Speaker 1 (00:00):
This was like whenever Anthony p tn counsel, When Anthony
p does the show, him and Venetti always got to
go outside, get a trash barrow, light on fire. And
then they started this business. And is your mama's pretty.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Good telling it is? And I have to be the soprano.
I have to be the that's the bartone or the baritonesitone.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Happy birthday to Billy Joel. Take a guess as age.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Billy Joel is eighty one.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
John seventy nine, seventy six, seventy six years old. One
of the coolest stories about Billy Joe for me is
what he was playing here. He got here a couple
of days early.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
By the way, the mayor is gonna be on any
minute now.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
We're docking him for every minute he's late.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
He said eleven ten.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
I don't care, we're dockinging. You got to center President.
So one of the coolest things Billy Joe's stories I've
remember is he played Louisville, Kentucky. I'm standing at the
sealbot but he gets here like a couple of days early.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I know this story. Where's two parts before phones?

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Number one? He but yeah, before phones. But he also
traveled with his Harley Davidson. So one day just it
spends the day just cruising Kentucky and Louisville, and it.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Was Harley Davison. Yeah, that's not the cool part of
the story.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Here's the cool part of the story. Shows up at
the bar at the Seal Box and this is the
night before the show. It sits down the piano and
the people who were just there. It's Billy Joe playing
the piano and this goes on for hours.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, no, no, correct. He sat down that there is a
it's called a piano bar. It's up front on Muhammad
Ali Boulevard, right, it's as old as the as the
Darn Hotel, which is over one hundred years old. And
he sits down and plays till four a m. He
closes the bar down, playing for a group of twenty

(01:56):
or thirty people, and then plays the concert the next night.
And I think at the Louisville Gardens or Freedom Hall,
freedom all. But that was before phones. So Billy Joe's
a penished he is, but I can't imagine having that
sort of experience. And I wonder how much you know,
as you know, some of us are all alcoholics, waking

(02:17):
up in the morning and going and then you were
you start I have to do now, I have to
do the actual show now.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
But thing about you know, because we here's the way
we participated in these activities, John Alden. We would go
out and stay till four in the morning whatever, but
we always answered the bell. We would always make it
the work we or we stayed up right sleeve, but
we always went there. So usually it sucked. It always sucked.

(02:45):
But if you were there till four o'clock in the morning,
you got to think that would give you energy thinking,
oh my gosh, I was in there with Billy Joel
and he was chance of a lifetime.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Mother's Day is obviously Sunday. Don't know what you guys
are getting your your mother? You do, Dwight, you said
it's a winner. I'm going to fail miserably and whatever.
I'm not going to get her a fish tank again,
but or you know, I'm not going to get her
a vacuum cleaner. Uh, I've done that.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Get her a what's it called a he aquarium, herb aquarium,
herbaquarium or land animals, Yes, for like snakes and lizards
and whatnot. You know, Yeah, and you just put a
hot rock in there and go bomb.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
I swear everything I bought her. I even bought her
of those little decorative things you put to the end
of your glasses and it hangs around your neck. I
thought it was one of those willy nilly stores on
Frankfurt Avenue. It was a hippie place, and I thought
it would be cool, and I gave it to her,
and she looked at me yet again on Mother's Day
and said, you're an idiot.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Right, Well, I mean she's got a point there, man,
I'm scoring big on the Oh look we got uh people.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
We have a giant window. We wave to people again.
If you haven't heard, the naturalization office is next to
ours to you. So the people that are about to
become citizens ca wripe by our window. It's really cool
to watch. And when they come back, they're just.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
When they come back over the moon after they sworn in.
I always like, yell, I am come back.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
To your own country this. And the sad thing is
they all could answer more questions in America than all
three of us combined. So here's the survey. And new
survey finds nearly a quarter of Americans admit they don't
call their mom enough.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I don't call my mother enough, but I'm gonna I'm
gonna correct that. I text my mom and I tell
her I love her every time we sign off, but
I've got to start doing more in person. I had
a conversation with you. I'm getting ready to restructure my wife.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yes, boys are easier to raise, but what do they
always say, like a mom will tell you boys leave
and they sort of they don't call enough. I told John,
I said, I'm just gonna call you every once in
a while. Ago call your mother, right seventy eight say
the opposit said they can't go a week without talking

(05:02):
to her. So some people do actually call her mom.
It depends on how old mom gets right, all right,
because simple conversations get a little complicated.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
I should I.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Should probably call my mom more than I do. I
fit into the stereotypical boat of like, you know, she'll
reach out to me before I reach out to her,
and she can definitely hold a good conversation, but I
just have to take the time to do that sort
of thing.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Maybe I'm being egotistical. Maybe my mother doesn't want to
hear from me, and that's like the greatest thing on earth.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
When my dad was alive, he never cared that I called.
If I called, ego, what's wrong?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
I wonder if she does the like the eye roll
like my mom's very it's the opposite.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
If he calls her, the mom is the one rolling
her eyes going she turns the phone over and my
mom's wife this or not?

