1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Good Morning, Happy hump Day, Welcome in. It is Kentucky

2
00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:05.040
<v Speaker 1>and his Morning News with Nick Coffee on News Radio

3
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>eight forty whas I expected, had no clue really what

4
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>was going to happen, but I did expect the jury

5
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:16.280
<v Speaker 1>to find Brooks Howck and Joseph laws and guilty, which

6
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>they did yesterday. What I didn't really know what to

7
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>expect was and I didn't really give it much thought,

8
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>but the reaction from the community of Barchtown yesterday, as

9
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 1>you could tell that community was happy to see Crystal

10
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.799
<v Speaker 1>Rodgers family get justice and to get some closure in

11
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>that situation. But really it's one one big step. It's

12
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>a big step, and maybe this one big step leads

13
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to other steps taken to hold others accountable for the

14
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>notable homicides that have taken place in Barchtown. But if

15
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.799
<v Speaker 1>you are somebody from Barchtown, I'm sure you're proud to

16
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.399
<v Speaker 1>be from there, and clearly what went on with Crystal

17
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Rogers and Officer ellis Crystal Rogers father Tommy.

18
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't represent the community. That doesn't mean that you know.

19
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>But I think if you care about where you're from,

20
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>which most people I would say, do you don't like

21
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the idea of people thinking of your town and in

22
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>those being the things that come to mind. You know,

23
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>for example, here in Louisville, love Louisville born and raised,

24
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>don't plan on living anywhere else. There's a lot to

25
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:23.879
<v Speaker 1>love about this place. But for a while, and I

26
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.239
<v Speaker 1>think we're slowly making progress. When people outside of Louisville

27
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>think of Louisville, they think of not so great things

28
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>like the Breonna Taylor situation, and unfortunately many other not

29
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:39.519
<v Speaker 1>so great stories about our city, some more lighthearted than others.

30
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, this may sound silly, but the arrest

31
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>of can't think of the golfer's name while am I

32
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>blanking on his name? The golfer who got arrested here

33
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>in Louisville. Scheffler, Yeah, Scotti Scheffler. What a brain fart

34
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>on my end. So again, like that doesn't represent the

35
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>entire city of Louisville, or even the entire LMPD.

36
00:01:59.159 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>But you know, you'd.

37
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 1>Prefer to have stories about your city, your town be

38
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>positive and not necessarily negative. So again, I don't want

39
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>to indicate that this proves that the people of Bargetown

40
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:16.360
<v Speaker 1>are good people, but I imagine they probably are hoping that

41
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.919
<v Speaker 1>there's resolution with the rest of these murders and that

42
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>slowly but surely, yes, people will always remember that this happened,

43
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>but it won't be one of the first things that

44
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.319
<v Speaker 1>come to mind. I mean, Bargetown in twenty twelve was

45
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.919
<v Speaker 1>named by the USA today is the most beautiful small

46
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 1>town in America. And it is beautiful. I mean, it

47
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 1>is vibrant in the Bourbon community, some states, the Bourbon

48
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>capital the world. You've got Mold Kentucky home. Their downtown

49
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 1>area is beautiful, something out of a movie. Kind of

50
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>takes you back in time. So again, I had no

51
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>real expectation as far as what the people of Bargtown

52
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>were expecting and what they would do, but you could

53
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 1>tell yesterday was a big day for that community and

54
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>certainly a good day all so real quick the case itself,

55
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean mean, when you when you consider the fact

56
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>that this was mostly just I mean, this was largely circumstantial.

57
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Now you did have consistent and damning evidence that was circumstantial,

58
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>but again there and you also had a test the

59
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>testimony of the co conspirator here, Lawson, that was that

60
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>was huge, and that was something that we knew was

61
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 1>going to be instrumental and then being able to bring

62
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>the charges and of course take this thing to trial

63
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and get the get the verdict that they want. But

64
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>if you go back and look at some data of

65
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>other cases that are that are similar when it comes

66
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>to just what type of evidence you had, I mean,

67
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 1>it's not uncommon to see somebody end up being found

68
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>not guilty. I mean this is a while back, but

69
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 1>Casey Anthony, you remember that trial. She was accused of

70
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.879
<v Speaker 1>murdering her two year old daughter and prosecution post the

71
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 1>prosecution focused mostly just on her behavior after her daughter's disappearance,

72
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 1>including lying to the police partying. I think she ended

73
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>up getting like tattoos and stuff the night that her

74
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>daughter was I guess supposedly killed, and her daughter went

75
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.439
<v Speaker 1>missing for thirty one days before it was reported. Yet

76
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.879
<v Speaker 1>there was no cause of death determine from the remains

77
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 1>and no DNA evidence.

