Speaker 1 (00:00):
I feel like, uh, welcome back by the Way News
Radio eight forty whas Tony and Dwight Hill brought you
by the Kentucky office of Vyghway Safety.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I feel like it should be story time.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Yeah, I like story time.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
We've been talking about Corn all morning because John, I
got got?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
You got got? How did you get gotten?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
So there was time. Hang on, John Auden, what is
it we're talking about Corn? K O r N.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It's a backward o r N.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
So there was evidently this was an April Fools post
that I didn't see until very recently, but there was
a post that was made that Corn there was going
to be a Netflix, a three part in Netflix documentary
series on the band Corn. Right and Venetti and I
were talking during the break about an hour or so
ago about how insane and unnecessary that would be. But
(00:48):
then I figured out doing a little bit of digging,
that that was.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
It was fake.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
That was the first thing I popped in my head.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I went, there's no way they're doing a three part
series on Corn, a mid level too high level band
for five years in the nineties.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
And I said, oh, it's time for.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Story time, okay, because everybody goes tell us the story
about your rock duss of corn every single song.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
No, pretty good, it's pretty accurate.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So we used to in our old rock station used
to broadcast so the concerts at Louisville Gardens, and we
used to broadcast on Muhammad Ali Boulevard and we would
have the van open and all the jocks be sitting
out there. We'd have the station blaring, and it would
be two hours before the concert, and right before the concert.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
We would manual. We would get remember.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Koozies were a big thing for a while, and we
would have the band name and the station station call
it ters on the stuff, t shirts, buttons, coozies. We
did it for everybody, and almost all the bands loved it.
They're like, oh my gosh, thank you so much. That's great.
That's great. People will be drinking beer with our band's
name on it. We don't have to pay it, no
mind you. We didn't sell them. We gave it away.
(02:01):
We gave it away. We would get record reps for
playing their music. We would get record reps to be
nice enough to just give us the money for this merchandise.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So we did it for corn. We did it. Why
don't you play my song.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I played it four times and overnights, what do you
think koozies are worse? So so we do it for
Corn night. This is a little story time because he
brought it up on the Netflix thing. And sure enough,
here comes these badges, these guys with the little they
you know, it looks like a TV show and they
got the badge hanging around their chest like their like
their New York p d uh. And they go over
(02:41):
and go hey man. They're all like, uh, you work
for the station. We're like, yeah, just put your hands
by your back. We're going to jail. We're going to jail.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
And we're like, well, wow, wow, wow.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
They said, you can't. We're with the management. We're with
with the Feds. You cannot put someone's name on the
thing and give them away at the bands. So and said,
no one, no one will put on name on anything
given the way. We're the Cords, we're the corn Okay,
(03:12):
So right there, and my boss, God rest his soul.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Michael Lee. He comes over.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Michael he was about six three three fifty and he
goes hang on.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
He was like Zeppelin's manager.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
He was Peter. He was well.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
He comes over and he says, hey, man, he goes,
what's going on. He goes, I'm resting these guys for
giving this stuff away. He goes, by the way that
I'm their boss. If you're gonna arrest anyone, arrest me.
And they're like, okay, we'll arrest you. And he goes,
hang on, let me make a phone call. Makes the
phone call, calls Corn's manager, and I can hear him go, congratulations,
you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna get your band song
(03:49):
taking off every radio station on the Eastern seaboard. And
and that second, like everything change. People were running out
of Louva gardens. There's managers running out of lout of gardens. Hey, hey,
hey on, everything's good, Everything's good.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And meanwhile I'm still with my hands on the van
like I'm gonna rest it, going gosh, I hope I
don't have a contraband in my butt. It'uh so.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
But if you fast forward years later, I saw an
interview with him. They were very you know, they figured
it out. They're just like, man, we're just so glad
y'all are interviewing us, and y'all are great, and thank
you so much because they figured it out. It's like, dude,
your corn.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I used to love Louisville Gardens just as a concert venue,
but I also loved how we would show up before
the concert and interact. Most most of the time I
wanted to go. The one time I didn't care to
go was the Marilyn Manson show. I was on w
QM math.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
It was a weird and we have a Manson impression.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
No, no, I don't, okay. That was a weird era.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It was a really weird era. And I had to
go there and I had to work for the station
out in front and greet people whatever, and I had
to go in and get sound. But while I was there,
I was out front by the van. I looked and
I saw a woman that I knew all right, and
(05:14):
let's call her Leanne Helm.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Okay, he always has to use all the names. It's
like he can't help himself.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I'm not saying it's a real nice This is.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
How we get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You said the full three names, so you narrowed it
only to that person.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yes, no, go ahead. I had to come up with
a fake name. Go what I say. Her name was
Leanne Jelms. No Helm Helms. Hell, let's go with hell
Holmes Helms. So I see this LeeAnne Helm and she
has a cameraman behind her. Okay, and I've known her
since high school. But she's got a cameraman behind her,
and she has a photo journalist tag on her front.
