Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're gonna clear your throat now or before when we

(00:02):
get on the air.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm not gonna do while we're on the air.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Oh okay, we're changing it up today. Nothing more irritating
than loud loud yer, a.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Lion who's taking his mane off, lives out of town.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Oh guess what I got, buddy, guess what I got?
Right there, Dwight said, Because remember, let's just rewind to.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yesterday, because it was in a different hour.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yesterday, yes, And I said, what's going on with you?
On the air? I said, what's going on with you?
Because something's different today? And he had that look.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
I could believe it.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
He was like, what, I can't believe you're saying that
I've been taking the lion's main. And I was like,
what is lion's main?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
I don't know if I don't know if it's all
psychosomatic or not.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Who cares.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
I start on Monday, Monday, Tuesday. Today, I'm alert, I'm
more focused.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Okay, So I'm gonna take it. Can I take it
right now? Well? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Take it on the air? Why all right?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Take it? Turn into a ferocious jungle animal you wish,
Because here's what you don't want to do. You don't
want to see if there's any drug interactions with the
prescriptions you're on. You just want to take it willy nilly,
Oh cool. No, do you know what prescriptions you're on.
Mine's a laundry list.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, it says uh Jackie sent me a screenshot. Just
know you're gonna do that that Dwight said, And I said,
I don't know. I don't use to give it to
blood thinners and something else.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, blood thinner is one of the things you should
not be using it.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
But is that just one of the warnings like point
zero zero zero one percent effects or is that not?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Okay, John, this is gonna be difficult. Okay, we knew
this time would come. Okay, Okay, Tony. Yes, I'm not
really a doctor. Okay, I know you. I know you
think that I've got a medical degree. All right, I'm
not your evil step to win either. I don't know.

(02:01):
I don't know if it's because if you're on bloody
it can't be that bad. Well here's what I'm thinking, right,
I don't know, ask your doctor, shake it up, I
shake it up? And how much do I put it
on a whole eye dropper. And by the way, this
is not an advertisement. We have nothing to do. We
have no business that's attached to lion Line. It's not
a company. It is a supplement, I know. But we're
not pitching any Yeah, yeah, okay, So take the entire

(02:24):
eye dropper, the entire one. Yeah, I just squeeze a
whole one out and you put it under your tongue.
One millileater, but put it under your tongue. It's called sublingual.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, I can't do that now, one you can't.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
No, no, and then you don't talk for an hour
and a half.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
All right, folks, welcome in News radio eight forty whas
the Tony and Dwightchio brought you by the Kentucky Office
of Highway Safety. Please buckle up and put the phone down.
Jimmy Kimmel went back to work last night.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Did he address I sure, yeah, the audio of the.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
It was okay, it was not Yeah, it was. I
don't watch the Jimmy Kimmel Show anyway. And I wasn't
going to stay up. I'm not up that late. There's
no way. I don't care what you know, if they
if the Beatles came back to life, and played Wait
a minute, I'd stay up for that. I would too,
Let's stay up for that.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Okay, let's get back to that's come right back. But
I got to chase the squirrel. Yeah, because in the
seventies and the eighties, we would stay up and we
would watch Carson, at least the monologue and maybe the
first guess when it's Burt Reynolds.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Just followed local news far fawcet yep.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
And then in the eighties we would even watch a
little bit of Letterman. It came on at twelve.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Thirty, I don't think so. Was that late?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
It was, Yeah, I came on after Carson.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
How did we do it?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Because now we were twenty.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
But I remember Dad and Mom would watch the late
news and then a little bit of Carson. Well, people
didn't do that.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Well, people doom scroll on their phones till three in
the morning. That's just the same thing. They're just watching something.
Plus it was we were a manufacturing country, right, so
we had a lot of first, second and third shift
people coming into work. They're leaving for work at two,
they're getting off at that time, right, and then the
over the third shift guys would come in and work
the overnight, so there was a lot of people either