78
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:17.759
<v Speaker 2>That tied her to the murders.

79
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>So despite all of that heavy circumstantial evidence, they found

80
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 1>her not guilty. So I guess I think most of us,

81
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and I can't speak for anybody but by myself, but

82
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>it just felt as if the expectation here was that

83
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the jury was going to find Brooks how Can his

84
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:36.199
<v Speaker 1>accomplice lost and guilty, and they did. But it is

85
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.439
<v Speaker 1>interesting for me to just see that this is not

86
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it never felt like an open and shut

87
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 1>case because again the defense did their job of reiterating

88
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>as many times as possible. There's no physical evidence, this

89
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:48.439
<v Speaker 1>is all circumstantial.

90
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.160
<v Speaker 2>This is all you know. I'm not saying this is true.

91
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.360
<v Speaker 1>But they alleged that they became guilty in as far

92
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>as the court of public opinion because of the coverage

93
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 1>of this trial, and the cops may be out to

94
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.079
<v Speaker 1>get it, which is really laughable if you think about it.

95
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.399
<v Speaker 1>But a guilty verdict yesterday, and it didn't take long

96
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>for them to get there, and it also didn't take

97
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.839
<v Speaker 1>long for them to recommend a life sentence for Brooks Howck.

98
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.040
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk about this a little.

99
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Bit more come up later on, because as far as

100
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>what happens next, I think a charge is potentially coming

101
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 1>or an indictment coming for Rosemary Howck and Nick how Gott.

102
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 1>That wouldn't shock me at all, and we'll get to

103
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 1>that a little bit later on. Also, what I want

104
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:28.279
<v Speaker 1>to get to coming up on the other side after

105
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 1>we get an update on traffic and weather. The new

106
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>JCPS superintendent what a thankless job. And I am rooting

107
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:41.279
<v Speaker 1>for this gentleman to succeed. And we'll tell you what

108
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>he had to say here recently as he visited his

109
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>first JCPS school earlier this week. All right, an update

110
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.439
<v Speaker 1>on traving weather coming your way right here right now

111
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:52.959
<v Speaker 1>on news radio eight forty whas can a new leader

112
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:57.519
<v Speaker 1>turn the page for JCPS after many years of I

113
00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 1>guess what we'll call transportation turmoil.

114
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:01.839
<v Speaker 2>It's seven to seventeen here a Kentucky.

115
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>It's morning news on news radio eight forty whas nit

116
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:08.399
<v Speaker 1>coffee with you. And the new JCPS superintendent is doctor

117
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 1>Brian Yearwood. And he stepped in and was hired recently

118
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>as Marty Polio is on his way out. And I

119
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:21.319
<v Speaker 1>think it was Yearwood, Yeah, Yearwood and others and they

120
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 1>visited one of the schools earlier this week in JCPS.

121
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure which elementary school it was, but talk

122
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 1>to the media afterward, and as you could expect, there

123
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.959
<v Speaker 1>was some talk about transportation and it sounds as if

124
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:39.439
<v Speaker 1>doctor Yearwood is laser focused on transportation. And again, if

125
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.160
<v Speaker 1>you know the history and even if it's not, even

126
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>if you didn't have the fiasco that you've had really

127
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.160
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years ago being the big one, and

128
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.319
<v Speaker 1>it's never been a smooth situation seemingly as far as

129
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>getting kids to school and the bus situation and all that,

130
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:56.600
<v Speaker 1>So makes total sense to emphasizes that being something you're

131
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 1>very focused on. But he met with the district's team

132
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.240
<v Speaker 1>to ensure that six hundred plus bus drivers are going

133
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.720
<v Speaker 1>to be ready for the first day of school, which

134
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 1>will be on August the seventh. So it's a promising

135
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>sign that right out of the gate, this guy is

136
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 1>at least well aware of what needs to be the focus.

