Speaker 2 (00:46):
And actually having the All Star Game last night decided
again by a new home run Derby after the game
was tied six to six was pretty cool and I
was I was really interested to see how the players
would accept it. And obviously it looks like they were
having a good time with it last night. So I
think the All Star Game this year was a big success.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Nine out of ten games. I'm sure you have like
an apartment there at the ballpark, just so you just
mentioned there.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
It's interesting. I will miss five games here starting with
Friday night because my daughter is getting married.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Oh my gosh, I remember her as a I mean,
just a little girl, and now she's getting married. That
means we're all old.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah, we're all very old.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So you like this boy's a good boy.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, he's a great kid. Unfortunately he's an Atlanta Braves fan.
He's also a Georgia Tech graduate. We'll work through that
also wowing into a UFL fan. But yeah, no, he's
going to be a great addition to the family. And
what's really cool about this whole situation is when my son,
her twin brother, got married coming out of the pandemic,
(05:11):
she went online, got certified, and she actually conducted the
service and married her twin brother. Now he's going to
return the favor. Fantastic He's gotten certified, so he's going
to be conducting his twin sisters services Saturday. So we're
just keeping our fingers crossed for some really good weather.
And I will be conducting a funeral service on Sunday
from my credit card, as we'll basically be bearing it
(05:33):

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh congratulations, buddy, that is that is just fantastic news.
And back to the baseball real quick. You know, the
triple A has been you know, you reinvent yourself all
the time. The Mashers were the bananas thing before, you know,
I mean, Mashers were like the biggest thing ever. And
now the Bananas thing is crazy and they're starting an
(05:56):
own league or league is going to be touring and stuff.
But my question with the Mashers, and we'll wrap it up,
is they can get It's not as much as the
bats gear, but boy, I see a lot of Mashers
gear around town. They can get that at the stadium
or can they go online too? At bats Baseball both.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Places, bats baseball dot com. They can pick it up
here at Sluggerfield. And the interesting thing is the ESPN
has done a feature on the Mashers a few years ago.
I remember when we announced the Masher name at a
press conference at the EVA Williams site down the street.
I would say, within ten seconds, my phone is ringing
off the hook in the back pocket as far as
my cell phone. Everybody just quickly fell in love with
(06:36):
the look of the logo, the name. A lot of
people want us to change our name permanently over to
the Mashers.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
But no, no, do that, No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I will say this, We've got a new identity coming
out next year in twenty twenty six, along the same
lines as Mashers. As far as it'll be a lot
of fun and I think people gonna have a lot
of fun with it, So stay tuned.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, I'm not gonna let the cat out of the ball. Okay,

Speaker 4 (07:54):

