That is a song that I wrote for J. D. Shelburn.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
That's not true.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
And he said, oh my gosh, can I buy that
from you? I say, yeah, you can barely spell this, this,
and that.
Speaker 3 (00:12):

Shellburber and I remembering that story wrong?
Speaker 4 (00:14):

Speaker 2 (00:15):

I got so many stories like that. I can't recall
all the time.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
So wife, Happy Father's dad Day.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
J D.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Shelber.
Speaker 6 (00:31):
Hey, and let me let me expand on that for
one one thing. By the way, Uh, we'll talk about
what's going on. You have something cool coming out. But
one of the coolest father moments I've ever seen is J. D.
Shelburn was opening up for zz Top the Roquois Amphitheater.
It ends up being the last performance with the original
(00:52):
zz Top. But one of the things he did at
the end is he put on some headphones on. His
child must have been I mean a few months.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I don't know what it was.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
You'll tell the story. How old was he and you
held it? You walked him out and you held him out.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
That was so cool. How old was your child?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Then?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
He was just barely over a year. And uh, my
wife and son came up from Nashville, and you know,
of course the ez Top show that was a that
was a big That was a big show for us,
probably the biggest show of my career thus far, you know,
you know, with with Steve passing about three days later.
But uh, I had to get Jack's involved in that
for pictures, just so one day I could tell him,
(01:30):
you know, he was this was ez Top and just
it was a cool moment. I just thought that kind
of last minute that worked out. Well.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Please tell me that you have a picture of that somehow,
a good picture in the house, because I tried taking
pictures when you held him up and you know it
was a camera phone. But do you have a decent
picture of that, because that's that would be something really
cool for him.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I do have a picture at home in my studio
of him with his headphones on and stuff. I do
have a photo a fan actually I had taken didn't
turn out quite like I wanted, but a but a
random fan photo someone sent me was better than what
I had taken. I had it framed. It was a
cool moment. And to see how much he's grown since
that moment, it's just it's just mind boggling.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, And they become teenagers and they're like, I think
my dad plays music or something. Uh. The guitar kids
are like, I think he's on he does a radio attle.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
What do you want for Father's Day?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
JD?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Schoburn.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Uh, you know what, that's a good question. Probably like
a nice steak or something. It's not a Hamburger hot
dog of work.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Peace and quiet, brother and quiet.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Hey, right right, hey, let's talk about something you're gonna
be uh signing bottles tomorrow. We're talking liquor Barn in Middletown.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Clicker bar, Middletown.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
All right, liquor bar in Middletown, Commons. What's going on
with this? Explain what's going on?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
JD.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
This is a an amazing business venture for me. You know,
I've been in music a long time, out doing my thing,
and I had a very nice lady approached me a
few months ago with Elsion brand. Tracy Jacobs reached out
to me and said, we'd like for you to be
our brand ambassador. Now, keep in mind, I'm done for
bourbon companies all across the state many years. No one
(03:20):
has ever asked me to be an ambassador for their Bourbon,
and so this was a moment like wow, okay, me
let me look into this. So I ended up being
agreeing to be their ambassador, just promoting the brand. They're
in about four hundred stores in Kentucky right now and
I'm having a blast. Well, we sat around the table
about three months ago and they said they brought an
idea to the table, said, hey, we want to start
(03:40):
our first signature series, Bourbon one hundred and one Small Bats.
We want you to be on the label. We want
to do something special for your career, honoring your music.
And I was just like had coach shows, I'm like
I'm ready. And so we ended up we had a
team do a barrel select and create our own mash,
build and taste tested it about a month ago and
(04:02):
we had it bottom of Barstown Bourbon Company yesterday at
seven thirty am. And we'll be at Liquor Barn tomorrow
and Middletown at two telling the bottles to bury first time.
So it's it's been a moment.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I believe that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Well, as a Kentucky boy, I mean, the bourbon industry
is a billion dollar industry and it's got to feel
like Wow, I'm kind of I'm really part of that
which has got to make you feel good.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah, I grew up in the Bourbon, you know, within
the Bourbon Triple Taylersville and Bartown area, and so you know,
when this idea came to me, it was a no
brand for me. You know, I've never been on the
Bourbon side of publicity, so this is kind of a
whole new avenue for me. But I've really enjoyed with
teaming with my music. So many people through the years,
like you guys that have supported me since day one
(04:49):
that I can make a phone call to say, hey,
love to come on your show. And so I've been
able to really stain great relationships from my music that's
helped me with building this Bourbon brand. So it's been great.
I've been told his the label is very historic, you know,
getting getting approved because if you look at the on
the on the bottle, it's I'm holding guitar, playing a
guitar near in a concert. And it took a little
(05:09):
bit to get that approved and they approved it, and
so Tracy and Scott over an inclusion brand. But you
don't realize how how big this moment is for you
to to approve this label to uh, the labeling system.
We're pumping yep.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
J D.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Shelburn, here's a question for you. Look, this is a
it's a crazy industry that you're in and and radio wise,
I've done three different formats rock, sports and what I'm
doing now, So you adjust. You know, Taylor Swift went
from uh, you know, country music to what the biggest
pop star in the world, and you have to make adjustments. Look,
you are your biggest advocate and you are the you know,
(05:46):
there's there's got to be a switch in your head
when you've got to take another avenue or not. You're
doing fantastic with this is there? Do you sit at
home and think where you know where? What are you
gonna do the next six months? What are you gonna
do the next you know, two years? And where the
music goes? Like, have you ever played with the music
as is? You know, I'm gonna put a little bit
more of rock riff in this. I mean, how do
(06:08):
you handle that? As navigating the river of success and
music wise, where you go?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
You definitely got to stay on top of your game
and kind of look months in advance. You know, you
just can't book shows two and three days for the week,
and you know you have to book this stuff all summer.
I'm looking at fall right now, right, Wow, summer's about
to start, and I've got an album coming out this
a new album coming out this summer, will be my
Sieven's record. So I'm always ahead of the game. You can.
You can't get lazy in the music business. People will
(06:37):
forget about you. You've got to keep people interested in
your music, keep putting new stuff out. So you know,
I transitioned from cover band years ago to original and
I think transitioning from cover to original band really grow
my business. I've been able to stay this for a
living for fifteen years, and so just creating your own
brand and be your own artists that was not trying
(06:57):
to me someone else has really helped me propel to
I'm at now. And with this Bourbon coming in, it's
just another way for me to branch out and and
make a living. I'm just grateful that opportunities always come
in because of my music.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
First exactly. Yeah, you're you're your best advocate, You're probably
your biggest critic. But yeah, well I guarantee it. No
No was super successful. People like you have done. And look,
that's a brave thing to do that when you go
to UH from covers to original man, because a lot
of people that can't pull that off. Man, and and
you haven't a big time, big time.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I think I think it's incredible.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Just the story starts out a man, his guitar and
Baronel's pizza downtown.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
No you know, oh you know that was his first game.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Look in the hair, it looks and the hair, the
good hair. The hair is you know, the signature hair
is fantastic. Every time I see him, I'm like that
damn hair.
