Speaker 1 (01:16):
You know, John, I did not know. There's always they
set the bar in nineteen, like seventy six, they had

as John Wayne was at the height of his you know,

from the Love Boat.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
The person that I put on Facebook needs to be

Speaker 2 (01:45):
And by the way, you asked, is anybody those names?
Did you get the link from?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I got about a million different people going, I know
who it is. They said it to me, We'll contact me.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
There's a reporter on way three, and he told the
entire story. Yeah, and he talked and the guy talks
about how he did. He shoved up to bowl to
get a better look, so he wanted was a better look.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
His pants started falling down.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
No, and then people started screaming for them for him
to moon moon the crowd. He was talking about, Hey man,
it's hard to moon the crowd while you're hanging on
a flagpost. So somehow he got his pants off. But
he said, then they had all the cops came where
they were taking their billy clubs and hitting that flagpost.
(02:28):
Say get down here, get down here you hippy and
all this other stuff. Oh boy, So he knew he'd
be in for it if he came came down. So
what he did is somehow he jumped from the flagpole
into the crowd, landed on some poor lady on a
lawn chair, flipped her over, took off running, and somehow
made it out so he never got a rest.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I guess we won't have him on a hear now
since you told no, no, I want to hear about it.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
And it's because I didn't know the ending.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
That's pretty crazy that in that cool I'm pretty sure
Dan mitt Our, old traffic guy was one of the
cops seventy four or seventy five.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
You know what we should do? Would we should get
him on the show and get Dan Mitton on the show? Yeah,
Dan Mitton finally arresting him.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, I think that cop is full circle. I think
I think that's a good idea. All right, So, what
what the hell happened at the chow Wagon last night?
I'm not sure. LMPD put up some video of some
ruckus from some rambunctious teenagers. It's a school night, you know, Yeah,
so they were trying to It's always it's always why
(03:35):
they're just rambunc shows out there to have fun in
the show.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Well, I'm sure there's gonna be a little of a
judge sending them to it, sendence them to the I
gave you a three minute.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Time out from the video. I saw there was a
shriff some LMPD folks trying to rest a woman and
everyone was screaming and pushing trying to get the woman
away from the cops. And then someone another team jumped
into the golf cart and took all off with the
l MPD golf cart. So great, great job in seat
(04:05):
wagon last night, everybody.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Ah. So a couple of thoughts.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
By the way, congratulations to whoever in Georgetown, Kentucky walk. Yeah,
they're gonna walk with seventy seven million dollars if they
take cash value.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I think I might be related to them. What's their name?
What's their name? Jeff Schmidten, Jeff, Oh my gosh, I'm
dead serious. I think I am related to it through
the Connecticut witting.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Okay, Well, whoever has done it already has not come forward.
They're smart then, because you don't have to come forward.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Oh wait, so they don't like being contacted by people.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah, then they're definitely yes, that sounds like. So they
matched all five numbers and then the red power ball two,
so they and then they the power play multiplier was
times three x, so it's one hundred sixty seven million.
Their walk cash value is seventy seven million. It was
sold at the Clark's Pump and Shop.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
They're all over the state.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Clark's Pumping Shop in Georgetown, Kentucky, largest powerball jackpots sold
in Kentucky. Ever, like the pump and shop, you know,
uh okay, yeah, the second thing.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You ain't shopping, not just pumping.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
If you notice it, it leaks.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
It looks like that Churchill outs the Saturday before Derby
seems like did you not see everyone was wised up
like it was Churchill downs or like it was Derby
Day and they were out there Saturday.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Well, it was great Gatsby theme was going on Saturday.
It was the first night of the track. My wife
was out there for some event. I said, hey, I'll
give you thirty two dollars eighty three cents if you
don't make me go. That's all I had on me
at the point. And she said yeah, and she said
she took it. I don't want to be seeing with
you anyway, quite frankly, or something along lines that. But uh,
(06:05):
she said it was packed packed and the pictures I saw,
you know, everyone was dressed up.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
And then they did the pill poll instead in the
middle of the week. They did it Saturday night, and
I think this is I think maybe now the Saturday
before Derby opening night might be that.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Well, but think about it. They kept pushing. You know,
Oaks used to be Louisville's day at the Downs, right, Yeah,
Saturday was the celebrities. Friday, the Oaks was Louis's Day.
Then it got pushed to Thursday. Okay, we don't want
you here on Friday, We'll push you on Thursday, and
on and on and on. So maybe little villains just
got pushed all the way up to a week.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
But they looked great and great. Gatsby turned one hundred.
He was written in nineteen so if it was one
hundred years old, written in nineteen twenty.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Five, right, and it was written by Rodney Gatsby, a
guy that used to go to the seal buckle. Yeah,
did you know that's in there?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yeah, no, it's not. They think you want to steal
bag yes, I do, Yes, I do. He was yes,
f got Fitzgerald used to.

