Speaker 1 (00:00):
DIDs Ato four here news Randy eight forty whas coffee
and company with you, and we are fueled by Thornton's
and we have had ourselves quite the morning. We are
currently in a flash flood morning up until eleven fifteen
am here in Louisville. Also surrounding counties. Is the severe
weather as far as heavy thunderstorms, heavy winds, that's in
the rear view, but certainly it left an impact and rain.
(00:20):
A lot of it came down. There could still be
some in the area, although most of it, I would
assume at this point is out of the way. So
it's been a busy morning and we now get the
eight o'clock hour started by welcoming in Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg.
Mayor Greenberg, first of all, how are you this morning?
Hows how's this weather impacted you so far here today?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well, we're doing our recovery right now, you know, reconnaissance
across the entire city. Of course, it happened while most
people were sleeping, so we do know that some people
are still without power. We have one report so far
where we have you know, some barricades with some high
water around six mile in Hurstbourne Lane, and we've got
only right now, as of about well a little bit
(00:59):
of go, we only had six tree reports in terms
of trees down. So my guess is that rows as
I get updated reports and as people wake up and
are calling things in.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
But so far, I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Unaware of any injuries or anything like that. So that's
that's the best news. And I'll, you know, continue to
get updated and we'll respond as needed. I encourage people
if there is damage, if there are trees down, please
call three one one so that we can be aware
of any damage that happened as a result of the
storm that came through very earlier this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I can tell you the numbers are heading in the
right direction when it comes to power outage. Just so
that's good and it doesn't seem like something you should
need to remind people, but you do need to remind people.
Don't drive into water that looks like it. If it's
risk it looks risky, don't risk it because I know
many people earn the hard way that your vehicle not
supposed to be anywhere near underwater. So again everybody stays sicky.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
The two pieces of vehicle advice we have or don't
drive through standing water and know how tall your semi
truck is if you're driving under overpass.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Absolutely so that actually leads to the next question. Overall,
I think the sixty five shut down big picture has
been has been rather smooth. I'm someone that's more so
wired to expect the worst and you know, hope for
the best, and I think it's been rather smooth overall,
all things considered, when you think about just some of
the potential issues you could have. But the one issue
that has yet to go away is the is the
(02:18):
can opener as they call it.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Here's my theory. I want to get your thoughts.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I think all it takes one of the thousands of
trucks that come through to not know how tall their
truck is and not have the Because we know that
truck drivers reach out and say, hey, look, if you
have the the the standard GPS system that a vehicle
uses like any any you know, sedan or or mid
sized vehicle, it doesn't know how tall your truck is.
A lot of truck drivers have GPS that knows where
(02:44):
they can and can't go. But all it takes is
one that doesn't have it and they learn the hard way.
That's my that's what that's my guess as far as
how we still have yet to really eliminate that totally.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
That has to be part of it, Nick, But there
are signs that are up. That's what I don't understand.
I assume drivers know how tall their truck is. They
need to know how tall their truck is, and there
are signs that make it very clear how tall the
you know, the passage is. So I feel sorry for them,
but you know, you got to know how tall your
(03:16):
truck was when you're driving. But we've put up ample signage.
We've been out there responding. I think the incident have
gone down there, and you know, I'm thankful the KYTC
is moving through this job with haste. They seem to
be a little bit of head of schedule right now,
which is good news. You don't know what's going to happen,
(03:36):
so we're still on the same overall schedule. But I
do I appreciate the community responding uh with with patients,
and you know, we knew there was going to be
some impact, and I'm pleased that it's it's not as
bad as some people thought.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Little of Mayor Kraig Greenberger with us here at NewsRadio
eight forty w h as we did here earlier this
week from you, that we're going to have to postpone
a parade, but it's for good reason. It's because the
Louisville King's after winning the UFL championship, they've got some
guys that have already found some other employment in the NFL.
So that's good news that that's the reason why we're
having to wait. But how about a debut season for
(04:10):
Chris Redmond in the Louisville Kings. It was awesome to
see them really turn their season around and never look back.