137
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.399
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like this is one of those things

138
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>where if you mess this up and it may not

139
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.199
<v Speaker 1>even be your direct fault, right it's just gonna be

140
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>hard to come back from because right now it just

141
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.199
<v Speaker 1>feels like there's and it's not fair because there's so

142
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.879
<v Speaker 1>many people at JCPS that do a great job that

143
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.279
<v Speaker 1>have nothing to do with issues that the school system

144
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:37.199
<v Speaker 1>has had. And honestly, I mean, even if there is

145
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>legitimate blame to go towards whoever not only maybe an individual,

146
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.879
<v Speaker 1>but maybe multiple people responsible for some of the issues.

147
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't think anybody's out here trying to

148
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.399
<v Speaker 1>have these situations take place. Now again, you've got to

149
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:55.759
<v Speaker 1>be held accountable. So I'm rooting for doctor Brian Yearwood

150
00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:01.519
<v Speaker 1>to although it seems almost possible to envision but a

151
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.439
<v Speaker 1>really smooth first day where not that you have a

152
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:06.040
<v Speaker 1>perfect day where there's no issue at all, but a

153
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.600
<v Speaker 1>smooth day all around when it comes to just getting

154
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>kids to school. I mean, this is the biggest school

155
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:14.199
<v Speaker 1>system in our state, and man, I really feel like

156
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.480
<v Speaker 1>this is a thankless job, just because no matter what

157
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.160
<v Speaker 1>you do, you're facing criticism. And I mean, Marty poyl

158
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 1>can tell you firsthand what comes with this job. But

159
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, let's just be honest. When it comes to

160
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.720
<v Speaker 1>getting kids to school, that's like the first step, right

161
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 1>and having a successful school system getting them there, and

162
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 1>that of course became a national story here in Louisville

163
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.639
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years ago, and I doubt we'll see

164
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.799
<v Speaker 1>something quite like that ever again, to be honest with you,

165
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:49.159
<v Speaker 1>but I just I can see it if it ends

166
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:52.320
<v Speaker 1>up being a day where even objective folks look back

167
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and say, yeah, they messed that up.

168
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:55.720
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't perfect.

169
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:57.720
<v Speaker 1>We weren't asking for perfection, but man, they could have

170
00:08:57.720 --> 00:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>done a lot better. I think people are going to

171
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:03.000
<v Speaker 1>be done with this guy, which is unfair. So I'm

172
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 1>rooting for him. I hope it works out. We'll talk

173
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:08.840
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more about this later on because there's

174
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.639
<v Speaker 1>a new software they're utilizing. And if i'm if I'm

175
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.399
<v Speaker 1>doctor Yearwood, I'm not going to be joining the IT

176
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>tech team or anything like that, but I would know

177
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.559
<v Speaker 1>how important it is to get this as smooth as possible.

178
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.000
<v Speaker 1>That I would I would know how to use the

179
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.320
<v Speaker 1>software myself, front and back. But right now, if you

180
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>want to help out, meaning you you do your part

181
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 1>as a parent making sure you have all the information

182
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 1>that you have, you can go to jcpsfirst day dot com.

183
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.480
<v Speaker 1>They've got a bus teller within that system at JCPS

185
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>bus stop.

<v Speaker 2>So meet him halfway, help him get.

187
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Off to a good start here, because again, it's a

188
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>thankless job, and I don't envy him. All right, We've

<v Speaker 1>stick around right here on news Radio eight forty Whas

192
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:01.759
<v Speaker 1>It is in thirty five year Kentucky and it's morning

193
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.159
<v Speaker 1>news on news Radio eight forty whas nit Coffee with you.

194
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for hanging out with us, Take us with you

195
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>wherever you go. Listen live on the iHeartRadio app. Also

196
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>listen live at whas dot com. So a new report

197
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.320
<v Speaker 1>shows that twenty seven percent of Americans have a side hustle.

198
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.200
<v Speaker 1>And maybe you don't know what a side hustle is,

199
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming you do, but a way in which you

200
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.320
<v Speaker 1>can do a job on the side that is not

201
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.559
<v Speaker 1>your everyday gig where you make a living, but you

202
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:29.960
<v Speaker 1>can just make some extra money. And with the economy

203
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:31.679
<v Speaker 1>being what it is, I feel like that's never been

204
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>more needed than it is right now. But that twenty

205
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.919
<v Speaker 1>seven percent is actually lower than what it used to be,

206
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:42.039
<v Speaker 1>despite seemingly they're being more of a need for side hustles,

207
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.200
<v Speaker 1>just for people to live a little bit more comfortably.