(05:54):
And I see her. I went, Leeann, Hell, wait, you're
with w DRB. I thought you were a cop, because
she was, because she was a police officer, right, she
was a police officer over years out. And so her
face starts to turn around. I went, len, are you
no longer with l MPD. What do you do? How
(06:14):
wouldn't you start work for w r B. She was,
she was undercover.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Of course, she was big dumb animals.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
She was undercover. And what they were doing is they
would see somebody with activity, you know, and she would
walk over and go, hey, I'm a w a B.
Can we uh can can we interview you? And they
would get they would say okay. They would interview them
and they go, we need for legal legal reasons you're name,
and they would give them to her.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
By the way, I didn't know she was undercovered, John, John.
The problem is I've seen in a thousand times.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
So yeah, I'm just as naive. I would have done
the same thing as Dwight. No, I thought you're ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Let's tell you were a cop.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Uh it doesn't top the trip where Oh.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
No, you can't tell. Oh I'm not gonna you can't
tell that story, right, all right?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
So so n T I again, thank you, JCPS, thank you,
thank you. Because I might have been late to work today.
I got plenty of time. But it is crazy. If
you work anywhere near downtown or near the river, or
any part that has a little trouble tour towards the rival,
then it's difficult to get to work. I had to
(07:25):
go frank I usually go Brownsboro, and I'm going Frankfurt Avenue.
I'm on stilts. I was on Stilts Avenue today and
I've never been.
Speaker 2 (07:33):

where it's gonna be choking the lawn more.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
I call it the car wash, the Vision First car wash.
Go to Vision firstiicare dot com. We were there last
year and there was a six month old getting glasses.
Was the cutest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
I am disappointed that you didn't go with the Elton
John frames I picked out for you. I thought they
really framed your face.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
They were out, they were out very they were out
of Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Vision Firstcare dot Com back after this on news radio
eight forty WHA News radio eight forty whas Tony and
Dwight Show brought by the Kentucky Office Highway Safety. That
music means it's Marty Book and Earl Books carriage forward.
As the college basketball season wraps up last night with
the national championship and the Florida Gators are the national
(21:46):
champs for twenty twenty five, Marty Book, your thoughts on that.
I know you're very happy about it.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
It was a bad Have you ever watched a bad
good game?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yes, plenty plenty it was.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
It was a bad good game that was for basketball.
It's either one of those teams that played in the tournament. Yeah,
I mean, it's just it's not well played. But it
was exciting, you know, and it comes down to the end.
My number one big is I told you privately, was
the under because it happens every year, would they they
when you get through the NCAA tournament, you are dogged
(22:25):
out by the time you get to the end and
you lose the legs and you notice it. I mean
at that first the shooting in that first ten to
fifteen minutes was atrocious, you know, and that's it happens
that way every year.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I kind of saw that in the first There were
plenty of NCAA Basketball tournament games that where that was happening,
where you were like, the score is ten to twelve
with five to go in the first half.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
You know, like what is going on?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
People are tight, they're they're they're they're not loose, They're
just they know if they lose, they go home. And
they're on the biggest stage. And you know that's the
problem with the ruining the regular season. The regular season
nobody wants so they're playing to half empties Arenas and
the ratings are like point two point zero two, so
they know no one's watching regular season college basketball. This
(23:11):
is the stage. So yeah, they get tied a little bit.
But I know you were cheering for Kelvin Sampson. You're
the IU guy. He coached at IU. They are connected
forever with this stupid texting scandal, and I know you
were cheering for him, for him to have some sort
of redemption. Your thoughts on Kelvin Sampson.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Well, I had two rooting interest in this thing, which
was Bruce Pearl with Auburn, Kelvin Sampson with Houston, and
the luck of Martin Brook took up both down Hopefully
they don't find out that I was involved in this.
But you know, Sampson's made of the resurrection from something
that possibly was not that you know, wasn't that deadly
(23:53):
or whatever. You know, it's one of those things that
he did wrong because they told him what he couldn't do.
But you do you remember the cell phones first, Cane
and you would get the actual itemize bill, like your
text and stuff like that, and you look at it
and you go, there's no way. Yeah, I know, because
(24:15):
you just don't.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yes, you just don't realize how many text times you
were texting.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
It's right, and it's it's I don't think that he
intentionally did what he did, but you know that's that's
what the rules were.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
And hang on, hang on you maybe you just hang on.
