Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
How many times have I told you you don't do

(00:01):
that job anymore? And you've had a cease and desist
from JCPS to quit wearing your gear.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
I am. I am the bust route supervisor.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
No, he's at that job is not your job, it is.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
It is my job.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
I'm his spokesman too.

Speaker 4 (00:19):
Hey, ok you wow, it's my PR guy, John Alden,
All right, great guy.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
All complaints go through me. Maybe I don't want this job.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Ah, Happy Baby Friday aka Thursday news Radio eight forty Friday.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
What's what's the difference between baby Friday and Friday? Baby Friday?
What's the difference between baby Friday? And when I say Friday,
you're making a stupid little statement up?

Speaker 3 (00:42):
All right, Friday, stupid, stupid.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
We got too many lead stories to do this. I
think we'll go debating which one to go with. But
I obviously schools are open. Traffic socks, it's it's what
it's back. I mean, it was definitely a big difference
for traffic for me.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
It was same for me.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
But I actually this morning was easier than yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Really, I swear I must have more school buses than
out route.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
I bet you do.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Bourbon and Beyond. I think changing the entire what experience,
the entire experience that Bourbon and Beyond and Louder than
Life is the lead story right now because so many
people our age and younger go to these two events.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Whoa see, Danny Wimmer has me blocked. We do this
thing where we joke around each other and he fires
me a restraining order.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Still got us autograph none nonetheless, and then.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
He blocks me on social media and I try to
get through on fake accounts, like it's a whole fun thing.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
That we do together. Yes, so I haven't heard anything
this way yet.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Every once in a while you should check something on
the Internet or the news, and you would get privy
to something that's as important as this to you.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, this is a big deal. I'll look, this is
my Kentucky Derby. Okay, what I look forward to it.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
I'm going to try to explain to you why this
thing is going to change your entire experience and make
it I think way better.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
Oh my gosh. Okay, yes, so it's already top notch. Sorry,
I want you do your story. No, I don't think
I don't know that. When Jackie went up to Chicago
for the Lallapalooza. She was just like, I'm sorry. It
was one thousand percent better than Loud.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
You lose the wishes. It was as good as Danny Wimmer.
Stop with that stupid fake news crap.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, so they're moving the stages. Oh okay, over to
where the Freedom Haul and the South Wing are. The
stages will be there, and they're going to include the
entire basically the you need your buddy in from the
fairgrounds they're gonna include and I think I'm getting this right,
the entire fair grounds are going to be bourbon. Beyond

(02:48):
that means you have access to Kentucky Kingdom. So you're
gonna be able to go into Kentucky Kingdom, ride some rides,
get drinks, some food, sit down, do whatever you want.
You're gonna be able to go in the South Wing
and all the merchandise will be in the South wind
West wings. You could go inside. So they're going to
make oh my god, yes they're going to or it's
the other.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
You're right, you're right. Okay, they made this announce me yesterday. Okay,
so it is going to David. We got get David
beck On.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, there's no question because this is this is a
huge change and the experience for this will completely change
for you.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
So hang on now.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
If so, if I'm correct, then if it's in the
so basically the crowds in the parking lot.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
So are the stages on the other side where that
big field is that we usually park at.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
So first of all, they've added a seventh stage that's
going to be inside the theme park itself. I think
that's going to be a small one. But the two
main stages normally you could see those from my sixty five.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
When those are gone, yeah those are those won't be there.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah, it won't be in that same little field, just
so little park people there instead, I would assume. So
instead they're going to be flipping them. Like you, when
you're a crowd member looking at the stages, you'll be
looking as if you're looking back at the opposite direction
where you used to be able to correct. So everything's
backed up closer towards they, like you said, the fair
grounds and Kentucky Kingdom, and I'm guessing they're trying to

(04:10):
incorporate the parking lot and the theme park all in
one big festial.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
This is a no brainer. It's a no brainer why
you would not just say, listen, fair Grounds, we need
to take over the whole place while we're here, and
and and include the air condition and seats and and
vending inside and and the Kentucky Kingdom is a no brainer.
And they're smart enough. Kentucky Kingdom is smart enough to say, yes,

(04:36):
let's expose our our park to a lot of people
that that normally wouldn't. So the price of your ticket
to get into Bourbon and Beyond and Louder than Life
will include Kentucky Kingdom.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
That's a huge deal.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Yeah, I'm anxious to see this stage layout because we'll
go to uh on the festival website and they'll show you.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
So, well, are people going to stand on pavement?

