Speaker 1 (00:00):
Something that never gets old broadcasting from where we are
now at four Street Live is we have a gigantic
window where we are, and I'm looking out over four
Street Live now, but the Naturalization Office is right to
the left of ours. What doesn't get old is watching
these families that just get to be US citizens. As
(00:22):
they walk past our window, they look a little nervous,
and then when they come back through and their joy.
So we've been here a couple of years. I got
to tell you is doesn't get old.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It's cool.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It's also a very strange office to have on Fourth Street.
I feel like it's just weird.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
But I'm glad they're there because it was a reminder
of how folks that do it the right way, and
they're in there doing it. And here's the sad part
about us. They could all outdo us on any test
about America Amen, the three branches of government and all that.
We just be like, uh, what we take it for granted?
(01:03):
Sometimes I think, all right, So right now, Americans believe
about half of what they read online, and I think
that's high.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's been going that way for a while.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I now don't believe anything that I read until I
try to dive into it. If I'm interested in it,
I'll search it, but then I'm not sure what I'm
searching is is accurate at the same time. Right, So
everyone has some skepticism on what you know, what's on
the Internet, and I think they're right. I think most
(01:39):
of it is false or skewed to their side. Right,
So you just don't know. And now with AI, because
I see ads on Facebook and there's Tom Cruise talking
about a pill to take and I'm like, he's not
doing that ad and it looks so real.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You're like, this is crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
They have passed some federal laws they just tackled where
they're taking stars and people different people and then putting
them in sexual things. And now it's going to be
a felony, which is great because these people had no recourse.
I guess there are companies that you can hire to
scrub the Internet from.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Your stuff, right, I would think. So, I have no
idea how much that is. But you there's no recourse
for people that people put that stuff out there because
it's out the Internet. There is no sheriff on the Internet.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
And whether it's sexual or not. I feel like if
you don't have the permission of said star to use
you know, their name, image and likeness as we're using
the college sports realm around here.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Right.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
If you don't have their permission to do that, I
feel like you can get in trouble in all sorts.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Of ways, get sued potentially and right, but who's how
does that happen? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Again, if it gets in the wrong hands, I mean,
you never know who it might fall into. But it's
still it's super weird. There's a we were running a
rate I believe on one of the stations a couple
of years ago that was using a fake I think
it was a fake Nick Saban voice. And that's just
one example. I know, it's not something totally different. It
sounds real, yeah, but it's just if you can't get
(03:14):
the real Nick Saban, just use somebody else, don't use
ai Nick Saban.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
They make some money off it, then they shut down
and you go do something else. It's like those call
centers in India that have three hundred people calling and
they know that one in one thousand calls results in
a scam money, right, but it's worth it to them,
that's the crazy thing. They're like, yeah, we know, and
they and they say it because they're in India. We
(03:38):
can't do anything about it. But that's who your grandma
gets hit. You get hit all the time, right. But
they have one, they have a thou They have three
hundred people in the room and they know that the
odds are one in a thousand. But that one gets
some ten grand, get some twenty grand, get some third,
you know, thirty grand. And now ai I had a guy,
a friend of mine I coached with and grew up with,
and he he had thirty thousand dollars taken out of
(03:59):
his account because they scammed it to where his cell
phone number was forwarded to them. Their home number was
forwarded to them, so when the bank calls to confirm,
they answer the phone. The only reason they got called
(04:20):
was because somebody at the back. This is when that's
why people, you know, we have fewer people in the
bank now that know you. It's a kiosk now. But
the person knew my friend Dave, and they called Dave.
I guess it is wherever work did dude? I think
this is did you take out? Did you take thirty
three grand out? No?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I didn't gone. Thirty grand's gone? It is crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I think he ended up talking to the scammers and
they were laughing at him. Aha, got your money, dude,
come get us, And they're somewhere in the world. But
the Internet. To get back to the Internet. I don't
trust anything any headline, but especially political or any anybody
endorsing things because I know that's not them, but.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
It looks so real.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
And before it was just a voice they copy copied,
and now it is video, which is scary. And I think,
remember I've been the one for ten years, going back
to sports radio, I said the Internet. I think social
media has an end date. I think people will finally
get sick of the way Twitter makes me want to
(05:30):
hate people. Okay, Twitter makes me and I don't want
to hate people, but it's skewed to show you these things.
Go and look with these people did and it's and
it is and you you see two or three videos
and you your brain starts to go, yeah, yeah, I
should hate those people. I don't real I rarely get
on Twitter anymore. I don't even post much. I tried
(05:50):
to this past sports season, but I dropped. It's just
not worth it anymore, and who cares, you know, it's
it's again. I don't want to hate people. Facebook is
not as bad because they don't have a lot of
those videos like the Wild West is on Twitter, bro,
there are no stop gaps, like everybody loves that that
(06:15):
that Elon bought out and took all of the back
stops away. But in the meantime they are there's groups
that do this stuff that make you hate people. I
don't want to hate people, dude, so I don't go
to Twitter as much, so I'm not seeing your I
might every once in a while get a story. Twitter
used to be so great, especially in this industry, because
(06:36):
you know, someone would write an article and you'd hit
on it and it would go to Yahoo or whatever,
and it was a great article, legitimate article, and then
you can hit the button, they can hit the screen
again and it would you know, go down and you're like, oh, I.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Got the article.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I never would have read that article Yahoo if he
didn't tweet it or she didn't tweet it. And now
that's none of that is on there. None of that
is on there. And then local TV channels, I will
be some of you do it right for local stories,
but some of you, you hit it, you go, you
(07:07):
have to sit through three and then they take you
to another thing, and how many times can you not
get to the video? They make it so difficult to
get to the story. I don't mind a ten second,
fifteen second commercial, don't mind it. I'll pay I'll pay
my time for the article, but you can't get to it.
