Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: John. It is six oh five here at Kentucky and
Speaker 2: his morning news on news Radio eight forty whas Nick Coffee,
Speaker 2: Scott Fitzgerald, you just heard John Shannon there. We also
Speaker 2: have John Alden running the operation. And John told me
Speaker 2: some good news earlier. He got a nap in. He
Speaker 2: got a napping.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I got a ninety minute nap in yesterday.
Speaker 3: And as you mentioned earlier in the show, Nick, that
Speaker 3: is very hard to come by when you have a
Speaker 3: baby that is still in the newborn phase. But thankfully
Speaker 3: both my wife and I were able to get a
Speaker 3: little shut eye yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just wanted to tell you this as hard
Speaker 2: as it it's okay, sorry, as it is, as tough
Speaker 2: as it is at times, just with you know, running
Speaker 2: on fumes and this stage of the of being a
Speaker 2: new parent, it can be it can be taxing, to
Speaker 2: say the least. I'm going to tell you what a
Speaker 2: billion people told me, and I thought they were sincere.
Speaker 2: I never thought they were lying. It's just it becomes
Speaker 2: repetitive and you're really in such a different state of
Speaker 2: mind when you become a new parent. But it does
Speaker 2: in fact go fast. So we have three different eras
Speaker 2: of here, Scott, your kids are old enough to be
Speaker 2: starting college now in college. My son he'll start school
Speaker 2: next year, kindergarten. My daughter, she's eight. And obviously John
Speaker 2: just became a parent. And yesterday this it was so
Speaker 2: my son's birthday was on Sunday, and yesterday marked five
Speaker 2: years exactly that he came home from the hospital, which
Speaker 2: was also yesterday, was the first day he ever went
Speaker 2: to a to a camp. He went to a basketball camp.
Speaker 2: And I'm just thinking, where does where does time go?
Speaker 2: So I'll be I'll be the person that tells you
Speaker 2: what you've probably heard a million times, John, that it
Speaker 2: goes by fast. So just you know, cherish it, soak
Speaker 2: it all in because you'll miss it. It may sound crazy,
Speaker 2: but you'll miss it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, remember the firstlas nights though, I do think, and
Speaker 3: there's already moments that I miss, Like she was so
Speaker 3: small when we brought her home, because she was early,
Speaker 3: and that was a unique thing about our daughter compared
Speaker 3: to most people who have you know, babies that go
Speaker 3: all the way to term. And now she's the regular
Speaker 3: sized baby and so and obviously we want her to grow,
Speaker 3: but it's still one of those things where you back
Speaker 3: on it like wow, like she was so tiny just
Speaker 3: seven weeks ago and now she's a regular sized human baby.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it goes quick, and at that stage they it
Speaker 2: changes really really quick. I mean, yeah, I have a
Speaker 2: nephew who is a little I think he's right around
Speaker 2: two months old, and I was looking at a picture
Speaker 2: within like a ten day window of a picture that
Speaker 2: I had with him, and then I saw him and
Speaker 2: I'm like, it looks not doesn't look like a different kid.
Speaker 2: But man, a lot of growth in such a little
Speaker 2: amount of time, in those early days, weeks and months
Speaker 2: of you know, of a human's life. But there's so
Speaker 2: many different AI platforms that can do so many different
Speaker 2: things for you. And I'm sure that'll be a continued
Speaker 2: conversation just because it never ceases to amaze me what
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence can do. But there's an app called Visify
Speaker 2: that will let you take a picture of your child
Speaker 2: and you can put in their age, and I think
Speaker 2: you upload multiple different pictures of your kid and you
Speaker 2: can then see what they'll look like is they get old.
