all right, Linda, how are you all doing? And Aaron

in the middle.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
At actually, real quick, what was your role other than

Every time I cried, yes, Aaron down off the ledge. Yes,
And every time I take George Austin for half of them. Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 1 (01:13):
This is a radio reunion. We posted a couple of
days ago and people the reaction was pretty cool. You
still the people love the old show. Tell uh, you
know what, when's the last What was the last show?
What year was that?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
June of twenty eleven?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Twenty Oh my.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Gosh, I did pop by on your last day. So
the three of us were ten years together. The last Lambert,
Lindsay and Aaron show was about ten years ago. But
I was stopped being on every day fifteen years ago.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yeah, and then we were on another four years before
George moved to Houston.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
How did that?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
How did she that?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, we'll get into that.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
She cheered against any Houston team for.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Where.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I don't even know that where that is.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
A reunions these guys, How did you know? When did
you all get hooked up? And when did you know
that this was going to work and it was going
to be something special?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I went to when I came back, so I was
on the one O two point three signal with Lisa Mitchell.
It was Lisa and Lindsay. Oh right back in the day,
right they sold When deregulation happened, I went to work
for w LKY and was over there for like two years. Anyway,
new company bought the signal and they came back and
(02:30):
they said, hey, we did research and you came back
looking pretty good. We'd like to see if you're interested
in coming back and doing a radio I said sure.
I had heard Linda on one O six nine and
she was on with a guy named Jeff and they
had a great show, and Jeff left and went to Texas.
(02:51):
What is it with you Texas?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
And he wanted me to go with him, and I'm like, dude,
I just left the West Coast like three years ago.
I ain't going back.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
So I liked what she did. I showed up at
a live broadcast that she was doing.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Yeah, this was just this. Should I should have known
this was?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
You stalked her crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I walked up in the middle of the of the
you know, after she got through with doing an on
air break, and I said, hey, my name is George
Lindsay and I want you to work with me. And
she was like, who the heck?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
This is tall good.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I mean honestly, that was pretty much our our interaction.
And she started calling people and was like who the
heck is and.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I had a non compete. Oh nice, And it was
not over.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
It was not over.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Still like a year ago.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
We figured it out and got together in September of
ninety nine, and when Linda came in, she's like, hey,
the guy who does traffic for US Airborne erin. It
was Captain Krash, She did like eighteen for radioations. I said,
(04:02):
Aaron is somebody that that we should we should bring
on the show, And so it was it was Linda's
suggestion that got Aaron in. So went and talked to Aaron,
and you had a no compete, right. Did they give
you trouble about coming to work?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Yeah, I caught a little bit of grief, but they
let me go.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah, same here. They let me go to after a
couple of months or a couple of weeks really.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
So yeah, So the Lambert and Lindsay show came together
in all three of us in like October of ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Lambert Lindsay reunion going on right now. And Aaron you
had mentioned that you were a peacekeeper on the show. Tony,
we've worked together for thirty one years, I know. So
there's a relationship there and there are arguments and stuff
like that, but for the most part we get along.
I think it's because after the show he goes his
way and I go mine, and we rarely talk. What
(04:55):
was what was it? I'm serious though.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
We got good advice from a programmer once. It said,
if you all do the same, if you all hang
out and do the same experiences, you're gonna bring nothing
to the show.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
You gotta do.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
He does his thing, I do mine. We text every
once in a while, but in reality, we don't. We
don't hang out out.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Here's the thing with us. We all had very different
personal lives which allowed us to bring experiences. I mean,
I went through a divorce, I went through breast cancer
and remarrying and all of that on the air, much
to my husband Thurston's dismay. By the way, he said,
(05:34):
he wants nil money if we bring his name up
on the show.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
You're the one.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
So.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
But the other cool thing is we would come down
here for lunch because the studio was on four Street
next to the Sealback, and we would be over here
at four Street live for lunch lots of times, and
listeners would come up and say, wow, you guys really
do like each other and hang out together. And we
did it. We genuinely had fun. I mean, I have
(06:04):
so many memories of laughing so hard that I literally
almost peed my pants, and probably today I would.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, and that that comes over on the air. You
can't fake that. You don't fake that. That is has
to be organic and it has to work because the
listener knows if you're faking the fun, and you guys
certainly did. That was the misnomer that you was in
a missed over was that everyone's, oh, that's the soccer
Mom show. I think that is probably false, but you
(06:34):
tell me.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Here's We always said that if if our if our
ratings numbers had been men, we would have been much
more successful business wise because we were predominantly women. But
that was the target. And what wound up working out
for us is that just about everybody and this sounds
(06:58):
like a brag, but it's not. But just the everybody
that worked in the advertising agencies are what women women, Yes,
and and they listened to the show and they were
invested in the show, and that as we've talked about
before last time I was here, it's it's about the money, yeah,
of course.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, And when when it gets into uh, women being
the target, and by the way, that's that's one of
the main targets. This person's twenty five fifty four women
twenty five to fifty four. But you all would work
slightly blue and you would push the envelope.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Well, we walked after that line every day.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You would.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
We got in trouble four.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
No, it's cute.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
They here's the thing I'll give.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I'll give so much of the credit of that too,
because Linda, Linda has in real life a little bit
of a blue humor kind of side to it.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Aaron was usually the guy that would go, you know,
maybe take it. Wow, that came up with. So we
came up with the term flipping pancakes, okay, which Schmidt, Yeah, adult.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Special Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Our speaking our was flipping pancakes. And we had so
many parents that would say, my kids love it when
you all talk about pancakes.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Aaron came up with that, and you were the one.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
What's funny is I don't remember half. We were texting
about coming on here and like bits and they're talking
about bits and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Did we do that?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Like a decade younger than we are.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
What is wrong?