There are a couple of TV channels that do it
right where you just hit it and the story comes up.
(07:30):
But Twitter is awful in the Internet. I got to
tell you it's awful. It's awful, and people don't think
that's parlor issue with America today.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
You're crazy. You're crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
The algorithm has your brain skewed, and they want you
to hate another sect of people in America. That's their
entire point to keep everybody in charge and make you
hate people. And I've always said, you put one hundred black,
white Latin in a room, guess what happens.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Nothing. We have lunch.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
We talked about family, We talked about how good the
sandwich is. Sports and sports is a great Sports is
a great community where it brings us together. How many
times have you hugged complete strangers after a touchdown or
a three point basket on a comeback at the YOUM Center?
(08:28):
Or at Reperina. You don't even know these people, but
it brings everybody together. But the Internet, I just think
there is. For a while, it was great because when
there was a disaster somewhere, here's how you help, and
you hit it and you donate ten bucks and it
was a great thing. Or there was things going on
in Iran and these people were being persecuted and you
could help with their air, you know, help those people
(08:49):
get some word out on their struggles. And then now
that's all gone, that's all gone. Go to Twitter right now.
And then some people will say, well, get your algorithm.
You're the brain's broken, not Twitter.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
No, I don't think so partially true.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
There is way around it, though, mister Vannetti, I think
I've told you about this once before. On Twitter, you
can separate your timeline. You don't have to use the
algorithmic timeline. You can use the following timeline. Should be
in your setting somewhere.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh you mean at the top, or I says for you.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah, I guess it's right. Yeah, I'm looking at the
desktop version right now. It's at the very top before
you is the timeline they give you that where they
make you want to hate everybody they are talking about,
and if you hit following, it's literally a chronological timeline
from latest to oldest stuff, so you don't have to
see all the nonsense that you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That's the happy part of Twitter right now, or.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Maybe happier, maybe not the happiest, but.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Doing that now, do it forever, Never go back. But
then what.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Happens I'm a sick person, that's right, go back to
the for you for.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You know, I go back to the other one. See
what's for you?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
It's like, oh, maybe I want to see videos. And
people are crazy the interaction of people, especially the ones.
Here's the ones that drive me the crazy the most
is the fast food stores or people are throwing napkins
at the workers, or they're throwing their cup at the workers,
(10:17):
the worst of the hot coffee or something.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
You're just like, you're gonna hurt somebody.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
But then they getting to all fight and the people
that work there are fighting the person that was throwing
this stuff, and you're just like, is that really going
on or is it just I mean, I know it's
going that's going on because I'm watching the video, But
how much of that is going on?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And how old. Is that video right?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You're like, is that ten years ago? And you're showing
it now. But that's part of the algorithm. I guess
that wants you to hate certain people, and you're just like, Okay,
by the way, that's cross the people. You are getting
upset at fast food joints. That's crossed the spectrum of people.
That's not exclusive. People lose their minds the drive through.
People that throw food back at the people in the
(10:58):
drive through, or screaming at them because there was pickles
on their sandwich. It's crazy. But I think there is
a finish line for social media. I think people will
end up saying no, because we're so addicted to the
damn thing. You got to turn it over every second.
And it's obviously it's morphed into work. We used to
(11:19):
go to work, go home, be with our families, and
if the phone ring at your house, you were like,
something's wrong. If your boss called you after five, something
was wrong. Now we are answering emails, doing things on
a Sunday morning, Saturday morning, Saturday night. I did ten
commercials yesterday. It's Sunday morning at seven thirty in the morning.
(11:40):
Because now work is twenty four hours and if you
don't get we used to. I know you're not gonna
believe this, but in radio, clients expected you to get
back to them within a couple of days, within a
couple of days. Now it's a couple of minutes. Why
haven't you answered my email this problem? It's a couple
(12:04):
of minutes. You're like, I just got it. I'm trying
to figure out the problem for you, and I'm going
to fix it for you. But it's crazy, and I
think that's why people are nuts also about their jobs,
because they're never off the clock and employers haven't followed
up with a support group of that.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Right, Even on vacation, you take your laptop and you
work on.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Vacation drives me crazy. I'm old school, so I always
drive the car on a road trip. Jackie is on
her laptop and her ear thing in and making calls.
She's on vacation, right, But you can't because the client's like,
I got to have this fix now, And that's their business.
(12:52):
That's their priorities too, is their business and their livelihood.
But it's crazy. When do you not take your laptop
with you? Two were on vacation because you know something's
gonna happen and you're gonna be like, I'm gonna need it.
I'm gonna have to answer this and you can't help
but pop it up. We should be able to. I
(13:13):
had we had a boss, Josh a couple of years ago.
He was really good at saying, here's the person in charge.
I am not answering. He's got four kids, but he's like,
I'm not answering. He was the only one in my
career that does that, that did that, and it worked though,
and he will He was right tell everybody not answering.
