7.18: Another Truck Driving Incident, Getting Sucked into an MRI Machine, and Raised Money Goes Missing

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I never shy away from blaming people. Yeah, the things,
But I don't blame the road or the expressway for
yet another truck jackknifing on the same place spaghetti junction,
I don't blame at this point, whoa whoa.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Whoa what? Moving forward on this show, henceforth, it will
always be the lots of pasta spaghetti junction.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
All right, lots of pasta spaghetti junction. I'm just wondering
if because we had yet another one that shut down
I sixty five, which is so convenient that people live
in Indiana have to go back and forth. But did
they did they? Did they shrink the qualifications to become
I'm not talking about the really good old timer truck

(00:49):
drivers that know what they're doing, like the ones that
called her a show yesterday. I'm talking about the ones
that maybe you could be a truck driver in just
two weeks. Two weeks? What do you mean just two weeks?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Well, you still have to pass the CDL license and
that's done by the States, and you'd have to do
that class A well, I don't know. They Okay, So
I do you have yours? Yeah, well you did. I
gave mine up because I was stupid. I wish you
would have kept it. Yeah, but it's no joke. You
gotta identify everything on the truck. Hey, what's that. It's
the ICM bar, you know, the whole bit, And that's

(01:22):
just the visual pre trip. And then you got to
go with a state trooper. This is when I did it.
I don't know. Now there's schools, so they might have
relaxed the loss. But man, when I did it, you
had to go to the fair grounds. First of all,
you had to take the written test, okay, and then
you pass that, and then you go to the driving test.
You would meet at the Kentucky State Fairgrounds. There's where
the trooper would go over with you and say what's

(01:45):
this and you had to name everything? Okay, I get it,
and then they took you out and you did the driver.
I wonder if it's the same thing. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
And you know what, if there's a truck driver listening
five seven, one, eight, four eight four, give us a call.
I want to know whether it is easier to become
a truck driver now, because again I'm just saying, why
are we blaming the road? Okay, it's it's much better
set up than it was before, right before they did
the redo, it was a lot more difficult to get
up and down the off those bridges.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I would imagine. I would imagine they would have made
it more accessible and easier. But then again, let's talk
about the waters and Expressway. When you're leaving Shyly and
going eastbound. I never thought you would build a expressway.
We had to merge into the fast.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Lane, I know.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
And by the way, you have fifteen feet to get
up to speed.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
That's right, No, no, no, no, wait a minute. The
people coming on to the expressway and the ones going
off have to cross lanes. Yeah, that's the way you do.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I'll give you another one where you get on from
the Gene Snyder onto sixty four or vice versa. Out
towards the east end. There's one place where on Geene
Snyder and you're exiting to sixty four, you have about
fifteen feet.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
We have a caller. Let's see if I am right
or wrong? Who am I? Who am I talking to you?
I don't see my Scott Davis on the line. Davis,
you're on news radio eight forty whs Is it easier
to become a truck driver these days?

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:12):
It's actually quite a bit easier. They still do it
out at the paragrounds, but as far as the written tests,
they actually have an app. It's called DMV Genie, and
it allows you to just keep taking the test over
and over. Yeah, and so you see every question. I
actually memorize the test before I got there, right. There's
also a YouTube channel that allows you to learn the

(03:33):
script verbatim on how to do your inspection with the
state tropert. And then after that's just smooth sailing, okay.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
In your opinion, and you were just using your your
first name here, so we don't you know, it's not
out in yourself. Has the skills of some of the
truck drivers gone down in the last twenty years.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
One hundred percent? The quality of people that they're bringing
in the skill level just isn't there. They were actually
a few years ago talking about lowering the age limit
eighteen because they're struggling so hard. The days of a
man being able to operate a truck and run a
business or over. It's all large carriers trying to chase

(04:13):
the wages down to the bottom, and this is exactly
what you're gonna end up with. So my truck's dangling
off the bridges.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Okay, so you're in complete agreement with us here, So
I will tell you so your wages have gone down.
I remember if somebody's dad or mom was a truck driver.
I had a friend of his mom was a truck driver.
They made tons of money. It was the reason you
became a truck drivers because you like being on the road.
But more importantly, you got paid. Well, yeah, I've understood that.

