<v Speaker 2>to borrow money on it. Ye. Great actor.

104
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.120
<v Speaker 3>But so that's how we got hooked up. But you

00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:49.519
<v Speaker 3>you play, uh.

106
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.079
<v Speaker 4>Disc golf. I played disc now.

107
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 2>And oh is that like some is it frisbee golf?

108
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:56.240
<v Speaker 4>Frisbee golf?

109
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but now it's disc golf.

110
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.319
<v Speaker 5>I guess they call it the golf now. Yeah, I

111
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:01.879
<v Speaker 5>still like to call it frisbee.

112
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.480
<v Speaker 3>Golf, probably trademark.

113
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 2>Well.

114
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:09.000
<v Speaker 5>Actually, the person that started the game of disc golf,

115
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 5>he is the one that created the frisbee back in

116
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:13.759
<v Speaker 5>n Yes.

117
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:18.560
<v Speaker 2>He worked for a sham it was Frank Frisbee okay

118
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:19.920
<v Speaker 2>in eighteen twelve.

119
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:21.839
<v Speaker 4>Okay, yes, true, like they did.

120
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 2>But well, I don't know, I'm mining. So the guy

121
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 2>that invented the frisbee invented frisbee golf, no kidding.

122
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he worked at Whammo. Who is the one that

123
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.000
<v Speaker 5>made the frisbee. It was patented in like nineteen sixty six,

124
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 5>I think something like that. And then from there he

125
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.000
<v Speaker 5>actually left and went and started the PDGA, I believe

126
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 5>around in nineteen seventy five, p DGA PDG.

127
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 3>They tell us all the time, life is simpler back

128
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 3>then it was, and for our generation, it was a toy.

129
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, plastic round brown.

130
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.639
<v Speaker 3>I throw it, it floats through the air and there's

131
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:04.879
<v Speaker 3>somebody over there and they catch it. Well, I'm supposed

132
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.079
<v Speaker 3>to hit that today, Well, you were supposed to catch it.

133
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:08.639
<v Speaker 2>Ultimately, it hits me in the nose every time.

134
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, he would get he would drink four beers

135
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker 3>and then he would try to play as the dog

136
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:14.639
<v Speaker 3>and he'd tried to catch it in his mouth and

137
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.480
<v Speaker 3>he would hit him in the forehead and everyone laugh.

138
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.800
<v Speaker 3>That would be that's worth it. But so where do

139
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:21.560
<v Speaker 3>you play this disc golf?

140
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 5>Well, I actually I got into it just a couple

141
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.199
<v Speaker 5>of years ago and started playing really consistently in twenty

142
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 5>twenty three. But then there weren't a lot of women

143
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.319
<v Speaker 5>that were playing, that was playing here in Louisville, okay,

144
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.800
<v Speaker 5>And I moved up to New Hampshire actually for a

145
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.399
<v Speaker 5>circus program because both my daughter and I we also

146
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.519
<v Speaker 5>have performed in the circus here in town.

147
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.560
<v Speaker 2>And then my friends the New Hearts have a great

148
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>swear to god, you were like the most interesting person

149
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 2>playing right now. It was after that I didn't mention it.

150
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.600
<v Speaker 3>You're either really full of it or the most interesting

151
00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:59.959
<v Speaker 3>person in Louisville that they both okay.

152
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.360
<v Speaker 2>It was it was at that time that NASA called

153
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:03.040
<v Speaker 2>and said.

154
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.959
<v Speaker 3>Hey, no problem, and then we did a thing in

155
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:06.720
<v Speaker 3>the circus.

156
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 2>No, you don't have anything to do. Did you do it? Stop?

157
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:21.480
<v Speaker 4>I did not not? Okay, they head towards NASA.

158
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Now what the hell did you do in the circus?

159
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:25.560
<v Speaker 3>And Emily, how did you get dragged along?

160
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Well?

161
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well we yeah, she was first we started together.

162
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.680
<v Speaker 5>She went to the Waldorf School several years ago when

163
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.319
<v Speaker 5>we got involved in Turner's Circus and then performed like

164
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.639
<v Speaker 5>eight years, seven years for them, and then SIRC Louis.

165
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 2>My friend Jessica carr Uh performs in the circus Turner

166
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Circus and they came in here. I think that's amazing.

167
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.240
<v Speaker 2>And she does like the high silks and all this stuff.

168
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.600
<v Speaker 5>Yes, and both her and I did did stuff like that,

169
00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:55.360
<v Speaker 5>and we moved up to New Hampshire for a circus

170
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.199
<v Speaker 5>program for her senior year so that she could do

171
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.959
<v Speaker 5>the costume design stuff prior to heading to CSU.

172
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a do you have a line that

173
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:05.680
<v Speaker 2>one of us could put the head in? Okay? So

174
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:07.639
<v Speaker 2>is that still the thing? That circus?

