Speaker 1 (00:06):
Oh I'm sorry, bag number why my bad, bad.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Susan and I were watching a television show that came
out like Them twenty eighteen or something, and she goes, hey, look,
skinny pop. I thought she had some of the basement.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Got you excited?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It was on the television. I think those skinny pop's
been around that long.

Got you excited?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
All right?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Folks? Uh, the State Fair opens today. Are you a
weekend or a weekday guy? When it comes to the
State Fair?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I'm a weekend guy. My mother she will be out
there today. I got to tell you. For a woman
in her fifties, she stays so freaking active.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah she is. She's everywhere, no stop. Yeah, I'm thinking
of Jackie and I don't work out. It could be
some dating there.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
She Hey, man, that's what mother you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I think being your stepdad could turn you around.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
She like every day she will like post pictures of
her watch. She has like a smart watch.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah, it's got like eighteen.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Thousand steps on it every single day?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yes, how many?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Like eighteen thousand she's used between sixteen and eighteen thousand
a day.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Do you have skinny calves? I know now one of
them is.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Well, one of them is I've always had. If you
see me naked and.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
You have, yeah, Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
It looks like that. I swap legs with a canary
and I lost my ass in the deal.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Well, John, it's more accurate if you took a potato
and put two toothpicks in the bottom.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, that's it, mister potato head with two toothpicks.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, it's pretty accurate.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I look like an DIRV.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Put some little blonde like little little yellow card what
do they call those? A little pick construction paper? Put
that on top of the potato head as well for
his hair.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, and I'm round on the top of it. So
I look like just an ore derve that has two
toothpicks in it.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Studies saying that the size of your calves can predict
how long you're gonna live. I actually have some friends
that have just fat, fat calves.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I know something that they don't know. They never work out,
do anything. They got herschel Walker calves.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
It used to be me. I don't know if I
have them anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Though, And I feel sorry for women that have cankles.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I don't know, I think cankles are hot.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Do you think cankles are hot?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Gosh, I put peanut butter on there.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And poor women that have cankles like one hundred years ago,
because your ankles is the only thing you could show,
like if you shoot ankles, Like did you see your ankles?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Oh my, good luck getting married.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
That's where foot finishes came from.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Oh my gosh, you see that, you know what?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
That's possibly Several recent studies suggest that body size, particularly
the height and waste to calf ratio, can predict how
long you'll live. Research shows that shorter people tend to
live longer.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yeah, and the wind goes to John Alden, Yes, with
each additional inch of height increasing death risk by almost two.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Point two by okay, starting what hid though? What's the
baseline on this study?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Like that's a good question. Five that they don't happen.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Five seven and a half something.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Like that, five seven and a half and a half.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Hey, how many how is your kid three hundred and
seventeen months? What?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
People with a healthy waist to calf ratio averages two
