I'm good.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Are you getting ready for the holidays?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Getting ready for Halloween? And it's our twenty sixth anniversary
on Halloween.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I was going to say, you got married on Halloween.
I like it already. You just went from here to
here to.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Get married on the thirtieth.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Just in case somebody turned into whatever on Halloween. You
would know before, all right, So let's jump into it.
We got a lot last weekend. I was out at
Bowman Fest for Bowmen Field. That is an event. I
think that we underplay on how cool that place is
and the heritage and the history of Bowmen Field. Minus
the jet coming off the Yes, nobody was seriously injureds
(01:17):
but the passion of people that that that work out
there is amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
It totally is you know. We it is a great
historic airport to have. It's very important for our local economy.
I know there are a lot of people that they
teach kids how to fly out there, a lot of
people who fly recreationally but also commercially go out there
there as well. The buildings are absolutely beautiful, restaurants, asset
to have in the community, you know, having events like
(01:45):
like they had we had. We also had an event
out there a few weeks ago one of my Mayor
FN Race series. We actually closed the runway down for
an hour in the morning and we have raced the
runway where we had a thousand people that literally ran
a five k on the runway. Really unique experience.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
No, that's fun, and that's harder. I found out. That's
harder than you think because that place is busier than
you understand. How many planes are landing and taking her
off from there. But I'll also in what you mentioned
was when we talked to Pat that works works out
there and whatever, and he crawled over the fence when
he was five and he never left. But he got
his pilot's license in high school. Well that was unheard
(02:20):
of in nineteen eighty four. But now say next, I
think Western.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Flight Club Yeah Lord yeah, Benson, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, or used to be Laura Bencon Yeah yeah, Jones,
yeah yeah, absolutely. She is making sure anyone who wants
to fly can right and making it accessible for all.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It's we actually met somebody who got their pilot's license
before their driver's license.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Oh, I believe that because there's so many high school programs.
That is a definite plus for the.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Schools here ps here. Oh, it's really great that we
need more pilots.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And you know, and again it's aviation. There's more jobs
than just being a pilot.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
What's going on right now? You saw Nashville Airport was
closed last night. There are lots of issues across the
country with the flight system. So it is a great
industry for people to get into.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yes, I'm joy, I live in Saint Matthew, So they
go right over to my house all the time. I
enjoy it. There's smaller planes or whatever they're doing it.
It's not a hassle at all. All Right, I'll hit you
with the hard stuff here first. The all right, So
East End, you got these bands of twelve year olds
that are running a muck all over town and they're
smashing windows, they're breaking in I know that in Trinity
(03:23):
Hills it is every single night. It is not every
other night, it is every single night. They are running
around Saint Matthew's, Lenden and LNPD or trying to team
up and get doing so. Cincinnati, Memphis, Indianapolis they have
juvenile curfews. Have we thought about I know we played
with it during COVID because there was a little out
(03:45):
of control, but they have and it's different rules, different
ages and different days. Are the times. Have we thought
about that to slow this down?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
We have thought about that. I've had some conversations with
Metro Council people as well. One of the things that
I'd like to do is I'd like to get the
Youth to Ten Center reopen Amen when we you know,
if we're going to coordinate that, if there's going to
be a curfew. We need to have a youth detention
center open so that if people are apprehended for doing
what you've just described, right, we've got somewhere where they
can go immediately in Louisville, not three hours away in
(04:15):
a Dare county, and so we're working with the state
right now to get that open as quick as possible.
If you drive by it, you'll see it's under construction.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
They've had the money for a while. Frankfurt gave them
money a couple of years ago, and now they're saying
twenty twenty seven. So everyone in city is going, what
is taking so long?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The good news is it's under construction. We're trying to
see if we can accelerate the timeframe, and so the
state's working on that right now. But we need to
get that reopen.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So it's impractical to say, you see, you see the
four twelve year olds. You know they're not up to good,
but you didn't catch them smashing. But it's past curfew.
There's no place to take them until their parents pick up.
That's what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's not practice at the moment, right it'd be very
tough to enforce. And if you know My view is
if you're going to create new policies, you've got to
enforce it. So it now might not be the right time,
but it's something that we're having conversations with members of
Metro Council about, and so stay tuned a while.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I heard the tone of the Chief's voice when he said,
you got to know where your kids are.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
You know, he sounded like a parent as he was speaking, going,
you don't know where your kids are? Is that a
tool maybe a curfew that he has mentioned to you.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You've also been talking about the chief, and I've been
talking with state leaders. We've been talking about with the superintendent.
We've been talking about with the court system. Parents need
to be held accountable. How do we hold parents accountable,
particularly when their kids are repetitively doing things? So are
their programs that parents need to go through if their
kids are getting into trouble that then they can be
held accountable for attending themselves. You know, you know, Rachel
(05:36):
and I know knew where our kids were growing up.
All pierents should know where their kids are, even if
it's as simple as you used to find my phone app.
But I mean know where kids are set your own
curfews in your home.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, it's a little crazy. We got to hit Sunday
night at nine thirty. That's the crazy thing that it's
not like at ten in the morning. It's nine to
thirty at night and they hit four trucks, my truck
and four trucks within the Tide's.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
One of the things we're trying to use is we're
trying to use cameras more. We're trying to use license
readers where you know, ring cameras can be incredibly effective.
We're encouraging people to get those, and we're tying as
much in this to the real time Crime Center as
we can. So we're going to continue to focus on
this in great partnerships with Saint Matthews and Lynn and
police department.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
And is it absolutely practical get that juvenile center pushed
up from twenty twenty seven or is that a dream? No?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I hope that we can beat that. By I mean,
it might be earlier in twenty twenty seven, but right now,
every day matters, every month matter, So if we can
get it moved up many months, that would be incredibly
helpful to the city of louisvill.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
All Right, let's talk football. You got we got a
new football team. They're from Dallas. They're going to play
in the in the perfect stadium to do this in.
And we've all since it was built, Well, we're all
going football games will be awesome in here, especially the
same Extrinity game. I think. I bet you they move
it over there after they build the I bet you
they do.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, we're headed right from here over there to the
tout Kings and with Micropole. Yeah, who's you know, he's
been in Louisville several times for horse racing before, he's
owned some derby Horses's.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Lo guy sort of.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, he's got great connections here. Great, and so I
think his love of the city hopefully helped with that.
We're really excited to welcome the UFL and the Louisville
Kings here starting in March of next year. Really, Rachel
not really excited about going to the games. Win Family
Stadium is just a great veg perfect for racing.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
No, yeah, you're on top of you. I said that
when we took the tour when it opened. If you
sit in that last seat up in the corner, you
feel like you're right on top of the field. It's perfect,
fourteen thousand seats. That's what they want anyway in that league,
They're like, we need to get smaller stadiums. It looks
like the tickets got value and it looks great on TV.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I also read they're going to try to have a
focus and get U of L and UK players.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
See that's what I was saying. Oh, they're going to
try to go get some former coaches and players to
be on the team. Why wouldn't you, right, But I
think they'll be based out of Dallas.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Practice in Dallas. The entire league practices in Dallas, and
then they fly out for their games. It's a new
model of a league. It's a really interesting business model.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, and Rachel, I know this is personal with you too.
