00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:07.519
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:09.279
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine.

3
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Day, Holy crap, I don't know who the hell we

4
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:12.119
<v Speaker 2>think when we.

5
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Are get off our show, idiot.

6
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:16.039
<v Speaker 2>The kids are crying or.

7
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Turn them off. The countries are screwing it up. Gold

8
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Play inter Murals, Brother, gold Play Intermurals. They're supposed to

9
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>be mature adults, but they're really not. Who's the kid here?

10
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Who's the kid here? Are you kidding me?

11
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Now?

12
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:38.359
<v Speaker 1>Here's nick coffee?

13
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.359
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get it started. Welcome in the Monday

14
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.359
<v Speaker 2>after Derby Week. I say Derby Week because I feel

15
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.719
<v Speaker 2>like it's not just Saturday's Kentucky Derby that people are

16
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:01.759
<v Speaker 2>maybe still recovering from. It's everything that comes with Derby Week.

17
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a big week, and it was a great week.

18
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Mother nature did not cooperate with us really on Saturday,

19
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 2>but being there for a good stretch of really nearly

20
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 2>the entire day, it didn't seem as if anybody cared,

21
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 2>and that I think became infectious to where you know,

22
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:19.680
<v Speaker 2>what are you gonna do? It's the Derby. You probably

23
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.000
<v Speaker 2>spent a lot of money. It's not an event you

24
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 2>plan to go to based off of weather. I mean,

25
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, if you're gonna make the trip, make

26
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 2>the arrangements, you know, you just accept whatever mother nature

27
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>decides to do. And again she wasn't great, but it

28
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't seem to matter to those that were there, and

29
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 2>it was a good Derby. Sovereignty is your winner. A

30
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.079
<v Speaker 2>name that did get talked about and was always, from

31
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>what I can tell view to be a real contender

32
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.079
<v Speaker 2>in the one hundred and fifty first running of the

33
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky Derby, but it just never seemed to generate quite

34
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 2>the buzz that a Sandman or a journalism got. But

35
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.359
<v Speaker 2>no doubt it was sovereignty. And I don't know what

36
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 2>it is. I feel like every time I say it,

37
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:03.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying it wrong. You know, sometimes just saying it

38
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 2>with confidence may it may distract people from the fact

39
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 2>that you might have ever so slightly mispronounced it. But

40
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 2>let's say together, Austin sovereignty, sovereignty, sovereignty. Y think we're on

41
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>the same page there, Yes, so like a sovereignation. Congrats

42
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 2>to sovereignty. Course, there you go. It is Coffee and

43
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.479
<v Speaker 2>Company and we are field By Thornton's here on Sports

44
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 2>Talk seven ninety. Appreciate you hanging out with us. Yesterday

45
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.560
<v Speaker 2>was a day to recover, but I'm sure there's many

46
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 2>that needed more than just you know, one day. I

47
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 2>was very glad to see that we got the email

48
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 2>either last night or this morning from our boss Gus,

49
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.039
<v Speaker 2>who is not here today. He's taken the day off,

50
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 2>which of course is good. He needs a month off.

51
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we wouldn't survive without him, at least not

52
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.039
<v Speaker 2>for that long. At least I don't think we would.

53
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.120
<v Speaker 2>But glad to see he's enjoying himself and good. This

54
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>was probably the most that I've been a part of

55
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 2>of our coverage because I did my typical interviews with

56
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 2>just different fans and spectators there, and then I did

57
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 2>about an hour and a half of kind of anchoring

58
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 2>our coverage, which was which was a cool experience and

59
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fun. But you were there, and I

60
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.479
<v Speaker 2>know you've worked Derby more than one year, but you

61
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 2>were you know, you were a big part of our

62
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.199
<v Speaker 2>of our coverage. Yeah, for sure, Yeah, I could sense that,

63
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't know just it. I don't know why,

64
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.039
<v Speaker 2>but it felt like it was probably more just because

65
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>I was more around and therefore I'm noticing things that

66
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.319
<v Speaker 2>I typically didn't notice. But you know, it's a collective

67
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>effort from everybody involved, and you know, I enjoyed more

68
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 2>than I have in a long time, actually, you know,

69
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 2>talking to people and some of them never even made

70
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:33.719
<v Speaker 2>the airwaves. As far as these interviews that we did,

71
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.080
<v Speaker 2>we had a good group out there talking to different

72
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 2>folks to where by the time we were still many

73
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.479
<v Speaker 2>hours from the actual Derby race, we got the notification

74
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.719
<v Speaker 2>that hey, we're full. Basically, there's enough interviews here to

75
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.400
<v Speaker 2>play throughout the our coverage. So you guys are good,

76
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 2>sit back and enjoy yourself. And uh, oh yeah, that's

77
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>what we did. But you know, of the people I

78
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>talked to, I don't even know if this one ended

79
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>up in the entirety of our coverage, but you know,

80
00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.439
<v Speaker 2>there was a guy who who has gone had been

81
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 2>to forty or forty seven, I think Kentucky Derby.

82
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I heard that it was on the montage.

83
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:05.800
<v Speaker 2>That's right, Okay, yeah, that's right. That's where I knew

84
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:07.719
<v Speaker 2>there was some I knew I'd heard reference of that

85
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 2>at some point. I listened to that early this morning

86
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:11.879
<v Speaker 2>when I got up and I was thinking, Okay, when

87
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 2>would I have heard it. I wouldn't have heard it live,

88
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 2>but that's when I heard it. Sty sand Mine made

89
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>the montage. Yeah, So, which, by the way, we do

90
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 2>we do every year we have a montage about fifteen

91
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 2>minutes of just our day right here, well not right here,

92
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:25.360
<v Speaker 2>but you know, across the hall within our family here

93
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.079
<v Speaker 2>at ihare on news Radio eight forty WHS and Jim

94
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 2>Bin will put together a nice little fifteen sixteen minute,

95
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, montage of everything and we'll let you guys

96
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.600
<v Speaker 2>hear that a few times throughout the show today, probably

97
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 2>going to plan for it towards the end of this hour. Yeah,

98
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 2>but it's it's just kind of a good quick I mean,

99
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Speaker 2>it's not super quick, especially considering the type of audio

100
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.480
<v Speaker 2>we typically play on the show. However, I mean it

101
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.480
<v Speaker 2>has everything that really it basically packs in our derby

102
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 2>day start to finish our coverage and of course the

103
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.240
<v Speaker 2>race itself into about a fifteen minute clip. So we

104
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:58.959
<v Speaker 2>can relive that and look forward to doing that. But

105
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 2>I know what we talked about last week. But back

106
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.680
<v Speaker 2>to the guy that I interviewed that was included in

107
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 2>the montage, I mean he came to u of L

108
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 2>as a student many many years ago, and that's when

109
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.480
<v Speaker 2>he came to his first derby, and he's basically been

110
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:12.199
<v Speaker 2>to about everyone since then.

111
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 3>And I mean, if.

