Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back our number three news radio eight forty whas,
like Jack Fox said, we were brought to you by
the Kentucky Office of Highways Safety. Please slow down in
the construction zones. Buckle up, stay off your phone, nah,
And construction zones are every way I go to anything
(00:20):
I do in this town, No kid, it's anywhere. It
doesn't matter what route I take to wherever I'm going,
there is construction. It is crazy, especially downtown.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
How about that crazy street that caved in in Jaytown.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
They are saying it's going to be a while to
get that thing fixed, and I get it, and I
get it. But when you get that much rain again,
the former MSD guy used to when he had press conferences,
more water fell from the sky than we can take
and disperse. So when that water gets under there, it
starts to erode and all of it takes is just
a little bit and boom. But that is a busy area,
(00:55):
so it is avoid it at all costs. And again
it's just another This is the most construction I've ever
seen downtown. And it's not like a big project. It's
just like this street's blocked, that street's blocked, that that
lane at least is blocked. It's ever reway or raw.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I'll tell you what, I'll be glad when they get
the roof on the Young Center because I usually come
down Third Street and.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Go straight up Third Street. Take it right on, Muhammad Ali,
you got it. Yeah, well you can't do that.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
No, I got to go down the fourth right, work
your way back over to the third.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
That's why I started popping sixty five South and then
Jefferson Street and going up to third and taking left. Yes. Yeah,
but they have one lane blocked on that exit. But
it runs really smooth, even though they're squeezing it to
one lane to tell you that Jefferson exits chefferd Street exit,
it runs pretty smooth. That's why I go every day.
(01:48):
It's not a backup. Usually it's backed up, but it moves.
There's a difference between backed up, installed or backed up
and moving. So they're doing a pretty good job with that.
I'm gonna try to get Joe Lincoln in here. We're
gonna give him advice, all right, old dude, Okay, I
have a list. Here are a few things older guys
say they tell their younger sells. It's they had a chance.
(02:11):
Now this list. And by the way, let's talk about
sauceretas real quick. I have a list here. You know
these are this This is the list that we all
we don't take our own advice. You know, the advice
is good, but we don't take our own advice. Joe's
going to join us right now. But first I'm gonna
mention sauceritus. Joe, I'm I'm pulling you here because this
is advice from old man to young men segment. Are
(02:34):
you good with that?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Looking forward to it?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Okay? All right, you look like a very squared away
young man, so I think you're going to be most
of this this list. Uh, but first, saucerritas, folks, this
mark your calendar Saturday, October twenty sixth that Saucerita is
in Saint Matthew's Family Friendly silent Disco. Joe, have you
ever been to a silent disco with the headphones?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I have on a cruise once at time.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
It was a good time. Oh yeah, it's a little weird.
If you don't have the headphones on.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
You have to have the head it's on. That is key.
At the silent disco, ladies.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
And gentlemen, people are dancing around, yes, with you know,
sac phones on it.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It's a little weird when you walk in cause you
see people moving and shaking and you're like, what the
heck is happening.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
But it's a big thing. There's like a Louisville disco
guy that's doing it and he's making a ton of
money too. But catering for any of the of the
Halloween or any of those issues, go to Saucerratas dot
com or three locations, including the new one in Shepherdsville
Sauceritas Fresh Mexican Grill. They have the new double taco
where you do the soft tako around the hard taco
and you can choose the caso or the refried beans
(03:34):
to make the glue on the either outside. It's delicious.
That's the one I happened. Okay, we'll say this list.
I'm gonna say this list to you, and it's a
Reddit or something or wherever I got this story. The
thing is we don't follow our own advice. You know,
it's really you know, you know the advice, and you're
just like, why don't I I tell other people this,
do as I say.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Not, that's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
We can't help, but do it like this first one.
This is advice from older guy to younger guy. How
old are you?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I'm twenty three.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Twenty three. I love it. Who cares what anyone else
thinks about you?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
You know what. It's something that my father has said
to me for years. He's like, you know what, as
you get older, you start to give less of a
grap about everything, and you know, you're just kind of
you're doing your own thing. I think when we're this
age and social media with how crazy it is right now,
it's just the way it is. People are going to
be more in their head.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You can't help but think about it. Sure, because you're
self conscious. If you if you're a person that completely
doesn't care about what anybody thinks, you're probably you're probably
an a you know, you're probably a jerk.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
You have to care for a little bit right until
you don't care, because you know, I feel like you
have to make a name for yourself and show people
that you know, maybe you are worth something.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Well well, and I want and there's certain people you
want to impress. Your mentors, people like that, teachers, former
teachers and stuff. You want to make them proud. So
this is a good representative because Rick is really old.
I'm medium old and you're young. Rick, did when did
you how old are you? Son?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I am seventy three, seventy.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Three years young?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Did you?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Have you ever stopped? When? Did you stop caring what
other people think?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
No, it's been quite a while. I love it.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Uh, build yourself a strong work ethic, Joe. I believe
that you've already probably got that.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
It's it's okay the fact that I'm here. Should you know?
That's that's something right?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I think there's a lot of people my age that
would rather just sit in bed and kind of yeah,
do that sort of delio right now. But you know
it's I you know what, I think it's fun. I
got to have something to do. Also, I'm not one
of those guys that can just sit back and and
chill out. I got to be doing something.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
You've got to do something.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I'm gonna I'm gonna drive myself crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I think this is what generation, what what era you
are in your life? Like if you're just starting in
your career, sorry, you're going to have a life. If
you want to make it work in this industry or
whatever industry you're in, you got to put in the hours.
