Speaker 2 (00:05):
What are young man? This is a great song.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Stopped the song. Hey, I got catch my breath. I
ran all the way from the break room. Listen. I
told you to play a nice song to get people
in the Christmas mood. We got the snow. Yeah, and
you play this crap. Man, this is a great Christmas song.
A breath.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I cannot believe.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
That's not what I wanted, man, I wanted something nice
and christmasy. You know nothing's gone right this morning. I'll
come in. I left the cord for Sputnick at my house.
Now I'm praying that he doesn't run out of a
juice and you pull this stuff. Man, he didn't take
your lions, mate, I can tell I didn't take my line.
It's a bad morning, man. All I wanted to do
(00:47):
was something for the listeners, put in a nice Christmas mood.
And you run the dude.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
No, no, I absolutely brought them in with the best
thing possible.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Nobody wants to hear about guys walking around in women's underwear. Man,
we I wanted something nice at Christmas, and I snowy
look at us like a Hallmark movie type thing. Man,
you play this.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Well, what do we do now?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Then?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
What do we do?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Frank? I don't know because my mom. As a matter
of fact, my mom listens to this show. And here's
what's worse. My mom was when I left this morning. Okay,
I rode down my window and I told my mom
as she was shoveling my driveway, I'm gonna play something
nice and pretty for you, mom. That's what I'm gonna
(01:29):
do for you, shoveling our driveway and walkway. So she
put her walk man on and I promise my mother
she'd have something. And then you pull this crap. Man.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I think that is very root of you to have
your own mother shovel your driveway when you have to
be the one to go to work this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I gotta work, Man, How am I gonna get out
of my driveway? My mother doesn't shovel my driveway? Get
away your stupid.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
You have to get up early like me and take
care of it yourself like an adult.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
She's retired. She gets up early. It gives her something
to do, It keeps her active, keep these retired.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
After today, you might be retired after today, not to mention.
You know you always say you don't want these meetings.
You're gonna be having a meeting after the show. I
can guarantee you.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Because of me. It is because you playing that crap man.
I could promise you the barbera lady from Prospect. You'll
probably already called complain by now three times.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You're probably right.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I don't even know if I want to do the
show man. Boy, you let me down. You look okay,
let's reset. Okay, and I'm sorry of taking out on
this on you, but that was stupid for you to
start to show off.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
This is what happens when Tony Venetti isn't here. He
has to be. He's the buffer between this nonsense.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I gotta calm down. Play one commercial, okay, here's what
I want to do at this point. Here's what I
want to do. And I don't want to go on
the weekend mad at you for doing something stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I don't want to be mad at you either, for
not being in your seat on time.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I would have been on. That's why I said, play
a nice snowy Christmas song. I need coffee and then
I'm back there getting my coffee. I didn't even I
ran from the break room to get here because you're
playing stupid stuff like that guys walking around in women's underwear. Man,
you think that's what the listeners want to hear. Nice
of Christmas, that Christmas. But you know what, play one
(03:22):
commercial and then come back with something Christmas y and
we're gonna we're gonna do overall.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Okay, we'll reset this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Okay, And if you're listening to us, this is not
on me. I just want to talk to you for
a second. John Alden is a pretty stupid person. You
ask him to do something nice, man, and he and
he does this for you.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Well was that nothing?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Huh? What was it?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I took my headphones out for a second and I
thought I heard something.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Just letting them the listeners know that we were gonna know.
I was letting listeners. Oh, we'll be right back, So
we'll come back one real quick commercial, come back with
something nice and Christmas is for you folks, and we'll
reset news Radio eight four whis don't screw this up, man, Okay, Okay,
I guess hey, John, Look from now on, I'm just
(04:09):
gonna pick the music for you and what.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Is wrong with Bob Rivers? This is this is just
as good as the last song, if not better, I
just give up. It's very christmas y. You can imagine
the snow falling around mister Bob Rivers as he sings
this song, and it's very fitting.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, what's the implication there by looking at me and
saying it's fitting saying I'll be stone for Christmas? Man?
What what's the implication there? Dude?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Well, maybe some people will be stone for Christmas. So
people who are going to take that route can relate.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
News Radio eight forty w h as Dwight Witten, John
Wayne Gate, I mean, excuse me, I mean John William Alden.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
The third, the third, John Wayne Gase. I don't know
where that came from. I'm sorry, I don't know where
it came from.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Either. Welcome a boy on a snowy Friday. If if
you're listening, if my wife's listening, Susan, be careful because
there's twelve inches of snow out there. Everybody else there's
five inches of snow out there. Be careful. I would suggest, though,
(05:18):
if you have elderly people using the snowshovel, to have
them loosen up. My mother came over. I loosened her
up room, I gave her some calistenics, and you know,
we warmed her up inside in the kitchen. We promised
her hot cocoa. And Darlene is out there shoveling the
sidewalk right now like a chat man. It's so embarrassing.
It's not embarrassing to be embarrassing. You got to keep
(05:39):
your own people actively listen. It keeps them happy, it
makes them feel like they got a purpose, and it
gets your show, your snow shoveling done. Well.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I hope you don't go home later today and see
her on her face in the driveway.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well, she usually doesn't start drinking too about noon, so uh,
chances are I won't be seeing that. Hey man, got
a lot of great guests this morning. It's the Sneaking Deacon.
Greg get Youer is gonna join us. We're gonna talk
about some secret service stories plus his book. Listen if
you're looking for a perfect, perfect gift to give a
(06:14):
stocking stuffer for that matter, Greg Getcher's book The Sneaking
Deacon From Secret Service to Sacred Service. It's got so
many great stories in there. You'll probably read it a
couple of times. Plus George Timmering from He's my pizza dealer,
John Alden, Oh yeahs a great pizza dealer. Great pizza dealer.
George Tammering coming by. He's gonna be talking about doing
(06:36):
some good for the neighborhood. That's all Baron knows, does man,
They constantly give back. Two opportunities. We're gonna feed some
hungry people. That's an opportunity. And then also we're gonna
get some toys. We're gonna do one j u a
n one last push to get some toys to children
in need for this Christmas season. Plus, if you've never
(06:59):
heard Velma Hagar's story, she is Sammy Hagar's sister. We've
been friends for years. I don't know Sammy. People ask
me that all the time. I have been dear friends
with his sister, Velma for years and years and years.
