Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to our number three. We are brought to you
by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety Tony Venetti in
twy It will be back on Thursday. Of course, his
precious little soul needs to have a decompression day after
his week long decompression in Paradise after working one day
(00:20):
and was off for six.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You should tell him, or you should not tell him,
that you're gonna take off Thursday and Friday. See what
happensbody comes in.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I don't know if I've mentioned it to him. He
continues to send me pictures and video. Maybe that's why
I'm don't feel so well.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, it's the part of the second hand It's like
secondhand smoke.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You know. Every once in a while there's a place
that gets you know, a beloved place that is going
to close. And the stories are community rallies to save
so and so. Well, if the community needs to rally,
it never works, by the way, Okay, it never worked.
The older you get, the more times you see this.
(01:03):
When you're young in your twenties, you're like, yeah, we
should save the Baxsterra Avenue theaters in the Highlands. And
I've I've seen plenty of movies there. But that whole
area is getting it's it's getting turned over. I'm not
sure if the rich people are leaving, which I'm pretty
sure is what's happening. But that was the baxterra Avenue
(01:24):
Theater always had the artsy fou fu movies along with
like a die Hard or Avengers. Right, they'd have the Avengers,
but they also would have the weird art movie like
sun Dance type movie. Yeah, exactly perfect, yep. But if
the community needs to rally, then you're already closed. Mid
(01:46):
City Mall is getting sold. The back door closed. Remember,
I don't know if somebody bought it or they reopened it,
but that's not going to be the same place the
back door. The back door was in literally in the
back of the mall there, and it was not a
place you go, it's a place you end up. How
(02:09):
did we end up at the back door? It's what
we always do, man, And we'd always there was a
guy I'm gonna chase this squirrel. There was a guy
that had a pickup truck that ran electric from his
engine to a freezer in the back of his big
pickup truck. And around three am he'd pull that thing
(02:29):
into a parking spot behind the back door and sell steaks.
And we would all buy steaks, go home at three
o'clock in the morning, cook up steaks, eat and pass
out and life was good because everybody hangs out with
(02:55):
back then. Somebody was a cook, somebody was a chef
or a cook or whatever, and it was like, Gravis
is gonna cook the steaks. But it was just that
I don't know who that guy was, but he made
a ton of money and I don't know if they
were legitimate. They tasted great, could have been eaten like
dog froe nose. But he sold steaks out of his freezer,
(03:16):
and I'm like, how do you how do you run
this thing? The wire is running to his engine. It
was rigged up.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Kind of fumes in those steaks. You never know.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
But the Highlands are fascinating because it really was one
of the parts that made Louisville unique and cool. You know,
the t shirts keep Louisville weird. The Highlands was one
of those things. It was cool people that were a
little different, and walkability that was the big thing. Walkability
(03:45):
is the keywords for politicians now. Jackie says it all
the time. She's on Saint Matthew's City Council. She's on
the walkability whatever panel. But the Highlands was great and
then crime started to creep in and drug addicts started
to come in, and people in the Highlands will tell
you it's been awful to live there for a couple
(04:06):
of years longer than that, but it was the cool
place to live. It was the cool place to hang
out the Highlands. But they've got real problems in the Highlands.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
It was funny you were talking earlier about the year
in review. I think one of the bigger stories was
all the street the jumping on police cars yep, down
in the Highlands this year.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I mean the worst thing, the worst thing that happened
was a fight at the end of the night or
a fight in the parking lot, like between two drunk idiots,
usually my friends. But then it turned to people getting shot,
like what's going on? And then the street takeovers and
that's the last it. Once the street takeovers go on,
(04:54):
people are like, Nope, not going there because my son
came in town and Wednesday night before Thanksgiving is still
that debauchery night. It has been for decades. It's like
the twenty something's come in town, they go out. I
mean a lot of money bargiging for the rock radio
station thirty years ago, doing those gigs on Wednesday night
(05:19):
and he was going to go down to the Highlands
and his mother and I were like, all right, that's cool,
but be careful. I never would have said that. Twenty
years ago. I wouldn't have said I wouldn't have worried
about my son going to Bartstown Road. But if you know,
kids don't go out till ten or eleven o'clock. And
I'm like, be careful. But if this community has to rally,
(05:43):
it's already over. Because if you if the community wanted
it there, they would have gone there, and it wouldn't
have It wouldn't be a deal anyway. Loull Business First
is a great source if you don't. They are not
a sponsor of my show. They don't sponsor me. I
don't endorse them, but they seem to get every story
(06:04):
first when it comes to reporting stories like this. But
the mall's, you know, gonna get a turnover and it
needs it. To tell you the truth, the staple was
Skyline Chili out front back door bar in the back
Baxter Theater right there the weird flea market stores that
were inside the mall. Right, that was the vibe for
(06:28):
that area. But if the community needs to rally to
save the theaters, it won't. That won't happen. It's already too late.
