WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.240 Good Thursday morning, Kentucky, and it is six o four 2 00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:05.240 here a Kentucky. This Morning News with Nick Coffee on 3 00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:09.039 news Radio eight forty Whas don't forget. Take us with 4 00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:11.640 you wherever you go. Listen live on the iHeartRadio app. 5 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.160 Also listen live at whas dot com. And I want 6 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.760 to remind folks of a feature that is relatively new, 7 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:19.640 but not brand new. It's the talkback feature. So if 8 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.879 you listen to us and you were listening via the 9 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.839 iHeart Radio app, you will see that microphone that is 10 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.000 there on your device, and if you click that microphone, 11 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.679 you will be prompted to allow the app to utilize 12 00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.679 your microphone on your phone, which I'm assuming people have 13 00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.280 had to do that before with other apps and whatnot. However, 14 00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.039 that will give you the ability to interact with us 15 00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:45.439 and share your thoughts, your you know, your opinion on 16 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.079 whatever it is we're talking about. You know, I always 17 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.320 say questions, complaints, compliments, insults, whatever you've got, feel free 18 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:52.880 to send them our way. I said this at the 19 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.320 beginning of the show today. I come from a nine 20 00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.920 plus year run where interaction was was a big part 21 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.600 of it, and now now people interact with radio shows 22 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.200 in a variety of ways. And this is not at 23 00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.120 all what I used to do on sports talk, but 24 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.439 I do like the thought of people feeling as if 25 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.400 they can express and share their thoughts. And that's not 26 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.480 to say that everybody who does share some feedback on 27 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:17.120 the talkback feature is going to have it played on 28 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.400 the air, but you never know, you do have a 29 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.280 good chance of getting your your voice heard if you're 30 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:24.239 going to if you're going to compliment us. 31 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:28.359 Hey, Nick love the show, Glad Scott's back. I think 32 00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:30.040 the crew's really done a good job. 33 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:31.840 Keep up the good work. 34 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.159 So hopefully you guys can since sarcasm and thank you 35 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:36.640 for that message. Bet We're not just going to play compliments, 36 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.040 but I do want to give you just an example 37 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.319 of what it was because this, again, it's relatively new, 38 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.959 and I want to really I'm gonna probably do it 39 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.840 today and tomorrow just really stress that, Hey, it's there 40 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:48.439 if you want to, you want to share your thoughts. 41 00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:50.159 I mean, I'm sure when we talk about a lot 42 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.640 of things going on here locally, you would have an opinion, 43 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.560 you'd have a thought, and we encourage your your you know, 44 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.000 your you sharing your opinion and it didn't have to 45 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.439 necessarily be about the show specifically, but just about sort 46 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.239 of what we're talking about. So again, it's talkback feature 47 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.199 if you're listening on the iHeart Radio app on your device. 48 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.280 I suppose if you're using iHeart Radio within like your computer, 49 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:15.159 like on a web browser, I would imagine that that 50 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.159 feature does not exist there. But man, everybody's on a 51 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.280 device nowadays, so again, just know that that is there 52 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.400 if you want to, uh, you want to interact with us. 53 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.680 Very nice and stuff.

But whenever I would, 73 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.319 I would not realize that I would slip up and 74 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.240 say something incorrectly, or just get a specific detail wrong, 75 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:09.479 or just more often. 76 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:10.560 Than not, it's it's it's a name. 77 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.319 It's just not you know, it's saying a name incorrectly 78 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.159 or having a name wrong is one of the many 79 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.360 things that I that I say that is incorrect, and 80 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.159 I want my produc I've always one of my producer 81 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.319 to let me know so I can correct myself as 82 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.240 quickly as possible, to prevent you know, all all available 83 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:33.199 members of the correction police force from you know, sirens 84 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.520 on heading my way let me know, hey, you got 85 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.280 this wrong, right, because you know I want to avoid that. 86 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.639 And again, I like, I'm gonna make this won't be 87 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.759 the This will not be the next mistake I make, 88 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.520 the next goof I have. As far as saying something incorrectly, 89 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.479 it will not be the last. Sure, it happens often, 90 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.159 and it's not as if I'm too sensitive to be told, hey, 91 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.599 you got this wrong. I just I try to correct 92 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.919 myself as quick as possible to avoid those that just 93 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.400 want to let you know, hey, you mean this one 94 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.680 specific detail, you got it wrong. Well, thanks for paying attention, 95 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.199 and again we appreciate you correcting us. But we make 96 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:07.479 mistakes at times. It happens. 