WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.120 All right, let's see if I remember how to do this. 2 00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:04.559 It is. It's five oh five here. 3 00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:06.679 At Kentucky and his Morning News Coffee and Company on 4 00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:09.599 News Radio eight forty whas. That's it, right, That's how 5 00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:12.800 we start the show each and every day. I'm happy back, brother, 6 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:13.839 I am happy to be back. 7 00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:14.960 Yeah, good to have you back. 8 00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.600 For those who've already forgot about me, my name's Nick Coffee, 9 00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:20.239 and I'm here with you and hopefully going to be 10 00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:22.160 here with you for a while every morning to get 11 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:24.480 things started. But yeah, nice to get a vacation, but 12 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:26.719 certainly nice to be back with the team. The voice 13 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:28.760 you heard there was the one and only Scott Fitzgerald, 14 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.199 the company man. I still call him that, John Allen. 15 00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.039 He's alongside of courses always. And then we've got John Shannon, 16 00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:35.880 which I haven't seen him yet, but I assume he's here. 17 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:37.920 Maybe he's got vacation I didn't know about here. 18 00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:38.679 Okay, good. 19 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.520 I would have extended said vacation if I wasn't going 20 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:43.119 to be able to reunite with the full team. But 21 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.320 we're here and we are ready to up. I mean 22 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:50.000 I realized during this vacation I was telling Scott about 23 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.759 this right before we turned these microphones on and started 24 00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.759 gapping that this was a real eye opener for me 25 00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.200 as far as just the difference in doing this type 26 00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:01.560 of radio show show compared to being on the sports 27 00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:06.239 side because a variety of reasons. But what I didn't 28 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.920 think about, but here I am realizing I really needed 29 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:10.920 and man, it was awesome to have a nice, a 30 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.799 nice week long vacation to just get away that you know, 31 00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.040 I didn't really not that I didn't miss you, guys. 32 00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:17.560 I did. I missed you badly, and I'm sure you 33 00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.400 missed me too. But it was like the first time 34 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:20.760 in a long time I went on a trip where 35 00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.439 I really never thought much about work. And I think 36 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:25.599 a lot of people I don't. I don't think it's 37 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.560 I don't think it's unusual for people to try. But 38 00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.040 still it'd be a hard thing to completely remove yourself 39 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.480 from work when you're on vacation, because you know when 40 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:36.719 you go back, you're thinking about what you're gonna be 41 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:37.159 walking into. 42 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.079 Absolutely, my wife used to check her emails religiously, and 43 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.079 that's one thing I'm good about, is the boundaries. 44 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.040 When I'm on vacation, bro, I'm not checking the emails. 45 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:45.560 I'm not. 46 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.359 I mean, I might dial in on the way home 47 00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:49.760 just so I don't get caught off guard. 48 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:50.799 But that's the way to do it. 49 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.120 Bing, Go give it a little, a little glance, right, 50 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.319 don't deep into it, don't because then you'll then you'll 51 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.640 really start getting that anxiety. Oh man, I'm walking back 52 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.319 into Like I told myself one I didn't i'd be 53 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.040 walking into any kind of mess mony means. But regardless, 54 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.239 ill when I get back to work, that's when I'll 55 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:06.920 that's when I'll deal with it. But my wife did 56 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.840 the same thing, Scott, I swear to you on on. 57 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.240 So we had we were there. 58 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.319 We got there Saturday of last weekend and then flew 59 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:18.159 back yesterday, so it was it was a long trip 60 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.000 for us. But by by Saturday we was our last 61 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:22.599 full day. But we had a full day, meaning we 62 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:24.719 would wake up the next morning and yesterday morning and 63 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:26.400 we go to the airport, so it was still a day. 64 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:28.360 If it wasn't like we had to start packing or 65 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.759 check out. We just knew that when we go to bed, 66 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.319 hey let's load up because we got. 67 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.240 Hit the airport in the morning. Well, we're at the pool. 68 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.199 It's like eleven am and she she she pulls open 69 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:38.039 the email, and I'm like. 70 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.560 Why would you do that exactly? 