Scott Fitzgerald, Wait, I'm getting women's soccer. Yeah, hang on,
uh no, yeah, it's just sell back right here.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I'm right okay.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I had a buddy that used to copy f Scott
Fitzgerald because he would so he would take the straw
in his drink to make sure he would count how
many drinks? Yet he would just put the straw in
his pocket of his dress jacket so he could see
it on the outside instead of like the.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Little a minute, don't we even count how many drinks?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
So he would every straw every drink he would put
his saw. Yeah, he ran into people. People know, you've
had eight drinks already.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Like he had the eight straws in his box.
Speaker 2 (07:50):

Speaker 1 (07:57):
You think it's It's called being an alcoholic?
Speaker 2 (07:59):

Speaker 1 (08:01):

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Okay, Wow, Okay, look at it. It's crack of dawn.
It's not fifteen in the morning.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Yes, it is not crack.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Spent me a.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
By the way, they're tonight at six o'clock.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
That's what I thought they even they move it around
to confuse old only.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Got six cups of coffee in me. I'm getting correspondence
from Joe Freshley. I need to read this.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
No you don't.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, because it's evolving. The flagpole. He was there that day,
coach Joe Freshley. I was there at the event. The
next person was a young lady who climbed the flagpole
and everyone on herd a strip.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But she refused, Oh she's a good girl, prude.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
He didn't say that. I just said that, and the
crowd threw stuff at her. The infield, he said. The
infield that day was future y D training for your teacher.
He was my y D teacher.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
And I have a message for everybody, and I think
we can lament those.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Days Google, we can lament me.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
We can remember those days with fond and longing, but
we have to move on.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Well, here's what I'll tell you. The infield is not
what it used to be. And that's okay because for
whatever reason, when we do our Derby broadcast, they have
me do the infield reports. Now, it used to be
fun because there would be people out there showing breast
and throwing up alcohol.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And Johnny's talking about chicken breast, talking.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
To garbage cans and puking on each other. Share those
the occasional fornication in the mud. Now it's basically like
you know, the third turn legendary party. Crazy, sure, past
three years. I go over third turn, it's this, and
then somebody walk up and go, do you know where
(11:21):
good a low fit Marcaccino out here? Because it's a
bit breezy and I'm starting to feel like a mucaccino.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
That's actual audio that I got back. That is it's
all suits.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
It's very accurate. Okay, it's very accurate. But those days
are gone. They're capitalists. They're going to sell to people
with more money. And yes, the right of passage was
a high school, senior college kids going out there half naked,
half drunk, bringing in their own grills. It was crazy.
And then you looked at the other side and you said, someday,
I hope to be over there with the people in
(11:57):
the suits. And that's how the right of passage went
for Louisvillions. What's not Louisville's day anymore. It's it's it's
the it's the world's race track. It's not it is
not dominated by locals. And then a couple of celebrities.
This is all out of town people on Derby and Oaks.
So those days are gone and they're gonna take their
their capitalists you guys love cap money. Every They're gonna
(12:21):
charge for every square foot what they can.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
We all.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I I remember fondly.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Well, we got to move on and bring back Central
Avenue all right here and break back Ceterrol Avenue is
John Allen Central Avenue, and oh yeah, I just still
had some. Central Avenue was where the party was Derby Eve.
It would run from I don't know about eight or
nine and ninth to night before, all the way through
(12:51):
until they opened up the gates and then debauchery.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
John that Churchill Down's bought all the houses and bulldoze.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
It was no serious, See, they bulldoze them all.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
So there would be there'd be you know the saw horses,
you know the block traffic, the saw horses. They'd be
at the front and at the end of Central Avenue.
And what they would do is just stay by.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
It was it was like police officers.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Hang on. The police officer would stand there and they
would while you walked by. It was a high school
senior and I walked by because somebody said we have
to do Central Avenue and I'm like, what's Central Avenue?
And they're like watch this. We get down there and
there are three cops standing by the little saw horse
and they go, when you go past here, you're on
your own. Yep, you are you There is no there's
(13:37):
no police in here, and you have to take care
of yourself. So good luck. And that's exactly what it
was like. And it's it's hard to explain that the
world it's.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
All you know what it was like. It was like
escape from New York.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It was and there's there's there's a large argument, John,
that the world is a better place without Cincral Avenue
Party couple of nights before Derby.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Dude, Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Saw a lot of things going on in that ivy.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Alrighty, thank you for you should have named the show
Central Avenue.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
John. That's a dollar out of the jar.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
All right, it's not bad. We got so much to
get to, including we should know this guy's name. We'll go,
we'll do the joke of the day, but we'll all
tease this, Well, we should know this guy's name, but
we don't. He invented something that every single person that
you know uses every single day. Think about that, everybody
(14:38):
you know uses one of these every single day and
we don't know his name.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Carlett, do the joke of the day. It's mama joke
Monday too.

Speaker 2 (15:06):

the museum, the alarm went off. I'm sorry, that's funny
because she's old and everything in there is like Mommy's
an artifact. Then you don't ask mama. She walked out,
and then the alarm goes off because they think she herself?
Is it all? It off? Furniture? Is your furniture old
(15:32):

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Douglas Engelbart, ingle Bart, Douglas engle.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Okay, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Douglas Engelbart. He invented something? Okay for xerox?
Speaker 2 (18:07):

like an idiot right now?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
No, it's a photostatic copy. It's copy machine, zero company,
no zero company xerox. Like before you said make a
copy of this, you know, you say, hey, give me
a coke, No matter what it is. What you want
to call it. Well, they say, hey, give me a coke.
That used to be in the sixties seventies. Hey mak

