Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, welcome back our number three, the Tony and
(00:02):
Dwight Show. Dwight still trying to get the cob always
on a tarmac the Muhammad Ali International Airport, sending me
text messages that I can't read on the air. We
are brought to you by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety.
Please buckle up, put the phone down, and slow down
during those construction zones that are all over Louisville. No
no reason to speed today, and we bring in the
(00:24):
big guy, Mayor Greenberg. How are you, sir.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I'm doing well, Tony. I'm really thankful for all the
folks that have been working for the last twenty four
hours to get ready for the snow event and have
been brining and salt assaulting and now plowing, and we're
going to stay at it until the roads are back
to where they need to be.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
They've done a great job. Bill Bell and that company
have done a great job directing all that. I started
the show by saying the salt trucks, workers and refs
are the same way. They've done a great job. If
you don't notice it, that's right, right right. So this
(01:02):
morning I drove in. It was a perfect situation, and
the game plan was perfect. You lay down the brine
yesterday afternoon, and I know they had fifteen trucks out
yesterday and then so that the ice can do their
job or the salt can do their job. And I
think it all came together because there was a significant snowfall.
There was there was at my house. There was five
(01:23):
or six inches on top of the of the truck
this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah, I think different different people had different measurements. The
official from the National Weather Service, I guess this was
at the airport was three point three inches, but I
know a lot of folks have told me they had
more than five. Well, I think we lost historically bad
weather for time and time again. But we didn't brine
(01:47):
as much last year, and we brought a consulting in.
We realized we needed to do more brining. And now
you're seeing the results of improved brining today with what's
going on in the road. So we'll continue to stay
at it.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Though I was at the Jay this weekend. They were
honoring four former sports athletes at the Jewish Community Center.
I didn't see uh, I didn't see any of your name.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You didn't you didn't see me? You know, as I
mentioned last time, I think you know I was really
good at warming the bench at Nasketon. That was about
all I contributed to athleticism JA, but I had a
lot of good friends.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
No, I know you did. I know it's a great place.
I will say this because I want to bring it
up because I think it's important. They haven't had the
Christmas Carol at Actors Theater the last I think six years. Uh,
and they finally got smart and brought it back. I
screwed up because I got tickets for Wednesday night, which
is tomorrow night in Louisville plays Arkansas. Uh, but I
(02:43):
am going to that. Are you gonna get get out
and see a Christmas Carol at Actors Theater this year?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Well, I'm really excited that they brought it back. Right now,
I don't have plans to, but I still might try
to sit it in. I'm also really excited about a
couple other things, and that is the Orchestra is going
to be back for Little Full Valet's performance of The Nutcracker,
and those organizations are working closely together, and so actually
Metro Council. I'm hoping he's going to support my proposal
(03:09):
to support that new initiative of their collaboration. And then
also this Saturday, after you go see Christmas Carol, after
the Cards beat Arkansas, light Up Louisville on Saturday. It's
gonna be amazing three, three to nine downtown got it's
gonna be the biggest and best yet. We've got this
projection light show of that turns Metro Hall. I can't
(03:31):
even explain it, just trust me, it's awesome. We've got
a light parade that starts at six o'clock. They're shopping,
there's food, there's beverages. I don't know if does sound
like dright side of town, so he won't be there,
but there are there's good, good, warm beverages for both
the kids and adults that he would enjoy. I know,
all right, all time.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
So okay, So if I plan this out, so what
time can I get down there? Where am I going for?
Light Up Louisville? Okay?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
So Light Up Louisville is three to nine and the
parade starts at six, followed by the projection show on
Metro Hall. It's right at Metro Hall and Jefferson Square Park,
right there in the heart of downtown. But all the
front of Metro Hall. We're going to be closing down
the roads and Jefferson Square Park so people can get
pictures with mister and Missus Claus. There's lots of things
(04:19):
for kids to do, lots of things to shop and eat.
It's all free, it's family friendly and if you want
to do something earlier in the morning. I'm literally just
getting back to Metro Hall from the Portland Library. We
just open the new renovated Portland Library and they're having
a Family Fun Day from ten to two on Saturday.
So there's a lot of stuff to do in addition
to sports and the wonderful Christmas shows that are going on.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And that is great for Portland because again, I don't
think people realize how many people use libraries. I know
it's a talking point for people in shows to say,
why don't we need libraries? The line the library in
Saint Matthew's is packed all the time. It is a
great resource, folks.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You'll like this stat then, Tony, nearly two million people
used our libraries in Louisville last year.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
You don't have to tell me. I'm tell these people
all the time. I'm like, no, libraries are packed all
the time. And there's computers there. There's book that you
can again, if you can't afford twenty eight dollars for
a new book, you go and then check it out
for God's sake.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, they've got a lot of new stuff there. I
saw lots of books from Taylor Swift to Kentucky history
where all at the new Portland Library, they have a
whole maker studio where you can you know, do lots
of creations as a podcasting studio of people. Because that
equipment is expensive, as you know, you can do you
right here at the low of a library for free.
So there's there's lots of different things beyond books also
(05:45):
and programming computers at this new Portland Library, but all
the other ones.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's great news. And I'm I got to say, I'm
disappointed in you, mister Greenberg.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
What is that for?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Please tell me, not that you need it today, but
you sold your convertible.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I did you know in this job I just hadn't
been enjoying. For those that don't know, I had a
nineteen seventy four Cadillac El Dorado convertible. It was beautiful
flight red leather interior. It had an eight track. I
a two eight tracks, one with a c DC back
in black. The other one was Elvis, but I just
wasn't using it anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
It was did Rachel. If Rachel have anything to do
with this, you're selling that.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
She never was the biggest fan of the convertible. But
you know it was a great fifteen years. I had
it while my boys were here and they grew up,
and you know, if I knew how to fix it,
maybe I would have kept it. But he recently bumped
into the person who bought it, and it's it's in
wonderful new hands. He loves it, and it was a
(06:46):
great run while it last.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I can, I can. I can tell in the tone
of your voice, because I think I know you that
well now that that you're your you miss it. I
can tell in the tone of your voice telling that story.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I definitely do. There was actually a day here's a
fun and here I'll give you one quick front Cadillac
convertible story. It was a day with even worse weather
than today, and my son, who was still in high
school at the time, saw that on Jack Carlow had
posted on Instagram. Does anyone have a convertible in Louisville
For tomorrow he's shooting a video and it turned out
(07:19):
he shot the video Route sixty six right here in Louisville,
and I drove that that convertible in snow down to
Joe's Crabshack. Go check out Jack Carlow's Route sixty six video.
