Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm waiting on the guitar. There's a little eddie there
for you. News Radio eight forty whas. Welcome to Tuesday.
One more hour to go and then claim bucket of course.
Terry Miners three o'clock News Radio eight forty whs. I'm
Dwight witting Tony Venedi is somewhere and John Auden's right

(00:21):
there steering the ship. How you liking being on the
show so far? How long has it been? Two months?
Three months?

Speaker 2 (00:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
I lose track. But it's fun steering the ship. It's
a big ship, but it's a is a very fun one.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
It's a stinky ship.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
It can be very stinky.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Sometimes we are quite stinky. So I didn't realize that
we did the story. I thought it was last week
about a Ed the zebra.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Oh yeah, that flying through the air. He's a helicopter.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
I didn't realize. So when we did the story last week,
I did what I'm gonna go ahead and put it
out there because I'm fair and honest. I did what
any journalist should never do. I assumed that they caught
Ed the zebra. They did not. I thought when we

(01:08):
did the story last I.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Saw him in a big basket. They were flying him
in a helico.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
I'm saying when we did the story last week, Yeah,
that's what you get when you walk in right in
the middle of the break. You know, almost what you
try to inject yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Myself with plenty.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
No listen, I thought last week when we did this
story that they had caught the zebra, that that the
same day. You know what I mean, you got it wrong.
You know I got it wrong. I got way wrong.
So I just did a retraction on my story, like
any journalist would.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
This zebra, I told you, runs down the street, takes
a right like he's on a computer, Like he's like this.
This zebra had personality and even writing in the little pouch,
his face looks like.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
I gotcha. Well, if you remember, the zebra was quite
smart because he ran into a referee convention in Nashville.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah it was a good move.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
And you know they're all black and white stripe too,
that he couldn't find it. But evidently the zebra was
free and rolling. How was it? How does that happen?
He was roaming free for over a week.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Uh yeah, let me read this real quick, because I
got this in the DMS. Not too long ago, we
were talking about the riots.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
And twenty twenty somebody slid in your DM.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, they did. My buddy from high school, he said, Yeah,
listening to you guys now, My grandfather was shot and
killed in the line of duty when my mom was
just thirteen years old. And those protesters we were talking
about spray painted over his name, he said, And I said, man,
I answered. Then he said his killer was the first
executed by death penalty in Louisville.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Well, well, since we're talking about the desecration of falling officers,
firefighters EMS Memorial Square, let me just take a couple
of seconds and remind if you haven't, if you've gotten
I have not. The guy's name was Greg Fisher. Greg

(03:08):
Fisher was the merit at the time. And not only
did they spray paint over the fallen officers' names, but
they also desecrated the eternal flame by cutting the gas line. Okay,
so Greg Fisher. His response was, well, make sure that
they have water, porta potties and electricity. And they were

(03:31):
camped out illegally at this square where we honor our
fallen officers, our fallen firefighters are falling EMS and this
piece of trash. His only concern was take care of
the people who are desecrating this monument for our officers
that have died, you know. So it's disgusting.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
The Tony Awards. I know you are a big Tony Awards.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Guy ob taping it, so don't tell me.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Well, okay, I won't tell you who won.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
No, go ahead, I'll know who. Are we kidding?

Speaker 2 (04:04):
No?

Speaker 1 (04:04):
I hope it was. The Tony Awards goes out to
people like Tony Soprano. Today it's playing the Street Awards
shows just for Tony.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Well, they revealed on the show that they they had
the highest grossing season of all time for Broadway, one
point nine billion dollars over across all productions, and I
thought wow, and then I went, oh, I know how
it's the cheapest ticket to see any of these things?
Are a thousand bucks to go to see a play

(04:38):
or a musical in New York. I'm like, hello, friends
that have gone up there to go and they're like, Hey,
we're going to see a play. And I'm like, so
the two tickets for your to go see the musical
or play was more than your hotel. It's like, this
is crazy. Why is it one thousand.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Dollars unless you know how like in TV shows they
have like a judge and to settle the case, So
say you don't have the money to pay mister VANNEDI,
but now you're gonna be his butler for two bunths.
You know when they do crap like that. If there
was a creative judge and they really wanted to smack me,
they would say, Okay, you're sentenced to go watch Cats
or whatever play it might be not Cats or I

(05:17):
don't rent or whoever. So stupid, I would ask the
judge of say, Cats, do you want me to go
right now?

