Oh, and what better way to celebrate Friday on The Tony and Dwight Show with not Dave Jennings with Gusts the best looking boss, Oh my gosh, and the smartest, so attractive. We're so fortunate to have gust Most women in the office can't even concentrate when he's in a meeting. Women want to be with him and men want to be him exactly. That's a new twist on the butt kissing. You're all doing there, I hadn't got that. The best looking, yes, thank you. Here's the thing. Here's the
thing. We haven't done anything wrong, I don't think. Well, let me find whatever yet. And by the way, thanks for bringing us in with George Possum Jones. He is one of the staples that we listened to when we hear in our Southern comfort hot tub at night. Come on by seventy five and one pressing Highway. This is the time, baby, hot tubs as low as fifty percent off the rest of the today and tomorrow, and then that's that. Come on down Preston Highway. They get a big
banner it says hot tubs. Heale pretty simple, all right? Well, was it an Allen attack? Yesterday. Man, we're gonna talk about Oh, Jim Ryan will tell us we'll have let's go ahead and talk about it right now. Some people think it could be an alien oft time. Well, there's a lot of them come across the border, so that that kind of alien. Man, Oh, you talking about the Martian Thomas Krawl. Yeah, man, is that what they're saying? It could be an alien
tuck. You don't know. It could be a solar flare. What solar flare has been disproved? What did Dave say he got it? How do you know the aliens didn't come through the sun and made the solar flare. That's a damn good point, thank you. And besides, they could use one of those pins, the men in black pins on us exactly all. I wouldn't even know about the AT and T person be like, no, it was a glitch. Just remember what Dave Jennings said about the eclipse.
He must be in the path of total total totality. AT and T has said it is a new formatted program, uh that was supposed to help with coverage. And as we know, if anybody's worked in the corporate world more than a cup of coffee and a half a sandwich. You know that these programs come down all the time to replace a program that right, So, so this will improve things? Will it? This? This is the mantra for many companies that I've worked for, and I haven't worked for. Okay,
okay, okay, but it's always this. If it ain't broke, break it, break it. Uh. So that's what happened yesterday at and T At least that's their version of things, at least, or at least that's what the CIA would lead you to believe. Dunt dunt Hello, all right, bring back happy hour easily. Indiana usually has better laws, better taxes, better roads, better schools than the Commonwealth of Kentucky. But Indiana had one last thing. They had an uh they had a law against happy
hours. Did you I had no idea? Why is that that? Gus? Did you know they had a law against a law against happy hours? Come on? That's true. So now there's a bill to eliminate that. So the current law in the books right now in Indiana is, if you have a special on appetizers or drinks, you have to have that special from the opening to close. You can't have a two hour come on in and
get half price though. So now the bill has passed through all of the House and Senate, it's now in on the governor's desk to sign to bring back happy hour in Indiana. And there wasn't one person opposed to it in Indiana. Uh yeah, I'd like half price cheese sticks. I wish people would participate in happy hours more. It used to be a really big thing and a little big thing. Well the bottom's kind of dropped out. I mean it still goes on, obviously, but the attendance on these happy hours
is not near what it used to be. But you know, and I think it might go back to the COVID when we all go back to our homes and we weren't working at the office, and a lot of people haven't returned to the office. But that used to be the thing you were getting off the air. I was in advertising at the time. Everybody would shut it down around five o'clock. Gus, were you around for the makers mark Fridays? I vaguely remembered that, just so you vaguely remember, because that's
probably what it was. Yeah, it was supposed to be a Friday at five brings sales and promotion, sales, and jocks together, right, So one week sales abide and then the and then the jocks a bye the next week and it would be a one point two whatever. The big maker's mark was the big biggie, and you drank that until it was gone. So that happened every Friday. Everyone stopped working and started getting drunk at the office. But you know what's funny. Nothing bad could ever come out of that.
Not a thing could happen there. But here's the thing that happens. These are fun by the way. But anytime they say okay, we'll get sales and programming together and we have a party, it starts out everybody's mingling, and everybody just slowly drifts off to their group, and the half of the room would be sales talking to each other, and nil half will be it doesn't really work. You remember the commercials we used to This is a long time ago, but it's happy hour when you get what two dollars,
wells, three dollars calls and things like that. I don't ever hear that. That's been years since i've heard that. Yes, oh, happy hours used to be a big thing. Because what Dwight said when at five o'clock. Who's like the first person came to just going where are we going? Right, because that's where we all needed to know where to meet. And everyone would tell everybody and what's where are we meeting? What are we meeting?