175
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:09.560
<v Speaker 3>So when you go on a date, does a guy

176
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.720
<v Speaker 3>ever talk like I'm not saying that, I'm saying like,

177
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:15.680
<v Speaker 3>all she's got to do is go tell me about you.

178
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.439
<v Speaker 3>And then the next thing, you know, I was circus

179
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.040
<v Speaker 3>Puerto Rico, Germany Patriots.

180
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:22.839
<v Speaker 2>You can't say any of that on your first day,

181
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 2>you know that, right because I'm intimidated right.

182
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Now, Noice, no this thank you for telling something. I

183
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:31.399
<v Speaker 3>already look.

184
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I walk around feeling inadequate every single day. But you

185
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.240
<v Speaker 2>opened your mouth and I just shrunk up like a snail.

186
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:39.600
<v Speaker 3>A smart boy would go, I'll sign up for that.

187
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.600
<v Speaker 3>I'll take definitely that. Okay, we'll get off the dating

188
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:46.080
<v Speaker 3>scene unless you want to stay on that disc golf?

189
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:46.879
<v Speaker 3>Where do we play that?

190
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:47.399
<v Speaker 2>Lovell?

191
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:47.960
<v Speaker 4>Okay?

192
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:51.039
<v Speaker 5>So, so how I got to the we moved up

193
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:53.840
<v Speaker 5>to Northeast. There was a huge woman's community up there,

194
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.720
<v Speaker 5>and they really I kind of dabbled in it around here.

195
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.679
<v Speaker 5>I started with the kids at the Waldorf School and

196
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.759
<v Speaker 5>just throwing with them in the yard and playing object golf.

197
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:06.440
<v Speaker 5>We did tree identification through frisbee golf, and I would

198
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.960
<v Speaker 5>have the kids like, pick, you know, an oak tree

199
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:10.039
<v Speaker 5>and make a par three to.

200
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.200
<v Speaker 4>That and that sort of thing. And that was kind

201
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:13.039
<v Speaker 4>of my intro to it.

202
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:14.679
<v Speaker 5>And then when I moved up to the Northeast, there

203
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:17.120
<v Speaker 5>were a lot of women that played up there really

204
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:18.759
<v Speaker 5>and yeah, we were only there for a year. So

205
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.039
<v Speaker 5>when I came back, I started seeing some women and

206
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.000
<v Speaker 5>I met this really cool woman named Kristin Reeves who

207
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 5>had started gathering the women in Louisville and kind of

208
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.639
<v Speaker 5>started playing. I mean, the guy scene here is really big,

209
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:30.480
<v Speaker 5>always has been.

210
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to remember. I think there was an was

211
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 3>there a national championship or something here? I think the

212
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Sports Commission had a huge disc of vet here.

213
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.600
<v Speaker 4>Yes, so Dave Greenwell probably was.

214
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 5>He was multa multi time world champion, and he designed

215
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:54.279
<v Speaker 5>all the courses here, Charlie Vettner, Gerry Cooy champions he

216
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.320
<v Speaker 5>designed all of those, and there he hosted a major here,

217
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:01.879
<v Speaker 5>the Selenski. I can't I don't know year, but it was.

218
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:05.000
<v Speaker 5>It was several years ago. Disc golf Louisville used to

219
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:06.080
<v Speaker 5>be a really big.

220
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 4>Scene, is there.

221
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.159
<v Speaker 2>Cooy's that was the first one, right, the first.

222
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 5>One, first one in the state of Kentucky was actually

223
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.399
<v Speaker 5>designed by the guy that started the Frisbee?

224
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.639
<v Speaker 3>Am I thinking long run too? Is that long run

225
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.279
<v Speaker 3>out by long run shelby of a road way out?

226
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:21.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking, okay.

227
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:22.200
<v Speaker 2>So it is.

228
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.399
<v Speaker 5>So the first one was Otter Creek Park and that

229
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.120
<v Speaker 5>was built in like nineteen seventy nine, I think. And

230
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.679
<v Speaker 5>then Iroquois was in eighty one and we play often

231
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.639
<v Speaker 5>at Iroquois, Charlie Vetner and Champions. And then Dave is

232
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.240
<v Speaker 5>in his seventies now and he's still playing I and

233
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:37.759
<v Speaker 5>really good.

234
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.039
<v Speaker 3>Probably he's still So one of the distances, is it

235
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 3>just like golf, So it's four hundred yards or is

236
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:44.399
<v Speaker 3>it one hundred four hundred feet?

237
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:45.240
<v Speaker 4>It's more feet?

238
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:46.559
<v Speaker 3>Okay, do you.

239
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Use a different disc like if you have for distance?

240
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 5>Like?