She's gonna join us, and she's gonna tell the story
of Hagar Christmases as they grew up, and it's inspiring.
(07:21):
It's humbling, but it's also inspiring. It's a great story.
So I hope you stick around for all of that,
but be careful. The roads seem to be fine. John,
You're the one that has to get up at like,
you know, one o'clock in the morning and start driving in.
What was it like when you came in?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It wasn't too bad, especially when you compare to what
happened ten days ago, the day that you left for vacation.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah. Can we not talk about that ever again?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
No, we can erase that day from your memory.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, if there were only a way that United Airline
would have known it was gonna snow.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, only if. But it took me so last time
it took me about fifty five minutes to get here.
I was able to shave about fifteen minutes off of
that this time around. Kudos to Bullet County for treating
Highway forty four a lot earlier this time around, and
the interstates were also a lot better taken care of.
And I feel like it was a pretty smooth drive
in for not only myself, but hopefully most of everybody
(08:12):
else who had to go in that early this morning.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I want to say thank you in kudos to Jimmy
Jams and all of the guys and gals at Jaytown
Public Works. Wow, Jaytown Public Works, I might have my
mother join them because she does really good at snow
removal and oh yes. The best but very first thing
I did this morning is I texted John in the newsroom.
(08:34):
I said, hey, man, what am I looking at? He
said he thought the roads were fine than they were. Yeah,
here we go, man, here's another complaint, Kelly Jones. For
goodness sakes, can't you guys get a little bit of
class about you and play Brenda Lee's rocking around the
Christmas tree? Yeah? You know, that's kind of why I
was talking about Kelly. Yeah, I hate to beat a
(08:54):
dead horse, but John, you got a lot to learn
about radio, dude.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well, here we can. We can do a little of
appeasing right now. Here's here is that for mister Kelly?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
See this nice and christmasy? Look at that lights?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Just like that's a fourth streets dancing to the song
for us, John william on the third Yeah, what do
you suppose Brenda Lee's wearing when she's singing this? Women's underwear?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Man, there you go, Kelly Jones. Did you see where
okay ols epic is the Uh? That's the fat people shot? Right?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I think?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
So okay? And my doctor is uh. I had him
explain this to me, he said, I said, how does
this whole thing work? And it again, this is me
paraphrasing a doctor. So I know people think that I'm
like the head of surgery at many many places. I'm
a very important, smart doctor guy. I'm not so if
(09:52):
this is inaccurate, don't sue me. Brenda from Prospect. But
the way it was plain to me that yeah, it
does slow down your digestive system, but it also blocks
the reward center in your brain. So you know, if
you like chocolate cake, it allows you eat one piece
of chocolate cake and it shuts down the noise in
your head. And I had heard stories that people had
(10:16):
quit drinking like many because I got a lot of
friends that use it. And they said, I haven't had
a drink of alcohol since. I said, well, seriously, sad, Yeah,
somehow it affected that. Well. Now there's a pill that's
being prescribed as much like ozempic that's curbing alcohol cravings
for alcoholics. It's called and I'm gonna I'm sure I'm
(10:38):
gonna screw up this name. An elacstrone is being called
the ozempic of alcohol because it's curbing the Uh, I
guess when they you know, what's the word I'm looking for?
You got me so shook by screwing up my show, dude,
Bill Cox? Maybe yeah, that was it. Yeah, it's it's
it's helping them, fave stave off the cravings for alcohol.
(11:02):
And here's the good news. It's only a dollar sixty
a pill. Because you know, when they came out with
this shot to help lose weight, I think it was
like fifteen hundred or two grand a month. To be honest, thing,
I don't see how you could. I'll see how you
can feed the habit.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I can't. I'm always hesitant with any of these things.
And I'm not necessarily the demographic that things like ozepic
are really targeting right now. But it's still just as
someone who's always a skeptic to anything new when it
comes to I guess the medical field, whatever it may be,
not that this is like truly like medicine, but it
always worry like, what are the side effect the long
term side effects twenty thirty years from now. Even though
(11:41):
it may be you know, helping you get in better shape,
that sort of thing, how could it potentially, you know,
make things really harmful to your body? You know down
the road.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Well, that's why I do nothing. But I try to
drink one gallon of Camp La June water a day,
and that keeps you hydrated and flushes your system. And
that's that. Uh yeah, hey, anyway, listen, stick around if
you haven't, if you haven't heard, by now, it has
snowed five inches, susan, if you're listening, twelve inches. But
(12:13):
the roads seem to be fine. It looks like the Louisville.
I guess Littleville got out there and bring the roads
made him real juicy. Yeah, that's what you would do
when you brin the roads. It could be nice and
juicy when you cook them. All right, stick around more
on the way, But right now I want to tell
you about Tri State men's health. Guys. It's the weekend time,
(12:33):
and weekends are made for whoopee, especially with a nice
big blanket of snow out there. Are you talking about
a romatic evening? That's right, light that fire, get your partner,

very funny comedian. He's committed to come on the show

Twelve Days of Louisville Christmas and it's hilarious. I said,

Lovers in on the show. Hey, listen, uh, I had
(15:11):

any problem for Air Force wand otherwise known as my

thing and you save thousands of dollars less? When I
(15:34):
bought my twenty nineteen jeep Wrangler in twenty nineteen, I
got it pre owned from Craig and Landreth, and I
saved thousands. It had that new car look, that new
car smell, even that factory coveted new car warranty. What
it didn't have was thousands and thousands of dollars of
depreciation the second I drove off the lot. And right

I want to let you know that my brother Edgar
Martinez in Cabo is listening to us in Mexico. All right,
can we open up a Baron's in Cabo, San Lucas.