Speaker 2: And I can't do it. I don't think I'm already
Speaker 2: worried about my kids growing up too fast when I
Speaker 2: look at I mean, social media has been a great
Speaker 2: way to always go back and look at pictures that
Speaker 2: you post, and you know that wasn't around whenever I
Speaker 2: was a kid. So I'm sure my parents wish they
Speaker 2: had more pictures of me and my sister, Or maybe
Speaker 2: they don't. I don't know. Maybe that's just me thinking
Speaker 2: that they do. But what I'm saying is when I
Speaker 2: go back and look at pictures of them a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago and see how much they've grown, it
Speaker 2: makes me sad. If I was to see a picture
Speaker 2: of what my son or my daughter may look like
Speaker 2: when they're teenagers or when they're you know, young adults,
Speaker 2: it would it would first of all, I think it
Speaker 2: would look really very much realistic, which would scare me,
Speaker 2: and I would it would make me though, well, now
Speaker 2: I've already seen what they're gonna look like, you know,
Speaker 2: I guess I'll just, you know, try to make the
Speaker 2: most of these years.
Speaker 3: I can imagine saving the AI photo and then comparing
Speaker 3: them with what they actually look like at whatever year
Speaker 3: you've chosen to see them grow up.
Speaker 2: I mean, would anybody be shocked if you did that
Speaker 2: and it was accurate.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know.
Speaker 4: It's almost like you guys are in the same church,
Speaker 4: different pere. Remember when folks didn't want to know the
Speaker 4: sex of their child, Yeah, and we didn't with our kids.
Speaker 1: I purpose, was.
Speaker 2: It more traditional at that time or was it?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think it was just true.
Speaker 4: The technology wasn't Yeah, and it was traditional, but with
Speaker 4: both our kids we decided we did not want to
Speaker 4: know the sex of our kids. We had an idea
Speaker 4: and that was awesome. But you know, everybody runs a
Speaker 4: different race. Everybody's painting it with a different br Some
Speaker 4: folks like to know because then you can from pare
Speaker 4: a nursery, you from hair clothes, et cetera.
Speaker 1: And that's great.
Speaker 4: But what my wife did really good at was at
Speaker 4: the time unisex rooms were the way to go, and
Speaker 4: she did.
Speaker 1: A great job.
Speaker 4: So it turns out for us we preferred that option.
Speaker 4: And like hearing you guys talk about AI, I don't
Speaker 4: know that I want to know what my kids are
Speaker 4: going on.
Speaker 2: Well, I can tell you this. I would have been
Speaker 2: okay the first time around not knowing and been surprised.
Speaker 2: My wife much different and she she kind of calls
Speaker 2: the shots when it comes to that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: And I do think after we had our daughter Maya,
Speaker 2: the scenario where well, for us, it was Okay, we
Speaker 2: want to know because we need to find out or
Speaker 2: we're going to have to buy boy clothes because if not,
Speaker 2: we keep all these hand me downs and that saves
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff. So but I would have been
Speaker 2: I think I I would have been excited of the
Speaker 2: anticipation of not knowing what you're going to have. But yeah,
Speaker 2: good stuff. All right, We've got another update of traffic
Speaker 2: and weather coming your way right here, right now. It
Speaker 2: is six' ten At. Kentucky it's morning news on News
Speaker 2: radio eight FORTY whas six Sixteen here At kentucky its Morning.
Speaker 2: News Good wednesday morning to, You. Nit coffee with, you
Speaker 2: don't forget. You guys can take us with you wherever you.
Speaker 2: Go listen live on THE Ahet radio. App also listen
Speaker 2: live AT whas dot. Com the continued growth of The
Speaker 2: louisville film industry has been well covered in recent. Years
Speaker 2: a lot Of pigton. Productions in, fact in twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: FOUR i think there were a total of twenty seven
Speaker 2: films that were produced here in the city Of, louisville
Speaker 2: Which i'm sure some of you have seen the crews
Speaker 2: that are in place when these things are in production
Speaker 2: and they're, filming and it's hard to not notice it
Speaker 2: Because i've never been on A hollywood, set OR i
Speaker 2: guess just a movie set where they're filming a movie
Speaker 2: and not a big surprise that there's a whole lot
Speaker 2: that goes into that to where it's hard to not
Speaker 2: notice what they're. Doing it's not somebody out there with
Speaker 2: a camera and a few. PEOPLE i, mean usually there's
Speaker 2: a lot OF i, mean they had to shut blocks
Speaker 2: down in order to you, know film certain things and.
