Speaker 1 (00:00):
Anybody else exhausted from the weekend. Sometimes Mondays are a
respite from the weekend. I want to punch people in
the face that say there's nothing to do in this town. Really,
are you serious? This weekend? John has been crazy. And
(00:21):
by the way, Dwight, he'll be in a little bit.
He has a weekly prostate exam and this one could
only be scheduled at nine, so he'll be in this weekend.
There were so many things going on, Catholic summer picnics,
Saint Matthew's seventy fifth anniversary, the Jewish Community Center had
(00:44):
an event yesterday with food falafels. Who doesn't love a
falafel crusade for children. There were so many events this weekend.
I'm leaving off about ten different things that you could
have done this weeknd.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
You didn't even mention the one that you and Nick
just talked about, which was the Louisville Baseball Super Regionals.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Exactly. I'm just exhausted. I'm just like, I don't want
It's insane. All these events are so much fun. And
even when I got home from the crusade yesterday, I
get the back half of the game that was stressful
to watch. I was like, baseball is not supposed to
be this stressful. What is going on? Because you knew
(01:30):
it was gonna come down to one tiny mistake. The
al Pacino's speech in any given Sunday where he says,
they're inches in this game of inches, and there are
inches everywhere, and you got a claw and scrap for
those inches. That's what that came down to. Millimeters yesterday
(01:53):
when that kid stretched out from Miami to get to
that ball and it went off the front of his glove.
I looked at Jackie and said, that was the mistake.
That was it. That's the door opening, and they took
advantage and then they closed it out. But that ninth inning,
I was just like, I'm about to have another heart attack.
(02:17):
Louisville going back to the World Series is crazy right
now with all the upheaval of scholarships in nil and
a different ballgame. It's after COVID, could damn McDonald be
successful in this era? Well, there's your answer, and then
(02:39):
let's not dismiss people. Murray State is one game away.
Murray State is one game away from the College World Series.
Kentucky would have two teams out of eight teams in
the College World Series that my friend, as they used
(02:59):
to say ten years ago, is Craig Cray. I'm just
glad Vandy lost. I'm I don't. I've never Vandy drives
me crazy. I'm not a Vandy fan. They were the
number one team in the nation by a wide margin,
and they lost before even the Super Regional. They didn't
(03:19):
make it through the regional portion of it. What is
dam McDonald says, that's baseball, So Louisville baseball is back.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Have you ever been at the bottom of a dog pile.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I've not, But it can't be. I mean, I'm sure
the amount of adrenaline going through your body makes up
for all the pain that you're dealing with, but it
can't be.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
It can't be.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
It's not fun. It's not fun. And the only time
I've been part of dog piles were in football uniform,
so you had a face mask, helmet. But let me
tell you, it's not I always have a little anxiety
because I've been on the bottom of those dog piles.
It's not fun. You have all those people on top
of you and you can't breathe, and there is a
(04:04):
little bit of panic of get off me, I can't breathe.
I'm sorry every time I see that dogpile, and I'm
so happy they're winning and going to the World Series,
but I always have a little anxiety. I'm like the
guy at the bottom that sucks. It sucks, and I'm
not claustrophobic at all, but when I can't breathe and
(04:27):
I have thirty people on top of me, and I'm like,
when are they gonna get up? I can't. I don't
want to sound like a punk, but it's not fun.
I'm just saying it's not fun. But boy, man, that
baseball team needed that, and good for them. And I
(04:49):
have no idea what hell they're gonna We've never really
done well in the College World Series the other five
times that they've been there, but hopefully this year will
be different because it didn't see they weren't supposed to
be here. That team was supposed to lose in regions
and that's it, not even close to this, And somehow
they woke up and became a team. And if you
(05:10):
listen to the team in the post game, that's all
they sounded like, was just like, man, you know what,
We're glad we went to the World we're going with
the World Series, but I'm just glad I get to
play with these guys some more. That's what you want
to hear, dude, that's what you want to hear. When
it comes to college athletics, that's just awesome. In the
age of let's pay everybody, or if you don't pay me,
(05:32):
I'm leaving, you get that, which is awesome, and that
is a that is part of the issue with college
athletics now, and we talked about it earlier before we
went on the air. Title nine had to happen. It's
been one of the best things to happen to college athletics.
(05:52):
But boys' sports were sacrificed. I mean, baseball. You could
be the best baseball player in the state and get
a quarter scholarship. Your parents are still or you are
paying for college even though you're the best baseball player
in the state, and you get a partial scholarship because
(06:13):
you can't add up the numbers to football. If you
took football out of it, it would ease everything, but
they never did that. So, I mean there's a lot
of boys' sports that suffered. Wrestling teams, I mean, I
think these used to be two hundred and seventy five
wrestling teams across the nation. Now I think there's less
than one hundred because you just don't have the scholarships.
(06:36):
So the baseball players survive on quarter scholarships. Every softball
player has a full scholarship, full scholarship. Hell, there was
times I heard that they were walking around campus trying
to give away scholarships for the rowing team, because who
does that in high school in Kentucky, no one. Like
there's not a rowing team at Wagner or even the
(07:02):
private schools. There's no rowing team. So they're walking around
looking for tall, lean girls because the taller you are,
the better you are at rowing. I guess, but that's it.
But title line had to happen and benefited everybody except
for him except for boy sports. But man, what a
(07:25):
what a weekend, including the Belmont. There was just so
much going on. I mean, I wonder how many people
walked into work and went, I'm glad I'm at work
right now, take a break. Sovereignty smoked journalism to take
the Belmont. It's about it. I mean, he looked like
he was shot out of a cannon, went right by journalism, Like, yeah,
(07:46):
I don't think so he looked like Hussein Bolt like
teased him a bit when he was by, like hey
were side by side, and he was like teasing him
and then went, yeah, all right, dude. And of course
the crusade for children yesterday five point nine million dollars.
(08:08):
What a day. It's just it's just special. That was
probably I don't know my twenty fifth or twenty sixth crusade,
and it's still going strong. The fire departments are still
giving a lot. People still care about the crusade. Why
because it's for kids. Every dime goes to the kids.
(08:28):
Terry Miners was there all day yesterday. I did about
four hours hanging out and it was just great to
hang out with people and then people that care about
their crusades so much. But that is that's put to bed.