(04:06):
going into work or coming off work and they were
watching those shows. So is America would just look different.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
But my mom and dad they had regular hours, morning hours,
and they would stay up they would watch that.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
I just don't see how it was starved for content.
All right, let's get back to j But here's the
thing again, I don't care whether Jimmy Kimmel is on
the air or not. I do not believe this is
a free speech situation. I do not.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I do not.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
If you want to make it into that, that's fine.
I don't believe that is. You know, he said something
that people didn't like and the network pulled him off.
All right, here's where I think the story is. Twenty
five percent of the affiliates, more than twenty five percent,
sixty at sixty cities, said we're not airing it. When

(04:53):
you bring it back. This is the first time that
I have We can look it up. You can use
the Google machine. I don't know another where they pushed
back to the networks. The local affiliates, remember it, pushed
back to the networks and said we're not airing that,
which is here's what My hope is I hope that

(05:15):
they start pushing back more on we're not clearing Did
you call me a moron? No more on? Okay, all right,
that'll be later in the show. Oh okay, I do
have a quota of morons I have to call you, right.
I think I hope that this is something that continues
so we get more. No one wants to watch these

(05:38):
game shows. No one wants to watch these the view
or back in the day, OPRAH had huge numbers. I
guess that would be you'd clear that because it had
huge ratings. But some of these shows, you know, no
one's watching clear those times for local programming.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Okay, So you know why OPRAH was successful because it
wasn't fragmented as much as it is now. Oprah was on,
it was like when did she come on the afternoon?
It wasn't like midday, was the afternoon or something? Okay,
well whatever, whenever time she came on, it was that
and maybe Phil Donna Hue was still out there. There
was only a few of those type shows. Well, here

(06:12):
comes Springer, here comes all these other networks, then here
comes Cable and TBS. Now everybody's got one. But yeah,
going back to it.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I didn't realize that affiliates had the option to say no.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
To the No, they don't, right, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
I thought that if you were an affiliate of ABC, CBS, NBA,
whoever might be. I thought that they dictate, Okay, you
know what, here is where you're gonna pick up our programming,
and we're going to give you these local available slots
where you can fill. Of course there's gonna be morning
news and evening news and something else. I thought that

(06:51):
the network dictated to the affiliate, here's what you're going
to run. I didn't realize it could be done that way.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
No, I think they are again. I think they they're
feeling their oats. Is that one term feeling your oath,
eating your oats?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I think it's holl And oats. Actually think.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
He's feeling his oats, sewing your oats. So you are
you can also sew your oats. You can feel your
oats and you can eat.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Your where sewing oats came from, right, No, the Bible
back in olden times, old when you would.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Harvest your back John, grab a nice tea and enjoy
the olden times story.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
So back during old and olden times which had some
olden timey music right when you were.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
That's that's after prehistoric and and in before contemporary.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
That's exactly it. You paid attention. So in olden times
when you were harvesting your oats, every once in a
while a big oat would rip, so then the town's
women folk would have to sew it back together. And
you're so stupid, so they would they were bringing it
to all the lady folks. They say, all right, lady folks,
because you show our oats.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
And they would put feeling your oats, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
That's something totally.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
I don't want to stay on that, but I think
the affiliates are feeling their oats.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
I think filling your oats came from Barbara Oates. Your
oats is an idiom meaning to feel energetic, enthusiastic, lively,
or self important.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Thank you boom. That's what the local affiliates are feeling.
And I hope it continues to push back. I've yelled
about that on a smaller level for university's athletic departments,
pushing back on the on the leagues that they're in,
on what time they play. I think they need to
push back if you're not gonna make the football local
football team the focused game at seven point thirty and

(08:42):
put it on TV. Then they should be able to
play whenever they want. No one wants a noon start
on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Like Tony and Dwight John Alden's Super Fantastic Fun Hour. Yeah,
and we could show people like we could do things
like this. Today, we're going to show you how to
make a bird feeder of a pine column, peanut butter
and a bird feeder.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
How did you think Peewee's Big House Fun Adventure whatever
the hell was called? How did you think that pitch happened?

