(KMN) 9.30: When September Ends - Hour 4

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Kentucky, and it is in fact about four
seconds from now, it's going to be eight o five
here on a Tuesday morning. Thanks for hanging out with us.
It is Kentucky and this morning news, coffee and company
with you. It looks as if there is still some
delays this morning on I sixty five North. Uh, the
current camera I'm looking at looks like there's it's getting

(00:23):
it's moving slowly, let's put it that way. But I
sixty five North, just past Saint Catherine Street, there was
an accident that took place a little bit a little
bit before seven am this morning, and it's led to
the right lane and right shoulder being blocked. So they
are moving folks through, but it's just not going very fast.
So I'll be advised and we'll keep you updated as
best we can throughout the morning on any other traffic issues.

(00:46):
So we now know a little more about the individual
who shot and killed two people. In fact, as far
as how many people were actually shot, I'm not sure,
but there were four people total that died at the
Mission Church shooting that took place on Sunday. And again
we now know more about the individual that did that.
It was Thomas Jacob Sandford, who was forty years old,

(01:08):
and he drove his vehicle through the church's front doors
and opened fire with an assault rifle during the services,
and then of course he started a fire with gasoline.
Four people were killed. Two of those were killed from
gunshot wounds. It sounds like.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Two of the others that passed away.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
I don't know if they were shot, but the fire,
of course was believed to be a factor in their death.
Eight others remained hospitalized. So what we know about this
individual is he was a Marine veteran served from two
thousand and four to two thousand and eight, including deployments
to Iraq in two thousand and seven in two thousand
and eight, and looks like the former Let's see.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
What I'm trying to figure.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
There's a mischi somebody a Michigan politician Chris Johns who
I'm unfamiliar with who that actually is. But apparently this
individual had some kind of relationship, had some kind of
contact recently with uh, this this Thomas Sandford guy. But
Cash Mattel FBI directors said that the the hatred was

(02:10):
towards the Mormon faith. That was that was I guess
the motive here and this This politician in Michigan says
that Sandford had told people last week that he disliked
the Latter day Saints church, claiming its followers quote believed
they were above Jesus. He previously lived in Utah, where
he dated a woman in the church, but the relationship
ended over demands to change his appearance and lifestyle. So uh,

(02:33):
he also this this Uh. The shooter also apparently had
drug struggles after returning from Iraq, and he has since
given a full statement to the FBI and Michigan State Police.
So uh, that's that's And again I hate to present
it as if, okay, well that makes sense. It will
never make sense why people choose to do these kind
of things and and and harmed and kill people who

(02:57):
were just innocent victims here. But it sounds like he
dated a woman in Utah and things fell apart in
their relationship and he held that against the Mormon community
and that's what led him to do the unthinkable. So
just a can't relate, which I'm sure most people can't

(03:20):
when it comes to something that would lead you to
do something like this. I also can't say that I'm
surprised to see that you have many people trying to
use this as a chance to take a shot at
the other side, meaning the political side. I mean, there
are some people sharing. In fact, even I think it's
even might have been even a senator who shared a

(03:40):
picture that I mean, it's hard to tell that it's doctored,
but once once you see the real picture and then
the fake one that is doctored. I think somebody put
like a Trump twenty twenty logo or on a shirt
of this guy from his social media pages, and I
guess maybe you wouldn't know that it's not real. But

(04:02):
that's why you got to be careful before you post
that kind of stuff, especially for somebody of that of
that status. But yeah, there were two deadly shootings over
the weekend, in two mass shootings, I should say, the
other one that took place in Carolina. We're still getting
more information about that. But yeah, just as I said yesterday,
and I wish I had a different a different opinion

(04:23):
to share that's not so repetitive. But I just I
hate that these things happening are no longer really much
of a surprise.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I hate it. Our let's pitch gears real quick here
coming up.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Later today, we're going to hear from JCPS Superintendent, Doctor
Brian Yearwood twelve fifteen is going to speak publicly, and this,
of course is going to be about the huge budget
deficit that they're currently facing, one hundred and eighty eight
million dollars and they've already made some changes, some cuts,
it sounds like, but there's gonna need a lot They're

(04:55):
gonna need a lot more work in order to get
this thing situated. Because when you hear one hundred eighty
eight million dollar deficit, I mean, I trust me, it's
way way way above my pay grade to know as
far as what type of action you can take to
to get yourself out of this mess. But I mean,
I wouldn't be shocked if this is one of the