Speaker 5 (08:33):
I don't remember most of it?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, I want to delve into your sex life off
the air flipping pancakes. I don't know what kind of
moves you're doing.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
I don't even.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Here it makes sense. The other time is Aaron was
single man when we started together on the show together
and we went through all of that.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
I got married, I got I have two kids. I
think Charlie was born right before, about a year before
I Love.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
The Show left the show.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
And when we first started together in ninety nine, he
was single, living in an apartment and driving.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
A Dodge Neon Dodge Dodge Neon Dodge Neon, and we're like, dude,
you have got to get a different car.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
You are never going to get a date.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
What happened, I got another car and you got a date. Yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
It worked out.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
It worked okay.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
So let's talk about some of the shows that you did,
live shows regardless, and some of your favorite shows that
popped your head and said, you know, that was.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
A good day.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, Linda, anything pop up in your head that was
like that was a good day, that was a good show. Uh,
you know, you did a good job if you got
us from the you know, I was doing sports or
rock whatever it was we were doing, but we listened.
It was a great show.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I mean, there's so many and I'm kind of like Aaron,
now you forget things.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Obviously the deal with the cat in the basket. I
thought that was the stupidest idea.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Elaborate on, elaborate on this.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
All right, okay, all right, so it's Georgia.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I don't know if Georgia story.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Did you do? You have the sound? No, that's fine,
that's that's fine. So here's here's what happened. We decided
we were going to do you guys.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Know, kathak a time out, ye see, Aaron, instead of
flipping pancakes, cat in the basket? Might I'm sorry? Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
So we had an idea that it was National Science
Week and we were going to do an experiment in
which we put auto answer cell phone in a basket,
connected helium balloons to the basket, floated it over the
city and we would see where it took the GPS
on it, we'd see where. And that was going to be.
(10:48):
That was for Aaron's cousin. That was going to do
a science probit.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It was Science Week, didn't.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
And so Aaron Miller and Tommy Lee, God rest his soul,
he's a producer.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Afternoon guy.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, And he and Aaron went out in the back
alley behind the radio station and they're acting out, Okay,
we got the basket and get it, get the cat
out of here. Why is the cat always well, it's
the cat's basket, all this kind.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Of yes, I know that.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Here's here's what happened. So the the balloon goes up
and they're like, where's the cat. Oh my god, the
cat jumped in the basket and it's too high. We
can't get it. Dwight Tony, I swear to you we
tracked that imaginary basket.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Aaron and I went out.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
For two hours. People called the show. I think I
see it over the Cherokee Park area. Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
People played along, but I think you probably a lot
of you know listeners. They're like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
There's a cat in a basket. Here's the danger. Here
was here was the thing that sent it over the edge.
And Aaron always said, you're an evil, freaking genius for
doing it. I was like, the phone is auto answer.
Maybe we should call the phone and see if the
cat is.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Okay, So we dial.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Phones don't answer themselves right right the basket And then
you could hear like we had George mixed together like
wind noise, uh, traffic noise and a cat going and.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
And I are out in the field with the BB
his BB gun. So I almost got divorced over this.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
By the way, I'm telling you that the pitiful cat
sound was the thing that took it to the next level.
Here's the thing. Everybody, it was on the new Wave
three w h A suspended for it.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
We got suspended, suspended. People thought it was real.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
And when people got just as mad over the fact
that we got suspended as they did over the fact
that we a cat in a basket and send it
up in a.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Year, I'm convinced there are people listening to the show
right now that think that we killed a cat.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Serious, but that is old schoolchool, your school. You know. Look,
because the radio station goes, look you need you guys
need to promote the station and your show. How much
money do I have? Zero?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Zero?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Figure it out. So you have to come up with
the ideas that go like that, you know, like the
okof days have saved the joke of the day. And
it was and they literally thought the joke today was gone.