(04:40):
Now it's like as little as fourteen dollars an hour
or ten dollars an hour after you do a good run.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
It could be even worse than that. You have situations
where people are betting out jobs. They made a reality
TV show about it years ago, like ship Wars or something.
I remember that, people literally betting themselves down to the
bottom barrel. And it's just it's a disgusting situation. It's
getting harder out there every day for people.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I remember that. Appreciate we have.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Now let's look at line three. I'm pulling out my
screen right now so I can take it John online.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
John, Yeah, one.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Of the a lot of states now are checking drivers
at way stations and if they can't read or write
or speak English. They're putting handcuffs on them. Part of
the problem is a lot of these companies are hiring
drivers that really got no business being on the road
because they can't read English and they can't understand what

(05:38):
they're doing.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
So how can they If you're a major trucking company,
how can you hire an illegal.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
It's called insurance. They're getting around and they're lying to
their insurance companies and telling them that they're doing it
and worrying about it if something happens.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
I think Arkansas was the first one to do it.
They're literally putting handcuffs on drivers.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
If they cannot read and speak English, and they test them,
they've got They hand them a piece of paper that
tells them, you know, that's in English. Then they have
to read it out loud and have to understand what
it is. And if they don't, they're putting handcuffs on them.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
And uh, literally making sure that they they making sure
they can understand the traffic side.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
That's ridiculous. That is ridiculous. Now let me ask you
a question inside baseball, But do you if if a
way station is open, do you have to pull in?

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yeah, I mean a lot of the lot. A lot
of the trucks have transponders on them and uh and
and send the information they never have to go in.
But those are the bigger, more expensive trucks, and they're
paying their drivers probably better. But the reality is that
if you skip it, you know, if you skip a
way station, you get pulled over and you're in any

(06:53):
of the bigger serious trouble.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
So independent drivers aren't as big as they used to be.
I'm sorry, independent drivers. Uh like Snowman, Snowman from smoking
a band It was an independent driver. He had his
own truck, He had his own truck.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah, I mean, if there are a lot of independent
drivers out there that are caught up in that bidding
problem that the previous caller was talking about. Yeah, all right,
they you know, they they get they have to take
jobs where they can. But yeah, I mean, it's what
Sarah Huckabee is doing in Arkansas, and a couple of
other states are starting to follow. I think I think
I heard Florida was doing it. I mean, they're they're

(07:30):
they're trying to get these dangerous drivers who yeah, they
can push an accelerator and shift gears, but they don't
understand the signs and realized they made a mistake on something.
Uh and you know, on on a road and then
screw things up and get people, get people hurt.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
John, how long have you been a driver? Did you
get grandfathered in?

Speaker 4 (07:51):
No, I'm not a truck driver. I spent a lot
of time on the road.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Okay, I got John. I appreciate the call. Very insightful
for the first two callers. This is what I thought
we might get if we get calls right. His people saying, Oh,
you have no clue how screwed up the roads are.
I don't think I'm not blaming the road for these
recks on the Expressway. I'm blaming the drivers. I think
that there are drivers out there that aren't qualified that

(08:14):
are driving these eighteen wheelers. Let's take Rob. Rob you're
online five. What are your thoughts on this issue?

Speaker 3 (08:21):
My thoughts are two things. You got driver fatigue because
you got a drive on a eld clock, and that
broly screws up everything if you ask me, because I mean,
you got a job. When it tells you to drive,
and that's it tells you to park and sleep Whenever
it tells you, I mean, you can't sleep. Ten hours

(08:44):
and oh boy, you ain't heard whenever you time for
it to be pulled over? Right?

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yes, no, that that's insane. I appreciate the call. I
would hate as much as I was talking to a
couple of weeks ago, that you had to punch in
a code and it sent your boss where you were
location wise, when you were outside sales. Can you imagine this?
They're like, this computer is telling me when I'm tired.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
What would you hate more?

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Though?

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Having a computer tell you, hey, you know what, You've
ate up your time for the daytime to rest or
be on a teams driver, We have no somebody to
sleeper cab with you.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
No, if I had to, if I had to be
with you twenty four hours a day, no no, I'd
run my car and run the truck into an embankment.
Last caller on this, last caller on this, Tony, you're
on news radio eight forty w HS.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Yeah, it just you know, I've been down a forty
five here right now getting your dances. I'm coming down
sixty five right now in my pickup, going to get
my track, prayer. I've just seen the driver and get
ready to get off jeansnat or going south he took
the wrong lane, So what did he do he's running
sixty minie or he cuts right back out in the
track if he wanted to go nowhere. Oh, I just

