00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:39.119
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick coffee.

3
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, five o'clock hour Here on a Monday afternoon

4
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 2>coffee and company fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety.

5
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>The Monday after Derby weekend is always always a little

6
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:40.799
<v Speaker 2>rough for some folks who really do it big.

7
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:42.399
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't know.

8
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>If I can say that I do it big, but busy.

9
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:46.799
<v Speaker 4>Saturday was a busy day for us.

10
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:49.520
<v Speaker 2>But it was also one of those days where, like

11
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I think I can say this knowing I'm telling the

12
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 2>truth and not fibbing. But I now have somebody here

13
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 2>who was there with me that can reinforce this. Like

14
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 2>it's a it's a good gig to have, but like

15
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 2>it's a day of work, like we it's it's you know,

16
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:07.480
<v Speaker 2>there's some perks that come with it. Clearly, Austin you

17
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.439
<v Speaker 2>would agree, But I mean I was pooped on Saturday

18
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:13.640
<v Speaker 2>evening because of just walking around. I mean, it's just

19
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 2>a non stop day and it's a lot of fun. Again,

20
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 2>it's hard for me to think about it being worked

21
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 2>when I'm there, but a lot of work goes into it.

22
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.920
<v Speaker 2>But Derby is is the best and uh, I'm still

23
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:25.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of tired.

24
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:25.879
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

25
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.280
<v Speaker 2>But noon today is when I really felt Okay, here

26
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.519
<v Speaker 2>we go, let's get ready to do the show. I've

27
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.640
<v Speaker 2>now recharged the batteries enough. But did you have a

28
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>late night Saturday's you call it early?

29
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:36.439
<v Speaker 5>Would you?

30
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 2>Would you would you end up doing after the Derby?

31
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 6>I I just went I just went home. Yeah, and

32
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 6>I think I laid down for like a minute, and

33
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:47.640
<v Speaker 6>then it.

34
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 3>Was I was just pushed out.

35
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

36
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, there was something in me that still kind of

37
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.359
<v Speaker 6>wanted to go out and parted because I'm the kind

38
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 6>of guy I don't I don't want the night to end.

39
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, so that's I mean, when the night ends, you know, uh,

40
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.040
<v Speaker 2>it's for a lot of people on any given night, right,

41
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.239
<v Speaker 2>you're calling it a day, but the Derby is such

42
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>a special day every year that we get. But when

43
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 2>you call it a night, that means, you know, the

44
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Derby's the Derby experience is over. So I totally can relate.

45
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of people, I'm sure that you know

46
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 2>Sunday morning, when they wake up, they kind of have Okay,

47
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:17.719
<v Speaker 2>now I'm awake and I realize it's Sunday.

48
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 4>I guess that does it. I guess it's over.

49
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 2>But for me, you know, once I ended up leaving,

50
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.360
<v Speaker 2>getting to a derby party for just a little while,

51
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 2>and then heading home. And I don't really I think

52
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.039
<v Speaker 2>we maybe we had some half assed plans, if you will,

53
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 2>meaning like we we kind of threw it out there,

54
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 2>like we might go home and freshen up and then

55
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>go out and see some friends at their house and

56
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.759
<v Speaker 2>and you know, kind of join in on another derby party,

57
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:43.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe have some beverages, enjoy the company of friends.

58
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>But I think as my wife and I were making

59
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.400
<v Speaker 2>our way back home, I think we kind of deep

60
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.520
<v Speaker 2>down knew that we weren't gonna like it wasn't gona happen,

61
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 2>Like we were so wiped out that it was just

62
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna probably be one of those nights. And I had

63
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 2>a phenomenal derby day. But I am I'm you know,

64
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm not embarrassed to tell you I was in bed

65
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.639
<v Speaker 2>before ten o'clock. Wasn't intentional, but I got I got

66
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>on the recliner, and all of a sudden, it was it.

67
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 3>Was getting it was night night. What did what did

68
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.479
<v Speaker 3>what did the Moose think of the Derby?

69
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>He screamed like crazy during the race. Good, he was

70
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 2>into it, and uh, he knew that his horse didn't win,

71
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>but he took it in stride. You know, he didn't

72
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 2>last year. I think he cried because, you know, he

73
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 2>was just so upset and sad. But now, you know,

74
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 2>he knows that you're not going to win them all.

75
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 3>That's horse racing.

76
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.879
<v Speaker 2>And whenever we were out at the track working, my

77
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>wife she'd already been at this derby party with the

78
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.199
<v Speaker 2>kids for a little while. And when I showed up,

79
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 2>Moose had already won a couple of races, maya won one.

80
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.319
<v Speaker 2>So they did well even though we didn't have any

81
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 2>winners in the many different types of bets that we

82
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 2>made for for the Kentucky Derby.

83
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Moose, I'm convinced was a jockey in a previous life.

84
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:43.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

85
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.840
<v Speaker 2>He he asked me in front of others, uh, because

86
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 2>they were showing me. He the the He's been into

87
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.159
<v Speaker 2>horse racing since he can probably remember as far as

88
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 2>just watching it on you know, going to the track

89
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.319
<v Speaker 2>and watching it whenever we can go. And then obviously

90
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.639
<v Speaker 2>he watches the you know, the Derby on TV and

91
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>hell hill, if if we're at not even kidding, if

92
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 2>we're at a restaurant and there's you know, twenty TVs

93
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 2>at a sports bar and one of them happens to

94
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 2>be on horse racing, that's anywhere in the world on

95
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 2>one of those tvg FanDuel channels. He'll watch that, like

96
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 2>he'll just sit and watch like he had how much

97
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>he likes it. But the lead up to the derby

98
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 2>is it's about to run when they show the entire

99
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, the jockeys getting ready to get set. So

100
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 2>he was really interested in that. And then you know,

101
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 2>he asked a question that was just a you know,

102
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.639
<v Speaker 2>a genuine question from a four year old, but you know,

103
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.319
<v Speaker 2>made me a little insecure about my height.

104
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.680
<v Speaker 4>Because he said, Daddy, can you be a jockey?

105
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Like well son? Technically no, off, Yeah, too tough to

106
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.600
<v Speaker 2>be a jockey. I think what I told him, and

107
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:42.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm not even sure if this is true, but I said,

108
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 2>that may be the only job in the world that

109
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.240
<v Speaker 2>I that I am not qualified for because I'm too tall.

110
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh nice, And he was like.

111
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Too tall and I was like, yeah, you know, jockeys

112
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.519
<v Speaker 2>are usually pretty short. And then a couple of people

113
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:57.439
<v Speaker 2>they got, they got some laughs in at my expense.

114
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:58.040
<v Speaker 4>But it's okay.

115
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm not a big tall guy, but you

116
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>need to show him, well, he's not much shorter than me.

117
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>It seems like these days you need.

118
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:08.160
<v Speaker 6>To show him the Secretariat run at the Belmont where

119
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 6>he clears everybody by what thirty one links I think

120
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.079
<v Speaker 6>is what he ended up winning by. And I was

121
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 6>ever since a Derby, my whole TikTok feed has been

122
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.240
<v Speaker 6>filled with horse racing, and that just happened to come up.

123
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 6>And my goodness, how impressive that was A machine, A

124
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 6>fine machine, is what the is what the announcer said,

125
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 6>as this guy's pulling away as secretariats pulling away at

126
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:33.959
<v Speaker 6>the Bellmont to win the Triple Crown, and you just

127
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 6>it's literally him running down that final final furlong and

128
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:38.839
<v Speaker 6>they'll see everybody else.

129
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

130
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 6>Just kind of like it's it's just amazing, and there's

131
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.519
<v Speaker 6>there's some fun stuff as I dive into the comments

132
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.800
<v Speaker 6>that the that the jockey Ron Turcott, right, if I

133
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.199
<v Speaker 6>if I remember correctly, was he didn't even have to

134
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.439
<v Speaker 6>tell Secretary to go, He just did it. And it

135
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:56.600
<v Speaker 6>said it took him almost another half lap to slow

136
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.839
<v Speaker 6>him down because he wanted to keep on going.

137
00:05:58.879 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 4>Just showing what he's all about.

138
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:01.720
<v Speaker 3>It's unbelievable.

139
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 6>I think that the next best horse to probably come

140
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.000
<v Speaker 6>to Secretary, it's probably American Pharaoh because he was blowing

141
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 6>dudes out too.

142
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's those two as far as just you know,

143
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:12.879
<v Speaker 2>things we thought we'd never see again and then sure

144
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.399
<v Speaker 2>enough we got was it justify?

145
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:17.319
<v Speaker 3>Yes? Two years?

146
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:17.600
<v Speaker 5>Yes.