97 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.960 I've developed some great relationships through folks that started initially 98 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.439 by them either calling the station or shooting me an 99 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.240 email and saying, Scott, this, this is really, this is 100 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.279 what happened here. He kind of got this wrong and 101 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:19.800 I was totally okay. And it goes back to my 102 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.720 days of working in retail back in high school and 103 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:24.920 even post high school. And you know, if someone would 104 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.439 ask me a question, I had zero problems telling that 105 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.279 person I don't know the right answer for you. And 106 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.480 I found out that folks are more receptive to that 107 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.879 when you admit to them, hey, look, I just don't 108 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.319 know and or I screwed that up, or I got 109 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.439 that wrong, And that carries me well in my relationship 110 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.399 even with my wife. I have zero problems with telling 111 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.360 my wife you were right, I was absolutely wrong there. 112 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.920 I mean the humility and because I see sometimes not 113 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:50.800 just in radio, but I see it in media, in 114 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.839 our business and other avenues and other people where there 115 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.680 are some people that just absolutely refuse to admit that 116 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.839 they got something wrong, and they will go out of 117 00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.040 their way to kind of spin it in a way 118 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.480 that they weren't wrong. And I find out that that's 119 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:05.680 even that's harder than name. 120 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:06.800 It's called being stubborn. 121 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.839 It is being stubborn, right, and so so when a 122 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.519 listener uses something like this and they'll reach out to me, 123 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.920 like Kaylen ryback over at Bellerman and it's kind of 124 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:15.879 a running joke now. 125 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:17.680 And we talk with each other when we see each other. 126 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.079 And you know, I just because one it makes me 127 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.399 smarter because usually if Kaylen will email me and tell me, hey, 128 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:25.639 so and so's name is pronounced this way, that's awesome 129 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.319 because then I make a note of it. In fact, 130 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.519 I have a here on my computer with the program 131 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.360 I use for sports, I have a running directory of 132 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.560 pronunciations and a lot of them. 133 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.000 A lot of them come from people who. 134 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.759 Sent me an emailers reached out to me and said, Scott, no, 135 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.319 you say it this way or this way. 136 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.399 So yeah, listeners, I love you. I love that feature. 137 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.000 I used to be good at names I used to 138 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.720 consider myself and look, I don't consider myself great at 139 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:49.079 many things. 140 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:50.560 So it's not like I'm just, oh, I'm great at this. 141 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.480 I used to be really good at remembering names, and 142 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.639 now I'm terrible. I don't know what's happened, but I 143 00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:58.879 got so it's one of the things. I've lost my 144 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.160 fastball as far as my memory, and now I get 145 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:02.639 in my head to where I'm thinking, I know this 146 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.000 person's name. Why can't I think of it? What's this 147 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.319 blockage going on? So yeah, maybe I need to start 148 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.079 taking notes like you can only help. All Right, We've 149 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.680 got another sports up day coming up at about fifteen minutes, 150 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:16.560 but I want to get to on the other side. 151 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.199 Here is a report coming out from John Rostein, and 152 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.360 it is who the Louisville Cardinals are going to be 153 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:25.519 playing this year in the acc SEC Challenge. A couple 154 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.120 of familiar faces that Pat Kelsey, well, I don't know 155 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.040 how familiar he is with them, but Louisville fans certainly 156 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.319 familiar with these two. We'll talk about that next right 157 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.000 here at Kentucky and it's morning News on News Radio 158 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:40.120 eight forty whas it is six sixteen here at NewsRadio 159 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:43.319 eight forty whas John jamming. 160 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.439 He is jamming, That's what he does. 161 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:49.120 Hey, he's a rocker, rocking John all right. 162 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.319 So yesterday it was reported by John Rostein of CBS Sports, 163 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.879 who covers college basketball, and I feel like he breaks 164 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.639 this every year. He's the one who has the pairings 165 00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:02.519 in the annual acc SEC Challenge. So this is not official, 166 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.439 but I would say that it is likely going to 167 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:07.360 be official at some point, as this has been the 168 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.959 rumored opponent for Louisville and Pat Kelcey in their I 169 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.759 guess the third year in this acc SEC Challenge, and 170 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.040 it's gonna be Arkansas and the Razorback. So according to Rostein, 171 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.360 Louisvill will travel to Fayetteville to take on John Caliperi 172 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:28.040 and Kenny Payne. So that clearly is a big storyline. 