Speaker 2 (09:13):
You think he made that noise in the movie theater.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
We're gonna have one guy dressed up as a cow.
He's going to be an awkward dude in a terrible
tight suit on the bow tie.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
There's a talking chair.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Who did they pitch that? A network went, I think
this will work?

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Hey, before I pitched this, could everyone eat these mushrooms? Okay?
So then the talking chair is my best friend talking cherry?
You say, I might.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
I might have worked at a radio station where the
sales staff had a contest where they consumed allucinogenic mushrooms
and then went out and sold, and then whoever came
back with the most money won a prize.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Wow, it's pretty impressive.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
I might that might it might allegedly have happened.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Did you allegedly win?

Speaker 1 (09:59):
No A sales team? Sales?

Speaker 2 (10:03):
That was one of the few times programming got to
sit back and watch.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Usually it's quite the opposite.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
And I still I can't believe I remember this. It
was thirty years ago. I still remember who won. I mean,
if it happened, I mean, if it happened, if it happened,
all right, So I hope this this is a sort
of a moment to where finally because affiliates have talked
about it before, to whether they're like, you could get
an app right for LKY or WHS or wave you

(10:32):
could get that app if they break off of the
carry the National News right it's six thirty or no,
the National News not bad. It's not bad. I mean
it's it's not awful, but they do I do watch it,
carry the National News and maybe another show. But say
we're doing we're doing our own thing to survive. I

(10:54):
agree to survive.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
I agree, and I think about some of the stuff
that they what Again, though, it's apples and oranges. To
compare when we came up in television, because there was
only three networks at one time, and then PBS obviously
and k E T and then Fox came along and
there's four. But it's it's apples and oranges because there's
so many platforms and it's so fragmented.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Thank god for PBS, or how will we have figured
out how Congress passed laws?

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Saturday Morning cartoons had it.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
I'm just a beer, That's what I'm talking about it.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
But they moved to regular cartoons too.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Okay, you know, robots are going to take a lot
of jobs.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Oh did you read the AI article? I know, no, what,
there's a book that's coming out this I deleted the story.
I pulled it and then deleted. It was where two
scientists are saying, look, AI is going to kill everybody.
It's basically the book, and it was it was pretty interesting.

(11:56):
But these two sides as saying, you know, you can't
unscramble eggs.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
What are we doing?

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Was one of the scientists, Tom Cruise. No, but he
is a great scienist. Okay, what a talented guy. Very
you know, he went to DAWs and he stayed here
in Louisville for a few years, and he went to DAWs.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
I believe that, Yeah, yes, we're ignoring the AI threat,
but freaking out if somebody buys a big truck and
drives around a lot, it's so we're humans, We're so stupid.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
All right.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
So Robot's going to take a lot of jobs. If
you didn't see the Major League.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Baseball oh, I saw this too.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Is going to go to that Tennis does it? Now?
Here's my fear. We're going to find out whether the
umpires are wrong a lot or they do a pretty
good job. I don't watch enough baseball, but I think
I think it could be that the umpires get it
wrong a lot. Do you watch baseball John william Alden throw.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
I did a lot growing up, but I haven't watched
it regularly in a long time.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
And will this slow the game down?

Speaker 2 (13:00):
That's where I was. That was my last comment was, Wow,
I hope this doesn't make the game of baseball.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Long because they they improved the game when they put
the picture on a on a clock and said, look,
you can't stand up there and and uh, you know, grandstand.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
What oh the batter too.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
I'm sorry the battery.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, John too on. Ken Caminetti steps out.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
I love Ken Cameranetti steps out of.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
The box, hits one cleat with the bat.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
His brother was way better, Jim Camanetti.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Now, kid Cabinetti is adjusting his helmet as he spits
to the ground. Now he's grabbing another region as he
tightens his gloves, swings his bat comes up. Kind goes
to oh it too on Caminetti. As he steps back
out the box.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
He does the handout. He does the hand up and
steps out. You've got to be kidding, all right, so
robot umpire. So they're gonna have that little screen. I
have that little thing and in the if the ball
is touching any part of the rectangle, then then it's
a it's in the it's in the box.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
So here's what I gleaned from the article. And I
didn't do this one either. There's going to kind of
be like an instant replay for football. They're gonna have that.
And if this, you know, if it's called a strike
and the batter things no no, no, no, no, that was
foul ball, they have two times they can call on

