Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome Back Out number two. Of course, on Wednesdays at
this time we do Wednesday's Hero little something different. I
pulled this story from the Internet and it is a
story of a marine sniper in Vietnam, and basically it's
a little longer than I usually have, but and I
tried to edit it, and I went, you know, what,
(00:22):
this guy's story should be told. And I think that
if you're in your car now trying to get out,
you're going to sit here for the next nine minutes.
So here is his story. And he starts with they
came into his barracks. Go ahead, Austin, and.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Anybody that has more than a year to do is
going to the Vietnam. They ask, you know, who wanted
to be a sniper? I was young in Gung Ho
and I thought, man, I want to do that, you know,
And so anyway I went through it and became a sniper.
In those days, it was Scott sniper. And what we
would do is we'd go out on reconnaissance missions and
we'd find out where the enemy is and not to
(01:00):
engage them because it's a reconnaissance missions.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
You're not armed for that.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
You're not you're not into that you're trying to snooping
and pooping and hiding and you know, camoufage and all
that stuff. We'd do our little mission and we'd come
back to base and and try to get back through
the lines without getting wasted. We were out in like
on our first patrol operations, starlight and we're bopping along,
(01:23):
you know, and he steps on a landmine and it
was one of those that don't go off right. You
can hear you can hear them click. There's a delayed
fuseing him. And that's kind of the way this mind was.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And he told us.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
All to get back and get down, and which we
did and basically saved our lives, but just blew him
all the hell.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
You know. It was.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Vietnam in a lot of ways, was a series of
my buddy's dying. But when that one happened, something snapped
at me and I became I just had this thought
inside of me, I was gonna kill as many as
little son of it as I possibly could, And that
was kind of what I did.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
We send us out on this one mission, uh where
this guy comes up in the soap box in the
afternoon about three o'clock or whatever it was, and and
he gets up on a little soap box preaching his
communist bs to the to the people in the village.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And and our job was to take his out.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And we went and set up on the hill, you know,
early in the morning before the sun ever came up,
and took a fire team to guard our rear. And
he and I would take turns on the on the binoculars,
cause after a while it was was really powerful. Binoculars
are great for sea and but after a while your
eyeballs are ready.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
To fall out. You got to take a break.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
And so we would as as a day wore on,
you know, we would keep adjusting our weapons for windage
and you know, sunlight and all those things affect the.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Strike of the bullet. So we would do that all day.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Long until this guy came out, and then whoever happened
to be on the rifle at the time would would
take the shot. He'd be on the ground before the
sound ever got there. Nicki Chappelle was a female reporter
h that she landed with Marines when they landed in the
New Gmail and uh work Corse moment and just what
an incredible, incredible woman, tough as nailsman would sit.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Her on the fire night she'd tell these stories.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Man, It's like she her language was worse than the Marines,
and I didn't think that was possible, but it was
like she was a trip and I loved that gal.
And she was with us for about a week. And
we were out on this this operation and somebody in
front of her trip to a trip wire and this
(03:30):
thing went off and a chunk of the shop and
the cut her throat and she died right there.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
And it's beatty in Vietnam. I'm sorry about the language.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
But we were at our base cap in Chui early
in the morning and then we get this call that
helicopter has been down. They bring in a number of
choppers and Hall or company out there, which you know
it's our company. And when we start to land, we
can't land because we're taking incoming fire. And they just
(04:01):
kind of flew over and we jumped out the door
and into rice patties, and you know, we stumbled into
a VC headquarters. They were starting to a mass. They
had a couple of battalions from what I understand of
battalions there that they were going to mass and assault
us in July and got over on us. Well, when
(04:24):
we went out to guardless down chopper, we set up
a perimeter around it, and the rice patties were in
that area.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Where uneven They were like you know, tiered.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I'm sure that you've seen pictures of them, but you
have a burm up on one of them that keeps
the water from it running down into the next one,
you know. So that's how they're separated. And so we
wound up in this one that was kind of in
a low area where this chopper was and where the
Marines what was left of them. So we called in
air strikes all day long, we called in naval gunfire,
on artillery, everything we could think of to bring the
(04:55):
bear on these guys. And they were still just you know,
we were in a storm. There's no other way of put it.
And he used accat guns on us. They had fifty calibers,
had everything you could think of, and we were way
way out numbered. We didn't know that at the time.
We just knew we were in the middle of a
terrible fight. And uh so we kept shooting. And my
(05:16):
rifle I had an in one grand was my sniper rifle,
and I only had a limited amount of ammunition and
one of my buddies he got hit pretty bad. Three
got hit up here on a shoulder and both shoulders actually,
and another one too here and drug his off the line,
and I gave him my rifle because I was I
am anyway, and I took his, so I had something
(05:36):
to fight with at least, And we spent all day
long doing that and taking incoming fire. And then they
had more to the cabin and then physically assault this
and this went on all day and into the night,
and I know it must have been about one two
o'clock in the morning. I was laying kind of like this,
kind of laying back taking it, trying to grab some
z's and my buddy's on the watch and he's like,
(05:57):
from maybe here to that planter, and uh, you hear that, Well,
you've got about I don't know how many probably eight
seconds or less, but from the time you hear that
to the time that it's back down on you exploding.
