99 segments505 Nashville's morning news on Super Talk 997. WTN, good morning to your friends and hope you are doing well. And welcome on end to a Friday. It is August 21st. So I guess what we're doing, Sam, is musical chairs. So Weaves is out today. So Jay Harper went to go work in the afternoon. You are working in the morning. And Joan, we'll be back on Tuesday. So. RJ Garner or RJ is running the board this morning and you listening on the radio and watching on YouTube and Facebook and all that. Thank you very much for being here. It is indeed August 21st of 2026. There is a lot going on today. I'm listening to Sam's report on what is going on with the Carmelo Anthony trial. You know, they're asking for a new trial. And so we're finding out a lot of new information, disturbing information, not only about Carmelo Anthony, but also the victim, Austin Metcalf. This is all part of the evidence that apparently is now coming out in this request for a new trial. So first, I'm going to talk about the new evidence regarding Carmelo Anthony. And I got to tell you, it is disturbing. These are text messages that were sent by Carmelo Anthony. Listen to this. One of the text messages that he sent said, I'm low-key on the verge. Now, part of this text messages was a photograph of a knife alongside the message. I'm low-key on the verge. Now, I don't know exactly what I'm low-key-on-the-verge means. I'm assuming, though, that it means that he's sort of just, you know, laying low, but he's got the knife in his bag and he's ready to deal with whatever it is that he has to deal with. So that's number one. Number two, and by the way, the state prosecutor, God by the name of Bill Werski or Worski, whatever, he says that that text message and others are evidence that Anthony was in a violent state of mind before the stabbing occurred. Dare I say he was thinking about killing someone. There was also a stalking complaint from Carmelo Anthony's girlfriend, where Sky telling the court that Anthony's former girlfriend, Valeria Perez, visited school officials on the morning of April 2nd of 2025, saying that she had ended the relationship and alleged that Carmelo Anthony had been stalking her. According to the prosecutor, Austin Metcalf, was killed about an hour later. Here's another one. Licking the blood off the blade. State prosecutor Bill Worstke, again, telling the court investigators, recovered a text message in which Carmelo Anthony allegedly fantasized about stabbing someone and licking the blood off the blade. Prosecutors argued the message reflected a violent obsession that predated the fatal confrontation.
That does sound a little creepy. That does sound a little violent. It does sound like Carmelo Anthony. He was looking for a fight and he was in a violent state of mind. At least that's what it seems like to me. According to the Daily Mail, where Sky said during the hearing, there is a text message where he fantasizes about stabbing someone and licking the blood off of the blade, apparently as well. His parents. According to the new evidence, and again, this is Carmelo Anthony in their quest for a new trial, they're also saying, that his parents sought a special program for Carmelo for children who struggled to control their aggression. The prosecutor also claimed Anthony had a history of initiating fights. According to Worstke, again, the state prosecutor, Carmelo Anthony's parents enrolled him in that special LSU program for kids who had trouble controlling their anger and keeping their hands to themselves while they were living. in Baton Rouge. So I don't know about you, friends, but that sounds a little disturbing. Now let's talk about Austin Metcalf because there's some allegations. Not some allegations. These are part of the official record when he was a juvenile. And it's not pretty. allegations of racist graffiti, allegations of saying things that were incredibly racist as well. And there are juvenile records of bullying, again, of the racist graffiti, graffiti regarding the N-word. He was arrested in elementary school for shoving a girl to the ground. There were other reported incidents as well. Eventually admitted that he had some anger issues and he was consumed by addiction. He also, if I'm not mistaken, utilized the term lust. And so Austin Metcalf eventually admitting to a church group that, yeah, he had some problems. Now, the reason why Austin Metcalf's behavior was not brought up in the original trial. And the reason why the text messages were not brought up in the original trial as well is because the two sides had an agreement. And that agreement was, and they call it a gentleman's agreement, was that this was all apparently according to the attorneys, not necessarily relevant. I would say that clearly these text messages from Carmelo Anthony were relevant. I could also say, okay, and make the argument, okay, then you can talk about Austin Metcalf and, you know, some of the things that as part of his record that he did in the past, was that relevant to the fight? Was it relevant to Austin Metcalf's murder? The fact that he had...
