Well, hello there, Oh gosh, i'd like to sound that
Queen Chris in presence and stuff. Yeah, you should wear
some sort of a crown. Oh that declares that. So
what is fet to Noel? Well, it is French for
festival of Christmas, and we wanted to say Christmas, but
we've got it. We're being sensitive, so we're like, let's
just say it in a different language.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Okay, beautiful.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
So and this is our seventh annual.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
So we went from you in twenty nineteen just having
an ice skating rink, moving some dirt around and kind
of establishing it and every year since then, we've added
something new and exciting to the festival that's great.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I do like the ice skating rink. I think it's cool.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
It's very cool.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's been really popular already and we're just really thankful
that the community loves it.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
And Eric was on a little while ago with the
forecast and said, we're going to go into a cold
staff the ice rank. People are going to love that.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
They do, I know, right skating.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Do you still have a train like we do?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
The Kroger Fresh Express runs. Absolutely, It's adorable and I
always remind people the best little pictures are those sweet
little faces peering out of those little train windows. It's like,
you know, get pictures of your kids doing that. We've
got Santa you know, We've got a really great Santa House.
Santa visits out there. The Brent Street Holiday Market twenty
different local shops are staged on Brent Street, so they're
(01:51):
open mostly on the weekend, but you know, you can
buy some really great things there, local stuff that's wonderful.
Woodford Reserve is out there, our bourbon sponsor. They're selling
bottles and doing personal engraving on them no charge. A
fabulous gifts so you can come out and get Woodford
or double ohk it.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Person. It really makes you feel important when they bring
you booze and has your name on.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
It, no kidding, right, especially when it's really good booze.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
All right, did I win an election and I was asleep?
What happened?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I know?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
But yeah, it's it's really a wonderful time. I think
they added another Breakfast with Santa this Saturday. The other
one last Saturday sold out right away, so we've got
all kinds of activities there. It's it's really wonderful. Honored
to say that we are now being referred to as
Louisville's holiday tradition.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
That's pretty awesome. The skillet curling Championship did you mention that.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, that happened last Monday, and it was epic. I
cannot tell you how really great it is. There's a
bunch of bartenders and service industry people that compete for
the coveted golden skillet.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
That is fantastic, raised a bunch of money for Apron.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
But you know, these folks don't have the opportunity to
really party together or celebrate the season with their colleagues.
So I think that will eventually be like the official
Christmas party for the service industry out there. So we
really love that. So we uf L Hockey was out
there last Saturday. They did like a little scrimmage meat greet.
We had Nutcracker on ice last week with yeah, well
(03:18):
I mean with the Louisville Skating Academy. We did do
our sixth annual drag Queens on ice last Sunday night.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
So what a show?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
What show?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Really fine, really fun. We have a great time out there.
It's you know, we love Louisville.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Also in a studio with us is Eloise Eiffel. Nice
to see you, my friend.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Nice to see you too.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Local legend. I actually saw you a few weeks ago
standing in a cold field where people were gathering around
a fire and there was an outstanding buffet and you
had a setup there that was fantastic. Please describe.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Yes, we always have a setup. We bring our brand
ambassadors are very friends. The sheep that represent Black Lion Vodka.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
They were so cute and I had a little chat
with one of them. I can't remember his name, it
was probably Frank, and he just looked at me like, dude,
can you just stay here with me. I mean, this
is so fun.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah, that seems about right with Frank.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, Frank, very pleasant. So are these this Black Lion vodka?
It says rare sheep's milk. Is that really an ingredient?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
It is?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
We use rare sheep's milk to make vodka from England.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
That's just such a cool idea it is. The bottle
is really expressive. I mean it's a beautiful portrait on
there or etching whatever that happens to be.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah. So it's a luxury vodka.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
So we really like to stand on luxury in our branding.
But we're also at fed today nowell this Christmas season
with the sheep, and actually we have a huge prie
coming this week. Oh we have a baby lamb that
is going through this.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I mean five pounds baby lamb.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It's just awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I mean, like you know, the children, you know, they love,
like the sheep in general, love for people to come
up and pet them.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
They do.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Frank I was like rubbing his like scratched his neck
and he was like thumping his foot like a dog.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Right the way he looks at you like he's so
enthralled with you as well.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yes, they're wonderful. But this little baby lamb.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Can you imagine the photo ops with that the entire
you know, every weekend they're out there, so you know
photos are being taken constantly.
Speaker 3 (05:37):

Speaker 5 (05:54):
Oh, it's awesome, it's so enchanting. We have a whole
setup with real Christmas trees. Why picket fence with all
the sheep in there, and not only do you get
to pet the sheep, but you also get a free
sample of the vodka.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Oh that's not a problem, it's.

Not People have been loving that.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, it's really good.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It's really designed to be a sipping vodka. Not that

It's made in the Costswolds, England. And kind of the
process behind that because a lot of people are like
sheep milk vodka, right, What we do is the sheep
make the milk, there's the curds in the way the
curds makes the cheese, the way we take the sugar
from and to still it with local spring water. So

percent sustainable products.

water here that makes our bourbons so delicious, and perhaps
you were spring water and the Costswalls is one of
the reasons that this vodka is so delicious too.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
You know what it's so interesting the sunlight that hits
the grass, the rain that they get, it all determines
on making this vodka. So it all determines on like
you know, like the spring water and things like that.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