112
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:15.399
<v Speaker 2>That it didn't live here either, by way, he lives

113
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.079
<v Speaker 2>in Pittsburgh, but again he I guess got familiar with

114
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Churchill Downs and horse racing whenever he was a student

115
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.439
<v Speaker 2>at u of L, long before U of L is

116
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 2>even close to kind of you know what it is now,

117
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 2>And it just it was another reminder that it's kind

118
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 2>of cool that, like, this is such a special event

119
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:31.959
<v Speaker 2>to so many people across the world, and it's right

120
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.480
<v Speaker 2>here in our hometown. And it's not like I've never

121
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:36.360
<v Speaker 2>knew this before. But I don't know, maybe it's just

122
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 2>me getting more older and mature and wise and realizing, hey,

123
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.040
<v Speaker 2>this is a pretty cool thing that we have this yere,

124
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>all eyes are on us for longer than two minutes,

125
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 2>but of course it's a two minute race, which really

126
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.199
<v Speaker 2>I think that's telling. It's such a big sporting event

127
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.879
<v Speaker 2>and it's such a big deal, so much attention surrounding it. People,

128
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, some of the most successful, influential people in

129
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.399
<v Speaker 2>the world want to be a part of it at

130
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 2>some point because it's just you know, the pageantry, everything

131
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.319
<v Speaker 2>that comes with it, But it's just a two minute thing,

132
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:04.279
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. Like if you come to

133
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:05.879
<v Speaker 2>the derby, it's longer than two minutes, and you have

134
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.800
<v Speaker 2>the whole day, but like the real big spotlight is

135
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>for that two minutes, and not many cities can say

136
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 2>they have that, you know what I mean? Like a

137
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:18.279
<v Speaker 2>have an event where really everything seems to kind of stop.

138
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I am exaggerating it slightly, but you know, it

139
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 2>kind of seems that way. And then you see the

140
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 2>amount of people who in fact do watch it who

141
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.160
<v Speaker 2>aren't there. It kind of makes me feel even more

142
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 2>as if you know, damn, this thing is even bigger

143
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 2>and more special than I thought. Of all the people

144
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:35.639
<v Speaker 2>you talked to, is there one that stood out more

145
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:36.879
<v Speaker 2>than the others.

146
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.839
<v Speaker 4>I got to talk to a guy and his love

147
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm assuming that was his wife in the Paddock area,

148
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.519
<v Speaker 4>and he was a he was how do you say?

149
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:46.759
<v Speaker 3>He was an auctioneer?

150
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 4>Okay, he was like the guy he got twenty overhaf

151
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:50.759
<v Speaker 4>video here and he got to do one of his

152
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.759
<v Speaker 4>little he got the going character for a minute, and

153
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.240
<v Speaker 4>they were from bowling green and he said the last couple,

154
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:58.879
<v Speaker 4>he said, the last time we came was one rich

155
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:00.800
<v Speaker 4>strike one and it was they like eighty to one.

156
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.480
<v Speaker 4>So he said, I'm going all out on the on

157
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.879
<v Speaker 4>the longest shot, and finally actually got to mingle my

158
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 4>way over to the infield. I've never into the infield before, really,

159
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.560
<v Speaker 4>and it's a long walk ye from the grand stand.

160
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:13.959
<v Speaker 3>That tunnel is no joke.

161
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.920
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask you this, the infield from where

162
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.480
<v Speaker 2>we were to get there, is it? I mean, I

163
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>know the tunnel, but like it it. I think I

164
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:24.759
<v Speaker 2>walked past it thinking, Okay, I'm pretty sure that's how

165
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.240
<v Speaker 2>you used to get to the infield, But there's no

166
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.160
<v Speaker 2>way that can be how you get there now because

167
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.279
<v Speaker 2>they kind of have it roped off as if it's

168
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.000
<v Speaker 2>like super special exclusive access.

169
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.680
<v Speaker 4>Yes, but if you can easily like get turned around

170
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:36.920
<v Speaker 4>thinking that that's not it.

171
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:38.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, I guess they do try to separate it as

172
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:40.680
<v Speaker 2>best they can because there's part of the infield. I

173
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.600
<v Speaker 2>guess a lot of the infield that's not the all inclusive,

174
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 2>so they do try to keep it pretty, you know,

175
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.879
<v Speaker 2>pretty clearly divided. But yeah, I hadn't been back to

176
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 2>the infield in a couple of years now, I'm dying

177
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:50.399
<v Speaker 2>to know was it.

178
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it was energetic out there.

179
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 4>I got there, I did everything out there early before

180
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:57.600
<v Speaker 4>it got too so I didn't see any what do

181
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.800
<v Speaker 4>you call in the porter potty surfy. I didn't see

182
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 4>it was I thought it was just gonna be this

183
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.240
<v Speaker 4>giant mud heap.

184
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:06.879
<v Speaker 2>So I'm curious if that stuff still takes place like

185
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the because it uses still. I saw some video like

186
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.360
<v Speaker 2>okay this past year. That makes me happy though, because

187
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, the debauchery and just the you know, the

188
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.079
<v Speaker 2>overall you know, rowdiness that the infield it was. You know,

189
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there are stories that a lot of you

190
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.759
<v Speaker 2>have heard or maybe you're a part of these stories

191
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 2>that people share over the years, that you know, really

192
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.800
<v Speaker 2>describe it as like something unbelievable. I've never even got

193
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.080
<v Speaker 2>to experience that, because that was like long before, you know,

194
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.519
<v Speaker 2>we're talking like probably in the nineties and even before that.

195
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.399
<v Speaker 2>But even like in the last ten years or so,

196
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.200
<v Speaker 2>the infield it got a little bit more classy I

197
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:44.840
<v Speaker 2>think than it used to be. And you know, it

198
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 2>used to I think it just used to be considered Okay,

199
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.320
<v Speaker 2>we don't care about the snobby stuff. We're here. We

200
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:51.639
<v Speaker 2>want to bet on the ponies, and we're gonna get drunk,

201
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.799
<v Speaker 2>and if it rains, we might just get sloppy and

202
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, do belly flops into the mud, because that's

203
00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.720
<v Speaker 2>just we. There was a level of not really giving

204
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.000
<v Speaker 2>a day am in the infield that I'm not really

205
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:05.360
<v Speaker 2>sure if it's there anymore, but I mean, at least

206
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.120
<v Speaker 2>you got to experience it. My man, I'm happy that

207
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 2>you got to see it. I mean, I'll tell you

208
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:15.279
<v Speaker 2>the uh, the the overall theme for me, uh, just

209
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:17.000
<v Speaker 2>as far as a takeaway, and it was because of

210
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.399
<v Speaker 2>one of the one of the guys I talked to

211
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.519
<v Speaker 2>early on. I mean, he didn't seem like the most

212
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:24.879
<v Speaker 2>engaging uh individual, and you really never know until you

213
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:27.240
<v Speaker 2>know you talk to somebody. But you know, he had

214
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 2>on a suit that had, like, I mean, his entire

215
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.159
<v Speaker 2>outfit from top to bottom, hat to shoes to belt

216
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.440
<v Speaker 2>to everything. Austin it had I feel like, every single

217
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:41.919
<v Speaker 2>color in the rainbow, but they all he made it

218
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.039
<v Speaker 2>work like. It wasn't clashing, it was. It was quite

219
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:47.320
<v Speaker 2>the flex and he looked phenomenal and he knew it too,

220
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:48.879
<v Speaker 2>So I was like, hey, sir, you know you mind

221
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:50.759
<v Speaker 2>if if I get a quick little energy for you

222
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.840
<v Speaker 2>for a radio coverage of today's derby. He was like sure.