(09:52):
said to watch it. You know, it's not the road.
They've done this. They've done this, this, this, this industry
down so much. That's why I would try. Now we're automatic,
you know they can. You know, back when I started,
I was grandfathered in Okay over.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Hey, yeah, I appreciate the call. Your phone cut out, Tony.
I appreciate it, man, Thank you so much. These guys
nobody's disagreeing. Everybody that's a truck driver saying you have
no clue. Basically, I'm paraphrasing what they've said in the
last five ten minutes here is you have no clue

(10:31):
how bad it is. Some of them are illegals, can't
even read the signs, and others are so underqualified they
have no idea what they're doing, and they're in the
biggest vehicles on the road.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
I do have a theory on what might have happened,
but I don't know if what was what's the theory, Well,
I don't I don't want to be persecuted if I'm wrong,
but it makes sense to me. Okay, I think maybe
a ceiling tile fell off the back of a truck
and cost cost a phote and chair company truck to swerve,

(11:02):
leading us into this. It's just the theory at this point.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
But I don't know why we automatically go. We need
more signs and we've got to figure out the configuration
of the roads up there. Maybe it's the it's not
the road, it's the driver. Sorry, it's okay, okay, but look,
and again I'm trying to be objective about this, but
my son got run off the road and coming from

(11:29):
Purdue during Christmas break and he got run off the
road and the truck kept going totaled his car.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
So I believe it was in the eighties. Yeah, it
was in the eighties. It was in the eighties when
they the CDLs came out and you got grandfathered in.
I got grandfathered in, right, So I got grandfathered in
on a Class B so I didn't have to take
I didn't have to take the driving test or any
of that at this point.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
But at that time, could you drive an eighteen wheeler shift?

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Well? No, because I was driving Class B on Okay,
I got you. So all I had to do was
take the written test. Okay, and I didn't have to
do the driving test because I had been driving. So
I got a Class B. Well, they said, you have
X amount of time and here's the drop dead date
to take the test. Guess when I waited to take
the test, boy, the very last day. I'm shocked. I

(12:18):
waited eight hours. I'm eight hours to take the test.
But then later in life, I did get a Class A,
so I had to go back and do the test
and all this other stuff. Uh, and it was it
was tough, man, it was.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
It was a It was pa taking test. That makes
me think of act. One of our buddies on our text,
Chaine Son just got a thirty six, the perfect score,
and I.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Thought one hundred perfect. So I got he's way low, dude,
makes sense with your friend.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
But I basically said, I named two other guys and
said us three combined, don't get a thirty six if
you do all of our numbers for the act. But okay,
that's what I figured.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Sorry.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
I wanted to start the show with that because I
saw it again yesterday and I know people more frustrated
stop blaming the expressway.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh and by the way, thank you all for your calls.
We did this yesterday. We really enjoyed hanging out with
you all. So we're gonna do this more. Yeah, yeah,
take some phone calls.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
We are we are men of the people.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Maybe we'll do like an impossible question like the Okay,
let's just off the top of my head, impossible question,
who's better looking Tony or Dwight? It is impossible to you. Well,
I was saying there was a perfection. Oh no, no, no, no, alrighty.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Okay, let's do joke today. We'll break a little early
because we have a ton of stories to get to today.
Plus we have a crusade for children trivia with Lance McGarvey,
and I'm gonna yell at him for the four he's nothing,
had nothing to do with it. The four hundred dollars
student athletic fee for.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
You, Garvey, Captain dell Earn, you'll have last. McGarvey cows
to three one two Dale Earnhardt.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Or true.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
He's not making up all right, Here we go, hey, fellas.
So this pig walks into the bar orders ten drinks.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Oh my gosh, he's thirsty.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Ten number one. The kila's right here right now. After
he drinks them all, the bar tender looks at him.
He goes, hey, pig, don't you want to know where
the bathroom is? He goes, no, no, no, I'm good.
I we we we all the way home.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
All right, that's not bad.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
That's not bad.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
That's a good Friday, Joe. All right, oh, here we.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Go Jefferson Animal Hospital. Did you know that your dog
your cat could save the lives of others? This is
huge and there's benefits for you and your pet. Listen
to this. If your dog's over fifty pounds and your
cat's over ten pounds, they can save the lives just
by donating blood. One donation can save four to six
pets lives. Folks, that's huge. But it's not all about

(14:52):
saving lives. There's benefits for you and your pet, like
regular checkups, vaccines, and more. To find out more, contact
Jefferson Animal Hospital.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
All right, folks. Vision first, I'm wearing my glasses right now.
When a year and a half ago and got my glasses,
I was tired of having fifty different pairs of readers.
I got the transition glasses, which are state of the art.
They're not like bifocals. They're better than that. So if
that's your position, great, go in there to Vision First
Eye Care and get an appointment. There are eighteen locations.

