Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, everybody. Welcome News Radio eight forty WA Chance,
Tony Veneeddi here, Dwight's out this week. You got John
Alden at the hell How are you John?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Doing good?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Happy Monday, Happy Monday, everybody. We're all rolling towards Friday,
because we got a three day weekend. Memorial Day is
a week from today, honoring those that gave all in
the military. That is what Memorial Day is all about.
And cheeseburgers, dogs, stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
All right.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
The big story obviously over the weekend storms, storms and
more storms. A big line of storms came through. We
were in West Lafayette, Indiana, and that it stretched all
the way up to that. Obviously. I don't know. Sometimes
we feel I feel like we're prepared, like the weather
guys prepare us for seven eight days out when something's happening.
(00:51):
This one, I don't think they thought would produce two
tornadoes in EF two and in EF three, which I
don't think people understand. I mean people in London, Kentucky do,
and people in Western from a couple of years ago.
But in EF three is devastating the state troopers. Kentucky
(01:14):
State Troopers gave an aerial video it's like a movie.
This is carving out the land as it goes across.
Nineteen people lost their lives. Here's the thing too, It
happened in the evening. You know, people were in a
movie theater, like can you imagine? It was crazy? Now
(01:35):
we were in again, Like I said, we were at
Purdue and all of the graduates they had we were
in a theater. They had the graduates in the armory.
I'm getting text from my son. It goes over the top. Now,
the army was built in nineteen eighteen. It's one hundred
years old. And he was like the roof is shaking,
and they had pushed back graduation for it wasn't much,
(01:57):
about a half an hour, but still that kind of
storm and we were in a building that was built
in nineteen nineteen eighteen. It's pretty it's pretty crazy. So unfortunately,
again it looks like we're going to have more storms
come through and hopefully we'll have a better idea what's
going on. Saint Louis is cleaning up after theirs. The
(02:18):
Mayor's saying it's going to be a billion dollars worth
of damage to Saint Louis. That is crazy. The mayor
is Kara Spencer a billion dollars. Over five thousand buildings
were damaged. Like that's the same storm, right, I mean
they Saint Louis and didn't hit us, you know, luckily,
(02:39):
I think it it weakened a little bit before it
got to us. But the prayers and everyone's helping. I've
seen the videos now. Coach Pope a Kentucky is out
there helping. Former players are out helping at UK basketball.
They always step up, but there's a lot of a
lot of times community has to step up and do
their thing. So we'll keep you up on that. We
(03:01):
are the weather channel, so keep us locked in. I
saw where WLKY, our TV broadcast partner. They have three
different crews in London in the damage area. I'm watching
it right now, matter of fact, and the damage is insane.
So we'll keep you up on it. We are again
the weather, news and weather. That's what we do at
News Radio eight forty whas. I want to stay hi
(03:23):
to Betty, eighty two year old Betty. She told me
to tell Dwight to shut up.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well, now he gets to be shut up for the
next five days.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
That's right, So Betty love you met her yesterday at
an Assumption graduation party. Julie Baum from CF's daughter graduated,
My nephews graduated from Trinity. It was a busy It
was a busy weekend of college graduates in high school graduates.
I will tell you, the older I get, John, enjoy
(03:51):
your twenties. Enjoy the energy that you have. Okay, because
four days in West Lafayette and come back and do
a whole day of graduations and parties and all that.
It's just it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Graduations. They're already an exhausting thing, no matter how old
you are, because they're already way too long. It doesn't
matter if it's a high school graduation or a college graduation.
You have the whole family there. There's usually dinner involved. Yeah,
there are so many moving pieces to a graduation ceremony,
and it's it's it's just celebrated. I remember it is
my college graduation. But at the same time, if you're
(04:25):
not the person being celebrated, it's not usually the most
fun time for you.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, and it's again, it's such a finish line for
a lot of these kids. I mean, but we had
we had and and add in we had commissioning because
John is also in the Navy. He is an ensign
in the Navy now.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
And we'll ship out graduations. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah he was. He was great, but he so we
had that before the graduation. So the graduation seemed like.
John actually looked at me and goes, you know, I
don't have to walk. That's true, he goes, I graduated.
I know I don't have to walk. And I was like,
I looked at him in a of course, what happened?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
You know?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
My wife was like, yeah, I don't think so you're walking,
buddy will wear you out because he lives in the
Navy house right off campus. So we had the big
barbecue afterwards, and the whole Navy class came to the
house and it was a thousand beers and burgers and
hot dogs, and it was crazy, and it went all night,
(05:22):
and then we had the graduation still to do it.
It was nuts. I commend all of these guys and
gals that graduated this weekend from high school and college.
It is a finish line to a certain extent, because
I always tell my kids, John, and you'll tell yours life,
there's no finish lines. You think there are, But it's
a mirage you just got to keep that. It's just
(05:43):
an end of one thing, you're going in another. There's
no finish lines.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
In life or checkpoints.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
They are checkpoints. That's exactly right. Marriage. Oh I'm married,
I'm done. No, it's just starting kids. I'm done. No,
it's just stunting. He's out of diapers, just titan, no
fittish lines. But I will say it was impressive. The
Purdue graduation was impressive. The provost, here's something nice. So
(06:11):
you think we have all this vision at these universities
are all very liberal and they're anti American, and they
do all this YadA YadA. What are they teaching? I
got to tell you. Purdue, the provost was so impressive,
and he made a point to tell every graduate there
it's like five thousand, it's crazy, largest class in Purdue history.
And he says, look, you live understand how lucky you are.
(06:34):
You live in the greatest country in the world. You
are lucky. And America turns two hundred and fifty. It's
two hundred and fifty years of the greatest country in
the world. I thought that was refreshing. Right to hear
that and to make sure the kids know you're lucky
that you live here in the United States. It's the
(06:55):
greatest country. I thought that was cool. So congratulations to
all the graduates from all the high schools. Even in
the high school is a great finish line. And there
are so many kids that aren't going to college now
because they're getting smart about college debt and they're going
into a profession and a really a lot of times
(07:15):
until you're talking about you know, oh, I can't become
a manager because I don't have a degree. You can
get a degree later, something small. You need a you know,
a piece of paper. But get into life and get
it going either way, whatever your path is, go get
them and do something that you love, like John and
I do and Dwight does.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I will say this though, I think it's a scam
that at least for me going to college to learn
how to do this. And I was smart about not
accruing too much debt. I took. I did the UPS
route for a year before going to WK. You did
some things down there to get rid of some debt
as well.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Smart.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
But the fact that I have any sort of debt
to learn how to do this, maybe I'm being selfish
by saying this. I think it's nonsense.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
No, there are professions I will not I used to
get invited to Western Kentucky to speak to the radio
and TV.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
St You did that to you probably you didn't know
me at the time, but I was at one of those.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Oh right, okay, I won't go anymore. I told him
I will not go. I said, they're wasting you're wasting
your money. Get into the profession. If you want to
a degree in this, fine, but get a job while
you're there. Put an application in every TV and radio
station there and get into the workforce. A lot of
kids do that. They've got a job by junior year,
(08:31):
you know, and then they try to decide if they're
going to finish or not. But it is. It is
a My son did a paper on student debt scareding.