Speaker 5 (08:05):
That was the Can we move on from the song?
I was trying to and you keep pulling me back. Go, Well,
I want to atrodition you to Indians Indias.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I'm going to crucify his name. But here we go,
Faju sing.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
If no one knows what you're reading, I think it's perfect.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Guy's a runner. He's known as the turbaned torpedo.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
The turbine torpedo.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, one hundred and fourteen years old. This guy is
what yes, one hundred and fourteen years old. He's the
oldest marathon runner in the world.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Well yeah, I mean how many how many marathon runners
are there? Over sixty? Well huh okay, fourteen and twenty
six miles four.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
That's why I'm saying the oldest marathon are in the world.
He got hit by a car and died Monday.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh what is that?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
That's really yeah? A curveball there for you.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Boy.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Think He had been named the oldest man to ever
run a full marathon, though the Guinness Book of World
Records they couldn't exactly put him in the book. Here's why,
because he was born in India in nineteen and eleven.
The year that he was born in nineteen eleven, they
didn't do birth certificates or keep records in India. But anyway,
(09:33):
the oldest known marathon runner is now dead. He got
hit by a car on Monday.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Running a marathon, you gotta be a little crazy to
do all that.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I've never ran a marathon, but I did run the
five many marathons when you were fat. Yes, well wasn't
as fat, but because all running. At one point they
said here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna do a
mini marathon and we're gonna do a full marathon. And
it was divided at about I guess mile ten, Yeah,
(10:04):
and you would split off. And I remember looking down
that the road for the full marathon. Yeah, it was
the loneliest damn road I ever saw. There was no
way going down there, like you see one person and
that's it, as we all.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I was gonna follow that up with the oldest. I
had a story about the oldest person that had a baby.
Oh where is it now? Oh gosh, he was like
a hundred something crazy. Oh no, here it is. It
was a turtle. Oh, wasn't it wasn't a person. I
thought it was a person.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Uh is there still that turtle that walks around downtown
or he finally passed away? You've never seen it. Role Gosh,
there's like a huge like a prehistoric turtle and walks
around downtown.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
A guy walks the turtle that is at the Louisville
Zoo I know is one hundred and ten. There's pictures
of that turtle like next to people, like all dressed
in eighteen ninety one are.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
The guys walking a turtle. I don't think it an I.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Don't know what you're talking about that serious.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
It's got to be every bit of seventy years old
as big as this damn thing is.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
You've never seen the guy out do the thing.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And I'll do this story. A turtle that's one hundred
and thirty five years old. The turtle is one hundred
and thirty five years old and is a dad for
the first time. Miami's oldest reptile celebrated another birthday on
Father's Day. A Galapacos turtle, the best name Goliath, is
now believed to be one hundred and thirty five years
(11:34):
old because they're not sure. He recently became a father
for the first time when one of the eggs laid
by his mate Sweet Pea hatched.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Dreams really do come true.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Now, an application has been made to the Guinness Book
of World Records to recognize Goliath as the oldest first
time father in history. I think they're gonna win now
the oldest celebrities that had kids, because some people's egos
are so gigantic they can't stop having kids even though
they're in their seventies and eighties. The most famous one
(12:08):
was Anthony Quinn. Remember Anthony Quinn. You don't John because
he's ben Uctors.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Of course, I remember sixties.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
He was eighty one. He was eighty one years old
when he fathered a child.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Gosh, how many years did he get with his child?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Jaggery. That's the thing at the point, that's it's not
fair to the child.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Though.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
De Niro just had a baby. Oh my god, seventy
nine years old. Robert de Niro got somebody pregnant. They
had a baby this year?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
What them? They de Niro?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
That's not true.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Uh, it might be.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Jeff Goldbloom sixty eight years old, had a baby. And
of course your favorite twice Jagger. Nick Jagger is seventy three.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
No he's not, he's eighty one.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
No, he had his last child was born when he
was seventy three, Like your ego is just god.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I still think that's true because on tour there's a
he's quite little child. It might be like five years old.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You mean he was older than seventy three.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Either that or is leaving out his latest child. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I gotta think. I gotta think that you're kind of
a terrible person if you're having kids seventy three, Well.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Why not get a vasectomy. I went down to doctor
Nick Myers at First Eurology, and I got a vasectomy
and it didn't even hurt. You know why why he
numbed it first. Yeah, let's get back to the turtle
the walks downtown Louisville. I was right.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I think you're making this.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Okay, Well, let's bet one hundred dollars instead of twenty
this time.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
No, I'll bet one hundred pesos.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
What's like, where can we find him? Because we know
he's not getting very farm.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Let me see a picture. Pick can you pick up
your laptop? Since it weighs eighty.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Pounds so heavy spot there because.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
All right, I'll wait. I don't want to I don't
want you to strain your back.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I'm gotting. I've got therapy today. My back's aren't already.
So there is a downtown Louisville tortoise named Spy. Spike's
his name. He's an African spurred tortoise, and he is
a fixture at Wayside Christian Mission.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
That here, okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Spike gained local fame for his regular walks through downtown
Louisville with his handler. His handler's name is William Duncan.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Is he a big old turtle?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
He's huge. Guy's huge. William Duncan, who walks Spike? Get
in touch when we through Facebook. I'd love love to
have you on the show. Spike and his handler, William Duncan,
used to walk ten blocks twice a week. According to
the news report. Spike lives at Wayside Christian Mission is
(14:42):
well known among the residents. After being treated at Shively
Animal Clinic, Spike has recovered and is walking again. I
guess something might have happened. Oh, we had to repair
a shell with We got to get this guy on.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
If you are one of the siblings, let's say Robert
de Niro or Jeff go Blue and Mick Jagger. Aren't

