<v Speaker 1>That's me. We've got the full crew here.

7
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:13.599
<v Speaker 2>Two more hours for me and then I'm out of

00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:17.000
<v Speaker 2>here vacation time, which really looking forward to it. But

9
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to make the most of these next two

10
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:21.600
<v Speaker 2>hours because I'll miss you guys, trust me, and I

11
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.280
<v Speaker 2>am somebody that will in fact miss doing this because

12
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm not lucky. I get to do something every day

13
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.519
<v Speaker 2>that I genuinely enjoy doing, which you know is a

14
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:32.399
<v Speaker 2>dream come true.

15
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:33.439
<v Speaker 1>But back to business.

16
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:36.079
<v Speaker 2>This is a story that is, you know, I try

17
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:39.560
<v Speaker 2>to find myself in the situation that some of these

18
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 2>people are in when it comes to the stories that

19
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 2>we share here on this show, and this one is

20
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.479
<v Speaker 2>one that I can't quite imagine the feeling of.

21
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:51.039
<v Speaker 1>What this did to this individual.

22
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:55.240
<v Speaker 2>So there is a woman who was able to survive

23
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.759
<v Speaker 2>an allergy attack that almost killed her, but the attack

24
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 2>was intentional. This woman, Deborah Williams. She claims that her

25
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.879
<v Speaker 2>ex daughter in law, Tiffany Gregory, used her severe food

26
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 2>allergies as a weapon and of course probably trying to

27
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know how severe they are, but

28
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 2>food allergies are very serious for most people, very severe.

29
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>And she claims that her daughter in law in a

30
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 2>birthday gift bag put a bunch of crushed bell peppers

31
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>and what they were delivered to this woman by her granddaughter,

32
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 2>the daughter of Tiffany Gregory, and they left him in

33
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>a car. And of course, I mean, that's that's something

34
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>that was intentionally put there to hurt her.

35
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe kill her.

36
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 2>So it says a Father's Day, on Father's Day of

37
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>pink liquid allegedly laced with penicillin was smeared on her

38
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 2>door handle. Williams touched and then went into and went

39
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.920
<v Speaker 2>into what is it anaphila anaphyletic shock. I'm sure I'm

40
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.359
<v Speaker 2>not saying that correctly, but that leads to seizure's hospitalization again,

41
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.840
<v Speaker 2>a very dangerous, very dangerous situation. So this is a scorned,

42
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:11.599
<v Speaker 2>bitter daughter in law that was wanting to hurt and

43
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 2>again potentially kill her ex mother in law, which I mean,

44
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 2>I can't imagine. I mean, it's one thing in the

45
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 2>heat of the moment with somebody that you already or

46
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>maybe at odds with, let emotions get the best of

47
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>both of you, and you end up you know, in

48
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.439
<v Speaker 2>its physical I mean, that's not a good thing by

49
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>any means, but that's sort of like where things just

50
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 2>got there right, wasn't good and then it went down

51
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 2>a path of uh oh, this is clear intent to

52
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.479
<v Speaker 2>secret of you know, in a secret way like harm

53
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>you and again maybe kill you. So the woman was

54
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>faced with multiple charges to count of unlawful transaction with

55
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 2>the miner again because she had her daughter leave this

56
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:58.080
<v Speaker 2>bag of crushed bell peppers. And also so yeah, there

57
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.400
<v Speaker 2>were two different incidents that that that happened here. One

58
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.039
<v Speaker 2>was the pink liquid that had penicillin, which she's allergic to,

59
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>and then the other was the crush bell peppers in

60
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 2>a bag that the granddaughter, Gregory's daughter left in the car.

