Speaker 1 (00:00):
Get Out, Get Out John Shannon. It's making me upset.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
John.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
There's too many John's. Technically I'm a John.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Too many Shannon. It's got Shannon, John, Shannon and Shannon
the Dude.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
It's confusing for people.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
A couple of Tony's as well.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yeah, it's not good. I want to remind everybody Saint
Matthew's turned seventy five. You know what I say. Once
you get in the seven, you can't get out of
the O seven. Inappropriately. It's June seventh at Brown Park.
They have It's like the Concert that Never was John.
(00:37):
So we have one Irish Rover, which is a Van
Morrison tribute, pretty cool, the Heart of Rock and Roll,
a Huey Lewis band, Cheryl Rous bands they play, she
plays like a Motown stuff like that. The Rigby's play
a tribute to the Beatles. So we have the Beatles,
Huey Lewis in the news, Van Morrison, and then this,
(00:59):
that and the other that was a big band in
the nineteen eighties and nineties.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
That would be a sellout stadium tour if it was
the actual band.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I know, I know, it'll be pretty cool. And it
starts with the I think it starts with the Beatles band,
So it's noon to ten in Brown Park. It starts
at ten am with like yoga and stuff like that.
They have events all day long, plenty of food, plenty
of beer, lots of fun. Saint Matthew's June seventh, Saint
Matthew's seventy fifth anniversary. All right, so we're going to
(01:30):
reset some of the stories that we've had all morning long,
including more questions than answers about the diagnosis of former
President Joe Biden and cancer that has spread to his bones.
The only good thing that can come out of that
is people going to get the prostate checked. Watch out
for your PSA. Once you get older, you really hone
(01:51):
in on that PSA number. The lower the number, the
better it is. I've had a I can tell you
I've had a one point four consistently for last the
last ten years because I do test on testosterone replacement
and sometimes that Jack's that number up. It never moved.
It's been one point four through all of my testosterone
for ten years, so you'll keep an on it. The
(02:13):
higher the number. I believe the President's was nine, so
mine was one point four. I believe it was reported
as nine. Interesting though in his last fitness his fitness exam,
they conveniently left out the PSA number. Huh. I wonder
(02:34):
why he did that. How long have they known? We
were more? This is a surprise to everybody, And of course,
thoughts and prayers to Jill and the President in his
speedy recovery, obviously, because that's a tough cancer in the bones.
That's a tough one at eighty to two. Man, that
is not for the meek, and he's gonna have to
(02:57):
deal with that. So we think about him. But it's
it's not his fault them covering up what's going on
for the last couple of years as his presidency. And
this will open the door for some sort of investigation, now,
mind you. I will begin by saying this will not
matter whatever they find. There won't be any charges. There
won't be any There might be a public flogging, but
(03:19):
nothing will come out of it. But I think it's
important if the president of the United States doesn't know
what room he's in and people covered it up, and
a bunch of twenty two year olds ran the country,
that would answer a lot of questions on stupid policies.
Call me crazy. I kind of want to know if
(03:39):
the president of the United States, from moment to moment
doesn't know what he's doing. And clearly that's why they
hit him for so long. He didn't do press conferences
for the longest time, and then when he did that,
he would answer certain questions. He would only answer certain
questions because they knew he was the lessons were coming,
(04:00):
and then he would leave. But then a lot of
times you see the videos. How many times you see
the videos where he's going to one side and then
he wanders over to the other and he doesn't know
where to go.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
It's I don't have a ton of thoughts because I didn't.
I'm not super plugged into politics the way that a
lot of people in the station are. I do keep
up with it. I know his embarrassment, and as somebody
who I'll say it voted for Biden, it was an
embarrassment to see it happen that way. I would not
have voted for him a second time if he kept running.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
They crossed their fingers, They tried to prep him, but
now there are reports that he during the prep for
the embarrassment of a press conference or I'm sorry, debate
with Biden or with Trump. He wandered off to the
pool and fell asleep during the prep and then the
(04:53):
disaster of a debate forced their hands. And to tell
you the truth, I mean, if he doesn't, if he
wakes up, you know, they give him some sort of shot,
he wakes up for two hours and kills it. Maybe
he wins, and then they have to announce that he
(05:15):
has a step down. And then and then they have
Kamala as the as the president. But that's not what happened.
I don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican. This
is important if Trump starts to go that way to
where he's wandering off stage or doesn't know where he is.
We want to know who's running the country in making
these policy decisions that clearly were way out of bounds.
(05:41):
The immigration policy was out of bounds. Nobody made sense.
They're like, why is this is what is going on?
This might make sense? There were other people running the country.
So I'll let it go. Nothing will come out of this,
by the way, so they'll so let's they let's say
they investigate, you find out. Yeah, here's the date where
his fit evaluation said his faculties have lowered to this
(06:05):
level and at that point they should have done something,
but his wife just kept pushing him out and propping
him up. So they'll figure all that out. Maybe a
public flogging. Whatever people say, yes or no, nothing, nothing serious.
Won't be any charges. Here's the cool story of the day.
We started the show with this. Dixie Dumouth had a
(06:27):
bar called Dixie's Elbowroom. Believe it or not, there was
a day in this country, even into the nineteen sixties,
where a woman couldn't go in and get a drink
at a bar. I know all women now are going
what So Dixie hired a female bartender to serve a
drink to a female sitting at the bar. Obviously, ABC
(06:50):
or whoever is in charge said no, no pull or license. Yesterday,
the first installation of Louisville's Metro Historical Marker program commemorated
and this trailblazer, Dixie Damouth. It's at five twenty five
South Fifth Street. We discussed and by the way, she
just passed away a couple of years ago. She was
(07:12):
one hundred and two. This story fascinates me because it's
just a part of Americana at the time. And yes,
your twenty twenty five. Brain is broken thinking women couldn't
go in a bar. But at the time, in the
forties and fifties and sixties, women were not in the
(07:35):
workforce like they are now. Their job right or wrong
or whatever, And a lot of people think it was
better that way. Women got out of high school, got married,
had kids, and then they weren't supposed to be in
a bar. So people there wasn't an issue because people
went no. Of course, Hell, if you saw a woman driving,
(07:55):
you don't even know this women, You're like, what do
you mean she's driving a car? Because a lot of
times families had one car. Dad took the car to work.
When is she gonna drive? So it was just a
different setup. So as much as this sounds that's crazy
a woman couldn't go any sit in a bar, it's
just the time. It was the time. If women were moms,
(08:17):
you didn't want your mom in a bar. That was
the deal. Well, divorces happened, the seventies happened, women started working.
Now they're making a ton of money. Now you're thinking,
are you crazy? What do you mean not go to
a bar? And I told a story earlier when I
was in rock radio in the late eighties' early nineties.