208
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>So current side hustles that are becoming really really popular

209
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:53.159
<v Speaker 1>as far as just as that, and I'm sure this

210
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.440
<v Speaker 1>change is often but mobile car washing services. So if

211
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:59.919
<v Speaker 1>you've got like your own side hustle of being an

212
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 1>auto detailer, you can at the time as of now,

213
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.159
<v Speaker 1>you can make some money. There's low startup costs and

214
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 1>high convenience when it comes to just people would rather

215
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.399
<v Speaker 1>do that than maybe go through And I mean, I

216
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:15.720
<v Speaker 1>feel like if you were good at what you do,

217
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.080
<v Speaker 1>you will always find work because people want their car

218
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:20.639
<v Speaker 1>taking care of. And if you can do it for

219
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>less than maybe a company that does it as a corporation,

220
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:25.919
<v Speaker 1>and it's just a side hustle for you to make

221
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of money, then I get it. This

222
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>is something that I was not aware of. But selling

223
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:35.320
<v Speaker 1>stock photos so you can take photos that you own

224
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and instead of paying professional photographers to go make stock

225
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.960
<v Speaker 1>photos for these companies that need photos for content, I'm

226
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:43.840
<v Speaker 1>sure if somebody's just doing that as a side hustle.

227
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:47.159
<v Speaker 1>And the phones we have in our pocket, the camera

228
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.240
<v Speaker 1>on them is amazing. So that's one I wouldn't have

229
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.039
<v Speaker 1>thought of, but makes total sense. Crypto trading is one

230
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.279
<v Speaker 1>of the popular side hustles right now in America. And

231
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.679
<v Speaker 1>then pet sitting that surprises me a little bit, but

232
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I think people will always want their pets to be

233
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>taken care of, and now people are earning money to

234
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 1>go watch your pet for a while, and then the

235
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:12.200
<v Speaker 1>other is freelancing food and grocery delivery. So I guess

236
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 1>you can pay somebody less than what you would pay

237
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Kroger or Walmart when they bring when they bring your groceries. Now,

238
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:22.080
<v Speaker 1>one of the reasons may be why you're seeing the

239
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.679
<v Speaker 1>percentage dropping as far as those that do have a

240
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:26.720
<v Speaker 1>side hustle that brings them money that helps them live

241
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.039
<v Speaker 1>more comfortably, is because it's become harder to monetize certain things.

242
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Like I never did this because I never believed you

243
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:36.759
<v Speaker 1>could make money, but apparently you could taking online surveys.

244
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think you'd have to. To me, it

245
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.840
<v Speaker 1>always just seem like a scam, Like nobody they're really

246
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:43.679
<v Speaker 1>going to pay you to take a survey, And I

247
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:45.200
<v Speaker 1>guess they would, but you'd have to do a lot

248
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:47.039
<v Speaker 1>of them for it to be kind of worth your while.

249
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:49.679
<v Speaker 1>But this is what used to be. I mean, this

250
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 1>was my side hustle that really was just something I

251
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:54.200
<v Speaker 1>love doing, and then I ended up I could make

252
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a little money doing and then it turned into me

253
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of launching that into the career that I have now.

254
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.240
<v Speaker 1>But blogging for ad revenue, I mean that became a

255
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:04.039
<v Speaker 1>real challenge. That was ten years ago whenever I stopped

256
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>sort of prioritizing that. But she used to be able

257
00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:08.240
<v Speaker 1>to if you had good traffic, you could make legitimate money.

258
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:12.639
<v Speaker 1>And now it's just nowadays when it comes to digital dollars,

259
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:14.440
<v Speaker 1>there's just not as much there.

260
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.679
<v Speaker 2>And then this is one that I was not aware of,

261
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:19.120
<v Speaker 2>but it makes sense. Uber and lyft.

262
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:22.320
<v Speaker 1>It's still a thing, but in a lot of regions

263
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.080
<v Speaker 1>it's no longer viewed as really worth doing if in

264
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:29.960
<v Speaker 1>fact you were doing it for extra income and it

265
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.879
<v Speaker 1>taking up a little bit of your time. So right

266
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:37.399
<v Speaker 1>now there's a this is a this is a report

267
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.960
<v Speaker 1>from Killerstartups dot com that drivers have recently reported that

268
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:46.399
<v Speaker 1>after gas, maintenance and taxes, their hourly rate dropped to

269
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.679
<v Speaker 1>about fourteen dollars an hour all things considered, which barely

270
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:52.200
<v Speaker 1>covered the costs.