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Like just say, my mom's out of derby, dinner, playhouse,
hooting and hollering, do whatever shit, And she does both.
She's a hooter and a holler.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
That's whatever.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
So But say I called, does my mom pick up
the phone, look at it and roll it, just puts
it back down? Would you if you were.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
My mom, I would never swipe and talk to you.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
I wouldn't either just text right.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Uh. But then again, there's a lot of reasons for moms,
Like sometimes moms are political. I just want to talk politics.
I'm out. I will say this though, or I set
the phone down and just let it.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
I do text my mom just about every day, you know,
and she texts me, but it's not the same. I
need to start going to seeing her more often. I
need to start to.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
See my mother's not a text her boy. My mom problem.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
My mom's is about she's more a technical.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Does she send the emojis? Is she an emoji person?

Speaker 1 (06:44):
But she'll like, she'll send emojis that don't make sense.
Like I'll say, hey, Mom, a great scene you blah
blah blah, sure do love you, blink and then my
phone go blink, love you too.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Sound effects are real and then blink.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Here comes another. It's like a cat on roller skates.
It's a pumpkin plank, a pair of dies like none
of them makes.

And thanks for the reminder.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, thank you. I was gonna say, Kevin's doing that
before we do anything.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
I want to ask you, Tony, and I might have
some fish letter. You wouldn't have a tardy sauce on you.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Three minutes and fifty two seconds.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
I'm sorry. I just came from Joe.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
And that's the lead story. I was. I was wondering
why my phone kept going bing bing bing bing bing
this morning, and my tennis buddies were losing their minds. Uh,
they're a little upset about the situation. So tell us
what happened between and because we did obviously see the
press conference. What happened between two weeks ago and today, we.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Were there was a proposal from a nonprofit group to
propose a world class tennis and pick a ball facility
at the site in Joe crease In Park where we
used to have national tennis tournaments. The legends like Jimmy
Connors and Arthur ash Rod Labor played there, and so
we thought that idea had merit, and as part of
the process, I insisted on having community engagement, and over

(09:17):
the past couple of weeks, both at a community meeting
on Tuesday night as well as feedback before and after,
it was clear that there was huge support for more
tennis and pickleball facilities in our community.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Clearly there's huge support for more world.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
Class athletic affilities, facilities, soccer, lacrosse, they're full of hockey
building right, baseball, softball, all of those. But it was
also clear, and I'd loudly heard that the neighbors around
this community and around this park did not want this
project in this location. And so I made the decision,
let's move let's move forward, Let's find another location, more
suitable location for a world class tennis and pick a

(09:52):
ball facility. Let's continue to invest in our parks. We've
been doing that at an unprecedented historic level, making historic
investment in our parks all around the city. And let's
let's move forward.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Where's George Bush.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
Yes, mister President, you're flippy and you're floppy.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
You're a flip flopper. Well and your wish you and
your wishy wash.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
No, mister President, I think that when you're doing projects
like this here, engagement is important.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
We need to can I government gets it right this time,
because we need more of this. Like, for example, let
me just throw it out there the real ID.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
They would.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Just start say, you know what, we're not doing that.
Here's what happened with this project. People came out and
they said, well not heresay, and government listened. If you
look at me, if you ask me. Don't look at me,
but if you ask me, this is the way government
should work, city, state, and federal level. Hey, this is

(10:52):
a bad idea something, and then you change it. I agree.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
The process worked here, and I'm proud of that. I'm
proud that I insisted on community engagement, and I am
proud that we listened to the community. We learned a
lot for this project, and for others moving forward, we'll
move forward differently as we move.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
I want to from my seat, I'm sorry. It seemed
like a perfect location. The zoo is there.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
I thought it was a good location earlier. That's why
we began the process. Others had good reasons for thinking
it not. And you know, the one thing I want
to make sure, I want to make sure we continue
to support big ideas being proposed. Our community needs big ideas,
and so we're going to continue to consider big ideas.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Well.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Let me ask you this. Greg Galli at Lutle of Bats.
He's yesterday, Yes, okay, and we're talking about how there's
gonna be condom Minion right by.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
It's going to be transformative. It is.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
And we talked about how there's Lynn Family Stadium all this,
and all of a sudden he used the term, well
sports district. Is there any track of land around Slugger Field?
And it's leading into where where could go there? That
maybe the city always you know.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
I would love to find a downtown for this. You
need flat lands, so the soccer stadiums probably maybe a
little bit tough, but you know, I'd love to do
it downtown. But there are also other great locations elsewhere
in the city. And so we're going to consider other
proposals that other folks have.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
And who's the who's the investor builder? Is he? You know?

