Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh, is it fair to say I'm exhausted at this
point and I didn't even have surgery done during the worry.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
About as you heard when doctor Solomon himself called in
and he said that was the right thing to do.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
He said, it was a mistake to do that, and
you don't want to injure yourself again.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I don't want to say we will giving away a
Bosh leaf blower. This thing's valued almost five hundred dollars
before we get out of here. Wow currency if Garyot
value tools.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Sometimes when I'm lazy, Greg Galliot's with us. Sometimes when
I'm lazy, I don't want to sweep the kitchen. I
just opened the two back doors and just use the blower.
Much easier right out the back door. Yeah, with the Greg,
do you do that?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Oh my god, you need to start doing that.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Man, it's a good.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I'm sure my pets would love that.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
All right, I will see you Smith. You know what
I say that, I'll see Greg Galliot tonight at the
Bats game because I'm going with my beautiful wife Susan.
But sometimes he ducks me when he sees me.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I'll send down the concourse. We'll get on this radio
right quick. You're you're usually up there in the air conditioned.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Sweet most people that know him trying to im with
the common people.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, don't let you kind of hang out of the
sweet level anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
So, let's review the last week. You got a lot
of social media people are like and even though my
coffee from Coffee and Company here on news Radio eight
forty whas he even did a video saying it is
his first experience with it. He said, did they overseell it?
And he said, no, this was way better than even
thought your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
It was what I remember from last year, and my
ears remembered it the way too. It was hot, it
was very steamy, standing room only crowds all three nights.
Everybody had a great time. What was cool is again
probably fifty sixty percent of the crowds from either out
of the county, out of the state, from other sides
(01:54):
of the country first time ever to Sluggerfield, and how
amazed and how much they enjoyed the ball park.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I guess we just take it because we try buy it.
We're in it all the time.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
But my gosh, I guess we really do have a
special place to play baseball.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And they're going to go to They're going to take
this idea and expand it.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah, that's the talk is next year they looks like
they might be creating a league. There could be eight
teams playing banana ball. You could possibly have four different
banana ball games going on simultaneously, spread out around the
country to maximize their exposure.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
So we'll see where this all goes.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
The Sunshine Man.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
The interesting thing is they normally don't go to a
city two years in a row.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
We were that exception this year.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
So they came back to Louisll because they had such
a great time here last year and they had a
great time again this year.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So the ballplayers are entertainers.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
The ballplayers are former college and minor league players. Okay,
a lot of them who have been taught, you.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Know, choreography and entertainment skills to enhance their baseball skills,
but first and foremost their baseball players.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
But it's not rigged like the No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Okay, So sometimes they get beat.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, Friday night, the visitors beat the party animals.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
So nice, all right, So that was last week. What
do we got going on for the fourth of July
or July third?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Yeah, we are cranking, and folks, first and foremost, Tomorrow
night will be your last chance to see the bats
are being Slugger Field for baseball till July eighteenth. Oh wow, Okay,
long road because of the long road trip and the
All Star break, we're gonna be going for two weeks.

Because of the big party we're going to have tomorrow night,
We're gonna open early at five thirds six pm, so
first pitches at seven five, game once it's over again,
the biggest fireworks show in downtown Louisville. Folks, this thing's
trending towards the sellout. There are some limited seats still
left on the first base side, which is the best
view of the fireworks, and that's both the lower level
(04:16):
and the club level seats on the second level. I
would grab those today at batsbaseball dot com. Also tomorrow evening,
about an hour before we open the gates, the world's
largest autograph baseball will be on site at the Witherspoon
Plaza at the corner Witherspoon and Preston. It's eight feet tall,
eight feet wide. It's traveling around the country courtesy of
(04:36):
Major League Baseball. Fans can stop by and autograph this baseball,
and they're trying to break the Guinness Book or World
records for the most autographs on a baseball. It's really
a cool site. It's actually gonna be on a huge trailer.
It's really neat. So again, that'll be tomorrow night at Sluggerfield.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Hey Pallo, windows and doors, Baby, how are those energy bills?
Are they super high in the summer, super high in
the winters. Probably could be. I bet it is your windows,
your doors. Let's go aheading up grade and just save
on the energy bill and make that home beautiful with
Pello windows and doors. Why Pella, Well, they're the best.
I say that because they're rated number one and the
(06:19):
highest craftsmanship, number one and highest value, and they're made
not just in the USA, but right here in Kentucky.
Any kind of window you can imagine, commercial new construction,
replacement windows. They got them windows and doors and patio doors.
But look at them for yourself. Check them out now

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Clines Locks go to clinlocks dot com. They've been around
since nineteen fourteen. If you need custom made commercial doors,
that's their specialty. But everybody needs the keyless access, the
closed circuit television. It's not hooked to a system, but
it's it's for you. There's no contracts to sign. So
if you need custom made commercial doors and door fire doors,
they have an expert there that can okay the fire doors,
(07:02):

Kleinlock dot com twenty four hour service back after this
on news radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, here I hit this.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I hope this there you go. I hope this wet
dog slash hockey equipment stank gets out of the studio
for Terry gets in here. Bookers, we're gonna hear about it,
and it's gonna be your fault.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Off.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It's gonna be your fault.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Oh, Alan Freeman, about time you cut that thing off?