You could you heard it right here, you know on
news radio eight forty WHAS but in simulcast obviously WHS eleven.
(08:49):
Both of us have been for seventy two years. Seventy
two years. But it's it's a great weekend and I
thank everybody and Terry Miners there. He had Saturday night
till about one am, got up and was back in
at nine because I did an eight o'clock hour and
then he stayed all day long, so he will probably
(09:10):
not be on the air. He used to take this
day off, and I think that's the case today Russ Smith.
A lot of U L stories in the news today.
That's the way it used to be for quite some time.
Russ Smith got popped with a DWI and then people
(09:30):
are screaming, oh well, they're you know, they're honing in
on him, or he should have walked away because he
had a blood alcohol of point zero seven to three,
which is just below the legal limit of point zero eight.
But he did, you know, he did the illegal U
turn deal and they're saying he wasn't He didn't do
(09:53):
too well on the look. The reason you have the blood,
the air of the blood alcohol test and these sobriety
tests where you walk and all that that they combine
those two together to make a decision. And I think
he probably put out of the police officer in a
bad spot to say, I want to be able to
(10:15):
say somebody come get you. Can't. I can't have you
drive away, but somebody can go and get you, or
I got to lock you up. And I think the
rule is they if you're locked up for some alcohol charge,
it's six hours. I think you have to stay in
the lock up for six hours and then you can
get out. I have no I have no idea whether
he got out earlier or not. But he's got one
(10:36):
of the best lawyers, if not the best lawyer, Romans,
in the city. If you ever get in trouble, just
call Romans. He'll get you out or he'll help you
either way. So there you go. Russ Smith got popped
with a DWI. A lot of people want to make
this a bigger story than it is. No, he shouldn't
have gotten the car. He had two bourbons. You shouldn't
(10:57):
get in the car. Well, I'm not saying we didn't
all make that mistake. We've all sort of made that
mistake multiple times. So I'm not indicting him. But at
this point with uber, there's no excuse.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Well the other thing too is I believe it happened
in the Highlands and what was going on in the
highlands this weekend?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah weeks not smart.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
No, when you shoot a UI in the Highlands with
all that stuff that's been going on with when they've
already advertised that there's going to be enhanced police presence
in that area.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, that we look, we're sponsored by the Kentucky Elphis
a Fighway Safety but we believe down here, we believe
this is important. Yeah, and he's too easy these days
to avoid it.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
He admitted that he had had two Bourbon neats before
he before.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
So what I'm saying, when you have two Bourbons, you
got to think huh again, most kids today, and he's
not a kid anymore. I can't believe he's thirty. Whether
they say he's thirty four. Yeah, Russ Smith is thirty four.
We're all that means. If Russ Smith is thirty four, I'm.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
How old you've been lined to Dwight about your age?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Then I don't even want to talk about it. And
again Dwight will be in in the ten o'clock hour.
He he's got his weekly prostate exam. He scheduled it
every single week. He enjoys it. So this time it
can only be done at nine. He goes, okay, I said,
you know the show starts at nine. He goes, priorities,
(12:22):
bro priorities. He said, okay, all right, so I need
today Monday is like, I'm so glad. Usually I'm like,
oh man, the work week. I'm so glad the weekend's over.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
You did a lot of work this weekend down to us.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Turned seventy five. That was a hell of a party.
I got to tell you. The heart of rock and
roll is the name of the band Huey Lewis. In
the news, the lead singer looked exactly like Huey Lewis.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
When he started to talk to me, he sounded like
Huey Lewis. And when he got on stage, here's what
I'll predict. I think if Huey Lewis actually followed him,
I bet you couldn't tell. He's saying Huey Lewis better
than Huey Lewis sing.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Huey Lewis ain't singing much.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
No, I know, it's hearing problems and that.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
And that hurts because the very first eighties cruise I
went on, he was on there and that's the only
show I missed. And then right after that is when
he started when he came out and admitted he was
having the inner ear problem. So I'll have to go
listen to harder rock and roll now to get my
Huey Lowis.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Oh my gosh, dude, he was amazing. The band was amazing.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I'm always I always love those cover bands that do
something like that and they take on the whole persona
of the band, whether it's the Beatles, whether it's Led Zeppelin.
I mean, they get the moves, they get the hair,
they get the clothes. It's it's like he looks like him.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I mean he looked like him, he talked like him,
he walked like him, and he just when he got
on stage, I was like, that's Huey Lewis. It's crazy
Van Morrison tribute band, the One Irish Rover. The lead
singer is front Pack. Garvey is from Louisville and this
is his first time he played in Louisville in his
entire career.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So a bunch of his high school buddies from the
seventy three class at Trinity were there. It was great.
It was just a great event. But again I'm worn out, dude,
Ice Monday, Dude, I'm so glad to.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Be Did we break a record again?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Five point nine, which is good just under last year,
just a little under last year, but five point nine
is pretty good. It's all for the kids. So that
there was just so much going on. I'm glad I'm
at work on a Monday. Okay, I needed arrest, So
sure I needed arrest. That's exactly right. I needed a
rest because I loved this part of my life. Nine
(14:35):
to noon is really my favorite time except for dealing
with Dwight. But nine to noon is my favorite time
of the day.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
That was you know when I was when I was
a program director in Texas and was on the air.
I worked three to seven. That was my I come
in the door, I get on the air for those
four hours. That's my personal space. That's like my guy time.
I get on the radio and get to talk with
people and no sales staff, no commercials, no out outside
stuff is just right here in the studio. So I
get it.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Uh, we'll get you some more serious topics in the
next Wait, it's Monday, so we're just gonna roll through here.
All right, you're gonna do the joke of today for Dwight.
I am.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I am standing in for the very grievously injured Dwight
witting You know he heard his achilles tendon.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Oh I didn't hear that.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yeah it's bad man. Yeah, wait till you see him
come in.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
It's no, no, yeah, yeah, all.
Speaker 3 (15:26):

Speaker 1 (15:26):
It is mama joke Monday, al right, mama joke, Monday.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Hey fellas, hey john Yo, Mama so fat?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
How fat?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
She was floating in the ocean. Spain claimed her for
their new world.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
It's pretty good. It's pretty good, all right. So it
is a Monday, and I'm thinking I need some comfort
food that's clean and good, and that's lots of pastas.
