  • Wait..what?

    Used to really like listening to you guys until leftist opinions became your narrative. Thought y’all were original and gave information that is backed by actual research. Now I’m seeing the brainwashed zombie speech coming out every episode. UNSUBSCRIBED

    Audio could be much better. For starters turn it up louder so when I’m using maps Siri isn’t screaming at me

Q: What is your fundraising strategy and where are you pulling dollars from for the Bonsai project?

Inside a growing Louisville attraction
Q: How's business?
Business is great and entering the busiest time of the year, with daily activity from rentals, field trips, and general garden admissions, plus a lot of weekend activity as the weather warms.

Q: What are the key brands Pernod Ricard would be most interested in from Brown-Forman's portfolio?
