Kruser And Krew 8-12-26

Hi, welcome, Cruiser here at 97.3 FM and 590 a.m. WVLK on this first day of school also happens to be a home day. It is the 12th of August. Wednesday, the 12th of August. In eastern Kentucky school district is banned energy drinks for the upcoming school year. They don't sell energy drinks and vending machines in school. Do they do? They still have vending machines in school. I know for a while back on, I guess when the Obama's weren't office and Michelle Obama, they were all about getting healthier stuff in schools. A lot of schools took out the vending machines, right? Or try to put healthier beverages in the vending machine? Are we back to having Mountain Mike DeWine and energy drinks and energy drinks? Pineville is the school district. Pineville Independent Schools banning energy drinks. A Facebook post says as we begin the new school year, please be aware of a change for the upcoming school year. No energy drinks open or unopened will be permitted on school property during the day. Energy drinks are a safety issue for children, says Superintendent Russell Thompson. Because kids have smaller bodies in developing brains, large amounts of caffeine and sugar can cause fast heart rates, high blood pressure, anxiety, sleep problems, and dangerous heart rhythms. Most health experts state that children should not consume them. Thompson went on to say we have had children drink and energy drink at lunch or breakfast and begin showing symptoms like chest pain, a very fast heartbeat or trouble breathing. We want our students to be safe and as healthy as possible. Lincoln County did a similar thing back in April of 2024 schools in Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Hmm. I wasn't aware of that. There's one independent school district in Texas. They've announced a ban on energy drinks on all of their... campuses, health services director, Krista Ellis, we noticed in our clinics an increase of students visiting for anxiety. They were having jitteriness or were complaining of chest palpitations or chest discomfort. So I guess they bring them from home. I can't imagine that these things are, they're selling these in the vending machines at school. One of the big jokes in the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Jeff Spacoli, played by Sean Penn, ordered a pizza in the right in the middle of class. So then he ends up losing a pizza. Well, anyway, the reason I bring this up nearly one quarter of teens report using mobile food delivery services during school hours. Now, is that delivered to the cafeteria during lunch, or do we have a situation here like with Mr. Hans' class where Spacoli orders a pizza delivered right into the classroom? Nearly one quarter of teens report using mobile food delivery services during pool hours. Okay, got a lot of text to get to. We'll get to those here momentarily. 859-259-359 calls or text. I had a little bit more on this smart glasses thing. Meta-smart glasses are catching on with U.S. police. There's a journalist, a security journalist who I've quoted before, a guy named Ken Clippenstein, who reported that the Department of Homeland Security is developing its own pair of smart glasses. which it plans to use for surveilling the U.S.-Mexican border. Not only that, records indicate that DHS is interested in connecting its smart glasses to a biometric database so they can automatically cross-reference people using facial recognition. There have been separate reports of ICE officers wearing Rayban meta-IIA glasses during raids as well and reports of border control.

surveilling protests with smart glasses. I mean, you're not going to keep these out of the hands of cops either. And as I've said before, these are cheaper than a smartphone. I mean, unless you buy some real used smartphone, but I mean, you can get these smart glasses are $300. I mean, that may sound like a lot, I guess, to it for a pair of glasses, but for what these things do, they're not that expensive. As I said, they're cheaper than most smartphones. So you take all the flock cameras down, so then the cops all end up wearing meta glasses. Which if you want meta, you know all you have to do to get those things to record, just say meta record. Meta take a picture of this. Meta. I mean, it's your own personal genie there and right in your eyewear. So, anyway, smart glasses catching on with police, at least a couple of sheriff's officers in Florida. Bind some for the crew. Question of the day, the call's gone out for election poll workers. Yesterday was National Poll Worker Recruitment Day. And the Fayette County Clerk's office joined the U.S. Election Assistance Commission in recognizing that day, our local office is in need of eligible residents to assist with in-person voting for both the early voting and the Election Day voting. So is this anything you would consider doing? Poll workers are paid up to $260 for a required training and serving a full day on Election Day, a full shift. You've got to be a qualified registered voter. You must be 18 years of age on or before general election day. If you cannot serve, you cannot serve rather if you are a candidate during the election year. You cannot serve if you're the spouse, parent, brother, sister, or child of a candidate who is to be voted for in that precinct. You can serve in other precincts if your spouse or relatives not on the ballot in that precinct. And election officers shall not have changed his or her voter registration party affiliation after December 31st, immediately preceding his or her appointment to serve for the primary or after the second Tuesday and August to serve for the regular election. So if you want to do this, you can sign up by going to go vote kY.gov. Go vote ky.gov. Some people did some voting yesterday. And I think Democrats, boy, you dodged a bullet and you know it. And here's the other thing, too. Again, the polls are way off. The polls showing that the progressive and socialist candidate would be a fairly big winner. And in this particular case, it turned into a close defeat. Now, the progressive candidate, the socialist candidate for the Senate in Wisconsin, or not in Wisconsin, in Michigan. won the race, but Francesca Hong did not. I mean, she was, yeah, a member of the Democratic Socialism, yeah, she adhered to all their principles and everything else, but she never got an endorsement from Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who are probably two of the premier socialists in the United States right now. Why didn't they endorse her? I think for the same reason the Democrats looked at her as a candidate and got scared and said, this woman has an unpleasant personality. She's got broadly unpopular policy preferences.