I'm serious about this because I really just want to
move there, Susan, I mean, were there three times a
(17:20):
year already, and.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
If weather keeps like this, I think that's.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So. Uh would you trust me with a franchise. It's
a different country man, I know you. Listen, I've asked
you several times.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I don't like it worked here. We would have to
give you a lot of special assistance.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Self you because I asked him, I said, John Alden,
I said, hey, George, how about the Witting family. We
collect our funds and we buy a franchise for you.
And he just looked. It took me like two seconds
and he goes, uh, you're not Baronos franchise material.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I don't disagree.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
What did your wife tell me? One time we were
at dinner, George and I and my wife and George
and his wife. We all we all went out to
dinner and at one point it was it was you.
You grabbed my arm and you went it's okay, not
to talk. Sometimes we were in a country club. Anyway,
(18:16):
Good to see you, my friend, and listen, it's no secrete.
The Wittings. We we kick off every single weekend with
Barono's Pizza on Friday night, so let's we Sometimes we
have an advance we put it to uh, Saturday. But
first of all I want to talk about, is this
only available at the tap house location? Because Susan and
(18:40):
I were in Mexico and we see Glenn Uh, one
of your chefs post this uh Philly cheese steak pizza
and I can't that's what we're going with tonight. Is
it just at the taphouse right now?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
It's just out of our jay Town location, the five
oh two Taphouse.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
One of the things. Look if if you listen to
the show and you hear us talk about our sponsors
on here, the love that we have for him as genuine.
As a matter of fact, we've turned down opportunities to
be spokespersons for certain companies we didn't believe them. Baron
Knows was the very first place that I went to
when I went back on the air, and I said, George,
(19:17):
I got to represent you out. I'm in the pizza pa,
I'm in your place every single week. And I'm very
proud to be attached to the Baronos name.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
We're a very charitable organization and it started back then
being on your show.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
But one of the things that you do one of
the reasons I'm so proud to be attached to Baronos
is because you do good for the neighborhood. And we
got a couple of ways to do that. It's the
holiday season, number one, starting this Sunday. Let's feed some
people and you constantly look out for others. Let's feed
some people, but let's have some fun while doing it, right.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Well, we've been doing the Baronols food drive has been
since before Thanksgiving and we've done really well. But we're
carrying it through Christmas and we're, uh, we're you know,
raising you know, perishables for Catholic Charities and we're we're
feeding the pantries at Sister Visitor down the West End
and Father Jack Jones, which is a holy named Catholic
(20:17):
church right there. So there are two pantries run by
Catholic charities. They do great work. They feed a lot
of people, and you know, don't want anybody to be,
uh be worried about having enough food, you know, during
during the Christmas holidays. So to take it up another notch, uh,
we were having a special event to continue to promote
our food drive in this Sunday at the Baronos five
(20:42):
h two tab house in jay Town. We are having
tunes for the pantries, and our good friend Rayner Hoyer,
his baby writer and R and R three is going
to be playing from four to seven, and then we
have a special visitor, Santa Claus is going to come
by about Oh.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Hang on, stop man, you got Papa Noel coming to
Baronos and you don't lead with it. We s why
do you tell me that? Man? I wanted you know,
I would have wanted to be in the meetings where
you talked. Was it a zoom called in the North Pole?
Speaker 5 (21:13):
How do you it's it's six thirty. He's gonna stop by.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Uh, Rainer's gonna be playing the tunes and R and
R three and uh so we're gonna have a lot
of fun. But bring your can goods, enjoy some Barono's
pizza and uh well, we're gonna really have a big,
big night on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
We're looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
When you reach out to Santa Claus and you say, hey,
I need you to gig, how does that go down? Man?
Do you do like a zoom call to the uh
North Pole? Or is it? How does that work? Is
it difficult? Because it seems like he's tough to get
especially right now is December. You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
I think Rainer gave him some cash. Rainer, yeah, that's
that's right.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
And just I wanted to throw one thing out Sunday night.
If you come to see R and R three in
the band and tunes for the pantry, he's had any
of your batteries for your hearing aids or anything else.
Yesterday Rayner while he was taking his pills. This is
old age problem. Oh yeah, while Rayner is taking his pills. Yeah,
he accidentally swallows his hearing aid battery. All so he
(22:18):
had to have some procedures done. But his voice is okay.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I wish you could see John all in his face.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
His voice is okay. And uh, he'll be ready to sing.
And we're gonna, like I said, collect all kinds of
more King goods there for Catholic charities and the and
the food drive has gone really well so far. We've
emptied out a couple of boxes at every location, but
we want to we want to finish strong right before
the holidays. So when you're out and around doing your
(22:46):
shopping for your holiday parties, make sure you know you
grab a few can goods and bring them by baron nos.
You know, uh and uh make sure you know, nobody
goes hungry and everybody's fed well during the Christmas.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Let's stick on this for a little bit, feeding some people.
Is this so obviously there's a need for food all
year round in Louisville, well any city for that matter.
But would this be this food drive? Is it kind
of like a holiday meal theme, like if boxes of
mashed potatoes things like that, or is just any kind
(23:20):
of food I'm sure any any kind of foods welcome.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Any kind of foods welcome, any kind of you know,
the non perishable items. So it's you know, peanut butter,
you know, whatever, where cereals, anything like that.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
Whatever. You know, people if their bills are tight this
year for people.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
You know, if you can kind of take care of
them helping with their food, then maybe they have money
for their medicine, their rent, other things. So and that's
the way, you know, look at but father Jack Jones,
that facilities only open up three days and they have
hundreds and hundreds of people that come by and that
are in need. And that's over by Churchill Downs, and
so you know, when you see the need, you see
the people, it's it's definite out there.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah listen. So it seems like the need gets greater
and greater every single year. Let's talk about rocking the stock.
And I've been wanting to do this for about fifteen years,
and every year I dropped the ball. This year, I
piggybacked and I said, George, let's finally get it off
the ground. So on December twenty third, Barono's Pizza and
(24:24):
Number One Tequila presents one last push to get some
toys in children and needs hands. And that's what we're
gonna do on the twenty third. It's not a requirement.
