12.15: Disrespectful - Hour 2

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We are ten days away from Christmas. The last few
days it's really hit me that it's it's getting closer
and I'm excited, but it all goes by too quick,
it does, But it sounds like and I won't take
any credit because I've I've had.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
No role in it at all.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
But my wife says she's done Christmas shopping and that
makes me happy. But I told her, yeah, right, like
you say that, but I have a hard time thinking
you're not just going to think of somebody else to
get a gift for.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
And that's good. She likes to be generous.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
But you know, if we could keep our Christmas spending
at a manageable level, that would be good for all
of us. But hopefully, you know, hopefully it doesn't end
up being something that you know is. And again I
say that knowing that, like, we're not going to be
foolish and be out here putting ourselves in crazy amount
of debt to get people Christmas gifts.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
But I'm sure many of you listening know that you
want to.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Be able to do what you've always done for Christmas,
because as you get older, that's what makes it great, right,
being generous, especially when it comes to your children, but
you got to also be responsible and things, everything including
gifts that you would get someone for Christmas, are are expensive,
and there's not a whole lot of people making the

(01:10):
the necessity making the same jump as far as their
salary their income compared to the jumps that you see
when you check out at these stores. So again, ten
days away, does it feel like it's here? John, do
you feel like it's sneaking up on us?

Speaker 3 (01:22):
I don't think it's sneaking up on us. I think
a lot of the snow that we've gotten that as
we've talked about the last several weeks, it's really improved
or enhanced the vibes and made it feel like it's
actually Christmas time. That was going to make it weird
over these next really couple of weeks in December. Yeah,
the form it's gonna feel like the forties and fifties.
It feels like a lot of this weather that we've
had the last you know, five or ten days should

(01:44):
have pushed it towards next week instead and had the
mild temperatures a week ago.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yep, I'm with you. And as long as.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
This is a weird thing to want, but like if
it's gloomy in you know, forties, that's fine, but there's
just something about whenever it's rather warm and you have
like really because yesterday was very cold, but many of
us bright outside, like the sun was very very bright,
and I don't know, there's just something about that doesn't
make it quite feel.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
There's nothing worse than forties and fifties and raining, yeah
on Christmas and raining is the worst. And we've had
that a lot, probably one of the more common weathers
we get around here.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, seemingly in recent years.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
I'm with you, all right, it's News Radiway forty Whas
Coffee and Company with you, and we are fueled about Thornton's.
Appreciate our friends over there at Thornton. Stop in and
see them today. They've got a lot of good breakfast
options for you and really whatever you need to stay
fueled for the day ahead. Maybe that's an energy drink,
maybe it's just a big breakfast. Maybe the biscuits and gravy,
which is a newer option they have, or maybe something

(02:43):
light like a donut. You can get a doughnut and
a cup of coffee for just three bucks. And they
also have the large in fact, it's an extra large
Christmas cup for coffee, so again take advantage. All right,
So the NON one one calls from the plane crash
that took place last month here in little of course,
that's been easily one of the biggest stories of the

(03:03):
year as the year is wrapping up, and certainly something
we'll remember around here for a long time. But we
now have some of the audio calls that the the
audio from the NM one one calls that many placed
as they witnessed either the crash itself or the aftermath.
And uh, some of this is is a little tough
to hear, just because it's I mean, it's it's chilling

(03:24):
to kind of try to put yourself in the shoes
of those that are witnessing this and making making the calls.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
But here here goes.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
They're all up or to be aware of your emergency.
Blowing up, Hello, blowing oil, catch it on phone, get
away from hello, yeah, hello, this is nine online. Well
they don't all, well, don't hear me. So it's funny,

(03:55):
I say, probably, oh my god, that so many people
just probably got hello God, oh look at it. I
don't want to.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Look at it.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
So maam, oh my gosh, oh from me.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
So there's more and we'll let you hear more throughout
the morning here. But I mean, the just just think
of the different I guess places you could be as
you witness either what happened, you heard it, you walk
outside the Great A Auto. Of course, that's one of
the businesses that that I think a lot of people
will remember when they think of this, of this happening,
just because I mean, it's it. They had two employees