So I'm gonna roll over to lots of pasta. At
thirty seven seventeen, Lexington Rode in the Heart of Saint Matthew's.
Jackie called yesterday because she was at Kroger, and she goes,
what's the lots of pasta soup that's in the refrigerator
(16:05):
And I said the white chili and she was like, oh, okay,
I'm good with that. It was so delicious. I had
eaten the chicken noodle a little bit earlier in the day.
We love the soups. We love the breads because there's
four or five ingredients of the breads. If you read
your bread label at Kroger, it's got twenty things. It's
incredible the chemicals they put in bread. But at Lots
(16:26):
of Pasta. The bread is baked fresh every single day.
That's what you get at Lots of Pasta. Thirty seven seventeen.
Lexington road back after this on news Radio eight forty whas, Hi,
welcome back news Radio EID forty whas The Tony and
Dwight chow brought you by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety.
(16:49):
Dwight be here any minute now and a doctor's appointment.
I could not be moved, so he'll be here. Small
a plane crash in Tennessee. John, I don't know if
you saw this single engine Piper PA twenty eight. I
don't know what that means. But it was one of
those sky diving planes. Okay, Well the door opens on
(17:09):
the side, lost altitude and end up crashing upside down.
And I get it. The people on the internet have
no feelings and they just want to make a meme, right.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
And.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
They want to make a joke because it's a sky
diving plane. And people were asking, h I wonder, I
wish there was a way for these people to get
out of that plane. It's not funny, Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Did anybody I mean, I guess we don't know, like
somebody I feel like you would have thought somebody had
the idea to jump out with their skydiving gear, but
maybe nobody wanted to be the one to take it
from everybody else.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
If you're on a plane that's gonna go down, yeah
that's the plane you want to be on because you
got a backpack with a parachute, and.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
What if they're up there like fighting over me. I
don't know if they'd be insensitive talking about like that
since they died.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
But no, no, no, no, there's no there's nobody did. Six
of the twenty people on board were taken to the hospital. No,
there's some life threatening injuries, but they're nobody's dead yet.
But there have been those scenes on the on the
like James Bond. I remember James Bond was fighting with Jaws,
the killer guy Jaws over the last parachute and whoever
(18:28):
got the last parachute because the plane was going down,
Because it was one of those scenes in the movies
whether they turn around after their fighting and the two
pilots say they wave goodbye and they jump out and
then they look at the cockpit and there's nobody there
and they're like, don't So if you're on a plane.
If you have to be on a plane that is
(18:48):
going to crash, you would want to make it the
one that's the skydiving one, because at least you're ready
to go. But a lot of times you don't have time.
If it takes a nose dive, you're not discussing anything
because you can't get to the door or whatever it is.
But thank god no one passed away on this one.
Good on the pilot, whoever the pilot was, to get
(19:09):
to get down and crash to where no one died
out of twenty people. So there you go. To cruise
or not to cruise, Not Tony Cruz, not cruise hikes
Point on a Friday or Saturday night, or Iroquois Park,
but to go on one of those cruises through the
Caribbean and wherever. European cruises. I went on one cruise, John,
(19:33):
I'm not so sure. I might go on one of
those European river cruises, the smaller ones, Viking. I think
they're called Viking cruises. I do that because I'm old
now and that sounds appealing.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I love to do one of those rock and roll cruises,
the ones that are bands hosted by different bands.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I just I'm not sure if I do. And I
went on Norwegian, which is Man that is like it's
like the second level down from super expensive. So the
food was incredible and everyone was incredible, but I'm just
not sure. I'm a cruise guy. I went overboard. It
was like my wife with our first child. She thought
(20:16):
this is a license. She's never eaten a lot, so
she just went after it and gained too much weight
on the first one. The second one she barely gained anyway,
because she learned her lesson. But I did that on
our first cruise and our only cruise. We went on
this eight day cruise with a bunch of radio people
and I just got so fat I was. I went
(20:36):
down to the buffet and they made this, you know,
like cinnamon bun, right, yeah, but this one was like
a different mix. It had the icing, the cream cheese
icing on top, but the whole tray was swimming in butter.
And I would go down and literally have three of
(20:59):
them every morning. I gained a legit twelve pounds of fat,
because sometimes it's fake fat. Sometimes you go on vacation,
you gain six pounds and then two days after you're
back for vacation. It's off, so it's not was it.
I guess it was like waterweight or beer weight or whatever.
I gained, legit, twelve pounds on this cruise. And the
(21:23):
food was and that's part of the problem. You could
pick up the phone at three in the morning and go,
I want a dozen powdered donuts and it's at your
door in ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
So these these cruises are basically just eat a fonds.
They're just yes, gain as much way as you can
over However, many days that you're on.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
This cruise razing. You're just grazing all day because there
was a buffet open all the time, and then they
have the ficial breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and then they
have buffets open all the time, and the food is
really good, Like it's not crappy food. I mean it
was that was either drinking or you're eating. And I
(22:05):
got it again. I was sober at the time, which
I can't believe I went on a booze cruise where
everyone was just drinking all the time. Now, some people
you won't believe this. There are some old folks that
don't go to the old folks farm farm home retirement community,
(22:32):
which they're so much better now than they used to be.
And I don't want to chase the squirrel, But retirement
communities were awful. They were basically medical facilities. When I
was a kid, you went to see your grandma at
the at the at the retirement community and you were
just like, this is a hospital. Nowadays, they have amenities,
they have bars, they have happy hour, the food is good,
(22:55):
there's stuff to do, but there are there are years
long cruises are six month cruises okay? And I met
a guy that worked on one of these boats and
he said, oh, yeah, he goes we have a six
month cruise, and he goes a lot of older couples
because there's a doctor on board and you need everything
(23:17):
is there. So they booked a six month cruise. It's
cheaper than some retirement communities, and they travel the world
and they book them back to back, so they'll be
on the boat for six months, travel the world. They're
off for two weeks and then they're back on for
two weeks. So think about it. You sell your house,
(23:39):
you don't need a car, and you go on to
a cruise for six months. Could you do that?
