Oh, this sound reminds me every time I leave the
studio in your mind or it's click at or skip it? Dave,
which one is it? Why it's click it or skip
at work? I give you gossip headlines.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
And you guys tell me if you want to click
on those headlines or skip them.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Let's do it, hence the name Let's do It headline.
Tyra Banks reveals her home burned.

Speaker 3 (00:24):

Unfortunately, Tyra revealed on Australia's Sunrise Morning Show that she
and her partner Lewis Belanger Montaigne looking good, less, feeling good,
lost their La home in the recent wildfire. She also
share she hadn't looked to talk about it publicly until now.
I just didn't want to pull a lot of attention
toward me.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Quote.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
We were at a friend's house here and we were
celebrating and having fun. I kept checking my phone, she shared,
saying she was checking on her friends and family. Then
it became a parent that their home was lost. We
went home, we cried, We had our moment.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
A lot of people have lost their homes and a
lot of people are saying they're not going back, especially
the people that don't have the money to go back.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Well, think about the people that do the workload on
construction is going to be so huge, and you know.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
It takes two years of permits in California. I get it.
But then they're gonna have to fast track stuff they
want to get it done. And most of those houses
on in Malibu will be high dollar remodels. Okay, so
if you're a construction worker or remodeler, you're going to
jump off other jobs and go to the high dollar
one because you're gonna make more money.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
I think it's gonna pull a contractor a small cross
the nation.

true story from her and her bodyguard was really old.
What's up, Bobby Brown?

Speaker 2 (02:31):
So he shared a behind the scenes photo from their
time filming The Bodyguard. He also shared some kind words
for his co star, saying, this photo reminds me of
how lucky I am to be getting another birthday. We
lost such a light when we lost Whitney. The photo

How would the world be different if Will Smith got
together with Whitney Houston?

Speaker 1 (03:06):

He plays the sharpshooter is he's the goofy brother. And
then from that he went on this role of the

bet she's dancing with the stars or something.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
She is skipping nice people give her the ick? Skip
no click on it. I want to hear this insane
woman click on it.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Most people would appreciate being teamed up with a nice perth,
but Cheryl Burke was exactly the opposite. The Dancing with
the Stars pro admitted I'm the oldish pod pod podcast
that it's a radio show with less revenue.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
When she was partnered up with a nice celebrity, they
gave her the ick. She explained that because of severe
childhood trauma and abuse. Quote, I remember feeling so disgusted
when I would have a nice dance partner. Let's say,
who would treat me with respect? Now, that's how much
I hated myself to the point where I was disgusted
by people who were nice to me. I didn't think
I deserve that kind of treatment. It was so foreign

(11:16):
to me. It gave me the ick.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
What is the twenty four hour a day nightmare dating
this woman? No kidding, it's just every day. She likes
nice people, hates nice people being nice to me. No
hate me. Don't be nice. I mean serious.

set up the no coverage, but thank you for stepping
on it. Uh. So it was so brag I mean seriously,

Come on? And and sure enough it took off. People
are like, that is crazy. Zuckerberg looked our Robert Kennedy looked.
Everyone looked, and I don't know, I'm sorry. There were
plenty of women that had eyeballs on it. So it

Speaker 1 (13:49):
It's for men, it's almost impossible.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Well, you know what it wasn't about yesterday wasn't just
about her and showing off. It was about that family
making great memories.

Speaker 1 (14:00):

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Exactly what my kid Rock turned fifty fifty four last week.
Robert James Ritchie.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
The kid Rock.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Same age, really, Robert Jim and Elin and Edland five
nine nine twenty eight hundred. They'll sell your home for
just one percent commission rate. Keep all the equity in
your home. That's right. It's five hundred thousand dollars house
between twelve and fifteen thousand dollars. You keep when you

(16:51):
think about that, or you could give it to a
real estate agent. Rules of change and Elin and Eland
had been on top of it. They've been doing this
one percent commissionerate for six or seven years. They've been
opened for forty six years. Give him a call five
nine nine twenty eight hundred to go to edlind dot com.
They have a sliding scale seller buyer and you slide.
You slide it to the number of the house, how

(17:13):
much the house is, and you'll find out how much
you're gonna keep. Eland dot com. Maybe I can buy
a house right near the nug golden nugget. Of course,
Dwight is outside and he needs to come in and
talk about the nug It is in Hike's point. They
a couple of years ago remodel it. So if you're
hearing this for the first time, that's why you do that.
It's not your daddy's nug No, it is not your

(17:34):
daddy's Golden Nugget. So Dwight usually is wandering around the
Golden Nugget drinking tequila and they usually have a great band.
But it is totally revamped, remodeled, They gutted it and
the place has been around over one hundred years. He
used to go dumpster diving in the old nug I did.
There was if there was the dance floor and then
a long hallway to the back door, and there was

(17:56):
the trash can or dumpster in the back, and you
know how you can slide that door on the side.
We used to dance to her sweaty and then somebody
say dumpster dive and then you would run down the hallway,
try not to hit anybody in line at the at
the restrooms, and then dive into the dumpster and you
never got caught up by ball every once in a while.
Ye oh yeah, yeah. Well that was the prices, the

(18:16):
price you pay. But it's way classic, way class year
than when we were there. Golden Nuggets Radio eight forty
w h as you know whose intro music that is
Greg Galliad from the Louisville Bats. As we move forward
and you're thinking why they haven't Greg gaillyad a Louisville
bad I'll tell you why.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Because this Friday night bats baseball is bat No.