He was like, this doesn't make sense. Well, no, d
some of it don't. He joined the Navy. But I
still paid about ninety ninety thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
That's nuts.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It's crazy because not every school when you do ROTC
pays you know, Ohio State's a full ride and room
and board, but Purdue you pay for the first year
forty something and then room and boarded all the way out,
but still worth it and he has a job. Several
things happened over the weekend and last night breaking news
with the President diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer that has
(09:13):
moved to his bones. Spread to his bones. That does
not sound good, you know. Try to talk to some
folks that have an experience with this. Tony Cruz has
some experience with it with some friends, but it is
not good at his age at eighty two.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
It's just.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
So it has really kind of flipped the narrative on
him in just like the last twelve hours or so
that people have been up so upset with him. And
again I blame his wife. I don't blame Biden. I
blame the wife for keeping him in that situation. Your
wife is supposed to protect you, right, She's the one
that when you come home and tell the story. You know,
(09:52):
we all know you come home at a certain age
and you know you're in the bedroom, you're changing out
of your suit or whatever you're doing, and you're telling
her how you know what's going on with the day,
and then she says, that's crazy. You need the she
Your wife should be protecting you, not pushing you into
the way of the train or the bus. I think
(10:13):
that's what she did for the last two years, is
pushed him in front of the bus, worried about her
own future, not his. And I think that obviously has
switched now and with thoughts and prayers to him and
his family, and he did serve his country for a
long time, and I hope he could come out of this.
But man, that's a tough diagnosis if you're thirty.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Could you imagine if he had not dropped out of
the race and somehow got reelected and was serving a
second term right now? Yeah, people panicking about the Kamala
Harris prospect, that sort of thing. Maybe it's not worth
getting into.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Well, you know, I think he would have lost worse. Yeah,
because the debate was such a disaster that even you know,
even the the ones that just skew the news towards him,
we're saying that that was a disaster last night and
it has to happen. They needed it to happen for
the switch out, but it should have happened two years earlier.
(11:12):
But yeah, I don't think so. No, we can't have
a president at that age. Look, you're taking keys from
your parents that are eighty two. Hey Dad, I love you,
but you can't drive anymore.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I mean, we just had the papal elections. They don't
let anybody over eighty vote from the cardinals in those elections. Right,
I know, it's something totally different, think about it, but
it is worth thinking about it now.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Not be pope, but not vote. You can't vote in
it you're over eighty at some point. You know, it's
a good idea to limit, but we're not. We're not
changing I guess the constitution or well you know, and
we're not changing that. And we should. And again, these
parties do this too much where they say it's your turn.
(11:56):
It's your turn, and that's not the way it should be.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Shouldn't be a pez dispenser.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
It should be the most qualified person that people that
will get the most votes for your side. Now he's
earned it or she's earned it, it's her turn. They
did it with Hillary. That was a mistake. I mean
it was crazy. It was crazy. You can't do that.
The the sailing ship here's the I didn't even realize
it until I saw the close up. They have sailors
(12:24):
on each one of the I mean lined up like dancers,
Like what are you doing up there, and then and
it did. It lost power and floated back.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, it went with the current of the river.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Oh, it's unbelievable. And two sailors lost their lives, twenty
or injured. But it's a crazy video. Now, these were
all Mexican sailors.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Correct sailors and naval cadets as well.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I mean, this is again reminds me of the obviously,
the the one in oh, the one up in Baltimore. Yeah,
the Baltimore they'd lost power.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
The freightership that lost hour and took that bridge out.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I mean, I know they have backup power. It's just
it's unbelievable. In the video if you can get a chance,
go see it because it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
And then people screaming that are watching it, and it
really is a cool looking situation, and you think, oh,
I would go down to see that.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
The ship was going around on a good will tour.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
It was.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
It was due to take off today, I believe, to
head towards Iceland and Nova Scotia and all that. That's
visiting different countries on a good will trip with these
cadets sailing it.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
And how hard that is. This sailboat in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
The Coast Guard still does it.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
They have the Coast Guard Cutter Eagle, and it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Have the USS Constitution. No, that's not a sailboat.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Nos's that's a sale battleship. The Constitution has the three
masted battles Yeah. Yeah, But what it does, when you
think about it, it teaches these sailors how to just the
basics the win the stars and the sea to navigate.
In case that ever happens on the big fancy.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Show, you find out quick because Dwight and I did
that with the catamaran in Jamaica. You found out quick
there's no wind because we sailed way too far out
and the wind stopped and we sat there for an hour,
and we thought we had four cell phones and all that, like,
what are we what are we gonna do? We probably
(14:17):
should have we told him. He goes, hey fat boys,
because that's what it was called us. Hey fat boys,
you want the training. We were like, no, we're good.
Should have done the training.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Should have done the training.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Uh. But we made it back barely. It was so good.
We went and got a pinicolata as soon as we
hit the beat, right. Uh. But yeah, thoughts and prayers
to them too. There's so many thoughts and prayers going
out here. The former president, the folks in London, Kentucky again,
watch lky they are. They have three different UH groups
(14:51):
in London and spread out over Kentucky to show you
the damage and everything and how you can help also,
and then keep it here on news radio eight forty
w h A S. We are the news and weather channels,
so we will keep you up there. I didn't even
get through most of the big headlines here. It's crazy
on Mondays around.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Here, really is.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I will have Paul Rodzewalski on. He was a former
He is a former Jefferson County prosecutor, high school football
reft maybe one of the best. And he was the
prosecutor on the bus crash and Carlton Uh. That anniversary
was Friday. I believe I was not working, so I
couldn't have him on. But the story of that from
(15:32):
his because you're wondering why he caught that case. The
prosecutor in Carrollton had a heart attack the week of
the of the of the crash, so it goes as
a birdflies.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
The next special prosecutor, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Correct, and he caught it as a young prosecutor. And
let me tell you the details. In any tragedy, there
has to be there is something. There's twelve crazy things
that have to happen in a row. That's why they're
so unusual, is that there's twelve fourteen things that have
to happen for it to happen, and the details are crazy.
(16:03):
I will give you one before we get to the
joke of the day. Those the now. The name is
escaping me. The driver of the truck. We'll get it
here in a couple of hours. But him and his
two buddies were drinking, and his two buddies slammed him
against his own truck. Was like, give us the keys.
He was too drunk. He lived a quarter mile up
(16:24):
the gravel road and he had to take a left
and he would have been right at his trailer. So
they watched his lights go up that gravel because they
let him drive, and he took a right instead of
a left, and they went, oh no, And that's when
he got on the expressway the wrong way.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I was I was actually surprised to find out that
he's out of jail.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Oh and he's lived very quietly in Carrollton and here's
the other one. This is a different time. There were
protests at the courthouse to let him go because at
that time, you know, they were like, he's just a
good old boy. Everyone has a couple of beers. He
shouldn't be prosecuted with all these deaths. They were protesting.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Larry Wayne Mahoney, Yes, Terry.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Mahoney, Larry Moony. So they protested that he was being charged.
How things have changed obviously, Wow, and they and they
really and Paul will tell you all this. It's a
fascinating story. But there was a teacher that got out.
Her legs got burned, but she got out of a window.
She had to move because the people of Carrington were like,
you abandoned those kids. Oh wow, it was crazy time.
(17:29):
Crazy time.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
A replica of that bus parks at the steakhouse is
parked at a steakhouse in Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
It's a crazy line of events. They just stopped to
fill up. It was a full tank. Yeah, they just stopped.
So if they'd have stayed thirty seconds or whatever more
it had been, it's crazy. It's crazy, or not stopped
and just went kept on one d had I missed him? Uh,
And then that's why the explosion was so crazy and
too A nurse and a doctor were following because they
(17:56):
saw him driving on the other side, and they said,
something's gonna happen, and we're gonna be ready. There was
a doctor and a nurse on the scene within seconds.
