But the and there and again it'stied with little twine, right, so

year and they know. So theOakridge Boys they're quite aware of the Kentucky

(07:01):
State Fair and their streak. Well, here comes the COVID year twenty twenty
and there's going to be no stateFair. So is the streak broken?
Nay? I said, what didthey do? We had a limited fair
that year with COVID and that wehad a horse show and they came in
from Nashville and they performed in FreedomHall to keep that continuity. That's awesome.

(07:24):
That's kind of people they are.They're just a wonderful Was it Larry
that we had who we have onwith? How much long are they going
to tour? Well, that's whatI was going to say. This is
the fiftieth year at the Kentucky StateFair, so let me there. I'm
just saying I would make sure you'reat this show. I don't know,
I don't have any inside information,but I mean, come on. But
we were interviewed one of the OakridgeBoys and the Bill Cox, that's who

(07:46):
it was. He was saying thatthat was the first big purchase they ever
made after Elvira. He bought himselfa Corvette. Yeah, a nineteen eighty
year old. So they're back.So they're back. Monday, August nineteenth
is Kine and then Tuesday August twentieth, the Happy Together. This is always

(08:07):
a big draw because you put abunch of sixties bands in there. And
here's the lineup for this one.The Turtles, the cow Sills, by
the way, the cow Sials we'vehad on the show many a time.
That's who they modeled the Partridge familyafter bad Finger, the Vogues, the

(08:28):
a big show for the I wantto see older crowd, but a bit
of tad older maybe my older crowd. I say older crowd to Yeah,
they were big in the sixties.It was enjoyed the music, but I
enjoy watching the crowd too. Yeah, er handicap assessible ladies and gentlemen.
David Back as our guests, DavidBeck as our guests, as we're going

(08:50):
through the Kentucky State Fair concert lineupWednesday, August twenty first, Justin Moore,

you do. And they can goto the website daily, check out
their make their plans and check thevenue and say he's performing that evening.
Uh Thursday, August twenty second.Going back to our radio days or later

(09:13):
radio days, I guess ever Clearand Marsy's Playground. Remember Marshy's Playground.
Yeah, yeah, those are acouple of successful bands from the nineteen nineties.
Run through this because I want toget through the improvements of the fairground.
Friday, August twenty third, thirtyeight special with Exiles Yea. Saturday
August twenty fourth, Lauren, Alenaand if I say that or Elena and

(09:35):
then Sunday it will be torn wells. So let's let's go ahead and talk
about it. Let's talk about fairgrounds. The improvements. You guys have done
a lot. Look, we allknow that the football stadium has been gone.
The south wing is beautiful. Ilove the connection of the walkway over
from the back the most improved.Tell us what's in the books for this
year? What do you What haveyou done well? When I came in

(09:56):
and growing up being a part ofthe fair and the there, I didn't
realize how important it was. Overseventy percent of the hotels this region are
occupied by the people come through ourdoors. This last year we had seven
point two million people. Six pointthree million came through the Kentucky's Position Center,
about nine hundred thousand downtown. Wewent from one hundred and thirty shows

(10:18):
to three hundred and seventy shows lastyear. Oh my god, And I'm
proud of our team. No othervenues in North America have had the recovery
that we've had here in Louis Kentuckywith all the other challenges we've had here
in our communities. So we're prettyexcited about that. But to do that,
we've got to have the facilities inFreedom Hall and the Kentuck Eack's Position
Center. When that was built Isixty five wasn't even there. So when

(10:41):
you come down the interstate you seeour backyard. We've got our storage back
there, so we store our dirtfor six different events, all these different
things. So major, major improvements. As you mentioned, we took down
Cardinals Stadium. We moved that mountainof dirt out in front by the expressway,
got that out of there. We'veimproved our signage. In fact,
if you're on the property today,you'll see us changing the entrance on Gate

(11:03):
four over by the cracker barrel ofCristin and Drive. So we're making a
lot of investments. And then letme tell you how that's happening. The
Kentucky General Assembly, and I meanthat sincerely, they've been very gracious and
very supportive. They've changed the lawto give us more independence so we can
compete nationally and keep the business comingin. Just like what you see today
walking down for Street or in theirname packs every day we worked down here.