147
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.360
<v Speaker 2>I always keep I always always forget the name of

148
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:23.360
<v Speaker 2>the of the second triple crown winner that we had

149
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>in a relatively short amount of time. And not to

150
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.240
<v Speaker 2>say that it wasn't as you know, I mean impressive.

151
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.800
<v Speaker 2>If you get that done, you're doing something special. That's uh,

152
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 2>that's fair.

153
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.120
<v Speaker 6>Pharaoh ended up doing the whole uh what do they

154
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.079
<v Speaker 6>what do they call it the Grand Slam because he

155
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 6>ended up winning the uh, the the Breeders Cup right

156
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.399
<v Speaker 6>after that, something that uh Secretariat and every day, But

157
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 6>the Breeders Cup wasn't around when Secretary was during his run. So, uh,

158
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.199
<v Speaker 6>those two probably stand above them all.

159
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:48.639
<v Speaker 3>No doubt.

160
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.160
<v Speaker 2>And we'll see what what shakes out here with sovereignty.

161
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.680
<v Speaker 2>But obviously I've been, I've been. I think it's the

162
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:56.519
<v Speaker 2>best way to describe it. I've mentioned this a couple

163
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 2>of times throughout the show today that it was clearly

164
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.240
<v Speaker 2>a horse that you heard about. It was one of

165
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.680
<v Speaker 2>the top horses as far as odds. It just didn't

166
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.399
<v Speaker 2>seem to me to get the love that you saw

167
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:12.279
<v Speaker 2>Sandman Journalist mostly journalism. Honestly, Sadman became the real buzz

168
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.000
<v Speaker 2>pick day of I mean, I'm not kidding you, not

169
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.639
<v Speaker 2>just because it was your horse, and I became a

170
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 2>big you know, a big supporter, and that was what

171
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.319
<v Speaker 2>I was riding with once once we got there Saturday.

172
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:22.600
<v Speaker 4>But anybody I talked.

173
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:26.759
<v Speaker 2>To mentioned mentioned Sandman. So uh didn't have a great race,

174
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>but uh, you know, I.

175
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.319
<v Speaker 6>Got me one of those happy lessons that said, I'm

176
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 6>I'm betting on sam Man as the first time I

177
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.160
<v Speaker 6>ever got a button, a nice n I had to

178
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.680
<v Speaker 6>I had. I wanted to call my shot so bad.

179
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:37.959
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, you weren't. You weren't the only one,

180
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.160
<v Speaker 2>trust me. There was many people that felt confident in

181
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.079
<v Speaker 2>UH in that one. But obviously sovereignty got it done.

182
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.360
<v Speaker 2>And we'll see what happens with the rest of the Uh.

183
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 2>The two legs of the triple crown and obviously the

184
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker 2>the win is huge, uh for for for Mott, right,

185
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:56.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to keep blaking on his name, yes,

186
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Bell Mohot. But yeah, so the story we talked about

187
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:00.639
<v Speaker 2>a little bit earlier, I just I happened to think

188
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 2>this is really interesting and it's when when when look,

189
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.600
<v Speaker 2>we rely on marketing dollars to you know, be able

190
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.759
<v Speaker 2>to feed our family. That's how radio works, right, and

191
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.759
<v Speaker 2>it's a you know, it's it's it's a good investment, right,

192
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.519
<v Speaker 2>but when you can when you can end up just

193
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:21.040
<v Speaker 2>buy luck or minor creativity, really get some big time

194
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:23.279
<v Speaker 2>exposure that you didn't really have to pay anything for.

195
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I just think that's cool. And obviously Bill Mott's family

196
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:32.000
<v Speaker 2>at some point has become they became fans of Joe's

197
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.600
<v Speaker 2>older than Dirt the bar here in London, and I

198
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.960
<v Speaker 2>just think to see pictures of the winning trainer, Bill

199
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 2>de Mott at your establishment right after he wins Kentucky

200
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Derby one fifty one, like and you know you didn't

201
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.120
<v Speaker 2>have it's not a paid appearance by him. He just

202
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:48.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, he knew he won the derby and that's

203
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.000
<v Speaker 2>where he wanted to go and it became a story

204
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.120
<v Speaker 2>in itself because you know, he just won the derby,

205
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:54.840
<v Speaker 2>He's the man of the hour. I just love when

206
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.799
<v Speaker 2>that kind of stuff works out. So little interesting things

207
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.799
<v Speaker 2>like that are really what I like to kind of

208
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:02.840
<v Speaker 2>focus on after the derby, because again, as you as

209
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.080
<v Speaker 2>you all likely know, I'm not somebody that is, you know,

210
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.000
<v Speaker 2>super well versed in the sport of horse racing, but

211
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.240
<v Speaker 2>being there on Saturday, and I'm gonna kind of reset

212
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>a little bit here for those just now joining.

213
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.320
<v Speaker 4>Us, you know, the experience that is being.

214
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:16.840
<v Speaker 2>At the Kentucky Derby, Like it just seemed to be

215
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.679
<v Speaker 2>something I was more in the in the moment with that,

216
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't mean just for me, but just everybody else, right,

217
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.200
<v Speaker 2>because you know, the the generic questions I would ask

218
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:25.919
<v Speaker 2>some of the some of the fans there that that

219
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.960
<v Speaker 2>that I talked to to have on our our broadcast

220
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:31.080
<v Speaker 2>for eight forty w BHAs you know the typical Hey,

221
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.399
<v Speaker 2>you know where you're from, how many derbies you've been to?

222
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:34.159
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

223
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.960
<v Speaker 2>That's really the icebreaker and you know, nobody at all

224
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I think even I mean, you don't want nasty, sloppy weather,

225
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 2>but I think you know, one of the one of

226
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:45.919
<v Speaker 2>the no brainers that I guess really I had never

227
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.559
<v Speaker 2>considered until you know, Saturday, when it was awful weather.

228
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean again, it wasn't as if it it really

229
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't seem to rain a whole lot, but it had

230
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.639
<v Speaker 2>rained enough right before you know, the gates opened, and

231
00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:58.639
<v Speaker 2>it really the sun never came out, and then there

232
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.120
<v Speaker 2>was some time where there was there showers. It was

233
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.639
<v Speaker 2>just a sloppy, nasty, nasty day. But if you're going

234
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>to the Kentucky Derby, you're not making the decision to

235
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.240
<v Speaker 2>be there and go there based off weather. I mean again,

236
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.440
<v Speaker 2>you want good weather, but it's such an event that

237
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:11.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, hey, look we're gonna go and we're just

238
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna be at the mercy of whatever whatever weather we

239
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:15.879
<v Speaker 2>end up getting. So for it to be kind of

240
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.320
<v Speaker 2>as sloppy as it was, it did not seem to

241
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 2>impact anyone's and I mean anyone's I don't want to

242
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say interest, but like just their morale.

243
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Like it was, you could just tell the people there

244
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:29.720
<v Speaker 2>like they knew they were at a really special place.

245
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.759
<v Speaker 2>And as I've mentioned before, as someone who's been in

246
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Louis of my whole life, when I'm at Churchill Downs anytime,

247
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 2>and I guess initially derby before I got to realizing

248
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:40.639
<v Speaker 2>that there's so many people there. In fact, the majority

249
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.000
<v Speaker 2>of the people there are not from anywhere around here.

250
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Like it's just cool to to you know, like I

251
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:47.360
<v Speaker 2>now will look forward every year. Not that I don't

252
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.840
<v Speaker 2>look forward to it every year, but like I'll now

253
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, I guess have a more appreciation for just

254
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.159
<v Speaker 2>acknowledge you just just seeing that there's so many people

255
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:55.879
<v Speaker 2>that make this such a big event. And that doesn't

256
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:57.639
<v Speaker 2>do anything for me, right, I mean, I don't. I

257
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 2>don't benefit from having so many people across the world

258
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.320
<v Speaker 2>decided to come to Louisville, Kentucky for a horse race

259
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:03.720
<v Speaker 2>that takes place once a year.

260
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:05.759
<v Speaker 4>But you know, this is where I'm from.