So I heard that and I knew they were they
were at it again, and so I grabbed my rifle
and went over to get down flat and as I did,
(06:21):
the round hit on my buddy's position, and uh, I
got I got hit in the right elbow from shrapnel.
And also I didn't know it at the time. I
didn't realize it at the time that the concussion from
it had like picked me up and thrown me forward.
(06:42):
And all I can all I know is that I
was buried. I didn't know if I was alive. I
didn't know if I was dead. I couldn't hear anything,
I couldn't see anything, couldn't feel anything. But really thought
I was dead for a second, you know, I thought
maybe I'm dead, you know, I don't know. So I
laid there, but something something in my brain or wherever
kicked in and said, you know, the next thing's gonna happen.
Here they're gonnassault us. And so I knew I needed
(07:04):
to get up and get ready for that. You know,
I kind of got myself up enough to rent shook
my head whatever I did to get back to a
defensive positions. Here here they come, you know, they crawling, snooping,
you know, snooping.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Along the ground.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And I was down to probably my last magazine there
less than a magazine of rounds left. So I waited
until they got about from me to you, and and
I opened up on the ones that I could see,
and uh, I thought.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I thought we were done, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I thought, Okay, I'm I'm gonna see God next, you know,
or the devil, whichever it may be. But I thought
I'm dead.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
It just stopped.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
There was no more sound, there was no more fire,
there was no more nothing.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
It was just stopped. So I.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Waited and waited and waited nothing, you know, And finally
you could hear guys behind me stir and you know,
and and guys calling from medachs and all of this stuff.
And Buddy was on the other side. He said, Man,
I said, I couldn't figure out when I'm like sleevesh
you tell, his shirt was wet, and you know, I
had a water, you know, And it turns out it
(08:13):
was blood. But they called it Corman over and he
wrapped the thing up. They yanked me off the line
and put me back at the CPD. That was the
end of it was. They called in helicopters the next
morning to cut to evacuate us out. I had lost
my helmet and I found my helmet and the back
of that thing was caved in from the concussion from
(08:34):
that round, you know, and looking for my buddy, and
we found part of one of his boots was all
I was up to him. And so for many years
I carried that around, actually was part of him in my.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
In me, And here I.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Am today trying about it, the difference between the Vietnam
erave and one of the big ones. But when they
came back, they came back on ships. They had about
a month or three weeks or whatever it was coming
back from Germany or whatever theater they were in that
they were.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
With their buddies and the guys they went over and.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Fought with, and they had the chance to debrief and
talk about, you know, their experiences and move through some
of that stuff with people that actually understood what the
hell had been through. Vietnam wasn't like that. It came
back by myself, you know, along with a bunch of
other guys that I didn't know. You know, they just
happened to be rotating back at that time from various parts.
Some of them were in Saigon, they were all over Vietnam.
(09:36):
They had hundreds of thousands of troops there at that time.
They just didn't understand what it was like to kill people.
It's not a good thing being a sniper was probably
the proudest thing I did. Kept a lot of my
buddies allowed. I couldn't save them all. I just had
to at some point acknowledge the fact that you can't
(09:58):
save them all.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
He's hero. On news radio eight forty w h A
S I figured. I kept that intact pretty much the
entire talking points. Tried to edit it. I just couldn't
edit anything out. So that has brought you by a
horse soldier Bourbon, and I told you it was worth it.
(10:27):
It is nine minutes long. That's usually longer than I
would have wanted to play, but man, I had to
play it all. And his story is important, like a
lot of soldiers that come back. And at this point,
we're gonna have Marty Book come on and talk about
his kidney stones. Marty, you put him in for me.
(10:49):
There we are, Marty, how are you hey?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Brother?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Good buddy. I got caught a customers so I was
a little bit behind. Uh. I didn't get to catch that.