racist graffiti in his past or the fact that he had been, you know, bullying or shoving a girl or other reported incidents as well. Does that have any indication or anything to do with his murder? I don't believe that it does. I don't think that it does. Because Carmelo Anthony, regardless of his skin color, regardless of anything else, he was sitting underneath that tent, the tent where his school was not supposed to be and he was not supposed to be. And he was sitting there. And his parents, and what did we all say when we're talking about this episode, what did we all say about Carmelo Anthony? It seemed like he was trying to initiate or instigate or provoke. some sort of a reaction, and he got a reaction from Austin Metcalf. And I believe that Austin Metcalf would have reacted regardless as to whether or not Carmelo Anthony was white or black or whatever. But Carmelo Anthony seems to me he provoked it. Seems to me like he was in a violent state of mind. His girlfriend had just broke up with him. He said that he was low-key on the verge with a photograph of the knife in his bag. You know, it doesn't excuse racist graffiti and the other things that Austin Metcalf did. You know, that is clearly bad behavior, but did it have anything to do with his murder? I don't think so. The U.S. Soccer Podcast. These players are battered and exhausted, but you don't hurt like this if you don't care about this team, about this country, about this game. You can feel the intensity, the goals, the energy that, wow, look at us. Here in the U.S., I have got some news for you. There's so much more to come. My name is Megan Klingberg, and we're just getting started. The U.S. Soccer Podcast, presented by Henkel. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Did Carmelo Anthony even know Austin Metcalf or those allegations? No. Carmelo Anthony didn't. They didn't know each other. So for me, a number of things can be true. Number one, yeah, Austin Metcalf did some stuff that, you know, if my son did that, I'd be horrified. The other things that can be true as well is that despite that, clearly, obviously, Austin Metcalf, he didn't deserve to be murdered. The other thing that can be true? Carmelo Anthony. He was absolutely in a violent state of mind. He was absolutely, in my opinion, trying to provoke or initiate a fight. His parents knew. that he was trying to initiate fights. That's why they enrolled him in that special class or program at LSU, because he had a history of initiating fights. And part of initiating fights is provoking people. So, yeah, I think this evidence, the text messages from Carmelo Anthony, I'm low-key on the verge with the photograph of that knife.
The stalking complaint from his girlfriend, the fact that she had broken up with him on that same day that Austin Metcalfe was murdered, and licking the blood off the blade as he seemingly fantasized about stabbing someone, all of that is absolutely relevant to what we saw and what happened underneath that tent in Frisco, Texas. So if you have any comment on this, the super text line is open. 615737-97-9986. 615-3-7-37 W-WTN. It is 515. All right, so Sam is getting ready to do the traffic, right? So time to check the roads on WTN. Yeah, still have that closure. I-24 eastbound between Hickory Hollow Parkway and Old Hickory Boulevard. It's closed for a crash investigation. They were doing road work this morning and someone crashed into the construction area. That is our only point of concern this morning. And just a reminder that the Tennessee State Fair is still ongoing out in Lebanon. Got your traffic every 10 minutes every morning on Super Talk 997 WTN. All right. So I want to get this straight. So, Sam, you are doing traffic and news. Yeah. RJ's running the board. Jay, who is filling in for Joan, is now in the afternoon. Yep. And Weaves is out today. Yes. Okay, so I think we got all that straight. Your first newscast was Nails. Nice job, Sam. Thank you. So, I know it's, this is confusing for all of us involved, but that's okay. And RJ, thank you for showing up this morning. Hey, I'm just happy to be here. Mm-hmm. And insider baseball, as you like to call it? Yes. Your camera's down again. Okay, good. But I'm going to fix it. All right, good. Guys, don't worry. The YouTube chat already blamed Joan for breaking it. You know what? Not even here. Yeah, I was going to say, Jay Jones, the only one that we cannot blame and me. So, because I wasn't here either, in shock or of all shock. The third day in a row, we show up and we've got some kind of issue. By the way, so RJ, you need to turn your mic up a little bit. Levels all over the place this morning, so I'm going to go and throw everybody under the bus. Who can I blame for the camera being down? Sam, anybody in particular? China. China. We can blame China. Do you know what's so bizarre? Then I promise I'll get back to content. Do you know what's so bizarre is that the other day was it Monday that my camera was down, Sam? So Monday my camera is down. We had great numbers. That's the weird thing. It was like, oh, okay, Mandis's ugly arse face is not on the stream. Well, then it's safe to go look at it then. And everybody went to go look at the YouTube. camera video thing. So anyway, whatever.