It's already too late. I had suggested, because there's parts
of my brain, John that are brilliant.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Of course, it's the Italian, the Cuban Italian in you, right,
And there's parts that are third grade. That's also the
Cuban Italian.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Correct, right, parts that are smart, parts that are evan eddie.
But I said, why aren't we putting these data centers underground?
It costs too much. It's already a two billion what's
what's one hundred billion?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That sounds like like think about if those things were underground,
Like people already freaked out about being near like a
nuclear power plant. Like, imagine walking under these data centers
and a bunch of weird energies. Chemicals are getting into
your body and you don't know it.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Okay, now you're ruining my idea. But look, man, you
know how that stuff is built on landfills. Come on, Dan,
come on, dude. So I said, build them underground? It
would you know it's a it's more of a consistent temperature.
Because you have to cool these things. That's the big issue.
That's why it takes so much electricity. So I said,
(07:42):
why don't you build it in the underground caverns there
where the Christmas lights are? Oh, mega, mega caverns under
the zoo, I said, just put them there. Man. They
got millions and millions of square feet. But of course,
in Europe, Finland figures it out. Finland is using heat
from the data centers to warm all their homes and buildings,
(08:08):
and not just like one or two, but like eighty
percent of the area's heating needs are being met by
underground data centers. Of course we never get there because
of our politics and regulation. I never thought I'd be
(08:30):
such an anti regulation guy, but I've become that person.
You can't buy a twenty five thousand dollars car because
of regulation. Now you have to put this on it,
and you have to put this, and you got to
include this. So people ask, why can't a torus? Why
can't the you know, four tourists, which they sold trillions
(08:52):
of millions cars, millions of cars. Why can't you build
a four tourists? You can't build those anymore because there's
too much regulation stuff on them. So in America it's like,
the data centers are probably regulated like crazy, and they
probably should be. But Finland was like, okay, how do
we use this to our advantage? So Finland is heating
(09:14):
their homes and their buildings from the data centers underground.
Good job, Finland. We got to be more like Finland.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Until they all get cancer in thirty years because of
all the energy that's coming up from these data centers.
That's not funny, but like it is.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
You got to ruin everything, dude.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
There's always devil's advocate. There's a good and bad to everything.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah, and good intentions aren't enough, all right, that's the
argument point when I have with some of my more
liberal friends, I'm like, yeah, good intentions only go so far, dude,
it's not enough. The aftermath of your good intentions is
worse than the weather thing you were trying to avoid.
(09:58):
But that's America and that's what we do. But what
a great what a great idea, right heat all of it.
I remember there was a I remember doing the story
because somebody had just finished spend spending whatever three billion
dollars on a football stadium in America, and this Caribbean
island had taken landfill, created an island of landfill, capped
(10:20):
it off, and then put the pipes in there to
heat all their water to run their electricity. Instead of
burning oil or natural gas to create their electricity, the
landfill does it for them. And they spent like a
half a billion dollars. And I think I did the
story of we build football stadiums. These countries build, do
(10:42):
this and they have zero costs, not zero costs because
obviously the infrastructure for the gas to create the gas
or the electricity. I apologize, but what a smart idea.
We don't do that stuff anymore, you know, America. I
hate to boil it down to we go to the mall,
(11:04):
but we go to the mall. That's what we do,
is shop. We don't have. We don't do that stuff anymore.