Is this the meals on wheels? I know getting I
think people don't understand how many old folks in this
town have no other way to leave their home to
get a meal. Like we only hear about it when
stuff like this happens, and we forget about it. But
there are so many people. There's like all these folks
(08:14):
in vans and their own cars driving meals to old folks.
That's a bigger issue with the government shutdown.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
It absolutely is. I was very proud that when I
found out about this last week that government funding, federal
funding was being cut for nine hundred seniors that could
delivery of five meals every week that they rely on,
many of whom have trouble with transportation and other challenges,
health challenges in their life. We were able to restore
that funding find other city funds to make that happen
(08:41):
at least through the end of the year. We're going
to find a way to continue that funding. We cannot
let our seniors go hungry in this community, and so
we need to do more. We need the federal government
to reopen. I mean, we cannot let politics get in
the way of people's lives like this. They need to
figure out a way to work this out and get
the government reach. You know.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I want it to be simple, and it's never is.
I just want them to get two guys from your side,
two guys from your side, and we locked them in
the room.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
That's what we're doing here.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
If you make concessions, you make and you take the
hit when you come out, but you're not leaving the
room until the government's open. And that's now. It's just grandstanding.
Now we're just talking heads.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That's what we're doing in Louisville. That's what we've been
doing in Kentucky. We've been working together Democrats and Republicans
alike to get stuff done. We disagree on plenty of things.
You got to keep the government open. You've got to
keep funding the key things that government. The people rely
on government for every day.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I know that you have nothing to do with JCPS.
You can control that in no way. You're the mayor.
They are their own sort of entity. They control themselves,
so you can't do anything. But you've got to be
watching this lately and like like it's been bad, but
now you got to go what is going on?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Well, I'm a proud product of JCPS. I'm a proud
grad Collard High School.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Can no oh my sorry ninety ninety one. Sorry, no,
I know so many seventy nine guys. I apologize, Rachel,
you did not marry an old man. Sorry.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
So I'm a proud product of JCPS. I want to
ensure that JCPS is a phenomenal public school system. I'm
working closely with doctor Yearwood now to see where there
are places that we can help them. We help them
out when they're having transportation challenges so that our drivers
did not get laid off and they were able to
help support JCPS. We're helping them with some health things
and helping kids that don't have access to glasses get
(10:24):
glasses through our public health department thanks to a great
leadership of doctor Single and anything else we can do
to support them, we are going to because public education
is so critical, it's a.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Key McCann's the city help at all for example, And
I'm not saying you do this, but are their buildings
that you're not using for the city that you donate
to Jefferson County Public Schools? I don't even know if
you can do that.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, it's actually interesting that you mentioned that because we
are having some conversations with them about some various real
estate needs that they have. You know, they started building
some new high schools and no schools and able to
improve them and so there are one.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Year old high school is the last high school built.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
That is true way, So there is property that we've
been in conversations about. We'll see where that leads, but
any we're looking for ways that we can be supportive.
You know, they actually have a larger budget than the
City of Louisville. Jefferson County Public Schools has about a
two billion dollar budget. Louisville's is about one point one billion.
We're in good financial shape right now. It's not really
(11:20):
a funding thing. They've got their own sources of funding.
But when there are ways that we can partner and help, we're.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Going to Why are homicides down?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Why are they down? I think they're down for a
lot of different reasons. One, we have a phenomenal police
chief and Chief Paul Humphrey that's doing a great job.
We have new high levels of recruits that are coming
in for the first time in a decade. We're exciting
to announce the new class hopefully next week, which we'll
have some record breaking numbers on. We also were doing
things to my Safe Louisville Plan, which are working to
(11:48):
prevent crime from happening before it happens. We just came
out with some great data earlier this week. We have
an annual report on that that shows when people are
in the communities working with people to resolve the disputes
that don't involve using a gun, we can bring crime down.
And so we're doing a lot of things on prevention, intervention,
and then of course enforcement, which comes back to the
beginning of our conversation. And those things collectively are working,
(12:10):
and that's why I'm proud that homicides and shootings are
down over twenty five percent this year. But that's nothing
to celebrate its progress. We got to keep doing more.
We've got to do more, We've got to do it fast.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I love the new drones by the way. Yeah, that's right,
the ones that are on the firehouses and stuff. We've
got crazy awesome right.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
You know, they're gonna be able to get whether it's
to a fire or whether it's to a scene of
a crime.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
They can see the scene before the cops even get there.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Which is which is insane, It really is. So who
So let's go back to Halloween. So it's on a
Friday night. I think this year's Halloween is going to
be off the chain because it's a Friday night. Who
decides what you are going? Do you have a committee
now on the mayors is does the staff get together
and go what's the appropriate costume for you?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Well, Rachel and I have talked about this a lot. No,
there is no committee. We did go to up since
we went.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
To You have not dressed No, we have not dressed
up since christ.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Okay, but yeah, we should consider that we had a
great Halloween out Halloween themed outfits on Sunday for Boo
with the Zoo. I will black and orange Louder than
Life T shirt that I got this year.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
That's very It just called you very average. The costume
was was good, but you that is.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
You know, we're going to think about to an.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
You know what you said that you actually people call in.
We will take.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Suggestions, you know what. Yes, I don't know if that's
a good idea, but I don't know. But do you
decorate the house, Rachel? Do you decorate the house and
Halloween at all? The kids are not there anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
You're not there. We're not there that much.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah right, I was gonna say that, Yeah, you're not
just not home.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
But we do go to a lot of trunk or treats.
Speaker 1 (13:58):

You're on that you're in that neighborhood where the kids
have gone to college and you're waiting for the overturn
for young kids to come in.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Right walk above to the neighbors behind us, and that's
where we go.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
The kids know where all the candy is, so they
go to those streets.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
No, no, no, dearrel Isaacas is my neighbor. He does the
big size He has a whole table of the big
size candy bars. So we have our neighborhood in Trinity Hills.
They all turned over. There's a million kids now, so
which is awesome.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Fun.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Oh, it totally is.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
That's why we'll go to a friends house in a
big neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah fun. Yeah, yeah. So what's next? Anything coming up
that we need to know about. I know you're going
to the football stadium now, very.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Very excited about that announcement. I'm very excited about our.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Can you get to get hit or no.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I don't know if they've put those on sale yet.
We'll find out in about two hours though, Okay, and
very excited about the upcoming basketball season. I'm still excited
about the football team. They're having a great season. They're
going to continue to doing well. And we've got the
last week Saint James Ardfair set records over three hundred
thousand people. So we're continuing on working some on bringing
some really big events to our city. There's no better
(15:21):
city in America to host events than here in Louisville.
Last week we brought in people from the LPGA Tour,
had a big announcement about the Solheim Cup, which is
coming in.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Twenty been a while since it's been here.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
It's never been here. I was here, No, the Ryder
Cup was here. But the Solheim Cup is the Ryder
Cup for women. It'll be the first time here. Valhalla
is going to be the first golf course in America
to host a PGA Championship, a Ryder Cup, and a
Solheim Cup. This is a big deal, it really is.
These things are happening in Louisville now. So look we are,
We've got We're making great progress. But you know me,
(15:51):
I'm never satisfied. We're going to keep moving forward.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, you need to get out more. Geez, seriously, I
follow you on Twitter. I'm like, dude, seriously. But okay,
so this is a fair question. You're both your kids
are gone, you're out of college, they're doing college. Thing.