That was the concept and the goal of every bar.
(08:40):
How do we get the girls here so the boys
will follow? Well, the girls had one price drink and
the boys would have another. It was crazy. Girls would
pay a dollar for a long neck and boys would
pay three or four. And here's the thing. I don't
remember anybody complaining, like there shouldn't have been guys. Shouldn't
there have been guys that said, wait a minute, why
(09:02):
does she pay a dollar and I pay three? This
is not right. No one said a word.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Plus, you also didn't have the tox success pool that
was social media.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
That's where all the complaining would have taken place.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You didn't care because they were pretty girls in the room. Yeah,
I'll pay three. I'm good with that. But it's crazy.
How just thirty years so Dixie's Elbowroom by the way, again,
cool name, Dixie's Elbowroom. I want to go back in
time and go get a drink at Dixie's Elbow Room.
And I might drive by five twenty five South History
(09:37):
just to see this thing. So the mayor was out
there yesterday. It's the first one. It's called the Louisville
Metro Historical Marker Program. It's going to commemorate trailblazers. So Dixie,
that's you. Congratulations and to her family her daughter was
there yesterday. That is awesome. We also talked about Jeffson
(09:57):
County Public Schools. They have passed that they're going to
be no cell phones next year. We're gonna see how
that goes. I'm not sure that that's gonna be really,
it might go smooth and kids are just gonna go okay.
But right now I'm looking at all the comments, like
you said, John online the toxic online or is it?
(10:19):
Parents are like, no, my kids goes to this school.
They're always on the lockdown. I need to have my
kid has to have a phone. I don't know what
the rules going.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Here's another thing too, We didn't talk about this in
the first hour. What are the odds, not even what
are the odds how many of these families will move
out of the district between now in the beginning of
the next school year.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Everybody's been trying to get to Oldham County anyway. I mean,
there's no better friend to a real estate agent in
Oldham County than Jefferson County public schools average price I
think in Jefferson County for a house is two fifty ish.
In Old County it's over three. Why because three of
(10:58):
the best schools in the state are in little, little,
tiny Oldham County. All three are in the top ten.
It's crazy, So of course you're trying to fight to
get out to Oldham County. That's where their houses are
worth way more. I brought this up the other day,
and I don't think Dwight understood the question. I said,
(11:22):
I just does this seem like a big number or
a small number. I just see this and I go, hey,
it's the beginning, and we're all going to be in
these driverless ubers and taxis. We're all going to be
in ten years. We're just not even gonna think and
get in because right now, a quarter of a million
people a week, quarter of a million people a week
(11:45):
are in driverless or uber cars. I thought that number
was huge when I read it. Am I wrong?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I think it's pretty big.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I think it's big. I think that's a big number
because I thought it was just kind of weird when
you see somebody video and that's the big thing that
was videoing. San Francisco's had them for years. When we
were out there with John, it was they were everywhere.
They were everywhere, and you could tell why they had
that little thing on the top. They have nineteen cameras
around the cars. It was driverless. You just get in,
(12:17):
pulls up, you get in, it's already got your location.
You're going too. And I think in ten years, because
we got to look back on when you know the
new norm just you know, snap your fingers. The new
norm happens. Change doesn't happen slowly. It's just a snap
of a finger and you'll get used to it. I
remember having a conversation on another radio show whether men
(12:39):
should text other men like it was weird, Like texting
was weird. Should I should I bring my phone in
the bathroom? Like people are like, of course not, are
you crazy? Don't take your iPad on the phone into
your bathroom. Now most people cannot go to the bathroom
(13:00):
without their device. New norm happens, snap a finger. It's over,
just the new norm. And that's where I think this
as weird? Is it going to be because you haven't
been in one? Right?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
An uber?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
A driverless car?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
No? Well, fun fact, I've never been in an uber either,
but I've never been in a driverless car.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Uber's fantastic, dude. The longest I've waited for an uber
is four minutes.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
That's not wrong at all.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
They whip up it in gone and there's no tip
because you've already tipped on the app, right, you can
even set it whatever. But you know, in a lot
of times there's no talking. You just get in the car.
It's paid for the tips there, it's just a ride.
(13:46):
It's like riding with somebody that's pissed at you. They
don't want to talk to you.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
So that's uncomfortable, though I like it, and of course
we do that if we've had a couple of beers, right,
and I want to talk, So where are you're from?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I'm the insurance commercial guy, Oh what's that lie? And
I'm annoying. But if I'm sober and in an uber,
I don't talk. I'm on my phone or I'm just
going I don't want to just get me where I'm going.
But literally, it's the longest I've waited for an ubers
for four minutes. But this driverless thing, they're gonna be everywhere.
(14:21):
People are just gonna get in. It will become the
new norm so quickly, and I'm ready, and I think
you're right. Two hundred and fifty thousand people is that's
a big number right now. I think that's a lot
of people for the novelty it is. But that will change.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Maybe they're all concentrated in one area like Los Angeles
or something.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
And well, California. Everything go to California, dude. And you know,
once the science gets better and better and better. I mean,
you've got computer chips that the wires and all that
are the size of atoms. Like at some point you
can't get smaller. You're gonna have to figure out how
(15:01):
to do that. And again it keeps getting I mean,
quantum computers is changed everything. AI changed everything. These cars
will be way more safer than somebody behind the wheel.
Promise you that people are like, no, I gotta have
a human there, Are you sure? Because humans drive like crap.
Computers can stop whatever. The scariest thing was that guy
(15:23):
the driverless car that stopped under the underpass and then
locked the doors, and the guy was stuck in with
his family on a damn expressway. I'm smashing windows at
that point, all right short break. We'll come back rolling
through it. Tuesday is it's gotten really dark and Gotham
(15:44):
City down here downtown. We're at four Street live and
I can see all the way down through four Street.
Muhammad Ali is right there. Because our window is huge,
I can see all of it. It's dark and it's
just gonna be like that all day. Vision First eyecare,
Vision firsticare dot com. I'm getting an appointment. Here's how
I when I go in, I have new client. I've
talked to them a while, but I watched how. I
(16:06):
watched for a while how they treat everyone else. And
they are just the best. They're so sweet and nice,
and they take you through this thing and the examination
is not like the old days. It's an MRI of
your eyeballs. They take it four seconds each eye. There's
no droplets, none of that. And then you get tested.
They do a little tests and they can give you
the test a piece of paper to take to the
(16:28):
driver's license folks, if you need it. Vision firstiicare dot com.
They have like fifteen hundred different frames. They make the frames.
