WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:01.919
<v Speaker 1>We are off and running here on a Tuesday morning.

2
00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:03.919
<v Speaker 1>It is six oh five at Kentucky and its Morning

3
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>News with Coffee and Company, myself, Nick Coffee, the whole

4
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>cruise here, John Alden alongside the company man himself. You

5
00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:12.439
<v Speaker 1>just heard John Chinnon. And we'll have another sports up

6
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>day with Scott coming up in about twenty minutes or so.

7
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>A big, big day yesterday here, yesterday here in Louisville,

8
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.679
<v Speaker 1>as Ford made it official and announced their two billion

9
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>dollar electric vehicle investment here in Louisville. And obviously this

10
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:31.719
<v Speaker 1>is going to create a lot of jobs, and it's

11
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.719
<v Speaker 1>going to impact this city and state in a major way.

12
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:39.119
<v Speaker 1>And Ford has been a big part of the workforce

13
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>here in Louisville. And I know there's many people that

14
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 1>listen to this station every day that spend their days

15
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 1>working on the assembly line at Ford. So just huge overall,

16
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>and I know this is it sounds like this is

17
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.640
<v Speaker 1>in the works for I think about three years, and

18
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.359
<v Speaker 1>there was some rumor that this big news was coming,

19
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and to have it become a fish yesterday certainly a

20
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>big deal and a big enough deal to get Andy Basher,

21
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 1>the Governor of Kentucky here to discuss the impact it's having.

22
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 2>This is a massive investment in our commonwealth. Even more important,

23
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 2>it's securing an incredible twenty two hundred full time jobs

24
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 2>for our people. The best part is these vehicles will

25
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 2>be affordable. They're going to help so many American families

26
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.599
<v Speaker 2>keep more money in their pockets for groceries, medicine, school supplies,

27
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 2>and yes, even that family vacation. This is a massive

28
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 2>investment in our commonwealth.

29
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>So when it comes to the electric vehicle movement, I'm

30
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>not anti electric vehicle. It just doesn't come to mind

31
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>for me when I think about any vehicle that I'm

32
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:49.719
<v Speaker 1>going to have anytime soon, because I don't really plan

33
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>on getting a different vehicle anytime soon. But eventually, that's

34
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.519
<v Speaker 1>probably what we're all going to be driving, right John,

35
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>You and I aren't that far apart in age in

36
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:02.239
<v Speaker 1>the grand scheme of things. But do you think that

37
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.879
<v Speaker 1>you will? I mean the scenario where we don't own

38
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.919
<v Speaker 1>electric vehicles before we call it quits and and our

39
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>life comes to it, And let's just assume that's when

40
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>we're seventy seven or older, like, well, we'll probably own

41
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>multiple electric vehicles by the inn reute.

42
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.039
<v Speaker 3>It wouldn't surprise me. I don't know at what age.

43
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how to predict that far ahead of when,

44
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 3>all especially being the type of person that I am

45
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 3>driving old vehicles. Yeah, but it wouldn't surprise me if

46
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.520
<v Speaker 3>at some point that I'm driving something like that.

47
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.919
<v Speaker 1>If you want to hold on to and this is

48
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 1>I think something we're far far away from. But if

49
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 1>you want to hold on to a vehicle because of

50
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 1>it's paid off and it's you don't you don't want

51
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 1>a new one, you like it, you don't want to

52
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 1>buy anything different. There's a lot of people like that.

53
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.240
<v Speaker 1>It may just become where it is not as convenient

54
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 1>to have a car that has been you know, running

55
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 1>on gasoline. You know what I mean, that's true. Like eventually,

56
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 1>again it's hard for me to eaven envision a scenario

57
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>where you can't find a gas station to fill up

58
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 1>your Toyota or your or your you know, your forward

59
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>pick up, it's not electric, whatever it may be. But eventually,

60
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 1>maybe in one hundred years, I don't know, that's probably

61
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>where we're going to be. Well, that's the thing.