And then he says, practically cut my pinky off last week,
glued it back together at work using a chainsaw. He
sends a picture. Look at that.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Dude, Actually, really good job sewing it back on, all right?
Sean Biddy, Buffy b Diddy, p Diddy Combs guilty on
two of the chargers. The less the lesser charges. They
didn't get him on the racketeering. I don't know why
I was talking to Maddy mccaut that going. I don't
(08:01):
understand why there wasn't a rape charge.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I mean neither.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But I think the jury's thought, like a lot of
listeners are, I'm sorry viewers that were like they were
watching this coverage and going, they're not proving a very
good case here.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah. No, but season, both properties and whole bu I
thought it was gonna be something bigger, and who knows,
maybe it is. Maybe they have I don't know. Some
places have bum County Attorney's office, he says, even when
you got them, you know, ironclad on the case. So
say take a plea deal. I guess because it makes
their bum County attorney look good with the record.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
But this is the FEDS, and that's what they had
to do in Louisville, by the way, is start to
get the Feds to do it, because they couldn't. We
were refusing to charge and put people in jail in
Louisville for the longest time. So the Feds had to
step in and say, Okay, we're going to stop this.
We're going to charge these folks, all right. So to
show didd he is probably gonna do some time up
to ten years. So that's the most. That's the most
(08:56):
he'll get his ten years on the two charges.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Gus, what was your what was your bet when we
start we walked around the table, Tony said, he walks,
I said twenty five. I hang on him, what'd you say?
Speaker 6 (09:07):
You said he'd probably get about ten years something.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
No, of course, he recalls. Yes, so John Alden said
ten to fifteen two. But he's not on the show,
so I guess the money goes to him. That's what
John Alden gets for taken off the show.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
So they have closed a bunch of beaches for the
fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Can I say something? Go ahead, I just gotta let
this out. Yeah, beaches be crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
They're not closed because of sharks.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And beaches be shopping too.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
They close beaches in five states not because of sharks.
It's because bacteria in a lot of these beaches will
if you get it in your mouth or your pe
hole or that's the Amazon River.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Well, I'm just saying they do have small That's how
ambig dysentery gets to you.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
They have small bugs that will swim up there on
the Amazon and then you're if.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
They swim through your ureth.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
But this this virus occurs naturally in the water. If
you get in your mouth or if you have a
cut on your leg, you get this infection, you're in big,
big trouble. It can cause na nausea, vomiting, fever, chills,
and sometimes death.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Is that what it causes. All those simptoms can be
solved with one thing. What pepto bismo?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
It's not a bad right, swim.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And take the pepto. I mean dysentery. Yeah, you know
it says it's in the song.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
So if you're traveling to Illinois, California, Texas, just New York,
if you know New York, I'm not sure I'd swim
in a New York beach, Gus? Would you swim in
a New York beach? Chicago?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Would swim in the Ohio?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I got no, no.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I got friends and they go out on these boats
and they're like, hey, look at us, We're in the Ohio.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
I'm scared. What's the brain about? The brain eating Yes, yes,
it's in fresh water. I've scared the death of that.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Jackie had a coworker that had a cut on his leg.
He's been dealing with it for a year. He went
into rough river or wherever it was, and the virus
got in there in his cut. They almost had to
cut his damn legos.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And I want to get back to that brain neating
MEBA virus? Gus. Do you know that Tony actually had
that brain eating AMBA virus? But it left hungry and
left a bad Yelp review.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
M I'm gonna give you a dollar out of the
bad joke jar, And I think you've rebounded because you
were swinging at every pitch on Monday and they were
so bad. They were so bad that I think I
think you recovered. Though. I think getting the cast off
today is going to do wonders for you.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I hope it was a block. The only thing is like, right,
it's sore. Now it hurts. It didn't hurt in the cast.
And I guess just because the cast is pulling in
a little bit.

He doesn't owe them anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
He owns a couple. I think he sold them.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Well.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Then go at one of Eric tider is the stores
and walk in and go damn. I wish, I wish
Eric Titus still own this store.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
And speaking of restaurants, eating alone is more popular than ever.
Having a meal by yourself can be actually a good thing.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
You don't have to hear the smacking or the stupid
questions like this, how's your food taste? It's good?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Why I don't mind eating a loan?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I love eating a loan.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Approximately fifty two percent of Americans planning to dine alone
this year. Doesn't everyone dine alone at some point?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Five minutes to eat using some piece you just read
the phone. Yeah, you just sit there on the toilet
and you eat and you're on your.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Do you enjoy your food more when you're by yourself
rather than with somebody else?
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah, I do. I enjoy it more when by myself.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Do you rush through your food? See?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I rushed through Here's the thing. See worked a lot
of blue car jobs. You had a thirty minute lunch break. Yeah,
thirty minutes lunch breaks means you have thirty minutes to
get down to the burger king on criten and drive, eat,
come back and punch back in.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Wow, what is tough. Yeah, thirty minutes. I thought I
was going to say like five minutes. No, no, Julie,
get thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
But here, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
How do you how many cigarettes?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Knowing? Yeah, that's the other thing. You gotta get some
smokes in there.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Look, the year was eighty eight, so people were smoking.
