human about everything. Boy, it's emotional day for me today.
(00:23):
We've got two people. I'm not gonna say anything. Two
fine young men. Well that's a lie, ones older than
I am. One fine young man, one old man. I'm
not saying fine, but I'll bring on the young one first. Anthony,

(01:04):
When the battle with the pillow, Anthony, the alarm went off.
I jumped right up. Didn't even have to fight with
the pillow. I was ready to go. So let's bring
on that other guy, Anthony. Other guy. Hey, hey, George Williams,
how you doing, mister Williams, how are you miss?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well, let me correct you, Jerry's because you really don't
know how to take it. All the goes in society.
When you're the senior member, you get recognized first. All
your juniors get recognized behind you, So you need to
learn that first of all. Okay, I should be the
first person introduced and not the second person, because I
am a senior to you young men, and you want
(01:42):
to get to where I want to get. So I
can explain some other things to you, but I won't
do that today, So let me start with that. Okay,
remember who your seniors are and respect them, my brother,
respect them. Len't be disrespect you've been talk about. I
know this.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I have to.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
It's mandatory. It's mandatory, even if the show show it's mandatory.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I have to, God.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Right right, I know I would bring into it. That's
why I thought i'd do that today. You know I
would like to hit you at one when you're not ready.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Frank, Frank upset with me. I have to I have
to agree with that. Hey, guys, I know we're gonna
let you have the national news, but Dang and Chanons
got this loaded and we want to play it. So everyone,
I want you to listen. This is the first part
of the show. And George, listen close.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Let it really The Kentucky Oaks will be run in
primetime between eight and nine o'clock. Right now, the race
runs just before six o'clock on the Friday before Derby.
Wk Why News chopper is giving us a beautiful view
of the track right now. So what does today's announcement
mean for the timing of the Oaks Race? W k
wis Madison. Elliott is live outside of Churchill Downs for
(02:58):
us tonight. Madison.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
It means the race is being pushed back by nearly
two hours, and we spoke to officials here today who
say it will put the race on the national stage
it deserves. For the first time ever, Thoroughbred racing's best
three year old Phillies will take off in prime time
in twenty twenty six. And this change comes after the
(03:22):
twenty twenty five Kentucky Derby became the most watched on
TV since nineteen eighty nine with an average viewership of
nearly eighteen million.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
So what that really told us is there is an
appetite for this sport now.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
They want to use this momentum to further grow the
Kentucky Oaks and reach out to new audiences like on
the West coast.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
But what we.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Really think will find is that a bigger Kentucky Oaks
means a bigger Kentucky Derby, and everyone in Louisville benefits
from the growth of that.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
They anticipate in its first year.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
This change, Jennet, you can cut it, okay, Anthony. George, Well,
look I have always back Churchill Downs.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
You don't know that.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I had one person George in my football in my
basketball contest for the final four, said his nickname his
handle was Jerry Bend's the knee to Churchill Downs. Because
he's given me a hard time because I kind of
backed Churchill Downs. Okay, George, somebody hit me with this.
(04:28):
On Friday, I had the Friday Paper dead in front
of me, but the front page was talking about the profit,
the record profits Churchill Downs had made, so I hadn't
gotten to the back page, page three of Churchill Downs.
On Friday George, which said Kentucky o shifts to primetime
slot for twenty twenty six for the first time. Here,
(04:53):
let me say that to you again. It's been run
George right before six o'clock for one hundred and fifty
one years.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
George.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So now Churchill Downs, okay, which is done a fine
job of building its brand. I understand it. That's why everyone,
that's why you all hear me stand up for the athletes.
Every business chases profits, but when it comes to athletics,
(05:24):
college will have all kind of legislation. Got me, but
we'll never see legislation on this. But when it comes
to those college athletes, guys just giving it to you straight,
we're gonna I I have all kinds of legislation. So George,
it's on at page three when it should have been.
What started off the article is that Kentucky Oaks has
(05:45):
moved to eight pm to eight and nine on NBC
and Peacock. So here's the deal, so everyone will know
because they probably missed it. Also, Kentucky Oaks shifts to
primetime slot and six for the first time. Church of
Downs also announced Thursday that the Kentucky Oaks is moving
(06:06):
is making a move to prime time for the first
time in its history. Next year's running, the Kentucky Oots
one hundred and fifty second on May one, twenty twenty six,
will air at eight pm Eastern Standard, both on NBC
and p COCK. With the shift of prime time, the
race will be and after Anon Spectacular with the twilight Final.
(06:26):
Got me, George, So the Olds post time top typically
is between five fifty and six fifteen, with two races
scheduled after the Kentucky Oats crosses finish line. Okay, not anymore.
The Kentucky Oaks will be the last race of the day. Okay,
church Well, it's gonna be eleven o'clock, so it's gotta be.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
So this is one, guys minimum.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I'm not bending the knee for Churchill Downs. I love
Churchill Down. I want to do everything viable to keep
it growing the way it is. I love eighteen million
people watching the race. I do I know, George. We
know the people on the backside. I know them now.
I know a lot of them personally, George, But this
one here I came back. So my opinion is, boy,
(07:12):
they just cut the throat of a lot of restaurants, George,
which are some of my sponsors, because within eight to
nine o'clock start, George, what happens to the parties? The
Barn States, all the parties I'm going through. You remember
Junior Bridgmand, the Late Great Juniors parties. All the parties
now have to be backed up more, George. People are
gonna leave the track till they won't get to their
(07:33):
hotels till ten thirty. George getting out of that tra
and you know it. So what's happened George? Your opinion?
For I thought, Anthony, what has happened?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Well, same thing we talk about every time we talk
about the Jed Greed. You know what I'm saying. I mean,
this has been run like this, and now that they're
gonna get more money and the TV revenue is gonna
look good. You know, the ratings came up. So whatever
they can do to increase the ratings Jay and get
more commercial endorsement, that's what they're gonna do. They're not
worried about consumer they're not worried about what's gonna go
(08:02):
on in Louisville. They've worried about our profit Lane and
how much we can make off of this event. And
they're going to feature and that's all it's gonna be said.
You know, TV push it to a needle, jare okay
there and nothing to do with churchy downs anymore. And
then do it church you down.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
There, the track, you're right, the track, the figure, you're
right over all Fourth Street. I agree with you hundred
per Anthony is a young fellow. You weren't around like
George and I. We've been raised, We've gone. I have
gone to Kentucky Oates. Our whole family used to go
Anthony when I was a small kid. It was a
family event. We all went. It was great. So Andy,
(08:43):
what do you think now pushing it back from six
pm to eight pm? As a young person, what do
you think?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
We all know it's it's it's for a money aspect. Obviously,
the viewership has been growing all on the West Coast
too as well in California. So the same movie back
to eight o'clock gives people on the West Coast more
time to be able to watch the race and event
getting off work, even people that are here. And the
thing is most people, you know, they take off for
(09:12):
Derby weekend. When it comes to thrty Oaks and Derby
itself on Saturday. They kind of weekend alone of work
is usually slower at most places because of all these
events going on, but it gives people the opportunity that
I guess we're even working keeping go to the track
if they do Wish show. And obviously you know for
Viewship it's it's all money purpose because we've even talked
about it that Derby and Oaks now is more as
(09:34):
it's been a worldwide event for forever, and even the
ticket prices are going on there so much that is
hard the Louisville people in Kentucky to even at ten anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Okay, No, a great point, and great point throwing it
back to you, George before I throw interject on that price,
Anthony brought up a great point. The price point now, George,
is almost the price point for the tickets has almost
priced itself out of normal regular people that used to
like my family enjoyed the Kentucky Oaks. George, I grew
(10:07):
up in Newburgh. I want people to understand there were
seven of us and a one three bedroom, one bedroom house.
Thought I was rich. George drank water out of a
hose got me, but my dad could afford to take
us all Friday, we'd go out. We made a day
of it. Anthony's correct, he wouldn't go to work. We
had relatives in. We went out on Friday. We had
(10:28):
a ball. Now, George, I do want to throw in
that because of my grandmother. Yes, we had four seats
grandson seats two furlongs from the finish line. Yes we did.