71 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.719 And I get it, but I'm like, yeah, you had 72 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:48.120 to know that was going to completely changed her vibe 73 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.680 of our last day until I until I snapped her 74 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:52.199 out of it because I'm thinking, what are you doing? 75 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.439 Yep, you get back and you start prioritizing your returns 76 00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:57.599 and who you're going to email back there at least 77 00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:58.199 that's what I do. 78 00:02:58.280 --> 00:02:59.639 And then I get back and I look, okay, this 79 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.159 is hot. We got to address this now. 80 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.199 Let's put this down here, let's move this here, and ultimately, 81 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.159 by about Wednesday or Thursday, stuff starts to equal out. 82 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.120 I've done this dance enough times, and I used to 83 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:09.759 be like your wife. 84 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.879 I used to check religiously, especially here, and then I 85 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.960 realized the world survives without me for a few days 86 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:17.840 and when you prioritize it on your way back. So 87 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:19.520 I'm glad you were able to get away and just 88 00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.520 really disconnect, because it will bog you down if you 89 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.240 don't get that chance to breathe. And you text me 90 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.400 a picture of your beautiful daughter and yourself repping that 91 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.879 Piston's jersey appreciate that, bro, what a beautiful moment that is. 92 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:32.159 Man. 93 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.800 And just in fact, I just sent my wife a picture. 94 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:36.960 It popped up in my memories and my son and 95 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.560 I at a Reds game about eight years ago, and 96 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.960 I was blown away that how long ago eight years feels. 97 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.000 We probably still look like a little kid then, right. 98 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.199 Ringo, And when you get to this point. 99 00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:49.879 And so I thought of you when I saw that picture, 100 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.400 because I thought of you with your daughter, and I'm like, dude, 101 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.400 it's so awesome that you get to just die. And 102 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:55.879 that's what we did. We went to a Reds game 103 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:57.960 and I totally dialed out. We spent the weekend in 104 00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:59.439 Cincinnati and I never looked at em. 105 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:01.919 And it's it's nice to reflect back on that and 106 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.639 realize in the moment you were in the moment, right absolutely. 107 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.520 I tell you what the this is something I know. 108 00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.759 Vacation is usually done in the summer, especially if you've 109 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:12.439 got kids in the school system and whatnot. You can 110 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.080 still go on trips anytime you want, any time of 111 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.199 the year. So I would wreckon if you have a 112 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.680 family where you just get kind of lost in the 113 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:21.920 cycle right of every day. I mean, it's just it's 114 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.920 such it's busy, routine work, whatever schedule your kids have, 115 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.040 Like you just you start to just get in the 116 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.040 rhythm and routine and you don't kind of stop in. 117 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:31.560 I needed my time. 118 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:32.920 I don't know if they needed it, and I'm sure 119 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.160 maybe they're enjoying the break that they got when Dad 120 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.240 left the house this morning at three forty five am. 121 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:41.680 But I needed that time with my family. So such 122 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.480 a consistent thing for first I mean, no real breaks 123 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.720 from each other. And you know, I think there's times 124 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.040 where I'm like, I don't know, man, maybe I'll need 125 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.519 a break here and there. But I didn't get it, 126 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:52.279 and it was great. We just we spent a lot 127 00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.279 of good time together and I know I needed it. 128 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:55.480 I don't know if they did, and I'm not sure 129 00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.639 if they feel the same way, but uh yeah, always 130 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.560 nice to get a vacation. I'd recommend just get away, 131 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.480 get disconnected, and spend time with each other. You may 132 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.560 want to rip each other's hair out here and there, 133 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:08.439 but you'll you'll you'll fight through that and it'll be 134 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:09.439 a good experience for you. 135 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.839 I good for you, brother. Sounds like a great trip. 136 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.600 I'm happy to be back for sure. All right, we've 