Speaker 3 (15:35):
There, damn right, it will. This turtle is not just
a turtle, he's a shell, celebrity shell. I like it.
Can I take my two dollars back?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
No one?
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Cost you one dollar? Wasn't as bad as I.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Was prepared to go two dollars on that one.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
But is it? Wouldn't that piss you off? Because you're
a sibling, You're like, dad, stop, what are you doing?
And now we're gonna split it with this whatever person.
And by the way, these people are not showing up
at soccer games, John, they're not showing up at school
teacher a parent teacher meeting night.

How depressing.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Seventy nine year old Robert de Niro is showing up
for you. Hey, he might not live to school age.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
He probably wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Then we get two more dollars out. Hey, oh, here

risk worth reward. Okay, here it is right there in
front of you. Sure that's true, So let me lay

William Duncan walks. You know where his favorite destination to
walk is. No, the shell station at First and Broadway.

piece of toast that we got the bread from, lots

Is the best grocery store, deli and coffee shop. It's
all in one there in the heart of Saint Matthews,
(27:55):
thirty seven seventeen Lexington Road. All right, this is the
story of a and her son, which is a marine
passed away a couple of decades ago during the fighting
in the Middle East. So let's hear her story here
on news radio eight forty whas Welcome to Wednesday's Hero.
(28:16):
Today's story is a marine mother and her story of
her son killed in combat.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
The second time he had gotten injured.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
The guy had called me from Campbell, Jeane, and he said,
we're going to get Bradley.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
To call you.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Well, that was Wednesday, and he didn't call. And Thursday
came and he didn't call.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
And so I was.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
Becoming a very unpleasant person to be around to everyone,
because all I wanted to get was the phone call
of there wasn't nothing, da da dah. I'm fine and
it just didn't come. Didn't come, So I started driving home.
(29:08):
Was when I got the phone call.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
I knew, I just knew and had to drive home.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
So I was driving about one hundred and ten miles
an hour down these little podunk country roads flying. I
get to the road I live on, and it was
like my little out of body person was saying, you
realize you're in a hurry to go home to.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
Find out your son's dead.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
And I just kind of melted, took my foot off
the gas and went, oh, yeah, okay.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
So I don't know how I got from there to there.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
I drove to my house and seeing the Marines and
dressed blues is a fierce striking moment, but it's also
awe and honor because they're something to look at, you know,
they're impressive, they're of course they're bigger than me. It was, uh,
two guys and a female officer person, and uh, I knew,
(30:09):
I came on it. It's it's time for you to
act like the mother of marine, you know. And I
did and didn't cry. And I let him read their
letter and hand me my flag, and I got Bradley's
letter I'd gotten probably that week that said, if I
get hurt again, you need to call all my friends
and tell 'em what's going on.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
So they know, uh, I'm fighting.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
Cause he wanted to tell everybody he knew walk up
to him still get his finger in their chest and said,
I'm fighting for you, fighting for you. And he was
still a little egotistical. He wanted to tell everybody I
got hurt.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
So I got on the phone, called him.
Speaker 7 (30:47):
All was Thanksgiving weekend and they were home for college
from college, and we're at my house thirty minutes or less,
you know, thirty or forty kids, and and the process began,
you know, of.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
How do I honor my son died? So then you
wait for a week to get his body, so.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Then you should go to bed every night going okay,
so did they blow his head off?
Speaker 6 (31:17):
Did they blow his arms off?
Speaker 7 (31:19):
Did he have a you know, well I see his
face or so I lived out his death all that
time until we got his body off the plane from
Dover and they almost dropped him, which was hilarious because,
you know, because I thought Bradley was so big, you know,
he was too big for these kind I'm like, please Jesus,
(31:41):
don't let him roll out on the tarmac.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
It might I may not.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
Be able to hold it together. Because it was all
about holding it together, and they didn't. I was like, oh,
