Mais um episódio que não conseguimos gravar ao vivo com vocês, mas isto esta com data para mudar. Semana que vem, se tudo der certo já voltamos a ordem normal das coisas. Nesta edição falamos mais dos playoffs. Estamos chegando nas finais de conferencia da NBA e nas semis da NBB. Bauru e Minas passaram com 3 a 0, dando pouca chance para SPFC e Vasco fazerem pelo menos um jogo nas séries. Enquanto isso, o Corinthians vem dificultando muito a vida do Flamengo, fazendo jogos parelhos e vencendo uma no rio. Já o Pinheiros conseguiu o mesmo contra o Franca, ganhando o segundo jogo por um ponto e trazendo a série de volta para São Paulo. Na NBA a principal notícia foi a contusão do Jayson Tatum do Celtics. Isso dificultou muito a vida do Celtics, que ainda assim, conseguiu ganhar um jogo sem seu principal jogador. Mas tem de se pensar como será a vida do Boston na próxima temporada, sendo que o Tatum só deve voltar depois do All Star Game, provavelmente. Enquanto isso, o Pacers passeou contra o Cavs e chega tranquilo a mais uma decisão. No Oeste, o Timberwolves não deu chance para um Golden State sem Curry, o principal jogador da franquia. Venceu por 4 a 1 e carimbou o passaporte para o final da conferência. Enquanto isso, o Nuggets forçou o jogo sete contra o OKC, melhor time da temporada regular. Será que Jokic consegue tirar mais um coelho da cartola e levar o time para a final? Falamos também da semana da LBF com vitórias surpreendentes e de muito mais. Então não perde tempo e aperta o play!

(00:00 - 4:11) It's Thursday! The Celtics stayed alive for another day! LBF drops some basketball knowledge bombs on us. (4:11 - 7:08) LBF eats Dog Food? She found a new health trend on Tik Tok it's not really dog food she eats. But the trend is chopping up everything super small and putting it all in one bowl. (7:08 - 12:26) Hobbies are great to have. However some raise red flags, we talk about some of our own red flags we ignored with partners. Model Trains, Comic Books, and Dollhouse are just a few. (12:26 - 21:08) Bob made a huge no no this morning. LBF just had her hair done and Bob didn't notice until 2 hours after the start of the show. Then said, "What's wrong with your hair" LBF didn't take it lightly! All this and more on the ROR Morning Show with Bob Bronson and LBF Podcast.

(00:00 - 2:46) It's Wednesday! But not just any Wednesday, it's Bob's BIRTHDAY! We have a small song for Bob on his special day! (2:46 - 5:41) This man has found the ultimate hack for Crocs fans. He took his dirty Crocs and cleaned them in his dishwasher! We think it's brilliant! (5:41 - 10:00) These are the 6 words Doctors the to hear. My wife told me to go. LBF agrees that rings true. But she's the worst in that situation. (10:00 - 14:34) Your spouse is costing you money. Well, LBF thinks so. They were in an Uber, and Dave decided he would tell the driver he was taking the wrong way, and Bob was seated at a restaurant in a bad section, and it cost him extra to move.

(00:00 - 3:15) It's Tuesday, the city is a bit sad this morning after the Celtics lost last night, we also talked about Jayson Tatum getting injured. (3:15 - 6:51) Is there such a thing as having too high of a body count. We discussed after finding out what the lifetime body count should be. Bob does have a number no higher than 20, LBF says it's like a scale I don't want to know. (6:51 - 11:40) What are you hiding on your phone. This came up because of the Karen trial. Would you be willing to surrender your phone to an investigator if asked. (11:40 - 14:07) Are you one of the few. Would you rather be ignored or trash talked behind their back. Bob and LBF would rather be ignored. All this and more on the ROR Morning Show with Bob Bronson and LBF Podcast. Find more great podcasts at bPodStudios.com…The Place To Be For Podcast Discovery.

(00:00 - 4:23) It's Monday! We talked about Mother's Day, and how we spent it. Bob ended up going to the Boston Pops. (4:23 - 7:49) LBF took to the road! She went on a secret getaway with the family to New York; Bob was impressed just because she's always an indoor cat. (7:49 - 11:55) Bob was in the city over the weekend and was hooked by a homemade soap maker. The problem was he started talking with the maker and then felt the need to buy her soaps out of guilt. (11:55 - 18:36) No gift, no flowers, no card! No problem says LBF. She spends her Mother's Day weekend in NYC with the Family. Bob thinks Dave got off the hook by not buying her anything at all, and she's ok with that. All this and more on the ROR Morning Show with Bob Bronson and LBF Podcast.