(05:18):
I mean, I'm just trying to think of situations within
JCPS where they've had a crisis like this, rather it
be financial crisis or just a crisis for other reasons,
meaning a couple of years ago, or for example, a
couple year ago when they couldn't get anybody to school
because of the awful bus situation. So I'm not even
sure what we're going to hear from doctor Brian year would,
but I know we'll have coverage of it here on

(05:38):
eight forty whas because this this, this, this is a
this is a nightmare situation for them all the way around.
And you know, they obviously they want to you know,
they don't want to actually make any changes that are
going to affect the resources for students that that are
needed when it comes to school.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
But I mean, I get to.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Me, nothing would be off the table here as far
as what you have to do, because again, that's a
lot of money. I mean, that's that's an understatement. All right,
let's get to an update of trafficking weather. We'll see
if things are clearing up on sixty five North again,
I believe right now that is the biggest accident that's
causing some delays. But we'll get the latest from Bobby Ellis.
Also we'll get an update to look at the forecast
from at Melosovich at WLKY. And then coming up at

(06:23):
eight thirty five, Roory O'Neil of NBC News is going
to stop by. We'll talk about this potential government shutdown
that it seems as if that's that's what's going to
take place, doesn't seem as if either side is making
progress to keep that from happening. So again, we'll get
to that a little bit later on right here on
news Radio eight forty whas. It's eight seventeen here at

(06:44):
news Radio eight forty whas. Appreciate you hanging out with
us here on a Tuesday morning. Don't forget Tuesday, time
Machine Tuesday coming up a little bit later on.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
You hear that right now.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
He's excited. That's Tony Venetti. There we go, So a
couple of cool stories as we go back in time.
We'll do that as we wrap up the show a
little bit later on, but real quickly the government shut down.
We'll talk to Rory O'Neil coming up here in about
eight thirty five. We'll get the latest on that. As
it doesn't look as if there's any real expectation that

(07:18):
this is that this is avoidable. I mean, I guess
it technically still is avoidable, but doesn't look as if
there's going to be any action taken on either side
as far as conceding and avoiding this. And there's so
many that understandably, so just get they're in their own bubble,
they're in their own world if it doesn't impact them
and their daily routine and their job, their kids, their livelihood,

(07:39):
they just you know, they roll along. I totally understand that.
But there are people who will be impacted by this
because if the certain jobs they have, they may go
without a paycheck, which is a scary, scary thing to
think about right now. So again we'll get to that
coming up here around eight thirty five with Rory O'Neil.
All right, so the fall weather is not here yet,
but the false season is here, and you will soon

(08:00):
probably have some cold air creeping into your home. So
don't let cracked or stuck windows ruin the season. Wind
Donation is some of the best replacement windows out there,
installed just one day or less. Plus they back every
window with a lifetime warranty and this month only you
buy two windows, you get too free with no limit.
Even better, make no payments, no down payment, no interest
until twenty twenty seven. That's why I trust wind Donation

(08:23):
and you should too. They've got an eight plus Better
Business Bureau rating and over forty five thousand five star
reviews and more than three million windows installed nationwide. Give
them a call eight six six ninety nation or visit
windownation dot com before October thirty first. That October thirty
first eight is because you can get a free estimate.
So again, windownation dot COM's the website. Check them out,

(08:43):
all right, So real quickly, this is probably gonna make
you hungry, and I'm sorry if you if you're in
a situation where you can't get breakfast or you gotta
wait till lunch, whatever it may be. Because we now have,
I guess a breakdown that I think is good information
to have fast food.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
I don't try to eat it.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
I mean, I try not to eat it very often,
but you know, sometimes I do pig out and get
McDonald's or Taco Bell. But this is a breakdown from
Yahoo Life that tells us which gives you the most
food for your money McDonald's, Subway, or Taco Bell. And
I have yet to even look at this breakdown just
yet because I wanted to quiz myself. Essentially, I'm going

(09:20):
to assume that the most bang for your buck is
not going to be Subway. No offense to subway. I
just when I think of subway sandwiches and I haven't
had one in a long time, and I like subway,
just don't get it very often. But I can think
of times where I've gone to Subway and felt like, well,
where's the rest of the sandwich. There's a lot of
bread here, but you know I'm missing I'm missing something.