We're just gonna have fun. We want you to come
out on December twenty third Barono's Third Market. And I
got to tell you when I was there last yeek
we didn't do the toy razer last year, but we
(24:46):
did do this event last year, and it really gets
you to the Christmas spirit because you're downtown, it's cold.
Barono's Third Market has all the Christmas lights going, the
whole bit. It makes you, It really puts you in
this we are ready, doesn't it?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Well?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Absolutely, And you know the great thing about holidays is
seeing old friends. And last year it was Dave Moody
of course, and he's it was kind of the short
bus last year. This year he's going to be with
Patrick Michaels.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
But it was really for me. It was like a
gold Nugget Fern and Moody's whatever hikes point, butual reunion.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
It was.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
You know, I saw so many people come to from
my Nugget days and and and you know what, they
can all still drink really well. Yeah, and they we
really say. It was a big night, a lot of fun,
and you know nothing better that says the holidays. You know,
before you have to spend time with your family on
the twenty fourth and the twenty fifth, come out twenty
third with your friends and have a good time that
night and and rock the stockings, bring some toys, do whatever,
(25:49):
or just you know, come out and have a good time.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah. I get it's not a requirement. It's just something
that George, and as a matter of fact, we I
was in Mexico when you and I were having this conversation.
We said, let's do it, man, let's let's do one
last push to try to get some toys and some
children and needs hands.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I was worried you needed help putting, you know, suntan
lotion on or something. I was like, I'm not coming
down to that, but but you know, this charity.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Thing is is much better. Rock in the stock is
much better than that.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Baronels pizza as Louisville style pizza. I got to ask
you about the name Baronols. Is the name Barons simply
I don't want to be offensive in this, but simply
out of laziness or cost cutting because you all buy
a building it already had Baronos on it. Is that
how it's?
Speaker 4 (26:39):
You know?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
In Sicily, there's this huge volcano called Mount Bears, and
since with our pizza we're trying to achieve the highest level,
we thought, let's name it after that. Actually I think
it is. There is a supposedly whatever is there volcano
insert but no. Hal Mooney, Rob Mooney's father, the Papa,
(27:03):
the true Papa Barons started all he and his brother
Kenny Mooney were They were police officers about to retire.
Rob's mother, Mama Baronos, had just inherited some money and
they decided to get in the restaurant, but used kind
of the Mooney's old family recipes and they were found
(27:25):
this place, they bought Barons and they were going to
change the name, and they priced out how much the
signs were and the sign was going to cost almost
as much as their whole investment, and the Baron knows
so so Hal and Kenny said, hey, looks good, let's
stick with Barons. That's glass So so forty nine years later,
(27:47):
you know our forty eight. It's going to be forty
nine here next next year, and we're looking forward to
celebrateing our our fiftieth and twenty twenty seven. But yeah,
all those years, Barons is it's been the name and
the one we stuck with.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
You took a shot too, And by the way, I
got to pay you a compliment. As much as I
hate doing that because we joke with each other a lot,
I've never seen a harder worker than you. And in
my life, I mean your CEO of Baar knows several
thirteen locations now right. Every single game you're working, every
single concert, you're working, and when I mean working, you're
(28:23):
doing everything.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Dwight, I should have just studied a little bit harder
and laws and it didn't work out. So I'm in
the pizza business. But no, I love you know, when
I talked to you know, friends of mine went to
college or whatever. I've always loved pizza, and I Daryl,
I'm not kidding. I started eating Baar Knows back with
darryl Isaacs back in the early nineties when we were
(28:45):
in law school together. And I got to all of
sudden become friends with Rob Mooney and then Joe Steyer myself,
we all got involved. You know, is July ninety five,
and and you know it's it's it's hard work, but
it's fun. It's enjoyable. You know, I'm bringing you know,
pizza's happiness for a lot of people. It's a good
(29:06):
it's a good thing, you know, Friday night, Pizza Night.
It's one thing people can look forward to. And you know,
Baron Knows is glad to be a part.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
Of it, and so on.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I and you took a big risk. I know we're
getting short on time, John Auden, but I got to
get this in downtown's popular now and there's you know,
you got the Bats here, you got four Street Live,
you got many many businesses that came down here. But
you took a big gamble because way before there was
Aym Center, way before there was a slugger field way
(29:34):
before there was anything. Quite frankly, you took over that
second Street location, Well that was rolling the dice, right.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Joe Star and I were with our high school buddies.
We were causing a lot of problems back in the
early eighties in downtown Louisville, and we just kind of
fell in love with downtown. And you know, we worked
at Anthony's by the Bridge and we were just kind
of always tied to downtown. And it's been great to
see downtown town grow. But it's been a challenge. It's
it's up and down. It's been it's been a roller
(30:04):
coaster ride.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Uh, you know, and and you know, you.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Hate to look at COVID or whatever, but you know,
and the protests, but a lot of that changed, uh, downtown.
But there's a lot of positives. You know, the Louisville
Tourism does a great job, Downtown Management District does a
great job. So there's a lot of people promoting Louisville.
And we have we have the Young Center. So I
think the big thing is just getting people at least
(30:28):
more people working downtown again.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
And and uh, but you know, downtown Louisville that is
that is Louisville's neighborhood. You know, every we're all proud of.
You're proud of the South End.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I'm proud of Hikes Point, Bechell, everybody's proud of where
they're from in their neighborhood and where they live now.
But when we all come together, it's it's downtown. So
it's Baronos has been glad to be a part of it.
We're working to hopefully finish out my my days in
the pizza business, you know, uh, the next ten years
or so downtown and it's a great you know, a
lot going on, basketball game tomorrow, actors, theater. Man, it's
(31:03):
great to have a Christmas Carol back. And I know
Tony was talking about last week and you know we
gave a discount. You could mention Baronos and get a discount.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
You know.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Those are the activities people come down for and enjoy
and they make memories and have a good time. And
so it's great to be a part of downtown and
proud of it and hope to be part of downtown
many years to come.

Hey, man, I stopped that John kill that dude. I
just ran all the way. What's gonna stop?