They've been in the family since the fifties. Got me, George,
because my grandmother, my dad's mother. But we didn't sit
in them. That's where the people that came out of town.
Grandmother gave those days, the personal relatives. We set all
(10:51):
the way on the far side, George, right at the turn,
the last turn, and cheered for the horses and had
a ball. You got me. Those days are gone. What
do you think, Georgia Churchill Downs priced out local people.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Jerry, I don't think Churchill Downs in the last five
to ten years is worried about what the local people
think about the Derby. It's all been catered to the
out of town. Yes, Jerry, you know what I mean.
You think And to confirm what I'm saying is we
used to have what it called Thursday thirty for the
local people. It got so proper, it got so poffitable, Jerry,
(11:28):
and got so good. Now they don't move to local
people to what Tuesday, You know what I'm saying. So
it just lets you know that we're not worried about
the local dollar because the money then, the people that's
gonna make the money for Churchill Downs are coming from
out of town and never going to spend the most money.
And they don't matter what the price is because we
look at like how much it costs to get in
church of there, Well, they don't think about it because
they're only coming one time a year and it's all
(11:50):
right with them. So I don't think the local dollar
is what they're worried about no more, Jared. It's the
national dollar. And you see they don't moved it all
the ways back out one hundred and some years. Do
we really care? We're with to the bob, how much
you're going to pay us?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Well, George, Anthony, Anthony, great point. That is the bottom
line for everyone listening. Churchill downs is averaging out the money.
There was a day when the locals helped drive that
true economy. Now this is what someone said to me, George,
and I just want to speak to my Churchill Downs friends.
(12:26):
They said, you're correct the week of the derby, which
is where they make the majority of their money. George
web to stand. But there's still money made during those
spring and summer events that they have at Churchill Downs,
when it is driven by local gamblers, local people going out.
My brother got me, my dad went out. No, I
(12:48):
want you all to understand. My dad loved to bet
on horse racing. He did. That was one of his vices.
I had to say, was a vice that probably mom
wasn't happy if he go to church. He still went. Okay, George,
he did. The local people can touch you. Churchill Downs.
Don't get so big that you don't think local people
(13:10):
can affect bottom line, because they can, George. They can
because there's still quite a bit of racing goes on
after that. So this one here, I mean, golly Bill Karstagnan,
the CEO Churchill Downs. They did say in the article George,
(13:31):
that they would not they did not see the movie.
The start time of the Kentucky Derby back, but it's
on Saturday, so there's no reason to do it. It
is primetimes disappointing, is disappointing, it's disappointing George. Is disappointing George.
It's just godly George. Okay, here's the problem. Logistically, last
(13:55):
year we had a rain delay. If there's a rain
to lay bad weather, George, and it's an eight thirty start,
you have a hard time seeing the race. I don't
care what kind of cameras we have. I don't care
what kind of lightning system you are, George.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
So I know it, Jed. It made me. You made
me think about that, and you're so right. It will
be a nightmare. I would just thinking how I will
feel sitting on the sidelines. There been there all day
since about seven o'clock. It's eleven o'clock and I can't
see a faith I can't even tell who's coming around.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And then, yeah, why I go to the If you're
gonna have to watch it on television, yes, there are
a thousand televisions.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Well, I think that's what they care about you.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yes, people will be able to watch it on TV.
But if you go to Church of Downs, George, you
want to go to the rail. You don't want to
watch it on TV, and you want to watch the horses.
You want to see it in person. That's why you're
at the track but at an eight thirty start and
it's dark and it's inclement weather. Oh, Church or Downs,
you're cutting it mighty close. All I can say is
(14:53):
you're cutting it mighty close, George, to where people have
a hard time seeing the race. It would that be horrific,
would be in mine.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Ye, well that's what the uh well Church of Down
will still make their property to be on the TV
station and then that will make them consider. Then that
will make them consider why that they've been having it
like they've had it for so many years, Jared. So
you know it's gonna be something to see and you know,
like and one thing I always say, we always complain
about change and think how bad it's going to be,
(15:21):
and it may work out well, But I don't know, Jerry.
I'm with you here on this one because I've tried
them any years and the time I.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Thought that there, I I backed Church. Everyone knows that now.
But this one, and I mean I told them guys,
we have to go with it. We must make the
tax revenue.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I'm gone.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I know my speech you all I have not forgotten.
But this one, this one, George just doesn't sit properly
with what well, but we'll have to wait and see,
like you say, George, will have to wait and see.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
We hope one thing you got to understand, Jack, thing
I understand about I'll say ten years, maybe longer. That
the Derby used to be at five thirty. It moved
at the seventh. Yes, I mean so it's been moved.
So now if it works better for them, if this
works for the Oaks, Jair, I believe that the Derby
would be moved back to hour.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I still think prime. I think Primetime on Saturday is
pretty much where they got at George. It's four o'clock,
that's post time, you know, three thirty four, six thirties,
because they get the best of both worlds there on
a Saturday. I don't think. I hope you but wait
and see.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I just don't on the side I believe that. Ye
we all believe that we've been waiting for the move.
We wasn't expecting the Oaks, but we did expect the
Derby to move back.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Everyone knows im back Churchill, Downsman, this one, this was
the one that I'll have to wait and see. So George, Anthony,
Anthony want to let you go on this because you do,
you have gone to horse racing events, you know more
about the track actual the way during the betting last year,
wasn't it complete? The seats didn't sell until the last two.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Days, guys.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
I just want you all to know that. But we
had the largest rating ever, Anthony eighteen million. Television just
taking over everything, George, Anthony, is is it taking over everything?
It's all about TV ratings, TV money and Anthony, is
that what is truly driving the athletic business in the
United States?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Now it's a it's a higher percentage, but it's it's
just more affordable. And that's just kind of the market's
going to most people, you know, they like to be
at home, relax, they have friends and family, over watch games,
watch events. You have to worry about the houseboom and
bust and being hectic, parking, cost of food, snacks and
(17:44):
other things. So TV ratings are kind of taken over
in aspect, and we're kind of the same way. You know,
for the most part, big games are wrong, we're usually
just watching it that at home. It's just more if
it comes to.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Be You're right, it's more affordable, No, I no matter
what they charge you for cable anthonys hundredcent. Correct, George,
it's cheaper than going it's expensive to go to games, racetrack,
it's expensive. Got Sporting events are a lot of money
now period. There are a lot of well guys. I
posted the nineteen eighty NCAA Championship ticket was fifteen dollars, George,
(18:19):
fifteen dollars. That's what the cost was. Fifteen dollars. I
bought them last year to the final four. George. They're
three twenty five a ticket. Three hundred and twenty five
dollars a ticket, got me three and twenty five dollars
a ticket, George. So anyway, guys, let's get to break
seven twenty four. When we come back. We got a
bunch of news to touch and we will Eve Sports
(18:41):
Radio for numbers five zero two five seven one seventy
nine hundred. If you disagree about Churchill downs or agree,
let me know, give us a call five zero two
five seven one seventy nine hundred. We'll talk to you
all in a minute. Welcome back to EVE Sports Radio
in twenty eight George Anthony, I'm looking at today's paper
(19:05):
and there's a pretty good segment to this. When we
were talking about the Derby move and it's ask second
page of the career turn the third page, could we
see Kentucky Derby move to primetime in future?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
The one hundred and fift.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
So first was the best?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Was the best?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Now they said they weren't a movie though, let me
read it to you. Jet was the best NBC Sports,
which is the twenty fifth year of broadcasting. The race
average seventeen point seven million viewers and saw a peak
audience of twenty one point eight million from seven to
seven to fifteen. That was the largest run for the
Roses viewership since nineteen eighty nine and represented a six
percent increase in ratings in an eight percent and peak
(19:44):
audience from Derby one fifty. Okay, George is the first
Saturday in May going to primetime two? The young man said,
it's let me get to it, ur because it's a
long runcole it I would say it's very unlikely we
would toy with the formula. I think what we take
(20:05):
for granted here locally is exactly what Anthony said, is
that we treat oaks today like a holiday. She said,
excuse me when you think about this nationally. Most of
the race day is concluded while people, especially if you're
considered the West Coast at work and not able to
tune in. So no, George, they say, we don't have
the same motivation when it comes to Derby because we've
(20:27):
already captured that target audience successfully over the years. So George,
they're saying that they're not gonna move it. That's what
they said in today's paper. So we'll wait and see.
