Speaker 3

It might be Oh lord, good job, as I call you the Blonde Labradory.

Maybe I'll tell this story on Monday. Do it now? You've already We were at cat Is, out of back. We were out of the h.

Speaker 1

Cervice last night with with Danil Wimmer. Uh, celebrating a big announcement. We have no idea what that is, but it should be coming some point today around two o'clock.

Speaker 2

So what happened?

Speaker 3

I know you you have professed your love to this man for so many years.

Speaker 2

Uh was it awkward?

Speaker 1

A little bit awkward for him, not for me? Uh, but you know, Uh, there was an awkward fifteen minute hug. Might have been a little bit droll on his shoulder, was slobberries crying that I met Danny Wimmer. But this place service have you ever been that? Where's that at the Highlands?

Speaker 2

This place is amazing? Uh? It was mostly you had tequila. What did everybody else have? Everybody?

Speaker 1

Everybody else had bourbon and beer. I was the only one that had.

Speaker 3

I was making an alcoholic everyone else ate food.

Speaker 1

Oh yeah, they had guacamali, the best guacamole.

Speaker 2

I've ever had. They had uh, you know, like faheata steaks. You know.

Speaker 1

They had for dessert the ice cream. There was chocolate shaped in the shell of an avocado skin, Yes, like an avocolo had been split, you know, and the skin was chocolate, the green was avocado ice cream. And they had a chocolate seed for the avocado seed.

Speaker 3

I don't want anything to do with avocado ice cre It was no, it was delicious.

Speaker 1

But anyway, I've never been to a dinner where they take the spoon and then they hit the glass and do the ding ding ding ding ding d d d and then make a speech. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, never been to one of these dinners. Last night, Danny Weimmer.

Speaker 2

Did its a very good.

Speaker 1

And he made a speech all right. Then he sat down. The room got quiet, and then a guy by the name of John McCarthy, who was very instrumental in this, he stood up and he went.

Speaker 2

You know where it's going.

Speaker 3

This is the list of you know who in the straw it stirs the drink. In this situation, it's Stephen.

Speaker 2

Stephen is the guy. So he made a toes. He said down.

Speaker 3

They got quiet for like, oh you didn't know you did, my poor wife?

Speaker 2

Oh no, So the third one is always the payoff of r is it. Yeah? So I started dinging my glass ding ding, ding, ding ding ding, and my wife just hung her head. She said nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

Speaker 1

And everybody looked at me, the entire table, and it's a who's who of everybody stayed in the city. They look at me, and I went, oh, I'm sorry. I was just trying to get my tequila to settle, and so everybody laughed, and then Danny goes, no, seriously say something.

Speaker 3

Oh, and my wife said, no, how many tequilas.

Speaker 1

At this point I was okay, there were doubles and I was five doubles in, So what's that ten that's tend to us in.

Speaker 3

That's hence the reference to alcoholism a few minutes ago.

Speaker 2

That's so. I so, I you know.

Speaker 1

I said something blah blah blah whatever I said down, and I said.

Speaker 2

No, you know what, because Mary Greenberg was there with his wife Rachel. Mind you, Gus. Here, here's the thing.

Speaker 3

Let's just table this first, right, because this guy is responsible for building the biggest raw concert in the country and keeping it in Louisville.

Speaker 5

Two of them, right, Yeah.

Speaker 3

Bourbon and beyond allowed in life and in the balance is your tend tequila in toast?

Speaker 2

Right?

Speaker 1

But it's almost what could go here? So Morgan McGarvey flew in from Washington, d C.

Speaker 2

To be there.

Speaker 1

Craig and Rachel Greenberg were there, David Beck, the guy that runs all of Kentucky venues.

Speaker 2

It was Who's who who?

Speaker 1

They sit you with you for whatever reason, they set me on the far end, on the very far end, away from everybody. So anyway, I did the ding dang. He asked me to speak and I said, I sat down. They thought it was over.

Speaker 2

I went, no, you know what, and then my wife hung her head again.

Speaker 1

I said, Danny, if I could speak for the mayor, and I think I can, and then went on to speak for the mayor.

Speaker 3

Now, Gus, mind your story.

Speaker 2

It's a true story. When I said if I could speak for the mayor, either way, We'll just get this out in the open.

Speaker 3

We are the favorite show of Craig Greenberg and his wife Rachel right send it on several occasions goes there is no show like we do love doing your show.

Speaker 2

That is the truth. So there's no there's some truth to that. But Gus understand dwights.

Speaker 3

Burger room because Dwight's in the room because of his wife. The leg there's no question, no connection between your evening show on QMF.