It's crazy story, all right. So let's get something a
little happier and we'll do the joke of the day
courtesy of John Shedding from the News.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And it's a mama joke Monday.
Speaker 1 (18:14):

back after this. On NewsRadio eight forty wns now Bow
on Bowl this Dylan traveling Willberry's Oh yes, never got
(19:46):
into that band. Really cool, guys, I just didn't dig
the music at the time. We didn't really play it.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah on the radio.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
This is very Dylan like that. It is.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Okay. So lots of lead stories today which we miss.
The bombing of the fertility clinic. What is crazy about
that story is that you thought it was maybe some
sort of religious thing going on there, and you know
it's a fertility It's not an abortion clinic. It's a
(20:21):
fertility clinic. That's where families go that are trying to
start a family and they need help. So this guy,
So you find out this guy, which he tried to video,
he tried to go live online because he blew himself
up in the car. He is part of a group
(20:43):
that believes no one should have children. Like that's a.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
First for me because he was once a child. Everyone
was once a child.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
He believes no one should have children. Does anybody that
is nuts? Obviously it's nuts, but it's a new one
for me, Like, I didn't know that group existed, Like
you could. You could sort of in every crazy extreme group,
you can say, well I understand, you know, I understand
their thought pattern. It's terrible, but I understand it. This
(21:16):
one is what what do you mean? No children? You
want the human race to end? It is crazy. So
we'll find out more about that. The good news is
the fertility clinic. The doctor says they are going to
open today. I would assume in a different location because
(21:37):
the building is just smashed down and I have no
idea what he used for explosives. But that's a new one.
That's a new one. A group that says no children
should be born, that is a new one. And how
many are there of this person like that? Can't be
like an online group, right, And I'm not googling it?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
And how you find people who are of this said
group before more of this happens.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
There are so many benefits to the internet, and there
are a lot of negatives. These people find each other,
that's the problem. They find each other now they're a group.
It's crazy, sad news for the high Landers. Some people
love their restaurant and that's it. For a long time,
(22:26):
Bristol was my favorite, the green chili, wantons and all that,
and during COVID it kind of slowed down and maybe
not the same, but again, still love it. But a
Louisville restaurant has been around for a century is closing
its doors, the cottage in on Eastern Parkway, and people
a lot of people go, oh, I've been there. They
said they're finally closing the doors. It's sold a couple
(22:47):
of years ago to new people and it's just not
since COVID. COVID did so much damage, so there it's
going to switch to new owners in a different concept.
But the cottage in and Eastern Parkway is over. If
you went there the last one hundred years, you would
know what I'm talking about. So people love their restaurants.
What is your go to restaurant, John.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Go to see when I'm thinking locally, I don't go
to this place very often, but it's definitely a place
I love. In Louisville's Mike Lennox.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Oh yes, I love Mike Lennox. The whole experience and
the fish is great. But it's just if you live
other anyway. If you don't live near it, you're not driving.
It's hard for us to drive forty five minutes because
that's what it is. Man, that's a birthday type of
It is a special occasion.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Go.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I love that place, but it is for us. In
Saint Matthew's, you're like and we want to drive all
the way out there. So the people in South End
man lucky to have that place. Yeah, I love at
the Bristol is still on the top of my list,
but can'fee Luluse and Saint Matthew's is good. Once you
find your place, you're there for a while before they change.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Chefs also love Derby City Pizza in Louisville.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Oh, I need to try that.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
It's thin crust. We have one in Mount Washington where
I in my neck of the woods. If you're a
thin crust type of dude like myself, it can wet
your fancy.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
By the way, I don't get out there much, but
I was there in Fern Creek for the Friday show,
that's right, or Wednesday show, and I didn't realize how
that whole area is blown up.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
And somebody went to high school out there, you know,
nearly ten years ago. At this point, just that amount
of time alone, the place is already looking like a
suburb of Louisville instead of its own town now.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
And it used to be farms. Yeah, when I was
growing up, it was farms. People had horses out there
and now and that's what they do, and that's what
we do. We create the bubble. You got your own
target on Depot Movie Theater. You don't need to because
you're like, why do you live at you know, out
in Mysa, because you once you get out there, you
don't have to come back in town. You have all
(24:49):
the stuff there and once you get a little hospital
or a clinic, then you're you're done. You live in
your bubble, and sadly, sadly, I think it is all.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
The thing is, they're all Mount Washington's. Mount Washington's always
going to have the parklands that kind of separates them
from the Glenn Mary part of Livill Fern Creek, that
sort of thing. They'll they'll continue to expand, but you're
not gonna it's not going to completely commercialize all the
way down Bartstown Road. I wouldn't match.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
They'll keep going out. Old Henry is the same way. Yeah,
if you go out Gene Snyder and get off Old Henry,
if you haven't been there in five years, you're not
going to believe what's out there. They have their own hospital,
they've redone the roads out there, and there was every
business imaginable. The Mercedes dealers out there, they have a
Harley dealer, they have every store you can imagine. And
now that's all because everyone keeps going out, out, out,
(25:40):
out out, escaping inside the circle. And Bill Belichick wants
to escape. Jordan Hudson in this pr mess that he
has on his hands. How did we we all called it? Well,
he's seventy whatever, she's twenty four, and she's an aggressive
(26:02):
twenty four. She's not. I'm quiet and just hanging out
with Bill Belichick. She wants to control his his pr
and it's been a nightmare for him. So now he's
sort of trying to clean things up, and good luck,
it'll probably end up in just a breakup or whatever.
But this is why. Look I tell my son and
(26:23):
his friends. Mary a smart seven point five. Okay, it's like.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
How I met your mother. You have the hot crazy scale, right.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yes, that's exactly what it is. Once you get above
seven point five, you get to eight, eight point five,
nine tens. Too much trouble, Yes, too much trouble, man,
Mary a smart seven point five. George Clooney married a
really smart seven point five Hillary Clinton. Look, Bill Clinton's
a stud as you can get, right, he married a
six still married to her. Of course we all know
(26:56):
his story. But yes, Mary a seven point five, that's
the Uh. Some people are like, you're an idiot, but
that look there are some windows there, okay, and some
truth to that. But once you get into the fours
and fives, then you're you know, you want a seven
point a smart seven point five to help tell you
what to do every once in a while, right, and
(27:16):
now I made that mistake. I married at ten.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Oh look at you just casually getting around then.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
But remember we got divorced after seven, got remarried at
eight and a half and been happy ever since.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
But so now things got down to a seven point five, right.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
It looks no, she is not, She's a ten. Uh
And that's what was my mistake, the ten. You know. Right.
We have really not talked about Sean Diddy Coombe's trial.
It's going on right now. Don Richards returns to testify today.
(27:54):
The jury we'll hear here talk about she was witnessed
to the physical and emotional abuse that the girl and had.
But nothing up until this point says go to prison.
Yet we have not heard any testimony that talks about
these champagne parties, that talks about these rapes, that talks
about what he did at these parties. We have a
(28:16):
lot of video online of girls that are saying this, this,
and this. They haven't testified or I don't even know
if they're going to call them. You know what I
said last week, billionaires do not go to prison. Millionaires.
Do you got a hundred million dollars you got a
chance going to prison? If you're a billionaire, they just
don't go to prison. Tell me the billionaire that went
(28:38):
to prison when you have that much money, it's just
in your favor. So I again, I'm going to hold
to the fact that Sean Diddy Coombs does no time.
He might, you know, he might have to pay out
for he's probably in for trials for the next ten
years of civil trials. But just America says, if you're
(29:01):
a billionaire, you're not going to jail. And he's miserable.
