exciting things going on.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
How many businesses that you have all?
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Yeah, close to two thousand businesses and our Chambers City
proper in Jefferstown City Park.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
And you're offloading the business park, right, that's what I was.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Getting ready to go.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Your business parks they stay close to capacity, if not
at capacity.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
It's hard to find real estate.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Uh, if you're looking for a location in the business park,
it's hard to find the real estate.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Well, how has Jaytown changed in the last fifteen twenty years.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Well, I grew up here, so I watched it be
a little town if you will.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Right, we used to come up to the square.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Remember the Yegger's Key Market, Yeah, that was in the square.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yeah yeah, and now you know there's a restaurant there.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
But I think just by virtue of the housing.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Developments, the traffic flow, all the businesses you're seeing pop
up over the last fifteen years, you can tell this
is a place to be. And I go out all
the time and they'll say, oh, you're with the Jaytown Chamber,
and they'll say, I live in Jaytown. My mom lives
in Jaytown, my brothers live in Jaytown. Somebody always has
a connection to our community, and.
Speaker 4 (04:37):

Speaker 1 (04:38):
And they'll have a museum too, you know that, right,
you have a museum in the library.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Well, I want to dress up and I will get
to the museum. He says it's hard to find real
estate in Jaytown.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
It's not true because when Susan and I moved in
our neighborhood for whatever reasons, all of our neighbors started
to move.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So there's plenty of real estate in our neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Well, but all the other places I was specifically talking
about commercial, Let's.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Talk commercial, because Tony brings up a great point in
the museum let's talk about it, baby.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Well it's pretty cool. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
I don't want to speak on behalf of Beth in
the museum, but it is a pretty special place. So
you know, Jaytown has two museums now, So I just
have to plug this because it's about I want you
to know that this is a place to come and
visit and be a part of community. But our historic
museum that you're talking about, it's in the library. It's
so special and Beth changes out the displays and the exhibits,
(05:36):
you know, every six months or so. It's a great
place if you want to see and learn about Jaytown.

Speaker 5 (05:47):

How long have you been with the town Chamber Commerce?
Speaker 5 (08:52):
So I just celebrated my fifth anniversary with this chamber,
But I've been in the chamber world for more years

Because I know what you're gonna say. I know what
you're going to bring up. I know what you're going
to bring up.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Bring up twenty years ago, twenty years ago, two years ago, okays, oh,
I think she does. Twenty years ago, they asked Tony
and I at the MC the Chamber of the Jaytown
gas Light Festival kickoff.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yes, and by the way, all fairness, we asked and
said where what level do you want? And they said,
we want you to do what you do on the show.
And I went, are you sure?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
And I said, is it okay to roast the chamber members?
And they said, oh my gosh, what a great idea too. No,
it was didn't work out that way.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
We started it.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
They had fourteen foot screens and we started the whole
thing with someone lighting their own gas on fire. And
that was the Gaslight Festival. That was the first vision,
and about seven minutes in it was you could hear
a pin drop and I'm elbowing Dwight because we're both
on stage, and I said we need to switch tactics.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
But I refuse. No, of course, I said these are
great jokes to yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
No, yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I kept telling them it's gonna catch on sooner or later.
It did not.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Well, let's talk about beer Fest this weekend. Gaslight Festival
coming up before you know it. September is going to
be here, before you know it.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
What an event.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Talk about how important Gaslight is for this community, because man, it's.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
A shot in the three weeks long, it's a shot
in the arm for this business.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Gaste Festival.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
You know, we have just grown it and grown it
and it just used to be a little shopping center
festival started by the chamber fifty six years ago. So
this is our fifty sixth year. Now we take over
the whole square down Taylorsville Road down to the you know,
the tee up at the Gaslight Square. We'll have over
(10:46):
three hundred and fifty vendors. We get about two hundred
thousand people that come into that's crazy. For the whole week,
we do fourteen events and ten days. We estimate by
the math that I have been that I understand you're
supposed to use over two and a half million dollar
economic impact easily and Jason alone, And let me.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Tell you, people don't understand how it is to coordinate
an event like that.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It takes it.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Like you you all work hours in a day.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I mean like I bet you start playing at the
day it ends. I bet next day, take.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
A couple of days off, but then we deep get
back and were by January we're back at it.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I think that Gaslight Festival here's what's exciting to me
because you can have participants on every level. You know,
you got a great one of my this is my
favorite place to eat Baronal's pizza.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I mean if you follow me Facebook, you know that.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
But it's also you have different levels of investments for
people to show off their business. Yes, it could be
a part time crafts business. You see everything here at gas.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
So I believe this is the history I know.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Me tell you, Zachariah, Gaslight.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Why do you think it actually.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Have a little uh uh?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Is there a controversy Scott? This year you have a mascot.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Yeah, for first year. You'll you'll have to have me back.
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
But it started ou as a little business fair down
in the Jaytown shopping center, okay, with thirty vendors or
so in the sixties, and it came up I think
the women that created the gas Light idea up here
on Tailorsville Road and water some trail, and it was suggested,
according to the history, that they bring that outdoor festival up,
(12:26):
make it bigger, call it gas Light, and it has
grown ever since.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Right because it's not a good term now, I don't
think of it that way though, I didn't know if
there was I didn't know if jay Town was the
first that had gas light lamps or something.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
You should have a gas lighting gaslight festival.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I don't light you get like you get you get
on the stage out here, this beautiful uh stage you
have you have one people with one trade of thought gaslight.

