Episode Transcript

(00:12):
All the kids have come home again. Ladies, Gentlemen's time for hailing the
knobs on news radio eight forty whasTerry miners here. I just sent you
and Ian a photo from our onair sign. That's the way it used
to be, and now it saysin use on our studios, which is
stupid because in use and on airI consider two different things. They are

(00:37):
two different things. Ian, wewere talking about this earlier today. I
was going to get my picture madenext to our sign that lights up when
you turn on a mic with myson Simon, and I said, oh,
it says on air, so andthen I went on and say,
oh no, it says in use, in use, stay on air,
didn't it? Yes? Yeah,I think it changes back and forth.
It'll say on air and then backto in use. I don't don't know

(01:00):
why or how it changes, butI think it does now. In use
can just mean. Tony Vanetti's inhere crying on Dwight's shoulder about how you
know, I don't. I don'tfeel like we're playing enough rock and roll
on our show. You know theydo that something right after the or you
You spent a lot of time inthis office before the show starts, getting
your prep done exactly right. That'swhen it's it's in use, but not

(01:22):
on air. I'm wondering if it'sthe semantics of on air since we stream
a lot of people listen over streamingor technically not on the air. Could
that be it? Maybe? Butthat's a bit of a stress. It
sounds like nitpicking. Yeah, butyou know these young hippie freaks that run
this company now, who knows?Who knows what the hippie freaks now have

(01:46):
what we're calling on knows this?The young hippie freaks, we have the
ones that hooked up the whole wiredsystem where we should just have Ian right
here adjacent to us, but theyhad a wire everything and make it more
technically advanced, and it's is ittechnically advances? That was the concept?
Yeah? Right, Yeah, Idon't know if we achieved that because I

(02:06):
was joking with Ashley from WAMZ today. There's some studios we use for the
music stations and every time I walkin it, I'm never sure if it's
gonna work, and half the timeit doesn't. As opposed to when we
were out on Bishop Lane, wewalked into those analog studios and guess what
they did worked every time? Exactlyright. I'm gonna mention Ashley because she

(02:32):
is an impressive person. She's justevery time I pop open Instagram, there
she is with another legend. Right, I woke up this morning, you
know, open Instagram. There's Ashley, our program doctor from WAMZ, next
to Kenny Chesney. She's smart.She remembers, Oh, I should be

(02:52):
taking pictures with these people and promotingthem on the internet. She's good at
that. She told me a storytoday that was like, wait a minute,
what she said? Yeah, KennyChesney. Chesney just called me a
little while ago, meaning earlier today. They were talking last night backstage,
and she said to him, oneof your songs is really doing well and

(03:16):
it's from I think a couple ofyears ago, a few years ago,
but it's still popular around here andit shows up well in iHeartRadio research.
So he played the song. Headded it to the line up last night.
Was that rapp arena? I thinkit was last night. Do we
remember what the song was? It'scalled Knowing You? And so he called

(03:38):
her today and he said, hey, thanks, because I could hear people
actually singing and it's one of thesongs that I thought it might still be
might be obscure by now, Buthe said it's one of those slower songs.
He doesn't play many of those,just one or two on a show.
Now, everything is meant to last. You don't think about that when

(03:59):
it's perfect, when I guess hedidn't do this part, and when it's
over and that's him, there's ahuge hole, but there's also a pair
of wings. I think he wouldprobably have to do the intro to be
a part of it, wouldn't itbring the song? No, you don't
have to do the intro. Youjust start the song. He wouldn't stand
up there, you're flying and they'reshowing sea goals on the video and no,

(04:24):
they've probably skilled the lighthouse knowing you. So anyway, he plays this
last night and people sang along withit, and he thought enough to call
Ashley today and say, hey,thanks for recommending that, right, which
is a cool thing to do.You know, people in that in that
auditory auditorium, but that giant rapparena freaked out when he started playing this.