That dude owns a forty eight million dollar house in Miami,
just one of them of his house is forty eight
million dollar house in Miami, and he is in prison
in New York and he is miserable. He looks terrible
at these trials. But we really haven't covered that. We're
trying to keep up on that if we get some testimony,
(29:22):
and again I'm not sure what we've heard yet gets
him convicted of what he is, but I hope that
at some point the truth will come out. And these
people that were at the champagne party, and again a
lot of the witnesses that have testimony are saying, I
don't drink, so I didn't drink the champagne which supposedly
had I allegedly had these drugs in it, so they
(29:45):
were like, I don't drink, so I didn't drink and
I watched how all this went down. So I haven't
yet to see if that's going to be on the
roll call, but we will see. Taylor Swift now subpoena
for the legal battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively,
which is going to to be a mess. There are
two separate trials right now that are getting planned to go.
(30:06):
And Taylor Swift, she is very savvy and she's a
billionaire and she's been through this court thing before because
some stupid Denver DJ grabbed her butt at a backstage
thing and he lost his job. She handled that with
such grace and testified. People forget that trial. But her
(30:26):
lawyer said you shouldn't testify, and she goes, oh no, no, no,
I'm going to testify. And then she ate his lawyers
for lunch during the trial because the mom had called
the radio station and said, I don't want a pound
of flesh. I'm just telling you what your DJ did,
and they fired him. He sued, and then she counter
sewed for a dollar and one. It was very impressive. Actually,
it switched me out on Taylor Swift. I was like,
(30:48):
that's impressive. So I don't know. She's saying, I had
no dealings with this movie. And I think her relationship
with Blake Lively clearly is damaged, and I don't know
if they're going to be the same. But this she's
taken the worse on this because justin Baldoni. And again
I keep up on it because my daughter, she loves
(31:09):
Taylor Swift and all this, but she he has all
these text messages, so every accusation she's made, he goes,
here's the text messages, not true. It's crazy. I think
she would love to go back in time and say, yeah,
we probably don't want to do this. And her husband
can't be happy about this all either, and he included
(31:29):
I don't know if you saw the movie. Did you
see the.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Was it Deadpool?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Deadpool with Wolverine?
Speaker 2 (31:35):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
They throw in a character that's supposed to be Baldoni, okay,
with a hit with the long hair, and he's so
super nice, he's that super nice Deadpool guy and they
make they mock him through the movie, and that's supposed
to be Baldoni, and it's now that's coming out, like, okay,
maybe another four hundred million dollar lawsuit is crazy. Memorial
(31:58):
Day is coming up all week from today. Only half
of Americans realize what the original meeting was, which is
for our fallen military service members. Most just treated as
a cookout in a day off, which is whatever. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I feel like so many people get Memorial Day, Labor Day,
and Veterans Day mixed, all confused. Correct.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Veterans Day is just anybody it served, Yes, Memorial Day
is to remember the fallen military. They gave the ultimate
price for freedom in the United States. So cookouts will
be there. You already go into Kroger and Target and whatever,
and you see all the everything's. You know, you got
the buns for sale, the burgers for sale. Twenty four
(32:45):
percent are traveling on the holiday, so things have slowed
down on the travel side of things. People just don't
feel comfortable about the economy right now, so they're just saying, ah,
we're going to hold off, We'm stay home. Gas are fine,
but I think hotel prices, and especially because most places
(33:07):
Moial Day jack up their prices, hotels now are a
little insane. I mean they're a little insane. You could
get a good hotel for about one hundred and twenty
just a couple of years ago, and now it's two twenty,
it's to forty. And then now they get you every
little thing. So a normal parking lot where you just
would park, now they're charging thirty four dollars a day
(33:28):
for parking. It's like we're in the suburbs.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
This is why everybody does goes to the Airbnb route nowadays.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
That is that we haven't done that. We almost did
it this weekend, but we've never done it. I just
I'm fifty six years old. I found it weird sleeping
in somebody else's house.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
You have to find the right ones, right There are
some very sketchy ones, and it's not just Airbnb, there's
some sketchy ones on the other ones as well. But
you kind of have to do your scouting and make
sure you get the place that's gonna really suit what
you're looking for.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
And when you become a dad like you have, you
will become suspect of everyone trips. When you stopping a
gas your job is to put gas in the car
as the dad, and then head on a swivel of
everyone that's at the gas station because your kids are
running the bathroom. Your wife is taking the daughter into
the bathroom. So you are keeping your head. You know,
(34:15):
you see the people standing by the sunglass. It's a
little thing, and good, what are you up to? So
that's your job because your brain just goes to that.
So I just go. If I'm going to stand in,
we haven't done it in a verbo or whatever it is,
because I don't trust is there cameras in here?
Speaker 2 (34:32):
That's true?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
How clean?
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Is?
Speaker 2 (34:33):
The best ones to do is people who just have
a condo and they just turn it into an Airbnb
slash Verbo. So it just feels natural to do that.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Yeah, but there is something that just don't trust it.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
To somebody's house who just put on an addition. Let's say,
here's the Airbnb portion of our house. That's weird.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
That is weird. And again I have I'm unfounded, I
have no evidence, or just my dad brain says, hmm,
I'm just stay in the hotel, even though the prices
for hotels are crazy. But the best thing is if
you have a spouse or somebody in the family that
travels a lot, for their business. You know, we acquire
those points. Marriott is awesome. It's like I think, when
(35:10):
she stays out three nights, we get a night. So
most of our hotel stays the last ten years or so,
we just use points. It's awesome. My buddies do that too,
because they travel a lot. Just boom, get the website up,
and then the hotel's near. You come up and they go,
this one costs ten thousand points, this one's twenty. You go, boom,
free night, not even taxes, it's all done. It's kind
(35:34):
of nice. Dwight is out for a couple of days.
We'll be here. We already got one hour in the
books on a Monday. Everyone is tired. Look I get
the graduations and run around and doing all that, and
then I didn't see a lot of traffic today. So
schools obviously, less schools, less school buses, less people trying
to drive their kids to school. And that means we
(35:55):
forget how easy the traffic is in the summer in
this town. And I will enjoy it. All right, We're
gonna take a short break. We'll come back.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
We're good. We're still here. That's my fault.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Oh okay, gotcha. Allen Electric six three six help is
the phone number. Give them a call. I just got
a DM from a young lady in PRP. She had
her electric out for a couple of days and said,
what is that company with the generator? So I got it.
That's not her voice, that's the voice I put into her.
I said, look, call Allen Electric. It's Generac generators. They
(36:28):
sent their entire team up there to the Generac warehouse
to find out exactly how to install them and how
to work on them. So if you're going to if
you're sick of losing electricity where you live, get the
Generac generator okay, and it runs off the natural gas.
It powers your old house. You'll be done. You don't
even have to turn it on. It automatically comes on
when your electricity goes out. It is crazy. You don't
(36:49):
have that loud hum going on, or we have to
go to the gas station and fill up your generator
and only runs the refrigerator and something else. This thing
is encased, it looks great on the side of your
house and it runs your home. So Generaic generator at
Allen Electric six three six help is the number. Back
after this on news Radio eight forty wh A is
Good morning, everybody. Welcome News Radio eight forty WA Chance,
Tony Veneeddi here, Dwight's out this week. You got John
Alden at the hell How are you John?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Doing good?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Happy Monday, Happy Monday, everybody. We're all rolling towards Friday,
because we got a three day weekend. Memorial Day is
a week from today, honoring those that gave all in
the military. That is what Memorial Day is all about.
