Speaker 3: I want to say happy birthday to friend of the
Speaker 3: show and dear friend of mine, Lane Gulay. Lane Gulay,
Speaker 3: the Vietnam veteran that.
Speaker 2: We did the honor flights with.
Speaker 3: I was on the honor flight. He was not Actually
Speaker 3: I was actually parted with him, but he and I
Speaker 3: just hit it off and we wound up getting into
Speaker 3: a lot of trouble together.
Speaker 1: Lane Goolay and I did shocking Yeah. And to answer
Speaker 1: your question, yes, what he's related.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he is related to the singer. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: Marvin Gulay. No, it's not happy birthday, Lane Gulay. And
Speaker 3: sorry Jeff Tolki for all the trouble that we gave you. Uh,
Speaker 3: let's let's shift gears and get serious for a minute.
Speaker 3: Let's do some good for the neighborhood because we've got
Speaker 3: a hero family that we need to take care of.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about correction Officer Michael Weddah. We lost him recently,
Speaker 3: so I go to Chief Collins. Chief, talk about Michael
Speaker 3: for a minute and how much he met to you
Speaker 3: all corrections.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's Michael's a great story. You know, he's he
Speaker 4: immigrated here from Liberia and recently brought his family over.
Speaker 4: He graduated just in November from our from our academy,
Speaker 4: and unfortunately he was a victim of oahamicide this this
Speaker 4: past Sunday, and we really want to just get out
Speaker 4: and really take care of his family.
Speaker 1: So but this is an example of a person that
Speaker 1: did it the right way. He immigrated the way you're
Speaker 1: supposed to when you come to America. He got his citizenship,
Speaker 1: he got in with the corrections office. Tell me what
Speaker 1: kind of corrections officer he was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a great corrections officer. He actually got a
Speaker 4: citizenship in twenty two and then went to U of
Speaker 4: L and got a degree in choral justice. So it's
Speaker 4: it's so unfortunate. You really can't make sense of a
Speaker 4: senseless act. But what we can do is honor him,
Speaker 4: take care of our folks down at to jail, and
Speaker 4: especially take care of his family.
Speaker 1: Because part of this that makes it even sadder. Obviously
Speaker 1: he's lost his life, and I'm hoping he got some
Speaker 1: leads on this guy or girl whoever murdered Michael.
Speaker 5: But he just got his wife and son to the America,
Speaker 5: to America.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, it's he has some extended family here also.
Speaker 4: So it's you know, it's just a sad tale. You
Speaker 4: really can't make sense of it.
Speaker 2: Chief. I could see that you're emotional about.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I've known you a long time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's you know, it's tragic, you know, you you
Speaker 4: we've been we have a liaison actually another officer that's
Speaker 4: from lib area, you know, with the family every day.
Speaker 4: We're trying to get them through the process of the
Speaker 4: funeral and benefits, and we really want to focus on
Speaker 4: not only taking care of them right now, but post
Speaker 4: event really making sure, you know, they're okay. So it's
Speaker 4: been it's been a challenging week for us, but we've
Speaker 4: had a lot of people step up for us. I
Speaker 4: do want to thank Chief Humphrey with LMPD. Yeah, Brad
Speaker 4: Seburia with ab See cheap on Mail with l FD,

Speaker 4: They've all I've reached out and helped us and and
Speaker 4: and help us get through this and and supported us.
Speaker 4: So I'm here with our corrections as FLP president. We unfortunate,
Speaker 4: you know, fortunately, we just recently started a foundation for
Speaker 4: corrections similar to police have on a police foundation. You know,
Speaker 4: we we didn't think we'd be using it this this
Speaker 4: past but yeah, one of our lieutenant Jason Hill, really
Speaker 4: did the yeoman's work on that. Yeah, Derek Carell, I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: Derek Hill. And they've been working tirelessly to get something
Speaker 4: so I want President Lederick to speak about some of
Speaker 4: the things. We'll have more things going on, but we
Speaker 4: have some fundraisers going on right now, and we've sent
Speaker 4: you the link for that. You can donate directly. But
Speaker 4: we also have some fundraisers going on yes.