173 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.040 I could be I could be wrong, but I well, 174 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.600 I don't know. I was gonna say, when it comes 175 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:38.959 to the Arkansas side, do you think they they wanted this, 176 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:43.839 this matchup, this pairing, Because I would say, if I 177 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:45.959 had to guess, I would say no. But one I'm 178 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.480 just guessing, and two it's not because I'm saying they're 179 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:52.439 scared of Louisville and Pat Kelcey. But the storyline is 180 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.279 going to be that Kenny Payne is going to be 181 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.000 He's not the head coach, he's an assistant, but. 182 00:07:58.079 --> 00:07:58.519 He will be. 183 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.199 You know that Louisville's going to play a program that 184 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.720 one is now coached by a coach that was at 185 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.480 the rival of Louisville for a long time. And clearly 186 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.120 Cali Perry is a big name brand in college basketball 187 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.480 and one of the one of the rare remaining sort 188 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.240 of figures within college basketball. He's a no name. He's 189 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:19.920 done in a long time, had a lot of success, 190 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.480 has been involved in obviously some controversy, but that's been many, 191 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.560 many years. So nonetheless, cal Perry's a no name, and 192 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.199 he had a lot of success against Louisville and the rivalry. 193 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.800 He did a lot of things well at Kentucky, and 194 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:33.840 really he did it throughout until the very end. It 195 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:35.759 just kind of that whole thing had run its course. 196 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:38.799 And obviously when you have upsets against teams like Saint 197 00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:43.480 Peter's and Oakland and the NSAA Tournament, that will that 198 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:47.720 will obviously, you know, lead to your fan base realizing 199 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.159 this is this is slipping this is not what it 200 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.639 once was. So Cal will get a chance to play 201 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.759 Louisville once again. And I would just assume, given that 202 00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:59.840 the Cal Kenny Payne relationship is as strong as it 203 00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:03.039 is no surprise that as soon as Louisville moved on 204 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.440 from Kenny Payne, he went right back to being on 205 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.600 John Caliperry's bench. But this is going to just bring 206 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:14.759 up the fact that Kenny Payne quite literally had probably 207 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.759 the worst tenure that you will ever see at a 208 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:22.600 high major college basketball program. Certainly one of those programs 209 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:24.720 that is in the top tier of the sport. Louisville's 210 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.120 not a top five program of all time, but there's 211 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.720 somewhere between six and ten, depending on how you want 212 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:31.399 to look at it. 213 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.039 So, uh, you have you ever seen and you've seen 214 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:34.679 your fair share. 215 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.440 We went through the Steve Cragthorpe ear with Louisville, Nick, 216 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:38.679 and I was going to ask you this question the 217 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:42.039 other day. Have you ever seen a darker time? I mean, 218 00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.320 I'm not the Patino thing aside. I'm talking about on 219 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.600 the field stuff. A darker time for Louisville sports than 220 00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:48.759 during the Kenny Payne era. 221 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:50.120 No, as far as the impact. 222 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:53.120 No, I mean that's like Steve Kragthorpe And. 223 00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:57.799 No, there's no comparison, Cooper, there's no comparison. Yeah, that's crazy. 224 00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.440 I mean it's crazy to think. And when you and 225 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.799 I talked off, I remember my son coming home from Zay. 226 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.159 He would drive home from Xavier to watch the Cardinals, 227 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.639 despite the fact he had a basketball right outside his 228 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.759 front door. But he loves the Cardinals. And we were 229 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:10.559 sitting watching the game one day and he was, this 230 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.679 just doesn't feel right. This, I don't know where I'm at. 231 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.440 It's like some sort of twilight zone for him. It 232 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:16.919 was weird. 233 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.399 Still doesn't seem like it really happened, But it did. 234 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:24.159 And that's it's not that people are in disbelief, like 235 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:25.679 they're thinking, no way that really happened. 236 00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:26.720 Everybody knows it was real. 237 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:28.759 Yeah, because something you don't forget, especially if you're a 238 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.240 fan that has made that emotional investment and you're considered 239 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.799 a diehard, as they say. But Pat Kelsey brought us 240 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.519 back to life. And I say us because I'm a 241 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.720 Louisville fan, but he brought the program back to life. 242 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.480 And you're one with a good season that had a 243 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.720 lot of a lot of success and a lot of 244 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.759 big moments for fans, and when you have that happened 245 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:51.720 that early. Thankfully, not many people are thinking about Kenny Payne. 