Speaker 2 (05:24):
There's there's no play John liked it?

Speaker 1 (05:28):
No stop, Oh Skettles, Hey Skettles.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Uh, there's no there's no player musical. I would pay
a thousand dollars to go see I'm not, especially if
I'm sorry two thousand dollars, because I'm certainly not going
without Jackie. So it's you're telling me two thousand dollars
for us to go see a play. I'm not. There's
no play that I'm going to see for two thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well, I mean, there could be an argument for hair
because there's nudity all through it all right, but but
still still but.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I get it one point nine billion.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Here's an angle though, Oh Jackie, you want to go
see Cats. Yeah, that's a fine idea, but the tickets
are a thousand bucks apiece. So I'm gonna save our
family a thousand and you go. See what I mean?
She gets to see Cats.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
But these poor families that have I don't know, you know,
daughters that are you know, eight and ten, and they
want to go see the play what at Wicked whatever
it is, and they's like they're dream to go to
New York and actually go see a play on Broadway.
And it's just like, as a parent, you're just like, Okay,
it's three grand for us to go. This is crazy.
It's crazy. I don't know how they do it, but that's.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Why you're spending that kind of money, or you know,
spending thousands of dollars on your kids at Disney World.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Don't you ever, Yeah, don't you ever ever? Audi disparage
the mouse like that again. Disney World is a magical place.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Oh no, word, not Hamilton. But we're only five thousand
dollars more.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
I spent the most I spent for one week. We
were close about eight thousand.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Man? Wow? Well she was Maggie was six, Colley John
was eight, and I wanted to make We were deciding
whether we were going to do new carpet and new
carpet up the stairs and around the thing. And I said, well,
they'll never remember if I get a new carpet, but

(07:34):
they'll remember the trip to Dizzy. So I got the
one that's in the contemporary that overlooks I said, I
need a balcony that overlooks the castle because I wanted that.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
It sounds like that sounds so affordable, So I'm thinking
I'll coddle Lodge.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
So I got it. Yeah, And she was six and
it was the cutest thing ever. So even if we
weren't in the park at the time, she could sit
there and she would she sit there in a little
pajamas in a robe, and she'd put her head on
the balcony rail and she'd watched the fireworks over the
castle and it he was very special.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Does she remember it?

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Though?

Speaker 2 (08:11):
I also I got to ask her.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
I got to ask her right on the air. See
how she answers he's.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Working working, She's got like she's in charge of like
sixty kids where at a camp.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Getting back to the zebra, Ed the Zebra was captured
in Tennessee. The Rutherford County Sheriff's Office confirmed that Ed
the Zebra was finally apprehended in the community of Christina
in a state of The Sheriff's office said Ed was
airlifted to an animal trailer that awaited his return.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
That's a perfect name for that animal. If you watch
the videos, watch the video of the of the zebra
flying through the air and then in the landing where
the truck was. It was funny. The couple that owns
the zebra was it was revealed that the couple has
over one hundred animals.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah, and they were wondering to know if they're going
to charge charge and they said, well, it's not really
a black and white area on the law.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
This is all just a teaser for the z Netflix show.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
What is this all? Stop? There's no Zebra King. You
know you have me For a second, I went what again?
Some people stopped watching The Tiger King because it was
it started to get into animal abuse, which was the
whole point of the thing. But people got lost in
the characters in the show which were real people, but

(09:33):
the the the chimpanzee one. If you don't watch it
because it's awful. These people are crazy.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
And and do you think the tiger I don't think.
Could be wrong, and usually I am. I don't think
the Tiger King gets his legs without COVID because we're
all stuck. Because for example, here's what it's all. That's
here's a real world example. I never watched Survivor in
my life, not one right, Okay, COVID happens. It's called

(10:03):
we're locked down, and I go through Netflix. I see Survivor.
I thought, what the hell has got a beach? So
I sat there in our kitchen and watched Survivor. I
wouldn't have done that without No, you're.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
One hundred percent right, Tiger King. Part of their success
was it was COVID and we all needed something to watch.
I think if that show comes out now, it's popular,
but no way it takes over pop culture.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
First viral thing entertainment wise during COVID correctly was correct.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
You're absolutely one hundre percent correct. That is true.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well, you did a story similar to this. This, uh,
this is Japan. Only Japan bars parents from giving kids
stupid names.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
US a lot of countries doing this.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I wish, I wish the US would.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Move to they did. Did the story last week?