Speaker 4 (23:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Because I would feel so far removed from reality that
it'd be one of those things that where you when
you get back to whatever your normal life is like
after the cruise, I feel like there would be a
lot longer of an adjustment period to just kind of
it's like being in a greenhouse right Well, sit there
and you enjoy yourself, and it's it's one of those
(24:09):
things that you get so used to it that I
don't know if you get sick of it or not,
but it's just a lot.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
You see, that's a twenty seven to twenty eight year
old talking. When you get older, you've seen like everything
in the news. Yeah, we've done this before. Yeah, So
you get to a point with your age to where
we all used to be so active. We're gonna be
We're gonna be we're gonna be active in our.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Politics and go on protests and we're gonna be so
pro Republican or pro Democrat, or we're gonna be so
this man, you figure out it's just a game and
they're all playing all of us.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
It is. So after you see the cycle go through
four or five times, that's where I am right now.
I'm just like, Okay, I know you're upset, but this
cycle will be over in four years and something else
will start. Those older folks they really don't care, bro
about being cut off from whatever, because they know.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
It's not about being cut off from like the news
or politics. It's about like just not feeling like you're
living a normal life.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I'm old school. Yeah, what is a normal life? Bub
you open the Pandora's.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Box there, just going to work and going home to
your family afterwards. It's really what it is.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
There's no fan when you're that age, bro, there is
no family. They have kids.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You're the if you're the last person, if you've outlived
your spouse and all that other.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
No, when you and your spouse are in their seventies,
your kids are thirty, forty fifty years old, dude, yeah
they're not. You're not going home to your family. As
a matter of fact, you're tired of cutting the grass.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
That's a good point. I'm already tired of cutting the grass.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I am too. I'm hoping this lawn moore last the season.
The self propelled stop working two years ago, so it
has the weight of a self propelled one, because they
the whole advantage of not having a self propelled is
that it's lighter. Yeah, you can push it easier. But
I'm hoping this long more last the season. But no,
(26:09):
you man, when you're seventy, you're like, yeah, I've seen
this play before, I've seen this movie. I know how
it ends. I'm ready to go. I'm thinking after two months,
if you want to get off it, you just go,
all right, I got to get off this boat.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
But if you're traveling all you're in Morocco, then you're
in Casablanca, then you're in the Caribbean and Mexico, then
you're in Alaska.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
That's actually a better way to lighting. In my mind,
you're just stuck on this boat the whole time. Now,
I'm not thinking about the fact that you're going all.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
These yeah places. Well, so every day you're in a
different place. But then when you have to do the
big jumps around the horn or whatever around the horn
of then or whatever, it takes two days to get there.
You'd be surprised how fast that damn boat gets places. Yeah,
I mean it scoots. But we'll say it's intimidating because
in the room we were at that a long large
screen TV and they and the main screen. If you don't.
(27:09):
If you don't turn it on a channel or to
watch something. The main screen TV will be a map
of the world and where the boat is. And when
we were going from Mexico to Key West, we were
dead in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico and
(27:29):
it was a storm going on and the waves were incredible,
like we were rolling from one side of the room
to the next. It was crazy. We were in bed,
locked in arms and legs and everything just to hold on.
And I gotta tell you, being in the middle of
the Gulf of Mexico America. Sorry, my bad, Gulf of America.
(27:57):
It sounds so stupid to say. It sounds those I
would say, but it was, you know, it was. I'm sorry.
It was just like, ugh, man, we go down right now.
Ain't nobody finding this?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
I think that's probably I've never been on a cruise,
but that would be I'm sure it's everybody's fear being
in a massive storm. Maybe not, maybe the fear of
having a Titanic situation would be a little far fetched nowadays,
who knows, But just rocking back and forth.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
That just so you can't open the sliding door to
your balcony because if you open it, it's the whole
room would be chaos, so you have to keep it shut.
And you look out there and it's nothing but darkness
and gigantic ninety foot waves and you're just like, I
don't care how big this boat is. That's crazy. I
(28:48):
don't know how my son joined the navy. That is crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
People who can be underneath the water and on a
submarine for ninety plus days. However many days they do
that type of thing. Nowadays you are a special kind
of human being.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, but I think that's what he likes about it.
It's intense. Yeah, it's intense because you don't want to
I don't know, run into a mountain underwater or other boats.
So yeah, so I don't know, but right now, the
cheapest months to book a cruise is right now if
that's you. And again I'm not recommending the six months cruise.
(29:25):
I just when I was on my cruise, we were
with someone that worked for the company and they were like, oh, yeah,
we do six months cruise and old folks they book
them back to back because they have everything here, the doctors,
the food, everything, and they don't have to own anything.
No houses, no cars, no insurance, for car, no insurance
for your house, nothing, So you just spend that money
(29:48):
on a six month cruise. You would see the whole
world for sure. But book your cruises now, is what
they say. This is when you can get the cheapest.
That is what they say. But I don't know that.
Travel agents are pretty good. We used one once and
they give you options. You tell them we want this,
(30:09):
this and this, and they'll go, oh, I got that,
and they'll give you four or five examples of what
you're looking for. And Larry is now he's rolling in.
Good for you. How'd the exam go? Prostates still enlarged?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
It's not so much a weekly prostate exam with doctors.
It's a prostate exam club that I'm in.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Oh, I forget.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Responsible, responsible man, I should say. We just kind of
give each other once over and this morning.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Oh you give each other a prostate exam?
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Yeah, you know. Just see, Hey, you don't want to
say anything wrong with Ted. Let's all take a run
at Ted. See if we feel anything different. What about you?
Frank Briant, Well, this morning, this morning, Joey couldn't come
at our usual time, so we had to do all
this move It tonight.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Uh, well good, I'm glad everything worked out. Uh well, okay.
We Grow Hairindie dot com. I was up there two
months ago. I get my injections. You got to check
out the Vidi Pure injections. They're exactly what you think
they are. It's a It is a regenerative sort of

Yeah, so this morning at the doctor's office.

son just went to We Grow Indy six weeks ago.

happens with aqualoc and they also will check out your subpump.
Dwight's is Dwight's no, just no surprise here that Dwight's
subpump is old and doesn't work as well.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Mine is at least thirteen years old, and the last
storm we had, I just googled it because I'm getting
tired of the other shoe dropping. Yeah, I said, how
often should you replace your sub pump? They said at
least every ten years?
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Right, So go to Louisville aquaaloc dot com if your
subpump is not working. But if your other subpump is
not working, go to go your other subpump.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Oh, tri State Man's Health guys, how was your weekend?