Speaker 5 (05:00):
They're gonna have turf zones, turf, they're gonna lay out
turf right, Yeah, which last year, if you remember, they
had to cancel one of the days due to all
of the flooding, and they had to cancel the entire
thing several years ago due to flooding, right, and when
you had the days that were left, it was a
massive mudpit. Now, I don't know if this would prevent
a mud pit, but it's definitely a step in the
right direction from avoiding it.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
I feel like it's huge.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
It is huge, and it might make even me go okay,
because I have no desire to stand for twelve hours
and wait line for a bathroom and a beer. I'm
just I'm a jaded, older individual.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
You wants to go ride the Kentucky Flyer.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, I did rock music for so long and all
that in concerts, I'm not. I just I'm just like
I've dropped Jackie off and picked her up. I'm just
not one of those festival rock show guys.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
But Dwight, this is.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yeah, this is what I looks forward to every these
two and I'm looking at the the layout. There's two
stages right where Kentucky Kingdom meets I guess Phillips Lane
is what it looks like. And it takes up that
whole field behind Kentucky Kingdom. And you didn't even have
to walk all the way through to where I guess
is the front of Freedom Hall or Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
That's what I'm thinking. It doesn't say Freedom Hall, but
that's where the stages are going to be, and they're
gonna lay out turf, I guess to your point of
standing on concrete.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, they're also adding a second main entrance. We left
that out, oh turfing.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
I do like the fact that if that's going to
be the only event, because remember the time that we
had Louder than Life, there were some kind of other things.
Two are three other things going on for l football
game going on down the street, and then Trinity that night,
and then Churchill Downs had racing, that racing and all that,
and they pulled it all off.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I get it, they pulled it all off. They did
a great job. LMPD thumbs up. But I think this
changes the dynamics of this event for the better by
a while margin. And I'm wondering how long it? You
know how sometimes you get that good idea and go,
why are we just thinking of this? They should have
taken it's the largest is now Louder than Life is

(07:11):
the largest, not Bourbon to Beyond, but Louder than Life
is the largest heavy metal show in the world, right.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
In the States, the United States. I think Wacken would have.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
What is Wacken?

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, Okay, Wacken's a really big deal. It's like seven days.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Well I do, and look, I do have buddies that
are my age. I graduate from high school with that
go all four days and they spend twelve hours a
day out there, and I'm just like, I don't know
how you do it. I'd need a nap No, I'd
need to nap area. Is there a nap area I
can get to.

Speaker 5 (07:42):
There's gonna be more shady viewing as opposed to that
big old open field with no trees.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I got to drink by fiber drinks and I get
my medication.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
I drink my meta musal, you know, but I use
instead of orange juice in vodka.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
That weekend, I have meta musical in vodka.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
You know, doing beer bongs instead of uh, you know,
back in the day. And then now my my watch
goes b BP.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
People time to take some medication.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Hey, honey, bun, did you bring my little pill?

Speaker 3 (08:09):
There you go? Got my pill? Bugs?

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Click click click, I do.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Guys, I'm a little bit nervous this morning. Why well,
I think I might have let the fox into the henhouse.
Here's what's happened. Last night. My mom she texted me.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
She said, hey, are uh hot water heaters not really
that hot?

Speaker 4 (08:28):
I said, well that's no problem. Here's what you need
to do called b K plumbing. Ask for John. You
so centered John Bergen's number. Yes, so she's calling John
Bergen to come fix her water heater b K Plumbing today.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
And you know he's super duper good looking.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Oh, you did let the fox in the hands.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
So you know what she's gonna do.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Oh, she will not be able to concentrate.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
She's gonna start breaking everything that has to do with
plumbing and calling b K Plumbing every day just to
get poor John Bergen over the house going.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
I have no idea how this. You know, good neck
pipe got hack solved?

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Okay, you did not get your used to be fat
butt in the car and drive over to your mom's
house and take a look at it to make sure
the pilot lights lit or not and you sometimes your
leg hits the dial and it turns it down or up.
You didn't get in the car and investigate this for
your mother.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
No, scared there might be a spider down there?

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Oh manment you know what? Okaya where spiders go?

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Basement? Mom? I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Next time you have my phone number, Mom, call me.
I'll ride on over and we'll take a look at
the water heater. I'm sorry that your son cannot pull
himself from the couch to come look at your water here.
That could be dangerous if there's an issue, But don't
worry about it, Dwight. Don't worry about It's just your
mom again.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
If you have a mom. If you have a problem,
does not involve a spider.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Spider? Is the spider a spider? Those are much more dangerous?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Did myself income out a little bit?

