House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. John Yarmuth (KY-3) joined me on 840WHAS to add deeper context to the spending plans in the Biden Administration's American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Mr. Yarmuth is the primary author of the legislation. Parts of it were retooled by the Senate but it was ultimately passed and signed into law last week. Republicans claim that only a fraction of the spending package is appropriately aimed at eradicating the COVID pandemic. Americans earning $75,000 individually or $150,000 filing jointly receive up to $1,400 per person in stimulus funds from ARPA. Extra cash and tax credits are added for additional family members. That cash commitment makes up 22% of the $1.9 trillion spending package. "I'd be happy to defend every

WINTER BEATDOWN: the Snow Bully plow master Beasman terrorizes Larry Minner
Heavy snow falls. The solemn duty of shoveling the driveway becomes Job One. After a brutal hour of pushing away the frozen encumbrance, a drive by plow dumps another load of street snow all over your freshly cleaned private drive. What the what? It turned out the Snow Bully was my buddy The Beasman. He called me on the radio to laugh at my shoveling misery. LISTEN #GoCats #BBN #LarryMinner #NoCountLoservilleLover CATS WIN! CATS WIN!

Free doughnut or a hug from the Playmate of the Year? Tough call!
I've forgotten why the Playboy Playmate of the Year was at our WHAS studios in 1995 but I did not complain about it. Julie Cialini sat for an interview and she was very pleasant and willing to meet listeners. So we had doughnuts sent in and offered commuters a choice. We would broadcast with the Playmate of the Year from the sidewalk in front of our radio station for 30 minutes. Listeners could pull up and choose between a doughnut or a hug from the playmate. Great fun ensued. Not many doughnuts were chosen. Julie actually ate one. That may have been the most shocking aspect of the show that day. Imagine a radio segment like this in today's #MeToo world. I would
#tbt Working with professionals is always a great day at the office
The Courier Journal ran an extensive profile of me on January 4, 1992. The excellent writer C. Ray Hall followed me for three days. I was worried that I was about to be indicted. What in the world would be that interesting that required three days of observation? The piece turned out to be the most thorough, thoughtful, and accurate piece ever written about me. Mr. Hall told me that it was the longest profile the newspaper had ever done on a media person. These photos were never published but were given to me after the publication was released. Staff photographer Pam Spalding was terrific. She snapped a zillion pictures of my family and me and they were incredibly respectful and touching.

Looking forward to joining @TerryMeiners today on @840WHAS in #Kentucky to discuss the news of the day. Tune in live at 4:05 ET today: https://t.co/TKlXiZ1ism — Leader McConnell (@senatemajldr) August 8, 2019 Of all the interaction I've had with various luminaries over the years, no one creates more blowback than Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. The comments are WOW!
A highly decorated American hero from the Greatest Generation joined me on the radio
On December 7, 1941 after Pearl Harbor was attacked, 15-year-old Glen Fisher lied about his age so that he could join the U.S. Army and defend America. The Bedford, Kentucky native was eventually sent to the front lines and fought through the end of the war. Colonel Fisher is a highly decorated veteran who was injured by Nazi artillery. Instead of going home, he insisted that he could go back to his unit and continue the fight. Now 94, Colonel Fisher told some of his story today on 840WHAS 🎙 LISTEN tinyurl.com/y5zgos7m #GreatestGeneration #WWII #WoundedWarrior #WarHeroes 2/2 🇺🇸 Now 94, retired Colonel Fisher told some of his incredible story today on @840WHAS 🎙 LISTEN https://t.co/qoQk09u6Pg #GreatestGeneration #WWII #WoundedWarrior #WarHeroes 🇺🇸