62
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 3>When electric charging stations become just as normal and easy

63
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 3>to find as regular gas stations, and I know there's

64
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 3>probably more than I realize there are, but whenever they're

65
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, kind of second nature. I guess I think

66
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 3>that's when you'll see people like me and you driving

67
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.039
<v Speaker 3>electric vehicles more often.

68
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not looking for them by any means, but

69
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm noticing more of those charging stations everywhere I go.

70
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Now it's more so when I'm not in I mean,

71
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 1>it's it's actually not as often to see them here,

72
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 1>but you know, when I travel, I notice them, and

73
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's not as if they're everywhere, but clearly

74
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 1>there's enough electric vehicles on the roadway to where those

75
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>things are popping up. So the there was a Wall

76
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Street Journal survey that looked at the potential EV buyers

77
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>and found they found that the average age of respondents was,

78
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this can't be right, sixty five. Wow. I mean,

79
00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>that just seemed like to me that it would be

80
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 1>the last deal that would want to they would want

81
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to buy.

82
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.280
<v Speaker 3>But maybe they have more more money, though I'm sure

83
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 3>they're more expensive vehicles. I would imagine.

84
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Forty two percent of electric vehicle owners in the United

85
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>States are age thirty to forty four. That makes way

86
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>more sense in my opinion. And you're right. Yeah, if

87
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you're in your twenties, you may be in you may

88
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>be super interested in this because you just know it's

89
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>the future. But you know, being a fort you know,

90
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 1>can you go how many people can go buy a tesla?

91
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Right?

92
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>There's not there's not a used marketplace for teslas that

93
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 1>were manufactured in two thousand and two, like your like

94
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:32.399
<v Speaker 1>your camera, you know what I mean.

95
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.079
<v Speaker 3>It's just yeah, it's it's much different.

96
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.720
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, eventually we'll be there, and uh, there'll be many, many,

97
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 1>many electric forward vehicles on the roadways in years to come,

98
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 1>and they'll be they'll be manufactured right here in this city,

99
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.720
<v Speaker 1>in this state, which of course is a good thing,

100
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 1>right all right. Uh, I shouldn't be as fascinated by

101
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>this as I am, but I just am. And that

102
00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>is scammers because they're smart. If they used their savviness

103
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 1>to you know, do something productive and not be criminals,

104
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the world would be a better place. But Kentucky is

105
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.519
<v Speaker 1>not in a good place compared to other states as

106
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.079
<v Speaker 1>far as falling victim to scammers. And there's some numbers

107
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to share with you, and a new website

108
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that is designed to help those in this state to

109
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.959
<v Speaker 1>detect if they're being scammed or not, because again, sometimes

110
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.399
<v Speaker 1>I think, well, why would you fall for that? But

111
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.399
<v Speaker 1>then sometimes I'm like, damn, that would have got me too.

112
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.279
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get to a cook update traffic and

113
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 1>whether Bobby Ellis will tell us how the road lays

114
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>are looking. I believe this is the first day where

115
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the majority, maybe the vast majority of school systems in

116
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 1>the Kentucky and a region are back in school, which

117
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.399
<v Speaker 1>you know what that means a change in traffic. So

118
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.519
<v Speaker 1>Bobby will tell us how we're looking out there. We'll

119
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>also get an update on Matt Melosovich when it comes

120
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.480
<v Speaker 1>to the forecast right here on News Radio eight forty

121
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:55.079
<v Speaker 1>whas So, the state of Kentucky has launched a statewide

122
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:59.759
<v Speaker 1>anti scam website, but Shier has decided to take new

123
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:04.519
<v Speaker 1>act to protect Kentuckians who fall victim to the savvy

124
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>scammers that are all over the world. So there's a

125
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>new state run website that is aimed to prevent this

126
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 1>from happening by providing awareness of I guess trendy scams

127
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.839
<v Speaker 1>that are out there, and of course, unfortunately, how you

128
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>can recover from being a victim to scammers. So the

129
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.639
<v Speaker 1>website is Stop Scams dot ky dot GV it is,

130
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:29.040
<v Speaker 1>it's now live and it's your one stop resource essentially

131
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:33.160
<v Speaker 1>for spotting these scams, reporting them, and again finding recovery

132
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.279
<v Speaker 1>tools if you have been if you've been targeted. And

133
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:38.279
<v Speaker 1>I think this is the right way to describe it.