Speaker 6: goes to Michael's family on Dixie.
Speaker 3: It's where Bacon's used to Oh, okay, got you as

Speaker 3: the exit right there.
Speaker 2: Used to be like a trampoline place.
Speaker 3: Yeah there, it's still there.
Speaker 2: Oh still, it's around the corner.
Speaker 3: It's right down the street from Shively Records.
Speaker 2: That's not true.
Speaker 3: Actually it was.
Speaker 2: It was. It's gone ye yeah.
Speaker 6: But with with that being said, we're going to try
Speaker 6: to do a rooster's tour throughout the Lotisville area nice
Speaker 6: uh Dixie Highways kicking it off. We're going to see
Speaker 6: about if the other roosters can can join in. One
Speaker 6: of the bigger events we're working on is we're working
Speaker 6: with Top Golf. We're going to uh do a Top
Speaker 6: Golf event. We're gonna have nine bays uh in just
Speaker 6: fellowship supporting Michael's family. All proceeds are going to go
Speaker 6: to his family. We are looking for sponsors for the
Speaker 6: golf bays. It's a four hundred dollars sponsorship per bay.
Speaker 6: Those are filling up. I think we've got nine total
Speaker 6: bays and we're accepting uh items to be raffled off
Speaker 6: at that at that event too. Top Golf is going
Speaker 6: to give us a room to hold any type of
Speaker 6: raffle or fundraising we want to use. In addition to
Speaker 6: the bays, you can get with any of us on that.
Speaker 3: And if you're a bourbon collector out there, or maybe
Speaker 3: just a corporate citizen and you're thinking, hey, you know
Speaker 3: I need to do some good for the neighborhood. Now
Speaker 3: it's the perfect time. How can people get in touch
Speaker 3: with you all at seventy seven or with you chief
Speaker 3: with these items, because there could be people out there
Speaker 3: that could have they could have a top shelf bourbon
Speaker 3: that could maybe be donated. And there's other corporate citizens
Speaker 3: out there. If you have a business, boy, let me
Speaker 3: tell you you can really do some good with your
Speaker 3: product or services. Right now, what's the best way you
Speaker 3: get in touch with Lodge seventy seven.
Speaker 6: Lodge seventy seven, I can put my phone number out there.
Speaker 6: Chiefs easy to contact. We've got some cards here too.
Speaker 5: So yes, let's talk about corrections real quick.
Speaker 1: Dwight and I have we're lucky enough to do the
Speaker 1: show down with you a couple of years ago, and
Speaker 1: we did the entire our entire radio show down there,
Speaker 1: not once, but twice.
Speaker 5: They booked us. You guys booked this. We went through
Speaker 5: the entire process.
Speaker 3: I'll requested it in cavity shirts, but you do not
Speaker 3: have that.
Speaker 2: That's exactly whatever. We don't need that.
Speaker 3: We don't need that.
Speaker 1: But it was very eye opening for me because there
Speaker 1: was a lot of details that you don't know. You
Speaker 1: can't say it, but I will. It's a thankless job
Speaker 1: and it's almost unwinnable for what Corrections has to put
Speaker 1: up with every single day. It's like the mail, it
Speaker 1: doesn't stop, it just keeps coming and coming, and there
Speaker 1: are no letups. You all are the largest drug intake
Speaker 1: in the state. That is insane to me. Those numbers
Speaker 1: are insane to me. People that get locked up and
Speaker 1: you're and that are in your charge the only time
Speaker 1: they've ever seen a doctor. That's where I was going
Speaker 1: is with you fascinating. I think you guys do the
Speaker 1: best damn job you can. You're always outmanned. And talk
Speaker 1: about that camaraderie, especially with this situation and what you
Speaker 1: how you all are battling that every single day because
Speaker 1: the door never shuts and locks, it's there's always a
Speaker 1: flow in to see you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's so important to realize these folks, just
Speaker 4: like Michael, they spend you know, sixteen hours a day
Speaker 4: together and they're dealing with traumatic situations. You know, nobody
Speaker 4: wants to be in jail. We're dealing with with you know,
Speaker 4: forty of our population has some type of mental health issue.