It's crazy awesome. They have these experts that say, hey, Tony,
your head is kind of round in fat. These glasses
fit perfectly. They won't say that to you because that's
not what they said. But Vision firstiicare dot com. Get
an appointment. They have eighteen locations. All right, Vision First,
(16:50):
I care back after this on NewsRadio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Go ahead hate it?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
This is sleep Token. They became sleep Tooken. It became
the second rock band. Yeah, three weeks called the Billboard
two hundred. It hadn't been done in four years.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Sleep Tooken. Now this you know their fans just call them,
Just call them the Token, the Sleepers. You going to
see token. Don't you mean sleep Tooken? Oh no, a
super fans call them Token.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I will say, though, this doesn't really sound like rock
music if.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
You're style, no it isn't.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
That's fine, But if it counts and tops the charts,
then you know, shout out to them.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Don't get mad at me people, all right, your kids
are wearing Pink Floyd and led Zeppelin shirts. They're not
wearing the new rock band t shirts.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Bro, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
They don't get mad at me.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
A lot of the lot of the kids who don't
even listen to that type of music. They just think
it's a clothing brand now, right, that's Nirvana is like
just a hot topic brand or something like that.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
It is though when you get it. Because my kid
was about twelve and I hurt him listening to led
Zeppelin and I slapped the phone out of his hand.
I said, you're out ready for led Zeppelin? He was
like laughing, Ago, I'm not kidding. Led Zeppelin is a
to write a passage and everyone goes through. They used to.
They don't do it anymore, and I'm cool with that,
(18:13):
but everybody used to do their led Zeppelin stage.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
What is the led Zeppelin stage?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
If there's you just get into led Zeppelin because their
music there's just songs that you just get into and
they've got a movie and all that, and you're just
you get into it. Pink Floyd, there's a Pink Floyd phase.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Where you just play one note on a guitar for
about thirty seconds without changing it. They are, hey, now
that's what for Pink Floyd is.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, it's interesting because you hear them talk now and
they're like, we could never recreate that because all of
us were in such dark places in our lives. I
always people yell at me. But I always say it
the best rock music, the best music, best art comes
from pain and despair, and it's all blues based. He
called do you think he called blues? Because it all
(19:03):
comes from misfortune, alcohol, drug addiction, pain the best music.
A lot of these guys can't write a good song
or a meaningful song. After they get married, they make
millions of dollars and have kids, they're happy. They're just like, Okay,
I can't I can't get that because you can't get
back to your twenties, or you just hate everything. At
(19:26):
least those people were in those modes, right, So it's
think about it. The best art comes from the weirdest,
messed up, narcissist, crazy, reclusive artists. Right. If you meet
a normal guy, right, hey, hey, he's not an artist.
(19:50):
Are you're not buying his art? He painted a tree.
But the messed up dudes, those are the and they
all die broke because they're messed up and they're but
they make the great art.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Again, I always go back to if we talked about
nineties grunge earlier. Three of the four lead singers from
the Big four bands, you know, Soundgarden Alison Shane's, Pearl
Jam and Nirvana. Three of those four lead singers are
not with us anymore.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
They hated themselves, Dude, I was there. They hated themselves,
they hated their own success, they hated they were millionaires.
It was crazy. But they were producing. Oh my gosh,
they were producing such great music. It was about a
seven year period. It was just killer. Every album was
(20:37):
just awesome, from Smashing Pumpkins to Soundgarden, That Sound Garden
super Unknown. We played eight songs off one album. We
went eight deep on one album. It was like, I
kept calling it the perfect album because we've I don't
I can't name you another album where we played eight
songs offen It's as a matter of fact, I'm gonna
(20:58):
bet I'd bet a thousand dollars that radio would. There's
not another album that radio played eight songs off an album,
even the Big Ones, even the Beatles. Maybe the Wide
Album then Stung.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You only had eight songs on an album.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, I mean it was That's super Unknown was a
huge album. It was crazy and they because they all
these bands followed up with great albums and then did
another one. It was crazy. Pearl Jam, we didn't know
after ten if they were gonna be able to do it,
and then they can. I mean they kept doing it,
but they all they all dressed in Uh. It was
a lot like the sixties. Man. It was just like
(21:34):
they all you know, Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
It was glorify the glorification of being dirty, kind of
like you said earlier.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, yeah, they didn't take showers. They were dirty, and
they hated themselves. It was crazy. And then you're right.
Three of the four Eddie Vederson one left yep.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Chris Cornell passed what yeah, seven eight years ago. Daily
was in the late nineties, and then before that it
was Kurt Cobain.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah. I used to joke with auditorium in our last
studios off Newburgh, I named it the Layte Stay Memorial Auditorium.
People did not think that was funny. There's a social dilemma.
You've ever thought about house flipping?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I would never do it, but it's cool that people
do do it.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
When we first had kids, we were like, we need
some more streams because we were not making money. We're
making now because we're older, but we were really young
and we weren't making We needed more money. We're like,
if we're going to send our kids to these schools,
and we want to do this, We're to do stuff.
So we went and met with the bank guy I
think it was Republic or whatever, whoever it was, and
they were very nice. But the guy that was pitching
us about this house flipping. And this is before two
(22:44):
thousand and eight when the crash happened and everything fell apart,
and it was like a year before. It's like two
thousand and seven. John one had been four and Maggie
had been like one or two. So I the guy
kept saying, it's just paperwork. You're going to sell the
house before you even make your first payment on this house.
(23:05):
But what stuck with me when he said it's just paperwork.
And we left the meeting and I said, you or not.
Neither one of us are construction guys. We don't know
how to hang drywall or whatever if something needs to
be fixed up or whatever with a flipping house, right
and if you're flipping the house, not flipping house. But
(23:27):
I left. We got in the car and I said,
you know what what got me was in and he
said it's just paper and I was like, no, it's
one hundred and seventy thousand dollars but at the time,
they were lending money to anyone, like if you had
a driver's license and you had a job more than
two weeks, they were lending you whatever you wanted, and
they were gonna lend us whatever you wanted to buy
(23:48):
a house and flip it. But what got me was
his talk was it's just paperwork, and I was like, no,
it's not. If there's something wrong with the house, it's
one hundred and seventy thousand dollars loan. So we didn't
do it, thank god, because there were so many homebuilders
at the time. My wife sold brick for a company
(24:09):
called Lead, Brick and Block, and they she sold to
homebuilders and everyone was a home builder, like everybody did
it everyone. Then there was houses popping up everywhere. It
was crazy. So we thought, well, let's get in the
game because we knew some people. I didn't know what
they were doing, and they were doing it right, so
we're like, okay, but that kind of hit me. So
that kind of died people do that. The people that
are successful at house flipping are handy. They know electrical work,
(24:33):
they know a little bit about plumbing, they know a
little bit about everything, and then they can fix stuff
at the house, and you never know what you're gonna get,
what's behind that wall, whatever, what the market's going to do.