Did your little guy let you down? I'm talking about ED.
You don't have to suffer from ED, and you certainly
don't have to be embarrassed about. It's an issue that
most men suffer at some point during their life. Here's
what you need to do, though, get it corrected, and
get it corrected with the best. The best is try
(33:06):
Statement's Health. Here's why I'm saying that they have a
ninety percent success rate when it comes to treating ED.
I'll give you one better then they make it risk free.
On top of it all, your appointment is ninety nine
dollars you get lab work done. They'll go over all
of your numbers, your PSA, your testosterone, the works. Here
comes the risk free part. Then they give you a
test dos. If it doesn't work, your ninety nine dollars.
(33:28):
It's refunded immediately. But chances are it will work because
they have a ninety percent success rate when it comes
to treating ed guys. Get your confidence back, getting back
in the bedroom. Do it my friends at Try Statements.
Go to try statements health dot com.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Back at this on NewsRadio eight forty WHA is
Anybody else exhausted from the weekend. Sometimes Mondays are a
respite from the weekend. I want to punch people in
the face that say there's nothing to do in this town. Really,
are you serious? This weekend? John has been crazy. And
(00:21):
by the way, Dwight, he'll be in a little bit.
He has a weekly prostate exam and this one could
only be scheduled at nine, so he'll be in this weekend.
There were so many things going on, Catholic summer picnics,
Saint Matthew's seventy fifth anniversary, the Jewish Community Center had
(00:44):
an event yesterday with food falafels. Who doesn't love a
falafel crusade for children. There were so many events this weekend.
I'm leaving off about ten different things that you could
have done this weeknd.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
You didn't even mention the one that you and Nick
just talked about, which was the Louisville Baseball Super Regionals.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Exactly. I'm just exhausted. I'm just like, I don't want
It's insane. All these events are so much fun. And
even when I got home from the crusade yesterday, I
get the back half of the game that was stressful
to watch. I was like, baseball is not supposed to
be this stressful. What is going on? Because you knew
(01:30):
it was gonna come down to one tiny mistake. The
al Pacino's speech in any given Sunday where he says,
they're inches in this game of inches, and there are
inches everywhere, and you got a claw and scrap for
those inches. That's what that came down to. Millimeters yesterday
(01:53):
when that kid stretched out from Miami to get to
that ball and it went off the front of his glove.
I looked at Jackie and said, that was the mistake.
That was it. That's the door opening, and they took
advantage and then they closed it out. But that ninth inning,
I was just like, I'm about to have another heart attack.
(02:17):
Louisville going back to the World Series is crazy right
now with all the upheaval of scholarships in nil and
a different ballgame. It's after COVID, could damn McDonald be
successful in this era? Well, there's your answer, and then
(02:39):
let's not dismiss people. Murray State is one game away.
Murray State is one game away from the College World Series.
Kentucky would have two teams out of eight teams in
the College World Series that my friend, as they used
(02:59):
to say ten years ago, is Craig Cray. I'm just
glad Vandy lost. I'm I don't. I've never Vandy drives
me crazy. I'm not a Vandy fan. They were the
number one team in the nation by a wide margin,
and they lost before even the Super Regional. They didn't
(03:19):
make it through the regional portion of it. What is
dam McDonald says, that's baseball, So Louisville baseball is back.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Have you ever been at the bottom of a dog pile.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I've not, But it can't be. I mean, I'm sure
the amount of adrenaline going through your body makes up
for all the pain that you're dealing with, but it
can't be.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
It can't be.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
It's not fun. It's not fun. And the only time
I've been part of dog piles were in football uniform,
so you had a face mask, helmet. But let me
tell you, it's not I always have a little anxiety
because I've been on the bottom of those dog piles.
It's not fun. You have all those people on top
of you and you can't breathe, and there is a
(04:04):
little bit of panic of get off me, I can't breathe.
I'm sorry every time I see that dogpile, and I'm
so happy they're winning and going to the World Series,
but I always have a little anxiety. I'm like the
guy at the bottom that sucks. It sucks, and I'm
not claustrophobic at all, but when I can't breathe and
(04:27):
I have thirty people on top of me, and I'm like,
when are they gonna get up? I can't. I don't
want to sound like a punk, but it's not fun.
I'm just saying it's not fun. But boy, man, that
baseball team needed that, and good for them. And I
(04:49):
have no idea what hell they're gonna We've never really
done well in the College World Series the other five
times that they've been there, but hopefully this year will
be different because it didn't see they weren't supposed to
be here. That team was supposed to lose in regions
and that's it, not even close to this, And somehow
they woke up and became a team. And if you
(05:10):
listen to the team in the post game, that's all
they sounded like, was just like, man, you know what,
We're glad we went to the World we're going with
the World Series, but I'm just glad I get to
play with these guys some more. That's what you want
to hear, dude, that's what you want to hear. When
it comes to college athletics, that's just awesome. In the
age of let's pay everybody, or if you don't pay me,
(05:32):
I'm leaving, you get that, which is awesome, and that
is a that is part of the issue with college
athletics now, and we talked about it earlier before we
went on the air. Title nine had to happen. It's
been one of the best things to happen to college athletics.
(05:52):
But boys' sports were sacrificed. I mean, baseball. You could
be the best baseball player in the state and get
a quarter scholarship. Your parents are still or you are
paying for college even though you're the best baseball player
in the state, and you get a partial scholarship because
(06:13):
you can't add up the numbers to football. If you
took football out of it, it would ease everything, but
they never did that. So, I mean there's a lot
of boys' sports that suffered. Wrestling teams, I mean, I
think these used to be two hundred and seventy five
wrestling teams across the nation. Now I think there's less
than one hundred because you just don't have the scholarships.
(06:36):
So the baseball players survive on quarter scholarships. Every softball
player has a full scholarship, full scholarship. Hell, there was
times I heard that they were walking around campus trying
to give away scholarships for the rowing team, because who
does that in high school in Kentucky, no one. Like
there's not a rowing team at Wagner or even the
(07:02):
private schools. There's no rowing team. So they're walking around
looking for tall, lean girls because the taller you are,
the better you are at rowing. I guess, but that's it.