(11:24):
We see them all the time.That's from that happening. But the
thing with this this important is thatis a taxpayer. I appreciate this.
They do not just rise a check. We have to present a business plan
and show return on investment. Sothe previous session, when we just finished
here, Susan served in two hundredand sixty million dollars was put forward for

(11:46):
us over the next two years tomake improvements and with that being said,
about two hundred and fifteen for actualbuilding facilities. The other part was maintenance
upgrades like seating and Freedom Hall,our power supply. We've had four major
well. Amen, It's just it'sbeen needed forever. I'm a little villion
I grew up here. I'm tired. I was tired of watching the fair

(12:07):
grounds uh degrade as it was right. The only reason you had to tear
the damn football field down was becauseit just took too long. I mean,
and you had some asbestos or whatever. But Freedom Hall, that's look
we watched. Louisville Gardens is avery good venue. They let it go,
and if you don't improve Freedom Hall. But I do want to say
this, all of this really comesback to Dwight Whitten because he's buried to

(12:31):
a legislator and his pretend lover,Danny Wimmer, has those concerts out there.
So you sir, are the commondenominated with the success of the fair
ground pretend lover. When a pretendlover give me his auto ground. Yeah,
the autograph is actually on restraining order, but it's an autograph. Yeah.

(12:54):
So Danny Wimmer important part of that. He is. In fact,
I've listened to you for years,been part of this community, and you've
talked about the needs of these upgrades. Yes, you have been planting those
seas, and you talked about thepossibilities. I want to say thank you
for what you do for you tohelp us move that further down the road.
Well, we had over one hundredand ten countries represented on our property

(13:16):
last wow over Danny Henry Mitch whileago. Yeah, three hundred and fifteen
thousand people over two weekends. That'stwo countries represented. Massive, massive,
So listen to this too. Bythe way. Okay, so our friends
John and Kara that we go toCobbo Sant Luca's with they actually live in
Buffalo, New York, and wemeet down there. She sends me a

(13:37):
screenshot. She goes, look,I just entered a contest to win all
the way from Buffalo, New Yorkto win tickets to Louder in life.
My point, meaning it's not justa Kentucky and Ohio. They draw from
everywhere. Man, I have afriend here in town. I will miss
his name. He's moved here,really spent much time in Louisville. His
son lives in New York. Andwhen he and his wife sided to being

(13:58):
back to Louisville, his son said, where y'all going back to Louisville?
He said, that's where I goevery year. He said, where you
said, I go to the concerts. So you know, he finds him
from New York every year. Sowe have a lot of this ors from
all the states, and it's prettyamazing and it's important to our economy.
It's also important the retention of peoplethat work here. Yeah, it helps

(14:18):
recruit here, helps people invest here. So it's just part of the overall
system that's good for our community.Are you all fully staffed? No?
Okay, all right, he's gotD. D. Hudson And then that
said just runs around and she's reallyin charge. Let's talk about Freedom Hall,
and I want to put you onthe spot, but I would like

(14:39):
to see more concerts return to FreedomHall. I don't know if that's possibility
or not. But I say wemiss out on a lot of things.
And by the way it's centrally located. I love the venue, I honestly
do. Well, thank you.We want to bring more back, and
we've had some coming in and we'relooking at the opportunity maybe to have a
season tickets a different type of entertainment. Might we deal over Center for the

(15:01):
Arts. You might buy one ofthe season tickets from at four or five
events and you can pick and chooseone you want to go to, or
your family or people you work withor companies might want to do that.
But one of the reasons we can'thave them in Freedom Hall during the State
Fair. And we have a lotof requests, like you just mentioned of
that we have the World Championship horseShow, right, it's a massive deal,

(15:22):
World World it is, and thiswill be the one hundred and twenty
first horse show even though it's onehundred and twentieth State Fair. That's crazy.
So we have to have Freedom Hallto maintain that institutional historical presence on
our property. And so that's whywe have the outdoor concert. If they
work for you, is that thegovernment is that the state. If you
work for you, the government thefairground. Yes, so it's a state

(15:45):
job wor state agency. That's right. Kay, that's what I'm asking.
So people that are driving around theyneed to get a job for their kid
or there, or they need ajob themselves. That's the state job that
comes with benefits. Now, whathow do they get ahold of you?
If they're looking for a job,Just go to a website and feel free
to go to our website and it'lltake you right into our HR department and
I'll reach out to me directly.We're looking for good personnel and we've got

(16:10):
a great team. The reason we'vebeen successful in growing our business because we've
got a very dedicated staff team andin fact, to show you, I
think they enjoy working there. We'veeven had people retiring come back. They
won't be a part of this enthusiasticdevelopment and growth. Of course they care
about it. Yeah, it's beenpart of the bartender that made so much
money. He was just in beverageand he bartended because there's so many events.

