Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, we brought to you by the Kentucky Officeive
Highway Safety. Please buckle up, put the phone down, Slow
down while you're going through construction sites, which is everywhere
in the city of Louisville and seems seems like in
the in Kentucky. So please, you would not believe in
a number of accidents that happened, and these poor construction
guys work in the most dangerous zones there is, so
(00:22):
please be careful as you go through there. We're going
to talk about the possible juvenile curfew, which in my opinion,
has to happen. I'm experiencing a lot of trouble in
the neighborhood. But here's how my brain works. So I
was talking about harvest homecoming and then it was like
I was like, Kentucky Harvester, we used rick. You were
(00:46):
in town when Kentucky Harvester. Where was the plant and
it'll still have it?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I think it was around Critin and Drive.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Critin Drive. That makes sense. They were part of International Harvester, right,
that's correct, Okay, all right, and they are still around, yes, barely,
are barely right?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
They're hanging in there.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, Okay, International Harvester DA DA DA I often abbreviation
abbreviated as IH. I guess you see, Oh yes, I
see that it looks like a tractor, but it says IH.
I just remember growing up and it was Why was
it called Kentucky Harvester and not International Harvester? Does anybody
know that?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I do not? Okay, I draw a blank on that one.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
In Texas it was always International Harvester and their Scout,
their Scout SUVs that used.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
To have International Harvester Company DA DA DA DA American
Manufacturing and Agriculture and construction equipment, automobiles, commercial trucks, lawn
and garden products, household equipment formed in nineteen o two.
But I remember Kentucky Harvester being a big thing. It
was Ford, Kentucky Harvester, and ge where the big manufacturers
(01:54):
in Louisville, and a ton of people worked at either
one of those places. It was just a big, big
deal back then. But I remember Kentucky and plus Kentucky
Harvester was in a movie called Gremlins Gremlins two yes, yeah,
something like yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a Kentucky Harvester
in that.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Talk about don't use those cheap Japanese parts. You got
to use Kentucky harvester, all American parts, all.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Right, man, So let's talk about what's going on in
America around here. Look in Louisville years ago, under the
last mayor's administration, Greg Fisher, he had closed down the
juvenile Detention Center in and on all honesty, it was
run down and there were some issues with the place,
(02:42):
but every good intention has results, and good intentions aren't enough,
so they closed it. And it was a very I
guess quick transition to criminals are going to use teenagers
to commit crime because we have no place to take
them if we arrest them, so they just get back
(03:03):
out on the street or not even.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Charge them, right, And that's what's been happening.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
And now I have this feeling that the kids are
doing it on their own. They're not even re run
by gangs. It's twelve to fifteen year olds because that's all.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
They can very build, very much be being run by
the gangs at that age because they know that they're
going to get a slap on the wrist and be
out forty five minutes after they're taken.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Down to what I'm saying, I think some of these
guys are young op entrepreneurs. I think they're doing their
own Yeah, they're freelancing, and I'm sure you're correct. It's
all connected to gangs and all that stuff. But Mayor
Greenberg has done a good job of Look, Shields got
in there, they had a game plan. They were implementing
common sense policing in tactics to get to the gangs
(03:44):
to shut it down. And oh, in a miracle, common
sense policing and the homicides go down. Huh. If you try,
you can get it done because the police will tell you.
We know exactly where they are, we know who they are,
and we know where they hang out. We just go
get them. That worked, so a curfew to me, and
(04:05):
it's not crazy now other cities have done it forever.
If you're under fifteen, got to be in by nine,
over fifteen to eighteen or seventeen, it's midnight.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Because some of them work right.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
And different days you get different hours. But as you
just ran. Greenberg was on my show yesterday and he
made a good point. Until you reopen the juvenile detention center,
we can't do that, John Chanda.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah, there's no way.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
There's no way to put any teeth into the enforcement
of a curfew, no matter how you implement it, whether
it's stepped by age or whatever. If there's no place
to put them, if you're going to pick them up
and arrest them for curfew violation and have no place
to take them, then it's the same issue as if
you arrest them for doing a crime. I did like
one thing the mayor said yesterday that kind of flew
(04:54):
under the radar. He said, parents can set their own
curfews as well.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Right, it's common sense.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You know, you and I grew up and I know
Rick did too. Under the time of when the street
light comes on your home. Now, granted that's summertime, but yeah,
when the streets lights come on, your butt better be
in the house.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah, parents can, I mean it can start at home.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
They can do a version of broken windows policing in
their own neighborhoods and watch some of these kids. But
nobody does anymore. But back to your point, Yeah, the
detention center has to be finished for there to be
any teeth in any kind of city ordinance for a
curfew on kids.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
They're saying early twenty twenty seven, so another year and
a couple of months is what they're maybe year and
a half. Right, it's too long.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I know, And he said he made the comment yesterday.
They are trying to get it open sooner. They're trying
to push to get the deadlines moved up. I'm not
sure how bad a condition this place was in, but
to take two years to getting.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
A makeshift, can we just find a building and make
a makeshift place that we can do this in again?
I say this because am I angry because there's a
house broken into on my street every single night? Yeah? Yeah,
but it's sad because if you look on these ring
cameras and these I have four cameras on my house,
if you look and see who it is, they're kids.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Yeah, and he didn't go too.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yes, it's groups of them working in teams. They use
that initiative to actual businesses. These kids would be very successful, right,
but they are. They were looking for guns the other night,
and that's what they're looking for. They smashed out four
trucks they I guess they think people that own pickup
trucks have guns under the seat that.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Or you know, not in your case, but you know,
I've never I'm a gun owner, and I have stored
it in my car if I've had to go somewhere
where they won't let guns come into the building. But
the one thing I don't do is I don't advertise
on my back window that I'm a gun owner.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Oh no, Well, and then, and by the way, if
you've got a comment on this, whether there should be
a curfew for kids, or if you're having trouble. I
was standing in a room of five people and they
lived about two or three miles from my house, and
I was talking about this, and the lady's standing next
to me goes, oh, yeah, they got my car right
out of the driveway. She lives in Norbourne Estates, which
(07:09):
is just right down the street. It's about a mile away.
But she said, and we had jammed it up to
where her husband's car was right up, nudged against her,
and she was first in the driveway. Because you're thinking
they're going to steal the one that's in the back,
she goes, no, they they got my car started. And
she goes, they drove through the flower bed of the
next door house, next door neighbor's house and took off
(07:30):
in it. They stole the first car in the driveway.
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
If that's what they're wanting and what needs to be
stolen to get parts at a chop shop or whatever. Yeah,
they'll they'll drive. They'll drive over your grandmother to get
out of the driveway. You brought up something the other
day talking about Halloween stuff and it was called positive fear.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Why could healthy dose healthy dose of fear?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Five seven, one eight four eight four. If you have
a comment, by the.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Way, why not do something, Okay, until the juvenile Detention
center's open, find some of these kids and do a
Scared Straight where they take them through the jail and
let them talk to these people at LMDC about what
life is like in there and what they can expect.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah, I remember those and it's in just watching the video.