But Golly, Jerry's loves Church of Downs and I do
I talk about the economic intingpacked I do. I'm not
gonna say I'm not just jumping ship like everybody says.
(20:49):
I've changed my license plates. No, because there is economic
impacked with all those people coming in, all those Leri
jets at bowman Field and at the airport Muhammad Ali Internet, George,
all the money, all the hotels, all the restaurants. But
this move I'm just not sure on. So we'll have
to wait and see. We'll get I'll have a chance
(21:10):
to talk to Darren Rodgers, I'm sure, and Darren will
be able to explain to me better why they would
make this move. But right now, George, I'm standing on
the other side of the fence because I was one
of those little kids at seven years old. It was
a holiday in the sixties and we were going out
and joining the Kentucky Oats. That was our derby day.
(21:30):
And well, like you say, George's Tuesday, now.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Get over it. That's the truth.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
It is the truth. So Anthony, well you get moving.
Let's throw it to you. What happened in Major League Baseball?
I need a little national news major League Hall of Fame, Anthony,
what happened?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Well?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Actually I wanted to read a couple of other things
out before we did get into that.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
But what have you got time for? What? If you
have time for, you do your thing.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
No, of course we're gonna stay on task, because I
don't want to get sidetracked. Obviously, in Major League Baseball,
we are talking about e Ro Suzuki became the first
Japanese born player to be to be enshrined into the National.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Baseball Hall of Fame Sunday. He's one of five new
members of Baseball's hallowed institution, which is a great accomplishment.
I remember him playing when I was a kid. That's
a that's a crazy how long.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Ago it's been mm hmm. He was really good, but
he could hit anything. He could hit any pitch, George,
any pitch, George.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
They threw one.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
The ball bounced at the fact fact, George, the picture
threw it. The ball bounced before it got to home plate.
It bounced up. He hit it for a single. He

that he hit it for a single. George, go ahead, hands.
Speaker 3 (22:54):

Speaker 2 (22:54):

I called in a little earlier but didn't get in
through when you all were talking about the dir BE
and everything. But my background, I grew up in the
food service restaurant industry my whole life. Mom and dad
had a restaurant growing up. When I was a kid.
(25:10):
My dad ran the commissary at the Ireland Army Hospital
in Port Knox. But I grew up in my twenties,
thirties and forties in Louisville and I worked for the
Bristol barn Grill. I worked down downtown in the Kentucky
Arts Center when it was in the Kentucky Art Center
(25:30):
before it moved down on the other side of Main Street.
I worked at Barnstown Road. I worked out Athurstbourne Lane.
I worked for Doug Gossman, great guy. But you were
talking about the change in time, and I just tell
you when I worked there, it was you know, we
(25:51):
stayed up until last call was three thirty in the morning.
We showed food, full service food. You could come in
get anything off the menu till three o'clock in the
morning and as soon as the derby lay out. In
twenty minutes, the whole restaurant filled up, all the private
rooms upstairs, the whole patio filled up. So by six
point thirty until three point thirty in the morning, the
(26:15):
place was completely full. Didn't stop, and of course, you
know it was the busiest day of the year. And
the same thing.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
With the Oaks, with a little bit.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Less of attendance, but still the same.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Vibe. And you know, with the with the time.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Like you talked about, it affects everything that the businesses.
They'll just have to adapt and adjust. They'll have to
have events in house where they invite people to watch
the derby, things like that. You just have to be creative.
A lot of things have changed in the restaurant industry.
There's used to just be Barts down road and then
it turned into Branford Avenue started getting a lot of businesses.
(26:58):
Then they developed a new lou district. Then German Town
blew up and now like for instance, yep, yep, the
Bristol arm Barstown roads only open until ten o'clock during
the week at eleven o'clock on Fridays and Saturdays because.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Then they don't move this so technically, you don't believe
it affect us anyway. How do you think it'll be
bad business?
Speaker 6 (27:21):
You just like, like like Jay was said, it will,
We just have to wait and see. I think the
restaurants just have to be creative, uh, you know, inviting
guests and getting prepaid for things like that, where it's
an event somewhere to go other than the track. Because
the track hasn't lost its attendance. They're getting out of stake.
I mean they're getting record attendances, but you know they
(27:44):
want the TV revenue also, so the local people just
have to figure out a way to get around it.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So now you do not where do you live right now?
You do not live in the live You're in Florida, correct.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
I live in Daytona.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
I live in Daytona. Remember I was at all the
golf courses.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
And you do watch the Kentucky Oats on Friday? You
do try to watch the racenter.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
Oh yeah yeah, Like like I said, I've worked in
the restaurant business my whole life. I've been to the
track one hundred times, but I've never been on Derby
or Oaks because all he's working and yeah of course, yeah, yeah,
and even down here in Florida, everybody stops what they're
doing and watches the race. I've worked at golf courses
and they'll have parties and events. They'll fill the whole clubhouse.
(28:29):
Everybody will bet on the race, just like you're in
the Louisville so you know, on a lower scale, it's
a national event too. It's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
It's a big deal. Okay, well, excellent, but we appreciate it, Johnny,
thanks for your input.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Yeah, and one other time I'll call it back because
it takes a little while. Down at the Kentucky Arts Center,
you know, they moved to Main Street on the other side,
and when they built the Muhammad All East Center, and
I'll tell you a great story about Mohammad. I don't
know if we have time for it now. If not,
I'll call another time.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Hit me another time on that. Hit me another time
on that because I've got to get the break in. Yeah,
get the ess is. But we'll talk about that. Appreciate it, john.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Okay, later, thanks for your call. All right.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Bye, Well, guys, we have someone who thinks the restaurants
will have to adapt on Friday. It's mighty late, George.
I know people stay out all night, but it is
still mighty late. It's still mighty late. But I understand
good point. I never thought about that. They stay open later. Yes,
they do make a lot of money during that period. George,
we have to wait and see. I'm usually with Churchill
(29:34):
downs guys. This time, I'm just I'm not feeling it.
I don't like Johnny said. The ViBe's not good. So anyway, Anthey,
you got any other national news we have When we
get to our second break, it's already seven thirty eight,
we're sixty percent gone. What else do you have for men?
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
The last thing I had on there.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
I just wanted to know if you and George knew
about the guy by the name of Dwight Mahina KWin,
the Hall of Fame boxer.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I've heard of it, man, Yeah, I've seen it.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I haven't No, I haven't in for me.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, yeah, middle It was a Hall.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Of Fame fighter.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
He took up boxing in prison and became a two
times two weight world champion, but he did pass away.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yesterday at the age of seventy two. He said he
had been fighting dementia for the last five years.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
He was born in Baltimore, Maryland grew up in Camden,
but he put it out of a boxing program on
Rawley State Prison while everyone was serving a sentence for
armed robbery in Termed Professional Age twenty five soon after
release in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Well, great point, and I like that. Let's go to
break seven point thirty nine. This is the sports radio
when we come back, deserving news in my opinion, But
I may have opinions on this one, and I'll be
waiting to hear them on numbers five year old two,
five seventy nine hundred. This is the sports radio. We'll
talk to you in a second.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Yeah, yeah, Sports radio.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
Time at seven forty three am. I think my dad
might have dropped off the call. This what happens when
he's you.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Know, he lives down in the dungeon down there, You
lose service pretty easily. And I got his new WiFi,
so you know, he's got no excuses now when he's
stopping at his call. Sir Williams, I'm telling you, well.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
And you got you got to understand this that we
we needed him to go out because he's a little
upset this morning, even when he got his little workout in.
He's probably outside doing some calls stains right about now.
You know, he's he's ready for the show. He was
probably too pumped up and we couldn't hold him back.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Yeah, you know, tech technology I think is his arch
nemesis sometimes, but it's okay, you catch you atone very
intelligent man.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
But sometimes you know the technologies that throw the water
under the bridge. So hopefully he calls back in here.