(15:23):
I didn't even realize how close mine was in Saint Matthew's.
Originally went to the Papa Level one near Saint X.
But I will say this, whether you're in second grade,
which is the age I took my daughter to Vision First,
or you're six hundred years old, they'll take care of
you at Vision firstiicare dot com.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
From our dear friend twelve twelve says I got my
CEO after COVID. These schools only care about getting people
to pass. The test was super easy. They don't get
real highway experience or learn how to park at all.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Well you got here's a shocker. They used to make
really good money, so you got good drivers because people
they couldn't. They wouldn't just take anybody because it was
a fight to me make it out of the class,
because you got paid at the end. Now they're saying
it's less than minimum wage sometimes on these routes. That's
wrong for truck drivers. They got to get paid back
after this on news radio eight forty whas.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Happy birthday would have been birthday to screaming Jay Hawkins,
he would have been ninety six. No screaming Jay Hawkins,
who we're hearing right now.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Locally, there's a scream John Hawks is a badass.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Screaming Jay Hawkins who you're here now. Had six marriages.
His last wife was thirty one years old when he died.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
I can't handle Jackie. Why would you do that? Five
more times he had?

Speaker 2 (16:45):
He had three children with his first wife, but over
the other years with his wives and not he claimed
to have fifty seven other total children, which may or
may not be in bs. But afterwards a biographer who's
a friend of his it up a website to try
and trace these children with DNA. He found thirty three
of them. How about that? Yeah, so he maybe did

(17:08):
have fifty seven kids.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
The ego is something six years old. Your egos out
of control when you have that many kids. Sorry, there
must be more of me. I must have more of
me around the planet.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay, hey listen, maybe you got a job, or you're

about Value Tools on Critin and Drive. Yeah, baby, that's
what I'm talking about. Lower prices, better quality, and that
means better bids, more competitive bids, and happier customers for
you and a bigger bottom line for you or your company.

(19:11):
Value Tools is on critinin Drive. They have sales and
they have repair. And by the way, they're the largest
supplier of BOSH in the entire state. If you think
if you think that big box stores have better prices,
think again. Don't believe me. Get down to twenty five
oh one crit and Drive and see these prices for yourself.

(19:33):
Value Tool sales and repair.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Have you ever seen Have you seen all the Terminator movies?

Speaker 2 (19:38):
I know I haven't because at one point he's got stupid.
It was like the cousin of Sarah Conner.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah, there's only a certain avenues you can take with it,
because they've gone back in time twenty times now and
the whole story has changed like thirteen times. But there's
a scene John, have you seen Terminators.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
I have not.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Oh Johnny, I'm not cultured on in the classic games.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
But you're the producer of the show Man and you're
part of the show. So we're gonna give you know
how you get a reading.

Speaker 6 (20:05):
List, Yeah, of the summer, it's a movie list, watching
all list.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
No, no, no, We're gonna bring you in the actual
VHS tapes and you and your family gotta buy a VHS. Yeah, dude,
player just out of VHS as a kid, Well, you
gonna get another one.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Just put her in your arms. Well what are you doing.
You're sitting on the couch feeding her? Whatever's going on?
You got time? It's true, Come on, dude, because let
me tell you, once she gets to be two, three,
four years old, you're you're watching nothing but kid movies, dude,
So get your get your movie watching in now.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
All right.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
I say that because there's always a scene where you
know how the MRI machine is magnetic? Will you turn
it on?

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Oh? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:43):
And I always wonder because they always they it. They
always as a defense mechanism. The robot's about to kill
them and they turn on the MRI and it sucks
the back to the MRI. They've done that twice in
Terminator movies. Maybe three times. Oh my gosh, And I said, man,
it's not that powerful of a magnet. Apparently it is.
A sixty one year old man is in critical condition

(21:06):
after walking into an active MRR room in Westbury, Nassau County,
New Yorker. He had a large metal chain around his neck.
The magnetic pull of the machine dragged him towards the device,
causing what authority is called a medical episode.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Is the machine? Okay?

