Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Everybody, News Radio eight forty whas Tony Veneti,
Dwight Whitten, Dwite is out till Tuesday, got John Olden producing.
It's going to be a good day. The sun is shining.
We're feeling good. My wife did the I'm So sick
of rain last night, and we do it every spring,
and we know it's going to rain every day pretty
much until mother Nature just turns the spickt off and
(00:24):
it doesn't rain for two months straight. We talk about
too much rain, and then when is it going to rain.
That's what we do in this town. So we have
to cut the grass twice a week for a while
and then not cut the grass for two weeks because
it's not growing because it's not getting fed. That's the deal.
(00:44):
It's what we do. So today, at least the sun
is shining a little bit. I want to remind you
about Saint Matthew's birthday. Saint Matthew's turned seventy five. Seventy
five years of the potato farms that grew into much
more than what they are. June Brown Park The bands
are a Van Morrison tribute, a Huey Lewis tribute. We've
(01:06):
got a Beatles tribute Cheryl Rouse and this, that and
the other, which was a huge band in the nineties,
and they are from Saint Matthews. It's an all day thing,
noon till ten pm. All right, we're gonna have Nick
Coffee visit us here in a bit. He's talking to
the sales team right now, getting prepared to take over
for mornings here and Tony Cruz on News Radio eight
(01:28):
forty whas Nick, of course comes from our sister station
seven ninety, which follows a lot of people that I
said this online, and I said, Darryl Isaacs is here.
Why is Darryl's here? Darryl Isaacs? What are you doing
at my window? Sit right there, dude, sit right there?
(01:48):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I'm coming to record some spots. Oh yeah, And they
said you're working, and yeah, I just had to get
proof that you were working.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were just talking about the Saint
Matthews seventy fifth birthday on June seventh at Brown Park.
How cool is that we got all these great tribute bands.
Huey Lewis in the news, the Beatles and Van Morrison. Yeah,
he's he's a big wild night. Yes, Brown Eyed girl.
(02:15):
Every time Brown Eye Darryl gets up starts dancing. Every
single time.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It's the Chipmunk Dance from Candy Shot. He stole my dance.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
He did.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
How you doing, buddy, I'm great, I'm great. I'm I'm
just excited to be all right.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I'm gonna talk shop just a little bit with you,
real real quick. Okay. So I drive because Purdue. I
drive that strip between Louisville in Indianapolis. Let me tell
you something, dude, though. But my point is, I believe
that is one of the more dangerous because there's so
many trucks. It's over it's over saturated with big trucks,
(02:55):
and they don't care. Remember John got run off the
road by a big truck and the truck just kept
going and he tore his toy, his car up, he
totaled it. Uh. But we we've overed a thousand times
in the last four years. And let me tell you
it is. It's dangerous. That's why you have your billboards there.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well. Well, look, and I always got to be clear,
truckers are heroes. I mean they're getting their goods to
and from and it's like anything else. Lawyer's police, there's
always a few bad apples, right, So we're only concerned
with the bad app right.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Uh. And I know you had to work out a
lot to be able to lift one of those big semis.
That's fantastic video. And I knew you were strong. I didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I didn't know there was a paper machee truck.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I didn't know about that. But how did What was
the final number for the dogs we were out at
the Uh, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I'm gonna say between one sixty one and one seventy five.
I don't know that they're going to give us. I
would say credit. There was a lot of people that
left that were promised a dog because they couldn't that day.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
So still that number, right, Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, And I mean, you know, at the end of
the day, it's all it's a matter, it doesn't matter.
I mean, I set a high goal. Next year, it's
gonna be two fifty, right, But at the end of
the day, the people, the people of Louisville, Indiana, they're amazing. Hey,
when you think of keep in mind, I don't know
if seventy eighty ninety percent of those dogs are a
pity mix. Yeah, And so people are still taking him
(04:19):
and it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
So well, you're the only person that brought all of
these agencies together.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That's the key, cause all the credit it starts with
Alice in Humaine Siety. They brought them off. Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Just one. It's just just one. It's either Oldham County
or Henry County or Jeff's County. You don't get everyone
in there at once in one stop. It's really good.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well, and what we're trying to do, we're trying to
open it up to the whole state. I mean, and
I don't even know the locations. Michelle's here, she might
know where some of them drove. But some of them
drove two three hours and they brought all the dogs
they had and they left empty handed, which was the goal.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, well, I got to tell you it was. And
they brought the supermodels of dogs, the cutest darn dogs
you've ever seen in your life. I don't know how
you can bring a child like creg Or sales representative
and walk away with us, that poor little girl, the daughter.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
You just didn't have.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
What a mean, mean, Dad, I got the hold of dog.
Thanks Dad, Tony.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Can you imagine being in that car on the ride home?
Thanks Dad? Thanks Dad, Thanks Dad?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Who wants ice cream? It's too late? Dead, we were
not helping a tale and that we're in on you.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
But Tony, so I got to ask you this question.
Did you when you were there, did you see any
you know, relatives and maybe the girls you're not dated
in the part.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Might have Yeah, we uh. It's I always say Louisville
is one degree separation. It's not a Kevin Bacon's six degrees.
Everyone knows somewhere from someone.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I'm just saying, I I love dogs. I think part
of me used to be a dog, and I think
I've had my share.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah no, no, no, yeah, we uh.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
But again, you and I can talk about our academic
achievement and absolutely.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
But still both of us in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yes there somebody needs their head examined.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
But yes, that's what I said. I said, they miscounted,
but I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
The day they voted for me, though someone inserted a name.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And oh, dude, yours too late? No, no, no notes, nothing,
he just walks up. I was at your table that
night and you just went up and rocked it out.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
It was just shocked.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
It was great, like it are right here right it
was great. Uh, but you've given a lot. I think
people realize how much Terio gives and not mentions it
or or makes it.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
No, but you all are y'all arerobably so kind to me.
But you all do so much for the community. I mean,
that's who doesn't want to be a part of it.
And then remember we got coming backpack August and we're
having a city. Oh it's gonna be her phasey people.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, yeah, that's the goofy picture I sent you of
us in the backpack and the hat and the little tric.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Well, we need you know, what would be cool is
if you and I can find picture of us in
old days when we're at school or going to school.
How we need to find that the high water.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
We need to find evidence we went to schools exactly,
Daryl Isaacs, wewin dot com. Wewin dot com, go make
your commercials. If you've seen Nick Coffee out there, send
him in here.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Uh just a moment.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Oh okay, love you Daryl Isaacs. You got it, man.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I couldn't come here, not stop.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
No, I know I know that. I know that. I
know that, all right, So last night us sent it
pass the no tax on Tips Act. This is huge.
So if you're a waiter or a wait staff, a bartender, hairdresser,
if you get tips, you are now not going to
pay taxes up to twenty five thousand dollars. That is
(07:58):
huge because when I did it, you made a dollar
nine an hour and you really didn't even worry about
getting that paycheck after two weeks, because you are you go?