She refuses to conceal her contempt if you're turned off by her joyless, joyless brand. I think the Thanksgiving thing really hurt her. I mean, because that's something that is, I don't want to, should I say near and dear to all of us? But it's certainly it's something that even non-political types go. She was against what? Thanksgiving. And this repudiation seems to have been reserved only for her because in Minnesota, Bernie Sanders picked for governor won her race. She wants to nationalize the health insurance industry, tear ice apart, restrict the public's right to engage in political speech and all that. But Hong loses. You didn't start a business just to keep the lights on. You're here to sell more today than yesterday. You're here to win. Lucky for you, Shopify built the best converting checkout on the planet. Like the just one tapping, ridiculously fast acting, sky high sales stacking, championed checkouts. That's the good stuff right there. So if your business is in it to win it, win with Shopify.

It was something I always wanted to do. If you show me a clear goal, I'm like, okay, I can do that. Master Chief. He's like, you realize there's about 1% chance that you make it through. 1%. That's all I need Master Chief. My platoon went home early, and I just went up to my chief, and I was like, I'm not going home. Turns out I'm staying. That's when we go to war. Yeah, I was like, okay, I could get used to this. Mike Drop, follow and listen on your favorite platform. And so I think they dodged a bullet. Now they have someone who's, well, he's left of center, but he'll run the guy named David Crowley. He's a Milwaukee County executive. The governor, the retiring or termed out, I guess it was termed out governor of Wisconsin, Tony Evers, put his political chips on the table. He endorsed in campaign a crowd. He had a bunch of people in and out of this race. It was kind of confusing. And so it allowed Francesca Hong to get a lead. But again, the polls are really overestimating the support that even among Democratic primary voters that these candidates have. But they still have logged House primary wins in New York, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Denver. And I'm assuming that they're in districts that are going to be easy to win in November. So the next Congress is going to have. People that, in one case out of New Jersey, a guy who is a character witness for the architect of the First World Trade Center bombing, people there were other people sympathetic with 9-11 attacks. Don't like the Jews, the one candidate that can't even bring herself to say that murderers belong in prison? Where else would they be? Where else do they belong? I know you don't want to execute them. I don't necessarily want to either, but not put them in prison? You're nuts. You're insane. Well, let's see what else elsewhere yesterday. South Carolina, Trump, Darling Graham, there's a runoff, she'll have to. She didn't get 50%. You know what's interesting. Oh, okay, now this is going to be good down there in North Carolina.

