12.3: Will Stein to Be Introduced This Afternoon, Tells for Lying, Music Piracy, and the Dirtiest Cities in the World

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, welcome back out number three. We are brought

(00:02):
to you by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety. Dwight
is on vacation. I am Tony Venetti with John Alden
producing today. Later this afternoon at four pm, they will
enter the University of Kentucky Loudcats will introduce Will Stein
as the new head football coach. And again it's been
the big story for the last couple of days, besides
the basketball team struggling for the Cats. And you hear

(00:24):
both the Cats, Cats football and basketball where else but
right here on news radio eight forty WHS. But Terry
Miners will be on later this afternoon. He will go
to that live in Lexington. So I don't know his salary.
I guess we'll get details today when they hand out.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
How much do you think he was making an organ.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
As no csaw million bucks?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Probably almost two million, really one point seventy five I
think I saw close ball.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Great. That is crazy.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
That is as a coordinator. As a coordinator, that Nike
money up there, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
I guess yes, the head job money is so good.
But seriously, without without the pressure of being a head coach,
you can make two million bucks as a coordinator and
all you've got to do is the offense, barely do
any press conferences.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I'm nurious where his coordinator salary stacked up with every
other coordinator.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
I think at the Organs, the Oregons, Ohio States and
all that.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Are pretty similar.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Its close to too, and I'm going to assume he
comes in at five.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
That's pretty standard nowadays. I feel right Stoops was making
what nine million AR?

Speaker 1 (01:32):
That was insane. That number didn't match.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
He won ten games for one year and you paid
him nine But Dwight knows nothing about sports ball, and
he was like, well that's it, and he was right.
Paid him nine million, single dude in Lexington. The motivation
is gone. So you'll listen to that a little bit
later right here on news radio eight forty whas everyone has.

(01:57):
Most people have a tell when they're lying. You do
a pretty good job during reeling in the years not
to show your hand because you I know you'll dance
and smile when we're right on the number, but I
do it that the song's fun, right, No, that's exactly right.
So you're not even doing that on purpose. Yeah, but

(02:17):
a former and we used to have a boss, Charlie Steele,
and he used to have a tell. He'd just do
the sy guy oh, and he would rub his hand
over the top of his head and go, oh, I
don't know, and then Dwight and we'll look at each
other and go, oh my god. That the total tell.
But a former Secret Service agent reveals a tell for liars. Okay,

(02:44):
when you're telling the truth, O'Neill says that when this
guy's name is Desmond O'Neill, former Secret Service guy, I said.
O'Neill says that when someone is recalling their day, they
might correct themselves if they misrem something. Are they telling
the truth or not? John, I think that's telling the

(03:05):
truth exactly. He says. People don't remember everything in order. Yeah,
and if they're telling the truth, they can go wait, no,
that no, we went to this place first, because that
is reality. And the person that has everything to the
last detail and it's and it's it sounds too perfect,
that's the that's the guy. That's a person that's lying

(03:28):
down to the last detail. That's the person that's lying.
When people correct their story and go, wait a minute,
that's not true. We went to so and so or no,
Jim wasn't there. He didn't join us until so and
so that's the person telling the truth. That's a pretty
good deal. That's a pretty good So to all you
wives out there, you know husband's lying to you about you.

(03:49):
You know you went to the game, how much you drank?

Speaker 2 (03:52):
You know what my telle is. This is just an
uncomfortable tell I twist my my my wedding ring is
what I'll do. Oh, I'll just sit there and play
with it.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Is that guilt?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Are you kind of are you religious at all?

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah? So I was Catholic for a while, but now
I'm just Protestant Christian?