Speaker 2 (00:05):
What are young man? This is a great song.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Stopped the song. Hey, I got catch my breath. I
ran all the way from the break room. Listen. I
told you to play a nice song to get people
in the Christmas mood. We got the snow. Yeah, and
you play this crap. Man, this is a great Christmas song.
A breath.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I cannot believe.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
That's not what I wanted, man, I wanted something nice
and christmasy. You know nothing's gone right this morning. I'll
come in. I left the cord for Sputnick at my house.
Now I'm praying that he doesn't run out of a
juice and you pull this stuff. Man, he didn't take
your lions, mate, I can tell I didn't take my line.
It's a bad morning, man. All I wanted to do
(00:47):
was something for the listeners, put in a nice Christmas mood.
And you run the dude.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
No, no, I absolutely brought them in with the best
thing possible.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Nobody wants to hear about guys walking around in women's underwear. Man,
we I wanted something nice at Christmas, and I snowy
look at us like a Hallmark movie type thing. Man,
you play this.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Well, what do we do now?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Then?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
What do we do?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Frank? I don't know because my mom. As a matter
of fact, my mom listens to this show. And here's
what's worse. My mom was when I left this morning. Okay,
I rode down my window and I told my mom
as she was shoveling my driveway, I'm gonna play something
nice and pretty for you, mom. That's what I'm gonna
(01:29):
do for you, shoveling our driveway and walkway. So she
put her walk man on and I promise my mother
she'd have something. And then you pull this crap. Man.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I think that is very root of you to have
your own mother shovel your driveway when you have to
be the one to go to work this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I gotta work, Man, How am I gonna get out
of my driveway? My mother doesn't shovel my driveway? Get
away your stupid.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
You have to get up early like me and take
care of it yourself like an adult.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
She's retired. She gets up early. It gives her something
to do, It keeps her active, keep these retired.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
After today, you might be retired after today, not to mention.
You know you always say you don't want these meetings.
You're gonna be having a meeting after the show. I
can guarantee you.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Because of me. It is because you playing that crap man.
I could promise you the barbera lady from Prospect. You'll
probably already called complain by now three times.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You're probably right.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I don't even know if I want to do the
show man. Boy, you let me down. You look okay,
let's reset. Okay, and I'm sorry of taking out on
this on you, but that was stupid for you to
start to show off.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
This is what happens when Tony Venetti isn't here. He
has to be. He's the buffer between this nonsense.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I gotta calm down. Play one commercial, okay, here's what
I want to do at this point. Here's what I
want to do. And I don't want to go on
the weekend mad at you for doing something stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I don't want to be mad at you either, for
not being in your seat on time.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I would have been on. That's why I said, play
a nice snowy Christmas song. I need coffee and then
I'm back there getting my coffee. I didn't even I
ran from the break room to get here because you're
playing stupid stuff like that guys walking around in women's underwear. Man,
you think that's what the listeners want to hear. Nice
of Christmas, that Christmas. But you know what, play one
(03:22):
commercial and then come back with something Christmas y and
we're gonna we're gonna do overall.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Okay, we'll reset this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Okay, And if you're listening to us, this is not
on me. I just want to talk to you for
a second. John Alden is a pretty stupid person. You
ask him to do something nice, man, and he and
he does this for you.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Well was that nothing?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Huh? What was it?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I took my headphones out for a second and I
thought I heard something.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Just letting them the listeners know that we were gonna know.
I was letting listeners. Oh, we'll be right back, So
we'll come back one real quick commercial, come back with
something nice and Christmas is for you folks, and we'll
reset news Radio eight four whis don't screw this up, man, Okay, Okay,
I guess hey, John, Look from now on, I'm just
(04:09):
gonna pick the music for you and what.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Is wrong with Bob Rivers? This is this is just
as good as the last song, if not better, I
just give up. It's very christmas y. You can imagine
the snow falling around mister Bob Rivers as he sings
this song, and it's very fitting.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, what's the implication there by looking at me and
saying it's fitting saying I'll be stone for Christmas? Man?
What what's the implication there? Dude?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Well, maybe some people will be stone for Christmas. So
people who are going to take that route can relate.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
News Radio eight forty w h as Dwight Witten, John
Wayne Gate, I mean, excuse me, I mean John William Alden.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
The third, the third, John Wayne Gase. I don't know
where that came from. I'm sorry, I don't know where
it came from.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Either. Welcome a boy on a snowy Friday. If if
you're listening, if my wife's listening, Susan, be careful because
there's twelve inches of snow out there. Everybody else there's
five inches of snow out there. Be careful. I would suggest, though,
(05:18):
if you have elderly people using the snowshovel, to have
them loosen up. My mother came over. I loosened her
up room, I gave her some calistenics, and you know,
we warmed her up inside in the kitchen. We promised
her hot cocoa. And Darlene is out there shoveling the
sidewalk right now like a chat man. It's so embarrassing.
It's not embarrassing to be embarrassing. You got to keep
(05:39):
your own people actively listen. It keeps them happy, it
makes them feel like they got a purpose, and it
gets your show, your snow shoveling done. Well.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I hope you don't go home later today and see
her on her face in the driveway.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well, she usually doesn't start drinking too about noon, so uh,
chances are I won't be seeing that. Hey man, got
a lot of great guests this morning. It's the Sneaking Deacon.
Greg get Youer is gonna join us. We're gonna talk
about some secret service stories plus his book. Listen if
you're looking for a perfect, perfect gift to give a
(06:14):
stocking stuffer for that matter, Greg Getcher's book The Sneaking
Deacon From Secret Service to Sacred Service. It's got so
many great stories in there. You'll probably read it a
couple of times. Plus George Timmering from He's my pizza dealer,
John Alden, Oh yeahs a great pizza dealer. Great pizza dealer.
George Tammering coming by. He's gonna be talking about doing
(06:36):
some good for the neighborhood. That's all Baron knows, does man,
They constantly give back. Two opportunities. We're gonna feed some
hungry people. That's an opportunity. And then also we're gonna
get some toys. We're gonna do one j u a
n one last push to get some toys to children
in need for this Christmas season. Plus, if you've never
(06:59):
heard Velma Hagar's story, she is Sammy Hagar's sister. We've
been friends for years. I don't know Sammy. People ask
me that all the time. I have been dear friends
with his sister, Velma for years and years and years.