thank god, because I don't want people see me crying.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
I don't want I didn't want to fall apart. I
might have been crazy if if he had flopped out.
I don't mind.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
So got to the mortuary funeral home and I got
to see him and like.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
He was all there, So I was really I got
to see him. You know, I didn't.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
Realize what a gift that was because a lot of
parents didn't get to see him again.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
Parents didn't get to see him again. But it was
a gift for me.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
And I'm like, well, I'm not sure that's him.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
I'm like that maybe that's not him. That's the power
of the mind. I don't remember him looking like that.
He had a scar up here, like he didn't have
that scar.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
So then I started looking for childhood scars. You know,
he fell and his bottom teeth went through his upper lip.
I'm like, well, I'm pretty sure that's him. That's him.
So I go to the guy from the Pentagon. I'm like,
I need to know what happened to my son.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
I said, you can tell I'm not going to fall apart.
I'm man enough to handle this.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
I need to know, well, ma'am, we don't know where
he was, Enemy gunfire, just the lack of information seemed
difficult to him them. I guess I wanted to know
what happened, and.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
As yet it was still deployed. I couldn't call him
and go, hey, man, who's with Bradley? What happened? So
that was a few months of living by faith.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
So then they planned the memorial service in April at
Campbell Jeane, and I.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
Was excited to see the guys he was with. I
hadn't met him. I didn't know him.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
I just wanted to see him. I wanted something I
could touch. The flag was great, but it was empty,
you know. I could hold that flag and it represented
what he died before, but it wasn't him. I needed
flesh and blood. I needed something I could touch. And
(33:52):
my mom went with me and I met James Schaeffer.
That was at the Marine Corps home office at that point.
There's no seating room in the cafeteria and he.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
Said, he is it? He said, why are you here?
I told him? He said, I said, I just want
to know what happened to my son.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
He said, you need to meet the guys who fought
with him.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
Game mission.
Speaker 7 (34:14):
Now, I had a mission, and.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
So I did.
Speaker 7 (34:20):
I got to meet them, and they're still my children today,
every one of them.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
Yeah,
Welcome back. We are brought to you by the Kentucky
Office of Highway Safety. Please buckle up and put the
phone down. Our number three of the Tony and Dwight chill.
We bring in Greg Galliett. He's on the phone this time.
What's up, mister president? Hey, Greg gallich all of that's
what's up? Brother Hatty?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
All Star break to both of you guys.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
How about that? Did you see the cool? Listen? This
is a really quick story. I want to chase the squirrel.
But whoever won the home run Derby? Someone posted a
picture of him as a child, yeah, saying I just
won the home run Derby Hawk kids always doing like
a valluetball court. Yeah, well, he was pretending to do
the home run Derby and then twenty years later the
(00:42):
guy wins just at was kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
It was pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It was very cool.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
And actually having the All Star Game last night decided
again by a new home run Derby after the game
was tied six to six was pretty cool and I
was I was really interested to see how the players
would accept it. And obviously it looks like they were
having a good time with it last night. So I
think the All Star Game this year was a big success.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
The All Star Game is tonight right now.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
It was last night. Oh National League won seven to six,
and the guys get a couple of days off and
baseball will get back underway on Friday, and the Louisville

next ten days starting with Friday. And Friday night is

the iHeartMedia Game Time Happy Hour with three dollars canned
cores and Miller Lite beers along with the six dollars
Marguerite of Madness from our friends at Number one Tequila.

a really fun, hot summer weekend. And Saturday Night, it's
our salute to the Louisville Mashers.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
As it's our mash and Bash night, Oh Boy.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Thanks to our so the Bats will be playing their

on plate offering a tasting of Evan Williams products on

show plan for after Saturday Night's game thanks to our
friends overt Vision Works. And then we'll wrap up the
three games against the Saint Paul Saints this weekend on