But we can always get into some more information.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
Of course, let's go.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, of course things are the things want to get into,
some of the that I keep seeing on my TV. Obviously,
I think a lot of people see on their TV.
The last couple of days, his NFL training camp is
already here. NFL seasons around the corner, probably less than
a month, and the first game of college football kicks
off August twenty third. When I tell you, I couldn't
be more excited.
Speaker 8 (32:15):
It feels like college.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Football was so long ago, but at the same time,
it feels like it was just a few weeks. Sco
This is kind of how it goes for me. But
we got a lot of big matchups even coming into
the earlier weeks of football's here.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
And then George George why'd you cut me off? Why'd
you do that?
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Here we go?
Speaker 8 (32:35):
It was only intentional, you know what I mean? I
thought I don't. I thought you said too much already,
and I thought you had to be done.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
See you did it. Well, Look we got it intentionally.
We're gonna go to break. When we come back, we're
gonna take our next callar stuff in Mac. We're gonna
give him a few minutes and then I'm gonna make
some more controversy, says the Switts radio site for the confusion.
George Williams did it Anthony, not Jerry, not Shannon. George
Eastworts Radio. We'll talk to you after the break. Welcome
(33:07):
back to Eve's Sports Radio. And yes I am here.
George cannot cut me off at seven forty nine, guys,
I want to introduce our next caller. He's a great guy.
He has flipped my insurance. He has saved me a
ton of money. Stephen Mac State Farm.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
How are you doing?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Welcome to the sports radio. How are you doing today?
Speaker 9 (33:27):
I'm doing fine? Jerry, Thank you man, thank you for
having me on.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Well, no, I appreciate you saving me some money. I'm
being honest with you. I always love to save some money,
and you did do that with my home and car insurance,
so I appreciate that, no question about it. You've helped
my wife with her rental properties. You've saved her money
with better coverage. I want people to understand with better
coverage than I had, so really quickly, because we don't
have a lot of time stuff tell me sure, tell
(33:53):
everybody how you got in the business, how you got started.
Speaker 9 (33:56):
Well, I guess we started about coming up on five
years in November, and I just always had a goal
to own my own business. And me and my wife
talked about it and had retired and gotten out of
logistics and decided to.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Do some research.
Speaker 9 (34:14):
But we were going into COVID by that about that time,
so we did our research and we settled on State Farm.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
I'm glad you did. No question about it now, really quickly.
Everyone wants to know how they save money insurance. But
I'm going to have them throughout the weeks with you
because you're going to stay with the Esports Radio. I'm
going to give you time to work. You'll be able
to explain to people the difference of insurance is why
they need to know things that the pitfalls a lot
(34:43):
of these insurance companies do not tell them the truth
on their deductible. All the things we have you do,
but really quickly, what is the key for everybody is
saving money insurance? How did they do that? So how
do you go about doing that?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Well?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
The number one as an interview.
Speaker 9 (34:57):
Make sure well as an ind of it, the number
one key is and I run across this a lot
to be it's almost surprising, but it's to bundle all
of your products together. That's how you save the most money.
There are other uh, you know, raising deductibles, changing coverages
(35:20):
and things like that, but for the most part, overall,
I would encourage everyone that meet with your insurance agent
and make sure you're bundling all of the all of
the products that they offer.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Because they come with the discounts. That's where the discounts
fall in.
Speaker 9 (35:37):
Sure you get like multi line discounts, you get multi
card discounts. You know, if you have certain other products
like life insurance, all of that, all of that plays
into savings. Overall savings that you can get from the carriers.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Well, what would do We'll get you by go on, Steve,
we're gonna talk more about this. I appreciate what you've
done for Jerry's of course, I will tell people save
me a ton of money with better coverage. With better coverage,
I'm not gonna throw the other insurance companies under the bus.
Are gonna do that, but we will definitely get you
back on steping and let you explain to people some
of there's a lot of issues with insurance that people
(36:19):
don't understand that I'm going to give you a chance
to speak about. So thanks for being a part of
Esports Radio.
Speaker 9 (36:24):
All right, well, thank you so much, Jarry. I appreciate
you having us on.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Thank you, no question.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Talk to you in a little bit. All right, guys, Look,
here's the deal, George. Honestly, EVE Sports Radio stays out
of politics. E Sports Radio tells everybody to vote. E
Sports Radio tells everybody that both parties tries to separate us.
I've always said that. I've always said that EVE Sports
(36:49):
Radio has told people to educate themselves. I've always said that.
But this one again, I'm not going into politics, guys,
not but when the United States denies Venezuela Little League
baseball team from participating in the Little League World Series,
that's sports. So don't say, stay in your lane. I
(37:09):
am in malane. I think our politicians need to get
back in their lane, period, point blank. Guys, if they
will not issue visus to the Venezuela thirteen to sixteen
year old little League baseball team that qualified to play,
Guys again, I'm in malane. Sports, George Williams used to
(37:37):
be the place to where it brought down barriers. It
brought them down and I built them up. When we're
denying little League baseball players thirteen to sixteen, these aren't
the ten to twelve. These are the thirteen to sixteen
year old that want to come and participate in the
Little League World Series. Just to give you a little
(37:59):
point of reference. And two thousand the Venezuelan team won it.
Just a little point of reference, George. I want people
to understand the point of reference they want it. In
two thousand, George, they qualified again for an opportunity to
compete with all the other teams and were denied entrance
in the United States. So, guys, I am in my lane. Hm,
(38:24):
I'm in my lane. I think our paimary no reason, George,
no reason. They're still asking no reason, no reason, researching.
I want people to go read research it. No reason
mm hmm. Little League World Series guys cannot come and participate.
(38:44):
They want it in two thousand. That's all I want
you all to know. They want it in two thousand.
We're just talking about Little leaguers trying to come over
and play in the Little League World Series. George, I mean, guys,
I'm just gonna be straight with you now. I'm gonna
(39:05):
be straight with you. We've had great, great athletes in
track and field, and we all know Jesse Lewens. We
all do, and we all know it transpired. We all
know what happened in Germany, and we all know that
they did not want them there, but they couldn't deny it. Guys,
(39:25):
we're in our wrong land. America is in the wrong
place on this one period, Donald Trump, Jade Vance, President Trump,
Vice President, You're the wrong place on this one period,
point blank. I know about all these deportations, and we're
talking about the Little League World Series. Guys, all the
teams when they qualified go to get their visas expedited.
(39:46):
You got me. They're in Bogota, Colombia, the same place
I was with the amazing race at the American Embassy.
I know exactly. We went to the American Embassy and Bogatah, Columbia.
Ninety of the people have never been there. I am
I mean boy. Sports television has been good to Jerry's,
but I have come on you all. Too much is
(40:07):
too much. There is no reason why we all know
that politics has gotten so bad and stupid now, so
I give everybody their opportunity. It's seven fifty six, George
tomorrow tomorrow. If anybody disagrees with Jerry's please call it
and you will be treated. But explain to me why
(40:29):
I'm wrong with this. This is my lane. President Trump
needs to get back in his lane. Jade Vance needs
to get back in his lane. They just want it
in two thousand. So if they can compete in two thousand,
why can't they compete now? Just tell me. I don't
get it. I just don't get it. I'm lost on
(40:50):
this one. I'm a lost for words. But I would
love for someone to explain it to me. I've got
no problem with that. To explain to me why thirteen
to sixteen year olders that want to play in the
Little League World Series can't come to the United States
of America to play. If we're not in the wrong place, guys,
and I don't know this place anymore. I just don't
(41:11):
e sports radio George. I love you, Anthony truly. If
I'm wrong, call me tomorrow. Put a smile on somebody's face.
I'm out, take care of George. Bye bye,
This is Eastports Radio. It is July the twenty eight,
twenty twenty five, Monday, beautiful day. Phone numbers five zero
two seventy nine hundred. That's five zero two, five seven
one seventy nine hundred. You can tell it's going to
be explosive because I was already somewhere else. I'm already
human about everything. Boy, it's emotional day for me today.
