There's always you know, all the guys that watch sportball 52 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:37.639 every single weekend and they know what's going on. Guess who wins Betty from 53 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.439 accounting his third grade nephew every year. No, that's true. No, 54 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:46.560 we've had at iHeart, We've had a six year old challenge. It's like, 55 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.520 what what just happened? All right, somebody turns white up. I'm 56 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.120 seeing that on our on our on our text sounds a little distant compared to 57 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.520 you. Well, I have a little distant that's true. That's true. 58 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:03.280 He's hard to connect with. Okay, so, uh, Shannon, what 59 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:08.039 is your pick for the national champion? We'll just do that. Oh my, 60 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:12.960 my bracket is as empty as Dave's. Right now. I agree, 61 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.920 though, Kentucky does have a really good path to get there. I was 62 00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:19.160 starting out, I was starting out looking trying to figure out which one's gonna 63 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:24.360 be the bracketbuster, you know, that one that won upset in one of 64 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:30.800 those divisions that's gonna mess up everybody's path to winning. Yeah, well, 65 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:36.079 I will say this. So NC State is the team that won five games 66 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.959 in five days. They beat Louisville the first day and then rolled through the 67 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.040 ACC. And people are now heard a show earlier they said you can't do 68 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:46.439 that. They're gonna be whooped. I saw him, dude, a couple 69 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.879 of years ago. It's like a Kentucky Derby. They're like a gelding can't 70 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.519 win the derby, and then that year a gelding wins the derby. It's 71 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.879 just like, our team can't do that and then win the title. H 72 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.839 Well, then we watch teams do that. So I've say, remember you 73 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.720 did that a couple of years ago, maybe a decade ago in the ACC 74 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.800 where they ran or the Big East, can't remember which one, and we're 75 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.800 in, but ran the table for five games in five days and then won 76 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.959 won all six games in the tournament. So it can be done. I 77 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:18.759 could very easily see. I can very easily see NC State. I could 78 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:23.680 very easily see NC State upsetting Texas Tech in that first round matchup. Well, 79 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.560 we'll see, we'll see with that one. In the Kentucky's will would 80 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.199 have the winners. So that one. Riddle me this, guys, why 81 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.720 do we talk all year long about the net rankings and then Indiana State net 82 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:38.399 twenty eight Saint John's net thirty two? Don't get in? What's the point 83 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:43.600 of them agendas? Russia collusion? I don't know, Russia collusion. Yeah, 84 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.480 yeah, absolutely absolutely. Uh So no, that's a very good question. 85 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.519 Why do we follow this, uh, these certain rankings if you're not 86 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:55.240 going to use them in the NCAA tournament. Saint John's is another one. 87 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:59.120 Rick Patino very disappointed, so disappointed, matter of fact, he said, 88 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.680 I will, we will not as Saint John's agreed to play in the n 89 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.279 I t so they're done for the year. Uh. And everyone wanted the 90 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:10.160 big dude with the goggles for Indians, Okay. And there's this big, 91 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:15.439 huge, goofy, chunky dude and he wears the goggles and he's amazing. 92 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.480 He just throws the ball up and he goes in and everybody's like, what 93 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:27.240 are they call him? What's his nickname? What the what? Young joker? 94 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.279 Oh, young joker? Okay, yes, he's hilarious. Who was 95 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:36.519 the kid's name on Bad News Bears? Uh? Oh no, no, 96 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:41.199 the catcher, the catcher, Yeah, I don't. I need to get 97 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.600 the internet. Oh no, no, I got it on I got it 98 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:49.519 on top of my damn head. Yeah. That was Bill Coox was his 99 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:56.040 stepdad. Stop it, stop it there. Okay, here's a non basketball 100 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.680 thing again. We're at Martin's Barbecue on Westport Road. Come fill out your 101 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.000 brack. Matter of fact, we have a wheel that every hour we're gonna 102 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.560 or we're gonna spin it every couple of minutes and we're gonna fill out our 103 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.319 bracket with just spinning of the wheel. That's what we need to do. 104 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.079 We get all the teeth for it, so it's gonna be just stupid. 105 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.360 We'll see how our wheel does versus everybody's picks. But over the weekend, 106 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.600 okay, I have to look it up. It was Mike Ingelberg. Ingelberg. 107 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:29.879 Ingelberg was the trash talker. Right, Ingelberg was the trash talker. 