I think the Chris Redmond element here, a guy that
is from Louisville set records for his father Bob at
Male High School, came to Louisville to play quarterback before
it was really the cool thing to do with guys
like Teddy Bridgeboughter and Lamar Jackson, and sure enough had
a great career, won a Super Bowl, and then after
(04:32):
many many years not in coaching, he decides to follow
in his dad's footsteps, becomes a head coach and wins
a championship for a city. I can get a little
corny when it comes to sports, but it sounds like
something you hear in a movie.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Oh absolutely, It's an amazing story. And we are so
fortunate to have coach Redmond and his leadership.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Of the Kings this year.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
You know, he's been actively involved in the community four
years at this where he's raising his family with his wife,
and this extended family has made such a positive impact
on this community, and this is so wonderful. He did
a great job. I mean, I know people are getting
worried with that to three start, but all the games
were fun. They were well attended, three thousand people a game.
(05:13):
I think it was just second in attendance of all
of the teams in the entire league.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
The viewership was I think good for the league overall.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And I think our game, one of our games, is
the highest watch game of the entire UFL season.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
So I'm hopeful that the league is very happy.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
We're in close touch with them right now, literally every
day talking about this.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I'm encouraging them.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Let's you know, we would definitely want to do a celebration,
that's right. But I was thrilled yesterday see that three
members of the Kings were signed by NFL teams. That's great,
that's what the league is there for and so we
will definitely do something to honor coach Redmond and the team.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
You know, we'll do it at a time here in
the near future.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
There's not many things right now I trust more than
Downtown Tanner Brown's leg. This guy's making multi sixty yard
field goals in a game, and he's now teaming up
with the former Louisville cardinal Tyler Schuck with the Saints.
So yeah, it was a fun season and really happy
for Chris Redman. I could tell you know, any coach
that was given the opportunity to lead the team, I'm
(06:15):
sure they would have wanted to win because they're competitors.
That's what you want to do. But there was certainly
an element with coach Redmon that he wanted to win
for Louisville, and I loved hearing him talk about even
though they got their first win, he still felt like, look,
I want this thing to be successful, and I don't
think we're there yet. I'm going to take a risk
and make some changes, and certainly it all worked out
all right. So I wanted to shift gears here. I
know recently you shared that you were welcoming some film
(06:37):
industry leaders to the Louisville area, and it's because we've
expanded the film industry presence here in Kentucky and of
course in Louisville as well. I'm someone who just thinks
this is really cool to hear about the movies that
have recently been filmed in Louisville. Some that you can
go to the movies and watch, or some that you
can pull up on the streaming platforms and you can see, Okay, wow,
that's a famous actor or an actress, and I know
exactly where they are.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
They're in our city.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Think it's cool, But what are the added benefits we
get here in Louisville when these kind of things happen.
When you bring some feature films here and this is
where they want to set up and put their project together.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, I would say it's two big benefits. First, it's
great for our economy. It's great for job creation. This
is a whole new industry, and the jobs that support
the film and TV production industry are good paying, career
path jobs. Behind the scenes, its not just about the
actors and actresses. It's about all the folks that work
to make the productions happen. And there's editing there's camera people,
(07:33):
there's designers. There's so many long lists of good paying
careers that go along with us, and so we're getting
a year round group that, you know, we are hoping
will be well employed all year round because we've got
so much going on. And so in addition to some
of the films that have shot here so far, which
(07:54):
come in, they set up, you know, all their other
sites and everything, and then they're gone, we're working on
permanent production studios as well. The Louisville Gardens is the
best known one, and there are a couple others around
the city as well that are in various stages of
development right now. And when that happens, it's really going
to turbo charge the industry. The state has a good
state tax credit that's been lory these folks here, and
(08:17):
we've been rolling out the red carpet and our five
h two film Commission had some people in from the
entertainment industry this week, so I was proud to welcome
them and tell them all the reasons why they should
shoot films and TV series here.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
All right, So with the summer in full effect here
where we're not far from celebrating fourth of July, the
two hundred and fiftieth Celebration of America. But I know
that leads to parents needing to keep their kids occupied,
keeping them busy. What are some things here in the
city that parents should know about and kids should know
about as far as things they can do to make
good use of their time during summer break.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah, we've got a ton going on.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I would encourage parents to bring their kids to the library.