Who's busier you two or your two college kids?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Well, Daniel's graduate, Daniel has a job. Now he's off
the door.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Actually a child.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
That's a big thing for us. We'll see how this
October thirtieth anniversary.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Goes, aren't they? Are they ever off the.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
We're not paying for college?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh? Amen, sister, come on, are you kidding me? No? No, no,
I got one to do them the same thing. Yeah, yeah,
exactly are.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Our sons are incredibly busy. They've got a lot of
things going on in life. But I do think our
schedule probably a slightly.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Busier, slightly busy later. YESU yeah, I guarantee you that.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I cut. I did my last thing for for John.
I said, okay, the last thing was gas. I was
but still buying his gas and I said, okay, that's sorry, dude.
You're making more runny than I am now so you're
paying for your own gas.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
That is a proud parent moment though, when your child
makes more money than Hey.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Amen, Amen, there's no doubt about it. He's off and
running into his thing. He paid cash for his new
car the other day. He's in Charleston right now, moving
into New York here in a couple of weeks. But uh, yeah,
he paid cash, and I was like, you know, the
last time I paid cash for I was twenty three. Yeah,
twenty three, thank you? Or a new car for sure.
(17:17):
Look it, man, it's every something. Every single day, you know,
something will turn around and start popping up. Yesterday was
nuts with the weather, third wettest day in October history.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah, we're very fortunate thanks to great first responders. We
had about a dozen cars that did not turn around
and they drove through water and they had to be rescued,
but no serious injury.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Plant side drive nuts, right, that's.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
The biggest challenge that we have. If anyone hasn't heard,
avoid planned side drive because there's a giant, you know,
the road just basically.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I don't know if you it's like that can't be
shut down for long.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
That's a busy and that is that's a Jaytown Road,
the city of jay Town.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Okay, that's jay Town.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
They're working on that right away. We were in touch
with them immediately. May Or Pike and her whole public
works team there. Yeah, so we were in touch with them.
And fortunately there were no injuries that could have been
really dangerous.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Oh, there's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
So we got fortunate yesterday.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
But because some people simply can't just stop.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Their car, Yeah, that's sad.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
There were a lot of cars floating and it's like,
stop your car.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I don't get it. It's very simple, turn around.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I'll make it. Don't do it even rhymes darn it. Okay,

go do, go do the football thing. I'm sure you
get some T shirts. I'm sure they already got T
shirts ready to rock.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Well, I'm sure they got great merch, as all sports
teams do. So thanks Tony and Dwight. We know you're

(18:54):
jazzed up Doobie Brothers news Radio eight forty WHG Yes,
Tony and Dwight Chile bread by the Tucky Office of
Highway Safety hung out with the Deobie Brothers once in
Foreigner at the same time.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
How was that?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
It was wild? Because I was doing afternoons on QMF
on a Saturday afternoon in the hot round. Hot line
rang and the phone rang, and I said, this is
my boss and said, oh, I forgot to tell you
Foreigner and Doobie Brothers are coming in now. They are.
They're gonna play in the studio today and they're probably
(19:29):
at the front door. And I went, what whow? I
was sweating down the back of my neck. And I
had Doobie Brothers on one side, Foreurner on the other
with Lou Graham, and they brought a keyboard and they
plugged it in. The engineer was there and he plugged
it into the board, and everybody had a acoustic guitarist
keyboard and a guy with a drum like a bongo's
(19:52):
and they sang two songs each, So Lou Graham backed
up Doobie Brothers and the Doobie Brothers backed up Foreigner
when they sang their songs. It was sweet. At twenty
four years old, I had no idea what the interview was.
Probably horrific. I'd like to say, yes, I did a
great job. It was probably terrible, but at the time,
(20:15):
I really later in life I realized, wow, that was
pretty cool. What I did.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
You got two of the fantastic classic rock bands of the.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
All time and they and they and all of them
could not have been nicer like there. They were not
jerks at all. Everybody, Lou Graham, all the guys from
the Doobie Brothers taking it to the streets. They did
that one China China Grove and taking it to the streets.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Was it Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald No, no.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
No, absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, right yeah that he
was not in it. I do want to remind you
about Sosata's. It was National Taco Day yesterday, but don't
miss about get the app because that will build you points.
I eat there all the time. I mean now they
have the double wrap taco, which is the hard shell
and you can either choose queso or refried beans to
(21:06):
wrap it again with a soft taco. That's what I've
been getting every single time I go to Salceerritas, and
if you remember, you get breaks on it. Plus, if
you're doing Halloween, forget the chili on Halloween on a
Friday night, get Salcertas and get it catered at Salsertas
dot com Fresh Mexican Grill. And don't forget Saint Matthew's location.
(21:27):
They have a family silent disco October twenty sixth that's
out on the new deck Party. It's not new, but
it's a deck part that's outside. Have you ever been
to a silent disco?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Gus, wouldn't you explain this to me about a week ago,
And I still don't quite get the concept of this.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
If you were just there without headphones on, it looks
really weird because everyone has headphones on and they have
colors on the side of the headphones, so you tune
it into red, blue or yellow, and the different muse
is on it so its Saucer Rida's. They were like,
we're doing Halloween music on one, we're doing kids music
on another, and we're doing old people music on the
(22:08):
other one, and I was like, well, I guess I'll
be yellow or whatever the old person music. But you
see them dancing, so all you hear is like clothes rustling.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
So if you walk in there, there's actually no music
in the silent disco. Right, That's exactly what I'm really
gonna hear is. That's basically it. Right, So it's so
sounds exciting, bizarre. I guess if you got the headphones on,
it's a great experience.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Well, that generation grew up on a pair of headphones
on their heads and they in their own little world.
So I guess the idea I'm trying to think of
eighth grade Tony Vinetti pulling the moves on the you know,
on the dance floor, and you know, you would want
to match the colors, like that would be a good icebreaker, Like, hey, yeah,
I'm red, you're red.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
So if you see the girl and she's got red
and you got you kid, you tune it to the red.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Right, I was gonna do with the hand sating those guys.
We're both read red, You're read, I'm read. How you're
doing you want to dance? What are we doing? You dance.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
We should do this here at work one day because
I'm curious.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Silent disco. Ye, how about silent staff meetings.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
That's even better. I'm all for it me too.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Okay, So Sorcerrits go to Sulcerrita's dot com. Have you
ever lied to your doctor?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
No, actually no, I'm pretty honest with you. I like
to tell him the truth because I want I want
to be get the right to diagnosis.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Right. I cannot say I did not because I lied
to my doctor and I have a heart attack. What'd
you lie about? Well, I did not tell him everything.
I didn't lie, but I didn't tell him everything.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
There's nobody listening right now. So and I'm sure your
doctor isn't listen.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
No, Doc Sadlow knows now. He knows now. But yeah,
I came clean. And that's when he said, no, no, I
need you to go down to university right now?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Are you still Are you still being honest with it?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Yes, I've learned my lesson. Okay, good, I've learned my lesson.
