WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:00.360 Thank you. 2 00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:02.480 John. It is seven oh five here at Kentucky and 3 00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:07.879 this morning news on News Radio eight forty whas. Happy Friday, everybody, 4 00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:12.880 Nick coffee. That's me finishing up our first week here, 5 00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:15.480 my first week these guys have been assembled, and that's 6 00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:18.239 Scott Fitzgerald as well as John Alden and of course 7 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.079 John Shannon you just heard there. But I yesterday felt 8 00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:24.039 like a breakthrough for me as far as adjusting to 9 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:26.359 this new sleep schedule because I got a little bit 10 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.000 of sleep during the day, just enough to where I 11 00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.640 wasn't groggy the rest of the day, and then I 12 00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:32.600 stayed up and I watched my pacers, which I'm sure 13 00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:34.719 we'll get back into coming up a little bit later on, 14 00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.399 because how about that come from behind victory And it's 15 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.159 not the first time you've heard that. That's just kind 16 00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.000 of what they're doing here in the postseason, which has 17 00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:44.320 which has been awesome to see. Also coming up in 18 00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:45.880 an hour, we're going to be joined right around eight 19 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.759 o'clock by Louisville may Or Craig Greenberg. Looking forward to 20 00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.759 chatting with him. Obviously, the biggest talking point I would 21 00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.920 say so far from me this week is the situation 22 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:57.520 in the Highlands, and obviously Mayor Greenberg as well as 23 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.600 Chief Humphrey, they're putting prevent things in place to where 24 00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:05.560 they don't have to respond to a third straight weekend 25 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:10.079 of real chaos. I know last night they spoke quick 26 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.359 Greenberg spoke with residents and business owners in the area 27 00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:15.359 in a private meeting. So maybe you can give us 28 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:17.040 some insight into how that went. So we'll do that 29 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:20.400 coming up around eight o'clock. And also we will talk 30 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.319 around eight forty five, sorry, eight thirty with Rory O'Neill 31 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.040 of NBC News. And yesterday was one of those days 32 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.319 when it comes to just seeing something play out that 33 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.159 probably everybody is aware of and certainly a lot of 34 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:34.079 people are talking about, and that's this internet fight. The 35 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.400 bromance is officially over between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, 36 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.400 the most powerful person in America the President, Donald Trump 37 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:44.879 the most I don't know if he's the wealthiest, but 38 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.959 certainly in the conversation Elon Musk, these two guys are 39 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.359 having an Internet fight like you may see middle schoolers 40 00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.719 do on Back in my day, it was MySpace, but 41 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:55.560 you know, maybe nowadays, if they were going to fight, 42 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.760 they would be fighting on I don't know. Can you 43 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.120 fight on Snapchat? I guess that's not such. You could, 44 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:02.400 but it's not that's not like I guess you could 45 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:03.680 put on your story. I was gonna say, it's not 46 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:04.319 a public thing. 47 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.640 Yeah, no, you could. You could easily fight. You can 48 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.240 find any social media you wanted to. But it it 49 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.080 is telling to watch that unfold. I kind of wondered 50 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.479 how long that was going to take. And you know, 51 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.840 I wonder if that goes on, that's gotta go on, 52 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.520 say in the corporate world, if you've got to alpha, 53 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:22.520 I mean, it's just. 54 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.719 Just two people that are eating very very headstrong and 55 00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:29.520 heavy egos have probably always operated and existed with an 56 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.919 enormous amount of power. Yeah, it's just it just becomes 57 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.879 I mean, it's it's probably when you are no longer 58 00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:40.840 the most powerful and most uh I guess, I mean power. 59 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.199 Is probably the right way to describe it. 60 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:43.960 When you no longer have as you know, when you're 61 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.280 no longer number one. I mean, that's what Elon Musk 62 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.919 is dealing with now. I mean that this was rather predictable. 63 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:50.280 A lot of people have said that in the last 64 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:54.360 couple of days, which I totally understand. But to see 65 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.479 just the nastiness it was. It was certainly something and 66 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.919 it all stems from the big beautiful Bill and the 67 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.199 issues that Musk has with it. And I think most 68 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.240 people are aware of what specifically he has a problem with, 69 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:11.240 but for that all to lead to, I mean, just 70 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.919 him saying that Trump's on the Epstein list, which you 71 00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.560 know that probably didn't shock some people just because of 72 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:20.560 the specifics and and you know, just the background of 73 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.319 his relationship with Epstein. But nonetheless, I mean, it's one 74 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.560 of those days where you you know, you see everybody 75 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.039 reacting to it. It's certainly a national story because you know, 76 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.199 it's not something you see very often, but I still have. 77 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.080 A level of is this real, Yeah, it's exactly happening. Well, 78 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:36.680 it's what politicians in growing. 