261
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.879
<v Speaker 2>This is where I will probably always live, and to

262
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.919
<v Speaker 2>have such a big time event, you know, have so

263
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.639
<v Speaker 2>many people that want to be here for it, I

264
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.000
<v Speaker 2>mean that's something I'll I think I now have a

265
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.480
<v Speaker 2>better appreciation for it. Even if you can't be here,

266
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:23.360
<v Speaker 2>you're clearly still going to try to watch it because viewership,

267
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:26.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, seventeen point seven million was the average viewership

268
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:30.000
<v Speaker 2>for the race itself. The peak was twenty one point

269
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:34.279
<v Speaker 2>eight million, And I mean that, I mean, I think

270
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:36.519
<v Speaker 2>by throwing those numbers out there, I think people realize

271
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:39.519
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty impressive. But maybe we can do a little

272
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.039
<v Speaker 2>bit of a quick look and see what you kind

273
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.120
<v Speaker 2>of compare that to, because the Derby is one of

274
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.679
<v Speaker 2>the biggest events of the year in sports, and I

275
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.519
<v Speaker 2>mean those type of events. I mean, there's no decline

276
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:51.679
<v Speaker 2>in like interest level of sports, and I don't think

277
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.600
<v Speaker 2>anybody ever really assumed that there was. But it was

278
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.600
<v Speaker 2>a gradual thing to kind of get back after the pandemic,

279
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.960
<v Speaker 2>right if you remember, we went without sports for a while,

280
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:02.360
<v Speaker 2>and then you know, we weren't really able to do

281
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.879
<v Speaker 2>anything because we had restrictions. So when sports came back,

282
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, you just assume that what else is anybody

283
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna do? They're gonna watch sports because we're kind of

284
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 2>all still not back to when we're not we're not

285
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:13.399
<v Speaker 2>back to normal life yet.

286
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:14.600
<v Speaker 4>And yet the numbers weren't great.

287
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.279
<v Speaker 2>I think more than anything, it was because a variety

288
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:20.240
<v Speaker 2>of things, but mostly like the people who were casuals,

289
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.080
<v Speaker 2>if they knew it was, you know, an empty arena

290
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:27.200
<v Speaker 2>and games canceled here and there because of weird test results,

291
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.480
<v Speaker 2>like it just that's the people that those people weren't

292
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.559
<v Speaker 2>gonna watch. But big events like the Derby, I mean

293
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.519
<v Speaker 2>it seems as if they've never been more popular as

294
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:38.879
<v Speaker 2>far as getting viewership. So yeah, great Derby weekend, you know,

295
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.879
<v Speaker 2>despite the weather. And I now I'm gonna make it

296
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:43.480
<v Speaker 2>a point and not even bring that up next year.

297
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, obviously we will track it and hope for

298
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:49.320
<v Speaker 2>a great sunny and beautiful day. But when I was leaving,

299
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:51.559
<v Speaker 2>it just started to rain a little bit harder when

300
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:53.399
<v Speaker 2>I was getting off the shuttle and walking back to

301
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.559
<v Speaker 2>my car, And it never really like got bad, but

302
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, I started to pick up my pace a

303
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:00.279
<v Speaker 2>little bit of my walk because I didn't want to

304
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.559
<v Speaker 2>get as wet. And I'm just thinking, you know what, like,

305
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:04.960
<v Speaker 2>despite all this, I didn't think I didn't see a

306
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:06.799
<v Speaker 2>single person that you know, looked as if they were

307
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:10.759
<v Speaker 2>regretting coming because you know, of the weather. And one

308
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:12.879
<v Speaker 2>of the one of the voices that you heard on

309
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.399
<v Speaker 2>our interviews that we had was kirkirk Street. Scott Fitzgerald

310
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.840
<v Speaker 2>got a good interview with Kirk Kirk Street and get

311
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:21.320
<v Speaker 2>and you hear that in the uh, you hear that

312
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:23.200
<v Speaker 2>in the montage, which if you missed that, we will

313
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:25.600
<v Speaker 2>reset that in its entirety coming up here before too long.

314
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:29.840
<v Speaker 2>But I saw herb Street earlier at you know, I

315
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:31.840
<v Speaker 2>can't I can't think of what section it was, but

316
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.559
<v Speaker 2>it's like right when you get off the elevator in

317
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:36.679
<v Speaker 2>that like main area where you've got like the sports

318
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:38.919
<v Speaker 2>book and whatnot. Yes, I can get anywhere I need

319
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:40.480
<v Speaker 2>to get at Churchill, I just can't think of I'm

320
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:43.919
<v Speaker 2>not great at describing the locations precisely. But you know,

321
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.240
<v Speaker 2>he was around some of his boys. I think his son,

322
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.320
<v Speaker 2>who I believe at Tens, Michigan, of all places, I

323
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:49.639
<v Speaker 2>think he was with him at the time. I don't

324
00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:52.279
<v Speaker 2>think he was when Scott got the interview, but he

325
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.919
<v Speaker 2>really blended in, and you know, he's a he's a

326
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.320
<v Speaker 2>handsome celebrity. And I kind of remember thinking, like, man,

327
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.360
<v Speaker 2>not many people realize that's Kirk IRV Street and I

328
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.320
<v Speaker 2>feel like I should have realized it ahead of time.

329
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.240
<v Speaker 2>But then I'm like, you know what famous celebrities they

330
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.559
<v Speaker 2>really If there's ever a place for them to blend in,

331
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:12.679
<v Speaker 2>it's at Churchill Down's un Derby day Because nearly everybody

332
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.519
<v Speaker 2>there seemingly is beautiful, and they, you know, I would

333
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.320
<v Speaker 2>believe you who told me that they're famous and they're

334
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.519
<v Speaker 2>this and that as far as accomplishments and success, because yeah,

335
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:23.480
<v Speaker 2>they got the look that makes me believe you can

336
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:25.559
<v Speaker 2>tell me whatever, and yeah, no, no doubt. I bet

337
00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.399
<v Speaker 2>that person is a movie star. I just didn't recognize them.

338
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.639
<v Speaker 2>I bet that person is, you know, a professional golfer

339
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:33.960
<v Speaker 2>that is phenomenal, But I just you know, he's blended

340
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.399
<v Speaker 2>in because everybody's got their nice suits on and everybody's

341
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:40.919
<v Speaker 2>just beautiful. So it's a and if you are able

342
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:44.600
<v Speaker 2>to successfully bring in people who you know, really want

343
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:48.320
<v Speaker 2>to be seen at a place like that. They wanted

344
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.360
<v Speaker 2>to be clear on their social media is that they're

345
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.600
<v Speaker 2>there and that's something that they attend because they're you know,

346
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:56.960
<v Speaker 2>they want to show off. Like I don't know, this year,

347
00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:00.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure it would be nice every year if my

348
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:02.320
<v Speaker 2>experience of helping with our coverage at the Derby, I'm

349
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:04.919
<v Speaker 2>able to take something away that like I maybe didn't

350
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.200
<v Speaker 2>really pay much attention to prior. For me this year,

351
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.279
<v Speaker 2>it was fashion and it was one of the interviews

352
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.440
<v Speaker 2>I got with the guy that. I mean, I had

353
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.000
<v Speaker 2>to stop him. He was just he was looking at

354
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.679
<v Speaker 2>his program and he's probably in his in his sixties,

355
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.799
<v Speaker 2>but he had on seemingly every color that exists from

356
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:21.879
<v Speaker 2>head to toe, with a nice, nice pair of shoes,

357
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:26.279
<v Speaker 2>a suit, tie hat. I mean, he was he was

358
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.639
<v Speaker 2>looking like a million bucks and he had all those

359
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.200
<v Speaker 2>colors together, but somehow they were all working together as one.

360
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Like he just looked phenomenal. And I asked him, you know,

361
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:36.919
<v Speaker 2>what is it. What is it about the Derby that

362
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 2>you just, you know, you got to be here every

363
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.080
<v Speaker 2>year and he just fashion and I'm you know, he

364
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:43.320
<v Speaker 2>started telling me, you know, he's you know, everybody here,

365
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:44.039
<v Speaker 2>there's attension to.

366
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:45.480
<v Speaker 4>Detail with every little outfit.

367
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Uh and I and again, someone who doesn't have style

368
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:51.000
<v Speaker 2>and fashion at least not to that level by any means.

369
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:53.440
<v Speaker 2>I never really thought about that, but from then on

370
00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:55.320
<v Speaker 2>I started to pay attention. I'm thinking, you know what,

371
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:59.039
<v Speaker 2>like that person, they probably are considered to be super

372
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:02.679
<v Speaker 2>stylish and fashionable. And this may be like if they're

373
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:06.039
<v Speaker 2>bringing out the best, the best outfit they have, you know,

374
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:08.519
<v Speaker 2>for the year, it might be on this day because

375
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:12.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's Derby Day. So let's see the announced

376
00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:15.840
<v Speaker 2>wagering from all sources of the entire day of races

377
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.720
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday, three hundred and forty nine million dollars, which

378
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.399
<v Speaker 2>breaks the previous record of three hundred and twenty million

379
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.240
<v Speaker 2>dollars which was set just last year. So yeah, they're

380
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:29.000
<v Speaker 2>they're doing well over there when it comes to to money.