I eat too fast because when I was waiting tables,
you were never there was no are you didn't have
a break. So you had the plate in the back
and you would take a couple of bites, go back
to waiting tables, or you would crush it all at
one thing.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Would you eat it? Would you ever eat off their
plate like that?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
There were so many people.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
There were some fries. You could get you a couple
of fries. Oh, here you go.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
You had no idea how many people that work in
the restaurant industry that eat off Like when they bring
the plates back, they eat if there's a half a
sandwich or something like that. They're eating that. It's kind
of disgusting.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
That's why we get a hamburger. I say, give me
a give me a cheeseburger and eighteen.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
French fries Marty book, Do you eat by yourself sometimes
in a dining setting?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Not really. I get a little creeped out by that.
I don't know why my wife does. I really don't
do that. Now take that. Does this count going in
and eating at the bar?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Uh? No, I don't think that counts. That's a very
good point. I don't think eating at the bar counts.
I think you're right about that, and I'm gonna guess
that maybe you do that more than once.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Well, I've had I've had a chicken wing or two
in my life.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Oh, I mean, what's the part.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I'm usually a church or the library.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I don't really don't have time the church or the library.
That's exactly right, Oh, Marty. Book from from Carriage Carriage
Forward or Books Carriage Forward. What's the diner you always
facetim me from h during football season?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Is it Vic vic Cafe?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
It looks like an old greasy spoon.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
It certainly is, and it's got greasy spoon vibe greasy
spoon food. Uh, they have plate lunch specials though. That's
the ladies back there. It's kind of homemade stuff different
days and things like that. Uh, you don't have to
bring your cigarettes. All you have deud breathe, but you
can just share everybody else's air.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Indiana cracks me up.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Well, it's it's reminds you know. I was telling somebody
this story the other day when we went to Breeders
Cup last year. If you are sold in Fine to
smoke a cigarette, you were not allowed to. But you
know what you were allowed to smell? You know what?
You guess what you could smoke? What marijuana?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Oh yeah, right, Well they're.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
First smoking marijuana and in the stands at the Breers
Cup and so I pulled out a Marlborough. They come
and tell you put it down.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Oh no, no, they tackled yet. Yeah yeah, yeah. I
remember the first time you face tied me from Vic's cafe.
There was an ash tray on that I was like,
is that an ashtray in the background. I couldn't believe it,
I said, when am I inviting? I think there was
an open table for me at VIX at any time,
and I'm ready to go all right, since you brought
up the breeders all the time, I'm ready. Venette's Venez's way, okay. So, uh,
(19:11):
d Wayne Lucas passed away? Uh, I know you were
a fan. Did you equally love d Wayne Lucas as
much as you hate Bob Baffort.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
It's no. I'll tell you what. I saw some interviews
in the last couple of days, and yes, for sure,
it's this is silly when you're talking about a sports
hiw or whatever. It felt like a family member. Whenever,
whenever I first heard the news, whenever you know his
he's on a pony at four am every morning, and
(19:43):
I don't care if it's the day after the derby.
I don't care if it's Christmas or whatever. He was
on his pony at four am every morning. Now, when
last season that they said he's walking away and he's
not gonna take treatment, I knew this wasn't gonna be
long because there's nothing, you know, no pun intended. A
team of horses couldn't pull him away, and so it just,
(20:04):
you know, it kind of hit me then that you
know this, this isn't gonna be too But I tell
you what surprised me, Tony and uh Dwight if you're
still there. Uh. They showed all kinds of the recent
interviews and stuff, and he did a lot of interviews
with Bob Baffert that I hadn't seen before. And I
think some guys kind of buried the buried the hatchet.
(20:27):
That don't mean I have to.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Right, Uh?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Is he the greatest, the greatest trainer in Churchill Allen's history.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Yes, yes, and there's and arguably of all time. Now,
the thing about horse racing is you take take Steve
Asmusemon for example, he runs everywhere. I mean, he's got
this this pile of horses that is unreal, and so
he runs a long star. He might be running at
(20:57):
the paragrounds in New Orleans and he might have thirty
horses running a day around the country. He's your all
time winner and wins. Does that making the best trainer?