You got to tell them if you if you want
me here late on Friday, I'll be here till monday.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
You got to do that kind of attitude when you're
building it once you have a family that I made
a choice when I did sports radio and whatever, moved
to sports radio and did whatever. I was like, I
couldn't be in bars anymore for rock radio. But I
was not going to put my entire life into this industry. Sure, right,
I was going to go to work. I was going
to do my best, but I was going to be
home for the family, like right, But there were people
that chose work and they're never home and they're never
(06:35):
with their kids. You have a short window with your kids, man,
So that is a certain thing your work ethic. Rick,
you think you're still working you're seventy three.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, well you know, I've retired from my full time
job five years ago. Okay, so I've been part time
here at iHeart.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Did you get bored?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
How long?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
How fast did it take for you got bored.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
At my regular job? Well after you retired pretty fast,
pretty pretty fast.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Whenever they asked me to come in to do something
it's I'll be there, you know, because I I can't
sit around. I mean, I got to be doing something.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah, that's me too.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I think that's a similar trait with all people that
make something of themselves.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yes, yeah, fact, I find myself getting more tired if
I just body emotion.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, body emotion. There's no doubtatly. Here's the biggest one.
And I say this to whenever I speak to I
spoke at Trinity High School the other day. Don't fear risk.
It's the only Here's the advice I always give give
my kids and what I did. Put yourself in rooms
you don't belong in and figure out a way to stay.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Risks are everything.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
That's one of the things that when I got into
doing this in college, you are, you are like deer
in the headlights constantly.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I remember my first big gig was doing Big ten
media days in Lucas Oil Stadium.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Nice and you're looking up.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
You're like, oh my gosh, that's James Franklin, right, whoever.
You know, You're just like, it's this, this is crazy.
I'm never going to talk to those guys. And then
you do it. You're like, oh, they're just people.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, they're just dudes.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
They're just dudes.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Oh, they're just dudes. And if they're a head coach
of a division one, they're probably liars.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
So so true.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Sorry, it's the truth. To get through that level you got. Hey,
the best recruiters are the best liars. That's period, period.
But you have to take risks, and some people just
stay where they are because they don't they I don't
know why. The reason that would be they don't believe
in themselves, or they don't want that risk, or they're
comfortable here. If you're comfortable, you're not in the right spot.
(08:37):
You're not in the right spot if you are totally comfortable,
because that's it seems like that generation, your generation wants
to be in a comfort zone and that is the
worst place to be if you're trying to achieve.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
So what do you think about this whole work from
home dynamic? Does that put you in your comfort zone? Perennially?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I mean, yes, you know it does. It does. It's
a twofold because your office now is open twenty four hours.
You're going to be answering emails at five and eleven pm, right,
so your office is open all the time. But it
is you have to be around people. You're not going
to grow as a human if you're not hanging out
with other humans. One of the kids asked me, uh,
(09:14):
you know afterwards it was a Q and A and
he he goes, I want to become an author, And
I said, you got to go live life. I was like,
you go to college whatever, you want to do that,
but if you're if you're going to write, you don't
really need to go to college. But you got to
go be a cook at Hooters for six months. Moved
to Oklahoma, moved to New York, moved to Atlanta. You
got to live life. What are you going to write about?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Just absorb other people's stories and information.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
And you you you collect characters, right, the true right
the guy that kind of has the twitch, that is
cooking with you at Hooters, that's a guy now a
character in your book. Right?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
You know a dude who can't cook a chicken wing
with I go one five minutes with that cigarette.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You know, I encourage him to go into radio because
there's plenty of characters in this industry, all right. Oh yeah?
And Rick back in in the seven nineteen early seventies
in radio.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Oh boy, Oh yeah, old.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Boy, Yeah you got there. You go all right? Learn
how to manage your money responsibly?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh come on, yeah, Dave Ramsey, Baby, oh boy, that's
a big one.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Oh boy, do we ever figure that out? I get.
Look the people that are discipline enough to just spend cash,
good for you. I just can't. I live my life
with we. Look, we wouldn't buy seventy five percent of
what we buy if we didn't have credit cards. If
you had to pay cash for the new TV, you
wouldn't buy the new TV. But I'm not that person.
(10:36):
I have a credit card, So I'm going to buy
the new eighty five inch TV.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
And they're all linked to our Amazon accounts and you
can do it in thirteen seconds. Yeah, no problem.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Click. So now, don't be crazy and don't get yourself
in crazy debt, but learn how to manage your money.
And again, it used to be simple because you had
When you had a checkbook, you had to write out.
You had to write it out, and it hurts if
you did the cause you if you met minus, you
had the minus taking that away, and it hurt more.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Now click, I think I've wrote two checks in my
entire life.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Wow, would you.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I mean, it's just you know, my father was like,
I'm gonna sit you down and I'm gonna have you
learn how to do this. And like a year later
he's like, you're probably.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
You don't need this. Yeah, you don't need this. Can
you write in cursive? Of course? Okay, Well there's a
whole lot of folks. They stopped teaching it.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I think it was like a couple of years after
I did it. It was second grade that I got it,
and they were like, yeah, we're doing away with it
because it doesn't matter. But in college, I had a
freshman year English class where the professor said, you're going
to write all of your essays out in front of
me in cursive And I said.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
What, God, well, in these days and times, and that's
not a bad tactic.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
With the A right and all that, and that's what
they're going back to.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, I don't know if they embed that stuff with that,
but I never I'm never in to a point to
where if I have if you have kids, sporting teams
need checks, right, screams need checks right. Uh, they're not
all set up online. So I have an issue like
I haven't written cursive in a year or two, and
I'm like, okay, how do I how do I.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Make except for your signature? Right?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I know your signature is the only thing, and I'm
starting to become really lazy with that. But I mean,
you don't do your when you do your finger on
there's there's the you know, when you do your finger
thing on the whatever, it's like your signature.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, my cignature looks like a blob.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Anytime you have to sign it a place on a touchpad,
it's a scribble and a squeak and you're done.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yes. We used to have the the the experts that
would come in and break you down just from your handwriting.
