The real Joe B Hall finally appeared on the Larry Minner radio show
Joe B Hall, 1978 national championship coach of the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team, earned yet another honor. His hometown of Cynthiana installed a giant mural of the coach painted onto the side of the local Masonic building. Naturally we had to talk on the radio about fishing, babysitting, working in tobacco fields, and small town fun. We never even got around to basketball. Enjoy. The Beasman is a Kentucky legend and an American treasure.
Let’s go flanker flying
Russia's SU-35 (called Flanker-E here) is the most incredible aerobatic performer to date. Enjoy the ride. For comparison, here is the F-35A, America's most versatile military aircraft. We've come along way, brother. Here's the Wright Brothers Model B, produced between 1910-14.
Tag, you’re it. Is this the new normal?
Welcome to our compassionate city! We respect each other!" Walsh Construction company has completed its work on the $2.3 billion Ohio River Bridges project. Back in early May, the company agreed to scrub away graffiti for 90 days. That window is about to expire. Cleanup duties now fall onto the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Here are photos taken within the past 24 hours in the Spaghetti Junction area, around the adjacent skate park, and a few shots of defaced interstate signs. Generous taxpayers built new infrastructure. Uninvited "artists" soiled the new infrastructure. Who's in charge here? OPTICS: Louisville is an unclean cesspool. There are over 200 museums throughout the metro area where artists can display their genius. Public property belongs

Scotty for life
Bellarmine University awarded a lifetime contract to head basketball coach Scott Davenport, whose teams have made multiple Final Four trips and the 2011 NCAA Division II National Championship. His radio and television appearances are teeming with positive energy. Enjoy his story.

This is what @RealAlexJones rants would sound like as a @boniver song. pic.twitter.com/CYYjgcH3Dq— Super Deluxe (@superdeluxe) July 14, 2017 Best parody ever of paranoid douche nozzle Alex Jones...EVER! Oh, and that Love Jones reference? Not that schlocky movie, baby. THE SONG. Jump on the Soooooooooooooouuuullll Train. BONUS: a rare live performance on Soul Train (most performers lip-synced their tunes)
Steely Dan Johnson: I won’t quit – Metro Council: Yes you will
Beleaguered Louisville Metro Councilman Dan Johnson (D-21) has been asked to resign by his Democrat colleagues. He has until August 1st to resign or they say they will procedurally eject him from office. Johnson was on my WHAS radio show yesterday where he maintained his innocence in multiple sexual harassment allegations made by female government workers. Johnson said that he doesn't understand why this story is still reverberating one month after a councilwoman lodged a complaint against him. When I asked Johnson if he will resign his office, he replied "No...I was elected by the 21st district to serve them for four years and I will do that until my time is up."

The Pols Are Open
Greg Fischer, John Yarmuth, and Matt Bevin were on my radio show back-to-back-to-back today. The mayor and congressmen, both Democrats, discussed a variety of issues. The Republican governor had a significantly different strategy to solve societal problems. AUDIO: Governor Matt Bevin on attacking the pension shortfall, bourbon tariffs, the Mike Pence visit, universal health care, handling haters on Twitter, and imitating Rambo at the Kentucky Speedway. Now here is Rep. John Yarmuth on the Donald Trump Jr email chain with a Russian lawyer, Obamacare, media pursuit of Russia election interference, and renewed Democrat interest in universal health care. Finally, here's Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer on his six point plan to reduce violence.
Not quite The Jacksons but certainly second best in the 70s
Donnie & Marie opened their 1978 TV show with Steely Dan's Reelin' in the Years. It wasn't Steely Dan but it was white bread America. The Osmond family story is pretty compelling. Sometimes nice people win. Enjoy.