And then by five thirty five, forty five, most of the staff is where you are, Oh, Charlie's and Preckinridge Lane or t K's Bob or wherever it was you went and you hung out afterwards. Nowadays people scatter they if there is an event. Some people in the office that the name rhymes with schmite calls it a fundatory Yeah, it's mandatory fun. Yeah, they said, don't know, you don't have to attend the uh forgot the fun. Yes, you don't have to. You don't have to attend.
You're gonna show up, You're gonna like you. It's fun. It's fundatory fun. The door. All right. So, Indiana, your happy hour looks like as long as the governor signs it, it's on his desk. Now you're going to be doing that all right now? Child labor laws a Kentucky okay, all right, Kentucky Republicans pass or a dominated Republican House bill pastor bill Thursday to remove state restrictions on child labor, allowing sixteen and seventeen
year olds to work all hours now instead of having to knockoff. I think it was ten or eleven o'clock hang on well in the eighties. I took a job with Williams Catering Service in the eighties down in Portland and I was fifteen. I did have to get something signed, but I was working. I think the shift was like ten pm to like four am something like that. So currently seen how old I was fifteen fifteen. That seems like that was really good, but it was, but it was during the summer,
gu during Carl Stifferent all right. Kentucky currently allows sixteen and seventeen year olds to work from six am to ten thirty pm on school nights and one am on other nights, with no restricted hours during summer or school breaks. This would take all those rules out. They can work over a forty hour week if they wish to, and this is ages fourteen to eighteen. Now. I had a fourteen year old that begged to go to work. She goes, I want to get a job. She did. She worked at Kentucky
Kingdom all summer and She worked eight, ten, twelve hour days. It was crazy, but she wanted to work. I think if you're a fourteen year old want to work, haven't and of course you wind up in bezzling from Kentucky Kingdom. But wid allegedly allegedly allegedly, Oh you're worse than the internet. Dude. All right, so that is I don't know if that is going to get signed by Bashir or not, but that doesn't the federal hall that's supposed to like matchup with the federal law, right correct, which
you can't. You can't bypass federal unless it's marijuana. Oh yeah, all right, that's right. Yeah, all right. So we talked a little bit about healthy and safe neighborhoods and this is our old neighborhood, right, Newburg is our old neighborhood. We've always moved as part as Clear Channel, and iHeart and the safe and healthy neighborhoods. And listen this just in from corporate. We're moving from four Street to twenty second in Douma. Now now
all right, start all right. So there's a two million dollar federal initiative. It's a pilot program that will start in Newburgh and part of That is Tony and Dwight's favorite government initiatives, which is the interrupters, the interrupter program, like we need some music for this. Thank you. If you don't or not familiar with what the interrupter program was, I thought our station helped.
A couple of years ago, when Greg Fisher was in charge of Louisville and they had a multi they were spending millions of dollars on hiring ex convicts that had familiar friends in the neighborhood. Still, so when they got out of prison, they hired these folks up to what was it sixty thousand, I know it. No, it was sixty grand a year because I know it was more than first year police. No, no, absolutely it is. So so they hired an interrupt You go, well, gosh, charn
it, Tony, explain what an interrupter does. Okay, they're a crook. The interrupter is supposed to if something happens, I get mad at you and I shoot you. Uh, the our friends and relatives want revenge and it goes back and it's an endless cycle. They're claiming the interrupter can come into that situation and go whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, instead of shooting each other, how about a breakdance contest? Yeah? Right, so wait a minute, everybody settled down, sittled down, Tony's right, settle
out, everybody. And by the way, look at the track, look at the t A record of these interrupters too. They wind up getting arrested again. Hey, I got a great idea. It's been glaring for a while. Bring back the viper unit. No, yeah, it's absolutely bringing back uh Jimmy Harper to l m p D because it was working, yes, but then uh anal Fisher viper unit worked, by the way, yeah, and and ano Fisher said, it's mean the criminals. Okay, the
criminals, that's the idea. Yes, that's the idea. So they want to break so they so they had to get rid of it because we went through the budget line by line and we saw this. We didn't even know it was in there, and we're like, what is the interrupters? We did our homework, We asked l MPD, and some of the officers on the on the force at that time said, we have no idea what they do, right, what do you mean they don't report to us? That was the shock. They don't have to report to us. Now, that
was the system before. Now they say because they brought him back. They brought interrupters back for the city of Louisville, and they said that they're going to have a little bit more accountability, which I don't know. So how could you track or quantify whether you stop the murder or something? So so well, i'll tell you. So, you're getting former criminals, pay him sixty thousand dollars a year and put them on the honor system on whether you're