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Sorry? Ye?

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Spider? Is that right?

Speaker 1 (10:11):
So look at look at the renderings. You're you're gonna like.
I think it's gonna make it better, all right? So?
Uh years ago Apple, Uh, when they went to the iPhone,
they couldn't figure out what to use on. You know,
Steve Jobs wanted to touch it and expand it. The
stuff you can do with the iPhone today that that
wasn't in it. Well, there was gorilla glass that was

(10:31):
manufactured in Kentucky.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Hats I'm oh, hang on, I'm uh, well, I'm against
that and other things sickening.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
What is what to kill these.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Poor gorillas make glass out of them just for your
stupid iPhones? Have you ever seen what we've done to
jungles When it comes to you know, cutting down brush
and stuff like that. It just runs the planet now
we're killing gorillas to make glass out of them. No,
thank you, Apple, I won't be purchasing your stupid phone.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
It's fake gorilla, not really. So they had this on
the shelf. They weren't making it, but they had the technology,
and this company was just like, we have that Corning,
so you know, we have that. So they start. They
became the number one producer of the gorilla glass for

(11:18):
iPhone and now iPhone. Two point five billion dollar commitment
to the plant in Haritsburg, Kentucky, increasing cornings, manufacturing engineering
workforce in the state by fifty percent. It's it's it's
long overdue. There are some benefits of finally pushing tariffs
and pushing these American based companies that are worth trillions

(11:42):
of dollars to invest in this place instead of somewhere else.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
It's kind of amazing how quickly it It turned almost
on a dime though.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
You know, Apple has no debt.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Now they are worth three and a half trillion dollars.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
It's not so much it's not so much they think
they're I think they're better than they are. They're not Samsung.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Again, they could have done this a long time ago.
But thank you Apple, for bringing some jobs to Kentucky.
They are not the wealthiest company in the world. That
is Navidia. Do you know who that is?

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yes, they may grow a glass.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
We don't make the surfboard, we make it strong, all right.
Navidia is the they went from nothing.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Oh is the branch Davidians.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
No? Oh no, they all died, most of them.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
All right.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
So that company is AI, the AI company AI there
now market cap is four point two four trillion dollars.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Okay, I'm going out hot take here. I say this
whole AI thing. Yeah fat, it's just a fad. Yeah
it's yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Microsoft is three point nine trillion, Apples at three trillion,
Google's at two point three trillion. Amazon is at two
point two trillion.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Pretty impress.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
You gotta admit us pretty impressive when you top Google.
Oh yeah, you know, well, Apple is just so strong.
They're just they're ridiculous. No debt, too far from the tree.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
I mean they could buy I mean we always talked
about you know, you know, Amazon could buy Ups and
Ups is a monster, a monster. But these companies, finally,
let's force them to start doing stuff.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Here. You can do it.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
You have no debt, you have a ton of cash.
Let's go, come on, And the reason you worth two
three four trillion dollars is because you go overseas and
use slave labor.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yeah, we want to know what your core values are Apple,
Thank you. Okay, your core values, thank you.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
I don't want to get into this other lead story
because I think it's a lead story to you. Okay,
but we don't have time for it. But Howard Stern
looks like he is at the end of his run.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah I saw that.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, he's he seems to be done. So his contract
with Serious Satellite Radio, I think is not going to
be renewed.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
But I haven't listened to the guy for at least
a decade. I used to love it, and it was
still really good at interviews when he had somebody of
noteworthy on, but he would just have like, there's a
character Mary Anne from Brooklyn. Her whole thing was a
real loud, shrill, annoying voice, and why do you want
to hear that?

Speaker 2 (14:28):
So she would.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
He would have her on every day, so got me
marked the back. It was just well for a long
it wasn't for me anymore.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
For a long time. I love it.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
A loyal listener years ago you were like, listen to
Stern and I was like, I'm not listening to Stern.
And it's the same stick as it was twenty years ago.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (14:43):
No?

Speaker 2 (14:43):
But I loved it. But I think he got lazy.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
I think maybe a five hundred million dollar contract two
times in a row may make you lazy.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
He was the number one radio personality in America for
the last time he really did. And tell you the truth,
you don't get Tony and Dwight. Howard Stern doesn't get
fired by clear Channel.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
And then this show actually took over after he got
let go from at the time clear Channel one hundred
point five of Fox.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Hey, what idiots can we find to replace Stern?