61
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.439
<v Speaker 2>So two counts of unlawful transaction with a minor and

62
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 2>again just awful and the motive I mean again just

63
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 2>probably at odds with her ex mother in law. But

64
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:26.000
<v Speaker 2>a text obtained by police show that this woman referencing

65
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 2>the birthday gift, which police believe was meant to provoke

66
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.120
<v Speaker 2>her harm, which I don't haven't seen the text message,

67
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 2>but anyways, shout out to this woman, Deborah Williams, because

68
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.919
<v Speaker 2>she's doing something that I would have a hard time doing,

69
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 2>and that is forgiving somebody who tried to do this.

70
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, she's she's had an emotional trauma. I mean,

71
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 2>sounds like stalking as well, and it sounds like it

72
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 2>really hasn't stopped, which again, eventually this woman's gonna end

73
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.199
<v Speaker 2>up in prison if she continues to I mean again,

74
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.439
<v Speaker 2>I guess the charge here is rather minor considering that

75
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.199
<v Speaker 2>if you know, I don't know, I don't know enough

76
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.919
<v Speaker 2>about what type of charges would come with certain actions.

77
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>But if I intentionally and there was proof that it

78
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:15.919
<v Speaker 2>was an intentional thing exposed somebody deceitfully that to something

79
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>that they're allergic to, that could potentially cause a real

80
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:20.199
<v Speaker 2>issue to their health.

81
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>And maybe even kill them.

82
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean that's to me, that's a very

83
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 2>serious situation where serious charges could have been filed here.

84
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>But this woman is forgiving her. Quote is I want

85
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.240
<v Speaker 2>to help. I want her to get help. She needs

86
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 2>some serious, intense psychological help. I want to go to

87
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:38.720
<v Speaker 2>heaven and if I judge her, God is going to

88
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.920
<v Speaker 2>judge me the same way. So shout out to this

89
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:42.639
<v Speaker 2>woman having that perspective on it when I know a

90
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>lot of people, including myself, probably wouldn't. This isn't the

91
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 2>best example to use, But there was a true crime

92
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 2>show that I got hooked on and I can't think

93
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 2>of what it was called, but john It highlighted people

94
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 2>who found out, fortunately before it happened, that their significant

95
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.920
<v Speaker 2>other was plotting to have them killed, like murder for hire.

96
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 2>And it's just I can't imagine, like if I found

97
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.000
<v Speaker 2>out that my wife was trying to have me killed,

98
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I wouldn't believe it. And then once you

99
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:12.519
<v Speaker 2>have the realization that you better believe it's true, she's

100
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:13.439
<v Speaker 2>she's in trouble.

101
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean that.

102
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I can't imagine how you would wrap your

103
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.399
<v Speaker 2>mind around that. In many of those cases, those stories,

104
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 2>it was people who had no clue, They never saw

105
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:23.600
<v Speaker 2>it coming.

106
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>They didn't, they don't, they didn't believe it.

107
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 2>But then there were others that were like, oh, yeah,

108
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.319
<v Speaker 2>I knew that if I ended up dead, I.

109
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Told people she did it or he did it.

110
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, So this isn't quite that, But I don't know,

111
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 2>I feel like doing it in that kind of way,

112
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.759
<v Speaker 2>hiring somebody or maybe using something that people are allergic

113
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.319
<v Speaker 2>to then they could die from. Like that's in a

114
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 2>way that's like a I don't say it makes it worse,

115
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.519
<v Speaker 2>but like it's just I don't know, it's it's awful,

116
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.560
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, shout out to Debra Williams Soon.

117
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.519
<v Speaker 3>I think it makes it worse real quick, just because

118
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 3>you don't really leave any evidence. Well, yes you can,

119
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.000
<v Speaker 3>you can see you unintentionally gave it to them.