So I never we never got into Thank god, I
look back, I'm knocking on wood right now. Thank god
we didn't do that at the time, because it's not paper,
it's one hundred and seventy thousand. Because at the time
(24:54):
that was about that was a good price house two
thousand and seven, and we were gonna flip house. We
were idiots. This young parents idiots. We were idiots, but
we were smart enough to walk away and go Nah,
I don't think so. So this guy writes Tyson, Uh,
he asked his son quit college. He's got a nineteen
(25:16):
year old that has decided that one year college is
enough and that his future lies in how's flipping. He's
calling it easy money and now suggesting that I take
the money I was going to use for his tuition
and give it to him to help buy a house
and flip it. And he's gonna make millions. So he's
(25:36):
asking online on Reddit whether he should do that. He goes, now,
this is a kid that quit college and he doesn't
know a lot about construction or anything about construction and
plays call of duty more than anything. This is the
problem with parents today. He's asking the question. I don't
(25:59):
want to wash someone's dreams, not someone at your son,
but those dreams have to have some basis in reality. No, duh, tyson,
The answers. No, if you quit college, that's it. It
was a gift that I was going to give you
to be able to pay for college, so you don't
have college debt like all your friends. But if you quit,
(26:22):
you don't get that money. You don't get This is
the way the kid's brains work. Well, I dropt out
of college. Give me that extra seventy five K that
you were gonna spend, But now you don't have to
spend it. Dad, That was the kid's voice. But this
is so dumb. I would I'd laugh. I would laugh
(26:43):
until I walked out of the room. If one of
my kids asked that, no, are you kidding? I wouldn't
even say no because they would know the answer. No,
that's crazy. Your nineteen year old son, no knowledge of construction,
gonna start flipping houses. The mindset is crazy. Well, you
owe me that money anyway. I was going to go
to college and now I'm not going. No, that's not
(27:05):
how it works. So Tyson, I think you have your number.
I mean when he says, but you know, there's no
basis in reality. I think he's answering his own question there.
But it's crazy. That's nuts. Don't do it, but flipping houses.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I'm not handy at all, so there's I could do
basic things, but there's no way out ever dabbling plumbing
or electrical work or any of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
No. I got a friend that is a carpenter. He
buys the house, he moves into it. He's single, and
he does all the work and he makes it look
great because a trim carpenter, and he makes all the
shelves and the bookshelves, and he makes this ornate stuff
that's just gorgeous. So he's adding to the value while
he lives there. And then he either rents it or
(27:51):
he sells it. And he does really good job. But
that's his career, that's his life. He's my age, so
he knows what he's doing. And doing trim carpeting for
like forty years, it's crazy. So they know what they're doing. No,
you can't do that. It's not as simple as it's
just paper now, oh, it's not that's alone. Don't do that.
(28:12):
Map Security. If you do have a house, go to
Maps Residential dot Com, give them a get online, and
then give them a call. They're going to come out
and install the greatest security system you've ever seen on
your home. And you can't afford not to anymore because
my neighborhood one break in in like fifteen years, and
(28:34):
now we get one every week. I've had four cars
stolen in Saint Matthew's in the last year within twenty houses.
Circle of mind. It's crazy. So you can't afford it anymore.
You've got to have the security system, and Maps Residential
dot Com will do it. It's a local outfit and
this security system is next level Star Trek stuff. You're
(28:55):
not gonna believe it, So definitely get Maps Residential. They'll
throw in an Alexa system for free. All right back
after this real quick news Radio eight forty wachs Oh,
you picked.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
One of the super Unknown one of the tracks from
from that album. They played eight from.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
We played eight songs off that album. Guarantee that's a record.
And then a couple of them put another band together
to raise money.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Audio Slave or Dog or something. No audio slave was
those Cornells.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
That was Rage against the Machine and Chris Cornell. Yes,
it was cool because the lead singer of Rage was
They were like, man, we were so sick of his politics.
We're like, we just want to play dude. But they
but they formed another band, uh to just raise money
for food in Seattle, Oh.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Thost, Temple of the Dog.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
It was Hunger Strike. It was a huge hit and
they were just screwing around. Let's do song for like
hungry people. I'm going hungry trying to find it, hung man,
all right, while you're finding it. I changed my life
six months ago when I installed from BK Plumbing Supply
(30:23):
a Toto toilet system. It's not even a toilet. I
feel bad even saying toilet. It is a bidet system.
It is very intricate. The seat is heated, it's all together.
It all comes together. It has a remote. I can
pull it off the wall, control the streak. It is
a bidet. You could control two different types of stream.
(30:44):
The temperature of the water you could control. And it
has a hair dryer down there. It's only the best
way I can. You know what it's got, So after
you're done, you push the it's got a little waves. You
push that button and it drives your under carriage. Whoop,
toilet paper, bye bye. All right. When you walk up
to it, the seat goes and this blue light sanitizes
(31:06):
the bowl and it sprints the water because and it
has a blue light to sanitize it before you go
to the bathroom. Because that's what you deserve. The toto
go to BK a plumbing supply. Of course, the owner's
name is John. He sells toilets. He sells a lot
more than that, but this toilet is next level. Awkwall
(31:28):
four check them out, call them fifty nine hundred. Call
them four fifty nine hundred. Right now, ask for Amy
or John and say what is the toilet? Vinetti? Has
it changed my life? My wife wasn't sure at first,
and now she's like, that's I can't. That's unbelievable because
they have two different streams for the girls and the boys.
(31:51):
You have a little boy picture and a girl picture,
and you obviously pick which one. Of course, we don't
see gender on the show. BK Plumbing Supply there. This
was a huge hit, raised a lot of money for food.
They were socially active, but didn't hit you over the
(32:14):
head with it, right. It feels like now they're not
trying to make you feel like.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
You're a jerk, like this was entertainment. This was entertainment
or like something you you have a fire pit going
in your backyard, yes, and you're listening to this.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Oh all day. It was great. It was a great
era to grow up in. Man. I was in my twenties.
It was great to be in my twenties for that.
All right, good show today, john It it really all
started with Tony Cruz. Earlier today he had an hour
with Oscar Combs, the great Oscar Combs, the cat Paul's guy.