134
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Bashir calls these scams mean and cruel and saying they

135
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.079
<v Speaker 1>strip Kentuckians of savings meant for essentials like rent, groceries,

136
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.519
<v Speaker 1>and retirement. And when you think about that, the vulnerable

137
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:52.319
<v Speaker 1>are those that would in fact end up losing out

138
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>on retirement money, life savings, that kind of stuff. So

139
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.120
<v Speaker 1>there's been progress made in Kentucky, but the twenty twenty

140
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.480
<v Speaker 1>four FBI report shows the Kentuckians are still losing over

141
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:07.079
<v Speaker 1>seventy four million dollars annually to online scammers. Think about that,

142
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean seventy four million dollars a year in this state.

143
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:18.319
<v Speaker 1>That's seventy four million of of of citizens in this state.

144
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 1>That's their money that scammers are taking, Which I mean,

145
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:23.920
<v Speaker 1>does that not if anything? I mean, look seventy four

146
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:25.279
<v Speaker 1>million dollars, there is a lot of money I think

147
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>might no matter how you're looking at it. But doesn't

148
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.519
<v Speaker 1>that speak to how I think it speaks to more

149
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.360
<v Speaker 1>how effective scammers are than maybe how vulnerable other people are.

150
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.079
<v Speaker 1>Clearly it's a little bit of both. But I mean

151
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:39.199
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot of money. I mean, I'm gonna look

152
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>it up. Where does Kentucky rank compared to other states?

153
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Because clearly we've always I think been towards the bottom.

154
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.319
<v Speaker 1>But maybe that's changed because again there has been progress.

155
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.759
<v Speaker 1>But even whenever you have progress made, you know, the

156
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:59.399
<v Speaker 1>scammers they're getting smarter every day too. And I haven't

157
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>even thought of this, but it's so true. Imagine how

158
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>much easier it potentially could be for scammers with the

159
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>powerful thing that is called artificial intelligence. I mean, yikes.

160
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>So ata Kentucky is thirty fifth out of fifty when

161
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:21.160
<v Speaker 1>it comes to preventing scams. So yeah, not good. And

162
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.360
<v Speaker 1>let me give you another example of one that is

163
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I think if you really think about it and consider

164
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:32.159
<v Speaker 1>sort of what is being presented to you, you would

165
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 1>just assume this is probably too good to be true.

166
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:38.240
<v Speaker 1>But I had a friend who their mother was retired

167
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:42.559
<v Speaker 1>and she was looking for some type of part time

168
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:44.799
<v Speaker 1>work to stay busy have a little bit of extra income,

169
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 1>and she'd been retired for some years and she was

170
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>head up by a company that emailed her, had a

171
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.200
<v Speaker 1>legit website, and they were offering to pay just like

172
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.399
<v Speaker 1>a stipend of money per month. I think it was

173
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.279
<v Speaker 1>like they were going to give her one hundred dollars

174
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>a month if she had her vehicle wrapped in a

175
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>logo of like a I think it might have been

176
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:11.440
<v Speaker 1>like an energy drink or something, and they were just

177
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to get people to allow you to basically use

178
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.519
<v Speaker 1>they were wanted to use your vehicle for advertising space.

179
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:23.320
<v Speaker 1>And again, it all looked legit as far as the visual,

180
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:28.679
<v Speaker 1>the website, the process. But what I remember throwing out

181
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:30.159
<v Speaker 1>there and I don't know if I prevented it, but

182
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I was glad to know that they didn't fall followed

183
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:36.000
<v Speaker 1>through with the offer because it was a scam. This

184
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.559
<v Speaker 1>was a retired woman who doesn't leave her home. Why

185
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>are they going to give her over one thousand dollars

186
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.639
<v Speaker 1>a month to I mean, so that's where you just

187
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:45.759
<v Speaker 1>have to think about, like this makes yeah, it sounds