(00:23):
We've got two people. I'm not gonna say anything. Two
fine young men. Well that's a lie, ones older than
I am. One fine young man, one old man. I'm
not saying fine, but I'll bring on the young one first. Anthony,
Welcome to the show. How are you now?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I'm doing fantastic this morning.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
About yourself.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I'm ready to go. I've done my calisthenics and I'm
ready to go. I've done my stair pushups, I've done
my jumping jacks, I've done all my things and curls.
I'm ready. I am ready, So just everybody look out,
leave me alone. The rocky music is starting to hum
that come back, that's all Anty. Feeling great though, feeling great.
(01:04):
When the battle with the pillow, Anthony, the alarm went off.
I jumped right up. Didn't even have to fight with
the pillow. I was ready to go. So let's bring
on that other guy, Anthony. Other guy. Hey, hey, George Williams,
how you doing, mister Williams, how are you miss?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well, let me correct you, Jerry's because you really don't
know how to take it. All the goes in society.
When you're the senior member, you get recognized first. All
your juniors get recognized behind you, So you need to
learn that first of all. Okay, I should be the
first person introduced and not the second person, because I
am a senior to you young men, and you want
(01:42):
to get to where I want to get. So I
can explain some other things to you, but I won't
do that today, So let me start with that. Okay,
remember who your seniors are and respect them, my brother,
respect them. Len't be disrespect you've been talk about. I
know this.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I have to.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
It's mandatory. It's mandatory, even if the show show it's mandatory.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I have to, God.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Right right, I know I would bring into it. That's
why I thought i'd do that today. You know I
would like to hit you at one when you're not ready.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Frank, Frank upset with me. I have to I have
to agree with that. Hey, guys, I know we're gonna
let you have the national news, but Dang and Chanons
got this loaded and we want to play it. So everyone,
I want you to listen. This is the first part
of the show. And George, listen close.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Let it really The Kentucky Oaks will be run in
primetime between eight and nine o'clock. Right now, the race
runs just before six o'clock on the Friday before Derby.
Wk Why News chopper is giving us a beautiful view
of the track right now. So what does today's announcement
mean for the timing of the Oaks Race? W k
wis Madison. Elliott is live outside of Churchill Downs for
(02:58):
us tonight. Madison.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
It means the race is being pushed back by nearly
two hours, and we spoke to officials here today who
say it will put the race on the national stage
it deserves. For the first time ever, Thoroughbred racing's best
three year old Phillies will take off in prime time
in twenty twenty six. And this change comes after the
(03:22):
twenty twenty five Kentucky Derby became the most watched on
TV since nineteen eighty nine with an average viewership of
nearly eighteen million.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
So what that really told us is there is an
appetite for this sport now.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
They want to use this momentum to further grow the
Kentucky Oaks and reach out to new audiences like on
the West coast.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
But what we.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Really think will find is that a bigger Kentucky Oaks
means a bigger Kentucky Derby, and everyone in Louisville benefits
from the growth of that.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
They anticipate in its first year.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
This change, Jennet, you can cut it, okay, Anthony. George, Well,
look I have always back Churchill Downs.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
You don't know that.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I had one person George in my football in my
basketball contest for the final four, said his nickname his
handle was Jerry Bend's the knee to Churchill Downs. Because
he's given me a hard time because I kind of
backed Churchill Downs. Okay, George, somebody hit me with this.
(04:28):
On Friday, I had the Friday Paper dead in front
of me, but the front page was talking about the profit,
the record profits Churchill Downs had made, so I hadn't
gotten to the back page, page three of Churchill Downs.
On Friday George, which said Kentucky o shifts to primetime
slot for twenty twenty six for the first time. Here,
(04:53):
let me say that to you again. It's been run
George right before six o'clock for one hundred and fifty
one years.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
George.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So now Churchill Downs, okay, which is done a fine
job of building its brand. I understand it. That's why everyone,
that's why you all hear me stand up for the athletes.
Every business chases profits, but when it comes to athletics,
(05:24):
college will have all kind of legislation. Got me, but
we'll never see legislation on this. But when it comes
to those college athletes, guys just giving it to you straight,
we're gonna I I have all kinds of legislation. So George,
it's on at page three when it should have been.
What started off the article is that Kentucky Oaks has
(05:45):
moved to eight pm to eight and nine on NBC
and Peacock. So here's the deal, so everyone will know
because they probably missed it. Also, Kentucky Oaks shifts to
primetime slot and six for the first time. Church of
Downs also announced Thursday that the Kentucky Oaks is moving
(06:06):
is making a move to prime time for the first
time in its history. Next year's running, the Kentucky Oots
one hundred and fifty second on May one, twenty twenty six,
will air at eight pm Eastern Standard, both on NBC
and p COCK. With the shift of prime time, the
race will be and after Anon Spectacular with the twilight Final.
(06:26):
Got me, George, So the Olds post time top typically
is between five fifty and six fifteen, with two races
scheduled after the Kentucky Oats crosses finish line. Okay, not anymore.
The Kentucky Oaks will be the last race of the day. Okay,
church Well, it's gonna be eleven o'clock, so it's gotta be.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
So this is one, guys minimum.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I'm not bending the knee for Churchill Downs. I love
Churchill Down. I want to do everything viable to keep
it growing the way it is. I love eighteen million
people watching the race. I do I know, George. We
know the people on the backside. I know them now.
I know a lot of them personally, George, But this
one here I came back. So my opinion is, boy,
(07:12):
they just cut the throat of a lot of restaurants, George,
which are some of my sponsors, because within eight to
nine o'clock start, George, what happens to the parties? The
Barn States, all the parties I'm going through. You remember
Junior Bridgmand, the Late Great Juniors parties. All the parties
now have to be backed up more, George. People are
gonna leave the track till they won't get to their
(07:33):
hotels till ten thirty. George getting out of that tra
and you know it. So what's happened George? Your opinion?
For I thought, Anthony, what has happened?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Well, same thing we talk about every time we talk
about the Jed Greed. You know what I'm saying. I mean,
this has been run like this, and now that they're
gonna get more money and the TV revenue is gonna
look good. You know, the ratings came up. So whatever
they can do to increase the ratings Jay and get
more commercial endorsement, that's what they're gonna do. They're not
worried about consumer they're not worried about what's gonna go
(08:02):
on in Louisville. They've worried about our profit Lane and
how much we can make off of this event. And
they're going to feature and that's all it's gonna be said.
You know, TV push it to a needle, jare okay
there and nothing to do with churchy downs anymore. And
then do it church you down.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
There, the track, you're right, the track, the figure, you're
right over all Fourth Street. I agree with you hundred
per Anthony is a young fellow. You weren't around like
George and I. We've been raised, We've gone. I have
gone to Kentucky Oates. Our whole family used to go
Anthony when I was a small kid. It was a
family event. We all went. It was great. So Andy,
(08:43):
what do you think now pushing it back from six
pm to eight pm? As a young person, what do
you think?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
We all know it's it's it's for a money aspect. Obviously,
the viewership has been growing all on the West Coast
too as well in California. So the same movie back
to eight o'clock gives people on the West Coast more
time to be able to watch the race and event
getting off work, even people that are here. And the
thing is most people, you know, they take off for
(09:12):
Derby weekend. When it comes to thrty Oaks and Derby
itself on Saturday. They kind of weekend alone of work
is usually slower at most places because of all these
events going on, but it gives people the opportunity that
I guess we're even working keeping go to the track
if they do Wish show. And obviously you know for
Viewship it's it's all money purpose because we've even talked
about it that Derby and Oaks now is more as
(09:34):
it's been a worldwide event for forever, and even the
ticket prices are going on there so much that is
hard the Louisville people in Kentucky to even at ten anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Okay, No, a great point, and great point throwing it
back to you, George before I throw interject on that price,
Anthony brought up a great point. The price point now, George,
is almost the price point for the tickets has almost
priced itself out of normal regular people that used to
like my family enjoyed the Kentucky Oaks. George, I grew
(10:07):
up in Newburgh. I want people to understand there were
seven of us and a one three bedroom, one bedroom house.