You just made me remember those printed out? Can you
imagine a company doing that now, printing out all of
your text message times and new you text?
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Right?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
That was crazy?
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Well, you know people boys and girls get get busted
enough these days. Can you imagine in the male you
know what I'm not, Uh, there's a technology. This is
kind of a which but technology talk with you. Uh.
One of my friend of mine was calling his booky.
You know when when he first start hooking phones up
(25:09):
to your vehicle, you know when you can with the
sink or whatever. Yeah, he is driving, he's driving behind
his wife. He's driving his vehicle. He's in the car
behind Yeah, and he's bet with his book with his bookie,
and she's listening. These things came alone way.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
They go a long way.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
All right, let's get all right, let's get back. So
season's over.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I you obviously had a disappointing year because they fired
their coach or I'm sorry he left.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
He voluntarily said I'm out. I guess uh.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Louisville had a pretty good year. Didn't end the way
they wanted to, but people were happy. Kentucky same story,
ended wrong, but had a great year of very excitement.
All new coaches. Who is I you look, No, we've
we've fired somebody. We've already got somebody.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, the DeBras or yeah, yeah, okay, the.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
West the West Virginia Guide. And here's the thing right now,
I think we're up to three players, so we can
get too mobile. We can put it to put the
line up out there. Everybody left, everybody left there. There's
I think there's talk that good. He is coming back
and I know he's bringing his son with him who's
a sharpshooter. And there's a kid from Northwestern, or there's
(26:24):
somebody that's that's a Big ten player that's coming to us. Well, uh,
we lost some guys to the Big ten. Uh any
think of his name is going to Ohio State. But
I mean this portal man, you know were we talk
about it all the time. You know. I heard Seth
Greenberg say something the other day and it makes sense
(26:46):
to me because you know, when a coach, you know,
people say coach can leave any time. He can, But
what what does the coach have? He has a buy out?
And if we're going to let these kids do that
sort of contract, yeah, to make it so there to
buy yeah, you know what it makes makes some sen.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yeah yeah, you know yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Well on the other side of that, ESPN comes out
with their too early top twenty five and has and
has Purdue, has Purdue it too, and Louisville as number three,
way too early top twenty five. And people are like
because they they he went out and landed three of
(27:29):
the top fifteen portal guys in the country.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
That's insane. That's insane.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Well, you know, I was looking at the way too early.
I wanted to win men's basketball for next year. Duke
was favored, Kentucky was three or four, and Louisville was
in the top tens.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Which one.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Oh yeah for the for the bookies, Yeah for the bookies.
Yeah yeah, yeah, no, they're both back. That's all we want.
I mean, that's all we want. You're looking at Houston
and that, Yeah, that's it. That's we just want relevancy,
that you're gonna play some good games and all that.
You don't have to be perfect and get in the
tournament and make some noise.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
That's all we want. That's all we want. It's too
hard to win. It's too hard to win the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
It takes so much from the joy of the tournament
when your team's not in it. I know. And that's
even I.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Had no interest last night. I had no interest last night.
I just didn't. I was just like, I'm out.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Well that was me the whole tournament. I mean, I
tuned in because that's what I do. I watched sports,
but as far as it being men puffed up and
making the schedules, I got to be here at a
certain time or whatever. Nah, I mean, it's just it.
If it hit hit my schedule, it hit my schedule.
If it didn't, it didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Well, what happens now is literally the game's over. We
will turn to the Jeff Brahms and and you've got
you two. You got year two of you two. You
got year two of that crazy ass damn coach. You
got it IU football. That had the best year maybe
in the history of the damn program. And it was
(29:06):
just crazy. And he's year two. He's got to do
it again. I'm ready. I'm ready to start talking football.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I really am.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
You know this weather today is football season is still
going on. Jesus, I know it.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yea, yes, it is, all right, So I am ready
for yeah, ready, all right, here's the deal. You've got
a lot of great trucks on a lot.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I'd like to talk about the Escape because the Escape
is a four door mid size suv that is thirty ish.
It's thirty around thirty thousand in below, which is unheard
of for a new car. The average price of a
new car, I think is now at fifty one thousand
or something. So I think the best buy I've known
so many people that have an Escape and it's running
(29:53):
with two hundred and fifty thousand miles on it. I
mean they're great vehicles. Ford makes a great car. Talk
about the escape and the deals that you got for
the escapes, and of course they have one fifty.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
You know, we just signed up for another to pick
up another. Plug in hybrid today, I don't know people
have familiarized themselves where they plug in hybrid. Okay, what
that is the combination of gas and you can add
a little extra just when you go to bed and
I plug plugging it in your wall. You don't even
have special equipment or anything like that. It picks you
up like an extra eighty miles. Okay, the matter's on
(30:26):
a trip. Yeah, and you've got a gas gauge, you know.