188
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.320
<v Speaker 1>it sounds awesome, this is perfect, but it's clearly a

189
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.399
<v Speaker 1>little bit too good to be true, and also doesn't

190
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.600
<v Speaker 1>make any sense why they are coming after you. And

191
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I later learned that there's many people that fell victim

192
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.879
<v Speaker 1>to that kind of thing, and you know, they present

193
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.360
<v Speaker 1>something that's really not existent only to just make you

194
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.080
<v Speaker 1>more likely to give up your info so they can

195
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:08.159
<v Speaker 1>take that and do what they do, steal your identity,

196
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.919
<v Speaker 1>drain your bank accounts, that kind of stuff. So it's

197
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.919
<v Speaker 1>a real issue. And again the new state website to

198
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:17.960
<v Speaker 1>help with it in every aspect is Stopscams dot Ky

199
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 1>dot gov. All right, we've got an update of traffick

202
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday was far worse than any of the eight days

203
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I was in the Panhandle.

204
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:33.279
<v Speaker 3>Just gross.

205
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.399

207
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.799
<v Speaker 1>it is Kentucky and his morning news hero news Radio

208
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.679
<v Speaker 1>eight forty whas. Coffee and Company with you, Nick Coffee,

209
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:49.159
<v Speaker 1>that's me for the full crew is here today and

210
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.879
<v Speaker 1>we've got I think just about everybody in the Kentucky

211
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and a region back in school, which means the roadways

212
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.279
<v Speaker 1>are a little more busy, and that could mean there's

213
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.559
<v Speaker 1>more traffic. You'll have an update on traffic up here

214
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>at about four and a half minutes from Bobby Ellis.

215
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>But you noticed a difference in traffic this morning, didn't you,

216
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:08.399
<v Speaker 1>mister John, And tell.

217
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:10.360
<v Speaker 3>Us what you really think about the drivers this morning.

218
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.320
<v Speaker 3>So for me, it's very different each and every day.

219
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.879
<v Speaker 3>But I did notice on I sixty five north, really

220
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.159
<v Speaker 3>right around the time you're by the Expo Center and

221
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Louisville Ellen and Stadium and all that sort of stuff,

222
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.200
<v Speaker 3>vehicles traveling a lot faster than normal, and people being

223
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.519
<v Speaker 3>a lot more impatient. I had somebody come up behind me,

224
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.480
<v Speaker 3>and I don't believe I did anything to this driver

225
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.159
<v Speaker 3>or vehicle, but they turned on their brights and completely

226
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.960
<v Speaker 3>tailed me for a couple maybe about a mile or

227
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.679
<v Speaker 3>two on that part of that stretch of ICE sixty five.

228
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 3>I was just talking about and I don't know if

229
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.399
<v Speaker 3>that person was angry or intoxicated or what it was,

230
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:49.200
<v Speaker 3>but that was the only very strange thing I ran into.

231
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.679
<v Speaker 3>But otherwise, there was just a lot of people in

232
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:52.519
<v Speaker 3>a hurry this morning.

233
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I just noticed more cars on the roadway, which again

234
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.480
<v Speaker 1>that tends to happen when when school's back in session.

235
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.440
<v Speaker 1>And this is the first time I've been in this position,

236
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>doing this shift in the mornings where you've got school

237
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:07.200
<v Speaker 1>going on, and I tell you what, when it comes

238
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:10.399
<v Speaker 1>to just the difference in the amount of cars, and

239
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:12.720
<v Speaker 1>it makes total sense, to be honest with you, but

240
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, you really start to see a real increase.

241
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.600
<v Speaker 1>If you're commute is probably between like seven and eight

242
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.919
<v Speaker 1>thirty in the morning, maybe maybe even around right now.