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Okay, that's cool. Yeah. So is that religious guilt you
think or I would say there's some aspect of that. Yeah, yeah,
I think so too. People want to tell the truth.
That's why a lot of times it'll slip out and
you'll go, oh wow. They call that the Freudian slip. Yeah,
you know, because they want to tell the truth. Well,

(04:33):
they do that all the time. The police and detectives
will tell you that some of these people want to
get caught. They leave clues because internally, subconsciously they want
to be caught. They would tell you the face that
they don't want to do. Not, of course, I don't
want to go to prison. But a lot of these
You watch these serial killer stories and a lot of
times they will eventually lead a trail to them, and

(04:57):
not by accident, but subconsciously. I guess by accident if
it's subconscious, uh, not by design, but subconscious we'll leave
a trail to them. I have been sort of addicted
to those shows.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Also.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
I'll watch the Wayne Gacy, you know the story, or
a lot of them. Once you start, once you again
the algorithm, once you watch one on Netflix, or the
Max or Peacock that's part of your so then they'll
show you more of those so you can. So they're
just they're all over the place. I just watched one about.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
The King Tut one different.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Well, the King Tut was where I couldn't sleep and
I watched a three hour, three hour documentary on King
Tut And you want to tee you want me to
tie it into Dalton Abbey.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Sure, yeah, don't tell Nebby.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
So King Tut the guy that discovered King Tut. He
was bankrolled by a rich British guy. Guess where the
rich British guy lived in the Dalton Abbey castle. He
was He wasn't a duke, but he was the lord
of whatever, the lord of that place, whatever it's called.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
It all makes sense, right. I was like, no, and.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Here's how it's how bad I am. When they showed
the castle and before they said this is where Dalton
Abbey is filmed, I go, hey, that's the dalt Nabbey Castle.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yes, yes, When when does that the finale for Doubt?

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Oh? No, it's out. We can watch it. Jackie said it.
Last night we watched Black Rabbit and I don't know
if you've seen that series. It is so intense the
last four episodes. We watched one last two nights ago
and I said, I can't watch the last two. I'm
a mess right now because they play that that music

(06:47):
and the you know that violin when they go eh
and it's just intense, the music and the acting. Oh
my lord. Black Rabbit watch it is about a restaurant
with two brothers in New York City. It's intense, man.
It is intense because you like them, then you hate them,
then you like them again, then you hate them. It's

(07:09):
a good series. Black Rabbit. Watch it. Supreme Court here's
case about music piracy. This has been difficult for thirty
years trying to figure this stuff out. The Supreme Court
heard a case over music piracy that could have an
impact on all Internet users. This is big. The Court
is weighing on how much liability Internet services providers have

(07:33):
for privacy or I'm sorry, piracy carried out. I don't
know why they used that word. Piracy carried out over
right over their networks. Cox Communication, the largest private broadband
company in the country, argues that if the standard is
too strict, internet access could be cut off for many

(07:54):
Americans records. They would have no choice to disconnect the homes, hospitals, hotels,
and more simply because of an accusation against one user
at a specific IP address. So one user could screw
it up for everybody. The justices seemed to grapple with
the extremes of any ruling on this. They can't figure

(08:17):
this out.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
I mean this affected us with being able to keep
music on the podcast version.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Of every show and people it's been over.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
The reason reeling of the years can't be on any
of the shows.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
That's right, or any or your music that's coming in.
We don't hear it.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Because on our podcasts, which I think we are the
most downloaded podcast on this station, you don't hear the
music ever because they said, look, we can't there's no
way to figure out how we pay for that to
be downloaded again. So if you play a song coming
in and let's say fifteen thousand times down, our podcast

(08:54):
is downloaded. If music for people that don't understand that,
wamz wuf. Every time they play a song, they have
to pay the two there's two services, is it askcab
and what a name? And somebody else. But when I
first started in radio, we literally kept a log. You

(09:14):
would have to write it down or wow yeah, and
then because you have to keep those four computers and
keep a record of it. So if you played, you know,
whatever led Zeppelin song ten times that day, you would
I'm paying five cents whatever it is. But they pay,
the radio stations pay to play that music. They don't
get it for free. Okay, So that's why we can't

(09:37):
have it on the podcast. It sucks, yes, and I'm
sure that all the rest of the shows around the
country follow the rules like we do. Wink wink, yeah yeah,
Puerto Rican sign language. Look, we cannot just have a
halftime show on the Super Bowl. We have to make