So it's it's a little bit of the beach. I
love the fact that it's made right here in Louisville. Uh,
what's thing I don't have? That's that's PAHTV plug in
electric vehicle.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yeah, but what's the name of the vehicle.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
It's escape?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Oh Escape? Oh yeah, I missed that part that escaped me.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
Yeah, whatever, I got it. I got it.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
You didn't laugh at it.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
I had to sneeze at it. Uh, this is it's
just a then you can get the regular, you can
get a full hybrid, you can get full gas or whatever.
It's just something I find interesting because it just gives
you a little bit extra and it doesn't cost anything. Yeah,
it gives you a little bit of distance and stuff
like that. You know. I want to touch on this, Tony,
because I got a lot of phone calls on this.
(31:17):
As many people know around here, Ford has went to
employee pricing for everybody. I know, that's a plan pricing
for everybody. Now. I think it's runned a couple of
people wrong in the UAW and we've received some phone
calls and things like that, And I would just like
to say, guys, think of it this way. If we're
selling cars, it's helping you. You know it's yes, it's
(31:39):
a benefit that you have right now. But if your
company needs to start moving some product, it's going to
help you. It's going to help you in your job.
So look at it as a positive. Please do it
for me because it is. I mean, it's a good
thing for your dealers or your local community. You know,
we're all right here, We're all together. We also for
(32:00):
each other. I would love the fact there's two plants
you know, right here and will Well and that's why
there's so many forward dealers than if you look at
it that way. But if we're selling cars forward more
company employees, you're building cars.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Yeah, it's it will that tells me it's a it's
a great deal. If they're upset about it a little bit,
which is crazy to me, I'm not sure. Uh, but yeah,
if you're moving cars off the lot, that means you've
got to make something to put them back on there.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So that's the deal.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, so let's get it. It's it's uh, employee pricing.
You're gonna get the deals that Marty gets. You're gonna
get the deal that the guys that work at Ford get.
And that's no bs, that's actual.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Fact, yep, one hundred percent factors, nothing hidden to it.
And if there's rebates on it and it comes off
of that, if there's interest rates, you get the interest rates.
You get every benefit. If you don't lose anything by
having employee pricing, you don't lose rebate or anything like that.
You pick all that stuff up.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Marty Book from Earl Books carriage Ford. It's best by
a country mouth. Get a hold of a carriage forward

was the sneak and deacon or Carl Schmidt that used
(33:41):
to do Louisville Sports Commission. He said, I'm going by there.
I said, get the chipolte pasta, chicken chipolte pasta salad.
I said, if it's not the best.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
I'll pay for it.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
I said, I'll pay for it now. I'm not telling
you that because I'm not whatever. But it is the
best pasta salad you ever have. It's got cues of cheese,
the chicken, it's got that chipolte, it's got just enough heat,
and the pasta in there is the bowtie pasta.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
It's so delicious. Check it out today.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Rattlesnake cheese that's at the front, right at the right
if you ask for it, because that's what Dwight.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Puts on his eggs.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
So he just scrapes a bunch of that rattlesnake cheese
onto his eggs in the morning and it just sets
them off right. They got it all at Lots of

Saint Matthew's. All right, boys and girls, we will see

got fired twice today, and I on fired you twice.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
That's the way to do it.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
That's exactly right. We'll see you later. For Dwight Whitning
now Tony Vernatty on news radio eight forty w h
as
I feel like, uh, welcome back by the Way News
Radio eight forty whas Tony and Dwight Hill brought you
by the Kentucky office of Vyghway Safety.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I feel like it should be story time.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Yeah, I like story time.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
We've been talking about Corn all morning because John, I
got got?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
You got got? How did you get gotten?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
So there was time. Hang on, John Auden, what is
it we're talking about Corn? K O r N.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It's a backward o r N.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
So there was evidently this was an April Fools post
that I didn't see until very recently, but there was
a post that was made that Corn there was going
to be a Netflix, a three part in Netflix documentary
series on the band Corn. Right and Venetti and I
were talking during the break about an hour or so
ago about how insane and unnecessary that would be. But
(00:48):
then I figured out doing a little bit of digging,
that that was.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
It was fake.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
That was the first thing I popped in my head.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I went, there's no way they're doing a three part
series on Corn, a mid level too high level band
for five years in the nineties.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
And I said, oh, it's time for.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Story time, okay, because everybody goes tell us the story
about your rock duss of corn every single song.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
No, pretty good, it's pretty accurate.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So we used to in our old rock station used
to broadcast so the concerts at Louisville Gardens, and we
used to broadcast on Muhammad Ali Boulevard and we would
have the van open and all the jocks be sitting
out there. We'd have the station blaring, and it would
be two hours before the concert, and right before the concert.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
We would manual. We would get remember.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Koozies were a big thing for a while, and we
would have the band name and the station station call
it ters on the stuff, t shirts, buttons, coozies. We
did it for everybody, and almost all the bands loved it.