(13:34):
But I'm sitting at graduations answering text messages and emails
when I should be there at Purdue with my son
and family. But that's what we do. But social media,
you say, Vannetti's always said it was an ind date.
Will you watch people will put it down. People get
tired of Facebook every day they they pause it or
(13:54):
don't go. You lose people on Twitter. I guarantee the
numbers of Twitter. Whatever they say, it's not accurate. I
guarantee there are less people visiting Twitter than you think,
and the impact is so much less than it was
when I used to tweet something. It was crazy, especially
because sports are nuts, but they people would go crazy.
(14:15):
Now it's just kind of like it's another part of
the little timeline. It just keeps scrolling up. And then
I'm one of those idiots that has that little ear piece,
the one ear piece on the right side. I had
it yesterday. People are like, what are you listening to?
And I was like, my text message is in case
something happens, we're all nuts.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
All right, we're gonna take a short break.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I want to tell you about BK Plumbing Supply changed
my life. You're like, I did a plumber changed my life? Well,
I will tell you. I got a Toto toilet. The
folks overseas have had it figured out for a long time.
We are just figuring this out. I gotta tell that
(15:00):
means the seat is heated. It's a biday. It has
two different streams. You can control the stream. You could
control the temperature of the water of the stream.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You can.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And then afterwards you hit a little button and it's
got a little I call it a hair dryer. It's
got a it's got a blow dryer underneath air to
dry your whoop a boo. So BK Plumbingsupply dot Com.
And of course the guy that owns it. His name
is John. He sells toilets. He sells a lot of stuff.
(15:31):
But this toilet changed. I cannot get used to it now.
When you walk up to it, the seat goes like
Star Trek. The light comes on inside and then they
sprints the water and blue lights that sanitizes the toilet.
Before you go to the bathroom, the light comes on
on the outside, so if you go in in the
middle of the night, it gives you just enough light
(15:53):
so you can see where you're walking instead of having
a night light in your bathroom and you're bumping around.
This thing is unbelievable. Now, BK Plubbing Supply will They
will get the because you have to have electric go
to it. They'll have the electrician and the plumber show
up on the same day and get it done. They'll
coordinate everything. It's worth every dime you spend on this thing.
(16:16):
It is next level because, frankly, for men, it's the
only time you have some peace. It's in the bathroom
and then somebody's yelling, where's dad. BK Plubbing Supply. Ask
for John, the owner. He'll take care of you and
he'll schedule it all you say, I want the Venetti Toto.
(16:39):
All right, it's a toilet and it'll change your life.
BK Plumbing Supply dot Com. Back after this news Radio
eight forty w a chance, we're gonna talk to Frank
here in a little bit. Frank, I'm sorry, mister Woodwalski. Paul,
how are you fine? Paul is a former prosecutor retired?
(17:00):
Now how many years?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
How many years retired? How many years? No prosecutor? About
forty eight forty eight years?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Can't be that would make you or to talk to
him because the anniversary of the bus crash, he handled
that as a prosecutor. And we'll talk to him at
the top of the hour, but we'll talk about some
other stuff until we get there, Paul, So just hang
out and we'll do that. I was not a I'm
gonna ask. I'm gonna think John, you were probably a
(17:29):
Malcolm in the Middle guy, were you? I never watched
the show.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I never watched a ton of it, but it was
definitely my era of television.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Why was it so popular? And it made Brian Cranston.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
A star until he got into Now he's obviously what
was the show he was in The Breaking Bad, which
some people say.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Is the best TV series ever.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
But they are going to do a film, Malcolm in
the Middle film really, And I'm like, really, all these
years later, so.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
They they're excited about that. I was not.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I didn't understand the popular Again, I didn't watch it,
so I can't. I can't really discuss why it's popular
or not. But it was funny, right, I mean it was,
but it was a down and out family, right, poor
family or middle class family or whatever.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, So I'm looking at this right now, So I
don't know if it's a film as much as it
is a rebooted mini series that's going to come out
Scheduled to premiere on Disney Plus December twenty twenty five,
will have four episodes along the time. Okay, okay, seems
better than a movie, I would imagine, But who knows?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Are they bringing.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Frankie Munyaz is in the cast and Christian's back, Cranston
is back.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Oh my lord, that is crazy. Okay, I'm reading it now.
The new series picks up where hal and Lewis Louis
whatever planwis Lewis Lewis Plan a celebration commemorating their fortieth anniversary. Well,
I hope it's good. I hope they do I hope
they do it. Well, okay, all right, So this is
(19:02):
why this next story, this is why we're all crazy,
because we can't just live our lives. They plant so
they have these stories and they plant a little seed
in the back of your brain to where you overthink
what you do in simple acts during the day.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's what we do. I mean they used to do
it with food.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
They say eggs were bad for twenty years and then
said eggs are actually in moderation, very healthy for you.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Remember the not egg eggs.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
People would pour this yellow goo into their pans and
they would eat He's get a milk cartons and a
milk carton. People would eat that because their doctor said
your letter A levels too high and it's the egg's
vault and now no, no, eggs are no and.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
People eat that. I ate that. I think for a
little while.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
So this one dermatologists has said you need to do
when you're showering for maximum cleanliness, you need to do
this this order of things. And I don't want to
get too personal with you, John, and I don't want
to get too personal here.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
But what do you do first?
