Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is eight oh five here on Halloween morning. That's right,
a Halloween edition of Coffee and Company, and we are
fueled by Thornton's. And what a busy morning it has been.
I cannot believe we've already got three hours in the books,
one more to go, and again, Happy Halloween to everybody.
So the government shutdown is now at thirty days, which
if you've been able to kind of avoid the issue
(00:20):
at all, meaning it hasn't impacted you directly, and you're
not even really aware of it going on at times,
just because you're in your own bubble. And when I
say that, I don't mean that that's a bad thing.
In fact, sometimes I wish I could do that. But
it's going to be harder for folks to not realize
that we are at a government shutdown that has lasted
thirty days, and it's going to have lingering effects, and
(00:41):
the longer that it lasts, the more these effects are
going to be felt. So if you want to donate money,
food resources to those that will run out of those
resources they've depended upon for so long, we'll continue to
keep you updated this morning on how you can do that.
There's a lot of ways you can give back and
again we'll talk about that coming u prety shortly. But
we're now joined by a friend, doctor Eric McElroy. Pro
re have physical therapy. How we doing, air Cappy Friday?
(01:02):
Happy Halloween, my friend.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Happy Halloween. I'm doing great. Uh, looking forward to tonight
and you know, accumulating more candy than we'll ever eat. Uh,
but it'll be a lot of fun. That's right.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
You know all about the Dad tax, right, this is
our way of teaching our kids that, hey, uncle Sam's
a real thing. We got to pay it every year.
You don't know about it, but we pay taxes, and
you will pay a tax tonight with some of that candy.
It's just it's it's it's just how it works.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Absolutely, and we'll take your favorite.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
That's right. That's right. You know, that's just how it works.
And uh. And and one day, when you get older,
you'll understand and you will uh, you'll do the same thing.
So once once we once the candy is gone, and
and and folks, I guess gets set for Thanksgiving and
the colder weather gets even colder. We've got a lot
of folks I'm sure that are going to think, Okay,
I'm not out and about doing stuff. I gotta get
(01:51):
back in the gym. And when we talk about the
rest and recovery importance when it comes to folks that
have everyday lives but also want to stay active, want
to stay healthy. Uh, what general advice would you give
to those that maybe haven't been to a gym but realize, hey,
I'm gonna have to make myself get there because if not,
I'll just bundle up and hibernate and and you know,
get unhealthy. What would be some general advice as far
(02:13):
as just things people should be mindful of as they
get back at it and try to stay in shape.
But of course maybe now doing it indoors instead of outdoors.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Absolutely well, I think now is the time to start
thinking about that and planning for it if they haven't already.
I mean, you know, everybody waits for the first of
the year and get it. You know, this next month
or two extremely busy a lot of times, especially when
you have kids, family coming into that town. But getting
on a schedule and doing that now, the sooner we
schedule it and make it part of our day, the
(02:42):
more consistent we're gonna be with it. And that's the
biggest advice we get don't make it over complicated. Don't
try to schedule two hours of exercise time. That's not realistic.
Look at yourself, be realistic, say hey, what can I
you know, commit to and schedule it and then that
become non negotiable time and and you know, and it's
it's you know, easy to get distracted or make excuses
(03:04):
or put things in that place where you have to
take care of yourself and if you have it scheduled.
And the other thing is it doesn't have to be perfect.
You know, fifteen minutes of something, you know, those things accumulate,
you know, going for walks, being intentional, you know, those
are things that we encourage people to do. You know,
it doesn't always have to seem like it's wearing you down,
(03:26):
you know, making you sweat a ton and things like that.
It can be simple stuff calistonics, body weight squats, sit ups, whatever,
push ups, you know, keep it simple so it's consistent,
and then you know, progress or add or whatever. As
you know, the hectic season kind of winds down.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So another thing we've talked about over the years when
we bring doctor McElroy on for pro you have physical
therapy is injuries in sports, Athletic injuries and Louisville basketball
as well as Kentucky basketball, by the way, or dealing
with injuries before the season has actually started. Case in
Pryor's returned to Louisville was a big deal for Pat Kelsey. Obviously,
he's a nice piece to have, but he's coming off
of an acl tair that kept him out of action
(04:06):
for about ninety five percent of last season. And I've
seen him in workouts, I've seen him in warm ups.