They're like, oh my gosh, thank you so much. That's great.
That's great. People will be drinking beer with our band's
name on it. We don't have to pay it, no
mind you. We didn't sell them. We gave it away.
(02:01):
We gave it away. We would get record reps for
playing their music. We would get record reps to be
nice enough to just give us the money for this merchandise.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So we did it for corn. We did it. Why
don't you play my song.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I played it four times and overnights, what do you
think koozies are worse? So so we do it for
Corn night. This is a little story time because he
brought it up on the Netflix thing. And sure enough,
here comes these badges, these guys with the little they
you know, it looks like a TV show and they
got the badge hanging around their chest like their like
their New York p d uh. And they go over
(02:41):
and go hey man. They're all like, uh, you work
for the station. We're like, yeah, just put your hands
by your back. We're going to jail. We're going to jail.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
And we're like, well, wow, wow, wow.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
They said, you can't. We're with the management. We're with
with the Feds. You cannot put someone's name on the
thing and give them away at the bands. So and said,
no one, no one will put on name on anything
given the way. We're the Cords, we're the corn Okay,
(03:12):
So right there, and my boss, God rest his soul.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Michael Lee. He comes over.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Michael he was about six three three fifty and he
goes hang on.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
He was like Zeppelin's manager.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
He was Peter. He was well.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
He comes over and he says, hey, man, he goes,
what's going on. He goes, I'm resting these guys for
giving this stuff away. He goes, by the way that
I'm their boss. If you're gonna arrest anyone, arrest me.
And they're like, okay, we'll arrest you. And he goes,
hang on, let me make a phone call. Makes the
phone call, calls Corn's manager, and I can hear him go, congratulations,
you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna get your band song
(03:49):
taking off every radio station on the Eastern seaboard. And
and that second, like everything change. People were running out
of Louva gardens. There's managers running out of lout of gardens. Hey, hey,
hey on, everything's good, Everything's good.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And meanwhile I'm still with my hands on the van
like I'm gonna rest it, going gosh, I hope I
don't have a contraband in my butt. It'uh so.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
But if you fast forward years later, I saw an
interview with him. They were very you know, they figured
it out. They're just like, man, we're just so glad
y'all are interviewing us, and y'all are great, and thank
you so much because they figured it out. It's like, dude,
your corn.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I used to love Louisville Gardens just as a concert venue,
but I also loved how we would show up before
the concert and interact. Most most of the time I
wanted to go. The one time I didn't care to
go was the Marilyn Manson show. I was on w
QM math.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
It was a weird and we have a Manson impression.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
No, no, I don't, okay. That was a weird era.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It was a really weird era. And I had to
go there and I had to work for the station
out in front and greet people whatever, and I had
to go in and get sound. But while I was there,
I was out front by the van. I looked and
I saw a woman that I knew all right, and
(05:14):
let's call her Leanne Helm.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Okay, he always has to use all the names. It's
like he can't help himself.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I'm not saying it's a real nice This is.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
How we get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You said the full three names, so you narrowed it
only to that person.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yes, no, go ahead. I had to come up with
a fake name. Go what I say. Her name was
Leanne Jelms. No Helm Helms. Hell, let's go with hell
Holmes Helms. So I see this LeeAnne Helm and she
has a cameraman behind her. Okay, and I've known her
since high school. But she's got a cameraman behind her,
and she has a photo journalist tag on her front.
(05:54):
And I see her. I went, Leeann, Hell, wait, you're
with w DRB. I thought you were a cop, because
she was, because she was a police officer, right, she
was a police officer over years out. And so her
face starts to turn around. I went, len, are you
no longer with l MPD. What do you do? How
(06:14):
wouldn't you start work for w r B. She was,
she was undercover.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Of course, she was big dumb animals.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
She was undercover. And what they were doing is they
would see somebody with activity, you know, and she would
walk over and go, hey, I'm a w a B.