point four while pre diabetic patients have two point six
and diabetics two point seven. Your calves are more telling
than you think.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
So I've got skinny calves. What's that tell about me?
I'm gonna die or not? Doc No, I think I
think take it. I think you're okay. I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I think you're okay. You're okay, and I'm right. We're right.
You and I are right in the middle. We're six
feet tall right there, right at the number. So I
think that's average for gen X. I don't know what
happened to the generation behind us, but it seems like
when I would go to go over to Trinity and
see John or whatever, it's like every kid was six
foot four. It's just like, what the hell is going
on here?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's the damn hormones from the milk.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
That's what I heard.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
It was in the chicken. They put hormones in the chicken.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I gotta get vision first.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
These sucked. Yeah, you got to go to Vision first program.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Well. On Monday, two members of the House Judiciary Committee
sent letters to the commissioners of the NFL, the NBA, NHL,
and Major League Baseball what fur They're asking for information
concerning the cost and the efficiency of watching sporting events
when it comes to the streaming era, and I'm with
them on this. Hear me out on this. I normally
(04:36):
don't think government needs to be getting in the boy,
but here we go. The next day, Republican Jim Jordan
couldn't confirm if the committee would be asking officials from
the league to appear at the hearing, But the focal
point is on how streaming service competition has made it
so difficult for fans to follow their team because it's
(04:58):
now streaming on multiple platform oh platform. For example, if
you have NFL Direct ticket, you don't get certain games
like for exactly right, because I used to buy an
NFL Direct ticket and I would get the New York
Giants every single Sunday, but it wouldn't get served to
me if favors being shown on my local station in
(05:20):
my market. Okay, now you have Amazon that has Sunday
what do they.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Have night game?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But then they also pick up a bonus Thanksgiving or
Christmas game now.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And the problem with that is that after the season starts,
it's a flex so they can choose one of the
really nice, really good games that you want to watch. Yeah, Okay,
so they can flex out of that. So let's say
you're now playing Thursday.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Here's the answer I think is you know, because you
gotta watch add your adswer you're watching You're watching these
paid uh football games, right, but you're watching ads anyway.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, I don't mind, don't mind.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I don't mind anyway. But I'm just saying, isn't that
some form of double the NFL ticket?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Also, why do they not let you just pick your
team and pay seventy bucks?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I thought that's the way it was going on.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I thought so too. I thought they had mentioned that well.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I thought that NFL you couldn't have done this when
when satellite TV came out that was they had the
rights to NFL. And to tell you truth, I bet
direct TV didn't make much off the NFL.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Because the NFL took most of it because NFL.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Let me tell you, I mean, when you shut down
a church because the television is too big at your
studay was.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It was two inches too big In the NFL, they
did it. They did it on purpose to send a
message because everyone ran with the story. It was just
like the NFL attacked to church because their TV was
too big.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
But my point being is NFL. They their contracts always
lean towards them, so I'm guessing Direct TV probably didn't
make anything off Direct ticket, but they had some as
a result.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
No one predict though, that NFL would be the only
live television people are watching. Like who could have predicted
that fifteen years ago?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I might have because when I was sold of advertising, Yes,
when it came to television, which was our competitor, correct,
I told them this to every client, Yes, add television
to your radio schedule, but make sure it's where people
are watching. And I recommend NFL because people are watching
real time and local news. Yes, and that's all I did.
(07:32):
But now local news people get it on their phone,
and that's where I was going. With the Direct TV
having the rights to it. At the time, it wouldn't