79 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.039 I grew up in the regular era of politics, and 80 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:41.759 you know, I was I. 81 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.000 Didn't really have a political bias. 82 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.680 Coming up, and then when I joined the military, you 83 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:47.759 really learned not to have a political bias. 84 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.039 But my I think my it was interesting. 85 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.719 My mom was more of a Jimmy Carter person, and 86 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.719 my pops was more of you know, Gerald Ford. He 87 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:57.879 was he was the more conservative in the family. So 88 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.520 I grew up with both sides of the and then 89 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.439 when Reagan came in, both my mom and my dad 90 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:07.199 sort of kind of united under that umbrella. And I 91 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.199 was thinking about this the other day after you talked 92 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:14.280 about this. It's just that's non existent anymore. We've lost 93 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.759 the ability to sort of work together. In fact, that's 94 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.759 where I applaud Metro Council. I think for the longest 95 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.079 time doing this show before, when we've had Metro Council on, 96 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.199 Metro Council can get things done. They disagree a bit, 97 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:28.319 and it's it's I don't know if it's because it's 98 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.279 more local, it's not on the federal level. But it's 99 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.920 amazing how we've just lost that ability at the federal 100 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.600 level on so many places to be able to do that. 101 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.839 And it's it's that that's true, and it's it's unfortunately 102 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:40.360 the new norm. 103 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:40.639 It's not. 104 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.920 I mean, we've we've kind of been here, and it 105 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:44.600 doesn't I don't see any sign of that. 106 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:46.959 Yeah you come with the Genie backup model, Yeah, not 107 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:47.399 at all. 108 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:49.720 All right, we got another update of traffic and weather 109 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.079 coming your way as we roll along here at a 110 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.160 seven sent at Kentucky its morning news on news Radio 111 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:59.120 eight forty whas. It is seven sixteen here at Kentucky, 112 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.279 and it's morning news on new Here's Radio eight forty whas. 113 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:04.279 Don't forget to take us with you wherever you go. 114 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.920 Listen live on the iHeart Radio app. Also listen live 115 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:11.240 at whas dot com. Here. I am assuming that everybody's 116 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.399 keeping up with the internet war between Donald Trump and 117 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.000 Elon Musk. Maybe you're not, but if you missed it. 118 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.519 It started with Musk alleging that Trump's name appears in 119 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:27.040 the Jeffrey Epstein files and that I don't know if 120 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.360 that's it's hard for me to really know which jab 121 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.079 is viewed as like the one that was the most 122 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.879 like jaw dropping, not necessarily because of what was alleged, 123 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.120 but you know, you don't necessarily see people with these 124 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.360 type of positions, with this much influence fighting on the internet. 125 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.079 But also, yeah, you kind of do, right, We're talking 126 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.800 about Elon Musk and Donald Trump. And then Trump ended 127 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.600 up claiming that he asked Musk to leave his administration, 128 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.160 citing that Musk's reaction to ending the EV mandates. He 129 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:58.879 called Musk's behavior quote Trump derangement syndrome and said Musk 130 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:03.160 misses the admission. So yeah, that's a few that probably 131 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.839 won't won't end anytime soon, and certainly President Trump's going 132 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:08.000 to be asked about it. But we'll talk about that 133 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.199 in a little bit more with Rore O'Neal coming up 134 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.639 at about eight thirty this morning. All right, So this 135 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.959 is something that I feel like is going to eventually 136 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.000 become a bigger story nationally. And this is out of Lexton, 137 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.800 by the way, And this individual wouldn't shock me if 138 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.879 maybe somebody gets even more details than what's out there, 139 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.360 because the details are kind of wild, and they find 140 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.839 this story to be fascinating, interesting enough to where it 141 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.040 could be like a Netflix documentary. So there is a 142 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:40.120 Kentucky roofing company called Lexington Blue and they collapsed in April, 143 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:46.000 leaving hundreds of customers defrauded employees claiming they were exploited 144 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.839 in The owner is a guy named Brad Pagel, and 145 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:52.360 he's accused of running the business almost like a cult. 146 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:58.639 He promoted psychedelic drug use, engaged in fraudulent practices, and 147 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.839 he's being investigated by the Kentucky Attorney General. And I 148 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.040 just when I see stories like this. I think to 149 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.480 myself if I was in an employee at a place 150 