But title line had to happen and benefited everybody except
for him except for boy sports. But man, what a
(07:25):
what a weekend, including the Belmont. There was just so
much going on. I mean, I wonder how many people
walked into work and went, I'm glad I'm at work
right now, take a break. Sovereignty smoked journalism to take
the Belmont. It's about it. I mean, he looked like
he was shot out of a cannon, went right by journalism, Like, yeah,
(07:46):
I don't think so he looked like Hussein Bolt like
teased him a bit when he was by, like hey
were side by side, and he was like teasing him
and then went, yeah, all right, dude. And of course
the crusade for children yesterday five point nine million dollars.
(08:08):
What a day. It's just it's just special. That was
probably I don't know my twenty fifth or twenty sixth crusade,
and it's still going strong. The fire departments are still
giving a lot. People still care about the crusade. Why
because it's for kids. Every dime goes to the kids.
(08:28):
Terry Miners was there all day yesterday. I did about
four hours hanging out and it was just great to
hang out with people and then people that care about
their crusades so much. But that is that's put to bed.
You could you heard it right here, you know on
news radio eight forty WHAS but in simulcast obviously WHS eleven.
(08:49):
Both of us have been for seventy two years. Seventy
two years. But it's it's a great weekend and I
thank everybody and Terry Miners there. He had Saturday night
till about one am, got up and was back in
at nine because I did an eight o'clock hour and
then he stayed all day long, so he will probably
(09:10):
not be on the air. He used to take this
day off, and I think that's the case today Russ Smith.
A lot of U L stories in the news today.
That's the way it used to be for quite some time.
Russ Smith got popped with a DWI and then people
(09:30):
are screaming, oh well, they're you know, they're honing in
on him, or he should have walked away because he
had a blood alcohol of point zero seven to three,
which is just below the legal limit of point zero eight.
But he did, you know, he did the illegal U
turn deal and they're saying he wasn't He didn't do
(09:53):
too well on the look. The reason you have the blood,
the air of the blood alcohol test and these sobriety
tests where you walk and all that that they combine
those two together to make a decision. And I think
he probably put out of the police officer in a
bad spot to say, I want to be able to
(10:15):
say somebody come get you. Can't. I can't have you
drive away, but somebody can go and get you, or
I got to lock you up. And I think the
rule is they if you're locked up for some alcohol charge,
it's six hours. I think you have to stay in
the lock up for six hours and then you can
get out. I have no I have no idea whether
he got out earlier or not. But he's got one
(10:36):
of the best lawyers, if not the best lawyer, Romans,
in the city. If you ever get in trouble, just
call Romans. He'll get you out or he'll help you
either way. So there you go. Russ Smith got popped
with a DWI. A lot of people want to make
this a bigger story than it is. No, he shouldn't
have gotten the car. He had two bourbons. You shouldn't
(10:57):
get in the car. Well, I'm not saying we didn't
all make that mistake. We've all sort of made that
mistake multiple times. So I'm not indicting him. But at
this point with uber, there's no excuse.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Well the other thing too is I believe it happened
in the Highlands and what was going on in the
highlands this weekend?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah weeks not smart.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
No, when you shoot a UI in the Highlands with
all that stuff that's been going on with when they've
already advertised that there's going to be enhanced police presence
in that area.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, that we look, we're sponsored by the Kentucky Elphis
a Fighway Safety but we believe down here, we believe
this is important. Yeah, and he's too easy these days
to avoid it.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
He admitted that he had had two Bourbon neats before
he before.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
So what I'm saying, when you have two Bourbons, you
got to think huh again, most kids today, and he's
not a kid anymore. I can't believe he's thirty. Whether
they say he's thirty four. Yeah, Russ Smith is thirty four.
We're all that means. If Russ Smith is thirty four, I'm.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
How old you've been lined to Dwight about your age?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Then I don't even want to talk about it. And
again Dwight will be in in the ten o'clock hour.
He he's got his weekly prostate exam. He scheduled it
every single week. He enjoys it. So this time it
can only be done at nine. He goes, okay, I said,
you know the show starts at nine. He goes, priorities,
(12:22):
bro priorities. He said, okay, all right, so I need
today Monday is like, I'm so glad. Usually I'm like,
oh man, the work week. I'm so glad the weekend's over.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
You did a lot of work this weekend down to us.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Turned seventy five. That was a hell of a party.
I got to tell you. The heart of rock and
roll is the name of the band Huey Lewis. In
the news, the lead singer looked exactly like Huey Lewis.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
When he started to talk to me, he sounded like
Huey Lewis. And when he got on stage, here's what
I'll predict. I think if Huey Lewis actually followed him,
I bet you couldn't tell. He's saying Huey Lewis better
than Huey Lewis sing.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Huey Lewis ain't singing much.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
No, I know, it's hearing problems and that.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
And that hurts because the very first eighties cruise I
went on, he was on there and that's the only
show I missed. And then right after that is when
he started when he came out and admitted he was
having the inner ear problem. So I'll have to go
listen to harder rock and roll now to get my
Huey Lowis.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Oh my gosh, dude, he was amazing. The band was amazing.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I'm always I always love those cover bands that do
something like that and they take on the whole persona
of the band, whether it's the Beatles, whether it's Led Zeppelin.
I mean, they get the moves, they get the hair,
they get the clothes. It's it's like he looks like him.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I mean he looked like him, he talked like him,
he walked like him, and he just when he got
on stage, I was like, that's Huey Lewis. It's crazy
Van Morrison tribute band, the One Irish Rover. The lead
singer is front Pack. Garvey is from Louisville and this
is his first time he played in Louisville in his
entire career.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So a bunch of his high school buddies from the
seventy three class at Trinity were there. It was great.
It was just a great event. But again I'm worn out, dude,
Ice Monday, Dude, I'm so glad to.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Be Did we break a record again?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Five point nine, which is good just under last year,
just a little under last year, but five point nine
is pretty good. It's all for the kids. So that
there was just so much going on. I'm glad I'm
at work on a Monday. Okay, I needed arrest, So
sure I needed arrest. That's exactly right. I needed a
rest because I loved this part of my life. Nine
(14:35):
to noon is really my favorite time except for dealing
with Dwight. But nine to noon is my favorite time
of the day.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
That was you know when I was when I was
a program director in Texas and was on the air.