120
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I mean I think it speaks more so

121
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 2>to just that you are like you are such not

122
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 2>the person they thought they were for the for the

123
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 2>obvious reason, but going to the links of like hi,

124
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:16.680
<v Speaker 2>paying somebody to do it potentially or you know, it's cowardly. Yeah,

125
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>like not even a dress, Like this person could lose

126
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.480
<v Speaker 2>their life and they never even knew that you had

127
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:21.920
<v Speaker 2>a problem with them, you know what. I mean that

128
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 2>clearly this is a bitter ex daughter in law, which

129
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 2>that explains it a little bit. But yeah, scary situation,

130
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 2>all right. Have you ever wanted to be a franchise e,

131
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.600
<v Speaker 2>meaning you own a you know, part of a brand,

132
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 2>and when it comes to restaurants, or have you ever

133
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:39.800
<v Speaker 2>just been interested in what it takes to put yourself

134
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>in that situation with Hooters closing. I looked into it,

135
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:45.920
<v Speaker 2>and I was fascinated to see just sort of what

136
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:47.879
<v Speaker 2>you have to have up front to be able to

137
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 2>open up and own your own restaurant. And there's there's

138
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:54.920
<v Speaker 2>some clear reasons why some succeed in some don't. But

139
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:56.480
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk about that next right here on who's ready

140
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:56.639
<v Speaker 2>to wait?

141
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 1>Forty?

142
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Whas I lied to you, I'm going to save the

143
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 2>conversation about what it takes to become a franchise owner

144
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.560
<v Speaker 2>of certain restaurants for a little bit later when we

145
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:09.839
<v Speaker 2>have a little bit more time, not a whole lot

146
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:11.399
<v Speaker 2>of time left here before we get to our next

147
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.560
<v Speaker 2>traffic weather update, and then of course we've got Scott

148
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:15.319
<v Speaker 2>fitzgil back with.

149
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Another update on sports.

150
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:20.680
<v Speaker 2>But earlier we discussed the LMPD officer who is not

151
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.879
<v Speaker 2>going to be charged with what appears to be an

152
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>accident while on duty that unfortunately did cost someone their life.

153
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:33.360
<v Speaker 2>So this officer did not have her lights or sirens activated.

154
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 2>It's Alyssa Bagel, who was I guess facing potentially some charges,

155
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.920
<v Speaker 2>in fact, secondary manslaughter charges but a grand jury declined

156
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.839
<v Speaker 2>to indict this officer, And it's just a tragic situation

157
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.519
<v Speaker 2>all the way around for everybody involved, because obviously somebody

158
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:51.920
<v Speaker 2>lost their life. Sixty one year old Tarreles Brisco was

159
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:56.800
<v Speaker 2>driving on Fern Valley Road while this officer was responding

160
00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.240
<v Speaker 2>to help ems but did not have again sirens or

161
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:04.360
<v Speaker 2>lights active, which of course probably led to not as

162
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:08.399
<v Speaker 2>much awareness that, hey, there's a first responder in pursuit

163
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:11.560
<v Speaker 2>of some situation, so be advised and you know, get

164
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:14.240
<v Speaker 2>out of the way. And just just an awful situation

165
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:16.439
<v Speaker 2>all the way around. And I would assume maybe I'm wrong,

166
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.120
<v Speaker 2>maybe we'll find out that that's not the case, but

167
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.759
<v Speaker 2>probably just a clear accident. And you know, accidents sometimes

168
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.480
<v Speaker 2>lead to criminal charges because they do in fact, they

169
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 2>do hurt people.

170
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:28.240
<v Speaker 1>And that happened here.

171
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.959
<v Speaker 2>But this is also somebody that was doing the job

172
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.759
<v Speaker 2>of a police officer and risking their life every day

173
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.799
<v Speaker 2>to go out and try to you know, do good

174
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>for the community. So again, just a bad situation all

175
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.879
<v Speaker 2>the way around. But there's another situation about a former

176
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.080
<v Speaker 2>l MPD officer who found himself on the wrong side

177
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:49.559
<v Speaker 2>of the law, which we'll talk about that coming up

178
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:51.639
<v Speaker 2>a little bit later on, but again your next update