243
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:27.080
<v Speaker 1>But even for us who in the summer, it's it's

244
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:30.879
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty deserted along some of the roadways. It's you know,

245
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.080
<v Speaker 1>there's still more people out because depending upon your situation,

246
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.080
<v Speaker 1>rather it be the employees that work for the school

247
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.480
<v Speaker 1>systems that have to get there super early, or maybe

248
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:43.440
<v Speaker 1>you are responsible and you don't rely on the school

249
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.279
<v Speaker 1>system's bus transportation to where you know, people get their

250
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:49.759
<v Speaker 1>day started early. And yeah, I know with school back

251
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 1>in well just about everybody around here, we'll see more

252
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.519
<v Speaker 1>busy roadways and I'm sure that means more traffic, and

253
00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:58.840
<v Speaker 1>that's that's not really good for anybody, right. However, there's

254
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:00.440
<v Speaker 1>one way you could look at it, look at it

255
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:02.360
<v Speaker 1>as a positive, and that means you may have more

256
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.440
<v Speaker 1>time to enjoy the experience that is Kentucky at It's

257
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:08.519
<v Speaker 1>morning news with coffee and company before you get to work.

258
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:10.720
<v Speaker 1>So just keep that in mind. And I hope again

259
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:14.679
<v Speaker 1>you can sense sarcasm there. I'm sure you know, no

260
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:16.519
<v Speaker 1>matter what we do, if you're late for work and

261
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.279
<v Speaker 1>you're sitting in traffic, you're going to be upset. And

262
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I totally get it. But maybe we can distract you

263
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.360
<v Speaker 1>from being upset. All right, So some big news yesterday

264
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>towards the end of the show. That is I think

265
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.799
<v Speaker 1>like the fifth different big announcement we've had as far

266
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:34.000
<v Speaker 1>as broadcast rights to sports entertainment events. It was yesterday

267
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:38.799
<v Speaker 1>the UFC announced their deal with Paramount. So this is

268
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.919
<v Speaker 1>a one. Let's see, it's a seven year deal worth

269
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:46.320
<v Speaker 1>an average of one point one billion per year. So

270
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:51.559
<v Speaker 1>Paramount sky Dance Corporation, they now are the exclusive broadcast

271
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:53.960
<v Speaker 1>rights owner of the UFC, which will start in twenty

272
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:59.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty six. And this, I mean the UFC has grown

273
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.679
<v Speaker 1>over the years and clearly it is a big time

274
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.559
<v Speaker 1>television product. But what's different here is that now when

275
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:08.480
<v Speaker 1>it comes to what you get out of the I

276
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:12.840
<v Speaker 1>mean subscribers that are part of Paramount's streaming service, Paramount Plus,

277
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>they are going to get premium UFC events at no

278
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.960
<v Speaker 1>cost beyond their regular Paramount Plus subscription. So what this

279
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:24.360
<v Speaker 1>has done there's no more pay per view model for

280
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:27.399
<v Speaker 1>the UFC, which is pretty substantial when it comes to

281
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:31.639
<v Speaker 1>just how long that's been around. So this does in

282
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:37.720
<v Speaker 1>fact end ESPN's deal with with UFC, which I think

283
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.039
<v Speaker 1>makes sense. But what's interesting that I'm not sure a

284
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.559
<v Speaker 1>lot of people really know, maybe just because you don't care,

285
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.240
<v Speaker 1>or maybe because you don't follow UFC or the ww

286
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:48.799
<v Speaker 1>because you got to give in mine. Last week, it

287
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.000
<v Speaker 1>was the big news that the ESPN and the WWE

288
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.679
<v Speaker 1>made a big announcement that you're now going to see

289
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.279
<v Speaker 1>some of the WWE's content within the ESPN platform. Arms

290
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:06.240
<v Speaker 1>So TKO, I believe, is the name of Yeah Tko.