(04:40):
that were not found and they later recovered their bodies.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
They were dead.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
But to hear just just the panic, and again that's
that's the I mean, I just the randomness of life
just is a wild thing to think about. And for
you to be just walking down the aisle at a
place like Grade A Auto and and all of a sudden,
within a matter of you know, out of nowhere, this
takes place and you're running. And I mean the visual

(05:05):
of people running out of that business as everything unfolded
is I just I can't imagine the feeling and what
that would be like. So, as I've said, since this happened,
you could be someone that is physically not harmed at all,
but man, that is a traumatic experience. To go through
that can leave an impact on you that you feel

(05:26):
really forever. You know, everybody deals with things differently, but
those who made that nine one one call, I'm sure
it's something they'll remember forever. But again, there's more from that,
because it wasn't just one call that came in, obviously,
there were many from many different situations, right, some that
were right there near it, some that just happened to
look up and know that, hey, there was a big

(05:46):
boom and all I see is black smoke. And I'm
looking now just at the the helicopter footage of that night,
and I swear the visual of that is just it's
still it still takes me back to just unbelieve. It
doesn't seem really look real. How that fire just from

(06:08):
I mean, clearly it's the kind of crash that would
cost a fire like that, but just to see it
spread as the night as it got dark outside, it's
just it is. It's a reminder of how crazy that
whole situation was. All Right, something else we've been tracking
this morning, if you are just now joining us, a
big time Hollywood homicide, as a well known actor and

(06:28):
director and his wife were found stabbed to death Rob
Reiner and his wife yesterday around six thirty pm. That
was whenever the paramedics dispatched to their home in Brentwood,
California and found them dead from again what appears to
be stab wounds. And the report from People has yet
to be confirmed because right now it sounds like nobody's
in custody. There's no suspect in custody that's been arrested,

(06:50):
but People magazine is reporting that Nick Reiner, the son
of these of Rob Reiner, is the suspect, but again,
no charge is just yet. All Right, we'll talk a
little NTI on the other side, because it's a nice
reminder today as there's no reason for school to be
canceled because of road conditions for the most part, right.
I mean I say that without knowing how every road looks,

(07:11):
but I would imagine the decision to go in TI
for JCPS today was due to the temperatures, which is understandable,
But it was also a reminder that there are people
who have no impact like this won't impact anybody about
JCPS being in or out of school because it just doesn't.
They don't have kids in the school system, they don't
work for the school system. But it just it bothers
them in a way that kids are now getting out

(07:32):
of school because of temperatures.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Maybe it's because.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Back in their day they wish they would have gotten
out of school for cold tempts. I'm not sure, but anyways,
we'll talk about it. I've got some thoughts on that
to share with you. It's stick around. It's news Radio
eight forty whs. It's six't eighteen here at news Radio
eight forty whas and it is a cold eight degrees
and it's gonna get warmer. It'll warm up, so just
be prepared now. Not gonna get a whole lot warmer

(07:58):
as far as just I mean, we're not gonna get
a bu freezing thing today, although it does look like
the highs is around thirty two thirty three, So again,
maybe that'll feel warm, depending you know, considering what we
had yesterday and what we have right now. But starting tomorrow,
we're going to be warm for the majority of the
rest of December, certainly up until Christmas, at least as
far as the average temperature. So if you're looking for
a break from this arctic air that we have, it's

(08:20):
it's on the way.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
It is all right.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Let me tell you guys once again about the fine
folks at the Louisville Men's Clinic. I'm actually going to
go out and see them a little bit later this week.
Looking forward to that. Always a great trip to catch
up with the staff there, and you've heard me talk
about how they've helped me when it comes to just
my situation, and calling it a situation almost kind of
feels like I'm being dramatic because I'm not really sure
it was that. I just felt that I'd lost my

(08:43):
edge a little bit, that I wasn't getting the same
results that I used to get in the gym. I'd
become lethargic by six point thirty. I kind of just
wanted to shut it down for the day. And I
just assume, well, hey, that's life now. You know, I'm
getting older, and that is certainly a part of it.
But as I noticed just the loss of just again