what I do the players when they miss laid, Yeah,
don't get back on defense? All right, So I'm well
equipped to handle that.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I bet you got a couple of inbound plays ready
to draw up, aren't you got?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (19:53):
We could, We could get the Napkins asses here and
we can work out some.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Coach Laborman, thanks for coming out, number one.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Number two, let's talk about why you're here, because this tournament,
what was last year.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
The first year for a long time, No, it was actually, uh,
this is our third year and year one, Luke and myself.
To just get this thing off the ground, we would
people ask us, is this three on three? Who's playing?
What's the format? People had no idea. And you know,
it was like the perfect storm, guys, because it was
a time of Louisville basketball not where it needed to be.
(20:25):
To put it mildly, and to bring back the lore
of all the players from Hate and Russ and Luke
and Shane and you can go on and on them
play so well and in front of in front of
any great fans of them all at Freedom Hall, and
we we specifically put in our press that I you know,
(20:47):
white yes, yeah, And so being an assistant for coach
Patino for two years, and when I was coaching at
Monsignor Pace High School before that, I was big on
pressing and running. So the fans just it was incredible.
So now how it took off. Last year you had
what eighty five hundred crazy tucky game and now the
old rule is you can't win the championship till your
(21:07):
heart's broken. So we've had to regret to that and
we're in year three.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
But it is something exciting for the fans and the
players alike because if you ask me, one of the
worst things about college basketball the product.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Right now is the consistency. There is none.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
You can't get to know a team like all those
Denny Crumb teams that we had and they would stick
around for four or five years.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Same with NFL.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
You don't know the cast, if you don't know the team,
what fun is that? I think this is everybody knows
the players and everybody knows the passion.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
All right, Lieberman who we got on the team this year.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
So we have Peyton as a Jackie Moon slash player
and he's a much better player than Will Ferrell. We'll
have Russ Smith, we have we have David Johnson, former
Trinity player Race Baulden as well on Tres Harold, Shane Behannon,
(22:04):
Chris Jones, and we still have a couple other Jay
Scrubb is going to play.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
So is Harold gonna play the five? Yeah? Four? Or
are we positionless at this point?
Speaker 7 (22:16):
There you go. So look, and that's the biggest thing.
I'm warped because if you watch the NBA Finals, you
had uh players who are like doort for for Oklahoma
City playing some the five position. But everybody can handle it.
Everybody can play, so you don't want to put them
in that construct of okay, you put them in the
box that you have to be the four, because the
game has become where if you can't pass, you can't play.
(22:39):
You're driving gaps, you're creating, you're it's called stampeding, driving
closeouts and doing different things and spreading the spacing that
we have with guys that can shoot the basketball, that
can drive it because everybody's multi talented. So the biggest
thing is not just sitting a guy on the block.
It's now stretch players and so on. So the guys
that we have have such good skill sets that they
can almost play.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
You find it a difficult challenge because you obviously, in
a situation like this, you're picking the best of the
best on the team, and here you are burden with
the coaching of them saying, hey, i'll give you Is
it difficult because there's certain egos there, or they're pretty
receptive to listening to you, or because I always always
go back to Phil Jackson's bulls.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
What do you say, give it to Jordan? I mean,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (23:23):
So look that they're all alphas. Yeah, and they've all
been as they should be. They've all played professionally, they've