Scared Straight scared me as a kid.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
And their job was, and.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Basically Scared Straight was they took a group of kids
from twelve to fifteen years old, and they took them
to prisons, and they chose the people that would scare them,
and they put them in a room with these folks
and they scared the crap out of them. Is this
the life that you want? You take them tough.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
They took them on a tour of the hardcore part
of the detention center and let them experience these guys,
these acting like animals at the bar, saying hey, you know, hey,
fresh meat fish whatever. You know, you're you're going to
be in here with me one day. And then they
took some of these guys that really want to sit
there and right and set them down in a room
and talked with these kids and have some real talk
(08:52):
with them.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Even the ones that you know, there's always one or
two in the group that were like, I know, you
can't touch me, and they would make faces and do
all this stuff. Even even those kids, by the end
of the Scared Straight session they were in tears or
they were like, I'm not doing this. I don't want
to do this. No, I think that's a great program. Look,
we've thrown so many things at the wall on this issue, but.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
You know, hey, don't don't leave any option on the table.
Is the way I look at it. If you got
to get this on control, all the other stats are
coming down. I mean that's verifiable on their on their
crime dashboard, but the juvenile stats are not.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, I think I'm telling you a lot of initiative.
I just said, you throw it against the wall. We
got to see what sticks. I think this initiative of
a curfew would work if you're going to detain them
from more than just a look, and not just until
a parent gets there, but until your charges are filed,
whatever it is, and send them to juvie.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, and just and because I'm you know, I mean,
get off, get off my yard kind of guy. Something
needs to be done to the parents too, to make
it hurt.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
This happens.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Shield said that, and so did the mayor. There has
to be consequences for the parents or parent or grandparent
or whoever is raising uh said child. But if you
talk to teachers, they're like, this is because I posted
that or HS posted the interview yesterday, and I got,
you know, some calls or text messages from friends that
are teachers. He goes, you have no idea. It's across
(10:15):
the board. I mean, it's all the kids, no matter
what demo demographic you're looking at, they're all like that.
And these kids are and it goes back to what
I've been screaming about, which is school used to be.
You went to school for six hours. Now, are any
of those callers going through or do we have the
names I saw two of them there, Rick, he's on
(10:38):
the phone with one. Parents now believe the schools are
there to raise their child.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Well, I mean when you've got all kinds of pre
pre uh, it's.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Like, that's just look, it's six hours you go home.
Lunch was there, but you always used to have to
buy lunch out. They're feeding the child all day.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
At all night, first lunch and dinner, which.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Again, saddest thing in the world is seeing a kid
that's hungry. That's why I'm involved with blessings in a
backpack so they have food to eat at home. But
it's not the it shouldn't be the school's responsibility to
feed your child breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That's not that's
your job, is a that's a basic job of a parent.
That's a basic job of a parent is to feed
(11:27):
your child. And a lot of them. Again, in some
neighborhoods it's they're raised by one grandparent or whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Thank goodness for that grandparent be there.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
In some cases, Rick, did any of those callers, I
saw a bunch of them pop.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
On bad connections on these I couldn't get in the stick.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I just got a text that said, some of the
homes might be scarier than jail.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Possibly, and that's probably that maybe why they're on the street.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, it's you know, these kids deserve a chance. But
then when they choose to get in a car and
I don't know how they're getting there, if they're twelve
to fifteen years old, I guess someone is dropping them off.
We figure out where they park, and they jump out,
they go do the neighborhood, and then they run back
and they're gone. The police can't chase because they're liable
(12:14):
for any damage or you know, they run over a
mailbox or god forbid, a dog or a person. You know,
they're liable for that. Yeah, so the cops are not
going to chase the car that's driving forty five miles
an hour down whatever street in a neighborhood because of that, right,
And yeah, because they catch twenty two. Yeah, they really are.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
They're darned if they do, and darned if they don't,
because you know, if they do, they, like you said,
they run the risk of injury and lawsuit, and no
police officer wants to be involved in a lawsuit personal
injury lawsuit like that. Or if they don't, the kids
get away and keep doing more crimes.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And I don't want to get to that point because
we've been in this spot before. To a certain extent.
Block watches were a new thing when I was in
high school. Like the signs went up and then you
signed up, and then someone would stay up to two
in the morning or whatever, and they would walk the
neighborhood with flashlights and stuff and you were part of
the block watch and you got you did it once
a month or you know, once every other week or
whatever it was. And it was a big thing for
(13:09):
a while. So we've had crimes in neighborhoods that don't
usually have it before. But now I'm talking about I
don't know the you know these flock cameras or the
cameras do I want cameras everywhere in Saint Matthew's like
they do like downtown, they have a live crime Room.
I've been in there. It's a facility across the street
from where we are right now, four Street live at
(13:30):
Metro Safe, and it's a it looks like I'm in
a Tom Cruise movie and this is the CIA or NSA, right,
and it's all It's called the Live Crime Room because
they have cameras everywhere HD. They can zoom in and
they can they're predicting the crime before it happens. You're like,
look at this guy, what's what's what's gonna happen now?
And they can see the crime before it happens and
(13:51):
get police there. It's kind of a neat tool for
them to use that. But do I want those on
every street? I'm almost like, yeah, yeah, I kind I
kind of want Saint Matthews to invest in these cameras
in these neighborhoods and just at least be able to say, oh,
here we go.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, but do you want to to your point, do
you want it to turn into the minority Report? I mean,
look at look at someplace like New York City where
you can't spit without hitting a poll. It's got five
six different cameras pointing five six different directions.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
But doesn't everybody have a ring camera anyway? I mean yeah, yeah,
most most streets.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
And what happens when when when somebody is there for
a crime, what's the first thing that happens.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, you also got those too.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, the camera the people.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah, and they'll post them viral, So I mean they
can snatch them off social media that way too. And
I've done reports where, uh the police when Dwight Mitchell
or Matt Sanderson's out of release, they'll say, if anybody
has ring ring camera footage or any kind of security
camera footage, could you please let us see it related
to this cat.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
In a smaller way, the malls had to go to that. Yeah,
Oxmore Mall and the mall Saint Matthew's. I remember going
to Jac Pennies and it's the double decker and they
have an escalator and it was always broken and I
think I was out loud thinking and one of the
ladies that works there said, yeah, she goes. The teenagers
(15:11):
come in in groups of like fifty and then they
jump up and down on the escalators like every week,
and they bust it and then they run and laugh
and run off until the mall and Oxmoor they have
a police force, a mall police force and mall cops
and you if you're under eighteen. They threw my son
(15:33):
and his friends out when they were in high school.