But doctor Katie Freeman, an assistant professor at the University
of Minnesota Medical School, says one of the biggest problems
doctors have is that people just aren't honest with them
when they go to the doctor, and several things she
wants to remind and look, if it's embarrassing, he's he
(24:24):
or she is a doctor. They've heard it and seen
it all. Nothing really shocks these folks. So especially about
like bathroom habits. If something embarrassing is going on in
the bathroom, especially the older generation, you didn't share that
kind of stuff even with your doctor. Was kind of like, well,
I'm not going to share it. Look my bathroom situation is.
(24:49):
But the bathroom habits are almost so important. It's so
important if something is going on down there, you've got
to tell them because that could be the first sign
of something's wrong. Correct, correct, Yeah, this can be another one.
Your sexual health. We talk about it all the time.
I mean yes, people say all the time, Wow, you've
(25:09):
got a lot of guide doctors on here with testosterone
and everything else. But guess why because it's an issue
and people did not talk about your rectel dysfunction. Or
here's the weird thing. If you do, you know multiple partners, right,
you want to be honest with your doctor, especially if
(25:32):
you have something going on. Right, So that's a biggie.
Another one is I don't know what percentage of people
are honest about their drinking, smoking, and drug use when
they go see their doctor.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Well, I can't.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
I can guarantee people don't tell you everything there that
you're supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Right, because they throw this at you. All right, you
are you a drinker? Yes? Is it one tree drinks
a week? Is it three to six drinks a week?
Is it six to twelve drinks a week? Right? And
you're like, well, hell a football game, I could bang
out ten right. That's my weak quota.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Why do you think people do that, right? I think
it's because they don't want to be told, Yes, you
don't need to be doing that, right. Everybody knows you
shouldn't probably be doing that.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
No, right, But it then it sounds it makes you
sound like an alcoholic though, when you were just like,
well I do I do kind of have a drink
every night.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
It takes some beard of the game and we knocked
it out.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Well. I remember going to Doc Sadlow afterwards with Jackie,
because you know, after you have lied to the doctor
you've had a heart attack. She doesn't let you go
to the doctor by yourself. Anymore like a child. She
wants to take notes and she's gonna take care of it.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
So well, isn't it better to just tell the truth
than having to take your wife there? Who's gonna go,
why didn't you telling the truth? I told you to
telling the truth. This is what we have to get into.
And now I've got to be looking over United day.
I can't believe that. Just better to tell the truth, right, Yes.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
So he got to the drinking part, and he goes
and here's the just a general rule. Oh one for women,
two for men a day is it? And Jackie goes
bottles and I and I wish, I wish I could
(27:21):
tell you that she was being funny. She was not
being funny. She had the serious look like bottles of wine.
And Zathl looks at her and goes, no, Jackie, glass,
glass of wine. So this is why you gotta be
honest with your doctor.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Maybe it is good to have have your significant other there, Yeah,
to get clarification on it.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I think this is a bigger one too. If you're
if you're you should have seen her face. She was
locked in. She was like bottles.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
It took him a second. He was like, no, Jackie.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Glass, look on that face.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Glass of one, not a bottle. Here's another, Biggie. And
I think you need to be honest with your doctor.
If you're uncomfortable with a treatment plan, if you're not
digging and it's not working for you, or you're having
effects of it or whatever, or you're just not happy
with it and you don't want to do it anymore,
you got to be honest with your doctor instead of
(28:21):
just stopping it, right, you gotta be honest with them.
But if you if anybody's listening to this break, they
think Jacki Vinetti's an alcoholic, and be honest with your doctor.
I think those things matter this Today has been a
very very busy day and we've covered a lot. I
knew I was gonna get. I think I will tell you.
(28:43):
I want to be honest with you. Greenberg. I thought
was pretty concerned about the juvenile issue, you know. After
the break, they were just like, it's happening every night,
and I was like, yes, in my neighborhood there's groups
of twelve year olds that are they're running a muck
in our neighborhood, smashing windows, dealing things, and it's not
at two in the morning, like the other night at Sunday.
We got hit at nine thirty on a Sunday night,
(29:06):
smashed out the back window of my new truck. And
they've got four trucks within six houses. And that's not
that's just a normal that's a normal night in our
neighborhood these days.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Are they just breaking it to break the windows or
do you think they're trying to steal the trucks?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
No, you steal stuff in the truck, the police officer
said they. I said, why do they just hit pickup trucks?
And he was like, because they think a gun. They
think a guy that drives a pickup truck has a
gun under the seat.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
That's I think that's not a bad thought or a
bad conclusion of things. That's kind of sure what you think?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Yeah, yeah, and you're.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Going after the vehicle that you think is likely to.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Have the firearm, right and not like it had mattered.
But my camera on the garage, because I have like
three cameras now all over the house, that one wasn't
working because the remodel guys had turned off the electric
and not rebooted it, so the camera wasn't on. So
I didn't get at him, but probably I told Jackie,
I was like, even if it was on, I was like,
it wouldn't you know, right, what are you gonna do?
(30:09):
You know, what are you gonna do? But I was
even more upset because part of our deck is missing
in the back from the remodel, and the cat got out.
So Jackie, in the pouring down rain, tried to make
the jump and she hit, slipped and fell in the mud,
like three feet down in the pouring rain. And I
(30:32):
didn't even ask if she's okay. I said, that's gonna
be on camera. And I ran to my phone and
picked up my app and so upset that the electric
was off and it wasn't rebooting. I didn't get it
on video.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
You were wanting to put that on social media?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Oh by far?
Speaker 4 (30:48):
How many glasses would it take to overcome that slip
and fall that day?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Glasses, big bruise on her butt And I was like,
so funny saw glasses there in the mud. But yes,
that And we talked about roadblocks, which the shocking story
was two thirds of kids that are ages nine to
twelve are on that platform. I believe that that is
(31:15):
that's a crazy number. And the fact that this company
has valued at forty one billion dollars and it didn't
go to public until twenty twenty one. That is crazy,
all right, Christian Brothers Roofing, Folks, my nephew works there.
All you need to know is that I did my
research on this this business before I started to talk
(31:35):
about him. I met Aaron and his family before I
would start to talk about him, and asked around about him.
I vet most of my almost all of my clients,
but that when I was impressed with so much, I
went to my nephew and said, you really need to
apply there because that is a great company and that
would be a great You've got a great future there
if you do. And that's all you need to know.
(31:55):
If you're talking about trusting the roofer, either commercial or residential,
it doesn't matter. They'll take care of you at Christian
Brothers Roofing. Go to Christianbrorooofing dot com for gutters, siding
and roofs. We'll take a short break, we'll come back
wrap things up on NewsRadio eight forty whs or Not
Put your headphones on, Rachel, there you go news readywaight
forty wha as with a Tony and Dwight chill, brought
you by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety the Green
Burger with me Hello, folks, Hello, Hello, it is it
is the Tony Show. Let me get your mic on.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I got the wrong one. Yes, Dwight is in Cabo,
poor Dwright. He'll be back a week from Thursday. Yeah,
poor guy.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm sure he's really suffering right now. Yeah, Dwight, we
send you our condolences.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
He is the mayor of Cabo. When he shows up,
everyone's like, Okay, the party started. You know that's Dwight. Dwight,
you know Dwight. All right, Rachel, how are you?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Are you getting ready for the holidays?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Getting ready for Halloween? And it's our twenty sixth anniversary
on Halloween.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I was going to say, you got married on Halloween.