108 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:36.319 Yeah, came up there. Who was the what loopas Lupas was the blondehaired 109 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:43.920 kid? Okay? Engelbert also saying lesbian seagull ironically really, Oh no, 110 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:48.759 that's Ingelberg. Oh yeah, so many Engelberts, so little time I know 111 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:54.879 there really really is okay, a landmark legal settlement announced. Remember we talked 112 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:59.680 about this with Phil Moffett months ago, and this announcement, this settlement came 113 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.079 down. This is a big deal. People are predicting a lot of real 114 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.879 estate agents are gonna get out of the game and go do something else after 115 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.319 this. Wow. Yeah, So the landmark legal settlement announced by the National 116 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.519 Association of Realtors on Friday will change how homes are bought and sold in Louisville. 117 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.199 The Local Relators Group were already pushing its members to adopt one of the 118 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.399 two new requirements called for the deal. They're paying like a four hundred million 119 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.720 dollar fine and it is it's gonna hurt that. Basically the settlement was over 120 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:37.840 a billion dollars. They said they were artificially holding their rates too high. 121 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:43.159 Wow, that to six percent three and three and that the seller had to 122 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.240 pay for the buyer was ridiculous. So those rates are gonna go down and 123 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.799 even you know, more difficult real estate world. That is a huge deal 124 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.519 and a lot of real estate agents, everyone's like a real estate I mean 125 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.639 it's just like, well, I also have my real estate license, do 126 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.759 you That's great? And it's like, wow, that's that's fantastic. So 127 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.480 everyone seems to be a real estate or if they're just fed up with their 128 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:09.360 job, what do they do? You see what you see them on Facebook? 129 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:18.519 Hey my new job, Please give me a call. So they are, 130 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.600 but they got into the game in a little different manner than what they 131 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.320 are. So the commissions are going to go down. Yeah, and what 132 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:28.320 you know what a lot of people don't realize is out of that three percent 133 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.320 that either the buyer or the cellar agent gets, there's a lot of stuff 134 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.519 taken out of that. There might be a finder's fee, the broker gets 135 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.720 his cut, so they're not getting a whole three percent when they get that 136 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:45.679 when they get that commission. Oh, your wife is a realtor, Yes 137 00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.639 she is. She's been studying this. She's got kind of a scowl on 138 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.919 her face reading this settlement and what it means. Guarantee it because it's changing 139 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.360 right now. Yeah, it definitely is. So. Of course, Elan 140 00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.240 and England has been five it's been doing one percent commission for the last five 141 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.399 years. So they were ahead of the game. All right, Martin's Barbecue. 142 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:11.279 What type of barbecue are you, Dwight fond go. I go through 143 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.120 all kinds of different you know, the Kansas City, this is West Tennessee, 144 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:18.679 and you're an expert at home. I'm not an expert level, but 145 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:20.720 I sure do love doing it. And I got to tell you, man, 146 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.240 it smells good out here. They got a whole all going right now, 147 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.879 come on, buy Martin's Barbecue joint. I didn't realize how huge this 148 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:35.639 place is. It's amazing. But your chance to win Marty Book at eleven 149 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.360 eight or a bumper sticker, whichever is either way T shirt. Tell me. 150 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.159 As a matter of fact, we might give away a few of those 151 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.759 wha T shirts throughout the day. We can exchange for Marty Book too. 152 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.080 We might have to buy him back. He is on his way out here 153 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.559 just to talk basketball. He pays a lot more attention to this than we 154 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.799 do throughout the year, so he'll have some good appa. Here's what I 155 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.080 want to do. Then, I actually do want to fill out a bracket 156 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.600 and go up against Marty Brook. Okay, because Marty Book is the sports 157 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.279 ball authority, you get correct, well you you too as well. No, 158 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.679 not anymore, okay, But but I want to see how I do 159 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:18.960 point wise against Marty Brook again. I think if you just you know, 160 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.759 you pick your favorite colors and your team, sometimes it comes out a little 161 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.120 bit better. I want to spin the wheel and put my bracket up against 162 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:30.879 Marty Brook. The big question will be will it be a chalk? That's 163 00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:33.519 the biggest question people always ask, will it be chalk? Which is? 164 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.039 Will the number one and number two seeds get to the final four? How 165 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.080 calmon is that? You used to be pretty common? It used to be 166 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.679 very common, but after the transfer, like last year was San Diego State, 167 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.960 it was three of the four were non blue bloods last year, and 168 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.799 and I think that's going to continue. I really do. My wife, 169 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.159 Susan Tyler Witten every year, like if Kentucky's having the worst season of our 170 00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:00.600 life, but somehow they get in, she'll fill out two bracksts.