(14:20):
that to be put on the big screen.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
So it's a it's kind of like an instant replay
that you it's like challenging a play in football. You
have you only have two of them.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
No, I thought I thought that they could call for
it at any time. They have to tap the top
of their head, tap the top of the head. But
they have promised that it will take fifteen seconds for
this to go down. Do we believe that is going
to be true?

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Oh yeah, absolutely, Well, if you watch sports, they have
that instant replay within seconds.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Hang on, we're confirming now that Schoolhouse Rock was on ABC,
not PBS. That's how we learned.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Teams will be allowed to challenges per game. Oh okay,
only hitters and pictures and catchers. Who only hitters, pictures
and catchers. So there's three players that are able to
call for this, and yeah, they do it by tapping
their head as a challenge.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
But are managers no going, are managers gonna say you
have to look at the dugout and you better be
right because we might need this late late in the game.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
You know what I would do? So if it's you know,
gets caught a strike, I don't agree. I'd hit my head.
They review it and go no, that was a strike,
and I would do it again and use up both
of them. Are you sure, let's look at it again,
just to aggravate my team. I don't know if you
all know this, but I like to aggravate team members.

(15:46):
I've never disclosed that to either of you.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
All.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
That's good to know. I'll write that one day, I
write that down.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Is this bothering you? Is this bothering you? Is this
bothering you? Is this bothering you? Is this bothering you?

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (15:58):
All right, So we're just getting going here. On a Wednesday.
We have Wednesday's Hero in about an hour, so stick
around for that. It's one of our favorite segments we do.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
We also have Philip Perkins from Future of Fighting and
Area five O two coming in talk about lots of stuff,
and we have Matt Sanders joining us. Oh awesome, Sergeant
Matt Sanders. All right, all right, so tried state Man's guys.
It is hump day? Or or is it hump day?
How's your little guy doing? Is he starting to show

(16:28):
signs of wear and tear? I'm talking about ED. I
don't care if you suffer from ED full on, or
maybe you're just starting to show signs. Let's get it corrected,
and let's do it with the best. The best is
Try State Men's Health. They have a ninety percent success
rate in treating ED and they make it risk free.
Get your lab work done with them. It's ninety nine dollars.

(16:48):
You'll sit down with a licensed medical professional within thirty
minutes and go over all of your numbers. They'll go
explain everything to you. Here's the risk free part. Then
they give you a TESTO. So if that testos doesn't work,
your ninety nine dollars were funded immediately. But chances are
it is going to work because they have a ninety
percent success rate. Guys, get your confidence back, get your

(17:10):
love life back, get back in the bedroom with tri statemns.
Go to Try statements Health dot com.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Thoughts and prayers go out to the family of John Aubrey.
Use your sheriff for the last twenty seven years. He
passed away at the age of eighty six. He served
our the city of Louisville for twenty seven years.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Watch you fifty twenty seven in that office. But I
think with all of his combined law enforcement, I'll have
to look at I think the guy worked fifty years
that is all.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
That's awesome, and thoughts and prayers to his family and
if you know him, reach out. All right back after

an ICE facility in Dallas this morning. An ICE spokesman

(17:56):

and ICE spokesman told NBC News no ICE officers were hurt.
The suspected shooter is dead from a self inflected gunshot wound.
Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noams said no one posted on

good morning, Philip, how are you doing, man?

Speaker 3 (18:48):
I'm great? How you guys?