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Nine out of ten games. I'm sure you have like
an apartment there at the ballpark, just so you just
mentioned there.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
It's interesting. I will miss five games here starting with
Friday night because my daughter is getting married.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Oh my gosh, I remember her as a I mean,
just a little girl, and now she's getting married. That
means we're all old.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah, we're all very old.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So you like this boy's a good boy.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, he's a great kid. Unfortunately he's an Atlanta Braves fan.
He's also a Georgia Tech graduate. We'll work through that
also wowing into a UFL fan. But yeah, no, he's
going to be a great addition to the family. And
what's really cool about this whole situation is when my son,
her twin brother, got married coming out of the pandemic,
(05:11):
she went online, got certified, and she actually conducted the
service and married her twin brother. Now he's going to
return the favor. Fantastic He's gotten certified, so he's going
to be conducting his twin sisters services Saturday. So we're
just keeping our fingers crossed for some really good weather.
And I will be conducting a funeral service on Sunday
from my credit card, as we'll basically be bearing it
(05:33):
as it did of course.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh congratulations, buddy, that is that is just fantastic news.
And back to the baseball real quick. You know, the
triple A has been you know, you reinvent yourself all
the time. The Mashers were the bananas thing before, you know,
I mean, Mashers were like the biggest thing ever. And
now the Bananas thing is crazy and they're starting an
(05:56):
own league or league is going to be touring and stuff.
But my question with the Mashers, and we'll wrap it up,
is they can get It's not as much as the
bats gear, but boy, I see a lot of Mashers
gear around town. They can get that at the stadium
or can they go online too? At bats Baseball both.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Places, bats baseball dot com. They can pick it up
here at Sluggerfield. And the interesting thing is the ESPN
has done a feature on the Mashers a few years ago.
I remember when we announced the Masher name at a
press conference at the EVA Williams site down the street.
I would say, within ten seconds, my phone is ringing
off the hook in the back pocket as far as
my cell phone. Everybody just quickly fell in love with
(06:36):
the look of the logo, the name. A lot of
people want us to change our name permanently over to
the Mashers.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
But no, no, do that, No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I will say this, We've got a new identity coming
out next year in twenty twenty six, along the same
lines as Mashers. As far as it'll be a lot
of fun and I think people gonna have a lot
of fun with it, So stay tuned.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
What what new?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, I'm not gonna let the cat out of the ball. Okay,
this is going to be a fun, fun uh team
concept name that we're going to do a couple of
times next year that I think the folks here in
Louisville are gonna have a lot of fun with.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Okay, all right, all right, keep us on pins and needles.
I love it, Greg galliad get your tickets at batspaceball
dot com. We'll see you, Greg Galliat and congratulations Bud.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
With that wedding bell.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Oh that's crazy man.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah yeah, wait, that's Ozzie coughing. Why is Ozzy? Oh?
Sweet leaf? If I were you, I would call Value
Tools and Repair at six three six two eight thirty five.
Very first caller is going to get a bosh leaf
(07:47):
blower to blow all these sweet leaves away.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yea, it is crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Fun fact it's actually Tony Iomi does the call for
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
That Okay, is it a fun fact?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yes, it's fun. It's a very fun fact.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
That was the Can we move on from the song?
I was trying to and you keep pulling me back. Go, Well,
I want to atrodition you to Indians Indias.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I'm going to crucify his name. But here we go,
Faju sing.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
If no one knows what you're reading, I think it's perfect.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Guy's a runner. He's known as the turbaned torpedo.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
The turbine torpedo.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, one hundred and fourteen years old. This guy is
what yes, one hundred and fourteen years old. He's the
oldest marathon runner in the world.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Well yeah, I mean how many how many marathon runners
are there? Over sixty? Well huh okay, fourteen and twenty
six miles four.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