(16:33):
You just don't know how many eventsin a row there are. Right
part of this community. I knewthe ones I attended, I didn't know
about the other three hundred plus hey, by the way, bring back East
Coast Hockey to broad back the broaBen Arena. We got still great bones
that place. I can't get intodetails of it, but you'd be amazed.
The people knock on our door everyweek wanting to do things like what

(16:56):
you've talked to, and I'm excitedabout it. We can get the facilities
for needs to be. We getfacilities for see, we're another filth or
sixth in the country now for itssize. We finish our renovation, we're
gonna move up the ladder. Butalso it's going to have the appearance,
the expectations, the technology that today'scustomer and exhibitor expects to have. That
excites me to see. So we'regonna put the class of the south wing

(17:18):
across the whole thing. When realquick, ten seconds, when when's the
west wing gonna get the west end? West wing is a major issue for
us. But to do that correctly, what we better do. See when
we renovated, kick the convention Centerdown until we had to close it for
two years. We're not going toclose okay, you see, we're gonna
leave it open. So we gotto navigate the weather. Yeah, the

(17:41):
construction so we're gonna build a buildingbehind Freedom Hall. It's gonna be large.
Yes, that makes it utilize itthe thing that makes a step at
a time. So much history there. His name is David Back Here is

and western part of the southern Grandapidsis down like the southwest corner the Southwest.

(32:00):
Since the incredible, incredibly boring Hulushow, brats do not watch it.
It is boring. It is basicallyan Andrew McCarthy wine fist, and
I get why none of them wantedto hang out with him. Some called
him aloof and it's exactly how hecomes off. This guy is the only

(32:20):
one that really cares about this stupidarticle that called him the brat pack actually
made you more famous, So shutup and sit down. They are because
so many people watched this incredibly boringshow on Hulu, brats that they want
to make a sequel of Saint Elbow'sFire. Oh come on, what are

(32:40):
they like? Businessman and stuff?This would be the first one was a
tur This would the first movie wasobviously about the transition from college to life.
Was that John Parlo wrote that songyep, and I was a huge
I never saw the movie, bute've ben the instrumental in the middle of
the song that was hit song allright, So it's crazy. It was

(33:04):
such a hit that even Phil Collinsgot pissed off about it. So the
first movie was about, you know, transition from college to life. The
second one which they're not going todo the movie if all of them don't
get on board. So Emilio Estevez, Rob Low, Demi Moore, Judd
Nelson, Ali Sheety, Uh Mayorwinning Ham, and Andrew McCarthy. If

(33:30):
they're not all in, they're notdoing the movie. So when the sequel
they're still living in their parents' basementat fifty five, they are, it
would be it would be the fiftyfive year old selves like, well,
how did their life turn out?Like one of them is getting divorced.
One of them has multiple pronouns.Obviously Judd Nelson and Ali Sheety would be
divorced because that's the way they weregoing. I don't even remember what Emilio

(33:52):
Estevich was. He was the bartender, He was a repo man. He
actually did do that, did he? Rob Low was the playboy with the
earring and smoked too much. Heprobably ended up with the crack habit.
Who's the guy that plays iron ManTony Stark? Robert Downey Robert Downey Jr.

(34:12):
So I'd forgotten about this. Isaw a meme over the weekend and
it said greatest comeback ever, Andit showed Robert Downey Jr. Because I
forgot about how much trouble he gotin in shackles and chains in prison,
prison time, like walking to thecourt for your appeals and then to the
Academy Awards or whatever. Well,I forgot how he uh, well,
he tried to help mel Gibson becauseafter running down Robert Downey Junior went to

(34:37):
prison or jail, and they rememberhe woke up in someone's house, right,
he broke into the house. Hewas sleeping in their beds because he
was on his Margot Kitterer's place.He was living his character out of less
than zero, right, he wasliving that that character. Mel Gibson came
and put him in that movie,that stupid movie about the CIA smuggling drugs
out of Vietnam or something. Andmel Gibson went him and said, if

(35:00):
you embrace, if you embrace what'shappened to you and we're willing to change,
I'll help you. I'll help youmake a comeback. So mel Gibson
was, I mean, he wasshoote star. He put him as the
co star of the movie about thatcia a drug smuggling and got him work.
And then Danny Glover came over toMel Gibson's house for coffee and saw

(35:21):
what was going on. He creakedhis neck and went, I'm getting too
old for this. Blank. I'vegot something you guys need to look into.
Okay. On Etsy, there isa doll named Billy. What is
happening right now? Can I sayone thing for you? Going further?

with her lifelike green eyes and brownringlets and terrifying backstory. The Etsy seller
says she was a brilliant florist,trapped in an abusive marriage, then brutally

(36:07):

(36:52):
It could be her for about fivehundred for the one that you are
you're talking to. What does doesit? Does it? But it doesn't
come with a uh like a moneyback guarantee if it doesn't haunt somebody.
I don't know that because as muchas it's selling for about five hundred bucks,
so five hundred dollars to buy ahaunt a doll? No thank you.

(37:14):
But if I could just like buyit and then go to a cookout