246 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:52.320 Right If there was. 247 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.159 Truly this big mess and you were still suffering from 248 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:59.120 the lingering effects of having two disastrous years where you 249 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:01.799 won four games and then you won eight, then you'd 250 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.840 be thinking Kenny. But he's out of sight, out of 251 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.559 mind because we just got lost in the new era 252 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.879 and a what a great start it has been for 253 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.240 Pat Kelson. So we'll talk a little more about that 254 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.000 later on as far as Louisville's non conference schedule, how 255 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.639 it's shaping up. But we got another update of traffic 256 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.240 and weather coming your way right now on news radio 257 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:21.360 eight forty whas. 258 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:23.639 Thank you, John. 259 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:25.639 It is Kentucky and his morning news with Nick Coffee 260 00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:29.600 on news Radio eight forty whas six thirty six. 261 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:30.840 Here on a Thursday morning. 262 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:34.919 This was in one of John's newscasts yesterday, so I'm 263 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:37.279 a little late on it, but I was reading this 264 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.440 morning and I'm so fascinated by this story. I think 265 00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.679 this is something that you could easily see a movie 266 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:44.399 made out of. 267 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:46.559 There is in this story again. 268 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:49.559 It got a lot of attention when it initially happened, 269 00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.679 but the update is is why it's back in the news. 270 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.120 But there was a Kentucky man named James Farthing who 271 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.399 won one hundred and sixty seven point three million dollars 272 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:03.399 in the power ball jackpot that happened in I believe 273 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.759 late April. He ended up deciding to split the prize 274 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:10.840 with his mother, and not long after winning one hundred 275 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:14.639 and sixty seven point three million dollars, he found himself 276 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:17.519 in trouble with the loss. So this guy, he has 277 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:21.120 a criminal record and he was on parole from prior 278 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:24.559 convictions in Kentucky at the time. He's from Georgetown, Kentucky. 279 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.240 He's a Kentucky native. But shortly after winning the lottery. 280 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.879 I don't know if the trip that he took had 281 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.240 something to do with coming into a bunch of money 282 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.320 or maybe it was already planned, but regardless, just days 283 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.879 after winning the lottery, he was arrested at a Florida 284 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:42.639 resort and he was accused of punching another guest in 285 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.159 the face. He kicked a SHARE's deputy in the face 286 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:49.279 during the altercation, leading to a battery charge. So this 287 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:51.960 is someone who had just won one hundred and sixty 288 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:53.720 seven point three million dollars. 289 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:54.879 I don't know what. 290 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:57.639 I don't know his whole story, his life story by 291 00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:01.000 any means, but he had obviously been in trouble with 292 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.519 the law again, he was on parole, and then he 293 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:06.120 has you know, so clearly it's a life changing situation 294 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:07.720 for somebody to win one hundred and sixty seven point 295 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.080 three million dollars, but within days of becoming a millionaire, 296 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.000 he probably hadn't actually become a millionaire just yet. I'm 297 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.159 not sure how quickly you get your money, but nonetheless 298 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:17.240 money on the way, and then he gets himself in 299 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:20.679 legal trouble, facing a battery charge that could have put 300 00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:25.480 him right back in prison because he violated parole. I 301 00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:27.879 mean talk about I mean, bad luck is what a 302 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:30.519 lot of people would say. But think about just the 303 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:34.279 crazy and luck is certainly involved, I would say when 304 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:36.320 it comes to the lottery. But if you, you know, 305 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.559 you assault somebody and get arrested, that's not bad luck, 306 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.679 that's being a criminal, so you know it. But to 307 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:44.039 have such a day where you can't believe it's real, 308 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:47.519 followed by a few days later the exact same situation, 309 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.840 but for the entire an entire, entirely different reason and 310 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:53.519 it being you know, wow, I got myself in trouble 311 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:55.600 and now I could be going away for a long time. 312 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:59.559 So what he's decided to do, he chose to remain 313 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.759 in jail where he currently is in Florida, to serve 314 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:06.639 out his sentence rather than pursue a hearing. So what 315 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:08.320 he's done is he's waived his right to a hearing 316 00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.919 and he requested to complete that sentence with his release 317 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:16.000 expected in August of this year. So he'll he'll serve 318 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.320 out and then I don't really know what what what 319 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.120 will happen as far as the charge and a potential 320 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:25.600 parole violation. Again, he was on parole in Kentucky and 321 00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:28.240 the arrest took place in Florida at a resort. 322 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.200 But so why would you why would you have liked 323 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:31.840 to stay? 324 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:35.480 I don't know, unless he just wants to just get 325 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:37.600 done with the legal drama, because you could hire a 326 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:38.799 decent lawyer at this point. 