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I always do my hair first.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, that's what they're telling you.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Step one, wash your hair, okay, before you wash your body,
all right, right here you go. Washing your hair gives
the shampoo and conditioner more time to work their magic.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I will say this.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I also am very vain and weird, so I do
the shaving, the chess shaving chest and arms right, and
I don't like any stubbles, so I'm on it almost
all the time. I do the shampoo, then the conditioner
to let it condition. Paul Rodgewalski doesn't have to worry
about that because you have no hair, but not.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Much of a conditioner. Guy myself, I have very little hair.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You gotta do the you got well, yeah, you you've
shaved it down to do you look like your first
day at Paras Island.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Here's the thing. I like to shave it down because
I like to shave it down because it takes forever
to grow back out. I hate getting it cut right, Okay,
stay short all the time.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, mine grows like crazy. It just grows fast. So yeah,
I let the conditioners soak in right. Step two is
lather your body with soap. So they want you to
do that. But then they come right, but the dermatologist,
this is dermatologist is saying this, But then they tell
you over washing can strip your skin's natural barrier.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
They also don't want you to wash your hair every day, right,
isn't that something correct?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Before some of these stars the because there's some country
music stars and movie stars that'll tell you. They're like,
how do you have your hair so shiny and awesome?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Do you? You know?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And they're like, I wash it once a week. I
don't wash it or maybe every other week. Women don't
wash their hair every day.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
No, my wife doesn't.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
No, no, but I've been conditioned that I have to
wash my hair for some reason every single time I
step in it. But here's what they say. When you
get to the lathering the soap thing, don't do that
every day or use very gentle cleanser because you have
to have that layer of protection. Your skin creates a
natural barrier to stuff, and you don't want to dry
(22:11):
out your skin.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
That's the worst thing you can do. So then shave.
They have already skipped that.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I do wash the hair conditioner and then shave because
I have to shave a little bit more because I'm
weird and don't take too long. What's the average time
that you're actually in the shower.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I don't know if this is the average time, but
I think I've read something before that says you should
only be in the shower for seven and a half minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I think that's a pretty good number.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
That's not me though.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I don't understand hard water. I don't understand that concept.
And I've moved into houses where there were bags of
salt and I was like, well, where do you put that?
I don't even know where you would put that in
your water. But I'm pretty sure we have hard water,
which I don't really understand. I'll have to ask BK
(23:00):
Plumbing Supply what that means. But I don't know what
hard water means. I think it's I think it dries
your skin.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
It makes you I don't think we have hard water
in our house, but I've been in cities or towns
that supposedly the shower using is hard water. It makes
you feel a little different when you come out. I
don't know how to explain what it is, but I
think you're right about kind of the direction you're heading.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
With that.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Ugh.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Now my family, my mother is from Key West, so
she grew up on an island and they've been there.
They were so there so long that they were there
before they actually had bridges connecting the keys. You had
to take a boat. If you were going to go
shop in Miami, you took a boat to Miami.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
My grandfather climbed poles, he would so in the worst
storms he would be out there trying to get these
wires back up. But they had one pipe. It wasn't
a foot lawn wide, and that pipe of water fed
the keys, so when you turned on the water for
a shower, there was no it trickled out.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Is a little weird.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
You get used to having that blast of water when
you live in little of Kentucky. Down in places like
Key West and all that, it's not the way. All right,
there's one pipe. Now they've got a bigger one. But
when I was a kid, I'd be like, what is
going on now? I can't imagine what kind of water
that is or what they were providing for us in
(24:25):
Key West, which by the way, is one of my
favorite places on the planet. It's changed a lot because
when my family lived there. It was a lot of locals.
Now you can't really afford to buy a house. They
bought my grandparents' house, eight bedroom house on the corner
over by the cemetery, and they tore down when I
was actually got to see it where it was all
(24:45):
torn down, and then they rebuilt it and it's a
six million dollar house. It's crazy. So a lot of
if they've priced out a lot of people on the keys.
I don't even know how they find people to work
those bars in restaurants.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Alright, we're going to take a short break.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
We're gonna come back and talk to Paul Ridgewewski's forim prosecutor.
He worked the bus crash that had.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
An anniversary on Friday.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
We'll talk about that, and then we'll talk a little
football too, because he's a high school ref. We'll talk
about the new season coming up, and we'll probably ask
for people that are interested in becoming a high school
football ref or just a ref, and we'll talk how
you can sign up. They have clinics and places you
can go and find out more about it. Lots of pasta,
lots apasta, Louisville dot com. Everyone's back. John will be
(25:32):
back for a couple of days before he ships out
to Charleston. But Maggie's back. She used to work.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
There and she loves lots of pasta.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
The whole family does. So go check out, go to
the grocery. Look, I go to Kroger, but I end
up at Lots of Pasta because the food is just clean.
It's better. Everyone loves the food. If you want catering
for a lot of these graduations and parties this spring,
then you want to use lots of pasta for sure.
And then of course check out the deli. They bake
their own meats, they bake the breads, they import cheeses
from two hundredries. It's crazy the options you have at
(26:02):
Lots of Pasta. It's just something different. And check out
the coffee shop. It is a cafe with fast Wi Fi,
big screen TV. And watch the news or whatever, and
work a little bit. And if it's a nice day,
you can be outside at the cafe where thirty seven
seventeen Lexington Road in the heart of Saint Matthews. Back
after this, our news radio eight forty waas
Something that never gets old broadcasting from where we are
now at four Street Live is we have a gigantic
window where we are, and I'm looking out over four
Street Live now, but the Naturalization Office is right to
the left of ours. What doesn't get old is watching
these families that just get to be US citizens. As
(00:22):
they walk past our window, they look a little nervous,
and then when they come back through and their joy.