And they and they, you know, fifteen hundred people showed
up to save the joke of the day. That was
free kind of organic things that you did. And when
it starts to go, you gotta go with it. And
(13:41):
really thank whoever suspended you. You got to go in
that office, thank you, thank you for suspending us.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
We all three said that launched our show to a
different level.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
It did. Yeah, as stupid as it was, as stupid,
as stupid as it was, we're going to keep you
for another break till the top of the hour, but
we're gonna we got time for the joke of the day.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
George lindsay, do you have a joke?
Speaker 3 (14:03):

Lambert Lindsay and Aaron Miller News Radio eight forty WHAS.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
So you guys flipped coin. It was Lambert Lindsay, Lindsay
and Lambert Lambert. How did that work out? Yeah? Yeah,
welcome back News Radio eight forty w h AS. It's
radio Reunion time, one of the most favorite and beloved
morning shows of all time.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You say that.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Up at home thinking and that what accurred for union
This is this say nobody.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Can understand a word you're saying with your lips pressed
so firmly against their asses. Lambert Lindsay Aaron Miller on
the studio with us this morning, rehashing the Labort, the
first time you all three been together since.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Air on the air since twenty eleven.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Wow, oh wow wow.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
And we discussed it in the break and they went, yeah, no,
damn way, We're going to do a showgaint the way
right now.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Again, this isn't abne Well, there is a way, but
it would involve so much money.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, three of you are your on air this morning.
You haven't missed a beat. The chemistry is there. That's
something that you can't fake. Because Tony and I we
have great chemistry. We know where each one's going. So
it's it's just it's amazing the way you haven't missed
a beat. You know.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
It's interesting because I always tell people that what we had,
the chemistry we had on the show was real and
and is real, and it's something that you don't understand
unless you've ever been part of a team, whether it's
sports team whatever. But if you have that team chemistry, yep,
and you have everybody that that has a role and
(17:34):
knows the role, and it's magic. And you talked about
it earlier Tony, we there were days that you know,
we would get done with the show and it would
just be like that was it.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
That's why we do it stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
That's because one of the and I want to catch
up a little bit for everybody with Lyndon Aaron, because
what other business can you be in that is creative,
make an impact in your community and it's fun. And
I think that's why all the former radio people always
(18:09):
are drawn back to it because you want that again,
you want that feeling again.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
What did you learn from her?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
From Linda? Just how you can trust Because I've had
a lot of radio partners, and this is no slam
against them, but I never trusted a partner like I
trusted her.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I know what you're saying. I've never trusted him.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Trust me.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I actually stepped. I actually stepped on his question. He
was actually had he come up with Lambert Lindsay who
determined top billing? Was there any friction there?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
It's a very simple answer, and it goes to the
heart of who George is. Okay, he is a gentleman
and ladies, first, oh, look at you, dude, that's what
he told me. I mean I didn't care. I really didn't, right,
and he said it just sounded better.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
But lady start see I didn't care either about thought, Hey,
Madonna over here might get upset if you come seconds.
So we'll go ahead and let him.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
All right, Captain Crash, What did you leave from these
two in the radio bize?
Speaker 5 (19:08):
So I learned from Linda how to take a three
minute story and make it eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
You can go on, remember.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
No but seriousness that these two are amazing storytellers. And
if there's anything I learned, I learned so much stuff.
I consider these two family and they have been mentors
in my life, and I've learned so much that I've
taken on in my career since then. But storytelling, these
two can tell a story and make it personal and
make it real and make it hilarious. Uh, in a
way that I learned a lot from.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
You said that their family, Manson had a family just.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
You know, actually, but.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
You love you love Georgia, Yes, absolutely, always will and
and it's just like a family. We always had our
ups and downs, but at the end of the day,
we always loved each other and supported each other. And
from George I learned well. First of all, I learned,
if you still steal something from us, you've stolen it twice.
(20:20):
And it took us a long time to figure him out.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
But I do a joke of the day on our
show when we come back. By the way, I just
want you to know that.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
I learned from George how to be how to be
better with your creativity. I learned what it means to
be part of a team and to support one another.
And I watched him. He was always in management, so
not only was he our partner, he was our boss. Technically,
but he did that with with grace most of the time.
(20:52):
And then from from Aaron. From Aaron, I learned it's
so much more about writing. He's such a great writer.
And I have always loved to write and thought I
was good until I met him. The way he could
just take a story and put it to paper, and
(21:13):
his technical skills were far beyond and still are far
beyond mind. Maybe not Georgia's, but he used to get
so mad at me when I would have a technical
problem and he was like, I'm not your personal tech support,
but he always helped.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
So listen, Starting out a show is not easy. When
and when Tony and I started together in the mornings,
we had to take over for Stern you recall us,
we hate your guns, and they got to rebuild, and
then then we took over for Leland Conway. We hate you,
You're not our real show. But then we we built
the show. So starting out is not easy to begin with.