00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:11.120 ran by someone who was operating like this, I mean. 151 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:13.480 I say, why would you stay? 152 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.560 Well, obviously people can just up and leave their job 153 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.959 without a paycheck to depend upon, So I mean just 154 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.240 a cult like workplace would be I mean, and that's 155 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.680 what at least a couple of employees have alleged in 156 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.519 a lawsuit. But I mean he falsely claimed titles like 157 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.959 rev and doctor, which he wanted his employees to call 158 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:38.399 him that, And he very much pushed metaphysical beliefs, calling 159 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:44.120 himself a godlike figure, and had bizarre rules that he enforced, 160 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.279 and employees claimed they were pressured to attend lavish dinners 161 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:52.399 where you know, he would preach self worship and urged 162 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:56.600 them to embody him. And again the psychedelic drug usage 163 00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.480 or the psychedelic drug pressure, I mean, that was the 164 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.199 real thing. It sounds like when it comes to employees 165 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.160 quitting over this and fearing, you know, just what would happen, 166 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:08.319 you know, even after they quit. 167 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.079 So it sounds like my man that was out in 168 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:12.399 San Diego that was making people eat pudding before the 169 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:13.199 comic came in. 170 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.720 Yeah, something like that whole stuff. 171 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:16.720 Is odd, dude. I got in. 172 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:19.560 I got into the story of Jim Jones, oh, just 173 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:21.319 because I remember seeing that as a kid. My parents 174 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.759 had it on TV, and it literally scared me. I 175 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:25.040 didn't understand a whole lot. 176 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.639 Of scary and in borderline fascinating and right. I mean 177 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.320 I probably shouldn't, and I'm not being judgmental necessarily, but 178 00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:36.200 when I anytime I I've just been kind of hooked 179 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.279 into kind of learning about a cult and how it 180 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.480 came together. My first question has always been, how do 181 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.279 people fall into that? 182 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:44.519 That's a great I mean, there's. 183 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.279 The level of manipulation, brainwashing, but it's. 184 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.919 And there's it's a complicated picture because there's a lot 185 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.919 in their past that is endearing them to that sort 186 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.960 of following, and there's that's a big rabbit hole you 187 00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:57.279 can go down and spend a lot of time down. 188 00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:57.720 Heah, I don't. 189 00:08:57.720 --> 00:08:59.120 I mean, look, I love our boss, but if he 190 00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:02.559 wants me to start thinking that he's my God, that's 191 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:04.919 where I draw the line. Gus Allen, That's where I 192 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:08.559 draw the line. All right, I just letting you know. 193 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.960 Yeah, that's a good segment for some day. Ro that 194 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.200 is a wild place.

I'm this was such 207 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:46.200 a cool invention, a cool piece of technology that I 208 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.879 didn't know about that I'm gonna I was about to 209 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:50.679 present it as if it's the coolest thing in the world. 210 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.600 And I was just so anxious and excited to share 211 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.159 with you guys because I want you guys to see 212 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.399 how cool it is. But I often know sometimes I can, 213 00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:58.879 I can really overdo it, and there's nothing worse than like, 214 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:00.759 let me give an exam ample. Have you ever shared 215 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:06.279 like a meme or a TikTok video with somebody and 216 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.639 you think it's so funny. And there's somebody that comes 217 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.720 to mind, maybe your wife, maybe your friend, and you think, 218 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:13.720 you know what, they have a similar sense of humor. 219 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.840 They'll think this is really really funny too. I'm going 220 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:18.600 to share it with them. And you're doing them because 221 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.919 you care about them and you want them to experience the. 222 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:22.240 Joy that you have as well. 223 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.919 And there's nothing that can be more crushing than them 224 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.039 just instantly saying I already saw that. 225 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.759 Exactly you at least just what just enjoyed. 226 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.679 Just tell me that later, because it's you know, oh, 227 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:35.120 sorry for trying to, you know, share my happiness with you. 228 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.120 You've already seen it, you know what. You clearly don't 229 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:38.799 feel the same way that I do because you didn't 230 00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:39.240 share with me. 231 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.080 I'm the person who does the Oh I've already seen. 232 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:45.879 It, as if you haven't done it to me before 233 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:47.159 and I didn't remember it, John. 234 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.399 I mean, let me ask you guys this along that 235 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.600 same lines. You ever have that person who comes up 236 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:53.759 to your cubicle and just wants to talk and you're 237 00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:56.519 busy working, and they go, did I ever tell you 238 00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:57.200 that story? 