Speaker 4 (18:36):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Okay, no way ever said make me an hobby.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Douglas Engelbart, Yeah, he invented. People think it was Microsoft,
but it was not. Microsoft either stole it, yeah, or
bought the technology and took claim to it.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Windows the Internet now Al Gore invented the Internet.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
The mouse, the computer mouse. Oh wow, Douglas Inglebart. Shouldn't
we all know Douglas Ingolbart's name. You would think every
person in the world is too, I mean in the known,
the civilized world.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Save it. Now, mouse is mice is the same plural
for a computer mouse? I think, so mice? Well, have
to look that up. Anyway, Your mouse used to have
a ball on it, the roller ball.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yes, that was stupid.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
It was stupid. It was stupid, but you had to
clean them.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
And one of the best things I've ever read was
how to clean your mouse balls.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
So Douglas Ingelbart invented the mouse for either IBM or xerox,
and then Microsoft famous story. They came in and took it,
took the technology four.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
With ninjas, didn't have to buy it from him or any.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I don't know. I don't know what the what the
deal was there. But and then at some point remember
when you didn't have to have the cord anymore?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Not but I said wireless.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I specifically asked, look, do you.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Remember the ones that your hand fit on a gigantic
red ball at the top.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, because I do you know why?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Because it was terrible.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
It was almost cussed.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I know, you just think so bad.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Here's why, almost cussed all of us on the air.
For one hundred point five of the Fox you and
I were doing morning somebody we used this computer. One
person who worked, by the way, worked two hours on
a Sunday. And that's it. That's all the time they
did on air. What two hour shift on Sundays. You're
not in there hours doing mornings. He replaced it because
(20:52):
I like it better.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Do you remember, No, John, you're too young to remember
those the little ball ones? No? No, no, no, I mean
I think you play your hands put your hand on
it and it was a giant red ball. Because you
know why, because it was older than you, bro.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Besides, only a dumb ass would you use one of those?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Okay, Allen Electric sixty three six help is the phone
number if you're looking to get some generators attached to
the house. Generak is the best powers of your entire house.
It took to the natural gas. So the second year
electric goes down. This thing kicks on. No pulling the
little bar like a lawnmower or something, and then going
to get gas all every couple of hours and then
hearing that loud thing on the side of your house. No,
(21:34):
as we're all gone, It just kicks on and your
life goes on as normal, and you'll be the jealous
everyone will be.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Jealous of you.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Walk your neighborhood. The what of the gentsens Chad power
because they called Allen Electric six three six help back
after this on, He's ready to wait forty w a chance.
We are gonna get naked. Flagpole gone on this and
we're going to try to find I think we I'm
friends with the cops that the cops that were banging
(22:06):
on the pole at the bottom waiting for him to
come down, get down here you're doing to hippie.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
They were calling him.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Well, at this point, most police officers in America were
what former Vietnam vets are not former, they're Vietnam Vets
and they come home and they got to deal with
the Zippi. They climb the cup pole, so you know,
they don't have any patience for it. But that's how
it is. It is Derby week, Tony Cruiz will be
(22:35):
live from the backside if you really want to be
informed of what's going on each day with the ponies
and all of the things that are happening surrounding Churchill Downs.
And again, it's never been more confusing buying tickets for
Churchill Downs on either one of these days. I'm not
sure because you buy a ticket and then you're there's
(22:57):
boundaries you can't get Can you get to the paddic anymore?
And can the grandstand get to the wherever?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I think Tony Cruz and backside is just synonymous with
oh yeah, together together. I mean, he's been doing it
for so long. And let me tell you, Tony's right.
If you want everything you know about Derby, you gotta
know from Tony Cruz and his backside, because he gets
way up in that backside and starts breaking stories.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Okay. So over the weekend, Yeah, okay, there were two
events where over two hundred thousand people stood for hours
waiting for an event, two hundred thousand, two different places,
two hundred thousand in each one of the areas standing
for hours waiting. What were the two events?
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Was one the NFL draft?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Two hundred thousand people are standing?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yes, there was almost two hundred thousand people in Wisconsin
standing behind little fences waiting for thirty two names to
be announced. What's the other one, Johnny, I.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Don't know what the second one is?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You serious?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Should I know? Is it around here?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Uh? It's gotta be the Wookie Fest from the Star
Wars people.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I don't know, the Pope's funeral hap and also the
Vatican of course, you know, two hundred thows very different,
two very different reasons and different crowds.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Different but similar.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Yes. Uh, so the the draft happens? Did you see
the video?
Speaker 4 (24:36):
So?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Uh? Shadure Sanders dion Son doesn't get drafted all weekend?
What then he goes in the fifth round?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
They were talking about him going in the top ten.
So there are two old miss kids college kids? Yeah,
got their phone? One of them is the dad of
the defensive coordinator for Atlanta Falcons. He has Shador's cell
phone number.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
So did you see this the prank call?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Right the he prank calls Schadure during the draft. No,
there's a there's a tie to this, the Louisville tie
to it. So he I saw the video.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
I was like this.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Going no, no, no. So he calls and he says,
he goes, hey, so and so general managers of New
Orleans Saints Shaudur and they go through the whole call,
going with you you want to be a Saint, and
Shoodor is like yes, sir and waiting for the call.
This is gonna be great. We're gonna make the pick,
yata YadA.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
And when the Saints.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Come up, they picked the Louisville quarterbacks, right, Tyler Shuck.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Tyler Shuck.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
So Dion and all of them thought that the Saints
were gonna pick his son. And they're all like, who
is who is Tyler Shuck?
Speaker 4 (25:48):
So the kid came out.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
With a formal apology last night and said, man, because
his dad.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Is now in big, big trouble, I can't believe that