You'll see that car in the video. It was not
much warmer than today when when they did it.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
That. I'm telling you, I bet you buy that darn
thing back like John Schnader did with his car. All right,
So last thing I want to say and then tell
us what they're going to do tonight. They're gonna I guess,
Brian and all that, right, They're gonna.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Get keep going as long as until the roads get
to be you know, back to dry and everything. So
we'll keep flowing and then hopefully, you know, by later
today you'll see even more improvement than you see right now.
I've driven a good part of the city right now,
and what I'm seeing on all of the snow route
routes were in good shape. Now. Of course there are
secondary roads that we don't plow, but we want to
make sure everyone has the ability to get everywhere safely.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Last thing, Mayor I led the show on Monday with
the two stories from l MPD. One was the the
rescuing of the young child in the house that was burning.
It looked like a TV show, UH, with the with
the with the with the camera shot from the from
the police officer with the flashlight and running through a
burning building to save an infant. And then the second
(08:36):
is how dangerous that the person that drove and we
will pray for that person's family and I believe they
found him today. But the divers for l MPD to
have to work in that sort of environment, freezing cold
and the and the current, and we talked about it
yesterday and how dangerous that is, UH speak on LMPD
and those two stories are are really crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Now they are. There's that type of heroism you see
every day at LMPD. Doesn't always make the news like
those two events that you described do, but that's what
they're doing every day. And we are so fortunate to
have the leadership of Chief Humphrey and his whole team
that's showing up to work every day in cold weather
like today and burning hot. We're so thankful to have
(09:21):
Chief O'Neil and the whole fire department that when we've
got a plane crash like we did for ups, they
run towards the danger, helping others. I'm going to continue
to support all of our first responders. I'm thrilled with
the new recruits that we're getting into the class. We're
going to continue to add people, particularly to LMPD. We
need more officers out there so they're preventing crime in
every neighborhood in the community. I know we've talked about
(09:43):
it before. What's happening in some neighborhoods right now, not
with necessarily shootings, but with property crime. Having more officers
than those neighborhoods is going to help with that. That's
why we're going to continue to support them and continue
to recruit more people into the LMPD family.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Amen, and I think you brought up a good point
that those police officers didn't have have to run into
that building, but they did what they did. What they did,
all right, Mayor, thank you, and thank Bill Bell and
everybody with with with the trucks. She all doing a
fantastic job. The roads look good, keep up the good work.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Thanks. I do, even if they're looking good, I do
want to encourage everyone to be safe. And take their
time today.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You got it, thanks may By. Yeah, John, could you
not tell in his tone when he was describing how
he sold the car, No, I love that.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
You asked, did your wife have anything to do with
the the rid of his car? Because that's how it
is like. If the wife sees something that their husband
has that just seems like an eye sore to them,
whatever it might be, Yes, they're going to find a
way one one way or another sometime down the road.
It might be a few years, but they're going to
plan a reason to get rid of whatever that thing
(10:49):
might be. In for his case, it was that car.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Absolutely motorcycles and cars, classic cars. The wife will start
to drop the little hints or wisest thing always in
my way. I don't care how large your garage it.
She was probably mentioning the damn thing was in her way. Okay,
I can't get in the garage because you got your
boat in there, all right? No, no, no, keep it. No,
you love it, you love it, so keep it. No,
(11:11):
you love it. But she was like he was pretty
honest with it too. Now, she was not a big
fan of the car. We love Rachel though, and they
do a great job with the roads and they have
this time, so we'll continue with those conversations because it's
going to be a long I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
It's December second. We I don't know if this is
true or not, but it's definitely. I feel like it's
been close to ten years since we've had a snow
like this before Christmas.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
When was the one where we all stayed at the hotel?
That was in January? It was in January. Okay, I
got you because we all stayed it was so bad.
That was pretty bad. That was eight inches. That was
pretty bad because we all stayed at the hotel across
the street, not at the seal beout.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That was two or three nights, I don't remember. That
was an interesting time.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
That was three nights. We stayed there three nights and
they put us up there. We got downtown because they said, look,
leave now before it gets bad and check in. Of course,
they didn't put its seal back across the street.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
It was a nice place.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
It was really actually it was really really nice. And
now I can't remember what the name of the place is,
but it's it was. It was. It was crazy. That
was a crazy storm. Everything was shut down for two
or three days before they got it open. And you're right,
it's December second.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
It's technically not even winter yet. This is the fall
season still, well.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
The first official day of winter, it's gonna happened.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I think it's December twenty first. I know it's mid
to late December.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
This is this is early all right, Thank you Mary
for checking in. And the roads do look good again.
He reminds us to please still slow down even if
you have a four wheel drive, Ladies, in your big SUVs,
even though it has four wheel drive, you will slide
on ice. But I don't see too much. I didn't
experience any ice on the way in this morning at
(13:03):
seven thirty or seven forty five this morning. So hopefully
as it got warmer throughout the day, and you're right,
once the sun comes, you know, if we can get
some sun to come through.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
These clouds, it's gonna get much above thirty two today.
I really If the sun stays behind the clouds, it's
going to stick around.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
There's a new TikTok trend. I don't know why I
talk about this, but I just thought it was goofy.
I saw it this weekend and I was just like
it was a mother, and it's the it's called the
last time I pick you up. And it's adult children
that they say that it's called the last time I
pick you up. So they pick up the child and
(13:38):
take them to bed, okay for the night? Right Like now,
you will do that for the next years, years and
years and years with Daisy. You will carry her to bed.
She'll be already passed out on your shoulder and you
will lay her in bed. So this TikTok thing. And
it was funny with this situation because the mom could
not even pick up the sun.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
How old was the kid?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
He looks like seventeen or eighteen years old, and he
could she could not pick him up?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
But I thought, who comes up with these TikTok trends?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Do they do it to where like they'll I guess
it would be really hard to do because you'd have
to plan, you'd already have to already have this video
in your your whatever your archives or you want to
call it. Do they put it up against like an
older video of you carrying your young son and you
do it, and you know, you put the seventeen year
old version of I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Some do, but that's a great idea to do that,
and I thought of my kids and they both would
have went, dude, you're not picking me up, bro, like dad,
I love you don't know, no, no, don't touch no
one last time shoul were.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Your kids when they were like, yeah, you know, touch me?
How when did that all start?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I can't remember. John was always affectionate, But there's just
just a moment. Look, when they go through puberty, that's it.
You know, the bathroom stuff and all that, because well,
because you've got to go through the when they were little,
little and they were starting to go to the y
and all that stuff, you have to you have to
have that conversation. Look, we called it bathing suit parts.