Are you in? Are you in right there? Ladies and gentlemen,
Nick Coffee, I want to put you on the female mike,
not that not that we see gender around here. Are
(08:20):
you getting the lay of the land of this studio
rather than the one in the back?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Yeah, oh, I mean they're they're very similar. Oh, this
one's just it's got the window and it just feels more.
It's it's the big it's the big stick, right it is.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
And you know what's fun when you switch over to
a station and you're taking someone's place, you know, it's
you get these oh I'm so happy for Nick, and
then you get those like oh no, Nick Coffee, I
hate that guy. So you got to get that. Trust me,
we got it when we replaced Leland Conway.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Well you you told me many years ago There's a
lot of things that Venetti has said over the years
that I'm think, okay, you know whatever, whatever, and.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Then it ends up being correct. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
One of those things is like, don't you know, don't
think too much about what is said on you know,
comment sections and on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, and you know you were right. Yeah, social media
is a joke. And now Twitter, I said it yesterday,
is like I don't want to go to Twitter anymore
because I don't want to hate people.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
It's the most toxic platform that has ever existed ever, never,
it will never be outdone. And it was already that
before it was purchased by Elon Musk, and now it's
just a no rain.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Absolutely, it was way it was. It was it was
that way anyway before Elon Musk took it. No, you're
exactly right.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I want to find the most toxic place in society.
Just go read threads of things on x slash Twitter.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
But when it's first started and I was doing sports
over at seven night with you guys, it was it
was a great place to see, you know, a Yahoo's
sports article. I could punch on it, read it, hit
it again and to go away. It was sports and
a little bit of politics was really what Twitter was,
and then it started morphing.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Is this I have.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Found the perfect way to lay out because there's a
lot of value in the platform for what we do right,
meaning it's it's one huge resource of nothing but news,
and it is filtered in an algorithm to where it
knows what you want to see. So using it for
reference point, it's it's as valuable as anything I used
(10:13):
to prepare for a show. It'll still be that way
when I'm when I'm here on has but it is
there's no value. In fact, it can it can be
a bad, bad thing if you use it for just
full engagement. There's no benefit to engage with anybody.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I barely get any movement on a tweet anymore. So
I've just stopped on my I did something with Oscar
comes because I really wanted to put that picture out,
but other than that, I barely post on that. And
you know, you and I. Let's go to another conversation
you and I had when you first had kids. I
just told John this yesterday. I said, you're gonna want
to coach and I said, you're gonna want to schedule
(10:47):
that where you can coach. And now this has fallen
together to where you're gonna be able to You're going
the mornings, you're done at nine, You're gonna be able
to coach moose. Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
And I thought, just with me being a super competitive guy,
that I would not want to coach at a young age.
But it's gotten to the point now where I'm I'm thinking, Okay, well,
I guess I'm gonna have to coach now because I
because I don't like. I don't like I don't like
what I'm seeing out there on the field. I don't
like the I don't like what they're doing. But my
dad and I coached his basketball, if we can call
(11:19):
it basketball. It was three and four year olds, but
we had a good time doing it. And yeah, I
didn't have There was no moment when it happened. But
as this transition ships where I moved from non plus
years on seven ninety two mornings on hass as it's happening,
I realized there was at some point a moment where
still very much interested in sports. It's a big part
(11:39):
of my life. I love talking about it. I'm passionate
about it. But you know, I now I'm like, yeah,
you know what, Nick, I'm not going to go to
the nine o'clock basketball and I'm on Tuesday when they
play in Mississippi Valley State. I'm gonna stay at home and
have dinner with my family and you know, not think
twice about it.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
So so that is that's the thing that people are realizing.
We're crying about stuff being a sports show host.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
But the president you told me, you told me you
won't be at all those press conferences. Man Like, eventually
you're going to realize you don't need to be at
the games and this and that. I'm like always crazy,
I'm there every day. I'm going to show everybody that
I'm the most dedicated person that's covering Louisville sports. And
now it's like, yeah, I'll watch it online, watch it
online and be hold with your kids. That's that's the key.
(12:20):
So big adjustment the schedule. You've know your wife, this
is a big conversation on schedule. You have two kids,
she works, and you got to be out the door
by four.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I I cannot tell you how happy I am that
I was able to have the years that I did,
getting them started in the mornings, getting their day started,
it's such a such a good age for that. Yeah,
I embraced it, loved it. She not as much. So
that'll be that'll be an adjustment. But also, you know,
being able to pick up Maya from school when you know,
(12:56):
whenever I don't have stuff going on.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
That'll be. That'll be great.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Although the there's no way you get used to getting
up at three o'clock in the morning, three thirty whatever
it is, but you but you know, it is what
it is. I will say this Tony Tony Cruz was
Tony Tony Cruz on I think it was with you
yesterday or maybe the day before. He said something that
kind of frightened me and it and it made me
realize that this is now my life. He was talking
about how, you know, he was mentioning he was going
(13:20):
to retire, going to be able to sleep in a
little bit more, all that kind of stuff, and he
was almost like, well, come on, guys, Like on Fridays
sometimes I'm up till like ten o'clock and I'm like,
oh my god, that's that's that's a wild night now,
Like why don't you guys chill with me being this
early going to bed?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Guys sometimes on Fridays. I'm up till ten, guys. So dude,
if he gets the ten in my hous panning time,
why are we up as ten? We're not Paris Hilton.
So John Channer is going to do the joke of
the day here in a moment. So you're met with
the sales, You're running full board. You got a good
team around you with Johnny and Scott Fitzgerald doing sports
(13:56):
and John Shannon doing news. Lean on the news department
for your thing, but make it your own show, son.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I'm looking forward to put my own flavor on and
having some fun. And you know, a bunch of old guys.
I'm gonna be the young guy. Yeah, I'm gonna be
the I'm gonna be the I'm the young stallion.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Now, now listen, you cannot do worse than what Dwight
and I did. We ran every Leland listener off. Our
first book was a zero point zero. People were panicking, going,
we made a mistake, and I was like, calm down. There.
Luckily there was there was people in charge, going calm down,
this is fine. It's we're gonna build it. And we
built it, and it's it's bigger than ever. Right now,
(14:34):
but we ran everybody off. That's not your case because
it's a different show. It's a different type show. You're
a morning show and this is more of a long
form kind of thing like your sports show. But we
are so happy for you.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
And thank you, and you're having very much appreciative of
all those that have reached out and even those that
you know are gonna boycott his because of this move.

Speaker 5 (16:17):
Hey fellas Hey, So a doctor and a liar at
this party, and their conversation keeps getting interrupted because people
keep coming up to the doctor asking about their ailments
and how to get it fixed. The doctor's annoying. He turns.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
The liar says, hey, do you ever have this happen
to you? Or did you fix this? I don't see
anybody come up to you. How'd you fix it? He says,
it's very easy. He says, they used to come to
me all the time and ask me for advice, and
then I started sending him a bill. The doctor loves.