137 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.480 got to check at traffic in weather coming your way. 138 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.000 We'll also get a sports update from Scott coming up 139 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.360 here in about fifteen minutes or so, and then we'll 140 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.920 have John Shannon with the latest newscast around five thirty. Look, 141 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:26.720 I remember the form out of the show. Look at 142 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.759 that not showing too much rust. Maybe I'll regret saying that, 143 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.079 but anyhow, we got a lot to get to. What 144 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:33.519 I want to get to on the other side is 145 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.240 how about some props. I think it's I think we 146 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.079 need to throw some props at JCPS for what was 147 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.360 seemingly a smooth return to school. He'll go anywhere, stick 148 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:44.439 with us. Right here, it is Coffee and Company, Kentucky 149 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.600 in his morning news here on news radio. Wait forty whas. 150 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:49.800 That's right. It is Monday. 151 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.199 It is the first Monday of the school year for 152 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.560 students at JCPS. They went back to school on Thursday, 153 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:01.040 and I was so caught up in vacation, which I'm 154 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.959 glad it was that way that I wasn't sitting around thinking, hmm, 155 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:07.360 I wonder how things went for JCPS. And really, John, 156 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.800 I wish I would have done this long long ago. 157 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:14.079 But you you've you're an old soul because you don't 158 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.079 spend near as much time connected to your device scrolling 159 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.319 on social media platforms like I do, and I now 160 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:21.720 don't do that quite as much. I didn't do it 161 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:23.639 as much on vacation and I just and I just 162 00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.000 realized it because I didn't see anything about JCPS as 163 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.160 far as how things went. And it was to two reasons, 164 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.399 I think, one because I wasn't as plugged in my 165 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.639 phone as I as I usually am, but also there 166 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.079 wasn't any national story to share about JCPS going back 167 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.279 to school and it being a nightmare. And that's good. 168 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.319 I mean, it's good. For the first time in years, 169 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.160 it seems like they they had a really smooth, nearly 170 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.360 flawless opening day comparatively speaking. I mean, that's that's that's 171 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.040 what you want now again kind of sounds weird, like, wow, 172 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.920 the school system got kids to school way to go, 173 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.160 Like it's given credit for something that should just be 174 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.439 the bottom line expectation. But let's be real that has 175 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.040 been an issue for them with a lot of factors 176 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:11.560 at play, resources being one of them, and also just 177 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:14.759 relying on things that did not work the way you intended. 178 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:16.279 Them to work. But yeah, it. 179 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:20.199 Sounds like things were smooth, and I mean I think 180 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:22.759 you even had comments from folks that are on the 181 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:26.079 board claiming that this is this is the best open 182 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.480 the smoothest opening day they've had in years, and that's 183 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.399 you know, many years. It's far it's hard to know 184 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:33.759 exactly how to rank them as far as each year, 185 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.199 how smooth was your return to school? But when you 186 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:41.360 got a new superintendent for a school system like JCPS, 187 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.639 that is that is clearly going to mean. That's one 188 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.480 thing I'll say in this still new role to me, 189 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:51.240 being more so news talk than sports talk, is JCPS 190 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.680 is going to always be, you know, a talking point 191 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:56.639 to an extent. Hopefully it's for good reason, and we 192 00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:01.000 should probably not just have them in new cycle whenever 193 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.160 you've got, you know, a story like the nightmare they 194 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:04.800 had a few years ago with getting back to school 195 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:06.920 and the buses and all that, because clearly people that 196 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.399 work for JCPS they want they want things to go 197 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.959 well right And I still think we get a real 198 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:14.120 problem on our hands if something doesn't change as far 199 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:17.480 as young people wanting to get into that field. That's 200 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.439 a scary thing. For being honest, so anyways, JCPI is 201 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.279 obviously you know, our tax dollars support them, and there've 202 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.480 been a lot of things that have been easy to 203 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.120 criticize over the years. So when they have a smooth 204 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:32.639 return to school with a new superintendent in that leadership role, 205 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.480 I think it's I think it's a good thing. So 206 00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:36.919 it's just about six pm, only thirteen buses were still 207 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:40.399 running with forty seven students total. About six twenty three. 