he thought, like the defensive ordinator, how does he's gonna
get away with.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
That, especially being videoed and put online, and I think
the damn thing is millions of views. So yes, So
they prank him. And because that's how it works, GM's
call before the pick to the player on their cell
phone say we're about to pick you. Get ready.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
So here's why I thought the story was going Tony.
I thought you were going to say, hey, they pranked him.
They goofed on him, say you want to be a saint. Yeah,
I want to be a saint. The whole time that
Atlanta was going to draft him, you know, yeah, right,
and it would come full circle because I'm surprised that
they didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Because Dion went to Atlanta first.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, he was in Atlanta. Falcon your braves.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
And falcons, right, Oh that's right.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah. So anyway, I thought I was gonna say well
and then they came back and said, okay, we got you.
But they just pranked him and that's that.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Then he didn't get drafted until the final day of
the NFL Draft. Who drafted him.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
To Cleveland?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
He drafted two quarterbacks. They drafted two quarterbacks, they had
three on the staff.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Well, listen, people put too much emphasis on if they
go early in the draft or late in the draft.
Because let me tell you about a little girl that
got drafted sixteenth in.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
The sixteenth are you okay?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Her name was Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
There is a controversy they are making this a racial issue,
shocking news. Whether this was collusion with the NFL to
keep him down because he's boisterous and who his dad is.
I have no idea about that. But if you're just
a social justice warrior and know nothing about football, you
probably should stay out of it. You shouldn't make videos
to say that's exactly what it is because you have
(27:42):
no idea how football works. And if you're a football guy,
that's fine. If you know how the NFL works and
all that stuff, you should probably throw your hat in
the ring on the opinion. But at this point, his
behavior doesn't look like it helped him. And by the way,
Dion Sanders did this same thing and got drafted high.
You know why because he was Deon Sanders right Rano
(28:04):
four one, two forty and was is Maybe he's on
the list of greatest football players of all time. Door
is not.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Oh he's so so is a kid.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Kid's good?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I mean he's good, but who's his dad's Deon Sanders.
You know you look past stuff when you're Deon Sanders.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Well, imagine living under that shadow.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
If his coach at Colorado is anybody other than his dad.
He's not getting drafted this past weekend.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Oh really, not.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Because he's bad, but because he's not an elite level quarterback.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
That's a lot of people's opinion. That's a lot of
people's opinion. And apparently some other interviews did not go
so well.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
So Deon's kids a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
He's a quarterback. Okay, yeah, so yeah he uh And
apparently some of the interviews did not go well so,
but the the video, these two gullets kids, they are
like heroes on old Missus campus today.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
By the way, right, I would.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Thank yeah, colleague, all right, uh, gonna need both you
guys sit down for a second.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
We're both sitting.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Let's try to be dramatic.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Oh sorry, you make us hold our hats again.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You know what, Let me pass out a couple of hats.
Here's Tony, here's a hat for you. Here. Here take
this hat. Hat. I need you guys to hold onto
this hat.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Caim holding on to the hat.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
The Fire Festival it's canceled. No, no, no, we all
know about the Fire Festival. And by the way, it's
f y r E, not f I r E. You know,
I'm not going to chase that shows. It was postpone
that was back. This postpone is back, on and on
(29:45):
and on. Billy McFarland, he says, Uh, it's finally it's
off Fire Festival too, even though Fire Festival one never happened.
Uh is off. But here's the good news if you're
an entrepreneur out there, The brand and is for sale.
McFarland says he's selling the brand because quite frankly, the
(30:06):
brand has become here's the quote, bigger than any one person,
Bigger than what I'm able to lead on my own.
That's the same Billy McFarland, of course, that had the
idea to relaunch this festival while he was serving his
prison time for ripping people off on the first one.
Who who would want to buy that brand name Fire Festival.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Imagine if somebody like Danny Wimmer decided to change the name.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Though I disagree, no.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
I don't think. I'm not saying he would do it.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I disagree what I disagree, I think that it is
a name that people recognize. Everyone knows what the fry fire,
Fry Festival, fire Festival is.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
I'd rather go to fry Fest.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Do you know how much money it costs to brand
something like that? If you get legitimate artist and legitimate
money behind it. That politicians, look, the Democrats and the Republicans,
if they have an are already reaguanize recognized person, it
saves them millions of dollars to get that name branded.
(31:10):
So they they love getting people that already have a name. Yeah,
But so if you have real artists that Danny Wimmer
could take, could take the fire Festival because it's already branded.
In every news organization in the United States, it's going
to do a story on your music festival.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
You're both idiots, okay. And everybody knows Danny Wimmers. He
knows how to put on festivals, not even just here
in Louilly, is the ones that Columbus, the ones in Florida,
the one out in California and California. He knows how
to put on festivals.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
But here's the thing. There's branding and then there's negative branding.
Fire Festival is is there, It's.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Got a negative brand is their negative press?
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Say what was cancer not available? The CA? I mean
some some things have bad connotations when you say these
words nega reaction.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
They're recognizable with a negative reaction. Every news everybody in
America is going to do a news story on the
fire festival three with Danny Wimmer, a legitimate promoter. Here's
every news organization and it sells out.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Here's here's no bad press. Dog would you do it?
Would where would said hypothetical fire festival take place?
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Though?
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Well part of the country is Danny wimber not conquered yet?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Where was the original one?
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Is that? Well?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
There you go, Danny Wimmer go to work? Is that
supposed to me? Laugh at that? Stupid? Okay? Uh you are.
(33:00):
It's Monday of Dirney. He's just walked in the dark
shades oh, and I went, oh boy, he's standing next.
Here's what here's the here's what you don't want to
see when you walk in the studio.