179
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.240
<v Speaker 2>coming your way right here right now. On the traffic

180

182
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:00.200
<v Speaker 2>be in for another update on sports right here on

183
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:05.120
<v Speaker 2>news Radio eight forty whas seven thirty five Here Kentucky,

184
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Anda's morning news on news Radio eight forty whas. Nick

185
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.200
<v Speaker 2>coffee with you. It is Coffee and Company. Thank you

186
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.679
<v Speaker 2>very much, John Shannon. So, if you ever wanted to own,

187
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.559
<v Speaker 2>or have you ever wondered what it would take to

188
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:21.120
<v Speaker 2>become an owner or an operator as some of them

189
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 2>call it, of one of these national chain restaurants, rather

190
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.519
<v Speaker 2>it be fast food or sit down casual.

191
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I did.

192
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.159
<v Speaker 2>I was. I've always been curious about this to an extent,

193
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.720
<v Speaker 2>and the recent closure of the Hooters in Jeffersonville and

194
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:37.159
<v Speaker 2>then seeing that a lot of these locations that have

195
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.399
<v Speaker 2>struggled with Hooters it is it's really their corporate locations,

196
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.679
<v Speaker 2>which is which is kind of odd, but they're going

197
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.399
<v Speaker 2>to try to sell some of those to the successful

198
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 2>franchisees who own many of them and are and are

199
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:53.159
<v Speaker 2>having success and you really never know where probably don't

200
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:54.399
<v Speaker 2>even think about it when you go to some of

201
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.159
<v Speaker 2>these chains that yes, there are billions of McDonald's and

202
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:02.039
<v Speaker 2>you know I'm exagger but clearly there's there's some of

203
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.759
<v Speaker 2>these fast food restaurants all over the world, and they're

204
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:08.039
<v Speaker 2>all they're all technically under the umbrella of the of

205
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.399
<v Speaker 2>the parent company like McDonald's and of Force Young when

206
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.159
<v Speaker 2>it comes to KFC, Taco Bell. But you can be

207
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:17.600
<v Speaker 2>you can own multiple multiple locations, and uh, how you

208
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:25.000
<v Speaker 2>operate and really lead those individual locations, uh is up

209
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.120
<v Speaker 2>to you. And you've got the standard to uphold when

210
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:32.080
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the brand that you clearly saw as

211
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.799
<v Speaker 2>a real valuable investment, which is why you bought in

212
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.279
<v Speaker 2>to become an owner. So have you ever heard about

213
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Chick fil a John As far as what it takes

214
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.679
<v Speaker 2>to be one of those one of those, I guess

215
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:45.799
<v Speaker 2>they're not actually not owners, but they're called operators.

216
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:47.679
<v Speaker 3>But it wouldn't surprise me if there's a lot of

217
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.039
<v Speaker 3>strict rules of being a franchisee.

218
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.320
<v Speaker 2>So they I mean, I would say, and I'm not

219
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:55.240
<v Speaker 2>getting paid to say this at all. So this is

220
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:57.679
<v Speaker 2>not any kind of plug by any means, but I

221
00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:59.799
<v Speaker 2>don't think I have ever seen, and I don't even

222
00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 2>know what the comparison would be as far as a

223
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:06.360
<v Speaker 2>national chain with countless locations where there is a consistency

224
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.559
<v Speaker 2>within the brand and the standard like Chick fil A.

225
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it just is, and it's because of what

226
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.799
<v Speaker 2>they do as far as what goes into new locations opening,

227
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:19.279
<v Speaker 2>So you really can't have a traditional franchise. They call

228
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:24.039
<v Speaker 2>their store owners operators, not franchisees, and it's for good reason.

229
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.440
<v Speaker 2>The company Chick fil A, actually retains all of the

230
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:31.399
<v Speaker 2>ownership of the restaurant and they lease that to the operator,

231
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and this creates just a dynamic that has worked for them.