Speaker 6 (21:24):
That exact thing happens in the new Final Destination movie.
Oh doesn't the person die, except, of course, you know they.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Die in I gotta see that movie. MRI machines have
extremely extremely strong magnets that are always on, and they
can pull metal objects into the machine with forrest. See.
I always thought that was made up. There's no way.
You know how the necklace goes.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
It seems fake.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, yeah, it seems fake. But apparently it's not.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Well, these machines they cost between one and three million dollars. Yes,
that's the price tag on him. And when something like
this happens, it usually harms the machine.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Now they have companies that just do MRIs. Because Jackie
has to have an MRI done for breasts every six months, I.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Think, do I think? Is that the where they smash them? No?

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Oh no, that's the that's the old fashioned way. These
are the MRI of your boobs and chants do because
it's all riddled through her side of the family.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
So have you ever heard of the Hippopotamus act? Man,
where you're not supposed to talk about people's medical conditions
and history on a fifty thousand watt flamethrower radio station
that gets thirty two states? Have you ever heard of
that law?

Speaker 1 (22:33):
You talk about your wife's boobs all the time?

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Well, not medically, Okay, So this whenever I refer to
Simon and Schuster, it's in a non medical way.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
All right, we gotta go to break news Radio eight
forty whs.

Speaker 2 (22:47):

Did you get yours?

Speaker 2 (23:09):
John?

Speaker 3 (23:10):
I did.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
So here's what I'm gonna do. We've been without a
coffee machine all week here at the studio, so I
think what I'm gonna do is buy a regular old
school coffee pot that never ever breaks down. That's true.
I've had mine for ten years. Here's the kicker, though,
whenever the three of us leave, whenever the show ends,
taking the pot and put.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
It in my.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
What am I? And what am I? A?

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Well?

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Why are you surprised?

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Then?

Speaker 1 (23:37):
I'm not. But they are fifteen dollars. We switched out
from the pods because I was like, we're spending too
much money on this pods. I don't trust that we're
We're pushing hot water through these thin plastic that can't
be healthy.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
I just read an article where microplastics is super healthy
for your body.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
We all have microplastics in our bodies.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
We got way worse than that.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
I know, I know, I know, but I will tell you.
I mean the the the coffee. I buy lots of Posta,
lots of pasta Louisville dot com. So I just talked
to Mattie mccarkole. I said, call call John over there
at lots of pasta, se if you'll give us some
of that ground up coffee he has. He has imported
Italian and African coffee.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Do you all do the thing where you grind it
and you got like a thing goes.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Well that.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Must be fun first thing in the morning.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
You do it the night before, all right. This is
why you know Maggie's field hockey, John's wrestling teams all that.
Anytime they were like okay, we the parents would split
up the duties of running the team. Right when it
came to who's going to do the money and the
account every single time Jack and I would go Nope,

(24:47):
not a chance. I don't want anything to do anything
at church, Like who's going to do the accounting?

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Nope, nope, that's my that's my main thing. As you know,
Tony and I both do. We try to do as
much as we can. And when it comes to charities
and then the first meeting, I always say I want,
in no way, shape or form, be connected with any
GoFundMe yep, because people will contact us say, hey, this
happened for this family. Can you raise some money? My

(25:13):
answer is always one, well, we won't raise the money,
we will help you promote it.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
And sometimes I'm always leary of the person that goes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'll do it. I'll do it because look at this
money raised to help Silver Creek High School baseball team
went missing and now police are investigating. The details of
the investigation are out loud, out ligned. In a twelve
page document, the team raised thirty six thousand dollars to

(25:42):
help pay for a spring break trip. That's patty, I mean,
come on, I mean, I know that youth athletics is
out of control, but thirty six thousand dollars for a
trip to spring break?