not just preventive maintenance and maintenance on your vehicle. They

to table.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I don't even remember.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
She wrote they always had these.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
You know, John, I did not know. There's always they
set the bar in nineteen, like seventy six, they had
John Wayne and then it's all downhill from there. And
as John Wayne was at the height of his you know,
I mean he was everyone knew who John Wayne was.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Now they have guy on barstool, episode six, season three
from the Love Boat.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
The person that I put on Facebook needs to be
the Grand Pooh Ball of the festival. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And by the way, you asked, is anybody those names?
Did you get the link from?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I got about a million different people going, I know
who it is. They said it to me, We'll contact me.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
There's a reporter on way three, and he told the
entire story. Yeah, and he talked and the guy talks
about how he did. He shoved up to bowl to
get a better look, so he wanted was a better look.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
His pants started falling down.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
No, and then people started screaming for them for him
to moon moon the crowd. He was talking about, Hey man,
it's hard to moon the crowd while you're hanging on
a flagpost. So somehow he got his pants off. But
he said, then they had all the cops came where
they were taking their billy clubs and hitting that flagpost.
(02:28):
Say get down here, get down here you hippy and
all this other stuff. Oh boy, So he knew he'd
be in for it if he came came down. So
what he did is somehow he jumped from the flagpole
into the crowd, landed on some poor lady on a
lawn chair, flipped her over, took off running, and somehow
made it out so he never got a rest.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I guess we won't have him on a hear now
since you told no, no, I want to hear about it.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
And it's because I didn't know the ending.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
That's pretty crazy that in that cool I'm pretty sure
Dan mitt Our, old traffic guy was one of the
cops seventy four or seventy five.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
You know what we should do? Would we should get
him on the show and get Dan Mitton on the show? Yeah,
Dan Mitton finally arresting him.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, I think that cop is full circle. I think
I think that's a good idea. All right, So, what
what the hell happened at the chow Wagon last night?
I'm not sure. LMPD put up some video of some
ruckus from some rambunctious teenagers. It's a school night, you know, Yeah,
so they were trying to It's always it's always why
(03:35):
they're just rambunc shows out there to have fun in
the show.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Well, I'm sure there's gonna be a little of a
judge sending them to it, sendence them to the I
gave you a three minute.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Time out from the video. I saw there was a
shriff some LMPD folks trying to rest a woman and
everyone was screaming and pushing trying to get the woman
away from the cops. And then someone another team jumped
into the golf cart and took all off with the
l MPD golf cart. So great, great job in seat
(04:05):
wagon last night, everybody.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Ah. So a couple of thoughts.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
By the way, congratulations to whoever in Georgetown, Kentucky walk. Yeah,
they're gonna walk with seventy seven million dollars if they
take cash value.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I think I might be related to them. What's their name?
What's their name? Jeff Schmidten, Jeff, Oh my gosh, I'm
dead serious. I think I am related to it through
the Connecticut witting.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Okay, Well, whoever has done it already has not come forward.
They're smart then, because you don't have to come forward.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Oh wait, so they don't like being contacted by people.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah, then they're definitely yes, that sounds like. So they
matched all five numbers and then the red power ball two,
so they and then they the power play multiplier was
times three x, so it's one hundred sixty seven million.
Their walk cash value is seventy seven million. It was
sold at the Clark's Pump and Shop.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
They're all over the state.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Clark's Pumping Shop in Georgetown, Kentucky, largest powerball jackpots sold
in Kentucky. Ever, like the pump and shop, you know,
uh okay, yeah, the second thing.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You ain't shopping, not just pumping.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
If you notice it, it leaks.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
It looks like that Churchill outs the Saturday before Derby
seems like did you not see everyone was wised up
like it was Churchill downs or like it was Derby
Day and they were out there Saturday.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Well, it was great Gatsby theme was going on Saturday.
It was the first night of the track. My wife
was out there for some event. I said, hey, I'll
give you thirty two dollars eighty three cents if you
don't make me go. That's all I had on me
at the point. And she said yeah, and she said
she took it. I don't want to be seeing with
you anyway, quite frankly, or something along lines that. But uh,
(06:05):
she said it was packed packed and the pictures I saw,
you know, everyone was dressed up.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
And then they did the pill poll instead in the
middle of the week. They did it Saturday night, and
I think this is I think maybe now the Saturday
before Derby opening night might be that.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Well, but think about it. They kept pushing. You know,
Oaks used to be Louisville's day at the Downs, right, Yeah,
Saturday was the celebrities. Friday, the Oaks was Louis's Day.
Then it got pushed to Thursday. Okay, we don't want
you here on Friday, We'll push you on Thursday, and
on and on and on. So maybe little villains just
got pushed all the way up to a week.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
But they looked great and great. Gatsby turned one hundred.
He was written in nineteen so if it was one
hundred years old, written in nineteen twenty.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Five, right, and it was written by Rodney Gatsby, a
guy that used to go to the seal buckle. Yeah,
did you know that's in there?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yeah, no, it's not. They think you want to steal
bag yes, I do, Yes, I do. He was yes,

Fitzgerald because he would so he would take the straw
in his drink to make sure he would count how
many drinks? Yet he would just put the straw in
his pocket of his dress jacket so he could see
it on the outside instead of like the.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Little a minute, don't we even count how many drinks?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
So he would every straw every drink he would put
his saw. Yeah, he ran into people. People know, you've
had eight drinks already.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Like he had the eight straws in his box.