232
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Operators don't own the store, they run it on behalf

233
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:41.919
<v Speaker 2>of the company, and the initial investment is only ten

234
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.200
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars, which has got to be the lowest in

235
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:47.279
<v Speaker 2>that industry. However, Chick fil A covers the cost of

236
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:50.360
<v Speaker 2>real estate, construction, equipment, and that value there is about

237
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.519
<v Speaker 2>two million dollars roughly, So operators do not build equity

238
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.879
<v Speaker 2>in the location of their own business. If they leave,

239
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.200
<v Speaker 2>the store stays with Chick fil A, which again that

240
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.559
<v Speaker 2>would lead to you thinking okay, well, Why would I

241
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:04.320
<v Speaker 2>invest in that if I'm never going to really get

242
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:06.720
<v Speaker 2>return on investment. Well, you're not really investing, right, You're

243
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:10.720
<v Speaker 2>investing ten thousand up front and all the money and

244
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:14.320
<v Speaker 2>just the U upstart costs is Chick fil A's. So

245
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:20.240
<v Speaker 2>what separates them is there is their selection process. So

246
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:27.120
<v Speaker 2>out of twenty thousand roughly that apply every year, only

247
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.399
<v Speaker 2>seventy five to one hundred are actually chosen. Which this

248
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.000
<v Speaker 2>is something that you do. This is a saying that

249
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I had heard without really knowing much about the process.

250
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:40.080
<v Speaker 2>But Chick fil A to become an operator, they have

251
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:42.240
<v Speaker 2>a lower acceptance rate than getting into Harvard.

252
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

253
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.840
<v Speaker 2>And again it's because they are selective about who they

254
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.559
<v Speaker 2>let run their business, and that has led to them

255
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>being able.

256
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is the perfect formula, it really is.

257
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:56.440
<v Speaker 3>And it surprises me that you don't see more restaurant

258
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 3>companies going that direction.

259
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, you should model what they do if

260
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.279
<v Speaker 2>you're one of these companies. So Chick fil A, what

261
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.639
<v Speaker 2>they're looking for is you know somebody who they're interviewing you. Essentially,

262
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:12.200
<v Speaker 2>you've got to have a proven leadership background, an entrepreneurial spirit.

263
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.480
<v Speaker 2>That's one of the things they emphasize with a hands

264
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:18.399
<v Speaker 2>on mentality, willingness to deeply be involved in day to

265
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.360
<v Speaker 2>day operations, and of course just strong values that align

266
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:23.159
<v Speaker 2>with Chick fil A's mission and culture, which of course

267
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:26.000
<v Speaker 2>that that that that that aspect certainly has to come

268
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.279
<v Speaker 2>into just their their clear uh and and real direct

269
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:34.159
<v Speaker 2>stance on on on their faith. So here's the big

270
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:38.000
<v Speaker 2>here's the big kicker. You can't be a private operator,

271
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.679
<v Speaker 2>a silent operator. You you have to be a full

272
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:44.600
<v Speaker 2>time employee in the restaurant, So passive ownership's not allowed,

273
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.879
<v Speaker 2>and you must live in or relocate to the community

274
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:50.600
<v Speaker 2>that's in that area. And a lot of these operators,

275
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:52.559
<v Speaker 2>because of everything that comes with it, they end up

276
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.879
<v Speaker 2>being sort of local figures in their community, and you know,

277
00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:58.440
<v Speaker 2>they sponsor events, they hire, they hire a lot of

278
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:00.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, they hire a lot of good people, and

279
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.679
<v Speaker 2>they get back to the community. So to me, this

280
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.120
<v Speaker 2>just this makes sense as to why they are able

281
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:10.519
<v Speaker 2>to have a very consistent and aligned brand across the board.