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah? No, but theos were like, you know, obvious ones
like Adolf Hiller and Jesus and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Messiah, they Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
People just make up names, yes, and it's it's have
a naming court, say, don't know, try Kevin or Mike.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Anyway, some of the babies that were being born in
Japan were getting giving uh funny names like Pikachu Pudding
or Prince. The others.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Pikachu Pikachu Pudding sounded like a double name.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Bik at you Pudding sounds like a porn star.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
The second the second the kid can change his name,
he will or she will.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Do you see that new adult movie with Pikachu Pudding.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Extra hod baby?

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Uh? An American Airlines flight couldn't land in Italy. Here's
what happened. They were too big for the runway. It
seems like you would have fought that out before you
planted your flight to UH.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
I know what that's like airport.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Oh did you see old Zippich? Hey, Uncle Milty. Yes,
I didn't do the story. But now that you bring
it up, Yeah, did you see where some people are
claiming that taking the Ozmpic shot another that is making
their wiener larger.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
I did not see that story. I tooked my first
shot about eight days ago. We haven't really talked about it,
but it was. It's barely it. It's really kind of
it's an amazing drug. For sure.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
It is optical illusion because your your legs will get
skinnier and there you go. But anyway, get back to
the air American Airlines. An American Airlines flight bound for Naples,
Italy had to change its course and divert to Rome.
The Bowling seven eighty seven was too big for the
Naples airport to handle. Again, it seems like that's something
that could have been brought up pre flight, the airline

(12:43):
calling that operational limitations. They couldn't land the Bowling seven
eighty seven, so they had to land safely in Rome.
Passengers there got were instructed to get on a bus
and take a two hour journey to their original I'd
be I hate anyway.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Really, I I hates just stopping in Dallas on his
way to Mexico.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Because the wheels fall off every time. Every single time
without failure. In Dallas. Uh, the lady that hands out
pretzels caught in sick. We'll just grab her own damn pretzels.
What was it?

Speaker 5 (13:19):
You don't understand? FAA says you need at least two
pretzel delivery monitors on each flight in case of a
pretzel emergency.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Can you show me in the eighth we're in this
FAA book. I'll look under p for pretzels.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Sir, back away before we call security. I'll give you
one more warning, mister Whitman, it's Witten Witten. Mister Whitman
settled down.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
They used to hand out peanuts, and obviously they couldn't
do it anymore because so many kids peanuts.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Oh that makes more sense.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
So they so many kids bats have peanut night. It's
it's insane. My kid's school I learned that about twenty
years ago. My kids are in cool and they had
whole peanut free tables and I was like, I don't
even remember one kid having a Peanuts analogy. When I
was growing up. I was like, what is going on?

Speaker 1 (14:08):
You know who? I think it's all fake and it's
just propaganda from Big cashw or Big Pretzel or big
I think you just cracked the Are you Cagney or lazy?
Because you just cracked that case.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
I've always felt myself as Lacey.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
I'm more of a Cagney because I'm fat.

Speaker 2 (14:27):

No, he does, he does about Uh he does write.

Oh yeah, I saw one show that was there was
an intermiss. He used to do intermissions. Yeah, but I
saw one go six hours one time.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah. It's it's crazy to think that you're in the audience,
you're seeing Springsteen, which is a treat anyway, because how
long could he go? Even though he looks great, doesn't
look as cool as he used to.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
His most recent set list, he did thirty songs.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
I don't know how long of a show it is,
but that seems pretty long.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
That's about two. Yeah, it's about to fifteen an hour,
depending on how much he talks about how many times
he talks about his parents.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Say we started, that's probably about it, probably two and
a half.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah, yeah. Uh So he brings out Paul McCartney at
the end, come on like you were there. That's pretty huge.

Speaker 1 (17:40):

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Just come it was Liverpool to go.

