00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: He was a major part of putting the draft into Nashville.

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,760

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I've known Butcher for about five

23
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: years going into our six year of knowing each other,

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: and he's an unbelievable person who works with honesty and

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: integrity and has definitely turned the city into city to

Speaker 1: deep down, write it on a piece of paper, put

82
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: it in a shredder, and then throw it in the river, baby,

83
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: and then fish it out because you don't want to

84
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: Pluto rivers. And that's a bad thing to do. You

91
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: my old man didn't have a big chest either.

92
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 4: You made up for it.

93
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, I can just just a big dude. I

94
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: don't know I figured it out.

95
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 4: I think it was last weekend. I kind of went.

96
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: I was just thinking about the draft, Titan draft. Yeah,

97
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 4: and you're still struggling with all right. I love the

98
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 4: Simmons pick, but first round pick, they can't play. Yeah,

99
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 4: it's like scratch your head and thene Just the other

100
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 4: day I went, did they think they could do that?

101
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 4: Because they had picked up Cam and can He's only

102
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 4: got one or two years left, so you got a

103
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 4: placeholder to grab what should have been a top ten pick,

104
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 4: top five. Yeah, if he's not going to play, why

105
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: would you waste that? Except I don't know if that

106
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 4: makes sense. That's a question.

107
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 5: No.

108
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: I definitely get. I definitely get what you're saying. Were

109
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: rolling right now? Are we just chilling? All right? So

110
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: this can maybe make it in the podcast? Who knows?

111
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: I don't so. First off, I'm not a GM by

112
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: any means, but I do and I do think John

113
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: Robinson there's a method to everything that he does totally agree.

114
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: But I think that when you have a guy like

115
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons, who what I've been told by experts just

116
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: from reading, like everybody else, the guy was a surefire

117
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: top five pick and gets hurt. And I don't know

118
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: if it was an ACL. I don't even know what

119
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: he had a TOURNEYCL. So if he had a torny

120
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: a CL that ain't like the nineties or even the

121
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: early two thousands anymore. That's a you'd come back in

122
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: nine to ten months and you're solid. And I think

123
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: I think the first thing that our team does is

124
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: base guys off character, and I think the issues he

125
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: had or whatever, and I don't know a lot about it.

126
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: I know that he's overcome a quite a bit of things,

127
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: and people do make mistakes, and I think that John

128
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: saw those things and saw this guy's a kind of

129
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: a rare talent probably and could be special. And in

130
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: our defensive line, I mean, you brought Cam Wake in,

131
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: you got Harold Landry, who's get a second year and

132
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: that jump from one to two is huge and three

133
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: two to three is usually better. And then you got

134
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: Joe Casey Da Kwan Jones signed a new contract to

135
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: Austin Johnson, Like, there's a lot of guys that are

136
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: very good on that defensive line, and so when you

137
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: that's kind of just like I feel like it's just

138
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: kind of padding the stats, you know. And then to

139
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: have a guy like a J. Brown, who was, I

140
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: believe everybody was the first wide receiver off the board

141
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: kind of guy for him to fall in the second,

142
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think that the Titans had

143
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: a great had a great start.

144
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: You were asking about Cam, Yeah, just him.

145
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 4: He's a little bit of tread left. So it buys

146
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: you the year while you're getting Simmons. Ye, that's kind

147
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 4: of my.

148
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: And leader ship qualities, Like the dynamic of a locker

149
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: room matters tremendously, and the Titans have a great locker room.

150
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: Uh.

151
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 3: That was last year with the titles, was probably my

152
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: favorite locker room I've been in. When you lose guys

153
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: like Brian A. Rackpo and Derek Morgan like veterans, vets

154
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: in the locker room and at outside back a pass rushers,

155
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 3: you know, Cam comes in and can he has those

156
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: leadership qualities, has those intangibles.

157
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 2: He's been around the block.

158
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: They definitely do their homework on guys like Rabel is

159
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: just not going to bring in any any sleptic.

160
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: That's it's this is.

161
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: The most this is the most organization I've seen since

162
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: I've since I've been there.

163
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: They do a good job communicating from the top down,

164
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: John Robinson, He's in every meeting, every squad meeting. Rabel

165
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: is always communicating vision. He's always preaching the vision, whether

166
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: it's the three keys of the game, the three things

167
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: we're gonna get done during ot as, three things in

168
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: the off season that we need to improve on, three

169
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: things in training camp, three change. He's constantly changing things,

170
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: but at the same time he's painting at clear vision,

171
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: clear expectations of what's going to happen, which that is.

172
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: You know, that's huge for a team, for any organization.

173
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure you know, dealing with big time

174
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: rooms that you've been everybody done by in Yeah, it's

175
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: over and you have to be clear in your expectations

176
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 3: because even when shit hits the fan, you've got to

177
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: follow in those fundamental values, those fundamental things that you're

178
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: talking that you talk about and preaching.

179
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: The Titans do a really good job of that. They

180
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: do a really good job.

181
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, those guys, the consistency of leadership from the top

182
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: bottom is really good. Like he said, great, Rabel comes

183
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: in and our ota is we have three or four

184
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: words that are consistent day in and day out, and

185
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: he quizzes guys day in and day out on everything.

186
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: And so people, when you're in those meeting rooms, you're

187
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: in those team and he's, man, that's like, that's the

188
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: most stressful part of our day.

00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: Your asshole is tight, like.

190
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,400

195
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,360

00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: Or you know the answer, and you just like you're

201
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,160

202
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 5: Just.

203
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 4: Intimidating us. Hell, he's just so intense.

204
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: He's he's I think, okay, okay, yeah, like you got

205
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: a ball, you know, I think the thing about Rabel,

206
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: that's that plays off. That is one. He played in

207
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: the league for so long, so he's done it. But

208
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: his confidence he's got, he's got a lot of confidence.

209
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: The way he talks. The wait, he's he's sure when

210
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: he speaks, he's sure. There's there's no there's no wavering

211
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: or doubt. And then the message he's trying to get across,

212
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: whether that's a basic conversation or that's you're talking about

213
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: whatever it is you and him would him would talk

214
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: about were they involved at all with the draft stuff?

215
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 4: Uh? That helped us when we were raising money. Both

216
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 4: Robinson and Rabel showed up, came out. Steve Underwood broken

217
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 4: on the administrators side, invaluable. Even Amy Amy Adam's trunk.

218
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: How was Amy the best dude?

219
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: She said, she'd come on the bus.

220
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, your and your wife's a cool got hey, you

Speaker 2: Boys, ain't nobody that's the move.

00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tayling's car we got. Uh she had that Tesla

224
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: and that thing. I didn't like them, but damn that

225
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:22,400

00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 4: Have you before? Yeah?

227
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: That's one right now, it's the best vehicle. You go home,

228
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: you plug it in, you go to bed, you wake up.

229
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: You never have touch a gas station ever again.

230
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. We had a little scare though

231
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: that one night. Yeah, like what was it? How many

232
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: miles left?

233
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: I had like two percent battery or something like that,

234
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 1: and driving from here home. I was coming from here

235
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: home and I started cruising over and I was like,

236
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm not going to make it. And we barely made

237
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: it to the house. You little like kicked out on

238
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: me as soon as I got in the garage.