So we would have them come on the show. We
would all write something out like a sentence, incursive or
whatever it was, and then he would the person that
was the expert, the handwriting expert would tell you you're
a cycle path or you're walk Oh yeah absolutely, they're like, no,
(12:51):
this is cycle paths, you're you're a narcissist, or you're whatever,
or I'm telling you. They they from your handwriting back
then again when you to do it all the time.
But those handwriting experts are the way you cross your tea.
That's how people got, you know, criminally busted. Right, wow, right, okay,
here's a big one that you're gonna You're twenty three,
(13:12):
so you have knuckleheads still in your group. Of course,
be smart on who you keep in your circle, the
toxic folks, and you'll know who they are because they're
always complaining. Drama follows them everywhere. Yeah, it's always somebody
else's fault. Yeah, I get fired again. Hey could you
give me a ride? My car's not working? And you
(13:34):
do that in your twenties, Yeah, magically when you turn
twenty nine, for some reason, you kind of look around
and you see who's left. You're like, oh, oh man, drama,
somebody drama? Are you into that? Now you have a
good friend group.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I am being blessed with an incredible friend group, thankfully.
You know, there have been the occasion, there's been the
occasional bad apple that you're just like that, that dude's
not gonna yeah, that dude's not gonna be riding with
us much lighter. And the thing is it tends to
work itself out. You don't have to like push away
or anything. You're like that dude stopped showing up a
while ago.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Uh is it the your generation of I guess it
would be you take them out of the group text
and start a new text line and they're.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Part of it. You know, there's the ghosting thing, you
know that you can do.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Yes, well, that would be ghosting if you take him
out of the chain, right, Yeah, there's got to be
a new word for that.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I mean, I haven't I'm not really familiar with the
term for starting group chat and exiting one person out
of it. But yeah, no, there's definitely there's definitely side chats,
you know.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and people we've I've got
thirteen on ours and we've added one in the last
like whatever, there's thirteen people. But when you get added in.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
It's a big moment to add somebody into the group.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yes, that's a big time, dude, I've gone that.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
It's very sparing when it happens, but you know, when
it does happen, you're like, welcome in.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
All those guys are the most successful people, right, we
all grew up high schoo Wagner, Trinity and saye next guys,

Well, you're probably you hit it pretty much on the
head to your late twenties. I've got my best buddy.
I've known him since the first grade, since we were
six years old.

I've got a group like that together since grade school
through high school, college. There were people that you know,
went away came back. I've had two guys that retired colonels,
so they obviously went away for twenty five years, but
when they retired, they came back to Louisville raise the
rest of their kids there here in Louisville. But it's
(15:51):
I feel lucky because I've got that group and they
know all the secrets too, all the secrets everyone's got.

Right. Yeah, yeah, we're kind of tired of that too.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Your friends are like, Andrew's on the radio, what happened?
But this is a fun event. People go every single
year and tell everybody what is going to go on.
It's Sunday, correct, It.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Is Sunday from noon until eight. We started this event
about eleven years ago to raise money for Twisted Pink
and Hope Scarves, two organizations in town that raise money
for metastatic breast cancer research, something that my wife has
been battling for about eleven years now. So we will
(18:15):
have three giant tribugets, kind of think about the Monty
Python scene where they're throwing a cow over the over
the side of the thing. We're throwing pumpkins out into
the river to try to hit some floating targets, and
each person can come up and buy a pumpkin. It's
ten dollars for the pumpkin. All that money goes to
the charity. We launched their pumpkin into the river to
(18:36):
try to hit this target. If they hit a target,
We've had a ton of restaurants, local restaurants that have
donated GEFT certificates and that person will win a Geest certificate.
But on top of that, we've got a great food court.
We have live music playing until eight o'clock. We're doing
helicopter rides. We have flyover planned. I mean, it's just
gonna be a full day of just fun and.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Last helicopter rides. How is that going to work? Are
they going to land right there on the they are, yes, okay.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Yes, we've got a good spot for him. Uh set
aside and yeah they took me up yesterday to kind
of test test rut it, and uh, you're actually gonna
be able to drop a pumpkin out of the helicopter
and try to hit one of the targets. So if that,
if that doesn't sound scary to you, I don't know
what's up. Now.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
What happens if you hit the target? Do you win
something or do you just get you.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Get Yeah, there were a whole bunch of restaurants in
town have have donated to help the call?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Okay, gotcha one of those restaurants. Yeah, all right, Andrew,
I know your family very well. We belong to the
same parish, and I know your lovely wife, and you know,
we do all this stuff and it's fun, but it
goes to a good cause. What was that like for you, Uh,
when when she found out that and you found out
the family found out that that she was going to
(19:53):
have to deal with this again eleven years ago. I'm
sure it's just like it was yesterday. What was that
like when you heard the news?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Yeah, it was. It was pretty shocking. Of course, we
all had had young kids at the time, and you know,
we're trying to we're thinking of the worst and how
are we going to get through this? And uh, it
was a battle. But these two organizations hoped scarves and
twisted pink. They were there on day one. There what
can we do to help it? You know, it's it's
there's here's what we can you know, provide you for
(20:21):
emotional support for you know, just just everything. They were
They totally had our bikes and held our hands through
a lot of it. And I just had to I
had to find a way to get back to them.
And I knew we had this venue here along the
river and we do events all the time, and I
didn't want just another walk. I didn't want another cook off.
I wanted to do something different and fine. So that's
why we came up with this.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Well, who came up with this? Who came up with that?
