So proud of my childhood best buddy Dr. Henry Sadlo 👨🏼⚕️ Louisville's #1 cardiologist was just inducted into the St. Stephen Martyr Hall of Fame. @UofLPhysicians #PiperCourt #TheRuffians pic.twitter.com/z1AEWapHfd— Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) May 17, 2019 Dr. Henry Sadlo has been my running mate since we met in 1963. There is not a kinder, more compassionate person on this earth. I'm delighted to see that he has been inducted into our elementary school's hall of fame. I went to UK and he went to UofL but that didn't slow our love and respect for each other. While Henry was away doing his medical school residency in Atlanta, I hung around with his dad, a kindred spirit. Henry and I still talk

That time I won the Kentucky Derby. Until I didn’t. But at least I won when I took Mary home.
Mary and I had a ball at Unbridled Eve and the next day at the 145th Kentucky Derby... ...until the racing stewards cancelled my winning ticket by disqualifying winner Maximum Security. Oops! Ain't gonna bump no more with no big, fat racehorse. Yahoo Sports columnist Pat Forde tells the jaw-dropping tale of unbridled elation followed by Maximum Security's designation as "a racing immortal for all the wrong reasons." President Trump weighed in with a misspelled tweet, later reposted with the correct spelling of Kentucky.
McConnell zings Dems’ Derby pick, eager to run against socialism in 2020
📻 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell jumped on the radio with me to talk about chicken chomping Democrats, why he is proudly called The Grim Reaper, defining socialism in 2019, if investigating the investigators is overkill, Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling AG William Barr a criminal, Sen. Mazie Hirono lobbing 🔥 at Trump, just WHO IS REALLY IN CHARGE!, and Liberals' favorite Kentucky Derby horse 🎙️ 🏇🏽 840WHAS #USpolitics
Katherine Switzer broke through to give us the only genderless test of timed human athleticism
Katherine Switzer is an American hero, the first women to register and run the Boston Marathon back in the 60s when it was a male-only event. A race official spotted her and tried to yank her off of the course. Katherine and her colleagues weren't having it. She persisted and finished the race. It opened the gates for women's competition in all levels of sports. To this day, marathon running is the one true test of human athleticism without regard to gender. There are no red tees. There is no smaller sized ball. Lifting weights, riding bikes, pull-ups, javelin throws...they're all measurements of skill and endurance but marathon running is in a class of its own. The marathon course is 26.2
Jeremy Kappell misspoke and lost his job. This meteorologist refuses to fade into the sunset.
📻 Here's meteorologist Jeremy Kappell on his lawsuit vs Rochester's WHEC, the cruel actions of Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren & gutless TV general manager Dick Reingold, support from Al Roker, Don Lemon, Craig Melvin, and Rochester viewers, other weather people mispronouncing MLK without a beatdown, and how public shaming strengthened Jeremy's family & faith 🎙️ #bullies #media DETAILS on the Kappell website. Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren demanded Jeremy Kappell's firing without ever speaking to him or communicating with him in any capacity. Mayor Warren understands forgiveness as she is married to a man who drove the getaway car in a jewelry store robbery 20 years ago. She also defended a Rochester council member accused of embezzling tens of thousands of dollars,
The fillies’ futures are bright at Keeneland. Meet my awesome nieces Addie and Lauren
How much should aunts and uncles dole out to a 2019 college graduate? $100, maybe $200. Best thing to do is ask someone who's about to graduate. When it's your niece, it's a joy to share. Here's my radio chat with Addie Meiners, the next media superstar. What a delight to broadcast from Keeneland Race Course and run into not one - but two! - of my sweet nieces. I held both of these girls just hours after they were born and have loved them dearly their entire lives. Addie Meiners (daughter of my brother Mike) will graduate from the University of Kentucky in May and is already an accomplished sports broadcaster. She's done radio and television shows, and
That’s a wrap on Great Day Live for me but I will continue to see you on WHAS11
I'm stepping aside from Great Day Live on WHAS11. I will continue to do limited on air appearances on WHAS11 going forward but the daily grind of GDL ends now. Angie Fenton will take over as sole anchor of the show. My daily WHAS Radio show will continue every weekday from 3-6 PM. I plan to continue my radio and TV work for another three years or so before I call it a career. Thanks to all for your continuing support. You are greatly appreciated. My WHAS family means the world to me. That never changes. We love you @terrymeiners! pic.twitter.com/pFZuuqyx9R— Rachel Platt (@rplattfrazier) April 5, 2019 #tbt One of my favorite WHAS11 live shots (1995)
Financial experts: here’s how to save $300+ million on KFC Yum Center payments. Oh, and where is that other $29 million?
In a radio chat this week, I asked Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer about an expert's plan that could save $300 million paying off the KFC Yum Center ($10m per year). The mayor seemed underwhelmed. The Metro Council is considering tripling the local tax on insurance premiums. Taxpayers are incensed that the mayor and council aren't first considering budget cuts. Mayor Fischer and I also discussed the odd logic of paying criminals to curtail crime without LMPD guidance, JCPS sickouts, the Passport Health meltdown, and more. 🎙️ AUDIO Below are the financial plan details submitted by businessman Denis Frankenberger and affirmed by former attorney general Chris Gorman and other financial experts who wish to remain anonymous.