So fix it, don't fix it. Call IT, call engineering, don't call them, whatever. I've had it with the equipment. Anyway, moving right along. It is 517, Nashville's morning news on Super Talk, 997. WTN. Supertext line is open 615737-9-8986, 6157-37 WTT. Just to kind of let you know where we are going today, you heard the red-eyed guys talking about this. The fake news got a very real punishment. The New York Times. Now has to pay over $9 million in damages after an Alabama jury found that they identified the wrong guy in an Alabama murder. This guy was a basketball player. And... How many times do we have to hear this where the New York Times, they had, I guess, an anonymous source, and the anonymous source was very wrong. And so now this is the first time in 50 years that the New York Times has lost a defamation lawsuit. And now this guy, Kai Spears. $9 million richer. New York Times, they're trying to decide whether or not, and they'll tell you the full story coming up, but the New York Times is trying to decide, okay, what do we want to do here? Do we want to actually try and appeal this to a higher court, or do we just say, screw it, and we're going to pay the money? Because this guy, the Times reporter, Billy Witts, he trusted a source. And ultimately his source, and oh, Billy there, he was wrong. And this guy's life, this guy, Kai Spears, his life was ruined. He was named as the guy in this murder. By the New York Times, he had multiple threats from the like of Twitter, Instagram, people telling him to go kill himself, people calling him a murderer. And he was just, his life was absolutely ruined. He says, I did nothing wrong. He wasn't even in the car at the time. There were other guys in the car. He was identified as being in the car and he wasn't even in the car. The report in the New York Times was 100% inaccurate. And it took them months. to finally admit that they had made a mistake. Now, this is, you know, in recent history, the New York Times, the old gray lady, right, had a lot of issues, New York Times in the last several months. So we'll go over some of them. You know, part of this discussion, I will say, is newsrooms are bare these days. Newsrooms, they don't. You know, they don't have any veteran reporters anymore in the sense that, okay, so what's happening in the journalism business? What's happening in the journalism business is, you know, the people, the reporters that have a lot of experience and they have, you know, proper perspective, well, guess what's happening to them? They're getting fired.
newsrooms are getting downsized. And so now they have the younger reporters that are in there, and they don't have the experience that the old guard does. And so the old guard, because they got downsized, now you've got these youngsters in there, and they don't know what the hell they're doing. They don't have, you know, oftentimes. They don't have the proper perspective. They don't have the news chops, and they don't have the ability to do journalism the way that it's really supposed to be done because these days, unfortunately, These younger journalists, they don't look at it the same way as the old guard. These younger journalists, they're all about agenda. No, I don't know exactly what happened in this case, and I don't know exactly how they got it so abhorrently wrong on this murder case where they now have to pay a $9 million judgment. But we'll get into some of this and a whole lot more straight ahead. Also, the reunion that no one saw coming, that is something we'll cover in the 6 o'clock hour. Here's the, I'm going to give you a hint. Donald Trump. And the guy that called Donald Trump a Cheeto-dusted cartoon villain are apparently now friends again. It is shocking that I woke up to this story. It is all straight ahead. 522, Nashville's morning news on Super Talk 997. WTN. Sam has the news coming up at 530, Sam. Yeah, coming up, Dan, a Nashville man may catch a break. He doesn't deserve, according to some. And a stellar example of why I don't ride the fair rides. That and more coming up at 530 on Super Talk in 997 WTN.