239
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he calls me, He's like, hey, man, do you

240
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: mind following me home? I don't know if I'm gonna

241
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 3: make it.

242
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go. And we're on the highway.

243
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: What going like twenty miles an hour on the highway.

244
00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: Everybody's on their horns.

245
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: Nashville traffic anyway, man, Nashville traffic anyway. So what is

246
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: your Chamber of Commerce? Like is that?

247
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 4: What is your the presidency of the Nashville Convention and

248
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 4: Visitors Corporation. So we have a contract with the city

249
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 4: to do the sales and marketing to bring events, conventions, leisure, visitors,

250
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 4: anything the Chamber doesn't do really. Uh so we trace

251
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 4: the draft For example, we traced British air flying here

252
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 4: started last year.

253
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: You're talking about that. We're going to get into that too.

254
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 3: When it comes to the draft, what is that process? Like, so,

255
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 3: does the NFL contact Nashville or now you just said

256
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: we chase stuff like you guys go out on your

257
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: side and try to get the draft to Nashville. Yes,

258
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: that's how it happens. And is that is that stated

259
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 3: with past events that have happened or how do you push?

260
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 4: Like, let me, I'll back up. So kind of we

261
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 4: used events to think that's how we can He's Nashville up.

262
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 4: So we were doing that pretty well, but on a

263
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 4: medium scale and literally started looking around with draft makes

264
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 4: sense for this time?

265
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: Let me let me sever there what we're qualified as

266
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: a medium scale?

267
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's a medium scale?

268
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 3: Because you've talked about the five year what was it

269
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: the five year surge kind of Nashal when you're building

270
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 3: the music city and then in sixteen you're like quoted saying,

271
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: you know, we're kind of at the you know, we're

272
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: kind of on the back end of that five year plan.

273
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 3: But then twenty seventeen happens, and then that's when was

274
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: that five year thing kind of a medium scale or

275
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: like yeah, yeah.

276
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, NHL All Star Game would really be medium Women's

277
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 4: Final four. Medium didn't have the huge viewership or the

278
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: huge payoff. But you build your track record, you build

279
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 4: your experience. We produced all the pred parties watch parties

280
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 4: for the Preds during the Stanley Cup.

281
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: Run unblievable, the downtown stuff.

282
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, NFL or NHL, the irony. I get a call

283
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 4: from the Prince Fire Marshall says, our plaz is to crowded.

284
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 4: The league won't let us have a quote watch party.

285
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 4: Would you help? I go, well, I don't work for

286
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 4: the damn NHL. Call it whatever the hell we want. Yeah,

287
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 4: we'll do it. We'll go across the street. So we

288
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 4: threw a party and we go all right, this work

289
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 4: at a screen so we would describe it as we

290
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 4: fed the beast. Wasn't our idea, but we have enough

291
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 4: sense to know what people like beer, music, sports, So

292
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 4: we always had music. We always had beer, and that's

293
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 4: the crowd crew. We kept throwing up a screen. Then

294
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 4: all soo, we go, oh shit, this big. So we

295
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 4: moved into Broadway. Then we collided with CMA Music Fest

296
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 4: and now it's a police Public Works Mayor's office. Preds CMA.

297
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 4: We're all around the table going this is about to

298
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 4: blow up. And HL is going, we don't do watch parties.

299
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 4: It hurts our viewership. That's at the beginning. At the end,

300
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 4: they're going, we do it again a concert? Could we

301
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 4: televise this? And then now they love watch parties. They

302
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: call them watch parties and Edmundton, uh, Calgary like city's

303
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 4: call and think about Canadian city calling redneck Nashville. I'm

304
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 4: calling myself a redneck? Are not Nashville? And what'd you do?

305
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 4: How'd you do that? I go, we fed the beast.

306
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 4: We didn't do anything. We put it out there and

307
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 4: let the public make it happen. And but round about story.

308
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 4: On Game six of the Stanley Cup the next morning,

309
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 4: I sent a picture to the NFL and said, we're

310
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 4: just practicing for you. We're waiting on you. And all that.

311
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: You said. When you say you said the NFL, that's

312
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: a you said, it said Roger Goodell? That or who

313
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: I said?

314
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 4: Peter O'Reilly, who is the was the senior v now

315
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 4: his executive vice president over club business and all events.

316
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 4: So Super Bowl, combine Pro Bowl, right anything off the field.

317
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 4: This guy's in charge so email him. I same a

318
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 4: picture and he goes, we're watching.

319
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's awesome.

320
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: Back in the twenty eleven, I called the Titans and said,

321
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 4: let's go to New York. Huh, let's go see the NFL.

322
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 4: I think we should ask them to move the draft.

323
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 4: So think about I'm talking about eight years ago and

324
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 4: they want we don't move the draft. You should it'd

325
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 4: be big. And of course they patted me on the head.

326
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 4: My way, right, Yeah, you were that.

327
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: You were one of the first people to say had

328
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: this innings this Indians take a tour.

329
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 4: Could argue that we might have been the first to

330
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 4: knock on their door and say we wanted And then

331
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 4: I laugh. I go when they decided they took well,

332
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 4: when they took it to Chicago, we were I want

333
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 4: to bid. So Peter O'Reilly actually goes, we're going to Chicago, La,

334
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 4: we're not bidding. I go, oh, I know, I want

335
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 4: a bid, but I go, can I send you a proposal?

336
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 4: He goes, we're gonna go to Chicago, LA, I use

00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 4: me put Nashville in front of you. I said, Okay,

339
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 4: it wasn't I didn't put a lot of work into it,

340
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 4: but I send him my proposal.

341
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: Little blueprint is something. It is a quick little deal.

342
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 4: Think about us, and then we wanted to get it

343
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 4: before they formalized the process. I missed that. Yeah, and

344
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 4: that the RFP was a bitch as you can in

345
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 4: the NFL. I mean they're serious. Yeah, it was hard.

346
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 4: It was really hard.

347
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: So coming out of the draft. Okay, so you got

348
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: the draft in Nashville, and I've seen comparisons on the

349
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 3: service level of like you know, in social media and

350
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: news about how well Nashville did compare to like Arlington,

351
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 3: and the likes of oh we smacked him up, and

352
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 3: Nashville has been the best. It was the best one.

353
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 4: So they got Butcher lap. I'm sorry, they got.

354
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: A shirt sped up that water the confidence.

355
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 2: Sorry they got Butcher slapped baby.

356
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 4: I don't normally do that, but I couldn't tell you

357
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 4: that you love it.

358
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,720

Speaker 2: Manes slapped him up.

361
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,479
Speaker 1: Man, So you did you expect it to be five

362
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: hundred thousand plus people?

363
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 4: No, I would tell you incorrect. We told the NFL

364
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 4: and with police and said, we do one hundred thousand

365
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 4: a day. Easy. Yeah, so we thought three hundred thousand,

366
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: and we were prepared for one hundred and fifty thousand

367
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 4: a day, so we off the record with cops. We

368
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 4: would go, we'll have one hundred and fifty. I said,

369
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 4: at least Thursday night, probably with Tim McGraw on Friday night,

370
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 4: but let's use one hundred. Manage expectations exceed and then yeah,

371
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 4: you know I've already said ship Ibout shipped myself firstday night, dude,

372
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 4: how good. It was a good chip.

373
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: The smoothie didn't have to go back for second Friday morning.