(04:46):
They're like, he never plays LovingYou, Loving You actual, said
Ashley said that it does well withiHeart research across America. Music research.
That's so interesting to me. Sonow one song, she ga him that
nugget, So now he'll reconsider puttingit back on his playlist. I don't

(05:06):
know that he'll go that far,but I bet every time he comes to
this area he'll it'll be one ofthose songs that you know reaches the playlist.
Because I kind of wonder, sinceshe already said, he added,
I kind of wonder if Kenny Uninety five percent of each show on his
tour is the same and then heslides in a song or two depending on

(05:30):
which city the region would guess,Whereas you know, some artists one hundred
percent of their of their setlist isthe same every night, and then some
artists it the setlist is different everynight, just depends. But with a
big show like him, I meanno, you kind of gotta have it
script scripted out so it matches thevideos and everything like that. Yeah,

(05:53):
that's true, you got all thatwork. I saw him at Churchill Downs
years ago. He was fantastic.He's a great life show bull. That
was hullabaloo. That's right. Itwas one of the headliners at night three
day stretch whatever that was. Soanyway, that's kind of cool. That's
somebody that works in our office.Yeah, Oh, Kenny chesney call me,
how's your day going. Kenny chesneyEd didn't call him me. Well,

(06:15):
I ask her about it. Iwas asking her about the photo right
and the song, and she's justshe's a very humble person. So I
just thought that was cool. That'sa smart artist too, to listen to
the people who know and and touchthose you know, fans of you every
day and hum, maybe I shouldlisten to them. Yeah, good call,

(06:35):
well done. And she said he'slike that. He's just is a
That's not the first time she's chattedhim up at a show and said he
really does pay attention and is kindto the media people who are there because
they play his music. That's whatI love to hear. That's why I
love Taylor Swift. I don't knowanything. I don't know much about Taylor

(06:56):
Swift. I mean, I knowher songs because you can't escape him.
But she sends notes to people,handwritten notes, right, But she meets
and it's like that's pretty good.Spends hours doing me at your level.
I guess, yeah, when you'reflying away, you have time, and
so instead of just taking a napon the plane, you're like, Okay,
well I gotta write twelve notes.No no, no no, and
then somebody else sends. But Imean that's pretty awesome, pretty good.

(07:18):
She's a good person. Love that, Taylor Swift. You're just like people
that remember you know that thoughtful.There's people on working in the world.
They're working hard to earn money togo see you. This fellow Jack Harlow,
why he just lives right down thestreet. Yeah, he's just down
the road. He polls for aphoto in We're either going to call it
Bonniecastle Neighborhood or the Highlands. Technically, I think the Highlands is the overriding

(07:44):
footprints, right, but Bonniecastle Neighborhoodhas called that because of the Bonniecastle Club.
The street with that name a smallersubsection of the Highlands, if you
will. Jack Harlow has got anew album coming out on Friday. He
let everybody know today on Twitter andhe posted the cover photo where he is
shirtless standing in an alley here inLouisville. You see the garbage cans with

(08:07):
Louisville seal on him. See youknow where he is, and then everybody,
all the sleuths, the media,we went online to go where he
is because I said, it lookslike Germantown, It's like where I grew
up. And it turns out itisn't that Bonnycastle neighborhood between Richmond Drive and
al Fresco Place. The alleyway thatgoes through there. Interesting that it's al

(08:30):
Fresco Place and he's posing shirtless thereyou go. Interesting. So do we
think that this album will be aboutLouisville as much as the last one was?
It had a lot of local touchesin the last one. I think
that's his thing. I think that'swhy people love him so much, is
because he's so connected to this communityand he has so much love for Louisville.