That's why I'm saying the oldest marathon are in the world.
He got hit by a car and died Monday.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh what is that?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
That's really yeah? A curveball there for you.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Boy.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Think He had been named the oldest man to ever
run a full marathon, though the Guinness Book of World
Records they couldn't exactly put him in the book. Here's why,
because he was born in India in nineteen and eleven.
The year that he was born in nineteen eleven, they
didn't do birth certificates or keep records in India. But anyway,
(09:33):
the oldest known marathon runner is now dead. He got
hit by a car on Monday.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Running a marathon, you gotta be a little crazy to
do all that.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I've never ran a marathon, but I did run the
five many marathons when you were fat. Yes, well wasn't
as fat, but because all running. At one point they
said here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna do a
mini marathon and we're gonna do a full marathon. And
it was divided at about I guess mile ten, Yeah,
(10:04):
and you would split off. And I remember looking down
that the road for the full marathon. Yeah, it was
the loneliest damn road I ever saw. There was no
way going down there, like you see one person and
that's it, as we all.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I was gonna follow that up with the oldest. I
had a story about the oldest person that had a baby.
Oh where is it now? Oh gosh, he was like
a hundred something crazy. Oh no, here it is. It
was a turtle. Oh, wasn't it wasn't a person. I
thought it was a person.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Uh is there still that turtle that walks around downtown
or he finally passed away? You've never seen it. Role Gosh,
there's like a huge like a prehistoric turtle and walks
around downtown.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
A guy walks the turtle that is at the Louisville
Zoo I know is one hundred and ten. There's pictures
of that turtle like next to people, like all dressed
in eighteen ninety one are.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
The guys walking a turtle. I don't think it an I.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Don't know what you're talking about that serious.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
It's got to be every bit of seventy years old
as big as this damn thing is.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
You've never seen the guy out do the thing.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And I'll do this story. A turtle that's one hundred
and thirty five years old. The turtle is one hundred
and thirty five years old and is a dad for
the first time. Miami's oldest reptile celebrated another birthday on
Father's Day. A Galapacos turtle, the best name Goliath, is
now believed to be one hundred and thirty five years
(11:34):
old because they're not sure. He recently became a father
for the first time when one of the eggs laid
by his mate Sweet Pea hatched.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Dreams really do come true.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Now, an application has been made to the Guinness Book
of World Records to recognize Goliath as the oldest first
time father in history. I think they're gonna win now
the oldest celebrities that had kids, because some people's egos
are so gigantic they can't stop having kids even though
they're in their seventies and eighties. The most famous one
(12:08):
was Anthony Quinn. Remember Anthony Quinn. You don't John because
he's ben Uctors.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Of course, I remember sixties.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
He was eighty one. He was eighty one years old
when he fathered a child.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Gosh, how many years did he get with his child?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Jaggery. That's the thing at the point, that's it's not
fair to the child.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Though.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
De Niro just had a baby. Oh my god, seventy
nine years old. Robert de Niro got somebody pregnant. They
had a baby this year?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
What them? They de Niro?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
That's not true.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Uh, it might be.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Jeff Goldbloom sixty eight years old, had a baby. And
of course your favorite twice Jagger. Nick Jagger is seventy three.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
No he's not, he's eighty one.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
No, he had his last child was born when he
was seventy three, Like your ego is just god.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I still think that's true because on tour there's a
he's quite little child. It might be like five years old.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You mean he was older than seventy three.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Either that or is leaving out his latest child. I
don't know.