375
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: Gotta be sitting there like I'm just a fucking stud.

376
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 4: Really lucky. Great. You know Citi's Police, Cities, public works,

377
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 4: the stuff we did, the city did for the NFL.

378
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 4: They go, we've never had a partner like this. And

379
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 4: of course we brought well, Tim brought himself to the takeable,

380
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 4: but we said we want music.

381
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: So when you so Fireworks two years ago or whatever,

382
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: a year before the draft start, you called me and

383
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: you wanted me to do THEO the video with Kings

384
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: of Leon for the draft and I saw Tim McGraw

385
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: and Eddie George do do a similar video. Did Tim

386
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: put himself on the table around that time or was

387
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: he like because you're your buddies with Tim right, I

388
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: wasn't feel like I am.

389
00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 4: Now.

390
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, the media got when that we were bidding, we

391
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 7: were gonna put we've been shortlisted, and all of a sudden,

392
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 7: Tim's manager emails me out of the blun goes.

393
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 4: Said hey, if you get this, Tim wants in. So

394
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 4: I'm like, wait a minute, Tim wants in. So first

395
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 4: I asked could I use him to Could I say?

396
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 4: He's on our host committee. So when we went into pitch,

397
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 4: I went in and said, yeah, we got the mayor

398
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 4: and the governor, and we've got Amy and Steve Underwood,

399
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 4: but I have Kirk Hirstreet, Eddie George and Tim mccrath

400
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 4: and the NFLF Taylor. There's a room of twenty staffers

401
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 4: and they're gone. I said, we don't have a host committee,

402
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 4: but if we did, here's who would be on it.

403
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 4: And they're looking at really, yeah, I'm not making this up. Uh. Then,

404
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 4: when we knew we were going to get it, when

405
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 4: I called you and the Kings and I called Eddie

406
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 4: and Tim and said, would you do to the video

407
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 4: because part of our stick was we're gonna have big

408
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 4: names announcing this with you. We're gonna have more people

409
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 4: know about it in the NFL. I got a good

410
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 4: follow up story on that.

411
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: I didn't get the call.

412
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 4: So Tim, after he does the video, goes, I want

413
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 4: to play.

414
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, that's it, that's okay. Anything else, Tim, do

415
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: you wanna do you want to play?

416
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 4: Oh?

417
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: You want to Okay?

418
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 4: So then I had to you know, in my head,

419
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 4: I go, I don't have a ton of money. So

420
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 4: the next day is agent calls me and says, Tim said,

421
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 4: he talked to you. He's serious. He wants to play. Fine, okay,

422
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 4: does he want a big play or a big pay

423
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 4: If he needs a big payday, I'm probably not the guy. Yeah,

424
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 4: but if he wants a big play, I'm all in.

425
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 4: I'll take care of it. We'll cover expenses. And he

426
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 4: wanted to play. He played for free. He deserves all.

427
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: He played for free.

428
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 4: And no other city's gonna get an a list act

429
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 4: to come out.

430
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: No doubt. You know. Do you think La or something

431
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: like that would get would be able to get an

432
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: a list guy, because I think everyone lives there. But

433
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: the thing is the thing that's interesting between there's New York, right,

434
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 1: and there's La, and then people in New York and La.

435
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: That's it. Everything else is just there's the plane you

436
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: have to take to get to the next spot. But Nashville.

437
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: The thing about Nashville that I think this city has

438
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: that other cities don't have is a feeling of pride

439
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: and family. I listen to podcasts all the time. I

440
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: listen to people talking They're like, man, get me the

441
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: hell out of La, or I wish I didn't have

442
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: to be here, but I have to be here for

443
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: my job. Like people come to come to Nashville and

444
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: it's like you want to be here, and it's and

445
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: it's like I just think.

446
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 4: We help each other. Yeah, and it really it's a

447
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 4: foreign concept, even to the NFL staffers. They were going,

448
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 4: y'all are just different. I said, look, you know, we're

504
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,520

558
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,720

Speaker 4: It's three o'clock in the afternoon. I get a beer,

571
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,840

572
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 4: he's looking around and Tutsi's was just one level back then, yeah,

573
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 4: and he goes, we can't do this, this is real.

574
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: That's it.

575
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 4: Thank you. Don't do what we do. Do what you do.

577
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 4: the country and you'll do well. It's still one of

578
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 4: the top performing hard rocks in their system. And when

579
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 4: they opened, if you've ever been in one, and like

580
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 4: I said, there weren't very many on the back of

581
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 4: the menu New York, London. They put Nashville on the

582
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 4: back of every menu nationwide, and of course now there's

583
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 4: too many of them now it's not cool, and yeah,

584
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 4: it's just a less than ten in the world. It

585
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 4: was a stamp that's a Nashville does music.

586
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: Would you say? Would you say that was like the

587
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: start of how National started to progress into what it is.

588
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 4: You know, I never thought about it, but yeah.

589
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: When when did they? When did they come?

590
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 4: In ninety four, I was three.

591
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 3: I remember going to the Memphis one because Memphis has

592
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: a hard rocks all the Elvis Presley theme stuff.

593
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: That was really cool.

594
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 3: I was like nine years old too, so that was

595
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 3: probably back when the hard rock was a little cooler

596
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 3: than what it is now.

597
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 4: But it had an edge to it. The grand opening

618
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: when you go down Broadway, take a left on Second

619
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: and then you got that Johnny Cash Museum where you

620
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: go to a right, there's like a little like a

621
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: little jazz bar hanging out or stuff like that. There's

622
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: so much more to do then that was on Broadway.

623
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,640

00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Midtown's right right down.

628
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,000

664
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 4: buddy in Houston. This is one of those This is

665
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 4: part of the story I normally leave out. They said,

666
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 4: would Nashville be interested in talking to it? An NFL

667
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:48,080

Speaker 4: these this team tried to reach out and they talked

669
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 4: to some people in Nashville and they were told no.

670
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,120

671
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 4: talked to, but bullshit. So for three or four months,

672
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 4: back and forth, one day they call and go, I'm

673
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,000

722
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: with the boys. You get at least one of these

723
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: every single time you're on the cast.

724
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 4: Baby, that's the offensive line of the thing.

725
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: That's just moving down the tracks. Baby, that that four,

726

728
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: me so fired up. Half my teammates like this is stupid.

729
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: They don't like country music, but they don't know about

730
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: the man in black.

731
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 3: Baby, So I would prefer God's gonna cut you down

732
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 3: with Johnny Cash.

733
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: Did you hear me? Yeah, we'll talk about I gotta

734
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 1: get to that a little bit.

735
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 4: It was a pretty cool moment. I bet I owe

736
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 4: Marty Stewart for that.

737
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: That is pretty damn alright. So so you fly to

738
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: a hair and so he and your boy here is like,

739
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,479
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I'm not I'm not doing this. Yeah.

740
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 4: Uh And we left and they went they're playing us, No,

741
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 4: they're not. So I had to come back.

742
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: And why did he think that they were playing.

743
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 4: You to get a better deal out of Houston? They said,

744
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 4: they're not serious. Yeah, we should talk, and it was

745
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 4: you know, at that point, my career was way bigger

746
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 4: than any influence I had, So I had to keep

747
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 4: it alive. My main role was don't walk away from this.