doing or not that's something or not. Well, I'll tell you how. The main indicator you can see if it's working or not. If we start seeing dance offs, Hey, everybody stop. Jimmy's right, maybe we should do a breakdans contest instead of shooting each other. He's a real interrupter. He's an interrupter. Oh man, the interrupter's here. I wonder if they the interrupter shows up in a trench code. No, that's what I was getting ready to say. They need to make every one of these damn interrupters
wear a uh A superhero outfitre absolute ac and a big eye on. Oh yeah, every one of these damn interrupters so you could identify they're going interrupter. I want to go I want to go back to the nineteen these movies where the interrupt it's the long trenscoat with greasy hair and hat like a like Dora. No, because here's the thing to interrupt. When the interrupter in a superhero outfit see something going down, he'll put both hands on the side
to say stop it. I'm interrupting. Uh what are you here to interrupt? Face violence? Violence could be back by family. Uh, look, we need to get Cobra back. What was what was stallone's name? Johnny Cobra? Is it Johnny Cobra cri Yes, that's what I'm saying. On the on the poster, did say crime is a disease, meet the cure or something? Yes, Yes, that's what we need. That's what we need. We need Johnny Cobra backus sunglasses and the toothpick. Ye had the
toothpick? Remember you hand? Okay, okay. My favorite scene in that stupid movie was he's there's a shootout in a grocery store and the bad guys have to be just greasy bed and so he's getting shot out and it's next to a Coors stat so he gabs it, opens, it takes a drink, and it puts it back. And I was like, I wonder how much Scores paid for that placement. You remember the gun he had. It was a handgun but had like a laser, a gigantic scope. All right,
Hey, so Newburgh apply for it. Looks like there are four jobs available in Newburgh. There will be two employees, which I would understand would be the interrupters, yes, uh. And then there will be a coordinator, a case coordinator boy, and a program manager. I'm the case coordinator. I dispatch every interrupter within. I want to look at what time of day the case managed, the case coordinator or program manager's day starts. I'm
a cup coffee three. I'm sure it's like noon to four. Right at least their offices in the back of the gym, behind behind where they store the basketballs. That's what, you know, what we need to stop the violence. We need more ping pong centers. Wow? Oh well, uh. Welcome to Tony and Dwight Show, where you can hate his freely on on our Twitter handles and or at email. It's Tony Vedetti at iHeartMedia dot
com. I'm not gonna say who this is. Yeah. Uh. He said they would show up to homicide scenes and ask if they could be of any assistance. No, what I want is one of these interrupters to show up downtown and go, I'm here to see the commissioner. Where's the commissioner. Where's the commissioner. I need to speak with the commissioner. All right, maybe we can get a bat light. Lake has the interruption of the interrupt, a giganic eye, a gigantic guye. Wait, everyone stopped.
The interrupters are on the case. Please listen, Mark Greenberg, if we know somebody from your staffs listening because we hear from you, please make them wear superhero outfits with the gigantic guye on it. That's all we're asking. Yes, please listen. Listen to your constituents. We the people have spoken. I'm sure then the people in the whatever situation will know ye to listen
to the interrupters that they're very important. They have to identify themselves. You can't just give them a name tag like they work at Long John Silvers. You gotta have an Tony's right. This isn't Staples. You gotta have a full out right, you gonna have an outfit. And let me tell you, if any man that walks in a room with a cape and a mask, it just demands respect and tights. I'm all in for having them dressed like breakdancers, because what if you that's in the Olympic Sports. By the
way, is it really in the Summer Olympics? Breakdancing is now an Olympic sports, which I'm like, what are we doing? All right? How do you judge that? Exactly the same way they judge ice skating and gymnastics. It's always I'll tell you how you's a Russian judge you have, you have breakdancing grades like ice and thunder, Come out and judge it from Electric Google. How could you not, right, I mean you got to get
the cast of Electric Bogle, yes, to judge the damn thing. And then when when we were growing up, there was break dancing groups and they would just put the name of the neighborhood and then breakers. We had the doss breaker. Yeah, we did, of course we did, of course, of course, yes, absolutely. It's like aluminum flooring salesman made a ton of money that couple of summers because you would have to buy all this section of Illumina or liloneo Core. Here's here's some of the people from Breaking
that could judge it. Okay, okay, Kelly also on a special K, Special K. She's blonde, rich girl and the dad doesn't want her hanging out with these dirty breakers. Electro Rock one, Electro Rock one, he's still around problem. Turbo Turbo was great one more what oh Zone O Zone Yeah, so Turbo Ozone were the two main guys. Yeah, Turbo had the fedora hat like he's in a zoot suit, right, but then he had like a hanging ear ring in a in a bandana, right,
like it's nineteen forty four. Why do you wear forty seven bandanas tight around your body? Because I'm a breaker, I mean also an interrupter, and somebody might need a turn. I'm an interrupter, slash breaker. Somebody might need a tourniquet. Yeah, I think we're joking the day time. And who do we have sponsor? Wise, Now, this whole segment's been the joke of the day. So here we go. Wait loss centers, Oh, weight loss centers of Louisville, folks, I need you to go.