Este episódio não teve ao vivo. Não teve porque o skype fechou de vez e o que a microsoft deixou no lugar, mesmo com conta premium, não parece ser simples de usar ou ter todas as ferramentas disponíveis. Não encontramos como ativar o NDI e, menos ainda, como gravar o podcast através dele. Tivemos de usar o Zoom e novos problemas apareceram, mas o show tem de continuar. E tem de continuar ainda mais neste momento. Chegamos nas semis de conferência na NBA, nas quartas da NBA e no final four da Euro. E rapaz, tivemos grandes momentos e surpresas. Começando pela NBB, apenas dois times que estavam pior qualificados que seus adversários passaram: São Paulo e Corinthians. Mas as series mais apertadas e complicadas foram vencidas pelo Pinheiros, em cima do Unifacisa e pelo Bauru, em cima do Paulistano. Ambas no ultimo jogo, com Bauru precisando da prorrogação. Na Euro, menos surpresas, apesar da torcida. Os quatro melhores da temporada regular chegaram nas semis. O Fenerbahçe enfrenta o Panathinaikos e o Olympiacos pega o Monaco. Os dois jogos das semis são no dia 23 e o terceiro e quarto e a final são dia 25. Os jogos vão rolar em Dubai, por algum motivo. Na NBA, depois de duas series chegando no jogo sete no Oeste, com Golden State e Denver passando, o começo das semis de conferencia foram inesperados. No Leste, o Pacers ganhou os dois primeiros jogos do Cavs, ambos em Cleveland. Enquanto isso, o Celtics simplesmente derreteu em quadra, perdendo os dois jogos para o Knicks, mesmo depois de abrir 20 pontos nas duas partidas. No Oeste também tivemos surpresas, com o Denver ganhando no fim do jogo do OKC, em Oklahoma e o Warriors ganhando o primeiro jogo do Timberwolves, em Minnesota. O problema é que o Curry saiu contundido da partida e deve perder pelo menos 3 partidas. Será que GSW consegue manter o time vivo sem ele? Além disso tem a semana da LBF e os jogos da seleção feminina contra o Chicago Sky e Indiana Fever. Acendeu a luz de dúvida? Infelizmente não tivemos as perguntas e a participação da galera, mas o episódio ta bem dinâmico e com muito conteúdo, então vem com a gente e aperta o play

(00:00 - 3:33) It's Thursday! The city is in a bit of grumpy mood this morning after the Celtics lost again. (3:33 - 7:57) We found out today that Aaron still Hitchhikes, we're amazed that he would still do that. LBF did it once just to make it to a party back in the college days (7:57 - 12:39) It was all a dream or at least that's what LBF is saying. She had a dream the other night that a very attractive man offered her a drink and she went with the man. She hasn't told Dave yet either. (12:39 - 22:05) Cady our Boss is live from Vatican City, he's reporting on the Conclave Watch 2025. No pope yet, but he had some great stories about the Swiss guard. All this and more on the ROR Morning Show with Bob Bronson and LBF Podcast. Find more great podcasts at bPodStudios.com…The Place To Be For Podcast Discovery.

(00:00 - 4:14) It's Tuesday! We open with some MET Gala talk. Apparently, Bob had no idea what the MET Gala event was, LBF was shocked. Bob was impressed by some of the fashion. (4:14 - 7:48) LBF will never walk in the woods after we talked about a woman in Florida who stumbled across a mama black bear. The woman threw cookies at the bear, and she was able to get away. (7:48 - 13:01) LBF is now under fire from her family, she did something out of rage, and it's now backfired! She left a family group chat about her nephew's graduation party and now she can't get back in. (13:01 - 21:23) What is something you just started that has dramatically changed your life. LBF started lifting weights, Bob makes his own sourdough, and Aaron bought blackout curtains. All this and more on the ROR Morning Show with Bob Bronson and LBF Podcast.

(00:00 - 3:26) It's Monday! And it's Cinco De Mayo! We talk a little about what Cinco De Mayo actually is it's not Mexican independence day, it's to celebrate the victory of the war against the French at Puebla in 1862. (3:26 - 7:32) What's sexy now that 20 years ago would be unsexy. Well, the biggest one is thick eyebrows, Bob is happy about this seeing as his daughters end up with his bushy thick eyebrows. (7:32 - 13:07) This woman is absolutely a legend, this is also refreshing that no one got hurt, a woman got into a road rage incident and to end it all she pooped on the hood of the car. Bob is fastened by the ability this woman pooper can do that on demand. (13:07 - 16:48) Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart joins us in the studio, LBF has a bunch of great rapid-fire questions, it's also the 30th anniversary of Keith!