I like it already. You just went from here to
here to.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Get married on the thirtieth.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Just in case somebody turned into whatever on Halloween. You
would know before, all right, So let's jump into it.
We got a lot last weekend. I was out at
Bowman Fest for Bowmen Field. That is an event. I
think that we underplay on how cool that place is
and the heritage and the history of Bowmen Field. Minus
the jet coming off the Yes, nobody was seriously injureds
(01:17):
but the passion of people that that that work out
there is amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
It totally is you know. We it is a great
historic airport to have. It's very important for our local economy.
I know there are a lot of people that they
teach kids how to fly out there, a lot of
people who fly recreationally but also commercially go out there
there as well. The buildings are absolutely beautiful, restaurants, asset
to have in the community, you know, having events like
(01:45):
like they had we had. We also had an event
out there a few weeks ago one of my Mayor
FN Race series. We actually closed the runway down for
an hour in the morning and we have raced the
runway where we had a thousand people that literally ran
a five k on the runway. Really unique experience.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
No, that's fun, and that's harder. I found out. That's
harder than you think because that place is busier than
you understand. How many planes are landing and taking her
off from there. But I'll also in what you mentioned
was when we talked to Pat that works works out
there and whatever, and he crawled over the fence when
he was five and he never left. But he got
his pilot's license in high school. Well that was unheard
(02:20):
of in nineteen eighty four. But now say next, I
think Western.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Flight Club Yeah Lord yeah, Benson, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, or used to be Laura Bencon Yeah yeah, Jones,
yeah yeah, absolutely. She is making sure anyone who wants
to fly can right and making it accessible for all.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It's we actually met somebody who got their pilot's license
before their driver's license.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Oh, I believe that because there's so many high school programs.
That is a definite plus for the.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Schools here ps here. Oh, it's really great that we
need more pilots.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And you know, and again it's aviation. There's more jobs
than just being a pilot.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
What's going on right now? You saw Nashville Airport was
closed last night. There are lots of issues across the
country with the flight system. So it is a great
industry for people to get into.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yes, I'm joy, I live in Saint Matthew, So they
go right over to my house all the time. I
enjoy it. There's smaller planes or whatever they're doing it.
It's not a hassle at all. All Right, I'll hit you
with the hard stuff here first. The all right, So
East End, you got these bands of twelve year olds
that are running a muck all over town and they're
smashing windows, they're breaking in I know that in Trinity
(03:23):
Hills it is every single night. It is not every
other night, it is every single night. They are running
around Saint Matthew's, Lenden and LNPD or trying to team
up and get doing so. Cincinnati, Memphis, Indianapolis they have
juvenile curfews. Have we thought about I know we played
with it during COVID because there was a little out
(03:45):
of control, but they have and it's different rules, different
ages and different days. Are the times. Have we thought
about that to slow this down?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
We have thought about that. I've had some conversations with
Metro Council people as well. One of the things that
I'd like to do is I'd like to get the
Youth to Ten Center reopen Amen when we you know,
if we're going to coordinate that, if there's going to
be a curfew. We need to have a youth detention
center open so that if people are apprehended for doing
what you've just described, right, we've got somewhere where they
can go immediately in Louisville, not three hours away in
(04:15):
a Dare county, and so we're working with the state
right now to get that open as quick as possible.
If you drive by it, you'll see it's under construction.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
They've had the money for a while. Frankfurt gave them
money a couple of years ago, and now they're saying
twenty twenty seven. So everyone in city is going, what
is taking so long?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The good news is it's under construction. We're trying to
see if we can accelerate the timeframe, and so the
state's working on that right now. But we need to
get that reopen.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So it's impractical to say, you see, you see the
four twelve year olds. You know they're not up to good,
but you didn't catch them smashing. But it's past curfew.
There's no place to take them until their parents pick up.
That's what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's not practice at the moment, right it'd be very
tough to enforce. And if you know My view is
if you're going to create new policies, you've got to
enforce it. So it now might not be the right time,
but it's something that we're having conversations with members of
Metro Council about, and so stay tuned a while.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I heard the tone of the Chief's voice when he said,
you got to know where your kids are.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
You know, he sounded like a parent as he was speaking, going,
you don't know where your kids are? Is that a
tool maybe a curfew that he has mentioned to you.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You've also been talking about the chief, and I've been
talking with state leaders. We've been talking about with the superintendent.
We've been talking about with the court system. Parents need
to be held accountable. How do we hold parents accountable,
particularly when their kids are repetitively doing things? So are
their programs that parents need to go through if their
kids are getting into trouble that then they can be
held accountable for attending themselves. You know, you know, Rachel
(05:36):
and I know knew where our kids were growing up.
All pierents should know where their kids are, even if
it's as simple as you used to find my phone app.
But I mean know where kids are set your own
curfews in your home.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, it's a little crazy. We got to hit Sunday
night at nine thirty. That's the crazy thing that it's
not like at ten in the morning. It's nine to
thirty at night and they hit four trucks, my truck
and four trucks within the Tide's.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
One of the things we're trying to use is we're
trying to use cameras more. We're trying to use license
readers where you know, ring cameras can be incredibly effective.
We're encouraging people to get those, and we're tying as
much in this to the real time Crime Center as
we can. So we're going to continue to focus on
this in great partnerships with Saint Matthews and Lynn and
police department.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
And is it absolutely practical get that juvenile center pushed
up from twenty twenty seven or is that a dream? No?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I hope that we can beat that. By I mean,
it might be earlier in twenty twenty seven, but right now,
every day matters, every month matter, So if we can
get it moved up many months, that would be incredibly
helpful to the city of louisvill.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
All Right, let's talk football. You got we got a
new football team. They're from Dallas. They're going to play
in the in the perfect stadium to do this in.
And we've all since it was built, Well, we're all
going football games will be awesome in here, especially the
same Extrinity game. I think. I bet you they move
it over there after they build the I bet you
they do.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, we're headed right from here over there to the
tout Kings and with Micropole. Yeah, who's you know, he's
been in Louisville several times for horse racing before, he's
owned some derby Horses's.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Lo guy sort of.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, he's got great connections here. Great, and so I
think his love of the city hopefully helped with that.
We're really excited to welcome the UFL and the Louisville
Kings here starting in March of next year. Really, Rachel
not really excited about going to the games. Win Family
Stadium is just a great veg perfect for racing.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
No, yeah, you're on top of you. I said that
when we took the tour when it opened. If you
sit in that last seat up in the corner, you
feel like you're right on top of the field. It's perfect,
fourteen thousand seats. That's what they want anyway in that league,
They're like, we need to get smaller stadiums. It looks
like the tickets got value and it looks great on TV.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I also read they're going to try to have a
focus and get U of L and UK players.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
See that's what I was saying. Oh, they're going to
try to go get some former coaches and players to
be on the team. Why wouldn't you, right, But I
think they'll be based out of Dallas.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Practice in Dallas. The entire league practices in Dallas, and
then they fly out for their games. It's a new
model of a league. It's a really interesting business model.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, and Rachel, I know this is personal with you too.