(15:03):
If anybody besides your doctor or your parents touch your
bathing suit parts, you need to come tell us as
soon as you can. If it's not a doctor or us,
then you you need to tell us if that happens,
because they need to know that, right. It's like, because
if it happens and they don't say anything, well, look
I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
You know, that could be trauma for forever.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
There's no question, there's no question. So they are you know,
conversations with that, but with with John it was. And
it's always the mom and the son, you know, when
when you know, when the change happens, and it's just
like you know, mom, you can't just burst into the
bathroom anymore, Okay, there's private time, right, It's like, you know,
And I'd ever dealt with Maggie even though I had
(15:47):
three sisters, but I did have her. I can't believe
I'm saying this on the radio. I was more comfortable
with the conversation of her transition than Jackie was, if
that makes sense, because I grew up with three sisters,
so yeah, there's no secrets here, right. So when she
had her transformation, I Matt Jackie was like, she's not
doing this, this and this, and I said, get her
(16:07):
down here. And then we had the conversation in the
hallway and you know, basically said, hey, congratulations, you're a
woman now. And it sucks and it's awesome and it sucks,
but here's what we're gonna do. You're gonna keep this
in your purse with an extra change of this and
that's no negotiable, and this is how we're gonna go forward.
Are we good with that? Yes, hug? And that was it.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Bingo bango bongo.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, yeah, you just got to come out and say it.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Make it less than a sixty second conversation.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
But raising kids is like coaching. You know, the ones
that you can be harder on and the ones that
you kind of got a coddle. And you figure that
out quick quick when you're a coach and when you're
a parent, because some of them need to be told,
you know, the hard stuff. You were terrible.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Today, Yeah, that was me. I was a bad child.
But like if I went through a big anger management, Yeah,
that that type of phase in late heights or early
high school that was not fun. I had to be
I had to be putting my place a little bit.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah. I was hard on John, there's no doubt about it.
Probably too hard on John, but yeah, turned out okay,
he's doing okay.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
That's right. And little rocket scientist stuff going.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
On up yep, Navy officer rocket scientists. Yeah he's doing okay.
So he never gets through that stuff if you don't
have a hard old man, if your old man's not
hard on it, you ain't getting through that stuff. Dude.
Plus wrestling, come on, man, I mean that's that's crazy sport.
So that helped him too, for sure. All right, So
thank you Mayor for calling in Bill Bell with the
folks with the roads and the and the brining and
(17:37):
the salting and all that. They've been out and doing
a great job and they will not stop until the
job is done. And they're doing a great job today.
All right, So short break, we will come back, Eatlan
and Eatlin. If you're selling your home, interest rates you're falling.
And here's the deal. There's not a lot of homebuilders
building homes, so you're gonna buy and sell existing homes,
(17:58):
and that you want to go with Eatling and eat
because you want to keep the equity in your home house.
The prices are not going to come down. Stop waiting
the house you buy now, you won't believe what it's
worth in five years because there are no home builders
building homes nationwide, Louova, Kentucky, you name it. They're not building.
So your home is going to be worth a ton
(18:19):
of money. Sell now, go buy another one. You won't
believe what it's worth, but keep the equity. One percent

Edland real estate brokerage for forty six years. Back after
this on news Radio eight forty wa chance and just
(18:45):
an update, Dwight is still on the tarmac at the airport.
He's supposed to fly out two hours ago, so he's
been on the plane for two hours and I have
no idea what the hold up is.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
He is literally in his worst case scenario right now.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
He says, there's an infant kicking his chair behind him,
and the stewardess is I won't even say what he
said about it. Yes, I leave that one out, but yes,
So do not text him right now and set him off,
because I said the last thing I sent to him
was like, do not get kicked off this flight. Do
(19:22):
not because his happy place is waiting for him in
the other end. But he's probably missed his connection in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
So, oh, godmare. I hate flying. I know you want
to move on, but this is this is one of
the many reasons I hate airports and flying and all
this stuff. You have zero control.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Well, when we went to I've always said if they
build a plane a day, they would fill it because
there's too many. We used to I just think that
we used to be able to fly direct more and
now everything is a connection, and some of them are ridiculous.
So you're flying to Baltimore to fly to North Carolina
(20:04):
and you're just like, what fly.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Further away from where you're going first?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
And when you find like John was in Charleston and
there's a there's a company called Breeze and the planes
are really nice. They are first class. It's one hundred
dollars direct flight. They do it twice a week. If
you want to go to Charleston. It's a great town.
Bring a lot of money, but one dollars that's it.
Direct flight. You can't beat it.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
And the plane's nice, it's.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Really super nice. I thought, boy, this is going to
be a crazy it's going to be a blank show.
This is going to be and we got on it
and it was like wow, this is it was a Breeze.
I paid. I paid eighteen dollars extra and I got
the first seat because there's nobody in front of me
and you can stretch your legs out. Okay, So I
paid I think it was eighteen or twenty bucks or
something like that to do that. But it was really
(20:52):
super nice. It was awesome. So you can't find them,
but most of them are a connection now and if
if his connection, that plane didn't wait for him, probably
or they're pissing off those people in Dallas waiting for
the Louisville flight, all piles on. It's crazy, all right.
So when I watch videos now, I have no idea
whether they're true or not, because there's so many AI
(21:14):
videos out there. I've seen We're a Lion and a
dog got into it, and I'm like, that's fake. All
the cat videos now are AI. You can't believe any
of those. Yesterday I was this morning, I watched that
video of the teenager that climbed into the lion's enclosure
in Brazil. Oh dang, And I'm on Fox News right
(21:36):
now digital and apparently it is true. A teen that
dreamed of being a lion tamer was muled to death.
I watched the video.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Oh gosh.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
He so the fence goes up and towards the enclosure,
obviously keeping the lions in. He climbed up the fence,
walked out the fence, and then jumped onto a tree.
The lion saw him right away, ran over and he
is in this tree, and the teen starts to go
(22:08):
down a little bit in the tree, and the lion
goes up and gets him and mauls him to death.
Nineteen years old, Brazil. The video is accurate. It is
someone and it's new.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Do you remember, if this is maybe almost ten years ago,
the harambe and the Cincinnati Zoo, the kid that jumped
in the gorilla enclosure that could have been.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I'm not sure that he jumped in or fell in.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
I might have been falling here, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I'm not sure. But everyone was saying, why did you
have to kill the gorilla? But everyone that worked at
that zoo was like, no, no, no, you kill a gorilla.
The baby's gonna get killed. There's a very good chance
that is a silver back gorilla. And I've been in
the zoo when a silver back has gone crazy. When
(22:57):
I worked for WHS eleven, I used to do morning
shots for them, and you'd have to get there at
four in the morning, and that is when they're most active.
They're eating and they're doing what mommy and daddy guerrillas
are doing. Yeah, and they're fighting. And this silver back
went nuts and through this female gorilla to the ceiling,
(23:19):
pulled her down and bit through her foot, and nine
other female gorillas ganged up on the silver back. So
he is fighting the other nine girl gorillas, and I said,
what is happening in a lady that was doing it?