527, Nashville's morning news on Super Talk, 997. WTN, good morning, 615737-9986. By the way, a great weekend of weather ahead. Today, high of about 90 degrees, possible rain, Saturday, sunny, and 91, possible rain. But Sunday, no rain, a high of 90, and the humidity over the next three days. is going to get consistently lower. So it sounds like if you want to do some outdoor activities, Sunday is going to be the day to do it. By the way, I love this 4702. Hey, Mandis, PSA, don't ride the swings at the state fair. Sam's going to be reporting on this. Y'all remember a couple of days ago when we were talking about the state fair? What did I say? I said, I never, ever, ever ride the rides at the state fair because they're rickety. Dude, I wouldn't, I don't trust Universal Studios, man. Like, I got, I got severe coaster anxiety. Well, so Universal Studios and Disneyland, those are all fine well and good. Until they're not. It's just, it's just, you're a lot of fun, Sam. Final Destination ruined. roller coasters for an entire generation of people well no and i i do get that but i mean this this video is uh is crazy so what happened was and sam i don't mean to blow your i've got some video here i don't mean to blow your bit but basically what happened is and sam's going to be reporting on this but basically what happened at the wilson county state fair is i don't know what ride you call this but it's the ride where the these people are like on a swing and they're going round and round and round. And so the swing lowered them into the metal gate around the ride. And so I'm just telling you know, if you're a guy, that could do some serious damage if you know what I'm talking about. And so people are, their legs are running across the, you know, the metal gate. I mean, I don't understand how this happened because this is a ride that... I mean, they do this ride every year all the time. I mean, it's a very popular ride. So they close the ride, obviously, but... I don't know. Sam will tell you in the newscast if anybody was hurt. But it's crazy. So Sam's got that story straight ahead. Supertext line is open. 615737-99-86. 6157-37-W-TN. Should we do a daily Dan poll? RJ who's in for, well, RJ's in for Sam, who's in for whatever. RJ, you want to do a daily Dan poll real quick? Sure. What poll are we doing? On YouTube, do you feel safe? on fair rides. I want to know, do you feel safe on fair rides or do you ride the fair rides? You figure it out. But I just want to know because of this situation at the Wilson County Fair. This looks horrifying, by the way. I don't know if anybody was seriously hurt, but I'm curious to know where people are on the fair rides. It is 530. Supertext line is open. 615-737-9986. Got a lot more straight ahead on WTN.
537, Nashville's morning news on Super Talk, 997, W10. Good morning to your friends. Hope you are doing well. And welcome on in for all the people that are asking regarding the video. Wait, turn that down a little bit there, RJ? Ady boy. For those people that are asking on the supertext line about the YouTube video, it is not working this morning again. We're just going to move on. It's all fine well and good. The engineers and everybody will work on it at some point over the weekend. All right. So it is 538. It is time for... All right, so with Joe and out of town, and Jay is, of course, are working in the afternoon show because Weaves is gone. Sam is doing the news, but we are still doing Sam's world. So, Sam, the first story that you have, you can go ahead and you can set it up. All right, which one are we rolling with? I'm just going on order. The one that says then and now. Oh, my goodness. All right. So, as people have seen, Chris Hand did a great job yesterday if you were listening from 9 to 12 covering the Lindsay Clancy murder trial and how people are coming out in support of this woman when they probably shouldn't be. And this is compared to Susan Smith, who in 1994 drove her car into a body of water with her sons locked in it and then blamed it. on, you know, a random man. She was part of depression and all that. Well, yeah, she did. She blamed Susan Smith. Yeah. So this is the contrast of the Clancy supporters to what mothers were saying about Susan Smith a little over 30 years ago. All right. So this is the news report. Make sure my audio's up. RJ, make sure my audio's up. Okay, so is my audio not up there, RJ? There shouldn't take a tragedy, rather, for people to take mental health seriously. Now, those supporters, they are starting to clear out, but they were gathered just behind that yellow tape this morning as Lindsay Clancy was brought here. Hundreds of them standing in solidarity as she arrived. Now, although they weren't able to physically see her, only the van that she was driven in. Clancy is accused of killing her three children. Her attorney is mounting an insanity defense, saying that she had postpartum psychosis. was overmedicated and not criminally responsible. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington spoke briefly this morning on his way into the courthouse about why this case is resonating with so many people coming out. You have hundreds of women dressed in pink. This is a woman that strangled her three children in the basement, and it was, it seems to me anyway, like it was premeditated just real quick. She sends her husband out for food. And she sent him to a restaurant that was pretty far away from the house so that she would have time in my estimation to do all of this. So if you'll back out in the same post, they've got the news report from 1994.