But it sounds like it's a horrible task for me
to come in and talk about kidney Stone.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I was gonna say, if you're going to come in
and talk about the pain of kidney stones. After Wednesday's Hero,
I didn't do you as as your friend. I did
not do you well.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Today, there's nothing just you know, there's nothing hero anything
about what I found out, Tony is everybody in the
world's had kidney stones. Oh yeah, it's you know, they
tell you that like when I had mine. Uh man,
I really hate chasing Wednesday's hero, but I want to
tell you a quick story. Yeah, because I learned something
(11:33):
about anatomy. Anytime you see a picture of kidneys or
like when you're in school or whatever, it's always like
two peanuts shells that's right beside each other, right, Okay, Yeah,
So I'm having this awful pain on my left side
and then finally, then all of a sudden, my right
(11:53):
side starts killing me. And it's even worse, and I'm
about to die. I mean it's I had to go
to mergency rooms, into the emergency room, and the guy
they started checking me out, and they said, there's little
blood in my pp and stuff, so they thought it
might be kinney stones. So then they did a CT
scan all that instead of kenney stones. I said, and
I kept telling the guy. I said, yeah, I understand
(12:15):
that I said, well, we need to figure out what's
what's wrong with my right side? And then he would
leave and he would come back and he start talking
about kidney stones and I said, okay, I get it,
but what's wrong with my right side? He goes kidney stones?
He goes, you got a kidney on both sides.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I hate to laugh of Sorry, I.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Thought they were together. Yeah, I did not know your
I did not know your kidneys was on each side
of your body?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (12:46):

Be proud teachers? Right now?
Speaker 5 (12:54):

Speaker 1 (12:54):
I taught him better. I taught Marty Betterer. He knows
that those kidneys. Uh now they have like laser treatments
or like where they break it up? Can you not
do that? Or are you just gonna wait this thing out?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I gotta wait it out. They're not big enough to
break them up. And there's multiples. Oh and uh and I'm
always a uh you know, a mystery of science. You know,
I fire them on both the first time I do it.
I fire them on both.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Right, you don't do anything halfway. It's like you selling trust.
You don't do anything halfway. No, no, no, no, no,
nothing okay.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Halfway anyway, Uh, I don't know. I just want to

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Well you started to complain about kidney paying after talking
about being in rice patties and watching your buddies die.
That was a powerful story and I'm glad I got
to be able to play it here on the show.
But it's every Wednesday at ten oh five. If this
is the first time you've ever heard it. We do
it every single Wednesday, and usually I produce it. But
that one I found on the internet and I said,
(15:37):
this is too good not to play in its entirety.
All right, Christian Brothers Roofing go to christianbroroofing dot com.
My nephew works there. He's worked there for about four years.
When I first started working with them, I found out
how good of a company they are, and that's why
I went to my nephew and said, dude, this is
a good company to work for. And he went, I
mean that tells you everything you need to know whether
you want them to put a roof on. Really, because
(15:59):
I'd work with businesses for the last thirty five years
and I had so much faith in this one, I said,
I'm sent a family member to go work for him.
Christian Brothers Roofing go to Christianbroroofing dot com for a
free estimate. Back after this on news Radio eight forty whas.

Pella Louisville dot com.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Uh one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Oh yes, all right, we're about twenty five thirty minutes
away from Mayor Greenberg coming in and sitting in with
us for a couple of minutes. I will ask him
about possibly starting up. Look, there's twelve year olds terrorizing
the neighborhood all over Louisville, and it's every single night.
And there's cities like Cincinnati and Memphis, Indianapolis that have
curfews for youth. And it's different ages in different times,
(17:19):
in different days. So because some sixteen seventeen year olds
they work so but being able to scoop up the
twelve year olds when you know they're running around neighborhoods
and smashing windows and all that. But if you catch
them women they're not doing it, you should be able
to have a tool in the toolbox for l MPD
or Saint Matthew's or whoever to scoop them up and
(17:41):
hold them until their parents get there.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Also on the football front, for the Louisville Kings the
UFL games, they are broadcasting ABC, ESPN.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
John Channing from the News told me that they are
on different platforms, national platforms.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
So the Lame TV is going to be your best
bet for you sling and any of like the Fox
Fox outlets.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, so well, yeah, we'll also talk to the mayor
about that one too, because there's been some positive stuff
that's happened. And then I saw him delivering some meals
also for meals on wheels, because that's part of one
of the government's shutdowns that they lose that money to
get the meals to old folks. And people just don't
realize how many old people don't have anybody else in
their lives and they cannot leave the house to get
(18:24):
a meal. So that is just crazy. But that is there,
that that number is bigger than you think. All right,
let's move on to a couple of news and notes.
President Trump said, did he p did he did? Ask
for a pardon. He's going to do four and a
half years of a possible ten year sentence. So and
I believe that is federal crime, so he has to
(18:46):
serve most of that. It's not off in good behavior
because usually if it's not a federal crime, you know,
like it's every day that you don't cause a problem
in prison, you get a day off your sentence that
they want them not to be doing stuff. So, he says,
Sean Diddy Combs has asked for a pardon. While talking
(19:07):
to reporters Monday at the White House, the President revealed,
I call him puff Daddy. He has asked me for
a pardon. Did his team reach out to the White
House right after he was sentenced Friday to fifty months
in prison. Triump didn't say whether he considered it or not.