(09:59):
something controversial. Puerto Rican sign language to be used during
the Super Bowl pregame and halftime show. Bad Bunny is upcoming. He,
of course, is the halftime show for Super Bowl sixty.
He will include Puerto Rican sign language for the first time.
This news will breakout and people will start complaining about
it online. It's part of a multi lingual signing program

(10:22):
for entertainment at the Big Game, which will include American
sign language interpreters for the national anthem America the Beautiful
and lift every voice and sing. I think that's the
Is that the African American national anthem or something. The
signing will be led by the interpreter. They've named him here,

(10:42):
can't pronounce it. The game is set for off course,
they are at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California. It's
February eighth. But this Bad Bunny, look, I don't care
tell you the truth as long as you don't have
an agenda, and the agenda clearly has been. It's not

(11:03):
doctor dre is it Doctor dre jay Z. Jay Z
jay Z was put in charge five years ago and
he came out he didn't hide it. He said there
will be no rock and there will be no country
artist for the halftime show. As long as I'm picking
the artist. Of course, the NFL has to okay it.
But I think that's insane, Like, why would you, why

(11:25):
would you have an agenda? It's just like Disney did
with Star Wars. The producer of that, the female I
can't remember that Kennedy is her last name, she came
out and said, my job doing those last three movies
was to irritate middle aged white men, such.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
As their primary demographic.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
If that's part of the story, I don't care. But
if you go into creating it with an agenda like that,
I'm here to irritate a certain segment of society, I
think you're crazy. I think the ego for you is crazy.
The ego of doctor Dre to say jay Z jay
z damn it the same era, right, The ego of

(12:09):
him to say there's gonna be no country music or
rock artist, I think that's insane.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
I mean, the biggest some of the biggest names in
music are country artists right now. Morgan Wallace and I
know he did some things, he said some things he
shouldn't have said several years back, but I mean he
he sells out stadiums. Luke Combs getting the point where
he's selling out stadiums.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
No, it's big, it's big. Country music is pop music now,
so it's it's huge. And again last year with what
Kendrick Lamar, I think so yeah yeah, and that was
the biggie to where raps doesn't translate. Some of these
rap artists don't translate to stage work, if that makes sense.

(12:51):
Like listening to it in your car, it's it's whatever
to you, inspirational, you love it, it's the best music you've
ever heard, But if you go see it in a concert,
it's not exciting and you can barely you know, if
you barely understand. So a lot of people are like,
I'd never I didn't understand one word of last year's
Super Bowl halftime show, And of course it divided the

(13:11):
country again because people like me that said I don't
listen to this music and I don't even understand what
he's saying. Then we were the villain and people were like, see,
you're the old white guy complaining again, and it's like, no,
I don't like the artists at the halftime show. I'm
sorry that that puts me in a demographic and.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
This year's is going to be even if you're indifferent
about it, like me, like, yeah, I had Bunny, Bad
Bunny doesn't have, to my knowledge, any music with English lyrics.
So I'm going to be sitting there kind of like
you said with Kendrick Lamar, and I'm gonna be like, well,
I have no clue what he's saying. I hope it
sounds fun. Hopefully it's maybe you can dance a little
bit too in your seat, but other than that, I'm

(13:54):
not gonna know what he's singing.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Well, having it and look they're doing all this, he's
doing this on purpose? Is he has an agenda? Yeah,
the trans issue is bigger than it's ever been by
a million percent right now. And the guy wears dresses correct,
so he's gonna wear most likely Bad Bunny's going to
wear a dress correct for the halftime show. I assume.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
I yes, I didn't even know that he was so Immigration.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
And trans are the two top there are two of
the top issues that decided the last election for president,
and he's choosing the same guy for both to kind
of stick it to a certain segment of Americans. That
shouldn't be what you do for the halftime show of
the biggest sporting event in the country.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
And here's the thing too, people will hate watch this
halftime show just to have their take about how horrible
it might have been in their opinion, and because of that,
ratings will still be so sky high even if it's
not something people will enjoy that there won't be any
data to show that they shouldn't do something like that.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
I don't really pay attention to the halftime show. I
gotta be honest with you. It's been a long time
since I paid attention in a halftime show. I'm either
getting food or another beer, or talking to friends or
whatever I'm doing. But I rarely or to tell you
the truth. I've gotten so old. If I go to
the super Bowl party at halftime, I leave. I leave
to go home to go to bed. Unless it's an