381
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:30.840
<v Speaker 3>Right, I don't think Churchill Dollars was a part of that.

382
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that is a lot of money, no doubt.

383
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:39.360
<v Speaker 2>All Right, So let's see. This story is one that

384
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:44.080
<v Speaker 2>I I it's not really time sensitive, but it's so

385
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:46.440
<v Speaker 2>wild that like we need to talk about it now

386
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.399
<v Speaker 2>because and I'm sure by now you may have heard

387
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:50.960
<v Speaker 2>of it, but there was a couple that ended up

388
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:56.120
<v Speaker 2>winning the was it the power ball? Yeah, the Kentucky

389
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.600
<v Speaker 2>the couple from well, I'm sorry. It was a mother

390
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:01.879
<v Speaker 2>and son that won the power ball in Georgetown, Kentucky.

391
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.839
<v Speaker 2>So the story, the initial story is actually about a

392
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.359
<v Speaker 2>week old, and that was because not this past weekend,

393
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.079
<v Speaker 2>with the weekend before, there was a man and his

394
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:14.839
<v Speaker 2>mother who I guess collectively you know, shared that they

395
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.519
<v Speaker 2>have the winning two dollars power ball ticket that won

396
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.440
<v Speaker 2>them one hundred and sixty seven point three million dollars.

397
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gos so.

398
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:23.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you know, one day.

399
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:28.519
<v Speaker 2>After these these two people mother, in fact, there were

400
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:33.119
<v Speaker 2>three people, mother and son and then son's girlfriend. They

401
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:35.640
<v Speaker 2>were posing with that giant check you know that that

402
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:39.400
<v Speaker 2>gets taken at the Kentucky Lottery showing off the winnings.

403
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:44.680
<v Speaker 2>And again I think the son, who's fifty, he's technically

404
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:47.240
<v Speaker 2>the winner, but obviously I think his mother either gave

405
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:48.880
<v Speaker 2>him money for the ticket or he bought it for

406
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:51.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't really know, but there was some sort of like, hey,

407
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, Mother's Day is gonna be great this year,

408
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.200
<v Speaker 2>and basically saying, you know, with one hundred and sixty

409
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:58.839
<v Speaker 2>seven point three million, his mother's not going to go without,

410
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, with her I'm left here, however old she is.

411
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:04.160
<v Speaker 2>But he also had a girlfriend that was with him

412
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:05.880
<v Speaker 2>in the photo as well, which was kind of you know,

413
00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:07.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that's usual. I don't know if

414
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:12.480
<v Speaker 2>that's normal or not to have you know, people involved

415
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:14.720
<v Speaker 2>that aren't really like technically she's not married, she's just

416
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:17.279
<v Speaker 2>a girlfriend. They're really close, but I guess technically she

417
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.400
<v Speaker 2>would have no like legal right to any of the money,

418
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:22.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, if they were married to be different stories. Anyways,

419
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:24.839
<v Speaker 2>this is kind of like I mean, I remember Vinetti

420
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:29.119
<v Speaker 2>said it on Vnetti said it on Monday or Tuesday

421
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:30.960
<v Speaker 2>of last week, when this became a story that they'd won,

422
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:33.079
<v Speaker 2>that these are the kind of people that you want

423
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:36.000
<v Speaker 2>to win the lottery, right, not somebody who's already rich

424
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.039
<v Speaker 2>or you know, but these are just you know, your

425
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.680
<v Speaker 2>average Kentucky folks. And there was a gentleman who's fifty

426
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:43.200
<v Speaker 2>who you know, him and his mom. I don't know

427
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:44.880
<v Speaker 2>if they lived together, what it is, but they won,

428
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.799
<v Speaker 2>and you know, you thought kind of the story was

429
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.720
<v Speaker 2>going to be over. Not so much because a day

430
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.559
<v Speaker 2>after they posted they posed for that that you know,

431
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:54.680
<v Speaker 2>that fancy picture that everybody you know sees that one

432
00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:57.720
<v Speaker 2>hundred and sixty seven point three million dollar check. They

433
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:02.599
<v Speaker 2>had a legal situation on their hands, so they quickly

434
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:05.720
<v Speaker 2>made their way out of Kentucky and ended up in

435
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:10.799
<v Speaker 2>Pinellas County, Florida, and they've since been arrested. And like,

436
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.480
<v Speaker 2>this is something that I'm going to follow. I'm going

437
00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:16.000
<v Speaker 2>to follow in a major way just because it's like, again,

438
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:18.640
<v Speaker 2>it's something you can't make up. It's something you see,

439
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.680
<v Speaker 2>like in a movie. So let me see if I

440
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.839
<v Speaker 2>can pull up the original story that has like all

441
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:28.039
<v Speaker 2>the actual details here. But I mean, these two end

442
00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:31.279
<v Speaker 2>up getting arrested in Florida, meaning the guy who won

443
00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:33.240
<v Speaker 2>it and his girlfriend who he brought to you know,

444
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:34.000
<v Speaker 2>take the picture.

445
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:35.119
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So it wasn't the mom.

446
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:37.640
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't the mom, and it was a I mean,

447
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:40.680
<v Speaker 2>we're talking felony charges. It was apparently a bar brawl.

448
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:43.119
<v Speaker 2>One of the I mean one of the charges stems

449
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:47.279
<v Speaker 2>from I believe the girlfriend kicking a cop in the face.

450
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:51.799
<v Speaker 2>So what's happened here is like, you know, I guess

451
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:55.039
<v Speaker 2>the funny, the funny, you know, like it maybe funny

452
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.400
<v Speaker 2>is not the right way to to really describe it,

453
00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:59.759
<v Speaker 2>but you know, somebody who won one hundred and sixty

454
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:03.200
<v Speaker 2>seven million is already partying and already letting that money

455
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.119
<v Speaker 2>get him in trouble because they're getting drunk and you know,

456
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:12.000
<v Speaker 2>get arrested. But this man who won the lottery and

457
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:14.720
<v Speaker 2>then the next days in Florida partying, who gets arrested.

458
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:19.359
<v Speaker 2>He was out on parole, so like his charges, I

459
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:21.319
<v Speaker 2>don't know again, if there's been an update since this

460
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.079
<v Speaker 2>happened late last week, I think it was on Friday,

461
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:24.480
<v Speaker 2>because it's one of those things you like, wait a second,

462
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:26.519
<v Speaker 2>that can't be free. That's something you can't make up.

463
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Like he might have won one hundred and sixty seven

464
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:30.519
<v Speaker 2>point three million dollars and then within within a day

465
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:33.799
<v Speaker 2>he's partying and celebrating, gets himself in legal trouble to

466
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:36.279
<v Speaker 2>where he'll never be able to like, you know, I

467
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:38.319
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't say never, but like he might go back to prison.

468
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Imagine thinking you just won one hundred and sixty seven

469
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:42.519
<v Speaker 2>million dollars and then all of a sudden you realize

470
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:44.720
<v Speaker 2>you got to go back to you know, you got

471
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:45.519
<v Speaker 2>to go back to the pen.

472
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:47.519
<v Speaker 4>So, yeah, this is the this is the story I

473
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:48.640
<v Speaker 4>was looking for. Apologizes. I couldn't.

474
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't find the actual link that I originally saw this,

475
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:53.960
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, this is from Yahoo News. The Kentucky man

476
00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:56.480
<v Speaker 2>is facing battery charges after police say struck an officer

477
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:58.559
<v Speaker 2>a day after cashing out as one hundred and sixty

478
00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:02.359
<v Speaker 2>seven point three million powered a million dollar Powerwall prize.

479
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:04.640
<v Speaker 2>The incident happened at the popular Trade Winds resort in

480
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Panelas County, Florida, on Tuesday, evening the arrest Abidavid states

481
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:10.519
<v Speaker 2>that James Farthing was in a fight with another guest

482
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:13.039
<v Speaker 2>when officers arrived. As a deputy stepped in to break

483
00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:15.319
<v Speaker 2>it up. The Abbidavid states that Farthing kicked him in

484
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:18.839
<v Speaker 2>the face and tried to run. He now bases charges

485
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:21.400
<v Speaker 2>of battery on a law enforcement officer in resisting arrest.