748
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: What do you lose?

749
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 4: What? Yeah, so you go meet with Bud Adams. What

750
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 4: as long as you're not spending any money? What what

751
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 4: difference does it make? So I convinced them to me.

752
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 4: Then it took a life of it.

753
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 3: And that's all your concept of not fearing failure, that's

754
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 3: what you're talking about, And.

755
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 4: That's the worst case. I'm going to make a friend

756
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna learn something. Yeah, that's kind of if

757
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 4: you're not getting in my wallet.

758
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk, no doubt. But I think I think

759
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: that's one thing that's important for anybody who's listening to

760
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 1: and they want to be successful is everybody has ideas,

761
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: everything has things they want to do, but everyone's afraid

762
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: to fail. There's always that fear of well, what if

763
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out, no question, But if if it

764
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: doesn't work out, then you lose nothing. And it doesn't

765
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: matter what age you're at. If you if you decide

766
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: to go do something, go do it and you do.

767
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 1: Everyone like I've failed a hundred times, I've given up sacks,

768
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: I've had shitty games, I've they're there I've got hurt,

769
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: I've done all those things.

770
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 4: You're holding penalties alone, perfect, It wasn't as much holding

771
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 4: as it worst personal fouls.

772
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: But I killed some games. You killed some games. And

773
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: this day and age journalism all that everyone's list, everyone's

774
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: got Twitter, and that you're gonna get put to the cross. Dude,

775
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna get destroyed with those types of things. And

776
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: that's that's in a smaller scale than the things that

777
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: you're even doing. You're trying to take it, franchise people

778
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: families and move them not across the country but states away,

779
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: and and and turn a city into something that was

780
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: really I don't know, and ruins like it really wasn't

781
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: it very much with the Nashville. Nashville was you know,

782
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 1: you know Cooksville, you know Cookville. It was Cave Creek, Arizona.

783
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Cave Creeks where I'm from.

784
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: But that they there's one strip that goes down it.

785
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: Everyone's pretty happy with what's going on. We're not building

786
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: any any things. There ain't no large attractions coming to

787
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: camp Hollywood. Got none of that about table. We do

788
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: have a lot of heart baby there.

789
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 2: And yeah, you're you're talking about the scale he's on.

790
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 3: But it's still the fundamental, the fundamental thoughts of just

791
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 3: what's the worst.

792
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 2: They can have?

793
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: Failures inevitable, no question.

794
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 4: Hm. Visual we use at my office, and it's ten

795
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 4: years now. Hotels came to us and said, do for

796
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 4: and we'll get to do for New Year's Eve what

797
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 4: you did for July fourth. And I'm like, what, God,

798
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 4: now we're dead on New Year's Eve? Why you create

799
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 4: something I don't know anything about New Year's Eve? July

800
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 4: fourth already existed when we took it over. We just

801
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 4: put it on steroids. So today, if I showed you

802
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 4: the picture of the stage from the first New Year's

803
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 4: Eve event, you would die laughing. I would fire myself.

804
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: See if you can find that picture.

805
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 4: I may have it on my phone.

806
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: I will look if you had this little monitor up here,

807
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: it might be on the.

808
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 4: Thrown up But it's this little dinky stage. I couldn't

809
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 4: get anybody to play. I couldn't get the media to

810
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 4: buy it. It's cold, nobody will come. What what are

811
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 4: we doing? I go, what's cold in New York? But

812
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 4: to your point about both your points about failure or

813
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 4: t we went back then New York's the gold standard.

814
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 4: We're not. I don't want to know what Atlanta does.

815
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 4: I don't want to know what New Orleans does. New

816
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 4: York is what we're going to chase. Last year, two

817
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 4: hundred thousand people watching New Year's Eve NBC and C

818
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 4: and in here. It took ten years, but we have

819
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 4: a pretty credible event. We could have quit after year one,

820
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 4: fifteen thousand people.

821
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 3: You're pribacing there looking at like, oh man, this is embarrassing.

822
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 4: Oh my god. Definitely you're looking back on the first

823
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 4: year we dropped the guitar and I got blanked, got stuck.

824
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 4: It didn't really get stuck. The operator was drunk, mister

825
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 4: Q and it was midnight and we told him just stop.

826
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 4: But and it got stuck the second year, so I

827
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,959
Speaker 4: ate crow. I had to do them May of Copa

828
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 4: and you're standing up in front of five TV cameras

829
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 4: and people are just grilling you. Finally went, look, anybody

830
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 4: wants their money back, I'll rEFInd freedom.

831
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got nobody.

832
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 4: I have embarrassed myself, my family, our city. I get it. Okay,

833
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 4: didn't do it on purpose, but we also didn't quit.

834
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that the music no pun intended, went back

835
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 3: to the board, went back to the meeting, and you're

836
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 3: still preaching the same gold standard regardless of what.

837
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 4: It was, and you know it works. Yeah, stick with

838
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 4: it and learn from your mistakes.

839
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 2: When was that New Year's event? When was that New

840
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 2: Year's Eve?

841
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,959
Speaker 4: The first one? What I did?

842
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: Fifteen It would have been oh way, oh wait baby,

843
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: what that's that early? Huh? I thought i'd have been

844
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: sooner than that.

845
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I would have thought too. By that time,

846
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 2: July fourth.

847
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 4: We've been doing for fifteen years. But it was, like

848
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 4: I said, it was going right.

849
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 2: It was just made it a better and it.

850
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,799

00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 4: there's nothing now, it's sixty five thousand shells.

855
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: Over thirty that's amazing. That's awesome. Yeah. What does that cost?

856
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 8: He said, Oh, can't talk about the event itself.

857
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 4: Concert screens, fireworks two million to put it on. But

858
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 4: we can sell twenty thousand hotel rooms. Yeah, twenty million

859
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 4: is spent. Uh, and we get international pr out of it.

860
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: Solid return on investment there.

861
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, talk about the adversity.

862
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we got we had it. We were selling

863
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,200

Speaker 1: coming or fourth of July is pretty cool there, you know,

870
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 1: but they don't get to see like how this whole

871
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: thing gets done.

872
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,479
Speaker 2: No, and the behind the scenes.

873
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 4: The sausage.

874
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the meat, baby.

875
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 2: The meat. That's one way to say that.

876
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: Our boys, our boys here always send us notes. They

877
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: said something about downtown tornadoes in the late nineties. What's

878
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 1: that about?

879
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 4: So I can tell you it was ninety eight, the

880
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 4: stadium was under construction. Yeah, the tornado blew through downtown.

881
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 4: It was the same year the theme park closed, and

882
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 4: uh the seventeen year cicadas came out. So we got

883
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 4: our asses kicked business wise, mainly because of the theme park.

884
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 4: But our slogan was cicadas, tornadoes and theme parks. Oh my,

885
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 4: and uh it it did some serious damage.

886
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, across the board, no doubt.

887
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 4: Somebody died at Centennia Park a tree, I got a person.

888
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 4: It was a pretty devastating outing, and but it gave

889
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 4: us a chance to rebuild. Knocked over a crane in

890
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 4: those where the stadium was being what's.

891
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 3: The process of coming back from something like that, Like

892
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 3: when you go into those next days, those next meetings,

893
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 3: those next like ideas that you.