Estamos no final da primeira fase dos playoffs em três competições. Na NBB já temos os primeiros dois classificados para as quartas. Minas e Franca garantiram o 3 a 0 e passaram. No Franca fica claro que o crescimento no final da temporada regular veio pelo encaixe certo do time, que parece ter se encontrado em quadra. Quem parecia que faria o mesmo era o Flamengo que, depois de vencer a BCLA, chegou voando e atropelou o Caxias no primeiro jogo. O problema é que o Caxias venceu o segundo e fez o Flamengo suar sangue para vencer o terceiro. Com 2 a 1, a série volta para o Sul agora, com vantagem pro rubro-negro que, se ganhar, se classifica. Nas outras séries, temos o São Paulo que parece ter se encontrado depois de romper com o técnico Guerrinha. Ganhou bem as duas ultimas partidas da temporada regular e chegou nos playoffs ganhando as duas primeiras do Brasília e vendendo caro a derrota no terceiro jogo. Volta a jogar em casa agora em busca da última vitória para avançar para as quartas. As outras séries estão bem equilibradas também, com destaque especial para Pinheiros e Unifacisa que vai até o último jogo para decidir. Na Euro, os primeiros a darem tchau para a competição foram o sétimo e oitavos colocados. Seria esperado se eles não fossem o Paris, que chegou a liderar em um ponto da temporada regular e o Real Madrid, que foi vice na última e campeão na penúltima. Mas a sequencia de Fenerbahçe e, especialmente, Olympiacos foram incríveis e deixaram pouca chance para uma reviravolta. Enquanto isso, as outras duas séries estão bem mais complicadas e podem ir para qualquer um dos lados. Já na NBA, temos o leste praticamente resolvido, com Pacers, Celtics e Cavs já classificados para as semis de conferência, enquanto o Pistons ta na luta com o Knicks para tentar avançar. Apesar da vantagem do Knicks que pode fechar no jogo seis, a série tem uma diferença de apenas 5 pontos. No Oeste temos duas séries mais complicadas. Rockets e GSW pareciam se encaminhar para um 4 a 1 para o time da California, mas o Houston parece ter entendido como anular tanto o Jimmy, quanto o Curry. O quinto jogo foi o passeio para os Rockets e a série volta para San Francisco. Nuggets e Clippers também vai ser no detalhe. No último jogo Jamal Murray deu sinais de vida e e jogou muito, mas tem sido uma série de altos e baixos de cada time, não da para saber o que esperar e não da para desconsiderar qualquer um dos dois times que passar. Enquanto isso, OKC ganhou bem de Memphis, que lutou mais do que parecia depois do atropelo do primeiro jogo, e já esta nas semis. Quem se juntou a ele foi o Timberwolves que venceu com alguma tranquilidade do Lakers de Doncic e LeBron. Do lado feminino, a LBF continua com temporada regular e as três primeiras equipes são as que parecem que vão dominar mesmo o campeonato. Corinthians, Araraquara e Sampaio parecem sobrar no campeonato, mas duas destas equipes vão precisar de uma parada de uma semana pelo menos, já que a seleção brasileira vai enfrentar dois times da WNBA neste final de semana. O Brasil joga contra o Chicago Sky da nossa Kamilla e também com o Indiana Fever, da nossa Damiris. Vão ser bons testes para algumas meninas que a gente mal viu jogar por aqui. Falamos de tudo isso e muito mais. Episódio longo, então precisa soltar o play logo e vir com a gente!!!

(00:00 - 3:57) It's FRIDAY! We talked about the Derby, Bob and LBF have been there. LBF stayed in Phil Sims childhood home. We also think it's one and done of a trip. (3:57 - 8:38) We've found the dumbest person on the planet; a man had his car stolen then when he was looking for a new car, he found one that was exactly the same he paid 26K for it only to find out it was his stolen car. (8:38 - 13:33) This is the hero we all needed! A man tried to start a pay it backwards chain at Dunkin, but the person behind him said hell no she's not paying. The takeaway says LBF is "pay for your own damn stuff" (13:33 - 19:55) The Derby is this weekend. To celebrate we wanted to name our own horses, LBF has Mane-dy Get Your Gun, Aaron has Baked Lighting, Bob has Main-e-Vent. All this and more on the ROR Morning Show with Bob Bronson and LBF Podcast.

(00:00 - 3:36) It's THURSDAY! This weekend is the Walk for Hunger; we talk about how the need for food assistance is greater than ever! Come out and see us live broadcast this Sunday 8a-12n. (3:36 - 8:06) Would you rather be a witness or a juror on the Karen Reed trial. LBF thinks it's a bum deal for either side, it completely ruins your summer plans if this drags out. (8:06 - 13:32) The worst thing in the world is being asked by a friend to help them move. A co-worker is moving and Bob volunteered to help her which LBF thought was a stupid move. Turns out is a split country 50 percent say they would help 50 percent say hell no. (13:32 - 19:21) A mailman is going viral for returning 10 bucks to a customer after he found it in the driveway. Bob says he'd do the same thing. LBF on the other hand would keep it but buy someone else something. All this and more on the ROR Morning Show with Bob Bronson and LBF Podcast.