And cheeseburgers, dogs, stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
All right.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
The big story obviously over the weekend storms, storms and
more storms. A big line of storms came through. We
were in West Lafayette, Indiana, and that it stretched all
the way up to that. Obviously. I don't know. Sometimes
we feel I feel like we're prepared, like the weather
guys prepare us for seven eight days out when something's happening.
(00:51):
This one, I don't think they thought would produce two
tornadoes in EF two and in EF three, which I
don't think people understand. I mean people in London, Kentucky do,
and people in Western from a couple of years ago.
But in EF three is devastating the state troopers. Kentucky
(01:14):
State Troopers gave an aerial video it's like a movie.
This is carving out the land as it goes across.
Nineteen people lost their lives. Here's the thing too, It
happened in the evening. You know, people were in a
movie theater, like can you imagine? It was crazy? Now
(01:35):
we were in again, Like I said, we were at
Purdue and all of the graduates they had we were
in a theater. They had the graduates in the armory.
I'm getting text from my son. It goes over the top. Now,
the army was built in nineteen eighteen. It's one hundred
years old. And he was like the roof is shaking,
and they had pushed back graduation for it wasn't much,
(01:57):
about a half an hour, but still that kind of
storm and we were in a building that was built
in nineteen nineteen eighteen. It's pretty it's pretty crazy. So unfortunately,
again it looks like we're going to have more storms
come through and hopefully we'll have a better idea what's
going on. Saint Louis is cleaning up after theirs. The
(02:18):
Mayor's saying it's going to be a billion dollars worth
of damage to Saint Louis. That is crazy. The mayor
is Kara Spencer a billion dollars. Over five thousand buildings
were damaged. Like that's the same storm, right, I mean
they Saint Louis and didn't hit us, you know, luckily,
(02:39):
I think it it weakened a little bit before it
got to us. But the prayers and everyone's helping. I've
seen the videos now. Coach Pope a Kentucky is out
there helping. Former players are out helping at UK basketball.
They always step up, but there's a lot of a
lot of times community has to step up and do
their thing. So we'll keep you up on that. We
(03:01):
are the weather channel, so keep us locked in. I
saw where WLKY, our TV broadcast partner. They have three
different crews in London in the damage area. I'm watching
it right now, matter of fact, and the damage is insane.
So we'll keep you up on it. We are again
the weather, news and weather. That's what we do at
News Radio eight forty whas. I want to stay hi
(03:23):
to Betty, eighty two year old Betty. She told me
to tell Dwight to shut up.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well, now he gets to be shut up for the
next five days.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
That's right, So Betty love you met her yesterday at
an Assumption graduation party. Julie Baum from CF's daughter graduated,
My nephews graduated from Trinity. It was a busy It
was a busy weekend of college graduates in high school graduates.
I will tell you, the older I get, John, enjoy
(03:51):
your twenties. Enjoy the energy that you have. Okay, because
four days in West Lafayette and come back and do
a whole day of graduations and parties and all that.
It's just it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Graduations. They're already an exhausting thing, no matter how old
you are, because they're already way too long. It doesn't
matter if it's a high school graduation or a college graduation.
You have the whole family there. There's usually dinner involved. Yeah,
there are so many moving pieces to a graduation ceremony,
and it's it's it's just celebrated. I remember it is
my college graduation. But at the same time, if you're
(04:25):
not the person being celebrated, it's not usually the most
fun time for you.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, and it's again, it's such a finish line for
a lot of these kids. I mean, but we had
we had and and add in we had commissioning because
John is also in the Navy. He is an ensign
in the Navy now.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
And we'll ship out graduations. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah he was. He was great, but he so we
had that before the graduation. So the graduation seemed like.
John actually looked at me and goes, you know, I
don't have to walk. That's true, he goes, I graduated.
I know I don't have to walk. And I was like,
I looked at him in a of course, what happened?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
You know?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
My wife was like, yeah, I don't think so you're walking,
buddy will wear you out because he lives in the
Navy house right off campus. So we had the big
barbecue afterwards, and the whole Navy class came to the
house and it was a thousand beers and burgers and
hot dogs, and it was crazy, and it went all night,
(05:22):
and then we had the graduation still to do it.
It was nuts. I commend all of these guys and
gals that graduated this weekend from high school and college.
It is a finish line to a certain extent, because
I always tell my kids, John, and you'll tell yours life,
there's no finish lines. You think there are, But it's
a mirage you just got to keep that. It's just
(05:43):
an end of one thing, you're going in another. There's
no finish lines.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
In life or checkpoints.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
They are checkpoints. That's exactly right. Marriage. Oh I'm married,
I'm done. No, it's just starting kids. I'm done. No,
it's just stunting. He's out of diapers, just titan, no
fittish lines. But I will say it was impressive. The
Purdue graduation was impressive. The provost, here's something nice. So
(06:11):
you think we have all this vision at these universities
are all very liberal and they're anti American, and they
do all this YadA YadA. What are they teaching? I
got to tell you. Purdue, the provost was so impressive,
and he made a point to tell every graduate there
it's like five thousand, it's crazy, largest class in Purdue history.
And he says, look, you live understand how lucky you are.
(06:34):
You live in the greatest country in the world. You
are lucky. And America turns two hundred and fifty. It's
two hundred and fifty years of the greatest country in
the world. I thought that was refreshing. Right to hear
that and to make sure the kids know you're lucky
that you live here in the United States. It's the
(06:55):
greatest country. I thought that was cool. So congratulations to
all the graduates from all the high schools. Even in
the high school is a great finish line. And there
are so many kids that aren't going to college now
because they're getting smart about college debt and they're going
into a profession and a really a lot of times
(07:15):
until you're talking about you know, oh, I can't become
a manager because I don't have a degree. You can
get a degree later, something small. You need a you know,
a piece of paper. But get into life and get
it going either way, whatever your path is, go get
them and do something that you love, like John and
I do and Dwight does.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I will say this though, I think it's a scam
that at least for me going to college to learn
how to do this. And I was smart about not
accruing too much debt. I took. I did the UPS
route for a year before going to WK. You did
some things down there to get rid of some debt
as well.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Smart.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
But the fact that I have any sort of debt
to learn how to do this, maybe I'm being selfish
by saying this. I think it's nonsense.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
No, there are professions I will not I used to
get invited to Western Kentucky to speak to the radio
and TV.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
St You did that to you probably you didn't know
me at the time, but I was at one of those.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Oh right, okay, I won't go anymore. I told him
I will not go. I said, they're wasting you're wasting
your money. Get into the profession. If you want to
a degree in this, fine, but get a job while
you're there. Put an application in every TV and radio
station there and get into the workforce. A lot of
kids do that. They've got a job by junior year,
(08:31):
you know, and then they try to decide if they're
going to finish or not. But it is. It is
a My son did a paper on student debt scareding.
He was like, this doesn't make sense. Well, no, d
some of it don't. He joined the Navy. But I
still paid about ninety ninety thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
That's nuts.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It's crazy because not every school when you do ROTC
pays you know, Ohio State's a full ride and room
and board, but Purdue you pay for the first year
forty something and then room and boarded all the way out,
but still worth it and he has a job. Several
things happened over the weekend and last night breaking news
with the President diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer that has
(09:13):
moved to his bones. Spread to his bones. That does
not sound good, you know. Try to talk to some
folks that have an experience with this. Tony Cruz has
some experience with it with some friends, but it is
not good at his age at eighty two.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
It's just.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
So it has really kind of flipped the narrative on
him in just like the last twelve hours or so
that people have been up so upset with him. And
again I blame his wife. I don't blame Biden. I
blame the wife for keeping him in that situation. Your
wife is supposed to protect you, right, She's the one
that when you come home and tell the story. You know,
(09:52):
we all know you come home at a certain age
and you know you're in the bedroom, you're changing out
of your suit or whatever you're doing, and you're telling
her how you know what's going on with the day,
and then she says, that's crazy. You need the she
Your wife should be protecting you, not pushing you into
the way of the train or the bus. I think
(10:13):
that's what she did for the last two years, is
pushed him in front of the bus, worried about her
own future, not his. And I think that obviously has
switched now and with thoughts and prayers to him and
his family, and he did serve his country for a
long time, and I hope he could come out of this.