Thought I was rich. George drank water out of a
hose got me, but my dad could afford to take
us all Friday, we'd go out. We made a day
of it. Anthony's correct, he wouldn't go to work. We
had relatives in. We went out on Friday. We had
(10:28):
a ball. Now, George, I do want to throw in
that because of my grandmother. Yes, we had four seats
grandson seats two furlongs from the finish line. Yes we did.
They've been in the family since the fifties. Got me, George,
because my grandmother, my dad's mother. But we didn't sit
in them. That's where the people that came out of town.
Grandmother gave those days, the personal relatives. We set all
(10:51):
the way on the far side, George, right at the turn,
the last turn, and cheered for the horses and had
a ball. You got me. Those days are gone. What
do you think, Georgia Churchill Downs priced out local people.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Jerry, I don't think Churchill Downs in the last five
to ten years is worried about what the local people
think about the Derby. It's all been catered to the
out of town. Yes, Jerry, you know what I mean.
You think And to confirm what I'm saying is we
used to have what it called Thursday thirty for the
local people. It got so proper, it got so poffitable, Jerry,
(11:28):
and got so good. Now they don't move to local
people to what Tuesday, You know what I'm saying. So
it just lets you know that we're not worried about
the local dollar because the money then, the people that's
gonna make the money for Churchill Downs are coming from
out of town and never going to spend the most money.
And they don't matter what the price is because we
look at like how much it costs to get in
church of there, Well, they don't think about it because
they're only coming one time a year and it's all
(11:50):
right with them. So I don't think the local dollar
is what they're worried about no more, Jared. It's the
national dollar. And you see they don't moved it all
the ways back out one hundred and some years. Do
we really care? We're with to the bob, how much
you're going to pay us?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Well, George, Anthony, Anthony, great point. That is the bottom
line for everyone listening. Churchill downs is averaging out the money.
There was a day when the locals helped drive that
true economy. Now this is what someone said to me, George,
and I just want to speak to my Churchill Downs friends.
(12:26):
They said, you're correct the week of the derby, which
is where they make the majority of their money. George
web to stand. But there's still money made during those
spring and summer events that they have at Churchill Downs,
when it is driven by local gamblers, local people going out.
My brother got me, my dad went out. No, I
(12:48):
want you all to understand. My dad loved to bet
on horse racing. He did. That was one of his vices.
I had to say, was a vice that probably mom
wasn't happy if he go to church. He still went. Okay, George,
he did. The local people can touch you. Churchill Downs.
Don't get so big that you don't think local people
(13:10):
can affect bottom line, because they can, George. They can
because there's still quite a bit of racing goes on
after that. So this one here, I mean, golly Bill Karstagnan,
the CEO Churchill Downs. They did say in the article George,
(13:31):
that they would not they did not see the movie.
The start time of the Kentucky Derby back, but it's
on Saturday, so there's no reason to do it. It
is primetimes disappointing, is disappointing, it's disappointing George. Is disappointing George.
It's just godly George. Okay, here's the problem. Logistically, last
(13:55):
year we had a rain delay. If there's a rain
to lay bad weather, George, and it's an eight thirty start,
you have a hard time seeing the race. I don't
care what kind of cameras we have. I don't care
what kind of lightning system you are, George.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
So I know it, Jed. It made me. You made
me think about that, and you're so right. It will
be a nightmare. I would just thinking how I will
feel sitting on the sidelines. There been there all day
since about seven o'clock. It's eleven o'clock and I can't
see a faith I can't even tell who's coming around.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And then, yeah, why I go to the If you're
gonna have to watch it on television, yes, there are
a thousand televisions.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Well, I think that's what they care about you.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yes, people will be able to watch it on TV.
But if you go to Church of Downs, George, you
want to go to the rail. You don't want to
watch it on TV, and you want to watch the horses.
You want to see it in person. That's why you're
at the track but at an eight thirty start and
it's dark and it's inclement weather. Oh, Church or Downs,
you're cutting it mighty close. All I can say is
(14:53):
you're cutting it mighty close, George, to where people have
a hard time seeing the race. It would that be horrific,
would be in mine.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Ye, well that's what the uh well Church of Down
will still make their property to be on the TV
station and then that will make them consider. Then that
will make them consider why that they've been having it
like they've had it for so many years, Jared. So
you know it's gonna be something to see and you know,
like and one thing I always say, we always complain
about change and think how bad it's going to be,
(15:21):
and it may work out well, But I don't know, Jerry.
I'm with you here on this one because I've tried
them any years and the time I.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Thought that there, I I backed Church. Everyone knows that now.
But this one, and I mean I told them guys,
we have to go with it. We must make the
tax revenue.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I'm gone.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I know my speech you all I have not forgotten.
But this one, this one, George just doesn't sit properly
with what well, but we'll have to wait and see,
like you say, George, will have to wait and see.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
We hope one thing you got to understand, Jack, thing
I understand about I'll say ten years, maybe longer. That
the Derby used to be at five thirty. It moved
at the seventh. Yes, I mean so it's been moved.
So now if it works better for them, if this
works for the Oaks, Jair, I believe that the Derby
would be moved back to hour.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I still think prime. I think Primetime on Saturday is
pretty much where they got at George. It's four o'clock,
that's post time, you know, three thirty four, six thirties,
because they get the best of both worlds there on
a Saturday. I don't think. I hope you but wait
and see.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I just don't on the side I believe that. Ye
we all believe that we've been waiting for the move.
We wasn't expecting the Oaks, but we did expect the
Derby to move back.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Everyone knows im back Churchill, Downsman, this one, this was
the one that I'll have to wait and see. So George, Anthony,
Anthony want to let you go on this because you do,
you have gone to horse racing events, you know more
about the track actual the way during the betting last year,
wasn't it complete? The seats didn't sell until the last two.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Days, guys.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
I just want you all to know that. But we
had the largest rating ever, Anthony eighteen million. Television just
taking over everything, George, Anthony, is is it taking over everything?
It's all about TV ratings, TV money and Anthony, is
that what is truly driving the athletic business in the
United States?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Now it's a it's a higher percentage, but it's it's
just more affordable. And that's just kind of the market's
going to most people, you know, they like to be
at home, relax, they have friends and family, over watch games,
watch events. You have to worry about the houseboom and
bust and being hectic, parking, cost of food, snacks and
(17:44):
other things. So TV ratings are kind of taken over
in aspect, and we're kind of the same way. You know,
for the most part, big games are wrong, we're usually
just watching it that at home. It's just more if
it comes to.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Be You're right, it's more affordable, No, I no matter
what they charge you for cable anthonys hundredcent. Correct, George,
it's cheaper than going it's expensive to go to games, racetrack,
it's expensive. Got Sporting events are a lot of money
now period. There are a lot of well guys. I
posted the nineteen eighty NCAA Championship ticket was fifteen dollars, George,
(18:19):
fifteen dollars. That's what the cost was. Fifteen dollars. I
bought them last year to the final four. George. They're
three twenty five a ticket. Three hundred and twenty five
dollars a ticket, got me three and twenty five dollars
a ticket, George. So anyway, guys, let's get to break
seven twenty four. When we come back. We got a
bunch of news to touch and we will Eve Sports
(18:41):
Radio for numbers five zero two five seven one seventy
nine hundred. If you disagree about Churchill downs or agree,
let me know, give us a call five zero two
five seven one seventy nine hundred. We'll talk to you
all in a minute. Welcome back to EVE Sports Radio
in twenty eight George Anthony, I'm looking at today's paper
(19:05):
and there's a pretty good segment to this. When we
were talking about the Derby move and it's ask second
page of the career turn the third page, could we
see Kentucky Derby move to primetime in future?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
The one hundred and fift.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
So first was the best?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Was the best?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Now they said they weren't a movie though, let me
read it to you. Jet was the best NBC Sports,
which is the twenty fifth year of broadcasting. The race
average seventeen point seven million viewers and saw a peak
audience of twenty one point eight million from seven to
seven to fifteen. That was the largest run for the
Roses viewership since nineteen eighty nine and represented a six
percent increase in ratings in an eight percent and peak
(19:44):
audience from Derby one fifty. Okay, George is the first
Saturday in May going to primetime two? The young man said,
it's let me get to it, ur because it's a
long runcole it I would say it's very unlikely we
would toy with the formula. I think what we take
(20:05):
for granted here locally is exactly what Anthony said, is
that we treat oaks today like a holiday. She said,
excuse me when you think about this nationally. Most of
the race day is concluded while people, especially if you're
considered the West Coast at work and not able to
tune in. So no, George, they say, we don't have
the same motivation when it comes to Derby because we've
(20:27):
already captured that target audience successfully over the years. So George,
they're saying that they're not gonna move it. That's what
they said in today's paper. So we'll wait and see.