He just said he asked me for it, and if
if I'm Seawn Diddy Combs, I asked too. I mean,
(19:31):
I think I don't know if it's fair or not.
I mean, the guy lived a lifestyle that was crazy.
He abused a lot of people. Well that's a lot
of people in Hollywood. Combs should spend some time in prison.
He looks terrible. He looks eighty years old. And that's
what a lock up will do to you. It's a
deterrent to people that that do want to be reformed,
(19:54):
because you do any time in prison or jail, you're like,
I never want to come back here. It's not a
fun place. And I believe he's going to one of
the worst penitentiaries in California, which will not be fun.
But I don't know how much money he's going to
have to be able to buy his buy his lifestyle
in prison. Like you watch all the Mafia movies, and
(20:14):
those guys live differently in prison than everyone else.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
A little bit more set up, more set up, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
A gas station in California, the dinosaur mascot was stolen,
but then returned with an apology note, Oh does it
sound like Dwight or what? A fifty pound fiberglass dinosaur
named Claire was stolen from a Los Angeles gas station
and now the thief has returned it with a note.
(20:42):
The prehistoric mascot was stolen last week and it was
all caught on video. The footage showed the person using
power tools to remove Claire, so it wasn't like he
was drunk. He pulled in. It was like, I want
that and well thought out out right through in the
back of his truck. He apparently pulled out and got
that thing off there. The story got a little bit
(21:03):
more traction on Monday when the clerk arrived at work
to see Claire had been returned, along with a note
that said, I'm sorry for stealing. Please don't charge me.
I'm gonna say drugs your alcohol were involved in that incident. Okay,
I'm not sure or not.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Dwight would have just sent the apology letter. He would
never turned the dinosaur.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Well.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
The most famous thing that he stole was a turnstile
from broad Ben Arena in his radio jacket. He was
leaving an Ice Hawks game or a RiverFrogs game, one
of the two, and him and his buddy were like,
they were the last ones to leave because they knew
people from the team and all that, so they were
there a little bit longer, so the last ones to leave,
(21:49):
and they were like, oh, this is a brand new turnstile.
It ended up in the back of Dwight's truck. He's
driving around Circle of Champions, that's the road that circles
fair Grounds. Fell out of the truck, these idiots stopped,
put it back in the truck and drove off. I
(22:10):
don't know how they didn't get caught. They had their
station jackets on it. It's clearly Dwight whitting. So he
puts it in his house so when you walked into
his house you had to walk through the turnstile.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Kronk krunk no way.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yes. And then he moved it to his basement because
he wanted to know exactly how many people came over
to and watched hockey or football at his basement in
a year, so he kept track. Now he lost track
of this turnstile. I did this story when I did
The Afternoon Underdogs on seven ninety, and I told it
(22:46):
just the way I told it, and someone called and said,
oh I have it, no way, I have the turnstile. Yes,
And I don't know what the connection with Dwight or whatever.
Nask just Dwight want it back, and Dwight, I asked Dwight,
he said, no, he can, he can he turnstile. I'm
sure those things are not cheap. No, no, not at all.
(23:08):
One too from the it was and we know that
because it was all shiny, because I when I was
over the house. I opened the door and went, come on, dude,
are you serious? And he told me the story and
it was all shiny. But then there's a counter on
the side that only had like one hundred or whatever on.
So we were like, this is a brand new turnstile,
and I guarantee those things are not cheap. No, not
(23:31):
at all, not at all all. Right, So I have
a list I'm going to do a little bit later
in the show. This is a you know, they just
asked Reddit or whatever, like what have you done to
get revenge on your exes? And some of them are
just flat out mean, and some of them are like
I get it, I get it. But you're going to
(23:52):
be leaving here soon because you're going to Genesis Diamonds.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Right, We're going to be looking at a wedding bands.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
That is my place, bro. Genesis Diamonds has the best,
I'm telling you, the best designer rings. You can't find
these rings anywhere else, and the price is right. You're
gonna love Genuss Diamonds. So it's who's taking care of you,
Eddie or.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
It's gonna be Eddie.

folks there are awesome. I can't argue with that. Man,

Speaker 7 (24:26):
Yes, we are already got her the engagement ring. So
we're just looking at the the bands. What what's gonna
go with her ring?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
And then I.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Guess the guys get the their ring, right, Sure, it's.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
It's not it's not as cool she gets to go
show her diamond off to everybody and have like nothing.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah, it's just a gold or silver or whatever you
want ring. I've lost mine so many times. I just
buy the cheap. The last one I had was a
rubber one. It was just rubber.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Yeah, I'm a little I'm a little bit nervous for it.
