50 years of Terry Meiners radio bits

The basketball rivalry between the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville just completed another riveting chapter. U of L jacked UK's jaw. The Beasman ain't having it. When UK beats U of L, it's fodder for comedy. When Louisville wins, everyone is expected to walk on eggshells and not discuss it while tender Wildcat fan hearts slowly heal over a matter of weeks, if not months.  Sa...

UofL football's perfect record has been dashed by the Viginia Cavs. Ouch. The Beasman loved every minute of Louisville's troubles and predicts a beatdown for the Cardinals against Mark Pope's Kentucky Wildcats. And the Beasman is certain that UK football was THIS CLOSE to pounding Georgia, they simply ran out of time.

A thousand people have asked me about the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel on ABC-TV. I don't like it but I understand the business of media. ABC/Disney weighs countless moneymaking opportunities and sheds content that does not produce profits. Once Nexstar and Sinclair pulled Kimmel's show after he made caustic comments after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, ABC/Disney had a business decision to make...

The Beasman swore that he'd never call Terry's WHAS Radio show ever again after Kenny Payne was fired. But Louisville's successful basketball coach Pat Kelsey just referred to UofL as POINT GUARD U in an interview and Joe was triggered into reaching for the phone.

Gary Burbank. Simple the greatest radio talent ever. Rest easy, bro. Tough day for all of us who loved him.

Ron Clay had ecclectic music tastes. He played the song BOOBS A LOT every morning at the beginning of our Show With No Name on WQMF between January 1983 and June 1985 when I left for WHAS Radio. 1960s hippie jug band music just doesn't get enough love!

God bless our teachers. They are leaders, instructors, counselors, and substitute parents who protect our kids for a significant part of kids' lives. In this monologue, I talk about funny ways to entertain my own kids but also the method I created to mesmerize school kids on the autitorium stage. After checking with the teachers, I would pick three kids from the crowd who could help me illustrate...

So now Gray Television, which owns WAVE3 in Louisville, is buying Block Communications, which owns WDRB and WBKI. That means Louisville will see a merger of assets from all three stations and the inevitable R...

Sometimes they hit you. Da Blues. It was tough out there for a pimple. Ron & Terry, wealthy beyond their wildest dreams, still slid into a funk now and again just because THE MUSIC DO ME WRONG! Thank God for medication, and co-hosts like Art Linkletter who would give Ron & Terry a break from the grueling work of talking on the radio. By the way, Diamond John wrote rubber checks to pay Mr....

Wino Jimmy never meant any harm. He'd sleep in the shrubbery outside of WQMF studios in sleepy downtown Jeffersonville. Occasionally he'd accidentally urinate on Ron Clay's vespa scooter but so is life! Then...in the blink of an eye...Jimmy was gone. All of the world's biggest celebrities called The Show With No Name to express condolences. Ron & Terry were emotionally overwhelmed but still mu...

Even though Senator Rand Paul just played golf with President Donald Trump, the president could not persuade Sen. Paul to vote in favor of the BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL. It passed anyway. Sen. Paul was one of three Republican senators who voted against the BBB, and happily explained his decision on WHAS Radio. We also discussed the benefits of tariffs (Rand Paul opposes them) and winnowing out certain un...