make sense because streaming it was rudimentary and you would
try to stream something it would freeze up. If you remember,
streaming was not that fun when it first came out. No,
it was quite frustrating. But now it runs so smoothly.
(07:56):
What's preventing the NFL from doing that, Tony? Because yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Know, absolutely, but well, here's the thing. They're getting a
billion dollars at least from every partner. So if if
Prime's in, it's a billion dollar deal. If Netflix is
in and it's a billion dollar deal, they're not They're
not letting you do a U of L Gay or
U L NFL game if it's not less than a
billion dollars. That's why they are. They're on top. And
(08:21):
it's not even close. And really, how many years do
you have to go back? That's the number one, number
one watched live television event every single year is Sunday
Night Football. It's Sunday Night Football.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
It ever comes close as every four years when the
debates are going on, That's about the thing.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I don't even know if does that come close? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
People, yeah, yeah, there's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
But seriously, I mean, if you've got to watch NFL
in real time, because that if you're if you're an
NFL fan and you follow the Bills or whoever it
might be, that information is going to slip out more.
It's gonna quicker than Andy, oh for sure. You know, yeah, yeah,
because people are going, Wow, get on social media on
a Sunday, a Monday night, on a Thursday night, and
(09:10):
it dominates your feet and you're gonna see scores.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I gotta tell you, we are a family that that
is the deal. Sundays in the fall are NFL. We
look up the games earlier in the week.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
What do we have?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
What can we watch? If we can't see one, we'll
go to a place to watch it. But mostly it
is doing things around the house and watching football all
day long. And then when we go upstairs, you know,
we always have it. We're so typical, stereotypical. We have
our laptops, we're working on the next day and we're
watching Sunday night football and it's always a good matchup.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I can't believe that you have never gotten the direct
ticket because when I watched the NFL, I had it
every year for fifteen years straight. Just start watching my
New Giants, and it dominated my Sunday. I mean I
would after church, I'd be on that couch all the
way through Sunday night. Well, Sunday night football was upstairs
and bedroom too. But if a third game, and let's
(10:03):
let's face it.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
A lot, I don't want to watch the Titans.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
A lot of our local market games.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Game, I don't want to watch the Colts.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Okay, oh guess who's on. I don't know the Bengals,
the Titans are the Colts.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I don't, and a lot of times it's the Colts
versus the Bengal and Joe Burrell at least made the
Bengals kind of cool. But before that you were just
like the Bengals and the Colts. Seriously, but you're in Louisville,
that's the market. But since Lamar Jackson, they have cleared
Baltimore for the Baltimore Ravens for the Louisville market. So
many times they're almost on TV and Louisville every single weekend.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
So the point being is the luck of the draw?
They said, you know, there's a term out there at
any given Sunday, And that's true, any given Sunday, any
team could be another team. And if you pick a
game that number one is boring to you as the viewer,
and then it gets lopsided. You know, I can't believe
you haven't got anyway. It looks like that there is
going to be some type of hearings. Their concerned is
(10:59):
the t Trust Protection Act that is being afforded to
them by the sports broken.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
They can't do anything. What is the government going to do?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I mean, come on, it's the NFL.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Let's let's keep it on the government. President Trump, okay,
what was that was a du thing?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
A little thing?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Describe your symptoms? Are I gotta get sick again?
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Or no?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
No, no no. I'm the one to watch his e r.
I can die self, diagnose myself.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Do you want me to just like check you give
your okay? All right? President Trump yesterday announced the twenty
twenty five Kennedy Center Honors. Here's the recipients. Okay, I
think President Trump?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh, Donald, I mean Sly invest on.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Hey, Richard, here's a gibble for man.
Speaker 1 (11:50):

