(KMN) 8.18: Zero the Hero - Hour 2

the week started. And we were spoiled yesterday with a unexpected day where it didn't get up to ninety degrees. And I say unexpected because I mean the one and only Matt Melosovitch told me that it was a surprise, and he knows what he's talking about much more than I do. And the heat will return today, but we've got some cooler temperatures coming your way later this week, which will be good not only for you know, I mean, I can't speak for anybody but myself, but I'm certainly

a little bit over. I'm well over the heat, to be honest with you. But also, we've got high school football starting this week here in Kentucky, Ina, and that's always exciting, and it's not on that you get to this time of the year and they may have to delay start times of game. I'm sorry, Yeah, delay start times of games because of the humidity and the heat index and all that. But it sounds like we don't

have to worry about that when it comes to this weekend. Now, what you may have to worry about today is some some closures that could cause you some some delays on getting where you need to be. So the Young Center, they're getting the roof upgraded, and I don't know why that became news last week, but it did, and I look, it's a big deal, I suppose, But the real big deal from it is not just that there's going to be a new roof, which, by the way, nobody sees the roof of the UM Center.

course we noticed the work. That maybe there was some strategy here is getting that out of the way to where when they tell us that this roof replacement roof upgrade is going to create some lane closures, maybe maybe that was maybe there was a method there, like okay, we're kind of warning them that the new roof might come with some potential issues along the way. I don't it just seemed odd that became.

minor fender bender. And then I'll see somebody I mean this, this, This hasn't happened to me in a while, but I'm sure others have had the same situation where somebody just their car broke down in the middle lane of an interstate and like that has caused a huge issue, and there's nothing they can do other than wait for assistance to arrive and help them.

no rhyme or reason. And you know, people's cars just have issues where they they they break down, and to have that happen, like, let's just say you're in stop and go traffic because of the hustle and bustle of rush hour, and then all of a sudden, your car comes to a stop and then it just doesn't go and then I mean, I can't imagine the anxiety that I would have just knowing one that, like, oh what am I going to do? But also all these people behind me are gonna hate me. But you know you can't,

you can't do it. I mean, it happens. It happens. So anyways, this the um Center celebrating the fifteenth anniversary and getting some big upgrades and one of them is the roof. But it could cause some headaches for the downtown commuters because a large crane is needed to complete the reconstruction of the roof. So to make room, sections of South third Street between River Road and Main Street

will be temporarily closed starting today through December. So the parking garage entrances at both guld House Hotel and the UM Center are going to be accessible and the closures are going to be lifted during all major arena events to avoid traffic chaos for fans. So again, this is going to be some work in progress. When it comes to events taking place at the M Center, they will open it up, of course, to keep it being a

complete mess. Now, additional closures may come up as this project continues, but if so, they'll be out in front. I would imagine to announce in advance so people can make can make adjustments.

in a way that most aren't. But it's also led to her becoming a viral story because of what she did. We'll talk about it. Part of it includes pouring glitter into the air vents of her ex boyfriend's vehicle, which that's.

of exactly where it is within the state. But nonetheless it is in Kentucky. And this story, of course, has gone national to an extent.

boyfriend ex boyfriend's vehicle by doing these things. She put salt into the engine, she put glitter into the air vents, she slashed the tires, she damaged and really destroyed the windshield and rearview mirror, and she also damaged and smashed the radio screen. So the estimated damages are twelve thousand. It's more than twelve thousand dollars, so that car is actually it's a total loss.

And it's not uncommon. In fact, I have found myself at times on TikTok seeing a video where someone is either videoing the person in the act or or I guess videoing the person in the act that they know, meaning a boyfriend or a girl and more often, I mean I don't I don't have any numbers to say who does this? More women or men, But the videos I've seen, it's more men videoing their girlfriends or their ex damaging their property just to document it. I don't

see it the other way around that often. But because on TikTok, just how the algorithm works, Like once I watch one of those, then they feed me more, and I have learned I kind of can't.

got caught. And not only is that potentially going to be a civil thing where you know, you got to pay for the damages, but you also again could be prosecuted with criminal mischief and whatnot.

traving the weather. Also, we've got an update of sports coming up here from Scott right.

you're at the fair grounds. But man, some of the humidity that we've had lately, it's got me thinking, if I don't have to leave the house, I'm not going to do it. But if there's one thing I may leave the house for, regardless of conditions outside, it might be the State Fair, because that's just how much I love the State Fair. So yeah, they said that the opening weekend a big success. They had indoor and outdoor attractions that brought a lot of people out there. So

the fair is awesome. I love it everything about it, and it sounds like so far. The hot food items are the jumbo hot dogs, which I guess those are a little different than your typical hot dogs. Maybe they've unveiled a bigger hot dog than what you typically get. But pickle pizza and hot honey pepperoni pizza and a chicken bacon waffle sandwich, and of course the donut burger. That just I think of the Fair when I think

of the donut burger. If you, I'm assuming you've never had the donut burger, you no.