241
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for distance, what's the difference weight?

242
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:55.279
<v Speaker 4>What side the size? The weight?

243
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.120
<v Speaker 5>A little bit comes into play, but it's it's really

244
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:03.159
<v Speaker 5>the shape of the disc. Mostly the drivers are really

245
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:04.879
<v Speaker 5>thin around the edge.

246
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.159
<v Speaker 4>Cut through the air for the distance. The putters are rounded.

247
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:10.879
<v Speaker 3>I want to play now, I really do.

248
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.519
<v Speaker 2>I want to go into play every every sport there

249
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:17.679
<v Speaker 2>is baseball, football, whatever, there's basketball, tennis. They always have

250
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:19.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, you are these shoes you go jump higher.

251
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.519
<v Speaker 2>For example, I've got friends that look like me. The

252
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.159
<v Speaker 2>ride ten speeds and they'll put on the skins. They

253
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:27.600
<v Speaker 2>look like a thing of biscuits getting ready to pop

254
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>because they got the skins tight stuff on. Is there

255
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:32.799
<v Speaker 2>a frisbee golf gear that they try to push on

256
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.399
<v Speaker 2>people like, Hey, this this shirt helps you so further

257
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:37.480
<v Speaker 2>because it's made out.

258
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:39.000
<v Speaker 3>Of you said, for sure, I thought it was a

259
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:39.600
<v Speaker 3>dumb question.

260
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.559
<v Speaker 5>Now, marketing is my background.

261
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, else, I invented the pop tart.

262
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:48.919
<v Speaker 2>Could you imagine if the lights went out? It's probably

263
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:51.279
<v Speaker 2>just a seventy an fuse color to transfer.

264
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So there is gear.

265
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:57.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there's absolutely gear there. I mean in terms of

266
00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.679
<v Speaker 5>like cells and frisbees and sure like that. You know

267
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.480
<v Speaker 5>that this frisbee is gonna throw farther and this one's

268
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 5>gonna do better.

269
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:04.279
<v Speaker 4>You know, there's that sort of thing.

270
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:06.159
<v Speaker 5>And then you have like your chalk bags and your

271
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:09.159
<v Speaker 5>very specific disc golf bags, and you know they're even

272
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.080
<v Speaker 5>coming even coming out with shoes.

273
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Now, I gotta have the best gear, all the shoes

274
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.120
<v Speaker 2>before I go to play with you. I gotta look.

275
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Is there league?

276
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:21.919
<v Speaker 5>Yes, there are leagues and clubs around here. We host

277
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:23.960
<v Speaker 5>our women's league, our ladies League.

00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:30.720
<v Speaker 5>this year when I came back to Louisville.

281
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:31.799
<v Speaker 4>I really wanted to.

282
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.120
<v Speaker 5>Grow the sport for the ladies locally, and so we

283
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:37.720

291
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.519
<v Speaker 5>up a really cool course that's nine holes throughout the

292
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:17.000
<v Speaker 5>brewery and that's, you know, part of our fundraiser. And

294
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:23.600
<v Speaker 4>We average forty people, I bet every single week.

295
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:26.519
<v Speaker 3>See, I'm terrible at golf. I quit golf years ago.

296
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:28.559
<v Speaker 3>My kids were little and I said, I can't spend

297
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:30.080
<v Speaker 3>six hours on a golf course. I want to spend

298
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:32.200
<v Speaker 3>it with them. But I quit also because I was

299
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:35.080
<v Speaker 3>in white nose terrible. I'm terrible golfer. Well, but this

300
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:38.240
<v Speaker 3>could be something where I could do and be better

301
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:39.240
<v Speaker 3>at it than golf.

302
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.279
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, I would definitely say it's much more accessible than golf.

303
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Right. See, I'm actually I'm excellent at golf except for

304
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.159
<v Speaker 2>two things, the clown's mouth and the windmill. Other than that,

305
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:54.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm golden on every single So are these courses free

306
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:54.840
<v Speaker 2>at the park?

307
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:58.000
<v Speaker 5>Yes, they're always free. That is a big difference between golf.

308
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh, oh my gosh.

309
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:04.879
<v Speaker 5>It's just a really accessible sport for so many, for kids,

310
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.919
<v Speaker 5>for for anybody, because you know, a Frisbee is less

311
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:10.519
<v Speaker 5>than twenty bucks. And then all the course, most all

312
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:13.120
<v Speaker 5>the courses are free. They are all free at the park.

313
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.000
<v Speaker 5>There's a few private courses that are pay to play,

314
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.600
<v Speaker 5>but they're very inexpensive, usually five dollars a wrest.

315
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Surely go to Amazon and I can look up.