282
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:12.279
<v Speaker 2>And if you are one of these people that does

283
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:14.759
<v Speaker 2>get one of these opportunities and you invest that ten thousand,

284
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.679
<v Speaker 2>here's what you receive. Fifteen percent of the restaurant's profits

285
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:24.159
<v Speaker 2>plus fifty percent of net operating income, so total total performing. Yeah,

286
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.399
<v Speaker 2>in total the you know, the top performers in this space,

287
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.559
<v Speaker 2>they can make three hundred to five hundred thousand per year.

288
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:32.639
<v Speaker 2>It's not guaranteed, but that's what you can have as

289
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:35.320
<v Speaker 2>a salary if you are chosen and you run the

290
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:38.200
<v Speaker 2>business successfully. So you're not walking away with equity, but

291
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:39.840
<v Speaker 2>you could do that for a long time and make

292
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:42.240
<v Speaker 2>a great living. So what we'll do on the other

293
00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:44.600
<v Speaker 2>side is I'll let you know how Chick fil A's

294
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:48.240
<v Speaker 2>process compares to others. And it may not surprise you

295
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:51.279
<v Speaker 2>that there's certain restaurants where you know, oh, this one's

296
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.759
<v Speaker 2>on this road, yeah, not going there, and the other one, oh,

297
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I like that one. It's because it's hard to maintain

298
00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.360
<v Speaker 2>the brand and standard unless you do something like with

299
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Chick fil a DoD We'll get to that next. But first,

300
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.240
<v Speaker 2>another update for you on trafficking weather right here on

301
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.360
<v Speaker 2>news Radio Way forty whas Mayor Craig Greenberg said to

302
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:10.360
<v Speaker 2>join us coming up here at eight o'clock, so stick

303
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.399
<v Speaker 2>around for that. Looking forward to talking to the mayor.

304
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.519
<v Speaker 2>And there's some really cool things that I'm looking forward

305
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.960
<v Speaker 2>to discussing with him that really spotlight how awesome this

306
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:23.000
<v Speaker 2>city of Louisville is. And you know, I know people

307
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.600
<v Speaker 2>like to be frank, people like to bitch and complain

308
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:26.919
<v Speaker 2>about a lot of stuff, and I get it, and

309
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:28.679
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't really surprise me at all.

310
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:30.600
<v Speaker 1>But I also I.

311
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.799
<v Speaker 2>Love when people come to Louisville and they realize, wow,

312
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.679
<v Speaker 2>this place is actually pretty awesome. Like the soccer team

313
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.200
<v Speaker 2>that came in for that match over the weekend. To

314
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:44.120
<v Speaker 2>hear those players with really no expectation as far as

315
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:45.840
<v Speaker 2>what they're going to get from the city of Louisville,

316
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:48.639
<v Speaker 2>to hear them clearly, very genuine talk about how much

317
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:50.879
<v Speaker 2>they enjoyed every bit of what Louisville has to offer

318
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:53.759
<v Speaker 2>with the culture and some of our restaurants and whatnot.

319
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.279
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think if more people paid attention to

320
00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:58.960
<v Speaker 2>those that come here and visit that really like it

321
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:01.840
<v Speaker 2>and enjoy it, it might make you appreciate living here.

322
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:04.279
<v Speaker 2>And I know there are clearly things that aren't great

323
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.519
<v Speaker 2>about this city, but that's everywhere in the world. So anyways,

324
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:09.840
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk to Maya Greenberg coming up here in the

325
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:12.639
<v Speaker 2>eight o'clock hour. I feel like every segment I've had

326
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.799
<v Speaker 2>today has been significantly shorter than usual, which I don't

327
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.440
<v Speaker 2>know if that's just me rambling on a Friday and

328
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.679
<v Speaker 2>not paying as close attention. So I don't have as

329
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.039
<v Speaker 2>much time here as I wanted to get to it.

330
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:24.559
<v Speaker 2>But let's just I'll pick up where I left off.