Speaker 2 (11:51):

Dance to put in I guess they're running out of band,
so they put Kiss in.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
We need to run out of bands.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I mean, the Kiss has been very popular. I used
to be part of the army, but they are. They're
a cartoon. They're a cartoonish they're not so what are
they gonna do? Spin up blood on the on the
floor of the Center.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
They might. You don't know that.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
We'll call the Kissy Center store choiled.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I mean, come on, uh so, Sylvester Sloane Kiss, Gloria Gaynor,
who's done this show, Michael Crawford, and then also George.
Speaker 1 (13:09):

Speaker 2 (13:28):
And he said, Gloria Gaynors, I will survive, gets better
every time, better every time. Fantastic show. Kiss. He said, uh,
they do something very special at the ceremony and praised
Crawford's Phantom of the Opera role. That's why we don't
know him. He's a Broadways musical star.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I guess I tell you you're a big Broadway guy.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Well I do. I like to stopping myself right here.
Trump celebrated George Strait's country career, saying he's beloved by
hundreds of millions worldwide. I agree with him on that
thing about this. George Strait has over sixty over sixty
number one hits. Believe, yeah, sixty. How incredible is that?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
He is kind of great.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Here's what I'm saying. George Strait is the Greg galliad
of country music.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Who chooses the Kennedy Award nominee or not nominee. The
president does. Oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I'm sorry, I should know that, should do that. Maybe
he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Well that's true, then this list makes sense.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Kiss, I'll look that up.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Rainbow h.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Want to Yeah, yeah, it's not even close to Trump.
You never do Trump, never ever ever do Trump.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
There's an honors advisory committee that chooses. But apparently Trump
was very involved in this.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Oh yes, I had to map security, go to maps
residential dot com as as I told you, talk to
the police the other day, and they had four car
teams or three in each car. Four teams and they
were working the entire neighborhood the other night. In my neighborhood,
we saw cops running around with flashlights about five in
the morning the other night, and they're just checking doors
(15:16):
on cars and trying to break in the houses. They're
trying to steal guns if somebody leaves a gun in
their cars, so they can use it in murders. They
also want to get in your house. It used to
be that people that broke in the houses, it was
a mill of the day. They knew you weren't home.
They wanted to get a TV or something to buy
some drugs with it or whatever. Right, But now they're
just brazen. They do whatever at any time of the night,
in the middle of the night, when you're sleeping in
(15:36):
your bed. What you need is Maps Security. They're coming
over next week to install. I'm making it Fort Knox

