Speaker 1 (00:00):
I want to thank David Beck for coming in just

(00:01):
a couple of minutes ago from the fairgrounds. He runs
the show. He's got a busy next couple of months
with the State Fair now and of course Bourbon and
Beyond and Louder than Life, and then dropped a bomb
on us at the end they were replacing all Freedom
Hall seats.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
It was pretty cool if David back to bring a
cow in. I want to apologize to our manager and
our president, Christy Bb for the gift the cow left us.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
How many stomachs does a cow have?

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Seventy three? Eight?

Speaker 3 (00:28):
I think it's ten?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Is it eight?

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Close?

Speaker 3 (00:31):
This is a good It should have been a crusade
for children. Question.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
It has been before. I think twice.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
What is ok?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
It's four? Four? I think they have four because they
eat the grass and they have.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
To specifically talk about a Siamese twin cow.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Oh got it?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
You should be more specific.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yes, sir, I apologize. It was my question, not the answer.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
What is an eight stomached cow? Real estate ceo threatened
jobs with AI and it didn't go over well. This
happened in Las Vegas when a realtor with extreme links
and let it be known that the guy's name, the
CEO's name is Blake Owens. This Lake Blake.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Oh Blake Owens. What I just.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
What did he do?

Speaker 1 (01:21):
He threatened the I'll replace you in AI.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Boy, he told everybody that he worked for. It is
real estate company that you know. Hey, listen, I'm bringing
a AI. But this is not necessarily to replace people.
On June. On July twenty ninth, someone sent Owens a
bloody head of a pig along with a note signed
with just the letter m oh my. Another. Well, all

(01:44):
those two notes and the other one says that AI
is not going to replace brokers. Then it went on
to say that pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Police in Las Vegas are now investigating the Godfather type.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, it used to be the fish you get a
dead fish and wrapt newspaper. Oh yeah, Horset is the
famous scene, which supposedly is based on a true story.
But the CEO obviously is he sent that out. A
lot of CEOs are saying, hey, we got to get
with it because AI is going to replace some jobs.
But I look, they've tried to do this. Realtors tried,

(02:24):
real estate companies tried to do this years ago with
the Internet. Hey, we don't need all these brokers. Everyone's
going to the internet anyway. Insurance salespeople. They've tried to
do it with insurance, and guess what they found out.
People want to talk to somebody about their insurance. They
don't want an AI type Internet situation, a fake person

(02:45):
they want to or not a real person. They want
to talk to somebody.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
You've heard it from me and Tony First and John
Auden have he likes it when I speak for him.
That's true and on behalf of John Auden. The Internet
is a.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Fad Artificial intelligence. No, no, no, no, we wal real intelligence.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
But I wonder if, like one of the workers said,
you know, man, they go replaces with AI. I know
what a'll win him over. Let's sing him. Let's send
him a pig head.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
How do you get a pig head? Could you just
go to the butcher. You go to the butcher and nothing.
That's the butcher. I need the pig head.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Nothing but pig heads has the best prices that I
have found.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
I've been to a party where they had the They
put the pig, they put the hog in the ground
and they lay out the entire whole hog on a
table with the head still on it, and someoney ended
up ripping it off and playing basketball with it.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Let's keep it on, Ai.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
I don't know why I remember that party.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
I tried to glaze past it, but I couldn't. Yeah,
and now I'm trying to think about pig basketball puns
and it's screwing my head up and I'll just skip
it all. Man, it has been husk keeping on Ai.
Man's been hospitalized over a diet tip from chat GPT.
And you know what, I've googled medical questions before. Really, Yeah,

(04:07):
Like I've googled how.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Many people have died of an achilles heel?