Speaker 1 (07:53):

anytime now. Carriage Ford Carriageforard dot com. Folks, the a
plan is in play right now. You pay with the

Carriageford dot com. Or go to Lewis and Clark Parkway
this weekend. It's rain. It's gonna rain a lot this weekend.
(10:49):
It's a great day to go to the car lot.
Look at some cars. Carriageforard dot com. Back after this
on news radio eight forty Whchands News Radio A forty
whas the whole Greenberg family just walked by the window
here we broadcast live in our studios on the second
level of four Street Live and they come from that
(11:12):
direction because that's where the Mayor's office is. So he
comes by by and they're going to be in here.
It's Father's Day. So he brought both his sons and
I sent I got some questions for him for Father's
Day that they're going to answer about their dad while
he's sitting in here. So that will be a lot
of fun. So that's going to happen here in about
five to ten minutes, So please keep around for that.
(11:33):
There is a report it if you live in near
Goss Avenue. The Kroger there in Germantown has some trouble.
I love Kroger. It's a great company and that's where
I do my grocery shopping mostly if it's not lots
of Posta. But they reported a rodent infestation and it
prompted a Health Department investigation of the Louisville Kroger store
(11:55):
on Goss Avenue. So just heads up with that. The
Health Department ordered the store to close the affected areas
that they have, and they'll try to get rid of them.
There's nothing worse than that, because once it happens, it
just keeps getting bigger and bigger. They probably need to
shut that down for until they get rid of all
of them. That's the obvious, right, Okay, So I want
to talk about Elin and Eland. Look, if you're selling
(12:17):
your home, one percent commission rate just makes sense. So
do the commission rate with one percent you keep the
equity in your home. If you go to edland dot com,
they have a sliding scale on the main page, so
buyer and seller is on either side, and you move
it to the price of the house and it tells
you the exact number that you are going to keep,
give or take a dollar or two. All right, so
(12:38):
go with elin and Eland five nine nine twenty eight hundred.
That's the owner. You'll call them and say, you're going
to sell my house for one percent? Darn tootin you
are one percent commission rates with elin and Edland five
nine nine twenty eight hundred or edlan dot com. We're
going to take a short break. We'll come back with
the mayor and his family. We'll talk about these protests
that are going to happen this weekend and the plan
for that and move forward with that, and of course
(13:01):
Father's Day we'll talk about that. News Radio eight forty
w a chance all right, one of our favorite segments
we do all month long. We're bringing the mayor Craig,
how are you, sir?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I am doing very well, very well. Go cards tonight,
know no cards.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It's this feels different because we're not supposed to be there.
They earned it.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
They earned it great coach Dan McDonald and his team. Awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Okay, that's enough. Mister maryor hey Mayo, Rachel Greenberg, how
are you?
Speaker 7 (13:27):
I'm good?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Goodness?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
See, it happens every time This happens every time. Boys.
You watch your sons here because it's Father's Day and
I want to give them a little quiz on Father's
Day about you, and you have to sit in the room.
Will you hear these answers? Okay, but first, let's start
with the weekend.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Let's go ahead and start with the weekend. I am
on the record to say I am a supporter of
Mayor Greenberg. You've done a lot for LMPD. You've done
a lot and are doing things, and you have in
You're open, you had the scope and discussions with me
about my beloved South End, and you're investing in the
South End and I love that. But I got to
(14:04):
tell you, on the heels of a protest tomorrow, the
city's nervous because what we went through in twenty twenty
was ridiculous. We had a totally different mayor who, in
my opinion, had hatred towards police and he celebrated lawless criminals,
and look what it's done in our city twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I wouldn't have taken your job for a million dollars.
Let me just say that, following that buffoon, and I
wouldn't take your job for a million dollars. But you're
making headway, are you?
Speaker 6 (14:33):
One of my biggest complaints and one of the things
I love about you so far is you support our
police and you listen to and you listen to him.
What can we expect? Are you gonna let police police?
And I know it's not just that easy because we
also have people out there that are dying for conflict.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
What can we expect or can you even give us
a game plan at this point?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Well, we are planned for tomorrow. We are expecting a
lot of people to be downtown tomorrow expressing their First
Amendment right to protest whatever they want to protest. And
the Chief and I and our teams are very prepared
for tomorrow, and our focus is on everything happening safe
and legally, and that is our focus. We've been in
touch with the governor all week long as well. There
(15:19):
are sixteen of these protests planned around the state, and
so we've been coordinating with him in Kentucky State Police
and their team. We had a meeting yesterday in the
Emergency Operations Center that the Chief led just with all
sorts of different agencies at the state, local, and federal
level to be prepared to remind everybody, but that is
our focus. We want people to be able to express
their First Amendment right, that's what public space is for.
(15:42):
But at the same time, we need to protect property
and we need to protect people. And if there are
individuals in that crowd that are looking to cause damage
to property or to hurt people, we are prepared. We
will protect people in property in downtown Louisville, and Chief
Humphrey and I are working very closely together on that.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I don't think there's yes, very good answer they there's no.
And here's the difference. People have PTSD about twenty twenty. Look, man,
there's no appetite for it right today. But I don't
think these are the same groups. Okay, and I think
Monday Night Sanders yesterday told us about Monday Night how
and I like this, Okay, you have your right to protest,
(16:22):
do your thing. They showed up at a location, they walked,
they kept things moving, and then they all went home.
That's what we want.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
On Saturday, considered Monday Night of success, huge success night.
People have to say what they wanted to say. Yeah,
nobody was in no property was damaged, and we kept
moving forward.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Who gets to quarterback. This weekend is going to be
chief hump for you think or I'm sure a little.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Bit of both.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Oh, we'll both be in very close touch. We'll both
be together in the Emergency Operationals Center in case anything
is needed. But again, we're not expecting anything. There's no
reason to believe that there will be issues beyond just
protesting and people expressing their their views of whatever their
issues are. And so that that's the hope that we'll
be prepared.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
We don't want to make it bigger than we don't
want to, cause that's.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
About the great things going on downtown. There's a great
Filipino celebration going on in four Street.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, yeah, there's our festival going on right car.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
We want people to enjoy this weekend, whether they're here
in Louisville enjoying or whether they're going to see Trinity
and p r P at the high school. People to
enjoy this weekend.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Buried the headline Dougie Fresh is playing.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
SKYK.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
I don't know to Wednesday, Dougie f r E s
h about the same age.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I don't know. I don't know how you choose to
what you go to every weekend. Because there's a million
things every single.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
So my wife and you and different other dignitaries. I
was not invited for some reason. We're at Louisville Gardens
where you all the general assembly, green Bird and we're
breathing life in this with an exciting project. But my
wife said she made a post because you all were
down at the Louis Guarden so many great The first
(18:03):
question I said, is what's the statue limitations?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
For your wife?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
No for me, So the first thing I said is
I wonder, I wonder if my name is still carved
in the seat or throwing them?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Did you carve it in the seats? Judas Priest Okay
was not there.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
So she takes a post about the gardens and she goes, hey,
what was your favorite concert? This thing takes off so
many memories about Louis Guardens. What's your favorite concert at
Louisville Gardens. Beastie Boys, that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Three Jewish guys from New York people, three little drunk
Jewish guys. That's right, that's right, all right. So but
you listen. The great thing about America is people can
say things that you hate on the other side, and
you just have to listen, right, So I will ask
(18:55):
you this, Uh. I was not happy with one of
their chants that they were very consistent with Monday Night,
which was from the River to the Sea. And I
need to ask you, as a Jewish person what you
felt about that? As the mayor and in a person.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
I think that's an incredibly anti Semitic slogan. They are
calling for the destruction of the state of Israel and Jews,
and I think that is incredibly inappropriate, destructive, and counterproductive
and it is offensive to me and every Jewish person
in America and around the world.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Amen. Amen, How many people do you think in that
crowd even understand what that statement is? They all should know, Yeah,
they should know. They should know, and you should be educated.