Speaker 6 (18:39):
Buddy's so tired of the cold. Oh, I want to
think warm at baseball.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
That's right, bringing up.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
But you know what, bring training next month?

Speaker 6 (18:47):
How about that right around Valentine's Day? He's coming.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Okay, So I want to get back because this got
announced when I was in Cobbo saying Lucas in December.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Hang on, let's get to what it is. First, Reds.
You're in town Friday night.

Speaker 6 (18:58):
Friday Night Red's Caravan returned in the Louisville slugger Field,
five point thirty pm. Free event, free, It's free. Great
chance to come some of the coaches, players of the Reds,
some of their front office people. Here's here's our list
we have coming in. The new manager of the Reds,
Terry francona two time World Series, two time World Series

(19:22):
champion manager for the Boston Red Sox and four and seven.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (19:26):
Terry happened to play for the Louisville Redbirds back in nineteen.
We didn't and I chatted with Terry at the Winter
Baseball meetings in Dallas back in December. The quickest thing
that came to mind with about his playing days here
is he kept talking about the female convicts that used
to clean Cardinals Stadium after nineteen ninety after the game.
So well, Terry, that's an interesting memory. But he's excited

(19:48):
to come here. He has never been to Louisville slugger
Field a reason. Yeah, Cardinal Stadium. I got a feeling
I'll be taking him on a tour of the ballpark
game before or after the event. The red also picked
up this offseason all star catcher Jose Travino from the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Nice.

Speaker 6 (20:04):
He will be here for the caravan visits. Outfielder Jacob Herdabies,
who split time between Louisville and the Reds last year.
Great kid, former Army cadet in the military, he'll be here.
The President of Baseball Operations, basically the general manager of
the Reds, Nick Krawl will be here. And last, but

(20:25):
not least, Corky Millerer.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
You buried the lady. You got a star of Corky
Miller who popular. This is a huge statement, but I
think it's joy the popular player to ever play for
CAD's down.

Speaker 6 (20:42):
If there was a Davis.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yes, I was watching a game at and Why at
Slugger Field one night, and when Corky was still playing
and they tried to slide into first and he's.

Speaker 4 (20:54):
He came up shy. So they started crawling to the
base and wound to love the guy.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Man you yes.

Speaker 6 (21:02):
Live now, he lives up in the Chicago area. But
Corky is the only Bats player that we've ever retired their.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Number, I guarantee.

Speaker 6 (21:10):
So when people used to come in and look up
and see that purple number eight, they go, watch you
guys retire Lamar Jackson's number here, I go, no, No,
that's that's with the Bats back in the day.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
I almost want I gotta come just to get a
picture with Corky.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
Of course, right, But Terry Francona is a big deal.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yeah that is.

Speaker 6 (21:28):
He's a game changer for the Reds, a two time
World Series winning manager. And how they get him, good question.
But I'm glad they did. And he's excited to be there,
and I know a lot of Reds fans are excited
to have him. So again, Red's Caravan comes this Friday
night to Louislle Sluggerfield five point thirty will be the
start of event. They'll have a Q and A it's free.
And then right after the Q and A. Of course,

(21:49):
what everybody wants autographs atune to get autograph from all
these guys. And if you want more information, just go
to bats baseball dot com. I'm right there on the
front page.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
Am I remembering this wrong?

Speaker 3 (21:59):
Or did Corky Miller also ended up being a catcher's
coach for the Cincinnata Reds.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
He is.

Speaker 6 (22:06):
He's basically a roving catching instructor for the so he's
still with us. So he's still with the Reds. That's
what he does. And what was interesting when we had
the Bluegress World Series back in twenty eighteen, Quirky hadn't
played for several years, walks right up and hits a
home run. Wow, so he still had it took a
while to get around the bases.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
But Marky Miller, Baby.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
He's quite the character. Yeah again, Red's Caravan coming this
Friday night at Louisville Slugger Field.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
The game is about to be changed yet again. Sorry
the pun, but there is a construction idea that is
I'm asking you this question because I don't know whether
we saw the plans for what you want to put
in basically all of the parking lots that you have
next to between the Expressway and Slugger Field. And when

(22:56):
you unveiled it a couple of months ago or weeks ago,
I said, that is a game changer. And it's got hotel,
it's got condos, restaurants, bars, everything in there. It would
be beautiful. Is this a pipe dream or do you
think this will happen?