So we've been here a couple of years. I got
to tell you is doesn't get old.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It's cool.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It's also a very strange office to have on Fourth Street.
I feel like it's just weird.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
But I'm glad they're there because it was a reminder
of how folks that do it the right way, and
they're in there doing it. And here's the sad part
about us. They could all outdo us on any test
about America Amen, the three branches of government and all that.
We just be like, uh, what we take it for granted?
(01:03):
Sometimes I think, all right, So right now, Americans believe
about half of what they read online, and I think
that's high.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's been going that way for a while.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I now don't believe anything that I read until I
try to dive into it. If I'm interested in it,
I'll search it, but then I'm not sure what I'm
searching is is accurate at the same time. Right, So
everyone has some skepticism on what you know, what's on
the Internet, and I think they're right. I think most
(01:39):
of it is false or skewed to their side. Right,
So you just don't know. And now with AI, because
I see ads on Facebook and there's Tom Cruise talking
about a pill to take and I'm like, he's not
doing that ad and it looks so real.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You're like, this is crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
They have passed some federal laws they just tackled where
they're taking stars and people different people and then putting
them in sexual things. And now it's going to be
a felony, which is great because these people had no recourse.
I guess there are companies that you can hire to
scrub the Internet from.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Your stuff, right, I would think. So, I have no
idea how much that is. But you there's no recourse
for people that people put that stuff out there because
it's out the Internet. There is no sheriff on the Internet.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
And whether it's sexual or not. I feel like if
you don't have the permission of said star to use
you know, their name, image and likeness as we're using
the college sports realm around here.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Right.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
If you don't have their permission to do that, I
feel like you can get in trouble in all sorts.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Of ways, get sued potentially and right, but who's how
does that happen? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Again, if it gets in the wrong hands, I mean,
you never know who it might fall into. But it's
still it's super weird. There's a we were running a
rate I believe on one of the stations a couple
of years ago that was using a fake I think
it was a fake Nick Saban voice. And that's just
one example. I know, it's not something totally different. It
sounds real, yeah, but it's just if you can't get
(03:14):
the real Nick Saban, just use somebody else, don't use
ai Nick Saban.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
They make some money off it, then they shut down
and you go do something else. It's like those call
centers in India that have three hundred people calling and
they know that one in one thousand calls results in
a scam money, right, but it's worth it to them,
that's the crazy thing. They're like, yeah, we know, and
they and they say it because they're in India. We
(03:38):
can't do anything about it. But that's who your grandma
gets hit. You get hit all the time, right. But
they have one, they have a thou They have three
hundred people in the room and they know that the
odds are one in a thousand. But that one gets
some ten grand, get some twenty grand, get some third,
you know, thirty grand. And now ai I had a guy,
a friend of mine I coached with and grew up with,
and he he had thirty thousand dollars taken out of
(03:59):
his account because they scammed it to where his cell
phone number was forwarded to them. Their home number was
forwarded to them, so when the bank calls to confirm,
they answer the phone. The only reason they got called
(04:20):
was because somebody at the back. This is when that's
why people, you know, we have fewer people in the
bank now that know you. It's a kiosk now. But
the person knew my friend Dave, and they called Dave.
I guess it is wherever work did dude? I think
this is did you take out? Did you take thirty
three grand out? No?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I didn't gone. Thirty grand's gone? It is crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I think he ended up talking to the scammers and
they were laughing at him. Aha, got your money, dude,
come get us, And they're somewhere in the world. But
the Internet. To get back to the Internet. I don't
trust anything any headline, but especially political or any anybody
endorsing things because I know that's not them, but.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
It looks so real.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
And before it was just a voice they copy copied,
and now it is video, which is scary. And I think,
remember I've been the one for ten years, going back
to sports radio, I said the Internet. I think social
media has an end date. I think people will finally
get sick of the way Twitter makes me want to
(05:30):
hate people. Okay, Twitter makes me and I don't want
to hate people, but it's skewed to show you these things.
Go and look with these people did and it's and
it is and you you see two or three videos
and you your brain starts to go, yeah, yeah, I
should hate those people. I don't real I rarely get
on Twitter anymore. I don't even post much. I tried
(05:50):
to this past sports season, but I dropped. It's just
not worth it anymore, and who cares, you know, it's
it's again. I don't want to hate people. Facebook is
not as bad because they don't have a lot of
those videos like the Wild West is on Twitter, bro,
there are no stop gaps, like everybody loves that that
(06:15):
that Elon bought out and took all of the back
stops away. But in the meantime they are there's groups
that do this stuff that make you hate people. I
don't want to hate people, dude, so I don't go
to Twitter as much, so I'm not seeing your I
might every once in a while get a story. Twitter
used to be so great, especially in this industry, because
(06:36):
you know, someone would write an article and you'd hit
on it and it would go to Yahoo or whatever,
and it was a great article, legitimate article, and then
you can hit the button, they can hit the screen
again and it would you know, go down and you're like, oh, I.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Got the article.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I never would have read that article Yahoo if he
didn't tweet it or she didn't tweet it. And now
that's none of that is on there. None of that
is on there. And then local TV channels, I will
be some of you do it right for local stories,
but some of you, you hit it, you go, you
(07:07):
have to sit through three and then they take you
to another thing, and how many times can you not
get to the video? They make it so difficult to
get to the story. I don't mind a ten second,
fifteen second commercial, don't mind it. I'll pay I'll pay
my time for the article, but you can't get to it.