I know that was a premature rim shot, folks, So
(16:53):
the doctor the next day, the doctor goes Louisvillman's Health
can help you with that, Tony. The doctor goes into
his office the next day and remembers the people from
the party, starts putting mail together to send them bills
for all the advice he gave him. And he goes
out to the mailbox and put it in there and
sees a piece of mail, opens it up.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
It's a bill from that lawyer.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oh no, is that the joke?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
That was the joke?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
All right? See you ruins. That was a stupid joe.
You better do better tomorrow. I will all right, all right, folks,
it is going to be a busy day. Sun is
shine and feel good while it's not raining. I want
to encourage you to go to window nation dot com.
I got new windows about seven years ago. Everything changed.
(17:35):
You barely can hear a siren or something going on outside,
and it locks in the air in your house, so
the AC stays in, the heat stays in, and you
don't pay as much for you won't believe your electric
and gas bill. It goes down from twenty five to
fifty percent when you get new windows, and you can
finance this for two years with no money down, no
(17:56):
interest payments. That's it. You don't make a payment for
two years with new windows in your house, and right now,
get four windows. Get four free window nation dot com.
Go there, right now, let's get new windows. Back after
this on NewsRadio eight forty wance, I'm gonna go try
(18:17):
to get my real ID today. I'm wondering, what do
you think over under two hours?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Ah, that seems right on the money, You're like Vegas.
I'll take the under.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay, I'm hoping I could deal with two. So I'm
just gonna show up, no appointment.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
You should make a fake real ID.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
How about no?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
No, be very oxymoronic.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, that's gonna go and show up. Figure it out. sEH.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
I'm Tony Vanetti. I need a real ID.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
You would think that a passport and your driver's license
would be enough, but I got to bring the bills
and the proof of address and all that stuff. So whatever,
that's what they asked. And the eye test. Make sure
you take your glasses if you're doing the ite test,
because you don't want to fail it. So I'm going
to try to do that. Marcus Green from WDRB has
a good article on this Louisville, VA Hospital. I got
(19:12):
to tell you I was wrong about that. You know,
when they first did it, I was like, look, Via,
they needed a new hospital. It's got to go somewhere.
And I know the neighborhood was complaining, but I was
I was like, look, you got to have this stuff.
Did not realize I was wrong. That thing is almost
a million square feet. It is huge. So if you're
(19:36):
going down the Waterson look to your right before you
get to Brownsboro and you're like, oh my lord, that's
the VA Hospital. It's huge. It has its own water tower.
Now the problem is that that's been a bottleneck, crazy
traffic place since I was in high school. And now
you've added that. The next step, which is separate from
(19:59):
the construction of this VA hospital with the Feds. The
highway folks are now going to have to come in
and redo all of it, because that's where people jump
on to seventy one, right over the overpass. You go
past that, you jump on seventy one. If you're going
to Cincinnati. It's a mess. It's going to be so
now the next I don't know how many years. It
(20:21):
takes some years to redo. I think though the exit
they put on Westport Road from Waterson Dude took twenty
years like it was, it was at least fifteen. I
remember thinking, how long does this take to build this exit?
(20:42):
And the second they built it it was overrun.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
It was so for run.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
So that VA Hospital we need it. And I think
they're still going to have some vets at the old
place off Zone Avenue. But I will say I was wrong.
I apologize to those folks that live in that neighborhood
because they didn't sign up for that. That thing is
It dwarfs everything in that area. It is nine hundred
thousand square feet and then two large so that's the building,
(21:10):
and then two gigantic five story parking garages on both sides.
It is crazy. Now they're gonna try to get an
off ramp that will put you right into the VA hospital.
That's I think is the thinking there. So we will
see at the top of the hour, we're gonna have
(21:32):
Matt Sanders in from LMPD. If he shows up, he's
about it.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
He's not.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Seven out of ten times he shows up, we never
know if he's gonna make it. But we had Nick
Coffee on a new morning show host. We'll play Crusade
for children Trivia at eleven. I'm trying to find Gus
for another one because I don't want John Shannon because
he answers all the questions. And then I booked yesterday.
(21:57):
I thought the Dixie story, but you know I did
that story twice yesterday.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
That's right, the Dixie's Elbow Room.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
What a great name for a bar. She fought because
people don't realize it. Up until the mid sixties women
it was against the law for a woman to walk
into a bar and drink. And again we explained all
that yesterday. It was a different time. Moms didn't work,
or women didn't work. They were moms, and people were like,
of course moms shouldn't be in a bar. If you
were in a bar, you know who you were Ladies
(22:27):
of the Knights. Uh So Dixie hired a bartender and
then somebody came in and woman came in in order
to drink. She got in some trouble, she fought through
it and they and they won. So she's related to
Da Dah, Bill Samuels, mister Maker's Mark. As matter of fact,
(22:48):
the person I was talking Hony yesterday that said Dixie
she believes was born in the Samuel House in the
upstairs bedroom. So we're gonna get Bill Samuels for Makers
Mark and the daughter of Dixie to come in on
June third. They're coming in June third to talk about
all that, what happened. And of course Bill Samuels is
(23:10):
a hoot dude. If you've ever interviewed him, he's great,
he's awesome, He is not boring. It'll be a lot
of fun, So we'll have him on that. I watched
a little bit of the Q and A of the
two gentlemen that are still vying to be the superintendent
of Jeffson County Public Schools yesterday and they were both
seemed very good, and I don't know how they're going
(23:32):
to be able to choose between the twos seriously, and
again I pray for both these guys. Ben and Brian
are the gentlemen that are trying to do this, Brian
Yearwood and Ben Shoulder, and I pray for him because
I don't think they know what they're getting into. I mean,
they were both superintendents before, but at this point JCPS
is a different animal. And my wife suggested. We watched
(23:55):
a little bit of it yesterday and she said, well
why not hire them both.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Superintendents?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, she said, make one for the elementary schools and
one for the high schools. Those are two different beasts.
I mean it's two different challenges. You're talking about toddlers
in elementary to what sixth grade? No, No, no, fifth grade?
So you go to fifth grade, I mean there's still babies,
and then you got maybe do elementary middle school and
(24:24):
then a high school superintendent for different challenges. And then
there was one. It was Ben's Shoulder that was talking
about money and that there wasn't enough or he didn't
like the Churchill Downs situation. He said that I'm paraphrasing,
you know. He basically said that wasn't good for uze.