infield that day was future y D training for your teacher.
He was my y D teacher.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
And I have a message for everybody, and I think
we can lament those.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Days Google, we can lament me.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
We can remember those days with fond and longing, but
we have to move on.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Well, here's what I'll tell you. The infield is not
what it used to be. And that's okay because for
whatever reason, when we do our Derby broadcast, they have
me do the infield reports. Now, it used to be
fun because there would be people out there showing breast
and throwing up alcohol.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And Johnny's talking about chicken breast, talking.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
To garbage cans and puking on each other. Share those
the occasional fornication in the mud. Now it's basically like
you know, the third turn legendary party. Crazy, sure, past
three years. I go over third turn, it's this, and
then somebody walk up and go, do you know where
(11:21):
good a low fit Marcaccino out here? Because it's a
bit breezy and I'm starting to feel like a mucaccino.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
That's actual audio that I got back. That is it's
all suits.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
It's very accurate. Okay, it's very accurate. But those days
are gone. They're capitalists. They're going to sell to people
with more money. And yes, the right of passage was
a high school, senior college kids going out there half naked,
half drunk, bringing in their own grills. It was crazy.
And then you looked at the other side and you said, someday,
I hope to be over there with the people in
(11:57):
the suits. And that's how the right of passage went
for Louisvillions. What's not Louisville's day anymore. It's it's it's
the it's the world's race track. It's not it is
not dominated by locals. And then a couple of celebrities.
This is all out of town people on Derby and Oaks.
So those days are gone and they're gonna take their
their capitalists you guys love cap money. Every They're gonna
(12:21):
charge for every square foot what they can.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
We all.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I I remember fondly.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Well, we got to move on and bring back Central
Avenue all right here and break back Ceterrol Avenue is
John Allen Central Avenue, and oh yeah, I just still
had some. Central Avenue was where the party was Derby Eve.
It would run from I don't know about eight or
nine and ninth to night before, all the way through
(12:51):
until they opened up the gates and then debauchery.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
John that Churchill Down's bought all the houses and bulldoze.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
It was no serious, See, they bulldoze them all.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
So there would be there'd be you know the saw horses,
you know the block traffic, the saw horses. They'd be
at the front and at the end of Central Avenue.
And what they would do is just stay by.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
It was it was like police officers.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Hang on. The police officer would stand there and they
would while you walked by. It was a high school
senior and I walked by because somebody said we have
to do Central Avenue and I'm like, what's Central Avenue?
And they're like watch this. We get down there and
there are three cops standing by the little saw horse
and they go, when you go past here, you're on
your own. Yep, you are you There is no there's
(13:37):
no police in here, and you have to take care
of yourself. So good luck. And that's exactly what it
was like. And it's it's hard to explain that the
world it's.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
All you know what it was like. It was like
escape from New York.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It was and there's there's there's a large argument, John,
that the world is a better place without Cincral Avenue
Party couple of nights before Derby.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Dude, Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Saw a lot of things going on in that ivy.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Alrighty, thank you for you should have named the show
Central Avenue.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
John. That's a dollar out of the jar.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
All right, it's not bad. We got so much to
get to, including we should know this guy's name. We'll go,
we'll do the joke of the day, but we'll all
tease this, Well, we should know this guy's name, but
we don't. He invented something that every single person that
you know uses every single day. Think about that, everybody
(14:38):
you know uses one of these every single day and
we don't know his name.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Carlett, do the joke of the day. It's mama joke
Monday too.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oh that's right. You're not gonna do the same joke
as last week like you did a couple of weeks ago,
did you?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
You'll tell me in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Okay, Hey foul, Hey Dwight.

How old is my mama?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Your mama is so old When she walked out of
the museum, the alarm went off. I'm sorry, that's funny
because she's old and everything in there is like Mommy's
an artifact. Then you don't ask mama. She walked out,
and then the alarm goes off because they think she herself?
Is it all? It off? Furniture? Is your furniture old
(15:32):
and decrepit? Or is that artifacts? Is your living room
done in early settlers? Well it doesn't have to be
that way. No, get new furniture. Talk about beautiful, high

We saw a crazy video. Were you on a balcony
or some sort of scaffolding or something?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I mean literally, you were on a scaffolding hanging off
the roof or something.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Lots of tequila on clearly Friday night, but what a
beautiful place to hang off scaffolding.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Man, textit our boss Guss and go. We might need