(21:49):
But you started out, you get this team together, George Lindsay,
one year into it, they're gonna fire you.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah, they decided that Love one O two, you old
love song stopped. Wait wait, we only stopped the music
once inside the more music.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Out, I just got a shiver.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I'm guying to hear the phrase the page. But you
get you get the team together. You're in, are you?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Yeah? And actually that was probably the critical point of
the show because the format that we were playing of
music did not match the show, right yea. And I
told them, I said, the music's got to change or
you do have to fire me. And again it was me,
(22:43):
not those two because and and uh and they chose
to change the music and.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And then there is and then you started to just
go around the community and that was that was huge.
That was big. That did do the Derby stuff, not
just the Derby but the festival stuff and going out
to do cancer research events and all that stuff. You
guys kind of as a team went out and did that.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
We did two things that I think were really instrumental
in that number. One. We always had the phrase that
the show needs to be bigger than the signal because
we were on a three thousand, what.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Which was crippling at times, Yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Before the internet.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
In number we finished number one on a three thousand,
and that was the thing from the beginning. We got
to be bigger than the signal and the other thing
was and this took a little convincing, especially for Linda
when she would go to the country club.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Stop it. Let's see.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
You can see in martini in her hand right now.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
You can't. But we early on we said we're all free,
gonna do a remote or appearance and will split that
fee three ways. I mean we we were doing appearances
for like one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You were, but you were everywhere.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
We were all together, and and it worked out because
every people loved. I tell people all of this, I've
never seen an audience react to a personality the way
they reacted to Linda. No love, loved, loved lambort.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well I don't know why my family
doesn't understand it any but it was unique.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Again, women, you know, women in radio, either you or
the only I won't say only. She was the strongest
personality on the radio for years and years in this
I agree.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
And then the people, Aaron, anybody you all interviewed that
you all liked.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
I still remember this was not too long before I
left the show, that there was this comedian we'd never
heard on it, you know, and did you guy? Probably
also the comedian of the week.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Absolute it was ever at the Comedy Caravan.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, most of them were not very good.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Kevin Hart, Oh yeah, yeah, this guy no clue.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I mean we didn't know who he.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Met her laughed that hard in my life, and then
flash forward a year or two, we're like, oh, that's
a dude that was on the show, and now he's yeah,
that was a star.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Now it's huge. Did you so? One of the things
if your morning radio and everybody here has been in
morning radio, when Derby comes around, they have your broadcast
from the backside two weeks before the damn it it
was someone not in this Derby week. Did it get
on your nerves being back there for that even a week?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Well back then people actually went he looked forward to that.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Did you really my favorite time of the year.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Absolutely, man, I just saw this an extra hour you
had to get up.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
We stopped doing it on the Sports show because at
the beginning it would be like, oh, there's Lint Swan
and then there's any and then all of a sudden
and then it started to dwindle and I was like,
no one's here.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Hey, I played guy next to table on MAUD Would
you like me?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
And by the way, yes, and by the way, the
worst interview him and I did ever ever did, was
talk into interviewing Ojason. It was the biggest regret of
our careers. It was that bad. Uh. But you guys, again,
there's a support staff for a show like that. Is
there anybody you want to mention that that was at
the station that you want to say thanks for?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
I want to give a shout out to Jesse Rafsmussen.
He replaced Aaron was on the show with Lindon and
I for about four years. And you know, nothing against
Aaron because I still called him every day. We I
mean when I was here, we went to lunch every
day every day. But Jesse really added a different and
(26:54):
a younger kind of feel to the show when he
came on, and I was thinking about all the interns
that we had. We put our interns like on the show.
You know, it's like, Okay, here's you. You're going to
be part of this from the beginning.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You're not there is yours?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Yeah, And I mean we have people that are business successes.
P R Media.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
One of our interns, she was with us and then
we actually hired her as a part timer. Part timer Jenny.
She's now like director of marketing for Shady Jenny Howard.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Yeah, Jenny Goodman. Then now she's Jenny, She's like my
third daughter.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
J Howard family.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Jenny Howard left me at the Altar just.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
You know, real quick, let's let's give a little shout
out because we gave Aaron a lot of grief when
he left the show, obviously, but we said everybody would
ask what happened to Aaron, and we always told him
he went to work for Light Up Louisville. He was
(27:53):
the guy that threw the switch for light Up. Tell
us You've created quite the career.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Thank you very And I've been at Leadership Louisville Center
since I left the show. Uh started off as a
program manager and now I'm helping oversee all the programs.
So if you guys ever want to come do program
with Leadership Lovelle Center.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Let's go come hang out. Life changing I went, like
right before I went to Texas, I went through Leadership
Louisville and honestly was life changing for me.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
You mentioned Jesse. I got to see Jesse at the
down syndrome of it. I saw, yeah, yeah, he's doing
Jesse such a great.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Guy and he's leadership Southern Indiana and then you can't
get around the state of Kentucky without Linda Lambert.
Speaker 1 (28:33):

last question, well, what the price of gas was last week?