(24:45):
I just that falls so deaf on deaf years because
people are just like, man, if you can't do it
on two point two billion, I'm sorry, I don't know
how many hundreds of millions of dollars more they have
and than had six years ago, six years ago. Well
how did you do it six years ago with five
(25:05):
hundred million less? It is look and it's challenging. I
get it. It's one hundred thousand students all over the city,
but two point two billion should be enough. And it's
gonna go up every year. It's the only place that
gets more every single year because of housing prices. They're
always going to go up. They never go down, so
(25:25):
you're gonna get paid. So I didn't like that, but
they had to tackle a lot of these issues. Brand
Yearwood talked about LGBTQ and his old district, or his
old school district, and said there was a policy laid
down by the school board that said kids can hang
LGBDQ signs up in support, but the adults in the
(25:49):
school cannot, and said they were obviously pushed back from
teachers and adults in the school, and he said he
just had to read the policy and had to handle that.
These are the stuff that you have to handle now.
Instead of you know, math grades. And it's a lot
of schools. It's a lot of kids and they need
(26:11):
a lot of work. I get that. I don't mind
the extra money to build new schools because you need
to do that. It is a crime that the you know,
the last school built high school build was Ballid High School.
It's crazy. So it was interesting to watch that and
then just you just kind of look at him to
shake your head and go, good luck, good luck with that. Now,
late last night, NFL you saw this.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Right, I don't know, I might have jogged my memory.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Owners voted to permit players to participate in flag football
in the twenty twenty eight Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
That is cool. Now, they also put a little parameter
some They said one player per team can participate. So
(27:01):
I don't know how they're going to decide that if
you're putting a flag football team together in the NFL,
I mean, seriously, who's the quarterback?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Well here's the other thing. Who are you playing against
in the Olympic world? Well, who else has which? Which
countries have American you know, American football.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It'll be a wash.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
It'll be a wash.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
If Lamar Jackson is the quarterback, it's over.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
If any of them are the quarterback, it's over. Name
any of the tile fifteen quarterbacks in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Not necessarily, lo I would. I want somebody obviously that
can pull it run it, and most quarterbacks can these days.
But seriously, Lamar Jackson, it's over. Well, you're playing against Spain,
I mean, and I don't know. I mean, you pick
the speedsters. Are they gonna score on every possession? I mean,
(27:56):
come on, it'd be embarrassing. It'll be It'll be USA
and Canada and the Olympic finals and that won't even
be close. It will the first year. It will remind
me of the ninety two when we all, you know,
we lost the last two Olympics or something, and when
they said the NBA players and at that time, it
was all time grades. It was all time grades. Like
Matt Sanders staring at me in the window. No uniform today,
(28:19):
so he doesn't he doesn't have a press conference.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
He's incognito.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yes, but that era. I was working for WQMF at
the time and we were just so everyone there was
just so fired up. And we were around the televisions
at the station because those are the days. You were
just at the station all day if you I mean
you were rarely at home. You were always at the
station because it was such a cool job.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
It was rock and roll.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Rock and roll radio was cool, and we watched every game.
He was crazy and it was just watching. If you
look at the NBA Top fifties of all time, everyone
on that team is in the top fifty all timers,
and it was just ridiculous. They were so good that
they rotated teams. Jordan had his his six or seven
(29:04):
and Charles Barkley had his six or seven, so they
would they would only play every other night so they
could go out in Barcelona and party or play golf.
That's how good they were. Well, Michael's teams playing tonight,
yours is tomorrow. You got the day off. Even with
Larry Bird didn't even play. I mean, he had a
back issue and he basically laid down and it looked
(29:27):
worse on TV because if you didn't know Larry Bird
had back problems. He laid down in front of this
with towels as a pillow during the games, kind of
like Lili even have to put me in. I'm gonna
take a nap but he's down there because he had
back is shoes. But if he didn't know that, You're
just like, what arrogance. It was so cool. They destroyed
(29:53):
everybody by sixty points. It wasn't even close. Now the
rest of the world is is obviously closer. And it
was a miracle we won last year, to tell you
the truth, because their basketball players are better. They just
they know the bat game of basketball better than our guys.
We just happen to have, you know, pretty good players
on our team. But it worked out. So NFL owners
(30:14):
voted they're going to play flag football. I mean, I
haven't seen because every flag football league is different, right,
so I don't know what the rules are of of
defensive lineman offensive lineman. I think there are three, but
I got to look at the setup. But this is
going to be fun to watch. I mean, Mahomes, I
(30:37):
mean seriously.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
I bet you get a lot more of the older
veteran quarterbacks who have a less likely chance, like if
they were to get injured in this scenario, they'd be
more okay for them to gold medal.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
It's a gold medal and it's flag. It's a gold
medal and flat.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
The first time yeah, maybe the first.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
It's not tackle, it's flag, and it's it's a gold medal.
They want to be able to say they have a
gold medal. I think they get the best.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, you might, you might, but it'd be so it'd
be terrible if if A Mahomes got injured in the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
And then who are the best wide receivers? Matt Sanders,
who's the best wide receivers in the NFL? Or are
you just too busy protecting the city.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
Hey, good morning, thanks for having me. The best wide
receivers in the NFL right now are gonna be Matthew Golden,
he's the rookie got of Green Bay. All about Christian Watson.
We've got Jalen Reid up there.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Oh well, these are just Wisconsin guys.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Oh yeah, Jamar Chase is the real answer, Jamark.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Well, here's the thing. They're gonna play in this league.
Are our wide receivers now are six four, two ten
and run like the wind? This is they're gonna score
possibly every play.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
They'll let off the gas a little bit, they have to.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
I think that's.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
What we want.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yeah, that's what we want.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
We want to see the Americans.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
We want to crush twenty five yards and okay, so
Lamar plays this game, Mahomes plays the second. Because you
want a guy that could in Lamar, especially in flag football.
Can you imagine him in flag football, the guy from
Croatia falling down breaking his own ankle.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
I think it'd be great. I mean, especially here in Louisville.
We'd love to see Lamar dominate on the field. Oh,
it doesn't matter if it's flag football or for the Ravens.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Dude, I'm a lifelong Pittsburgh fan and I've watched more
Ravens in the last four years that I have the Steelers.
Not that nice. Steelers have sucked and Lamar and them
have been very good. But that's it. I think it's great,
and it's on our it's in here, so even to
your point of not even traveling. It's in Los Angeles.
(32:40):
And by the way, the last time it was in
Los Angeles was nineteen eighty four, and we watched every
minute of that one. That was Carl Lewis. Carl Lewis
won everything.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
Yeah, unstoppable.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
It was unstoppable because it's awesome. All right, Matt, We're
gonna talk about stuff later in a minute. Here ten
minutes LMPD stiff. What's happening now? I think, yeah, big
thing for the big thing for the police. All right,
we'll talk about that. Meanwhile, Eedland and Edland, folks one
percent commission rate, don't don't give your equity to a
(33:11):
real estate agent. Your house is going to sell. Eedland's
been around for forty six years. They sold one half
of all the one percent deals last year were sold
through Eland and Edland. Why because they know what they're doing.