In the South Carolina runoff, you know who's involved in this thing is Nikki Haley. Nikki Haley, of course, who ran, tried to run against Trump in, what, in 2024, served in the first Trump administration, as you'll remember. She is supporting the candidate that is going to face the sister of Lindsey Graham. And she plans on pulling out the stops. Trump supports the other candidate in the race. Ralph Norman is the guy who will run against the sister of Lindsey Graham, Darling Graham. Darling Graham's never held elected office. Norman backed Nikki Haley over Trump when she ran for president. And so Haley's going to be involved in Norman's campaign. So that ought to be interesting. A couple of political, well, I don't know, enemies or combatants, I guess. So anyway, that's just a little quick synopsis of some of the...

results from last night. But Hong never got, there was, there was concern about her as a candidate, that she was a bad candidate, that she was going to lose. And again, you don't get Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I mean, she, she adhered to pretty much anything that the Democratic Socialists. Except for maybe the way she talked about holidays. They may not talk about it so much like that publicly, other socialists. But the way she campaigned the Thanksgiving thing, I mean, again, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez must have saw something that convinced them that if they endorsed Hong, they would regret it somewhere down the road. So they didn't. And Wisconsin Democrats, again, have to be breathing a sigh of relief. Because here again, Hong was going to be kind of like that Graham Platner candidate where you never knew when a controversial social media post from the past was going to come back on you. Let's grab a phone call. This is Jerry on 97.3 FM and 590 a.m. WV.L. Hey, Jerry says, good afternoon, cruiser. How are you, Jerry? What's up, babe? What's happening? Hey, man, you went back to the classic. You know, Spicoli referenced you in that movie once. He did. Yeah, he said as soon as I cruise history, I'm not coming to your side of the building. I love that, but I like that movie. And Cameron Crow, of course, was the guy that directed the movie. I just put his autobiography in my Kindle because I'm going to be doing some flying over the next couple of months. So I got a couple of books on my Kindle, and I want to read that. That fast time's at Ridgemont High. That's one of those great movies to go back and revisit. Every now and again, and that's a classic scene with Sean Penn in an early role as kind of a stoner high school student. Second thing is, well, I tell you, I know Bill's coming up. It's been a long time since I've seen some torrential rain like that, man. It was nuts. It was nuts. And the thunder and lightning, man. I mean, that was intense last night. And again, a fair amount of it this morning. As I said, it woke me up about 4.15 this morning. And it just kept pounding. And I think we've got more to come. We'll find out from Bill in a few minutes. But I think there's more coming. Yeah, I was getting ready to ask. I'm on the road. He said we probably got more coming. But it looks like. Man, it's got tough. Wow, well, everybody be safe out there. Appreciate you taking a call, buddy. Have a good one. You be safe too, Jerry. Thanks, buddy. Three days. You know, another thing about Hong. And again, I think the Democrats really dodged a bullet by the fact that she lost the Democratic primary for governor. Brandon Finnegan of the Decision Desk HQ once said Wisconsin is mayonnaise on wonder white bread white. 85% white, 78% if you subtract Hispanics. And they're not progressives like the ones in Madison, the Capitol. They're working class Democrats from Wausau and LaCross, Milwaukee. They're also black. That's another demographic that was non-enthusiastic about Ms. Hong.

So this was not going to be line up well for the Democrats. And I thought this was interesting too. Republican-affiliated PACs lined up to run television ads, boosting Hong in the primary. That doesn't surprise me. But here's how they spent the money. Three and a half million dollars denouncing Hong is too liberal and dangerously liberal. That's what they used to attract Democrats to vote for Hong. Huh. So you don't run a positive ad about Hong. You, you as a Republican-affiliated political action committee run a really negative ad against Hong, knowing that will motivate Democratic voters to vote for? Because they wanted her to win. But that's interesting. These aren't puff pieces to boost her. No, they trash her. Ah, she's too liberal. She's dangerously liberal. And that attracts voters on the other side. And Hong got more paid media or free media from her enemies than she did on anything she could afford. It didn't raise much money either. That's the other issue there. Let's get some text messages. I got a lot of them here on drag racing. A committee on councils tabled this thing because there's some council people that think the penalties are too strict. They got to be strict. I've said for a long time that littering should be a $500 fine, and that includes cigarette butts. Who ever gets ticketed for livery? Does anybody ever get ticketed for littering? I've asked that question before, and I've never had anybody say, yeah, I got I got pop for a littering thing. Ford's have to race on the streets to win. They lose to Chryslers and Chevys at the drag strip. Okay, well, then we'll let Ford's race. Nobody else.

