a major way in really 365 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:09.279 just the last few months. 366 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:11.680 As far as just hey, this is here to stay. 367 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:13.079 This isn't going anywhere. 368 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:15.200 It's going to be very much directly involved in what 369 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:16.559 a lot of us do moving forward. 370 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.000 Well, right, and then how do we use it? And look, 371 00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:23.119 these nineteen twenty twenty one year olds going through college 372 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:24.759 and coming out, they're the ones who are going to 373 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:28.240 shape this stuff going forward, right, you know, these will 374 00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:31.920 be the tech titans of the future who will mold 375 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:34.039 AI and they're the ones who are going to steer 376 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:36.319 it away from taking over the world. But as of 377 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:40.519 right now, this Grammarly survey found that nearly half the 378 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:43.720 students use it for brainstorming. That's how they use AI currently. 379 00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:46.319 They'll use it for spelling and grammar check and things 380 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.680 like that. I thought it was interesting that nearly a 381 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.480 third said that they use AI to ask questions they 382 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.880 would otherwise be embarrassed to ask the professor in front 383 00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:56.400 of the class. 384 00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:57.799 That makes sense. I wouldn't have thought of that. 385 00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:00.400 But that's really what AI for my end is when 386 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.079 I'm just fascinated to hear of all the ways people 387 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.359 have learned or maybe just been made aware of of 388 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.680 how they could use this to help them, right. I mean, 389 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:10.359 it can turn your brain to mush if you're not 390 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.559 really doing much critical thinking and you're just relying on 391 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:15.119 it for information. But it could also get your brain 392 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.400 working a little bit, which that's that's. 393 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:18.319 Something I've really thought about. 394 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:20.839 Yeah, about a quarter of them say they use it 395 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:24.359 to create study car note cards other study tools. They'll 396 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:29.400 have AI quiz them, you know, on subject material, rather 397 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:31.599 than have AI summarize it for them. They'll say, no, 398 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:34.839 you know, I've got a test on Warren Peace tomorrow, 399 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.359 give me give me a practice exam. 400 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:39.279 That kind of thing, And that can be useful in 401 00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:41.599