You know, it's a Peter row is the best baseball
player ever. No, it got the most hips. And so
I just think with Lucas's plastics record of the big
(21:19):
races and things like that, when he shows up to
play man, I'm missing.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
All right, you could tell that you're a little emotional
talking about the guy. It's funny that sometimes you know
stars or whatever like that, You're like, why am I
getting an emotional that so and so died? But it
is he had that attachment attachment to a lot of
people because everyone they interviewed out at Churchill downs were
getting emotional talking about him.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Well, let me tell you, you know, and if I'm sorry
if I've told you guys this story before he was
buddies with Paul Horning, and of course Hornie was doing
our advertising at the time, right, and this is when
and this is when the the Bamford Lucas rivalry is
huge and Lucas is on a roll. And Dad had
some horses with him that he was traded. And you know,
(22:06):
there was two things about him, but one the attention
to detail. He knew everything about ever horse. Anytime he
talked to Dad, Yeah we galloped out this, we did that,
He just knew it. It was amazing his detail. If
you've ever paid attention to the barns over at Churchill,
the first thing he did when he comes to town
is they landscaped the barn and put in flyers and
(22:29):
shrubs and everything. Nobody does that back of there, you know,
little things like that. But he done a favor for
my dad. Derby week em and Horning come over here
sitting in the middle var showroom and said shot a
commercial and said you just saw that I'm a champion
and said something about carry Forward being a champion. This
commercial is set to rud at. The first commercial breaks
(22:53):
after the Kentucky Derby. Thundergulch wins the Derby for Lucas
and then the commercial runs.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Look at that. That's called timing. Hey, yes, good things
happen to good people for sure, and that's Carriage Forward.
Go to carriageforward dot com. We still have the a
plan or is that in the review?
Speaker 5 (23:14):
We're going to the sebventh buddy, So we got five
more days. We won't be here on the fourth. Happy
fourth July to all the listeners and all our customers
over the years. You know, get together with family, be safe,
don't stick your hands in the fire fit, and you know,
just be proud of what we got here in America.
We got to maybe start focusing on that and not
(23:34):
what we don't have.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That's exactly right, that's a good sentiment in veterans. One
thousand dollars extra off if you have served or have served.
That's another one for Carriage Forward because they give back
and family and family Carriage Forward. It's best by a
coach your Mile Bardi book.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
We love you buddy, Thanks brother, Love you guys.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah see you man awesome A lot of people, Gus,
you covered the Derby so many years. How much did
you deal with d Wayne Lucas.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
I never got to know him very well, but I
got to know him a little bit. The one amazing
thing about him is he was at that track very
very early every morning, like three o'clock right three thirty.
Is if you were there at three thirty, he was
there before you. I'm like, I don't know how you
do that.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
But he was always out on that track at five am.
Derby week, you'd see him out there and he was
out there on his horse. Even this year, he was
out there mounted on the horse watching his horses work
five am in the morning. I go, and you're doing
that when you're in your late eighties. Ago, that is
dedication to the sport. Always a fine gentleman whenever I
met him, because he was kind of a larger than
(24:42):
life character. Oh yeah, you know, I'm just some young guy.
I want to go up and meet him, and he
was very nice. He was kind of brash years ago.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
He kind of established horse.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Racing, you know, the royalty of it a little bit
with the trainers now, the people that we all follow now,
the Baffords of the world that we think, well, you know,
the Wayne Lucas kind of set that standard there. He
was the one that came out of the in the
big nice suit with the rose on getting.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Out of the catch cowboy hat. Yeah, he was. He
was that figure and he will be missed for sure.
You need those characters in any sport, absolutely uh And
and Bob Bafford was one of those too, you know,
the sunglasses, in the in the in the in the
bleach blonde whatever, not bleep blawn, but gray hair. He
always had. Ladies love Bob Bafford for sure. But you
(25:32):
need those sort of characters.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
And he's back.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
But thoughts and prayers to the Lucas family and and
everybody involved in that. I don't know what they're gonna
do at Churchill Downs. I know they have to do something.
I don't know if they do a statue like they
did John Asher, which maybe John Asher's statue may be
the greatest statue I've ever seen.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
It's spectacular. Put him put put a statue there with
John Asher and it's I can't remember who else? Is
it Matt Win that's next?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yes, yes, him talking to Matt Win, two of the
most influential people in Churchill Down's history.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
But they did the one of d Wayne Lucas. He
did so much, yeah, in the eighties and the nineties
for this sport. And and think about all the trainers
that are out there that he has pushed forward, you
know forward. They had a meeting of lifting up sure, Yeah,
several years ago during Derby Week of all the trainers
that he has brought out there and that he, you know,
helped nourish and move along.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
There's no doubt. And that will tell you and Bobby
Night were good friends. That is surprising to me.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah, I heard that.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yes, I really de Way Lucas he could act like
Bobby back in the eighties or nineties. I remember covering
the whole thing and and you know, he'd make the
TV guys wait, he'd sit in his office and he
you know, and they're all waiting out there. They got
deadlines and stuff, and de Wayne Lucas to be like, yeah,
they can wait. I'll come out there.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
What it.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
You know, that's when you're you know, that's when you're
eyes society and you're like, yeah, they can wait. I
I love him, man, But thoughts and prayers to the
whole family, and I hope they do something out of
Churchill doownds. They can't imagine that they won't. All right,
we're gonna take a short break and wrap it up
here on a crazy show. Dwight cut off his his
cast himself with the help with some power tools, and
(27:12):
it was crazy in here, and he's got to clean
up some of this mess for sure before Terry gets
in here. News Radio eight forty w h A S.
Get the vacuum cleaner, and I need you to get
the smell good too, because Terry's gonna freak with all
that fiberglass on the floor and you're in this whole
room smells like a wet dog's button.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
It smells like my hockey equipment. It's a good smell.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Ill or a smoker that's been in the rain out
in the rain and they come in and.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
The smells are they Yeah, And if you go with
skunk good smell to me. I love skunk.
