MEET THE MEINERS 🚀 Lou Meiners is the generous, driven, perceptive leader of the 14 Meiners siblings. He was the 1st entrepreneur, 1st CPA, and 1st & only sib to own a jet. Lou added clarity to my claim that he saved my life. ❤️ @840WHAS🎙 https://t.co/VGTdEXWXsM #family pic.twitter.com/0c0YCqtPcu — Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) April 29, 2020 Everyone should be lucky enough to have a big brother who protects, teaches, leads, and smoothes the way for his younger siblings. All of those things happened for the 13 Meiners siblings who were born after Lou Meiners. We couldn't fail because we had a trailblazer clearing the way ahead of us.

My first WHAS Radio guest is still making sausage 35 years later
📻 Today begins my 35th year as afternoon host on @840WHAS. @OldFolksSausage king Allen Purnell Jr., my very first guest in 1985, will join me on the air so we can catch up. 📲 https://t.co/EMYwUGhNZA #loumedia #longevity #radio #localradio #localbiz #sausage pic.twitter.com/45RNs7NIeC — Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) December 2, 2019 Somewhere in the WHAS audio files is a promo that Al Purnell recorded for me on Monday, December 2, 1985 after his appearance on my radio show. In one take, the Shelby County icon barked into the microphone, "Hello friends, Allen Purnell here. Every afternoon I have my tractor radio set to Terr-uh Minur on 84 Dubya H-A-S, cuz he's gooooooooood!" It's still one of the best promos in Louisville radio history. Thanks, Mr.
I need a checkup from the neck up for the mark of the beast
Hey @JoeJacoby66HOG, Thanks for the follow. Now that we're buddies, may I suggest that you follow at least one more account?

Why Kentucky will say no to Joe
If you ever want to know why people in Kentucky don’t trust National Democrats and vote against them, quotes like this are proof positive I too am sick and tired of trying to defend self-righteous, elitist national Democrats https://t.co/cYDh7F0eja — Matt Jones (@KySportsRadio) April 27, 2020 Joe Biden has zero chance of winning in Kentucky. Zero. The Matt Jones statement above is exactly why national Democrats have no influence in Kentucky. Arrogance, condescension, and class warfare are not paths to unity.
Meet my sons Max and Simon Meiners. They’re pretty awesome.
MEET THE MEINERS ❤️❤️ My incredible sons @maxwellmeiners and @simonmeiners on life in a gigantic family. 📻 @840WHAS audio 🎧 https://t.co/QQuSobETgK #flattenthecurve #alonetogether pic.twitter.com/63fJSOcS3Z— Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) April 21, 2020 My sons are clever, creative, and passionate about societal issues. I love when they visit me on the radio or TV. They came by for an extended interview this week. The tweet above links just the Meet the Meiners family segment. The complete interview segment is here.
You don’t need fireworks, fast cars, or twerking ladies. It’s Bruce Springsteen. He communicates alone.
Bruce Springsteen's haunting finish in the Brilliant Disguise video is one of the best pieces of rock & roll visual art ever. Don't @ me. Just a man and his guitar explaining his broken heart. That's solid gold, Jerry!

The last safe snark: women judging men
Best thread ever! Enjoy this thread of women stereotyping men. Had these roles been reversed, the original tweeter and every man who followed would be crushed by the twitter bullies. Carry on, girls! We love your snark. We're men! 5 types of MEN TO AVOID challenge:- male feminists - men who have never shot a gun- men who are too close to their mom - men who don’t workout - men who wear hats with suits https://t.co/jdp4O8qHVG— Amber Athey (@amber_athey) April 22, 2020 The response thread is hilarious! This thread takes care of two of the genders. What about...