Speaker 2 (04:11):
No, no, at the Dwight Witten Achilles Terror Foundation, I
know that statistic. And folks, if you're listening right now,
it's on your heart to donate to my foundation. Here's
a startling, nay, a sobering stat Three hundred and twelve
million people die every single day is staggering from Achilles

(04:33):
attended terror.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
MINDU set you're staggering because your achilles?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, thank you John On for the undown.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
When is your walk? Are you gonna have a walk
at the Why are there bugs in here because I
don't know if the hell, Hey, everything's fine.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
And then Mario shows up.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah, bugs, he's like a plague.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
We're gonna start calling him.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Are you gonna have an achilles heel walk?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
I get to go see doctor uh Solomon today and
he's gonna hopefully give me good news. M I hope
if doctor Solomon checks out my achilles tendon in case
there's pain, I hope doctor Solomon numbs it first.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Anyway, don't take medical advice from Chad GPT. It's accurate
and safe sometimes, but a medical general reported to the
sixty year old man, I had to find out the
hard way. He was concerned about taking up. He was
first concerned thinking his neighbor was poisoning somehow. Oh so
so he shows up, He shows up to the emergency room,

(05:35):
They run sober any tests. I can't find out what's
going on. He was finally diagnosed with something called bromism.
Thank you, thank you, John Alden.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
I'm sure you're pronouncing this correctly.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
There's one hundred percent not a chance I'm not mispronouncing this.
That's correct.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Bromanism comes when you ingest substances containing bromine. It turns
out that the guy was doing to himself. After conversation
you had with chat GTP or chat pete.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
What is bromine?

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Uh, I'll tell you here.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
It's on the periodic table. That's what I'll can tell
you about.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Ye, I'll tell you here in a second. He wanted
to eliminate, eliminate table salt from his diet, so he
asked chat chat GPT what to do. It suggested, Hey,
substitute with bromine. Bromine is a sodium, but it's commonly
used in swimming pools and hot tubs as a disinfected
After three weeks, oh no, it finally hospitalized the guy and.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
I don't feel so will since I'm sort of eating it,
I probably should start continue to eat it.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Hey, you won't go buffet today? Yeah? Where so other
covered hot tub? Uh?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
The salt issue is just like eggs and bacon and
everything else that the CDC and the Hell Department said
you've got to reduce salt, And then they came out
a couple of years ago and said, yeah, not so much.
Higher salt is fine. Isn't ridiculous?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Isn't it funny? Isn't it funny that people. You know,
we were eating salt every single day. Everything was fine.
Then all of a sudden, missus Dash comes out.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, missus Dash was not bad though.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Who do you think was funding all these uh anti
sodium reports? Yeah, that's right, missus Dash Dash was. Japanese
farmers are victim to thieves and eight thousand dollars hist
over the weekend? What was stolen?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
What was stolen?

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Watermelons? It was a watermelon hest Wow. On Saturday morning,

That's right. You're welcome, Tony.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
I'm sure John Shannon will have that as the lead
next hour.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
No, that's probably a women's soccer story.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Is there something an interesting stat at the end of this?

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yes, this is Provos watermelon farmers. You know how every
time we go out to a gig, all the watermelon
farmers come out and go. We just love the show
when we farm our watermelons. Ed gallerins one of them.
He is man, and we let our watermelons. Listen, there's
one of damn bugs.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Uh No, I just know that a watermelon watermelon cart
is always involved in some sort of wreck. Oh yeah,
in movies, as as two guys are carrying a piece
of glass across the street.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Every seventies cards, every seventies seventies cars.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
They go back and they missed the first one, and
they gobacca beckacross in the car.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Runsy, do we want to steal something? Wouldn't you want
to steal something less back breaking than watermelons?

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Though? I mean, is this why you did the story?