No, no, no, no, no. Let's see here from Paul. All those storage buildings across from Sam's Club on Nicholasville Road used to be a drag strip. We used to go on Sunday to watch. Maybe somebody should look into a new one. Anna says if they start paying administrators so much, or if they stopped paying administrators so much, they could provide supplies for teachers in the classroom and they could pay the teachers. Way too much. Administrations over two-thirds of the budget in the Fayette County Schools. I went through the list that always goes out to parents, and it's supplies that the school should be buying, not parents and not teachers. Payette County schools do not buss our children to the nearest schools. In the name of political correctness, they make the kids get up earlier and cross the city. More traffic turning tax funds into diesel fuel, diesel fuel into air pollution. Are the children better off because we spend the funds? this way. Dave says, let's sue the flock camera CEO for producing a device that violates your Fourth Amendment rights against unlawful search and seizure. I hope they're, well, are you being, you're not being searched. Your car is being photographed on a public road, and that's fair game. They're not in your car. Now, they start getting in your car. Well, then that might be something that would require at least a warrant. in my view, but I don't know where the unlawful search and seizure is. They're taking a photograph of a part of your car that's on a public roadway. They could take a picture of your face if they want to, and they can do that because you're on a public thoroughfare. Dave says, I hope there is an attorney listening that has the courage to stand up and not cave to the majority. cruiser i need somebody to pay my speeding tickets since my truck went faster than 55 uh people uh not taking responsibility for their own yeah i mean you got one council member on the drag racing thing lamenting oh man a thousand dollars uh and you lose your car for 30 days you know there's a lot of people struggling in this economy and they can't be without their car for 30 then don't drag race that's pretty simple that that's how you avoid all that get up and buggy okay And it's pretty deep. There's a gas station that will save you money on gas if you shake your booty. We got that coming up with Bill Mack first. We want to tell you Bill, sponsored by Senatorgy Home. No one can control the weather outside your home, but Sennergy can control the weather inside your home. Sennergy Home, Lexington's heating and cooling experts. Now the guy that's been turning off all your power, Bill Mac. Hello, Bill. Hello, your cruiserness. Was it a late night last night? It looked like it wasn't because it, you know, in my neck of the woods, I guess, maybe it was still raining a little bit when I fell asleep, but then there seemed to be a lull and then about 4 or 415 it kicked up again. We had to monitor the flood potential in southern Kentucky until a little bit after midnight. And then we were watching those storms that you just mentioned that came through the 4 o'clock hour. Those were forming up around Indianapolis at that point. So I cut out of here. It was 1230, 1245.

And those storms were supposed up like by Shelbyville, Indiana. And so I knew they were going to be a fun time for Tom. Oh, yes, Tom Ackerman this morning. We're not done. We have more storms coming for late this afternoon and this evening. Yep, we are watching a line right now that is south of Cincinnati, so it's running through parts of Grant and Owen County, so it's up there by Dry Ridge, extends back all the way along I-71 to LaGrange. There's more rain back in Indiana, but the bigger, severe threat, similar to what we had yesterday, and if you've been watching this week, we've been talking about how these clusters are leapfrogging. where Sunday night into early Monday, they went through Ohio and West Virginia. Then Monday, it was southwest of that. The storms yesterday, the first wave kind of clipped far eastern Kentucky. Then the ones that came through late yesterday came through I-75 and West generally, although, again, my house actually got clipped pretty good. I was one of those folks without power. Hey, the weather guy's power went out. Yeah, okay. Is it back on? It's back on, yeah, I got back on. Rearranged my deck nicely. We had a lot of wind come through. But again, each wave has been progressively southwest, and that's how these systems work. That's how the atmosphere tries to fight back against a big heat ridge. thunderstorm clusters that move northwest to southeast, but then the overall pattern shifts them southwest with each progressive wave until the ridge decides, okay, I've had enough and starts fighting back. That happens late this week. Late this week. All right. All right, we'll get the updated three-day forecast coming up here, but be prepared. More storms are coming for us for this evening. All right, this gas station is in Saratoga County, New York. It's the Sonoco of Half Moon. And they came up with this idea where if you're willing to dance, you'll get a fuel discount. One elated woman said, I save $15. And this is a truck stop. Now, of course, they're going to record this and then put it up on social media. Denise LaPoint's getting down and getting funky. Netted nearly 10 million views across social media. She said she saved about $15 on gas. Wow. Paula Sertoni, the station's social media manager. Wait a minute. There's a Sonoco station. I hope that she does more than just manage the social media for this gas station. She's the mastermind behind the trending hoot. She tells the New York Post that she, along with her store manager, Eva Marie, and the rest of the staff, are happy to offer their regulars and new comers some much-needed relief. It's our goal to treat customers the best we can, she said. The number one complaint we hear from people is that gas prices are just too high, so we wanted to do something to alleviate that.