Is this the meals on wheels? I know getting I
think people don't understand how many old folks in this
town have no other way to leave their home to
get a meal. Like we only hear about it when
stuff like this happens, and we forget about it. But
there are so many people. There's like all these folks
(08:14):
in vans and their own cars driving meals to old folks.
That's a bigger issue with the government shutdown.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
It absolutely is. I was very proud that when I
found out about this last week that government funding, federal
funding was being cut for nine hundred seniors that could
delivery of five meals every week that they rely on,
many of whom have trouble with transportation and other challenges,
health challenges in their life. We were able to restore
that funding find other city funds to make that happen
(08:41):
at least through the end of the year. We're going
to find a way to continue that funding. We cannot
let our seniors go hungry in this community, and so
we need to do more. We need the federal government
to reopen. I mean, we cannot let politics get in
the way of people's lives like this. They need to
figure out a way to work this out and get
the government reach. You know.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I want it to be simple, and it's never is.
I just want them to get two guys from your side,
two guys from your side, and we locked them in
the room.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
That's what we're doing here.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
If you make concessions, you make and you take the
hit when you come out, but you're not leaving the
room until the government's open. And that's now. It's just grandstanding.
Now we're just talking heads.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That's what we're doing in Louisville. That's what we've been
doing in Kentucky. We've been working together Democrats and Republicans
alike to get stuff done. We disagree on plenty of things.
You got to keep the government open. You've got to
keep funding the key things that government. The people rely
on government for every day.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I know that you have nothing to do with JCPS.
You can control that in no way. You're the mayor.
They are their own sort of entity. They control themselves,
so you can't do anything. But you've got to be
watching this lately and like like it's been bad, but
now you got to go what is going on?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Well, I'm a proud product of JCPS. I'm a proud
grad Collard High School.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Can no oh my sorry ninety ninety one. Sorry, no,
I know so many seventy nine guys. I apologize, Rachel,
you did not marry an old man. Sorry.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
So I'm a proud product of JCPS. I want to
ensure that JCPS is a phenomenal public school system. I'm
working closely with doctor Yearwood now to see where there
are places that we can help them. We help them
out when they're having transportation challenges so that our drivers
did not get laid off and they were able to
help support JCPS. We're helping them with some health things
and helping kids that don't have access to glasses get
(10:24):
glasses through our public health department thanks to a great
leadership of doctor Single and anything else we can do
to support them, we are going to because public education
is so critical, it's a.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Key McCann's the city help at all for example, And
I'm not saying you do this, but are their buildings
that you're not using for the city that you donate
to Jefferson County Public Schools? I don't even know if
you can do that.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, it's actually interesting that you mentioned that because we
are having some conversations with them about some various real
estate needs that they have. You know, they started building
some new high schools and no schools and able to
improve them and so there are one.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Year old high school is the last high school built.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
That is true way, So there is property that we've
been in conversations about. We'll see where that leads, but
any we're looking for ways that we can be supportive.
You know, they actually have a larger budget than the
City of Louisville. Jefferson County Public Schools has about a
two billion dollar budget. Louisville's is about one point one billion.
We're in good financial shape right now. It's not really
(11:20):
a funding thing. They've got their own sources of funding.
But when there are ways that we can partner and help, we're.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Going to Why are homicides down?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Why are they down? I think they're down for a
lot of different reasons. One, we have a phenomenal police
chief and Chief Paul Humphrey that's doing a great job.
We have new high levels of recruits that are coming
in for the first time in a decade. We're exciting
to announce the new class hopefully next week, which we'll
have some record breaking numbers on. We also were doing
things to my Safe Louisville Plan, which are working to
(11:48):
prevent crime from happening before it happens. We just came
out with some great data earlier this week. We have
an annual report on that that shows when people are
in the communities working with people to resolve the disputes
that don't involve using a gun, we can bring crime down.
And so we're doing a lot of things on prevention, intervention,
and then of course enforcement, which comes back to the
beginning of our conversation. And those things collectively are working,
(12:10):
and that's why I'm proud that homicides and shootings are
down over twenty five percent this year. But that's nothing
to celebrate its progress. We got to keep doing more.
We've got to do more, We've got to do it fast.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I love the new drones by the way. Yeah, that's right,
the ones that are on the firehouses and stuff. We've
got crazy awesome right.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
You know, they're gonna be able to get whether it's
to a fire or whether it's to a scene of
a crime.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
They can see the scene before the cops even get there.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Which is which is insane, It really is. So who
So let's go back to Halloween. So it's on a
Friday night. I think this year's Halloween is going to
be off the chain because it's a Friday night. Who
decides what you are going? Do you have a committee
now on the mayors is does the staff get together
and go what's the appropriate costume for you?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Well, Rachel and I have talked about this a lot. No,
there is no committee. We did go to up since
we went.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
To You have not dressed No, we have not dressed
up since christ.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Okay, but yeah, we should consider that we had a
great Halloween out Halloween themed outfits on Sunday for Boo
with the Zoo. I will black and orange Louder than
Life T shirt that I got this year.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Very average.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
It was fine, but you look cute.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
You got a new headband than you.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
That's very It just called you very average. The costume
was was good, but you that is.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
You know, we're going to think about to an.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
You know what you said that you actually people call in.
We will take.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Suggestions, you know what. Yes, I don't know if that's
a good idea, but I don't know. But do you
decorate the house, Rachel? Do you decorate the house and
Halloween at all? The kids are not there anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
You're not there. We're not there that much.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah right, I was gonna say that, Yeah, you're not
just not home.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
But we do go to a lot of trunk or treats.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
In yeah, yeah, yeah, so you will be out and about,
so we give a lot of candy. So you're just
gonna have a dark house on Halloween. Don't come around, No, no, no, no, we.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Go actually we go go to who we mentioned before.
We go to our friend's house.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, you go to let them do it.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
We don't get many trigger treaters on streets.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Were, Oh, you don't. It's very lonely all the kids are.
You're on that you're in that neighborhood where the kids
have gone to college and you're waiting for the overturn
for young kids to come in.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Right walk above to the neighbors behind us, and that's
where we go.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
The kids know where all the candy is, so they
go to those streets.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
No, no, no, dearrel Isaacas is my neighbor. He does the
big size He has a whole table of the big
size candy bars. So we have our neighborhood in Trinity Hills.
They all turned over. There's a million kids now, so
which is awesome.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Fun.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Oh, it totally is.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
That's why we'll go to a friends house in a
big neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah fun. Yeah, yeah. So what's next? Anything coming up
that we need to know about. I know you're going
to the football stadium now, very.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Very excited about that announcement. I'm very excited about our.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Can you get to get hit or no.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I don't know if they've put those on sale yet.
We'll find out in about two hours though, Okay, and
very excited about the upcoming basketball season. I'm still excited
about the football team. They're having a great season. They're
going to continue to doing well. And we've got the
last week Saint James Ardfair set records over three hundred
thousand people. So we're continuing on working some on bringing
some really big events to our city. There's no better
(15:21):
city in America to host events than here in Louisville.
Last week we brought in people from the LPGA Tour,
had a big announcement about the Solheim Cup, which is
coming in.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Twenty been a while since it's been here.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
It's never been here. I was here, No, the Ryder
Cup was here. But the Solheim Cup is the Ryder
Cup for women. It'll be the first time here. Valhalla
is going to be the first golf course in America
to host a PGA Championship, a Ryder Cup, and a
Solheim Cup. This is a big deal, it really is.