Speaker 4 (17:17):
No, you're Montgomery Gentry.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Oh sorry, I didn't go.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
My buddy Kelly Jones and his wife went Friday and Saturday.
I said that a little bit too much for us.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
All right, do you want to know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I do?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yes, this device that we all use every single day. Yes,
most people use every day.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Bo, everybody uses this, and I want to know what
it is.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Douglas Engelbart, ingle Bart, Douglas engle.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Bart, reservations for ingle Bart, please.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Douglas engle Bar here, surely could you check the Inglebert
lived up to his name?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Okay, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Douglas Engelbart. He invented something? Okay for xerox?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I just mad?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Did he invent John.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
That we use every day? What's a xerox? That's not
like an idiot right now?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
No, it's a photostatic copy. It's copy machine, zero company,
no zero company xerox. Like before you said make a
copy of this, you know, you say, hey, give me
a coke, No matter what it is. What you want
to call it. Well, they say, hey, give me a coke.
That used to be in the sixties seventies. Hey mak
a xerox of this.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
They were the Kleenex of copy.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Machines IBM, IBM xerox.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Okay, no way ever said make me an hobby.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Douglas Engelbart, Yeah, he invented. People think it was Microsoft,
but it was not. Microsoft either stole it, yeah, or
bought the technology and took claim to it.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Windows the Internet now Al Gore invented the Internet.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
The mouse, the computer mouse. Oh wow, Douglas Inglebart. Shouldn't
we all know Douglas Ingolbart's name. You would think every
person in the world is too, I mean in the known,
the civilized world.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Save it. Now, mouse is mice is the same plural
for a computer mouse? I think, so mice? Well, have
to look that up. Anyway, Your mouse used to have
a ball on it, the roller ball.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yes, that was stupid.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
It was stupid. It was stupid, but you had to
clean them.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
And one of the best things I've ever read was
how to clean your mouse balls.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
So Douglas Ingelbart invented the mouse for either IBM or xerox,
and then Microsoft famous story. They came in and took it,
took the technology four.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
With ninjas, didn't have to buy it from him or any.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I don't know. I don't know what the what the
deal was there. But and then at some point remember
when you didn't have to have the cord anymore?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Not but I said wireless.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I specifically asked, look, do you.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Remember the ones that your hand fit on a gigantic
red ball at the top.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, because I do you know why?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Because it was terrible.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
It was almost cussed.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I know, you just think so bad.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Here's why, almost cussed all of us on the air.
For one hundred point five of the Fox you and
I were doing morning somebody we used this computer. One
person who worked, by the way, worked two hours on
a Sunday. And that's it. That's all the time they
did on air. What two hour shift on Sundays. You're
not in there hours doing mornings. He replaced it because
(20:52):
I like it better.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Do you remember, No, John, you're too young to remember
those the little ball ones? No? No, no, no, I mean
I think you play your hands put your hand on
it and it was a giant red ball. Because you
know why, because it was older than you, bro.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Besides, only a dumb ass would you use one of those?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Okay, Allen Electric sixty three six help is the phone
number if you're looking to get some generators attached to
the house. Generak is the best powers of your entire house.
It took to the natural gas. So the second year
electric goes down. This thing kicks on. No pulling the
little bar like a lawnmower or something, and then going
to get gas all every couple of hours and then
hearing that loud thing on the side of your house. No,
(21:34):
as we're all gone, It just kicks on and your
life goes on as normal, and you'll be the jealous
everyone will be.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Jealous of you.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Walk your neighborhood. The what of the gentsens Chad power
because they called Allen Electric six three six help back
after this on, He's ready to wait forty w a chance.
We are gonna get naked. Flagpole gone on this and
we're going to try to find I think we I'm
friends with the cops that the cops that were banging
(22:06):
on the pole at the bottom waiting for him to
come down, get down here you're doing to hippie.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
They were calling him.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Well, at this point, most police officers in America were
what former Vietnam vets are not former, they're Vietnam Vets
and they come home and they got to deal with
the Zippi. They climb the cup pole, so you know,
they don't have any patience for it. But that's how
it is. It is Derby week, Tony Cruiz will be
(22:35):
live from the backside if you really want to be
informed of what's going on each day with the ponies
and all of the things that are happening surrounding Churchill Downs.
And again, it's never been more confusing buying tickets for
Churchill Downs on either one of these days. I'm not
sure because you buy a ticket and then you're there's
(22:57):
boundaries you can't get Can you get to the paddic anymore?
And can the grandstand get to the wherever?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I think Tony Cruz and backside is just synonymous with
oh yeah, together together. I mean, he's been doing it
for so long. And let me tell you, Tony's right.
If you want everything you know about Derby, you gotta
know from Tony Cruz and his backside, because he gets
way up in that backside and starts breaking stories.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Okay. So over the weekend, Yeah, okay, there were two
events where over two hundred thousand people stood for hours
waiting for an event, two hundred thousand, two different places,
two hundred thousand in each one of the areas standing
for hours waiting. What were the two events?
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Was one the NFL draft?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Two hundred thousand people are standing?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yes, there was almost two hundred thousand people in Wisconsin
standing behind little fences waiting for thirty two names to
be announced. What's the other one, Johnny, I.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Don't know what the second one is?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You serious?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Should I know? Is it around here?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Uh? It's gotta be the Wookie Fest from the Star
Wars people.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I don't know, the Pope's funeral hap and also the
Vatican of course, you know, two hundred thows very different,
two very different reasons and different crowds.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Different but similar.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Yes. Uh, so the the draft happens? Did you see
the video?
Speaker 4 (24:36):
So?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Uh? Shadure Sanders dion Son doesn't get drafted all weekend?
What then he goes in the fifth round?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
They were talking about him going in the top ten.
So there are two old miss kids college kids? Yeah,
got their phone? One of them is the dad of
the defensive coordinator for Atlanta Falcons. He has Shador's cell
phone number.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
So did you see this the prank call?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Right the he prank calls Schadure during the draft. No,
there's a there's a tie to this, the Louisville tie
to it. So he I saw the video.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
I was like this.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Going no, no, no. So he calls and he says,
he goes, hey, so and so general managers of New
Orleans Saints Shaudur and they go through the whole call,
going with you you want to be a Saint, and
Shoodor is like yes, sir and waiting for the call.
This is gonna be great. We're gonna make the pick,
yata YadA.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