Can we uh can can we interview you? And they
would get they would say okay. They would interview them
and they go, we need for legal legal reasons you're name,
and they would give them to her.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
By the way, I didn't know she was undercovered, John, John.
The problem is I've seen in a thousand times.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
So yeah, I'm just as naive. I would have done
the same thing as Dwight. No, I thought you're ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Let's tell you were a cop.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Uh it doesn't top the trip where Oh.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
No, you can't tell. Oh I'm not gonna you can't
tell that story, right, all right?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
So so n T I again, thank you, JCPS, thank you,
thank you. Because I might have been late to work today.
I got plenty of time. But it is crazy. If
you work anywhere near downtown or near the river, or
any part that has a little trouble tour towards the rival,
then it's difficult to get to work. I had to
(07:25):
go frank I usually go Brownsboro, and I'm going Frankfurt Avenue.
I'm on stilts. I was on Stilts Avenue today and
I've never been.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I'm on Stilts Avenue. That's how I got to work.
So just be prepared and all this stuff. It should
be getting better. It is going to peak at thirty
seven feet and that's tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
So okay, Pete's on Wednesday. How long does it take
to received?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I don't know this great question. The sun helped out
a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I cut the grass yesterday it was too long.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I had to go back was screwed up, so I couldn't. Yeah,
but I mean it's starting to feel better. Yeah, but
I still might go ahead and say, I don't know, honey,
you might need to get out there, because I'm like.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
You gotta tell Susan to get out there.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I'm looking at the grass.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
You don't want it to get bad.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
No, it's gonna be one. It's already. It's a point
where it's gonna be choking the lawn more.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Oh no, that's why I did it. I said, I'm
getting out there doing it now. But because the sun

in these hills and he's blood thursty and he wants
revenge what he always good for me. Know, he said,
(12:38):
I'm pretty scary talking about the great Chief falling Rocks.
I said, that's his name. You have Chief falling Rocks.
And he kept on telling me this gory story is
about Chief Falling Rocks. And then on the side of
the interstate, I saw science and said, watch out for
falling rocks. I'm like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, Dad,
is that And He goes that we're in his territory. Now,
(13:00):

they grow up, right.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
A good joke of electricity? You kidding me?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Mane? Somebody.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
There was a little patch of woods nearing my neighborhood
and the oldest, older kids told me that a witch
lived in there, and if you get in even near it,
these long hands will come out and statue. Guess what
I did the entire time I walked home from school,
I walked two blocks around away from the patch of woods.
Why because the damn witch lives in there. You're right,
(13:58):
Come on, a healthy Joseph is healthy?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
All right?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Map security, you gotta have security system, do not. O'm
go to order a secure system off Amazon and'll put
it on myself.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Not a good idea.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I tell this story all the time. We got broken
into two weeks after we moved in, and I asked
the cop. I was like, how many is this happened?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
A lot?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
He goes, I tell you truth, this is the first
one I can even remember ever happening. Flash forward fifteen
years later. One every week was one every week. The
world's changed. The thieves are brave.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
It's that darn rock music.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
It is a darn rock music. The heroin addicts. You
got all these drug addicts. They want to get in
there and get your TV and they want to get out.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
And the number of while you're there break ins, because
that used to be the small one. It was gonna
be like, well, home invasions just don't happen. Well guess
what that's changed. You need a security system. Go with
maps like you're reading a map m aps.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Go with maps.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Residential dot com they're gonna throw in an Alexa. That
lady in there in your house, They're gonna throw that

quicker with the cops and ems and fire and all that.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
It's even quicker.

interesting life, including his dad that ripped him off, spend
all his money in a restart, basically start over, and
then people asked him that People say, oh, it was
difficult to work with, was he? That's what they say

Speaker 2 (17:58):

Every Val Kilmer so Val Kilmer, I said that the
throat involves everything breathing, talking, eating, drinking.

And that's what you do.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I call it the car wash, the Vision First car wash.
Go to Vision firstiicare dot com. We were there last
year and there was a six month old getting glasses.

really framed your face.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
They were out, they were out very they were out
of Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Vision Firstcare dot Com back after this on news radio
eight forty WHA News radio eight forty whas Tony and
Dwight Show brought by the Kentucky Office Highway Safety. That
music means it's Marty Book and Earl Books carriage forward.
As the college basketball season wraps up last night with
the national championship and the Florida Gators are the national
(21:46):
champs for twenty twenty five, Marty Book, your thoughts on that.