291
00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what's it called Yeah TKO Group Holdings. They

292
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:14.240
<v Speaker 1>actually own both the WWE and the UFC. I don't

293
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.759
<v Speaker 1>know if many people realize that, but that just speaks

294
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:19.639
<v Speaker 1>to how I mean, like they're now all when it

295
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:24.240
<v Speaker 1>comes to sports entertainment wrestling clearly is choreographed and UFC

296
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.159
<v Speaker 1>is not. But they're under the same parent company and

297
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.240
<v Speaker 1>they are in bed with ESPN when it comes to

298
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.159
<v Speaker 1>the wrestling, and they're in bed with Paramount when it

299
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.759
<v Speaker 1>comes to UFC and a lot of money. I mean,

300
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the Paramount deal has mentioned seven point seven billion over

301
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:47.879
<v Speaker 1>seven years, and the ESPNWWE deal, which will start same

302
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:52.039
<v Speaker 1>year is one point six billion over five years, so

303
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.360
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and twenty five million a year. And again,

304
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.720
<v Speaker 1>for what it's worth, the premium live events for the WWE,

305
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:00.720
<v Speaker 1>including WrestleMania, Summer Slam, all the big pay per views,

306
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:05.159
<v Speaker 1>those are going to be streaming on ESPN's new direct

307
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:10.120
<v Speaker 1>to consumer service, with some similar different broadcast versions on

308
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.639
<v Speaker 1>their different networks. So just keep the mind the difference

309
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.759
<v Speaker 1>in money there is that UFC is all under Paramount now,

310
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:17.840
<v Speaker 1>whereas the WE, they still are going to have their

311
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Monday night raw television show that's on Netflix, and then

312
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:24.000
<v Speaker 1>they have SmackDown, which I believe is on one of

313
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:26.399
<v Speaker 1>the TV networks out there. So WV split up a

314
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.519
<v Speaker 1>little bit. But yeah, people, I know that there's some

315
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:32.519
<v Speaker 1>people thinking like who watches that? How Well, clearly there's

316
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:35.600
<v Speaker 1>a market for it, because that's a lot of money

317
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:39.639
<v Speaker 1>for those broadcast rights that these big companies like Paramount

318
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Disney which owns ESPN, they know they can monetize that,

319
00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:45.919
<v Speaker 1>so a lot of money. All right, let's get to

320
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:47.879
<v Speaker 1>an update on the roadways. Bobby Ellis will tell us

321
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>how it's looking with the traffic. Matt Melosavitch will getus

322
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:52.480
<v Speaker 1>caught up on the forecast as we move along here

323
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:54.960
<v Speaker 1>on a Tuesday morning on Who's Radio Weight forty WHS.

324
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:58.600
<v Speaker 1>We talked to Rory and Eal of NBC News a

325
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:03.159
<v Speaker 1>little bit earlier this morning about the Snap Benefits, which

326
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:08.440
<v Speaker 1>is now essentially food stamps, and how there's some potential

327
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:11.200
<v Speaker 1>changes coming to where that would not cover food that

328
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.519
<v Speaker 1>is clearly not nutritious it's actually bad for you, like

329
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:17.839
<v Speaker 1>some candy and sodas and whatnot. And that reminded me

330
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.440
<v Speaker 1>of something I read yesterday. It really fascinated me. And

331
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.240
<v Speaker 1>it's not like I'm gonna take this into consideration to

332
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.880
<v Speaker 1>try to become healthier, but it is just really interesting

333
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:32.480
<v Speaker 1>when you look at how the Amish are able to

334
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:38.480
<v Speaker 1>stay healthy. So the Amish have a four percent obesity rate,

335
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:40.799
<v Speaker 1>which is ten times lower than the rest of America.

336
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.680
<v Speaker 1>And they're not counting calories, tracking macros. They don't have

337
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:51.079
<v Speaker 1>gym memberships, fitness apps, certainly no ozembic. Yet they're leaner, healthier,

338
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>and happier seemingly. I mean, I don't know anybody specifically

339
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:58.079
<v Speaker 1>that I can reference, but I mean have they And

340
00:17:58.119 --> 00:17:59.559
<v Speaker 1>again I don't know about the happiness, but if you

341
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:02.599
<v Speaker 1>are healthy, ID assume that contributes to some potential happiness.

342
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:04.880
<v Speaker 1>But here is just some examples of their way of

343
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:07.720
<v Speaker 1>life that goes a long way, a lot of movement

344
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>throughout the day. Amish men average over eighteen thousand steps

345
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:14.599
<v Speaker 1>a day. Women average over fourteen thousand steps a day.