(00:00 - 2:29) It's Wednesday! It's National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day! We talked about the pets we have had over the years. LBF had 3 cats and 2 dogs. Cat's names Fresca, Ring Ding, Cat and Kitty. And the dogs Molly, and Poor Dead Norman. (2:29 - 6:31) You'd think you'd want to tell your origin story of when you met. Well not Jordon Hudson, LBF thinks they might have met in a very odd way! (6:31 - 11:04) A few teens in Needham are going viral thanks to a rejection cake. The girls stuck flags of the colleges they got rejected from on a cake. This trend has got over 5 million views. We think they should have rejection cakes for everything! (11:04 - 16:19) Don't have a Real ID yet. The clock is ticking, LBF isn't worried one bit, she even says that she won't get one until it all dies down. All this and more on the ROR Morning Show with Bob Bronson and LBF Podcast.

(00:00 - 3:50) It's Tuesday! Bob informs us he feels naked today because he forgot his watch, he also can't enjoy the nice weather today because he has a doctor's appointment. (3:50 - 6:56) Do you still have bad habits? Well, if you don't quit by the age of 36 then you could be doomed. Bob and LBF, said they have zero regrets, well...LBF said maybe she could have done a few more sit-ups in her twenties. (6:56 - 13:48) Guy's if you're planning on a date this weekend make sure you listen. We have a few signs you should be looking for. Even though LBF says every sign means absolutely nothing.

(00:00 - 2:05) It's Monday! Bob went to the movies this weekend, he saw the Warfare, if you want the review check out our Instagram page BobandLBF. (2:05 - 6:26) Bob is maturing! He refrained from telling a woman friend that she has a massive chin hair. LBF says the only way you can tell a person is if you have your wife do it. Also, LBF says every woman has tweezers in their car for the perfect ray of sunlight. (6:26 - 11:29) Bill Belichick had one of the most awkward CBS Sunday Morning Interview. His girlfriend Jordon stole the show by interrupting the interview, LBF thinks he's loving being dominated! (11:29 - 17:43) We're all fake! Now we have the stats to back it up. Ever have to change the way you talk or act around others. LBF has been guilty of that when Corporate comes into town. Bob does it when dealing with a bill.

É claro que vamos falar de Playoffs neste episódio. Com o começo das séries na NBB, NBA e Euroleague, não temos como fugir. Mas antes de tudo, precisamos falar de um campeão. Deu Flamengo na final da BCLA, mantendo a hegemonia brasileira no campeonato. Flamengo passou com facilidade por Franca (que havia ganhando do próprio Flamengo no começo da semana, mas pela NBB) e depois atropelou sem dó o Boca Juniors. Um absurdo a diferença dos times. Porque não só o Flamengo ganhou fácil a final, o Franca ganhou fácil o terceiro lugar do Instituto Córdoba, que havia vendido caro a derrota para o Boca na semi. Isso é, existe uma distancia no momento entre os times brasileiros para os times argentinos. Na NBB, o São Paulo surpreendeu. Depois da troca no comando técnico, ainda não perdeu, ganhando as duas últimas partidas da temporada e ganhando o primeiro jogo dos Playoffs em cima do Brasília. Já o Flamengo voltou com o mesmo ímpeto da final e atropelou o Caxias. Pinheiros venceu bem o Unifacisa em Campina Grande, enquanto o Paulistano ganhou com tranquilidade do Bauru na capital. Franca sofreu enfrentando o Pato no sul, e Vasco e São José tem tudo para fazer uma série bem equilibrada. Algumas outras séries vão começar só agora no final de semana. No único campeonato que ainda não está nos playoffs, a LBF teve a sua última invicta caindo. E no jogo que a gente disse que isso podia acontecer. Sampaio recebeu o Sesi Araraquara e ganhou bem. O Corinthians empatou na maior diferença do campeonato em cima do Maringá, 40 pontos, enquanto o Unimed Campinas parece estar se recuperando na competição. Já, quem parece não ter jeito nesta temporada é o Santo André. Na Euroleague, o Real Madrid ganhou do Bayern e se classificou para os playoffs, mas pegou uma pedreira pela frente, o líder Olympiacos. Quem também não vai ter vida fácil e o Paris. O time do Tiago Splitter se classificou em sétimo e vai enfrentar o Fenerbahçe . Outro que não vai ter vida fácil é o Barcelona que está enfrentando um Monaco bem azeitado. Anadolu e Panathinaikos tem tudo para ser o confronto mais equilibrado no fim. Já na NBA, os playoffs começaram com muita diferença. No Leste, três confrontos começaram praticamente decididos. Mesmo com Tatum machucado, o Celtics não teve dificuldade para ganhar a segunda de Orlando. Cavs e Pacers também não tiveram dificuldades em suas duas primeiras partidas. Só Pistons e Knicks parece ter alguma chance de ser interessante. No Oeste a situação não é muito diferente, apesar da boa vontade geral. Lakers apanhou no primeiro jogo e precisou suar sangue no segundo para levar. OKC e Memphis parece ser a varrida mais obvia da competição, como seu o Memphis estivesse satisfeito de ter chegado até ai. Rockets e GSW parecia que seria uma série parelha, com o GSW levando alguma vantagem pela experiência nestes momentos, mas, com o machucado do Butler, deu para ver que o GSW fica previsível e a vantagem passou para o lado de Houston. E ai, para fechar, a série que realmente vale a pena é Clippers e Nuggets. Denver depende muito do que o Jokic conseguir inventar, já que o elenco de apoio não vem bem e seu co-star caiu muito nesta temporada. Enquanto isso o Los Angeles precisa que Kawhi não se machuque, mas com ele saudável é possível perceber o quão bom é o resto do time para apoia-lo. Teve tudo isso e muito mais, então não perde tempo e começa o seu final de semana em grande estilo apertando o play!