Speaker 2: Whatnot so to, me That's i'm kind of a nerd
Speaker 2: for that. Stuff but once once we get to The
Speaker 2: Louisvill gardens and that renovation being, COMPLETED i mean there's
Speaker 2: a ten million dollar investment that's going to transform The
Speaker 2: Louisville gardens to a state of the art production. STUDIO
Speaker 2: i mean this it's going to be i think two indoor,
Speaker 2: soundstages forty thousand square feet of office, space and they're
Speaker 2: trying to put trying to attract more major film and television,
Speaker 2: productions which is good for the. City there's no doubt about.
Speaker 2: IT i, mean The Hollywood reporter has Mentioned louisville as
Speaker 2: one of the up and coming locations for film, production
Speaker 2: which again that's. Exciting, however there's currently a film that
Speaker 2: is that WAS i think filming it had just gotten
Speaker 2: started Late april Early, may and it happens to feature
Speaker 2: a pretty well though and i'd say pretty famous. Actor
Speaker 2: but the crew AND i don't know the specifics of,
Speaker 2: it do have some details we can get to later
Speaker 2: when we reset, this but they're on. STRIKE i guess
Speaker 2: there's some there's a there's there's a fight to GET
Speaker 2: i guess, better better, resources better accommodations for those that
Speaker 2: are working on this. Film but while they're working that,
Speaker 2: out this big name, Actor Terrence howard is apparently still In.
Speaker 2: Louisville there's people who are seeing him out and about
Speaker 2: and taking. Pictures and if it was, ME i would
Speaker 2: AND i didn't know that they were filming movie here
Speaker 2: and he was. HERE i, MEAN i think if you
Speaker 2: google it you'll find. Out but IF i was to
Speaker 2: just see, HIM i don't. Know Walking let's say we're
Speaker 2: pulling out of the parking garage and he's sit right
Speaker 2: here on the corner Of Fifth. STREET i would just, assume,
Speaker 2: well there's no way That's Terrence howard because that would
Speaker 2: be that would be way too, random, Right why would
Speaker 2: he be at ten thirty am on the, block you,
Speaker 2: know in Downtown. Louisville so you gotta one if your
Speaker 2: celebrity and you are spotted in a. Place let me
Speaker 2: give you an. Example if you see if It's Derby
Speaker 2: week and you see somebody in, there you, know Near Churchill,
Speaker 2: downs you would be more more willing to, Believe, okay
Speaker 2: that really Is Brad, pitt that really is you know,
Speaker 2: whoever some big name. Celebrity, yeah but so seeing, them
Speaker 2: AND i think people who see celebrities and want to
Speaker 2: get the, selfie they're clearly going to be really excited
Speaker 2: and it's going to be oh, WOW i can't believe
Speaker 2: you know you're. Here but there's gotta be some there's
Speaker 2: got to be a time where you not not you
Speaker 2: not meeting. Us But i'm sure there's many over the
Speaker 2: years that have had an encounter with a celebrity and
Speaker 2: just refuse to believe that was actually, them but it
Speaker 2: was you know WHAT i, Mean YEAH i did.
Speaker 1: THAT i did. THAT a couple of. Times.
Speaker 4: ONE i Saw wayne fonce when he coached The. Lions
Speaker 4: we went to The. Raiders we were out on The
Speaker 4: West coast and we were just hanging out And Wayne
Speaker 4: fonce came walking by. Us the other one And i'll
Speaker 4: never forget, this this was at the height of his,
Speaker 4: heyday was WHEN i Saw Howard. STERN i used to
Speaker 4: go To New York city on vacation WHEN i was
Speaker 4: a single guy AND i could afford to do.