239 00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:59.960 And you say, yeah, you did, when they really didn't. 240 00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:02.840 When you say you did, They're already in They're already 241 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:03.960 in the process of telling you again. 242 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:04.679 It doesn't matter. 243 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.720 They don't care if if you are aware they've already 244 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:09.799 told the story. They're just gonna do it regardless. So 245 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:11.840 I've told so many people just wroughte it up. So anyways, 246 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:13.720 what I wanted to share was there's this this piece 247 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:19.120 of technology. It is AI Translation earbuds. You can purchase 248 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.559 earbuds that you will put in your ear and if 249 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.960 you are hearing someone speak a language you're not familiar with, 250 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:29.159 it'll pick up on it and it'll tell you what 251 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:31.600 they're saying in your native language. 252 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.159 Is that not cool? That's awesome? 253 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.159 Okay, do you really believe it? Or do you do 254 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:36.600 you really think it's cool? Are you just saying that 255 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:38.679 I'm decided to share with you guys? 256 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:40.519 Let me say yeah, no, And I think that's very 257 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:42.120 cool because I can't tell you the number of people 258 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:43.919 that I have communicated with back when I used to 259 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.960 work in retail and they didn't speak English, but they 260 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:49.960 so you know, and I've seen people do this nowadays too, 261 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.759 that they'll get out their phones because thanks to Google Translate, 262 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.559 but they have to stop they have to type in 263 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:56.000 what they're saying and they have to show you. 264 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:57.399 Then you have to do the same thing. 265 00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:59.360 And when I was in Europe, when I was stationed 266 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:01.240 in Europe in the mid nineties, I did some work 267 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.679 with the UN HDR and we would go down for 268 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.399 meetings and you ever see the UN people with their 269 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.039 earpiece on their ear That was incredibly frustrating because you'd 270 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:10.679 have to go through the whole translation process. 271 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.399 Now we can just do away with it, yeah, which 272 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.279 I think is brilliant. I think it's beautiful. 273 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:18.080 So they rely on AI. Accuracy is up to ninety 274 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:24.000 five percent for clear, simple sentences in the major languages, English, Spanish, Mandarin, 275 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.960 and where it can where it can get tricky is 276 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:33.799 accents and slang, idiot, those kind of things. But I 277 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.360 mean to me, it's not even just about being able 278 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:41.000 to have a full lengthy conversation. But if if it's 279 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.720 working like sixty five to seventy percent, if I'm in 280 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.360 another country, I'll at least be able to be in 281 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.480 the same ballpark with the person who is speaking a 282 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.799 language that I'm not familiar with at all. So I 283 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:53.559 just thought this, it's a it's an invention I would 284 00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:56.559 have never thought of. But it's got to be super convenient. Now. 285 00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:59.639 The hiccups here could be that it needs some type 286 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.440 of can activity, meaning it's going to need you to 287 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:06.840 pair it with your device and share cell service basically 288 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:10.399 internet or Wi Fi. And that's not that's not a 289 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:12.279 crazy thing to do. But like if when I go 290 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.240 to you know, it's not like I travel abroad a lot, 291 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:16.679 but whenever I've been in another country, like when we 292 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.039 go to Cancun, like I can use Wi Fi, but 293 00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:20.919 my cell service doesn't work. So if I'm just out 294 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.200 and about not and I don't speak Spanish, you know, 295 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.759 it wouldn't work in that instance. But I mean still, 296 00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:28.399 one day we'll get there. 297 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:30.919 Yeah, it's cool, right, that's very anytime we can increase 298 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.440 communication in this small world we live in, because that 299 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:36.039 is sorely locking, that's a good thing. 300 00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:37.840 Yeah, that's awesome. No, I had not heard that thing. 301 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:39.960 Thank you for thinking it's as cool as I do. John, 302 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:41.879 I don't know if you can live. I mean, you 303 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.159 didn't see m impressed no comments. 304 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:48.120 Yeah, yeah, I'm not surprised that from you. 305 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:51.080 I should have expected that, and I'll never send you 306 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:55.200 a meme again. Never gonna happen to consider, Yeah, consider 307 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.320 the last meme I sent you, the last one you'll get, 308 00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:59.320 because I just I just wanted to share a good 309 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.480 laugh with my friend and then you know we already 310 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.080 saw that. Man, you're late. Anyways, another update of trafficking 311 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:06.799 weather's coming your way right here on news radio. 312 00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:08.559 Waight forty whas. 313 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.240 Seven forty five here Kentucky and it's morning news on 314 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.720 news radio Waight forty whs.