316
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:24.200
<v Speaker 7>I sent you guys a link to a starter set

317
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.240
<v Speaker 7>okay on Amazon, twenty five bucks. That's got fair away Frisbees,

318
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:30.720
<v Speaker 7>mid range potters.

319
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.879
<v Speaker 2>Yes, towels. I've got to go with something better. I've

320
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 2>got to have the best.

321
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.000
<v Speaker 4>Here's what I would a thousand dollars.

322
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:42.639
<v Speaker 5>The better way to do that is support our local store. Yes,

323
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:47.960
<v Speaker 5>it's right across actually the river in New Albany. They

324
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.279
<v Speaker 5>may potentially be coming over here to Loisville, but they

325
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:51.639
<v Speaker 5>support all of our events.

326
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:55.360
<v Speaker 4>They show up to our events and vend for them.

327
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:57.879
<v Speaker 4>What disc golf.

328
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 8>Mart, disc golf, I mean, that's then the name of

329
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.240
<v Speaker 8>the business is disc golf Mart.

330
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:04.279
<v Speaker 3>And they stay open.

331
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:07.519
<v Speaker 5>They are open and there that is really growing. That's

332
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.039
<v Speaker 5>just talking about the growth of Frisbee golf of disc

333
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:14.360
<v Speaker 5>golf in right now. There's more than I believe it's

334
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:17.720
<v Speaker 5>over fifteen thousand courses around the world, and that is

335
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:22.200
<v Speaker 5>twice as many courses as there was in twenty seventeen. Like,

336
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:25.960
<v Speaker 5>that's how fast that's growing. Most towns, Like there's a

337
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:29.840
<v Speaker 5>store in Indie. Disc golf Mart's in Indie. Here, there's

338
00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:34.039
<v Speaker 5>like three of them. I'm sponsored by a store up

339
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:37.120
<v Speaker 5>in New Hampshire called Union Square disc Golf in a

340
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.360
<v Speaker 5>small town up there. So it's growing so much. There

341
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:44.440
<v Speaker 5>are so many stores, so many courses popping up, and

342
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:47.039
<v Speaker 5>I really want to get more courses. We really want

343
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:49.440
<v Speaker 5>to get more courses here in Louisville.

344
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:52.519
<v Speaker 4>I visited Iceland. I play around the world, so I

345
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:53.039
<v Speaker 4>played in.

346
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Iceland, of course, Iceland.

347
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:59.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yes, I went to Iceland to play in May

348
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.120
<v Speaker 5>and it was a ma Their population is three hundred

349
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:02.759
<v Speaker 5>and eighty thousand.

350
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:04.679
<v Speaker 4>What is that a third of Louisville.

351
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:08.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, maybe they have ninety nine disc golf courses.

352
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:10.519
<v Speaker 4>Wow, Louisville has four.

353
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.679
<v Speaker 5>So once upon a time we were really big right

354
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:17.360
<v Speaker 5>in disc golf, and now we're falling behind. And I

355
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.879
<v Speaker 5>really want to make a push for that because you know,

356
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:22.200
<v Speaker 5>you think about the other things the parks has and

357
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.639
<v Speaker 5>how many people that serves a disc golf course can

358
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:27.279
<v Speaker 5>have seventy two people on it comfortably at a time,

359
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.440
<v Speaker 5>and more than five hundred people can go through a day.

360
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:32.240
<v Speaker 5>There's even stats on how this is great in parks

361
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.200
<v Speaker 5>for like neighborhood watch and stuff, because you always have somebody.

362
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 3>You've sold it. You got it, Cassie, You've sold it.

363
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:39.799
<v Speaker 3>I'm in now, Cassie. I will tell you this. This

364
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:42.639
<v Speaker 3>interview has been a thousand times more interesting than I

365
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.440
<v Speaker 3>thought it was going to be because if you pitch

366
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:47.120
<v Speaker 3>people and go, what do you guys, what's on the

367

368
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:54.200
<v Speaker 3>but this was really fascinating. I love the conversation. What

369
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.799
<v Speaker 3>is how do they get a hold of you and

370
00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:59.879
<v Speaker 3>then how do they get a lesson and go? The

371
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.919
<v Speaker 3>gonna go buy their discs from the new Albany place, right, yes,

372
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.960
<v Speaker 3>and then how do I get out there? And you're

378
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:18.519

545
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Mayor Craig gray Bird right now, Hello, Mayor, how are you?

546
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:08.720
<v Speaker 6>I'm doing real well. I thought, you know, there's a

547
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:11.559
<v Speaker 6>new Jerry Springer documentary on Netflix, and I thought with

548
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:13.720
<v Speaker 6>that lead in intro, I thought maybe I had my

549
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:17.640
<v Speaker 6>dialogue wrong. It was Jerry Springer shower.

550
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:20.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh boy, that's crazy. I can't wait to watch that.