(09:05):
energy and more than anything, I just felt like, Hey,
why am I gaining belly fat here? Why do I
have man boobs? You know, I'm not on a strict diet,
but I'm watching what I eat and I am active.
Why is it not showing at all? I wasn't wanting
to look in the mirror and feel like I'm training
for a fitness competition.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
But some just didn't seem to add up.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
So finally I thought, Okay, well maybe maybe I could
have low testosterone. And I thought, well, surely that can't
be it, because I'm not old enough for that to
be an issue.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
And I was an idiot.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
I mean, I'm sure you guys probably think that here
and there throughout every morning, but I was an idiot
when it comes to that because I just didn't even
know really what the signs of low TEE could be
and who could suffer from it. And you can look,
as you get older, even when you get nearing your thirties,
you start to have it testosterone. I guess it's better
off to put it this way. You stop producing levels

(09:53):
that you once did when you were younger, and it's
not something that's going to be a real high risk
for your health. It's not something that you're position is
probably going to point out when you get lab work done,
because it's not a you're you're not in danger. But
if your levels are where are they're in a range
for somebody that is in your age range, it can
have such an impact on your life. And I say

(10:15):
that not trying to be dramatic. It's just the truth.
You know, I now have more energy, I feel better.
I mean, if you if you want to look it
up you don't, you don't have to just take my
word for it. You'll see what low testosterone the impacts
it can have on you that you would never know.
So I don't have those issues anymore. It's been two
years now, and not an exaggeration to say that's how

(10:35):
they've helped change my life. I feel better. Not to
say I look great, but I look better than I
did for a good chunk of my of my thirties,
and and honestly, I didn't do anything other than just
get this regulated, get this worked out to where my
levels are where they're supposed to be. I'm not following
some crazy strict diet. I didn't make some drastic change

(10:56):
to my workout plan or anything like that. It's just
I realizeay, the reason why I felt the way that
I felt, the reason why I started to look the
way I looked, was because I was losing testosterone at
a high level. And now not so again. They've helped
me in a big way. They can help you too. Also,
if there's other things you could benefit from, check them out, right.

(11:16):
I mean, they've got a lot of ways to treat
erectile dysfunction. They can help you when it comes to
losing weight, They've got weight loss treatment options. So again
I can't recommend them enough. It's the louisvill Men's Clinic.
You can check them on out online at Louisvillemen's Clinic
dot com. All Right, Travick and weather updates on the way. Also,
another sports update is on the way. As we roll
along a busy Monday morning, stick around right here New's
Radio eight forty whas. I could be wrong, but I

(11:41):
assume the NTI Remote Learning, virtual Learning, whatever school, whatever
your school district caused it, if they decided to do
it today, I'm assuming it's more so due to temperatures
rather than a bunch of snowfall, because we really had
a pretty mild weekend of snow. When it comes to
I guess what folks were expecting, and I think as
he got close to Saturday and Saturday evening it was

(12:02):
it was clear that it wasn't going to be substantial.
But again, the freezing cold temperatures. It's it's brutal. So
JCPS is on NTI and I believe some of the
Southern Indiana school districts have done their their version of
remote learning, but most of the schools in the region
seem to be up and running as if it was
a normal day. But just some some historic numbers for
you here as far as just how cold right now

(12:25):
we were looking at I think seven eight degrees depending
on where you are, and I think we're gonna get
I mean, yesterday, I'm not sure it got above the teens.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
That's how cold it was.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
And it was very sunny, which usually that can at
least help a little bit, but it was freezing cold yesterday.
It was the type of temperature that I would just
call flat out, you know, disrespectful, but you know that's
just me. But anyways, the cold is that it's ever
been in Louisville, the coldest recorded temperature in Louisville. Any
any guesses, John.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
I think I saw this the other day. Is it's
like negative twenty two.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Right on the spot, wow, look at you.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yes, So it was in nineteen ninety four, it was
a staggering negative twenty two degrees outside and of course
that was part of that historic nineteen ninety four snowstorm,
which you know, I mean, I remember it. I was
six at the time, and I remember it just because
it was unusual, to say the least when it comes