Speaker 1 (27:41):

cutting Dwight's cast off during the show, but it proved
the shot back and somebody's got to clean this up
because he's gonna be done.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I can't put weight on this.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I think I got some of that fiberglass in my
eyes if I if I go blind.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Bad for your lungs too.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Thank you what.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You all quit with your propaganda and your hysteria.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Darryl isaacsweewin dot com.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I can't vacuum because I can't. I can't put weight
on this.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Oh you can't vacuum it, so I have to do it.
Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I can't because you.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Get the freedom of losing your cast, But I got
to clean it up for you. This is too far.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Can't put weight on it.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Gus help me. We'll see you tomorrow. News Radio eight
forty wh chans.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
I love you, Ma,
Uh, is it fair to say I'm exhausted at this
point and I didn't even have surgery done during the worry.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
About as you heard when doctor Solomon himself called in
and he said that was the right thing to do.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
He said, it was a mistake to do that, and
you don't want to injure yourself again.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I don't want to say we will giving away a
Bosh leaf blower. This thing's valued almost five hundred dollars
before we get out of here. Wow currency if Garyot
value tools.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Sometimes when I'm lazy, Greg Galliot's with us. Sometimes when
I'm lazy, I don't want to sweep the kitchen. I
just opened the two back doors and just use the blower.
Much easier right out the back door. Yeah, with the Greg,
do you do that?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Oh my god, you need to start doing that.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Man, it's a good.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I'm sure my pets would love that.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
All right, I will see you Smith. You know what
I say that, I'll see Greg Galliot tonight at the
Bats game because I'm going with my beautiful wife Susan.
But sometimes he ducks me when he sees me.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I'll send down the concourse. We'll get on this radio
right quick. You're you're usually up there in the air conditioned.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Sweet most people that know him trying to im with
the common people.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, don't let you kind of hang out of the
sweet level anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
So, let's review the last week. You got a lot
of social media people are like and even though my
coffee from Coffee and Company here on news Radio eight
forty whas he even did a video saying it is
his first experience with it. He said, did they overseell it?
And he said, no, this was way better than even
thought your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
It was what I remember from last year, and my
ears remembered it the way too. It was hot, it
was very steamy, standing room only crowds all three nights.
Everybody had a great time. What was cool is again
probably fifty sixty percent of the crowds from either out
of the county, out of the state, from other sides
(01:54):
of the country first time ever to Sluggerfield, and how
amazed and how much they enjoyed the ball park.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I guess we just take it because we try buy it.
We're in it all the time.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
But my gosh, I guess we really do have a
special place to play baseball.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And they're going to go to They're going to take
this idea and expand it.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah, that's the talk is next year they looks like
they might be creating a league. There could be eight
teams playing banana ball. You could possibly have four different
banana ball games going on simultaneously, spread out around the
country to maximize their exposure.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
So we'll see where this all goes.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
The Sunshine Man.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
The interesting thing is they normally don't go to a
city two years in a row.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
We were that exception this year.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
So they came back to Louisll because they had such
a great time here last year and they had a
great time again this year.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So the ballplayers are entertainers.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
The ballplayers are former college and minor league players. Okay,
a lot of them who have been taught, you.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Know, choreography and entertainment skills to enhance their baseball skills,
but first and foremost their baseball players.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
But it's not rigged like the No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Okay, So sometimes they get beat.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, Friday night, the visitors beat the party animals.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
So nice, all right, So that was last week. What
do we got going on for the fourth of July
or July third?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Yeah, we are cranking, and folks, first and foremost, Tomorrow
night will be your last chance to see the bats
are being Slugger Field for baseball till July eighteenth. Oh wow, Okay,
long road because of the long road trip and the
All Star break, we're gonna be going for two weeks.
The weather tomorrow looks like it's gonna be so awesome,
and uh, the largest firework show in downtown Louisville. We're gonna,
(03:36):
of course, being a Thursday, we're gonna be featuring our
thrifty Thursday menu for to our hot dogs, to our popcorn,
to to our pepsis. But we are bringing over from
Friday night our drink specials to join in. So Tomorrow
night we'll have three dollars canned Miller and Core's Light
and of course six dollars Marguerite is made with number one.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Tequila, Number one baby.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Because of the big party we're going to have tomorrow night,
We're gonna open early at five thirds six pm, so
first pitches at seven five, game once it's over again,
the biggest fireworks show in downtown Louisville. Folks, this thing's
trending towards the sellout. There are some limited seats still
left on the first base side, which is the best
view of the fireworks, and that's both the lower level
(04:16):
and the club level seats on the second level. I
would grab those today at batsbaseball dot com. Also tomorrow evening,
about an hour before we open the gates, the world's
largest autograph baseball will be on site at the Witherspoon
Plaza at the corner Witherspoon and Preston. It's eight feet tall,
eight feet wide. It's traveling around the country courtesy of
(04:36):
Major League Baseball. Fans can stop by and autograph this baseball,
and they're trying to break the Guinness Book or World
records for the most autographs on a baseball. It's really
a cool site. It's actually gonna be on a huge trailer.