it's on the same link but it's a separate clip where you know just compare and contrast how these mothers reacted then uh susan smith i think she blamed she said that her car was carjacked by a black man and then driven into a body of water once he realized that her sons were still in the back of it unfortunately i i don't see another link regarding that oh no it's the same link just back out of the full screen there'll be another video clip oh got it right next to it uh-huh all right here Let's see. Well, I don't know. You're just going to have to set it up because I don't see where. But you're right. Susan Smith, she did blame a black man way back when. I don't even remember what year that was. That was so long ago. Yeah, it's that other clip, right? It should be in the same post. There we go. And go ahead and let's go ahead and play. They were screaming at her that she was a baby killer. Well, she was. Yeah. She was a baby killer. So, yeah, so 1994, then and now you had Susan Smith, and she was being yelled at and called a baby killer by folks. And now here we are in 2026, where people are supporting this woman who killed her three children, allegedly, I guess. Part of this discussion is that she jumped out of the window. trying, I guess, to commit suicide or something, and now she's paralyzed? Yeah. So, yeah, I don't know. I mean, the other, one of the things that these women are saying is that... is that she was over-medicated. She did have doctors that were giving her a lot of apparently different medication. I don't know. I haven't really kept up with all of it, but it just does seem bizarre that you have all of these women that are out there supporting a woman who killed her three kids. The crazy part is, is you argue that, you know, Postpartum psychosis is a real thing. You know, you can be supportive of that aspect of the story. But the women that are coming out in support of her are saying, well, you're just not watching the trial. They're setting her up. It's like, no, you guys don't understand procedure and what has happened. They have conceded several times that she killed her kids. The argument here is she's not guilty by reason of insanity, which is what they're trying to prove. And that's kind of hard for some people to comprehend because we took civics out of the high school curriculum. All right, Spencer Pratt. Next. Yeah, so the L.A. mayoral debates are heating up, obviously, and Nithya Raman gets absolutely bodied by the moderator here. Talking about homelessness, talking about how they've reduced it, even though they just legalized, if I'm not mistaken, being able to camp in parks again. We can end street homelessness. In my district last year, we reduced street homelessness by 49% over the past few years that I've been in office. We've reduced tents, RVs, and encampments in our district by 70%. This is possible to do. So you challenge the 49% figure.
No, I don't challenge the 49%. The question is, who did it? The 49% was done by Insights safe. No, no, no, no, no, sorry. She had encampments off of the 405 freeway that we removed, an encampment on the, wait a minute, now it's my turn. But you were interrupting me the whole time, Karen Bass. The one on one, 101 freeway was removed by Insights safe. We've had, you have had encampments. You also have no problem with encampments being in front of school. Absolutely. No, we don't have any encampments near schools in our district. There were when I first started. See, this is the issue is that the audience doesn't know who to believe and they don't have a lot of confidence in either of you have the definitive plan. Well, that, see, now that is true. Well, and it's just, it's case in point, all of these mysterious overnight votes that she gave a concession speech. to Spencer Pratt, essentially, and then all of a sudden she gets launched forward into the runoff with her and Karen Bass, and it makes no sense. Now, this next clip, I think Chuck Schumer has lost the plot. I think he is completely mentally absent upstairs. The fireplace is not on. The lights are not on. Nobody is home because of his support of a certain candidate. Look, the bottom line is we're going to win Michigan. Let me tell you why we're going to win Michigan. First, Abdul El-Sayed has brought in new energy and new talent into the Democratic Party, but also in Michigan itself. But second, Michigan, Trump has so bungled the Michigan economy. You know, the numbers for Trump on how well he's doing and keeping costs down, in the economy is in the low 30s in the country, it's in the high 20s in Michigan. Why? He created a trade war with Canada. Anyone who's halfway decent as president knows