Speaker 4: You know, we're the largest detox facility in the in
Speaker 4: the state. Obviously medically fragile people, and we got some
Speaker 4: really dangerous folks. So you know, they really bond really quick.
Speaker 4: And it's a family. You know, it's a brotherhood. We're
Speaker 4: dysfunctional half the time, but when we come together, you know,
Speaker 4: it's it's you don't mess.
Speaker 2: With our brothers.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh, but don't eat the food.
Speaker 4: No, I think the food's great.
Speaker 3: I've had I've had the food. I've had the food.
Speaker 2: You eat the food.
Speaker 3: There's only one thing picture of it. By the way,
Speaker 3: there's only one part of it. I didn't care.
Speaker 2: But for a week.
Speaker 3: Let's let's get back on track though. Let's do some
Speaker 3: good for the neighborhood. Let's help out the family of
Speaker 3: Michael Wetta, recently murdered Corrections officer chief. What's the best
Speaker 3: way for people that want to donate Right now, I'm
Speaker 3: going to share the link again the Major Collins. I
Speaker 3: reached out to him, and Major Collins, Major Logston reached
Speaker 3: out to him. He gave me a link I shared
Speaker 3: on my page. I will reshare that as well. But
Speaker 3: can they call corrections in general or they can they
Speaker 3: call FOP Lodge? Is that better? Yeah? We are.
Speaker 4: We're funneling everything through our foundation in the link through
Speaker 4: the FOP, so we can keep everything central, but also
Speaker 4: you can support these events and we'll put more out.
Speaker 4: The first one, obviously is March fourth, six to nine
Speaker 4: pm at Roosters. That's going to be a buffet style.
Speaker 3: That's awesome. Make sure you guys get me these because
Speaker 3: we'll push these out on the air as we get
Speaker 3: there because we're we need all these events, but we
Speaker 3: won't be drinking from a water hose.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And the the Bingo at at Bingo City Break Ridge.
Speaker 4: That's that's sponsored by the OPE. Both sessions one hundred
Speaker 4: percent generally that's around ten thousand dollars. We'd like to
Speaker 4: everybody come out. My wife is a bingo person, so
Speaker 4: so we'll be out there next week on February twenty seventh.
Speaker 4: And you know, that's a huge that's going that's that's
Speaker 4: a huge thing for the family, and I really do
Speaker 4: want to focus that, Hey, this is this is tragic,
Speaker 4: but we need to take care of the family not
Speaker 4: only through this but going forward.
Speaker 2: So this is a great way to do it all.

Speaker 1: you know, concrete and doing all that, and then pool
Speaker 1: installations about twenty years ago. And he has the best
Speaker 1: architects and designers.
Speaker 3: I had.
Speaker 2: I had a dream with Dave Jennings in it last night.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he Dave said he was gonna design the Unlimited
Speaker 1: Landscapes pool for me, and he was ridiculous, right, And

Speaker 3: What inspired you on this single?
Speaker 8: Trouble just kind of what I was going through, you know,
Speaker 8: just just trouble, kicking the vices and also just staying
Speaker 8: out of trouble. Trouble, staying out of trouble, you know,
Speaker 8: just kind of keeping it together as much as I could.
Speaker 8: I was, you know, going through some stuff and then
Speaker 8: you know, you have different ways of dealing with it.
Speaker 8: But this was really helpful too, because it was just
Speaker 8: kind of like writing it down, getting it out of me,
Speaker 8: and not like consuming other things.
Speaker 2: Because sometimes you don't want to stop getting in trouble. Yeah,
Speaker 2: sometimes it's fine.
Speaker 5: That's the reality of it, totally right, saying you know what,
Speaker 5: this is who I am.

Speaker 3: the part of that Hollywood scene?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, there's a lot of things. It's Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's tough no matter where you are coming up or
Speaker 3: making it.
Speaker 2: That's one of the reasons I left, Yeah, one of
Speaker 2: the reasons I moved.