I think it was Kyle. Kyle Shepherd said, she goes,
(23:41):
this is at the time, this is when their most active.
It's like five in the morning. And I could not
believe what I watched. I couldn't beieve I witnessed it.
So that Harambe, remember that was and then they used
Harambe as a gift, I mean forever, right, So the
zoo confirmed of the statement that individual deliberately and the
enclosure you could see it on the video, was attacked
(24:02):
by the animal and did not survive his injuries. It
was a female lion and just mauled him to death.
And you can see where he just he claws him
by the back and pulls him down from the tree
and then there's a concrete thing there to where you
can't see, but you see like arms and legs like flailing,
but the lion is eating him. At the time, I
(24:23):
don't understand. I don't care. Even at nineteen years old,
I was a dumb ass at nineteen years old. But
I wasn't that dumb. You know, the wild animals are
going to be wild.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I mean, maybe he was thinking of the Bible story
where the daniel the Lion's den. Right, he's down there
and they just kind of sit there right.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
There was there was a place in Jeffersonville in the
nineteen eighties that sold you could walk in. My friend
drove us over there, and I was like, what are
you talking about. He goes, you can buy bears, lions,
it doesn't matter wildcats. So I said, you're full of it.
(25:04):
We drove over to Jeffersonville and I'm talking right across
the river and people are listening to me right now
and go I remember that place. They had bears and
lions for sale, and people took them home to their house.
And we all know how that ends. You either get
rid of the animal or it gets rid of you.
(25:26):
It's going to turn on you at some point. It's
place called pet Paradise, it might be, did you look
it up?
Speaker 3 (25:35):
In the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Nineteen eighties sold bears and lions.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
The city of Jeffersonville to demolish former pet paradise. This
was this particular article is back in twenty eighteen. I think, Oh,
I don't think it was opened end, but the building
itself was two thousand.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Yeah, this thing is all over the place, yes, right,
but probably the same place. Yeah, probably the same place.
And this was in the late nineteen eighties. And I
couldn't believe what I was seeing. And you walk down
this little hallway like in jail, where there's jail cells
on either side, and these bears, like full bears in lions.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
It was a description of what this pet Paradise was.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, you got to get that up, but I could
not believe it. And they're gonna turn on you, for sure.
And then there was a bartender at Phoenix Till Tavern
when I used to do gigs out there, and he
had two lions and he ended up having to put
them down, I think because they turned on. They turned
on one of his kids didn't kill him, but then
he knew, Okay, this is it. I gotta get rid
of the lions. But he loved lions. He had lines
(26:35):
in his backyard.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
So I'm saying, I'm looking at a commercial right now.
This is an eighties era commercial for Pet Paradise and
It's got like these weird like parrots, frogs. I don't know.
I don't know if there's dangerous animals though in this thing.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Maybe it evolved, I don't know. But this place was crazy.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
But is Jeffersonville.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I'm not misremembering that that is, that was that could be.
You can't forget it. Yeah, I'm not saying that that
was the I'm just saying that there was a place
in Jeffersonville. You drove over right across the bridge, man
and you went in there, and it was crazy. It
was nuts. Okay, Terry Miners forty years yesterday, I mentioned
it a little bit. Obviously. I've known Terry for thirty years.
(27:15):
When I started working for WQMF, he had just left.
He had left for Whas And at the time when
we were at QMF, they didn't have like dart boards
of Terry because Uncle Rohn was there. And then you know,
and the whole thing was that he had split up
the team. So Uncle Rohn was not very happy with Terry.
But I loved what Terry was doing and I wanted
(27:38):
to pattern myself after Terry. And I didn't realize every
I thought everybody did what Terry did. And I found
out twenty years in my crew, I was like, why
am I doing all these events? I'm was like doing
I was trying to do everything MC, television, radio, everything,
and trying to patter myself after Terry. And then I
looked around and figured out no one else is doing this.
(28:00):
But it served me well. And then almost ten years
ago I ended up on the station he is. But
I worked at QMF. He worked at QMF. We worked
at WHS together. I was at seven ninety for a
while Joey Sports. But Terry will go down as the
most significant personality in radio history. That's with the Milton
Metz and a lot of folks in the mix. Terry's
(28:21):
forty years and there's no clue he will never retire,
and so I don't know what number he'll get to.
But forty of the one hundred years, we're only one
hundred and three or something like that. No, yeah, we're
one hundred and three. HS is one hundred and three
years old. So he's been there for forty of it.
(28:43):
Wrap your brain around that.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Do you know if he's the longest tenured personality on
the station. Oh, there's no question okay years, there's sixty years.
You know, if there's no there's no question. And look,
we all get fired.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
It's radio. They always say they're not radio unless you've
been fired. Well, I've never been fired. Came close last
year again not our fault, but uh it, he's never
been fired. I've never been fired. But you think what
a run. But looks they fired Milton Metz. Look, dude,
(29:19):
everybody gets fired at some point. And Milton Metz was
the Milton mets was Terry before Terry was Terry. Milt
Metz was the king of Louisville media. He did television
and radio just like Terry, but Terry just reinvented the
whole thing and and it was his. Uh he inspired
me to go to seven ninety because Terry obviously is
(29:42):
over the top personality and AM for the most part podcaster.
You know these podcasts as personality is driven. But AM
really didn't all the all the crazy talent and really
talented people were sorry that weren't in news where it
was doing rock radio and Top forty and stuff like that.
If you crossed over, you were smart like Terry and
(30:02):
I crossed over, Uh you were you did well at
am in talk and it was quite a transition for
me to go from rock to sports radio. But he,
you know, he, I was like, Terry did it? I know,
I know this is going to be a success. And
people thought I was crazy because I was on top
of the world with rock radio, and I was like,
the was like, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
And now you hate rock and sports.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I do not hate either one of them, but you
couldn't drag me to a lot of the either one
of those events. You like?
Speaker 3 (30:29):
You like football, you said that I love you don't
like college basketball anymore?
Speaker 1 (30:33):
No, I did. College basketball is too just too hard
to watch anymore. You know, there's too many stoppages, too
many timeouts, and too many.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Foul review plays in college takes forever.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
The second half of basketball games in college now take forever.
I mean the last twenty minutes or last uh last
four minutes of a game, take twenty five minutes. I'm done.
I'm like, I'm out here. What are we doing?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
All right?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
John william Onitor third, thank you so much for today,
Thank you mayor the mayor for calling in. Thank you
for the Society give at Ky Humane at their Venmo
for today, and they have a matching gift too, So
whatever you give, they'll match it. All right, folks, we'll
see you tomorrow. Be safe out there on news radio
eight forty wha. Oh. Well, but Saucertas, don't forget Salcertas
(31:14):
right now. You've gotta try, Yes, you've got to try
the Sauceritas double wrap taco at Salseritas. That's my favorite meal.