(08:50):
I think he's going to continue showingthat love and appreciation, and now
this is just another example of it. He's been everywhere he could use anything
for an album called and he chosea little alley way of Louisville. So
I think he's definitely going to continuethat. But he's popular everywhere. One
of my friends was in another countryand said that he was there were posters
of whatever it was promoting his concertand he said they were going nuts over

(09:13):
that. So he's he's a bigLouisville zone. Are you saying he's a
super I've said that from the fromthe very beginning, the topic came up,
but Miles refuses to acknowledge that.We'll see if he becomes a superstar
after this album. What happens tothe people who live adjacent to this photo
spot in this alley? How longwill their lives be ruined with people going

(09:35):
to take their pictures here. It'salready being ruined. Yeah, at least
once a week, they're going tohave trouble getting in their own garage or
driveway just because there's going to bepeople back there standing in the street because
people park here. It's you cansee, even if you don't use your
garage, a lot of people justuse them for storage, you know,
their big old summer cinder block.But there's like cut ins between the garages

(09:58):
where people stick their car in there. And it's now this alley looks like
it's one of the tight ones whereit's hard for two cars to pass.
So when somebody starts coming to theother direction, you gotta find a nook
or cranny as stuff stuffed your carand so they can get buy or back
a mile out back to the mainroad. That's the one thing about this.

(10:18):
I mean, this is not theBeatles walking across what is an abbey
road or yeah, it's not goingto be like that. But this is
going to carry a little fire fora while. I would say so because
people come to this town and saywhere did Jack days? Thank me there?
Where are you? Yeah? Yeah, I would guarantee you every day
there's going to be at least oneset of people that show up and they

(10:41):
have to do the post arms,crossed shirts off in front of the basketball
hoop in the alley way. Ijust hope nothing happens to the hoop.
Please, no idiot tear down thehoop or the neighborhood. You can take
yourselfie, but leave them. There'sgarbage cans there in the photo, so
please, if you're gonna, ifyou have some drink in your hand or
something, rapper, yeah, justput it in the can. I hate

(11:03):
that we even have to say that. You do for some people. I
know. I saw somebody throw acigarette pack out of a vehicle window,
like the pack. Yes, theydrew the out the last cigarette I guess
and just threw the pack out,and I just thought, what is wrong?
But nowadays you gets shot doing that. You say something to somebody,
right because I've done that before,but that was long ago. Now you're

(11:26):
just like, well, could bea nut. M It's probably is a
nut. But it's like, whowould ever think that's a good idea?
I'm just here, Why don't Ijust throw this cigarette pack out the window
like it's discussed? Has no effort. And people that are at the Kroger
parking lot and take their asstray andthen dump it all on the ground right

(11:48):
there. And here's what they'll sayto you. They hamp people and wait,
I'm helping somebody staying ploy there.Yeah, clean up the parking night
in it. That's why I leftmy cart. Get shitting right here year
because they got people get paid topush it back in. Leave me alone.
Those people are really fun at parties. They're out there though, like

(12:09):
you know, it's just me inthis world. Why don't us throw garbage
all over it and see what happens? So anyway, keep our alley clean,
clease, keep our whole city clean. That would be great. There's
a there's a trash abatement situation goingon now where you actually get paid for
turning in garbage. The mayor releasingthat information yesterday. But just a reminder

(12:30):
here this. I think this alleywayin the Bunnycastle neighborhood's going to get immensely
popular for a while. So getready for you. All right, we'll
step aside. There's Harlow for youas we go to break. It's Haley
in the Knobs on news radio fortywhass workers make received you could do it

If you support Trump, you're abigot, just claim it. What I
need a drink of water. Ican't believe he said that that was a
twenty nineteen Oh my god, howcontroversial? Can we all take withstand this

of terrorism. I don't want tosee your gay country behind Come through these
doors, dare you? Mister laureate? Three three red lights? All right,
we come back. We will tryto discern We'll use Hayley's great filter

(16:36):
to determine whether Aaron Rodgers is lyingand some of the things he said to
the Jets fan base in Management todayNew York City. On the way God
watch me burn let the way ithurts, Oh love, she performed at

(17:04):
the most recent Super Bowl. Hayley, do you know there are some teams
that have never won a Super Bowl? That's impossible. You're gonna take some
guesses. Oh boy, you knowI love my sports sports bawl the Vikings.
That's good, Lizzo mentions, that'swhy you know that she loved the