It's really neat. So again, that'll be tomorrow night at Sluggerfield.

on the energy bill and make that home beautiful with
Pello windows and doors. Why Pella, Well, they're the best.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, here I hit this.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I hope this there you go. I hope this wet
dog slash hockey equipment stank gets out of the studio
for Terry gets in here. Bookers, we're gonna hear about it,
and it's gonna be your fault.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Off.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It's gonna be your fault.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Oh, Alan Freeman, about time you cut that thing off?
And then he says, practically cut my pinky off last week,
glued it back together at work using a chainsaw. He
sends a picture. Look at that.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Dude, Actually, really good job sewing it back on, all right?
Sean Biddy, Buffy b Diddy, p Diddy Combs guilty on
two of the chargers. The less the lesser charges. They
didn't get him on the racketeering. I don't know why
I was talking to Maddy mccaut that going. I don't
(08:01):
understand why there wasn't a rape charge.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I mean neither.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But I think the jury's thought, like a lot of
listeners are, I'm sorry viewers that were like they were
watching this coverage and going, they're not proving a very
good case here.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah. No, but season, both properties and whole bu I
thought it was gonna be something bigger, and who knows,
maybe it is. Maybe they have I don't know. Some
places have bum County Attorney's office, he says, even when
you got them, you know, ironclad on the case. So
say take a plea deal. I guess because it makes
their bum County attorney look good with the record.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
But this is the FEDS, and that's what they had
to do in Louisville, by the way, is start to
get the Feds to do it, because they couldn't. We
were refusing to charge and put people in jail in
Louisville for the longest time. So the Feds had to
step in and say, Okay, we're going to stop this.
We're going to charge these folks, all right. So to
show didd he is probably gonna do some time up
to ten years. So that's the most. That's the most
(08:56):
he'll get his ten years on the two charges.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Gus, what was your what was your bet when we
start we walked around the table, Tony said, he walks,
I said twenty five. I hang on him, what'd you say?
Speaker 6 (09:07):
You said he'd probably get about ten years something.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
No, of course, he recalls. Yes, so John Alden said
ten to fifteen two. But he's not on the show,
so I guess the money goes to him. That's what
John Alden gets for taken off the show.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
So they have closed a bunch of beaches for the
fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Can I say something? Go ahead, I just gotta let
this out. Yeah, beaches be crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
They're not closed because of sharks.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And beaches be shopping too.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
They close beaches in five states not because of sharks.
It's because bacteria in a lot of these beaches will
if you get it in your mouth or your pe
hole or that's the Amazon River.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Well, I'm just saying they do have small That's how
ambig dysentery gets to you.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
They have small bugs that will swim up there on
the Amazon and then you're if.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
They swim through your ureth.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
But this this virus occurs naturally in the water. If
you get in your mouth or if you have a
cut on your leg, you get this infection, you're in big,
big trouble. It can cause na nausea, vomiting, fever, chills,
and sometimes death.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Is that what it causes. All those simptoms can be
solved with one thing. What pepto bismo?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
It's not a bad right, swim.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And take the pepto. I mean dysentery. Yeah, you know
it says it's in the song.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
So if you're traveling to Illinois, California, Texas, just New York,
if you know New York, I'm not sure I'd swim
in a New York beach, Gus? Would you swim in
a New York beach? Chicago?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Would swim in the Ohio?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I got no, no.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I got friends and they go out on these boats
and they're like, hey, look at us, We're in the Ohio.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
I'm scared. What's the brain about? The brain eating Yes, yes,
it's in fresh water. I've scared the death of that.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Jackie had a coworker that had a cut on his leg.
He's been dealing with it for a year. He went
into rough river or wherever it was, and the virus
got in there in his cut. They almost had to
cut his damn legos.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And I want to get back to that brain neating
MEBA virus? Gus. Do you know that Tony actually had
that brain eating AMBA virus? But it left hungry and
left a bad Yelp review.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
M I'm gonna give you a dollar out of the
bad joke jar, And I think you've rebounded because you
were swinging at every pitch on Monday and they were
so bad. They were so bad that I think I
think you recovered. Though. I think getting the cast off
today is going to do wonders for you.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I hope it was a block. The only thing is like, right,
it's sore. Now it hurts. It didn't hurt in the cast.
And I guess just because the cast is pulling in
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
He owns a couple. I think he sold them.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Well.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Then go at one of Eric tider is the stores
and walk in and go damn. I wish, I wish
Eric Titus still own this store.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
And speaking of restaurants, eating alone is more popular than ever.
Having a meal by yourself can be actually a good thing.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
You don't have to hear the smacking or the stupid
questions like this, how's your food taste? It's good?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Why I don't mind eating a loan?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I love eating a loan.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Approximately fifty two percent of Americans planning to dine alone
this year. Doesn't everyone dine alone at some point?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Five minutes to eat using some piece you just read
the phone. Yeah, you just sit there on the toilet
and you eat and you're on your.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Do you enjoy your food more when you're by yourself
rather than with somebody else?