Who's it was?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
It was? It was me?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Unfortunately, what can we launch and hit a target I've
always wanted to hit some of these silly boats are
out there anyway?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Uh So I get, okay, here's another dumb question. So
there is traffic on the on the river, you're going
to try not to hit a boat that's traveling course?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Of course, of course we have you know, the coast Guard,
the police, the Sheriff's department, everybody's involved. We're not throwing
out into the middle of the river. We're actually just
throwing up river about one hundred yards off the cour Yeah,
so it's not that, you know, we we use all
the latest safety measures to prevent that from happening. Of course, is.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
The fall the best time to go to cqs. You're
probably gonna say all year around, Tony, but it is
it is right.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
It is. It's unfortunately with the construction on River Road
it's a little challenging. You have to come from a
Wolfpen branch or up forty two from Prospect, but the
water Company's made a little bit more challenging this year.
But fall is absolutely beautiful on the river. Just bring
a sweater or sweatshirt to sit outside and just sitting
in the lawn and and enjoy the sights and sounds
(22:01):
and smells. It's just it's a good.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Time, awesome. Captain's Quarters Sunday starts at noon, goes till
eight o'clock. They're going to try to hit a target
in the river. Until you see it, you can't believe it.
And now they've added helicopter rise to hit targets. Not
dropping turkeys out like w krap. But it's pumpkins and
you get to do that, which sounds like a lot
of fun. Andrew tell everybody we said hi. Tell your wife,
(22:26):
we said hi, and we send our love.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Thanks so much, Tonty, take care you got it.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
But great family, great family business. Over one hundred years. Masterson's.
Remember they used to have a place downtown on UVL campus.
And I always tell this story Ted Washington is one
of the best football players to ever play for ULEVL.
He was in NFL All Pro every single year he
(22:52):
played down linemen. He was unstoppable when he played for
Howard Snellenberger. But I interviewed him one time and he said,
I don't know, we brought up campus or whatever. He goes,
you know that Masterston's restaurant. I said yeah. He was like,
that's why I went to Louisville and I went what
And he said they had a steak fried biscuit sandwich.
And they fed me that steak fried biscuit sandwich when
(23:13):
I was on my recruiting visit, and he asked, can
I get one of these every day if I come
play for Louisville And they said darn right you can,
and he ted Washington all time. Great at Louisville, Rick
the steak fried biscuit sandwich a Masterston's closed the deal.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Wow, they used to have a great Monty Crystal sandwich.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yes, Oh I missed that sandwich. Not enough restaurants have
the Monte Cristo because that's that's bacon and in the cheese.
Oh it's ham and bacon. I'm sorry, it's ham. Turkey
and then the cheese and then it's fried.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Right, they batter it and then they fry it. It
is Oh, it's one heck of a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I think Twin No, it's not. It was a restaurant
that was before Twin Peaks. They had that sandwich.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Oh, Aspen Creek.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Aspen Creek. Yeah, okay, they had that sandwich which was
pretty darn good. All right, tomorrow's going to be a
busy day. We've got some guests lined up. Plus we'll
do crusade for children. Trivia Matty Macarko who won't be
with us, she's headed out for vacation. But plenty of
things to do. We talked about Harvest home comingy it's
already started or starting here in about fifteen minutes. I
(24:28):
think the parade was this weekend. But they have so
much stuff to do. You're gonna go out there this weekend.
The food is delicious. They're gonna get a ton of people.
And of course it's a different setup than the last
couple of years. The rides are gone, and eventually the
rides always go. I remember we got rid of ours
at Holy Trinity and it was a big uproar because
the kids loved it and it was just a different dynamic.
(24:50):
But they got rid of the rides a couple of
years ago. Some of those groups, the carnies that come
with those rides aren't exactly great for your neighborhood for
the week. But it was always just a ton of fun.
But I get it. I get it. Harvest Home Company
is like, look, it's a great event. It seems like
every year the trouble is around those rides, and last
(25:10):
year the worst of it, and that poor young man
that lost his life in that triple shooting and of
course the other two in a stupid fight that ended
up in shots fired is ridiculous. And our prayers go
to that young man and his family, and I feel
for him this weekend, having to relive that on the
(25:30):
anniversary this week and it's just it's tragic and it
should It has no place in an event like the
Harvest home Coming. It's been such a staple for so long,
and there's hundreds of thousands of people will visit that
over the next ten days or so, or eight days
it goes to the twelfth, so whatever, and it's a
fun event. So definitely get out there and have fun
(25:52):
for Harvest homecoming.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, we're going to be there tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, and of course Louisville has the week off. UK
is playing football. But Indiana I can't believe I'm saying
it twice this season already. IU football is the talk
of college football. They played number nine Illinois and waxed them.
(26:18):
Scored sixty three points against Illinois, and Illinois was ranked ninth.
Indiana was like sixteenth or nineteenth or whatever they were.
Now they travel to Oregon and have to play in Eugene.
But the Signetti guy, the coach Signetti sounds like Venetti
as the coach IU. He ain't scared for sure. Now
(26:41):
they are seven and a half point favorite tomorrow. Also,
talk to Marty Book. He's going to give us the
line and what he's gonna do. He's a huge Huger fan,
and just awesome. I'm so glad and I'm happy for
the Hoosiers that they have a football program that is
making national news. Back after this on NewsRadio eight forty WHNS,
(27:01):
all right, good show today, Thank you, Rick, Are you
here tomorrow? I will be all right. We'll be teaming
it up to again tomorrow for a Friday show. They're
always fun. I try to give as little effort as
possible for this on a Friday, so it'll be back
a week from now. If you're wondering, all right, Trade
Noak Towers, folks, it's a difficult conversation to have with
(27:22):
your parents if it's time for them to get to
a facility or a retirement community. I love this one
because it's it's independent, and it's it's a nonprofit, so
they just got to break even. The price is right,
and it's a beautiful facility that's well taken care of.
It's gigantic by the way on thirty and Oak. It's
a block from Saint James Court. One rate, it's not piecemeal.
(27:45):
Call five eight nine thirty two eleven. If you take
the tour of Traite No Towers, you will move in
or your parents will move in. I'm telling you got
to be sixty five or older. Five eight nine thirty
two eleven. Call that number and take the tour for
Trade No Towers. Thank you Rick for everything, and we'll
see you tomorrow on News Ready W eight forty w
h A s.