Speaker 2 (28:42):

At actually, real quick, what was your role other than

Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Every time I cried, yes, Aaron down off the ledge. Yes,
And every time I take George Austin for half of them. Yeah, yeah,
he didn't make me cry.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
This is a radio reunion. We posted a couple of
days ago and people the reaction was pretty cool. You
still the people love the old show. Tell uh, you
know what, when's the last What was the last show?
What year was that?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
June of twenty eleven?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Twenty Oh my.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Gosh, I did pop by on your last day. So
the three of us were ten years together. The last Lambert,
Lindsay and Aaron show was about ten years ago. But
I was stopped being on every day fifteen years ago.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yeah, and then we were on another four years before
George moved to Houston.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
How did that?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
How did she that?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, we'll get into that.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
She cheered against any Houston team for.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Where.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I don't even know that where that is.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
A reunions these guys, How did you know? When did
you all get hooked up? And when did you know
that this was going to work and it was going
to be something special?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I went to when I came back, so I was
on the one O two point three signal with Lisa Mitchell.
It was Lisa and Lindsay. Oh right back in the day,
right they sold When deregulation happened, I went to work
for w LKY and was over there for like two years. Anyway,
new company bought the signal and they came back and
(02:30):
they said, hey, we did research and you came back
looking pretty good. We'd like to see if you're interested
in coming back and doing a radio I said sure.
I had heard Linda on one O six nine and
she was on with a guy named Jeff and they
had a great show, and Jeff left and went to Texas.
(02:51):
What is it with you Texas?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
And he wanted me to go with him, and I'm like, dude,
I just left the West Coast like three years ago.
I ain't going back.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
So I liked what she did. I showed up at
a live broadcast that she was doing.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Yeah, this was just this. Should I should have known
this was?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
You stalked her crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I walked up in the middle of the of the
you know, after she got through with doing an on
air break, and I said, hey, my name is George
Lindsay and I want you to work with me. And
she was like, who the heck?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
This is tall good.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I mean honestly, that was pretty much our our interaction.
And she started calling people and was like who the
heck is and.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I had a non compete. Oh nice, And it was
not over.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
It was not over.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Still like a year ago.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
We figured it out and got together in September of
ninety nine, and when Linda came in, she's like, hey,
the guy who does traffic for US Airborne erin. It
was Captain Krash, She did like eighteen for radioations. I said,
(04:02):
Aaron is somebody that that we should we should bring
on the show, And so it was it was Linda's
suggestion that got Aaron in. So went and talked to Aaron,
and you had a no compete, right. Did they give
you trouble about coming to work?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Yeah, I caught a little bit of grief, but they
let me go.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah, same here. They let me go to after a
couple of months or a couple of weeks really.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
So yeah, So the Lambert and Lindsay show came together
in all three of us in like October of ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Lambert Lindsay reunion going on right now. And Aaron you
had mentioned that you were a peacekeeper on the show. Tony,
we've worked together for thirty one years, I know. So
there's a relationship there and there are arguments and stuff
like that, but for the most part we get along.
I think it's because after the show he goes his
way and I go mine, and we rarely talk. What
(04:55):
was what was it? I'm serious though.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
We got good advice from a programmer once. It said,
if you all do the same, if you all hang
out and do the same experiences, you're gonna bring nothing
to the show.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
You gotta do.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
He does his thing, I do mine. We text every
once in a while, but in reality, we don't. We
don't hang out out.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Here's the thing with us. We all had very different
personal lives which allowed us to bring experiences. I mean,
I went through a divorce, I went through breast cancer
and remarrying and all of that on the air, much
to my husband Thurston's dismay. By the way, he said,
(05:34):
he wants nil money if we bring his name up
on the show.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
You're the one.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
So.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
But the other cool thing is we would come down
here for lunch because the studio was on four Street
next to the Sealback, and we would be over here
at four Street live for lunch lots of times, and
listeners would come up and say, wow, you guys really
do like each other and hang out together. And we
did it. We genuinely had fun. I mean, I have
(06:04):
so many memories of laughing so hard that I literally
almost peed my pants, and probably today I would.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, and that that comes over on the air. You
can't fake that. You don't fake that. That is has
to be organic and it has to work because the
listener knows if you're faking the fun, and you guys
certainly did. That was the misnomer that you was in
a missed over was that everyone's, oh, that's the soccer
Mom show. I think that is probably false, but you
(06:34):
tell me.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Here's We always said that if if our if our
ratings numbers had been men, we would have been much
more successful business wise because we were predominantly women. But
that was the target. And what wound up working out
for us is that just about everybody and this sounds
(06:58):
like a brag, but it's not. But just the everybody
that worked in the advertising agencies are what women women, Yes,
and and they listened to the show and they were
invested in the show, and that as we've talked about
before last time I was here, it's it's about the money, yeah,
of course.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, And when when it gets into uh, women being
the target, and by the way, that's that's one of
the main targets. This person's twenty five fifty four women
twenty five to fifty four. But you all would work
slightly blue and you would push the envelope.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Well, we walked after that line every day.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You would.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
We got in trouble four.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
No, it's cute.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
They here's the thing I'll give.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I'll give so much of the credit of that too,
because Linda, Linda has in real life a little bit
of a blue humor kind of side to it.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Aaron was usually the guy that would go, you know,
maybe take it. Wow, that came up with. So we
came up with the term flipping pancakes, okay, which Schmidt, Yeah, adult.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Special Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Our speaking our was flipping pancakes. And we had so
many parents that would say, my kids love it when
you all talk about pancakes.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Aaron came up with that, and you were the one.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
What's funny is I don't remember half. We were texting
about coming on here and like bits and they're talking
about bits and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Did we do that?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Like a decade younger than we are.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
What is wrong?