(17:25):
Vikings. What about the biggest cityin Georgia, Oh, Atlanta, Atlanta
has never won? What about thebiggest city in Michigan, Detroit? The
Detroit Lions have never won. Theseare a lot of teams that have been
around a long time. Another onethat's that's one of the earliest teams in
the NFL is the Cleveland Browns.How was it they've never won? They've

(17:48):
always been bad, though, haven'tthey? Isn't that kind of like their
thing? Well, I mean theywere good for a little what little while
when they had Jim Brown. JBrown that was fifty years ago. They
didn't win that. Jim Brown consideredthe greatest NFL player of all time,
not Aaron Rodgers. All some peoplewould try to have you believe. I'm
not anybody's trying to have you believehe's the greatest player of all time.

(18:11):
He's tin he wants to convince youof it. No, Aaron Rodgers is
now a New York Jet. Anotherteam. That's one one. Okay,
there was a famous guy who worewhite shoes, but it was fifty four
years ago, and you don't followthe sports ball. His first she might
have followed his career of trying tokiss TV reporter Suzie Colbert. Oh good

(18:36):
sideline. That was another sexual predatorthat we praise. How wonderful Joe name
Oh cool yay. He was thecool, brash quarterback out of Alabama.
He wore a mink coat and hewas he was mister like you know,
New York City. They just lovedhim because he's young and loud and brash,

(18:57):
and he guarantee they would win theSuper Bowl. And they did,
and they did, but then neverwanted again. That was Super Bowl three.
It was a long time ago,oh boy, And this year was
what did fifty something. Yeah,yeah, so it has been over a
half century since they won. Butthey have a new quarterback. His name
is Aaron Rodgers. I want youto listen to him. He appeared in

(19:18):
front of the management of the Jetstoday and the media of course, to
talk about how he feels about hisposition. Remember he'll be forty years old
in December, right, Okay,he's still a talented guy, but he's
not thirty. Well, sure,yeah, I'm here because I believe this.
I believe in this team. Ibelieve in Cosala, I believe in
the direction Joe Douglas. Obviously,he's drafted really well the last couple of

(19:41):
years, having offensive and defensive Rookieof the Year. But big thanks to
the Jets organization. Obviously, abig thanks to the Green Bay Pack organization
for an incredible run. That chapteris over now, and I'm excited about
the new adventure here in New York. He's got to be excited about it.

(20:02):
So that's all Sincere, Right,No, you think that's Sincere?
I don't know does. He sayshe believes in the team right here,
because I believe this. I believein this team. I believe in com
Yeah. I don't. I don't. I don't know if he believes in
it. No, yeah, youjust named three things you believe in.
I believe in dogs. I believein cookies. Cookies, I believe horses.
I believe in this team. Ibelieve in this team that we can

(20:22):
win forty percent of our games.All right, let's move to THEE.
What's next. Here is Aaron Rodgersin New York today. I believe he
was going to happen. The entiretime. All this is about whether or
not he would get traded. Ofcourse he knew, he had to have
known, well, he had tothink it was going to happen, but
he had to wish because they didn'thave to let him go. Here's more,
I think waiting each other out.My intention coming out of the darkness

(20:48):
was to pursue this opportunity, andI enjoy the meeting with you know,
Woody and Christopher came out, thesetwo guys hack, I'm a and I
just got a great feel with allthose guys about the possibility. And as
I leaned into it, getting backinto some more strenuous workouts, I just
really believe that this was where Iwas supposed to be, not a chance,

(21:12):
he would have said the same exactthing anywhere. He would have gone
to San Francisco, somewhere else.All right, what else you got,
Rogers? Right now, I'm justgoing to focus on this season, and
I'm excited about being here. Iexpect to be here for the duration of
the offseason, and I'm excited toget to know my new teammates and the
coaching staff and the organization and makessense. And obviously I have a background