Welcome back our number three news radio eight forty whas,
like Jack Fox said, we were brought to you by
the Kentucky Office of Highways Safety. Please slow down in
the construction zones. Buckle up, stay off your phone, nah,
And construction zones are every way I go to anything
(00:20):
I do in this town, No kid, it's anywhere. It
doesn't matter what route I take to wherever I'm going,
there is construction. It is crazy, especially downtown.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
How about that crazy street that caved in in Jaytown.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
They are saying it's going to be a while to
get that thing fixed, and I get it, and I
get it. But when you get that much rain again,
the former MSD guy used to when he had press conferences,
more water fell from the sky than we can take
and disperse. So when that water gets under there, it
starts to erode and all of it takes is just
a little bit and boom. But that is a busy area,
(00:55):
so it is avoid it at all costs. And again
it's just another This is the most construction I've ever
seen downtown. And it's not like a big project. It's
just like this street's blocked, that street's blocked, that that
lane at least is blocked. It's ever reway or raw.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I'll tell you what, I'll be glad when they get
the roof on the Young Center because I usually come
down Third Street and.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Go straight up Third Street. Take it right on, Muhammad Ali,
you got it. Yeah, well you can't do that.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
No, I got to go down the fourth right, work
your way back over to the third.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
That's why I started popping sixty five South and then
Jefferson Street and going up to third and taking left. Yes. Yeah,
but they have one lane blocked on that exit. But
it runs really smooth, even though they're squeezing it to
one lane to tell you that Jefferson exits chefferd Street exit,
it runs pretty smooth. That's why I go every day.
(01:48):
It's not a backup. Usually it's backed up, but it moves.
There's a difference between backed up, installed or backed up
and moving. So they're doing a pretty good job with that.
I'm gonna try to get Joe Lincoln in here. We're
gonna give him advice, all right, old dude, Okay, I
have a list. Here are a few things older guys
say they tell their younger sells. It's they had a chance.
(02:11):
Now this list. And by the way, let's talk about
sauceretas real quick. I have a list here. You know
these are this This is the list that we all
we don't take our own advice. You know, the advice
is good, but we don't take our own advice. Joe's
going to join us right now. But first I'm gonna
mention sauceritus. Joe, I'm I'm pulling you here because this
is advice from old man to young men segment. Are
(02:34):
you good with that?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Looking forward to it?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Okay? All right, you look like a very squared away
young man, so I think you're going to be most
of this this list. Uh, but first, saucerritas, folks, this
mark your calendar Saturday, October twenty sixth that Saucerita is
in Saint Matthew's Family Friendly silent Disco. Joe, have you
ever been to a silent disco with the headphones?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I have on a cruise once at time.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
It was a good time. Oh yeah, it's a little weird.
If you don't have the headphones on.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
You have to have the head it's on. That is key.
At the silent disco, ladies.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
And gentlemen, people are dancing around, yes, with you know,
sac phones on it.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It's a little weird when you walk in cause you
see people moving and shaking and you're like, what the
heck is happening.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
But it's a big thing. There's like a Louisville disco
guy that's doing it and he's making a ton of
money too. But catering for any of the of the
Halloween or any of those issues, go to Saucerratas dot
com or three locations, including the new one in Shepherdsville
Sauceritas Fresh Mexican Grill. They have the new double taco
where you do the soft tako around the hard taco
and you can choose the caso or the refried beans
(03:34):
to make the glue on the either outside. It's delicious.
That's the one I happened. Okay, we'll say this list.
I'm gonna say this list to you, and it's a
Reddit or something or wherever I got this story. The
thing is we don't follow our own advice. You know,
it's really you know, you know the advice, and you're
just like, why don't I I tell other people this,
do as I say.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Not, that's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
We can't help, but do it like this first one.
This is advice from older guy to younger guy. How
old are you?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I'm twenty three.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Twenty three. I love it. Who cares what anyone else
thinks about you?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
You know what. It's something that my father has said
to me for years. He's like, you know what, as
you get older, you start to give less of a
grap about everything, and you know, you're just kind of
you're doing your own thing. I think when we're this
age and social media with how crazy it is right now,
it's just the way it is. People are going to
be more in their head.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You can't help but think about it. Sure, because you're
self conscious. If you if you're a person that completely
doesn't care about what anybody thinks, you're probably you're probably
an a you know, you're probably a jerk.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
You have to care for a little bit right until
you don't care, because you know, I feel like you
have to make a name for yourself and show people
that you know, maybe you are worth something.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Well well, and I want and there's certain people you
want to impress. Your mentors, people like that, teachers, former
teachers and stuff. You want to make them proud. So
this is a good representative because Rick is really old.
I'm medium old and you're young. Rick, did when did
you how old are you? Son?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I am seventy three, seventy.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Three years young?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Did you?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Have you ever stopped? When? Did you stop caring what
other people think?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
No, it's been quite a while. I love it.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Uh, build yourself a strong work ethic, Joe. I believe
that you've already probably got that.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
It's it's okay the fact that I'm here. Should you know?
That's that's something right?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I think there's a lot of people my age that
would rather just sit in bed and kind of yeah,
do that sort of delio right now. But you know
it's I you know what, I think it's fun. I
got to have something to do. Also, I'm not one
of those guys that can just sit back and and
chill out. I got to be doing something.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
You've got to do something.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I'm gonna I'm gonna drive myself crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I think this is what generation, what what era you
are in your life? Like if you're just starting in
your career, sorry, you're going to have a life. If
you want to make it work in this industry or
whatever industry you're in, you got to put in the hours.