And they fill it with the KSO and the stuff
stuff and the taco stuffing and they just head to
Salsertas or going to saucertas dot com sign up for
their points system. I'm going to Salsertas right now. We'll
see you tomorrow.
All right, welcome back our number three, the Tony and
(00:02):
Dwight Show. Dwight still trying to get the cob always
on a tarmac the Muhammad Ali International Airport, sending me
text messages that I can't read on the air. We
are brought to you by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety.
Please buckle up, put the phone down, and slow down
during those construction zones that are all over Louisville. No
no reason to speed today, and we bring in the
(00:24):
big guy, Mayor Greenberg. How are you, sir.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I'm doing well, Tony. I'm really thankful for all the
folks that have been working for the last twenty four
hours to get ready for the snow event and have
been brining and salt assaulting and now plowing, and we're
going to stay at it until the roads are back
to where they need to be.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
They've done a great job. Bill Bell and that company
have done a great job directing all that. I started
the show by saying the salt trucks, workers and refs
are the same way. They've done a great job. If
you don't notice it, that's right, right right. So this
(01:02):
morning I drove in. It was a perfect situation, and
the game plan was perfect. You lay down the brine
yesterday afternoon, and I know they had fifteen trucks out
yesterday and then so that the ice can do their
job or the salt can do their job. And I
think it all came together because there was a significant snowfall.
There was there was at my house. There was five
(01:23):
or six inches on top of the of the truck
this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah, I think different different people had different measurements. The
official from the National Weather Service, I guess this was
at the airport was three point three inches, but I
know a lot of folks have told me they had
more than five. Well, I think we lost historically bad
weather for time and time again. But we didn't brine
(01:47):
as much last year, and we brought a consulting in.
We realized we needed to do more brining. And now
you're seeing the results of improved brining today with what's
going on in the road. So we'll continue to stay
at it.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Though I was at the Jay this weekend. They were
honoring four former sports athletes at the Jewish Community Center.
I didn't see uh, I didn't see any of your name.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You didn't you didn't see me? You know, as I
mentioned last time, I think you know I was really
good at warming the bench at Nasketon. That was about
all I contributed to athleticism JA, but I had a
lot of good friends.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
No, I know you did. I know it's a great place.
I will say this because I want to bring it
up because I think it's important. They haven't had the
Christmas Carol at Actors Theater the last I think six years. Uh,
and they finally got smart and brought it back. I
screwed up because I got tickets for Wednesday night, which
is tomorrow night in Louisville plays Arkansas. Uh, but I
(02:43):
am going to that. Are you gonna get get out
and see a Christmas Carol at Actors Theater this year?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Well, I'm really excited that they brought it back. Right now,
I don't have plans to, but I still might try
to sit it in. I'm also really excited about a
couple other things, and that is the Orchestra is going
to be back for Little Full Valet's performance of The Nutcracker,
and those organizations are working closely together, and so actually
Metro Council. I'm hoping he's going to support my proposal
(03:09):
to support that new initiative of their collaboration. And then
also this Saturday, after you go see Christmas Carol, after
the Cards beat Arkansas, light Up Louisville on Saturday. It's
gonna be amazing three, three to nine downtown got it's
gonna be the biggest and best yet. We've got this
projection light show of that turns Metro Hall. I can't
(03:31):
even explain it, just trust me, it's awesome. We've got
a light parade that starts at six o'clock. They're shopping,
there's food, there's beverages. I don't know if does sound
like dright side of town, so he won't be there,
but there are there's good, good, warm beverages for both
the kids and adults that he would enjoy. I know,
all right, all time.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
So okay, So if I plan this out, so what
time can I get down there? Where am I going for?
Light Up Louisville? Okay?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
So Light Up Louisville is three to nine and the
parade starts at six, followed by the projection show on
Metro Hall. It's right at Metro Hall and Jefferson Square Park,
right there in the heart of downtown. But all the
front of Metro Hall. We're going to be closing down
the roads and Jefferson Square Park so people can get
pictures with mister and Missus Claus. There's lots of things
(04:19):
for kids to do, lots of things to shop and eat.
It's all free, it's family friendly and if you want
to do something earlier in the morning. I'm literally just
getting back to Metro Hall from the Portland Library. We
just open the new renovated Portland Library and they're having
a Family Fun Day from ten to two on Saturday.
So there's a lot of stuff to do in addition
to sports and the wonderful Christmas shows that are going on.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And that is great for Portland because again, I don't
think people realize how many people use libraries. I know
it's a talking point for people in shows to say,
why don't we need libraries? The line the library in
Saint Matthew's is packed all the time. It is a
great resource, folks.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You'll like this stat then, Tony, nearly two million people
used our libraries in Louisville last year.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
You don't have to tell me. I'm tell these people
all the time. I'm like, no, libraries are packed all
the time. And there's computers there. There's book that you
can again, if you can't afford twenty eight dollars for
a new book, you go and then check it out
for God's sake.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, they've got a lot of new stuff there. I
saw lots of books from Taylor Swift to Kentucky history
where all at the new Portland Library, they have a
whole maker studio where you can you know, do lots
of creations as a podcasting studio of people. Because that
equipment is expensive, as you know, you can do you
right here at the low of a library for free.
So there's there's lots of different things beyond books also
(05:45):
and programming computers at this new Portland Library, but all
the other ones.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's great news. And I'm I got to say, I'm
disappointed in you, mister Greenberg.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
What is that for?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Please tell me, not that you need it today, but
you sold your convertible.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I did you know in this job I just hadn't
been enjoying. For those that don't know, I had a
nineteen seventy four Cadillac El Dorado convertible. It was beautiful
flight red leather interior. It had an eight track. I
a two eight tracks, one with a c DC back
in black. The other one was Elvis, but I just
wasn't using it anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
It was did Rachel. If Rachel have anything to do
with this, you're selling that.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
She never was the biggest fan of the convertible. But
you know it was a great fifteen years. I had
it while my boys were here and they grew up,
and you know, if I knew how to fix it,
maybe I would have kept it. But he recently bumped
into the person who bought it, and it's it's in
wonderful new hands. He loves it, and it was a
(06:46):
great run while it last.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I can, I can. I can tell in the tone
of your voice, because I think I know you that
well now that that you're your you miss it. I
can tell in the tone of your voice telling that story.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I definitely do. There was actually a day here's a
fun and here I'll give you one quick front Cadillac
convertible story. It was a day with even worse weather
than today, and my son, who was still in high
school at the time, saw that on Jack Carlow had
posted on Instagram. Does anyone have a convertible in Louisville
For tomorrow he's shooting a video and it turned out
(07:19):
he shot the video Route sixty six right here in Louisville,
and I drove that that convertible in snow down to
Joe's Crabshack. Go check out Jack Carlow's Route sixty six video.