I was there yesterday, right, now they have a five hundred dollars session available for forty nine dollars nine oh six seventy one oh five nine oh six seventy one Weight Loss Centers of Louvo located in DuPont. I was there yesterday afternoon for the red light therapy. It's a full body red light therapy. You lose weight. I got it. I will tell you my son stole my thirty two core corner roys that I loved. I love these Cornu roys. He stole them. I found him in his room and I fit back

So call the number nine oh six seventy one oh five only till March third, you get the five hundred dollars session for forty nine dollars. Red light therapy works. We're not gonna do a joke of the day. We're too late. Back after this with the Bloomberg Money Minute on news
Radio eight t W Yeah, okay, Ith is any minute. It joins us now to talk about the record high yesterday over thirty nine thousand for the Dow and I believe the s and P is over five thousand. Everybody was in the green. How did we take a turn yesterday? And I think
was it four hundred points by the end of the day. Up, Yeah, well I had a record data is certainly true and it don't forget what really drove this was the AI chip maker in Vidia, which they issued a fourth quarter report this week that didn't surpass expectations but were about as high as people had expected. But that was very high and had a big impact. Investors are seeing signs that interest rates will likely stay put for a few months.
But now an SMP now coming off of record highs yesterday, we should mention plans in the works for a ten to fifteen million dollar addition to the East Market district. A local developer guy by the name of Model Jiu with Novene Consulting. He's going to break ground on a new New Lou Marketplace Phase two called New Lou Marketplace North. It'll be three stories high, new restaurants in the bottom floor, with retail and entertainment on the street level and a
rooftop bar. And they're now looking around for a new anchor restaurant Artificial intelligence at the top of people's minds these days. Now, Google's CEO I was saying actually AI could help defend against cyber attacks. Speaking at a security conference in Munich, the head of Google said that the rapid development of AI could impact security threats at scale. The global economy lost about eight trillion dollars just in twenty twenty three due to cybercrime. So we're coming up on the opening.
Markets opening right now. As a matter of fact, the Dow is now ahead by one hundred and one points. Futures had been mixed a lower earlier this morning, but apparently investors just in too good a mood coming off of yesterday's records. The S and P five hundred, up fifteen points, the Nasdaq up fifty two points, with the news radio eight forty wha gues Bloomberg money report. I'm Scott Carr. We are back selling hot tubs today. Tony and Dwight are your hot tub experts. That's right back ry.
We know more about hot tubs than any normal man or woman. And you could come to Preston Highway right now and get yourself into a hot tub for next to nothing today and tomorrow and then it ends make your hot tub dream a reality, fifty up to fifty percent off on these hot tubs. As we go to Jim Ryan and we talked about yesterday's AT and T s gim you there was like an alien attack. Hi, Jim, you there, Yeah, I can hear you like that. So was it an alien attack
yesterday? What are we looking at? What happened at AT and T? Well, you can only hope so, but it was not. No, AT and T says that it was a glitch, you know, the same way that you guys, you know, your your phone's occasionally tell you, look, I need a software update. Just plug me in when you go to bed tonight, you wake up in the morning, you'll have the new
iOS fifty point six or whatever it is that they're up to. Now wait, wait, wait, Jim, Jim, Jim, I got to stop you right there, Go ahead, did you did you just assume my phonemaker? Because I'm a droid person? All right? Get over your droid god whose droid people are so awful? Androids update updates too, you knucklehead? All right? So yeah, so this was just a normal up upgrade to a new system, and it didn't go well, is that what you're saying
exactly right? They were trying to update the entire AT and T network and something went wrong, either with the software or with the person installing the software, or with both, so and that was what was behind this. So thousands of people were having problems with their phones getting this SOS message that said that their cell service was unreliable and that if you want to make a call you should get onto a Wi Fi connection. Well, what kind of defeats
the purpose of it, doesn't it? But anyway, that's where it's good. But yeah, there was concern yesterday. The FBI got involved, the federal agencies involved in internet cybersecurity were involved, but they all determined that, yeah, this wasn't a cyber attack. It wasn't some hack from the outside. There was just an AT and T internal software issue. But I mean to you to your point, I mean, the what ifs are are staggering.