Speaker 6 (23:14):
Well, first, let's phrase it by using the word proposed. Yeah,
it's still in a proposed state. But I think there's
a good chance this is going to happen. And it
would be exciting because having gone through opening up Little
slugger Field back in two thousand, even though it is proposed,
and the people I've been talking to the last six
seven weeks about it, you can just feel the energy

(23:35):
that you can hear it in people's voices. It would
basically make Louisville Slugger Field kind of like the hub
of downtown like it was in two thousand when we
open the ballparking question. We were put there basically to
see if something would take at that part of downtown
because it was all vacant buildings and warehouses at the
time and now go down there. Yeah, I mean it's
a complete neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (23:56):
Knulu would have never happened. The Young Center would probably
have never opened in twenty ten if we hadn't proven
in two thousand that something could happen down where you
could take your families and kids at night time and have.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
A good time. That's a fact. But this is so exciting.

Speaker 6 (24:11):
And yes, folks, the first thing people ask me about
is parking. You're taking all your parking away. No, we're
actually going to replace the surface lot with two large
parking garages that are going to provide more parking than
we currently have there in that space. Plus, like you
said it, proposed condominium apartments, boutique hotel, restaurants, retail. Oh dude,

(24:33):
there's still things that are being discussed about possibly doing
some stuff on the outside and in the inside of
Louisville Slugger Field as part of this project. The project
cost is now climbing over three hundred million dollars, all
being taken care of by the new ownership of the Bats,
and that's Diamond Baseball Holding. So we're keeping our fingers crossed.
We're hoping this thing does get approved because I think

(24:54):
it'll be a big boom to downtown Louisville where will
create that bridge between New lou Yes Water.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
It connects, it connects. But I also see you have
a home stand through the weekend and we're going to
stay at the hotel and shot. You know, we can
shop and then go over for the game, come back
for dinner, and then the next day, not going, but
get up, go back over to the game because it's
connected to the stadium. It is I was. I'm so

(25:23):
excited for this because we were all there in the
early two thousands when you opened up and it proved
that people would go past East Market Street and it
was it was a huge deal, and I think this
will do the same. I'm so happy for you. Is
this something else that they might do in other ballparks.

Speaker 6 (25:39):
Well, we are the first of the Diamond baseball holding
venues that they own that are going to try this
real estate development project, and there's already talk of doing
it with some of the other clubs they've purchased. They
are now up to owning forty two different minor league teams,
including the Bats.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (25:54):
So they have a great partnership with Major League Baseball.
People are asking how does major League Baseball at these
guys own this many clubs. Well, they have a great
working relationship. Right Our team store right now, if you
walk out of the stadium right now, is basically gutted
and it's basically getting ready to be renovated. And that's
because of a partnership that our ownership group has with Fanatics.

(26:15):
Fanatics is now going to take over the design of
our team store wow as part of their partnership with
Diamond Baseball.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Their distribution is in Firdale. I think they're a big warehouse,
right Yeah.

Speaker 6 (26:25):
So you'll see great quality Matt's gear in the team
store coming up for this season is just another part
of this partnership and it'll just continue to grow. And
it's a great time to be a baseball fan and
to be I think going and enjoying that area downtown.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Greg galliad president of the Bats, is in here with us,
and you all have so many great promotions every weekend.
I mean that's what every weekday and weekend, you always
got something going on. I know that you can't talk
about a lot of it, but can you talk about
some of the promotions.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
You're working on it as well.

Speaker 6 (26:59):
Since Stave Jennings is right here with us. Dave's favorite
promotion is the opening beer of course.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yes, facts.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
We opened Friday night March twenty eighth. Yes, folks, that's
March twenty eighth, So we will pay a little keeping
my fingers crossed, but three dollars beer that night our
happy hour. Now move from Thursdays, we're moving over to
Friday nights for the wh Yeah, so it'll be partnering
with number one Margaritas night Stop. Every Friday night, you'll

(27:30):

you'll also have six dollars Margarita's.

Speaker 1 (27:36):

Speaker 6 (27:40):
Talk yeah, fire works opening night the next day, how
about this? This is cool. The next day we're actually
going to be playing the first three games against the
Memphis Redbirds. That's where the Redbirds went.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Shut the front door.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
So this will be like an uncomfortable plane ride between
my axe and my wife.

Speaker 6 (28:00):
Here's the cool thing. We went to Major League Baseball
this fall and said, hey, will you let us play
as the old Louisville Redbirds on Saturday afternoon against the
Memphis Redbirds. We have Redbirds versus Redbirds. Even better, they're
gonna let us play in our old Redbird jerseys. I
love that so and it's also we're treating that Saturday,
our second game of the year as kids opening Day.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
So I think I got one old I got an
old jersey in my closet.

Speaker 6 (28:27):
Our Redbirds gear still sells really well.

Speaker 1 (28:29):

Savannah Bananas. Yeah, there's the thing there on the side
of demand.