Speaker 2 (25:52):
There wasn't Yeah, but the baseball team, you said, yo,
last trip they had so much fun it left them
in stitches.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
I will allow it.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Okay, oh my god, an what Yes, but the trip
before that was kind of foul.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
I will allow that.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
You're in a roller day bog.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Okay, Hey, hey, do you walk away to Jack Black?
Taylor cash me in walk away from the Jack Black table.
But an investigation of the SBOA found that nine two
and one dollars was never deposited into the account. Between
twenty two and twenty three, The fundraising company said players
could receive a cash prize for raising funds above a

(26:35):
certain threshold, and then that and was supposed to be
divided among the players. It's extremely disappointing. People donate money
to help the kids, and it sounds like maybe some
adults benefited from that. That is a quote from Sellersburger,
Sellersburg resident John Calburn. Yes, this is why we always

(26:56):
and John, when you get involved with that stuff, never
go Never be in charge of the money. It's not
worth it.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
I'll believe it.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
John.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Can you look up something real quick on your Google machine,
find out what one hundred and fifty million in nineteen
eighty five dollars would be worth today? Because that story
reminds me over the weekend it was the fortieth anniversary
of Live Aid that raised one hundred and fifty million dollars.
It was a lot of money then a lot of
money then, and we're going to find out exactly how

(27:23):
much it is.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
I'm going to guess it is worth five hundred million.
I bet you one hundred.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
I bet you're right. I bet you're right. I bet
it's about five hundred.

Speaker 6 (27:34):
Google AI is not helping me right now.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Unfortunately, it doesn't want to help you, doesn't want to
help me like today, it's like it's Friday, asking me
stupid questions.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
Stop here right now? What did he do to Google Ai?
Because he's always annoying people. He annoys me, annoys you.
Now he's annoyed the damn computer in the studio and
it won't even answer his question. I do it knows
I'm leaving next week for a few days. Well you
were until your vacation time just got revoked by the
Google machine machine.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Do you want to let do you want to let
AI know that you're leaving town or taking rid?

Speaker 2 (28:05):
So maybe we won't know. But anyway, they raised one
hundred and fifty million. But to get it to to
whatever it was somewhere in Africa, it had to go
through the government. And they found out the government like
very little what to feed the people that went to
buy arms and all kinds of stuff. It was really sad.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Just like building permits, Just like building permits Vanetty building permit.
Just go into the pile, pull the Venetti building permit
and just just say okay, or.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Don't he listen. He's not your boss. He can't tell
you what to do to prove it.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
I'm sure they do a great job, and I'm just
encouraging them to go to the pile, pull it out.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Sign it.

Speaker 6 (28:44):
So go ahead, John, So one hundred and fifty million
today is four million for eighty one thousand.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
No, it's going to be.

Speaker 6 (28:51):
Four billion, one thousand billion dollars a number.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
It's over four billion dollars. No, I'm sorry, unless the
Google machine is like, cannot be true here, that cannot
be true. One hundred and fifty million dollars in eighty
five is now the equivalence of four billion. That can't
be true.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Hang on, okay, here's what I'm getting. One hundred and
fifty million nineteen eighty five is equivalent to purchasing power
about four billion, four hundred and eight million dollars eight nine.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
I didn't believe you.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Just it's not even me. It's Google.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
It's your haircut. It's just doesn't need to it's it's
an untrusting. It's an untrusting. It's a bad haircut. It's
a bad haircut. It is if we're standing at a
bus stop. I'm not talking to you. The haircut throws a.

Speaker 6 (29:31):
Dad who hasn't had a haircut in probably two months.
It needs to happen.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah, his haircut.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Well, there you go, reason enough to get it cut.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
I rather like your sister Bud Bundy.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Speaking of money, and we'll ask I think he gets
the joke. No he doesn't, so it's okay. He's youngster.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
I'm excited today because today I start day one, baby
of getting on the road recovery. I'll be at Allison
Bodenhousen at three point thirty start start physical therapy.

Speaker 1 (30:02):

Speaker 2 (30:03):
I didn't tell you guys, so I need both of
y'all sit out for a second.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Are you actually gonna yell? Don't help me? I gotta
do it myself.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Of course I'm gonna do that. It's my favorite joke
to do, lipping around.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Do not throw yourself on the ground and go.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Okay. Evidently my therapist name is Joey. Hey, hey, here's
what what you do. Go over to that garbage camp
and start singing with those other fellas and don't.

gonna do like I did this post heart attack deal
and they sent me home because I was like, they
had his lifting five pound weights and only run, you know,
running like five minutes. And I was like, look, man,

usually get fantastically good looking in shape people like you.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
I'm doing listen anything else and Boden has and tells
me to do I'm gonna do.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Oh are you kidding me? You know why? I'm not
two words people. Person.

they'll have you bounce on it for a minute.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
The exercise. I don't know anything about. My therapist and anatomy.

the pelvic floor.

diaper and you're going to the bathroom or you're doing
your kegels.