And the words started to spread. The owner told me,
I got to go buy more science to put in
yards because it's it's going crazy. Edland and Edland call
five nine eight hundred and get it done back after
(33:34):
this our news radio eight forty whs
Good morning, Everybody, News Radio eight forty whas Tony Veneti,
Dwight Whitten, Dwite is out till Tuesday, got John Olden producing.
It's going to be a good day. The sun is shining.
We're feeling good. My wife did the I'm So sick
of rain last night, and we do it every spring,
and we know it's going to rain every day pretty
much until mother Nature just turns the spickt off and
(00:24):
it doesn't rain for two months straight. We talk about
too much rain, and then when is it going to rain.
That's what we do in this town. So we have
to cut the grass twice a week for a while
and then not cut the grass for two weeks because
it's not growing because it's not getting fed. That's the deal.
(00:44):
It's what we do. So today, at least the sun
is shining a little bit. I want to remind you
about Saint Matthew's birthday. Saint Matthew's turned seventy five. Seventy
five years of the potato farms that grew into much
more than what they are. June Brown Park The bands
are a Van Morrison tribute, a Huey Lewis tribute. We've
(01:06):
got a Beatles tribute Cheryl Rouse and this, that and
the other, which was a huge band in the nineties,
and they are from Saint Matthews. It's an all day thing,
noon till ten pm. All right, we're gonna have Nick
Coffee visit us here in a bit. He's talking to
the sales team right now, getting prepared to take over
for mornings here and Tony Cruz on News Radio eight
(01:28):
forty whas Nick, of course comes from our sister station
seven ninety, which follows a lot of people that I
said this online, and I said, Darryl Isaacs is here.
Why is Darryl's here? Darryl Isaacs? What are you doing
at my window? Sit right there, dude, sit right there?
(01:48):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I'm coming to record some spots. Oh yeah, And they
said you're working, and yeah, I just had to get
proof that you were working.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were just talking about the Saint
Matthews seventy fifth birthday on June seventh at Brown Park.
How cool is that we got all these great tribute bands.
Huey Lewis in the news, the Beatles and Van Morrison. Yeah,
he's he's a big wild night. Yes, Brown Eyed girl.
(02:15):
Every time Brown Eye Darryl gets up starts dancing. Every
single time.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It's the Chipmunk Dance from Candy Shot. He stole my dance.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
He did.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
How you doing, buddy, I'm great, I'm great. I'm I'm
just excited to be all right.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I'm gonna talk shop just a little bit with you,
real real quick. Okay. So I drive because Purdue. I
drive that strip between Louisville in Indianapolis. Let me tell
you something, dude, though. But my point is, I believe
that is one of the more dangerous because there's so
many trucks. It's over it's over saturated with big trucks,
(02:55):
and they don't care. Remember John got run off the
road by a big truck and the truck just kept
going and he tore his toy, his car up, he
totaled it. Uh. But we we've overed a thousand times
in the last four years. And let me tell you
it is. It's dangerous. That's why you have your billboards there.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well. Well, look, and I always got to be clear,
truckers are heroes. I mean they're getting their goods to
and from and it's like anything else. Lawyer's police, there's
always a few bad apples, right, So we're only concerned
with the bad app right.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Uh. And I know you had to work out a
lot to be able to lift one of those big semis.
That's fantastic video. And I knew you were strong. I didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I didn't know there was a paper machee truck.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I didn't know about that. But how did What was
the final number for the dogs we were out at
the Uh, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I'm gonna say between one sixty one and one seventy five.
I don't know that they're going to give us. I
would say credit. There was a lot of people that
left that were promised a dog because they couldn't that day.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
So still that number, right, Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, And I mean, you know, at the end of
the day, it's all it's a matter, it doesn't matter.
I mean, I set a high goal. Next year, it's
gonna be two fifty, right, But at the end of
the day, the people, the people of Louisville, Indiana, they're amazing. Hey,
when you think of keep in mind, I don't know
if seventy eighty ninety percent of those dogs are a
pity mix. Yeah, And so people are still taking him
(04:19):
and it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
So well, you're the only person that brought all of
these agencies together.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That's the key, cause all the credit it starts with
Alice in Humaine Siety. They brought them off. Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Just one. It's just just one. It's either Oldham County
or Henry County or Jeff's County. You don't get everyone
in there at once in one stop. It's really good.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well, and what we're trying to do, we're trying to
open it up to the whole state. I mean, and
I don't even know the locations. Michelle's here, she might
know where some of them drove. But some of them
drove two three hours and they brought all the dogs
they had and they left empty handed, which was the goal.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, well, I got to tell you it was. And
they brought the supermodels of dogs, the cutest darn dogs
you've ever seen in your life. I don't know how
you can bring a child like creg Or sales representative
and walk away with us, that poor little girl, the daughter.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
You just didn't have.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
What a mean, mean, Dad, I got the hold of dog.
Thanks Dad, Tony.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Can you imagine being in that car on the ride home?
Thanks Dad? Thanks Dad, Thanks Dad?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Who wants ice cream? It's too late? Dead, we were
not helping a tale and that we're in on you.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
But Tony, so I got to ask you this question.
Did you when you were there, did you see any
you know, relatives and maybe the girls you're not dated
in the part.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Might have Yeah, we uh. It's I always say Louisville
is one degree separation. It's not a Kevin Bacon's six degrees.
Everyone knows somewhere from someone.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I'm just saying, I I love dogs. I think part
of me used to be a dog, and I think
I've had my share.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah no, no, no, yeah, we uh.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
But again, you and I can talk about our academic
achievement and absolutely.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
But still both of us in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yes there somebody needs their head examined.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
But yes, that's what I said. I said, they miscounted,
but I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
The day they voted for me, though someone inserted a name.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And oh, dude, yours too late? No, no, no notes, nothing,
he just walks up. I was at your table that
night and you just went up and rocked it out.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
It was just shocked.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
It was great, like it are right here right it
was great. Uh, but you've given a lot. I think
people realize how much Terio gives and not mentions it
or or makes it.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
No, but you all are y'all arerobably so kind to me.
But you all do so much for the community. I mean,
that's who doesn't want to be a part of it.
And then remember we got coming backpack August and we're
having a city. Oh it's gonna be her phasey people.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, yeah, that's the goofy picture I sent you of
us in the backpack and the hat and the little tric.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Well, we need you know, what would be cool is
if you and I can find picture of us in
old days when we're at school or going to school.
How we need to find that the high water.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
We need to find evidence we went to schools exactly,
Daryl Isaacs, wewin dot com. Wewin dot com, go make
your commercials. If you've seen Nick Coffee out there, send
him in here.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Uh just a moment.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Oh okay, love you Daryl Isaacs. You got it, man.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I couldn't come here, not stop.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
No, I know I know that. I know that. I
know that, all right, So last night us sent it
pass the no tax on Tips Act. This is huge.