But Golly, Jerry's loves Church of Downs and I do
I talk about the economic intingpacked I do. I'm not
gonna say I'm not just jumping ship like everybody says.
(20:49):
I've changed my license plates. No, because there is economic
impacked with all those people coming in, all those Leri
jets at bowman Field and at the airport Muhammad Ali Internet, George,
all the money, all the hotels, all the restaurants. But
this move I'm just not sure on. So we'll have
to wait and see. We'll get I'll have a chance
(21:10):
to talk to Darren Rodgers, I'm sure, and Darren will
be able to explain to me better why they would
make this move. But right now, George, I'm standing on
the other side of the fence because I was one
of those little kids at seven years old. It was
a holiday in the sixties and we were going out
and joining the Kentucky Oats. That was our derby day.
(21:30):
And well, like you say, George's Tuesday, now.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Get over it. That's the truth.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
It is the truth. So Anthony, well you get moving.
Let's throw it to you. What happened in Major League Baseball?
I need a little national news major League Hall of Fame, Anthony,
what happened?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Well?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Actually I wanted to read a couple of other things
out before we did get into that.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
But what have you got time for? What? If you
have time for, you do your thing.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
No, of course we're gonna stay on task, because I
don't want to get sidetracked. Obviously, in Major League Baseball,
we are talking about e Ro Suzuki became the first
Japanese born player to be to be enshrined into the National.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Baseball Hall of Fame Sunday. He's one of five new
members of Baseball's hallowed institution, which is a great accomplishment.
I remember him playing when I was a kid. That's
a that's a crazy how long.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Ago it's been mm hmm. He was really good, but
he could hit anything. He could hit any pitch, George,
any pitch, George.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
They threw one.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
The ball bounced at the fact fact, George, the picture
threw it. The ball bounced before it got to home plate.
It bounced up. He hit it for a single. He
hit it for a single, George. Wow, that's the truth too,
that he hit it for a single. George, go ahead, hands.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
And then obviously we're getting into bubble Wallace did take
on the Brickyard. It was the first black winner and
an Indie series event.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
M congratulation. Yes, first ever, George. Yes, so Bubba I
was watching that. Great accomplishment, great accomplishment. Had his little
son out there with him, was a great accomplishment. So yes,
what else we have in But you ain't, Dan, don't
forget my boy Dave Parker though, George, Dave Parker was
(23:23):

Speaker 3 (23:24):

I mean, I just hate that he wasn't alive, George.
But what what a baseball player, What a baseball player.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
He said, Eve, I'm in London.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I can't help you this time. And you said, what
did that mean to you? You said, what that means
to me?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I said, come on anyway, I know God. This is
to our first caller. But we'll get to what we're
gonna get to with Little League Baseball after the break.
But let's go to our first caller. Johnny. Welcome to
the sports radio. Are you first caller of the week?
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Hey, wonderful, wonderful on yourself.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Good. Oh it's a great day, Johnny, great.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Day, Oh, yeah, yeah, well let the golf course working,
so hopefully you can hear me. Okay, uh yeah, yeah.
I called in a little earlier but didn't get in
through when you all were talking about the dir BE
and everything. But my background, I grew up in the
food service restaurant industry my whole life. Mom and dad
had a restaurant growing up. When I was a kid.
(25:10):
My dad ran the commissary at the Ireland Army Hospital
in Port Knox. But I grew up in my twenties,
thirties and forties in Louisville and I worked for the
Bristol barn Grill. I worked down downtown in the Kentucky
Arts Center when it was in the Kentucky Art Center
(25:30):
before it moved down on the other side of Main Street.
I worked at Barnstown Road. I worked out Athurstbourne Lane.
I worked for Doug Gossman, great guy. But you were
talking about the change in time, and I just tell
you when I worked there, it was you know, we
(25:51):
stayed up until last call was three thirty in the morning.
We showed food, full service food. You could come in
get anything off the menu till three o'clock in the
morning and as soon as the derby lay out. In
twenty minutes, the whole restaurant filled up, all the private
rooms upstairs, the whole patio filled up. So by six
point thirty until three point thirty in the morning, the
(26:15):
place was completely full. Didn't stop, and of course, you
know it was the busiest day of the year. And
the same thing.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
With the Oaks, with a little bit.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Less of attendance, but still the same.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Vibe. And you know, with the with the time.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Like you talked about, it affects everything that the businesses.
They'll just have to adapt and adjust. They'll have to
have events in house where they invite people to watch
the derby, things like that. You just have to be creative.
A lot of things have changed in the restaurant industry.
There's used to just be Barts down road and then
it turned into Branford Avenue started getting a lot of businesses.
(26:58):
Then they developed a new lou district. Then German Town
blew up and now like for instance, yep, yep, the
Bristol arm Barstown roads only open until ten o'clock during
the week at eleven o'clock on Fridays and Saturdays because.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Then they don't move this so technically, you don't believe
it affect us anyway. How do you think it'll be
bad business?
Speaker 6 (27:21):
You just like, like like Jay was said, it will,
We just have to wait and see. I think the
restaurants just have to be creative, uh, you know, inviting
guests and getting prepaid for things like that, where it's
an event somewhere to go other than the track. Because
the track hasn't lost its attendance. They're getting out of stake.
I mean they're getting record attendances, but you know they
(27:44):
want the TV revenue also, so the local people just
have to figure out a way to get around it.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So now you do not where do you live right now?
You do not live in the live You're in Florida, correct.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
I live in Daytona.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
I live in Daytona. Remember I was at all the
golf courses.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
And you do watch the Kentucky Oats on Friday? You
do try to watch the racenter.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
Oh yeah yeah, Like like I said, I've worked in
the restaurant business my whole life. I've been to the
track one hundred times, but I've never been on Derby
or Oaks because all he's working and yeah of course, yeah, yeah,
and even down here in Florida, everybody stops what they're
doing and watches the race. I've worked at golf courses
and they'll have parties and events. They'll fill the whole clubhouse.
(28:29):
Everybody will bet on the race, just like you're in
the Louisville so you know, on a lower scale, it's
a national event too. It's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
It's a big deal. Okay, well, excellent, but we appreciate it, Johnny,
thanks for your input.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Yeah, and one other time I'll call it back because
it takes a little while. Down at the Kentucky Arts Center,
you know, they moved to Main Street on the other side,
and when they built the Muhammad All East Center, and
I'll tell you a great story about Mohammad. I don't
know if we have time for it now. If not,
I'll call another time.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Hit me another time on that. Hit me another time
on that because I've got to get the break in. Yeah,
get the ess is. But we'll talk about that. Appreciate it, john.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Okay, later, thanks for your call. All right.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Bye, Well, guys, we have someone who thinks the restaurants
will have to adapt on Friday. It's mighty late, George.
I know people stay out all night, but it is
still mighty late. It's still mighty late. But I understand
good point. I never thought about that. They stay open later. Yes,
they do make a lot of money during that period. George,
we have to wait and see. I'm usually with Churchill
(29:34):
downs guys. This time, I'm just I'm not feeling it.
I don't like Johnny said. The ViBe's not good. So anyway, Anthey,
you got any other national news we have When we
get to our second break, it's already seven thirty eight,
we're sixty percent gone. What else do you have for men?