Speaker 2

No. No.

Speaker 1

The reason I was there is because a lot of people were working really hard to keep Danny Wimmer in this city.

Speaker 2

With this two festivals, they're going to stay away from you. No, that too. There was a lot of people shielding Danny from me.

Speaker 1

But my wife passed a bill that gave tax credits because this thing bourbon and beyond and louder in life. You would not believe the hundreds of millions of tax revenue this brings in. It's like a Kentucky Derby number two.

Speaker 2

Now.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I always thought we'd bring back one hundred point five of the Fox, and we should just because of those concerts here morning. Everywhere I go, some people they bring it up.

Speaker 2

You know, you go in there.

Speaker 1

You stop kicking. It's accident. Well, don't cross your legs my way, Susan, cross them that way.

Speaker 6

Uh?

Speaker 3

We have a whole day of things to do. I gotta go get my license because it's expired.

Speaker 6

Pictures on these, I got my real ID. You cannot you're not allowed. You can smile, but you can't show your teeth.

Speaker 1

Well, it's the same way with the pass that's the same way with the passport.

Speaker 2

You cannot smiles.

Speaker 6

Okay, yeah, you're you really can't smile. You're just kind of you know, you know, it's like you're it's like a mug shot. But why can you not show your teeth?

Speaker 2

Is what I wanted to I was curious. Well, here's the deal.

Speaker 3

So inside baseball they won't admit it publicly, but on you know, off the record, I've been told by the folks that are in charge that said, yeah, we kind of knee jerked on the real idea.

Speaker 2

We don't really need it because it's it's just a license.

Speaker 1

I'm here to get my real ID. Here's an actual driver's license, here's my birth certificate, here's my Social Security number. It's not enough info.

Speaker 3

If you can get an appointment, I go to the website almost every day, and I'll check, Hey, Bartstown, do they have any Nope, eatoun Nope, the three lovel locations, nope. I even went as far as there's one about twenty minutes southside of Cincinnati and the Kentucky side, and nope, no appointments you can get.

Speaker 2

So I don't know. I know the police. We talked to l MPD.

Speaker 3

They're not you know, they're not writing tickets because they know how difficult it is to get the the license renewed. Now is there two different lines? Is there one for if I'm just getting a regular license?

Speaker 2

I don't know. It's all one. It's all one.

Speaker 3

Peanut Gallery is saying, No, it's all that's south Side Chuck. Southside Chuck says, it's all one way. Yeah, okay, south Side Chuck's in it. It's two lines, that's right, exactly. A big fellow. Yeah, he'll take you down.

Speaker 2

So I gotta do that. And then we're thinking about doing a spray tan who's Lee Jackie and I okay, twenty five bucks, don't put me in on this. You did it before. Yeah.

Speaker 1

When I lost that way, Port Control wanted to document it right.

Speaker 2

For his website.

Speaker 1

So he said, before we do the photo shoot with Adam Brendan, go get a spray tan.

Speaker 2

I was like, what, Well, it didn't take long at all.

Speaker 3

No, no, no, it's the famous Kevin Audie line from the nineteen nineties. Tan fat is better looking than pay.

Speaker 2

Absolutely. So we're thinking about doing a little right, you know, something to do.

It used to be they would just wait for you to leave, but now they're getting more bold. As it is, you need a security system hooked through to the police EMS fire. You know how much in a fire situation

of death or alive that a minute can be. That's why you got to go with Maps Residential, or you could just buy the system off Amazon and try to hook it yourself.

Speaker 2

That should be not in the plans.

Speaker 3

Plus, if you if you call and get a hold of Maps Security they'll throw in the Alexa free with the system, and it makes it even faster because she now or he I know, you don't.

Speaker 4

Kevin, buddy, I could not be better.

Speaker 2

You look good. I'm horrible. But I did a lot of party with Danny Wimmen or the guy that puts on all those concerts. I partied to the wee hours, so I.

Speaker 3

H but he's a trooper. If you all don't know, Kevin and I grew up knowing each other forever. Kevin went off to fight the wars and and do your thing.

Speaker 2

Uh. Retired as a lieutenant colonel in the Marines. Uh.

Speaker 3

And you were gone forever, But now it seems like you've been back forever. I'll ask you this first question, why why did you Why did you come back to Louisville.

Speaker 4

It came down to, as you know, my unbelievable wife, Jennifer. Yes, and like you two, hall of I'm married up.

Speaker 2

Yeah, absolutely, I'm married up. And we have two boys.