Speaker 5 (08:33):
I don't remember most of it?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, I want to delve into your sex life off
the air flipping pancakes. I don't know what kind of
moves you're doing.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
I don't even.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Here it makes sense. The other time is Aaron was
single man when we started together on the show together
and we went through all of that.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
I got married, I got I have two kids. I
think Charlie was born right before, about a year before
I Love.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
The Show left the show.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
And when we first started together in ninety nine, he
was single, living in an apartment and driving.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
A Dodge Neon Dodge Dodge Neon Dodge Neon, and we're like, dude,
you have got to get a different car.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
You are never going to get a date.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
What happened, I got another car and you got a date. Yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
It worked out.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
It worked okay.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
So let's talk about some of the shows that you did,
live shows regardless, and some of your favorite shows that
popped your head and said, you know, that was.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
A good day.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, Linda, anything pop up in your head that was
like that was a good day, that was a good show. Uh,
you know, you did a good job if you got
us from the you know, I was doing sports or
rock whatever it was we were doing, but we listened.
It was a great show.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I mean, there's so many and I'm kind of like Aaron,
now you forget things.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Obviously the deal with the cat in the basket. I
thought that was the stupidest idea.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Elaborate on, elaborate on this.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
All right, okay, all right, so it's Georgia.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I don't know if Georgia story.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Did you do? You have the sound? No, that's fine,
that's that's fine. So here's here's what happened. We decided
we were going to do you guys.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Know, kathak a time out, ye see, Aaron, instead of
flipping pancakes, cat in the basket? Might I'm sorry? Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
So we had an idea that it was National Science
Week and we were going to do an experiment in
which we put auto answer cell phone in a basket,
connected helium balloons to the basket, floated it over the
city and we would see where it took the GPS
on it, we'd see where. And that was going to be.
(10:48):
That was for Aaron's cousin. That was going to do
a science probit.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It was Science Week, didn't.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
And so Aaron Miller and Tommy Lee, God rest his soul,
he's a producer.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Afternoon guy.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, And he and Aaron went out in the back
alley behind the radio station and they're acting out, Okay,
we got the basket and get it, get the cat
out of here. Why is the cat always well, it's
the cat's basket, all this kind.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Of yes, I know that.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Here's here's what happened. So the the balloon goes up
and they're like, where's the cat. Oh my god, the
cat jumped in the basket and it's too high. We
can't get it. Dwight Tony, I swear to you we
tracked that imaginary basket.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Aaron and I went out.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
For two hours. People called the show. I think I
see it over the Cherokee Park area. Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
People played along, but I think you probably a lot
of you know listeners. They're like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
There's a cat in a basket. Here's the danger. Here
was here was the thing that sent it over the edge.
And Aaron always said, you're an evil, freaking genius for
doing it. I was like, the phone is auto answer.
Maybe we should call the phone and see if the
cat is.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Okay, So we dial.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Phones don't answer themselves right right the basket And then
you could hear like we had George mixed together like
wind noise, uh, traffic noise and a cat going and.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
And I are out in the field with the BB
his BB gun. So I almost got divorced over this.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
By the way, I'm telling you that the pitiful cat
sound was the thing that took it to the next level.
Here's the thing. Everybody, it was on the new Wave
three w h A suspended for it.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
We got suspended, suspended. People thought it was real.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
And when people got just as mad over the fact
that we got suspended as they did over the fact
that we a cat in a basket and send it
up in a.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Year, I'm convinced there are people listening to the show
right now that think that we killed a cat.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Serious, but that is old schoolchool, your school. You know. Look,
because the radio station goes, look you need you guys
need to promote the station and your show. How much
money do I have? Zero?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Zero?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Figure it out. So you have to come up with
the ideas that go like that, you know, like the
okof days have saved the joke of the day. And
it was and they literally thought the joke today was gone.