They're like, you, it's six o'clock, six o'clock, you got
to get out.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Good for them?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, No, And they've kind of cleaned it up. Yeah,
because there were some issues at both malls.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, we were part of that. Remember a few years
ago with the mall Saint Matthew's where they had that
riot with all those young kids at the Bounce Park. Yeah,
well my wife and I were there at the mall
that night when that happened. That was really scary as like, yeah,
all of a sudden, this I heard of kids were
just they basically took over them all. And right after
(16:03):
that's when they put that curfew into effect where I
think if you were under sixteen you had to be
a company.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, and it's worked. Yeah, and it worked. It's a
lot better.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
That's why I'm saying in a bigger way, can we
implement this in the city of Louisville because other cities
have done it.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
So let me ask this, just because I don't know
the inner workings. Could Saint Matthews's, Could your wife of
the Saint Matthew City Council do one just for Saint Matthews.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Could Jeffersontown do their own? Does it have to go
through Metro?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's a great question of them.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Because I mean you could start little if if Louisville
is constrained by the detention center metro itself. Why not
have maybe Saint Matthews or Jtown or some of the
smaller places shively that has their own police force do
this on their own and implement question Council.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
That's a great question. I will tell you I'm not
playing stupid games if this continues. I'm a lifetime Saint
Matthew's guy, right, I'm not playing stupid games. If I
have to, if I have to secure or in my
house like Fort Knox every single night for my family
to feel safe, I'm moving.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Yeah, and nobody should have to go away.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I'm moving. And then you were asking questions of why
everybody's going outside the circle. Why Bullet County, why Henry County,
why Oldham County are growing exponentially. It's because people are like,
I'm sick of it, dude, I don't want to and
I get out here. There's you know, uh, there's.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I guess when you move in next to me down
in Etown, I'll know you've had it done.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I ain't going that far. I ain't going that far.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
We'll find you in Mount Washing.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, but it is. It's a real problem. And I
think there are some solutions, we just got to get
to them. And sometimes, like I said, good intentions aren't enough.
We see a lot of initiatives that have good intentions
that end up blowing up in your face and the
(17:52):
results are way worse than what you ever had before
because of good intentions. Policy matters. Closing the facility the
juvenile detention center was a bad idea and this city
it's cost this city good intentions. The oil slicks spill
(18:13):
in Louisiana, why was it in deep water where they
can't get to it, because they passed a good intention
law of we don't want these oil drilling facilities closer
to the shore in case there's a spill, Well, if
it's closer to the shore and in shallow water, we
can get to it and fix it. They pushed it
out far enough to where it's in a mile deep
(18:34):
of water.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah, and they're not talking like two or three feet
of water when they say shallow water. They're talking four
or five hundred feet of water. And they did say, well,
that's too shallow, we don't want it there, So they move
them to the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, where
you're looking at eight thousand feet just to get down
to the.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Good intention policy which everybody's goes, Well, that makes sense.
Make them make those guys if they want to earn
their go oil, then make them go get it, because
I don't want it right next to the shore, because
then they will damage our industry and our beaches.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Well, guess what that happened anyway, because you couldn't get
it capped right because it was in such deep water.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
And too far out to get a good supply chain
of right rescue resources as well to it in any
amount of time.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Good intentions hard enough? What's what's the road to help
paved with good intentions?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Look at you quoting who was that? Who said that?
Is that? That's not in the Bible?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I don't know. Oh boy, now we're in there. Dwight,
there's nowhere is Dwight the Bible guy?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Oh he's Sammy's down in Cabo.
Speaker 1 (19:30):

and Edland back after this on news radio eight forty whs.
(20:13):
All right, time to play Reeling in the Years. I
got it yesterday. I beat Austin nineteen eighty three or
eighty two. I can't remember which one we got No.
Seventy eight, I'm sorry he went nineteen seventy eight. I
don't know what you have in charge or in store
for us today, Rick, but you're pretty good at this game.
This is where we play song or he will play
songs that charted today. I guess the year. It's brought
(20:35):
to you by Gustavos. I got a whole bunch of
good songs here, okay, here we go, readling in the years,
flying so low.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Okay, here we go song number four, basic miss on
the Billboard Hot one hundred chart on this day for
this year or so, here we go, number.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Four, nineteen seventies. Uh, I can't believe I can't remember
this name of the song.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Soon all right now about free.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, free, all right now. Yes, we played this a
million times back in the day, and we used to
do these WQMF albums, like compilation cassettes or CDs or albums,
and this was always on it.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I think a fee of these guys eventually became bad company.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I'm sure they did. Oh, yes they did. Yeah, it
is correct.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
That is correct.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
All right, So nineteen seventies, I'm gonna go seventy six,
seventy seven, right now.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Okay, that was a song number four. Here's song number three.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Boom boom, Now this is sounding earlier seventy three. Maybe
this Frankenstein.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Oh this is green eyed lady, Green eyed lady.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Duh, I'm sorry, sugarloaf nod lady. No, this is more
sixty nine seventy seventy one. Green Eyed Lady is Yeah,
this was their only this was there. This one had
wonder back.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
They had a song in seventy five called We'll call.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
You green Eyed lead in Fashion Lady. This is it,
all right, It's I'm Gonna Go seventy three.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Okay, that's song number three. The song number two, Don't
Don't Don't. Song number two is basically a love song
to a bottle of wine.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Okay, he was sixties. Well he expanded, he was decades, So.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
It's Tilmon's been around forever.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yeah, Neil Diamond's been around forever, but this sounds like
the late sixties. He's still good. Oh yeah, he not
love Neil Diamond. He passed away. Correct, No, oh, he's
still He's started touring.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I think. Yeah, Parkinson's darn it. That sucks something like that.
So he had to stop.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
All right, I'm late sixties now. Is this the number
one song?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Okay? Yeah, this is number one. This was covered by
Mariah Carey in the early nineties, but this is the
original song that made it to the top.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Oh My Jackson five yep, I'll be and that is okay,
and that sounds like young Michael Jackson Yep.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
That's before the moon walk out right.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
This sounds like kid Michael Jackson. Yep, Okay, Jackson five
were the early seventies, seventy seventy one, seventy two. So
I'll split the difference and I'll say this Rick is
nineteen seventy one, seventy one.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Nineteen seventy one. That's your final answer.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
That's my that's my final answer. It's not gonna be right.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Well, you were close, Tony, it was nineteen seventy aah
close with no cigar.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I'm usually not too We are usually not too far off,
so we usually miss it by a year or two,
which we meet some some people that listen to the show.