551
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.079
<v Speaker 3>The de evolution of television. All right, so let's give

552
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:29.279
<v Speaker 3>you a round applause for the streets and I know

553
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:32.519
<v Speaker 3>you're going to pass that credit along, but we've all

554
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:35.240
<v Speaker 3>lived in this town, our entire lives fifty five years

555
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:37.160
<v Speaker 3>and it's gotten better every year. But you know what,

556
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:40.720
<v Speaker 3>this was a home run. The roads being cleared was

557
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:44.079
<v Speaker 3>a was an absolute Super Bowl win. Congratulations.

558
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.039
<v Speaker 6>Well thanks, I hope when you know, not totally in

559
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:50.519
<v Speaker 6>the clear yet. We've got snow that's just started to fall.

560
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:53.880
<v Speaker 6>I'm actually driving around the city right now and it

561
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:56.119
<v Speaker 6>is starting to come down. I'm hopeful that it stays

562
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:58.480
<v Speaker 6>like this throughout the day, so even if it keeps snowing,

563
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:01.240
<v Speaker 6>it doesn't impact our coades. But our teams have done

564
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:02.920
<v Speaker 6>a tremendous job and we're going to keep at it.

565
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:05.240
<v Speaker 6>And look, we're not perfect. There's still some areas we

566
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:07.119
<v Speaker 6>know we have to improve on. We know there are

567
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:09.880
<v Speaker 6>still some neighborhoods that are not on snow routes that

568
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:12.079
<v Speaker 6>want their plows, and we're going to look at that

569
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:14.640
<v Speaker 6>before the next stormst is that if we can expand

570
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:17.160
<v Speaker 6>the routes that we have. But I like you guys,

571
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.400
<v Speaker 6>I'm pleased with the work our crews have done and

572
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:20.839
<v Speaker 6>we're going to stay at it as long as we

573
00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:21.119
<v Speaker 6>need to.

574
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I want to piggyback what Tony just said, because I

575
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:28.119
<v Speaker 2>think you all did a quite incredible job cleaning these roads,

576
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:30.920
<v Speaker 2>because I've been through a lot of snowstorms in louisvill Kentucky,

577
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:33.880
<v Speaker 2>and then when I came in, the roads were indeed clear.

578
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Same with Jaytown Public Works, by the way, but you

579
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:40.400
<v Speaker 2>also worked city Hall and Mary Craig Greenberg, you worked

580
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:43.079
<v Speaker 2>in concert with other companies like LG and E to

581
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:47.079
<v Speaker 2>make you pre get you pre worked out what's going

582
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:49.920
<v Speaker 2>to happen with the power outages. And if you ask me,

583
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:53.319
<v Speaker 2>by working in concert together, that was quite helpful too,

584
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:56.200
<v Speaker 2>because the power outages they weren't that long.

585
00:27:58.359 --> 00:28:00.759
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we that was very very helpful. I mean, part

586
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:02.839
<v Speaker 6>of it was mother Nature. That was the only area

587
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:05.480
<v Speaker 6>of cooperation she had this week. Was didn't give us

588
00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:08.240
<v Speaker 6>as much freezing ice on Sunday and Monday as might

589
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:11.400
<v Speaker 6>have been projected. But LG and HE has been making

590
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:13.519
<v Speaker 6>a lot of upgrades to their equipment to be able

591
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:17.160
<v Speaker 6>to take more ice if and when that happened. So

592
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:19.279
<v Speaker 6>that was helpful. And just you know, they had crews

593
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:22.160
<v Speaker 6>ready on standby for when that happened. And so we

594
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:24.240
<v Speaker 6>were very fortunate. Yesterday we had in the vent out

595
00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:27.440
<v Speaker 6>by the Waterston Expressway with a downpower line that did

596
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:30.119
<v Speaker 6>result in the Waterston being closed. They could get that fixed,

597
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:33.880
<v Speaker 6>but otherwise there were no major power issues at scale,

598
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:36.119
<v Speaker 6>So we are fortunate on that front.

599
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:38.039
<v Speaker 7>I'm not going to ask you to throw another mayor

600
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:40.359
<v Speaker 7>under the bus. We're not going to have wildfires here

601
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:42.319
<v Speaker 7>in Louisville in all likelihood.

602
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:43.000
<v Speaker 1>But as you watch it, I'm not.

603
00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:46.160
<v Speaker 7>But as you watch what's unfolding, as a mayor, what

604
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:47.279
<v Speaker 7>do you think of the situation?