it with basically guys that played for the Louisvelle Bats.
So that's a lot of fun to watch too.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
It's exciting, and I can see how excited you are.
You've worked for a lot of ownerships groups. What do
you compare this new ownership group with with experiences that
you had before.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
It's funny. I feel like I've gone full circle because
I started out my career working at Xerox. When I
got on the University of Louisville right and gone full
circle because this group, the Diamond Baseball Holdings group that
currently owns it's very corporate, but it's.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
So cool having the resources that we have amen.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
And the ability to tap into forty other baseball teams
at the minor league level and talk over various promotional
ideas and things, what worked, what didn't work, And it's
like almost being in a fraternity yeah, and exchanging ideas.
So it's been a lot of fun. It's been it's
kept me young. It's been something neat that's come here
at the end of my career to experience and looking
(25:19):
forward to the future with these guys.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I talk about the luxury seats at Slugger field Man
because those things.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
I was just on w DRB's morning show this morning
and Chris Suiter interviewed me. And Chris had just come
the last homestand with his family and sat down there
and he was just taken up back by the conversations
that you hear sitting that close to the field. Yes,
but because Pat Kelly got thrown out that night.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Look just sitting there and look, okay, just the size
of the seat, just the comfort of the seat and
be able to hear. I mean you are literally closer
to the batter and the catcher than the picture is. Yep,
you are. But also the amenities, your own restroom.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
All you can eat, buffet down there all you can
drink beer and wine. We've had a few bachelor parties
who have enjoyed this guarantee amenities and they've had a
great time.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
But what a great you know, get for a client.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Oh yeah, it's almost like having a mini suite.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
You get all the amenities except your outdoors and you're
right against the field.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Look, I love the suite. The suits are beautiful, but
they are but down in during you're in the action.
A lot of times when you're in a suite, you
don't really pay attention to the game. People are talking
to you. This would be perfect.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Oh yeah, last question before you get out of here.
They when is the construction for You're gonna build two
parking garages on either side and then condos.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
And business coming.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
So as soon as the actually.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
We're blessed to have with us this past Sunday for
our game, Governor Bashar came awesome. We chatted for a while.
He's well up to date on everything that's going on
with our real estate development project and we're just going
through all the permitting and stuff right now. It's taking place.
It's it's gonna be some time next season when you'll
start me personally, I'm almost would rather just do it
after our seasons over next year, right, and do a
(27:08):
lot of the work in the off season going into
the fall of twenty six. I'm kind of hoping that's
where it goes, but it's coming.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
It is a if you don't know, this project is
going to be condos and restaurants.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
And boutique motel. Yes, almost two parking garages, which will
actually give Sluger Field more parking than we currently have
in that surface lot that it's going to be replacing.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yeah, I rarely parking that anyway. I always parking on
the street.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
We're having New lou Night coming up here, our next
homestand and just to already start to interact with a
lot of those businesses over in New lou as we
become that neighbor even more so and create that bridge
between the New lou neighborhood and the waterfront, we become
that connection point. It just takes me back and I
can feel the energy similar to nineteen ninety nine when
(27:53):
Sluggerfield was starting to rise up out of the ground
and became the hub of downtown and became the catalyst
for the Young Center to be ten years later and
for everything else. It's taking place in downtown.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Absolutely life.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
It's kind of we're going back full circle. But it's
pretty neat.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, it is, because it could connect everything even from
you've now partnered with the soccer guys for for a
certain extent. So the and the botanical gardens are there
in the waterfront, and there's so many events going on downtown.
You put a hotel on the site where where bats are,
it's going to be.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
I've talked to the hotel people that are going to
be moving in there. Yeah, and they're excited and it's
a very nice hotel. It'll it'll do very well. Why
wouldn't they be I mean, think about it. You got
slugger Field right there, you got Angels and me they're
building boutiques.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I had a conversa Angels Mbies across street.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah. I had a conversation with somebody. Uh the developer says, yeah,
Whiskey Alley is coming back. Then they are bringing Whiskey
Alley back, And that's right there. This is cool. This
might be the entertainment district. It might be.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I bet you that hotel has booked for people going Angels.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
M Well, here's the cool thing. Yeah, the connection point
between the golf house, the Young Center, all the way
down to us and I think in the next ten
years maybe all the way down to soccer. It's just
going to be unbelievable what you're going to see develop
along that stretch. And that's where a lot of the
excitement's going to take place, I think in the community,
in the downtown community for the next ten years.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Well, again, I know you're a big skateboarder, so I
know that you hit that skate park all the stars.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
On my knees.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Yeah, especially the bird scooters. I love those two.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Oh, don't get me started.