Speaker 1: It and this was back in the early.
Speaker 2: Nineties but you knew it Was. Stern you knew, it
Speaker 2: so that wouldn't.
Speaker 4: Believe, well, yeah the time is bigger than, life and
Speaker 4: you get that feeling inside. You we're, like holy you know,
Speaker 4: what That's Howard. Stern you, KNOW i know exactly what
Speaker 4: you're talking.
Speaker 1: About.
Speaker 2: Dude, YEAH i want to reset this a little bit,
Speaker 2: later because, AGAIN i think the random celebrity sightings that
Speaker 2: ended up being. TRUE i mean most people probably have questions,
Speaker 2: like what the hell are you doing? Here, Yeah usually
Speaker 2: you find out there's a, reason a filming of, something
Speaker 2: or maybe they just you, know for whatever, reason ended
Speaker 2: up in a place you would never. EXPECT i have
Speaker 2: a story actually WHERE i ended up running into somebody
Speaker 2: WHO i refused to believe was such, person then later
Speaker 2: found out that it, Was so we can get it
Speaker 2: that a little bit later. On but we do have
Speaker 2: another update On traffick and weather coming up right. Now
Speaker 2: scott has an update on sports coming up in five,
Speaker 2: minutes and we are ten minutes away from your latest
Speaker 2: news update From John. Shannon It's kentucky and It's Morning
Speaker 2: news at six twenty right here on News radio eight forty.
Speaker 2: Whas thank, You, john at is six thirty five Here
Speaker 2: kentucky and It's Morning news On NewsRadio eight forty. Whas,
Speaker 2: so if you are active On, facebook Maybe, instagram MAYBE
Speaker 2: x you might have seen some folks posting photos Of Terrence,
Speaker 2: howard who has been In louisville filming a movie THAT
Speaker 2: i guess is on pause because of a strike with
Speaker 2: the production. Crew and the latest PICTURE i saw was.
Speaker 2: YESTERDAY i don't know when it was. Taken it might
Speaker 2: actually be you just never. Know somebody could have taken
Speaker 2: the picture weeks. Prior but he is here, filming and
Speaker 2: there has been some coverage of him being, spotted and
Speaker 2: that fascinates me just because if you did not know
Speaker 2: that the movie was being filmed, here you would just, assume,
Speaker 2: well there's just no way HE'S i think he was
Speaker 2: at a breakfast spot maybe in The. Highlands that then
Speaker 2: that's what ended up getting getting some news. Coverage BUT
Speaker 2: i don't have a story quite like. That but have
Speaker 2: you ever seen the Movie harold And. Kumar, yeah with.
Speaker 2: It SO i was In Kansas. City this was years,
Speaker 2: ago AND i was at a casino sports bar AND
Speaker 2: i was really just buying time BEFORE i had to
Speaker 2: catch a cab to go to the airport and. Leave
Speaker 2: AND i wasn't REAL i was only there like maybe
Speaker 2: actually probably less than forty eight, hours SO i wasn't
Speaker 2: really familiar with the. Facility they had a comedy club
Speaker 2: AND i didn't know. It and WHILE i was sitting
Speaker 2: at the, bar just getting a meal and a couple
Speaker 2: of drinks BEFORE i head to the airport and, LEAVE
Speaker 2: i spotted somebody across from me that looked, really really.
Speaker 2: Familiar But i'm, thinking, well there's no way that would
Speaker 2: be too, random and it was somebody sitting by. Himself
Speaker 2: he was noticeably there longer than, most AND i was
Speaker 2: there longer than most because AGAIN i was just killing.
Speaker 2: TIME i had to check out AND i was waiting
Speaker 2: for my waiting for my cab to come and get.