that the Michigan economy and the Canadian economy are totally intertwined, and he's blown it. So one of the things that Chuck Schumer will probably forget talking about the economy and all those things is obviously when Joe Biden was president, gas prices and the inflation were through the roof. That's number one. Number two for Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden and the Democrats, one of the things that Abdul El-Sayed wants to do is have open borders. Well, when you have open borders again and you stop all of the mass deportation, what are we going to see? We're going to see depression of wages, yet again, as it relates to construction work and customer service work and those kinds of things. Also, let's not forget that we had rents that were higher and mortgages that were higher as well. Real estate was higher because of all of the illegal aliens that were in our country. So. As far as the economy goes, I mean, I'm not going to defend Trump's economy because, yeah, we've got some challenges right now. But I certainly don't think the answer is Abdul El-Sayed and the Democrat Socialists. Yeah, don't forget Medicare for All on that as well. Where does that money come from? That's exactly right. That's exactly right. And Chuck Schumer, you know, not to belabor the point on the DSA, but clearly Chuck Schumer is worried. Chuck Schumer is scared like a lot of these folks on the left. They're scared.
The reason they're talking about this big tent that the Democrats suddenly now have, they have all this room for the DSA, the Israel-hating DSA, is because they're afraid that they're going to be left behind and the DSA is going to be to the forefront. So if you can't beat them, then join them. And that's what the main line of the Democrats like Chuck Schumer are doing with the DSA. Next. All right, so this is going to be, I know how we feel, audio-only audience, but this is a T-shirt. If you want to get a copy of it, I'm going to try to find it. This man has got a shirt on, I believe he's at the airport. It says, I support LGBTQ. Now, Dan, read off what he supports. Okay, I will. Thanks, Sam. I support LGBTQ. Liquor, guns, beers. Start your day with the morning jolt of Drake Toll. Anywhere in the country. Your home for talking sports. The United States hockey team has four teeth left. What is LeBron James Legacy? Leonel Mess. 906 career goals is stupid. All of it. The Knicks. The Los Angeles Lakers. Aaron Rogers. Georgia football players. The Dolphins. The Mets. As it happened, when it happened. We'll talk all of it. Westwood One Sports Talk. Your home for Drake Toll. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. I don't want to say the T word, but it's the T-T-T-word for boobs. Tat-tas. And quickies. Okay. That's right. I just, I thought it was fun. It is very funny. I support LGBTQ. Yeah, and it's, it's, you're right. You know, I wouldn't say that that's necessarily, what's, what's the word I'm looking for? Would your wife let you wear that shirt? Oh, 100%. Yeah. She lets me wear a shirt that says Bourbon makes it better out in public. RJ, are you married? Would your wife let you wear that out in public? I am married. My wife would not let me wear that in public, but she would think it's funny. So I don't know if Amy would let me wear that out in public. She as well, though, would find it funny. It's a conversation starter. Oh, it certainly is a conversation starter. All right, real quick. We did a Daily Dan poll. We're talking about the situation regarding the... swings right at the Wilson County Tennessee State Fair. Do I have that right, Sam, the Wilson County Tennessee State Fair? Yeah, yeah. It's the Tennessee State Fair. They now have it in Wilson County. And nine people were injured on the swings. As you very accurately reported, it goes round and around. And it lowered people onto that metal gate. or fencing around the ride. At full speed. At full speed. So people's legs are running, you know, and hitting the fence. I mean, it had to be painful. Yeah, four people were hospitalized. They've all since been released. So no major injuries as far as that's concerned. But, I mean, it fuels the anxiety about that kind of stuff. And so I think what is the poll saying? Yeah, so what is the Daily Dan poll saying there, RJ? So final results of the poll. Well, what was the question? What was the question? It's a no, 86% yes, 14%. RJ, are you wearing headphones? RJ is not wearing headphones. Wow. Radio 101, youngling, always wear headphones when you're on the air. I had them on originally, but then I couldn't hear Sam talking to me. Okay. So how did we frame the question on the Daily Dan poll?