223
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.720
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I started with the hey, where you're from?

224
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.720
<v Speaker 2>And he's he was from somewhere North Carolina, but I

225
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.639
<v Speaker 2>think he said he's lived in Louisville here and there

226
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:04.759
<v Speaker 2>throughout his life. And I said, well, you know what

227
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:06.399
<v Speaker 2>what it is? What when he told me he'd been

228
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:08.000
<v Speaker 2>to the Derby a bunch of times, I said, what

229
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.960
<v Speaker 2>is it about the Derby that keeps you coming back

230
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.320
<v Speaker 2>that you just that you you know, you love? And

231
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:17.240
<v Speaker 2>he said the fashion? Uh, And you know, and I'm

232
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.840
<v Speaker 2>not someone that considers myself fashionable really at all. And

233
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>this is something that that I never really thought about,

234
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:28.320
<v Speaker 2>but because of how dressed up a lot of people are,

235
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.639
<v Speaker 2>especially in certain sections, and just how you know, how

236
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.000
<v Speaker 2>beautiful everybody is. I mean, you could attest to this

237
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 2>right like you know, they cover our face and what

238
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:38.559
<v Speaker 2>we do we work in radio like these are beautiful

239
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:42.639
<v Speaker 2>human beings that probably are dressed as nice and look

240
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:44.679
<v Speaker 2>as good as they do at any point in the year,

241
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.039
<v Speaker 2>because you know, it's the Kentucky Derby so because of that,

242
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:50.480
<v Speaker 2>like famous people blend in like you won't you might

243
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.440
<v Speaker 2>like everybody looks famous. Seriously, I mean I'm kidding, I'm

244
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:55.440
<v Speaker 2>not kidding. Like you see certain people and you're like,

245
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't recognize that person. But man, if you told

246
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.720
<v Speaker 2>me they were a supermodel or a famous actor or

247
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:06.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, somebody that's you know, very very successful, and

248
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:08.639
<v Speaker 2>you know and because of that they have fame, I

249
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.519
<v Speaker 2>would believe you, because it's just like it's overloads. So

250
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.440
<v Speaker 2>him saying that made it seem like, you know, it

251
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:16.320
<v Speaker 2>made me kind of realize, you know what, like I

252
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.279
<v Speaker 2>bet there are a lot of people here that really

253
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.840
<v Speaker 2>have way they actually may be more fashionable than I

254
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.759
<v Speaker 2>would know, because what would I know. So since from

255
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.759
<v Speaker 2>that conversation earlier in the day I ended up having,

256
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, I just felt like I made a little

257
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.080
<v Speaker 2>more awareness of just like how it may just be

258
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 2>like that may be one of the bigger factors in

259
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.360
<v Speaker 2>why certain people go is because they want to they

260
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:39.639
<v Speaker 2>want to join in on everybody being you know, dressed

261
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.639
<v Speaker 2>to impress, which you know, they certainly certainly were a

262
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.879
<v Speaker 2>lot of people. I mean it it's a real rare

263
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 2>thing to see somebody not extremely dressed up. I don't

264
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:51.039
<v Speaker 2>just mean like they got on a jacket and some slacks.

265
00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:53.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean like they've got a lot of attention to

266
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.960
<v Speaker 2>detail in their wardrobe. And again it made me realize

267
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:58.639
<v Speaker 2>that I know nothing about that and probably never will.

268
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I felt pretty good about the fit that

269
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:02.840
<v Speaker 2>the wife threw together for me on Derby Day, and

270
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:04.159
<v Speaker 2>then I show up and I'm like, yeah, you know,

271
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm probably I'm not standing out like a bum, but man,

272
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I can't compete with some of the some of the

273
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:10.279
<v Speaker 2>style and some of the fashion that's going on out

274
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.720
<v Speaker 2>there too. When did you change? Because when I showed up,

275
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.240
<v Speaker 2>you did not have your phenomenal suit on. Yes, and

276
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking, Okay, why did Austin wear this? Maybe

277
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.480
<v Speaker 2>it's just because you know he's going to be out

278
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.200
<v Speaker 2>in the battlefield getting wet. But no, the next time

279
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 2>I saw you look like a million bucks.

280
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think is after I got all my interviews done,

281
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.000
<v Speaker 4>I just felt like, let me just go aheading. It

282
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:32.000
<v Speaker 4>was only really rainy in the start of the day,

283
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.360
<v Speaker 4>I felt like, I know it kind of it trickled

284
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:36.279
<v Speaker 4>down throughout the rest of the day and wherever we

285
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:39.279
<v Speaker 4>were sitting, we were kind of covered, so yeah, and

286
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.279
<v Speaker 4>then I just decided after that, I'm just going to

287
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.679
<v Speaker 4>walk around maybe like undercovered areas as well on interview people.

288
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.399
<v Speaker 4>So it was I think like at one o'clock. I

289
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.240
<v Speaker 4>got there at nine, did all my stuff. Probably at

290
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.039
<v Speaker 4>like one o'clock is when I decided to change and

291
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.759
<v Speaker 4>I went into the media bathroom and it did the

292
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:58.240
<v Speaker 4>whole Superman booth in there.

293
00:12:58.399 --> 00:12:58.799
<v Speaker 3>Nice.

294
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Nice and the weather, I mean, it didn't rain the

295
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.559
<v Speaker 2>entire day, but you know, it just was in all aspects.

296
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:09.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not saying this to complain, because it was

297
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.159
<v Speaker 2>pretty It was pretty awesome to be there as long

298
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.480
<v Speaker 2>as we were. And realize one that you can absolutely

299
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.600
<v Speaker 2>stay dry there and the majority of of of you know,

300
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.600
<v Speaker 2>of the day, if you want to. But clearly nobody

301
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.039
<v Speaker 2>cared because again, the Derby's just simply not something you're

302
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:24.279
<v Speaker 2>making arrangements for, especially if you travel, and especially if

303
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 2>you have got you know, if you're up in a

304
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.759
<v Speaker 2>covered area where you know they wouldn't even allow us

305
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.000
<v Speaker 2>in with the credential, like you don't mean you're never

306
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna get wet. You probably got somebody holding an umbrella

307
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:34.679
<v Speaker 2>for you. Till you get indoors and then you're just

308
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:36.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, you're good to go for the rest of

309
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.639
<v Speaker 2>the day. But that you know, that really stood out

310
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.320
<v Speaker 2>is that there wasn't any really get there was no

311
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.720
<v Speaker 2>givea damn about Oh man, I'm not going to enjoy

312
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:45.879
<v Speaker 2>myself because the weather. I mean, again, it's such a

313
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.039
<v Speaker 2>big deal to a lot of people. And I mean

314
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:51.720
<v Speaker 2>even if you are somebody with endless amounts of money,

315
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:54.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's still a special thing that I would imagine,

316
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:57.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, it would totally ruin the experience if you

317
00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:59.399
<v Speaker 2>just bummed about the weather. But again, the weather was