She's gonna join us, and she's gonna tell the story
of Hagar Christmases as they grew up, and it's inspiring.
(07:21):
It's humbling, but it's also inspiring. It's a great story.
So I hope you stick around for all of that,
but be careful. The roads seem to be fine. John,
You're the one that has to get up at like,
you know, one o'clock in the morning and start driving in.
What was it like when you came in?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It wasn't too bad, especially when you compare to what
happened ten days ago, the day that you left for vacation.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah. Can we not talk about that ever again?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
No, we can erase that day from your memory.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, if there were only a way that United Airline
would have known it was gonna snow.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, only if. But it took me so last time
it took me about fifty five minutes to get here.
I was able to shave about fifteen minutes off of
that this time around. Kudos to Bullet County for treating
Highway forty four a lot earlier this time around, and
the interstates were also a lot better taken care of.
And I feel like it was a pretty smooth drive
in for not only myself, but hopefully most of everybody
(08:12):
else who had to go in that early this morning.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I want to say thank you in kudos to Jimmy
Jams and all of the guys and gals at Jaytown
Public Works. Wow, Jaytown Public Works, I might have my
mother join them because she does really good at snow
removal and oh yes. The best but very first thing
I did this morning is I texted John in the newsroom.
(08:34):
I said, hey, man, what am I looking at? He
said he thought the roads were fine than they were. Yeah,
here we go, man, here's another complaint, Kelly Jones. For
goodness sakes, can't you guys get a little bit of
class about you and play Brenda Lee's rocking around the
Christmas tree? Yeah? You know, that's kind of why I
was talking about Kelly. Yeah, I hate to beat a
(08:54):
dead horse, but John, you got a lot to learn
about radio, dude.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well, here we can. We can do a little of
appeasing right now. Here's here is that for mister Kelly?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
See this nice and christmasy? Look at that lights?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Just like that's a fourth streets dancing to the song
for us, John william on the third Yeah, what do
you suppose Brenda Lee's wearing when she's singing this? Women's underwear?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Man, there you go, Kelly Jones. Did you see where
okay ols epic is the Uh? That's the fat people shot? Right?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I think?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
So okay? And my doctor is uh. I had him
explain this to me, he said, I said, how does
this whole thing work? And it again, this is me
paraphrasing a doctor. So I know people think that I'm
like the head of surgery at many many places. I'm
a very important, smart doctor guy. I'm not so if
(09:52):
this is inaccurate, don't sue me. Brenda from Prospect. But
the way it was plain to me that yeah, it
does slow down your digestive system, but it also blocks
the reward center in your brain. So you know, if
you like chocolate cake, it allows you eat one piece
of chocolate cake and it shuts down the noise in
your head. And I had heard stories that people had
(10:16):
quit drinking like many because I got a lot of
friends that use it. And they said, I haven't had
a drink of alcohol since. I said, well, seriously, sad, Yeah,
somehow it affected that. Well. Now there's a pill that's
being prescribed as much like ozempic that's curbing alcohol cravings
for alcoholics. It's called and I'm gonna I'm sure I'm
(10:38):
gonna screw up this name. An elacstrone is being called
the ozempic of alcohol because it's curbing the Uh, I
guess when they you know, what's the word I'm looking for?
You got me so shook by screwing up my show, dude,
Bill Cox? Maybe yeah, that was it. Yeah, it's it's
it's helping them, fave stave off the cravings for alcohol.
(11:02):
And here's the good news. It's only a dollar sixty
a pill. Because you know, when they came out with
this shot to help lose weight, I think it was
like fifteen hundred or two grand a month. To be honest, thing,
I don't see how you could. I'll see how you
can feed the habit.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I can't. I'm always hesitant with any of these things.
And I'm not necessarily the demographic that things like ozepic
are really targeting right now. But it's still just as
someone who's always a skeptic to anything new when it
comes to I guess the medical field, whatever it may be,
not that this is like truly like medicine, but it
always worry like, what are the side effect the long
term side effects twenty thirty years from now. Even though
(11:41):
it may be you know, helping you get in better shape,
that sort of thing, how could it potentially, you know,
make things really harmful to your body? You know down
the road.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Well, that's why I do nothing. But I try to
drink one gallon of Camp La June water a day,
and that keeps you hydrated and flushes your system. And
that's that. Uh yeah, hey, anyway, listen, stick around if
you haven't, if you haven't heard, by now, it has
snowed five inches, susan, if you're listening, twelve inches. But
(12:13):
the roads seem to be fine. It looks like the Louisville.
I guess Littleville got out there and bring the roads
made him real juicy. Yeah, that's what you would do
when you brin the roads. It could be nice and
juicy when you cook them. All right, stick around more
on the way, But right now I want to tell
you about Tri State men's health. Guys. It's the weekend time,
(12:33):

very funny comedian. He's committed to come on the show
(14:50):
next week. And Bernie always does his version of the
Twelve Days of Louisville Christmas and it's hilarious. I said,

and it's even funnier. So can't wait to get Bernie
Lovers in on the show. Hey, listen, uh, I had
(15:11):
no trouble getting in because the roads they were clear.
But even if they weren't clear, it wouldn't it been
any problem for Air Force wand otherwise known as my
twenty nineteen Craig and Landreth jeep Wrangler. Listen, folks, why

thing and you save thousands of dollars less? When I
(15:34):
bought my twenty nineteen jeep Wrangler in twenty nineteen, I
got it pre owned from Craig and Landreth, and I
saved thousands. It had that new car look, that new
car smell, even that factory coveted new car warranty. What
it didn't have was thousands and thousands of dollars of
depreciation the second I drove off the lot. And right
now we're celebrating fifty years. Can you believe that fifty
(15:58):

Speaker 1 (17:00):
It's a dealer. George Tammering, what's up, brother, Good morning, Dwight.
I want to let you know that my brother Edgar
Martinez in Cabo is listening to us in Mexico. All right,
can we open up a Baron's in Cabo, San Lucas.