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Let me tell you it was brutal. We'll do it.
It was brutal. People I was.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Doing afternoons, you were in sales in this VP said
when do we put Tony and Dwight together? People went, oh,
are you serious? You're stupid enough to take this slot?
All right, we'll talk about that a little bit later.
Plus there's there's so much stuff going on. They're going
to start crushing cars too. If you if you drive,

(15:37):
and I think there's like a ninety thousand dollars car.
They're going to crush you.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
I love it all right, no joke of the day.

trap about stupid rock stories. No one cares about the squirrel.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah, I don't want to do it.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Trap that nobody cares.

Speaker 3 (21:41):

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Welcome back News Radio eight forty whas the Tony and
Dwight chillbrides by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety part
of our summer Safe Driving series, we'll have an interview
of troopper Tyler Shawl.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
ESPN. Earlier this week, they confirmed a massive deal that
we'll see NFL media and NFL Red Zone fall under
the ESPN umbrella.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Is red zone? Is that where they show like it's.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Just anytime the team gets inside the twenty, they start
to run, they record that.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
I had direct ticket for years and they put a
couple of features on. It's been nine years since I've
had it, but they put a couple of features on.
Like one year they did the game in sixty minutes
and it was just the snaps, there was no wall
walking up to the It was monotonous, horriball.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
I couldn't watch it. And then this red zone crap.
I wasn't a fan of.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
No are you no?

Speaker 1 (23:08):
No? I like watching football so and most people are
like that. When it's a new idea, it's kind of cool,
and people like this who's also I just see the
players that matter, and then different ideas like the Mannings
have their broadcast for Monday Night Football, which I don't
I think was so cool at the beginning, and No,
I watched it a couple of times and I'm like,
I'm not watching it. I'm watching the football game.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
I think the worst NFL decision. And I love the guys.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
When they had Dennis Miller on Monday Night Football and
there'd be a play and he go, that reminds me
of when Zeus went to Mount Zibiis and conquered this virtins.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah, they tried to. Could we get it? You're educated?

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Did you see the new technology that they're using with
the NFL. No, they are now going to mark the
ball with technology, not with the chain gang. What.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yes, that's half the funest I know, and half the
links come out.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
I know, I know. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
At least they did that for the Hall of Fame game,
and I think they had mentioned that they're going to
do this with the NFL.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
So the you gotta have the chain gang come out
there and then you hold your breath and they starts slowly,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (24:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
I've seen those just past the now kind of scratch
their head and look that.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
I don't know. I've seen some refs place the ball
where you're.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
So I guess it'll have a central so there's a
ball placement and they still bring the chains out.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
No, No, I don't think the change are involved. I
think yes, I think unless they use it just to
mark they know so the players know where to damn run.
But I don't think they're going to do is it
a first down or not? With the change. The chains
are gonna be there, I assume, and then they'll they'll
they'll is it a first down? They'll do that electronically.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Well, like I said earlier this week, ESPN inc the deal.
They will be NFL Media and NFL Red Zone exclusively
this fall is going to fall into their umbrella. Yes,
yesterday they confirmed another big deal.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
I mean, I'll say this is a big deal. I
still don't understand that, And don't hate me. It's just
I'm not into this.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
But World Wrestling Entertainment is now to be a part
of ESPN's new streaming platform. Through the agreement, ESPN is
going to be the home of WrestleMania in twenty twenty six,
as well as other marquee events like SummerSlam, Royal Rumble
Survival Series and Money in the Bank. It's a I mean,
it's a draw I just saw.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
But isn't this part of the bigger picture of what
we're choosing for streaming? Like I normally just sign up
for it and I forget I have it, and I
paid five dollars or ten dollars a month. I'm just
because I'm an idiot, that's exactly what. But I'm lucky
enough that I have the money that I could. I
can do that and forget about it. But there's a
lot of people that don't have that kind of free
cash and they have to decide do I want Paramount

(25:52):
dot Com or and they have so I'll have Yellowstone,
So you get it for Yellowstone. But how many streaming
service do we have? So ESPN is just they're getting
the WWE people and going, Okay, we got you, you
got it. You're gonna have to watch You're gonna have
to buy ESPN dot Com to get it.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
But I guess that.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
I guess the WWE folks they already do these pay
per views.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
But maybe this is gonna be a pay per view
and you have to be a subcribery, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
There is a cluster that you can buy that is Disney,
ESPN and Hulu, but they all, no matter what you pay,
have commercials.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
Yeah, I will say this though I'm not a WWE fan,
but I know it's a big, big, big deal.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
For example, they.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Have Look if heavy metal had a sport, it'd be that.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
That'd be that man.