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
No, it's it's lost. Even after my dad died. Uh,
they had we were all in the room and he
was body with there and they had a bag of
his things and I was like, mom, you want this,
this is his ring, and she's like, well, that's the Uh,
that's the third that's the third.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
One I purchased him.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
So good luck with that though. It's going to be awesome,
Eland and Edlin. You want to uh, you want to
go with Eland and Italy. If you're selling your house, Look,
you're buying rings at Genesis. I've got you all set
up if you're if you are on your way to
life because Elin and Eland buying are selling one percent
commission rate. That is it so and no surprise charges
(25:30):
in the paperwork. They'll take care of you. So keep
the equity in your home when you sell it, or
if you're buying one percent commission rate. They sold one
half of all the one percent deals last year. They're
the experts when it comes to that. Keep the money.
Keep the equity in your pocket. Elin and Edlin call
five nine nine eight hundred. That's the owner's cell phone
back after this. Keep it where you got it, News Ready.
(25:52):
Eight forty wh Ans
Welcome Back Out number two. Of course, on Wednesdays at
this time we do Wednesday's Hero little something different. I
pulled this story from the Internet and it is a
story of a marine sniper in Vietnam, and basically it's
a little longer than I usually have, but and I
tried to edit it, and I went, you know, what,
(00:22):
this guy's story should be told. And I think that
if you're in your car now trying to get out,
you're going to sit here for the next nine minutes.
So here is his story. And he starts with they
came into his barracks. Go ahead, Austin, and.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Anybody that has more than a year to do is
going to the Vietnam. They ask, you know, who wanted
to be a sniper? I was young in Gung Ho
and I thought, man, I want to do that, you know,
And so anyway I went through it and became a sniper.
In those days, it was Scott sniper. And what we
would do is we'd go out on reconnaissance missions and
we'd find out where the enemy is and not to
(01:00):
engage them because it's a reconnaissance missions.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
You're not armed for that.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
You're not you're not into that you're trying to snooping
and pooping and hiding and you know, camoufage and all
that stuff. We'd do our little mission and we'd come
back to base and and try to get back through
the lines without getting wasted. We were out in like
on our first patrol operations, starlight and we're bopping along,
(01:23):
you know, and he steps on a landmine and it
was one of those that don't go off right. You
can hear you can hear them click. There's a delayed
fuseing him. And that's kind of the way this mind was.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And he told us.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
All to get back and get down, and which we
did and basically saved our lives, but just blew him
all the hell.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
You know. It was.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Vietnam in a lot of ways, was a series of
my buddy's dying. But when that one happened, something snapped
at me and I became I just had this thought
inside of me, I was gonna kill as many as
little son of it as I possibly could, And that
was kind of what I did.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
We send us out on this one mission, uh where
this guy comes up in the soap box in the
afternoon about three o'clock or whatever it was, and and
he gets up on a little soap box preaching his
communist bs to the to the people in the village.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And and our job was to take his out.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And we went and set up on the hill, you know,
early in the morning before the sun ever came up,
and took a fire team to guard our rear. And
he and I would take turns on the on the binoculars,
cause after a while it was was really powerful. Binoculars
are great for sea and but after a while your
eyeballs are ready.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
To fall out. You got to take a break.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
And so we would as as a day wore on,
you know, we would keep adjusting our weapons for windage
and you know, sunlight and all those things affect the.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Strike of the bullet. So we would do that all day.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Long until this guy came out, and then whoever happened
to be on the rifle at the time would would
take the shot. He'd be on the ground before the
sound ever got there. Nicki Chappelle was a female reporter
h that she landed with Marines when they landed in the
New Gmail and uh work Corse moment and just what
an incredible, incredible woman, tough as nailsman would sit.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Her on the fire night she'd tell these stories.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Man, It's like she her language was worse than the Marines,
and I didn't think that was possible, but it was
like she was a trip and I loved that gal.
And she was with us for about a week. And
we were out on this this operation and somebody in
front of her trip to a trip wire and this
(03:30):
thing went off and a chunk of the shop and
the cut her throat and she died right there.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
And it's beatty in Vietnam. I'm sorry about the language.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
But we were at our base cap in Chui early
in the morning and then we get this call that
helicopter has been down. They bring in a number of
choppers and Hall or company out there, which you know
it's our company. And when we start to land, we
can't land because we're taking incoming fire. And they just
(04:01):
kind of flew over and we jumped out the door
and into rice patties, and you know, we stumbled into
a VC headquarters. They were starting to a mass. They
had a couple of battalions from what I understand of
battalions there that they were going to mass and assault
us in July and got over on us. Well, when
(04:24):
we went out to guardless down chopper, we set up
a perimeter around it, and the rice patties were in
that area.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Where uneven They were like you know, tiered.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I'm sure that you've seen pictures of them, but you
have a burm up on one of them that keeps
the water from it running down into the next one,
you know. So that's how they're separated. And so we
wound up in this one that was kind of in
a low area where this chopper was and where the
Marines what was left of them. So we called in
air strikes all day long, we called in naval gunfire,
on artillery, everything we could think of to bring the
(04:55):
bear on these guys. And they were still just you know,
we were in a storm. There's no other way of put it.