Speaker 4

And at some point when we said, hey, the Marine Corps, we're done, it was great exciting. I had a house on a coldal sac with a pool and no taxes in Florida. So we had two boys and I said, you know what, I want to get them in Louisville. My networks in Louisville. My people are in Louisville, as I like to call in a positive way, my tribe is in Louisville. I was very fortunate, Catholic grade school, public high school, I went to Center College. You know,

a lot of my people are in Louisville. And I'm a firm believer. It takes that village to raise those boys.

Speaker 2

And I'm the village idiot.

Speaker 4

And well, and you know what, you can do your part as well. So anyway, that's why we moved. And my wonderful wife kinda said, well, and I had an opportunity. Guy that I met in the Marine Corps had a real estate brokerage, and he said.

Speaker 2

I have an opportunity.

Speaker 4

Maybe you can help us grow. I don't know, we'll call it. Uh, we'll teach you. But what do you think and leap of faith here we are, Tony.

Speaker 3

What he does is Dwight is like it's communication, it's networking, right, uh And and I don't know how that ties from the military to what you're doing now and connecting and networking, but I know that you know, you told us a story.

Speaker 2

I was with you.

Speaker 3

You went up to Purdue and talked to John's uh you know uh r r O TC and you said your call sign is blue Grass six, Yes, blue Grass six, and that he tells a story and that it's it seemed like the helicopter guy, the fixed wing guy.

Speaker 2

They all went, oh, it's blue Grass six. Well, but you told that story in the networking part of it.

Speaker 4

And here's how it goes. As you know, networking to me is a is an open system of reciprical relationships, right, but it also in today the world we live in, it has trust is the key, all right, trust Dwight And twenty years ago you could be who you want here at work, you could be a different person. Different

person will guess what doesn't work that waymore. And so I was very fortunate when I was a commander in Afghanistan the time commander, my call signs Bluegrass because I was the commander was Bluegrass six and so I was responsible for an area. I think of a you know, huge couple thousand square kilometers with a cone over it, and so that cone from zero to x thousand feet I was responsible. So that was area of operation Bluegrass. I was responsible for all of it. Do all that

pilots have to fly through that area. They would check in when we had an air shot, Bluegrass, are you know checking in whatever?

Speaker 2

So fast forward a couple of years.

Speaker 4

I'm in grad school with the military and somebody says, hey, Bluegrass and it was great. A guy who's a Marine fighter pilot. He says, wait, you're Bluegrass. I was like yeah, and he goes, dude, I fought out. Do you remember that one time we came and had to help you?

Speaker 2

Guy?

Speaker 4

I mean, and it's literally that's how it worked. But it was amazing, as here's a guy and to me, it's it's very and I'll guess to why I moved to Louisville. Here's a guy in the Marine Corps that you know, he's at ten thousand feet and we've got you know, troops in contact on the ground, and he wasn't asking questions about well I really.

Speaker 2

Know you and I like that.

Speaker 4

No, yeah, you have the ego globe and anchor, and you know what your marine a marine. I'm gonna help you, I know, like and trust you.

Speaker 2

I get it, you pass that test.

Speaker 4

I was very fortunate growing up here in Louisville in that I have a group of friends and that front group grows, grows, grows, okay, and it's the no liking trust okay. And to me, that's how networking is. And I hear a lot of things, Hey we're having a great network event. Okay, Well that's that sounds good. Well are you growing your network? Are you meeting new people? Are you helping people?

Speaker 2

And I'm just having cocktails?

Speaker 4

Are you just having cocktails and getting a business card? Because what I like to say is the objective of a networking event is for me, I like to go in there and I like to meet two people, connect to them, and then I'll move on. If I could connect two people that can mutually support each other, guess what, I move on.

Speaker 2

That's a success.

Speaker 4

It's not can I get your business cards?

Speaker 2

Right? No?

Speaker 4

Because it's about relationships. So trust built relationships is kind of how my life has turned out. And I'm very fortunate. I've got guys like you all, and my family is now a beneficiary of that.

Speaker 2

Dwight, we are.

Speaker 3

He actually has a chart and he does the inner circle. I think we're both in the inner okay, under different things.

Speaker 2

I bet he has me on the outer circle in a square. Okay, well I would. I would tell you this. He said it was something called an L seven. I'm not sure what that is.

Speaker 4

I will tell you this. So you know, I work with Berkshire, Hathaway Home Services, Carts and Whitesbury Reals. Right, And so this young lady here she is she's, you know, kind of my assistant, but we work together.

Speaker 1

Wait is that Berkshire or is that Hathaway that just walked looks like Haway.

Speaker 2

She's kind of Hathaway.