318
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:02.679
<v Speaker 2>not good, but it didn't matter, especially as far as

319
00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:05.039
<v Speaker 2>just the the overall viewership. I know, people watching on

320
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.639
<v Speaker 2>TV would likely not be you know, outdoors, so weather

321
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.639
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't impact. But if you know, if there's ever any

322
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.919
<v Speaker 2>fear that maybe maybe the millions of people who tune

323
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:18.279
<v Speaker 2>in to watch the Derby that never watch horse racing

324
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.200
<v Speaker 2>other than Derby, if there was any fear that like,

325
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe they wouldn't be as interested if the if the

326
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.720
<v Speaker 2>track was sloppy, that that worry should not exist, because

327
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:30.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think I saw seventeen point seven million

328
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.480
<v Speaker 2>viewers Yeah, that's what NBC Sports announced yesterday, marking the

329
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.960
<v Speaker 2>largest Kentucky Derby audience since nineteen eighty nine. So, I mean,

330
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.000
<v Speaker 2>that's that's it tells you, and it puts it in

331
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:44.200
<v Speaker 2>perspective just how I mean, how much attention is on

332
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:47.559
<v Speaker 2>these two minutes when we have the annual Derby race

333
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:50.879
<v Speaker 2>every year here and again. I tried to pay I

334
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:52.919
<v Speaker 2>told myself I was gonna maybe pay a little little

335
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:55.559
<v Speaker 2>attention to the national broadcast when the race ran, but

336
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:57.519
<v Speaker 2>I totally forgot about it. But you know, if you

337
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:01.000
<v Speaker 2>are just tuning in to just watch it because you're

338
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:04.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't know, maybe you're in Florida or

339
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:07.080
<v Speaker 2>New York or Texas and you know, you just know, Hey,

340
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:08.759
<v Speaker 2>the big sporting event today is the Derby. So I'm

341
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:10.799
<v Speaker 2>gonna I'm at a I'm at a bar, I'm gonna

342
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:12.120
<v Speaker 2>pull it up, or I'm at my house. I'm gonna

343
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:13.720
<v Speaker 2>make sure and turn it on the TV. Whatever it

344
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.120
<v Speaker 2>is like when you just tune in for that, how

345
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.200
<v Speaker 2>much of what that brought that that experience is do

346
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.200
<v Speaker 2>they even talk about like Louisville. I think most people

347
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.039
<v Speaker 2>know Churchill Downs is in you know, Kentucky, because it's

348
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.000
<v Speaker 2>the Kentucky Derby, But I don't know just the amount

349
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.200
<v Speaker 2>of exposure that that that is on that that event

350
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:34.360
<v Speaker 2>just you know, it's there's nothing else like it, really,

351
00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:36.559
<v Speaker 2>And what I mean is that there are different sporting

352
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.200
<v Speaker 2>events that get crazy big numbers, but this is a

353
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.039
<v Speaker 2>two minute race. Now again, maybe that makes it a

354
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.320
<v Speaker 2>little bit more appealing because they know they're not making

355
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:47.480
<v Speaker 2>some long commitment. But again, I found myself really last

356
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.720
<v Speaker 2>week leading up to it, and then of course the

357
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.519
<v Speaker 2>day itself, really just trying to live in the moment

358
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:55.720
<v Speaker 2>and and really appreciate this awesome event that we have

359
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.000
<v Speaker 2>and you know, being able to be a part of it.

360
00:15:58.039 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Clearly I'm not like a part of the Derby experience

361
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:02.200
<v Speaker 2>anybody else, but being able to cover it for our

362
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.799
<v Speaker 2>team on has is something that you know, I shouldn't

363
00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:07.960
<v Speaker 2>take for granted, and I'm gonna I'm gonna certainly try

364
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.600
<v Speaker 2>not to. Now, some other things we'll get into throughout

365
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:14.519
<v Speaker 2>the throughout the day, because I always tried to find

366
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.960
<v Speaker 2>some takeaways from you know, post Derby that that maybe

367
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.200
<v Speaker 2>aren't just about the race itself. That's kind of you know,

368
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:22.480
<v Speaker 2>where that's my comfort zone when it comes to talking derby.

369
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:24.679
<v Speaker 2>I think you certainly learned that in the last couple

370
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:28.759
<v Speaker 2>of weeks. But to see the the trainer of the

371
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 2>derby winner, you know, him and his family end up

372
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:33.240
<v Speaker 2>at some like and I'll get to the specific STU

373
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:35.159
<v Speaker 2>off it, but end up at a at a local

374
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:38.279
<v Speaker 2>watering hole here in the Louisville area, like imagine how

375
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know if there's a connection, and

376
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:41.639
<v Speaker 2>I'll certainly look into it to see if I can

377
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:44.559
<v Speaker 2>figure something out. But there's one specific local bar here

378
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:47.600
<v Speaker 2>that you know, probably couldn't have paid for the type

379
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:51.600
<v Speaker 2>of like cool random exposure they got by somebody you

380
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:54.240
<v Speaker 2>know in their family winning the Kentucky Derby and then

381
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.440
<v Speaker 2>showing up late at night to kind of celebrate there.

382
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.279
<v Speaker 2>So that's just cool things that like, you know, I

383
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:01.879
<v Speaker 2>find to be interesting maybe than others. But anyways, we're

384
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.599
<v Speaker 2>we're loaded today, trust me, We're we're gonna mix it up.

385
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:06.599
<v Speaker 2>We're not just going to talk post Derby that kind

386
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:09.759
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. But it does really feel like when when

387
00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:12.920
<v Speaker 2>it's Derby week and of course Derby weekend, I know

388
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:14.920
<v Speaker 2>that there's other things going on in sports, obviously the

389
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:17.279
<v Speaker 2>NBA playoffs and you know, the NFL has never not

390
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.359
<v Speaker 2>talked about. We still have a ton of players in

391
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:21.640
<v Speaker 2>the portal, so like there's things we'll get into, but

392
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:23.599
<v Speaker 2>it kind of it kind of feels like everything just

393
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:26.519
<v Speaker 2>stops whenever the Derby is is is upon us here.

394
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.759
<v Speaker 2>So it's not that we haven't had, you know, much

395
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.240
<v Speaker 2>to get into. It's just obviously the Derby takes up

396
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.359
<v Speaker 2>a lot of attention, as as it should and always will.

397
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:35.839
<v Speaker 2>But if you guys want to take us with you

<v Speaker 2>Talk seven ninety.

408
00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Coffee and Open a fueled by Thornton's

409
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:11.839
<v Speaker 1>on Sports Talk seven nine day.

410
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:14.039
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes we get, you know, just caught up in our

411
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:18.160
<v Speaker 2>own bubble, and maybe we have things that occur here

412
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:20.759
<v Speaker 2>that I just assume are really rare, and maybe it's

413
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:25.319
<v Speaker 2>pretty common. But yesterday I was still recovering from from

414
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.960
<v Speaker 2>a long Derby week and weekend. And when I say recover,

415
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.519
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't like I was, you know, I went like,

416
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I was in bed, no joke before ten

417
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:34.480
<v Speaker 2>o'clock on Saturday. So it wasn't like I had some crazy,

418
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:38.000
<v Speaker 2>lively evening to where I just was, you know, I

419
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.079
<v Speaker 2>was hammered or anything like that. That was more I

420
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.440
<v Speaker 2>guess Friday. I mean, it wasn't anything crazy again, I'm I'm,

421
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:45.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm me describing like having a fun night on a

422
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Friday would probably not be anything exciting to any of you.