Speaker 2: Me that was back before you did uber lyft and
Speaker 2: all that kind of. Stuff and it turns out it
Speaker 2: Was john cho who is who is In harold And.
Speaker 2: Kumar AND i don't think he's actually known much for stand,
Speaker 2: up but he was doing some type of stand up
Speaker 2: thing because they had a comedy club in the. Casino
Speaker 2: AND i, just you, KNOW i just assumed it would
Speaker 2: be too random for him being, here you, know killing
Speaker 2: time on a weekday at like. Noon you, know it
Speaker 2: just wasn't something you expected to. See AND i don't
Speaker 2: know IF i would have had any kind OF i,
Speaker 2: mean HAD i known for sure it was, HIM i
Speaker 2: don't know IF i would have walked up and, said, hey,
Speaker 2: Hello i'm a. Fan it's just not really my. Nature
Speaker 2: i'm more of an. Introvert but you got to think
Speaker 2: if your celebrity this ding. Is if You're Terrence howard
Speaker 2: and you're walking around Downtown louisville and people come up to,
Speaker 2: you nine out of ten people who have an interaction with,
Speaker 2: you maybe maybe ten out of ten would more so say,
Speaker 2: hey CAN i get a? Picture CAN i get a,
Speaker 2: Selfie like autographs have to be. Dead what are you
Speaker 2: doing with an autoback of a celebrity? Anymore let's it's
Speaker 2: memorabilia with like.
Speaker 1: Sports, yep that's a great.
Speaker 4: Point AND i think you can tell when you see
Speaker 4: the celebrities that don't want to be. Bothered oh, sure
Speaker 4: because they're all done. Up you know they're, celebrity but there,
Speaker 4: sunglasses the, hat so you leave them. Alone but, YEAH
Speaker 4: i saw the same picture you did Of Terrence, howard
Speaker 4: AND i Think terrence would be okay.
Speaker 2: Where he gave the. Smirk, yeah, yeah AND i think
Speaker 2: he would be. Okay it's like if You're i'm answering
Speaker 2: your question by looking at you like this that this is.
Speaker 1: Me yeah, Yeah AND i think you'd be okay with
Speaker 1: people coming. Up and we've seen that.
Speaker 4: Before and it was funny BECAUSE i was looking at
Speaker 4: some of the other Films, nick when you brought that,
Speaker 4: up of films that are made here In.
Speaker 1: Louisville obviously the most favorite of. Stripes oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah and if you go back and White, stripes you
Speaker 4: can see the different landmarks and how downtown has.
Speaker 1: Changed it's.
Speaker 2: Funny growing UP i had had friends who's, parents.
Speaker 1: So, YEAH i. WAS i was an.
Speaker 2: EXTRA i was if you go to if you go
Speaker 2: to this part of the movie at this, minute you'll
Speaker 2: see me in that.
Speaker 1: Ground well, see and that's.
Speaker 4: IT i love my Old kentucky dinner train Because i'm
Speaker 4: a big train. Nerd and when my wife took me,
Speaker 4: down it did not realize That stripes was. Filmed they
Speaker 4: took us right by the place that we thought Was,
Speaker 4: czechoslovakia and so now it.
Speaker 1: Was it was there In.
Speaker 4: Bardstown but you Had secretariat was filmed, here which was
Speaker 4: a good.
Speaker 1: Movie. Elizabethtown that's. Right it was filmed just down.
Speaker 4: Here AND i remember coming down here One, saturday AND
Speaker 4: i still haven't figured out which film it. Is but
Speaker 4: they were filming outside the selback about two thirty in the. Morning,
Speaker 4: Wow and it was a it was a nineteen thirty
Speaker 4: setup because they had all the Old dusenberg's out, front
Speaker 4: and it was very elaborate and they were moving equipment.
Speaker 4: Around And joe AND i have been trying to figure
Speaker 4: out which movie they were, filming and we don't know.