Speaker 4

You're a fight and this is Mikayla Smith does great work. But here's here's the network.

Speaker 2

You're ready for this.

Speaker 4

So Michayla Smith and her brother Levi, who is a rock star realtor, brand new, he's been about two years. They joined our brokers. Levi joins as a realtor. MICHAELA comes works with me about growing the company and where you grow up and she told him I grew up in the South End.

Speaker 2

And I'm like, oh, I love you.

Speaker 4

Do you know what I've got to Well, here's the best part. I got a South End guys. He's Dwight Whitt and you're well kind of well. Then I come to find out that she says, my dad's going to be on their show, and I said.

Speaker 2

Larry's going to be on the show.

Speaker 4

Are they going to talk about home building?

Speaker 2

Larry Smith?

Speaker 4

Yes, there you go.

Speaker 2

But you're so beautiful? Did he did? He adopt or? Obviously?

Speaker 4

So so I bring that up because right off the bat, and that's what we try to work with our realtors is about. Uh, if you can focus on relationships, relationship business building is can last forever. Whereas Transactional has a short shelf.

Speaker 1

It is the Halthaway in Berkshire, halfway related to Anne Hathaway that worked for uh uh, Misterdale.

Speaker 2

From the bank.

Speaker 1

I don't think I don't think so.

Speaker 2

All right, So here so Chevro, yeah, real quick, because I think it's a cool story, the bluegrass story. Give me thirty seconds. So he The reason that the fixed wing guy.

Speaker 3

Said I knew you were your bluegrass is because did you were trying to shoot down a building with a sniper in it and the missile bounced off?

Speaker 2

No? That was that was that was That was eight years prior. That was in Fallujah. Yeah, so it's the helicopter missile bounced off that.

Speaker 4

We had one bounce off and it took forever. It was a minaret, big tower.

Speaker 2

They play that music.

Speaker 4

Yeah, Typer shooting got some people's bad and we had to go all the way up to you can probably imagine, like DC to get approval to take that thing out, and we called it a cobra, shot a rocket at it and it kind of bounced off. This thing's at one hundred feet and it's crazy. We end up got to know that pilot. But it finally waiting for approval. Listen, we have to drop this thing. And we're very fortunate

that we had some marines working together. Put a pilot said, dude, you got to run down there and somebody cover them. You get up on top of a building. I need you to do your laser pilot stuff, and you know, as they call it, paint that tower at a certain putt. And they did, and they took that thing out and there's videos of it dropping. But the key is is at some point in time, we end up meeting all

those people, right, and there's a lifelong bond. It's like if I trust you, know if I will never trust you, if I don't know you, But if I.

Speaker 2

Trust you, that's good.

Speaker 4

That's all I need. And we try to do the same thing.

Speaker 2

Like I said, with our agents.

Speaker 4

What you really want is someone to call up and say, hey, I know you're thinking about buying to sell your house. I've got a friend. You know. I've got Levi Smith. You know, I've got Kevin Tremble, I've got you know, Dave Parks, Judy Parks. I trust them. And when I talk to somebody Tony, when I call you, or why I call you Tony, who do you know that can fix elevators. Well, I know Tony doesn't know anything about elevators, but Tony knows.

Speaker 2

Somebody somebody, but he knows a lot about going down right.

Speaker 4

But if he doesn't trust him, he knows also he'd tell me up front. So it's about trust. And trust is to me what we try to do with our agents, because that's essence of leadership.

Speaker 3

So I will say this, and I want a real quick want to talk about your son. He plays football for cn X. But when our group that we hang out with Colonel Hedges, Colonel Tremble, they were gone forever.

Speaker 2

And we have this tight group. The energy level.

Speaker 3

If you can imagine when these two move back to town, he got shocker. The two colonels organize the group better than we've ever done before. But now it seems like forever that you're back. But we got about two minutes here. Uh, your son Mason quarterback at Saint X, last year for Wallas at st X.

Speaker 2

Yes, how's that going? I guess it's good.

Speaker 4

I'm dad and that's one of the things that I've tried very very hard to do. And I think, uh, the Tigers are gonna have a great year.

Speaker 2

I really do.

Speaker 4

I'm only I'm optimistic for that. As I told my young man, I didn't send him there, Uh, to play football. Football is just icing's on the cake. But he knows that. You know, I showed you that. Finally he's taken after and it's our wives. He's taken after Johnny. Yeah, you know, he made all on a roll. But you know what, so do all his friends. Yes, So I think the Tigers are gonna be as good as they want to be, and they're gonna put in the effort. And I'm excited because it's great being a parent.

Speaker 3