You got to tell them if you if you want
me here late on Friday, I'll be here till monday.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
You got to do that kind of attitude when you're
building it once you have a family that I made
a choice when I did sports radio and whatever, moved
to sports radio and did whatever. I was like, I
couldn't be in bars anymore for rock radio. But I
was not going to put my entire life into this industry. Sure, right,
I was going to go to work. I was going
to do my best, but I was going to be
home for the family, like right, But there were people
that chose work and they're never home and they're never
(06:35):
with their kids. You have a short window with your kids, man,
So that is a certain thing your work ethic. Rick,
you think you're still working you're seventy three.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, well you know, I've retired from my full time
job five years ago. Okay, so I've been part time
here at iHeart.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Did you get bored?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
How long?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
How fast did it take for you got bored.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
At my regular job? Well after you retired pretty fast,
pretty pretty fast.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Whenever they asked me to come in to do something
it's I'll be there, you know, because I I can't
sit around. I mean, I got to be doing something.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah, that's me too.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I think that's a similar trait with all people that
make something of themselves.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yes, yeah, fact, I find myself getting more tired if
I just body emotion.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, body emotion. There's no doubtatly. Here's the biggest one.
And I say this to whenever I speak to I
spoke at Trinity High School the other day. Don't fear risk.
It's the only Here's the advice I always give give
my kids and what I did. Put yourself in rooms
you don't belong in and figure out a way to stay.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Risks are everything.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
That's one of the things that when I got into
doing this in college, you are, you are like deer
in the headlights constantly.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I remember my first big gig was doing Big ten
media days in Lucas Oil Stadium.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Nice and you're looking up.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
You're like, oh my gosh, that's James Franklin, right, whoever.
You know, You're just like, it's this, this is crazy.
I'm never going to talk to those guys. And then
you do it. You're like, oh, they're just people.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, they're just dudes.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
They're just dudes.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Oh, they're just dudes. And if they're a head coach
of a division one, they're probably liars.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
So so true.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Sorry, it's the truth. To get through that level you got. Hey,
the best recruiters are the best liars. That's period, period.
But you have to take risks, and some people just
stay where they are because they don't they I don't
know why. The reason that would be they don't believe
in themselves, or they don't want that risk, or they're
comfortable here. If you're comfortable, you're not in the right spot.
(08:37):
You're not in the right spot if you are totally comfortable,
because that's it seems like that generation, your generation wants
to be in a comfort zone and that is the
worst place to be if you're trying to achieve.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
So what do you think about this whole work from
home dynamic? Does that put you in your comfort zone? Perennially?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I mean, yes, you know it does. It does. It's
a twofold because your office now is open twenty four hours.
You're going to be answering emails at five and eleven pm, right,
so your office is open all the time. But it
is you have to be around people. You're not going
to grow as a human if you're not hanging out
with other humans. One of the kids asked me, uh,
(09:14):
you know afterwards it was a Q and A and
he he goes, I want to become an author, And
I said, you got to go live life. I was like,
you go to college whatever, you want to do that,
but if you're if you're going to write, you don't
really need to go to college. But you got to
go be a cook at Hooters for six months. Moved
to Oklahoma, moved to New York, moved to Atlanta. You
got to live life. What are you going to write about?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Just absorb other people's stories and information.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
And you you you collect characters, right, the true right
the guy that kind of has the twitch, that is
cooking with you at Hooters, that's a guy now a
character in your book. Right?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
You know a dude who can't cook a chicken wing
with I go one five minutes with that cigarette.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You know, I encourage him to go into radio because
there's plenty of characters in this industry, all right. Oh yeah?
And Rick back in in the seven nineteen early seventies
in radio.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Oh boy, Oh yeah, old.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Boy, Yeah you got there. You go all right? Learn
how to manage your money responsibly?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh come on, yeah, Dave Ramsey, Baby, oh boy, that's
a big one.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Oh boy, do we ever figure that out? I get.
Look the people that are discipline enough to just spend cash,
good for you. I just can't. I live my life
with we. Look, we wouldn't buy seventy five percent of
what we buy if we didn't have credit cards. If
you had to pay cash for the new TV, you
wouldn't buy the new TV. But I'm not that person.
(10:36):
I have a credit card, So I'm going to buy
the new eighty five inch TV.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
And they're all linked to our Amazon accounts and you
can do it in thirteen seconds. Yeah, no problem.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Click. So now, don't be crazy and don't get yourself
in crazy debt, but learn how to manage your money.
And again, it used to be simple because you had
When you had a checkbook, you had to write out.
You had to write it out, and it hurts if
you did the cause you if you met minus, you
had the minus taking that away, and it hurt more.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Now click, I think I've wrote two checks in my
entire life.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Wow, would you.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I mean, it's just you know, my father was like,
I'm gonna sit you down and I'm gonna have you
learn how to do this. And like a year later
he's like, you're probably.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
You don't need this. Yeah, you don't need this. Can
you write in cursive? Of course? Okay, Well there's a
whole lot of folks. They stopped teaching it.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I think it was like a couple of years after
I did it. It was second grade that I got it,
and they were like, yeah, we're doing away with it
because it doesn't matter. But in college, I had a
freshman year English class where the professor said, you're going
to write all of your essays out in front of
me in cursive And I said.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
What, God, well, in these days and times, and that's
not a bad tactic.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
With the A right and all that, and that's what
they're going back to.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, I don't know if they embed that stuff with that,
but I never I'm never in to a point to
where if I have if you have kids, sporting teams
need checks, right, screams need checks right. Uh, they're not
all set up online. So I have an issue like
I haven't written cursive in a year or two, and
I'm like, okay, how do I how do I.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Make except for your signature? Right?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I know your signature is the only thing, and I'm
starting to become really lazy with that. But I mean,
you don't do your when you do your finger on
there's there's the you know, when you do your finger
thing on the whatever, it's like your signature.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, my cignature looks like a blob.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Anytime you have to sign it a place on a touchpad,
it's a scribble and a squeak and you're done.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yes. We used to have the the the experts that
would come in and break you down just from your handwriting.