So what I will say is, if you're going to
that protest tomorrow, please don't engage in that chant. I
think that is I really got me going, and I
had to turn off the news because that was just
a consistent chance as it walked down. But that was
(19:52):
a good answer. All right, let's go, trust me. We
would rather, I know, Rachel, how are you?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Let's talk to the important green bird?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
All right? Father's Day is Sunday, talk about Craig and
how what kind of dad is he?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Does he ever lose his cool?
Speaker 7 (20:14):
That's a question for the boys.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
We're going to get the boys here in a second,
but I want her to answer. I've just noticed. Uh,
never mind, go Rachel.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
You know, Craig is a dad.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
He's a good dad. He's a very he's an engaged dad.
He's a loving father. He is a very good dad.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Let me ask the kids. Does he ever lose it
on you? Hang on?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Share that mic if you uh, I can't imagine.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
We need to give them diplomatic community.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, diplomatic community.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Whatever you say on this show, he cannot use against
Does he ever has he lost?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
First? Please?
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Oh, mime's Benjamin. I'm the younger of the sibling. Though
some people said I look the older in the past,
I feel like he might have been a little more
wound up with time. With time, he's for sure calm
down and for sure very level headed, very may or
(21:12):
a like.
Speaker 9 (21:14):
I'll introduce myself as well. My name is Daniel Greenberg.
I'm the older and more attractive that for.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
My mom, and I will say my.
Speaker 10 (21:24):
Dad is a pretty level headed guy.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
Excuse me, assuming that he has his diet coke if
not in the South, but as long as you got
the die coke.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Things are going well with the Greenberg.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
I can ask you a serious question. I don't want
to reopen sores, but it's part of it. Man, when
he's running for mayor and there's and it's listen, a
lot of things are said when people run for office.
I've got to go through this with my wife. Some
of the things they say about my wife, who I
love dearly. How do you take that? Do you learn
to just let it roll off your back? Because they're Yeah.
Speaker 9 (21:56):
I think the best way I've learned is through watching
my dad react all of that. I think he's an
incredibly resilient person, and especially what happened after the shooting,
watching him keep going throughout his mayoral campaign like that,
to me made me even more resolved to help him
get re elected and make an impact.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Wow, just stay off of Twitter, I always tell mom.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Amen. All right, I've got some questions. We'll start with
a fun one here. What is one sport that you
would not invite your dad to play on the team with?
Speaker 10 (22:37):
I would say most contact sports.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
How about basketball? Is he any good at basketball?
Speaker 9 (22:45):
You think I've heard some stories of dad being pretty
good back in the day at the JCC Rec League.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
That's a very competitive league. It is a very competitive league.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
I saw a lot of time in the fourth quarter
of those games.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
What kind of board games do you all play together?
And is he is he very competitive at that?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I would say Daniel would always Daniel would always make
us play Monopoly as kids. Sometimes we all get a
little too competitive. I would say we're all pretty evenly matched.
I wouldn't say maybe Daniel gets the edge on a
couple ones, because he's much more level headed than I
am sometimes.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
But yeah, where is your dad's favorite place to go?
Like if you said day we can get on a
plane right now and go, or you caveat to what
is his favorite room in the house and you can't
answer bathroom?
Speaker 9 (23:40):
Well, I think the favorite room in the house is
probably the easy one. It's it's where the treadmill is.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Oh are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
So kind of a lunatic.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah, that's a great answer.
Speaker 9 (23:49):
Every morning, he's got a great setup, got the treadmill,
the TV and can just unplug and watch some Netflix
while he runs.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Does he do you have a favorite place to go
or you want them to answer. What if you said,
we can get on a play right now and go somewhere?
Where would he? Where would you all go?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Why?
Speaker 10 (24:02):
It's it how we're flying? Are you taking a private jet?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
That was the answer.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
That was the last.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
But honestly, I anytime we get off with family and
we go to we travel, particularly now in this job
and with the boys at college, that is just my
favorite time I'll get being together, the four of us.
And we don't do that as much as we used
to for a lot of reasons, but we try to
find that at least once a year.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
For Chepook a politician answer, if you ask.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Me and tell me a saying that he has well
growing up, what was the saying that dad had for you?
Speaker 5 (24:36):
I would say it's a little bit of a saying
and emotion. He always does the little bit of a
fist thing. And yes, Daniel O'Brien, the WWE wrestler, the
fingers of he sort of augmented that the little I'd say,
that's his go to in the house and also on
the campaign trail.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
That is hilarious. Eastre. You are honest about who you
are at home and in public. That is very good way,
all right? What is it?
Speaker 3 (25:10):
You know?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Is there any bad habits or things that you've got
from your dad that your dad has either apologized to
you and said, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry you got that
from me.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
So you Rachel's type jeans? That's well?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
How do you How does your mom handle all three
of y'all? I mean it's the boys and in her patience? Yeah,
patience is a good answer, all right, Zipper.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
It's definitely Rachel's dog though, So River gives Rachel all
the love twenty four to seven even when there's a
little bit of maybe tension in the Greenberg house.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
I'm kidding, who bugs you the most? H you're all
way at college? Who is the one that kind of
lets you guide yourself away? And who's calling you about
your grades and everything else?
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (26:01):
Is this a question for us not for you? I
don't think this, would you know?
Speaker 9 (26:06):
I would say I probably am in communication more with
my mom. I mean, my dad's got a pretty busy
day job.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah he does, he does, he does. All right, So
you pretty much gave me this answer. I'm looking at
from you what is and you can answer again if
you like. What is it that makes you so proud
of your dad, I.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Would say, coming out of COVID in twenty one C
after helping co found it, he could have really done
whatever he wanted, sold it very successful, COVID, didn't want
to work there anymore, and he chose to really run
for Marivas City, follow his dream that he's always wanting
to do, which I really admire. I mean, he could
(26:45):
be making millions, honestly at any job he wanted, start
making new startup, and he chose to help his city
and prioritize that, which I really admire.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Nice.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
And I've got two things to add, Yes, yes, there
are two things. And I've thought about this a lot,
and it's it's work ethic and brevity. Starting with work ethic,
my dad is someone that like I rarely see him
wake up past six or seven a m.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
Max.