I'm serious about this because I really just want to
move there, Susan, I mean, were there three times a
(17:20):
year already, and.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
If weather keeps like this, I think that's.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So. Uh would you trust me with a franchise. It's
a different country man, I know you. Listen, I've asked
you several times.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I don't like it worked here. We would have to
give you a lot of special assistance.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Self you because I asked him, I said, John Alden,
I said, hey, George, how about the Witting family. We
collect our funds and we buy a franchise for you.
And he just looked. It took me like two seconds
and he goes, uh, you're not Baronos franchise material.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I don't disagree.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
What did your wife tell me? One time we were
at dinner, George and I and my wife and George
and his wife. We all we all went out to
dinner and at one point it was it was you.
You grabbed my arm and you went it's okay, not
to talk. Sometimes we were in a country club. Anyway,
(18:16):
Good to see you, my friend, and listen, it's no secrete.
The Wittings. We we kick off every single weekend with
Barono's Pizza on Friday night, so let's we Sometimes we
have an advance we put it to uh, Saturday. But
first of all I want to talk about, is this
only available at the tap house location? Because Susan and
(18:40):
I were in Mexico and we see Glenn Uh, one
of your chefs post this uh Philly cheese steak pizza
and I can't that's what we're going with tonight. Is
it just at the taphouse right now?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
It's just out of our jay Town location, the five
oh two Taphouse.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
One of the things. Look if if you listen to
the show and you hear us talk about our sponsors
on here, the love that we have for him as genuine.
As a matter of fact, we've turned down opportunities to
be spokespersons for certain companies we didn't believe them. Baron
Knows was the very first place that I went to
when I went back on the air, and I said, George,
(19:17):
I got to represent you out. I'm in the pizza pa,
I'm in your place every single week. And I'm very
proud to be attached to the Baronos name.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
We're a very charitable organization and it started back then
being on your show.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
But one of the things that you do one of
the reasons I'm so proud to be attached to Baronos
is because you do good for the neighborhood. And we
got a couple of ways to do that. It's the
holiday season, number one, starting this Sunday. Let's feed some
people and you constantly look out for others. Let's feed
some people, but let's have some fun while doing it, right.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Well, we've been doing the Baronols food drive has been
since before Thanksgiving and we've done really well. But we're
carrying it through Christmas and we're, uh, we're you know,
raising you know, perishables for Catholic Charities and we're we're
feeding the pantries at Sister Visitor down the West End
and Father Jack Jones, which is a holy named Catholic
(20:17):
church right there. So there are two pantries run by
Catholic charities. They do great work. They feed a lot
of people, and you know, don't want anybody to be,
uh be worried about having enough food, you know, during
during the Christmas holidays. So to take it up another notch, uh,
we were having a special event to continue to promote
our food drive in this Sunday at the Baronos five
(20:42):
h two tab house in jay Town. We are having
tunes for the pantries, and our good friend Rayner Hoyer,
his baby writer and R and R three is going
to be playing from four to seven, and then we
have a special visitor, Santa Claus is going to come
by about Oh.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Hang on, stop man, you got Papa Noel coming to
Baronos and you don't lead with it. We s why
do you tell me that? Man? I wanted you know,
I would have wanted to be in the meetings where
you talked. Was it a zoom called in the North Pole?
Speaker 5 (21:13):
How do you it's it's six thirty. He's gonna stop by.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Uh, Rainer's gonna be playing the tunes and R and
R three and uh so we're gonna have a lot
of fun. But bring your can goods, enjoy some Barono's
pizza and uh well, we're gonna really have a big,
big night on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
We're looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
When you reach out to Santa Claus and you say, hey,
I need you to gig, how does that go down? Man?
Do you do like a zoom call to the uh
North Pole? Or is it? How does that work? Is
it difficult? Because it seems like he's tough to get
especially right now is December. You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
I think Rainer gave him some cash. Rainer, yeah, that's
that's right.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
And just I wanted to throw one thing out Sunday night.
If you come to see R and R three in
the band and tunes for the pantry, he's had any
of your batteries for your hearing aids or anything else.
Yesterday Rayner while he was taking his pills. This is
old age problem. Oh yeah, while Rayner is taking his pills. Yeah,
he accidentally swallows his hearing aid battery. All so he
(22:18):
had to have some procedures done. But his voice is okay.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I wish you could see John all in his face.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
His voice is okay. And uh, he'll be ready to sing.
And we're gonna, like I said, collect all kinds of
more King goods there for Catholic charities and the and
the food drive has gone really well so far. We've
emptied out a couple of boxes at every location, but
we want to we want to finish strong right before
the holidays. So when you're out and around doing your
(22:46):
shopping for your holiday parties, make sure you know you
grab a few can goods and bring them by baron nos.
You know, uh and uh make sure you know, nobody
goes hungry and everybody's fed well during the Christmas.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Let's stick on this for a little bit, feeding some people.
Is this so obviously there's a need for food all
year round in Louisville, well any city for that matter.
But would this be this food drive? Is it kind
of like a holiday meal theme, like if boxes of
mashed potatoes things like that, or is just any kind
(23:20):
of food I'm sure any any kind of foods welcome.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Any kind of foods welcome, any kind of you know,
the non perishable items. So it's you know, peanut butter,
you know, whatever, where cereals, anything like that.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
Whatever. You know, people if their bills are tight this
year for people.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
You know, if you can kind of take care of
them helping with their food, then maybe they have money
for their medicine, their rent, other things. So and that's
the way, you know, look at but father Jack Jones,
that facilities only open up three days and they have
hundreds and hundreds of people that come by and that
are in need. And that's over by Churchill Downs, and
so you know, when you see the need, you see
the people, it's it's definite out there.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah listen. So it seems like the need gets greater
and greater every single year. Let's talk about rocking the stock.
And I've been wanting to do this for about fifteen years,
and every year I dropped the ball. This year, I
piggybacked and I said, George, let's finally get it off
the ground. So on December twenty third, Barono's Pizza and
(24:24):
Number One Tequila presents one last push to get some
toys in children and needs hands. And that's what we're
gonna do on the twenty third. It's not a requirement.