The year two thousand, after they won the 174 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:13.159 nasholet. I remember they went to the n I T yep.

It was just a couple of 241 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:49.080 weeks ago that Louisville, Kentucky was the well. The eyes of the nation 242 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:55.639 were upon us because we had a semi truck dangling over the Second Street bridge. 243 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:57.879 Very terrifying situation. And by the way, the Louisville Fire Department, 244 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:04.400 who deserves raises and better facilities, they had a response time in under three 245 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:08.599 minutes. Incredible. Then he had to rescue of the driver that was still 246 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:14.160 hanging over the edge, had to repel down to savor. That's part of 247 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:15.839 the story. The other side of the story is who was there to make 248 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:19.720 sure it wouldn't slip and recover the eighteen wheeler, And that, of course 249 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:26.119 was when it comes to tow trucks, Louisville Legends suburban Towing and I bring 250 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.480 in Justin Shae for Justin how are you. First of all, good morning, 251 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:33.240 how you doing? Good morning, sir, how are you man? 252 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.960 We're doing really good. Look, kudos to you all for getting to the 253 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:42.240 scene so quickly and to help rescue the driver keeping the truck from slipping. 254 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:48.000 But I gotta think this is a situation that you don't train for as us 255 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.720 the first you know, this is a first, This is a first number 256 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.000 one, what do you think when you get on the scene? And then 257 00:17:55.000 --> 00:18:02.279 how do you evaluate such an ordeal because this could go tragic quickly. Absolutely. 258 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:07.039 We we do a lot of cross training and training, a lot of 259 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:12.000 a lot of schools that we go to for certain things, but nothing could 260 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:18.559 ever prepare you for what we had to deal with at that point. It's 261 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.119 it was just an incredible scene. I've described it as a scene from a 262 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:25.839 movie. You know. I was expected to see Tom Cruise flying through the 263 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:30.480 air at some point. You know. It was just an incredible, incredible 264 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.160 job that we had to do. You know, we we had a team 265 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:40.799 of four of us guys, and we all worked extremely well under that pressure 266 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:48.119 together just just to to make an excellent too. Is how you all worked 267 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.759 so quickly under pressure because you didn't have a lot of time to stand around 268 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.200 and go, well, maybe what if and what if that you had to 269 00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:02.880 get right to a solution right there, and then who had the burden of 270 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.480 command of making the call? Was that you or someone else? Well, 271 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:12.720 the four of us gentlemen that were there, three operators and our scene safety 272 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:18.519 supervisor. The three of the four of us combined have over one hundred years 273 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:23.880 of experience in this industry, and that played a phenomenal role in just everything 274 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:32.559 working together. And everybody just worked under a little bit different mindset that day. 275 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.039 It was I don't know how to explain that exactly, but it was 276 00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:41.720 just a more of a laser focus or a sharper focus than you know than 277 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:45.920 not well, and you have to typically have yeah, I guarantee it. 278 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:51.240 So you have to assess. And again you you look up and you see 279 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:56.240 that the truck is just wedged under that one piece of steel across and you're 280 00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.359 thinking, that's the only thing holding that truck in to go over. Now, 281 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:04.000 I guess did did your does your tow truck way more than that truck? 282 00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:07.960 Was there any fear that you thought, I'm gonna hook up to this 283 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.920 thing and if it goes over it's gonna take my truck with it in anybody 284 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.960 that it's in its path. No, I don't think that could actually happen. 