Speaker 9 (27:09):
And he's running every morning on the treadmill and it
doesn't matter if like whatever happened in the city last night.
He's up, he is moving his body and he is
working till he goes to sleep. I admire that and
to me, like when I wake up, like I can't
make any excuses to not do the same. And it
really motivates me, and it should motivate everyone else too.
And second with brevity, I think he is someone I
(27:31):
really look up to because politicians can be so wordy,
and the way he expresses a message in such few
words possible.
Speaker 10 (27:40):
I really look up to it.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
Wow, impressive boys here, these kids, they're handsome, they're.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
It's crazy. I will send you that clip and then
you can put it in when you're on the treadmill.
And if you're having a bad.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Day, definitely will. You've got a great No.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
They need the clip so the next time they step
in it trouble, they just out of the lake.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Dad.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I did have this question, and I left this one out.
Is there anything that you want to tell your dad
that you did that you have never shared with him?
You got community, it's something you want to say I
did this when you don't know what?
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yeah, I plead the fifth I'm not good at really
keeping personal secrets anyways, comes out by accident, same with me.
Speaker 10 (28:36):
I don't have anything interesting.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Good for you, man, great job. A couple of successful
boys here.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
You know, Rachel Greenberg and I were in the same
uh political spouse support group. Yeah, so we don't how
old is does it get I mean the guys everywhere,
because I got to go a lot of places with
my wife Susan, and it gets ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
How many avsts do you like going or do.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
You feel obligated because it's got to the point where
it's just saying, you know what, you get a pass
on this one.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
I now I will say I choose where I want
to go. Okay, more, but I like going. Yeah, well
it depends, but.
Speaker 10 (29:13):
I normally like going.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
I always meet someone interesting, Like I'm really excited you're
talking about baseball. I'm really excited for PRP because I've
gone to PRP a few times. I've met the coach,
his daughter's and her y'all program. I love Joey Dudek, Like,
I feel like you then become invested, so I like going.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I'm more of a fan of stay at home and
watching murder.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
She wrote reruns. But that's just me, Louisvillions are are
pretty fair. I think I think that if you're doing
a good job, and even if you step in a
little bit, I think they're all Loivillions are pretty fair.
Would you agree with that? When if you see them out,
you don't get you get a lot of support, I think.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I think so that's been my observation. My observation is
that Louisvillions have a lot more in common than they
do a part. Whether you live in the East and
the world west, in the South end, everybody wants the
city to be safer. Everybody wants their kids to have
great public education. Everybody wants more good paying jobs. People
love parks and libraries. You know, the news might cover
(30:13):
the areas of tension, or that might be the area
of focus that divides us, but when you actually talk
to people, most people have the exact same goals and
if you disagree a little bit how to get there,
who cares. I wish more people could focus on that
because Louisville's an amazing place. You know, eighty ninety neighborhoods.
We all sort of want the same.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
Things, and they all want to be seen and heard.
Yet I think so and seeing them is But.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I think turning the corner on being proud you're from Louisville, right, Okay, we.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Took a tremendous pride.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
We took a hit. We took a hit, and I
think once we get outside of our bubble and the
rest of the country what they think of us, Because
if you travel, you'll you'll hear it. The boys are
at Brown Is that right? Look the second that they
hear they're from Kentucky, you're already being judged for where
you where you are. And Louisville's taking a hit since
(31:03):
twenty twenty, and I think we need to get that
we're proud to be for.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
That's what I'm trying to get back into our city spirit.
Because what's amazing in this job we meet a lot
of people that come into Louisville that are looking to
make investments here, that are travelers to hear here for
a conference. When people come to Louisville, they fall in
love with this place. They are blown away. And I
wish everyone in Louisville understood how unique, special, authentic, strong
(31:27):
of a city that we have to have that sense
of pride that you're talking about, Tony, And that's one
of the things that I'm trying to convey and talk
to about and build our city's pride back up. It's important.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
I will also say people are nicer in Kentucky. I
grew up in Rhode Island and people are just nicer.
Not on Twitter through the same on Twitter anywhere. But
when you meet people, even when my parents come in,
they're like, is that real? Everyone's smiling, and I was like, yes,
they mean it when they say how are you and
want to share.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
There was an article written about somebody that was there
was a retired couple and they were going to move
somewhere and they moved to Louisville, and they said one
of the things they tested was they pulled to a
red light or they were in a red light, and
they waited to turn green, and then they would wait
to see how long it took for someone to get
a horn. And and in Louisville it took the longest
time for somebody. Dude, come on, they weren't they were,
(32:18):
but that was a little I guess the test there
that they did it did us good.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
West.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
I sincerely want to say that I've wanted to speak
with you on several matters in the South End and
you've always taken the meeting and and you're supporting the
South End. You're doing good things. For that, I say
thank you. My second concern just being out was l
m p D. When you got elected, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Know what to expect so far, you've supported.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Them, and for that, I say thank you, because that
was my main concern is the south end of Louisville,
and you're working hard to do some things out there
that I know about exciting stuff. I have some exciting
stuff coming. For that, I say thank you sincerely and
for supporting.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
You're about to get a call. Uh semi catches fire
and falls off by sixty five overpasts you already on
top of that as soon.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Yeah, so I got news of that right before we
went on. My understanding is that the driver got out.
That's good, and so as of right when I started
this interview, there were no known injuries yet, but of
course we're looking into that. My guess is traffic is
way backed up on sixty five South.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
What is going on a picture? This is the third
or fourth.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
So on that note, Tony. We after it was a
few a month or so ago where there were two
or three accidents. It was just a little bit north
of that, but the same general area. I spoke with
the State Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary Jim Gray about that.
That's KYTC, so it's at State Highway. They were actively
looking at that. We were looking for some improved signings
(33:44):
and stuff. Clearly we have to continue looking at that
together because you know, we wanted to be safe. But here, Dwight,
I'll show you that picture right.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Yeah, Look, everybody avoid Void Spaghetti junction right now and
anywhere near that, because that is right inunderneath that. I
assume I'm trying to get a picture where this is
the semi is on fire and then falls off the
I sixty five overpass in downtown Louisville. Avoid that area
if you can at all costs. It's all shut down,
(34:14):
and from this picture the semi is still. Yes, it's
on fire, and again it fell off the overpass onto
the road below. So avoid that area again. I don't
know what we can do besides putting signs and lights
that blink like crazy, right, I don't know. I guess
that would help us.
Speaker 6 (34:32):
I would be a more fan of the people that
spin the sign. Hey, watch out, like in front of
a pizza joint.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
So scary turn coming up?
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yeah, well it is bad, so slow down. We are
sponsored by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety. Thank you, guys,
great job. You should be proud.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Thank you boys. Mom and I love you. I'm proud
to be Mayor, but I'm even more proud to be
your father, and I love it every day.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Back after this on News Radiation News RADIOA forty wh
jans Okay,
That is a song that I wrote for J. D. Shelburn.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
That's not true.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
And he said, oh my gosh, can I buy that
from you? I say, yeah, you can barely spell this, this,
and that.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
J D.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Shellburber and I remembering that story wrong?