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
The last thing I had on there.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
I just wanted to know if you and George knew
about the guy by the name of Dwight Mahina KWin,
the Hall of Fame boxer.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I've heard of it, man, Yeah, I've seen it.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I haven't No, I haven't in for me.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, yeah, middle It was a Hall.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Of Fame fighter.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
He took up boxing in prison and became a two
times two weight world champion, but he did pass away.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yesterday at the age of seventy two. He said he
had been fighting dementia for the last five years.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
He was born in Baltimore, Maryland grew up in Camden,
but he put it out of a boxing program on
Rawley State Prison while everyone was serving a sentence for
armed robbery in Termed Professional Age twenty five soon after
release in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Well, great point, and I like that. Let's go to
break seven point thirty nine. This is the sports radio
when we come back, deserving news in my opinion, But
I may have opinions on this one, and I'll be
waiting to hear them on numbers five year old two,
five seventy nine hundred. This is the sports radio. We'll
talk to you in a second.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Yeah, yeah, Sports radio.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
Time at seven forty three am. I think my dad
might have dropped off the call. This what happens when
he's you.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Know, he lives down in the dungeon down there, You
lose service pretty easily. And I got his new WiFi,
so you know, he's got no excuses now when he's
stopping at his call. Sir Williams, I'm telling you, well.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
And you got you got to understand this that we
we needed him to go out because he's a little
upset this morning, even when he got his little workout in.
He's probably outside doing some calls stains right about now.
You know, he's he's ready for the show. He was
probably too pumped up and we couldn't hold him back.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Yeah, you know, tech technology I think is his arch
nemesis sometimes, but it's okay, you catch you atone very
intelligent man.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
But sometimes you know the technologies that throw the water
under the bridge. So hopefully he calls back in here.
But we can always get into some more information.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
Of course, let's go.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, of course things are the things want to get into,
some of the that I keep seeing on my TV. Obviously,
I think a lot of people see on their TV.
The last couple of days, his NFL training camp is
already here. NFL seasons around the corner, probably less than
a month, and the first game of college football kicks
off August twenty third. When I tell you, I couldn't
be more excited.
Speaker 8 (32:15):
It feels like college.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Football was so long ago, but at the same time,
it feels like it was just a few weeks. Sco
This is kind of how it goes for me. But
we got a lot of big matchups even coming into
the earlier weeks of football's here.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
And then George George why'd you cut me off? Why'd
you do that?
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Here we go?
Speaker 8 (32:35):
It was only intentional, you know what I mean? I
thought I don't. I thought you said too much already,
and I thought you had to be done.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
See you did it. Well, Look we got it intentionally.
We're gonna go to break. When we come back, we're
gonna take our next callar stuff in Mac. We're gonna
give him a few minutes and then I'm gonna make
some more controversy, says the Switts radio site for the confusion.
George Williams did it Anthony, not Jerry, not Shannon. George

Speaker 9 (33:56):
Well, I guess we started about coming up on five
years in November, and I just always had a goal
to own my own business. And me and my wife
talked about it and had retired and gotten out of
logistics and decided to.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Do some research.
Speaker 9 (34:14):
But we were going into COVID by that about that time,
so we did our research and we settled on State Farm.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
I'm glad you did. No question about it now, really quickly.
Everyone wants to know how they save money insurance. But
I'm going to have them throughout the weeks with you
because you're going to stay with the Esports Radio. I'm
going to give you time to work. You'll be able
to explain to people the difference of insurance is why
they need to know things that the pitfalls a lot
(34:43):
of these insurance companies do not tell them the truth
on their deductible. All the things we have you do,
but really quickly, what is the key for everybody is
saving money insurance? How did they do that? So how
do you go about doing that?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Well?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
The number one as an interview.
Speaker 9 (34:57):
Make sure well as an ind of it, the number
one key is and I run across this a lot
to be it's almost surprising, but it's to bundle all
of your products together. That's how you save the most money.
There are other uh, you know, raising deductibles, changing coverages
(35:20):
and things like that, but for the most part, overall,
I would encourage everyone that meet with your insurance agent
and make sure you're bundling all of the all of
the products that they offer.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Because they come with the discounts. That's where the discounts
fall in.
Speaker 9 (35:37):
Sure you get like multi line discounts, you get multi
card discounts. You know, if you have certain other products
like life insurance, all of that, all of that plays
into savings. Overall savings that you can get from the carriers.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Well, what would do We'll get you by go on, Steve,
we're gonna talk more about this. I appreciate what you've
done for Jerry's of course, I will tell people save
me a ton of money with better coverage. With better coverage,
I'm not gonna throw the other insurance companies under the bus.
Are gonna do that, but we will definitely get you
back on steping and let you explain to people some
of there's a lot of issues with insurance that people
(36:19):
don't understand that I'm going to give you a chance
to speak about. So thanks for being a part of
Esports Radio.
Speaker 9 (36:24):
All right, well, thank you so much, Jarry. I appreciate
you having us on.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Thank you, no question.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Talk to you in a little bit. All right, guys, Look,
here's the deal, George. Honestly, EVE Sports Radio stays out
of politics. E Sports Radio tells everybody to vote. E
Sports Radio tells everybody that both parties tries to separate us.
I've always said that. I've always said that EVE Sports
(36:49):
Radio has told people to educate themselves. I've always said that.
But this one again, I'm not going into politics, guys,
not but when the United States denies Venezuela Little League
baseball team from participating in the Little League World Series,
that's sports. So don't say, stay in your lane. I
(37:09):
am in malane. I think our politicians need to get
back in their lane, period, point blank. Guys, if they
will not issue visus to the Venezuela thirteen to sixteen
year old little League baseball team that qualified to play,
Guys again, I'm in malane. Sports, George Williams used to
(37:37):
be the place to where it brought down barriers. It
brought them down and I built them up. When we're
denying little League baseball players thirteen to sixteen, these aren't
the ten to twelve. These are the thirteen to sixteen
year old that want to come and participate in the
Little League World Series. Just to give you a little
(37:59):
point of reference. And two thousand the Venezuelan team won it.
Just a little point of reference, George. I want people
to understand the point of reference they want it. In
two thousand, George, they qualified again for an opportunity to
compete with all the other teams and were denied entrance
in the United States. So, guys, I am in my lane. Hm,
(38:24):
I'm in my lane. I think our paimary no reason, George,
no reason. They're still asking no reason, no reason, researching.
I want people to go read research it. No reason
mm hmm. Little League World Series guys cannot come and participate.
(38:44):
They want it in two thousand. That's all I want
you all to know. They want it in two thousand.
We're just talking about Little leaguers trying to come over
and play in the Little League World Series. George, I mean, guys,
I'm just gonna be straight with you now. I'm gonna
(39:05):
be straight with you. We've had great, great athletes in
track and field, and we all know Jesse Lewens. We
all do, and we all know it transpired. We all
know what happened in Germany, and we all know that
they did not want them there, but they couldn't deny it. Guys,
(39:25):
we're in our wrong land. America is in the wrong
place on this one period, Donald Trump, Jade Vance, President Trump,
Vice President, You're the wrong place on this one period,
point blank. I know about all these deportations, and we're
talking about the Little League World Series. Guys, all the
teams when they qualified go to get their visas expedited.
(39:46):
You got me. They're in Bogota, Colombia, the same place
I was with the amazing race at the American Embassy.
I know exactly. We went to the American Embassy and Bogatah, Columbia.
Ninety of the people have never been there. I am
I mean boy. Sports television has been good to Jerry's,
but I have come on you all. Too much is
(40:07):
too much. There is no reason why we all know
that politics has gotten so bad and stupid now, so
I give everybody their opportunity. It's seven fifty six, George
tomorrow tomorrow. If anybody disagrees with Jerry's please call it
and you will be treated. But explain to me why
(40:29):
I'm wrong with this. This is my lane. President Trump
needs to get back in his lane. Jade Vance needs
to get back in his lane. They just want it
in two thousand. So if they can compete in two thousand,
why can't they compete now? Just tell me. I don't
get it. I just don't get it. I'm lost on
(40:50):
this one. I'm a lost for words. But I would
love for someone to explain it to me. I've got
no problem with that. To explain to me why thirteen
to sixteen year olders that want to play in the
Little League World Series can't come to the United States
of America to play. If we're not in the wrong place, guys,
and I don't know this place anymore. I just don't
(41:11):
e sports radio George. I love you, Anthony truly. If
I'm wrong, call me tomorrow. Put a smile on somebody's face.
I'm out, take care of George. Bye bye,