423
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.759
<v Speaker 2>But I was so wore out by by Saturday. I

424
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:54.440
<v Speaker 2>set my recliner at nine thirty, just kind of thinking, okay,

425
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:56.799
<v Speaker 2>gonna wind down for a little while. I was completely

426
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.359
<v Speaker 2>passed out by ten o'clock. And you know, that's just

427
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.680
<v Speaker 2>what Derby Dale do to you. But I was away

428
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.440
<v Speaker 2>from social media for a little while Sunday yesterday, and

429
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.640
<v Speaker 2>then I get out my phone to see Mayor Craig

430
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Greenberg post two photos that show something that like you

431
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:14.880
<v Speaker 2>almost feel like is not real. It's got to be

432
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:17.960
<v Speaker 2>some kind of like Hollywood special effects to make it

433
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:19.279
<v Speaker 2>look like right. You know a lot of the things

434
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.039
<v Speaker 2>you see in those movies like the Avengers movies and

435
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Marvel stuff like you know that's like all created in

436
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:26.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, by you know, professionals. It's not like it's

437
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.640
<v Speaker 2>not real. Well there's another view of U, I guess.

438
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:30.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

439
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.119
<v Speaker 2>Another accident that took place on one of our bridges

440
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:36.960
<v Speaker 2>on sixty five south coming from Indiana, there was another

441
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:40.720
<v Speaker 2>wreck with a semi where a driver of a semi

442
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:45.000
<v Speaker 2>had to be rescued because they're eighteen wheeler was hanging

443
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.160
<v Speaker 2>off of the bridge. And like we had that happen

444
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:50.680
<v Speaker 2>about a year ago roughly maybe a little bit longer

445
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:53.640
<v Speaker 2>ago than that, and it seemed, I mean, it got

446
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:56.480
<v Speaker 2>national attention right, like it was a national story because

447
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.400
<v Speaker 2>just the optics of that of that person hanging to

448
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:05.000
<v Speaker 2>rescue a driver who was dangling across a bridge over

449
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:08.240
<v Speaker 2>the Ohio River, like it was insane. And then this one,

450
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:10.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, again what I'm seeing here from the photos,

451
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:12.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't want to downplay it, like all

452
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:14.640
<v Speaker 2>that's no big deal, you know, throw some dirt on it.

453
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:16.759
<v Speaker 2>You didn't even need the first responders to be hovering

454
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:18.400
<v Speaker 2>over the vehicle to get you out. Like, I don't

455
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.480
<v Speaker 2>want to act like this was not as bad, but

456
00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:22.559
<v Speaker 2>like I don't know, maybe it's the bridge that it

457
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.200
<v Speaker 2>is or where it is, but I mean, that just

458
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:27.839
<v Speaker 2>seems really crazy to happen once and we've had it

459
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:31.119
<v Speaker 2>happen now twice and at least, you know, a year

460
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:33.880
<v Speaker 2>and a half or something like that. So shout out

461
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:37.279
<v Speaker 2>to the to the first responders who you know that

462
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:39.319
<v Speaker 2>that may not be something they think they're gonna end

463
00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:41.759
<v Speaker 2>up getting into when they wake up and go to

464
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:44.599
<v Speaker 2>work every day. However, I guess you never really know

465
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:46.640
<v Speaker 2>what you're gonna end up getting into when you're a

466
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:49.359
<v Speaker 2>first responder. So yeah, again, I don't know what that

467
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:52.680
<v Speaker 2>says about the you know, the construction they did that

468
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:55.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, kind of re routed as soon as you

469
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:59.160
<v Speaker 2>cross over into the Kentucky side, but yeah, stay safe.

470
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:02.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean I cannot image being the person that is

471
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:06.079
<v Speaker 2>in that is in that vehicle that that you know,

472
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:07.799
<v Speaker 2>I guess is it called the cab of your eighteen

473
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:10.000
<v Speaker 2>wheeler you know, where like you sit and drive, you know,

474
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't I know nothing about cars. Sorry, So yeah,

475
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:16.559
<v Speaker 2>you're you're sitting in the cab and it's just, you know,

476
00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:20.519
<v Speaker 2>it's dangling, no joke, literally like hovering on the barricade

477
00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:23.039
<v Speaker 2>there and if you know, any slight movement seemingly it

478
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:25.640
<v Speaker 2>could just you know, I mean, it's connected to the

479
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:28.640
<v Speaker 2>to the actual, you know, to the actual the back

480
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.279
<v Speaker 2>half of the eighteen wheeler, the cargo, I guess, and

481
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:33.359
<v Speaker 2>that's probably what's keeping you there. But like I would,

482
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:35.799
<v Speaker 2>I would be I mean, I would pass out, like

483
00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:39.880
<v Speaker 2>I would faint just because of pure panic. But you know,

484
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:42.119
<v Speaker 2>shout out to everybody who you know was there to help,

485
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:44.680
<v Speaker 2>because that's a very very scary situation. And I was

486
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:46.559
<v Speaker 2>gonna say, not something you really ever see, but we've

487
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:48.720
<v Speaker 2>now seen it twice and I feel like a relatively

488
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:51.400
<v Speaker 2>short amount of time. But it's coffee and company we

489
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:53.599
<v Speaker 2>are feel about. Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

490
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for getting your your week started with us. Obviously

491
00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:59.559
<v Speaker 2>it's post Derby week and maybe you're still kind of

492
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:02.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe tomorrow's the day where you really get

493
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:03.839
<v Speaker 2>back into a groove. And if that's the case, I

494
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:06.720
<v Speaker 2>can tell you that I that I totally understand. And

495
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:09.400
<v Speaker 2>the weather today really gloomy earlier, and then I don't

496
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:11.680
<v Speaker 2>know if it's supposed to stay sloppy, but it was

497
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:15.160
<v Speaker 2>a pretty wet ride on my drive end. So yeah,

498
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:17.400
<v Speaker 2>that rains lingered, and it's just, you know, I wish

499
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:20.960
<v Speaker 2>you would go away. I now found myself very much

500
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:24.240
<v Speaker 2>more appreciative of sunshine than I ever have. And I maybe,

501
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:26.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, not to make everything about me, but maybe

502
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:28.559
<v Speaker 2>mother Nature was really sending me a message here with

503
00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:30.799
<v Speaker 2>what she's done so far in twenty twenty five, because

504
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:34.279
<v Speaker 2>the conditions have not been ideal. But you know what,

505
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.039
<v Speaker 2>as mentioned earlier, they did not stop anybody from having

506
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:40.319
<v Speaker 2>a phenomenal, phenomenal Derby day, all right. Five O two

507
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:44.759
<v Speaker 2>four three eight ninety seventy three almost slipped up and

508
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:47.039
<v Speaker 2>said the old number, but the new Ellen and Federal

509
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Credit Union text line numbers five O two four three

510
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:51.880
<v Speaker 2>eight ninety seventy three. This text says, Nick, do you

511
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:55.240
<v Speaker 2>think that UFL coaches will start really selling Derby as

512
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:58.279
<v Speaker 2>an added bonus when it comes to getting players to

513
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:01.759
<v Speaker 2>come and play for Louisville. I mean, I would assume

514
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:05.720
<v Speaker 2>you've always, you know, maybe thrown that in there every

515
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:07.920
<v Speaker 2>now and then when it comes to like why Louisville,

516
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Why would you want to have your college experience at Louisville?