So if you're a waiter or a wait staff, a bartender, hairdresser,
if you get tips, you are now not going to
pay taxes up to twenty five thousand dollars. That is
(07:58):
huge because when I did it, you made a dollar
nine an hour and you really didn't even worry about
getting that paycheck after two weeks, because you are you go?
Are you in? Are you in right there? Ladies and gentlemen,
Nick Coffee, I want to put you on the female mike,
not that not that we see gender around here. Are
(08:20):
you getting the lay of the land of this studio
rather than the one in the back?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Yeah, oh, I mean they're they're very similar. Oh, this
one's just it's got the window and it just feels more.
It's it's the big it's the big stick, right it is.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
And you know what's fun when you switch over to
a station and you're taking someone's place, you know, it's
you get these oh I'm so happy for Nick, and
then you get those like oh no, Nick Coffee, I
hate that guy. So you got to get that. Trust me,
we got it when we replaced Leland Conway.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Well you you told me many years ago There's a
lot of things that Venetti has said over the years
that I'm think, okay, you know whatever, whatever, and.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Then it ends up being correct. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
One of those things is like, don't you know, don't
think too much about what is said on you know,
comment sections and on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, and you know you were right. Yeah, social media
is a joke. And now Twitter, I said it yesterday,
is like I don't want to go to Twitter anymore
because I don't want to hate people.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
It's the most toxic platform that has ever existed ever, never,
it will never be outdone. And it was already that
before it was purchased by Elon Musk, and now it's
just a no rain.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Absolutely, it was way it was. It was it was
that way anyway before Elon Musk took it. No, you're
exactly right.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I want to find the most toxic place in society.
Just go read threads of things on x slash Twitter.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
But when it's first started and I was doing sports
over at seven night with you guys, it was it
was a great place to see, you know, a Yahoo's
sports article. I could punch on it, read it, hit
it again and to go away. It was sports and
a little bit of politics was really what Twitter was,
and then it started morphing.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Is this I have.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Found the perfect way to lay out because there's a
lot of value in the platform for what we do right,
meaning it's it's one huge resource of nothing but news,
and it is filtered in an algorithm to where it
knows what you want to see. So using it for
reference point, it's it's as valuable as anything I used
(10:13):
to prepare for a show. It'll still be that way
when I'm when I'm here on has but it is
there's no value. In fact, it can it can be
a bad, bad thing if you use it for just
full engagement. There's no benefit to engage with anybody.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I barely get any movement on a tweet anymore. So
I've just stopped on my I did something with Oscar
comes because I really wanted to put that picture out,
but other than that, I barely post on that. And
you know, you and I. Let's go to another conversation
you and I had when you first had kids. I
just told John this yesterday. I said, you're gonna want
to coach and I said, you're gonna want to schedule
(10:47):
that where you can coach. And now this has fallen
together to where you're gonna be able to You're going
the mornings, you're done at nine, You're gonna be able
to coach moose. Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
And I thought, just with me being a super competitive guy,
that I would not want to coach at a young age.
But it's gotten to the point now where I'm I'm thinking, Okay, well,
I guess I'm gonna have to coach now because I
because I don't like. I don't like I don't like
what I'm seeing out there on the field. I don't
like the I don't like what they're doing. But my
dad and I coached his basketball, if we can call
(11:19):
it basketball. It was three and four year olds, but
we had a good time doing it. And yeah, I
didn't have There was no moment when it happened. But
as this transition ships where I moved from non plus
years on seven ninety two mornings on hass as it's happening,
I realized there was at some point a moment where
still very much interested in sports. It's a big part
(11:39):
of my life. I love talking about it. I'm passionate
about it. But you know, I now I'm like, yeah,
you know what, Nick, I'm not going to go to
the nine o'clock basketball and I'm on Tuesday when they
play in Mississippi Valley State. I'm gonna stay at home and
have dinner with my family and you know, not think
twice about it.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
So so that is that's the thing that people are realizing.
We're crying about stuff being a sports show host.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
But the president you told me, you told me you
won't be at all those press conferences. Man Like, eventually
you're going to realize you don't need to be at
the games and this and that. I'm like always crazy,
I'm there every day. I'm going to show everybody that
I'm the most dedicated person that's covering Louisville sports. And
now it's like, yeah, I'll watch it online, watch it
online and be hold with your kids. That's that's the key.
(12:20):
So big adjustment the schedule. You've know your wife, this
is a big conversation on schedule. You have two kids,
she works, and you got to be out the door
by four.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I I cannot tell you how happy I am that
I was able to have the years that I did,
getting them started in the mornings, getting their day started,
it's such a such a good age for that. Yeah,
I embraced it, loved it. She not as much. So
that'll be that'll be an adjustment. But also, you know,
being able to pick up Maya from school when you know,
(12:56):
whenever I don't have stuff going on.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
That'll be. That'll be great.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Although the there's no way you get used to getting
up at three o'clock in the morning, three thirty whatever
it is, but you but you know, it is what
it is. I will say this Tony Tony Cruz was
Tony Tony Cruz on I think it was with you
yesterday or maybe the day before. He said something that
kind of frightened me and it and it made me
realize that this is now my life. He was talking
about how, you know, he was mentioning he was going
(13:20):
to retire, going to be able to sleep in a
little bit more, all that kind of stuff, and he
was almost like, well, come on, guys, Like on Fridays
sometimes I'm up till like ten o'clock and I'm like,
oh my god, that's that's that's a wild night now,
Like why don't you guys chill with me being this
early going to bed?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Guys sometimes on Fridays. I'm up till ten, guys. So dude,
if he gets the ten in my hous panning time,
why are we up as ten? We're not Paris Hilton.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Now, now listen, you cannot do worse than what Dwight
and I did. We ran every Leland listener off. Our
first book was a zero point zero. People were panicking, going,
we made a mistake, and I was like, calm down. There.
Luckily there was there was people in charge, going calm down,
this is fine. It's we're gonna build it. And we
built it, and it's it's bigger than ever. Right now,
(14:34):
but we ran everybody off. That's not your case because
it's a different show. It's a different type show. You're

Marty Books coming on, Greg Galliett, and we're gonna play
Crusade for children trivia.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Oh do you need help with that?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
No, because I can't have you, because you answer all
the questions. I'm too good. No, you have all the
when you're wrong? Do you have all those stupid little
things in your head? You makee you ruin it?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Okay, no joke that'll make Alden cry, That one will
get a sued, that one will get Tony sued. Oh wait, no, okay,
here we go.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I got one.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Hey fellas Hey, So a doctor and a liar at
this party, and their conversation keeps getting interrupted because people
keep coming up to the doctor asking about their ailments
and how to get it fixed. The doctor's annoying. He turns.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
The liar says, hey, do you ever have this happen
to you? Or did you fix this? I don't see
anybody come up to you. How'd you fix it? He says,
it's very easy. He says, they used to come to
me all the time and ask me for advice, and
then I started sending him a bill. The doctor loves.