And they and they, you know, fifteen hundred people showed
up to save the joke of the day. That was
free kind of organic things that you did. And when
it starts to go, you gotta go with it. And
(13:41):
really thank whoever suspended you. You got to go in
that office, thank you, thank you for suspending us.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
We all three said that launched our show to a
different level.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
It did. Yeah, as stupid as it was, as stupid,
as stupid as it was, we're going to keep you
for another break till the top of the hour, but
we're gonna we got time for the joke of the day.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
George lindsay, do you have a joke?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I don't have a joke. Show me a joe.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, you didn't give him a joke, dude.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I asked. Okay, okay, all right, I got on. I
got one. All right.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Look the bar is said, pretty low, George, you know,
oh you.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Got one of the.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Okay, okay, here's one. Guy walks into Oh hey, fellow Lambert.
Guy walks into a doctor's office. He's got a apple
in one ear, he's got a sparagus up both nose,
and he's got a banana in his butt. Tells the doctor, uh,
I don't feel so good. Doctor, goes, oh, oh, I
(14:38):
see the problem. You're not eating properly.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I didn't think I could get anything.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
You got a joke, mart I'll laugh at anything.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
So you guys flipped coin. It was Lambert Lindsay, Lindsay
and Lambert Lambert. How did that work out? Yeah? Yeah,
welcome back News Radio eight forty w h AS. It's
radio Reunion time, one of the most favorite and beloved
morning shows of all time.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You say that.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Up at home thinking and that what accurred for union
This is this say nobody.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Can understand a word you're saying with your lips pressed
so firmly against their asses. Lambert Lindsay Aaron Miller on
the studio with us this morning, rehashing the Labort, the
first time you all three been together since.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Air on the air since twenty eleven.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Wow, oh wow wow.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
And we discussed it in the break and they went, yeah, no,
damn way, We're going to do a showgaint the way
right now.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Again, this isn't abne Well, there is a way, but
it would involve so much money.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, three of you are your on air this morning.
You haven't missed a beat. The chemistry is there. That's
something that you can't fake. Because Tony and I we
have great chemistry. We know where each one's going. So
it's it's just it's amazing the way you haven't missed
a beat. You know.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
It's interesting because I always tell people that what we had,
the chemistry we had on the show was real and
and is real, and it's something that you don't understand
unless you've ever been part of a team, whether it's
sports team whatever. But if you have that team chemistry, yep,
and you have everybody that that has a role and
(17:34):
knows the role, and it's magic. And you talked about
it earlier Tony, we there were days that you know,
we would get done with the show and it would
just be like that was it.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
That's why we do it stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
That's because one of the and I want to catch
up a little bit for everybody with Lyndon Aaron, because
what other business can you be in that is creative,
make an impact in your community and it's fun. And
I think that's why all the former radio people always
(18:09):
are drawn back to it because you want that again,
you want that feeling again.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
What did you learn from her?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
From Linda? Just how you can trust Because I've had
a lot of radio partners, and this is no slam
against them, but I never trusted a partner like I
trusted her.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I know what you're saying. I've never trusted him.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Trust me.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I actually stepped. I actually stepped on his question. He
was actually had he come up with Lambert Lindsay who
determined top billing? Was there any friction there?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
It's a very simple answer, and it goes to the
heart of who George is. Okay, he is a gentleman
and ladies, first, oh, look at you, dude, that's what
he told me. I mean I didn't care. I really didn't, right,
and he said it just sounded better.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
But lady start see I didn't care either about thought, Hey,
Madonna over here might get upset if you come seconds.
So we'll go ahead and let him.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
All right, Captain Crash, What did you leave from these
two in the radio bize?
Speaker 5 (19:08):
So I learned from Linda how to take a three
minute story and make it eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
You can go on, remember.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
No but seriousness that these two are amazing storytellers. And
if there's anything I learned, I learned so much stuff.
I consider these two family and they have been mentors
in my life, and I've learned so much that I've
taken on in my career since then. But storytelling, these
two can tell a story and make it personal and
make it real and make it hilarious. Uh, in a
way that I learned a lot from.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
You said that their family, Manson had a family just.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
You know, actually, but.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
You love you love Georgia, Yes, absolutely, always will and
and it's just like a family. We always had our
ups and downs, but at the end of the day,
we always loved each other and supported each other. And
from George I learned well. First of all, I learned,
if you still steal something from us, you've stolen it twice.
(20:20):
And it took us a long time to figure him out.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
But I do a joke of the day on our
show when we come back. By the way, I just
want you to know that.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
I learned from George how to be how to be
better with your creativity. I learned what it means to
be part of a team and to support one another.
And I watched him. He was always in management, so
not only was he our partner, he was our boss. Technically,
but he did that with with grace most of the time.
(20:52):
And then from from Aaron. From Aaron, I learned it's
so much more about writing. He's such a great writer.
And I have always loved to write and thought I
was good until I met him. The way he could
just take a story and put it to paper, and
(21:13):
his technical skills were far beyond and still are far
beyond mind. Maybe not Georgia's, but he used to get
so mad at me when I would have a technical
problem and he was like, I'm not your personal tech support,
but he always helped.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
So listen, Starting out a show is not easy. When
and when Tony and I started together in the mornings,
we had to take over for Stern you recall us,
we hate your guns, and they got to rebuild, and
then then we took over for Leland Conway. We hate you,
You're not our real show. But then we we built
the show. So starting out is not easy to begin with.