(13:19):
to when it comes to just the like, I just
remember being outdoors and my parents had to hold me
because if they sat me down, I was going to
be submerged under snow. Which was kind of cool, but
also you know a little much. But yeah, that was
that was wild. But yeah, the coldest that it's ever

(13:39):
been in I guess the region, negative thirty seven in
Shelbyville that was that was also around that was in
nineteen ninety four at that same time. So the biggest
twenty four hour temperature drop, the most dramatic temperature plunge,
happened in January of nineteen sixty three. The temperature fell
fifty eight degrees in twenty four hours, which is insane

(14:00):
three degrees at eleven PM, and then it was down
to negative twelve degrees the next day. Now, the coldest
winter that we've had on record was nineteen seventy seven
and nineteen seventy eight. So the average temperature for the
entire winter was just twenty seven degrees. And that was
also the last time. I'm not sure it was the

(14:20):
last time, but I know it was when the Ohio
there was coverage, of course of the Ohio River freezing over,
and I think it was nearly thirty days they went
below zero temperatures that.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Made that possible.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
And I of course was not around when that happened,
but I do remember hearing a lot about that because
of my parents. I believe my dad had told me that,
like he missed an entire month of school because of
just the amount of snow they got in because of.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
How cold it was.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
How does that even happen?

Speaker 2 (14:50):
I get, you know, as if you're the expert.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, well, well I think again, I guess more than anything,
you just got to think about the resources that were
not there then.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Now.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Also, he was in a smaller school system at the time,
and he just like his just like his son, he's
Bullet County Public public school system educated. But yeah, maybe
it look like anything your parents tell you about the snow,
Like maybe he exaggerated a little bit. Right, Like the
back in my day, we walked up hill two miles
to get to in a foot of snow, So my

(15:22):
dad's not typically the one that would do that. But yeah,
they were out of school a bunch, And honestly, the
reason I remember it is this, so my dad he played,
he would say I would I went to this.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
I followed in his.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Footsteps, as they say, So I went to the same
high school he did, Northollte High School. We both played basketball,
and he was a really, really good player, And in
the end of my career he reminded me that he
had more career points than I.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Did, which because he was good.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
He also reminded me that he didn't have a three
point line back then, and he also reminded me that
he only played five or six games as a junior
because of all the games got snowed out. So that's
why I remember that. They just didn't have school and
they didn't have games because of that. But yeah, I'm
sure many of you listening remember how cold it was
in seventy seven seventy eight, and clearly there was a
lot of snow as well. So it's nice to see

(16:07):
that the rest of this year it's going to be warm,
at least for what you know, compared to what we've
had in the last really December, I mean December two
weeks in she showed up and a lot of snow
she was here, I mean, more snow than we typically
get for sure for this time of year, well above
the average there. But we're we're already pretty close to
the average amount of snowfall that we get in Louisville

(16:28):
for every winter season. So maybe she just showed up
early and she'll leave us alone.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
But I've been as soon as January rears its ugly
head and we have a few weeks those mild temperatures,
we'll get what we typically get at that time of year,
and that's kind of the random kind of scary snowstorm
that we got. Maybe last ye. Maybe we won't get
eight inches of snow, but that seems to be I
feel like the typical you know, the weeks that you
look at when you get kind of the worst of
the winter. I feel like around here.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah, And I think when I think of winter historically
around here, you know, we like we at any moment,
we could get some snow that could cause issue, but
then within the next few days we could be at
like sixty.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Oh yeah, I don't think very much for it.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Last year, right, like last year was a cold winner, Yeah,
and that's why we had the worst January we've had
in a long long time. So again today it's going
to warm up and then from here on out looking
pretty good as far as just avoiding these arctic temperatures
because we're looking at an average of upper forties the
rest of the way until we get to Christmas, So
it'll get better. If you're somebody that hates the cold,
and I know many of you do. All right, we've