517
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:12.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Churchill downs is certainly one of the first

518
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:14.279
<v Speaker 2>things that comes to mind for a lot of people

519
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:17.640
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to this city. Understandably so, but you know,

520
00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:20.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess now that I'm thinking about it,

521
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:24.839
<v Speaker 2>Recruiting has really changed in a big way in the

522
00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:29.839
<v Speaker 2>last you know, couple of years, because you are you know,

523
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:32.640
<v Speaker 2>you can sell the things you've sold forever, right, Like

524
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:36.279
<v Speaker 2>the city is great, you would love to live here,

525
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.759
<v Speaker 2>you can get a great education, we have great fans,

526
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.039
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I mean the things that you know,

527
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:47.319
<v Speaker 2>and I'm sure to they still obviously mentioned that when

528
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:49.680
<v Speaker 2>they're really trying to sell somebody to come and play

529
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:52.960
<v Speaker 2>for them, rather it be a transfer, portal prospect or

530
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:54.599
<v Speaker 2>a kid that's right out of high school. Like you're

531
00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:56.880
<v Speaker 2>going to always mention things that are worth mentioning that

532
00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:59.319
<v Speaker 2>really do in fact, you know, it's good, it's a

533
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:01.720
<v Speaker 2>good thing to You wouldn't want to not include that.

534
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:05.160
<v Speaker 2>But now it really comes down, especially with transfers, and

535
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.480
<v Speaker 2>those are the most impactful, Like when it comes to

536
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.319
<v Speaker 2>your roster turning over year by year. I used to

537
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Speaker 2>only be freshmen. Now not at all. Now it's it's

538
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:17.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I shouldn't say not at all. Freshmen is

539
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:18.920
<v Speaker 2>still a part of that. But like when you think

540
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:21.000
<v Speaker 2>about what your team can do in the off season

541
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:23.519
<v Speaker 2>and which you hope your coach is out there you

542
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:26.720
<v Speaker 2>know doing it, it's going and getting players in the portal. Well,

543
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:28.720
<v Speaker 2>first of all, it's retaining guys that you don't want

544
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:30.240
<v Speaker 2>to leave that you know, if they were to hit

545
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.000
<v Speaker 2>the portal, it would you know, they'd be wanted by everybody.

546
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:35.400
<v Speaker 2>And then it's of course, you know, evaluating what's out

547
00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:37.559
<v Speaker 2>there and seeing if you can go put together the

548
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.160
<v Speaker 2>best roster possible. And I would say, if you are,

549
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:43.640
<v Speaker 2>here's where you could you could spin it, and it's

550
00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:45.839
<v Speaker 2>not really a spin, it's the truth. It's just different,

551
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:49.079
<v Speaker 2>right because when it comes to recruiting and really selling

552
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:50.920
<v Speaker 2>a young man or a young woman on why they

553
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:55.599
<v Speaker 2>would come and play for you, I mean, they would

554
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:57.559
<v Speaker 2>always be like eighteen year old kids that you're like

555
00:24:57.640 --> 00:24:59.799
<v Speaker 2>selling them on wash they should start their you know,

556
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, their their first time in life away from home.

557
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Why they should come and play for you and live

558
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:06.680
<v Speaker 2>in this city and go to this school. Well, now

559
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:09.160
<v Speaker 2>you're selling to I guess you could still be selling

560
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:12.519
<v Speaker 2>to younger, young adults. But like the biggest names I

561
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:14.160
<v Speaker 2>feel like we talk about in the portal every year

562
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:17.920
<v Speaker 2>for basketball and football. I mean, it's twenty one to

563
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 2>twenty two maybe twenty three year old grown ups.

564
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:21.240
<v Speaker 3>Right.

565
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:24.160
<v Speaker 2>So like case in Pryor, let me give you an example.

566
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:29.039
<v Speaker 2>He was at Derby celebrating, you know, and enjoying, you know,

567
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:31.000
<v Speaker 2>the atmosphere at Kentucky Derby. I just saw one of

568
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:34.680
<v Speaker 2>his Instagram posts and I'm thinking, now, you know, if

569
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:39.000
<v Speaker 2>you concluded like a Kentucky Derby experience as part of

570
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:43.759
<v Speaker 2>the NIL package, where you know, you get access to

571
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:46.839
<v Speaker 2>really anywhere you want to be at the Derby, you

572
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:50.559
<v Speaker 2>can get you know, you can Millionaire's Row or you know,

573
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:52.279
<v Speaker 2>maybe the mansion. I mean, I don't know how they

574
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:54.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't know how they'd be able to

575
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:55.480
<v Speaker 2>do that, but it wouldn't shock me if they've got

576
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:57.880
<v Speaker 2>people who can help them get access to like big

577
00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:00.480
<v Speaker 2>time athletes that you know, one of the reasons why

578
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:02.799
<v Speaker 2>they came here is because we told them that they'll

579
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:06.200
<v Speaker 2>get the best Derby experience possible because they'll be there,

580
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.240
<v Speaker 2>and they'll be in this room and this, and they'll

581
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:10.640
<v Speaker 2>be around all the celebrities. I mean, I mean, you

582
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:12.960
<v Speaker 2>can't really guarantee them anything other than hey, they can go.

583
00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:15.559
<v Speaker 2>But no, I mean, I think at this point it's

584
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:18.799
<v Speaker 2>so competitive and clearly money is going to always be

585
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.000
<v Speaker 2>a big big factor moving forward. But you know, maybe

586
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:24.319
<v Speaker 2>you're going to give somebody like, let's just let's just

587
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:27.440
<v Speaker 2>put it this way. Let's say Austin Montgomery is considering

588
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:30.960
<v Speaker 2>transferring to finish his college basketball career at ME. He's

589
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:32.640
<v Speaker 2>either going to go to the University of Louisville and

590
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:35.319
<v Speaker 2>play for Pat Kelsey or he's going to go to

591
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:38.720
<v Speaker 2>the University of Florida and play for Todd Golden and Gainesville.