(21:49):
But you started out, you get this team together, George Lindsay,
one year into it, they're gonna fire you.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah, they decided that Love one O two, you old
love song stopped. Wait wait, we only stopped the music
once inside the more music.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Out, I just got a shiver.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I'm guying to hear the phrase the page. But you
get you get the team together. You're in, are you?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Yeah? And actually that was probably the critical point of
the show because the format that we were playing of
music did not match the show, right yea. And I
told them, I said, the music's got to change or
you do have to fire me. And again it was me,
(22:43):
not those two because and and uh and they chose
to change the music and.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And then there is and then you started to just
go around the community and that was that was huge.
That was big. That did do the Derby stuff, not
just the Derby but the festival stuff and going out
to do cancer research events and all that stuff. You
guys kind of as a team went out and did that.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
We did two things that I think were really instrumental
in that number. One. We always had the phrase that
the show needs to be bigger than the signal because
we were on a three thousand, what.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Which was crippling at times, Yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Before the internet.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
In number we finished number one on a three thousand,
and that was the thing from the beginning. We got
to be bigger than the signal and the other thing
was and this took a little convincing, especially for Linda
when she would go to the country club.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Stop it. Let's see.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
You can see in martini in her hand right now.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
You can't. But we early on we said we're all free,
gonna do a remote or appearance and will split that
fee three ways. I mean we we were doing appearances
for like one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You were, but you were everywhere.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
We were all together, and and it worked out because
every people loved. I tell people all of this, I've
never seen an audience react to a personality the way
they reacted to Linda. No love, loved, loved lambort.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well I don't know why my family
doesn't understand it any but it was unique.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Again, women, you know, women in radio, either you or
the only I won't say only. She was the strongest
personality on the radio for years and years in this
I agree.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
And then the people, Aaron, anybody you all interviewed that
you all liked.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
I still remember this was not too long before I
left the show, that there was this comedian we'd never
heard on it, you know, and did you guy? Probably
also the comedian of the week.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Absolute it was ever at the Comedy Caravan.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, most of them were not very good.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Kevin Hart, Oh yeah, yeah, this guy no clue.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I mean we didn't know who he.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Met her laughed that hard in my life, and then
flash forward a year or two, we're like, oh, that's
a dude that was on the show, and now he's yeah,
that was a star.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Now it's huge. Did you so? One of the things
if your morning radio and everybody here has been in
morning radio, when Derby comes around, they have your broadcast
from the backside two weeks before the damn it it
was someone not in this Derby week. Did it get
on your nerves being back there for that even a week?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Well back then people actually went he looked forward to that.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Did you really my favorite time of the year.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Absolutely, man, I just saw this an extra hour you
had to get up.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
We stopped doing it on the Sports show because at
the beginning it would be like, oh, there's Lint Swan
and then there's any and then all of a sudden
and then it started to dwindle and I was like,
no one's here.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Hey, I played guy next to table on MAUD Would
you like me?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
And by the way, yes, and by the way, the
worst interview him and I did ever ever did, was
talk into interviewing Ojason. It was the biggest regret of
our careers. It was that bad. Uh. But you guys, again,
there's a support staff for a show like that. Is
there anybody you want to mention that that was at
the station that you want to say thanks for?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
I want to give a shout out to Jesse Rafsmussen.
He replaced Aaron was on the show with Lindon and
I for about four years. And you know, nothing against
Aaron because I still called him every day. We I
mean when I was here, we went to lunch every
day every day. But Jesse really added a different and
(26:54):
a younger kind of feel to the show when he
came on, and I was thinking about all the interns
that we had. We put our interns like on the show.
You know, it's like, Okay, here's you. You're going to
be part of this from the beginning.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You're not there is yours?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Yeah, And I mean we have people that are business successes.
P R Media.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
One of our interns, she was with us and then
we actually hired her as a part timer. Part timer Jenny.
She's now like director of marketing for Shady Jenny Howard.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Yeah, Jenny Goodman. Then now she's Jenny, She's like my
third daughter.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
J Howard family.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Jenny Howard left me at the Altar just.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
You know, real quick, let's let's give a little shout
out because we gave Aaron a lot of grief when
he left the show, obviously, but we said everybody would
ask what happened to Aaron, and we always told him
he went to work for Light Up Louisville. He was
(27:53):
the guy that threw the switch for light Up. Tell
us You've created quite the career.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Thank you very And I've been at Leadership Louisville Center
since I left the show. Uh started off as a
program manager and now I'm helping oversee all the programs.
So if you guys ever want to come do program
with Leadership Lovelle Center.

right before I went to Texas, I went through Leadership
Louisville and honestly was life changing for me.

down syndrome of it. I saw, yeah, yeah, he's doing
Jesse such a great.