I know that was a premature rim shot, folks, So
(16:53):
the doctor the next day, the doctor goes Louisvillman's Health
can help you with that, Tony. The doctor goes into
his office the next day and remembers the people from
the party, starts putting mail together to send them bills
for all the advice he gave him. And he goes
out to the mailbox and put it in there and
sees a piece of mail, opens it up.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
It's a bill from that lawyer.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oh no, is that the joke?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
That was the joke?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
All right? See you ruins. That was a stupid joe.
You better do better tomorrow. I will all right, all right, folks,
it is going to be a busy day. Sun is
shine and feel good while it's not raining. I want
to encourage you to go to window nation dot com.
I got new windows about seven years ago. Everything changed.
(17:35):
You barely can hear a siren or something going on outside,
and it locks in the air in your house, so
the AC stays in, the heat stays in, and you
don't pay as much for you won't believe your electric
and gas bill. It goes down from twenty five to
fifty percent when you get new windows, and you can
finance this for two years with no money down, no
(17:56):
interest payments. That's it. You don't make a payment for
two years with new windows in your house, and right now,
get four windows. Get four free window nation dot com.
Go there, right now, let's get new windows. Back after
this on NewsRadio eight forty wance, I'm gonna go try
(18:17):
to get my real ID today. I'm wondering, what do
you think over under two hours?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Ah, that seems right on the money, You're like Vegas.
I'll take the under.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay, I'm hoping I could deal with two. So I'm
just gonna show up, no appointment.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
You should make a fake real ID.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
How about no?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
No, be very oxymoronic.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, that's gonna go and show up. Figure it out. sEH.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
I'm Tony Vanetti. I need a real ID.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
You would think that a passport and your driver's license
would be enough, but I got to bring the bills
and the proof of address and all that stuff. So whatever,
that's what they asked. And the eye test. Make sure
you take your glasses if you're doing the ite test,
because you don't want to fail it. So I'm going
to try to do that. Marcus Green from WDRB has
a good article on this Louisville, VA Hospital. I got
(19:12):
to tell you I was wrong about that. You know,
when they first did it, I was like, look, Via,
they needed a new hospital. It's got to go somewhere.
And I know the neighborhood was complaining, but I was
I was like, look, you got to have this stuff.
Did not realize I was wrong. That thing is almost
a million square feet. It is huge. So if you're
(19:36):
going down the Waterson look to your right before you
get to Brownsboro and you're like, oh my lord, that's
the VA Hospital. It's huge. It has its own water tower.
Now the problem is that that's been a bottleneck, crazy
traffic place since I was in high school. And now
you've added that. The next step, which is separate from
(19:59):
the construction of this VA hospital with the Feds. The
highway folks are now going to have to come in
and redo all of it, because that's where people jump
on to seventy one, right over the overpass. You go
past that, you jump on seventy one. If you're going
to Cincinnati. It's a mess. It's going to be so
now the next I don't know how many years. It
(20:21):
takes some years to redo. I think though the exit
they put on Westport Road from Waterson Dude took twenty
years like it was, it was at least fifteen. I
remember thinking, how long does this take to build this exit?
(20:42):
And the second they built it it was overrun.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
It was so for run.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
So that VA Hospital we need it. And I think
they're still going to have some vets at the old
place off Zone Avenue. But I will say I was wrong.
I apologize to those folks that live in that neighborhood
because they didn't sign up for that. That thing is
It dwarfs everything in that area. It is nine hundred
thousand square feet and then two large so that's the building,
(21:10):
and then two gigantic five story parking garages on both sides.
It is crazy. Now they're gonna try to get an
off ramp that will put you right into the VA hospital.
That's I think is the thinking there. So we will
see at the top of the hour, we're gonna have
(21:32):
Matt Sanders in from LMPD. If he shows up, he's
about it.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
He's not.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Seven out of ten times he shows up, we never
know if he's gonna make it. But we had Nick
Coffee on a new morning show host. We'll play Crusade
for children Trivia at eleven. I'm trying to find Gus
for another one because I don't want John Shannon because
he answers all the questions. And then I booked yesterday.
(21:57):
I thought the Dixie story, but you know I did
that story twice yesterday.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
That's right, the Dixie's Elbow Room.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
What a great name for a bar. She fought because
people don't realize it. Up until the mid sixties women
it was against the law for a woman to walk
into a bar and drink. And again we explained all
that yesterday. It was a different time. Moms didn't work,
or women didn't work. They were moms, and people were like,
of course moms shouldn't be in a bar. If you
were in a bar, you know who you were Ladies
(22:27):
of the Knights. Uh So Dixie hired a bartender and
then somebody came in and woman came in in order
to drink. She got in some trouble, she fought through
it and they and they won. So she's related to
Da Dah, Bill Samuels, mister Maker's Mark. As matter of fact,
(22:48):
the person I was talking Hony yesterday that said Dixie
she believes was born in the Samuel House in the
upstairs bedroom. So we're gonna get Bill Samuels for Makers
Mark and the daughter of Dixie to come in on
June third. They're coming in June third to talk about
all that, what happened. And of course Bill Samuels is
(23:10):
a hoot dude. If you've ever interviewed him, he's great,
he's awesome, He is not boring. It'll be a lot
of fun, So we'll have him on that. I watched
a little bit of the Q and A of the
two gentlemen that are still vying to be the superintendent
of Jeffson County Public Schools yesterday and they were both
seemed very good, and I don't know how they're going
(23:32):
to be able to choose between the twos seriously, and
again I pray for both these guys. Ben and Brian
are the gentlemen that are trying to do this, Brian
Yearwood and Ben Shoulder, and I pray for him because
I don't think they know what they're getting into. I mean,
they were both superintendents before, but at this point JCPS
is a different animal. And my wife suggested. We watched
(23:55):
a little bit of it yesterday and she said, well
why not hire them both.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Superintendents?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, she said, make one for the elementary schools and
one for the high schools. Those are two different beasts.
I mean it's two different challenges. You're talking about toddlers
in elementary to what sixth grade? No, No, no, fifth grade?
So you go to fifth grade, I mean there's still babies,
and then you got maybe do elementary middle school and
(24:24):
then a high school superintendent for different challenges. And then
there was one. It was Ben's Shoulder that was talking
about money and that there wasn't enough or he didn't
like the Churchill Downs situation. He said that I'm paraphrasing,
you know. He basically said that wasn't good for uze.