605
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:52.119
<v Speaker 6>You know, dealing with this is everyone. You might talk

606
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:54.119
<v Speaker 6>about this or that throughout the year, but at the

607
00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:57.079
<v Speaker 6>end of the day, what people are looking for from

608
00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:00.359
<v Speaker 6>their city government is for the basic service is to

609
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:04.480
<v Speaker 6>be delivered and delivered well, whether that's your trash pickup,

610
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:08.440
<v Speaker 6>whether that's filling potholes or when there are challenging times

611
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:11.680
<v Speaker 6>like snow to clear the roads. And so we try

612
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:13.759
<v Speaker 6>to stay focused on that every day. There's a lot

613
00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:16.960
<v Speaker 6>of other huge plans we have for twenty twenty five

614
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:18.799
<v Speaker 6>and beyond for the city that are going to make

615
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:20.759
<v Speaker 6>it safer, that are going to make it stronger, that

616
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:24.359
<v Speaker 6>are going to make it healthier, we stay focused on that,

617
00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:25.720
<v Speaker 6>and we got a lot of people working on that

618
00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:28.599
<v Speaker 6>even during the snow. But we've got to deliver on

619
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:31.359
<v Speaker 6>the basic services like snow and so you know, that's

620
00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:35.200
<v Speaker 6>why we spend so much time on that and leading

621
00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:37.400
<v Speaker 6>up to When you know something like this is coming,

622
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:40.079
<v Speaker 6>you got to go all in. And that's why I'm

623
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:42.319
<v Speaker 6>so thrilled to have great deputy mayors, to have great

624
00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:45.680
<v Speaker 6>directors of Public Works and other departments and emergency services

625
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.279
<v Speaker 6>and LMPD, and it just really helps them have a

626
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:51.240
<v Speaker 6>whole team of people. But I'm a hands on type

627
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:53.720
<v Speaker 6>of person, ask a lot of questions. I don't profess

628
00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:56.519
<v Speaker 6>to be an expert, but I think when you ask

629
00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:58.160
<v Speaker 6>a lot of questions, you learn a lot and you

630
00:29:58.160 --> 00:29:59.160
<v Speaker 6>can get better results.

631
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Greenberger is on with us. We will have a snow

632
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:05.400
<v Speaker 3>event that will start here if it hasn't already three

633
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:08.680
<v Speaker 3>to five inches. And it's funny because we all after

634
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:11.079
<v Speaker 3>this last event normally three to five inches, we all

635
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.039
<v Speaker 3>be freaking out right now, but since it's last weekend,

636
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.880
<v Speaker 3>we're like, it's only three to five, so let's talk LMPD.

637
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:24.839
<v Speaker 3>The I saw coach coach, I saw Chief Humphreys. I

638
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:28.720
<v Speaker 3>saw Chief right, But he had a great answer for

639
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:33.039
<v Speaker 3>a good question, which was the new MPD cadet class

640
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:38.599
<v Speaker 3>graduating nine members to the force. And they said, why

641
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:42.000
<v Speaker 3>isn't that number higher? The normal class is forty eight,

642
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:44.839
<v Speaker 3>I think is a full class, and he said, because

643
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:47.000
<v Speaker 3>we're not just taking anybody, We're going to take the

644
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:49.319
<v Speaker 3>quality police officers and put them on the street. I

645
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:51.640
<v Speaker 3>thought that was a fantastic answer your thoughts.

646
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:55.440
<v Speaker 6>I totally agree with Chief Humphrey. That's actually on my

647
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:59.119
<v Speaker 6>way right now to be with them at their graduation

648
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.160
<v Speaker 6>here shortly. And we've got to we've got to get

649
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:06.519
<v Speaker 6>more police officers. But we want the right people. We

650
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:09.960
<v Speaker 6>want qualified people. We want people from all walks of life,

651
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:13.039
<v Speaker 6>from all all parts of the city, lots of different backgrounds,

652
00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:15.319
<v Speaker 6>you know, but we have high standards. And I think

653
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:17.319
<v Speaker 6>that's right. I think that's what Chief I'm free wants,

654
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:19.440
<v Speaker 6>It's what I want, and it's what the community wants.

655
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.079
<v Speaker 6>So we're gonna keep going. We we do have more

656
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:24.480
<v Speaker 6>people that are applying, and so that's on an uptick.

657
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:27.960
<v Speaker 6>That's a positive first step, and I'm excited about the

658
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:33.359
<v Speaker 6>future of LMPD given the leadership that we have you know,

659
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:35.319
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if you saw it. You know, they

660
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:38.359
<v Speaker 6>continue to work. There might be ten inches of snow

661
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:41.759
<v Speaker 6>on the ground, but they're still responding. And whether it's them,

662
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:45.400
<v Speaker 6>the firefighters of the EMS, nobody slowed down this week.