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Good to see. Let's talk about the fights Friday night.
If you haven't been down to one of these fights
Future of Fighting, it's this Friday night at four Street Live,
and man, it's a ball. It's a blast. Great fights too,
by the.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
Way, Yeah, always great match fights. We got local guys,
guys from the region. We try to bring in the
best guys. We're trying to be a feeder show for
guys to get to the next level, so we try
to put on a real good production.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Here.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
It's a heck of a production. And you guys start
sitting up down here really early. What can people How
do people get tickets for this? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Future of Fighting dot Com has the tickets and the
pay per view and we're Louisville's only homegrown MMA promotions,
So we need all the MMA fans, all the UFC fans,
everybody that watches UFC on TV to come down and
support your local fighters and watch these guys on their
way to that level.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
What Horsehery Live is the best, It's the best for
this event.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
It's a great venue.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
You should do it more. You should do it more often.
Will you do it once a cool.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Twice a year, twice a year? Okay, Yeah, it's just
hard because it gets cold. We can't do it in
the winter.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
So right, if they listen to the Tony and Dwight
Show and just put put walls on either side that
could heat this darn and making a casino.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
Yes, well, we got a couple events lined up when
they do.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
So, okay, we're ready to go.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Let's talk about some of the fights we have going
down Friday night here at four Street. Because I was
at the one in May I just tore my achilles tended.
But there's somebody from the crowd snapped a picture of
me standing up on one leg, both crutches in the air,
celebrating at the after. Such a great picture. Yeah, but

(20:25):
what fights are you looking forward to the most this weekend?

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (20:29):
Our main event is Kevin Barberina versus Jimmy Sandlin, two
very experienced professionals. Both these guys got well over ten
professional I think both over fifteen professional fights, so a
very experienced main event. And then the co main event
is Blake Alve. He's a local guy that trains with
me at Area five ZHO two. He's a firefighter here locally.

(20:49):
He's seven and three and he's got his opponent's coming
down from Indianapolis. He's an undefeated guy Max Peters and
a very tough opponent for Blake, which is what we're
looking for as he moves into his professional career.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Uh, how do we get VIP.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Same way futurefighting dot Com. It's got all the options
right there, and we have some really cool seats. Four
Street is to me the best venue in the city
and maybe even in the region for fights. And you
got VIP tables all around the top where you can
get a bird's eye view. You got cage side options,
you got other options that are on the ground but
a few feet back, reserve seating if you want a

(21:25):
good place to sit close to the cage, but you
don't need a VIP table. All kinds of options for everybody.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Yeah, but once you go vi P. I was cage
side for the fight in what was May or June May.
Once you get a group of friends and you buy
a cage side or up top VIP table, it's hard
to go back. Yeah, it's kind of hard to pretty sweet,
it's like going first class.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
It's hard to go back to coach. You know.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
It's when when you're sitting that close that you can hear,
you know, you can hear the sound punches, and then
someone gets knocked out and you hear the whole place
go crazy in the sound in here is in saying
it's just a cool feeling that gives you chills.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
And yeah, there's different sounding punches, yeah right, Okay, to
the body is a different sound than than to a
jaw or but you can hear it if you're turning
it like you you're trained, so if you're turned around,
you know exactly what happened when you hear it a lot.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Of times, Yeah, you can. You can make an educated guess.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Right, all right, hang on, hang on, because I feel
like I'm in a time machine. You've decided to go
with a mullet. Look okay, Okay, I'm saying you're pulling off. Yeah,
I think it looks good on you.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
I'm working my way to a tail. Okay, I'm gonna
work my way to a rat tail. I'm going full Kentucky.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Oh man, if you're gonna grow it out, because right
now it's just about on your collar back there, but
it is. It's a full on mullet, but it's not
that long. It looks good on you.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Once you've been here over twenty years, you can form
one hundred percent. You drive a truck, you have a
mullet and in the rat.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
So you're going straight to Kentucky water her fall right now.
I want a little style, but mullets.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Are in now. It's true.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
When we watch a lot of college wrestling and all that,
it's everywhere. All the wrestling kids have a mullets.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
So we go we grow hairy Indy. They have a
stylist there and Darry goes, hey, mate, you should get
your hair cut. Well here, I guess you want me
get haircut. I went back and she goes, what are
your No, it sounds just like Darren.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
It does not because he's a Kiwi. He's not Australian Tony.
This is a Keywi. All right, stop please embarrassing yourself.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
I mean, notice how Dwight so much better looking and
you didn't consider doing uh?