He's been around forever, all the way back to rough
(32:50):
and it was very entertaining. And I'm glad they're bringing
people in because Tony Cruz is retiring in about six
days or so, when Nick Coffee and company are going
to take over. All right, I will see you too tomorrow, hompday, Johnny,
have a great one. Don't be careful driving home, all
of you, be careful driving home. News Radio eight forty
w h as he later
Get Out, Get Out John Shannon. It's making me upset.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
John.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
There's too many John's. Technically I'm a John.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Too many Shannon. It's got Shannon, John, Shannon and Shannon
the Dude.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
It's confusing for people.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
A couple of Tony's as well.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yeah, it's not good. I want to remind everybody Saint
Matthew's turned seventy five. You know what I say. Once
you get in the seven, you can't get out of
the O seven. Inappropriately. It's June seventh at Brown Park.
They have It's like the Concert that Never was John.
(00:37):
So we have one Irish Rover, which is a Van
Morrison tribute, pretty cool, the Heart of Rock and Roll,
a Huey Lewis band, Cheryl Rous bands they play, she
plays like a Motown stuff like that. The Rigby's play
a tribute to the Beatles. So we have the Beatles,
Huey Lewis in the news, Van Morrison, and then this,
(00:59):
that and the other that was a big band in
the nineteen eighties and nineties.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
That would be a sellout stadium tour if it was
the actual band.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I know, I know, it'll be pretty cool. And it
starts with the I think it starts with the Beatles band,
So it's noon to ten in Brown Park. It starts
at ten am with like yoga and stuff like that.
They have events all day long, plenty of food, plenty
of beer, lots of fun. Saint Matthew's June seventh, Saint
Matthew's seventy fifth anniversary. All right, so we're going to
(01:30):
reset some of the stories that we've had all morning long,
including more questions than answers about the diagnosis of former
President Joe Biden and cancer that has spread to his bones.
The only good thing that can come out of that
is people going to get the prostate checked. Watch out
for your PSA. Once you get older, you really hone
(01:51):
in on that PSA number. The lower the number, the
better it is. I've had a I can tell you
I've had a one point four consistently for last the
last ten years because I do test on testosterone replacement
and sometimes that Jack's that number up. It never moved.
It's been one point four through all of my testosterone
for ten years, so you'll keep an on it. The
(02:13):
higher the number. I believe the President's was nine, so
mine was one point four. I believe it was reported
as nine. Interesting though in his last fitness his fitness exam,
they conveniently left out the PSA number. Huh. I wonder
(02:34):
why he did that. How long have they known? We
were more? This is a surprise to everybody, And of course,
thoughts and prayers to Jill and the President in his
speedy recovery, obviously, because that's a tough cancer in the bones.
That's a tough one at eighty to two. Man, that
is not for the meek, and he's gonna have to
(02:57):
deal with that. So we think about him. But it's
it's not his fault them covering up what's going on
for the last couple of years as his presidency. And
this will open the door for some sort of investigation, now,
mind you. I will begin by saying this will not
matter whatever they find. There won't be any charges. There
won't be any There might be a public flogging, but
(03:19):
nothing will come out of it. But I think it's
important if the president of the United States doesn't know
what room he's in and people covered it up, and
a bunch of twenty two year olds ran the country,
that would answer a lot of questions on stupid policies.
Call me crazy. I kind of want to know if
(03:39):
the president of the United States, from moment to moment
doesn't know what he's doing. And clearly that's why they
hit him for so long. He didn't do press conferences
for the longest time, and then when he did that,
he would answer certain questions. He would only answer certain
questions because they knew he was the lessons were coming,
(04:00):
and then he would leave. But then a lot of
times you see the videos. How many times you see
the videos where he's going to one side and then
he wanders over to the other and he doesn't know
where to go.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
It's I don't have a ton of thoughts because I didn't.
I'm not super plugged into politics the way that a
lot of people in the station are. I do keep
up with it. I know his embarrassment, and as somebody
who I'll say it voted for Biden, it was an
embarrassment to see it happen that way. I would not
have voted for him a second time if he kept running.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
They crossed their fingers, They tried to prep him, but
now there are reports that he during the prep for
the embarrassment of a press conference or I'm sorry, debate
with Biden or with Trump. He wandered off to the
pool and fell asleep during the prep and then the
(04:53):
disaster of a debate forced their hands. And to tell
you the truth, I mean, if he doesn't, if he
wakes up, you know, they give him some sort of shot,
he wakes up for two hours and kills it. Maybe
he wins, and then they have to announce that he
(05:15):
has a step down. And then and then they have
Kamala as the as the president. But that's not what happened.
I don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican. This
is important if Trump starts to go that way to
where he's wandering off stage or doesn't know where he is.
We want to know who's running the country in making
these policy decisions that clearly were way out of bounds.
(05:41):
The immigration policy was out of bounds. Nobody made sense.
They're like, why is this is what is going on?
This might make sense? There were other people running the country.
So I'll let it go. Nothing will come out of this,
by the way, so they'll so let's they let's say
they investigate, you find out. Yeah, here's the date where
his fit evaluation said his faculties have lowered to this
(06:05):
level and at that point they should have done something,
but his wife just kept pushing him out and propping
him up. So they'll figure all that out. Maybe a
public flogging. Whatever people say, yes or no, nothing, nothing serious.
Won't be any charges. Here's the cool story of the day.
We started the show with this. Dixie Dumouth had a
(06:27):
bar called Dixie's Elbowroom. Believe it or not, there was
a day in this country, even into the nineteen sixties,
where a woman couldn't go in and get a drink
at a bar. I know all women now are going
what So Dixie hired a female bartender to serve a
drink to a female sitting at the bar. Obviously, ABC
(06:50):
or whoever is in charge said no, no pull or license. Yesterday,
the first installation of Louisville's Metro Historical Marker program commemorated
and this trailblazer, Dixie Damouth. It's at five twenty five
South Fifth Street. We discussed and by the way, she
just passed away a couple of years ago. She was
(07:12):
one hundred and two. This story fascinates me because it's
just a part of Americana at the time. And yes,
your twenty twenty five. Brain is broken thinking women couldn't
go in a bar. But at the time, in the
forties and fifties and sixties, women were not in the
(07:35):
workforce like they are now. Their job right or wrong
or whatever, And a lot of people think it was
better that way. Women got out of high school, got married,
had kids, and then they weren't supposed to be in
a bar. So people there wasn't an issue because people
went no. Of course, Hell, if you saw a woman driving,
(07:55):
you don't even know this women, You're like, what do
you mean she's driving a car? Because a lot of
times families had one car. Dad took the car to work.
When is she gonna drive? So it was just a
different setup. So as much as this sounds that's crazy
a woman couldn't go any sit in a bar, it's
just the time. It was the time. If women were moms,
(08:17):
you didn't want your mom in a bar. That was
the deal. Well, divorces happened, the seventies happened, women started working.
Now they're making a ton of money. Now you're thinking,
are you crazy? What do you mean not go to
a bar? And I told a story earlier when I
was in rock radio in the late eighties' early nineties.