for either. That's fair food though, right man. That's that's that's right right in the wheelhouse of what you just consider a fair event type of food. And well, I've not had any of this at the fair just yet, because i haven't gone, and I'm itching. I may leave here after the show and just go and walk around by myself because I'm jealous of all those that have

been able to make it out thus far. But hot honey Pepperoni pizza that has now become a menu item at a lot of pizza places, and I don't know who thought of it, but I want to thank them because it's delicious. I've had different pizza places here in town that have it, and I would imagine the hot honey pizza at the Fair is really good now. Chicken bacon waffle sandwich another item that I'm sure is popular, and I get while people would like it, I just I

don't need it. It's just it doesn't you know, it's a little much for me. I'm very I no longer have the palette of a toddler like I used to, as far as just you know, chicken fingers, chicken nuggets and a burger plane like I. You know, I realized my children order similar to what I've ordered the way I've ordered food until my thirties. I'm a little diver. I mean, I'm not exotic. I'm not trying any wild stuff.

But there's also certain things I just know that I I don't like, certain foods don't like.

like I can enjoy those things separately. Man talk about having fomo fear of missing out for those that don't know what that is. Last night, Aaron Tipping, Sammy kershawt.

I wanted to go, and I could have gone. My wife, she is great, but she knew that she'd been away for a weekend at a concert, and I'm sure she didn't want to, but she wanted to me to be able to go, and she was gonna get somebody to watch the kids. But I just I made the responsible decision that said I better not, because I mean we're

talking Aaron Tip and Sammy Kershaw. I don't know what kind of night I would have had that would have been wise for this early start to get this show started, because I may think, Okay, you're gonna go enjoy the concert for an hour, have a couple of beers, and then Nick Coffee turns into Rick Coffee, where I've become really just the drunk version of myself that has been retired for the most part. I mean, he's not reappeared

in a while, and he doesn't need to. I've kind of, you know nowadays, that doesn't even sound fun to me. But what got me to say no, I'm not going to go Two things. One, I knew that if I was there, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy it as much because I would have been thinking about, oh man, I gotta get up at three thirty in the morning. And that's really what I've learned is that Sunday's just become those kind of days to where I don't do much of anything, or at least I try not.

to see them again. And for those who are curious why I'm a weirdo for a nineties country and I guess I'm not alone because it sounds like they drew a big crowd last night. And I'm telling you there's become like a there's because of these guys are older and they're not as in your face with social media because a lot of them probably don't even know how to use it. Because we're talking about, you know, artists

in their sixties and sometimes seventies. That's just different than how music is consumed now to where like I can see why it's appealing to people who grew up on it. And I'm certainly one of those people who loves nineties country. So if you went last night. I hope you had a good time. I'm very jealous that I missed out, but sounds like a lot of people had a good time also. Real quick on the fair, they were reminding

folks about the chaperone policy. Anyone under the age of eighteen must be with an adult twenty one or old or after six pm on weekdays and at all times on Fridays and Saturdays. So keep that in mind. You can't just drop your kiddos off without somebody being there to chaperone them at certain times, so just keep that in mind. All right, we got another update coming your way on the roadways. We'll also get an update on

the forecast from Matt Melosavich. As we move forward here on a Monday morning on Kentucky and it's morning News Coffee in Company with you on News Radio eight forty whas.

and just you know, just hang out and converse. I wouldn't call it gossip, but maybe it is a level of gossip to where put it this way, We're no longer like in we don't run in like social circles and have a big social life because we just don't. We we're parents and that consumes a lot of our time. And I wouldn't change it.

couples using a portable listening device. On average, couple spent about thirty eight minutes a day gossiping, with twenty nine minutes of that with their partner. Those who gossip more frequently reported higher levels of happiness and relationships satisfaction. Gossiping may help couples feel like they're on the same team, building trust, intimacy, and connectedness. I mean, I guess I just have a little bit of a disconnect as far as what level of gossip are we talking about here?

Like I don't maybe I don't have a good feel for what actually what is considered to be gossiping. Because if you asked me, do you and your wife gossip? I would say no, Like, what will we gossip about? It's got to be like you sharing stories about Maybe you gossip about friends that you have. But to me, gossips like rumor stuff. How do you define gossip?

their kids, it's not like it's personal. And again, it's not mean spirited, but I guess it's considered gossip when we're like, oh wow, man, they really need to get that in check because their kids terrible. I mean, it's not personal, it's not mean, wouldn't say it to them to their face directly, but like, I guess that's considered gossip, and I'll admit we at times do that, So yeah, I guess I fall in line there.