346
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:18.680
<v Speaker 1>We're talking walking, lifting, hauling, building, of course, growing their

347
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:21.839
<v Speaker 1>own food. Movement is a big part of their of

348
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:24.680
<v Speaker 1>their every day and when it comes to eating food,

349
00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:28.759
<v Speaker 1>they only eat natural food. There's no processing, no chemicals,

350
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.839
<v Speaker 1>seed oils. They eat high carbon, high fat foods, but

351
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.880
<v Speaker 1>still stay lean and it's because their food is all natural.

352
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.559
<v Speaker 1>And also sleep. They sleep with the sun, wake up

353
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:43.519
<v Speaker 1>when the sun rises, relax, wine down when it goes

354
00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:45.759
<v Speaker 1>to get when it goes dark, and then of course

355
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.160
<v Speaker 1>go to sleep soon after that. So their circadian rhythm

356
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.559
<v Speaker 1>is dialed in which that can improve your mood and metabolism,

357
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:58.440
<v Speaker 1>make eat easier to stay lean and healthy. And this

358
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:00.279
<v Speaker 1>is more of a mental thing, I suppose, but just

359
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:06.319
<v Speaker 1>living with purpose, Like they're not chasing status or any

360
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:10.240
<v Speaker 1>social media clout. Their focus is every day their faith,

361
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 1>family and contributing to the Amish community. And there's legitimate

362
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.039
<v Speaker 1>scientific studies that show that people who have a purpose

363
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.880
<v Speaker 1>live longer, and I think that totally makes sense. And

364
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:24.759
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to just living a simple life, I

365
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:26.759
<v Speaker 1>mean there's not as much. I mean, I don't want

366
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.319
<v Speaker 1>to act like it's but again, they're not trying to

367
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:34.640
<v Speaker 1>keep up with the joneses or stressing about jobs and career, money,

368
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:37.759
<v Speaker 1>status because that's just not their way of life and

369
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:42.160
<v Speaker 1>something that I can't imagine not having. But clearly they

370
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.319
<v Speaker 1>don't have screen time, right, I mean, we're on screens

371
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.119
<v Speaker 1>all day, work in front of your computer, watching TV,

372
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>scroll and social media, and it's terrible for your sleep,

373
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.480
<v Speaker 1>increases your risk of anxiety and depression. Because more and

374
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:58.960
<v Speaker 1>this is just my opinion on it, you now have

375
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:04.400
<v Speaker 1>access to see that you are not of status that

376
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.240
<v Speaker 1>others are that didn't used to exist. You would know,

377
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:08.920
<v Speaker 1>but you didn't see it. Now you can see it

378
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:11.880
<v Speaker 1>every second. I mean, you can watch movies back in

379
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.759
<v Speaker 1>the day, but now we're constantly comparing ourselves to others

380
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:19.319
<v Speaker 1>without even any real intent because it's just in front

381
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:26.559
<v Speaker 1>of our face everywhere. So another thing that it says

382
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:28.759
<v Speaker 1>here is that they eat their main meal around noon,

383
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:31.400
<v Speaker 1>and that is a big deal when it comes to

384
00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:34.680
<v Speaker 1>digestive enzymes when they're at their peak, and it can

385
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:39.559
<v Speaker 1>help you help you digest your food better. So I

386
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:43.519
<v Speaker 1>can't think if I've ever seen an Amish individual that

387
00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:48.319
<v Speaker 1>I would label as obese, but yeah, they've clearly got

388
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.400
<v Speaker 1>to figure it out as far as health. The more

389
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you know. All right, let's get to an update on

390
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:56.839
<v Speaker 1>traffic and weather. Matt Melosavitch will tell us how human

391
00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:58.079
<v Speaker 1>and hot it's going to be today. I hope he

392
00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:00.319
<v Speaker 1>gives us good news, but if it's anything like yeah, yesterday,

393
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:02.519
<v Speaker 1>they won't be It won't be the case. Also, Scott's