Speaker 8: Yeah, because it was just so it was everywhere, you know,
Speaker 8: and it was and it was not all bad stuff,
Speaker 8: but it was just like there's so much at that
Speaker 8: time before the pandemic, there was so much going on.
Speaker 3: All the time.
Speaker 8: You know, so shows or parties or just get together
Speaker 8: as their friends hangs whatever, and you know, there's just
Speaker 8: so much to do there.
Speaker 1: You know, that town is chewed up really smart talented people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how many some of the
Speaker 1: greatest artists of all time will go I made no
Speaker 1: money for five albums, you know, I mean, or I
Speaker 1: got chewed up and I and they they took advantage
Speaker 1: of this. I think the I think the interesting part
Speaker 1: of trying to go out to LA and make it
Speaker 1: is you can't trust anybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then what is a good deal.
Speaker 1: If it's too good to be true, it's probably not
Speaker 1: total probably right, and that Yeah, we had.
Speaker 8: Some experience with that too, like that, you know, the
Speaker 8: quintessential like almost famous, like almost make it with the
Speaker 8: band thing where we had we just got involved with
Speaker 8: some people that had a lot of money, but also
Speaker 8: just they didn't they didn't have a lot of morals,
Speaker 8: we'll say they yeah, yeah, but it's it's really tough
Speaker 8: out there's places like LA and Nashville, especially because there's
Speaker 8: so many musicians to where it's like people that will
Speaker 8: just take fifty bucks for a gigg, we'll pay for free,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, to where it's like it's
Speaker 8: tough to make a living, like almost everybody in those cities,
Speaker 8: not Nashville per se, but you know New York, LA.
Speaker 8: A lot of those people, even playing major clubs and stuff,
Speaker 8: they still have day jobs, which is nothing wrong with
Speaker 8: but I'm saying it's like, as far as just having
Speaker 8: playing music is a full time job, it's tough to
Speaker 8: do in those bigger cities for sure.
Speaker 3: When it comes to be a musician. Is the Internet
Speaker 3: a double edged sword? Here's what I mean. It leveled
Speaker 3: the playing field because now you know, artists can put
Speaker 3: their stuff out there, it can go viral. That would
Speaker 3: be a great success. But at the same time, we
Speaker 3: had Joe Elliott on from def Leopard, oh yeah, and
Speaker 3: I was talking to him and he said, look, nobody
Speaker 3: lines up to buy def Leppard albums anymore, right, you
Speaker 3: got to make all your money and touring. My point
Speaker 3: is you get the music for free. Anymore. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: gotta be tough on an artist out there, record deal
Speaker 3: or not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is for sure.
Speaker 8: And it is a double such sword because like, yeah,
Speaker 8: you can get your stuff out there a lot easier.
Speaker 8: But like when you know you have people if you're
Speaker 8: just you could you don't have to be that great
Speaker 8: of a songwriter musician anymore. You could just be really
Speaker 8: good at making content, right, and then you had develop
Speaker 8: a following and then all these venues or people want
Speaker 8: to book you, or labels will want to sign you,
Speaker 8: you know, just because you have a huge following. You
Speaker 8: don't even have to be good at the music anymore.
Speaker 8: There's a lot of people that are great at both,
Speaker 8: you know. So it's which is kind of the thing,
Speaker 8: but it's one of those things where you know, people
Speaker 8: like me and millions of other musicians you have to
Speaker 8: kind of make a shift to where like you're not
Speaker 8: just focusing on the craft anymore. A lot of it's
Speaker 8: marketing yourself and promoting and you know, trying, you know,
Speaker 8: following these trends and stuff, which I don't really like
Speaker 8: to do, you know, I kind of like to do
Speaker 8: my own thing, which but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is the double stuff it's thing with comedy.
Speaker 3: I look, I mean, I mean, I'm huge in the
Speaker 3: comedy scene. Love, and so I was had a meeting
Speaker 3: with comedy club here in Louisville. Won't name them the
Speaker 3: bunk now, okay, but I said, well, who you have
Speaker 3: coming up? And they you know, I saw one or
Speaker 3: two comedians that new and that. I said, well, who
Speaker 3: are these people? And they said, oh, they're big on TikTok, right,
Speaker 3: and those they're big on tick.
