Speaker 1 (00:00):
I can smell barbecue ribs from here. Wherever you are,
I'm happy for you. It's Memorial Day weekend. We can't
lose focus on the real issue and surrounding Memorial Days
to honor our lost soldiers, Memorial Day of those who
gave all in various conflicts on behalf of America. That's
(00:20):
what Memorial Day is about. Veterans days for all veterans.
Memorial Day is for those who lost we lost over
over the couple hundred years of the United States of America. Okay, Oh,
I'm hearing something bleed out of here. Oh, it must
be over here. Excuse me about that. Oh, there's Paul Miles, Ladies,
(00:41):
gentlemen in the studio with us this afternoon. We have
Gus Allen working with us today. Gentlemen, ladies, happy hell
oh he said, lady. Oh, that's because Amy's with us today.
Hello Amy, Hello, Amy's one of our employees here. There
aren't that many people in our building, Amy, Are we
all alone in the rest of.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
The building, Yes, we are.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
There's not that many people in the office today.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Well, they cut them loose typically on Friday afternoons of
holiday weekends.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
It's called an early dismissal day.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Why did you miss the boat on the early dismissal
Nobody tapped you on the shoulder and said you're allowed
to leave early. Nope, it's because you're a new employee.
Is that what it is?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Probably?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Yeah, she's essential like us.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
That's right. That's what we call ourselves, the essential people. Amy,
you let them know. I'm essential around here. The rest
of you clowns can all leave because you're none essential employees.
It is Memorial Day weekend. There are lots of cookouts,
there's lots of travel. Anybody have travel plans? Anybody doing anything?
I'm not going anywhere with me?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
No, nope. It's kind of sticking around.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Kind of chili to run to the lake anyway, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yeah? Yeah, I think the whole pool thing is not
gonna happen. When it might, it's a little chili.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
My pool usually opens this weekend. They said they're not
gonna at last check, they're not gonna try hands.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
But this weekend I'm going to a gender reveals.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Well that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Exciting.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Yeah, I've never been to one.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
If you're no, I haven't either. I'm Catholic and everybody's
pregnant all the time, no surprises. Oh look, I got
four nieces that are pregnant right now. So okay, gender reveal.
That's funny.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
What do you do.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
You have to take a present to that kind of
a thing too.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I'm getting her a president for now for the gender reveal,
but I'm going to get her another present for the
baby shower. I'm getting her bubble bath, and I'm getting
her baby wipes for this one.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Well that's nice, that's right. Bubble bath and baby wipes work.
No matter what the gender reveal turns out.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
It's pretty gender neutral, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Not a football helmet, not a gender reveal. I think
that's the first time anyone's even actually said that on
my show before over all these years. Maybe we've had
other people that like recorded make that reference. You're the
first person to do that. Live in here, Amy, very nice. Anyway,
(03:05):
people will be cooking up. I guess Jay Cardosi'll be
doing his incredible rib concours. He loves smoking the ribs.
I'm too impatient for that kind of work.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
But some people start that twelve hours before. Isn't that
the rule or something?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
The old barbecue man, Vince Stayton said, never trust a
man who won't sleep with his meat. And he says,
that means you got to sleep on a lawn chair
next to the smoker.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
All night long.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Serious, scope, you think you have to have a shotgun
across your lapp in case somebody cots to try to
steal the ribs in the middle of the night.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Somebody or a raccoon or somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You gotta sleep with your meat to stay out there.
Hear noise pop up out of your dead sleep. Who
goes there? Get back up from my rams. That's it anyway. Yeah,
I'll be having some food that's bad for me. I
assure you that's how that goes, all right, mister Miles,
that was quite a story you had in the news
(04:05):
cast here about somebody about having down I sixty four today.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah, that's not cool, not at all. Somebody was sixty
four eastbound at Hurstborn Parkway. Driver calls police, says, somebody
shot into my car.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Now this is some hothead who got mad because you
cut them off or you wouldn't let him. We don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Police say they don't know a motive or they're not
telling us what the motive is. But they did make
an arrest shortly afterwards. So it was so the guy
saw his license plate or something apparently, Yeah, we think so.