I know you're very happy about it.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
It was a bad Have you ever watched a bad
good game?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yes, plenty plenty it was.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
It was a bad good game that was for basketball.
It's either one of those teams that played in the tournament. Yeah,
I mean, it's just it's not well played. But it
was exciting, you know, and it comes down to the end.
My number one big is I told you privately, was
the under because it happens every year, would they they
when you get through the NCAA tournament, you are dogged
(22:25):
out by the time you get to the end and
you lose the legs and you notice it. I mean
at that first the shooting in that first ten to
fifteen minutes was atrocious, you know, and that's it happens
that way every year.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I kind of saw that in the first There were
plenty of NCAA Basketball tournament games that where that was happening,
where you were like, the score is ten to twelve
with five to go in the first half.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
You know, like what is going on?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
People are tight, they're they're they're they're not loose, They're
just they know if they lose, they go home. And
they're on the biggest stage. And you know that's the
problem with the ruining the regular season. The regular season
nobody wants so they're playing to half empties Arenas and
the ratings are like point two point zero two, so
they know no one's watching regular season college basketball. This
(23:11):
is the stage. So yeah, they get tied a little bit.
But I know you were cheering for Kelvin Sampson. You're
the IU guy. He coached at IU. They are connected
forever with this stupid texting scandal, and I know you
were cheering for him, for him to have some sort
of redemption. Your thoughts on Kelvin Sampson.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Well, I had two rooting interest in this thing, which
was Bruce Pearl with Auburn, Kelvin Sampson with Houston, and
the luck of Martin Brook took up both down Hopefully
they don't find out that I was involved in this.
But you know, Sampson's made of the resurrection from something
that possibly was not that you know, wasn't that deadly
(23:53):
or whatever. You know, it's one of those things that
he did wrong because they told him what he couldn't do.
But you do you remember the cell phones first, Cane
and you would get the actual itemize bill, like your
text and stuff like that, and you look at it
and you go, there's no way. Yeah, I know, because
(24:15):
you just don't.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yes, you just don't realize how many text times you
were texting.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
It's right, and it's it's I don't think that he
intentionally did what he did, but you know that's that's
what the rules were.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
And hang on, hang on you maybe you just hang on.
You just made me remember those printed out? Can you
imagine a company doing that now, printing out all of
your text message times and new you text?
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Right?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
That was crazy?
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Well, you know people boys and girls get get busted
enough these days. Can you imagine in the male you
know what I'm not, Uh, there's a technology. This is
kind of a which but technology talk with you. Uh.
One of my friend of mine was calling his booky.
You know when when he first start hooking phones up
(25:09):
to your vehicle, you know when you can with the
sink or whatever. Yeah, he is driving, he's driving behind
his wife. He's driving his vehicle. He's in the car
behind Yeah, and he's bet with his book with his bookie,
and she's listening. These things came alone way.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
They go a long way.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
All right, let's get all right, let's get back. So
season's over.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I you obviously had a disappointing year because they fired
their coach or I'm sorry he left.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
He voluntarily said I'm out. I guess uh.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Louisville had a pretty good year. Didn't end the way
they wanted to, but people were happy. Kentucky same story,
ended wrong, but had a great year of very excitement.
All new coaches. Who is I you look, No, we've
we've fired somebody. We've already got somebody.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, the DeBras or yeah, yeah, okay, the.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
West the West Virginia Guide. And here's the thing right now,
I think we're up to three players, so we can
get too mobile. We can put it to put the
line up out there. Everybody left, everybody left there. There's
I think there's talk that good. He is coming back
and I know he's bringing his son with him who's
a sharpshooter. And there's a kid from Northwestern, or there's
(26:24):
somebody that's that's a Big ten player that's coming to us. Well, uh,
we lost some guys to the Big ten. Uh any
think of his name is going to Ohio State. But
I mean this portal man, you know were we talk
about it all the time. You know. I heard Seth
Greenberg say something the other day and it makes sense
(26:46):
to me because you know, when a coach, you know,
people say coach can leave any time. He can, But
what what does the coach have? He has a buy out?
And if we're going to let these kids do that
sort of contract, yeah, to make it so there to
buy yeah, you know what it makes makes some sen.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yeah yeah, you know yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Well on the other side of that, ESPN comes out
with their too early top twenty five and has and
has Purdue, has Purdue it too, and Louisville as number three,
way too early top twenty five. And people are like
because they they he went out and landed three of
(27:29):
the top fifteen portal guys in the country.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
That's insane. That's insane.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Well, you know, I was looking at the way too early.
I wanted to win men's basketball for next year. Duke
was favored, Kentucky was three or four, and Louisville was
in the top tens.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Which one.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Oh yeah for the for the bookies, Yeah for the bookies.