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah, I do. I enjoy it more when by myself.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Do you rush through your food? See?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I rushed through Here's the thing. See worked a lot
of blue car jobs. You had a thirty minute lunch break. Yeah,
thirty minutes lunch breaks means you have thirty minutes to
get down to the burger king on criten and drive, eat,
come back and punch back in.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Wow, what is tough. Yeah, thirty minutes. I thought I
was going to say like five minutes. No, no, Julie,
get thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
But here, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
How do you how many cigarettes?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Knowing? Yeah, that's the other thing. You gotta get some
smokes in there.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Look, the year was eighty eight, so people were smoking.
I eat too fast because when I was waiting tables,
you were never there was no are you didn't have
a break. So you had the plate in the back
and you would take a couple of bites, go back
to waiting tables, or you would crush it all at
one thing.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Would you eat it? Would you ever eat off their
plate like that?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
There were so many people.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
There were some fries. You could get you a couple
of fries. Oh, here you go.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
You had no idea how many people that work in
the restaurant industry that eat off Like when they bring
the plates back, they eat if there's a half a
sandwich or something like that. They're eating that. It's kind
of disgusting.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
That's why we get a hamburger. I say, give me
a give me a cheeseburger and eighteen.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
French fries Marty book, Do you eat by yourself sometimes
in a dining setting?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Not really. I get a little creeped out by that.
I don't know why my wife does. I really don't
do that. Now take that. Does this count going in
and eating at the bar?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Uh? No, I don't think that counts. That's a very
good point. I don't think eating at the bar counts.
I think you're right about that, and I'm gonna guess
that maybe you do that more than once.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Well, I've had I've had a chicken wing or two
in my life.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Oh, I mean, what's the part.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I'm usually a church or the library.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I don't really don't have time the church or the library.
That's exactly right, Oh, Marty. Book from from Carriage Carriage
Forward or Books Carriage Forward. What's the diner you always
facetim me from h during football season?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Is it Vic vic Cafe?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
It looks like an old greasy spoon.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
It certainly is, and it's got greasy spoon vibe greasy
spoon food. Uh, they have plate lunch specials though. That's
the ladies back there. It's kind of homemade stuff different
days and things like that. Uh, you don't have to
bring your cigarettes. All you have deud breathe, but you
can just share everybody else's air.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Indiana cracks me up.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Well, it's it's reminds you know. I was telling somebody
this story the other day when we went to Breeders
Cup last year. If you are sold in Fine to
smoke a cigarette, you were not allowed to. But you
know what you were allowed to smell? You know what?
You guess what you could smoke? What marijuana?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Oh yeah, right, Well they're.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
First smoking marijuana and in the stands at the Breers
Cup and so I pulled out a Marlborough. They come
and tell you put it down.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Oh no, no, they tackled yet. Yeah yeah, yeah. I
remember the first time you face tied me from Vic's cafe.
There was an ash tray on that I was like,
is that an ashtray in the background. I couldn't believe it,
I said, when am I inviting? I think there was
an open table for me at VIX at any time,
and I'm ready to go all right, since you brought
up the breeders all the time, I'm ready. Venette's Venez's way, okay. So, uh,
(19:11):
d Wayne Lucas passed away? Uh, I know you were
a fan. Did you equally love d Wayne Lucas as
much as you hate Bob Baffort.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
It's no. I'll tell you what. I saw some interviews
in the last couple of days, and yes, for sure,
it's this is silly when you're talking about a sports
hiw or whatever. It felt like a family member. Whenever,
whenever I first heard the news, whenever you know his
he's on a pony at four am every morning, and
(19:43):
I don't care if it's the day after the derby.
I don't care if it's Christmas or whatever. He was
on his pony at four am every morning. Now, when
last season that they said he's walking away and he's
not gonna take treatment, I knew this wasn't gonna be
long because there's nothing, you know, no pun intended. A
team of horses couldn't pull him away, and so it just,
(20:04):
you know, it kind of hit me then that you
know this, this isn't gonna be too But I tell
you what surprised me, Tony and uh Dwight if you're
still there. Uh. They showed all kinds of the recent
interviews and stuff, and he did a lot of interviews
with Bob Baffert that I hadn't seen before. And I
think some guys kind of buried the buried the hatchet.
(20:27):
That don't mean I have to.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Right, Uh?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Is he the greatest, the greatest trainer in Churchill Allen's history.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Yes, yes, and there's and arguably of all time. Now,
the thing about horse racing is you take take Steve
Asmusemon for example, he runs everywhere. I mean, he's got
this this pile of horses that is unreal, and so
he runs a long star. He might be running at
(20:57):
the paragrounds in New Orleans and he might have thirty
horses running a day around the country. He's your all
time winner and wins. Does that making the best trainer?