The guy they arrested is a convicted felon.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Oh how about that, it's still my heart.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
And he's got a gun. Possession of a gun by
a convicted felon.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Twenty three year old Ali Abdul Malik, and he's already
a felon. Oh my goodness. Possession of a gun by
a convicted felon. Well, that seems to be an oversight, no,
doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I thought I've told you, mister, a convicted fellow, you
can't have your hands on any more weapons.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
But that's I mean, it is kind of scary if
you think about it. Oh my god, that's why. That's
why we no longer you know, flip people off. That's
that's not a good thing to do.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Anything. You don't want to look at anybody on the road. Oh,
here's too many maniacs. Think of the guy over there
was by London, Kentucky last year. Oh yeah, shooting at
cars on the highway and then they ultimately found him
dead back in the woods.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, from the overpass, wasn't he? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:34):
That was that long man hunt took him forever to
find that guy.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Well, I mean, if you look at an aerial like
go to Google Earth and look at that that whole area,
it's mind boggling how big that is. That's Daniel Boone
National Forest. I mean, somebody could go in there for
years and never be seen. Yeah, but those remember those
bounty hunters found him that they.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Were videotaping or going Facebook line for something.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, they had a drone or something like that, and
they were able to fly around and then the woman says, hey, fuck,
I found him dead.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Throw they smelled something, they saw the actually they saw
the crows flying around the area. I said, uh, oh,
something's there.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
That was so many weeks later. Anyway, this very unsettling.
Somebody shooting at somebody else on the interest state. It's like,
for the love of God, life is hard enough.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
For all of us.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
You know, contain your rage, you know, go get a
punching bag or something. Anyway, it's probably a little too
late for Ali abdul Malek, who, by the way, allegedly
shot at the car.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
We have to say that in there at least once, right,
at least once?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Is there something in my eye? Why am I winking allegedly?
I'm not winking. I'm okay. Anyway, we'll update you on
that particular story as the day progresses if there are
any changes to that or we hear any more about that. Okay,
to another thing, mister Miles, one of our lawmakers then
(07:06):
outed JCPS ahead of how now when a pope is announced,
the whole world has to wait for the white smoke
to come on the chimney, right, honey, you saw that,
didn't you. Of course, the white smoke comes out and
everybody's like, who's the new pope?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
So what happened? The Board of Education met last night
and they decided who they want, but they came out
of executive session did not name that person, only said
we authorized the chair to go into contract negotiations with
this unknown person. So they were not going to announce
any name until a contract was finalized with one of
(07:44):
these two guys. We didn't know who it was until
Jason Nemus got on Facebook this morning and said congrats
to Brian Yearwood, who is one of the finalists.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
He was the superintendent of Columbia, Missouri Public Schools.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yes, so anyways, he's taken a little bit of heat
for that. He says it was accidental. He thought it
was already out.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
All of us in this business, we get emailed now
and again and they say embargoed until Monday at ten am.
What that means you're not allowed to disseminate the information
until the time they say so. I guess did'nmas not
know any better?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
I don't know where he got the end. I don't
know where he got that information from to begin with.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
What I was going to ask, somebody got an somebody
on the inside.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
And what do we know about mister Yearwood. He was
at Columbia Public Schools and up.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Until late last year. Then he there was a separation
along with a separation agreement.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
So we don't know how it ended over.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
There was some sort of non disclosure.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Oh well, I'd say we need to find out what's
in the non disclosure agreement just because you're doing due
diligence on such a critically important job. The same way
with the former chief of police, Jacqueline Gwynn, Yes, we
all loved her. She was great, Amy she said, right
in the seat where you were, and we all talked
(09:05):
to her, had interview the former police chief. But in Atlanta.
They could have told us right away, well slow your
role there in Louisville, because she had gotten into a
detective's desk down there, pulled the file that had something
to do with somebody related to her, was asked about it,
said no, I didn't do that, and they said, well,
here's the video that's showing you doing that. We're like,
(09:28):
whah whah, it's like, you know, that's why you do
due diligence.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Well, we got like a stack at these non disclosure
agreements that are are piling up the U of L.