592
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:41.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, and it's down to these two schools and

593
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:45.319
<v Speaker 2>both have have really sold him the same opportunity, both

594
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:48.279
<v Speaker 2>have the same style of play that suits his game,

595
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:51.480
<v Speaker 2>and both they're offering the exact same money. Well, if

596
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Louisville could then come in and say, look, we're also

597
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:55.680
<v Speaker 2>going to throw this on there that if you give

598
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:57.559
<v Speaker 2>us this commitment, you know, let's say it's March, your

599
00:26:57.640 --> 00:26:59.920
<v Speaker 2>season just ended, you know, if you're here about if

600
00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:03.039
<v Speaker 2>you're here by may, we've got a setup for you

601
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:05.920
<v Speaker 2>at Kentucky Derby that the expense of that, the cost

602
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:07.880
<v Speaker 2>would actually be a good chunk of what we're paying

603
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:10.039
<v Speaker 2>you to be here, because that's how special the Kentucky

604
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Derby is. That's where you can offer something that nobody

605
00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:16.319
<v Speaker 2>else can because you know the Derby of courses, and

606
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I guess maybe you k could do it too, to

607
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:19.559
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you, So to answer your question, I

608
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:21.240
<v Speaker 2>don't know if they utilize that, but why would they

609
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:23.920
<v Speaker 2>not try to throw something together because I mean, I

610
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:26.839
<v Speaker 2>imagine if you're twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, and

611
00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:30.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, you know how cool the Kentucky Derby experience is.

612
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:32.119
<v Speaker 2>You're going to go to a school that could maybe

613
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:34.200
<v Speaker 2>put you in a position to have the best experience

614
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:37.279
<v Speaker 2>to where you know. And also, I mean to see

615
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:40.160
<v Speaker 2>how many people were there Saturday, and I'm sure there's

616
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:41.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot that goes into their decision to go. But

617
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:44.240
<v Speaker 2>like I feel like a humongous part of Churchill Downs

618
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:45.960
<v Speaker 2>now is just to set up for people to get

619
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.839
<v Speaker 2>selfies and pictures to like show that they're there, which

620
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:50.880
<v Speaker 2>again that makes sense for Churchill Downs because you want

621
00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:53.400
<v Speaker 2>millions of people doing that to where others feel left out.

622
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:55.240
<v Speaker 2>They're like, oh, I got to get there. That looks

623
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:56.680
<v Speaker 2>cool as hell. I got to get a picture for

624
00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:59.119
<v Speaker 2>the GRAM if they even call it that anymore. I

625
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:01.160
<v Speaker 2>felt really old corny just saying that. But you know,

626
00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:03.279
<v Speaker 2>I think it used to be a saying. So to

627
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:06.000
<v Speaker 2>answer your question, I think it would be foolish not

628
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:08.359
<v Speaker 2>to include it. There may be some that don't care

629
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:10.200
<v Speaker 2>and don't even really know what it is, but you know,

630
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:12.759
<v Speaker 2>it can't hurt. And again, it's something that you can

631
00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:16.720
<v Speaker 2>utilize to your advantage that you know. I know there's

632
00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:19.200
<v Speaker 2>the Arkansas Derby, but I highly doubt that you know,

633
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:22.200
<v Speaker 2>it comes anything close to what we have here at

634
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:25.839
<v Speaker 2>Churchill Downs for the annual Kentucky Derby. All right, so

635
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Bill Mott, of course, you know he was a part

636
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:32.480
<v Speaker 2>of that winning crew on Saturday for Sovereignty, and I

637
00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:36.400
<v Speaker 2>just thought this was, you know, it's a random and

638
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, seemingly spontaneous way to celebrate that. I just

639
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:46.359
<v Speaker 2>feel like this this business, this restaurant, Joel Those Joel's

640
00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:50.079
<v Speaker 2>older than der which is like a beloved local dive bar,

641
00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:52.559
<v Speaker 2>it closed down for a little while and then reopen.

642
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:54.559
<v Speaker 2>I think under different ownership. I could be wrong. I'll

643
00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:56.440
<v Speaker 2>stand corrected if that's not the case. But I mean,

644
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:01.920
<v Speaker 2>it's it's it's it's been a known bar slash watering

645
00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:04.680
<v Speaker 2>hole around in the Louisville area for a long long time.

646
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:07.039
<v Speaker 2>And it's a really cool atmosphere too. I don't I'm

647
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:08.440
<v Speaker 2>not a regular by any means, but I've been a

648
00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:11.119
<v Speaker 2>handful of times, and uh, it's it's an awesome place.

649
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:13.240
<v Speaker 2>But I'm dying to know if there's some kind of

650
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:15.960
<v Speaker 2>a connection here, because there's a picture that that that

651
00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:18.599
<v Speaker 2>came out on I guess it was Saturday evening. It

652
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.559
<v Speaker 2>might have been Ed de Rosa who who first put

653
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:23.920
<v Speaker 2>it out on Twitter, because yeah, I think he grabbed

654
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:29.119
<v Speaker 2>it from someone's uh from someone's TikTok where it shows

655
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Bill Mott celebrating at at Joe's older than dirt.

656
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:34.200
<v Speaker 3>What's he really?

657
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

658
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:35.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah so but.

659
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:38.240
<v Speaker 2>But but think about being Joe's older than dirt, like

660
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:40.440
<v Speaker 2>and maybe there's a connection here, like maybe he like

661
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:42.440
<v Speaker 2>maybe they knew he was gonna come there regardless off

662
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:44.640
<v Speaker 2>his horse won or not, because you know, he he

663
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:47.720
<v Speaker 2>loves that place, but like you can get some real

664
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:50.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you're you're getting exposure here that you didn't

665
00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:52.359
<v Speaker 2>have to pay a dime for, you know what I mean, Like,

666
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:55.720
<v Speaker 2>cause it's just it's become a story that includes your business. Right,

667
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:57.960
<v Speaker 2>it's not a paid ad. He didn't show up there,

668
00:29:58.359 --> 00:30:00.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, to to you know, do the Hey, I'm

669
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Bill Maud And after winning the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs,

670
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.759
<v Speaker 2>I head right over to Joe's Older than Dirt Like yeah,

671
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:10.319
<v Speaker 2>but it's just spontaneous, but makes that that's an even

672
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:12.960
<v Speaker 2>bigger sales pitch, right, Like that's why the best way

673
00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:17.799
<v Speaker 2>to have someone endorse your product that has a platform

674
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:19.680
<v Speaker 2>is if for it to be real, to be genuine, Right,

675
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:22.359
<v Speaker 2>it's not, it's not just something that seems like a

676
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:25.599
<v Speaker 2>forced advertisement or something like that. So yeah, after the

677
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:29.400
<v Speaker 2>victory on Saturday, the Hall of Fame Trainer traveled about

678
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:33.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty minutes northeast to the Louisville neighborhood of London. First

679
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:39.000
<v Speaker 2>celebratory libations at Joe's Little than Dirt in this unreading

680
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:42.000
<v Speaker 2>dis directly from horse Racingnation dot com. So yeah, I

681
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:44.880
<v Speaker 2>mean again, like the story's better if they don't know,

682
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:46.519
<v Speaker 2>and it's just random. They're like, wait a second, are

683
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:48.319
<v Speaker 2>you kidding me? You're telling me that the guy who

684
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:50.759
<v Speaker 2>who just won the derby is the trainer who's a

685
00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Hall of famer who got his first Like you're telling

686
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:55.519
<v Speaker 2>me that he's celebrating with us at at our. And

687
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I hate saying dive bar because you know, makes it

688
00:30:58.039 --> 00:30:59.839
<v Speaker 2>sound like it's it's you know, it's a whatever type

689
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:01.400
<v Speaker 2>of place. But you know, I think, you know what,

690
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:04.400
<v Speaker 2>when I say die bar, I mean respect. That's that's

691
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:06.200
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. Because I think a lot of places

692
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:07.920
<v Speaker 2>want to pop up and be a dive bar, but

693
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:10.400
<v Speaker 2>you gotta build it. You got to grow it. He

694
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:12.400
<v Speaker 2>can't just say you're a dive bar. You gotta have

695
00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:14.839
<v Speaker 2>the history, you gotta you know, you gotta work for it.