We don't create these great ideas and infrastructure. And hey,
I got one. And remember we did everything for one
hundred years. For one hundred years there we were a
(11:24):
steam engine, airplane car all that that was US. America
did a bunch electricity. These are kind of important things
for civilization. All came from Americans from America, and we
(11:45):
don't do that stuff anymore. We invent the Internet.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
That's why Apple and Google are probably two of the
most profit whatever you want to call them net highest
net profit companies in the maybe the world, not just
the United S.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's insane. I saw that story where the two guys
that started the free the three app, the free I'm
sorry app that gets you addicted, the free to play
mobile gaming where they oh, gosh, what's the games like Candy.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Crush, Angry Birds, Oh, Jandy Crush.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Right, everyone does that, right, Well, these two guys worked
for Google, and Google was like, no, no, no, no, this
this affects the brain too much. This is this gets
them addicted. We don't we're not doing this initiative. Well
they left and they started anyway. And in twenty twenty four,
(12:40):
this is four years ago, and in twenty twenty four
that market hit one hundred and seven billion dollars for
a free game you download.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I guess, I guess they're making money off of advertising
in the game or I don't.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Know how it.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I don't know how it's layered and how make money.
I know. Yet there's some of the games. You can
buy diamonds or whatever you can buy to help you out. Sure, right,
but they they get you addicted. And then the algorithm,
which we we that's got to be the word of
the decade. The algorithm get you addicted to go another
fifteen minutes, another thirty minutes to look at it every
(13:19):
sixty seconds, to play it again. You know, oh, I
almost almost got to the next level. But they started
out it's free. Oh download it. It's free. It doesn't
cost anything. One hundred and seven billion dollars. These guys
are billionaires. To goofy dudes that invented something that that
(13:41):
an evil corporation said, that's too far, dude, we don't
want to mess with people too much. Well, we're not
going to do this initiative. So they left and did
it anyway, and it became candy crushing the rest of it.
And what's the one with the spelling A wordle? Wordle? Yeah, wordle?
(14:03):
Do you you compete with someone? Right? I don't know
what that game is. I know Terry Miners talks about
it all the time.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Maybe it's a different. Wordle was a thing for a while.
There's probably more than one game of that type of
wordle was where you you would guess the letters and
they would kind of fill it, kind of like wheel
of Fortune. You would kind of go through the the
you got like five or six guesses to see what
the warriot is or something of the day.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
But that's the same thing. And it's it's a you know,
it's it's getting to you know, a trillion dollar business here.
And the original thought is any businessman that comes from
the eighties or nineties or two thousands are like, well,
how does it make money? If it if it's free,
if you let them download it for free, just hang on.
We got it. And the people that are like this
(14:46):
is going to work, it happened. And the casino situation,
so that's you know, you you have a casino on
your phone. That is the that's the thing that we
all need to keep an eye on. The casino on
your phone. Stiver's the President of the Senate. He just
(15:07):
kept fighting with us on the air. Remember about I
love Stuivers by the way, He's done more for Louisville
as a president of the Senate and the Commonwealth of
Kentucky than any president ever. But he kept fighting the
gaming thing, and we were just like, just do it. Man,
finally did it. Now I'm thinking he might have been right.
I see all these twenty somethings glued to their phone
(15:30):
and they're just gambling on turnovers and the color of
someone's cleats. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
It's bad for those who get addicted, but it's great
for the economy. That's I see what they're fighting for
morality wise. Yeah, but as somebody who likes to indulge
in it but has the uh, you know what do
you even call it? I guess self control. I love
I love having the ability to just bet a few
bucks on something.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, and once the genies out of the bottle, you
have to do it because you know, we're the donut.
All the states around us have it. We're the donut.
You're going to actually lose people because some people are
going to go, y'all don't even have like gaming on
your phone. Bro, not moving to Kentucky. So no, I
get it. You got to do it because you're the donut.
We were last. We were last, as we always are. Yeah,
(16:15):
that's true, but there will be things, and things have
happened since then. I'm not sure if any NCUBA basketball
tournament will be legit moving forward. I know people won't
want to hear that, but that's the truth with gaming
(16:35):
in every state, in every college town with college students
and the other bad influence folks. I don't know if
any NCAA tournament will be actual legitimate. I'm not talking
about the final four, maybe the final four, those early
games certainly are going to be affected. You're going to
(16:56):
hear those stories moving forward a lot, for sure. All right,
that's a lot. No break there, all right, So we're
gonna just absorb that in my brain is just streaming
concepts at this point. We'll be back, take a short break.