The former UFL president. We still don't know why she left.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Into a documentary on that.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Couldn't we But it seems like if you're getting a
new job, then they should be able to access the NDA.
What do they say in court in camera or something
like the use some term like that that means only
the principles can look at something privately and no one
else can see it. So shouldn't the people in charge
(10:03):
of this hire be allowed to see this NDA in private,
be aware of its merits and its agreements before they
say yay, yeay or nay on the higher.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
And if you can't see the NDA, isn't that grounds
for Well, then maybe we'll look somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah, shouldn't I raise a red flag? I would think
that's why we're talking about it now. Red flag being
being being shooting on flares. So you know, I don't
know mister Herewood at all, but I mean I want
what's best for our community in terms of the higher
So if that's an issue, then we actually absolutely need
(10:43):
to have a look at that. We'll see where that goes,
all right, So Paul, when do we know that there
is there an announcement coming?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
We don't know when. Yeah, it's as soon as they
finalize a contract. I'm assuming it's going to be within
the next day or two. I hope.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
All right, Well, we'll find out soon enough. And then
I saw a little while ago guys on Business First
website they said, breaking news. Let me read this for it.
I am a subscriber. I'm allowed to do that. I
pay them for this information. Three months after KFC announced
plans to move to Texas, its Louisville based parent company
(11:24):
could be on the move inside the city. Young Brands
is considering leaving its headquarters at fourteen forty one Gardener
Lane and is actively searching for new office space downtown
and in the East End. Several sources with knowledge of
the move told Louisville Business First, later than confirmed by
Young Brands. So, you know, we have a bunch of
(11:47):
buildings downtown that are empty. They have five hundred employees.
They're looking for Class A office space. One of the
suggestions is the LG and E Tower, you know where
that's situated on Main Street. They're looking at the kfcums.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It's it's like the Chicken block, right, could put a
bucket on that thing.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
That's what we need to do. Put a bucket on
the top of it, a turning bucket, even though it's
in a flight path of the incoming traffic at Muhammad
Ali Intergalactic Airport.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You know, it's got to be the turning bucket. We
don't want the bucket.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
They used to have one of those on Preston, Yes,
at the Porky Pig House, right, wasn't that what that
was called the Porky Pig the Colonel Sanders Place.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Really I never heard of this.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I think it was called Porky Pig House. Some of
you Germantown people need to come through for me and
tell me that this is correct Porky Pig House. It
was the the like the additional name of that Kentucky
Fried Chicken outlet, because I know a great story about that.
When my buddy Henry Sadlow's dad was in the hospital,
he was having a rough time. Years ago, he was
(12:51):
good friends with Muhammad Ali. Frank Sadlow went to Muhammad's
house and said, my dad, and he just said in
the book that was written a few years ago, said
that Ali saw Frank sadloath the door and immediately said
let's go. He knew something was up. And then Muhammad
pushed up from the table and got up and went
with Frank and then Henry Sadloa to go visit the
(13:12):
elder mister Sadlow in the hospital to cheer him up.
This is all in a book, a huge biography of
Muhammad Ali. This part is not in the book. I
love this. After they visited the hospital, the sad little
brother said, Mohammed, you want to go anywhere before we
take you back home? And he said, I want to
(13:32):
go KMFC. So they took him to the Porky Pig
House there on Preston Street and it's over near the fairgrounds.
He goes in. They go in there to buy and
he wanted, you know, some chicken, wanted potatoes, wanted stuff
to take home, and he said, I want one of
the Muhammad Ali says this to this kid working there.
(13:54):
I went the little peach cobber thing. And the kid
says to him, that doesn't go with that. You can't
have that because that's not part of that particular order.
The manager walks out, sees who's standing there, and goes
give him whatever he was, he's the greatest they gave.