So they'll put on a jam like Whitney Houston's I want to dance with somebody. Ask patrons if they want to shake a leg for at least 15 seconds on discount day and you'll get a discount. If you shake it in the gas station. They're in line of the gas station. Dance for a discount. So, would you dance for a discount in a gas station? If you could get... Well, I've been known to dance when I'm trying to, when I have gas or something, but that's a whole different story. Oh, well, no, no, I said getting gas. Oh, oh. Not when you have it, no. Oh, well, yeah. Yeah, no, no, no. How much would I say? Yeah. Yeah. And for me, there's this terrible thing called YouTube. Oh, yeah, they're going to post it. Yeah. Well, sure. Oh, yeah. That's what I, yeah, now. Yeah, yeah. There's where there's a problem. Yeah, I don't want to end up on inside edition. I'll dance, but you can't post it. Well, they're going to post it. You know, they want to get the publicity out of the thing. That's why they're giving the discount. That's why they're doing this. We talk about the Sonoco Station and, you know, where was it somewhere? Yeah. Saratoga, New York. Saratoga, New York, someplace I've never been. There's a massive hair ball that's been rolling through the streets of New York City this week. Oh. In fact, they're doing it today. They did it today. The tumble hair is what it's called. A larger-than-life rolling hair ball making its way. I don't know if there's a real hair, probably fake hair, but it's huge. You see a picture of this. It's rolling through New York City neighborhoods today that will end its journey in the meatpacking district. It's a giant fuzzy... Where you want a hairball. Yeah, right. Around my meat. The giant fuzzy creation is made to represent the equivalent of 161 billion strands of hair. And this is all being done to promote a new hair care brand called K-18. And this figure of 161 billion strands of hair is a figure that K-18 says corresponds to the number of hairs that New Yorkers could retain if they use the new future IQ biometric hair longevity serum. I think you threw every buzzword possible into that. I know. It's $120. Wow. The Futural Q serum, which the company says is designed to address premature hair aging, including shedding. Can I use it on my dog? Grain and scalp aging.

So there's this hairball to promote all that. You said it was fake hair, right? I guess it's fake hair. Did that make it a toupee ball? A toupee ball? Maybe so. Maybe so. And then they're going to have a big, oh, it's going to be a big celebration when the hair ball gets to the meatpacking district, product demonstrations, a claw machine filled with K-18 prizes. And a giant cat to cough it up. Yeah. That's that where it came from, I guess. They're one of the Macy's balloons. Maybe it must have been a tiger or something that coughed it up or a lion that coughed it up. Okay, folks, I know you've been waiting for this. Here it comes. The Rock. Ladies and gentlemen, you know The Rock, right? Dwayne Johnson. The Rock sings. This is The Rock, a song dedicated to his daughters called Your Dad. Okay. He wants to explore a music career. Of course he does. Yeah. He wants to make old school soul with some country flavor. He's no John Schneider. John Snyder, Duke's a Hazard. Wow. Oh, yeah, he had a top ten hit. Well, yeah. So did Hutch from Starsky and Hutch. Wasn't that to David's sole character? He had a big hit. Yeah. David, yeah, David Sol had one. Bruce Willis had one. Bobby Sherman, Eddie Murphy. Yeah. So why not The Rock making some old school soul with some country flavor? You know, a few years ago, they were talking about the rock running for president. I guess we're dumb. He's like Jethro, Bow Dean. We're changing careers all the time. Now, I don't want to be, I don't want to be U.S. President anymore. I want to be a music star. So there's The Rock with a brand new song. Roger Federer has lost at least $52 million in stock. Wow. Wow. How can you lose that much money? 20 Grand Slam champion owes 2.5% of the sneaker brand on, which plummeted 19% on Tuesday, according to Forbes. The former Swiss tennis player, 45 years old now, has a net worth of $952 million. It was estimated last year to be $1.1 billion. The high-performance Swiss sneaker brand was founded in Zurich in 2019 and released The Roger. A collection of shoes in 2025 leading to a massive surge in the company's value. Federer joined the company's co-owner, then shifted his involvement to fashion consulting. But, man, his fortune's dropping like a rock. Yeah, with that kind of loss, is what are you going to be teaching lessons over at the parking wreck? Down here to Lexington Tennis Center, Roger Federer. Yeah, sign up to get lessons. The calendar's filling fast. For the first time. It's worth $900 million. I mean, God. I mean, yeah, geez. Better stop the bleeding there, Raj.