So we would have them come on the show. We
would all write something out like a sentence, incursive or
whatever it was, and then he would the person that
was the expert, the handwriting expert would tell you you're
a cycle path or you're walk Oh yeah absolutely, they're like, no,
(12:51):
this is cycle paths, you're you're a narcissist, or you're whatever,
or I'm telling you. They they from your handwriting back
then again when you to do it all the time.
But those handwriting experts are the way you cross your tea.
That's how people got, you know, criminally busted. Right, wow, right, okay,
here's a big one that you're gonna You're twenty three,
(13:12):
so you have knuckleheads still in your group. Of course,
be smart on who you keep in your circle, the
toxic folks, and you'll know who they are because they're
always complaining. Drama follows them everywhere. Yeah, it's always somebody
else's fault. Yeah, I get fired again. Hey could you
give me a ride? My car's not working? And you
(13:34):
do that in your twenties, Yeah, magically when you turn
twenty nine, for some reason, you kind of look around
and you see who's left. You're like, oh, oh man, drama,
somebody drama? Are you into that? Now you have a
good friend group.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I am being blessed with an incredible friend group, thankfully.
You know, there have been the occasion, there's been the
occasional bad apple that you're just like that, that dude's
not gonna yeah, that dude's not gonna be riding with
us much lighter. And the thing is it tends to
work itself out. You don't have to like push away
or anything. You're like that dude stopped showing up a
while ago.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Uh is it the your generation of I guess it
would be you take them out of the group text
and start a new text line and they're.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Part of it. You know, there's the ghosting thing, you
know that you can do.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Yes, well, that would be ghosting if you take him
out of the chain, right, Yeah, there's got to be
a new word for that.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I mean, I haven't I'm not really familiar with the
term for starting group chat and exiting one person out

I've got a group like that together since grade school
through high school, college. There were people that you know,
went away came back. I've had two guys that retired colonels,
so they obviously went away for twenty five years, but
when they retired, they came back to Louisville raise the
rest of their kids there here in Louisville. But it's
(15:51):
I feel lucky because I've got that group and they
know all the secrets too, all the secrets everyone's got.

forty whas. We are to you by the Kentucky Office
of Highway Safety. So many things going on every weekend.
You know, when I go to event, I go, man,
you've got a lot of You're competing against a lot
of stuff. Well, it's every weekend in Louisville. But one
(17:12):
of the favorite things is this pumpkin chunkin. I think
I'm getting the name right is Andrew the on the line. Yes, okay,
Andrew Masterson, how are you, sir?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I'm wonderful. How are you?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Did I get it right? The pumpkin chunkin? Okay? Yes,
got it well, Andrew. It is nice to have you
on the radio for something positive instead of you flooding
all the time.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Right. Yeah, yeah, we're kind of tired of that too.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Your friends are like, Andrew's on the radio, what happened?
But this is a fun event. People go every single
year and tell everybody what is going to go on.
It's Sunday, correct, It.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Is Sunday from noon until eight. We started this event
about eleven years ago to raise money for Twisted Pink
and Hope Scarves, two organizations in town that raise money
for metastatic breast cancer research, something that my wife has
been battling for about eleven years now. So we will
(18:15):
have three giant tribugets, kind of think about the Monty
Python scene where they're throwing a cow over the over
the side of the thing. We're throwing pumpkins out into
the river to try to hit some floating targets, and
each person can come up and buy a pumpkin. It's
ten dollars for the pumpkin. All that money goes to
the charity. We launched their pumpkin into the river to
(18:36):
try to hit this target. If they hit a target,
We've had a ton of restaurants, local restaurants that have
donated GEFT certificates and that person will win a Geest certificate.
But on top of that, we've got a great food court.
We have live music playing until eight o'clock. We're doing
helicopter rides. We have flyover planned. I mean, it's just
gonna be a full day of just fun and.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Last helicopter rides. How is that going to work? Are
they going to land right there on the they are, yes, okay.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Yes, we've got a good spot for him. Uh set
aside and yeah they took me up yesterday to kind
of test test rut it, and uh, you're actually gonna
be able to drop a pumpkin out of the helicopter
and try to hit one of the targets. So if that,
if that doesn't sound scary to you, I don't know
what's up. Now.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
What happens if you hit the target? Do you win
something or do you just get you.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Get Yeah, there were a whole bunch of restaurants in
town have have donated to help the call?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Okay, gotcha one of those restaurants. Yeah, all right, Andrew,
I know your family very well. We belong to the
same parish, and I know your lovely wife, and you know,
we do all this stuff and it's fun, but it
goes to a good cause. What was that like for you, Uh,
when when she found out that and you found out
the family found out that that she was going to
(19:53):
have to deal with this again eleven years ago. I'm
sure it's just like it was yesterday. What was that
like when you heard the news?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Yeah, it was. It was pretty shocking. Of course, we
all had had young kids at the time, and you know,
we're trying to we're thinking of the worst and how
are we going to get through this? And uh, it
was a battle. But these two organizations hoped scarves and
twisted pink. They were there on day one. There what
can we do to help it? You know, it's it's
there's here's what we can you know, provide you for
(20:21):
emotional support for you know, just just everything. They were
They totally had our bikes and held our hands through
a lot of it. And I just had to I
had to find a way to get back to them.
And I knew we had this venue here along the
river and we do events all the time, and I
didn't want just another walk. I didn't want another cook off.
I wanted to do something different and fine. So that's
why we came up with this.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Well, who came up with this? Who came up with that?