And when the Saints.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Come up, they picked the Louisville quarterbacks, right, Tyler Shuck.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Tyler Shuck.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
So Dion and all of them thought that the Saints
were gonna pick his son. And they're all like, who
is who is Tyler Shuck?
Speaker 4 (25:48):
So the kid came out.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
With a formal apology last night and said, man, because
his dad.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Is now in big, big trouble, I can't believe that
he thought, like the defensive ordinator, how does he's gonna
get away with.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
That, especially being videoed and put online, and I think
the damn thing is millions of views. So yes, So
they prank him. And because that's how it works, GM's
call before the pick to the player on their cell
phone say we're about to pick you. Get ready.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
So here's why I thought the story was going Tony.
I thought you were going to say, hey, they pranked him.
They goofed on him, say you want to be a saint. Yeah,
I want to be a saint. The whole time that
Atlanta was going to draft him, you know, yeah, right,
and it would come full circle because I'm surprised that
they didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Because Dion went to Atlanta first.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, he was in Atlanta. Falcon your braves.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
And falcons, right, Oh that's right.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah. So anyway, I thought I was gonna say well
and then they came back and said, okay, we got you.
But they just pranked him and that's that.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Then he didn't get drafted until the final day of
the NFL Draft. Who drafted him.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
To Cleveland?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
He drafted two quarterbacks. They drafted two quarterbacks, they had
three on the staff.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Well, listen, people put too much emphasis on if they
go early in the draft or late in the draft.
Because let me tell you about a little girl that
got drafted sixteenth in.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
The sixteenth are you okay?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Her name was Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
There is a controversy they are making this a racial issue,
shocking news. Whether this was collusion with the NFL to
keep him down because he's boisterous and who his dad is.
I have no idea about that. But if you're just
a social justice warrior and know nothing about football, you
probably should stay out of it. You shouldn't make videos
to say that's exactly what it is because you have
(27:42):
no idea how football works. And if you're a football guy,
that's fine. If you know how the NFL works and
all that stuff, you should probably throw your hat in
the ring on the opinion. But at this point, his
behavior doesn't look like it helped him. And by the way,
Dion Sanders did this same thing and got drafted high.
You know why because he was Deon Sanders right Rano
(28:04):
four one, two forty and was is Maybe he's on
the list of greatest football players of all time. Door
is not.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Oh he's so so is a kid.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Kid's good?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I mean he's good, but who's his dad's Deon Sanders.
You know you look past stuff when you're Deon Sanders.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Well, imagine living under that shadow.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
If his coach at Colorado is anybody other than his dad.
He's not getting drafted this past weekend.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Oh really, not.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Because he's bad, but because he's not an elite level quarterback.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
That's a lot of people's opinion. That's a lot of
people's opinion. And apparently some other interviews did not go
so well.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
So Deon's kids a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
He's a quarterback. Okay, yeah, so yeah he uh And
apparently some of the interviews did not go well so,
but the the video, these two gullets kids, they are
like heroes on old Missus campus today.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
By the way, right, I would.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Thank yeah, colleague, all right, uh, gonna need both you
guys sit down for a second.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
We're both sitting.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Let's try to be dramatic.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Oh sorry, you make us hold our hats again.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You know what, Let me pass out a couple of hats.
Here's Tony, here's a hat for you. Here. Here take
this hat. Hat. I need you guys to hold onto
this hat.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Caim holding on to the hat.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
The Fire Festival it's canceled. No, no, no, we all
know about the Fire Festival. And by the way, it's
f y r E, not f I r E. You know,
I'm not going to chase that shows. It was postpone
that was back. This postpone is back, on and on
(29:45):
and on. Billy McFarland, he says, Uh, it's finally it's
off Fire Festival too, even though Fire Festival one never happened.
Uh is off. But here's the good news if you're
an entrepreneur out there, The brand and is for sale.
McFarland says he's selling the brand because quite frankly, the
(30:06):
brand has become here's the quote, bigger than any one person,
Bigger than what I'm able to lead on my own.
That's the same Billy McFarland, of course, that had the
idea to relaunch this festival while he was serving his
prison time for ripping people off on the first one.
Who who would want to buy that brand name Fire Festival.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Imagine if somebody like Danny Wimmer decided to change the name.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Though I disagree, no.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
I don't think. I'm not saying he would do it.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I disagree what I disagree, I think that it is
a name that people recognize. Everyone knows what the fry fire,
Fry Festival, fire Festival is.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
I'd rather go to fry Fest.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Do you know how much money it costs to brand
something like that? If you get legitimate artist and legitimate
money behind it. That politicians, look, the Democrats and the Republicans,
if they have an are already reaguanize recognized person, it
saves them millions of dollars to get that name branded.
(31:10):
So they they love getting people that already have a name. Yeah,
But so if you have real artists that Danny Wimmer
could take, could take the fire Festival because it's already branded.
In every news organization in the United States, it's going
to do a story on your music festival.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
You're both idiots, okay. And everybody knows Danny Wimmers. He
knows how to put on festivals, not even just here
in Louilly, is the ones that Columbus, the ones in Florida,
the one out in California and California. He knows how
to put on festivals.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
But here's the thing. There's branding and then there's negative branding.
Fire Festival is is there, It's.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Got a negative brand is their negative press?
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Say what was cancer not available? The CA? I mean
some some things have bad connotations when you say these
words nega reaction.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
They're recognizable with a negative reaction. Every news everybody in
America is going to do a news story on the
fire festival three with Danny Wimmer, a legitimate promoter. Here's
every news organization and it sells out.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Here's here's no bad press. Dog would you do it?
Would where would said hypothetical fire festival take place?
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Though?
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Well part of the country is Danny wimber not conquered yet?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Where was the original one?
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Is that? Well?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
There you go, Danny Wimmer go to work? Is that
supposed to me? Laugh at that? Stupid? Okay? Uh you are.
(33:00):
It's Monday of Dirney. He's just walked in the dark
shades oh, and I went, oh boy, he's standing next.
Here's what here's the here's what you don't want to
see when you walk in the studio.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Right.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I sneak back and I'm doing a little whistling, right
because it's Monday every week. Let's get going. And I
know and I turned the corner. He's got sunglasses, dark ones,
leaning against the coffee machine with a cup of coffee
and I went.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Oh boy, he's got the Merby blues boy.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Oh boy, yea, Tony's breaking alignment.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Oh yeah, baby, Tony's breaking alignment. Listen, how about a
place that you can trust when it comes to maintenance
to prevent a maintenance on your vehicle, Folks, that's hard,
it's fine, and it's it's got uh. People have been
getting ripped off. It's story as old as time. You know,
I have to worry about that when you go Tony's breaking.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