That was the concept and the goal of every bar.
(08:40):
How do we get the girls here so the boys
will follow? Well, the girls had one price drink and
the boys would have another. It was crazy. Girls would
pay a dollar for a long neck and boys would
pay three or four. And here's the thing. I don't
remember anybody complaining, like there shouldn't have been guys. Shouldn't
there have been guys that said, wait a minute, why
(09:02):
does she pay a dollar and I pay three? This
is not right. No one said a word.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Plus, you also didn't have the tox success pool that
was social media.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
That's where all the complaining would have taken place.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You didn't care because they were pretty girls in the room. Yeah,
I'll pay three. I'm good with that. But it's crazy.
How just thirty years so Dixie's Elbowroom by the way, again,
cool name, Dixie's Elbowroom. I want to go back in
time and go get a drink at Dixie's Elbow Room.
And I might drive by five twenty five South History
(09:37):
just to see this thing. So the mayor was out
there yesterday. It's the first one. It's called the Louisville
Metro Historical Marker Program. It's going to commemorate trailblazers. So Dixie,
that's you. Congratulations and to her family her daughter was
there yesterday. That is awesome. We also talked about Jeffson
(09:57):
County Public Schools. They have passed that they're going to
be no cell phones next year. We're gonna see how
that goes. I'm not sure that that's gonna be really,
it might go smooth and kids are just gonna go okay.
But right now I'm looking at all the comments, like
you said, John online the toxic online or is it?
(10:19):
Parents are like, no, my kids goes to this school.
They're always on the lockdown. I need to have my
kid has to have a phone. I don't know what
the rules going.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Here's another thing too, We didn't talk about this in
the first hour. What are the odds, not even what
are the odds how many of these families will move
out of the district between now in the beginning of
the next school year.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Everybody's been trying to get to Oldham County anyway. I mean,
there's no better friend to a real estate agent in
Oldham County than Jefferson County public schools average price I
think in Jefferson County for a house is two fifty ish.
In Old County it's over three. Why because three of
(10:58):
the best schools in the state are in little, little,
tiny Oldham County. All three are in the top ten.
It's crazy, So of course you're trying to fight to
get out to Oldham County. That's where their houses are
worth way more. I brought this up the other day,
and I don't think Dwight understood the question. I said,
(11:22):
I just does this seem like a big number or
a small number. I just see this and I go, hey,
it's the beginning, and we're all going to be in
these driverless ubers and taxis. We're all going to be
in ten years. We're just not even gonna think and
get in because right now, a quarter of a million
people a week, quarter of a million people a week
(11:45):
are in driverless or uber cars. I thought that number
was huge when I read it. Am I wrong?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I think it's pretty big.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I think it's big. I think that's a big number
because I thought it was just kind of weird when
you see somebody video and that's the big thing that
was videoing. San Francisco's had them for years. When we
were out there with John, it was they were everywhere.
They were everywhere, and you could tell why they had
that little thing on the top. They have nineteen cameras
around the cars. It was driverless. You just get in,
(12:17):
pulls up, you get in, it's already got your location.
You're going too. And I think in ten years, because
we got to look back on when you know the
new norm just you know, snap your fingers. The new
norm happens. Change doesn't happen slowly. It's just a snap
of a finger and you'll get used to it. I
remember having a conversation on another radio show whether men
(12:39):
should text other men like it was weird, Like texting
was weird. Should I should I bring my phone in
the bathroom? Like people are like, of course not, are
you crazy? Don't take your iPad on the phone into
your bathroom. Now most people cannot go to the bathroom
(13:00):
without their device. New norm happens, snap a finger. It's over,
just the new norm. And that's where I think this
as weird? Is it going to be because you haven't
been in one? Right?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
An uber?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
A driverless car?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
No? Well, fun fact, I've never been in an uber either,
but I've never been in a driverless car.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Uber's fantastic, dude. The longest I've waited for an uber
is four minutes.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
That's not wrong at all.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
They whip up it in gone and there's no tip
because you've already tipped on the app, right, you can
even set it whatever. But you know, in a lot
of times there's no talking. You just get in the car.
It's paid for the tips there, it's just a ride.
(13:46):
It's like riding with somebody that's pissed at you. They
don't want to talk to you.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
So that's uncomfortable, though I like it, and of course
we do that if we've had a couple of beers, right,
and I want to talk, So where are you're from?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I'm the insurance commercial guy, Oh what's that lie? And
I'm annoying. But if I'm sober and in an uber,
I don't talk. I'm on my phone or I'm just
going I don't want to just get me where I'm going.
But literally, it's the longest I've waited for an ubers
for four minutes. But this driverless thing, they're gonna be everywhere.
(14:21):
People are just gonna get in. It will become the
new norm so quickly, and I'm ready, and I think
you're right. Two hundred and fifty thousand people is that's
a big number right now. I think that's a lot
of people for the novelty it is. But that will change.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Maybe they're all concentrated in one area like Los Angeles
or something.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
And well, California. Everything go to California, dude. And you know,
once the science gets better and better and better. I mean,
you've got computer chips that the wires and all that
are the size of atoms. Like at some point you
can't get smaller. You're gonna have to figure out how
(15:01):
to do that. And again it keeps getting I mean,
quantum computers is changed everything. AI changed everything. These cars
will be way more safer than somebody behind the wheel.
Promise you that people are like, no, I gotta have
a human there, Are you sure? Because humans drive like crap.
Computers can stop whatever. The scariest thing was that guy
(15:23):
the driverless car that stopped under the underpass and then
locked the doors, and the guy was stuck in with
his family on a damn expressway. I'm smashing windows at
that point, all right short break. We'll come back rolling
through it. Tuesday is it's gotten really dark and Gotham
(15:44):
City down here downtown. We're at four Street live and
I can see all the way down through four Street.
Muhammad Ali is right there. Because our window is huge,
I can see all of it. It's dark and it's
just gonna be like that all day. Vision First eyecare,
Vision firsticare dot com. I'm getting an appointment. Here's how
I when I go in, I have new client. I've
talked to them a while, but I watched how. I
(16:06):
watched for a while how they treat everyone else. And
they are just the best. They're so sweet and nice,
and they take you through this thing and the examination
is not like the old days. It's an MRI of
your eyeballs. They take it four seconds each eye. There's
no droplets, none of that. And then you get tested.
They do a little tests and they can give you
the test a piece of paper to take to the
(16:28):
driver's license folks, if you need it. Vision firstiicare dot com.
They have like fifteen hundred different frames. They make the frames.