663
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:48.039
<v Speaker 6>They kept working. There's even you know, we had a

664
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:51.519
<v Speaker 6>couple of really dangerous situations earlier in the week where

665
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:55.759
<v Speaker 6>that guy who shot an Indiana State Police officer came

666
00:31:55.839 --> 00:32:00.480
<v Speaker 6>to Louisville, and our guys handled that situation. You know,

667
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:04.200
<v Speaker 6>it ended in a h in his desk after he

668
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:07.200
<v Speaker 6>shot at our officers. But that happened in the snow.

669
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:10.359
<v Speaker 6>There were some other really challenging situations, and then they're

670
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:12.920
<v Speaker 6>still at it, rain, snow, steed as hell.

671
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:15.759
<v Speaker 2>I want to bring up another organization and I've got

672
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:18.400
<v Speaker 2>a question for you. Mark Greg Craig Greenberg is our guest.

673
00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I also want to say that, hey, some of these

674
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Metro Safe men and women, they actually spent the night

675
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:26.680
<v Speaker 2>at LOUISVI Metro Safe on air mattresses just so they

676
00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:28.960
<v Speaker 2>could be there to answer the nine to one one calls.

677
00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:30.920
<v Speaker 2>So I want to give a shout out to them.

678
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:32.440
<v Speaker 2>But I also want to ask you about this and

679
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:34.799
<v Speaker 2>if you can comment. Do if you can't comment, I

680
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:38.160
<v Speaker 2>will understand. Uh, there is a there was a little

681
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:41.839
<v Speaker 2>of a business, a food hall that got in Well,

682
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:45.720
<v Speaker 2>they've got a violation and a h for taking in

683
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:50.240
<v Speaker 2>homeless because they'd have the right permits and evidently they

684
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:52.920
<v Speaker 2>are going to be cited. Is there any way that

685
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.519
<v Speaker 2>that can be dropped or can you.

686
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:58.079
<v Speaker 6>Come here's the here's the issue that we're that we're

687
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.759
<v Speaker 6>dealing with there. We want to support everyone who wants

688
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:02.640
<v Speaker 6>to help others. And if you've heard me all week,

689
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:06.279
<v Speaker 6>I've been encouraging neighbors to help neighbors. We have funded

690
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:10.119
<v Speaker 6>various warming centers, our libraries and community centers owt but

691
00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:13.920
<v Speaker 6>neighborhood place. We've even funded other nonprofit organizations to be

692
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:16.559
<v Speaker 6>day shelters to be placed to help people come in

693
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:19.200
<v Speaker 6>from the cold. The challenge that we have is if

694
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:21.880
<v Speaker 6>people want to help others, just reach out to the

695
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:25.240
<v Speaker 6>city and let us help you. In the past, we've

696
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:28.160
<v Speaker 6>had some really negative experiences in the city where people

697
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:34.079
<v Speaker 6>brought people together and it turned into a brothel. Buyers

698
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:38.960
<v Speaker 6>broke out like there is the risk of dangerous situations

699
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:42.160
<v Speaker 6>if you're just improvising on the fly, and so we

700
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:44.880
<v Speaker 6>want to help neighbors. Help neighbors, just reach out and

701
00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:46.920
<v Speaker 6>call and will help you do it the right way.

702
00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Do you know if that business is going to be

703
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:50.440
<v Speaker 2>fined for that or.

704
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:55.079
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. I'm aware of the citation, I'm aware

705
00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:57.319
<v Speaker 6>of the case. I don't know exactly where it is

706
00:33:57.400 --> 00:33:59.640
<v Speaker 6>or what's going to happen. I'm going to follow up

707
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:04.079
<v Speaker 6>on thatch. But my request to everybody is is that's

708
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:06.640
<v Speaker 6>great to help other people. Reach out and let us

709
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:08.440
<v Speaker 6>help you do it the right way, just as we

710
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:11.400
<v Speaker 6>have with great nonprofit partners. We've got two great partners

711
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:14.440
<v Speaker 6>in the southwestern part of the city that are operating

712
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:17.079
<v Speaker 6>day shelters to help people come in from the coal

713
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:20.079
<v Speaker 6>to help provide support. That's you know, we want a

714
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:22.400
<v Speaker 6>fund and support and I'm guess I'm doing it the

715
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:22.760
<v Speaker 6>right life.

716
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:24.360
<v Speaker 2>And I'm guessing right now we are in a white

717
00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:25.199
<v Speaker 2>flag situation.

718
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:28.239
<v Speaker 6>Right now, we are and we will stay at least

719
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:30.360
<v Speaker 6>through Tuesday. We'll see what the weather does then, but

720
00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:32.599
<v Speaker 6>right now we're planning to stay at white flag operation

721
00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:33.519
<v Speaker 6>at least through Tuesday.

722
00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Well.

723
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:36.000
<v Speaker 7>With fire departments in the news, let's take a look

724
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:41.000
<v Speaker 7>at ours. I've seen stories about infrastructure challenges and outdated equipment.