They're like, I can't believe how good you guys are
at that game. I'm like, I'm mean, neither. But you
can break them down the decades. You can narrow it
down to three or four years just by the sound
of it, you know, before Beatles, after Beatles. Late sixties
(24:59):
is always the age of Aquarius sounding stuff. Early sixties
is do wop and all that and the and the
Beach Boys. You can really kind of nail it down.
Seventies are the same way.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, a lot of times just one song will give
it away.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
And seventies were disco wrapped up things for the decade,
and the early was of the stuff you just heard.
But all right, in nineteen seventy one, all right, do
you go to haunted houses at all? Have you been
to any of the haunted houses during Halloween?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Uh, it's been a long time. I'd been to a
few of them. Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
The last one I went to was the Haunted Forest
and this was fifteen years ago, and it was the
darn scariest damn thing I've ever been through. Dude.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Where you go through the cornfield, No.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
This was you went through the woods. You go through
the woods, dude, and it was absolutely terrifying.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
I think they're doing that right now over there at
the Sawyer. Oh are they? Yeah, this was television yesterday. Now.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
This was out in the South. This was off Dixie
Highway and it was a It was you walk through
a path in the forest. They had a person in
a scuba diving outfit but dressed up like a scary
person that was in the water and they would jump
out of the water at you. Dude. Wow, they had
you know. It was a dirt path and they built
an entire shed, and you opened the shed and in
(26:18):
the shed on the dirt floor was the like a well.
It was, And it was right after that movie the
ring came out and you're standing there and all of
a sudden that the strobe like starts and the girl,
the twelve year old girl is crawling out of the
well at you, and you start screaming. You bust open
the other doors and running. Well, you're looking back to
(26:38):
see if they're chase she's chasing us, and you turn
back around and they have another one of them standing
in the middle. So right when you turn around, I
was like, this is the best one I've ever been to.
Of course, the QMF Haunted Hotel that was down near
a Churchill Downs that was always we sponsored that one.
That was a couple of guys that did They were
Hollywood special effects. They worked on all the big horror films.
(27:02):
They and as a family there was three or four
families and they would come move here during Halloween and
use all of their special effects from Hollywood in that
in that Haunted Hotel. It was a giant creepy house
near Churchill Downs and there's actually a lot of creepy
houses near Churchill Downs, but this one was that was
pretty good. I love doing my remotes out there.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
All right.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I say that because the top haunted hotels in US.
Here's the ones. If you're traveling this October, stop in
on any of these. If you're gonna be up in
New York, go to the Fainting Goat Island Inn. Would
you stay there on purpose? I don't think so. Nichols,
(27:49):
New York. The former railroad hotel built in the eighteen hundreds,
has reported numerous ghostly encounters, like being woken in the
in the night by void, seeing two women sitting for
tea in the fainting room boy. Others have reported hearing
footsteps on the staircase that don't exist, and finding child
(28:12):
sized chairs that had somehow moved next to the bed
in the middle of the night. That sounds like the
was it the Blair Blair Witch Projects? It sounds like
some of the conjuring movies too, the one that takes
a place in Britain, right o, Creepy Fainting Goat Island Inn. No,
(28:35):
thank you?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
The Queen Mary Ocean liners have always been great horror
film places to set. The Ocean Liner, the Queen Mary,
originally launched in nineteen thirty four. I believe they used
it as a medical frigate during the Second World War,
is now one of Long Beach's most notable and most
(28:58):
haunted hotel. Both you can stay on the original Queen
Mary as a hotel. Both visitors and guests can take
the Haunted Encounters or graveyard tours, or go to the
Paranormal ship Walk to learn more about the ghostly residents
that call the ship home while also enjoying the opulent,
(29:20):
authentic Art Deco style cabins and amenites. The Queen Mary.
The Queen Mary the Alaskan. If you're up in Alaska,
a lot of people take cruises now because it's in
the middle of you know, it's not before winter, so
it's all beautiful. It's fall. The Alaskan Hotel and Bar.
(29:44):
This historic Alaskan hotel and bar has a storied past,
having served as a speakeasy in a brothel, and it
once shut down even condemned. Several legends exist about the hotel,
including one about the Room three fifteen. The story goes
that the room was found to be covered in blood
(30:06):
after a Navy soldier jumped out of the window. No
one ever found out what caused the blood in the
first place. The Alaskan Hotel in Bob lastly the Fawnsworth
Hotel or sorry, the Farnsworth House Inn in Gettysburg. You know,
(30:27):
if it's near Gettysburg is gonna be haunted, dude. So
many soldiers tragically died in that war, right that Gettysburg
was the turning point. Known for being one of the
most haunted places in the country, this Victorian inn has
housed everyone from Confederate sharpshooters to curious travelers since the
eighteen hundreds. Named after Brigadier General Elon John Farnsworth. That
(30:53):
sounds like a Confederate colonel General Elon John Funsworth, leader
of the Doomed Charge during the Battle of Gettysburg, so
his troop is found wandering the property at Farnsworth House Inn.
(31:14):
It's a hotel with loads of haunted history, ten comfortable
and highly adored rooms to choose from. I might stay there.
That sounds fun. You're welcome to book a stay and
take part in one of the many tours such as
the Haunted Seller Tour and Attic Whispers and Seller Shadows.
The Faunsworth House Inn, so if you are one of
(31:37):
those Civil War people that are interested in that era,
I think you hit a certain age and you have
to start being interested in the Civil War. During COVID,
when I was super bored sitting at home, I started
watching documentaries on the Civil War and I was like,
my wife walked by and watched it.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Went oh, okay, well, my wife loves that stuff. It's
interesting on the History Channel and things like that.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
It's interesting to me because there's so many because you know,
photography was in its you know, it was just really
getting going right right, But they're the pictures of where
it is, like the picture of the area then are now,
and then the pictures of all the bodies and the
dead soldiers, and they match them up, like this is
(32:24):
what you're looking at the area, and that's what it is,
and all the bodies were right here because there's landmarks,
there's rocks, and you know, and even trees obviously that
are that are still there. So people go to Gettysburg
all the time. So don't forget fonds Worth House in
on your tour of haunted hotels in the United States.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I bet you.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
In Europe, dude, the castles are probably pretty haunted.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Oh sure, right.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
If it's a seven hundred year old castle, everyone and
countless people have died in it. Because that's why you
did You didn't you know, you didn't die in a hospital.
You died at home. Yeah, that's right, and you died
in your castle, all right, Just trying to get I
love Halloween more than I like Thanksgiving. Now, I know
(33:10):
it's I know, it's exact religiousation.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
There's a lot of people that decorate more for Halloween
than they do for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Oh, there's no question people go all out for Halloween. No,
Like I said, it's the six and twenty dollars for
a family now to decorate, to buy they decorations. All right,
we're going to take a short break. Unlimited Landscapes, folks,
If you want to build a pool in your backyard,
it's not a scary, scary event. The planning is very easy.
