Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) checked in with Terry Meiners on WHAS to reveal as much as is legally possible regarding the U.S.'s reasoning for striking Iranian military installations over the weekend.

The Beasman was deeply saddened to hear Larry Minner back from vacation after assuring himself that Larry had died, was fired, or finally ran away from WH&S where he brings shame to the great radio station's name.

But he found solace in hearing what he thought was a shoutout to Kentucky Wildcat fans in President Trump's State of the Union Address following UK's basketball victory over big, bad South Carolina.

And of course, the Loserville Cardinal frauds are mired in a losing streak so Beasman is grinning from ear to ear!

"Before we go and ask for more money from Frankfort...

One of the WQMF owners called Terry just as he arrived home after resigning. Frank "Bo" Wood screamed at Terry "You're going to W-F'n-H-A-S and they'll fire you in 6 months. They're just trying to bust up our momentum (at WQMF)."

I wasn't allowed to say anything about my future radio job because WHAS management feared a tortious interference lawsuit from WQMF.

Just because Mark Pope's Kentucky Wildcats beat Arkansas in Fayetteville on Saturday, The Beasman is not convinced that the 2nd year UK coach is the right guy for the job. Too many other SEC coaches are touting Pope's fitness for the job so Beasman is convinced that it's all a conspiracy to keep an incompetent competitior in his job.