We have a wonderful summer reading program that's a lot
of fun for kids. It's got prizes. There's also a
lot of other pro at our libraries in addition to
just the summer reading program that you can do at
home or the library. And we have new libraries that
are great safe places for families that I encourage folks
to check out. At our community centers, we have parks
(09:12):
and programs as well, if.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
You haven't checked out.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Two summers ago we opened the new Algonquin Park Pool,
which is a world class water park, and this year
we did it again at Camp Taylor and at Camp
Taylor Park, And if you would like to go check
those out. There are great places. There's all sorts of
different things to do. It's far more than just a Pool,
there are true water parks. Those are some of the things.
(09:35):
Then also we have something called the Cultural Pass, which
I encourage families to sign up for. It's free admission
to about fifty locations around the community. Places that ordinarily
maybe you might have to pay for. During the summer,
families can get in for free. So lots of museums
and other experiences that are free for families if you
sign up at the Cultural Pass. There's information about all
(09:58):
this stuff online, but they're definitely is a lot to
do here this summer.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
All right, Mary.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Greenberg, we have Fourth of July that you mentioned. We're
gonna have a big Fourth of July celebration with America
two fifty. We're gonna start in the morning at Locust
Grove at eleven am on the steps of Metro Hall.
I'm going to have a great we even.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Some of the cast members of Hamilton are going to
join us.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
And then at night we're gonna have a bigger than
usual for Fourth of July fireworks show and a great
thing down at the Great Lawn. Wayne Hettinger, who's behind
sunder Over Louisville, is doing that as well, So it's
gonna be a great fourth of July for the community.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
So we've got Father's Day coming up this weekend. Any
big plans for you? Are you going to be able
to spend some time with Daniel and Ben?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Well, they are not in town right now, so Rachel
and I will be with my dad Ron. We're looking
forward to spending some family time together with him, but
unfortunately I won't be with my boys. They're out of
town and doing well. But we communicate every day and
I love them both, and being a father is truly
the greatest joy of my entire life.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
No, I can echo that there's nothing quite like being
a dad. They get to celebrate us, and we get
to celebrate our dads this weekend, which I'm sure many
are looking forward to doing. But I'm gonna put you
on the spot here. This is something I'm gonna do
tomorrow on the show. More so as we get closer
to Father's Day. When I when I say TV Dad,
who's the first TV Dad that comes to mind for you?
Somebody that you feel like, you know, outside of the
(11:18):
great parenting you got from your own dad, somebody you
felt like through the television was was a father figure.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
TV Dad. That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
From Weslow from Family Matters is the one, just because
I was obsessed with family matters Arkle.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
That was it was a little kid and he he
was a cop.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
There was some good educational things that came up throughout that.
Throughout that that sitcom that that you know, taught me
a little bit about life that you know, I hadn't
experienced just yet.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
But that's the one that comes to mind for me.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I was thinking, what about Tim Allen was at Home Improvement?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Oh yeah, absolutely, I mean.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah, that's he stops into my mind as well. But
that's that's taking us back a little bit.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah no, that's that's the same era as my So, yeah,
Tim Allen and Home Improvement, that's a good one. And
also in a weird way. If you remember they had
the neighbor. You never saw his face. He was always
across that right behind the bench. But he actually might
have provided like the father father type wisdom more so
than anybody.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Right, that's right, that's right, so good stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Right, Well, make Greenberg thank you so much for making
time for us on a busy morning as we've got
some storms in the area. But again, thank you so much,
and enjoy your week. And enjoy Father's Day and we'll
talk soon, all.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Right, Take care, Nick, And I'm very glad that we
found the folks at to face that sign at Fern Creek.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Park with the Miracle lead. That was totally horrific.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
And I'm glad that our team, our park Rangers and
LLMPD got on that right away. I know that's an
important place to you and your family, as it is
to so many other families in the levelle.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yes, sir, thank you so much for sharing that. Take
care mister Greenberg.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
All right.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So, yes, if those who don't know mister Greenberg and
his wife Rachel, they've been out and experienced the Miracle League,
which you should if you haven't yet, because it is awesome.
And I've been telling him, hey, it's pretty cool. And
then sure enough they got him to come out a
couple of seasons ago to be a part of it.