But man, that's a tough diagnosis if you're thirty.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Could you imagine if he had not dropped out of
the race and somehow got reelected and was serving a
second term right now? Yeah, people panicking about the Kamala
Harris prospect, that sort of thing. Maybe it's not worth
getting into.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Well, you know, I think he would have lost worse. Yeah,
because the debate was such a disaster that even you know,
even the the ones that just skew the news towards him,
we're saying that that was a disaster last night and
it has to happen. They needed it to happen for
the switch out, but it should have happened two years earlier.
(11:12):
But yeah, I don't think so. No, we can't have
a president at that age. Look, you're taking keys from
your parents that are eighty two. Hey Dad, I love you,
but you can't drive anymore.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I mean, we just had the papal elections. They don't
let anybody over eighty vote from the cardinals in those elections. Right,
I know, it's something totally different, think about it, but
it is worth thinking about it now.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Not be pope, but not vote. You can't vote in
it you're over eighty at some point. You know, it's
a good idea to limit, but we're not. We're not
changing I guess the constitution or well you know, and
we're not changing that. And we should. And again, these
parties do this too much where they say it's your turn.
(11:56):
It's your turn, and that's not the way it should be.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Shouldn't be a pez dispenser.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
It should be the most qualified person that people that
will get the most votes for your side. Now he's
earned it or she's earned it, it's her turn. They
did it with Hillary. That was a mistake. I mean
it was crazy. It was crazy. You can't do that.
The the sailing ship here's the I didn't even realize
it until I saw the close up. They have sailors
(12:24):
on each one of the I mean lined up like dancers,
Like what are you doing up there, and then and
it did. It lost power and floated back.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, it went with the current of the river.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Oh, it's unbelievable. And two sailors lost their lives, twenty
or injured. But it's a crazy video. Now, these were
all Mexican sailors.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Correct sailors and naval cadets as well.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I mean, this is again reminds me of the obviously,
the the one in oh, the one up in Baltimore. Yeah,
the Baltimore they'd lost power.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
The freightership that lost hour and took that bridge out.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I mean, I know they have backup power. It's just
it's unbelievable. In the video if you can get a chance,
go see it because it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
And then people screaming that are watching it, and it
really is a cool looking situation, and you think, oh,
I would go down to see that.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
The ship was going around on a good will tour.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
It was.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
It was due to take off today, I believe, to
head towards Iceland and Nova Scotia and all that. That's
visiting different countries on a good will trip with these
cadets sailing it.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
And how hard that is. This sailboat in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
The Coast Guard still does it.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
They have the Coast Guard Cutter Eagle, and it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Have the USS Constitution. No, that's not a sailboat.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Nos's that's a sale battleship. The Constitution has the three
masted battles Yeah. Yeah, But what it does, when you
think about it, it teaches these sailors how to just the
basics the win the stars and the sea to navigate.
In case that ever happens on the big fancy.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Show, you find out quick because Dwight and I did
that with the catamaran in Jamaica. You found out quick
there's no wind because we sailed way too far out
and the wind stopped and we sat there for an hour,
and we thought we had four cell phones and all that, like,
what are we what are we gonna do? We probably
(14:17):
should have we told him. He goes, hey fat boys,
because that's what it was called us. Hey fat boys,
you want the training. We were like, no, we're good.
Should have done the training.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Should have done the training.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Uh. But we made it back barely. It was so good.
We went and got a pinicolata as soon as we
hit the beat, right. Uh. But yeah, thoughts and prayers
to them too. There's so many thoughts and prayers going
out here. The former president, the folks in London, Kentucky again,
watch lky they are. They have three different UH groups
(14:51):
in London and spread out over Kentucky to show you
the damage and everything and how you can help also,
and then keep it here on news radio eight forty
w h A S. We are the news and weather channels,
so we will keep you up there. I didn't even
get through most of the big headlines here. It's crazy
on Mondays around.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Here, really is.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I will have Paul Rodzewalski on. He was a former
He is a former Jefferson County prosecutor, high school football
reft maybe one of the best. And he was the
prosecutor on the bus crash and Carlton Uh. That anniversary
was Friday. I believe I was not working, so I
couldn't have him on. But the story of that from
(15:32):
his because you're wondering why he caught that case. The
prosecutor in Carrollton had a heart attack the week of
the of the of the crash, so it goes as
a birdflies.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
The next special prosecutor, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Correct, and he caught it as a young prosecutor. And
let me tell you the details. In any tragedy, there
has to be there is something. There's twelve crazy things
that have to happen in a row. That's why they're
so unusual, is that there's twelve fourteen things that have
to happen for it to happen, and the details are crazy.
(16:03):
I will give you one before we get to the
joke of the day. Those the now. The name is
escaping me. The driver of the truck. We'll get it
here in a couple of hours. But him and his
two buddies were drinking, and his two buddies slammed him
against his own truck. Was like, give us the keys.
He was too drunk. He lived a quarter mile up
(16:24):
the gravel road and he had to take a left
and he would have been right at his trailer. So
they watched his lights go up that gravel because they
let him drive, and he took a right instead of
a left, and they went, oh no, And that's when
he got on the expressway the wrong way.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I was I was actually surprised to find out that
he's out of jail.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Oh and he's lived very quietly in Carrollton and here's
the other one. This is a different time. There were
protests at the courthouse to let him go because at
that time, you know, they were like, he's just a
good old boy. Everyone has a couple of beers. He
shouldn't be prosecuted with all these deaths. They were protesting.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Larry Wayne Mahoney, Yes, Terry.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Mahoney, Larry Moony. So they protested that he was being charged.
How things have changed obviously, Wow, and they and they
really and Paul will tell you all this. It's a
fascinating story. But there was a teacher that got out.
Her legs got burned, but she got out of a window.
She had to move because the people of Carrington were like,
you abandoned those kids. Oh wow, it was crazy time.
(17:29):
Crazy time.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
A replica of that bus parks at the steakhouse is
parked at a steakhouse in Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
It's a crazy line of events. They just stopped to
fill up. It was a full tank. Yeah, they just stopped.
So if they'd have stayed thirty seconds or whatever more
it had been, it's crazy. It's crazy, or not stopped
and just went kept on one d had I missed him? Uh,
And then that's why the explosion was so crazy and
too A nurse and a doctor were following because they
(17:56):
saw him driving on the other side, and they said,
something's gonna happen, and we're gonna be ready. There was
a doctor and a nurse on the scene within seconds.
It's crazy story, all right. So let's get something a
little happier and we'll do the joke of the day
courtesy of John Shedding from the News.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And it's a mama joke Monday.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It is a mama joke Monday. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
No, no, Dwight get fired for that one.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah wait, I can, Okay, here we go.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I got one.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Okay, Hey fellas, Hey j John, Your mama so stupid,
How stupid it is. Your mama is so stupid she
put airbags on her computer in case it crashed.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
A crashing joke right after the bush crash.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Oh my dear.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Now you're fired, Dwight. How did you joke of today?