They it's a huge facility for retirees. If you're over
sixty five, you're in and the pricing is just right.

everything in a normal place for a retiree. Has plus

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Susan and I were watching a television show that came

skinny pop. I thought she had some of the basement.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Got you excited?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It was on the television. I think those skinny pop's
been around that long.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Got you excited?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
All right?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Folks? Uh, the State Fair opens today. Are you a
weekend or a weekday guy? When it comes to the
State Fair?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I'm a weekend guy. My mother she will be out
there today. I got to tell you. For a woman
in her fifties, she stays so freaking active.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah she is. She's everywhere, no stop. Yeah, I'm thinking
of Jackie and I don't work out. It could be
some dating there.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
She Hey, man, that's what mother you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I think being your stepdad could turn you around.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
She like every day she will like post pictures of
her watch. She has like a smart watch.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah, it's got like eighteen.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Thousand steps on it every single day?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yes, how many?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Like eighteen thousand she's used between sixteen and eighteen thousand
a day.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Do you have skinny calves? I know now one of
them is.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Well, one of them is I've always had. If you
see me naked and.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
You have, yeah, Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
It looks like that. I swap legs with a canary
and I lost my ass in the deal.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Well, John, it's more accurate if you took a potato
and put two toothpicks in the bottom.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, that's it, mister potato head with two toothpicks.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, it's pretty accurate.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I look like an DIRV.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Put some little blonde like little little yellow card what
do they call those? A little pick construction paper? Put
that on top of the potato head as well for
his hair.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, and I'm round on the top of it. So
I look like just an ore derve that has two
toothpicks in it.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Studies saying that the size of your calves can predict
how long you're gonna live. I actually have some friends
that have just fat, fat calves.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I know something that they don't know. They never work out,
do anything. They got herschel Walker calves.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
It used to be me. I don't know if I
have them anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Though, And I feel sorry for women that have cankles.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I don't know, I think cankles are hot.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Do you think cankles are hot?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Gosh, I put peanut butter on there.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And poor women that have cankles like one hundred years ago,
because your ankles is the only thing you could show,
like if you shoot ankles, Like did you see your ankles?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Oh my, good luck getting married.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
That's where foot finishes came from.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Oh my gosh, you see that, you know what?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
That's possibly Several recent studies suggest that body size, particularly
the height and waste to calf ratio, can predict how
long you'll live. Research shows that shorter people tend to
live longer.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yeah, and the wind goes to John Alden, Yes, with
each additional inch of height increasing death risk by almost two.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Point two by okay, starting what hid though? What's the
baseline on this study?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Like that's a good question. Five that they don't happen.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Five seven and a half something.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Like that, five seven and a half and a half.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Hey, how many how is your kid three hundred and
seventeen months? What?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
People with a healthy waist to calf ratio averages two
point four while pre diabetic patients have two point six
and diabetics two point seven. Your calves are more telling
than you think.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
So I've got skinny calves. What's that tell about me?
I'm gonna die or not? Doc No, I think I
think take it. I think you're okay. I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I think you're okay. You're okay, and I'm right. We're right.
You and I are right in the middle. We're six
feet tall right there, right at the number. So I
think that's average for gen X. I don't know what
happened to the generation behind us, but it seems like
when I would go to go over to Trinity and
see John or whatever, it's like every kid was six
foot four. It's just like, what the hell is going
on here?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's the damn hormones from the milk.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
That's what I heard.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
It was in the chicken. They put hormones in the chicken.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I gotta get vision first.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
These sucked. Yeah, you got to go to Vision first program.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Well. On Monday, two members of the House Judiciary Committee
sent letters to the commissioners of the NFL, the NBA, NHL,
and Major League Baseball what fur They're asking for information
concerning the cost and the efficiency of watching sporting events
when it comes to the streaming era, and I'm with
them on this. Hear me out on this. I normally
(04:36):
don't think government needs to be getting in the boy,
but here we go. The next day, Republican Jim Jordan
couldn't confirm if the committee would be asking officials from
the league to appear at the hearing, But the focal
point is on how streaming service competition has made it
so difficult for fans to follow their team because it's
(04:58):
now streaming on multiple platform oh platform. For example, if
you have NFL Direct ticket, you don't get certain games
like for exactly right, because I used to buy an
NFL Direct ticket and I would get the New York
Giants every single Sunday, but it wouldn't get served to
me if favors being shown on my local station in
(05:20):
my market. Okay, now you have Amazon that has Sunday
what do they.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Have night game?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But then they also pick up a bonus Thanksgiving or