Speaker 5 (17:44):

stage and I'm on the stage.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Good did he did? He say two songs twist and shout,
I bet no, can't buy me love, can't buy me love?

Speaker 2 (17:55):
What else it doesn't say?

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Oh, here's this whole coold kit boy little.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
It's pretty cool. Oh, come on man, the Beatles.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Remember we were talking about tipping. I forgot how tipping's
out of control. Remember what we were talking about that
you said, Paul McCartney's reminded me. I was going to
say this during that conversation, but somehow my mind forgot it.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Huh, we broke it.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
I was buying a Beatles T shirt online, not in
the store, an online store, and when I was checking
out with buying this Beatles T shirt, it said, oh,
would you like to support our staff by tipping twenty
twenty five or thirty percent?

Speaker 4 (18:39):
You pay your people, not to pay your people so
I don't have to, or put it on the price
of the food, so I can make that decision where
I want to buy it or not.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
I did that at this there was a there's a
salad place where you make it as you go down
the line. Oh yeah, salad like subway but it was salads.
And at the end they you go, they switched the
little iPad thingy around there, and you have choices of
twenty twenty five or thirty percent. There's no fifteen option.

(19:10):
And I was just like, you just made It's like
fast food. It just you just made it the only
thing I had. I'm not sitting down and you're serving me.
Why am I paying twenty percent tip? If I'm sitting down,
you're bringing me a drink and you're taking you're bringing
me my food and you're picking up the food. You're
doing the service. I'll tip you, but not if you're
just making it.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
And I know this is crazy, sir, sir, First of all,
subtled down. Second of all, you're acting like a fascist
and a racist fascist. You're transphobic racist fastest here you go.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
It sounds more like I'll tell you.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
The other thing I hate worse than that is when
you go to the grocery store whatever it might be,
and you're ringing up and the grocery the non gender
specific radio grocery person looks it says, okay, you're total.
You got let's see it's grocery. You got a total
of seven items here's your total is two hundred and
eighty five dollars. Do you want to donate two dollars

(20:08):
to blah blah blah? And I always say, well, no, I.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Don't love that charity.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
By the way, I don't want to. Don't donate two dollars,
but feel free to take a percentage of all of
this money I'm spending with your store, take a percentage
of that and apply it towards blah blah blah. Right, charity.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
They take care a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
I'm not a big fan of them. Let me look
him up, as a matter of fact, see exactly how
much their money gets to the cost you.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Know who's not. You don't have to tip lots of
posta al right baby. They have paninis there. The chicken
and proshutto chicken sandwich is one of my favorites. Again,
these are the hot sandwiches, the spinach and feta, oh
Man turkey and goat cheese, the ruben. The ruben is great.

(20:53):
They also have the pepperoni panini. You gotta check these out.
Those are just some of the sandwiches they have. Of course,
they have the sub, the Italian sub. The Cuban is
what I get a lot of times. The ham and
cheese is great. The meatball sub because they use the
sour dough bread they bake there every single day, so
it's baked that day bread. They make the meatballs there,

(21:15):
and they make the Marinera there. Also. Try to find
out in any other deli and place in Louisville. You can't.
It's only at Lots of Pasta Lotsapasta Louisville dot com
to check it out. Or go to thirty seven seventeen
Lexington Road in the heart of Saint Matthew's. Yes, I

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Ah good good here broh see that?

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Uh huh, I get the headphone.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
When I went to Frank Weaver's funeral, there were five
hundred people there and I was one of two white
people there. And I've never been to an authentic celebration
at a funeral.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Before.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
It was incredible. I wish I had brought my kids
because they it's crazy. Bill Durroff was the other guy,
but they would, you know that when he would do that.
So during the sermon, So when when they when they
would make an emphasis on Jesus or whatever, the guy
at the piano would go, yeah, they would do that,

(22:36):
Jesus is the Lord. It was so much fun were
I went to, not that Frank was gone.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
But our buddy Dwayne Watkins rest is soul, you know.
I went to his father's funeral. It was two hours
long when I left. And as we're walking in, it
was in July, like late late July or early August,
when it's really hot. And of course I'm wearing a
suit because I want to be respectful, and so we