208 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:43.799 Just one bus remained on the road. And look, I 209 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.480 know that that to me, that sounds really late to 210 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.799 get home from school. But one I would imagine that 211 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.759 as they get back into routine rhythm, that'll that time 212 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:56.840 will change to where they'll be getting home a lot earlier. 213 00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:59.399 And one of the things I didn't realize just because 214 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:01.919 I when I was in school myself many many years ago, 215 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.080 I went to a very smaller, much smaller school system 216 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.039 Bowie County Public schools nowhere near the size of JCPS, 217 00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.480 to where if you went to middle school, you started 218 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:11.960 this time, you went to high school, you started this time. 219 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:12.440 Well they've got it. 220 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.159 They've got a stagger start times because of just how 221 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:19.120 they have to coordinate the bus schedule. So anyhow, job 222 00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:22.440 well done. Hopefully their first Monday back at school is 223 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:24.440 is going to be It's going to be a smooth one. 224 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.320 Both my kids for the first time are going to 225 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.360 be uh in school together. Tomorrow they start. My son's 226 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:36.960 start in kindergarten. He's so excited, which I'm happy. That's 227 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.679 better than him being scared, but I'm also I'm also 228 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.879 sad that he's now getting that old. My daughter she'll 229 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.879 be starting fourth grade. She's super excited. And then, of course, 230 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:46.559 how many years is this going to be for your 231 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:47.840 lovely wife as a teacher? 232 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:49.159 Just this year seven? 233 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:50.720 When she told me that the other day, I was like, 234 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.240 my gosh, you've been teaching for that long already. 235 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.159 That's that is crazy to think about. And she clearly 236 00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:58.480 loves what she does. I'm sure there's days where nobody 237 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.279 wants to get up and go to work because that's life. 238 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.039 But she's somebody we need more of, right, somebody that 239 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.000 enjoys what they do, because man, it's important, and telling 240 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.399 you it is. It is not an attractive line of 241 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.759 work to get into for a lot of reasons. And 242 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.879 that's again that's concerning all right, We've got another check 243 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:16.720 of traffic and weather coming you right, Bobby, Let's will 244 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.360 tell us how the roadways are looking. We'll get an 245 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:21.519 updated forecast from at Melosavich of WLKY, and then Scott'll 246 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:23.600 be back in for an update on sports right here 247 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:29.279 on news Radio eight forty. Whas. How about that he's back, 248 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.960 He's ten. He's the man on my flat home yesterday, 249 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:34.879 John Shannon, I thought of you. I thought, I wonder 250 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.240 what he's going to have up his sleeve for me to, 251 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.519 you know, bring us out of his electric newscast back 252 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.279 into the show. 253 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:44.039 Well done. 254 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.360 I had a nice long drive to come up with 255 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.399 that one yesterday, and I thought I had to come 256 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:49.720 up with something good for you to come back. 257 00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:50.799 It was time at the beach. 258 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:51.679 It was perfect. 259 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:53.679 It was perfect, and I'm certainly happy to be back here. 260 00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:55.960 It is Kentucky and it's morning news, coffee and company 261 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.399 with you, five thirty five here on a Monday morning. 262 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:02.159 And I didn't mentioned this yet within the show here. 263 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:03.480 We've got a long way to go, but it is 264 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.720 a big, big story from the weekend. And it was 265 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.480 a story that even though I was not as plugged 266 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:11.600 in as I usually am, because you know, I was 267 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:16.120 on vacation. It became a story that got some legitimate 268 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.919 national coverage and that was what you heard John discussing 269 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.600 there in his newscast where you had a home invasion, 270 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.159 bank robbery and then a man hunt that of course 271 00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:29.200 ended up with a woman stabbed her and her daughter, 272 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.799 her two children. Actually we're kidnapped him and just just 273 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:37.480 an awful situation all the way around. Nobody would disagree. 