(15:20):
incredible game.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
You are. Last year's was horrible. It was the Eagles
blowout with the chess probably we did last year.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah, yeah, the Eagles just smashed.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Swift. Say they had it coming though they'd won a
few in a row at that point.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah, it was. It was I think the you know
the watershed moment for the Chiefs, like they're gonna have
to figure it out. Kelsey's got it's got to be
his last year.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
He's getting married. He's to finish football this season, get married,
and go have a family.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
He's a Hall of Famer if he retires after this
year five years later and his brother will go in.
I wonder if they'll wait and put both brothers in.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
The same year.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, I could see that, right, So two years or
something like that, we'll wait on the offensive line brother
and have him go in together. But you marry in
a billionaire, you're a guaranteed first ballot most likely Hall
of Famer than my opinion, So just go on. Why
do you want to risk getting hurt again? I've always

(16:19):
said in football it's weird because camaraderie is everything, the
huddle is everything, and they don't miss necessarily the hard
parts of the game. They miss the guys, They missed
the fellas Aaron Rodgers admitted to it. He goes, I
don't want to give it up because I miss He
said that this year of the Pittsburgh Steelers a couple
of games ago, said I missed, I'm going to miss

(16:41):
the players. I'm going to miss being in the fight
with other guys on the field. So he doesn't care
who he plays for, but he just misses the camaraderie.
In America these days, we need more of that.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Tell you the truth, that's crazy somebody like Aaron Rodgers
in his early forties, like that's all he knows.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
He does it. It's not like he has a lot.
He's a strange from his family, he's not married, can't
keep a girlfriend more than a year or so. And
I think he's worse because he doesn't have anything. Again,
I'm sure he does, but it seems darkness retreats right.
I'm from the outside looking in. He doesn't have a
lot going on that you would count as solid ground, wife, kids, mom, dad, whatever.

(17:30):
It's it's just football. So I think he's going to
keep trying to play. I think this year might be it, though.
I mean he was. He was better than what people
thought I thought he was going to do, because there
was games he was old Aaron, and there was games
where it definitely showed his age. And the defense at
Steelers are just not good enough. I mean they're good,
but they're not good enough to carry the offense. To

(17:51):
some of these victories. Last week was awful.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, he looked like a broken man against the Bills
when that the sack at the second half to start
the second half and he cut his nose, and they
were just I just I said, that's it, man, I
just look at him.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
What's he gonna do? All right, man, we're gonna take
a short break. I do want to talk about vision first.
Vision firstiyecare dot com. I finally Dwight finally bugged me
enough to get him over there. They did the MRI
of his eyeballs. MRI eyeballs right, is that what he
calls it? Yeah? He got it four seconds in each
eye and it's such a We sat there and looked
at his eyeball the front, the back. You can see

(18:27):
the stem of the eyeball. It's crazy. And then they
do the prescription and then it all took about an hour.
That's it. I went there with him. I drove out
there to the Hirschborn because there's eighteen locations. I drove
out there. He goes, man, please meet me. He was
like a little kid, did you please go? I don't
go by myself? So I went. That's exactly how he
sounded to so I went with him and took I

(18:49):
was there forty five minutes and he was just about
finishing up because he had to pick out his frames.
And they had three people there to help him pick
out frames, and everyone does. There's three people there. That's
all they do is pick out frames with you and
then they size you, they put you, they put the
glasses on you, and they have every type of frame
and he picked one out. They were in before he

(19:10):
left for Cabo, but I'm not sure that he got
over there to Vision first. Icare dot com back after

Dirtiest cities in the world.

Oh man, we're gonna do.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
This list, and I want to talk about We're gonna

me a name on this list the top ten dirtiest
cities in the world. John One, go, hang on, hang on.