Speaker 4 (12:17):
This was this was a nonprofit group that came to
us that had a consortium of people that were behind it.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Oh used that word again.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Okay, but my question is wow, right job took that
in consideration? Obviously did he? Was he willing to say, hey, look,
he could have said it's this location or we're out.
But it doesn't sound like he said no. They said that.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Last night when we notified them that it was not
going to happen at this location. They said they were
interested in looking at other opportunities. I've also learned one
of the other things that during this process, I learned
that there's another group that's looking at doing something similar
in another location in Louisville. So like, we don't need
competing facilities. Yeah, we'll we'll get this right and there
will be a world class tennis and pick a ball

(12:57):
facility somewhere in Louisville. And we'll continue making investments in
our park. We'll continue listening to good ideas, and I'll
continue to stay focused on community.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Were out of room at the Fair and expos Center.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
You know that was raised and that's a great idea.
I don't think it's in their master plan, but I'm right. No, No,
Rachel is here too.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Hi, Rachel Brough. Alright, thank you for coming.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
In man than get Yeah, here you go. You're talking
there you are, Rachel.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Hi, Rachel missed all the talk about the amazing Mother's
Day we're going to have together celebrating what an amazing
mother you are.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
I picked your gift out for you. She'll enjoy that.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
He's he made all that up. He just was reminded
him Sunday his Mother's Day. But yes, but it's a
look I agree. Look, anytime you build any sports facility,
it's full. It's full booked twenty four hours a day.
So we got to build as much as you want
on that. And then the location no fair grounds if
you if you say fair rounds, I'm gonna put you
in the face. I mean, I really do, are you crazy?

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Community and gay? Right here, we're listening to Tony Okay
you want okay, you want another slot, go ahead, Southland Terrace. No,
how about this? The Humanity Buildings it's floor like one
floor's tennis, one floors pickle.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
There you go on and on you go. You're you're
killing two birds of one stone.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Here's another thing. You want it inside? That way, the
public doesn't have to hear the right.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
But we uh.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Do you what's your pickle? Do you make a pickle
ball noise?

Speaker 5 (14:36):
Or is that don't make a noise?

Speaker 1 (14:37):
You gotta get you any good?

Speaker 5 (14:39):
I'm okay, yeah, do you to J?

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Do you play it the J?

Speaker 1 (14:43):
No?

Speaker 6 (14:45):
I haven't played in a while, but when we play
on better than Craigs.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Like big accomplished, Like that's some big accomplished.

Speaker 5 (14:54):
I will tell you something.

Speaker 6 (14:55):
I beat the uh detail that Craig has the police?

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Wow, wait man, do you beat them or as one
of those dudes like god, it's the mayor's wife.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
You know.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
I believe that that bats facility will be transformative. The
slugger field. When Abramson decided to put it there, that
changed all of downtown forever. You don't have the museums,
you don't have Forestry Live, you don't have any of that.
You don't have the Young Center, all that stuff without
Slugger Field. So then I think when they build this
thing and they connect all that together. And then now
that they're working with the soccer guys, which is unheard of.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Totally agree.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
And some of those diamond baseball holding guys were our
guests for Derby, and we got to talk about these
amazing plans that they have and what could come next
once they do this investment.

Speaker 6 (15:47):
And I will toot his horn because they were saying
starting with Louisville, they own forty three other minor baseball
teams and they chose Louisville because of this mayor.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
That's huge. All Right, Mother's Day is and we got
some other topics. We're gonna go along on this one.
So tell me about your mom.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
You know, this is uh my second Mother's Day without
my mom. My mom passed. Let go just.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Sing he's a big boy.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
My mom passed just over two years ago. So it's
a it's a bittersweet day for all of us in
our household. But I had an amazing mom. She was
a wonderful influence in my life. She was a great
mother in law, a great grandmother and miss her dearly.
But love to support Rachel, my sister, who's a great mom,
her mom who's a great mom. And so we've got

(16:35):
lots to celebrate this Sunday.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Who was harder on you? Your mom or your dad? Who
was your driving? Who is your driving for? Who was
your biggest critic or support? Like you know, moms tend
to be people discissid.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
I definitely wanted to please them both. Let's see what
psychologist Rachel I would say.