They gave him a whole tray full of those pizzas
(14:17):
and took it, took him back to feed his family
in his outside. I thought that was hilarious. I don't
know why that didn't get in the book, but I
love that story. The teenager who's waiting on Maminaly has
no idea who it is.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
That's good. He was the most recognizable man in the
world besides the pope.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I can't confirm the Porky Pig House twenty seven to
seventeen Preston Highway, where John why Brown started his fried
chicken empire.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I'll be darn that's the first one that John Whyhead.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I guess so wow, yeah, because that's what we all
call it the neighborhood. I grew up several blocks from
the Porky Pig House, which is odd because that's a
Warner Brothers licensed name. Right. Isn't it a Warner Brother's
cartoon Porky Pig?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Or is that Disney?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
No, it's it's Warner Brothers, Warner Brook.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
I guess it is.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, that's part of the whole Warner Brothers, Daffy Duck
and all those characters.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
But pork and Chicken are to I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I never did understand that.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Apparently.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I found an article. There was a fire there in
nineteen seventy two, and the article says that in sixty
three Brown started the restaurant business with the Barbatos' barb
a t I yes, they wound it. I don't know
the idea of starting a barbecue franchise with Colonel Harland Sounders.
He was going to pay royalties to Sanders. It was
going to be and Brown said he soon realized he
(15:37):
was quote in the wrong end of the right business
when he saw Colonel Sanders's chicken out selling the barbecue
four to what.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
So he got out of the barbecue business.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
That makes sense, John, and I also tried lums. You
remember that that was hot dog steamed in beer. And
there were a few of those restaurants.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Around Ollie's Trolley Kenny's Roasters.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Correct, they made fun of that on Seinfeld. That was
such a great gift to Kenny's Kenny Rogers Fried Chicken.
That's where Kramer and the Red and Newman get hooked.
Like it's crack, Jerry Seinfeld. They switch apartments in there
and then and then Kramer's got it bad, He's got
the shakes until Newman shows up with the Kenny Rogers Chicken.
(16:19):
And then Seinfeld says, we're just gonna switch back the apartments,
are gonna do this, and then Kramer runs over, gets
on those knees. He goes, I got a problem, Kenny.
Don't hurt Kenny. Kenny didn't do anything. Oh God, what
a great business. John my understood all that stuff. And
they grew it out of the Porky Pig House on
(16:40):
Preston Street, which does have a famous Muhammad Ali story.
I guess it's still KFC. I don't know, must be
still there. Anyway, back to point one, we'll see what
happens if j CPS is in fact going to move
out of the big KFC headquarters, it's near our old
radio station, come downtown and they say that there are
(17:01):
apparently some private talks going on with JCPS.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Which has the Van Who's Education Center, which is the
next street off the street.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, so I guess they would take over that building.
But I thought JCPS was talking about coming downtown. That's
what we heard, so it goes so that could be
a swing and a miss for downtown with if JCPS
just moves into the KFC building and doesn't come downtown.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
But I don't think that KFC buildings any bigger than
the van Who's is it.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
It's probably just an additional building.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Well, in the back of it, I think it might be.
I think there's some excellent face there. It's pretty big
in the back when you get around to it.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, but yeah, we still if if KFC or if
YUM goes into the building, the old LG and E
building across from the Yum Center, we got to have
that spinning bucket on the top. We just have to.
We need this one more thing for touristy oh by
Petrel made there you have a big baseball bat down
the street, or then put the spinning bucket down on
street level and just have a turn and people all
(18:02):
pose for photos there.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You need a little Colonel Harland Sanders there in his
white suit.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
They have one out there at that headquarters that they're selling.
They haven't down here, life size Colonel Sanders who talks
to you and walking.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Oh oh, Terry, I'm the colonel.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
How do you know my name? It's so weird? All right,
appreciate you guys being here for the holiday weekend. Thank

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Somebody or a raccoon or somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You gotta sleep with your meat to stay out there.