What are Louisville's biggest assets and how can we best leverage those?That was recently a topic of discussion on the Access Louisville podcast. We took the weekly LBF show live for a special episode — recorded in front of an audience and with three guests: Jennifer Barber, office member in charge, Louisville, Frost Brown ToddScott Catlett, chair, Impetus for a Better Louisville and former Yum Brands Inc. chief legal and franchise officerMike Mountjoy, founding partner and chairman emeritus of MCM CPAs and Advisors (now Cherry Bekaert)All three were members of LBF's Power 50 list of Louisville's most influential business people. They are all also at different stages of their careers, with Barber making her first appearance on that list, Catlett being a regular and Mountjoy being part of the inaugural Power 50 Hall of Fame. We talked about their careers for a bit at the top of the show, with each sharing their proudest accomplishments.After the career talk, we got to talking about what Louisville should look to accomplish as a city — and they all three had great takes: On building the economy"We talk about bringing big companies here — we don't need to bring the big companies here. We need to bring people here," said Mountjoy. He advocates 0% income tax as a means of doing that. "The businesses follow the people, not the other way around. There aren't enough engineers in Louisville. There need to be more. There's not enough technology people here." On getting involved"One thing about our community is it's small enough if you want to make a difference you can," said Catlett. "There are plenty of organizations where you can contribute and make a difference and it's gonna take that. We can't look to the leaders of the past. We need people to step up — of today's generation, of tomorrow's generation — to really be a force for good in the community." On the workforce"The talent pool is still very strong. Outside of the legal industry, I think the issue for Kentucky and for Louisville is less the talent pool and more workforce participation," said Barber, noting a troubling trend within that metric. "We've got to increase our workforce participation. We're going to have to tackle some things like housing issues and childcare issues to get more Kentuckians and more Louisvillians into that talent pool." Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. It's available on popular podcast services including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

(00:00 - 2:18) It's Friday! We're not going to let this rain ruin our Friday! (2:18 - 5:10) Lock your doors and keep watch. There's a possible serial killer on the loose in New England. We bring everyone up to date on this chilling discovery. (5:10 - 12:09)It's Distracted Driving Awareness month. We discovered that it's just not phones, surprisingly it's eating while driving!

(00:00 - 4:05) It's Thursday! Bob took advantage of the nice weather yesterday and went golfing. He was paired with 3 other people who were walking, Bob took a drive cart. (4:05 - 9:25) Science for the WIN! We now have the answer we've always wanted. Your cat's butthole doesn't touch any of your surfaces! It's all thanks to a 6-year-old who did a study. (9:25 - 16:00) LBF is insane! She has a rule that if there's only two items left, she won't buy them both, Bob thinks it's a stupid rule. He's a believer of first come first serve. (16:00 - 23:31)Bob has hit his Price Breaking point. He was looking at a new restaurant and saw that Ceasar salads were 18 bucks, so he said he's out.

(00:00 - 3:04) It's Wednesday! Spring is in the air! LBF is amazed by the blooming of her Magnolia trees, she's so amazed she forgot we were doing a show. (3:04 - 6:00) There's a new sleep method that is making its rounds; it's called sleep tape. It is when you tape your mouth shut to promote nasal breathing. LBF is all for it and might give it a try. (6:00 - 9:26) It's a new keepsake! It's called a breast milk ring! You can now take breast milk and forge it into a ring you can wear. LBF is out, Bob thinks this is a great idea!