894
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:14,240
Speaker 4: Have to controlling the pr spent and the media runs wild,

895
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 4: like one of one of our employees family was in Europe,

896
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 4: and in Europe the arena had collapsed and so they

897
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 4: were panting. Family was worried with staff over there. So

898
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 4: was that you just get they run rampant with misinformation

899
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 4: right now you're trying to undo it. The flood would

900
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 4: probably get to that in twenty ten. Yeah, was way

901
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 4: worse than the tornado. But you just have to say

902
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 4: we're okay, you know this and this is all. Yeah,

903
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 4: we have some damage, but we're gonna build our way

904
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 4: out of it, build your way out of it.

905
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome, and that's len nineties.

906
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to get opportunity build out of it.

907
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's that part, like the two thousands, is

908
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 3: when some stuff's coming together, like you have the late naties.

909
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 3: You bring the team in, you're doing all these things.

910
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 3: The tornado hits, you're kind of rebuilding. Was that two

911
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 3: thousand stretch kind of.

912
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, ninety we got our asses kicked. We were

913
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 4: coming out of it in one and nine to.

914
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 2: Eleven hit right.

915
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 4: Yes, my friends all said you should go ahead and leave.

916
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 4: Change jobs. No theme park, oppery Land was building hotels

917
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 4: around the country, so yeah, more competition, and the word

918
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 4: was nobody will travel for music, So why the hell

919
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:35,680

Speaker 4: I like a good fight. I want to stay butcher slat. Yeah.

922
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,960

923
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 4: this town like everybody, but on top of them, Yeah,

924
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 4: we got the flood. So you're trying to weather significant

925
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 4: recession and you get hit with a thousand year of flood.

926
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 4: So you're just getting everything like bring it. Yeah, but

927
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 4: you know it's that don't back down, stick to your guns.

928
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 4: You gotta work a little harder. You know, we're there,

929
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 4: and there were like five hundred of my peers around

930
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 4: the world. I don't know of any that didn't lay

931
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 4: people off during the recession. We didn't lay anybody off.

932
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 4: We broke ground on the convention center, and we actually

933
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 4: added people, really tightened our belts. We spent less, but

934
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 4: we built up. When the recession ended, we were stronger

935
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:36,439
Speaker 4: than Ball.

936
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

937
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 5: I've got a I've got a question, so Zach, for

938
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 5: when when the floods hit in twenty ten, like and

939
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 5: when the when it Nashville had flooded. I guess what

940
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 5: was kind of your thought press process of when the

941
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,760
Speaker 5: floodwaters receded, like how you were going to go about things?

942
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 4: Great question. Let me back up, but I'm a buffet fan,

943
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 4: buff of both the arena that Saturday.

944
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 2: Oh wait, wait, we're not talking warm buffets, sorry, Jimmy,

945
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 2: We're talk about Jimmy buffeting, Warren Buffett. I thought we were.

946
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: I have a Warren Buffet, the whole buffet, Chinese buffets,

947
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: Warren buff Jimmy buffetsfet.

948
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 4: It's raining like hell on Saturday, and the mayor calls

949
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 4: and he goes, are we okay for the concert? Should

950
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 4: we cancel? I go? Let me call you back. So

951
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 4: I checked around. People were downtown arena with staff, hotels

952
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 4: were full. Mayor, I think you create a bigger problem

953
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 4: if you cancel, because people are just gonna be angry.

954
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 4: They're already drinking. That's control.

955
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: I'd be a riot.

956
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 4: So he said, can the police chief and I address

957
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 4: the crowd. You're the mayor, you do whatever you want.

958
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 4: But I got it set up for him. They did that.

959
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 4: Nobody was paying attention but the mayor. It was the

960
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 4: right thing to do. So they warned everybody, when you

961
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 4: go home tonight, it's likely to be different. Well it was.

962
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 4: The people got home the next day, all all help

963
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 4: pro clues. So to the point of that question, first thing,

964
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 4: you go literally, you your stomach's in your throat, and

965
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 4: you're looking at these pictures and you're seeing trucks flip

966
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 4: down the interstate or I watched a portable school building

967
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 4: slide off an embankment onto the interstate, and it's like,

968
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 4: we're in trouble, Like this is this is not a drill.

969
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know if we're going to be all right.

970
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 4: Boys, So you start assessing. Going back to that media thing,

971
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 4: you make sure you know everything accurately. You know what's damaged,

972
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 4: what's closed, what's okay, you know what resources do we have. Well,

973
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 4: our office was without power for about a week. I

974
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 4: got I got ill make y'all laugh with that. So

975
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 4: first thing in our office, we rallied the troops, brought

976
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 4: in a generator, and we're like, we're not gonna be

977
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 4: judged by what we do. We're gonna be judged by

978
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 4: what we don't do. So we flipped the script on

979
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 4: that doesn't matter what we do. People gonna be why

980
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 4: didn't you do that? So it's like we can't leave

981
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 4: anything to chance. But we, Uh, everybody worked remote. Our

982
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 4: PR person was stuck at her house. She had power,

983
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 4: which good to leave. She was flooded, so she was

984
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 4: locked down. Uh, so she's working remote. We borrowed on

985
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 4: office from GAC Great American Country at the time. We

986
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 4: put some people there. We borrowed an office from the

987
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 4: convention center. But I first thing we do. Our computers

988
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 4: are running, but the rooms getting really hot because we're

989
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 4: got no power. So I'm like, we got fixes. So

990
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 4: I sent one guy out to buy dry ice and

991
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 4: fans and said, I we're going to get a generator.

992
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,879
Speaker 4: So I called Ferguson Kitchen bath lighting think that they

993
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 4: sell plumbing fisure, and I said, I need a GD

994
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 4: extension cord, like I need a hundred and they maybe

995
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 4: one hundred and eighty feet, so our parking garage had

996
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 4: power and there was an underground way to get to

997
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 4: and I finally had to put two electricians on the

998
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:36,959
Speaker 4: phone because I don't know what that I'm talking about,

999
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 4: but I need power. So I ran this one hundred

1000
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 4: and sixty foot extension cord from our parking garage to

1001
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 4: our computer server room and we're able to power fans.

1002
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 4: And then we put coolers of dry ice and opened

1003
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 4: up those bags so it brought the temperature down to

1004
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 4: write below the computers, but shut off so we could function.

1005
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 4: So the first thing was how do we communicate? Because

1006
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,760
Speaker 4: if that goes really screwed.

1007
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 2: Holy shit.

1008
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 4: So yeah, my pride and joy was thinking of dry

1009
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,720
Speaker 4: ice and a homemade extension course.

1010
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 2: Up there.

1011
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 4: You know, when you run something over one hundred feet,

1012
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 4: you know, power just diminishes. So the cable's got to

1013
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 4: be massive. But that's over my head. I don't speak

1014
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 4: electricity or engineering. I could just think of ideas and

1015
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 4: find the people to uh to do it, and then

1016
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 4: I'll leave up finished with this story. I get a

1017
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 4: call from the Hilton and he goes, can you come

1018
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 4: down here? And they're flooded and the arena's flooded, and

1019
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 4: the symphonies flooded, and the Country Music Hall of Famous flooded,

1020
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 4: and there's a giant hole where the new Convention Center

1021
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 4: is and it's flooded. Every single one of those are

1022
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 4: pumping water. And the guy from the Hilton his credit, goes,

1023
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 4: come here and take a look, and so I go

1024
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 4: down there with him. I think we went up on

1025
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 4: the roof and you watch everybody pump water into each other,

1026
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 4: and he goes, can you help? And I quickly realized

1027
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 4: what he was saying. Nobody's doing. They'll be doing this

1028
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 4: for the next six years. So we call the convention

1029
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 4: Center and said, I need you to turn off your pumps.