Visually he looks okay, but that doesn't always mean that
you've got the green light to play. Pat Kelsey did
recently confirm that he will miss the season opener this
upcoming week. Of course, it certainly could be maybe precautionary,
because they shouldn't need case and to beat the opponent
they've got to open the season. But when you hear that,
(04:27):
I mean when an athlete maybe in the final stages
of getting the green light to return to play after
that kind of an injury, what's kind of the day
to day What are some things that folks in your
profession are really focusing on to see if in fact
these athletes are ready to get back at it.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Absolutely, This is what you know, all the cards. Fans
need to be patient. He may not come back as
soon as they anticipate. You know, he's going through what's
called the return to play protocol. So basically, you have
returned to practice, you have returned to play, and then
you have returned to performance. Those are all different is
so return to performance would be he's playing at the
level he was used to playing prior to the injury.
(05:05):
So there's a lot that goes into that conditioning. Is
his form back is? You know, that's all part of
the rehab process because you know, our job is to
make sure that they are performing in all aspects of
the game at the level they were. That's you know,
that's where your end goal should be. So he's in
that phase right now. There's variability there. It all depends
(05:26):
on how he's responding in practice. What does he look like,
how's he able to you know, move, how's he able
to shoot, How's he able to shoot for different spots
on the court. You know, can he take contact? You know,
that's the last thing that they're going to integrate in
is having somebody defend him, having somebody defend him in traffic.
You know, those are all things that go is this
conditioning level up to where it needs to be yet,
(05:47):
So you know you've heard in baseball, you know, rehab
starts it's a similar thing. Are they going to start
integrating him in for minutes making sure that you know,
because when he fatigues is when he's the most exposed
to re injury or injuring something else. So he's going
through a game and a test, he's going through a
lot of things in practice, and then you know he'll
start being integrated in the games. That timetable is week
(06:10):
to week. It all depends on how he's looking with
his testing, which is you know, more objective things that
they're going to do, and then how he's looking, you
know in practice, you know from what the medical staff,
the rehab staff, and then the coaches are all seeing.
And then you know, gradually starting to work him in
so he's he's safe at the same time he can perform,
(06:32):
uh and so you know, and then there's the mental part,
you know what I mean, he's gonna come at this
with you know, some quote unquote PTSD and you know,
you've got to make sure that you're the athlete is
mentally prepared UH and able to go out and and
perform without any worries or concerned.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Doctor Eric mclroy Protorio Physical Therapy is our guest joining
us here on news radio eight forty w h as
what More for You. Last night, Lamar Jackson made his
return after dealing with a hamstring injury kept him out
for four games, and one of the things I noticed
during the coverage of his absence was that he was
the one who was mindful of where he was in
the injury and recovery process to where he decided to
(07:10):
kind of pull himself out, which a lot of athletes
probably wouldn't do, would have a tough time to do.
But you know, he he knew his body, He's been
through injuries before. In your profession, what's your reaction to that?
I mean, is this sort of a thing Maybe maybe
folks like you would would say, hey, other more athletes
should do this and realize, Hey, if you've got doubts
that maybe you're not ready, trust that and get you know,
get back into making sure you're ready to go. I
(07:32):
thought it was pretty mature of Lamar to know his
team needed him, but also know that he's going to
be able to help them long term once he's fully
ready to go, and last night he certainly looked ready
to go.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Absolutely. I think an athlete that understands the risk reward,
you know, I wish that he would go. And and
you send a message to all the high school athletes
spit around the country that we you know, constantly are like,
you know, time is good. You know, there's different times
for that, right like play off. I mean, we try
to push the envelope. We want to get him back,
but and that's our job. It's to find that balance
(08:03):
of you know, making sure that they're on a time
for him to get back soon, because that's the expectation.
But at the same time, you know, if you get
back get them back too early, then you could extend
the injury out for he could have been out three
or four more games, and you know, we definitely don't
want that. The risk reward has to make sense. And
so I think it's great that he his awareness. It
(08:24):
makes our job easier. And then at the same time,
it's our job to also build the confidence in him
to say, hey, you can push, uh, it is time,
you are there, you are comfortable, and and so that's
you know, it's it goes back and forth, but yeah,
I think it's awesome when they have that self awareness.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, and I just think it's it's it's always going
to be. I think just human nature to try to
challenge yourself and push because you want to fight for
your team. But again, there is you know, it's weird
to say, but there is a benefit to having gone
through recovery before as a pro athlete because you understand
more about your body. I'm sure there's been some trial
and error as far as decisions you've made. So yeah,
(09:01):
he was a good a good testament to that last night.