271
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:53.679
<v Speaker 2>So I'm sure.

272
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:55.960
<v Speaker 1>There are drivers that have done in a long time,

273
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:57.960
<v Speaker 1>certainly in areas where it's in high demand, and it

274
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:00.720
<v Speaker 1>can be not only a good living, not only a cito,

275
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:02.399
<v Speaker 1>so it can maybe be a good living, but I

276
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>feel like it certainly has become harder to do it

277
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.200
<v Speaker 1>in certain areas, Like I would love to know if

278
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.279
<v Speaker 1>you are an uber driver or a lift driver and

279
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.759
<v Speaker 1>it has not only become a side hustle, but something

280
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:15.279
<v Speaker 1>that you did at one point maybe that made you

281
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:17.000
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of money to where you felt like

282
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.639
<v Speaker 1>this is worth doing. How much has that changed with

283
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.799
<v Speaker 1>gas prices? Although they're down now as we speak, they've

284
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.120
<v Speaker 1>they've gotten lower and seemed to be training in the

285
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:28.039
<v Speaker 1>right direction, but that hadn't always been the case. And really, again,

286
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the cost of everything is expensive. John, you used to

287
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:33.639
<v Speaker 1>do the door dashing right.

288
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:35.279
<v Speaker 2>With the food? Was it uber Eat? It was a

289
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:38.440
<v Speaker 2>grub Hub grub Hub back during COVID, Now was that

290
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:39.360
<v Speaker 2>did you feel like?

291
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there were days where it was clearly worthwhile

292
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:43.600
<v Speaker 1>and then days where it's like, yeah, you know what,

293
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I guess I made a little bit of money, But

294
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:45.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

295
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:48.039
<v Speaker 3>Think that was great about when I did grub Hub

296
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:51.399
<v Speaker 3>is that you could schedule a time frame and even

297
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.120
<v Speaker 3>if you didn't get any orders, you would get paid

298
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.080
<v Speaker 3>for the amount of time that you signed up to

299
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:57.879
<v Speaker 3>do stuff for. So there were times where it was

300
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:00.159
<v Speaker 3>worth it, But there are also may be times where

301
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.919
<v Speaker 3>you're doing, you know, a whole bunch and maybe you

302
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.799
<v Speaker 3>feel like you're not getting any money worth out of it.

303
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I feel like this is going to be

304
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.279
<v Speaker 1>a This is going to be a very fast moving

305
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.639
<v Speaker 1>thing as far as just you got to strike whenever

306
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.440
<v Speaker 1>there's the demand for it and you can make money,

307
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.200
<v Speaker 1>because it seems like those things just don't last as

308
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.720
<v Speaker 1>long anymore. As far as just things that that if

309
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:20.799
<v Speaker 1>you can provide that service on the side, somebody will

310
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:22.679
<v Speaker 1>pay you. I mean, again, there's some that are timeless,

311
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:27.080
<v Speaker 1>but again there's others that after a while, you giving

312
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.200
<v Speaker 1>your time to do it doesn't make you as much money.

313
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Or again, AI could do a lot of things now

314
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:32.799
<v Speaker 1>that people used to do.

315
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:33.600
<v Speaker 2>As a side hustle.

316
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:35.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, we've got an update of traving weather coming

317
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:37.399
<v Speaker 1>your way right here on news.

318
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:38.799
<v Speaker 2>Radio eight forty whas.

319
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:44.200
<v Speaker 1>So I am early on in month two here in

320
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.720
<v Speaker 1>the saddle as the host of Kentucky and Its Morning News,

321
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.919
<v Speaker 1>which still kind of doesn't seem real. But one thing

322
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.039
<v Speaker 1>I've learned is that right now, and maybe this changes

323
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:55.879
<v Speaker 1>at some point, it's not it's not been common to

324
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.879
<v Speaker 1>see a big news item that has general interest that

325
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.720
<v Speaker 1>again it's a national story, and regardless of political affiliation,

326
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the vast majority seems to be on the same page,

327
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and that.

328
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Is what we have here. It's rare, but the Epstein situation.

329
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:17.159
<v Speaker 1>So yesterday at a press conference, there was a question

330
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:21.480
<v Speaker 1>asked that wasn't wasn't for Donald Trump. It was actually

331
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.480
<v Speaker 1>for someone else, but Trump wanted to step in and

332
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:31.279
<v Speaker 1>I guess question while the question was being asked.