(23:06):
walk in the hand is these little fans, you know,
the hand fans you wave. Yeah. I said, well, okay,
I guess it's had her name on her his name
on it. And so the air conditioning in the church
was out, but they went long and strong for two hours.
And two hours I said, I'm out so much I

(23:28):
can do.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
They walked in with Frank in the casket and the
pallbearers had him on his shoulders on their shoulders, so
the shoulder was like this, and they danced in Unison
with Frank on their shoulder.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
That's really cool. It was.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
It was pretty cool. I do want to say thank
you to Dean Brauner for sending this letter out.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Dean's a friend of the show. He's a big friend
of the show.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
He said, he sent me a coin says the United
States Navy and the other side is Saint Michaels. He says, look,
we had it blessed at church. Please give this to
John because he heard that John's going he's in the navy,
so he said he could keep this coin. I carry
it with him all over the world.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
And then he also Dean he else Dean brought it.
Also sent me this nice box. I haven't en wrapped
it yet, but it's ticking, so I'm only guessing it's
a backup alarm clock. Hey, y'all want to find out
a little ado, a little history.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
I like U history. He was reported all he was
my favorite subject in school.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
John, you might be the quickst I just mentioned it,
and you are. You got it right there.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
That's more of a whip. I don't know if that
was the best sound effect.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Are you ready?

Speaker 1 (24:45):
It was today June sixth, nineteen thirty five. William Wilson
and doctor Robert Smith of Akron, Ohio found it Alcoholics Anonymous. Wow,
this slogan one year thirty five. The slogan one day
at a Time was also also conceived.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
That date, and that is the reason they called the
TV show one Day at a Time.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
And thank god for Alcoholics Anonymous. It has saved a
lot of Yes, it has friends and family members of
the wit.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
And there's no true words. Then I got today, Yeah,
I got today.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
That's it focusing on one day at a time. It
was today, June June tenth, Thank you. Nineteen forty four,
Joe Knuxall officially became the youngest Major League Baseball player
when he took the field at the age of fifteen
years old.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Well, that was during the Second World War and so
many of the professional baseball players went off and play
and were fighting the war, so I assume they were
just looking for people that could play. That's also when
no no offense to this guy in his youngest And
that's also.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
That's also when Madonna started her league.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
That's not no, that isn't based on a true story.
A league of her own.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Hadna Tom Hanks.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
So you know what, there were many Ted Williams, maybe
one of the greatest hitters of all time. I bought
his frozen head as an auction. He was a pilot.
He flew missions in World War Two and then went
back here. I'll go back to baseball when a wars.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Or well, speaking of pilots, it was today in nineteen
forty eight, the Chuck Yeger yes, exceeded the speed of
sound and a bell XS number one.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yes, So those things dropped out of a B twenty five.
So what it is? So instead of bombs, they rigged
this thing to where it didn't take off, so it
would it would they drop it out and then the
jet engine would start. And they thought that if you
if you broke the sound barrier, that the entire plane
would fall apart right and blast open. So people think, oh, well,

(26:51):
that's nothing. No, it was a huge deal. Chuck Yeger
thought he was going to die, all right, So they
didn't know. The night before he got drunk, fell off
his horse and broke his ribs. Oh, so he got
in and he couldn't he couldn't shut the canopy, so
they'd cut off a broomstick so you could jam it
in there because his ribs were broken. This is back

(27:12):
when these guys were tough. Man shut the cockpit with it.
He shut the canopy with a cut off broomstick. Wow.
And then he broke the sound barrier, which is soon
after that they kept breaking it.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah, you got, you got. You got stories like that,
and then you got stories like Ronnie a Lot, Hey,
your fingers, we're gonna need to do this to cut
it off. What cut it off? Put me back of
the game. And then now you got you're in my
safe space. Please back up.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
And by the way, when they when he crossed the
sound barrier, that you heard the boom. They thought he
blew up. And then here he comes out of the sky.
It's so American. It's so oh, I love it.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
How about that love that? It was also today June tenth,
nineteen seventy two, Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Brais is
tied with Gil Hodges of the Giants the National League
record for most Grand Slam home runs in a career.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
He was good yo fourteen.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
The Braves beat the Phillies fifteen to three to make
the celebration.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
He that poor guy. When he broke and he was
getting close to breaking Babe Bruce record, he got so
many death threats that it just became normal. Everyone says, hey,
if you break the we're gonna kill you, and they
use certain language that was awful. But he I'm going

(28:36):
to assume he it's interesting. Sometimes he says it didn't
bother me, and the other ones were remade. Itim miserable.
That year was miserable.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
I remember having a Hank Aaron baseball g love and.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Didn't he have a candy bar or something? No, it
was Babe Ruth, Babe Ruth.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Well, there's an old Henry which is old Henry.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
I think it's probably Hank Aaron. No, I bet you
it is.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Who was Cat named after that? One of the members
of Cats?