I worked three to seven. That was my I come
in the door, I get on the air for those
four hours. That's my personal space. That's like my guy time.
I get on the radio and get to talk with
people and no sales staff, no commercials, no out outside
stuff is just right here in the studio. So I
get it.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Uh, we'll get you some more serious topics in the
next Wait, it's Monday, so we're just gonna roll through here.
All right, you're gonna do the joke of today for Dwight.
I am.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I am standing in for the very grievously injured Dwight
witting You know he heard his achilles tendon.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Oh I didn't hear that.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yeah it's bad man. Yeah, wait till you see him
come in.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
It's no, no, yeah, yeah, all.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
It is mama joke Monday, al right, mama joke, Monday.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Hey fellas, hey john Yo, Mama so fat?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
How fat?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
She was floating in the ocean. Spain claimed her for
their new world.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
It's pretty good. It's pretty good, all right. So it
is a Monday, and I'm thinking I need some comfort
food that's clean and good, and that's lots of pastas.
So I'm gonna roll over to lots of pasta. At
thirty seven seventeen, Lexington Rode in the Heart of Saint Matthew's.
Jackie called yesterday because she was at Kroger, and she goes,
what's the lots of pasta soup that's in the refrigerator
(16:05):
And I said the white chili and she was like, oh, okay,
I'm good with that. It was so delicious. I had
eaten the chicken noodle a little bit earlier in the day.
We love the soups. We love the breads because there's
four or five ingredients of the breads. If you read
your bread label at Kroger, it's got twenty things. It's
incredible the chemicals they put in bread. But at Lots
(16:26):
of Pasta. The bread is baked fresh every single day.
That's what you get at Lots of Pasta. Thirty seven seventeen.
Lexington road back after this on news Radio eight forty whas, Hi,
welcome back news Radio EID forty whas The Tony and
Dwight chow brought you by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety.
(16:49):
Dwight be here any minute now and a doctor's appointment.
I could not be moved, so he'll be here. Small
a plane crash in Tennessee. John, I don't know if
you saw this single engine Piper PA twenty eight. I
don't know what that means. But it was one of
those sky diving planes. Okay, Well the door opens on
(17:09):
the side, lost altitude and end up crashing upside down.
And I get it. The people on the internet have
no feelings and they just want to make a meme, right.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
And.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
They want to make a joke because it's a sky
diving plane. And people were asking, h I wonder, I
wish there was a way for these people to get
out of that plane. It's not funny, Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Did anybody I mean, I guess we don't know, like
somebody I feel like you would have thought somebody had
the idea to jump out with their skydiving gear, but
maybe nobody wanted to be the one to take it
from everybody else.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
If you're on a plane that's gonna go down, yeah
that's the plane you want to be on because you
got a backpack with a parachute, and.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
What if they're up there like fighting over me. I
don't know if they'd be insensitive talking about like that
since they died.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
But no, no, no, no, there's no there's nobody did. Six
of the twenty people on board were taken to the hospital. No,
there's some life threatening injuries, but they're nobody's dead yet.
But there have been those scenes on the on the
like James Bond. I remember James Bond was fighting with Jaws,
the killer guy Jaws over the last parachute and whoever
(18:28):
got the last parachute because the plane was going down,
Because it was one of those scenes in the movies
whether they turn around after their fighting and the two
pilots say they wave goodbye and they jump out and
then they look at the cockpit and there's nobody there
and they're like, don't So if you're on a plane.
If you have to be on a plane that is
(18:48):
going to crash, you would want to make it the
one that's the skydiving one, because at least you're ready
to go. But a lot of times you don't have time.
If it takes a nose dive, you're not discussing anything
because you can't get to the door or whatever it is.
But thank god no one passed away on this one.
Good on the pilot, whoever the pilot was, to get
(19:09):
to get down and crash to where no one died
out of twenty people. So there you go. To cruise
or not to cruise, Not Tony Cruz, not cruise hikes
Point on a Friday or Saturday night, or Iroquois Park,
but to go on one of those cruises through the
Caribbean and wherever. European cruises. I went on one cruise, John,
(19:33):
I'm not so sure. I might go on one of
those European river cruises, the smaller ones, Viking. I think
they're called Viking cruises. I do that because I'm old
now and that sounds appealing.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I love to do one of those rock and roll cruises,
the ones that are bands hosted by different bands.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I just I'm not sure if I do. And I
went on Norwegian, which is Man that is like it's
like the second level down from super expensive. So the
food was incredible and everyone was incredible, but I'm just
not sure. I'm a cruise guy. I went overboard. It
was like my wife with our first child. She thought
(20:16):
this is a license. She's never eaten a lot, so
she just went after it and gained too much weight
on the first one. The second one she barely gained anyway,
because she learned her lesson. But I did that on
our first cruise and our only cruise. We went on
this eight day cruise with a bunch of radio people
and I just got so fat I was. I went
(20:36):
down to the buffet and they made this, you know,
like cinnamon bun, right, yeah, but this one was like
a different mix. It had the icing, the cream cheese
icing on top, but the whole tray was swimming in butter.
And I would go down and literally have three of
(20:59):
them every morning. I gained a legit twelve pounds of fat,
because sometimes it's fake fat. Sometimes you go on vacation,
you gain six pounds and then two days after you're
back for vacation. It's off, so it's not was it.
I guess it was like waterweight or beer weight or whatever.
I gained, legit, twelve pounds on this cruise. And the
(21:23):
food was and that's part of the problem. You could
pick up the phone at three in the morning and go,
I want a dozen powdered donuts and it's at your
door in ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
So these these cruises are basically just eat a fonds.
They're just yes, gain as much way as you can
over However, many days that you're on.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
This cruise razing. You're just grazing all day because there
was a buffet open all the time, and then they
have the ficial breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and then they
have buffets open all the time, and the food is
really good, Like it's not crappy food. I mean it
was that was either drinking or you're eating. And I
(22:05):
got it again. I was sober at the time, which
I can't believe I went on a booze cruise where
everyone was just drinking all the time. Now, some people
you won't believe this. There are some old folks that
don't go to the old folks farm farm home retirement community,
(22:32):
which they're so much better now than they used to be.