486
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:24.839
<v Speaker 2>His girlfriend, Jacqueline fight Master what a Name, was also

487
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:29.680
<v Speaker 2>arrested for disorderly intoxication. WKY interviewed Farthing about his powerball

488
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:31.920
<v Speaker 2>winnings just the day before the incident. The fifty year

489
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:34.599
<v Speaker 2>old said he'd been splitting he'd be splitting the prize

490
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:39.039
<v Speaker 2>with his mother Linda, and yeah, now, yeah, it looks

491
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:42.279
<v Speaker 2>like I can't this this story. He didn't didn't include it,

492
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:44.519
<v Speaker 2>but there was one that the initial one that actually

493
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.279
<v Speaker 2>I think came from a Florida news station that covered

494
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.000
<v Speaker 2>it because they realized, wait a second, this arrest reported

495
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:52.720
<v Speaker 2>these the people that just won a bunch of money,

496
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.839
<v Speaker 2>And sure enough it was so. I mean, even if

497
00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:59.559
<v Speaker 2>he does go back on like a parole violation or

498
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:02.599
<v Speaker 2>whatever it is, like probably wouldn't be like a crazy

499
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:05.279
<v Speaker 2>amount of time. But I mean, again, you can't make

500
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:08.920
<v Speaker 2>this up. Win the lottery, go to Florida the next day,

501
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:12.400
<v Speaker 2>get arrested, go back to prison. Like you know, he

502
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:14.440
<v Speaker 2>was clearly on the up and well I shouldn't say

503
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:15.720
<v Speaker 2>on the up and up, but like he was out

504
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.759
<v Speaker 2>and seemingly, you know, he wasn't in jail. He was

505
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:21.640
<v Speaker 2>free to go play the lottery, won it, and then

506
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:24.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, Night's in troubles. So crazy stuff. All right,

507
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:27.039
<v Speaker 2>quick break, We'll come back on the other side, probably

508
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:29.119
<v Speaker 2>a quick segment here on the other side, because I'm

509
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:30.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna make sure we have enough time to get you

510
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:35.000
<v Speaker 2>the full, the full version of all of our you know,

511
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:38.160
<v Speaker 2>the highlights essentially of our coverage on Saturday at Kentucky

512
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Derby one fifty one.

513
00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:40.039
<v Speaker 4>So stick with us right here.

514
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Coffee and Company, Phil about Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety.

515
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.599
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

516
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine.

517
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Day, Well done, Austin.

518
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:58.319
<v Speaker 2>You know it is sometimes it is interesting to go

519
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:01.720
<v Speaker 2>down a rabbit hole and look up some of the wilder,

520
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:05.759
<v Speaker 2>unbelievable but true stories about things that have happened to

521
00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:10.200
<v Speaker 2>people after they won the lottery, or maybe not even after,

522
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:13.000
<v Speaker 2>but like where their life was what was going on

523
00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:16.279
<v Speaker 2>when they just decided to buy the ticket that ended up,

524
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:20.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, changing their life, sometimes seemingly for good. But

525
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:21.079
<v Speaker 2>then in the again, you know.

526
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:22.000
<v Speaker 4>There's awful stories.

527
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:24.559
<v Speaker 2>And there used to be like a TV show, like

528
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:27.400
<v Speaker 2>early documentary reality TV.

529
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:28.279
<v Speaker 4>There was a show.

530
00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:30.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it couldn't have been called something as generic

531
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.240
<v Speaker 2>about like how the lottery changed my life, but I

532
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:34.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of feel like that might have been it. But

533
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:37.279
<v Speaker 2>there were some stories that like it ruined their family

534
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:39.359
<v Speaker 2>because everybody got greedy and they.

535
00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:40.119
<v Speaker 3>Ran out of money.

536
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:42.799
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, I'd like to think that if I

537
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:46.160
<v Speaker 2>was ever able to win the lottery one, I'd have

538
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:48.039
<v Speaker 2>to play to win, and I don't play, but if

539
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:50.359
<v Speaker 2>I did, I'd like to think that I was, that

540
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I'd be able to you know, handle that and you know,

541
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:56.559
<v Speaker 2>still keep the same relationships and not you know, let

542
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.960
<v Speaker 2>it change me as a human. But you never know

543
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.400
<v Speaker 2>until you're in that position, right, I mean, money is

544
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:03.240
<v Speaker 2>a powerful.

545
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:04.839
<v Speaker 3>To see one hundred MILLI in your bank account.

546
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:07.359
<v Speaker 2>The money is a powerful thing, that is for sure.

547
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, It's coffee and company. Feel abou Thornton's here

<v Speaker 3>You have a good Derby weekend?

564
00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:45.440
<v Speaker 7>I did, I did it. It was a rainy one,

565
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:47.359
<v Speaker 7>but back god, it was a beautiful day.

566
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:49.720
<v Speaker 4>For a duck, that's for sure, well said.

567
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:53.880
<v Speaker 7>But uh yeah, my horse it's still being loaded in

568
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:56.799
<v Speaker 7>the loading gate. It's uh, it was owing almighty. I

569
00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:58.680
<v Speaker 7>think he got a couple of calls, but you know,

570
00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:01.880
<v Speaker 7>it's it's just how goes when you got nineteen horses.

571
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:04.359
<v Speaker 7>It's just close your eyes and roll the dice, you know.

572
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:04.920
<v Speaker 4>Yep.

573
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:07.599
<v Speaker 2>It's a huge field and being out there during Derby

574
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:09.640
<v Speaker 2>week and even the day of like, it doesn't really

575
00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:11.680
<v Speaker 2>hit me until we get closer to the Derby than men.

576
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:14.079
<v Speaker 2>A lot more horses in this race than you typically

577
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:15.240
<v Speaker 2>seeing really any other race.

578
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:19.319
<v Speaker 7>Correct. Well, let me tell you was talking earlier about

579
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:22.160
<v Speaker 7>how all the expansions they've done out at Churchill Downs.

580
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:24.680
<v Speaker 7>You know, me and my late brother Kenny god rest Is,

581
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:27.680
<v Speaker 7>so we used to live out there during our long hair,

582
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:31.000
<v Speaker 7>sexy days, back when coke were two dollars and hot

583
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:33.880
<v Speaker 7>dogs were two dollars, and we watched it grow over

584
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:36.839
<v Speaker 7>the years. Now we refer it to as Emerald City

585
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:39.960
<v Speaker 7>because when you see it from a far distance or

586
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:43.200
<v Speaker 7>a close distance, I mean, it's overwhelming beautiful, you know.

587
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:46.960
<v Speaker 7>So that's that's pretty much you know, Emerald City over there.

588
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:48.000
<v Speaker 4>And now let me ask.

589
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:49.759
<v Speaker 2>You this, Kirk, because there's a lot of people i'm

590
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:52.960
<v Speaker 2>sure like yourself and your brother, who like it was

591
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:55.519
<v Speaker 2>just you know, when the spring meat was going on,

592
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:57.680
<v Speaker 2>they'd be out there as much as they could, enjoying

593
00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:59.319
<v Speaker 2>everything that comes with it, and you know, betting on

594
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:02.599
<v Speaker 2>the ponies. I mean, I would imagine there's others that

595
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:05.720
<v Speaker 2>probably you know, they understand why Churchill's made the decision

596
00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:07.920
<v Speaker 2>to go Emerald City, as you mentioned, but also like

597
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:11.079
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't really appealed to those that you know, used

598
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:12.920
<v Speaker 2>to spend a lot of time there and it was

599
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:14.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, a big I don't want to say a

600
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:15.599
<v Speaker 2>big part of their life, but probably something they really

601
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:16.240
<v Speaker 2>look forward to doing.

602
00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:17.279
<v Speaker 3>It's just much different now.

603
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:21.119
<v Speaker 7>Oh, absolutely, it's very much different. But like I said,

604
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:24.920
<v Speaker 7>you know, blood horse racing has been in our family

605
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:28.279
<v Speaker 7>for years and years, and and like you said, we

606
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:31.039
<v Speaker 7>just made it a religion to go out there pretty

607
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:33.799
<v Speaker 7>much every day, and and it's just it's just a

608
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:36.240
<v Speaker 7>different feeling when you go. It's just sure, you know.

609
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:39.559
<v Speaker 7>I mean, we would go out there were ten dollars

610
00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:42.599
<v Speaker 7>and pray we would bring home the uh bring home

611
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:45.599
<v Speaker 7>the wheelbarrow was full. But you know, sometimes we did,

612
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.480
<v Speaker 7>sometimes we didn't. But man, it's just this Kentucky Derby.

613
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.640
<v Speaker 7>It's we're the centerpiece of the world on Derby Day, brother.

614
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:54.359
<v Speaker 4>No doubt about it. Appreciate the call, Kirk, good to

615
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:54.920
<v Speaker 4>hear from you.

616
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:57.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's that's something that you know, we all

617
00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:00.759
<v Speaker 2>know as Louivillions that we've got it chance to shine

618
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:03.200
<v Speaker 2>two minutes. I mean, it's usually a lot longer than

619
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:06.279
<v Speaker 2>two minutes. I would imagine that those who tune in

620
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:08.960
<v Speaker 2>for the derby, they're not probably staying for the entire day,

621
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:09.880
<v Speaker 2>but you can if you like.