You'll see that car in the video. It was not
much warmer than today when when they did it.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
That. I'm telling you, I bet you buy that darn
thing back like John Schnader did with his car. All right,
So last thing I want to say and then tell
us what they're going to do tonight. They're gonna I guess,
Brian and all that, right, They're gonna.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Get keep going as long as until the roads get
to be you know, back to dry and everything. So
we'll keep flowing and then hopefully, you know, by later
today you'll see even more improvement than you see right now.
I've driven a good part of the city right now,
and what I'm seeing on all of the snow route
routes were in good shape. Now. Of course there are
secondary roads that we don't plow, but we want to
make sure everyone has the ability to get everywhere safely.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Last thing, Mayor I led the show on Monday with
the two stories from l MPD. One was the the
rescuing of the young child in the house that was burning.
It looked like a TV show, UH, with the with
the with the with the camera shot from the from
the police officer with the flashlight and running through a
burning building to save an infant. And then the second
(08:36):
is how dangerous that the person that drove and we
will pray for that person's family and I believe they
found him today. But the divers for l MPD to
have to work in that sort of environment, freezing cold
and the and the current, and we talked about it
yesterday and how dangerous that is, UH speak on LMPD
and those two stories are are really crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Now they are. There's that type of heroism you see
every day at LMPD. Doesn't always make the news like
those two events that you described do, but that's what
they're doing every day. And we are so fortunate to
have the leadership of Chief Humphrey and his whole team
that's showing up to work every day in cold weather
like today and burning hot. We're so thankful to have
(09:21):
Chief O'Neil and the whole fire department that when we've
got a plane crash like we did for ups, they
run towards the danger, helping others. I'm going to continue
to support all of our first responders. I'm thrilled with
the new recruits that we're getting into the class. We're
going to continue to add people, particularly to LMPD. We
need more officers out there so they're preventing crime in
every neighborhood in the community. I know we've talked about
(09:43):
it before. What's happening in some neighborhoods right now, not
with necessarily shootings, but with property crime. Having more officers
than those neighborhoods is going to help with that. That's
why we're going to continue to support them and continue
to recruit more people into the LMPD family.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Amen, and I think you brought up a good point
that those police officers didn't have have to run into
that building, but they did what they did. What they did,
all right, Mayor, thank you, and thank Bill Bell and
everybody with with with the trucks. She all doing a
fantastic job. The roads look good, keep up the good work.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Thanks. I do, even if they're looking good, I do
want to encourage everyone to be safe. And take their
time today.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You got it, thanks may By. Yeah, John, could you
not tell in his tone when he was describing how
he sold the car, No, I love that.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
You asked, did your wife have anything to do with
the the rid of his car? Because that's how it
is like. If the wife sees something that their husband
has that just seems like an eye sore to them,
whatever it might be, Yes, they're going to find a
way one one way or another sometime down the road.
It might be a few years, but they're going to
plan a reason to get rid of whatever that thing
(10:49):
might be. In for his case, it was that car.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Absolutely motorcycles and cars, classic cars. The wife will start
to drop the little hints or wisest thing always in
my way. I don't care how large your garage it.
She was probably mentioning the damn thing was in her way. Okay,
I can't get in the garage because you got your
boat in there, all right? No, no, no, keep it. No,
you love it, you love it, so keep it. No,
(11:11):
you love it. But she was like he was pretty
honest with it too. Now, she was not a big
fan of the car. We love Rachel though, and they
do a great job with the roads and they have
this time, so we'll continue with those conversations because it's
going to be a long I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
It's December second. We I don't know if this is
true or not, but it's definitely. I feel like it's
been close to ten years since we've had a snow
like this before Christmas.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
When was the one where we all stayed at the hotel?
That was in January? It was in January. Okay, I
got you because we all stayed it was so bad.
That was pretty bad. That was eight inches. That was
pretty bad because we all stayed at the hotel across
the street, not at the seal beout.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That was two or three nights, I don't remember. That
was an interesting time.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
That was three nights. We stayed there three nights and
they put us up there. We got downtown because they said, look,
leave now before it gets bad and check in. Of course,
they didn't put its seal back across the street.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
It was a nice place.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
It was really actually it was really really nice. And
now I can't remember what the name of the place is,
but it's it was. It was. It was crazy. That
was a crazy storm. Everything was shut down for two
or three days before they got it open. And you're right,
it's December second.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
It's technically not even winter yet. This is the fall
season still, well.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
The first official day of winter, it's gonna happened.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I think it's December twenty first. I know it's mid
to late December.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
This is this is early all right, Thank you Mary
for checking in. And the roads do look good again.
He reminds us to please still slow down even if
you have a four wheel drive, Ladies, in your big SUVs,
even though it has four wheel drive, you will slide
on ice. But I don't see too much. I didn't
experience any ice on the way in this morning at
(13:03):
seven thirty or seven forty five this morning. So hopefully
as it got warmer throughout the day, and you're right,
once the sun comes, you know, if we can get
some sun to come through.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
These clouds, it's gonna get much above thirty two today.
I really If the sun stays behind the clouds, it's
going to stick around.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
There's a new TikTok trend. I don't know why I
talk about this, but I just thought it was goofy.
I saw it this weekend and I was just like
it was a mother, and it's the it's called the
last time I pick you up. And it's adult children
that they say that it's called the last time I
pick you up. So they pick up the child and
(13:38):
take them to bed, okay for the night? Right Like now,
you will do that for the next years, years and
years and years with Daisy. You will carry her to bed.
She'll be already passed out on your shoulder and you
will lay her in bed. So this TikTok thing. And
it was funny with this situation because the mom could
not even pick up the sun.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
How old was the kid?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
He looks like seventeen or eighteen years old, and he
could she could not pick him up?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
But I thought, who comes up with these TikTok trends?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Do they do it to where like they'll I guess
it would be really hard to do because you'd have
to plan, you'd already have to already have this video
in your your whatever your archives or you want to
call it. Do they put it up against like an
older video of you carrying your young son and you
do it, and you know, you put the seventeen year
old version of I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Some do, but that's a great idea to do that,
and I thought of my kids and they both would
have went, dude, you're not picking me up, bro, like dad,
I love you don't know, no, no, don't touch no
one last time shoul were.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Your kids when they were like, yeah, you know, touch me?
How when did that all start?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I can't remember. John was always affectionate, But there's just
just a moment. Look, when they go through puberty, that's it.