Christmas game now.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And the problem with that is that after the season starts,
it's a flex so they can choose one of the
really nice, really good games that you want to watch. Yeah, Okay,
so they can flex out of that. So let's say
you're now playing Thursday.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Here's the answer I think is you know, because you
gotta watch add your adswer you're watching You're watching these
paid uh football games, right, but you're watching ads anyway.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, I don't mind, don't mind.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I don't mind anyway. But I'm just saying, isn't that
some form of double the NFL ticket?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Also, why do they not let you just pick your
team and pay seventy bucks?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I thought that's the way it was going on.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I thought so too. I thought they had mentioned that well.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I thought that NFL you couldn't have done this when
when satellite TV came out that was they had the
rights to NFL. And to tell you truth, I bet
direct TV didn't make much off the NFL.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Because the NFL took most of it because NFL.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Let me tell you, I mean, when you shut down
a church because the television is too big at your
studay was.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It was two inches too big In the NFL, they
did it. They did it on purpose to send a
message because everyone ran with the story. It was just
like the NFL attacked to church because their TV was
too big.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
But my point being is NFL. They their contracts always
lean towards them, so I'm guessing Direct TV probably didn't
make anything off Direct ticket, but they had some as
a result.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
No one predict though, that NFL would be the only
live television people are watching. Like who could have predicted
that fifteen years ago?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I might have because when I was sold of advertising, Yes,
when it came to television, which was our competitor, correct,
I told them this to every client, Yes, add television
to your radio schedule, but make sure it's where people
are watching. And I recommend NFL because people are watching
real time and local news. Yes, and that's all I did.
(07:32):
But now local news people get it on their phone,
and that's where I was going. With the Direct TV
having the rights to it. At the time, it wouldn't
make sense because streaming it was rudimentary and you would
try to stream something it would freeze up. If you remember,
streaming was not that fun when it first came out. No,
it was quite frustrating. But now it runs so smoothly.
(07:56):
What's preventing the NFL from doing that, Tony? Because yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Know, absolutely, but well, here's the thing. They're getting a
billion dollars at least from every partner. So if if
Prime's in, it's a billion dollar deal. If Netflix is
in and it's a billion dollar deal, they're not They're
not letting you do a U of L Gay or
U L NFL game if it's not less than a
billion dollars. That's why they are. They're on top. And
(08:21):
it's not even close. And really, how many years do
you have to go back? That's the number one, number
one watched live television event every single year is Sunday
Night Football. It's Sunday Night Football.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
It ever comes close as every four years when the
debates are going on, That's about the thing.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I don't even know if does that come close? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
People, yeah, yeah, there's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
But seriously, I mean, if you've got to watch NFL
in real time, because that if you're if you're an
NFL fan and you follow the Bills or whoever it
might be, that information is going to slip out more.
It's gonna quicker than Andy, oh for sure. You know, yeah, yeah,
because people are going, Wow, get on social media on
a Sunday, a Monday night, on a Thursday night, and
(09:10):
it dominates your feet and you're gonna see scores.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I gotta tell you, we are a family that that
is the deal. Sundays in the fall are NFL. We
look up the games earlier in the week.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
What do we have?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
What can we watch? If we can't see one, we'll
go to a place to watch it. But mostly it
is doing things around the house and watching football all
day long. And then when we go upstairs, you know,
we always have it. We're so typical, stereotypical. We have
our laptops, we're working on the next day and we're
watching Sunday night football and it's always a good matchup.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I can't believe that you have never gotten the direct
ticket because when I watched the NFL, I had it
every year for fifteen years straight. Just start watching my
New Giants, and it dominated my Sunday. I mean I
would after church, I'd be on that couch all the
way through Sunday night. Well, Sunday night football was upstairs
and bedroom too. But if a third game, and let's
(10:03):
let's face it.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
A lot, I don't want to watch the Titans.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
A lot of our local market games.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Game, I don't want to watch the Colts.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Okay, oh guess who's on. I don't know the Bengals,
the Titans are the Colts.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I don't, and a lot of times it's the Colts
versus the Bengal and Joe Burrell at least made the
Bengals kind of cool. But before that you were just
like the Bengals and the Colts. Seriously, but you're in Louisville,
that's the market. But since Lamar Jackson, they have cleared
Baltimore for the Baltimore Ravens for the Louisville market. So
many times they're almost on TV and Louisville every single weekend.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
So the point being is the luck of the draw?
They said, you know, there's a term out there at
any given Sunday, And that's true, any given Sunday, any
team could be another team. And if you pick a
game that number one is boring to you as the viewer,
and then it gets lopsided. You know, I can't believe
you haven't got anyway. It looks like that there is
going to be some type of hearings. Their concerned is
(10:59):
the t Trust Protection Act that is being afforded to
them by the sports broken.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
They can't do anything. What is the government going to do?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I mean, come on, it's the NFL.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Let's let's keep it on the government. President Trump, okay,
what was that was a du thing?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
A little thing?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Describe your symptoms? Are I gotta get sick again?
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Or no?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
No, no no. I'm the one to watch his e r.
I can die self, diagnose myself.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Do you want me to just like check you give
your okay? All right? President Trump yesterday announced the twenty
twenty five Kennedy Center Honors. Here's the recipients. Okay, I
think President Trump?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh, Donald, I mean Sly invest on.
Speaker 2 (11:47):