Speaker 2 (08:54):
No, I'm just saying I thought it was interesting.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
That that that six hundred watermelons were stolen somewhere in Japan.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
I'm sure people are driving around at dinner tonight. Yeah,

I love it. And matter of fact, wait till I
tell you what their lead story was. No, here's six
hundred watermelons were stolen somewhere in Japan.

you're righty for the play? Yeah, man was great. Oh
how about from our crew to ta tre or what's

How about from our trey? You have some of this
nice watermelon? You go, watermelon? You say, did you know that, uh,
six hundred watermelons were just stolen over the past weekend
in Japan. Now you got everybody's attention.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Right, Oh, it's the I'm telling you people, and then
once they leave the dinner party, they'll be talking about
that in a car.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
You know.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
It was not that much fun tonight. But I did
enjoy the watermelon stolen in Japan story.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
That was really something. I think I the guy.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
In the Witch.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Tomorrow, you're gonna have squash stolen in uh Russia? Squash
squashed in Russia? Yeah, there you go, squashed. Yeah, that's
the title of this squash was squashed in Russia.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Oh my gord.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Hem it all right? I would give you a dollar out.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Hey wouldn't one guy though? Just go, hey, I got
an idea. Instead of the watermelon factory, let's break into
the feather.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Factory, watermelon factory or whatever they're called. What is Doctor
Seuss story?

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Now, hey, server in a restaurant. I like this. I
would do this every single table, not just trouble table,
but a server admitted line to a table of twenty
people ended up getting a forty percent tip. The guy's
name's Dean Redman. Yes, he says. There was a table
of what appeared to be super filthy rich people he

(10:54):
was serving at the restaurant he works at. So that's
when their rudeness sit in overdrive. Eventually had his fill
of their snapping, their critiques, of his smiling, their complaints,
and generally condescending attitude. That's when he decided to play
the dead mom card. Oh yeah, his mom was dead,
but she died five years prior to ya.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Okay, okay, she's dead already. All right, that's that's better.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
But that's when he I mean not better, that was
not still fresh. Yeah, yeah, she was dead, but she
died five years prior. That's not what Redmonds told the table.
He sold the table that she had just died the
night before. Said. That's when the forks drop and criticism
turned into empathy, which turned into yeah, that's exactly.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
That's the exact number bas of all great relationships lies.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
It's the cornerstone of all good relationship.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, take notes John Holden.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, if you want that tip ladies, Oh yeah, uh yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
I don't know if I would use that all the time,
but it seemed to work this time. And if it's
a big table of rich people, it seems like probably
a good night for him, right.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
But maybe every time. I mean, that's the play whenever
you see, you know, like the Derby crowd comeing in. Oh,
what a wonderful day at the track. I really enjoyed
this overpriced bourbon and it paired well with Dwight Whitton's
watermelon story.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Thank god. I wish we had sound from the Japanese
six hundred watermelons.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
You know, we might get ridiculous. We might get fired
if I play that sound.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Okay, all right, well let's hear your watermelon story.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
I don't have one because I wouldn't mention a watermelon story.
It's some especially in Japan. And it's only six hundred watermelon.
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
It's eight thousand dollars worth of watermelon.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
That is overpriced watermelons.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Like I did, I had to do the math. It's actually,
thank you, that's Chinese money, is it?

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Back after this on news radio eight forty whs.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Oh no, this is sixty four sixty two.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Oh my god, come on, hang on, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Row after you feel satisfied, streak has begun. Damn it.
Excuse my language.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
He's got a text for management. Yes, we normally don't
talk about internal issues on the show, but I'll make
it except reception. Now, Dwight, this is imperative. We start
this immediately, a new initiative on decades. We need to
drop sixties from RELLI in the years immediately.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Oh, I thought they were going to ask you to
do the watermelon story.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
No, that's coming up at eleven o'clock a water story now.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
No, I don't think people are ready for it.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Stop.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
No, people aren't ready for it. No, they're not ready
for it.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Please eliminate sixties from really in the years.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Okay, you got us, Johnny, good job. I'm proud of
your son. Again, I'm proud of you. AOL Did anybody
have an AOL account?

Speaker 4 (22:44):
No?

Speaker 2 (22:45):
I was still I.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Have one my family did Do you have the AOL there?

Speaker 1 (22:51):
It is so. AOL was the first sort of Internet
dial up. You had to dial someone on the phone
and then you have connected over and that's how you
connected with your computers. I know this is insane talk
for people, but it was landlines. It was based on landlines.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
Do you remember what?