all been part of championships. The biggest thing is they
they want to be coached. And I've been find players
want when they want to be coached. And you can't
have rules without relationships. So as long as you have
I do workouts with these players, I have trust, we talk.
(23:46):
It's it's not just about on the floor. So when
there are times of when you have to get on them,
you can do that. So yeah, look, that's a part
of it. You have to deal with it. Every coach
at every level has to deal with egos, has to
deal with when things aren't going right. But for the
most part, that's what and I are really stressing with
this group is that we understand. Let's just understand what
the purpose is. To play together, have fun, get after
(24:08):
it and try and win the championship.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
And this format is there's we have the tournament at
Freedom Hall. UK's got theirs in Lexington, correct, but it's
in Memorial Coliseum. I think, yes, so there's a chance
we play them.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Yes, almost the same situations as last year.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
So and there was like a little scuffle Dwight after
the game or was curricular?
Speaker 7 (24:31):
There was some some yes because when you have yes
and that place was rocking, and you have everybody's level
has been raised, from fans to the players, and it's
no matter what. It's still in Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And you know this, and again we're talking about the ville.
When's the game start?
Speaker 7 (24:47):
The first game will be this excuse me, a week
from this Saturday, July nineteen.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
How do they get tickets?
Speaker 7 (24:54):
They can go to TBT dot com, they can go
to well but at this point I'll tell you what, like,
we so many requests for it, and if you can't
make it to the game, we want you there. All
our games will be on Fox or regular Fox Network.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
But here's the thing. So these guys, some of them
go on to great, great professional careers. Here's the thing.
They never feel like they did when they wore that
college uniform. Yeah, they don't. The camaraderie and the way
they were they were young, they were faked the way
they feel. They always moved back to their team through
the town they played college ball in, not their hometown.
(25:29):
They moved back to the college town. And it it's
so when they put the villa on and you're looking
at guys that ran the Black White Press together and
ran those sets for Rick in all those and they
played in championships, in final fours and Elite eights and
all that, and in Big East and ACC games. Man,
they it's not they want they they're so fired up
(25:50):
to do it.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Right to me, that's such a great point because it
really is the incentive. You know, you're insensified. There's a championship.
If you win it all, you get money and that
kind of stuff. This isn't like you have a contract
play so the pride and you mentioned it. Look how
many players h Lucas established himself here, Russ has bought house,
Py Peyton Stever runs shoot three sixty's so for all
(26:14):
these guys the pride to put that back on and
to almost look back on the memories that they have.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
How many players get to do that again, that's exactly.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Right, and do in front of their fans and play
with and you never went. At some point it stops, right, Yes,
the game ends for everybody because of injuries, age, what
have you? But to come back and play and still
do that in a place like Freedom Hall.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
It ain't about the money money, cause you only get
paid for right. It ain't about the money. These guys
want to hear where the ville in Freedom Hall and
rock it out and let's settle up with UK this year.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Yes, coach, By the way, there's so many great raw
Ross speech before you go out there, Herb Brooks from
the nineteen.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
All the movie references we've been making.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Here's what I want to do. You've got to be
so impressed, Coach. I never let the listeners know what's
going on. But if you basically tore my achilles out here,
nobody knows about until now. I'm willing to show up
and raw Rad show your team how to.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