274 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.759 But here is what the ultimate takeaway is, this was 275 00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:46.799 very avoidable. So the suspect, thirty two year old Armand Langford, 276 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.480 again he broke into a woman's home, abducted her and 277 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.399 her two kids, then forced her to drive to the 278 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:55.480 PNC bank next to Oxmoor Center and then again armed 279 00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:58.480 with a large knife. He allegedly told he held into 280 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.679 the woman's throat and told the tellers killer unless they 281 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.759 gave him twenty thousand dollars. So again, just a horrific 282 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.919 situation all the way around, but again this was avoidable. 283 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:13.840 This individual, he's now facing robbery, kidnapping charges, assault charges. 284 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:18.679 But this is somebody who has has been pretty consistent. 285 00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:21.600 I mean, this person was sentenced to fourteen years in 286 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:25.759 prison for nearly a dozen robberies uh and and but 287 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.840 was released months into his his sentence with shock probation. 288 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.360 And I mean, I've said this before just in conversation, 289 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.879 not necessarily in this setting, because it hasn't really come up, 290 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.039 although it's certainly not been a rare thing where we 291 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.120 don't believe people when they tell us who they are. 292 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:48.080 They show us who they are consistently, and we should 293 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.720 believe them. We should, We should, you know, we should 294 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.440 trust that they're they're showing us, they're telling us who 295 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:57.519 they are, because how many, I mean, I don't ask. 296 00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:59.840 I mean, I'm sure there's there's there's a there's research 297 00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:01.840 that can be done, and maybe maybe I should do it, 298 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.000 but maybe maybe I shouldn't because then it would just 299 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:08.919 remind me of how scary it actually is where people 300 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:12.559 who have committed violent crimes, not once, but sometimes twice, 301 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:16.960 maybe even more times, somehow end up not serving nearly 302 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:19.879 enough time, and then they get out and they do 303 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:23.320 what's predictable, they were able to, you know, get off 304 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.480 without much of I guess a punishment in their eyes, right, 305 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.720 I mean, if you're going to prison for fourteen years, 306 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.440 you get out, you know, without even doing ten percent 307 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:36.639 fifteen percent of your sentence, whatever it was, you probably 308 00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:37.360 feel like you won. 309 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:39.639 You probably feel like you're untouchable. 310 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:42.320 Man, I've committed all these crimes been I'm a violent 311 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:44.159 criminal and I'm already out here on the streets again. 312 00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:46.399 I'll just keep doing that, right, and I've got to 313 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.919 go back to you know, the prison for a few hours. 314 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:49.440 It's worth it. 315 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:51.480 I mean, this was. 316 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:58.480 Avoidable, absolutely avoidable. And why these people are let out again, 317 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.799 I know there's you know that. I'm sure those who 318 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:06.240 make this decision will always mean him make you. The judge, 319 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.399 by the way, who made this decision is Judge Jessica Green, 320 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:11.840 and obviously her name's been talked about quite a bit 321 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:12.759 in the last few months and. 322 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:13.399 The last few days. 323 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:15.320 I should say, just because when you hear of what 324 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.679 wit a second, who made the decision to let this 325 00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:22.120 guy out of prison, who has again shown quite consistently 326 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.120 throughout his entire life that he is a violent criminal. 