Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy hump Day.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Thank you for spending your Wednesday morning with us here
at News Ready to eight forty whas coffee and company
with you Kentucky and this morning News. So tomorrow is
the big day, Bourbon and Beyond will get started a
great four days and really it's eight days when you
consider what we get next week with Louder than Life,
and it is awesome to say that right here in Louisville.

(00:21):
This this eight days of live music that we're going
to get is something.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Let me make sure. I'm going to make sure. In Yeah,
it's the.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
It's one of the biggest music festivals in North America,
but I believe the eight days that they have with
these two events makes it to where it's the you know,
for an eight day stretch, there's nothing quite like it
anywhere else, and it's only going to get bigger and
better because of the expansion they've made. So not only
is this going to be at the Highlands Festival Grounds
that it's been in for some years now, but they
are also going to utilize Kentucky Kingdom, and that gives

(00:55):
them a lot more space doubled in size two point
four million square feet that they now have available. One
hundred and ten bands going to be there, and there's
also now a second entrance to get in for easier access,
bigger stages, more shaded areas, and really they've it kind
of seems like each year they've just kind of built
this space into being built for what this event is.

(01:16):
And I could be wrong. I don't know of any
other event that's ever been there, do you, John, I mean,
I kind of feel like the space was.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Created talking about the big field that used to be
in Yeah, I don't think anything. I don't think anything
was used. I don't think I'm worrying this correctly. Yeah,
no one else used that space quite like the way
that they did.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
I don't think that that space has ever been utilized
for anything other than these events. I could be wrong,
and I'll staying corrected if that's the case. But it
works out well because you've got the Exposition Center there
where of course you can you can park a lot
of people, and that is an event based property, and
now they're utilizing Kentucky Kingdom, which is cool. I'm just
trying to get a visual of people who are experiencing

(01:53):
a music festival and of course, you know, having fun
a lot of booze, maybe some other things as well.
That's probably not a shocker to see when it comes
to people experiencing these these these big parties, which is
really what they are. But then going and riding roller
coasters at Kingdom. I know, I know, we probably won't
do this.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Imagine if we did another vibe check including the Kentucky
Kingdom portion of the festival ground.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Don't think I'm already not trying to make that happen.
I mean that's why. I mean, I feel like, you know,
I work for a company named iHeartMedia and me we're
we do a lot of events. We have access to
two tickets and passes because of course, you know, that's
kind of the space that we're in. So maybe if
there's somebody that works here that might want to give
me one, I would really appreciate it, and I'll deliver

(02:38):
good content, or at least I'll try it. I'd be
Actually I'm lying, I won't deliver the good content. It's
the people that are there that make it easy. They're
the ones who deliver good content. But yeah, I uh,
I'm more so looking forward to getting getting too louder
than life than I am burbing to beyond for a
you know, for a chance to interview some people and
and do what I call the vibe check, which is
really man on the street interviews. Because and I was

(02:59):
telling John Shannon this earlier because he'd never seen that.
I showed it to him earlier, John, and I told him,
I don't know if I'll ever top that.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
It's very tough to do.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, And what's crazy is that we were there for
maybe twenty minutes.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
It wasn't.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
It wasn't that we just opened the day that it
opened on a Thursday. We get there and they're just
opening up the gates letting people in. And the amount
of folks that were there and willing to chat with
me on camera and talk about their experience.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
It was.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
It was also just there was a level of judgment
free energy, if that makes sense. Yeah, that, like I
really wasn't expecting. But yeah, you got people there dressed
up in cosplay. You got people they're not really worrying
anything at all, but yet on a Thursday morning, but
everybody that's there, it's just like, Hey, that's what this is,
and we're here.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
To have a good time.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
So yeah, I'm hoping I can get out there next week,
but we shall see if if it doesn't happen, then
I guess it wasn't meant to be. But again, you
can now ride rides at Kentucky Kingdom with your past
to Bourbon and beyond, and I would assume it's the
same thing with louder Than. So yeah, Danny Wimmer recently
signed a ten year deal to keep these festivals in Louisville,
and yeah, that's what it is. It's the largest eight

(04:08):
days of music in the United States because we have
both these two events and they go back, and I
love that they're back to back by the way some
people would say, yeah, you want to space them out
selfishly just knowing we've got two great weeks here in Louisville,
And I think you really are reaching different people, right
like I think you know, there's probably many that have
gone to both and can find a day or an artist.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
There's mainly locals. I feel like that in their way at.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Both and we have enough people here that will support it.
And then the events themselves are big enough to where
you're gonna draw plenty from outside of the local area
to where you're gonna have a big attendance and it
is awesome. I swear I feel like we're gonna get there,
and we're kind of already there to an extent to
where you just realize, like Derby, we just have a

(04:50):
lot of people in Louisville more so visiting than we
typically do, and it's because of big events. Now, I'm
not sure if we'll ever ever trump Derby as far
as just knowing that, you know, all I balls are
on us, especially Derby Day.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
But are they cutting the grass in between the interstates
like they always do?