There are a couple of TV channels that do it
right where you just hit it and the story comes up.
(07:30):
But Twitter is awful in the Internet. I got to
tell you it's awful. It's awful, and people don't think
that's parlor issue with America today.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
You're crazy. You're crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
The algorithm has your brain skewed, and they want you
to hate another sect of people in America. That's their
entire point to keep everybody in charge and make you
hate people. And I've always said, you put one hundred black,
white Latin in a room, guess what happens.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Nothing. We have lunch.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
We talked about family, We talked about how good the
sandwich is. Sports and sports is a great Sports is
a great community where it brings us together. How many
times have you hugged complete strangers after a touchdown or
a three point basket on a comeback at the YOUM Center?
(08:28):
Or at Reperina. You don't even know these people, but
it brings everybody together. But the Internet, I just think
there is. For a while, it was great because when
there was a disaster somewhere, here's how you help, and
you hit it and you donate ten bucks and it
was a great thing. Or there was things going on
in Iran and these people were being persecuted and you
could help with their air, you know, help those people
(08:49):
get some word out on their struggles. And then now
that's all gone, that's all gone. Go to Twitter right now.
And then some people will say, well, get your algorithm.
You're the brain's broken, not Twitter.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
No, I don't think so partially true.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
There is way around it, though, mister Vannetti, I think
I've told you about this once before. On Twitter, you
can separate your timeline. You don't have to use the
algorithmic timeline. You can use the following timeline. Should be
in your setting somewhere.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh you mean at the top, or I says for you.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah, I guess it's right. Yeah, I'm looking at the
desktop version right now. It's at the very top before
you is the timeline they give you that where they
make you want to hate everybody they are talking about,
and if you hit following, it's literally a chronological timeline
from latest to oldest stuff, so you don't have to
see all the nonsense that you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That's the happy part of Twitter right now, or.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Maybe happier, maybe not the happiest, but.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Doing that now, do it forever, Never go back. But
then what.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Happens I'm a sick person, that's right, go back to
the for you for.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You know, I go back to the other one. See
what's for you?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
It's like, oh, maybe I want to see videos. And
people are crazy the interaction of people, especially the ones.
Here's the ones that drive me the crazy the most
is the fast food stores or people are throwing napkins
at the workers, or they're throwing their cup at the workers,
(10:17):
the worst of the hot coffee or something.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
You're just like, you're gonna hurt somebody.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
But then they getting to all fight and the people
that work there are fighting the person that was throwing
this stuff, and you're just like, is that really going
on or is it just I mean, I know it's
going that's going on because I'm watching the video, But
how much of that is going on?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And how old. Is that video right?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You're like, is that ten years ago? And you're showing
it now. But that's part of the algorithm. I guess
that wants you to hate certain people, and you're just like, Okay,
by the way, that's cross the people. You are getting
upset at fast food joints. That's crossed the spectrum of people.
That's not exclusive. People lose their minds the drive through.
People that throw food back at the people in the
(10:58):
drive through, or screaming at them because there was pickles
on their sandwich. It's crazy. But I think there is
a finish line for social media. I think people will
end up saying no, because we're so addicted to the
damn thing. You got to turn it over every second.
And it's obviously it's morphed into work. We used to
(11:19):
go to work, go home, be with our families, and
if the phone ring at your house, you were like,
something's wrong. If your boss called you after five, something
was wrong. Now we are answering emails, doing things on
a Sunday morning, Saturday morning, Saturday night. I did ten
commercials yesterday. It's Sunday morning at seven thirty in the morning.
(11:40):
Because now work is twenty four hours and if you
don't get we used to. I know you're not gonna
believe this, but in radio, clients expected you to get
back to them within a couple of days, within a
couple of days. Now it's a couple of minutes. Why
haven't you answered my email this problem? It's a couple
(12:04):
of minutes. You're like, I just got it. I'm trying
to figure out the problem for you, and I'm going
to fix it for you. But it's crazy, and I
think that's why people are nuts also about their jobs,
because they're never off the clock and employers haven't followed
up with a support group of that.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Right, Even on vacation, you take your laptop and you
work on.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Vacation drives me crazy. I'm old school, so I always
drive the car on a road trip. Jackie is on
her laptop and her ear thing in and making calls.
She's on vacation, right, But you can't because the client's like,
I got to have this fix now, And that's their business.
(12:52):
That's their priorities too, is their business and their livelihood.
But it's crazy. When do you not take your laptop
with you? Two were on vacation because you know something's
gonna happen and you're gonna be like, I'm gonna need it.
I'm gonna have to answer this and you can't help
but pop it up. We should be able to. I
(13:13):
had we had a boss, Josh a couple of years ago.
He was really good at saying, here's the person in charge.
I am not answering. He's got four kids, but he's like,
I'm not answering. He was the only one in my
career that does that, that did that, and it worked though,
and he will He was right tell everybody not answering.