(21:34):
with coach Hackett in that offense,but oh, are you going to be
here? I'm excited about just divingin and being a part of this group
and getting to know some of thenames of my teammates. And also I'm
excited about working with all you guys. I've heard a lot about the New
York media, and I'm just goingto focus on this season. He's not
excited about working with a New Yorkmedia. He's just focused on this season,

(21:56):
Terry, he's too sensitive for theNew York job. They're gonna they're
terrorists with the way they get rightin your face and they yell questions and
they don't let you off the hook. Right. Those New Yorkers can be
intense. Is that what our poetlaureate meant about the Church of Terror.
New York media guy sportswriter in NewYork and Aaron Rodgers actually made fun of

(22:21):
them, talking about how lonely they'reSuper Bowl their lone super Bowl trophy looks
in the case. That's an excitingdraw to this as well as being m
parts something special. I grew upwatching old VHS tapes of the Super Bowls,
and so obviously I know about theGuarantee and Broadway Joe's been a while
since then. I noticed walking inthis morning that that Super Bowl three trophies

(22:45):
looking little lonely. So he watchedVHS tapes of the earlier Super Bowls when
he was a kid, he says, when he was a kid, they
were playing without a crossbar on theirhelmets. I and it was a long
time ago. Yeah, I picturethis is his dad forcing him to watch
the tapes of the Super Bowl,like, come on, you have to
watch the defense on the nineteen fiftyseven. Boy, there's no way that

(23:10):
he wanted it's our boy, AaronRodgers going to succeed in New York or
is he too much of a dopesmoking hippie freak to take the pounding from
the New York media and fan base. I think he snipped a little too
much pot. Yeah, probably,And I don't want to be a Don
Lemon. But he's forty, Hello, Don, That's that's got to be

(23:33):
hard for anyone's body in football years. That's eighty Yeah, regular might as
well be. So we'll see howit plays out here. But that's Aaron
Rodgers earlier today. He's a jet. He's pretty monotone for being excited.
I mean, he's gonna show themthat he's still got it. We'll see
how it works out. The schedulethat gets released pretty soon, doesn't an

(23:53):
inn or is that later? Andit'll be after the draft here? Okay,
drafts tomorrow night. The big stuffis whether or not will Levis goes
first. The Las Vegas betting thinksthat he might be first. Chancel.
They lower the odds from forty toone to four to one. That's a
big drop. Could be will Levistomorrow night number one in the NFL draft.

(24:17):
So that would be a heck ofa jump from where he was a
month ago, where people are saying, hey, can't play the game.
I'll tell you what if you ifyou brought the whole Jets roster forward.
I would take Will Levis over AaronRodgers. I would. I'm a friend.
I think he's too fragile. Ithink he's gonna get an ankle popped
or something in at We'll see howit goes back to wrap up in a
minute, it's haling the knobs onnews radio. Wee forty whchance tomorrow on

(24:41):
the show. A TikTok influencer whocan't understand why people don't want to be
videotape when she's trying to pay fortheir groceries. What would be your reaction
somebody steps up, let me payfor this while they're filming you to put
on their TikTok, I'd freak out, why are you filming me? Get
away from me? You're exploiting people, right so that you can make yourself

(25:03):
look better and feel better. Clearlyanyway, she kind of loses it after
people reject her from loving attention.It's also tomorrow Skip Bayliss and Shannon Sharp
dissing UK who actually dissing John Calipari. A lot of cat fans have you
seen that? Ian? I haven'tseen that yet. A lot I'm looking
forward to it a lot of alot of Cat fans are upset about.

(25:26):
Here's the first of it. CanTuck, you got to be ashamed of
himself. Autumn playoff, the decayhad come. I called Anthony Tals and
Jamal Murray and Booker and Van everyweek, and y'all they got but one
title, that's Shannon Sharp. Itgets worse. I think there's some fans
that might believe that we're back tomorrow. Good Night.