Speaker 4 (00:14):
I might be.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I got so many stories like that. I can't recall
all the time.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Your actually, your wife wrote it about me.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
So wife, Happy Father's dad Day.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
J D.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Shelber.
Speaker 6 (00:31):
Hey, and let me let me expand on that for
one one thing. By the way, Uh, we'll talk about
what's going on. You have something cool coming out. But
one of the coolest father moments I've ever seen is J. D.
Shelburn was opening up for zz Top the Roquois Amphitheater.
It ends up being the last performance with the original
(00:52):
zz Top. But one of the things he did at
the end is he put on some headphones on. His
child must have been I mean a few months.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I don't know what it was.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
You'll tell the story. How old was he and you
held it? You walked him out and you held him out.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
That was so cool. How old was your child?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Then?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
He was just barely over a year. And uh, my
wife and son came up from Nashville, and you know,
of course the ez Top show that was a that
was a big That was a big show for us,
probably the biggest show of my career thus far, you know,
you know, with with Steve passing about three days later.
But uh, I had to get Jack's involved in that
for pictures, just so one day I could tell him,
(01:30):
you know, he was this was ez Top and just
it was a cool moment. I just thought that kind
of last minute that worked out. Well.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Please tell me that you have a picture of that somehow,
a good picture in the house, because I tried taking
pictures when you held him up and you know it
was a camera phone. But do you have a decent
picture of that, because that's that would be something really
cool for him.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I do have a picture at home in my studio
of him with his headphones on and stuff. I do
have a photo a fan actually I had taken didn't
turn out quite like I wanted, but a but a
random fan photo someone sent me was better than what
I had taken. I had it framed. It was a
cool moment. And to see how much he's grown since
that moment, it's just it's just mind boggling.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, And they become teenagers and they're like, I think
my dad plays music or something. Uh. The guitar kids
are like, I think he's on he does a radio attle.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
What do you want for Father's Day?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
JD?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Schoburn.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Uh, you know what, that's a good question. Probably like
a nice steak or something. It's not a Hamburger hot
dog of work.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Peace and quiet, brother and quiet.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Hey, right right, hey, let's talk about something you're gonna
be uh signing bottles tomorrow. We're talking liquor Barn in Middletown.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Clicker bar, Middletown.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
All right, liquor bar in Middletown, Commons. What's going on
with this? Explain what's going on?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
JD.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
This is a an amazing business venture for me. You know,
I've been in music a long time, out doing my thing,
and I had a very nice lady approached me a
few months ago with Elsion brand. Tracy Jacobs reached out
to me and said, we'd like for you to be
our brand ambassador. Now, keep in mind, I'm done for
bourbon companies all across the state many years. No one
(03:20):
has ever asked me to be an ambassador for their Bourbon,
and so this was a moment like wow, okay, me
let me look into this. So I ended up being
agreeing to be their ambassador, just promoting the brand. They're
in about four hundred stores in Kentucky right now and
I'm having a blast. Well, we sat around the table
about three months ago and they said they brought an
idea to the table, said, hey, we want to start
(03:40):
our first signature series, Bourbon one hundred and one Small Bats.
We want you to be on the label. We want
to do something special for your career, honoring your music.
And I was just like had coach shows, I'm like
I'm ready. And so we ended up we had a
team do a barrel select and create our own mash,
build and taste tested it about a month ago and
(04:02):
we had it bottom of Barstown Bourbon Company yesterday at
seven thirty am. And we'll be at Liquor Barn tomorrow
and Middletown at two telling the bottles to bury first time.
So it's it's been a moment.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I believe that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Well, as a Kentucky boy, I mean, the bourbon industry
is a billion dollar industry and it's got to feel
like Wow, I'm kind of I'm really part of that
which has got to make you feel good.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah, I grew up in the Bourbon, you know, within
the Bourbon Triple Taylersville and Bartown area, and so you know,
when this idea came to me, it was a no
brand for me. You know, I've never been on the
Bourbon side of publicity, so this is kind of a
whole new avenue for me. But I've really enjoyed with
teaming with my music. So many people through the years,
like you guys that have supported me since day one
(04:49):
that I can make a phone call to say, hey,
love to come on your show. And so I've been
able to really stain great relationships from my music that's
helped me with building this Bourbon brand. So it's been great.
I've been told his the label is very historic, you know,
getting getting approved because if you look at the on
the on the bottle, it's I'm holding guitar, playing a
guitar near in a concert. And it took a little
(05:09):
bit to get that approved and they approved it, and
so Tracy and Scott over an inclusion brand. But you
don't realize how how big this moment is for you
to to approve this label to uh, the labeling system.
We're pumping yep.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
J D.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Shelburn, here's a question for you. Look, this is a
it's a crazy industry that you're in and and radio wise,
I've done three different formats rock, sports and what I'm
doing now, So you adjust. You know, Taylor Swift went
from uh, you know, country music to what the biggest
pop star in the world, and you have to make adjustments. Look,
you are your biggest advocate and you are the you know,
(05:46):
there's there's got to be a switch in your head
when you've got to take another avenue or not. You're
doing fantastic with this is there? Do you sit at
home and think where you know where? What are you
gonna do the next six months? What are you gonna
do the next you know, two years? And where the
music goes? Like, have you ever played with the music
as is? You know, I'm gonna put a little bit
more of rock riff in this. I mean, how do
(06:08):
you handle that? As navigating the river of success and
music wise, where you go?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
You definitely got to stay on top of your game
and kind of look months in advance. You know, you
just can't book shows two and three days for the week,
and you know you have to book this stuff all summer.
I'm looking at fall right now, right, Wow, summer's about
to start, and I've got an album coming out this
a new album coming out this summer, will be my
Sieven's record. So I'm always ahead of the game. You can.
You can't get lazy in the music business. People will
(06:37):
forget about you. You've got to keep people interested in
your music, keep putting new stuff out. So you know,
I transitioned from cover band years ago to original and
I think transitioning from cover to original band really grow
my business. I've been able to stay this for a
living for fifteen years, and so just creating your own
brand and be your own artists that was not trying
(06:57):
to me someone else has really helped me propel to
I'm at now. And with this Bourbon coming in, it's
just another way for me to branch out and and
make a living. I'm just grateful that opportunities always come
in because of my music.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
First exactly. Yeah, you're you're your best advocate, You're probably
your biggest critic. But yeah, well I guarantee it. No
No was super successful. People like you have done. And look,
that's a brave thing to do that when you go
to UH from covers to original man, because a lot
of people that can't pull that off. Man, and and
you haven't a big time, big time.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I think I think it's incredible.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Just the story starts out a man, his guitar and
Baronel's pizza downtown.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
No you know, oh you know that was his first game.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Look in the hair, it looks and the hair, the
good hair. The hair is you know, the signature hair
is fantastic. Every time I see him, I'm like that
damn hair.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I never liked where it was a group picture.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I always make sure I'm far away from looking.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
All right.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Let me put this real quick. When we hit We're
gonna hit the whiskey again. I'm writing a song. I'm

anytime now. Carriage Ford Carriageforard dot com. Folks, the a
plan is in play right now. You pay with the
Ford employees. That's no joke. They get a real discount
on the new cars and trucks. No joke, no joke.