Speaker 5 (16:54):
No, your mother was your biggest supporter.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
That's true.

Speaker 5 (16:57):
She was an amazing supporter, right she She.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
Was very as evidence by the personalized Greenberg for Mayor
T shirt she would make for herself that say I'm
Craig's mom.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
No, I don't have to tell her you can't wear that.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
You need a mom to say you can do anything.
And I think that she was that mom.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
And you want to hear an absolute true story about
my mom and Pelick. Okay, So, Tony, I are doing
a gig at Shady Ray's and so a listener, Ethan
Almighty and Jeff were there. So they leave. One of
our listeners walks up with my mom and Jeff and
Ethan there. Okay, and they say she walks up to Ethan.

(17:39):
She goes, hey, Ethan Almighty. Yeah, I'm Susan Tyler Whitten's
mother in law. Does it say that she's my mom?
Doesn't say, hey, d White's mom, it's our gig. By
the way, it's our gig. Okay, we're broadcasting live. She
walks up, Hey Ethan Almighty. Yeah, I'm a Susan Tyler
Whitten law. And they said, you mean Dwhite's mother, And they.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Go, yeah, I got to say, I gotta the sam
you know, I got the same mom and go, what
are you an idiot? What are you doing? Okay, So
Derby Man Thunder really really hurt some businesses. Yeah, we
got to be able to get over that. But is
I didn't realize that event and how much money it's

(18:25):
the biggest chunk. It's one hundred and twenty something million
dollars in business.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
It's a huge event for local businesses. Obviously, all the
downtown businesses, hotels and restaurants, local vendors that come sell
things to the hundreds of thousands of people that come.
I've been really encouraging people when you're making choices about
going out to dinner, going to stores, please shop local,
spend some money with the local businesses here. Uh, Derby
is great. Thunder is a great day, and I'm so

(18:49):
excited for next year's Already.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
We've talked about downtown, but let's talk about River Road
to baby. Get out there. Support these River Road businesses. Man.
They you see the Ringer Captain's Quarter is open. You
got River House Cunningham.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
Yeah, we went after my budget speech. Our team just
wanted to get together after you know, working for a
week straight on getting the budget proposal to present a
Metro Council. We were all getting together just for a
fun evening to eat dinner together, and so we went
to a restaurant on River Road for that exact reason,
to support those businesses. Water Company is making good progress
on their work. I'm hopeful by the end of this

(19:26):
month River Road will be opened all the way to
blanken Baker. That will be helpful. The key is to
get open all the way to Wolfpen so that that
corridor can really reopen and relieve some of the congestion
that it's caught costs.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
The water toower to the tennis courts of the water tower.
Got two big fields there. You know what's going on,
probably wet about a month ago.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Okay, what about the where Danny whom we used to
be that location.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
Champions Park. There's we need to make some improvements at
Champions Park, and so we're going to start some community
engagement about the future of that whole area and the
VA Hospital or right up the hill that's gonna be
moving in a couple of years.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
So well, they're gonna keep that, They're gonna they're gonna still.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
Have all unclear no, no, no, it's unclear what happens there.
So I really want to make sure that the city
has a big say, if not control, about what happens
about the future of the v A property. Maybe maybe
put the tennis courts in the l v A hospital there.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
You go, Well, the new one is uh not small.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Small.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
I want to take care of my veterans. But we
just watched that thing go up and like, oh my lord,
it's got the water tower.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
You know, and there's some new construction and connection with that.
The state is getting ready to do some new construction
around the waters and right there they have long term
alleviate some of that pressure.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
It's insane and so we need.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
To make sure this river road work gets done so
it's not all happening at the same time.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
You are in the Ballard Hall of fame, right, No, I.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
Did get the Ballard Alumni of the Year award, turning.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
My back on Yeah, we're in.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
We're both. I was most likely Rachel and I are
not sure whoa whoa. You were voted most likely to succeed.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
My wife was voted most likely to conceive. But you know,
high school was different back then.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Uh, there were some I will say, some negative press
on the Derby with some idiots on we we jinxed it.
We had LMPD on Friday morning and I said, you
know Broadway has been quiet, yeah, the last couple of years,
and sure enough that night that all that trouble.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
You know, Tony, I really want to thank LMPD.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
These guys are out there working three hundred and sixty
five days a year, twenty four hours a day. We're
going to keep all of us safe. And then over Derby,
you know, Thunder and the Derby Festival, they're working overtime.
We mandate that they work on certain days, including Oaks
and Derby days. Every person who's part of l MPD
A is working where that tragedy happened. There were officers