1030
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 4: You have a three story hole in the ground, and

1031
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 4: if we can send the water there, we got a shot.

1032
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 4: Of course, first thing there, a contractor goes, we're on

1033
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 4: a deadline. If we don't finish in three years, we

1034
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 4: got penalties. So I'll take care of that. I'll figure

1035
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 4: that out for you. I'm making that up. No, and

1036
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 4: then they agreed and they turned their pumps off, so

1037
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 4: now we have place to send water. I think it

1038
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 4: was down to that kind of it looked like the

1039
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:54,879
Speaker 4: Keystone cops out there. We're all pumping water each other

1040
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:55,720
Speaker 4: and panicing.

1041
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 1: That's crazy.

1042
00:52:59,000 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 2: It's nuts.

1043
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: Never even this is the actual first time I've ever

1044
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: heard of this this. Yeah, it's two and ten, right, Yeah,

1045
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: guy was here until fourteen.

1046
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 2: It was bad.

1047
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,760
Speaker 9: It rained for what three days straight?

1048
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got and you got to be sitting there

1049
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: on the third day, like, fuck, man, is this thing

1050
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: ever gonna stop? Flooded?

1051
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 9: The flooded Opry Mills, Opera Mills was completely underwater.

1052
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 4: Opera Land Hotel had four feet of water in it.

1053
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 4: The Grand o Opery House had more.

1054
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: Than historical because of this of significant historical.

1055
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 4: Some photographs and stuff like that. No buildings or anything

1056
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 4: like that.

1057
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:39,720
Speaker 1: Nothing was unsalvageable.

1058
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 4: But that was crazy and everybody was panicking. But we

1059
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,720
Speaker 4: went to work. Yeah, Carl Dene was mayor. To his credit,

1060
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 4: he goes. I get a text from him two days in.

1061
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 4: He goes, what do we need to do to help

1062
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 4: your industry? And our industry was dead? And I set

1063
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 4: him my list of about ten things. I know he

1064
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 4: didn't think. I'm literally we're texting, Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll

1065
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 4: do all of it.

1066
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 1: He was all over It sounds like it sounds like

1067
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: National has had a good string.

1068
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,280
Speaker 4: Of mayors and everybody came together. Everybody worked together. Natural

1069
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 4: strength is in that. Yeah, political leadership, good business leadership.

1070
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: And then we need we need business leadership. On traffic.

1071
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 3: Now, we got to fix traffic to hide those highways

1072
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 3: and stuff. But the next year, so after the flood happens,

1073
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,919
Speaker 3: you know, you we start to recover from that. That's

1074
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:32,240
Speaker 3: when you build what is it, the Music City Center.

1075
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,280
Speaker 4: It was under construction. It opened in thirteen.

1076
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 2: And that was under scrutiny. Correct.

1077
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 4: Oh, I got my ass kicked all into this county. Yeah,

1078
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 4: you want to do what It's a disaster. Nobody open Nashville.

1079
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 4: National is not a destination. Nobody will come. Conventions are dying,

1080
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 4: and the city will have to bail this thing out.

1081
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 4: Let me describe, let me answer those National is not

1082
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 4: a destination. We've been named the top destination in the

1083
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 4: world for six years in a row by Lonely Planet,

1084
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 4: Traveling Leisure Conde ass.

1085
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,919
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, Nashville's a spot now mixed uff.

1086
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 4: We're the seventh busiest convention destination in the US. There's

1087
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 4: over one hundred million dollars in reserve for the convention

1088
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 4: Center's funding and all that development around. So you can't

1089
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 4: find the critics today, but they kicked my ass for

1090
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 4: two solid years.

1091
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 3: You had like a five year vision and people will

1092
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,280
Speaker 3: talk about from like what from twenty eleven to fifteen

1093
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 3: or sixteen.

1094
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, here's what we're going to do. It's another great story.

1095
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 4: I took Carl Dean so it wasn't really wasn't approved yet,

1096
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 4: and I said, look, we can sell it ahead of time.

1097
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 4: We can sell it before it opened. We can get business.

1098
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 4: So we flew down to Orlando and pitched the Academy

1099
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 4: of General Dentistry. It was Nashville or Toronto, think about

1100
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 4: in two thousand and two. Didn't tell the mayor who

1101
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 4: we were bidden against, because I knew he wouldn't understand Toronto.

1102
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 4: It might scare him. So we went and Steve Turner,

1103
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 4: one of the best Nashvilleians, philanthropist, just great guy, developed

1104
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 4: the Gulch, led that he wanted to come see. He's

1105
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 4: with us.

1106
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: The Gulch was nothing before that.

1107
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 4: You bought the land and turned that.

1108
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 1: Into that place is a destination.

1109
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 4: Though, he says, we get on a plane to come back,

1110
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 4: he goes, thanks for letting me come. It was really

1111
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 4: and we booked this piece of business. Remember what I'm saying.

1112
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 4: I showed a picture of an aerial footprint with a

1113
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 4: white square where this building would be if it was approved,

1114
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 4: and he goes, it was pretty cool watching y'all sell

1115
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,439
Speaker 4: a building that doesn't exist on land you don't own

1116
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 4: without a design. I mean, we didn't have a picture

1117
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 4: of what it might look like. We're down there selling.

1118
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 4: So the Dennis booked us, and then I said, mare,

1119
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 4: give me the key used to the car. Let me

1120
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 4: go sell this thing. Let me wheel and deal a

1121
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:12,399
Speaker 4: little bit. I'll have to kill.

1122
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: Let me butch slap these focus man.

1123
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 2: We put a billion on this tea real quick, give

1124
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 2: me the keys pace. Butcher slapped tea.

1125
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: Butch slapped they put this t on.

1126
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 4: If y'all weren't crazy, I wouldn't talk about some of

1127
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 4: this stuff.

1128
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 2: But y'all are crazy.

1129
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, no one's gonna believe it. But it's your words, dude.

1130
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 3: But the yeah, the five year thing that's kind of

1131
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, is that your medium scale stuff that you

1132
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 3: refer to, because obviously seventeen has been the biggest because

1133
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 3: you were bringing.

1134
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 2: Some events and certain things here.

1135
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 4: Seventeen took it to another level and because of the

1136
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 4: watch parties, right, we entered a consciousness globally goes Hockey

1137
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 4: in the South fifty thousand people in the street watching TV.

1138
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, hockey in the South, that whole concept in general,

1139
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: you're just like, yo, I'm like, like the Minnesota north

1140
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 1: Stars or whatever they are, that's a hockey stage. They're trash,

1141
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 1: they're bad and then the Predators they're bad ass. I

1142
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: wish I could say we'd they're badass many Hey. I

1143
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:24,560

Speaker 1: I told we heard and I were talking a little bit.

1145
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: We're talking about the Predators do and She's like, we

1146
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: need to get some of that stuff going like that.