725
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:42.920
<v Speaker 1>They want money. Do we have it for them? What's

726
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:43.760
<v Speaker 1>the status there.

727
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:47.119
<v Speaker 6>We're going to keep working to get it. You know,

728
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:49.400
<v Speaker 6>some of the challenges that we're dealing with as a

729
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:52.400
<v Speaker 6>city are the result of lack of decisions that were

730
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:54.599
<v Speaker 6>made for the last twenty years, and so it's really

731
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:57.239
<v Speaker 6>tough to catch up in just a couple of years.

732
00:34:57.239 --> 00:34:59.079
<v Speaker 6>But I was thrilled this year we had a sixteen

733
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:02.320
<v Speaker 6>and a half million dollar budget surplus. The vast majority

734
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:05.760
<v Speaker 6>went of had to improve public safety, including by five

735
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:08.400
<v Speaker 6>or six million dollars that went to provide more fire

736
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:11.679
<v Speaker 6>equipment and to improve fire houses. There are a couple

737
00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:15.320
<v Speaker 6>of firehouses that we need to totally redo. Most of

738
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:17.800
<v Speaker 6>them need work. If they don't need to be redone,

739
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:20.079
<v Speaker 6>but they need work. And so as long as I'm mayor,

740
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:23.599
<v Speaker 6>I'm going to continue to support capital investments in improving

741
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:26.159
<v Speaker 6>the quality of our fire houses and to make sure

742
00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:29.960
<v Speaker 6>we have better fire trucks and apparatus, just like with

743
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:32.400
<v Speaker 6>snow trucks. You know we're behind on we need some

744
00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:34.639
<v Speaker 6>more plows and things like that, and we're going to

745
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:36.000
<v Speaker 6>keep buying them all.

746
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:37.800
<v Speaker 3>Right, last question, and you can get to these new

747
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:40.159
<v Speaker 3>cadets and I can't wait to meet all these guys.

748
00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:41.639
<v Speaker 3>And I hope you bring all of them over here

749
00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:43.400
<v Speaker 3>like the last class. I think they came over here

750
00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:46.679
<v Speaker 3>week and they said, look, ask the news guys questions

751
00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:48.360
<v Speaker 3>and you know how to not step in it and

752
00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:49.920
<v Speaker 3>all that. We'd love for that to have.

753
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:50.800
<v Speaker 6>All right, I love it.

754
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:53.679
<v Speaker 2>Let's do that, absolutely that okay, yea. And I offered

755
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:55.639
<v Speaker 2>to give them physicals, but that was frowned upon. So

756
00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:57.199
<v Speaker 2>I will ask you this.

757
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:02.599
<v Speaker 3>So I'll ask you this, and it's give me a

758
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:05.440
<v Speaker 3>short answer or a long answer either way. What do

759
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:08.679
<v Speaker 3>you think you need to work on this year as

760
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:12.039
<v Speaker 3>mayor as you like. I don't talk about a department

761
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.360
<v Speaker 3>or people that work under you, is what is Craig

762
00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:17.559
<v Speaker 3>Greenberg do need to do better than he did in

763
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:18.519
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty four.

764
00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:22.159
<v Speaker 6>Well, there are a few things that I've committed to

765
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:24.000
<v Speaker 6>myself over the holidays that I'm going to do a

766
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:26.360
<v Speaker 6>better job. And I think I've already started this year.

767
00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:30.239
<v Speaker 6>Is I'm going to provide even more real time, direct

768
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:33.239
<v Speaker 6>feedback and communication with the folks that I work with,

769
00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:36.840
<v Speaker 6>not going to let things risk lingering. I'm going to

770
00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:42.480
<v Speaker 6>be very clear, and I think honest, open communication, even

771
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:46.960
<v Speaker 6>if it might, you know, be a challenging conversation, is

772
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:50.119
<v Speaker 6>important and so I've been doing that, but I'm going

773
00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:53.360
<v Speaker 6>to commit to do even better, particularly with the people

774
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:56.639
<v Speaker 6>that I work with at that because I think that's

775
00:36:57.000 --> 00:36:59.639
<v Speaker 6>that's doing a favor to the end of your colleague.

776
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:02.119
<v Speaker 6>It's also important to get the results that I know

777
00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:05.760
<v Speaker 6>everyone in the city is expecting. And there there is

778
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:08.320
<v Speaker 6>no time to waste. I've got two years left on

779
00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:10.400
<v Speaker 6>my first term. I'm not going to waste a day

780
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:14.320
<v Speaker 6>or a minute, and we have high expectations, and I

781
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:17.519
<v Speaker 6>have high expectations of myself and everyone that's on our team.

782
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:20.960
<v Speaker 2>It's look, you were handed a blank show when you

783
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.320

784
00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:25.039