(13:34):
But I'm sitting at graduations answering text messages and emails
when I should be there at Purdue with my son
and family. But that's what we do. But social media,
you say, Vannetti's always said it was an ind date.
Will you watch people will put it down. People get
tired of Facebook every day they they pause it or
(13:54):
don't go. You lose people on Twitter. I guarantee the
numbers of Twitter. Whatever they say, it's not accurate. I
guarantee there are less people visiting Twitter than you think,
and the impact is so much less than it was
when I used to tweet something. It was crazy, especially
because sports are nuts, but they people would go crazy.
(14:15):
Now it's just kind of like it's another part of
the little timeline. It just keeps scrolling up. And then
I'm one of those idiots that has that little ear piece,
the one ear piece on the right side. I had
it yesterday. People are like, what are you listening to?
And I was like, my text message is in case
something happens, we're all nuts.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
All right, we're gonna take a short break.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I want to tell you about BK Plumbing Supply changed
my life. You're like, I did a plumber changed my life? Well,
I will tell you. I got a Toto toilet. The
folks overseas have had it figured out for a long time.
We are just figuring this out. I gotta tell that
(15:00):
means the seat is heated. It's a biday. It has
two different streams. You can control the stream. You could
control the temperature of the water of the stream.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You can.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And then afterwards you hit a little button and it's
got a little I call it a hair dryer. It's
got a it's got a blow dryer underneath air to
dry your whoop a boo. So BK Plumbingsupply dot Com.
And of course the guy that owns it. His name
is John. He sells toilets. He sells a lot of stuff.
(15:31):
But this toilet changed. I cannot get used to it now.
When you walk up to it, the seat goes like
Star Trek. The light comes on inside and then they
sprints the water and blue lights that sanitizes the toilet.
Before you go to the bathroom, the light comes on
on the outside, so if you go in in the
middle of the night, it gives you just enough light
(15:53):
so you can see where you're walking instead of having
a night light in your bathroom and you're bumping around.
This thing is unbelievable. Now, BK Plubbing Supply will They
will get the because you have to have electric go
to it. They'll have the electrician and the plumber show
up on the same day and get it done. They'll
coordinate everything. It's worth every dime you spend on this thing.
(16:16):
It is next level because, frankly, for men, it's the
only time you have some peace. It's in the bathroom
and then somebody's yelling, where's dad. BK Plubbing Supply. Ask
for John, the owner. He'll take care of you and
he'll schedule it all you say, I want the Venetti Toto.
(16:39):
All right, it's a toilet and it'll change your life.
BK Plumbing Supply dot Com. Back after this news Radio
eight forty w a chance, we're gonna talk to Frank
here in a little bit. Frank, I'm sorry, mister Woodwalski. Paul,
how are you fine? Paul is a former prosecutor retired?
(17:00):
Now how many years?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
How many years retired? How many years? No prosecutor? About
forty eight forty eight years?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Can't be that would make you or to talk to
him because the anniversary of the bus crash, he handled
that as a prosecutor. And we'll talk to him at
the top of the hour, but we'll talk about some
other stuff until we get there, Paul, So just hang
out and we'll do that. I was not a I'm
gonna ask. I'm gonna think John, you were probably a
(17:29):
Malcolm in the Middle guy, were you? I never watched
the show.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I never watched a ton of it, but it was
definitely my era of television.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Why was it so popular? And it made Brian Cranston.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
A star until he got into Now he's obviously what
was the show he was in The Breaking Bad, which
some people say.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Is the best TV series ever.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
But they are going to do a film, Malcolm in
the Middle film really, And I'm like, really, all these
years later, so.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
They they're excited about that. I was not.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I didn't understand the popular Again, I didn't watch it,
so I can't. I can't really discuss why it's popular
or not. But it was funny, right, I mean it was,
but it was a down and out family, right, poor
family or middle class family or whatever.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, So I'm looking at this right now, So I
don't know if it's a film as much as it
is a rebooted mini series that's going to come out
Scheduled to premiere on Disney Plus December twenty twenty five,
will have four episodes along the time. Okay, okay, seems
better than a movie, I would imagine, But who knows?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Are they bringing.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Frankie Munyaz is in the cast and Christian's back, Cranston
is back.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Oh my lord, that is crazy. Okay, I'm reading it now.
The new series picks up where hal and Lewis Louis
whatever planwis Lewis Lewis Plan a celebration commemorating their fortieth anniversary. Well,
I hope it's good. I hope they do I hope
they do it. Well, okay, all right, So this is
(19:02):
why this next story, this is why we're all crazy,
because we can't just live our lives. They plant so
they have these stories and they plant a little seed
in the back of your brain to where you overthink
what you do in simple acts during the day.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's what we do. I mean they used to do
it with food.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
They say eggs were bad for twenty years and then
said eggs are actually in moderation, very healthy for you.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Remember the not egg eggs.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
People would pour this yellow goo into their pans and
they would eat He's get a milk cartons and a
milk carton. People would eat that because their doctor said
your letter A levels too high and it's the egg's
vault and now no, no, eggs are no and.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
People eat that. I ate that. I think for a
little while.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
So this one dermatologists has said you need to do
when you're showering for maximum cleanliness, you need to do
this this order of things. And I don't want to
get too personal with you, John, and I don't want
to get too personal here.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
But what do you do first?