Yeah yeah, yeah, no, they're both back. That's all we want.
I mean, that's all we want. You're looking at Houston
and that, Yeah, that's it. That's we just want relevancy,
that you're gonna play some good games and all that.
You don't have to be perfect and get in the
tournament and make some noise.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
That's all we want. That's all we want. It's too
hard to win. It's too hard to win the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
It takes so much from the joy of the tournament
when your team's not in it. I know. And that's
even I.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Had no interest last night. I had no interest last night.
I just didn't. I was just like, I'm out.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Well that was me the whole tournament. I mean, I
tuned in because that's what I do. I watched sports,
but as far as it being men puffed up and
making the schedules, I got to be here at a
certain time or whatever. Nah, I mean, it's just it.
If it hit hit my schedule, it hit my schedule.
If it didn't, it didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Well, what happens now is literally the game's over. We
will turn to the Jeff Brahms and and you've got
you two. You got year two of you two. You
got year two of that crazy ass damn coach. You
got it IU football. That had the best year maybe
in the history of the damn program. And it was
(29:06):
just crazy. And he's year two. He's got to do
it again. I'm ready. I'm ready to start talking football.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I really am.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
You know this weather today is football season is still
going on. Jesus, I know it.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yea, yes, it is, all right, So I am ready
for yeah, ready, all right, here's the deal. You've got
a lot of great trucks on a lot.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I'd like to talk about the Escape because the Escape
is a four door mid size suv that is thirty ish.
It's thirty around thirty thousand in below, which is unheard
of for a new car. The average price of a
new car, I think is now at fifty one thousand
or something. So I think the best buy I've known
so many people that have an Escape and it's running
(29:53):
with two hundred and fifty thousand miles on it. I
mean they're great vehicles. Ford makes a great car. Talk
about the escape and the deals that you got for
the escapes, and of course they have one fifty.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
You know, we just signed up for another to pick
up another. Plug in hybrid today, I don't know people
have familiarized themselves where they plug in hybrid. Okay, what
that is the combination of gas and you can add
a little extra just when you go to bed and
I plug plugging it in your wall. You don't even
have special equipment or anything like that. It picks you
up like an extra eighty miles. Okay, the matter's on
(30:26):
a trip. Yeah, and you've got a gas gauge, you know.
So it's it's a little bit of the beach. I
love the fact that it's made right here in Louisville. Uh,
what's thing I don't have? That's that's PAHTV plug in
electric vehicle.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yeah, but what's the name of the vehicle.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
It's escape?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Oh Escape? Oh yeah, I missed that part that escaped me.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
Yeah, whatever, I got it. I got it.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
You didn't laugh at it.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
I had to sneeze at it. Uh, this is it's
just a then you can get the regular, you can
get a full hybrid, you can get full gas or whatever.
It's just something I find interesting because it just gives
you a little bit extra and it doesn't cost anything. Yeah,
it gives you a little bit of distance and stuff
like that. You know. I want to touch on this, Tony,
because I got a lot of phone calls on this.
(31:17):
As many people know around here, Ford has went to
employee pricing for everybody. I know, that's a plan pricing
for everybody. Now. I think it's runned a couple of
people wrong in the UAW and we've received some phone
calls and things like that, And I would just like
to say, guys, think of it this way. If we're
selling cars, it's helping you. You know it's yes, it's
(31:39):
a benefit that you have right now. But if your
company needs to start moving some product, it's going to
help you. It's going to help you in your job.
So look at it as a positive. Please do it
for me because it is. I mean, it's a good
thing for your dealers or your local community. You know,
we're all right here, We're all together. We also for
(32:00):
each other. I would love the fact there's two plants
you know, right here and will Well and that's why
there's so many forward dealers than if you look at
it that way. But if we're selling cars forward more
company employees, you're building cars.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Yeah, it's it will that tells me it's a it's
a great deal. If they're upset about it a little bit,
which is crazy to me, I'm not sure. Uh, but yeah,
if you're moving cars off the lot, that means you've
got to make something to put them back on there.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So that's the deal.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, so let's get it. It's it's uh, employee pricing.
You're gonna get the deals that Marty gets. You're gonna
get the deal that the guys that work at Ford get.
And that's no bs, that's actual.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Fact, yep, one hundred percent factors, nothing hidden to it.
And if there's rebates on it and it comes off
of that, if there's interest rates, you get the interest rates.
You get every benefit. If you don't lose anything by
having employee pricing, you don't lose rebate or anything like that.
You pick all that stuff up.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