But Eric is always we appreciate your time and it
was great to catch up with you, my friend. Enjoy
Halloween and again remember to take that dad tax tonight
for the kids.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Absolutely, you do the same nick good stuff that.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Is Eric mcworth, Eric McRae from pro pro re have
physical therapy. Always appreciate his time. Yeah, yeah, Lamar, I'll
tell you what last night, he was right back to
his old ways. Not that he ever hasn't been a
really successful quarterback at a high level, but this season
got off to a rough start. That Buffalo game, you
watched it, John they looked like they were going to
(09:33):
run through the NFL for a ninety percent of the
game until it's until late they crumbled, and then they've
really been a mess ever since. Lamar has been out
for a good chunk of that, but he returned last
night and just what the doctor ordered, Lamar getting his
feet underneath them coming off of injury, and you playing
a team that is really, really in a bad way,
the Miami Dolphins, who Mike McDaniel got to think his
days are numbered there in Miami. All right, we've got
(09:54):
trafficking weather updates on the way, sports as well right
here at News Radio eight forty Whas we were wrapping
it up, putting the finishing touches on a Halloween edition
of Kentucky and This Morning News, it is Coffee and Company,
and we are fueled by Thornton's It's gone bootifully today.
It has gone beautifully today. Very well done. That shit,
how hard you been sitting back waiting to get no pos.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I just thought of that as soon as I was
listening to the song. It just it just was one
of those off the cuff things.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well you well done, and uh, I can't believe that
this show has gone by as fast as it's been very,
very busy. Let me give you a quick rundown, mister Venette,
who's with us here in studio.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The government shut down clearly now going to start being
something that it's almost unavoidable to notice that it's going on. Also,
I did talk about you. I visualized you getting dunked
on by Mayor Greenberg. Do you want to hear why?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Why?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Because you thought, well that give from from young that's
a nice little goodbye president. Is they're going to leave,
they're going down and then Greenberg dunking on you yesterday
five and fifty jobs and down to Louisville.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
That is huge, that's my lead, because it is huge.
The cafes and the restaurants and everybody down here where
we broadcast have been closing because it's just not the
same number of people that are going in to these places.
Five hundred and fifty people to feed and park and
all that is going to be huge for downtown. It
was a shot in the arm.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
There's no doubt there have been Pizza or Papa John's
places like that. There have been other places that have
either just shut down or taken their corporate offices elsewhere,
and that's certainly a negative, but this is big as
far as young still not only sticking around, but having
this many people downtown.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
People realize how big Texas Roadhouse has become. And that's
a Louisville company again, Texas Roahouse. Most people outside of
here wouldn't know that. But I now realize how much
it benefits the city to have big employers that want
to make this home. And there's just no scenario where
it is not a win all the way around for
this community.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Well, it's strange because they actually are moving to a
safer neighborhood. Were over in Newburgh, oh, Newburg, Newburg, they're
parts of Newburgh. It could be a de Milo triazone. Okay,
it's a very we worked over there for twenty five years. Yeah,
oh absolutely, we worked over there for twenty five years.
So I know definitely, and the numbers will back me up.
(12:15):
So the actually movie safer neighborhood downtown.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And each each time that I'm out and about downtown,
which isn't often, but if I go to lunch, maybe
meet my mom for lunch, she works downtown, or maybe
we're out here for the weekend. I see that we've
we've got more life each time in downtown Louisville. And this,
this is only this is only going to help. I think,
right before everything shut down and COVID happened, and of
course the Breonna Taylor stuff and the protesting riots, whatever
(12:39):
you want to call it, I think downtown was in
a great spot and now we're slowly hopefully getting back
to where it was.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
They need to make it more affordable for the kids
that are just getting out of college. I get affordable housing,
which is again I don't even know what that means,
but it doesn't include you know, the couples, Like there's
a couple that just got married here that they live
in Germany. Why because Germantown is the hip you know,
twenty six year old making some money for the first
you know, really good money, and they live in this
(13:07):
little niche Germantown area. That's the group that needs to
get you know, these congos and stuff are just too expensive.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, those who are starting that chapter of their life
out of college. Maybe they've had a good internship under
their belt and they want to start a career in
a field that a place like young would hire or
a place like ge Yeah, yeah, what would what makes
sense for them as far as the starting salary, you're right,
I mean if you because they would want to have lived
downtown Louisville if they're new here. But it's also not
(13:34):
as easy to do. And you've brought up a.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Good point before, Tony on this subject.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
We've talked to them.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I do I do that often.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Is we need to bring back the starter houses?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yes, yes, but the houses that were built after the
Second World War, two or three bedrooms, you know, a kitchen, whatever,
and you can do a larger kitchen, but something that
makes sense. But you're not going to do that because
home builders want to make the money off the big mansions.
So it's going to be tough. And cars, I mean cars,
because of regulation. You will never make a Crown Victory
(14:06):
Crown vic again, that is a good solid car. You
won't do that because regulations have forced so many things.