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Were you going to consider doing this?

Speaker 3 (23:40):
You know?

Speaker 2 (23:41):
When she asked me, she said what style do you want?
I think you look good? Said, are you goofing on me?
She goes, no, no, No, mullets are back in now. Yeah,
that's true, let's go back. Philip Perkins from Area five,
Oh too, and more importantly this weekend future of fighting
right here at four Street Live. Let's talk about your
times as a because you fought as well the night

(24:04):
or the day of a fight. Take me through that.
What's the preparation, what's the nerves like, and how especially
on a new fighter, I can't imagine the nerves of
your first fight in a venue like this. How do
you tap the nerves down and how do you keep
them focused once they get in the cage.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
Yeah, you hope that they've put in the work and
the training in the gym, and then once they get
into their muscle memory kind of kicks in. But yeah,
there's a lot of nerves to it, you know, the
day of it. Normally for me used to kick in
about an hour before the fight actually started. Once I
started to actually warm up and take my hands, it
would really start to kick in the nerves and hit

(24:43):
you like hey, it's about to happen. But you learn,
of course, a lot of the fights physical, but a
lot of it's mental to just learning how to realize
your opponent has the same exact feelings and once you
get in there that all that's going to go away
and you just do what you came to do.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
When I played, I think they said ninety percent of
men the reason they don't get into fights is because
they don't want to be knocked They don't want the
visual of them being knocked out right, being out cold,
and that's is that popping through your head or you're
just going through how you're gonna take this guy from
the second one?

Speaker 4 (25:15):
Yeah, for me personally, I never thought about that before
a fight. I mean, a few bad scenarios might pop
in my head, but I was more thinking about my
waist of victory right and positive thoughts.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
You know, Mike Tyson said, everybody's got a plan to
get punched in the mouth, paraphrasing. That's a fact. Though
once you get in that ring, you might have you know,
you put in the training, you watch film, whatever it
might be. But that's a fact and you got to adjust, right.
How difficult is that for a fighter?

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Yeah, there's a lot of different scenarios such as you
get hit and you get rocked and you're a little
bit off for the rest of the fight, or when
you're on the ground doing jiu jitsu or wrestling and
now somebody can punch you, and a lot of things
change as well.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
So it might be stupid to have a stupid person here.
He goes, Well, what about like of that week or
that day, is there something special that you recommend eating,
you know, for you know, runners have car they have
to carve up for races, and I would imagine there's
something that's.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
The way they do. Not do that.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
I've been carving up for years in case they ever running. Really,
but seriously, is there some things that recommended foods recommended
before a fight that lay on the stomach? I mean,
you wouldn't want to eat something spicy?

Speaker 4 (26:24):
No, No, we recommend that they wait until after the
fight to indulge. And yeah, they'll normally after the weigh ins,
they'll rehydrate, then they'll take different you know, like pedialyte
stuff to get those nutrients back in their body, and
then they'll slowly start They do this slowly too, so
it slowly introduces into their body. Then they'll start to eat.

(26:45):
The night of weigh ins and fight day, they eat
the same diet basically that they eat all through camp.
That way, nothing nothing to AGO's. They'll add a little
bit of carbs or some different things that they need
that they couldn't get but they eat similar to what
they've eaten through the camp, so their body doesn't have
to adjust.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
To When John was a young wrestler, I used to
give him a half of the mini snickers, right, yeah,
so I gave him and he was gonna go wrestle
this kid, he had no business beating. And I took
the snicker out of his back and he was looking
for it and he was panicking. He was panicking. He
was panicking, And I said, son, somebody told me that
the kid took the Snickers out of your back.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Oh man, what a jerk.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
You was what match? By the way, yeah, no, he
wasn't a match.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
He could have got his head. I don't know if
you know this, but some people in sports are superstitious.
So everybody in sports, did you have a superstition when
you were fighting?