You're listening to news radio eight forty whas
Welcome to our number three. We are brought to you
by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety Tony Venetti in
twy It will be back on Thursday. Of course, his
precious little soul needs to have a decompression day after
his week long decompression in Paradise after working one day
(00:20):
and was off for six.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You should tell him, or you should not tell him,
that you're gonna take off Thursday and Friday. See what
happensbody comes in.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I don't know if I've mentioned it to him. He
continues to send me pictures and video. Maybe that's why
I'm don't feel so well.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, it's the part of the second hand It's like
secondhand smoke.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You know. Every once in a while there's a place
that gets you know, a beloved place that is going
to close. And the stories are community rallies to save
so and so. Well, if the community needs to rally,
it never works, by the way, Okay, it never worked.
The older you get, the more times you see this.
(01:03):
When you're young in your twenties, you're like, yeah, we
should save the Baxsterra Avenue theaters in the Highlands. And
I've I've seen plenty of movies there. But that whole
area is getting it's it's getting turned over. I'm not
sure if the rich people are leaving, which I'm pretty
sure is what's happening. But that was the baxterra Avenue
(01:24):
Theater always had the artsy fou fu movies along with
like a die Hard or Avengers. Right, they'd have the Avengers,
but they also would have the weird art movie like
sun Dance type movie. Yeah, exactly perfect, yep. But if
the community needs to rally, then you're already closed. Mid
(01:46):
City Mall is getting sold. The back door closed. Remember,
I don't know if somebody bought it or they reopened it,
but that's not going to be the same place the
back door. The back door was in literally in the
back of the mall there, and it was not a
place you go, it's a place you end up. How
(02:09):
did we end up at the back door? It's what
we always do, man, And we'd always there was a
guy I'm gonna chase this squirrel. There was a guy
that had a pickup truck that ran electric from his
engine to a freezer in the back of his big
pickup truck. And around three am he'd pull that thing
(02:29):
into a parking spot behind the back door and sell steaks.
And we would all buy steaks, go home at three
o'clock in the morning, cook up steaks, eat and pass

(03:16):
and I'm like, how do you how do you run

was rigged up.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Kind of fumes in those steaks. You never know.

Of course, it's the Italian, the Cuban Italian in you, right,

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Correct, right, parts that are smart, parts that are evan eddie.
But I said, why aren't we putting these data centers underground?
It costs too much. It's already a two billion what's
what's one hundred billion?

Good job, Finland. We got to be more like Finland.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Until they all get cancer in thirty years because of

That's not funny, but like it is.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
You got to ruin everything, dude.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
There's always devil's advocate. There's a good and bad to everything.
Speaker 1 (09:37):

worse than the weather thing you were trying to avoid.
(09:58):
But that's America and that's what we do. But what
a great what a great idea, right heat all of it.
I remember there was a I remember doing the story
because somebody had just finished spend spending whatever three billion
dollars on a football stadium in America, and this Caribbean
island had taken landfill, created an island of landfill, capped
(10:20):
it off, and then put the pipes in there to
heat all their water to run their electricity. Instead of
burning oil or natural gas to create their electricity, the
landfill does it for them. And they spent like a
half a billion dollars. And I think I did the
story of we build football stadiums. These countries build, do
(10:42):
this and they have zero costs, not zero costs because
obviously the infrastructure for the gas to create the gas
or the electricity. I apologize, but what a smart idea.
We don't do that stuff anymore, you know, America. I
hate to boil it down to we go to the mall,
(11:04):
but we go to the mall. That's what we do,
is shop. We don't have. We don't do that stuff anymore.