(33:40):
Steve Butler is the owner and has been the owner
for thirty years. He has architects and designers. They will
look at your backyard and say, yes, we can do it.
You can get a fire pit in the kitchen, swim
up bar, whatever you want. Unlimited Landscapes. Finally, in a
child that you've lost with a new pool, and right
(34:05):
now is the perfect time to start planning unlimited landscapes
dot com
All right, we brought to you by the Kentucky Officeive
Highway Safety. Please buckle up, put the phone down, Slow
down while you're going through construction sites, which is everywhere
in the city of Louisville and seems seems like in
the in Kentucky. So please, you would not believe in
a number of accidents that happened, and these poor construction
guys work in the most dangerous zones there is, so
(00:22):
please be careful as you go through there. We're going
to talk about the possible juvenile curfew, which in my opinion,
has to happen. I'm experiencing a lot of trouble in
the neighborhood. But here's how my brain works. So I
was talking about harvest homecoming and then it was like
I was like, Kentucky Harvester, we used rick. You were
(00:46):
in town when Kentucky Harvester. Where was the plant and
it'll still have it?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I think it was around Critin and Drive.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Critin Drive. That makes sense. They were part of International Harvester, right,
that's correct, Okay, all right, and they are still around, yes, barely,
are barely right?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
They're hanging in there.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, Okay, International Harvester DA DA DA I often abbreviation
abbreviated as IH. I guess you see, Oh yes, I
see that it looks like a tractor, but it says IH.
I just remember growing up and it was Why was
it called Kentucky Harvester and not International Harvester? Does anybody
know that?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I do not? Okay, I draw a blank on that one.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
In Texas it was always International Harvester and their Scout,
their Scout SUVs that used.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
To have International Harvester Company DA DA DA DA American
Manufacturing and Agriculture and construction equipment, automobiles, commercial trucks, lawn
and garden products, household equipment formed in nineteen o two.
But I remember Kentucky Harvester being a big thing. It
was Ford, Kentucky Harvester, and ge where the big manufacturers
(01:54):
in Louisville, and a ton of people worked at either
one of those places. It was just a big, big
deal back then. But I remember Kentucky and plus Kentucky
Harvester was in a movie called Gremlins Gremlins two yes, yeah,
something like yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a Kentucky Harvester
in that.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Talk about don't use those cheap Japanese parts. You got
to use Kentucky harvester, all American parts, all.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Right, man, So let's talk about what's going on in
America around here. Look in Louisville years ago, under the
last mayor's administration, Greg Fisher, he had closed down the
juvenile Detention Center in and on all honesty, it was
run down and there were some issues with the place,
(02:42):
but every good intention has results, and good intentions aren't enough,
so they closed it. And it was a very I
guess quick transition to criminals are going to use teenagers
to commit crime because we have no place to take
them if we arrest them, so they just get back
(03:03):
out on the street or not even.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Charge them, right, And that's what's been happening.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
And now I have this feeling that the kids are
doing it on their own. They're not even re run
by gangs. It's twelve to fifteen year olds because that's all.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
They can very build, very much be being run by
the gangs at that age because they know that they're
going to get a slap on the wrist and be
out forty five minutes after they're taken.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Down to what I'm saying, I think some of these
guys are young op entrepreneurs. I think they're doing their
own Yeah, they're freelancing, and I'm sure you're correct. It's
all connected to gangs and all that stuff. But Mayor
Greenberg has done a good job of Look, Shields got
in there, they had a game plan. They were implementing
common sense policing in tactics to get to the gangs
(03:44):
to shut it down. And oh, in a miracle, common
sense policing and the homicides go down. Huh. If you try,
you can get it done because the police will tell you.
We know exactly where they are, we know who they are,
and we know where they hang out. We just go
get them. That worked, so a curfew to me, and
(04:05):
it's not crazy now other cities have done it forever.
If you're under fifteen, got to be in by nine,
over fifteen to eighteen or seventeen, it's midnight.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Because some of them work right.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
And different days you get different hours. But as you
just ran. Greenberg was on my show yesterday and he
made a good point. Until you reopen the juvenile detention center,
we can't do that, John Chanda.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah, there's no way.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
There's no way to put any teeth into the enforcement
of a curfew, no matter how you implement it, whether
it's stepped by age or whatever. If there's no place
to put them, if you're going to pick them up
and arrest them for curfew violation and have no place
to take them, then it's the same issue as if
you arrest them for doing a crime. I did like
one thing the mayor said yesterday that kind of flew
(04:54):
under the radar. He said, parents can set their own
curfews as well.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Right, it's common sense.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You know, you and I grew up and I know
Rick did too. Under the time of when the street
light comes on your home. Now, granted that's summertime, but yeah,
when the streets lights come on, your butt better be
in the house.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah, parents can, I mean it can start at home.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
They can do a version of broken windows policing in
their own neighborhoods and watch some of these kids. But
nobody does anymore. But back to your point, Yeah, the
detention center has to be finished for there to be
any teeth in any kind of city ordinance for a
curfew on kids.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
They're saying early twenty twenty seven, so another year and
a couple of months is what they're maybe year and
a half. Right, it's too long.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I know, And he said he made the comment yesterday.
They are trying to get it open sooner. They're trying
to push to get the deadlines moved up. I'm not
sure how bad a condition this place was in, but
to take two years to getting.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
A makeshift, can we just find a building and make
a makeshift place that we can do this in again?
I say this because am I angry because there's a
house broken into on my street every single night? Yeah? Yeah,
but it's sad because if you look on these ring
cameras and these I have four cameras on my house,
if you look and see who it is, they're kids.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Yeah, and he didn't go too.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yes, it's groups of them working in teams. They use
that initiative to actual businesses. These kids would be very successful, right,
but they are. They were looking for guns the other night,
and that's what they're looking for. They smashed out four
trucks they I guess they think people that own pickup
trucks have guns under the seat that.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Or you know, not in your case, but you know,
I've never I'm a gun owner, and I have stored
it in my car if I've had to go somewhere
where they won't let guns come into the building. But
the one thing I don't do is I don't advertise
on my back window that I'm a gun owner.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Oh no, Well, and then, and by the way, if
you've got a comment on this, whether there should be
a curfew for kids, or if you're having trouble. I
was standing in a room of five people and they
lived about two or three miles from my house, and
I was talking about this, and the lady's standing next
to me goes, oh, yeah, they got my car right
out of the driveway. She lives in Norbourne Estates, which
(07:09):
is just right down the street. It's about a mile away.
But she said, and we had jammed it up to
where her husband's car was right up, nudged against her,
and she was first in the driveway. Because you're thinking
they're going to steal the one that's in the back,
she goes, no, they they got my car started. And
she goes, they drove through the flower bed of the
next door house, next door neighbor's house and took off
(07:30):
in it. They stole the first car in the driveway.