the police the other day, and they had four car
teams or three in each car. Four teams and they

we saw cops running around with flashlights about five in
the morning the other night, and they're just checking doors
(15:16):
on cars and trying to break in the houses. They're
trying to steal guns if somebody leaves a gun in
their cars, so they can use it in murders. They
also want to get in your house. It used to
be that people that broke in the houses, it was
a mill of the day. They knew you weren't home.
They wanted to get a TV or something to buy
some drugs with it or whatever. Right, But now they're
just brazen. They do whatever at any time of the night,
in the middle of the night, when you're sleeping in

You've worked for a lot of ownerships groups. What do
you compare this new ownership group with with experiences that
you had before.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
It's funny. I feel like I've gone full circle because
I started out my career working at Xerox. When I
got on the University of Louisville right and gone full
circle because this group, the Diamond Baseball Holdings group that
currently owns it's very corporate, but it's.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
So cool having the resources that we have amen.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
And the ability to tap into forty other baseball teams
at the minor league level and talk over various promotional
ideas and things, what worked, what didn't work, And it's
like almost being in a fraternity yeah, and exchanging ideas.
So it's been a lot of fun. It's been it's
kept me young. It's been something neat that's come here
at the end of my career to experience and looking
(25:19):
forward to the future with these guys.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I talk about the luxury seats at Slugger field Man
because those things.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
I was just on w DRB's morning show this morning
and Chris Suiter interviewed me. And Chris had just come
the last homestand with his family and sat down there
and he was just taken up back by the conversations
that you hear sitting that close to the field. Yes,
but because Pat Kelly got thrown out that night.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Look just sitting there and look, okay, just the size
of the seat, just the comfort of the seat and
be able to hear. I mean you are literally closer
to the batter and the catcher than the picture is. Yep,
you are. But also the amenities, your own restroom.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
All you can eat, buffet down there all you can
drink beer and wine. We've had a few bachelor parties
who have enjoyed this guarantee amenities and they've had a
great time.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
But what a great you know, get for a client.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Oh yeah, it's almost like having a mini suite.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
You get all the amenities except your outdoors and you're
right against the field.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Look, I love the suite. The suits are beautiful, but
they are but down in during you're in the action.
A lot of times when you're in a suite, you
don't really pay attention to the game. People are talking
to you. This would be perfect.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Oh yeah, last question before you get out of here.
They when is the construction for You're gonna build two
parking garages on either side and then condos.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
And business coming.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
So as soon as the actually.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
We're blessed to have with us this past Sunday for
our game, Governor Bashar came awesome. We chatted for a while.
He's well up to date on everything that's going on
with our real estate development project and we're just going
through all the permitting and stuff right now. It's taking place.
It's it's gonna be some time next season when you'll
start me personally, I'm almost would rather just do it
after our seasons over next year, right, and do a
(27:08):
lot of the work in the off season going into
the fall of twenty six. I'm kind of hoping that's
where it goes, but it's coming.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
It is a if you don't know, this project is
going to be condos and restaurants.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
And boutique motel. Yes, almost two parking garages, which will
actually give Sluger Field more parking than we currently have
in that surface lot that it's going to be replacing.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yeah, I rarely parking that anyway. I always parking on
the street.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
We're having New lou Night coming up here, our next
homestand and just to already start to interact with a
lot of those businesses over in New lou as we
become that neighbor even more so and create that bridge
between the New lou neighborhood and the waterfront, we become
that connection point. It just takes me back and I
can feel the energy similar to nineteen ninety nine when
(27:53):
Sluggerfield was starting to rise up out of the ground
and became the hub of downtown and became the catalyst
for the Young Center to be ten years later and
for everything else. It's taking place in downtown.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Absolutely life.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
It's kind of we're going back full circle. But it's
pretty neat.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, it is, because it could connect everything even from
you've now partnered with the soccer guys for for a
certain extent. So the and the botanical gardens are there
in the waterfront, and there's so many events going on downtown.
You put a hotel on the site where where bats are,
it's going to be.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
I've talked to the hotel people that are going to
be moving in there. Yeah, and they're excited and it's
a very nice hotel. It'll it'll do very well. Why
wouldn't they be I mean, think about it. You got
slugger Field right there, you got Angels and me they're
building boutiques.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I had a conversa Angels Mbies across street.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah. I had a conversation with somebody. Uh the developer says, yeah,
Whiskey Alley is coming back. Then they are bringing Whiskey
Alley back, And that's right there. This is cool. This
might be the entertainment district. It might be.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I bet you that hotel has booked for people going Angels.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
M Well, here's the cool thing. Yeah, the connection point
between the golf house, the Young Center, all the way
down to us and I think in the next ten
years maybe all the way down to soccer. It's just
going to be unbelievable what you're going to see develop
along that stretch. And that's where a lot of the
excitement's going to take place, I think in the community,
in the downtown community for the next ten years.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Well, again, I know you're a big skateboarder, so I
know that you hit that skate park all the stars.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
On my knees.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Yeah, especially the bird scooters. I love those two.
Speaker 4 (29:24):

They it's a huge facility for retirees. If you're over
sixty five, you're in and the pricing is just right.

beholden to corporate you know what. So they it is unbelievable.

everything in a normal place for a retiree. Has plus