Yeah. How widespread was this? What I mean in the grand scheme of things, I think it was seventy thousand customers, but they were kind of around the country. Yeah, yeah, but Phil, you know that it could have spread beyond that. Had this gotten much worse, it didn't fortunately. I mean last week, I understand there was an outage in Arkansas, strictly in Arkansas, involving tens of thousands of customers. It went away fairly quickly. This one got a lot more attention, I think because it
was more widespread around the country. Yeah, one of the things that by the way, we're talking about Jim Ryan in Texas talking about yesterday's AT and T service outage. You know when I first saw the story, first thing I did when I got up is I was doing the show prep. I started seeing this come up story after story. I thought, well, you know, it's just a pain in the ass for anybody that wanted to call.
But then I started thinking, what if it's an elderly person. They lived by theirself and that's our only most Let's face it, Jim Ryan, we've all just about all of us has gotten rid of these landlines. So I mean there's a real concern there. So maybe there should be a best practice in case of emergency that you have a cell phone outage. I don't know if these LifeLock or whatever it's called LifeLock, but wherever you hit the
button and I fall, I caike it up. I don't know if that's cellular or what, but it seems like that was a real danger for the elderly or someone lived by their self yesterday. Yeah, well absolutely, I'm San Francisco. I think, in fact, the emergency service who are saying, you know, if you have an emergency at your house, don't roll on your cell phone, go to a land line. Well, who's got
a landlining? More? I went online this morning just for the fun of it and check the AT and T side to see if I could even get a landline, and yeah, you can, like fifty nine bucks a month something like that. But you're right, I mean, that was shocking to me. I'm shocked first of all that you can still get a landline. Secondly, did you do show prep for this? Hey, Jim? Right right? Oh? The win? Yeah, for the win. For the way, apparently listens to the show, Jim Ryan, listen, you do
show p rep. That's the first, all right, Jim. I think it's also a little sad that the country lost their mind over at seventy six thousand people. And then if we have attached our lives to our phone so much, it is a good like I saw the videos. Did you see the videos on on x TO where people were just like, we cannot go on the rest of our take on our phone. I'm just like, come on, man, you know. I mean, that's a great point though,
Jim Ryan on there is an addiction level to your right. Yeah, you know, because you got your social media, texting, the whole thing. It's like they took Heroin from them. They thought they were gonna lose their minds. I was like, okay, live without the phone for an
afternoon. Listen, I don't have yeah, right, something like this happened to them and it should be a real wake up call, and it would be if you could get the phone to work right right, right, Look, I don't have I don't have at a T, I have Horizon. My service was fine and more. But yes, it did give me a good excuse not to answer the wife and I said, oh my gosh, she got hold. I couldn't. I couldn't ask you. You kept calling. But there's a silver line and everything. Jim Ryan from Tahas, we
love you, buddy, have a good weekend, a great weekend. All well, all right, so, but but am I not wrong? You come on this outrage of it being out for a couple of hours, and this endangers people's lot. No, it doesn't, all right if that's your if you're elderly and you live by yourself, and that's all you have is that cell phone. If old people are the only ones that have landlines. Dude, Next, So you couldn't get on X. I'm sorry you couldn't
get on X yesterday. Actually you could. You just had to get you just had to hook your phone through the internet, which all of them do. So you couldn't make a phone call. And actually technically you can if you want to make a phone call over the internet. So what is going on? What happened? This is a plan? Do you wanna who's behind it? Look? I wouldn't be it. I wasn't gonna say anything, but you've pushed me to the level radio. No, it's Taylor Swift.
I'm serious, man. This smells like Taylor Swift, and trust me, she smells. Hey, she take it back. I will not take it, damn it.