For the first time in over 15 years, 7-Up is changing its recipe. They say the new version will be hitting stores soon. It's no longer going to be a lemon-lime soda. Instead, it will be a lime lemon soda. Oh, well. I guess is that how they're changing up the formula? Is that kind of like, you know, the left twicks and the right twigs? I guess. Or the Kit-Cat or whatever, yeah. They're doing across the full lineup, including zero sugar, cherry seven up, cherry zero sugar. So not lemon, lime, lime, lemon. Wow. You know, and Coke messed with their formula, you know what happened. That didn't work out very well. But I can't imagine you're just switching it around. I don't know. I need a social. Mike Drop, hosted by former Navy SEAL, Mike Ridland. What is your take? Was it what you expected? Oh, it was the best thing ever. It was something I always wanted to do. If you show me a clear goal, I'm like, okay, I can do that. Master Chief. He's like, you realize there's about 1% chance that you're making it through. 1%. That's all I need Master Chief. My platoon went home early, and I just went up to my chief, and I was like, I'm not going home. Turns out I'm staying. That's when we go to war. Yeah, I was like, okay, I could get used to this. Mike Drop, follow and listen on your favorite platform. media food influencer to test this for me. Oh, that same whiny voice they all use. Yeah, yeah, and they talk a mile a minute. I found one. Bailey Finch tested it. Yeah, I can imagine where you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. My God, all those influencers talk like that. She kind of made me miss the rock singing. Yeah, she was so hyper. We may need another mellow moment here. Yeah. Just take a moment, chill. Just take a deep breath and chill with the rock. Okay, there we go. Playing your mellow hits, the rock. The rock. Oh my gosh. Yeah, that woman talked way too fast. But yeah, you know, how do you tell the difference? All they did was switch the lime and lemon around. I don't know that they messed with a formula any more than that. Well, it was last time we talked about seven up. Uh, never. Yeah. Mission accomplished. Yeah, that's true. Hey, you're not paranoid. People are looking at you. 89% of men have checked out or compared their naked bodies, yeah, to other guys in the locker room shower. I can guarantee. No, I can guarantee you, I don't. And I'm not interested in seeing you prancing around naked, but yet. A lot of guys, I see it, I was at the Y today. I mean, there's guys that seem to want to just sit on the bench naked and look at their phone or walk around naked. And I'm, you know, I'm not, no, I'm not checking you out comparing you to me. You're getting out of your spandex and after that Pilates thing. And so, yeah. And I'm getting, I'm getting, I'm not sitting there looking at you going, gee, if I only had that guys, no, I'm not doing that.