Hopefully guys will 318 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:27.159 stick around. The tickets for this year's Kentucky State Fair 319 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.200 are now available as they I think they went on 320 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:32.159 sale yesterday. The Fair this year is going to run 321 00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:36.360 August fourteenth through the twenty fourth, and they announced the 322 00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:40.600 lineup as far as entertainment shows, and it's the Texas 323 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.799 Roadhouse Concert Series is back in a lot of a 324 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.039 lot of big name artists at least for me, that 325 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:47.879 are going to be there, and the free concerts they 326 00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:49.399 put onto the fair are always a lot of fun. 327 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:52.480 And I don't know if they catered to me. I 328 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:54.720 say that jokingly. I know that they didn't, but I 329 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:57.080 did not expect to see the name Aaron Tippin on 330 00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:57.679 the lineup. 331 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:02.039 But I think I forgot your nineties guy. Oh yeah, absolutely. 332 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:04.480 I mean these are two things that I that I 333 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.200 love that I really can't I can't explain why I 334 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.159 love them so much. I mean, the Fair is great, yeah, 335 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.000 but like I'm a nerd for the Fair. I would 336 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.440 I would be at the fair every day if I could, 337 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.200 and just and there's really no agenda, no specific thing. 338 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:19.240 I mean, you just walk around at the fair. It's 339 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:22.080 it's a lot. And I mean that in a good way. 340 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.519 They should have you introduced Aaron Tippin at the fair, right, 341 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.639 I would I would faint, I would faint. I mean, 342 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.639 I don't know what it is about nineties country. Maybe 343 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:36.240 it's just because it remains crazy nostalgic because when I 344 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:39.159 was a kid, that's that was oftentimes I guess what 345 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.480 was on in the in the vehicle whenever I was 346 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:44.639 a little kid. Random thing that we don't have time 347 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.000 to get into right now. My my grandfather, he used 348 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:49.559 to he used to be Santa Claus. And I don't 349 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:51.360 mean that literally. I mean he used to like that 350 00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:54.559 was his second career in life, and he was I mean, 351 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:56.720 he got some pretty big gigs. He was the he 352 00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:59.960 was the he was the Santa in the CMT Nashville 353 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:02.679 Christmas Parade every year. So there was always a Grand 354 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:04.679 Marshall that was a country music artist, and we would 355 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:06.519 go and it was a lot of fun. We got 356 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:08.639 some cool access. I got to meet Marty Stewart, which 357 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.600 was pretty cool. So so you know, whenever at that time, 358 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:15.440 you couldn't pull up their music on a streaming app. 359 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.799 You couldn't you couldn't go to YouTube. So I listened 360 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:20.279 to it a lot as a kid. And then once, 361 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:24.720 you know, once music became much easier to access, it's like, 362 00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:27.279 to this day, I'm still like going back in time 363 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.279 when I listen to music that I loved growing up 364 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:31.159 that I didn't hear for so long. I mean, keep 365 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:33.960 in mind, once once we got past like the mid 366 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.480 to late nineties, I mean it I don't know how 367 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:37.879 I mean, I don't remember hearing much of it on 368 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:40.000 the radio. And again, music how you obtained it was 369 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:41.480 much different at the time I grew up in the 370 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.480 era where it became Napster and lime Wire. That was 371 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.600 really big when I was in really that whenever we 372 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:50.840 got to high school. That's how a lot of people, uh, 373 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.320 not me, because I'm not a criminal, obtained music. They 374 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:56.879 would just download it on Napster and lime Wire. So anyways, 375 00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:59.320 I'm a nerd for nineties country and they've got a 376 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:01.960 few different nights where that'll be featured in a big 377 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.279 way including i mean, not just Darreon Tipping, how about 378 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:08.440 Colin Ray and Sammy Kershaw on Sunday on August seventeenth 379 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:11.200 for the Military Sunday Roots and Boots is what they're 380 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:13.279 calling that.