These things are happening in Louisville now. So look we are,
We've got We're making great progress. But you know me,
(15:51):
I'm never satisfied. We're going to keep moving forward.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, you need to get out more. Geez, seriously, I
follow you on Twitter. I'm like, dude, seriously. But okay,
so this is a fair question. You're both your kids
are gone, you're out of college, they're doing college. Thing.
Who's busier you two or your two college kids?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Well, Daniel's graduate, Daniel has a job. Now he's off
the door.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Actually a child.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
That's a big thing for us. We'll see how this
October thirtieth anniversary.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Goes, aren't they? Are they ever off the.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
We're not paying for college?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh? Amen, sister, come on, are you kidding me? No? No, no,
I got one to do them the same thing. Yeah, yeah,
exactly are.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Our sons are incredibly busy. They've got a lot of
things going on in life. But I do think our
schedule probably a slightly.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Busier, slightly busy later. YESU yeah, I guarantee you that.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I cut. I did my last thing for for John.
I said, okay, the last thing was gas. I was
but still buying his gas and I said, okay, that's sorry, dude.
You're making more runny than I am now so you're
paying for your own gas.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
That is a proud parent moment though, when your child
makes more money than Hey.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Amen, Amen, there's no doubt about it. He's off and
running into his thing. He paid cash for his new
car the other day. He's in Charleston right now, moving
into New York here in a couple of weeks. But uh, yeah,
he paid cash, and I was like, you know, the
last time I paid cash for I was twenty three. Yeah,
twenty three, thank you? Or a new car for sure.
(17:17):
Look it, man, it's every something. Every single day, you know,
something will turn around and start popping up. Yesterday was
nuts with the weather, third wettest day in October history.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah, we're very fortunate thanks to great first responders. We
had about a dozen cars that did not turn around
and they drove through water and they had to be rescued,
but no serious injury.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Plant side drive nuts, right, that's.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
The biggest challenge that we have. If anyone hasn't heard,
avoid planned side drive because there's a giant, you know,
the road just basically.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I don't know if you it's like that can't be
shut down for long.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
That's a busy and that is that's a Jaytown Road,
the city of jay Town.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Okay, that's jay Town.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
They're working on that right away. We were in touch
with them immediately. May Or Pike and her whole public
works team there. Yeah, so we were in touch with them.
And fortunately there were no injuries that could have been
really dangerous.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Oh, there's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
So we got fortunate yesterday.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
But because some people simply can't just stop.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Their car, Yeah, that's sad.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
There were a lot of cars floating and it's like,
stop your car.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I don't get it. It's very simple, turn around.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I'll make it. Don't do it even rhymes darn it. Okay,
thanks for coming in today. I know you're busy. Go
go do, go do the football thing. I'm sure you
get some T shirts. I'm sure they already got T
shirts ready to rock.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Well, I'm sure they got great merch, as all sports
teams do. So thanks Tony and Dwight. We know you're
spending your vacation listening.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And UH and Dwight, and you're listening on the podcast.
Rachel dressed like you today. She has the boots and
UH and a doors T shirt. You missed it all.
She came for you and you were not here. Thank
you guys for coming. Short break back after this on
news Radio eight forty w Chance Nice Doobie Brothers Little
(18:54):
jazzed up Doobie Brothers news Radio eight forty WHG Yes,
Tony and Dwight Chile bread by the Tucky Office of
Highway Safety hung out with the Deobie Brothers once in
Foreigner at the same time.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
How was that?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
It was wild? Because I was doing afternoons on QMF
on a Saturday afternoon in the hot round. Hot line
rang and the phone rang, and I said, this is
my boss and said, oh, I forgot to tell you
Foreigner and Doobie Brothers are coming in now. They are.
They're gonna play in the studio today and they're probably
(19:29):
at the front door. And I went, what whow? I
was sweating down the back of my neck. And I
had Doobie Brothers on one side, Foreurner on the other
with Lou Graham, and they brought a keyboard and they
plugged it in. The engineer was there and he plugged
it into the board, and everybody had a acoustic guitarist
keyboard and a guy with a drum like a bongo's
(19:52):
and they sang two songs each, So Lou Graham backed
up Doobie Brothers and the Doobie Brothers backed up Foreigner
when they sang their songs. It was sweet. At twenty
four years old, I had no idea what the interview was.
Probably horrific. I'd like to say, yes, I did a
great job. It was probably terrible, but at the time,
(20:15):
I really later in life I realized, wow, that was
pretty cool. What I did.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
You got two of the fantastic classic rock bands of the.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
All time and they and they and all of them
could not have been nicer like there. They were not
jerks at all. Everybody, Lou Graham, all the guys from
the Doobie Brothers taking it to the streets. They did
that one China China Grove and taking it to the streets.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Was it Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald No, no.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
No, absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, right yeah that he
was not in it. I do want to remind you
about Sosata's. It was National Taco Day yesterday, but don't
miss about get the app because that will build you points.
I eat there all the time. I mean now they
have the double wrap taco, which is the hard shell
and you can either choose queso or refried beans to
(21:06):
wrap it again with a soft taco. That's what I've
been getting every single time I go to Salceerritas, and
if you remember, you get breaks on it. Plus, if
you're doing Halloween, forget the chili on Halloween on a
Friday night, get Salcertas and get it catered at Salsertas
dot com Fresh Mexican Grill. And don't forget Saint Matthew's location.
(21:27):
They have a family silent disco October twenty sixth that's
out on the new deck Party. It's not new, but
it's a deck part that's outside. Have you ever been
to a silent disco?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Gus, wouldn't you explain this to me about a week ago,
And I still don't quite get the concept of this.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
If you were just there without headphones on, it looks
really weird because everyone has headphones on and they have
colors on the side of the headphones, so you tune
it into red, blue or yellow, and the different muse
is on it so its Saucer Rida's. They were like,
we're doing Halloween music on one, we're doing kids music
on another, and we're doing old people music on the
(22:08):
other one, and I was like, well, I guess I'll
be yellow or whatever the old person music. But you
see them dancing, so all you hear is like clothes rustling.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
So if you walk in there, there's actually no music
in the silent disco. Right, That's exactly what I'm really
gonna hear is. That's basically it. Right, So it's so
sounds exciting, bizarre. I guess if you got the headphones on,
it's a great experience.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Well, that generation grew up on a pair of headphones
on their heads and they in their own little world.
So I guess the idea I'm trying to think of
eighth grade Tony Vinetti pulling the moves on the you know,
on the dance floor, and you know, you would want
to match the colors, like that would be a good icebreaker, Like, hey, yeah,
I'm red, you're red.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
So if you see the girl and she's got red
and you got you kid, you tune it to the red.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Right, I was gonna do with the hand sating those guys.
We're both read red, You're read, I'm read. How you're
doing you want to dance? What are we doing? You dance.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
We should do this here at work one day because
I'm curious.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Silent disco. Ye, how about silent staff meetings.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
That's even better. I'm all for it me too.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Okay, So Sorcerrits go to Sulcerrita's dot com. Have you
ever lied to your doctor?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
No, actually no, I'm pretty honest with you. I like
to tell him the truth because I want I want
to be get the right to diagnosis.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Right. I cannot say I did not because I lied
to my doctor and I have a heart attack. What'd
you lie about? Well, I did not tell him everything.