I don't even think I make eye contact in those places. I mean, no. I usually don't. No, what I run into in the morning, you've got a lot of guys, too, that are retired. They got all day. I don't. Yeah. You're a working man. I'm there to work. That's right. I'm there to work. Five things nobody reads the instructional manuals for. Well, no guy does that anyway. No, uh-uh. Hair dryers. Yeah, really, what are you going to tell me in that booklet you've sent with the hair dryer? Don't use it in the bathtub? Got it. Yeah. Tesla, simple to drive. Step one, open the door. Step two, get inside. Step three, drive till it explodes. office chairs. The fun of owning one is... Would they come with instructions? I guess. I never read them. The fun of owning one is spending five hours fumbling with all those levers under your butt until you reach high level with your computer or you may never still reach eye level with your computer. Did you know the big mouth Billy Bass came with an instruction manual? No, I did not. Never read it. Neither did anybody else. according to this little survey here coffee machines hey you know i know where to put the cakeups Okay. Kind of easy. You better read the coffee machine one, but a lot of people don't. Electric toothbrush, just insert the part that vibrates. That's all you got to do. Yeah, yeah. Maybe you need to read where to insert it if you do. Consult the manual. Otherwise. It goes to one of those lessons in life. When all else fails, read directions. Read direct. Get out the directions or get to YouTube and find a video. Finally a swing set. Well, you know, it was always fun with a swing set. You didn't really fasten it into the ground. You'd swing so high that you saw the swing set actually rise up from the ground. So, you know, that might give this generation a much-needed toughening up. Yeah, they've got foam pads underneath their swing sets. Now. Yeah, no, no, you need concrete under there. No, you need to get your butt on that aluminum seat when the heat indexes 100 degrees and no concrete. No, we don't put the post in the ground. And just watch that thing waffle back for. Jump off the swing like and pretend you can fly. Did that, did that. Oh, yeah. You used to do that all the time. Yes, sir. All right, let's check out the three-day forecasting. As we were talking about earlier, some storms are coming. Once again, what's the timeline you think, Bill? Timeline is going to be more...

Getting into the central end to Lexington, let's put it, let's see, it's 5 o'clock now. Sometime between 6 and 7, it looks like, for the main line to get here. It's not of the caliber of yesterday. Yesterday was a dur ratio that came through. It was about 600 mile long path of damage. It started in Iowa, finished southeast Kentucky, northern Tennessee. So an impressive array. There are several reports of 90-mile-an-hour winds out of it. Top wind speed in Kentucky was 80 miles an hour up in Carlisle. So again, really a remarkable storm system that came through. This is just... thunderstorms coming through. I don't think we have severe. No, technically, we are under a severe thunderstorm watch. If we do, we're going to hit the low-end threshold. This is not the hurricane force winds of yesterday. So the low-end threshold still is formidable, but again, not to the caliber of what we saw yesterday when these things do arrive. But heavy rain, I think, is a bigger threat. We have already had from this system 3.58 inches of rain. That is essentially, we're already above our normal for the entire month of August. We are in 11th place on our summer rainfall, so we've got plenty of time to get into the top 10. So, again, there's been a lot of water, and there's a lot of water still coming. Man, that's pretty big number. So we're over three and a half inches for August so far. Yes, three and a half inch, no, three and a half inches in the last 24 hours. Oh, in the last 24 hours. Excuse me. 97.3 FM and 590 a.m. W. W. Okay, Dr. All righty cruiser. We'll see you tomorrow. Bill Mack, Chief Meteorologist from the LAX-18 Storm Tracker Weather Center. Rocky Atkins has raised a million dollars already in the opening weeks of the gubernatorial campaign. That's a pretty significant milestone. I think, I think Lieutenant Governor Coleman's going to have her work cut out for her with Rocky Atkins. We'll see. Atkins and, of course, the lieutenant governor running for governor in what will be a very, very interesting primary next year. I don't, we haven't, we haven't seen one like this on the Democratic side in, in a while, have we? Maybe we have. I don't know, but two from the same administration, two high-ranking officials from the same administration, and of course both are going to say that they're the best to carry on the Andy Beshear administration, and they're going to want to keep carrying that banner because the governor has been consistently popular. in this state. Mr. Atkins called the financial support truly humbling. The musical mash unit. Rod Stewart has canceled tours now. His tour dates for the rest of the year following a coronary stent procedure. The news comes just days after the singer scheduled, by the way, had postponed, rather, a scheduled show for Riverbend this past weekend, citing a minor medical procedure. Well, it wasn't so minor. He's off the stage now for the rest of the year.

Mike Drop, hosted by former Navy CEO, Mike Ridland. How would you characterize your prowess? I'd say my style is that I just kind of outwork everybody until I get there, because I'm not a quitter. It's just you. It's yourself. Everything else is team-oriented. The motivation, it was a sort of anger at myself for being weak. That ends up being the driving factor. That anger, that pride, that ego, I think it's a muscle. It gets stronger. When you take that voice seriously, you start to change your life. Mike Drop, follow and listen on your favorite platform.