Carriageford dot com. Or go to Lewis and Clark Parkway
this weekend. It's rain. It's gonna rain a lot this weekend.
(10:49):
It's a great day to go to the car lot.
Look at some cars. Carriageforard dot com. Back after this
on news radio eight forty Whchands News Radio A forty
whas the whole Greenberg family just walked by the window
here we broadcast live in our studios on the second
level of four Street Live and they come from that
(11:12):
direction because that's where the Mayor's office is. So he
comes by by and they're going to be in here.
It's Father's Day. So he brought both his sons and
I sent I got some questions for him for Father's
Day that they're going to answer about their dad while
he's sitting in here. So that will be a lot
of fun. So that's going to happen here in about
five to ten minutes, So please keep around for that.
(11:33):
There is a report it if you live in near
Goss Avenue. The Kroger there in Germantown has some trouble.
I love Kroger. It's a great company and that's where
I do my grocery shopping mostly if it's not lots
of Posta. But they reported a rodent infestation and it
prompted a Health Department investigation of the Louisville Kroger store
(11:55):
on Goss Avenue. So just heads up with that. The
Health Department ordered the store to close the affected areas
that they have, and they'll try to get rid of them.
There's nothing worse than that, because once it happens, it
just keeps getting bigger and bigger. They probably need to
shut that down for until they get rid of all
of them. That's the obvious, right, Okay, So I want
to talk about Elin and Eland. Look, if you're selling
(12:17):
your home, one percent commission rate just makes sense. So
do the commission rate with one percent you keep the
equity in your home. If you go to edland dot com,
they have a sliding scale on the main page, so
buyer and seller is on either side, and you move
it to the price of the house and it tells
you the exact number that you are going to keep,
give or take a dollar or two. All right, so
(12:38):
go with elin and Eland five nine nine twenty eight hundred.
That's the owner. You'll call them and say, you're going
to sell my house for one percent? Darn tootin you
are one percent commission rates with elin and Edland five
nine nine twenty eight hundred or edlan dot com. We're
going to take a short break. We'll come back with
the mayor and his family. We'll talk about these protests
that are going to happen this weekend and the plan
for that and move forward with that, and of course
(13:01):
Father's Day we'll talk about that. News Radio eight forty
w a chance all right, one of our favorite segments
we do all month long. We're bringing the mayor Craig,
how are you, sir?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I am doing very well, very well. Go cards tonight,
know no cards.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It's this feels different because we're not supposed to be there.
They earned it.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
They earned it great coach Dan McDonald and his team. Awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Okay, that's enough. Mister maryor hey Mayo, Rachel Greenberg, how
are you?
Speaker 7 (13:27):
I'm good?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Goodness?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
See, it happens every time This happens every time. Boys.
You watch your sons here because it's Father's Day and
I want to give them a little quiz on Father's
Day about you, and you have to sit in the room.
Will you hear these answers? Okay, but first, let's start
with the weekend.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Let's go ahead and start with the weekend. I am
on the record to say I am a supporter of
Mayor Greenberg. You've done a lot for LMPD. You've done
a lot and are doing things, and you have in
You're open, you had the scope and discussions with me
about my beloved South End, and you're investing in the
South End and I love that. But I got to
(14:04):
tell you, on the heels of a protest tomorrow, the
city's nervous because what we went through in twenty twenty
was ridiculous. We had a totally different mayor who, in
my opinion, had hatred towards police and he celebrated lawless criminals,
and look what it's done in our city twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I wouldn't have taken your job for a million dollars.
Let me just say that, following that buffoon, and I
wouldn't take your job for a million dollars. But you're
making headway, are you?
Speaker 6 (14:33):
One of my biggest complaints and one of the things
I love about you so far is you support our
police and you listen to and you listen to him.
What can we expect? Are you gonna let police police?
And I know it's not just that easy because we
also have people out there that are dying for conflict.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
What can we expect or can you even give us
a game plan at this point?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Well, we are planned for tomorrow. We are expecting a
lot of people to be downtown tomorrow expressing their First
Amendment right to protest whatever they want to protest. And
the Chief and I and our teams are very prepared
for tomorrow, and our focus is on everything happening safe
and legally, and that is our focus. We've been in
touch with the governor all week long as well. There
(15:19):
are sixteen of these protests planned around the state, and
so we've been coordinating with him in Kentucky State Police
and their team. We had a meeting yesterday in the
Emergency Operations Center that the Chief led just with all
sorts of different agencies at the state, local, and federal
level to be prepared to remind everybody, but that is
our focus. We want people to be able to express
their First Amendment right, that's what public space is for.
(15:42):
But at the same time, we need to protect property
and we need to protect people. And if there are
individuals in that crowd that are looking to cause damage
to property or to hurt people, we are prepared. We
will protect people in property in downtown Louisville, and Chief
Humphrey and I are working very closely together on that.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I don't think there's yes, very good answer they there's no.
And here's the difference. People have PTSD about twenty twenty. Look, man,
there's no appetite for it right today. But I don't
think these are the same groups. Okay, and I think
Monday Night Sanders yesterday told us about Monday Night how
and I like this, Okay, you have your right to protest,
(16:22):
do your thing. They showed up at a location, they walked,
they kept things moving, and then they all went home.
That's what we want.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
On Saturday, considered Monday Night of success, huge success night.
People have to say what they wanted to say. Yeah,
nobody was in no property was damaged, and we kept
moving forward.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Who gets to quarterback. This weekend is going to be
chief hump for you think or I'm sure a little.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Bit of both.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Oh, we'll both be in very close touch. We'll both
be together in the Emergency Operationals Center in case anything
is needed. But again, we're not expecting anything. There's no
reason to believe that there will be issues beyond just
protesting and people expressing their their views of whatever their
issues are. And so that that's the hope that we'll
be prepared.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
We don't want to make it bigger than we don't
want to, cause that's.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
About the great things going on downtown. There's a great
Filipino celebration going on in four Street.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, yeah, there's our festival going on right car.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
We want people to enjoy this weekend, whether they're here
in Louisville enjoying or whether they're going to see Trinity
and p r P at the high school. People to
enjoy this weekend.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Buried the headline Dougie Fresh is playing.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
SKYK.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
I don't know to Wednesday, Dougie f r E s
h about the same age.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I don't know. I don't know how you choose to
what you go to every weekend. Because there's a million
things every single.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
So my wife and you and different other dignitaries. I
was not invited for some reason. We're at Louisville Gardens
where you all the general assembly, green Bird and we're
breathing life in this with an exciting project. But my
wife said she made a post because you all were
down at the Louis Guarden so many great The first
(18:03):
question I said, is what's the statue limitations?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
For your wife?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
No for me, So the first thing I said is
I wonder, I wonder if my name is still carved
in the seat or throwing them?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Did you carve it in the seats? Judas Priest Okay
was not there.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
So she takes a post about the gardens and she goes, hey,
what was your favorite concert? This thing takes off so
many memories about Louis Guardens. What's your favorite concert at
Louisville Gardens. Beastie Boys, that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Three Jewish guys from New York people, three little drunk
Jewish guys. That's right, that's right, all right. So but
you listen. The great thing about America is people can
say things that you hate on the other side, and
you just have to listen, right, So I will ask
(18:55):
you this, Uh. I was not happy with one of
their chants that they were very consistent with Monday Night,
which was from the River to the Sea. And I
need to ask you, as a Jewish person what you
felt about that? As the mayor and in a person.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
I think that's an incredibly anti Semitic slogan. They are
calling for the destruction of the state of Israel and Jews,
and I think that is incredibly inappropriate, destructive, and counterproductive
and it is offensive to me and every Jewish person
in America and around the world.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Amen. Amen, How many people do you think in that
crowd even understand what that statement is? They all should know, Yeah,
they should know. They should know, and you should be educated.