I didn't lie, but I didn't tell him everything.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
There's nobody listening right now. So and I'm sure your
doctor isn't listen.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
No, Doc Sadlow knows now. He knows now. But yeah,
I came clean. And that's when he said, no, no, I
need you to go down to university right now?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Are you still Are you still being honest with it?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Yes, I've learned my lesson. Okay, good, I've learned my lesson.
But doctor Katie Freeman, an assistant professor at the University
of Minnesota Medical School, says one of the biggest problems
doctors have is that people just aren't honest with them
when they go to the doctor, and several things she
wants to remind and look, if it's embarrassing, he's he
(24:24):
or she is a doctor. They've heard it and seen
it all. Nothing really shocks these folks. So especially about
like bathroom habits. If something embarrassing is going on in
the bathroom, especially the older generation, you didn't share that
kind of stuff even with your doctor. Was kind of like, well,
I'm not going to share it. Look my bathroom situation is.
(24:49):
But the bathroom habits are almost so important. It's so
important if something is going on down there, you've got
to tell them because that could be the first sign
of something's wrong. Correct, correct, Yeah, this can be another one.
Your sexual health. We talk about it all the time.
I mean yes, people say all the time, Wow, you've
(25:09):
got a lot of guide doctors on here with testosterone
and everything else. But guess why because it's an issue
and people did not talk about your rectel dysfunction. Or
here's the weird thing. If you do, you know multiple partners, right,
you want to be honest with your doctor, especially if
(25:32):
you have something going on. Right, So that's a biggie.
Another one is I don't know what percentage of people
are honest about their drinking, smoking, and drug use when
they go see their doctor.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Well, I can't.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
I can guarantee people don't tell you everything there that
you're supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Right, because they throw this at you. All right, you
are you a drinker? Yes? Is it one tree drinks
a week? Is it three to six drinks a week?
Is it six to twelve drinks a week? Right? And
you're like, well, hell a football game, I could bang
out ten right. That's my weak quota.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Why do you think people do that, right? I think
it's because they don't want to be told, Yes, you
don't need to be doing that, right. Everybody knows you
shouldn't probably be doing that.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
No, right, But it then it sounds it makes you
sound like an alcoholic though, when you were just like,
well I do I do kind of have a drink
every night.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
It takes some beard of the game and we knocked
it out.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Well. I remember going to Doc Sadlow afterwards with Jackie,
because you know, after you have lied to the doctor
you've had a heart attack. She doesn't let you go
to the doctor by yourself. Anymore like a child. She
wants to take notes and she's gonna take care of it.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
So well, isn't it better to just tell the truth
than having to take your wife there? Who's gonna go,
why didn't you telling the truth? I told you to
telling the truth. This is what we have to get into.
And now I've got to be looking over United day.
I can't believe that. Just better to tell the truth, right, Yes.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
So he got to the drinking part, and he goes
and here's the just a general rule. Oh one for women,
two for men a day is it? And Jackie goes
bottles and I and I wish, I wish I could
(27:21):
tell you that she was being funny. She was not
being funny. She had the serious look like bottles of wine.
And Zathl looks at her and goes, no, Jackie, glass,
glass of wine. So this is why you gotta be
honest with your doctor.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Maybe it is good to have have your significant other there, Yeah,
to get clarification on it.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I think this is a bigger one too. If you're
if you're you should have seen her face. She was
locked in. She was like bottles.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
It took him a second. He was like, no, Jackie.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Glass, look on that face.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Glass of one, not a bottle. Here's another, Biggie. And
I think you need to be honest with your doctor.
If you're uncomfortable with a treatment plan, if you're not
digging and it's not working for you, or you're having
effects of it or whatever, or you're just not happy
with it and you don't want to do it anymore,
you got to be honest with your doctor instead of
(28:21):
just stopping it, right, you gotta be honest with them.
But if you if anybody's listening to this break, they
think Jacki Vinetti's an alcoholic, and be honest with your doctor.
I think those things matter this Today has been a
very very busy day and we've covered a lot. I
knew I was gonna get. I think I will tell you.
(28:43):
I want to be honest with you. Greenberg. I thought
was pretty concerned about the juvenile issue, you know. After
the break, they were just like, it's happening every night,
and I was like, yes, in my neighborhood there's groups
of twelve year olds that are they're running a muck
in our neighborhood, smashing windows, dealing things, and it's not
at two in the morning, like the other night at Sunday.
We got hit at nine thirty on a Sunday night,
(29:06):
smashed out the back window of my new truck. And
they've got four trucks within six houses. And that's not
that's just a normal that's a normal night in our
neighborhood these days.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Are they just breaking it to break the windows or
do you think they're trying to steal the trucks?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
No, you steal stuff in the truck, the police officer
said they. I said, why do they just hit pickup trucks?
And he was like, because they think a gun. They
think a guy that drives a pickup truck has a
gun under the seat.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
That's I think that's not a bad thought or a
bad conclusion of things. That's kind of sure what you think?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Yeah, yeah, and you're.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Going after the vehicle that you think is likely to.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Have the firearm, right and not like it had mattered.
But my camera on the garage, because I have like
three cameras now all over the house, that one wasn't
working because the remodel guys had turned off the electric
and not rebooted it, so the camera wasn't on. So
I didn't get at him, but probably I told Jackie,
I was like, even if it was on, I was like,
it wouldn't you know, right, what are you gonna do?
(30:09):
You know, what are you gonna do? But I was
even more upset because part of our deck is missing
in the back from the remodel, and the cat got out.
So Jackie, in the pouring down rain, tried to make
the jump and she hit, slipped and fell in the mud,
like three feet down in the pouring rain. And I
(30:32):
didn't even ask if she's okay. I said, that's gonna
be on camera. And I ran to my phone and
picked up my app and so upset that the electric
was off and it wasn't rebooting. I didn't get it
on video.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
You were wanting to put that on social media?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Oh by far?
Speaker 4 (30:48):
How many glasses would it take to overcome that slip
and fall that day?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Glasses, big bruise on her butt And I was like,
so funny saw glasses there in the mud. But yes,
that And we talked about roadblocks, which the shocking story
was two thirds of kids that are ages nine to
twelve are on that platform. I believe that that is
(31:15):
that's a crazy number. And the fact that this company
has valued at forty one billion dollars and it didn't
go to public until twenty twenty one. That is crazy,
all right, Christian Brothers Roofing, Folks, my nephew works there.
All you need to know is that I did my
research on this this business before I started to talk
(31:35):
about him. I met Aaron and his family before I
would start to talk about him, and asked around about him.
I vet most of my almost all of my clients,
but that when I was impressed with so much, I
went to my nephew and said, you really need to
apply there because that is a great company and that
would be a great You've got a great future there
if you do. And that's all you need to know.
(31:55):
If you're talking about trusting the roofer, either commercial or residential,
it doesn't matter. They'll take care of you at Christian
Brothers Roofing. Go to Christianbrorooofing dot com for gutters, siding