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, that's maybe we talked to Greenberg next time he's
in here. Hopefully he can understand the humor here, because yes,
that's when you know Derby season is approaching, when they
start mowing the grass in the Medians that hasn't been
touched in months. Oh yeah, that's that ninety seven Chevy
Blazer that's just been sitting off the side of you know,
the Snyder for three months. Let's get that out of here.

(05:25):
We got people coming in town for Derby.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
We want to look good.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
But again I mentioned judgment free with the music festival,
so maybe like they don't care.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
This is who we are. Habit that.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Good stuff, all right, Let's get to a quick time out.
We've got traffic and weather updates on the way. We'll
have Roy O'Neil set to join us at eight thirty five.
We'll talk about the big day it is for Apple.
They've got a lot of new products that they are unveiling,
a new iPhone that's going to be real thin and sleek,
some new air pods that will apparently help you detect
languages that you don't speak, which that sounds awesome. So again,

(05:58):
we got a lot more to get to go anywhere.
Keep it a lock right here on news Radio eight
forty whas you were on your A game today, mister
John Alden.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
With the music I try to bring in every day.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I mean, is it because we've got music festivals coming
to Louisville.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
I think, yeah, maybe you're just are a little more
enhanced musically this week. Good stuff. I like it. I
like it all right.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
So I've got something to share with you that might
make you feel better if you're somebody who binges a
lot of TV, binge watching TV can actually be good
for you. There's a new study that says humans are
storytelling creatures. And I've said this before. There are so
many shows that I've watched that I've really really enjoyed that.
If I didn't have the ability to binge watch in

(06:39):
that format, I had to wait week to week instead.
I don't know if I would have won even watched
them at all, but even if I did, I don't
think I would have enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
The same way.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
So at times it's it's I do miss the old
school way of waiting each week to see a new episode.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Sometimes they still do it.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
My wife's watching a show called The Summer I Turned
Pretty and they only release one episode per week on
a streaming service.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
And that's what makes me realize, Okay, no, I'm spoiled now.
As much as it like the old school, the nostalgia
of waiting to watch it live and not being able
to DVR it, yeah, that quickly loses its luster whenever
I'm like, wait a second, No, I don't want to wait.
I want to watch the next episode now. So according
to a study at the University of Georgia, they suggest
the binge watching TV shows or even binge watch or

(07:23):
binge reading books can improve memory, imagination, and stress relief.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Totally believe that, especially the stress release part.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Oh yeah, binge watching can help viewers better connect storylines
and retain information because episodes are consumed back to back again,
that's it just makes it a different experience.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
And I think, you know again.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
That there's certain shows that week, week to week I
would have been fine with, but others. I mean, I
think my favorite show is if it's because I binge
watched it and it was a constant thing for you know,
sometimes four hours at a time on a weekend or something,
and it, you know, it sticks with you would a
longer experience when I was a kid.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
You know they do, they do one episode of your
favorite show a week, and then they'd leave you with
the cliffhanger, and then you had to wait all summer
for you know, September October to roll around again. But
you knew it was getting close because a few weeks
before the start of the new season they'd start running
last season shows.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
To kind of catch you up.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
Yeah, and so you knew it was coming, and so
you kind of hit it at a run. We got
hooked on my wife and I got hooked on the
binge watching stuff when we were in Germany in the army,
because you know, television is not always easy to come by.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Not everything.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
They've gotten better about it, but there's still a lot
of delay on state side shows. But what I found
I could do is I could download whole seasons on
DVD and then we'd just burn a DVD or two
of say like Supernatural or burn notice one of my
all time favorite shows or n cis. You pick a
show that we liked, and we would watch that season

(08:46):
every night and be like, okay, we watched two or
three episodes every night before we went to bed, and
watch a whole season like in a week.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Now, if you've got a show that you really are
interested in and you know it's right up your alley,
but they're doing week to week, like like hb oh,
will you just wait?

Speaker 1 (09:01):
That's what I do now. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, because there's a show called Task that just came
out on HBO. I think the first episode was Sunday.
It's from the from the creators of Mayor of Eastown,
which I really really liked, and I'm interested. I want
to watch it, but I'm gonna wait just because I
want to be able to watch one episode and know
I can then go to the rest of the season.
That's just the way the last show that I can
think of that despite being able to watch it on

(09:27):
demand or wait, people don't because there's so much attention,
there's so many people talking about it. The two shows
recently that really stand out to me. One is not
so recent at all, but that just speaks to how
long we've been binge watching stuff is breaking bad. But
also Game of Thrones. That was the one that I
have never watched, and you and I were in the
minority because that was one of the most talked about

(09:48):
shows that I don't know anybody that had an opinion
that wasn't a good one when it comes to that show,
other than the ending, but other than that, Like, there
are really popular shows that are week week, but like
I just I think a lot of people they'll they'll wait.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
My problem for a couple of them is that they
the time they come on right now, I can't watch
them because I got to, like, I want to watch
this n CIS origins how Jethrow Gibbs became Leroy Jethrow Gibbs.
But it comes on at ten o'clock and that's when
I'm head and hid into bed for sleepy time because
my alarm goes off at three eight.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
I've quickly learned not to even start something that I
want to watch lake because I will I'll end up
staying up too late and pay for it the next day.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
But yeah, good stuff. All right. Speaking of good stuff,
let's talk about Bob Siccoler.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Look, when it comes to buying and selling a home,
I'm sure there are some of you listening right now
that have gone through that transaction one way or the
other multiple times in your life. And I bet there's
been a time where you hired the wrong agent and
you watched your property sit on the market with little
to no interest until the listing eventually expired. That's that's
the downside of it. But that's why you need to
hire the right agent. And I can tell you if