So what I will say is, if you're going to
that protest tomorrow, please don't engage in that chant. I
think that is I really got me going, and I
had to turn off the news because that was just
a consistent chance as it walked down. But that was
(19:52):
a good answer. All right, let's go, trust me. We
would rather, I know, Rachel, how are you?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Let's talk to the important green bird?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
All right? Father's Day is Sunday, talk about Craig and
how what kind of dad is he?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Does he ever lose his cool?
Speaker 7 (20:14):
That's a question for the boys.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
We're going to get the boys here in a second,
but I want her to answer. I've just noticed. Uh,
never mind, go Rachel.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
You know, Craig is a dad.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
He's a good dad. He's a very he's an engaged dad.
He's a loving father. He is a very good dad.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Let me ask the kids. Does he ever lose it
on you? Hang on?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Share that mic if you uh, I can't imagine.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
We need to give them diplomatic community.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, diplomatic community.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Whatever you say on this show, he cannot use against
Does he ever has he lost?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
First? Please?
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Oh, mime's Benjamin. I'm the younger of the sibling. Though
some people said I look the older in the past,
I feel like he might have been a little more
wound up with time. With time, he's for sure calm
down and for sure very level headed, very may or
(21:12):
a like.
Speaker 9 (21:14):
I'll introduce myself as well. My name is Daniel Greenberg.
I'm the older and more attractive that for.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
My mom, and I will say my.
Speaker 10 (21:24):
Dad is a pretty level headed guy.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
Excuse me, assuming that he has his diet coke if
not in the South, but as long as you got
the die coke.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Things are going well with the Greenberg.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
I can ask you a serious question. I don't want
to reopen sores, but it's part of it. Man, when
he's running for mayor and there's and it's listen, a
lot of things are said when people run for office.
I've got to go through this with my wife. Some
of the things they say about my wife, who I
love dearly. How do you take that? Do you learn
to just let it roll off your back? Because they're Yeah.
Speaker 9 (21:56):
I think the best way I've learned is through watching
my dad react all of that. I think he's an
incredibly resilient person, and especially what happened after the shooting,
watching him keep going throughout his mayoral campaign like that,
to me made me even more resolved to help him
get re elected and make an impact.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Wow, just stay off of Twitter, I always tell mom.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Amen. All right, I've got some questions. We'll start with
a fun one here. What is one sport that you
would not invite your dad to play on the team with?
Speaker 10 (22:37):
I would say most contact sports.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
How about basketball? Is he any good at basketball?
Speaker 9 (22:45):
You think I've heard some stories of dad being pretty
good back in the day at the JCC Rec League.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
That's a very competitive league. It is a very competitive league.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
I saw a lot of time in the fourth quarter
of those games.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
What kind of board games do you all play together?
And is he is he very competitive at that?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I would say Daniel would always Daniel would always make
us play Monopoly as kids. Sometimes we all get a
little too competitive. I would say we're all pretty evenly matched.
I wouldn't say maybe Daniel gets the edge on a
couple ones, because he's much more level headed than I
am sometimes.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
But yeah, where is your dad's favorite place to go?
Like if you said day we can get on a
plane right now and go, or you caveat to what
is his favorite room in the house and you can't
answer bathroom?
Speaker 9 (23:40):
Well, I think the favorite room in the house is
probably the easy one. It's it's where the treadmill is.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Oh are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
So kind of a lunatic.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah, that's a great answer.
Speaker 9 (23:49):
Every morning, he's got a great setup, got the treadmill,
the TV and can just unplug and watch some Netflix
while he runs.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Does he do you have a favorite place to go
or you want them to answer. What if you said,
we can get on a play right now and go somewhere?
Where would he? Where would you all go?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Why?
Speaker 10 (24:02):
It's it how we're flying? Are you taking a private jet?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
That was the answer.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
That was the last.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
But honestly, I anytime we get off with family and
we go to we travel, particularly now in this job
and with the boys at college, that is just my
favorite time I'll get being together, the four of us.
And we don't do that as much as we used
to for a lot of reasons, but we try to
find that at least once a year.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
For Chepook a politician answer, if you ask.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Me and tell me a saying that he has well
growing up, what was the saying that dad had for you?
Speaker 5 (24:36):
I would say it's a little bit of a saying
and emotion. He always does the little bit of a
fist thing. And yes, Daniel O'Brien, the WWE wrestler, the
fingers of he sort of augmented that the little I'd say,
that's his go to in the house and also on
the campaign trail.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
That is hilarious. Eastre. You are honest about who you
are at home and in public. That is very good way,
all right? What is it?
Speaker 3 (25:10):
You know?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Is there any bad habits or things that you've got
from your dad that your dad has either apologized to
you and said, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry you got that
from me.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
So you Rachel's type jeans? That's well?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
How do you How does your mom handle all three
of y'all? I mean it's the boys and in her patience? Yeah,
patience is a good answer, all right, Zipper.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
It's definitely Rachel's dog though, So River gives Rachel all
the love twenty four to seven even when there's a
little bit of maybe tension in the Greenberg house.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
I'm kidding, who bugs you the most? H you're all
way at college? Who is the one that kind of
lets you guide yourself away? And who's calling you about
your grades and everything else?
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (26:01):
Is this a question for us not for you? I
don't think this, would you know?
Speaker 9 (26:06):
I would say I probably am in communication more with
my mom. I mean, my dad's got a pretty busy
day job.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah he does, he does, he does. All right, So
you pretty much gave me this answer. I'm looking at
from you what is and you can answer again if
you like. What is it that makes you so proud
of your dad, I.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Would say, coming out of COVID in twenty one C
after helping co found it, he could have really done
whatever he wanted, sold it very successful, COVID, didn't want
to work there anymore, and he chose to really run
for Marivas City, follow his dream that he's always wanting
to do, which I really admire. I mean, he could
(26:45):
be making millions, honestly at any job he wanted, start
making new startup, and he chose to help his city
and prioritize that, which I really admire.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Nice.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
And I've got two things to add, Yes, yes, there
are two things. And I've thought about this a lot,
and it's it's work ethic and brevity. Starting with work ethic,
my dad is someone that like I rarely see him
wake up past six or seven a m.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
Max.