Speaker 4: Yet so if you, know It's scott AT whs dot,
Speaker 4: com shoot me an.
Speaker 1: Email i'd love to.
Speaker 2: Know AND i wouldn't be shocked if you have NEVER
Speaker 2: i think you can be someone who's who wouldn't have
Speaker 2: a clue as far as what to expect visually when
Speaker 2: someone is producing a, film, Right but when you see,
Speaker 2: it you, know just because not only you can see
Speaker 2: some clear signs of some type of, filming some type of,
Speaker 2: production but, man there's so much that goes into, it
Speaker 2: which is why you see those who are behind the
Speaker 2: scenes now going on strike fighting for better wages and
Speaker 2: just being taken care of, better because despite not being
Speaker 2: on the big, screen they're a big part of us
Speaker 2: being able to see things on the big.
Speaker 4: Screen, oh there were people humping big boxes out of.
Speaker 4: Trucks to your, POINT i came right around the corner
Speaker 4: right here At Forest street AND i saw it AND
Speaker 4: i knew immediately what it was because you see the.
Speaker 4: Lights but people humping, stuff moving, stuff two thirty in the,
Speaker 4: morning and yet they're still not making the money they.
Speaker 4: Deserve SO i love the fact that you brought this
Speaker 4: story up and the fact that The Louisville gardens is
Speaker 4: completing its, renovation and these are great things that happened
Speaker 4: in this, city and this is how we reinvent.
Speaker 1: Ourselves, sure we.
Speaker 4: Always will have the bourbon, trail but as we've, seen
Speaker 4: bourbon isn't as white hot as what it used to.
Speaker 1: Be so now we can move on to the next.
Speaker 4: Thing and that's WHERE i think The mayor's office for
Speaker 4: aggressively pursuing something like, this that's.
Speaker 2: Awesome there are a few sightings that have taken place
Speaker 2: In kentucky in some random, spots and there was clearly an,
Speaker 2: Explanation BUT i don't. Know If i'm Pretty i'm pretty.
Speaker 2: NAIVE i GUESS i just would assume there's no. Way
Speaker 2: But matthew McConaughey in twenty sixteen was in Lawrence burg
Speaker 2: filming an ad campaign for Wild turkey. Bourbon Johnny depp
Speaker 2: as recent as twenty twenty two was spotted with family
Speaker 2: In owensboro because obviously he's got some roots here In.
Speaker 2: Kentucky and Then Channing tatum back in twenty seventeen was In,
Speaker 2: morehead and that one was a little bit before things
Speaker 2: just go crazy viral on social to WHERE i think
Speaker 2: there was like a couple of days where The moorhead
Speaker 2: residents were, like there's people running around town saying they
Speaker 2: Saw Channing. Tatum if you hear that like at a
Speaker 2: gas station or at A i don't, know at a.
Speaker 2: Restaurant you're, thinking all you guys are full of. It
Speaker 2: why the heck Would Channing tatum being? Morehead it turns
Speaker 2: out he. Was he was there part of some type of.
Speaker 2: Production so, yeah you just never, know never. Know All,
Speaker 2: Right we've got another update a traffic in weather coming
Speaker 2: your way right here On New's radio eight forty whas
Speaker 2: it is six forty five here At kentucky and this morning,
Speaker 2: news meaning we are about ten minutes away from another
Speaker 2: sports update From Scott. Fitzgerald and Obviously louis Of baseball's
Speaker 2: got some real. Momentum AND i wouldn't say that it's
Speaker 2: unexpected success because day McDonald AT u OF l has
Speaker 2: proven to be a pretty successful. Coach it's just been
Speaker 2: a little while since it had. Happened a lot of
Speaker 2: things have changed in college sports over the years that
Speaker 2: have made it maybe not as some have probably benefited
Speaker 2: from this meeting that they now have the ability to
Speaker 2: utilize resources to succeed more so than they did prior
Speaker 2: to their being the portal and, nil but a lot
Speaker 2: of people still trying to find their footing in this new,
Speaker 2: world AND i think that was a factor in louis
Speaker 2: of baseball's slide in recent. Years but obviously now just
Speaker 2: two wins away From omaha and they're hosting a super
Speaker 2: regional and dam McDonald pretty excited about that and an anniversary.