(09:42):
But here is the breakdown here. So as you likely know,
and I'm reading here directly from the article, not all
fast food meals are created equal when it comes to
filling you up. If you're choosing between McDonald's, Taco Bell
and Subway, here's a look at which gives you the
most food for your money. McDonald's. Here's the matchups. McDonald's
bacon quarter pounder with cheese meal. I didn't even know
that was a thing, but it sounds delicious. So you

(10:03):
get that with the medium fry, the drink, and a
hardy Cordy medium fries drink and the hardy quarter pound
burger top with bacon around fourteen to twenty nine. That
price seems insane. Taco Bell, the Cantino burrito meal, chicken burrito,
crunchy taco chips and nacho cheese and a drink. That's

(10:23):
four total items for eleven dollars and forty nine cents.
At Subway, you get the ultimate BMT foot long meal
that's salami, pepperoni, ham, provol owned veggies, and a vinagrette
sauce on Italian bread comes with chips and a drink
priced at fifteen dollars and eighty eight cents. So by quantity,
Taco Bell wins, offering the largest spread in the cheapest

(10:46):
price by volumes. Subway and McDonald's are heavier hitters with
bigger meteor portions per itum. Subway foot longs can pack
in six plus ounces of meat. So again the verdict
is this, if you're looking for the most foods per dollars, Subways,
I guess Ultimate BMT edges out the competition despite the
higher price tag. But if you're most if you're looking

(11:08):
for variety for a lower cost, that's where Taco Bell
comes in. And that's where like Taco Bell, I feel
like anytime I go there, it's the ultimate place where
I'm thinking, Man, how did fast food become so expensive?
But it's because of me. I need the chicken q sadia,
I need the nacho fry. If they've got them available,
might as well give me a five layer burrito no beans,
And then you know that's why my bill ends up

(11:28):
being expensive. Where I need to finance the meal. Now
I'm hungry.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
I knew that was going to happen.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
It feels like you get a lout of a la
carte at Taco Bell.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Not so much that.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Oh yeah yeah. In fact, you know me too well.
And that's the only place I do that, by the way,
that's why it's expensive. If I mean, if anytime, if
I'm ever gonna get McDonald's or really any place, I'm
gonna get some kind of a combo meal. But at
Taco Bell, I could easily get the chicken q Sadia
with the taco and the drink. That's a meal that
I could get. But I just I get greedy John,
I want the fries. I want other things too. Taco

(11:58):
Bell is so good, but it's not good for me,
so I'm going to try to avoid it as my
lunch option today.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
All right, let's get to a quick time out. We'll
get a check of traffic and weather.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
We'll also get another sports update from Scott right here
on news Radio eight forty whas. I don't know how
much momentum this is actually picked up, but I'm gonna
act like it's got a lot of momentum.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Tom Machine Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Is John William Alden the third great job on that.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Sound, Jim Moring serial killer.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
We're going back in time once again. Nineteen years ago.
This was one of the big stories in the Courier
Journal here in Louisville because more than forty thousand fans
packed into Churchill Downs for a rainy but unforgettable night
as the Rolling Stones returned to Louisville for the first
time since nineteen eighty nine.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yep, that was a big deal. And it rained.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Were you there?

Speaker 3 (12:47):
No, I didn't, I wouldn't you could know. So Dwight,
Dwight paid five hundred dollars. What even though he had tickets,
great tickets, great tickets.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
He's wearing a Rolling Stones t shirt by the way.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
He is.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
That's his that's his band and besides Sammy. But he
bought five hundred dollars tickets. But when it rained, they
had to put another thing like up on the stage
and it blocked the view of the thing.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Look at this picture and yeah, you can see the
people in the and with the with the tar.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
He's on the stage. He's on like the third level
of the stage. And he paid five hundred dollars a ticket.
Now here's the deal. So they blocked his view. He
couldn't see, so he said, well, I'll just go down
and sit with the station guys. They said, no, once
you're up here and the concert started, you have to
stay in this area. You can't leave.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
So he wasn't happy.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
He was living.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Look how many people are there?