You know, the bathroom stuff and all that, because well,
because you've got to go through the when they were little,
little and they were starting to go to the y
and all that stuff, you have to you have to
have that conversation. Look, we called it bathing suit parts.
(15:03):
If anybody besides your doctor or your parents touch your
bathing suit parts, you need to come tell us as
soon as you can. If it's not a doctor or us,
then you you need to tell us if that happens,
because they need to know that, right. It's like, because
if it happens and they don't say anything, well, look
I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
You know, that could be trauma for forever.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
There's no question, there's no question. So they are you know,
conversations with that, but with with John it was. And
it's always the mom and the son, you know, when
when you know, when the change happens, and it's just
like you know, mom, you can't just burst into the
bathroom anymore, Okay, there's private time, right, It's like, you know,
And I'd ever dealt with Maggie even though I had
(15:47):
three sisters, but I did have her. I can't believe
I'm saying this on the radio. I was more comfortable
with the conversation of her transition than Jackie was, if
that makes sense, because I grew up with three sisters,
so yeah, there's no secrets here, right. So when she
had her transformation, I Matt Jackie was like, she's not
doing this, this and this, and I said, get her
(16:07):
down here. And then we had the conversation in the
hallway and you know, basically said, hey, congratulations, you're a
woman now. And it sucks and it's awesome and it sucks,
but here's what we're gonna do. You're gonna keep this
in your purse with an extra change of this and
that's no negotiable, and this is how we're gonna go forward.
Are we good with that? Yes, hug? And that was it.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Bingo bango bongo.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, yeah, you just got to come out and say it.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Make it less than a sixty second conversation.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
But raising kids is like coaching. You know, the ones
that you can be harder on and the ones that
you kind of got a coddle. And you figure that
out quick quick when you're a coach and when you're
a parent, because some of them need to be told,
you know, the hard stuff. You were terrible.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Today, Yeah, that was me. I was a bad child.
But like if I went through a big anger management, Yeah,
that that type of phase in late heights or early
high school that was not fun. I had to be
I had to be putting my place a little bit.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah. I was hard on John, there's no doubt about it.
Probably too hard on John, but yeah, turned out okay,
he's doing okay.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
That's right. And little rocket scientist stuff going.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
On up yep, Navy officer rocket scientists. Yeah he's doing okay.
So he never gets through that stuff if you don't
have a hard old man, if your old man's not
hard on it, you ain't getting through that stuff. Dude.
Plus wrestling, come on, man, I mean that's that's crazy sport.
So that helped him too, for sure. All right, So
thank you Mayor for calling in Bill Bell with the
folks with the roads and the and the brining and
(17:37):
the salting and all that. They've been out and doing
a great job and they will not stop until the
job is done. And they're doing a great job today.
All right, So short break, we will come back, Eatlan
and Eatlin. If you're selling your home, interest rates you're falling.
And here's the deal. There's not a lot of homebuilders
building homes, so you're gonna buy and sell existing homes,
(17:58):
and that you want to go with Eatling and eat
because you want to keep the equity in your home house.
The prices are not going to come down. Stop waiting
the house you buy now, you won't believe what it's
worth in five years because there are no home builders
building homes nationwide, Louova, Kentucky, you name it. They're not building.
So your home is going to be worth a ton
(18:19):
of money. Sell now, go buy another one. You won't
believe what it's worth, but keep the equity. One percent

this on news Radio eight forty wa chance and just
(18:45):
an update, Dwight is still on the tarmac at the airport.
He's supposed to fly out two hours ago, so he's
been on the plane for two hours and I have
no idea what the hold up is.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
He is literally in his worst case scenario right now.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
He says, there's an infant kicking his chair behind him,
and the stewardess is I won't even say what he
said about it. Yes, I leave that one out, but yes,
So do not text him right now and set him off,
because I said the last thing I sent to him
was like, do not get kicked off this flight. Do
(19:22):
not because his happy place is waiting for him in
the other end. But he's probably missed his connection in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
So, oh, godmare. I hate flying. I know you want
to move on, but this is this is one of
the many reasons I hate airports and flying and all
this stuff. You have zero control.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Well, when we went to I've always said if they
build a plane a day, they would fill it because
there's too many. We used to I just think that
we used to be able to fly direct more and
now everything is a connection, and some of them are ridiculous.
So you're flying to Baltimore to fly to North Carolina
(20:04):
and you're just like, what fly.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Further away from where you're going first?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
And when you find like John was in Charleston and
there's a there's a company called Breeze and the planes
are really nice. They are first class. It's one hundred
dollars direct flight. They do it twice a week. If
you want to go to Charleston. It's a great town.
Bring a lot of money, but one dollars that's it.
Direct flight. You can't beat it.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
And the plane's nice, it's.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Really super nice. I thought, boy, this is going to
be a crazy it's going to be a blank show.
This is going to be and we got on it
and it was like wow, this is it was a Breeze.
I paid. I paid eighteen dollars extra and I got
the first seat because there's nobody in front of me
and you can stretch your legs out. Okay, So I
paid I think it was eighteen or twenty bucks or
something like that to do that. But it was really
(20:52):
super nice. It was awesome. So you can't find them,
but most of them are a connection now and if
if his connection, that plane didn't wait for him, probably
or they're pissing off those people in Dallas waiting for
the Louisville flight, all piles on. It's crazy, all right.
So when I watch videos now, I have no idea
whether they're true or not, because there's so many AI
(21:14):
videos out there. I've seen We're a Lion and a
dog got into it, and I'm like, that's fake. All
the cat videos now are AI. You can't believe any
of those. Yesterday I was this morning, I watched that
video of the teenager that climbed into the lion's enclosure
in Brazil. Oh dang, And I'm on Fox News right
(21:36):
now digital and apparently it is true. A teen that
dreamed of being a lion tamer was muled to death.
I watched the video.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Oh gosh.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
He so the fence goes up and towards the enclosure,
obviously keeping the lions in. He climbed up the fence,
walked out the fence, and then jumped onto a tree.
The lion saw him right away, ran over and he
is in this tree, and the teen starts to go
(22:08):
down a little bit in the tree, and the lion
goes up and gets him and mauls him to death.
Nineteen years old, Brazil. The video is accurate. It is
someone and it's new.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Do you remember, if this is maybe almost ten years ago,
the harambe and the Cincinnati Zoo, the kid that jumped
in the gorilla enclosure that could have been.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I'm not sure that he jumped in or fell in.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
I might have been falling here, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I'm not sure. But everyone was saying, why did you
have to kill the gorilla? But everyone that worked at
that zoo was like, no, no, no, you kill a gorilla.
The baby's gonna get killed. There's a very good chance
that is a silver back gorilla. And I've been in
the zoo when a silver back has gone crazy. When
(22:57):
I worked for WHS eleven, I used to do morning
shots for them, and you'd have to get there at
four in the morning, and that is when they're most active.