(20:52):
Let me get you pot it up.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Go Beijing, Beijing.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Nope, really give me one, John two.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Were in Mississippi is where my brain goes. I don't
know dirtiest cities in the world. How about just New York.
It's pretty dirty.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
New York is not on this list. I'll give you Paris, France.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
I believe it.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Paris, France is one of the dirtiest city on.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
That loose armpit hair it is.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Oh. Stop.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
The first time I went to Paris, we were stopped
over going to Kuwait in ninety four and I stepped
out onto the air stair for the seven forty seven
we were on and it just smelled bad. It smelled old.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, that's well, it is old. They have the what's
under the city? Oh, the catacombs, the catacombs, right, all
the dead bodies, very old. But then all you see
is the scenes of Paris cafe and your pinky's out
and you're sitting there and someone with a beret is
playing a violin. Right.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Well, look at all the millions of euros they spent
to clean up the river sign to do the Olympic
swimming in and people still got sick in that thing.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
My buddy's one of his clients was just a redneck,
but he's he barely graduated from high school, but he's
really rich. Look some of the dumbest people I've ever met,
or people with college degrees. This guy made his bones
millions of dollars. And his wife is dragging him to Paris,
all right, and he goes, I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Go to Paris.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I want French people. I'm not even doing that. Why
I don't even want the hell I've done? He comes back,
tells my buddy. He goes about a condo. I love
that place, man. He goes, I can smoke cigarettes and
in the restaurants, Yeah, there's ashphrays on the table. He goes,
I say, what the hell, I bought a two bedroom
condo downtown Paris. That was like, there you go, that's

(22:34):
not cheap. Yeah, well he's got I must say. Deli India.
Delhi's on this list. Yeap, that India can be. That's
all I see. Yes, when I see the India picture,
right is the you know people in the you know,
it's it's not clean, little.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Three wheel taxis in the open air markets.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Uh. We just talked about Egypt and the dagger. You
believe the dagger that's not find it's crazy in King
Tut's grave. Yeah, all right, Cairo, Egypt is on this list.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Been there, I can believe that.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, Brussels, Belgium. I thought Belgium would be spotless.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
No, no, I mean I've been to Brussels, and I've
been to a couple other Bruises and a couple other
places there. It's the old. I think it's just because
of how old the old European cities are just old.
So it's like really old dirt, really old everything. It's
hard to get the funk off of it.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
I think that that's what we're getting to is a
reoccurring theme. When John did his six months in Madrid,
the toilet system, like toilet paper is different, and there
their sewers blew up while they were there. Of course,
there's three Americans living in this condo, in this apartment
in downtown Madrid. But he said they blew up all

(23:47):
over their stuff. The whole all of the poop was
all over their stuff. But he said there was now
when he when he was fourteen, he went to the
Galopokos Islands. This is even worse. So the Galopicos Islands.
To get there, you stay in Ecuador. Equator Ecuador's right there.
So when you stayed there in Ecuador, John.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Alden, you ready give it to me.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
You can't put the toilet paper in the toilet, so
you put it in the trash can next to you ve.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
Been there, bagdad a rack for a year and the
fob we lived on that.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
I'll put it into things, so he said. And my
sister actually went on the trip with him because it
was through the high schools through Trinity, so they all
went together and she said it was awful. She goes,
and that's why the windows, all the windows in every
place was open, like there's just open because I can't
as an American brain, you can't do what you're supposed
to do.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
And I'm doing the act right now.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
And that's why John's laughing. You do the act and
then roll it up, I guess, and throw it in
the trash can. Yes, I can't handle that.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
That was that took a little getting used to.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
I don't do I don't know why, but I don't
do bathroom humor and I don't get bathroom anything. No, Okay,
now that's why I look.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
At me like, stop, don't do it.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Yeah, I just in case you were thinking, that's why.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
That's why I say newlyweds separate bathrooms. Yes we happy.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Hey we still have that rule. No, if someone's got
to do that door is closed.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Shut that door. Yeah. Uh surprised with this. Milan, Italy.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Yeah, Rome was pretty dirty too.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Places Rome and Milan.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
I thought I was going to die when I drove
in Rome. That is one of them. That was one
of the most dangerous places to drive in I've ever driven.
You see the I've driven in Soul, Korea too.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, you see the roundabout those are easy. Well again,
a lot of these cities that I'm mentioning are also.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
What old, old old European cities.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
They're also the most visited places on Earth. Yeah, and
they are so the people that live in these cities. Paris, Venice,
they are done with tourists.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Well it was it was it's Venice. Uh that just
said no, they're limiting how many crews because the cruise
terminal port is right downtown, right, and they've started saying,
you know what, We're gonna start limiting limits ships that
are coming in right.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Where was the place where people were pooping in the
river to try to get them to keep from having
the Olympics there.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
No, it wasn't the Olympics. Wasn't it Elon Musk's Was
it not Musks? Bezos weddings, wedding.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
I thought I thought there was something something about the Olympics.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
I thought it was Bezels wedding. They were they hated
that they was there. Remember, the richest people, the most
famous people were there for to day taking over. Can
you imagine working in that city? But the people that
live there say, we can't get to our work and
too what we want to do. Uh because of tourists, right,
because of tours And it's not it's not just exclusively American.
A lot of Asian tourists also, they travel a lot. Uh,