333
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:34.159
<v Speaker 2>And here here's what that sounded like.

334
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I just send your.

335
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?

336
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:41.960
<v Speaker 2>This guy's been talked about for years.

337
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.679
<v Speaker 3>You're asking we have Texas, we have this, we have

338
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.480
<v Speaker 3>all of the things, and are people still talking about

339
00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:49.879
<v Speaker 3>this guy?

340
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:50.480
<v Speaker 1>This great?

341
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:53.559
<v Speaker 2>That is unbelievable.

342
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:57.799
<v Speaker 1>Well, it really is not unbelievable at all. And I

343
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:00.960
<v Speaker 1>don't say that to criticize Trump. I mean, I'm not

344
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.200
<v Speaker 1>surprised by his comments there, but we also live in

345
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.400
<v Speaker 1>a world where people just say things knowing it's not true.

346
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Even if you think it's unbelievable, nobody can be surprised

347
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:10.960
<v Speaker 1>that the recent decision to just tell us, yeah, it's

348
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:13.640
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of over. You know, when it comes to

349
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:21.200
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to transparency and accountability, we don't it

350
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:21.720
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter.

351
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:22.480
<v Speaker 2>It's over.

352
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:25.279
<v Speaker 1>So, I mean that was the expectation. I mean, I

353
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:28.160
<v Speaker 1>think if you ask anybody that's being honest, what would

354
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:32.519
<v Speaker 1>the temperature be in America here if in fact we

355
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:34.359
<v Speaker 1>got what we got earlier this week, which is that

356
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:36.920
<v Speaker 1>it's essentially over and there's no new list, or there's

357
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:39.200
<v Speaker 1>no list, there's no I mean, basically there's nothing left here.

358
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:42.480
<v Speaker 1>We've got Epstein, who we don't really know what happened,

359
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:44.759
<v Speaker 1>but they tell us that he did in fact kill himself.

360
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.640
<v Speaker 1>And of course he was involved in a sex trafficking

361
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:53.279
<v Speaker 1>ring that had thousands of victims, many of whom were minor,

362
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:59.240
<v Speaker 1>and obviously he ended up. I mean, throughout that trial, testimony,

363
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.119
<v Speaker 1>core document, the investigation overall, I mean, it confirmed the

364
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.200
<v Speaker 1>reality of what happened. But now you just have I mean,

365
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:12.200
<v Speaker 1>what it stems from is the frustration from those who

366
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:16.839
<v Speaker 1>look at this as a cover up or incomplete justice,

367
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:20.680
<v Speaker 1>because these things just don't add up. How could this

368
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:22.400
<v Speaker 1>have gone on? And it play out the way that

369
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.480
<v Speaker 1>it did during this trial after Epstein was charged in

370
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:28.079
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen, and everything play out the way that it

371
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:32.240
<v Speaker 1>did since then, including comments just a few months ago

372
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.839
<v Speaker 1>about a document being on a desk and now said

373
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 1>document doesn't exist. So as delusional as that as that

374
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:43.599
<v Speaker 1>seems that it's an insult. It's an insult to our

375
00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:46.759
<v Speaker 1>intelligence to expect people to just believe that. It's Also, though,

376
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:49.839
<v Speaker 1>if you think about it, it's not the easiest situation here,

377
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.640
<v Speaker 1>because you could be you could be tied to Epstein

378
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and have nothing to do with the awful things he

379
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:59.680
<v Speaker 1>was involved in, or even any knowledge of it. I mean,

380
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:02.920
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty clear. But also think about this, for those

381
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:05.440
<v Speaker 1>who just say, I mean, what do they think, we're stupid?

382
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a pretty stupid thing to assume that

383
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:13.480
<v Speaker 1>there'd be like a physical notepad where they're documenting for

384
00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, like keeping it to be That just

385
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:19.519
<v Speaker 1>seems I mean, who would do that? That seems insane

386
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.319
<v Speaker 1>to think about. But anyways, we're all at least united

387
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>on one front that this is nonsense.

388
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Nobody believes what they've told us in regards to this situation.

389
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.319
<v Speaker 1>But I doubt we get any legitimate updates, But that

390
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:35.920
<v Speaker 1>won't keep people from talking about this, probably until the

391
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:37.960
<v Speaker 1>end of time. All Right, we got an update of

392

<v Speaker 1>the traffick situation on the waters, and we'll get an