It's crazy awesome. They have these experts that say, hey, Tony,
your head is kind of round in fat. These glasses
fit perfectly. They won't say that to you because that's
not what they said. But Vision firstiicare dot com. Get
an appointment. They have eighteen locations. All right, Vision First,
(16:50):
I care back after this on NewsRadio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Go ahead hate it?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
This is sleep Token. They became sleep Tooken. It became
the second rock band. Yeah, three weeks called the Billboard
two hundred. It hadn't been done in four years.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Sleep Tooken. Now this you know their fans just call them,
Just call them the Token, the Sleepers. You going to
see token. Don't you mean sleep Tooken? Oh no, a
super fans call them Token.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I will say, though, this doesn't really sound like rock
music if.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
You're style, no it isn't.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
That's fine, But if it counts and tops the charts,
then you know, shout out to them.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Don't get mad at me people, all right, your kids
are wearing Pink Floyd and led Zeppelin shirts. They're not
wearing the new rock band t shirts.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Bro, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
They don't get mad at me.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
A lot of the lot of the kids who don't
even listen to that type of music. They just think
it's a clothing brand now, right, that's Nirvana is like
just a hot topic brand or something like that.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
It is though when you get it. Because my kid
was about twelve and I hurt him listening to led
Zeppelin and I slapped the phone out of his hand.
I said, you're out ready for led Zeppelin? He was
like laughing, Ago, I'm not kidding. Led Zeppelin is a
to write a passage and everyone goes through. They used to.
They don't do it anymore, and I'm cool with that,
(18:13):
but everybody used to do their led Zeppelin stage.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
What is the led Zeppelin stage?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
If there's you just get into led Zeppelin because their
music there's just songs that you just get into and
they've got a movie and all that, and you're just
you get into it. Pink Floyd, there's a Pink Floyd phase.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Where you just play one note on a guitar for
about thirty seconds without changing it. They are, hey, now
that's what for Pink Floyd is.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, it's interesting because you hear them talk now and
they're like, we could never recreate that because all of
us were in such dark places in our lives. I
always people yell at me. But I always say it
the best rock music, the best music, best art comes
from pain and despair, and it's all blues based. He
called do you think he called blues? Because it all
(19:03):
comes from misfortune, alcohol, drug addiction, pain the best music.
A lot of these guys can't write a good song
or a meaningful song. After they get married, they make
millions of dollars and have kids, they're happy. They're just like, Okay,
I can't I can't get that because you can't get
back to your twenties, or you just hate everything. At
(19:26):
least those people were in those modes, right, So it's
think about it. The best art comes from the weirdest,
messed up, narcissist, crazy, reclusive artists. Right. If you meet
a normal guy, right, hey, hey, he's not an artist.
(19:50):
Are you're not buying his art? He painted a tree.
But the messed up dudes, those are the and they
all die broke because they're messed up and they're but
they make the great art.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Again, I always go back to if we talked about
nineties grunge earlier. Three of the four lead singers from
the Big four bands, you know, Soundgarden Alison Shane's, Pearl
Jam and Nirvana. Three of those four lead singers are
not with us anymore.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
They hated themselves, Dude, I was there. They hated themselves,
they hated their own success, they hated they were millionaires.
It was crazy. But they were producing. Oh my gosh,
they were producing such great music. It was about a
seven year period. It was just killer. Every album was
(20:37):
just awesome, from Smashing Pumpkins to Soundgarden, That Sound Garden
super Unknown. We played eight songs off one album. We
went eight deep on one album. It was like, I
kept calling it the perfect album because we've I don't
I can't name you another album where we played eight
songs offen It's as a matter of fact, I'm gonna
(20:58):
bet I'd bet a thousand dollars that radio would. There's
not another album that radio played eight songs off an album,
even the Big Ones, even the Beatles. Maybe the Wide
Album then Stung.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You only had eight songs on an album.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, I mean it was That's super Unknown was a
huge album. It was crazy and they because they all
these bands followed up with great albums and then did
another one. It was crazy. Pearl Jam, we didn't know
after ten if they were gonna be able to do it,
and then they can. I mean they kept doing it,
but they all they all dressed in Uh. It was
a lot like the sixties. Man. It was just like
(21:34):
they all you know, Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
It was glorify the glorification of being dirty, kind of
like you said earlier.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, yeah, they didn't take showers. They were dirty, and
they hated themselves. It was crazy. And then you're right.
Three of the four Eddie Vederson one left yep.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Chris Cornell passed what yeah, seven eight years ago. Daily
was in the late nineties, and then before that it
was Kurt Cobain.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah. I used to joke with auditorium in our last
studios off Newburgh, I named it the Layte Stay Memorial Auditorium.
People did not think that was funny. There's a social dilemma.
You've ever thought about house flipping?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I would never do it, but it's cool that people
do do it.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
When we first had kids, we were like, we need
some more streams because we were not making money. We're
making now because we're older, but we were really young
and we weren't making We needed more money. We're like,
if we're going to send our kids to these schools,
and we want to do this, We're to do stuff.
So we went and met with the bank guy I
think it was Republic or whatever, whoever it was, and
they were very nice. But the guy that was pitching
us about this house flipping. And this is before two
(22:44):
thousand and eight when the crash happened and everything fell apart,
and it was like a year before. It's like two
thousand and seven. John one had been four and Maggie
had been like one or two. So I the guy
kept saying, it's just paperwork. You're going to sell the
house before you even make your first payment on this house.
(23:05):
But what stuck with me when he said it's just paperwork.
And we left the meeting and I said, you or not.
Neither one of us are construction guys. We don't know
how to hang drywall or whatever if something needs to
be fixed up or whatever with a flipping house, right
and if you're flipping the house, not flipping house. But
(23:27):
I left. We got in the car and I said,
you know what what got me was in and he
said it's just paper and I was like, no, it's
one hundred and seventy thousand dollars but at the time,
they were lending money to anyone, like if you had
a driver's license and you had a job more than
two weeks, they were lending you whatever you wanted, and
they were gonna lend us whatever you wanted to buy
(23:48):
a house and flip it. But what got me was
his talk was it's just paperwork, and I was like, no,
it's not. If there's something wrong with the house, it's
one hundred and seventy thousand dollars loan. So we didn't
do it, thank god, because there were so many homebuilders
at the time. My wife sold brick for a company
(24:09):
called Lead, Brick and Block, and they she sold to
homebuilders and everyone was a home builder, like everybody did
it everyone. Then there was houses popping up everywhere. It
was crazy. So we thought, well, let's get in the
game because we knew some people. I didn't know what
they were doing, and they were doing it right, so
we're like, okay, but that kind of hit me. So
that kind of died people do that. The people that
are successful at house flipping are handy. They know electrical work,
(24:33):
they know a little bit about plumbing, they know a
little bit about everything, and then they can fix stuff
at the house, and you never know what you're gonna get,
what's behind that wall, whatever, what the market's going to do.