(26:50):
so you've got to pick your time. That's the only
reason I haven't gone to Rome because I want to
go to the Vatican. Oh don't cradle Catholic here, got
to go see it. But I see they're like, if
you don't hire someone, or you don't get into a group,
you're never gonna get in. I didn't wait in line, We.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Didn't we didn't even have to wait in line. And
this was the year that they were doing the beatification
of Pope John Paul the Second. We went kind of
late that day after seeing the coliseum and some other stuff,
but we walked in. I walked into Saint Peter's Cathedral
and I'm not a Catholic, but I felt like I
needed to kneel and cross myself just walking in that place.
It's amazing.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah, my son when he went there, he traveled every
weekend he had. He had Easter Mass in the coliseum
with the Pope.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Oh wow.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
And he sent a picture of it. He was in
a roam bar drinking a cappuccino martini, which I'd.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Never heard of.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
Oh those are great. Those are awesome.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
But it's like a red bull with vaching jack you
up and you had dress. But you hear the bad
in the good stories, right like you people go over
there and go I didn't. I didn't see it. I
didn't see it. I didn't see the crime. I didn't
see the immigrants. I didn't see anything. We had a
great time.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
They do a good job around the historic site and
the tourist areas of keeping that away. It's it's just
if you decide to do a little urban exploration and
go down some of the side streets. You know, you
get some some gamer nerds like I'm gonna go find
all the places in Paris where they're on call of
duty Modern warfare. Three that you start getting into trouble.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
All right, let's do America.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Okay, So.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
I think there's one city that we all three are
thinking of that also, John, you wanted to answer.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
I said New York earlier. It's no, it's not that.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
It also is famous for corruption.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
San Francisco, Chicago, that too, No, New Orleans, Gary in
New Orleans, New Orleans is is Is it Louisiana and
the city of New Orleans famous for political corruption?

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Oh? Yeah, they're like they're the top of the heap.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
They did a movie on it about Huey Long with
Paul Newman.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Yeah, oh no, it is. It's it's famous. That's why
the worst place for Katrina to hit was the most
corrupt political city in state was Louisiana.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
When even your emergency storm levee board is corrupt and
taking money in their pockets that should be going towards
strengthening the levey, you know you're in a corrupt stay.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
The only time I was in New Orleans was I
was covering the nineteen ninety three UK Final four the
Michigan Weber Famous time out. I was working for WQMF
and the HS people at the time were like, why
are you all here? You're a rock station. We're like
the same demo. We're going to start doing this stuff.
So I covered it and I had a great time.

(29:28):
I'd noticed that you can't take a left. No, I
think they've changed that though, right right, you could only
and people are like, what do you mean you can't
take a left, you can only take right turns.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
A lot of that's down on Bourbon Street, yeah area, yeah,
down around the French Quarter. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
And again I don't remember much from covering. We would
try to do all the interviews as early as possible