We don't create these great ideas and infrastructure. And hey,
I got one. And remember we did everything for one
hundred years. For one hundred years there we were a
(11:24):
steam engine, airplane car all that that was US. America
did a bunch electricity. These are kind of important things
for civilization. All came from Americans from America, and we
(11:45):
don't do that stuff anymore. We invent the Internet.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
That's why Apple and Google are probably two of the
most profit whatever you want to call them net highest
net profit companies in the maybe the world, not just
the United S.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's insane. I saw that story where the two guys
that started the free the three app, the free I'm
sorry app that gets you addicted, the free to play
mobile gaming where they oh, gosh, what's the games like Candy.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Crush, Angry Birds, Oh, Jandy Crush.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Right, everyone does that, right, Well, these two guys worked
for Google, and Google was like, no, no, no, no, this
this affects the brain too much. This is this gets
them addicted. We don't we're not doing this initiative. Well
they left and they started anyway. And in twenty twenty four,
(12:40):
this is four years ago, and in twenty twenty four
that market hit one hundred and seven billion dollars for
a free game you download.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I guess, I guess they're making money off of advertising
in the game or I don't.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Know how it.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I don't know how it's layered and how make money.
I know. Yet there's some of the games. You can
buy diamonds or whatever you can buy to help you out. Sure, right,
but they they get you addicted. And then the algorithm,
which we we that's got to be the word of
the decade. The algorithm get you addicted to go another
fifteen minutes, another thirty minutes to look at it every
(13:19):
sixty seconds, to play it again. You know, oh, I
almost almost got to the next level. But they started
out it's free. Oh download it. It's free. It doesn't
cost anything. One hundred and seven billion dollars. These guys
are billionaires. To goofy dudes that invented something that that
(13:41):
an evil corporation said, that's too far, dude, we don't
want to mess with people too much. Well, we're not
going to do this initiative. So they left and did
it anyway, and it became candy crushing the rest of it.
And what's the one with the spelling A wordle? Wordle? Yeah, wordle?
(14:03):
Do you you compete with someone? Right? I don't know
what that game is. I know Terry Miners talks about
it all the time.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Maybe it's a different. Wordle was a thing for a while.
There's probably more than one game of that type of
wordle was where you you would guess the letters and
they would kind of fill it, kind of like wheel
of Fortune. You would kind of go through the the
you got like five or six guesses to see what
the warriot is or something of the day.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
But that's the same thing. And it's it's a you know,
it's it's getting to you know, a trillion dollar business here.
And the original thought is any businessman that comes from
the eighties or nineties or two thousands are like, well,
how does it make money? If it if it's free,
if you let them download it for free, just hang on.
We got it. And the people that are like this
(14:46):
is going to work, it happened. And the casino situation,
so that's you know, you you have a casino on
your phone. That is the that's the thing that we
all need to keep an eye on. The casino on
your phone. Stiver's the President of the Senate. He just
(15:07):
kept fighting with us on the air. Remember about I
love Stuivers by the way, He's done more for Louisville
as a president of the Senate and the Commonwealth of
Kentucky than any president ever. But he kept fighting the
gaming thing, and we were just like, just do it. Man,
finally did it. Now I'm thinking he might have been right.
I see all these twenty somethings glued to their phone
(15:30):
and they're just gambling on turnovers and the color of
someone's cleats. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
It's bad for those who get addicted, but it's great
for the economy. That's I see what they're fighting for
morality wise. Yeah, but as somebody who likes to indulge
in it but has the uh, you know what do
you even call it? I guess self control. I love
I love having the ability to just bet a few
bucks on something.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, and once the genies out of the bottle, you
have to do it because you know, we're the donut.
All the states around us have it. We're the donut.
You're going to actually lose people because some people are
going to go, y'all don't even have like gaming on
your phone. Bro, not moving to Kentucky. So no, I
get it. You got to do it because you're the donut.
We were last. We were last, as we always are. Yeah,
(16:15):
that's true, but there will be things, and things have
happened since then. I'm not sure if any NCUBA basketball
tournament will be legit moving forward. I know people won't
want to hear that, but that's the truth with gaming
(16:35):
in every state, in every college town with college students
and the other bad influence folks. I don't know if
any NCAA tournament will be actual legitimate. I'm not talking
about the final four, maybe the final four, those early
games certainly are going to be affected. You're going to
(16:56):
hear those stories moving forward a lot, for sure. All right,
that's a lot. No break there, all right, So we're
gonna just absorb that in my brain is just streaming
concepts at this point. We'll be back, take a short break.