(24:45):
I just that falls so deaf on deaf years because
people are just like, man, if you can't do it
on two point two billion, I'm sorry, I don't know
how many hundreds of millions of dollars more they have
and than had six years ago, six years ago. Well
how did you do it six years ago with five
(25:05):
hundred million less? It is look and it's challenging. I
get it. It's one hundred thousand students all over the city,
but two point two billion should be enough. And it's
gonna go up every year. It's the only place that
gets more every single year because of housing prices. They're
always going to go up. They never go down, so
(25:25):
you're gonna get paid. So I didn't like that, but
they had to tackle a lot of these issues. Brand
Yearwood talked about LGBTQ and his old district, or his
old school district, and said there was a policy laid
down by the school board that said kids can hang
LGBDQ signs up in support, but the adults in the
(25:49):
school cannot, and said they were obviously pushed back from
teachers and adults in the school, and he said he
just had to read the policy and had to handle that.
These are the stuff that you have to handle now.
Instead of you know, math grades. And it's a lot
of schools. It's a lot of kids and they need
(26:11):
a lot of work. I get that. I don't mind
the extra money to build new schools because you need
to do that. It is a crime that the you know,
the last school built high school build was Ballid High School.
It's crazy. So it was interesting to watch that and
then just you just kind of look at him to
shake your head and go, good luck, good luck with that. Now,
late last night, NFL you saw this.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Right, I don't know, I might have jogged my memory.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Owners voted to permit players to participate in flag football
in the twenty twenty eight Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
That is cool. Now, they also put a little parameter
some They said one player per team can participate. So
(27:01):
I don't know how they're going to decide that if
you're putting a flag football team together in the NFL,
I mean, seriously, who's the quarterback?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Well here's the other thing. Who are you playing against
in the Olympic world? Well, who else has which? Which
countries have American you know, American football.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It'll be a wash.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
It'll be a wash.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
If Lamar Jackson is the quarterback, it's over.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
If any of them are the quarterback, it's over. Name
any of the tile fifteen quarterbacks in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Not necessarily, lo I would. I want somebody obviously that
can pull it run it, and most quarterbacks can these days.
But seriously, Lamar Jackson, it's over. Well, you're playing against Spain,
I mean, and I don't know. I mean, you pick
the speedsters. Are they gonna score on every possession? I mean,
(27:56):
come on, it'd be embarrassing. It'll be It'll be USA
and Canada and the Olympic finals and that won't even
be close. It will the first year. It will remind
me of the ninety two when we all, you know,
we lost the last two Olympics or something, and when
they said the NBA players and at that time, it
was all time grades. It was all time grades. Like
Matt Sanders staring at me in the window. No uniform today,
(28:19):
so he doesn't he doesn't have a press conference.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
He's incognito.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yes, but that era. I was working for WQMF at
the time and we were just so everyone there was
just so fired up. And we were around the televisions
at the station because those are the days. You were
just at the station all day if you I mean
you were rarely at home. You were always at the
station because it was such a cool job.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
It was rock and roll.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Rock and roll radio was cool, and we watched every game.
He was crazy and it was just watching. If you
look at the NBA Top fifties of all time, everyone
on that team is in the top fifty all timers,
and it was just ridiculous. They were so good that
they rotated teams. Jordan had his his six or seven
(29:04):
and Charles Barkley had his six or seven, so they
would they would only play every other night so they
could go out in Barcelona and party or play golf.
That's how good they were. Well, Michael's teams playing tonight,
yours is tomorrow. You got the day off. Even with
Larry Bird didn't even play. I mean, he had a
back issue and he basically laid down and it looked
(29:27):
worse on TV because if you didn't know Larry Bird
had back problems. He laid down in front of this
with towels as a pillow during the games, kind of
like Lili even have to put me in. I'm gonna
take a nap but he's down there because he had
back is shoes. But if he didn't know that, You're
just like, what arrogance. It was so cool. They destroyed
(29:53):
everybody by sixty points. It wasn't even close. Now the
rest of the world is is obviously closer. And it
was a miracle we won last year, to tell you
the truth, because their basketball players are better. They just
they know the bat game of basketball better than our guys.
We just happen to have, you know, pretty good players
on our team. But it worked out. So NFL owners
(30:14):
voted they're going to play flag football. I mean, I
haven't seen because every flag football league is different, right,
so I don't know what the rules are of of
defensive lineman offensive lineman. I think there are three, but
I got to look at the setup. But this is
going to be fun to watch. I mean, Mahomes, I
(30:37):
mean seriously.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
I bet you get a lot more of the older
veteran quarterbacks who have a less likely chance, like if
they were to get injured in this scenario, they'd be
more okay for them to gold medal.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
It's a gold medal and it's flag. It's a gold
medal and flat.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
The first time yeah, maybe the first.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
It's not tackle, it's flag, and it's it's a gold medal.
They want to be able to say they have a
gold medal. I think they get the best.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, you might, you might, but it'd be so it'd
be terrible if if A Mahomes got injured in the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
And then who are the best wide receivers? Matt Sanders,
who's the best wide receivers in the NFL? Or are
you just too busy protecting the city.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
Hey, good morning, thanks for having me. The best wide
receivers in the NFL right now are gonna be Matthew Golden,
he's the rookie got of Green Bay. All about Christian Watson.
We've got Jalen Reid up there.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Oh well, these are just Wisconsin guys.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Oh yeah, Jamar Chase is the real answer, Jamark.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Well, here's the thing. They're gonna play in this league.
Are our wide receivers now are six four, two ten
and run like the wind? This is they're gonna score
possibly every play.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
They'll let off the gas a little bit, they have to.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
I think that's.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
What we want.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yeah, that's what we want.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
We want to see the Americans.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
We want to crush twenty five yards and okay, so
Lamar plays this game, Mahomes plays the second. Because you
want a guy that could in Lamar, especially in flag football.
Can you imagine him in flag football, the guy from
Croatia falling down breaking his own ankle.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
I think it'd be great. I mean, especially here in Louisville.
We'd love to see Lamar dominate on the field. Oh,
it doesn't matter if it's flag football or for the Ravens.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Dude, I'm a lifelong Pittsburgh fan and I've watched more
Ravens in the last four years that I have the Steelers.
Not that nice. Steelers have sucked and Lamar and them
have been very good. But that's it. I think it's great,
and it's on our it's in here, so even to
your point of not even traveling. It's in Los Angeles.
(32:40):
And by the way, the last time it was in
Los Angeles was nineteen eighty four, and we watched every
minute of that one. That was Carl Lewis. Carl Lewis
won everything.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
Yeah, unstoppable.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
It was unstoppable because it's awesome. All right, Matt, We're
gonna talk about stuff later in a minute. Here ten
minutes LMPD stiff. What's happening now? I think, yeah, big
thing for the big thing for the police. All right,
we'll talk about that. Meanwhile, Eedland and Edland, folks one
percent commission rate, don't don't give your equity to a
(33:11):
real estate agent. Your house is going to sell. Eedland's
been around for forty six years. They sold one half
of all the one percent deals last year were sold
through Eland and Edland. Why because they know what they're doing.
And the words started to spread. The owner told me,
I got to go buy more science to put in
yards because it's it's going crazy. Edland and Edland call
five nine eight hundred and get it done back after
(33:34):