And I know they came back out once again earlier
this year. So that's the kind of experience and atmosphere
that you get. So I appreciate him mentioning that
DIDs Ato four here news Randy eight forty whas coffee
and company with you, and we are fueled by Thornton's
and we have had ourselves quite the morning. We are
currently in a flash flood morning up until eleven fifteen

of fun for kids. It's got prizes. There's also a
lot of other pro at our libraries in addition to
just the summer reading program that you can do at
home or the library. And we have new libraries that
are great safe places for families that I encourage folks
to check out. At our community centers, we have parks
(09:12):
and programs as well, if.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
You haven't checked out.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Two summers ago we opened the new Algonquin Park Pool,
which is a world class water park, and this year
we did it again at Camp Taylor and at Camp
Taylor Park, And if you would like to go check
those out. There are great places. There's all sorts of
different things to do. It's far more than just a Pool,
there are true water parks. Those are some of the things.
(09:35):
Then also we have something called the Cultural Pass, which
I encourage families to sign up for. It's free admission
to about fifty locations around the community. Places that ordinarily
maybe you might have to pay for. During the summer,
families can get in for free. So lots of museums
and other experiences that are free for families if you
sign up at the Cultural Pass. There's information about all
(09:58):
this stuff online, but they're definitely is a lot to
do here this summer.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
All right, Mary.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Greenberg, we have Fourth of July that you mentioned. We're
gonna have a big Fourth of July celebration with America
two fifty. We're gonna start in the morning at Locust
Grove at eleven am on the steps of Metro Hall.
I'm going to have a great we even.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Some of the cast members of Hamilton are going to
join us.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
And then at night we're gonna have a bigger than
usual for Fourth of July fireworks show and a great
thing down at the Great Lawn. Wayne Hettinger, who's behind
sunder Over Louisville, is doing that as well, So it's
gonna be a great fourth of July for the community.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
So we've got Father's Day coming up this weekend. Any
big plans for you? Are you going to be able
to spend some time with Daniel and Ben?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Well, they are not in town right now, so Rachel
and I will be with my dad Ron. We're looking
forward to spending some family time together with him, but
unfortunately I won't be with my boys. They're out of
town and doing well. But we communicate every day and
I love them both, and being a father is truly
the greatest joy of my entire life.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
No, I can echo that there's nothing quite like being
a dad. They get to celebrate us, and we get
to celebrate our dads this weekend, which I'm sure many
are looking forward to doing. But I'm gonna put you
on the spot here. This is something I'm gonna do
tomorrow on the show. More so as we get closer
to Father's Day. When I when I say TV Dad,
who's the first TV Dad that comes to mind for you?
Somebody that you feel like, you know, outside of the
(11:18):
great parenting you got from your own dad, somebody you
felt like through the television was was a father figure.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
TV Dad. That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
From Weslow from Family Matters is the one, just because
I was obsessed with family matters Arkle.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
That was it was a little kid and he he
was a cop.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
There was some good educational things that came up throughout that.
Throughout that that sitcom that that you know, taught me
a little bit about life that you know, I hadn't
experienced just yet.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
But that's the one that comes to mind for me.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I was thinking, what about Tim Allen was at Home Improvement?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Oh yeah, absolutely, I mean.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah, that's he stops into my mind as well. But
that's that's taking us back a little bit.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah no, that's that's the same era as my So, yeah,
Tim Allen and Home Improvement, that's a good one. And
also in a weird way. If you remember they had
the neighbor. You never saw his face. He was always
across that right behind the bench. But he actually might
have provided like the father father type wisdom more so
than anybody.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Right, that's right, that's right, so good stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Right, Well, make Greenberg thank you so much for making
time for us on a busy morning as we've got
some storms in the area. But again, thank you so much,
and enjoy your week. And enjoy Father's Day and we'll
talk soon, all.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Right, Take care, Nick, And I'm very glad that we
found the folks at to face that sign at Fern Creek.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Park with the Miracle lead. That was totally horrific.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
And I'm glad that our team, our park Rangers and
LLMPD got on that right away. I know that's an
important place to you and your family, as it is
to so many other families in the levelle.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yes, sir, thank you so much for sharing that. Take
care mister Greenberg.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
All right.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So, yes, if those who don't know mister Greenberg and
his wife Rachel, they've been out and experienced the Miracle League,
which you should if you haven't yet, because it is awesome.
And I've been telling him, hey, it's pretty cool. And
then sure enough they got him to come out a
couple of seasons ago to be a part of it.
And I know they came back out once again earlier
this year. So that's the kind of experience and atmosphere
that you get. So I appreciate him mentioning that