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
If that's what they're wanting and what needs to be
stolen to get parts at a chop shop or whatever. Yeah,
they'll they'll drive. They'll drive over your grandmother to get
out of the driveway. You brought up something the other
day talking about Halloween stuff and it was called positive fear.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Why could healthy dose healthy dose of fear?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Five seven, one eight four eight four. If you have
a comment, by the.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Way, why not do something, Okay, until the juvenile Detention
center's open, find some of these kids and do a
Scared Straight where they take them through the jail and
let them talk to these people at LMDC about what
life is like in there and what they can expect.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah, I remember those and it's in just watching the video.
Scared Straight scared me as a kid.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
And their job was, and.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Basically Scared Straight was they took a group of kids
from twelve to fifteen years old, and they took them
to prisons, and they chose the people that would scare them,
and they put them in a room with these folks
and they scared the crap out of them. Is this
the life that you want? You take them tough.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
They took them on a tour of the hardcore part
of the detention center and let them experience these guys,
these acting like animals at the bar, saying hey, you know, hey,
fresh meat fish whatever. You know, you're you're going to
be in here with me one day. And then they
took some of these guys that really want to sit
there and right and set them down in a room
and talked with these kids and have some real talk
(08:52):
with them.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Even the ones that you know, there's always one or
two in the group that were like, I know, you
can't touch me, and they would make faces and do
all this stuff. Even even those kids, by the end
of the Scared Straight session they were in tears or
they were like, I'm not doing this. I don't want
to do this. No, I think that's a great program. Look,
we've thrown so many things at the wall on this issue, but.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
You know, hey, don't don't leave any option on the table.
Is the way I look at it. If you got
to get this on control, all the other stats are
coming down. I mean that's verifiable on their on their
crime dashboard, but the juvenile stats are not.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, I think I'm telling you a lot of initiative.
I just said, you throw it against the wall. We
got to see what sticks. I think this initiative of
a curfew would work if you're going to detain them
from more than just a look, and not just until
a parent gets there, but until your charges are filed,
whatever it is, and send them to juvie.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, and just and because I'm you know, I mean,
get off, get off my yard kind of guy. Something
needs to be done to the parents too, to make
it hurt.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
This happens.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Shield said that, and so did the mayor. There has
to be consequences for the parents or parent or grandparent
or whoever is raising uh said child. But if you
talk to teachers, they're like, this is because I posted
that or HS posted the interview yesterday, and I got,
you know, some calls or text messages from friends that
are teachers. He goes, you have no idea. It's across
(10:15):
the board. I mean, it's all the kids, no matter
what demo demographic you're looking at, they're all like that.
And these kids are and it goes back to what
I've been screaming about, which is school used to be.
You went to school for six hours. Now, are any
of those callers going through or do we have the
names I saw two of them there, Rick, he's on
(10:38):
the phone with one. Parents now believe the schools are
there to raise their child.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Well, I mean when you've got all kinds of pre
pre uh, it's.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Like, that's just look, it's six hours you go home.
Lunch was there, but you always used to have to
buy lunch out. They're feeding the child all day.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
At all night, first lunch and dinner, which.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Again, saddest thing in the world is seeing a kid
that's hungry. That's why I'm involved with blessings in a
backpack so they have food to eat at home. But
it's not the it shouldn't be the school's responsibility to
feed your child breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That's not that's
your job, is a that's a basic job of a parent.
That's a basic job of a parent is to feed
(11:27):
your child. And a lot of them. Again, in some
neighborhoods it's they're raised by one grandparent or whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Thank goodness for that grandparent be there.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
In some cases, Rick, did any of those callers, I
saw a bunch of them pop.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
On bad connections on these I couldn't get in the stick.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I just got a text that said, some of the
homes might be scarier than jail.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Possibly, and that's probably that maybe why they're on the street.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, it's you know, these kids deserve a chance. But
then when they choose to get in a car and
I don't know how they're getting there, if they're twelve
to fifteen years old, I guess someone is dropping them off.
We figure out where they park, and they jump out,
they go do the neighborhood, and then they run back
and they're gone. The police can't chase because they're liable
(12:14):
for any damage or you know, they run over a
mailbox or god forbid, a dog or a person. You know,
they're liable for that. Yeah, so the cops are not
going to chase the car that's driving forty five miles
an hour down whatever street in a neighborhood because of that, right,
And yeah, because they catch twenty two. Yeah, they really are.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
They're darned if they do, and darned if they don't,
because you know, if they do, they, like you said,
they run the risk of injury and lawsuit, and no
police officer wants to be involved in a lawsuit personal
injury lawsuit like that. Or if they don't, the kids
get away and keep doing more crimes.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And I don't want to get to that point because
we've been in this spot before. To a certain extent.
Block watches were a new thing when I was in
high school. Like the signs went up and then you
signed up, and then someone would stay up to two
in the morning or whatever, and they would walk the
neighborhood with flashlights and stuff and you were part of
the block watch and you got you did it once
a month or you know, once every other week or
whatever it was. And it was a big thing for
(13:09):
a while. So we've had crimes in neighborhoods that don't
usually have it before. But now I'm talking about I
don't know the you know these flock cameras or the
cameras do I want cameras everywhere in Saint Matthew's like
they do like downtown, they have a live crime Room.
I've been in there. It's a facility across the street
from where we are right now, four Street live at
(13:30):
Metro Safe, and it's a it looks like I'm in
a Tom Cruise movie and this is the CIA or NSA, right,
and it's all It's called the Live Crime Room because
they have cameras everywhere HD. They can zoom in and
they can they're predicting the crime before it happens. You're like,
look at this guy, what's what's what's gonna happen now?
And they can see the crime before it happens and
(13:51):
get police there. It's kind of a neat tool for
them to use that. But do I want those on
every street? I'm almost like, yeah, yeah, I kind I
kind of want Saint Matthews to invest in these cameras
in these neighborhoods and just at least be able to say, oh,
here we go.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, but do you want to to your point, do
you want it to turn into the minority Report? I mean,
look at look at someplace like New York City where
you can't spit without hitting a poll. It's got five
six different cameras pointing five six different directions.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
But doesn't everybody have a ring camera anyway? I mean yeah, yeah,
most most streets.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
And what happens when when when somebody is there for
a crime, what's the first thing that happens.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, you also got those too.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, the camera the people.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah, and they'll post them viral, So I mean they
can snatch them off social media that way too. And
I've done reports where, uh the police when Dwight Mitchell
or Matt Sanderson's out of release, they'll say, if anybody
has ring ring camera footage or any kind of security
camera footage, could you please let us see it related
to this cat.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
In a smaller way, the malls had to go to that. Yeah,
Oxmore Mall and the mall Saint Matthew's. I remember going
to Jac Pennies and it's the double decker and they
have an escalator and it was always broken and I
think I was out loud thinking and one of the
ladies that works there said, yeah, she goes. The teenagers
(15:11):
come in in groups of like fifty and then they
jump up and down on the escalators like every week,
and they bust it and then they run and laugh
and run off until the mall and Oxmoor they have
a police force, a mall police force and mall cops
and you if you're under eighteen. They threw my son
(15:33):
and his friends out when they were in high school.