(17:25):
got a traffick in weather update on the way for you.
We'll let you hear more of the non one one
audio calls that have now been released from the UPS
plane crash last month. So stick with us again, trafficking
weather updates right here right now at news Radio eight
forty whas. I'm not sure how many non one one
calls actually came in, but we now have a handful

(17:45):
of them that have been released, and it is a
it's a scary thing to hear, and it's the not
on one calls from the UPS plane crash that took
place last month. And if you think about just all
the different I guess situations people could be in to
where they would see it or maybe be up close
to it.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Maybe they knew what would happen.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Maybe they just saw the black smoke and heard the
noise in thought to call. But yeah, the again, I
can't imagine being somebody in that situation. But also good
on these folks for at least just feeling as if, Hey,
I'm sure somebody else is called, or you know, I
assume it's not needed, but hey, just to be safe,
let me just make make it well known to h

(18:27):
to authorities that we've got a situation here and to
call it that would be again a massive, massive understandment.
But here is some of the nine one one calls
that our partners at WKHY included in their recent story
on this.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
PS plane was going to take off and he did
not go. It went straight and down and going on.
Are so many people you need to send everybody? Oh
my god, I'm freaking.

Speaker 5 (18:51):
Out, chilling nine to one one calls showcase the horror
from the ground as a ups cargold plane mere moments
after takeoff Crashton, Louisville, November fourth, There is a huge explosion.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
Almost half the street is on fire. Oh my god,
that so many people just probably got Hello god, Oh
look at it.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
I don't want to look at it.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
Oh my why so damn?

Speaker 4 (19:18):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
Fourteen people, including the three pilots on board, were killed,
and dozens of others on the ground were injured. And
we're hearing for the first time calls to dispatch from
many of the area who were trapped surrounded by smoking flames.

Speaker 4 (19:34):
Public, please take any breaths on it. Why I'm looking
at the fire. Look, I mean, the sky's black. The
plane just crashed, all right. Our people are at work.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
I am standing here looking at the black smoke.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
We're just landing on one of our buildings. There's like
about ten of us Sex back here behind the fire
that's going on.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
You can hear the sheer panic in their voices.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
How are we going to get out? So?

Speaker 1 (20:03):
I mean where?

Speaker 4 (20:04):
Okay, should we evacuate or should it's still exploding? God
dang man, at least whole place's gonna go up. I
don't want to be like, I mean, there's there's buildings
on fire owing and it's just get close to mine.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
I'm like, I want to get out of here. So again,
there's more that you can hear and it or maybe
you don't want to hear it and it's so I understand.
But yeah, the those that were were were stuck for
some of you if you're I know, people who were
at work at ups at the time that were you know,
in lockdown for for obvious reasons, but that would be

(20:39):
such a helpless feeling. And again the amount of situations
you could be in as somebody that maybe you know
your home is near it and you hope that it
doesn't end up spreading meeting the fire, but also like
you visually see what's going on, and you probably are
fearful in a big way that that it's not going
to end up taking you know, taking your house down

(20:59):
with everything else. So again, just a scary, scary situation
all the way around, and everybody deals with things differently.
But if you were somebody that was one that did
call nine one one, or you were just in the
area and you were you were on lockdown, or you
were scrambling to get a hold of somebody, and you

(21:21):
might have been able to reach somebody rather easily. But
also like maybe it was quick, but man, I bet
it didn't feel like it. When the phone's ringing and
you know somebody's near there, I just there's so many
different scenarios for so many people that were just going
on about their day like any other Tuesday in early November,
that had either a life changing experience for tragic reasons,

(21:42):
maybe you lost a loved one, or maybe you just
you know, you're traumatized by everything that comes with something
like that. So again, something well remember around here for
a long long time. All Right, we've got a traffic
and weather update on the way for you. So far,
pretty smooth morning when it comes to traffic, other than,
of course, the construction delays that have now at least
become consistent. Right, you know you're getting that, But we'll

(22:03):
see if there's any accidents to be looking out for,
Bobby Ellis, we'll getus caught up.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Also, we've got a

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Sports update coming your way in just a few minutes
right here at news Radio eight forty whas