1147
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: The interaction all like all that. It's hockey culture in

1148
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: generals is awesome. It's like way more close and you're

1149
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: in an arena. Everyone's packed in together and there's smaller crowds,

1150
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: but it's way it's.

1151
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 4: Amplified seventeen thousand capacity. Yeah, it'd be a pretty rapid crowd.

1152
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt.

1153
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true too. How much of it depends on

1154
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 2: the performance of these.

1155
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 4: I think I was at that first season in nineteen

1156
00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 4: ninety nine.

1157
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was nuts.

1158
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 4: It was more fun. I went to every playoff game.

1159
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 4: I consume more jack and coke than I knew. It

1160
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 4: was human, like, let's go. Yeah, I had two cheers

1161

1162
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 4: yelled at so you couldn't understand it. But when we

01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 2: All the time.

1206
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 1: It's like they call it the game for a reason.

1207
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: But I kind of like, as much as I hated

1208
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: it because I played for Michigan, I kind of dig

1209
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,440

Speaker 4: Man.

Speaker 1: People people talk all the time.

Speaker 3: People want fan base, butcher once. It's like Nebraska. They're

01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 3: you played there. People say it's weird. You're staying in

1235
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,480

1237
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 1: The thing is, but that's kind of like a mental thing,

01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: like you shart walking through. I'm gonna have to fucking

1239

Speaker 2: I hope you safe.

1242
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: I guess, okay, maybe I won't kill him, but I'm

1243
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: gonna try to hurt him.

1244
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 4: I get. I don't know, you're like trying to jogging

1245
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 4: out there. But I spent six years in Broode Yeah,

1246
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 4: bat a lot of night games and Tiger Tiger.

1247
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: I dated a girl, A dated girl from Baton Rouge.

1248
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: She went to l s U and I saw I

1249
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 1: was down there whole bunch. That stadium is awesome. It's loud,

1250
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: it's I've never been to a game. But like what

1251
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 1: I've heard, it's incredible they have they have open container

1252
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: law there too. Like in Louisiana, you can go through

1253
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: a drive through and get you can get decorators. Be open. No,

1254
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: as long as the uh, that little paper of the

1255
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 1: straw is on it. If you get pulled over, baby

1256
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: and the cops like, hey, what's in that? Oh there's

1257
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 1: a there's a piece of a straw. It didn't hit it, okay,

1258
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 1: it's it did did you open it? You promise? Okay,

1259
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 1: I get it because the pieces of the straws there,

1260
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: and that's I think you.

1261
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 2: Can pour a little out right here, so you can

1262
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 2: make one.

1263
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 4: Before they tightened up and they renovated obviously with security.

1264
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 4: But pre I'll say not eleven. I had a buddy

1265
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 4: that would like grill out. Let's say they're grilling stakes

1266
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 4: for a game at Tiger Stadium. Well then he he

1267
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 4: had ten tickets, thirteen people, so he would bring three

1268
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 4: extra stakes, hand them to the ticket usher. Huh, and

1269
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 4: all thirteen would go in. So no, tell him what

1270
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 4: the real attendance number.

1271
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, mars pissed.

1272
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, but they just snuck people in all day

1273
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 4: long and there were benches, bleachers, so you could cram in.

1274
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 4: Now it's more seating and tighter control. But they're crazy good,

1275
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 4: crazy good crazy.

1276
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: I kind of dig that. I dig I dig lsu.

1277
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 1: I think that's a I never offered by any SEC schools,

1278
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 1: but if I could. Oh yeah, here's the video of

1279
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: Donald Penn. See this guy's filming them from behind and

1280
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: Donald's he's in the car. And I don't know if

1281
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: he had a good gamer bag game. I'm assuming if

1282
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: you have a good game and the guy's coming at you,

1283
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,600

01:04:59,880 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 3: like here we go about to get snatched.

1287
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,439
Speaker 1: You know, Donald Penn's a stud dude. He's been playing

1288
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: the league for a long time. He was undrafted.

1289
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 4: Guy, I don't want you to hit me.

1290

Speaker 4: Yeah?

1296
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: You want to do some of these dudes out here

1297
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: because pens. I mean, if this thing loads well enough,

1298
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: we have good wife. He comes out. Man, he's a

1299
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 1: big dude. He's way he's way bigger than me. Man,

1300
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 1: and he's got some power behind him too.

1301
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:37,880
Speaker 2: He would have killed this guy for sure.

1302
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1303
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 1: I got a lot of respect for this guy.

1304
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 4: Man.

1305
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 1: He's he was in Tampa forever, right, it was like

1306
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: Tampa for ten years and then he was at the Raiders.

1307
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 4: Spectree or yeah, I have no idea.

1308
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah he's he played Tampa for a little bit. But

1309
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: I will say, well, got to get back to that

1310
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: bringing the Titans over here. You you tried to whirl

1311
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 1: when you're trying to take us not down the road.

1312
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 1: But I'll be hold on, I gotta be right back.

1313
01:05:58,480 --> 01:05:59,439
Speaker 1: I gotta pee real back.

1314
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 2: Go ahead, But you know I'll talk.

1315
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 4: You don't have a bathroom on this point.

1316
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 9: Hey, But I think I think our listeners would probably

1317
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 9: be really mad if we didn't ask you the status

1318
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 9: on MLB and World Cup stuff too, the inside track.

1319
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 3: Well we can it's I we I would think I

1320
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 3: would be disappointed. I mean, you got such a good

1321
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 3: following for the sounds. It's like the city of Nashville

1322
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 3: would absolutely be obsessed with an MLB team, Like, is

1323
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 3: that even is that conversation even happening.

1324
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 4: The conversation is happening. So there's a local group. This

1325
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 4: guy's been very public. John Lower, I think he's done

1326
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 4: a great job. He has Dave Stewart and Tony Larus

1327
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:50,919
Speaker 4: and some other involved and the commissioner two years ago

1328
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 4: throughout Nashville as a past possible expansion city. I think

1329
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 4: it's not think it's a bit premature.

1330
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to take care of in my last first.

1331
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 4: The the league is not ready to talk expansion and

1332
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 4: they don't want to talk about moving until they deal

1333
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 4: with Oakland and Tampa Bay. Yeah, they have two weak franchise.

1334
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 3: But it kind of goes back to your your process

1335
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 3: of everything you've kind of done. You put the bug

1336
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 3: in people's ears and not you specific obviously your team

1337
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 3: or the city of Nashville.

1338
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 4: The thing I think and John, Laura and I talked about.

1339
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 2: It, Taylor's come back in the old bus Boys My Puppies.

1340
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 4: That was quick too. Does that mean something?

1341
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 1: I had a I had a not the biggest piece butch,

1342
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 1: but the hole is huge too. It's just it's like

1343
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: not the most small bucket, and I just you know, Okay,

1344
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 1: not the most.

1345
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 2: Impressive piece, but it performs.

1346
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, Zach's doing the notes over here.

1347
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 3: Hey Taylor, we're actually he's catching us up on the

1348
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 3: whispers of mlbts possibly expanding here in the like you

1349
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 3: know future.

1350
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 2: It's kind of premature right now.

1351
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:02,920
Speaker 1: So what it would happen to the sounds though without

1352
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 1: sounds would go away if that happened, right well, so

1353
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: would you use a sound stadium?