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Okay, so, yeah, can if you wanted to, if you
wanted to download a song. You had to hit download
and then go cut your grass, wash your car, take
a shower, go out to dinner, come back, and then
you have fifteen minutes until the download was done.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Somebody sent us a video. So somebody sent us a
video that in the Rock Days. It was fifteen seconds long,
and we sat there at the computer. Fifteen second download
for a video and it took thirty minutes.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Go ahead and explain to people what the video was about.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
I won't. It was the Rock days. It was the
Rock Days. So AOL, a cultural icon that helped shape
us Generation X and connecting to the internet, is shutting
down permanently. The dial up internet service is over.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
What about everybody that has AOL dot com?

Speaker 1 (24:00):
No, those are all gone. Those are all gone. Okay,
this thing was the first and it was crazy and antiquated.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
I'm going to share this article on my MySpace page
because people need to get this information out immediately. If
you're going to lose your email address, right, they had
gone down? No, what you're gonna lose your email address?

Speaker 1 (24:21):
No, people have new email addresses. What the hell's wrong
with you?

Speaker 2 (24:24):
That's why win an AOL.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Landlines are obviously a problem here, and then they had
dropped down to just thousands after millions and millions of
people had AOL accounts. Remember the movie with Tom Hanks,
You have Mail that was AOL.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
How did you survive without a You've got mail? How
do you survive without a landline? Who's going to call
you at supper time and ask about your car insurance?

Speaker 1 (24:48):
AT and T has indeed petitioned the FCC to stop
maintaining the landlines at all. They want to turn them
all off. My mother is gonna freak out.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
I know, I know.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
She still has a phone in the kitchen. Please tell
me what a twenty five foot cord on it? Please
tell me it's a rotary phone. You know rotary phones.
You had to be static right there to the wall.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
But then they came out with the cord phone that
will go way out, but you still had to doll
it on the handset.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Well, I would take I would once we got the
really long I have three sisters, so the phone was
always busy, and I got the phone call from the girlfriend,
I would take the call. I would take the phone
and go into the bathroom and shut the door, and
there would be a wire to the phone in the
kitchen so i'd have some privacy talking to my girlfriend
all the all the sweet nothings that I would do

(25:39):
with my girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Would you whisper, sweet, nothing's in her rear? What that's
what you did? You whisper sweet, nothing's.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
In her ear?

Speaker 1 (25:49):
So AOL is shutting down dial up service. It's over
and icon is done.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Hang on, I'm downloading, you're downloading. Just take it too long,
forget it. Let's fax it.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
That that sound is so annoying, especially and so familiar
with everybody. Oh remember that I.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Got frustrated already and you couldn't use your phone, You couldn't.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Call anybody to ay when the toasters start talking to us.
This is the sound they start making when they boot up.
It don't really be scary.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Damn it, Susan, get off the smart blender.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
You know who's been around longer than AOL, which is
lots of pasta, lots of pasta right there on Lexington
Road in the Heart of Saint Matthews thirty seven seventeen
Lexington Road, in the Heart of Saint Matthew's cheeses from
two hundred different countries. When Maggie came in for a
whopping two or three days and then left us again.
She spent all three days at Lots of Pasta. Her

and her mother went up there and ate in the cafe,
or they sat outside of the cafe, which is now
the coffee shop, so it's a coffee shop. And same
after you. She got a grocery store and the best
deli in Louisville. Check them out. Lots of pasta, lots
of pasta, Louisville dot comfre catoring.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
Well tragedy hits. You're gonna need macaronian cheese that's good
for eighty five years. But you're also gonna need quality sunglasses.
That's why Shady Rays has quality sunglasses. What if you
lose your glasses during the pucalypse, no worries. Shady Rays
will give you Shady Raise.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Gotta finish it.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
Shady raise if you replay. If you lose them, scratch them.

on them when you're going across the river, or maybe
one of the new lizard people from the toxic waste
steals them, don't replace them. Shady Rays Shady.