Vamos falar de play-ins. Não tem como fugir. A NBA e a Euro chegaram aos playins e tivemos jogos bons de um lado do Atlantico e jogos bem chumbregas do outro. Mas tudo dentro do esperado. Na NBB estamos chegando nos últimos jogos da temporada regular e com algumas surpresas. O São Paulo, depois de demitir o técnico Guerrinha, ganhou do Minas, de maneira totalmente inesperada. Típico do time nesta temporada. Mas o Minas nem sentiu a derrota e já voltou a ganhar em seguida. Quem subiu de produção, e na hora certa, foi o Corinthians, que é outro time que teve altos e baixos a temporada inteira. Assim como Franca, que começou bem, caiu muito e, de repente, ligou o turbo. Tanto que ganhou do Flamengo no confronto pela NBB abrindo a última semana. O problema é que agora tem a semifinal entre os dois pela BCLA na sexta, no Rio de Janeiro. O vencedor joga no sábado a final contra um argentino. Na Euroliga, semana de Play-ins com o Paris, do técnico Tiago Splitter, fazendo o que poucos achavam possível e batendo o Real Madrid em Madrid para ficar com a 7 vaga dos playoffs. Que semana dos merengues! Agora o Real enfrenta o Bayern que ganhou do Estrela Vermelha, do Yago. Quem ganhar pega o Olympiacos, time que liderou por mais tempo a competição e primeiro colocado ao fim da temporada regular. A WNBA teve seu draft, com os primeiros picks das Golden State Valkyries e uma série de jogadoras estrangeiras entrando na liga. Enquanto por aqui no Brasil, a LBF perdeu mais uma invicta. O Corinthians parece ter se encontrado com as armadoras e o time voltou a crescer, vencer e convencer. Com isso, quem se deu mal foram as meninas do Sampaio Basquete. Agora só o Sesi Araraquara continua invicto, mas, claro, isso pode mudar, já que elas vão a São Luis enfrentar o Sampaio. Para fechar falamos dos Play-ins da NBA, com jogos fraquíssimos e xexelentos, tirando, talvez, o Golden State contra Memphis, que estava caminhando para uma vitória fácil, mas que GSW resolveu deixar emocionante. Além disso temos a situação estranhíssima no Suns, a possível troca de cadeiras nas comissões técnicas, respondemos perguntas do pessoal da live e ainda fizemos nossos chutes para a primeira rodada dos playoffs. Ta grande mesmo o ep, então melhor apertar o play logo e vir com a gente!!!

(00:00 - 3:21) IT'S FRIDAY! Marathon Monday is 3 days away, we talk about the weather for the runners and the nipple chafing, well Bob did LBF just rolled her eyes.

Bob asked for chili not knowing the kitchen closed at 2p, it was 2:02p they said no. But he said it right there I can see the cup and ladle. Still no chili for Bob."

(3:43 - 8:09) Blue Origin launched into space dawning an entire crew of women. Bob thinks Katy Perry shouldn't have gone because she has a 4-year-old. LBF would let Dave go to space, but she won't let him buy a motorcycle. (8:09 - 13:51) Girl you could be in danger say LBF. A woman is going viral on social media after going on a date with a Bro dude who picked up everything on the tab and she was shook. (13:51 - 20:36) I'm not waiting if I get my food before everyone, I'm EATING IT says Bob. LBF thinks that's a bit rude. But she also thinks that it's ok to date someone's ex. What are some more outdated societal rules we need to ban. (20:36 - 27:02) DM Disaster Dale Caught Skipping Work at the Red Sox game.

É... estamos chegando no final das temporadas regulares em todos os lugares. E claro, mesmo com os lugares decididos já em quase todos as ligas, ainda tem bastante coisa em jogo e, claro, mais histórias rolando. Na NBB nós já praticamente tempos os times que vão para os playoffs, mas existem aquelas duas últimas vagas, que se acontecer uma tempestade perfeita, ainda podem mudar. Uma das equipes que deve se classificar, mas não por vontade própria, a famosa classificação culposa, quando não se tem intenção de classificar é o São Paulo. O time já não foi bem no ano passado, mas se recuperou nos playoffs. Só que a inconstância pesou e o time acabou não chegando nas semis. Este ano foi ainda pior e o São Paulo só deve se classificar por um começo bom na competição e pela caos total de algumas poucas equipes nesta NBB. Pior, este ainda tem tudo para ser o último ano do basquete tricolor por algum tempo. Na Euro, os dez times da pós temporada já estão certos. Agora só falta saber a posição deles. Paris conseguiu se classificar e ainda pode acabar em 8 ou 9. Só que isso pode significar pegar Real Madrid ou Barcelona nos Play-ins. Caminho complicado para o primeiro ano da equipe na competição e para o primeiro ano como treinador do nosso Tiago Splitter. O Real fez o que a gente imaginava, um começo e meio de temporada péssimos e ai, quando precisou, foi lá e venceu as partidas se classificando. Só que a gente sabe como é deixar o Real chegar. Não importa a posição, o Real é sempre um perigo na competição. A única competição que esta rolando e ainda esta bem no começo é LBF. Nesta semana, os dois times que estão sobrando no campeonato, adivinhem, sobraram nos jogos de novo. Essa é capaz de ser a temporada mais desbalanceada com Sampaio e Sesi Araraquara parecendo muito acima do resto. Vai precisar algum dos times acordar, to olhando para você mesmo Corinthians. E, não podemos deixar de fora o "novato" Ourinhos. Esse ainda é capaz de pelo menos jogar de igual para igual com os dois. Na NBA deu o que a gente falou: o time mais caro da liga, o Suns, fora dos playoffs. Pior! Fora dos play-ins. Fora da pós temporada. É um tapa na cara da torcida, e devia fazer Durant, Booker e, até, o Beal ficarem envergonhados e pensativos. Já que tem de ficar bem envergonhado e pensativo, de novo, é o o nosso Harrison. Assistiu o Luka Magic desfilar, fazer 45 pontos, chorar com video e ver seu nome cantado pela torcida (além dos pedidos para mandarem embora o próprio Harrison!!!!). Teve isso e muito mais com todos os classificados já fechados para a pós temporada e as perguntas da galera. Então não perca tempo, aperta o play e vem com a gente!!!