You have to have this, you have to have this,
you have to have this, hence fifty one thousand dollars
average price.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
All right, we're out of time.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
We're solving every damn problem in a five minute second.
We were productive here, Come.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
On out, so am I going to spoil something by
mentioning what you have over here to the left.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Oh, I brought Dwight's Halloween outfit and he brought mine.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Tony's dressing up this to white Dwight dressing up us?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Tony, why why just bring in like a speedo?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Uh, you're in trouble too, you know what? Don't mind
what's up?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
All right?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Tony and d Wide are next. Happy Halloween, everybody,
It is eight oh five here on Halloween morning. That's right,
a Halloween edition of Coffee and Company, and we are
fueled by Thornton's. And what a busy morning it has been.
I cannot believe we've already got three hours in the books,
one more to go, and again, Happy Halloween to everybody.
So the government shutdown is now at thirty days, which
if you've been able to kind of avoid the issue
(00:20):
at all, meaning it hasn't impacted you directly, and you're
not even really aware of it going on at times,
just because you're in your own bubble. And when I

In fact, sometimes I wish I could do that. But
it's going to be harder for folks to not realize
that we are at a government shutdown that has lasted
thirty days, and it's going to have lingering effects, and
(00:41):
the longer that it lasts, the more these effects are
going to be felt. So if you want to donate money,
food resources to those that will run out of those
resources they've depended upon for so long, we'll continue to
keep you updated this morning on how you can do that.
There's a lot of ways you can give back and
again we'll talk about that coming u prety shortly. But
we're now joined by a friend, doctor Eric McElroy. Pro
re have physical therapy. How we doing, air Cappy Friday?
(01:02):
Happy Halloween, my friend.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Happy Halloween. I'm doing great. Uh, looking forward to tonight
and you know, accumulating more candy than we'll ever eat. Uh,
but it'll be a lot of fun. That's right.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
You know all about the Dad tax, right, this is
our way of teaching our kids that, hey, uncle Sam's
a real thing. We got to pay it every year.
You don't know about it, but we pay taxes, and
you will pay a tax tonight with some of that candy.
It's just it's it's it's just how it works.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Absolutely, and we'll take your favorite.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
That's right. That's right. You know, that's just how it works.
And uh. And and one day, when you get older,
you'll understand and you will uh, you'll do the same thing.
So once once we once the candy is gone, and
and and folks, I guess gets set for Thanksgiving and
the colder weather gets even colder. We've got a lot

Absolutely. I think an athlete that understands the risk reward,
you know, I wish that he would go. And and
you send a message to all the high school athletes
spit around the country that we you know, constantly are like,
you know, time is good. You know, there's different times
for that, right like play off. I mean, we try
to push the envelope. We want to get him back,
but and that's our job. It's to find that balance
(08:03):
of you know, making sure that they're on a time
for him to get back soon, because that's the expectation.
But at the same time, you know, if you get
back get them back too early, then you could extend
the injury out for he could have been out three
or four more games, and you know, we definitely don't
want that. The risk reward has to make sense. And
so I think it's great that he his awareness. It
(08:24):
makes our job easier. And then at the same time,
it's our job to also build the confidence in him
to say, hey, you can push, uh, it is time,
you are there, you are comfortable, and and so that's
you know, it's it goes back and forth, but yeah,
I think it's awesome when they have that self awareness.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, and I just think it's it's it's always going
to be. I think just human nature to try to
challenge yourself and push because you want to fight for
your team. But again, there is you know, it's weird
to say, but there is a benefit to having gone
through recovery before as a pro athlete because you understand
more about your body. I'm sure there's been some trial
and error as far as decisions you've made. So yeah,
(09:01):
he was a good a good testament to that last night.
But Eric is always we appreciate your time and it
was great to catch up with you, my friend. Enjoy
Halloween and again remember to take that dad tax tonight
for the kids.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Absolutely, you do the same nick good stuff that.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Is Eric mcworth, Eric McRae from pro pro re have
physical therapy. Always appreciate his time. Yeah, yeah, Lamar, I'll
tell you what last night, he was right back to
his old ways. Not that he ever hasn't been a
really successful quarterback at a high level, but this season
got off to a rough start. That Buffalo game, you
watched it, John they looked like they were going to
(09:33):
run through the NFL for a ninety percent of the
game until it's until late they crumbled, and then they've
really been a mess ever since. Lamar has been out
for a good chunk of that, but he returned last
night and just what the doctor ordered, Lamar getting his
feet underneath them coming off of injury, and you playing
a team that is really, really in a bad way,
the Miami Dolphins, who Mike McDaniel got to think his
days are numbered there in Miami. All right, we've got
(09:54):
trafficking weather updates on the way, sports as well right
here at News Radio eight forty Whas we were wrapping
it up, putting the finishing touches on a Halloween edition
of Kentucky and This Morning News, it is Coffee and Company,
and we are fueled by Thornton's It's gone bootifully today.