Hear noise pop up out of your dead sleep. Who
goes there? Get back up from my rams. That's it anyway. Yeah,
I'll be having some food that's bad for me. I
assure you that's how that goes, all right, mister Miles,
that was quite a story you had in the news
(04:05):
cast here about somebody about having down I sixty four today.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah, that's not cool, not at all. Somebody was sixty
four eastbound at Hurstborn Parkway. Driver calls police, says, somebody
shot into my car.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Now this is some hothead who got mad because you
cut them off or you wouldn't let him. We don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Police say they don't know a motive or they're not
telling us what the motive is. But they did make
an arrest shortly afterwards. So it was so the guy
saw his license plate or something apparently, Yeah, we think so.
The guy they arrested is a convicted felon.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Oh how about that, it's still my heart.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
And he's got a gun. Possession of a gun by
a convicted felon.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Twenty three year old Ali Abdul Malik, and he's already
a felon. Oh my goodness. Possession of a gun by
a convicted felon. Well, that seems to be an oversight, no,
doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I thought I've told you, mister, a convicted fellow, you
can't have your hands on any more weapons.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
But that's I mean, it is kind of scary if
you think about it. Oh my god, that's why. That's
why we no longer you know, flip people off. That's
that's not a good thing to do.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Anything. You don't want to look at anybody on the road. Oh,
here's too many maniacs. Think of the guy over there
was by London, Kentucky last year. Oh yeah, shooting at
cars on the highway and then they ultimately found him
dead back in the woods.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, from the overpass, wasn't he? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:34):
That was that long man hunt took him forever to
find that guy.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Well, I mean, if you look at an aerial like
go to Google Earth and look at that that whole area,
it's mind boggling how big that is. That's Daniel Boone
National Forest. I mean, somebody could go in there for
years and never be seen. Yeah, but those remember those
bounty hunters found him that they.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Were videotaping or going Facebook line for something.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, they had a drone or something like that, and
they were able to fly around and then the woman says, hey, fuck,
I found him dead.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Throw they smelled something, they saw the actually they saw
the crows flying around the area. I said, uh, oh,
something's there.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
That was so many weeks later. Anyway, this very unsettling.
Somebody shooting at somebody else on the interest state. It's like,
for the love of God, life is hard enough.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
For all of us.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
You know, contain your rage, you know, go get a
punching bag or something. Anyway, it's probably a little too
late for Ali abdul Malek, who, by the way, allegedly
shot at the car.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
We have to say that in there at least once, right,
at least once?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Is there something in my eye? Why am I winking allegedly?
I'm not winking. I'm okay. Anyway, we'll update you on
that particular story as the day progresses if there are
any changes to that or we hear any more about that. Okay,
to another thing, mister Miles, one of our lawmakers then
(07:06):
outed JCPS ahead of how now when a pope is announced,
the whole world has to wait for the white smoke
to come on the chimney, right, honey, you saw that,
didn't you. Of course, the white smoke comes out and
everybody's like, who's the new pope?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
So what happened? The Board of Education met last night
and they decided who they want, but they came out
of executive session did not name that person, only said
we authorized the chair to go into contract negotiations with
this unknown person. So they were not going to announce
any name until a contract was finalized with one of
(07:44):
these two guys. We didn't know who it was until
Jason Nemus got on Facebook this morning and said congrats
to Brian Yearwood, who is one of the finalists.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
He was the superintendent of Columbia, Missouri Public Schools.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yes, so anyways, he's taken a little bit of heat
for that. He says it was accidental. He thought it
was already out.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
All of us in this business, we get emailed now
and again and they say embargoed until Monday at ten am.
What that means you're not allowed to disseminate the information
until the time they say so. I guess did'nmas not
know any better?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
I don't know where he got the end. I don't
know where he got that information from to begin with.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
What I was going to ask, somebody got an somebody
on the inside.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
And what do we know about mister Yearwood. He was
at Columbia Public Schools and up.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Until late last year. Then he there was a separation
along with a separation agreement.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
So we don't know how it ended over.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
There was some sort of non disclosure.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Oh well, I'd say we need to find out what's
in the non disclosure agreement just because you're doing due
diligence on such a critically important job. The same way
with the former chief of police, Jacqueline Gwynn, Yes, we
all loved her. She was great, Amy she said, right
in the seat where you were, and we all talked
(09:05):
to her, had interview the former police chief. But in Atlanta.