Speaker 9 (27:09):
And he's running every morning on the treadmill and it
doesn't matter if like whatever happened in the city last night.
He's up, he is moving his body and he is
working till he goes to sleep. I admire that and
to me, like when I wake up, like I can't
make any excuses to not do the same. And it
really motivates me, and it should motivate everyone else too.
And second with brevity, I think he is someone I
(27:31):
really look up to because politicians can be so wordy,
and the way he expresses a message in such few
words possible.
Speaker 10 (27:40):
I really look up to it.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
Wow, impressive boys here, these kids, they're handsome, they're.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
It's crazy. I will send you that clip and then
you can put it in when you're on the treadmill.
And if you're having a bad.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Day, definitely will. You've got a great No.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
They need the clip so the next time they step
in it trouble, they just out of the lake.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Dad.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I did have this question, and I left this one out.
Is there anything that you want to tell your dad
that you did that you have never shared with him?
You got community, it's something you want to say I
did this when you don't know what?
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yeah, I plead the fifth I'm not good at really
keeping personal secrets anyways, comes out by accident, same with me.
Speaker 10 (28:36):
I don't have anything interesting.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Good for you, man, great job. A couple of successful
boys here.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
You know, Rachel Greenberg and I were in the same
uh political spouse support group. Yeah, so we don't how
old is does it get I mean the guys everywhere,
because I got to go a lot of places with
my wife Susan, and it gets ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
How many avsts do you like going or do.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
You feel obligated because it's got to the point where
it's just saying, you know what, you get a pass
on this one.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
I now I will say I choose where I want
to go. Okay, more, but I like going. Yeah, well
it depends, but.
Speaker 10 (29:13):
I normally like going.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
I always meet someone interesting, Like I'm really excited you're
talking about baseball. I'm really excited for PRP because I've
gone to PRP a few times. I've met the coach,
his daughter's and her y'all program. I love Joey Dudek, Like,
I feel like you then become invested, so I like going.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I'm more of a fan of stay at home and
watching murder.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
She wrote reruns. But that's just me, Louisvillions are are
pretty fair. I think I think that if you're doing
a good job, and even if you step in a
little bit, I think they're all Loivillions are pretty fair.
Would you agree with that? When if you see them out,
you don't get you get a lot of support, I think.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I think so that's been my observation. My observation is
that Louisvillions have a lot more in common than they
do a part. Whether you live in the East and
the world west, in the South end, everybody wants the
city to be safer. Everybody wants their kids to have
great public education. Everybody wants more good paying jobs. People
love parks and libraries. You know, the news might cover
(30:13):
the areas of tension, or that might be the area
of focus that divides us, but when you actually talk
to people, most people have the exact same goals and
if you disagree a little bit how to get there,
who cares. I wish more people could focus on that
because Louisville's an amazing place. You know, eighty ninety neighborhoods.
We all sort of want the same.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
Things, and they all want to be seen and heard.
Yet I think so and seeing them is But.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I think turning the corner on being proud you're from Louisville, right, Okay, we.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Took a tremendous pride.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
We took a hit. We took a hit, and I
think once we get outside of our bubble and the
rest of the country what they think of us, Because
if you travel, you'll you'll hear it. The boys are
at Brown Is that right? Look the second that they
hear they're from Kentucky, you're already being judged for where
you where you are. And Louisville's taking a hit since
(31:03):
twenty twenty, and I think we need to get that
we're proud to be for.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
That's what I'm trying to get back into our city spirit.
Because what's amazing in this job we meet a lot
of people that come into Louisville that are looking to
make investments here, that are travelers to hear here for
a conference. When people come to Louisville, they fall in
love with this place. They are blown away. And I
wish everyone in Louisville understood how unique, special, authentic, strong
(31:27):
of a city that we have to have that sense
of pride that you're talking about, Tony, And that's one
of the things that I'm trying to convey and talk
to about and build our city's pride back up. It's important.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
I will also say people are nicer in Kentucky. I
grew up in Rhode Island and people are just nicer.
Not on Twitter through the same on Twitter anywhere. But
when you meet people, even when my parents come in,
they're like, is that real? Everyone's smiling, and I was like, yes,
they mean it when they say how are you and
want to share.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
There was an article written about somebody that was there
was a retired couple and they were going to move
somewhere and they moved to Louisville, and they said one
of the things they tested was they pulled to a
red light or they were in a red light, and
they waited to turn green, and then they would wait
to see how long it took for someone to get
a horn. And and in Louisville it took the longest
time for somebody. Dude, come on, they weren't they were,
(32:18):
but that was a little I guess the test there
that they did it did us good.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
West.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
I sincerely want to say that I've wanted to speak
with you on several matters in the South End and
you've always taken the meeting and and you're supporting the
South End. You're doing good things. For that, I say
thank you. My second concern just being out was l
m p D. When you got elected, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Know what to expect so far, you've supported.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Them, and for that, I say thank you, because that
was my main concern is the south end of Louisville,
and you're working hard to do some things out there
that I know about exciting stuff. I have some exciting
stuff coming. For that, I say thank you sincerely and
for supporting.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
You're about to get a call. Uh semi catches fire
and falls off by sixty five overpasts you already on
top of that as soon.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Yeah, so I got news of that right before we
went on. My understanding is that the driver got out.
That's good, and so as of right when I started
this interview, there were no known injuries yet, but of
course we're looking into that. My guess is traffic is
way backed up on sixty five South.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
What is going on a picture? This is the third
or fourth.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
So on that note, Tony. We after it was a
few a month or so ago where there were two
or three accidents. It was just a little bit north
of that, but the same general area. I spoke with
the State Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary Jim Gray about that.
That's KYTC, so it's at State Highway. They were actively
looking at that. We were looking for some improved signings
(33:44):
and stuff. Clearly we have to continue looking at that
together because you know, we wanted to be safe. But here, Dwight,
I'll show you that picture right.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Yeah, Look, everybody avoid Void Spaghetti junction right now and
anywhere near that, because that is right inunderneath that. I
assume I'm trying to get a picture where this is
the semi is on fire and then falls off the
I sixty five overpass in downtown Louisville. Avoid that area
if you can at all costs. It's all shut down,
(34:14):
and from this picture the semi is still. Yes, it's
on fire, and again it fell off the overpass onto
the road below. So avoid that area again. I don't
know what we can do besides putting signs and lights
that blink like crazy, right, I don't know. I guess
that would help us.
Speaker 6 (34:32):
I would be a more fan of the people that
spin the sign. Hey, watch out, like in front of
a pizza joint.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
So scary turn coming up?
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yeah, well it is bad, so slow down. We are
sponsored by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety. Thank you, guys,
great job. You should be proud.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Thank you boys. Mom and I love you. I'm proud
to be Mayor, but I'm even more proud to be
your father, and I love it every day.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