Speaker 2: You're not the demo anymore.
Speaker 3: No, but still, I mean, just because you're big on
Speaker 3: TikTok doesn't mean you're gonna do well.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, you're correct. But all those stores, all
Speaker 1: those guys now are are huge. Yeah, they're huge. They
Speaker 1: have millions of followers. And because we're a fifty I'm
Speaker 1: fifty six year.
Speaker 3: Seventy nine, you know.
Speaker 5: But nostalgia wise, look, how old are you?
Speaker 2: Thirty eight? Okay?
Speaker 5: So did you miss the go to the record store?
Speaker 2: Oh no, okay, all right, okay, all right, I used
Speaker 2: to buy at okay, so I.
Speaker 1: Yes, And everybody's nostalgic and and we want to I
Speaker 1: miss going the record store, spending hours there and flipping
Speaker 1: through albums and then finding, you know, bid in the
Speaker 1: cassette or the CD or whatever, which I do, but
Speaker 1: I also enjoy that I have.
Speaker 2: This thing in my locket. Then I go so there's
Speaker 2: a song in a movie and I go boop. I'm like,
Speaker 2: what's this song? Totally? And then they goes and then
Speaker 2: I downloaded.
Speaker 3: We're just sharing it.
Speaker 2: With a friend.
Speaker 8: You can just hey, check out this new song. Yeah,
Speaker 8: it's just heard it. Yeah, we can instantly shoot it.
Speaker 8: So I'm consuming more.
Speaker 1: Music than I ever have before in my life, but
Speaker 1: I'm spending a tenth of what I've spent in.
Speaker 2: My life, right yeah? Does that makes sense for sure?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, because I mean that's what Spotify for Apple.
Speaker 8: It's like eleven or twelve bucks a month and you
Speaker 8: literally have access to every song that's ever been ever recorded.
Speaker 2: Which is it's can be crazy. I'm guilty of it.
Speaker 2: It's crazy, you know, it's fun.
Speaker 3: It's funny. The band Breckenridge, we're friends with them, and
Speaker 3: boy did they because.
Speaker 8: He became who became heaven Hill Yeah yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 8: yeah Eagles, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he liked them, he liked him. So he goes
Speaker 3: to Son and he says, look here here's the thing.
Speaker 3: Here's what we're gonna do. Your album is going to
Speaker 3: be released not on CDs but digitally. And they said, oh,
Speaker 3: kind of which craft is this?
Speaker 2: They walked away.
Speaker 3: They walked away from it and let's listen.
Speaker 2: They're listening now with their lives. Is one of the
Speaker 2: most talented guys, ripping guitar players.

Speaker 3: and used the studios, but you got a lot of success. Man,
Speaker 3: you played south By Southwest. That's a big deal.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was cool. That kind of happened last minute too.
Speaker 8: Didn't want to do that for a while. Uh not,
Speaker 8: not really, to be honest, because you know, it's just
Speaker 8: kind of after being doing doing the bar gig stuff.
Speaker 8: Like anytime I can get in front of a room
Speaker 8: where people are actually listening excites me.
Speaker 3: You know, it's got to make you feel good. The
Speaker 3: Gibson Guitars reaches out to you and they say, look,

Speaker 3: Right, Hey, Frank Gibson, can you send me no let's
Speaker 3: Paul accidentally put that one on Craig's list.
Speaker 2: So tell people what's your music? What is the genre?
Speaker 8: I call it alternative Southern rock because it kind of goes,
Speaker 8: it goes, you know, there's some stuff that's that's heavy,
Speaker 8: there's some stuff that's, you know, just bluesy rock and roll,
Speaker 8: and then there's some stuff that's like outlaw country even
Speaker 8: singer songwriter kind of goes all over the all over
Speaker 8: the board. But it's it's rootsy, it's you know, it's