They're like, you, it's six o'clock, six o'clock, you got
to get out.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Good for them?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, No, And they've kind of cleaned it up. Yeah,
because there were some issues at both malls.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, we were part of that. Remember a few years
ago with the mall Saint Matthew's where they had that
riot with all those young kids at the Bounce Park. Yeah,
well my wife and I were there at the mall
that night when that happened. That was really scary as like, yeah,
all of a sudden, this I heard of kids were
just they basically took over them all. And right after
(16:03):
that's when they put that curfew into effect where I
think if you were under sixteen you had to be
a company.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, and it's worked. Yeah, and it worked. It's a
lot better.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
That's why I'm saying in a bigger way, can we
implement this in the city of Louisville because other cities
have done it.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
So let me ask this, just because I don't know
the inner workings. Could Saint Matthews's, Could your wife of
the Saint Matthew City Council do one just for Saint Matthews.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Could Jeffersontown do their own? Does it have to go
through Metro?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's a great question of them.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Because I mean you could start little if if Louisville
is constrained by the detention center metro itself. Why not
have maybe Saint Matthews or Jtown or some of the
smaller places shively that has their own police force do
this on their own and implement question Council.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
That's a great question. I will tell you I'm not
playing stupid games if this continues. I'm a lifetime Saint
Matthew's guy, right, I'm not playing stupid games. If I
have to, if I have to secure or in my
house like Fort Knox every single night for my family
to feel safe, I'm moving.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Yeah, and nobody should have to go away.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I'm moving. And then you were asking questions of why
everybody's going outside the circle. Why Bullet County, why Henry County,
why Oldham County are growing exponentially. It's because people are like,
I'm sick of it, dude, I don't want to and
I get out here. There's you know, uh, there's.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I guess when you move in next to me down
in Etown, I'll know you've had it done.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I ain't going that far. I ain't going that far.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
We'll find you in Mount Washing.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, but it is. It's a real problem. And I
think there are some solutions, we just got to get
to them. And sometimes, like I said, good intentions aren't enough.
We see a lot of initiatives that have good intentions
that end up blowing up in your face and the
(17:52):
results are way worse than what you ever had before
because of good intentions. Policy matters. Closing the facility the
juvenile detention center was a bad idea and this city
it's cost this city good intentions. The oil slicks spill
(18:13):
in Louisiana, why was it in deep water where they
can't get to it, because they passed a good intention
law of we don't want these oil drilling facilities closer
to the shore in case there's a spill, Well, if
it's closer to the shore and in shallow water, we
can get to it and fix it. They pushed it
out far enough to where it's in a mile deep
(18:34):
of water.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah, and they're not talking like two or three feet
of water when they say shallow water. They're talking four
or five hundred feet of water. And they did say, well,
that's too shallow, we don't want it there, So they move
them to the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, where
you're looking at eight thousand feet just to get down
to the.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Good intention policy which everybody's goes, Well, that makes sense.
Make them make those guys if they want to earn
their go oil, then make them go get it, because
I don't want it right next to the shore, because
then they will damage our industry and our beaches.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Well, guess what that happened anyway, because you couldn't get
it capped right because it was in such deep water.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
And too far out to get a good supply chain
of right rescue resources as well to it in any
amount of time.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Good intentions hard enough? What's what's the road to help
paved with good intentions?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Look at you quoting who was that? Who said that?
Is that? That's not in the Bible?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I don't know. Oh boy, now we're in there. Dwight,
there's nowhere is Dwight the Bible guy?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Oh he's Sammy's down in Cabo.
Speaker 1 (19:30):

eighty two. I can't remember which one we got No.
Seventy eight, I'm sorry he went nineteen seventy eight. I
don't know what you have in charge or in store
for us today, Rick, but you're pretty good at this game.
This is where we play song or he will play
songs that charted today. I guess the year. It's brought
(20:35):
to you by Gustavos. I got a whole bunch of
good songs here, okay, here we go, readling in the years,
flying so low.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Okay, here we go song number four, basic miss on
the Billboard Hot one hundred chart on this day for
this year or so, here we go, number.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Four, nineteen seventies. Uh, I can't believe I can't remember
this name of the song.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Soon all right now about free.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, free, all right now. Yes, we played this a
million times back in the day, and we used to
do these WQMF albums, like compilation cassettes or CDs or albums,
and this was always on it.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I think a fee of these guys eventually became bad company.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I'm sure they did. Oh, yes they did. Yeah, it
is correct.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
That is correct.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
All right, So nineteen seventies, I'm gonna go seventy six,
seventy seven, right now.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Okay, that was a song number four. Here's song number three.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Boom boom, Now this is sounding earlier seventy three. Maybe
this Frankenstein.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Oh this is green eyed lady, Green eyed lady.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Duh, I'm sorry, sugarloaf nod lady. No, this is more
sixty nine seventy seventy one. Green Eyed Lady is Yeah,
this was their only this was there. This one had
wonder back.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
They had a song in seventy five called We'll call.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
You green Eyed lead in Fashion Lady. This is it,
all right, It's I'm Gonna Go seventy three.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Okay, that's song number three. The song number two, Don't
Don't Don't. Song number two is basically a love song
to a bottle of wine.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Okay, he was sixties. Well he expanded, he was decades, So.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
It's Tilmon's been around forever.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yeah, Neil Diamond's been around forever, but this sounds like
the late sixties. He's still good. Oh yeah, he not
love Neil Diamond. He passed away. Correct, No, oh, he's
still He's started touring.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I think. Yeah, Parkinson's darn it. That sucks something like that.
So he had to stop.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
All right, I'm late sixties now. Is this the number
one song?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Okay? Yeah, this is number one. This was covered by
Mariah Carey in the early nineties, but this is the
original song that made it to the top.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Oh My Jackson five yep, I'll be and that is okay,
and that sounds like young Michael Jackson Yep.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
That's before the moon walk out right.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
This sounds like kid Michael Jackson. Yep, Okay, Jackson five
were the early seventies, seventy seventy one, seventy two. So
I'll split the difference and I'll say this Rick is
nineteen seventy one, seventy one.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Nineteen seventy one. That's your final answer.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
That's my that's my final answer. It's not gonna be right.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Well, you were close, Tony, it was nineteen seventy aah
close with no cigar.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I'm usually not too We are usually not too far off,
so we usually miss it by a year or two,
which we meet some some people that listen to the show.