So I never we never got into Thank god, I
look back, I'm knocking on wood right now. Thank god
we didn't do that at the time, because it's not paper,
it's one hundred and seventy thousand. Because at the time
(24:54):
that was about that was a good price house two
thousand and seven, and we were gonna flip house. We
were idiots. This young parents idiots. We were idiots, but
we were smart enough to walk away and go Nah,
I don't think so. So this guy writes Tyson, Uh,
he asked his son quit college. He's got a nineteen
(25:16):
year old that has decided that one year college is
enough and that his future lies in how's flipping. He's
calling it easy money and now suggesting that I take
the money I was going to use for his tuition
and give it to him to help buy a house
and flip it. And he's gonna make millions. So he's
(25:36):
asking online on Reddit whether he should do that. He goes, now,
this is a kid that quit college and he doesn't
know a lot about construction or anything about construction and
plays call of duty more than anything. This is the
problem with parents today. He's asking the question. I don't
(25:59):
want to wash someone's dreams, not someone at your son,
but those dreams have to have some basis in reality. No, duh, tyson,
The answers. No, if you quit college, that's it. It
was a gift that I was going to give you
to be able to pay for college, so you don't
have college debt like all your friends. But if you quit,
(26:22):
you don't get that money. You don't get This is
the way the kid's brains work. Well, I dropt out
of college. Give me that extra seventy five K that
you were gonna spend, But now you don't have to
spend it. Dad, That was the kid's voice. But this
is so dumb. I would I'd laugh. I would laugh
(26:43):
until I walked out of the room. If one of
my kids asked that, no, are you kidding? I wouldn't
even say no because they would know the answer. No,
that's crazy. Your nineteen year old son, no knowledge of construction,
gonna start flipping houses. The mindset is crazy. Well, you
owe me that money anyway. I was going to go
to college and now I'm not going. No, that's not
(27:05):
how it works. So Tyson, I think you have your number.
I mean when he says, but you know, there's no
basis in reality. I think he's answering his own question there.
But it's crazy. That's nuts. Don't do it, but flipping houses.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I'm not handy at all, so there's I could do
basic things, but there's no way out ever dabbling plumbing
or electrical work or any of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
No. I got a friend that is a carpenter. He
buys the house, he moves into it. He's single, and
he does all the work and he makes it look
great because a trim carpenter, and he makes all the
shelves and the bookshelves, and he makes this ornate stuff
that's just gorgeous. So he's adding to the value while
he lives there. And then he either rents it or
(27:51):
he sells it. And he does really good job. But
that's his career, that's his life. He's my age, so
he knows what he's doing. And doing trim carpeting for
like forty years, it's crazy. So they know what they're doing. No,
you can't do that. It's not as simple as it's
just paper now, oh, it's not that's alone. Don't do that.
(28:12):
Map Security. If you do have a house, go to
Maps Residential dot Com, give them a get online, and
then give them a call. They're going to come out
and install the greatest security system you've ever seen on
your home. And you can't afford not to anymore because
my neighborhood one break in in like fifteen years, and
(28:34):
now we get one every week. I've had four cars
stolen in Saint Matthew's in the last year within twenty houses.
Circle of mind. It's crazy. So you can't afford it anymore.
You've got to have the security system, and Maps Residential
dot Com will do it. It's a local outfit and
this security system is next level Star Trek stuff. You're
(28:55):
not gonna believe it, So definitely get Maps Residential. They'll
throw in an Alexa system for free. All right back
after this real quick news Radio eight forty wachs Oh,
you picked.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
One of the super Unknown one of the tracks from
from that album. They played eight from.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
We played eight songs off that album. Guarantee that's a record.
And then a couple of them put another band together
to raise money.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Audio Slave or Dog or something. No audio slave was
those Cornells.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
That was Rage against the Machine and Chris Cornell. Yes,
it was cool because the lead singer of Rage was
They were like, man, we were so sick of his politics.
We're like, we just want to play dude. But they
but they formed another band, uh to just raise money
for food in Seattle, Oh.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Thost, Temple of the Dog.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
It was Hunger Strike. It was a huge hit and
they were just screwing around. Let's do song for like
hungry people. I'm going hungry trying to find it, hung man,
all right, while you're finding it. I changed my life
six months ago when I installed from BK Plumbing Supply
(30:23):
a Toto toilet system. It's not even a toilet. I
feel bad even saying toilet. It is a bidet system.
It is very intricate. The seat is heated, it's all together.
It all comes together. It has a remote. I can
pull it off the wall, control the streak. It is
a bidet. You could control two different types of stream.
(30:44):
The temperature of the water you could control. And it
has a hair dryer down there. It's only the best
way I can. You know what it's got, So after
you're done, you push the it's got a little waves. You
push that button and it drives your under carriage. Whoop,
toilet paper, bye bye. All right. When you walk up
to it, the seat goes and this blue light sanitizes
(31:06):
the bowl and it sprints the water because and it
has a blue light to sanitize it before you go
to the bathroom. Because that's what you deserve. The toto
go to BK a plumbing supply. Of course, the owner's
name is John. He sells toilets. He sells a lot
more than that, but this toilet is next level. Awkwall
(31:28):
four check them out, call them fifty nine hundred. Call
them four fifty nine hundred. Right now, ask for Amy
or John and say what is the toilet? Vinetti? Has
it changed my life? My wife wasn't sure at first,
and now she's like, that's I can't. That's unbelievable because
they have two different streams for the girls and the boys.
(31:51):
You have a little boy picture and a girl picture,
and you obviously pick which one. Of course, we don't
see gender on the show. BK Plumbing Supply there. This
was a huge hit, raised a lot of money for food.
They were socially active, but didn't hit you over the
(32:14):
head with it, right. It feels like now they're not
trying to make you feel like.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
You're a jerk, like this was entertainment. This was entertainment
or like something you you have a fire pit going
in your backyard, yes, and you're listening to this.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Oh all day. It was great. It was a great
era to grow up in. Man. I was in my twenties.
It was great to be in my twenties for that.
All right, good show today, john It it really all
started with Tony Cruz. Earlier today he had an hour
with Oscar Combs, the great Oscar Combs, the cat Paul's guy.
He's been around forever, all the way back to rough
(32:50):
and it was very entertaining. And I'm glad they're bringing
people in because Tony Cruz is retiring in about six
days or so, when Nick Coffee and company are going
to take over. All right, I will see you too tomorrow, hompday, Johnny,
have a great one. Don't be careful driving home, all
of you, be careful driving home. News Radio eight forty