It has gone beautifully today. Very well done. That shit,
how hard you been sitting back waiting to get no pos.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I just thought of that as soon as I was
listening to the song. It just it just was one
of those off the cuff things.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well you well done, and uh, I can't believe that
this show has gone by as fast as it's been very,
very busy. Let me give you a quick rundown, mister Venette,
who's with us here in studio.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The government shut down clearly now going to start being
something that it's almost unavoidable to notice that it's going on. Also,
I did talk about you. I visualized you getting dunked
on by Mayor Greenberg. Do you want to hear why?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Why?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Because you thought, well that give from from young that's
a nice little goodbye president. Is they're going to leave,
they're going down and then Greenberg dunking on you yesterday
five and fifty jobs and down to Louisville.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
That is huge, that's my lead, because it is huge.
The cafes and the restaurants and everybody down here where
we broadcast have been closing because it's just not the
same number of people that are going in to these places.
Five hundred and fifty people to feed and park and
all that is going to be huge for downtown. It
was a shot in the arm.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
There's no doubt there have been Pizza or Papa John's
places like that. There have been other places that have
either just shut down or taken their corporate offices elsewhere,
and that's certainly a negative, but this is big as
far as young still not only sticking around, but having
this many people downtown.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
People realize how big Texas Roadhouse has become. And that's
a Louisville company again, Texas Roahouse. Most people outside of
here wouldn't know that. But I now realize how much
it benefits the city to have big employers that want
to make this home. And there's just no scenario where
it is not a win all the way around for
this community.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Well, it's strange because they actually are moving to a
safer neighborhood. Were over in Newburgh, oh, Newburg, Newburg, they're
parts of Newburgh. It could be a de Milo triazone. Okay,
it's a very we worked over there for twenty five years. Yeah,
oh absolutely, we worked over there for twenty five years.
So I know definitely, and the numbers will back me up.
(12:15):
So the actually movie safer neighborhood downtown.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And each each time that I'm out and about downtown,
which isn't often, but if I go to lunch, maybe
meet my mom for lunch, she works downtown, or maybe
we're out here for the weekend. I see that we've
we've got more life each time in downtown Louisville. And this,
this is only this is only going to help. I think,
right before everything shut down and COVID happened, and of
course the Breonna Taylor stuff and the protesting riots, whatever
(12:39):
you want to call it, I think downtown was in
a great spot and now we're slowly hopefully getting back
to where it was.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
They need to make it more affordable for the kids
that are just getting out of college. I get affordable housing,
which is again I don't even know what that means,
but it doesn't include you know, the couples, Like there's
a couple that just got married here that they live
in Germany. Why because Germantown is the hip you know,
twenty six year old making some money for the first
you know, really good money, and they live in this
(13:07):
little niche Germantown area. That's the group that needs to
get you know, these congos and stuff are just too expensive.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, those who are starting that chapter of their life
out of college. Maybe they've had a good internship under
their belt and they want to start a career in
a field that a place like young would hire or
a place like ge Yeah, yeah, what would what makes
sense for them as far as the starting salary, you're right,
I mean if you because they would want to have lived
downtown Louisville if they're new here. But it's also not
(13:34):
as easy to do. And you've brought up a.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Good point before, Tony on this subject.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
We've talked to them.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I do I do that often.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Is we need to bring back the starter houses?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yes, yes, but the houses that were built after the
Second World War, two or three bedrooms, you know, a kitchen, whatever,
and you can do a larger kitchen, but something that
makes sense. But you're not going to do that because
home builders want to make the money off the big mansions.
So it's going to be tough. And cars, I mean cars,
because of regulation. You will never make a Crown Victory
(14:06):
Crown vic again, that is a good solid car. You
won't do that because regulations have forced so many things.
You have to have this, you have to have this,
you have to have this, hence fifty one thousand dollars
average price.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
All right, we're out of time.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
We're solving every damn problem in a five minute second.
We were productive here, Come.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
On out, so am I going to spoil something by
mentioning what you have over here to the left.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Oh, I brought Dwight's Halloween outfit and he brought mine.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Tony's dressing up this to white Dwight dressing up us?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Tony, why why just bring in like a speedo?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Uh, you're in trouble too, you know what? Don't mind
what's up?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
All right?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Tony and d Wide are next. Happy Halloween, everybody,