And he used accat guns on us. They had fifty calibers,
had everything you could think of, and we were way
way out numbered. We didn't know that at the time.
We just knew we were in the middle of a
terrible fight. And uh so we kept shooting. And my
(05:16):
rifle I had an in one grand was my sniper rifle,
and I only had a limited amount of ammunition and
one of my buddies he got hit pretty bad. Three
got hit up here on a shoulder and both shoulders actually,
and another one too here and drug his off the line,
and I gave him my rifle because I was I
am anyway, and I took his, so I had something
(05:36):
to fight with at least, And we spent all day
long doing that and taking incoming fire. And then they
had more to the cabin and then physically assault this
and this went on all day and into the night,
and I know it must have been about one two
o'clock in the morning. I was laying kind of like this,
kind of laying back taking it, trying to grab some
z's and my buddy's on the watch and he's like,
(05:57):
from maybe here to that planter, and uh, you hear that, Well,
you've got about I don't know how many probably eight
seconds or less, but from the time you hear that
to the time that it's back down on you exploding.
So I heard that and I knew they were they
were at it again, and so I grabbed my rifle
and went over to get down flat and as I did,
(06:21):
the round hit on my buddy's position, and uh, I
got I got hit in the right elbow from shrapnel.
And also I didn't know it at the time. I
didn't realize it at the time that the concussion from
it had like picked me up and thrown me forward.
(06:42):
And all I can all I know is that I
was buried. I didn't know if I was alive. I
didn't know if I was dead. I couldn't hear anything,
I couldn't see anything, couldn't feel anything. But really thought
I was dead for a second, you know, I thought
maybe I'm dead, you know, I don't know. So I
laid there, but something something in my brain or wherever
kicked in and said, you know, the next thing's gonna happen.
Here they're gonnassault us. And so I knew I needed
(07:04):
to get up and get ready for that. You know,
I kind of got myself up enough to rent shook
my head whatever I did to get back to a
defensive positions. Here here they come, you know, they crawling, snooping,
you know, snooping.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Along the ground.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And I was down to probably my last magazine there
less than a magazine of rounds left. So I waited
until they got about from me to you, and and
I opened up on the ones that I could see,
and uh, I thought.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I thought we were done, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I thought, Okay, I'm I'm gonna see God next, you know,
or the devil, whichever it may be. But I thought
I'm dead.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
It just stopped.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
There was no more sound, there was no more fire,
there was no more nothing.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
It was just stopped. So I.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Waited and waited and waited nothing, you know, And finally
you could hear guys behind me stir and you know,
and and guys calling from medachs and all of this stuff.
And Buddy was on the other side. He said, Man,
I said, I couldn't figure out when I'm like sleevesh
you tell, his shirt was wet, and you know, I
had a water, you know, And it turns out it
(08:13):
was blood. But they called it Corman over and he
wrapped the thing up. They yanked me off the line
and put me back at the CPD. That was the
end of it was. They called in helicopters the next
morning to cut to evacuate us out. I had lost
my helmet and I found my helmet and the back
of that thing was caved in from the concussion from
(08:34):
that round, you know, and looking for my buddy, and
we found part of one of his boots was all
I was up to him. And so for many years
I carried that around, actually was part of him in my.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
In me, And here I.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Am today trying about it, the difference between the Vietnam
erave and one of the big ones. But when they
came back, they came back on ships. They had about
a month or three weeks or whatever it was coming
back from Germany or whatever theater they were in that
they were.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
With their buddies and the guys they went over and.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Fought with, and they had the chance to debrief and
talk about, you know, their experiences and move through some
of that stuff with people that actually understood what the
hell had been through. Vietnam wasn't like that. It came
back by myself, you know, along with a bunch of
other guys that I didn't know. You know, they just
happened to be rotating back at that time from various parts.
Some of them were in Saigon, they were all over Vietnam.
(09:36):
They had hundreds of thousands of troops there at that time.
They just didn't understand what it was like to kill people.
It's not a good thing being a sniper was probably
the proudest thing I did. Kept a lot of my
buddies allowed. I couldn't save them all. I just had
to at some point acknowledge the fact that you can't
(09:58):
save them all.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
He's hero. On news radio eight forty w h A
S I figured. I kept that intact pretty much the
entire talking points. Tried to edit it. I just couldn't
edit anything out. So that has brought you by a
horse soldier Bourbon, and I told you it was worth it.
(10:27):
It is nine minutes long. That's usually longer than I
would have wanted to play, but man, I had to
play it all. And his story is important, like a
lot of soldiers that come back. And at this point,
we're gonna have Marty Book come on and talk about
his kidney stones. Marty, you put him in for me.