They could have told us right away, well slow your
role there in Louisville, because she had gotten into a
detective's desk down there, pulled the file that had something
to do with somebody related to her, was asked about it,
said no, I didn't do that, and they said, well,
here's the video that's showing you doing that. We're like,
(09:28):
whah whah, it's like, you know, that's why you do
due diligence.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Well, we got like a stack at these non disclosure
agreements that are are piling up the U of L.
The former UFL president. We still don't know why she left.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Into a documentary on that.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Couldn't we But it seems like if you're getting a
new job, then they should be able to access the NDA.
What do they say in court in camera or something
like the use some term like that that means only
the principles can look at something privately and no one
else can see it. So shouldn't the people in charge
(10:03):
of this hire be allowed to see this NDA in private,
be aware of its merits and its agreements before they
say yay, yeay or nay on the higher.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
And if you can't see the NDA, isn't that grounds
for Well, then maybe we'll look somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah, shouldn't I raise a red flag? I would think
that's why we're talking about it now. Red flag being
being being shooting on flares. So you know, I don't
know mister Herewood at all, but I mean I want
what's best for our community in terms of the higher
So if that's an issue, then we actually absolutely need
(10:43):
to have a look at that. We'll see where that goes,
all right, So Paul, when do we know that there
is there an announcement coming?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
We don't know when. Yeah, it's as soon as they
finalize a contract. I'm assuming it's going to be within
the next day or two. I hope.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
All right, Well, we'll find out soon enough. And then
I saw a little while ago guys on Business First
website they said, breaking news. Let me read this for it.
I am a subscriber. I'm allowed to do that. I
pay them for this information. Three months after KFC announced
plans to move to Texas, its Louisville based parent company
(11:24):
could be on the move inside the city. Young Brands
is considering leaving its headquarters at fourteen forty one Gardener
Lane and is actively searching for new office space downtown
and in the East End. Several sources with knowledge of
the move told Louisville Business First, later than confirmed by
Young Brands. So, you know, we have a bunch of
(11:47):
buildings downtown that are empty. They have five hundred employees.
They're looking for Class A office space. One of the
suggestions is the LG and E Tower, you know where
that's situated on Main Street. They're looking at the kfcums.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It's it's like the Chicken block, right, could put a
bucket on that thing.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
That's what we need to do. Put a bucket on
the top of it, a turning bucket, even though it's
in a flight path of the incoming traffic at Muhammad
Ali Intergalactic Airport.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You know, it's got to be the turning bucket. We
don't want the bucket.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
They used to have one of those on Preston, Yes,
at the Porky Pig House, right, wasn't that what that
was called the Porky Pig the Colonel Sanders Place.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Really I never heard of this.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I think it was called Porky Pig House. Some of
you Germantown people need to come through for me and
tell me that this is correct Porky Pig House. It
was the the like the additional name of that Kentucky
Fried Chicken outlet, because I know a great story about that.
When my buddy Henry Sadlow's dad was in the hospital,
he was having a rough time. Years ago, he was
(12:51):
good friends with Muhammad Ali. Frank Sadlow went to Muhammad's
house and said, my dad, and he just said in
the book that was written a few years ago, said
that Ali saw Frank sadloath the door and immediately said
let's go. He knew something was up. And then Muhammad
pushed up from the table and got up and went
with Frank and then Henry Sadloa to go visit the
(13:12):
elder mister Sadlow in the hospital to cheer him up.
This is all in a book, a huge biography of
Muhammad Ali. This part is not in the book. I
love this. After they visited the hospital, the sad little
brother said, Mohammed, you want to go anywhere before we
take you back home? And he said, I want to
(13:32):
go KMFC. So they took him to the Porky Pig
House there on Preston Street and it's over near the fairgrounds.
He goes in. They go in there to buy and
he wanted, you know, some chicken, wanted potatoes, wanted stuff
to take home, and he said, I want one of
the Muhammad Ali says this to this kid working there.