They're like, I can't believe how good you guys are
at that game. I'm like, I'm mean, neither. But you
can break them down the decades. You can narrow it
down to three or four years just by the sound
of it, you know, before Beatles, after Beatles. Late sixties
(24:59):
is always the age of Aquarius sounding stuff. Early sixties
is do wop and all that and the and the
Beach Boys. You can really kind of nail it down.
Seventies are the same way.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, a lot of times just one song will give
it away.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
And seventies were disco wrapped up things for the decade,
and the early was of the stuff you just heard.
But all right, in nineteen seventy one, all right, do
you go to haunted houses at all? Have you been
to any of the haunted houses during Halloween?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Uh, it's been a long time. I'd been to a
few of them. Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
The last one I went to was the Haunted Forest
and this was fifteen years ago, and it was the
darn scariest damn thing I've ever been through. Dude.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Where you go through the cornfield, No.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
This was you went through the woods. You go through
the woods, dude, and it was absolutely terrifying.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
I think they're doing that right now over there at
the Sawyer. Oh are they? Yeah, this was television yesterday. Now.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
This was out in the South. This was off Dixie
Highway and it was a It was you walk through
a path in the forest. They had a person in
a scuba diving outfit but dressed up like a scary
person that was in the water and they would jump
out of the water at you. Dude. Wow, they had
you know. It was a dirt path and they built
an entire shed, and you opened the shed and in
(26:18):
the shed on the dirt floor was the like a well.
It was, And it was right after that movie the
ring came out and you're standing there and all of
a sudden that the strobe like starts and the girl,
the twelve year old girl is crawling out of the
well at you, and you start screaming. You bust open
the other doors and running. Well, you're looking back to
(26:38):
see if they're chase she's chasing us, and you turn
back around and they have another one of them standing
in the middle. So right when you turn around, I
was like, this is the best one I've ever been to.
Of course, the QMF Haunted Hotel that was down near
a Churchill Downs that was always we sponsored that one.
That was a couple of guys that did They were
Hollywood special effects. They worked on all the big horror films.
(27:02):
They and as a family there was three or four
families and they would come move here during Halloween and
use all of their special effects from Hollywood in that
in that Haunted Hotel. It was a giant creepy house
near Churchill Downs and there's actually a lot of creepy
houses near Churchill Downs, but this one was that was
pretty good. I love doing my remotes out there.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
All right.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I say that because the top haunted hotels in US.
Here's the ones. If you're traveling this October, stop in
on any of these. If you're gonna be up in
New York, go to the Fainting Goat Island Inn. Would
you stay there on purpose? I don't think so. Nichols,
(27:49):
New York. The former railroad hotel built in the eighteen hundreds,
has reported numerous ghostly encounters, like being woken in the
in the night by void, seeing two women sitting for
tea in the fainting room boy. Others have reported hearing
footsteps on the staircase that don't exist, and finding child
(28:12):
sized chairs that had somehow moved next to the bed
in the middle of the night. That sounds like the
was it the Blair Blair Witch Projects? It sounds like
some of the conjuring movies too, the one that takes
a place in Britain, right o, Creepy Fainting Goat Island Inn. No,
(28:35):
thank you?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
The Queen Mary Ocean liners have always been great horror
film places to set. The Ocean Liner, the Queen Mary,
originally launched in nineteen thirty four. I believe they used
it as a medical frigate during the Second World War,
is now one of Long Beach's most notable and most
(28:58):
haunted hotel. Both you can stay on the original Queen
Mary as a hotel. Both visitors and guests can take
the Haunted Encounters or graveyard tours, or go to the
Paranormal ship Walk to learn more about the ghostly residents
that call the ship home while also enjoying the opulent,
(29:20):
authentic Art Deco style cabins and amenites. The Queen Mary.
The Queen Mary the Alaskan. If you're up in Alaska,
a lot of people take cruises now because it's in
the middle of you know, it's not before winter, so
it's all beautiful. It's fall. The Alaskan Hotel and Bar.
(29:44):
This historic Alaskan hotel and bar has a storied past,
having served as a speakeasy in a brothel, and it
once shut down even condemned. Several legends exist about the hotel,
including one about the Room three fifteen. The story goes
that the room was found to be covered in blood
(30:06):
after a Navy soldier jumped out of the window. No
one ever found out what caused the blood in the
first place. The Alaskan Hotel in Bob lastly the Fawnsworth
Hotel or sorry, the Farnsworth House Inn in Gettysburg. You know,
(30:27):
if it's near Gettysburg is gonna be haunted, dude. So
many soldiers tragically died in that war, right that Gettysburg
was the turning point. Known for being one of the
most haunted places in the country, this Victorian inn has
housed everyone from Confederate sharpshooters to curious travelers since the
eighteen hundreds. Named after Brigadier General Elon John Farnsworth. That
(30:53):
sounds like a Confederate colonel General Elon John Funsworth, leader
of the Doomed Charge during the Battle of Gettysburg, so
his troop is found wandering the property at Farnsworth House Inn.
(31:14):
It's a hotel with loads of haunted history, ten comfortable
and highly adored rooms to choose from. I might stay there.
That sounds fun. You're welcome to book a stay and
take part in one of the many tours such as
the Haunted Seller Tour and Attic Whispers and Seller Shadows.
The Faunsworth House Inn, so if you are one of
(31:37):
those Civil War people that are interested in that era,
I think you hit a certain age and you have
to start being interested in the Civil War. During COVID,
when I was super bored sitting at home, I started
watching documentaries on the Civil War and I was like,
my wife walked by and watched it.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Went oh, okay, well, my wife loves that stuff. It's
interesting on the History Channel and things like that.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
It's interesting to me because there's so many because you know,
photography was in its you know, it was just really
getting going right right, But they're the pictures of where
it is, like the picture of the area then are now,
and then the pictures of all the bodies and the
dead soldiers, and they match them up, like this is
(32:24):
what you're looking at the area, and that's what it is,
and all the bodies were right here because there's landmarks,
there's rocks, and you know, and even trees obviously that
are that are still there. So people go to Gettysburg
all the time. So don't forget fonds Worth House in
on your tour of haunted hotels in the United States.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I bet you.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
In Europe, dude, the castles are probably pretty haunted.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Oh sure, right.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
If it's a seven hundred year old castle, everyone and
countless people have died in it. Because that's why you
did You didn't you know, you didn't die in a hospital.
You died at home. Yeah, that's right, and you died
in your castle, all right, Just trying to get I
love Halloween more than I like Thanksgiving. Now, I know
(33:10):
it's I know, it's exact religiousation.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
There's a lot of people that decorate more for Halloween
than they do for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Oh, there's no question people go all out for Halloween. No,
Like I said, it's the six and twenty dollars for
a family now to decorate, to buy they decorations. All right,