Speaker 1 (13:34):
I know.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
I mean, it's the visual here.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Well, here's where it leads. Here's where a story like
this leads. Churchill Downs did this. They flirted with concerts
for about five years.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
And they were always successful.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
I thought, I thought so too. They had it was yes, yeah,
and they had that big one where it was like
ten bands. It was like Louder in life. But at
Churchill Downs, right, they had like ten stages and all
that was at oh okay, all right, yeah, but they
says it was called ullabaloo. Oh hullabaloo. That's exactly what
it was called. Thank you, Dwight Whitten via John William

(14:06):
Olding the THIRTI so, but they have stopped that obviously,
they have said we don't.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
They don't need to.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
They don't need to. They don't need to.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
But it says here then fans.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Range from twenty to sixty plus years old, and many
saying it could be their last chance to see the
band live.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Despite the rain, the crowd was electric.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Nineteen years ago. They were saying it.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeap, and they're out there in their eighties now Stones
the Stones opened. Actually, Dwight, do you know he's in
there still?

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Maybe not.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm not sure he's here, but not near a microphone.
I want to know if he knew the opening song.
If not, I can tell you.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
I can guarantee you he does. Don't let him come
back in, Okay, say there's no way.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, I'll wait till that.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
But so Mick Jagger was wearing a sequin fedora and
a silver jacket and told fans, quote, this is the
first time anybody's played in this particular gig. Fantastic Is
that true? Was he the first ever play there at
Churchill Downs in nineteen This is in two thousand and six,
so no more. The one I'm thinking of, music wise,
was after.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
This, right, guess so? Yeah, I guess so so.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Locals described the night as it was a big history
and it's it was an hour never opportunity to see
the legends, which they.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Were about that all of the sports radio nerds were all.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
Just like, well, we've got to make sure the horses
are taking care of and the horses can't have all
that noise, and what if somebody drop something on the track.
If there's a you know, some sort of item on
the track and the horses get injured.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Isn't that why they go around with the rake and
redo the and drag the track to make sure there's
nothing like that on there. I've got another story quickly.
This is not one that it doesn't need a whole
lot of time to reset. But the Kentucky State Fairboard,
this was back in looks like nineteen somewhere in the nineties,
but there was an issue with the River Frogs had

(15:46):
got a better deal at the Kentucky Fair Exposition Center
that that property than the previous hockey team that I
didn't know existed, the ice Hawks.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
The ice Hawks, Yeah, the ice Hawks.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
So there was a battle about ownership. The Olmers, I
guess gave a better deal to the club they had
ownership in than I guess the previous The.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
River Frogs were the king Yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
It was just cool.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
It was awesome. There's still in existence just under it.
And I had the Vinetti Frog pad did they did
they invent that?

Speaker 2 (16:15):
They did they create broadvent for that?

Speaker 3 (16:18):
No, No, Broad's been around forever.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
So I remember that's the only thing I remember when
I was a kid, and I thought of broad Ben Arena,
I knew's where the river Frogs played.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
So our first experience, as Louisvillion's real quick was we
didn't know hockey. We never had a hockey team before,
and we didn't realize the e c HL was a
fight league. It was a good league. So there's a
goon on every major team, right, so this was the
league to find your goon. So the first game, it's
two minutes into the game, gloves are dropped and they're
playing bad, bad lu Ro Brown and they're allowing them

(16:48):
to fight. That's the rules of hockey. And we're all
We're sitting there, look at each other with beers in
our hands, going no way. They were a huge success.
They were five six thousand people to each game. So
what happened, Well, they switched to the River Frogs and
it was it was going really, really well. And then
some crazy dude bought the Panthers, which was the next

(17:08):
level up, and moved it to Freedom Hall, and that
was a miserable failure.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
And now they are the farm team for the Dallas Stars.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
In Dallas, the same people that ran the River Frogs
and the Ice Hogs are the Louisville Bats.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Folks never knew that you're talking about. You're educating me.
You talk about EHL.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
We had EHL out in West Texas when hockey came
to Texas.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Yeah, Nick, you missed it.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
I missed it.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Hey, you had football fans cheering for the checks into
the boards because that's the only thing they knew from
football was hard.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Hits, the stones open with jumping Jack flash. I was
just saying, that, is that what your edd?

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Nineteen years ago? I can't believe it was nineteen years ago.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Bro Yah September thirtyeth two thousand and six. All right,
we're out of here, Tony and Dwight come in your
way next right here. And he was ready waight forty
wha s