331
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.039
<v Speaker 2>We talked about Chick fil A, and really the explanation

332
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.840
<v Speaker 2>as to why they're able to maintain such a consistency

333
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.159
<v Speaker 2>within their brand and the standard is because they don't

334
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:38.200
<v Speaker 2>let anybody run it unless they have genuinely shown that

335
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:40.960
<v Speaker 2>they're going to be able to keep up what Chick

336
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 2>fil A has built, which I believe is a pretty

337
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.919
<v Speaker 2>good reputation when it comes to just service, and you know,

338
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:48.840
<v Speaker 2>the food is pretty damn good too. But if you

339
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.360
<v Speaker 2>look at other franchises out there that have let other

340
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:54.720
<v Speaker 2>people buy in and run it, I mean, I think

341
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:58.320
<v Speaker 2>the biggest thing is that you can be passive elsewhere, right,

342
00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:00.759
<v Speaker 2>Like you can be a passive owner, meaning you're not

343
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:05.039
<v Speaker 2>you're not directly involved, and you know that if you

344
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:06.920
<v Speaker 2>are not, if you're the one that has skin in

345
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.119
<v Speaker 2>the game, you've made set investment, but you're not there

346
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.960
<v Speaker 2>to oversee it. It's easy for somebody who doesn't have

347
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:14.319
<v Speaker 2>anything really to lose, I mean other than maybe potentially

348
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:16.640
<v Speaker 2>a job, which is something to lose. But you know,

349
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 2>it's it's so people with a lot of money by in,

350
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.359
<v Speaker 2>but they don't they don't want to run it, you know, rarely.

351
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:24.039
<v Speaker 2>And I could be totally wrong here. I don't know

352
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:28.200
<v Speaker 2>how many people actually work full time at the McDonald's

353
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:31.000
<v Speaker 2>that they own. I would imagine that's rare, but I again,

354
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.720
<v Speaker 2>I could that could totally be wrong. But when it

355
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.559
<v Speaker 2>comes to McDonald's, you know, the initial investment, you need

356
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.559
<v Speaker 2>one point three to two point three million roughly, and

357
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.519
<v Speaker 2>you know that's that's that's a lot of money. At

358
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Chick fil A you only need ten thousand dollars. But

359
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.200
<v Speaker 2>you also don't own anything. You have no you have

360
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.400
<v Speaker 2>no equity when you leave. But you can make a

361
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.000
<v Speaker 2>really good living if you run those restaurants in a

362
00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.640
<v Speaker 2>successful we like, in a successful way, like most of

363
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:04.359
<v Speaker 2>them are run. And Subway I haven't had Subway in

364
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.160
<v Speaker 2>a long time, and I'm not I'm not trying to

365
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:12.640
<v Speaker 2>insult them by any means, but they've really really struggled

366
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.519
<v Speaker 2>with many locations. I mean, they have no real consistency,

367
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:18.559
<v Speaker 2>and it's because they had a low barrier to entry

368
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.200
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to being a subway owner, and the

369
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.720
<v Speaker 2>brand control with Subway is believed to be declining worse

370
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:28.319
<v Speaker 2>than any as far as just you know, you don't

371
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:30.799
<v Speaker 2>really know what you're gonna get with any of these locations.

372
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:33.279
<v Speaker 1>I've got a good breakdown of the sit down restaurants

373
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:34.359
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to like BEEFO.

374
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:40.759
<v Speaker 2>Brady's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Applebee's, Hooters, and just fascinating to me.

375
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we'll get to that a little bit later on

376
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:43.240
<v Speaker 2>if we have time, but right now, we got to

377
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.400
<v Speaker 2>get to an update on the roadways. Bobby Ellis will

378
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:47.559
<v Speaker 2>tell us how traffic's looking this morning. We'll also hear

379
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.279
<v Speaker 2>about the forecast today from Matt Melosovich of WLKY, and

380
00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:52.720
<v Speaker 2>then Scott's back for another update on sports, and again