622
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

623
00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:12.440
<v Speaker 2>And obviously I think the big, big part of it

624
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:14.000
<v Speaker 2>is the lead up to it, like that you know

625
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:17.160
<v Speaker 2>when you're when you're getting closer, and there's certainly a

626
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of time between that race that's there before the

627
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Derby starts. But you know, maybe it's just me getting older,

628
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:25.960
<v Speaker 2>more mature, dare I say, getting you know more wise

629
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:29.319
<v Speaker 2>that I just now have a real feel for like

630
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:30.880
<v Speaker 2>how big of a deal it is to know that

631
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:34.000
<v Speaker 2>there are so many people that that I mean all

632
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:36.160
<v Speaker 2>over not just the country, but the world, Like all

633
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:40.039
<v Speaker 2>eyes are on us for this big event. And there's

634
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:42.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot of cities that you know, have a special

635
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:45.240
<v Speaker 2>event that is no that they're known for, right, Like

636
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I can't mean I'm trying to think of like this

637
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:52.160
<v Speaker 2>is a random one like Omaha, Nebraska, Like they're known

638
00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:54.839
<v Speaker 2>for the College World Series. Yes, sure, and they do

639
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:56.680
<v Speaker 2>it big. They take a lot of pride in that.

640
00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:59.319
<v Speaker 2>I've I've talked to just about everybody who's ever gone

641
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:01.599
<v Speaker 2>that I know, and they say that one. Omaha is

642
00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:03.279
<v Speaker 2>a better city than you'd realize. It's just, you know,

643
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:04.640
<v Speaker 2>you really got to want to get there because it's

644
00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:07.119
<v Speaker 2>far away and there's a lot of nothing near it.

645
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:10.480
<v Speaker 2>But they really take it upon. They take pride in

646
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:12.440
<v Speaker 2>being a place that brings in a lot of people.

647
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Obviously the Derby is a different level than that, but

648
00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:19.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think it's just something when you live

649
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:19.759
<v Speaker 2>here your whole life.

650
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:20.359
<v Speaker 4>You get used to it.

651
00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:23.599
<v Speaker 2>But now to see, you know, and just I guess

652
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:25.519
<v Speaker 2>have more awareness on my end that there are so

653
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:27.920
<v Speaker 2>many people here that that have may never like they

654
00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:31.319
<v Speaker 2>may never even ever come back, or may they maybe

655
00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:32.960
<v Speaker 2>they come here every year and they just you know,

656
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:35.200
<v Speaker 2>they get there on Friday and leave Sunday morning, and

657
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:37.240
<v Speaker 2>they don't take in a whole lot of you know,

658
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:40.039
<v Speaker 2>the sights and sounds of Louisville, Kentucky, the city that

659
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:41.680
<v Speaker 2>they're in, but you know, they're here for the Derby.

660
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.640
<v Speaker 3>So Daytona is also a good one, yes'rby Yep.

661
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I'm sure there's and I wish I had

662
00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:49.200
<v Speaker 2>thought of that, thought of that earlier. Just comparisons as

663
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:51.920
<v Speaker 2>far as other places that have an event that their

664
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.680
<v Speaker 2>city's really known for in a lot of ways, and

665
00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:58.559
<v Speaker 2>they they don't they you know, like I can't imagine

666
00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:00.359
<v Speaker 2>if there's somebody and I'm sure there are people, and

667
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:02.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe there's a good reason for it, but like, you know,

668
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:05.039
<v Speaker 2>not liking that we have it, wish we didn't have

669
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:07.319
<v Speaker 2>it because it brought in traffic and it slowed stuff down.

670
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Like I mean, I would, I would really question what

671
00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:11.279
<v Speaker 2>you like to do, like what you consider fun, if

672
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:13.559
<v Speaker 2>that's the way you see it. But I mean, you know,

673
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:15.440
<v Speaker 2>I think if you're an outsider and you're here, you

674
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.119
<v Speaker 2>can tell that we are happy to have you and

675
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:20.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, hopefully going to do whatever.

676
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't.

677
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:21.119
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

678
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how how I in any way could

679
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:26.920
<v Speaker 2>enhance people's experience who are there at Derby. But you know,

680
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:29.519
<v Speaker 2>you can just feel that we embrace it, and I

681
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:32.039
<v Speaker 2>don't think that'll that'll ever change, all right, Real quick,

682
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:34.799
<v Speaker 2>before we get to our last break, some news here

683
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:37.279
<v Speaker 2>on the TBT roster. So here is who we have

684
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:41.599
<v Speaker 2>currently uh in the mix for the Ville So Russ Smith,

685
00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Montrez Harrel, David Johnson. I believe those were the names

686
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:48.759
<v Speaker 2>we had heard. In fact, maybe DJ was announced earlier today,

687
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:51.440
<v Speaker 2>but also two other names, David Sloan, who I'm familiar

688
00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:52.799
<v Speaker 2>with just because I know he's from Louisville, but he

689
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:57.359
<v Speaker 2>played college basketball at Kansas State and East Tennessee State.

690
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:00.880
<v Speaker 2>And then we also are adding j scrub which is

691
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:03.839
<v Speaker 2>a name from the past. I love this because Jay

692
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:06.559
<v Speaker 2>Scrub's still playing at a high level. He's younger than

693
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:08.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, and we can have that conversation at some

694
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:14.640
<v Speaker 2>point down the line. But you know, with Russ tres Peyton,

695
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:17.759
<v Speaker 2>who else was it? Maybe even Nanu to an extent,

696
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:21.400
<v Speaker 2>like those guys aren't old, but there are time's gonna

697
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:23.440
<v Speaker 2>be playing against guys that are, you know, fresh out

698
00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:26.920
<v Speaker 2>of college or you know, just just in the G League,

699
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:29.559
<v Speaker 2>like David Johnson's the perfect kind of age I think

700
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:32.359
<v Speaker 2>for you know, a guy who clearly is just outside

701
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:34.359
<v Speaker 2>the NBA, but he's also on the younger end of

702
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:37.000
<v Speaker 2>what you see typically on the rosters and the TVT.

703
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Jay Scrubb is the same situation, and I really wish

704
00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:41.079
<v Speaker 2>he'd end up ended up here at U of L.

705
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:43.599
<v Speaker 2>But now we get to see him play for the

706
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Villa and the TVT, which hopefully that that event has

707
00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:50.319
<v Speaker 2>as much fun. I mean Obviously the team winning is

708
00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:51.920
<v Speaker 2>a big part of it. But last year was a

709
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:54.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of fun and I would hope that they can

710
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:56.599
<v Speaker 2>they can make another run again this upcoming summer. All right,

711
00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:58.359
<v Speaker 2>quick break, We'll come back and let you guys here

712

753
00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:50.279
<v Speaker 12>it'll depend on the paycheck.

754
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:52.039
<v Speaker 9>No, I'm just kidding.

755
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:56.279
<v Speaker 12>That guy is a familiar voice because he's Leland Conway

756
00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:59.480
<v Speaker 12>and Leland and his back go with us, and we're

757

<v Speaker 12>we're behind miners, but you got to lead by three.

761
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:17.000
<v Speaker 11>Or seven months, two months, maybe two months, maybe August.

762
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:19.840
<v Speaker 9>You're gonna wipe me out after I try it.

763
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:22.719
<v Speaker 12>You're a short timer there, fell up, short time, Yeah,

764
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:24.400
<v Speaker 12>help right.

765
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:29.039
<v Speaker 10>Some I think between the two of us total, there's

766
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:32.119
<v Speaker 10>about well, there's more than sixty years of Kentucky Derby

767
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:34.000
<v Speaker 10>go yeah, correct, I got more than thirty.

768
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:36.199
<v Speaker 9>You have more than thirty, so sixty something.

769
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:38.000
<v Speaker 12>Now, let's find out what's going on with our buddy

770
00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:38.840
<v Speaker 12>Bo Robinson.

771
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:42.840
<v Speaker 13>I'm with Kyle Zorna of Legion Bloodstock, who was responsible

772
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:46.639
<v Speaker 13>for bringing Kentucky Derby contender Flying Mohawk to Jason Worth

773
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:50.920
<v Speaker 13>and the Barry family. But first, Kyle, congratulations on yesterday's

774
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:55.280
<v Speaker 13>Kentucky Oaks finish, Drexel Hill finishing second place. That's definitely

775
00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:58.519
<v Speaker 13>a huge confidence boost going into the Kentucky Derby today

776
00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:00.880
<v Speaker 13>and maybe a second night of self for you.