You know, it's a Peter row is the best baseball
player ever. No, it got the most hips. And so
I just think with Lucas's plastics record of the big
(21:19):
races and things like that, when he shows up to
play man, I'm missing.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
All right, you could tell that you're a little emotional
talking about the guy. It's funny that sometimes you know
stars or whatever like that, You're like, why am I
getting an emotional that so and so died? But it
is he had that attachment attachment to a lot of
people because everyone they interviewed out at Churchill downs were
getting emotional talking about him.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Well, let me tell you, you know, and if I'm sorry
if I've told you guys this story before he was
buddies with Paul Horning, and of course Hornie was doing
our advertising at the time, right, and this is when
and this is when the the Bamford Lucas rivalry is
huge and Lucas is on a roll. And Dad had
some horses with him that he was traded. And you know,
(22:06):
there was two things about him, but one the attention
to detail. He knew everything about ever horse. Anytime he
talked to Dad, Yeah we galloped out this, we did that,
He just knew it. It was amazing his detail. If
you've ever paid attention to the barns over at Churchill,
the first thing he did when he comes to town
is they landscaped the barn and put in flyers and
(22:29):
shrubs and everything. Nobody does that back of there, you know,
little things like that. But he done a favor for
my dad. Derby week em and Horning come over here
sitting in the middle var showroom and said shot a
commercial and said you just saw that I'm a champion
and said something about carry Forward being a champion. This
commercial is set to rud at. The first commercial breaks
(22:53):
after the Kentucky Derby. Thundergulch wins the Derby for Lucas
and then the commercial runs.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Look at that. That's called timing. Hey, yes, good things
happen to good people for sure, and that's Carriage Forward.
Go to carriageforward dot com. We still have the a
plan or is that in the review?
Speaker 5 (23:14):
We're going to the sebventh buddy, So we got five
more days. We won't be here on the fourth. Happy
fourth July to all the listeners and all our customers
over the years. You know, get together with family, be safe,
don't stick your hands in the fire fit, and you know,
just be proud of what we got here in America.
We got to maybe start focusing on that and not
(23:34):
what we don't have.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That's exactly right, that's a good sentiment in veterans. One
thousand dollars extra off if you have served or have served.
That's another one for Carriage Forward because they give back
and family and family Carriage Forward. It's best by a
coach your Mile Bardi book.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
We love you buddy, Thanks brother, Love you guys.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah see you man awesome A lot of people, Gus,
you covered the Derby so many years. How much did
you deal with d Wayne Lucas.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
I never got to know him very well, but I
got to know him a little bit. The one amazing
thing about him is he was at that track very
very early every morning, like three o'clock right three thirty.
Is if you were there at three thirty, he was
there before you. I'm like, I don't know how you
do that.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
But he was always out on that track at five am.
Derby week, you'd see him out there and he was
out there on his horse. Even this year, he was
out there mounted on the horse watching his horses work
five am in the morning. I go, and you're doing
that when you're in your late eighties. Ago, that is
dedication to the sport. Always a fine gentleman whenever I
met him, because he was kind of a larger than
(24:42):
life character. Oh yeah, you know, I'm just some young guy.
I want to go up and meet him, and he
was very nice. He was kind of brash years ago.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
He kind of established horse.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Racing, you know, the royalty of it a little bit
with the trainers now, the people that we all follow now,
the Baffords of the world that we think, well, you know,
the Wayne Lucas kind of set that standard there. He
was the one that came out of the in the
big nice suit with the rose on getting.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Out of the catch cowboy hat. Yeah, he was. He
was that figure and he will be missed for sure.
You need those characters in any sport, absolutely uh And
and Bob Bafford was one of those too, you know,
the sunglasses, in the in the in the in the
bleach blonde whatever, not bleep blawn, but gray hair. He
always had. Ladies love Bob Bafford for sure. But you
(25:32):
need those sort of characters.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
And he's back.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
But thoughts and prayers to the Lucas family and and
everybody involved in that. I don't know what they're gonna
do at Churchill Downs. I know they have to do something.
I don't know if they do a statue like they
did John Asher, which maybe John Asher's statue may be
the greatest statue I've ever seen.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
It's spectacular. Put him put put a statue there with
John Asher and it's I can't remember who else? Is
it Matt Win that's next?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yes, yes, him talking to Matt Win, two of the
most influential people in Churchill Down's history.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
But they did the one of d Wayne Lucas. He
did so much, yeah, in the eighties and the nineties
for this sport. And and think about all the trainers
that are out there that he has pushed forward, you
know forward. They had a meeting of lifting up sure, Yeah,
several years ago during Derby Week of all the trainers
that he has brought out there and that he, you know,
helped nourish and move along.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
There's no doubt. And that will tell you and Bobby
Night were good friends. That is surprising to me.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah, I heard that.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yes, I really de Way Lucas he could act like
Bobby back in the eighties or nineties. I remember covering
the whole thing and and you know, he'd make the
TV guys wait, he'd sit in his office and he
you know, and they're all waiting out there. They got
deadlines and stuff, and de Wayne Lucas to be like, yeah,
they can wait. I'll come out there.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
What it.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
You know, that's when you're you know, that's when you're
eyes society and you're like, yeah, they can wait. I
I love him, man, But thoughts and prayers to the
whole family, and I hope they do something out of
Churchill doownds. They can't imagine that they won't. All right,
we're gonna take a short break and wrap it up
here on a crazy show. Dwight cut off his his