UPCOMING EVENT: Access Louisville Live presented by Baird. Be on hand for a live recording of the Access Louisville podcast April 22. Details and registration here.Sometimes Mother Nature just has our number — and that's certainly been true so far in 2025. On this week's Access Louisville podcast we discuss the loss of Thunder Over Louisville — which is being canceled this year because of flooding. On a normal Thunder, about half a million people line the banks of both sides of the river. Kentucky Derby Festival pegs the Thunder economic impact at more than $120 million, while Louisville Tourism charts it at $10 million. A Louisville Tourism spokesperson detailed that their number only accounts for direct economic impact (and excluding things like sponsorship or advertising dollars or TV rights).On this week's show, we also discuss how the flooding has impacted businesses including The Galt House, Captains Quarters and Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort.After the flooding talk, we discuss work beginning on a project at the Kentucky Expo Center. Crews will begin demolishing parts of the existing center, including Newmarket Hall. The cleared space will pave the way for Phase I of the project, which is a new 350,000-square-foot multipurpose building designed to expand and redefine event capabilities at the facility.  Additionally, we chat about Louisville Metro Government taking preliminary steps to restore Louisville Gardens. The city is planning to do exterior demolition around the entrance of the building at 525 W. Muhammad Ali Blvd. And, lastly, Reporter Stephen P. Schmidt is on the show to discuss the latest on how tariffs will affect Kentucky's signature bourbon industry. Tariffs were causing wild fluctuations on Wall Street this week. But they're also something the bourbon industry has been talking about for far longer, including at LBF's recent Bourbonomics event.Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. It's available on popular podcast services including Apple Podcasts and Spotify (which are linked above.)

The city got some surprising news this week with the announcement that Kim Schatzel was out as president of the University of Louisville.What started as a Tuesday night rumor quickly evolved into a close-door meeting of the University of Louisville Board of Trustees on Wednesday. Louisville Business First reporter Michael Jones was at that meeting and shares his insights on the situation on this week's Access Louisville podcast. Perhaps most surprising was that Schatzel's departure was followed by the quick appointment of Gerry Bradley to replace her. Bradley is the third president in five years. UofL has experienced a rotating cast of leaders since longtime president James Ramsey resigned in 2016.Also on this week's show, we discuss the former Highland United Methodist, which recently hit the market. Star Auerbach and her father Rob Auerbach, co-founder of Rainbow Blossom Natural Food Market, had purchased this property in 2023 and were considering a boutique hotel for the space. But after Rob Auerbach passed away in 2024, Star says she's no longer able to do the project on her own — though she would still like to see someone else pick it up.Further, we talk about some recent Downtown property sales including Advocacy Plaza near the courthouse and the former MPI Printing building on Jefferson Street. We chat about development near Lynn Family Stadium and we've got an interesting story involving two bars in NuLu, both of which are named Taj.There's also some content from our sponsors at Baird. LBF's Lisa Benson has an interview with investment strategist Ross Mayfield — they're talking market volatility, tariffs, bourbon and other economic news.Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

'[Olympia's] gorgeous vaulted glass roof feels kind of like a metaphor for the fair itself. Rooted in history, but always looking upwards and outwards.' Something a bit different today: join me for a deep dive into a publisher's experience of London Book Fair 2025. I have been to a LOT of book fairs, but this one was a little different. I'm exploring the issues faced by publishers of all sizes today, navigating challenges such as AI's disruptive potential to the demands of new EU regulations and the current geopolitical chaos, and reflecting on the opportunities they present. Whether you're in the business or simply curious about the world of books, this episode is a behind-the-scenes look at an industry perpetually on the brink of transformation as well as a very personal reflection on how it feels to be part of it.