777
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.800
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I hope so, but as you can tell, my

778
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:07.639
<v Speaker 5>voice might not allow that. So we're pretty excited. I

779
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:09.760
<v Speaker 5>think this weather is going to be very conducive to

780
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:12.719
<v Speaker 5>what we were hoping for with them. You know, care

781
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:16.320
<v Speaker 5>forces typically move up on a wet racetrack, and a

782
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:19.639
<v Speaker 5>few of his best works have been over a wet track,

783
00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:23.199
<v Speaker 5>so we're guided. You know, obviously, first time he's gonna

784
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:23.960
<v Speaker 5>run on dirt.

785
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:27.320
<v Speaker 13>But Kyle, congratulations again on the second place finish with

786
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:30.840
<v Speaker 13>Drexel Hill in the Kentucky Oaks yesterday, and all the

787
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:33.840
<v Speaker 13>best for flying Mohawk in the Kentucky Derby. Thank you

788
00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:35.840
<v Speaker 13>for the time and enjoyed today.

789
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:39.480
<v Speaker 4>Do we have some robing reporters we need to we do?

790
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:43.360
<v Speaker 9>Let's check in with Austin Montgomery down in the infield,

791
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:43.760
<v Speaker 9>shall we?

792
00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:44.599
<v Speaker 5>All right?

793
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:47.920
<v Speaker 6>Federal, Thanks guys, it's awestome. I made my way all

794
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:50.159
<v Speaker 6>the way over to the infield, and let me tell

795
00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:52.519
<v Speaker 6>you something. It's just as hyped up as everybody says

796
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:54.360
<v Speaker 6>it is the first thing I see when I walk

797
00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:58.360
<v Speaker 6>in is this ridiculously large top hat, a really bright

798
00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:01.840
<v Speaker 6>gold vest that says this infield legend on it. The

799
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:04.119
<v Speaker 6>man I'm talking to right now is the man himself,

800
00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:04.840
<v Speaker 6>Lewis Grant.

801
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:08.239
<v Speaker 3>Dude, you're the infield legend. How does that feel?

802
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:10.960
<v Speaker 12>It took a long time to get here.

803
00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:14.239
<v Speaker 3>What oughtd it take? Hohop has stowed you the infield legend?

804
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:15.960
<v Speaker 6>Is it something that you did or was it like

805
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:18.079
<v Speaker 6>a collective effort from everyone that came out here.

806
00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:20.400
<v Speaker 13>Well, I'm a legend, a legend in my own mind,

807
00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:22.280
<v Speaker 13>so I thought I would tell everybody, well.

808
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:23.239
<v Speaker 3>That's all, that's all that matters.

809
00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:25.639
<v Speaker 6>I mean, if you put on a gold horseshoe vest

810
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:27.559
<v Speaker 6>and you put it on the back, who's going to deny.

811
00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:27.679
<v Speaker 3>That, right?

812
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:28.599
<v Speaker 1>But he's denying that.

813
00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:29.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm telling you it's all.

814
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:32.000
<v Speaker 13>It's all out in the open. Now I've come out

815
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:32.760
<v Speaker 13>as the legend.

816
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:34.719
<v Speaker 3>This is a man after my own heart.

817
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:36.840
<v Speaker 6>I hope to be like you in a few years

818
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:37.880
<v Speaker 6>when I'm thirty five.

819
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:41.079

<v Speaker 2>You've been to forty seven Kentucky Derbys?

831
00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:09.440
<v Speaker 9>Are you serious?

832
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:12.400
<v Speaker 14>Started coming here in nineteen seventy five when I went

833
00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:15.960
<v Speaker 14>to school here, and I've been to everyone except two

834
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:17.920
<v Speaker 14>COVID years and my son's graduation.

835
00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:18.480
<v Speaker 7>Wow.

836
00:37:18.519 --> 00:37:20.639
<v Speaker 4>So University of louisvill grad Yeah? Is that where you

837
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:21.800
<v Speaker 4>fell in love with horse racing?

838
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:23.000
<v Speaker 15>I sure did.

839
00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

840
00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:25.239
<v Speaker 4>Do you have a winner today? Who do you think

841
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:26.320
<v Speaker 4>is gonna win the Kentucky Derby?

842
00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:28.320
<v Speaker 3>I think journalism?

843
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Of all the Kentucky Derbys, is there one that is

844
00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:33.199
<v Speaker 2>a that stands out as a bigger memory than the others.

845
00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:36.199
<v Speaker 2>Probably the first celebrating Kentucky Derby one fifty one. It's

846
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Nick Coffee for News Radio eight forty whas.

847
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:43.440
<v Speaker 16>I think Dwight Whitten has got Mitch McConnell, or does he.

848
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:44.760
<v Speaker 3>Or Dusty Dwight Whitton?

849
00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:48.360
<v Speaker 17>Out here at Churchill Down, I ran into the Senator

850
00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:52.599
<v Speaker 17>Mitch McConnell, and your horse, I know, is chunk of gold.

851
00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:55.519
<v Speaker 9>But you know the owner, right, I know the owner.

852
00:37:55.719 --> 00:38:00.199
<v Speaker 15>That's unusual. Chunk of gold Kentucky verad. That's all work,

853
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:00.760
<v Speaker 15>the bet off.

854
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:04.239
<v Speaker 17>So you got your horse, and I guess being friends

855
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:06.000
<v Speaker 17>with the owner, you have no choice.

856
00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:08.440
<v Speaker 9>You got a bet on you rock, no choice at all?

857
00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:12.519
<v Speaker 17>List is Senator McConnell. I hate that it's raining out

858
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:16.440
<v Speaker 17>here today, but I imagine this is probably one of

859
00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:20.079
<v Speaker 17>your proudest I don't know, Jules of Kentucky, the Kentucky Derby,

860
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:20.760
<v Speaker 17>would that be right?

861
00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:24.360
<v Speaker 15>The Kentucky Derby party is going on all around the

862
00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:28.760
<v Speaker 15>world American embassies, this is an international event.

863
00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:29.880
<v Speaker 3>Listen.

864
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:31.760
<v Speaker 17>I don't want to keep you centered. I saw you

865
00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:33.440
<v Speaker 17>and I just say, hey, you know what, I'm gonna

866
00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:36.679
<v Speaker 17>ride his coke tails on his bet. So now I'm

867
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:40.039
<v Speaker 17>going from journalism and I'm moving my money to chunk

868
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:41.400
<v Speaker 17>of gold because of you.

869
00:38:41.480 --> 00:38:44.480
<v Speaker 15>How's that good luck?

870
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:46.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

871
00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:50.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what. I had no idea.

872
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:51.800
<v Speaker 4>Mitch McConnell hung out in the unfield.

873
00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:53.280
<v Speaker 9>Okay, I've been doing this thirty five years.

874
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:54.719
<v Speaker 3>I have no idea if that was real or not.

00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:33.199
<v Speaker 9>Oh no, the betting windows.

898
00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:34.079
<v Speaker 1>Who I run into?

899
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:36.960
<v Speaker 9>I'm mister kirk Herb Street. How are you, sir? I'm great.

900
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:39.119
<v Speaker 9>How you doing good? To be back in Louisville. Oh

901
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:41.880
<v Speaker 9>my god. This is the highlight of the year for us.

902
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:44.440
<v Speaker 14>Whereas every year I come with a bunch of family

903
00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:48.159
<v Speaker 14>and friends, and there's probably on my twenty second year.

904
00:39:48.679 --> 00:39:52.199
<v Speaker 14>We get here race one on Friday and the last

905
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:53.199
<v Speaker 14>race Saturday night.

906
00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:54.920
<v Speaker 9>We don't miss a race the whole thing.

907
00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:56.119
<v Speaker 1>Can you pick for the Derby?

908
00:39:56.239 --> 00:39:58.840
<v Speaker 14>I'm an exotic guy, so I don't pick one.

909
00:39:59.519 --> 00:39:59.760
<v Speaker 5>Horror.

910
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:02.239
<v Speaker 14>You know, I'd love to see sand Man because I

911
00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:05.360
<v Speaker 14>think he's a beautiful horse. Journalism obviously is the horse

912
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:07.559
<v Speaker 14>to beat, but I'm here. I always tell my buddies

913
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:10.440
<v Speaker 14>the horses like Journalism that ended up six to five

914
00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:11.840
<v Speaker 14>or nine to five. I look at them as like

915
00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:15.440
<v Speaker 14>Ohio State in Alabama. I'm here to find like Purdue

916
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:18.239
<v Speaker 14>or Illinois. We're looking for those ten to one, twelve

917
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:21.519
<v Speaker 14>to one kind of horses. So we play odds and

918
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:24.480
<v Speaker 14>hope for a big ticket and the fifteen to one

919
00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:26.679
<v Speaker 14>hit earlier, which his nice. Finally we got some odds

920
00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:29.079
<v Speaker 14>to hit. But we'll see what happens in Derby. But

921
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:30.559
<v Speaker 14>we're hoping for some big odds.