Do you feel safe on fair rides? Okay, and people said, what's the percentages? 86% say no, 14 say yes. Okay, very good. So, you know, it's amazing that, and I'm not dissing on the fair. I'm not, if people want to go to the fair, all well and good. But when I opened up the question on the supertext line as well, people were like, oh, heck, no, they're not going on those rights. By the way, apparently Sam 4702 says you can get that shirt on Timu. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Listen, I'm just saying if people want that shirt, they can get it on Timu. So are you on Twitter, Sam? Yeah. All right, so then just repost that on Twitter. Probably will. Yeah. Now do you want to dive into that last clip or do you want to go to my extras that I sent you earlier this morning? What I want to do is right now it is 551, Super Talk 997 WTN 615-7-986. People are really reacting to... The fair rides, 1949 says, when is people going to quit going to these damn fairs? You know, people like the fairs by and large. I mean, don't they? Yeah. I don't. I mean, I don't go for the rides. I go for the, you know, the vegetables, the animals, people doing, you know, their stunts, the fun little shows that they have going on. That's why I go. I... Right. If I want to get tossed around and my life, you know, put in danger, I want to do it, you know, in my own hands, like going out on the boat, going wheeling, something like that. Well, I always seem, I always feel like the, I don't do, I want to say, last time I said this, I got like a lot of hate. Do you trust the people that work at the fair? I'll put it that way. I trust the people. It's, you know, this ride was inspected by a third-party company, and it, you know, passed all the quality control metrics, but it's, you know, it's unpredictability sometimes. 3304 asked a really good question. Why did they stop having the fair in Nashville a couple of years ago? They moved it to Wilson County. I don't remember why they did that, but they did. And that was a bit of a controversial move. And I don't remember why they moved it. I remember they had some problems. 4702 says, yeah, I go to the fair for the food and for the people watching as well. All right. So it officially moved from the Nashville home at the fairgrounds in Nashville to Wilson County in 2021, primarily due to severe space constraints and land redevelopment at the Nashville fairgrounds. So the soccer stadium being put in with a huge issue. All that kind of stuff. Yeah, and as we grow as a state, you know, the fair grows as well. You have new attractions, new companies that are going to show up and want to participate. So you need the space for it. And Wilson County provides that space. All right. It is 553.

No, it is open again, but there's another crash, I-24 Eastbound, before Old Hickory Boulevard. It's been cleared. Oh, I'm sorry, no, that's the same crash. So it's cleared in the Laverne area on I-24. Interstate is reopened. It was a tractor trailer versus car. Man, we are having a lot of those. I, yeah. What is going on on the roads? I have a theory. What's your theory? Our infrastructure was not made to handle this much economic load into town. You know, the more we grow, the more we build, the more supplies need to get here, the more semis have to bring them. And we're working with a lot of Tulane interstates for the most part. Also, let's not forget the South is growing big time. And so a lot of these trucks may be taking, you know, goods through Nashville to get to, you know, some other part of the region. And maybe that's also part of the problem. So anyway, yeah, we keep seeing these things. Keep it slow. Keep it safe. And as far as your weather goes, sounds really good for today and this weekend. Today, a high of 90, possible rain, about 20%. Saturday, sunny and 91, possible rain as well. Sunday, no rain, a high of 90. And... I've got that humidity for you, by the way. It's just going to feel so nice. It is going to feel nice. 74% today. It's going to taper off to 64% tomorrow. Sunday, going to be a nice, crisp, 58%. Almost that pre-fall feel as the sun sets and it cools down a little bit. So it's going to be nice. This is front porch sitting weather. You know, get the fire in the backyard going weather. This is the weekend for it. I cannot wait. Thank you, Sam. Sam's got the news coming up at 6 o'clock. Super Talk 997 WTN. Mike Drop, hosted by former Navy SEAL, Mike Ridland. What is your take?