We chat about several local construction projects on this week's Access Louisville podcast.Topping the discussion is what looks to be a new grocery store at 201 Blankenbaker Parkway. LBF Reporter Joel Stinnett spotted a demolition permit that had been filed to tear down part of the structure there (which used to be home to a Winn-Dixie and Walmart Neighborhood Market) in order to make way for something new.The permit hints at a retailer going into the space and it's the right size for one — though nothing has been confirmed yet. After that we also chat about Kentucky Educational Television (KET) opening its new studio on Main Street, which Digital Editor Zak Owens got a look at earlier recently. Also on this week's show we talk about demolition planned at the former EMW Women's Surgical Center at the corner of 2nd and Market streets. A new 27-story hotel tower has been discussed for that space in the future, but for now the building is being demolished for a parking lot, as Stinnett reported recently. After that we go talk about Stinnett's recent LBF cover story on the largest development opportunities in Louisville, which include the Urban Government Center on Barrett Avenue, the Starks Building in Downtown Louisville and the area surrounding Lynn Family Stadium. You can check out the full story on that development to-do list here.In the second half of the show we switch gears and chat about a handful of local sports stories, including a new platform that allows fans to raise money for college sports recruits. LBF Reporter Stephen P. Schmidt has details on that program here. We also go over news about a former Louisville City FC player going to the MLS and the departure of UofL volleyball coach Dani Busboom Kelly.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

If only we had a crystal ball.In the last several years, the team at LBF's Access Louisville podcast have developed an end-of-the-year tradition where we sit down and try to predict what might happen the next year. In this week's episode, we revisit predictions we made for 2024 — and it was a mixed bag on what we got right and wrong.Some of the things we covered include Racing Louisville FC falling short of the playoffs, rumors of Humana's sale to Cigna (talks of a deal are reportedly off the table) and plans for a new 27-story hotel in Downtown Louisville. We also chat about the latest with the University of Louisville men's basketball team, tensions over development in West Louisville during the last year and Bob Dylan's new attraction in town.Be sure to tune in next week as we look to the future to make predictions for the upcoming year. And the plan is to review them in a year and see how we did.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

After some struggles years ago, Louisville-based Rainbow Blossom has a great last few years. Rainbow Blossom, an independent chain of natural food markets that specializes in natural grocery, body care and health and wellness products, just opened a new East End location a few months ago. It also made LBF's Fast 50 list of growing companies in Louisville in this year, with revenue rising 18% over the last three years to $13.04 million in 2023. Second generation owner Summer Auerbach joins us on the Access Louisville podcast this week and explains things weren't always so rosy. She discusses the challenges and strategies of growing the family business, which was founded by her parents in 1977. Despite opening a sixth location and expanding its New Albany store recently, Auerbach emphasizes maintaining the company's small, accessible, and family-like culture. On the show she also highlights the importance of direct communication, team input,and creating written guidelines for consistency. Auerbach also reflects on overcoming tough times by differentiating from competition, being nimble and innovative, and leveraging data and metrics to drive growth"We have really been able to make changes quickly, to be responsive to community needs and make sure we are separating ourselves from our competition," she said. She also talks about where she sees the company heading in the future — including a potential medical cannabis dispensary license that it is seeking."I think that will be a natural progression for us as that space moves forward," she said. "I'm proud of our state for taking this leap. I'm glad we're not the 50th state [to make marijuana legal.]Auerbach also was recently honored as part of LBF's Most Admired CEOs program. More on her and other honorees here. You can listen to the full interview in the player above as well as on popular podcast services like Apple Podcasts and Spotify (which are also linked above.)

Louisville is getting a new international grocery store — which got us talking about the market's needs on this week's Access Louisville podcast.LBF Reporter Joel Stinnett joins the show this week to tell us about Saraga International Grocery, which has signed a lease and will open its first area store at 200 N. Hurstbourne Parkway inside The Forum Center. This was formerly the site of Lucky's Market, which closed amid a company bankruptcy in 2020. This gets us talking about what we'd like to see in the grocery market in Louisville — a second Trader Joe's and more options inside the Watterson Expressway are on our wishlist. In other grocery news, Stinnett also tells us about the latest with Hy-Vee. In spite of delays, the Des Moines, Iowa-based grocery retailer says it is still planning to open a location in Kentucky. It initially announced plans to build in the Fern Creek area in 2021 but it has yet to happen.Bourbon and restaurant newsLater in the show, we discuss some bourbon industry news with LBF reporter Stephen P. Schmidt, including the auction of a distillery in Downtown Louisville. This auction includes aging bourbon, equipment as well as real estate and other assets. We also talk about a new downtown tasting room for Green River Distilling Co., which sounds  different than some of the other tasting rooms you can find in that it'll have a more sports bar like atmosphere.Finally we wrap up the show with a bit of restaurant and bar news, including the news that Baxters 942 is losing its liquor license. And we discuss a new grab-and-go bar coming to Oxmoor Center that will allow customers to drink while they shop this holiday season. Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.