285 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:23.000 I mean we we our trucks are about the same weight as that truck 286 00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:26.960 combined, was each one of them are? And we had three trucks hooked 287 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:30.559 to it. The two in the front were lifting the front of the trailer 288 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:33.200 straight up, and then the one in the rear was controlling the rear of 289 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:38.920 the trailer and then winching it back onto the deck itself. I don't think 290 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:45.920 that you know that that could never have been an issue. But you've also 291 00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:51.160 got to think about the the what ifs, and you know, we we 292 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:56.319 ran through every what if scenario before we even really started to mess with it, 293 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.000 and to do that quickly. By the way, and if you don't 294 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:04.799 mind, give me the waymans terms the Reader's Digest version, walk me through 295 00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:08.400 you guys getting on the scene. What are the what are the first steps 296 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:15.400 through the last step of rescuing this eighteen wheeler. The first step is that 297 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:19.359 we we were just basically waiting to make sure that the driver got out safely. 298 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.279 And and what a job by the Louisville Fire in the ms and and 299 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:30.279 everybody else that was involved in it just just an incredible, incredible scene that 300 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:34.200 that they that they did. Then at that point then police want to do 301 00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.960 their investigation part. They have to take their pictures and their measurements and things 302 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.759 like that, and that's that's typically what happens when we get into a serious 303 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:47.400 accident. And then that gave us a good, good you know a few 304 00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:49.920 minutes for us to really walk around and get a good game plan. Myself 305 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:56.000 and Stanley, we walked around it and we assessed it, and then Jim 306 00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:00.839 Knight are S seeing safety supervisor, showed up me He was like great, 307 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:04.279 like five minutes behind us. He showed up, and we you know, 308 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:07.440 we just all kind of looked at it as a collective, you know, 309 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:11.400 collectively, and we had had called the third truck to come in at that 310 00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:15.000 point, but we also had to get our rollbacks in to get the vehicles 311 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.079 off the bridge as well, because there was like three other vehicles that were 312 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:21.440 involved in the accident and that we had to get those out of the way. 313 00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:26.240 First, suburban we did. How long has suburban been around? I 314 00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.720 can what forty years something crazy, probably bault longer than that. I would 315 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:37.079 imagine what fifty five to be exact suburban in nineteen sixty nine, biggest fleet 316 00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.799 in Kentucky. Right, yeah, yeah, in my yeah, in my 317 00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:47.079 point there is you know, yes that that situation was as dangerous and crazy 318 00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:52.000 as possible. But every day you're alls tow truck drivers take their lives in 319 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.920 It's just like it's like highway patrolmen, uh that worked the expressways. It's 320 00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.200 dangerous to try to tow things off the side of the express every single day. 321 00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.880 You can't just hire anybody. They have to be pretty well trained itself, 322 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:08.519 right, and you have to keep your head on a swivel because on 323 00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:11.400 the side of the highway, people do not give us the room that we 324 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.279 need. They don't they do not obey the slow down move over laws that 325 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:19.400 we have in place. And you can get hit in a in a really 326 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:25.960 quick one out of six of art. Every six days one driver gets hit 327 00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:30.160 in our industry. And that's a terrible statistic to have. Yeah, that's 328 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.480 a staggering. People aren't paying attention. It's ridiculous. Yeah, they're on 329 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:38.920 their phones or the Never Never Land or whatever the case, and it is. 330 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:42.279 It is a bad deal.