(10:49):
There we are, Marty, how are you hey?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Brother?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Good buddy. I got caught a customers so I was
a little bit behind. Uh. I didn't get to catch that.
But it sounds like it's a horrible task for me
to come in and talk about kidney Stone.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I was gonna say, if you're going to come in
and talk about the pain of kidney stones. After Wednesday's Hero,
I didn't do you as as your friend. I did
not do you well.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Today, there's nothing just you know, there's nothing hero anything
about what I found out, Tony is everybody in the
world's had kidney stones. Oh yeah, it's you know, they
tell you that like when I had mine. Uh man,
I really hate chasing Wednesday's hero, but I want to
tell you a quick story. Yeah, because I learned something
(11:33):
about anatomy. Anytime you see a picture of kidneys or
like when you're in school or whatever, it's always like
two peanuts shells that's right beside each other, right, Okay, Yeah,
So I'm having this awful pain on my left side
and then finally, then all of a sudden, my right
(11:53):
side starts killing me. And it's even worse, and I'm
about to die. I mean it's I had to go
to mergency rooms, into the emergency room, and the guy
they started checking me out, and they said, there's little
blood in my pp and stuff, so they thought it
might be kinney stones. So then they did a CT
scan all that instead of kenney stones. I said, and
I kept telling the guy. I said, yeah, I understand
(12:15):
that I said, well, we need to figure out what's
what's wrong with my right side? And then he would
leave and he would come back and he start talking
about kidney stones and I said, okay, I get it,
but what's wrong with my right side? He goes kidney stones?
He goes, you got a kidney on both sides.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I hate to laugh of Sorry, I.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Thought they were together. Yeah, I did not know your
I did not know your kidneys was on each side
of your body?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
What high school did you go to?
Speaker 4 (12:49):
North Herriston?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Be proud teachers? Right now?
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Are going?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I taught him better. I taught Marty Betterer. He knows
that those kidneys. Uh now they have like laser treatments
or like where they break it up? Can you not
do that? Or are you just gonna wait this thing out?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I gotta wait it out. They're not big enough to
break them up. And there's multiples. Oh and uh and I'm
always a uh you know, a mystery of science. You know,
I fire them on both the first time I do it.
I fire them on both.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Right, you don't do anything halfway. It's like you selling trust.
You don't do anything halfway. No, no, no, no, no,
nothing okay.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Halfway anyway, Uh, I don't know. I just want to
drop in and say, Hi, we're gonna be on Friday. Well, yeah,

Had some big shoes to fill, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Well you started to complain about kidney paying after talking
about being in rice patties and watching your buddies die.
That was a powerful story and I'm glad I got
to be able to play it here on the show.
But it's every Wednesday at ten oh five. If this
is the first time you've ever heard it. We do
it every single Wednesday, and usually I produce it. But
that one I found on the internet and I said,
(15:37):
this is too good not to play in its entirety.
All right, Christian Brothers Roofing go to christianbroroofing dot com.
My nephew works there. He's worked there for about four years.
When I first started working with them, I found out
how good of a company they are, and that's why
I went to my nephew and said, dude, this is
a good company to work for. And he went, I
mean that tells you everything you need to know whether
you want them to put a roof on. Really, because
(15:59):
I'd work with businesses for the last thirty five years
and I had so much faith in this one, I said,
I'm sent a family member to go work for him.
Christian Brothers Roofing go to Christianbroroofing dot com for a
free estimate. Back after this on news Radio eight forty whas.

Pella Louisville dot com.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Uh one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Oh yes, all right, we're about twenty five thirty minutes
away from Mayor Greenberg coming in and sitting in with
us for a couple of minutes. I will ask him
about possibly starting up. Look, there's twelve year olds terrorizing
the neighborhood all over Louisville, and it's every single night.
And there's cities like Cincinnati and Memphis, Indianapolis that have
curfews for youth. And it's different ages in different times,
(17:19):
in different days. So because some sixteen seventeen year olds
they work so but being able to scoop up the
twelve year olds when you know they're running around neighborhoods
and smashing windows and all that. But if you catch
them women they're not doing it, you should be able
to have a tool in the toolbox for l MPD
or Saint Matthew's or whoever to scoop them up and
(17:41):
hold them until their parents get there.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Also on the football front, for the Louisville Kings the
UFL games, they are broadcasting ABC, ESPN.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
John Channing from the News told me that they are
on different platforms, national platforms.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
So the Lame TV is going to be your best
bet for you sling and any of like the Fox
Fox outlets.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, so well, yeah, we'll also talk to the mayor
about that one too, because there's been some positive stuff
that's happened. And then I saw him delivering some meals
also for meals on wheels, because that's part of one
of the government's shutdowns that they lose that money to
get the meals to old folks. And people just don't
realize how many old people don't have anybody else in
their lives and they cannot leave the house to get
(18:24):
a meal. So that is just crazy. But that is there,
that that number is bigger than you think. All right,
let's move on to a couple of news and notes.