Thank you John? On the nineteenth of May Memorial Day,
a week from today. Uh back after this, but first

a really important part. So if you're gonna get windows,
get something in support America by going with windownation dot
com or eight six six ninety Nation eight six six
ninety Nation windownation dot Com. You won't believe I got
new windows seven years ago. My electric bill has been
(19:20):
lowered by so much I can't even I should do
the percentages because it is crazy how much it seals
your house up. Uh, and it keeps the air inside
your house. It's fantastic, all right, So windownation dot Com
back after this. On NewsRadio eight forty wns now Bow
on Bowl this Dylan traveling Willberry's Oh yes, never got
(19:46):
into that band. Really cool, guys, I just didn't dig
the music at the time. We didn't really play it.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah on the radio.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
This is very Dylan like that. It is.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Okay. So lots of lead stories today which we miss.
The bombing of the fertility clinic. What is crazy about
that story is that you thought it was maybe some
sort of religious thing going on there, and you know
it's a fertility It's not an abortion clinic. It's a
(20:21):
fertility clinic. That's where families go that are trying to
start a family and they need help. So this guy,
So you find out this guy, which he tried to video,
he tried to go live online because he blew himself
up in the car. He is part of a group
(20:43):
that believes no one should have children. Like that's a.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
First for me because he was once a child. Everyone
was once a child.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
He believes no one should have children. Does anybody that
is nuts? Obviously it's nuts, but it's a new one
for me, Like, I didn't know that group existed, Like
you could. You could sort of in every crazy extreme group,
you can say, well I understand, you know, I understand
their thought pattern. It's terrible, but I understand it. This
(21:16):
one is what what do you mean? No children? You
want the human race to end? It is crazy. So
we'll find out more about that. The good news is
the fertility clinic. The doctor says they are going to
open today. I would assume in a different location because
(21:37):
the building is just smashed down and I have no
idea what he used for explosives. But that's a new one.
That's a new one. A group that says no children
should be born, that is a new one. And how
many are there of this person like that? Can't be
like an online group, right, And I'm not googling it?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
And how you find people who are of this said
group before more of this happens.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
There are so many benefits to the internet, and there
are a lot of negatives. These people find each other,
that's the problem. They find each other now they're a group.
It's crazy, sad news for the high Landers. Some people
love their restaurant and that's it. For a long time,
(22:26):
Bristol was my favorite, the green chili, wantons and all that,
and during COVID it kind of slowed down and maybe
not the same, but again, still love it. But a
Louisville restaurant has been around for a century is closing
its doors, the cottage in on Eastern Parkway, and people
a lot of people go, oh, I've been there. They
said they're finally closing the doors. It's sold a couple
(22:47):
of years ago to new people and it's just not
since COVID. COVID did so much damage, so there it's
going to switch to new owners in a different concept.
But the cottage in and Eastern Parkway is over. If
you went there the last one hundred years, you would
know what I'm talking about. So people love their restaurants.
What is your go to restaurant, John.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Go to see when I'm thinking locally, I don't go
to this place very often, but it's definitely a place
I love. In Louisville's Mike Lennox.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Oh yes, I love Mike Lennox. The whole experience and
the fish is great. But it's just if you live
other anyway. If you don't live near it, you're not driving.
It's hard for us to drive forty five minutes because
that's what it is. Man, that's a birthday type of
It is a special occasion.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Go.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I love that place, but it is for us. In
Saint Matthew's, you're like and we want to drive all
the way out there. So the people in South End
man lucky to have that place. Yeah, I love at
the Bristol is still on the top of my list,
but can'fee Luluse and Saint Matthew's is good. Once you
find your place, you're there for a while before they change.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Chefs also love Derby City Pizza in Louisville.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Oh, I need to try that.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
It's thin crust. We have one in Mount Washington where
I in my neck of the woods. If you're a
thin crust type of dude like myself, it can wet
your fancy.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
By the way, I don't get out there much, but
I was there in Fern Creek for the Friday show,
that's right, or Wednesday show, and I didn't realize how
that whole area is blown up.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
And somebody went to high school out there, you know,
nearly ten years ago. At this point, just that amount
of time alone, the place is already looking like a
suburb of Louisville instead of its own town now.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
And it used to be farms. Yeah, when I was
growing up, it was farms. People had horses out there
and now and that's what they do, and that's what
we do. We create the bubble. You got your own
target on Depot Movie Theater. You don't need to because
you're like, why do you live at you know, out
in Mysa, because you once you get out there, you
don't have to come back in town. You have all
(24:49):
the stuff there and once you get a little hospital
or a clinic, then you're you're done. You live in
your bubble, and sadly, sadly, I think it is all.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
The thing is, they're all Mount Washington's. Mount Washington's always
going to have the parklands that kind of separates them
from the Glenn Mary part of Livill Fern Creek, that
sort of thing. They'll they'll continue to expand, but you're
not gonna it's not going to completely commercialize all the
way down Bartstown Road. I wouldn't match.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
They'll keep going out. Old Henry is the same way. Yeah,
if you go out Gene Snyder and get off Old Henry,
if you haven't been there in five years, you're not
going to believe what's out there. They have their own hospital,
they've redone the roads out there, and there was every
business imaginable. The Mercedes dealers out there, they have a
Harley dealer, they have every store you can imagine. And
now that's all because everyone keeps going out, out, out,
(25:40):
out out, escaping inside the circle. And Bill Belichick wants
to escape. Jordan Hudson in this pr mess that he
has on his hands. How did we we all called it? Well,
he's seventy whatever, she's twenty four, and she's an aggressive
(26:02):
twenty four. She's not. I'm quiet and just hanging out
with Bill Belichick. She wants to control his his pr
and it's been a nightmare for him. So now he's
sort of trying to clean things up, and good luck,
it'll probably end up in just a breakup or whatever.
But this is why. Look I tell my son and
(26:23):
his friends. Mary a smart seven point five. Okay, it's like.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
How I met your mother. You have the hot crazy scale, right.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yes, that's exactly what it is. Once you get above
seven point five, you get to eight, eight point five,
nine tens. Too much trouble, Yes, too much trouble, man,
Mary a smart seven point five. George Clooney married a
really smart seven point five Hillary Clinton. Look, Bill Clinton's
a stud as you can get, right, he married a
six still married to her. Of course we all know
(26:56):
his story. But yes, Mary a seven point five, that's
the Uh. Some people are like, you're an idiot, but
that look there are some windows there, okay, and some
truth to that. But once you get into the fours
and fives, then you're you know, you want a seven
point a smart seven point five to help tell you
what to do every once in a while, right, and
(27:16):
now I made that mistake. I married at ten.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Oh look at you just casually getting around then.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
But remember we got divorced after seven, got remarried at
eight and a half and been happy ever since.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
But so now things got down to a seven point five, right.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
It looks no, she is not, She's a ten. Uh
And that's what was my mistake, the ten. You know. Right.
We have really not talked about Sean Diddy Coombe's trial.
It's going on right now. Don Richards returns to testify today.
(27:54):
The jury we'll hear here talk about she was witnessed
to the physical and emotional abuse that the girl and had.
But nothing up until this point says go to prison.
Yet we have not heard any testimony that talks about
these champagne parties, that talks about these rapes, that talks
about what he did at these parties. We have a
(28:16):
lot of video online of girls that are saying this, this,
and this. They haven't testified or I don't even know
if they're going to call them. You know what I
said last week, billionaires do not go to prison. Millionaires.