They're eating and they're doing what mommy and daddy guerrillas
are doing. Yeah, and they're fighting. And this silver back
went nuts and through this female gorilla to the ceiling,
(23:19):
pulled her down and bit through her foot, and nine
other female gorillas ganged up on the silver back. So
he is fighting the other nine girl gorillas, and I said,
what is happening in a lady that was doing it?
I think it was Kyle. Kyle Shepherd said, she goes,
(23:41):
this is at the time, this is when their most active.
It's like five in the morning. And I could not
believe what I watched. I couldn't beieve I witnessed it.
So that Harambe, remember that was and then they used
Harambe as a gift, I mean forever, right, So the
zoo confirmed of the statement that individual deliberately and the
enclosure you could see it on the video, was attacked
(24:02):
by the animal and did not survive his injuries. It
was a female lion and just mauled him to death.
And you can see where he just he claws him
by the back and pulls him down from the tree
and then there's a concrete thing there to where you
can't see, but you see like arms and legs like flailing,
but the lion is eating him. At the time, I
(24:23):
don't understand. I don't care. Even at nineteen years old,
I was a dumb ass at nineteen years old. But
I wasn't that dumb. You know, the wild animals are
going to be wild.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I mean, maybe he was thinking of the Bible story
where the daniel the Lion's den. Right, he's down there
and they just kind of sit there right.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
There was there was a place in Jeffersonville in the
nineteen eighties that sold you could walk in. My friend
drove us over there, and I was like, what are
you talking about. He goes, you can buy bears, lions,
it doesn't matter wildcats. So I said, you're full of it.
(25:04):
We drove over to Jeffersonville and I'm talking right across
the river and people are listening to me right now
and go I remember that place. They had bears and
lions for sale, and people took them home to their house.
And we all know how that ends. You either get
rid of the animal or it gets rid of you.
(25:26):
It's going to turn on you at some point. It's
place called pet Paradise, it might be, did you look
it up?
Speaker 3 (25:35):
In the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Nineteen eighties sold bears and lions.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
The city of Jeffersonville to demolish former pet paradise. This
was this particular article is back in twenty eighteen. I think, Oh,
I don't think it was opened end, but the building
itself was two thousand.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Yeah, this thing is all over the place, yes, right,
but probably the same place. Yeah, probably the same place.
And this was in the late nineteen eighties. And I
couldn't believe what I was seeing. And you walk down
this little hallway like in jail, where there's jail cells
on either side, and these bears, like full bears in lions.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
It was a description of what this pet Paradise was.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, you got to get that up, but I could
not believe it. And they're gonna turn on you, for sure.
And then there was a bartender at Phoenix Till Tavern
when I used to do gigs out there, and he
had two lions and he ended up having to put
them down, I think because they turned on. They turned
on one of his kids didn't kill him, but then
he knew, Okay, this is it. I gotta get rid
of the lions. But he loved lions. He had lines
(26:35):
in his backyard.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
So I'm saying, I'm looking at a commercial right now.
This is an eighties era commercial for Pet Paradise and
It's got like these weird like parrots, frogs. I don't know.
I don't know if there's dangerous animals though in this thing.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Maybe it evolved, I don't know. But this place was crazy.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
But is Jeffersonville.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I'm not misremembering that that is, that was that could be.
You can't forget it. Yeah, I'm not saying that that
was the I'm just saying that there was a place
in Jeffersonville. You drove over right across the bridge, man
and you went in there, and it was crazy. It
was nuts. Okay, Terry Miners forty years yesterday, I mentioned
it a little bit. Obviously. I've known Terry for thirty years.
(27:15):
When I started working for WQMF, he had just left.
He had left for Whas And at the time when
we were at QMF, they didn't have like dart boards
of Terry because Uncle Rohn was there. And then you know,
and the whole thing was that he had split up
the team. So Uncle Rohn was not very happy with Terry.
But I loved what Terry was doing and I wanted
(27:38):
to pattern myself after Terry. And I didn't realize every
I thought everybody did what Terry did. And I found
out twenty years in my crew, I was like, why
am I doing all these events? I'm was like doing
I was trying to do everything MC, television, radio, everything,
and trying to patter myself after Terry. And then I
looked around and figured out no one else is doing this.
(28:00):
But it served me well. And then almost ten years
ago I ended up on the station he is. But
I worked at QMF. He worked at QMF. We worked
at WHS together. I was at seven ninety for a
while Joey Sports. But Terry will go down as the
most significant personality in radio history. That's with the Milton
Metz and a lot of folks in the mix. Terry's
(28:21):
forty years and there's no clue he will never retire,
and so I don't know what number he'll get to.
But forty of the one hundred years, we're only one
hundred and three or something like that. No, yeah, we're
one hundred and three. HS is one hundred and three
years old. So he's been there for forty of it.
(28:43):
Wrap your brain around that.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Do you know if he's the longest tenured personality on
the station. Oh, there's no question okay years, there's sixty years.
You know, if there's no there's no question. And look,
we all get fired.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
It's radio. They always say they're not radio unless you've
been fired. Well, I've never been fired. Came close last
year again not our fault, but uh it, he's never
been fired. I've never been fired. But you think what
a run. But looks they fired Milton Metz. Look, dude,
(29:19):
everybody gets fired at some point. And Milton Metz was
the Milton mets was Terry before Terry was Terry. Milt
Metz was the king of Louisville media. He did television
and radio just like Terry, but Terry just reinvented the
whole thing and and it was his. Uh he inspired
me to go to seven ninety because Terry obviously is
(29:42):
over the top personality and AM for the most part podcaster.
You know these podcasts as personality is driven. But AM
really didn't all the all the crazy talent and really
talented people were sorry that weren't in news where it
was doing rock radio and Top forty and stuff like that.
If you crossed over, you were smart like Terry and
(30:02):
I crossed over, Uh you were you did well at
am in talk and it was quite a transition for
me to go from rock to sports radio. But he,
you know, he, I was like, Terry did it? I know,
I know this is going to be a success. And
people thought I was crazy because I was on top
of the world with rock radio, and I was like,
the was like, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
And now you hate rock and sports.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I do not hate either one of them, but you
couldn't drag me to a lot of the either one
of those events. You like?
Speaker 3 (30:29):
You like football, you said that I love you don't
like college basketball anymore?
Speaker 1 (30:33):
No, I did. College basketball is too just too hard
to watch anymore. You know, there's too many stoppages, too
many timeouts, and too many.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Foul review plays in college takes forever.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
The second half of basketball games in college now take forever.
I mean the last twenty minutes or last uh last
four minutes of a game, take twenty five minutes. I'm done.
I'm like, I'm out here. What are we doing?