President Trump said, did he p did he did? Ask
for a pardon. He's going to do four and a
half years of a possible ten year sentence. So and
I believe that is federal crime, so he has to
(18:46):
serve most of that. It's not off in good behavior
because usually if it's not a federal crime, you know,
like it's every day that you don't cause a problem
in prison, you get a day off your sentence that
they want them not to be doing stuff. So, he says,
Sean Diddy Combs has asked for a pardon. While talking
(19:07):
to reporters Monday at the White House, the President revealed,
I call him puff Daddy. He has asked me for
a pardon. Did his team reach out to the White
House right after he was sentenced Friday to fifty months
in prison. Triump didn't say whether he considered it or not.
He just said he asked me for it, and if
if I'm Seawn Diddy Combs, I asked too. I mean,
(19:31):
I think I don't know if it's fair or not.
I mean, the guy lived a lifestyle that was crazy.
He abused a lot of people. Well that's a lot
of people in Hollywood. Combs should spend some time in prison.
He looks terrible. He looks eighty years old. And that's
what a lock up will do to you. It's a
deterrent to people that that do want to be reformed,
(19:54):
because you do any time in prison or jail, you're like,
I never want to come back here. It's not a
fun place. And I believe he's going to one of
the worst penitentiaries in California, which will not be fun.
But I don't know how much money he's going to
have to be able to buy his buy his lifestyle
in prison. Like you watch all the Mafia movies, and
(20:14):
those guys live differently in prison than everyone else.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
A little bit more set up, more set up, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
A gas station in California, the dinosaur mascot was stolen,
but then returned with an apology note, Oh does it
sound like Dwight or what? A fifty pound fiberglass dinosaur
named Claire was stolen from a Los Angeles gas station
and now the thief has returned it with a note.
(20:42):
The prehistoric mascot was stolen last week and it was
all caught on video. The footage showed the person using
power tools to remove Claire, so it wasn't like he
was drunk. He pulled in. It was like, I want
that and well thought out out right through in the
back of his truck. He apparently pulled out and got
that thing off there. The story got a little bit
(21:03):
more traction on Monday when the clerk arrived at work
to see Claire had been returned, along with a note
that said, I'm sorry for stealing. Please don't charge me.
I'm gonna say drugs your alcohol were involved in that incident. Okay,
I'm not sure or not.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Dwight would have just sent the apology letter. He would
never turned the dinosaur.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Well.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
The most famous thing that he stole was a turnstile
from broad Ben Arena in his radio jacket. He was
leaving an Ice Hawks game or a RiverFrogs game, one
of the two, and him and his buddy were like,
they were the last ones to leave because they knew
people from the team and all that, so they were
there a little bit longer, so the last ones to leave,
(21:49):
and they were like, oh, this is a brand new turnstile.
It ended up in the back of Dwight's truck. He's
driving around Circle of Champions, that's the road that circles
fair Grounds. Fell out of the truck, these idiots stopped,
put it back in the truck and drove off. I
(22:10):
don't know how they didn't get caught. They had their
station jackets on it. It's clearly Dwight whitting. So he
puts it in his house so when you walked into
his house you had to walk through the turnstile.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Kronk krunk no way.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yes. And then he moved it to his basement because
he wanted to know exactly how many people came over
to and watched hockey or football at his basement in
a year, so he kept track. Now he lost track
of this turnstile. I did this story when I did
The Afternoon Underdogs on seven ninety, and I told it
(22:46):

One too from the it was and we know that
because it was all shiny, because I when I was
over the house. I opened the door and went, come on, dude,
are you serious? And he told me the story and
it was all shiny. But then there's a counter on
the side that only had like one hundred or whatever on.
So we were like, this is a brand new turnstile,
and I guarantee those things are not cheap. No, not
(23:31):

a list I'm going to do a little bit later

So good luck with that though. It's going to be awesome,
Eland and Edlin. You want to uh, you want to
go with Eland and Italy. If you're selling your house, Look,
you're buying rings at Genesis. I've got you all set
up if you're if you are on your way to
life because Elin and Eland buying are selling one percent
commission rate. That is it so and no surprise charges
(25:30):
in the paperwork. They'll take care of you. So keep
the equity in your home when you sell it, or
if you're buying one percent commission rate. They sold one
half of all the one percent deals last year. They're
the experts when it comes to that. Keep the money.
Keep the equity in your pocket. Elin and Edlin call
five nine nine eight hundred. That's the owner's cell phone
back after this. Keep it where you got it, News Ready.