696
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:17.240
<v Speaker 4>I like Joe, I bet it was pretty crowded that night.

697
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:19.079
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, it usually is on a Saturday.

698
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:20.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh man.

699
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:22.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because there's some that are you know, built different,

700
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:24.680
<v Speaker 2>meaning they're able to do it. I wouldn't. I wouldn't

701
00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:26.039
<v Speaker 2>have been able to do it. But like when they

702
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:27.920
<v Speaker 2>leave Churchill, they're none is going on home, like they're

703
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:31.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna go probably find a spot like Joe's older than dirt,

704
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:33.279
<v Speaker 2>have a few more drinks, keep the night going as

705
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:35.480
<v Speaker 2>best they can. And you know, if they did it

706
00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:37.400
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday, they were they were able to be around

707
00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:39.440
<v Speaker 2>the uh, they were able to be around Bill Mont.

708
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:41.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what time he was there, because obviously

709
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:44.519
<v Speaker 2>he's got obligations right after, you know, winning the Kentucky

710
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:47.079
<v Speaker 2>Derby to you know, still be at Churchill Downs all

711
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:47.799
<v Speaker 2>that kind of stuff.

712
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:50.000
<v Speaker 4>But even cooler if he had the horse trailer there

713
00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:53.599
<v Speaker 4>with sovereignty. Yeah, that would be about advertisement.

714
00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:58.000
<v Speaker 2>That would be amazing. That'd be amazing. So let's see

715
00:31:58.039 --> 00:31:59.680
<v Speaker 2>and and I'm sorry, I guess did Bill Mont was

716
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:00.599
<v Speaker 2>that his first derby?

717
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:02.880
<v Speaker 4>Because I thought that was his first true derby He

718
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:08.680
<v Speaker 4>won with country House disqualify or the uh that's disqualified?

719
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:09.240
<v Speaker 3>I think it was.

720
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:13.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm reading here from from a horse Racing Nation dot com.

721
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:15.799
<v Speaker 2>This is a quote from Bill modesys. After we won

722
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:17.599
<v Speaker 2>in twenty nineteen with country House, it was hard to

723
00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:20.079
<v Speaker 2>get anywhere, so we ended up here. We had such

724
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:22.359
<v Speaker 2>a good time, we decided to make it a tradition

725
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:23.480
<v Speaker 2>and we've come back every year since.

726
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:23.880
<v Speaker 3>So there you go.

727
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:25.759
<v Speaker 2>There's there's the story that I was looking. There's there's

728
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:27.880
<v Speaker 2>the update I was looking for. So maybe they were

729
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:31.000
<v Speaker 2>expecting him because they knew he'd come through and he'd

730
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:33.799
<v Speaker 2>been there before. But either way, congrats to everybody involved

731
00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:35.599
<v Speaker 2>that Joe's older than dirt. Because again, I love when

732
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:37.880
<v Speaker 2>it comes together like that, to where you didn't have

733
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.559
<v Speaker 2>to pay a dime. You just have a cool atmosphere.

734
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:43.400
<v Speaker 2>It cut a cool bar that you know people like

735
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:46.319
<v Speaker 2>and you they'd have to pay to get you there.

736
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:48.240
<v Speaker 2>You'd have to pay to get them there. They're just

737
00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:50.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're showing up because they like it. And

738
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:52.200
<v Speaker 2>then it becomes a big story because because again he

739
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.279
<v Speaker 2>just won the Derby, which of course is a pretty

740
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:55.079
<v Speaker 2>big deal, there's.

741
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:55.799
<v Speaker 3>Live music going.

742
00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:58.960
<v Speaker 4>I can imagine just buckets of Miller Lyte at at

743
00:32:59.160 --> 00:32:59.799
<v Speaker 4>at his table.

744
00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:00.559
<v Speaker 3>That that's awesome.

745
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:03.759
<v Speaker 2>I love and I'm reading this says in nineteen ninety nine,

746
00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:07.400
<v Speaker 2>de Wayne Lucas celebrated winning the Derby. He had charismatic

747
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:11.839
<v Speaker 2>he was at Old Charlie's and which you know that's

748
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:14.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't is there are there even any Old Charlie's left?

749
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean, that's sincerely, I'm not sure if

750
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:17.200
<v Speaker 2>there are any around here.

751
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:20.440
<v Speaker 4>There might be like one, I think there's still one

752
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:22.160
<v Speaker 4>surviving out on Dixie Highway.

753
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Then it says here that he followed it up, meaning

754
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Lucas did with a visit to Wendy's after winning in

755
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:32.319
<v Speaker 2>the twenty twenty two Kentucky Oaks with secret oaths. So

756
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I guess these guys have these guys have you know

757
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:38.279
<v Speaker 2>plate Mew I would imagine by now, if you're in

758
00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:40.440
<v Speaker 2>this business, you know that where you end up after

759
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:42.160
<v Speaker 2>winning the Oaks for the Derby, it's going to become

760
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:44.319
<v Speaker 2>a story, especially with the internet being what it is now.

761
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:46.799
<v Speaker 2>So who knows, maybe it could be your establishment that

762
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:49.319
<v Speaker 2>one of these winning trainers shows up to it at

763
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:51.039
<v Speaker 2>some point. All right, let's do this quick break. We'll

764
00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:53.000
<v Speaker 2>come back on the other side. Let you hear our

765
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Derby montage of all of our coverage on Saturday for

766
00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:58.640
<v Speaker 2>the first time. Really really happy to be a part

767
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:00.440
<v Speaker 2>of that and really proud of all of that went

768
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:03.559
<v Speaker 2>into it. So, I mean a lot of our coverage.

769
00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:05.119
<v Speaker 2>There was a big, big crew. But shout out to

770
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Jim Finn who puts this together every year and does

771
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:08.800
<v Speaker 2>a great job doing it. So stick around. That's coming

775
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Day, well done, Austin Love. This song will never not

776
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.840
<v Speaker 2>be nostalgic for me. I had to and it's a

777
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:24.519
<v Speaker 2>perfect way to get us right into this. This is

778
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:27.639
<v Speaker 2>our annual montage of all of our coverage that we

779
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:30.000
<v Speaker 2>have from start to finish of the Kentucky Derby. So

780
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:37.840
<v Speaker 2>here we go, just a taste of what we did

781
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:40.239
<v Speaker 2>throughout the entire day. Let's get to a quick time out.

782
00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:42.159
<v Speaker 2>We'll come and let you hear the other end of

783
00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:44.320
<v Speaker 2>the other half of that once we get into the

784
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:46.199
<v Speaker 2>four o'clock hour. We're not going to go right into it,

785
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:47.639
<v Speaker 2>but we'll let you hear the other half of it

786
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:50.079
<v Speaker 2>before too long. So stick around. We got to take

787
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:51.760
<v Speaker 2>a quick break. We'll come back two more hours. Left