327 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.559 Yeah, I would. Yeah, I don't know that. That's what 328 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.759 I don't understand. My guess would be, and it's just 329 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.240 a guess. I have no experience in the criminal justice system. 330 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.919 I've never I've never been charged with a crime, and 331 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.679 hopefully that never that never changes. But it's to me 332 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.879 there's got to be some strategic move on his part 333 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:57.279 to where by serving out and not fighting it may 334 00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.320 give him a better chance of getting mercy when it 335 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:01.879 comes to some type of parole violation. 336 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:05.720 Well, my question is, too, can the Lottery Commission award 337 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.799 winnings if you're a convicted criminal service. 338 00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:10.399 I would say so, Yeah, I still do it, I 339 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:12.360 would say so. I mean maybe I don't know that 340 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:14.279 for certain, but I would say that they probably can. 341 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:20.320 I'm fascinated by the aftermath of those who win the lottery, 342 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.519 and it's really sad. I mean, they made an entire show. 343 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:25.759 I think it might have been on I was. 344 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:26.320 Just gonna. 345 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:29.600 Lottery. What happened to Lottery Winners? 346 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:31.320 Yeah, like, I don't know what they called it, but yes, 347 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:34.200 that's basically what it was. And I'm pretty sure it's 348 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:37.200 specifically focused on those where they won the lottery and 349 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.519 it kind of ruined their life, it did, or they 350 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:42.080 ended up losing their life because of being associated with 351 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:45.000 somebody that tried to take advantage. I mean, I don't 352 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:47.519 play the lottery, therefore I will never win. My wife 353 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.440 she plays often, and she's she chooses to play when 354 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.840 it becomes impossible to win, because you know, that number 355 00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:57.440 gets bigger and bigger and bigger. But yeah, there would 356 00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.320 be some real I mean, look, if you tell me, 357 00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.000 is it better to or to not win the lottery, 358 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:04.679 it's better to win it. I would love to win 359 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.080 the lottery, but I'm sure there's things that come with 360 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:09.759 it that you really never know or even think about 361 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:10.960 until you're in that position. 362 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:13.120 This guy was an auto mechanic, and to your point, 363 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:14.960 one of these specials, he said people would show up 364 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.120 at his door in all hours of the night wanting 365 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:19.240 to fix their car, and he heard SOB story after 366 00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:21.399 SOB story. And I'm glad you mentioned that show because 367 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.480 I watched that too, and I'm like, I don't need 368 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:24.320 to buy a lottery. 369 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:24.720 Ticket this week. 370 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:28.000 It fascinated me because it just made it seem and again, 371 00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.639 there's so many people that win the lottery. Therefore, it's 372 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.440 not like every situation ends up like that, but there's 373 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:36.759 enough of the bad situations to where I believe they 374 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:39.799 made multiple seasons of a show that just documented how 375 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.440 winning the lottery doesn't always work out in the long 376 00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.080 run for a lot of people. So anyways, you could 377 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:46.720 make a movie out of this story. I really think 378 00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:49.000 you could. All right, we've got another update of trafficking 379 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:50.559 weather coming your way right here, right now on news 380 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:55.120 radio eight forty whas six forty six here a Kentucky 381 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.080 had his morning news with Nick Coffee on news Radio 382 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:01.080 eight forty whas. Something we justus earlier that you're going 383 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:03.960 to continue to hear more about is a potential change 384 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.720 to the start time for JCPS school's next school year. 385 00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.519 And I have two children. My youngest will start in 386 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:15.960 the Bully County Public School system this upcoming school year. 387 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:19.480 He'll be in kindergarten. And my daughter, she's been in 388 00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:22.160 the Bully County Public School system for a while now, 389 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:25.680 she'll be in third grade next year, which makes me 390 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:27.960 sad to say, but she's growing up. So I wasn't 391 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:32.839 aware of the current schedule as far as when they 392 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.839 start school because I just assume that in Jefferson County, 393 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:39.799 which again shows what I know that middle school all 394 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:42.640 started at this time, elementary all started at this time, 395 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:44.599 high school started at this time, and that's not the 396 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.680 case at all, So you have three different start times. 397 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.880 Seven thirty am to two ten pm is the early window, 398 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.559 and there are many elementary schools that start at that time. 399 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:00.200 There are a handful of middle schools that starts at 400 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.359 that time, and a handful of high schools. So that 401 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.400