And I don't want to chase the squirrel, But retirement
communities were awful. They were basically medical facilities. When I
was a kid, you went to see your grandma at
the at the at the retirement community and you were
just like, this is a hospital. Nowadays, they have amenities,
they have bars, they have happy hour, the food is good,
(22:55):
there's stuff to do, but there are there are years
long cruises are six month cruises okay? And I met
a guy that worked on one of these boats and
he said, oh, yeah, he goes we have a six
month cruise, and he goes a lot of older couples
because there's a doctor on board and you need everything
(23:17):
is there. So they booked a six month cruise. It's
cheaper than some retirement communities, and they travel the world
and they book them back to back, so they'll be
on the boat for six months, travel the world. They're
off for two weeks and then they're back on for
two weeks. So think about it. You sell your house,
(23:39):
you don't need a car, and you go on to
a cruise for six months. Could you do that?
Speaker 4 (23:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Because I would feel so far removed from reality that
it'd be one of those things that where you when
you get back to whatever your normal life is like
after the cruise, I feel like there would be a
lot longer of an adjustment period to just kind of
it's like being in a greenhouse right Well, sit there
and you enjoy yourself, and it's it's one of those
(24:09):
things that you get so used to it that I
don't know if you get sick of it or not,
but it's just a lot.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
You see, that's a twenty seven to twenty eight year
old talking. When you get older, you've seen like everything
in the news. Yeah, we've done this before. Yeah, So
you get to a point with your age to where
we all used to be so active. We're gonna be
We're gonna be we're gonna be active in our.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Politics and go on protests and we're gonna be so
pro Republican or pro Democrat, or we're gonna be so
this man, you figure out it's just a game and
they're all playing all of us.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
It is. So after you see the cycle go through
four or five times, that's where I am right now.
I'm just like, Okay, I know you're upset, but this
cycle will be over in four years and something else
will start. Those older folks they really don't care, bro
about being cut off from whatever, because they know.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
It's not about being cut off from like the news
or politics. It's about like just not feeling like you're
living a normal life.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I'm old school. Yeah, what is a normal life? Bub
you open the Pandora's.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Box there, just going to work and going home to
your family afterwards. It's really what it is.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
There's no fan when you're that age, bro, there is
no family. They have kids.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You're the if you're the last person, if you've outlived
your spouse and all that other.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
No, when you and your spouse are in their seventies,
your kids are thirty, forty fifty years old, dude, yeah
they're not. You're not going home to your family. As
a matter of fact, you're tired of cutting the grass.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
That's a good point. I'm already tired of cutting the grass.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I am too. I'm hoping this lawn moore last the season.
The self propelled stop working two years ago, so it
has the weight of a self propelled one, because they
the whole advantage of not having a self propelled is
that it's lighter. Yeah, you can push it easier. But
I'm hoping this long more last the season. But no,
(26:09):
you man, when you're seventy, you're like, yeah, I've seen
this play before, I've seen this movie. I know how
it ends. I'm ready to go. I'm thinking after two months,
if you want to get off it, you just go,
all right, I got to get off this boat.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
But if you're traveling all you're in Morocco, then you're
in Casablanca, then you're in the Caribbean and Mexico, then
you're in Alaska.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
That's actually a better way to lighting. In my mind,
you're just stuck on this boat the whole time. Now,
I'm not thinking about the fact that you're going all.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
These yeah places. Well, so every day you're in a
different place. But then when you have to do the
big jumps around the horn or whatever around the horn
of then or whatever, it takes two days to get there.
You'd be surprised how fast that damn boat gets places. Yeah,
I mean it scoots. But we'll say it's intimidating because
in the room we were at that a long large
screen TV and they and the main screen. If you don't.
(27:09):
If you don't turn it on a channel or to
watch something. The main screen TV will be a map
of the world and where the boat is. And when
we were going from Mexico to Key West, we were
dead in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico and
(27:29):
it was a storm going on and the waves were incredible,
like we were rolling from one side of the room
to the next. It was crazy. We were in bed,
locked in arms and legs and everything just to hold on.
And I gotta tell you, being in the middle of
the Gulf of Mexico America. Sorry, my bad, Gulf of America.
(27:57):
It sounds so stupid to say. It sounds those I
would say, but it was, you know, it was. I'm sorry.
It was just like, ugh, man, we go down right now.
Ain't nobody finding this?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
I think that's probably I've never been on a cruise,
but that would be I'm sure it's everybody's fear being
in a massive storm. Maybe not, maybe the fear of
having a Titanic situation would be a little far fetched nowadays,
who knows, But just rocking back and forth.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
That just so you can't open the sliding door to
your balcony because if you open it, it's the whole
room would be chaos, so you have to keep it shut.
And you look out there and it's nothing but darkness
and gigantic ninety foot waves and you're just like, I
don't care how big this boat is. That's crazy. I
(28:48):
don't know how my son joined the navy. That is crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
People who can be underneath the water and on a
submarine for ninety plus days. However many days they do
that type of thing. Nowadays you are a special kind
of human being.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, but I think that's what he likes about it.
It's intense. Yeah, it's intense because you don't want to
I don't know, run into a mountain underwater or other boats.
So yeah, so I don't know, but right now, the
cheapest months to book a cruise is right now if
that's you. And again I'm not recommending the six months cruise.
(29:25):
I just when I was on my cruise, we were
with someone that worked for the company and they were like, oh, yeah,
we do six months cruise and old folks they book
them back to back because they have everything here, the doctors,
the food, everything, and they don't have to own anything.
No houses, no cars, no insurance, for car, no insurance
for your house, nothing, So you just spend that money
(29:48):
on a six month cruise. You would see the whole
world for sure. But book your cruises now, is what
they say. This is when you can get the cheapest.
That is what they say. But I don't know that.
Travel agents are pretty good. We used one once and
they give you options. You tell them we want this,
(30:09):
this and this, and they'll go, oh, I got that,
and they'll give you four or five examples of what
you're looking for. And Larry is now he's rolling in.
Good for you. How'd the exam go? Prostates still enlarged?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
It's not so much a weekly prostate exam with doctors.
It's a prostate exam club that I'm in.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Oh, I forget.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Responsible, responsible man, I should say. We just kind of
give each other once over and this morning.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Oh you give each other a prostate exam?
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Yeah, you know. Just see, Hey, you don't want to
say anything wrong with Ted. Let's all take a run
at Ted. See if we feel anything different. What about you?