1354
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 4: And I'll never understand when we built it. We didn't

1355
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 4: build it to expand it. It's capped out. The thing

1356
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 4: that's key and airs and John Lord and I talked

1357
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 4: about it, so he not speaking out of school. But

1358
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 4: I'm also not up to speed as much as as

1359
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 4: he is. I think these kinds of things you got

1360
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 4: to keep quiet. You got to work it and work

1361
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 4: it and work it before you talk about it, to

1362
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 4: maintain some credibility, to get your ducks in a row,

1363
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 4: to not let anybody. There's gonna be other cities that

1364
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 4: want a team. You won't give anybody any advantage. So

1365
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:55,719
Speaker 4: I think we would be a legitimate contender. Expansions, according

1366
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 4: to the league, is at least five years away, but

1367
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 4: we should ready.

1368
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:05,640
Speaker 1: I think I think the National's proven that you're in

1369
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:09,559
Speaker 1: contention for whatever you want right now. I think truly

1370
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 1: Nationals truly put themselves in a position where whatever we

1371
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 1: want we could probably get first divest because Nashville does

1372
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 1: it well. I mean they're starting to the leader in

1373
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 1: arms and you're no. I think they've proved with the draft.

1374
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:24,639
Speaker 1: I think it's like, oh, they can handle themselves taken

1375
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 1: at five hundred thousand and have no problem. You said, you, well,

1376
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: we're capable. We can do one hundred thousand and maybe

1377
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 1: one fifty a day.

1378
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 3: And it's like he was talking, it'll be important to

1379
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 3: take care of the MLS team that comes in because

1380
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:38,879

1575
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:55,960
Speaker 3: of stuff. We can think of constant things. Dude, if

1576
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 3: this thing gets mobile.

1577
01:18:56,920 --> 01:19:00,720

1586
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 1: Jesus didn't say anything as cool as that. That was

1587
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 1: wicked man, That was right.

1588
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 5: Quick question for me.

1589
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, since we're on podcast, Go ahead, we're on.

1590
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:42,599
Speaker 5: Since we're on a NASCAR bus there we're on kind

1591
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:43,840
Speaker 5: of a Nascar.

1592
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:46,480
Speaker 1: Zach is a big Nascar.

1593
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,639
Speaker 5: If he didn't listen episode zero zero zero, big NASCAR fan.

1594
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 5: But what there's been some talk about NASCAR coming to Nashville.

1595
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 5: There's been some pros and cons to it. I know

1596
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 5: Nashville speed there, there's some rough spots with that. But

1597
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 5: but this might not even make the podcast, but kind

1598
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 5: of for what I want to know, what do you

1599
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 5: think of that?

1600
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 4: I think NASCAR would be stupid not to bring a

1601
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 4: race back to this market. I think they abandon their

1602
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:21,759
Speaker 4: core audience in the South as they started doing Vegas,

1603
01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 4: in Dallas and wherever. To their credit, I think they

1604
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 4: recognize that. So first thing they're gonna do is bring

1605
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 4: their awards. We here in December. We have it for

1606
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 4: two years. Going back to that chasing events, They're gonna

1607
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 4: bring cars. They're going to create a fan facing event

1608
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 4: which will help us build the momentum. But at the

1609
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,759
Speaker 4: end of the day, there's an issue over how close

1610
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 4: one of the buildings being developed at the fairgrounds is

1611
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:57,760
Speaker 4: to the speedway. If they can get it moved a

1612
01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:01,720
Speaker 4: little bit, then I think a race is eminent. If

1613
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:03,920
Speaker 4: they can't get it. Then there's concern that the buildings

1614
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 4: too close to the track, And I don't understand how

1615
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:08,560
Speaker 4: if the building's not on the track, not going to

1616
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 4: be too close to the track. So I'm stupid in

1617
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:14,800
Speaker 4: that regard, but I do understand that that is the

1618
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 4: biggest issue right now.

1619
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:18,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, that would be crazy.

1620
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:21,600
Speaker 3: And Bristol Nascart when you bring the red nextport to

1621
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 3: the red neck city, which is where it's not ours.

1622
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:32,599
Speaker 1: Myself red neck man? Look at you just at first off,

1623
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 1: it's hot on this bus. How are you not sweating?

1624
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 4: He might be thinking about it.

1625
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 2: Man, that'd be awesome. And you said December, so that

1626
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 2: like first week.

1627
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 4: In December, you're actually I don't know when this will air.

1628
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 4: So I could say they're coming tomorrow to work on

1629
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 4: planning their awards week, huh. But when this airs, I

1630
01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 4: might have said they were just here.

1631
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they're either here or they're coming tomorrow.

1632
01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:58,320
Speaker 4: Yeah they were there, just here or they're coming tomorrow.

1633
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 2: That brings an event in December too. Like you just

1634
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:02,599
Speaker 2: think in Nashville.

1635
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:04,439
Speaker 3: You think of all these things that going throughout the

1636
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,360
Speaker 3: year in Nashville and it kind of gives you know,

1637
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 3: insight on what the next what the future looks like

1638
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:13,640
Speaker 3: for the city, because it's like, take, for instance, I'm

1639
01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:15,400
Speaker 3: in an uber right and you're sitting here talking, yeah,

1640
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 3: you know, people to kind of fill me in on

1641
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 3: the market, the industries and things, because it was my

1642
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 3: first year here and guys like, yeah, the city's just

1643
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:24,640
Speaker 3: exploded the last five years, and we don't know if

1644
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 3: we're in the we don't know we're in the seventh inning,

1645
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:28,320
Speaker 3: the third inning, the ninth inning, if we're on the

1646
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 3: back end like that. You bringing up NASCAR in a

1647
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:34,040
Speaker 3: December thing just makes me think, like, you know, the

1648
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:35,799
Speaker 3: future is bright for the city of Nashville.

1649
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 4: You know, I think we're in charge of that week

1650
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 4: in Nashville. Yeah, I predicted a slow down or a

1651
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 4: flat name for the last three years.

1652
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 2: That in that year you're saying like like, Okay, we

1653
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:50,200
Speaker 2: need to be prepared.

1654
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 4: We're gonna left off.

1655
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 2: Right, We're not gonna do But but then twenty seventeen happens.

Speaker 4: hotel market in the country over the last ten years.

01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 4: So we keep raising the bar. And my board, I

1668
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:34,360

1671
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 3: Well, you drive into the city and all you see

1672
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 3: is cranes in the city, like, oh you crazy stuff

1673
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 3: getting built out. But people like Taylor was talking about earlier,

1674
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 3: the track, like the traffic, the highway systems, and.

1675
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 1: That's definitely gonna that's gonna slow the growth of the

1676
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:54,160
Speaker 1: city down.

1677
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:59,040
Speaker 4: For pains or but they're better than the other pains.

1678
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, yeah, you would rather have I wish somebody

1679
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 1: would use the damn highway to get here, you know. Yeah,

1680
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:08,639
Speaker 1: there's that for sure. That yeah, that definitely that pains me. Man.

1681
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:11,360
Speaker 1: I hate driving this damn traffic. I can't stand it.

1682
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 4: You that's the luxury of being able to at least

1683
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:15,400
Speaker 4: time your travel.

1684
01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:18,800

1685
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:20,559

1686
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 1: on like five thirty.