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I always do my hair first.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, that's what they're telling you.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Step one, wash your hair, okay, before you wash your body,
all right, right here you go. Washing your hair gives
the shampoo and conditioner more time to work their magic.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I will say this.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I also am very vain and weird, so I do
the shaving, the chess shaving chest and arms right, and
I don't like any stubbles, so I'm on it almost
all the time. I do the shampoo, then the conditioner
to let it condition. Paul Rodgewalski doesn't have to worry
about that because you have no hair, but not.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Much of a conditioner. Guy myself, I have very little hair.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You gotta do the you got well, yeah, you you've
shaved it down to do you look like your first
day at Paras Island.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Here's the thing. I like to shave it down because
I like to shave it down because it takes forever
to grow back out. I hate getting it cut right, Okay,
stay short all the time.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, mine grows like crazy. It just grows fast. So yeah,
I let the conditioners soak in right. Step two is
lather your body with soap. So they want you to
do that. But then they come right, but the dermatologist,
this is dermatologist is saying this, But then they tell
you over washing can strip your skin's natural barrier.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
They also don't want you to wash your hair every day, right,
isn't that something correct?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Before some of these stars the because there's some country
music stars and movie stars that'll tell you. They're like,
how do you have your hair so shiny and awesome?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Do you? You know?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And they're like, I wash it once a week. I
don't wash it or maybe every other week. Women don't
wash their hair every day.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
No, my wife doesn't.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
No, no, but I've been conditioned that I have to
wash my hair for some reason every single time I
step in it. But here's what they say. When you
get to the lathering the soap thing, don't do that
every day or use very gentle cleanser because you have
to have that layer of protection. Your skin creates a
natural barrier to stuff, and you don't want to dry
(22:11):
out your skin.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
That's the worst thing you can do. So then shave.
They have already skipped that.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I do wash the hair conditioner and then shave because
I have to shave a little bit more because I'm
weird and don't take too long. What's the average time
that you're actually in the shower.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I don't know if this is the average time, but
I think I've read something before that says you should
only be in the shower for seven and a half minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I think that's a pretty good number.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
That's not me though.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I don't understand hard water. I don't understand that concept.
And I've moved into houses where there were bags of
salt and I was like, well, where do you put that?
I don't even know where you would put that in
your water. But I'm pretty sure we have hard water,
which I don't really understand. I'll have to ask BK
(23:00):
Plumbing Supply what that means. But I don't know what
hard water means. I think it's I think it dries
your skin.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
It makes you I don't think we have hard water
in our house, but I've been in cities or towns
that supposedly the shower using is hard water. It makes
you feel a little different when you come out. I
don't know how to explain what it is, but I
think you're right about kind of the direction you're heading.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
With that.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Ugh.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Now my family, my mother is from Key West, so
she grew up on an island and they've been there.
They were so there so long that they were there
before they actually had bridges connecting the keys. You had
to take a boat. If you were going to go
shop in Miami, you took a boat to Miami.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
My grandfather climbed poles, he would so in the worst
storms he would be out there trying to get these
wires back up. But they had one pipe. It wasn't
a foot lawn wide, and that pipe of water fed
the keys, so when you turned on the water for
a shower, there was no it trickled out.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Is a little weird.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
You get used to having that blast of water when
you live in little of Kentucky. Down in places like
Key West and all that, it's not the way. All right,
there's one pipe. Now they've got a bigger one. But
when I was a kid, I'd be like, what is
going on now? I can't imagine what kind of water
that is or what they were providing for us in
(24:25):
Key West, which by the way, is one of my
favorite places on the planet. It's changed a lot because
when my family lived there. It was a lot of locals.
Now you can't really afford to buy a house. They
bought my grandparents' house, eight bedroom house on the corner
over by the cemetery, and they tore down when I
was actually got to see it where it was all
(24:45):
torn down, and then they rebuilt it and it's a
six million dollar house. It's crazy. So a lot of
if they've priced out a lot of people on the keys.
I don't even know how they find people to work
those bars in restaurants.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Alright, we're going to take a short break.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
We're gonna come back and talk to Paul Ridgewewski's forim prosecutor.
He worked the bus crash that had.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
An anniversary on Friday.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
We'll talk about that, and then we'll talk a little
football too, because he's a high school ref. We'll talk
about the new season coming up, and we'll probably ask
for people that are interested in becoming a high school
football ref or just a ref, and we'll talk how
you can sign up. They have clinics and places you
can go and find out more about it. Lots of pasta,
lots apasta, Louisville dot com. Everyone's back. John will be
(25:32):
back for a couple of days before he ships out
to Charleston. But Maggie's back. She used to work.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
There and she loves lots of pasta.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
The whole family does. So go check out, go to
the grocery. Look, I go to Kroger, but I end
up at Lots of Pasta because the food is just clean.
It's better. Everyone loves the food. If you want catering
for a lot of these graduations and parties this spring,
then you want to use lots of pasta for sure.
And then of course check out the deli. They bake
their own meats, they bake the breads, they import cheeses
from two hundredries. It's crazy the options you have at
(26:02):
Lots of Pasta. It's just something different. And check out
the coffee shop. It is a cafe with fast Wi Fi,
big screen TV. And watch the news or whatever, and
work a little bit. And if it's a nice day,
you can be outside at the cafe where thirty seven

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