(10:53):
you've ever worked with Bob Siccoler and the Socola team
at Remax Properties East, you know that you hired the
right folks. I mean, if you've ever been unlucky enough
to work with that wrong agent, as I mentioned, it's
something that sticks with you and it may give you
just a bad impression about those who work in that industry.
But you don't have to worry about that with Bob
Sicoler and his team because they have what's called the
Cecolar difference. Don't assume there's something wrong with your house,

(11:16):
and that's why it's not selling. Bob Sicoler and his
team they'll market the properties to thousands of people, thousands
of buyers every month. They're going to see your property,
they're going to create a demand for your home, and
they've got proven strategies that have worked for a long
long time. These proven strategies have led to countless five
star reviews on Google, and of course a brand name

(11:36):
in the industry, which again that's Bob Sicoler and the
Cecola team at Remax Properties East. Give Bob a call
at FABO two three seven six live. That's Bibo two
three seven six Pop four A three. It's Bob's website.
We sell Louisville dot com. Or it's Google the Ciccolo team,
that's s okay o l E R.

Speaker 6 (11:50):
Right.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
We've got traffic of weather updates on the way, a
sports update as well, right here.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
On Who's Radio eight forty whas.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
All right, we were wrapping things up here on a Wednesday,
more morning, Happy hump day. We'll get out of your
way here in just a moment because the one and
only Tony Venetti and Dwight Whitten will be with you.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
And you got a question for.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
Me, Yeah, I have.

Speaker 6 (12:08):
I'm asking about this story about Eli Manning. Tom Brady
put it on his whenever Twitter or in stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Was on my Space. Maybe I.

Speaker 6 (12:18):
Almost said, uh, it's about the exchange they two had
after each super Bowl, right, and I have this story
that you won't believe, right, and it's strange and awesome
at the same time. And it's just about a few times.
All right, I'm not going to tell the story on
your show. I'm gonna say it on my show.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
You're gonna have to listen to the Tony and Dwight show.
It's called a tease.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
It's fantastic though, now I can't wait.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
It really makes Eli Manning one of the coolest, all right,
so so let's.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Talk about that Eli Manning. I feel like during his
time with the Giants, he was he was three things,
kind of awkward and goofy. He was a meme like
he would have these spacial expressions, nerdy that and then
also he was Peyton's brother. Yeah, and then also he
somehow beat Tom Brady twice in the Super Bowl. Yes,
but now the Manning cast and just commercials. Yes, he's

(13:17):
funnier than Peyton.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Dude.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
The Mannings are geniuses.

Speaker 6 (13:22):
Do you see the Sunday Night football with his kid
and his kid was just like every one of our kids.
When we're talking about great stuff that we did, he's
just rolling his eyes, like dad, stop, man.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
I like I like the commercial that they did for
ESPN where they're touring the studio.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Oh yeah, that's a classic one with with uh the
dad's walking around knucklehead.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
And kicking each other button everything. Yeah, so they have
a gift to really fool us.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
They're not really relatable, but man, they seem like it right,
Like they they're funny, but it's but it's casual humor.

Speaker 6 (13:54):
But understand Peyton Manning. Also, you don't get that Peyton
Manning thing. If you talk to the reporters and Napolis,
because's just up the road, they'll tell you that. Like look,
after the games, when he got home, he called all
of us to control the narrative, right like, hey, man,
here's the inside, here's what really happened, YadA YadA, to
protect the Peyton Manning image and narrative of what happened.

(14:16):
After every single game. That's how obsessed he was, and
those people are are good at it.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, he's somebody that could do that without people after
they hang up the phone realizing that they were what
just happened, right.

Speaker 6 (14:26):
Yes, Yes, And the and the story about the kids
and him hitting them with the football and how the
parents came over and said, I want you to throw
that thing, knock my kid over.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
So I've always been in Peyton Manning super fan because
I'm a Colts fan. He's my favorite football player of
all time. But to see that when he when he
no longer was playing and did SNL and all that,
and that was like, people like, he's a really he's
a hard guy to dislike. I think, oh, there's no question.
I didn't show that. But yes that he's not. I mean, yes,
I mean he's.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
And now we got one playing again, does he think?

Speaker 1 (15:00):
I don't think we'll see it's the play calling.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
He is somebody that I think would be impossible to
truly evaluate because you would see something you'd be like, oh, wow,
that's great, but you're thinking, okay, maybe is it because
he's a Manning?

Speaker 6 (15:12):
Oh yeah, But there's a lot of great quarterbacks and
point guards that are great against East Tennessee State, and
they fold against Ohio State.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
Well, you know a lot of great ones on that one.
All right, we're next with the ELI