We're just gonna have fun. We want you to come
out on December twenty third Barono's Third Market. And I
got to tell you when I was there last yeek
we didn't do the toy razer last year, but we
(24:46):
did do this event last year, and it really gets
you to the Christmas spirit because you're downtown, it's cold.
Barono's Third Market has all the Christmas lights going, the
whole bit. It makes you, It really puts you in
this we are ready, doesn't it?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Well?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Absolutely, And you know the great thing about holidays is
seeing old friends. And last year it was Dave Moody
of course, and he's it was kind of the short
bus last year. This year he's going to be with
Patrick Michaels.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
But it was really for me. It was like a
gold Nugget Fern and Moody's whatever hikes point, butual reunion.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
It was.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
You know, I saw so many people come to from
my Nugget days and and and you know what, they
can all still drink really well. Yeah, and they we
really say. It was a big night, a lot of fun,
and you know nothing better that says the holidays. You know,
before you have to spend time with your family on
the twenty fourth and the twenty fifth, come out twenty
third with your friends and have a good time that
night and and rock the stockings, bring some toys, do whatever,
(25:49):
or just you know, come out and have a good time.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah. I get it's not a requirement. It's just something
that George, and as a matter of fact, we I
was in Mexico when you and I were having this conversation.
We said, let's do it, man, let's let's do one
last push to try to get some toys and some
children and needs hands.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I was worried you needed help putting, you know, suntan
lotion on or something. I was like, I'm not coming
down to that, but but you know, this charity.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Thing is is much better. Rock in the stock is
much better than that.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Baronels pizza as Louisville style pizza. I got to ask
you about the name Baronols. Is the name Barons simply
I don't want to be offensive in this, but simply
out of laziness or cost cutting because you all buy
a building it already had Baronos on it. Is that
how it's?
Speaker 4 (26:39):
You know?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
In Sicily, there's this huge volcano called Mount Bears, and
since with our pizza we're trying to achieve the highest level,
we thought, let's name it after that. Actually I think
it is. There is a supposedly whatever is there volcano
insert but no. Hal Mooney, Rob Mooney's father, the Papa,
(27:03):
the true Papa Barons started all he and his brother
Kenny Mooney were They were police officers about to retire.
Rob's mother, Mama Baronos, had just inherited some money and
they decided to get in the restaurant, but used kind
of the Mooney's old family recipes and they were found
(27:25):
this place, they bought Barons and they were going to
change the name, and they priced out how much the
signs were and the sign was going to cost almost
as much as their whole investment, and the Baron knows
so so Hal and Kenny said, hey, looks good, let's
stick with Barons. That's glass So so forty nine years later,
(27:47):
you know our forty eight. It's going to be forty
nine here next next year, and we're looking forward to
celebrateing our our fiftieth and twenty twenty seven. But yeah,
all those years, Barons is it's been the name and
the one we stuck with.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
You took a shot too, And by the way, I
got to pay you a compliment. As much as I
hate doing that because we joke with each other a lot,
I've never seen a harder worker than you. And in
my life, I mean your CEO of Baar knows several
thirteen locations now right. Every single game you're working, every
single concert, you're working, and when I mean working, you're
(28:23):
doing everything.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Dwight, I should have just studied a little bit harder
and laws and it didn't work out. So I'm in
the pizza business. But no, I love you know, when
I talked to you know, friends of mine went to
college or whatever. I've always loved pizza, and I Daryl,
I'm not kidding. I started eating Baar Knows back with
darryl Isaacs back in the early nineties when we were
(28:45):
in law school together. And I got to all of
sudden become friends with Rob Mooney and then Joe Steyer myself,
we all got involved. You know, is July ninety five,
and and you know it's it's it's hard work, but
it's fun. It's enjoyable. You know, I'm bringing you know,
pizza's happiness for a lot of people. It's a good
(29:06):
it's a good thing, you know, Friday night, Pizza Night.
It's one thing people can look forward to. And you know,
Baron Knows is glad to be a part.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
Of it, and so on.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I and you took a big risk. I know we're
getting short on time, John Auden, but I got to
get this in downtown's popular now and there's you know,
you got the Bats here, you got four Street Live,
you got many many businesses that came down here. But
you took a big gamble because way before there was
Aym Center, way before there was a slugger field way
(29:34):
before there was anything. Quite frankly, you took over that
second Street location, Well that was rolling the dice, right.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Joe Star and I were with our high school buddies.
We were causing a lot of problems back in the
early eighties in downtown Louisville, and we just kind of
fell in love with downtown. And you know, we worked
at Anthony's by the Bridge and we were just kind
of always tied to downtown. And it's been great to
see downtown town grow. But it's been a challenge. It's
it's up and down. It's been it's been a roller
(30:04):
coaster ride.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Uh, you know, and and you know, you.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Hate to look at COVID or whatever, but you know,
and the protests, but a lot of that changed, uh, downtown.
But there's a lot of positives. You know, the Louisville
Tourism does a great job, Downtown Management District does a
great job. So there's a lot of people promoting Louisville.
And we have we have the Young Center. So I
think the big thing is just getting people at least
(30:28):
more people working downtown again.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
And and uh, but you know, downtown Louisville that is
that is Louisville's neighborhood. You know, every we're all proud of.
You're proud of the South End.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I'm proud of Hikes Point, Bechell, everybody's proud of where
they're from in their neighborhood and where they live now.
But when we all come together, it's it's downtown. So
it's Baronos has been glad to be a part of it.
We're working to hopefully finish out my my days in
the pizza business, you know, uh, the next ten years
or so downtown and it's a great you know, a
lot going on, basketball game tomorrow, actors, theater. Man, it's
(31:03):
great to have a Christmas Carol back. And I know
Tony was talking about last week and you know we
gave a discount. You could mention Baronos and get a discount.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
You know.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Those are the activities people come down for and enjoy
and they make memories and have a good time. And
so it's great to be a part of downtown and
proud of it and hope to be part of downtown
many years to come.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