Do you got a hundred million dollars you got a
chance going to prison? If you're a billionaire, they just
don't go to prison. Tell me the billionaire that went
(28:38):
to prison when you have that much money, it's just
in your favor. So I again, I'm going to hold
to the fact that Sean Diddy Coombs does no time.
He might, you know, he might have to pay out
for he's probably in for trials for the next ten
years of civil trials. But just America says, if you're
(29:01):
a billionaire, you're not going to jail. And he's miserable.
That dude owns a forty eight million dollar house in Miami,
just one of them of his house is forty eight
million dollar house in Miami, and he is in prison
in New York and he is miserable. He looks terrible
at these trials. But we really haven't covered that. We're
trying to keep up on that if we get some testimony,
(29:22):
and again I'm not sure what we've heard yet gets
him convicted of what he is, but I hope that
at some point the truth will come out. And these
people that were at the champagne party, and again a
lot of the witnesses that have testimony are saying, I
don't drink, so I didn't drink the champagne which supposedly
had I allegedly had these drugs in it, so they
(29:45):
were like, I don't drink, so I didn't drink and
I watched how all this went down. So I haven't
yet to see if that's going to be on the
roll call, but we will see. Taylor Swift now subpoena
for the legal battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively,
which is going to to be a mess. There are
two separate trials right now that are getting planned to go.
(30:06):
And Taylor Swift, she is very savvy and she's a
billionaire and she's been through this court thing before because
some stupid Denver DJ grabbed her butt at a backstage
thing and he lost his job. She handled that with
such grace and testified. People forget that trial. But her
(30:26):
lawyer said you shouldn't testify, and she goes, oh no, no, no,
I'm going to testify. And then she ate his lawyers
for lunch during the trial because the mom had called
the radio station and said, I don't want a pound
of flesh. I'm just telling you what your DJ did,
and they fired him. He sued, and then she counter
sewed for a dollar and one. It was very impressive. Actually,
it switched me out on Taylor Swift. I was like,
(30:48):
that's impressive. So I don't know. She's saying, I had
no dealings with this movie. And I think her relationship
with Blake Lively clearly is damaged, and I don't know
if they're going to be the same. But this she's
taken the worse on this because justin Baldoni. And again
I keep up on it because my daughter, she loves
(31:09):
Taylor Swift and all this, but she he has all
these text messages, so every accusation she's made, he goes,
here's the text messages, not true. It's crazy. I think
she would love to go back in time and say, yeah,
we probably don't want to do this. And her husband
can't be happy about this all either, and he included
(31:29):
I don't know if you saw the movie. Did you
see the.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Was it Deadpool?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Deadpool with Wolverine?
Speaker 2 (31:35):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
They throw in a character that's supposed to be Baldoni, okay,
with a hit with the long hair, and he's so
super nice, he's that super nice Deadpool guy and they
make they mock him through the movie, and that's supposed
to be Baldoni, and it's now that's coming out, like, okay,
maybe another four hundred million dollar lawsuit is crazy. Memorial
(31:58):
Day is coming up all week from today. Only half
of Americans realize what the original meeting was, which is
for our fallen military service members. Most just treated as
a cookout in a day off, which is whatever. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I feel like so many people get Memorial Day, Labor Day,
and Veterans Day mixed, all confused. Correct.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Veterans Day is just anybody it served, Yes, Memorial Day
is to remember the fallen military. They gave the ultimate
price for freedom in the United States. So cookouts will
be there. You already go into Kroger and Target and whatever,
and you see all the everything's. You know, you got
the buns for sale, the burgers for sale. Twenty four
(32:45):
percent are traveling on the holiday, so things have slowed
down on the travel side of things. People just don't
feel comfortable about the economy right now, so they're just saying, ah,
we're going to hold off, We'm stay home. Gas are fine,
but I think hotel prices, and especially because most places
(33:07):
Moial Day jack up their prices, hotels now are a
little insane. I mean they're a little insane. You could
get a good hotel for about one hundred and twenty
just a couple of years ago, and now it's two twenty,
it's to forty. And then now they get you every
little thing. So a normal parking lot where you just
would park, now they're charging thirty four dollars a day
(33:28):
for parking. It's like we're in the suburbs.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
This is why everybody does goes to the Airbnb route nowadays.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
That is that we haven't done that. We almost did
it this weekend, but we've never done it. I just
I'm fifty six years old. I found it weird sleeping
in somebody else's house.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
You have to find the right ones, right There are
some very sketchy ones, and it's not just Airbnb, there's
some sketchy ones on the other ones as well. But
you kind of have to do your scouting and make
sure you get the place that's gonna really suit what
you're looking for.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
And when you become a dad like you have, you
will become suspect of everyone trips. When you stopping a
gas your job is to put gas in the car
as the dad, and then head on a swivel of
everyone that's at the gas station because your kids are
running the bathroom. Your wife is taking the daughter into
the bathroom. So you are keeping your head. You know,
(34:15):
you see the people standing by the sunglass. It's a
little thing, and good, what are you up to? So
that's your job because your brain just goes to that.
So I just go. If I'm going to stand in,
we haven't done it in a verbo or whatever it is,
because I don't trust is there cameras in here?
Speaker 2 (34:32):
That's true?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
How clean?
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Is?
Speaker 2 (34:33):
The best ones to do is people who just have
a condo and they just turn it into an Airbnb
slash Verbo. So it just feels natural to do that.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Yeah, but there is something that just don't trust it.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
To somebody's house who just put on an addition. Let's say,
here's the Airbnb portion of our house. That's weird.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
That is weird. And again I have I'm unfounded, I
have no evidence, or just my dad brain says, hmm,
I'm just stay in the hotel, even though the prices
for hotels are crazy. But the best thing is if
you have a spouse or somebody in the family that
travels a lot, for their business. You know, we acquire
those points. Marriott is awesome. It's like I think, when
(35:10):
she stays out three nights, we get a night. So
most of our hotel stays the last ten years or so,
we just use points. It's awesome. My buddies do that too,
because they travel a lot. Just boom, get the website up,
and then the hotel's near. You come up and they go,
this one costs ten thousand points, this one's twenty. You go, boom,
free night, not even taxes, it's all done. It's kind
(35:34):
of nice. Dwight is out for a couple of days.
We'll be here. We already got one hour in the
books on a Monday. Everyone is tired. Look I get
the graduations and run around and doing all that, and
then I didn't see a lot of traffic today. So
schools obviously, less schools, less school buses, less people trying
to drive their kids to school. And that means we
(35:55):
forget how easy the traffic is in the summer in
this town. And I will enjoy it. All right, We're
gonna take a short break. We'll come back.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
We're good. We're still here. That's my fault.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Oh okay, gotcha. Allen Electric six three six help is
the phone number. Give them a call. I just got
a DM from a young lady in PRP. She had
her electric out for a couple of days and said,
what is that company with the generator? So I got it.
That's not her voice, that's the voice I put into her.
I said, look, call Allen Electric. It's Generac generators. They
(36:28):
sent their entire team up there to the Generac warehouse
to find out exactly how to install them and how
to work on them. So if you're going to if
you're sick of losing electricity where you live, get the
Generac generator okay, and it runs off the natural gas.
It powers your old house. You'll be done. You don't
even have to turn it on. It automatically comes on
when your electricity goes out. It is crazy. You don't
(36:49):
have that loud hum going on, or we have to
go to the gas station and fill up your generator
and only runs the refrigerator and something else. This thing
is encased, it looks great on the side of your
house and it runs your home. So Generaic generator at
Allen Electric six three six help is the number. Back