Speaker 2: Here so twenty YEARS i think it is since the
Speaker 2: stadium open and now they're bringing in probably a big
Speaker 2: crowd this weekend to see who can punch their ticket To.
Speaker 5: Omaha how fitting in the twenty year anniversary of Opening
Speaker 5: Jim Patterson, stadium we get a chance to host a super.
Speaker 5: Regional so the good news is my phone is blowing
Speaker 5: up and a lot of people are asking for.
Speaker 1: Tickets and the bad news.
Speaker 5: Is my phone is blowing up and a lot of
Speaker 5: people are asking the, tickets AND i appreciate, you but.
Speaker 1: You, KNOW i only have so.
Speaker 5: Many SO i hope they can make the investment and
Speaker 5: get fortunate enough and get In Jim patterson's stadium, here.
Speaker 2: So that it's a real. Sign as somebody who did
Speaker 2: sports talk for nearly ten years And i've been A
Speaker 2: louisville fan my whole, life that's one of the factors
Speaker 2: when you can really sense the, buzz the excitement is
Speaker 2: when you've got text chains going around with your friends
Speaker 2: that are. Fans hey you, going you got? Tickets you,
Speaker 2: know anybody's selling ANY i want to be, THERE i
Speaker 2: want to. Go where are we? Pregaming and that is
Speaker 2: certainly going, on so good, times no. Doubt and, look
Speaker 2: dam McDonald's recent struggles And scott you brought it up
Speaker 2: earlier this, week just the conversation and it's been a
Speaker 2: conversation really for years as far as just how long
Speaker 2: do you think day McDonald's going to stick around? Here
Speaker 2: And i'm assuming this this bodes well for his future
Speaker 2: given the run the, throng but you really never. Know
Speaker 2: but any talk about his future really never had anything
Speaker 2: to do with him not being the guy For. Louisville
Speaker 2: it's just sometimes things run their. Course and obviously you
Speaker 2: got to wonder if maybe he's had some thought about
Speaker 2: has he done as much as he could do? Here
Speaker 2: and the Reason i'm bringing this up is Because dan
Speaker 2: McDonnell is one of the best representatives Of louisville athletics
Speaker 2: that you'll. FIND i don't know anybody that has ever
Speaker 2: had any encounter with him that was not a positive.
Speaker 2: ONE i know he's made such an impact on so
Speaker 2: many people in the, community not just people that he,
Speaker 2: coaches BUT i, mean he's a beloved guy around here
Speaker 2: for good. Reason AND i think we've been reminded of
Speaker 2: that with not only his success And louisville baseball being
Speaker 2: back in the news at a big level now that
Speaker 2: we're here in the. Postseason but there have been some
Speaker 2: coaches showing their rear end here in the last couple of.
Speaker 2: Days AND i may spoke too. SOON i think The
Speaker 2: Coastal carolina coach who called out The florida coach we
Speaker 2: played that sound for you, YESTERDAY i mean that that's
Speaker 2: just something you don't hear very. Often is somebody to
Speaker 2: be that that direct and that you, know there was
Speaker 2: no beating around the, bush making it quite clear he
Speaker 2: was unhappy and it was unacceptable the way that their
Speaker 2: facility's crew was treated As Coastal carolina was. Hosting SO
Speaker 2: i don't want to say that that's good for, baseball
Speaker 2: BUT i think at, times if you do have just
Speaker 2: something that you don't see another, sports that could bring
Speaker 2: more attention to, it more. Eyeballs but maybe there's also
Speaker 2: the side that maybe baseball coaches don't realize that when