327 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:31.559 I mean, like somebody should be held responsible for this happening, 328 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:36.279 because again, it was so clearly avoidable, and it's just 329 00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:40.879 it's awful, I mean, and I can't begin to know 330 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.960 what kind of trauma comes with this as a family, 331 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:47.200 meaning not just the mother her two children, but also 332 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.840 the husband who's been pretty outspoken about just you know, 333 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.240 this whole situation. So again there's layers to just dealing 334 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:55.840 with this. But I think and I never certainly don't 335 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:59.799 want to know, but I would just be fuming with rage. No, 336 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.240 this person didn't need to be let out. And now 337 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:08.600 they've now they've you know, probably unfortunately given these people 338 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:12.600 a life changing experience in a negative way. It's it 339 00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.799 was absolutely avoidable. And that's just what is what is 340 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:22.120 so crazy and this is almost something you can't make up. 341 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:25.879 So apparently this individual he played briefly or he was 342 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:29.960 at least on the roster as a college football player 343 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:32.919 at Lindsay Wilson, Wilson College and NAI School out I 344 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:36.120 believe in a Dare County, Columbia, Kentucky, and you can 345 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.720 still pull up his his bio on his on his 346 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:42.960 on his I guess his profile page on their roster 347 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.840 and when asked about like why he loves football, it 348 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.879 says that because he can hurt people, and it's he 349 00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:51.000 doesn't get in trouble for it. 350 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.600 I mean, like this is this guy's been pretty consistent. 351 00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:57.759 He's a violent criminal and he liked football because he 352 00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.320 could hurt people, and you know he wouldn't bears with 353 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:00.679 a crime. 354 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:02.960 Just insane. 355 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:05.720 All right, let's get to another update of traffick of 356 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.759 weather right here at Kentucky, and it's Morning News Coffee 357 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:10.240 and company with you on News Radio eight forty whas 358 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:14.600 Good Monday morning, Kentucky, Ina.

Rory, I'm fresh off vacation. 362 00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:28.159 I have a decent tan, and I really didn't have 363 00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:32.159 any issues with getting sunburned in Florida. But I did 364 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.320 not use much sunscreen. I had a decent I guess 365 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:36.480 base ten as I started. 366 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.360 But I should I be worried because it wasn't really 367 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:39.120 any plan for me. 368 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:41.320 In fact, I'm surprised I didn't have a day where 369 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:43.159 I'm like, oh, yeah, you probably should have put some 370 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.559 sunblock on. But the anti sunscreen movement is apparently a 371 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:47.200 real thing here. 372 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:49.200 It is now. 373 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:53.320 Remember you're talking to Rory O'Neill. I need sunscreen to 374 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:54.879 go to the mailbox, Okay. 375 00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:55.600 Like it's that bad. 376 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:58.240 I can imagine. I can imagine as. 377 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:02.240 Someone in Florida, So yeah, it can be bad. But yeah, 378 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:03.720 there is this growing movement. 379 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:05.839 A lot of it has to do with online communities 380 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.480 who are anti sunscreen, specifically over some of its ingredients 381 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:13.319 they say may do more harm than good long term. 382 00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:16.240 They like the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Junior to 383 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.720 head up Health in Human Services and the Maham movement 384 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.160 into the idea of taking a fresh look at some 385 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.599 of these ingredients and again as to whether or not 386 00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:28.200 they could be harmful long term. Now, dermatologists will say, look, 387 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:31.000 we've been using this stuff since the sixties and seventies. 388 00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.480 If it caused a problem, we would have known by now. 389 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.839 And in fact they still maintain it is much safer 390 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.240 to use sunscreen that could protect you from cancers like melanoma, 391 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.240 that the benefits far away any potential threat, and they 392 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:46.880 don't see any threat on the horizon. 393 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:47.680 Yeah. 394 00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:50.599 I wondered when I was on vacation last week, just 395 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:53.480 if you are somebody that if you're outdoors quite a 396 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:55.160 bit and you live in an area where the sun 397 00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:59.240 can be real damaging, I guess it's not just because 398 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:01.359 it's maybe comfort when it comes to the people who 399 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:03.240 will wear long sleeves, and it looks very odd to 400 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:05.240 someone like myself. I'm thinking, my goodness, you've got to 401 00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:07.200