922
00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:33.280
<v Speaker 15>I'm Scott Bistil is celebrating Derby one fifty one on

937
00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:01.039
<v Speaker 3>of rain over night, but the.

938
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:02.960
<v Speaker 8>Track man, Jamie Richardson, he's done a good job of

939
00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:05.519
<v Speaker 8>having it seemed pretty fair and hearts of they're kind

940
00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:08.400
<v Speaker 8>of everywhere it seems safe. So we just have to

941
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:10.440
<v Speaker 8>go out there later on in the day and just

942
00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:12.840
<v Speaker 8>give our horse the best trip possible and hopefully we can.

00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:15.519
<v Speaker 8>We're gonna say two time raining Kentucky Derby winner.

944
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:18.840
<v Speaker 9>That's right, Brian Besseluck today, All right, mister go God boss.

945
00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:20.960
<v Speaker 16>Well, well, well we've come to almost the end of

948
00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:31.159
<v Speaker 16>seven to night. You know, whas celebrating one hundredth year

949
00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:36.440
<v Speaker 16>of broadcasting the Kentucky Derby, and fittingly enough, Tony Cruz

950
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:41.239
<v Speaker 16>is using this occasion to retire as our long standing

951
00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:44.000
<v Speaker 16>morning host for the past twenty plus year.

952
00:41:44.039 --> 00:41:44.519
<v Speaker 1>Is that right?

953
00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:46.159
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.

954
00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:46.760
<v Speaker 3>Twenty one.

955
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:50.519
<v Speaker 16>What a fantastic career the cruise bad has had waking

956
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:53.760
<v Speaker 16>up Kentucky Anda for a generation. I know he's ready

957
00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:56.440
<v Speaker 16>for a great retirement and a chance to do some

958
00:41:56.599 --> 00:41:58.760
<v Speaker 16>traveling right now that you won't have to get up

959
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:01.599
<v Speaker 16>each morning, so you gonna do well, We've got some

960
00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:03.880
<v Speaker 16>suggestions for you, Tony. You know you've always been a

961
00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:07.559
<v Speaker 16>fan of NASCAR, right, so just another month, you know,

962
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:10.159
<v Speaker 16>you're gonna have the chance to drive south and admire

963
00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:13.800
<v Speaker 16>dayte for example, you know, and perhaps you could get

964
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.719
<v Speaker 16>take one of those luxury airplane adventures where you get

965
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:18.920
<v Speaker 16>your own little personal cabin on the plane with the

966
00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:20.280
<v Speaker 16>shower and all that stuff, and.

967
00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:20.960
<v Speaker 3>They give you the robe.

968
00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:21.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

969
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:24.079
<v Speaker 16>I believe the name of that excursion is the Flying

970
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:26.119
<v Speaker 16>Mohawks or something to that effect.

971
00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:26.280
<v Speaker 7>You know.

972
00:42:26.239 --> 00:42:27.440
<v Speaker 9>Oh, it's really experienced.

973
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:27.920
<v Speaker 3>Now.

974
00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:31.280
<v Speaker 16>Tony's always talking about his love for colonial times. He

975
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:34.559
<v Speaker 16>loves to go to Williamsburg, Virginia. I think he needs

976
00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:36.840
<v Speaker 16>to take that luxury plane ride to the Old Country

977
00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:40.440
<v Speaker 16>and travel down East Avenue to the classic Burnham Swear

978
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:42.960
<v Speaker 16>area where they had that medieval re enactment.

979
00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:44.280
<v Speaker 4>What are they call it?

980
00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:47.920
<v Speaker 16>Oh, it's the Coal Battle uprising that took place years ago.

981
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:50.079
<v Speaker 9>It's fascinating to watch. Yes, it is.

982
00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:53.400
<v Speaker 16>Perhaps traveling the ancient Egyptian lands is bore his taste,

983
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:56.639
<v Speaker 16>where he can learn about the sovereignty of past tours

984
00:42:56.920 --> 00:43:00.679
<v Speaker 16>while enjoying fine dining at a luxe or cafe we

985
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:01.440
<v Speaker 16>all know cruise.

986
00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:02.679
<v Speaker 9>He has this love of music.

987
00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:05.880
<v Speaker 16>Yes, he's always singing Abba in the hallways.

988
00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:06.679
<v Speaker 4>So it's only.

989
00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:11.039
<v Speaker 16>Fitting he take off to that fine Mediterranean upscale, nice

990
00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:15.440
<v Speaker 16>sea resort by ASA and experience the yacht rock sounds

991
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:16.679
<v Speaker 16>of the band Rodriguez.

992
00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:19.719
<v Speaker 9>I hear they put on an outstanding show.

993
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:22.599
<v Speaker 16>You know, still I think Cruise man might be more

994
00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:25.639
<v Speaker 16>suited right here at home for the next chapter ahead

995
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:29.440
<v Speaker 16>of him. You know, perhaps another career in journalism awaits

996
00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:32.840
<v Speaker 16>you as a book publisher. I hear he's working on

997
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:38.360
<v Speaker 16>a really insightful chronicle titled American Promise. Now he's not

998
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:41.400
<v Speaker 16>saying much about what's in this potential published work, but

999
00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:43.639
<v Speaker 16>I have some ideas on what the subject might be

1000
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:45.920
<v Speaker 16>for the book. After all, Tony has always been our

1001
00:43:46.039 --> 00:43:51.199
<v Speaker 16>charming citizen bull and he will never render judgment without

1002
00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:54.280
<v Speaker 16>solid facts. In fact, we have our own pit name

1003
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:56.719
<v Speaker 16>for Tony around the office. That's right, Yes, uh huh.

1004
00:43:56.760 --> 00:44:00.199
<v Speaker 16>When he gets on those theology discussions, you can see

1005
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:02.800
<v Speaker 16>the owen all mighty coming out of him, like the

1006
00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:06.960
<v Speaker 16>Lord infused him with a grande dose of fire and breadstone.

1007
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:09.840
<v Speaker 16>He can really make this case with those biblical facts

1008
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:13.239
<v Speaker 16>that raise the final gallant of emotions. Yes, sir, we

1009
00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:16.559
<v Speaker 16>all know Tony Cruz has the kindest, caring heart of

1010
00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:19.519
<v Speaker 16>anyone you could encounter, one of the finest people you

1011
00:44:19.559 --> 00:44:22.239
<v Speaker 16>will ever be grace to call a friend. He's really

1012
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:27.800
<v Speaker 16>just a silky smooth sandman. That's right, man, We're gonna

1013
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:30.079
<v Speaker 16>be sadden, not to have the Cruise Man around the

1014
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:32.480
<v Speaker 16>office in about a month's time. But we're so very

1015
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:35.119
<v Speaker 16>excited that he and his wonderful wife Penny can retire

1016
00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:38.079
<v Speaker 16>while their health is great and they can enjoy their

1017
00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:38.920
<v Speaker 16>grandchildren and.

1018
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:40.000
<v Speaker 4>Other lives joyce.

1019
00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:43.000
<v Speaker 16>After all, there's nothing worse than working so long and

1020
00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:48.920
<v Speaker 16>encountering health issues requiring medications like neoquist that we advertise

1021
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:51.400
<v Speaker 16>consistently on this radio station. As a matter of fact,

1022
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:53.599
<v Speaker 16>you want to get free of the daily grind and

1023
00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:56.880
<v Speaker 16>spin that chunk of gold burning a hole in your pocket.

1024
00:44:57.280 --> 00:44:59.679
<v Speaker 16>Whatever the Cruise Man does and the next stage of life,

1025
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:02.880
<v Speaker 16>we miss him the absolute best and know he'll be

1026
00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:05.679
<v Speaker 16>great at it. While we'll miss him dearly. We want

1027
00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:10.599
<v Speaker 16>to know retirement is going to be tasting heavy retirement

1028
00:45:11.519 --> 00:45:38.880
<v Speaker 16>an happy Derby. What there are in the Kentucky Derby

1029
00:45:39.559 --> 00:45:42.079
<v Speaker 16>journalism is in a little bit of traffic early on here.

1030
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:43.880
<v Speaker 3>But he came out of the gate, Old Kay Citizen

1031
00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:45.039
<v Speaker 3>Bull and Neil W.