Who's it was?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
It was? It was me?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Unfortunately, what can we launch and hit a target I've
always wanted to hit some of these silly boats are
out there anyway?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Uh So I get, okay, here's another dumb question. So
there is traffic on the on the river, you're going
to try not to hit a boat that's traveling course?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Of course, of course we have you know, the coast Guard,
the police, the Sheriff's department, everybody's involved. We're not throwing
out into the middle of the river. We're actually just
throwing up river about one hundred yards off the cour Yeah,
so it's not that, you know, we we use all
the latest safety measures to prevent that from happening. Of course, is.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
The fall the best time to go to cqs. You're
probably gonna say all year around, Tony, but it is
it is right.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
It is. It's unfortunately with the construction on River Road
it's a little challenging. You have to come from a
Wolfpen branch or up forty two from Prospect, but the
water Company's made a little bit more challenging this year.
But fall is absolutely beautiful on the river. Just bring
a sweater or sweatshirt to sit outside and just sitting
in the lawn and and enjoy the sights and sounds
(22:01):
and smells. It's just it's a good.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Time, awesome. Captain's Quarters Sunday starts at noon, goes till
eight o'clock. They're going to try to hit a target
in the river. Until you see it, you can't believe it.
And now they've added helicopter rise to hit targets. Not
dropping turkeys out like w krap. But it's pumpkins and
you get to do that, which sounds like a lot
of fun. Andrew tell everybody we said hi. Tell your wife,
(22:26):
we said hi, and we send our love.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Thanks so much, Tonty, take care you got it.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
But great family, great family business. Over one hundred years. Masterson's.
Remember they used to have a place downtown on UVL campus.
And I always tell this story Ted Washington is one
of the best football players to ever play for ULEVL.
He was in NFL All Pro every single year he
(22:52):
played down linemen. He was unstoppable when he played for
Howard Snellenberger. But I interviewed him one time and he said,
I don't know, we brought up campus or whatever. He goes,
you know that Masterston's restaurant. I said yeah. He was like,
that's why I went to Louisville and I went what
And he said they had a steak fried biscuit sandwich.
And they fed me that steak fried biscuit sandwich when
(23:13):
I was on my recruiting visit, and he asked, can
I get one of these every day if I come
play for Louisville And they said darn right you can,
and he ted Washington all time. Great at Louisville, Rick
the steak fried biscuit sandwich a Masterston's closed the deal.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Wow, they used to have a great Monty Crystal sandwich.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yes, Oh I missed that sandwich. Not enough restaurants have
the Monte Cristo because that's that's bacon and in the cheese.
Oh it's ham and bacon. I'm sorry, it's ham. Turkey
and then the cheese and then it's fried.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Right, they batter it and then they fry it. It
is Oh, it's one heck of a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I think Twin No, it's not. It was a restaurant
that was before Twin Peaks. They had that sandwich.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Oh, Aspen Creek.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Aspen Creek. Yeah, okay, they had that sandwich which was
pretty darn good. All right, tomorrow's going to be a
busy day. We've got some guests lined up. Plus we'll
do crusade for children. Trivia Matty Macarko who won't be
with us, she's headed out for vacation. But plenty of
things to do. We talked about Harvest home comingy it's
already started or starting here in about fifteen minutes. I
(24:28):
think the parade was this weekend. But they have so
much stuff to do. You're gonna go out there this weekend.
The food is delicious. They're gonna get a ton of people.
And of course it's a different setup than the last
couple of years. The rides are gone, and eventually the
rides always go. I remember we got rid of ours
at Holy Trinity and it was a big uproar because
the kids loved it and it was just a different dynamic.
(24:50):
But they got rid of the rides a couple of
years ago. Some of those groups, the carnies that come
with those rides aren't exactly great for your neighborhood for
the week. But it was always just a ton of fun.
But I get it. I get it. Harvest Home Company
is like, look, it's a great event. It seems like
every year the trouble is around those rides, and last
(25:10):
year the worst of it, and that poor young man
that lost his life in that triple shooting and of
course the other two in a stupid fight that ended
up in shots fired is ridiculous. And our prayers go
to that young man and his family, and I feel
for him this weekend, having to relive that on the
(25:30):
anniversary this week and it's just it's tragic and it
should It has no place in an event like the
Harvest home Coming. It's been such a staple for so long,
and there's hundreds of thousands of people will visit that
over the next ten days or so, or eight days
it goes to the twelfth, so whatever, and it's a
fun event. So definitely get out there and have fun
(25:52):
for Harvest homecoming.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, we're going to be there tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, and of course Louisville has the week off. UK
is playing football. But Indiana I can't believe I'm saying
it twice this season already. IU football is the talk
of college football. They played number nine Illinois and waxed them.
(26:18):
Scored sixty three points against Illinois, and Illinois was ranked ninth.
Indiana was like sixteenth or nineteenth or whatever they were.
Now they travel to Oregon and have to play in Eugene.
But the Signetti guy, the coach Signetti sounds like Venetti
as the coach IU. He ain't scared for sure. Now
(26:41):
they are seven and a half point favorite tomorrow. Also,
talk to Marty Book. He's going to give us the
line and what he's gonna do. He's a huge Huger fan,
and just awesome. I'm so glad and I'm happy for
the Hoosiers that they have a football program that is
making national news. Back after this on NewsRadio eight forty WHNS,

always fun. I try to give as little effort as
possible for this on a Friday, so it'll be back
a week from now. If you're wondering, all right, Trade
Noak Towers, folks, it's a difficult conversation to have with
(27:22):
your parents if it's time for them to get to
a facility or a retirement community. I love this one
because it's it's independent, and it's it's a nonprofit, so
they just got to break even. The price is right,
and it's a beautiful facility that's well taken care of.
It's gigantic by the way on thirty and Oak. It's
a block from Saint James Court. One rate, it's not piecemeal.
(27:45):
Call five eight nine thirty two eleven. If you take
the tour of Traite No Towers, you will move in
or your parents will move in. I'm telling you got
to be sixty five or older. Five eight nine thirty
two eleven. Call that number and take the tour for