story of a and her son, which is a marine
passed away a couple of decades ago during the fighting
in the Middle East. So let's hear her story here
on news radio eight forty whas Welcome to Wednesday's Hero.
(28:16):
Today's story is a marine mother and her story of
her son killed in combat.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
The second time he had gotten injured.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
The guy had called me from Campbell, Jeane, and he said,
we're going to get Bradley.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
To call you.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Well, that was Wednesday, and he didn't call. And Thursday
came and he didn't call.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
And so I was.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
Becoming a very unpleasant person to be around to everyone,
because all I wanted to get was the phone call
of there wasn't nothing, da da dah. I'm fine and
it just didn't come. Didn't come, So I started driving home.
(29:08):
Was when I got the phone call.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
I knew, I just knew and had to drive home.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
So I was driving about one hundred and ten miles
an hour down these little podunk country roads flying. I
get to the road I live on, and it was
like my little out of body person was saying, you
realize you're in a hurry to go home to.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
Find out your son's dead.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
And I just kind of melted, took my foot off
the gas and went, oh, yeah, okay.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
So I don't know how I got from there to there.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
I drove to my house and seeing the Marines and
dressed blues is a fierce striking moment, but it's also
awe and honor because they're something to look at, you know,
they're impressive, they're of course they're bigger than me. It was, uh,
two guys and a female officer person, and uh, I knew,
(30:09):
I came on it. It's it's time for you to
act like the mother of marine, you know. And I
did and didn't cry. And I let him read their
letter and hand me my flag, and I got Bradley's
letter I'd gotten probably that week that said, if I
get hurt again, you need to call all my friends
and tell 'em what's going on.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
So they know, uh, I'm fighting.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
Cause he wanted to tell everybody he knew walk up
to him still get his finger in their chest and said,
I'm fighting for you, fighting for you. And he was
still a little egotistical. He wanted to tell everybody I
got hurt.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
So I got on the phone, called him.
Speaker 7 (30:47):
All was Thanksgiving weekend and they were home for college
from college, and we're at my house thirty minutes or less,
you know, thirty or forty kids, and and the process began,
you know, of.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
How do I honor my son died? So then you
wait for a week to get his body, so.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Then you should go to bed every night going okay,
so did they blow his head off?
Speaker 6 (31:17):
Did they blow his arms off?
Speaker 7 (31:19):
Did he have a you know, well I see his
face or so I lived out his death all that
time until we got his body off the plane from
Dover and they almost dropped him, which was hilarious because,
you know, because I thought Bradley was so big, you know,
he was too big for these kind I'm like, please Jesus,
(31:41):
don't let him roll out on the tarmac.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
It might I may not.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
Be able to hold it together. Because it was all
about holding it together, and they didn't. I was like, oh,
thank god, because I don't want people see me crying.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
I don't want I didn't want to fall apart. I
might have been crazy if if he had flopped out.
I don't mind.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
So got to the mortuary funeral home and I got
to see him and like.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
He was all there, So I was really I got
to see him. You know, I didn't.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
Realize what a gift that was because a lot of
parents didn't get to see him again.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
Parents didn't get to see him again. But it was
a gift for me.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
And I'm like, well, I'm not sure that's him.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
I'm like that maybe that's not him. That's the power
of the mind. I don't remember him looking like that.
He had a scar up here, like he didn't have
that scar.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
So then I started looking for childhood scars. You know,
he fell and his bottom teeth went through his upper lip.
I'm like, well, I'm pretty sure that's him. That's him.
So I go to the guy from the Pentagon. I'm like,
I need to know what happened to my son.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
I said, you can tell I'm not going to fall apart.
I'm man enough to handle this.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
I need to know, well, ma'am, we don't know where
he was, Enemy gunfire, just the lack of information seemed
difficult to him them. I guess I wanted to know
what happened, and.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
As yet it was still deployed. I couldn't call him
and go, hey, man, who's with Bradley? What happened? So
that was a few months of living by faith.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
So then they planned the memorial service in April at
Campbell Jeane, and I.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
Was excited to see the guys he was with. I
hadn't met him. I didn't know him.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
I just wanted to see him. I wanted something I
could touch. The flag was great, but it was empty,
you know. I could hold that flag and it represented
what he died before, but it wasn't him. I needed
flesh and blood. I needed something I could touch. And
(33:52):
my mom went with me and I met James Schaeffer.
That was at the Marine Corps home office at that point.
There's no seating room in the cafeteria and he.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
Said, he is it? He said, why are you here?
I told him? He said, I said, I just want
to know what happened to my son.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
He said, you need to meet the guys who fought
with him.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
Game mission.
Speaker 7 (34:14):
Now, I had a mission, and.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
So I did.
Speaker 7 (34:20):
I got to meet them, and they're still my children today,
every one of them.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
Yeah,