Speaker 2 (29:03):
All right, what else you got?

Speaker 1 (29:04):
I didn't realize this until I pull the stories from
this day in history. It was today June tenth, nineteen
seventy seven, that James Earl Ray escaped with six others
from Brushy Mountain State Prison. Yeah, in Tennessee. I didn't
know the escape.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
He escaped and was captured in Paris.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
He was captured on June thirteenth, nineteen seventies in France.
I doubt it because he was in France. It was
three days later.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
He said something about a flagpole and underpants, and he
wanted to find out the old saying, let's see your underpants.
Whatever I see something I see France, I see underpants. No,
I believe he was capt Thank you. Slow clap too
slow claps. Okay, all right, that's it. I believe he

(29:51):
was captured in Paris. Really, I told you history is
my favorite subject.

Speaker 5 (29:55):
We we.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Even though most of history's is that's not wrong.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
But we just talked about this, not on the air,
but during commercial breaks, and then this popped up. I
had pulled it. It was today. In nineteen eighty five, Herschel,
Walker of the New York Generals broke the two thousand
yard mark and rushing. That's that whole USFL.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
That's funny that they came up.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
But you and I were talking about this failed league, yes,
and also the XFL during the commercials during the season
as the Generals won over Jacksonville thirty one to twenty four.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
People don't realize John Elway. Yeah, USFL. Oh, Herschel Walker ESFL.
All these guys started and it was only around for
a season. Flippy pants Watson USFLH flippy pants Wilson, Dude,
you got wrong. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Come on, dude, Oh stinky finger Watson, My bad.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Right.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
This feat had only been reached twice in the National
Football NFL, once by O. J. Simpson and seventy three
for two thousand and three yards and Eric Dickerson in
nineteen eighty four for two thousand, one hundred and five.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yard yep, and then he went to the Dallas how
about years No Minnesota Viking, no Dallas Cowboys, and then
into the Vikings?

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Was USFL? Was that one year?

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Herschel Walker's story?

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:21):
One year?

Speaker 1 (31:22):
One year.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
A lot of people say that Donald Trump screwed all
that up because the same Donald Trump you see today
was who he was back.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Now, okay, this is how we this is how we
went down and got to talking on this. While we
were in commercial break, I told my told Tony that said,
the wife and I were looking for something. We want
to see something where there's tons of seasons. Yeah, yeah,
you know, so we just banged let it row. So
last night we started watching the celebrity apprentice with Donald Trump,
and you said, he's the exact same guy, same dude,

(31:50):
the same guy that you see come out the White
House lotster, The way he talks to these people, it's
the same thing, same guy.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Apparently the documentary USFL put it on t This is
before he was president. He ran for president, so there
wasn't politics involved. They said. Basically they were opinioning it
on Donald that the league broke up. But Herschel have
you ever seen the Herschel Walker story. He was a
fat little kid and used to get beat up, really,
so he started doing five hundred push ups and five

(32:18):
hundred sit ups a day and then racing the train
in front of his house. Every single day. As the
trains went by, he would race the train and all
he did was push ups and sit ups and became
this this human beast of Herschel athletes.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Herschel Walker legs.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Oh my gosh, trying to tackle that dude.

Speaker 1 (32:38):

first direct electronic communication experiment between the nervous system of
two humans was carried out by Kevin Warwick in the
United Kingdom.

And then finally today It was the worst ending of
any series finale is today. In two thousand and seven,
the Sopranos ended with the infamous cut to black ending.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
By the way, the rover were supposed to last just
a couple of weeks. It ended up working so well
it lasted for years, and then it finally powered down. Well,
then all of a sudden a year later or months later,
they thought they started getting signals from it. They're like,