(22:03):
standing feet away.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
I've seen the.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
Body cam footage myself and you know, we we were there,
we were clearing out that location. And next year, I
don't think we'll let that happen. In the past years,
it's been peaceful. We haven't had situations. Uh, the owner
of that property said it was okay to happen next year.
I don't think we will. But there were police officers
standing right there.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
And no change is shut down Broadway on Friday night,
I mean shut down.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
The road, but I'm talking about hanging out and move along.
But I will tell you this, LBD, they do a
bang up job every single year and they're worn out,
completely exhausted because of the long hours. These men and
women were the storm and then this this derby. They
finally get through eight o'clock in the morning, semi goes off.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
The British Yeah, thank god for the Louis of Fire Department.
I mean, they have tested their repelling skills twice too
many times in the past year here, but we saw
them in action once again. We've been in touch with
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet because you know, three accidents happened in
about a forty eight hour period right in that same area.
The one that you saw with the rescue was the worst.
So we're talking to them about some other improved.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Just put those annoying like you know, the blinking license they're.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Walking on, some changing signings that hopefully can help with
that area. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
We talked to the nine one one dispatcher yesterday or
two days ago, and I said, look, I have enough
hard time my wife and IK communicate. We're on the phone.
What are we doing, We're picking up who whatever? And
so I thought, she's in there. He's in a cab
like he's trying to explain the situation he's in, but
your brain is disconnecting because you're gonna die. And how

(23:37):
it took her a minute to figure out this guy's
hanging over the side. And it really was a much
more dangerous I thought, than the than the other one,
because this one, from what I understand, was just you know.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
One other thing I want to say is that we
often praise our firefighters, our police officers, who deserve every
ounce of it. Those nine to one one call operators. Absolutely,
they do such a great job. You heard it right there.
I know from firsthand experience when I had the unfortunate
assassination attempt on me and I was the one who
called nine one one laying on the ground.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Oh you called on that day. I did wow.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
And their response and their ability to get information while
keeping my colleagues in calm and reassured was incredible and
really I think helped all of us with our long
term Same with after that, same with Old NASS, same
with Old National. They do a tremendous So I just

(24:34):
want to give a shout out to all of our
nine moments.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Oh and by the way, the operator I asked for
us said, uh, when you get done with a call
like this, it's got to drain you. Imagine you got
to take off. You're gone for the rest of sue. No, no, no,
it's five more minutes on back to the phones. It's
a it's a unique individual. Okay, they do great.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Let's give you credit fifty million dollars in surplus. They
we had Pagentini on and he was giving you a
lot of credit for vestments that went well. But Dwight
and I always asked, do we don't have to spend
the savings? Do we? We're putting some of it away.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
And I make a suggestion before you answer, please do
take the sharp plus and you put it on red
over it yes, we're on the seasons. We got one
right here. You got a fifty to fifty chance. Just
an idea, but go ahead.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Community engagement right there there you go.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Listen to all ideas.

Speaker 2 (25:30):

a beautiful thing. And then.

Speaker 2 (26:15):

worried about. You got anything in the hopper, and you're
gonna handle this tennis thing. You're gonna find a spot.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
Yeah for this, we're gonna find lots of new opportunities
for world class athletic facilities around the city, and there's
lots going on downtown. In my budget proposal, we've got
money to do to help attract more retail and restaurants
in the South end of our city.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
That's where I was going to say thank you, because
I know exactly what you've been doing in the South End.
And we've attended a couple of events out there together too,
by the way, one of being uh Airquois Amphitheater. A
lot of good stuff finally going on in the South End.
And when I ran in O eight not for Maryburg
council seat, it's because I was tired of the South
End money leaving the South End.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
It's coming back now, it is, and we need more
restaurants and retail and that's what this new fund is
going to do. I've already been talking to several council
people from the South End and they've got lots of ideas.
I've talked to some restaurant groups that are interested.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
This is going to really help uh And you do
you sell your wrestling thing O VW? Is that done
for you? Are you out of wrestling business?

still own a small minority interest in it, but in
terms of day to day interest, I'm out of that.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
It was like a boat. I can just watch as
a fan. The wrestling day was like a boat. There's
two good days of a boat. The day you buy it,
the bay zell it. So I'm well said, well said,
But you know, it's been fun.

and I'm excited about their future, just uh not with
me involved.