Speaker 1 (27:36):
No?

Speaker 3 (27:36):
No, nothing crazy.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Let's talk about the new gym before we get out
of here. Philip Perkins Area of five O two is
the gym future of fighting. His name of the promotion team.
But listen, this new gym is absolutely fantastic Breckenridge Lane.
I was out there last week for the grand opening.
I think that this could be so beneficial for the
youth of Louisville, Kentucky and surrounding areas, because it really

(27:59):
does get them a sense of pride and discipline. Talk
about some of the programs you run out of the
gym and how it could benefit kids. Grades go up.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Oh yeah, yeah, greates go up. Man, grades go up.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
Of course, we teach discipline and really just being around
a good community. Like I told you to me, there's
a lot of things we teach, but one of the
most important things just being around a good, positive community
that helps push the kids. We've of course had youth programs.
We've been open for thirteen years. We've had youth programs
for years, but we just started a homeschool program as well,
So we have homeschool kids come in at eleven am

(28:33):
through the week and train with us. So we're really
able to help all types of youth, adults, and a
lot of different people reach their goals through martial arts
and fitness.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
I love that there's a homeschool section where because that
is the one thing that kids missed with homeschool is
a little bit of socialization. Now they have it through
Area five O two.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Yeah, and and then honestly, it was a surprise. They
were amazing, not that I thought they weren't, but it
was a whole group of kids that had never done
jiu jitsu before, and then when I brought them in
they did. They were incredible. They listen, they learned, they
pick up fast. They're learning, not just the techniques, but
they're learning how to, you know, push through things and
be tough and learn a lot of valuable lessons.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
So Martial Arts this event here at four Street Lives.
So are more women coming to these things? What's the
demographic usually of the people that go to see mma,
Guys in their twenties, guys in their thirties, or is
the whole gamut? And are more women enjoying the sport?

Speaker 4 (29:27):
I would say a lot more women are enjoying the sport,
a lot more women are competing in the sport, a
lot more families are watching the sport with the kids training.
I think the numbers that we were just looking at,
it's probably.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
A good guest.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Sixty five thirty five, I think would be a pretty
good guess.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
Yeah, it's it's a great thing. Our jiu jitsu class,
we've had up to nine or ten women in our
jiu jitsu class. It's unheard of. That's not just a
regular class. You don't go to most places and see one, two,
three women. We have ten sometimes almost every night, so
all have five six women. It's it's with everybody, women, kids,

(30:02):
it's it's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
I want to plug the fight. I want to plug
the gym one more time. But first I want to
publicly thank you because getting ready for the school year,
my wife and I on our own, we just put
together a backpack drive to go out to different places
and uh, we would just show up you through your gym.
Showed up with so many backpacks the week we couldn't

(30:27):
get them all in the into the jeep. I want
to thank you for that donation because that meant so
much to this community.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
Yeah, it's the least I can do. We've been giving
back to the community for a long time. It's very
important to me. We do back to school drive every year.
We do Santa Claus in the boxing ring every year.
We do five hundred and two Easter eggs on Easter.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Every year.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
We do a lot for the kids in the community,
kind of behind closed doors. We just do a lot
because it's important.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
The radar.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yeah. Yeah, that's just it's easier.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
For me that way, and it's working for me, and
we're able to help a lot of people, So I'm
good with that.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah, no worries.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Does the Grinch show up and Santa's in there and
Santa has to do a drop kick?

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Oh man, that's a fight, baby. That's what we should
do for the kids. A fight between Santa Claus and
the Grinch.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Yeah, only if you're the Grinch.