(13:54):
I went the little peach cobber thing. And the kid
says to him, that doesn't go with that. You can't
have that because that's not part of that particular order.
The manager walks out, sees who's standing there, and goes
give him whatever he was, he's the greatest they gave.
They gave him a whole tray full of those pizzas
(14:17):
and took it, took him back to feed his family
in his outside. I thought that was hilarious. I don't
know why that didn't get in the book, but I
love that story. The teenager who's waiting on Maminaly has
no idea who it is.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
That's good. He was the most recognizable man in the
world besides the pope.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I can't confirm the Porky Pig House twenty seven to
seventeen Preston Highway, where John why Brown started his fried
chicken empire.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I'll be darn that's the first one that John Whyhead.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I guess so wow, yeah, because that's what we all
call it the neighborhood. I grew up several blocks from
the Porky Pig House, which is odd because that's a
Warner Brothers licensed name. Right. Isn't it a Warner Brother's
cartoon Porky Pig?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Or is that Disney?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
No, it's it's Warner Brothers, Warner Brook.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
I guess it is.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, that's part of the whole Warner Brothers, Daffy Duck
and all those characters.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
But pork and Chicken are to I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I never did understand that.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Apparently.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I found an article. There was a fire there in
nineteen seventy two, and the article says that in sixty
three Brown started the restaurant business with the Barbatos' barb
a t I yes, they wound it. I don't know
the idea of starting a barbecue franchise with Colonel Harland Sounders.
He was going to pay royalties to Sanders. It was
going to be and Brown said he soon realized he
(15:37):
was quote in the wrong end of the right business
when he saw Colonel Sanders's chicken out selling the barbecue
four to what.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
So he got out of the barbecue business.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
That makes sense, John, and I also tried lums. You
remember that that was hot dog steamed in beer. And
there were a few of those restaurants.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Around Ollie's Trolley Kenny's Roasters.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Correct, they made fun of that on Seinfeld. That was
such a great gift to Kenny's Kenny Rogers Fried Chicken.
That's where Kramer and the Red and Newman get hooked.
Like it's crack, Jerry Seinfeld. They switch apartments in there
and then and then Kramer's got it bad, He's got
the shakes until Newman shows up with the Kenny Rogers Chicken.
(16:19):
And then Seinfeld says, we're just gonna switch back the apartments,
are gonna do this, and then Kramer runs over, gets
on those knees. He goes, I got a problem, Kenny.
Don't hurt Kenny. Kenny didn't do anything. Oh God, what
a great business. John my understood all that stuff. And
they grew it out of the Porky Pig House on
(16:40):
Preston Street, which does have a famous Muhammad Ali story.
I guess it's still KFC. I don't know, must be
still there. Anyway, back to point one, we'll see what
happens if j CPS is in fact going to move
out of the big KFC headquarters, it's near our old
radio station, come downtown and they say that there are
(17:01):
apparently some private talks going on with JCPS.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Which has the Van Who's Education Center, which is the
next street off the street.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, so I guess they would take over that building.
But I thought JCPS was talking about coming downtown. That's
what we heard, so it goes so that could be
a swing and a miss for downtown with if JCPS
just moves into the KFC building and doesn't come downtown.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
But I don't think that KFC buildings any bigger than
the van Who's is it.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
It's probably just an additional building.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Well, in the back of it, I think it might be.
I think there's some excellent face there. It's pretty big
in the back when you get around to it.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, but yeah, we still if if KFC or if
YUM goes into the building, the old LG and E
building across from the Yum Center, we got to have
that spinning bucket on the top. We just have to.
We need this one more thing for touristy oh by
Petrel made there you have a big baseball bat down
the street, or then put the spinning bucket down on
street level and just have a turn and people all
(18:02):
pose for photos there.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You need a little Colonel Harland Sanders there in his
white suit.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
They have one out there at that headquarters that they're selling.
They haven't down here, life size Colonel Sanders who talks
to you and walking.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Oh oh, Terry, I'm the colonel.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
